“5* doesn’t quite seem enough! If I could give 10* I would. I’ve just picked up my nearly 18yr old terrier, for her stay at Wendy’s and I was greeted by a very happy and contented little dog. The care that Wendy gave was nothing more than supreme. With my little dog being an older age, it can be difficult finding someone and leaving her with them, but on my meet and great with Wendy, I knew I had nothing to worry about. Throughout the sit Wendy kept me updated and I could clearly see my little dog was happy with Wendy. Thank you Wendy for caring for Betty as if she was your own, and giving me such peace of mind.”


“Dodger had a lovely stay with Jackie! Jackie was caring, very attentive and her own dog Oreo was the perfect host. Lovely lady! Dodger was a very happy pooch so would definitely book again!”


“Jordan is such a lovely lady she, is very polite and understanding about your pets needs. My two little pensioners had a few issues about staying away from home but Jordan delt with them and made a fuss of them and gave them loads of cuddles. Jordan went above and her role to make my dogs feel at home in her home. I would recommend Jordan to look after your fur babies.”


“What can I say from start to finish I have been absolutely thrilled with the service Sarah provided. Great communication throughout, doggy updates daily but most of all our dogs were truly made to feel at home and superbly looked after. I wouldn't hesitate to use Sarah again in a heartbeat”


“Jessie seemed very happy and had two lovely doggy friends to keep her company too. Plenty of space, located in lovely surroundings, lots of greenery! Very responsive to messages, photos recieved too. Overall I am over the moon with the service we had from Fiona. Jessie can be a whirlwind so thank you for looking after her for us 🩷”


About: I have had many pets over the years. From a donkey, goats, chickens and of course dogs! I stumbled across offering care for other people's dogs by accident really, but it works really well. I care for our extended family and friends dogs in our home while they go away on holiday. I lost my gorgeous dog four years ago and miss him terribly. I decided this would be a great way to enjoy having the company of a dog again. My dog was a whippet so I know what a good walk looks like! I am are registered on trusted house sitters and have five star reviews from all our sits. I have no dogs myself so your dog would be the only dog to be cared for whilst with me. They would fit in as my pet for the duration of their stay. If I stayed in your home you could rest assured I know how to look after a home. I have been married for over 40 years. I have an acre garden so grass cutting does not faze me either.

“Our Border collie, Flora, really liked Beth and seemed happy to stay with her. She can be anxious with new people and Beth was friendly and took the time to get to know her. During the stay she sent us messages and photos about how well Flora was settling in and this was very reassuring. She communicated with us very well.”


“Toby and Sarah are a lovely couple and cared for our dog Milo very well . Got regular updates with pictures of him having lots of walks , would highly recommend and wouldn’t hesitate to use them again 😊”


“Amazing! lovely couple who care greatly for your dog, always kept me updated on how he was doing and what they had done for the day with photos and videos! would highly reccomend and would use again!”


About: Hi, I’m Raychl! Im 31 years old and have been caring for animals of all breeds, shapes and sizes for as long as I can remember. From tiny basset hounds to giant Newfoundlands, i have experience with a variety of breeds. I have spent many years training, handling strong dogs, managing separation anxiety etc. Recently I have had to leave my previous job due to a health issue and this has given me a lot more free time to spend caring for pups who need a home away from home when their parents are busy. If you need a safe space with plenty of company and cuddles for your pup, please reach out! Im currently working part time fully from home so I have all the freedom to look after your pups. I only work a few hours a day from my laptop at home so we will also have time for plenty of walks and playtime in my garden after the couch cuddles have had their time. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. When caring for dogs in their own home, I stick closely to their normal routines—feeding, walking, and playtime—so they feel secure and relaxed. I make sure doors and gates are always properly secured, and I never let dogs off-leash unless in a safe, enclosed area. When pets stay with me, they have a calm, nurturing environment where they’re treated like part of the family. I provide plenty of love, walks (including beach strolls when suitable), fresh water, and a cozy space to rest. I’m also trained to watch for any signs of stress or discomfort, and I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel at ease knowing your furry friend is happy and cared for.

About: I love to get the most out of all Dogs that come into my home. 5 minutes a day on diluting an unwanted behaviour or teaching a new trick is all part of having a dog around me. Dog Training for my entire life but recently 1 year with clients. 22 years and roughly 25 Dogs have been directly in my life, from Lhassa Apso, Charpei, German Shepherd to Malamute cross. Looked after through regular walks, 1 x morning and 1 x Evening. Long line user for full control in open spaces. I currently work from home and as a remote worker can manage duties steadily throughout the day. Each morning at 7am I walk the dog for 1 hour + on lead and off lead exercise. Then again in the evening for a controlled waking route. I have a long and fenced rear back garden and a fenced front garden. Water is available all day, plenty of toys and shade in the garden. A dog cage is available for use if needed and 20ft long lines are available for the more curious dog that likes to wander and not return.

“I couldn't have had a better experience with Tom and Emily! They were absolutely perfect. We had a little meet and greet before we left our 2 dogs with them and this put me at ease straight away.
