“We left our lab, Indi with Dominic in July '25 and we couldn't be happier with the experience. We received daily updates and knew our Indi was well looked after and loving his time away. Dominic loves dogs and looks after yours as if they were his own. We will be using Dom again and would highly recommend!”
“Abby was amazing and kept us up to date with how Duke was whilst we were away. He was so comfortable and happy with her and her family, he most likely didn’t want to come home! Will definitely and happily send Duke to stay again in the future. Thank you so much Abby!”
“I picked Rummy up from his most recent stay with Kane. As per usual, Rummy had the best time. I don't think he wanted to leave just yet! Kane and Stephen treat Rummy as their own and I recieve daily updates when i'm away. The relief knowing my boy is safe and sound is priceless when i'm on holiday. For me, Kane is the only option outside of family that I would consider when I need someone to have Rummy.”

Thanks again to Mat & his family for looking after our fur baby, I will keep hold of your details for the next time I need a dog sitter”
“Max had the best time with Faride and her lovely family and Cookie the dog!

I would absolutely recommend Faride and will definitely book Max in with her again if needed.”

Knowing your dog is being so well cared for, and being kept up to date daily with all the fun they're having makes your own holiday so much better because it's guilt-free! Many thanks.”
“Issy had a wonderful time with Shaun and his family.he was excellent with our energetic Staffie and we were really confident leaving her with him. They supported our routines as well as including her in their family life. He sent regular updates and the meet and greet beforehand was really beneficial and made us feel really comfortable that she would be well cared for. A very experienced family who looked after our Issy really well.10/10 would recommend.”
“This was the 2nd time Honey has been on her own little holiday at Diane’s lovely home and couldn’t ask for a better dog sitter. Highly recommended always can relax knowing she’s being loved and cared for with updated pics and messages even a birthday message for my daughter from honey was so lovely and thoughtful. Thank you again will definitely be back for more dog sitting in the future.”
“This was an emergency booking. Charlotte suggested bringing Molly the day before for a sniff around and to meet us. Molly is an anxious dog and Charlotte gave her the time and space to explore. From the moment I took Molly into Charlotte’s home I felt reassured. She created a little area for Molly with her cushion, blanket and toys. There was also water available. Molly was happy to stay with her which was a relief. I got lots of updates and she clearly had a lovely time. Charlotte was so sensitive to Molly’s needs and didn’t put any pressure on her to do things she didn’t want to do. Over the two days Molly really grew in confidence. Molly has also had pancreatitis and Charlotte both understood and was prepared to give her painkillers if needed. I cannot thank Charlotte enough for the great care she showed Molly and would highly recommend her.”
“Brilliant absolute would recommended Charlotte plenty of up dates and plenty of happy pics of Bobby and deeze and know where to rebook for are next adventure thank you Charlotte”
“This was the first time we let Evie our 12 year old chihuahua stay away from home without a family member so you can imagine how anxious we were. From the moment we met Megan we knew Evie would be in safe hands. Megan is such a kind calm and accommodating person who sent us regular updates and photos of Evie while we were away. When we collected Evie I found her to be calm and not at all worried, in fact I believe she really enjoyed her time with Megan. I would highly recommend Megan and would definitely use her services again 😊”
“Highly recommend Carolyn 🤗 she gave our doggys a home from home but also a relaxing break for our crazy children! She was happy to go with our doggies routines and they came back very happy. Carolyn is also very good at sending pictures and updates! Thank you so much again Carolyn will defo use again x”
“Thank you Jan for taking such excellent care of our little lady. We feel so blessed to have found someone who is professional yet so caring and somehow instantly created a home from home for Lucrezia. Perfect! We look forward to her upcoming next stay.”
“Highly recommend! Dropped my 5 month golden retriever off for the first time who can be very bitey and lively and was instantly reassured that this wouldn’t be an issue at all - was sent pictures/video throughout the time he spent there and updates on when he was walked/fed etc. There is access to a garden in back which is always handy and made friends Kirsty's dog. Also let me extend for one more night due to arriving back later than planned. Will be going back!”

“Abby was very good at keeping us updated with her visits sending photos and a short summary of what she had done. We were extremely happy and impressed with her friendly but professional approach. We can certainly recommend her to anyone.”
“Really helpful and friendly service. Gemma clearly knows cats and leaving instructions for her was simple and I felt confident that she knew exactly what she was doing. My cats were well looked after while I was away. Thank you Gemma”
“I can't say enough good things about Elizabeth. She took care of my two furry babies while I was away, and everything was absolutely perfect. From the very start, communication was a breeze; she responded quickly to all my messages and made sure to provide daily updates with loads of photos and videos. It was such a relief to know that my cats and home were in such capable hands. She went above and beyond to keep everything in order, and her attention to detail was exceptional. Thanks to her, I was able to enjoy my time away with complete peace of mind. I will definitely be reaching out to her again the next time I travel. Highly recommend her to anyone in need of a reliable and caring pet sitter!”

Your cat’s comfort and happiness are my top priorities, and I’ll treat them like my own while you’re away 🐈💖🐈⬛
“Zoe was fabulous with our Henry! He’s a very pampered cat.. and isn’t sure of new people. But he was very settled and happy with Zoe. A chilled calm and happy little man when we returned home after a couple of days away. Zoe sent me a few photos- which is super reassuring. She took great care of our home. We would not hesitate to ask for Zoe again, or recommend her!”

“Duggie loved his stay with Charlotte. After an initial visit, we were very confident that it would work out well. Charlotte is very warm, friendly and knowledgeable about dogs and Duggie was comfortable with her immediately. Everything in Charlotte’s home and garden is set up to be dog friendly and she was very flexible about delivery and pick up times. During his stay, Charlotte sent me regular updates and pictures- he was clearly having a fab time. Duggie came home a very chilled and happy boy and a lovely touch was that Charlotte sent him home with a little diary of his holiday with her. We will definitely send Duggie to Charlotte again in future and would recommend her very highly.”
“Amanda looked our thirteen year old Jack Russell cross for the day whilst we were at a wedding. I was a bit worried about leaving him with a dog sitter as it was his first time away from us in his thirteen years. However, I needn't have worried as Amanda looked after Jasper extremely well sending me updates on WhatsApp of all the doggy things he was getting up to. I can recommend Amanda 100% for dog care. Many thanks, Geoff P”
“Rupert loved his time spent with Kane. Kane listened to all the things I had told him about Rupert and went out of his way to make him feel calm and safe and also put my mind at rest with an update. Will definitely use him again”
“First time customer of Tracey and first sleepover for Beni, my pup. Such a positive experience. As soon as you walk into Traceys she welcomed me and Beni into her home, reassuring me that Beni’s in good hands. Tracey sent pictures throughout the day, showing that Beni was fine and having fun. When it came to collection time Tracey told me about his night, and what he got up to the day before. Beni was as happily bouncing around, showing affection. Already booking for the next sleepover. Highly recommend. Such a lovely woman 💕”
“Janice was an excellent communicator, super friendly and lovely with our dog. We would have no hesitation recommending her as a dog sitter to others and would Definitely book her again 😁”
“Django had the best time with Pinar and her family! Had some lovely updates and photos. He slept the best I think he’s ever slept after daycare! Would definitely contact Pinar again in the future”
“We left our Coco for the day with Kim. I couldn't ask for more from her. Very warm welcoming, full of passion and care , constant updates throughout the day. I strongly recommend her and her services.”
“Mabel had a lovely day. She was so happy to go in and didn’t want to leave! Ruth was really prompt with all communication and sent me some photos of Mabel’s stay. Will definitely be back.”
“Cormac (w) Ulfada LOVED his first full visit with Paulina. The care he received was first class. Thank you both, I feel happy and confident he will be in your care for many years to come.”

“The dogs had a lovely time and Julie was brilliant with them. They looked happy in the photos and were very relaxed when we picked them up, all walked and fed. Julie was lovely and her home was safe, secure and comfortable. Highly recommend.”
“My cockerpoo seemed to have a great time with Tracey and her dogs. I was extremely happy with how things went, Tracey sent photos and videos and seemed really aware of dog behaviour. Tracey is without a doubt a dog lover and passionate about her work. My dog will be having more daycare and overnights stay in future definitely. I would recommend Tracey to other dog owners happily.”
“Amazing! Great giving me lots of information and asking questions prior to our first visit. So friendly and welcoming when dropping him off and then updates and photos in the day - just the reassurance I didn’t know I wanted! At pick up he was so happy playing barely noticed me! Will certainly be recommending and re-using Amy! 🖤”
“Pedro was amazing with my Weimaraner puppy, Saffie. Saffie is quite a whirlwind and requires a lot of physical and mental stimulation. It was very clear that Pedro met all of her needs and she came home very happy. I contacted Pedro extremely last minute to see if he could have Saffie for the first time the following day. He responded swiftly and was really very helpful throughout. I really appreciated receiving video updates and it was clear how caring, knowledgeable and attentive Pedro is with all dogs. I would absolutely have no hesitation in booking Pedro again and he even offered me some really useful training advice. Thank you Pedro for all your help.”

I spend a lot of time with dogs, and am constantly developing my understanding of their body language and needs. I work from home, so am able to be with the dog all day every day. I tend to do one walk at 8am and another at 6pm I have a fenced off garden and a friendly husky to play with your dog. Dogs can pick which sofa/bed they are most comfortable on. It's a very relaxed and friendly environment

Feel free to message me and we can go from there. Being retired I’m flexible and work pet sits around bank work that I do so there are no real restrictions. If I’m not working and available then happy to accept bookings. My house is safe and garden is enclosed with fence. Pets have the run of anywhere downstairs and can only go upstairs when it’s bedtime. During the day apart from normal walks around the area we willl head to Starbucks for doggy coffee and cream treats. If weather permits we might go to the river or sea.
