“Wellie visited Wendy for a repeat visit for two nights, and had a full, enriching time. Constantly given updates and reassurance while we went away - the ideal piece of mind we needed.”


“Kelly was amazing with Sophie! She made sure Sophie was happy and comfortable the whole time. I could tell Sophie was well-loved and in great hands and really treated Sophie like her own. Highly recommend Kelly — we’ll definitely be booking again!”


“Sarah was absolutely amazing with my dog Nala. I can't fault anything, she made me feel at ease and made Nala feel at ease and comfortable which is everything you want when leaving you're pet with someone. I was updated throughout the day and sent photos and videos. I would come back to Sarah for all my next house stays. I couldn't recommend her more. Thankyou again . Hollie.🙂”


“Alana was fantastic with our little boy Geno. He has a bit of anxiety and she was extremely kind and patient with him. She sent us several updates and it was obvious she really cared and wanted Geno to be happy and comfortable. We will definitely book with Alana again!”


“Best dogsitter ever! From the moment I met Alice it was clear that she loved dogs and knew how to look after them properly! I would not hesitate to leave Gandalf with her and her family again. I had regular updates and she was not phased by some of the behavioural issues I mentioned before his stay. I returned to a very happy and chilled dog!”


“We needed someone who could take 2 big dogs (and all the luggage that goes with them!!) Sarah and her family were absolutely marvellous and more than stepped up. Diesel fitted straight in; Nala we knew would take more convincing and try and push her luck, but Sarah soon cottoned on it didn't take long before Nala settled too. Have already booked them in for more holidays as now we have found the right family to take care of Diesel and Nala, we can enjoy our holidays worry free.”


“Cara communicated very quickly. I also found her to be very professional. Her home is well kept and the garden secure. I feel like my two dogs were well looked after and got a great amount of exercise. I would make another booking in the future. Thank you Cara! Highly recommend!”


“Fletcher had a great weekend staying with Lauren! She took him out on plenty of walks, made sure he was nice and cosy and had great communication. She was flexible around timings and very understanding of Fletcher's quirks.”


“I had to go away at short notice and Joanne said she would have Loki I never leave him overnight so was a first for me. When we arrived instantly felt safe and he was happy to stay. Clean good space for the dogs especially in the heat ! On picking him up he looked happy playing with the other dogs would use again 100% and recommend.”


“Stephen is just fab and goes that extra mile to ensure his clients and their pets are well looked after. On our recent booking, as well as boarding our dog, he also visited our house twice daily to look after our two cats and guinea pig, which ensured everything was stress free. He really goes above and beyond to ensure client feel reassured and happy. My dog is always happy and excited to see Stephen and has a lovely time expressing natural behaviours out in the forest with the other doggies. Stephen is trustworthy, reliable flexible with regard to animal care and pick up/drop off arrangements, and I’d recommend him highly to anyone needing a helping hand with their pets.”

About: I absolutely love dogs and I miss having my own. I have had my own dogs from a young age, up until a few years ago. I have experience in senior care with one of my dogs living up to the age of 17. I regularly look after my friend’s dogs overnight and I absolutely love taking them on walks in my free time. I work full time during the week and therefore I am only able to look after dogs at the weekends term - time. During the school holidays I can possibly do during the week. I will show your dogs so much love. I am often out in the garden and will let your dogs out frequently so they can have access to the garden at all times if they wish. My garden is fully secure for your dog to relax and run around in. My home is cosy, full of blankets and cushions for them to cuddle into. I am more than happy for your dogs to be up on the sofa and in my bed.

About: I’ve cared for my own dog for over ten years till we sadly lost him and since then I’ve been dog and cat sitting for friends and family , I love to get out walking and would love to take yours with me for some fresh air and exercise I currently work full time but have very flexible hours I’m free most evenings and weeks but can normally make time in the day for a walk or to dog sit while you’re away I mostly like to get out and get walking but I can have pets in the office with my which I often find to be the best company while I’m working hard
