It was obvious that Kimberley is a dog lover she had a clean comfortable home for Cedric to settle in,we were worried about leaving Cedric as he is a older sick dog .He was given his food medication combs walks and attention he got on well with Kimberley dog and enjoyed his company .We had daily reports and photos so we could relax and enjoy our holiday .Kimberly is a lovely lady and i would not hesitate to ask her to have Cedric again

Absolutely Outstanding Dog Sitter – Kimberley is a Gem! We recently left our two beloved pups with Kimberley for three weeks — the longest we’ve ever been away from them — and naturally, we were extremely nervous. But from the very beginning, Kimberley’s calm, professional approach and genuine love for animals put our minds at ease. Rather than rushing into anything, Kimberley invited us for an initial meet-and-greet to get to know her, her lovely dog Bear, and to see how the dogs would interact. It was clear she truly cared about the wellbeing and comfort of our pets. After a thoughtful introduction and careful consideration, she agreed to look after them — and we are so grateful she did. Throughout the three weeks, Kimberley kept us updated every single day with messages and photos. And let me tell you — she’s not just a dog lover, she’s also a fantastic photographer! Her updates weren’t just reassuring — they brought us joy. She and her partner clearly treated our dogs as part of their family, not just as a job. Bear, their own beautiful and gentle dog, became like a big brother to our two, and watching that bond grow was truly heartwarming. When we picked our pups up today, we noticed something remarkable — they’re thriving. They’ve put on healthy weight, their coats are shiny and well-groomed, and above all, they’re happy. Even within the first hour of being back home, it’s clear they miss Kimberley, her partner, and especially their furry big brother Bear. I can’t thank Kimberley enough for her exceptional care, dedication, and genuine affection for our dogs. We will 100% be using her services again, and I recommend her without a shadow of a doubt. If anyone wants to speak to me directly about our experience, I’d be more than happy to share — that’s how confident I am in recommending Kimberley. Thank you again, Kimberley — you’re one of a kind!

As Teddie is a rescue dog and can be quite nervous and needy, I was quite anxious about leaving him with somebody he didn't know. I needn't have worried as Kimberley and her family took great care of him. Kimberley sent me regular updates and photos to put my mind at ease. It was such a relief to find that he had settled in really well and that he and Bear had become good friends. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Kimberley and would definitely use her again. Thanks Kimberley!

Kimberley and her family are very friendly and welcoming. We are working hard to help my very nervous terrier feel comfortable being left in a different environment and Kimberley is showing kindness and patience with him.

It was our first time leaving our dogs in care with someone who is not family and we could not be happier with how well Kimberley looked after our dogs overnight. She sent us a lot of updates and images, and gave us a peace of mind.
