“What can I say except thank you so so much, Kelly, for taking care of my furry children while we were away. I actively looked forward to the detailed updates each day, even while I was on holiday, and seeing how they immediately took a shine to you let me know they were in great hands. Without a doubt, exceptional care - a true professional! Thanks a million!”


“Absolutely fantastic! Ellie was wonderful with our boy Sammy He can be a stubborn fella and having diabetes going away can be stressful at best of times leaving him at home. But I’m so glad we found Ellie she was lovely and genuine when she came and met Sammy and me before hand to get a feel for his personality. Kept in constant contact with pictures and I felt so at ease knowing his bloody glucose would be tested along side his usual insulin jabs m, Ellie was wonderful with all of that too. Would recommend anyone to book Ellie she was just amazing and I think Sammy is missing her visits now too!”

About: We (Hope, Left & Rachel, Right on the photo!) have been looking after all different shapes and sizes of dogs for the past 12 years and we absolutely love it! At our home, dogs are truly treated like royalty. During the week we both work from home, meaning that your dog will have constant company! The dogs are fed twice per day, both breakfast and dinner - we can also accommodate additional meals if needed. We walk the dogs in the morning and evening, so they are exercised for at least 90 minutes per day. On days where we have doggy daycare booked in, we take the dogs to a securely fenced dog agility field to ensure that they have full enrichment both mentally and physically. If your dog is boarding with us, we do this activity at least once per week - this is built into the cost already. During the weekend, we do one longer walk on both Saturday and Sunday mornings, combined with a variety of dog friendly activities in the afternoon such as dog friendly cafes and garden centres. We have a fenced garden which your dog would have constant access to through the dog flap. Our three little dogs love having company and will be there to help settle your dog in. Whilst they are all small breeds, they are used to a variety of dogs in the house such as Staffies, lurchers, cockerpoos, spaniels and other small breeds including chihuahuas. We also run a dog grooming business so we can cover any and all of your dog needs. If your dog is boarding with us and you would like to include a groom, please let us know and pricing is dependent on breed.

About: I used to run a boarding and walking business with my mum which I really loved but we recently had to close due to her relocating I currently work part time at a hotel in quorn, I tend to do 4 hour shifts 4 days a week. I would only take on boarding jobs when I have days off work, unless you are happy for the dog to be left alone. I have water bowls and some pet supplies left over from when me and mum were boarding. I have a shared lockable gate just outside my front door, which will have a please keep closed sign on it at all times. My flat is on the ground floor and a 2 minute walk away from a park where I will be taking the dogs for walks and toilet breaks.

“Highly recommend Sim, my cat is an indoor pampered fur baby so can be a little nervous. He warmed to Sim immediately- have to say I was amazed and relieved. The photos and report I received from Sim on the first night of my holiday ( and after every visit )gave me such comfort that he was being so well looked after. Will definitely be booking another holiday with the knowledge that I have a true animal lover to trust with my precious pet.”


“Jo was great with my cat, they became best friends for a week. Jo kept me updated with great pictures every visit, would recommend her to everyone!”


About: I have had animals of all kinds in my life since a very young age. I am well rounded and experienced in animal sitting within your home and love all animals I currently work a full time job from home so can be with your furry friends all the time. I have a part time evening job a couple nights a week, but can take time off if your animals need around the clock attention! I keep your pets in your home so they are comfortable and content. I ask for some basic instruction to follow so they are happy whilst you are away! I will provide regular updates so you know what your fur babies are up to!

“Rachel is absolutely perfect and we are so grateful for her looking after our young Golden Retriever. We don’t have to worry and know he is in safe and caring hands, which is all we can ask for. Would definitely recommend 😊”


About: Leaving my beloved pets behind when I moved to the UK for my master’s program has been one of the toughest parts of this journey. My 9-year-old Labrador, Oscar, has been my loyal companion since he was a pup. He has this incredible ability to sense my moods; when I’m feeling down, he curls up beside me, offering his warmth and unwavering support. Our daily walks are filled with joyful moments, whether it’s chasing after his favorite tennis ball or splashing through puddles. He teaches me the simple joys of life, reminding me to cherish every moment. Then there’s my sweet cat, a brave little soul I adopted a while ago. She recently became a mother to six adorable kittens, and witnessing her nurturing side has been nothing short of heartwarming. It’s a beautiful sight—her gentle purrs as she cares for her little ones, ensuring they feel safe and loved. Each kitten has their own personality, from the curious adventurer to the sleepy cuddle bug, and I feel so privileged to have been part of their lives from the start. The bond I share with Oscar and my cat is irreplaceable. They are more than just pets; they are family. I miss their playful antics and the comfort of having them around every day. Despite the distance, I hold onto the memories we’ve created together, knowing that one day, I’ll be reunited with them. In caring for them, I’ve learned the importance of patience, love, and responsibility. They’ve shown me how to be attentive to their needs and how to create a nurturing environment. The experience has deeply shaped my understanding of animal care and the profound bond between humans and their pets. I am currently a master student and do not have any jobs in particular. I am mostly free as i have only 3 days class . I would love to hang out and spend time with my furry buddies! I live near a dog friendly park where i can easily take the pet for walks and play. I myself am a very outdoor person and can hang out with pet buddies outside more than inside!

About: As a dog mum myself, I understand how important it is to feel completely at ease when leaving your pet in someone else’s care.

Whether it’s long walks, cuddles, enrichment games, or sticking closely to your dog’s routine - your pet will feel right at home with me. Right now, I’m off work for the next 10 weeks, so I have full availability every day to dedicate to pet care. This means your dog will get my undivided attention - whether it’s for walks or home visits. I’m flexible, responsive, and able to adapt to your pet’s routine without having to juggle other commitments. It’s the perfect time for me to offer calm, consistent care, just like they’d get at home. I always follow your instructions carefully, including feeding times, walks, medication (if needed), and any house routines you’d like me to keep consistent. I send regular updates and photos so you can feel fully reassured while you’re away. My goal is for your pet to feel relaxed, loved, and completely at ease in your absence.
