“Niamh took such great care of our dog! He was out for plenty of walks and she kept us updated with photos and texts every day, honestly it really puts your mind at ease to know your dog is getting special care and love while you're away, we never had to worry about him and he was having a great holiday too! ?❤️ Deffo recommend Niamh to all dog parents out there ?”
“So grateful for the amazing care that Isla and Michael provided. Great to see from the updates and photos that Phoebe and Hunter seemed right at home with them both. Came back from holiday to 2 happy pups :)”
“Sid had a great time with Anabela, Daryl, and Matteo! It was so nice to see how great Matteo was playing with Sid, it had the added bonus of tiring Sid out with non stop play! Sid got out for plenty of walks and had lots of attention from all the family. The house was very neat and tidy when we arrived and they had a great yard out the back for play during the day. We would happily have Sid stay again, they were great with updates and Sid was a happy boy the whole time!”
“Brilliant, I had made a mistake with my booking and Emma was so understanding and really helped me out. She was extremely professional and great with Floyd - thank you so much Emma!”
About: Hi! We’re Andy and Caitlin — lifelong animal lovers and experienced pet owners who know that pets aren’t just pets, they’re family. Caitlin has an older cockapoo named Bobby, and Andy has grown up with large breeds, including a St. Bernard and a Bernese Mountain Dog/Collie mix, so we’re comfortable with dogs of all shapes and personalities. While we’d love to walk and spend time with big dogs, our home is best suited for small to medium-sized pups right now. We’re both extremely caring and affectionate — expect plenty of cuddles, playtime, and company for your furry friend. In our home, pets are welcome on the sofa, and yes, they’re more than welcome to curl up on the bed too! Your pet will be treated like one of our own, with lots of love and attention while you’re away. 🐾 We both work a hybrid week — three days in the office and two from home — which means there’s always someone around during weekdays, especially for drop-ins, walks, or day care. Weekends are completely free, and we love spending them outdoors running, taking long walks, or relaxing in dog-friendly spots (often with a pint of Guinness in hand!). We’re happy to fit pet care around our flexible routine and make sure your furry friend gets plenty of love, exercise, and attention throughout the week. 🐾 We live in a safe, peaceful area with plenty of nearby green spaces and dog parks — perfect for walks and playtime. As lifelong animal lovers, we’re both naturally caring, attentive, and careful people, especially when it comes to looking after pets. We understand how important it is to meet each dog’s individual needs — from exercise and feeding routines to cuddles and quiet time. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always our top priorities, and we’ll treat them with the same love and attention we give our own. ❤️🐶
“Our Labrador Belle had a fantastic stay with Simon. Simon was really Interested in learning about Belle before her stay. We felt so relaxed on holidays knowing she would be so well cared for. We had very regular updates. Belle is very energetic, needs a lot of exercise and can be strong on the lead and this was no problem for Simon. He really does treat your dog like they are his own. We would highly recommend!”
“Charlie had an absolutely amazing time, Grace looked after Charlie very well , sent lots of updates and pictures and took his sensitivities into account. Charlie will definitely come back to stay with Grace.”
“Paul had our dog for 1 week, Paul was absolutely amazing. Very professional & Kept us updated daily and send brilliant pics. Highly recommend! Thanks again Paul I will definitely be rebooking :):)”
“Five stars are not enough for Niall and Enrique!! Maisie had the most wonderful time and we got lovely pics and messages while she was there. Maisie keeps asking when she can go back 😂❤️”
“Luna had a great time with Samantha and was very well looked after. We loved receiving the regular updates. Would definitely recommend Samantha for dog-sitting duties.”
“Cooper thoroughly enjoyed his stay with Niall and Nelly he came home happy and content. Niall also sent me updates and pictures of cooper enjoying his time there. I would 💯 recommend 😊”
“I cannot rate Fiona & Dave highly enough! From first meet to our pet Savannah's first stay, I was made to feel at complete ease about leaving Savannah in both Fiona's & Dave's care. Upon arrival at their home, it was all about Savannah and welcoming her on her own terms which was a massive win win as she went off with Dave while I chatted with Fiona and she never gave me a second thought haha. I thought that was amazing as I thought she would fret after me as we've only had her as part of our family for about 3.5 months and she's still a wee pupper. But no, off she happily trotted to explore. Fiona and Dave kept me updated throughout Savannah's stay and this really helped me to relax and get on with enjoying our planned activities. Fiona and Dave really listened to Savannah's needs and care and took amazing care of her with feeding, exercising and time to chill. Absolutely lovely people who are really focused on caring for your pet's individual needs. I'm really happy with Savannah's first stay with Fiona and Dave. And I can honestly say that Savannah was happy and content when picked up and slept like a log when home - which was very much welcomed as we'd had a busy day prior. I will be hoping to book Savannah in with Fiona and Dave regularly so that she remains familiar with them both, with a view to longer stays for trips away when we can't take Savannah with us. Overall, 5* excellent service for your pet's stay and needs with the most lovely, friendly, pet focused people. Thank you Fiona & Dave! Lavinia & Savannah 🐾 🐾”
“Matthew and Darryl are amazing. We left Winnie for 4 nights, Matthew kept us updated and sent photos. Winnie had never stayed with anyone before, she can be very timid but she settled in very quickly. Matthew and Darryl are kind and caring and I would recommend them and will have them mind Winnie in the future.”
“Eleonora is a lovely person! She is very caring and loves dogs. Bowie was in good hands with Eleonora. She kept me updated daily with pictures and messages. I would absolutely use her services again and would recommend her to anyone.”
“Sarah took really good care of Eddie and was very understanding of his needs! She is very relaxed and professional and was a pleasure to deal with. Eddie is looking forward to staying with her again soon!”
“George had a brilliant time with Aidan. From the beginning, Aidan was warm and friendly. I know George is large and sometimes that might put people off, but not Aidan. He immediately saw what George is. A big warm cuddly bear. Everything ran smoothly and Aidan was easy to talk to. He asked all the relevant questions about George, making sure that he would be looked after. George came back nicely groomed and relaxed. I would gladly let George stay with Aidan again.”
“Callum and Anna took care of Teddy for 5 days while we went away. This was a big challenge for Teddy as a recently rehomed dog, as it was his first time away from home since rehomed. They were brilliant with Teddy, kept us up to date with frequent updates, and we went back to a happy dog. We are absolutely delighted.”

Nichola was fantastic with Buster our 13 year old Jack Russel, We were very nervous because he sometimes isn't very good around people but he took to her so well. We were able to enjoy our holiday because she sent us updates daily on how he was getting on and he enjoyed her company so much he was actually sad the first night we got him home. Would recommend Nichola 100 percent 👌 she has a gift with dogs and will deffo use her in the future .
First time I’ve ever left Rio since I’ve had him and can honestly Say Aidan was brilliant. Sent constant updates and photos and reassured me the whole time. Rio absolutely had a ball & he really caters for your dogs needs. Will deffo be booking Aidan again thank you so much.
Sarah thank you so much for looking after Rosie As an old dog with no experience of anyone other than family looking after her I had concerns about how she would manage. The photograph of her sleeping soundly in her bed immediately put me at ease, thankyou again We will be back .
We have being sending Riley to Sarah & Ciaran for a couple of years for short stays and he has loved being there. This time we left Riley for a week which we have never done before as he suffers from separation anxiety or maybe I do. Once again he was spoilt rotten the photographs and daily updates were great. Riley is a very pickier eater and Sarah & Ciaran took on the challlenge of encourage him to eat. He is a doodle with a double coat that mats, he was groomed perfectly. I cannot thank them of recommend them enough when it comes to caring for our dog. Riley was on his holidays too🐾❤️
Beau and Apollo loved staying with Anastacia and she took excellent care of them both. We received regular updates and pics of the dogs which we appreciated. We would definitely recommend Anastacia and would have no hesitation leaving the boys or our dog with her in future. Thanks Anastacia for taking such great care of Apollo and Beau😊
Can’t recommend Margot enough. Left our staffy for a week’s sitting in Margot’s home. We received regular updates while on holidays and our dog had a holiday as good as ours. We were so anxious leaving him but would do so again in a heartbeat. Our dog doesn’t deal well with other dogs and this was not an issue at all for Margot - a lot of other sitters will keep multiple dogs at once but Margot gave him one on one attention.
Riley just got back from staying with Edward and Winston. Edward kept me updated throughout with messages, pictures, and videos, which was really reassuring and nice to see. It was clear Riley was having a good time and felt very comfortable around both of them. Winston is very gentle and calm, and Riley seemed really relaxed around him. I’d definitely be happy for Riley to stay with them again next time I need someone to look after her.
We left Boo with Elaine and her family for a second time for 4 nights just now. Once again he was really well looked after and had a great time. We received regular messages & photos and felt reassured from the very start that he was in good hands. We will definitely take Boo to stay again when we need a dog sitter. Richard
I couldn't recommend Niamh enough! I left my two dogs with her, and she took such amazing care of them. As a first time Rover user, I was very anxious, but I felt completely at ease from the minute I dropped them off. You can really tell Niamh has a genuine love for dogs. Thank you so much for looking after my babies ❤️❤️❤️
Amazing experience! Lovely couple they took great care of my dog Bella while I was on holiday. She was happy, well looked after, and I got regular updates which really reassured me. I would definitely recommend them and will be using them again. Thank you so much!🐾
