1. Rosie O.
“Rosie looked after our cat and dog whilst we were away and put us very at ease looking after our fur babies! Highly recommended, very personable but still professional.”
2. Emily B.
“Emily has been caring for our older dog for the past few years when we have been on holiday, and she has always gone above and beyond to make sure he is well cared for. She has also supported us with training advice when taking him on walks (and now he is even better at walking when we take him out) and we would not choose anyone above her to help care for our pets.”
3. Abigail S.
“Abigail has cared for my Labrador and our family braccos on multiple occasions. She’s done both walks from the house and private field hire trips for us. She’s very easy to get in touch with, is reliable and timely. The dogs absolutely adore her, a sure testament to how brilliant she is. She keeps in regular touch while she has them and often sends photo updates during or after. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Abigail to other pet owners.”

About: With 7 years as a dog owner, I understand the love and care a dog’s needs. I’ll treat your dog with the same care I did with mine, before I moved to England we had a lovely dog in my home country, sadly and because visa issues we couldn’t bring him with us, we missed him very much and the love for him in our hearts remain strong. I am a part-time worker with a 16 years old boy I spend a lot of time at home will be lovely to have new friends to walk with them around our neighbourhood. I have a fenced yard , it is very secure to look after your dog, I do have the time, love and passion to care of your dog.
5. Lindsay Panks P.
About: I am a retired lady who is completely mad about dogs of all shapes and sizes. I find it really hard to walk past a dog without acknowledging it. They are such wonderful creatures. I have fostered many dogs for a local rescue centre and am a member of the RSPCA and have helped with various aspects of volunteering work involving dogs and dog welfare. I have a large house with a totally secure back garden. Doggy guests can sleep upstairs or downstairs according to their owner's preference. Daily walks on the beach or through local countryside guaranteed. Let me pamper your pooch while you are away!
6. Izabella G.
“I know Izabella in the capacity of her being my partner’s daughter and I also employ Izabella to help represent my business at consumer events in a customer facing role. Izzy is a kind, responsible and reliable young women with a caring nature. She, like us, is a great lover of animals, looks after our cats when we are away and I would have no hesitation at all in recommending her for this role.”
7. Karolina P.

8. Hannah W.
About: A little about me.. Hi my name is Hannah and I am 29 years old and live with my partner and 3 year old cockerpoo. We live in a flat but we are on the ground floor and there’s a big green garden area just outside the main door which my dog loves to play on. I have experience in dog boarding and always had family dogs. I am a very caring and hardworking individual, I will treat your pooch as part of the family. I am excited to be hearing from you. I am currently working as a supply teacher so I can be flexible if needed on weekdays and most weekends I will be available when required. I have a big green out the front where your dog can go to the toilet or have a play. I also live near the woods and a large park.

10. Kelly G.
“Kelly stayed overnight while we attended my daughter’s wedding, I was really scared letting a stranger stay overnight but after meeting her ,Kelly was lovely and we had no hesitation letting her stay in our home overnight to look after my fur babies. She kept us updated how to dogs were and it put me at ease, When we arrived home our dogs where happy and content like they had fun while we were away. I would recommend kelly to anyone and would definitely use her again.”
