“Ivy had a lovely weekend with Stuarr, Misha and family. She came home so relaxed and happy. Stuart was very caring and attentive to Ivy and we would definitely recommend Stuart to other pooches looking for a loving and caring break. 👍”
“Fantastic, wonderful, amazing experience I would give 1000 stars if I could!!! Helen cared for my Penny pup with kindness compassion and love,I had lots of wonderful messages, pictures and videos of Penny enjoying herself inside and outside, as well as lots of pictures of a sleepy relaxed pup at the end of the day! This definitely helped me relax and enjoy my holiday. I feel that Helen went above and beyond to ensure Penny and I were happy throughout the week and I would recommend her everyone (I have already recommended to everyone at work) Penny was happy and excited when I picked her up and wasn’t at all subdued and grumpy like she had been with a previous boarder company. I will definitely be rebooking in the near future! 🥰”
“Helena was absolutely brilliant with my little Milo, as always! He thoroughly enjoyed his stay and I had regular updates and photos whilst I was away, which was fab. Would highly recommend to anyone. Thanks so much, Helena 🥰🐶 xx”
“Very happy to have found Jess! I could tell from the meet and greet that Wilbur would be well looked after and treated as one of the family. He had a great time with Jess, lots of time playing outdoors and plenty of snoozing and Jess sent lots of photos so I could see how he was getting on through the day. Would highly recommend Jess for your dog care.”
“Fly had a good stay with these sitters.She was looked after very well and I was kept informed by messages and videos of how she was doing. I would certainly leave her here again. Thank you and well done.”
“Jess was incredible with our 2 mini dachshunds, she was incredibly active with both of them. They came home very happy boys! Looks of updates and chats sent through during the stay, we felt totally relaxed this being our first time leaving them with anyone they didn’t know. We will defo be using her again ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Recommend to anyone!”
“Wonderful family. I swear my dog was treated better with them than he is at home. They treated him with so much love and affection. He truly enjoyed his time spent with their family.”
“These guys are great and we will be definitely be using them again. They were always in touch and sending us pics and videos of our dog whilst he was with them. Our dog had a lovely time and was very happy.”
“A week's stay with Arlina and family in January. This was our first stay with two large dogs - Milo and Frank. Very different personalities, energy levels and needs, which Arlina managed well. Kept me well informed throughout the week. A wonderful location and a kind family”
“Nicola and her family were just fantastic. Branston loved staying with them and the family loved having him. Nicola is a very caring person and loves dogs. Nicola also sends lots of doggy updates and pics and knowing our dog was being well looked after just meant we could enjoy our break without worrying.”
“Victoria was really friendly & helpful in accommodating our dachshund Frank. She met with us before the stay to make sure we were happy & our dog would feel happy. Communication was good. Would recommend :) Thank you, Victoria!”
“Louise was great and Boo seemed to really enjoy her stay, it was lovely for Boo to spend time with other dogs and get to play and run around in the great garden. I would 100% recommend Louise and her services as she really seems to care about the dogs she looks after. We will definitely be booking Louise again.”
“Pedro and his family came to the rescue at short notice as we needed our two whippets to be cared for whilst we hosted a party in our home. It made all the difference to know they were safe in a family home (on the sofa) We will definitely use Pedro again”
“Laura was an absolute godsend, I had seen someone previous and it just didn’t work so I was panicking, Laura took a meet and greet last minute for me and was so calm with Evie and looked after her the next day, I had such peace of mind. Such a lovely family and my pooch was spoiled and had the best time with the other doggos there. Thanks Laura xxx”
“Our 2 dogs stayed with Ollie for a week, they settled in really well and were very happy staying with Ollie. Ollie was great in communicating with us, beforehand and whilst we were away, with photos of our dogs. He looked after them both really well, particularly our elderly 14 yr old spaniel, in being able to give him his medications and understanding his needs. We shall definitely be booking again. Thank you Ollie”
“What a find Natalie is. Truly a star sitter. Took care of my little man so well. Sent me lots of pictures and updates. I could see my from them and Natalie's updates, he was having a whale of a time. Slotted into their life and was treated like one of the family. I can't praise her enough for her kindness and at short notice too.”
“Yasmin is a fantastic choice to look after your doggos! My two dogs stayed with her for a week, but we first had a quick meet-up a few weeks beforehand so they (and I) could get to know her. When I dropped them off for their stay, it was clear she’d already made a great impression — they were so excited to see her again! There were no issues at all during their stay. Yasmin kept in touch throughout the week with a lovely stream of photos and updates from their various adventures — both around her flat and on their walks around the racecourse — which was so reassuring. When I picked them up, both Nova (a medium-sized Labradoodle) and Roxy (a small Cockapoo) were happy, healthy, freshly bathed, well-fed, and delightfully exhausted after a week of walks, pampering, and cuddles. Thank you, Yasmin — from me, Nova, and Roxy! 🐾”
“Amy was fantastic looking after our mischievous Beagle. She provided Willow with everything she needed and sent updates and images whilst we were away. She was keen to understand Willow's usual schedule and requirements and ensured she was comfortable. I will certainly look to book with Amy again in the future.”

“Khaley has been absolutely amazing with our grumpy cat Dexy- he loves her and we are worried that he will miss her more than us! Khaley’s communication was fantastic and her updates were thorough with plenty of photos of Dexy. Khaley has gone above and beyond when we have asked and would absolutely recommend her to anyone with an animal. Hopefully Dexy will be able to see his friend again soon!”

“Cannot recommend Elysia enough!! We would not have anyone else look after our cat when we're away. Just came home to a very relaxed and happy cat. As always we were well informed with what he got up to at each visit, and we have the piece of mind to just relax knowing our cat is very well cared for!”

I know how different each cat's personality can be and I'm happy to follow their usual routine so they feel as comfortable and settled as possible while you're gone.

“We felt completely at ease leaving our Bengals in the care of Maria while on holiday. We had initial visits with Maria before our holiday to ensure Benji & Talulah were comfortable and they connected straight away. Talulah became nervous before we left, but after a day Maria sent us updates to show Talulah venturing out to socialise! All updates received were as expected and nothing unusual regarding our cats behaviour. We have already booked Maria again for our next holiday and will be recommending to our friends and family!!”

“Charlotte looked after my cat while i was away a couple of days. She visited before i left to get to say hello to mittens. The weather was atrocious while i was away and Charlotte made all the same choices i would have done about looking after mittens and sent me regular updates which i appreciated. I’d have no hesitation in asking Charlotte to help again in future and I’m sure the cat preferred to stay at home rather than go in a cattery.”
“Laura was amazing! I struggle to trust my cats with just anyone but Laura put me straight at ease. My one cat suffers from stress cystitis which she was amazing about! She was so catering and I really felt like she went above and beyond, she also left my house immaculate! My cats love her too!”

I felt totally at ease leaving Cooper in her care. Thank you so much, Jessica!”

Communication with Alline was excellent and I felt reassured that he was in good hands.... this is the first day care I've used, normally having a dog walker for an hour over lunch when I'm on shift bit this feels a much better option. Have already booked a weekly slot! Thank you for a great service 😊”

“Yasmin was very obliging in collecting our dogs where requested. She also delivered them back to us exactly on time where we required. Our precious pooches were as happy and lively as they always are and so I'm 100% positive they had a good time with Yasmin the whole day. No hesitation in recommending this lovely young lady to take good care of your precious pooch and we would definitely use her again should we visit Newbury again in the future. Thank you xx”

We built a rapport prior to the day care booking and Aimée diligently made sure that any requirements were tailored or addressed prior. On the day, Aimée welcomed my dog with open arms and enthusiasm, she took care of her all day and sent regular updates and photos, when I collected my dog, my dog was reluctant to leave! I will absolutely be booking with Aimée again and cannot recommend her enough. Thank you”
About: Hi, I'm Grace – a lifelong dog lover with a home full of wagging tails and happy paws! 🐾 Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them is truly my passion. I’ve been professionally walking dogs for over 5 years and grooming them for the past 2 – and there’s nothing more rewarding than earning a dog’s trust and seeing them happy, relaxed, and tail-wagging at the end of a visit. Whether it’s a gentle walk, a playful adventure, or a pampering grooming session, I treat every dog as if they were my own. I understand that each pup has their own personality, quirks, and needs – and I pride myself on being patient, loving, and attentive to every one of them. I’m also fully trained in canine first aid, so you can feel confident knowing your dog is in safe, capable hands at all times. Your furry friend’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. You can count on me to provide updates, cuddles, and plenty of love while they’re in my care. 🐶 I work from home as dog groomer so will be at home all day apart from nursery drop offs and picks ups. So they'll have regular fuss, cuddles, attention and toilet breaks. I have a secure, fully fenced garden where dogs can play safely, along with two friendly resident pups who love making new friends. My home is set up with stair gates in various rooms, so I can easily separate dogs if needed - whether for quiet time, rest, or simply a break from the group. Your dog’s comfort and wellbeing always come first.
About: Hi, I’m Aimee — your local dog‑walking and day‑care provider, offering calm, structured, and genuinely caring support for every kind of pup. I’ve worked with everything from energetic working breeds to gentle seniors and nervous rescues, and I love helping each dog feel safe, understood, and happy in my care. I’m joined by my “Chief Assistant,” Hop — my Belgian Malinois who loves helping dogs build confidence, practise good manners, and enjoy positive social time. He’s a friendly, steady presence… but he never has to be involved if your dog prefers one‑to‑one care. Solo walks and individual day‑care are always available for dogs who need their own space or a quieter environment. Whether it’s a structured walk, a fun day of enrichment, or keeping your dog’s routine consistent while you’re busy, your pup gets plenty of attention, gentle handling, and a relaxed home‑from‑home vibe. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I currently have full flexibility in my schedule. I’m able to plan my days around the dogs I look after, giving each one plenty of time, attention, and consistency. This means I can offer reliable walks, relaxed day‑care, and one‑to‑one support whenever it’s needed, without rushing or squeezing pets into a busy timetable. For day care in my home, dogs enjoy a calm, structured environment with plenty of enrichment, play, and rest. I follow each dog’s usual routine and make sure they feel safe and settled. My dog Hop is my friendly “Chief Assistant,” but he never has to be involved — solo care is always available for dogs who prefer their own space. When I’m caring for pets in their own home, I keep everything familiar and consistent. I follow your instructions closely, maintain your dog’s routine, and make sure they get the right mix of exercise, comfort, and attention. Across all services, my focus is gentle handling, positive experiences, and making sure every dog feels relaxed and well cared for.
“Daisy had day-care with Charlie for 5 evenings throughout a month while my Husband and I attended antenatal classes. Charlie and his partner were fantastic, and Daisy clearly loved going to be looked after by them. Charlie was brilliant with communication with us as well, and always completed the rover card with lovely photos of Daisy enjoying her stay. We will certainly love to book with Charlie again :)”
About: I’ve always grew up around dogs so walking and taking care of them has always been part of my life. I also have a dog myself who i take out 2-3 times daily. I’m very flexible as I’m a retired professional footballer who now does crossfit so can work my training around any schedule that might be required. All dog walks offered are highly professional and can suit to your needs depending on your preference or dogs requirements. Your dog will be loved and cared for and returned fully satisfied.
About: I had my dog, Sunny, for 17 years before he went to sleep for the last time :( Since then, renting has meant I haven't been able to have my own pet but I regularly look after family & friends dogs, cats, hamsters and fish! I have a soft spot for a staffy, having fell in love with one I regularly look after. I currently work from home with a very lose requirement to be "seen" in the office a couple of times a month so I am usually at home during the working day and evenings. Out of football season my weekends are usually pretty free also. I have a fully fenced, small garden for your four legged friend to relax in and am happy to follow any guidance or requests from you to keep your pet safe & happy.
About: Since my mid twenties I have had dogs, and get a great deal of enjoyment from being around them. Our standard labradoodle, also loves other dogs too. We have a good garden space for dogs, all fenced off. Dogs also have their own dry and warm space inside, which has direct access to the garden for play. I work from home full time and am always available. Often I get booked up, so in advance booking is recommended. Dog walks take place around my working gaps, so do vary from day to day and last between 20 minutes and 40 minutes. As mentioned above. The garden is a decent size for play and interaction between your dog(s) and my dog. The area is fenced and when I am in the garden the dogs can play. When not in the garden, the dogs are safe in a dry, pet friendly area, which has plenty space to lie down and relax in safely.

“Lily looked after our little playful Nellie for the second time and she has been amazing! She kept us up to date and ensured Nellie was fed and had her fresh water. She is very reliable - she helped us at the very last minute which we appreciate so much. We will be asking Lily to look after our Nellie and future pets again for sure! A star lady!”
About: I have grown up with dogs and have been trusted to look after families and friends dogs since I was very young. I am a vegetarian and love all animals! I work part time at a secondary school, teaching art and design, therefore I have a lot of free time during school holidays to spend with your pet! My pets are treated with the best care and love, I will make sure your animals have exactly what they need whether that’s pots of cuddles or long walks.
“Keyah, has been a life saver for me, walks and pictures sent and always available when she said she would be 100% trust worthy with my home and Molly! Now booking few more dates in. Thanks again x”
“This was Charlie’s first time with my boys. She took the time initially to come and meet my boys and they loved her. She’s so caring and kind I felt happy leaving my boys with her. She communicated well and walked my boys on time and fed them as per their routine. My boys are big dogs and she handles them really well the pictures she sent me says it all. I would definitely use Charlie again to look after my boys!”
“I’d give 10 stars if I could. Sulley was a little shy for the first few walks, but Elysia was very patient with him and now he greets on arrival with excitement. I love the updates from each walk, followed by a picture, it makes me smile whilst at work, knowing he is happy and getting fussed over. This routine I have with Elysia has been a life saver with work commitments and knowing Sulley is happy is everything. Elysia responds promptly, even when she is busy, she still lets me know she has received my message and will respond when she can, even when I make a request at a silly time! Would absolutely recommend!”

About: I have had a dog since childhood, which has given me over 30 years of hands, on experience caring for pets. Over the years, I have also helped friends, family, and neighbors with their dogs, taking care of walks, feeding, and giving them the attention they need. I am patient and caring with both energetic puppies and older dogs who may need extra support. I believe every pet has a unique personality, and I always make sure to respect their individual needs and routines. As a stay-at-home mom and therapist, I work mainly from home with occasional online sessions. This gives me plenty of time and flexibility to care for your dog throughout the day. I can provide walks, playtime, and lots of attention to make sure your pup feels happy and safe. I live with my husband and two kids (ages 11 and 17), and we are all animal lovers. We have a secure fenced yard both in the front and back of the house, giving dogs plenty of safe space to play and explore. I also have a pug friendly at home who love company, and I can crate your dog if needed for safety or comfort.

About: Hi, I’m Lily! 🐾 I’ve been around animals my entire life and caring for pets has always come naturally to me. Growing up, I had two older dogs who have since sadly passed, as well as hamsters, rabbits, guinea pigs, rats, and fish so caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life. I currently have two Yorkshire Terriers of my own, Enzo and Pippa, who are very loved and spoiled members of the family. Through friends, family, neighbours, and regular owners, I’ve looked after 7 dogs overall and still continue to care for 5 of them regularly. My experience includes dog walking, drop-ins, and dog sitting, with my longest stay being a full week caring for a neighbour’s dog. I’ve cared for multiple breeds and personalities, including dogs that require extra attention or accessibility support, so I understand that every dog has different needs and routines. While I don’t have formal qualifications, I do have lots of hands-on experience, patience, and genuine love for animals. Alongside pet care, I work full-time as a Food & Beverage Supervisor, but I’m looking to spend more of my free time doing something I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs! I’m mainly available for walks on my days off, mornings or evenings especially Wednesdays but also depending on my work schedule which I receive a month prior, but I’m also happy to offer drop-ins and overnight stays where possible. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I’ll always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for just like my own. Pet care is already a huge part of my everyday life as I have two Yorkshire Terriers of my own, Enzo and Pippa, who I care for daily. Alongside this, I regularly help care for dogs belonging to friends, family, and neighbours through walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays. I work full-time as a Food & Beverage Supervisor, so pet care fits around my work schedule and my days off, especially Wednesdays, when I’m most available for walks and extra time with pets. I’m also happy to offer drop-ins and overnight stays where possible. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy and naturally make time for in my routine. When caring for pets in either my home or a pet owner’s home, I always try to stick as closely as possible to their usual routine so they feel comfortable, safe, and settled. I understand every pet is different, so I always take the time to learn about their needs, personality, feeding schedule, walking routine, and anything else important to their care. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, affection, playtime, exercise, and companionship while their owners are away. Whether that’s going on walks, playing with toys, relaxing on the sofa for cuddles, or simply keeping them company, I always want them to feel loved and cared for. I also have experience caring for dogs with different personalities and additional care needs, so I’m patient and understanding with shy, energetic, nervous, or older pets. I’m happy to provide updates and photos too, as I know how reassuring it is to know your pet is happy and in good hands.
“Steven has been great with our dog Ted, taking the time to build trust with a nervous dog. Even when the next walk starts the same way due to Ted being anxious, still calm and patient. Highly recommended.”

I’ve always had a genuine love for animals, and caring for them brings me so much happiness. I understand that pets are family, and I take that responsibility seriously—making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I have experience looking after a range of different personalities—from playful, energetic pets to those who are a little more shy and need patience and reassurance. Whether your pet loves cuddles, playtime, or just a calm, comforting presence, I always adapt my care to suit them. 🐱 What you can expect from me: * Plenty of attention tailored to your pet * Playtime based on their personality * Feeding, fresh water, litter tray cleaning, and general care * Regular updates with photos and messages so you have peace of mind * A calm, patient approach—especially for nervous or shy pets I’ve cared for many cats included in my pictures each with their own unique personalities—whether that’s following you around like a shadow, enjoying sunbathing in the garden, or just wanting a cosy cuddle. I love getting to know each pet and building that trust with them. 💬 Communication is really important to me, so you’ll always know how your pet is doing while you’re away. I aim to respond quickly and keep everything as stress-free as possible for both you and your pet. ✨ Why choose me? Because I genuinely care. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always go the extra mile to make sure they feel happy, safe, and loved. I’d love to meet you and your pet—feel free to message me with any questions! I am pretty flexible in finding a time that works for you and your furr babies. I work shift work which means I am flexible in times I can visit your animals :) I would be caring for your pets at your home. I also offer a meet and greet so you can meet me before you go away.
About: I can’t think of a time in my life when I haven’t had a pet(s). From mice to horses, and nearly everything in between. I’m a qualified dog groomer. I also have a cat and dog first aid certificate. I have just recently been made redundant and thought it would be the perfect time to try something new. I love animals and now find myself with plenty of time to look after and take care of other peoples animals too. I am happy to adjust each visit to the needs of your pet, whether that be to sit and snuggle , play in the garden or a park, or a short or long walk. My own 13 year old Sprocker Spaniel, is very friendly and will make a lovely temporary companion if walked together. I am able to walk them separately if needed.
“Steph is absolutely brilliant with Juno, our Chocolate Labrador. She was happy to come round and meet us all before taking Juno out properly for the first time, and was really patient as Juno got used to the change in her routine. Steph was also excellent at taking on board our specific instructions, and left detailed comments and photos after every walk. We would definitely recommend Steph, and would be happy to book her again.”
About: I have had dogs throughout my whole life and have walked many of my friends of families dogs consistently throughout the past 3 years. I have had experience walking a small group of dogs daily for a more than a few months, have walked dogs solo including bigger breeds. I have taken dogs solo and in a group to dog parks for extra exercise. I have also owned cats for 7 years and am experienced with their behaviour and know how to acknowledge their needs and give them the appropriate attention. I’m currently working part time on a 6 hour contract in retail, I’m looking to make a little extra money to be able to get by after finishing college this year and this is a perfect opportunity for me. I own a cat and dog sit my sister’s dog regularly while she is at work. My cat gets all the attention in the world, he is an active cat and likes to be left alone sometimes, owning a cat like this made me aware of the signs that a cat needs space. I have walked my sister’s dog many times over 2 years, she can be unhappy around other dogs sometimes so I know how to deal with a dog that is stressed. I provide a safe and enjoyable environment for any animal I encounter.

“Helena was absolutely brilliant with my little Milo, as always! He thoroughly enjoyed his stay and I had regular updates and photos whilst I was away, which was fab. Would highly recommend to anyone. Thanks so much, Helena 🥰🐶 xx”
“Very happy to have found Jess! I could tell from the meet and greet that Wilbur would be well looked after and treated as one of the family. He had a great time with Jess, lots of time playing outdoors and plenty of snoozing and Jess sent lots of photos so I could see how he was getting on through the day. Would highly recommend Jess for your dog care.”
“Jess was incredible with our 2 mini dachshunds, she was incredibly active with both of them. They came home very happy boys! Looks of updates and chats sent through during the stay, we felt totally relaxed this being our first time leaving them with anyone they didn’t know. We will defo be using her again ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Recommend to anyone!”
“Wonderful family. I swear my dog was treated better with them than he is at home. They treated him with so much love and affection. He truly enjoyed his time spent with their family.”
“These guys are great and we will be definitely be using them again. They were always in touch and sending us pics and videos of our dog whilst he was with them. Our dog had a lovely time and was very happy.”
“Nicola and her family were just fantastic. Branston loved staying with them and the family loved having him. Nicola is a very caring person and loves dogs. Nicola also sends lots of doggy updates and pics and knowing our dog was being well looked after just meant we could enjoy our break without worrying.”
“Pedro and his family came to the rescue at short notice as we needed our two whippets to be cared for whilst we hosted a party in our home. It made all the difference to know they were safe in a family home (on the sofa) We will definitely use Pedro again”
“Laura was an absolute godsend, I had seen someone previous and it just didn’t work so I was panicking, Laura took a meet and greet last minute for me and was so calm with Evie and looked after her the next day, I had such peace of mind. Such a lovely family and my pooch was spoiled and had the best time with the other doggos there. Thanks Laura xxx”
“Our 2 dogs stayed with Ollie for a week, they settled in really well and were very happy staying with Ollie. Ollie was great in communicating with us, beforehand and whilst we were away, with photos of our dogs. He looked after them both really well, particularly our elderly 14 yr old spaniel, in being able to give him his medications and understanding his needs. We shall definitely be booking again. Thank you Ollie”
“Yasmin is a fantastic choice to look after your doggos! My two dogs stayed with her for a week, but we first had a quick meet-up a few weeks beforehand so they (and I) could get to know her. When I dropped them off for their stay, it was clear she’d already made a great impression — they were so excited to see her again! There were no issues at all during their stay. Yasmin kept in touch throughout the week with a lovely stream of photos and updates from their various adventures — both around her flat and on their walks around the racecourse — which was so reassuring. When I picked them up, both Nova (a medium-sized Labradoodle) and Roxy (a small Cockapoo) were happy, healthy, freshly bathed, well-fed, and delightfully exhausted after a week of walks, pampering, and cuddles. Thank you, Yasmin — from me, Nova, and Roxy! 🐾”
“Toby our schnauzer,had amazing time with Jo and Martin.They are kind,friendly couple who took a great care of our boy.They kept us up to date with messages,photos and video of him and we knew he was safe and in good hands. Toby went on long walks and on the train adventure to the town. We would highly recommend Jo and Martin and we will definitely book again.Thank you so much🐶”
“Jacob took very good care of my dog Duchess. He was communicative, flexible and sent lots of pictures and updates. He and Duchess seemed like they had a really good time together, and he allowed her to sleep on his bed too, which is always a plus! I will definitely ask him to look after my dog again.”
“I can’t recommend Grace enough! She clearly has a lot of experience with dogs and it really shows in the way she handles everything with ease and confidence. My pup felt completely comfortable and well cared for, which gave me total peace of mind. On top of that, she was incredibly flexible with scheduling and always kind and thoughtful in her communication. If you’re looking for someone reliable, compassionate, and truly great with dogs, Grace is the one!”
About: As a lifelong animal lover, I’ve grown up surrounded by pets and have cared for my own animals as well as those of family and friends for many years. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your dog while you’re away. I share my home with Rafferty, my friendly 2-year-old Cockapoo, who loves having canine company. I work remotely from home, so your dog will have plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. We maintain a consistent routine with Rafferty, including regular exercise, mental stimulation, and varied walks to keep things interesting and enriching. When your dog stays with us, they’ll be welcomed as part of the family and cared for as if they were our own. I take the time to understand each dog’s individual needs, personality, and preferences so I can provide a comfortable, consistent, and loving home-from-home experience during their stay. I work full time from home so am available throughout the day to care for your dog’s needs and keep them company. We have a good routine with our own dog, Rafferty, with morning/evening walks and plenty of play breaks through the day. I have a fenced garden and your dog will be welcome throughout our home so they can find the spaces they feel most comfortable le in. Your pet's safety and happiness is of the utmost importance.

Luke was so accommodating, treated him like one of the family and my dog had come home a very happy boy richer for this experience. Great communication. I could relax knowing my dog was in good hands Will definitely be calling on Luke again.”
