“Can highly recommend Mathew. He took excellent care of our dog zeus for a long evening/ night and we come back to a happy dog. Great communication, care which is important. Thank you so much.”

“George could do a very last minute booking. Our dog felt at home the minute we stepped into his home. He took our dog straight out and then played within throughout the day. we received regular updates and was flexible with us arriving back early to collect. Our dog was a happy and tired pooch that eve. Thanks George”

“Louise is a lovely dog sitter. She regularly sends photos and messages me updating how Toffee is doing during the day. Toffee is very excited when he arrives at Louise's. I would thoroughly recommend Louise.”

“Wynne had an amazing first day with Lisa. She sent photos of him out on a walk, with a chew and playing with an interactive toy which he clearly loved. All communication was reassuring and Lisa responded promptly to questions. It was just so easy and she clearly knows a lot about German Shepherds and dog behaviours. We're booking him in with her again and it's a great relief to having such a great service available and a place where Wynne can go for a great day out and have fun.”

“Great communication, Georgia lives in a gated estate - so no risk of nearby roads. My two dogs were always happy when they realised where they were. I felt they were loved and looked after”
“Louise is a star! She looked after our little Labrador puppy at v short notice and really cared for him. He returned happy and exhausted every day. I will definitely be using her again. Miles”

“We left our dog Eddie with Rachael while we visited Amberley. Eddie has a little bit of separation anxiety when we leave him alone. Racheal took great care of him and made sure he was looked after. She sent us videos and pic updates. Recommend highly if you are looking to leave your dog in good hands.”

“Kristen is lovely and always takes good care of Coco, always communicates well and is kind and flexible. Coco always comes home happy and gets on with Kristens 2x doggies too! Will book again. Thank you”

About: I have always had contact with dogs, cats and hamsters ...as a child and as a dog owner for 12 years, previously my family over the years owned Yorkies, Poodles,West Highland Terriers, Germany shepherds. Charlie My Cavashon passed away at the age of 12 years, unexpectedly, his doggy companion Tea Cup Yorkie Daisy misses him desperately, she is 14 years. Charlie was a well behaved dog well traveled too and would go everywhere with me and my partner as does Daisy. Charlie was raised from a puppy and attended training classes, he was devoted to me as I was to him. If a cafe, restaurant,garden centre isn't dog friendly we wouldn't visit. I currently work part time and do some volunteering at the dog trust. I have the time to walk your dog, and if they are good travellers in the car I would take your dog on some lovely walks. My home is their home I have a large fenced safe garden lots of grass, there is a furbaby female teacup yorkie who is 14 years. she would love some company. I don't have a crate.
“Bethan is so lovely and accommodating. Takes time to find out about what your dog is like and their needs. Bear loved his day with her and her dog Darcy , he came home properly tired.. We will definitely be booking again !!”

“Joyce and family took fantastic care of Gina, she took to them instantly on the meet and greet which was very reassuring before her stay started. Joyce gave lots of daily updates and made sure Gina was so well looked after with lots of walks, garden time, cuddles and care given to make her feel as settled and comfortable as possible. Would highly recommended and book again for future trips. Thanks a million.”

“Thanks to Kim and family for taking care of my dog, this was my first time booking a sitter as my plans unexpectedly changed last minute so I was very glad to be accommodated at short notice. Communication was great, and it was clear my dog was well cared for. When I picked him up, he seemed happy, relaxed, and content, which means a lot to me. I’d definitely recommend and would happily book again.”


About: Hi, my name is Alix. I am 23 years old and live in a ground floor flat in matson, Gloucester. I have 2 children, 2&5 years old. I also have 4 cats who have been the first encounter for many dogs which I am happy to do with the owner here if your dog hasn’t been around cats before. I also understand that sometimes dogs and cats aren’t the best of friends so I’m happy to keep them separate if needed. I unfortunately don’t currently drive so you would need to bring your pooch to me. Caring for dogs is a passion for me. I took a break from dog boarding for a while but now on the hunt to make more doggy friends and help out owners! I have been dog boarding for 3 years now and cared for dogs of all ages. My children are used to dogs & my partner has 2 Staffordshire bull terriers at his mum’s who my children see regularly. I also have a jack russel and a jug at my mum’s who I absolutely adore and grew up with. I have my own fenced garden and will definitely take your pooch on walks at our local field! Please get in touch if you’re interested. :).. I’m currently unemployed so always at home. Monday & friday I do school pick up and drop off, however if your dog isn’t very good with being alone I can bring them along or I can find someone else to take my daughter to school on the odd occasion if need be of the 2 days I usually do and I will stay home to ensure your dog isn’t left alone. As long as i have notice i can ensure we’re home all day if need be for your dogs anxiety I am in a ground floor flat, I have my own fenced garden and a field nearby which dogs absolutely love to go and have a run around. I keep dogs on lead for safety. Dogs will be welcome to come on the furniture and sleep in the bed unless the owner requests otherwise.
About: From belly rubs to long walks, your pup gets all the love and care they deserve while you’re away. Living in the countryside with river walks and fields on my doorstep, this allows for easy access for your pups to get the fresh air and exercise they need whether on a lead or free! I also have an enclosed back garden so they can come and go inside/outdoor - as they prefer. I work from home so can be with them throughout the day and won't be left alone for long periods. I work from home so will be with your lovely furballs throughout the day and can be taken out as as when required. I do not have young children. I do not have any other animals loving here currently (as I also travel fairly regularly) but I have lots of visitors! I have an enclosed garden and a very friendly, clean and modern home where dogs and cats are allowed on the furniture and make themselves settled and at home

Main thing I can say is Thank You. George was fantastic with our pup, sent us great photos of her during the days she was with him and Luna was excited to return for her second visit. Would highly recommend if visiting the area and you need someone to care for your pup for those trips they’re just not allowed or for more permanent scheduling for locals
