“John & Teresa looked after our ‘giant teddy bear’ Calli for 8 nights in February while we went abroad. We had previously had a one night trial to ensure all went well. Leaving a dog is a big decision - but with John & Teresa, we knew all would be well as soon as we first met them. They are true dog lovers who ensured that Calli was well looked after and given long and varied walks to keep her happy. When it came time to collect Calli, it was very clear that she had made a special bond with John & Teresa and that was lovely to see. We have already booked another 8 night stay in April. Thanks John & Teresa for taking such good care of Calli-Bear.”
“It was our first time having a sitter for Spark and I felt really reassured when meeting Tarnya. She clearly has alot of experience with dogs and I knew that Spark would be well looked after. Thanks so much for looking after him, I'm sure he will be back soon!”
“Jamie and his family cared for my dog Nellie for a week in May. Communication with them was really easy, and I received photographs and written updates regularly which was really reassuring. I will certainly book them again when I need someone to care for her.”
“Edwina and her partner were absolutely fantastic! We had updates each day of our boy Vinnie and he looked completely content and happy in the pictures received. Communication was great and she made sure to have a full breakdown of Vinnies needs and preferences prior to our booking. Would definitely recommend Edwina to anyone in need of a dog sitter 😊”
“I needed a last-minute dog sitter. Thankfully, Leah was willing to accomodate my dog. I felt reassured that as soon as I stepped through the door, she was welcoming and friendly. Leah had already read all the care notes and was very attentive to my dogs extra needs. He enjoyed his stay and is lookong forward to the next visit.”
“Ziggy had a great couple of days with Gary. It was clear from the lovely photos and videos he generously sent that she was happy, relaxed, and well cared for. Would definitely book again!”
“Maria looked after our nervous dog Peggy at late notice and made her feel at home. Maria was very caring towards Peggy and great at communicating - thank you for giving her a great stay!”
“Leah and Cameron have looked after my cat twice now, first time for a few days and the recent one was for a whole week. Milo is a very shy cat and is very used to his home environment. Leah and Cameron have gone above and beyond to make him feel comfortable and help him get settled in with them. They have stuck to his diet, played with him and made him a little den so he feels safe. He settled in extremely well with them both and started to get comfortable with them within a few days, he’s been meowing after them for attention and that’s a positive sign he happy. Can’t thank you both enough for everything you both have done for him and won’t hesitate to use them again or recommend to others. See you both soon for cat sitting and thank you so much.”
“Coco was absolutely amazing .I couldn’t recommend her services more! The daily photo and video updates made me so happy and reassured to see how much fun my dog was having. It was clear that my dog was well cared for, loved, and enjoying every moment. I will definitely be using Coco’s services again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter.”
“I can't recommend Jacqueline enough! She mentioned this was her first time boarding, but you’d never know it - she’s an absolute natural. My dog had an amazing time with her! I got tons of adorable photos showing her smiling, exploring parks, and relaxing in the garden. It was clear she felt right at home and I’ve already booked our next stay. Thank you, Jacqueline!”
“Lauren was amazing at looking after Parsley, couldn’t have asked for anything more! We felt super comfortable the entire time knowing that parsley was having a really lovely time. It was so nice to get updates every day! Thank you again!!”
“I am extremely pleased with the care Jackson received today, from my initial call and conversation I knew that Jackson would be in safe experienced hands. Throughout the day I was updated with text and photos of Jacksons adventures, and a great one of him having a nap looking all at home and cosy. Exceptional service given.”
“Negin was amazing, being available last minute and giving Cardi much needed safety and love during a difficult few days for me and her! Easy to communicate, always kept me updated on how things were going and I could see how comfortable she was able to get Cardi to be. Totally recommended.”
“Our 9 year old poodle x whippet, Bruno, had a wonderful stay with Manuela. Manuela kept me updated with lovely messages and videos and it was great peace of mind seeing Bruno so happy with Manuela. Manuela is very experienced and knew how to take good care of Bruno and keep him happy and safe. I'm so glad we found Manuela and will definitely use her services again.”

About: We’ve had family dogs for the last 13 years and with my parents working away a lot and being the oldest son I’ve had responsibilities of looking after the dogs, feeding, caring, walking and training them. I’m currently working part time which takes up my evenings meaning I’m free 7 days a week up till about 4pm and love walking and being outdoors especially with pups. I would care for your pets by feeding them, exercising them regularly, and giving them constant companionship. I will follow the pet owners instructions and be attentive to the dogs needs and communicate any issues which may arise promptly with the owner.
About: I've grown up around dogs all my life and they've always been part of my family. While I haven't owned a dog myself as an adult, I regularly care for my sister's dog, both in her home and in my own flat, so I'm comfortable with day-to-day routines, walks, feeding, playtime and providing plenty of attention and companionship. I work remotely from home, which gives me plenty of flexibility throughout the day to care for pets. This means I can accommodate daytime walks, drop-in visits, feeding schedules and toilet breaks, rather than being limited to mornings and evenings. For dogs boarding with me, they will have company for most of the day and won't be left alone for long periods. I can provide regular walks, playtime and attention alongside maintaining their usual routine. I'm also available for house sitting and can work remotely from your home, allowing me to spend more time with your pet and minimize disruption to their normal environment and schedule. Your pet's safety, comfort and wellbeing are my top priorities. I live in a first-floor flat in a quiet area and take care to provide a calm and safe environment for any dog in my care. Although I do not have a garden, I live next to a canal, with plenty of nearby green space and walking routes, making it easy to provide regular exercise, enrichment and outdoor time throughout the day. As I work remotely, I am able to keep a close eye on pets in my care and ensure they receive plenty of attention and companionship. I understand that every dog has different needs and routines, and I will always follow your instructions carefully to help them feel settled, happy and secure while you're away. I'm also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind that your pet is being well looked after.
About: I have over 15 years of personal experience caring for cats, from growing up with my family’s 12-year-old senior cat to co-owning a cat for 4 years. I truly understand feline behavior, boundaries, and how to make them feel safe. I've even successfully trained cats to walk on a leash and play treat-guessing games! I am a regular, trusted cat sitter for my friends' pets, and I recently completed a wonderful month-long boarding stay for a cat at my place. I live on my own in a large, quiet house with a big garden, making it a peaceful, stress-free environment for your pets. I have a lot of love to give and plenty of free time right now to focus entirely on your furry friends, whether they stay at my home or I visit yours. While cats are my specialty, I am also very open to hosting or visiting calm, friendly dogs to expand my care experience! I work completely from home, which means my schedule is highly flexible and I am around all day. Your pet will never be left alone for long periods. My daily routine revolves around providing consistent companionship, sticking strictly to your feeding and medication schedules, and building in plenty of dedicated time for play, grooming, and mental stimulation (or leash walks if they are trained for it!). Because I have a lot of free time right now, your pet will truly be my top priority. In My Home: I live alone in a large, quiet house with a big, secure garden, offering a peaceful environment free from the stress of children or other resident pets. Before any stay, I meticulously pet-proof the space. Your pet will have full freedom to roam, explore, and find their favorite cozy spots. I am extremely mindful of open doors and windows to ensure absolute safety. In Your Home: I treat your home with the utmost respect, keeping everything clean and secure. During drop-in visits, I focus entirely on making your pet feel safe and loved while you are away. Communication: Trust is everything to me. I will send you daily updates, photos, and videos so you can see exactly how much fun and love your furry friend is getting!

“Rebecca was absolutely amazing! From the moment I booked the drop-in visits for my cat, I felt completely at ease. She was incredibly professional, kind, and attentive to every detail. My cat, who can be a bit shy, immediately warmed up to her — a true testament to Rebecca’s gentle and caring nature. She sent thorough updates and adorable photos during each visit, which made me feel so connected and reassured while I was away. I could tell she genuinely cared about my cat’s well-being and went above and beyond to make sure she was happy and comfortable. I can't recommend Rebecca enough — she is reliable, thoughtful, and has a true gift with animals. I will definitely be booking with her again”
“Highly recommend Zoe - she is always reliable and excellent at communicating and loves cats. Our rescue cat can become very anxious but she is always so settled and happy on our return whenever Zoe looks after her. We really appreciate having Zoe being our cat sitter - she has helped us on multiple occasions.”
“Rabi is an excellent cat sitter and Sooty and I can highly recommend him! Nothing is too much trouble. Rabi kept us regularly updated with photos, videos and messages to put our minds at rest. Rabi is extremely reliable and professional and Sooty adores him!”
“Hannah did the best job that she could've with our very timid cat. She was happy to do a meetup in advance of the booking which was very useful. Hannah arrived on time for the bookings and was happy to follow the instructions we left and gave updates on Evie. Would book again if we go away!”
About: Ever since I was a very young child I have loved cats, and have had cats of my own since I was 8. Taking care of them gives me great joy, and I have close bonds with both of my cats. When I’m home from university, I work at a local cattery, where I am responsible for feeding the cats, cleaning their pens and ensuring their general well-being, as well as giving them lots of fuss! I find my job very rewarding, which is why I am looking to extend my skills into cat sitting, a job which I believe my experience from work would make me well equipped to do. I have experience dealing with cats of all kinds of temperaments, from painstakingly shy to aggressive, and I feel confident in dealing with whatever a cat could throw at me. I also have experience in administering medications in food and water, as well as some types of oral medications, so I would be more than happy to provide this service if your car required it.
About: Hello, my name is Shirley :) Animals have always been an important part of my life. I grew up with two dogs in my family home, and later became a cat mum myself. I have been raising my cat since he was a 3-month-old kitten, and he is now over 3 years old. Living closely with a cat every day has helped me understand how important patience, gentleness, and consistency are. I’m experienced with: * Feeding & fresh water routines * Litter cleaning * Playtime & companionship * Basic grooming and care * Sending regular photo and video updates to owners I’m a responsible, clean, and non-smoking person who will treat your pets as if they were my own. My goal is not only to look after them safely, but also to make sure they feel loved and comfortable while you are away. Hoping to Be Someone You Can Trust * Gentle and patient personality * Real experience raising a cat from kittenhood * Comfortable with shy and sensitive cats * Responsible and detail-oriented * Regular updates with photos/videos * Thoughtful home care support including plant watering, bringing in mail/parcels and light tidying during visits. I’d truly appreciate the chance to help care for your cat, and I’ll always do my best to make both you and your pet feel comfortable and well cared for.
About: I've been looking after cats for friends and family since I was a teenager and have experience caring for cats with different personalities and routines. I understand that every cat is unique—some enjoy lots of interaction and playtime, while others prefer a quieter approach and their own space. When caring for cats, I'm happy to follow their usual routine, including feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter trays, administering basic care, and spending time with them to provide companionship and reassurance while their owners are away. I know how important it is for cats to feel comfortable and secure in their own environment, so I always aim to minimise disruption and make sure they receive attentive, reliable care. I'm also happy to provide regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind while they're away.
About: What sets me apart is the range of hands-on experience I’ve had with animals. I worked in a vet clinic for a month and have volunteered at rescues such as Moohaven and Guardian Angel Bird Sanctuary, which gave me experience with animals of all sizes and temperaments. I’ve also cared for a variety of pets at home and through volunteering — from dogs and cats to chickens and turtles — so I’m confident handling different needs and routines. Growing up with two cats of my own has also given me the patience and understanding to make pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved.

About: I have years of experience looking after pets, I grew up around cats and dogs and even looked after a family friends tortoise when they went on holiday.

About: Hello, I’m Luisa — a professional photographer with over 20 years’ experience capturing the world through my lens. When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll find me at home with my three beloved cats: Kiki, Mila, and Cleo — two gentle Birmans and one playful Maine Coon. Cats have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I adore their unique personalities, gentle company, and the comfort they bring to a home. Living with three very different breeds has given me hands-on experience with everything from grooming and play to quiet companionship. As a cat sitter, I bring the same dedication, patience, and attention to detail that I apply in my photography. You can trust that your cat will be cared for with genuine love and respect — and I’ll be sure to send you thoughtful photo updates, so you can feel close to them even while you’re away.
“Jemma was absolutely amazing. She sent me regularly updates and pictures at every visit and made sure to give Yoshi all the love and care. I definitely will be having her to look after my Yoshi again! ”

“Laura looked after my miniature dachshund brilliantly. It was my first time using the app, Laura put me at ease and sent lots of photos throughout the day. Zeus was clearly very comfortable with her, and received lots of cuddles. Laura took time to listen/ read Zeus’ needs as he has a few fears. We picked him up a very happy dog. I would not hesitate to book Laura again 😊”
“Pip spent a lovely day with David, Angie and Rolo. He was welcomed into their home with kindness and enthusiasm. They took careful note of Pip’s routine and we felt completely reassured by their caring approach. Thank you! We’ll see you again soon!”

About: Hello! I’m a lifelong pet lover who simply adores being around animals. While I don’t hold official professional certificates, I offer something just as valuable: over 10 years of genuine, hands-on experience looking after dogs from playful puppies right through to sweet seniors. I’m lucky to have a natural bond with dogs—they usually sense my love for them straight away! It’s a running joke that usually female dogs end up giving me kisses on our very first meeting. Back home, I'm a proud owner of two lovely bunnies, so my life truly revolves around animal welfare and happiness. My Doggy Experience • A Decade of Love: I’ve spent the last 10 years learning exactly what dogs need at different stages of their lives, from high-energy pup play to gentle senior strolls. • Breeds I’ve Loved & Looked After: I used to own a wonderful Mongrel in Hong Kong and have plenty of experience dog-sitting Poodles and Shiba Inus. How I Can Help You • Holiday Dog Sitting: I’ll stay at your home to keep your furry friend company while you’re away, ensuring their routine doesn't change and they feel completely safe. • Dog Walking: Reliable, fun walks to stretch those legs and burn off some energy. A Little Note from Me: I might not have a piece of paper qualification, but I have a huge heart and a home-from-home approach. I promise to treat your dog like a member of my own family! I work for a consulting firm with highly flexible working hours and a remote-working environment. I could control over my schedule and can easily work from your home while keeping your dog company. Mirror their usual day-to-day life : Before you head away, I will make sure to fully understand your dog’s exact daily routine—including their precise feeding times, favourite walking routes, sleeping habits, and any specific quirks. Your furry friend won't be left alone for long periods; I will be there to offer tummy rubs, toilet breaks, and attention throughout the day while I work!
“Negin took such amazing care of our little girl! She has an amazing approach, even though our girl is a nervous one. They had a great walk together, and Bridget was really happy afterwards. Will definitely book again xx”

For dogs boarding with me, they will have company for most of the day and won't be left alone for long periods. I can provide regular walks, playtime and attention alongside maintaining their usual routine. I'm also available for house sitting and can work remotely from your home, allowing me to spend more time with your pet and minimize disruption to their normal environment and schedule. Your pet's safety, comfort and wellbeing are my top priorities. I live in a first-floor flat in a quiet area and take care to provide a calm and safe environment for any dog in my care. Although I do not have a garden, I live next to a canal, with plenty of nearby green space and walking routes, making it easy to provide regular exercise, enrichment and outdoor time throughout the day. As I work remotely, I am able to keep a close eye on pets in my care and ensure they receive plenty of attention and companionship. I understand that every dog has different needs and routines, and I will always follow your instructions carefully to help them feel settled, happy and secure while you're away. I'm also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind that your pet is being well looked after.
About: What sets me apart is the range of hands-on experience I’ve had with animals. I worked in a vet clinic for a month and have volunteered at rescues such as Moohaven and Guardian Angel Bird Sanctuary, which gave me experience with animals of all sizes and temperaments. I’ve also cared for a variety of pets at home and through volunteering — from dogs and cats to chickens and turtles — so I’m confident handling different needs and routines. Growing up with two dogs and a cat of my own has also given me the patience and understanding to make pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved. As a sixth form student, I have a fairly flexible routine. I’m usually available in the afternoons, evenings, and on weekends, which works well for walks, drop-ins, or pet sitting. I enjoy spending my free time with animals, so fitting pet care into my day feels natural. I can adjust around my school schedule to make sure pets get the time, attention, and care they need. For drop-ins, I make sure pets have fresh food and water, a potty break, and some playtime or cuddles so they feel happy and comfortable while their owners are away. I always check that everything is safe and secure before I leave. For dog walks, I focus on giving each dog the right balance of exercise and fun, whether that’s a brisk walk or a slower pace for older dogs. I keep walks safe by using secure leads, being aware of surroundings, and tailoring the walk to each dog’s needs and energy level
About: I'm a dedicated dog lover with a passion for providing a loving care in a safe and happy environment. I completely understand how important it is to find someone that takes care of dog properly and to trust them. I have a 5yr old Golden Retriever. I have previously worked in a kennel for 3yrs. I have previously had a rescue greyhound and rehomed a Staffordshire bull terrier. Here to offer reliable, loving and personalised care for your dog while you're away. I work from home but my job is very flexible. I will often walk my dog for a hour or more at lunch or even earlier if needed. I am confident that I will be able to accommodate all requests I have a very friendly and loving Golden Retriever. We love to go out for long walks followed by a snack and a snuggle on the sofa.
About: I have over 15 years of personal experience caring for cats, from growing up with my family’s 12-year-old senior cat to co-owning a cat for 4 years. I truly understand feline behavior, boundaries, and how to make them feel safe. I've even successfully trained cats to walk on a leash and play treat-guessing games! I am a regular, trusted cat sitter for my friends' pets, and I recently completed a wonderful month-long boarding stay for a cat at my place. I live on my own in a large, quiet house with a big garden, making it a peaceful, stress-free environment for your pets. I have a lot of love to give and plenty of free time right now to focus entirely on your furry friends, whether they stay at my home or I visit yours. While cats are my specialty, I am also very open to hosting or visiting calm, friendly dogs to expand my care experience! I work completely from home, which means my schedule is highly flexible and I am around all day. Your pet will never be left alone for long periods. My daily routine revolves around providing consistent companionship, sticking strictly to your feeding and medication schedules, and building in plenty of dedicated time for play, grooming, and mental stimulation (or leash walks if they are trained for it!). Because I have a lot of free time right now, your pet will truly be my top priority. In My Home: I live alone in a large, quiet house with a big, secure garden, offering a peaceful environment free from the stress of children or other resident pets. Before any stay, I meticulously pet-proof the space. Your pet will have full freedom to roam, explore, and find their favorite cozy spots. I am extremely mindful of open doors and windows to ensure absolute safety. In Your Home: I treat your home with the utmost respect, keeping everything clean and secure. During drop-in visits, I focus entirely on making your pet feel safe and loved while you are away. Communication: Trust is everything to me. I will send you daily updates, photos, and videos so you can see exactly how much fun and love your furry friend is getting!
About: As an avid dog loved, and having had dogs all my life, I understand the importance of finding someone trustworthy and caring to look after your furry friends. I have extensive experience in caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes. My approach to dog sitting is rooted in compassion and understanding, ensuring your pup feels safe, loved and engaged whilst you’re away. I currently work from home 5 days a week and love going on walks, so looking after your furry friends does not impact my routine. I have a fenced back garden, and no current dogs of my own so your dog will have my undivided attention and will be safe at all times.

“Joss walked Freddie for 2 days and gave such good communication and feed back. He kept him in the shade on such a hot day and I felt at ease knowing that he was in safe, caring hands! Will deffo use again if in the area!”
About: I have grown up around dogs since I was around 11 when I pleaded my parents (with a carefully crafted PowerPoint presentation) to have a dog of my own. My first dog was Lottie the Labradoodle, who we sadly lost last year after 12 and half great years! To keep Lottie company in her old age we found Harley the Cockapoo. Far more work than we imagined but definitely worth the challenge. Harley taught us the difference between food and toy orientated dogs and really gave us an appreciation for training. When we lost Lottie and saw how hard Harley took the loss we found Maya, our 6 month old Australian Labradoodle. The biggest bundle of fluff on the planet !! I am currently a paralegal working at a law firm but have a few work from home days which I would love to spend looking after your dog! I work 9-5 however it is all remote! Sometimes I would be needed for meetings however these usually never last more than a two hours maximum. I If your dog wanted a little staycation at mine that’s no problem! I have a completely fenced back garden with grass and places for them to relax if need be. I live near a couple of lovely walks so would be happy taking them there or if your dog is a couch potato I have a comfy one waiting for them! If I was watching your dog in your own home that’s no issue as well! I am happy to come and make sure they have had their water and toilet breaks (with the obvious snuggle and playtime in between). Having a desk job as well I am super keen to get my steps in each day so would be more than happy to take them on a good walk as well!
“Nicola was great with Nala, she kept me updated on her visit and provided great pictures of their walk. She was on time, left the house clean and tidy even after a very muddy walk. I’ll definitely use Nicola again! Great service”
About: I grew up in a 'dog family,' having always been surrounded by family and friends' pets. My background is deeply rooted in animal welfare; my family and I regularly rescue and foster dogs in need. This hands-on experience has made me naturally adept at caring for dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperaments. Whether it is a high-energy puppy, a senior dog needing gentle care, or a rescue dog that requires extra patience to build trust, I am comfortable adapting to their specific needs. I pride myself on building a natural bond with every dog I meet, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well-exercised while their owners are away. I mostly work from home, which allows me to be very flexible with my time and provide plenty of companionship for your dog. My typical routine includes a long morning walk before I start work, with additional walks in the late afternoon or evening depending on your dog's specific energy levels and needs. I am also fully available for boarding from Friday through to the end of the weekend. have a secure, fully fenced garden where dogs can play safely outdoors under supervision. Inside, I provide a calm and spacious indoor environment where your dog can relax and feel at home. Whether they prefer a quiet corner for a nap or plenty of space to stretch out, I ensure they have a dedicated area that meets their needs.
About: Hi I am the proud foster Mummy to a lovely tabby cat called Charlotte. She is my world ♡ Charlotte got lost at Skegness a while back for 27 days, but after a lot of hard work, tears and sleepless nights I found her and she was brought safely back home. I look forward to meeting you and looking after your fur babies when you and they need some extra help with lots of fuss and cuddles xx Any of my friends can tell you I adore cats. I always carry around a packet of cat treats in my car as I'm driving around for work providing social care rehabilitation in the community, just incase I see any feline friends on my travels. I have a full DBS check and will promise to give your little one(s) as much love, care and attention as I do my own. One thing I love about my job is the opportunity to meet new people and their pets :) I live in Mapperley and have my own car so I can travel a little further afield. I have experience administering medications onto food and applying eye drops. I'm not confident in giving oral medications or injections, but if shown I'm sure I will be fine :) I can do drop in visits for your fur babies at your own home so your cat feels comfortable in their own surroundings or I can look after them at my property. I am already a registered cat sitter on Cat in a flat.
About: Dogs are my favourite animal. I’ve taken care of multiple dogs from my previous host families, ranging from Yorkshire Terrier, Bulldog to Schnauzer. I can manage different energy levels, from providing gentle care to engaging in active playtime and daily walks. I’m a uni student at the University of Nottingham, and I am mostly available in the afternoons. I’m also available from 9am on weekends. I offer a loving home environment with a fully fenced garden for safe playtime. My two friendly dogs adore making new friends and will keep your fur baby company all day! I am also happy to provide crate training support or individual quiet time if your pet needs a break.
About: We’ve had family dogs for the last 13 years and with my parents working away a lot and being the oldest son I’ve had responsibilities of looking after the dogs, feeding, caring, walking and training them. I’m currently working part time which takes up my evenings meaning I’m free 7 days a week up till about 4pm and love walking and being outdoors especially with pups. I would care for your pets by feeding them, exercising them regularly, and giving them constant companionship. I will follow the pet owners instructions and be attentive to the dogs needs and communicate any issues which may arise promptly with the owner.
About: I've been around dogs for as long as I can remember. Growing up my family would foster rescue dogs, so we often had dogs live with us with complex behavioural and medical needs. My entire adult life I have owned my own pets and have regularly cared for those of my friends and family. I work from home with flexible hours, so will always be around for your pet. They will never be left alone during their stay here. I also take all visiting dogs out with me, such as visiting family or for dinner, so they will get plenty of socialising during their stay. I currently work flexibly from home, so I can meet a dogs needs quite easily and be very adaptable in the care I am able to provide. I have a fenced garden and are right next to the river for plenty of walking. If your dog sleeps upstairs with you, I will replicate this during their stay with me so they feel as comfortable as possible.

“From the moment we met David and Angie at our initial meet and greet, I knew that Chester would feel right at home with them. They clearly have a love for dogs and really enjoy looking after them. Their communication was excellent from start to finish and I absolutely loved the fact they wanted to know every detail about Chester in order for him to be relaxed and comfortable and to stay as close to his normal routine as possible. I could tell when we picked him up that he had had a great time and I really appreciated the photos and updates we received. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with David and Angie again. Thank you!”
“Jordan is amazing! I couldn't find a better person to take care of Ringo! Jordan is very professional, she knows how to take care of big dogs. She also offered Ringo, while I was abroad, a home! Ringo loved Jordan and he also had the company of her own dog, Fudge. Fudge and Ringo became best friends and both enjoyed playing and habving long walks in the park.
