“Poppy had the most wonderful time with Anna! Anna clearly loves dogs and Poppy took to her immediately when they met. Anna kept me updated with very cute pics and provided Poppy with all the love and attention she likes to have! I wouldn't hesitate to leave Poppy with Anna again - I know Poppy would adore it!”

“Took my young labrador for a little holiday. Not had him long myself. He did not have the best start in life. We went to Sam a week beforehand and discussed the issues with him. Sam took the time to train him in the 3 days she had him. I had regular daily updates and photos and more. Thoroughly recommend for a dog holiday. I had no worries with him there.”

“Eve was absolutely wonderful with Poppy and Poppy clearly adored their time together. Eve took the time to understand Poppy's needs and I am so grateful for that. Poppy would be delighted to spend more time with Eve and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her!”

“Shelley was the perfect the dog sitter for our Vizsla Bailey. She made us feel so comfortable by ensuring she got to know us before the sit by meeting for a few walks prior. Bailey had a wonderful time and made some lovely bonds with her family. During the sit Shelley shared photos everyday of Bailey which was lovely to see her having a great time. We would highly recommend Shelley and her family to sit for your pets!”


“Jess is absolutely amazing. We felt so secure leaving our girl Poncho in her care. So communicative, took great care of our home, and poncho clearly missed her when she finished the sit. Jess did so much for Poncho who clearly loved her. And we were so happy with her care we've asked her to walk poncho once a week as poncho has an absolute blast with Jess. We really really want to keep Jess to ourselves so the temptation to give less than 5 stars was there, but frankly, 5 isn't enough for how good Jess is. 10/10, Jess will be out first port of call always now. Thank you Jess!”


“Emma and her husband looked after my puppy for the night, they were both very understanding as unfortunately he became ill overnight after being at a dog show and eating something that didn’t agree with him. Very good communication and very understanding with a stressful situation.”

“Helen is such a lovely lady. She looked after my dog at short notice over Christmas and I would most definitely use her again and recommend her services. She was just so lovely with my dog. Sending updates and pics. Taking him for long walks and allowing him to be part of her family. Highly recommend - 5*****”

“Charlotte and Ben looked after our dog Mac and cat Freddie for a few days while we were away. We had arranged a meet up beforehand to see if their dog Toast would get along with Mac, and it seems they most certainly did! Communication was great and we received multiple updates throughout the days, as well as some really cute photos and videos. They listened to our needs and requests well and overall did a great job at looking after them! Would definitely come back to them in the future. Thank you 🥰”

“Georgia looked after Alfie on short notice for us. He was well loved and came home, after a sleep over, tired from all the fun he had. She replied quickly to my many check in messages. This is the first time we've used Rover and left our dog with someone we don't know, so it was very reassuring.”


“Obi stayed with Nicola overnight on quite short notice, and Nicola couldn’t have been more flexible or accommodating to our requests and timings. She and her family treated Obi like one of their own and were incredibly considerate of his needs, making sure he was safe in the sun and comfortable in their home. We received plenty of updates and photos of how he was getting on and we wouldn’t hesitate to leave Obi in Nicola’s care again!”

About: I grew up with dogs and have been a proud dog owner for the past three years. I also regularly care for friends’ and family members’ dogs during both short visits and longer stays, looking after dogs ranging from young puppies to older adults. As the owner of a senior dog myself, I understand the specific needs of dogs in their retirement years and take a calm, patient, and thoughtful approach to their care. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and love playing with them daily. I make sure they get the right amount of exercise and mental stimulation, using games, training prompts, and exploration to keep them active, happy, and healthy. For me, dog care is about building trust, routine, and lots of tail wags. I work remotely and am able to take dogs from 9am Friday through to 7pm Monday. As a dog owner regular walks and toilets breaks are built into my day and I’ve always go time for play and enrichment games. I live in a flat (3rd floor with lift - no balcony) with a calm relaxed older dog who loves company. Whilst I have no garden I have access to green space for toilet trips and sniffy walks. At weekends I like to visit a private secure dog walking field to give the dogs a good run around before heading home for some cuddles. I have a crate if required and for travelling (to a secure field) I have a boot guard or dog seatbelt as required.

“Esme was brilliant with our dog. She was very responsive to my initial enquiry. We received an update mid board showing a very contented Labrador which is always reassuring. If you are looking for someone to care for your pet then look no further than Esme.”

Leanne was amazing! So friendly and really flexible with changing of dates. My dog had the best time with her! Went on loads of walks and she spent all her time with him. I got so many photos and videos and he looked so happy in all of them! Totally recommend Leanne! Her whole family was amazing with my dog!

Margarita was absolutely amazing! It was our first time away from toast and she gave us regular updates and took great care of her and made sure she always had enough food, was brushed daily and had her tablets as needed. Very lovely lady and incredibly reliable. I would highly recommend and we will definitely be using Margarita in the future😊

Highly recommended! Indra is so lovely, took amazing care of my two doggies, so much so, I don’t think they wanted to come home. She was perfect in communicating and sending me lots of picture updates. I absolutely will be using her again as I felt my dogs were so safe and loved with her!

Charlotte was absolutely wonderful with Zoey! It was our first time leaving her, but the regular photo updates kept my mind completely at ease. Zoey looked so happy and relaxed in every shot, which tells me she felt right at home. I can’t recommend Charlotte enough for her communication and genuine care. We will definitely be booking again! 🐾

Anisha was amazing with our little Nani and took great care of her whilst we were away for a week. We received many photo updates of Nani happily playing with her dog Storm, and we are sure Nani was sad to see their time together come to an end. We would highly recommend Anisha as a fantastic and trustworthy dog sitter!

Emma and her husband looked after my puppy for the night, they were both very understanding as unfortunately he became ill overnight after being at a dog show and eating something that didn’t agree with him. Very good communication and very understanding with a stressful situation.

Thank you Albee and Lily for taking such good care of Baxter. Loved the updates I got whilst aboard so that I could focus on my holiday without worrying about him. Thank you for dropping him home last night and sorting him out before I got home - appreciate you both going above and beyond to make sure he was home safe and sound!!

I looked for a registered dog sitter to look after my dog whilst I was going to be in hospital. I was very lucky to have found Jack, while I was in hospital undergoing treatment for three weeks, and I honestly cannot recommend him highly enough. From start to finish, Jack was absolutely excellent. During a very difficult and worrying time, he provided complete peace of mind by taking such wonderful care of my dog. He was reliable, professional, and genuinely caring, treating my dog as if they were his own. He kept me regularly updated, which meant more than I can say while I was in hospital. Knowing my dog was safe, happy, and well cared for made an incredibly challenging period so much easier. Jack went above and beyond, and I am extremely grateful for everything he did. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and outstanding dog sitter.
