“Hollie provided an excellent service and clearly had a great time with Tommy. I was kept up to date with thier time together with frequent pictures and messages. Hollie left the home perfectly clean and tidy. I came home to a happy and well cared for Tommy. I will definately book Hollie again in the near future.”

“This is the 4th time Sophie has looked after my 3 cats. They are always very relaxed and happy being looked after by her, and they are very picky with people! Sophie sends regular updates while we are away so we can relax happy in the knowledge that all the cats are happy and content. I would have no hesitation in recommending Sophie to anyone. ”

“Courtney came to sit for us at short notice and she was amazing . Our poodle can be very shy however she liked Courtney straight away because of her calm confidence. Courtney took her for several walks throughout the day and sent us some photos to show Super having a relaxing day. I felt very comfortable leaving Super and would definitely contact Courtney again and throughly recommend her. Courtney was kind,,calm and knowledgeable of dogs, she was lovely with us on a busy morning getting ready for our son’s wedding ! Thank you Courtney - Super was very lucky to have you with her for the day .”

“This is the first time I have used Heather for dog sitting and I couldn’t be more impressed. She replies quickly to any messages and came out to meet Daisy before agreeing to the dog sitting. We remained in contact and whilst I was away I received updates on how Daisy settled. An all round excellent experience and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Heather 🐾🐶❤️”

“Saffron was so wonderful. When we came home the house was exactly as we left it, which was a huge relief after having bad experience with previous house sitters not looking after our place. She kept us updated regularly with how she was getting on with Scout, and it was clear that Scout was very comfortable and relaxed with Saffron looking after her. Thank you!”

“Emma is such a star for our family. We feel so at peace when we leave our dogs with her. Even during a heat wave she’s so good to them and keeps us updated with details. Couldn’t be more grateful to have found her!”


About: Me and my partner regularly care for dogs for friends, family and family friends. Experienced with different breeds, routines, feeding, walks and giving them a safe, loving home. I work Monday to Friday 7:30am–4:30pm, but my partner works from home so your dog will have company, care, and attention throughout the day. We have a secure, fenced, good-sized garden for safe outdoor time and play. Your dog will be supervised, well cared for, and treated like part of our family.
“Beverley is a lovely person who really cares about your pets. Our girls one of which is 16 years old were well looked after whilst we were away and we received regular updates. We have another booking with Beverley in June when hopefully the weather will be kinder for her and them.”
About: Dogs, cats and many other animals have been in my life since birth. I love them around me. I am an active Guide Dog foster carer, experienced puppy trainer and a member of the Association of Dog Boarders. I am retired so am flexible and can devote time as needed by your pet and can fall into most routines that might be required by them. We have a secure, fenced garden that your pet can explore and which opens onto a large recreation field that is well used by dog walkers. Sociable dogs with good recall can have good fun there. We also have close access to countryside walks.
About: I adore dogs! I have helped run a dog kennels for over 3 years before I went travelling. I have also worked at a dog and cat animal charity for 1.5 years in Edinburgh, where I'm from. When I was travelling in Australia I also done dog walking as I needed my doggy fix down under as well. I had a family dog who was my absolute soul dog and best friend. I would care for your dog like it was my own furry pal. I currently work in the nhs supporting children with mental health issues. This is a challenging but very rewarding career. I do miss having furry, four legged friends in my life though. My schedule changes each week and I can be working different days each week but my work can be flexible if I'm given enough notice as to what days you need pet cover. We have a fenced garden at the back of the property. We are hoping to get a dog this year which would offer company to your dog, if that's what they like. We will be patient with your dog and keep it's routine as close to being at home as we can.
About: I’ve owned dogs since I was 11 & have owned my own lovely, little dog (Arthur) for 6 years. Arthur loves new friends & loves hosting other dogs for him to play with so I thought it would be great to up my home to boarding. Our home is clean, safe and warm with a small enclosed courtyard garden & enclosed communal space with lots of areas nearby to walk your pup! Arthur is very friendly & loves to play and share his toys with his new friends and would welcome new small dog friends into my home. He likes dogs of all ages & sizes but prefers smaller to medium sized friends. My apartment is a decent space but probably wouldn’t be suitable for large dog breeds. I look forward to hosting your doggo! I currently work part time but I am available most weekends and changeable weekdays for boarding. I wake early & walk my dog, we play during the day and take another walk in the evening. I have plenty of free time at home in the day for wee breaks & I am generally at home all day. I have a fenced garden, hedged communal space and large sub level apartment with a lovely little poochon called Arthur. Arthur loves new friends & would be delighted to host more friends here for him to play with. I am at home most of the time so available to give your dog lots of attention, walks and love. I would treat your dog like I treat Arthur (like a prince!)
“I was happy to leave my dogs with Volodymir. He asked a lot of questions before the stay to ensure he knows my dogs well and what they may need. House was well taken care of at the end of the stay and the dogs were happy. Any serious issues were communicated and discussed.”

“Gabby has just finished her dog sit for my little boy, Rolo. I cannot thank her enough! Gabby sat Rolo for 2 weeks whilst we were out of the country. I was nervous/anxious at first because we’d never left Rolo for so long but there really was no need for me to be! Gabby arrived on time as planned, which gave me plenty of time to go through instructions with her and take Rolo for a short walk. They had previously met when doing a meet and greet. Gabby messaged me every day with updates and photos, which I was really grateful for with this being a new experience for us and Rolo. My heart melted when Gabby sent me a photo of Rolo sleeping on his back, meaning that he was comfortable and trusted her. Gabby followed all instructions and checked with me if anything needed clarifying. She even watered my plants! I would highly recommend Gabby and plan on booking her in the future.”

“Sarah took lots of time to get to know Max and Zoo before we went away. She kept in regular contact so I knew that they were all settled. Max and Zoo were both really settled and had obviously been happy when we were away.”

About: I have experience with many different breeds of dog throughout my life and really enjoy spending quality time to get to know a pets needs. Not only does this involve walks but play time in the house I’m currently working from home full time and have great flexibility in my job to take time out to look after your pet and ensure they have a fun time I have a fenced garden where your pet can run free. I am an owner of a 4 year old Maltese cross who loves the company of other pets
About: Hi there – we’re Katie & Rob! We’re a family of five (plus our friendly Cockapoo, Roxy) and lifelong dog lovers. Both of us grew up with dogs and couldn’t imagine life without one. Our kids absolutely adore animals and are gentle, respectful, and playful around them. We live in an area with fantastic access to dog-friendly walking routes – from wooded trails and open fields to safe, pathed walks – and we make the most of them daily. Roxy enjoys two walks a day and would love the company of a doggy friend. She’s great with other dogs – happy to play or just snuggle up for a snooze. We have a secure garden, and since we work from home, your dog would have regular access to outside space for toilet or sniff breaks throughout the day. We’re always happy to throw a ball or enjoy a chilled-out cuddle session. If your pup enjoys companionship, outdoor adventures, and a home full of love and attention – they’d fit right in here. There’s always someone at home, day and night — Rob works remotely full-time, and Katie works from home two days a week. Your dog will never be short of company, cuddles, or attention! We take our Cockapoo, Roxy, out for walks every morning and afternoon, and we’re more than happy to add a third walk into the routine for any extra-energetic pups. We have a fenced garden so it’s fully safe and enclosed. Roxy has a tracker on and we have a spare we could always add to collars whilst they stay with us.
About: I've cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities since I was a child. Friends, neighbours and family have always relied on me to feed, walk and look after their pets when they’re away. I’m calm, patient and comfortable with everything from energetic puppies to older dogs who prefer slower, relaxed walks and plenty of company. I’m also an avid hiker and love exploring the beautiful area I’m lucky enough to live in. I enjoy getting outside and giving dogs the chance to properly stretch their legs, whether that’s a gentle local walk or a longer adventure for more energetic dogs. I always tailor walks to the individual dog’s needs, age and energy level so they get the right balance of exercise and care. I currently only have to work a few hours in the evenings, which means I’m available during the day and most weekends. I’m reliable, flexible and happy to stick to your dog’s usual routine so they feel comfortable while you’re away. I’m also happy to send updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. I pick and choose my hours as my job is essentially just talking on the phone, so it’s pretty easy to manage care. Playing games, long walks, cuddles on the sofa ect. The area is great for long and short walks and I usually plan a few longer ones a week ahead of time. I'm open to suggestions for interesting places. Owners instructions above all else. I’m able to care for pets in my home as I don't have to leave the house for work. There are so many nice areas nearby for walks which is a part of my routine regardless. I have a decent sized fenced back garden and a lot of room for the animal I'm caring for to play in.

About: I grew up with dogs and absolutely love having them around. I work from home, so I have plenty of time for lunchtime walks, playtime, and giving your dog lots of attention. I’m also very happy to have a snuggle on the sofa in the evenings. I work from home three days a week, which means I have plenty of time and flexibility to give dogs real attention throughout the day. I also have the option to bring a dog into the office, so they’re never left alone for long periods. I love being active and would always make sure they get a morning and lunchtime walk so lots of company. I have a fenced garden in a three bed new build property and I live close to fields and nice walks, which I love to go on.

This is the first time I have used Heather for dog sitting and I couldn’t be more impressed. She replies quickly to any messages and came out to meet Daisy before agreeing to the dog sitting.

Eleanor was a life saver! She stepped in at very late notice. Her communication was prompt, and she was punctual. Most importantly she listened and acted on our instructions for Chip & Gigi, and we came back to two very happy and relaxed dogs who had clearly loved her company. I'd have no hesitation in recommending her or asking her to look after our 2 again. Thank you Eleanor 🙏

I cannot recommend Chloe highly enough - from the first interaction I had with her she has been brilliant. She was great with our dog (and tortoise), took everything in her stride and gave total peace of mind while we were away. Stanley is a shy dog and she spent time getting to know him, and followed all our many instructions on how to have an easy week with him to the letter! Would not hesitate to book Chloe again and recommend her to others.
What wonderful dog sitters. I felt completely relaxed leaving my dogs in their care. I am so dissapointed they are now unavailable as i wouldnt hesitate to use them again. Best wishes as you move forward in your lifes journey. With thanks from Barney and Oscar

Sarah was a great find for Spike, she understood his needs as an elderly and anxious dog very well. We felt happy to leave him in her care- she gave us lots of photos to reassure us that he was doing ok throughout the weekend which we very much appreciated. Would have no qualms about recommending her to others. Thanks Sarah x
