Michael and Sandra are the best dog sitters we have ever experienced! Our frenchie stayed with them for 7 nights and I couldn’t have been happier with the experience. I was nervous because our dog is very anxious around other dogs and barks at anything that overstimulates her, and therefore is not everyone’s cup of tea, but she was right at home here. We were regularly kept up to date with photos and messages which put me at ease from day 1. Sandra and Michael themselves are lovely people and so we knew our dog would be taken very good care of, which she certainly was. We have already booked another stay this summer and will hopefully proceed with more bookings as and when. Thank you so much. 10/10!

Fi had a lovely stay with Michael. He did everything to ensure that Fi was as comfortable as possible and made sure that Fi's meal times were exactly as they were at home. He sent me beautiful photos of Fi daily and I could see how happy my girl was enjoying her stay. I can't thank him and Sandra enough. Your 4 legged friends will be well looked after during their stay.

What a lovely couple ❤️. I received daily updates and photos of my fur baby Reese. When I dropped my dog off they made such a fuss over him that he hardly noticed me leaving, and on collection I could tell that Reese had been well looked after and loved during his stay. I'll definitely be booking him in again. Thank you guys for taking such amazing care of my precious boy ☺️.
