“Needed a dog sitter at short notice after being let down at the last minute a few days before we went on holiday. We could not have asked for better as Crystal & her family made our Roxy feel so at home. Had daily updates & photo's which was very reassuring. I would high recomend Crystal as I found her very caring & professional.”
“Our Autumn 🍂 went to mels today , she was so spoilt and was treated like their baby .. 3 walks today abd even went to Pets at Home and mel bought her a toy .. Autumn has fallen in lucky with mel and im so blessed with findin mel, and her gorgeous husband josh ❤️”
“Michelle was a fabulous host! When I dropped our dog Lili, she warmly welcomed us and I could instantly tell she is a true dog lover and Lili will have a great time. Michelle sent me daily updates during Lili’s stay. I cannot recommend Michelle enough. I will definitely ask Michelle to look after Lili again in the future.”
“Georgia was absolutely amazing with Ronnie! He is my whole heart, so I was naturally worried leaving him when his eyes and ears haven't been great, on top of managing the heat. But Georgia treated him like her own from start to finish. She kept me updated with lovely photos and videos, kept his eyes and ears so clean, and Ronnie had a lush time with her lovely dog, they got on amazingly well! Knowing my boy was in such loving, capable hands meant everything to me. Highly recommend and will 100% book again!”
“Oliver has been such a wonderful dog sitter! Flexible, super responsive, kind and so generosity with our dogs. I’m especially grateful given the last minute booking, we will definitely be using Oliver again. Cooper and Molly are especially grateful for the chicken filled trip to the cafe.”
“Anna and family were brillisnt with our anxious dog Coco. They really put her at ease, provided lots of exercise and regular updates. She even had some free professional photographs. I will definitely be using Anna again.”
“I was a bit worried about leaving Myloe but he seemed at home at the meet and greet and when we dropped him off. Judging by the photos he seemed to enjoy himself especially with the children. However as Myloe is quite sensitive he did stress as he rarely away from at least one of us and had several accidents. Full marks to Amy who took everything in her stride and let us know how things were going. Thanks Amy for looking after him, trying to destress him and what probably felt like endless mopping up. Myloe came back happy from his holiday and we felt reassured he was being looked after well”

“Helen did a wonderful job looking after our dog, Hollie, for a few days over Christmas. She was caring, reliable, and clearly attentive to Hollie’s needs and sending several photos of Hollie out and about on walks. We felt completely at ease knowing Hollie was in good hands, and it was clear she was well looked after and happy when we returned. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Helen and would be very happy to ask her to look after Hollie again.”

We would highly recommend Lucy and her family, they really did treat our Alfie as one of their own! What a stunning family! X”

“Ana is fantastic! My cat Izzy never comes down the stairs to anyone she doesn't know but Ana is the exception. I don't think my cats were happy that it was us that walked through the door instead of Ana when we got back. Highly recommend”
“A very kind, reliable & lovely person/sitter. Was updated with vids & pics after missing my cat so much! Followed my instructions to perfection and left the flat in great condition as my cat is known to mess things up 🤣 Highly recommend 👌 Thanks Ying!”
“Ieva was fantastic from first meeting, she didn't force herself on the cats. Really asked all about them and their habits and likes/dislikes so when she came to visit she could spend the time doing exactly what they liked. Would 100% recommend and rebook.”
“Once again Tracey and Julian did a great job at looking after my cats (and plants). The cats were happy and relaxed, including my shy cat who is afraid of people. I received a reliable stream of pictures and videos. Highly recommend sitters!”
“Melanie was amazing. Took such good care of our two mogs and sent the most heart warming updates. She really made our trip away worry free, they were in such good hands and I am already trying to rebook with her and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her. Thoughtful, kind and very nurturing of our fur babies. Melanie was fantastic.”
“I am extremely happy with the care Claudia provided for my cat. She did an outstanding job and went above and beyond everything I asked. My cat is usually very stressed when we are away, but this time he was calm, relaxed, and clearly very happy. I have had other cat sitters before, but none compare to Claudia. I highly recommend her.😍”

“Megan was wonderful with Jarvis. She kept me updated throughout with regular photos and messages, which was really reassuring. Jarvis is a nervous cat, but he was comfortable enough around Megan to let her give him his medication, which as a cat with epilepsy is really important. Would recommend her and would happily book again. Thank you Meg 😊”
“Georgia ,was kind enough to step in at minutes notice to look after Bill and Ted .she went above and beyond caring for them including cleaning up a poorly bills cat sick ! And his thank you gift of a mouse ! I honestly cannot recommend her enough .I am definitely calling on her services again .Carey edwards”
“Krisztina was amazing! She came and attended to my cats as booked but went above and beyond when my cats tipped over their water bowl later in the week and it needed sorting. She was there within the hour to sort. 100% the best. Reliable, caring and trustworthy. Thank you! xx”
“Hannah made us feel so reassured our cat was safe and in good hands a followed our fussy food instructions perfectly. Our cat is normally timid around new people but took a liking to Hannah straight away and we know this because she only ‘boops’ strangers hands with her nose for scritches when she likes and trusts you. Hannah kept us updated with photos and videos and we could tell from our cats behaviour she was happy to see Hannah. We would highly recommend Hannah and will continue to book her in future.”
“We have been using Aimee for a couple of weeks now, and she’s been nothing short of amazing with our two little babies! Keeps us updated with pics and gives us a little message on how their day went. Very thorough with what dates she can do, and lets us know well in advance days she can’t do. Thank you so much Aimee for looking after our little ones.”

“Anna has looked after Coheed a few times for me, she regularly updates with some of the best pictures. He is very content and always takes a nap on the way home, which to me is a sign of a happy and worn out doggo!”
“Brilliant. We got to meet up with Karen the week before we left splodge with her for the day. She really looked after splodge and adapted her routine to splodge's needs. Will definitely use again. Lovely lady.”
“We have a senior dog that didn't have the best start in life and has always had a distrust of people she dosnt know. We have just done a test run and left oliver to look after her for a day. We are amazed that she was so happy and content with a complete stranger. We now can plan other days out knowing our needy dog is being well looked after. Thank you Oliver, we will be booking your services again.”
“Tina was able to help us out with our last minute request Bella. Tina saw quickly that we weren’t local so a meet and greet beforehand wasn’t possible Therefore she suggested a phone call so we were able to introduce ourselves, tell her about Bella and ask any questions. Having had that call with Tina we felt confident that all would be fine. On meeting Tina outside her house our good impressions from the call were immediately confirmed. Tina obviously has a deep love for dogs and knows how to care for them - we wouldn’t hesitate to contact her again if we had a similar need and would recommend her wholeheartedly. Bella enjoyed her time and was very relaxed ..,and we enjoyed talking to Tina and her family..”
“Teddy has stayed with Sam a couple of times and absolutely loves it! I booked again at short notice this week and thankfully Sam was free. Teddy had a blast playing with her dogs and was shattered when he got home. He's looking forward to the next stay already!”
“This was Bella's first time with a dog sitter. She seemed to absolutely love spending the day with Luna and Wayne and arrived home ready for bed. Wayne kept me up to date with photos and videos during the day. It was lovely and very reassuring to see Bella and Luna having such fun but also the pics of downtime and cuddles. I would highly recommend Wayne, he was knowledgeable, kind and very attentive to Bella's needs.”
“Katherine is amazing. We have a 14 week old puppy Ralph who has stayed with Katherine a few times. He absolutely loves it there, I always know he is well looked after and getting lots of fuss. It’s like a home from home for him. I will be continuing to use Katherine to look after Ralph and I highly recommend her. She’s easy to communicate with and also sends you daily photos and updates.”
About: I adore dogs. I have experience caring for a wide range of breeds, from large dogs like Great Danes, Bloodhounds and Lurchers to smaller breeds such as Chihuahuas and, now, my own French Bulldogs who I co-parent with a family member. So my dogs are with me twice a month. My father brought me up with dogs, he had seven greyhounds and lurches so I’ve always known a home full of dogs. I understand that each dog has its own personality, exercise requirements, temperament and way of communicating, so I always adapt my care to suit the dog in front of me. Whether it's a long walk for a high-energy dog, a slower pace for an older companion, or plenty of play, affection and reassurance, I want every dog to feel safe, happy and loved while they're with me. Dogs are a passion of mine and one of my biggest interests. I genuinely enjoy spending time with them and take great pride in making sure they're well looked after, comfortable and treated as if they were my own. I work from home so I will be at home to give your fur baby my undivided attention! Please get in touch if you have any questions. Thank you, Charlotte Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work from home and part time, which means I have the flexibility to give dogs the time, attention and exercise they deserve rather than trying to fit them around a busy schedule. Walks, playtime, enrichment and cuddles are all things I genuinely look forward to. I love getting outside, whatever the weather, and I'm happy to tailor each day to suit your dog's routine and personality—whether that's an energetic adventure, a relaxed sniff-filled stroll or simply keeping them company at home. Because I have a flexible schedule, I can also provide plenty of toilet breaks, stick to feeding and medication routines, and make sure your dog never feels rushed or left alone for long. I'll care for them as if they were one of my own, giving you complete peace of mind while you're away. Whether I'm caring for a pet in my own home or in their owner's home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, relaxed and loved. I know that every dog is different, so I take the time to learn their routine, favourite activities, quirks and any specific care requirements before they stay with me. I always aim to keep their routine as consistent as possible, from feeding times and walks to play, rest and bedtime. I believe dogs thrive on familiarity, so I make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection and mental stimulation throughout the day, while always respecting the boundaries and training their owners have put in place. Communication is really important to me too. I'll keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, settled and being cared for as if they were part of my own family.
“So anxious about leaving our precious Luna but, we needn’t have been. Karen put us at ease. Her and Luna hit it off straight away. Karen is absolutely loving, caring, devoted and we trust her 100%. Thank you Karen. We will see you again soon. Xx”
“Oscar has just finished his first stay with Rupert and he had a great time! Oscar can be nervous around new people but he seemed really happy being left with Rupert and we felt very comfortable leaving him there. Rupert was also incredibly flexible with timings and kept us updated throughout the day. We wouldn’t hesitate to book in with Rupert again in the future :)”
“Josh was really great, we can't recommend him enough! He kept us updated with photos throughout, and really put our minds at ease. Our dog Vinny loved staying at his house!”
About: As a child, I have always been fond of having pets, particularly dogs. Over the years, I have taken care of dogs of different sizes, including the one in the picture, which belongs to my sister. We often joke that he is my second godson. One time, I assisted a professional dog walker as a favour, and I enjoyed it so much that it felt like she did me a favour instead. Additionally, I have pet-sat for my friends on several occasions in the past. Currently, I commute to Bristol for work. However, I work from home on Tuesdays and Fridays, finishing at 1:30 PM on Fridays, so I can also offer dog walking services if needed. Regrettably, the policies of my apartment complex prohibit pets, which is why I can only provide dog-sitting services at the owner's home or short stay at mine over the weekend. I assure you that I will diligently adhere to any instructions given to me regarding the care of the dog.
“Highly recommend. We felt so comfortable leaving our Dog with Beverley. She was really accommodating and really understood the needs of our rescue dog. Thanks so much :)”

About: Hello there! I'm Steve - a part-time writer and full-time animal lover, based in Caerleon. I've so enjoyed looking after dogs for family and friends over the years. My fiancée's parents have a lively 10 year-old JRT x Corgi, named Hector, with whom I've built a very close bond through engaging walks and gentle play. I've also enjoyed housesitting for friends with multiple pets - dogs, cats and even a house rabbit - ensuring the comfort of routine and security of affection are maintained in their absence. My own dog, Kaya, is a sweet-hearted nine year old collie x whippet who's recently joined the family. She's a sensitive soul and, like Hector, suffers with separation anxiety. As such, I understand entirely how important consistency and comfort are for anxious dogs like them. I spend much of my week working from home, so I have plenty of time to offer care and companionship to pets who need company whilst their humans are busy. I believe in showing all our canine companions calm and consistent company, whether during an enriching walk, a quiet cuddle or just a lunchtime check-in for food and water.
About: I love animals, I've had pets all my life! I take care of them with love, affection and respect. I currently have two cats, for 6 years. In my parents' house, I have two large dogs. I always take care of all my pets, doctor and take them for a walk. At the moment I only work with voluntary service so I have a quiet routine, so I can adapt my schedules to your pet's schedule. I will take care of your pet with great affection and responsibility with your goods, your house and your things. I can keep your pet company, take care of hygiene and food, in addition to take it for a walk.
“Barney loved his time with Eve!

A fantastic dog walker and Barney's new best friend!”

I also love exploring nature walks in and around Newport, and would love to bring your dog along with me! I am currently a university student and am missing my little pets so much, so I would love to walk and take care of yours, and have plenty of time to do so!

About: Hi! My name is Freya and I’ve grown up around animals and have always had a deep love and respect for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I like taking time to truly tune into your dog’s needs, whether they’re a bundle of energy needing plenty of playtime, or a more anxious soul who needs quiet, gentle reassurance. Because of this I only take one dog per time available. I love exercising exploring from the beach to the forests and so your pet will be offered plenty of beautiful walks in nature and im not sure who’ll will enjoy it more! I work shift work and so I have days free consistently to spend 1 on 1 with your loved pets. My lifestyle is very active and outdoors and so pets fit naturally in my routine and activity.

You can trust that your dog will be in safe hands, and I’m confident managing routines and making them comfortable in my home
About: Hi! I work from home fulltime and share my space with a playful, well behaved miniature poodle who loves making new furry friends. I've lived with animals my entire life from stick insects and chinchillas to rabbits and cats so I understand that every pet has unique needs, quirks, and comforts. Whether it’s cuddles, playtime, or calm companionship your pet needs, I offer a safe, loving, and attentive environment. Your pet will be cared for like one of my own with patience, experience, and a genuine passion for animals. I work from home most days of the week, which means your pet will have constant company and care throughout the day. My miniature poodle is a friendly, well-socialised pup who loves to play and share his toys. With a beautiful park right on our doorstep, regular walks, fresh air, and playtime are all part of our daily routine — perfect for keeping pets happy, active, and relaxed. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a secure, fully fenced garden for safe outdoor time and a cosy, pet friendly home where they’ll be treated like part of the family. My miniature poodle, Luna, is playful, sociable, and always happy to welcome a new friend. Pets are welcome on the sofa (just like Luna!), but I’ll always follow your rules and routines to make sure your pet feels right at home
“Georgia is absolutely amazing and we honestly couldn’t recommend her enough! Adonis absolutely loves her and gets so excited whenever he sees her. She is incredibly kind, trustworthy and reliable, and always goes above and beyond to make sure he is happy, safe and well cared for. She has helped us out at very short notice on multiple occasions and has always been so accommodating. When Adonis’s harness broke, Georgia even gave us another one to use, which was such a thoughtful and generous thing to do. It really shows how much she genuinely cares about the dogs she looks after. We feel completely at ease leaving Adonis in her care and wouldn’t use anybody else. Georgia is more than just a brilliant dog walker — she treats Adonis as though he is one of her own. We’re so grateful to have found her and would recommend her to absolutely anyone! ❤️🐾”
About: I have 2 small Romanian rescue dogs who I couldn't love more, I have taken care of them plus family and friends dogs over the past 3 years during holidays and love getting to know them, playing, walking, teaching new tricks and then at the end of the day cuddling up with them with blankets, I'm a passionate dog owner and care about the protection of animals and want to ensure dogs can have the best life. I currently work from home full time so have rhe flexibility to have dogs in my home alongside Mt 2 furry friends, so if your dogs like to play with others and want someone who is engaged and playful then please reach out. I have a fenced garden more than 6ft high. Plus 2 small dogs myself under 10kg so they will have lots of time to play and explore whilst here.
“Stella was done through private adoption and I had only had her for 1 week when I met Aimee. Aimee has been amazing , when we had our meet and greet she spendt a whole hour with us during our walk. She got to know Stella very well and all her behaviours , which really put my mind to rest. During her walks with Stella she always gave updates and how well she is doing these were a joy to read. She is constantly ensuring that she has the correct information on Stella before she meets her and is genuinely interested in how the progress of Stella is going. Aimee is amazing and the perfect dog walker for Stella.”
About: I have a spoilt pooch of my own. I also grew up with dogs and cats. I am passionate about all animal care, so I have been volunteering at a zoo for the last 2 years. Previous kennels worker. I will look after your pet like they are my own. I am currently employed, but message me to find out how I can schedule you in. I am free every evening and Sunday, any other time please feel free to contact me. I have a large fenced garden which is secure. I am always careful when entering or leaving a property, so to make sure pets are safe.
About: I've taken care of animals from dogs, cats and hamsters and each animal has been very spoilt as I have a lot of love to give to these precious creatures. I'm always available 6 days a week to look after my friends or families dogs/ cats and have catered to each animals needs. I've always been an animal lover and have grown up with both cats and dogs and have bought my own cats a soon as I've moved out. I work from home which means I am flexible throughout the day and I can walk your dog whenever you need me too. No hassle no fuss. You can be assured that when your pet returns, that they will return very happy. They may return with a new toy or a few treats :) If you are enable to travel, I am willing to travel to you and walk your furry friend around your area, equally I can take them back to my area and walk them. I plan on providing for each furry friend what he or she enjoys the best. For example if your dog loves playing fetch, well do that, if your dog loves going on a run with their hooman, we'll do that, does your dog like to go for a swim? We'll do that. I'm all about putting the care, needs and safety of your dog first. I know parks can be full of bikes and scooters too but I want to assure you that I'm always aware of this as my own dog loves to bark and would possibly chase them if she were allowed so I'm always on the look out for them. I highly recommend not booking me on very hot days as I do not want burn their little paws on the hot path. I do have a portable water bowl to bring on each walk incase they get thirsty. When I walk my own dogs, I usually keep them on a short lead (whilst near roads) untill I get to the park/ field where either is safe enough to either let them off the lead or extend the lead so they have a bit more freedom. I live very close to a few vets so you never need to worry if anything were to go wrong. I have actually taken stray dogs/ my friends dogs to the vets to get seen when there was something wrong.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is that I don’t just “watch” pets, I truly care for them as individuals. I tailor my approach to each pet’s personality, routine, and needs, whether that means helping puppies with basic training, potty routines, and leash manners, or providing gentle, patient care for senior pets who need extra time, medication support, or mobility assistance. I’m attentive, reliable, and experienced at reading animal behaviour, so your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. Pet care is a natural part of my daily and weekly routine. I plan my schedule around feeding times, walks, play, training, and any special care needs to make sure each pet gets consistent attention and care. Throughout the day, I check in on pets, provide exercise and enrichment, and make time for cuddles and companionship, not just the basics. On a weekly basis, I stay organised with routines so everything runs smoothly. Caring for pets isn’t something I squeeze in, it’s something I prioritise. I care for pets by following their usual routines and giving them plenty of attention, whether in my home or theirs. I make sure they’re fed on schedule, get exercise, playtime, and affection, and receive any special care they need, including puppy training support or gentle senior care. My goal is to keep pets comfortable, happy, and stress free while their owners are away.
About: My passion has always been animals, and I have never spent more than a few years of my life without a pet. I have experience with most breeds of dogs, cats, kittens, fish and rabbits. I currently own a 12-year-old Labrador, and a 6-year-old cat who are keeping me company since both my children have now moved out. I have always wanted to work with animals, and this is the year that I have decided to quit my day job, and follow my dream. I have recently quit my job in order to pursue a full time pet sitting career, so I have full time availability to care for your pets!

“Needed a dog sitter at short notice after being let down at the last minute a few days before we went on holiday. We could not have asked for better as Crystal & her family made our Roxy feel so at home. Had daily updates & photo's which was very reassuring. I would high recomend Crystal as I found her very caring & professional.”

“Michelle was a fabulous host! When I dropped our dog Lili, she warmly welcomed us and I could instantly tell she is a true dog lover and Lili will have a great time. Michelle sent me daily updates during Lili’s stay. I cannot recommend Michelle enough. I will definitely ask Michelle to look after Lili again in the future.”
“Georgia was absolutely amazing with Ronnie! He is my whole heart, so I was naturally worried leaving him when his eyes and ears haven't been great, on top of managing the heat. But Georgia treated him like her own from start to finish. She kept me updated with lovely photos and videos, kept his eyes and ears so clean, and Ronnie had a lush time with her lovely dog, they got on amazingly well! Knowing my boy was in such loving, capable hands meant everything to me. Highly recommend and will 100% book again!”
“Oliver has been such a wonderful dog sitter! Flexible, super responsive, kind and so generosity with our dogs. I’m especially grateful given the last minute booking, we will definitely be using Oliver again. Cooper and Molly are especially grateful for the chicken filled trip to the cafe.”

“Hi, He was so relaxed and spoilt with Krisztina and family. Everything I asked Krisztina to do for Trevor, she did. He was very well looked after. I would recommend anyone to leave their dogs there. I had video's and photo's of him, when I was away. It gave me peace of mind. Thank you”
“This is the first time we’ve used Rupert to look after our dog overnight and I have been delighted with his communication and the way he has looked after him. Would definitely recommend and have already booked in more dates! :)”
“My labrador Bella stayed with Hayley for the night a few weeks ago and Hayley was amazing! I am super fussy with who Bella stays with but I’m so glad I found Hayley and will be using her every time I go away! Hayley’s home is lovely and chilled and with Hayley only having one dog at a time Bella got lots of attention, which she loves!! Hayley took Bella on lots of lovely walks and updated me with photos. Hayley listened to everything I told her about Bella and really accommodated everything she needed. Thank you so much Hayley, highly recommended!”
“Joshua was great with Toby. Toby came back home very relaxed, happy and clearly very well looked after. Communication was great I will happily book with Joshua again and would highly recommend him.”
About: I adore dogs. I have experience caring for a wide range of breeds, from large dogs like Great Danes, Bloodhounds and Lurchers to smaller breeds such as Chihuahuas and, now, my own French Bulldogs who I co-parent with a family member. So my dogs are with me twice a month. My father brought me up with dogs, he had seven greyhounds and lurches so I’ve always known a home full of dogs. I understand that each dog has its own personality, exercise requirements, temperament and way of communicating, so I always adapt my care to suit the dog in front of me. Whether it's a long walk for a high-energy dog, a slower pace for an older companion, or plenty of play, affection and reassurance, I want every dog to feel safe, happy and loved while they're with me. Dogs are a passion of mine and one of my biggest interests. I genuinely enjoy spending time with them and take great pride in making sure they're well looked after, comfortable and treated as if they were my own. I work from home so I will be at home to give your fur baby my undivided attention! Please get in touch if you have any questions. Thank you, Charlotte Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work from home and part time, which means I have the flexibility to give dogs the time, attention and exercise they deserve rather than trying to fit them around a busy schedule. Walks, playtime, enrichment and cuddles are all things I genuinely look forward to. I love getting outside, whatever the weather, and I'm happy to tailor each day to suit your dog's routine and personality—whether that's an energetic adventure, a relaxed sniff-filled stroll or simply keeping them company at home. Because I have a flexible schedule, I can also provide plenty of toilet breaks, stick to feeding and medication routines, and make sure your dog never feels rushed or left alone for long. I'll care for them as if they were one of my own, giving you complete peace of mind while you're away. Whether I'm caring for a pet in my own home or in their owner's home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, relaxed and loved. I know that every dog is different, so I take the time to learn their routine, favourite activities, quirks and any specific care requirements before they stay with me. I always aim to keep their routine as consistent as possible, from feeding times and walks to play, rest and bedtime. I believe dogs thrive on familiarity, so I make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection and mental stimulation throughout the day, while always respecting the boundaries and training their owners have put in place. Communication is really important to me too. I'll keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, settled and being cared for as if they were part of my own family.
“My big German shepherd/malinois stayed with Alisha and Sean. They cared for him beautifully and they took the time to understand what he needed. They very much allowed my boy to feel right at home. Looking forward to his next stay with them in October :)”
“So very kind and accommodating. Bronwen took our dog on beautiful long walks and wasn’t phased by his boundless energy. She sent lots of lovely photos of their fun together. Bronwen made sure she kept his usual home rules and routine to avoid confusion. Would highly recommend and would definitely use again! Thank you”
“Excellent dog boarding with frequent and clear communication. Lots of updates and videos on how Smokey was doing. Also very accommodating with his meal times, medicine, and walks. He loved staying with Gloria and will definitely be back when next needed :D”
“Tetiana was absolutely fab! We had a nightmare with our kennel booking and needed someone to watch our (rather large) dog at very short notice, and Tetiana came to the rescue. She provided us with frequent updates and photographs throughout our dog’s stay and made sure he got plenty exercise during the day too. She has a huge back garden and her own dog, who was a great play buddy for ours. Honestly, she’s brilliant and I’d recommend her to anyone, having already passed her details to other family members who may need her in future. Thanks Tetiana for all your help.”
“Caitlin was really good with Frank. He can be a bit nervous first meeting people but he immediately went to her and seemed comfortable in her home! Frank was very happy when I picked him up and had a great time. I will definitely use Caitlin again in future 😁”
“Samantha had a genuine love for dogs and was happy to look after our two big canines. It was good that she had a fenced grassy garden that the dogs had access to all day and also she put lots of ice in their drinking water because it was a very hot day.”
