“Julie had our pup Hugo for a long weekend, and he came back so happy and relaxed. She kept us updated with wonderful photos and notes about what he had been up to that made us feel so comfortable and put our minds at ease. Hugo enjoyed long walks and exciting excursions and it was evident that he was genuinely comfortable with Julie and her family. We're thrilled with the care and attention Julie provided and can't wait to use her services again in the future. Hugo had a pawsitively wonderful time thanks to Julie!”

“My dog Kara can be very shy and timid at new places, but it seemed like she had no problem settling in and making friends. Holly was incredibly sweet and caring and the environment was very cozy and relaxed. She was also very accommodating to me and my schedule which was great. I would absolutely book with her again.”

About: I first became a "dog Mum" 15 years ago to our Westie, Elland, who sadly we lost recently. I sadly was that annoying "Dog Mum" who had pictures of her on my desk and booked holiday for her birthday each year. I took voluntary redundancy nearly 6 years ago so have been fortunate to spend quality time at home with her and take her out and about on our own or with her other doggy friends. Unfortunately she lost her hearing about 3 years ago so learnt quickly how to communicate with her with some basic sign language. She also developed dry eye disease so I had to administer drops 5 times each day. Two of these were determined by time so I had to ensure I was available to give her these on time. The last 5 months of her life, her arthritis worsened so I bought a buggy to help her whilst out for daily walks/sniffs. I have also looked after family dogs whilst they have been on holiday and have accomodated raw feeding for one of family dogs. I live with my husband in a bungalow. He still works but is here in the evenings and at weekends. I work during examination periods at a local college but can accomodate pet sitting around this as dates are known well in advance. My contract with the college is ona casual basis so dog sitting will be my priority. We have used a local dog sitter who stayed in our home when we went on holiday. I therefore understand the importance of providing important information to the pet sitter when leaving the pet. When I first stopped working I volunteered for a local hospice helping support a family who used their services, by walking their dog on a weekly basis to give them some respite and also encourage the dog to socilise. I did this for 12 months. I also volunteered at Wood Green Animal Charity during Covid restrictions. Although I was there to help in the fundraising office, we often had dogs who weren't settling in kennels, come and sit with us in the office for the day. Some were quite withdrawn so I learnt how to slowly gain their trust. I am retired so home all day. My husband works full time but is home in the evenings and at weekends. I do some casual exam invigilating but I know dates for this in advance so will not take on any work if pet sitting is booked. I am happy to be led by the owners on when and what activity their dog (s) are used to so am pretty flexible. I have acess to my own car so can take the dog to any appointments if required. I have a fully fenced in garden (6ft) I live in a village with lots of access to quiet walks in the countryside if required, as well as walks within the village itself. I am happy to book out local secure dog fields if agreed with the owner but this will involve driving to nearby fields. As previously mentioned we live in a bungalow so no stairs. We are based in a quiet cul-de-sac so if your dog is reactive to traffic, should not be a problm here. I have space for a medium size crate if required.

“Wade and Michelle took amazing care of our very nervous and quite high maintenance dog, Cookie. They very kindly met Cookie in advance, and during the stay sent regular updates and photos of them on walks and snuggling on the sofa. They are a lovely family and we will be using them again.”

“Holly had a wonderful stay with Sasha this week! Sasha was lovely, and came to meet us in advance so we would all know who we were trusting with Holly. During her stay, Sasha sent photos of Holly nearly every day - these reassured us that Holly had settled in and was having a good time. I'd give Sasha more than 5 stars if I could, and we will definitely look to book her again next time we need a dog sitter.”

Kim T.

“We have left Barney with Laura 3-4 times. He is always excited to go to her and seems to have great time. As long as Laura is happy to have him, we will be very happy to keep using her.”

Steve M.

“Reggie had a wonderful few days with Mat & his family, Mats communication was excellent, I received daily photos of what Reg was up to. I would highly recommend this accommodating family to anyone. Thanks again to Mat & his family for looking after our fur baby, I will keep hold of your details for the next time I need a dog sitter”

“This was the 1st time I'd had to leave my dog with anyone other than family so I was nervous how he would be - I needn't have been as he had a great time!!! Sharon sent regular photos and updates, the 1st one being shortly after I'd dropped him off ( it was very reassuring to see he wasn't fretting that we'd left him). I think Vinnie was reluctant to leave the spacious gardens and paddock behind when we picked him up! I would 100% recommend Sharon 😊”

About: Having either coveted or owned pets since childhood, and recently experienced my daughter hosting dogs in our family home before flying the nest on her next big adventure, I’ve decided to take over the family business. Yes, I know inheritance does not usually work this way but, hey, hosting your fur balls has been such a joy, and I have such a perfect space here, why not? Familiar with separation anxiety, medication administration, and all that comes with family pets. Very fond of long walks. Well aware from personal experience how daunting it can be to leave your pets in someone else’s care, and totally committed to ensuring their comfort and safety. Rest assured your pets will be well cared for - and lots of cute photos and updates will be sent. I’m self employed and work from home. My dog, Mo, and cat Gem, are well socialised and happy to accept well behaved comrades into their space. I have a big, secure fenced garden with lots of room to run around, and a comfortable living space where pets are welcome, including on the sofas. I’m respectful of other people’s needs and spaces, whether I’m visiting your home, or your pets are visiting mine, I’ll make sure their - and your - needs are met. Expect lots of photos - and possibly a short story, or poem from your pet.

“Aimee was a great sitter for our dog! She played with her and took her on walks in the day and the evening. She sent us photos of our dog throughout the day. Aimee was flexible with our pickup time which was so helpful.”

“Our dog had such a lovely time, she may have had a better time on her little holiday than we did! :) We received plenty of updates and pictures, and knew she was well looked after the entire time.”

“Beatrice looked after Bonnie (our dog) brilliantly and sent us regular photo updates. It was Bonnie's first time being left with someone she didn't know, which made us anxious, but we needn't have worried. We would definitely use her again.”

Peter R.

“Monty had a WONDERFUL stay with Caroline and Steph!! She sent photos and videos every day so we could see he was happy and loved whilst with them. We also had a late return and they were very accommodating with that, which was very kind. To top it all off, Monty has come back super well behaved - it’s amazing! No more jumping and he’s been so relaxed and good as gold which only confirms how well cared he was. We won’t hesitate in leaving him with Caroline again. Thank you both for loving our baby as one of yours!”

“Annalise was fantastic to communicate with before during and at the end of our dogs stay. We were at ease knowing our dog was in great care! Will reserve a stay again with Annalise.”

“Bentley had a great stay, Philip kept us updated regularly so always felt relaxed that he was ok and settled. Bentley had plenty of exercise with long walks and a trip to the dog park. Would definitely recommend and use again. Many thanks”

“Sonny & Luna our sproker spaniels had a lovely 1 night stay with William and his wife. From arrival Sonny & Luna were able to go searching and sniffing freely in the large garden and house. Sonny quickly found the toy box and played one of his favourite games of emptying it one toy at a time and hiding them around the garden. They were taken on walks and we had videos and photos sent to us regularly over the 24 hours. Thank you William, I would definately recommend and confidently use you again to care for my spaniels”

Jackie P.

“Jan & Bruce are brilliant, very caring and made sure my dog Ted was happy and safe. He had a lovely time with them, lots of walks and games in their garden, and snoozing on the sofa. Great communication and updates on how Ted was - we will definitely be back to see them again soon! Thanks J&B!”
