“So happy with the care that my dog received with Lesley. Can’t thank her enough for accepting my booking at such short notice and taking such good care of my dog. Would recommend without a second thought. Thank you.”
About: I am retired and looking to share my many years of dog ownership after losing my best friend recently. Missing the walks and the hugs and those special times that only dogs can give. Nice big home set in a countryside location and no other pets/children or other distractions. Experience with border collies, senior care and nervous dogs. I have recently retired and am able to accommodate my time to the care of dogs. If I have committed to looking after your dog(s) they will receive full care and attention throughout their stay. I live in a large house with a paddock for excercise at home and access to many country walks. I have a car and am familiar with transporting dogs if allowed for days out at the beach etc. Your dog would reside in the home with me and my husband, Chris. I am also experienced with walking dogs on a long lead so they can exercise whilst remaining secure.
“We left our beloved dog Blue for the first time ever with Walter and Angela. They were brilliant from start to finish. We felt instantly reassured that Blue was in good hands. He is an older dog with particular needs and they managed them with great care and easy. We had regular updates from them too.Plus their own dog Bonnie is a very friendly gorgeous dog with a wonderful temperament. I would highly recommend them. Thank you both!”
About: For the last 5 years, my partner and I have been crazy about dogs. We’re usually the first point of call to look after the dogs in our family and friendship groups! We cannot wait to have a dog of our own but with a wedding to pay for (hence the side hustle!) we do not have the time or money for full time just yet. We have experience in looking after dogs of all ages. From minding a puppy for the evening to extended stays with a senior dog of 14 (!) years. We have a very spacious home with a large fenced garden. Your furry friend will be looked after like it was our own. Lots of walks, cuddles (but not on the sofa :D) and a few treats here and there. Living on the doorstep of Cureden Valley park gives us great access to amazing dog walks, no matter the weather! I work from home 3 days a week, but this can be flexible for longer bookings. Long weekends can work best with Friday - Tuesday the best time to book. Please get in touch if you are interested! We will have more scope to look after any dogs during the School holidays as my partner is a teacher but please get in touch about specific dates! I work from home 3 days a week. Typically these days are Monday, Tuesday & Friday. We are more than happy to look after your little, or large, friend for an extended weekend and for longer bookings this can be flexible. The day would start with a long walk either around Cureden park or other surrounding paths and fields for around 30 minutes- 1 hour. With regular toilet breaks throughout the day, we will always ensure our dog is comfortable and is staying in their home away from home. Once my partner comes home from work, we would typically then walk together for around 1 hour in the late afternoon. Again, this is whatever the weather! We are equipped with boots and waterproofs so this doesn’t bother us. At the weekend, your dog will be our main priority and a big long walk (if they are able!) will be the main event of the day. We have a very spacious home with a large fenced garden. This gives your pet the chance to explore throughout the day! We usually look after our family’s dogs, a cockapoo and a Labrador and they have lots of space to run around) We have looked after them at the same time before so would have no issue in looking after 2 dogs (3 would be a struggle!) We don’t allow dogs on the furniture but they are allowed upstairs if they want to explore. We are also happy for them to be in any room. In the evening, after a nice long walk, we love nothing more than settling down to watch some tv, maybe with a fire on, and some snuggles on the floor with your furry friend. During the night, your dog would be left in the kitchen, with any tempting food safely out of harms way!). All doors would be closed but we don’t mind if they wander upstairs and want to lie on the carpet (we find our dogs generally do). If you would prefer your dog to be kept in its crate this is absolutely fine and we will go with whatever routine has worked best for you. This is your dogs home away from home, so making them & yourself comfortable will be our number 1 priority!
“Naomi and her family were great throughout. Lots of communication and pictures. Very friendly and welcoming, making us feel at ease about leaving our dog. We will definitely be using Naomi again, Frank had a great time with you all ☺️”
“Laura and Matt took such great care of Zola during the 2 days she stayed with them. A few days before the boarding, we scheduled a meet and greet so they could get to know Zola’s daily routine and habits, and so Zola could become familiar with her surroundings. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Laura and Matt again. You can tell they genuinely love working with dogs and treat them with so much love, care, and attention. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of our girl 😊”
“Pip enjoyed is stay with Aaliyah. I loved the photos and txts sent to me that kept me informed on how PIP was getting on while in Aaliyahs pet sitter care. Pip was happy and content xx xxith all the cuddles and loved is stay as always. He looked so happy.I would certainly recommend Aaliyah as a reliable, honest and trustworthy pet sitter. Highly recommended. Pip is my old boy 14 years old but young at heart.l”
“Lovely home with a garden for your dog. Perfect , asked lots of questions about our dog and her routine. Sent pictures of her settled in the house. Good communication between us . Even when it was just for one night. Will use again for a longer period of time .”
“This is our fourth time with Fabiola. Our dog scooby absolutely loves it at her place. She also provides regular updates with photos and videos. We will recommend for others as well.”
About: I have two dogs age 7 and 5. I love my fur-babies and yours will feel part of our family when they stay with me. All my children are adults so I can concentrate on your dog and make sure they are feeling happy and loved while you are away. I love to go walking so your dog will have plenty of exercise and then plenty of cuddles at home on the sofa relaxing. I want it to feel like a home away from home. My day is already centered around my dogs, I go for daily dog walks with my husband round Worden Park which is a stones throw from our house. I'm always cuddling them and always talking to them!! Plenty of toilet breaks and playtime. I have a big garden with lots of grass and a patio area. My home has high secure locked fences. In the summer I spend lots of my free time in the garden which our dogs love.
“Dolly had a wonderful time staying with Karen, her partner, and George. It's so reassuring when leaving your fur babies in such a loving home, Dolly settled in straight away. Even when i returned to collect Dolly after 2 weeks, she was so excited to see me, but she also didn't want to leave her new home from home. I hope Dolly gets to stay again soon.”
“I cannot thank you both enough for the care you have given Eddie. I will definitely be a return customer and will certainly recommend you to friends and family. Happy Christmas to you both 🦮🌲”
“From initial booking, Medina made me feel very reassured and relaxed about leaving our dog overnight in capable and loving hands. Medina and Ted are super friendly, kind and keen to look after your pet with lots of care and affection. I was sent me lots of update pictures throughout which was really appreciated. Our Golden Retriever had an amazing time with them and came back home super chill and tired. I will 100% be happy to leave my dog with Medina and Ted again !”
“Laura and her husband Simon were nothing short of amazing! They couldn’t do enough and were very helpful and accommodating. They were welcoming and warm and have a lovely home. Daisy had the best time with them and Laura kept in touch throughout the day with lots of photo’s including Daisy enjoying a nice walk! Thank you both so much! (I actually think Daisy misses you both a little).. I’d definitely book again!”

I pride myself on being dependable, attentive to individual pet needs, and maintaining clear communication with owners.

I'm currently working part time, so I have time to help look after your furry friends inbetween work or on my days off plus I will be fully available in school holidays. Food and water: Fresh water will always be available, and food should be appropriate for the pet's species, age, and health needs. Safe living space: Pets need a clean, comfortable environment with enough room to move around and rest. Exercise and enrichment: Dogs may need walks, cats often enjoy play sessions, and small animals benefit from toys and activities that encourage natural behaviors. Also our garden is fully enclosed to keep your pets safe
“Scarlett and her partner looked after our two dogs, Teddy and Benji, while we were away on holiday, and we couldn't have been happier with the care they provided. Before our trip, we arranged a meet and greet, and Teddy and Benji felt comfortable in their home and with both of them straight away. From that moment, I knew they would be in good hands and had no worries or concerns about leaving them. Throughout our holiday, Scarlett kept us updated with plenty of photos and messages, which was so reassuring and lovely to receive. It was clear that Teddy and Benji were having a fantastic time and were being well cared for. Thank you both for taking such wonderful care of them. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend you and would happily book again in the future!”

Aaliyah and her partner are the best boarders we have ever sent our dogs too, our buddy is quirky, has a few little habits and needs to medicine, No problem whatsoever for Aaliyah, the best care was taken for Buddy and its one the best experiences we have had boarding buddy. Being the first long stay for buddy with Aaliyah, seeing how he was when he ran in. I know he made friends for life! Thank you Aaliyah and Aaron!
We left our beloved dog Blue for the first time ever with Walter and Angela. They were brilliant from start to finish. We felt instantly reassured that Blue was in good hands. He is an older dog with particular needs and they managed them with great care and easy. We had regular updates from them too.Plus their own dog Bonnie is a very friendly gorgeous dog with a wonderful temperament. I would highly recommend them. Thank you both!
Absolutely 5* Mark and Natalie went above and beyond with care for our fur baby Hamish. They got him to eat his dinner in one go instead of just grazing on it throughout the day with just adding a few extra healthy treats mixed in.. our Hamish is such a softie in nature and loves his cuddles this is why we didn’t want to use kennels, and Natalie made Hamish feel like her home was his home We were updated daily with pics and videos of Hamish on his walks with other fur babies 💗 thank you so so much, both of you. We will definitely use yous again. xxx
Theo had the best time with Jess and family. Plenty of walks and fun times swimming and playing in the garden. Jess sent lots of updates throughout the weekend which really put our mind at ease. This the first time Theo has stayed away and he’s clearly had a great time - as an energetic Springer Spaniel, he’s coming home with plenty of miles under his collar 😉. We’ll definitely be booking with Jess again. 100% would recommend to anyone.
Amy sent regular updates and photos. She was also honest about Poppy shaking when she first arrived (she often does this) Amy reassured us she had wrapped Poppy in a blanket and had snuggles on the sofa which stopped her shaking. Poppy was made to feel safe and comfortable and included in Amy’s family home. We would highly recommend Amy.
Sue was absolutely amazing with our Rosie who stayed for a fortnight. We had regular updates whilst we were away and Rosie was treated like part of the family. We came back to a happy dog and felt so reassured that Rosie was being looked after so well whilst we were on holiday. Would recommend Sue to anyone xx
Sian was incredible, so accommodating and my little jack has fallen in love with her. He came back tail wagging, better behaved and nice and sleepy. Sian kept me regularly updated the entire time to ease the stress of being away from a member of the family. Could not recommend her more, will definitely book again in future.
Chloe was great! As soon as she opened the door, I knew my dog would be in safe hands. She kept in touch with me for the full stay - keeping me updated and sending me pictures. She treated my dog as though she was her own dog - Even gave her a bath! My dog came home very tired - which is always a good sign! Our new favourite sitter and will definitely be using again if we are welcome. Thankyou so much 😊xx
