“Thanks to Maria and Harris for looking after Rory our cockapoo while we were at my daughters wedding. He spent 3 days with them and they gave him lots of fun and games. He certainly seems to have had a great time judging by the photos we received each day from Maria and Harris. I would certainly be willing to leave Rory with them if we needed him looked after again.”


“Ali and family were amazing!! Billie settled very quickly and we got loads of photos and videos of her having a great time. Definitely be asking Ali to look after Billie again when we are away. 😊”


“We recently used Nicola to watch our fur baby Dutton. It was the first time we had left him and she made us feel so reassured. Nicola sent daily pupdates which helped us feel at ease. Dutton had a great time at Nicola's and was very happy with his mini holiday. We have a few trips coming up this year and Nicola will definitely be our first port of call.”


“Stormi says thank you very very much for looking after me whilst my daddy was away, she really enjoyed all the walks and getting to snooze on your bed & sofa it was just like being at home. Very happy Doggy and even happier owner knowing I’ve now found someone who looks after our baby as if she was their own! Can’t thank you both enough and we will see you very soon for more doggy day care x”


“Hope and her husband welcomed my puppy into their home and treated her like one of their own. They provided me with updates via messages and pictures. I’m sure my Nala was sad to leave when I came to collect her. I wouldn’t hesitate to use again and would highly recommend using their services if they’re available.”


“We met Kassandra and her very well behaved German Shepherd a few days before Buster was due to stay with Kassandra, to make sure he got along well with her dog. She asked a lot of questions to make sure she could look after Buster as well as possible, and answered all our questions very satisfactorily. I was also very impressed by how well Buster took to her when we met, as he is often quite wary of new people. So I was very comfortable to leave Buster with her for a few nights. She kept us updated about all his walks and how he was eating (he can sometimes go off his food a bit in new places), and even sent us some very nice pictures of him enjoying himself with his new friends Keira and Mr Poe (his first cat!). When I went to pick Buster up, he was clearly very happy. Overall I was very pleased with how Kassandra looked after my dog, and she will definitely be my first call if I need Buster looked after again in future.”


About: Hi! We’re a dog-loving family with a sweet and playful red fox Labrador (1year) who absolutely loves making new furry friends. We also have a gentle black cat and a kind-hearted 12-year-old daughter who adores animals. Either myself or my husband Barry are home full-time, so your pup will get plenty of love, attention, and company throughout the day. Our Lab is very friendly and would be thrilled to have a buddy to play and go on walks with—we enjoy daily strolls and always welcome extra wagging tails! We have a safe, fully enclosed garden where the dogs can play and relax. Our home is calm, loving, and full of cuddles—just the way dogs like it. We can’t wait to welcome your dog into our home like one of our own! Me and Barry both work full time, but they’ll always be one of us at home to play, care for and look after your pups every need! We have a fully enclosed garden where your pet can enjoy the outdoors when we’re not on walks. We’re happy for the pups to be on the sofas and everywhere downstairs (but no dogs in the beds).

“We were a bit nervous about leaving our 12 year old cockapoo as it was our first time. Irene had a pre meet with us and we felt comfortable and reassured straight away. During our week away Irene gave us daily updates and photos and we never had any worry as we knew Ruby was happy and content and she was loving all the attention. Would definitely use and recommend Irene, thank you.”


About: My partner Joe and I bring years of hands-on experience caring for pets. I’ve been caring for my two beloved senior dogs, Ruby and Bella, for over three years. They needed a lot of extra love and attention, including oral medication, hand-feeding, and gentle care tailored to their needs. Ruby has now moved to Lanzarote with family, and sadly, Bella is no longer with us. Our home feels a little too quiet without them, and we’d love the chance to care for some new furry friends and share that love again. Joe has raised and trained dogs since childhood, building strong, trusting relationships especially with Bella. His calm, steady presence and natural connection with animals make him especially good with dogs of all temperaments. Together, we offer gentle, experienced care filled with patience, love and reliability. Pet care is a natural part of our daily routine we prioritise walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship, making sure pets feel safe, loved, and well looked after. We create a calm, pet-friendly space with plenty of love, play, and routine. Pets get individual attention, regular exercise, safe surroundings, and all the comforts of home.

“Spencer had a brilliant stay with Shannon! We received updates and photos of him looking very happy on his outdoor adventures! We would happily rebook him for a future stay. Thanks, Shannon, for looking after him so well!”


“Krystina is a very lovely girl who is great with animals. Chula came home from a stay with Krystina clearly very happy and missing all the fun she had with her and her dog Copper! I felt safe leaving Chula and Krystina kept us updated with some fantastic photos that made us laugh. Thanks Krystina”


“So happy to have found Lynn. I knew on the first meeting she had a loving family home and would help our dog settle in with the friendliness and kindnes she showed. Her own dog Mia is adorable and I thank her too for looking after our girl so well 🥰 Loved the photo's she sent too of the fantastic walks they had in the surrounding area.”


“Our little one had a great time with Sarah! We could tell from the photos and the videos that Sarah sent to us regularly: lovely walks, cuddles, and play! Sylune looked very happy and well adjusted, I think it's the first time she seems so calm after coming back from a pet sitter. We're grateful and will be booking again in the future!”


About: I’ve take care of family & friends dogs for the past 5 years, right through from puppy stages to adult dog. I got my own puppy in 2023 so am well versed in looking after puppies and adult dogs alike. I currently work 4 days a week so am available on Fridays and the weekends to walk your pups! This can be either on lead or off lead in a safe environment, whatever suits the needs of the dog and owner. I will always treat your dog as if they were my own, I understand the importance of them as family members & would put their safety above all else. I love local to numerous woodland areas & would walk on or off the lead depending on the owners preference.

“Thank you so much Zuzanna and Diego for taking such great care of Cara for the last 17 days. It can be daunting leaving your dog for so long but I honestly had no concerns as knew she’d be well taken care of, and even spoiled at times like the trip to the beach. I was really grateful for all your regular updates and photos as nice to hear that Cara was settled and having a ball. As soon as I’m planning my next holiday I’ll be in touch as would love for you both to take care of Cara again. I’ll also recommend you to friends as it’s truly obvious you care deeply for dogs and would take great care of them. Thank you so much again! Nicola and Cara”
