“"I feel incredibly blessed to have found Kerry and her lovely family to look after our dog, Harley! From start to finish, they treated Harley like one of their own. Her husband Chris, the kids, and their sweet dog, Tilly, welcomed Harley with open arms—Harley and Tilly became instant best friends! Kerry kept me fully updated throughout the stay with wonderful photos and updates on what they’d been up to, which gave me total peace of mind. Harley truly had her own little holiday! I cannot recommend Kerry and her family highly enough. They are fantastic, and we will definitely be booking again."”

“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!”

“Thank you again Catherine, you're a star...Loki loves staying with you and Barney. Catherine is extremely accommodating and flexible to any changes, of which I made at least 2 😬. I would absolutely recommend Catherine to anyone looking for a homely experience knowing their dog will be well cared for and treated like one of the 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!”

“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”

“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.”

“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!”

“I highly recommend Sarah, she and her husband Matthew looked after Teddy extremely well. Sarah updated me with photos and messages. Early drop off wasn't a problem at all. Teddy had wonderful time, lots of walks and cuddles. Will be booking Sarah again for next holiday. Thank you xx”

“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.”

“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”

“Thank you to Ruth and her family for looking after Heidi so well. Heidi seemed very relaxed and happy with them. I was sent lots of updates and photos and Heidi was taken on some lovely walks. I'd be very happy to use Ruth again.”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and love animals (unless they are rodents!) Ive had experience from 5 week old pups all the way to caring for dogs in their senior years, giving medication, insulin injections etc. After losing our beloved 16 year old Patterdale last year, it’s left a big hole and as much as we don’t feel ready to bring another dog into our lives just yet, I’m certainly missing my dog fix. My dog came before everything - just ask my husband! 🤣 And I will treat yours no different. We are an early rising household so you can drop off as early as you like. We are an active house. I work from home so generally will be able to accommodate walks and feeding at their usual times so not to disrupt their routines. There will be times when I need to go out so a dog that is happy to be left for a couple of hours would fit in nicely but if this isn’t possible I can probably work around it with some notice. Daycare and overnight boarding is available and we are central Yeovil based and easy to find. We have a reasonable size garden with grass and patio, with a mix of sun and shade. The garden is fully secure. Within walking distance of the house there is a small field, a park and plenty of pavement walks. Ham Hill Country Park is only a short drive away so if you’d like them walked here your dog will need to be crate trained for the car journey. All walks will be done on a lead for all of our peace of mind! Inside the house it’s open plan living so your dog will have the run of the ground floor with the exception of my treatment room. The upstairs will remain out of bounds.
“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.”


“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,”

“Our 8 month old pup stayed here recently and had the best time. She came home tired and happy. Wonderful large enclosed garden and lovely people. Have already recommended and looking to rebook for October. Thank you so much for having Mabel ?”

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!
