“Amazing! Zoe and family including the fur babies are great. Very welcoming, Henry loves going here, pulls me all the way to the door. He’s settled great thanks to Zoe being the way she is. Have no qualms leaving Henry here and I was a very nervous, apprehensive first time apart dog mum, so all these fears are gone! Thank you for you and your family welcoming Henry in xxx”
“Lorraine was absolutely brilliant looking after our two boys. She gave lots of updates with pictures of them chilling out and going for walkies. She catered to any additional needs. It was lovely to know that they were in good hands and enjoyed their stay. Would definitely recommend :)”
About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life. I have always seen dogs as part of the family. A dog really is a girls best friend and since loosing mine in January it has became even more special for me to spend time with your fury family members. I am available everyday to offer walks, drop ins and day/overnight care. My day revolves around nice walks, cafe trips & making sure your furry friends have fun! I have a fenced garden. No other animals at the property. Plenty of space for animals to have their own space for sleeping/feeding if needed.
“Great family that made a home from home for Alfie , regular pictures and updates while at away . Would highly recommend to anyone. Plenty of communication pre stay and upon pre stay meet .”
“Brian returned to see Christine again for his first overnight and we had no doubt he was safe, secure and happy. Our dog can be quite standoffish at first and this was the case on his previous visit, but this time round, as is usually the case, he got more involved in his new surroundings. We look forward to Brian staying again and we're really grateful for the care and updates.”
About: The reason i am a pet sitter is because I love getting to know and looking after all animals of many shapes and sizes. This is my only job and I have been looking after my mums and friends dogs and cats for years but have only been doing this professionally for a year. I am available 6 days of the week but wednesday. I have always gotten along and connected deeply with animals, even when just meeting them. I dont have any issues I've your pet is hyperactive, shy, not vaccinated, or not spayed, but I would like prior notice. You'll be glad to know i have never had to deal with an emergency situation but on the off chance i will collect your vettinary service and pet insurance if applicable. When it comes to anxious pets i will let them come to me in their own time and ofcourse let them do the sniff test first. If you are considering me for looking after your fur baby in my home, please note, my partner likes to come with me and pet sit beside me and if you are not comfortable with that please let me know. I live with my partner in a flat and we have two kittens who are shy to begin with but very welcoming to new animals. I can't wait to meet your gorgeous fluff babies, I would be very happy to hear from you and to be considered to treat, play, and look after your pets. This is my current job so I have plenty of availability and time to play with your dogs and cats. I am available for all the pet care you need. I have a spacious and open living/dining room and my bedroom door is always open when boarding for pets, I work with my partner as its always good to have extra support if needed. If your pet needs crating, I dont provide that in my home and cannot do this, if I am looking after your pet in your home I am able to follow your pets routine, whatever it may entail.
About: I've always had a love for animals and can't help but to fall in love with every one that I meet! There's many reasons why you may need someone to help out and I understand the importance of finding (and trusting) the right person to care for your beloved fur babies. All I can say is that I will care for and love your pet(s) like they were my very own. I have a cat myself who has completley changed my life for the PAWsitive and in turn I have taught myself all about how their minds work and what helps them to thrive. Love definitely isn't an issue, but I know there are other important factors - I'm very detailed orientated and organised and will make sure that the care your pet receives falls into what you, as their parent, want and need! Working in a vet has given me knowledge about dogs and cats that I can utilise to maintain a happy, wholesome and most importantly, safe environment! I am home most of the time, so my daily/weekly schedule is very flexible. You let me know what works for you and we can take it from there! I can follow any specific requirements, such as dietary needs, specific times for walks/feeding, health issues and medication etc, so that their routines aren't disrupted and there won't be any issues once you are reunited!
“Anthony & Nina were so amazing with my girl Sidney. I was sent regular updates & pics and she looked so happy. I wouldn’t even consider anyone apart from them to look after her in the future. Lovely couple & lovely house, Sidney was very well looked after. Thank you so much Anthony & Nina”
“Andy looked after our dog Lottie overnight and we honestly couldn’t have asked for better care. From the moment we met him, it was clear how kind, trustworthy and genuinely caring he is with animals. Lottie settled immediately and was so happy and relaxed when we collected her. Andy kept us updated, treated her like one of his own, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It’s obvious he truly loves dogs and takes great pride in what he does. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him and will absolutely be using him again in the future. First class in every way!”
“Roksana was brilliant my two dogs. She sent plenty of updates, photos and videos. Took them on lots of walks. With one of them being quite anxious to start with, she really seemed to settle her which was reassuring, having lots of experience and knowledge about various breeds and their behaviours. Roksana clearly has a great love of dogs and they’ve had a ball! Will definitely be a repeat customer for my next trip away.”
About: I am an experienced, reliable dog lover offering a safe, calm and caring home-from-home for your dog. I’ve had dogs for many years and have experience with a range of breeds, ages and temperaments, including senior dogs. I lost my two elderly dogs last year, and I really miss having dogs around. My home is quiet and well-suited to dogs who prefer a relaxed environment, with my children now 17 and 18. I have a secure garden and live just two minutes from Upton Country Park, so your dog will enjoy plenty of walks and outdoor time. I offer boarding, weekend stays and holiday care, and I’m happy to stick closely to your dog’s usual routine. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you can relax while you’re away. I treat every dog as if they were my own and aim to give you complete peace of mind. I work locally (Monday–Friday) and am home around 50% of the time. When I’m not home, one or both of my children (17 and 18) are usually in, and they are confident and experienced with dogs, having grown up with them. At weekends, I’m home most of the time, so your dog will have plenty of company, attention, and longer walks. Your dog will have regular company, attention, and access to the garden for toilet breaks throughout the day, and will rarely be left alone. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, secure home environment with a fully enclosed garden for safe outdoor time. I ensure dogs are settled and comfortable, whether relaxing indoors or enjoying walks nearby. I stick closely to each dog’s usual routine, including feeding, exercise, and any specific needs. I only take a limited number of dogs at one time to ensure each one receives plenty of attention and care. I always check with owners regarding how their dog is with others, and I’m happy to care for dogs separately if they are more comfortable being the only dog. I’m always happy to follow your instructions so your dog feels as at home as possible. I have space for a crate if your dog prefers it for sleeping or relaxing, or large cushions for those who prefer a more open setup.
“Watson really enjoyed her stay. Adrienne was so understanding with us as it was the first time we were worried how she would get on. She is Supper caring and made her feel at home. Unless you know Watson she never looks happy and never takes a good photo but the updates we got through the day made us feel so much less anxious as we knew she was settled. Would totally recommend.”
“Absolutely Fantastic!! We have already requested some more dates . Kingsley and Dotti had an amazing time. We’re well cared for and came back really happy . Extremely accommodating!! 5 star service !! Highly recommend!!!!!”
“Remy our Rhodesian Ridgeback clearly had a great time. I'm not sure that he really wanted to come home, having made friends with Bailey and Ruby. Great communication from Una with pictures and video updates gave us real piece of mind. Thankyou!”
About: I recently volunteered in a dog shelter, working with all ranges of dogs, such as puppy’s to senior dogs to dogs that needed extra support. Responsibilities included feeding, walking, playing, cleaning kennels, socialising dogs, and assisting with general welfare needs. This experience strengthened my understanding of canine behaviour, patience, and the importance of providing compassionate, reliable care. I’ve recently returned from travelling and am currently looking for my next role, which means I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the week. Pet sitting fits perfectly into my routine right now, allowing me to give dogs lots of attention, exercise, and companionship while their owners are away. I have a secure fenced garden and live near lots of countryside, so there are plenty of opportunities for walks and outdoor time for dogs that enjoy being active. I provide lots of attention, playtime, and care, while following each pet’s usual feeding, walking, and care routine to help them feel happy and comfortable both in my home and in their owner’s home.
“Meeting Vishnu for the first time… very kind and helpful. Sent photos of Coco all the time and kept me updated on how she was doing. Coco thoroughly enjoyed her stay as she was very calm when I picked her up 😊”
“Unfortunately there is no option to give 6 stars. Shareen had been exceptional in taking care of my 3 month old cav pooch. As pet parents, we were extremely stressed about a pet boarder’s ability to manage a puppy but Shareen has ticked all possible boxes about how to take care of a puppy. I am definitely going to board with Shareen again. Definitely a star sitter.”

Can not express how grateful I was for Kerry! She made the whole process so easy before and during. Lots of communication, photos and videos! My To y had such a good time I’m not sure he really wanted to come home 😊 thank you to Kerry and her family for looking after my boy so well
Laura and Simon were fantastic! We have an anxious dachshund and always worry about leaving him but after Rufus met Laura and Simon we knew there was nothing to worry about. They made sure Rufus had a great day filled with play and cuddles! The photo and video updates put us at ease. We would definitely book with Laura and Simon again!
Vicky and Tom are very caring for Empress. It’s always a challenge to provide care to a new dog for boarding, especially additional challenge under the heatwave of over 30 degrees. Vicky and Tom prepared Empress cooling mat and fan to keep her cool under the extreme scorching weather. Very grateful to have their love and patience with Empress who is always an anxious dog, but she feels safe and settled with them. Thank you very much for the photos and the updates. I would highly recommend Vicky for boarding and I definitely will seek her help again for Emoress’ next boarding😊 Thank you very much Vicky and Tom🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 Very appreciate your help the last 2 nights to take care of Empress🐶🐶🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🥰😊😊
Kerry looked after Harry overnight until the next evening. I am on holiday and I had arranged for a friend to pick Harry up and carry on with his boarding. Unfortunately they were later than anticipated at picking Harry up, but Kerry was excellent and said it was not a problem. I would certainly recommend Kerry and I would definitely let Kerry look after Harry again.
Charlotte and Dan were amazing from the off set! The communication from the messages to sending photos of our boy throughout his stay was so reassuring. Bruno had the best time on his mini holiday! Would 100% recommend and will use Charlotte and Dan again in the future! Thankyou! 😊
Maisy again looked after our dog Ralph for several nights giving us regular updates to let us know how he was doing. As well Maisy sends photos and videos to show he’s settled in and happy! Couldn’t wish for a more caring person and will definitely use her again. We go away and know that Ralph is safe content and getting lots of loving cuddles and walks. Thank you Maisy!
I was anxious to leave my pet with someone as this was my first experience with a sitter but Adrienne and Lyle made me feel at ease from the very beginning. Henry can be a nervous dog and has his quirks but they listened and did their best to understand everything I had to say about him. Throughout Henry's stay we remained in contact and I received regular updates and photos of Henry throughout which made me feel much more relaxed seeing he was having a good time and was in good hands. Adrienne and Lyle followed all my instructions and went above and beyond to make Henry feel at home during his first stay. I would strongly recommend them as pet sitters as they are very knowledgable and equipped and it's apparent they love animals. Thank you so much!
I’ve had dogs my whole life and met many dog sitters and trainers — and Samantha is truly a 10/10. She made me feel completely comfortable leaving my dog in her care, kept me updated throughout, and went above and beyond in every way. She’s an incredible dog sitter, and I’m so grateful for her help. Thank you
Thank you for taking so good care of Dolly!!!! Lovely lady , booking went smoothly, she could accommodate my dog as a last minute need. During the boarding time I received lots of pictures and videos of my dog very happy as it was at home. The food I provided wasn't t enough(my mistake) but Georgeta was so kind and went to buy her favourite food. Thank you and will definitely contact her again next time
