“Thanks again to Lidia and Malcolm for giving Bella such a beautiful stay. She was so happy and calm when I collected her today and she’s obviously been given lots of lovely attention and made to feel very at home. Lidia was very in touch throughout Bella’s stay and was incredibly understanding when a cancelled flight meant we had to pick Bella up late. We recommend this dog sitting team, and hope to be back!”

“First time we had left Peppa and it was amazing. Peppa allowed to sleep on the bed like she does with me at home. Very accommodating, professional service. Excellent, definitely recommend.”

“Matt and Zoe were wonderful with Jolene! They walked her miles, showered her with treats, and really made a giant fuss of her. They were friendly and proactive in communication with us, and sent us loads of photos of our sweet girl.”

“Daisy 2nd day care with Liv and she had so much fun playing with her doggies going on a little adventure walk and overall just having doggy fun. Lots of updates which is always lovely helps out my mind at rest as I hate leaving her but I know she is in safe and loving hands. Thanks Liv xx”

“Jess was made to feel part of the family once again and had a wonderful time with Caragh in the family home and on the farm. Our senior dog was recently diagnosed with a serious heart condition which needed to be regulated with medication and Caragh seamlessly undertook this as part of Jess’ care. To be able to leave your family pet in such capable and caring hands is amazing. A huge thank you to Caragh for looking after Jess and making her feel much loved and cared for part of the family ☺️”

“This was our first time leaving Nara with James, I was more than happy with the care they gave her whilst being there. I was sent photos of her throughout the day, she had made herself very comfortable in their home. I have already made 2 more bookings with him and would gladly recommend him.”

“Pete is a genuinely lovely guy who obviously loves his dogs. He was absolutly amazing with Bertie. Nothing was too much trouble and we felt as though he treat Bertie as his own which gave us great peace of mind when we left him. He kept us up to date with loads of great photos and updates. We were reassured that Bertie had his medication on time. Cannot recommend Pete highly enough and we will definitely use him again in the future.”

“Angus loved his time with Barbara, he gots lots of exciting walks and settled in well with her. She is very friendly ,we got updates and photos of what they had been up ,hes going back for another little break with her soon”

“Reece and Lucy looked after our dog Bobby for a week, and I can honestly say they've been fantastic. Before we booked Bobby's stay, we had a nice meet and greet in the park which was a lovely idea. Bobby immediately liked Reece and Lucy; they both were so great with him. It's obvious they're both really good with dogs of all temperaments and Bobby had a great stay. We had regular updates and photos which was a nice touch and reassurance that our dog was doing well :) As we picked our dog up he was so happy and cheerful so I can with confidence say that they've been lovely looking after him. Thanks so much and I will definitely book another stay with them!! Highly recommend, they're such lovely people and dogs love them.”

“Jane was lovely, really communicative and responsive when booking. She was lovely with our dog and kept us updated with pictures and messages while he was with her. It was easy to arrange to collect him. Thanks!”

“Anna-María and her partner were the perfect choice for us to look after our dog for a week. They took care of all of his specific needs perfectly and kept us updated with pics while we were away. He had a brilliant time, it was stress free for us and we will 100% book again!”

“Rachel looked after my little dog Bentley for 2 days and overnight stay. Felt more than happy and he had a great stay. Sent me pictures and informed me of his well being. Would be more than happy to leave with Rachel again. Top service 👌”

“I am always a little concerned leaving Lola with anyone. As she didn't have a good start in life. I had a very good feeling on our first meeting with Ian and Tracy. I immediately felt at ease as they clearly experienced and comfortable with dogs. They have two dogs of their own and Lola was happy to be with them. I always feel a little nervous and guilty when we go away. So to have someone like Ian and Tracy who reassures you, that she will be well looked after, gives you peace of mind. Excellent communication received, with regular updates and photos, this all helped us. Lola had lots of walks and play time, she was very happy and relaxed when we picked her up. ` I will definitely be using Ian and Tracy again. I highly recommend them for dog boarding. Thank you again.”

“We left Angus our 6 month old puppy for the first time with Chelsea, we were worried about leaving him with only being a puppy but we were reasured with photos and meeting previous to stay, it was a home from home for him he was chilled out and well looked after, will definitely book again”

About: I’m an experienced dog owner with a lurcher of my own, so I’m very used to the day-to-day care, routines, exercise and attention dogs need. I’m confident handling dogs on walks, keeping them settled and comfortable, and making sure they get plenty of company and affection. I know how important it is to trust the person looking after your dog, and I’ll always care for them as if they were my own. I work but have the ability to work from home and so my availability is flexible throughout the week. I typically walk my own dog twice a day. I have a fenced, 7 acre fellside garden (I live on an old farm), so in addition to twice daily walks there is also plenty of space for walking and running about throughout the day. My own dog is very chilled and has no problems with other dogs. My house is very dog friendly, lying on the furniture is fine, I also have a large crate I no longer use which can be used for dogs who need it.

About: I grew up around animals and have a love for dogs and cats in particular although I have been known to cuddle a piglet or a bearded dragon at times! I have always had one or two dogs as an adult. A house just feels empty without them. My love of animals motivated me to complete a degree in animal behaviour. This gave me a really good insight into canine behaviour and the ability to look at a situation from a dogs perspective, this has been invaluable at times. I have experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes and personalities, from energetic young dogs to older pets who need a calmer, more gentle approach. I understand that every dog is an individual and I pay particular attention to how the dynamics between the dogs change when they are living together so that we can keep everyone happy. I always take the time to learn their routine, preferences and needs so they feel safe, comfortable and happy while in my care. I can also carry on training habits or administer medication whilst they are with us. Whether it's walks, playtime, cuddles or simply keeping to their usual routine, I'll care for your dog as if they were my own. My partner Mandy and I are both working from home at the moment so there will be someone available most of the time for back door opening, company and cuddles. I'm flexible and can usually accommodate your dog's normal routine, helping them feel settled and comfortable while they're with us. Your dog will be part of the pack in our home from home environment. Your dog's safety and wellbeing are my top priorities. We have a loving family home with three children—two teenagers and an eight-year-old who has grown up around animals and is always gentle and respectful. We also have two friendly, dog-tolerant cats, so any dogs staying with us will need to be comfortable around cats and children. Outside, we have a securely fenced area of the garden where dogs can safely enjoy time outdoors. In the summer, they have access to their own paddling pool. We also have a larger garden for exercise and play, although this area isn't fully escape-proof, so adventurous dogs with a talent for finding gaps may need to stay on a lead or enjoy the secure area instead. I always tailor each dog's access to outdoor spaces based on their personality and level of recall to keep them safe. I only accept dogs that I feel will be happy and comfortable in our home environment. This helps ensure a safe, relaxed and enjoyable experience for your dog, our family and our own pets. To determine this, we always like to have a visit from you and your dog to our home. We just want to be as sure as we can that everyone is going to be happy during their stay!
