“My springer Maisie had a great day with Helen and her lovely dog Rhubarb. Helen was very careful to check all Maisie's needs when setting up day care and she made sure Maisie got walks / stimulation and rest times throughout the day. Would highly recommend.”
“Fiona looked after our boy as an introduction day for Finty spending the weekend with her. Fiona was excellent with communication and very efficient in understanding as much as she could about him. She was loving and considerate and Finty had a great day with her. We feel very reassured going away for the weekend and leaving Finty in her care”
“Sarah is absolutely incredible at looking after Cinnamon Bun, even with the food obsession and a bit of separation anxiety! CB really loves her and has a great time whenever she spends the day 😊”
“We left our cockapoo Archie who suffers from separation anxiety with Samuel and his lovely dog Toby for a few hours. Our dog was a bit reactive at first but Samuel remained calm and allowed Archie to settle into his new environment and was very accommodating of his needs. He also kept us well updated which was appreciated. We wouldn’t hesitate on sending Archie back here again. Thank you Samuel and Toby!”
“Kathryn was absolutely brilliant from start to finish. Super friendly and you can just tell how much she loves dogs. Our boy Indie had a great time and her Goldie Dolly is an absolute sweetheart too. Kathryn provided us with regular updates and photos which was reassuring as it was our boy Indies first time (at the ripe old age of 10) going to doggy day care. Couldn't recommend Kathryn enough. Absolute superstar”
“This was my first time leaving my little dog, I was so nervous but Emma sent me updates and my dog was so happy and content with Emma and Chris I will definitely be using them again 😃😃”
“Finding a reliable and trustworthy pet sitter was crucial for me. 🐾 Luckily, I stumbled upon Sarah and I couldn't be happier with their assistance! 🙌 Not only do they take amazing care of my fur baby, but they also send me adorable photo updates throughout the day. 📸 It's such a relief to know my Luca🧸 in good hands while I'm away. ❤️ If you're in need of a pet sitter, I highly recommend Sarah without a second thought. Trust me, your furry friends will thank you! Luca love you Sarah♥️”
“Puca had a great day with Lisa! He had a walk up the towpath, playing with his ball in her garden and a snooze on the couch. He was in great from when I picked him up and is now back at home fast asleep - must have been a fun day!”
“We were nervous about leaving Missy for the first time but we had nothing to worry about, she looks like she had a great time and spoiled!lol Thanks so much Isla she will definitely be back x”
“Aidan is absolutely lovely with dogs and very knowledgable, I would highly recommend him. My very lively Springer Spaniel had a great time with Aidan including big walks and she was cuddling him on the settee when I went to collect her.”
“Anna and her partner were really great with Eddie. He can be quite nervous but they were very understanding of his needs and had lots of toys to help him settle in and have a great time at their house! Really lovely people and I would definitely book them again and recommend them to others :)”
About: I’ve looked after a lot of different dogs (mostly for family and friends) over the years, and also have had cats and dogs of my own. I love animals and enjoy looking after and spoiling them. I’m very flexible with different routines and temperaments, and have experience looking after anxious dogs, including my own rescue in the past. I’m currently working part time on the weekends (usually 10am-4pm) and am in university during the academic year (I’m usually only ever occupied by uni until 1pm during the week). I live with my parents and my younger brother so there’s usually someone at home if I’m at work. I have a fenced garden in a quiet, animal-friendly area. I also live near multiple dog-friendly parks. I have an antisocial but otherwise friendly outdoor cat who will happily stay out of the way of any new animals in the house. My household is relatively quiet and has lots of room to roam around or play.
“Matthew provided excellent care for my puppy Dexter 🐶 I was kept regularly updated with how Dexter was getting on, and he had a great time! I would highly recommend Matthew to anyone needing care for their dogs (and also his brother Darryl who helped Matthew on one of the days).”
About: Dogs aren't just a hobby for me—they’ve been a massive part of my life for as long as I can remember. Having owned and cared for a wide variety of dogs over the years, I am deeply familiar with the different temperaments and needs that come with various breeds and sizes. Since I work from home, my schedule is naturally very dog-friendly. I find that having a four-legged companion around makes the workday much better! My typical routine includes a morning walk to get the day started, which helps keep dogs relaxed while I’m at my desk. Because I’m here all day, your dog will have constant company and the opportunity for 'toilet breaks' in the garden whenever they need them. I always head out for an afternoon stroll and I'm happy to include a third evening walk if your dog is high-energy or just loves being outdoors. Since I’m experienced of dogs of all sizes—from small lap dogs to much larger breeds—I’m very used to adapting the pace and distance to suit their specific energy levels. In short: your pet won't be tucked away in a corner; they’ll be a part of my daily life, getting plenty of attention, supervised play, and as many walks as they need to stay happy. Your pet's safety is my absolute priority. I understand how much trust it takes to leave a family member in someone else's care, which is why I’ve ensured my home is a secure and welcoming environment. Secure Outdoor Space: I have both front and back gardens that are a good size and, most importantly, fully fenced and secure. This allows for plenty of supervised 'zoomies,' outdoor play, or just a quiet sniff around in a safe area throughout the day between our scheduled walks.

Helen is absolutely amazing and had a lovely manner with our puppy. Unfortunately it didn't work out due to other reasons but would highly recommend to others. I got loads of pictures and updates and safe to say my pip was absolutely exhausted when we brought her home.
Caitlin is totally brilliant. She is such a caring person and just loved having Charles. I was visiting Belfast for a conference and needed daytime care. Nervous Charles relaxed straight away in her home, enjoying playing with toys or just being chilled out. He was relaxed because Caitlin is so warm and friendly, a complete natural with dogs. She was great at keeping me updated, providing many photos of Charles, and I even got a vido too. We were frequently in touch about logistics and she is so helpful, even giving tips for the visitor to the city. I found it really easy to get to and from the town centre where the conference was and it all the handovers were handled efficiently. Nervous doggie-dad was reassured! Charles loved it and I even thought he wanted to stay longer. I very much recommend Caitlin and only wish is that I could have her look after Charles again soon. It will have to wait for my next visit to Belfast. Thank you, Caitlin!
Kathryn was absolutely brilliant from start to finish. Super friendly and you can just tell how much she loves dogs. Our boy Indie had a great time and her Goldie Dolly is an absolute sweetheart too. Kathryn provided us with regular updates and photos which was reassuring as it was our boy Indies first time (at the ripe old age of 10) going to doggy day care. Couldn't recommend Kathryn enough. Absolute superstar
My partner and I were visiting Belfast for the day and needed a one-off daycare sitter for our dog, Max. Lisa was absolutely lovely and very welcoming from the moment we arrived. Her place was easy to find and she has a fully enclosed garden, which gave us great peace of mind. Most importantly, Max had a fantastic time! Lisa is very much a dog person and was comfortable with Max’s big bark. We’d definitely recommend Lisa to anyone looking for a caring dog sitter.
We have had such a fantastic experience with Beth and Aisling. Our pup Mac was only 4 months old when we first contacted Beth and Aisling. We were invited to a meet and greet and we instantly felt welcomed by them. Mac has had 2 full days (into the evening) with Beth and Aisling which we required for family events. They have taken such great care of Mac and I would highly recommend them!
I honestly can’t recommend this dog daycare enough! Mylo is a very anxious little dog and usually hates being away from me, so I’m always nervous leaving him anywhere. But from the moment he arrived, he completely surprised me - he bonded straight away and was so settled and comfortable. It really felt like a true home from home. When I picked him up, I could instantly tell he’d had a great day, he was happy, calm, well-rested, and clearly had some nice walks too! I’ll definitely be booking again, thank you so much for making this such a positive experience for both of us 💛
Mac's first time in doggy day care and I was a little nervous. Daisy was absolutely marvellous, Mac was always so excited when he saw Daisy. She sent daily updates and took him on several adventures. Cannot fault Daisy in any way, would not hesitate to leave Mac with her again.
Ronan has taken amazing care of our very active puppy Grace. She is always delighted to see Ronan and comes home happy, exercised but not exhausted. She has terrorized every other person who has watched her, no matter their experience with dogs. Thank you Ronan for being so good with our wee Grace!
Dave was a super dog sitter - Max was really well looked after. Dave was attentive and made sure he knew everything about Maxs needs to make sure he was 💯 settled. Dave was very warm and friendly too! Dave sent lots of photos so we could see how content was. Highly recommend Dave!! Thanks
My Marlo is very timid and a nervous dog. However meeting Nicola she made him feel at ease and us too! She wanted pet names and routine to help her connect to Marlo. We left him a few hours and we received pictures and messages to ease our mind. Marlo looked content. Looking forward to next week so Marlo can connect more with Nicola Tysm ❤️ xxx
Huge thank you to Niall for watching Maya today. It’s not always easy finding someone comfortable with a large breed, but they handled my dog with such ease and confidence. I received several photos during the day and Niall was very quick to reply when I messaged which really put my mind at ease. Maya came home happy and content and I’m sure would love to go back and spend some more time with Niall and Nelly!
