“Fern & Hope we're incredible dog sitters for my dog. My dog is like my baby so I was quite anxious about leaving her but they were so kind and accommodating. I had daily updates and I knew Lola was being so well looked after. They made it so much easier to leave her and it meant I could actually relax on holiday. I'd have bo doubt at all leaving Lola with Fern again and would highly recommend her!”
“Just amazing… Archie felt right at home as soon as he met Lidia & her husband. To be able to leave your fur baby for a period of time in a place that your dog feels is “home away from home” is fantastic. Thanks so much for looking after Archie. He’s looking forward to his next visit soon!”

We met before the stay to make sure Sam would be settle and so that Jane knew about all Sam’s little quirks ☺️ He enjoyed lots of attention and lovely walks! I would definitely recommend Jane and I know Sam will be back there for another stay soon!”
“From the moment Hector met Nicola we knew he would be in safe hands. He can be a bit of nervous dog until he gets to know a person and she immediately made him feel at home getting down to his level. According to Nicola they had a nice four days together and he loved his swims in the nearby beck and he was very chilled throughout. Looking forward to his next stay. Thank you so much Nicola.”
“I was looking for a sitter to watch our little Banksy whilst we went on holiday. I am so so pleased with how well he has been looked after, i received constant updates and pictures of our pooch and i knew he was in safe hands. The whole process from start to finish was amazing and went so smoothly. Chelsea and Andy are fantastic dog sitters and if your pup likes other dogs then this is a little holiday for them aswell. 10/10 review, will be using chelsea and Andy again every single time we go away. Couldn’t have asked for a more amazing family to give Banksy the best week ❤️ From Scarlett and Tom”

About: I grew up with dogs, and horses. As a family we've had 2 Springers, our first lived to be 14, our current dog is 5, and is a typical springer. We love getting out for walks. Our dog is used to us looking after other dogs for family and friends and we've never had an issue with her. I work part time for 6 hrs a day. Dogs are walked in the morning and after work but would be left whilst I am at work. We have a large yard with a high wall that the dogs have access to whilst we are at home. Dogs are allowed on the furniture and can sleep on the bed
“Kamile had my little Ralph for 4 nights and 5days and he seemed to be so happy there and quickly settled in! She did an amazing job and kept me updated throughout, I will definitely use Kamile again :)”
About: I grew up with dogs as a child, and did dog walking as a teenager, however as an adult - I have had 8 years worth of experience caring for them. I currently have 3 amazing dogs who I couldn’t physically love any more than I already do. I have experience in medical care as well as looking after rambunctious puppies. I work in a primary school Mon-Fri, so I can walk your beloveds after I finish and board at weekends and during school holidays too. I have an enclosed back garden; secured by 6 foot fences around the perimeter. I will keep your dog on a lead at all times, unless given permission only when privately hiring a fully secure dog field.
“Bella had a great time. Not sure she wanted to come home afterwards! Lots of walks, swims and photos. Lived here best life. Courtney and Ed were brilliant. Definitely recommend 100%”
About: I’m a passionate dog lover with 2 years of hands-on pet care experience! My friend is a veterinarian who has taught me many useful tips for keeping pets healthy and happy. I know basic training, leash walking, and good outdoor habits. I’ve cared for three wonderful dogs: a 6-year-old Shepherd who visits me every two months for a week, a sweet Teddy who stayed with me for two weeks, and a playful 2-month-old puppy who I’ve showered with love and patience. Every dog I meet becomes my friend—I care for them as if they were my own! I currently have a very flexible schedule since I’m not working full-time, which means I have plenty of time and energy to devote to caring for your pets. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or cuddles, I’ll be there whenever your furry friend needs me. Your pet’s safety and happiness come first. I carefully follow all instructions from pet parents and provide personalized care based on your pet’s unique needs. Whether in my home or yours, I create a safe, clean, and loving environment where pets feel comfortable and loved.

“My dog Jack had such a good time with David and Cocktail the sausage dog. He was really looked after with lots of updates. David is a natural dog whisperer and knew how to work with Jack's natural anxiousness while providing lots of play time and good walks. Would 100% recommend David again to anyone and would definitely book Jack in again for future visits :)”

Diana E.
“5 stars and more - I can’t recommend Diana enough! We were lucky enough to have her look after our Italian Greyhound Luna while we went away for a few days. We were very nervous about leaving Luna as it was the first time she’d been away from us over night but from the moment we found out Diana could have her to stay it was as though a great weight had lifted! A dog owner herself, Diana truly loves and understands dogs. She is trustworthy & reliable and went above and beyond to make sure that Luna felt at home during her stay. We had peace of mind on holiday and wouldn’t hesitate to ask Diana again and I’m sure that Luna would say she loved every minute and had a great time too.”

Sarah B.
“I have Sarah looking after my two dogs and guinea pig very often! She is great! She helps walk the girls and make sure they both go to the toilet before heading back indoors, spends some time playing with them and updates me with photos throughout her time with them! I would highly recommend Sarah to help care for your animals, one of my dogs are very anxious (rescue dog) and she is so patient, understanding and loving towards her! They get so excited to see her it’s a great bond they have!”
