“Dougal had a brilliant time again. He obviously felt at home, as soon as we got there to drop him off he rushed in to met the family and was so excited to be staying with Catherine and her family again. He's made friends with her dog Poppy and is obviously very comfortable. We are just so happy he loves it and comes home like he's had a little holiday too. Great sitter, cannot recommend enough.”
“Saoirse had great care while w Shelly and Dave. We received lovely photos of her walks and cuddles throughout the stay which meant we could relax knowing she was happy”
“Veronika took care of my 2 year old Frug for a week as a very last minute request. The care and attention given to him during his stay was outstanding, Veronika is so kind, attentive and tuned in to all of the needs of the animals in her care. It is very clear to see she has a deep love and appreciation for dogs, and hours of planning goes into their stay. He was given long walks, tried new foods, lots of cuddles and understanding and space plus fun. I received lovely pictures and videos throughout his stay, and she has continued to check on his wellbeing since. I cannot recommend Veronika highly enough. Not only is she an incredible dog boarder, she is a genuinely kind person too.”
“Cocoa, had a lovely stay with Charlotte and her partner Matt. Charlotte sent pics and videos of Cocoa’s stay which kept us updated daily. Charlotte is pleasant and seem to have a genuine love for dogs, will definitely have Cocoa stay with her again xx”
“Alex agreed to look after our beagle Bailey for the 3rd time. It was unbearably hot and she took great care to make sure he was as comfortable as possible including late evening and early morning walks to avoid the heat. Alex kept us updated with everything plus pictures and we can highly recommend her without hesitation. Thanks Alex!”

“Nathalie looked after Teddy very well again for a couple of nights dog boarding. Teddy is always happy to go and Nathalie keeps us updated during his stay. Thank you very much for having him and he’ll look forward to his next visit soon! 😊”
“Angelika has looked after my cocker spaniel Oakley three times over recent weeks, once during the day and twice overnight, and each time I have been very happy with the service she provides. Great communication made it nice and easy to arrange drop offs and pick ups. It was really good to receive updates on how it was going, including pictures and videos, and for Oakley to spend time with other dogs. I appreciated the feedback I got from Angelika on how he behaved, including a handy training tip. I would definitely recommend Angelika to anyone looking for a dog sitter, and I’ll be sure to book again whenever I need Oakley looking after. Thank you Angelika to you and to your husband for doing a great job.”
“Ray Ray had the best first sleepover with Sarah, Alfie and Bean! He’s so happy there and I would recommend Sarah to anyone who wants to leave their dog with someone trustworthy and who truly cares about making sure your dog has the best time.”

“Thank you Donna for looking after Eva for an overnight stay on Monday. It’s clear that Eva is comfortable staying with you and we appreciate your flexibility over sleeping arrangements and giving her plenty of attention. We look forward to booking her in for a longer stay so we can finally take a holiday abroad. Best wishes Andrew and Lindsey”
“Fiona is an experience and knowledgable dog handler. We were very pleased with Monty's stay and would not hesitate booking another stay.......if Fiona would have him !! We were sent lots of photos of Monty during his stay and we were given lots of useful feedback and tips on our return.”
About: I'm a huge animal and nature lover and a very caring person. Always had animals in my life and know a lot about dogs, cats, small animals, plants and even fish. :) Currently live with a middle aged calm and quite Chihuahua, who never stays alone. I am not working at the moment, so if you need a summer break, short or long, be in touch and I can help with your small, calm fur-baby, who will be looked after like a real baby in my home. I'm currently not working and home full time. Can take one little dog in time on board during September month if you need to take a break. Please see my availability.

I also have a secure balcony for "emergencies" during a night or a day where I have arranged dog's pee arear. My dog has a bit poor eye sign and scared of any dark objects. So, she won't be happy with any fully black or chocolate doggy. As well as with a puppy, which are full of beans (sorry puppies! ) However, she is very friendly with all other animals, including cats, rats, etc :) She also lived with them previously and raised 3 lovely kittens. Overall, she is a very gentle, well-trained, silent and calm "girl" and she will love a little friend, with who she can sleep on my bed.

“Unfortunately, just before our holiday, our dog had to have an operation. This meant that extra care was needed as Alfie had to wear a buster collar and go back to our vet to have his stitches out. Helen took all of this in her stride. She sent us an update every day and I was completely happy that he was in her safe hands. I would thoroughly recommend Helen to look after any dog. I will use her again without hesitation. Debbie & Alfie”

“This was my first time booking a cat sitter and I feel like I struck gold finding Julia, she was more than accommodating with my last minute booking. My little baby willow doesn’t come out of hiding for anyone new or even someone familiar but warmed to Julia instantly and i received lovely photos so I knew she was ok. Would highly recommend and I will be a returning client. Thank you again Julia, you really are someone special ❤️”
“James was great. Good communication and my cat loved his visits. He also fed our pet gecko. Really appreciated the daily updates and photos which meant we were able to relax knowing our pets were well cared for. Would definitely recommend and use him again.”
“When my other half and I had to go away for work at short notice for a couple of weeks, we booked Shelley to come and see our cat Paul once a day, every morning. Getting daily updates and photos and knowing that he was being well looked after really made being away less stressful, and took the pressure off family and neighbors who were coming by in the evenings.”
“We had Abby helping us out checking on our cat while we were on holiday making sure he had everything he needed along the way. She was of great help and she was always available for anything for we asked. Thank you Abby, we would need of your assistance again :) x”
“Suzanna was reliable, communicated well, sent lots of pictures, she even vacuumed up the litter my messy kitties kicked about! Cats are happy and relaxed on my return”
“Erica was amazing with our Maine Coon Daphne! Really clear and detailed updates and pictures which really put our mind at ease. We felt completely at ease each day of our holiday thanks to Erica. Very highly recommended!”
About: I can offer overnight boarding for cats or dogs. I live in an old cottage with a large secluded fenced in garden. I am able to follow routines and feeding schedules. I would be happy to send photos and updates of any pets in my care. I work as a Home Help for the elderly a few hours a week so am at home the majority of time.

“Alex is always so wonderful with the boys. Really caring and great at communicating about her movements and any concerns she has about them. I feel very confident leaving them with her”
About: I’ve had cats throughout my life, including two when I was younger and my lovely rescue cat, Lola, who passed away seven years ago. I still miss her very much. Lola was quite a nervous rescue, and caring for her taught me a lot about being patient, gentle, and understanding with all types of cats. I just genuinely love cats and feel comfortable with all personalities, from confident and playful to shy and sensitive. I always take my time to make sure each cat feels safe, calm, and cared for.
About: I've been fortunate to share my life with three cats over the years, each with their own unique personalities. My most recent cat, Gizmo, was full of fun and energy often sprinting down the garden and climbing trees, showing just how lively and playful she was. Gizmo was diagnosed with chronic kidney disease, so I gained hands-on experience managing specific dietary needs, including feeding renal-based foods and sticking to a routine that supported her health. Sadly, she later passed away from lymphoma, but caring for her through this time taught me patience, attentiveness, and the importance of gentle, loving care. For eight years, Gizzy used a litter tray by choice (she was quite the little princess!), so I’m very comfortable with litter tray care and keeping things clean and fresh. I understand how important a tidy, comfortable environment is for cats. I also have experience caring for a neighbour’s cat while they were away on holiday, as well as spending lots of time with the friendly cats in our neighbourhood who often visit our garden. I genuinely love cats and treat each one as if they were my own, ensuring they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for while you’re away.
About: I have been working with, caring for and interacting with cats for over 15 years. I am a highly capable with all elements of cat ownership: feeding, watering, enriching, including creating my own innovative home made enrichment items, grooming, health checking and providing play/affection. I have also worked with cats in a professional capacity, over 2 years at an RSPCA cattery. I am keen to care for cats in general and highly dedicated to ensuring the needs of the individual are met. I will always go above and beyond to promote the welfare and safety of the cat. I care for my parents rescue cat on a regular basis and always ensure he is getting the best possible care.

About: I’ve looked after my neighbours dog when I was younger for money. My partner had always had dogs. His is now 5 and had him since he was a pup so went through the training. We look after him when his parents are away as well as our other family members and friends dogs too! My partner and I both work full time on weekdays however one of us is always home or only gone for a couple hours at most. We would love a dog ourselves but we are not ready for that currently so looking after dogs temporarily is a perfect solution for us dog lovers! We have a secure fenced garden. We don’t have any other pets so your dog/s will be our sole focus on making sure they are happy and healthy
“Fiona was great with Rocky! She made us both feel at ease from the moment we met her and Rocky had a great day. He is looking forward to his next play date and his little holiday there in a few weeks! Highly recommend.”
About: I grew up with cats. My GSD Bruno recently crossed the rainbow bridge. I am not ready to get another dog yet. I have so much love to give to your pup or kitty. I have been pet sitting & dog walking for years. I love being around animals. I am retired US Army. I volunteer from time to time, but my days revolve around the animals I care for. I love being out in nature with a dog companion. My schedule is very flexible. I have a fenced yard and my home is pet friendly, no room or furniture is off limits. I will send videos & photos of your pet & keep you updated while you are away.
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats since I was a child and have always been comfortable around animals of different sizes, breeds, and personalities. Friends and family have regularly trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and look after their pets while they were away. I understand how important patience, attention, and routine are to keeping pets happy and comfortable. I’m currently working from home, so I have plenty of time to look after your cats and dogs. I’m available for boarding during both weekdays and weekends. We have a fenced front garden where pets can safely play and enjoy some outdoor time. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, medication, and routines, to help pets feel comfortable and at home. Since I work from home, I’m able to supervise them throughout the day and keep them company.

About: I've grown up with dogs as part of the family all my life. Over the years we've had a variety of breeds, including German Shepherds, a Boxer, Bichon Frise, Shiba Inu, Japanese Spitz and Dachshund. I'm the go-to pet sitter for family and friends, trusted to provide loving care and make sure their pets are happy, safe and well looked after while they're away. I took on a 6 month old rescue GSD with behavioural issues and trained him to be a well behaved, reliable and trusted member of our family. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply having company, I'll make sure they're treated like one of my own and given plenty of care, attention and affection. As I am currently home full time I'm able to provide constant care and attention for your pets throughout the day. They'll have my full presence and support, ensuring they're never left alone and receive the companionship and care they need at all times. I have a large fully fenced private garden, providing plenty of outdoor safe space for play and relaxation. This can be easily accessed via a dog flap when required. I aim to create a comfortable homelike environment for your pets. If you have specific preferences, I am happy to follow your guidelines to ensure your pet's stay aligns with their routine.
About: I have chosen to be a pet sitter as I am now retired & have lots of time on my hands and a lot of love to give. I have had cats and dogs all of my life right from when I was a child. I recently lost my cat at the grand age of 20 and am lost without a pet to care for. I would love to board a cat or dog on a short-term basis. I am a kind caring lady who has a lot of love and affection to give to anyone’s pet. I currently work as a home help 3 days a week. The longest I’m away from the house is about 2 1/2 hours at a time! So I’m around most of the time. I live in a lovely 100 year-old cottage that is very spacious - I’m happy for cats to have the run of the whole house ! I also have a lovely garden which is very secluded and quiet. I have plenty of time for affection & love!
About: Hiii, I have had dogs my whole life and love learning their weird little characters. I’m well versed in medicine and special care due to precious pets having specific needs. I work from home full time and am a very active person and love walks. I know what it feels like having to trust someone with your pet and how scary it can be. So I can send you as many pictures and videos of your little doggie and help make you feel safe with your choice . I’ve got a little Noodle myself who will also take care of your doggie. Hiya! I am lucky enough to work from home and usually set 2 hours free everyday to go to the gym. I walk my own dog for 1hr plus everyday and can cater for longer and shorter walks depending on the pet. My whole day is orientated around my own doggie and therefore nothing will change when looking after yours. My home is big enough to adventure around and can allow your dog its own personal space if they want that. I have a garden which is accessible all day and the doors are always open so that they have access to play whenever they want. I have a forest and field behind my home which is perfect for walking. I sometimes have to go to the office on a Wednesday morning and am back at lunchtime, however, I have a friend and neighbours that checks in on my dog and can do the same when pet sitting if needs be. I have a good size garden and a massive forest and fields behind my house. Which is absolutely amazing and can cater for doggies that are scared of car journeys. I have a little sausage that is very playful and loves other dogs and would love to have a little friend join her :)). The patio doors are open all day long to allow for doggies to come in and out when wanted. I have a two storey home however don’t allow my own dog to run up and down the stairs. She does however come up with me at night and stay with me in the bed. She is more than happy to share her sleep space but if doggies prefer to be alone they can have whatever space they need in the house. We can cater for any weird habits your dog has picked up or any requirements that are needed. :))
About: While I'm newer to professional dog-sitting, I've spent years building real hands-on experience with dogs. For years, I lived with my family's Shih Tzu (Simba) and took an active role in his daily care including regular walks, feeding and making sure he felt loved and comfortable. I've also taken care of other family dogs including labradors and a cavapoo. These experiences have given me a genuine understanding of a dog's routine and needs. I'm a careful, attentive caregiver who treats every dog like family and I'm excited to bring that same warmth and dedication to your pup! I am typically at home during weekdays with plenty of time to take care of your pet(s). Availability on weekends is also possible on request. I love an active lifestyle so happy to take dogs for a walk anytime if day. I have a fenced garden for your dog(s) to run around and let off some steam. Different rooms inside the house for activity/spending time or quieter places for rest and relaxation for your dogs.
About: Had pet dogs all my life. I've been working with hearing dogs for deaf people for 12 years as a volunteer, training dogs through from puppy to fully registered assistant dog. I work part time from home with a flexible routine. I can adjust my day around your needs if required, but mornings are my preference. Routine is important, so I aim to fit in with your pets normal routine. Dogs love a chat and a bit of company which I am happy to do.
About: My partner and I have grown up with dogs and had them in our families our entire lives. From spaniels, to labradors and most recently our own Viszla Riley. We love all types of dogs, from playful to relaxed and from small to large. Any dog will be well looked after with plenty of space to run in the fields on our doorstep. Between myself and my partner Caitlin, there is someone at home every weekday and weekend. Dogs in our care are provided regular attention, free roam of the garden and several walks a day. The countryside is on our doorstep. We can accommodate for any feeding, sleeping or other requirements to keep your pup as comfortable as possible. A home away from home! We have a fenced garden for safe garden exploration. We have a 3 year old viszla called Riley. He is a sweet boy that enjoys the company of other dogs.
“Snoopy was so happy with Sarah and her lovely dogs and had a great time! We had been worried he might be a bit unsettled being with someone new for the first time but we were completely reassured by Sarah’s updates throughout the day and he came home a very happy chappie who slept very well that night. Would definitely recommend Sarah to all”

“This is the first time I have used Jodie for a dog walk, after an initial greet and meet of my 12 month old cockapoo. I can tell my dog loves Jodie and feels comfortable with her, as she has such a natural calm kind way of interacting with him. I really appreciate the photos and video which was also sent. Great service and will definitely be using Jodie again!”

About: I've always had cats and dogs from a young age. Our family have rescued a greyhound and husky over the years and know firsthand the amount of unconditional love that these animals can give you. I have experience with big dogs and little dogs and appreciate that all dogs have different temperaments. I want to get to know your dog as if it was my own and give it the love that it deserves! I can walk your pooch in the mornings and evenings and weekends. I've dogsat for people in the past and am able to do this but the current rescue we have is not good with other dogs so it would have to be at your house.

I also know the art of emailing with one hand and petting with the other! I know the importance of routine and respecting the boundaries of each pet as an individual.

About: I provide loving, reliable home from home care backed by real handson experience with dogs of different temperaments and needs. Having two black Labradors of my own, including a blind reactive rescue I adopted three years ago, I’m especially confident with nervous, rescue, reactive, and special-needs dogs, offering calm, patient, and understanding care that helps them feel safe and settled. I currently work from home, which allows me a high level of flexibility throughout the day to provide regular walks, attention, and consistent companionship. At weekends, I have complete flexibility, meaning I can fully adapt to your dog’s schedule and ensure they receive attentive, personalised care. I care for pets in their own home by maintaining their normal routine and creating a calm, reassuring environment while their owner is away. This includes playtime, enrichment, and teaching new tricks to keep them engaged, as well as regular toilet breaks and walks around the neighbourhood if requested. I also ensure they are fed according to their usual schedule and that their water bowl is always kept clean and topped up. I make sure they receive plenty of companionship, affection, and cosy cuddle time so they feel safe, happy, and well cared for in familiar surroundings.

About: Over the years, I’ve been extremely lucky to be trusted to care for friends’ and family members’ dogs while they’re at work, away for weekends, or on holiday. I’ve looked after a variety of breeds, including Labradors, Shiba Inus, and mixed breeds, and I understand that every dog has their own unique personality and needs. Some dogs are happiest relaxing quietly, others love long walks, some enjoy hours of belly rubs, and others just want to play and cuddle. I take the time to really listen to owners and learn about each dog’s routine, preferences, and personality, which helps me provide care that feels familiar and comfortable for them. This individual approach is what has led to trusted, ongoing dog-sitting relationships. I truly believe no two dogs are ever the same, and I care for each one as if they were my own. I currently work full-time Monday to Friday, but I’m available for local walks or drop-ins during my lunch breaks. With notice, I’m also available from Friday evening through to Sunday evening, to help care for your pets. I’m reliable, organised, and happy to plan ahead to make sure your pet’s needs fit comfortably into my routine. I had my cat Gizzy for 8 years in our 3-bedroom home, where she was free to roam and enjoy our large, fully fenced garden. She loved spending hours basking in the sun on our decking during the spring and summer months. Inside, she had full access to furniture and especially loved relaxing on the sofa. When caring for friends’ or neighbours’ pets, I follow their instructions carefully and respect their home and routines. I’m often entrusted with a key and any special requirements their pets may have. I prioritise safety, comfort, and creating a loving environment so every pet feels secure, happy, and well cared for while in my care.
“Christine helped out at fairly short notice and was brilliant! She obviously loves dogs, knows them well, and Roxie seems to have had an awesome time. I’d definitely ask her to help again and highly recommend her for the care of your furry friend(s)!”

About: I have been dog walking and dog sitting for over 13 years now. I have been walking and looking after my own dogs since I was 8. My dad taught me how to care for dogs and how to walk them. The first dog I professional dog sat was a teacup pug named Tinkerbell, who was adorable! My own dogs are called Dexter and Teddy. Dexter is a Beagle and Teddy is a Puggle. I love spending time with my dogs, however because i’m at university, I haven’t been able to see them as often. This is why I am dog walking and dog sitting, because I love spending time with animals. I am free all days, as long as I don’t have a university class. I have classes for an hour or two on mondays, tuesdays and thursdays. But leave me a text and I can check my schedule! I care for other’s pets and my own by making sure they always have enough water and feeding them twice a day; morning and night. I also give my own dogs a lot of attention so they don’t get lonely.
About: Growing up surrounded by dogs and cats, caring for animals has always come naturally to me. Over the past 6 years I've become the go-to sitter for my sister's dogs — regularly looking after them for weeks at a time while she's on holiday. And it's not just family — back in London during grad school, I also looked after my neighbours' dogs, so I'm well used to understanding different dogs' personalities, routines, and quirks from the get-go. Friends and family have always trusted me to give their pets that extra bit of love and attention when they're away, and that's something I genuinely take pride in. I work from home full-time with a very flexible schedule, which means I'm around most of the day and able to give dogs the company, attention, and routine they need. Weekdays, evenings, weekends — I'm available and happy to accommodate whatever works best for you and your pup. I'll always tailor my care to your dog's needs — whether that's gentle walks and a calm environment, specific feeding schedules, or longer play sessions for a more energetic dog. My priority is always making sure every pet in my care feels safe, loved, and right at home. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine — I work from home full-time and never need to go into an office, which means I'm available around the clock, seven days a week. Weekdays, weekends, no problem at all. Dogs in my care will never be left alone for long stretches — I'm always home and happy to give them my full attention. My home is a calm, loving environment where pets are treated like family. I have a small backyard where dogs can go potty and get some fresh air, and I'm lucky to live close to some beautiful parks that are perfect for walks and a good run around. I always respect the owner's instructions to the letter — whether that's diet, exercise levels, medication, or any other specific routine — so dogs feel as safe and settled as they do at home.
About: I come from an animal loving family so I’ve grown up and have experience with all kinds of pets, including dogs, cats, chickens, hamsters and guinea pigs. I’m comfortable with dogs of all ages; playful puppies who need structure and training to senior pets who need a gentler pace and a little extra patience. I pay close attention to each animal’s personality and routine so they feel safe and cared for. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I treat every pet as if they were my own. My schedule is flexible enough that I can give dogs the exercise and attention they need, and I’m just as happy spending quiet time with pets who prefer a slower pace. I am available weekdays and weekends. I also have access to a car so am reliable and prepared, even for same day bookings. I follow any instructions provided carefully, from feeding schedules to medication needs. I treat every home with respect and i send regular updates with photos so owners can feel confident their pets are happy and well cared for.
About: I have been a pet owner since the age of 10, starting off with a rabbit and guinea pig. I have been working with and studying animals for 13 years. I have a degree in Zoology and a PGCE. I am a dog trainer so have a huge amount of experience with dogs of different breeds/sizes/ages/temperament. I have lots of experience working with a wide variety of species and am qualified to handle and care for aquatic, exotic, small animals, farm animals, and companion animals. I have assisted dogs in giving birth, cared for and bottle fed both newborn puppies and kittens, nursed elderly dogs with health concerns, and much more. I have a lot of experience working with dogs that suffer with separation anxiety and behavioural issues. I can carry out any training you are doing with your animal consistently and see to any medical requirements they may have. I am looking to get back into work following a period of sickness. I am currently very flexible and able to care for a range of species. There are many ways in which we care for our pets. Small animals need their cages spot cleaned or full cleaned, food and water, enrichment and affection. Exotic animals have very specific requirements, temperature and humidity control, live feeding of invertebrates, and supplements. Cats and dogs need companionship, exercise, and enrichment. My experience and education have prepared me for carrying out all the above and much more. Keeping the environment clean and tidy to reduce bacteria build up and reduce the likelihood of accidents. Ensure the property is secure e.g. windows and doors locked, alarm set, no strangers entertained or allowed in to the property. Ensure the animal is being monitored and kept safe during its activities.
“Our meeting with Laura was great. We wanted to introduce her to our blind westie so that she could understand what his needs are. She is very kind, patient and knowledgeable about dog behaviour. We look forward to meeting up again soon.”

“Dougal had a brilliant time again. He obviously felt at home, as soon as we got there to drop him off he rushed in to met the family and was so excited to be staying with Catherine and her family again. He's made friends with her dog Poppy and is obviously very comfortable. We are just so happy he loves it and comes home like he's had a little holiday too. Great sitter, cannot recommend enough.”
“Cocoa, had a lovely stay with Charlotte and her partner Matt. Charlotte sent pics and videos of Cocoa’s stay which kept us updated daily. Charlotte is pleasant and seem to have a genuine love for dogs, will definitely have Cocoa stay with her again xx”
“Alex agreed to look after our beagle Bailey for the 3rd time. It was unbearably hot and she took great care to make sure he was as comfortable as possible including late evening and early morning walks to avoid the heat. Alex kept us updated with everything plus pictures and we can highly recommend her without hesitation. Thanks Alex!”
“Ray Ray had the best first sleepover with Sarah, Alfie and Bean! He’s so happy there and I would recommend Sarah to anyone who wants to leave their dog with someone trustworthy and who truly cares about making sure your dog has the best time.”
“Zeyu was incredibly caring and patient with our kitten Moka, she was very nervous and spent a lot of time hiding, however Zeyu did everything she could to keep her comfortable and fed. And I got photo updates when she did show her face”
“Fiona is an experience and knowledgable dog handler. We were very pleased with Monty's stay and would not hesitate booking another stay.......if Fiona would have him !! We were sent lots of photos of Monty during his stay and we were given lots of useful feedback and tips on our return.”
“Unfortunately, just before our holiday, our dog had to have an operation. This meant that extra care was needed as Alfie had to wear a buster collar and go back to our vet to have his stitches out. Helen took all of this in her stride. She sent us an update every day and I was completely happy that he was in her safe hands. I would thoroughly recommend Helen to look after any dog. I will use her again without hesitation. Debbie & Alfie”
“J was the perfect dog sitter for my Italian greyhound, Tofu! He made me feel completely at ease with leaving him for the weekend and kept me updated with photos. Really responsive on message and genuinely an 5 star experience overall. Would definitely recommend!”
“Jess has been looking after Elvis for several months now and has always been an amazing home for him to go to. He loves spending time with Jess and Pepper, and Jess goes above and beyond to look after the dogs under her card, even renting out space for the dogs to have their own private playtime as well as giving elvis a wash when he’s got a bit too mucky! Thank you Jess for everything you do, we would highly recommend 😊”
“Charlie had an absolutely amazing time with Riley, Mahmud and his partner. They looked after him very well taking care of his complex needs. Charlie was a very happy boy and was very comfortable with them both when I came to pick him up. He will definitely be returning.”
“Left my baby with Arron for a few days. She was well looked after well cared for and loved. We met before hand for a meet and greet and that went well. I will be booking again instead of using any kennels. Thankyou again Arron”
“Lottie had a lovely stay with Will and Caitlin. She can sometimes feel nervous around other dogs but got on well with Riley (their vizler). Communication was great and they were very accommodating of my plans and my dogs needs - being a rescue greyhound she does need special handling but Will and Caitlin were able to provide that! Would defintely recommend!”
“Bodhi had a lovely time with Claire, He was very well looked after and was very happy with his time there. The children were fab with him also will not hesitate to book again! ☺️”
“Seb and his partner did a brilliant job looking after our pup. We felt completely confident leaving her there overnight - they were obviously very caring and have a great home/garden for a dog. She obviously had a lot of fun playing with their dog too so we had one sleepy pup when we got home!”
“Corinne did a fantastic job watching Poppy. She gave frequent and detailed updates with pictures and videos. I could tell that Poppy was being cared for well and that Corinne was attentive to her needs. Thank you so much for watching our lil Poppy 😊”
“Hi Karen, We would like to thank you for the great job you and your family did in looking after our three West Highland puppies (6 months old). They all seemed to have enjoyed there stay with you and were totally exhausted when we got them home, I don't think they are used to playing so much and having the luxury of running around a wonderful dog friendly garden, and with the addition of walks too. I would certainly recommend and i know the pups would like to come back in the future. A great experience and we certainly felt reassured leaving our boys with you.”
