“Molly had a lovely Christmas break with Linda and Rob. They were very welcoming and Molly was comfortable straight away. Linda was very patient with me whilst I was making Christmas plans and her communication was great. If we lived closer would definitely use again!”
“⸻ We had a fantastic experience with Charlotte, she took excellent care of our dog while we were away, providing regular updates, photos, and lots of love and attention. It was clear our pup was happy, safe, and comfortable the entire time. She was reliable, communicative. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”
“I am a returning customer and now Charlotte is Beni's fairy Godmother 🥰🐾, helping me out when I need to be whole day out. Beni truly loves to stay with Charlotte, doesn't stress when I leave and I pick my puppy content and relaxed, with plenty of pictures to enjoy about their day. I cannot recommend Charlotte more for care of your beloved pet when you need.”
“Apollo just came back from his mini break at David's and as always he's enjoyed it! David is an absolute super star, with him we can leave Apollo and know that all will be well 😊”
“Having a business function 5 hours from home and needing to find suitable care for our needy French Bulldog was potentially stressful. So glad we found Cathryn and her wonderfully calming approach. She (and her husband) were super accommodating, communicative, helpful, reassuring. Instantly connecting with Merlin when we dropped him off, and sending photos and messages throughout the evening to reassure. When we are in Staffs again and need repeat care, we will be 100% returning to Cathryn. Highly recommended!!”
“Fantastic dog sitting service from Lisa, Jeff was well looked after and it is clear he enjoyed his time. I got regular updates and photos which helped feel at ease. I would highly recommend Lisa and most certainly be using her dog sitting service again.”
“Dina was a fantastic host for Betty our Border Terrier. She and Dina’s dog Daisy got on so well. Betty was obviously very happy in their home. Drop off and pick up were convenient and easy. We would definitely use Dina again”

“Venetia and Chris were amazing, Roche was very well looked after. Even from the meet and greet to picking him up they listened to all his needs and he really enjoyed his stay there for 8 nights. They already knew a lot about dogs but still did research on his breed to cater for him specifically and gave regular updates on him. We cannot recommend them enough, thanks again.”
“Maria and her family were fantastic with Pike she sent videos daily and Pike looked happy. Plus she lives close to me which is good i would definately recommend Maria.Will book Maria again 10/10 .Lovely lady and family 😍”
About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for and looking after dogs of all different breeds, sizes and personalities. Over the years, I have gained a great understanding of the responsibility, patience and dedication that comes with caring for dogs and making sure they are happy, healthy and well looked after. At one point, I owned 4 dogs which taught me how to manage different needs, personalities and routines while making sure each dog received plenty of individual attention and care. I have also experienced the very special responsibility of having a female dog give birth to a litter of six puppies. One particularly memorable experience of this was when one of the puppies stopped breathing and I had to act quickly and provide mouth-to-mouth resuscitation to help save its life. Thankfully, the puppy survived, he was a 12 year old toy poodle, still with us living with my mum. This experience showed me just how important it is to remain calm, attentive and prepared when caring for animals. My 10 years of experience have given me a genuine passion for dogs and a strong understanding of how much care, attention and love they need. I take pride in treating every dog as an individual and making sure they feel safe, comfortable and cared for while in my responsibility. I have also been actively training my dog I own with the help of my friend who is a behaviorist. My dog once had issues with resource guarding and lead pulling, both of which is now under control. I’m available to provide your dog with plenty of care, attention and company throughout the day. I’m happy to work around your dog’s normal routine, including their usual feeding, walking, play and rest times. I understand that keeping a familiar routine can help dogs settle, especially when they are staying away from home. I’ll make sure they receive lots of attention and regular care while you’re away. I have a spacious, secure garden and a comfortable home where dogs can relax and feel at ease. I have a friendly 16-month-old Cockapoo who is used to being around other dogs. I always take each dog’s individual personality and preferences into consideration, and introductions can be done gradually and carefully. If your dog prefers their own space, I can also provide separate areas and make sure they have a calm environment where they can settle comfortably.
“Jas and Tasha looked after both of my dogs for a week. They cared for both of them well and kept in contact with me to keep my updated on how they had settled in. Will certainly be using them again to look after both of my girls - thanks ladies 😊”
“Hayley was great, very easy to communicate with and we would definitely be happy to leave Henry with her again. He was taken on plenty of walks and came home very tired. Thank you Hayley ?”
“Coco had a wonderful stay with Megan, she was very attentive, sent updates and they had a great time on a long walk. I think Coco has a new best friend! Will definitely book again.”
“This was my first time using this app, first time going on holiday and leaving my boy. Tara is such a lovely, friendly person, offering a complete home from home experience. Myself and my mum were able to enjoy our 11 day holiday knowing our boys were well looked after. We loved the regular updates and pictures that we recieved. I would fully recommend Tara and will definitely be in contact again on our next holiday 😀”
“Charlotte and Dan took such great care of my very energetic dog Pickle. She clearly thrived in their care and felt right at home in their cosy space. Thank you Charlotte and Dan, we will be sure to use you again in the future.”

About: **Caring & Reliable Dog Walker and Pet Sitter in Uttoxeter** I'm a **Fully Insured, DBS Checked Dog Walker & Pet Sitter** and have completed a **Canine First Aid course**. I have experience caring for dogs and cats with different personalities, ages and routines, always adapting my approach to each individual pet. Whether it's a walk, a home visit or pet sitting in your home, my priority is to provide reliable, personalised care while keeping your pet happy, comfortable and following their usual routine as closely as possible. I take the time to get to know every pet's personality, habits and individual needs, so they feel safe, relaxed and enjoy their time with me. I keep owners updated with regular photos and messages, so you can see how your pet is doing while you're away. I'd love the opportunity to meet you and your pet, and to provide the same care and attention I'd want for my own. Pet care is part of my everyday routine and I love it! I walk my own dog every day and I already take two lovely dogs for a walk every lunchtime, so adding more walks or visits fits perfectly into my schedule. I plan my days around the dogs I care for, making sure they get the right amount of exercise, playtime and cuddles Safety and comfort always come first. At the owner’s home, I follow their routine carefully, keeping everything as familiar as possible for the pet. I give fresh water, feed according to instructions, and spend time playing and giving cuddles so they feel happy and relaxed. At my home, dogs are never left unattended, and I have a secure garden where they can safely enjoy some fresh air. I supervise them at all times and make sure walks are always on a lead unless the owner agrees and it’s a safe area.
“Thank you so much again for coming in to look after the kitties 😸 and updates. I always know they'll be absolutely fine with you when I'm away.I will definitely be booking again in April 😊.x”
“Ka Yua visited beforehand to meet the dogs. He clearly cares for dogs and was keen to understand what was particular about ours. Ka Yua arrived early, spent a long time playing with the dogs in the garden and sent us plenty of pics & videos of happy, calm dogs. A great help Ka Yua, thanks!”
“Danielle was such a lovely lady, very well organised and super communication. At a meet and greet our cat warmed to her immediately which gave us such confidence. Sadly we had to cancel last minute due to illness and Danielle was very understanding. We were so impressed we've booked her again.”
About: I’m a second year vet student with a strong interest in feline health and welfare. While I have not owned cats myself, I have extensive experience caring for cats belonging to family and friends including feeding, administering routine care, providing companionship and maintaining their normal routines while owners are away. Through my veterinary studies I have gained knowledge of cat behaviour, handling, health and welfare and understand the importance of providing patient, attentive care and creating a calm and comfortable environment for every cat.
About: From the moment I got my Dobermann, Mila, in December 2021, I was completely hooked on dogs. Their unique personalities, their boundless energy, and their unconditional love quickly turned me from a dog lover to dog obsessed! When Mila sadly and unexpectedly passed in 2024, I knew I needed to honour her by dedicating more of my life to dogs - especially those still waiting to feel the love she gave me. That’s when I began volunteering at Just for Dogs, a local rescue. For the past year, I’ve spent every Saturday and Sunday walking rescue dogs, giving them much needed human interaction, and helping them build confidence. Even more rewarding has been opening my home to foster some of these dogs - providing them with a safe, loving space where they can adjust to home life and prepare for their forever families. From nervous to confident, tiny to huge, cuddle bugs to playful adventurers, it’s been an honour to play a small role in their journey to happiness. With this experience, I feel confident in offering the very best care for your dog - tailored to their unique needs and personality. Whether it’s long walks, sofa cuddles, playtime, or simply being a calm companion, I’ll make sure your pup feels safe, happy, and loved. I work full-time Monday to Friday, but my flexible hours and ability to work from home mean I can easily fit pet care into my daily routine. This allows me to provide dog walks, drop-in visits, or companionship throughout the day, as well as plenty of attention before and after work hours. I prioritise safety, trust, and a calm environment in every pet care situation. In my home, I ensure dogs have a secure, comfortable space with access to water, toys, and a quiet area to rest. When caring for pets in their own home, I follow the owner’s routines and instructions closely, maintaining a familiar environment and minimising stress for the dog. My goal is always to create a loving, predictable, and safe experience tailored to each pet’s needs.
“Rachael took care of Pepper for 3 days and I couldn’t be happier! She clearly loves cats and she takes good care of them ♥️ she is precise, always keeping me updated and sending me pictures (when pepper was not hiding 😂) I highly recommend her and I will call her again at the next opportunity!”
“Megan was excellent. I came home to a happy cat who had been kept fed and watered! Before my holiday, Megan kept in contact to make sure details were up to date and if she needed to amend timings, she made it clear and always asked if it would work for Rory. She meant that I could visit my daughter at Christmas, and not once was I concerned about my cat. She didn’t, of course, actually get to pet him: as I predicted! 😊 Thanks Megan, I’ll be very happy for you to look after Rory next time I’m away.”
About: I have two dogs of my own and have been a dog walker for 3 years. I have a certification in pet first aid and am fully insured. I also have a van and offer group walks. I work between 4 and 6 during the week and have flexible university hours meaning I'll be able to work around the pet owner's schedule. I have a fenced yard as well as two friendly dogs to keep your dog company. I can crate your dog if needed but have plenty of room to play.
“Maisie was absolutely lovely and so good with our cat, Luna. She kept us updated with plenty of detail on how Luna was getting on, along with lots of photos. It was so reassuring knowing she was in such good hands. Thank you so much!❤️”
About: environment. Having regularly looked after friends' and families' cats while they are away on holiday, I know exactly what it takes to keep a feline happy, secure, and well-cared for during daily drop-in visits.I understand that every cat has a distinct personality and a strict routine. My approach is reliable, patient, and entirely focused on making sure your cat feels comfortable and loved while you are away.
About: I know cats are normally the top boss and always respect a cats boundaries. From my experience, cats will approach you if they wish to be around you and want your attention. I will always check in and make sure they’re okay, while giving them their space
“Charley was amazing and really went above and beyond. My cat is usually cautious with strangers, but Charley was able to gain her trust from the very first visit. She sent me updates and photos every day, so I always knew everything was fine and my cat was in good hands while I was away for two weeks. She also left the house clean and tidy. I will definitely book Charley again and would highly recommend her.”
“Victoria is fantastic!! Our cat is a feisty critter but by the end of the week she was full of purrs and loving Tori's visits. We loved having our updates each day: The adventures of Tori & Torti! Victoria was brilliant with Peanut, allowing her the time and space she needed to warm to a new human. She kept everything tidy, not an easy task with Peanuts litter antics. Everything was over and above. We'll definitely be using Victoria for sitting again in the future - highly recommended!!”
“Best catsitting service ever! We found Ionela being super professional, and really dedicated. She sent us daily updates and pictures. Probably the most amazing pictures of our cat.? If you want to leave tour cats with someone you can trust and give your cats the love they need when you’re not with them, don’t hesitate to contact Ionela. Thank you!”
“Thank you so much for looking after my fur babies so well. Would definitely recommend Antonia, she was so attentive and I feel went over and above to ensure my cats were happy whilst I was away. Loved all the updates and photos, really gave me assurance that they were being well looked after.”
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!

“Steve was a brilliant Dogsitter. Extremely helpful and flexible and so gentle with my dog who can be nervous to stay with. Very responsive communication. Sent lots of photos throughout the day so we knew she was in safe hands. She was very well looked after. Highly recommend!”
“Lorena was friendly from start to finish. She was able to help initially shy Nala to settle within minutes. Lorena has a dog herself, which helped Nala to settle in well, as she loves being surrounded by other dogs. Nala was excited and happy after a stay at Lorena’s, and I would definitely not hesitate to leave my beloved dog in Lorena's careagain, as Nala returned home happy and settled. Such a great place to leave a dog if you're planning to visit Alton Towers during a stay in the Peak District.”
“Highly recommend Phoebe. This was my first time leaving Toby in somebody else's hands so I was abit nervous at first, but she updated me along the way as he spent the full day with her and her 2 pooches. Really lovely and down to earth aswell, will definitely be booking again in the future, no complaints whatsoever - thank you so much!”
“1st Time using the Rover app for our 6 month old Labrador puppy, decided we would book on with someone who had there own dogs and lots of 5 star reviews. After researching other reviews we picked Charlotte for a couple of reasons she had her own Labrador's and every review was positive. Dropped her off at 9.15 and immediately felt comfortable we had made the correct choice, she was excited to be there and off they went like they were best friends. Charlotte updated us during the day saying she was fine and how well mannered she was with her dogs. Picked her up a 5.30, she came home tired which in my eyes means she had a good day. Would highly recommend Charlotte and be confident your dog will be well looked after in her hands.”

Luna had a super time exploring the woods and was very relaxed and happy when we collected her. Thank you Emma for looking after Luna so well and we would all definitely love you to look after her again next time we're back in the area.”

“I have only positive views to share about Charlotte: such a friendly and positive person. She came back to my last minute plea for help very quickly and was super efficient on communication, which made my life as a first time pet owner, so much easier. Beni, loved his stay with Charlotte (I can say), the bond was there instantly. I collected a very chilled, happy and relaxed pup. Thank you so much for helping me out with Beni, I am sure Beni would give his two paws up for his pleasant stay and would he need to come back 🥰🐾”
“Calley had Theo for the first time and the quality of service was outstanding, amazing communication from start to finish photos of his walk and any other activities they got up too, will definitely be booking back in soon”

About: We’re proud, happy owners of our mini dachshund, Daisy, who is 7 years old and truly part of our family. Before Daisy, we shared many wonderful years with our standard dachshund, Bella. When Bella sadly passed away, we felt a huge hole in our hearts and in our home—bringing Daisy into our lives helped heal that space and reminded us just how special the bond with a dog can be. Because dogs are family to us, not just pets, we treat every dog in our care with the same love, respect, and attention we give our own. Daisy goes everywhere with us, and our lifestyle naturally revolves around being dog-friendly—walks, outings, routines, and home life are all designed with dogs in mind. Our experience includes: Caring for dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to senior dogs Understanding breed-specific needs, especially dachshunds Providing calm support for anxious or sensitive dogs Creating a true “home away from home” environment We don’t just watch dogs—we welcome them into our family while you’re away. Pet care is a natural part of our everyday life—it’s built into our routine, not something we squeeze in around other priorities. We’re a family of three dog lovers—two adults and our 17-year-old son—and our days already revolve around our own dog, Daisy. I’ve just completed my bachelor’s degree and am now pursuing my master’s online, which means I’m home most of the time and able to give dogs constant attention, supervision, and care. Because someone is always home: Dogs are never left alone Walks, playtime, feeding, and cuddles happen on a steady, relaxed schedule Anxious dogs get calm companionship and reassurance Our home is quiet, stable, and dog-focused. Pet care isn’t a side task for us—it’s part of how we live every day. When pets stay in our home, they become part of our family routine. We focus on keeping their days calm, happy, and as close as possible to what they’re used to at home. Our house has a large, secure garden that dogs can access throughout the day for fresh air, play, and toilet breaks. Whether they love running around, sunbathing, or just sniffing everything in sight, they have plenty of space to enjoy safely. We also live just a few minutes’ walk from the Burton riverside, which is perfect for relaxed walks, longer adventures, and letting dogs explore new sights and smells in a safe, natural setting. Daily care includes: Regular feeding based on your dog’s normal schedule Plenty of outdoor time in our garden Walks suited to your dog’s age, energy, and health Playtime Quiet rest time and lots of affection If caring for a dog in their own home, we follow their usual routine as closely as possible—same feeding times, walk routes, rules, and habits—so they feel secure and comfortable while you’re away.

“We left our labrador, Naala, with Kirsten for the day and she had a wonderful time! Naala was welcomed into the home, had some lovely walks and plenty of cuddles from the whole family. Will definitely use Kirsten again when we’re in the area. Thank you x”
“Absolutely amazing! Molly took care of my little diva for a daycare and she had an absolute fun! Even met Molly’s daughters. Molly sent updates and was absolutely responsive and sent a video in her massive garden - plenty for my lil fluff ball to run around especially with her energy levels being on the roof after the long drive. Molly was accommodating when we came in. Showed us the space bella can roam around. Definitely recommend booking her. I’ll be using her services again in the future! Thanks molly! Xx”
“Our 5 month old puppy had an absolutely amazing time with Megan. I felt really comfortable knowing that she was going to be well looked after, and Megan is clearly a natural with animals! Definitely recommend”
“I can’t say enough great things about Jenny! From the moment her and her son met my dog River, I knew she’d be in good hands. River can be a little shy with new people, but Jenny’s calm, caring energy immediately put her at ease. I received regular updates, adorable photos, and little notes that showed just how much love and attention River was getting. When I picked River up, she was relaxed, happy, and clearly well taken care of. 10/10 would recommend Jenny to anyone who wants peace of mind and a happy pup!”

About: Hi there, my names Emily. I'm 26 years old, and have a huge passion for animals! I travel all over most of the UK to carry out my pet sitting services. I do not charge for for fuel - this helps me travel but also means I have the potential to meet even more new clients and their furry friends. I have previously worked in a rescue centre and have been a pet sitter for 3 years. I work from home, so being a pet sitter suits my lifestyle and also allows me to meet wonderful pets! I treat every animal as my own, always send photos and videos with updates when the pet/s are in my care. I'm flexible with dates and working around the owner to suit them. I will always offer a meet a greet before hand, if your pet is a little nervous, not too worry, I can meet a few times to make sure that we are all comfortable before the booking goes ahead. I have experience with most animals, some of which are, dogs, cats, reptiles, small animals and even insects! Dog walking available also! Pet taxi/pet transportation service, 24/7 call outs 💝 If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to get in touch. Thank you for reading. I work from home, so I can give 1-1. I’m flexible and can cover most dates as and when needed! Please just ask! Thank you I care for pets as though they’re my own. They have 1-1. Minimum 2 walks a day, lots of playtime in the day and also space if needed
About: I am a second year veterinary student with a lifelong passion for animals and hands-on-experience caring for a wide range of pets. Growing up with animals, I have trained my own dogs and regularly care for family, friends and neighbours dogs. Through my veterinary studies, I have developed knowledge of animal behaviour, handling, health and welfare allowing me to easily spot if any health issues arise in your pet. I have also completed placements at a dog and cat boarding kennel and an animal rescue centre giving me practical experience working with animals of different ages, temperaments and needs. I provide reliable and compassionate care, treating every pet as if they were my own. I have recently completed my second year of veterinary studies and am available for pet care from now until 28th September. My schedule is highly flexible including week days and weekends allowing me to accommodate a wide range of pet care needs. Please note that I have veterinary placement commitments during the weeks commencing 17th august and 24th august 2026. During these two weeks, I will be available on weekday evenings after 6pm and throughout the weekends. Outside of these dates, I am available throughout the day and can offer a high degree of flexibility to suit owners schedules. When caring for pets in their own home, I prioritise maintaining their usual routine to help them feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. I follow all instructions provided regarding feeding, exercise medication and any specific care requirements ensuring each pet receives attentive and individual care. I take the time to provide companionship, enrichment and exercise appropriate to the pets needs while monitoring their health and wellbeing. As a veterinary student, I am familiar with animal behaviour allowing me to recognise signs of stress, illness or discomfort and respond appropriately. I also treat owners houses with respect, keeping the area clean and tidy and providing regular updates and photos for peace of mind. My aim is to ensure both pets and owners feel relaxed and confident throughout the pet sitting experience.
About: I have several years of hands\-on experience caring for dogs and currently run my own dog walking and pet care business\. I regularly provide dog walks, home visits and pet sitting, caring for dogs with a range of personalities, ages and needs\. I have experience caring for dogs in my own home and understand how important it is for owners to feel confident that their pets are safe, happy and well cared for while they are away\. I take the time to get to know each dog individually and make sure their routine, personality and specific needs are respected\. I am reliable, responsible and genuinely passionate about animals\. I also have extensive experience working with horses, which has given me a strong understanding of animal behaviour, handling, safety and providing high standards of care\. I have my own dog and am also a mum, so I understand the importance of providing a safe, caring and comfortable environment for every pet in my care. I work mornings, so I am generally available for dog walking, drop-ins and pet care from around 1pm onwards. I have some flexibility depending on the day and can discuss specific requirements in advance. I’m happy to work around your dog’s usual routine where possible and will always make sure they receive the time, attention and care they need. I offer a loving, safe and comfortable home-from-home environment for dogs staying with me. I have my own friendly dog, so I always arrange a meet-and-greet beforehand to make sure the dogs are comfortable together. I treat every dog as part of the family and will follow their usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime and plenty of cuddles. I also have a 6-year-old son, so I only take dogs who are suitable for a family home. Your dog will receive plenty of attention and won’t simply be left on their own for long periods. I’ll keep you updated during their stay with photos and messages so you can relax knowing they’re happy and well cared for.
“There aren’t enough stars to put on this app for Kirsten. Firstly on a human level - she’s amazing. She managed to work around our late booking and our dynamic timetable over the weekend to help us with 2 walks for Harley. She’s a genuinely nice person and instils the trust you need to leave your beloved fur baby with someone. More importantly - Harley adored her. The moment she walked in he was overcome with giddy puppy energy - folding himself over for her to get all the good strokes. He had 2 lovely walks and Kirsten provided us with a breakdown and photos of each walk which was great. We will definitely be using Kirsten again in the future - although hopefully with a little more forward planning from ourselves.”

“Venetia and Chris were amazing, Roche was very well looked after. Even from the meet and greet to picking him up they listened to all his needs and he really enjoyed his stay there for 8 nights. They already knew a lot about dogs but still did research on his breed to cater for him specifically and gave regular updates on him. We cannot recommend them enough, thanks again.”
About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for and looking after dogs of all different breeds, sizes and personalities. Over the years, I have gained a great understanding of the responsibility, patience and dedication that comes with caring for dogs and making sure they are happy, healthy and well looked after. At one point, I owned 4 dogs which taught me how to manage different needs, personalities and routines while making sure each dog received plenty of individual attention and care. I have also experienced the very special responsibility of having a female dog give birth to a litter of six puppies. One particularly memorable experience of this was when one of the puppies stopped breathing and I had to act quickly and provide mouth-to-mouth resuscitation to help save its life. Thankfully, the puppy survived, he was a 12 year old toy poodle, still with us living with my mum. This experience showed me just how important it is to remain calm, attentive and prepared when caring for animals. My 10 years of experience have given me a genuine passion for dogs and a strong understanding of how much care, attention and love they need. I take pride in treating every dog as an individual and making sure they feel safe, comfortable and cared for while in my responsibility. I have also been actively training my dog I own with the help of my friend who is a behaviorist. My dog once had issues with resource guarding and lead pulling, both of which is now under control. I’m available to provide your dog with plenty of care, attention and company throughout the day. I’m happy to work around your dog’s normal routine, including their usual feeding, walking, play and rest times. I understand that keeping a familiar routine can help dogs settle, especially when they are staying away from home. I’ll make sure they receive lots of attention and regular care while you’re away. I have a spacious, secure garden and a comfortable home where dogs can relax and feel at ease. I have a friendly 16-month-old Cockapoo who is used to being around other dogs. I always take each dog’s individual personality and preferences into consideration, and introductions can be done gradually and carefully. If your dog prefers their own space, I can also provide separate areas and make sure they have a calm environment where they can settle comfortably.
“Jas and Tasha looked after both of my dogs for a week. They cared for both of them well and kept in contact with me to keep my updated on how they had settled in. Will certainly be using them again to look after both of my girls - thanks ladies 😊”
“Coco had a wonderful stay with Megan, she was very attentive, sent updates and they had a great time on a long walk. I think Coco has a new best friend! Will definitely book again.”
“Charlotte and Dan took such great care of my very energetic dog Pickle. She clearly thrived in their care and felt right at home in their cosy space. Thank you Charlotte and Dan, we will be sure to use you again in the future.”
“Molly and her family did a wonderful job looking after our Rocky, daily updates on how he’s doing with photos and videos were all received with pure joy. Will continue to use molly in the future for all of Rocky’s future staycations”
“Dougie went very well with Calli, Richard, Kiki and Rupert on the trial we've had last night and we are very pleased. We've had updates and video with Dougie settling in as new boarding place for him. We have booked another week in February and looking forward for our friend to spend more time there when we are away. Thank you so much for everything.”
“Chester has a fantastic time staying with Josie. We were sent regular updates and Josie was incredibly flexible with arrival and collection times. Chester can’t wait for his next visit! Thanks Josie!”
“How delighted we were with Wilsons stay with Marcia, Andy & Lola, this is one loving home......Marcia is a devoted dog person to any breed and clearly ensures that the dog is comfortable and looked after in her company. Wilson loved his stay with his new friend Lola and we have already booked him in for our next break with others to follow. Updates on the dogs well being during our holiday were really appreciated and I personally cannot recommend Marcia G enough.”
“Communication was excellent from start to finish. Our booking was short notice and Hannah was very accommodating. Our very lively cocker spaniel had a lovely time. Will definitely use Hannah again”
