Ella and Kiki are home now after spending a week with Sue and her husband. They have had the best time which was shone by smiles on their faces from the photos and daily updates from Sue. Would highly recommend and will be using again.

Ruth was an absolute blessing. Communication was too notch and was happy to arrange a meet and greet. Albert came back very content and had regular walks. Ruth also provided me with updates of how they were all getting on. Would definitely recommend.

It was a perfect 1st stay away from home. Millie was made very welcome and Aga helped her to settle and maintained her routine. Aga couldn't have been more accommodating or caring and her updates with regular photos showing Millie happy and enjoying herself were very reassuring. A great dog minder that I will use again and would be happy to recommend.

Maria and her partner are just top quality people and the service they had provided was top quality. I was going away to London for a celebration, they invited us over the evening before I was due to go away so Benny could explore there home and meet who he’s going to spend a couple of days with straight away it was clear Benny was going to be very happy. I dropped Benny of early the next morning Maria and her partner took Benny straight out on a walk and he loved every minute of his little trip. Maria sent me frequent updates with how Benny was going along with photos and videos. Benny was very settled and very happy with the care he received. Would recommend 100% highly and would use Maria again. Top quality care. Thank you again for everything.

Sarah provided outstanding care for our dog, Sully. Sarah was reliable and clearly experienced in handling dogs with warmth and professionalism. We especially appreciated the updates and photos, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Sully was returned to us happy and relaxed. We highly recommend Sarah to anyone seeking a trustworthy and dedicated pet sitter.

Joan and her husband Phil gave my boy Diesel a great time, walks on the beach and a lot of cuddles on the couch. I’m sure he would have stayed longer if he’d had the choice 😄.

About: March 2026: I’ve been a spaniel owner for 15 years - puppies through to seniors. I’ve had my working cocker, Frankie, since he was 8 weeks old and trained him myself. He’s now 5 and, like most spaniels, loves everyone! I have also looked after friend’s dogs over the last few years. Prior to Frankie, I rescued 2 male american cocker spaniels that had never been socialised. They certainly tested me but I learnt a lot from the experience. As a dog owner, when I’m looking for a sitter myself, I’m looking for someone who is capable, confident and calm. I need to feel a certain energy and know that my dog will be exercised safely and cared for with kindness. I can offer all of this. I can only consider dogs up to 18kg in weight. I work from home for my husband’s business and can manage my own time. My day always starts with walking Frankie, sometimes in Upton Country Park and sometimes Hamworthy park. I’m out for another walk mid afternoon and if weather permits Frankie will spend part of the day mooching around the garden. I’m fine with special requirements and I can accommodate short walks for seniors if required. I have a fully secure, large garden. Also, plenty of space indoors, a large kitchen diner and a utility room. I have a puppy pen and a large crate if required. Frankie has been sleeping in his bed in the corner of my bedroom but my preference would be for him to sleep downstairs if he has a companion.

Sharon is the first person I've used on the app and she was absolutely brilliant! She immediately made me feel comfortable, and kept in touch whilst I was away sending photos and videos of my pup with her family, on walks and looking very content which eased my nerves. Sharon was really accommodating when we were caught in traffic and unable to make it back at the stated time. Thank you Sharon for making Hollie so welcome.
