“Home away from home!! 🐾 Maggie had such a great time staying with Claire who took great care of her and sent us many many photo and text updates so we could see all the fun she way having! So many walks and fun times, and it was great for Maggie to make some new doggie friends while she was there too - shes come back from our week away a very happy dog. Claire took great care to keep her safe while in heat at short notice as well, would highly recommend. Cheers Claire and family! 🙏”

“Cannot recommend Erin enough!!!! We were left short notice with no dog sitter. Whilst in mode of a panic, I found Erin. She helpfully got my prices correct and explained a bit about herself. I bombarded her with info regarding the dogs, to which she took note of every little detail. I felt 10000% safe leaving the dogs with her. We then took our flights and she updated us for the duration of our holiday. The minute we left hers we had photos sent and updates on our dogs progress. We are forever grateful for these pictures and videos. How lovely it is to see your pet having fun in another home!!!! We will certainly use Erin again. Her and Arthur took amazing care of our babies. 🥰 thank you again 🩶💛”
About: I started Dog sitting and walking when I was 16. I studied animal management at college and volunteered at St.Giles dog and cat rescue where I cared for and walked the dogs and cats. Im currently on maternity leave so have endless spare time to keep anyone’s furry friends company and entertained either playing and long walks. I’m free on all weeks days and can be free on weekends with notice. I have a large garden that is all fenced in and a sausage dog ready to play, and live in an area which has lovely walks right on my front door step. If your furry friend has any specific needs for example dietary or exercise I’m happy to research and follow plans/instructions you may have.
“Relaxed caring young couple made a perfect temporary home for our slightly quirky, lazy Frenchie. A nearby green was ideal for his daily short walks. One partner was permanently at home with our dog and sent regular updates and photos of our beloved Frenchie. Money well spent!”
