1. Fern B.

“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!”


2. Jane R.

“Jane and her family made Mabel so welcome, I would certainly use her for dog care again! The farm is perfect for dogs to have an exciting break, I was grateful for some happy photos...Jane walked her once or twice a day! It felt like home from home for my puppy, Jane is calm, kind and very professional, showing interest in Mabels care and routines. A lovely first experience of Rover Thank you Jane, I hope you have us back!😊”


3. Lidia G.

“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!”


4. Steven M.

“Toby had a great stay with Steven. Steven kept me up to date with how Toby was and sent pictures and Toby really looked settled when I picked him up. Steven has a nice quiet calm way about him and I will definitely use his services again.”


5. Samantha M.

“Would definatley reccomend, will be choosing a stay with samantha again, gave us updates and kept in touch, which helped with anxiety as never left them anywhere but very kind and welcoming making sure the house was comfortable for the cats😀”


6. Caragh D.

“Hansen had obviously had a lovely day. He made new friends and had new walks to explore. Caragh’s report was full and helpful. We feel confident and very happy to leave Hansen with Caragh. Many thanks.”


7. Nicola B.

“Nicola was the perfect option for Millie, and she was treated like a member of the family. A friendlier and more homelier option than boarding kennels, she could not do any more. We now have a go to place for Millie. Brilliant”


8. Chelsea W.

“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”


9. Courtney A.

“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%”


10. James D.

“James and his lovely fiancée Grace were brilliant, so easy going and accommodating. My dog seemed to have a brilliant time! Beautiful home to stay in, with lovely surrounding countryside”


11. 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!”


12. Kamile J.

“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 :)”


13. 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.”


14. Jack M.
“Jack looked after my dog for 3 days and he had such a good time! Jack’s dog Rafa kept Sonny company and played for 3 days straight Highly recommend”


15. David H.

“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 :)”


16. Philip H.

“Our spaniel has had a great home from home holiday with Philip. With regular updates we could see how much fun she was having and that she has been well cared for. We are very happy to recommend Philip as a Sitter and will be using his help again. 😊”


17. Olivia L.
“Olivia is a caring and loving dog owner of two spaniels who loves to meet other dogs and owners whilst walking and also spend time with friends and their dogs. Calm, patient and gentle, any dog that was to be cared for or even just walked would be looked after like one of her own”


18. Amy M.

“Really helpful and lovely with Oskar. He had a great time with lots of walks”


19. Inam R.
“As a Golden Retriever owner, finding a responsible and loving caregiver is most important. Inam's patience and attentiveness ensured my dog's well being. He was reliable, knowledgeable and provided endless love and care. Knowing my dog was in such capable hands brought me peace of mind.”


20. Jenny H.

“Max had enjoyed his time staying with Jenny and would happily stay for a longer time we also regularly received pictures of Max and would definitely let Max stay with Jenny if we ever have to travel again”
