“Kirsty was amazing with Ralph, super responsive to messages and always kept us up to date. I could tell he was well looked after and had plenty walks, he was so content when we picked him up. 5 stars!”


“Natasha is lovely, warm and caring. She looked after Gizmo with care and consideration for his habits and requirements. I received updates and photos during his stay at hers. Highly recommended, will use her again”



About: I have been around animals/pets all my life and regularly look after family and friends dogs.I live close to a big field for runs and walks, your pet will be well looked after with me, the last dog I looked after did not want to leave me! I also have experience with dogs with challenging behaviour or whether they don't like other dogs etc and need to kept on the lead or need walks in quieter places with no dogs around. I also have experience with senior dogs who were blind. Hope to hear from you soon. I work term time in a school which means I have all the holidays off. In that time your pet will have all my attention. Can do weekends also. I have a large back yard which is fenced aswell as the front. I live very close to a large field. I can cater to any needs of your pet, they can sleep in their bed/crate but I am more than happy to let them in my bed, sofa etc, your pet can make themselves at home with me, like a home away from home. I don't have any pets myself and have no young children my kids are teenagers.

“Rachel is a great dog sitter ! I highly recommend her. I’ve left Eddie with her for 5 days and got daily updates from Eddie with pics and Eddie was really well taken care of. Will definitely use her services again!”


About: I've owned a dog for the past 14 years and am highly experienced in walking and taking care of active pets. Happiest out walking come rain or shine. I'm currently at working at home painting in the studio so am very flexible for doggy care days. Happy to walk dogs locally in mornings and evenings either on the beach or local woods. We have a well fenced secure garden with high walls and grassy playing area. The house is open plan with easy cleaning floors. No pets are allowed upstairs but a warm, comfortable space for sleeping is available in the kitchen/living area.

“Olena and her son gave Fezziwig the best time while we were away for a long weekend 😊. What we liked about Olena is that she was really keen to know what Fezziwig liked right from the beginning. We received some lovely photos and videos regularly and this was so reassuring while we were abroad. Fezziwig was having the best time and this meant we could too. He was able to enjoy playing with his tennis balls on a walk and Olena ensured she gave that priority as she understood that was important to help him settle. In fact Fezziwig settled right away and when we collected him at the end he was calm, happy and had been well loved. We fully recommend Olena as a dog sitter as she really cares for dogs and they are happy around her. Thanks Olena and your family…until the next time. 😊”


“We couldn’t be happier with the service we received from Abby. Along with many photos, videos and updates, it was highly reassuring to know Ruby was happy and well cared for. And a quick word for her gorgeous Poodle Cookie who I feel certain helped Ruby settle in. I would not hesitate to book Abby again and recommend her to anyone. I feel certain we will be using Abby again and again in the future.”


“As this was our fist real weekend away from Stan, we were both nervous. By meeting Tracey before booking, it made the whole process a lot easier and getting to know both Tracey and Stu beforehand put our minds at rest. Stan had a fantastic time staying with them. We received daily updates and pictures so it was easier to enjoy our holiday knowing our little man was being well looked after. It was clear they have a strong love for animals and a lot of knowledge too having previously grown up with and owning big dogs in the past. We knew Stan would be in great hands and we can’t thank them enough for making this whole process as easy as possible for the dog and humans”


“This was the first time Craig and his family had looked after my dog and I feel reassured that he had listened and digested all I had to say about her characteristics and needs and then continued on to provide her with everything she needed. He also kept me well informed with timely messages and photos as to how everything was going so I could relax and enjoy my time away. It's not easy to take on someone else's beloved pet for the first time and it sounds like he took the time to really get to know her. I'm only sorry she didn't prove more of a play mate for Dobby - being a bit matronly! Maybe next time...”


“Flexible, welcoming, and our dog had such a lovely time (you could really tell when we picked him up!) We got sent lots of pics to keep us informed. Thank you so much!”


“Absolutely brilliant !! Really sweet and caring personality and Mochi my Maltipoo enjoy the stay with her family. Mochi gets lots tummy rubs and cuddles from her girls too which Mochi absolutely loves. I also get lots pictures of Mochi everyday from her.”


“We have a 3 legged disabled Rottweiler who has vulnerabilities and can be very cautious with people she doesn’t know. We contacted Jake who went out of his way to adapt his home for her as she struggles with smooth wooden floors. We tried an overnight stay to see how she is and how he bonds with her. Jake went above and beyond to accommodate Xena. We then went on our family holiday and he sent regular updates and worked on the bond and building the trust with Xena over the 2 week period. He gained her trust to overcome her vulnerabilities and we got regular updates and photos. I would highly recommend Jake. He put our minds at ease knowing our dog was getting what she needed and was well looked after. Thanks Jake 👍”


“Sophie has looked after our black lab Barney for 5 days and he has had the best time with her and her cocker spaniel Eddie. We’ve had regular updates and he’s been so well looked after. We wouldn’t hesitate to have him stay with Sophie again!”


“Jack's first (and definitely NOT his last!) stay with Ros & Charles. They welcomed Jack into their home & looked after him so well for us, he settled in straight away. He's an anxious border collie, but they took all his "foibles" into their plans, and made sure he was always happy. We had regular updates & some lovely photos. He got 10/10 on his end of stay report - lots of positive feedback! Ros & Charles have a wonderfully safe enclosed garden, and live on a nice quiet road, so it was perfect for Jack. Looking forward to booking him in with them again soon! Highly recommended.”

“Rachel is a great dog sitter ! I highly recommend her. I’ve left Eddie with her for 5 days and got daily updates from Eddie with pics and Eddie was really well taken care of. Will definitely use her services again!”


Tom P.
“I've known Tom for over 6 years now, during which I often looked after his dog Barney when Tom was away for work. Barney unfortunately passed away recently, having lived a long and happy life with Tom. Tom has always been kind to Barney, who was very bonded to his owner. Tom has had dogs for many years, so he is an experienced dog owner and handler, and I have no doubt that Tom would look after somebody else's dog very well. He lives in a big house with a big garden, opposite a little park and very close to a fabulous beach, so dogs can look forward to beach walks and chill-out time in a private, secure garden.”
