“Edward and Natalie were brilliant with Peggy. Made sure to familiarise themselves with Peggy's routine in advance, adapted their care to the hot weather, took beautiful pictures that I might well print and were great at keeping me informed more generally. Peggy was clearly really relaxed in their company. Would definitely recommend.”
“My furr Babies stayed for the first time and I've just picked them up and got them home and they're as happy as they always are. Chloe kept me posted with photos of walks and cuddles. Very happy with her care!!”
“Our pups spent a weeks holiday with Sacha and Christina whilst we had ours. They treat them like their own, sharing lots of fun pics and stories of what they get up to. They made us feel like they love our dogs as much as we do. Thank you both”
“Melinda looked after my dog Lola whilst we were on holiday for 8 days. She sent regular updates and photos to me which was great. I’d thoroughly recommend Melinda to look after your pet. Lola was happy and contented when she was collected. I definitely will ask Melinda to look after Lola when we next go on holiday. Thanks Melinda”

About: I’m a lifelong pet lover with years of hands-on experience. I grew up surrounded by animals (2 dogs and 3 cats) and currently have a 5-year-old French Bulldog, so caring for dogs is second nature to me. I regularly look after friends’ dogs of all sizes, from small breeds to larger dogs. I’m comfortable with different personalities, routines, and energy levels. I offer a calm, dog-friendly home where pups feel safe, loved, and relaxed. I understand that being away from their owners can be stressful, so I focus on routine, reassurance, and plenty of attention. Many dogs settle in so well they don’t want to leave! Your dog will be treated like family, and you’ll always get updates and photos for peace of mind. I work from home full-time, so dogs are never left alone for long. I already have a daily routine with morning and evening walks thanks to my own dog. I don’t have children, so my attention is fully focused on the dogs in my care. I’m available weekdays and weekends and can easily fit pet care into my daily routine. I live in a one-floor house with a fully enclosed garden, giving dogs a safe space to relax, play, and explore. To keep your pup company, I have my own French Bulldog, Mr Pablo — a gentle, happy soul who loves to play, make friends, and (very generously) share his snacks. He’s used to having other dogs around and helps guests settle in quickly. My home is calm, secure, and dog-friendly, with safety and comfort always a priority.
“Ben & Freya were great at looking after Ronnie. They kept us updated throughout the stay, which really put us at ease. You can tell they genuinely care about dogs. Would definitely recommend and wouldn’t hesitate to book again.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs the majority of my life and since moving out of my parents house I now miss looking after my dogs. Before I am an to get a dog of my own, I’d love to continue to have dogs in my life to love and care for. I currently work from home 3 days a week and I am around most weekends. But I am flexible with my days in the office if needed. My office is also a dog friendly office, however it is in London so I would check with the owner before taking them with me. I have an open plan downstairs of my house with room for a crate if needed, all floors are wooden. I don’t have a garden but I have green space right outside and lovely walks just 5 minute walk away. I have no pets of my own.
“We could go in peace leaving Zula with Dee. Zula was in heat on the day before we left and I was slightly panicking but Dee assured me that it was fine and she would take great care. Treated Zula as family and I would recommend this service. Zula is in great shape and a happy dog”
“Boden felt right at home with Izabela and her family. She was gentle and caring, introduced him to other dogs slowly, and even let him sleep in the bed. Great communication too. We would definitely use her again!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and owned them my whole life, and I’ve always loved being around animals. Over the years, I’ve cared for other people’s pets through walking, sitting, and working at a kennel, so I’m comfortable with all breeds, ages, and personalities. I studied Bioveterinary Science at university and also completed a PhD in the control of infectious diseases, which has given me a strong understanding of animal health, welfare, and behaviour. I now have my own dog, Pip, who is an 8-year-old whippet. He’s very sweet and gentle and loves the company of other dogs. I’m calm, reliable, and happy to follow any routines, training, or special instructions to make sure your pet feels safe, relaxed, and well cared for while you’re away. I work from home around three days a week (the days vary), and I’ll update my availability weekly. Your dog will be cared for like one of my own while they’re with me and will never be left unattended. I’m also usually around on weekends, so I can often help out then too My garden is fully fenced, so dogs can safely enjoy time outside. I’m also happy to follow any routines or instructions you leave — from walks and feeding to anything else — to keep things familiar, consistent, and stress-free for your pet.
About: My husband Mark and I are current dog owners to Ronnie, a mixed Jack Russell of 7, and have had experience growing up with and walking a variety of dogs in London. We work from home most days are are able to accommodate extra dogs in our 3 bed house with a fenced garden. We take our dog for a walk three times and day and give him regular loo breaks at home, and are happy for your pooch to join in these too. Our dog is very well behaved and not fussed around others. We know how it can be tricky balancing to find someone to look after your dog if you’re away for a period of time, so wanted to offer our services. ☺️ We currently walk my own dog three times a day - early morning, lunch and evening, for a variety of distances. We tend to do longer walks at the weekend, which we drive to sometimes. We’re happy to pick up and drop off your pooch if you’re based in Berkhamsted/Northchurch up until and including Tring. I have a fenced, grassed garden - great for dogs to run around in. I have a three bed house, and if needed and create your dog it’s own space. We allow our dog on the sofa and bed, but will restrict your own if desired.
“Margarita was amazing. Great communication and took the time to meet us and get to know both us and Bailey. Bailey was looked after so well, she looked her same groomed self from when we dropped off, with Margarita even taking the time to brush her regularly. We also got several pictures and videos, with constant updates, which was great to see. Bailey will be itching to go back again to play with Daisy (thanks for looking after her too Daisy!)”
“All went well. I was very anxious leaving Snoopy with a new person. Robin took charge and all went well. Robin kept me posted. I definitely want to use Robin again....that's if he will take on Snoopy again. Thank you. A great service.”
“Füge had loads of fun and we had lots of pictures. Thank you for looking after him while we had a weekend away without worrying about him. Lots of long walks and water play while keeping him safe from the heat.”

Daisy had a great tester day with Mark. She came home tired but very happy, and it was clear she’d had a brilliant time socialising and playing with the other dogs. Mark is incredibly professional and clearly very knowledgeable, which made it so easy to feel completely comfortable leaving Daisy in his care. Even her basic commands seemed sharper when she got home, it was obvious she’d had a great day of structure and learning as well as fun. We couldn’t be happier with the experience and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Mark to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and trustworthy trainer.
We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! From the moment we met, everything felt easy and reassuring, both Sacha and Cristina were incredibly professional, helpful, and clearly care about the dogs they look after. It gave us real peace of mind knowing Daisy was in such safe hands, and judging by how happy and relaxed she was when we got back, she clearly had a wonderful time. We also really appreciated the updates along the way. Thank you for treating Daisy like one of your own. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you and will absolutely be booking again!
Jagoda was so great with our dog Blaze. They sent regular updates and Blaze had a great time with them. They are so good with dogs that he came back to us after two weeks away, and we could even see an improvement in his training. Thank you for looking after Blaze we will definitely come back!
We couldn’t be happier with the amazing care Emma provided for our puppy, Milo. From the moment we dropped him off, it was clear how genuinely caring, attentive, and warm she is. She treated Milo as if he were her own, making sure he was comfortable, happy, and well-looked after every step of the way. One of the things we appreciated most was how consistently Emma kept us updated. She sent us messages, photos, and little notes throughout the day, which gave us so much peace of mind and made us feel completely confident that Milo was in the best hands. Her communication was thoughtful and reassuring, and it truly meant the world to us.
Bear had a great time with David and his family. I am always a bit nervous about leaving my dog with someone new but felt reassured at the meet and greet. It was so nice for Bear to stay with another dog and cat as well as humans. David is clearly very confident and competent with big dogs like my Bear. David provided daily updates with great pictures and I could see how much fun Bear was having. It really added to the enjoyment of our holiday seeing his adventures 😄
Alexandria was absolutely wonderful. She agreed to look after Gryff at very short notice, we managed to have a quick meet and greet and then he arrived the following day! She sent regular photos and updates, and he was clearly having a wonderful time with lots of walks and cuddles.
We could go in peace leaving Zula with Dee. Zula was in heat on the day before we left and I was slightly panicking but Dee assured me that it was fine and she would take great care. Treated Zula as family and I would recommend this service. Zula is in great shape and a happy dog
Rebecca was great! She helped us really last minute and we felt really at ease leaving Finley with her. Rebecca sent lots of pictures and updates which was exactly what we wanted. There was great communication throughout. We will definitely book Rebecca again in the future and have no problems in recommending her! Finley loved his stay!
Kelly was amazing with our dog Blaze while we were away on holiday. She was warm, welcoming, and made everything stress-free. Blaze loved his walks, got lots of attention, and clearly felt right at home. We really appreciated the photo updates and came back to a very happy dog. Highly recommend Kelly to anyone needing a caring, reliable sitter! We will definitely take Blaze back!
