“Ciara was kindly able to help me out at short notice for a one night stay. Polo came home happy and seemed to really have enjoyed his time with her. Ciara obviously took great care of him and I wouldn’t hesitate to use her services again.”
About: Since loosing my beloved doggy Winston earlier in the year, I have made the decision to care and love other people’s fur babies rather than get another dog. I absolutely love dogs and care for them to a very high standard. I have been on websites such as Borrow my Doggy and due to my popularity on this site, I have begun the process of setting up an official dog boarding service. I could spend every day with a dog and be very happy! Winston had diabetes and went blind. I have experience in caring for dogs who require daily injections and diet management aswell as sensory support. I have cared for dogs who are deaf and dogs both young and old. I love to walk and will tailor walk lengths to the dogs capabilities. I live in a detached house with large rear garden that is secure. I can offer both week day and weekend support. I also like to go the extra mile for those I meet and the dogs I care for. I have cared for a dog with ongoing medical needs and understand how costs can be crippling. I would be happy to offer support at short notice or services such as an extended day support or pick up and drop offs. I have cared for a variety of different breeds and love them all! I can support owners with more than one dog 🐾🐶 I can offer overnight support across week days and weekends, day care support and walks. I will also support over bank holidays if I am available. I cannot offer day support on a Wednesday or night time support on a tuesday night. This can be adapted if your dog can have periods of time unsupervised (for example they are staying for a few days whilst owners are on holiday). I have a large secure rear garden where your dog can play and get some fresh air. My house is detached and we have no issue with barkers ! The downstairs is open plan which is positive for doggy supervision. I offer home from home services and will tailor my support to what you need. I live by a nice park where I will walk the dogs or if possible, take them slightly further afield to the race course or places such as loggerheads. I’ve catered for dogs who have slept on the bed as this is what they do at home 😂 I will adapt the support I provide to what your dog does at home.
About: I have taken care of family and friends dogs for a long time. I also walk an elderly ladies dog through the Cinnamon Trust. I love spending time with dogs. I'm currently taking a summer break from work after 20 years, therefore I have plenty of time to spend with your animals. I enjoy walking dogs in the park right by my house. I have a fenced decent sized garden for pets to enjoy. I enjoy a walk in the local park and fields for them to enjoy. I enjoy spending time with pets and I' very trusted to look after and care for them.
“We can't fault the care Wida showed our dog. We were worried as her dog Peanut was larger but he is very soft, playful and gentle. Our dog went on long walks with plenty of well taken photos which reassured us and they accommodated him into their home without any stress for anyone. He was very chilled when we got him back.”
“I felt incredibly grateful for the love, attention, and care Sinem gave Sirius 🐶 She kept us updated with photos and videos throughout the day, which made me feel completely at ease 📸😊 Sirius looked happy, relaxed, and clearly in safe hands 🐾 It means so much to know he’s in such good hands. Thank you, Sinem! 🙏🌟”
“This was our first time leaving Teddy with a boarder and I feel like we have made a great pick with Artur and Wioleta! They have been great in wanting to meet him and have a trial stay before a longer stay later in the year. A real home from home environment 😊”
“Thanks for looking after him so well. Hes got a lot of energy and can find it hard to settle but you made him feel at home. Great comunication, loved seeing the photos and videos and knowing he was happy there.”
“Sarah took such good care of Ebenezer and sent pictures of him so I knew he was having a good time! She really put my mind at ease and I could tell she cared for him the same as she cared for her own sweet dog. The two of them got along great, too! Highly recommended.”
About: I’ve been a reliable dog sitter for friends, family, and have always had dogs in the house since I was little! I have experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and energy levels, providing walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of affection. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, interactive play, or simply relaxing with company, I'm happy to tailor my care to what makes them feel comfortable and happy 😊 I work from home as a freelancer, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to be available throughout the day for pet care. I can easily accommodate morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend visits. My flexible routine means I can adapt to your pet's schedule and ensure they receive reliable, attentive care while you're away. I will always follow the owner's instructions carefully to keep their routine as consistent as possible. I also have a large fenced in garden with lots of open space for them to play and roam, as well as being next to lots of walking areas. I provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away.
“Pablo has had a great time with Celine and her family. He has been well looked after and Celine is very helpful, accommodating when our plans changed. Pablo has stayed with Celine a number of times now and always looks happy and confident in the regular pictures and videos and messages we received. I would highly recommend Celine as a DogBuddy as she is a brilliant and kind person who will take great care of your pet.”

“Loretta watched my dog for 23 days, and she was absolutely wonderful! She took fantastic care of my fur baby, sent regular updates, and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. My dog was so happy and well-cared for. I couldn't have asked for a better sitter. I highly recommend Loretta and would definitely book with her again!”
About: We’re a family of four, with me and my three children aged 9, 12 and 14, plus our very friendly cocker spaniel, Oreo. We’re a busy, active family who love getting outdoors, going for walks and exploring, so dogs naturally fit into our lifestyle. Oreo is a much-loved part of the family and really enjoys having company, so we’re excited to welcome other friendly dogs into our home and give them lots of love, attention and a real family experience while they stay with us. Your dog won’t be treated like they’re in kennels — they’ll be welcomed as part of our family and included in our normal family life. There are plenty of cuddles, attention, walks and garden time, with someone around for most of the day. I know how difficult it can be leaving your dog with someone else, so I want to make the experience as relaxed and reassuring as possible. I’ve used Rover for dog care myself for years, so I know how important it is to find someone you can really trust with your dog. I understand the reassurance that comes from regular updates, photos and knowing your dog is happy, safe and being well cared for while you’re away. Oreo is very much part of our family, so we’re looking for friendly dogs who would enjoy a fun, relaxed family home and a canine companion. 🐶 I’d love to arrange a meet-and-greet first to make sure your dog and Oreo get along and that we’re the right fit for each other. ❤️ Our Schedule I welcome dogs at weekends and during school holidays. As a teacher, this means I’ll have plenty of time to give them lots of attention and make them part of our family plans. We love getting out and about for walks, exploring forests, visiting the beach and having little adventures, so your dog can come along and enjoy it all with us. Our Environment We live in a cosy, small family home with a secure, fenced garden where dogs can safely potter around, play and relax. It’s a relaxed, welcoming home environment rather than a kennel setting, and we’re happy for dogs to settle into our usual family routine — including plenty of sofa cuddles!
“I cannot recommend Viviene highly enough! She took such wonderful care of my sprocker, Penny, and treated her as if she were her own. Penny absolutely loved her time with Viviene, from the lovely long walks to all the care and attention she received, it was clear she was in the best hands. Viviene is not only reliable and professional, but also genuinely kind and loving with dogs, which gave me complete peace of mind while Penny was with her. It’s easy to see how much she truly cares for the animals she looks after. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and amazing with dogs, Viviene is the perfect choice. I’ll definitely be booking with her again, thank you so much for looking after Penny so brilliantly!”
“Michael and Val were exceptional hosts for our Jessie, she was treated very well and we had regular updates of all of the walks they went on. Would very much recommend. Thanks again.”

“Mel was fab with our wee cat (who is usually quite stand offish with strangers!) and sent regular pictures the whole time we were away. Came back to a very happy cat! :) So reassured by her help we’ve just booked her again. :-)”
“Thank you Tarrah for house sitting for Jess whilst we were away! We got lots of updates with photos and videos and conract if there were any concerns. Tarrah took the time to let Jess come to her on her terms as she is a timid cat and I think they were firm friends by the end of the week. We returned to a settled cat and clean home. Thanks again 😻”
“Laura is fantastic! That's cats loved her. Laura would come in, feed them, clean the litter trays and play with them. She kept me up to date and contacted me if there were any issues. I recommend Laura!”
“Nia did an amazing job looking after my fur daughter Leona. I was worried about leaving Leona alone for a few days since she can be a bit needy but was very relieved when Nia sent me such detailed notes and pictures. She's super responsive and I really appreciate how flexible she was with having to last minute book another drop in due to family emergency.”
“Leah gave an excellent first impression and was indeed as competent as she appeared. The cats got on very well, and she was patient with my more nervous feline and made friends. I would be very pleased to have Leah look after my cats again.”
“Kristine was great. She was very organised and ensured that everything was as we had discussed. She spent time with the cats and sent some super photos. I would highly recommend her.”
About: Have been a cat sitter once before for a senior cat Willow and grew up with one adorable tabby cat! I understand how important it is to look after your babies so I make sure to always keep an eye on them if they are outside and am happy to walk them on a leash and harness if that’s something you do!
“Morag was absolutely wonderful looking after our indoor cat, she was really intentional about making sure she learnt about him beforehand and that we were a right fit for eachother, and sent plenty of updates and pics while we were away. Couldn’t recommend more!”
“Lauren was very professional and reassuring. She covered my cat's feeding and her insulin injection. She is a natural with cats, my spoiled Diva Tilly took to her straight away. Have already rebooked and would reccommend.”
“Lauren has dog sat for our 3 Maltese dogs on numerous occasions and the dogs love her. She is very reliable and professional, very easy to deal with, asked all the right questions and clearly understood our dogs needs. We would definitely recommend her and will be booking her again!”
“Isabella is a pleasant young woman and obviously loves animals. She looked after our 2 tabbies, including giving one of them medication, while we were away for a few days, and kept us up to date with photos and videos. We returned to happy, well cared for cats.”
“Ellena has gone above and beyond in every way! Our 1yo cat utterly adored her. Ellena was a reassuring and friendly face for the cat. Ellena sent thorough updates every visit, was timely and always on hand. I couldn't recommend Ellena's services enough. Thank you very much! ✨️✨️✨️✨️”
“I couldn't have asked for a better cat sitter :-). My cat took to Eli straight away, which rarely happens as she's quite a nervous cat. It put my mind at ease and it was clear that Eli has a genuine love for animals. Eli was super reliable and sent messages and photos daily so that I knew my cat was happy and being well cared for. She fed her, played with her and gave her lots of cuddles. I'd highly recommend Eli to anyone looking for a pet sitter and will definitely use her again.”
About: I have over three years of dedicated experience caring for cats of all ages and temperaments, including volunteering at a local cat rescue. During that time, I provided daily care, socialisation, and medical support to cats in need—administering medications, monitoring health, and ensuring a clean, stress-free environment. I’m passionate about creating a calm and loving space where each cat feels safe and understood. My attention to detail, patience, and commitment ensure every cat is happy, healthy, and comfortable under my care.
“Thomas accommodated my last minute booking and set my mind at ease leaving my cats for a few days. He is very attentive and the cats loved him! I will always book Thomas when I go away. I couldn't be happier. He is really nice and I came home to happy cats and a clean area!”

“Jenna agreed to a Meet and Greet beforehand so Ria knew where she was going. Ria is very nervous. Jenna sent a message to indicate she was settling and responding to Jenna and her family which was good. The photo on the Report card unfortunately just shows as black.”
“Alan did an excellent job looking after my dog. He was friendly, reliable, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. From the moment we met, I felt confident my dog was in safe hands. My dog came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for. I really appreciated Alan’s kindness and professionalism throughout. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their dog, and I’ll definitely be using his services again.”
“Michael was very flexible and a responsive communicator. He looked after our dog during the day when we had a long day out with family and were worried about leaving her for too long. We needn’t have worried, she had a lovely time and he was very responsive to her needs. We got her back happy and relaxed, we would book with him again.”

“I really recommend Francesca to anyone looking for a dog sitter! She looked after Barney whilst me and my partner were at work and we had one very happy dog at the end of the day when we picked him up! We were updated regularly about how Barney was doing and got pictures of what he was up to during the day. Barney was very comfortable and was even so excited to go back the next day! She was so lovely and made sure Barney was happy, comfortable and had a fun-filled day with her puppy Ollie! Barney is a dachshund too and it was so reassuring that Francesca had prior experience with the breed! Thank you Francesca! We can’t wait to rebook☺️”

As a dog owner, I have a deep understanding of canine behavior, routines, and needs.

“We had the best rover experience with Rosie! She made us feel so comfortable leaving our nervous dog Lady for the day. She was so welcoming and sent loads of photos and videos throughout the day. She gave Lady a wonderful time, playing in her garden and going for a walk in the countryside. Thank you so much Rosie.”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fiona was fantastic with Willow, and we would happily book with her again. We reached out with only a couple of days' notice when we were planning a visit to Chester Zoo, and Fiona was incredibly accommodating from the start. She was flexible with timings, allowing us to drop Willow off towards the later end of our agreed window and collect her at the latest possible time, which made planning our day so much easier. Throughout the process, Fiona was friendly, responsive, and easy to coordinate with. Willow spent the day with Fiona, her own dog Luna, and another dog she was caring for called Rosie. While we were naturally a little cautious about introducing Willow to new dogs, Fiona's confidence and experience gave us reassurance, and she was absolutely right. Luna and Rosie turned out to be the perfect companions for our energetic one-year-old Golden Retriever, providing a great balance of play and calmness throughout the day. Fiona kept us updated with regular photos and videos, which allowed us to see just how much fun Willow was having and helped us relax and enjoy our day out. The updates, combined with Fiona's obvious understanding of dog behaviour and group dynamics, gave us complete confidence that Willow was in excellent hands. The biggest sign of how successful the day was came when we picked Willow up. She was calm, happy, relaxed, and pleasantly tired after a day of fun and stimulation. It's clear that Fiona genuinely cares about the dogs she looks after and creates a safe, positive environment for them. If we're ever back in Chester, Fiona will be one of the first people we contact for dog care. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, reliable, and caring sitter.”
“Rebecca did an excellent job. The hound was very happy with her. The second day when we took him again to her house he went in with a waggy tail. Rebecca was easy to communicate with and she sent photos to reassure us that he was having a nice time. Would highly recommend.”
“Anna was great, Sherlock was a very happy boy after his day. Anna helped us out at very last minute, even when she already had plans but made it work and looked after Sherlock perfectly, he went straight to sleep the moment we got him home.”
“Celine was absolutely fantastic with our 8 year old Yorkie Betty. Incredibly accommodating to us on very short notice and the pictures and videos throughout the day showed a very happy and content little doggy. Thank you so much!”

“Tarrah has met the boys a few times now and they have really taken to her and settled with her. She is great with both their different needs, one old and one with lots of energy”
About: Hey there! I’m Sinem. For the past nine years, Barney, my beloved companion, has been at the center of my world. Also, growing up, I was fortunate enough to share my home with both cats and dogs. Barney isn't your typical easygoing dog; he's got his own personality and quirks, which have taught me patience, resilience :) He is neutered and love playing with small-mid size dogs! Navigating life with Barney has given me a wealth of experience in understanding and caring for pets . Now, I'm excited to share my expertise and affection with your furry family members. Whether it's a playful romp in the park, a cozy snuggle session on the couch, rest assured, your pets will be treated with the same love and care as my own. I am currently at home full-time, live with my husband Sahincan. He is working full time but he supports me during his free times. We have a big park next to our home, generally we are spending our days at the park with Barney. We have a small fenced garden that is safe for your pet, and pets are allowed on the sofa and bed in our home. Please let us know your dog’s daily routine so that he/she can feel at home and adapt easily.
“Couldn't recommend Nia enough. Punctual, professional and always likes walking the dogs. She has gained a regular customer in me so if you're wondering definitely give Nia a try”

About: Hi! I’m a reliable and caring pet lover based in Chester, currently working as an animal keeper, so caring for animals is a huge part of my everyday life. I have hands-on experience working with a variety of animals and understand the importance of patience, routine, and making pets feel safe and comfortable. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, administering basic care, or simply giving them lots of attention and affection, I’ll treat your pet like my own. I’m confident with different breeds, sizes, and personalities, and I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in safe hands. Pet care is a natural and rewarding part of my daily routine. As an animal keeper, I’m already dedicated to providing consistent, high-quality care for animals every day. Outside of work, I care for my own pets, making sure they receive all the love, attention, and structure they need to stay happy and healthy. Balancing professional animal care with personal pet sitting keeps my days full of purpose, compassion, and happy paws. When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping them comfortable, secure, and happy in their familiar environment. I follow each pet’s established routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions, ensuring minimal disruption to their normal schedule. I provide plenty of affection, enrichment, and attention while also keeping their space clean and safe. I also stay in close contact with owners, sending regular updates and photos so they can feel confident their pets are well cared for while they’re away.
About: I'm a 29-year-old woman who currently works as a street performer which gives me excellent flexibility when it comes to giving your dogs their much-needed energy release. I have a huge love for dogs due to me having lived with four dogs for over a year and I have a particular soft spot for french bulldogs. (I mean, who doesn't?) Big or small I will walk your pooch until they are tired enough to give the ground a smooch! I have volunteered at my Grandmother's animal shelter in New Zealand years ago so I am sufficient in caring for animals, even when there are a lot of them. I go to the gym almost daily so I am physically fit to walk any animal big or small, young or old. I also have volunteered with helping charities raise money and I've used my many artistic skills to help do this. I am perfectly happy to pop into your home and feed the dog(s) before or after the walk if that is required of me, or I can stay overnight at your home to give your pet some extra company for a charge of £25 per night. I hope you find me a good candidate for walking for your furry friend(s)! Hope to hear from you soon! Ellena Mackay. I am self employed and have pet sitting as my main form of income as I squeeze busking and gig work around it. I walk and take public transport so as long as you are nearby I am happy to take care of your pets! I will not be dog boarding as I live in a rental, I will follow any instructions for pet care in their own home where they will be the most comfortable.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 10 years, looking after not only my own pets but also those of neighbours, friends, and family. My experience includes feeding, walking, playtime, drop-in visits, and overnight stays, ensuring pets feel happy, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I’m also a proud dog owner myself. My 8-year-old French Bulldog, Monty, has taught me just how important it is to find someone trustworthy and reliable to care for your pet. I treat every dog as if they were my own, providing plenty of attention, affection, and personalised care to suit their individual needs. As I work remotely and manage my own schedule, I have the flexibility to be available for daytime walks, drop-in visits, companionship throughout the day, and overnight stays. This allows me to give your pet the time, care, and attention they deserve while keeping their routine as consistent as possible. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine as I work remotely and have a flexible schedule. This allows me to plan my day around the needs of the pets I’m caring for, whether that’s morning walks, daytime check-ins, playtime, feeding, or overnight stays. As a dog owner myself, caring for animals is already a big part of my everyday life. I enjoy being active outdoors and spending time with dogs, so making sure they receive plenty of exercise, attention, and companionship throughout the day is something I genuinely enjoy. My flexible working hours also mean I can adapt to your pet’s usual routine and provide consistent, reliable care while you’re away. I provide pet care both in the owner’s home and, where suitable, in my own home. I generally prefer caring for pets in their own home, as it keeps them in a familiar, comfortable, and low-stress environment and allows them to maintain their normal routine. I also have an 8-year-old French Bulldog, so my home is shared with another friendly dog, which can be a great fit for sociable pets. At my home, I have a secure fenced front and back garden with space for dogs to play and go to the bathroom, as well as close access to local walking trails for regular walks and exercise. For boarding, I can also offer stays at a second, dog-free home when needed, providing a calm environment for pets who prefer space without other dogs around. In all cases, my priority is making sure each pet feels safe, settled, and well cared for, with plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship.
About: My name is Patka (short for Patricia), and animals have been woven into the fabric of my life since childhood. I grew up surrounded by the gentle giants of the dog world—Caucasian Shepherds—and the elegant companionship of Persian cats. When my family moved to the countryside, I discovered my calling: rescuing cats from the bushes and giving them the love they deserved. At one point, our home was a joyful chaos of 7 dogs and 5 cats, and I wouldn't have had it any other way. I've had the privilege of caring for breeds of all temperaments and sizes—from the powerful Cane Corso to the delicate Yorkshire Terrier, from playful Poodles and French Bulldogs to loyal Czechoslovakian Wolfdogs. When it comes to cats, I've loved them all—Siamese, Persian, Sphynx—though Maine Coons and Ragdolls hold a special place in my heart. Two years ago, I lost my soul dog, a Maltese rescue who taught me what unconditional love truly means. The ache of that loss reminds me every day how precious our time with our furry companions is, and it's made me even more devoted to ensuring every pet feels safe, loved, and cherished. Currently on sabbatical from my career in marketing and PR, I'm fully available to give your pets the attention they deserve. I'd love nothing more than to take your dogs on adventures through the neighborhood, engage your cats in playful sessions with their favorite toys, and shower them all with the affection and care they need while you're away. Your pets aren't just animals to me—they're family, and I'll treat them as such. Since I'm currently on sabbatical, pet care isn't something I'm trying to squeeze into my routine—it is my routine, and I love it that way. Without the constraints of a traditional work schedule, I have the flexibility to be there whenever your pets need me. My days revolve around the animals in my care. Morning walks when the world is still quiet, midday play sessions when energy is high, evening cuddles when it's time to wind down—I structure my time around what your pets need to thrive. If your dog loves an early morning jog or your cat prefers interactive play at sunset, I'm there for it. I'm also available for last-minute bookings, extended stays, or those times when life throws you a curveball and you need someone reliable on short notice. Whether you need daily visits, overnight care, or someone to simply be present throughout the day, I have the time and dedication to give your pets consistent, unhurried attention. Whether I'm caring for your pets in your home or welcoming them into mine, their safety and comfort are my absolute priorities. In Your Home: I understand that inviting someone into your space requires trust, and I don't take that lightly. I treat your home with the utmost respect—keeping it secure, maintaining your pet's established routines, and following your specific instructions to the letter. I'll send you regular photo and video updates so you can see your furry family members thriving while you're away. Your pets stay in their familiar environment where they feel most secure, surrounded by their own toys, beds, and the comforting scents of home. In My Home: Currently without pets of my own, I can offer your animals my undivided attention in a calm, pet-friendly environment. My space is safe, clean, and adaptable to your pet's needs—whether that means creating cozy nooks for a shy cat or ensuring a secure area for an energetic dog. I maintain the same routines your pets are used to, so the transition feels as seamless as possible. Above all, I believe in transparency and communication. I'm always reachable, and I'll keep you informed about how your pets are doing.

About: Since loosing my beloved doggy Winston earlier in the year, I have made the decision to care and love other people’s fur babies rather than get another dog. I absolutely love dogs and care for them to a very high standard. I have been on websites such as Borrow my Doggy and due to my popularity on this site, I have begun the process of setting up an official dog boarding service. I could spend every day with a dog and be very happy! Winston had diabetes and went blind. I have experience in caring for dogs who require daily injections and diet management aswell as sensory support. I have cared for dogs who are deaf and dogs both young and old. I love to walk and will tailor walk lengths to the dogs capabilities. I live in a detached house with large rear garden that is secure. I can offer both week day and weekend support. I also like to go the extra mile for those I meet and the dogs I care for. I have cared for a dog with ongoing medical needs and understand how costs can be crippling. I would be happy to offer support at short notice or services such as an extended day support or pick up and drop offs. I have cared for a variety of different breeds and love them all! I can support owners with more than one dog 🐾🐶 I can offer overnight support across week days and weekends, day care support and walks. I will also support over bank holidays if I am available. I cannot offer day support on a Wednesday or night time support on a tuesday night. This can be adapted if your dog can have periods of time unsupervised (for example they are staying for a few days whilst owners are on holiday). I have a large secure rear garden where your dog can play and get some fresh air. My house is detached and we have no issue with barkers ! The downstairs is open plan which is positive for doggy supervision. I offer home from home services and will tailor my support to what you need. I live by a nice park where I will walk the dogs or if possible, take them slightly further afield to the race course or places such as loggerheads. I’ve catered for dogs who have slept on the bed as this is what they do at home 😂 I will adapt the support I provide to what your dog does at home.
“We can't fault the care Wida showed our dog. We were worried as her dog Peanut was larger but he is very soft, playful and gentle. Our dog went on long walks with plenty of well taken photos which reassured us and they accommodated him into their home without any stress for anyone. He was very chilled when we got him back.”
“This was our first time leaving Teddy with a boarder and I feel like we have made a great pick with Artur and Wioleta! They have been great in wanting to meet him and have a trial stay before a longer stay later in the year. A real home from home environment 😊”
“Thanks for looking after him so well. Hes got a lot of energy and can find it hard to settle but you made him feel at home. Great comunication, loved seeing the photos and videos and knowing he was happy there.”
“Sarah took such good care of Ebenezer and sent pictures of him so I knew he was having a good time! She really put my mind at ease and I could tell she cared for him the same as she cared for her own sweet dog. The two of them got along great, too! Highly recommended.”

I have experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and energy levels, providing walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of affection.

I can easily accommodate morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend visits. My flexible routine means I can adapt to your pet's schedule and ensure they receive reliable, attentive care while you're away. I will always follow the owner's instructions carefully to keep their routine as consistent as possible. I also have a large fenced in garden with lots of open space for them to play and roam, as well as being next to lots of walking areas. I provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away.
“Pablo has had a great time with Celine and her family. He has been well looked after and Celine is very helpful, accommodating when our plans changed. Pablo has stayed with Celine a number of times now and always looks happy and confident in the regular pictures and videos and messages we received. I would highly recommend Celine as a DogBuddy as she is a brilliant and kind person who will take great care of your pet.”

“Loretta watched my dog for 23 days, and she was absolutely wonderful! She took fantastic care of my fur baby, sent regular updates, and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. My dog was so happy and well-cared for. I couldn't have asked for a better sitter. I highly recommend Loretta and would definitely book with her again!”

They provided regular updates which was really reassuring given it was my pups first boarding experience. Couldn't recommend highly enough and my two are already looking forward to their next visit!”
“Buster had a great time. We were so grateful Patricia could accommodate him last minute while we were away for the week! We had regular updates and Buster was very well looked after x I would 100% recommend Patricia x thank you so much x”
