“Michelle has been wonderful with our dog Barrie. Plenty of updates for anxious owners leaving their dog for the 1st time. Needn't have worried Barrie was sad to leave them. Would highly recommend.”


About: I've always had dogs in my life. I lost two elderly dogs last year and so badly miss having dogs . I dog sit for our friends dogs whenever possible, but would like to open our home to more. More cuddles, more walks, more mess and more craziness. If you have a dog who needs close attention and wants to feel secure, I can give that care. If your dog needs long walks, I would love that. Our two dogs became infirm when they were old. If you dog needs extra care as an elderly dog, I have the experience. I hold dog-care insurance. I work part time from home. No routine as such, so I can fit around what your dog needs. Some days are quiet and other days include a long walk and play. We have a large, fenced, dog friendly garden which is completely secure. We have good living space with room for a dog crate, if that is your preference. Your dog will have plenty of room, inside and out. Plus my bed to sleep on, if that is what they like.
“Danielle was fantastic with our doggo Stanley. She was really friendly, easy to communicate with, and clearly great with him. We felt completely at ease leaving Stan in her care and would happily book with her again. Highly recommended!”

“Robyn and Chloe really seem to have enjoyed their time with Alex and Luke. Plenty of pictures and updates sent to let us know how they were getting on, will definitely look to book again when we next need them taking care of.”

“Ted has really enjoyed his overnight stay with Tomasz and Ayushi and his small pal Leo. They pampered him and really welcomed him in their house and garden. Definitely highly recommended for their help and attention to Ted's needs sending regular updates and videos while he stayed over. Thank you for having Ted he says Woof woof (thanks)”

“My Boston Terrier, Jerry, has only been seeing Ivans for a short while, and already he’s coming on leaps and bounds. He’s doing better on his lead, he’s doing better with his reactivity, and Ivans has been a huge support in helping me to learn how to help Jerry. It feels like he wants to set Jerry up for success, which is hugely positive. This time I had to travel last minute, and Ivans had Jerry at his home for me. I was worried, and he eased my worries. My surprise at seeing photos of Jerry happy around other dogs… walking next to other dogs… it was amazing. Usually he is… a challenge around other dogs, to say the least, but Ivans knows exactly how Jerry’s mind works and is able to work magic! I would highly, highly recommend, especially to people like myself whose dogs need some training support! Right now, Jerry is happily curled up calm and sleeping, which is a blessing in itself!”

“Emily was absolutely brilliant. Very polite, respectful and an all around brilliant host for my little doggo. She takes into consideration your needs - I asked for regular photo updates and she didn't fail to do so whatsoever. I would definitely recommend Emily and without a shadow of a doubt will be booking with her again.”

“Our dog Harvey had an amazing time staying with Helen. He made friends with Helen's pup Bonnie and they had great walks. Helen kept us well informed and sent pictures and videos on how he got on! He will definitely look forward to staying again 😊 thanks Helen!”

“River has had the best of times. Pearl is a lovely person and she really cared for River and treated her like her own. She kept me updated, sent photos and videos during the stay. Nothing was too much for her. I can thoroughly recommend Pearl to anyone.”


“Melissa was absolutely brilliant. I am always nervous leaving Finley with new people but you could see he was immediately comfortable with her. We received lots of gorgeous updates and you could see how happy and relaxed he was in her home. We would not hesitate in using Melissa again. Thank you!”

“Charlie & her partner were a lovely couple & so accommodating with the set up of a meet & great to check boo was OK with their dog Red. They got on great as Red is so mild mannered & think boo has a new buddy. We were sent pictures and regular updates to put us at ease. Boo was a happy lad when we picked him up after being spoilt with fussing, walks and lots of care. Would definitely recommend & will be using Charlie again. Aswell have an extra sense of comfort knowing our dog is being looked after by such an animal oriented person, not just in personality but in a formal sense of her occupation/education. Top notch dog carer”

“Rebecca was brilliant with our little Shih Tzu Daisy. Excellent communication throughout and I’m pretty certain Daisy wasn’t that bothered about coming home - she’d had such a nice time!”

About: Hello I’m Clare and me and my family love dogs, I have been around dogs all my life, therefore I am very experienced with handling a variety of dogs, we don’t currently have any dogs of our own, so we would love to look after yours! We live on the most amazing large very peaceful non working farm, so we have lot's of land for your dog to enjoy the wide-open space to explore and play. We also love to go on long walks as we are surrounded by the most amazing countryside. We are happy to welcome most dogs from small to large but they must be child friendly and happy with a cat being in the house who is super chilled around dogs. We promise that your dog will be treat as part of the family and will be well looked after during its stay with us. I’m always home and always available as I work from home, so your dog will have constant companionship, supervision, and care throughout their stay. I can offer consistent attention when it comes to meal times, toilet breaks, walks, and playtime, and am happy to follow a reliable, calm routine if required. Your dog’s safety is my top priority, our house is a non working farm and offers plenty of open space to roam under constant supervision. I ensure all areas are dog-proofed, free from hazards, and perfect for play, rest, and exploration.
About: I provide reliable, relaxed and loving care that helps pets feel safe and happy while you’re away. As an active person who loves walking, hiking and spending time outdoors, your dog will enjoy plenty of fresh air, stimulation and gentle exercise suited to their needs. I am patient, calm, and attentive. I understand routines, boundaries, and the importance of keeping pets comfortable in their own environment. I also have experience with puppies, supporting consistent routines and positive behaviours, as well as older dogs, making sure they're handled with care, comfort, and gentleness. You can expect clear communication, regular updates, and lots of photos. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family, making sure they feel loved, secure, and well looked after. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I’m a dog owner myself, so walks, playtime, and being outdoors are already a big part of my day. I’m out walking regularly and love being active, so fitting in additional walks or visits is easy and enjoyable for me. I work hybrid, which gives me flexibility throughout the week to do drop-ins or walks during the day. I’m also off on weekends and bank holidays, so I have plenty of time to give pets extra attention, longer walks, and consistent care when owners are away. Safety and trust are at the heart of how I care for pets. Since I have my own dog, I offer safe, enjoyable walks and outdoor time in my local area. I have a fenced garden, which provides a secure space for dogs to relax before or after walks. There are also lots of green areas, parks, and walking paths near my home, giving dogs plenty of space to explore, play, and enjoy the outdoors in a calm and natural environment. I always make sure each dog is walked safely, using secure leads, following their usual routines, and keeping a close eye on their comfort and behaviour. I take things at their pace whether they enjoy energetic walks, gentle strolls, or plenty of sniffing.
“A real home from home for Ridley! Carol & Simon are so caring and really enjoy having Ridley to stay. You couldn’t wish for better people to look after your best friend.”

“Martin was brilliant had never left our dog with anyone other than family she is very people oriented and felt a dog sitter was the only option. Martin invited both me and my dog to come see his home and meet him before confirming the booking. Kept us consistently updated on how she was and left us feeling very reassured that our fury little family member was in safe hands.”

“Clare was absolutely amazing with Bella, I'm not sure she wanted to come home after her week with Clare. I got lots of photos and videos while I was away and nothing was too much trouble for her when it came to my spoilt pooch. Will definitely book her again. 6/5 if I could.”

About: I’ve looked after dogs of every kind for many years and had my own dogs for as long as I can remember. I’m experienced with large and small dogs of every breed, so I’m very hands on and experienced. I’ve bred my own dogs to a high health standard following strict regulations in order to protect the breed. I previously was the manager for a daycare centre for dogs and this consisted of me looking after various owners dogs on a daily basis for the full day. The dogs that came to our daycare were all of different breeds, different sizes and different ages. I also had many of these dogs board with me in my own home when owners required overnight stays. Nowadays I work from home and my partner also assists with dog boarding. We love to be out walking and doing anything outdoors. We live in a 3 bedroom house and have a secure back garden. We have no children. We can cater for any individual needs that your dog may have. When your pets are staying with us we want to make the environment as loving and cosy as possible. They will get plenty of attention, exercise and cuddles! Any normally routines that your dog has we’re more than to stick to. I have 10 acres of land near my home and these fields provide a safe, private environment for me to walk dogs, either on lead or off lead away from the distractions of other people and other dogs should your dog require a solo walk. I currently work from home and my partner works part time. There is always someone at home at some point during the day so we can look after your dog between us and ensure your dog is loked after to the highest standard. I have a secure back garden and I also have a French bulldog of my own. In my house the dogs are allowed on the sofa and on the bed if they so wish, to me they are a member of the family when they set foot in my house.

What a fantastic experience for my German short-haired pointer Murphy. Tomasz and his wife looked after Murphy gor 5 nights nothing was too much trouble and I was updated constantly with photographs and videos of Murphy enjoying his walks and playing with Leo Tomasz dog. I would definitely have Murphy stay with this lovely couple again and can recommend them 100%. They treat Murphy has if he was their own dog Thank you

Barry looked after our Barney. He kept us informed on how he was setting in. He sent us regular photos as well. It was a real home from home . We would definitely ask Barry to look after Barney for us again. We definitely recommend Barry to look after your 4 legged friends.

My dogs stayed with Emily while I was on holiday for a week and they loved it! They’re very different dogs - a Labrador puppy and an 11 year old pug / Jack Russell mix, both with their individual needs. They’ve never stayed anywhere outside of family members houses, but they had a great time and Emily took them out every day, sending regular updates so I knew they were well looked after.
