Family with 1 dog living in Surrey, England. We have a detached 3 bedroom house with easy access to London by train and easy access to the Surrey countryside. We live in a village and are nearby the towns of Redhill & Reigate for shopping and restaurants.
We have one 5 year old cockapoo named Jake.
**Our next dog sit is available 22-26 May - so a short stay but with a day stay on either side is possible. Thanks.**

Our experience at Malena’s home has been one of our favorite ones, so good to be true!! The family has a lovely vibe, so easy going, calm and joyful. Malena received us with a delicious Mexican dinner 😋 and were flexible since we had to work online.
The family provided us with food during our stay, which we appreciated a lot, and recommended us… read more nice places to visit around the town, Merstham is so beautiful and really good located, you can walk from the train station 10-15 min, there are restaurants, supermarkets, etc.
We spend a nice week looking after Jake and Kanga while the family was away. Both lovely dogs who enjoyed walks but over all being with you at all moment and give you all their affection 💗 Jake was so funny just doing his Cokapoo things 😂 we’re missing them!
Thanks a lot for the experience!! We wish you the best

Staying at Malena and Graham’s home was a truly rewarding experience. The house is very cozy and located in a quiet neighborhood where I felt at home from the very first day. They were always kind and attentive, replying quickly to any questions and making sure I had everything I needed.
As for Jake and Kanga — honestly, I couldn’t have asked for… read more better company! They’re both such friendly, calm dogs and always excited for a good walk. I already miss their energy and affection.
Thank you so much for trusting me to take care of Jake and Kanga and for giving me such a special experience. A big hug to you both and a special cuddle for Jake and Kanga.

Bruno looked after our two dogs while we were away on holiday, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. He cared for them with such attention and kindness, and even administered medication to one of them several times a day with complete reliability.
Both dogs took an instant liking to Bruno, and it was clear they felt comfortable and… read more happy in his presence. Having him stay in our home gave us great peace of mind, knowing they were in their familiar environment and in such capable hands.
Bruno kept in touch regularly, sending us updates and photos, which was incredibly reassuring. He left the house in great condition—and even baked us a delicious Brazilian cake as a welcome-home treat!
We would have Bruno back anytime—and so would our dogs!
