They offered to meet up before they were to look after our dog, and took into consideration everytging we said regarding feeding etc. We were given frequent updates and photos, ans they took our dog for long walks, which she loved! They have a lovely and gentle dog themselves, who got on well with our dog, so thats always a plus! Really friendly people, who knows how to properly care for your pet! Will definitely be using teresa in the future, as they really made us feel comfortable with leaving our dog with them.”
“This was my first time leaving Duggi with Helena and she was truly awesome! She really went out of her way to find out what he required for his stay and obviously cares deeply about giving the dogs in her charge the best possible experience. Helena sent me lots of photos and updates which was lovely. Duggi is already booked to go back to Helena when we go away on summer holiday and I’m sure he will have an amazing time! Thank you Helena 🙂”
“Rachel asked all the right questions to find out exactly what my dog's needs were. My dog settled in at Rachel's home straight away, Rachel gave her plenty of exercise and kept me updated on her progress. After one overnight stay my dog didn't want to leave! Will definitely book again and be confident that my dog's in good hands with Rachel.”
“Our staffy Thor has been living his best life during his short stay with Chenyan. She is so good at keeping in touch with photos and updates, I know he is well looked after. He loves his time with Mae the whippet and gets really excited to be spending time with them.”

“Laura and Christian are a lovely couple , who kept us updated with plenty of messages and photos. Bertie was well looked after and they were able to accommodate an extension to Bertie’s stay due to unforeseen circumstances. Thank you so much for looking after him !”
“This is the third time I’ve left Teddy with James, and I honestly couldn’t ask for a better person to look after him. From the moment we drop Teddy off, I know he’s in safe, loving hands. James is incredibly attentive, sends regular updates and photos, and makes sure Teddy gets plenty of exercise, playtime, and cuddles. Teddy always comes back happy, calm, and clearly well cared for – it’s obvious he feels completely at home with James. It’s such a relief to know I can travel without stressing, because James treats Teddy like family. I wholeheartedly recommend James to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely caring to look after their dog. We’ll definitely be back again!”
“Bowser was looked after extremely well by Claire and her girls. All communications ahead of his stay were great and I had no concerns despite this being his first time away from us. I wouldn’t hesitate leaving him under her supervision for any future stays”
“Amanda, Trevor, and their family took exceptional care of our two dogs. They were communicative, kind, and very attentive to our pups throughout the two-week stay. Our large dogs each have their quirks, and it's clear that Amanda and Trevor are both very knowledgeable and compassionate in the way they cared for them. Any pup would be lucky to stay with them!”

About: My husband David and I are experienced, reliable dog sitters who’ve grown up with dogs and regularly care for friends’ pets, from Cavapoos to GSPs. We have an adult male Vizsla who’s friendly, well socialised, and used to sharing his space. Because we both work from home, we’re able to be present all day, offering hands on care, reassurance, flexibility, and attention tailored to your dog. All care takes place in our home, where dogs are treated as part of the family. We provide a calm, safe, and secure environment and follow each dog’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, medication, and any special requirements. Our home is dog-friendly and supervised throughout the day as we both work from home. Dogs are introduced to our Vizsla gradually and safely, and we provide regular updates for peace of mind.
“Vanessa could not have been kinder to Rufus. They took such lovely care of him and sent me regular updates along the way. Such a responsible and friendly dog sitter - I will definitely book again when I’m in the area. Thank you!”
“Shilpi was very flexible and accommodating towards us and the needs of our 8 month old dog. Her dogs were very friendly and our dog seemed to settle in at her home. The photos and short updates sent to us while we were away were great to see that Frankie was fine.”
“Anna looked after our 2 year old Cavapoo Arthur. He has separation anxiety and we don't leave him often unless we have to. Anna was so gentle and understanding. She sweetly won him over in no time and we could relax knowing instinctively he was in good hands. Anna communicated to us which was so reassuring. She took him for walks and played with him. The photos she sent showed a relaxed Arthur having a great time. Thank you again Anna I will be bringing Arthur back to you.”

Emily was friendly, confident and genuinely interested in Teddy from the moment we connected. She was flexible and ensured she had all the necessary info before Teddys stay. She provided regular updates with photos and we felt she cared about Ted. Teddy had a wonderful time with walks play and attention
We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter. From the very beginning, communication was clear, friendly, and reassuring. Our dog felt comfortable quickly, and we received regular updates, photos, and little notes that gave us total peace of mind while we were away. What really stood out was the level of care and attention. This wasn’t just basic feeding and walking our dog was treated like part of the family. We would absolutely trust them again to take care of our dog and highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone reliable, caring, and genuinely invested in your pet’s wellb
My poodle, Penny, stayed with Sarah for two weeks while we went away. I was a bit apprehensive because it was the first time I’d ever left her, but Sarah was so reassuring and I knew Penny was in safe hands! Sarah sent regular photos and updates and was so accommodating. I could tell that Penny felt part of the family! It meant that I could really relax and enjoy my holiday and made all the difference. When we collected her Penny was really happy and had obviously been very well looked after. I would definitely leave Penny there again and can’t recommend her enough. Thank you so much, Sarah!
Ivory was fantastic - responsive, attentive, and genuinely understanding while she cared for my toy poodle for nearly two weeks. Along with her partner Andrew, she took the time to get to know him and offered thoughtful reassurance throughout, which made a real difference. I felt completely at ease trusting her with his care. I was really happy to see photos and videos of him enjoying himself at home and on his walks. Thank you so much! X Anrish
My dog was very well looked after. We did have a meet and greet before as kush is a big dog. I am so happy with the way yuet handled and looked after kush whilst I went on holiday. Yuets calm approach with kush and caring nature made me content he is in safe hands. I was regularly updated on the app but unfortunately the app wasn’t working on holiday hence why I was unable to message yuet but I could see I was receiving regular updates. Thank you so much yuet he definitely loved your balcony.
From being really worried about leaving my dogs with a relative stranger to being so pleased with how well they were looked after, Richard was brilliant. They’ve been so well looked after, home from home with lots of walks. We came home to totally relaxed and calm, even our needy spaniel who was so relaxed and who has fallen for Richards beautiful dog Moo. Will definitely be asking him to look after our dogs again, thank you Richard.
Jo and her family did a fantastic job looking after our excitable golden retriever. It was the first time we had her stay away from home and were put at ease from the first meeting. We got regularly photos and updates and didn’t need to worry about anything whilst away. It was lovely to know she was so well taken care of. Thank you so much!
I couldn’t have asked for a better person to look after my baby girl for the week. From the very beginning, I was super impressed by Saeed calm, kind, and beautifully gentle nature. It really put me at ease knowing she was in such caring hands. Not only was he wonderful with my dog, but he was also incredibly kind and warm towards me and my children, which meant so much. It’s rare to find someone so genuinely thoughtful and attentive. I would absolutely recommend Saeed to anyone looking for a safe, loving place for their dog to stay. Truly one of the most amazing and kind people you could hope to meet. Thank you so much for taking such beautiful care of my doggy – I’m so grateful! With Love Agnes/Leo and Lady
