Shirley is fantastic and took such good care of our dog bear. We had lots of Regular updates, bear also had lots of long walks which he loved and 5 star care from Shirley. Wouldn’t hesitate to book her again, her love care and knowledge for dogs is above and beyond any kennels. I felt reassured that bear was safe with Shirley and bear absolutely adored her 💖💖

Shirley did an amazing job at looking after toby, he had a great stay with her and I received some lovely pictures of him. I think he is missing her and enjoyed his lovely walk with her.

With Rocco never staying with anyone apart from family, it was a worry leaving him with someone we didn’t know. However we can not fault Shirley from start to finish , Rocco has throughly enjoyed his time and been extremely well looked after which has left us feeling so happy that we could enjoy our wedding knowing he was safe,loved and well settled like he would be in his own home . Hope to see you again and we would fully recommend to any other owners needing a dog sitter to have the best time ever.

Bella really enjoyed her stay here and was taken on plenty of different walks. I was kept updated throughout and would definitely choose for Bella to stay here again

Can’t praise Shirley enough, my dog poppy loves her, long walks, treats, toys, what more could a dog want.

Shirley is amazing! We had never left Indie before and were nervous beforehand but on meeting Shirley we were immediately assured that Indie would be happy. Shirley sent photos and videos throughout and Indie had a wonderful time to the extent we were then worried about whether she’d want to leave. The only problem I have with leaving this review is that everyone will want Shirley to look after their dog and be booked up forever. We can’t thank her enough for the care and fun Indie had with her.
