“We defo recommend Kellie! It was so hard to leave our puppy Kenobi with someone who we could trust, but as soon as we met Kellie we knew she was perfect as you could tell she just loves dogs! From the start she has been so friendly, helpful and loving towards Kenobi. When she’s with Kenobi she sends us updates and pictures which is so amazing as it puts your mind at rest as you can see they are having so much fun! She also has great advice for any issue we have with him, which is a added bonus! If you are worried about leaving your furbaby, Kellie is the person to go to for sure! :)”


“Tania has been the most amazing cat sitter over the last couple of weeks. Words can't explain how grateful I am for her care and attention towards Mango. We arranged a meet and greet and everything clicked right away. Tania has been incredibly friendly and reliable. She has been accommodating to all of my requests, even those that were made at short notice. I highly recommend Tania and look forward to working with her again soon.”


“Utterly fantastic from beginning to end. I can’t recommend Paula highly enough. Paula kept us updated throughout our holiday with lovely pictures. This was such a comfort as it was the first time we had left our kittens. We will certainly be using Paula again. Stop scrolling and book her now!”


“Rebecca is a pro! She was warm, caring and had an immediate connection with my two fur babies (& me). I felt at ease leaving them with her for the week I was away. She updated me daily and sent photos which was wonderful. Rebecca is not only a fantastic animal carer, but an empathetic and emotionally intelligent human, I wouldn't want to leave my fur babies with anyone else! She's an asset to Rover. Thank you and look forward to seeing you soon ? ?⬛️ ?⬛️ ?”


About: I have regularly helped pet/house sit dogs/cats for family/friends & would love the company of your babies too. I have a calm presence animals seem to like. Your dog is welcome to come and stay with myself and my partner, Nick as well as our lovely dog friendly dog Ada. Please note Ada's happiness is also on our minds and we are finding where she likes to relax a lot and isn't very playful with other dogs, she would prefer dogs with high energy and wanting to play all the time not to board with us. She does love most dogs but also just likes to lay about most of the time when energetic dogs do not (lol). I work from home permanently so there is always someone available. Nick takes Ada for an early morning walk before he goes to work and your dog can come to. Then we have evening walkies each eve over the fields opposite our house. Weekends we like to visit dog friendly venues or sometimes book an enclosed field/wood for safe off lead fun. Ada loves to play and interact with other dogs and is quite calming for nervous dogs who are unsure when they first arrive. I am fully insured for boarding, sitting and transportation. I have a certificate in dog first aid, safety and basic grooming. I would always keep a close eye on your animal whilst they are in my care. Being a nurse I'm very observant, vigilant and trusting. I'll carefully follow any instructions you leave me re diet etc. Ada has to be chicken free so I understand the importance of allergies. A DBS certificate is available on request. If I needed to leave your dog at home (quite rare), I use a camera in the kitchen to keep monitoring for any significant agitation and leave the radio on the drown out some outside sounds.

“My family would like to thank Heather for an amazing service and for taking such good care of our very new kitten whilst we were away for a few days. She kindly arranged a meet and greet before our travel and met our kitten Bella. She sent is regular updates and photos of Bella, which greatly reassured us that she was being offered the best possible care, particularly as she had only joined out family one week prior. We can’t thank Heather enough for her dedication and commitment to provide a 5 star service.”


About: I treat every pet like they’re my own. Whether it’s keeping up with a puppy’s energy, giving extra patience and care to senior pets, or just sticking to the routines they love, I make sure they feel safe and happy while you’re away. I’m happy to help with things like giving medication, extra walks, or last minute schedule changes. You’ll get regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. I have plenty of time to give pets the attention they deserve. On weekends I’m free for walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays, and during the week I’m available in the late afternoons and evenings. Whether it’s an evening walk or weekend company, I can fit around your pet’s routine so they feel happy and cared for. When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping their routine consistent so they feel safe and relaxed. Whether I’m house sitting, doing drop-in visits, or walking dogs, I follow any instructions you provide and treat your home with respect and care. On walks, I make sure your dog gets good exercise and stays safe at all times.

About: I grew up with dogs, and have a sweet, energetic and friendly young dog now. We regularly have play dates and every day we have long off lead walks on the fields or in the forest. We also have three big parks just a few minutes away, so we go out to play with other doggies and chase balls. I offer 2 long over an hour walks a day, plus a tonnes of playtime at home, so perfect for energetic doggies. If your pooch however needs less exercise, no problem, just let me know. I work from home Monday to Friday. Our walks: Mornings: we go for a walk for about 60 minutes before work. Off lead on the fields and forest to burn off energy. Lunch time: 20 minutes run and play in the park. (Weather and work dependent) Evening: another longer, about 60 minutes or longer walk or play in the park. During winter months when it gets dark fast, we go on a road walk on lead. If your dog need less exercise, we can skip one or two of the walks. I’m flexible. During the day, while I’m working, your dog can chill in the daybed next to me, or play with my dog. In the evening after walk and dinner we chill together in the living room. Having a young dog myself, I know how precious they are, and well aware not to leave anything harmful within reach. Safety is #1. Your dog will feel home away from home. I’ve looked after a few guest doggies already, and they all were very happy and loved being with us. They all became returning customers. I also send you daily updates, pictures and videos for your piece of mind.

About: Reliable pet sitter for family and friends for over 5 years, in both Hong Kong and UK. Clean and tidy. Like to spoil fur babies sometimes but their well-being always comes first! I do not work thus my schedule is very flexible. Can be on board any time of the day, 7 days a week, or even short notice. Feel free to talk to work things out. I take care of pets in pet owner’s home. I feed them, clean their toilet and play (if they are sociable). I also like to take photos of pets and recording their lovely and cute moments. They are the best model. Xx

About: I have always grown up around animals. My dad owns a farm and I have had a variety of animals as pets including dogs, cats and reptiles.

I can do mornings, afternoons or evenings Tuesday-Thursday and Sunday I have a fenced off garden surrounded by trees and bushes. We keep the back door open so that our cats can come in and out as they please and always check on them throughout the day

About: I’ve been dog sitting for a few years now and had dogs all my life. Having grown up around Dobermans & Dalmatian’s, from a young age I’ve always been completely obsessed with dogs (any size!) as I’ve grown older my love for them has only grown. I had some great experience in 2024 volunteering at a dog rescue in Malaysia. For over a month my partner and I helped to care for abused, injured and neglected dogs. I learnt to administer vaccinations, how to perform hydrotherapy on injured dogs, and to help abused and anxious dogs regain trust. It was the highlight of our Asia trip! Please feel free to drop me a message, always up for a meet and great 😊 I have a flexible job which means I have plenty of time to give your pets the walks, love, and attention they need! Got experience walking dogs so can handle big or small dogs 😊 With my background and passion for dogs, I’m dedicated to making sure they feel safe and loved. I have grown up with dogs so know how to care and keep them all happy 😃 You’ll have plenty of Pupdates as well!

Anna is like the dog whisperer - she can read a dogs behaviour in seconds and her home is set up to separate dogs that don’t get on. Anna tailors Dexter stay to suit his funny little ways and she knows when he’s trying to get up to no good. I have never had any hesitation about leaving Dex with Anna, I have confidence that he is safe and happy for the day or overnight. Anna is really calm, easy going and positive about high rubs off the dogs she cares for.”
