“Highly recommended dog sitters. Laurie had our whippet over the weekend and he loved his stay. He was very relaxed and happy when we collected him. We received updates and videos on his walks.”


“Claire has just hosted our two bull terriers for two days, and it was a very happy experience for all. Our dogs were excited and happy to see her again, and Claire welcomed them warmly. Every day Claire sent me a txt to say all was well, dogs happy and relaxed and some pictures of them living like lords in her lovely secure garden in the sun. It was so reassuring of their happiness. One of our dogs is on medication and they have a cooked evening meal, neither of which was a problem at all. Although a slight dent to the ego, a delight to find our dogs fairly relaxed to see us when we picked them up. They were extremely at home and happy with Claire, which is testament to her care of them. We are very thankful for the safe, comfortable and loving home Claire has given our two, and cannot recommend her highly enough. Thank you Claire, see you soon”


“We have regularly used Rover to find suitable dog boarding for our Cockapoo and are thrilled to have found Andrew. He and his partner are genuine dog lovers and treated Bruno as one of their own, in addition their communication and photos were excellent. Without hesitation I would recommend Andrew to others who seek great care for their dogs whilst they are away.”


About: Having been around dogs since a child, and owning my first dog at 7, I have had years of experience caring for, training, and understanding dogs needs. My most recent pup is now 5 years old and called Oslo, a fluffy chocolate cockapoo you can see in my profile picture. I have been around all different breeds, from dobermans and bulldogs, to terriers, spaniels, and retrievers. I work from home which means I can be there for your dog 24/7! Living in an area with lots of open space, I love taking them on big walks, giving them lots of treats (if permitted) and lots of cuddles. Having had some issues with my current dog as a puppy, I also have exposure with behavioural issues and am happy to listen to you and structure their day accordingly. I look forward to spoiling your dogs like my own and taking them on lots of adventures! I currently work from home, having to be in the office x2 per month. I will only take bookings on the days I am at home, so I am able to give your dogs as much attention and quality time as possible, with lots of lovely walks and time for cuddles and play. I have a fenced garden, and a 5 year old cockapoo of my own to keep your dog company. Should you have any additional needs for your dog, please let me know and I am more than happy to accommodate as needed!

“Our dacshund Gertie stayed with Ann overnight and was very well looked after. She was happy, and settled well, and we were kept updated with photos to let us see how she was. Would highly recommend.”


“This was the first time I ever left my dog with anyone...to be honest I was worried he would misbehave or play up not being with me...but for the 2 days he was with katarznya he had the time off his life the interaction and photos I got while I was away he was living his best life....anyone looking to trust there dog look no further...she basically treated him like her own dog...thanks again!!!!”


“Gabrielle & Charlie have been amazing with Vinnie. He's a big bounding chunk of muscle and they have handled and looked after him so well. He had a busy weekend and fell asleep as soon as he got home! I will definitely be booking him in with them again!”


“We left our Lola with Emma and her family for the 1st time and was sent lots of photos while we were away of Lola loving life on her little holiday 🐾❤️ Emma took such great care of Lola and treated her just like her very own, Lola got in so well with Emma’s other two beautiful dogs. Thank you so much Emma and family 🐾🐾❤️❤️”


“We couldn't have wished for a better experience with boarding our dogs with Victoria and her son. We'd unfortunately had another booking (on another website) cancel last minute and with less than a week before travelling we were panicking about finding a sitter. Luckily, Victoria made the process so easy and after the Meet and Greet we felt so relaxed about leaving our boys with her while we travelled to Europe for a few days. We got some lovely updates while we were away and some videos of our boys walking off lead in the beautiful countryside. When our eurostar back home got incredibly delayed Victoria was also super accommodating in looking after them for another night. Thank you again, we will likely be in touch if we need them boarded in the future”


“Daisy had a great weekend with Tom. We were a little apprehensive as she's so timid but she settled right in so we knew she was well looked after. Tom kept in touch with updates and photos which was great. We're definitely happy to use Tom again.”


“Was sent several pictures on a regular basis. My fur baby looked so happy and clearly had an amazing time. After his initial excitement of seeing us after our holiday, he actually sulked as he clearly missed the new friends he’d made. Will be using Karina again to ensure he has contact with the other dogs and the family. Delighted!”

“Ella has proven to be a natural when caring for pets since a very very young age. Having been surrounded by family /friends dogs of various breeds and different personalities all her life, Ella has shown such a passion and commitment, especially when it comes to training dogs who have shown behavioural problems. Ella’s patience and love for the animals shines through whilst working hard to ensure, with a loving environment and lots of positive reinforcement the dogs she has worked with have gained the confidence and skills to become loving family pets. Dogs seem to be naturally drawn to Ella’s warm and loving nature, she is nicknamed the “dog whisperer” amongst our family and friends!
