“Vikki and Mark are absolutely amazing with our girls. We had a delay with our flight home and Vikki was so understanding and accommodating. They both treat our girls like their own, we get lots of photos and updates, I’m sure the girls are disappointed to leave when we pick them up. Would 100% recommend”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs all my life and we now have an almost 2 year old Labrador called Wilbur. We are based on the Dorset and Hampshire border, with a large garden which backs in to woodland and a lovely lake. We are also not too far away from gorgeous beaches too. Our family consists of myself and my husband and our two young teenage boys - we love dogs, and make time to play with them each day - offering enrichment activities, fun games, paddling in our little doggy pool (when it’s warm) and also essential, comfy down time. I work from home and very part time so I am around every day. I take my dog out for walks early morning and evening, but I’m flexible and able to fit around your pets routine. I have a fenced, closed in garden and one very friendly young golden Labrador. I have the space to crate if needed and lots of cozy spaces in the house.
“Stephanie did a great job of looking after Sonny at quite short notice, provided a reassuring update at the end of the first day and demonstrating much appreciated flexibility when our delayed return flight threatened our ability to collect him on time. We will be back!”
“Mollie has just come back from another stay with Caroline and we can’t thank her enough. Mollie settled right from the start and nothing was too much trouble . She went above and beyond for us when we were delayed in picking her up and she treats our dog as if she is her own, Mollie has come back very relaxed and I can wholeheartedly recommend.”
“Ellie gave us real confidence that our dog was in safe hands. The way she manages her own dog is exactly how we would expect. Her dog was very friendly and seemed at ease having a guest dog in the house.. She listened to my pet parent fears and was prepared for everything. 100% recommend!”
“We are so chuffed to have found Rachel, she is very lovely and caring and our dog Harper has clearly had the best time! Rachel has a lovely home and garden where Harper made herself at home straight away, and we know that she will love to go back time and time again.”
“Ron recently looked after our two little chihuahuas, one of which is very nervous with new people, within a couple of hours I received photos of her sitting on Ron’s lap for snuggles which was quite a surprise. The girls came home happy and well looked after ☺️ We have booked them in again with Ron already, thank you so much for taking good care of them 🐕”
“Amazing! Really looked after my 9 month old puppy! Antoinette sent me regular updates and photos of how Marley was doing. Marley looked really happy and comfortable which is all I wanted and the care she received was fantastic. Highly recommend! Will book with Antoinette again for sure. 😊”
“Pauline was amazing with my boy, Dudley. Not knowing her, Dudley was more than happy to stay and when I picked him up he was excited to see me then carried on doing his thing comfortably. I will absolutely be using Pauline again”
“Baxter stayed with Ruth and her family again after a very successful first stay. He was treated with the utmost care and kindness and he made himself very much at home! We had daily messages and photos to keep our children (and our) minds at ease and it was very clear to see how much he enjoyed his stay! We will most certainly book with Ruth again and would recommend to everyone as a perfect home from home environment!”
“Theo had a wonderful time staying with Aga. He settled straight in, loved the garden and playing fetch! Then enjoyed cuddles on the sofa 🐶 Aga is super friendly, quick to respond and kept me updated throughout with photos. Theo can’t wait to stay again.”
“Very happy thay I booked my dog Lolly in wit Tashmeet :) The host is very kind and friendly. My dog was instantly comfortable with her and I could tell that she was very happy. Thank you Tashmeet :)”
“We couldn’t have found a better holiday home for Bonnie than with Rene and Robert. We knew instantly that she would be treated as part of the family and when we picked her up we could see how comfortable she’d made herself. Thank you so much and for all the walks by the sea…her favourite place to be. And thank you for all the updates and pictures.”
“Our dog Sully had a great time again! Sarah was caring, reliable, and kept us updated with photos and messages. Sully came home happy and well cared for. We’ll definitely book again!”
“Camila was excellent with my 10 month old cocker spaniel girl Nala - she sent regular updates and videos which really put my mind at ease. Nala came home happy and I can't recommend Camila enough!”
“Niels was absolutely fantastic with my young dog. He accepted to look after my Cocoa at a very short notice. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. I will certainly be using his services again.”
“Daisy and Lily had a wonderful first sleepover with Natasha and Ben. It’s so comforting that my girls are happy to stay with them, and that Natasha and Ben enjoy having them 🥰”
“Qi and her husband were absolutely fantastic with my boy Archie. Qi was quick to contact me when he appeared to have a limp and was reluctant to go down the stairs but after letting her know that Archie was in fact putting on the limp for attention, she was put at ease. I left Archie with Qi on bonfire night and she was brilliant in comforting him with the loud noises. We had a few laughs about Archie's antics for attention and Qi sent some lovely pictures of Archie with herself and her husband. When I collected Archie, it was clear that he had been very happy with Qi and her husband and they expressed how much they had loved having him to stay. I will definitely ask Qi and her husband to have Archie again and they have asked to look after him again. Thankyou Qi I am so greatful to you and your husband.”
“We left our dog Sky with David and Suzy for a week in August and cannot recommend them highly enough. We received regular updates to let us know how she was getting on and Sky had a fantastic time. Will definitely book with you guys again and Sky misses her new friend Phoenix. Thanks for everything”

Pro-active communication, lots of photos (which we love) & an obvious connection with the two dogs which she clearly loves (and they love her). We couldn’t recommend Kate more.”
“The most lovely holiday mum to my little Bart! I came home to a very happy and looked after little chat! Christine went above and beyond, and truly looked after him like he was her own! Thank you so much for your help, and I will definitely be rebooking when I go on my next trip!”
“Hollie was brilliant. Very generous, easy to talk to and really good with my pets. As she has a background in animals, she was able to give me tips regarding my tortoise which was helpful. Monty the cat is normally the shy type but felt comfortable around Hollie instantly. I’m more than happy to book her again and again in the future.”

About: As part of my house sitting, I've looked after many cats of different breeds and ages, I'm not really one to just pick up your cat, I tend to let them come to me. I'm unusually warm to the touch (so I'm told by humans) and the cats love it, once they settle on my lap, they tend to stay there. One sit in the summer of 2026 even had a cat called Lily with it's own Insta account.

She send photos, great with updates, and even found a way to connect with my very antisocial cat! Definitely recommend, she followed all the requests and she showed she cared. Thank you Lauran xx”

I can also lick and unlock cat flaps if you need your cat inside overnight.

“I’m really pleased with the care Anya provided while I was away. She looked after my cats and chickens wonderfully and gave me great peace of mind. She went above and beyond — even removing ticks from my cat — and I came home to a clean and tidy house, which was a lovely bonus. I’d happily recommend Anya to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter, and I would definitely use her again.”
“Hilary was an amazing cat sitter and put all of my worries at ease from the very first meeting! My cat, Lucas loved her and she sent fantastic updates throughout the time I was away. I would be more than happy to use her again and would recommend to others!”

Whether your cat is playful, independent or a little shy, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable and well cared for while you’re away. I’m happy to provide feeding, fresh water, litter tray cleaning, playtime, medication if required and, of course, plenty of affection on their terms. I’ll also send regular photo updates so you can relax knowing your cat is happy and in safe hands.

Thank you so much!”
About: Hi there, I am Lisa. My wife and I work from home and we would love to have your lovely dog come stay with us! We currently have a gorgeous 2y old black miniature poodle boy (neutered) who is very friendly and easy-going. I also had another dog previously from puppy to 15 y old, so I am an experienced owner and comfortable with all sizes, breeds and personalities! We know how important it is to find someone local you can trust - we hope we can be those people for you and will care for your pet as if they are our own, with plenty of walks, playtime, cuddles and regular photo updates. Happy to meet before and see how we get on! With our dog we do a big walk in the morning and late-afternoon/evening at one of our dogs many favourite spots - the park, forest or seaside. Our poodle loves the water so a swim is definitely on the cards for a hot day! Then they can cuddle up while we both work at home usually. We break the day up with games in the garden, like fetch, tug or find-it, and are always available for cuddles. We're happy to adapt to your dogs energy and requirements. We have a decent sized bungalow with a big garden and secure fence. Your dog can make themselves comfortable wherever they fancy and we will always keep an eye on them while they are settling in.
“Sally was really welcoming towards Hector and a pleasure to meet. You can tell she has a natural flair towards dogs- her own dog, Lois, is lovely and is clearly well cared for. Hectors made a new best friend in Lois and can’t wait to be back! I was updated throughout the day and had no trouble at all.”
“Nanook has been going to Ruben's weekly for I cannot recall how long. She loves it. It's a home from home and she always has a lovely day with Oggy and Ruben. I can work knowing she's loved and safe and the pupdates throughout the day help settle my mind. She looks forward to every Wednesday and practically drags us to their door. Thank you so much xxx”
“Jean was absolutely lovely. She introduced Daisy to her 2 dogs gently which was really kind and thoughtful. As soon as she saw Daisy we knew she would be very happy there whilst we were at the beach. Will definitely be using Jean again this holiday and in the future!”
“Jenny took on my dog for day care and was very supportive to ensure Toffee relaxes quickly (Toffee is a nervous dog). She asked a lot of questions in advance and we were really well prepared for the actual care. She has a great and calm approach to the dog. There are also really nice green spaces nearby where they were able to wander. Toffee didnt want to come back! We will book more, thank you”
“Gwen's first day-care visit has been a great success! She was a little anxious for about half an hour at the start (she's only every been cared for by us and friends before) but she soon settled. It was so good to receive an update and photos at lunchtime which showed Gwen having a great day. At collection time, it was a joy to find Gwen running around with Coca, playing with toys and feeling very relaxed. We feel very lucky to have found such a lovely family to look after her!”

“Karen was great with Piper. Piper had an injured paw and had it bandaged up which meant she had to be more quiet and still than normal. Karen understood and kept Pipet company while also making sure she didn’t get too excited.”
“Emily has looked after our golden retriever puppy a few times and she has been great. Always on time, providing photo updates, and our puppy seems to love the time spent with her. He's always excited to see her and comes home calm”

“Sylva was great from start to finish, easy to communicate with and organise, we did a meet and greet, Whiskey went to stay for the day and Sylva took her out on four walks, Sylva was very caring and looked after her beautifully, Whiskey came home and was worn out. I would highly recommend her to look after your dog.”

About: Hi😄My name is Leena and I’ve been pet sitting for the last 6 years. I’m very confident around all sizes and breeds of dogs that have all different temperaments. Whether you have an energetic, playful, anxious or quiet dog I can meet their needs to be a safe space for them. I can do long energetic fun walks in the forest with your young dog, or short slow sniffing walks for your senior dog! I have been looking after the family dogs for years when everyone goes away. I can follow all instructions and routines to your rules of your home, where the dog is allowed, what times they eat and when they go out. I have a cat myself who is a quiet but loving rescue so i understand every cat is different and has their own character. I adore all cats and kittens. I will feed, water, cuddle, play and let them out. Whether you have a cat flap letting them out for specific times or letting them out through the door just for a little while I can help! I can do regular basis weekly dog walking and come and collect your dog or take it locally. I can also do one-off when needed walking, dog/puppy sitting, dog drop in feeds and cuddles or overnight stay looking after them in your home while you’re on holiday. I have so much care, patience and kindness towards all animals. Having my own cat, I know how important it is to know your pet is in safe hands, and how part of the family they are! I’m always like to do a meet and greet with yourself and your pet so you are able to have confidence in who you leave your pet with and it enables you to show me their routine! I have a full driving licence so i’m able to commute easily and be flexible with availability and times. I’d love to look after your cat, dog or any other animal in the family and help in anyway! I look forward to hearing about your wonderful pets🦮😸🤩🐕😻🥳 I am currently saving for traveling so this is my full time job working with cats & dogs so i’m very flexible to look after your pets whenever you need and on a regular basis!🤩 I can care for your pet in your home. Whether you have a special routine or system when walking or caring for them I can follow this. If you crate your dog, wash or dry them down after a walk, have special rooms they are allowed to I am more than happy to go with this.
“Life saver. We contacted Keighley en route to France as family members work arrangements changed and we found ourselves with a huge problem. Fortunately Keighley was able to step in and provide cover to walk and feed the dogs. Without her I think we would have had to cut short our holiday. Absolute life saver, professional and reliable. I cannot thank you enough.”
About: I believe in providing customised care that makes every pet feel safe, happy, and loved in a home environment. My approach is defined by my special skills and dedication to peace of mind for pet parents: Customised Care: I make an effort to understand a pet's unique personality and energy level to create a personalised routine that goes beyond a standard walk or feeding. Tidy Home Guarantee: I will always clean up after every visit, ensuring your home is left just as I found it. Specialised Skills: I am experienced with puppy training on basic commands and comfortable with the specific needs of senior pets, including oral medication administration and managing slower paces. Reliable Communication: I provide regular, detailed updates with photos and videos to give you complete peace of mind while you're away. I'm currently taking a break from my full-time job, which is great because it means I have a completely open and flexible schedule. Pet care is my main focus right now, so I can be available whenever you need me. This allows me to completely tailor my day around your pet, ensuring they get all my attention and their routine stays the same while you're away. I do not offer pet care in my own home. All of my services are provided in the pet owner's home, which I believe is the best environment for any animal. My priority is to ensure your pet remains comfortable and stress-free in their own familiar surroundings, with their routine completely uninterrupted. I take my responsibility to look after your home just as seriously as I do your pet. Having sat for dogs and cats all over the Dorset and Hampshire region, you can trust that I am a reliable and respectful presence in your personal space.
“Our dog Oaty had a wonderful time walking with Nicola. We received great communication before, during and after the walks, including lots of lovely photos. Oaty was taken out for longer than we’d booked (we were asked first) which she really loved and gave us peace of mind while we were away. Overall really fantastic and would absolutely recommend”
About: I have a wealth of experience in the animal industry. I studied Animal Management (level 3 diploma) and am currently studying Veterinary Physiotherapy at university. I have also worked at a local boarding kennels and volunteered at a gundog training centre. I am a student so have free time to pet sit whilst completing university work. I have a few days off a week and only have lectures until 4 at the latest. I have a fenced in garden complete with grass and concrete area, I am able to provide long walks in the local area. I would ensure all animals were happy and entertained as well as ensuring correct walk and toilet timings.
About: I have been a teacher for 20 years and I have recently taken the decision to go part time to follow my dream of being a dog walker and care provider. I have had dogs my whole life. My favourite breed is dalmatian (I've owned 2!) but currently I have a happy sprocker spaniel. I am lucky to live near to both the coast and the forest and my favourite activity to spend my time doing is walking my dog - now I think it's time to add to the pack! I have a van which has been adapted to safely carry up to 6 dogs. For many years I have regularly cared for my friends' dogs, welcoming them into my home and my family. I am confident with all types of dogs, young and old, large and small. I pride myself on being able to provide both the love and care I would hope for my own dog if she needed to be away from home. During the school holidays I am available full time. In term time the only days I cannot offer are Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday as I will be teaching in school then. Your dog will be warmly welcomed into my home. I am happy to crate them if that is what they are used to but typically dogs have the run of the house. I have a fully enclosed back garden for them to play in but mostly they will be able to just relax at home in between lovely walks either in the forest or on the beach.
About: Full time professional dog sitter; I’ve always had a dog in my life and love dogs! Couldn’t imagine not having them in my life. Love walking dogs, and have a river walk and park on my doorstep. We do not even need to get in the car although we like to venture to the beach often. I have a national trust membership, and take dogs to some amazing places locally. I work as a dog sitter and have the flexibility so am always able to take the dogs out for a nice long walk everyday. Weekends and weekdays work well as we have a dog so another would add to the fun. I am available for them to be dropped off early morning if needed also and am very flexible and accommodating. I have a dog friendly home and they can wonder freely inside the house and access water bowls at all time. I’m Always with them. My garden is fenced as well. I live in a quiet culdesac in a beautiful area. This is a true dog hotel for your fur baby. Spoilt dogs welcome! I try to only take on one dog at a time, although if more than one comes from a family I will accommodate this. I do this to ensure your dog is provided with a high standard of attention and care. Sometimes there maybe a crossover but I try hard to avoid this happening. Walks in the morning and lunchtime, and a last one in the evening if they have energy left. Weekends we will always go for walks and make the most of the area around us which is beautiful I have a walled garden and I ensure I know where the dogs are at all times. I would never leave them unsupervised as this is when mischief arises! Dogs are free to roam the whole home!
About: Hi everyone! I’m Anya and I absolutely love animals. I have experience as a Military Working Dog handler which means I’ve worked with lots of different breeds, temperaments and needs. I’m also about to start a part-time role as an Animal Care Assistant with the RSPCA which will give me even more hands on experience. I adore spending time with animals whether it’s walks, playtime or cuddles and I always make sure every pet feels safe, happy and loved. I treat them like my own and love getting to know all their little quirks and personalities. Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine because I love staying active and spending time outdoors. Walks and playtime slot in easily around my schedule and I always make sure to plan my day so pets get the attention, exercise and companionship they need. Whether it’s a quick drop-in, a long walk or an overnight stay, I’m flexible and happy to build my routine around keeping pets happy and cared for. I make pets feel safe and comfortable by following their usual routines and paying close attention to their needs. In a pet owner’s home, I respect their space and keep everything clean and secure. I provide a calm, pet friendly environment with plenty of enrichment and supervision. My priority is always their safety, wellbeing and making sure owners feel reassured while they’re away.
About: I have over 30 years of experience owning and caring for dogs of all sizes and breeds, including Border Collies, Jack Russell Terriers, Bedlington Terriers, Labradors, and Cocker Spaniels. Throughout the years, I have developed a deep understanding of the unique personalities, traits, and needs of different dogs, adapting my care to help each one thrive. I have supported dogs through every stage of life, from puppyhood to adulthood and into their senior years, providing nurturing care, training, guidance, and companionship. I am passionate about building strong bonds with animals and helping them become happy, well-rounded, and confident companions. In addition to dogs, I have also owned and cared for several cats, which has further strengthened my knowledge and love of animal care. I am extremely passionate about animals and pride myself on providing a professional, reliable, and compassionate service. I dedicate my full attention, energy, and experience to every dog and cat I care for, treating them as if they were my own. Families can trust that their beloved pets will receive the highest level of care, attention, and affection while in my hands. I am self-employed and work flexible hours, which allows me to tailor my schedule around the needs of the pets in my care. This flexibility means I am available for daytime visits, evening care, weekends, holidays, and overnight stays. I can provide reliable and consistent care, ensuring dogs receive the attention, exercise, companionship, and routine they need while their owners are away. I am happy to care for pets in their own home through house sitting, helping them remain comfortable in familiar surroundings while giving owners peace of mind that both their pets and property are safe and secure. Alternatively, I can provide a warm, welcoming home environment with a secure garden, ideally located near the coast and the New Forest for enjoyable walks and outdoor adventures. As there are no other animals in my home, your pet will receive my full attention in a calm and stress-free setting.
About: I have looked after dogs and cats around the world for many different companies and families. From pit bulls to Shit-Zou’s I have a wealth of knowledge in caring for animals of all ages and temperaments. Currently working from home so I’d happy to help walk, sit or check in anytime. I can go for walks on my lunch break (very flexible), before, and after work. We have a fenced off garden so happy to let dogs use the bathroom out there in between walks. Please provide food, bedding and leads/collars for their stay.
“Hilary was fantastic. Bingo had a great time and Hilary kept me updated at all times with lots of lovely pictures. She was also very quick to respond to any communications. Thank you!”
About: I’ve been around dogs for as long as I can remember. Growing up on a farm we always had dogs, and later I lived with flatmates’ dogs in London. More recently, our family beagle lived with my mum in the New Forest, so caring for dogs has always been a big part of my life. Although I don’t currently have a dog of my own, I genuinely miss having one around and would love the opportunity to care for yours. Whether it’s a walk, a drop-in visit or overnight care, I’ll make sure your dog feels safe, happy and well looked after. I’m reliable, patient and active, and I understand that every dog has their own personality and routine. I’ll always treat your pet as if they were my own and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your dog! I work from home most weekdays, giving me the flexibility to provide dog walking, drop-in visits and house sitting. One day a week I travel into London, but this varies, so please get in touch and I’ll always do my best to accommodate your needs. I’m also available most weekends and will do my best to be as flexible as possible. My approach to caring for pets in either my home or a pet owner's home is tailored to the specific service I offer. In my home, I provide a safe and secure space for them to rest and enjoy their stay. When caring for pets in a pet owner's home, I adapt to their routines and preferences, ensuring your pets receive consistent care, affection, and necessary attention. Open communication is key to allow me to address any specific needs and maintain a seamless experience with you and your pet/s.
About: We have had animals in our past homes for 20 years me and my husband been together 22 years and also handled puppies whilst one of mine was in labour so I had a lot of experience with dogs of all different breeds.Before Dog boarding I used to look after friends and family’s dogs whilst they were away and took the leap to join officially through rover. I have a papillon now called Harvey and he likes to play has lots of fun to play with other dogs big or small , dogs seem to love coming to mine has its going from home to home without the upset or pining for there owners while they are away , they have way too much fun with toys and walks around the woods that’s backed onto me. Start the day by letting the dogs out, feeding them, and having breakfast. After that, take them for a good morning walk so they can get some exercise and explore. Once you're home, spend some time playing with them, whether it's fetch, tug, training, or games in the garden. While they rest, you can do your household jobs, relax, or enjoy a hobby. Later in the day, have lunch and enjoy some quiet time together. In the afternoon, give the dogs another play session or some enrichment, such as puzzle toys or scent games, followed by a shorter walk. In the evening, feed the dogs, have your dinner, and spend time relaxing together before taking them out for one final toilet break before bed. This keeps them active, happy, and settled throughout the day. I have quite a big garden. Patio and artificial grass which is fenced off. Very Secure Garden lots of room to play around there and squeaky toys and balls and beds to sunbathe 😜

“Reggie had a lovely overnight stay with Allison and Toffee. She sent me some photos of their dog walk in the park and a whats app message to let me know how he was doing. Excellent care and thank you for looking after him! Will definitely be booking again.”
“Vikki and Mark are absolutely amazing with our girls. We had a delay with our flight home and Vikki was so understanding and accommodating. They both treat our girls like their own, we get lots of photos and updates, I’m sure the girls are disappointed to leave when we pick them up. Would 100% recommend”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs all my life and we now have an almost 2 year old Labrador called Wilbur. We are based on the Dorset and Hampshire border, with a large garden which backs in to woodland and a lovely lake. We are also not too far away from gorgeous beaches too. Our family consists of myself and my husband and our two young teenage boys - we love dogs, and make time to play with them each day - offering enrichment activities, fun games, paddling in our little doggy pool (when it’s warm) and also essential, comfy down time. I work from home and very part time so I am around every day. I take my dog out for walks early morning and evening, but I’m flexible and able to fit around your pets routine. I have a fenced, closed in garden and one very friendly young golden Labrador. I have the space to crate if needed and lots of cozy spaces in the house.
“Mollie has just come back from another stay with Caroline and we can’t thank her enough. Mollie settled right from the start and nothing was too much trouble . She went above and beyond for us when we were delayed in picking her up and she treats our dog as if she is her own, Mollie has come back very relaxed and I can wholeheartedly recommend.”
“Ellie gave us real confidence that our dog was in safe hands. The way she manages her own dog is exactly how we would expect. Her dog was very friendly and seemed at ease having a guest dog in the house.. She listened to my pet parent fears and was prepared for everything. 100% recommend!”
“We are so chuffed to have found Rachel, she is very lovely and caring and our dog Harper has clearly had the best time! Rachel has a lovely home and garden where Harper made herself at home straight away, and we know that she will love to go back time and time again.”
“Camila was excellent with my 10 month old cocker spaniel girl Nala - she sent regular updates and videos which really put my mind at ease. Nala came home happy and I can't recommend Camila enough!”
“Niels was absolutely fantastic with my young dog. He accepted to look after my Cocoa at a very short notice. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. I will certainly be using his services again.”
“Qi and her husband were absolutely fantastic with my boy Archie. Qi was quick to contact me when he appeared to have a limp and was reluctant to go down the stairs but after letting her know that Archie was in fact putting on the limp for attention, she was put at ease. I left Archie with Qi on bonfire night and she was brilliant in comforting him with the loud noises. We had a few laughs about Archie's antics for attention and Qi sent some lovely pictures of Archie with herself and her husband. When I collected Archie, it was clear that he had been very happy with Qi and her husband and they expressed how much they had loved having him to stay. I will definitely ask Qi and her husband to have Archie again and they have asked to look after him again. Thankyou Qi I am so greatful to you and your husband.”
“We left our dog Sky with David and Suzy for a week in August and cannot recommend them highly enough. We received regular updates to let us know how she was getting on and Sky had a fantastic time. Will definitely book with you guys again and Sky misses her new friend Phoenix. Thanks for everything”
“This was my second time sending my dog Captain to Angela and her family and they did an amazing job again. He was well and truly looked after and he seemed to remember and settle with the family really easily again. I got lots of updates and photos during the week and could tell how much love and care my Captain was getting. I can't thank Angela enough and absolutely recommend her for other dog owners. I'll absolutely be booking with her again!”
“We feel so lucky to have found Eleanor and Raymond. Our dog Bear had a short stay with them and they took exceptional care of him. We knew he was in the best of hands. We received regular photos and updates and you could tell he had become a member of the family. Everything about booking with Eleanor is 5 star - the communication, organisation, friendliness and care. Thank you!”
“We were really nervous leaving our Cockapoo Puppy, Enzo overnight with a stranger. Enzo suffers from separation anxiety and we had never previously left him for more than a few hours. We visited Maria before confirming the booking for an overnight stay. We found her and her partner to be a lovely couple with a genuine fondness for dogs. We were still apprehensive when we dropped Enzo off for his stay and a little concerned that Maria also had another dog staying. However Enzo soon settled down and was very relaxed when we picked him up the next morning. Maria sent regular updates with video clips and text msgs to show how well Enzo was getting on throughout his stay. We would not hesitate to use Maria again or recommend her to anyone.”
“Wow , what can I say! 10/10 so happy with how my 2 dogs were looked after. I could really tell they were loved like they are at home. So happy with Christine and her family taking care of my boys and HIGHLY recommend ! Thank you, thank you, thank you :)”
“Karen is an amazing dog sitter, our dog Walter loves staying over! Karen's communication is fantastic too, she regularly sends text and photo updates. I would highly recommend Karen to others.”
“As first time dog owners leaving our 7 month old puppy for the first time was daunting. Dawn was amazing… ❤️ she made us feel instantly at ease and looked after Ralph like he was her own. Communication was perfect throughout and her own dog Obi is the gentlest and best companion ever… already booked in for Ralph’s 2nd visit…”
“Super responsive and a true dog lover. Absolutely the only person I trust with my 2 crazy English Bull Terriers. Even had them sleeping in the same bed, they are an old married couple so no easy feat! They are both very different characters and you catered for thier every need. Would not trust ANYONE else to look after my dogs. Thanks Ben (and Steve of course!) For taking such good care of the crazy twins! You are the best!! Xx”
“This being our first time using Rover we were very pleased with the service. From the outset communication with Mark was easy. Responding quickly to queries. As soon as Bondi arrived at their home she was welcomed by two and four legged new friends. I was reassured during the sit. Would definately recommend. Thank you.”

I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I'll treat your dog as if they were one of my own. Whether they love long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing at home, I'll make sure they receive plenty of care, affection, and attention so you can have complete peace of mind while you're away.
