“We were really happy with Owens dog boarding as my dog was a bit nervous at the beginning and he helped her become a lot more confident with other dogs. He also sent a lot of photos and updates.”


2. Marcela S.

“2nd time watching Blu, he was so excited to see them! They took great care of him, kept me updated with adorable pictures included and bought him treats!”


3. Paulina S.

“Snowy our Maltese boarded with Paulina for 3 nights over the Christmas break. Whilst with Paulina, we received many updates from Paulina on how Snowy was doing. Paulina had maintained great communication from when we met up for meet and greet to the end of the stay. Paulina was also very consistent and did not change time and dates and was flexible with our drop off and pick up time. We had the impression that Paulina is a genuine dog lover and we will not hesitate to seek her assistance in the near future.”


4. Sharon R.

“Have never boarded my little rescue dog, Charley, and was very apprehensive how he would react as he is very clingy and likes to be with you all the time. Sharon sent me daily photos and little notes on how he was doing, and this really put my mind at rest. I could tell he had a lovely time as after his initial mad greeting, he went over and sat back on Sharon’s lap! 🤣 definitely boarding Charley with Sharon again. Her little dog Lula was so good with Charley as well. Thank you Sharon!”

“I left my dog with Pawel and his parter during the Christmas holidays for about a week and she loved her time with them! They are absolutely amazing people, you can tell by how caring they are with dogs immediately. Pawel was super attentive to Yole’s needs and made me feel at ease while away! It seems like she got on amazingly with their dogs too! Would definitely trust them again with my furbaby in the future!”

“I can’t recommend Jose enough as a dog sitter! He recently looked after my dog, Hugo, and I was so impressed with his professionalism and kindness. Jose clearly loves what he does. Hugo was so happy and had an amazing time playing with his new dog mates. It gave me real peace of mind knowing Hugo was in such good hands. We’ll definitely be booking with Jose again!”

“Juno had a fantastic time with Anke! She was incredibly sweet, thoughtful, and accommodating, and her lovely family made Juno feel right at home. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would happily book with her again. Highly recommended!”


13. Darwin A.

“We couldn't be happier with Darwin as a dog sitter for our chocolate labrador, Mango. He truly understands the specific needs of labradors: providing Mango with plenty of exercise, attentive care, and, importantly, being firm about food rules (which we really appreciate!). Mango was clearly very happy and well looked after. Darwin also kept us updated with regular messages and photos, which meant so much to us and especially our kids, who were missing Mango terribly. Highly recommended!”

“Sarah Jane and her family were lovely, made us feel welcome and was happy to answer any questions. Good communication, and Melly settled in very well, while we were away Sarah sent picture's of Melly which was lovely. When I picked her she was happy and looked really good. I hope to use Sarah Jane again!”

About: I have deep personal experience caring for a dog with medical issues for 14 years. This has given me a clear understanding of how to manage health concerns, administer medication properly, and provide the patience and attention that special-needs dogs require. I’m committed to maintaining your pet’s natural routine, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and at ease while you’re away. Whether your dog needs extra care, a calm presence, or just someone who truly understands their needs, I’m here to help. I currently do hybrid working, so I work from home and also in the office, this includes my sister who can safely look after your pets if I am ever called into the office. My weekends are free. Pets can roam freely within my home, I have a lovely small balcony for pets who love to sunbathe or watch the birds. I have a large open space garden, a large walking trail field, and a nearby vet.


20. Charlotte S.

“Charlotte was great with Vinnie. He had a wonderful time and made great friends with Chester. It was my first time leaving Vinnie for so long and Charlotte did everything to make me feel reassured that he was safe and having a good time. Cannot recommend highly enough and I look forward to Vinnie and Chester’s play dates in the future.”
