“Vicky and her family were brilliant. They all really looked after my dog Archie who looked like he was having the best time with them. He was treated like one of the family. Vicky kept me up to date with messages and pictures of and about Archie almost daily which made me and my family smile and laugh with his antics. Would most definitely recommend Vicky to take care of your furry family member. Thankyou Vicky so very much.”


“The second sleepover attempt, and it was a success! The Boys are very familiar with Alison's place and very comfortable around her now. Alison is an experienced genuine dog lover; she observes well and quickly analyses the personality, characters and behaviour of each dog. Alison is also well-organised. She always returns everything nice and clean, including food bowls, treat containers, etc. Thanks again, Alison. Until next time!”


“I loved all the photos and video to show my dog looking very relaxed and happy, he obviously had a great time and was given lots of attention. I’ll definitely be booking again in the future.”


“Anna and family are lovely. Really helpful, made Clancy feel at home and he got loads of exercise and affection. Drop-off and pick-up was made really easy, even when times had to change. Anna posted lots of photos and feedback. We will definitely be booking Anna again.”


“Baffy was so well looked after by Hannah and Jordan, many thanks. Secure private garden, regular walks to a network of local parks and the beach and plenty of playing in between. His likes and preferences were all catered for. I would unhesitatingly recommend Hannah and Jordan for your dog's worry-free stay”


About: I provide pet care with a focus on creating a safe, loving, and stress-free environment that feels just like home. With years of hands-on experience. I’m skilled at adapting to each animal's unique personality and needs. I provide regular updates, photos, and videos so you can stay connected with your pet. I know how important it is to feel close to them, even from afar. Every pet is treated as if they were my own, with genuine affection and respect for their well-being and happiness. I currently work from home so can provide constant play and toilet breaks whenever needed. I have no specific days for boarding as long as this works for me I am willing to offer boarding I have a fenced in large garden. I have a 9 year old daughter who has grown up around dogs. I no longer have any animals of my own after we lost our boarder collie suddenly last year, we have since decided to provide a safe haven for others.

“Jo looked after our dog for the first time this weekend (overnight). Lovely warm and friendly woman, lovely home with a secure garden, and she clearly understands dogs. When we picked Lola up the next day she was so relaxed and content she was asleep on one of their beds and didn’t get up for us…..I think she would quite happily have moved in! Highly recommended and we hope to use her again if we go away. Thankyou Jo and family for looking after her xx”


“It Nora's first time not being with family. Anie was so welcoming and patient with her. She sent lots of photos of their day together which was so reassuring. I am definitely rebooking and would highly recommend.”


“I want to say that Emily and Charlie were excellent they looked after my dog Lucky for 6 days and he was part of the family. I would highly recommend them as dog sitters and I will definitely use them again.”


About: We have had Milo for 8 years and regularly look after my best friends bedlington whippet. We will treat your dog like our own with lots of love. Joel works from home full time so is very flexible. I've just graduated from vet school, but don't start working until mid September, so I am around all day during the summer. We are very relaxed and will allow the dogs to be on the sofa and bed. We have a fenced garden and can let the dogs out as often as you would like us to. We would never leave your dog alone. Milo has lots of food allergies so we are very sensible and don’t leave food lying around etc.

“We are so happy to have found Ben. Our Husky is quite an anxious girl and in the 7years she has been with us she has never stayed outside her own home. On first meeting with Ben she was very comfortable with him so we had no worry about her staying with him. We had lots of photos and messages letting us know how she was getting on. We have her booked in again and know we have found a wonderful sitting companion for Pen when we are away. Thank you Ben x”


About: I have always owned animals.. from a dog that grew up with me, whom I adored, multiple cats I truly loved and took care of, to 5 beautiful rats! I am an absolute animal lover. I’ve finally moved away from home where my grandma was a regular dog sitter (to which I ended up walking the dogs!) to a flat where I’m feeling lonely, I can’t afford a pet of my own, so it would be an honour to share my home with a pet, even for a little while I am a trained photographer so guaranteed you will walk away with professional pictures of your beloved pet, just because I love the subjects! I am currently working weekends, free most weekdays, I want to leave my current job, I would be happy to gain rapport with Animal owners for this to become my sole job! I will understand that no matter the animal, they will be my boss, I will dedicate my time to your loved animal, whatever routine they follow will be implemented to the letter!

“Beth and her family are genuinely some of the nicest people I’ve met. My dog was a little a**hole adolescent boxer and was going through a particularly difficult period and Beth was such a superstar with him. It’s always hard knowing your pet is being difficult but she did everything to make sure we weren’t worrying and could enjoy the wedding we were attending. Really appreciated her patience and kindness with our boy - he’s a sweet dog but gets easily frustrated and struggles to deal with his emotions. Thank you Beth!”


“Obee had another great day with Liam.....we had coffee together in the park near liams house and it was lovely to be able to exchange information face to face....Liam is very knowledgeable about dogs and puppies and we are learning lots from him too ! So pleased we have found a wonderful person to look after Oberon !”


About: I started taking care of my family dog when I was 12 years old, and ever since then, I’ve loved spending time with pets. I have experience with feeding, walking, playing, and giving pets the love and attention they need when their owners are away. I work night shifts on a 3-days-on, 3-days-off rotation, which gives me regular free time during the week and some weekends. Since I live alone and can’t have a dog full-time, I’d absolutely love the chance to help care for someone else’s! I always treat pets like they’re part of the family—whether they’re staying in my care or I’m looking after them in their own home. I make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable by sticking to their routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, play, and rest.

About: Growing up, my family had a large German Shepherd named Chico who I absolutely adored and would spend large amounts of time playing with. This is where my love for big dogs began. After moving from my parents, I was unable to get my own dog due to not finding suitable accommodation. However, I managed to get many hours of caring for my nieces boarder collie in. Reggie, the collie in question, was my first experience with a reactive dog. After months of doing my own research and training Reggie (and my niece) we saw some real progress in his behaviour. Fast forward a year and I was training my own, very large, very reactive Catahoula/Labrador. Training such a large, powerful dog and working alongside an incredibly skilled dog trainer taught me so much and helped me build my confidence with dogs that needed a little more patience and work. Because of these experiences, I am more than happy to work alongside pets that others may not be. I would be offering more than just a walking/sitting service and am happy to use my knowledge to help owners train their pets if desired. Please send me a message for my availability as I work shifts but am happy to move things about when I can. I will always want to meet a dog before sitting/walking then to ensure we are the right fit for one another! My care for your pet will always vary greatly depending on their own needs and personality. I will always ask to meet the pet and owner first to discuss any care requirements they have and to make sure we are a good for for one another

Sara B.
“Sara is a patient and dedicated animal lover. She works hard to ensure dogs are having their personal needs met and will go above and beyond to help any animal out. I've seen the learning curve in her working with increasingly difficult dogs and watched her figure out how to tackle any problems that come here way. She helped me in loose leash walking for my Collie, who would tug on the leash so hard it would choke him. It was a bit of trial and error, but after a couple of months I can confidently walk my dog with a coffee in hand and not have to worry about him yanking me over!”


David P.

“David kept us updated throughout Elsa's stay with photos and messages. We could see that Elsa was happy and relaxed and being well looked after. Thankyou!”
