“George has had an 11/10 weekend thanks to Julie and her lovely family. Gorgeous home and he’s been up to loads of activities and fun walks. He seems depressed to be home, thanks again ❤️😂”
“Jake was an excellent sitter and so kind too. We had to find somewhere for saffy to go whilst my partner was in hospital giving birth. Jake was so good, he listened to instructions, he fed her properly, he was so flexible and he even gave us a gift to congratulate us on the birth of our son. Will definitely be using Jake again. Thanks Jake.”
“Duke had a fab time with Rachel. She kept us updated throughout his stay. Being an older dog with health issues it is always a worry to leave him with someone new but we were out at ease from initial contact. Thank you!”
“Michaela was brilliant. Kept us upto date with how the dogs were doing whilst we were away. Lovely home and space for the dogs. Would recommend to anyone. Thanks again!”
“so happy with the service kyriakos provided! He gave regular updates which really helped as it was buddy’s first time staying somewhere. You can really tell kyriakos has such a strong love for dogs.”
“Dude stayed with Erin for three nights and had a sweet little getaway! She was really kind and sent us tons of photo updates, which made us feel super at ease while we were gone. We always knew what he was up to and that he was in good hands. He also made a new best friend (and possibly a girlfriend) with her dog, which was so cute — they became fast friends and it totally melted our hearts. Overall a great experience, and we’d definitely feel good about leaving Dude with Erin again!”

Couldn’t have asked for more and will definitely be booking in with Katy next time we go away.”
“I booked very last minute because other arrangements for pablo fell through. Yevheniia, was great.

I got regular updates about how he was doing, and I would definitely have Pablo stay at Yevheniia's again”

“We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Emma - our dog, Coffee, stayed with her for the first time this week and seemed to love her straight away. Emma sent plenty of updates photos & videos.
