“Ying is a fantastic dog sitter. She looked after Alfie for 3 weeks whilst we went on holiday. We knew that Alfie was in good hands for the entire duration. Ying provided occasional updates on Alfie's wellbeing which was great for us to know. I will definitely use Ying to look after our Alfie again & would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter in the area.”

“Rachael is super friendly, absolutely adores the dogs, and spends lots of time playing with them and making sure they’re as comfortable as can be. Eddie had an amazing couple of weeks, loved every walk, and came home happily worn out. I don’t think he wanted to come home! Rachael sent me loads of photos every day so I was always able to see how much fun Eddie was having with her and her lovely dog.I'll definitely be booking with Rachael again 🙂”


“Maria and her partner are just top quality people and the service they had provided was top quality. I was going away to London for a celebration, they invited us over the evening before I was due to go away so Benny could explore there home and meet who he’s going to spend a couple of days with straight away it was clear Benny was going to be very happy. I dropped Benny of early the next morning Maria and her partner took Benny straight out on a walk and he loved every minute of his little trip. Maria sent me frequent updates with how Benny was going along with photos and videos. Benny was very settled and very happy with the care he received. Would recommend 100% highly and would use Maria again. Top quality care. Thank you again for everything.”

“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.”

“Ruth and her family took such great care of Baxter for us. He’s a very energetic dog and Ruth took him for some lovely walks and made him feel like part of their family. Their house and garden are very dog friendly and secure and they have access to some lovely areas for walks.”

“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)”

“Thanks, David, for taking such good care of Rolo overnight. We really appreciated the extra effort you made during the heatwave, especially getting up early to walk him before the day warmed up. It was great to receive updates and know he was happy, comfortable, and well looked after. We’d be very happy for Rolo to stay with you again.”

“Rocky seemed very at home at Sam's! He was a happy dog and looked very much that he enjoyed his stay. I would definitely book Sam again and would thoroughly recommend her.”

“Niels provided excellent care for our dog Henry. He had great communication from the start and was very accommodating to slight changes in pick up and drop off times. Would certainly recommend Niels and will likely use his boarding services in the future”


“Hanna and her family were brilliant with our dog Milo. He seemed so happy with her and she sent us lots of updates of his stay. A big thank you for making him so welcome.”

“An absolutely amazing experience right from enquiry. Couldn't ask for more. Communication was great all through, with pictures and videos. Harper seemed very at ease and happy too. I would use agai and recommend.”

“Sam was very good with Heidi, being calm and relaxed with her, which would have made her feel less worried about being left. She seemed content and happy when I picked her up. Sam communicated well when arranging drop-off and pick-up and sent some photos. I would be happy to use Sam 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! 🐾”

“Between Sophie and I we had good communication, she sent lots of update messages and George seemed tired when he came home. Ours was an overnight stay, dropping off on Saturday and collecting on Sunday, George seemed very happy to be left in Sophie's care.”


“Angelika was fantastic. She was available shorr notice, accomodating of delays due to traffic and our dog settled really quick and had a great time. Angelika kept us updated with plenty of pics and videos and would highly recommend her.”

“This was the first time I had left Olive overnight with someone other than my family and to say I was nervous is an understatement. I needn't have worried at all, Sue took exceptional care of Olive. I recieved photos and videos of Olive along with messages from Sue letting me know how she was getting on. Olive got lots of cuddles and seems to have settled in really well. Sue had even cleaned her food and water bowls for me, it's a small detail but it shows how much effort she went to. I will definitely be booking Olive with Sue again. Thank you!”

Thanks, David, for taking such good care of Rolo overnight. We really appreciated the extra effort you made during the heatwave, especially getting up early to walk him before the day warmed up. It was great to receive updates and know he was happy, comfortable, and well looked after. We’d be very happy for Rolo to stay with you again.

We are so happy that we found Gabby to look after our 9 month puppy! Communication was great from the start with quick replies to our messages and during the stay we were provided with lots of photos and videos which clearly showed our pup was having a great time! Gabby is very professional, responsible and clearly loves dogs. She was quick to establish a good relationship with our puppy and we were confident leaving him in her care. Her home has lovely grounds for the dogs to relax in and play. The river access was a huge hit with our water loving Labrador! All in all a brilliant first experience. We wouldn’t hesitate to use Gabby again or recommend to others. Thank you 😊
