1. Anely C.

“Dougal recently stayed with Anely and her family for a few days, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! Anely kept me updated regularly, which I truly appreciated—it was so reassuring to know that Dougal was enjoying his time with her little dog, Brownie, and bonding with Anely's family. It's clear Dougal has grown very attached to her, which is incredibly comforting. Knowing he's comfortable, happy, and in such safe hands allows me to fully relax when he's with her. Highly recommend!”

“Ana is an outstanding dog care provider. Gordi had the best time, she looked so happy in all the pictures and was so relaxed and happy. Ana went above and beyond to help me out. If you want your dog to be in a loving, fun nurturing environment I highly recommend Ana. We will definitely be coming back.”

“We couldn’t recommend Catalina and Roberto enough. They’re we’re so welcoming and caring for our rescue Lurchers Moose. We had lovely regular updates and photos. Thank you both!”


5. Onder D.


“Lovely lovely people, who asked so many questions to understand Billie before the stay, and who kept me updated throughout the stay. I couldn't have felt more that Billie was in safe hands. Billie came home happy and exhausted and I wouldn't hesitate to book with Onder again. Thank you both (and Bambi!) for having her.”

16. Eleanor H.
About: We are a couple in our late 20’s who love and have grown up around dogs, and love meeting new pooches to add into our lives💕 We have looked after multiple breeds from sausage to labs and feel confident in having all breeds in our care. As a couple we love being outside and walks in the forest so we hope to give your dog some fun time outside, we also love having a dog in the house for evenings on the sofa with a furry companion! I have done dog sitting both in my home and over night stays, for extended periods of up to 2 weeks. I have experience in looking after dogs that require medication and elderly dogs who take life a little slower. We hope you can reach out with any requests you may have and we can tell you more about us and what we can offer :) We are a hard working couple in our late 20’s who work in the NHS & TFL - we work a mixture of day & night shifts but not at the same time so there is always someone at home for your dog! No two weeks looks the same for us which we see as a real benefit as we are flexible and can offer a range of different times/dates and boarding and not boarding options. Please do reach out with what you need and we are certain we can help! We live in a 2x bed maisonette. We usually offer to put dog beds in the second room but are also ok if a pooch is used to being in the same room as people at night to have them in our room. We have a small garden/patio for quick stops, but we usually prefer to take the dogs a short work to Roding Valley for all the space they deserve!


17. Natalie D.

“Natalie and Ryan have been the best hosts for Qimiq. He's been thoroughly taken care of, had great fun with the other four-legged guests, and we were kept updated throughout his stay! The love Natalie has for dogs is undeniable, we can only wholeheartedly recommend her... And will certainly use her boarding services again! She's got our paw of approval!”


18. Jenny T.

“We left our bichon Crystal with Jenny for 2 weeks. Jenny is lovely and welcoming. She shared photos of Crystal everyday of their walks plus giving us little updates which we loved. It's obvious to see that Crystal was very happy and well looked after when we picked her up and we were not fully convinced that Crystal wanted to come home with us. Thank you so much Jenny.”


19. Evan B.

“We literally had an emergency trip to Birmingham and needed a sitter before we left in 4 hours. Evan agreed to take Nigel 2 hours before he left and thank God he was only 15 mins away! We dropped Nigel and knew he was in safe hands simply by meeting Evan and seeing how cool he was and the great taste in his housing decor! Evan kept us up to date with photos and messages, we felt really at ease. 48 hours later at collection time, Nigel was so chill and it's because he had bonded with Evan so naturally in such a short space of time. I highly recommend Evan, he is a great pet sitter!”


20. Marlene S.

“Marlene, once again, we cannot thank you enough for taking such great care of Crystal! As always, she looks so happy coming to stay with you. Will definitely be seeing you again very soon. 😀”
