“Another great stay for Arthur! Being at Emma’s is like a home from home for him! He is looked after so well at Emma’s. We love getting all the photos of him out on his walks and in the house showing us he is one happy dog!”
“Absolutely fantastic care by Ann ans Simon. They took great care, and really thought about what would make her happy on her stay. Winnie was a little sad to leave when it was time to say goodbye. I couldn’t recommend Ann enough!”

“Erin and Alex were incredible with Tec; caring, lovely and excellent communicators. I'll definitely be asking for help when I need a sitter again. I was especially grateful for the brilliant updates and time Erin and Alex took to meet, greet and later make sure Tec settled and was comfortable. Would recommend”
“Daisy had a lush day with Anna and her partner. I received some lovely pictures of her out on a walk and having her tummy rubs.. which she loves! Drop off and pick up we're very easy, thank you for looking after my girl for the day 😍🥰”
“Brilliant !!! Our 2 dogs loved it and the family made us welcome, we felt very secure that the dogs would get a 5 star treatment . The pictures and video they sent were reassuring and we now have a dog sitter that delivers everything we require”
“Yuen was absolutely amazing in taking care of Eddie and always sending lots of photos of him. I would strongly recommend her services if you’re looking to leave your dog with someone.”
“Myah absolutely loved her day with Susan and Benny, she seemed to be more behaved for them than she is me!🙈 Would 100% recommend and definitely be using their services again, kept me updated with photos and messages throughout that day to put my mind at ease. Lovely people and could tell they gave as much love to Myah as I do. Thankyou so much Shane and Benny I will see you again soon!”
“This is the first time I've used boarding for my dog and from the first message, to meeting to the stay I felt reassured. Bill and his wife looked after Rocket as if he were one if their own. Plus the daily updates/photos and videos were reassuring. I would definitely use Bill again :)”
“Judith was amazing. At very short notice looked after Amber. Gave regular updates. Amber seemed to think it was her home from home. I think she had a great time. We will definitely be using Judith again.”
“From the moment we arrived, Jenny made us and the boys (Oscar & Bruno) feel welcome. The boys settled right in and were soon getting cuddles and snuggles in their beds and blankets. Jenny kept us upto date daily with pics of their antics and reassured us that everything was going well. Jenny understood the needs of Daxies as well as senior dogs (great given our boys are both !!). This was our first 3 day "trial" and it went without fault. We have her booked in for 3 weeks over Christmas / New Year soon and so we can now go away feeling comfortable that the boys are being looked after and spoiled which is sucha releif for us. Thanks Jenny.”
“I was really nervous about leaving my dog with strangers for the first time but with regular pupdates of how Rosie was & the fact they stuck to her routine put me at ease. The fact they had a friendly dog themselves made Rosie’s stay much more fun I would definitely use this couple again.”
“Anna took care of Koko for a week, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. She kept us up to date throughout, sending daily videos and pictures that really put our minds at ease. It was clear Koko was well looked after and happy in her care. We would highly recommend Anna to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful pet sitter.”
“Kirsty looked after Honey for two nights, Honey settled in straight away and was very comfortable. Kirsty made her feel at home and had lots of toys for Honey to play with. She also made sure Honey had plenty of outdoor time with walks in the woods and the beach and provided us with lots of updates. Would definitely recommend Kirsty, she is an excellent dog boarder and we will be booking again!”
About: My whole life I have been surrounded by dogs both big and small. I have grew up with boxers in the family since I was 2 months old, and my mum has had her own dog boarding which was extremely popular. All dogs are treated as part of the family and are took on multiple walks per day, from national trust days out, beach’s adventures , and mountain walks. My mother was also a guide dog puppy trainer, which was truly a fabulous experience. I have just finished university so I have all the time in the world. I sometimes work a Saturday night in town, but my partner (who is a massive dog lover) would be home. I have a garden which is fenced and has a stone wall. Although I live next to a busy road, your dog will never be in the garden unsupervised, and will always be on a lead when walking anywhere unless in a rented field that is 100% secure.

Access to water all day and I will feed in your schedule.
“I'm a first time dog-lendee and I couldn't be happier with the boarding, love, care and attention offered to Inca by Tom and his lovely wife. Great communication and very welcoming but most of all a true animal lover. This could have so easily gone wrong with Inca's rescue background but Tom has dog-whispering skills like I've never seen before. I wouldn't hesitate to ask Tom to have Inca again because I know she's in safe and caring hands. Thank you.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better experience for Luna’s overnight stay. Luna stayed overnight while we travelled to Birmingham, and we felt completely reassured from the start. We received plenty of updates and photos, and it was lovely to see how relaxed and comfortable she was throughout her stay. Communication was excellent, Jesica and Sam were warm, friendly and clearly cared about Luna’s wellbeing. Pick-up was smooth, so everything was handled professionally. Thank you for taking such great care of Luna. We would highly recommend you to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter. We would happily book again!”

“Kayleigh was excellent. She responded very quickly to messages and was very reliable. Ginger was well cared for and enjoyed his cuddles. He was not at all stressed upon our return and was obviously at ease with Kayleigh, who left everything tip-top!”
About: I absolutely love dogs, but being a uni student I don’t get to meet all that many! I’ve had my own dog for 8 years now, a Miniature Schnauzer called Pip! I also work for a dog food company, purely so I can meet new dogs, it’s great fun. I’m easy going, flexible and can work around you and your dog, don’t be afraid to get in touch if you have any other questions! I’m currently at university, with relatively low contact hours I can be extremely flexible in terms of availability. So any time that works for you will most likely work for me! Every dog (and their owner) is different, all I need is a short list of do’s and don’ts (e.g no going on the sofa, no treats after dinner etc). If I am house sitting then I will treat your house like the library, all I need is my laptop and won’t make a fuss! If we are out walking, I have some great dog walks around Sheffield with varying lengths that you (and your dog) can choose from!
“Our cat Moana is a rescue and is very nervous. Maisie seemed to make friends with her very easily and sent us some lovely pictures from each days visit. We trusted her from our initial meeting and will certainly have her again. Pat & Val”
“Absolutely brilliant. I didn't have to worry at all whilst we were away, Clara did a fantastic job! The cats didn't show any signs of stress whilst we were gone, and when we came back they were healthy and happy. Clara kept in touch and sent photos and videos, I will definitely be booking with her again.”
“Tracey looked after my dog Pablo and did such a great job! super friendly, reliable, and clearly loves dogs. Pablo absolutely adored her. I got regular updates and photos, and he looked so happy and relaxed the whole time. It’s such a relief knowing he was in safe hands. I wouldn’t hesitate to book again 🐶💛”
“Sam did a brilliant job with my cat Reuben! She was really communicative with me while I was away over the weekend and she really took the time to bond with Reuben and make sure he was alright! It gave me real peace of mind whilst I was away that Reuben was in good hands”
About: I’ve never owned a cat myself, but I’ve been lucky to look after cats for friends, family, and colleagues, and I’ve completely fallen in love with them. I’m definitely a cat person at heart and love how unique each one is. I’m happy to take things at their pace, whether that means earning their trust slowly, enjoying some quiet company, or cuddles when they’re feeling affectionate.
“Sophie was incredibly patient and flexible over the booking process (which was complicated due to some cat health issues that affected the booking times), and responded promptly and patiently to all my messages and my last-minute flailing around! Has been thoughtful, great with problem solving, communicative throughout, and took great care in staying with them during the sessions to ensure they’d had everything they needed, especially as one has been incredibly poorly lately. Has earned the trust of my two very finicky and anxious cats. Thank you Sophie!”
“My cat Victor enjoyed his visits from Celine and he is shy around new people! Celine made him at ease instantly and sent me pictures and updates and I could phone her too. We both agree Celine is the best, would highly recommend will book Celine on our next trip away.”
About: I had my first cat at 14 when I lived with my parents. She was called Bella and I loved her. When I moved out my mam and dad loved her so much I let her stay with them and got Toby who I lived with for 17years. He was my best friend and I loved him dearly. I am fully experienced in the cat industry. Your pet will be showered with love and attention x
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life, so caring for them comes naturally. I’ve spent years around all kinds of breeds and personalities, from high energy springer spaniels to independent dachshunds and loyal German shepherds. At home we have one of each, so I know first-hand how different their needs, routines and quirks can be. Whether it’s long walks, playtime or just making them feel safe and happy, I treat every dog as if they were my own. I am home from uni for summer, so I can take them on short/long walks across Hadrian’s wall. Or we can relax at home, on the sofa 😛 I treat both the dog and the space with the same care and respect I would my own. I know how important it is for dogs to feel comfortable in their usual surroundings, so I stick to their normal routine and keep things calm and consistent. I’m tidy, reliable and always make sure everything’s left just how I found it — except maybe with a happier, well-walked dog.
“Eleanor is great. She took good care of our cat and kept us informed regularly on how she was doing. It was a real comfort to know she was being so well looked after. I would recommend Eleanor and will definitely have her look after our cat next time we are away.”
About: Coming from a family of farmers in County Durham, I grew up surrounded by animals; dogs, cats, chickens, ducks, sheep, cows and horses! I have 5 cats and 2 dogs who all love to join in on walks! I’m very active and will make sure your pet gets the attention they deserve. Previously done house sits and walking for dogs who all left with 5* reviews.

“Stellar and adaptable dog day care when our holiday plans somewhat changed and transport was limited. Yuen’s and her family’s support for our plans and loving care for our special dog at short-notice were above and beyond anything we could have hoped for. We definitely recommend Yuen to anyone needing dog day care, and will seek her services on our future visits to the area.”
“Ron loves going to Emma, he meets other dogs and have lovely long walks, now that it is cooler. He starts getting excited the minute we turn into Emma's road. He's well cared for and I know he's safe”

“I can highly recommend Laylee to care for your dog. I chose her because she has experience with giant breed dogs that might have phased another sitter. She is knowledgeable,responsible with a passion for dogs. My Newfie puppy loved her and he had a wonderful day with her. I just wished she lived closer as just a bit too far for a few hours sitting.”
“We left our little Ernie with the lovely debs and her wonderful husband 2 days in a row! He had the BEST time and they both made me feel so at ease when leaving him that I knew he would be in good hands! They both treated my dog like family and I will be happy to let him go back anytime!”
“Griffin had a great time with Laura and Leandro, it was his first time being minded and he seemed to enjoy it. We were sent photos and updates, and they were very accommodating with our late notice booking. Would definitely reccomend! :)”
“First time our dogs stayed with other people and it has gone really well. Peace of mind knowing they were well looked after in a safe environment with lovely people and looking forward to the next stay!”
“Helen T. Thank you for taking a last minute booking to look after Ash. We can tell she has had a happy day with walks and water breaks. We will be pleased to recommend Helen. We returned to happy paws and a calm dog. The photos are evidence of a lovely day. Thank you”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and caring for them comes naturally to me. I hold a Level 3 OFQUAL qualification in dog boarding and am fully licensed by Durham County Council, giving you extra peace of mind that your pet is in safe and professional hands. I’m confident handling dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments—including energetic puppies and elderly dogs who may need a bit more patience and gentle care. Whether your dog needs structured playtime, calm companionship, or specific routines, I’m well-prepared to provide personalised, reliable care every time. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work from home part-time, which gives me the flexibility to provide plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship throughout the day. I would be the only person caring for your dog, giving them personalised attention throughout the day. I also have a school-age child, so the home is calm during school hours—perfect for pets who enjoy a quieter environment. Your dog will be treated as part of the family while they’re with me. In my home, pets enjoy a relaxed, homely environment with plenty of comfort and freedom. I have a secure, fenced garden where dogs can play safely and have frequent access throughout the day. I'm also lucky to have easy access to scenic rural walks, perfect for dogs who enjoy stretching their legs and exploring nature. Dogs in my care are welcome to make themselves at home—whether that means lounging on the sofa, sleeping on the bed, or finding their own cosy spot. I always work around each dog’s existing routine to ensure continuity and comfort, whether that’s feeding schedules, exercise needs, or quiet time. Their wellbeing is my top priority.
“Kateryna is fantastic. Great communication from the first message right until picking Leo up. She took the time for a meet and greet and to understand Leo’s needs and routine. She kept us up to date throughout the day of his activities and sent us photos which definitely put us at ease. He had a wonderful time with Kateryna, thank you! Would 100% recommend anyone looking for a dog sitter.”
“Milo had a fantastic day with Alex and his dog Kaia, we received plenty of updates, videos and photos throughout the day which kept us at ease knowing he was settling in well! Alex was extremely responsive and clearly communicated throughout the booking process and whilst Milo was at his house, giving us an early update to reassure us he was all good! He obviously had a great time as he’s been fast asleep since we got home didn’t want to leave when picking him up. Thanks so much Alex, Milo will be visiting again for sure!”

Dexter loved being around them and they showed total care for him. Their house, with fenced back garden, is perfect. They are conveniently located near excellent transport links. I’d highly recommend them. I’d definitely use them again.”
“Craig did a wonderful job looking after our active Goldendoodle Charlie. He was very accommodating, friendly and reliable. He is very easy to communicate with and very quick to respond. Thank you Craig for helping us out at very short notice. Highly recommended!”

About: Hi, I'm Claire, the owner of Hound & Hike, a professional dog walking and pet sitting service based in Hexham. After more than 18 years as a police officer, I chose to follow my passion for caring for animals by creating a business dedicated to providing reliable, compassionate and trustworthy care for your pets. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and I've spent years caring for a wide variety of breeds, ages and personalities. From energetic working breeds and playful puppies to senior dogs, blind dogs and those needing medication or extra support, I understand that every dog is unique and deserves care tailored to their individual needs. Whether your dog enjoys adventurous countryside walks, relaxed local strolls, or simply companionship and reassurance while you're away, I'll make sure they feel safe, happy and loved every step of the way. I treat every dog as if they were my own, giving them the patience, kindness and attention they deserve. My policing career has equipped me with qualities that are invaluable in pet care: reliability, responsibility, excellent communication, attention to detail and the ability to remain calm and confident in any situation. As a trusted key holder, you can have complete peace of mind knowing your home and your pet are in safe hands. At Hound & Hike, your dog's safety, wellbeing and happiness are always my highest priorities. You'll also receive regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your best friend is enjoying their day. I'd love the opportunity to meet you and your dog and become someone you can trust to care for them whenever you need. From 03/08, Hound & Hike is my full time role - offering dog walks and pet sitting predominantly Monday-Friday, but also occasional weekends. Please enquire 🙂 I am a trusted key holder, with safety and security being a priority - as well as giving your dog lots of love, care & attention (and treats if permitted!) I am DBS Checked, Dog First Aid trained and have a Diploma in Pet Sitting & Dog Walking and a Diploma in Canine Communication to further enhance my skills.
About: I have always loved having dogs around, and when I was younger, the family dogs would always come down to the stables while I tended the horses. I have experience walking a variety of dogs: labradors, cocker/springer spaniels, cockapoos, dachshund to mention a few and across a wide range of ages. As we all like a little routine in our lives, dogs aren't too different; however, I do understand that each and every dog is different with their own personalities and needs. Therefore, I will adapt to their/your needs to provide a tailored-made service for them and you. This will give you the knowledge and confidence that they are being well looked after, safe and having fun. I am an honest, trustworthy, and energetic person who loves the great outdoors and has years of experience looking after family and close friends’ dog/s. All of which I absolutely love and adore and can’t wait to take them out again soon. Looking forward to meeting you and your canine best friend/s. Lindsay S. I currently have part-time commitments; which allows me to be flexible. So, depending on your requirements, I can adhere to the service that is required. Dog walking services, collecting and returning to your property. I scoop poop, dry/clean them after a muddy walk and make sure they have plenty of water.
About: Hello, my name is Sam! I've always loved animals from a young age, having all types of pets for as long as I can remember. In 2021 I was fortunate enough to work in an animal rescue, caring for so many different animals my passion grew rapidly. I have 8 pets of my own - 1 dog, 3 cats and 4 rabbits who are my absolute world ❤️. Being a pet owner and going on holiday or days away myself, I get anxious and always worry if they'll be looked after properly (I'm the pet owner that leaves 4 laminated sheets of instructions) 🥹, so I can completely understand the reservations people have. I want to be the person who can put your worries aside and you can be sure your furries will be looked after and spoilt as if they were my own until you come home. I have great experience with cats, dogs, rabbits, guinea pigs, chickens and some other exotics and farm animals as well as wildlife. I am confident and have experience administering various medications to various species. I also currently work in a veterinary practice and have gained so much knowledge including identifying emergency situations allowing me to take the best care of your pets. I hope to meet you and your lovely furry friends soon 😊🐾. Please message me if some dates you require are unavailable on my calendar and I'll do my best to accommodate 😊. For visits over 5 miles from my area there is an additional 50p charge per mile. I work in a veterinary practice Monday to Friday helping care for the inpatients and patients in for appointments. At home I have a zoo of 8 I care for everyday, administering meds, feeding, cleaning etc. I am very careful with open doors as I have house cats of my own. I make sure my rabbits are secure in cages before I leave and my dogs collar, harness and lead are secure before any walks.

“Kayleigh was always really fast to respond to our messages, she came and met with some of our lovely animals here at the rescue and walked 2 of our nervous & reactive rescues and she handled them really well, making sure to let us know when the dogs were being reactive and to what triggers She also went above and beyond and helped feed and water all our 100+ animals here at the rescue Would very highly recommend Kayleigh Thank you”
About: I’ve owned dogs from the age of 6, both small and large, alongside other animals🐾 I love all animals tiny or giant! I often pet sit for friends, family and colleagues often. I work for a mental health charity full time, Monday to Friday 9am-5pm, but enjoy spending my free time going on walks and spending time with my english pointer Ellie who has endless amounts of energy. I would like to put my passion for animals to good use by helping out other pet parents when I can! I’m flexible and understand that every pet is unique and have their own quirks. I’m also open to extra long walks as a girl who loves to get her steps in! I’m available after 5pm on a weekday (Monday-Friday) but sometimes this is flexible! I am also available for early morning 6-7am on a weekday (Monday-Friday) but sometimes this is flexible also! On a weekend I am available at ANY time! I mainly offer drop-in visits, dog walks, and occasional in-home stays, allowing pets to stay comfortable and relaxed in their familiar environment. I don’t host pets in my own home, as I have a dog and want to avoid causing them any stress by introducing unfamiliar animals into their space. As a true animal lover, I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and needs so they feel safe and secure while you’re away. Whether it’s a quick visit, a walk, or a longer stay, I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, exercise, playtime, and any special care requirements. During visits, I make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, affection, and companionship—not just the basics. I’m attentive to their behaviour and wellbeing, and I always aim to make each visit calm, positive, and reassuring. I respect your home and keep everything clean, tidy, and secure. Trust and safety are very important to me, and I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away.
About: I have been raised around pets my entire life, and am confident in my ability to care for them. I have cared for both family and friends' pets in the past when needed, and now have my own. I currently study part time, so have plenty time to care for your pets. With summer coming up, my availability is much more flexible due to the term ending :) A pet's safety and comfort is really important to me - I always make sure to provide the care needed and make sure that their owner is confident they are being cared for.
“Very happy with my pups walks this week. Louise agreed to pick up these walks last minute as we had a cancellation with our other walker - this has really helped us out and we appreciated the walks she did with our dog. She took him on different walks each day and even gave him a bag of treats at the end. Thanks so much!”

About: Hi there! My name is João, I came from Brazil to do my PhD research a few months ago and, since then, has been working as pet sitting in Newcastle. I had to leave my two cats under my friend's care during the period I am here (sadly but also thankfully), so I sincerely can relate with the need of having someone responsable, trustful and experience to look after our littles. I have experience taking care of dogs and cats here, as well as of pets for family and friends in Brazil, including dogs, cats, hamsters and bunnies, which I consider positive experiences in developing a sense of how to provide assistance in different situations regarding sitter them. For me, aside from doing an extra money to support my period of study here, it will be a genuine pleasure to spend time with your pets and give them all the love I keep with me for my cats, and I will make sure to take care of your pets with the same attention I would like mine to be cared, ensuring they will be safe, respected and catered to all needs. As I have flexible times at university my schedule is always free. I am available all day every day of week so we can previously arrange the activities you need to be provided (including home visits, house sitting, walk in neighbourhood, take or pick from home to somewhere, or others). But as each pet has their own personality, before I can look after your pets I will need to know as much as possible about them, like routine, diet, any allergies, medicines, behaviour alone and with other animals, in and out of home, activities that they enjoy etc. If you feel that I can help you caring your pet please send me a message so we can chat about how I can help.

“Erin and Alex were incredible with Tec; caring, lovely and excellent communicators. I'll definitely be asking for help when I need a sitter again. I was especially grateful for the brilliant updates and time Erin and Alex took to meet, greet and later make sure Tec settled and was comfortable. Would recommend”
“Brilliant !!! Our 2 dogs loved it and the family made us welcome, we felt very secure that the dogs would get a 5 star treatment . The pictures and video they sent were reassuring and we now have a dog sitter that delivers everything we require”
“This is the first time I've used boarding for my dog and from the first message, to meeting to the stay I felt reassured. Bill and his wife looked after Rocket as if he were one if their own. Plus the daily updates/photos and videos were reassuring. I would definitely use Bill again :)”
“Anna took care of Koko for a week, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. She kept us up to date throughout, sending daily videos and pictures that really put our minds at ease. It was clear Koko was well looked after and happy in her care. We would highly recommend Anna to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful pet sitter.”
“Kirsty looked after Honey for two nights, Honey settled in straight away and was very comfortable. Kirsty made her feel at home and had lots of toys for Honey to play with. She also made sure Honey had plenty of outdoor time with walks in the woods and the beach and provided us with lots of updates. Would definitely recommend Kirsty, she is an excellent dog boarder and we will be booking again!”
About: My whole life I have been surrounded by dogs both big and small. I have grew up with boxers in the family since I was 2 months old, and my mum has had her own dog boarding which was extremely popular. All dogs are treated as part of the family and are took on multiple walks per day, from national trust days out, beach’s adventures , and mountain walks. My mother was also a guide dog puppy trainer, which was truly a fabulous experience. I have just finished university so I have all the time in the world. I sometimes work a Saturday night in town, but my partner (who is a massive dog lover) would be home. I have a garden which is fenced and has a stone wall. Although I live next to a busy road, your dog will never be in the garden unsupervised, and will always be on a lead when walking anywhere unless in a rented field that is 100% secure.
“I'm a first time dog-lendee and I couldn't be happier with the boarding, love, care and attention offered to Inca by Tom and his lovely wife. Great communication and very welcoming but most of all a true animal lover. This could have so easily gone wrong with Inca's rescue background but Tom has dog-whispering skills like I've never seen before. I wouldn't hesitate to ask Tom to have Inca again because I know she's in safe and caring hands. Thank you.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better experience for Luna’s overnight stay. Luna stayed overnight while we travelled to Birmingham, and we felt completely reassured from the start. We received plenty of updates and photos, and it was lovely to see how relaxed and comfortable she was throughout her stay. Communication was excellent, Jesica and Sam were warm, friendly and clearly cared about Luna’s wellbeing. Pick-up was smooth, so everything was handled professionally. Thank you for taking such great care of Luna. We would highly recommend you to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter. We would happily book again!”
“Rebecca was fantastic and bruno really enjoyed his stay with her family and making friends with her dog Douglas. Rebecca kept myself and my partner updated during bruno's stay with plenty of pictures and messages to re assure us he was safe and loving his life. Bruno will definitely be returning ☺️”
“This was our first time using a dog sitter, and I was a little nervous, but Brianna was fantastic. She took great care of our dog Betsy, kept me updated with messages and photos, and made the whole experience stress-free. My dog was happy and well looked after. I would definitely recommend her and would happily book with her again. Thank you!”
“This was the first time we've used dogsitters for our 9 year old collie. We liked the reviews that had been posted about Ros and Charles, and when we met them we were very comfortable that our dog would be in excellent hands when we went away. We were not disappointed, and, if our dog could talk, I'm sure he would say the same. We'll certainly be using them again sometime.”
“Andrew looked after Alfie perfectly. I get a bit stressed leaving him but Andrew kept me well informed with messages and photos. Alfie came back a happy and healthy dog which makes for a very happy owner. Thanks Andrew!”
“Lauren has looked after our two staffies twice now and we couldn’t happier with the level of care. She’s brilliant at sending regular updates and great at wrangling our big bundles of energy. We can tell how much our girls love staying because this time when we dropped them off they ran to the front door!”
“Georgia looked after our cockapoo puppy, Milo, for two days and we couldn't have asked for anyone better! It was the first time we'd ever left him, and she couldn't have made us feel more at ease. She kept us updated throughout with pictures, which was so reassuring, and it was clear Milo had the best time with Otis and Barney – it was like a little holiday for him! Georgia is so kind and caring, and we'll definitely be booking with her again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her!”
“Left our 3 year old Labrador with Jake this past weekend and Jake was very good with him. His communication with messages, photos and video was excellent. Our dog is typical in that he needs loads of exercise and Jake took him out as much as he could. We’ve got no complaints with Jake and will use him again and would recommend him to everyone.”
“Parker seemed to have a lovely time with Angela. She followed all our instructions and he settled in really well. He had lots of walks and food and cuddles and we’d definitely be happy to use them again.”
“Laura and her husband were incredible sitters, and really went above and beyond for us when we needed last minute boarding due to other plans falling through. They very communicative and sent daily updates and pictures and seemed to genuinely care for Monty, it was heartwarming to see. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone for sitting and boarding services.”
