“Very reliable service. Monika was able to book us last minute. Oddy got back home happy and tired. I got my updates to see that he was having fun! Thank you very much!”


“5 stars! Craig was absolutely fantastic with our two dogs. He kept us updated throughout with plenty of messages and loads of lovely photos, which really put our minds at ease while we were away. It was clear from the pictures (and the dogs’ excitement when they saw him!) that they absolutely loved him. Couldn’t recommend him more — reliable, communicative, and clearly great with animals. Thanks again, Craig!”


“My first time using Patricia and she was great. It was all a bit last minute but she just handled it. She sent a lovely report full of pics of Yuca on her walk afterwards which was really reassuring. Wouldn’t hesitate to use her again!”


“Catherine & James were fantastic dog walkers for Django. From the day I sent the booking inquiry they voluntarily offered info on their background and dog sitting/walking experience to put my mind at ease as a pet owner. They are so professional and reliable, frequently sending me updates and photos of Django and were. I know that Django had a great time on his walks with them and was in great hands. I couldn't recommend Catherine and James highly enough and hope to use their services again soon.”
