“Excellent and exceeded my expectations! Sophie was a great company to Bella, kept me updated 24/7 and definitely put my mind to ease as it was the first time in 12 years when Bella wasn't iny company. I have only good words to describe the experience! Highly recommend!!!!”
“This is Floyd's second visit with Edward, when we knocked the door Floyd was so excited to go in. It is so reassuring to see your dog happy to be left. Thanks again Edward, Floyd will definitely be back ;0))))”
“Lucinda was amazing with Rex, took him for walks even in the rain. He seems to have had an amazing holiday. It was his first time staying overnight at a different place and Lucinda made sure he was happy and felt safe. We arranged a meet up before the date and has kept me informed about what Rex has been up to and how he was. I will be booking Lucinda again in the future. Thank you so much”
“Well what can I say, Bonnie lived her best life staying with Wan Jeong, what a kind, sweet soul. She was so good with Bonnie, spending lots of time with her and taking her out to run around in the open. We had daily updates and lots of lovely pictures which meant we had no worries whilst we were away as we knew she was getting the best care being well looked after. We could tell Bonnie was very settled and happy. We will definitely leave her with this lovely lady again. Thank you again for taking such good care of our lovely Bonnie x”
“Honestly wouldn’t trust anyone else with Albus! Marie is so kind and amazing with him, we always get photo updates of what he’s been up to each day and it makes us feel so happy knowing he’s so well cared for while we’re away. 5 stars always!”
“Bodie had a fabulous time with Lisa Jake & Huxley. Lots of good walks, often with other dogs, which she loves. I got regular "Pup-dates" showing a totally carefree dog. I would highly recommend Lisa to anyone wanting peace of mind when leaving their pet.”
“Just picked up Lola after a 5 day stay with Natalia. This was her second stay and again she was a very happy girl. She had 3 walks a day and loved to play ball. Natalia kept us updated and frequently sent pictures that were very reassuring. Next time Lola will have a longer stay. Highly recommended.”
“Jelena was absolutely marvelous!! She has a natural affinity with dogs and Lola had a lovely stay. She had lots of exercise and was very well looked after. Every day we received pictures of our happy girl having a wonderful time. Thanks again Jelena and see you next time!”
“Annabel kept us updated on how our dog was doing, they took good care of our dog, provided pictures and were very accommodating, we were running late for the dog pick up but Annabel reassured us that it was fine and had no issues with taking care of our dog for a short while longer.”
“Elisa and her lovely family are fantastic! Lulu loves staying with them all and gets thoroughly spoilt with lots of walks and cuddles. We have absolute peace of mind when Elisa looks after Lulu.”
“Otis came to stay with hannah and her boys for the weekend and loved it! Lots of videos and pictures to offer assurance and excellent communication. Looking forward to his next stay!”
“I was looking for a place where my spaniel would feel as if she was at a home from home I had to leave her for a night over the Christmas holiday period. Lizzie and her family fitted the brief perfectly; they were welcoming and relaxed and immediately made me feel that Molly would be fine with them. Lizzie sent me pictures of how she was settling in over the period and set my mind at ease. I wouldn't hesitate in using Lizzie again, or recommending her to anyone I know who has a dog and needs a trustworthy sitter.”
“Kayleigh was absolutely fantastic with Wes, our rescue greyhound. It was the second time he stayed with Kayleigh and it was obvious from the pictures she sent that he had an absolute blast and felt extremely comfortable in her care. We had consistent updates from Kayleigh and felt we could completely trust her with Wes, even though we don't often leave him and he's getting on in years. I would not hesitate to reccomend Kayleigh to anyone who is looking for a dog sitter.”
“Rebecca was brilliant. Communication from start to finish was excellent. Winnie was well looked after and had a great time. We received updates which was really appreciated and our trip away was better knowing Winnie was being looked after so well.”
“My dog, Rocket needed some last minute boarding as our usual sitter was unavailability. Sarah is definitely a great find. Welcoming, flexible, good communication, dog lover and a dog painter. Rocket loved his stay... Highly recommended! Thanks, Sarah!”

our Canela and Cocco became good friends that even nap together. Really enjoy all the updates (pictures and videos) of our girl as we can see a different side to her while in a home away from our home. :) She is always well looked after and happy and I always have peace of mind when she is looked after by Andrea and Supriya. Thank you so much for always being reliable and also for the last minute flexibility. Really appreciate it.
Lucinda was amazing....my older dog, Mutley thoroughly enjoyed his stay over a very warm Bank holiday weekend. Lucinda sent lots of updates and photos of Mutley, keeping him cool and entertained. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing a home from home for their fur baby while away. Sam x
Our pup Maggie had the best time with Rebecca and her family. We found her last minute after being cancelled on as Maggie came into season - Rebecca has two lovely lab bitches of her own so took Maggie in for the weekend, for runs and swims in her lovely village location. Lots of pics and videos shared all weekend - would definitely book again!
Annabel kept us updated on how our dog was doing, they took good care of our dog, provided pictures and were very accommodating, we were running late for the dog pick up but Annabel reassured us that it was fine and had no issues with taking care of our dog for a short while longer.
I can’t praise enough how amazing and wonderful Marie is with our amazing little man Marlow. Marie is every dog owners dream and when you drive away when dropping him off and he doesn’t look back then you know he’s happy. Marie has looked after Marlow for four years and we have actually cancelled holidays if Marie is not available. Thats says it all Thank you Marie
Sangeeta is great! Very kind, responsive, and welcoming. We had a meet and greet before booking the stay, which was lovely since the pups were familiar with her and her house when it came time for their vacation. We received lots of pictures and videos and could tell our babies were well taken care of while we are gone. Would definitely book again.
I can't thank Peter enough for looking after our Freddie so well. Freddie was very happy and content with Peter and Mitzi. Peter sent regular videos and updates which was so kind and thoughtful. I would have no hesitation in booking Peter again to look after Freddie. Huge thanks again Peter! Xx
Yet again, another wonderful stay with Monica and her family. From the moment Ottie approaches Monica's house her tail is wagging and she can't wait to get in and see everyone again. Monica is brilliant. Ottie has fun with games, children to play with and love and attention. We have been so very lucky to find such a fantastic person to take care of Ottie. Obviously, we HIGHLY recommend Monica
Rachel helped us at very short notice as we needed a sitter for a one off occasion. Rachel was very prompt and thorough in her communication with us and, most importantly, our dog Coco had a great day with her! She kept us updated with photos and notes about what they were doing which was lovely. She obviously loves dogs! Thank you Rachel
Katrina and her sister are honestly the best dog sitters of all time !! Super friendly helpful and really attended to Roxy’s needs , Roxy always has the best time when she stays over !! Amazing updates always and super trust worthy definitely Roxy’s long term sitters 😊 best of the best !
Herbie and Emma looked after our excitable 18 month old Cocker-Retriever Finn for 6 nights and could not have been more accommodating. They listened to all our ‘instructions’ and Finn was clearly so well looked after. We were sent updates every day and were so confident he was in good hands. Herbie and Emma arranged a pre-sitting walk with us too so everyone could meet which worked great. I can’t recommend them highly enough, and Finn will be back! Thank you both
