“Ellen is flexible, reliable, helpful and just a lovely person with both people and dogs. Our dog took to her very quickly and very positively, she was happy to go to Ellen for attention and was clearly very settled and comfortable with her. We will definitely use her again to look after our dog and I highly recommend her.”


About: I have 2 dogs of my own and have been looking after a number of dogs while their owners are away for a number of years. I am currently a stay at home mother - although my youngest child is now 13. Looking to earn a bit of extra money over the summer without having to leave my own two pups I have a large fully fenced back garden a very large kitchen and two spare bedrooms allowing plenty of space for your pet to enjoy and a quiet space if they need it. I have pet first aid training.

“We have used Rebeccas service twice now and she is fantastic, she took great care of both my dogs and they returned home very happy and tired after a long day of cuddles and playing. Rebecca took them for 2 long walks and sent pictures of them out enjoying the fields and woods with her dog. On both occasions I received lots of photos of my dogs so I was aware they were happy and safe. We will definitely use Rebeccas service again!”


“It was my first time leaving Rolo with someone and I couldn’t be more comfortable doing it 🩷 Montana was super nice sending me extra updates while he was having fun with Bailey. We’re definitely doing it again! I can tell that my puppy had so much fun over there that he came exhausted 😂 and slept right after we arrived at home. 🏠 Thank you very much, Montana and Bailey! Xx”


“Great place for a doggy to go to day care. We had our puppy there for the week during the day as we had some work done on the house, and he loved it. He was excited to go back each day and must have been playing hard as he came home and slept! Would recommend and we are planning to use again when necessary!”


“5⭐️, recommend. Bethany is an excellent and professional dog walker. We appreciate her flexibility, prompt and clear communication, and her overall attentiveness to our dog. We could not be more pleased with her work and would be happy to recommend her services to our family and friends”


“Rachael was great with our dog Leo! She is very accommodating and was able to fit Leo in last minute which was much appreciated. She took very good care of him and he was a happy boy coming home afterwards. She kept us updated and put our minds at ease whilst we were out at work. Would definitely book her in again!”


“Hello, Heather is a kind animal lover, Dotty took to Heather and Olly.Hearher sent me updates which was reassuring also pictures. Dotty made herself at home, I highly recommend Heather and will be booking again soon. Thank you Heather and Olly. Al xx”


“Great family environment where our dog really enjoyed himself. He had friends to play with and received lots of affection. We were also kept updated about how he was getting along with pictures and videos throughout the day. If we're in the area again, we'll definitely be back.”


“We had a fantastic experience with Charlotte looking after our puppy, Coogee. She was incredibly friendly, caring, and made us feel at ease leaving him in her care. Coogee had a great time playing with her lovely dog, Luna, and it was clear from the photos and updates that he enjoyed himself, especially on their long walk together. Charlotte's kindness and attentiveness really showed, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommended!”


About: I’ve had dogs and other pets my whole life and 4 years ago I adopted a scared rescue from abroad who has now became a part of our family, along with our two other rescued cats ☺️ I work part-time from home and therefore, I can take dogs for walks during my breaks at the local nature reserve which is very close to home, I can also frequently let them out into the garden and play with them. I have a fenced yard and a playful 5 year old dog who can keep other dogs company. I also have 3 dog loving teenagers who are always willing to help out. I also live near many rural green spots - perfect for outdoor activity ☺️☺️

About: I grew up with dogs, and have a sweet, energetic and friendly young dog now. We regularly have play dates and every day we have long off lead walks on the fields or in the forest. We also have three big parks just a few minutes away, so we go out to play with other doggies and chase balls. I offer 2 long over an hour walks a day, plus a tonnes of playtime at home, so perfect for energetic doggies. If your pooch however needs less exercise, no problem, just let me know. I work from home Monday to Friday. Our walks: Mornings: we go for a walk for about 60 minutes before work. Off lead on the fields and forest to burn off energy. Lunch time: 20 minutes run and play in the park. (Weather and work dependent) Evening: another longer, about 60 minutes or longer walk or play in the park. During winter months when it gets dark fast, we go on a road walk on lead. If your dog need less exercise, we can skip one or two of the walks. I’m flexible. During the day, while I’m working, your dog can chill in the daybed next to me, or play with my dog. In the evening after walk and dinner we chill together in the living room. Having a young dog myself, I know how precious they are, and well aware not to leave anything harmful within reach. Safety is #1. Your dog will feel home away from home. I’ve looked after a few guest doggies already, and they all were very happy and loved being with us. They all became returning customers. I also send you daily updates, pictures and videos for your piece of mind.

“I really felt comfortable leaving my pup with Michael and she was well looked after and seems very behaved and socialised with other dogs. Michael is also a dog trainer which made my booking even more relaxed while I left my pup there. I am definitely going to use him again. Thanks”

Megan M.
“My boy Jasper really loves going to his aunty Megan’s for holidays (and days out). His tail wags when we pull up, no backward glance as he trots off to play with his besties, Albie and teddy! It is a huge relief to have found a real ‘home from home’ for my very spoiled chap! He can sleep on the bed with Megan ( he has never slept alone) and I know he is having a happy time when I am away. He also eats all his dinners up when Albie and teddy are getting fed at same time, as opposed to sniffing and looking disappointed, like he does at home! Snuggle pups has made my holidays and long days out much happier time for both of us!”
