“Absolutely fantastic! Regular updates with photos. Knew Ernie was in safe hands. Was late picking up due to car issues, and was no problem. Would highly recommend.”


2. Kevin & Denise D.

“Thomas had an amazing stay with Kevin and his Family. Kevin provided updates and photos which we loved as Thomas is only 6 months old and this was his first board. Kevin took Thomas out on regular walks and is a hit with his children so had plenty of playtime. We can really be at ease when Thomas is with them and know that he is being well looked after. We are very thankful.”


3. Daria Y.

“I can't thank you enough for taking such great care of Yoshi! Your regular updates with videos and photos gave me complete peace of mind, and it was clear that Yoshi was happy and well looked after. Your attention to detail and care made all the difference. I highly recommend your services to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”


4. Lauren p.
“No one knows dogs like Lauren; she has grown up with dogs her entire life and has her own; so there is nothing more suited to her than caring for more! Recommending Lauren as a responsible and loving pet caregiver is a no brainer, she is the perfect choice!!!”


5. Lea C.

“Lea and Lucas are the best dog-sitters! They have taken such an amazing care of our two dogs while we were away on holidays. Every day we received lots of photos and updates how their day was. I couldn’t be more grateful to have found them ?”


6. Lilly M.

“Lilly is the perfect sitter. Our dog hurt his paw badly and Lilly cared for him as though he was her own pet, going above and beyond. I have 100% trust in the care Lilly gives and she is a true professional. I would have no hesitation in leaving our dog with her again in the future. Thank you for making Buddy's stay as comfortable as possible.”


7. Isabella T.
About: Hi, I’m Isabella! I’m originally from Italy, where every home feels complete with a dog. Growing up, I was always surrounded by dogs, and they’ve been a big part of my life ever since. Now, I have one dog of my own—Sunny. She’s a bubbly, happy pup who loves park walks… when she feels like it! On rainy days, she’s perfectly content to lounge around like the lazy little queen she is. I adore dogs of all breeds, sizes, and colors. To me, they truly are our best friends—a belief I’ve held my whole life. I’m available anytime for a good walk or some playtime. Sunny would love a new friend to join us, especially one who speaks her language! Sunny and I will make sure your pup is cared for and loved like family. I am a master’s student, so I’m home most of the time attending online classes, and having some furry company sounds like a wonderful idea. I have a fenced garden where pets can play freely and I offer full walks with energetic Sunny. I provide a safe, secure environment with plenty of outdoor adventures, personalized care, and constant supervision to ensure your dog feels trusted, comfortable, and loved at all times.


8. Katrina R.

“I can't thank Katrina enough. This was a last minute booking and the first time I had left my dog with anyone. She sent me updates on how he was doing unabling me to have a relaxing break. Katrina was so accommodating with my request for picking him up and dropping him off, (even though my journey home was later than I anticipated and the weather awful). Next time I need someone to look after my dog I will not hesitate in contacting her. Thank you Katrina.”


9. Jodie C.
“Jodie is the most loyal person u could ever meet x I’ve known Jodie since a very young age and ages always been that lovely well behaved young lady x always the first to be there if needed x always the first to volunteer any help to someone x can. Never do enough x”


10. Lynn B.

“What can I say about two perfect dog sitters, Lynn and her husband were so welcoming to Hugo with their two dogs that we had no worries about leaving him. When we returned he was so happy that we can’t thank them enough. Their love of dogs is amazing, what can we say. Thank you!!”


11. Bilqees W.

“What can I say from start to finish Bilqees has been absolutely amazing, quick and friendly in communication and from the beginning I felt reassured that Ziggy was going to stay in a happy and welcome family home. Upon arrival Ziggy was a bit feisty with the other dogs but Bilqees and her husband reassured me she’d be fine and she was settled in no time and that same evening I already received my first update included a few pics. Throughout our vacation Bilqees kept us posted with lots of great pictures and at the end when I arrived to pick her up I was met with a very happy and content dog. Thank you so much Bilqees for giving Ziggy such a great week, any dog is lucky to stay with you and your family.”


12. Sharon R.

“It was the first time that we had needed to leave Coco with someone other than family and was feeling very anxious about leaving her, but after meeting Sharon & Ellie before hand we felt very comfortable about leaving her. Coco had a lovely time and was looked after like she was their own. Coco also got on well with Lula their adorable Cockerpoo. We will definitely use them again. Thanks so much for caring for her.”


13. Chloe P.

“Chloe was amazing! My wheaten terrier has hyper attachment to me and separation anxiety due to our lifestyle meaning he's never left alone. Chloe made him and me feel completely at ease and is obviously a true professional not to mention a really lovely lady. Will definitely use Chloes services again and recommend to anybody.”


14. Marianna B.

“Fantastic! Made me feel comfortable and confident leaving my dog.. Luna came home very happy and well exercised ♥️ highly recommend, thank you”


15. Emma M.

“Emma made you feel comfortable immediately you walked in. Leaving our puppy for the first time was stressful but I could tell Bruce felt at home straight away and that he was going to be really spoilt. We were kept informed during the day with messages and a video. You could see straight away he as happy. Thank you Emma”


16. Megan E.

“We are so pleased that we found Megan and Dan on here! I can not recommend them enough! This was the first time leaving our dog, however, from the meet and greet Megan made me feel so comfortable, I knew I had nothing to worry about. They offer a lovely accommodating home and our dog didn’t look back! We had daily updates and photos which was really lovely for our children. Ozzy came home happy and clean so I know he was very well looked after. I can’t thank them enough for opening their home to him and making it all such a stress/guilt free experience for us! Thank you Megan and Dan!”


17. Nyasha A.

“Nyasha was outstanding with our puppy Nova. Nova boarded for 4 nights whilst we went on holiday. Nyasha kept us updated with pictures and videos of Nova having fun, playing with her dog Maxi, going on walks, eating, sleeping and her general day to day activities. We were so impressed with Nyasha and the way in which she cared for Nova. We highly recommend Nyasha whether your furry friend requires day care or over night boarding. We will certainly be using Nyasha again in the future. Thank you for looking after Nova so well, we really appreciated it.”


18. Valeryia D.
“Val absolutely adores dogs because they embody unconditional love and joy. She finds so much happiness in their playful nature and loyalty. Dogs have a unique ability to brighten her day, and she loves the way they bring people together. Whether it’s taking long walks or just cuddling at home, her connection with dogs is a beautiful reflection of her caring and compassionate spirit.”


19. Ferdinand C.

“Ferdinand and his family were incredible and even sent videos of Bear which made me feel at ease. Amazing service would use again ☺️”


20. Jordan C.
“Jordan is my son. He has grown up with animals. From an early age he showed care and concern for our pets. They have brought him much joy. He has always been kind, caring and gentle with animals. He has boundless energy and endless patience. He will make a very good care giver for anyone's pet. He has a nice home with big garden. Jordan works from home so is able to care for a pet's needs and they will not be left alone for long periods.”
