“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.”


“Couldn't be any happier. Kejia has done an incredible job looking after my boy. Will definitely consider her again and again if I need to. Thanks for keeping my boy Healthy and very happy”


About: I treat every dog like my own - providing calm, loving, reliable care tailored to their need. Trusted, experienced, and fully focused and your dog’s happiness. Caring for dogs naturally fits my calm, structured routine - plenty of time for walks, play, cuddles, and company. It’s part of my day, not an extra. Dogs stay happy with space to roam, play, and relax. Our open-plan home, secure garden, and peaceful woodland walks offer fun, freedom, and comfort daily.

“Shan is so lovely, she kept me updated with how my dog was doing, sent regular photos , which put my mind at rest. I would definitely recommend her and would ask her to look after my dog again. Thanks Shan x”


“I'm so glad to share that I had a wonderful experience with Charlotte and her partner while my dog, Oli, was boarded with them! They took such great care of him, and I loved getting regular updates and photos while we were away. It really brought me peace of mind. I’m definitely planning to use their services again in the future!”


“We used Kataryna to look after our crazy pooch Pablo and he had a lovely time. We got regular updates and photos of his walks. He got dirty on his walks and was kindly cleaned up when we went to pick him up. Thank you again and highly recommended. Raj”


“Cathy looked after our girl Tilly perfectly whilst we were away for a day! Tilly had great fun on her walks, made friends with Cathy’s dog, and was really well loved in our absence. We got regular updates on how Tilly was getting on, and I would highly recommend Cathy for their dog care needs ☺️🐾”


About: As an Animal Welfare–licensed dog sitter with certified canine first aid training, I provide more than just pet care—I offer peace of mind. Every dog that enters our home is welcomed like family, surrounded by genuine love, safety, and joyful attention. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or calm companionship, I’m committed to making your pup feel happy, secure, and completely at ease. Your dog won’t be lonely—our friendly resident pup loves company and adds to the homely, pack-like atmosphere. You can count on clear communication, reliability, and tailored care that respects your dog’s unique personality and routine. Their comfort and well-being are always my highest priority. I work from home with a flexible schedule, giving me plenty of time for cuddles, playtime, and potty breaks—your dog will never feel alone! I am available Mon - Sun for doggy day care and boarding. Your dog will stay in a secure, clean, and relaxed home environment with plenty of space to play, nap, and explore. I'm licensed and trained in canine first aid, so safety is always top priority. I monitor dogs closely for any signs of discomfort, anxiety or change in behaviour. Our resident dog is friendly and loves having furry company, helping your pup feel instantly part of the pack. Walks are tailored to each dog’s age and energy level, and I offer supervised garden time in a fully fenced, secure space.

“Joanne and Phanos have been amazing looking after our dog, Bailey! They're friendly, responsive, and very clearly absolutely love dogs. Bailey has stayed with them a couple of times now, this was the first time overnight, and she always comes home happy and tired out from playing. As the owner of an anxious leash-reactive dog, it can be difficult to find sitters who can appreciate and deal with Bailey's quirks and anxieties, but Joanne & Phanos have been brilliant with her and even managed to take her out for a walk when she stayed (which is no easy task if there's other dogs around!). They sent pictures of her playing and cuddling very regularly which we definitely appreciated. I'd highly recommend them to anyone considering sending them a request!”


“Ted had a lovely time with Ann and her family. He settled really quickly and got on well with the other dogs there, which was good as it was his first time away from home and us at the same time. We were sent lots of updates and photos during the week. Ann showed great care for Ted and we would definitely use her again. Thank you!”


“We met Melanie just once before our trip overseas and at first instance we knew she was lovely! She replied to my enquiry immediately and was kind enough to meet us at short notice despite the festive season. She and her dog were so friendly and she invited us inside her home, talked and totally reassured us that our Barney would be looked after just like her dog, and that’s exactly what she did. Melanie is lovely, very good with dogs, she kept us updated with messages and pictures the whole time. I highly recommend her services and her dog is so calm and gentle too, my Barney was happy and no issues at all! We look forward to many more doggy days/sleepovers again. Thanks so much Melanie, we really appreciate you x”


About: My boyfriend, Jake and I are both big animal lovers and have grown up surrounded by pets. Experience with both cats and dogs, and particularly cats with diabetes. I’m currently working flexibly from home every day, so can fit dog walks and looking after both dogs and cats around my schedule very easily. We have a fenced garden, and I’d be present in the garden any time we let the dog out to the garden just to make sure all is ok.

“Fantastic dog sitter and family. Sorry we cannot give more stars. Fergus was there overnight because we were at a wedding in the beautiful Stanlake vinery which is 10mins away. Ideal if you want your dog to make an appearance but then cared for, later in the day. Very highly recommend. Cathy G”

Pascal P.
“I can thoroughly recommend Pascal as a dog sitter! My GSP loves her stays there every time and is fully looked after. Pascal is very thorough with his dog sitting and always gives her long countryside walks and swims in a local river. The garden is fully fenced and very secure, giving you that rest of mind when travelling without your dog. Growing up with dogs, Pascal fully understands the different needs of dogs and how to handle a high prey-drive dog like my GSP.”

Marcin L.
“We had a wonderful experience leaving our elderly and full-of-attitude Pekingese, Pixie, in Marcin's care while we were on holiday. Marcin and his family are so friendly, caring, and genuinely loving towards pets. They have a lovely dog, Reggie, who was so good with Pixie, despite Pixie being an only dog and not usually fond of other dogs, Reggie’s gentle and patient nature made all the difference. Pixie felt comfortable and happy during her stay, which is a testament to the warm and welcoming environment Marcin provides. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy, pet-loving family to care for their furry friends. We’ll definitely be booking with Marcin again!”
