“Irina and her family took care of our Jack Russel puppy, Mooshdy over the weekend. Irina was amazing, kept us up to date with pictures and videos. Moosh had a great stay!”

“Dongmei and Thomas took care of Ovie for three nights, and I genuinely could not have asked for a better experience. From the very beginning, they were incredibly willing and keen to understand everything about Ovie to ensure he was cared for exactly as he needed. During our meet and greet, they asked thoughtful, detailed questions and really took the time to get to know him. They also showed me the beautiful park next to their apartment and their lovely, spacious home, including a large deck which Ovi clearly enjoyed. Throughout his stay, they kept me completely at ease by sending multiple photos and updates each day. Ovie typically takes a little time to feel comfortable with new people, but it was clear from both the pictures and his behaviour when I picked him up that he was very happy and relaxed around them. They were incredibly accommodating, managed his high energy levels very well, and truly treated him as if he were their own. They even bought treats for him and played games to keep him engaged and stimulated. I would not hesitate for a second to book with Dongmei and Thomas again. Highly recommended.”

“Nelefiaa has effectively looked after Champ what’s four weekends in a row! I had a weekend courses back to back and had zero worries leaving Champ with her! Good and clear comms, how much she cares for dogs is extremely clear. I’m really grateful to her - definitely helped me focus on my course because of her wonderful care towards Champ”


“Alessia was really quick and clear in her correspondence. Asked all the questions I’d expect her to ask to make sure she knew Astras likes, dislikes and needs. Very friendly and accommodating, she explained how her home would be Astra’s home for the night. Alessia was also very much tuned in to the extreme hot weather, and made sure Astra was exercised early in the morning and, temperatures permitting, again in the evening. She messaged through Astras stay to let me know how she was. I could tell she had a great time given all the licks Astra gave Alessia when it was time to come home : ) Wouldn’t hesitate to have Astra will with Alessia for a sleepover again.”


“Larissa was so good with Sammy, sent me lots of photos and kept me up to date on everything. Sammy loved the attention and the beautiful garden they have. A perfect match.”

“Thank you again Eleanor for looking after Clover so well. You kept me updated and sent some wonderful pics which just showed how much of a great time Clover was having.”

“Susan was Very patient and caring towards my dog who is nervous in new homes and takes a while to settle. Her dog Dolly is very friendly and sweet too”


“Ashleigh was a dream sitter for Finchy's first overnighter. Very communicative and attentive while I was away on a stag do. Kept him comfy and occupied all day and night. You can see how much Ashleigh loves dogs and enjoys the responsibility. Very happy to hear Finchy got on so well with little Lexi as well. We'll be back soon, no doubt. Thank you!”

“Nicola was so great looking after Lola! We felt very comfortable leaving her overnight, she was really flexible and sent us lots of photos/updates on how Lola was getting on. Would definitely use her again!”

“Isil was amazing. She was super attentive and friendly to Lily who is very energetic! Lily had such a lovely time and I will definitely be using them again. Really lovely house aswell. Clean and tidy with a nice garden for Lily to play.”

“Missy's stayed with Pauline a number of times and she always loves it! The communication is great, and Missy always leaves as a happy dog and looks forward to going back!”

“Bella stayed with Eliane for a week, I was updated daily with how Bella was and photos and videos I didn't need to worry at all. Bella came home happy content and well looked after. Elaine was very kind friendly and professional I would recommend to anyone. I can't thank you enough for looking after Bella and many more times in the future. Xxxxxxx”

“Joshua looked after our dog Mew yesterday and we couldn’t have been happier with the experience. He kept us updated throughout the evening with plenty of pictures and videos, which was really reassuring and lovely to see. Mew looked so happy and clearly had a great time. His dog Ovie is such a sweetie - so calm, friendly, and well behaved. He was a great companion for Mew to play with and learn from. I would highly recommend Joshua to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter, and we will definitely be booking with him again in the future!”

“Just wanted to say a massive thank you for looking after Champ last weekend, and even Monday too! I could tell he had the best time, I loved the updates and he came back so calm and happy. She just gets his funny little personality and that means everything. Really appreciate how wonderful you were with him and I'm already looking forward to booking again!”

“Fraser thankfully accepted a last minute boarding booking for my dog Cleo and was absolutely great with her. Sent regular pictures and updates and understood all her needs and reactivities. I picked up a very happy pup. Would definitely book with him again.”

“Jenny was amazing. We relocated from Europe and she took delivery of Shadow 2 days before I could get to the UK. She cuddled, loved and photographed her for me to help ease my stress! Shadow loved being with the other dogs and I was rather worried she wouldn't want to leave she was having such a great time! I'm more than happy and would recommend Jenny to anyone!!”

“I can highly recommend Barbara, Mario and Coco! They were incredible at communication and sent a lot of photos/videos of Charlie while we were away. They went to the beach, the park and the dogs had lot of playtime together. I was very nervous leaving Charlie with strangers for the first time but they made the whole process super easy. Charlie was a very happy dog when we picked him up. We will definitely use them again ??”

Some might call me a “nervous dog mum”, but Isil & Ayhan put me at ease immediately during our meet and greet. They were so welcoming and calm that my dog didn’t want to leave! They are incredibly professional, thorough, and knowledgeable. They sent plenty of updates and were always quick to respond. I will definitely be using them again and couldn’t recommend them more highly if you’re looking for a dog sitter. 5++ stars!

Kamala took wonderful care of Uma and made the whole experience completely stress-free. We arranged a meet and greet beforehand, which helped Uma settle in nicely, and the pick-up and drop-off went very smoothly. She sent lots of photos and updates every day, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. I could tell Uma was happy and well looked after. I would absolutely book with Kamala again and highly recommend her to anyone :)

Mayra took fantastic care of my corgi while I was travelling. She was very communciative and sent many updates and photos of how he was doing, and he had a great time with her two pugs, too. Would highly recommend for anyone looking for boarding - thanks again, Mayra!

Charley was so great with my Merida! We had a lovely meet and greet, she asked lots of good questions, and has a lovely ground floor flat with lots of grass all around. Meri stayed for two nights and I was sent lots of pictures. She was very well looked after! I will definitely be using Charley again! 🐶☺️

Ivan was simply fantastic. This was the first time we had left Cami with anyone and we were slightly nervous but Ivan kept us updated everyday with photos and videos of her amazing walks so we knew she was being well looked after. Each day she got to explore a different park so she never got bored. I couldn't have asked for anyone better to look after Cami and would definitely book with Ivan again.

This was our first time using a service like this so had what I imagine are pretty normal nerves! Larissa eased those immediately and the regular videos and photos were so nice to receive. The house was such a great space for our dog and we will definitely be asking Larissa to mind our doggy again!
