“Lucy was overjoyed when we pulled up at Nicola's home for her most recent stay. As ever, Luce was well looked after and loves her time with Nicola. I would have no hesitation in recommending Nicola to look after your dog.”
“Our red fox lab woody had a lovely time at Elizabeth’s at the weekend he was really well looked after and lovely to see photos and videos throughout his stay would definitely recommend her and would use again xx”
“Dougal stayed with Diana and her family for a week, and I was a little apprehensive as it was his first time staying with her. However, Diana immediately put me at ease by sending regular updates and photos. It was clear that Dougal thoroughly enjoyed his stay, made new friends, and had a wonderful time. I will definitely book Dougal to stay with Diana again.”
“What can I say about this amazing woman Angela. My husband had to have emergency surgery and I was so nervous leaving my baby Jax to a stranger but I simply had no choice. Angela put me and my dog Jax at ease from the moment I met her and every day she has sent me updates and photos on how Jax is getting on. Jax is an anxious dog and usually doesn’t warm to strangers easily but he has bonded with Angela and her family so well I doubt he will want to come back home. Angela was so supportive to me during my time and allowed me to extend the stay last minute due to my hubbys recovery taking longer than expected. She is a true angel and an amazing dog lover. 5 stars from me.”
“Diana was fantastic! She took such good care of our dog, Scout, who was very happy, and got on well with Diana's friendly doggie. They were quite a pair and had fun together. Diana's communication was also excellent. She was quick to respond and kept us updated with photos and messages. Highly recommend.”
“Sunshyne was incredible with our Dog Cuba, who boarded with her for 3nights. Sunshyne went out of her way to make him comfortable as he may have been a little anxious to begin with, but in no time he was comfortable and enjoying his time there. I received regular updates & photos/videos. I cannot Thank Sunshyne enough, she was just amazing with her communication throughout. Cuba returned home a very very Happy dog. I would definately be using her services again and would highly recommend her. Thanks again.”
About: We have had family dogs for the last 11 years, we currently have 2 bearded collies, Merlin (11yrs) and Griffon (5yrs) and they are regular visitors to our new home we recently purchased! There is plenty of room for fun in the fenced garden and other very friendly dogs in the neighbourhood we may bump into on walks. I work from home so there will always be someone around for your furry friend. I work remotely full time, however I have a very active lifestyle and go for walks in the morning, lunch times and evenings. I also have a flexible work schedule and with enough notice can make day time walks work if required Our family dogs do not live with us, they are with my in-laws, however as retired parents should be, they are very keen travellers and we are very happy dog sitters! As mentioned, we have a fenced in garden and lots of surrounding areas for dog walks. I work from home so am around to monitor and keep fluffy friends company.
“Jenny clearly loves and understands dogs. We felt she really listened to us and we felt that she understood how important it was to follow the routines we have put in place to make Daisy feel secure and comfortable. She was warm , welcoming and reassuring. Jenny sent photos and messsges and we could see how relaxed and content Daisy was. We think we have found the ideal person to look after Daisy!”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and honestly can’t imagine life without them🥰 Over the years, I’ve regularly looked after dogs for friends, family, and neighbors, and I genuinely love getting to know each of their personalities. I’ve cared for a mix of breeds including Cocker Spaniels, Belgian Malinois, Shih Tzus, Springer Spaniels, and French Bulldogs, so I’m really comfortable with different sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. I treat every dog like they’re my own and just want them to feel happy, safe, and loved while they’re with me 🐶❤️ I work full time during the week, but I’m available from Friday evening (6pm) through to Sunday to spend quality time with your dog. Weekends for me are all about walks, playtime, and relaxing together, making sure they feel comfortable and at home. I always aim to create a calm, happy environment where your dog feels settled and well cared for! I live in a dog-friendly flat with a secure fenced garden and no other dogs, so it’s a relaxed space for your dog to settle in. We’re just a short walk from a large field and close to Epping Forest, perfect for walks and fresh air. I’ll follow your dog’s routine closely, including any diet or medication, to help them feel comfortable and at ease. I take the time to get to know each dog and make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home. I will always keep you updated with doggy pics and updates throughout their stay❤️
“Charlie was amazing with Benji and Maya for our wedding. She treated them like her own so much so that Maya went back to sleep when we picked her up. It was definitely a home away from home for our dogs. Would definitely recommend! Thank you Charlie!”
“Anely and her lovely family are so warm and kind! Kapi had a wonderful time at their place, and I had peace of mind on my holiday with frequent updates and pics of my doggy having a great and relaxing time :) thank you Anely!!!!”
“Anna is a responsive, reliable and effective dog sitter - we had complete confidence in her over the 10 days we were away. She provided regular updates and attentive care for our dog, that suffers from some separation anxiety. Recommended.”
“Our dogs, Miso and Kimchi, boarded with Kelly for 1 night. Kelly was fantastic and we are looking forward to using her in future. It's clear that Kelly has a passion for dogs and she quickly built a bond with our dogs and she ensured they had a home away from home. Kelly provided us with regular updates and ensured they managed the recent heat wave well. We would highly recommend Kelly.”
“Beckie was FANTASTIC! I received lots of photos showing that Griffin was happy and comfy and being given loads of love and attention. Responsiveness was great and generally really happy with everything. Well definitely use again for Griffin, he was clearly so happy there!”
“George took excellent care of my dog, taking her on walks and keeping her great company. He provided regular updates, which reassured me. I recommend him and his partner to everyone.”
About: I've had dogs in my family since I was a child, from Spaniels to German Shepherds Often look after friends and family pets , would love to be able to help people out by looking after their 4 legged family members I'm semi retired from the job I've been doing for 35 years, had a dog up to 3 years ago and decided not to get another as I was still working. Caring for someone else's dog seems like a great way to have a dog in my life again and help you out I have a fenced garden and miles of countryside for walking your dog, am happy to look after your family member at yours or my home
About: Hi! I’m Anna, a reliable and caring pet lover based in Essex with a genuine passion for animals and their wellbeing. I provide dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting services tailored to each pet’s individual needs and routine. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, or simply making sure your pet feels safe and comfortable while you’re away, I always aim to give them plenty of attention, care, and affection. I understand how important it is for owners to feel confident their pets are in safe hands, so I always treat every animal as if they were my own. I also previously worked in a dog grooming salon, where I gained hands-on experience working with a wide range of dog breeds, temperaments, and personalities. This helped me become confident handling nervous, energetic, and shy dogs while understanding the importance of patience, calmness, and proper care. I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes and energy levels, and I’m always happy to follow any routines, training, dietary needs, or special instructions owners may have. My availability is flexible, I do work part time but it’s only for a few hours on a couple days a week but looking to drop it so I can do what I do best and work with animals full time! I make sure pets receive quality time, attention, exercise, and company during walks or stays. I’m organised, trustworthy, and committed to providing a positive experience for both pets and their owners. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pets! I’m currently available Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday mornings, Thursday afternoons, Friday, and Saturday for dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. I currently work part-time for only a few hours on certain days, but I’m looking to transition into animal care full-time as it’s something I’m truly passionate about. When caring for pets, owners can expect regular updates, reliability, lots of attention, exercise, playtime, and a calm, caring environment where their pets feel safe and comfortable. I always aim to follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel settled and happy while in my care. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and wellbeing are always my top priorities. I provide a calm, caring, and trustworthy environment where pets can feel relaxed and secure while in my care. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pets with someone else, so I always make sure owners feel updated and reassured throughout their pet’s stay. I also have a secure fenced garden where dogs can safely enjoy outdoor time, play, and exercise in a controlled environment. I always supervise pets carefully and follow any routines, instructions, or safety requirements provided by owners to ensure every pet feels happy, comfortable, and well looked after.

3 of my girls stayed from Friday to Sunday, we received photo updates and messages to say they were being good and everything was going well. My dogs looked very happy and settled in the photos and when collected on Sunday they were in great condition. I will definitely use this sitter again as felt very at ease with them and think they took great care of my dogs.
Beckie was FANTASTIC! I received lots of photos showing that Griffin was happy and comfy and being given loads of love and attention. Responsiveness was great and generally really happy with everything. Well definitely use again for Griffin, he was clearly so happy there!
Absolutely fantastic! Enzo stayed for five days and had the most amazing time. From the moment we left him, we felt completely reassured that he was in the best hands, which meant we could relax and fully enjoy our holiday. We received regular updates and lots of lovely photos, and it was clear just how happy and settled he was. The weather was incredibly hot during his stay, but they went above and beyond to make sure he stayed cool, comfortable, and well looked after. Enzo had so much fun! He was clearly treated like part of the family and even found himself another best friend in Angela’s husband. It was so lovely to see the bond they formed! We came home to a very happy, contented dog and wouldn't hesitate to book again. Thank you both so much for taking such wonderful care of Enzo – he can't wait for his next stay! 🩶
Special thanks to Kate who we can highly recommend. Kate and her family were great with our dog Vinnie, it was the very first time we had left him; he can be very anxious but settled in with them very well for the week that we were away. We received daily updates and photos and would be very happy to leave him with Kate again.
Simply the best. They cared for our little Frank as if he were part of their own family. We truly couldn’t recommend them more highly. Finding such a kind, trustworthy couple and a home where our little man is so well looked after means the world to us. We feel incredibly lucky.
Luna stayed with Zivile for 3 nights/4 days. Zivile and her family were brilliant with Luna, she was cared for as if she was their own. Communication was great, we got loads of photo and video updates and Zivile was really flexible with drop off and pick up times. Will definitely rebook in the future ☺️
I was lucky enough to come across Rebecca when my summer holiday boarder due to an emergency had to cancel 48hours before we were due to go away! Rebecca agreed for us to come around on short notice and having told her, that my dog is nervous when meeting other dogs at first, she was super professional when meeting us with her lovely dog Archie. That prevented any potential issues further down the line and I had no hesitations dropping my dog off, she settled in immediately. There is no doubt Rebecca took excellent care of her - she shared pics and comments and went far beyond what could be expected of a boarder plus her updates were quite funny too. Archie was super patient with having another dog in his territory, I could not have wished for more. I will very happily use Rebecca again!
India was absolutely amazing, I was worried leaving our dogs for the 1st time with a stranger but after meeting with her my mind at ease immediately. You can tell she has a love for dogs. I have just picked them up and although they were happy to see me again they were also sad to be leaving India. I couldn’t recommend her highly enough. Thank you for taking care of Fifi and Luna. Joe
Kyro had the best time with Sunshyne. She kept us updated, took him on lovely walks, kept to his dietary requirements as he had a bit of an upset tummy. I don’t even want to leave a greta review so people don’t steal her amazing services from me! But honestly she’s a god send and I can tell Kyro is a lot happier than when he has stayed at other people’s homes.
Chico was the only boarded dog which meant he got a lot of attention, Caroline and her family treated Chico like their own and he even slept in their bedroom! Their house backs onto the fields which is perfect, cannot recommend enough he was very well cared for. 5 stars
I can't recommend this dog sitter enough! From the moment I left Willow with her, I felt completely at ease. She sent loads of videos and photos throughout Willow's stay, and kept me updated constantly. It was so clear that Willow wasn't just being looked after, but was truly part of their family. I'll definitely be using her services again!
Manuela is a knowledgable, dedicated and highly effective dog carer. We had complete confidence in leaving our dog Winnie in her care. Manuela’s communication was great, providing regular video / photographic updates. Her location allows easy access to outside space for walks & exercise. I would highly recommend Manuela as a dog carer.
