1. Charlee H.

“We’re absolutely delighted with the way Charlee looked after our two Golden Retrievers. It was very reassuring to receive updates and videos showing them settled and contented and I would definitely like Charlee to have them again in the future. Many thanks.”


2. Emily D.

“Emily and her lovely family are very welcoming and have really helped Dexter to settle in their home, also their dog George is very friendly. We are very happy for Dexter to spend more time at Emily’s, he is getting more relaxed, which is reassuring for us as he can be quite anxious at times.”


3. Serena L.

“Jenson had his longest stay with Serena to date and we felt comfortable leaving him in her care. She updated us daily and made sure to meet all of his needs, even though he can be a bit a difficult at times! Unfortunately Jenson needed a trip to the vets during his stay, due to a grass seed in his paw, but Serena and Colin took very good care of him and had no issues taking him to his registered practice. We would 100% recommend!”


4. Mark B.

“We have had buddy for four years and always had our holidays in the UK and have been able to take him with us on holiday. We made the decision this year that we wanted to go abroad. We didn't want to put buddy in kennels and after searching the site settled on Mark. After a meet and greet we felt reassured and booked buddy in. While away Mark was sending us great photos and videos and provided us further reassurance that Buddy was having a great staycation. I would recommend him highly and would use Mark again.”

“Mel has looked after my little cocker spaniel puppy for a while now on an adhoc basis. Lady loves going to Mel’s she always gets lots of love and attention and Doug is brilliant with her.”


6. Vanessa S.

“Vanessa was great! Boo was a little under the weather whilst she was away but Vanessa kept us up to date and her experience and care showed. Boo came back very happy.”


7. Mark F.

“Our Cockerpoo, Charlie, has just spent another week with Mark. As before, he has returned to us a very happy and relaxed boy. Mark also sent us regular updates and pictures while we were away. We will certainly be asking Mark to take care of Charlie when we go away in the future and can’t recommend him highly enough for dog boarding services”


8. Emma W.

“Elmo had a wonderful time with Emma. She was very good with him and understood all his idiosyncrasies! She has a lovely dog friendly home and large garden and took him on great walks. I would highly recommend her.”


9. Marc D.

“I honestly want to leave a bad review but one for reason only so Mark doesn't get too busy and it will be easy for Buddy to return in the future. Mark is a genuine dog lover and Buddy took to him in seconds and it was obvious we had stumbled on a gem. The house is immaculate and very dog friendly. Marks three labs are great play buddies and are very friendly. Mark will be first port of call for any future stays.”

I like the company.


11. Katie G.
“Katie looked after my springer spaniel Smooches for 5 nights & done a fabulous job at keeping us updated with picture & videos. She walked her each day & Smooches looked right at home from the beginning - snuggled on the sofa & playing with toys. House was clean & safe. Would definitely use Katie again. Thank you!”

“We have just picked up our 2 year old labrador, Bilbo, from Susanna after nearly 3 weeks and she has been brilliant with him. He has had a great time playing with her dogs in her wonderful garden and secure, fenced fields. She kept us updated with lots of videos and photos which was very reassuring. We couldn't have found anywhere better. If you are looking for someone to look after your dog then choose Susanna, she is wonderful.”
