“We recently left our dog Charlie in Colin’s care for two nights, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. We were specifically looking for someone who offers one-to-one care, and Colin was absolutely perfect. From the very beginning, he was professional, friendly, and clearly passionate about looking after dogs. Knowing our dog would receive individual attention rather than being in a group setting made a huge difference to us. Colin kept us updated throughout the stay with messages and photos, which gave us real peace of mind. It was clear Charlie was not only well looked after but also happy, relaxed, and getting plenty of attention and care. When we picked Charlie up, he was calm, content, and clearly had been treated like part of the family. It’s such a relief to know we have someone we can fully trust. We’re so impressed that Charlie is already booked in for another stay during our next holiday, which says it all! We would highly recommend Colin’s dog boarding service to anyone looking for a safe, caring, one-to-one, and reliable place for their pet. We’ll definitely be booking again in the future!”

“Absolutely wonderful stay with Meghna and family, in their lovely home. Snoopy was showered with love, taken for day trips and had the best time with adorable little Tyson. We will definitely be booking in for more dog care again soon!”

“Astrid made our dog, Snoopy feel very at home - going the extra mile on his birthday with special birthday cookies and a little pressie! You treated Snoopy like he’s your own and he loved every second with you. Thank you very much!”

“Lola had a great stay with Laura & her partner, she came home a happy & snoozy pup, and we received updates and pictures from her stay. I hope she can stay again soon :) thank you!”

“Gemma and Will are absolute diamonds. I can tell that Seraph had a great time with them and we'll be definitely using their services again. It's so great to find a new sitter that we can trust ❤️”

About: I’ve been looking after dogs for friends and family for years, often for extended periods while they’re away on holiday. It’s not just quick check-ins, I regularly have dogs for full weeks at a time, so I’m very used to taking on full responsibility for their care and routine. I’ve cared for a mix of breeds, sizes, and personalities, from energetic dogs that need plenty of exercise and stimulation, to more relaxed or older dogs who prefer a slower pace and lots of comfort. What sets me apart is how naturally this fits into my lifestyle. I genuinely enjoy having dogs around, so they’re not just being “looked after”, they’re part of a calm, safe, and friendly environment where they get plenty of attention, affection, and consistency. I’m confident sticking to feeding schedules, walks, and any specific routines your dog is used to, and I understand how important it is for them to feel settled while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you know they’re happy and in good hands. I run my own business from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to prioritise pet care throughout the day. This means I can offer regular check-ins, walks, feeding, and plenty of quality time with your pet rather than just quick visits. Whether your dog needs exercise and routine, or your cat prefers a calm presence and consistency, I can easily adapt my schedule to suit them. Because I’m not tied to fixed working hours, I’m able to provide reliable, attentive care and be responsive to your pet’s needs. I care for pets in their own home where they feel most comfortable and secure. I understand how important routine and environment are, especially for cats, and I make sure to keep everything as familiar and stress-free as possible. With lifelong experience caring for animals, including breeding cats and currently caring for a 15-year-old cat, I’m confident handling a range of needs from energetic dogs to more independent or senior pets. I’m comfortable following specific routines, including feeding, walking, litter care, and administering medication if required. I always take the time to understand each pet’s personality so they feel safe and settled. I treat every home with respect and every pet as if they were my own. You’ll receive regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing they’re in experienced, trustworthy hands.
“Our Ted, has come back home after 9 days. Smelling nice and clean. Super calm and having made friends with Gary’s 3 beautiful dogs and Mia the cat. Thank you so very much Gary & Sue”

“Another great holiday for Tashi. She has the best time when with Eri and her family. We're always kept up to date with tons of photos and videos of their adventures together. Thank you for taking such great care of her ❤️”

“Shruthinaya and her partner would fantastic, taking on Cody at short notice and looking after him so well for me. He was clearly happy and settled all weekend and they provided plenty of photos and updates. I have no hesitation in recommending. Thank you guys.”

“Sharon took wonderful care of my dog, Ari. She really took the time to understand Ari’s needs and made sure he felt comfortable and happy during his stay. Her communication was good. Sharon kept me updated throughout, which gave me great peace of mind. I’m grateful for the care she provided, and I will definitely continue to use Sharon’s services in the future. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve had dogs all my life and have hands-on experience caring for a variety of breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I offer home boarding, daycare, and pop-in visits, always making sure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I have two friendly, well-socialised dogs of my own—a Springer Spaniel (Woody) and a Sprocker (Hugo)—who are used to being around other dogs. I also have two children (aged 10 and 6) who are gentle and respectful with animals. Because of this, I only accept dogs that are friendly and comfortable around both children and other dogs. Your dog will be welcomed into a loving family home with plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship. I treat every dog as if they were my own and aim to provide a calm, safe, and happy environment while you’re away, with regular updates for your peace of mind We both have flexible jobs, which means one of us is often at home and able to give your dog plenty of attention, exercise, and care throughout the day. Dogs may be left for short periods when needed, so they should be comfortable being alone for a little while. Our daily routine includes lots of walks, playtime, and plenty of fuss alongside our own dogs, so your dog will be part of a happy, active home environment. We provide a safe, loving home with a secure fenced garden for outdoor play. We have two friendly, well-socialised dogs who are used to having other dogs around and help new dogs settle in. All dogs are supervised carefully, with calm introductions to make sure everyone is comfortable. We’re happy to follow your dog’s usual routine, including feeding, exercise, and any specific needs, and can crate if required. Our home is clean, relaxed, and focused on making sure your dog feels safe, happy, and well cared for.
“Wala was very responsive when, at relatively short notice, we needed someone to look after our two cocker spaniels, Tripp and Tobi. Importantly, all the administration and scheduling was clear and precise. The dogs were afforded plenty of time to settle into their warm and very welcoming environment before I departed. They were relaxed, happy and content when I picked them up. Wala and Tony clearly have a lot of experience with dogs of all natures and it was a pleasure to make their acquaintance. Thoroughly recommended.”


“Chewie loved his stay with Katie. It was clear Katie was very confident with him, and he immediately seemed chilled and at home. Katie was great with communication before and during Chewie’s stay and we will definitely look to use her for dog-sitting again. Thank you 😊”

“Our first time leaving Gracie our retriever with Rayya. Very happy with her stay. Gracie had an ear infection which meant Rayya had to give Gracie extra care and attention which she did happily. Look forward to Gracie’s next stay, thank you!”

“Hannah has been the best dog sitter I could ask for! Totally understanding and unphased of a bigger dog, let us come and meet and greet before and sent us regular updates of how all the dogs were getting on. Hunter is a lovely dog also and Ragnar got on with him so well!! Thank you Hannah!”

“Natalia was amazing with our 11 month old Rottweiler Bruce. He instantly was welcomed into such a calm environment. We were super nervous about leaving him for the first time. But we honestly felt so at ease leaving him with Natalia - he has come back home super chilled and tired. Highly recommend! Thank you so much again!”


“I booked Chloe at short notice after another arrangement fell through, and from her first message I knew Yoji would be in safe hands as she asked all the right questions. I received regular photos and videos, and came home to a very happy, tired pup. I’d happily book with Chloe again.”

Nataly is a wonderful kind and caring person who looked after our dog Riley as though he was her own. We had numerous photo's and videos of Riley on a daily basis and we could tell from them that Riley was well looked after. We would fully recommend Nataly as a house sitter for you to care and look after your animal(s). We have found a new friend in Nataly and wish her all the best for the future. We have used dog sitters regularly and Nataly is OUTSTANDING. we would highly recommend her and will always ask her first when we need another sit

Natalia was amazing with our 11 month old Rottweiler Bruce. He instantly was welcomed into such a calm environment. We were super nervous about leaving him for the first time. But we honestly felt so at ease leaving him with Natalia - he has come back home super chilled and tired. Highly recommend! Thank you so much again!

Eri, you’re fantastic. You kept us up to date with our dog, Boomer and made sure he was well looked after, cuddled and loved. Will most definitely be using you again if we ever need him to go and stay somewhere. Thank you so much for taking very good care of him for us. Every day there was constant communication to let me know how he was, how he slept, how he behaved and what he was up to. This was my first time using someone outside of the family and I’m so appreciative of Eri, her Husband and her dog Boo, the little cutie. Honestly, thank you so so much ❤️

Laura was very friendly and communicated from start to finish really well. It was a real help being able to meet Laura before hand as we had never had a dog sitter before. Lola was made to feel welcome at their home and settled in straight away, thank you for making the process so easy Lola had a great time.

Woody and Sushi had a wonderful 10-day with Jessica and Olly - I will be using them again in the future, and highly recommend them. They were incredibly flexible to take them on when my planned sitter failed me a couple of days before my overseas trip. They were quick to respond and arrange a M&G to finalise details. The stay was as if they were heat home, felt very relaxed and loved their stay.

Katie has looked after our dog Oakley for a second time and we couldn't be more grateful to have found a wonderful sitter for him. He is looked after so well and Katie really cares for him so we feel that we can rest easy knowing he is in safe hands. I am certain Oakley absolutely loves staying with Katie and her family and doesn't want to go home at the end of his stay!

Gemma and Will have been incredible, Bruno is everything to us and we really struggled leaving him but we received updates everyday and Bruno absolutely loved his time with them, thankyou so much you really made our holiday so special knowing he was being looked after so well ❤️ xx

I had such a great experience with Julia as my dog sitter! She took wonderful care of my mini dachshund overnight and treated him as if he were her own. Julia is very detailed and attentive, which gave me so much peace of mind knowing my pup was in good hands. I also really appreciated her flexibility — being able to pick up my dog as early as 8am was a huge help for my schedule. I would definitely recommend Julia to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter, and I’ll be happy to book with her again!

Great first overnight experience for Woody with Orla. Meg and Rhys kept us updated on how he was getting on throughout his stay and he had a brilliant time. I was slightly apprehensive as he has never spent so much time with another dog and I wasn't sure how he would behave but it looks like he has a new best friend. I think it has been really good for him. Look forward to the next stay.
