“Maggie had a fantastic time with Claire and her family. We felt very comfortable with Maggie in their home - there’s a lovely secure garden too, which is perfect. Plus she had lots of sofa snuggles! We’ll definitely be booking her in again.”


2. Paige M.

“I can not recommend Paige and family enough! Nellie has had the most amazing over night stay with them, they were so kind and patient with her when she was a little unsure at first. Paige kept me updated all day and Nellie settled so well with them, she was treated like one of their own. Nellie can’t wait to come back again soon!”


3. Tomasz O.

“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)”


4. Rebecca S.

“Becca was fab! So nice and friendly, more than happy for us to meet with her before we left out dog, and our puppy was so happy to spend time with her. We got lots of pictures and updates whilst we were away and we felt comfortable leaving our dog with her. Really recommend”

6. Clare E.

“Clare was fantastic, the perfect choice to look after our little cockapoo. It’s obvious she loves and knows dogs and what they need. She went out of her way to work with us to provide the perfect routine and home from home for our precious Flora. With lots of pictures and videos she sent us we could see Flora was very happy. Many thanks Clare. We won’t hesitate to get in touch again if Flora needs looking after.”


7. Lauren J.

“Lauren provided exceptional care for my dog while I was away for a week. My furry friend was not only well looked after but also visibly happy and content upon my return. Lauren's attention to detail, love for animals, and dedication to their well-being truly shines through in her dog sitting service. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of a trustworthy and caring dog sitter.”

“Izabella looked after the dog well, over a 5 day period while we were abroad. Sent me lots of pics of feeds and walks as well as regular updates. Thanks again for looking after our Murphy so well.”


9. Ádám & Emira S.

“Thank you so much Adam and family for looking after Charlie last week. He had a blast and loved every minute. I don't think he's had so much attention and play time. Thank you for sending pictures and videos! It gave me a relief that he was looked after, especially as it was his first time away from home and me! I'll definitely be contacting you again. Thank you once again and enjoy your upcoming holiday ?”


10. Liv B.

“Liv has been absolutely fantastic. She took the time to meet us before hand, our dog can be a bit funny, we got regular updates over the weekend and she was incredible when our flight got delayed, really helpful. Would highly recommend.”


11. Emily M.
“Emily cares for our little Jack Russell Jessie when we go away. It's home from home for Jessie. Emily provides her with all the comfort she's used to along with exercise, fun, love and care that she would receive at home. We feel confident that Jessie is well looked after in Emily's care.”


12. Helen M.
“We have used Helen several times over the last 3 years and I would not hesitate in recommending her to anyone. It's like home from home for our Cockapoo, Charlie. He never looks back when we drop him with Helen and when we return to pick him up, it's like we've never left him. When he is with Helen, he is part of her family and gets along fine with her 2 dogs. She is a very nice person and very accommodating.”


13. Carol & Simon Z.

“This was our 3rd time leaving Alfie with Carol and we do not want to use anyone else! Carol is absolutely amazing with Alfie, he is always a happy boy when we pick him up because he’s been spoilt rotten the entire weekend! She really does treat them like they are her own and we can’t thank her enough for the amount of care and love she has towards our fur baby. Thank you again, Alfie adores you 💗”


14. Taylor S.

“Absolutely lovely couple who clearly care about dogs. Their own dog is awesome and friendly. Our dogs were looked after perfectly, we knew this from plenty updated, photos and videos. Definitely recommend 100%”

16. Kieran L. & Natasha C.

“They are the most lovely couple who love dogs and know how to look after them. Nothing is too much trouble. They also gave me some very useful suggestions for my puppy. A lot of pictures were taken. My puppy looked so happy and healthy during boarding. Thanks both for doing such a great job! I will definitely return when needed.”

“Thank you so much for taking care of Jet. Caitlin provided us with lots of updates and photos so we knew that Jet was getting on well. And his review was clear when he didn't want to leave! Thanks again”


18. Oliver D.

“Oliver put us at ease from the first message. We had a pre stay visit and felt comfortable from the moment we met Oliver and Zoe. Communication has been fantastic throughout and the pictures really put us at ease. Picked the dogs up and they looked extremely happy. So highly recommended, we've booked their next stay already :)”
