I can’t thank Danielle and Dougie enough, Roxy is a nervous dog which makes me nervous leaving her with anyone but they very quickly put our minds at ease when we met up for an introduction.Then Roxy has had a fantastic weekend with them I actually think she is missing them since she came home ! Wonderful communication and photos I would 100% recommend them to watch your dog, Roxy will definitely be going back to see them soon !!

Jemma and her family did a great job at looking after Nico whilst we were on holiday. We were sent lots of updates and kept in touch about any concerns. They were also great at keeping on top of his mediation and itchy skin. Thank you!

Rekha was absolutely fantastic with Eric. From the moment we met her, we felt completely at ease leaving him in her care. She sent regular updates and lovely photos, which was so reassuring, and it was clear he was having the best time. From the photos it looks like Eric was taken on lots of long walks and he came back happy, relaxed, and very well looked after, honestly, I’m not sure he wanted to come home! I would 100% recommend Rekha to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and attentive dog sitter, and we will definitely be using her again.

We are extremely happy with the care our dog received from Naomi. From the moment we met, it was clear how kind, patient, and experienced Naomi is. Our dog was relaxed, well cared for, and clearly happy, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Communication was excellent, with regular updates and photos, and we truly felt our dog was treated like part of the family. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you to anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog sitter. Thank you so much!

Clara looked after my dog Chispa very well. Chispa is a rescue dog and can become anxious when left alone. Clara sent photos of Chispa at home and out for a walk where she looked very happy.

Lexi had the best time with Kim. It is obvious that Kim is a natural dog lover and Lexi took to her straight away. We were a little anxious leaving Lexi for the week but Kim sent photos, videos and updates which reassured us she was having a great time. Long walks in fields, the river and meeting other dogs. Lots of cuddles too- just what she likes. I think she is actually better behaved after a week with Kim! Highly recommended.

What a lovely couple ❤️. I received daily updates and photos of my fur baby Reese. When I dropped my dog off they made such a fuss over him that he hardly noticed me leaving, and on collection I could tell that Reese had been well looked after and loved during his stay. I'll definitely be booking him in again. Thank you guys for taking such amazing care of my precious boy ☺️.

This has been a very positive stay for both Lottie and myself. John and his family are very experienced dog owners and will make sure your precious poochies are welcomed and cared for. Lottie had a ball. Made new friends with John’s girls and settled so well. Would not hesitate to recommend John to my friends and family and will be using his very professional services in future. Thank you

Just wanted to say a huge thank you to Cassandra and her family. They were honestly amazing with our dogs and made the whole thing so easy for us. Even when there were a couple of little tummy issues with one of our dogs, she handled it so calmly and kept us updated, which really put our minds at ease. It’s never easy leaving your dogs with someone else, but we felt completely comfortable knowing they were being so well looked after. We genuinely couldn’t have asked for better. Such a lovely family — would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for someone to care for their dogs.

Our golden retriever Beau stayed with Helena for 12 nights whilst we were on holiday. Helena was so accommodating with settling in days and one night before we left. Her dog is so calm and gentle and a great influence on Beau and Helena is very kind and patient with both dogs. She sent us regular updates and photos and Beau had a ball as spent time on group dog walks and explored lots of different places. He was suffering from a bit of separation anxiety before we left but, on return, have noticed he is much calmer if my husband walks away out of sight when we’re out, and Beau didn’t get upset or worried as he did before being away. He is also much calmer around other dogs we meet when out, and we believe this is due to socialising regularly with Helen’s own dog, and others on walks. Helena was great and cannot recommend her care highly enough. Will definitely book her again.

Patricia was very welcoming of Crumble. It was my first time leaving Crumble to board with a sitter. Patricia made us both feel very relaxed at the introduction session, she asked lots of questions and I felt confident that Crumble would be happy when I was away. Crumble seemed really happy and at home in the pictures and videos sent by Patricia and I was glad to hear that she seemed to be settling well. We were a little late in picking Crumble up after her stay due to train delays and Patricia was very accommodating and very happy to hold on to Crumble a little longer. Crumble was well looked after and a happy pup. I’m so pleased with how everything worked out and would definitely recommend Patricia. She was gentle and understanding and happy to listen to what Crumble needed.
