“As usual, Lucy had a wonderful time staying with Nicola. Luce loves the amount of attention she receives and as her owner I appreciate the dedication she gets when she stays with Nicola and her husband.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
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❤️
“Elizabeth was such a great sitter for our Pepper. She was very responsive and sent us lots of photos and videos during our holidays abroad so we could be at ease that Pepper was okay and happy. Will book her more in the future!”
“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.”
“Panda loved his time with Diana! She was incredibly kind and considerate towards my nervous pup and gave him the love and care he needed while I was away for a couple of days! Diana was kind enough to send many pictures and videos as well which meant I could enjoy my time away with no worries :) will definitely be requesting her services again, thank you!”
“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 and Dot looked after our miniature dachshund whilst we went on holiday. They were incredibly professional throughout and provided exceptional care for Frankie giving him lots of care and attention. We would highly recommend them.”
“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!”
“We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Angela. She was a wonderful host and yogi had the most amazing time staying at her beautiful house. She was very caring, attentive and understanding of his needs. We literally had to drag him away!”
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
“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!”
“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.”
“Thank you Kerriann and family for taking great care of my baby boy..great communication throughout the day, very professional, caring and attentive. He had lots of fun and I would highly recommend to others and will certainly rebook again soon 😊”

He is a bit stressed with other dogs and large in size but they treated him like a member of their family, sending us photos and summaries regularly and showing nothing but love, kindness and affection for our gentle giant. Thank you so much ❤️”
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.

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
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.
