“This is the third time Piper has stayed with John. She now bounds up his front path, and when I picked her up, after a joyful great of me, she ran back and jumped into John's lap! She then sat on his carpet and didn't want to leave when I got up to go. To find a sitter she is so happy to be with is a testament to John's approach to dogs and gives me huge relief. Piper highly recommends, as do I.”

“Monika is a lovely person and very professional! Apollo had a fab time and he made a lot of new friends. Monika always sent me a lot of pictures and she was always very friendly. Apollo came home very happy! I highly recommend Monika! I will definitely rebook with her!”


“We started using dog sitters 9 years ago and for the past 5 years specifically, we've been using Rover; we can say confidently that Louisa is the best we've ever had, and we would never change her! You can clearly see the care, passion, and professionalism that she puts in when she has a pet in her care. And not just from her, but her children as well! She sends daily feedback full of details and fun stories of your pet's day, which are always entertaining with her witty and hilarious commentary. After more than 3 times that Leo has stayed with her, you can see how he's become a member of their family too and has found his holiday home! He has never been more comfortable with any other dog sitter; and thanks to Louisa and her family, Leo has had tons of fun, new experiences that unfortunately we often couldn't give him due to time constrictions. So we've learned new things about our dog too and how he is in those new environments. We've already planned our next few stays for Leo, which we've never felt comfortable to do before as often as now with our peace of mind. Thank you Louisa! 🥰”

“Patricia is absolutely amazing. Rufus loves going to see her, and really feels at home there. Her communication is excellent. We will definitely be regulars!”


“Craig was very accommodating and flexible. I received regular photos and he'd clearly taken time to make Kyle feel comfortable and well exercised”


“Our second stay with Kathy and she was as brilliant as always. Teddy ran straight into her house when we arrived and it was so clear that he was really happy to be there straight away! Kathy gave lovely updates of what they were up to and it was great to see how much he was being cared for. We will absolutely book Kathy again and would definitely recommend her to others.”


“Totally delighted with Jessica’s dog boarding. Isotta was well looked after and we were kept up to date during her stay. No problems whatsoever”


“Catherine took our dog for the weekend within quite short notice when our other plans fell through. He had also recently had an op and she was very flexible and happy to do whatever he needed. We got photos and updates whilst we were away which let us know he was enjoying himself! Thank you!”


“As always, Daisy's stay was ideal. She had great walks, nice snuggles and a friend to play with. Joanna is flexible and she provides me updates with photos. She even bought a new ball for Daisy when hers was missing from last time she stayed over.”


“I wanted to thank you very much for taking care of Bella. When I saw her, I knew she was happy and it was wonderful with you. We will definitely contact with you next time when we go on holiday. Lovely family and home.”


“First time my dog stayed with Giulia and her family. They did an amazing job looking after Hugo, who is a little anxious. Communication was good from the start and I had regular updates with photos. I would highly recommend.”


“I can’t recommend Hyoeun highly enough! My Bruk spent three weeks with her and came back a relaxed, happy boy. He enjoyed lovely daily walks and plenty of belly rubs. I received regular photo updates, and it was clear from the pictures that Bruk felt completely at home and was thoroughly spoiled by Hyoeun and her family. Thank you so much for everything you did for Bruk—we’ll definitely see you again soon! xx”


“Took very good care of both pups. Lovely location and calm and comfy spot for any pup when away from home.”


“My dog enjoyed staying with Emma so much that he refused to leave. That's one happy dog.”


“An absolute gem of a person. She was so warm and welcoming towards the both of us from the moment we entered her house, and treated Egan like her own child! She has a lovely family who all spoiled him rotten with cuddles and scratches and made him feel safe and happy throughout his stay. I would receive photo and video updates almost every day without even having to ask, and he got loads of outdoor time because they are a very active family! Egan seemed totally contented and relaxed in every video and I believe he became quite attached to Ivy and her family. They are kind, generous, hardworking people, and the best hands to leave your pet in♥️”


“My dog was very happy and well looked after by Jessica. We were sent regular photos and could see she was settled. Our dog enjoyed lovely walks and cuddles! Communication was great and it was reassuring being offered the pre visit. Thank you so much!”


“Hannah & Finlay were amazing with my Labrador, so much so I didn’t think she would want to come home! Regular pictures of her running about enjoying life were sent to me. They are a lovely, caring couple who enjoy dogs, would thoroughly recommend (and hope to use them again!)”


“Katie and Lorimer were excellent with Alfie. He is quite nervous when meeting new people but they gave him space until he felt comfortable with them.They took him for lots of lovely walks and gave him lots of play time in the garden. They kept us updated with plenty of photos of him which kept our minds at ease as this was the first time we had ever left him with a pet sitter. Would highly recommend them and will be using them again.”


“Scapa had a wonderful stay with Mandy and Betsy! We don’t often leave him so it was great to gets lots of lovely updates. He had great time, got on really well with Betsy and came very tired and happy. Thank you!”
