“Thank you so much for having our family dog at such short notice. He's absolutely loved being with you both and is totally shattered. James kept me updated with photos and the walks they had been on throughout his stay. I would be very happy for Obie to stay again and would highly recommend James as a trustworthy dog sitter and walker. Will definitely be using again. Thank you again for having him.”


2. Alison C.

“Alison is a brilliant sitter. It was the first time our small dog has been left with anyone but family, so we were very apprehensive, but straight from the off Alison but our minds at rest, she messaged, took videos & pictures throughout the day, reassuring us that our dog had settled in well. When I went to collect her she seemed very happy & content. Thank you Alison for providing a lovely second home for our dog, we will certainly be using Alison on a regular basic.”

“Where to begin with Stacey and her family. She went above and beyond for us, after seeing other sitters over the last year, Stacey and her hubby come second to none! She looked after my Mills so well and accommodated my needs spectacularly to relieve me of stress. Kept me up to date with happenings of my dogs stay. I'm not entirely sure my dog wanted to come home! I can't thank them enough and we'll most definitely be back! Thankyou Stacey and Bert ❤️”

“I couldn’t be happier with Ela and the care she provided for my doggo. From the moment I dropped off my dog, Ela’s friendly and welcoming demeanour put me at ease. Ela went above and beyond in ensuring my pup’s comfort and happiness. What stood out was Ela’s attention to detail - she personalised my dog’s experience based on my preferences and routines, making it a stress-free stay. Beyond the excellent care, Ela is incredibly friendly and approachable- she answered all my questions and made me feel like I was leaving my dog with a trusted friend. I’m grateful for the exceptional service and will definitely book again!”


12. Rosie F.
“Rosie is a very caring and thoughtful individual who will always put your pet first and adores animals. She has had her own dog for many years and has been responsible for walking all breeds of dogs during a 6 month stay in Australia, whilst travelling. She was responsible for picking them up from their homes, walking them for a set period of time and then returning them safely. She also had a close relationship with the owners and kept in touch with them with photos of them on their walks. I would fully recommend and trust Rosie to look after your pet.”

“Bring my first boarding experience with rover I was always going to be a little bit nervous but Victoria was so kind and lovely we knew poppy would be in safe hands! We had to arrange a sitter last minute which Victoria was very accommodating about. Victoria made sure she knew all of poppy’s needs and gave her lots of cuddles and love and took her on adventures, I’m sure poppy had an absolute ball, we will definately be using Victoria again to sit ☺️”
