About: My family dogs now live with my parents in Scotland, so I miss having a dogs around even though I’m still their regular sitter.

I work from home 3days a week and also love to provide holiday or weekend/evening cover to give a dog comfort and a familiar environment when their owners aren’t around. We can provide 1-3 walks a day as needed. On the weekends, we usually drive our Rover dogs out to big country parks for walks if they’re up for it! We love to have our dogs cuddle on the sofa if you are happy for us to. We also have experience with crate training if needed and can block off upstairs if stairs are bad for your little one. We live on a quiet and safe cul de sac but always walk on lead.

About: Hi, my name is Daniel, I’m 27 years old and I live in a warm, family friendly environment that’s perfect for looking after pets as if they were part of the family. I’ve always had a deep passion for animals, especially large dogs. I’ve had two big furry companions who I dedicated lots of time, care and love to. Through them, I learned how important it is to understand their needs, give them regular exercise, affection and a routine that helps them feel safe and happy. Together with my girlfriend, who also loves animals, we’ve looked after several dogs, which has given me experience with all kinds of personalities. I’m a very caring, responsible and detail oriented person. I always make sure each dog feels comfortable, supported and truly at home. I really enjoy spending time outdoors with them, going on walks, playing, and building a genuine bond.

Jessica D.
“Review for Jessica – Dog Boarding (Bailey) We recently boarded our dog Bailey with Jessica, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the moment we dropped Bailey off, it was clear that Jessica genuinely cares about the dogs in her care. She was warm, attentive, and kept us updated with regular messages and photos, which really put our minds at ease. Bailey settled in quickly and clearly felt comfortable and safe in Jessica’s home. He came back happy, well-exercised, and clearly well-loved. We’re so grateful for the peace of mind Jessica provided and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for reliable and caring dog boarding. Thank you, Jessica – Bailey can’t wait to come back!”

Nidha I.
“I have a very shy Himalayan cat called Charlie, who isn’t the most welcoming to strangers however I needed a sitter as I had to visit family up North. When I messaged Nidha, she was so thorough with making sure she knew everything to be able to take care of Charlie and when she first came over she was so lovely! She was aware of Charlie being very timid so I stayed a little just to make sure with this being my first time and she was so patient with him! I felt comfortable leaving Charlie with Nidha as I knew she wasn’t going to be pushy with him, like I first feared using Rover. Just want to say thank you for being so patient!”
