Full Property Description:
I started Sit and Stay because I’ve always had a genuine love for animals and I hated the idea of them feeling stressed, lonely, or out of place while their humans are away. To me, pets aren’t “just pets” — they’re family, and they deserve to feel safe, loved, and completely at ease, even when you’re not home.
That’s why I do things a little differently. I care for pets in their own home, where everything is familiar — their bed, their smells, their routine. It makes such a difference to their happiness and comfort. I take the time to really get to know each pet, their personality, their habits, and all their little quirks, so they get care that feels natural, not forced.
Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles on the sofa, or just keeping them company, I treat every animal like they’re my own. Sit and Stay isn’t just about pet sitting — it’s about making sure your pets feel safe, relaxed, and genuinely loved, so you can go away knowing they’re in the best hands.

Meet The Owners
Sit and Stay supports XL Bullies and reactive dogs because we believe every dog deserves love, patience, understanding, and the chance to feel safe and cared for. So many of these dogs are misunderstood, when really they just need the right environment, trust, and someone willing to take the time to understand them.
I don’t believe a dog should be judged by its breed or by labels like “reactive”. I believe in seeing the individual dog behind it all — their personality, their needs, and the love they have to give. At Sit and Stay, every dog is treated with kindness, respect, and genuine care, because we truly do love them all.

XL Escapes Peace Of Mind Promise
Every business you see on XL Escapes has confirmed to us that they welcome XL Bullies.
Before being listed, we ask the questions we'd want answered ourselves — from real experience living and travelling with XL and reactive dogs. That includes confirming they are happy to host XL Bullies, that their listing details are accurate, and that they've considered their own legal and insurance responsibilities.
We don't assume. We don't guess. We ask — and they confirm.
If anything changes or a business doesn't stand by what they've told us, we take it seriously.
If a business listed on XL Escapes turns you away because of your dog's breed, contact us. We will review it, remove them if necessary, and refund your membership.
