“We did a last minute booking with Ebru because we had an important family issue, and thank god Ebru was available. She took our cockerpoo for 2 nights and such a relief. Ebru was very professional and kept in touch with us with pictures etc. We will definitely use Ebru services again, and would vouch for her for others that wish to have her look after the dogs. Thanks again Ebru🙏👍”
About: I've been around dogs of different kinds all of my life. Looking after friends and family dogs, feeding, walking, bathing, grooming, cuddling ;) Cuddles on the sofa, zoomies or walks in the park dogs I enjoy it all! I'm a Personal Assistant who is lucky enough to work from home. I started my career working with children in schools, I was then Cabin Crew for a short while, until I found a job I love. DBS checked ✅ Historically First Aid trained including advanced aviation med (certificates lapsed) I am not quite in a position to have my own but I'd love to help care for your pooch. Most of the week I work from home. I am normally in the office one day a week and will be out of the house for around 10hrs so would avoid have visitors, as I have no one to pop in to let them out. Weekends I am home or local to home. There are no other pets or children in the house. I have a large kitchen which is safe for dogs, which leads out onto a secure paved fenced garden. I have multiple walks local to my house, with the Peak District a short drive away for longer walks.
“Diana had a fabulous time staying with Natalie and her family. She settled in well with the family dogs and seemed to enjoy the relaxed and kind atmosphere in the farmhouse.Natalie sent frequent messages and photos to reassure us that Diana was happy and enjoying her holiday. There was plenty of good walking around the farm, and cosy rest time in front of the fire. It seemed a gently structured and very dog friendly household. Dog heaven!! We were confident that Diana was being well cared for. Huge thanks to Natalie for looking after Diana so well. We will certainly be making future bookings”
“Lucy is fantastic providing a loving, comfortable, caring stay and understanding exactly what was needed for our nervous Ted who had a wonderful time, we couldn’t have asked for more. Communication was fab. I would absolutely use Lucy again and would recommend her 100%. 🤩⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Absolutely outstanding dog sitter. Diego was so well looked after and cared for throughout. I received constant messages, photos and videos which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. You can genuinely see the love and attention given to him, and I could not have wished for a better person to look after my dog. Highly recommended and I would not hesitate to use again.”
“First time using Jade and I’ll definitely use Jade again! She made sure to keep me updated with how Winnie was getting on and send me loads of photos which made my heart melt, Winnie had the bestest day to the point where she didn’t even want to get back in the car! Jade looks after your pup like she’s her own and it’s amazing to have that when it’s needed!”
“Highly recommended and gave my dogs a home from home experience. Shelby looked after my two dogs for two nights and we were updated lots with photos of them playing, out on walks and snuggled up with Shelby. We were put at ease straight away when we met them before boarding and this trust and care for our dogs continued with excellent communication before, during and after the boarding experience. We will definitely trust and use them again. Thank you so much guys.”
“It's been an absolute pleasure to leave Lola with Sue, she is such a lovely lady and took such good care of Lola. We are very confident that we have found the right person to leave Lola with whenever we need to. I actually think Lola didn't want to come home. Thank you Sue”
“Our pup Alfie had a great time on his holiday. Louise was absolutely brilliant, keeping us up to date with pictures throughout the weekend. Alfie went on great walks and had so much fun playing with their beautiful, best natured girl, Luna. We highly recommend Louise and we’ll defo be booking with her again. Thank you so much for everything both. Alfie was a happy pup.”
“Ellie was an absolute angel. Leaving my precious Slinky while I travelled to Germany was such a big step for me, as I’d never left her with anyone outside of family before. Ellie completely put my mind at ease with regular updates, photos, and videos, and I could see how happy and loved Slinky was. When I picked her up, she didn’t even want to leave, which says everything. Knowing my baby was safe and adored meant the world to me, and I wouldn’t hesitate to trust Ellie again! 🐾💕”
About: I have over 5 years of experience caring for dogs and am a huge dog lover. I’ve regularly looked after dogs for friends and family, including my friend’s dog and my auntie’s dog, who I care for quite often. Through this experience, I’ve become confident handling dogs of all different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I absolutely love spending time with dogs and enjoy taking them on walks, playing with them, cuddles and making sure they feel happy. Whether it’s a long walk, some company during the day, or lots of attention and affection, I treat every dog as if they were my own I work from home full time so happy to care and be around for your dogs with my flexible schedule🐶 I have the time to pop over, go on walks or a have your dog for a sleepover most days 🐾 I live in a detached house with a good sized fenced garden! It is 3 storey so there is stairs to consider if your dog likes to sleep upstairs, but plenty of rooms and space if your dog likes sleeping elsewhere. I live near lots of walking trails, fields, woods, and swimming spots! I don’t have any other pets and live with my boyfriend who also absolutely loves dogs too.
“Zoe was amazing with our boy Blue, he isn’t used to other dogs or being away but Zoe made him feel very much at home and he was great with both her lovely dogs. Could t be happier with her and would happily leave Blue with her again.”
“Hayley and Pete were lovely and friendly, asked lots of questions about Bella and what she's like in the home ,on lead ect. Bella is very nervous with new people and they didn't try to push her for a stroke. Having some playmates definitely helped Bella to settle in. Will definitely be using again. Thanks very much Hayley and Pete 🐾”
“Antonia cared for our retriever x Loki and took such great care of him. From the moment we dropped him at her home we were kept informed with picture updates and felt completely reassured the whole time. She took him on long walks and he always looked so relaxed and happy. He came home very contented, if not a little sad to be back! We will 100% use Antonia again! Thank you!”
“Thank you so much to Heather and family for looking after Kaida. After the first meet, I just knew Kaida would be looked after and there would be no worries at all. Heather kept in touch while away with both messages and photos which was very reassuring. First time we have tried home boarding and Kaida was looked after brilliantly as if she was their own. Wouldn't hesitate to use Heather again and cannot say how delighted I was with the service, love and care provided. Highly recommended and a big thank you to putting my mind at ease.”
“Karen was an amazing dog sitter, so lovely and could tell they made our dog very comfortable. Really took the time to get to know our dog and what helps them feel safe and happy. Would highly recommend.”

“Evie did a wonderful job looking after my cat, Ted, while I was on holiday. She made the effort to get to know Ted and learn about his routines and favourite toys before the visit. During my trip Evie kept me updated with messages and lots of lovely pictures of Ted so I could see he was happy. I came home to a spotless house and a very happy cat, who had enjoyed his week with Evie. He is already missing her. I would definitely recommend Evie and will be hoping to book her again in the future!”
“Ellie was great. Came round at arranged time for a pre-meet and was very professional and organised gathering the information she needed. She was flexible and accommodating in meeting our cats particular needs and I felt confident entrusting our cat and home to her while we were away. Our cat is quite timid but was a fan of Ellie, choosing to sit in her lap for a cuddle which is rare. Really appreciated the photos to give us peace of mind that our beloved cat was well and happy. We wouldn’t hesitate to use again and to recommend.”
“Clare is absolutely lovely and took such great care of my cat, Ted. Ted had a great time hanging out with her and was very happy and content. Clare left the house absolutely spotless and had also gone to the trouble of getting me a lovely gift when I got home. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Clare for house sitting :)”

About: Retired professional and life long dog owner/lover. I can offer a your dog a home from home dog care experience, contact me with your requirements. I can offer dog walking, house visits and overnight stays, either at your home or mine. I am DBS checked (August 2021) and am fully insured to provide dog care services. As I am now retired from my 9 to 5 job I have plenty of time to accommodate dog sitting/walking, depending upon the number of weekly/daily bookings. Dogs will be treated as if my own in both the dogs own home and my own. The front and rear of my property is fenced/gated.
About: I have had and looked after many animals (mainly rescues) since I could walk. I have extensive experience with dogs and have grown up around cats. I have been pet sitting in Melbourne Australia for the last 3 years and love working with my clients regularly to help their dogs feel settled while they are away. I have worked with all sorts of dogs from chilled out sleepy pooches to angsty or nervous pets! I am currently work part time with some study online, which can be done from home. My shifts are normally only a maximum of 5 hours as I work as a personal trainer, so your pet wouldn’t be on its own for long! I don’t offer dog sitting in my own home as I have a rescue dog who is not great with new dogs. However in your home I promise to leave it clean and tidy and make sure your pet gets all the attention and walks or pets they need!
About: I’ve looked after my two cats Snoop and Witchwitton since before I started vet school, and they’re both still with me as a graduated vet, so I’m doing something right! I am a cat person and appreciate all their quirks - whether it be cuddling up on a lap, or putting as much physical distance between them and any strange human as possible. Please note whilst I am a vet, I will not give any veterinary advice nor provide any clinical exams on your pets. It is neither legal nor ethical for me to do so. What I can offer is peace of mind if you have a pet with a medical condition or who needs medicine administering.
About: I’ve been lucky enough to spend my life surrounded by animals of all shapes and sizes – from playful pups and cuddly cats to tropical fish, and even bees! 🐝 Animals have always been a huge part of my world, and caring for them comes naturally to me. I have hands-on experience looking after dogs, cats, and fish. I’ve also trained my own dogs, which means I understand how important patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement are. Whether it’s a puppy learning the ropes, or an older dog who needs a gentler pace, I adapt to each animal’s unique needs. With bees, I’ve learned the importance of calm handling, respect, and attentiveness – skills I bring to all the pets I care for. Safety, trust, and making sure your pet feels comfortable are always my top priorities. Your furry (or finned!) family member will be cared for as if they were my own – with love, attention, and plenty of fun. A Day in My Care 🐾 • Morning Walks (7am – 9am): A refreshing start to the day with plenty of exercise, sniffing, and tail wags. Perfect for dogs who like to burn off energy first thing. Session length can be discussed. • Midday Visits (11am – 2pm): Feeding, toilet breaks, playtime, or a calm walk — tailored to your pet’s routine. • Afternoon Adventures (3pm – 5pm): Shorter walks as welcome as the longer ones, or quieter sessions in the garden depending on your dog’s needs. • Evening Check-Ins (6pm – 8pm): Dinner, toilet breaks, and some quiet companionship to wind down. Your pet’s safety and happiness always come first. I understand how much trust it takes to let someone else care for your furry family member, and I take that responsibility seriously. • Safety: I keep walks controlled, calm, and enjoyable. I only use secure leads and harnesses, avoid unsafe areas, and always pay attention to your dog’s comfort and limits. It’s always good to get to know your dog beforehand so let me know what they’re like both inside and outside, any behavioural quirks or anything else you might think useful. • Trust: Animals respond best when they feel safe and respected. I will take time to get to know your pet’s personality so they can relax and enjoy themselves while you’re away. • Environment: I adapt to your pet’s routine and surroundings to reduce stress and keep things familiar. Walks can be energetic adventures or calm strolls, depending on what your dog needs. You can feel confident knowing your pet will be cared for with patience, consistency, and kindness — as if they were my own.

About: I have several years of experience with pets, mostly dogs but also small animals and cats.

I also have experience with senior dogs and blind dogs, I am able to administer medication, give extra attention and any additional needs. I have also done volunteer days at different animal charities in which dog walking was a large part of - I have worked with dogs in muzzles, different behaviors and temperaments. Charity days also largely consist of cat sitting and socializing so I can also offer drop in visits to cats for playtime/feeding etc! This also applies to small animals - having two guinea pigs myself that are spoilt, I am more than happy to pop into your smaller pets for a check up / feed and snuggle! I work for a pet retailer, so my experience with pet handling and knowledge around pets is second to none. I would love to walk / pet sit during my time off as it fills my days! I do currently work in retail management. But would love the opportunity to start looking after pets with my time, I am quite flexible due to working shifts also. I can easily use a crate and have experience with crate training. The garden is secure and house is secure. I would recommend a good quality lead and harness for walks.
About: Hi! 👋 A little bit about me…I’ve grown up with animals in my life and have had pets since age of 5. Growing up on a farm, I’ve always naturally had an affinity for animals. I have experience looking after kittens, puppies, cats as well as dogs. I have been trusted to dog sit for friends and family for most of my adult life, but have been doing so professionally for the last few years. If you have any questions at all - feel free to message me. I currently work from home so have now got increased capacity to make weekly trips to look after other peoples pets. Hence I am opening my availability up to provide care for more pets. Caring for each pet is different and I am more than happy to meet requirements of each pet’s specific needs and routine alongside providing a watchful eye and fulfilling their personal interactive needs such as cuddles/petting, treats, and continuing their training as requested.
“Had Maddie meet my furry friend today for the first time. With my dog having extreme anxiety over new people, I was surprised how much he'd let her do during their first meet. They say dogs can feel people much better than we can. For Moss to let Maddie pet him and to eat from her hand within 20 minutes of first meeting her, that means a lot! I've got a feeling they can build an awesome relationship, and spend great time together when I have to take care of other business.”
“Sue dropped by to look after our two cats after our original plans fell through and we needed someone urgently. We’re so thankful that Sue was able to work around our times at such late notice. We also got updates from visits and everything was left tidy for when we got back, thank you!”
“Cassie is absolutely amazing! She took the best care of my cat Molly while I was away, and I couldn't have asked for more. She was reliable, trustworthy, and communicated with me regularly to keep me updated on my pet's activities and well-being. I was impressed by her attention to detail. She was also very flexible which made the whole experience stress-free for me. I would highly recommend Cassie to anyone in need of a pet sitter. I feel so lucky to have found her and I know I'll be using her services again in the future.”
“Holly has been brilliant with our 2 kittens from the meet and greet to her last visit. We received twice daily photos and updates and it was clear Holly spent time playing with them and showing them love as if they were her own. We will not hesitate to book Holly again. Thank you xx”

“Natalie instantly makes you feel at ease looking after your dog in a home from home setting, we loved that our Lurcher had company with her lovely dogs too… We will definitely be booking some more dates in soon and thankyou for being so lovely 🌼”
“Zoe was absolutely fantastic! Prior to accepting my booking we met for a meet and greet and Zoe diligently weren't through my dogs needs. It is very clear she understand the behaviour of dogs and places an importance on their individual needs. Ollie is a rescue and his first experience away from me since leaving the shelter was being dropped off at Zoes and I needn't have worried because a few Horus later I received some gorgeous videos of Ollie having the best time, clearly happy and at ease with Zoe. But what's amazing is because of Zoe's knowledge and training she spent some time with Ollie sharpening up his lead skills and noticeably the next day Ollie was walking to heel beautifully and had learned off Zoe's dogs to come back to a whistle. I'll be booking Ollie in again as it is very clear this was a very positive experience for him and is reinforcing his training. Thank you Zoe!”
“Lucy is extremely human and dog friendly ;0) She welcomed our dogs in her home and listened to our dog’s needs. Our dogs were very happy and relaxed with Lucy. We would definitely book Lucy again Thank you x”
“David was clearly a dog lover and both dogs seemed happy to go back on the second day. David was very good at communicating and sent photos of Leo and Poppy. I would not hesitate to recommend David nor leave Leo and Poppy with David again.”
“Truffle absolutely loves going to stay with Nicola during the day. There’s a small number of other dogs to play with that all have a lovely temperament including Nicola’s own dog, Boots who Truffle loves! We get lots of pupdates through the day and she’s always having the best time! We would definitely recommend her and will be using her daycare again 😊”
About: I have grown up with and looked after dogs, my whole life and know how to handle nervous and excited dogs. I’ve been lucky enough to grow up with dogs. Most of the dogs I’ve grown up with have I’ve been adopted from situations that I did not deserve to be in. Most came from abusive homes I and my family were able to encourage them to come out the shell am I thoroughly enjoy getting know the dogs personality. I recently graduated with a bachelors in politics and I’m currently completing a law conversion at home. While my fiance works at the health and safety executive in Buxton. As I am home most of the day, my schedule and routine would be fitting and around the pup. I strongly believe that positive reinforcement is the only reinforcement love nurture and constant affection are the only way to go. I will always believe that a dog is an extension of the family and will always be a member of the family and so should be treated with the most love and care.
“Dixie and dougal had a great day with meg. She helped us out last minute and i would highly reccomend her and she kept us updated throughout the day with messages and pictures. Thank you again”
“Ollie had our 2 year old dog and looked after him tremendously. Ollie is a warm, kind person who bonded with Rufus as soon as he met him. I felt very comfortable leaving Rufus with Ollie and know that he looked after him really well, took him for walks and gave him cuddles. 10/10 would recommend, thanks so much again Ollie ?”
“Hayley was lovely, kept in touch with us with photos and texts throughout the day and made Gigi feel at home. Their pre-boarding forms were very reassuring so they knew lots of information before her stay and I felt they were very professional. Thanks so much, we’ll definitely book again!”

“For a first time ever at daycare I'm really pleased. Obi is a nervous little guy sometimes and Dilma and co. really helped Obi feel comfortable. He even had a little nap which I was surprised at. I didn't know if he was going to be able to settle in a strange environment. Will definitely be coming back for another play day x”
“We left Patti with Aneta for the first time and had a really great experience. Aneta was immediately warm and reassuring, which made us feel very comfortable leaving her. Patti clearly had a brilliant day. She came home happy and relaxed, and it was lovely to see how settled she was. Aneta even took her out for a proper walk despite the rain, which we really appreciated. It is clear Patti was well cared for and enjoyed her time. We would happily recommend Aneta and will definitely be booking again.”
About: I grew up with dogs in our household and for the last 20 years I've had my own dogs but lost my last one, Sanza, a Toy Poodle, in June 2025. I dog sit two Dachshund sisters aged 15 regularly and enjoy it very much. I love dogs and would treat your dogs as if they were my own. Your pet's comfort, happiness and safety is my priority. I have experience of giving medication via injection as my dog was diabetic and had to have insulin injections twice a day as well as oral medication. I also have experience of looking after senior dogs as I have cared for dogs who are 14 and 15 years old. I am available to look after your dogs in my home or at your home so they have as little disruption to their routine as possible. I am retired so I'am at home all day so can look after your pets whenever you need me. I'm very flexible and can adjust my schedule to fit in around your needs. I have an enclosed garden which is fully fenced/ brick wall. The garden is very secure. I live in a semi detached bungalow so there are no stairs to climb. I have lots of toys for your dogs to play with. I am available to look after them in their own home or at my home. I am retired so I am around all the time to look after your dogs. I prefer to look after small dogs but will look after medium sized dogs as long as they walk well on the lead as I walk with a crutch so can't manage to walk large dogs who pull or lunge too strongly when they react to other dogs. I do not look after large dogs for safety reasons.

My family have ponies and a range of dog breeds (some rescues) all with very different attitudes giving me lots of experience. My partner and I have 2 year old working cocker spaniel, whom we adore and love adventures in the countryside with. Available for mostly walking and sitting during the week days but can be flexible some weekends. In general my schedule can be quite flexible and I fully understand the need for last minute panic sitting or dog walking! So please don’t hesitate to contact me :) My cocker spaniel is very friendly with a lovely temperament, she loves having the company of other animals whether that’s chilling on the sofa or playing until to tired.
About: I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I take the time to understand each animal’s unique personality, routines, and needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I have experience with puppy training—from crate training and leash manners to basic commands—and I’m also comfortable providing gentle, attentive care for senior pets, including administering medication and keeping a calm, familiar environment. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or quiet companionship, I make sure every visit leaves your pet happy and stress-free I am a healthy, active, retired professional lady. I live alone so would have plenty of time and love to give to your fur baby My garden is fully fenced. Your fur baby would live indoors. Sleep on my bed if that is what they are used to. I have no other pets so it will be just your dog.

About: Since a child I have always had pets. I’ve had dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters and fish. The home is not the same without a pet. I currently have an indoor rabbit and often look after my mums cocker spaniel. I work in term time as a teaching assistant three days a week but I am available after work on those days, I am available at weekends and anytime throughout the school holidays. I have pet sat for many friends and family since I was 14, including dogs, cats and rabbits. This has involved, walking, feeding, cleaning out and spending lots of time with them whilst their owner is out for the night or away on holiday. I absolutely love spending time with animals and I’ve always been comfortable around all animals.
About: I’ve been lucky enough to spend my life surrounded by animals of all shapes and sizes – from playful pups and cuddly cats to tropical fish, and even bees! 🐝 Animals have always been a huge part of my world, and caring for them comes naturally to me. I have hands-on experience looking after dogs, cats, and fish. I’ve also trained my own dogs, which means I understand how important patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement are. Whether it’s a puppy learning the ropes, or an older dog who needs a gentler pace, I adapt to each animal’s unique needs. With bees, I’ve learned the importance of calm handling, respect, and attentiveness – skills I bring to all the pets I care for. Safety, trust, and making sure your pet feels comfortable are always my top priorities. Your furry (or finned!) family member will be cared for as if they were my own – with love, attention, and plenty of fun. A Day in My Care 🐾 • Morning Walks (7am – 9am): A refreshing start to the day with plenty of exercise, sniffing, and tail wags. Perfect for dogs who like to burn off energy first thing. Session length can be discussed. • Midday Visits (11am – 2pm): Feeding, toilet breaks, playtime, or a calm walk — tailored to your pet’s routine. • Afternoon Adventures (3pm – 5pm): Shorter walks as welcome as the longer ones, or quieter sessions in the garden depending on your dog’s needs. • Evening Check-Ins (6pm – 8pm): Dinner, toilet breaks, and some quiet companionship to wind down. Your pet’s safety and happiness always come first. I understand how much trust it takes to let someone else care for your furry family member, and I take that responsibility seriously. • Safety: I keep walks controlled, calm, and enjoyable. I only use secure leads and harnesses, avoid unsafe areas, and always pay attention to your dog’s comfort and limits. It’s always good to get to know your dog beforehand so let me know what they’re like both inside and outside, any behavioural quirks or anything else you might think useful. • Trust: Animals respond best when they feel safe and respected. I will take time to get to know your pet’s personality so they can relax and enjoy themselves while you’re away. • Environment: I adapt to your pet’s routine and surroundings to reduce stress and keep things familiar. Walks can be energetic adventures or calm strolls, depending on what your dog needs. You can feel confident knowing your pet will be cared for with patience, consistency, and kindness — as if they were my own.
“Ellie is amazing! Her love, care and passion for animals is second to none. When meeting Ellie for the first time, she instantly made us feel at ease, our puppy Ralphy instantly fell asleep in her arms! Ellie made sure to understand and implement our routines for consistency for our puppy and also gave equal attention to our two cats. We absolutely will be booking in again with Ellie, cannot recommend her enough!”
About: I am an experienced dog handler (full-time DBS checked teacher) who works as a dog walker/sitter ( in others' homes) during the School Summer and other holidays. I have successfully completed an animal First Aid and CPR course. I have rehomed several dogs from rescue charities such as Tia Greyhound & Lurcher Rescue and the Retired Greyhounds Trust. Currently, I have one dog, a friendly rescued greyhound called Aramis, rehomed from Jerry Green. Also an allotment holder, with an interest in growing organically, this means I often bake homemade dog treats with honey and organic vegetables as an additional treat during the Summer months when produce is available. Whilst I'm a houndie person, I have no breed prejudices - dogs respond to pack leadership and loving but firm training. I DO prefer that dogs are responsibly neutered/spayed and are up to date with healthcare and vaccinations, however. I available any days over the Summer holidays, including the August Bank Holiday Weekend Over the Summer and other school holidays, your pets receive undivided full-time attention and care I have plenty of time for walks, petcare and treats Ensuring veterinary details, owners' instructions, plenty of fresh water, the right food and treats, exercise, care, and company in a safe environment for your dogs.
About: I started taking care of dogs when I lived in Australia as a way to travel the country, and fell in love! I’m back home now and keen to meet new dogs and people. I work part time at a cafe from 11-4:30, so I have time in the mornings and late afternoon for walks, feeding, toilet time or just to hang out and play! I’m also free every weekend. I will not be able to look after dogs in my own home unfortunately so will not be able to answer this question at this current time.
About: Hi! 👋 A little bit about me…I’ve grown up with animals in my life and have had pets since age of 5. Growing up on a farm, I’ve always naturally had an affinity for animals. I have experience looking after kittens, puppies, cats as well as dogs. I have been trusted to dog sit for friends and family for most of my adult life, but have been doing so professionally for the last few years. If you have any questions at all - feel free to message me. I currently work from home so have now got increased capacity to make weekly trips to look after other peoples pets. Hence I am opening my availability up to provide care for more pets. Caring for each pet is different and I am more than happy to meet requirements of each pet’s specific needs and routine alongside providing a watchful eye and fulfilling their personal interactive needs such as cuddles/petting, treats, and continuing their training as requested.

“Highly recommended and gave my dogs a home from home experience. Shelby looked after my two dogs for two nights and we were updated lots with photos of them playing, out on walks and snuggled up with Shelby. We were put at ease straight away when we met them before boarding and this trust and care for our dogs continued with excellent communication before, during and after the boarding experience. We will definitely trust and use them again. Thank you so much guys.”

I live near lots of walking trails, fields, woods, and swimming spots! I don’t have any other pets and live with my boyfriend who also absolutely loves dogs too.
