“We can’t rate Lauren highly enough! Our Bella loved her time with Lauren and the kids. Trying to pick Bella up to bring her home and she curls up next to Lauren, which I’m taking as the dog equivalent of “I want to live here now”. We’ve already rebooked with Lauren for the next trip away”
“Rocky had the best day with Jennifer. He was very well looked after and he kept on running back to her when I picked him up, which is unlike him as he can take a long time to get used to someone. She kept me updated the whole day with photos and videos, which was lovely.”
About: Have a 5 yo greyhound who is very friendly and loves a doggie playdate. We're near memorial park and fields for nice walks, got secure garden and dog proofed house. Me and my partner work from home, so have plenty of time for walks, playing and ear scratchies. Happy to work with what schedule is needed for your dog I have a fenced garden and a friendly chill greyhound to keep your baby company. I have space for a crate if that's needed and happy to give medication
“Catherine was great, we did a meet and greet and our pups were happy to spend time together. It was easy to drop off and pick up and Catherine and pup allowed Maggie the whole sofa while they sat squashed into an armchair - what more could I want for my little princess haha :)”
“rosie looked after rex today ( mother’s day ) he had so much fun and come home straight to sleep, tired from the long walks and play he had, she sent me videos and pictures through the day . will definitely be in touch again soon :)”
About: We have been around dogs our whole lives and have been helping care for family, friends' and neighbours' pets. We understand the importance of keeping pets happy, safe and comfortable while their owners are away. Whether it's feeding, walking, playtime, administering basic care, or simply providing companionship, we treat every dog as if they were my own. Pet care fits naturally into our daily routine. Elicia works from home during the day, while Jack works during the day and is home in the evenings, meaning there is usually someone available to provide care, attention and companionship. We already enjoy taking two walks each day, so regular exercise and outdoor time are part of our routine. Your dog would be treated as part of the family, with plenty of opportunities for walks, playtime, affection and relaxation throughout the day. We are committed to maintaining your pet's usual routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and settled while in our care. We provide a safe, caring and comfortable environment for every dog in our care. We live in a flat with access to a secure garden, giving dogs space to relax and enjoy outdoor time throughout the day. Dogs staying with us will receive at least two walks a day, alongside plenty of attention, playtime and companionship. We are happy to accommodate crate-trained dogs and will follow their normal routine to help them feel settled and secure. We will cater to your dog's feeding schedule and any specific care requirements, ensuring their needs are met while they are with us. Regular toilet breaks are provided throughout the day, and we ask that dogs are house-trained. We will send regular updates for what your doggy is up to!
“Being the first time that we have used Harry for boarding our dog Lulu we were very impressed. We were kept informed on how she was, also Harry sent us lots of photographs of Lulu. Highly recommend and we will definitely be using Harry again”
About: I’ve always had pets in my family home and we currently have 2 dogue de bordeaux’s! All of the dogs we have owned have lived with us until they passed, meaning I have experience with puppies through to seniors! As well as this, I have always had large dog breeds, the biggest being 2 Newfoundlands, so I am able to cope with many challenges our pets can throw our way. I’m a university student currently at home for the summer which makes me perfect for caring for your pets! I absolutely love getting out and about so I’d love to take your dog for a lovely new walk! I have a fenced in back garden and two loving female French Mastiffs, they’re giant teddy bears with no prior issues with other animals! If you would prefer for me to sit inside your home, I will be happy to leave my two at home as my partner will be there, do not feel like they are necessary as well! :)
About: What sets me apart is that I truly care for every dog as if they were my own. I’m patient, reliable, and attentive to each dog’s needs, whether they’re playful puppies or older dogs who need a gentler approach. I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved, while keeping you updated for complete peace of mind. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine as I’m currently not working, so I have flexible availability for dog walks and visits from 9am to 5pm. This means I can give your pet reliable attention, consistency, and plenty of care during the day. In my home, pets will be cared for in a safe, calm, and loving environment. I have a fenced garden for secure outdoor time and play, and I’ll make sure each pet feels comfortable, happy, and well looked after.
“Thank you so much for looking after Nia so wonderfully! It was really a home from home for her, with Ria and Greg taking the time to find out about Nia’s routine meaning she settled in in no time at all. Regular updates too so it was great to see all the walks and games they got up to, keeping our spritely Labrador thoroughly entertained!! Would 100% recommend.”
“Stephanie and Louis are amazing pet carers, Anakin is happy when he see them, and returns home playful and with great spirit. Photos are frequent, they are genuinely interested in learning what is good for Anakin. I would 100% recommend Stephanie”
“Would 100% recommend Javier and will use him again. He was so attentive towards Marley, making sure she and myself felt re-assured it was the first time leaving her and he made it so much less stressful sending pictures and texts every day.”
“Five stars isn’t enough for Charlie and Gary! They looked after Lola, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. From the start, they were incredibly attentive, asked lots of questions at the meet and greet, and then followed Lola's care instructions. We were so grateful for the frequent photo updates, it really put our minds at ease seeing her so happy and settled while we were away. Lola had a blast on all her lovely walks, and the best part was seeing her bond with their dog, Jenny. By the time we picked her up, they were buddies! It’s such a relief to find sitters who truly treat your pup like family (and let's her snuggle on the sofa!) We would recommend Charlie and Gary in a heartbeat and will definitely be booking with them again in the future. Thanks again, guys!”
“David took wonderful care of our Lab Douglas whilst we went on holiday. We had regular updates and could see he was having a wonderful time. Would absolutely recommend. Thank you David!”
“Rianna has recently looked after Scramble for the first time and he had a great stay! Rianna kept me updated throughout. Collected a very happy dog :) will definitely board Scramble with Rianna again - would recommend without reservation!”
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals since I was a kid, specially dogs! I have been a pet care pro for over 4 yrs. Pets stay with us in our own home and get treated like one of the family! I’m always home during the week and I have 2 teenagers and hubby that are in and out of the house and love to fuss and treat our furry guests too! My home has a fenced garden. An animal loving grown up family to give lots of cuddles. When visiting your home I take care of your pets as if they were my own.

Catherine treated my Maggie like her own and was truly spoiled! I got photos of long walks, picnics and trips to cafes. Cat met with us twice before the boarding to ensure she learnt everything about my dog and Bernie got on with Maggie. Brilliant experience for me and my dog! If she could talk, I’m certain she’d ask to go back.
My goldendoodle Kassie spent her first day with Tori and I amso happy. Kassie was a good girl for Tori. Tori sent photos throughout the day and Kassie looked so happy and having fun. Now we have found Tori we will not be going anywhere else. One very happy dig mum xx
Yvonne and her family are amazing! They took such a great care of my sausage dog Bruno! From all the photos and videos she was sending me, whilst he was with them, I can tell he was feeling safe and loved. Thank you, Yvonne! I’m sure Bruno and I will see you again! ❤️
She was absolutely amazing with my dog. Her communication was excellent. She always kept me updated with clear information and sent lovely photos where I could see just how happy and comfortable my dog was during the stay. It was obvious that she has great experience and truly cares about providing high-quality service. She was also incredibly flexible and helpful when arranging all the details. I feel so grateful to have found such a wonderful sitter. Highly recommended! 🐶✨
Cooper had a fantastic time and we felt happy whilst we were away knowing he was being well looked after. Nothing is too much trouble and Cooper had some fantastic walks and interactions with other dogs. We had regular updates and pictures as well. Cooper loves his times with Sydney, Cat and Bernie…
It's always a bit stressful when you leave your pets with someone you don't know very well and it was a long stay, but as soon as I met Shaki I was able to relax and felt confident Terrance would be fine and well looked after and he was. She kept me up to date throughout with photos and videos and kept up with his medications etc. Would happily book with her again. Thanks Shaki for looking after him so well.
Absolutely brilliant, can't recommend enough. We had daily messages and photos/videos. He clearly had so much attention, love and care - i am sure he is sulking to be home! I will definitely be using Maria and her family again! The first time our boy has been away from us and he was so comfortable and happy. I am so glad we found you and can put so much trust in you to care for our little man! Thank you all so much!
