Tamsin was wonderful, Hughie was very well looked after during his overnight stay and was almost reluctant to come home! Highly recommend.

Stephen did a grand job looking after Ziggy for us while we were away for a week at a place where we weren't allowed to take him. Stephen is very conveniently located for the Channel Tunnel Shuttle crossing. He was kind and caring with our dog, followed our guidance and sent us daily photo updates. Thank you Stephen.

About: I have 20 years experience of 2 sight hounds and In the last year, I boarded 3 dogs for friends and I loved every second I have recently retired after 35 years in the NHS. I love dogs and I can provide a home from home experience for your dog whilst you are away. I can offer your dog the personalised care they need alongside lots of love and attention, sofa time and belly rubs. I will only be taking one dog at a time so your dog will have my full attention and 5 star treatment so you can feel rest assured they are in good hands, I can provide updates and photos during their stay. I offer a meet and greet service, with an initial dog walk and visit to my home so that you and your dog can get to know me. My home is a calm and loving environment with a good size garden for play and toilet breaks, I also have access to surrounding greenland

About: I’ve always had pets and recently moved out and got my own puppy, Ralph who is now an 18 month old springer spaniel. The nature of my job means I can be pretty flexible with walking and feeding times. I’ll always be at home when caring for animals. Ralph loves other dogs and is very playful but if needed I can keep separate but I think dogs who are friendly with other dogs will be best at my home! I work from home Monday to Friday, so I am always around to keep your dog company! My dog Ralph is very friendly and would love nothing more than some friends to play with I have a decent sized enclosed garden with grass which is perfect for the dogs to play etc. I also have a crate if needed, Ralph no longer uses this and enjoys free roaming but I do have it if necessary

Olivia was great with Otto and he was at ease with her straightaway. She sent regular updates with photos and videos so we could see how much he had settled in. She is a kind and considerate dog lover and we would book again for Otto. She was also very understanding when we had issues with trains and arrived latter than expected. Thank you Olivia.

Our 11 year old Hungarian Viszla stayed with Yu and her family for a long weekend recently and she had a great time. Yu sent us pictures and videos and kept us updated every day. I will definitely use her again in the future and would recommend her without reservations. SW

We felt completely at ease leaving Sketch with Olivia overnight, she is very competent, patient, gentle and kind and Sketch was fully at home there and gave Olivia lots of cuddles, a sure sign he was happy and feeling safe. I would fully recommend using Olivia, thank you so much.

Delphine was great, literally save us from a 8 hours trip to take my baby to my local cattery, as he couldn't go with us in the shuttle. She kept him until someone to pick him up and taking him to were he is staying. Lovely person and her kitty was very friendly with my old baby. Totally recommend.

Our Springer Spaniel ‘Mo’ stayed with Elodie for two weeks whilst we were away. Mo’s care has been second to none. I could not have asked for more. Mo has been in a safe friendly and loving home whilst also having long walks each day out in the local fields and streams along with play time in the cricket field with her favourite ball. Nothing was too much trouble. The daily photos have been lovely! No doubt in my mind Mo was having the best time on her own little holiday. Mo has come home so happy and content and I have Elodie and her husband to thank for this. Thank You.

About: As an experienced dog owner and sitter, I really understand what dogs need, especially those high-energy ones like my Irish Setter! What makes me stand out is my personalised approach - I always tailor the care based on your dog’s unique personality and energy levels. Whether your puppy needs a bit of structure with basic training or your older dog just needs some gentle love and care, I make sure every pup feels safe, happy, and well looked after. And since I’ve got plenty of experience with energetic dogs, I’m always up for long walks, playtime, and plenty of exercise! I love building a bond with each dog I look after, so they feel comfortable and have fun, whether they’re staying with me or we’re off on an adventure together! As a self-employed artist with flexible working hours, I have the freedom to adapt my schedule to meet your pet's needs. Whether it’s providing daytime companionship, early morning walks, or evening care, I can easily adjust my routine to ensure your dog gets the attention and exercise they need throughout the day. My flexibility allows me to give your pet the care they deserve, whenever it fits best into your schedule. When I care for pets in their own home, I make sure they get plenty of attention and stick to their usual routines to help them feel comfortable and secure. Whether it's playtime, cuddles, or simply being present, I aim to make the experience as stress-free as possible for both the pet and the owner. During walks, I focus on more than just exercise-I also provide mental stimulation. We might explore new routes, practice some tricks, or engage in interactive play to keep their minds as active as their bodies. And for high-energy dogs, I love offering energetic, long walks with plenty of play and running around, ensuring they get the activity they need to stay happy and healthy.

My chocolate lab looked as though she had an amazing time staying with Olivia and her family . Lots of fun times with other dogs, regular photos and messages sent . She was even reluctant to get into the car when going home which showed how much she enjoyed her time . Will definitely be rebooking .

From the moment I met Stephen on the meet and greet I was automatically put at ease - he is a genuine dog lover and took such great care of Daisy - he sent lots of updates and also had no problem with sorting out her medication - he was super quick to reply and I would not hesitate at all to highly recommend him to look after your dog xx

Holly from the very first introduction made me feel at ease and that my dog Rocco would be loved and cared for during his stay. Holly had no qualms in handling a scared reactive dog( other dogs only) and managed his walk times and walking area's superbly. Rocco came home without anxiety or stress and I would 100% be happy leaving Rocco with her again in the future. Extremely grateful for the care she showed our beloved dog in our absence.

Marie was absolutely brilliant with our greyhound. It was his first night away from home and we were nervous, but Marie sent us lots of updates and photos to put our minds at ease. Rocket adored her and seemed to settle in really quickly. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Marie to anyone needing boarding for their dogs and I will definitely be booking her again. Thank you so much!
