“Enireth clearly is a dog person. Fudge had a great time and was well looked after. Enireth helped me out with a last minute extra day. Good communications and quick response to queries. Would definitely recommend ?”
3. Jessica H.
“I can't thank Jess and Sara enough. They have looked after Dolores for a further week whilst I was working away and I knew she was in safe hands. I would recommend Jess and Sara to anyone who needs a pet sitter, and will consider them my first choice if I need a sitter for Dolores in the future.”
4. Emily L.
“I left Luna with Emily twice and will definitely use her again. Luna has separation anxiety and takes a second to warm up to new people. Emily was open to meeting beforehand and doing a trial daycare day, which I appreciated. By the second sit, she ran into Emily’s house and didn’t look back. She was happy for me to leave and came back a happy dog. Couldn’t ask for anything more! It genuinely seems like Emily just loves dogs and Luna loves being spoiled so everyone is happy.”
5. Kristen E.
“I would like to thank Kris for looking so well after our 2 dogs Iestyn & Ianto. It was the first time boarding out with him. Kris sent us some very detailed daily updates with lots of pictures. Both our dogs came back home relaxed and happy. They had daily long walks and played with other dogs. Kris went the extra miles, meeting me before making the booking and also picking up/bringing back the dogs. I will book him again for 2 more holidays next year and more in the future. I highly recommend Kris, the best dog boarder, great communicator who loves his jobs and dogs.”
6. Nia W.
“Nia has looked after our dog benji a few times now and has been wonderful. She has always made sure to keep benji entertained taking him on walks and playing with him throughout the day. She is a really enthusiastic and caring sitter I would highly recommend! she always sends photos to us through the day to keep us up to date on how benji is getting on!”
7. Phoebe D.
“Phoebe looked after our little pup Milo for 6 nights and from our first engagement to pick up, her service was first class. We arranged an initial meet up to see if Milo was comfortable and agreed to book from there. She really looked after Milo and he was very content and happy in her lovely home. We’ve booked her again for the new year as a testament of how good her service was. She really cares for animals and has catered for Milo’s particular demands. He’s a very needy pup, and Phoebe had no issues with this. Would highly recommend!”
8. Anna G.
“Anna always responded promptly to any contact. We had a pre-meet just to ensure my dog got on with hers. Dexter was well looked after and I was regularly updated with messages and photos on how he was because it was his first stay away overnight with a stranger. I will definitely be using Anna again.”
9. Kristina K.
“Percy had a great week with Kristina! She is fantastic at looking after our puppy and sent lots of regular photos and updates which was a real comfort for us for his first full week away. It’s the second time Percy has stayed with Kristina and we’ll definitely continue to rebook, would highly recommend! Thanks Kristina for looking after him so well ☺️”
10. Jessica C.
“Thank you for watching Luna! Will definitely see you again”
11. Laura C.
“Banjo and I met up with Laura and Pepper a few nights before the planned stay, so that it could be attained how the two dogs got along. Banjo was clearly very comfortable with Laura and Pepper and in their home environment. I was very grateful to Laura as I had to make the booking at quite short notice due to my original booking falling through. Laura kept us updated throughout the long weekend that we were away with regular pupdates, pictures and videos of Banjo and the adventures that he was with Laura and Pepper. My dad picked Banjo up as arranged on Tuesday morning - and it's always a good sign that the dog had a good time when they do not wish to leave. We will definitely be in touch with Laura again in the future. And our thanks to Pepper to for allowing Banjo to share his spaces and toys etc”
12. Claire H.
“Claire has looked after Holly many times now and she absolutely loves going. Claire kindly agreed to have my mam's dog as well for my wedding day and it was so nice knowing that they were both going to Claire and that I wouldn't have to worry about them at all :)”
13. Leah M.
“Leah has been fantastic in helping look after and walk my beautiful lab penny - she looks after her like she is one of her own and often brings her on walks with her own dog Franklin. She is kind and caring and has been able to get me out of a tricky spot with my shift work by walking Penny at late notice. She has clearly a lot of experience with different breeds, I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my penny now. Leah is very reliable and goes above and above for penny, would recommend her to any dog mum out there 😊”
14. Paul H.
“Paul was great - clearly knew dogs and how to look after them well. Sven had a wonderful time - would not hesitate at all in sending Sven back to Paul. Highly recommend 😃”
15. Sarah H.
“Your dog always let's you know whether they are happy in their new environment. Betty was very happy with Sarah and her family so much so she wants to stay again very soon.”
16. Vladimir P.
“Amazing dog sitter with our dog Kenzo we don’t trust him with anyone else apart from Vladimir he looks after our dog so well and we are always confident and happy to leave Kenzo he loves his time with Vladimir and his son and gets so excited when we drop him off which makes us happy :) thankyou so much”
17. Jemma T.
“Another successful stay for Monty with Jemma and her two boys. He’s well looked after and Jemma takes into account how he may be feeling unsettled initially before he becomes part of the gang. She is as daft about dogs as I am and nothing is too much trouble. Thanks again Jemma, Bruce and Alfie.”
18. Michelle M.
“Pepper had a wonderful time with Michelle & Teddy! Michelle took fantastic care of Pepper, and was really attuned to her needs as a nervous rescue. Michelle sent the loveliest photos and videos throughout Pepper’s stay, which was really reassuring; it was clear that Pepper was having a great time, playing with Teddy and having a lovely long walks. Michelle is an amazing carer for doggies and we highly recommend her!”
19. Sucheta M.
“Amazing. They clearly know how to look after dogs and Bambi loved staying with them. Their communication was fantastic throughout and I got loads of updates including pictures and videos. I would give them 6 stars if I could.”
20. Jack W.
“Benji had a fab time with jack and his dog, loads of photos and videos, showed just how calm and chilled my dog was, which made my break a lot less stressful. Jack is an amazing dog minder, and we have already booked him for an additional holiday. See you in may .....”
