Max had a brilliant few days stay with Kirsty. She took him on lovely country walks, played with him in the garden, provided loads of stimulation, looked after him as if he were her own, snuggled with him, and coped with his boundless excitability and energy. We cannot thank her enough for providing a real home from home and looking after him so well. We were provided with loads of great photos of Max and lots of updates about what he was up to and how he was. We would not hesitate to thoroughly recommend Kristy’s services, and will definitely be back again next year.

Lexie what’s a great Sitter for our dog Parker. She offered to come and meet him beforehand so she could get to know him and his needs. She sent photos while we were away and he seemed very happy and comfortable there. Would use again.

It was the first time for Reggie being away from home and he absolutely loved his time spent with Savannah and Sarge. Communication was great. The photos were amazing! Would highly recommend Savannah and Sarge.

About: I have recently started a new job and keen to kick start this account again😊 I have had dogs my whole life, starting with labradors and now border terriers. I am a young, fit individual who loves going on walks and spending time with dogs. My own dog Teddy has epilepsy so I am able to manage dogs with medical conditions well. I have access to a car and can drive to any appointments🚘 Please don’t hesitate to message any questions. I currently work full time through a shift schedule. However I often have spare time on my hands during days off on which I would love to go a walk or help out other dog owners. When in someone else’s home I will respect any instructions given to me. I I can bring my own dog on walks (if wanted) to keep company.

Amy made us feel so comfortable with leaving our dogs with her. She was easily able to follow our dogs routines ( medication, allergy accommodations, specialized diets) and provided us with cute pictures and updates every day. She was so communicative and our dogs loved playing in the backyard and being part of her pack! We feel so much more comfortable going on vacations now, knowing they are in Amy’s care.

Natalia, Jordan and Bonnie the dog we're amazing looking after our old boy Ozzy. I was really anxious leaving him somewhere he wasn't familiar with, but after speaking with Natalia, it immediately put me at ease. We received regular updates, photos and videos which showed us that Ozzy was absolutely fine. I would use Natalia again in a heartbeat. Thank you so much for looking after him. I'm sure Ozzy will miss Bonnie too 🤩.

Sarah was great, very friendly, accommodating and herself and her family were lovely with Mollie our 10 year old golden doodle. Her property whilst smaller, was secure and fenced. Her 2 year old was boisterous at first but soon settled. Sarah's son and daughter took to Mollie immediately and thus more stokes and cuddles. Sarah sent regular photos to keep us informed and happy that Mollie was safe and enjoying her stay. All good.
