“Mabel has had a lovley time maria sent me pics of mabel going for walk and playing with her dog she is so chilled out since coming back after everyone had kissed definatly recomend her for looking after your doggie”
“Thank you, Katie, for providing our boys (2 golden retrievers) with the best possible love and care. You took them into your home and made them feel safe and happy. They loved staying with you and we had piece of mind the whole time we were away as you sent regular updates. We will definitely be rebooking and recommending you to others. ☺️”
“Extremely kinda and respectful sitter, reassured me to no end with my dogs stay. This was his first time away from home and he was in excellent hands. Cannot recommend Charlie enough!”
“Michelle and Graham were lovely. We could tell that they really cared and we're amazing with Alfie. They updated us with how he wasn't getting on while he was there which was really reasuring as we have never left him before. When we went to pick him up he seemed very happy and settled and we could he was comfy and trusted them.”
“Paul is very friendly and knowledgeable. Chip had a wonderful time with him. I felt that Chip was made to feel part of the family. I was kept well informed about what Chip was doing and how he was getting on. I would thoroughly recommend Paul to anyone.”
“Holly was fantastic and we couldn’t have asked for better care for our puppy Otis. We received regular updates and photos of how he was getting on and upon collecting Otis he seemed calm and very happy. Holly and her family were amazing and we feel we have found Otis’s new second home for when we go away. Thank you Holly!”
“If you want a home from home for your doggy then I would highly recommend Monica. Gino stayed with Monica, Pete and ollie their cockapoo for a week whilst we attended our daughter's wedding in Italy. They took care of him and loved him as if her was their own and he had a fantastic holiday with them. Monica kept in touch constantly with updates so this allowed us to relax and enjoy our break without worrying about our furr baby. Monica is great with the dogs and really understands dog behaviours and psychology. I would definitely love for them to look after gino again.”
“Rolo had a Fantastic time with Georgia and family for the week. Georgia kept us up to date with Rolos adventures through messages and pictures. Would certainly be using Georgia again.”
About: I have always loved animals and dogs in particular. I do think of them as family members and have always taken care of them in this way. I have learned a lot from training and taking care of my own dog. I am currently working part time in an ad-hoc capacity so choose my schedule. I do have a little boy who will sometimes need to be with me, he is used to dogs and very gentle. We are at home a lot of the time so looking after another dog would fit into my schedule very well. I have a fenced in garden and one friendly dog, lots of dog toys and we are often out playing in the garden. They are welcome to come inside or out as they need while they are here.
“We couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Shunqi and Bradley! They were so lovely, friendly and accommodating, and we felt completely comfortable leaving Coco with them after the meet and greet! We received 3-4 updates a day with plenty of photos and videos, and Coco enjoyed lots of lovely walks, attention, pup cups and even a new toy! Such a sweet gesture. He was so happy and settled when we picked him up - he’d clearly had the best time! We’re so grateful for how well they both cared for him and would 100% recommend them. Thank you both for showering Coco with so much love and affection. We’ll definitely be booking again! ❤️”
“Our first time using dog boarding for mollie so I was unsure and uneasy about a few things and I can 100% recommend celine and Leigh, nice and easy drop off/pick ups and so friendly. I felt at ease knowing she was being well looked after the whole time, and had lots of photos and messages updates etc. Mollie will definitely be returning for our next holiday! Thank you!❤️”
“Sharron is a lovely person, very caring and just perfect for our much-cherished Labrador. She made him feel at home and he seemed very happy, which was important to us. Highly recommended.”
“This was our first time using sam/rover and can honestly say its best thing we've done. We were having issues with our previous sitter and we needed a change. Glad we picked sam to look after our ela as she and her family treated her as if she was her own❤️ we got messages,vids and reassurance from Sam that ela was having a ball and we can't thank her enough for that. We are glad we have her booked back in for our trip to the States this year?. Ela says woof woof and I see you in June (if not before ?). Ela & the macs”
“Jayne is a knowledgeable person, who clearly loves dogs. She came ro meet our dog& showed affection in the same we that we do. At the start of our dogs stay we were regularly updated whilst on our holiday, with photos and messages. We felt happy with the contact and care our dog received 😊 The distance between us was shortened by Jayne collecting& also dropping off our dog at our home. We can 100% recommend her& husband as genuine dog lovers& great boarders with a history of caring for dogs from all backgrounds. We would not hesitate to book again”
“Alison is a lovely lady who clearly adores animals. My boy has bad separation anxiety so I was worried about leaving him overnight and away from home. After our initial meet Enzo went to stay with Alison for a few hours a handful of times to get him used to being somewhere new and with someone new. He was totally happy and relaxed with her on his smaller visits and while I was away. Alison was so accommodating and helpful and we will continue to use her services in the future.”
“Emily and her son took care of our Lab Nala for 8 days and Nala had a fantastic time, she’s come home and is happy and content with no issues whatsoever, I’d highly recommend Emily and her services ❤️❤️❤️”
“John & Marion are amazing, after meeting Barney and showing him around their home we booked him in for a couple of days and he had a great time. We received pictures and updates which was very comforting after leaving Barney for the first time at 4 and half years old. He is already booked in for a longer stay and the stress of leaving him when we go away has been taken away. Thank you guys & see you soon”
“This was our first time using a pet sitter and Matthew and Greta made the whole experience so much easier. They immediately made Beau feel welcome and weren't at all phased by the fact she is a four month old puppy. We received regular pupdates and Beau was really happy there.We have already booked in Beau's next stay with Matthew, Greta and their lovely children.”
About: I’ve grown up with both cats and dogs and have spent my whole life caring for animals. Over the years, I’ve regularly looked after pets for friends and family while they were away, including feeding, walking, playing, administering basic care, and making sure they felt comfortable and loved in their owners’ absence. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy to care for your pets. I treat every animal as if they were my own, paying close attention to their routines, needs, and personalities. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply some company and cuddles, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of care and attention while you’re away. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule, so I’m able to spend lots of time with the pets in my care. Whether your pet enjoys company, playtime, regular walks, or simply having someone nearby, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention throughout the day. I have a secure fenced garden and a friendly indoor cat. While she is gentle and calm around other animals, she can be a little nervous around unfamiliar pets. To ensure a stress-free environment for everyone, I can keep her on a separate floor of the house when needed. My home has three floors, providing plenty of space to safely separate pets if required. I will always make sure that both your pet and my cat are comfortable, happy, and well cared for during their stay!
“Charlie’s second home! - 5 STARS Leaving our cocker spaniel puppy Charlie for a whole week is never easy, but Mandi & Simon made it so easy. As a cocker at this age he can be a real handful, but they understood his breed and energy perfectly. Along with big adventures on the beach and in the fields, they had lots of enrichment games and mental stimulation to keep him busy and settled. He was absolutely spoilt and so loved from start to finish. We were kept updated with lovely pictures and messages throughout the week, which gave us complete peace of mind knowing he was safe, happy and thriving. Thank you Mandi & Simon for giving him the best time — he came home tired, happy and already missing you both! We highly recommend you to anyone looking for five star care and peace of mind.”

“had a really positive experience with Emma looking after my cats with drop-in visits. She was reliable, caring and clearly took the time to make sure they were happy and well looked after. It was reassuring knowing they were in such good hands while I was away. She kept me updated after each visit, which gave me great peace of mind. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to look after their pets.”
“Hayley looked after our cats for 11 days whilst we went on holiday. It was our first time using someone we didn’t know and we were very nervous! After meeting prior to us leaving though, I knew they’d be in great hands. Both cats went to her immediately! Sure enough, she was fantastic.❤️ One of our cats needs medication twice a day, monitored food etc and both need a love n fuss and they were covered with abundance on both fronts! Hayley sent us updates and photos twice a day, every day whilst we were away and I never once had to worry about my pets being cared for❤️ their litter, feeders, fountain etc were all kept immaculate. Never once had to worry about her being in my house etc. Always on time, everything we’d asked of her sorted (even cheekily asked her to water a couple of my plants and they’re thriving ahaha). Plus after returning off the back of a loooong travel day, she had left us such a cute welcome home gift and custom card 🥰 I truly couldn’t be more grateful and will deffo recommend her/use her services again any time I’m away from now on. Thank you so much again Hayley, you are amaaazin! Xxx”

“Tara is so so lovely and was amazing looking after my cat, she communicated regularly, sent photos and updates and went above and beyond what she needed to do. Honestly couldn’t thank her enough and will 100% book again, I have one happy fur baby who usually sulks when I come back from a night away but he loved her! Thank you Tara 🤍”

“Delenn has been great at looking after our cat Hols while we've been away for a week. She was easy to communicate to from the beginning, when trying to organise everything, and came over beforehand to met us and Hols. She's been very respectful of our house and we've found everything in perfect order. We have already spoken about her looking after Hols again, especially as he seems to have warmed to her quite quickly. We would definitely recommend her services to others”

“Wonderful couple who made me feel I had chosen the perfect day care for Lando my amazing puppy. They sent photos and kept me posted on how his first day went and even went the extra mile to bring him home to me. Fantastic they are Landos first choice and mine too. Looking forward to any trips I might have now knowing he will be in excellent caring hands rather than home alone.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs since being a little child. From being puppies to adult hood I have the experience and knowledge of how dogs can behave and interact.

I understand how dogs may react differently depending on the situation and how to manage this. I currently work from home full time 5 days a week on weekdays. This gives me more flexibility regarding my work life balance along with my home life. I also have access to a car. In order to care for pets in the owners home I will get to know the animal and have through interactions with them in order to access their needs. Conversations with the owners will also provide me with more information in order to care for them in the best possible way.
“We were more than delighted to leave Frankie with Paul. He is very professional and supportive and we were very comfortable with his commitment to providing the ideal experience for Frankie and indeed for us. The handovers were seamless and well planned. We would not hesitate to use Paul's services again.”
“Piper was clearly very happy with Ian and their little pug. He sent me photos throughout the day and it was a relief to know she was okay, as that was the first time I’d left her with someone that wasn’t family. She’s been a few times now and is always excited when she arrives, she knows where she is! Ian’s got a large secure garden and Piper enjoys playing and sniffing. Their little pug is a sweetheart and she was happy having Piper in her house. I will continue to use Ian as my doggy daycare - Piper is very happy with him.”

About: Me and my wife Katy are a dog-loving family with real, hands-on experience — not just with easy dogs. Our beagle Oscar (12) has been with us for 6 years. He's a committed food thief, so we're well used to keeping counters, bins, and pockets secure, and he's trained in sit, down, stand, leave it, recall, and roll over. Our husky Amber (4) has been with us for 3 years — she's an attention seeker, but that doesn't faze us; we know dogs like her just need someone happy to give them the engagement they're after. We usually walk our own dogs at lunchtime and after tea, but we're happy to adapt to whatever routine suits your dog best — whether that's their usual feeding times, walk schedule, or any specific habits they're used to. Both our own dogs are on specific food regimes, so we're used to weighing out meals precisely and giving supplements on schedule — it's something we look for in other carers too, so you can trust us to follow your instructions diligently, right down to the last gram. We also have a 6ft fenced garden for safe off-lead time. I'm currently between jobs, which means I have plenty of flexibility and availability during the week. Pet care fits easily into my day — whether it's a lunchtime walk, an evening routine, or being on hand throughout the day for feeding, play, and company. I'm not juggling a 9-5, so I can give your dog consistent attention and stick closely to whatever schedule they're used to. In my own home, dogs benefit from a secure 6ft fenced garden for safe off-lead time, a settled routine, and the same care I give my own two dogs — Oscar (12, beagle) and Amber (4, husky). My own dogs sleep in the kitchen overnight, but I'm happy to adapt sleeping arrangements to suit your dog's needs and what they're used to at home. I pay close attention to feeding, weighing out meals precisely and giving supplements on schedule if needed, and I'm happy to follow any specific instructions around diet, medication, or habits. For walks, I usually go out at lunchtime and after tea, but I'm flexible and happy to fit around what your dog is used to. In a pet owner's home, I follow the same principles — sticking to their normal routine, feeding schedule, and any training cues they respond to (like sit, down, leave it, or recall), so the visit feels as familiar and low-stress as possible for them.
About: Hi!! I have 40 years experience with animals. I've had cats most of my life, for the last 5 years I’ve had fish, but the love of our lives was Hooch our Dogue De Bordeaux, who we had the pleasure of knowing for only a short 4 years, since then there has been a big hole in our hearts. We can’t bring ourselves to get another dog just yet, so we would love to share yours 🥰 I call into my friends on a weekly basis and check her babies, Stanley and Sidney who are Italian Greyhounds. I work casual hours at a school on an as-needed basis, so my schedule can be quite flexible and I’m often available during the daytime as well as after school. My availability varies depending on when I’m needed at school, but I keep my calendar updated and open so you can easily see when I’m free. During the school holidays I have even greater availability for doggy day care, walks and drop-in visits. Your pet will be treated as one of the family while in my care. We have a large, secure enclosed garden with plenty of space to play and relax, and pets are welcome to make themselves comfortable in our home, including on the furniture! I will always follow your usual feeding, walking and care routine and make sure I understand any individual needs beforehand. I’m very happy to arrange a meet-and-greet before their first visit so you and your pet can get to know me and feel completely comfortable.
About: My husband and I have looked after dogs for a number of years. These have varied, from puppies to adults, small to large, as well as high energy, confident to more nervous rescue dogs. What their stay looks like, is shaped around the needs of the dogs, their current routines, enrichment activities, exciting walks and any specific requests from their owners. We are passionate about creating an environment where a dog can thrive and develop in a home away from home. We have our own gorgeous pooch called Bonnie. She is very relaxed around other dogs, as she has socialised with dogs both inside and outside the home since we adopted her in 2024. She's very independent and calm in the house, but loves to explore with her fellow dogs when out and about on a walk. We also volunteer at a dog shelter, where we walk, train and lead enrichment activities with Romanian Rescue dogs. Through this experience working with a brilliant dog trainer and head of the charity, we understand that every dog is totally different, therefore, their care plan and routine need to reflect as much and be tailored to their personalities. As a result, we are confident with rescue dogs or those who are anxious and less confident. We typically take the dogs out for a morning walk, which will be roughly an hour. I work full time from home, which allows me to be home all day with the dogs. We will then have a shorter second walk, with playtime and enrichment thrown in! We have a fenced garden, as well as a field two minutes from our house, where dogs have plenty of space to run and play as they wish!

About: Hi I'm Monica, mummy to Olly the Cockapoo and wife to Pete a proud Yorkshireman. Together, we are delighted to offer your special fur babies, our comfy home for when you have to take a break. We live on a quiet cul-de-sac, our home offers a secure garden and we are lucky to be having lots of fabulous country walks right outside our doorstep. Muddy walks are never a problem, we love nothing more that our doggies to be free and enjoy their daily walks. A fully equipped doggy shower in the garage, means that there are no restrictions on the amount of fun that can be had outdoors. As well as varied and exciting daily walks I will also engage your babies in fun and challenging mind games to combat boredom and spice up their daily routine. We often weave a beach day into our stays as well, of course this is season and weather dependent. We do not mind sharing our sofas and bed with your dog unless he/she is a shedder and then we would politely ask them (with a homemade doggy sausage) to use their own bed. Olly on the other hand, has no such restrictions and is more than happy to share his own beds. I work from home every day, so your baby will have plenty of human company and cuddles on tap. Myself and Olly would like to meet our doggy guests and their humans ahead of their stay if possible, just to make sure they like us (we will greet them with plenty more of those homemade treats to ensure we get a warm reception :) ), but I understand that sometimes life has a habit of throwing us curveballs and you might need care at the last minute, talk to us and we will always try our best to accommodate :) Routine is very important and so I will work with you on exactly what kind of care you would like me to provide, and will make sure that I follow it as closely as possible to help with the transition. Building a relationship based on trust with your precious baby is my number one priority, I work extra hard for that to happen and it's my aim to make sure your baby REALLY likes it with us, and would be happy to return again on his own accord. We are delighted to provide all of the complimentary treats and snacks for all the stays. Monica makes them herself, all 100% natural meat derived, calcium enriched with absolutely no fillers. They will enjoy elevenses mid morning, a little lunchtime munch, a mid afternoon chew and a just before bedtime snack is a must. I will discuss these in more detail and I need to mention that we are happy to accommodate raw feeders and kibble alike. My training style is positively led, I reward good habits and behaviour and completely ignore the less favourable ones, simple as that. I will never scold or shout at your dog, I do not believe it works and I wouldn't dream of doing it to my own baby. Rest assured, I will treat your own treasure with the same respect and shower them with as much love as they will allow me. Because much to my disappointment, I learned that not all of them are cuddlers :) And do not worry about missing a thing, I will inundate you with updates whether they are here for a day or eleven !!! photos and videos of your babes will be sent in abundance, so you can check and watch them enjoying their own good times away from home, while you enjoy yours. <3 One more thing, Because we strive to offer a high quality of care we have made the decision that your baby will be our only guest for the duration of his stay. We will of course accept 2 pets from the same household and sometimes we will accept some doggy day care guests, only pets we know well and have stayed with us before and only after we have asked for your agreement to this arrangement. If any of this sounds like it would be a good fit for you and your babies please drop us a line, we look forward to meeting you :)
“Lucia was amazing with my dogs. She came at all the specified times and gave me lots of updates and photos. I felt completely at ease knowing she was looking after my dogs. Lucia communicated brilliantly and I’ll definitely book her again. Thank you Lucia”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was young, having 3 family dogs in the home. I love the outdoors and walking loads too for the more adventurous dogs too! I work hybrid so have the flexibility to WFH meaning lots of cuddles and toilet breaks, plenty of walks and engagement. I also work half days on Friday so have the availability to walk on Friday afternoons too. I am happy to view homes before dog sitting and understand the environment in which your pet lives in, will require the basic needs of your dog before hand and learn about their habits (no off lead etc)
“Julie has been a god send, I used this service due to being out of action after an operation. We did 2 visits to get to know my 2 dogs then a daily walk every day this week, my dogs took to Julie so well and were excited to see her every day. I cannot recommend her highly enough, great peace of mind, and a bonus is that she’s a lovely lady, thank you so much.”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and currently have two family dogs at my mum’s house, so caring for dogs has always been a big part of my day-to-day life. During secondary school, I volunteered at Tia Rescue in Doncaster, helping care for dogs with different personalities and needs. While living in Canada, I also provided dog sitting for guests staying at Kananaskis Mountain Lodge, caring for dogs while their owners were out exploring or relaxing. I’m patient, reliable and genuinely love spending time with animals — whether that’s walks, playtime, cuddles or simply keeping them company and comfortable while you’re away. I currently can’t have a dog of my own where I live, so this is honestly the next best thing for me. I love getting to spend time with different dogs and making sure they feel happy, safe and well cared for. I currently work part-time at a coffee shop, so my schedule is flexible and gives me good availability throughout the week for walks, drop-ins and pet sitting. I enjoy getting outdoors more and love spending time with dogs, so pet care fits naturally into my routine. I’m happy to keep owners updated with messages and photos so you know your dog is safe and happy while you’re away. I live in a home with a fully fenced garden where dogs can safely play and relax. I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and understand how important routine, patience and reassurance are when caring for someone else’s pet. I’ll always make sure dogs feel comfortable, well looked after and treated like part of the family while in my care.
About: I have grown up with a variety of animals my entire life, all varying in ages and sizes. I currently provide pet sitting and walking in addition to my current full time job for friends and family. This includes looking after my sister’s puppy and training him where possible. I am currently working full time Monday to Friday in a college. With my weekends free, I work from home on Mondays and Fridays which allow me to pet sit on these days, I can do overnight stays so long as I don’t have an event. With my job I sometimes do overtime which allows me to book off additional days for pet sitting should I need to. I prefer looking after pets in the pet owners home as I believe pets deserve to feel at home and safe, what safer space is there for them than a space they live in. I will provide the upmost care and respect in your home, I am also DBS checked
About: Hi! I’m a 26-year-old dog lover from the UK who has recently moved back home after living in Australia. I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life, from Jack Russells to Staffies, and I absolutely love spending time with them. Both of my family dogs were rescues, so I understand the importance of patience, building trust, and taking the time to understand each dog’s individual personality and needs. I know that every dog is different, whether they’re energetic and playful, nervous and shy, or simply love a good cuddle! While living in Australia, I regularly looked after dogs through Mad Paws, taking them on walks and welcoming them into my home for longer stays. This gave me valuable hands-on experience caring for dogs with different personalities, routines and needs, as well as building trust with both dogs and their owners. I have my own car, so I’m happy to travel to nearby areas for dog walks, drop-in visits or pet sitting. I’m reliable, caring and genuinely passionate about dogs, and I’ll always treat your furry friend as if they were my own. 🐾❤️ I’m looking to start dog walking and pet care full-time, so I’ll have plenty of availability during the day. I’m flexible with times and happy to work around your dog’s routine and needs. When caring for pets in their own home, I make sure they feel comfortable, safe and settled in their familiar surroundings. I take the time to get to know their usual routine, including feeding times, walks, playtime and any other care they need. I understand that being away from their owners can be unsettling for some pets, so I provide plenty of attention, reassurance and companionship while respecting their individual personality and boundaries. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away. Most importantly, I’ll treat your home with respect and care for your pet as if they were my own.

“Extremely kinda and respectful sitter, reassured me to no end with my dogs stay. This was his first time away from home and he was in excellent hands. Cannot recommend Charlie enough!”
“Paul is very friendly and knowledgeable. Chip had a wonderful time with him. I felt that Chip was made to feel part of the family. I was kept well informed about what Chip was doing and how he was getting on. I would thoroughly recommend Paul to anyone.”
“Holly was fantastic and we couldn’t have asked for better care for our puppy Otis. We received regular updates and photos of how he was getting on and upon collecting Otis he seemed calm and very happy. Holly and her family were amazing and we feel we have found Otis’s new second home for when we go away. Thank you Holly!”
“Rolo had a Fantastic time with Georgia and family for the week. Georgia kept us up to date with Rolos adventures through messages and pictures. Would certainly be using Georgia again.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Shunqi and Bradley! They were so lovely, friendly and accommodating, and we felt completely comfortable leaving Coco with them after the meet and greet! We received 3-4 updates a day with plenty of photos and videos, and Coco enjoyed lots of lovely walks, attention, pup cups and even a new toy! Such a sweet gesture. He was so happy and settled when we picked him up - he’d clearly had the best time! We’re so grateful for how well they both cared for him and would 100% recommend them. Thank you both for showering Coco with so much love and affection. We’ll definitely be booking again! ❤️”
“Our first time using dog boarding for mollie so I was unsure and uneasy about a few things and I can 100% recommend celine and Leigh, nice and easy drop off/pick ups and so friendly. I felt at ease knowing she was being well looked after the whole time, and had lots of photos and messages updates etc. Mollie will definitely be returning for our next holiday! Thank you!❤️”

“Jayne is a knowledgeable person, who clearly loves dogs. She came ro meet our dog& showed affection in the same we that we do. At the start of our dogs stay we were regularly updated whilst on our holiday, with photos and messages. We felt happy with the contact and care our dog received 😊 The distance between us was shortened by Jayne collecting& also dropping off our dog at our home. We can 100% recommend her& husband as genuine dog lovers& great boarders with a history of caring for dogs from all backgrounds. We would not hesitate to book again”
“Alison is a lovely lady who clearly adores animals. My boy has bad separation anxiety so I was worried about leaving him overnight and away from home. After our initial meet Enzo went to stay with Alison for a few hours a handful of times to get him used to being somewhere new and with someone new. He was totally happy and relaxed with her on his smaller visits and while I was away. Alison was so accommodating and helpful and we will continue to use her services in the future.”
“John & Marion are amazing, after meeting Barney and showing him around their home we booked him in for a couple of days and he had a great time. We received pictures and updates which was very comforting after leaving Barney for the first time at 4 and half years old. He is already booked in for a longer stay and the stress of leaving him when we go away has been taken away. Thank you guys & see you soon”
“This was our first time using a pet sitter and Matthew and Greta made the whole experience so much easier. They immediately made Beau feel welcome and weren't at all phased by the fact she is a four month old puppy. We received regular pupdates and Beau was really happy there.We have already booked in Beau's next stay with Matthew, Greta and their lovely children.”
“Helen and Andy were absolutely amazing with our dog, Kobe! This was Kobe’s first time staying away from home, so we were a bit nervous— especially since he’s an energetic miniature cockapoo, but they made the entire experience really good and reassuring. From the start, it was clear they were both experienced with handling high-energy dogs. Kobe instantly took to them, which says a lot. They kept him active, engaged, and happy the whole time, and we could tell he was getting plenty of attention and care. We also really appreciated the regular updates—they gave us peace of mind knowing Kobe was doing great and having fun (especially playing with Bonnie!). We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Helen and Andy again! Thank you!”
