Pet care experience

Animals should be loved unconditionally ♡

I grew up with a gorgeous border collie whom I trained to a high level as the breed requires lots of mental stimulation and physical activity. In my previous role I would also dog sit a variety of breeds and loved every second!

Serena took charge of my chihuahua at very short notice, I am so grateful for her looking after Lola. I had photos and videos updating me and so pleased she settled in well. Sam and Serena are such a lovely couple and will be definitely booking again with them. Lola came home so happy. Thank you both 😊

Serena and her partner took wonderful care of my Jack Russell, Maya. From the moment we met them, I felt confident that Maya was in loving and capable hands. They were attentive, caring, and made sure she was comfortable and happy throughout her stay. I really appreciated the updates and the genuine affection they showed toward Maya. It was clear that they treated her like part of their family. Maya came home relaxed, happy, and well looked after. I highly recommend Serena and her partner to anyone looking for trustworthy and caring dog sitters. Thank you both for taking such great care of Maya! 🐾❤️

Serena and Sam were the best pet sitters we could have asked for. They took such lovely care of my chihuahua, Milo. I got regular updates and pictures. We couldn’t have been happier with the care Milo received and will definitely leave him with them again. Thank you so much! Xx

Can not recommend Serena more. After Olive's doggy care fell through last minute, Serena came to the rescue. She and her partner were so extremely accommodating, not only taking Olive in on the same day but providing such great communication and care throughout. Olive can be a touch of a sensitive soul at time however, from the snaps that Serena send over during the 4 night stay, settled in immediately. She made us feel extremely reassured throughout the stay took incredible care of our little pooch - would recommend highly. Communicate: 10/10 Doggy love and Care 100/10

Safety, trust & environment

I have a spacious garden in a gated community plus lots of local green areas where furry friends can enjoy long walks and nature. There are many dogs in the neighbourhood for them to socialise! There is a lift in my apartment building for older dogs who may be less mobile, it also leads directly to the garden. My apartment is one floor so the pooch would not have to climb stairs or be separated at night, meaning they would have constant company. I have comfy beds, blankets, treats and toys, and welcome their favourites into the home.
