“Nicola looked after Frodo for a full week and did a wonderful job. He was clearly happy, well cared for, and settled when I picked him up. Nicola kept me updated and treated Frodo like one of her own. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her and would happily book with her again.”
“Julia and Tony were fantastic! It was the first time we went away without Charlie and we had total peace of mind. Julia and Tony sent us regular updates with plenty of photos and videos so we could see what Charlie was up to! They have wonderful facilities for doge with an amazing agility course which Charlie seems to really enjoy ☺️ I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again. Thanks again Julia and Tony!”
“Amanda and John took care of my westie cooper for a week while we were away, I had regular daily updates and pictures of how cooper was getting on and nothing was too much trouble. The daily updates kept my anxiety at rest and seeing how happy, comfortable and at home cooper was made me feel better. Cooper has come home to her partner in crime (my son, her brother Zayn) and misses I can tell she misses you both so very much. I would 100% recommend them to anyone who loves their fur babies as they treat your fur babies like their own! Thank you both so much for being amazing and taking care of my baby girl! Until the next stay in November if not sooner ? xxxx”
“Felt so at ease Gallardo staying with Daniel, he’s a lovely man and you can tell he’s passionate about what he does. He sent me regular updates and pictures. If your looking for someone to look after your pooch and it to be a home to home experience look no further. 5*”
“Judith was wonderful with our 4 month old pup, Artie. She was great at communicating before the stay, very attentive to his needs when we dropped him off and sent regular updates. Artie got regular walks, was constantly played with and fussed and generally treated like royalty - loved it. I would highly recommend Judith to anyone, she was fantastic and the only problem was I don't think Artie wanted to leave he loved it that much! Thank you Judith for taking such good care of him.”
“Penny had such a lovely stay with Steve, considering it was a last minute booking! Penny is a bit more wary of men, but she really took to him and trusted him from the start. It was lovely to see their bond when I came to pick her up, she was wagging her tail and jumping up at him, almost as if she’d had too much fun and didn’t want to leave. Steve sent me regular updates about Penny, including photos from their walks and photos of her around the house. She looked very settled and well looked after. Penny takes thyroid medication every morning and she is currently taking eyedrops twice a day - I left some notes regarding these, and Steve remembered exactly what to do and when. I felt very reassured, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Steve again. I can’t recommend him enough.”
“Karen was amazing and really reassured me about leaving my puppy for the first time! Karen kept me updated with photos throughout the night. Pandora had such a great time with her doggies and her lovely family, and she came home very tired from all the fun, will definitely be booking her again. 100% recommend. Thank you for looking after my baby 😊”
“Both were great, clearly love dogs and know what is needed to take care of a puppy properly! They did a couple of drop ins and had my puppy overnight, I got lots of updates and photos from them Would recommend!”
“From the first message Tracy and Dani made sure fynn’s welfare and comfort was at the forefront of their care. Meet and greet was arranged and straight away I knew they were the people to look after my baby while I was away. He had his overnight stay last night to settle into new surroundings with new people and he absolutely loved it! I was so nervous at first having fynn never stayed in boarding before but they made me feel so reassured giving me regular updates on how fynn was doing and what he was up to. He enjoyed himself so much he can’t wait to stay again! Couldn’t recommend Tracy and Dani enough for any dog sitting needs because they are just amazing and really do treat your dog like their own and it’s really so lovely to see🤍”
“Jungmin was great with Muffin! She made him feel welcome and provided daily updates which were lovely. Muffin settled in quickly and came home very happy, and relaxed. He has a cone on currently and Jungmin was very accomodating and helped Muffin with everything. Thank you so much for looking after him so well ❤️”
“Nellie and Lucy had a wonderful stay thank you for all your kindness and care! I wouldn’t hesitate to ask you to look after our two little treasures in future, much appreciated Heather”

About: I’ve been a huge animal lover all my life; owning dogs, cats, reptiles & guinea pigs over the years. I’m experienced from large breed dogs (my own girl was a GSDxLab), to small breed dogs (regularly boarded a little pug called Marcy). I can’t wait to spend time with your fur babies and provide them the love and enrichment they need while you work!! Currently working a 4 day shift pattern, which can change from week to week, but I’ll update my availability to reflect this. I live close to lots of green space so there’s lots of options for long & short walks, and I also drive so I’m more than happy to take them on a big day out if that’s preferred. I have a large, fenced off garden with a padlocked gate. The house also has multiple security cameras too, covering all entry points. I don’t have crates, but I have plenty of space for them if provided. Your fur baby would have full access in the house, I don’t mind them exploring or using furniture.
“We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter than Stasys! He was absolutely amazing with Fifi and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. Fifi can be quite reactive, so we really appreciated how patient and understanding he was, and how he adjusted everything to suit her needs. He kept us updated throughout with lots of photos and videos, which we absolutely loved. Fifi looked so happy, relaxed and well cared for in every single one, and it was clear that she was getting plenty of attention and care. He also kept us informed whenever anything came up, which gave us so much reassurance. Stasys made the whole experience completely stress-free. We would definitely trust him with Fifi again. 😊”
“Valeria is a caring and considerate pet carer. She is responsible and responsive everyday. Lucy like to play with her and boyfriend, and enjoyed staying at her home with her dog Johnny. Valeria helps to bring Lucy to me at a train station to my convenience, which helped me a lot in the night! I received the photos and video everyday and see Lucy adapted well in her home, which relieved my worry. Will contact her again when I travel again!”
“Excellent experience. I was able to meet Kodjo in advance with Polly so they could get acquainted before her stay. Kodjo kept me updated and sent pictures of Polly out walking and relaxing. Polly seemed very contented when I picked her up. Very happy”
“Amazing people. Professional behaviour. The best decision ever was booking with them. I am so grateful. The 4 updates a day kept me entertained and relieved throughout my trip.”
“Marley had an absolutely brilliant time with Sarasa. She went above and beyond for us and even brought Marley to visit us on our wedding day, which we were so grateful for! During his stay, Sarasa took Marley on so many beautiful walks and sent us loads of photos and videos of Marley having a great time! He got lots of cuddles and was so relaxed and happy when we picked him up. Sarasa’s dog Coco was also a beautiful girl and seemed to get on really well with Marley. We would absolutely use Sarasa again and can’t thank her enough for agreeing to help us with our special request. Thank you so much! X”

Felt very reassured she was being looked after and in very safe hands. Definitely be booking Paige again. Absolutely 100% recommend, a lovely lady!”
“As always Nicola was so great with our two cats. She is our regular pet sitter now and has a great availability. We are always getting some updates and pictures during our holidays so we can enjoy our time whilst knowing our cats are well taken care of :)”
About: I grew up with two cats when I little & 5 years ago I moved in with my boyfriend and his gorgeous ginger tom cat. I adored the little bundles of chaos!! In his old age he needed medication and preferred cuddles over playtime, I got very good at disguising oral medications in treats to make sure he would take them.
“Vanessa and Tony were fabulous. They came to chat with us about what our cats specific needs were before we went away. They kept us constantly updated and reassured as we were very nervous leaving our cat.They even took care of our gecko for us with no issues! I would recommend Tony and Vanessa to anyone and we would definitely book them again :) ”
“Sarah was incredibly responsive and very well prepared. She sent updates about the pet everyday and was very knowledgeable and helpful. I would 100% recommend Sarah if you require a pet sitter :)”
“Nicola was a dream. Really flexible and accommodating. She’s really approachable and made me feel instantly relaxed leaving our Cat in her care and visiting our home while we were away. We’ll definitely book Nicola again when we need a helping hand.”
“Very happy with Neoma, my cat Henry is very anxious and scared of new people, told her that she prob wouldn’t see him much and just to put his food down etc but she sent me pics on the first day of her fussing him, he took to her straight away, I got regular updates, wasn’t worried about him at all while I was away, can definitely recommend”
“Thanks again to Kayleigh for looking after Puss while I’ve been away. Since Puss got poorly, I’ve been more nervous about leaving her, but Kayleigh keeps me updated and sends amazing pictures. Puss lives playing with her and seems so relaxed. Thanks for helping me to enjoy my break. 🥰”
“Hazel looked after my two cats for two weeks and did an absolutely excellent job! She went above and beyond to make sure they were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. She even bought them some little toys, which they absolutely adore! When I got home, the cats were happy and relaxed, which was a clear sign that their routine had been followed and that they had experienced no stress while I was away. It’s reassuring to know they were in such caring and capable hands. Once again, Hazel has proved what a fantastic job she does. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her and would happily have her look after my cats again!”
“Yarah was friendly, punctual, and amazing with my kittens. It was my first time leaving them alone while they were still very young, and she made both me and them feel completely comfortable. She sent lovely photos of them cuddled up sleeping next to her, which really reassured me they were relaxed. I came home to two happy kittens and would absolutely have Yarah back again!”
About: I have had a cat in my life for as long as I remember, and wouldn't have it any other way. Since I was little I would also check on neighbours, friends and families kitties when they were away, ensuring they were fed, watered, played with and snuggled and I would love to meet your cats too 🙂 I have recently got a new kitten, and she is already besties with my own GSD and ruling the roost.
“This was the second time having Demmi look after the cats and they have been well cared for and looked after. Again very conscientious and confirming information and I’m happy that my cats were happy and healthy on our return.”

“My sausage dog Millie had her first daycare with Monina this week. She’s a very nervous little girl and it takes time for her to get comfortable. Monina was very kind and understanding and took excellent care of her. I felt completely comfortable that Monina would look after my girl as well as one of her own lovely sausages”
“Karen looked after my whippet pup, walnut, today after a previous meet and greet. Really pleased she kept me updated and walnut came back shattered and happy - I honestly think she may have preferred staying there she had so much fun with Milo and Karen’s 3 dogs! We’ll be rebooking when needed, really pleased.”
“As soon as I met Julia, I knew that Luna would enjoy her stay. She made us feel at ease straight away and was lovely with our puppy. Julia sent us videos & photos throughout the day and it was so nice to see Luna settled and having fun! We will definitely use Julia again to look after Luna.”
“Clare was wonderful with my Border Collie, Phoebe! She provided regular updates with photos, showing how happy and active Phoebe was during her stay. Clare's home was perfect for a playful dog like Phoebe, offering plenty of space to run and play. I felt completely at ease knowing Phoebe was in such good hands. I highly recommend Clare to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter. We'll definitely be returning!”
“Our anxious frenchie was excited to go back to Neoma’s house & reunite with his new friend Zuko. As you can imagine this put us at ease right away. We are grateful that we have had Neoma’s help while my mum recovers. We will stay in touch.”
About: I believe in truly 'person-centred'—and paw-centred—care! In my professional life as a support worker, I specialise in understanding individual needs and building trust. At home, I’m a lifelong animal lover and proud parent to a GSD and a kitten. I’d love to look out for your best friends whilst keeping your routine intact and your pets completely at ease. I have had pets in my family for the last 25 years and don't remember a time I didn't have an animal or 4 running around the house. I regularly am trusted to look after and walk my friends and families dogs and check on cats and am confident with all shapes and sizes and breeds. Balancing my career and my love for animals is easy thanks to my 4-day work week. It leaves me with three entirely free days each week to dedicate 100% of my time to walking your dogs and visiting your homes. On the 4 days I am working, I am still available for local early bird walks or evening tuck-in visits. Just drop me a message with your required dates, and we can easily coordinate a schedule that keeps your pet perfectly on routine. I understand leaving your home and pets in someone else’s hands requires complete peace of mind. In my daily job as a support worker, managing safety and building trust in sensitive environments is what I do best. When looking after your pets, their wellbeing is my absolute priority. I am highly observant of animal behaviour - skills I practice daily with my own German Shepherd Kai and baby kitten Mika. Whether managing a powerful dog on a walk or double-checking that your doors are securely locked, I treat your home and your pets with the utmost respect, care, and attention to detail, like I do my own. I am also DBS checked.
About: As a Registered Veterinary Nurse with over 10 years of experience, I bring a level of professional knowledge and reassurance that many standard pet sitters simply can’t offer 🩺🐾 Working in veterinary practice means I am highly experienced in animal behaviour, handling and recognising subtle changes in a pet’s health or wellbeing.

When I do have a shift, I ensure visits are scheduled around my working hours so pets are never left without the care and companionship they deserve. Being a veterinary nurse also means I’m very used to structured routines and planning ahead, so you can feel confident that your pet’s feeding times, walks, medication and daily routine will always be followed carefully 🩺🐾 Caring for animals is something I genuinely love, so spending my free time looking after pets fits perfectly into my lifestyle 🤍 Your pet’s safety and wellbeing will always be my highest priority 🤍 As a Registered Veterinary Nurse with over 10 years of experience, I am trained to recognise changes in behaviour, health and wellbeing, giving owners extra reassurance while their pets are in my care.

About: Hi, I'm Donna, a lifelong dog lover with over 15 years of experience owning and caring for dogs and other pets. Friends and family regularly trust me to look after their dogs when they go away, so I have experience caring for dogs with different personalities, sizes and exercise needs. I currently have a 5-year-old neutered Cocker Spaniel called Brodie. He is a loving, friendly and well-socialised dog who enjoys having other dogs around. He has a very calm temperament, is well behaved, doesn't chase wildlife and is happily relaxed around cats. Dogs staying with me become part of the family and receive plenty of love, attention and exercise. I provide multiple walks every day, as well as lots of playtime, enrichment and cuddles. At weekends, I often head out on longer adventures in the Peak District with dogs who enjoy exploring and longer walks. Equally, if your dog prefers shorter, quieter strolls, I'm happy to tailor their care to suit their individual needs. I understand that leaving your dog with someone else can be a big decision, so I always aim to make them feel safe, comfortable and at home. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your dog is happy and well cared for. I work from home full-time, which means I can provide plenty of company, supervision and attention throughout the day. Dogs in my care are rarely left alone and quickly become part of my daily routine. Every lunchtime, I take a 45-minute woodland walk, giving dogs the opportunity to stretch their legs, explore and enjoy some fresh air. After I finish work at 4pm, I head out again for a longer walk of around an hour in the local woodland, ensuring plenty of exercise and enrichment each day. Most Saturdays, weather permitting, are spent exploring the beautiful trails of the Peak District. If the weather isn't ideal, we enjoy longer walks along the River Mersey instead. These outings provide plenty of opportunities for adventure, sniffing, socialisation and exercise for dogs that enjoy being active. I understand that every dog is different, so I always tailor walks, activities and care to suit their age, energy levels and individual needs, ensuring they feel happy, comfortable and at home while staying with me. 🐾 Your dog's safety and wellbeing will always be my top priority. I work from home full-time, so dogs in my care receive plenty of supervision, company and attention throughout the day and are rarely left alone. I have a secure, fenced garden where dogs can safely play, explore and enjoy time outdoors. Inside the home, dogs are treated as part of the family and have access to comfortable spaces to relax and feel at home. There is also plenty of space within the house to separate dogs if needed, whether for mealtimes, rest periods or if they simply prefer their own space. My dog Brodie is a loving, well-socialised dog who enjoys the company of other dogs and has a very calm temperament. He doesn't chase wildlife and is relaxed around other animals, including cats. I always follow each dog's usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise requirements and any special instructions provided by their owners. Every dog is different, and I believe they deserve individual care, attention and lots of love while they're away from home. 🐾

“Tracy and her family agreed to care for Bubbles at short notice so I could attend a funeral for the day. Bubbles had never been left with anyone other than my own family members previously. Prior to the day care we arranged a ‘meet and greet’ which was a positive experience for both Bubbles and myself and this left me confident and reassured that Bubbles would be in ‘safe hands’ for me to leave her for a full day. On the actual day Bubbles was in Tracy’s care I received regular text messages/pictures throughout the day updating me on her eating habits, toilet breaks, play time ,walks and lots of cuddles. All in all Bubbles and I have had a very pleasant and positive experience with Tracy and her family and I would 100% recommend Tracys services which I will definitely be using again in the future. Thank-you very much Tracy and family for taking such wonderful care of my Bubbles for the day.”

Alongside running my pet care services, I also work part-time as a Registered Veterinary Nurse during the week, which allows me to maintain my clinical skills while still offering flexible and reliable pet sitting and drop-in visits. Because I work part-time shifts, I’m able to plan my schedule carefully to ensure pets in my care receive the time, attention and routine they need 🐶🐱 On days I am not in practice, I have much greater flexibility for longer visits, pet sitting, walks and check-ins. When I do have a shift, I ensure visits are scheduled around my working hours so pets are never left without the care and companionship they deserve. Being a veterinary nurse also means I’m very used to structured routines and planning ahead, so you can feel confident that your pet’s feeding times, walks, medication and daily routine will always be followed carefully 🩺🐾 Caring for animals is something I genuinely love, so spending my free time looking after pets fits perfectly into my lifestyle 🤍 Your pet’s safety and wellbeing will always be my highest priority 🤍 As a Registered Veterinary Nurse with over 10 years of experience, I am trained to recognise changes in behaviour, health and wellbeing, giving owners extra reassurance while their pets are in my care. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality, routine and individual needs so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. Whether your pet is playful and energetic or shy and cautious, I adapt my approach to ensure they feel safe and relaxed. I am passionate about fear-free handling, meaning I always aim to minimise stress and create calm, positive experiences for pets. This is especially important for nervous animals or those who may struggle with new environments. I will always respect your home and your pet’s usual routine — following feeding schedules, walk routines and medication instructions carefully 🐶🐱 As a pet owner myself, I know how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone new. That’s why I treat every animal with the same level of care, patience and compassion as I would my own 🐾💚 You can relax knowing your pet is being looked after by someone qualified, experienced and genuinely passionate about animal welfare.
About: I’ve been a huge animal lover all my life; owning dogs, cats, reptiles & guinea pigs over the years. I’m experienced from large breed dogs (my own girl was a GSDxLab), to small breed dogs (regularly boarded a little pug called Marcy). I can’t wait to spend time with your fur babies and provide them the love and enrichment they need while you work!! Currently working a 4 day shift pattern, which can change from week to week, but I’ll update my availability to reflect this. I live close to lots of green space so there’s lots of options for long & short walks, and I also drive so I’m more than happy to take them on a big day out if that’s preferred. I have a large, fenced off garden with a padlocked gate. The house also has multiple security cameras too, covering all entry points. I don’t have crates, but I have plenty of space for them if provided. Your fur baby would have full access in the house, I don’t mind them exploring or using furniture.
“Couldn’t have asked for a better service. Neoma was super friendly, came over for a meet and greet. Kept me informed throughout and did an amazing job looking after my dog. Would absolutely recommend to anyone 🙂 Thanks Neoma!”
“I was looking for a walker to replace my only walker I’ve had in three and a half years who had a perfect 100% record so big shoes to fill. Matthew has made the transition to new walker for Kevin(3 1/2 yo staffie) so seamless I’ve barely noticed the difference.Excellent timekeeping and great communication with a thorough Rover report card and checking to see if mine and Kevin’s needs are met. I will be using Matthew as my new regular weekly walker and I would highly recommend him to look after you furry friend.”
About: I am a big animal lover and had a rescue dog for 9 years where I have done behaviour training and helped her to socialise. I also look after several of my friends dogs and cats regularly who all feel trust and reassurance that they will be well looked after. I have been volunteering at a dog rescue shelter for over 12 years too including doing inductions to new volunteers, dog walking and playing with dogs in the exercise yards, and experience with all types of dogs including reactive, nervous and senior dogs. I am currently studying a Level 4 Diploma course in Canine welfare, training and behaviour to extend my knowledge. I am honest, reliable, flexible and adaptable and am often free during the week including weekends and evenings so I try to be available to meet your needs and help out when I can. I offer a pre-meet and greet and listen to your pets needs so they will be well looked after. I will look after your animal with care, food, medication, love and exercise requests, and follow instructions. I will send regular updates and photos for your peace of mind and reassurance. I am fully understandable of rescue, nervous and senior dogs and am DBS checked. I only offer services in non-smoking/non-vaping homes.
About: I’ve taken care of pets for the majority of my life whether it be my own cats or family and friends dogs and cats. I’ve always loved taking care of animals and helping out so taking them for walks or looking after them for periods of time when needed, making sure they’re happy and well looked after brings me so much joy. I am currently working from home trying to start my own photography business so i am very flexible and can provide drop in visits/ walking services whenever needed. I will always keep your dogs safe and on the lead when on walks, as well as always checking with you on whether your dogs are okay to interact with other dogs on the walk or not, if they are i will always keep an eye on body language and other signs of stress when they are around other dogs. Your dogs safety and happiness is my main priority when looking after them When doing drop in visits i will make sure your cat/dog has food in their bowl, has been to the toilet and has had a good amount of play/cuddle time. I am happy to do drop in visits for longer if you need me to! as long as both you and your furry friend are happy then i don’t mind!. I will also make sure the house is safe, ensuring doors and windows are locked upon leaving.
About: I’ve helped my partner look after many different types of dogs over the last few years, from German Shepherds to Teacup Dachshunds. I’m now looking for dog walking opportunities of my own. I have owned dogs for 35 years and I’m currently the owner of an 8 year old Springer Spaniel and a 10 year old miniature Yorkshire Terrier (these 2 won’t be joining me on the walks). I’m willing to offer solo dog walks where required. I’m currently studying Counselling and splitting care for my elderly father with my family, this allows me some free time during the week to fit in local dog walking. I always walk other people’s dogs on a lead and try and cover as much ground as possible to give the dog and myself a good amount of exercise (unless the dog is elderly or I have been given precise instructions on how to walk a dog)
“Very pleasant young lady. I booked Yarah to take my dog out for a midday walk. The meet and greet went great and she was eager to learn all she could about my dogs personality and his temperament. After the walk she discussed everything with me and was open and honest about how it went. Would definitely recommend Yarah she is passionate about all animals.”
About: I have over 25 years of experience caring for dogs and run Ruby’s Retreat, a home-from-home boarding service in Dukinfield. As a Rover Star Sitter with 33 five-star reviews, I provide personalised care in a calm family environment. I work from home, meaning dogs receive company, supervision and attention throughout the day. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, rescue dogs, nervous dogs, medication administration and multi-dog households. Every dog is treated as an individual and I take time to learn their personality, routine and preferences so they feel safe, relaxed and settled during their stay. I carefully manage group dynamics and only accept dogs that I feel will be a good fit for the environment, ensuring a positive experience for everyone. I work from home full-time, which means dogs are rarely left alone and receive plenty of supervision, attention and companionship throughout the day. Each day includes garden access, exercise, playtime, rest periods and lots of interaction. I adapt routines to suit individual dogs, whether they prefer active days, quiet companionship or a little of both. I am flexible with feeding schedules, medication requirements and established routines to help your dog feel comfortable and settled during their stay. At Ruby’s Retreat, dogs stay in a calm family home with secure outdoor space and are treated as part of the family. I carefully manage introductions and group dynamics to ensure dogs are well matched and comfortable with one another. Every dog receives individual attention and I take time to understand their personality, routine and any specific needs before their stay. Dogs are welcome on furniture and have access to both indoor and outdoor spaces throughout the day. However, I am always happy to follow an owner’s preferred rules and routines to maintain consistency. Regular photo and video updates are provided throughout your dog’s stay, giving you complete peace of mind while you’re away.

“Nicola looked after Frodo for a full week and did a wonderful job. He was clearly happy, well cared for, and settled when I picked him up. Nicola kept me updated and treated Frodo like one of her own. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her and would happily book with her again.”
“Felt so at ease Gallardo staying with Daniel, he’s a lovely man and you can tell he’s passionate about what he does. He sent me regular updates and pictures. If your looking for someone to look after your pooch and it to be a home to home experience look no further. 5*”
“Penny had such a lovely stay with Steve, considering it was a last minute booking! Penny is a bit more wary of men, but she really took to him and trusted him from the start. It was lovely to see their bond when I came to pick her up, she was wagging her tail and jumping up at him, almost as if she’d had too much fun and didn’t want to leave. Steve sent me regular updates about Penny, including photos from their walks and photos of her around the house. She looked very settled and well looked after. Penny takes thyroid medication every morning and she is currently taking eyedrops twice a day - I left some notes regarding these, and Steve remembered exactly what to do and when. I felt very reassured, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Steve again. I can’t recommend him enough.”
“From the first message Tracy and Dani made sure fynn’s welfare and comfort was at the forefront of their care. Meet and greet was arranged and straight away I knew they were the people to look after my baby while I was away. He had his overnight stay last night to settle into new surroundings with new people and he absolutely loved it! I was so nervous at first having fynn never stayed in boarding before but they made me feel so reassured giving me regular updates on how fynn was doing and what he was up to. He enjoyed himself so much he can’t wait to stay again! Couldn’t recommend Tracy and Dani enough for any dog sitting needs because they are just amazing and really do treat your dog like their own and it’s really so lovely to see🤍”
“Nellie and Lucy had a wonderful stay thank you for all your kindness and care! I wouldn’t hesitate to ask you to look after our two little treasures in future, much appreciated Heather”

“We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter than Stasys! He was absolutely amazing with Fifi and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. Fifi can be quite reactive, so we really appreciated how patient and understanding he was, and how he adjusted everything to suit her needs. He kept us updated throughout with lots of photos and videos, which we absolutely loved. Fifi looked so happy, relaxed and well cared for in every single one, and it was clear that she was getting plenty of attention and care. He also kept us informed whenever anything came up, which gave us so much reassurance. Stasys made the whole experience completely stress-free. We would definitely trust him with Fifi again. 😊”
“Excellent experience. I was able to meet Kodjo in advance with Polly so they could get acquainted before her stay. Kodjo kept me updated and sent pictures of Polly out walking and relaxing. Polly seemed very contented when I picked her up. Very happy”

Would recommend to anyone who needs a great, safe and fun place for their dog to stay! We will definitely be using again on our next holiday!”
“Matthew was a fantastic pet sitter for my dog, Inky. He was friendly, reliable, and kept Inky active and happy throughout his stay. It was clear that he genuinely cared for him and made sure he was well looked after. I would definitely book Matthew again in the future and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
“Jack was really good. He obviously had a real affinity with his own poodle, Dandy, and extended that to our Mylo. Jack took Mylo walking and sent us regular updates including photos & videos. We were extremely satisfied 😊”
“I can not thank Laura and Jay enough for looking after Millie. I was sent pictures and video of her stay and have to say, she looked like she was having so much fun. This was the first time I had left her with anyone, and I was nervous but I need not have been , as she was so well looked after. They are great people who I would highly recommend. There beautiful home is well situated and offers plenty of fields to run and play, and that was just me. If you are looking for someone who you can trust with your own pet, you need not look any further. Thanks again guys, so pleased I found you. Steve and Millie.”
“Thank you so much for taking such amazing care of Tyrion and Eric. Being away from them is always hard, but knowing they were happy, loved, and truly looked after made us feel completely at ease. We came home to two very content dogs, which says everything. We’re so grateful and wouldn’t trust anyone else. X”

“Jack was brilliant at caring for Enzo over the weekend. He treated him as if he were his own. Enzo went on so many walks, had trips to the pub and cafes and came back to us happy and extremely tired from all of his adventures. Communication throughout was excellent, and we received lots of photos and updates on how he was getting on. 5 stars, and Enzo will definitely be staying again soon.”
“Wilf had a great time with Chloe and Anthony. They looked after him for a night and we had updates and photos throughout on walks and at playtime so we knew he was ok and enjoying himself. Wilf would definitely love to stay with them again! Thanks guys x”

We’d love to book with you again soon ❤️🐶”
