“Ernie had a lovely time with Gabriella. She kept me up to date while I was away and sent me pics and videos. She took him out on lovely walks and was very caring of him. Thanks so much! Ernie can be nervous around other dogs, she was very considerate of this too which put my mind at ease. Would 100% recommend. Thank you!”

Brett sent updates and short videos of our dog during the stay which put us at ease, he had taken him on a trip to the city which seemed to go well. The booking process was straightforward also.

“Frances looked after Murphy so well and sent lots of updates. Even though there was an issue with his bed being torn by another dog, she thoughtfully ordered him a new bed to replace it! Will definitely use Frances’ services again as it’s clear she loves animals and cares deeply for them. Murphy didn’t want to leave!”

“Cayman was absolutely fab. We met with her previous to our dogs stay to see her gorgeous setting. Our dog was able to run around in her huge garden/land (all secure) and had play mates there which she loved! She was so well looked after and cayman was so warm, welcoming and I felt totally comfortable leaving our young dog for the first time whilst we went away. Thanks so much.”

“Our dog Buddy has been staying with Ruth for a number of years now. She is reliable, kind & takes care of each dog as if they are her own in their own homes. We would be lost without her for when we need either day care or overnight stays.”

“We had never used Rover before so was a bit apprehensive, but on searching we found Hannah and had a met and greet before dropping our beloved dog off whilst we went on holiday. Hannah is a really caring person kept us updated with how things were going and sending us photos. Most of all our dog was happy and loved it was home from home. We really couldn’t of asked for a better person to look after our boy, and cannot recommend Hannah enough she is amazing and your pups will definitely be well looked after can’t wait to see you again soon xx”

“Elizabeth took amazing care of our Otto (18 months, Alusky). She kept us updated daily with photos and stories from his adventures, and it was clear he felt right at home. Otto had such a joyful time with Elizabeth and Fergus, we couldn’t have asked for better care.”

“I left a domino for the first time he had been left outside of family this weekend and it was a really positive experience for both of us. Domino had a great time and was even a bit reluctant to leave his new friends. I would not hesitate to use Martin again or recommend him to others.he obviously adores dogs and has good knowledge in how to care for them.”
