“Joshuah took great care of Kobbie! He was very welcoming and handled Kobbie’s high energy well. He took him out for a walk even when the weather was rubbish and sent updates/pics throughout the weekend. Would definitely recommend :)”
“Rebecca was fantastic and bruno really enjoyed his stay with her family and making friends with her dog Douglas. Rebecca kept myself and my partner updated during bruno's stay with plenty of pictures and messages to re assure us he was safe and loving his life. Bruno will definitely be returning ☺️”
About: I have taken care of my own dogs since was able to walk, I take my own dogs into daily and always love the company. Walking is my safe space and dogs are too which is why this job is so well fitted for me I look after my own dogs daily so it’s routine for me. Normally I go to gym early then walk the dogs before lunch and at tea time. I leave close to the sea so a beach trip is manditory! I have a fenced garden with one friendly cocker spaniel at home, she loves running and especially the. beach and playing on a field, I’m always happy to bring her along with me!
About: I love my dogs and treat them like family I am at home all week and have lots of spare time for walks. I have a large back secluded and secure garden that is ideal for pet care. Plenty of time as I do not work and a have a large house and secure garden. My husband often works from home to support any walks and exercise. I have a large secure back garden for running and playing you are welcome to visit in advance to see and make you feel comfortable.
“We had such a great experience leaving Vader with them and honestly couldn’t have asked for better care From the start they were friendly, polite, and really easy to communicate with, which made the whole process feel stress-free. While we were away, they kept us updated with regular photos and videos, which we really appreciated, and it was so reassuring to see how happy and settled he was. It was obvious Vader was completely comfortable and having the best time (I genuinely think he would’ve happily stayed longer!!) They really embraced his personality as well, even his obsession with bringing his collection of sticks in the house lol, which made it feel like he was properly understood and cared for, not just “looked after.” When we picked him up he was absolutely exhausted, which says everything; clearly lots of walks, playtime, and attention. We wont hesitate to book with them again and would 100% recommend them to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and genuinely great with dogs”
“Great communication with Rachel throughout Bobby’s stay, and from the evidence of the photographic updates we received during his stay he clearly enjoyed the 5 star holiday treatment 🐶”
“Emily is a lovely person who looked after my precious Westie recently . She provided me with lots of updates which is important to me and photos of Koura enjoying herself on walks on the beach as well as looking very chilled and comfy in Emily’s home . I would highly recommend Emily and will use her again when I’m in the area .”
“Really helpful as we booked on very short notice to due to needing to away for family reasons. Good contact throughout with regular updates and videos, easy pick up and drop off and very accommodating, even extended the stay by a night again at short notice as we were delayed getting back. Thank you”
“Jessica is incredibly friendly, approachable and accommodating. She loves and cares for your dogs as if they’re her own, and the photo updates are fantastic! I wouldn’t hesitate to book Jessica again for the peace of mind that my dogs are in a loving home. Thank you!”
“Louise and Dean looked after my dog Tukka so well, and took her on such great walks that she didn't want to leave! Tukka stayed overnight and enjoyed cuddles on the sofa and snuggling up in bed. It is obvious that Louise and Dean absolutely love dogs - and with Tukka the feeling was definitely mutual. I wouldn't hesitate to book with Louise again or recommend her to others.”
“Great updates throughout the day. Some lovely pics. Our pup loved being there he had some great walks. Followed all the directions left, and he came back home happy as Larry! Will definitely book again”
“Julie catered to our dog Coopers every need. He’s a bit of a stubborn old dog, that require some special attention. We had regular updates on the days activities and Coops seemed to be very comfortable and relaxed on his holiday. Can’t recommend Julie highly enough and I’m sure Cooper will be excited to go back for more walks and cuddles”
About: I am 43 years old and have had dogs all my life. 2025 i did a variety of House and Pet sitting around the country, with dogs of all sizes. I work from home so am around all day and can do up to 3 walks per day. I live near the coast so can provide great walks both long and short. My dog is active and loves making friends.DBS checked due to my job and happy to provide i work from home full time. I can adapt to whatever your dog needs in terms of attention, walks and toilet breaks. I take my dog Winnie out first thing in the morning around 8.30, again at lunchtime and after work at 5. i have shared custody of an 8 and 11 year old who are both confident around dogs and have enjoyed a number of dog sits with me. i have a fenced garden and can keep your dog close to me when i work in my office. my female dog Winnie is active and friendly, she loves to play but chills in the house. I can crate your dog if you provide and will implement rules but I’m happy to have dogs on furniture and beds.
“I couldn't of asked for more from Anna, she looked after my dog Scrappy like he was her own. I left Scrappy with Anna for 4 days (3 nights) when we went away for a long weekend. After losing her own dog, and how upsetting it was for her she decided to start looking after other peoples dogs. Anna and her family were brilliant with my dog, long walks and lots of playing with him. Scrappy spent lots of time playing with her kids aswell, and trying to steal their food (he's just greedy boy). I recieved updates and photos daily. When I came to pick him up on the Sunday night, he didn't want to leave Anna's. I recieved one happy Jack Russell back. I will definatley be leaving Scrappy with Anna the next time we go away.”
“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.”
“Lauren was very accommodating especially with my loose timeframes which was very helpful and very much appreciated! Ralphy had a good stay and got to interact with another dog which definitely helped his own anxiety of being left! Lauren helped my own anxiety by sending updates over text and was super nice throughout! Would hugely recommend to everyone 😁”
“Maeve looked after our two dogs ,Jock and Teddy for 3 days and they had a blast They were so well cared for , walked , played with and cuddled, we are so grateful. Would recommend without hesitation and will definitely rebook with Maeve Thank you”
“This was Ollie’s second (and longest) stay with Csilla. Ollie is an anxious rescue dog and was immediately comfortable with Csilla. I was so grateful for the photos and updates, and how much Csilla fell in love with him. On pick up the feeling was obviously mutual and he would have been quite happy to stay! I highly recommend Csilla as a boarder and will definitely be booking again.”

Booking with Elise was simple. Prior to the boarding Elise popped round to our home with her dog to ensure everyone was happy. Dropping of Lucy who is still a pup was easy and not as stressful as what we thought thanks to Elise. With Lucy still bring a pup and not understanding Elise's home was not a toilet there were some teething problems with toileting but Elise took this in her stride and dealt with it. We were given frequent updates and pictures of Lucy enjoying herself with Roxy. What is clear is Elise has has true passion for caring for dogs and from Lucy's reaction in saying goodbye to Elise when the boarding ended it was also obviously apparent that Elise looked after Lucy well. Lucy gave Elise about 100 kisses before leaving. If Elise was not a caring pet sitter Lucy would not have shown the affection towards Elise she did. Highly recommended even if Lucy does get barred..... Thank you Elise.
Rachel did a wonderful job looking after Leia for a few hours while I had a meeting. She was warm and friendly and I can tell Leia had a great time! Rachel even washed out Leia’s food bowl, and didn’t complain when I was late picking Leia up (sorry again!) Thank you so much!
Collette was amazing, updated me on everything during the booking, took amazing care of my puppy on an overnight stay and was so lovely in the lead up, during the stay and drop off. Great communication, excellent care, her doggie Reggie was my little pups bestie by the end and is a sweet gentle angel, and I would recommend Colette to anyone who wants peace of mind when leaving their precious fur babies with a sitter.
What can I say from first meeting Victoria I knew milo was in good care and going to be well looked after. We had regular updates , and Milo really enjoyed his stay, I will definitely be going back to Victoria she's a absolute Angel after we had to book Milo in at very short notice.,I would highly recommend Victoria to anyone wanting a dog sitting service. Thankyou Pauline Jimmy Sarah ❤️
Louise and Dean looked after my dog Tukka so well, and took her on such great walks that she didn't want to leave! Tukka stayed overnight and enjoyed cuddles on the sofa and snuggling up in bed. It is obvious that Louise and Dean absolutely love dogs - and with Tukka the feeling was definitely mutual. I wouldn't hesitate to book with Louise again or recommend her to others.
Our baby has just came back from a week stay with Haylie and had the most amazing time! It was our first time being away from him and we felt so at ease with Haylie, we did a meet and greet before he went to stay with her which we felt very comfortable about and the whole stay she kept me updated with daily photos and what he had been up to. Gordon is still a puppy and still a little bit naughty but Haylie understood his quirks and he was well looked after. Highly recommend Haylie to anyone and will definitely use her again! 😊
