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!

I am so tempted to write a terrible review just so Alice and her adorable family are available just for me! However that would be doing all those other doggos a disservice. Alice was just amazing from start to finish. My pampered Diva Queen was well tended to, quirks and all. Very welcoming and kind. Lovely clean quiet home. I could tell Susie was made to feel so welcome when we picked her up I thought we were going to have issues getting her to leave! Message updates throughout the stay as they could tell I was a nervous mumma! Thank you again Alice 🩷👑

Our Wire Fox Terrier Elsie had an overnight stay last week with Lindsay in her home and she was extremely well looked after. Lindsay first introduced her two lovely small gentle dogs and they all got along very well. During the evening Lindsay sent me a photo of Elsie relaxing contentedly in her bed. We would have no hesitation in leaving Elsie again with Lindsay.

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.

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
