“Murphy had the best time with Bradley. They cared for him like he was their own. Sent me loads of pics and updates to reassure me. Murphy has some quirks and is scared and anxious so he needs people attentive to things that may scare or trigger him and they were brilliant. Definately recommend and I have him booked in again already.”

“Veronika and her lovely family looked after Che as if she was their own well loved family pet. She had a very nice sleepover with lots of cuddles and walks. Veronika was very kind and sent pictures and updates. I especially liked the picture of Che making friends with a cat.”


“A fabulous stay for our beloved dog who had a wonderful time. A real home from home with lots of walks, love and cuddles. Excellent communication whilst we were away to know he was content. Highly recommend.”


“Basil had a fabulous weekend, such a happy doggy when we picked him up. There is an enclosed garden for him to play in and was treated like part of the family, Joe and Helen are certainly dog lovers and sure any dog they look after they will go above and beyond to make your fur baby feel at home from home. Basil was walked and had plenty of toys to keep him entertained. I would give this couple 5 stars and highly recommended. We shall certainly be booking them again.”


About: I have grown up and lived with dogs most of my life. I have had a mixture of breeds that have been recused or from a pup including: Border Collie, Labrador, Bichon Frise, Shichon and a Miniature Schnauzer. Each has his own personality and I have experience of caring and walking up to four dogs at a time! I work full-time at a local school, so I don't currently have a dog of my own during the workweek. But as a lifelong dog lover, I’m always excited to care for dogs during weekends and school holidays when I can give them my full attention. My house is a second home when looking after peoples dogs so I am happy to cater to any needs. When family and friends dogs visit they are safe and secure. My house has a gate to the backroom and a secure (fenced) back garden. I am happy for pets to sleep up or downstairs. I live in a village so I am surrounded by lots of field walks.

“Layla had such an amazing time with Suzy and her family. She looked after her so well and we couldn't have wished for anyone better. Suzy is so caring and thoughtful and goes the extra mile. Layla is an older lady and has medication but Suzy was happy to do all of that without any issues. We would happy use Suzy again and would highly recommend her, she really is a fantastic dog sitter.”


“Christine was brilliant! She couldn’t have been more helpful from the start of the whole process in trying to find someone to look after our Yorkshire Terrier. Our dog loved her and from all the fab photos and videos, she looked to have had a great time! A big thank you, would highly recommend!”


“This is the first time I have tried this service for looking after dogs as an alternative to kennels. Sarah suggested that I bought Jack my border terrier to her premises before making the booking to see if there were any apprehensions, she made Jack feel at home straight away which eased any doubts I had about this type of dog sitting. Sarah has been superb with Jack throughout his stay,keeping me informed by text of his daily routine and sending me occasional photos of jack which showed him being cuddled and well attended too. I can thoroughly recommend Sarah for her care and love of dogs and I won't hesitate to use her again to look after Jack.”


“Zuzanna was lovely, she wanted to know my Dogs routine, needs etc my dog is special needs and Zuzanna was able to support Max and he settled well with her. I would definitely book Zuzanna again and recommend her.”


About: With over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes—from tiny Chihuahuas to lovable Golden Retrievers—I’ve developed a deep understanding of each dog’s unique personality and needs. My journey started when my brother brought home a puppy, and caring for him quickly became second nature. Since then, I’ve become the go-to sitter for friends, family, and local pet owners who value my reliability, frequent updates, and genuine love for dogs. What sets me apart is that I’m home full-time during the week, giving your dog plenty of attention, long walks, and companionship throughout the day. I treat every dog like family and strive to make them feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Being home all day every day means pet care naturally fits into my routine. I’m able to give dogs plenty of attention, regular walks, and a calm, consistent environment throughout the day. Whether it’s sticking to a specific feeding schedule, providing company and playtime, or just being a reassuring presence, I’m here for it. My flexible schedule also means I can often help out at short notice—perfect for last-minute plans or unexpected changes. Your dog will never feel like they’re waiting for company—I’m here, ready, and happy to welcome them in. Safety and trust are at the heart of how I care for every pet. Whether I’m welcoming your dog into my home or looking after them in yours, I treat them with the same level of attention and care I’d give my own. In my home, I create a calm, dog-friendly space where pets can feel secure and relaxed, with plenty of love, structure, and supervised time outdoors. If I’m in your home, I respect your space and routines, making sure your pet stays comfortable in their familiar environment. I keep things clean, follow instructions carefully, and provide regular updates so you always know how your dog is doing. My goal is to make your time away stress-free—for both you and your pet.

About: I have owned and trained dogs since I was 10 years old. When my dear cocker spaniel Sweep passed away in 2018 I couldn't face replacing him and decided to fill the gap left in my life by borrowing dogs from friends and neighbours. I have had 3 extended families of dogs as long-term fur buddies (four Pugs, five English Cockers, a Cockerpoo, and a Labrador); I have walked and provide holiday sitting for these doggies. In 2021 I adopted a retired English Cocker from stud (Paulo) and he was the most laidback chap; he went with me everywhere and was an extra companion for my doggie friends. Sadly Paulo passed away in February 2025 so I have more time for dog sitting and walking. I retired 18 months ago and decided to care for dogs to keep me fit and happy so my time is my own. I prefer to walk my doggies at lunchtime and only walk one dog (or a family group of dogs) a day for a minimum of 1 hour; I never rush my dogs and I don't clock-watch. I always have a good supply of dry clean towels to towel-off wet and muddy dogs. I also really enjoy dog sitting dogs but I believe they need time to get to know and trust me. So If you'd like me to be your dog sitter then your furry friend will need to come for walkies with me before-hand; this is kinder for the dog and it's what I would want for my dog. I only do walkies on the lead. I walk up to 4 dogs but only from the same home pack so that there are no fights. If you would like me to sit your dog/s I will always follow your dog's routine and I'm happy to sleep with dogs that need human company. I have a dog and a cat at home although the cat stays away from dog visitors. I have a fully fenced secure back garden, and a heated garden room which is my den and home to my dog visitors. I only have dog visitors that know me and Paulo well so long-term walkers and sitters only please.

“Jimmy spent a second weekend with Viktorija and family and had great time . He enjoyed playing with the kids and the family was very accommodating. Thank you so much.”


David G.
“I highly recommend Dave as a dog walker and pet sitter. I call him “the dog whisperer “ as he has such a calming persona which seems to transfer to the dog. For many years, Dave walked our much loved Labrador, Jack. Jack absolutely adored him and the feeling I know was mutual. Everyday Jack would wait excitedly for Dave to arrive and they would have a lovely time walking in the park or by the river. Jack could be at challenge at times but I was always confident that Dave would be able to manage his (as he called it) - handbags at dawn behaviour. Dave has a key to our home and has often let our x2 Labradors out as well as feeding them. He would always spend extra some time with them so they were happy and relaxed when he left. So, if you are looking for someone to look after your fur babies I would suggest you give him a call - you’ll be glad you did!”
