“Kristen was absolutely brilliant with Bilbo She welcomed a meet and greet session and made sure Bilbo was comfortable with her pets. I instantly felt comfortable in leaving our four legged family member in her care. She kept me updated with pics and how he settled on the first night. I would strongly recommend Kristen and would be looking to re book in the future.”


About: What sets me apart from other sitters? I only care for one family’s dogs at a time—no mixing, no stress. Your dog gets exclusive attention, a calm environment, and all the comforts of home. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or quiet companionship, they’ll be treated like part of the family in their own private retreat. A true home away from home. I can provide as many what’s-app updates and photos as you require. I work full-time, but from home, so your dog will have company throughout the day. I may need to pop into the office for a few hours once a week, so your dog should be comfortable being left for up to 3 hours. I provide two walks a day and plenty of cuddle time in between. I’m available for dog sitting Monday to Sunday, whether you need day care, a couple of days, or longer holiday cover. I only ever care for one family’s dogs at a time, so your pup gets my full attention in a calm, home-from-home environment. I ask that dogs are fully toilet trained, friendly, and love a snuggle as much as I do! I offer pet care in my own home, where I live with my long-term partner, Tom. We have a secure, fenced garden for safe outdoor time and plenty of space indoors for your dog to relax. I tailor care to your dog’s preferences, happy to crate them in the evenings if that’s what they’re used to, or let them snuggle up on the sofa if they prefer. I’ll admit, I’m often guilty of morning cuddles in bed, it’s a cosy way to start the day! Walks are part of our daily routine, and I’m happy to walk your dog on or off lead, depending on their recall. My goal is to make your dog feel safe, happy, and completely at home while they’re with me.

“Mark was lovely! I left my 4 year old shih tzu with him last minute for five days. Mark gave me summaries of each day and sent pictures so I didn’t have to worry about anything!! Will definitely be leaving my little Pamuk with him again. Such a lovely couple and I would a hundred percent recommend!”


“Marcus and Mia gave my dogs such a loving and safe time when they went to stay. I received up to date information, including a video, that the dogs were happy and enjoying their stay. I'm so appreciative I found such a lovely place for my dogs to stay, where I didn't have to worry about them. I'd 100% recommend Marcus and Mia to look after your dogs if you're looking for somewhere for them to stay. Thank you x”


“Roy and his wife looked after Belle for 4 nights. Belle had a great time, a loving home from home feel. Very reassuring that Belle was very well looked after. Would highly recommend. Thank you both once again 😊🐶”


“We had no concerns at all leaving Anthea with Louise. Louise is a natural with dogs and we could instantly tell that Anthea would be treated like one of the family during her stay. We received lots of photos and messages and Louise asked us lots of questions to ensure she gave Anthea the best care possible. We will definitely book on with Louise next time we go away.”


“Archie had a wonderful time with Ines. She looked after him so well, taking him for interesting walks, swimming, canoeing and watching films with him! Ines regularly sent photos of his outings to us while we were on holiday, which we loved. Archie clearly had a great time! Thanks so much Ines.”

“Absolutely perfect! Sarah and Anthony looked after Gus as if he was their own. Gus was a happy happy boy when I picked him up. Can highly recommend and will definitely be using them again. Thank you guys.”


“Clare was absolutely brilliant looking after my much loved pug, Keiko. It was the first time I had left her so was a bit apprehensive but Clare and her husband were so kind. Photos and a quick report were sent every day which was very reassuring and on my return I found a relaxed happy dog. Just great. Thanks so much.”


About: I have cared for my own dog for 8 years, from a puppy to now a senior dog and have learnt all about the varying care that different dogs require. I have cared for a friends puppy, a senior dog and also a cat- recognising the different care requirements throughout, going above and beyond to ensure they are comfortable and happy. I have a flexible work schedule so am able to accommodate to varying needs. I am guaranteed to be free every afternoon/ evening and on the weekends! I have a fenced garden in my own property, with the inside being ‘pet proofed’ due to my own dog. I am able to adapt pet care based on owners needs and environment.

“Amy was great! She was extremely friendly and Ruby took to her instantly. Amy was really reassuring and kept us updated with some lovely photos. We will definitely use her again when needed. Highly recommend!”


“Would highly recommend Claire for boarding. My dog has just had her first 5 night stay here. Claire has kept me updated on how she has been with messages and pics and has always been really quick to respond to any questions I’ve had. I will definitely be using again.”


“I was worried about leaving our family dog because he’s never been with people he doesn’t know before now but I should not have been! Emma and her family did a great job at looking after him for the weekend. I got regular photos and updates which was really comforting to see. He was having the best time! If we ever find ourselves in the same situation we will 100% be rebooking with Emma!”


“James and Leah looked after our Labrador boy while we were away for 2 weeks. From the very first meeting they were lovely and put our minds at ease, as it was a fairly last minute booking and we had never meet before. The communication throughout was brilliant, and we were sent regular updates and pictures of him which were much appreciated. When we picked him up he was so settled and at home, and we could see what a great bond they had built. They loved and looked after our boy like he was their own and we couldn't have asked for a better experience! We will definitely be booking them again and would highly recommend them.”
