“Kirsty was amazing with our big softie Lexi. Clearly very well looked after and Lexi had a great time loving all the attention and belly rubs. Kirsty sends regular pictures and updates which was great. Would 100% leave Lexi with Kirsty again if needed.”
“Eva loved her stay with Savannah and Saj. Eva is a bit nervous but they are so lovely she settled quickly. They are professional and thorough, finding out Eva’s likes and dislikes- we felt confident leaving Eva in their care. We got some lovely photos of Eva getting cuddles and playing with the other gentle dog. She came back happy and relaxed. We would highly recommend Savannah and Saj.”

About: I have always been brought up with some kind of fur baby. I have a Frenchie who I adopted. She had such a hard start to life. Being with me, she has found her safe space and knows love. I know when she wants to be left alone or whether she wants to be held and given lots of attention. I am here to ensure that your pet is not only taken care of, but also feels excited coming to see me. My job allows me to be very flexible to ensure your fur baby/babies are well taken care of. Whether it’s a full day at home needed or an hour walk out, I can work around each pets need. I have a small garden. However, I usually take the fur babies out on a long walk regardless if it rains or shines! A little mud never harms anyone.

“Our little Narla spent the day with Michelle & Ronny & absolutely loved it, she had loads of fun with Ronny, she just loves company. Would highly recommend Michelle 🌟 🌟”
About: I have cared for animals from the age of 11, when my parents set up boarding kennels, I lived and breathed the company of the dogs we cared for. As well as many years experience working at the kennels, I am always first choice for friends and family who need pet care or walks whether they are at work, going on holiday or just too busy that particular day. They all know I prefer animals over humans and don’t take it personally! I’m currently taking a break from work and can look after your fur babies every day and overnight if required, either at my home or theirs. I am available for walks every day or even just company and belly rubs if that’s all your baby needs. I have a private fenced garden and your pets will be in the safest hands. I have a 3 year old Labrador who could be great company for your fur baby, Willow loves to swim at any opportunity and run in the fields, rain or shine, day or night and sometimes all day!
About: I'm an experienced dog, cat (and giant snail!) owner. I'm a very outdoorsy person, spending my spare time hill walking and exploring the estate I live on with my two dogs. I have experience administering medication such as injecting insulin in cats, looking after senior animals as well as puppies and kittens. I live on a large estate perfect for dog walking and boarding. I have a car so can easily drive to your home if needed. I work from home and have regular breaks to walk your furry friend. My work is flexible so I can usually fit in drop in visits and walks. Every morning, afternoon and evening your dog will be walked on the estate, with plenty of interesting places to explore, including a woodland, loch, walled garden and fields. I live on a sprawling country estate, whilst my garden is unfenced your dog will always be supervised and leashed if needed. My cottage is not near the road so is very safe. In the cottage they will have the run of our kitchen and living room, with a wood fired stove and sofa.
About: Me and my husky Eska are excited to welcome your dog into our home! I have experience living in a family with six dogs over the years, of varying breeds, from puppy to elderly. I make sure to prioritise Eska, and will treat any dog i’m looking after with the same care and attention - this means lots of walks and cuddles! I am a freelance designer, and very flexible. I have plenty of time to walk your dog, encourage play time with toys and any other care that may be required. My home is clean, tidy and free of hazards. I have full access to a fully fenced dog park for off-lead exercise. I have space for multiple dogs to be cared for, including overnight.
“Jazmin was great and will definitely be looking to book her again. It was our first time leaving our 5 month old pup Cooper and she was great. Sent loads of photos and he looked to be having a great time, think he was a bit disappointed when I brought him home. Really friendly, met up beforehand just to get a feel, delighted she was happy to look after him as he has that typical puppy energy at the moment. Thanks again!”

Holly C.Star Sitter
“Holly has my two dogs, a dalmatian and a cokerpoo - so both extremely energetic, 3 days a week from 8am until 5.30 pm when I finish work. My dogs love going to Hollys each day and get excited jumping into the car knowing they are off to day care. She treats them just as if they were her own, they get lots of exercise, fuss, attention love and I am fairly sure treats to boot. I wouldn't trust anyone other than Holly to take care of Argo and Bailey for me.”

Rebecca D.
“I’ve had the pleasure of seeing Rebecca care for pets firsthand, and I can honestly say she is one of the most attentive and loving animal caretakers I’ve known. Whether it's feeding, walking, grooming, or simply spending quality time with animals, they approach each task with patience and genuine affection. She has helped care for my own pets on multiple occasions, and I’ve always felt completely confident leaving them in her hands. My pets adore her and it's easy to see why. Rebecca has a calm, reliable presence that animals naturally respond to. She is also very responsible, always making sure routines are followed, medications are given when needed, and any special needs are met. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pets like family, I wholeheartedly recommend Rebecca. You won’t find someone more trustworthy or compassionate. Sincerely, Stacey Louden”

She is very caring, making sure my dog gets lots of cuddles and love. You can be sure your dog will be well cared for when you chose her to dog sit for you.”
Elizabeth M.
“Elizabeth has always been caring and kind towards all animals, but particularly dogs. This includes sponsoring guide dogs and rescue dogs overseas, to now having her own rescue dog, which she has provided a lovely home to. Elizabeth is very active and enjoys getting out and about, walking and hiking. She also has a calm disposition, positive energy, and she is very trustworthy and reliable.”
