“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 🩷👑”
“Charlie stayed overnight with Katherine and I am grateful of the care he received. He was happy and relaxed when I picked him up and I know he was in good hands”
“My dog had the best time with Amanda she sent me photos and messages daily to keep me Informed of how he was settling in. She provided a great safe fun and secure space I would 100% recommend her.”

“Jade was brilliant, right from before I booked- answering questions etc. right through to my dog, Peggy's stay. She put us at ease, was very friendly, had a lovely home and looked after Peggy as if she were her own. Thank you!”
“We’ve had a fantastic experience with Emily. She looked after our Olde Tyme Bulldog while we were away and it gave us real peace of mind. We especially appreciated the regular updates and photos she sent through, it was lovely to see how happy our dog was in her care. Communication was excellent throughout, and it’s clear she genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and attentive dog sitter. We’ll definitely be booking again!”
About: I’ve taken care of many different breeds and ages of dogs. I have experience with training younger dogs, as well as older or more anxious animals. I also have experience caring for younger and elderly cats. I’m currently available for weekend boarding! For Friday boarding starts please message to confirm a 6pm or later drop off is available, as I work a 9-5 during the week. For anything outside weekends, please message to see if I can accommodate your pets needs (ex. Evening drop ins or walks) Please let me know if your animal has any special care instructions.

“Abbie looked after my dog Spike for a few days. She gave him lots of attention, took him out on walks, cuddled with him and made him feel very happy. 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!”
“While I was away, Abby sent messages, photos and videos which reassured me that Bella was perfectly happy and settled. I would highly recommend Abby to anyone worrying about boarding their dog while they are away.”

Outstanding service provided by Amanda. Very accommodating and knowledgeable dog sitter who instantly put my mind at ease after dropping off Willow to stay with them. Clearly well experienced with certification which was very impressive. She provided me with regular updates and pics to show my dog having a great time. 10/10 would highly recommend. Will definitely be my first choice if I ever need a dog sitter again. Thank you
Alice and her family were lovely and welcoming when we took Bronson round to meet them. She clearly loves dogs and wanted to know as much about his routine as possible so she could keep it the same. Bronson came home happy and tired. I would not hesitate to leave Bronson with Alicecagain and I would recommend her to anyone. Thanks Alice
Karolina and Damian were the perfect Couple for Prince to stay with. He was loved from the moment he met them and was well looked after during his stay. They kept us updated with photos and texts. Would recommend Karolina to everyone and will definitely use them again.
Elizabeth looked after my 2 year old dachshund over night & he absolutely loved it. They are great sitters and looked after him quite short notice. I was updated on how he was doing with a photo and he had a blast playing with Bailey! Would recommend Elizabeth to anyone looking for a great pet sitter to leave your fur baby with! x
My boy Charlie spent 2 days with Alana while I was away with work. We had a meet and greet beforehand to make sure the dogs got on well together. Then I dropped Charlie off for his stay and I was pleased to receive updates letting me know how he was getting on and photos to show he was enjoying himself! Alana was friendly and easy to communicate with. I’d definitely recommend!
5-star review for Abby! We left our beloved Labrador Hugo in her care and knew we made the right choice from the start. Abby was fantastic, and her regular photo and video updates gave us total peace of mind. Hugo clearly loved his stay, and we could see how well looked after and happy he was. We're so grateful for Abby's love and care for Hugo. Highly recommend!
