“Yamini looked after our puppy on her first holiday, she really set us at ease with constant video and photo updates. She really understands a dogs (and owners) needs, she is flexible, caring and looked after Nell with love and patience.We will definitely use her again.”

“Jack was really settled & happy during his stay with Andrew. Lots of lovely long walks, and a fair few cuddles on the sofa. They got on like a house on fire, and became firm friends, even though it was only a short stay. Jack didn't even look up when I left after dropping him off... :-( Andrew kept me updated with what they were up to & sent some pictures, which was great. I would have no hesitation in recommending Andrew - he takes time to understand a dog's quirks & foibles, and tailors his plans accordingly. Jack had such a great time that when I went to pick him up, I had to literally drag him to the door!!”

“Alla took great care of our poodle, was super flexible and accommodating, and sent me tons of photos and updates on their adventures so I knew he was having a great time while we were on our weekend away. I think he had an even better holiday than we did! I would definitely book with her again anytime we need a dogsitter.”

“Lucy was absolutely brilliant with Billy. It was my first time using the app so I was slightly nervous about leaving him somewhere new. Lucy suggested a meet and greet prior to his stay and I could tell straight away she was very knowledgeable and loves dogs! Great communication and I received photos and videos throughout his stay. Highly recommend and I am glad to have found Lucy, Billy also clearly loved her ☺️”

“Kate very kindly agreed to look after our two boys with just over a weeks’ notice. We did meet up a few days prior to the stay to make sure our two Labradors were happy with Fraser - not that there were any concerns but a nice touch to agree to meeting up. Kate and her family have done a fab job, plenty of updates and photos. Including a photo of Fraser cuddling into Bailey! Super cute! I think my two labs would have happily stayed longer and were a little disappointed that I picked them up and took them home away from Fraser :) Would definitely book with Kate again and would highly recommend.”

“Charlie loves staying with Victoria and her family as he gets lots of love and attention and he loves to be the centre of attention. I would definitely use Victoria again.”

“Good communication”

“We were very happy with Rocco and Ruby's stay with Barbara. This was our first time leaving them other than one time at a kennels that didn't turn out well. We came home to two happy and contented dogs. Thank you Barbara.”

“Very communicative with lots of pictures. Clearly had lots of fun on their adventures and he came home nice and exhausted. 100% would recommend.”

“Looked after Tobi last minute as family let us down. Tobi was well looked after and enjoyed his time with the two ladies. We were messaged and sent photos of Tobi which was lovely and made the experience a lot easier. Tobi came home extremely happy which was a bonus. Will definitely use again, thank you so much!”

About: I have rescued dogs within my family for 17 years❤️. I have also provided pet sitting services for several years and have had the joy of meeting and cuddling lots of fluffy friends🐶. This varies from dogs, cats and even small animals such as rabbits and hedgehogs. I am a real animal lover and as I live on my own your pet will get my full attention which will not only be great fun & company for me but I’d also be helping you too😃. I work from home currently in a flexible job, I can work around you! Simply drop me a message and I can discuss this with you😃. I have an enclosed back yard that is dog friendly. I can also provide a crated area inside too if this is something you’re dog is used to. My house is a clean and safe environment for any pet and there is plenty of space to play as well as curl up and cuddle with me. I also have a nearby park which is perfect for dog walks. I also have Longsands beach in walking distance too! so if this is an environment your dog enjoys let me know!

“My 6 month pup very quickly bonded with Kate! He was well looked after / doted on and I was very assured that she made him feel happy and in a home from home.”

About: I have a degree in Animal Science (BSc) from Newcastle University and have been around animals my entire life. I grew up with 4 family pet dogs, and once I bought my own home, myself and my partner decided to rescue our own dog - Our gorgeous Shiba named Chilli 🌶️ There is always someone at home and we would care for any animal as we do for our own. We also use Rover when we need Chilli looked after so we understand how important it is finding the right person. I work from home and so does my partner! So someone is always at home and available. We have a dog and understand the routine needed so are flexible for most needs. We have a private fenced garden, our dog is allowed on all furniture and has full roam and we would extend this to any visitors! We live surrounded by lovely wagonways and fields perfect for walking and playing.

“Thank you Dean and Chloe for looking after Millie! The care you gave her was first class. You’re both clearly animal lovers and I felt at ease immediately leaving her with you. She loved spending time with you both and going on walks. You both treated her with love, care and respect, and I’ll always be grateful. She definitely loved all the fuss you made of her! I highly recommend Dean and Chloe to look after your precious fur babies as if they were their own.”

“Anna was lovely and clearly very knowledgable about dogs. Waffles took to her straight away and seemed extremely happy with her. Communication was excellent and much appreciated.”

“Evangelia gave a lot of care, plays and walks to our girl, Maple. Maple wasn't keen to leave when we went over to pick her up:) We are so happy that Maple also had a great time while we were on holiday. She send us a daily updates about Maple which keeps us reassuring. We would recommend Evangelia to anyone who are looking for a responsible and caring dog sitter!”

“Ben was so accommodating towards us, and our dog Darcy. He really helped me out of a tight spot when our usual sitter couldn’t take Darcy. We received regular updates, and Darcy seemed to have a fantastic time with him ! Would definitely book again.”
