She kept us updated with messages and adorable photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our dog clearly felt safe and loved with her. Maria is kind, dependable, and truly has a gift with animals :) we’re so thankful for her help and wouldn’t hesitate to call on her again x”

About: I’ve had dogs in the family since I was a baby including an English Bull Terrier, a Beagle & a Staff! We absolutely love animals, dogs in particular, but recently bought our home and plan to renovate in the future so don’t want to get our own dog until that is complete & we can offer it a calm and settled home! We’ve looked after all types of dogs, from Daschunds, Beagles & Cockapoo’s all the way through to big American Staffordshire Terriers so are happy to care for all kinds! ☺️ Me and my fiance both work fully remote, so will be at home 5 days per week. We can also be available/at home on weekends. We have lots of parks and walking areas within a close walking distance and can easily fit walking, toilet breaks and play time into our schedule! We have a 70ft long, fully fenced in garden, as well as lots of local areas to walk the dog, and internal space to put dog beds.


15. Emily H.

“You can tell Emily really cares for her dog Pretzel and it also showed with Winston. They seem to be best little buds in their walks and plays together and Winston is always happy to happy to part ways with me in the mornings when he sees who he's spending the day with.”

“Great dog sitting service provided. Responsive, comprehensive questions asked at the outside to get to know coco and ensure they had her needs covered and lots of updates and pics throughout the day! Would recommend!”


17. Tamara T.

“Although Finn only spent an afternoon with Tamara he seemed perfectly happy when I collected him. Tamara said he took a while to get used to her but hopefully the next time they will be friends 😊”

About: Work from home full time with my super friendly rescue pup. Have a fully enclosed garden and a lovely pup who would be glad of some doggy company. I work from home full time, all week day evenings free along with weekends if they are booked in advance. My dog is treated like a member of our family, just like yours would be too! I have a fully fenced garden and a gate at the side. Walks definitely once but also sometimes twice a day. Treats throughout the day if allowed. Dogs allowed on sofa and plenty of cuddles all day!
