“Poppy had a great time with Harris, Maria and Molly. We received photos and videos every day and could see that she was being very well looked after. Harris and Maria were able to help us when we had to change our plans at short notice and look after Poppy for a few days more than originally planned. Will definitely use these guys again.”
“Ali & Ronnie are fantastic pet sitters. Angus has had a fabulous holiday staying with their pack, lots of fantastic updates, so much activity to keep Angus happy. Home from home. We are so lucky to have found you guys! Thanks again 😊🐾”
“We were delighted that Debbie looked after Brodie so well. He was obviously very settled on our return and had certainly made himself at home! Debbie’s family were also very involved in looking after him. She was happy to send messages and photos while we were away. Should we need home boarding again we would love Debbie to take such good care of him again”
“Very impressed with the service that they provided. My dog suffers with separation anxiety and this has been the longest period of time that he has been away from home. They handled him fantastically. I was worried that he would not settle well but my concerns were swiftly quashed. Hope provided regular updates and he returned one happy dog. If anyone needs their dog cared for whilst they are away I cannot recommend them enough and would not hesitate to use them again to look after Max. Thanks again”
“Magdalena took wonderful care of both of my dogs while they were in her care. She kept me updated throughout the entire day, which gave me great peace of mind. She made sure they were fed properly, well looked after, and kept entertained. I especially appreciated the videos and photos she sent it was so reassuring to see how happy and comfortable they were. Magdalena is very polite and professional, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to look after their pets.”
“We left our collie with Lizzie for 1 overnight stay. She is lovely, easy going & responds to messages quickly. Archie was well looked after & we received lots of photos during his stay. Would highly recommend her & we will certainly be rebooking.”
“I can’t recommend Rhona highly enough! She took exceptional care of Mindy, and it was brilliant that Mindy got to spend time with another Border Collie, Lottie. Receiving so many lovely pictures while we were away was fantastic. Rhona is a wonderful, trustworthy sitter who we will definitely use again. A+”
“As always Nicola & Kayleigh looked after our anxious dog incredibly. He absolutely loves going & cries as soon as he gets to their street with excitement. He comes home knsckered (in a good way) and in a great mood. He is looking forward to his next stay & we are delighted to be able to go on holiday and know he is in excellent hands. Thank you x”

“Our cockapoo Tina 3 yrs old first time ever been away from home so happy she had an amazing stay with Arleta. Don't think she wanted to leave her when Arleta brought Tina home .You just knew how much of a bond she had with Arleta. Tina's diet was also taken care off (she's got specific meats for her meals ) regular updates & pics .Definitely booking again especially now the bond they have created after all my worries & concerns I can't thank Arleta enough she's really good a what she does. 100%”

“We honestly could not be happier with Lenka and her family. Everyday updates, photos and videos of our little one. She has came home so happy. And we were so happy knowing how well cared for she was. I could not recommend Lenka highly enough!”
“I have no hesitation whatsoever leaving our dog with Kassandra again. A very knowledgeable, capable and caring dog and cat owner who looked after Maisie over the weekend. Kassandra was very thorough and asked lots of questions and certainly put me at ease when we met initially before Maisie’s stay. Her own dog is fabulous so a testament to Kassandra.”
About: I have looked after / owned dogs for almost 20 years. We lost our beloved dog Holly in 2023 after adopting her as a young dog and we really miss time with her and walking. However, due to having two small children, owning another dog at this time is not possible. I have helped friends over the last two years and have also been contacted through them by other people to look after their dogs for holidays. I can help out Monday and Fridays during the day and weekends/holidays also. I currently have two fairly regular dogs that I look after and this is working really well for us. Please get in touch and we can see if we're able to help out with walks/holidays/overnights. I work part time (Tues/wed/thurs) so am available the other 4 days to help with walks/sitting/boarding. If I have a dog in then I am home mostly. Dog wouldn’t be left for long periods just for school drop off etc. I have a large enclosed back garden and live near a large park which is great for dogs. Also happy to take dogs in the car for trips / walks further afield. Dogs are allowed on the sofa and upstairs. Generally not on the bed during the night.
“Sarah was absolutely wonderful with my puppy! She’s one of the most caring and thoughtful sitters I’ve come across. While I was away, she kept me updated with plenty of photos and messages, which gave me real peace of mind—especially since my puppy is still so young. It was clear she truly cared and went above and beyond to make sure my dog was happy and comfortable. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Sarah again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, reliable sitter.”
“Hamish had a lovely holiday with Diane. He was well looked after and treated as part of the family. We were kept updated with photos and messages. I’m not sure if he wanted to come home with us but I’m sure he would love to go back next time we go away.”

“This is the first time we have used a drop-in service to look after our cat, Bella, and we would absolutely contact Leah again if we ever needed a cat sitter in the future. Leah was friendly, responsive and attentive whenever we messaged, and we really appreciated the updates and photos after each visit. Bella can be quite wary of people she doesn't know, so we were delighted to see that she did venture down the stairs on one occasion and allowed Leah to pet her, which speaks volumes about how safe Bella must have felt with Leah.”
“Sarah dropped in to look after my kitten for a couple of days, and I can very much recommend her :) clear and prompt communication, great report notes, amazing pictures of my cat, and I came back to a very happy kitten ☺️ would happily book again when the need arises!”
“Kimberly is great with my two cats who are still new to having a cat sitter. And patient with me as I am still getting used to leaving them too 😂 She has been great at keeping their routine as normal as possible, even letting them out in the garden for a bit. Our little Millie even fell asleep on her, which is true acceptance from her! ☺️ ”
“Jingmin was a fantastic cat sitter!!! She looked after Sherlock and Watson, our 10-year old cats. She sent photos daily, and it was such a relief to know that our cats were being taken care of! Watson, our very shy and anxious boy, even opened up and became comfortable with her. Thank you!”
“Lewis has been coming in to look after our cat Ollie while we've been away for a year and a half now. We can't speak highly enough of Lewis. He is extremely reliable and takes really good care of Ollie. We feel at ease going away knowing that Ollie is in good hands. Lewis gives us regular detailed updates and he is always prompt in replying. We would 100% recommend Lewis to anyone looking for a cat sitter.”
“I’ve used Hannah twice now as a cat sitter for my two cats and I honestly couldn’t recommend her more. She’s friendly, super reliable, and clearly loves animals. It’s such a relief knowing they’re in safe hands while I’m away. Hannah gives great updates and really takes the time to care for them properly. I’ll definitely be booking her again!”
“Tímea took great care of Chas and reported back to me after every visit. She clearly cares about the animals in her care, and I would have no hesitation in booking her again. In fact, I already have!”
“Karla is amazing, so happy to have had her caring for Ember while I was gone! I got lots of photo and video updates so I could see Ember was happy and playing with her. Karla is a really lovely person, she followed all the instructions I left and made sure Ember wasn’t stressed or anxious without me there. I would love for her to care for Ember if I needed a cat sitter again ❤️”
“Julie was so lovely to deal with and very accommodating. Came to meet us and discuss my kitty’s in more detail then booked for 4 days. Looked after my fur babies and my home really well. Kept me updated and everything was great while I worked away. Will book Julie again x”
About: I’ve owned my first cat as a toddler. I simply grew up surrounded by them. From kitten to their very last day as a family member❤️ any stray have been always welcomed before I found a permanent home for them. From docile kittens to crazy wild cats ready to be tamed and loved. All have been treated with care and patience ❤️
“Ellie was great! Quick to respond to messages on the app and very friendly and easy to talk to. I liked that she has cats herself so I was confident she’d be grand with our two. Service was carried out with no issues and I appreciated the photos she sent, so cute! 🥰 Would definitely book again!”
“Lucy is super gentle and helpful! I don't usually get a pet sitter, especially for such a short trip away, but my fur baby had an ear infection that needed a tablet and ear drops daily to cure. Lucy helped out with that and my babies liked her so much!”
About: I have over 11 years of experience caring for cats, having adopted and provided loving homes for pets at all life stages, from infants to seniors.

I treat every cat as part of my family, providing love, attention, and companionship while their owners are away.
About: I’ve known cats and had cat friends as a child; even then tried to train them. I know how to raise a kitten to be have toilet and table manners and understand commands. I absolutely love cats and lose all dignity when I see kittens or puppies.

“Hope is the loveliest person and did a great job looking after Saffron. The fact Saffron spent so much time curled up asleep on the sofa is a sign she was relaxed there. They were also really understanding when I was running late for pick up due to unforeseen circumstances. Would book again!”
“Arleta and her family were lovely. Joker had an amazing time with his new friends. He has been sleeping since I got him home and he really didnt want to leave. But genuinely lovely family. Her kids also seemed happy to spend time with joker and I cannot thank Arleta enough. Any further dog sitting, I will ask Arleta first.”
“Barry and Hilary are just so kind and caring; our Scottie girl gets the best care (and loads of love) from them and I absolutely know that she is one happy girl with them. I cannot thank them enough for the peace of mind I have when Scottie visits them💕”
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs and spent my childhood helping in my family’s boarding kennels, so caring for animals has always been second nature to me. We have a spacious, secure garden where visiting dogs can play and relax, and I’m home full‑time so there’s always someone around. Our two dogs -Ralph, our gentle 11‑year‑old Jack Russell who spends the day sleeping by the fire, and Betsy our playful 1‑year‑old Beagle - love the company. Our daughters (5 and 8) adore animals too and keep the dogs entertained with games, cuddles, and the occasional sneaky treat. We live close to beautiful woodlands and reservoirs, so daily walks are part of our routine, your dog will always have company, comfort, and plenty of fun. I can be very flexible around your needs and scheduled. I also drive so can offer pick up/drop offs, a few days notice usually required. In my home, dogs enjoy constant company, a secure garden to explore, and a calm, family‑friendly atmosphere. I keep each pet’s usual routine at the heart of their stay; feeding times, walks, play, and quiet moments so they feel settled and safe from day one. We head out on daily woodland or reservoir walks & there is always someone at home to offer reassurance, attention, and plenty of affection.
About: We have a well cared for Cockapoo of 3 years and we think he's the best! I have had dogs since I was a child and it was important that my own child also had one to love and look after. We are now at the stage of wanting to look after other cute wee fluffballs - my daughters words LOL. We have a strong routine of dog walking and doggy care and would be happy to fit another dog into it. I have all of the school holidays off, so I'm always around during the day to walk, play and care for dogs. For the rest of the year, I work part-time and my husband works from home so there is always someone in the house. We usually walk our dog first thing in the morning, then again for a 'ball throw' mid-morning, another longer walk at the nearby country park mid-afternoon and a couple of smaller evening walks round the neighbourhood. Our dog always likes an indoor play in the evenings so we make sure we get down on the floor with him and his toys. Our medium sized fenced back garden is ideal for a morning run or to relax in the sun. We have green spaces to the back and right hand side of our garden so it's peaceful and both areas can be used for shorter walks. There is a dog next door and a couple a few doors down but there has never been any issues. Our dog isn't crated, he has the free run of the living room with throws over the couches. However, we'd be happy to crate your dog if requested. We don't allow our dog in the bedrooms, but he has free reign elsewhere. We have experience of caring for my parents elderly dog, Eddie. He was a huge part of my life from a puppy and so when they weren't able to look after him we took him in full time until he was sadly gone.
“Fiona and her family were welcoming to Kip and she seemed to have had a nice time with a lovely walk and lots of cuddles. She wasn’t that bothered about coming home with me - I’d take that as a good sign! 🐶😂. Thank you for looking after Kip. 🙏🐾”
About: I grew up with dogs, so my life has always been surrounded by them! I’m very used and comfortable to walk them, bath them and give them lots of love (even if they were not mine!). I have plenty of time to play during the week, take care or walk your babies 😊. In addition, I have full availability on weekends! I can easily adapt to the dog’s needs and environment, in order to make them feel comfortable and safe. I’m fully open to respect their routine!
About: I grew up with dogs and love to care for them. I understand work sometimes get in the way or you may need some vacation time where you need someone who will offer genuine care for your beloved pet. Message me and we can discuss what you need! I work at sea, which means I have plenty of time off when I’m back home. During that time, I’d love to help care for your pet—whether that means long walks for active breeds or cozy snuggles for more laid-back companions. I'm flexible and happy to match your pet’s energy! I have a female mini dachshund who loves the company of other humans and animals. My home is fenced so your pet can walk in and out whenever they please. You are welcome to bring their favourite treats/food, especially if they have special dietary requirements.
“Lizzie was great with our rescue dog Scooby. We were nervous to leave him as he sometimes can be hard work but Lizzie handled him perfectly and even said he didn’t bark at all! Which was news to us! She kept us updated with photos and messages throughout the day. Will definitely be booking Lizzie again! :)”
“I was so nervous about putting my puppy into daycare but I needn’t have worried. Kathryn is just amazing! She has created such a safe and fun environment for Lola. The little pictures and video updates are so nice and reassuring. I know that Lola is getting the best care possible and you can tell that she absolutely loves it.”
“Strongly recommend! Our 5 month old puppy got along great with Estelle’s own dogs and felt completely at ease knowing he was well looked after! We now have a super sleepy puppy after his day of running around mad and having fun with Estelle and her kids! Rico will defo be back!”
“Felt really comfortable leaving Storm with Graeme, he was lovely and lives in a great location for walks. She seemed pretty chilled out to be there too and will be booking another daycare with him again soon 😁”

“Lyndsay looked after my Welsh Terrier, Angus, for the day and sent me update photo's of a happy dog going for a walk. Lyndsay clearly loves dogs and was happy to let him have the run of her house and garden. I won't hesitate to ask Lyndsay to look after Angus again. Thanks again!”
About: My partner Mark and I have both grown up surrounded by dogs and have always been hands on with their care, from walks and playtime to feeding and everyday routines.

We’re able to offer both weekday and weekend boarding, with a flexible, attentive approach to care. Our garden is safe and secure, and we’re happy for dogs to roam freely between our ground floor living spaces and the garden. We always take time to see where each dog feels happiest and set up a cosy, quiet spot they can retreat to and call their own.

About: I’m thrilled to offer help with your furry babies whenever you need it🫶🏻 I’m happy owner of sweet English bullterrier girl, so I understand how important it is to find safe and reliable place for your pet while you’re away. I’ve been raising cats and dogs since I was a little. All the strays found temporary or permanent homes with me. I’ve grown up in the countryside so helping with animals is my second nature. I’m currently studying so my schedule is pretty flexible. I’m available mostly between 9-12 , 12:30-2:30pm and 3:30-8pm during the week. I spend every available time with my own furry baby, so there is a lot of walks and playtime in the garden during the day.

About: I may not own a dog, but I’ve happily walked friends’ dogs, know how to feed and water them, and always give care and attention.

About: I have over 15 years of experience caring for dogs and cats, having adopted pets at various life stages, from infants to seniors. I've provided loving care for them until they passed away, which has given me a deep understanding of their needs. Currently, I have three medium-sized mixed-breed dogs, allowing me to manage multiple dogs effectively. What sets me apart is my compassionate approach and my ability to cater to each pet’s individual routine and personality. I treat every animal as part of my family, ensuring they feel safe and loved while in my care. Additionally, I am more than willing to clean up after pets, including clearing any waste, as I understand it’s essential for their health and the cleanliness of the environment. Your pets will receive the highest standard of care and attention. I am available for pet care on weekdays from 11 AM to 3 PM, as well as on Saturdays. This schedule allows me to provide consistent and loving care for your pets during those times. When caring for pets in their own homes, I prioritize their safety and comfort. I ensure the environment is secure by checking for any potential hazards and maintaining a calm atmosphere. I follow the pet owner's routines, including feeding schedules and playtime, to help minimize stress. I provide companionship, engage in play, and ensure that each pet feels loved and cared for during my visits. By visiting them in their familiar surroundings, I aim to keep their routine consistent and help them feel at ease while their owners are away.
About: Hello! I’m Madeleine, I live semi rural, lots of great walks, enclosed garden and plenty sofas to snooze on. I have 3 children who are very used to dogs, boundary aware and know how to behave around animals. However, if your guy is not keen on kids I am not for you, sadly. Your dog will have a separate room if needed/ when required. Otherwise I have a very open household and they will be treated like a member of the family. I have experience with most breeds including not limited too: brachycephalic Breeds(I owned a bulldog) , doodles, labs, Xoloitzcuintli & bullmastiff. I have completed dog first aid and own a dog first aid kit. I mention this as I know with certain breeds and the hotter summer months approaching overheating is a real concern. Im equipped and knowledgeable! Training experience : My dog was a rescue from Japan. He had no socialisation and wasn't toilet trained when we got him. After a lot of work, he is a well rounded guy who is fully toilet trained. I like to think I'm pretty versed in basic and behavioural correction training. I had a professional trainer advise with my dog, It is an area I’m really interested in, working with positive reinforcement and trust building. I can help with toilet training, socialisation, recall, desired behaviour positive reinforcement etc I can’t work with, understandably, large breeds that don't like children. If you are planning on a longer holiday, we will need to meet before. This will give both parties peace of mind. Potentially even an over night that I will do at a discounted rate. Even if it’s just one night I'm still always happy to meet up first! I will send you daily photos/ updates and happy to face time etc! I am a stay at home mum of 3 school aged children. After school drop off, my favourite thing to do is grab a coffee and go on a lovely (childfree) walk! I know tones of great walks and love finding new spots so no two walks are the same. Weekends and holidays my kids will be off school. We tend to go more child friendly places like lauriston Castle, Cammo and Cramond. I have my doggy first aid and kit! I am scripted and ready for things like: overheating (used to own a bulldog) anaphylactic reactions (I can administer injections) , kennel cough etc. We have a large fenced garden. Dog will sleep in our kitchen area/ utility if boarding. If its just a day visitor they will have the run of the downstairs.
About: Fun loving family home with our own 2 small dogs. I am a professional dog walker with numerous years of experience with all breeds of dogs. I have previously worked training guide dogs. I can help with any behavioural or training issues. I have lots of great dog walking routes within my area due to a number of country parks around my residence. I also keep horses and have done for a number of years. The horses are local also with good walking opportunities and farm like experiences at my yard. . I’m a self employed dog walker so very flexible with your boarding needs and can also accommodate weekends as well as weekdays or short notice and emergencies. I reside in a home with a fully fenced in private back garden, where the dogs are free to go and explore and relax at anytime.
About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, from puppies through to senior dogs. Growing up, I helped care for my two Staffordshire Bull Terriers, as well as my parents’ reactive Belgian Malinois, which has given me valuable experience understanding different temperaments, body language, and behaviour. I have also looked after dogs for friends and family, providing them with safe, reliable, and loving care. I understand that every dog is unique, and I always take the time to make sure they feel comfortable and happy. I currently work only three days a week, which means I have plenty of availability and flexibility for dog walks. I also have no other personal commitments so I am available all hours. I have a fully fenced in garden that is separated in two so I can separate my dog from your fur baby. It is also got a high fence to prevent jail brakes.
About: I have had pets my whole life, including dogs of varying sizes and cats, so I understand that every animal has their own personality and needs. I love spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, happy and will make sure they are well cared for while you’re away. Family, friends and neighbours have regularly relied on me to look after their pets, whether that’s feeding them, taking them on walks, playing with them, giving them lots of cuddles, or simply keeping them company. I also have experience toilet training dogs, looking after reactive and nervous animals, and caring for senior dogs and puppies so I understand the importance of understanding and consistency. I currently work from home, so I can be flexible with pet care throughout the week. I am able to work from anywhere so this is not an issue. Whilst working, I am able to snuggle your animals and take them out for regular toilet breaks and on walks on my breaks. I am also off weekends so can be fully flexible. I know how important it is to leave your pet with someone you can trust, and I’ll always care for them as if they were my own. I’ll make sure they receive plenty of love, attention and exercise, and I’m happy to keep you updated with photos and messages so you have complete peace of mind. I love to get my steps in, so happy to take your furry family members on long walks to play and tire them out, or I am happy to simply snuggle.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have always loved caring for animals. Friends and family have trusted me to help look after their pets, including feeding, walking, playing, and providing company while they’re away. I’m reliable, patient, and attentive to each dog’s individual needs. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply some extra care and attention, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and well looked after I’m currently working part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to provide reliable pet care. I offer dog walks, drop-in visits and overnight house sitting, with availability throughout the week and weekends. I’ll always keep you updated and do my best to accommodate your pet’s routine and your schedule. Your pet’s safety, comfort and happiness are my top priorities. I care for pets in their own home, where they feel most relaxed and secure, and I’ll follow your routine as closely as possible. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, medication (if needed), or simply providing company, I’ll treat your pet and home with the same care and respect as my own. I’ll also send regular photo and video updates, so you can enjoy your time away knowing they’re in safe hands.

“Poppy had a great time with Harris, Maria and Molly. We received photos and videos every day and could see that she was being very well looked after. Harris and Maria were able to help us when we had to change our plans at short notice and look after Poppy for a few days more than originally planned. Will definitely use these guys again.”

“I have no hesitation whatsoever leaving our dog with Kassandra again. A very knowledgeable, capable and caring dog and cat owner who looked after Maisie over the weekend. Kassandra was very thorough and asked lots of questions and certainly put me at ease when we met initially before Maisie’s stay. Her own dog is fabulous so a testament to Kassandra.”
About: I have looked after / owned dogs for almost 20 years. We lost our beloved dog Holly in 2023 after adopting her as a young dog and we really miss time with her and walking. However, due to having two small children, owning another dog at this time is not possible. I have helped friends over the last two years and have also been contacted through them by other people to look after their dogs for holidays. I can help out Monday and Fridays during the day and weekends/holidays also. I currently have two fairly regular dogs that I look after and this is working really well for us. Please get in touch and we can see if we're able to help out with walks/holidays/overnights. I work part time (Tues/wed/thurs) so am available the other 4 days to help with walks/sitting/boarding. If I have a dog in then I am home mostly. Dog wouldn’t be left for long periods just for school drop off etc. I have a large enclosed back garden and live near a large park which is great for dogs. Also happy to take dogs in the car for trips / walks further afield. Dogs are allowed on the sofa and upstairs. Generally not on the bed during the night.
About: I have had large breed rescue dogs my whole life, specifically German Shepards and Shepard crossbreeds. I do not currently have any dogs of my own due to work commitments so would love to spend time with other furry friends. Having studied biology at uni, I am a lover of all animals and have had previous experience at a public farm caring for farm animals and small animals such as rabbits, Guinea pigs and ferrets. I have also kept fish tanks from a young age, caring for a variety of both tropical and cold water species. Therefore, I would be happy to care for any other pets you may have. I also have had previous experience caring for a multi-pet household of 6 cats and 2 dogs. I am currently working in antibiotic research during weekdays so I am looking to get my animal fix mostly on weekends but could also do evenings from 6pm if required. Having had rescue dogs I understand the importance of patience and catering to the individual dogs needs both in the home as well as out on walks.
About: I have cared/owned all kinds of animals including a dog, cats, runner ducks, terrapins, guinea pigs, hamsters, rabbits and many fish. I have looked after many cats and dogs in the past which I have attached images of along with images of my own animals. Also I have been a dedicated vegetarian for over 15 years now and that is purely down to my love for animals. I will always look after your pets with love and affection, as well as any further attention they need. I can also adapt to their needs and if they’re not social with other animals I can accommodate that also. I am currently very flexible weekday/weekend so please reach out to check availability. I will adapt to each pet and their requirements and needs as well as your preferences. I have a large garden fully fenced and safe for dogs and cats. Both my cat and dog loves the open space especially when the suns out and can regularly see them bathing in the garden along with a small pet pool to cool them down and beds with shelter.
“Bear loved his stay with Zena. We had the chance to meet before his stay and Zena sent regular photos of Bear enjoying himself out walking/at the beach/cooling off in a paddling pool/resting on his bed in her house. Zena really gave me the confidence that Bear was in good hands so we could relax and enjoy our holidays. I would definitely use her again.”
“Summer was absolutely fantastic with Spot. He was looked after so well and loved staying with Summer. Spot was treated like a member of the family and enjoyed having doggie play mates for the 2.5 weeks. Although excited to see us, he has been moping around since he came home as he had such a good time. I would not hesitate to recommend Summer to anyone looking for an excellent dog boarder.”
“Absolutely fab service. Kathryn clearly loves dogs and Alfie had a great time. He was well looked after and having another dog there to play with was ideal for him. Already booked in for our summer hols.”
“Kerry is fabulous. My two rather barky furries stayed with her for 3 nights and I could tell as soon as I arrived to pick them up that they were so settled. My little guy loves all the toys she has out for them. They had a ball and Kerry is great with them. My girl is super anxious but she was so relaxed and happy, it put my mind at rest. Will defo be booking again if she’ll have them ha ha”
