“Thomas and Helena were absolutely fantastic looking after my dog, Cookie, for 3 days and 2 nights. Before the stay, we met to discuss Cookie’s care routine and make sure everyone was a good fit, which immediately gave me confidence. They were incredibly attentive, thoughtful, and accommodating of all of Cookie’s little quirks, taking the time to understand her personality and needs. It was clear they genuinely cared about making her feel comfortable and settled. Throughout the stay, I was kept updated & I felt reassured knowing Cookie was in such capable and caring hands. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Thomas and Helena to anyone looking for reliable, kind, and conscientious sitters, and I’d happily book with them again & hope to soon. Thank you both for taking such great care of Cookie!”


About: I’m an experienced dog owner who truly understands the routines and care dogs need. What makes my service unique is the combination of exceptional outdoor space (Wanstead Flats is right on my doorstep for long walks and play), flexible working arrangements (if desired, I can take your dog to my office for company throughout the day), and a well-socialised, friendly dog who loves meeting new friends. Your dog won’t just be looked after - they’ll be genuinely engaged and enriched. Whether it’s exploring the extensive open spaces of the Flats, enjoying a calm day at the office, or having a canine companion for socialisation, I can provide a proper home-from-home experience. I’m happy to maintain any specific routines, dietary requirements, or training approaches you’ve established. I treat every dog in my care as I treat my own: with patience, attention, and plenty of affection. I work full time but have flexible arrangements. I typically work from home on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, and I’m able to take dogs to the office with me on other days if they’d enjoy the different environment and socialisation. This means your dog will have company and attention throughout the day, every day, rather than being left alone. I’m available for boarding on weekends and evenings. Your dog will be treated as part of my household. I have one friendly, well-socialised dog who’s excellent with other dogs and provides gentle companionship. My home is secure and I’m experienced in managing different dogs’ needs, whether that’s separate feeding times, crate training, or giving space to dogs who prefer their own company. I’ll always follow your instructions on walking routines, including whether your dog should be on or off lead.
“I’m very happy with Tuan’s service. I received regular updates, which gave me peace of mind, and they went above and beyond to ensure Nala was comfortable. I’ll definitely use their service again in the future!”

“From the moment we arrived at her home, Anke was incredibly friendly and welcoming—to us and to our dog. She made us feel comfortable right away, and it was clear that our dog felt the same. Every day, she sent us photos and videos, which reassured us that our furry girl was happy, safe, and well loved. She cared for her as if she were part of her own family. We truly recommend her. We are so grateful to have found someone so trustworthy and kind. Thanks to her, our holidays will be completely stress-free from now on, because we know our dog is in the perfect hands.t”

“I can’t thank Ronnie and their family enough for the amazing care they gave my dog, Ralph, while I was away. From the moment we connected, Ronnie was warm, communicative, and clearly passionate about dogs. It was such a relief to know Ralph would be staying in a loving home environment. Throughout the stay, I received daily updates and photos, which truly put my mind at ease. It was clear Ralph was comfortable, happy, and getting lots of attention. When I picked him up, he was relaxed, well cared for, and in great spirits. I’m so grateful to have found such a wonderful sitter on Rover, and I will absolutely be booking with Ronnie again in the future! Highly recommend!”

“I can't recommend Jeanett highly enough! She was absolutely amazing with my dog, Lucy. From the moment we met, I could tell she had a genuine love for animals and a professional approach to pet care. Every day, she provided me with detailed updates on how Lucy was doing, including pictures and videos, which really put my mind at ease while I was away. Lucy was happy, well-exercised, and clearly very well taken care of. If you're looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter, Jeanett is the best choice.”

“Kaeron was so nice to kindly accept our last minute booking. We were at peace during our baby boy's stay with her the whole time. She is updating and sending pictures from time to time. Definitely highly recommended!!! ✨”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats around me at all times, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. I now have my own Yorkshire Terrier, Luna. She’s the sweetest, friendliest little pup who I absolutely adore. Luna has brought so much joy into my life and has taught me how important it is to give plenty of love, attention, patience, and care. When your pet stays with me, they’ll be part of our cosy home! Never in a cage, with constant access to our fully fenced garden and always supervised. I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved and happy while you’re away, and give them the same care and attention I give to Luna. Want to get a little feel for our home and everyday routine? 🐾 Have a peek at Luna’s YouTube channel, “Luna The Yorkie Girl”, and see what life is like in our little family. I work from home, so my schedule is very flexible and your pet will have plenty of company, attention and cuddles throughout the day. I’m very used to having Luna with me wherever I go, so I’d love for your dog to feel like part of the family while they’re staying with me. I’ve been using Rover for over 3 years now, so I know first-hand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust and who will make sure your pet feels happy, safe and loved while you’re away. Because I have my Yorkie Luna at home, I only take dogs who are friendly and calm around other dogs and who don’t have a history of marking indoors.

Jimmy had my furbaby for a long weekend and he was great. His apartment is dog friendly and clean. I received updates and photos which I enjoy, and followed meal time instructions, he even administered medication. I could see my furbaby had a great weekend, just like me! I'd definitely use Jimmy's services again.

Andrea is amazing - Teddy is away from home.for the first time and can be anxious. He very soon settled in and made him himself very comfortable. Andrea was very attentive and responsive to him and sent us lots of messages and pictures, truly wss home away from home for him. I can not recommend her enough.

Jennifer is amazing. This is the second time I have used Jennifer, and she is as lovely and accommodating as the first time. I had regular updates and photos, she took my boy on trips to the park despite having a lovely garden and could see that she made him feel at home. Thank you, would definitely recommend and use in future,

Matilde looked after CoCo for the bank holiday weekend , Matilde was absolutely fantastic! Meeting beforehand really helped ease my anxiety, and she was professional, polite and incredibly reassuring throughout. She asked all the right questions about medication, feeding, and any specific needs, and kept me regularly updated during the stay. A lovely, safe environment where you can leave your dog completely stress-free. Highly recommend, will defo book again x ❤️🐶

Daniel and Brian were amazing! They took such good care of Sunny and he had the absolute best time with them (and little Ashford ❤️)! I was a little nervous at first about leaving him for five nights, but the daily updates, photos, and wonderful evening reports from them both really put my mind at ease and meant I could relax and enjoy my holiday even more.. Thank you so much Daniel and Brian for your care! You are the best!

I Literally can not thank these Ladies enough, My koba loved staying here for week, he settled so well and was looked after amazingly. Adonia kept me informed regularly about how he was doing. You could just tell how much he loved staying with these ladies. Thank you so much 😊

Leunta, is a wonderful kind and caring host who gave Mollie and Mabel a lot of love, care and attention for their weekend stay.. Leunta provided regular updates (pics and videos), made good friends with Leo and went out for walks in the park. I would defintiely use Leunta's services again. Thankyou

Holly was brilliant from the very beginning. She met our dogs in the park before booking, which gave them reassurance straight away and helped them feel comfortable. She was very easy‑going, patient, and answered every question we had. Her communication was excellent — always responding quickly and keeping us updated throughout the stay with daily photos, videos, and messages. She is incredibly reliable, and our dogs came home happy, confident, and clearly very well cared for. She even took extra care of our little one who unexpectedly came into season during her stay, which we really appreciated. Holly went above and beyond by helping us unload and load all the dogs’ belongings — such a thoughtful touch. Her dog Ruby must have been a lovely influence too; our two definitely enjoyed being around her. We would absolutely recommend Holly and will definitely be returning. Thank you again for everything, Holly — you were amazing.

Jeanett has been amazing with Ivy. She looked after her for over two weeks while we were on holiday and kept us updated throughout with lots of photos and videos. It was wonderful to see Ivy having so much fun, especially playing with Jeanett’s dog, Argos, they became great friends! Jeanett took Ivy everywhere she went, and it was clear that Ivy was treated like part of the family. We felt completely at ease knowing she was so well cared for and truly felt at home. We would highly recommend Jeanett to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy dog sitter, and we’ll definitely be leaving Ivy with her again very soon.
