“Maria and her partner have looked after benny for a second time whilst we went away for a few days to wales. Again highly recommend great communication kept up to date about any updates being sent photos and videos to show what Benny gets up to he has made a few new friends since being with Maria. 100% top care and top service. Wouldnt have any doubts leaving benny with the lovely family.”

“Angela and her family looked after my dog Captain for the weekend and did an amazing job. He seemed to settle with them well and enjoyed his time with the family. Angela sent over plenty of updates and photos and was really quick to reply to messages. A huge thank you from myself and Captain (aka Pirate)”

“I collected Molly today after a 2 week stay with Will. She seemed happy and like her normal self. I was pleased to hear she had been on lots of adventures & would like to thank Will for all the photos he provide of her. Thanks”

“Kate looked after Olive and Martin for a week and was amazing from start to finish! We had a meetup before the booking to have a chat and see if it would be a good fit for them to stay and I instantly felt it was the right home for them whilst I was away. Kate kept in regular contact and I had lovely photos showing my doggies looking very happy. They were treated like part of the family with top notch care. Would not hesitate to recommend and will be booking again for sure myself...thankyou so much Kate!”

“Samantha immediately made us feel at ease and we knew our dog Summer was in good hands. Its obvious that she is a dog lover. Summer had a great week and she came home looking well and happy.”


About: With over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and a wide variety of animals, I bring a lifelong dedication to animal welfare and wellbeing. I spent 10 years living and working on a farm with boarding kennels, where I was deeply involved in the daily care, feeding, exercise, and monitoring of animals in both home and professional settings. My passion for animals has been a constant throughout my life, reflected not only in my work but also in always having my own cats and dogs. I am confident, compassionate, and attentive to the individual needs of each animal, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for at all times. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I am around all day, which allows me to make sure pets always have access to fresh food and water. I regularly provide walks, playtime, and attention to keep them active and happy, while also monitoring their overall wellbeing. If medication is needed, I can administer it on schedule, and I am comfortable maintaining any training routines to encourage good behavior and consistency. Overall, I make pet care a priority by ensuring pets are safe, comfortable, exercised, and well cared for throughout the day. I provide a safe, trustworthy, and caring environment where pets can feel comfortable and secure while in my care. I have a good-sized fenced garden for outdoor time and exercise, with woods just behind my home as well as plenty of nearby fields and coastal walks that are perfect for dogs who enjoy exploring and staying active. I understand how important it is for owners to feel confident leaving their pets with someone reliable, and I always aim to give pets the same attention and care they would receive at home. I am also happy to come to your home if preferred, helping pets stay relaxed in a familiar environment and maintain their normal routine.
“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 ?”

“Piotr was brilliant with our spaniel Lucky who has some separation anxiety. We received regular updates and photos of our happy and relaxed pup having a great time. He clearly enjoyed his stay with Piotr and his lovely family. We would no doubt book again when next in town. Thank you!”

“Bruno made himself at home as soon as he arrived and we were immediately reassured he was in the best hands. Rachael updated us everyday with pictures. Bruno didn’t want to come home and seemed very sad to leave! Will be booking Rachael again for sure 😊”

“Cashew had the most wonderful time with Allana, he was sad to see her go when he was dropped off. Allana kept me updated throughout his stay. I had no doubt he was being well looked after and will have no hesitation at all about booking him in with Allana again.”

“I can’t recommend Sophie enough! Twiglet had such a wonderful time and got on brilliantly with Ali, her lovely Border Collie. I think she’s already missing her new friend! 🐾”

“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”

“Deborah was great with Buster, taking him on a great walk and making him comfortable in her home. He was realyl relaxed and settled, and Deborah kept me updated through the day. Many thanks Deborah.”

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.

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!
