“Sue is extremely kind and caring and also gives daily affirmations that my dog was okay. Max loved it and came back looking very happy. I highly recommend and will happily book again.”
“Lesley was great with Koda and I wouldn't hesitate to book and leave him again. Koda felt at home on our visit and I had no worries when leaving him. Lesley kept me updated throughout his stay and sent photos. I would highly recommend.”
“Alexandra and Chris were absolutely fantastic looking after our dog, Harley, while we were away in Cardiff for a few days. From the moment we dropped her off, we knew she was in safe and caring hands. They kept us updated throughout our trip with regular messages and lovely photos, which gave us real peace of mind and allowed us to relax knowing Harley was happy and well looked after. It was clear she was getting plenty of attention, care, and affection. We couldn’t have asked for better sitters, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book with Alexandra and Chris again. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for kind, reliable, and trustworthy people to care for their dog. Thank you both for taking such great care of Harley!”
“Olivia was awesome! One of our dogs was on medication during her stay and she was more than willing to accommodate that. She gave us daily updates and we could tell the dogs had a great time when we picked them up.”
“We left our beloved dog Blue for the first time ever with Walter and Angela. They were brilliant from start to finish. We felt instantly reassured that Blue was in good hands. He is an older dog with particular needs and they managed them with great care and easy. We had regular updates from them too.Plus their own dog Bonnie is a very friendly gorgeous dog with a wonderful temperament. I would highly recommend them. Thank you both!”
“Maddie and Alex boarded our ten month old Doberman puppy again last weekend so we could attend a wedding. When Roxy arrived at their house her tail began to wag and she was eager to get into the house, and play with them both. She was happy to see them knowing she would be looked after. She went on lots of long walks in the countryside and was very well cared for. I am fussy who we leave Roxy with, but would highly recommend this young couple to look after your pet. They are knowledgeable about dogs and go out of their way to accommodate your requirements. Again would highly recommend. Thanks again from Julie and Mike.”
“Absolutley brilliant! Aaliyah and her partner have been amazing for our little lad Buddy. He certainly has his quirks and it didnt even matter to Aaliyah as she welcomed him open armed. I knew buddy was in great hands as soon as he decided to cuddle up to Aaliyah when I tried to take home. Thanks again for looking after buddy! See you soon for his next sleepover”
“Thank you Vivian and your husband for taking such good care of my two cats. You gave me daily updates right on time, spent extra time playing with them and even looked after one of them who has some respiratory issues with great attention. You were friendly, polite, and very thoughtful. I’ll definitely come back to you next time I need cat boarding!”
“Fabiola was amazing with scooby. She gave me regular updates with messages videos and photos . Scooby felt at home and having a friend ( Bandit) made a huge difference. I would definitely book Fabiola again for taking care of scooby in future.”
“Harry was excellent! -helped me out last minute -communication was easy and responses were quick -felt safe and comfortable dropping my dog off and ossy was in good health and good spirits when I collected him. Would recommend highly and would book again! Thank you Harry!!”
About: Myself and my husband have grown up with dogs and have embraced them into our family life.Mainly large, male dogs some with challenging behaviour issues. We have recently lost our much loved dog in a tragic accident and consequently we have started to look after friends and family's pets and have really enjoyed this and want it to continue. We live in a nice, semi rural area with a multitude of walks on our doorstep. We have great flexibility as we are self employed and work close to home. We are early risers so would be able to take your dog out for a walk before work, and/or take your dog with us, or pop home regularly if required. We are a self employed couple with great flexibility. We have a fenced garden and yard with access to many local walks. We would treat your dog as if it was our own and maintain your boundaries and preferences around behaviour and routine.
“Albus was calm and comfortable staying with Inna. She is wonderful and caring, with lots of love and attention to give to Albus. Thank for making him feel at home, he is very much looking forward to his next visit.”
“Shirley was just perfect, so friendly and accommodating. I was a little concerned leaving Jaxson because he hadn't stayed away from home for a long time but Shirley couldn't have been more helpful and made Jaxson feel at home from the word go, he settled in so well, i'm sure all the cuddles from Shirley did the trick ❤️ If Jaxson could talk i'm sure he'd be asking ......... can I go again 😀, I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Shirley to anyone who is need of a dog sitter 🐶xx”
About: Previously, I worked in kennels for 2 years and a dog boarders for another 2 so I have experience dealing with almost all breeds. I also come from a family of dog boarders so have grown up caring for dogs all my life. I am equipped at administering medication if needed and also have no dogs of my own at the minute so if you have a dog that may not always get on with others then that’s not a problem. I’m currently working part time 3 days a week so Friday-Monday I am free to take care of your lovely pooches. I am happy to pop in during the day to feed/let them out to toilet or take them on a nice walk and take care of them overnight. I have a fenced garden and no dogs of my own at the minute so we have a really safe and secure area. I also have a lot of fields and green/pond areas a 5 minute walk from my home so it’s a really great area for them to stay/be walked.
“Laura was fantastic with my golden retriever! He definitely had lots of fun and love! Lots of updates, pictures and videos throughout. Will definitely be using Laura again!”
“Laura and Matt took such great care of Zola during the 2 days she stayed with them. A few days before the boarding, we scheduled a meet and greet so they could get to know Zola’s daily routine and habits, and so Zola could become familiar with her surroundings. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Laura and Matt again. You can tell they genuinely love working with dogs and treat them with so much love, care, and attention. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of our girl 😊”

“This was our first time using a drop in service and it could not of gone smoother with Michelle. From our first meet she was professional and put us at ease. She provided updates and photos throughout our holiday which was lovely. I could not recommend Michelle more and will definitely be using again.”
“Aaliyah provided exceptional care to our cat (Millie) on each visit! Aaliyah sent plenty of updates with photos and managed to bring our very shy Millie out of her shell immediately! All care instructions were followed exactly as laid out and Millie has definitely made a new friend! :)”
“Personally I wouldn’t choose anybody other than Atlanta to look after our cat, Along with feeding her Atlanta make a fuss of her and her gives her plenty of TLC, she sends pictures each time she visits. Thank you so much Atlanta, you have a friend for life in Pudding”
“We have used Jane to look after our two cats a few times now and she always does an amazing job! Both our cats are very wary of strangers but they have warmed to Jane from the beginning! Jane is very reliable and it’s so reassuring to go away knowing our cats will be well looked after and have some company. We will continue to book Jane when we need a cat sitter!😺”
“Matthew was absolutely fantastic. He went above and beyond to make sure my pets were happy and cared for. I would highly recommend him to anyone. Thank you Matthew, you were truly brilliant.”
“Bryony was great with our cat, did all the necessary admin feeding etc plus some tickles and attention and posted some lovely pics and videos to reassure us all was OK. We came home to a happy cat!”
“Alex has been excellent from start to finish. A pre-start appointment was arranged so that paperwork could be completed. Plus the details of where food was kept and the location of my cat’s feeding station. Alex is a genuinely warm and caring person who loves cats. He communicated with me during my vacation and sent pictures of my cat to reassure me. I would have no hesitation in recommending him, 100%”
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life — I grew up with two dogs, as well as hamsters and fish, so caring for pets has always felt natural to me. When visiting family in the countryside, I was the go-to person for looking after their cats, and I’ve loved it ever since. I now share my home with two very different (and very loved!) cats — Ghostie (8), who’s a laid-back cuddle expert and has needed extra care due to past medical issues, and Shadow (6), who keeps things interesting with his playful, cheeky personality. Thanks to them, I’m comfortable with everything from relaxed lap cats to energetic little troublemakers. I’ve also looked after my neighbour’s cats regularly over the years, so I understand how important it is to keep pets feeling safe, loved, and in their routine while their owners are away. Alongside pet care, I’m happy to help with the little things that give you peace of mind — bringing in post, taking bins out, and generally keeping an eye on your home while you’re away. Each visit typically lasts around an hour, giving your pets plenty of attention, playtime, and care rather than just a quick check-in. If you’re looking for someone reliable who will treat your pets and home with genuine care, feel free to get in touch — I’d love to help.
“Absolutely brilliant! We have used different sitters before but Sharon is definitely the best we’ve had! Regular updates and photos sent and came home to happy cats and no mess. Will be booking Sharon again next time and would highly recommend her to anyone.”
About: I have had cats since I was little. When I had children I introduced them to cats too by adopting a kitten, and now I have 2 adult daughters with their own cats, so I definitely passed on my love of them. I have adopted senior cats. Currently my latest adoption is 10 and a half years old and likes to be the boss of my 3 other cats, but I am gradually getting her used to socialising with them in a more friendly way. It's an ongoing process! I know cats are unpredictable, can scratch you one minute then want to climb on your lap the next, but I like that they have little independent personalities. When a cat loves you, you know you have been chosen. I am used to getting cats to take medication and treating things like eye infections for them, so I would be happy to look after a cat needing medical care. I also clean and change litter, mop up catsick or hairballs, and hoover up stray fur on the furniture!
“Jonathon has looked after our cat for us whilst we were away, can’t thank him enough as it’s great having somebody you can trust. I am sure pudding will miss him. I can highly recommend Jonathon”
About: Hi, I'm Tracey, a lifelong dog and cat lover with years of hands-on experience caring for furry companions of all shapes and sizes. I offer pet sitting and walking services where your pet will receive plenty of love, cuddles, and attentive care. I live on a very quiet and safe estate called Holland House in Walton le Dale that's free from hustle and bustle ideally placed to be local for many surrounding areas spanning anywhere south of Preston... to Chorley and many places in between. Living where I do I'm spoilt for choice with places to go for walks long and short and have the added benefit of a local woods within a stone's throw from home. From experience I understand the importance of maintaining routines and giving your pet the necessary level of attention to feel happy and safe while you're away. Having adopted from rescue I understand some pets are more sensitive and like quiet spaces and as I don't have any pets of my own I can always offer a really calm environment. I hope to have reassured you that you've found a dependable, affectionate, and experienced sitter and would be honored to help so just send me a message, make an enquiry or let me know about any specific needs especially regarding elderly pets or ones that may need medicating as I'm more than happy to accommodate their needs. A bit about me... I've had the joy of raising 3 wonderful dogs and 4 cats over the years including those from rescue centres. Sadly I said goodbye to my last two cherished companions in recent years: Cookie, my sweet 12-year-old Chihuahua who passed away in April 2024, and Baxter, a lovable crossbreed rescue from the RSPCA who lived an amazing 17 years before passing in 2022. These incredible pets filled my life with joy, and while I can’t currently have pets of my own due to work commitments, I miss the companionship and joy that they bring so I'd love to provide a safe, caring, kind, and loving environment for your furry friends while you're away. I also have the pleasure of being a proud "grand pup" sitter occasionally for my two son's dogs — Winston, a playful French Bulldog, and Bailey, a sweet Shih Tzu. Caring for them has only deepened my love for looking after pets and understanding their unique personalities.
“Florence was amazing with our cat Derek! Derek immediately took to Florence, and Florence took really good care of him. We were sent updates and pictures which helped put our mind at ease while we were away. Derek clearly enjoyed all the fuss and attention! We will definitely book again.”
About: I worked in a kennel and Cattery for 2 years so I am very experienced with caring for cats. I have also had my own cats since I was a child. At the moment I don’t have any cats of my own so if your cat doesn’t get on well with others that’s no problem.
“Viky stayed with our two very timid cats, who are scared of people and she did a very good job. They both eventually came out to her. We have been receiving regular updates with photos, which has helped greatly, as we were worried they will not take it too easily. We came back to well looked after two kitties and a clean home. ”

“Mindy and Marley had the most wonderful time with Jessica! They were utterly spoilt, with walkies, cuddles and snuggles on the settee. Jessica was excellent in her in her time keeping for pickup and drop off and made what was otherwise a very tough dayfor me so much less stressful. I can confidently recommend her superb care. Thank you so much, Jess💕💕”

About: I have had pets most of my life and enjoy the time with them. I'm retired so have the time to spoil your pet while you enjoy knowing they are well looked after. Im retired and have quite a bit of spare time on my hands. I love having a chat with a dog while walking, its wonderful. My own cats are indoors only as I prefer the safety of this. I cannot have pets boarding at my home due to my own fur babies x
“Aaliyah looked after our miniature dachshund, Chorizo, for day care for the first time in preparation for a longer stay we have booked. She was very communicative beforehand and took on board my concerns (he has had IVDD so needs some extra care). She sent me several updates with pictures throughout the day and I could see how happy and settled Chorizo was in her home. He was happy to see us when we arrived to pick him up - but he didn't want to leave Aaliyah and her partner!! We are feeling very reassured ahead of him staying with her in July as we know he will be happy to go back and will be very well looked after.”
“Teddy had a great time with Matthew and his partner during his daycare session - they were communicative, flexible around our drop off/ pick up needs, and kept us up to date with how Teddy was getting on. Teddy loved all the fuss he got, and the big secure garden to cool off in during the warm weather!”
“Tom and Abbie took time to make sure Luna was comfortable in new surroundings and took good care of her whilst there. Will get an other introduction walk arranged before Luna stays for a week, thanks !”
“She's amazing, our dog loved his time with her. She updated us how our boy doing not just message, she send photos and videos as well. I can just recommend her xxx Thank you Fabiola xx”
About: Hello! Unlike some other sitters on Rover, i have a year of dog sitting experience and work experience in a kennels, cattery, riding school and small animal vet clinic. I have been caring for dogs ever since 2012 when i was around seven years old and have also had some experience with rabbits and birds around the age of 4 years old. During my work experience, i have learnt how to analyse basic animal behaviour well and have learnt how to follow a schedule of feeding times, medicine that need to be administered and how to meet the needs of both dogs and cats. I’ve helped with grooming and bathing at the kennels and i am patient at all times, giving space to animals when they need it. I am the type of pet sitter to give some advice to owners if i feel it may benefit the owners and the pet. For example, if i see your dog eats too quickly, i might recommend a slow feeding bowl to reduce chances of things such as GDV happening to your dog. I have helped two owners during my time as a pet sitter as i have noticed medical issues in their dogs such as signs of a urinary infection or epulis. If you do not want advice, please let me know beforehand as i do not tolerate rude behaviour. Im currently available at all times so whatever type of schedule you would like for your pet, i can work around. When a dog is in my own home and is sleeping over, i sleep nearby to make sure that they are comfortable and safe as that is my first priority. I give every dog at least one walk a day (or more if you would like) In my own home, i have an attached house which is kept clean at all times and it has a back garden with tall fences and no grass. Its a relatively big garden with lots of plants and vegetables around. I do have a dog of my own in the house who’s an eight year old Sproodle who is playful but is no threat to other dogs as she loves to greet them no matter the age. She is gentle with puppies and sleeps in her own bed in the kitchen. In my house, i live with two sisters and my mother. No matter the house im caring for your pet in, i will stick to a schedule and your rules however you prefer. I will make sure your pet is entertained and cared for well and will return home happy!
“Lucca had a lovely day with Michelle, it was the first time we have left her with anyone Michelle sent photos and Lucca looked very relaxed, she had cuddles and walks, and came home very happy.”
“Thank you Matthew and Georgia! You absolutely saved us yesterday!! We had someone booked who then didn’t answered the door, I messaged Matthew and within minutes he answered, and agreed to care for Otis. They have cared for Otis before and he again, had the best time. Thank you both - would definitely have you look after our little boy again.”
“I was very happy to leave Ollie for the day with Debbie and Andrew, who clearly know what they're about with dogs. Ollie came home having been out for a country walk and, by arrangement, bathed and groomed. If I have similar occasion to be in Preston I will have no hesitation in taking Ollie to Debbie and Andrew again.”

I can follow specific instructions for individual pets as I understand how important routine and consistency can be for some.

“Aaliyah is an angel! She’s been seeing Buddy since April now and he loves when she visits. She always has time for him without fail and is so good with him. She’s been a god send for the past three months especially with Buddy hurting his leg and having to swap walks for drop ins.

About: We’ve both had separate childhood dogs and now have our own furry baby who we trained from being a pup! The majority of our experience lies with caring for spaniels but we love all breeds. We can cater for all your pet’s needs, such as having a crate available, feeding them their favourite food/treats, taking them to their favourite walking destination, having a puppy carrier (for puppies who are yet to go on walks before their immunisations) and much more! We work full-time but different shifts, meaning we are available every weekend, some weekdays and some evenings, after 5pm. Our availability is different each week. We have a large, fenced back garden with a side gate that has no gaps underneath. We have a dog crate and plenty of toys and space in the house for your dog to run and play in!
About: We’re a caring and reliable couple who have both grown up with dogs and cats our entire lives. Looking after animals has always been a natural part of our daily routine, from feeding and walking to playtime and giving them plenty of attention and affection. We live in a quiet town in a spacious 3-bedroom home, providing a calm and comfortable environment for pets to relax in. We understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, and we always take the time to make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. Whether it’s energetic walks, keeping up with routines, or simply giving extra cuddles, we treat every pet as if they were our own. You can count on us to provide a loving, safe, and attentive experience while you're away.
About: I am a training veterinary student with a lifelong passion for dogs and hands-on experience caring for them in a variety of settings. Growing up with dogs has given me a strong understanding of their behaviour, daily care needs, and the importance of patience and consistency when handling animals. Over the years, neighbours and family friends have regularly relied on me to visit, walk, feed, and care for their dogs while they were away, which has helped me develop responsibility, trustworthiness, and confidence working independently with animals. I have also cared for young puppies, including feeding, socialising, cleaning, and monitoring their wellbeing, which has strengthened my understanding of early development and animal welfare. Through both my personal experience and veterinary training, I have developed skills in animal handling, communication, observation, recognising signs of stress or illness, and providing attentive, compassionate care.

“Simone was absolutely wonderful with Leo today. She is incredibly patient, caring, and kind, and it is clear how much she genuinely loves working with dogs. Leo adores her and is always happy to see her, which gives us great confidence that he is in excellent hands. She does a fantastic job with his walks, ensuring he gets both exercise and attention while making the experience enjoyable for him. We are very grateful for her reliability, kindness, and dedication. We highly recommend Simone to anyone who wants their dog to be in the trusted hands of a genuinely kind, caring, and dependable person.”
About: I have had cats since I was little, adopting them from friends, the RSPCA or relatives. I have also owned rabbits, and dogs, in the past as an adult. My dog experience includes an excitable Border Collie, a happy-go-lucky mixed breed and a fun-loving German Shepherd. I do miss dog walks and dog cuddles, but currently one of my adopted senior cats isn't keen on dogs so I am currently a dog free house! I have looked after pets since I was about 5 or 6 so have nearly 50 years experience with animals.I work from home so if you have wifi and need a sitter in your home, I can be in most of the day with your pet. I love walking dogs on or off lead and I am happy to go with the personality of your pet, whether that's a cat that likes their own space, or a dog who wants cuddles and long outdoor walks. As for my cats, they have my Mum to look after them when I am away, so I can do overnight or longer stays. I work in education, have a car, flexibility on dates/times and I will look after your pet as if they are my own, sending lots of photos and updates. I work Monday-Friday in term-time, and work from home, with occasional meetings outside my home, depending on schedule. I usually get up, feed my cats, have breakfast, start work at 8 and if I'm in a Teams meeting online, try to keep my cats from coming into shot or stepping all over my keyboard! Sometimes I might need to do an external visit or meeting, but if so then I am back home within 1-2hrs. At tea time the cats get fed again. At the weekends my cats have to wait a little longer for breakfast if I have a lie-in. At home I have a fenced-in garden, a cat flap and litter trays. I also have a small park 5 mins walk away where I used to walk my dogs, and a larger one 10 mins drive away. I live in a very quiet cul de sac.
About: I have had my own dog for over 17 years so i understand what it’s like to take care of a dog. I am such a caring person, who loves walking and miss walking a dog. It would bring me so much joy again. I currently work a full time job, Monday-Thursday, when I finish work of an everning. I love to be able to walk dogs and on my days off also as this. I will always make sure that I am consistent when being around the dogs. At the moment I will not be offering over night stays at my home due to having no garden which is not ideal for a dog to be staying.
“Rosie has been absolutely fantastic in helping look after Pops. She's been incredibly good at working to fit his needs, and has developed an extremely strong relationship with him very quickly, despite him often not taking well to strangers. She's also been so flexible, working around schedule changes at fairly short notice. We're very, very happy, and would recommend her to anyone!”

“Sue is extremely kind and caring and also gives daily affirmations that my dog was okay. Max loved it and came back looking very happy. I highly recommend and will happily book again.”
“Lesley was great with Koda and I wouldn't hesitate to book and leave him again. Koda felt at home on our visit and I had no worries when leaving him. Lesley kept me updated throughout his stay and sent photos. I would highly recommend.”
“Olivia was awesome! One of our dogs was on medication during her stay and she was more than willing to accommodate that. She gave us daily updates and we could tell the dogs had a great time when we picked them up.”
“Absolutley brilliant! Aaliyah and her partner have been amazing for our little lad Buddy. He certainly has his quirks and it didnt even matter to Aaliyah as she welcomed him open armed. I knew buddy was in great hands as soon as he decided to cuddle up to Aaliyah when I tried to take home. Thanks again for looking after buddy! See you soon for his next sleepover”
About: Previously, I worked in kennels for 2 years and a dog boarders for another 2 so I have experience dealing with almost all breeds. I also come from a family of dog boarders so have grown up caring for dogs all my life. I am equipped at administering medication if needed and also have no dogs of my own at the minute so if you have a dog that may not always get on with others then that’s not a problem. I’m currently working part time 3 days a week so Friday-Monday I am free to take care of your lovely pooches. I am happy to pop in during the day to feed/let them out to toilet or take them on a nice walk and take care of them overnight. I have a fenced garden and no dogs of my own at the minute so we have a really safe and secure area. I also have a lot of fields and green/pond areas a 5 minute walk from my home so it’s a really great area for them to stay/be walked.
“Laura was fantastic with my golden retriever! He definitely had lots of fun and love! Lots of updates, pictures and videos throughout. Will definitely be using Laura again!”
“Laura and Matt took such great care of Zola during the 2 days she stayed with them. A few days before the boarding, we scheduled a meet and greet so they could get to know Zola’s daily routine and habits, and so Zola could become familiar with her surroundings. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Laura and Matt again. You can tell they genuinely love working with dogs and treat them with so much love, care, and attention. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of our girl 😊”
“Daniel and his partner were amazing. They were very friendly and welcoming. They were very thorough in getting to know my dog, took notes even. My dog really enjoyed being there with them. More importantly I was very confident and happy to leave him under their care. Highly recommend them. Would definitely use them again.”
“Amy was very caring in looking after Meg, my West Highland Terrier. I was a little apprehensive as to how Meg would cope staying with someone unfamiliar but I need not have worried. Amy kept me updated daily with messages and photo’s of how she was settling in and Meg seemed to get on very well with Amy’s dog.”
“My Storm went for a sleep over as an extended meet and greet to see if Tracy and her were a match.. I could tell instantly that Storm was comfortable. I got photos and updates.. and when Storm was dropped off she was happy.. and as soon as Tracy's back was turned Storm jumped back into her car.. although I wasnt impressed that Storm was happy to go back off with Tracy it gave me comfort that she had clearly given her the care and love that she receives at home... have already rebooked for a longer stay.. I just hope I get a better greeting off Storm after my trip. Thank you, 🐾”
“Scarlett and her partner looked after our two dogs, Teddy and Benji, while we were away on holiday, and we couldn't have been happier with the care they provided. Before our trip, we arranged a meet and greet, and Teddy and Benji felt comfortable in their home and with both of them straight away. From that moment, I knew they would be in good hands and had no worries or concerns about leaving them. Throughout our holiday, Scarlett kept us updated with plenty of photos and messages, which was so reassuring and lovely to receive. It was clear that Teddy and Benji were having a fantastic time and were being well cared for. Thank you both for taking such wonderful care of them. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend you and would happily book again in the future!”
“Very polite and knows what she’s doing and it’s clear she’s got lots of experience. She was very accommodating for our dog. Also very fast at communicating on here too. Without doubt I would have violet look after our dog again and I would definitely recommend others to :)”
“This was the first time we had left out 9 month Labrador with anyone over night, and I cannot thanks Natalie and Mark enough. He had the best time, their set up is the best for active pups and we were kept up to date throughout the stay. Will definitely book in the future!”
“I was reluctant to leave my dog Ralph with a stranger at first. He is very much a loved member of the family. We was stuck as our daughter couldn't have him so I thought I'd give Rover a try, where we found Duncan (I didn't want him in the kennels). So glad I did. Ralph has had his very own holiday for a week! Duncan gave him so much love and attention, the daily updates as requested made us smile. You can tell he is an animal lover and takes his job very seriously. I hope in future Duncan has availability as he will be my first choice. 10/10 lovely guy”
“I would definitely recommend booking Carly. Communication was excellent from start to finish and she made sure Charlie settled in well. Carly kept me updated throughout her stay, which gave me real peace of mind. Charlie was happy and well cared for and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again.”
