“Brin has had a great stay with Beth and her family. Brin settled in really well. He has been superbly cared for by Beth and made a new best friend in her daughter. We have been kept up to date and sent pictures, which was lovely and reassuring that he was doing ok. So glad we have found a fabulous family to care for Brin when he can't come with us. Would absolutely recommend Beth.”



“Snoop loves going to Elena she cares for all his needs and would highly recommend her. I have used her numerous times and have further bookings with her as I fully trust her with Snoop”


“Shirley built a great relationship with our dog, giving her lots of attention, taking her for long walks and even taking her to a dog agility park. She provided us with regular updates and plenty of photos and videos. I would not hesitate to recommend Shirley and we will be using her again soon.”


“Our cockerpoo Lottie had a fabulous stay over with Marnie and her lovely hubby and she came back so chilled out! This was the first time we had used Rover and we could not have picked a better sitter so beginners luck I think! We had a greet n meet beforehand to make sure we were all happy and then Lottie stayed over one night whilst we had to travel to a funeral. It was an emotional trip for me so to be able to leave our precious pooch in such caring and capable hands was a real load off my mind. Lottie was soon settled in and making herself at home and Marnie was very reassuring sending me regular updates and photos and giving her great walks and lots of cuddles. I would definately recommend Marnie as a very caring boarder and we feel confident that we have found the perfect sitter for our little dog for a future break. Finding someone you can trust and feel confident with is not always easy so It's a real bonus to find such a lovely person who obviously goes the extra mile to welcome and look after your precious pooch so I am very thankful to have found such a lovely couple first time round. Thank you Marnie it was an absolute pleasure to meet you and hope to see you again soon.”


“Such a lovely girl and did amazing at looking after my Goose. She sent updates and took him out on regular walks. I struggle to trust people with my dog but I would definitely bring Goose back to stay with Amber. He came home so happy :)”


“Catherine is amazing with our furry babies. Catherine is warm, welcoming, friendly, reliable, trustworthy, professional and transparent with everything. We had an amazing experience throughout from meet & greet, to dropping them off to picking them up, Világos & Peanut had the best time staying with them. We felt confident that Világos & Peanut are in good hands and we received regular updates and pictures which was super nice and thoughtful! We could not have left them in better hands and value the personal service that they provide! She is the best! High recommend!”


“We met Chloe prior to booking and had no hesitation that Yasmin would enjoy a stay with her. Chloe kept us well informed that Yasmin was settled and provided daily photos. We have confidence in booking Chloe to look after Yasmin for a longer stay in the future. We would recommend Chloe. Thanks Chloe Yasmin had a great stay”


About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 13, and my love for animals started even earlier when one of my first jobs was working on a farm. I enjoy getting to know all types of dogs and their unique personalities, and nothing makes me happier than spending time with them. I can’t wait to meet some new four-legged best mates! I’m currently working part time on a zero hour contract so I have many available hours to provide the best care for your pets. I have a full UK driving license so travel isn’t a problem for me either. I will be sure to carefully follow any instructions given to me to provide tailored care to your pet as I know all dogs can be different. I live in a semi detached house with a good sized back garden securely kept with walls and fences. I currently don’t have any pets as mine recently sadly passed away after 12 years, I’m ready to look after a pet again without the full commitment

“Our experience with Susan was great from start to finish. She helped us out at short notice as we had been let down. Our dog Poppy can be a bit nervous, but she took to Susan straight away, which made leaving her so much easier. She kept us updated with updates and pictures, and Poppy was calm and happy when she came home. Thank you so much. We would definitely recommend!”


About: What I offer I will be offering walking dogs from your door and I will be sitting dogs I will feed them if they need it I can put meds in if they need it. But I can’t do injections. If I look after your pet over night I will take it on night walk feed them and make sure I take some time to play and then relax on sofa in front of tv. About myself I am a loving person who loves pets like there my own. I look after big dog small dog all kinds happy to meet. Just one press away from a well look after pet. I am currently unemployed so am free all week and weekend. I am a healthy fit girl that will take them out regularly so there happy for the night day afternoon.

About: I have had dogs in the home all my life and regularly care for family pets when they are away. We finally took the plunge and welcomed our beautiful Pugapoo, Piper, 4 months ago. Piper is a bundle of fun, super loving and loyal. She loves long walks and just being in other people’s company. Piper regularly interacts with other dogs in the family and our home has children old and young who she adores. We are lucky enough to work from home so piper gets lots of attention, love and regular walks. Evenings and Weekends are all about fresh air and walking for us so you can be assured your dog will get plenty of excercise and attention. We will happily discuss your dogs needs and routine and so our best to accommodate so that they feel right at home. Happy to send regular pics and updates. Lauren & Andy We both work almost exclusively at home so we can give your dog all the attention needed and ensure the dogs toilet needs are met. We have a fenced off garden that the dogs can have access to all day, also lots of lovely open fields and walks near by.

“We couldn't have wished for a better boarder than Chris, who did everything to make sure our Jack Russell Cross settled in quickly for her 2 week stay. Daily updates from Chris showed us she was relaxdd and having such a good time. Chris knows dogs so well, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him.”


“Mark & Natalie were excellent hosts. It was the first time we’ve left our puppy and after arriving 15minutes early to allow her to settle in, I was fully reassured that she was in safe hands. Mark & Natalie were brill at sending us pupdates too throughout our stay, which was really comforting! Will definitely be booking Piper in here again 😊”


“Chloe was great! As soon as she opened the door, I knew my dog would be in safe hands. She kept in touch with me for the full stay - keeping me updated and sending me pictures. She treated my dog as though she was her own dog - Even gave her a bath! My dog came home very tired - which is always a good sign! Our new favourite sitter and will definitely be using again if we are welcome. Thankyou so much 😊xx”
