“Thank you for having Luna, the pictures you took were really nice. She seemed to be having a lovely time. Looking forward to you having her again. Carolyne and Barry.”


“Ellie and Ryan recently looked after my dog Bandit and were absolutely fantastic. They were very professional, quickly organising a meet and greet with him on a short walk in the local area. It was great chatting to Ryan and hearing all about passionate they both are about dogs. I couldn't be happier with the care Bandit received over the three days, he was spoilt rotten with fuss, toys and walks and I received multiple video and photo updates over the three days which were great to see. By the time I picked him up I'm not sure he wanted to leave! I would thoroughly recommend Ellie and Ryan to anyone looking for a professional and reliable dog sitter, I'm looking forward to using them again next time.”


“So happy to find Caroline. Mully stayed for the night. Mully came back to me so happy. He obviously had a great time. He also enjoyed their dog poppy company as well. Plenty of photos were sent which was great. I felt comfortable leaving him with Caroline. Would highly recommend.”


“Faye looked after our rescue dog Alma for the night and would highly recommend her. She sent regular photo updates and provided excellent communication both before and during the stay. And it was obvious that Alma had been well looked after! Wouldn’t hesitate to use Faye’s services again, thank you ☺️”


“Rex loved his time with Brandel and her beautiful family. He was treated like one of their own from the moment he arrived. I recived many lovely photos/video updates during his stay. We will definitely use Brandel again , I would recommend her very highly.”


“Chloe is lovely We had a pre sitting visit from Chloe where she met our boy. He happily went in to her house with her when we left him. Sadly on the 4th day he became unwell & my son had to pick him up & take to the vet where he was put to sleep. This was absolutely no reflection on the care Chloe gave him. He slipped a disc & became paralysed which the vet has explained could have happened at any time. He had a happy 4 days with Chloe & she sent me several photos & videos of him which is lovely as it shows he was a happy boy until the incident. I feel very sad that Chloe had to deal with this but unfortunately these things happen. I would definitely use Chloe again in the future. Thank you Chloe”


“Our lively Springer Spaniel loved his stay with Jacqueline, she made sure he's entertained and has enough stimulation whilst giving him plenty of cuddles. Jacqueline was very flexible with us, and made our one day at Victorious stress free, knowing Conker is being cared and we didn't have to rush back to collect him in the morning. We appreciate her great service and would highly recommend.”


“A return to Natalie again and again for our boy Frank, has the nicest off lead walks, completely loving family that lets him sleep on the bed. Always a huge thank you to Natalie and the Family! Would highly recommend, the best on here without a doubt xxx”


“Jack looked after my dog today his communicating was brilliant he also kept me updated with our Narla and sent pictures of her throughout the day he took her down the beach for a long walk Narla enjoyed her stay she absolutely loved poppy and chase I will definitely will book again thank you very much jack”


“Thanks for looking after Milo William, he's still so young and you understood his nervous reactivity. Really appreciate having the knowledge that he could be looked after while we were on holiday. And I can't believe he even watched him on his own giving his own beloved doggy to a family member to accommodate Milo as though they kind of hit it off it was best Milo was on his own . Hopefully he was a good enough puppy to come stay another time when needed. Thanks again. Sara”


About: Hi my name is Ellisia! A little about me, I was very luck to have Fostered 8-10 rescues from Europe in my home as a volunteer for a new leash for life charity (Hampshire based dog charity) in 2023. And rescued one of those of my own who is now a lover. Dog grooming assistant qualified, at Chichester college. I handled dog breeds or all shapes and sizes. And can bath, groom and trim nails. 2 months volunteering in Thailand in a dog sanctuary back in 2020. When I assisted with the running of the dog rescue centre. Bathing, feeding and comforting new rescues. And walking the resident dogs. Owned my own dog for 1 year now! And grew up with a family dog ( a Norfolk terrier) for 17years from the age of 11-28, she sparked my love for animals and dogs that’s for sure. Have been walking and sitting dogs for the last 2 years approximately along side my job which is work from home. With the intention to eventually do this full time.
