“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! :)”
“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 ? ?⬛️ ?⬛️ ?”
“Thank you Heather, Flora was well taken care of, it was lovely to see photos of her while we were away. I would highly recommend Heather and would definitely book with Heather again.”
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. 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. Ada loves to play and interact with other dogs and is quite calming for nervous dogs who are unsure when they first arrive. 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.
“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!”
“Bethany was highly reliable and kept us informed daily whilst we were away with pictures and updates. Both of our cats accepted her quickly. I will be booking her again!!”
“Would definitely recommend Erin. Great communication before and during the visits with my cat, with messages, photos and videos. Have already booked her again!”
“Sarah is excellent with Albert and he is always so excited to see her. I always know I can trust her with him and that definitely puts me at ease”
About: Hi, My name is Laura. I'm an animal lover and I've always had pets ever since I was little. I've had rescued dogs, birds, turtles, hamsters, rabbits and I currently have 2 cats, 2 guinea pigs, a puppy and tropical fish. I provide home visits and I will make sure your pet is my number 1 priority and will treat them like I treat my own. I'm able to feed them, brush them, play with them and send you daily pictures and updates for your peace of mind. I can also water your plants if needed. I also provide a home boarding for small animals such as guinea pigs, rabbits, hamsters, etc. Lastly, I offer dog walking in Brantree. I live near a big park (Blackwater) so it's ideal for walks or I can walk around your area too. I have worked in an animal rescue in Spain, walking, feeding dogs and cleaning their enclosures and I have also fostered cats and dogs. I've also looked after my friends' pets while they are away, so I have lots of experience. I'm a full time mum of a 7 and a nearly 2 year old who adore animals. I'm at home most of the time. Please let me know if you have any questions. I look forward to hearing from you, Laura I am a full time mum so I have plenty of time to look after your furry friend. When I do home visits I can feed other animals too and watter your plants, bring in your mail, etc. I live in a spacious 4 bedroom house with a very big fenced and secure garden. I live close to a very nice and big park so it's ideal for doggy walks.
“Suzy was very helpful and great with the cats. Cats loved her and we got plenty of updates and photos whilst we were away which helped calm any nerves. Would use again!”
“Fantastic service from Haleigh as usual - such a reliable person who takes very good care of our pets. Looking forward to booking her again!”
About: I have taken care and had dogs since primary school! From a range of German shepherd's to smaller breeds like dachshunds. Owning up to three dogs and one time for years. Assisting with training, walking and loving them since a child. Even now, I have moved out, I still make the time to walk our dogs. I walk fall time, Monday - Friday 8:30-5. I can walk dogs after work (with notice) but I can also dogs sit on weekends and walk dogs on weekends and any time I currently have three cats, who are all very much spoilt! They get fed twice a day, including treats. They're allowed out and about but are trained to stay close to the house and garden. They get plenty of cuddles during the day and night! Our dogs who live at my parents, get lots of walks and cuddles from myself whenever I go and visit.
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 love animals and will take the best care of your loved one I currently work part time but have plenty of time throughout the week to walk and look after your pets. 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 obsessed with all Animals since I was a baby, we had two large dogs (A Bullmastiff and A Rottweiler who I was besotted with and whom never left my side. Since growing up Iv'e never not had a dog in the family. I've also had Cats, Hamsters and Guinea Pigs!. I've trained all the dogs iv'e had and understand how important consistency is to an Animal in training, so rest assured I will continue their learning journey. I am self employed and have two businesses which are very flexible. I am a Massage Therapist and I also trade at markets with my craft gifts ☺️ In the owners home I will follow instructions set by them. I am super clean and enjoy organising and doing extra tasks set out for me so don't be shy in asking ☺️
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.
“Michael was very thorough with the dogs. he spent a lot of time with them and was confident when looking after them. They are large dogs and Michael was able to do a little bit of training with them as well-would highly recommend him as a dog sitter.”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs all my life, from large family dogs like Alsatians and Rottweilers, to miniature Dachshund’s, from puppies to senior dogs. I have spent time volunteering in kennels and have spent time helping to provide care to strays (as in my profile picture), administering medication, pack walks etc. So, I understand that each dog has its own personality, history and temperament, and that some dogs may require a different approach and patience as a result. The honest truth is that I genuinely love dogs, and could not think of a more rewarding way to spend my time than to get to know them, earn their and your trust, and to show you that your pet is in safe and caring hands. Personally I grew up with a female Rottweiler named Sky, an Alsatian named Max, another named Jasco, and another Rottweiler named Reggie. I have and still do look after the dogs of family and friends. I currently work from home so weekday stays/drop-ins can be arranged. I work full time Monday to Friday from home with occasional in-office work once a month however I am flexible with that date, week day stays/visits are do-able as is weekend work. Please get in touch regardless of the notice period as I may be able to assist. Daily walks, feeds, playtime/stimulation with my dog and your pets. Happy to adapt to different circumstances and requirements and I’m very perceptive of dog behaviour and welfare.

Ellen F.
“Ive know Ellie for many years, and my Buddy has know her all his life, he is 13 this year. My Buddy absolutely adores his Ellie visits even more so when she sleeps-over and i go away. I now also have Bobbie (13) and Dottie (5) as well as the odd Croatian rescue foster dog waiting for adoption, thats if I've not adopted it myself. Hahaha Ellie and her partner Nick happily House and Dog sit for me regularly, even over Christmas when we've celebrated in Jersey at my sisters. They are so loving and wonderful for my 3 bubbas, they get beach walks, trips to a dog friendly restaurant, cafe or even a pub . My dogs smile their biggest smiles when they see me pack my bags, as they know that means Ellie and Nick are coming to stay and they'll get spoilt or should i say “Much Loved” They are like our extended family, however Ellie and Buddy have a super special bond as he's know her since birth, and they are kindred spirits. I can go away knowing they are being truly loved like one of their own, yes they even get to sleep on the bed with them too, because thats where they sleep with me anyhow. I wish my 3 could right this reference as I'm confident they'd have loads to say.”
