Testimonials

“

“Jackie was absolutely amazing, the daily updates, videos and photos, gave us total peace of mind, and on our return we found our gorgeous dog, Cai, totally shattered from a wonderful weeks holiday cared for by Jackie. Plus as a bonus a well kept house and even homemade food in the fridge. Jackie you are amazing, thank you.”

“Thank you so much for taking great care of our pack and our house while we were away. Jackie went above and beyond to make sure our 3 dogs, cat and rabbit were well cared for, ensuring that we could relax and enjoy our holiday without having to worry about them. We requested regular updates and got daily pictures of our dogs having great fun on their walks and cuddles in the house. On our return we had a happy brood, a spotless house, milk and bread and a beautiful stew which was very much appreciated after a long journey with 2 young children. We would highly recommend Jackie, a lovely person and very dependable and trustworthy.”
