“Diana was the perfect sitter for Bodhi, very well communicated, sending updates and provided Bodhi with a very family orientated environment. Would definitely recommend and most certainly will be using again.”
“Hannah has looked after Noodle countless times, and he absolutely adores her! The second we arrive, he charges toward the door without hesitation. It’s clear he feels right at home. Every time I collect him, he’s all tail wags and joy, full of stories I wish he could tell! Hannah keeps me in the loop throughout with lovely updates, pictures, and videos. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to recommend her. Noodle can’t wait for his next visit, and I know he’ll be spoiled with love once again. Huge thanks to Hannah for being his home away from home!”

“Mima is a fantastic dogsitter. We were receiving photos and updates and spent three days away with no worries about our dog as we knew he was in good hands. Our dog had more walks than he usually had at home and made friends with Mima's dog who is very friendly. Having your doggy with Mima really puts your mind at ease!”

About: I have been surrounded by animals throughout my life and have experience caring for a wide variety of pets, including dogs, cats, hamsters, rabbits, guinea pigs, and fish. I have trained my own dogs in agility, achieving Grade 5, as well as in Obedience and Trick Dog disciplines, earning recognised titles along the way. I am passionate about animal welfare and dedicated to providing the highest standard of care. I take pride in offering a reliable, professional service that enables more people to enjoy the companionship of dogs, with the confidence that their pets are receiving exceptional care. I work from home, which gives me the flexibility and availability to provide reliable, attentive care tailored to you and your pet's individual needs. I provide a safe, secure home environment with a fully fenced garden and a friendly, well-socialised dog to keep your pet company. If preferred, I can also accommodate dogs that are crate trained or require crating as part of their routine. I offer both dog walking and home boarding services. Whether you need someone to take your dog for a local walk while you're at work or a caring home-from-home environment while you're away for a few days, you can be confident your pet will receive attentive, personalised care. I also have three children who have grown up around dogs and understand how to interact with them calmly and respectfully, helping to create a welcoming and family-friendly environment for your pet.

“Lucia was wonderful at looking after our 3 cats whilst we were away; she gave us updates on how they were and gave our elderly cat her medication. Came home to happy cats :) Thank you Lucia! Looking forward to next time ”
“Giorgina was a late booking but she made every happen easily, we met prior to the sit so I could show her the cats routine. She was gentle in her approach and it was so helpful that she is familiar with raw feeding. The cats were settled when we returned. Giorgina was very flexible and enabled us to extend our stay during our trip which we were very grateful for.”
“Look! Don't even think twice! Michael is your guy! From a very worried owner to a very jealous one 🤣 he was an absolute star, keeping me updated after every single visit, cute pics and videos! Karma absolutely loved him. I've never seen my cat doing "biscuits" with anyone else apart from me and on day 2, I was sent a video of her doing it with him! Oh and kisses... She gave him kisses! He's definitely a "cat whisperer" and I'll obviously book again with him!!!”
About: I have grown up with cats in the family home and currently have a lovely senior cat who we’ve adopted. I’m experienced in caring for cats of all ages, from kittens to older cats who may need a bit of extra care and attention. I’ll make sure your cat feels comfortable, relaxed, and gets plenty of love and cuddles while you’re away.
About: I’ve been around and caring for cats since I was young and understand that every cat has their own personality, routine and boundaries. I’m confident caring for cats of different ages and temperaments, including older cats who may need a little more patience, attention and a quieter approach. I’m happy to follow feeding routines, clean litter trays, give medication where required, provide play and enrichment, and of course give affection on their terms. I know some cats can take time to feel comfortable with someone new, so I never force interaction. I let them come to me and make sure they feel safe and settled in their own home. I’m reliable, attentive and happy to send regular photo and message updates so you can relax knowing your cat is being properly cared for while you’re away.
“Rue & James were both lovely, they kept us updated throughout with messages and pictures of Thanos, which was great for our peace of minds. Thanos can be a scaredy cat, so it was so nice to see how his friendship with Rue was progressing and seeing him more relaxed with her by end of the week. I'd definitely recommend them both and I'll be booking them to look after Thanos, next time we're away.”
“Tanvi was very professional liaising all the time, before and during her drop-in home visit with photos to ease my worries. My 6yr old Cockapoo Teddy is very anxious and not good with strangers, but he gelled well with Tanvi. The afternoon was a success and I am confident to leave Teddy in her capable hands for another visit really soon. I would highly recommend Tanvi to any dog owners with similar worries about leaving their dog.”

About: I’ve always lived with dogs. My husband and I currently share our home with two golden retrievers, both girls, one is 15 1/2 years old and the other is 8 1/2 years old. We’ve had both girls from puppies and have loved training them and sharing our lives with them. We live in a small village with the river Crouch and farmland walks on our doorstep. I’m a part time teacher but looking to retire next year so I have lots of time and love to offer any dogs who need a holiday hone As I have 2 dogs, I already have daily doggy routines in place. My dogs have access to the enclosed garden all day and enjoy our daily walks around various fields or along the seawall. Tide dependent, they also love swimming in the river. Although I work part time at school, my husband works from home so there’s usually at least one of us at home. We have a large, enclosed garden which our dogs love exploring/ sunbathing in! I would care for your pets in just the same way that I’ve always cared for my own pets. Daily walks, play and cuddles are paramount.

About: I have grown up around dogs and have been caring for them my whole life, from puppies right through to senior dogs. I regularly look after family members’ dogs while they’re away, and it’s something I really enjoy. One day, I’d love to start my own dog walking business as working with dogs is something I’m genuinely passionate about. It’s something I know I’d love doing every day. I currently work from home two days a week, which gives me flexibility to provide attentive care and enjoy some extra company. I am also available on weekends, so I have plenty of time to dedicate to looking after your pets and treating them like my own. I will always try to stick to your pet’s usual routine so they feel happy and settled, whether that’s feeding times, walks, or playtime.

About: 🐾 Hi, I’m a passionate animal lover with several years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all shapes, sizes, and personalities! At home, I’m proud pet parent to two mischievous cats, Bobby & Milo, and one fun-loving dog, Rolo, so I understand just how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your furry family members. Whether your pet loves long walks, endless cuddles, playtime adventures, or simply having a calm and reassuring companion while you’re away, I’ll tailor my care to their individual needs. I have extensive experience with both cats and dogs and always treat every pet as if they were my own. For your complete peace of mind, I am fully insured for pet sitting and dog walking, ensuring your beloved companions are in safe and professional hands. My goal is simple: happy pets, stress-free owners, and plenty of wagging tails and purring cats! 🐶🐱 I’d love to meet you and your furry family, so please feel free to get in touch. I can’t wait to make some new four-legged friends! Pet care is a huge part of my daily life. As the owner of two cats, Bobby & Milo, and a dog, Rolo, caring for animals is already built into my routine every single day. From feeding, walking, playtime, grooming, and cuddles to making sure each pet gets the attention and care they need, I’m very experienced in managing the different needs and personalities of both cats and dogs. I structure my schedule around providing reliable, consistent care, which allows me to dedicate quality time to the pets I look after. Whether it’s morning walks, daytime visits or evening feeds I enjoy incorporating pet care into my week and genuinely love spending time with animals. For me, pet care isn’t just a job—it’s something I’m passionate about. I understand how important routines are for pets, and I always aim to keep them happy, comfortable, and stress-free while their owners are away. I always provide care that is tailored to each pet’s individual needs, routine, and personality. I understand that every animal is different, and I take the time to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away. When caring for pets in a pet owner’s home, I aim to maintain their usual routine as closely as possible. This includes feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, administering medication if required, cleaning litter trays, and, of course, plenty of affection and companionship. Keeping pets in their familiar environment helps reduce stress and allows them to feel relaxed while their owners are away. For dog walking services, I ensure dogs receive safe, enjoyable walks suited to their age, energy level, and requirements. Whether they enjoy a brisk adventure or a gentle stroll, their wellbeing and safety are always my top priorities. As a pet owner myself to two cats, Bobby & Milo, and my dog, Rolo, I know how important trust, communication, and reliability are. I provide regular updates, photos, and messages so owners can have complete peace of mind knowing their pets are happy and well cared for. I am also fully insured for pet sitting and dog walking, offering an additional level of reassurance that your beloved pets are in safe and professional hands.
About: I’ve had dogs all my life, so caring for them has always been a big part of my day-to-day life. I regularly look after dogs for family and friends and treat every dog that stays with us as if they were my own. Most recently, we looked after my sister’s dog, Bailey, for a week while she was away. Bailey settled in really well and had a great time with us, with plenty of walks, playtime, cuddles and attention. I’m confident caring for dogs with different personalities and routines, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable and at home while they’re in my care I work from home so plenty of love to give, lots of walks & cuddles. I have a cockapoo too who loves other dogs and would love the company. We have a fenced garden totally safe and big to run around, plus a very loving home that they are free to roam wherever they would like.
About: I have had dogs for the last 10 years. I have a very close bond with them and love spending my time with them. I also walk, feed and bathe them. I have taken care of friends dogs from time to time as well as both cats and dogs through Rover! I currently work remotely meaning I am able to spend lots of quality time with your pets at the same time as working! I often go for a walk with my own dogs around lunchtime. I have a large fenced garden next to a beach and two friendly dogs of my own! They love new company and having adventures together.
“Leah is great, responsive and provided great care for Dougal. We really appreciated all the photos Leah shared whilst looking after Dougal, we know that he had the best time in her care. We will be using Leah again in the future.”
About: I know it’s not “just a dog”, they’re our babies. I’ll treat yours like my own, with lots of love, attention, walks and lots of cuddles too! 🐾 I’m starting my Master’s online, which means I’ll be home far more than I’m out. Your dog won’t be fitted around my day, they’ll pretty much become part of it. Study break? Walk. Need some air? Walk. Procrastinating? Probably another walk. I love having a dog wandering around the house with me, so they’ll have plenty of company and attention throughout the day. Handing your dog over to someone you barely know is scary. I know because I have one and struggle to trust anyone with him! They’re your best friend and probably the most precious little thing in your life. I’ll look after yours with the same care I’d want for my Dexter, keep you updated with pictures, and make sure they’re safe, happy, loved and having the best time while you’re away. 🐾
About: ❤️🐾 I have just over 2 years experience working with dogs of all breeds, size, age and temperaments! I have gained a lot of experience particularly with nervous and dog aggressive dogs. I have a Level 2 Animal Care qualification as well as canine first aid training. I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and have experience caring for them through every stage of their lives, from puppyhood to their senior years, as well as caring for and raising a rescue dog 🐾❤️ 🐾 I am available full time for bookings to provide reliable and loving care for your pup, for both walking and sitting. My day would solely be based around your furry friend 🐾 I have a securely fenced 130ft garden and a friendly 6 year old Shih Tzu to keep your fur-baby company! I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, so I take the time to ensure they feel comfortable, safe, and happy whilst in my care. Whether your dog needs a fun walk, playtime, feeding, or simply some companionship, I’ll provide them with the attention and care they deserve. I’m committed to keeping you updated with messages and photos, so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry friend is in good hands. To help pets feel comfortable and safe, I make sure leashes, gates, doors, and feeding areas are secure, give shy or anxious pets plenty of patience and calm reassurance, and pay close attention to their behavior so I can respond quickly to any needs. I am happy to administer any medication your dog may require. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to create a positive, stress-free experience for both you and your pet!
“Lorna recently looked after our Jack Russell, Toby, and we couldn’t be happier with the care she gave him. From the moment we met her, she was warm, friendly, and clearly experienced with dogs. She took the time to get to know Toby and made sure he felt comfortable and settled. It was obvious throughout that she genuinely cares about the dogs she looks after. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. Toby came home happy, relaxed, and clearly very well cared for. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Lorna to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy dog sitter. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Toby – we’ll definitely be booking with you again!”
“Charlotte was a wonderful carer for our terrier. She was extremely flexible when our plans changed and was available at short notice. Charlotte shared plenty of photos and updates throughout the day and even gave him a new toy. I highly recommend Charlotte for dog caring needs!”
“Bethany was really great with Bonnie and provides a great service. Great communication and reliability. Bonnie was happy and well looked after, she had great plays with their dog Bruce during the day. I really recommend her”
“Jane was absolutely fantastic with our dogs. She is a very kind and caring person, and it was clear from the start that she genuinely loves animals. Our dogs stayed with her for two days, and the best proof of how happy they were is that on the second day they were excited to go back to her again. They looked relaxed, happy, and well cared for throughout their stay. I would highly recommend Jane to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog sitter. The happiness and excitement of our dogs says it all. Thank you, Jane!”

About: I’ve grown up around animals and have been caring for pets since I was around 10 years old. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats, as well as pets of different ages, personalities and routines. I know how important it is to feel completely comfortable with the person looking after your pets, so I always take the time to understand their normal routine, likes, dislikes and any individual needs. I work from home, which gives me lots of flexibility and means I can spend plenty of time with the animals in my care rather than leaving them alone for long periods. I’m happy to follow feeding and walking routines, provide lots of playtime and attention, and of course give plenty of cuddles to pets who want them! My aim is for your pet to feel safe, settled and loved while you’re away and for you to be able to relax knowing they’re in good hands. I work from home which gives me much larger availability to care for my own animals and to give me time to care for others. I live at home with my mum so thankfully we also have someone in for my dogs/cats and I am able to do the same for someone else. I work full-time from home, which gives me plenty of flexibility throughout the day. I can easily work pet care around my schedule, including regular feeding, toilet breaks, walks, playtime and lots of company. This also means pets in my care won’t be left alone for long periods. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I’ll follow their usual routine and any instructions you provide, including feeding, medication, walks and household rules. I make sure their environment is secure and pay close attention to their behaviour so I can spot if anything seems unusual. I also treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own.

I’m comfortable looking after puppies, adult dogs, and senior dogs, and I always tailor my care to each dog’s individual needs and routine. Whether it’s walks, playtime, administering basic care, or simply providing companionship, I treat every dog as if they were my own. My priority is ensuring every dog feels safe, happy, and loved while in my care.
About: I have a cat and two dogs of my own, which I have taken care of since they were puppies. I have both dog sat and cat sat for multiple friends and family (including over long periods of time). I am currently a second year biology student with a particular interest in animal behaviour. On my days off from university I enjoy looking after and forming connections with your pets and i feel very passionate about what i do. I will make sure your pets are safe, happy and fed. I will keep a constant eye on them and look after them to the best of my ability.
About: I have very good communication skills with pets. I grew up with my cat and developed a strong understanding of animals. While studying for my Vet Medicine degree, I also worked as a volunteer in animal shelters and gained experience in caring for animals with different needs. I have full time job, start very early and finish early afternoon. Free all the weekends, and evenings. I have a car could drive near places . I have a degree in Veterinary Medicine and I currently work as a Vet. You can trust me to take care of your pets. I can also help with following treatment plans and if needed help you with giving your pet tablets.
About: Hi! I’m a reliable, caring dog lover who works from home part time and spends the rest of the week as a stay at home mum, so your dog will have plenty of company, attention, and care throughout the day. My toddler is with me most weekdays (he attends nursery two days a week, increasing to three days from September), so I’m looking after dogs that are friendly and comfortable around young children. He has been brought up around dogs and is always supervised, ensuring everyone stays happy and safe. We have a lovely open plan downstairs where dogs can relax and feel at home, along with a secure, good sized garden for outdoor play and toilet breaks. We’re also lucky to have beautiful local walks nearby, as well as secure dog fields just down the road that I can book, giving dogs a safe space to run, play, and burn off energy. Every dog is different, so I’ll always follow their usual routine and give them the care they need, whether that’s long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply a quiet place to relax. I’ll treat your dog like one of the family and keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you can enjoy your time away knowing they’re in safe and loving hands. I’m a stay at home mum to my toddler and work part time from my beauty room in the garden, so I’m home for most of the day and have plenty of time to give your dog attention and company. I occasionally do freelance work, but this is only on odd dates and isn’t regular, so I can usually be very flexible with bookings. I’m available for plenty of daytime care and can work around your dog’s usual routine as much as possible. I have a secure, fenced off garden and an open plan downstairs space where your dog can feel comfortable and at home. I have a lovely, friendly dog who enjoys having a playmate but is also very happy to relax and snooze in the sunshine. We have some lovely walks close by, so there are plenty of opportunities for walks, playtime and exploring. I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual routine and give them lots of love and attention while they’re with me.

I’m available for dog walks and pet visits all year round! Offering plenty of time to fuss over your pets. I am self employed at Blazewater Newfoundlands and The Pussy Cat Hillton Cat Hotel so can easily arrange time to help. Home Visits Available We usually do a free consultation at your home so you can show me where everything is, so we can meet your pet and to discuss your requirements. Here we would also exchange keys. From then on per visit is charged. I recommend once a day at a minimum for cats. Dogs would be discussed at consultation as this depends on how long you are out. At a visit we will feed your pets if required, change water bowls, clean any litter trays/the garden if required and will send you a photo update of your pets. If they would like a fuss I will give them ALLLLL the fusses, kisses and cuddles 🥰 I can also turn lights on/off, the TV, water plants if needed etc just discuss this at consultation. We do not let cats outside while we do cat visits. This is because we cannot guarantee your cats will come home for us the same way they do for mum or dad. We also cannot guarantee their safety if they go outside while you are away. To secure visits I take a 50% non refundable deposit. If you have any questions please get in touch! Chloe
About: We’re an Essex-based couple, huge animal lovers and proud owners of a 65kg Great Dane named Dobey, so big and boisterous dogs are nothing new to us! Most walks and drop-ins are done together, giving us two sets of eyes, especially with larger or reactive dogs. We have experience working with trainers and behaviourists and are happy to follow any routines or training you have in place. We also have two cats and experience caring for senior cats and dogs, including medication needs. We always arrange a meet and greet first so we can get to know you and your pet properly 🐾 We have a really flexible schedule, and there’s almost always someone at home. This means we’re very flexible with drop-ins and walks and can easily work around your pet’s usual routine. We always make sure pets feel safe and comfortable in their own home and stick closely to their usual routine. We also have lots of experience with reactive dogs and have worked closely with behaviourists and trainers, so we’re confident following any routines or training you already have in place. We’re also happy to offer suggestions where helpful, while always following what works best for you and your dog.

About: I grew up with dogs, I beleieve their first language is love. They can feel it. I've been told my house is the 'Dog Rehab' 🫡 They always leave feeling better than when they came. I work in media from home,i need walks as much as my dog because I beleieve it's essential to take a break from the screen and refresh my mind. Pets get alot of love and frequently rewarded in my home for just being beautiful animals. I have lots of treats. They love to be around me, but I do give them freedom to explore the home. Nothing dangerous around the flat as it's a pretty minimalistic w comfy rugs in the living room and dog beds in my room.
About: I do all services, but NONE at my home. I can come to you! I had a rescue German shepherd dog since I was young. We took her to training and agility classes. I have dog sat and dog walked for people a few times. I have worked in childcare for 3+ years and I still am. I have availability on Mondays. I am available some evenings after work at 5pm and I am available at weekends. I love all dogs and other small animals. I would prefer to dogsit at the owners home (s) if possible. I would make sure that food that is not dog food is out of reach and they wouldn't climb on anything, furniture etc. that they are not supposed to.

“Hannah has looked after Noodle countless times, and he absolutely adores her! The second we arrive, he charges toward the door without hesitation. It’s clear he feels right at home. Every time I collect him, he’s all tail wags and joy, full of stories I wish he could tell! Hannah keeps me in the loop throughout with lovely updates, pictures, and videos. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to recommend her. Noodle can’t wait for his next visit, and I know he’ll be spoiled with love once again. Huge thanks to Hannah for being his home away from home!”

“Fantastic dog sitters!! Kept me up to date with all the fun adventures they were having and I know she have the best time!! Would highly recommend this sitter and will definitely be using again 😊”
“Alison looked after our puppy Luna for the day and overnight, Luna was very well looked after, cared for and given lots of attention and affection. Alison was great at understanding Luna’s needs and communicating with and also sent pictures and videos of Luna so we could see how she was getting on throughout her stay. Would definitely recommend. Thank you so much 😊”
“Michael took excellent care of my dog in his home while I was away for a few days. Michael kept good contact with me and sent me photos of a very happy dog - I returned back to a very happy dog and even more great photos! I've got full faith in Michael and would fully recommend him I'll be contacting Michael in the future.”
“Kirsty was FANTASTIC!! Artemis had the most wonderful time. Took all the stress of my day away knowing she was in such a dog friendly home. Kirsty send photos and videos updating me on their day and Artemis looked so happy. And, bonus, she was absolutely exhausted and very snoozy all evening after her wonderful day.”
About: I have been surrounded by animals throughout my life and have experience caring for a wide variety of pets, including dogs, cats, hamsters, rabbits, guinea pigs, and fish. I have trained my own dogs in agility, achieving Grade 5, as well as in Obedience and Trick Dog disciplines, earning recognised titles along the way. I am passionate about animal welfare and dedicated to providing the highest standard of care. I take pride in offering a reliable, professional service that enables more people to enjoy the companionship of dogs, with the confidence that their pets are receiving exceptional care. I work from home, which gives me the flexibility and availability to provide reliable, attentive care tailored to you and your pet's individual needs. I provide a safe, secure home environment with a fully fenced garden and a friendly, well-socialised dog to keep your pet company. If preferred, I can also accommodate dogs that are crate trained or require crating as part of their routine. I offer both dog walking and home boarding services. Whether you need someone to take your dog for a local walk while you're at work or a caring home-from-home environment while you're away for a few days, you can be confident your pet will receive attentive, personalised care. I also have three children who have grown up around dogs and understand how to interact with them calmly and respectfully, helping to create a welcoming and family-friendly environment for your pet.
“Robert and his family were great with both my boys, ad Achi was very good with them too, I got loads of pictures and videos, and they even got a groom :) so nice to be able to not worry about my babies while im away because I know theyre in great hands”
“Maddy was fantastic with my dog Cooper last night! Cooper tends to be nervous in new situations, but Maddy was completely understanding and put him right at ease. Receiving her regular photos and updates gave me total peace of mind. He was so happy when I picked him up too, I couldn't have asked for a better experience!”
“Lucy was brilliant! Had lots of pictures and updates during Pippa's stay with her! I could tell from the pictures how relaxed and happy Pippa was! Lucy was happy to give medication when it was needed and nothing was too much trouble! I am very sure Pippa will be staying with Lucy again in the future! Definitely recommended!”
“My dog, Lemmy, had a wonderful time with Cathy. I’m very grateful that she agreed to look after him at short notice. Also, the great walks she took him on. Overall, I couldn’t be happier with the care Lemmy received while I was away. Thank you Cathy; we’ll see you again soon!”
“Joanne has been an absolutely wonderful dog sitter. She is kind, caring, and clearly loves animals. Our dog was so well looked after and felt completely at home with her lovely family. It gave us real peace of mind knowing our dog was in such a warm and loving environment. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Joanne to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter.”
“It was the first time we had left Peggy so a little anxious. Catriona was lovely, when we first introduced her to Peggy then popped to her home we could see she would look after her. Peggy enjoyed meeting Cooper, Catriona’s dog and had a nice time. Catriona was sending me video’s, photo’s of Peggy as she knew I’d be anxious, which I needn’t have been. Would definitely have no hesitation in using Catriona again and recommending- thank you for looking after Peggy 🥰.”
“First time booking with Hannah we had a pre meet obviously nervous leaving our lab with someone we’d only meet through the booking site. When we dropped her off our lab tottered off had a wonder round greeted by all the family loved the attention she made herself at home and I felt at ease she’d be okay we had daily updates with photos and videos she looked happy on all them. We look forward to booking with Hannah again she certainly gave 5 star top class service. Thank you Hannah and family.”
“Daisy and Chester stayed with Daniel for 3 days/2 nights in preparation for a longer stay and to make sure all is well. Both dogs already love Daniel from earlier, shorter visits and were very keen to get through his front door when we arrived. Settled within minutes and not bothered by our leaving them with Daniel. We received regular updates, photos and videos and everything we heard indicated a home from home scenario. When we went to collect them they were obviously pleased to see us, but were both keen for a continued fuss from Daniel. Daniel makes his guests very welcome and is attentive and very tuned into their needs. Highly recommended.”
“We can’t rate Lauren highly enough! Our Bella loved her time with Lauren and the kids. Trying to pick Bella up to bring her home and she curls up next to Lauren, which I’m taking as the dog equivalent of “I want to live here now”. We’ve already rebooked with Lauren for the next trip away”
“Patricia is a lovely dog sitter for my Tango and she took great care of her with lots of walks and stimulation and lots of snuggles and love! I would recommend Patricia for anyone. Thankyou so much!”
“Our Cora has a wonderful stay with Leah and her family. She was definitely one of the family whilst there! Leah kept me updated with regular messages and beautiful photos! Will definitely use her again and would recommend to anyone. 10/10”
