“Dobby love staying with Elizabeth, and it’s great to have her around the corner for the future! Very communicative, great updates, and trust that Dobby is very cared for :)”
“Leanne was amazing! She got us booked in on short notice, her communication was great and she was really helpful throughout. I can tell that Spudley had a lovely time and felt really comfortable with her and her partner. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter!”
“Becky looked after our puppy at her house for the afternoon. Second time looking after him. He came home very happy and clearly had a great time. Brilliant care and communication again.”
“Aleksandra was brilliant, her communication from start to finish was great. We had lots of photo updates and general updates from her overnight stay. Thanks so much again”
“I was apprehensive about leaving my nervous chihuahua/cross with anyone for 24 hours but Synolda was perfect for him. She is so relaxed and has a natural empathy with dogs which my dog responded to immediately (this is very unusual!). It also helped that there were two other small dogs there to help him settle in and to play with in the Bark Park :) Synolda sent me regular updates and made the experience so much less stressful for us so we were able to enjoy our family event. I highly recommend Synolda and would take my dog to her again without hesitation.”
“Dougal had a fabulous weekend with Gabby and Ash. They were extra careful with him in the hot weather and kept us updated with photos and updates so we felt really confident that he was safe, looked after and having a good time!”
“Josh was brilliant with our dog Parsley. Really great communication, he took on board everything we said and was attentive to Parsleys needs. Lots of good walks and parsley was clearly settled and happy relaxing at Josh's place too. We have already booked again.”
“I always feel very confident when I book boarding with Nina. My dog always comes home relaxed and well exercised, and we receive plenty of updates while we're away too. I can't fault Nina - she clearly takes great care of dogs that stay with her, and they feel really comfortable around her. Would definitely recommend, and of course will book again! :)”
About: Have a scroll through my photo album to meet all of the happy boys & girls here at Dollhouse from play time in the large, super secure garden (as seen in the photos), to walkies in the park, and tired cuddles on the sofa, the dogs in my care will be loved like they are my own! It is important to me that as pet owers you feel completely relaxed and know your dog is being taken great care of while you are away. Your dog will be treated as part of the family and made to feel as comfortable and happy as possible on their little holiday! 🐶 I have had many dogs of my own throughout my whole life and taken care of the dogs of friends and family for many years. I am now in a position to offer my services to other people full time. I work from home full time so will always be here with your dog. They will get regular walks in the local parks, and I have a nice big secure garden for them to play in too. Being with me will feel like a home from home for your dog, they will be loved and cared for as I do for my own. I work from home full time, the dogs will be able to roam the ground floor of my home and the nice big secure garden that we have here, and keep me company in my home office! At lunch time your dog will get a long walk. Additional walks per day depending on how long your dog is here. I have a lovely big secure garden for your dog to play in. My whole home is secure due to having a dog of my own. I have a room for the dogs to be crated in if that is your preference while I am out or during the night. I can be flexible to accommodate your preferences and your dogs needs.
“Amy was incredible, very communicative and great with my Dog Barry. Got sent photos and videos throughout the day and there were some difficult logistical bits to sort out which she handled wonderfully. I’ll definitely be using her again and couldn’t recommend her highly enough! 10 out of 10!”
“Kara was an excellent sitter! Great communication, plenty updates, smooth drop off and pick up. Nova had definitely had a great time with her and was looking very happy when we collected her. Would recommend!”
“Kate and her family were absolutely wonderful with Poppy! Since Kate works from home, Poppy had constant company, and she loved being spoiled by Kate's partner and teenage kids. Her large garden was perfect for relaxing. Communication was excellent throughout the stay—highly recommend Kate for anyone looking for a loving home environment!”
“Zia had an awesome 3-day stay with Tom and his partner! They were both so friendly and easy-going, and it was obvious from the start that they really love dogs. I got loads of photos and regular updates, which was brilliant and made me feel completely at ease. Zia looked so happy the whole time and came back relaxed, content, and clearly very well looked after. A huge thank you to both of them for taking such great care of our old lady. We wouldn't hesitate to book them again and would recommend you to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter!”
About: I've been around animals for as long as I can remember and have had a variety of pets since I was a young child. I have experience dog sitting for dogs of all breeds, ages, sizes and personalities, so I'm confident adapting my care to each dog's individual needs. I understand that every dog is different, and I'm always happy to go the extra mile to make sure your pup feels safe, comfortable and loved while they're with me. Growing up, I had a Lurcher, an English Bull Terrier, and a Staffordshire Bull Terrier, which gave me experience with very different temperaments and energy levels. Since then, I've regularly looked after many other breeds and have become comfortable caring for dogs with a wide range of personalities, routines, and requirements. I'm patient, understanding and affectionate. I'm confident handling different temperaments. Whether your dog loves long walks, lots of playtime, or simply wants someone calm to keep them company, I'll make sure they receive the care and attention they deserve. I am currently not working after taking a career break, which means my schedule is very flexible. I'm able to work around your needs. I'm happy to care for your dog in your home, especially for larger breeds, as I live in a one-bedroom flat. Caring for your dog in their familiar environment can also help them feel more relaxed and comfortable while you're away. Your dog's safety, wellbeing, and routine will always be my top priorities. I'll take the time to understand their individual needs, including feeding schedules, exercise, medication (if required), favourite walking routes, and any behavioural quirks or preferences. I always follow your instructions carefully to ensure your dog feels safe, happy, and cared for. I'm also happy to discuss your dog's specific needs beforehand so we can make sure they're receiving the best possible care while you're away.

About: Most of my experience looking after mine and my friends fur babies have been with mainly cats and dogs, but I have always had pets through my life, be that dogs, cats, rats, hamsters, birds, snakes, even the odd frog! My friends tend to go straight to me first when needing their little ones looked after as they know I very much enjoy it and they can trust me. They’re a huge part of our families and it would be my honour to get to know and take care of yours, if you so choose 🥰 Also happy to take on pets that need that little extra time and patients 🧡 I work from home with no set rota, so I’m very flexible and open to working out a set basis, or changeable care if you would like. I am happy to walk or take public transport to your property. Happy for meet and greets before we go ahead to make sure they're comfortable with me! If you're happy for me to be in your property I am more than comfortable to do so, so your little ones are in their safe place.
About: I’ve had cats since I was young, I’ve had experience with farm cats that like to be wild and free to domestic house cats who just want to cuddle on your lap. I think cats are such interesting animals all being so different and as a sitter it’s important for me to understand that each cats care is different, when discussing your pets needs I can come up with a plan on how best to treat your animal so they’re comfortable with me!
About: Hi, I'm a 25 year old currently studying Veterinary medicine. Dogs have always been an integral part of my life. We have had dogs in our family since I was 7 and there are few things I enjoy more than getting to spend time with them! I have two years of experience as a volunteer dog walker and socialiser for the RSPCA. So I am well used to caring for a range of breeds and catering for dogs with various needs and requirements. Additionally, I've frequently looked after dogs belonging to neighbours & family friends. During my time at university I have continued to regularly take care of dogs, including weekly house sitting and walking. References available on request. I'm currently taking a year out to apply for Veterinary medicine, I am likely to be working part time, but beyond that my schedule will be very flexible. While dog sitting I will make sure your dogs receive plenty of companionship and attention. I will ensure they are kept mentally stimulated and entertained, through playing with toys and/or any other enrichment activities. I really enjoy dog walking, so would be more than happy to take your dog on regular walks around where you live or to any nearby parks.

About: Hi! I’m an experienced and caring dog lover with over six years of hands-on experience looking after pups of all ages—from playful two-month-old puppies to sweet senior dogs over ten. I’ve cared for many breeds, both big and small, including Border Collies, Golden Retrievers, Dachshunds, Westies, Bichons, Fox Terriers, and Shibas. Each dog has their own personality, and I always take time to understand their needs, routines, and quirks. I believe walks should be fun and engaging, not just the same old route every day. That’s why, whenever I have time, I love taking dogs on mini adventures—hiking in Red Deer Park, exploring Snuff Mills, playing in the river, or spotting deer and flowers in Clifton. Their happiness is my biggest reward, and I love seeing them explore the world with joy and curiosity. I’m incredibly patient, calm, and gentle, and I treat every dog like my own. I currently live in a spacious, pet-friendly 1b1b apartment with plenty of room for dogs to relax, even larger breeds. Whether your pup loves cuddles, quiet time, or outdoor fun, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and at home. I'm currently a PhD student, but I work from home most of the time, so my schedule is quite flexible. That means I can spend plenty of time with your pets throughout the day I live in a pet-friendly 1b1b apartment that’s clean, spacious, and comfortable—even for large dogs. It’s a quiet environment, which is great for pets who are sensitive or prefer calm spaces. I keep the floors clean and disinfect regularly. If I’m hosting a cat, there’s a 2.2-meter-tall cat tree at home that’s always a favorite. I follow each pet’s usual feeding habits and routines carefully, so they can feel safe, relaxed, and loved during their stay.
“Amanda did a great job with Maple. Communication was quick and smooth and she sent lots of photos. Maple was very happy to see her again and she came home a very happy pup! Would recommend and contact again”
“Brilliant sitter. Super friendly and professional. She was very happy to come and meet me ahead of time - and got to know Gertie (Spaniel). Could instantly tell she had a lovely rapport with Gertie and I wouldn’t hesitate about booking again.”

I’m experienced in a variety of services, including: • Specialised Pet Sitting: I'm comfortable caring for all types of pets—from dogs and cats to exotics—and am skilled in looking after senior pets and administering medications. • Canine Expertise: I offer professional dog walking and training, using gentle and effective positive reinforcement techniques. • Behavioural and Nutritional Support: With my scientific background, I provide professional advice and compassionate care tailored to pets with unique needs.

I'm excited to be part of the Bristol pet community! I currently have a very flexible schedule and wide availability throughout the week. I’m ready to provide your pet with the best possible care, offering them plenty of attention and comfort whenever they need it. I provide care both in the owner's home and in my own home, depending on what works best for you and your pet. Whether they’re staying in their familiar environment or coming to mine, my top priority is always their safety, comfort, and well-being. Before we start, we'll have a meet & greet to go over their specific routines, from feeding to medication, and I'll follow your instructions to the letter. You can expect regular photo and video updates, so you'll always know your pet is doing great and feeling loved. When staying at your home, I’ll always treat it with the utmost respect and ensure everything remains safe and sound.
About: I have over 5 years of experience caring for dogs and a lifelong love for them. Growing up, my family and I adopted a small, mixed-breed dog from the streets, and he became a cherished part of our home until he sadly passed away. Dogs bring so much joy to my life, and I’m passionate about spending time with them, ensuring they feel loved, safe, and happy. Currently, I work full-time as an Account Specialist. On weekdays, I’m available to care for dogs and cats after 4:30 PM. On weekends, I’m available throughout the day and can provide care at any hour to suit your pet’s needs. I provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for pets in my care. My home features a pet-friendly balcony for fresh air and playtime, ensuring they have space to relax. Since I don’t have any pets in my flat, your furry friend will have my full attention, making it a calm and stress-free experience for them.
“Jackie is brilliant and couldn’t rate her highly enough. Poppy had three walks during her day and also had the benefit of Jackie’s lap for all of the morning while she was working, which is above and beyond. I saw Jackie walk with her v briefly while coming to my car and Poppy was looking up at her with the sort of adoration she usually saves for family ❤️ Poppy has some separation anxiety and doesn’t always eat or poop when with sitters but not a problem with Jackie. Communication was excellent and from point of drop off to collection I couldn’t have been more reassured. I only met Wally the schnauzer fleetingly but he seemed an absolute sweetheart too. I can highly recommend Jackie to anyone seeking dogcare in central Bristol and will definitely be looking to book with her again. Thank you, Jackie - was an absolute pleasure!”
“Daniel did an amazing job looking after Maple. He was very responsive and was able to help last minute. Communication was great and he sent lots of photos of a very happy and relaxed Maple. He took Maple out for a nice walk and made sure to know everything she needed beforehand. Would definitely recommend and contact again.”
About: As an animal lover at heart, I’ve had quite some experience with all kinds of animals. I grew up with a special needs parrot and a dog, so I have a lot of love and care for senior and special needs animals. Any medication they need to take? 🐈⬛ Done! They prefer to sleep on the bed beside their human? 🐈 Absolutely! Please note that I have a strict no property damage policy. If your pet does have an accident, I will have to transfer them to another sitter. Thank you :) I’m currently working from home and have plenty of time and space to make sure your pets are happy and well cared for. I’ll adjust my schedule for any special needs they may have!

About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up in a household where my parents had up to 11 dogs at one time, breeding a variety of different breeds, so caring for dogs has always been a big part of my life! Me and my partner now care for dogs regularly through Rover as well as for family and friends, and we’re loving it! - We live in a spacious two-bedroom, two-bathroom flat in Montpelier, Bristol. The flat is on the second floor with both lift and stair access, and there is a secure, locked communal courtyard with cover on the ground floor. - When looking after pets, I make sure owners are kept reassured with regular photo updates, provide enjoyable walks tailored to each dog, and give them plenty of affection, attention, and care throughout their stay! I’m very mindful of sticking to each dog’s usual routine, including feeding schedules, walking preferences, and any specific instructions you provide. - Outside of dog sitting, I work Monday to Friday as a financial planning assistant, with a flexible schedule and the ability to work from home for most of the week. I’m currently studying towards my diploma in financial planning, so I spend a lot of time at home. My partner also works full‑time as an equity analyst and works from home most of the time, meaning dogs are rarely left alone and always have company and supervision. - Should you book doggy day care or boarding during the week, I’ll ensure that both my partner and I are working from home on those days, so your dog will always have company and supervision. - Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. For weekday doggy day care or boarding, I make sure that me and my partner are both working from home on those days so pets have constant company and a consistent routine. Weekends are also very flexible, allowing lots of quality time, walks and one to one care. I take time to understand each dog’s routine, preferences, and any specific instructions from their owner, and I make sure these are followed closely so pets feel relaxed and settled. - I will be with your pet throughout the day. Thanks to flexible working arrangements and working from home, dogs are rarely left alone and always have company. I ensure a calm, safe environment, regular breaks outdoors, and exercise tailored to each dog’s age, ability, and energy level.

“Amanda was fab! She came & met us before the day she was going to walk Mischief & asked all the right questions. She took excellent care of her on a super warm day, I felt Tiny Dog was in safe hands. Thank you!”
About: I've grown up with multiple family pets including dogs, hamsters, fish and guinea pigs and now own a gorgeous kitten. I'm very used to reactive/nervous dogs (I'm close with two) and have had lots of experience with elderly dogs, puppy training, multiple cat homes and kittens. I'm the go-to pet sitter for several people and would love to help out some more fur-riends! I'm currently working part-time so I'm around most of the week for pet playtime and care. I live in a top floor flat with no garden so won't be able to host, but am readily available for lots of drop-ins and walks, and house sitting if required. During a drop-in, walk or stay, pets can expect lots of attention and warm interaction. One of my favourite things is winning a furry friend over with treats and learning what their favourite toys are.

About: I’ve always loved dogs and all other animals. I have experience taking care of my partner’s family dogs for the past 3 and a half years. One of them was a senior jack russell terrier who was 17 years old, and recently a 10 week old bull terrier puppy. I’m currently pursuing a Master’s by Research degree at the University of Bristol. Because it is not a taught program, my schedule is very flexible and I am able to commit to almost any time in terms of availability. We can always work out what is best for you and your cats as aside from a meeting on Friday afternoons, I will be available anytime to meet your needs. I will try my best to abide by the things you have in your home. Unfortunately, I do not currently have a litter box or any cat-related things in my flat in Bristol so it would be difficult for me to have your cat over unless you are willing to bring over some of your things. In terms of your own home, I will do my best to be respectful and clean up after myself and the cats as much as possible. We can work out how you want things to be done and what you are most comfortable with ❤️ I have just recently taken care of a cat in an airbnb while visiting Dublin and it was a really smooth experience due to great communication from the cat’s owner.
“Rafaela took my poodle Otis for near daily walks during a particularly busy fortnight. She was punctual and communicated well. Otis had a good walk and was always happy and tired on his return. She took lovely photos during their walks which was great to see. Would recommend. Many thanks!”
About: I've never known life without a dog- I've grown up around them since birth. I love all dogs, big or small, but I have particular experience with big breeds and rescue dogs, having owned them myself (including my Scottish Deerhound) and grown up training and caring for them. I've spent years dog walking for neighbours, family and friends, and regularly help my mum, who's a professional dog walker, with her round. I've also done local dog sitting back home in Suffolk. Having moved to Bristol, I'm excited to bring that experience and genuine love of dogs to new clients here. I’m currently taking a break from employment so have all the time in world! Whenever you need a sitter or walker, I can be available. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll follow your care instructions carefully, including feeding, walks, medication (if needed), and maintaining their usual routine. I’ll keep your home clean and secure, provide plenty of attention, playtime, and affection, and send regular photo and message updates so you can relax knowing your pet is in caring, reliable hands.
About: Hii my name is Yuting you can also call me Tess. I just finished my study at UoB and am working at Bristol city center. I have a beautiful white cat called Mushroom back home. She’s an adult cat that we’ve been blessed for seven years of her lovely company. I love cats for their mysterious little habits, silly moves and most of all, their trust and devotion to their human companion. I love to be silly with them and enjoy their little purrs!
“Amber is great - I would recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker. As an anxious dog he has various things that make him nervous and we do training to work with him on this. We did a meet and greet beforehand where she took care to learn about my dog’s personality and training routine. While I’m stuck at work, it’s lovely to see the photos of Bobby having fun on his walk 🐶”
About: Welcome to my page! I'm Jess, a passionate animal lover who truly believes that caring for pets is its own special kind of therapy. I pour unconditional love and dedicated attention into every animal I look after, treating them exactly as I would my own beloved companions. Your Trusted House Sitter for Happy Pets at Home As I don't currently have my own home or pets, I'm delighted to offer my services as a dedicated house sitter. This means your lovely furbabies can stay happy and relaxed in their familiar surroundings, avoiding the stress of boarding. I'm excited to provide all the cuddles, play, and personalised care your pets need while you're away. My background is rich with diverse animal care experience: Veterinary Expertise: I bring three years of experience as an assistant in a specialist veterinary hospital, working with a wide range of patients including those undergoing orthopaedic, neurological, ophthalmological, and cancer treatments. Rescue & Special Needs Care: My years working in animal rescues abroad provided invaluable experience with dogs, including those with physical disabilities requiring wheelchairs, managing incontinence (diaper changes, bathing, grooming), and understanding fear aggression behaviours. I even wrote a children's picture book, "Pups Paws On Wheels" (check it out on Amazon for a fun, educational read!), inspired by the incredibly happy and mischievous dogs I cared for. Medication & Complex Needs: I am highly proficient in administering medications, from routine doses to managing critical situations like epileptic seizures, as I did for a cat during a pet sit in Dubai. I'm also skilled in advanced care such as bladder expression for paraplegic pets. Broad Pet-Sitting Experience: My experience in the UK spans dogs, cats, rabbits, and reptiles, covering all aspects of daily care like precise feeding, walking, and ensuring their comfort. My approach is built on patience, understanding, and immense love, always prioritizing positive reinforcement with plenty of treats! Being very active, I love walking and swimming, so your pets will enjoy ample exercise and playtime. I'm committed to following all your specific requests, whether that's keeping your dog on a lead or allowing them supervised off-lead time in a safe, enclosed space. Your furbaby's well-being and your peace of mind are my top priorities. Ready to ensure your pets are happy and cared for in their own home while you're away? Please feel free to send me a message with any questions you may have! Much love, Jess Fully available at moment to care and be around all hours for your furbabies.

Toileting in the garden or taking out on the lead walking for toilets. Pets on the furniture or not-whatever your preference. This will be respected.
“Belem took the time to come and meet our dog and get to know us before our family holiday. She took our young cavapoo for 11 walks in total while we were away and they bonded brilliantly. My parents really appreciated the help. Whilst away we received some regular updates and pictures which was great as she is our first dog and we all missed her. Highly recommended 😄”
About: I’ve always been around dogs and genuinely love spending time with them. I’m a reliable, patient and caring person who treats every dog as if they were my own. Whether it’s a relaxed stroll or a more energetic walk, I tailor each walk to suit your dog’s needs, personality and routine. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone, so I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages for peace of mind. I’m punctual, attentive, and make sure every dog feels safe, happy and well looked after. I am also the proud owner of a Shiba Inu called Suki (you can see her posing in my pictures). I will treat your dog with the same love and care as Suki 🐕 I work full time but am able to fit walks into my lunch break & in the evenings after 4:30pm to 8pm. I am flexible. N/A - I don’t offer dog sitting services only walking. This is so I can keep active and also help those who may not be able to walk their dogs as often as they’d like.
About: My family had cats growing up and I regularly look after people's dogs! I love taking dogs out for walks, I love being outside and always think having a dog gives the walks more purpose! I am responsible and will make sure they are well looked after. I will give your pets lots of love and attention. Since being on Rover I have walked dogs and looked after cats, dropping in for visits. I really miss having a cat and would love the opportunity for more cat time and cuddles! I have recently moved back to the UK after living in Vancouver for 3 years. I moved to Bristol a couple of weeks ago and am keen to meet some new dogs and cats! I have completed 6 trusted housesitter visits which I absolutely loved. Whilst I am in between jobs I have plenty of time to care for pets and go for dog walks! I always ensure there is fresh water, stick to the food schedule outlined by the owner but give treats to the pets as a reward. I am responsible so if necessary can give medicine to the pets. I always give them lots of attention! They are an easy distraction for me.
About: I’ve been caring for my own small dog for almost seven years, which has taught me how important patience, consistency and attention to detail are. In addition, friends have trusted me to look after their pets while they were away, giving me experience with different personalities and routines. I understand that every animal has unique needs, and I always take the time to help them feel safe, comfortable and cared for. I’m reliable, organised and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I’ll care for your pet as if they were my own, following your instructions carefully and providing plenty of attention, affection and regular updates! I’m flexible and happy to work around your pet’s usual routine whenever possible. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, indoor play, cuddles or simply a quiet companion, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention and care. I’ll always follow your preferred schedule to help your pet feel comfortable and settled while you’re away ☺️ Your pet’s safety and wellbeing will always be my top priority. I carefully follow every owner’s instructions, including feeding schedules, medication (if needed), exercise and daily routines. I understand that every pet is different, so I always adapt to their individual needs and make sure they feel safe, comfortable and loved. I’ll also keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you can enjoy your time away with complete peace of mind

About: Have a scroll through my photo album to meet all of the happy boys & girls here at Dollhouse from play time in the large, super secure garden (as seen in the photos), to walkies in the park, and tired cuddles on the sofa, the dogs in my care will be loved like they are my own! It is important to me that as pet owers you feel completely relaxed and know your dog is being taken great care of while you are away. Your dog will be treated as part of the family and made to feel as comfortable and happy as possible on their little holiday! 🐶 I have had many dogs of my own throughout my whole life and taken care of the dogs of friends and family for many years. I am now in a position to offer my services to other people full time. I work from home full time so will always be here with your dog. They will get regular walks in the local parks, and I have a nice big secure garden for them to play in too. Being with me will feel like a home from home for your dog, they will be loved and cared for as I do for my own. I work from home full time, the dogs will be able to roam the ground floor of my home and the nice big secure garden that we have here, and keep me company in my home office! At lunch time your dog will get a long walk. Additional walks per day depending on how long your dog is here. I have a lovely big secure garden for your dog to play in. My whole home is secure due to having a dog of my own. I have a room for the dogs to be crated in if that is your preference while I am out or during the night. I can be flexible to accommodate your preferences and your dogs needs.
“Amy was incredible, very communicative and great with my Dog Barry. Got sent photos and videos throughout the day and there were some difficult logistical bits to sort out which she handled wonderfully. I’ll definitely be using her again and couldn’t recommend her highly enough! 10 out of 10!”
“Zia had an awesome 3-day stay with Tom and his partner! They were both so friendly and easy-going, and it was obvious from the start that they really love dogs. I got loads of photos and regular updates, which was brilliant and made me feel completely at ease. Zia looked so happy the whole time and came back relaxed, content, and clearly very well looked after. A huge thank you to both of them for taking such great care of our old lady. We wouldn't hesitate to book them again and would recommend you to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter!”
“Laura and her family were wonderfully welcoming and friendly. We were very happy to leave Stitch in her care for a week. She kept us updated with daily photos and messages. Stitch came home tired out, content and slimmer from all the exercise!! We would definitely book again, thanks Laura”
