“Another great stay for Dax. He absolutely loves his time with Rachel and Mabel which makes leaving him so much easier. Great communication and lots of photos are an added bonus 😃”
About: I have taken care of my own dogs since was able to walk, I take my own dogs into daily and always love the company. Walking is my safe space and dogs are too which is why this job is so well fitted for me I look after my own dogs daily so it’s routine for me. Normally I go to gym early then walk the dogs before lunch and at tea time. I leave close to the sea so a beach trip is manditory! I have a fenced garden with one friendly cocker spaniel at home, she loves running and especially the. beach and playing on a field, I’m always happy to bring her along with me!
“Maeve looked after my dog Peanut for the weekend and he has had the best time! She has treated him like her own dog allowing him to have cuddles in bed and on the sofa! He had the best walk at the beach and the field playing with sticks. He’s come home very content. Would highly recommend Maeve and peanut would love to visit again!”
“I couldn't of asked for more from Anna, she looked after my dog Scrappy like he was her own. I left Scrappy with Anna for 4 days (3 nights) when we went away for a long weekend. After losing her own dog, and how upsetting it was for her she decided to start looking after other peoples dogs. Anna and her family were brilliant with my dog, long walks and lots of playing with him. Scrappy spent lots of time playing with her kids aswell, and trying to steal their food (he's just greedy boy). I recieved updates and photos daily. When I came to pick him up on the Sunday night, he didn't want to leave Anna's. I recieved one happy Jack Russell back. I will definatley be leaving Scrappy with Anna the next time we go away.”
“Joshuah took great care of Kobbie! He was very welcoming and handled Kobbie’s high energy well. He took him out for a walk even when the weather was rubbish and sent updates/pics throughout the weekend. Would definitely recommend :)”
“This was my first time booking with Julie, and she did an amazing job looking after my dog Kody. He’s a bit of a character and can be stubborn, but Julie was understanding and clearly experienced with dogs. Julie kept me updated while I was away, and I could tell Kody was comfortable and happy with her. I came home to a relaxed, well-looked-after, very content pup! Thanks Julie! :)”
“Doris and her family looked after Millie really well with at least two walks a day, and playing ball with Millie in their garden. Doris gave us daily updates including photos which gave us a good picture of Millie’s day and the reassurance that she was being well cared for. I wound certainly recommend her very highly.”
“Thank you so much for having Marnie❤️ Marnie is 7 month old puppy who can sometimes be a handful and Jessica has looked after her so so well and we are really happy and will definitely book in with her again”
“As this was our fist real weekend away from Stan, we were both nervous. By meeting Tracey before booking, it made the whole process a lot easier and getting to know both Tracey and Stu beforehand put our minds at rest. Stan had a fantastic time staying with them. We received daily updates and pictures so it was easier to enjoy our holiday knowing our little man was being well looked after. It was clear they have a strong love for animals and a lot of knowledge too having previously grown up with and owning big dogs in the past. We knew Stan would be in great hands and we can’t thank them enough for making this whole process as easy as possible for the dog and humans”
“Thank you Kirsty for being there at such short notice and for being willing to have Fezziwig. We could totally relax knowing he was in your care as he loves his walks and snuggles with you. You really do take dogs into your home as if they were your very own and doggies and their owners so appreciate that. Thank you.”
“We had such a great experience leaving Vader with them and honestly couldn’t have asked for better care From the start they were friendly, polite, and really easy to communicate with, which made the whole process feel stress-free. While we were away, they kept us updated with regular photos and videos, which we really appreciated, and it was so reassuring to see how happy and settled he was. It was obvious Vader was completely comfortable and having the best time (I genuinely think he would’ve happily stayed longer!!) They really embraced his personality as well, even his obsession with bringing his collection of sticks in the house lol, which made it feel like he was properly understood and cared for, not just “looked after.” When we picked him up he was absolutely exhausted, which says everything; clearly lots of walks, playtime, and attention. We wont hesitate to book with them again and would 100% recommend them to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and genuinely great with dogs”
“Lauren was very accommodating especially with my loose timeframes which was very helpful and very much appreciated! Ralphy had a good stay and got to interact with another dog which definitely helped his own anxiety of being left! Lauren helped my own anxiety by sending updates over text and was super nice throughout! Would hugely recommend to everyone 😁”
“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 😍🥰”

“Dan was very welcoming and we had a positive pre-boarding meeting as it was the first time boarding. Honey was made to feel at home and had a great stay, and while we were away we enjoyed the updates and photos Dan sent. Would highly recommend and we’ll definitely book again. Thanks Dan!”
“Great updates throughout the day. Some lovely pics. Our pup loved being there he had some great walks. Followed all the directions left, and he came back home happy as Larry! Will definitely book again”
About: I’ve been a dog-carer for 8 years and have good knowledge and confidence for our canine babies!

“A huge thank you to Honey for taking such great care of Dolly! It was lovely getting her regular updates, and the whole process of arranging her visits was so straightforward. I can't recommend Honey enough – she's fantastic!.”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Outstanding Cat Sitting Experience with Dan! We recently had the pleasure of leaving our two cats in Dan’s care while we went on holiday for a week, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience! From start to finish, Dan was nothing short of fantastic. Our cats were clearly very comfortable and happy in his home, and he kept us updated every single day with photos and updates, which was incredibly reassuring. One of our cats has a specific medicine routine, and Dan made sure it was followed perfectly. It was such a relief to know they were in such capable hands. Honestly, it felt like a holiday for us and a little holiday for our cats too! We’re truly grateful for the high level of love and care Dan provided. If you’re looking for a cat sitter who treats your pets like their own, look no further. Highly, highly recommended!”
“Maya was an incredible cat sitter. She took the time to meet both cats beforehand, which really put us at ease. During our time away, she shared photos from every visit, and it was clear they were very well looked after and happy. Highly recommend her!”
“So pleased I chose Emma to look after my 3 cats while I was away. She was more than happy to come spend some time getting to know them prior to our booking and I've never known my shy ex-feral cats warm to anyone so quickly. Emma is friendly and professional and followed the cats routines perfectly. The notes and photos after every visit provided great peace of mind knowing how each of the cats was getting on. If I go away again I'll definitely be seeing if Emma's available as I couldn't be happier with the service she provided.”
“Ana Luisa has been lovely as always! I'm never worried when I go away because I know Rexie is in good hands! Rexie always runs to Ana Luisa when she sees her and they have a very sweet relationship. Couldn't recommend enough!!”
“I have booked Oscar to watch my cat Napoleon twice now and both times he did a great job! He sent me plenty of pictures and videos while I was away and let me know if he was eating and drinking well. I would book him again any time.”
“Amy was great with our cat and kitten, communication was fantastic throughout and we loved getting so many pictures and updates of how they were doing. It was really reassuring knowing that she was there to give them love and attention so we could enjoy a rare night out! We’d love to have her back in the future and I’m sure the cats would love that too”
“We had a really positive experience with Alannah. She followed all the instructions carefully and was incredibly helpful and kind throughout. It was clear that she genuinely cared and took great care of our cat, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. Overall, a fantastic sitter—we would definitely book with Alannah again and highly recommend her to others!”
About: I've spent my whole life with cats and dugs. I grew up with a tabby cat and a cocker spaniel and, when I was lodging in London, I lived with a calico kittena nd an ex-Police German Shepherd. Friends, family, and folk I've got chatting to in the pub have all called on me too look after their cats, kittens, and a range of dog breeds including labradors, rottweilers, and spaniels. I'm a devoted Cat-Dad. Lacey, our nine-year-old rescue cat, has me wrapped round her little toe-bean. I'd love to get a dog but I fear they might cause chaos at my day job in an art gallery. I'm friendly, reliable, and pride myself on excellent communication. I can't wait to meet your furry friend!

“Sophie and Duncan were great cat sitters! They sent us daily updates and photos of Earl. He’s a very sociable cat who loves to play and they made sure to spend time with him when they visited which was much appreciated :)”

“Sam was absolutely fantastic from the moment I met her. She answered every question I had and nothing was a bother with her, she kept me up to date with how Bellatrix was doing and sent videos and photos of her. She kept me very much at ease. I was worried that my cat wouldn’t take to Sam, as my cat can be funny around new people but after the first visit she was very comfortable and willing to come to Sam for cuddles. I would highly recommend Sam for sitting and I will definitely be using her again if I need one. Well Done Sam”
About: After losing my beloved Alex, my cherished companion of many years, to old age, I’ve come to understand the profound bond between pets and their owners. Alex brought so much joy, comfort, and unconditional love into my life, and his passing left a space that only the presence of a furry friend can fill. This experience has inspired me to open my heart and home to other pets, offering them the same care, attention, and affection that I gave to Alex. I know firsthand the importance of patience, routine, and understanding when it comes to caring for pets, especially those who may be older or need extra support. Whether it’s a gentle walk, a cosy cuddle, or simply being there to provide companionship, I’m committed to ensuring every pet feels safe, loved, and valued. Let me help care for your pet with the same dedication and warmth that I gave to my dear Alex. Fully insured. As a part-time teacher, pet sitting complements my flexible schedule, allowing me to dedicate mornings, evenings, and weekends to walks, feeding, and cuddles, ensuring pets feel loved and secure. I have a big fenced garden as well as a garden room, my dog Alex was allowed to use the house as our humans do and I will treat any pet the same way.
“Sarah was great feeding our 2 cats while we were on holiday. It is the first time we have left them in the care of someone other than family members. She gave updates everyday and sent photos. I will be using Sarah again in the future.”
“John has a genuine love and care for animals he took our petal out for lots of fun and interesting walks with other dogs which was great to see the photos from! We know she was well cared for and had lots of fun! Thank you again John!”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs, our families little jack Russell and Yorkshire terrier cross and family and friends dogs too. I’ve cared for labradors, pugs, French bulldogs, dachshunds and more. I love bonding and spending time with them and taking them on walks as well as playing in the house and having cuddles. I’m sensible, reliable and kind and will make your dog feel very at home. I’m work for myself on laptop, a few hours a week. I do this from home so I have plenty of time to play with your pets and give them lots of love and attention. I will take your dogs for one or two walks a day (depending on what they are used to). I can walk them up to grassy areas to have the toilet first thing in the morning and in the evening before bed. I live near the coast and can travel by bus if they like being on the beach. They would be cared for so much. For cats they would be indoor only. They would be the only animal in my flat. They would be treated with so much care and attention too (if they like attention!) and looked after as you would in your own home. Feel free to bring what they are used to playing with, scratch posts, cat towers etc, so they feel at home.

“Thanks to Tracey, Elsa had a lovely evening sniffing around in the garden and snoozing. This was her first time after an initial visit where she met Tracey who asked about her needs and preferences and seemed happy to visit again. Excellent communication throughout, and reassuring to know she will be well looked after when we need dog care again. Thank you ☺️”
About: I've been fortunate enough to grow up around dogs. I regularly look after our family dog and have plenty experience with high energy working breeds. Particularly Border terriers and their escape artist tricks! I will provide a loving and caring environment for your furry family member as I would with my own family pets. I'm currently finishing my masters degree and transitioning back to work. My schedule is pretty flexible right now but I'm unable to book months in advance as I generally work away. When I'm not at work, dogs will have plenty of opportunities for walks and play throughout the day! I live in an ideal location within walking distance to Longsands beach, Northumberland park and traffic free walking routes. My flat is ground floor and I have a secure backyard for which I have sole use of. Your dog will be allowed free roam of the flat. My flat is a quiet environment so is ideal for nervous dogs. Due to my schedule I'm able to walk during quieter times of the day. I'm happy to go running with a dog if that is something that is suitable or spends a few hours on the beach playing fetch. I'm pretty active so will always ensure your dog has plenty of exercise opportunities. I will only look after 1 dog or dogs from the same family at a time. If your dog like company I can also introduce them to our working cocker who loves to play.
“We knew that our sproodle would struggle to settle initially, but Doug was great in providing updates and photos and eventually he settled and had a great time with Doug's family. We would thoroughly recommend Doug and look forward to booking another stay soon”
About: I've had plenty of experience when it comes to caring for dogs and cats. I am known for my calm energy, allowing even anxious pets or pets who typically are not friendly with humans to get well acquainted and settled in easily. I am confident to take care of multiple pets as well, with experience walking three dogs of the same household together. If your pet is up for it, I enjoy bringing them out for adventures in nature, going for longer walks or take them with me as I explore the outdoors - I’ve brought two sweet pups up for a hike in Cairngorms before, or taken another pup out for long walks along the Water of Leith (who can resist a good adventure?!). With lots of love to give, I've dog sit for my family, am a natural with animals and volunteered at animal rescues such as local SPCAs and a sanctuary with blind and deaf dogs. I have also fostered puppies, ministered medication and trained them simple commands like sit and paw. I spent countless hours at the local animal rescue as a kid with the animals and am comfortable caring for them. Would love to hear from you and meet more people around Whitley Bay (I've just moved here, but have had lots of sitting experience, starting in Stirling and Edinburgh!) Available for quick call or meet up if you'd like to see if I will be a good fit for your needs so that you can leave your pet in my care with peace of mind. I'd take time to know your pets' little behaviour quirks and would be open to follow any routine if you'd like. Some breeds I’ve taken care of include: Bigger dogs like Staffies, Huskies, Labradors, Collies, mixed breeds; mid sized dogs like Vizslas and smaller dogs like Schnauzers, Chihuahuas or ShihTzus. Rather flexible with fair notice time. Awaiting to begin a new role where I will be able to work from home 3 out of 5 weekdays, love having furry company on my adventures when I explore the outdoors. Also have a flexible and safe space to have your pet over for daycare. Absolutely love meeting new (pup and human) faces around the neighbourhood. Suitable for impromptu arrangements as well, do reach out! At yours, I will spend time with your pet, depending on their mood - whether they seem energetic to go for longer walks, or feeling more like staying at home for a grooming session. I will keep your pets' needs attuned and adapt accordingly or take care of them as per your instructions and routine. I will be sensitive to your pet's familiarity with me and build trust with your pet over time. I will make sure that safety for your pet will be of utmost priority especially when we go for walks, looking out for things in the environment that might be harmful and also be alert for other danger (eg. other dogs or cars). I pride myself in sending quality picture or message updates time to time so you can be assured that your pet is in safe hands!

About: I've had dogs since I was a child and I still look after friends and family dogs now. I love doing it. Nothing beats it. I currently work full time but I work from home so it really won't matter what time of the day it is. I'm always available. I have a fully fenced garden and it is huge. Your fur babies will have the run of the garden without the worry of escaping.
About: I always have dogs in my house, my own, and from family, friends or neighbors who would leave them with me anytime needed. I'm very used to walking dogs and taking great care of them! I'm currently a stay-at-home mom, so I can take the dogs for a walk, play in the yard, and keep them happy and safe all day long. I have a fenced yard and an old fury baby - Lilica (14 years old, but very active). I also can easily keep the dogs apart if needed.
About: Hi! I’m a calm, friendly dog lover based near the coast in North Shields. I’m responsible, reliable, and really attentive. I love getting to know each dog’s personality and making sure they feel safe and settled. I’ve raised my own dog since I found her at just 3 months old, and I’ve done all of her training myself. Because of that, I’ve spent a lot of time learning about positive training, routines, and what dogs need to feel happy and secure. I’m great at reading a dog’s mood, whether they’re full of zoomies and energy or more of a sleepy mood. I always focus on safety, comfort, and keeping to your dog’s usual routine so they feel at ease while you’re away. I’ll keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your dog is in really good hands. I work from home/ am currently in between roles so I can walk your dog whenever suits! I don’t mind popping in or having a mid afternoon walk. Happy to be specific with timings to help if you are in the office. I will take your lead on whatever you are comfortable with in terms of walks and care and act accordingly - eg lead or no lead. Also happy to do quieter routes if that better suits.
About: I’ve cared & been around dogs for over 17 years that have been all different ages and sizes! I have my own dog as well called Gino who is a character in him self! I currently work from home as I have my own business however I have a lot of free time that I’d like to utilise my time to be with furry friends! I have my own new build home with a gated garden and plenty of space. Lots of parks around my area for great walks and adventures.
“Lovely sitter with prompt communication beforehand and throughout and keen to have a thorough handover for any specific instructions, which was nice and reassuring. The girls came back happy and tired, having enjoyed some time at the beach! Would happily use Janet again. Thank you”
“Bonnie stayed with Kate and her family for a day and everybody was excellent with her. Bonnie can be a little nervous around new dogs, and Kate and her husband were excellent in letting Bonnie meet their retriever and another labrador staying before the day, then during the day gave Bonnie time to settle in and slowly start to spend time with the other dogs. Got updates during the day and I think Bonnie had a great time with lots of cuddles!”
About: Cat sitting + Clinical researcher - Newcastle upon Tyne, around Newcastle upon Tyne city centre till Howdon/Wallsend, UK Cats have been a part of my life since I was 11 years old, and my love for them has only grown over the years. Since moving to Newcastle, UK, I’ve helped friends care for their cats, and in 2017, I adopted my own beloved black cat who has been my loyal companion ever since. Through my experience, I’ve encountered & managed a diverse range of cat care situations, including: ✔ Feeding difficulties & picky eaters ✔ Managing constipation & digestive issues ✔ Post-surgery aftercare & recovery support ✔ Providing comfort, cuddles & companionship Cats are more than just pets to me, they are a fundamental part of my life... As a devoted cat lover, I understand their behaviours, emotions & needs. Being a cat sitter isn’t purely a job; it’s a passion... With a genuine heart for feline care, I am committed to ensuring every cat feels safe, comfortable & well cared for in my presence. As a dedicated cat sitter, I understand that every cat has a unique personality & their comfort, health is my top priority... Some cats are independent, while others need extra attention & reassurance - especially when faced with a new person. I take the time to build trust, ensuring each cat feels relaxed & at ease in my care. 🐾Tailored Care for Every Cat🐾 Clear communication with owners is essential to providing the best possible care. Whether your cat needs feeding, fresh water replenishment litter box maintenance, cuddles, grooming, medication administration (including injections), or close observation, I will follow your instructions carefully, thoroughly & attentively. Each visit usually lasts between 30 to 60 minutes, depending on your requests & your cat’s needs. 🐾Reliable & Transparent Service🐾 To give you peace of mind while you're away, I can send regular photos and videos - as many as you’d like! You can always stay updated & reassured about your cat’s well-being. 🐾Flexible & Trustworthy🐾 I am a permanent resident of Newcastle upon Tyne with a clear DBS check, ensuring reliability & trustworthiness. I am always open to learning and adapting to your cat’s specific needs. Any special requests, let’s discuss them...I’ll do my best to accommodate. Price is negotiable depending on travel time, requested timing & specific needs!!! Your cat’s happiness & well-being are my top priority. I’m here to provide loving, professional care. Let’s chat about how I can help... It depends. There will be a discussion with clients. Sometimes I work remotely, sometimes I am not. There will be the timetable for me in advance for clients to check prior to their decision to contact me. Alternatively, please contact me by email directly. We will schedule a meeting for the pet care. I am happy to cover all the areas in Newcastle upon Tyne. Different cat has different personality and behaviour towards loneliness and facing a stranger, even different attitudes towards female and male. Communicating with cat owners is also quite important to know how to take care of their cats and how to max my help. I hope every cat is the most comfortable around me. As long as owners tell me in brief or detail what treatments and services you need from me, I will let you know if I can do it or not, I will try and learn as much as I can to provide my service based on your cats' needs as my responsibility. By following the owner's instruction, I spend 30 - 40 mins/each visit with cats who need daily feeding, cuddling, combing, medication administration or/and injections and observation. Photos & videos are available to send to owners as needed.

About: I’ve owned dogs for 10+ years and worked with them for 4+. Insured/DBS checked. Experienced with many different breeds and age, and knowledgeable on dog behaviour and training. I am a full time dog walker, and pet sitter. I mostly have regular weekly clients for solo or group walks!

I have a lot of flexibility to pop back and forth for toilet trips, and their walks will be fit into my schedule.

About: After losing my beloved Alex, my cherished companion of many years, to old age, I’ve come to understand the profound bond between pets and their owners. Alex brought so much joy, comfort, and unconditional love into my life, and his passing left a space that only the presence of a furry friend can fill. This experience has inspired me to open my heart and home to other pets, offering them the same care, attention, and affection that I gave to Alex. I know firsthand the importance of patience, routine, and understanding when it comes to caring for pets, especially those who may be older or need extra support. Whether it’s a gentle walk, a cosy cuddle, or simply being there to provide companionship, I’m committed to ensuring every pet feels safe, loved, and valued. Let me help care for your pet with the same dedication and warmth that I gave to my dear Alex. Fully insured. As a part-time teacher, pet sitting complements my flexible schedule, allowing me to dedicate mornings, evenings, and weekends to walks, feeding, and cuddles, ensuring pets feel loved and secure. I have a big fenced garden as well as a garden room, my dog Alex was allowed to use the house as our humans do and I will treat any pet the same way.

About: Hello! I’m Abbey, I am 31 years old originally from Newcastle. I’ve taken care of and had dogs my whole life. I have a little cavapoo who I adore and I get to visit regularly. I love the companionship of dogs and I previously worked in a veterinary hospital, which remains my favourite job. I am extremely flexible and I’d love to look after your dog and give them all the love and affection! I work four days per week, however my job is extremely flexible and I work from home. So I can fully cater to a dogs needs and work them into my schedule. Finding time to dog walk is not a problem for me, I love being outside and it would be great company! I have a 3 bedroom home with an enclosed garden at the back, and sadly have no pets. I also have no children. I live 5 minutes walk from various dog friendly parks and a 5 minute drive to the beach in Tynemouth.
About: I've had plenty of experience when it comes to caring for dogs and cats. I am known for my calm energy, allowing even anxious pets or pets who typically are not friendly with humans to get well acquainted and settled in easily. I am confident to take care of multiple pets as well, with experience walking three dogs of the same household together. If your pet is up for it, I enjoy bringing them out for adventures in nature, going for longer walks or take them with me as I explore the outdoors - I’ve brought two sweet pups up for a hike in Cairngorms before, or taken another pup out for long walks along the Water of Leith (who can resist a good adventure?!). With lots of love to give, I've dog sit for my family, am a natural with animals and volunteered at animal rescues such as local SPCAs and a sanctuary with blind and deaf dogs. I have also fostered puppies, ministered medication and trained them simple commands like sit and paw. I spent countless hours at the local animal rescue as a kid with the animals and am comfortable caring for them. Would love to hear from you and meet more people around Whitley Bay (I've just moved here, but have had lots of sitting experience, starting in Stirling and Edinburgh!) Available for quick call or meet up if you'd like to see if I will be a good fit for your needs so that you can leave your pet in my care with peace of mind. I'd take time to know your pets' little behaviour quirks and would be open to follow any routine if you'd like. Some breeds I’ve taken care of include: Bigger dogs like Staffies, Huskies, Labradors, Collies, mixed breeds; mid sized dogs like Vizslas and smaller dogs like Schnauzers, Chihuahuas or ShihTzus. Rather flexible with fair notice time. Awaiting to begin a new role where I will be able to work from home 3 out of 5 weekdays, love having furry company on my adventures when I explore the outdoors. Also have a flexible and safe space to have your pet over for daycare. Absolutely love meeting new (pup and human) faces around the neighbourhood. Suitable for impromptu arrangements as well, do reach out! At yours, I will spend time with your pet, depending on their mood - whether they seem energetic to go for longer walks, or feeling more like staying at home for a grooming session. I will keep your pets' needs attuned and adapt accordingly or take care of them as per your instructions and routine. I will be sensitive to your pet's familiarity with me and build trust with your pet over time. I will make sure that safety for your pet will be of utmost priority especially when we go for walks, looking out for things in the environment that might be harmful and also be alert for other danger (eg. other dogs or cars). I pride myself in sending quality picture or message updates time to time so you can be assured that your pet is in safe hands!

“Another great stay for Dax. He absolutely loves his time with Rachel and Mabel which makes leaving him so much easier. Great communication and lots of photos are an added bonus 😃”
“Maeve looked after my dog Peanut for the weekend and he has had the best time! She has treated him like her own dog allowing him to have cuddles in bed and on the sofa! He had the best walk at the beach and the field playing with sticks. He’s come home very content. Would highly recommend Maeve and peanut would love to visit again!”
“I couldn't of asked for more from Anna, she looked after my dog Scrappy like he was her own. I left Scrappy with Anna for 4 days (3 nights) when we went away for a long weekend. After losing her own dog, and how upsetting it was for her she decided to start looking after other peoples dogs. Anna and her family were brilliant with my dog, long walks and lots of playing with him. Scrappy spent lots of time playing with her kids aswell, and trying to steal their food (he's just greedy boy). I recieved updates and photos daily. When I came to pick him up on the Sunday night, he didn't want to leave Anna's. I recieved one happy Jack Russell back. I will definatley be leaving Scrappy with Anna the next time we go away.”
“Thank you so much for having Marnie❤️ Marnie is 7 month old puppy who can sometimes be a handful and Jessica has looked after her so so well and we are really happy and will definitely book in with her again”
“As this was our fist real weekend away from Stan, we were both nervous. By meeting Tracey before booking, it made the whole process a lot easier and getting to know both Tracey and Stu beforehand put our minds at rest. Stan had a fantastic time staying with them. We received daily updates and pictures so it was easier to enjoy our holiday knowing our little man was being well looked after. It was clear they have a strong love for animals and a lot of knowledge too having previously grown up with and owning big dogs in the past. We knew Stan would be in great hands and we can’t thank them enough for making this whole process as easy as possible for the dog and humans”
“Thank you Kirsty for being there at such short notice and for being willing to have Fezziwig. We could totally relax knowing he was in your care as he loves his walks and snuggles with you. You really do take dogs into your home as if they were your very own and doggies and their owners so appreciate that. Thank you.”
“We had such a great experience leaving Vader with them and honestly couldn’t have asked for better care From the start they were friendly, polite, and really easy to communicate with, which made the whole process feel stress-free. While we were away, they kept us updated with regular photos and videos, which we really appreciated, and it was so reassuring to see how happy and settled he was. It was obvious Vader was completely comfortable and having the best time (I genuinely think he would’ve happily stayed longer!!) They really embraced his personality as well, even his obsession with bringing his collection of sticks in the house lol, which made it feel like he was properly understood and cared for, not just “looked after.” When we picked him up he was absolutely exhausted, which says everything; clearly lots of walks, playtime, and attention. We wont hesitate to book with them again and would 100% recommend them to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and genuinely great with dogs”
“Lauren was very accommodating especially with my loose timeframes which was very helpful and very much appreciated! Ralphy had a good stay and got to interact with another dog which definitely helped his own anxiety of being left! Lauren helped my own anxiety by sending updates over text and was super nice throughout! Would hugely recommend to everyone 😁”

Ros and Charles certainly made us feel at ease and comforted that our precious pet would be cared for. We would not hesitate to have Obi stay with Ros and Charles again and already have his next little holiday booked in with them.”

“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!”
“Holly was an absolute champion, helping me out with no notice at all when another sitter fell through and I needed to arrange an SOS. My mind was put at ease immediately and the updates were fantastic. I was comforted knowing how much fun the dog was having, getting to run at the beach and being looked after impeccably. Thank you and would definitely recommend”
