Your pup's perfect staycation starts here!
Mum, Dad, quick word...
I don’t need much to be happy. Just grub that keeps me fit and full of bounce, belly rubs on demand, and someone who actually speaks dog when you’re away. The kind of care that makes me feel safe and loved—even when you’re off doing your human stuff.
No kennels. No stress. Just the right mix of fun, fuss, and friendly guidance—especially for the big, bouncy types who need a bit more than a bowl of grub and a pat on the head. Travel knowing your dog’s living their best life while you enjoy yours.
Serving expat dog owners across Belgium and Holland—because the five-star fuss shouldn’t stop at the UK border.
What's included
For dogs who love their routine, smells, and sofa. I move in and keep everything running smoothly, just the way they like it.
-
Walks, play(dates), and cuddles
-
Feeding and meds (no sneaky treat stashes go unnoticed)
-
Grooming and basic home care (yes, I’ll wipe muddy paws and mop up the odd mess)
-
Watering plants and collecting post
-
Keeping your home safe and lived-in while you’re away
-
Updates and photos, so you never have to wonder how it’s going
-
Vet trips if needed—because life happens
-
Cats welcome too (horses and small farm animals? Ask me!)
-
Specialist in big, bouncy pups—but happy to pamper the odd small rascal too
How it works
Eight easy steps to a pawsome sit for you, your pup(s) and your home.
-
Get in touch
Pop me a message with your dates, location, and a bit about your dog (bonus points for funny quirks).
-
Let’s chat
We’ll schedule a FaceTime call to see if we’re a good fit. If I’m nearby, I’m happy to swing by for a sniff-and-greet.
-
Prep like a pro
Once you’re booked in, I’ll send you a simple briefing doc to get everything ready—no chaos, just smooth sailing (and wagging).
-
Arrival & handover
I’ll arrive before you leave so we can go over the essentials together—meals, meds, favourite walks, sofa spots, and “do not touch” zones.
-
Care as promised
Your dog gets my full attention—no double bookings, no juggling. Just proper care, adventure, and the right mix of belly rubs and boundaries.
-
Updates you’ll love
Expect regular updates and photos (usually featuring your dog looking smug on the sofa). You relax, I’ll handle the rest.
-
The debrief
When you’re back, we’ll have a quick catch-up to go over how everything went—then I’ll slip out quietly and let you get back to normal.
-
Back to routine
You’re home. Your pup’s happy. Your house is as you left it (plus maybe a few extra nose prints on the window). All sorted.
Why me?
Because your dog’s top priority is feeling safe—and nothing says safe like their own home, favourite sofa spot included. Meanwhile, you get to actually enjoy your trip, knowing your dog’s happy, loved, and in experienced hands.
Got a big, bouncy ball of fur? Even better. I specialise in lively dogs who need more than a quick feed and a pat on the head. With a lot of experience working with a range of breeds and personalities, I know exactly how to keep even the most spirited pups calm, entertained, and well cared for—while you’re off exploring the world (or just popping back to the UK).
I can't wait to meet your tribe!

"Hester did the most fantastic job with our two dogs. They were so well cared for with regular updates which put our mind at ease. She left our home spotless! We can't recommend Hester enough and will absolutely book her again!"

"Hester was amazing. She sent us regular updates while we were away. The house was really tidy when we returned and Lola and Missy were so happy and calm. We felt at ease knowing that Hester was taking care of them. We're already booking her for a next holiday!"
Lucy & Dimitri
"I have two labs. The young one, Sandy, is lovely but needs a lot of exercise or she gets up to all kinds of mischief. Hester did a great job keeping her happy while observing the needs of her older sibling, Marley, who likes to take things a bit slower. I also appreciated Hester staying on top of Sandy's allergy and the updates and pictures while I was away."
Chris H
"Hester was wonderful and very flexible, taking over the last few days of our holiday from another sitter. Digby clearly loved her. At only 11 months old he's bouncy and cheeky but we found him calm and relaxed when we returned. Also, our house was wonderfully clean and tidy. We wouldn't hesitate to ask Hester back again!"
Freya K
"We couldn't bear to put Ralph into a kennel when we went on holiday and are so glad that we met Hester. She was so thorough with her advance visit, checklist and experience. It meant we could enjoy our holiday without worrying about our beloved dog. She took such good care of him that he really didn't want her to go. Thank you Hester for being such a good companion to our dog. We will definitely be giving you a call again!"
