1. Victoria R.
“Vicci has looked after our 2 family dogs many times before, for both walks and longer holidays. She is a responsible, dedicated, and experienced dog owner, and my two are always happy to see her come through the door! I trust Vicci 100% and she is always my first port of call if I need any help with them.”


2. Ash S.

“Nara had a great stay with Ash and her family!! Ash was really excellent at communicating and sending updates with pics to let us know how Nara was getting on. Would definitely recommend and I'm sure Nara would love to stay again!”


3. Sandra S.

“Bailey had his first over overnight stay and Sandra was absolutely brilliant with him. Their house and location is beautiful, offering huge space inside and out so great for an energetic 2 year old Cockapoo! Will definitely rebook when needed.”


4. Murali K.

“Murali was absolutely wonderful - he took our whippet, Poppet, at short notice and looked after her beautifully. He sent lots of photos and videos whilst she was staying with him and his family, and was highly responsive at all times. I would definitely recommend him and will book Poppy in again with him whenever possible.”


5. Karolina M.

“5 star service - faultless. Mishka had a wonderful time, plenty of attention and treated as part of the family. Recommend Karikina unreservedly. Thankyou X”


6. Rachel M.

“Ruby had a lovely time with Rachel over Christmas. She’s only 7 months old and has only been left for a maximum of two nights before but I left her for 5 nights. Rachel looked after her so well, giving her a home from home with lots of cuddles and walks and play with the other doggies. I was kept updated with how things were going and had no concerns at all. Rachel gave me some helpful encouragement and tips when I picked Ruby up too - it’s so nice when you feel your pup has had a fab time but also had some extra little bits of training! I won’t hesitate to book Ruby in with Rachel again.”


7. Rosemary S.

“Archie had a lovely time with Rosie. She has a genuine affection for dogs and welcomed him into her home like he was her own. She kept me updated about his stay and I was able to completely relax, knowing Archie was in safe hands. Thanks Rosie x”


8. Chloe M.
About: Having grown up surrounded by paws and wagging tails, I understand what makes dogs happy and comfortable. As I work-from-home throughout the week, I'm there throughout the day to provide constant companionship, care and cuddles. Your pup will enjoy daily hour-long walks during the week, and longer, more adventurous hikes on weekends - all regardless of weather! All accompanied by my own friendly dog, Don, who is excited and ready to welcome your pooch into our home with a wagging tail, a full toy-box and lots of play! While you're away making memories, rest assured your dog will be making their own. I'll send regular updates with photos of their adventures so you can see their happy face. My work-from-home schedule means your dog gets consistent attention and is never left alone for long periods. Having shared my home with dogs all my life, I know each has their unique personality and needs. I'm committed to following your care instructions precisely and maintaining your dog's familiar routines - including giving medicine and baths. Book with confidence knowing your pet isn't just being watched - they're being welcomed into a dog-loving home where they'll receive the same love and care you provide. Go enjoy your holiday worry-free while your pup enjoys theirs with me and my dog! I work full-time at home 5 days a week and can offer a daily hour-long countryside walks with longer walks at the weekend - in rain or shine! My partner and I live at home with a fenced private garden. We share our house with our 2 year old Chihuahua-mix dog, Don, who is full of energy and loves to run and play. While we don't allow dogs on the furniture, we do love cuddles with them on the carpet, or on our laps, in front of the wood-burner! We feed Don twice a day (AM/PM) and give him a little post-walk chew but can happily replicate whatever feeding routine you follow at home to ensure your pet is as comfortable as possible (we usually ask for you to provide their ususal food to help them settle in). If you're available, before your pooch's stay, we'd love for the two dogs to have a little meet and greet to ensure that they are friendly (Don literally loves every dog so we don't expect there to be any issues).


9. Mea & John T.

“Mea has looked after my Cockapoo twice now and I will continue to rebook. She provides a friendly and welcoming environment for him as well her dogs being good natured and easy for him to get on with. She provides lots of garden time, offers to walk the dogs at lunch and provides lots of photo/ video updates throughout the day. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter! 🐶”


10. Catriona M.

“Would like to thank Catriona and Ben for taking great care of our Arthur 🐾, we met them beforehand and introduced him and they took to each other immediately. We could go away without worry, they sent photos and updates to keep us advised on how he was settling in as we all know our pets are our family and need to know they are being looked after while we enjoy ourselves. We collected Arthur and could tell he was happy, so thank you for the care and love and we will be in contact in the near future x Arthur sends you a lick and cuddle 🐶”


11. Claire P.

“Claire was absolutely fab fitting mabel in for new years eve. She's a very new puppy and Claire kept me updated with pictures and messages letting me know how she was doing. Mabel had a great time and I would definitely recommend and use Claire again 😊”


12. Keeva F.
“Keeva looked after our family dog and he was almost refusing to leave when we came to pick him up! We had a very happy pup taking him home that evening.”


13. Jasmine L.

“Jasmine was absolutely amazing with our pup Izzy! She's had her overnight previously but this time it was for a whole week. Unfortunately it wasn't straightforward because Izzy had an ear infection, but Jasmine was amazing! She noticed that her ear was worsening, kept us up to date, and even ended up taking our poor furbaby to the vets for us! It's such a worry being away while your pet is unwell, but Jasmine made us feel so much better with regular updates and pics. Also despite being unwell Izzy seemed really relaxed and comfortable with Jasmine which says it all really!”


14. Laura S.

“Laura and Sam are so lovely, Ted and Meg like being with them ,they get thoroughly spoilt, and with lots of cuddles on the sofa and lovely walks, I would highly recommend them.”


15. Carlie N.

“Carlie was friendly. Chico came back home happy, seems like him had a lovely time. Thank you.”


16. holly s.

“Holly and her family are just wonderful. They looked after my 9 year old sprocker at really short notice and he had the absolute best stay with them. He was looked after like he was one of the family and I'm not convinced he really wanted to come home 😆. I would highly recommend Holly and will definitely be sending my boy back there again. Thank you again Holly and family for taking such great care of Jasper x”

“Amanda was amazing with my pup! He didn't want to leave and sat at the end of the road refusing to leave!!! Fantastic communication and lots of photos of my pup comfy and fast asleep, thank you!!”


19. Sara R.

“Before Sara, we had never left Tali with anyone other than family. Sara has completely put our mind at ease. She sends us regular updates and pictures. She also plays enriching games with Tali and genuinely wants to support with ongoing training and engagement. Will be rebooking.”


20. Victoria & Matthew G.

“Fantastic, just amazing. I only met Victoria, but she was lovely and obviously cared so much about our little guy's welfare. The house dog, Harley, is just the friendliest, loveliest dog ever!
