I had a pre meet with Julie which was good. I felt Buddy was in safe hands and a prefect setting throughout his stay (walled secure garden & near open fields and woods), and I received daily updates. Julie was keen to understand all Buddy's needs and to try and continue the same input, discipline and rules he has at home. Feedback was excellent and I had a good debrief session when I went to collect Buddy. I would definitely use Julie again and I would recommend her.

Tom and Ayushi (and Leo of course) have been so kind, warm and welcoming Milo into their home. Their home is lovely with such a huge garden for the dogs to play! The communication has been amazing with frequent updates. Milo has had the best time playing with Leo and I am sure he will be back soon! Could not recommend these both enough!! Also the puppy pics were absolutely adorable!

Danielle had our sprocker Murphy over night for the first time this week and he seemed to settle really well. We had photos and messages updating us on how Murphy was getting on. I’d use Danielle for future overnight stays and dog walking. Thank you Danielle

Martin and his partner looked after Paolo really well and gave regular updates. I was happy to find someone who loves dogs. He’d read all the information I’d written about Paolo and Paolo settled very quickly. I feel confident that Paolo is well cared for and safe. Paolo is already booked in for his next stay. Thank you

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.

Helen and Andy were absolutely amazing with our dog, Kobe! This was Kobe’s first time staying away from home, so we were a bit nervous— especially since he’s an energetic miniature cockapoo, but they made the entire experience really good and reassuring. From the start, it was clear they were both experienced with handling high-energy dogs. Kobe instantly took to them, which says a lot. They kept him active, engaged, and happy the whole time, and we could tell he was getting plenty of attention and care. We also really appreciated the regular updates—they gave us peace of mind knowing Kobe was doing great and having fun (especially playing with Bonnie!). We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Helen and Andy again! Thank you!

About: I have had dogs all my life and love everything about dogs. I recently lost my Spaniel and miss the sound of paws in the house, cuddles on the sofa and muddy walks so would love to look after some of your gorgeous dogs to get my fill whilst we don't currently have a dog. I have a lovely fenced garden and plenty of space in the house which was designed with dogs in mind. I am very close to a lot of dog walks of which I know really well so can adjust length according to your dog walking requirements. My little girl is 4.5 and very able to handle herself around dogs but I wouldn't accept any dog that is nervous around children or has a history of being aggressive towards children. I do work part-time but work from home with just a Wednesday were I am out of the house but my partner works from home that day so there will always be someone at home and he has also had dogs all his life. There may be few occasions when your dog may be left alone but never for longer than a couple of hours but they would need to be comfortable with this. If you have any questions please drop me a message as I am new to this so may not have added everything you would like to know. My partner would walk your dog in the morning between 7am-8am. Until September I have my little girl with me on Mondays and Fridays and during these days we often go out walking or down to the allotment both of which your dog can enjoy with us. On the other days I will walk with them for easily an hour but less if your dog doesn't need or want this much activity. I have a fenced garden and a open plan kitchen/diner. We don't currently have a dog at home having lost our Spaniel so your dog would be the only dog and have all of our attention.

Albie had a fabulous stay with Julie and Tim . We approached them last minute after our booking was cancelled and they truly went out of their way to help out and work around a trip that they were going on. They welcomed Albie into their home as their own and kept us updated even though it was a short visit. It was a home from home experience for Albie and I would definitely feel happy to leave Albie in their care again 😊

I was really nervous about leaving my Pug Peach with anyone whilst we went on a family holiday. I needn’t have worried. Helen was absolutely amazing from the very beginning. Clear communication, and super friendly. I appreciated the constant communication, and videos and pictures, it helped me relax and enjoy my time, knowing peach was in great hands. Peach had a wonderful time, she fit straight in and was treated as a part of the family, including all the belly tickles she could want. She came home just as happy as when we left her. I would not hesitate to send peach for a holiday with Helen again. Thank you so much ❤️

Lorna took great care of our two dogs for a 3 night sitting at her house. They had several walks a day, lots of love from the whole family and were clearly very comfortable there. Great to now have someone we trust locally to care for our girls if we need it.

Alexandra and Luke were lovely. Treated Ed and Aherla like family. Aherla can be a anxious dog but she took straight to Luke and settled down. Ed took to Alex and became a puppy again. A couple of issues at night as they have never stayed away overnight, but alex and luke handled them with no problem. Would 100% book them to look after Ed and Aherla or any future fur babies we have.

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.
