Maria was the perfect dog carer - she has a very warm and welcoming nature and I immediately felt at ease with her - the dogs were in their element as they had free rein of a garden so could go out whenever they felt like it -my husband and I were able to leave them feeling that they would have a great holiday and more importantly wouldn’t miss us - I fear though, that since being home they are sulking and they can’t quite understand why on earth I took them home!!!

Thank you for helping out. Wallace had a lot of fun

Celeste took great care of our energetic spaniel for the day as a ‘tester’ for longer stays in the future. Bella was very pleased to meet Celeste’s dog and i had no concerns leaving her. I came to collect her to find her very content after lots of keeping everyone company and a good walk. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Celeste to others and have already booked Bella’s next stay! Thanks again to Celeste and her family.

Banksy had not been to the toilet for quite a long period of time wheni collected him, there were 10 poops in 12 hours. He usually goes 3 or 4 times in 24 hours. He did not receive the full dose of supplement, what I can work out is he got 1 tablet each day. I wrote instructions on the box, 2 morning and 2 in the evening in his food bowl. He seemed very stressed and keen to leave, however he has now settled back into a routine.

Maria was a perfect dog sitter for Brooky. Being a puppy, Brooky can be quite a handful, however Maria managed it without any problems. She took him out for regular walks as well as longer trips and kept us updated with plenty of pics. Brooky had a great time playing with Maria's dog and children and he's already looking forward to his next visit. Highly recommended and will definitely use again.

Be very wary of the cheap price. We carefully looked at multiple sitters because leaving our dog causes us very high anxiety. On first impression, and after meeting Maria, she seemed like a good fit. However, after just one day of having our boy, she started messaging to say he “needs training.” This was extremely upsetting and caused us significant anxiety for the rest of our trip. She later apologised for those messages and said he is actually a great boy, which made the initial comments even more confusing. When we returned home, she then claimed that Bear had damaged a hose pipe and demanded £55 for a replacement. She stated that multiple witnesses saw this happen. We found it very strange that, despite there allegedly being multiple people present — all likely with camera phones — there was no photo or video evidence. If I saw a dog damaging my property, the first thing I would do is document it. Our boy has never damaged anything or caused any issues with any other sitters. Unfortunately, we would not use Maria again. This experience has reinforced the idea that sometimes you get what you pay for.
