“It was a pleasure to have Eva looking after Lola. Nothing was a trouble to her, she looked after her like she was her own and sent us photos every day. Lola was obviously very happy during her stay and there were no problems whatsoever ! I would certainly use Eva again and highly recommend her.”

“My boy Charlie spent 2 days with Alana while I was away with work. We had a meet and greet beforehand to make sure the dogs got on well together. Then I dropped Charlie off for his stay and I was pleased to receive updates letting me know how he was getting on and photos to show he was enjoying himself! Alana was friendly and easy to communicate with. I’d definitely recommend!”

“Nicola was so welcoming! She arranged to meet us before we confirmed if we were comfortable booking with her, where she allowed us into her home with our a dog so we could see the space for ourselves. She was so kind and caring for our dog who was only staying away from us for the 2nd time. She sent constant photos of him being happy during his stay and even went out of her way to take him to the river. We couldn't recommend her enough and she will always be an option for us going forward if we are ever in need of a sitter again. Thank you Nicola for making our Arnie feel at home”

“Yana has been amazing. My Alfie is on raw food and he has a few allergies so hes not the easiest to look after. Yana sent an update everyday so I knew Alfie was okay, I appreciate that she didnt send too many updates so I wasnt keeping an eye on my phone all day. As soon as Alfie came home he fell asleep so he was nicely worn out. We will definetly be booking Alfie in with Yana again.”

If we are in their neck of the woods again and in need then I will definitely be in contact again. Thank you so much for taking care of my baby, 🐶”

About: Owned dogs from chihuahua, spaniels to a fox‑red lab, my fav, still miss him, not ready to replace. Any dog here gets proper care, company, and calm attention. I’m home all day, so they’re never left alone, always walked, and always looked after. I regularly walk and care for friends’ dogs too, so I’m used to different breeds and personalities. Hoping to build a few regulars and enjoy seeing familiar faces again. Reach out and contact me. I work from home full‑time, with my office in a bright sunroom that opens directly into a secure garden. Dogs can relax on the couch or in their own bed beside my desk — I adjust to each owner’s preferences. The patio door stays open into the fenced garden, giving them safe freedom and fresh air. They get constant attention, company, and reassurance throughout the day, never left alone. For new dogs, I stick to leaded walks in familiar, safe locations until we build a regular routine. Play is based on each dog’s age and ability — fetch for the energetic ones, or gentler games like hide‑and‑seek with treats for older joints. With solid fencing, gates, and a secure layout, your dog stays protected, calm, and cared for every moment they’re with me.

About: We’ve always had dogs and they’ve been a huge part of our lives. Having recently lost our beloved dogs, we’re not quite ready to have one of our own again, but we really miss the companionship, fun and love they bring. We’re looking forward to welcoming dogs into our home and giving them plenty of love, attention and fuss while their owners are away. We both work, but would love the company of a four-legged friend when we’re not at work, whether that’s enjoying a relaxing evening at home, heading out for a walk or simply having a dog by our side. We live in a lovely area with large, open fields right on our doorstep, just beyond the back garden, making it a great place for dogs to enjoy walks and explore. Our home is smoke-free, and having had dogs for many years, we understand how important it is to provide a safe, caring and comfortable environment where your dog feels at home. We know how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone else, and we’ll treat every dog as if they were our own. We can’t wait to meet some new furry friends! 🐶❤ I work part-time and my husband works full-time, so we have plenty of time outside of work to give your dog the love, attention and companionship they need. We would always plan our days around your dog’s needs and make sure they aren’t left alone in the house for any extended periods while in our care. We live with large, open fields right on our doorstep, making it easy to enjoy regular walks and outdoor time. Having always had dogs, we understand the importance of a consistent routine, plenty of affection and making sure every dog feels safe, happy and at home. We’d love to welcome dogs into our home and enjoy their company when we’re not working. 🐾 We aim to make every dog feel comfortable, safe and at home, whether they’re staying with us or we’re caring for them in their own home. Having always had dogs, we understand that every dog has their own personality, routine and needs, and we take the time to get to know them. In our home, we provide plenty of love, attention and companionship, along with regular walks and playtime. We have large, open fields right outside our back garden, giving us a great space to enjoy outdoor time. We’ll follow your dog’s usual feeding, walking and sleeping routines as closely as possible to help them settle in. We also understand how important it is to keep owners updated, so we’re happy to share photos and messages to give you peace of mind while you’re away. Our home is smoke-free, and we’ll always prioritise your dog’s safety, happiness and wellbeing. 🐾

“This was our first time using a dog sitter, and I was a little nervous, but Brianna was fantastic. She took great care of our dog Betsy, kept me updated with messages and photos, and made the whole experience stress-free. My dog was happy and well looked after. I would definitely recommend her and would happily book with her again. Thank you!”

About: I have grown up with a household full all animals ranging from insects, rodents, cats and dogs. I have looked after and walked dogs since I was 15, and have owned dogs for the last 13 years. I have always had a passion for animals and hold an honors degree in animal behaviour. I have always rescued dogs (greyhounds) and take on the older ones with behavioural or health challenges. I have a lot of experience with older dogs and dogs that come with additional care requirements. I have completed dog first aid, cared for dogs with severe injuries and health issues ranging from dog attacks to advanced cancers, organ failure and spinal issues. I am very experienced in administering medications for unwell animals and a dab hand with vet-wrap for those clumsier pups (side effect of owning sighthounds). I work full time, however I will be taking your dogs into work with me where it is a dog friendly environment. They will receive 24hr care. There are fields and woodlands nearby for walks. I will tailor my care for you pets. I have a good size house with a fully fenced garden. The fence is 6ft so they will be secure. Your pets will be able to roam free, however I do have a crate for any animals that prefer to sleep in them or younger ones that might need time outs to continue crate training.

“This is the first time I've used boarding for my dog and from the first message, to meeting to the stay I felt reassured. Bill and his wife looked after Rocket as if he were one if their own. Plus the daily updates/photos and videos were reassuring. I would definitely use Bill again :)”

James was amazing with our little Holly i was very anxious about leaving her as ive never done before but James and his partner put my mind at rest with plenty of photos and updates on how Holly was doing. Holly was very well cared for and I am so happy with the care she received and as a nervous owner I can 100% say I will be using James from now on should we need to leave Holly and i would recomend him to anyone looking for a doggy sitter
