VWe had an excellent experience with Carolyn and felt completely at ease leaving our pet at her home. She was warm, friendly, flexible, and genuinely caring throughout the entire stay. It was clear from the beginning that she truly loves and understands dogs.
She took Poppy on two walks, kept us updated, and made sure our dog felt comfortable and well cared for in a new environment. The biggest reassurance for us was picking up a relaxed, happy, and settled dog who behaved completely normal afterward. It was a clear sign of how safe and comfortable she felt staying with her.
We really appreciated the care, attention, and kindness she showed our dog and would absolutely recommend Carolyn to anyone looking for a trustworthy and reliable dog sitter. We’d be very happy to book with her again in the future.

SNia took wonderful care of my dog while I was away. She was attentive, reliable, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. My dog was happy, well looked after, and settled throughout the stay, which gave me great peace of mind.
Nia kept me updated regularly and went above and beyond to ensure my dog was comfortable and cared for. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter, and I would happily leave my dog in her care again.
Thank you, Nia!
