“Maya is as recommended through a friend of a friend, She helped us out at very short notice after my husband had a short spell in hospital. She walked our black lab ‘Brandy’ regularly over a period of two weeks. Maya was lovely and she has a great rapport with animals. I would fully recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable dog sitter/walker. Mrs Robson”

“Caitlin was great with Bruce! She was really lovely from the first message, she met with us first and got to know Bruce. She was super prepared, interested and Bruce loves her. Having a GSD means that a lot of people can be intimidated by her size, but Caitlin was absolutely great with her! we are very happy that she’s Bruce’s regular walker and her new friend”

About: I know how difficult it is to find somebody you trust to take care of your dog , so I will always make this as easy as possible for all involved. Dogs have been in my family my whole life, I lost my Douge De Bordeaux in 2023. My gran was a breeder , I spent my childhood summers with Whippets and Labs , at one point there was a Rottweiler , German Shepherd and a Lab in my immediate family. I love giant dogs ! I will always request a meet beforehand. Your 4 legged family member will be very much cared for! Completely trustworthy and I just love spending time with dogs. If they love a long beach walk then I’m the right person! Some of the dogs I look after in my pictures . I will only sit dogs who can be left for a couple of hours at least . Please note this does not mean I will be out all day and they will just be left !! I have tonnes of experience with the larger breeds and nervous dogs. I can also feed any other pets you may have at the same time. I won’t tolerate rude owners 😀 I will walk your pooch when is best for you and fit into their routine. If that’s early mornings or late nights, this is about them ! Always watching, will walk them on lead unless you tell me otherwise . I will let them play in the garden but will always be around.


12. Annelies P.
“Annelies is a friendly and caring person, she is very affectionate, kind, and amazing at looking after dogs and good at giving dogs attention and making the dog feel part of the family.”


13. Rachel Emily C.

“Rachel was fantastic! We enjoyed meeting Rachel before we went on holiday, which meant we could introduce our dog and take him on a walk together. Rachel really wanted to understand his routine and what works for him, which was very thorough of her. Great communication everyday when we were away, which meant we could enjoy our holiday knowing our dog was well looked after. 100% recommend Rachel! We will definitely be booking her again if we ever need to go away. Thank you so much, Rachel x”


14. Maisie G.
About: I have loved dogs since we got my childhood dog when I was 8. Since then I have been the go-to person for my friends, family and neighbours when it comes to all things dog related! From staying with dogs while their owners have been away, to short walks. I believe that I can understand and bond with all dogs and that there are no bad dogs. I have grown up with a typical Beagle so there is nothing I haven’t dealt with! I am currently working on a zero hour contract so have plenty of spare time that I would much prefer to be spending with dogs! I am available to board for most periods of time, as well as any length walks and drop ins! I am as flexible as they come. I understand that it may be stressful to leave your dog in the hands of someone else so I will always ensure that I take what the owner says very seriously and will implement whatever it is that you wish.


15. Chloe S.
“Chloe is fantastic with my dog she is friendly, caring, compassionate and responsible. She is very patient with my dog who is quite nervous around other dogs, would definitely recommend !”


16. Melissa K.
“Melissa has always been great looking after my two Labradors Charlie and James! She has helped me out for years now so I can always rely on her. She provides great care and would recommend to anyone in need of dog sitting”


17. Katy K.

“Katy gave Oisìn another fun walk and was incredibly patient with me as I struggled with the Rover website. I trust her with my furry babies and that's my highest compliment. I would highly recommend others to use her services. 5 star!”


18. Teigan H.
“Teigan is the perfect person to look after your pet, she is reliable, caring, loving and would always ensure that your pet is treated the best. When she is with my dog my dog doesn’t leave her side, she always takes time to give her a cuddle. Teigan has an experience with her own dog as well which i would say is one of the happiest pets i’ve seen. If you left your pet in the hands of teigan they would have the time of their life, long walks, play session and even cuddle and sleep session. Anything your pet needs teigan will do it.”


19. Bethany W.
“I highly recommend Bethany. As she is reliable, trustworthy, capable and most importantly adores dogs. You will definitely feel your dog is being left in safe hands.”


20. Stephen D.
About: I’ve had dogs in my life for a long while, always being relied on by family/friends to walk or stay with their pet. I love dogs, but haven’t had the chance to have my own yet. I love dogs of all sizes and can provide long walks if necessary! I own my own business and work from home so I am very flexible for walks or overnight stays. Me and my fiancé love walks and dog-sitting when our friends go away on their holidays. We have no pets currently, my cat Ron lives with my Mum to keep her company. I live next to a park, so plenty of outdoor space for the dog to explore. I do live in a flat, so overnight stays will need to be at the home of the pet.
