“My boy Charlie spent 2 days with Alana while I was away with work. We had a meet and greet beforehand to make sure the dogs got on well together. Then I dropped Charlie off for his stay and I was pleased to receive updates letting me know how he was getting on and photos to show he was enjoying himself! Alana was friendly and easy to communicate with. I’d definitely recommend!”

“Ella was absolutely fantastic with Shadow! I reached out to her at very short notice for a couple of nights, and she was incredibly accommodating, even allowing me to drop him off later in the evening after work. During his stay, she kept me updated with an amazing 'photo dump' showing Shadow having the best time playing fetch. It gave me such peace of mind knowing he was settling well at night and getting lots of love and cuddles. I highly recommend Ella to anyone looking for a reliable, caring dog sitter. Shadow will definitely be back!”

“Nicola was so welcoming! She arranged to meet us before we confirmed if we were comfortable booking with her, where she allowed us into her home with our a dog so we could see the space for ourselves. She was so kind and caring for our dog who was only staying away from us for the 2nd time. She sent constant photos of him being happy during his stay and even went out of her way to take him to the river. We couldn't recommend her enough and she will always be an option for us going forward if we are ever in need of a sitter again. Thank you Nicola for making our Arnie feel at home”

“We have just returned from a 2 week holiday in greece and we're very nervous about leaving our dogs but leaving them with maxine and her family was the best decision. Maxine was terrific she sent photos and videos everyday making our holiday more enjoyable knowing that our fur babies were getting well taken care of. Maxine looked after Heidi and benji as if they were her own we couldn't of asked for a better sitter we think she is amazing and carnt thank her enough. Maxine took the dogs for a few walks leading up to our holiday which was really good to make them feel settled she showed them love and welcomed them into her family. Thankyou so much we will most definitely be asking her to look after them again and will be recommending her 100 percent to family and friends”

“Brilliant service! Kobi had the best time with the Yana and their dog. Kobi made best of friends with them. I had updates throughout Kobi’s stay which was reassuring. He is now back with me and a very sleepy boy showing he has been walked well! Which is hard to achieve with a Border Collie. Thank you Yana and to your partner and pup also! I will be returning for future visits with Kobi x”

“Arlo always loves spending time at Eva's , he always gets very excited when we pull up at her house. Eva provides updates and photos of Arlo throughout the day which is really nice to see. Eva has lots of room and a big garden for dogs to run around in which is ideal for a dog with lots of energy and she takes them for walks also. Thankyou again for having Arlo 🐕”

About: I have grown up with a household full all animals ranging from insects, rodents, cats and dogs. I have looked after and walked dogs since I was 15, and have owned dogs for the last 13 years. I have always had a passion for animals and hold an honors degree in animal behaviour. I have always rescued dogs (greyhounds) and take on the older ones with behavioural or health challenges. I have a lot of experience with older dogs and dogs that come with additional care requirements. I have completed dog first aid, cared for dogs with severe injuries and health issues ranging from dog attacks to advanced cancers, organ failure and spinal issues. I am very experienced in administering medications for unwell animals and a dab hand with vet-wrap for those clumsier pups (side effect of owning sighthounds). I work full time, however I will be taking your dogs into work with me where it is a dog friendly environment. They will receive 24hr care. There are fields and woodlands nearby for walks. I will tailor my care for you pets. I have a good size house with a fully fenced garden. The fence is 6ft so they will be secure. Your pets will be able to roam free, however I do have a crate for any animals that prefer to sleep in them or younger ones that might need time outs to continue crate training.

“Our two dogs settled really quickly in Kate's home. It was the first time we'd left them anywhere overnight and we felt happy and relaxed that they were in good, safe, caring hands. Would definitely recommend 🩷🩷”

“We have used Emma for dog boarding for many years now and she never lets us down. Another fantastic dog boarding experience- can only recommend!”

“Amanda was so friendly and welcoming from the very start. I immediately felt comfortable leaving my dog with her, and it was clear how caring and genuine she is. She took such lovely care of him and kept me updated, which gave me complete peace of mind. He was so happy and settled when I picked him up, and I could tell he had really enjoyed his time with Amanda. She’s a lovely lady, and I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again. Thank you so much, Amanda, for looking after him so well! ❤️”

Joanna C.

“Max seemed completely settled with Wendy - he didn't want to come home! We were sent regular updates & photos, which was really reassuring for two worried parents 😜. Wendy is very organised & communication has been excellent. Max is already booked in for his next visit. ☺️”

“Rex had the best over night stay with Steve and he came back absoulutely knackered! We had photos through out his visit and Steve was very accomodating around us with drop off and pick up, he was so friendly and treated him so well! I knew Rex would be happy as soon as we dropped him off! Thank you Steve!”

“This was our first time using Rover and Odie’s first time away from family members we thought kennels wouldn’t be the right solution for Odie as he needs a quiet space being an older dog and after hours of scrolling for the right person we came across Michael. Reading his profile gave us reassurance and confidence that he would be the right person to look after our boy with his home offering a home from home environment, quiet space, meeting routines, patience and understanding of his personality he ticked all the boxes! Michael was quick to respond with any queries before we went ahead with booking. We received lovely pictures and videos of Odie out on walks and snuggled up at his home and he looked very happy and content throughout the whole Holiday.We had no worries or concerns at any point. We wouldn’t hesitate to book again in the future with Michael as he was very kind, approachable and genuinely very caring. Thanks again Michael for looking after our Odie boy and it was an absolute pleasure meeting you. Enjoy your thank you gift🍾 Craig, Kerri, Kids and Odie”

“Biscuit's initial stay was a trial run for when he's left longer. Liam, Hannah and Beau were absolutely brilliant with our little Biscuit. We had some nerves with Biscuit being newly rehomed to us and still just finding himself, but we needn't have, within 15 minutes of leaving we had a photo of Biscuit cuddled up to Hannah. We had plenty of updates and nothing was a bother when we messaged Liam, even when we forgot to send Biscuit's rain jacket and towel. We have no worries about leaving him with Liam, Hannah and Beau again in a few weeks :)”

“Fantastic! I can't praise Grace enough. My pet made himself at home straightaway. I was happy that he was in such a caring environment. Many thanks, Grace.”
