“Bethany and James were perfect sitters for Alfie, they sent photos and updates daily to ensure we were kept well informed of his happiness. A week away from Alfie is a long time for us, but we can tell he loved it. We fully recommend Bethany and will be booking again soon.”
“Natalie was wonderful with our dog, and her gentle giant Zeke is a equally wonderful. She came fully stocked with toys, which our dog proceeded to destroy, and he was very quickly at ease with Natalie. Highly recommend!”
About: I have always been surrounded by many pets, having grown up on a small holding, with equine, sheep and poultry. Grew up with Golden Retrievers and smaller breeds. Attended Plumpton College to study Animal Management - qualified Level 3. I work from home on the days when pets are in my care. I work for the NHS as an Estate Manager, my work is very flexible therefore my schedule will be altered to suit the care and presence of your pet. I have a 3 bed home in Battle, 20 minute walk to the village, close the Netherfield woods and have access to a vehicle to walk at alternative locations.
“Lovely boarding setting, my dog is like my baby and she was loved and cared for just as well. It helped with my own anxiety of leaving her, we had lots of photo updates and messages throughout the week. My parents dog also boarded at the same time and he was also very happy. Thank you for taking such good care of our doggies 🩵🩵”
“Rio spent just over a week with Natasha and her family and had a great time! He was well looked after and cared for and I received updates and photos throughout the time to help put my mind at rest. This was his first time away and I think he was unsettled initially but soon settled in and didn’t rush to the door to come home when we collected him! Would definitely use again and would recommend to others. Thank you!”
“Ricky was very flexible and accommodating. Pepper hasn’t stayed with anyone he doesn’t know before so I wasn’t sure how it would go. Ricky wasn’t phased and Pepper ended up having a lovely time. His two gorgeous dogs really helped to make Pepper feel at home.”
“I had a wonderful experience leaving my dog Flo with Joanna for one week while I was abroad. Joanna was patient, caring, and sent regular photos and feedback every day. I felt totally at ease and will use Joanna's service regularly throughout the year. Highly recommended! What I Loved: Daily updates with cute photos; Kind and patient care for Flo; Great communication while I was away; and Total peace of mind on my trip Future Plans: Will book again very soon for daily care and overnight stays; and I Plan to use Joanna's service regularly all year”
“Nunu was a dream for our two dogs. They loved her straight away. She was brilliant with us too - super communicative. It was great to leave our 1 year old and 10 year old with her because she was so competent, fun and friendly. Will definitely use again!”
About: I have grown up with dogs all my life so am no stranger to man's best friend. I've looked after many family and friends pooches too so I have lots of experience caring, loving and entertaining dogs (I’m not shy of some rough playtime or a snuggle on the sofa!!) I am trustworthy, sensible and reliable - here for all of your needs - I’m active and love spending time outdoors, so I’d love to have your pooch join me and become part of my day. I also understand how difficult it is to leave them in someone else's hands, so be prepared for regular pupdates and photos!

We can arrange a meet beforehand so that your mutt and myself are well acquainted. If boarding - we have a safe enclosed courtyard garden, meaning toilet breaks are never limited.
“Mostly when leaving your dog with someone any owner is looking for reassurance that they will be well cared for. Robert gave us that confidence and reassurance from the moment we met him. Calm and caring towards our dog. Would happily recommend.”
About: After years of dog sitting friends pups, Tony, my 2 year old Parson Terrier pounced into my life. Based beside a park and love the outdoors so forever clocking our steps in with other doggies/dog owners. I work from home through the week so flexible with keeping doggies company Early riser so often up and on our dog walking around 6 more mornings. A humble top floor flat with plenty of soft furnishings for pooches to cuddle up to - always have a watchful eye on doggies so very easy to comfort them under my care
“Elsie has clearly had the best day possible today, and that's thanks to the affection Bethany shows her. Elsie is really settled and cared for and looks enormously delighted to have stayed over - in fact on arriving to pick her up Elsie is just the right level of furious to come home with me after, and that's Elsie's way of telling me what a great day she had. Looking forward to next time. 🐾”
“Matt and Kaitlyn were brilliant with my dog Lola. They kept me updated throughout with lovely messages and photos, including some Idyllic shots of her watching the sunset, which was really reassuring. Lola looked completely relaxed and happy, and it was clear she was having a lovely time in their garden. They were communicative, thoughtful and clearly cared about making her feel comfortable. I’d happily book with them again and would definitely recommend them!”

“Lauren did a fantastic job of looking after our two cats while we were away. She was conscientious, reliable and excellent at keeping us updated and responding to messages. The cats had the companionship they needed and Lauren made every effort to maintain their daily routine. Our cats were very comfortable with her and were more than happy to get their cuddles, brushes and strokes from her right from the start. We came home to happy, healthy cats, a clean and tidy house and were able to enjoy a worry free trip. Lauren comes highly recommended!”
“Kiran popped in and did a house visit for Bob and even offered to come round and meet him first. I was kept well updated and Amy’s communication was brilliant too. Will definitely be booking again when needed”
“As ever, Amy was a wonderful sitter. And a perfect houseguest. Pretty sure it was tidier coming back to than when we left! His Highness wasn't at all bothered about us being away. Which shows how happy he was. Cannot recommend Amy enough, especially if you are nervous when going away and leaving the boss/es.”
“I picked Brenna because she lives locally, but have really lucked out. I adopted Suri - a retired racer geyground - two weeks ago and we are still establishing our rhythms. It is obvious Brenna has a huge amount of patience and love for dogs and I feel confident leaving Suri in her care. It’s been nice getting the updates through the Rover app on what they’ve been up to. It’s been nice seeing them bond with each visit. Would recommend Brenna 100%”
“Thank you so much Sophia for your care of Aleta. She obviously loved every minute of her time with you and I was so grateful when I was unable to return as expected and you looked after her for much longer. I would highly recommend Sophia.”
“Natalie was great with our kitten, she kept us posted on how it was going with pictures and made us feel super relaxed as we were using Rover for the first time. Would highly recommend :)”
About: I’ve had cats all my life and they’ve always been a huge part of my family. I currently have my gorgeous cat Mitty, and sadly lost her brother Simba last year due to diabetes. That experience made me even more aware of how important attentive, reliable care is. I understand that every cat has their own personality, routine and needs, and I’ll treat yours with the same love and care I give my own. I’m happy to feed, change litter, play, cuddle (if they want to!) and send plenty of photo updates while you’re away. 🐾💕

About: We are a retired couple with our own young male golden retriever who have plenty of time on our hands to look after your pet & pamper him or her. Toby our goldie gets on well with all dogs. Before our present dog we had a very lovable goldie called Sam for 14.5 years. We really enjoy walks in the woods and on the beaches . We have a small enclosed secure garden for playing games with our dog and any visitor. We do 3 walks a day with Toby, morning, around lunchtime and evening. All in all we are pretty sure your pet will have an enjoyable time with us and will be most welcome. Having our own dog pet care is primary in everything we do on a day to day basis. From morning till night Toby & any other dog is our priority. Toby has a very secure environment, a safe enclosed garden, when it's hot the house is cool especially where we have tiles. There are plenty of walks in the area.
“Ruby has only been away with a dog sitter once before, she really enjoyed her time with Beth and came back relaxed and happy. Ruby is a very energetic dog and it is great that Beth met her needs. We will return!”
“Alicia is a lovely lady, and we like her. More importantly our dogs like her too, and they were sad to say goodbye. Alicia has a lovely, easily accessible house, with a decent-sized fully enclosed garden. Very safe for our four-pawed friends. Julian Carter”
“Jo is absolutely amazing with Poppy. Sends lots of lovely updates of the fun they’re having together throughout the day and Poppy always is so excited to spend time with her. So kind and caring of her needs. Would highly recommend!”
“Matthew and Tony were excellent! Incredibly flexible with a short notice booking, early start time and a pick up time based on a hospital appointment. Trixie had a brilliant time, lots of running and playing chase. Matthew put her at ease really quickly and dealt with a sensitive dog really well. I would highly recommend Matthew, and I will 100% use him again.”

“Nawal took such beautiful care of Pablo. He’s a gigantic high energy puppy who can be a handful when he’s bored, but she was completely unphased, gave him loads of exercise, mental stimulation and love, and shared photos and updates with us all day so we felt totally at ease. She has magical calm energy, and is a genuine animal lover. Pablo didn’t want to leave!”
About: I have been caring for pets for more than 10 years and grew up with dogs, cats and even tortoises of my own, so animals have always been a big part of my life. More recently, I spent two years house and pet sitting full-time through TrustedHousesitters, caring for dogs with a wide range of personalities, energy levels and routines. During that time, I earned more than 40 five-star reviews from pet owners. What sets me apart is the amount of time and attention I can give each dog. I work remotely from home and keep boarding intentionally small-scale, usually caring for dogs from just one household at a time. This allows me to follow their normal routine closely and help them feel settled, rather than treating their stay like a busy kennel or daycare environment. I am patient, calm and confident following detailed care instructions. With younger dogs, I can reinforce the training and boundaries you already use at home, including toilet routines, lead manners, settling calmly and rewarding positive behaviour. I am not a professional dog trainer, but I understand the importance of consistency, particularly when a puppy or young dog is adjusting to a new environment. I am also comfortable adapting care for older dogs, including gentler or shorter walks, more frequent toilet breaks, medication schedules and plenty of quiet time to rest. I understand that senior dogs can be especially attached to familiar routines, so I will take the time to learn what makes your dog feel safe and comfortable. Above all, I am reliable, organised and communicative. I will treat your dog as an individual, follow your instructions carefully and send regular photographs and updates throughout their stay. I work remotely from home, so pet care fits easily into my normal routine. I can provide regular toilet breaks, company and attention throughout the day, with walks before work, during my lunch break and again in the afternoon or evening, depending on your dog’s usual schedule. I also have a small garden where dogs can enjoy supervised outdoor time and regular toilet breaks. We live just a five-minute walk from beautiful Alexandra Park, which is ideal for daily walks, sniffing and exploring. My working hours are generally earlier in the day, leaving plenty of time for longer walks, play and relaxed time together later on. At weekends, I have more flexibility for longer outings and can adapt my plans around the pets staying with me. I keep boarding small-scale and usually care for pets from one household at a time, so I can follow their normal feeding, walking and sleeping routine as closely as possible. I will always ask how long your pet is comfortable being left alone and make sure their stay suits their individual needs. I aim to create a calm, comfortable environment where every pet can settle at their own pace. I usually care for pets from one household at a time, allowing me to give them plenty of individual attention and maintain a peaceful home. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding, walking, medication and sleeping routines. Dogs are supervised in the garden, kept on lead unless otherwise agreed, and never left alone for longer than they are comfortable with. Before a first booking, I arrange a meet and greet so we can discuss your pet’s personality, habits and any health, behavioural or safety needs. I will also ask about recall, reactivity, separation anxiety and how they behave around unfamiliar dogs and people. When caring for pets in their own home, I treat both the animals and the property with respect. I keep to their usual routine, leave the home clean and secure, and send regular photos and updates so owners can feel confident that everything is going well.
“We were very confident in leaving our nervous whippet with Amy and Kiran for the afternoon. They were friendly and capable, clearly love dogs and were brilliant with Muguet. Highly recommended.”
About: I've taken care of dogs since I got my own at age 6, regularly petsitting for neighbours and friends from age 13. I also volunteered several days a week at an animal shelter for four years, so I've had lots of experience with a wide range of breeds, sizes, ages, and needs. I have a rescue lab mix of my own now, who’s always looking for a new friend. I work 100% remote with a flexible schedule so I’m easily able to fit my day around any dog’s routine. I’m familiar with dogs’ typical needs as I take care of my own! I'm happy to follow whatever routine your dog is used to in your home, and can adapt to your dog's specific needs and preferences. I'll communicate with you on a regular basis so you know your dog is doing well.
“So grateful to Ricky and his pups for spending the day with Pablo at the last minute. Ricky has fantastic calm energy that made Pablo feel instantly comfortable, and gave us confidence that he was in great hands.”
“Elizabeth has a great space for looking after dogs. Our dog Violet settled easily and was very happy when we picked her up and had clearly had a good play as she fell asleep right after we picked her up. Thanks so much, if we ever need a dog sitter in the area again we'll definitely look you up.”
“Bill is absolutely amazing. Has a lovely calm presence that makes you feel really confident leaving your dog with him. Poppy has such a great time when she’s there and he really pays attention to her needs and wants which is all you can ask for! Would highly recommend!”
“First time I'd left my dog with Daniel. Very welcoming and sent photos of him playing with his dog. He came home exhausted so think a good time was gsd. Will be happy to use Daniel again.”
“Thank you Philippa for taking such good care of my whippet. He was happy and relaxed when I came to collect him. And I loved the picture updates. I felt reassured he was well looked after whilst he was with you. Hopefully see you again!”
“Both Leslie and Max are brilliant pet sitters. They look after Hudson as if he was their own dog and he loves spending time with Sage as well. Would definitely recommend their services.”

“I can’t recommend Natasha enough! They are incredibly consistent and always punctual, which gives me such peace of mind while I’m working. My dog absolutely loves their walks, and I love knowing I can rely on them 100%. Five stars!”
About: I've had dogs around me for most of my life. From puppies to senior dogs, Chihuahuas to German Shepherds, I've looked after them all. Having my own dog means I understand the responsibility, routine and emotional needs pets have. My dog is friendly and playful, but also loves lazing around the house. To keep all dogs safe and happy during their stay, I’m licensed to board dogs under Rother District Council and need to follow a few simple requirements. (Licence number 35921) All dogs should be fully vaccinated, up to date with flea and worming treatments, and have had the kennel cough vaccine. I’ll also need to see proof of this, as part of my licensing conditions. For everyone’s safety, dogs must also be microchipped. Thank you for your understanding — it helps ensure a safe and comfortable environment for all our furry guests! Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I'm at home most days, and with my flexible schedule, I have plenty of time to give pets attention, care and affection they need. I live with my partner and we have four children age 8 to 10 who are gentle and love animals, so pets get lots of playtime and companionship, although I will be the care taker of your dog. Whether pets are in my home or their owners, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable and well cared for. In my home, I have a pet-friendly environment with space to play and rest. I follow the pets usual routine as closely as possible - this includes feeding schedules, walks and any special care they need. I also make sure they get plenty of love and attention throughout the day. I am DBS checked and have public liability insurance.
About: I’m an highly experienced pet/house sitter, having looked after everything from blind toy poodles to escape artist hamsters in their homes - including managing baths, medication and vet visits. ** I don't work, so am fully attentive to your dog's needs and routines ** Only take one client at a time ** Walled garden, with access to large park-like communal garden ** I like to take dogs on outings and do fun things, which I'll send you lots of photos of (See my reviews) ** I'm particularly good with dogs that need to build their confidence and be gently supported to do things they might normally be wary of. I grew up with beautiful energetic dogs and affectionate cats, and adore spending time with animals. I have a slew of friends’ dogs for who I’m the go-to person for overnight stays and walks, and like to get close to the pets I look after. (Although it makes saying goodbye extra hard 😢) I’ll always follow your instructions for your pet to the letter (but will have a sweet spot for dogs that are allowed cuddles with me on the sofa and can sleep on my bed 🙂) I am currently not working and so can be very attentive to your pet. I am very flexible about timings (pick ups, drop offs, arrivals), walking times and duration of care. I have a car (although it has a closed boot so can only carry dogs on the back seat) I like pet sitting in the animal’s own home as it puts them at ease and smooths the discomfort that can come from being looked after by a new person If you prefer them at my place, my basement flat has a very safe walled garden, but I also have access to a beautiful park-like communal garden, and the park and seafront are 5 mins from my flat.
“Gonzo seems to be in love with Jordie, he's been on two walks with her so far and came back very happy and content. Jordie was on time and very friendly. Thanks again Jordie!”
About: I have a lovely senior dog of my own, a rescue that I have had for 10 years. I grew up with dogs and cats. I have also worked with horses at a horse riding school. I love animals and I have lots of experience in caring for them. Im a tattooist/creative and I’m currently working on a creative writing project at home so I have a lot of flexibility in terms of work schedule and location. I will be offering caring for your pets in your own home, visits in your own home or walks. I have worked in hospitality for over ten years while I was studying social work, now I’m a social worker but I’m taking time off while I do some writing. I will take care of your home just like I would take care of the venue at my hospitality jobs. I would be happy to keep your pet company while you’re at work or away, I can take them for lots of walks or minimal walks depending on their age, and I can give them lots of cuddles! Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions.
“Amy was lovely & friendly. CúSí took to her straight away. She came well prepared for walking with bags, water and a pop up bowl. She was flexible in changing the walk time to an earlier one due to hot weather. CúSí came home chilled and happy after an hour's walking. I'd definitely recommend Amy to anyone looking for a dog walker and I have no doubt she'd also excel at pet sitting services too.”
About: I've looked after dogs, cats, farm animals and other since I was a teenager (20+ yr experience). I've helped train puppies as well as caring for senior dogs and have had my own beautiful family of dogs ranging from larger dogs to tiny ones. All animals are different, generally the main theme is providing safety, fun, attention and care. I'm currently on a career break (a little over a decade running operations in London start ups) so I have flexible availability. I have a car, spend a lot of time outdoors and am generally quite relaxed. I follow any instruction given to keep both the pet and the home safe and cared for. At my own home, I have two lifts to access the floor (no stairs for senior dogs), windows are up high and kept on a Pendlay lock.
About: I grew up with a passion of wanting to work with animals as a veterinary nurse, volunteering at local vets and animal rescues as a teenager. I'm now an NHS professional, with a love for animals still wanting to do something on the side of my full-time job. I grew up with a cat and dogs and other furry critters, have owned my own since including my little scaly friend who is a Crested Gecko. I've made doggy friends through friends who have been on Rover and am now wanting to make my own! I work full time as an NHS professional, so while my availability can be limited I also have varying days off and occassional free weekends as well as evenings. I live with two dogs owned by my friends who have also become my companions. I'm a versatile person who likes to match the energy of others, so whether your pet needs someone hyperactive to play and run with or someone calm and lazy to take a steady walk and cuddle with, or maybe a hands-off approach, I can tailor to that. I have personal experience of owning a rescue/reactive dog in the past so can also be understanding to these circumstances
About: Loving family which have always had pets. We are a family of dog lovers! Currently we own a beautiful 3 year old dog called Belle. In addition, we have 3 cats and a Gargoyle Gecko. All of our pets are loving cared for in our large family home and gardens. No expense is spared in ensuring our pets have an enriching and happy life. We live in a large 7 bedroom house in a quiet close in Hastings. The large house means that our children and fur babies all have their own space when needed. Our secure garden is available all day as well as visits to local parks, woods and seaside. We also have an annual subscription to Bedgebury Pinetum, which we usually attend at weekends. I (Ross) am a headteacher and my wife is a teacher. Because of this, we cherish the weekends and school holidays together with our children and fur-babies. These times are spent with dog walks, play parks and family time. Our pets are an important addition to this. We will be accepting bookings during school holidays and weekends only. During these times we can dedicate our time to ensuring your pet has the best time possible. If requested, we can send you regular photo updates of how your dog is getting on and what they have been up to! Large double fenced back garden. Secured front access to property, protected by Ring Security. Our animals are well loved by all family members. We take into account their physical and mental well being.

“Robert has been so good with walking my dog Diesel, other dog walker have cancelled because he can be alot of work, but Robert has really adapted to work with diesel to ensure he gets the care needed.”
About: I’ve played a massive role in looking after my own dog which has been the family pet for 7 years now, I did all of his training when he was a puppy. I’ve also looked after someone else’s dog when I was in Brighton and took the dog for walks, as well as looking after her in her owners house and in my own home. I’m currently only working part time and usually work from home most Wednesdays. So my schedule is currently quite flexible to fit in and around caring for your pets! Looking after someone’s dog in their home I would make sure that the dog is well occupied and entertained by going on walks and lots of play time. And very respectful that I’m in someone else’s home. In my home I live opposite the beach so lots of walks and relaxing on my sofa!
“Sophia is amazing! It was our first time leaving our Tamaskan Leo so we were a bit nervous but Sophia was very reassuring and with the daily updates and photos on walks we were able to enjoy our holiday knowing he was having a great time. Thank You Sophia!!!!!!!”

About: I’ve owned rescue Greyhound’s for 20 years and despite being a Specialist Nurse am now training to be a dog behaviourist with the Cambridge Institute of Dog Behaviour and Training. I have cared and trained family and friends dogs and worked with some very experienced Dog Trainers. I care and work with all breeds but my specialty are sighthounds. I am now concentrating on my dog business as I have left the NHS behind. I am currently studying and training dogs so my daily routine is very flexible right now. I can offer drop-ins, dog walks and sitting weekdays and some weekends. My overnight dog sitting rate of £90 in your own home includes daytime (usually 20-21 hours) and includes any walks your dog/dogs need. My dog has the run of the house. She is very clean and well trained and great with other dogs. I can have one other dog in my home for dog boarding and sitting.
“Brenna is brilliant. I feel very comfortable know Suri is in good hands. I trust Brenna to have a set of my keys and to respect my house and Suri’s needs. I really love getting the updates of what they’ve been up to”
“Lauren was fantastic with Rascal, she came round to meet him first and in her own time which I appreciated as I was nervous handing my pooch over to a stranger. Lauren handled Rascal immediately without any problems. Thank you Lauren for being so punctual and helping me out, you are a STAR dog walker. Will sure to be in touch if I require your services again 🙏.....Rascal says 'whoof' thank you to.😘”

“Rio spent just over a week with Natasha and her family and had a great time! He was well looked after and cared for and I received updates and photos throughout the time to help put my mind at rest. This was his first time away and I think he was unsettled initially but soon settled in and didn’t rush to the door to come home when we collected him! Would definitely use again and would recommend to others. Thank you!”
“Ricky was very flexible and accommodating. Pepper hasn’t stayed with anyone he doesn’t know before so I wasn’t sure how it would go. Ricky wasn’t phased and Pepper ended up having a lovely time. His two gorgeous dogs really helped to make Pepper feel at home.”
“Nunu was a dream for our two dogs. They loved her straight away. She was brilliant with us too - super communicative. It was great to leave our 1 year old and 10 year old with her because she was so competent, fun and friendly. Will definitely use again!”
About: I have grown up with dogs all my life so am no stranger to man's best friend. I've looked after many family and friends pooches too so I have lots of experience caring, loving and entertaining dogs (I’m not shy of some rough playtime or a snuggle on the sofa!!) I am trustworthy, sensible and reliable - here for all of your needs - I’m active and love spending time outdoors, so I’d love to have your pooch join me and become part of my day. I also understand how difficult it is to leave them in someone else's hands, so be prepared for regular pupdates and photos! Don’t hesitate to message me, Della 😊 I work full time so weekdays I'm available for evening dog walks/ drop in visits (5pm onwards) At the weekends I am able to provide all day care or they can board from Friday evenings right the way through the weekend. We can arrange a meet beforehand so that your mutt and myself are well acquainted. If boarding - we have a safe enclosed courtyard garden, meaning toilet breaks are never limited.
“Mostly when leaving your dog with someone any owner is looking for reassurance that they will be well cared for. Robert gave us that confidence and reassurance from the moment we met him. Calm and caring towards our dog. Would happily recommend.”
“Elsie has clearly had the best day possible today, and that's thanks to the affection Bethany shows her. Elsie is really settled and cared for and looks enormously delighted to have stayed over - in fact on arriving to pick her up Elsie is just the right level of furious to come home with me after, and that's Elsie's way of telling me what a great day she had. Looking forward to next time. 🐾”
“Matt and Kaitlyn were brilliant with my dog Lola. They kept me updated throughout with lovely messages and photos, including some Idyllic shots of her watching the sunset, which was really reassuring. Lola looked completely relaxed and happy, and it was clear she was having a lovely time in their garden. They were communicative, thoughtful and clearly cared about making her feel comfortable. I’d happily book with them again and would definitely recommend them!”

About: I have had cats all my life, and I had a dog from the age of 15-30, who I walked and cared for daily. I am not currently in a position to have my own pet, so I enjoy sitting, walking and cuddling others in the mean time :) I work Mon-Fri, leaving 7.30am and returning home between 4-5. Cats are best suited for longer stays during the weeks. Dogs are welcome in the evenings and for overnight stays I'd they can be collected early. Otherwise weekends are best. I am also able to pop in anywhere local for feeding and walking etc in the week and weekends in the mornings and evenings. I live in a 3 story house, so there are lots of stairs! But generally I hang out on one floor where the kitchen is and access to an outdoor space, so your pets don't have to deal with the stairs too much! I'm happy for them to be on sofa snoozing and in my bed if they don't malt loads! I have a garden that is fenced on one side and walled on the other.
“Tzarina was amazing with Leroy, her communication was great, I felt really safe and reassured to leave Leroy with her for a Long weekend. Will definitely book her again!”

“Eric and Winnie had a lovely time with Leah. When I dropped them off Leah showed me where the dogs would have access and once I left they both made themselves at home. It was an extremely hot day so they were sensibly not taken on a walk but they had plenty of outside space if they needed. Leah sent me photos and updates during the day which was great and reassuring. I highly recommend Leah and would not hesitate to book her again.”
