“So grateful to have discovered June. Our senior dog was so happy and really well cared for and we didn't worry about him for a second while we were away. We've already booked him in for his next holiday 🥰”
“Our pup Mila just had a wonderful 7 day stay with Birgitte & her family. Birgitte sends amazing photos and updates multiple times a day. She also took Mila on 2 walks a day. Mila is so well cared for and given a lot of attention and love. She’s a snuggly dog and we were so happy to receive photos of her all cosy with Birgitte. We will definitely be rebooking and highly recommend you choose Birgitte. You don’t worry for a second when your pup is in her care.”

About: We’re lifelong pet lovers who are excited to start welcoming animals into our new home. We’re also hoping to give our dog positive social experiences with other pets, which is great for training and development. I work from home full-time, so I’m available for pet sitting throughout the day. I take daily lunch-time walks or get out for a bit of exercise, and I’d love to have a furry companion join me! I’m also available for occasional overnight stays and some weekends, depending on availability. I’m a big animal lover and take pet care seriously. In my home, pets have plenty of space to feel comfortable—we have a large house and a fully fenced garden that’s perfect for safe outdoor play. I treat every pet like part of the family, making sure they feel loved, secure, and right at home. Whether it’s cuddle time on the couch or fun in the yard, their well-being is always my top priority.
About: I’ve owned dogs and looked after of friends’ and family’s pets for over 20 years. I thoroughly enjoy taking care of dogs and have experience in their nutrition, coat maintenance, and basic grooming. We have a small, friendly 3.5 year old poodle cross of our own, who enjoys making doggie friends and playing but is equally respectful to older dogs who like their space. I work flexibly part time from home and take my own dog on regular morning and evening walks so your pet will always have company and attention as and when needed. We live in a house with secure, easily accessible garden and can accommodate up to 2 dogs from the same household. I am also available for drop in visits and can collect your dog walks but cannot pet sit at your home due to family commitments.
“Amber was super accommodating and took great care of our 1 year old lab. Will definitely be coming back to her in the future. Thanks so much. :-)”
“Otis is a bit anxious and always very busy so we were nervous about leaving him in someone's home, but right from the start Kristy put us at ease. Krisy gave us daily updates about long walks and swimming, which, as it was our first time was really appreciated. Otis will definitely be holidaying with Kristy again!”

Ellis H.
“We couldn't be happier with the care Eliza and Ellis provided for our Sasha. As a 10-year-old Staffy German Shepherd cross, Sasha is incredibly nervous and needs a lot of human connection. Eliza and Ellis, with their wonderful energy, were unbelievably loving and attentive. It was clear Sasha felt completely at ease and truly bonded with them over the two weeks. In fact, the only 'problem' we had was how much Sasha didn't want to leave when it was time to go home! They are a fantastic, highly recommended couple, and we absolutely plan on booking with them again.”
Kristina A.
“Kristina is one of the most trustworthy, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring people I’ve ever met when it comes to dogs. She is brilliant with our pup, and it’s clear how naturally dogs are drawn to her calm and kind energy. Kristina is incredibly attentive — always tuned in to what each dog needs, whether it’s playtime, gentle reassurance, or a bit of quiet companionship. I have total peace of mind leaving out dog in her care. She’s responsible, warm, and truly passionate about dogs. Anyone who books Kristina as a sitter or dog walker is lucky to have her!”
