2. Hannah R.

“Hannah is so lovely and looked after our scatty cockapoo as if he were her own. Lots of walks and cuddles. Great to receive photos and videos while we were away. Highly recommend and would definitely book again!”


3. Emine Fulya G.

“Thank you so much again to Fulya and her family - My little dog Rikki had a wonderful time staying with them. I received daily photos or videos of him so I was reassured whilst I was on holiday that he was happy and well cared for. Will definitely be boarding Rikki with them again the next time I'm away. We intend to meet up for dog walks in a couple of months time. Thanks again, Rikki so enjoyed his own holiday with you 😊🐾”

6. Alys H.

“Alys and her Husband were so amazing! Our booking was quite last minute and they were so accommodating and super flexible with timings to help us. We received photo updates of Betsy having a wonderful time. You could just tell Alys and her Husband were warm, kind people and we would not hesitate to use them again to look after our pup. Thank you!!”


7. Victoria C.

“If we could give more than 5 stars we would! Victoria absolutely went above and beyond! Our fur baby came into our lives weeks before lockdown so unfortunately did not have the confidence around strangers he could have had! However when I visited Victoria before booking Loki took to the surroundings instantly and whilst he would normally bark and be cautious he jumped on her sofa and licked her hand “he trusted her” this was new to me so I booked! That is the least of my absolute amazement of this truly amazing lady! We received daily honest updates and photos including some lovely videos of him and fine details of how his holiday was going! He was walked daily (this wasn’t a requirement) if he seemed stressed his bed was moved all over the home until he was comfortable, Victoria even hand fed him his biscuits as we do at home! The time and effort she put in was absolutely amazing. I can’t recommend this lady enough!”


8. Susan M.

“Susan was absolutely fantastic to work with! She took incredible care of our precious baby, Nika, while we were away. The photos and updates Susan sent were wonderful, and Nika was thriving under her attention. We highly recommend Susan for any cat-sitting needs - she is trustworthy, reliable, and clearly very passionate about animals. Five stars isn't enough – I'd give Susan ten stars if I could!❤️👏🏻”


9. Tracy M.

“What a find! Tracy and family truly gave our Lucky home away from home. Great communication throughout, plenty of enrichment. Happy doesn't begin to cover it. Cant wait to be back. Thank you so much xx”

She grew up with dogs and other animals which were cats rabbits gerbils and hamsters she shows great empathy towards all animals .I can honestly say she is 100% reliable, and is a very trustworthy person.”


11. Caroline T.
“Caroline is so wonderful and we feel very lucky to have found her! She takes great care of our Jasper and has even taught him new tricks. He always comes home very happy and chilled out after having a fun day. I’d recommend her to anyone looking for safe care for their dog!”


12. Jean-baptiste J.

“Really helped us out when we were in a bind. A very last minute request for the Easter break. Rocco was happy and had a lot of attention. The fact that Rocco could sit with the family on the sofa in the evenings meant he had a like for like routine and will have felt safe and happy. Thank you so much!”
13. Olivia R.
“Olivia is an amazing dog walker, my dog is estatic every time she walks through the door. Olivia always ensures she has everything she needs before taking her out & makes sure that she has plenty of fun when on her walkies. I couldn’t recommend her enough. ❤️”
