Ratings and reviews
Fantastic care from Laura, Murphy loves being with her and I can be confident that he’s well cared for. We’re both looking forward to his next visit.
Laura was so amazing with our dogs Nova and Lottie! They settled in so quickly and had such a fun day. Laura is lovely, professional and super attentive to their needs. We got lots of great photos and videos which we loved! Couldn’t recommend them enough - thank you xx
Fantastic care from Laura and Simon, I felt confident leaving my puppy with them, even though he is a high energy boy. He has returned home happy and relaxed and ready for a nap. Great communication and organisation. Murphy is looking forward to his next visit!
We left our 10 month old Cockerpoo puppy with Laura and Simon for the day and couldn’t have felt more relaxed. We were given a warm welcome and felt confident that Percy was going to have a good day. Despite the wet weather he had a lovely walk and nicer still lots of indoor game playing! We also received some lovely photos and videos during the day which always gives that reassurance. When we arrived to pick him up, we could tell he was happy and relaxed. I would not hesitate to recommend Laura and Simon…. Five star dog sitters!!
Laura and Simon were fantastic! We have an anxious dachshund and always worry about leaving him but after Rufus met Laura and Simon we knew there was nothing to worry about. They made sure Rufus had a great day filled with play and cuddles! The photo and video updates put us at ease. We would definitely book with Laura and Simon again!
Laura and Simon were great looking after our boy, You can tell they really care about dogs and treated him like one of their own. We got photos and videos of him in the local area while we were away, which was really reassuring.When we came home he was happy and relaxed, and we'd definitely leave him with them again.

Schedule
🗓 How my pet care fits into daily life: Most reliable availability: Friday – Sunday Some flexibility midweek depending on work schedule Dogs receive company and attention throughout the day (not left alone for long periods) Care is shared between both me and Simon, so there’s consistent supervision.
- 0 to 7 kg7 to 18 kg18 to 45 kgLaura can host up to 3 walks per day
- 💡 Things to share with me before your dog stays. To provide the best possible care, it’s helpful to know: - Your dog’s routine and preferences - Behavioural traits (e.g. recall, energy levels, reactivity) - Any training cues or commands they respond to - Medical or dietary needs 🚽 Toileting & house training - Whether your dog is fully toilet trained - How confident they are in a new environment - Any known signals to look out for ✔ Toilet breaks can be provided regularly, depending on your dog’s needs 🐕 Out and about For dogs without reliable recall: Long leads are used to allow safe freedom while out and about in parks
