“Fergie had never had a sleepover at someone else's house before and Catherine sent us photos and clips thought the day that helped us all relax in the knowledge that Fergie was having a great day! We couldn't have wished for better care.”


“Would highly recommend James. He took such good care of our two boys. He kept us updated daily and they obviously had an amazing time with him.”


“Thank you to Sarah and her family for doing such a good job of caring for my (very needy!) dogs. I think they were actually said to be coming home as they enjoyed all the attention and cuddles!! Would recommend Sarah and her family to anyone and will definitely be using again! X”


“Hansen had obviously had a lovely day. He made new friends and had new walks to explore. Caragh’s report was full and helpful. We feel confident and very happy to leave Hansen with Caragh. Many thanks.”


“I was looking for a sitter to watch our little Banksy whilst we went on holiday. I am so so pleased with how well he has been looked after, i received constant updates and pictures of our pooch and i knew he was in safe hands. The whole process from start to finish was amazing and went so smoothly. Chelsea and Andy are fantastic dog sitters and if your pup likes other dogs then this is a little holiday for them aswell. 10/10 review, will be using chelsea and Andy again every single time we go away. Couldn’t have asked for a more amazing family to give Banksy the best week ❤️ From Scarlett and Tom”

About: With over 20 years of experience caring for both dogs and cats, I’ve had the joy of growing up surrounded by pets thanks to my family’s love for animals. This has given me a deep understanding of their needs, behaviors, and unique personalities. I’ve also had hands-on experience caring for pets with special needs, such as a British Shorthair cat with a heart condition, ensuring their comfort, safety, and well-being at all times. What makes me stand out as a pet sitter is my lifelong dedication to animals and my ability to provide attentive, personalized care. I bring not only experience but also empathy and patience, making pets feel secure and loved in my care. I’m comfortable with senior pet care and can handle the specific challenges that come with medical needs or administering medication. My approach prioritizes the happiness and health of every pet as if they were my own. As someone who works from home, I have a highly flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate ample time to caring for pets nearby. My daily routine revolves around creating a calm and loving environment for pets, ensuring they get the attention, care, and companionship they deserve. Whether it’s regular walks, feeding, playtime, or keeping their spaces clean and comfortable, I’m able to seamlessly integrate pet care into my day-to-day activities. My flexibility also means I can accommodate specific needs or schedules, providing reliable and personalized care that fits around the pet and owner’s requirements. When caring for pets in my home, I create a safe, clean, and pet-friendly environment, ensuring they feel comfortable and secure at all times. I carefully remove any hazards, such as toxic plants or small objects, and provide plenty of space for play and relaxation. Their well-being is my top priority, so I maintain a consistent routine for feeding, walks, and playtime, tailored to their specific needs. When looking after pets in their own home, I prioritize respecting the owner’s space while ensuring the pets feel at ease in their familiar surroundings. I follow detailed instructions regarding feeding, exercise, and care routines, while also keeping the home tidy and safe. Building trust with both pets and owners is essential, so I maintain open communication and provide regular updates, giving peace of mind that their furry friends are in caring and responsible hands.

“Amy was brilliant with my 4 month old puppy, she completely took the stress out of an overnight stay. I got sent loads of cute pictures and videos of my pup, which gave me so much reassurance. My pup loved his time with her. Amy was really quick to respond and offered a meet and greet even with a last minute booking. Would highly recommend Amy and I will be using her again in the future for dog boarding!”


About: I’m a passionate dog lover with 2 years of hands-on pet care experience! My friend is a veterinarian who has taught me many useful tips for keeping pets healthy and happy. I know basic training, leash walking, and good outdoor habits. I’ve cared for three wonderful dogs: a 6-year-old Shepherd who visits me every two months for a week, a sweet Teddy who stayed with me for two weeks, and a playful 2-month-old puppy who I’ve showered with love and patience. Every dog I meet becomes my friend—I care for them as if they were my own! I currently have a very flexible schedule since I’m not working full-time, which means I have plenty of time and energy to devote to caring for your pets. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or cuddles, I’ll be there whenever your furry friend needs me. Your pet’s safety and happiness come first. I carefully follow all instructions from pet parents and provide personalized care based on your pet’s unique needs. Whether in my home or yours, I create a safe, clean, and loving environment where pets feel comfortable and loved.

“Our spaniel has had a great home from home holiday with Philip. With regular updates we could see how much fun she was having and that she has been well cared for. We are very happy to recommend Philip as a Sitter and will be using his help again. 😊”


“My dog Jack had such a good time with David and Cocktail the sausage dog. He was really looked after with lots of updates. David is a natural dog whisperer and knew how to work with Jack's natural anxiousness while providing lots of play time and good walks. Would 100% recommend David again to anyone and would definitely book Jack in again for future visits :)”


“Beau was ok with Jack. She seemed to have really enjoyed her time with Jack. I was kept well informed of how Beau was and would not hesitate to use Jack again.”

About: I’ve grown up around animals and have experience caring for pets of all ages, from playful puppies to senior dogs and cats who need a little extra TLC. What sets me apart is my attention to detail, patience, and ability to adapt to each pet’s unique personality and needs. Whether it’s administering medication, following a specific routine, or just providing a calm, comforting presence, I always go the extra mile to make sure your pet feels safe and loved. I’m confident with basic training, including reinforcing good behaviour and helping puppies learn routines. I’m also very comfortable with pets who are a bit shy, nervous, or have special care needs. You can count on me to treat your pet like one of my own—with care, kindness, and lots of cuddles! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine—I’m an early riser and love starting my day with a walk or playtime. I study with a flexible schedule, which means I’m often home and can provide lots of attention, regular potty breaks, and companionship throughout the day. Weekends are just as pet-friendly, with extra time for longer walks, cuddles, or any special routines your pet might need. Whether it’s sticking to a feeding schedule or just making sure they feel loved and secure, I’m happy to fit their needs into my everyday life. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in theirs, safety and trust are always my top priorities. I create a calm, secure environment where pets can feel comfortable and relaxed. I follow any specific routines or instructions closely—whether it’s feeding times, medication, or favourite walking routes. I always keep a close eye on pets, making sure they’re safe, stimulated, and never left alone for too long. In a pet owner's home, I’m respectful of the space and routines, keeping everything clean and as you left it. I also provide regular updates with photos, so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and in good hands while you’re away.
“I am always a little concerned leaving Lola with anyone. As she didn't have a good start in life. I had a very good feeling on our first meeting with Ian and Tracy. I immediately felt at ease as they clearly experienced and comfortable with dogs. They have two dogs of their own and Lola was happy to be with them. I always feel a little nervous and guilty when we go away. So to have someone like Ian and Tracy who reassures you, that she will be well looked after, gives you peace of mind. Excellent communication received, with regular updates and photos, this all helped us. Lola had lots of walks and play time, she was very happy and relaxed when we picked her up. ` I will definitely be using Ian and Tracy again. I highly recommend them for dog boarding. Thank you again.”


“Amazing people! Don & Jen took my 3 dogs for nearly 2 weeks at such short notice. They did an amazing job and I could tell my dogs were taken care of from start to finish. I will definitely use them again for my brood. Thank you!”


“Esmeralda is absolutely brilliant, my dog was well looked after, multiple walks and pictures, loving like at home environment, definitely recommend and would book again, thank you Esmeralda”
