“Parker seemed to have a lovely time with Angela. She followed all our instructions and he settled in really well. He had lots of walks and food and cuddles and we’d definitely be happy to use them again.”
“I can’t recommend Helen highly enough. She looked after our excitable young working cocker spaniel beautifully. He was calm and happy when we picked him up and had obviously had a lovely time. Helen was careful to ask us exactly how we wanted Ernie to be cared for and gave him lots of walks and attention. He lapped it up. I loved having the regular updates and pictures which helped me relax knowing he was so happy and well cared for.”
“Our dog had an overnight with Cora and he was very settled and well cared for. He and Cora's dog were comfortable together. Cora is very flexible, we extended our time a bit and she was absolutely fine about that. Would go back for his care in the future. Thanks Cora!”
“We left our Cockerpoo with Susan and Bennie for the first time today. They were great to deal with, kept us updated with lots of photos and Pepper seemed to settle with them very quickly, which was very reassuring for us.”
“Lexie what’s a great Sitter for our dog Parker. She offered to come and meet him beforehand so she could get to know him and his needs. She sent photos while we were away and he seemed very happy and comfortable there. Would use again.”
“Isla was very happy staying over at Mollie's house. Isla can be a bit over friendly 🫣 but Mollie handled this really well and took great care of her. Isla is looking forward to her next visit already!! 🐾🐾”
“Savannah is clearly a pro! She was very thorough with gathering details from us and provided photo and video updates that put us at ease. We would 100% use her again. Thank you, Savannah!”
“Our dogs stayed with Kat for four nights and we were absolutely delighted with the service. It was truly a home-from-home experience. The boys were so well looked after and clearly very happy when we collected them. We wouldn’t hesitate to book again and highly recommend Kat to anyone looking for loving, reliable care for their dogs!”
“Our dog Sadie had an amazing stay with Alexandra. As soon as they first met in the park they instantly took to each other. Throughout the stay Alexandra kept me updated with messages and photo’s. I would highly recommend Alexandra!”
“This was the first time we have let someone we didn't know look after Luna. Karina was caring and supportive of us and Luna throughout the process. We couldn't have asked for more. Thank you.”
About: I have recently started a new job and keen to kick start this account again😊 I have had dogs my whole life, starting with labradors and now border terriers. I am a young, fit individual who loves going on walks and spending time with dogs. My own dog Teddy has epilepsy so I am able to manage dogs with medical conditions well. I have access to a car and can drive to any appointments🚘 Please don’t hesitate to message any questions. I currently work full time through a shift schedule. However I often have spare time on my hands during days off on which I would love to go a walk or help out other dog owners. When in someone else’s home I will respect any instructions given to me. I I can bring my own dog on walks (if wanted) to keep company.
“Michelle was absolutely wonderful. Nothing was too much for her. Our dog has a disability Michelle was so good and did more than we expected in caring for Mouse. I couldn’t thank her enough and her wonderful family. Thankyou”
“Fantastic dog sitter. Stepped in at the last minute, great communication before hand, came and went exactly as planned and could not have been better. Parker loved Harriet - he wanted to go with her when she left! She even lent me a handbag for my even when I realised I had not packed one. 11/10, thanks Harriet”
About: I have over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals, from cats and dogs to horses and pigs. I’ve house-sat for multiple families, ensuring their pets are well cared for and kept in their usual routines while owners are away. I hold a Level 3 Extended Diploma in Animal Management, which gave me in-depth knowledge of animal health, welfare, behaviour, and husbandry across multiple species. Alongside this, I have experience working in a small animal veterinary practice, where I developed strong skills in recognising signs of illness, supporting senior pets, and assisting with general animal care. I am confident with basic medication administration and maintaining consistent routines for puppies and younger dogs. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I’ve regularly cared for my own pets as well as those of family and friends for many years. I am responsible, reliable, and understand the trust involved in caring for both pets and homes. Pet care is my full-time focus. I run my own business caring for dogs and horses, which means I have full control over my schedule and can plan my days around the animals in my care. Because of this flexibility, I’m able to provide consistent attention, regular walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. Whether your pet needs active stimulation, structured exercise, or simply calm company, I can tailor my routine to suit their individual needs.
“Katy and Chris were fantastic! Ruby had such a good time while she stayed with them. She got on so well with her buddy Tiger their golden retriever. We felt very reassured throughout her stay because Katy was excellent at keeping in touch with us with pictures and updating us what they all got up to. Will definitely book again and highly recommend Katy and Chris for your furry friends :)”

Our two shih tzus had a great stay with Cora. She was welcoming and reassuring from the start, kept us well informed throughout their stay, and went out of her way to make sure they were happy and comfortable. She also has a great location right beside a nice park. Would highly recommend and use again.
Alice and Ronan were fantastic! My dog can be quite anxious with new people but they were great with keeping him occupied with treats and snuggles. I really appreciated the updates and photos from Alice. He clearly had an amazing time and was made to feel at home during his stay. Thankyou so much, I'll definitely be booking again! 🤩
