“Mac’s stay with Emma was great. I think he had a nice holiday while I was away on my holiday. He settled back into his routine at home quickly and he is very happy so that shows he was well looked after by Emma and her family. Thanks Emma.”
“It's our second time we use Hannah's services. Our dog Rex was left with Hannah & her family and he was looked after very well. We were impressed by daily updates including photos several times a day which put our mind at rest. Hannah is very caring and loving pets person which we value at highest level. We highly recommend Hannah's services for her exceptional care and attention. We will definitely use Hannah's services again soon. Thank you very much ! xx”

“Michael was fantasti! He looked after our Basset Hound like she was his own. Michael sent me regular photos and videos. I will be using Michael again, whenever we need our Polly to be looked after.”
“Jenny looked after our puppy cockapoo (who is very hyper) for a night and done a fantastic job! Sent updates as she knew I was nervous leaving Betsy for the first time and invited us over for a meet and greet before the stay which I loved! When Betsy come home, it’s safe to say she was sulking and wanted to go back and play with little honey (Jenny’s pug). Would recommend to anyone who wants to leave their dog without constantly worrying, will use Jenny moving forward every time!”
“Annabel was very friendly from the start. Straight away I felt comfortable when we first met on our get together prior to our booking. Whilst looking after our girls, Annabel sent numerous photos whilst out and about and at home. I would thoroughly recommend Annabel and will definitely book her again to look after my girls”
About: Me and my partner have had dogs all our lives. We have had two dobermans and one rescue beagle cross. We still have one Doberman and the beagle within our family. We have two children age 5 and 7 who have been brought up with our dogs and our very dog savvy. We are experienced with big breeds and also small. Our dogs are treated like family, two walks a day we live in the country so field walks mainly, they are allowed in the house and on the sofa and if they can sneak on the bed they will try haha! There is always someone at home generally as I work from home part time so never left long period of time. Both our dogs love other dogs they have always been well socialised. I work two days from home and the other days I am around at home and you dogs will never be left for long periods of time. I have a large fenced garden which is secure. The fence is 1m high as we back onto fields and is gated at the side.
“Jill & Keith have been fantastic. They have sent me regular updates with pictures which have been so reassuring. Very greatful to be able to enjoy my time away without worry.”
“I almost don’t want to write a review so that I can keep Jill a secret! Jill is wonderful and an expert in her field. We felt totally relaxed leaving our dog for his one night sleepover. He had a great time and Jill made sure his time was just like being at home. We have struck gold with Jill and her lovely husband.”
“Robert is absolutely brilliant. He is so kind and caring and really knows so much about dogs and the care they need. Our little dog was so happy with him for a few days and he sent us lots of photos and videos so we didn’t need to worry. 5 star care. We will be re-booking soon! Thanks again Robert,”
“Laura is always wonderful with our elderly dog. She's very caring and understands the needs and habits of the individual dogs. We're always confident and relaxed leaving Lipa in Laura's care.”
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and have always loved caring for them. I grew up with many cats, and since I was little I’ve helped look after them, including taking in stray cats during my childhood. We also always had family dogs, and I loved spending time with them, playing, and taking them out for walks. In total, my whole family 5 dogs overall, so I’m very comfortable being around different breeds and personalities. I also have personal experience caring for a small tortoise named Frankie, so I’m used to looking after pets with different needs and routines. Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I genuinely enjoy giving them attention, care, and companionship. I’m currently not working, so I have plenty of time to give pets the attention they need. I’m available for dog walks, home visits, boarding, and overnight stays, and I can be flexible to suit your pet’s routine. I’m happy to help with whatever is needed to make sure your pet feels comfortable and well cared for. I live in a small two-bedroom house, and although I don’t have a garden, there is a small nature reserve area just behind my home that’s perfect for dog walks. There’s also a bigger park about a 5 to 10 minute walk away, so there’s plenty of outdoor space and nature nearby for exercise and fresh air. I make sure pets are supervised, comfortable, and cared for in a calm, safe environment.
“Words can’t say how happy I was with Chester’s care. It truly was home from home. I could see that he was treated as one of the family including the children. I liked that he could cuddle on the sofa in the evening with Jodie as he does with me at home and he had the freedom of the house. I would 100% recommend her. fabulous family environment”
About: Animals have always been part of my life. Growing up, we always had dogs and other pets, and caring for animals has come naturally to me from a young age. For the last 10 years, our family shared our home with our much-loved French Bulldog, Woody. We recently lost him very suddenly, which left a huge hole in our hearts. While no dog could ever replace Woody, we're looking forward to opening our home to other dogs and giving them the same love, care and attention that he enjoyed. I've also regularly looked after friends' dogs, including a lovely Labrador who I cared for well into his senior years. This has given me experience with different personalities, routines and needs. My husband, Laszlo, is my additional caretaker and shares my love of dogs. Between us, there's usually someone at home to provide company, care and plenty of attention for our furry guests. What makes us different is that we only welcome dogs from one household at a time. Your dog will enjoy a relaxed family environment, a secure garden, walks to the nearby park, plenty of company and, if they're used to it, lots of sofa cuddles too! Dogs fit naturally into our family life. I work part-time weekdays (9am–1pm) and my husband works nights, so there's usually someone at home to keep your dog company. We live just a couple of minutes from the park, making it easy to fit walks, playtime and plenty of attention into every day. I care for every dog as if they were my own. Dogs staying with us become part of the family and are welcome to relax on the sofa, enjoy time in our secure garden, and join us for walks and play. I like to stick to each dog's usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, sleeping arrangements and any special requirements. My goal is for owners to enjoy their time away knowing their dog is safe, happy and loved.
“Amadeusz kept me updated the whole day with Paddy. He not only walked him but did activities (fetch/ brain stimulation treat games) - Paddy came home wrecked after a super fun day! Will defo be using him again. ☺️”
“Lubomira spoilt my Maya rotten! I was showered with photos and videos the whole time I was away to keep me at ease and let me know what she was up to! Maya thoroughly enjoyed her stay. I have already rebooked!! Thank you very much for looking after my fur baby so well :)”
“Tom looked after Enola (our 18 month old flat coat retriever) and she had a great time. Tom was super flexible and kept us informed about our dog happiness with overwhelming us with information! We were able to kick back and enjoy a local festival (that did not allow dogs)!!”
“Cathy was fantastic and Harley was very content and had had a good balance of walks, downtime and exploring. Cathy’s dog Stan is a lovely friendly boy and they clearly took to each other. Will definitely rebook when I need to next.”

About: I’ve helped my parents walking our dog since he was a puppy. I’ll feed him on time and company him when his family aren’t around. I’ll make sure he has a familiar person during thunderstorms and fireworks. I’m currently working part time and will be free most days of the week. I’m an animal person so they fit in perfectly with my free time. I have a fenced and good sized garden where my dog can safely play and have fun. I make sure my dog has a walk and playtime. He has his food accordingly and a relaxing evening before bed.
“I am feeling Extremely happy. Our Communication via the booking went extremely well. I met with Lucia prior to going away and we got on like a house on fire :-) My cats warmed to Lucia instantly and upon my return were extremely relaxed and happy, it was like I had never been away. Looking forward to booking Lucia in the near future.”
“Eloise is just perfect. She did an excellent job with Kaya and Coco, was always on time, and was willing to change the schedule last minute when necessary. Great updates and photos. Would recommend highly!”
“Megan was reliable and kept us updated whilst we were away. For 10 days she did drop in visits to our kittens and stayed in good communication with us. This is the 2nd time we’ve used Megan and we would rebook her again in the future. She was great with our cats and they enjoyed her company.”
About: From a young age I have always been surrounded by dogs and after years of pestering, my parents bought me a dog aged 13. Her name was Lexi; she was a white, fluffy Bichon Frise and she was perfect! I trained her, walked her everyday and gave her all the love in the world. Sadly, last year, she passed away and I have been craving some dog love ever since. I have just moved to London to pursue my acting career and would love to meet some dogs along the way! My availability is very good throughout the whole week. The only time I am unavailable is between the hours of 3-7 Thursdays and Friday evenings. Having had an escape artist of a dog in the past and looked after family and friends dogs right from pups, you can trust that I have the skills to create a safe environment, house train and crate train.
About: I have always been around cats and have cared for them for many years, both my own and those belonging to family and friends. Through this experience, I have become confident in feeding, cleaning litter trays, grooming, giving plenty of attention and playtime, and understanding different cat personalities. I know that some cats love cuddles and company, while others prefer their own space, and I always respect their individual needs. I genuinely enjoy spending time with cats and take pride in making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. 🐾💕

I also make sure all my pets are happy by buying them new toys each month! Additionally, I have experience with pets that need extra attention, including an elderly deaf dog and high maintenance breeds. Although I work full time, my shifts are either mornings or evenings, which gives me flexibility and time in between to provide attention and care. When caring for pets in an owners home, I make sure to follow their usual routine as closely as possible to keep the pets comfortable and stress free. I also like to know what the pets favourite toys and treats are so I can surprise them time to time!

About: With a lifelong passion for animals, I bring a wealth of personal experience to pet care. Growing up surrounded by dogs, I've developed an innate understanding of their needs and behaviours. My family's adoption of a German Pointer introduced me to the world of gun-dog training, where I gained invaluable insights into discipline, obedience, and nurturing a strong bond with our four-legged friends. Now, with over a decade of caring for our beloved Pointer, I offer not just expertise but also a genuine love for all dogs entrusted to my care. Breeds I provide regular care for include pointers, patterdale terriers, labradors, labradoodles, spaniels, whippets, German sheppards and pugs to name just a few. I have just returned from travelling so am between jobs. This means I’m very flexible with no work or childcare ties. I am open to boarding but would like to meet first. To minimise disruption to our family dogs lives, I will only be providing care in the owners home, meaning I will be following your rules. I’m happy to follow routines and keep training consistent, whether that means crates at night or sharing a bed, I’m open to whatever suits your dogs needs.

About: I’ve had pets all my life and they are constantly the best thing in my life. I’ve always loved animals but having pets that become part of your family is so special which is why I would love to help anyone out as I know it can be difficult at times to make sure they’re living as happily as can be! I work part time and am in college a few days a week but I still find myself having a lot of spare time especially in my evenings from 3 onwards. I also have two days off college where I feel I could be a lot of help to others even just for a dog walk. My routine never changes it is the same weekly so I would be happy to schedule weekly sessions to keep routine. I have a fenced garden so no escaping I’m afraid😂 I am more then happy to crate your animals if needed as I understand keeping them in your usual routine is important. I have a dog and a cat who love other animals which of course will keep yours company !

About: Me and my partner have had dogs all our lives. We have had two dobermans and one rescue beagle cross. We still have one Doberman and the beagle within our family. We have two children age 5 and 7 who have been brought up with our dogs and our very dog savvy. We are experienced with big breeds and also small. Our dogs are treated like family, two walks a day we live in the country so field walks mainly, they are allowed in the house and on the sofa and if they can sneak on the bed they will try haha! There is always someone at home generally as I work from home part time so never left long period of time. Both our dogs love other dogs they have always been well socialised. I work two days from home and the other days I am around at home and you dogs will never be left for long periods of time. I have a large fenced garden which is secure. The fence is 1m high as we back onto fields and is gated at the side.
“Robert is absolutely brilliant. He is so kind and caring and really knows so much about dogs and the care they need. Our little dog was so happy with him for a few days and he sent us lots of photos and videos so we didn’t need to worry. 5 star care. We will be re-booking soon! Thanks again Robert,”
“Words can’t say how happy I was with Chester’s care. It truly was home from home. I could see that he was treated as one of the family including the children. I liked that he could cuddle on the sofa in the evening with Jodie as he does with me at home and he had the freedom of the house. I would 100% recommend her. fabulous family environment”
About: Animals have always been part of my life. Growing up, we always had dogs and other pets, and caring for animals has come naturally to me from a young age. For the last 10 years, our family shared our home with our much-loved French Bulldog, Woody. We recently lost him very suddenly, which left a huge hole in our hearts. While no dog could ever replace Woody, we're looking forward to opening our home to other dogs and giving them the same love, care and attention that he enjoyed. I've also regularly looked after friends' dogs, including a lovely Labrador who I cared for well into his senior years. This has given me experience with different personalities, routines and needs. My husband, Laszlo, is my additional caretaker and shares my love of dogs. Between us, there's usually someone at home to provide company, care and plenty of attention for our furry guests. What makes us different is that we only welcome dogs from one household at a time. Your dog will enjoy a relaxed family environment, a secure garden, walks to the nearby park, plenty of company and, if they're used to it, lots of sofa cuddles too! Dogs fit naturally into our family life. I work part-time weekdays (9am–1pm) and my husband works nights, so there's usually someone at home to keep your dog company. We live just a couple of minutes from the park, making it easy to fit walks, playtime and plenty of attention into every day. I care for every dog as if they were my own. Dogs staying with us become part of the family and are welcome to relax on the sofa, enjoy time in our secure garden, and join us for walks and play. I like to stick to each dog's usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, sleeping arrangements and any special requirements. My goal is for owners to enjoy their time away knowing their dog is safe, happy and loved.
“Amadeusz kept me updated the whole day with Paddy. He not only walked him but did activities (fetch/ brain stimulation treat games) - Paddy came home wrecked after a super fun day! Will defo be using him again. ☺️”
“Lubomira spoilt my Maya rotten! I was showered with photos and videos the whole time I was away to keep me at ease and let me know what she was up to! Maya thoroughly enjoyed her stay. I have already rebooked!! Thank you very much for looking after my fur baby so well :)”
“Tom looked after Enola (our 18 month old flat coat retriever) and she had a great time. Tom was super flexible and kept us informed about our dog happiness with overwhelming us with information! We were able to kick back and enjoy a local festival (that did not allow dogs)!!”
“Cathy was fantastic and Harley was very content and had had a good balance of walks, downtime and exploring. Cathy’s dog Stan is a lovely friendly boy and they clearly took to each other. Will definitely rebook when I need to next.”
About: I am totally obsessed with my dog, he is my child. I've raised him from a pup, and he's now 2. We have done countless training together - gundog, tricks, cooperative care, and scent detection. Loki is the sweetest little polar bear - I'm used to a dog that likes getting wet and muddy, so that's never a problem. He's well socialised and is a crowd pleaser at his daycare (he goes once a week for a bit of enrichment). Your animals will be in very safe hands - I'll treat them as my own. I also have a crate and play pen Loki doesn't use anymore, so just let me know if this is required for night time. I wake up with Loki between 7-8am. He gets his breakfast kibble either scattered around the garden or in a Kong to start the day off with a bit of excitement. I login for work at 9am, and Loki has free run of the house and garden. Around 12-1 we either jump in the car and head over to somewhere like Donyland Woods, the Wick, Layer, Rowhedge Woods etc, or we'll walk over to our local park. Loki then has his midday snack, or treats on the walk. 5.00 I give Loki his dinner. Around 5.30 (or later if it's too sunny), we head out for our second walk after work, which is a longer one. Then we usually chill, or play some tug of war or other games if he's still energetic. Go to bed around 10ish, and Loki shares the bed with me. I have a fairly big fenced garden. Loki is a 2 year old Goldador and is a very sweet, submissive boy.

“Highly recommend Stephanie, she provides excellent care. Mabel had a wonderful stay and the updates given were wonderful. A lovely couple who clearly love animals. They provide a level of care and attention that is outstanding.”
“Patricia took such good care of my dog, Lila. She stayed with her for two nights and everything went really well. Patricia was so kind and attentive, and she kept me updated with photos and videos, which gave me a lot of peace of mind Thank you Patricia :)”
