“Rachel looked after Arlo overnight this weekend. She sent plenty of pictures and clearly put lots of time into playing with him and keeping him entertained. Would 100% recommend.”


“Absolutely will recommend Steve and Lucy to anybody my dog sykes was made part of his family for duration of his stay ..photos and loads of texts throughout his stay highly recommended 💯”


“We have a 3 legged disabled Rottweiler who has vulnerabilities and can be very cautious with people she doesn’t know. We contacted Jake who went out of his way to adapt his home for her as she struggles with smooth wooden floors. We tried an overnight stay to see how she is and how he bonds with her. Jake went above and beyond to accommodate Xena. We then went on our family holiday and he sent regular updates and worked on the bond and building the trust with Xena over the 2 week period. He gained her trust to overcome her vulnerabilities and we got regular updates and photos. I would highly recommend Jake. He put our minds at ease knowing our dog was getting what she needed and was well looked after. Thanks Jake 👍”


“Rachel was absolutely fantastic! Our boy Pablo was well cared for and loved his stay with rachel Mabel and family. He spent 4 nights whilst we were away and Rachel kept me updated throughout each day with pictures and messages she really put our minds at ease about leaving him. I couldn't recommend her enough !

About: A lover of all dogs, I will look after yours like my own. I have cared for and had a dog in my life over 30 years. I realise how precious dogs are to their owners. I currently work part time, my availability is when I don’t work, so I can focus my full attention on taking care of your dogs We have a small yard, however we are 500 yards from the seafront, where we usually take the dogs down the beach or the leas or other parks in the area.

“Katie and her lovely family have just looked after our precious Pug Bella. Her stay has been exceptional! Bella had quite specific needs and Katie was able to accommodate perfectly. We were updated regularly as requested and were able to switch off and relax for our full holiday knowing Bella was in the best care. Will be booking Bella her stay next year with Katie for sure! Highly highly recommend Katie.”


“Katie looked after my dachshund Edie for the night. She’s really responsive and kept me updated which I appreciated! I would definitely recommend x”


“Queli is a lovely caring person and took great care of my two elderly toy poodles. The whole family are dog lovers and gave my dogs a lot of care and attention. She messaged me regularly with photos to show where they had been on their walks. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to take care of my dogs when I’m on holiday and I hope to book her again next year.”


“Meagan and her partner were amazing with Storm. She has had an amazing time, and has been well cared for! Meagan and her partner were both so caring and we felt confident leaving Storm in their very capable hands! The regular updates and contact were great. We will definitely be using them again for future doggy care! X”


About: I’ve always grew up around dogs and have a cockapoo of my own who is turning 6 this year. He is my pride and joy and have had him since he was a puppy. I should be available to mind your dog when my beloved boy is not in the house which is usually every other weekend. I work full time so would not be able to take your dog unless I was off work during the week. I would be available most evenings if required for dog walk or dog sit. I have a high fenced back yard. I am happy to take any bedding/ blankets belonging to the pet to make them feel more comfortable within my own home. I also allow dogs on my furniture and bed as feel they should be treated like part of the family . The dog would never be left alone within my care where I go they go and if they don’t like social settings that’s fine, walks and chills on the sofa also work for me! For every dog I consider taking I would like to meet the dog and owners to understand the dog and make sure I can meet its needs. I am also happy to send owners updates of the dog when they are under my care as I know it’s Important to know your dog is having a good time!

Matt D.
“We cannot thank Matt and Stacey enough for taking such incredible care of our precious Mia. She’s an anxious little rescue who usually takes her sweet time to trust anyone—but with Matt and Stacey, it was like she found her second home! Their patience, love, and calm energy worked absolute wonders. We came home to a relaxed, happy dog (something we didn’t think was possible!). If you’re looking for sitters who genuinely get sensitive dogs and treat them like family, we couldn’t recommend Matt and Stacey more. Total legends!”
