“Bruna and family were so great with Cosmo! I got regular updates and videos which made me feel really reassured. He came home after such an active day a very happy chap. Highly recommend, so flexible and would 100% send Cosmo there again. Thank-you so much!”
“Bettyna was helpful, thoughtful, kind and professional throughout. This was the 1st time for us leaving our dogs with anybody other than family and so I did text to check in and Bettyna responded very quickly even providing photos. We have them booked for our longer holiday in 4 weeks and will be able to relax knowing that they are in safe hands. Thank you, highly recommend”
“Kwan and her family took wonderful care of Bailey for 3 days! They kept us updated with lots of photos and feedback, and Bailey settled into the environment very quickly. Everything was very clean and well cared for, they were also very thoughtful and accommodating throughout the stay, and we had absolutely no concerns while Bailey stayed with her. We’d definitely ask for Kwan’s help again in the future!”
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.
“I would highly recommend Nicole to look after your pet. Nicole provided lots of pictures and updates and as this was the first time leaving my puppy this provided me with lots of reassurance. Connie loved staying with Nicole and without a doubt I will be asking Nicole to look after Connie again. 🥰”
“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.
“Very caring couple who made sure our 8 month old puppy had everything she needed to be comfortable during her stay. They were more than happy to follow her existing routines. They sent lots of updates and photos during her stay which were very reassuring. She seemed to really bond with Nicola & Rebecca and returned home very happy and relaxed!”
“This was Penny's 4th stay with Claudia and already have her booked for a 5th. We wouldn't want anyone else to look after her when we are away. Penny loves her stays and always runs straight into the house when we drop her off. Great communication throughout our holiday. We thoroughly recommend Claudia.”
“Cosmo had such a great day with Emily! I was kept up-to-date with photos etc and it was clear Cosmo was having a blast - he was absolutely wiped out after, and I got a bit of peace in the evening! He was having too much fun during the day :) 10/10 would 100% recommend Emily and will definitely send Cosmo again.”
“Oscar had a wonderful time with Matthew and Raissa. He was happy and relaxed. He enjoyed all his walks and spotting squirrels. We were updated with photos while we were away. I can’t praise Matthew and Raissa enough for the care Oscar received.”
“This was the first time we have been away from 4 year old Gracie, however after the meet and greet we were 110% she would be cared for, spoilt and loved. And so Annabelle gave us regular updates on settling in, and what Gracie had been up to. Although she was super pleased to see us when we picked her up, when Annabelle phoned about Gracie's feeding bowl as we were leaving and came out to us in the car, Gracie's little tail was going like a propeller 🥰. What more could you ask for, other than for Gracie to write the review herself. Anabelle, Thank you so much for loving Gracie as much as we do xxx She obviously had a fabulous time xxx”
“I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter for Willow. I don’t leave her very often, so I was naturally quite anxious, but James put me completely at ease from the start. Willow seemed to feel at home as soon as she walked through the door. James treated her as if she were his own, giving her plenty of love, attention, cuddles and treats throughout her stay. I received lots of photo updates, which was so reassuring, and it was clear from the pictures that she was having the best time. When I collected her, she was so comfortable and settled that she happily carried on playing while I chatted with James about her stay, which says it all really! I wouldn’t hesitate to leave Willow with James again and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a caring, reliable and genuine dog sitter. Thank you so much for taking such great care of her! 🐾❤️”
“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.”

"Absolutely satisfied! Mr. Walls was taken care of with great care, love and professionalism. We received photos and information the whole time, so we had peace of mind that he was in good hands. The dog returned happy, satisfied and it was clear that he really enjoyed his stay. Communication was great, everything went smoothly. We definitely recommend and will be happy to use the service again." Thank you:)
Second time of leaving our beautiful GS with Dylan. Great sitter. Sent some lovely pictures of Bonnie enjoying a walk. When we are away we don't worry because we know shes in good hands. Our dog comes home happy and healthy like shes been on her own little holiday.
I would highly recommend Nicole to look after your pet. Nicole provided lots of pictures and updates and as this was the first time leaving my puppy this provided me with lots of reassurance. Connie loved staying with Nicole and without a doubt I will be asking Nicole to look after Connie again. 🥰
Marie was absolutely amazing from start to finish. We had a meet and greet beforehand, which immediately reassured me and made me feel completely comfortable leaving my dogs in her care. Throughout their stay, Marie sent plenty of photo updates, which I really appreciated - it was so lovely to see how happy and relaxed my boys were. It looked like they had such an amazing time with her! Thank you so much, Marie, for taking such wonderful care of my boys. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you.
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 🐾❤️
We’re so grateful for the way you cared for Teddy during the week he spent with you. It was clear he felt safe, happy, and well-loved in your care. You kept us updated regularly, which gave us peace of mind while we were away, and it was lovely to see how relaxed and playful he was. Thank you again for treating Teddy like one of your own. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you to others and would happily book with you again in the future!
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!

Thank You So Much for taking such Great Care of our Little Fur Baby, Thank You.... Les & Ewelina xx
Natalie was absolutely amazing with our beagle Penelope, we have never left her before so it was hard to trust someone to look after her, Natalie was fantastic with her and gave us regular updates and pictures which made us feel at ease. I would definitely recommend Natalie and we will definitely be using her again, thank you so much xx
