“I've never used a dog sitting service before, so I was very anxious leaving my dog. I received so many updates during my time away, so I knew Grenda was in good hands. Highly recommended Jasmine to take care of your animals. Thank you so much!”

“Sandie is lovely! She really cares about the dogs she is looking after & wants them to feel at home, which is easy for Sandie to do! Skye settled very quickly and clearly enjoyed her first sleepover with Sandie. Sandie sent us a lovely photo of Skye as she settled down for the night, so we knew all was well. Thank you Sandie! We have already booked a longer stay with Sandie when we go on holiday.”

“Thank you Georgina! First time we’ve used a sitting service like this and I can highly recommend it. Bella had a great time staying with Georgina and I was able to enjoy my holiday without worrying about her. Thanks for sharing the pictures with us too so we could see how much she was enjoying herself. We will be in touch again if we go away. Thank you”

About: Recently lost my rescue dog after 8 years. Brandy was a handful and always required due care and attention while out. Unfortunately hip dysplasia set in and her quality of life declined. I live a 2 minute walk to the beach so dogs under my care can expect walks & swims with approval. I work 20 minutes from Weymouth so dogs boarded during Monday - Thursday must be happy with short car rides to come into work with me. I won’t leave your pet unattended whilst in my care. Weekends are spent at home with walks on the beach or out exploring the coast line. I live alone so your dog will always have my full attention. I will only take 1 dog into my care at a time. I recently lost my dog who was 38kg and shared my space comfortably. I allow dogs on my sofa & bed so please advise if you don’t want to set this as a habit.

“Absolutely fantastic!!! Maisie & Cooper stayed with Trudy whilst we went for a night away in London and they were more than taken care of! Amazing long walks in the fields & forest and a lovely garden for them to roam until their hearts are content! Updated with pics regularly too! Thank you! Will be using Trudy often! 😅”

“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”

“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.”

“Catherine was just fantastic! Our Labrador puppy, who is nearly 6 months old, had a great time and was cared and looked after so well. Catherine provided regular updates with photos and videos and it was clear how much she enjoys looking after all the dogs that stay with her, as well as her own lovely dog! I would highly recommend Catherine. Thank you!”

“It was a perfect 1st stay away from home. Millie was made very welcome and Aga helped her to settle and maintained her routine. Aga couldn't have been more accommodating or caring and her updates with regular photos showing Millie happy and enjoying herself were very reassuring. A great dog minder that I will use again and would be happy to recommend.”

“Maria looked after our dog, Bronson, from 11/06/2026 to 28/06/2026, and we couldn't have been happier with the care she provided. From the very beginning, Maria's communication was exceptional. She sent regular, detailed updates throughout Bronson's stay, along with lots of photos, which gave us complete peace of mind and allowed us to see how happy and settled he was. Bronson settled in incredibly quickly and was clearly made to feel like part of the family. It was obvious that Maria genuinely cared for him and took the time to understand his needs. As Bronson is currently recovering from an ongoing injury, Maria was fantastic at supporting him with short, slow walks and ensuring he wasn't overdoing it, while still getting the exercise and attention he needed. It was wonderful to know that he was being cared for in such a loving and attentive environment. We returned to a happy, relaxed dog, which says everything about the quality of care he received. We would highly recommend Maria to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and professional dog sitter, and we will absolutely be using her services again in the future. Thank you, Maria, for taking such amazing care of Bronson! 🐾❤️”

“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.”

About: I’ve always had pets/animals in my home from a young age. I’ve always taken responsibility in looking after them and give them all the love in the world. I’ve had experience with both cats and dogs and my dog at the end of his life I am a staff nurse so am free on various days of the week, and can be around for the pets on my days off for the whole time they’re in my care I have a large fenced garden with plenty of space to roam around. No other pets in the property yet due to just buying the property

We were very pleased with the care Maya received. She came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well looked after. It was reassuring to know she was in such kind and capable hands, and we would not hesitate to book again.

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.
