“Nick and his family were all super lovely. Great communication and were able to take care of Prince on such short notice which I am very grateful for. I would definitely recommend and look forward to Prince staying with them again!”


“I honestly can’t say enough good things about Yves!! Drew had an absolutely perfect week with her & Nick & sent me gorgeous daily photos and videos & kept me updated, which gave me peace of mind initially but also brought me so much joy as I missed her so much. She was so well taken care of & had an amazing social life going to a family bbq & out & about locally to parks & gardens every day & socialising with other dogs. I thoroughly recommend Yves, especially as Drew is not fully housetrained due to her age & being a Frenchie, she wasn’t phased in the slightest & has become very fond of Drew - I’m booking her again for two weeks time! Thank you so much Yves & Nick for making Drew so happy & treating her as if she were your own, she certainly loves you ♥️”

“Poppy had a great time - we were sent photos of her being walked and snuggled in her bed. Maggie and her family really looked after her and saves us the worry - would definitely stay there again - thank you ?”


“Luna had great stay defo use again .mollie was gteat”


“Karen was brilliant, at such short notice agreed to have dolly while I was abroad, every day I was told about her antics and what they got upto wether they were good or bad! And lots of photos throughout her stay to put my mind at rest! I can’t thank and recommend Karen enough! X”


“Amy is a great dog sitter! She was highly responsive to my messages and was happy to come for a meet and greet before we confirmed our booking - she gave up her lunchtime to come and visit! During Archie’s time with her, Amy kept in contact and sent photos. She even gave him a good brush! He clearly had a lovely time with her and came home happy and relaxed. I have no hesitation in recommending her to others. Thanks Amy!”


“Ellie was extremely well looked after with Karen! When we picked her up, she was happy and a little sleepy - perfect after we'd travelled home and were feeling a little sleepy ourselves! Thank you Karen - I'd happy use your services again and would recommend you to anyone!”


“Another fantastic stay. Ruby has had a lovely day with Mala! Talita and Neil are absolutely brilliant and take such good care of Ruby. Looking forward to using them again and I know Ruby can't wait!”


“Angela and Trevor are simply wonderful and Reg thoroughly enjoyed his stay!”


“After deciding last minute to get a sitter as we were going on our hols we reached out to Fang who took him in. I would definitely recommend her, she is very attentive & treats your cat like it's her own. We had regular updates & pics through the week that kept us reassured. If you are looking for someone who treats your pets lovingly in their home, spoils them & lets them feel totally at home Fang is definitely the sitter for you. Thank you so much, will definitely take our kitten back if needed.”


“Amazing family. Lovely updates on how our Star was doing. And really great experience for our first time. Will definitely recommend and using again if needed Star definitely seems to have enjoyed herself as well. :)”


“I was nervous to leave reg for the 1st time as i had never left him before. He had a trial night before we go away properly to see if he would be ok, he behaved himself and settled in quickly. Jodie put me at ease leaving him in safe hands, sent me photos and kept me updated. He enjoyed his stay and is booked in for another week when we go away. Would definetly recommend👌”


“Reggie had a great overnight stay with Carla. Drop off and pick up were smooth and communication great throughout. Would definitely recommend.”


About: Looking for a peaceful home for your dog while you're away? We offer a calm, smoke-free household with no children and one friendly 12-year-old Poochon for gentle company. We're home full time, so your dog will get plenty of attention, cuddles, and care throughout the day. We welcome well-behaved dogs with calm temperaments, and especially love low-shedding breeds like poodle crosses, but we're happy to consider others too. Your dog will feel safe, loved, and part of the family during their stay. Get in touch, we’d love to meet you and your doggo :) We both work full-time (although we have Wednesday’s off) and are both home-based so at least one of us will be around all the time. We have a good sized garden which is fully fenced and secure. We have one dog ourselves who is crate-trained. We would ask that you also provide a crate for your dog to sleep in at night or on the occasional time we both need to pop out briefly.

About: I’ve always been a massive dog lover and have always taken care of any dogs that I was given the chance to. My family and family friends have trusted me to walk and feed their lovely pets, aging from puppies to 13 year old doggies. I also am willing to enforce good lead and walking manner in order to keep up your pup’s training. I am unemployed at this point in time. I am pretty much free the majority of the week. I will be working by a first come, first served basis. I have a spacious fenced garden. For walks, I would ask beforehand about your pups temperament(s) so that I will be prepared if need be. I am happy to walk reactive dogs, as long as a muzzle is provided (for precautions). I would not let your pup off their lead, unless I personally can trust them with their recall. I’d let your fur baby explore some new spots, meet some new friends, and let all their energy out. If you have any queries, please contact me for any more details!

“Fiona took excellent care of our 14-month-old dog Zoya. She had a great time and returned home with a new (favourite) toy. Thank you for your outstanding service! Will definitely book with them again.”


“Kerry was amazing at looking after our dog for 8 nights while we were away. He clearly had a wonderful time with them and I will definitely be sending him here for love, attention and fab walks next time we go away. Thank you Kerry :-)”


“I was so pleased to find Danielle. I needed someone to look after Bertie for 5 days at very short notice. Danielle was accommodating, friendly and welcomed Bertie into her home. She listened to his needs and responded quickly to my communications. I will be using Danielle again.”


About: My partner Tom and I grew up with pets in our households and we've both been looking after dogs of various ages and sizes since we were teenagers. I've also previously looked after birds, including an aviary of finches and budgies and their young, as well as budgies as 1:1 pets in the home. We've been lucky enough to have our cavapoo, Ellie, since she was a puppy, so are experienced in puppy training and care. To build on our existing puppy knowledge, Ellie and I both completed puppy training with Dogs Trust, which included basic puppy training, care and dog body language. We understand the importance of ensuring a puppy is supported to safely explore new scenarios and build their confidence and are experienced in facilitating this. We've also adopted senior dogs in the past (aged 13+), so are very comfortable with delivering medication in-line with vet instructions and using mobility aids such as ramps and dog buggies to ensure that our seniors are able to continue exploring during their retirement years. One of our seniors was also deaf, so we have experience with caring for and training deaf dogs. We currently have a cavapoo and conure, so understand what's needed to ensure the safety and happiness of different species in the same household. To ensure the safety and comfort of our own pets, we're unfortunately unable to care for cats. Due to the size of our home, we can only accept small and medium dogs, as we want to ensure any pets staying with us have lots of space and frolicking room! I work from home for four days a week and my partner is home on the day I go into the office. Your pet will never be left lonely while with us and will be treated as a member of the family during their stay. We have an enclosed, secure back garden with three tiers - a patio, grass, and pebbles. Each section can be gated off, so if your dog has issues with steps, we can keep them secure in the patio area only or supervise them/carry them to the grass. Our house has two floors and we have a baby gate on the stairs should a dog have issues with stairs and need to be kept on one floor. Our front garden has a set of stairs down to our front door. If your dog has mobility issues but is happy to be lifted, we will happily give them a boost and carry them up and down as needed. If your dog is comfortable in a car, we will take them out for different walks. We have a cover for our back seats and seatbelt clips, so any dogs travelling with us will do so safely and in-line with legal requirements.
