“Rebecca has just looked after my beloved Ben, a golden retriever, whilst I have been away this week. I can’t recommend her highly enough - she is so knowledgeable about dogs, their behaviour and their health, and her communication was amazing . She looked after Ben just like she would her own gorgeous dog. She is the best! Highly recommended!”
“I fully recommend this lovely family to look after your dog. I was so confident that Roxy was in the safest of hands and I think she had a better holiday than I did. It's a good sign that on our return from over 2 weeks away, after saying a warm hello to myself and my wife, she ran back in the house and I honestly think she wouldn't have minded if we turned around and went away again 😂. Look no further if you want a the best loving and professional care of your pet.”
“Becky took great care of our pup George and was great at communicating, sending us regular updates and pictures to keep our minds at ease. George came home happy and tired which I think is a good sign he had lots of fun! Becky was also kind enough to accept our booking late the night before we wanted to drop George off after another Dogsitter let us down, we were so grateful! I would definitely use Becky again!”
About: I’ve always loved animals and take pride in providing patient, reliable care. I’m comfortable feeding pets, refreshing water, going for walks, playing with them, cleaning up after them, and giving them plenty of attention and affection. I understand that every pet has a different personality and routine, so I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully. Whether it’s daily visits, overnight care, or regular walks, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m currently working part time in a nursery , so I have lots of availability in the evenings & weekends. We love going out on walks into fields and surrounding areas. I have a secure, fully fenced garden where pets can safely play and relax. I always make sure pets are supervised, have fresh water, and follow their usual routine. I’ll provide plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection to help them feel comfortable and at home. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always respect the owner’s instructions.
“Sharon responded very promptly and we organised a meet and great the next day. Hugo was very much at home as soon as he arrived, and during his week long stay we could see that he was very happy and was getting plenty of good walks, as per the very regular photos that Sharon sent ! When I picked him up, you could see that a lovely bond had developed with Sharon and her family, so he had clearly been loved and cared for very well. We will definitely be booking with Sharon again! Thankyou so much Sharon and family.”
“Anna and Izzi have been absolutely wonderful with Rosie. They took such kind and attentive care of her, and it’s clear how much they genuinely enjoy having her around. I loved seeing how they took her to different places and gave her little adventures, it really means a lot. They never left her alone and kept me reassured throughout, which made a huge difference. I felt completely at ease and was able to relax while travelling, knowing Rosie was in such safe and caring hands. I would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone, and I’d be very happy for Rosie to stay with them again.”
“Fitz had another great stay with Alysha. He’s always well looked after, and the whole family make him feel part of the family. He enjoyed some lovely walks and got plenty of attention during his stay. He came home happy and relaxed, and I’d be happy to recommend Alysha to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.”
“Laura helped us out last minute with a weekend of dog sitting for Moss after other plans fell through. The whole process was really efficient and we got frequent updates. Moss seemed to have a great time! Would recommend.”
“Really pleased with Sally taking care of Ringo while we were away. She is such nice person that I didn’t get anxious even once while he was staying with her. Sally will be always my first choice when I need someone to be looking after my dog. Highly recommended”
“My dog, Holly, had another lovely stay with Anna and I was very happy to leave her in Anna’s care. Anna kept me updated and Holly thoroughly enjoyed all the cuddles and care that Anna gave her. Thanks again Anna 🐾”
“Jo has just looked after our 2 little dogs for 3 nights at short notice.She kept us updated regularly with photos and our little ones absolutely loved her! We shall certainly be using Jo again.Thankyou Jo🤗”
“Great care of our dog from Marius & his family. Kept us up to date with photo's and videos every day & was considerate of some of her previous health needs & struggles with the heat when walking. Will definitely be looking to use Marius again when the need arises”
“Erin is an excellent dog boarder. She looked after our dog, Baxter, recently and he was very well cared for. We received many updates from Erin on how he was and she sent lots of pictures of his lovely country walks. Baxter is already booked in with Erin for his next holiday very soon! I can highly recommend Erin's services.”
“Eleanor could not have done more to ensure a fantastic stay for Lisa, even collecting and dropping off to help me out. Lisa had a fantastic time with Custard, Peter (and the cat) and came back full of health and bounce. I could not rate Eleanor and family more highly.”

About: Apart from my diploma in Animal Care and Management, I have a deep routed love for all kinds of Feline friends.

Previously when I was younger and wanted to earn pocket money I would help her take care of the 9 cats she had at the time. Those were the best summers. I also dedicated 1 day a week previously to work on a cattery and learned professional skills in that environment.

About: We are a husband and wife team with a shared love for dogs. As a family of four there is always someone going for a walk and on hand to play and care for your pet, as if it were our own. Living directly opposite the park makes this our “go to” regular walk, although we are always adding new venues and activities with lots to smell and places to run and exercise. At home we have a securely enclosed garden with several mature trees and lots of bushes providing a never-ending supply of squirrels to chase. There are deliberately no flower beds or no-go areas to ruin the fun. Our current pet is the fourth dog we have owned and totals just under 50 years of experience with loving and caring for them. We understand what a beloved member of the family your pet is and why it is essential to find the right care service for them. Fully licensed and insured. Licence Number 114088/25 Now retired we are keen to keep healthy and in the best company - so dog walking and care is a daily joy for my wife Emma and I. Having owned terriers (cairn and westie) and larger dogs (labs and collies) we have puppy to senior experience and understand how different each dog can be. We are set to accommodate your dog and incorporate into our family - ready to return to you with a wagging tail.
“Liz was amazing with our dog. She was really communicative leading up to the time I dropped Nelly off for the day and sent photos and messages throughout the day to let us know how Nelly was getting on. I really felt that Liz understood Nelly and took care of her well. Will definitely ask Liz again, next time we are in the area.”
“Lisa has been fantastic with our dog, Luna. She takes her on walks in really lovely locations, which Luna clearly enjoys, and always makes sure she’s well looked after.

“Leaving a young puppy with someone else is never easy, but I have complete confidence in Laura. Milou absolutely adores her and is always so excited to see her, which says everything. He comes home happy, relaxed and clearly well looked after. It's such a comfort knowing he is in a safe, caring environment where he gets plenty of attention and enjoys playing with her dogs and family.”
“Suki was amazing with our 2.5yr old Golden Retriever. He’s going through a stage of humping out of excitement and she dealt with it (and him) really calmly and consistently and kept me up to date throughout the day with photos. He seemed super happy when I picked him up and her home is so calming and lovely - we’ll definitely use her again!”
“Anna, Izzie and their 2 children were amazing with our little girl Honey. They took her on a lovely woodland walk, played with her and gave her lots of cuddles. They have a lovely and secured garden, alongside beautiful walks nearby. They sent some adorable photos throughout the day so I could see what she was getting up to and the adventures she went on. Honey came back so happy and slept peacefully all evening. I would recommend them to anyone and we look forward to using their services again! Thank you 🐾”

About: I treat every pet like my own and take the time to understand their unique routines and personalities. I’m patient, reliable, and experienced with both playful puppies and senior pets who need extra care, gentle handling, and medication support. Your pet’s comfort and happiness are always my top priority. Pet care is a priority in my daily and weekly routine. I build my schedule around each pet’s needs, whether that means early-morning walks, mid-day check-ins, or evening medication. I’m flexible and dependable, ensuring pets stick to their normal routine while owners are away. When caring for pets in their owner’s home, I follow their routine as closely as possible to keep things familiar and stress-free. I handle feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, litter tray or garden cleanup, and any medications. I treat the home with care, keep everything clean and tidy, and provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind.
“We could not recommend Kerry more highly. Ou border collie, Stan, is 13 years old and quite fond of his routine. We have been reluctant to leave him in the care of people he does not know. However, Kerry immediately understood what he needed and we felt 100% confident to leave him, knowing she would be arriving to walk him while we had to be away for a big chunk of the day. She very kindly told us not to worry in the event of us hitting traffic and our return home being delayed, because she would be very to pop back later in the afternoon and let him out if necessary. That was so kind of her and really gave us peace of mind. When we got back we found Stan completely relaxed - he'd clearly had a lovely walk with Kerry and not been at all stressed by the experience of being with someone new. Kerry is a real dog lover and a lovely person who instinctively knows what is needed. We will certainly be calling on her the next time we have to leave Stan.”

I have two lovely cats of my own, but this means unfortunately I cannot have your pets over for a sleepover. But I love visiting pets in their own space and keeping them company. Having a stranger in your home can be daunting so I’m always respectful of any rules you have in place!
About: I have had dogs and horses all me life, and have now made my love for them my life's work. I have worked with many different breeds of dog and with all different ages. I stick to any training routines if there are any and make sure your dog is happy and content day and night. He or she will be like one of the family with me. Caring for animals is my day job. Your dog will not be left alone for more then 4 hours. I do have other commitments such as other dogs to walk and I also work with horses, so i will need to pop out from time to time but i will make sure your dog is content before i leave. I do group dog walks so the dogs will have plenty of playtime and socialisation. However I can also do single dog walks if required. Home visits are also possible for one on one attention in their home comforts. I have a small but secure garden. There are plenty of lovely country walks around me. I have two very friendly intact male dogs who love to play with others. However if your dog is not that way inclined they will not pester.
About: Myself, my partner, and our two children absolutely love dogs! We have a miniature dachshund called Ruby. She is 8 years old and she loves other dogs too! We would love to have some other dogs come and stay with us and Ruby would love the company too! We are both DBS checked as I am a midwife and my partner is a police officer. I work part time and myself and my partner work opposite shifts so there is someone at home 24/7 so your dog would never be left alone. We have a large fenced garden and a large house with lots of space to run around. We have a lovely little dog Ruby who is very friendly and would keep your dog company. We are surrounded by countryside and lots of fantastic dog walks!
“Danielle has been amazing!! Felt so glad to know my dog Pano was in good hands with her, with regular updates and photos. He really loved her and will definitely be using her again in the future, I highly recommend..Thank you so much! 🤍”
About: I have an had my dog since he was a puppy, i’ve been training him since he was a puppy now he’s 5. I have experience with anxious dogs as my dog was attacked :( I am currently studying with the Open University which allows me to work from anywhere that i will have access to wi-fi. This allows me to spend time with your pets. I will follow your instructions closely and make sure your pet gets the best care while you aren’t there. I love animals and want to make sure they get the best care!

“Rebecca has just looked after my beloved Ben, a golden retriever, whilst I have been away this week. I can’t recommend her highly enough - she is so knowledgeable about dogs, their behaviour and their health, and her communication was amazing . She looked after Ben just like she would her own gorgeous dog. She is the best! Highly recommended!”
“I fully recommend this lovely family to look after your dog. I was so confident that Roxy was in the safest of hands and I think she had a better holiday than I did. It's a good sign that on our return from over 2 weeks away, after saying a warm hello to myself and my wife, she ran back in the house and I honestly think she wouldn't have minded if we turned around and went away again 😂. Look no further if you want a the best loving and professional care of your pet.”
About: I’ve always loved animals and take pride in providing patient, reliable care. I’m comfortable feeding pets, refreshing water, going for walks, playing with them, cleaning up after them, and giving them plenty of attention and affection. I understand that every pet has a different personality and routine, so I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully. Whether it’s daily visits, overnight care, or regular walks, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m currently working part time in a nursery , so I have lots of availability in the evenings & weekends. We love going out on walks into fields and surrounding areas. I have a secure, fully fenced garden where pets can safely play and relax. I always make sure pets are supervised, have fresh water, and follow their usual routine. I’ll provide plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection to help them feel comfortable and at home. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always respect the owner’s instructions.
“Sharon responded very promptly and we organised a meet and great the next day. Hugo was very much at home as soon as he arrived, and during his week long stay we could see that he was very happy and was getting plenty of good walks, as per the very regular photos that Sharon sent ! When I picked him up, you could see that a lovely bond had developed with Sharon and her family, so he had clearly been loved and cared for very well. We will definitely be booking with Sharon again! Thankyou so much Sharon and family.”
“Anna and Izzi have been absolutely wonderful with Rosie. They took such kind and attentive care of her, and it’s clear how much they genuinely enjoy having her around. I loved seeing how they took her to different places and gave her little adventures, it really means a lot. They never left her alone and kept me reassured throughout, which made a huge difference. I felt completely at ease and was able to relax while travelling, knowing Rosie was in such safe and caring hands. I would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone, and I’d be very happy for Rosie to stay with them again.”
“Laura helped us out last minute with a weekend of dog sitting for Moss after other plans fell through. The whole process was really efficient and we got frequent updates. Moss seemed to have a great time! Would recommend.”
“Eleanor could not have done more to ensure a fantastic stay for Lisa, even collecting and dropping off to help me out. Lisa had a fantastic time with Custard, Peter (and the cat) and came back full of health and bounce. I could not rate Eleanor and family more highly.”
About: As a dog owner myself, and with lots of experience looking after family/friend's pets, I understand the importance of giving your pets plenty of attention, love, exercise & play 🦮🦴 I'm reliable, patient, and genuinely love spending time with animals ❤️ I'll make sure your furry friend has lots of play & cuddles 🐶☺️🐾 Caring for pets fits naturally into my daily routine as I already care for my own dog. I can provide regular walks & lots of attention throughout the day 🦮🦴 Your pet's safety & wellbeing are my top priorities. I understand that every pet has different needs & routines. I provide a calm, caring environment & will treat your pet as if they were my own, with plenty of affection & supervision 🐾
“Laura was absolutely fantastic looking after our two dogs, Ollie (our 5 year old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel) and Poppy (our loving, very energetic 21 month old Labrador). From the moment we met her, it was clear how caring, reliable, and genuinely passionate she is about dogs. She kept me updated with messages, photos and videos , which gave me complete peace of mind while we were away. Ollie and Poppy were happy, relaxed, and clearly very well cared for. We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter and would highly recommend Laura to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and loving to care for their pets. Her husband and girls were equally lovely and very welcoming.”
“Highly recommended! My two boys are a boisterous pair (Lab and Cockerpoo) who need space, attention and lots of activity which is exactly what they received with James and his family. They can be an overwhelming combination so a calm atmosphere with plenty of cuddles is a home from home for them. James sent lots of photos so that we could relax and enjoy our weekend on hols and our dogs bonded with Bailey straight away. Carson the Lab even got a good brush - he sheds like you wouldn't believe - and both boys came home happy and relaxed. Our Cockerpoo is a Covid pup and my little shadow whilst I work at home so he in particular needs lots of doggo-time. We will definitely be booking with James again!”
“This was Daisy’s first stay away home, but Millie was keen to ensure Daisy’s routine was kept to, regularly updating me on how Daisy was doing. I’m sure Daisy will be very happy to stay again, which is hugely reassuring.”
About: We’re a loving family with a 2 year old boy who has grown up around dogs and absolutely adores them. We sadly lost our black Labrador earlier this year, and while we miss him dearly, we now have the time, space and love to welcome other dogs into our home. We have both been brought up in dog-loving households and have always had dogs as part of our lives, from small breeds to large dogs. We understand that every dog has their own personality, routine and needs. Our little one is very used to being around dogs, and we’re happy to provide a calm, caring and family-friendly environment where your dog can enjoy plenty of attention, companionship and fuss. Meg & Mitch We are available all week- I work from home so will always be on hand with time to care and walk for them! Little one attends nursery during the week We have a secure fenced garden. Dogs are welcome on sofas for all the cuddles! We can care for your dogs exactly how you wish/ would in your own home!
“Aakanksha has been great looking after Hugo, she kept me updated and sent regular pictures about what he’s doing and how he is and settled in very well. It’s been great experience both for Hugo and myself. I’d definitely recommend Aakanksha and will book her to look after Hugo again!”
“Fiona and her lovely family took such good care of Ludo - he loves spending time with them and I know he will be treated as part of the family when he’s there. Thank you! X”
