“Rebecca was fantastic and bruno really enjoyed his stay with her family and making friends with her dog Douglas. Rebecca kept myself and my partner updated during bruno's stay with plenty of pictures and messages to re assure us he was safe and loving his life. Bruno will definitely be returning ☺️”
“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.”
“Thank you so much for having Marnie❤️ Marnie is 7 month old puppy who can sometimes be a handful and Jessica has looked after her so so well and we are really happy and will definitely book in with her again”
“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 😊”
“Anna took care of Koko for a week, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. She kept us up to date throughout, sending daily videos and pictures that really put our minds at ease. It was clear Koko was well looked after and happy in her care. We would highly recommend Anna to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful pet sitter.”
“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 ❤️😂”
“She's a wonderful person and a great dog sitter. Ellie loved her time with her, playing and napping. I would highly recommend her. If I need another dog sitter I'll be using her.”
“Brianna looked after our dog, Penny, brilliantly and we couldn’t be happier with the care she provided. She kept us updated every day with messages and lovely photos, which really put our minds at ease while we were away. Penny was clearly very happy and well cared for. We would highly recommend Brianna to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and attentive to look after their pet.”
“Charlotte took Tilly, our 18 month old Cockapoo, for an 8 night stay for our first holiday apart. She's made a strong bond and left us completely at ease despite some trepidation with leaving her for a week. Charlotte has been very accommodating in helping maintain Tilly's routine and she's just seemed right at home to the point whereby I can see they will miss each other after the visit. We were kept informed daily with updates, photos which helped no end and allowed us to relax on Holiday. She even came back bathed and fluffy for her return home. I would recommend anyone looking for a capable, trustworthy and very loving companion for your dog. Will hope to use Charlotte for any future sitting needs.”
“Another great stay for Arthur! Being at Emma’s is like a home from home for him! He is looked after so well at Emma’s. We love getting all the photos of him out on his walks and in the house showing us he is one happy dog!”
“We booked Lola in with Chrysi for 3 days, before she stayed over Chrysi invited us to her home for a chance to meet and for her to meet Lola. When we dropped Lola off to stay, she ran in and made herself comfortable straight away. Chrysi provided us with pictures and videos throughout Lola’s stay. We will definitely use Chrysi again and we know Lola would happily stay again too!”
“Jessica is a lovely, warm and friendly person and has an obvious love and enthusiam for dogs. Our dog Dexter had an overnight stay with Jessica when we visited Gateshead and he had a wonderful time, going for walks and making friends with Jessica's own dog. We had great communication before and during Dexter's stay. As we left Dexter was virtually hugging Jessica goodbye! I'm only sorry we live so far away as I would use Jessica on a regular basis and will do so if we visit the area again, I can't recommend her highly enough.”
“Erin and Alex were fantastic! Could not rate them highly enough. Sent me so many lovely photos, videos and messaging updates throughout Floyd's stay whilst we were on holiday. I felt like they did a brilliant job looking after Floyd and he seemed to have the best time! Will definitely be looking to book them in the future 😊”
“Absolutely brilliant !! Really sweet and caring personality and Mochi my Maltipoo enjoy the stay with her family. Mochi gets lots tummy rubs and cuddles from her girls too which Mochi absolutely loves. I also get lots pictures of Mochi everyday from her.”
“Yvonne and David are so lovely, we felt from the meet & greet that our boys would be well looked after, and they definitely were! They dealt with Kenny's anxiety and Geoff's general grumpiness so well, we weren't ever worried about them. We also got great pics and videos, absolutely going to rebook.”
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.
About: I live with my my husband Simon and our nine year old Schnoodle (we think) called Charlie. We have had dogs all our lives as well as caring for friends and family dogs for many years. We love to go walking and our house is ideally placed, with many beautiful walks on our doorstep. We have experience of diabetes, Addison's disease etc., if needed, but if all your dog wants is cuddles we are happy to oblige. Whatever your dog needs, we will ensure they have an amazing holiday with us. We are both retired in our early sixties, so we can guarantee your pooch will have company all day, if required to fit in with your pets needs. We have an enclosed garden and love to go walking. Our house is on the edge of the countryside with many beautiful walks on our doorstep.
“Kim was absolutely brilliant with Missy, very professional but also friendly and caring. Missy is usually anxious in unfamiliar places, but she was settled and relaxed all the time she was at Kim's and got on well with her dogs. I got lots of updates and photos, which was reassuring and would have no hesitation in recommending Kim and have already booked her for a future boarding.”

Nothing was a problem to Lyudmila she made me so comfortable for Dizzie to stay at her lovely home . Also it’s home to home for Dizzie . I will be booking again for Dizzie at Lyudmila .”

Julie was amazing with Joey. She made him feel right at home, was so loving and caring, and kept me updated with lots of photos throughout his stay. She really took the time to understand his needs and adapted to him effortlessly. It was clear how much she cared for him, and I wouldn’t hesitate to leave Joey with Julie again. Highly recommend!
Archie stayed for a, week with Laura and her husband. I was very worried about leaving him as we hadn't had time for a meet and greet but I didn't need to worry. He seemed to have settled in great also being with other dogs helped. I had lots of photos during the week would recommend using them again. Thank you for looking after my fur baby. ❤️❤️
Gus really enjoyed his time with Adam I can’t believe how well settled they made him. I know how demanding he can be and have never seen him so happy and calm when I returned from holiday. I would definitely recommend using Adam. He kept us informed on how Gus was doing with photos and messages to help keep our piece of mind.
Perfect as always! Arthur has had a great time and made a doggy friend who he is missing already! Michaela is great with his special diet and making sure he is walked first thing when it is this hot. She is great with giving updates, photos and making sure he is really well taken care of.
Rachel was outstanding from start to Finish! I can’t recommend her enough. The best in the business. She will Be the only person we leave our dog with when it’s needed. I thank Rachel so much as she constantly put us at ease, sent pictures and lots of messages. Thank you
Gabe and his partner were absolutely fantastic! They looked after my affectionate Labrador over the weekend with care, fun, and all the attention he could wish for. They even took him to a farmers' market and the local park. Daily pictures and updates kept my mind at ease and filled me with joy that he received so much attention and cuddles. Highly recommended sitters! Will be booking them again without hesitation.
