“It was so lovely for Boca to be a family, it was like a home from home. We had picture updates throughout the day and were able to enjoy a day out knowing he was also having a lovely time . Thank you so much.”


“Anindita was looking after Tala for me while I was at work. We met beforehand to make sure they got on, and Tala took to her straight away. When I dropped her off, she happily ran into the house, already feeling at home. It was great to know that she would have such lovely company all day, plenty of walks ad attention. Anindita was great with Tala and even sent me pictures of their day together :-) Tala will be staying with Anindita again and it's a massive relief for me to know that she's with someone who gives her such brilliant care. Thank you!!”


“Jacqui is fab! Great communication, keeping in contact throughout the day with lots of pictures & videos. Our springer had a fantastic time and its reassuring to know your pup is in great hands. We’ll definitely be using Jacqui often! :-)”



“Fantastic sitter, kept me updated throughout the day, will be booking again, very pleasant and friendly.”


About: I provide pet care with a focus on creating a safe, loving, and stress-free environment that feels just like home. With years of hands-on experience. I’m skilled at adapting to each animal's unique personality and needs. I provide regular updates, photos, and videos so you can stay connected with your pet. I know how important it is to feel close to them, even from afar. Every pet is treated as if they were my own, with genuine affection and respect for their well-being and happiness. I currently work from home so can provide constant play and toilet breaks whenever needed. I have no specific days for boarding as long as this works for me I am willing to offer boarding I have a fenced in large garden. I have a 9 year old daughter who has grown up around dogs. I no longer have any animals of my own after we lost our boarder collie suddenly last year, we have since decided to provide a safe haven for others.

“A regular here. Thanks Alison again for looking after my boys, and I'm glad that they were well-behaved with you. Alison is always sociable and friendly. She is also well-organised and a good communicator. She reports back how the day/stay went in detail, which is very helpful and reassuring. Until next time. Best wishes X”


About: Hi, I’m Freya, a lifelong dog lover with over 10 years of experience caring for my own pups, including a cockapoo and goldendoodle I raised from puppies. I recently returned to the UK after living in the USA, where I sadly had to leave my beloved goldendoodle with my ex-partner after we separated. Now back home, I’m really missing the daily joy of having a dog in my life and would love to share my love, care, and cuddles with yours. I specialise in caring for doodle breeds and hypoallergenic dogs, as I’m unfortunately allergic to most shedding breeds. I understand doodles’ unique temperaments and grooming needs, and I’m more than happy to follow your routines to ensure consistency and comfort for your dog. Your dog will be treated like family. I’m big on giving plenty of attention and play time, and I know how much it means to stay connected while you're away - so expect lots of photo and video updates! I have a car and love exploring, so your dog will enjoy weekend adventures to the moors or beach (I’ll bathe them if they get muddy!). I also regularly walk with friends and their dogs to keep things social and fun. Having been a frequent traveller myself, I know how important it is to find someone you trust. Whether it’s for a weekend or a longer stay, your pup will be in loving, experienced hands. Let’s chat, I’d love to meet you and your pup! I run my own business and work from home in a quiet village surrounded by fields and footpaths perfect for daily walks and fresh air. I live alone and love being outdoors to stay active, so having a furry companion by my side is the best motivation! Your dog would have company throughout the day, as I’m home most of the time and rarely away for long. They'll get plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship as part of my everyday routine. I have a fenced yard making quick toilet breaks very easy. I live on a country lane and one minute walk from a playing field and river, so short walks and plays are also easy in addition to longer walks.

“Susan took great care of our Beagle Ronnie while we went out for dinner. She was really friendly and welcoming, and very kindly offered to look after Ronnie beyond the agreed pick up time if we needed. I couldn’t recommend Susan enough and will definitely book her again in future!”


“Thank you Stacey and family. Riley seemed to had a really lovely time, communications with me prior to and during the stay were spot on. I would have no hesitation in booking the next visit. Many thanks.”


“Beth is fantastic with our Golden Retriever. We’re very confident she’s in safe hands and it’s great to have updates during the day. Thanks again Beth!”


About: I have always had dogs since I was 5 years old . I have looked after dogs of all sizes . Currently I have a 16 week labradoodle and 3 cats . Currently I’m not working so I have plenty of time to fit in any walks or visits . I’m looking for flexible work to fit around my home life with my 2 teenage daughters . I have an enclosed garden and a 16 week old labradoodle who would love friends to play with . I can crate if necessary. I’m usually around to keep the animals company and to play .

About: Hi there! I'm a full-time remote worker with a flexible schedule, which means your pup will get plenty of attention, walks, and toilet breaks throughout the day. I share my home with a sweet 11-year-old Border Terrier, who's gentle, friendly, and used to being around other dogs. Whether your pup is playful or prefers a slower pace, I am happy to match their vibe. I treat all pets like family and aim to make them feel safe, relaxed, and loved while you're away. Looking forward to meeting your furry friend! I work from home so I am very flexible with walks and toilet breaks! I can be here to keep your dog company all day long. I have a fenced garden so there is plenty of space for your dog! We live near the coast and can take your dog for a lovely beach walk! They will also have lots of company from our furry doggy Betty too.


“5 stars! Bridget and Nick along with their adorable pup Presley made Stanley's stay a great one. Stanley was immediately comfortable with them and their beautiful home, and the enclosed yard is a major bonus! I enjoyed the text updates and pictures they sent to me, but mostly the level of comfort I have leaving my precious buddy in someone else's care!”


“Bramble went in with her tail wagging and came out looking happy and exhausted, ready to go home. She is a high energy dog and appears to have loved spending the day playing with Mia's dog and having an awesome walk with her new friend. Mia sent lots of photos throughout the day and chatted to me lots prior to the day as I was anxious about leaving Bramble, but she did a great job putting my worries to rest. Overall a great experience for Bramble and we were able to leave her with the peace of mind that we knew she was safe and having fun. Will definitely leave her with Mia again if we are in the area and need a sitter :)”


About: I grew up in a house full of dogs with my nan offering a doggy day care and short stay pet sitting. Have owned a mixture of dogs ranging from jack russels to a leonburger. Have worked with toy and working dogs. Worked on a farm working with collie puppies from birth to sale so experienced with all ages of dogs. And recently assisted the birth and early care of a Dachshund litter. I am caring and patient with a huge passion for animals, currently studying Equine Science. Currently have an open schedule and can work around owners needs. I have my own transport and am able to look after other pets inc, snakes, small animals and horses. Have previous experience owning and or working with all the animals above. :) I am currently a stay at home mam, along side completing my degree. I am able to be very flexible with timings to suit your needs. I currently only have my male dog living with me as me and my partner live separately. He is very friendly with all dogs and children. My Nan still offers doggy day care and regularly has my dog for me if I’m away. Therefore if your dog is unsure of other dogs I can also facilitate their needs.
“My puppy has just had 7 days with Tanya. He has been eager to go every morning. He has been well cared for in a happy and friendly home environment. We are very pleased with his care. Thank you Tanya. We would definitely use Tanya's services again and recommend her to others.”


“Nova had a fabulous day with James, especially the other dogs that he was also looking after. He kept us well informed and sent photo up dates of how/what they were doing during the day. She was a bit sad when she had to go!! James was easy to liaise with and us being a little late back was no problem for him. We will definitely use his services again.”


“I left my 5month old puppy Louie with Frances to attend a family funeral. She took excellent care of Louie and communication before the booking and throughout the booking was great! He was a very happy puppy spending time with Frances, and she provided the best care for him during the heatwave. She even had a toy for him waiting and he seemed to prefer it from his toys! That was such a nice touch to know that my puppy was in good hands. She was also very respectful of our puppy rule: our puppy is a dachshund breed and is forbidden to go up/down the stairs and has to be picked up in a certain way. Frances was happy to accommodate our needs. I will definitely make another book with her in the future!”


“Can't thank Chris enough for looking after my boys! She was so kind and really flexible to help me out. My dogs loved her! Will definitely be in contact again :)”

Freya B.
“I've had the pleasure of knowing Freya for several years, and I can confidently say she would make an exceptional dog sitter.

She goes above and beyond to ensure their routines are followed, their needs are met and they enjoy plenty of enriching walks and company.

Anyone lucky enough to have Freya care for their dog will see the same warmth, responsibility and reliability that I’ve always seen in her.”

Dominic B.
“Super sitter! Both my dogs have ‘high needs’ due to daily medications and joint issues. I felt completely relaxed about Dom caring for my two, he pays attention to details, is reliable with instructions, and excellent at communicating and with updates. I’m short, he is able to give them the five star care they need in their home and I have nothing to worry about. My spaniel can be very anxious but Dom provided an open and unpressurised space for her so as to meet her needs, and as a result they have an excellent bond!”
