“Lucy has been so amazing with Norman! She kept us updated throughout his stay and he enjoyed every minute. 10/10 recommend will definitely be using Lucy for Norman for future stays :)”
“zulu loves spending time with you and your family. She has loved this whole weekend and is now completely knackered bless her. Great communication and photos sent during the time zulu spent.”
“Hannah & Jordan took such wonderful care of Woody, he has had a brilliant time with multiple walks per day in different locations, swims, brushes and cozy sofa time and cuddles. We felt really bad that we couldn't bring Woody away with us and were nervous leaving him but Hannah & Jordan sent us lots of photos and messages each day. They were also flexible when we were delayed by an hour. It feels as though Woody has had a holiday and has been so well cared for! We would definitely recommend Hannah & Jordan.”
“Annie and her husband were amazing with Patch and made him feel at home straight away. It meant so much to me to be able to leave Patch knowing that he was going to be so well cared for.”
“Cassie had a wonderful time boarding with Amber and associated pooches. She'd never spent a night away from us so we were uncertain how she would respond, but she was made to be one of the family and we got regular updates and more photos when we were missing her. For our first holiday away from her it took the stress of wondering how she might react to kennels and needing extra vaccines. Would definitely use the service again if needed ✨🌟”
“Excellent dog sitter. Provided care and fully attention to Freddie. Lots of photos and videos to let me know what he was up to. Very much recommended, hopefully rebook again soon. Thank you Sophie.”
“Henry and Hannah wee amazing! We got lots of photos, good messages that it felt comfortable to reply to and they told us they had loved having our dog too. We couldn’t have asked for better and it was our first time using their help so we were nervous. We will not hesitate to book them in the future.”
“Wilbur my cavapoo spent a couple of weeks with Joanne. He settled in so well and she provided him with lots of walks and playtime. We had regular updates and could see he was having a wonderful time! I’d happily book with Joanne again.”
“Alison was utterly perfect looking after my boy while I went on holiday. For just shy of a week she kept me updated and with loads of photos and videos of what they were up to throughout the day. I felt incredibly grateful to be able to leave my dog with someone so capable and loving. He’s a big boy with so much energy and Alison handled him so beautifully and confidently the whole time. I can’t thank you enough ♥️”
“This was our dog’s first overnight stay with Stacey, we were obviously a bit nervous, but Bobbie settled well. We had some lovely photos, video's & messages sent to reassure us throughout the day & evening. Stacey & her family were amazing with her, Bobbie looked so content & having the best time. We have already made a second booking with Stacey, because we know our dog will have a lovely time & be so well cared for. I cannot recommend Stacey highly enough. Thank you.”
“I was initially nervous to leave Woozle as she has always stayed with family before but Haley was wonderful with her. She sent plenty of pics and video updates and Wooz was clearly happy and well cared for throughout. I can't recommend her highly enough and would definitely use her services again!”
“Julia was amazing, super quick to respond and really reassuring throughout. You could tell Kanan had a great time! She kept me updated with plenty of photos. I’d definitely recommend Julia if you’re looking for someone to look after your furry friend 😊”
“Jenny was amazing with Frank, she had him for the day whilst I was at work, was really attentive, looked after him and took him on a long walk which has really tired him out. She kept me up to date with what they were doing and sent me pictures throughout the day. Would definitely recommend”
“I honestly cannot recommend Millie and Sam enough!! Morris stayed with them for the weekend and I felt completely at ease the whole time. They kept in touch throughout with updates and lovely photos which made me feel so reassured that he was happy and being well looked after. I could tell that they genuinely cared about Morris and he had the best time. Sam even came and picked him up and dropped him back which made everything so easy and stress free for me. They made me feel so comfortable leaving him and I trusted them straight away. Morris came home relaxed and clearly very well cared for. I would 100% recommend them to anyone and will definitely be using them again and again. Thank you both so so much!! ❤️🐾”
“Lily and her partner were fantastic with my dog, Reggie. I had to book short notice due to illness but Lily was very responsive on the app. They were both very friendly and attentive. My dog was really well looked after and I had lots of update photographs which was lovely. I had peace of mind that Reggie would get plenty of fuss and be well cared for. I recommend Lily for dog sitting and I will be using her in the future.”
“Thank you for looking after Bee. She was happy, well cared for, and clearly loved spending time with you. Thank you as well for the lovely updates throughout the day they really helped put my mind at ease. I would absolutely book with you again”
“Liza took perfect care of our dog Charlie. As a family, we can highly recommend her, and we will gladly book her again in the near future. Charlie enjoyed daily walks to lots of different local locations. We are so happy we found someone local for Charlie to board with. Liza kindly sent photos of Charlie whilst in her care, giving us that extra peace of mind whilst travelling abroad. Thank you again.”
“Abby was so lovely and amazing with Norman! We felt really at ease leaving him with her, and got some great photos of him having the best time. Would definitely recommend, thanks so much Abby!”
About: I currently own a 14 year old male Chihuahua named Milo. Myself and my boyfriend live in a home near central park but also have a lovely secure garden. In November 2025, alongside working full time I have been providing dog/house sitting for a 13 year old Pekingese, 2 guinea pigs and chicken where I offer a high level of care, administer oral medicine and take care of eye treatment and I understand the importance of patience, routine, and attentive care — especially with senior dogs. I have really taken to enjoying looking after someone else's pets so I registered as self employed and have decided to pick up some Rover clients too! I have experience with owning my own dog, a rabbit when I was around 11, plus my grandparents had sheep, cows, chickens, ducks, and all manner of farm animals which I was happily involved in from a young age! My work schedule varies as I currently work full-time, with typical shifts falling between Monday–Saturday (8:30am–5:30pm) and Sunday (10am–4pm). However, I’m always happy to discuss your pet’s individual needs and come to an arrangement that works best for them. Whether your pet is comfortable with shorter periods alone or requires more companionship, walks, medication, or check-ins throughout the day, I’ll always be transparent about my availability and ensure they receive the care, attention, and routine they need to feel happy and secure. My home provides a safe, clean, calm, and loving environment for your pet while they’re in my care. I live in a house with a fully enclosed and secure garden, giving dogs a safe outdoor space to enjoy. I will be the sole caregiver for your pet, allowing me to provide consistent attention, supervision, and routine throughout their stay. I’m experienced and comfortable caring for dogs with additional needs, including administering medication and following specific dietary requirements or schedules. Having a senior dog myself, I understand how important patience, gentle handling, and maintaining familiar routines can be. My Chihuahua, Milo, is very friendly and still enjoys his daily walks — whether that’s a shorter 20-minute stroll around the block or longer 50–60 minute walks around the Central Park loop, depending on your dog’s energy levels and needs. Your dog’s comfort and safety will always come first, which is why I strongly recommend a meet & greet before any initial booking. This helps ensure everyone gets along well and gives you complete confidence that your pet will feel happy, secure, and relaxed during their stay.

About: I’ve owned cats for many years and love everything about them. Over the years I’ve looked after many pets but I’m mainly focusing on cats at the moment as it’s easier for me to work around my main job as a tattooist. I’m a friendly and easy-going, currently in the process of getting a car so I’ll be able to cat-sit further from home soon.
“This was our first time using this service but we need not worry. Tori was very professional and caring for our Tilly who is only 14 months old. We had pictures and videos sent to us and she made us feel so at ease leaving her for the first time. A fabulous service and a lovely lady. Thanks Tori! ”
“Emma was amazing. Leo was taken care of so well. He is a very shy cat but warmed up to her quite quickly. She was also very helpful with last minute changes to timings and days. Emma also updated us on every visit with photos and updates on how he was, which was great as we were able to know how he was. Thank you Emma for being so flexible, understanding and being so amazing with Leo.”
About: -Flexible, positive method Dog Trainer -Pick up & Drop offs available on request -Only accepting dog friendly non-reactive Dogs for boarding -Training enquiries welcome I am Amber, a puppy behaviourist and dog trainer working in Plymouth. I am working towards my Level 3 qualification in Assistance Dog Training, and have plenty of time to interact with dogs while I study from home. I have trained and cared for a range of dogs over the past few years, and raised my own Sprollie Scout and Assistance Dog Sparrow. I am also a Musical Director and Project Manager, I work from home most of the time but do often work some evenings. Housesitting: I am delighted to offer my services as a house-sitter at competitive rates, as I work both inside and outside of the house during my week. Please ensure your dog is happy home alone for up to a full working day, and has a flexible schedule, if you’d like me to housesit for you. 24/7 sits available, depending on availability, at £15ph. Light cleaning included (bedsheets changed, surface wiped, vacuum cleaned) Extra cleaning is £30ph. I work from home most of the week, as I work as a Project Manager and Musical Director, so I'm only out for around 10 hours a week! I also work as a musician, but that means I am at home composing most of the time, and of course going on lovely walks with my dog. I have a house with a large front room and a little outside space. Due to the format of the house, I can only take small and medium dogs for the time being. I have plenty of doors in between the main room and the front exit, so dogs are very safe and secure in the house. PLEASE NOTE: I will only accept non-reactive dogs with no vocal issues. I live in a terraced house with 2 resident dogs, so I cannot accept dogs who are reactive/ will reactively bark/ whimper excessively.
“Millie was so good and kept us fully informed and sent us Lovely Photos too. What a really Nice Girl and Billy appeared to enjoy the attention he got from her. If he could talk he’d say she was Purrfect Lol at looking after him. Definitely recommend Millie and we will ask her again if we need someone for Billy Thank you Millie”

“My cat is very shy & nervous of people she tends to hide away, plus we have just moved so my cat had lots of changes in a short period of time. Shannon was very reassuring & put my mind at ease. Although my cat did her usual act of hiding away on her visits I knew she was being fed watered, had a clean litter tray & was being looked after. The updates are great you know exactly how your pet is doing. I would recommend Shannon to anyone she is very caring & friendly, my cat was in good hands!”
“Sarah has been fantastic looking after my two cats! I got so many wonderful pictures and videos every day and she updated me on everything they'd been up to. I would absolutely rebook Sarah again, she was incredibly respectful of my home and would recommend her to anyone :) Thanks!”
“Our first time leaving Elsa with someone she doesn’t know and Skye was brilliant! Communication was spot on, she made sure that Elsa was able to choose whether to interact and even came in earlier for us knowing that her usual feed time was incredibly early! We’d 100% recommend Skye!”
“Thank you again to Alex for being a wonderful cat sitter to my two. This is the third time we have used Alex and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend. Two happy cats, instructions followed and updates as I had requested. Hopefully see you soon Katie, Pixie and Thor x x”
“I booked Joe over Christmas and he was amazing! He did an initial meet and greet to meet my kitten first, followed all instructions, kept me updated on every visit including photos and videos, and did what was best for her with her needs in mind. Felt very at ease and couldn’t be happier with the care she received! Will definitely use Joe again if I need someone to check in on her.”
“We highly recommend Réka, she took excellent care of our cat April. April can be quite shy but she really took to Réka. She kept us updated with personal messages and was so friendly and polite.”
“Dylan is amazing! The UKs Jackson Gakaxy ( the cat daddy). My cat sybil loves him. He took the time to get to know her and gained her trust. She is an indoor cat, so enrichment is super important and Dylan was a complete hit with her. Is obvious that Dylan has a real connection with animals, he was Sybils best friend immediately ( he didn't even have to bribe her with treats haha) which made ne feel confident to entrust my little world to him I really appreciated the video and photos he sent. 100% recommend.”
About: I have one year of experience caring for cats, and even though I’m still growing in this area, I’ve always been a huge animal lover. Animals have been an important part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I truly treat them like family. I cared for my own dog for 17 years, and I also look after my neighbours cat and the cats of friends from time to time. I love giving pets affection and cuddles, but I also understand when they need space or have their own unique personalities. I’ll make sure your cat feels safe, respected, and well cared for while you’re away! 😊
About: I’ve been caring for cats since I was a child. At the age of 20, I adopted a cat along with her kittens, and my family relied on me to look after them. They truly became my little angels. Now that I’m away from them, I really miss being around cats and would love the opportunity to care for and spend time with them again.
About: I am an adaptable and versatile sitter and extremely reliable. I have done solo cat sitting when needed and cat sitting in conjunction with other pets within the household. I can either house sit or drop in when required.
About: Ive grown up with cats and kittens, and trained them from young kittens to senior cats. Ive house sat and watched after cats for family and friends, and have been able to provide last minute services.

Prices are estimates per day for 1 dog. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
“Jenny took on my dog for day care and was very supportive to ensure Toffee relaxes quickly (Toffee is a nervous dog). She asked a lot of questions in advance and we were really well prepared for the actual care. She has a great and calm approach to the dog. There are also really nice green spaces nearby where they were able to wander. Toffee didnt want to come back! We will book more, thank you”
“Thanks for entertaining Charlie again. He slept well on his return home. He clearly enjoys your company and seems unfazed when I head off. Thanks for lobbing the tennis ball for him (he loves chasing that ball!). Will look for future dates.”
“Having never used Rover before, I was a bit nervous, but Daryl quickly put me at ease. He’s been fantastic at reassuring me and sends detailed updates after each of Flossy’s visits. It’s clear from the way he cares for his own dog, Cooper, that Floss is in very safe and loving hands. She’s looking forward to building a new friendship with both Cooper and Daryl.”
“We’re so pleased to have found Skye’s new sitters. She settled much quicker than we expected, which was a huge relief given her anxious attachment. By her second visit, she was already relaxed and happily sleeping between walks and playtime, which is exactly what we’d hoped for. Communication has been great throughout, and they send lovely picture updates during the day, which is so reassuring. They’ve been warm, welcoming and really flexible with us, and it’s clear they genuinely care about the dogs they look after. We’ve recently moved to the area without close friends or family nearby, so finding people we trust with Skye makes such a big difference. It’s lovely knowing she’s happy, comfortable and well cared for while she’s with them. We’ll 100% be continuing to use their services and would highly recommend them!”
“Thanks so much for entertaining Charlie the tennis-ball obsessed border collie over the past three days! We’ll plan some future dog-care dates. I know that he’ll have enjoyed his strolls around the Barbican. He’ll have loved his trip to the beach … he seemed very happy (and wet ,,, which makes him even happier). Great to see him settled easily and snoozing. He was clearly really comfortable in your company.”
“Can’t recommend Henry and Hannah highly enough. They looked after our labrador Ruby so beautifully over 2 days, with plenty of updates and photos of how they were getting on. Ruby was so excited to go back for the second day.”
“Sam is a brilliant dog sitter, Tala took to him straightaway when we met up and when I dropped her off for her daycare today, she immediately remembered where she was and couldn't wait to get it the house :-) She had a lovely day with Sam, plenty of time outside and lots of attention. She came back to me happy and relaxed, thank you Sam!”
“Tegan has been a wonderful help for Herbert over the past few months. Always very cheerful and gets on brilliantly with our little man. Such a joy to know he's in safe hands. Looking forward to future bookings.”
“Aruna was amazing and Teresa loved her. I chose a day care to see how Teresa would get along with her dog Hope and it was great, they got along really well 💞. We will soon do a boarding and I will be able to travel with peace of mind because Aruna took care of her with a lot of love and attention.”
About: A true animal lover, I have had many myself since I was a child growing up on a farm in the mountains of Andorra: horse, cats, rabbits, dogs, pigs, cows, sheep...I was lucky enough to be able to take my dogs with me to study at Plymouth University- marine biology and oceanography. Therefore, your furry best friend will also have the chance to make new pawsome mates to spend time with and above all, never get bored. My two dogs are called Salsa (jack russell cross) and Billie Eilish (working cocker spaniel), both part time working dogs for pack Boar hunt, mountain goat finds and rabbit hunt. More about myself- I did several weeks of volunteering in a veterinary clinic which gave me the energy needed, skills and patience with sick or old animals. Gentle, jovial and energetic in nature, I would be delighted to enjoy the outdoors with your furry friend during various walks a day, to clean it, feed it and of course to give as much love and cuddles as necessary. Serious and dynamic, I listen to your needs and those of your animal so that he feels as good as possible in your absence and during his stay with me and my partner which lives home aswell. I live near the Hoe and I can travel around Plymouth or its surrounding areas having my car here I offer pick up and drop off services! I am a student at the University of Plymouth and study marine biology and oceanography which means a lot of time at the beach with the pups to fill in this notebooks! I propose long stay and short stay as i don’t go out and live with my fiancé who is also a doggo lover! As previously said, I live by the Hoe which means it is a quick walk to a nice open space for dogs to exercise which is like a garden to me as walks are around 3-4 times a day for my two gorgeous girls. I also do have a little garden on the back of the flat which is secure but small that i therefore don’t use. During bad weather I use sniffin’ games, play hide and seek and get my pups to learn new tricks which could do with yours aswell :) Usually on a basis nice day and weekend we go 3h to the moors or Plymbridge to play and evening rest and walkies around the park. Sundays we go to central park and have an amazing time chasing squirrels or playing fetch ! We also go biking or rest depending on the energy of the dog!
About: I’ve regularly walked dogs for the past 10 years and have my own family dog, Toby, who unfortunately recently passed away. I’ve taken dog training classes when Toby was a puppy. Additionally my family have had 2 rescue beagles before, they may have been difficult at times but it has given me the experience of dealing with anxious dogs. I also have experience with cats and grew up with a family cat for 15 years. I love the connection and happiness that dogs can bring. I’ve recently moved to the area, having been looking after dogs and cats through Rover in London. I’d love to help out pet owners in the local area! I currently work full time from home and so am available everyday during the day, at lunch times and in the evenings. I’m also free most weekends and am happy to make time to look after your furry friends. Working from home has got rather lonely and I’d love the chance to be able to interact with you and your dogs! I will happily visit your pets in your home, as I know sometimes dogs love the comfort of familiar surroundings. I have experience of dealing with many family dogs of varying sizes. I’m also happy to regularly walk your dog, building a relationship will help them feel at ease. Whether your preference is on lead, off lead, large parks or enclosed spaces, I will be happy to accommodate.
“David and Kayleigh did a brilliant job looking after Tala. We'd met for a short walk beforehand and Tala took to them both immediately. When I dropped her off, she happily trotted into their house. Communication was brilliant and Tala looked happy and settled when I picked her up. She had been spoilt with cuddles and attention and I'm sure she'll be delighted to go back for her next stay :-) Thank you both very much!!”

“A regular here. Thanks Alison again for looking after my boys, and I'm glad that they were well-behaved with you. Alison is always sociable and friendly. She is also well-organised and a good communicator. She reports back how the day/stay went in detail, which is very helpful and reassuring. Until next time. Best wishes X”

About: I’ve been a dedicated dog owner for the past 3 years, giving me daily, hands-on experience with feeding routines, structured walks, playtime, basic training, and understanding canine behaviour. Caring for my own dog has taught me responsibility, patience, and how important consistency is for a happy, well-balanced pup. I’m confident handling dogs of different sizes and temperaments and always adapt to each dog’s individual needs. Whether your dog is energetic and loves long walks or prefers a calmer pace and extra cuddles, I’ll make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I’m available most weekends, including late Friday afternoons and evenings, making me a great option for weekend trips, evenings out, or last-minute plans. I’m flexible with timing and always do my best to accommodate your schedule where possible. In my home, pets are supervised, kept in a calm environment, and given plenty of attention and care. While I don’t have a garden, I live very close to Central Park, which provides plenty of safe, open space for regular walks, exercise, and enrichment. I make sure all dogs are kept on-lead unless otherwise agreed. I carefully follow your dog’s usual routine, including feeding times, exercise needs, and any specific instructions you provide.

Saturday and Sunday all day, children will attend on weekends and holidays. Only one dog per walk unless a additional same family dog member is added. We care for pets in a calm, loving home environment and follow each dog’s usual routine as closely as possible. We have a fully fenced garden for safe outdoor time, as well as nearby fields and woodland for walks, and we’re also happy to travel by car for variety if your dog enjoys different walking spots. Dogs are supervised at all times and included in family life, with plenty of play, affection and rest. We’re happy to accommodate crates if required and can follow any specific instructions around feeding, exercise, medication or routines to help your dog feel settled and comfortable during their stay. Before we start walking your dog, we’ll take the time to get to know them properly. We’ll ask about the type of walks your dog enjoys most. We’ll also discuss their routine, recall, behaviour around other dogs and people, any training cues you use, and any health or mobility needs. This helps us tailor each walk to suit your dog’s personality, energy level, and wellbeing, so they feel happy, safe, and confident every time they’re out with us. Our dog walking service is one dog only at a time. Unless it’s an additional same family dog add on.
About: -Flexible, positive method Dog Trainer -Pick up & Drop offs available on request -Only accepting dog friendly non-reactive Dogs for boarding -Training enquiries welcome I am Amber, a puppy behaviourist and dog trainer working in Plymouth. I am working towards my Level 3 qualification in Assistance Dog Training, and have plenty of time to interact with dogs while I study from home. I have trained and cared for a range of dogs over the past few years, and raised my own Sprollie Scout and Assistance Dog Sparrow. I am also a Musical Director and Project Manager, I work from home most of the time but do often work some evenings. Housesitting: I am delighted to offer my services as a house-sitter at competitive rates, as I work both inside and outside of the house during my week. Please ensure your dog is happy home alone for up to a full working day, and has a flexible schedule, if you’d like me to housesit for you. 24/7 sits available, depending on availability, at £15ph. Light cleaning included (bedsheets changed, surface wiped, vacuum cleaned) Extra cleaning is £30ph. I work from home most of the week, as I work as a Project Manager and Musical Director, so I'm only out for around 10 hours a week! I also work as a musician, but that means I am at home composing most of the time, and of course going on lovely walks with my dog. I have a house with a large front room and a little outside space. Due to the format of the house, I can only take small and medium dogs for the time being. I have plenty of doors in between the main room and the front exit, so dogs are very safe and secure in the house. PLEASE NOTE: I will only accept non-reactive dogs with no vocal issues. I live in a terraced house with 2 resident dogs, so I cannot accept dogs who are reactive/ will reactively bark/ whimper excessively.

About: ❗Please note that prices are subject to travel cost and time! 🐶🐈⬛ I always liked being around animals and when I was young we adopted a cat and a couple of years later a dog too! I got to learn how to take good care of them on a day-to-day basis, and gained experience in handling pet visits, care after surgery and managing their requirements. Our family had multiple self-trained dogs before, so I can assure you that yours will be in safe hands as well :) I'm a university students who likes to move, go out a lot and explore! I'm quite flexible as I don't have to be in every day and I'm also happy to hop in before and after lectures. I'm sure we will be able to find a time that fits us both! I consider myself a patient and cooperative person with both dogs and cats of all kind! I always pay attention to their body language to make sure they are feeling well and comfortable in their environment. Additionally, I make sure that your pet get their daily movement and engagement by walks and playing, and of course to receive proper nutrition and hygiene. I even enjoy having small training sessions with them! Every pet is different so please let me know about their requirements and needs! I'm looking forward to working with you and your pet! :))

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life. I lived with my family cocker spaniel, Bertie, in my youth and then cared for him in his final 3 years until he was 14 with my husband. I now have a young cocker spaniel, Charlie who we have had since he was 8 weeks. We have only trained Charlie using positive reinforcement as I believe you get the best out of a dog this way. I’ve had experience with old and young pups, mostly cockers but I can care for big and small and ones with energy too! I am day off every Friday so I have full availability. I work during the week until 4.30pm, so I can do the occasional evening if needed! Usually full weekend availability too. I’d love to keep your pups company whilst you are away. I LOVE cuddles and playtime as well as a good walk. You know your pup best so I will always care for them based how you wish for them to be looked after.

I have just finished my degree in psychology! Whilst I usually do bank healthcare assistant work, I have a lot of time off at the moment and would love to spend it taking care of animals. I am polite and trust worthy, communicative and friendly. I can send regular pupdates and photos whilst you're away for your peace of mind. When sitting in your home, I am conscientious of your space and keep it clean and tidy, making sure that the house is just as you left it. I am an open and honest communicator and will not hesitate to contact you if there is an issue.

We felt really bad that we couldn't bring Woody away with us and were nervous leaving him but Hannah & Jordan sent us lots of photos and messages each day. They were also flexible when we were delayed by an hour. It feels as though Woody has had a holiday and has been so well cared for! We would definitely recommend Hannah & Jordan.”

“Cassie had a wonderful time boarding with Amber and associated pooches. She'd never spent a night away from us so we were uncertain how she would respond, but she was made to be one of the family and we got regular updates and more photos when we were missing her. For our first holiday away from her it took the stress of wondering how she might react to kennels and needing extra vaccines. Would definitely use the service again if needed ✨🌟”

I can’t thank you enough ♥️”

We had some lovely photos, video's & messages sent to reassure us throughout the day & evening. Stacey & her family were amazing with her, Bobbie looked so content & having the best time. We have already made a second booking with Stacey, because we know our dog will have a lovely time & be so well cared for. I cannot recommend Stacey highly enough. Thank you.”

“I honestly cannot recommend Millie and Sam enough!! Morris stayed with them for the weekend and I felt completely at ease the whole time. They kept in touch throughout with updates and lovely photos which made me feel so reassured that he was happy and being well looked after. I could tell that they genuinely cared about Morris and he had the best time. Sam even came and picked him up and dropped him back which made everything so easy and stress free for me. They made me feel so comfortable leaving him and I trusted them straight away. Morris came home relaxed and clearly very well cared for. I would 100% recommend them to anyone and will definitely be using them again and again. Thank you both so so much!! ❤️🐾”

I recommend Lily for dog sitting and I will be using her in the future.”
