“We couldn’t be happier with the service Lauren has provided for us. We were receiving photos and messages every day about our dog so we were assured everything was okay. Despite our dog is not an easy one Lauren was able to handle everything with ease. She’s an absolute star! Very highly recommended! Thanks a lot Lauren!!!”


6. Owain R.


“Owain and his wife were the best pet sitters we could have asked for. It was our first time leaving our Maggie but it couldn’t have been a better experience. Owain sent pictures every day and provided detailed updates. He also looked after our cat and went above and beyond when the cat had caused chaos in the house 🤣 We would 100% use Owain again, Mags and Neil were very well looked after.”

13. Ellie B.

“This was my first time using Ellie, or any dog sitter for my 18 month Jack Russell, Bailey. She can be very shy and nervous around new people, but Ellie knew exactly how to approach her with ease and gained her trust giving her a treat within 10 minutes of meeting her! Ellie has a beautiful, calm home with plenty of open space for dogs to explore in a large enclosed garden. I received updates on Bailey along with photo's and videos which put a smile on my face. Thank you, an amazing first experience, we will definitely use Ellie again for any future holidays!”

16. Charlotte M.

“I’ve just collected my rescue street dog Sylvie from Charlotte and her husband Sean and I could not be happier about the way she’s been looked after. I felt like they genuinely loved her and treated her as part of the family. They have a gorgeous German shepherd puppy with whom Sylvie has loved playing and chasing about in the fields. I would not hesitate to use them again.”


17. Sarah P.
