Chris and Colin have looked after our ALD on several occasions now, and has loved every stay. She gets so excited when she sees them.
It is so reassuring knowing that Jessie is safe and lovingly cared for - a real home away from home!

Chris and Colin look after my one year old cocker spaniel Tiggy. She has the most wonderful time with them. They are warm and caring and absolutely love spending time with Tiggy as much as she does with them! They even help me wean Tiggy off adding human food to her normal food! They are utterly wonderful and would t hesitate to recommend them! More...

Our Cocker Spaniel loves going to stay with Chris & Colin. They always treat him to plenty of walks and cuddles and make him feel so comfortable in their home. They try and make his stay at theirs as familiar to his normal routine, with regards to meals, treats and sleep. They’re always understanding if we get held up by work, traffic etc and have a great process for overnight stays. We never have any hesitation to book him in with them and have recommended them to our friends. More...

We recently entrusted our young Maltese pup to Chris and Colin's care while we were on holiday, and the experience left us not only impressed but genuinely delighted. The level of care and attention they provided for our furry baby exceeded our highest expectations.

From the moment we dropped off our Jimmy, we knew our pup was in capable hands. Chris and Colin exuded warmth and a genuine love for dogs, instantly putting both us and our pup at ease. Their thoughtful approach to pet care was immediately evident.

Caring and Loving: Chris and Colin treated Jimmy as if she were their own. It was clear that they genuinely cared for her well-being and happiness. We received regular updates and photos, which put our minds at ease and allowed us to enjoy our holiday without worry.

Thoughtful Dog Care: They were incredibly attentive to our pup's needs. Whether it was exercise requirements or just giving him the love and attention, he wanted, they went above and beyond to ensure our dog was comfortable and content.

Safe and Secure Environment: Our pup had a safe and clean environment to play and rest in. Their home is lovely; clean, dog-friendly and secure, providing a worry-free space to enjoy himself.

Communication: Chris and Colin were excellent communicators. They were responsive to our messages and questions, and they proactively updated us on our pup's well-being throughout our holiday. Knowing that our dog was happy and healthy was a huge relief.

Flexible and Accommodating: They were also accommodating and understanding of our scheduling needs, especially when our return flight was delayed and meant that our pup was picked up later that evening.

In summary, Chris and Colin's pet-sitting service exceeded our expectations in every way. We returned from our holiday to a happy pup, and we couldn't be more grateful. We highly recommend their services to anyone seeking exceptional care for their furry babies. It's clear that they have a deep love for animals and a genuine commitment to ensuring their well-being. We wouldn't hesitate to entrust our pup to their care again in the future. Thank you, Chris and Colin, for your outstanding care and for allowing us to enjoy our holiday with complete peace of mind.

Chris and Colin are absolutely amazing with our still slightly nervous cocker spaniel. They make him their number one when he stays with them and we are always reassured all is well by many updates and pictures of him having a great time. Chris goes above and beyond to make sure all our dogs need are met. Highly recommended!!

Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend. Jaspar loved his time with Chris and family. I really wanted someone who had lots of experience as Jaspar can be unpredictable in the evenings. An initial meet up was great to be able to talk everything through. I also really appreciated Chris’s feedback after Jaspar’s stay. Thankyou! More...

We were recommended to Chris and Colin & were so impressed. They looked after Ted (our 10 month old pup) so well and like he was their own, listening to all his needs, brushing him etc. Lovely couple who take their work very seriously and who are excellent at it too. Would highly recommend. Thank you Chris and Colin x More...

We left our little boy with Chris over the weekend to fly out to Spain. Chris checked in with us everyday and sent us pictures and updates. Can thoroughly recommend and will certainly use her again in future. More...

Chris and Colin looked after our cockerpoo Betty for 3 days while we attended a wedding in Feb 2023. I was very nervous about leaving her, but when I met Chris and Colin I knew instantly she was in safe hands. They were amazing with Betty very attentive and took her out on lots of walks which she loves. It was great also to have regular photos sent to me of what Betty was getting up to everyday. Would definitely recommend them and will be booking them again x More...

Chris is a natural with the dogs, she takes extra care to groom them and play and they always come back happy and exercised. I would highly recommend her services. More...

It has been great working Chris. She is so good with our active Pooch, Levi! He is a cross breed rescue and has taken to Chris like fire to a flame.
Levi has no problem getting out of the car and running towards Chris and her family when he sleeps over, obviously feeling right at home.
I would highly recommend Chris. We have been using her services ever since we met. We and trust her to take care Levi.

Chris and Colin take our mini poodle for a walk once a week. It's a major highlight of the week for him. He loves hanging out with them, which puts us at ease. Chris always shares pictures of him and a short report on how he's doing, which I always appreciate! More...

Barney boarded with Chris for 6 nights. He had a trial night the week before which was invaluable. I was able to leave him feeling 100 percent happy that he would be super well looked after.
He had a little problem when I dropped him and needed salt water bathing which Chris undertook.
Barney had lots of walks and looked super healthy when I collected him.
I would not hesitate to recommend Chris. She obviously loves dogs and understands their needs as well as the needs of the owner.

After booking my 11 year old spaniel Cleo with Chris for a day to see how they got on with each other, I left her for a week while I went away. Chris was efficient with all the essential stuff such as giving me a list of things she would like me to bring, ensuring dates were confirmed, etc. but also she was clearly a natural with dogs and I knew Cleo would get lots of TLC plus all her complicated meds would be handled professionally. Chris kept in touch while I was away with bulletins and photos and Cleo was clearly a happy dog when I picked her up. I would definitely use Chris again and recommend her with confidence. More...

Chris and her husband Colin are wonderful people who take such good care of our cockapoo when we go on holiday. He is always so excited to see them when we drop him off which fills us with ease, and we see how much of a nice time he's having in the photos they share. He's also never enjoyed so many walks, which is fab! Would highly recommend :) More...

Amazing experience!

Our doodle, Dede, just had the time of her life staying with Chris and Colin for a two-week stretch! They are simply top notch carers . Thorough and professional when it came to getting all of Dede's medical information, routines, etc., accommodating and responsive when it came to scheduling, super sweet and attentive, and importantly, FUN pet people, Dede absolutely loved being a part of this warm family environment. We got daily updates, including brilliant photos and videos. Very trustworthy and considerate sitters who understand how special this kind of service is. Definitely going back and we whole-heartedly recommend them!! More...

Chris came recommended to me from a friend. Our cavapoo recently went to stay in her family home while we went on holiday. I felt very comfortable leaving her there for the first time as Chris had made sure that we met for a walk in advance and took note of all my dog’s needs and her temperament. It really was home from home, with Chris and her family.

During our holiday, my cavapoo had some medical needs and Chris liaised with my vet and me to make sure we were all happy with the treatment and kept me calm and informed while my dog was diagnosed and treated.

Chris and her family walked my dog frequently each day and socialized her with other dogs staying at the time. I highly recommend Chris as a both a dog sitter and walker and will be asking her to look after my dog next time that I go away.

Chris is the most professional, likeable and dog-aware dog minder I have ever had the pleasure to meet. She is punctual, super organised and was extremely sensitive to the needs of my slightly neurotic Jack-Russell terrier. I could not recommend her more highly. More...

Chris looked after our two Romanian rescue dogs for two weeks in August. Her care and attention to their needs was outstanding. Before the stay we were given a questionnaire to complete with regard to their needs which was extremely comprehensive and we met with Chris with the dogs to familiarise everyone. During the stay Chris sent photos and comments when we asked and on return gave us a full breakdown of the visit. The dogs were happy and groomed and Chris had clearly enjoyed having them.

I would not hesitate in recommending her and her family for dog holiday care.

Ziggy had a great time with Chris and her family for 2 weeks. We did not need to worry at all, as he was being lovingly looked after and welcomed into their family. He had lots of walks, fun and love whilst we were away . I would not hesitate to ask for Chris to look after Ziggy next time we go away. AMAZING! Thank you so much xxx More...

Chris and her family have been amazing with Chester. He’s treated as one of their own and given plenty of love, attention and walks. Chester was given the run of Chris’ home just as he would our own place. I could not be happier that we found Chris and feel very grateful that Chester has a second home away from home. Thank you.

Monty absolutely loves going to stay with Chris and Colin! He always has a great time and comes home happy and content. We never have to worry about anything as the care Chris and Colin provide is above and beyond any other dog care we’ve experienced - and monty would agree! They treat each dog as if their own and send lots of cute pics/videos so you can see what they’ve been up to each day :) More...

Monty was welcomed and cared for like a member of the family. Chris and her husband offer the highest level of service, responding quickly and ensuring all details are confirmed. Monty dashes in to their home without a backward glance; enjoys regular walks, in different locations and the company of other dogs. Chris and Colin limit the number of dogs they will care for so that each dog is safe and receives the attention needed. Each dog is an individual. We feel lucky to have found such an amazing 'second family' for Monty. More...

Owning a dog is a wonderful experience & such a privilege. The love is deep and reciprocal and the joy immense. But alas there are places that you cannot take this little family member & so you need to find a replacement loving home. Look no further, Chris & Colin offer a complete substitute. Our little Star was so happy with the Andrew’s, she had plenty of walks, plays and we got a daily update. I highly recommend Chris & Colin, they love animals & you will feel happy & content that your dog is in a great home. More...

Chris is absolutely fantastic with our two schnauzers. They love visiting and staying with her and her family because of the care and love she gives them. She is dedicated to making sure our schnauzers are happy and settled and is always our first choice to look after our family pets when we need help. More...

There is no one I would trust more to love and look after our dog. Chris and her family are such a wonderful support to us; they respect our dog and his needs, are accommodating, loving, trustworthy. Our dog adores them all and is always extremely excited to see everyone - which says it all! More...

Chris and family have helped look after our puppy Nala since she was 3 months old. They have not only done a fantastic job of looking after her, but were happy to administer medicine when needed and helped with training. Nala is always super excited to see them and the care they offer is like home from home. We would 100% recommend their services. More...

Chris is the most caring and reliable dog sitter. Both my toy poodles love going to her. They come back home having been pampered and well looked after, which gives us huge peace of mind when leaving our dogs with her.

8 April 2022

Chris, Anneli and family have done regular cat sitting for me for about four years now. They adore my cat Abbi, in fact every time I go away she seems to have the best cat spa experience; showered with love, cuddles, grooming and playtime (as well as the obligatory food, water and cat litter cleaning of course!). It’s a comfort knowing my house is well looked after when I’m away and that I come back to a very content and happy cat. They are the nicest, most trustworthy people and can’t recommend them enough.

We have looked after many different breeds and ages through the years to help families. We treat your pet with utmost care, love and kindness. We are an active family, enjoy walks, being outdoors and doing exactly what you want us to do so that your pet is happy the whole time in our hands/care.
