“Jack had a lovely time with Melonie and her furry family. He was well looked after and his needs were met in every way. It was incredibly hot while Jack was with Melonie but she took sensible precautions to ensure that he didn’t overheat and I felt very confident that he was safe in her care and so I could enjoy my holiday.”

“Ryanne had petal for me for eleven nights and while away kept me informed of how she was and what her days were like. I can see she’s been well looked after and spoilt in their care. Will be in no doubt to leave petal again with Ryanne. Highly recommend. Thank you”

“Absolutely fantastic!!! Maisie & Cooper stayed with Trudy whilst we went for a night away in London and they were more than taken care of! Amazing long walks in the fields & forest and a lovely garden for them to roam until their hearts are content! Updated with pics regularly too! Thank you! Will be using Trudy often! 😅”

“We’ve picked up a well exercised and content dog From Ying. Communication was great with nice little updates regularly received. All in all a great experience for the dog, and ourselves. Thank you Ying.”

“This was our dogs first time away. Sam was brilliant! Bixby took to her straightaway. I would definitely use her again and recommend her. She seemed very confident and understanding.”

“Joey had a lovely time with Ashley! He went out and about-even to Ashley’s Pilates class! She took special care of him (he has 3 legs) and adapted to accommodate his needs. He enjoyed his sofa cuddles! We will be very happy for Joey to stay with Ashley again.”

“Violet had a fantastic time with lots of photos to show how she was getting on and the lovely walks she was going on. Jess is fantastic and very reassuring. Violet is already booked in for a longer stay and I am so happy to have found such a wonderful sitter for Violet.”

“Thank you Ruth and family. Frankie clearly had a great time and was well looked after. I appreciated the pics also. Hopefully we’ll make it work again in the not too distant future. Anne, Ian & Frankie”

About: I'm a qualified dog trainer, currently taking a diploma in canine first aid. I'm also a registered nurse which comes with a particular set of skills and knowledge - much which is transferable. I come from a home which was full of pets, from the usual dogs, rabbits, hamsters and birds, to exotic spiders, snakes and lizards. When I left home I continued the trend having many pets of my own - with the addition of chickens. I'm home all day, with my own Staffie - who loves the company of other dogs - so plenty of time for walks, play and just chilling around the house. I have a fenced garden and a very friendly dog for your pet to play with. We have a field and country lane right outside our home and a large field a short walk away where other dogs also go to play and be walked.
“Couldn't praise Bridget highly enough, reliable, trustworthy and, above all, kind! Fin had a wonderful stay, his first time away and it was nerve-wracking (for me!). However, I need not have worried, Bridget cared for him like one of her own and Fin made two new friends. I'm sure he'll miss Rocket and I hope they get to have a play-date another time. Better than home from home, 5* mini_break! ❤️”

“It was a perfect 1st stay away from home. Millie was made very welcome and Aga helped her to settle and maintained her routine. Aga couldn't have been more accommodating or caring and her updates with regular photos showing Millie happy and enjoying herself were very reassuring. A great dog minder that I will use again and would be happy to recommend.”

“Ryan is an amazing dog sitter. He is really caring, experienced, and patient. He took great care of my dog, Harry, and sent me regular updates with photos. I highly recommend him!”

“Monty is so happy to go to sues. When we get there and let him out of the car, he is knocking on their door. He loves to be there and is spoiled rotten. Would deffently recommend her.”

“You simply couldn’t wish for anyone better than Caroline to care for your canine companions - it’s as simple as that! This was the very first time we had left Jip with anyone other than a family member - Caroline & the totally gorgeous Zola went out of their way & above & beyond to make Jip feel welcome & part of the family immediately. Caroline sent wonderful, reassuring updates & provided an absolutely faultless, caring, compassionate & above all secure & fun stay for Jip. It was there for all to see that Jip had had an absolute ball staying with Caroline, Zola & family……So if you’re looking for someone to care for your pet to the highest standards, look no further than Caroline……& Zola of course! Thank you Caroline from the bottom of our hearts & we wouldn’t hesitate for a second to leave Jip with you again 😊”

“Thank god for Debbie. From our first meet and greet and how well our dog Buddy took to her, we knew we found a special, trustworthy, genuine person to care for Buddy, whilst we were away. Debbie provided such an excellent service and made sure we were kept updated with messages and photos during Buddy’s stay. And we could tell he was being so well cared for, which in turn made our holiday away more enjoyable as we could properly relax knowing he was so happy and settled. We will definitely be looking to book Debbie for future dog sitting needs. Thank you so much Debbie”

Melonie is such a lovely lady and very capable. She sent lovely pictures of Mia playing with her toy which put my mind at ease. She is also very good at giving tips on grooming and behaviour! It was the first time I had left Mia with a stranger but I am happy that Mia was well looked after and loved and will definitely be using Melonie again
