“5-Star Review for Our Amazing Dog Sitter! I can't say enough good things about our experience with Ruben! From the moment we met, it was clear that he truly love and understand dogs. Our baby Chino can be a little shy around new people, but they bonded almost instantly. That alone gave us such peace of mind. Throughout the stay, Ruben sent regular updates, including pictures and videos that showed Chino happy, relaxed, and clearly enjoying their time. Playtime looked like a blast! If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely caring, we wholeheartedly recommend Ruben. He is the kind of person you hope to find but rarely do. We'll definitely be booking again!”

About: I have taken care for dogs, cats and different kind of animals since I was a child. I am just loving them. I had 2 little dogs but unfortunately they recently passed away. I am not ready at all for a new dog but I would love to have some company this is why I have decided to become a dogsitter. I am currently a stay at home mama, so I am available weekdays and weekend as well. I can give company and keep on eye of your doggy. I have a fenced yard. But your pet can obviously come to my house and stay in if needed anytime. I have a cat also who goes out several times a day.

“Paddy loved his days with Nadya! With him being so young I was anxious about leaving him with anyone! But after a meet and great with Nadya she was just the person I felt comfortable to leave Paddington with! He is looking forward to his regular day care come January! Couldn’t recommend her enough!”


“Kirsty & Dan (& Benji!) are 5⭐️ - Our pup Barney absolutely loves going to see them. It’s like a home from home for him. He loves spending time there and playing with Benji. They are very attentive to his needs and I instantly felt comfortable leaving Barney with them. Can’t recommend highly enough.”


About: I grew up in a family of animals lovers, we always had 5 dogs minimum at home and I’ve studied to become a vet. I’ve always have a special love and connection with animals, that’s why it’s so easy for me to look after them. You can make sure your furry friend will be in really good hands! And if you want me to give me a good nice therapeutic massage, just let me know! Me and my partner, work from home, so we can take care of any pet 24 hrs. we have a big fenced garden that pets can use how they like whenever they want Pets at home are free to move around, go wherever they like. I work from home and my little office is right next to the back door so pets always have the option to go out to the garden if they like Garden is fenced and protected

“Nina always has an amazing time with Melanie. I was really happy to hear that Nina is also doing well with her heel walking with Melanie as I was worried that she might be overactive. It’s our second time using Melanie for the day care and we will definitely be using her again :)”


About: I've looked after dogs from Yorkshire Terriers to German Shepherds and a whole mixture of cats for many years. These have been from puppies/kittens to the more seniors. Friends and family have entrusted me with their pets and they are always treated as part of the family. I am retired following 18 years in the NHS and now enjoy walking in the countryside or on the beach, theatre, sport and music. I am at home for the majority of the day as I only have pet commitments, which is why I am able to offer this service. I currently have a 7 year old Yorkshire Terrier, a 3 year old cross Shih-tzu/Yorkshire Terrier and a 14 year old rescue cat. I have the forest right on my doorstep and enjoy walking with them there. I'm also a very short drive from the beach which is another favourite. If your dog enjoys playing ball or carrying sticks, then rest assured, their needs will be catered for. Whatever your requirements are for your pet/s, I will gladly accommodate them and even go the extra mile! I'm also willing to change litter trays, water plants and put the bins out.

“July the 1st was Mykie's initial experience at the doggy daycare run by Stephen. Stephen is an exceptionally friendly and upbeat person. Stephen took care of Mykie, who evidently relished Stephen's presence. Additionally, Stephen shared a couple of photos of Mykie during his stay, which reassures us of his well-being. We are certainly planning to arrange home boarding with Stephen in the near future.”
