“What an amazing couple. Lexi absolutely loved it and felt tight at home. She suffers from separation anxiety and didn't seem to struggle at all. She absolutely loved her stay and I can't thank the 2 of them enough. Absolutely first class, amazing care for our little doggo. Thank you so much guys and we will be putting plenty more dates in the calendar. I think she's missing you both since she's got back ❤️”


“Cooper spent longer with Dave this time and was very relaxed when he came home. He was wagging his tail in his sleep so that must mean he made some great memories during his stay with Dave 😁👍”


“Nothing was too much trouble for Mariesa. This was the first time we have left our anxious whippet Charli overnight and we were fretting about how much anxiety she would exhibit. Mariesa distracted any signs with play, games and love. Will not hesitate to book Mariesa again and cannot recommend her highly enough.”


“Lauren was fantastic! She looked after our Frenchie (Toby) Friday-Monday and he had the best time. He’s not the most social dog and she handled him so well and he loved her. He went on plenty of walks and was well looked after. Lauren sent us plenty pictures to keep us updated which made us feel at ease too. Will use her services again & would recommend!”


About: Since my childhood, we have always had a pack of dogs and other animals in our family home. I qualified as a veterinary nurse in my youth and have since always had a dog to enjoy life with. I am able to see when trouble is brewing and love them to have a great day so they are relaxed and have nice dreams when they sleep. I have a school run to do at both ends of the day but am generally home and longest I leave my own dog is about 2 hours to pick up shopping. Before going out, I take care of my dog by taking him for his routine walk. On my return we generally go somewhere fun to walk like the woods or play hide the treat in the garden or house, play ball etc. I have things to do in the garden so any dogs would be outside with me as much or as little as they want. My own dog would love to play all day with any visiting dog if they are up for it. I have a fenced /sectioned garden for the dogs to roam around in. Both my home and garden make it easy to separate any dog if things get a little crazy, until they calm down. I also have a large crate available if required. They would have access to water at all times and have both shade and sun (if its out). As long as they are toiket trained, they will have access to all of downstairs including couches and sleep arrangements will be agreed with the owner of the furry visitor.

“Ashley looked after our dog Chai for two days, and it was the first time we’d ever left her with someone else. He was super caring and attentive, and made sure to send us lots of pictures and updates, which really helped us feel at ease. We’d definitely recommend him to others and will be booking with him again!”


“My kitten Maggie needed to be looked after a bit last minute and I was so pleased to of found Rebecca and her lovely daughter! I felt completely comfortable leaving her in their care. I got photo and video updates and had no doubt in my mind she was being looked after brilliantly! Have already recommended to a friend! Super grateful they could help me at short notice! Thanks again girls ❤️”


“Absolutely delighted with Dominika. My dogs were very happy on pick up. The family atmosphere is so lovely. They are a very dog friendly family. I was sent photos throughout my holiday off the dogs out and about. Dominika is caring, attentive and just such a lovely person. Delightful experience and 100% would use Dominika again.”


About: With years of hands-on experience caring for dogs & puppies. I provide dependable, loving care tailored to each pet’s unique personality and needs. Whether it’s energetic puppy playtime, gentle attention for senior pets, or administering medication, I make sure every animal in my care feels safe, happy, and loved. I treat every pet as if they were my own—earning trust, building routines, and making sure their days are filled with comfort, companionship, and care. Pet care is my full-time focus, which means your pet will get consistent, dedicated attention throughout the day. Since I don’t work outside the home, I’m available for flexible scheduling, last-minute bookings, and extended stays. I’m home the majority of the day, so your pet will never be left alone for long periods—and will always have someone nearby for cuddles, potty breaks, playtime, or just comforting company. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, their safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where dogs can relax, play, and feel at home. I follow each pet’s routine closely—from feeding and walks to medication and bedtime—to ensure a smooth, stress-free experience. I take the time to build trust with both pets and their owners, offering regular updates, photos, and open communication so you can feel confident while you’re away.

“Just the best, Qoo Chan was really happy at Daniel’s home with his two dogs. Couldn’t recommend more. Really good communication throughout and Qoo was well looked after with lots of walks.”


“It was a pleasure to have Lucy and her partner to look after our dog for the day. Right away from contacting her through to the end of the booking, she was prompt with her messages, and pictures keeping me updated. We were slightly delayed picking up our dog which Lucy was happy to accommodate. Josie came back to us looking happy and content. I would recommend her services to anyone who is happy to have her look after your dogs!”


“Really happy with the way she cared for Bean! She sent constant pictures of the good time Bean was having with Abbie and her dog! Definitely recommended and very happy to let Bean stay again with her in the future! Thank you so much!”


About: We have had our own dog for many years but lost our last boy recently. We now help with other family members dogs. We know the stress of going on holiday and leaving your pet and I can assure you that we will look after them as if they were out own. My wife and I are both retired so we have 24 hours a day to devote to a dogs care with plenty of walks and love. We are located in a quiet Cul de Sac. Our large back garden is completely enclosed and we are next to Bedford Marina or over at Chicksands woods for lovely walks.

“Tania and Sebastian were wonderful hosts for our dog Rossi. They are lovely people and took great care to help Rossi settle in. They also kept us updated with pictures and reports. We can't fault them!”


“Henry had a lovely day and overnight stay with Karolina. From moment we met and I dropped him off I could tell he would be happy and safe and well looked after. Karolina took him out for walks and sent me pictures and videos of his adventures. He got on really well with Karolina's dog Kimchee and loved pottering in the garden. He ate his food and wagged his tail so I know he was a happy boy and he is looking forward to his next stay.”


About: I have grown up with dogs and cats because of my mom being a pet groomer, therefore I have always been surrounded by animals! From a Cane-Corso to a Yorkshire Terrier or even rescues, I can adapt to your pets needs and I am a strong walker. I can feed, train, give medicine and most of all, lots of cuddles! We have three rescue Shar-Peis at home, Glasha, Roofus and Archie and I love them dearly. I am available! I graduated from the University of Brighton in August, recently moved house and I am looking for what’s next. I enjoy figuring out pet personalities because they can be quite funny. I really miss my dogs back home so would be nice to care for and accompany your pets. We have a fenced back yard, but poos and wees will 100% be out on walks. There are so many local fields and parks here and I cannot wait to show them all the p-mail spots they haven’t sniffed out yet!

“Kirsty took great care of my dog for an overnight stay, she sent lots of photos and updates which is always nice and reassuring! She has lots of experience with different dog breeds and I wouldn’t hesitate to book a stay with her again 😊”

Lynn B.
“Over that last few years, Lynn has looked after our dog on many occasions, anything from a few hours to a couple of weeks. Lynn's experience of being a dog owner of many years means that she is both knowledgeable and caring when looking after not only her own dog, but ours too. Whenever we pull up into Lynn's driveway, our dog is always desperate to get out of the car and into her house to say hello - a sure sign that he enjoys and is happy being with Lynn. On one occasion, Lynn even took our dog away on holiday with her, so that we were able to go away on holiday ourselves when we couldn't take our dog with us! Any dog staying with Lynn will be in safe hands.”

Jim G.
“Good morning, Thank you for asking for a testimonial for Jim. I can’t recommend him highly enough as a dog sitter. He has an incredible way with dogs – calm, caring, and completely devoted to their well-being. Over the years, Jim has looked after many dogs from his extended family while they have been away on holiday, and every single one has been cared for with the kind of love and attention you'd expect from a devoted owner. What truly sets him apart is the way he always puts the dogs first. I’ve known him to sleep downstairs just to be close to a dog who wasn’t feeling well, ensuring they’re comforted and monitored throughout the night. Jim’s wife, Lynne, is equally dog-loving and fully supportive of everything he does. Together, they create a warm and nurturing environment where any dog would feel safe, loved, and right at home. Anyone who entrusts their dog to Jim can do so with complete confidence. The pets won’t just be looked after – they will be cherished as one of the family.”

“Steph has an excellent understanding of animals needs and is a natural. She has groomed, walked and trained my cockerpoo and Labrador - I learned a lot from her and have been able to implement strategies to encourage positive behaviour. I would trust Steph to look after any of my pets without hesitation :-)”
