“This was Walter’s first stay away from home. Anthony took great care of Walter, they enjoyed lovely long walks to the river sometimes meeting dog friends to play with too. He kept us updated with photos of Walter daily. We will definitely be happy to leave Walter with Anthony in the near future.”
“Vinnie has absolutely loved his stay with Adele. The updates we received from her daily was fantastic! Wonderful dog lover and very trustworthy! Adele’s dogs are fantastic with other dogs and your pooch will definitely come back exhausted! -(which is delightful) Will certainly be using Adele in future.”
“Charlotte took Tilly, our 18 month old Cockapoo, for an 8 night stay for our first holiday apart. She's made a strong bond and left us completely at ease despite some trepidation with leaving her for a week. Charlotte has been very accommodating in helping maintain Tilly's routine and she's just seemed right at home to the point whereby I can see they will miss each other after the visit. We were kept informed daily with updates, photos which helped no end and allowed us to relax on Holiday. She even came back bathed and fluffy for her return home. I would recommend anyone looking for a capable, trustworthy and very loving companion for your dog. Will hope to use Charlotte for any future sitting needs.”
“Blu has had the most amazing long weekend with Georgia and her family! He was treat as one of her own pets and given so much love throughout his stay! I was kept updated all weekend with photos and videos and it was clear to see how much Blu was well cared for. I would recommend Georgia 10/10, it felt like he went from home to home and Blu cannot wait for his next stay :) thank you so so much! Xxx”

Heather really looked after them as if they were her own dogs. We will definitely be using Heather again ??”

Lola came home a very happy dog and is looking forward to her next stay in July. Big thanks to Vera for looking after our fur baby so we’ll.”
About: Spending time with dogs has been a positive and grounding part of my life. As a veteran, I value patience, routine, and reliability, and I bring those qualities into the care I provide. I enjoy walks, outdoor time, and giving dogs attention and companionship. I’ll always care for your pet with kindness, respect, and consistency. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I have a flexible schedule for walks, drop-ins, and sitting. I enjoy staying active and spending time outdoors with dogs. I’m dependable, responsive, and committed to making sure pets get the attention, exercise, and care they need while their owners are away. I’m a trustworthy and patient caregiver with over 10 years of experience training, walking, and caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and temperaments. Safety and comfort always come first. I have a private, secure garden where dogs can safely play and relax. I pay close attention to routines, behavior, and owner instructions to make sure every dog feels secure, cared for, and happy while in my care.
“Sarah looked after my dog, at quite short notice. She's been brilliant, sending me pictures of him whilst I was away and letting me know how's he's doing. 100% recommended.”
“Lewis was a wonderful dog sitter, we couldn’t be happier. We always used kennels up to now, but found this app and loved the idea that our dog would be in a home environment. We met up first to make sure our dogs got along, they did, and I dropped our dog off a few days later. Lewis has a lovely home environment for dog sitting; works from home, indoor and outdoor space, free to roam, lots of attention and chilled atmosphere. Lewis kept us up to date with their daily activities, lots of photos and videos on the app - it was very reassuring. Would definitely and highly recommend! X”
“We were very satisfied with the lovely service provided by Melanie whilst looking after our pooch Otis. We met up before our holidays and she took to Otis straight away and him to her. She looked after him for 8 nights and I think it was almost home from home for him. Melanie provided us with updates and photos which really put our minds at ease. We would certainly use Melanie again without a doubt. Thank you very much Melanie”
About: Ever since my fur baby passed away last year I’ve so missed having a dog around. I love all breeds of dogs, having owned German Shepherds and previously been boarding a Cane Corso, large breeds are welcome here❤️ I work full time, however my early mornings (before 7.15am) or my evenings after 4pm are always free. I typically have a Monday off of work and free all day then, I can board dogs Sunday (after work), overnight and all day Monday. I will have more flexibility in June - being able to board for days/weeks at a time. I have an enclosed front and back garden, with the back garden having high fences, I have back patio doors to allow the dog to come freely in and out of the house. Your pet can treat my home like their home, I want them to feel comfortable with me and enjoy their time here. Whether that be snuggled up together on the sofa or giving them their own space wherever they prefer.

Thank you for looking after Peanut so well! He was treated like their own dog and I got regular updates throughout. He came home very content and happy after his stay. He was walked, played with and got plenty of treats and cuddles. Would happily book again and recommend to anyone. Thank you Samruddhi 😊
This is the first time I’ve used a sitter (boarding) so probably had more questions than usual, Adele was incredibly responsive and helpful. I would have absolutely no hesitation in booking with Adele again (I’ve already booked a second visit)), and I would recommend in a heartbeat. Adele and Jordan are lovely people who clearly love dogs, the comms and updates throughout have been fantastic.
Steve and his family took great care of Sarge, my silver lab. It was quite last minute but Steve was more than happy to meet beforehand so that I could meet the family and see where Sarge would be staying for the night. I received plenty of updates, sarge settled in straight away and loved his little holiday! Will definitely be booking Steve again knowing that Sarge was happy there.
What can I say from first meeting Victoria I knew milo was in good care and going to be well looked after. We had regular updates , and Milo really enjoyed his stay, I will definitely be going back to Victoria she's a absolute Angel after we had to book Milo in at very short notice.,I would highly recommend Victoria to anyone wanting a dog sitting service. Thankyou Pauline Jimmy Sarah ❤️
Highly recommend Megan she looked after my boy for just short of 2 weeks whilst we travelled abroad. Megan has fantastic communication, sent photos and kept me up to date which was massively reassuring and most importantly our boy was well looked after. Would use again.
Ashleigh was fantastic, this was our first time leaving Yogi with anyone other than close family. And obviously we had resovations as concerns. However we felt at easy with Ashleigh from the start. We got regular updates and constant communication with how Yogi was doing. We would book them again in a heartbeat. And Yogi seemed to have a fantastic time
Left our puppy for the 1st time with Hannah, she really put me at ease and Bobby took to her straight away. We had a few little chats before hand and on the night she sent me lots of messages and pictures. I will not hesitate to book Hannah again and highly recommend her if your looking for someone to look after your baby.
