“Keziah was incredibly friendly and welcoming when I left Sonny with her for the day. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in her care. Throughout the day, I received photos showing Sonny relaxed and happy, which was very reassuring. Keziah thoughtfully checked with me before giving him his dinner, which I really appreciated. I collected a cheerful Sonny at the end of the day and will definitely be booking with Keziah again.”

They both had the knowledge and skills to look after other people's dogs at their home. Made my break more comfortable with the knowledge that Charlie was in good hands There was no stress.

About: Animals have been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember. I raised my beloved rescue dog from a 2-month-old puppy all the way to 14 years. In her final years, she became very ill, which gave me extensive, hands-on experience in specialized senior care and administering medical treatments, including oral tablets, liquid solutions, and eye drops. Throughout my life, I have also owned and cared for many cats.Beyond my own pets, family members, friends, and neighbors have regularly trusted me to sit, feed, and look after their dogs of various breeds and sizes. I am a very active person, so I am always excited for long walks and engaging playtime. I am also happy to help with essential grooming, such as brushing and safe nail trimming. Your pet will receive the highest level of responsibility, love, and dedicated care! I am currently not working, which means I have a completely flexible schedule and can dedicate all my free time to your pet. I am available at any time by prior arrangement, allowing me to provide constant attention, timely feeding, and long walks whenever your dog needs them. Safety and trust are my absolute priorities. I have plenty of space in my home and a secure, fenced garden where your dog can play safely. Since I currently do not have any pets of my own, your furry friend will receive 100% of my love, care, and undivided attention. Having raised a rescue dog for 14 years, I know exactly how to keep your pet happy, comfortable, and safe.

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.

My loveable boxer Reggie, had been going to Heather for several yrs, I have no worries on leaving him, he loves going and pulls all the way to her door. Reggie is always very well cared for and receive lovely updates throughout the day & overnight stays. Heather is a godsend to our family and het love of animals shines brightly ******

Jane had Ollie for the weekend for me and he was treated as one of the family, went on some great walks, had a lovely time and would have happily stayed with her forever I'm sure! He will definitely be back to stay again in the future. My first Rover experience and Ollie hasn't stayed away from me much at all in the last few years so I was a little nervous, but as soon as I met her I felt that Ollie was in capable and caring hands with Jane. Communication was great and it was really nice to receive photos of Ollie's adcentures. Thank you so much Jane 💓

The first couple of days, Sonny was a bit unsettled, but I felt confident that Olivita would help him settle in—especially with her lovely dog, Mikey, there to keep him company. I really appreciated receiving photos showing Sonny getting cuddles from the humans and happily playing with Mikey. It was also incredibly thoughtful of Olivita to sleep downstairs with him when he was howling, which showed real care and understanding. When we picked him up, Sonny was super excited to see us, which reassured me that he’d had a fun and loving stay. I’d be more than happy to leave Sonny with Olivita again.
