“Bailey had the best time ever with Laura and her partner, he settled very well in their lovely home. They kept us updated and sent us pictures. Bailey has a rare pancreatic condition and required medications with his meals. Laura and her partner was very reliable and attentive to Bailey’s needs. They took him out for generous amounts of walks and played with him. Bailey has come home very happy and content, it was obvious he missed his sitters very much. I would highly recommend Laura and her partner for the boarding service!”
“Maria and her husband did an amazing job looking after Molly. Molly was made to feel at home and got multiple walks. Updates very plentiful throughout the day and I would highly recommend Maria for pet sitting!”
“Amazing boarding with Kim, Bailey had a great time and Kim took such amazing care of her. Plenty of updates whilst we were away and Bailey can’t wait for her next visit with her favourite people! Thanks again Kim! ⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Kevin took care of Jack while away from a week had regular updates with photos and videos. Jack looked very happy and settled in every update. Kevin and his family really did look after our Jack and made him comfortable with having a normal family environment. Thank you again”
“Chanise had my puppy Oreo for 3 days and Oreo absolutely loved every minute of being with her. Chanise went above and beyond to make sure Oreo was happy and comfortable being in a different environment, I really didn’t think he would want to leave! Chanise is such a lovely, caring woman. I would definitely ask her to look after Oreo again as she was so good with him. Highly recommend 🥰🤍”
“Gabriella looked after our little Pluto and couldnt of asked for a better dog sitter. Made sure he was well looked after and kept us updated constantly. If you are looking for someone to look after your puppy/dog I’d definitely recommend Gabriella. I will be using her again!”
“Sayo did an amazing job looking after my two dogs whilst we were away for a week. My older dog is very easy to deal with but the younger one can be extremely shy and not the easiest to handle. Sayo was so laid back about any issues she may have and made me feel so at ease whilst away! Would highly recommend and would definitely use him again!!”
“Bonnie came home relaxed and happy after her first stay with Charlotte. We are very pleased to have found somewhere we can leave her and know she is happy and safe. We will be back.”
“Buckley had the most wonderful stay with Siu Yung and was treated like one of the family, with so much kindness and care. Even though the booking was very last minute, Siu Yung was incredibly accommodating, kept us updated throughout, and kindly waited up late for our return. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her—Buckley is already looking forward to his next visit.”
“This was the 1st time of me leaving Reggie with anyone, Nicole made me very welcome and at ease before me leaving him with her for the weekend, she sent pictures and kept me updated he loved it I am definitely using her again .”
“We couldn't be happier with the care that Basil Boris provided for our dogs, Hugo and Peppa! From the moment we met, it was clear that they genuinely love animals. Peppa is 15 years old and requires a little extra attention like eye drops and cleaning and she was perfectly looked after. It really put our minds at ease knowing she was in such capable hands. Meanwhile, Hugo had a blast with their two other dogs and came home happy and well exercised. We received regular updates and pictures throughout the stay, which made us feel completely connected to our pets while we were away. We’re so grateful to have found such a reliable and caring sitter for our fur babies. We’ll definitely be booking them again in the future and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a thoughtful and trustworthy dog sitter. Thank you, Basil Boris, for taking such wonderful care of Hugo and Peppa!”

She needed very little direction or guidance, and when I first met her she asked very good questions which showed her knowledge and care for dogs. She was extremely patient and understanding. I would 100% recommend her services!”
About: I’ve always had a love for dogs and plenty of hands-on experience caring for them. A few years ago, I spent a couple of years dog sitting, looking after dogs of different breeds, sizes, and personalities, which helped me build confidence and understanding in their individual needs. Alongside this, I’ve had family dogs for over 12 years, so caring for dogs has always been a big part of my everyday life. From feeding routines and walks to playtime, companionship, and understanding their behaviour, I’m experienced in providing a safe, loving, and reliable environment for every dog in my care. At Lisa’s Dog Care, I treat every dog as if they were my own, making sure they feel comfortable, happy, and truly at home. Lisa’s Dog Care is my full-time commitment, allowing me to provide dedicated, hands-on care throughout the entire day. My routine is fully centred around the dogs in my care, ensuring they receive constant attention, supervision, and companionship. Each day begins with morning routines including feeding, walks, and playtime, setting a calm and happy tone. Throughout the day, I am always present, providing one-to-one attention, regular exercise, and plenty of interaction, adapting to each dog’s individual needs and routine. Afternoons and evenings continue with walks, feeding, and relaxation time, making sure every dog feels comfortable and settled. For overnight stays, I am on hand at all times to ensure dogs feel safe, secure, and truly at home. As this is my full-time role, dogs are never left unattended, and their wellbeing, happiness, and safety are always my top priority. Your dog’s safety and wellbeing are my top priorities at Lisa’s Dog Care. I provide a secure, fully fenced garden where dogs can play, explore, and enjoy fresh air safely at all times. Inside, dogs are cared for in a calm, home-from-home setting where they can relax and feel comfortable. I carefully manage introductions and interactions to ensure all dogs get along happily. I also have my friendly Chow Chow, BooBooBear, who loves the company of other dogs and helps create a welcoming, social environment for your fur baby. Whether your dog enjoys playtime or prefers a quieter companion, I make sure every dog feels safe, settled, and cared for like part of the family.
“I booked a last minute boarding request with Indy for three days for my large dog. 5 stars doesn’t even cut it! My dog is a rescue and can be nervous at times, but she loved every second. Even though the request was last minute, Indy still accommodated a meet before booking anything, which went well. Layla was so very well looked after and cared for by the family, I had constant updates via text with pictures and videos, she was having the best time. I couldn’t recommend Indy enough, I’ll absolutely be rebooking when the time comes that Layla needs boarding/ dog sitting again”
“I would highly recommend Maria to look after your dog. She is very accommodating and thorough but most importantly, she is kind. I felt comfortable and confident leaving my dog with Maria for a week while we went on holiday and my dog was happy and content when we picked her up.”

“Kate is absolutely wonderful. She was really knowledgeable about early care, and got on so well with my teeny fluff ball. I appreciated the communication updates for timing when we met, and her being available for what was a very last minute booking as I had to go out and couldn't leave the little one unattended. I would highly recommend her! ”
“Hannah recently looked after our cat, Bear, while we were away on holiday, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Hannah was friendly, professional, and incredibly reliable. She went above and beyond during the heatwave by checking in on Bear even when she didn’t need to, which showed just how much she genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. Every day we received updates and lovely photos, which gave us real peace of mind and allowed us to fully relax while we were away. It was clear that Bear was in the safest and most caring hands. Hannah is absolutely wonderful, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter. Thank you so much, Hannah!”
“Moomin was hospitalised 3 days before my holiday and I was very worried about his recovery and/or if he will be stressed with me leaving so soon after his scary experience at the vets, but Isabel has been great at making Moomin feel at ease during my absence and updating me with how he is doing. I am glad to see how relaxed he's been after the sit.”
“Hana is the cat queen for me and for my cats! She looked after my Duman, Lucky, Minnie and Jackie when I was away for 3 days. She shared beautiful photographs with the cats and gave me a daily update. She is very friendly, organised and professional. My all cats were very happy and healthy when I got back home😊”
About: I also have experience caring for cats. Back home, I had cats of my own, so I'm familiar with their daily routines, feeding, grooming, cleaning litter boxes, and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I understand that every cat has a unique personality, and I'll always be patient, gentle, and attentive to their needs.
“Georgina did a wonderful job of looking after our two kitties while we were away over Christmas. She gave us lovely detailed daily updates with photos and gave the kitties loads of cuddles every day! Really recommend Georgina and will definitely ask her to catsit again.”
“Yasmina took brilliant care of our miniature yorkie puppy. She sent detailed and reassuring information to us after each visit. We cannot thank her enough for looking after our baby boy so well. We will definitely use Yasmina’s services again in the near future.?”
“Was first time leaving Pascal, April has kept us updated with photos as well. Pascal has been well looked after would definitely use April again many thanks for looking after our kitty x x”

Whether your cat loves to play, enjoys company, or simply needs someone reliable to check in, I’ll make sure they’re well cared for.

“I genuinely can’t thank Chanise and Jake enough for how amazing they were with Bella. ❤️ My booking was incredibly last minute, but they were so kind and accommodating and made arrangements to be available for her. Bella has never been away from me unless she’s been with family, so I was honestly so, so nervous leaving her. I think anyone who has a dog will understand just how difficult it can be to leave your fur baby with someone new, especially for the first time. 🥹 From the moment I spoke with Chanise for the first time to picking up Bella, the communication was absolutely amazing. The regular updates, pictures and messages throughout the day meant more to me than they probably realise. Seeing Bella looking happy, comfortable and settled instantly put my mind at ease. Being sent pictures of her was definitely the highlight of my day because, if I’m honest, I’d been worrying about her constantly! ❤️ Bella made herself right at home almost immediately, and I truly believe that’s because of how gentle, loving and welcoming Chanise and Jake were with her. They made her feel so comfortable and treated her as though she was one of their own. They were also so flexible and happy to make their home feel like Bella’s home too, keeping things as familiar as possible for her — even letting her enjoy her favourite spot on the sofa! 🐶🥰 This was our first time with them, but I can say with complete confidence that it definitely won’t be our last. I left Bella with them feeling nervous, but I picked her up feeling so grateful and reassured knowing she had been so well cared for. Bella is home now, curled up fast asleep in my lap, and I think that says absolutely everything about the day she’s had. 🥹❤️ A tired and happy dog is the best review of all! Thank you both so much for taking such wonderful care of my girl and for giving me the reassurance I needed. It’s such a relief to find people you can genuinely trust with someone who means so much to you. 100% recommend Chanise and Jake to anyone looking for loving, reliable and genuinely caring doggy care. Bella has definitely found her second home! ❤️🐾”
“We honestly couldn’t be happier with the care Beau received. She was absolutely fantastic with her and it gave us complete peace of mind knowing she was in such safe, loving hands. Beau was clearly happy and well looked after. We’ll definitely be using her every week now – highly recommend! x”
“Leonor is fantastic! Benji absolutely adores her and always enjoys spending time with her. She keep us consistently updated through photos and texts. We’ve booked with Leonor multiple times and will happily continue booking with her.”
“Luna spent the day with Diana and she had a fantastic stay. I picked Luna up happy she was well exercised and I was kept up to date with lots of pictures throughout the day and she made another furry friend. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for dog sitting.”
“Milos second time with Nicole & he had a really good time. Milo was well looked after and has seemed to have warmed up to Nicole and her family. Nicole kept to his routine and let me know how he was doing during the day.”
“Kim has been absolutely amazing with my dog, Lulu. This was the 4th time she’s cared for her, and as always, she went above and beyond! Kim kept me updated throughout the day with adorable photos and videos, which always gives me such peace of mind. She even did some crafting with Lulu – how thoughtful and creative is that? It’s clear that she genuinely loves and cares for Lulu like her own. I couldn’t ask for a better sitter. Thank you, Kim, for being so wonderful! Highly recommend her to anyone looking for top-notch care for their furry friends. 🐾”
“Lucy was great with our 6 month old Vizsla puppy Scout. She kept us updated and returned to us with a very happy chilled out pup, we definitely recommend Lucy and we’ll for sure use her for day care again :)”
“Thiv was amazing. Friendly, flexible and very lovely! ☺️ Great communication and Ellie clearly had the best time with her. Will definitely book again in the future - thanks so much for taking such great care of Ellie!”
“Davina was a great dog sitter, I highly recommend! She was friendly and had great communication throughout the booking. My dog seemed to be very happy and loved playing with Davina’s dog too. I will definitely be rebooking in the future.”

Although Max was booked in for 30 min walks Kimberly made an effort to make sure these were varied and interesting. She went above and beyond in taking him to the beach and dog fields. He was a very happy and tired dog ! Will definitely use again”

Alongside this, I’ve had family dogs for over 12 years, so caring for dogs has always been a big part of my everyday life. From feeding routines and walks to playtime, companionship, and understanding their behaviour, I’m experienced in providing a safe, loving, and reliable environment for every dog in my care. At Lisa’s Dog Care, I treat every dog as if they were my own, making sure they feel comfortable, happy, and truly at home. Lisa’s Dog Care is my full-time commitment, allowing me to provide dedicated, hands-on care throughout the entire day. My routine is fully centred around the dogs in my care, ensuring they receive constant attention, supervision, and companionship. Each day begins with morning routines including feeding, walks, and playtime, setting a calm and happy tone. Throughout the day, I am always present, providing one-to-one attention, regular exercise, and plenty of interaction, adapting to each dog’s individual needs and routine. Afternoons and evenings continue with walks, feeding, and relaxation time, making sure every dog feels comfortable and settled. For overnight stays, I am on hand at all times to ensure dogs feel safe, secure, and truly at home. As this is my full-time role, dogs are never left unattended, and their wellbeing, happiness, and safety are always my top priority. Your dog’s safety and wellbeing are my top priorities at Lisa’s Dog Care. I provide a secure, fully fenced garden where dogs can play, explore, and enjoy fresh air safely at all times. Inside, dogs are cared for in a calm, home-from-home setting where they can relax and feel comfortable. I carefully manage introductions and interactions to ensure all dogs get along happily.

Whether your dog enjoys playtime or prefers a quieter companion, I make sure every dog feels safe, settled, and cared for like part of the family.

About: I grew up with dogs, I beleieve their first language is love. They can feel it. I've been told my house is the 'Dog Rehab' 🫡 They always leave feeling better than when they came. I work in media from home,i need walks as much as my dog because I beleieve it's essential to take a break from the screen and refresh my mind. Pets get alot of love and frequently rewarded in my home for just being beautiful animals. I have lots of treats. They love to be around me, but I do give them freedom to explore the home. Nothing dangerous around the flat as it's a pretty minimalistic w comfy rugs in the living room and dog beds in my room.
About: I’ve grown up with pets my whole life and have experience caring for both dogs and cats. I previously owned a dog and currently help care for my family’s cat, including feeding, cleaning, playing and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I also regularly pet sit for my sister, who has two cats and a dog, so I’m confident looking after multiple pets with different personalities and needs. I genuinely love animals and understand how important it is for owners to know their pets are safe, happy and receiving plenty of attention while they’re away. I work remotely with a flexible schedule, which allows me to fit pet care around my day and provide reliable visits, walks and companionship when needed. I am available during weekdays, evenings and most weekends. Whether your pet needs feeding, playtime, exercise or simply some company while you’re away, I can provide attentive care and regular updates for peace of mind. I believe pets are happiest and most comfortable in familiar surroundings, so I am particularly happy to care for pets in their own homes where they can maintain their normal routine. I take the time to understand each pet’s individual needs, feeding schedules and preferences, and I always follow owners’ instructions carefully. I am respectful of clients’ homes, prioritise safety at all times and provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well looked after while you’re away.

“Bailey had the best time ever with Laura and her partner, he settled very well in their lovely home. They kept us updated and sent us pictures. Bailey has a rare pancreatic condition and required medications with his meals. Laura and her partner was very reliable and attentive to Bailey’s needs. They took him out for generous amounts of walks and played with him. Bailey has come home very happy and content, it was obvious he missed his sitters very much. I would highly recommend Laura and her partner for the boarding service!”
“Maria and her husband did an amazing job looking after Molly. Molly was made to feel at home and got multiple walks. Updates very plentiful throughout the day and I would highly recommend Maria for pet sitting!”
“Amazing boarding with Kim, Bailey had a great time and Kim took such amazing care of her. Plenty of updates whilst we were away and Bailey can’t wait for her next visit with her favourite people! Thanks again Kim! ⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Gabriella looked after our little Pluto and couldnt of asked for a better dog sitter. Made sure he was well looked after and kept us updated constantly. If you are looking for someone to look after your puppy/dog I’d definitely recommend Gabriella. I will be using her again!”
“Buckley had the most wonderful stay with Siu Yung and was treated like one of the family, with so much kindness and care. Even though the booking was very last minute, Siu Yung was incredibly accommodating, kept us updated throughout, and kindly waited up late for our return. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her—Buckley is already looking forward to his next visit.”
“This was the 1st time of me leaving Reggie with anyone, Nicole made me very welcome and at ease before me leaving him with her for the weekend, she sent pictures and kept me updated he loved it I am definitely using her again .”
“What can I say from start to finish Bilqees has been absolutely amazing, quick and friendly in communication and from the beginning I felt reassured that Ziggy was going to stay in a happy and welcome family home. Upon arrival Ziggy was a bit feisty with the other dogs but Bilqees and her husband reassured me she’d be fine and she was settled in no time and that same evening I already received my first update included a few pics. Throughout our vacation Bilqees kept us posted with lots of great pictures and at the end when I arrived to pick her up I was met with a very happy and content dog. Thank you so much Bilqees for giving Ziggy such a great week, any dog is lucky to stay with you and your family.”
“An amazing lady who genuinely adores dogs and treats them like they were her own. Our Buck had an amazing four days. This was our first time using Rover and finding Leonore was a breath of fresh air- we had no worries and she made us feel at ease with the photos and videos . Will definitely be using Leonore again. 100% recommend”

About: I’ve grown up with large dogs my entire life. Growing up we had a German shepherd names Sabre and then a husky named Eski. Throughout our entire family we’ve always had big dogs, including an XL bully & Great Dane mastiff cross. I’m confident with all types and dogs and have an unbelievable amount of love for them! I go into the office once or twice a week so have most of the week to be at home looking after and playing with dogs. I’m an avid walker so enjoy taking the dogs out in the countryside I have a fenced garden with some good space and dogs living either side of me. I love a cuddle and playtime with all dogs.

About: My partner Scott and I love dogs and have our own Czech Shepherd, who is friendly, well trained and loves to meet other dogs. We have grown up with lots of different dogs and we can look after dogs of any size or age comfortably! I work from home for most of the week and this is flexible so I can often cater for whenever dog care is needed. I can walk any dog we are looking after in the morning and the afternoon so that they can have lots of fun and also some down time in between! I have a large fenced garden so any dogs can run around and play. I have my own dog so I am used to making sure that a dog has everything it needs.
“I booked a last minute boarding request with Indy for three days for my large dog. 5 stars doesn’t even cut it! My dog is a rescue and can be nervous at times, but she loved every second. Even though the request was last minute, Indy still accommodated a meet before booking anything, which went well. Layla was so very well looked after and cared for by the family, I had constant updates via text with pictures and videos, she was having the best time. I couldn’t recommend Indy enough, I’ll absolutely be rebooking when the time comes that Layla needs boarding/ dog sitting again”
“Daniela cared for my dog and cat as if they were her own. She is extremely professional, responsible, and caring. Daniela provides very personalized care, She accommodate to all my request, such as special dietary and regular brushing. She is very easy to reach, I got daily photos to keep me updated during the week away. We feel incredibly fortunate that we can leave my dog and cat together, knowing they will be cared for and looked after with so much love and attention. 100% recommended! THANK YOU”
About: I’ve had dogs all my life, 2 staffies (one who didn’t get on with other dogs) a springer and a jack/staffie cross. They all had their own personalities but all needed a lot of walks and I miss that the most, taking them out for a long walk in rain, hail or shine and getting home and watching them curl up and drift off always makes me happy. I work full time but wfh home on a Monday and Friday so I only offer long weekends, unless they can have a dog walker for the days I’m not at home. That way I know I can take them out for a walk in the morning and then again after work. I have a reasonably large fenced garden. I don’t allow dogs upstairs or on the furniture. You’re dog will get lots of cuddles, walks and playtime if they like those things, I know they don’t all do.
