“What a lovely lady Petrina is, very welcoming and will fit in around any request. You know straight away she loves dogs, keeps you up to date with how your dog is whilst staying with her. Our little ruby was at home straight away and we were so happy with Ruby's stay. We would highly recommend Petrina if you were think of leaving your dog with someone as we had total piece of mind whilst away.”

“Octavia took wonderful care of Biscuit for 10 days! Many lovely updates with pics and videos of a very happy, well looked-after pup. I don’t think she wanted to come home in the end! It truly felt like Biscuit was welcomed into the family with Octavia and co, and I’m sure we’ll be trusting her to care for Biscuit again in the future. Thanks again for everything! x”


“Thank you again for having Una and Finn. They had a wonderful time, lots of photo updates, and enjoyed their farewell cuddles from Lucy's daughter. The help to get them and all their stuff to the car was greatly appreciated! Looking forward to their next visit already! X”


“Thank you for looking after Bee. She was happy, well cared for, and clearly loved spending time with you. Thank you as well for the lovely updates throughout the day they really helped put my mind at ease. I would absolutely book with you again”

“I was nervous to leave my boy with a dog sitter but I had no reason to worry at all. He has clearly had the best time being looked after by Nicky In her home. Regular updates of how he was getting on, and was great for him to make a new doggy friend too with Nicky’s own dog. I will be in touch next time he (I) need a holiday!!”

“This was our dog’s first overnight stay with Stacey, we were obviously a bit nervous, but Bobbie settled well. We had some lovely photos, video's & messages sent to reassure us throughout the day & evening. Stacey & her family were amazing with her, Bobbie looked so content & having the best time. We have already made a second booking with Stacey, because we know our dog will have a lovely time & be so well cared for. I cannot recommend Stacey highly enough. Thank you.”

“Nala was treated like a member of the family, with plenty of walks and belly rubs. Claudia kept us updated with pictures and was very understanding when we were late for collection due to heavy traffic. Will.be using again if they are free and highly recommend.”

“Ella looked after Brian for a week whilst we went on holiday. She is really friendly and kept us up to date with photos and videos which was great. Brian has returned from his stay as happy as ever. Will definitely be using again.”

“Alison was utterly perfect looking after my boy while I went on holiday. For just shy of a week she kept me updated and with loads of photos and videos of what they were up to throughout the day. I felt incredibly grateful to be able to leave my dog with someone so capable and loving. He’s a big boy with so much energy and Alison handled him so beautifully and confidently the whole time. I can’t thank you enough ♥️”


“Betty has just returned from a couple of days holiday with Barbara. She clearly had a very happy comfortable time as she ran between us and Barbara when we picked her up. Barbara is a warm kind person with a lovely home and garden just right for a dogs holiday.”

“Mark took excellent care of Elvis whilst I was away overseas for a trip. Lots of being spoilt (walks and treats and love) for Elvis and lots of pictures and info for me about how he was doing. I came back to a very chilled out dog who didn’t look remotely stressed.”


“Excellent dog sitter. Provided care and fully attention to Freddie. Lots of photos and videos to let me know what he was up to. Very much recommended, hopefully rebook again soon. Thank you Sophie.”

“Annie and her husband were amazing with Patch and made him feel at home straight away. It meant so much to me to be able to leave Patch knowing that he was going to be so well cared for.”

“Amber and Chloe were brilliant with Nala ❤️ Nala settled in with her dogs well and had the best day, she was happy and tired when we picked her up. I would recommend Amber 100% and will definitely be booking with her again when needed. Thank you both so much!”


“We couldn't have asked for a better dog sitter than Matt! He looked after our dog Nellie for a week, and from start to finish, he was absolutely fantastic. Matt was incredibly patient, kind, and understanding with Nellie, taking the time to make sure she felt comfortable, settled, and happy throughout her stay. It was clear that he genuinely cared about her wellbeing and treated her as if she were his own. One thing we especially appreciated was how regularly Matt kept us updated. He frequently sent us photos and messages, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. Seeing Nellie happy, relaxed, and enjoying herself made all the difference and allowed us to fully enjoy our trip knowing she was in such good hands. We are so grateful for the care, attention, and dedication Matt showed. Nellie had a wonderful time, and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable dog sitter. Thank you, Matt!”

“Hannah & Jordan took such wonderful care of Woody, he has had a brilliant time with multiple walks per day in different locations, swims, brushes and cozy sofa time and cuddles. We felt really bad that we couldn't bring Woody away with us and were nervous leaving him but Hannah & Jordan sent us lots of photos and messages each day. They were also flexible when we were delayed by an hour. It feels as though Woody has had a holiday and has been so well cared for! We would definitely recommend Hannah & Jordan.”

“Vanessa took wonderful care of my dog. Zoe 🐶 came home calm, happy, and clearly well looked after. I’ll definitely be using Vanessa again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.”
