“KO has been amazing with Leo, we got pictures everyday and he is well looked after. She gave him clothes and made our dog feel comfortable. We felt very at ease thanks to KO’s communication and will definitely ask her look after leo again!🩷”
About: Lifelong dog lover with plenty of hands-on experience caring for both family pets and friends’ furry companions 🐾 I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and currently have a 10-year-old Westie who still keeps us entertained with his big personality! He doesn’t live with me permanently and only visits occasionally, so your dog would have my full attention during their stay. As well as caring for my own family dogs, I’ve also looked after friends’ and relatives’ pets over the years, so I’m used to different personalities, routines, and lots of play time. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the sofa, or just a calm and comfortable space, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and right at home. I will be providing boarding services for your dogs. I currently work 1 day at home per week and work 15 minutes away from home. I would be mostly available evenings and weekends and would be able to go back home in the day if needs be. Any drop offs would need to be after work unless given notice & I can work around meetings. Back garden is fenced and a fair size. I do share a dog but he doesn't live with me and wouldn't be here when I have other dogs.
“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.”
“Rocky stayed with Dylan & his partner for 7 nights and we’d absolutely recommend :) we had a meet & greet before his stay & felt super comfortable leaving him with them. We had photo updates which was great. Picked Rocky up tired after Dylan walked him just before pick-up. Would definitely book with them again :)”
“Beverley was so welcoming and made us feel confident in leaving our dog for the first time . Duncan, Beverley's dog was so cute, bith digs got on really well. Wouldn't hesitate to use again and would recommend to friends and family.”
About: I am a Primary School Teacher in the day, but happy to look after your furry loved ones for long weekends or during school holidays. I have a high-energy Hungarian boy Vizsla myself so we enjoy long walks and cuddles on the couch. I’d be happy to look after your dog and send lots of videos and photos! I currently work full-time as a teacher, with the odd day off in the middle of the week. I am available for weekend work and boarding over school holidays! I have a detached property with a fenced garden area. I also live near parks and fields for fun with a ball, or two! We have lots of space for the dogs to run, play and snuggle!
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.
“Sandra looked after Storm for an evening and Storm had a great time and settled in so quickly with her and her partner. I got lots of videos and photos which helped put my mind at ease that Storm was having a great time. Storm can be unsure of new people, but Sandra agreed to a pre meet and also made sure she asked lots of questions so she knew how to best look after Strom. Storm also had a day visit with Sandra and her partner for a walk and had a great time. Thanks so much!”
“I cant recommend Stephanie highly enough! Im not sure Honey wanted to come home! Stephanie has a lovely, spacious home and has an ideal doggy secure front and back gardens. Stephanie is also very much a doggy person who has her own dog Millie who also is delightful. Honey has been to stay with Stephanie and Millie for a long weekend, and being a 7 month old pup, we’re still at the building confidence stage and this was to be Honeys very first big girls weekend away. Stephanie has made this a fantastic experience for her and I knew from our first meet amd greet a couple of weeks earlier, that Honey would be happy staying there. Shes had an awesome weekend so thank you so much Stephanie! Heres to the next time xx”
“Sharon looked after our much loved Cocker for 3 nights, having had a meet and greet prior, we already knew he was going to be well looked after and be happy to stay. Excellent communication which helped us to feel more relaxed leaving him. Thank you so much, we would not hesitate to ask you to look after him again in the future.”

I’m also happy to care for pets in their own home, following all instructions for feeding, walks, and routines. In any setting, I make sure pets are safe, happy, and well-looked after in a calm, caring environment.

Penny has been so well looked after and made part of the family. I am so happy as it has been her first time. She will definately be going to stay again. I had updates and photo's whilst I was away which was great. I would not hesitate to recommend to anyone who needs a Sitter. Thank you so much Bettyna and family x
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!
Marcio & his family have took Fabulous care of our little Nala while we where away on holiday, she was in a Beautiful Home from Home Environment filled with All the Love & Care you could every wish for.... 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
