“First class, first time Phoebe was left overnight with someone not in her own house. I was updated often with images and how she was doing. I was anxious at first but I soon realised she was happy and showered with attention, just as I had hoped for. Phoebe has come home and slept all day. That’s a great sign!! Looking forward to many more visits x”
“Dexter had an excellent first visit with ching and her dogs.I was sent photos of his visit and he was made so welcome, he dashed straight in.When I picked him up he had run off his excess energy and slept all the way home and was a calm and relaxed boy for the rest of the night. Thank you ching .see you soon x”
“Our wee boy went to stay with Kirsty for a night while we attended a wedding. She offered a meet and greet before hand which went really well and we knew he would be well looked after. She sent us regular pictures and he was clearly having a fantastic time with his new friends! He chewed through his lead and she replaced it which was very kind but absolutely not needed! He had another one with him and he is a chewy pup so we would have happily replaced it. We will definitely use Kirsty again.”
“I cant recommend Maddie enough! We were a bit anxious to leave Storm for a week while we were on holiday as this is the first time we have done this. Maddie completely put our minds at ease with regular updates and photos. Maddie is absolutely amazing with dogs she took storm on walks, let her play out in her enclosed garden, spoiled her with a bone and gave her a brush and some doggy perfume for when we picked her up. Storm was so content with maddie enjoying some belly rubs when we collected her, she almost didnt want to come home. We will definitely book in with Maddie again and cant recommend her enough. Would give six starts if I could.”
“Emma & Sandy looked after Willow for 2 nights whilst we were visiting the area for a wedding. We couldn’t have asked for better care, Willow was treated like their own dog, it was like home from home. We received regular updates and photos and it was obvious Willow was very happy. We would definitely recommend.”
“Our lab had a great time with Jennifer! He's still quite young and this was the longest we'd been away without him, so we loved seeing the photo updates of what he'd been up to. This reassured us he was in great hands. Given the choice I think he'd have stayed longer!”
“Honestly can’t commend Harry highly enough. He looked after our Bailey for 1 week while we were on holiday and Bailey had the best time and was so well looked after. We got photos and updates every day and it felt like Bailey was on holiday too. First time we’ve ever used boarding and I wouldn’t hesitate to use Harry again. If you are boarding for the first time, just book Harry, you’ll have no regrets! Thanks again Harry! :)”
“Bethany provided a lovely home for Dexter. He settled quickly and enjoyed his short stay. Bethany took him out for regular walks and kept me updated with how Dexter was and sent plenty of photos. I would definitely use her again in the future.”
“Carla and Craig are lovely genuine and down to earth people. I'm so glad I found them when I did. I was able to enjoy my holiday whilst they had Callie for the best part of 2 weeks. Easy to chat to and reassuring throughout. Photos were sent regularly. Callie was so happy and kept occupied during her stay and she loved big Arlo too. Will definitely be buying their services again. Can not recommend enough. Grateful to have found them on this app.”
“My dog was so well looked after kwok and his family they were so nice and the children were so gentle and kind my dog came back home nice and calm . I would definitely use kwok again they kept me informed with plenty photographs”
“Julie and family looked after Bruce so well - I got regular updates and they really understood my worries about leaving him. He had the best time and Slough happy to see me the next, he certainly thought twice about coming home - a great sign of a happy dog. Thank you Julie - Bruce will definitely being getting his next holiday booked 😉”
About: Work until 2:30pm locally, available outwith these hours. ❤️ Have grown up surrounded by animals, hamsters, rabbits, cats & dogs. Recently welcomed a springer spaniel to our household who we have been working hard to train. Please note any dog that comes to stay with us must be dog friendly due to already having a dog in the house. Love the outdoors and wandering round the parks/beaches and woodland areas that Inverclyde has to offer. Dote on animals and enjoy spending time in their company.

“Maddy provided an excellent service, she was extremely helpful arranging pickup and drop off of our dog Hamish and my sister's dog allowing us all to enjoy a full day at a family wedding. I would highly recommend Maddy to anyone looking for someone to care for their dog.”

About: I have been a dedicated pet owner my entire life, which he sadly recently passed away, and have a deep love and understanding of animals. My personal experience includes caring for my own beloved dog for 15 years, during which I was responsible for all aspects of his well-being, including daily walks, feeding schedules, medication administration, and regular veterinary visits. This long-term commitment has provided me with practical, hands-on experience in managing a dog's routine and adapting care as they age. I am comfortable with dogs, for I had a Staffie and can provide compassionate, reliable, and attentive care tailored to your pet’s specific needs with lovely walks surrounded my place. Your pet will be well looked after and loved. I am a stay at home person and do things from home apart from on a Thursday I am out 10am-2pm, and on a Friday night I work 6pm-10pm. I am in a smoke free home, one level flat, ground floor with a large back garden that is fenced and many lovely nature walks surrounding me. It's a warm cosy home, and plenty room for cuddles.
About: Growing up on a farm started my lifelong love of animals! I’ve had dogs in the house since I can remember, and all sorts of animals ranging from cows to peacocks in the garden. As an adult, I’ve house-sat, and dog walked for the last 15 years, and I now live with my partner, daughter and dog in Helensburgh before hopefully returning to the countryside one day. My partner and I are available to dog walk, house-sit and (if your furry friend gets on with our own dog and animal loving 3 year old) board your pet in our home. We have a beautiful garden for playing in, and know some great walks both locally and further afield, to give your pup the very best experience while you’re away. I’m looking forward to meeting you and your lovely pets! Please get in touch if you have any questions or think my partner and I might be able to help! X My partner and I are self employed, so we are able to be flexible with your pet’s needs! Please get in touch if you have any specific questions or scheduling needs. We have a fenced garden, a friendly dog, and an animal loving 3 year old to give your pet all the love and attention they could possibly need. If they need a slightly slower pace, my partner or I can also look after your pet in your own home and their own space.
“Absolutely incredible, Harlee loves staying over and beth herself is such a kind person! this is the second time harlee has stayed with beth and she is definitely in trust worthy hands, definitely won’t be the last time our dog will see her:)”
“We were up from Bedfordshire for a funeral and didn't want to leave our dog behind. Rebecca met us the day before where we introduced Willow to her and Ossie. She is a lovely person and left us in no doubt that Willow would be well cared for. We had to extend the visit with her and she accommodated this without any extra charge. We don't like being apart from our Willow but should we have to book doggy day care again, it will be with Rebecca. Thanks very much!”
“It was so lovely to know LIndy was being well looked after by Vicki on Easter Day which enabled me to see my family as she is not comfortable in the close up company of my small grandchildren or my son's large and lively young dog. She is a quirky little dog and Vicki gave her 5 star attention to keep her calm!”
About: I’ve had both cats and dogs my entire life. I have my 9 year old male husky and my brother has two cocker spaniels & my dad has a collie and two kittens. I help look after regularly when they are away or working. I am always home and available, the back door will be open for them to come and go and they will receive a minimum of one two mile walk a day with the option of being off lead in the woods. I have a fenced back garden (6 ft) and a very friendly dog at home who will help keep your doggos company at all times.
About: I’ve always been a big dog person and have spent lots of time looking after my friends’ Cocker Spaniels, Ralph and Rue. I’d have them stay with me for days or sometimes weeks, so I’m very used to the walks, feeding, keeping them entertained and generally having a dog follow me around everywhere! I absolutely loved having them around and still miss them, so I’d be very happy to get my dog fix by looking after some new four-legged friends. I work from home most of the time, except from a Wednesday when I go into the office. I live alone and my job involves a lot of writing so would welcome the company from a cute doggo I have a nice garden space for dogs to enjoy, and I love getting out for little walks and adventures, so there’ll be plenty of fresh air and things to sniff! your pup will have my full attention and won’t have to worry about children or a busy household. I’m happy to work around their usual routine, whether that’s lots of walks and playtime or plenty of sofa time and cuddles.
About: I have experience with high energy dogs with my 5 year old border collie, and my friends and family have dogs of various breeds. I have grown up around dogs of all ages, my aunt bred border collies and trained them for shows, and I enjoyed getting involved with their training. Currently on maternity leave and my partner is studying mostly from home, so always someone around for company. We love to get outdoors to walk our 5 year old border collie with our 6 month old daughter (always supervised with dogs and is very respectful), usually over the Kilpatrick Hills or Balloch Country Park. We have a large fenced garden and a 5 year old border collie for your pets to make friends with! We’re always up for a snuggle, dogs welcome on furniture but can hold boundaries if that is preferred. We have multiple crates and can separate dogs in different rooms if required.
About: I have had my own dogs in the past. Have experience with both small and large dogs. Also have experience raw feeding. I work from home so your pet would have me around all the time while in my care I work full time 9-5 but work from home with regular breaks to let pets out regularly if needed. Weekends are normally rather chilled. I have a very large enclosed back garden. Also have two doors (one always closed all times) so no risk of your pet escaping. I have no pets so your pet will have my full attention when in my care. I do have 12 year old child so all pets must be Oka with children

About: I have taken care of a wide range of breeds from pomeranians (my own) to collies, to vislas, to crossbreeds. My home has a gated garden therefore freedom to roam outside securely! I own my own dog Winston and he gets three walks a day. One in the morning, one in the afternoon and one in the evening. I work from home some days during the week and these days I have the back door open for the dog to roam in and out the house as he pleases. I have eyes on him at all times as my dining table is located at the back door which is beneficial. I have one friendly dog who will keep your dog company and a fenced garden. My neighbours are an elderly couple who give my dog one treat every day through the fence and they love it when I take my other neighbours dogs for the day, the more the merrier. My area has lots of nice woodland walks near by and I have a car to travel to spots in the area - dogs will ALWAYS be kept safely on the lead. Open to altering my day to fit around the specific needs of your dog.
“Thank you for looking after bumble Fiona, we appreciated the photos and message. We have no doubt that she was well looked after and was obviously content in you home. We will be sure you use you again (if you'll have her lol) and wouldn't hesitate in recommending you to others”
“Arlo’s first time staying with Megan and he loved it Megan is really lovely Communication was great and so accommodating in extending Arlo’s stay. Hopefully be back soon ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
