“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!”

“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”

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

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.

“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.”

“Sarah looked after my dog Diva with love and care. This is the very first time using the site and no doubt I will re book Sarah again. Diva had a Fantastic stay.Even though I was apprehensive leaving my dog with anyone, Sarah did us proud. Well done Sarah!”

“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!”

“Arwen had a wonderful time with Sofia and I would highly recommend her. When I arrived to take Arwen home she came to greet me but then went back to her bed and didn’t want to come home. And that was after one night so she obviously felt completely at home.”

“Thankyou for having Lily and looking after her so well , we really appreciate all the attention and care you put into making her feel so at home with you and highly recommend your services to any owner wanting their dog looked after .”

“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.”

“Linsey was a fantastic host to our Vinnie. It was very appreciated that she hosted for a day prior to a weekly stay, so he could feel settled before (and we could too, first time ever leaving with a dog sitter!). We look forward to seeing you again soon!”

“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”

“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.”

“What a lovely couple. My dog has had a fantastic time. He's come home exhausted after a very long walk. From the photos I have been sent, I can see he thoroughly enjoyed his walks. He was welcomed into their home and treated as though he was their own. It was clear to me that they are dog sitting because they love dogs. I am so happy that my dog was so well looked after. Thank you Sam and Katherine x”

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!
