“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!!!”

“Louise and her daughter looked after Magnus beautifully. We had daily updates and photos about what he’d been up to, and it looked like he had such a fab time with them all. We felt so reassured as this was the first time we’d left our dog with someone we didn’t know well. Thank you so much Louise and family, M would love to stay with you again :)”

“Jenny loves dogs and has a lovely, cozy place to host Witty. Witty enjoyed the two-night boarding experience with Jenny very much. They went on autumn walks together. Witty is very well looked after and I definitely will entrust Witty with Jenny in the future.”

“Victoria is a fantastic dog sitter. Our springer spaniel, Taffy, is full of beans but very sweet. And Victoria made sure she got plenty of walks and loads of affection. She also posted some beautiful pics of Taffy exploring the Hampshire countryside and relaxing at home, which we found very reassuring as we were traveling far from our beloved pooch. Highly recommended!”

About: I’m here to give your pet 10/10 care - I will do everything to make sure your pet is made to feel calm, welcome, and relaxed whilst ensuring they have a playful and fun time too. I have two miniature dachshunds - Rolo (3.5 years) & Cooper (1 year). They are friendly, cuddly and love to be around other dogs. We live in a quiet cul-de-sac with a fenced garden. I can offer toilet breaks every 2 hours and there are 2 nearby parks for regular walks and fresh air (3 mins and 6 mins away). I will pay attention to dietary needs and can give tablet medication if required. Treats are provided (if allowed!) and we have plenty of toys for them to play with. When the dogs sleep, I play Smooth Chill radio on the Alexa to make them feel more relaxed and settled. Book with me today and you can be reassured your pet will have a happy stay! I work from home 2-3 days a week (days vary, but I will keep my calendar up to date so availability will be as accurate as possible). My job is very laid back with very few calls so I can give my attention to your pet when they are with me at home. *** I will not leave your dog alone - I will only accept bookings on my work from home / annual leave days and weekends when I am here to give them my full care and attention **** We have a fenced garden for plenty of toilet breaks, playtime, sunbathing (in good weather!), they can relax in the garden with me, where there is plenty of shade (we are in a dip so it stays very cool) and in colder weather they can stay warm inside - my dogs love to soak up the warmth from a tower heater whilst snoozing. When the dogs sleep, I play Smooth Chill radio on the Alexa to make them feel more relaxed and settled. We have plenty of toys (chew, rope, squeaky, crinkle). Treats will be given (if allowed!) and I will pay close attention to dietary needs and feeding requirements. Book with me today and you can be reassured your pet will have a happy stay! If your dog is anxious / doesn’t like to be fussed over / prefers quiet - this will be noted and respected. Whatever your needs, please state this on your booking request. Thank you!

“Sandra was absolutely amazing. Rupert had the most fun playing with Charlie all weekend. He came back a very happy boy. Sandra was great with sending updates over the weekend and she provided a fantastic environment for him. We will certainly be using her again if the opportunity arose and would highly recommend her to anyone.”

“Kelly and family were wonderful dog sitters! Rupert had a fantastic time playing with the boys and was a very happy and content doggy when we picked him up! Would 100% recommend Kelly to others and we will certainly love Rupert to stay again in the future!”

About: I hold an Ofqual Level 3 qualification in Canine Welfare & Behaviour, 3 years of experience in the canine care industry, canine first aid certified, DBS checked and fully insured. I’m currently in the process of setting up my own dog daycare business, so building a strong and trusted client base is a big focus for me. Because of this, I have plenty of time during the day to walk, play with, and care for your dogs, giving them the attention and exercise they need. I’m available throughout the week and can be flexible to suit your routine, with availability on selected weekends as well. Pet care is a central part of my day-to-day life, so your dog will always be a priority. I have a lovely, spacious flat with access to a secure fenced garden, and I’m very close to natural open spaces—perfect for safe, enriching walks. With 3 years of experience in the canine care industry and a high-level qualification in canine welfare and behaviour, I’ve worked with a wide range of dogs in different environments and situations. This has given me the confidence and understanding to adapt my care to each individual dog, ensuring they feel comfortable, safe, and well looked after. Whether I’m caring for your dog in my home or yours, I aim to maintain their usual routine as closely as possible and provide a calm, secure environment—so you can have complete peace of mind that both your dog and your home are in safe hands while you’re away.

“Ruby had the absolute best time with Chloe!! Would highly recommend Chloe to anyone, she was really responsive and gave plenty of updates on how Ruby was getting on whilst we were away. Lots of amazing walks in the South Downs!!”

“Monica is an excellent dog carer, always updating us about our lovely doggo, and she answered my messages pretty fast with pictures as well. She is a lovely person and Lola had a great time with her. I highly recommend Monica.”

“Shadia took such great care of our cockapoo, Rory! She was excellent at communicating before and throughout the booking - we got regular updates, photos, and videos which really put our minds at ease. Rory clearly had a fantastic time with Shadia’s lovely family and their sweet dog Skye. It was especially reassuring to know that Shadia was thoughtful and attentive during the heatwave, making sure Rory stayed safe and comfortable. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again!”

About: I would love the opportunity to look after your dog whilst you are away. I have two children between the ages of 10-15 and we all have lots of cuddles and love to give. In the last six yrs I have looked after multiple friends dogs in our home whilst they go on holiday. I have experience of caring for Cocker & Springer cross Spaniels and Staffys. Your dog will have the run of our living /dining room as well as access to our enclosed garden. I live 5 minutes from a park and a nature reserve. We love to go for walks in the New Forest and on the beach and would really enjoy the company of your dog. I have two cats who will happily hang out upstairs whilst we have visitors. I work part time and your dog will only be left up to three hours at a time Monday - Thursday. I also only work term time only so have extra time to give during weekends and school holidays. I have always had cats growing up and have looked after friend’s cats and dogs over the years. I can give your dog a short walk in the morning before going to work. I work from home between 11-1 each day so I can make sure to give your dog lots of attention, meeting their emotional needs. I can provide a longer walk at lunch time to a local park. They will also have access to our enclosed back garden for lots of playtime when I’m at home. After the school pick up we will go on another walk to a different park to provide a different environment providing new smells for your dog to explore, depending on needs. During the weekend and school holidays we have lots of time to play and provide attention to your dog, making sure their every need is catered for. If your dog has a particular routine please feel free to let me know and I will do my utmost to accommodate those needs. To build trust with you and your dog I would suggest we meet in person before you leave your dog in our care. We can then chat about all of your dog’s routines and any medications that need to be given. Your dog will stay in our living/ dining room during its stay which has a door to keep it safe from wandering. I also have an enclosed back garden and will always supervise your dog when it goes out. I will keep your dog on the lead when on walks. I am good at reading your dog’s body language and will make sure there is lots of play time whilst also respecting their need for their own space and rest.

“Char took great care of Kobe- we really felt she looked after him as one of the family which was so reassuring as it was his first time with a sitter. Can’t recommend highly enough thank you! 🐾”

“We needed someone locally to board our dog Darwin for one day/night at short notice and fortunately Hugo was available. When we dropped off Darwin we new straight away that he would be well looked after. We would definitely use Hugo again.”

“Henry & Luna had a fantastic stay with Eddie & William over the Easter break. They arranged a meet and greet before the stay and kept us updated daily with photos. We managed to enjoy our time away and relax fully knowing that our pups were having the best time and were very well looked after. Have already rebooked for another stay in summer!”
