“Amazing from start, communication prior to, and during boarding was fantastic. Melanie so thoughtful, flexible and helpful throughout, Our dog had a great holiday, we were so reassured, especially as first time for us to be away from her, and she not had huge social experiences. The daily updates and photos were so appreciated. Will definitely be visiting again”
“Crystal was very easy to communicate with and very accommodating for a last minute booking. She kept us very well informed of how Bryn was and what they had been upto during the day. I would have no hesitation in booking crystal again.”
“Regular updates and photos. Felt like I was leaving my boy with a really loving family and he was cared for as if he was at home, not just at a sitters. Will definitely recommend and use again. Thank you Rachel x”
“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.”
“Amanda took fantastic care of Murphy for two nights. Her communication was excellent, with regular updates that gave us real peace of mind. Murphy came back happy, relaxed, and clearly well looked after. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Amanda again, would highly recommend !!”
“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”
“Our Lena stayed with Karen for a week while's we went away and she had a great time. Very well look after. She loves it there as evident from the many pics and videos Karen sent. Lots of walks. Thank you.”

“My dog Jarvis has boarded with Anna, and stayed with her for daycare multiple times. He loves it there and I never feel bad about leaving him, as Anna and her family are great with him. He always comes home relaxed and happy after playing with Mishka for the day. I will definitely continue to leave Jarvis here in the future!”
“Oliver was absolutely amazing with Harley, we had a meet and greet before Harley stayed with him for the weekend, which made Harley so comfortable with the home, surroundings and Oliver himself, he was excited when we dropped him off as soon as he saw Oliver. We had regular updates when we asked how he was, he went on walks, cwtched on the sofa, played ball and overall was very well taken care of. Oliver eased my anxiety so much for leaving Harley, he reassured me and confirmed my hope that he would take excellent care of my boy, he was safe and happy! We will absolutely book with Oliver again and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for high quality care for their furry loved ones!”
“Kristina K. is a very competant and experienced dog sitter. She understands the importance of regular communication to the owners of dogs in her care. Our dog Leo was very well looked after and Kristina kept in contact with pictures and videos throughout his stay to put our minds at ease while we were on holiday.”
“I couldn’t have asked for better care for Miles during his stay with Rupert. From start to finish, he was attentive, kind, and clearly committed to making sure my dog felt comfortable and happy. I got regular updates, photos, and messages that truly put me at ease. My pup came home relaxed, well-cared for, and clearly loved every minute of their time with him. Rupert went above and beyond, and I’m so grateful for the peace of mind he gave me. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for exceptional pet care!”
“Julie was absolutely fantastic and made both me and Buster very welcome in her home. This was the first time I had ever had to leave Buster with strangers but, made me feel completely at ease and kept me updated throughout the duration of the booking. Not only did Julie take care of him but it was very clear that he had had fun there and even met a new friend.”
“Georgia was brilliant with Woody! Over the past few days he’s had the best time playing with her lovely dog, Smol, and going on plenty of walks. It was clear from the updates that he was happy, well cared for, and treated like one of her own. Georgia went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable and entertained, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. I’ll definitely be booking with her again, highly recommended!”
“Krisztina and family cared for our Penny for a week and we cannot rate her highly enough! Penny looked so happy on every photo that was sent (we had daily updates)! Penny left today with a goody bag which was an adorable touch! We will definitely be repeat customers! Thank you! ❤️”
“Rumi loved her stay with Lucy! She provided phenomenal care for our dog while we were away, and we would 100% use Lucy again for care in the future if she is available.”
“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.”
“We were really happy with the care Wayne gave Luna during her three-day stay. He sent us regular updates, which was really reassuring, took her for plenty of walks, and made sure she was comfortable and settled throughout her stay. It was clear that Wayne genuinely cared about her and her wellbeing, and we felt completely at ease knowing she was in good hands. Luna came home happy and well looked after. We would definitely trust Wayne with her again and would happily recommend him to others!”

“She was absolutely amazing! 🥰 She took such great care of my cats and really took the time to get to know them. She kept me updated by sending regular pictures, which was so reassuring while I was away, and she even watered my plants for me! 🌿🐱 She was so approachable, kind and reliable, and I couldn’t have asked for anyone better. I would highly recommend her and would definitely use her again! ❤️”
“I booked six visits with Sian for my two cats and they both seemed well looked after ❤️ I received pictures after every visit and they got to know and trust Sian very quickly, even my more reserved and scared of everything cat didn’t have any trust issues. Communication was easy and Sian always asked if unsure of things. Happy to book again in the future.”
“Jess was very happy with Krisztina visiting and even waited on the drive for her. Krisztina knows her stuff about cats and I was very happy to leave Jess in her care.”
“Tipsy loves her time with Ana, tipsy became comfortable with her very quickly, accepting fussies, treats and surprised us by going close to Ana! We would strongly recommend Ana, she had a good understanding of cats and their hilarious quirks, making sure to give Tipsy water by watering down a treat when it was noticed that Tipsy was not drinking.”
About: I don't have a cat but I have owned cats in the past. My mum and sisters have cats and I regularly take car of them and have administered medicine. Happy with all personalities, and just enjoy being around them!
“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”
“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.”
About: I’ve had cats of my own in the past and absolutely love caring for them. I’m reliable, gentle, caring, and calm around cats. I enjoy giving them attention, keeping them comfortable, and respecting their individual personalities and routines. Your cat will receive plenty of patience, love, and thoughtful care.
“Really great. Claudia agreed to come on short notice to look after my cat for a week. She's clearly an animal lover and even my skittish cat took a liking to her (when she offered him a treat). She arrived every day on time, kept me updated and respected my property. Will definitely book Claudia again if I can.”
“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 😊”
About: I had cats from as young as 5 until about 6 years ago when I lost my last Persian and couldn’t bare losing another. I love all cats of all types and am more than happy to ensure they’re fed, watered loved and cuddled (if that’s what they want of course) and are kept indoors if need be. Have had experience with old incontinent cats too.
“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.”
“Ying-ying did an amazing job caring for our cats while we were away. She was attentive and reliable. We came home to happy, relaxed cats. Highly recommend! We will be booking her again!”
“Sabrina has now looked after Katyusha overnight twice, and made plenty of time when collecting keys to chat about the previous and upcoming visit. She keeps me informed of Katyusha's meals, activities and mood, which again seems to be very relaxed with Sabrina. It has made essential overnight trips away feasible, knowing Katyusha was in good hands. I would have no hesitation in recommending Sabrina.”
“Laura was absolutely fantastic. We felt so relaxed and secure leaving our cats in her care whilst we went on holiday for a week. She sent lots of updates and photos and both our cats were very happy girls when we got back. We will definitely book Laura again next time we go away. Thank you so much!!”

“Rachel is absolutely lovely, so sweet and genuinely easy to talk to. Nothing ever seemed too much trouble for her, and she made me feel completely at ease from the start. Smithy is a rescue greyhound, so I was really worried about finding someone who would understand him, his background and all his little quirks, rather than treating him like just any other dog. Rachel absolutely delivered. She took the time to listen, understand his needs and make sure he felt comfortable and settled with her. I felt completely reassured knowing he was in such kind and capable hands, and Smithy clearly loved his time with her. I’ll definitely be using Rachel again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and genuinely caring to look after their dog. Thank you so much 🖤”
“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.”

Whether it’s a walk, a drop-in visit or an overnight stay, you can have peace of mind knowing your best friend is in caring, reliable hands. Licence no. 26/02096/ANIBOA This is my full time job so all my attention goes into caring for your pets and I am also very active so able to exercise if required I have a garden with high fencing.

“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..”
“Wayne recently looked after our dog and I can’t speak highly of him. This was Junos first visit sp Wayne really took the time to understand any specific needs that we had or that Juno had! Wayne kept us updated throughout the day with lovely photos of Juno enjoying herself. The whole experience of using Wayne for our girl was wonderful we will certainly be rebooking! Thanks so much for looking after her so well!”
“Luna stayed with Karen for the second time yesterday. Karen put us at ease with lots of messages and photographs and again we would highly recommend Karen for her care of our Luna, who means so much to us. Thank you Karen, see you soon.”
“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: 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.
About: I have been animal lover since a very small child. I have always been raised that pets are family, not just pets. I have experience with all size dogs, from miniature to extra large, show breeds to working line breeds. I was also a registered dog breeder for 7years before having my children. I have worked with all types from pet dogs to protection working dogs. I currently work self employed, part time. I am an owner of a Burger Van so there for have plenty of time on my hands by running my own business. I have always had animals up until 2years ago loosing my 14year old French bulldog, Frank so now have alot more time to look after other people pride & joys. I have an extensive sized garden which is fully enclosed with a 6 foot fence. I can crate pets if needed on your request or they can be free to roam my house as though it was there own home.
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.
“First time with Rupert - Monty was really content when we arrived to collect and it was clear he had a lovely day. Rupert communicated well and was lovely to deal with.”
“My husband and I booked Beverly to take care of our little boy when we go on Holiday for a week. We were very nervous to leave him, so booked an earlier date for a day so they could get to know each other. Beverly took such amazing care of him and genuinely treated him as though he was hers. He spent hours playing in the garden and made friends with her gorgeous dogs. When my husband went to collect him, he didn’t want to come home! We’re so happily to have found someone to trust to look after him for us to go on holiday. We know he will have the most amazing week with Beverly and her dogs.”
“Gertie had a lovely time with Joshua on two of hottest days last week. He walked her early and made sure she was cool and had access to lots of water. Great job Joshua”

“Ieva has been great. I needed to arrange a dog sitter to stay with my old dog at quite short notice. Ieva arranged to come round for a meet and greet (fighting her way through roadworks and over hot tarmac to make it) and was lovely with Millie. She has also done some drop in visits which Millie seems very relaxed after. I think Millie is going to enjoy her week with Ieva 😁”

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
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals for as long as I can remember and have grown up with both cats and dogs throughout my life. My experience includes caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities, from giant Newfoundlands to miniature Jack Russell’s, so I am comfortable adapting to the individual needs of each pet. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy and caring to look after your furry family members. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the sofa, or simply sticking to their usual routine, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy and well cared for while you’re away. I genuinely love spending time with animals and will treat your pets with the same care and attention that I give my own.

About: I've had dogs since I was 6 years old! I grew up with my childhood dogs Dexter and Sasha. They were the loves of my life, I loved walking them, teaching them tricks (although Dexter was rather stubborn and would only perform for cheese), playing with them and cuddling up on the sofa with them. Unfortunately, Dexter had some health issues as he got older: arthritis, hip pain, blindness in his left eye and deafness. I was very thorough with his care, I was up to date with his meds as well as his other needs, such as hip exercises, ear and eye cleaning etc. I also made sure during this time that Sasha was just as well taken care of and given enough attention. I also have helped friends and family with their dogs e.g. walking, pet sitting, feeding. I am currently working part-time at Morrisons on the weekend, so I have a lot of free time during the week. I am available after 2pm on weekends. I am able to easily crate your pet/s, follow whatever routine you may have with your pets (trust me I can handle picky dogs).
About: Hello! I’ve grown up in a pet-loving family and currently have my own two cats (Spooky and Teemu) and one year old working Labrador (Otis). I absolutely love pets and understand how important it is to know that your pets are safe, happy and loved for when you’re away. I can’t wait for the opportunity to meet and care for your pet! Note: unless otherwise requested, I will walk your dog separately to my own! I work full-time in a hybrid role. My work from home days are flexible but tend to be Monday and Friday. Please just reach out if there are specific days/times your pet needs care for as I’m happy to be flexible where possible! I have two cats and one dog. My services will therefore be limited to drop ins, walks and sitting at your property. Unless requested otherwise, all dog walks will take place with your dog only. My own dog will be walked separately.
About: When we lost our black lab; our family dog to old age, I have walked and looked after neighbours dogs and have enjoyed it so much. I would love a dog of my own, however I live alone and work full time therefore at present I do not feel this would be fair. I live nearby lots of lovely walks, which I love to explore and would love to canine friend to join! I have a secure garden which they could explore and also live in a mews, therefore have a secure front area back from the road. I have a current DBS and am recently canine first aid trained ✅️ Im currently around full time and therefore would be able to dedicate plenty of time to your dog. I will try my best to accommodate your pets needs and requirements. I have no pets of my own and live alone. I have a secure front and back garden and a spare room which would easily fit a crate in of your dog likes to use one.
“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! ❤️🐾”
“We’re so happy we found Sabrina to help us out on busy work days. She’s been walking Bako twice a week and we feel comfortable and confident that she’s well taken care of during this time. Sabrina takes the time to reach out and provide feedback on Bako’s behaviour and overall wellbeing. Communication is simple and would highly recommend her services.”
“Thanks for all your help with Enzo. You were very punctual, with great communication. Your dog handling skills are second to none, and I always felt that Enzo was safe and well cared for with you.”
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! I have a fenced garden to keep your dogs safe with a friendly Labrador that gets on with any dog. I have multiple water stations around the house, with toys and snacks available on request too. I can also crate your dog if requested.

“Amazing from start, communication prior to, and during boarding was fantastic. Melanie so thoughtful, flexible and helpful throughout, Our dog had a great holiday, we were so reassured, especially as first time for us to be away from her, and she not had huge social experiences. The daily updates and photos were so appreciated. Will definitely be visiting again”

“Oliver was absolutely amazing with Harley, we had a meet and greet before Harley stayed with him for the weekend, which made Harley so comfortable with the home, surroundings and Oliver himself, he was excited when we dropped him off as soon as he saw Oliver. We had regular updates when we asked how he was, he went on walks, cwtched on the sofa, played ball and overall was very well taken care of. Oliver eased my anxiety so much for leaving Harley, he reassured me and confirmed my hope that he would take excellent care of my boy, he was safe and happy! We will absolutely book with Oliver again and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for high quality care for their furry loved ones!”
“I couldn’t have asked for better care for Miles during his stay with Rupert. From start to finish, he was attentive, kind, and clearly committed to making sure my dog felt comfortable and happy. I got regular updates, photos, and messages that truly put me at ease. My pup came home relaxed, well-cared for, and clearly loved every minute of their time with him. Rupert went above and beyond, and I’m so grateful for the peace of mind he gave me. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for exceptional pet care!”
“Georgia was brilliant with Woody! Over the past few days he’s had the best time playing with her lovely dog, Smol, and going on plenty of walks. It was clear from the updates that he was happy, well cared for, and treated like one of her own. Georgia went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable and entertained, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. I’ll definitely be booking with her again, highly recommended!”
“Krisztina and family cared for our Penny for a week and we cannot rate her highly enough! Penny looked so happy on every photo that was sent (we had daily updates)! Penny left today with a goody bag which was an adorable touch! We will definitely be repeat customers! Thank you! ❤️”
“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.”
“It isn’t always easy to leave my dog with other people as she can be a bit of a handful on walks. Poppy had a great stay with Hayley and she was kind enough to come on a practise walk beforehand. She was also very understanding when Poppy had an unexpected upset tummy during her stay. I can’t thank her enough and I highly recommend.”
“As this was my first time using Rover or any kind of boarding I was a bit apprehensive but Alisha and her partner Sean were absolutely amazing. It was clear Hudson felt right at home straight away. Alisha sent regular updates with pictures of Hudson enjoying his walks and adventures.I Will definitely be booking Hudson in again. Thank you Alisha! 💗”
“We so appreciate Jack being able to care for our doggo. It was so reassuring to leave Hopper in his capable hands and he sent lots of updates over the week. I would highly recommend booking with him and we definitely will when we get the chance to again. Thanks so much 🥰”
“Adell was amazing with our Labradoodle Betty. She has a lovely little dog herself, Edgar, and Betty really enjoyed her weekend with a little friend! Adell was brilliant with communicating with us- giving us daily updates every few hours and took Betty on some amazing walks! Some of the photos she captured of Betty on her adventures with Adell are now printed and up in the house 😍 Betty soon had another snuggle buddy after long walks and was always happy in the photos Adell sent us! We will definetely reach out to Adell for future boarding we need as we felt comfortable leaving our furbaby with her and Edgar! Thank you again Adell 🤩 Rachel, Owen & Betty 🐾 x”
“Gloria took such good care of Winnie. We picked Winnie up and she was very happy. My husband said he could tell Winnie had fallen in love with Gloria. Gloria kept us up to date with Winnie and helped Winnie settle in a new home. Highly recommend for dog sitting.”
“Waffles had a fantastic time at day care, he loved playing with another dog and I had updates too. Bronwen was very professional and I had no worries leaving him in her care, I look forward to him staying for boarding as I know he will be well looked after.”
