“Jolene and her whole family were wonderful in taking care of Cali. Cali loved her children and looked like she had a great time at the beach with them all. I would definitely use Jolene again, if she was happy to look after Cali. Thank you so much and I definitely recommend her for you dogs. :)”
“Our dog, Huxley has just stayed with Becky while we were away for the weekend. He was really excited to see her again and looked instantly at home. He came back on Sunday, tired, relaxed and very happy. Becky sent us pictures and was really friendly and professional throughout. Really helpful too, when I needed to adjust all the travel plans due to train changes. We saw Hux went on some fab walks and looked really settled at her home. She made the whole experience really easy for us and we're looking forward to using her again. We highly recommend Becky!”

About: I’ve owned dogs throughout my life and have always loved caring for animals, I used to regularly walk a friend’s dog and have looked after dogs for friends and family while they were away on holiday. I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy to care for your pet, and I will treat every dog as if they were my own 😊 I’m happy to provide regular updates, photos and plenty of attention to help both you and your dog feel comfortable and relaxed! I have a flexible schedule and can provide reliable care throughout the week and weekends, I am home all week and would only need to pop out for school run 3x a week 😃 I understand that pets thrive on routine, so I’ll do my best to maintain their usual feeding, walking and play schedules. Your pet will receive plenty of attention, care and regular updates while they’re with me! Your pet’s safety and wellbeing are my top priorities, I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, personality and any special requirements before accepting a booking.

About: I’ve had cats in my family all my life. I’ve had kittens to seniors. Dogs have also been included, looking after family and friends dogs when in need. I work full time from home in a role that gives me flexibility. I’m able to manage my own diary to accommodate other aspects of life. I have a garden that’s grassed, secure with a good sized fenced and safe. Two cats that are comfortable with other dogs that are comfortable with cats
About: I will look after your pets like they're my own! I have had cats and dogs from a young age and I am experienced in looking after them and each of their unique quirks and how they mix together. Of course all animals are different so I will work with you to look after and care for your fur babies and their individual needs exactly how you would want them to be cared for. I work full time Monday to Friday and on average I work from home 2 days a week over the month. Which days I choose to work from home are completely flexible. So have plenty of wiggle room for caring for you pets at home (either mine or yours) for drop ins/walkies. My weekends are my own so I am pretty available and flexible. I have my own cats so for dog sitting in my own home they would need to be non-aggressive towards cats. I have a lovely garden that is fenced at the back (backs onto an alleyway) and low walls to neighbouring gardens.
About: Calm, home-from-home dog boarding by the beach 🐾 I offer a relaxed, loving environment where your dog will be treated like part of the family. Living right by the beach means plenty of fresh air, walks, and a calm routine — it’s like a little holiday for them while you’re away. I keep things small and personal, usually caring for just one dog at a time. This allows me to give your dog plenty of attention, consistency, and a stress-free environment, which works especially well for more sensitive or excitable dogs. I’m experienced with a range of temperaments, including puppies and high-energy dogs, and I’m confident following your routines — whether that’s feeding, training, or medication. Owners often say they feel completely at ease knowing their dog is in safe hands, and I always keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax while you’re away. I work part-time, so I have lots of flexibility for walks, playtime, and company throughout the day. I’m active and out walking daily, making sure your dog gets a good balance of exercise and downtime. I’m always happy to accommodate your dog’s usual routine and sleeping arrangements to help them settle in comfortably. I'm currently working part time so I've got lots of time to walk/ play with your pup. I'm very active and walk/run daily. I can be available most weekends also and daytimes too. I don't have a crate at home but we're happy to have your pet sleep in the living room (on the couch if prerable). Happy to accommodate any need
“Suzanne has been looking after Reggie my Jack Russell for 7days while I’ve been on holiday and made him feel at home from home, you can tell he’s enjoyed her company with her neighbours and he loved her cuddles on her sofa from the pictures she sent me. I highly recommend Suzanne just for the warmth and care she provides for your extended family member. I will be using her s services again.”
About: For the past three years, I’ve had the privilege of looking after my Pomeranian baby, and it’s been an incredibly rewarding experience. From the moment I brought him home, I made sure to provide him with a loving, safe, and stimulating environment. I prioritize his health by keeping up with regular vet check-ups, a balanced diet, and plenty of exercise to keep him active and happy. I also pay close attention to his grooming needs—brushing his fluffy coat regularly to prevent matting and keeping his paws clean and trimmed. Every day, we share moments of joy, whether it’s a playful romp in the yard, snuggles on the couch, or teaching him new tricks. Beyond the daily care, it’s the bond we share that truly means the most. I love how his little personality shines through, how he greets me with excitement every time I walk through the door, and how we’ve grown so connected over the years. Hi is not just a pet; he is family, and my heart fills with love every time I look at him. Hi There! I work mostly online at home so I will be happy to look after small ones. I have my own car so I easy can come any time needed! Looking forward hear from you! Caring for pets in a pet owner’s home, safety, trust, and the environment are always my top priorities. Here’s how I ensure that: Safety: I create a pet-proof environment, making sure that all potential hazards—sharp objects, toxic plants, or small items that could be swallowed—are removed. I also ensure that pets are supervised, especially during playtime or outdoor activities. Trust: Building trust with both pets and owners is essential. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality, routine, and preferences, ensuring they feel comfortable and safe in their surroundings. Regular updates, photos, and videos help owners stay connected and assured that their pet is in good hands. Environment: I provide a calm, loving, and enriching environment. This includes a quiet space for rest, age-appropriate toys for mental stimulation, and a consistent daily schedule for feeding, walks, and bathroom breaks. Ultimately, I aim to give pets the same care and attention as I would my own, making sure they feel loved and cared for in a secure and trusting environment.

Faith was absolutely brilliant as a dog sitter. My two dogs loved her from the moment they met her, which immediately gave me peace of mind. She was incredibly helpful and flexible throughout, and really went out of her way to accommodate us, even taking the dogs at very short notice. That last-minute support made a huge difference and was genuinely appreciated. Everything was handled smoothly and responsibly, and I wouldn’t hesitate to ask her again or recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.
Our pooch Mabel had a great time with Annie. We got regular updates and videos to show us how she was doing, and she looked happy as can be. Annie was able to accommodate mabels, dietary and medicinal needs well. Annie clearly loves dogs, we heartily recommend her to anyone who needs a sitter for their furry friend.
Fern is amazing!! Winston clearly loved spending time with her: long walks, cuddles and treats. What more could he want 🥰 Thank you for being so kind for collecting and delivery him, as that made a busy weekend so much easier. Really appreciate how thoughtful you are about him, I know I send a lot of information and you made me feel so much less anxious with all the beautiful photos! Thank you again xx
Caterina is a very lovely and kind person. I felt straight away very comfortable leaving our dog Lexy with her. Her little pug is adorable and gave Lexy confidence whilst staying with them. Thanks again for looking after Lexy, she had the best time with you guys 💛
Delighted to leave a 5* review for Nicola, Brenda and all at Doggy Dream Garden Retreat. What a wonderful place full of special people, lovely pets, care and kindness. Monty adored his time there and all of the new friends he made, furry and otherwise! Can't recommend highly enough and feel so lucky to have found them.
Cyndi had a lovely time staying with Ella and Scramble, where she was treated as one of the family. Ella sent daily updates and pictures so we could see Cyndi was really well cared for and very content. We recommend her unhesitatingly and will definitely be booking Cyndi in again. Thanks Ella!
Darren looked after my German Shepherd puppy for several nights. Literally, nothing was too much trouble. A very calm and clean household. Darren is visibly experienced and well suited to dogs of all ages. I was kept updated with photos and messages. It was like leaving my dog with a well trusted family member! Drop-off and pick-up was smooth and simple. When I arrived to pick my dog up, he was happy, calm, relaxed and freshly bathed. Darren is a highly recommended, tried and trustworthy boarding option for anyone in need of true pet care.
I could not recommend Matt enough, he was absolutely brilliant with Sherlock and went way beyond what I expected. Matt showed Sherlock so much kindness and Sherlock clearly had a wonderful day. You can be absolutely confident and content with Matt, he’s a very safe, thoughtful sitter.
I can't speak highly enough of Tina. She jumped in very last minute when I was let down by a friend with cover for Angus. Tina was quick to respond and was super accommodating. Communication throughout was brilliant and Angus loved his time there with Tina and her two boys... maybe a bit too much as he didn't want to leave when I went to pick him up! I would highly recommend Tina.
Tina recently looked after my mum’s dog George for 2 weeks . She wanted to meet George prior to his stay which was a big help as he then felt less anxious when she picked him up to take him to her home. She asked about his likes and dislikes etc . When I collected him after his stay he looked very happy around Tina and she said he’d been really good and had got on very well with her dogs. Being an elderly dog she allowed him to sleep on the floor by the side of her bed and he slept all night.Tina is a lovely kind lady who clearly loves dogs. I would definitely recommend Tina and would 100% let her look after George again . I’m just so glad I chose her 😃
Taylor was great. We organised a meet and greet before the boarding booking, which was really helpful as Scramble can be a bit nervous. All went to plan with our booking, Taylor sent photos so we knew Scramble was enjoying himself. He was happy and tail wagging on collection. Thank you!!
