“Brilliant! Thank you so much, kept me updated on Barney every day with pictures and videos, really went out your way for Barney and made him feel so at home! I will definitely rebooking in the near future! Thankyou to you & your family for everything you have done :)”

“Catherine was very responsive, replying to our enquiry within 5 minutes. As a last minute arrangement (we’d been let down by pre-arranged sitters) we were concerned that we wouldn’t be accepted anywhere as we couldn’t do a ‘meet and greet’ but there was no need to worry, Catherine was very happy to accommodate and very welcoming when we dropped Harry off. She was very reassuring, which put as at ease as we’d never left him with a stranger for the night and had no idea how he’d settle. She regularly updated us with pictures and messages and we would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending her. Shame we don’t live in the same county…but next time we’re in Dorset and in need of a pet sitter we know who to call! We thank you Catherine for making Harry feel so welcome and taking great care of him. Elizabeth and Richard.”

“Joan, Was friendly, professional and quick to reply to any enquiries. She provided regular updates and photos of her coastal walks with my dog Bert. I would recommend Joan to anybody - 5 stars!”

“Trudy looked after Pip so well. She was sensitive to her needs as an older dog and did her utmost to make sure Pip was happy - which she was. Thank you Trudy. Your kindness and care were much appreciated”

“This was Gwens first time away from the family and we were worried as she's quite a sensitive dog. Alex was amazing with her, she gave us regular updates and Gwen thoroughly enjoyed her stay. Lots of lovely walks and lots of playing ball. We have no hesitation in using Alex again and thoroughly recommend her. Thanks again Alex and family”


“From the initial introduction, we knew Sandie was the lady we would entrust with our pose of 3 dogs. One of our clan is older and needs regular medication and she was meticulous with the care of all our dogs. We will definitely use Sandie as our first port of call next time we are away and we could not reccommend her more highly!”

“Max had a wonderful time with Sofia. He had morning walks and was kept cool during the day. When I arrive to collect him, he was very chilled out. It’s been very difficult for Sofia this week as the weather has been so warm sometimes 30° so it wasn’t possible for her to enjoy long walks with him during the day but he seems to have had a good time and he’s relaxing in his bed now he’s home. I would recommend Sofia she’s very kind and looked after Max well.”

“Zoe is a gem. She responded to our request for Ginger to stay, speedily and efficiently. Our little dog was so happy when we collected her, testimony to being so well cared for by Zoe during her two night stay. Thank you for being so kind and lovely to Ginger - beach walks included! We will be back. Stu”

“Paul was an amazing dog sitter! Richie stayed with him and his family for just over a week, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. Paul has a wonderful home and a lovely family, which made me feel completely at ease leaving Richie in their care. They followed all of my instructions regarding feeding and his daily routine, and it was clear that Richie was happy, comfortable, and well looked after. I also really appreciated the regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind throughout his stay. I would absolutely book with Paul again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and trustworthy dog sitter.”


“Jackie is fabulous! Her (and her family) take such good care of our dachshunds. Jackie was brave enough to take on our 4 month puppy! Our dogs were walked, and cared for beautifully. We rate Jackie so highly and would have no hesitation in recommending her.”


“We had never left Matilda with non-family before so were worried but we had a lovely meet with Patri before our booking date and this really put our minds at rest and we knew that Matilda would be well looked after and we had nothing to worry about. Patri asked all the right questions to ensure she gave Tilda the best care. When we left her she was not at all bothered and Patri sent us photos to show she practically went straight to sleep :) Thank you Patri, we certainly enjoyed our event more not worrying about Tilda and knowing she was in good hands,”

“Keith and Michelle were absolutely wonderful with my dog, Maya. They are kind, caring, and clearly love what they do. Maya enjoyed plenty of long walks and came home happy and relaxed. I couldn’t ask for better people to look after her — highly recommended!”

“Theo had a wonderful time staying with Aga. He settled straight in, loved the garden and playing fetch! Then enjoyed cuddles on the sofa 🐶 Aga is super friendly, quick to respond and kept me updated throughout with photos. Theo can’t wait to stay again.”

“Ross looked after my Jackapoo Enzo for a night last weekend, Enzo can be quite choosy as to who he gets to like but immediately took to Ross who clearly has a great way with dogs. I was struck by Ross’s preparation involving a questionnaire about Enzo and his likes and dislikes. Ross will be my go to person when Enzo needs to be cared for in the future.”

“Ruth is everything you could hope for from a dog sitter and more. Very patient, kind, caring and understanding approach and great at communicating. Great experience, would highly recommend and so would my 15 year old partially blind and deaf little dog!”

“Our dog Sully had a great time again! Sarah was caring, reliable, and kept us updated with photos and messages. Sully came home happy and well cared for. We’ll definitely book again!”

“A big thank you to Sue for looking after our two dogs Ace and chobbit. Sue kept us updated on how our boys were doing over the 4 days in her care. Brilliant service with genuine care for animal welfare. We will book with Sue again with out question. Highly recommended. Thank you 🙏”

“Jane was absolutely brilliant. She responded really quickly, was incredibly accommodating despite it being very last minute, and made the whole process so easy. She's a genuinely lovely lady, and my dog warmed to her straight away. She kept me updated throughout, and it was clear my little dog was happy, relaxed and well looked after. I picked her up one very happy dog! (Jane's dog Watson is a lovely little dog too! Which helped Dolly settle quickly). I wouldn't hesitate to use Jane again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, very reliable and caring dog sitter.”


About: I have taken care of animals of all kinds since I was 16 years old from boarding to walking and general checkups. I work with animals professionally have multiple years of medical training under my belt. I am more than comfortable with all breeds, species and temperaments. 🩷 I currently work 4 days a week so am available all evenings and all days on my days off to take care of your loved ones. I have a three week rolling rota so have very consistent days off for full day hoardings. Depending on how close you live to my work I am also available to do lunch time drop ins and quick walks/feeds on my lunch breaks. I am very flexible and can work around you :) For boarding I have a fenced in garden that they can have full access too. I don’t have any pets or take care more then one households pets at a time so they will never be around unfamiliar animals. For walks I offer a 30 min to an hour and a half evening walk. I will never walk your dog with another houses dog and will always keep them on leash for their safety :) For pet sitting at your home it is always your house your rules and will always make sure they are being cared for exactly as you request. Please feel free to reach out if you have any further questions.

Nathan looked after our dog, Penny, for three weeks while we were away, and we couldn't have been happier with the care he provided. From the moment we left, Nathan kept in regular contact, sending us frequent updates and plenty of photos, which gave us complete peace of mind. It was clear that Penny was happy, well cared for, and enjoying her time with him. Nathan was reliable, professional, and genuinely caring throughout. We wouldn't hesitate to leave Penny with him again in the future, and we would highly recommend Nathan to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their dog. Thank you, Nathan, for taking such wonderful care of Penny.

Excellent care! From initial communication, to the introductory meeting with Katie and her own dogs, and the actual stay with photos sent to us of our dog in her care – Katie is everything we wanted. She's cheery, capable and warm with dogs and with people. We felt 100% confident in knowing that Katie was caring for our dog for six nights. Thanks, Katie!
