10. Courtney A.
“Courtney has always been my first option to take care of my cat Talulah. She never fails to make sure she’s fully taken care of providing me with updates and photos of her while I’m away. The love and care she has for animals always makes me feel 100% reassured that Talulah is in the best hands and loves her like she’s her own. I couldn’t recommend Courtney enough if you’re looking for someone to take care of your animals.”
11. Millie B.
About: Hi I'm Millie I really love spending time with dogs and have lots of experience in taking care of them. I haven’t got any kids around so no need to worry if your dog isn’t great with children but I do live at home with my parents ( which are also the biggest dog lovers ) we have only recently just lost our cocker spaniel that we had for 12 years and we are just looking to help you out and give lots of dog cuddles and walks.i am new to this app and would mean so much to me to be able to look after your dogs . I’ve got a big outside space your dog can use. I’m looking for a lovely dog that I can take for walks and have at home as well. I currently work full time 9-5 Monday to Friday but I do have lots of free time and an hour lunch in between so please do request any day and I may be able to accommodate . This means we will be able to work around you as if I’m not around my loving family will be ! Would mean the world for us to take care of a dog again. I have a big Fenced Garden where your dog can run up and down. We have no rules unless you do for example if your dog likes to go on the bed / furniture they will be aloud. If you do not allow this in your home we will make sure it is the same with me


12. Catherine L.

“This was the first time Molly has been away overnight but she was excited to stay with Cath. Molly settled well, eating and sleeping in her routine way. Cath took her for a walk in the afternoon then sent photos and progress reports of a happy dog.”


13. Reece O.

“If you’ve got a reactive dog, you can be sure they’ll be well looked after with Reece and Lucy! In the past I’ve been so worried about leaving my cocker spaniel with sitters, but from the moment we met I could see how much these two really care about dogs and therefore would prioritise Otis’ comfort, looking out for him and having plans in place for moments where he might have gotten stressed. It turns out this was barely needed as clearly Otis felt right at home from the off, and he didn’t have a single moment of reactivity the whole weekend - which is amazing and absolutely testament to the great care that he was shown. I felt really relaxed about leaving Otis with Reece and Lucy, and I’d 100% do this again. Great comms before and during Otis’ stay too. Thank you both!!”


14. Lisa T.

“Great communication before and during booking. Felt happy leaving our dogs with Lisa and the dogs came back looking like they had a great time. Recieved pictures of the pups while we were away which I loved. They looked happy and content 😍 Would highly recommend and book again. Thank you”


15. Chui Wan C.
About: With over 20 years of experience caring for both dogs and cats, I’ve had the joy of growing up surrounded by pets thanks to my family’s love for animals. This has given me a deep understanding of their needs, behaviors, and unique personalities. I’ve also had hands-on experience caring for pets with special needs, such as a British Shorthair cat with a heart condition, ensuring their comfort, safety, and well-being at all times. What makes me stand out as a pet sitter is my lifelong dedication to animals and my ability to provide attentive, personalized care. I bring not only experience but also empathy and patience, making pets feel secure and loved in my care. I’m comfortable with senior pet care and can handle the specific challenges that come with medical needs or administering medication. My approach prioritizes the happiness and health of every pet as if they were my own. As someone who works from home, I have a highly flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate ample time to caring for pets nearby. My daily routine revolves around creating a calm and loving environment for pets, ensuring they get the attention, care, and companionship they deserve. Whether it’s regular walks, feeding, playtime, or keeping their spaces clean and comfortable, I’m able to seamlessly integrate pet care into my day-to-day activities. My flexibility also means I can accommodate specific needs or schedules, providing reliable and personalized care that fits around the pet and owner’s requirements. When caring for pets in my home, I create a safe, clean, and pet-friendly environment, ensuring they feel comfortable and secure at all times. I carefully remove any hazards, such as toxic plants or small objects, and provide plenty of space for play and relaxation. Their well-being is my top priority, so I maintain a consistent routine for feeding, walks, and playtime, tailored to their specific needs. When looking after pets in their own home, I prioritize respecting the owner’s space while ensuring the pets feel at ease in their familiar surroundings. I follow detailed instructions regarding feeding, exercise, and care routines, while also keeping the home tidy and safe. Building trust with both pets and owners is essential, so I maintain open communication and provide regular updates, giving peace of mind that their furry friends are in caring and responsible hands.


16. Lidia G.

“Just amazing… Archie felt right at home as soon as he met Lidia & her husband. To be able to leave your fur baby for a period of time in a place that your dog feels is “home away from home” is fantastic. Thanks so much for looking after Archie. He’s looking forward to his next visit soon!”


17. Poppy R.

“Poppy & family have been wonderful in caring for Nelly! We did plan on her having Nelly sooner for a shorter period but due to an unforeseen emergency Nelly ended up spending a prolonged period with them. She loved her stay, regular updates, Nelly also made best friends with her dog. What a wonderful holiday home from from for a Nelly 💕. They have also been super supportive after my accident and I look forward to seeing Nelly have fun with them again soon! Thanks guys!”


18. Reece W.
“Reece cared for my dogs while I was away and I must say he was outstanding with the level of care he went too to care for my dog while I was away. Very understanding of there routine and there medication she needed at certain times, he changes his and his dogs routine to work around dogs he sits which I think is great. Also sending regularly updates and pictures for peace of mine and I must say my dog had an absolutely amazing time. Thanks again Reece, we will back soon.”


19. Sophia M.
About: As a family we have had my parents whippet to stay with us regularly For the last 10 years. We have also had our friends labrador to stay when his owners go away. We offer lots of love and great walks. I am currently part-time in a local school. Off Friday, Saturday, and Sunday to take good care of a dog. I also pop home on lunch for 30 minutes so can let a dog out and check on them. My work days are relatively short from 830am until 3pm. My partner is also off from midday Friday until Monday and loves walking. We have a 14 and a 10 year old who both love dogs. We have lots of experience looking after dogs and our two children are sensible and responsible having grown up around dogs. We have a fenced, enclosed large outdoor yard. Plenty of space for a crate too indoors. We are very near lots of walks in our area. If your dog doesn't like being crated but can be left, then we are happy not to crate them. We will accommodate individual needs ♥️
20. Olivers T.

“I am always a little concerned leaving Lola with anyone. As she didn't have a good start in life. I had a very good feeling on our first meeting with Ian and Tracy. I immediately felt at ease as they clearly experienced and comfortable with dogs. They have two dogs of their own and Lola was happy to be with them. I always feel a little nervous and guilty when we go away. So to have someone like Ian and Tracy who reassures you, that she will be well looked after, gives you peace of mind. Excellent communication received, with regular updates and photos, this all helped us. Lola had lots of walks and play time, she was very happy and relaxed when we picked her up. ` I will definitely be using Ian and Tracy again. I highly recommend them for dog boarding. Thank you again.”
