“Louise was very friendly and helpful and Tess was looked after very well and she was happy and content when we collected her. Louise kept us updated with photos and information regularly. Would definitely use again.”

“Minnie had a wonderful time with Kay. We felt at ease instantly, as Kay was so thorough when asking about Minnie’s needs and showed her lots of love from the get go. She has an amazing garden which Minnie wasted no time in enjoying! Kay sent lots of updates with photos and videos to put our mind at ease too which was fab. We would recommend to anyone who would like a kind, loving home away from home for their pup, we will certainly be using Kay again.”

“I was in need of a dog sitter and needed to know they were safe and happy during all the chaos of a house move! Claire invited us to meet beforehand and I knew immediately the dogs would be in good hands. She is attentive and understanding of the dogs and accommodating and responsive for her clients. Lovely to receive photos of happy pups at the beach. The dogs become part of the family and it was lovely to see how much they'd enjoyed their stay. Would absolutely recommend!”

About: Hi, I’m Dave. I’ve had dogs all my life and have experience caring for both large and small breeds with different personalities and energy levels. At home we currently have Scout, our friendly 10-month-old German Shepherd and Golden Retriever cross, so your dog would have a sociable companion during their stay. We also have an older cat who sleeps upstairs out of the way. Our home is family-friendly, so any dog staying with us would need to be comfortable around secondary school-aged children. I understand how important it is for dogs to feel safe, relaxed, and part of the family while their owners are away. Your dog will receive plenty of attention, companionship, exercise, and a caring home environment during their stay. There is always someone home for company.I work full time night shift so will be in with your pet through the day whilst my wife works day shift so is in through the night plus our 2 sons who are always about. We have a fully fenced and secure garden where the dogs can safely play and relax. Scout loves digging up the garden, so part of it is sectioned off — if your dog is a digger too, don’t worry, ours is as well lol. Scout gets three walks a day along with plenty of playtime and attention from the family in between, and your pet would be treated as part of the family too.
“I was let down and about to go away for a month so this booking was very last minute. I was very anxious. However Chloe appeared calm, poised, asked very pertinent questions and even had a notebook with her. I was very impressed. Rusty was very happy to be stroked by Chloe but reluctant to go with her in the car. Chloe and her partner managed the situation perfectly. After a few days I was getting news of Rusty via Whatsapp including little videos . He'd clearly settled in well and was enjoying his time. I had total confidence in them both that Rusty was happy and well cared for. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Chloe to any other dog owner needing such accommodation for their dog.”

“I can’t recommend Gheorghe highly enough! We have 2 very nervous dogs and they took to Gheorghe and his partner immediately. We had lots of communication and photos during our trip, meaning we could relax knowing that the dogs were happy and being well looked after. I hope Gheorghe will be able to help with the dogs again in the future.”

First time Kay has minded Stanley. Never seen him so happy after being left with someone he didn't know. Lots of photos of Stanley which was brilliant, during his stay. Lovely big garden and a very welcoming home. Already booked with Kay again. Would hugely recommend.

So before we met kay we were really unsure about leaving our boy reggie for a week while we went on a family holiday. Myself and my mrs and reggie went to meet kay and her partner at her home and straight from the start she put us at ease.. our reggie loved being around kay instantly and that was lovely to see. While on holiday kay has sent us daily updates and that was lovely as we could see he was very loved and cared for. I would recommend kay to anyone and we will definitely be using her again to care for our reggie. What a lovely family.

Amazing service. My sighthounds were overly excited at first but sharp settled. They loved it. If they could speak I'm sure they would say it was a pawsitively experience. Great communication and very friendly. Dogs loved the walks and attention they received. Would highly recommend. Thank you.
