“Steve and his family were delightful and gave Maimie a lovely ‘home from home’ stay. Steve couldn’t have been more helpful. He gave us confidence from the moment we met him and his lovely dog Laszlo. He was a great communicator and sent through lovely updates and pictures while we were away. Best of all he clearly loves and understands dogs. It’s so great to find someone who is clearly adored by his canine friends! Thanks Steve and family!”
“Amanda and her family looked after our Frenchie really well. I had lots of lovely updates and pictures too. He enjoyed all the cuddles. We wouldn’t hesitate to send him to stay again :)) x”
“Athinoula has been absolutely brilliant in looking after our mini dachshund whilst we were away for our wedding 💍 we were given constant updates, reassuring us he was having the best time! Would highly recommend for anyone looking for a loving family to look after their pooch 😊 thank you so much!”
About: I have been around animals all my life and was lucky enough to grow up with dogs, cats, horses, rabbits and hamsters- to name a few. I am a very loving, relaxed and laidback pet owner and love being around animals. I happily share my sofa and bed with my pets, so if that is something your dog would like, they would feel right at home when staying with me. My dog Oscar is a friendly and playful British bulldog and I also have 2 x 10 year old cats so any dog visiting would have friends to play with. I also have experience looking after puppies as well as older dogs. I work 4 long day a week but am free over the weekends to look after your dog. I generally walk Oscar once a day for an hour but sometimes he gets an additional half hour walk as well so can easily offer this for your dog. I have a large enclosed garden and space in the house to keep any dog separate from Oscar at nighttime if needed. There is also space for a crate if you prefer your dog to sleep in a crate.
“Ivana and her family get on so well with our dog Brian and we never have concerns leaving him there. They go out of their way to ensure they understand his needs, and accept his nature, which often involves time spent on his own. They give him his own space when he requires it and welcome him into their own lives when he's ready each day. We really appreciate the care and attention they give Brian and have a repeat booking in the calendar which is the highest praise.”
“Tereza was a brilliant host for our dog Rossi. She is super-calm and immediately won over Rossi. She was great with communications and sent loads of photos. 100% recommended!”
“Five stars isn't enough for Sotiria! She took care of our dog, Bandit, during the bank holiday, and she was absolutely brilliant. Professional, caring, and Bandit clearly adored her. Kept us well updated and sent lots of cute pictures as well! We're so grateful and will definitely be using her again!”
“Bethany really looked after our cockapoo well, he was welcomed into their home and we were kept updated with regular pictures. He looked right at home! 💙. I would definitely trust her to look after him again. Thank you.”
“Victoria did a fantastic job looking after coco . He is being very well cared for and he seems very calm and happy when we picked him after our holiday . I will be using Victoria services again and highly recommend her .”
“Dimitra and her husband Leonard looked after our Dog Loki for 2 days Incl overnight. They were great hosts from start to finish, helped to get Loki settled in and sent regular updates throught his stay. They were also extremely flexible with picking up and dropping off times. We'd highly recommend them to look after your dog.”
“Molly recently had her trial day with Ann and her husband and loved being with them. Ann’s attention to detail with Mollys routine was exceptional and she came home a happy little doggy. Her next stay is already booked and I know I can go on holiday feeling reassured she will get the best love and care that she does at home. Thanks both.”
“I left Sheru with Polly for a month. Unfortunately, our flight was cancelled due to the ongoing county conflict and I couldn’t pick him up after the end of the period. I was really worried about him and didn’t know what to do. I was also concerned about where to leave him as Polly had another appointment. I asked Polly if she could extend the booking and keep Sheru with her. Finally she agreed, we were relieved. She regularly updates me and sends his pictures. I truly appreciate her help and the way she’s taking care of my pet.”
“We had a great experience with Maria taking care of our potato, Rupert. She was responsible, communicative, and very loving toward him. It was clear that Rupert felt comfortable and happy with her. Maria gave us great peace of mind while we were away, and we would absolutely trust her again in the future.”
“Julia was absolutely amazing with Safia ❤️ From the very beginning, she was caring, attentive, communicative, and incredibly thoughtful. She kept me updated throughout the stay with detailed messages about walks, food, water, playtime, and how Safia was doing emotionally, which gave me so much peace of mind, and the most thorough report about her day. She even washed and dried Safia’s blanket after a little accident without hesitation, such a kind gesture that truly shows how much she cares! Safia clearly felt comfortable and loved with Julia and her family, and it made me so happy to hear how well she got along with everyone 😊 I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better person. I would trust Julia again without a second thought and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, warm, patient, and genuinely loving with dogs. Thank you again for taking such wonderful care of Safia 🐾”
“Paula was a very caring and loving boarder looking after Jed for 10 days. Jed had a great time , plenty of walks and even a trip to the seaside. Paula sent plenty of messages and lovely photos. I couldn’t have picked a better person to care for Jed. Would definitely use Paula again. Thanks Paula .”
“Wallace had a lovely time with Robert and his family, we had lots of updates and pictures of Wallace making himself right at home with them! We’ll definitely be asking Robert and his family to look after Wallace again - a big thank you from us all.”
“Milena looked after my dog Kara for a day & night and I couldn’t have asked for better care. She sent me plenty of updates and photos throughout, which gave me real peace of mind. Kara had a wonderful time playing with her dog Sky and her kids, and got lots of cuddles too. Kara is double-coated so struggles in the heat, it was 28 degrees so I was especially impressed that Milena was so thoughtful- she used a cooling blanket and even gave her some frozen blueberries and watermelon to keep Kara comfortable. It’s clear Milena genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. I’d happily leave Kara with her again and would recommend her without hesitation”

About: I grew up with many cats, from the age of 3 until today. My first cat, Scampi, I had for 20 years from age 3-23 and we had many more through out that time. My current lovely cat babies are Leonardo DiCatrio (Leo) and Norma Jean. I have been looking after my sister’s cockapoo puppy for almost a year now when she is away and friends have relied on me to look after their dogs many times throughout the years. I have experience with small dogs such as a Jack Russell, medium dogs like my friend’s Australian Shepherd and Golden Retriever, as well as big dogs like Rottweilers. I have always been an animal lover and with my parents, we have fostered around 50 pregnant, injured or orphaned kitties for the rspca in their transitional period (from rescue until they are ready to find their forever home) ❤️ I am also used to administering oral medication and eye drops I have a flexible working schedule with work from home often an option and sometimes work evening events meaning I can care for pets both in the day and in the evening. I always make sure pets have access to a secure and familiar space so that they have a place to go to feel safe. I am calm, quiet and confident with pets and always willing to be patient with a pet as I am a new person coming into their home and recognise that this can be scary for them.
“Steven has been very reassuring and has put our minds at ease. He gave us regular updates with photos throughout the day without asking. Winnie had a wonderful time considering it was a new environment for her. Could not reccomend Steven enough for his professional and friendly service ☺️”
“When we had an event in the area we left our golden retriever Loki, with Dimitri and her family for the day. Dimitri met with us the before to ensure everyone was comfortable. It was clear from the start that Loki was in the best hands. We got photo updates all day and it was clear he had the best time. Cuddles with the family, exploring the garden, a long walk in the countryside, a trip to the beer garden and all the treats a pup could wish for. We wish we lived closer! We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to anyone. Thank you again Dimitra and family!”

About: Animals have held a special place in my heart since childhood. As a teenager, I volunteered at a shelter, walking dogs, cleaning their spaces, and simply being there for them when they needed it most. Those experiences taught me empathy, responsibility, and a deep understanding of dogs’ needs. For 17 years, I shared my life with a wonderful dog who was not just a pet, but my best friend and a true member of the family. Losing her was incredibly difficult, but it also reminded me how meaningful and powerful the bond between humans and animals can be. Today, together with my family, I share my home with our dog Sky, who fills our lives with love, joy, and warmth. She is my everyday companion and makes each day brighter. Two years ago, I had the beautiful experience of helping her bring eight puppies into the world. I cared for her and the puppies around the clock, ensuring they were safe, healthy, and loved. It was truly a special and unforgettable time, and I’m happy to say that all the puppies found caring homes—and we still keep in touch with their families. I truly love spending time with animals and enjoy long walks, especially at sunset. I treat every dog with the same care, attention, and affection as if they were my own.🫶 am currently not working, which means I have plenty of time to give your pets the attention, care, and playtime they deserve. I’m available throughout the day and can easily adapt to your pet’s routine. I also offer overnight stays 7 days a week, ensuring your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for at all times. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a large, secure garden where your pet can safely play, explore, and relax. They’ll also enjoy daily playtime with my dog, Sky, who is gentle, well-socialized, and very friendly with both people and other animals. She’s a wonderful companion and loves having new friends around. At the same time, I understand that some pets may need their own space, so my home offers a calm and comfortable environment where your pet can rest and unwind whenever they need.
“I honestly can’t thank Elly enough for taking such amazing care of Albert. He’s a Border Collie x Lab and quite a nervous dog, and this was the first time he’s ever been left away from me, so I was really anxious about it. Elly was absolutely brilliant from start to finish – so patient, kind and understanding with him. I got regular updates and photos which really put my mind at ease, and it was clear Albert was in safe hands. When I picked him up after Monday to Friday, he was happy, settled and comfortable, which says everything. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Elly to anyone, especially if you have a nervous dog. I’ll definitely be booking again!”
“Yudi and her husband have been absolutely fantastic with Lizzie! Yudi agreed to help us with Lizzie from very early in the morning up which we appreciated a lot, she kept us informed and sent us pictures of Lizzie throughout the day when staying with them 😍 Lizzie was always happy in the morning to go to their place and had the best time with their other two dogs! We'll definitely rebook with them in the future, thanks again for the help!”
About: We have always had dogs. I love taking care of them (and if I could I would have 100)! Whether it’s energetic pups who love long walks, senior dogs who need a gentler pace, or shy pets who require patience and reassurance, I adapt my care to each dog’s unique needs. I understand the importance of trust when it comes to your furry family member, so I treat every pet as if they were my own. I am currently working full-time so my flexibility is limited through week days. However I am fully flexible on weekends and more than happy to take care of any furry angels! I live by myself in a flat which is spacious enough for small and medium dogs. We have a backyard where the dog can play and I love taking the dogs on walks. No one will be involved in dogs’ care but me.
About: I have many years of hands-on experience caring for animals, both through volunteering at an animal shelter and privately for friends and family. Working with animals has always been an important part of my life – something I truly enjoy and find deeply rewarding. I currently dedicate most of my free time to animals, simply because I love their company and genuinely care about their well-being. As a student with a flexible schedule, I have plenty of time to spend with the pets I look after. I understand how important routine, attention, and patience are when it comes to animal care. Each pet is unique, and I always do my best to understand their personality and needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and at ease in my care. Your pet will have full access to my home. I also have a quiet, private room where pets can relax whenever they need their own space – a great balance between comfort and calm. Whether it’s an energetic dog that needs long walks or a shy cat who prefers a cozy corner, I adapt to what makes each animal feel best.
“My dog Leah settled in really quickly with Megan and I felt completely at ease leaving her with her. She sometimes can bark at new people or take a while to warm up but she didn't at all. Would definitely recommend Megan and ask her to have Leah again!”
About: I’ve had pets since childhood — including dogs, cats, and rabbits — from energetic puppies to senior animals who need extra patience, care, and attention. For me, pets are family, and that’s exactly how I care for them: with love, respect, and dedication. I have hands-on experience with feeding, medication, hygiene, and understanding animal behavior, always adjusting to each pet’s individual needs. I’m passionate about animals and truly believe in the unconditional love they give us. For me, caring for them is a joy — and also a great responsibility that I carry out with the affection they deserve. I work flexible hours for a company based in another country, which allows me to take on walks or pet visits at scheduled times without any problem. During the week, I’m available in the mornings or after I pick up my daughter from school, which is also a great time for park visits and walks. I’m available to care for pets both during the week and on weekends, including for longer periods if needed, always with love, responsibility, and full attention. When I care for a pet in their own home, I always respect their space and routine, following the owner's instructions closely to keep everything as familiar and stress-free as possible. I'm very mindful of safety — paying close attention to doors, gates, windows, and anything that could pose a risk. During walks, I always keep pets on a leash and go at their pace, ensuring they feel comfortable and secure. I value open communication with pet owners and provide regular updates, photos, and notes so they feel confident and at ease while I’m with their pets. For me, the animal’s safety, comfort, and well-being always come first.

I will always follow the instructions and requirements given by owners. I understand the level of trust placed by owners to anyone they entrust the care of their beloved pet or their home environment and therefore understand that communication is vital. I will always give a report about the walk / check in and will update owners on any injury or out of the ordinary behaviour. My vast experience permits me to recognise canine and feline body language paying attention to the small details.
“The lovely Nadia, and her equally lovely daughter, walked Stan for me this morning, and did such a great job! It was my first time using this app, and she really put me at ease.

I'll definitely be hiring Nadia again, and would highly recommend her services! Stanley has 2 new best friends :)”

As life always been obsessed with animals and had them in my life I want to fill my spare time caring for and giving pets lots of love while making sure their owners can go about their day knowing their pets are taken care of. I know my jobs months in advance and am very flexible I’m very easily adaptable to owners homes and their/their pets specific needs. I know myself pets can have very specific things needed for their routine which is one of the reasons I love their personalities cause of these lil quirks! So Whatever niche thing your pets need I’m more than happy to do for them!

“Steve and his family were delightful and gave Maimie a lovely ‘home from home’ stay. Steve couldn’t have been more helpful. He gave us confidence from the moment we met him and his lovely dog Laszlo. He was a great communicator and sent through lovely updates and pictures while we were away. Best of all he clearly loves and understands dogs. It’s so great to find someone who is clearly adored by his canine friends! Thanks Steve and family!”
“Amanda and her family looked after our Frenchie really well. I had lots of lovely updates and pictures too. He enjoyed all the cuddles. We wouldn’t hesitate to send him to stay again :)) x”
About: I have been around animals all my life and was lucky enough to grow up with dogs, cats, horses, rabbits and hamsters- to name a few. I am a very loving, relaxed and laidback pet owner and love being around animals. I happily share my sofa and bed with my pets, so if that is something your dog would like, they would feel right at home when staying with me. My dog Oscar is a friendly and playful British bulldog and I also have 2 x 10 year old cats so any dog visiting would have friends to play with. I also have experience looking after puppies as well as older dogs. I work 4 long day a week but am free over the weekends to look after your dog. I generally walk Oscar once a day for an hour but sometimes he gets an additional half hour walk as well so can easily offer this for your dog. I have a large enclosed garden and space in the house to keep any dog separate from Oscar at nighttime if needed. There is also space for a crate if you prefer your dog to sleep in a crate.
“Bethany really looked after our cockapoo well, he was welcomed into their home and we were kept updated with regular pictures. He looked right at home! 💙. I would definitely trust her to look after him again. Thank you.”
“Dimitra and her husband Leonard looked after our Dog Loki for 2 days Incl overnight. They were great hosts from start to finish, helped to get Loki settled in and sent regular updates throught his stay. They were also extremely flexible with picking up and dropping off times. We'd highly recommend them to look after your dog.”
“I left Sheru with Polly for a month. Unfortunately, our flight was cancelled due to the ongoing county conflict and I couldn’t pick him up after the end of the period. I was really worried about him and didn’t know what to do. I was also concerned about where to leave him as Polly had another appointment. I asked Polly if she could extend the booking and keep Sheru with her. Finally she agreed, we were relieved. She regularly updates me and sends his pictures. I truly appreciate her help and the way she’s taking care of my pet.”
“Julia was absolutely amazing with Safia ❤️ From the very beginning, she was caring, attentive, communicative, and incredibly thoughtful. She kept me updated throughout the stay with detailed messages about walks, food, water, playtime, and how Safia was doing emotionally, which gave me so much peace of mind, and the most thorough report about her day. She even washed and dried Safia’s blanket after a little accident without hesitation, such a kind gesture that truly shows how much she cares! Safia clearly felt comfortable and loved with Julia and her family, and it made me so happy to hear how well she got along with everyone 😊 I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better person. I would trust Julia again without a second thought and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, warm, patient, and genuinely loving with dogs. Thank you again for taking such wonderful care of Safia 🐾”
“Milena looked after my dog Kara for a day & night and I couldn’t have asked for better care. She sent me plenty of updates and photos throughout, which gave me real peace of mind. Kara had a wonderful time playing with her dog Sky and her kids, and got lots of cuddles too. Kara is double-coated so struggles in the heat, it was 28 degrees so I was especially impressed that Milena was so thoughtful- she used a cooling blanket and even gave her some frozen blueberries and watermelon to keep Kara comfortable. It’s clear Milena genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. I’d happily leave Kara with her again and would recommend her without hesitation”
“Sharon took wonderful care of my dog, Ari. She really took the time to understand Ari’s needs and made sure he felt comfortable and happy during his stay. Her communication was good. Sharon kept me updated throughout, which gave me great peace of mind. I’m grateful for the care she provided, and I will definitely continue to use Sharon’s services in the future. Highly recommend!”
“I can’t recommend Dipali and her husband enough! They were absolute lifesavers when our original dog sitter canceled on us last minute, just before our holiday to Morocco. Despite never having met us or Pablo before, they kindly agreed to take him in without a meet-and-greet, and at such short notice. From the moment my brother dropped Pablo off on Friday evening until we picked him up on Tuesday, Dipali and her husband provided the most loving and attentive care. They kept me updated with regular photos and messages, which gave me total peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that Pablo felt completely at home—he was so happy and comfortable that he’s actually crying the front door wanting to go back! Dipali and her husband truly have a passion for dogs, and their kindness and dedication shine through in the way they care for them. I’m beyond grateful for their help and will definitely be booking with them again. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Pablo!xx”
“Amba had a fab first stay with Courtney and Chris. She was very well looked after and communication was great with updates and pics shared too. Narla and Bonnie are lovely and friendly cockapoos and Amba got on well with both of them. Thanks so much for looking after my Amba :)”
“Lola had a wonderful stay with Liga and was really made to feel part of the family. She was clearly very settled when we returned to collect her - I wondered if she even wanted to come home! Liga sent regular updates and photos of Lola whilst we were away, which kept our minds at ease during this first time of leaving her. Would absolutely book again! Thank you Liga and family ❤️”
“Welcoming dog boarder with a great environment for our dog, company of other four legged friends, people around and walks to enjoy. Kathryn is knowledgeable and experienced, so we’re hoping for our dog it can be a home from home when we go away.”
“Eugene had the best time! Thoroughly spoilt and looked after so well! Both Konrad and his partner a clearly dog lovers who really know their stuff! They took on board all the little details and quirks about Eugene's behaviour and sent lots of updates, messages, photos and videos. Would highly recommend. If I could give higher than 5* I would.”
“Maria home boarded our Labrador and she was absolutely fantastic! Very knowledgeable, caring, calm and you can instantly tell she loves animals! Our lab had the best weekend meeting new doggy friends and playing. Maria is fantastic at giving regular updates and responded immediately to any questions you have! We have definitely found our new home boarder in Maria. Thankyou”
“Richard and Bee looked after Chowie like as though she was their own - and that's as high of a compliment as I can pay! Never once did we feel uneasy or anxious while Chowie was with them, and that serves as a testament to how caring, thoughtful and loving they were. Always great at providing regular updates with messages, photos and videos too - the cherry on top! We will definitely be keen to rely on Richard and Bee again in the future, and I know Chowie is definitely looking forward to seeing them again too!”
