4. Becca B.

“Was a bit worried as our puppy is very chaotic and our border collie struggles with roads but honestly I shouldn't have worried at all!! They were absolutely fantastic from responding to any messages within minutes all the way through to handing the dogs back. Our puppy is extremely nervous of new people and was soo excited to see her when she came back out the door to hand their stuff back. If anyone is worried about giving there dogs away for a night or few please know they will be in the best care possible!! 10 out 10 very grateful would 100% bring them back!!”

“Joseph, Ellie and family are wonderful and they took absolutely amazing care of Hazel. Ellie was quick on all the updates with photos and videos of Hazel! It was real peace of mind to keep Hazel in such a good care. We would without hesitation keep her with them in the future”


6. Nichola B.

“I had the pleasure of having Nichola look after my little Teddy for one night this past Friday, and I couldn't be more impressed with the level of care and attention he received. From start to finish, Nichola demonstrated a genuine love for animals and a commitment to ensuring Teddy's comfort and wellbeing. Nichola's communication was fabulous, providing regular updates and even sending adorable photos of Teddy enjoying his time under her care. This not only reassured me but also allowed me to relax and enjoy my time away, knowing Teddy was in capable hands. What stood out the most was Nichola's understanding Teddy's 'specific' needs (bed time water and snuggles!). She took the time to learn about his routine, dietary requirements, and favorite activities. It was evident that she went above and beyond to make Teddy feel at home. I highly recommend Nichola's dog sitting services to anyone seeking a responsible and caring pet sitter. Teddy had such a positive experience that I wouldn't hesitate to entrust Nichola with his care again in the future. Thank you, Nichola, for providing Teddy with a home away from home!”


7. Adam S.

“Harry and Loki loved staying with Adam. Good communication throughout their stay, including some lovely pictures. Good reliable sitter, who clearly loves the dogs in his care.”


8. Leah B.

“Leah was so lovely with our dog, Crumble! Kept us updated on his stay; kept up with his routine; made sure people were respectful when they approached him! Leah has a nice, calm energy which is perfect for Crumble. We have already booked her again for our upcoming holiday and wedding. Thank you!”

About: I love and care for every animal, your animal is safe in my care no matter personality, appearance, behaviour! Plenty of space to learn :) Looking for work from home! So therefore alot of free time and space for any animal that needs care and company from me! :) . I have a fenced back garden with no access to other animals or strangers, plenty of space inside for any necessities and care needed :)


10. Katie E.
“Katie is a really friendly, caring and enthusiastic person who has a great love and connection with animals. My mini dachshund absolutely adores her and trusts her completely. He can be an anxious pup, but Katie always immediately puts him at ease and is so calm and patient with him. Katie has both walked, and boarded my dog whilst we've been away and always keeps me updated with messages and photos/videos of him regularly and I know he's in safe hands with her.”

About: My grandparents have looked after dogs and I was introduced to it from a young age. I have been able to pet sit many dogs over the years from big and small. I’m taking a gap year and currently I’m free every single day meaning I have alot of time to spend with your guys beloved pets! The garden is fenced, I have no young children at home. Pets are allowed anywhere in the house. There’s no other big animals here if your animal is particularly scared of that.


12. Dalton S.

“Very happy with the way Ollie was taken care of and he seemed very happy and contented when he got home. Very easy to arrange everything with Dalton and will definitely be using him again”

About: I’ve never known a time where animals weren’t in my life. I have had many beloved pets growing up including Guinea pigs, cats, hamsters, stick insects, fish and dogs. I have a family dog named Minnie who is a 10 year old miniature schnauzer, I have since moved out of my family home so she resides with my parents. I adore animals of all kinds and having bought my first house recently, I would love to have a pet of my own soon. I have experience dog sitting for my parents’ pooch many times whilst they are away. I also look after a friend’s excitable German Shepherd cross whenever they’re on holiday. I’m a reliable and trustworthy individual that enjoys going for walks. I live close to some large local parks, so would thoroughly enjoy having your furry companion join me! I also have a driving license and have my own car. Having recently started a work from home job, my hours and availability are very flexible. This also means I can look after pets for longer stays as I shall be at home more often than not. I have recently bought my first property in a quiet cul-de-sac, which has a lovely sized garden for both people and dogs to enjoy. I live with my partner and we are both non-smokers, with no children or other animals in the household. When looking after animals in someone else’s home I am obviously more than happy to do whatever works for you and your pets needs and safety.
