“Paula and John looked after my little dog Panzer at short notice. I felt very at ease as he was well welcomed into their home with cuddles and treats! They took excellent care of him and he came back happy and tired after a lovely long walk. I would happily recommend and wouldn't hesitate to bring him back for another visit!”

Josh has no problem walking Merlin ,and he is comfortable letting him off the lead in suitable locations with our consent . Merlin is always really pleased to see Josh . We would recommend Josh to anyone who requires a dog sitter/walker .”


5. Samantha S.

“Sam was warm and welcoming and Louie didn't want to leave at pick up time and seemed very content. Sam kept me updated throughout the day with pictures and videos and he looked very happy and comfortable. No issues at all. Sam also has great garden for Louie to play in as well which is a bonus as we don't have much of one! Would definitely use her again for doggy day care.”

“Laura is amazing and super lovely! It was our first time leaving our dog with someone for daycare, and Laura has been an excellent communicator from start to finish when both organising the day, and also keeping us in the loop with pictures and updates on the day itself! We will continue to use Laura for both daycare and boarding knowing our dog is in safe hands! Thanks so much Laura!”


8. Bethany G.

“Bethany quickly responded to our last minute request for a booking and I am glad we have found Bethany and Obi. We have since book another stay and I am sure we will again in the future. Our dog had such a great time, going for a walk in the woods and playing with Obi. And it was great that Bethany kept us informed throughout the stay. Thank you so much! X”

10. Priscilla T.

“We were visiting the local area and Priscilla looked after our dog Leo in her home for part of the day. He instantly felt comfortable with her and seemed to have a great day relaxing and on a walk in the local area, which has a nice park nearby. Would definitely recommend booking with Priscilla!”


11. Richard S.
“Richard and family have looked after my beagle a handful of times now and I wouldn’t leave her anywhere else! She gets treated to lots of walks/adventures and as many cuddles as she wants! Couldn’t recommend them enough :)”


12. Joshua A.
“Joshua has always had a special place when it comes to animals, he’s always had a passion to work with them. We’ve owned numerous dogs over the years and Josh has always been there to help, come rain or shine that boy is out walking them. Ever since he was little he’s always wanted animals, every Christmas and every birthday he’d ask me if he could have a dog…well when I finally gave in it was the best decision we ever made! He cared for that dog amazingly. He never asked for help with walking or buying things because his response “it’s my dog so my responsibility”. The love that he has for animals is something else, he will quite easily put animals before himself most of the time as he’s just got so much love to give them.”


13. Ma Romina C.
“She is a dog lover who likes to walk everyday. Keeps the pet active and happy. Takes care of them like her own pet. Recommended.”


14. Cara Hung Yan M.
“I wholeheartedly recommend Cara Hung Yan as a responsible pet sitter and loving pet caregiver. Her dedication to the well-being of animals is truly remarkable. Having entrusted my beloved furry companion to her care multiple times, I can confidently say that Cara goes above and beyond to ensure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved. Cara's attentiveness to detail and adherence to routines put both pets and pet owners at ease. She never misses a beat when it comes to feeding, walking, and playing with our pets, making them feel right at home. Her genuine affection and gentle approach create an instant bond with the animals she cares for, turning each visit into a joyful experience. Furthermore, Cara's responsible nature and quick communication provide immense peace of mind. I appreciate the regular updates and photos she sends, keeping me informed and reassured that my pet is in excellent hands. Without a doubt, Cara Hung Yan is a pet sitter extraordinaire. Her passion for animals shines through in every interaction, and I cannot recommend her enough. If you seek a trustworthy and compassionate caregiver for your furry friend, look no further than Cara. She truly is a gem in the world of pet care!”


15. Iain B.
About: I've had two dogs in the last 14 years. Ringo and Sam. Couldn't face losing another. Making new friends and taking good care of them, that's the next best thing. I'm retired, so have plenty of time on my hands. I play golf at the weekends but finish around 10am. The rest of the weekend is normally free. I live in a secure gated area with gardens to the front. No other pets in the community at present. No pet issues with neighbours.


16. Paula K.

“Bai Bai had a brilliant time at Paula’s and I really loved the photos Paula has taken. Thank you for looking after Bai Bai!”


17. Joseph M.

“Couldn't of been happier with Joe looking after Mylo while me and my girlfriend visited Alton Towers for the day. He's an 11 month old Staffy so is very excitable at first when meeting new people and being in new places and he handled it perfectly and kept me updated over the day. He was tired on the way home so was obvious he had been on good walks and well played with. Also Joe's a really nice guy and would definitely use him again when I next visit the area.”

“Helen is brilliant with Milo. She sent me some cute pics and updates through out the day. He’s having a good sleep on the sofa right now, tired after having lots of fun play time with Helen’s lovely dogs. Very very happy with the service and will be booking with Helen regularly.”

“Olive had a wonderful day and I felt so much happier knowing she was safe and being well looked after! Will definitely be coming to Moira again in the near future. Thank you! ?”

About: I have always owed both cats and dogs since I was very young. I am a big dog lover, who is currently learning how to train dogs as well. I am not working at the moment so I'm pretty much free most of the time during the week. I'm very happy to help out others by walking their dog during the day as i would do it anyway multiple times a day. Also I more then happy to dog sit a calm dog who is friendly with other dogs and pets. I have a fancied garden, a lovely playful husky who can keep your dogs company while your fur baby stays at our lovely home. Me and my fiancee home most of the time so they won't get bored at all.
