Very pleased all round. Hope has been well cared for and is very happy. She fitted in well with the family who seem to have become very fond of her. We would not hesitate to book Marta again if and when we need to.

Having our usual dog sitter unavailable it was difficult to choose someone to trust. Christie made everything so easy and our dog looks to have thoroughly enjoyed her time. We will not hesitate to bring our dog back to Christie next time

Laura is absolutely lovely!! Our 14 year old cockapoo is such a home bird and can get really nervous when we aren’t there but Laura made her feel really settled and by the sounds our doggy had a great time, she came home happy and content!! She updated us and sent us pictures which we really appreciated! Libby is looking forward to her next stay with Laura 🤩

We recently used Martyna’s boarding service for our elderly dog, Molly, who is both blind and deaf. This was our first time using a service like this, and Martyna’s caring and understanding attitude instantly put us at ease. From our initial communication through the app, she reassured us that Molly would be in safe hands and even expressed her enthusiasm about looking after her while we went on a family trip to London. Molly stayed with Martyna for three nights, and from the moment we arrived at her clean and welcoming home, we knew we’d made the right choice. Despite Molly’s poor eyesight and other challenges, she appeared comfortable exploring her new surroundings. Martyna made us feel reassured and comfortable leaving Molly in her care. Even late at night after we dropped Molly off, Martyna kept us updated with text messages and photos, showing Molly happily settled in her bed. Over the course of the stay, she sent us videos and pictures of Molly being petted and enjoying her company. It was heartwarming to see Molly so content and well cared for. We cannot recommend Martyna highly enough. Her professionalism, kindness, and genuine love for animals made the whole experience seamless and worry-free. We will definitely be using her services again in the future. A huge thank you to Martyna for taking such good care of Molly we look forward to next time!

These people clearly enjoy and take care of your dog. They have a good secure garden and the dog got 2 good walks each day. I’m sure my dog Fred has enjoyed every minute of his visit. We will definitely be using them again.

About: I've always had dogs in my life. I lost two elderly dogs last year and so badly miss having dogs . I dog sit for our friends dogs whenever possible, but would like to open our home to more. More cuddles, more walks, more mess and more craziness. If you have a dog who needs close attention and wants to feel secure, I can give that care. If your dog needs long walks, I would love that. Our two dogs became infirm when they were old. If you dog needs extra care as an elderly dog, I have the experience. I hold dog-care insurance. I work part time from home. No routine as such, so I can fit around what your dog needs. Some days are quiet and other days include a long walk and play. We have a large, fenced, dog friendly garden which is completely secure. We have good living space with room for a dog crate, if that is your preference. Your dog will have plenty of room, inside and out. Plus my bed to sleep on, if that is what they like.

About: As a lifelong dog lover and proud pet parent myself, I understand firsthand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. I have my own dogs at home, which means I know the daily joys, challenges, and responsibilities that come with keeping pets happy and healthy. From feeding schedules and playtime to exercise, training, and lots of love, I bring the same level of care and attention to the dogs I look after as I do with my own. RATES ARE NEGOTIOABLE I’ve always had a natural love for animals, and caring for them has been a big part of my life. Whether it’s dogs, cats, or other pets, I find joy in making them feel safe, happy, and loved. As a true animal lover, I treat every pet as if they were my own—providing patience, affection, and dependable care. With my own dogs at home, I understand how much pets mean to their families, and I’m dedicated to giving them the same love and attention they get with you. ⸻ I believe every pet deserves a trusting and safe environment where they can feel comfortable, relaxed, and happy. My priority is creating a space where pets are cared for with patience, kindness, and attention to their individual needs. Whether it’s sticking to their daily routine, providing plenty of play and exercise, or offering calm reassurance, I make sure each animal feels secure and loved. Pet parents can have peace of mind knowing their furry friends are in reliable, caring hands.

There aren’t enough words to describe how fantastic Danielle is. She is so passionate about the dogs in her care and from the moment we first met her and her resident doggos we knew our dog was going to be spoilt and loved whilst we were away. Danielle kept us fully updated throughout our time away with photos and videos - to the point that our dog had such a great time she is sulking about being back home. Thank you so so much - we wouldn’t have Anna stay anywhere else now!

Coco had an amazing time for her second stay, we knew she would after her first short stay and when we dropped her off for her most recent stay she was very excited getting out of the car and rushing into the garden. Definitely recommend Janet to anyone we had regular updates of how Coco was getting on and when we collected her she was disappointed to be leaving.

Susan was amazing with my eight-month old puppy. She asked lots of thoughtful questions to make sure she knew exactly how to care for him, which made me feel completely confident leaving him in her care. He had plenty of walks and playtime and especially loved interacting with the other dogs.

Rebecca is a lifesaver! This was Lizzie's 1st time away from home so I was quite anxious about how it would affect her. I needn't have worried as Rebecca was very caring and Lizzie loved her from the first meeting. She was very friendly and professional, sending regular updates whilst we were away, enabling us to have a stress free trip. Lizzie was happy and calm when I picked her up, I don't think she missed me at all! I would definitely book Rebecca again, and can fully recommend.
