“Barley our Cavapoo, was well looked after by Lucy and her family and was very happy during his stay with them. Lucy kept us updated with regular photos and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Lucy. Thank you.”
“Harriet really helped us out of a tight jam super last minute. We’d had a mix up with our normal kennel just 2 days before we were due to go on holiday for a week and she responded to our plea immediately. The dogs loved their time with her, she gave us regular updates and photos and it was clear how much care she took of our two dogs whilst they were with her. Nice long walks, beaches, cuddles they had a blast. She was even kind enough to collect and drop them off, and she shampooed them before returning. Couldn’t have asked for more! Highly recommend! Would happily use Harriet’s services again xx”
“I can highly recommend Sophie. She recently looked after my 7 month old golden retriever and she was fantastic. He was well looked after and we received regular updates and photos. She even ensured his training continued and he had exposure to other dogs, which was invaluable for his development. We will definitely be booking her again.”
“for zulu first time staying overnight and hearing that she bonded with all the family is amazing. Zulu truly loves coming to yours and spending time with all the family especially the spending time with the kids and making you all smile alot. She truly is spoilt when she there which is so lovely to see especially when i come and pick her up as this is what she gets a home. Thank you so much for the service and the update with photos and videos of zulu first time trying the car and the beach. You guys are truly outstanding and love the fact that you guys get to enjoy spending time with Zulu and enjoy her just like i do ❤️”
“Highly recommend Lucy. Lovely family home. My very excitable dog was the most chilled out I've seen her on collection. Well looked after. Regular updates. Will use again. Thanks so much lucy.”
“What a lovely lady Petrina is, very welcoming and will fit in around any request. You know straight away she loves dogs, keeps you up to date with how your dog is whilst staying with her. Our little ruby was at home straight away and we were so happy with Ruby's stay. We would highly recommend Petrina if you were think of leaving your dog with someone as we had total piece of mind whilst away.”
“Frazer looked after my dog Clover whilst i was away for 6 days, I've only ever left her once before with a dog Sitter. Frazer asked lots of questions about Cloves routines, what she liked and disliked and put me at ease straight away, He sent me videos and photos each day to update me on how she was doing I really appreciated this and gave me peace of mind knowing she was living her best life with him! I would definitely recommend Frazer and will be booking Clover in again the next time we go away.”
About: I love spending time with dogs of all breeds and personalities. You can count on me to provide safe, attentive, and friendly care. I have done multiple boardings and grew up with two dogs. My girlfriend works full time at home. I like to walk the dogs before and after work, depending on requirements. Weekends I like a long hike on the moors. We have a fenced garden with a paddling pool. Quick access to the moors or the sea. We can offer a dog bed if required.
“Morgan helped us out last minute with our 8 month old puppy. He has had the best time! She sent some lovely photos, gave him a proper little holiday, popped on some relaxing sounds to settle him at night. Woody was really well taken care of and has come back knackered and happy all of which has made leaving him for the first time so much more stress free! Lovely home and partner, great environment for a puppy, great communication and really accommodating - couldn’t ask for more. Thoroughly recommend!!”
“Alison is a brilliant sitter. It was the first time our small dog has been left with anyone but family, so we were very apprehensive, but straight from the off Alison but our minds at rest, she messaged, took videos & pictures throughout the day, reassuring us that our dog had settled in well. When I went to collect her she seemed very happy & content. Thank you Alison for providing a lovely second home for our dog, we will certainly be using Alison on a regular basic.”
“Tracey and Sarah have given Belle an amazing time, lovely walks and lots of play time, and has made a new friend with their dog River. Tracey kept me well informed with what Belle was up too, lots of regular photos. I recommend Tracey and we will definitely be using her again. Thank you xx”
“Our puppy Phoebe had the best time staying with Emilia for one night whilst we were at a wedding in the area. She was great at adapting to Phoebe’s needs as a young pup & Emilia kept us updated with what they were up to including pictures which we loved! Would use her time and time again if we lived in area - thank you so much!”
“Malgorzata was excellent; it was basically a summer camp for our dog Aurora. We were traveling for two weeks overseas which is the longest time we’ve been away from her since we adopted her. Maggie took Aurora on lots of walks on Dartmoor and shared lots of photo updates. When we went to pick Aurora up, she would have happily stayed longer!!”
“Absolutely amazing! Norman was so well looked after and we received so many lovely updates and great communication. He had the best time during his stay. Thank you so much”
“This was Bobbies second stay with Stacey, also her longest stay with anyone. As soon as we dropped Bobbie off she went to Stacey, it was so reassuring to see that your dog is very comfortable with someone other than family. Once again Stacey took amazing care of Bobbie, we received lovely photos & videos throughout her stay to reassure us. You could see that Bobbie had settled well & was having a wonderful time. Not only did Stacey & her family treat Bobbie like their own dog, but they also even bought her a gift of some lovely toys for her to take home, so kind and completely unexpected. We will definitely be booking with Stacey and her family again; we are completely reassured that Bobbie has a lovely time while away & is as well cared for as we could wish for. We cannot recommend Stacey highly enough - Thank you”
“We couldn't have asked for a better dog sitter than Matt! He looked after our dog Nellie for a week, and from start to finish, he was absolutely fantastic. Matt was incredibly patient, kind, and understanding with Nellie, taking the time to make sure she felt comfortable, settled, and happy throughout her stay. It was clear that he genuinely cared about her wellbeing and treated her as if she were his own. One thing we especially appreciated was how regularly Matt kept us updated. He frequently sent us photos and messages, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. Seeing Nellie happy, relaxed, and enjoying herself made all the difference and allowed us to fully enjoy our trip knowing she was in such good hands. We are so grateful for the care, attention, and dedication Matt showed. Nellie had a wonderful time, and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable dog sitter. Thank you, Matt!”
“Hannah & Jordan are absolutely fantastic with our old boy Murphy. They take him for lovely walks and dips in the water. He goes straight in when he's dropped off which shows us how comfortable and happy he is. It fills us with so much confidence knowing he is relaxed & settled. We can leave him and not have to worry as we know he is in the best hands! His next stay with Hannah & Jordan is already booked!!”
“I booked at the last minute, but the response was prompt and everything was handled with ease. Communication was excellent throughout, with plenty of updates and photos, which gave me real peace of mind. My dog was very well looked after and came home happy and content. I would definitely recommend and wouldn't hesitate to book again.”
“This was the first time that Dora & Morris had stayed with Claudia and her family, and from the first moment it was clear that they would have a great time and would be well looked after. They instantly started playing nicely with Bonnie (their own dog) and Claudia was obviously very experienced, knowledgeable and caring when it came to dogs. They had a lovely stay and were happy pups when we picked them up 😊 Will definitely book again.”
“Charlotte and Josh were wonderful carers for our dog while we were away on holiday - easygoing and knowledgeable, reassuring and flexible, they sent us regular updates and brilliantly navigated some difficulties that arode in a really accommodating, professional and sympathetic manner. We couldn't have asked for more, and we wholeheartedly recommend them for your dog-caring. Thank you to you both!”

“This is the second time we have booked Sophie to look after our cats. Sophie is fantastic, providing a great level of care and consideration for the cats and our home. We get lots of photos of the cats enjoying themselves which is really reassuring. Sophie stays for the full 30mins and spends that time giving the cats her full attention, playing with them and giving them fuss.”
“Millie was thoughtful and professional. She left the house nice and tidy and dealt with the drama of my cat escaping from the house promptly, which was resolved well. Thanks again Millie!”
About: I've grown up with a variety of pets my whole life and have always been an immense animal lover! Because of this, I am often relied on by friends and family to look after their fur-babies whilst they are away and also have lots of experience house-sitting. I'm at my happiest when I'm around dogs and animals and giving them the love and attention they deserve. I own my own home so I'm therefore very responsible and respectful of whoever's home I'm staying in. I will be sure to follow your instructions regarding pet care and certain things around the house. I currently work full-time Monday to Friday so I would be available to look after your pup(s) from late afternoon on Friday until Sunday evening (or early Monday morning). On some occasions if need be, it may be possible for me to work remotely from your home (if WiFi permits and dependant on your facilities but I would need plenty of notice for this). Over the weekend I will be on hand every couple of hours to give your fur-babies my undivided attention, walkies and play time! I would also be available to pop in for checks and short walks during weekday evenings as well. I have a handsome miniature dachshund who keeps me company while I work from home during the week. I have a fenced and secure garden and have a car seat cover that covers the entire back seat meaning we can go further afield for walks as where we live has lots to offer on our doorstep for a variety of walks and terrain. We tend to go on two walks a day and perhaps a longer, more adventurous one on the weekends.

About: I have always had a profound love for all animals, especially dogs and a passion to look after them. I have had a variety of animals around me my whole life and I am experienced in caring for all breeds dogs. I would love to help someone out who has work commitments or deserves a holiday/break by looking after their pet. I would ensure they have lots of love, cuddles, walks and attention. I live in a house with a large, secure garden so lots of space for your dog to run freely. I am home a lot of the time so they would hardly be left on their own for long periods of time. I have been dog sitting for almost 7 years now and have lots of experience looking after a variety of dog breeds and ages. I work from home so can be very flexible around your schedule and adapt to your pets requirements where needed. I have a Cavalier King Charles called Ruby who would love a play date or a walking buddy! Ruby is brilliant with children and a registered therapy dog. I have 7 years of experience caring for a variety of animals, so you can trust me to provide the highest standard of care to your pet. I'm passionate about animals and I'll do everything I can to ensure that they're happy and well looked after whilst in my care.
About: I’ve had pets in my family home as long as I can remember, including three dogs, two cats, two tortoises, fish and hamsters over the years. I’ve always loved being around and looking after animals, especially dogs. I grew up with an English Springer spaniel and a Dandie Dinmont terrier - two dogs that were polar opposites but both affectionate and loyal - what more can you ask for? After they both passed away last year, my mum brought a Maltese poodle puppy called Lola into the family home and it’s reminded me of how playful and loving pets are. In terms of experience, I’ve dog-sat and walked my mates Australian Labradoodle and previously looked after neighbours cats while they’ve been away. If you’re interested, please feel free to reach out - Thanks. I work full-time for a multinational professional services company however my job is fully remote and employees are entrusted to work flexible hours to manage their own work schedules. I’d love the extra bit of company when working from home and the opportunity to get out on walks during the day. I live in a dog- friendly duplex flat with open plan living and kitchen and a small-medium sized balcony. I understand this may be off putting but I’m a 3 minute walk from Lovell Park, and only a 10 minute walk from the canal, which I often run along and is very popular with dog walkers. I have a very comfortable sofa and plenty open floor space to roam around
About: Hello! My name is Hannah. I have loved dogs since my little Westie Frodo (only the size of a jacket potato!) entered my life when I was 3 years old. Since then, I admire every pup that walks past me. Luckily for me, I work for Brittany Ferries, so I get to sign in all the holiday ready pets! I have been looking after dogs since I was little, my dog Frodo was the light of my life, I wanted to do everything that would make him happy. I was also the first call when friends needed a place for their pet to stay, as they knew I would put all my attention on looking after their pup (I also love taking photos, so they enjoyed recieving updates!). Currently I am regularly looking after a little darling dog named Snowy and also house sitting for friends with two new tiny kittens! Last year I did a Pet First Aid course. I currently work part time (every Sunday and 1 Tuesday a month), and when not working I am making art at home so regular pee breaks remind me to get up and take care of myself too! I live in a large house/land with a few other families. This includes 2 cats, 2 dogs and small children. In the house, which I have a room in and the pet will stay, we have two cats roaming around. One loves cuddles (even from dogs!) and the other is a grump, but if given space he doesn't mind being around a dog. A few steps from the house there is a big field, great to throw a ball and to do a quick morning pee before I have time to make a coffee! Just off of the land, it's a 10 minute walk through fields to the moors! So great walks are awaiting. As for home visits, my goal is to make sure the pet has some quality play/cuddle time and a wee and snack, so they can tire out then nap until you return home!
“Ziggy had so much fun with Sophie and her pups, he came back absolutely exhausted and I had updates throughout the day! I couldn’t recommend Sophie enough definitely will be using her again in the future 🤎”
About: I began by independently fostering a pregnant cat who I rescued from the streets, providing housing and care throughout her pregnancy and raising her kittens to ensure their health and development. This experience led me to a role at an animal rescue, where I worked for approximately a year caring for rescue cats and dogs, managing all aspects of their care. A key part of this work involved confidence building, to ensure good quality of life. Consistent handling to help the animals feel secure and settle into their new environment. I’m currently working from home so I will be in your dogs/cats company for majority of the day. Typically I do a daily big walk for myself so this is something your dog can potentially join in on. I live in a small studio apartment in the country side with a large garden (not fenced in) lots of land surrounding me, and many nature walks. There are friendly dogs on the property which your dog can befriend depending on your preference for that.
“Thanks for entertaining Charlie. I’m glad that he was able to join in for the online meeting! We’ll certainly look for some other dates (hopefully when not in a heat wave), as he’d love chasing his ball around Crapstone.”
“It was the first time I left my 14 week puppy with someone else and Lucy couldn't do more to welcome her in. She sent regular photos updates and I had a very happy puppy to take home. Thank you to both Lucy and her family for taking great care of Josie!”
“Thanks for looking after Charlie, the three-year-old Collie. He seemed very content and clearly settled well (I can only apologise for him shamefully lounging on his back with his nether-regions exposed!). He does like human company and is not so happy on his own. It was good to see him happy druing the day (and happy being dropped off the next day too).”
“Jess and Joel took excellent care of Otto. They were super kind, caring and sent me regular updates about how Otto was doing. It is it was Ottos first experience of going to a loving home for a few days and I can highly recommend Jess and Joel. Thank you.”
About: I've grown up around dogs, so having muddy paws around the house feels pretty normal to me. My grandad was a well respected vet, which meant I was lucky enough to meet dogs of all breeds, ages and personalities, including plenty of rescue dogs! I have just moved out of my parents house which has meant I no longer have my two beloved border terriers to keep me on my toes! I work from home full time so your dog won’t be left counting down the hours until you’re back. They’ll have plenty of company, lunch time walks and lots of cuddles of course! I work from home full time, so I’m lucky to have plenty of time during the day to look after your furry friend and keep them company! My partner also has a flexible job, which means we would happily adapt to their routine and make sure they are well looked after. I’m active and love spending time outdoors, so getting out for walks is something I really enjoy! Whether they’re up for a longer walk or just a good explore of the local area, I’d love to have them join me and become part of my day. We have a fenced garden with lots of room for your dog to run around and enjoy some outdoor time! There are plenty of walking spaces nearby, including a forest 5 minutes walk away, so there are lots of options for longer walks and shorter strolls. We’re not a strict household, if your dog is allowed on the sofa at home, they’ll be more than welcome to relax on ours too! We’ll always try to keep them to their usual routine and make sure they feel comfortable while they’re with us.
“Absolutely bloody marvelous. Amazing communication throughout the process, and kept our puppy busy and having loads of fun throughout the whole day. Photos of his day were of really high quality, and it was possible to see he was very much enjoying himself throughout. 10,000% will use again!”
“Alison provides a calm, safe environment. Her house is located conveniently with two large parks. Alison looked after our boys for the very first time today, and we were very pleased with how she helped them make themselves at home and occupied them. She is trustworthy and a good communicator. We wouldn't hesitate to ask Alison to look after our boys again. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog care provider. Thank you, Alison!”
About: I treat every dog as if they were my own, so you can enjoy your time away knowing they’re happy, loved, and cared for. I love walking and I love animals so the both work great together - dogs are wonderful and I love them so much and cats , actually most animals I have 3 cats , which are well cared for - I have lots of space in my house and a garden which is great for dogs
“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!”
About: I am a professional lady who works for the NHS and am a huge dog lover of all types and sizes. I have looked after dogs for over 20 years now. They have full run of the house and are welcome on all furniture. My flexible working hours allow me to mostly work at home - ensuring dogs get the attention, love and lots of walks. My work is very flexible and I mostly work from home. Pets come first in this household-making sure they are cared for, loved and most importantly have lots of lovely dog walks. Our firm favourite is Plymbridge Woods. I have a safe and secure small garden, a dog flap if needed. They have the full run of my house and I only ever have one dog boarding to ensure your pooch gets the love and attention they need.
About: I’ve taken care of friend’s dogs for the last 5 years. Our amazing boxer dog died in March and we really miss having a dog around the house- so would be honoured to look after yours. I am on maternity leave until the end of 2026 so can provide lots of care for your dogs as I am at home a lot. Looking forward to connecting ❤️ I’m on maternity leave until the end of 2026 so have lots of flexibility to fit around your pet and am at home a lot of the time. I have a fenced garden and am close to lots of lovely parks for nice walks. In the afternoons and weekends we enjoy walking near the sea. Dogs are welcome on our sofa, in our bedroom and anywhere they want 😊
“We were staying in Bude, and while visiting Cornwall wanted to do some activities where dogs are not allowed. At first we found it difficult to search for doggy day care and then we came across Rover and Dale's Doggy Day Care. We were nervous to leave our dog, Wafer with a stranger, in an area we didn't know. Dale was very welcoming and accommodating with drop-off and pick-up times. Our dog is very friendly, however at first seemed a bit nervous to meet Rex, Dayle's dog. Dale took the time to help Wafer settle in and within minutes of us leaving we received pictures of our dog enjoying the place. The second day, Wafer was still a little bit nervous to stay, which didn't help us feel good about leaving him for another day. Dale was quickly on the case to help him settle again and the videos we received showed us how happy Wafer was, once we left. Of course, as always, noone is as happy to see you as your dog! Wafer was happy to be back with us and tired, ready to relax, which was great for us 👍🏼 Wafer's profile picture on Rover is one of the photos we received from Dale ❤️ We would thoroughly recommend Dale's Doggy Day Care and left his details with our campsite!”

About: I’ve grown up around animals and have always had dogs in my life. I currently have three dogs of my own, so I’m very comfortable handling different personalities, energy levels and routines. While I’m new to dog walking professionally, I’m used to daily walks, feeding routines, basic training and making sure dogs get the exercise and attention they need. I understand how important it is for owners to know their dogs are safe and well cared for. I offer one-on-one dog walks, taking dogs on local countryside routes. Walks are 30–60 minutes, giving each dog safe, supervised exercise and attention. I schedule multiple walks per day and can accommodate several dogs. I treat every dog as if they were my own.

I would also be available to pop in for checks and short walks during weekday evenings as well. I have a handsome miniature dachshund who keeps me company while I work from home during the week. I have a fenced and secure garden and have a car seat cover that covers the entire back seat meaning we can go further afield for walks as where we live has lots to offer on our doorstep for a variety of walks and terrain. We tend to go on two walks a day and perhaps a longer, more adventurous one on the weekends.

“Barley our Cavapoo, was well looked after by Lucy and her family and was very happy during his stay with them. Lucy kept us updated with regular photos and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Lucy. Thank you.”
“I can highly recommend Sophie. She recently looked after my 7 month old golden retriever and she was fantastic. He was well looked after and we received regular updates and photos. She even ensured his training continued and he had exposure to other dogs, which was invaluable for his development. We will definitely be booking her again.”

“Frazer looked after my dog Clover whilst i was away for 6 days, I've only ever left her once before with a dog Sitter. Frazer asked lots of questions about Cloves routines, what she liked and disliked and put me at ease straight away, He sent me videos and photos each day to update me on how she was doing I really appreciated this and gave me peace of mind knowing she was living her best life with him! I would definitely recommend Frazer and will be booking Clover in again the next time we go away.”
About: I love spending time with dogs of all breeds and personalities. You can count on me to provide safe, attentive, and friendly care. I have done multiple boardings and grew up with two dogs. My girlfriend works full time at home. I like to walk the dogs before and after work, depending on requirements. Weekends I like a long hike on the moors. We have a fenced garden with a paddling pool. Quick access to the moors or the sea. We can offer a dog bed if required.
“Morgan helped us out last minute with our 8 month old puppy. He has had the best time! She sent some lovely photos, gave him a proper little holiday, popped on some relaxing sounds to settle him at night. Woody was really well taken care of and has come back knackered and happy all of which has made leaving him for the first time so much more stress free! Lovely home and partner, great environment for a puppy, great communication and really accommodating - couldn’t ask for more. Thoroughly recommend!!”
“Alison is a brilliant sitter. It was the first time our small dog has been left with anyone but family, so we were very apprehensive, but straight from the off Alison but our minds at rest, she messaged, took videos & pictures throughout the day, reassuring us that our dog had settled in well. When I went to collect her she seemed very happy & content. Thank you Alison for providing a lovely second home for our dog, we will certainly be using Alison on a regular basic.”
“Tracey and Sarah have given Belle an amazing time, lovely walks and lots of play time, and has made a new friend with their dog River. Tracey kept me well informed with what Belle was up too, lots of regular photos. I recommend Tracey and we will definitely be using her again. Thank you xx”
“Malgorzata was excellent; it was basically a summer camp for our dog Aurora. We were traveling for two weeks overseas which is the longest time we’ve been away from her since we adopted her. Maggie took Aurora on lots of walks on Dartmoor and shared lots of photo updates. When we went to pick Aurora up, she would have happily stayed longer!!”
“Absolutely amazing! Norman was so well looked after and we received so many lovely updates and great communication. He had the best time during his stay. Thank you so much”
“This was Bobbies second stay with Stacey, also her longest stay with anyone. As soon as we dropped Bobbie off she went to Stacey, it was so reassuring to see that your dog is very comfortable with someone other than family. Once again Stacey took amazing care of Bobbie, we received lovely photos & videos throughout her stay to reassure us. You could see that Bobbie had settled well & was having a wonderful time. Not only did Stacey & her family treat Bobbie like their own dog, but they also even bought her a gift of some lovely toys for her to take home, so kind and completely unexpected. We will definitely be booking with Stacey and her family again; we are completely reassured that Bobbie has a lovely time while away & is as well cared for as we could wish for. We cannot recommend Stacey highly enough - Thank you”
“We couldn't have asked for a better dog sitter than Matt! He looked after our dog Nellie for a week, and from start to finish, he was absolutely fantastic. Matt was incredibly patient, kind, and understanding with Nellie, taking the time to make sure she felt comfortable, settled, and happy throughout her stay. It was clear that he genuinely cared about her wellbeing and treated her as if she were his own. One thing we especially appreciated was how regularly Matt kept us updated. He frequently sent us photos and messages, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. Seeing Nellie happy, relaxed, and enjoying herself made all the difference and allowed us to fully enjoy our trip knowing she was in such good hands. We are so grateful for the care, attention, and dedication Matt showed. Nellie had a wonderful time, and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable dog sitter. Thank you, Matt!”
“Hannah & Jordan are absolutely fantastic with our old boy Murphy. They take him for lovely walks and dips in the water. He goes straight in when he's dropped off which shows us how comfortable and happy he is. It fills us with so much confidence knowing he is relaxed & settled. We can leave him and not have to worry as we know he is in the best hands! His next stay with Hannah & Jordan is already booked!!”
“I booked at the last minute, but the response was prompt and everything was handled with ease. Communication was excellent throughout, with plenty of updates and photos, which gave me real peace of mind. My dog was very well looked after and came home happy and content. I would definitely recommend and wouldn't hesitate to book again.”
“This was the first time that Dora & Morris had stayed with Claudia and her family, and from the first moment it was clear that they would have a great time and would be well looked after. They instantly started playing nicely with Bonnie (their own dog) and Claudia was obviously very experienced, knowledgeable and caring when it came to dogs. They had a lovely stay and were happy pups when we picked them up 😊 Will definitely book again.”
“Charlotte and Josh were wonderful carers for our dog while we were away on holiday - easygoing and knowledgeable, reassuring and flexible, they sent us regular updates and brilliantly navigated some difficulties that arode in a really accommodating, professional and sympathetic manner. We couldn't have asked for more, and we wholeheartedly recommend them for your dog-caring. Thank you to you both!”
“I couldn’t have been happier leaving my dog with Nick and his family! Nick was fantastic—he sent daily updates with photos and little notes about all the fun they were having together. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my pup was in such great hands and clearly enjoying himself. Highly recommend Nick to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter. Thanks again, Nick!”

“I was nervous to leave my boy with a dog sitter but I had no reason to worry at all. He has clearly had the best time being looked after by Nicky In her home. Regular updates of how he was getting on, and was great for him to make a new doggy friend too with Nicky’s own dog. I will be in touch next time he (I) need a holiday!!”
