“One of the best sitters I have ever dealt with! All I can is to recommend her if you want a peaceful holiday knowing your little loved animal is in good hands . She sends pictures and keeps you updated ! Thank you Emma for taking care of Lily 🤗”

“Richard was a great host to Treacle, looking after him as one of his own for five days at short notice whilst my partner was in hospital. He was a star, sent plenty of updates and picked Treacle up and dropped him off as I don't have a car. Thank you Richard, you made a difficult week so much easier.”


“This is the first time we have left our dog so we were anxious about it but Mike was very welcoming and reassuring. He sent us daily updates with photos, our dog Hudson went on lots of long walks. We will definitely rebook.”

“Rocco stayed over last night, he absolutely loves staying with iwonda, always happy to see her, and I always get updates on how he is and I get pictures sent to me has well so glad I found her knowing he is in good hands and is loved”

“Rafa had the most amazing time with Karen and Trevor. It was hard for me to leave him-but I really didn’t need to worry, he had a fabulous time! We were both made very welcome and the updates from Karen ensured I could see how relaxed Rafa was in their care. He was soon snuggled on sofa and being spoilt, he’s had a lovely long walk and was collected by me a tired, happy boy. Karen and Trevor are lovely people who really showed Rafa genuine love and affection, I would not hesitate to use them again! Thank you for taking such good care of my boy. ❤️”

“Bruna and family were so great with Cosmo! I got regular updates and videos which made me feel really reassured. He came home after such an active day a very happy chap. Highly recommend, so flexible and would 100% send Cosmo there again. Thank-you so much!”

“Absolutely thrilled that ive found Janet to have Ted for me! I was more than happy with how welcoming she was and made me feel very at ease. She obviously loves being a boarder! Ted had so many lovely walks and came back tired out and happy! Thanks Janet!”

“An amazing sitter. My dog didn't want to come home he was treated so well! It can be difficult finding a sitter who accepts larger dogs and has the suitable environment for them but Katie's house and family were perfect for my GSD Boscoe.. He'd never stayed with any other people apart from ourselves and whilst he was nervous the first few nights, Katie and her family made him feel welcome and he settled really well thanks to them and enjoyed his 17 day stay. Highly, highly recommend Katie as a sitter.”

“Fantastic experience, this was my first time leaving my fur baby with anyone outside of family, I was extremely nervous. However Angela turned out to be the best choice for Miko, she kept me up to date daily - at my request, she sent pics and video’s of Miko throughout the week with his daily walks and adventures- He had a great time and I couldn’t recommend her highly enough. 5*+”


“I was initially very worried as this is my first time leaving my kitten alone! Wai Han was very lovely to meet in person! She really rested my mind and was sending my pictures and videos all the time! My kitten had so much fun with hers! When she dropped off my little kitten I can tell she was still herself and happy! She came back like she never left! I would definitely go back to Wai Han and do recommend her to everyone!”


“Kwan and her family took wonderful care of Bailey for 3 days! They kept us updated with lots of photos and feedback, and Bailey settled into the environment very quickly. Everything was very clean and well cared for, they were also very thoughtful and accommodating throughout the stay, and we had absolutely no concerns while Bailey stayed with her. We’d definitely ask for Kwan’s help again in the future!”

“Claudia was amazing with little Hugo on his trial night - received lots of photo updates and he’s come home very content and happy! Thank you so much, will be booking many more stays! Robert & Hugo x”

“Nicola and Rebecca were absolutely great hosts for our little Lenny. He is only a pup so we were very nervous about leaving him for the first time. They kept in constant contact with photos and updates which kept our mind at ease and showed us how much fun Lenny was having but importantly how well looked after he was. Thanks again Nicola and Rebecca, Lenny had a great time.”

“As a dog owner who's never used a boarder before, Amy was an absolute dream to have come across. She was great communicating and my dog absolutely loved her. He had the best time and I felt so confident leaving him with her. Thank you and will absolutely be back in touch when I next need to 😊”


“Our dog was so contented when we came to collect her, she would happily have stayed with Keith. The photos he sent of our dog reassured us she was in good hands, while we were away. Keith is a kind and considerate gentleman, whose home is immaculate. We will make sure he is the first person we contact next time we need a safe and loving home for our dog to go to.”

Angela is amazing, I wouldn't trust anyone else with my baby nothing is too much trouble and trust me my baby is a hand full sometimes but my boy diesel loves Angela to bits and I know 100% i will never have to worry when he's there, the updates and photos were amazing it was like my boy went on holiday and got spoiled. Thank you hun and he will definitely be coming back xxx

Amber loved her stay with Patricia. Our dog can be very nervous so the warm, friendly and calm welcome she received was very welcome. Patricia kept us up to date with photos and messages which was re-assuring. She also had plenty of walks so we would recomend this sitter.

Ross is an amazing dog sitter! Fast to reply to messages, invited me and Peppa over for a meet and greet before making a booking, and has a lovely home and family too. When I dropped Peppa off for her first overnight stay she settled in immediately and was clearly made to feel at home. Ross sent me loads of pics, and took Peppa on a long walk, which she loved. I couldn't have asked for more. Pretty sure Peppa agreed given she wasn't in a rush to leave when I arrived to collect her! Thanks very much.

Thanks so much to Janet and Kevan for looking after Charlie in their home for 8 nights. Their care of him was outstanding! He had a day trip to Howarth and a ride on a steam train, a visit to the seaside so he could have a run and the beach and many long local walks. It was brilliant to see the photos and videos Janet sent us of Charlie thoroughly enjoying himself while we were on holiday. We will definitely be booking again. Thanks Amanda and Andy

Jessica and Chances were amazing with Mehlu! Before confirming the booking, we had a meet & greet, and they asked lots of questions about her daily routine and personality, which really showed how thoughtful and attentive they are. Jessica also kept us very well updated with lots of photos and messages, which really put our minds at ease. Mehlu looked so happy and relaxed – clearly enjoying all the attention and cuddles 😂 You can tell they genuinely love dogs, and we felt completely comfortable leaving her with them. Highly recommended – we would definitely book again! 😊🐶

Denielle and her boyfriend looked after our Frenchie, Lola for a weekend while we got married (we wanted her there but she is far too excitable around lots of people). They were absolutely amazing with her, they suggested a home visit before the stay so that she could have a wonder around and make sure she was comfortable there. They kept us updated with how she was and sent us pictures from on her walks. Lola had a fantastic time there and was treated as if she was their own family pet. We would highly recommend booking with Denielle and we will certainly be booking with them again next time we need a dog sitter.

Our little girl loved Vicky and she is very choosy on who she likes!,🐕😊. Vicky took fabulous care of her,sending us lots of photos clearly showing Pip was having a fun time!.In fact she looked so at home I wondered of she wanted to stay!😊Highly recommend Vicky. She clearly loves dogs and enjoys looking after them! Will definitely always try to book Vicky again to look after our girl!
