    Tayla looked after our dog for 10 days in August, and we could not have been happier with the service. Tayla was a dream to deal with, super easy going, sending us lots of updates and photos/videos. She and her girls welcomed our springer spaniel like an old friend, and it took a load off our mind leaving our dog in such lovely set up. I’d highly recommend Tayla!

    Laura did a fantastic job minding BiBi on our wedding day. She was so flexible and understanding, bringing Bibi to the venue for pictures and then taking her off again which we were so thankful for. Bibi is an anxious girl but Laura really put her at ease and she seemed so comfortable with her. Would highly recommend Laura's service!

    Beverley is so kind and you can tell she's such a dog lover so we were delighted to have Nala stay with her! Nala loved the company of Beverley's doggies and it was great to meet up in advance. She responded and booked quickly and was great to meet up with ahead of time. I felt reassured Nala was well looked after and most importantly, she was relaxed and happy coming home.

    I highly recommend Kathleen as a sitter. She & her family were very kind, making Púca feel comfortable and at home from the start. She sent me regular updates with photos, both on walks and relaxing at home, which meant a lot. He is nervous around new people but settled in here very quickly. I felt reassured he was well looked after and most importantly, Púca was relaxed and happy coming home 🥰 will 100% be bringing Púca back! Thank you Kathleen❤️
