“This was the first time I had left Hank with anyone and I was probably more nervous than he was, but Millie was amazing with him, constant updates with pictures and videos and it was clear he settles really well which just put me at ease. I cannot recommend highly enough and Millie will be my first point of contact if I have to go away again. Thank you Milloe for all you did for Hank”
About: Hi! I'm a reliable, caring animal lover with a very active 4 year old labrador of my own. I understand that every dog has their own personality and needs, I'll make sure that they feel safe & happy whilst you're away. Whether it's walks, playtime, cuddles, or sticking to their usual schedule, I'll care for your dog as if they were my own. I'm trustworthy, patient, and committed to giving you peace of mind, with plenty of updates along the way if you'd like them Please note; I am only available on weekends. My dog is very friendly but if it's an issue I can arrange for my partner to take care of him. I work full time so I am only available on weekends. My dog is very active and enjoys long walks in the Rutland Countryside, but I will work this around your dogs needs. I have a fenced garden, access to great walks and have a friendly dog to keep yours company, if thats an issue there is option of my dog going to my partners home.
“Laurie was amazing with my boys and they now have another friend to visit. When we initially met she was thoughtful with the questions she asked about my boys and considered things I hadn’t thought of. She sent pictures of her adventures with my boys as well as being snuggled at the end of the day. I was fully reassured that they were having a great time as much as I was. Will definitely ask Laurie again and would highly recommend.”
“I can't thank Chloe enough for taking good care of my cat. Chloe was very easy to communicate with, we had to change times and dates due to me moving house too and she really helped and was very flexible. I was constantly updated on how my cat was settling and really nice pictures. Made me happy and I could just relax knowing she was being well care for. Will 100% book again!!”
“Probably the best home care available. Ann gets to know your dogs full routine and needs, then adheres to it. She clearly cares about providing excellent care for the dogs she takes in and looks after them extremely well, whilst keeping you informed on a daily basis of how they are settling and getting on. Going forward should I need my dog boarded, Ann will be 1st choice.”
“I picked up our Boston Terrier, Edie, today after an overnight stay with Simon, and it was another very positive experience. Once again, I found him to be highly responsible, professional, and kind. He was eager to learn about Edie's habits, likes, and dislikes, and nothing seemed to be too much trouble. I provided a list of her commands, routine, and little quirks, but I felt that even if I had forgotten something, he would easily handle whatever came up. Simon was also incredibly helpful when I accidentally left a couple of Edie's things behind, generously offering some of his own for her to use. When I collected Edie, she was bright and happy, and they had just been outside playing in the garden together. Additionally, his house and neighbourhood are very safe environments. I didn't worry about her getting into trouble inside because his home is so organised and tidy. The neighbourhood has plenty of green space for walks and feels like a close-knit community. I have already booked Edie in for another overnight stay with Simon. I expect it will go just as well, and I know Edie will be happy to see him again!”
“Karina is obviously an animal lover and took good care of my cat. She sent regular updates and reached out to ask about his habits etc. When we went to pick him up he seemed very comfortable and confident in his holiday home. Thanks”
“This was our first and definitely not our last experience of booking a sitter. After the initial communication we arranged a visit to ensure Bonnie would feel happy to stay away for the night. The sitters were friendly, attentive and showed a great love for dogs. We would definitely recommend anyone to book and would have no concerns to have Bonnie stay here again. Thank you for taking good care of Bonnie while we went to watch Oasis.”

“Mason had such a lovely stay with Liga and her dogs! It was so smooth from the first introduction to picking him up. We got fantastic daily updates and Mason looked so happy in all of them. It was our first time using a dog sitter instead of kennels and we would honestly never go back after such a great experience. Thank you again Liga!”
“Paige is fab! Betty had a great stay with her, exploring lots of new things and I felt really at ease knowing she was being looked after by someone who has so much love and care for animals. Communication was great, lots of photos/videos. Would definitely recommend.”
“Abbie took our Pomeranian Coco into her home and treated her as one of the family. Abbie kept me updated sending photos and videos putting our mind at ease and Coco had a ball of a time. We will definitely book Abbie again when we go on holiday.”
“Shaun and Jackie were very accommodating for my dog Olives 1st visit. Olive was made to feel at ease and appears to have settled in as part of their family. We felt confident and were provided with updates over her visit. Olive will return to Shaun and Jackie’s on a regular basis and we are confident she is well looked after and safe. If people are looking for a great dog sitter, we would highly recommend Shaun and Jackie.”
“Rebecca was brilliant with Twiglet! Went above and beyond to ensure she was happy and well fed! Thank you for everything Rebecca! Also enjoyed seeing the pictures throughout of Twiglet playing with Rebecca's dog!”

About: I have had cats for as long as I can remember, growing up with them from a very young age. Over the years, I’ve developed a deep understanding of their behaviour, personalities, and individual needs. Currently, I have three cats of my own and two dogs, so caring for multiple cats and managing different temperaments is something I’m very comfortable with. I absolutely love cats—honestly, I’m a bit obsessed. I enjoy spending time with them, whether that’s playing with energetic kittens or giving gentle attention to older, more relaxed cats. I’m experienced with cats at all stages of life, from young, playful kittens to senior cats who may need a quieter, more attentive approach. I’m committed to providing a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment for any cat in my care. I understand that every cat is different, and I’m more than happy to accommodate their individual routines, preferences, and needs—whether that means sticking to specific feeding schedules, administering basic care, or simply giving them the space or affection they require to feel at ease.

“Angie was absolutely amazing with our cat Chandler. From the very first visit, it was clear she genuinely cares and takes her responsibility seriously. She kept us updated during every drop-in with messages and photos, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Chandler was clearly comfortable and well looked after, and we couldn’t have asked for better care. We would 100% book Angie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and thoughtful sitter.”

About: I am currently looking after a dog for a friend on a weekly basis, often going to the park, looking after him overnight, and sometimes day trips. I have raised my family dog since he was a puppy, so am fully aware of what that entails. When I go back home, I walk and take care of him. I live with my boyfriend who has had cats in the past, so I am used to having them in the house and how to take care of them. With this, I have lots of experience of walking, feeding, bathing, and keeping pets happy! I'm currently working from home full-time, so can look after pets at any time! My hours are also very flexible so I'm able to go for walks during my working day. I live in a flat, with a secure back garden that is fenced in. The front door to the flat block is always kept locked. I am happy to do whatever is needed to keep your pet safe and happy!
About: I’ve been involved with animals ever since I can remember! From owning 3 horses and 2 beloved rescue dogs! I know how to adapt and change to each animal understanding not all of them are the same. I am also a qualified nurse so from my animal experience and nursing experience I’ve learnt how to communicate with both owner and animal. I work as an nurse as hoc and have enjoyed taking a break from the hospital!! And I have a wide range of availability and will most likely be free! I can communicate effectively with you the owner to understand where your pet is allowed. From owning two rescue dogs I’m also aware of certain dogs being afraid or aggressive to other dogs so I would walk on other side of the path to keep dogs away. I have had a huge experience around poorly pets- My current rescue has to have regular medication including injections and eye drops, I have also had experience with strokes amongst dogs and post operative care. My being a vet has enabled me to pick up critical information for dealing with emergency’s and the general health and well being of animals. I am also aware that dogs love company and like other dogs so I’m suited to all pet needs. I also give great cuddles and I seem to have a good track record with pets and they seem to always want more! I have plenty of time to play with your pups or cats due to being a newly graduate from university. I am available weekdays, weekends and all times of the day. I will ensure your dog remains in eye contact to make sure there’s no escapes. My sister is a qualified vet and my experience and knowledge of emergency care has grown from her. I will have your vets contact number in my phone before any visit/sitting.

About: I’ve had experience with a variety of dogs throughout childhood, but have raised labradors from puppies in my adult life. Whilst having the opportunity to be at home through the week, the biggest thing I can offer you is my time and dedication; I love all breeds and no requirement is too small. Please feel free to get in touch, even if just for a chat! My long term plans involve completing my studies to become a mental health practitioner, so I have a lot of home availability and wanted to fill my time with something that I’m really passionate about. I have a fenced garden, security cameras and a friendly Labrador to keep your dog company and entertained! I’m always attentive to making sure Toby is fed, has access to water bowls, and acknowledging communication and signals for their biological needs and play schedules! Very happy to do a meet and greet to see how you, and perhaps most importantly, your dog feels in our environment!

“Pitch has a fantastic day with Cordelia he absolutely loved his walk and we loved receiving the photos of him having the time of his life. We will definitely be returning! Thank you so much!”
“Carl and Clare went above and beyond to have Henry at short notice during a family emergency. I was reassured the minute I met them - the very definition of 'dog people'! Very thorough pre brief and kept me updated with photos on the day. They took away a lot of stress for me during a very stressful time. Henry had the time of his life with his new gang and slept so long I had to wake him up for his breakfast the next day (unheard of!)”
About: I have over 15 years of personal experience caring for my own dogs, alongside 3 years of professional experience running my own freelance dog walking and house sitting business.

I tailor my care to each pet’s individual routine, personality and needs.

When pets stay in my home, I provide a calm, comfortable and friendly environment. I live on a 500 acre estate with lots of surrounding fields and countryside, giving dogs plenty of opportunities for walks and exercise.

About: From a very young age, I have always had a huge love for animals and have grown up surrounded by pets. Dogs have always held a special place in my heart, and caring for them is something I am truly passionate about. I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy and caring to look after your dog, and I myself would find it difficult to trust anyone with my babies. I can assure you that every dog in my care will be treated with the same love, attention, and affection as my two Cockapoos Malibu & Cleo get. Their happiness, comfort, and safety will always be my top priority. Whether it’s walks, playing, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, I will make sure your dog feels loved and well cared for always whilst they are away from you.

“Helen was very sensitive to the fact Lily is unsure in unfamiliar places and let her find her own spot where she was comfortable. Lily was relaxed and happy when I picked her up.”

I have 2 dogs of my own - a Golden Retriever and a Cockapoo - both have exceptional temperaments and are very used to other dogs visiting.

About: Your Experience I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and have always had a huge love for them. Unfortunately, now that I’m an adult, my lifestyle doesn’t allow me to have a dog of my own, so I love getting my dog fix by looking after everyone else’s! I’m the designated sitter for my sister and two friends, regularly looking after their dogs whenever they go away for weekends or holidays. I also walk my neighbour’s dog in the evenings when they’re working late. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs of all shapes, sizes and personalities, whether that means long walks, playing, keeping them company or simply giving them plenty of attention and cuddles. I’m also a regular runner, so if your dog is particularly energetic and needs more than a gentle stroll, I’m more than happy to give them the exercise they need. Every dog is different, and I’m very happy to follow whatever routine, exercise and care your dog is used to. My priority is making sure they feel happy, safe and well cared for while you’re away. I work full-time during the week, but I’m available for morning and evening walks, weekend care and overnight stays when arranged in advance. If your stay away is during the week I’m available to work from home. I’m active and regularly go running and walking, so I’m very happy to fit your dog’s usual exercise routine into my day. I’m flexible and will always work around their individual needs and your schedule. Your dog’s safety and happiness will always be my priority. I’ll make sure walks are calm, enjoyable and suited to your dog’s individual needs, age and energy levels. I’m experienced with dogs and understand the importance of following their usual routines, boundaries and instructions. I’ll keep you updated during walks and treat your dog with the same care and attention I would give my own. Your home will also be treated with respect and left secure and exactly as I found it. Above all, I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing your dog is in safe, caring hands while you’re away.
“Helen was great. My pooch seemed happy and well when I got home after a long day at work. Helen even put one of our escaped hens away - going above and beyond the dog walks we'd asked her to do. I'll definitely book Helen again 😊”
“Sarah looked after our pooch, Milo for 2 weeks whilst we were away She updated us daily and sent photos to keep us in the loop and reassured. Could not of asked more. Would 100% recommend”
About: With a lifetime of experience caring for all manner of animals, I provide home-from-home care tailored to each pet's unique needs. I’m skilled in administering medication and always treat any pets in my care as if they were my own. I will always follow your pets’ routines in your absence, in order help them feel safe and secure. I’m accustomed to caring for animals of all ages; from the very young to the more senior, I love them all and their gorgeous unique personalities. I thoroughly enjoy making connections with my furry friends and their owners alike. I have many returning clients and go above and beyond to ensure both your pets and you are completely satisfied with all the services I provide. I have received many five star wonderful reviews from pet owners over the years. One of my greatest pleasures is walking in nature with the dogs in my care; whether it’s a woodland adventure or a splash by the water, I offer diverse walks for your fur babies to enjoy, that include opportunities for socialisation with other dogs and humans. I am home full time as I have an online tutoring business working with students around the world. This enables me to be very focused on the animals in my care throughout the day as my lessons are spread out across the working week. My home is ideally set up to care for your fur babies. I have a large enclosed garden perfect for your fur babies to run around in; they have full access to the garden as they desire as my back door is rarely closed. I have crates, should your pet need crating or you may of course provide your own. I adhere strictly to any special requirements you have regarding the care of your pet. I also have my own private walking field where all dogs are safe to run freely.

“Justin was excellent with Vinny. Vinny really took to him on their meet and greet. This is a great app with photos and updates of the walks. I wouldn't hesitate to use Justin again.”
“Today Oscar visited us again, my dogs recognised him immediately and were very happy of seeing him again. This time after walking my 2 boxers together he also helped me to teach them how to use a special stair for the car boot which I have recently purchased. I can tell that the whole experience was very positive. I learn a lot from Oscar every time on how to interact with my dogs, how to create an easy going environment for the future. Visibly he has a wealth of knowledge on training dogs and control them with kindness, calmness and good energy.”
About: I'M BACK! After taking 6 months off to breed and train my next generation of Rhodesian Ridgebacks, I am happy to say that I am available again! I own two dogs, one cat and two horses, some of whom you can see on my profile! I would definitely say that I am an animal person haha! Over the years, I have learnt dog training skills such as how to remedy a dog who pulls on the lead or jumps up. I am experienced in administering medication for both dogs and cats and can even bathe them for you if needed! I am more than happy to do drop-ins for cats to feed and top up their water when needed if you don’t need me to stay over night! If you have any other small pets, I'm more than happy and experienced in looking after them for you whilst you're away (I grew up with mice, rabbits and Giant African Snails)! If you have horses, there is no need to put them into livery either, as I can look after them too when you go away! A bit about myself: I work from home which fits in great with dog sitting, as all I have to do is remember to bring my laptop with me! Don't worry, your pets will get plenty of exercise, socialisation and of course lots of love and care with me! Working from home means I am able to be around your pets all day, as long as I remember to bring my laptop with me! Our home has a fully secure terraced garden with 6ft+ old stone walls, so there is no escaping! We have many wonderful walks on our doorstep and our house location is quiet and safe. We take the dogs on secure, off-road country walks, and especially enjoy going for walks in the woods!

I have experience looking after dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities, from energetic puppies to senior pets and those who are a little more nervous. My priority is making sure every pet feels safe, relaxed, and comfortable in their own environment while sticking as closely as possible to their usual routine. I take the time to get to know each pet and their individual needs, whether that’s taking things a little slower on walks, keeping to a structured routine, or giving extra care and patience to older or more anxious pets. Occasionally, my partner will join me during a house sit to keep me (and the pets!) company. If that isn’t something you’re comfortable with, or you think it wouldn’t suit your pet, just let me know beforehand and I’m more than happy to work around it. While you’re away, I’ll keep you updated with regular photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pets are happy and well looked after. I always make sure they get plenty of attention, companionship, exercise, and affection, so they feel settled until you’re home again. I’m reliable, punctual, and genuinely love caring for animals. I’ll always treat your pets and your home with the same care and respect as if they were my own. I am currently working and studying from home so I am available for all pet needs and services. Caring for pets is already apart of my daily routine having many pets myself. I’m able to care for pets both in my own home and in the pet owner’s home, depending on what is most comfortable for the pet and preferred by the owner. When caring for pets in the owner’s home, I aim to keep their routine as normal as possible. This includes feeding, fresh water, litter tray cleaning, playtime, and any specific instructions such as medication. I also make sure the home is left clean and secure, and I provide regular updates with photos so the owner has peace of mind. When caring for pets in my own home, I provide a safe, calm, and pet-friendly environment. I ensure they have a comfortable space, follow their usual feeding routine, and give them plenty of attention, exercise, and supervision. I treat every pet as if they were my own and make sure they feel relaxed and cared for during their stay. In both cases, my priority is always the pet’s wellbeing, comfort, and safety.
About: Experienced and reliable dog carer with a strong background in both independent and structured settings. Previously ran a successful dog-walking service and also I’ve spent the past three years pet-sitting and working with dogs across Asia, Australia, Central America, and South America. My experience includes caring for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and needs, as well as hands-on work in dog shelters in Mexico and Australia. Confident in handling multiple dogs, maintaining routines, and ensuring each animal receives attentive, individual care. Working full-time ( mon- fri) with a remote job, the job is not very demanding and doesn’t need me at my desk the whole time so in between tasks I can play around and let them out for a potty break. I care for pets in the owner’s home by maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible, keeping feeding times, walks, play, and rest consistent to reduce stress. I make sure they feel comfortable in their own environment by giving them attention, exercise, and mental stimulation suited to their personality and energy levels. I keep the home clean and organised, follow any specific instructions closely, and monitor their health and behaviour throughout. I also provide regular updates so owners feel confident their pet is safe, settled, and well cared for in their absence.

Whether your dog needs an energetic walk, a gentle stroll, daytime care, overnight sitting or a home from home stay, I’ll provide reliable, attentive and loving care. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your beloved pet, and I’ll treat every dog in my care as if they were my own.

About: Hi, my name is Sim, I'm 25 years old, I work full time but on shifts so I have a range of availability based upon my shift patterns. I've got experience in sitting and walking different breeds, and I'm a big breed lover having my own 3 at home! (3 German shepherds!) Currently I do occasionally dog sit for friends and family, typically their dogs stay over with my 3 dogs who love having friends over! So what sets me apart from other walkers and sitters? Well, I love dogs, I've had 5 years of experience (on and off), all my dogs have been adopted and rehomed - so I've worked with a variety of different dogs with different needs. Recently fostering a dog for 3 months and got her trained up before she went to her new home which she's succeeding in! I own a car so I'm happy to travel. And with your permission if you leave your dog with me over night or for a few days, I can take them to locations such as the Peak District to get some quality time in, otherwise to the local parks and nature reserves. 😁 I do have a really big garden which is fenced off. If we require use of a create then we can encourage that with your dog, we just request to provide a bed or item that your dog is currently familiar with to keep in the crate if crate time is required, we want to keep the environment as familiar as possible to help reduce anxiety. My house has multiple cameras situated throughout the property, inside and outside for peace of mind. I work full time but I work different shifts weekly but I know what I'm working well in advance, and I have my partner to lend a hand. Large garden fenced off, cameras around the house and the outside the house so we have eyes on the property at all times. But someone will always be home.
About: Extensive and secure garden, full access to the house. Great countryside walks in all directions! I spend all day everyday caring for animals and believe in attention to detail and a lot of fun ☺️ I grew up around animals, and am very proficient in animal care. Walks in the countryside every morning and evening to suit dog's needs. We have great access to rivers, forests and beautiful hills. I study part time and have a lot of free time to devote to caring for lovely dogs! I have a large wall garden (photographed) with electric gates. Very secure. Dogs have access to the whole house and access to the garden at all times. Smaller dogs or dogs with different preferences can do less and have constant supervision. Over the past few years I have fostered dogs, had hound puppies in for summer training, cared for elderly and disabled dogs; as well as full time care of my lovely collie.

“I picked up our Boston Terrier, Edie, today after an overnight stay with Simon, and it was another very positive experience. Once again, I found him to be highly responsible, professional, and kind. He was eager to learn about Edie's habits, likes, and dislikes, and nothing seemed to be too much trouble. I provided a list of her commands, routine, and little quirks, but I felt that even if I had forgotten something, he would easily handle whatever came up. Simon was also incredibly helpful when I accidentally left a couple of Edie's things behind, generously offering some of his own for her to use. When I collected Edie, she was bright and happy, and they had just been outside playing in the garden together. Additionally, his house and neighbourhood are very safe environments. I didn't worry about her getting into trouble inside because his home is so organised and tidy. The neighbourhood has plenty of green space for walks and feels like a close-knit community. I have already booked Edie in for another overnight stay with Simon. I expect it will go just as well, and I know Edie will be happy to see him again!”

“Mason had such a lovely stay with Liga and her dogs! It was so smooth from the first introduction to picking him up. We got fantastic daily updates and Mason looked so happy in all of them. It was our first time using a dog sitter instead of kennels and we would honestly never go back after such a great experience. Thank you again Liga!”
“Paige is fab! Betty had a great stay with her, exploring lots of new things and I felt really at ease knowing she was being looked after by someone who has so much love and care for animals. Communication was great, lots of photos/videos. Would definitely recommend.”
“Abbie took our Pomeranian Coco into her home and treated her as one of the family. Abbie kept me updated sending photos and videos putting our mind at ease and Coco had a ball of a time. We will definitely book Abbie again when we go on holiday.”
“Shaun and Jackie were very accommodating for my dog Olives 1st visit. Olive was made to feel at ease and appears to have settled in as part of their family. We felt confident and were provided with updates over her visit. Olive will return to Shaun and Jackie’s on a regular basis and we are confident she is well looked after and safe. If people are looking for a great dog sitter, we would highly recommend Shaun and Jackie.”
“Rebecca was brilliant with Twiglet! Went above and beyond to ensure she was happy and well fed! Thank you for everything Rebecca! Also enjoyed seeing the pictures throughout of Twiglet playing with Rebecca's dog!”
“Hunny had a great time with Lottie over the weekend. They went on nice long walks and she came back very worn out 😅. She was very quick to reply to messages. I would have liked more photos/communication during her stay but also I didn't ask! Over all happy and would book again :)”
“Hilly what a SUPERSTAR! Hilly is super responsive and very kind, she took excellent care of my little fur ball and she came back happier than I’ve ever seen her! Their home is super welcoming, with an enclosed lovely garden space - I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with her. Thanks Hilly for looking after Ratty, I will absolutely be saying her again! 5*”
“Betsy was welcomed with warmth into Kate's home and we felt she was looked after sensitively. We appreciated frequent updates and photos. We would thoroughly recommend Kate and her family as excellent Dog Airbnb hosts! She would certainly be out first port of call should we need Betsy looking after again by anyone other than a family member.”
“After dropping Latrell off I received regular updates and photos from Paige which really put my mind at ease and it was clear Latrell was happy and having lots of fun with her and her extremely cute cockapoos Malibu and Cleo. When I picked Latrell up he was relaxed and in no rush to leave which was great to see. I’m very grateful for the updates and attention Paige gave to Latrell throughout his stay. I will defiantly book again when I needs someone to look after him and I would highly recommend Paige to anyone looking for someone that they can trust to look after there dog like there own.”
“Fantastic! Although Bertie and Reggie are 6 & 7 years old this was the first time we’ve left them with anyone “new” to them and they had a wonderful time with Carl and Clare. We couldn’t be more happy. We now know we can book a proper holiday for ourselves and the boys will be having as much of a treat as we are with none of the associated guilt or worries.”
“Julia was absolutely amazing with Safia ❤️ From the very beginning, she was caring, attentive, communicative, and incredibly thoughtful. She kept me updated throughout the stay with detailed messages about walks, food, water, playtime, and how Safia was doing emotionally, which gave me so much peace of mind, and the most thorough report about her day. She even washed and dried Safia’s blanket after a little accident without hesitation, such a kind gesture that truly shows how much she cares! Safia clearly felt comfortable and loved with Julia and her family, and it made me so happy to hear how well she got along with everyone 😊 I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better person. I would trust Julia again without a second thought and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, warm, patient, and genuinely loving with dogs. Thank you again for taking such wonderful care of Safia 🐾”
“Laura was absolutely amazing. She kept us updated on how Stan was throughout the weekend and sent us pictures. Stan settled in extremely well and looked extremely comfortable. All I can say is thankyou Laura and that I highly recommended anyone using your services.”
“Helen looked after both our dogs at short notice, after an initial meeting with the dogs where Helen interacted with both of our dogs and then looked after them a week later Helen communicated with us brilliantly with photos of the dogs on walks and what they were doing in Helen’s house Helen administered our larger dogs medication as he’s just had an operation and also was great as we were waiting for scan results for him and could easily of not looked after them but Helen loved the company and both of our dogs loved the attention We would have no hesitation in recommending Helen or booking again and have already seen about them going back to Helen for when we move property Thanks Helen for doing a brilliant job with them both much appreciated”
