“Pippin had a fantastic stay with Jane. I received pictures and videos of her every day. She was so well looked after. Thank you Jane and family x”


“Karolina looked after my very nervous cat and naughty chihuahua when I was moving house. I was quite apprehensive but Karolina immediately put me at ease when I dropped them off and she welcomed the pets. She knew exactly what to do to calm them down and I left feeling reassured they were in good hands. She sent me some cute photos of them during the day and they looked perfectly comfortable. I would definitely go back to her and would recommend her.”


“Lexi had a fantastic time with Patricia. From the initial booking enquiry, Patricia’s communication has been very good. She sent us daily updates throughout Lexi’s stay and made sure we could relax knowing she was in good hands. Thank you Patricia.”


About: My mum has always had an irrational fear of dogs so have never had the honour to own one myself until I moved away from home. Growing up I have often dog sat for my godparents who have 2 beautiful miniature schnauzers and my neighbours Jack Russell. Since I was 19, I was using borrow my doggy to get experience with different dog breeds and learn the needs of each pup. I work full time primarily working from home with the odd day on site. I love spending time outdoors especially now with my cocker spaniel pup! I have a 3 bed house with a wrap around fenced garden for your pup to roam around in. I don’t allow any pets upstairs so should your pup stay overnight, they need to be okay sleeping downstairs. As I have a dog of my own, I do not take on non-neutered male dogs and they must get along well with other dogs.

“Natalia and Slawek took really good care of Ted. Very good communication during the whole process and I thoroughly recommend them. I will definitely be using them again 👍”


“I received lots of photos, videos and updates during Momo and Mochi's stay so felt reassured that they were well looked after. Ko L even set up a special room for them to sleep with a little tent etc which was very nice of her. I would definitely book again.”


“Sandy was great looking after our puppy while we were on holiday for a week. Her communication was great, she was on it with the daily updates, and is clearly great with dogs. She made a big effort to understand where we're up to with his training and how she could build on that while we were away. As well as making sure he was as comfortable as possible. We feel like we made a great decision leaving our puppy with Sandy after picking him up, he seems like he had a great time and the experience feels like it was really constructive for him as a new puppy.”


“Sam had another lovely stay with Francis again, Definitely home from home. Reassuring to know he's happy there & well looked after..Cant recommend Francis highly enough. Thank you again.”


“Suzanne did a great job looking after Lucy and I could tell she made sure Lucy had a fantastic time. I saw a video of Lucy enjoying playing fetch in the garden and having lots of fun with the other dog Cooper. Definately would recommended and I will be going back to Suzanne again!”


“This was the first time we have ever left Skylar and we were quite nervous as skylar is a very nervous dog and doesn't trust people she does not know. However Skylar took to Claudia pretty quickly and built a bond with her and became Claudia's shadow 🥰. We were provided with daily updates, photos and videos of Skylar having fun on her walks and snuggling up to Claudia, this made us feel relaxed and happy knowing Skylar was being cared for and looked after and the trust Skylar built up with Claudia was amazing. Thank you so much for looking after our little girl. Xx”


“Shirley is really friendly and easy to work with. She’s is very welcoming, kind and caring to our dog. Communication is very prompt and lots of it which is always a good thing. She’s very accommodating and Domino had a great time with her. I surprised he came home, she spoilt him that much! Thank you, Shirley, Domino is looking forward to staying again!”


“Megan is a very lovely sitter, and communicated with me well throughout my dogs stay with her. She gave them lots of cuddles and play and took them on 2 walks. I’ve already booked in with her again and dropped the dogs off again this morning, the dogs were very excited to see her so they clearly had a brilliant time too xx”

About: Hello, I'm Katie, an experienced pawrent, dog walker and dog boarder. In 2020, I ended my dog walking/boarding business and focused on my two whippet boys who became nervous around people and other dogs in their old age. After losing my boys recently, I am looking for good boys and girls to spoil with lots of love. I've always been a dog lover and the house seems very empty at the moment, I'm hoping to offer the home comforts that kennels don't generally provide. I hope to be a home from home for your pup so you can relax on holiday knowing your he or she is well cared for. I'm working part time hours at the moment and hope to work the dog walking and sitting around my time off. There may be periods of between 2-4 hours that the animals are alone on my working days. I live on a very quiet street, and our front has a large driveway but isnt secured with a fence. The rear garden is completely secure with stone and wooden fencing.

About: Hi there! I’m Annabelle 🌞 — an all-around animal lover who’s been surrounded by wagging tails and wet noses since day one 🐾. My very first experience with dogs was as a baby, snuggled up next to our family Staffy named Aussie Dog (yes, that was really her name!) 🐶. When I turned 9, my mum gave me the best gift ever: my own pup, a Fox Terrier named Rosy. Not long after, we welcomed my Nan’s dachshund, Molly, and since then I’ve never known life without a four-legged friend nearby. I live with my partner, and while we’re not quite ready for our own pup just yet, we’d love to share our love and care with yours — whether that’s through dog walks, drop-in visits, a long stay at a home away from home or just being an extra pair of helping hands when life gets busy 🦴. A little more about me: I work full-time Monday to Friday, but I’m lucky to have flexi-hours ⏰ and can take up to a 1.5-hour lunch break. Plus, I work from home two days a week 🏡 — perfect for giving your furry friend some extra attention and companionship during the day. I’m caring, reliable, and absolutely adore getting to know each animal’s unique personality. Whether your dog is a bouncy ball of energy or a mellow couch cuddler, I’ll treat them like one of my own ❤️. Before any booking, I’d love to meet you and your pet to make sure we’re all a great match. It’s really important to me that your pet feels happy, comfortable, and safe while in my care 🐕🦺. I work full-time Monday to Friday, but I have flexible start and finish times ⏰ and can take up to a 1.5-hour lunch break. I also work from home two days a week, which gives me even more availability to care for your pup during the day. At home, I have a secure fenced yard. If needed, I’m also happy to crate your dog to ensure a safe and calm environment for them to settle into.

“Simon was amazing with Marlo. Marlo was upset to leave him which is a good sign that he had a great time. Definitely recommend and will be using Simon in the future.”


“Lovely family setting for my dog Maya to stay with. Lovely to see all the dogs having a lovely time with each other. I always felt Maya was being well loved and happy! Highly recommended thanks!”


“This was a great experience, would thoroughly recommend Sam to anyone who needs a sitter. Russell had a fabulous time and had lots of adventures while staying with Sam and his dogs.”


“Marcio was great looking after Rudy. Sent videos and pictures regularly. He was understanding when we got stuck in traffic and late picking our dog up. Would definitely use him again.”


About: I grew up with large and medium size dogs, and I got my own little muppet 4 years ago. We often dog sit for friends when they are out for a day for a holiday. I’m working a 4in 4 off schedule, however I’m working from home with the ability keep a feeding schedule, get some play breaks, take the rascals out for a walk or just let them out to play in the garden. I have a fenced garden and a 4 year old cavapoochon to keep your doggo accompanied and well tired. Also have plenty of toys, spare leads and collars for emergency situations :)
