I don’t even know where to start, I genuinely couldn’t have wished for a more caring and loving person to look after my boy 🥹♥️. He’s a very high energy working cocker and she had him sleeping on the sofa within the first few hours. She took him on so many amazing adventures and he had loads of different experiences that I really doubt he wants to be home! From the first meeting she had a mini interview where she asked me absolutely everything about Pickle. What he likes, what each command means, his favourite toys, treats, you name it. From that moment I knew he was going to be in good hands 🥰 I would take him back to Julie in a heartbeat, I’ve never felt relaxed leaving him with anyone and now finally I feel I can enjoy having time away for the first time since having Pickle ♥️🥒

Absolutely brilliant service. Emma looked after our 2 golden retrievers excellently. They had a wonderful time and I had complete peace of mind leaving them. Emma gave us regular updates and photos which i loved also. We will definitely be booking them in again 😊

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!

About: I’ve grown up caring for dogs, including my own Shih Tzu, so I understand their needs and personalities deeply. I’m gentle, patient, and great with both playful pups and senior dogs. I focus on comfort, trust, and keeping each dog happy, safe, and loved—just like they deserve. I work part-time on weekends from 7 a.m. to 12 p.m., so I’m free most afternoons and weekdays to walk, play, and care for dogs. Spending time with them fits easily into my routine—it’s something I truly enjoy and look forward to every day! I treat every dog as if they were my own. In a pet owner’s home, I follow their routine carefully—feeding, walking, and playtime just as instructed. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved, keeping their space clean and cozy while giving them plenty of attention and affection.

Sophie and her partner provided such wonderful care for our 2 boys one of which was still basically a puppy... better than that they were amazing at putting my mind at ease when it was the first time I haha ever left them. I will definitely be asking them to look after my boys again and Otis is a sweetheart

About: I've looked after dogs most of my childhood. I have experience walking with senior dogs who need a bit more time as well as experience, training and rearing young pups as well. I work from home full time so I will be in all day while your pet is with me, so they will always be safe, and attended to. I have a small garden they can be out in if they would prefer, otherwise they can keep me company indoors as I work away. I will take them on a good walk to the local park on my lunch break to let off some steam.

About: I have taken care of cats and dogs for over 10 years. I have trained and walked two collies regularly so I am used to long walks with energetic pets. I have also pet sat a springer spaniel collie cross which was a delightful experience. I can give your dog or cat they enrichment they require to feel happy and content whether it be a senior pet or a puppy I can do it all. I am currently a university student, so i have certain days in university which i will either not work or will only offer walks and visits. When dogs are in my care, we go by routine. I have either walk dogs two or three times a day depending on their breed and ability. These walks generally last around an hour and a half, but they can be longer or shorter to fit with the dog themselves. Secondly, play is hugely important so I personally with my own dogs at home would use puzzles, play tug of war or practice tricks (sit, roll over, sit pretty etc). As for cats, they are much more independent. For my own cat (who has now passed on at 19!!), we would have a feeding schedule along with the daily treat alarm clock, which was followed by her going outside until she wanted to come back in.

This was our second time leaving our dog with Eva and I honestly can't fault her, I wouldn't leave him with anyone else now! Eva kept us updated daily with my dogs mood and daily activities, it was apparent how well cared for he was by her and didn't want to come home!

Viral and his wife took amazing care of our family dog. They looked after him like he was their own pet and provided me with lots of updates, pics and videos to put my mind at ease. I was worried about leaving Ralf for our trip as he is like another child to me, but even from the meet and greet prior to the the stay my mind was put at ease

Alla took great care of our poodle, was super flexible and accommodating, and sent me tons of photos and updates on their adventures so I knew he was having a great time while we were on our weekend away. I think he had an even better holiday than we did! I would definitely book with her again anytime we need a dogsitter.

Olena and her son gave Fezziwig the best time while we were away for a long weekend 😊. What we liked about Olena is that she was really keen to know what Fezziwig liked right from the beginning. We received some lovely photos and videos regularly and this was so reassuring while we were abroad. Fezziwig was having the best time and this meant we could too. He was able to enjoy playing with his tennis balls on a walk and Olena ensured she gave that priority as she understood that was important to help him settle. In fact Fezziwig settled right away and when we collected him at the end he was calm, happy and had been well loved. We fully recommend Olena as a dog sitter as she really cares for dogs and they are happy around her. Thanks Olena and your family…until the next time. 😊

About: Hi, I’m Abbie! I work from home full-time and love having dogs around for company. I’ve got experience helping out with my sister’s dog walking and boarding business, and now I’m opening up my own home to some furry guests🥰 I have a lovely cocker spaniel named Olive who loves making new friends. We go on regular walks and enjoy a calm, cosy home environment. If you're looking for a safe, loving place for your pup to stay, Olive and I would be happy to welcome them in! I work from home and walk in the morning before work at 9am and after work at 5. I have a lovely and secure garden to let them out regularly during the day. I am free most weekends and during the week. I have a fenced garden. Doggies can sleep in a crate if that is their usual routine or in the kitchen in their bed. Everyday walks and play time.
