Alana was fantastic with our little boy Geno. He has a bit of anxiety and she was extremely kind and patient with him. She sent us several updates and it was obvious she really cared and wanted Geno to be happy and comfortable. We will definitely book with Alana again!

Best dogsitter ever! From the moment I met Alice it was clear that she loved dogs and knew how to look after them properly! I would not hesitate to leave Gandalf with her and her family again. I had regular updates and she was not phased by some of the behavioural issues I mentioned before his stay. I returned to a very happy and chilled dog!

Nicola was absolutely amazing with our Alfie for his weekend boarding. It was his first weekend away from home and we were very worried, but Nicola made him feel completely at home and looked after him as her own! Nice walks, run in the field, continuous updates as much as we wanted, great communication. Right from the start we knew Alfie was is safe and loving hands! Nicola's dog is amazing too :) and was a good friend to our Alfie.

Amazing couple that looked after Dave he is always shy when he first has to stay with someone but they got him out his shell and by the next morning we got lots of pictures of Dave chilling out and being back to his normal self. They was very accommodating to us popping over to see Dave and spend time with him and kept us updated daily

I couldn't have had a better experience with Tom and Emily! They were absolutely perfect. We had a little meet and greet before we left our 2 dogs with them and this put me at ease straight away. They were really good with updates and photos of the dogs. My dogs were happy and settled with them and I would gladly recommend them and use them again! Thanks again ❤️

Jack was amazing looking after my dog Maxine for the night. I was anxious about looking for a dog sitter as I have only ever left Maxine with family before. But Jack made the process go very smoothly and filled me with confidence. Maxine seemed to have a great time, she got on great with Jack's dog Callie. I would be happy to use Jack and Callies sitting service again and would definitely recommend

Chewie spent a whole two weeks with Abby and I think he had a better holiday than I did 🤣 I came home to a very happy doggo, and had regular pics, videos and updates throughout of Chewie having a blast with Abby and Callie. The home environment is gorgeous and it’s such a comfort knowing your dog is being taken such good care of 😊

Abbie gave me frequent updates on Spike which made me feel a lot better as I knew how he was doing. I would definitely recommend Abbie and I will book Abbie again to look after Spike!

It gives me great pleasure to write a testimonial recommending Charlotte as a responsible and loving pet caregiver. I have known Charlotte for 30 years and in that time have personally known her own pet family and witnessed how dedicated to all animals she is. Charlotte has also been a favourite with my pets. Over the years Charlotte has taken wonderful care of my pets when I have been away on holiday or in hospital. The peace of mind this gives me is priceless.
