Bettyna is amazing, she went above and beyond to accommodate my pets, she took great care of them, walked my dog regularly and my cat absolutely loved the catio in the garden. I was receiving constant updates and them as well as lots of pictures. An amazing family who loves and cares for animals. Can’t thank her enough for helping me on such short notice

Eric loved his stay. We were kept updated with messages and videos throughout his stay. Eric would usually go to kennels however, a break with a dog living family much better suits him. We wouldn’t hesitate to letting him go back. Thank you so much

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and have always been involved in caring for them. My family owned Staffordshire Bull Terriers, so I’m very comfortable handling energetic, strong, and affectionate dogs while understanding the importance of routine, patience, and attention. Now, I have my own French Bulldog with my partner, who is completely spoilt rotten and loved to bits. Caring for him daily has given me hands-on experience with feeding routines, walks, playtime, companionship, and making sure dogs feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I genuinely love dogs of all breeds and personalities, and I’ll always treat your dog as if they were my own, with plenty of care, affection, and attention. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine as I work during the week and have weekends free to fully focus on caring for dogs. This gives me plenty of time for walks, playtime, attention, and making sure your pet feels comfortable, happy, and well looked after. Dogs will always receive lots of love, care, and company while they’re with me. I’ll make sure your dog feels comfortable, safe, and right at home with me. I have a secure gated garden where dogs can safely play and enjoy some fresh air, and they’ll always get plenty of attention, care, and cuddles. I’ve grown up around dogs all my life and now have my own French Bulldog, so I’m very used to daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, and making sure dogs feel happy and settled. I’ll always follow any routines or instructions you provide so your dog gets the best care possible while they’re with me.

From initial booking, Medina made me feel very reassured and relaxed about leaving our dog overnight in capable and loving hands. Medina and Ted are super friendly, kind and keen to look after your pet with lots of care and affection. I was sent me lots of update pictures throughout which was really appreciated. Our Golden Retriever had an amazing time with them and came back home super chill and tired. I will 100% be happy to leave my dog with Medina and Ted again !

Absolutely incredible, not only does she take incredible care of your dog and treats them as her own, she also offers pick ups and drop offs for an additional charge which is extremely handy. I got sent a tonne of pictures and videos throughout my dogs stay and he looked incredibly happy. Despite max never have been away from me before overnight he settled extremely well. Would highly recommend and thank you again, Max will definitely miss you and his new furry friend 🐾

I could not recommend Shaun and his family enough. They truly are the perfect family to trust your dog with. We have never left our Shar Pei with anyone other than family before and yet Shaun and his family really put Bruno first. They went above and beyond when looking after Bruno and communication was excellent and reassuring. I truly cannot speak any higher of them or recommend them enough. I will definitely use them again

About: I’ve grown up in a family of dog lovers, caring for furry friends of varied breeds and sizes from a young age. My current little one, Millie, started house-training at 10 weeks old and is now a happy, well-adjusted 8 year old, who loves her daily walks and playtime. I also have plenty of experience with senior dogs, from my dearly missed 15 year old staffy to my current 10 year old chihuahua, Shyla. Caring for dogs has always been a second nature to me & is something I truly love and take pride in. I work fully-remote from home during the week therefore I am always available to tend to pets throughout the day. I am fully available all day for the majority of weekends. I have a medium sized, fenced back garden with enough space for pets to roam and play. I currently have 2 small sociable dogs of my own, I have no concerns with bringing another dog into the home as long as there is an opportunity for them to be introduced and get familiar with each other.

Joyce and Steve were brilliant with Ralph. We had an initial meet up in which Ralph was introduced to them and they got to know everything they needed to about him. Throughout his stay I was kept updated and he came home a very tired dog. I will have no hesitation in using them again.

Highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Claudia looked after both of my fur babies whilst I went away, the first time for both Snookie and Tink staying at a dog boarders, as I normally have family who take care of them. With this being unfamiliar, I was so nervous, full of worry wondering how they would settle. However instantly they made themselves at home, and Claudia made sure to update me not long after I dropped them off. She really put my mind at ease, keeping me updated everyday with videos and pictures, Which made my holiday much more enjoyable, as I knew they was happy, having there own little holiday and lots of snuddles too. Thankyou so much for such a pleasant experience! Your star 💫 Snookie & Tinkerbell will 100% be back.

The dog returned happy, satisfied and it was clear that he really enjoyed his stay. Communication was great, everything went smoothly.

Olivia was absolutely amazing! We’ve left our girls with strangers before and I was really anxious about it however from the first meeting she really put our minds at ease. Daily pictures& updates were welcome and it quickly became obvious that Olivia is a true dog lover. Olivia got know the girls personalities and clearly connected with them. The girls clearly loved their stay and truly had a holiday themselves. Thank you 🐾❤️

Sam did an exceptional job looking after Lulu. It was the first time she had ever stayed away from family but she had a fantastic time staying with Sam and his two dogs. We arranged a meet and greet before the stay which was a good opportunity for the dogs and Sam to meet. We could also talk through Lulus routine, likes / dislikes etc. During the stay Sam kept us regularly updated with lovely videos of all the dogs playing and out on their daily walk. Would highly recommend! Thank you Sam!
