“Richard did a fantastic job looking after my dog, Loki, for the night. He followed all my instructions perfectly and kept me updated with photos which gave me great peace of mind. Loki was happy and well cared for and enjoyed being with Richards dogs. I would definitely recommend him and his wife to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter and will be using Richard again.”

“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. ❤️”


“Eric loved his stay. We were kept updated with messages and videos throughout his stay. Eric would usually go to kennels however, a break with a dog living family much better suits him. We wouldn’t hesitate to letting him go back. Thank you so much”

“Rocko stayed with Janet & Kevan for two days recently while we were away. He was extremely well looked after, was taken for numerous long walks & made a doggy friend while he was there. Janet sent us lots of photos to keep us updated and he also came back very clean & soft! I will definitely send Rocko here every time that we need a sitter ? Highly recommended”


“Michael was brilliant, and the best care I've had for my dog yet! He and his family truly love dogs and that is reflected in the care they provided. Communication before and during the stay was brilliant and I could tell on pick up how comfortable my dog was with them. I would book again in a heartbeat!”

“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 felt so confident leaving my dog Maxi with Karl. I immediately felt assured that Maxi was with the right person while I was away. Maxi had a great time. I was kept updated with videos and photos when away. I can't recommend Karl enough and will certainly be using his services again. Thanks so much Karl 😁”


“I could not recommend Shaun and his family enough. They truly are the perfect family to trust your dog with. We have never left our Shar Pei with anyone other than family before and yet Shaun and his family really put Bruno first. They went above and beyond when looking after Bruno and communication was excellent and reassuring. I truly cannot speak any higher of them or recommend them enough. I will definitely use them again”


“Wai Han was an amazing cat sitter for my cat, Barfee, during a very stressful time. She was incredibly lovely and professional, sent me adorable photos and videos throughout the day, and even let her own cat keep Barfee company. Her kindness and care gave me real peace of mind. I couldn’t have asked for better. Highly recommended!”

“Cooper absolutely loved his stay with Remy and Alan, and was treated like part of the family whilst he was there. I wouldn’t hesitate in leaving him with them again when we go on holiday, thank you for taking such good care of him and providing us with lots of updates and photos!”

“Karen was lovely and approachable, you can tell she's very experienced with dogs, which was reassuring. Ellie had a great stay, we got plenty of pics and videos which was great. Thanks!”

“Reggie absolutely loved his stay with Alice !! She was very reassuring and understanding about Reggie’s behaviours etc. she sent pictures throughout the day and kept us updated !! Have already booked again 🤍 10/10 would recommend”

“Highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Claudia looked after both of my fur babies whilst I went away, the first time for both Snookie and Tink staying at a dog boarders, as I normally have family who take care of them. With this being unfamiliar, I was so nervous, full of worry wondering how they would settle. However instantly they made themselves at home, and Claudia made sure to update me not long after I dropped them off. She really put my mind at ease, keeping me updated everyday with videos and pictures, Which made my holiday much more enjoyable, as I knew they was happy, having there own little holiday and lots of snuddles too. Thankyou so much for such a pleasant experience! Your star 💫 Snookie & Tinkerbell will 100% be back.”

“This is Kittys second home, she is so well looked after and enjoys being treated as part of the family. We feel so confident and comfortable going away knowing she is in such good hands. Absolutely first class in every way.”

“Lauren and Jordan were amazing hosts for Ziggy whilst I was away for a few days. They sent regular updates and he looked like he loved his time with them. Would 100% recommend and use again.”

I’m absolutely over the moon with how amazingly Angie took care of my elderly dog, Jerry, whilst I’ve been away. It’s like he’s been on holiday himself. I would 100% recommend booking if you’re looking for someone who will love your dog like their own and keep you updated along the way.

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.
