“Laura and Kevin are very kind, caring and attentive dog boarders. My 2 dogs stayed with them for 11 nights and I received updates at minimum twice daily everyday and any questions raised were responded to quickly. They are both willing to go the extra mile to make sure the dogs the comfortable e.g. bathing my dog with warm water, cos it was cold, when he rolled himself in fox poo. Laura will always ask before doing anything different with the dogs e.g. introducing them to new people or dogs. I 100% recommend Laura and Kevin!!”

“Max had a fantastic time staying with Kevin, Denise and their lovely children for the week. He was given all the attention, exercise and time to play that he needed and is used to. We got regular updates, photos and videos that showed us how he was getting on and what he was up to which was really helpful. They were considerate to our instructions and wishes in regards to Max's routine and needs which was highly appreciated. All in all a very successful stay. Would definitely recommend! 😁👍”

“Natalia and her partner were a very big help with my new puppy. She provided a great service and took very good care of my pup with patience and regular updates and pictures. Thank you!”

“Gabriella was honestly so lovely with my dog. From the start, she made sure he was comfortable and settled, and I could tell he felt really safe with her. She sent me updates while I was away, which I really appreciated (especially as an anxious dog mum). When I picked him up, he was happy, relaxed, and even smelled really nice! Which says a lot about how well she looked after him. You can tell she genuinely cares and puts in the effort. I’d 100% book her again and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable and kind to look after their dog!!”

“Daria took care of our little dog over Easter. She was fantastic! Daria sent regular videos and photographs to let us know he was doing well - he came home very happy. Wouldn’t hesitate to leave him with her again!”

“We’ve just had our dog stay with Andrew and Shizu for the first time, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for more. They are such a lovely couple and treated our Ozzie as if he were their own. We received regular updates while we were on holiday, which was so reassuring and lovely to see. Ozzie looked so comfy and they were accommodating to his neediness. They’re absolutely perfect we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them! Millie they’re cute Cavalier is also super friendly. 💛🐾”

“I had a great experience with Irene as a dog sitter. She was very welcoming from the start and seemed genuinely attentive to Bam Bam’s needs. Her home was clean, calm, and spacious, which instantly gave me confidence that he would be well looked after in a safe and comfortable environment. I really appreciated her warmth and professionalism — I’d definitely recommend her and would happily use her again!”

“Scooby had amazing time staying with Ferdinand and family. They all were very caring and lovely towards Scooby. Scooby was well taken care of and had the best time. I felt stress free and relieved every time I received an update. They sent regular photos, videos and updates about Scooby. I highly recommend Ferdinand and would use their care for Scooby again.”

“We are so lucky to have found Léa. We have been able to have a great holiday knowing that Eddie is being loved and looked after so well. Léa listened carefully to all of his needs and how he likes to spend his day. The daily updates with photos and videos gave us peace of mind especially as this was the first time he has been with people other than his family. We cannot recommend Léa enough! Thank you 🤎”

“Mauricio and his family were fantastic! They looked after our Marley so well and constantly kept us updated on how he was doing. They even shared some presents with him on Christmas Day, it meant we could relax whilst we weee away! Thank you!”

“Ian and Lyn were absolutely amazing with Scruffy. This was the first time we have used a sitter and were naturally anxious about leaving him, he is in his senior years and has some health issues. From the moment Ian replied to my request my concerns disappeared. He was very understanding and kindly invited us to a meet up beforehand. Scruffy instantly felt at home and we were reassured as Ian and Lyn couldn't have been more caring towards Scruffy. On his stay they welcomed him into their home and he instantly settled in. They kept us updated throughout the day and sent photos to reassure us. We cannot thank them enough for the kindness and caring they gave and would have no hesitation in recommending them or rebooking with them again. They are truly one in a million.”

“Cannot recommend Courtney enough! Cassie was happy and relaxed straight away and Courtney took such great care of her, providing us with regular updates and photos which put our mind at ease whilst we were away knowing Cassie was well looked after. Will definitely be booking again for our next holiday”

“I am so happy my precious pup was with Jodie and her family for a week. She was spoiled every day and treated like part of the family. Lots of games, cuddles and fuss. Jodie is lovely - Couldn’t thank you more ❤️ sugar will defo be returning xx”

“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.”

“We would definitely use Lilly’s services again. Correspondence was fab and the meet and greet we had before Riley’s overnight stay instantly put us at ease that Riley was going to be well looked after.”

“Absolutely thrilled with Katrina once again! She looked after my puppy Roxy for two nights and was nothing short of amazing. This is the second time I've trusted her with Roxy, and I couldn't be happier. Katrina provided constant updates and adorable pictures, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. Roxy absolutely adores Katrina and her husband—they're both such warm, caring, and genuine people. One of the most telling signs of how comfortable Roxy is with them is that she actually ate her food while she was there—something she never does unless she feels truly safe and at ease. I can't recommend Katrina highly enough. She's thoughtful, reliable, and clearly loves animals. Roxy and I are so lucky to have found her!”

Daria took care of our beloved Labrador, Zuko, for 10 days. It was our first time leaving him with someone outside of friends and family, so naturally we were a bit nervous. Daria completely put our minds at ease from day one. She sent regular photo and video updates, and Zuko looked so happy and settled the whole time. It was incredibly comforting to see how well he was doing. You can tell she genuinely loves and understands dogs. I’d absolutely recommend Daria: she’s kind, friendly, and clearly a true pet lover. We’ll definitely be leaving Zuko with her again!

Sukritee was absolutely amazing with my dog. From the very beginning, she was incredibly thoughtful and detail-oriented, asking about his daily routine, toilet breaks, and how many treats he should have, which immediately made us feel confident leaving him in her care. Throughout our time away, she kept us continuously and timely updated about how he was doing, which gave us tremendous peace of mind. She is extremely kind, warm, and genuinely loves animals, and it truly shows in the way she cares for them. Communication with her was effortless, and she went above and beyond to make sure our pet was happy and comfortable. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would highly recommend Sukritee to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and compassionate! 🐶💛

Loretta looked after our boy Dodge overnight. We arranged a visit before hand to meet, discuss arrangements and see if it was a good fit. Loretta and her family were warm and welcoming and Dodge took to them right away. We were so happy with the care, attention and affection Loretta showed Dodge and he settled well. We were kept up to date regularly with pictures and videos. We wouldn't hesitate to use Loretta to look after our noy again

It was my first time leaving Luna with someone else outside my family, she had great time with Bilqees and her family. They are all very friendly people and they know how to make sure that your beloved pet is safe and have fun. Thank you so much for being there to support us!

Billie looked after my adorable Teddy (pomapoo) for two weeks whilst we were away on holiday. I was very anxious about leaving my Teddy as he hasn’t previously been left with anyone he hasn’t known. However, he loved it there and settled in so well. I received daily pictures and videos of Teddy whilst I was away. I felt reassured knowing he was being looked after so well. He looked happy and was having a holiday of his own. Good communication throughout booking process and during his stay. I will defo be booking again with Billie. Thanks again for looking after Teddy.
