Jack took great care of my Jac again while we moved house and got settled - Jac looked so happy and chilled for his stay and came back so chilled and happy probably looking forward to his next stay already :-) 🐶

We had to go somewhere without Toby at short notice and both our regular sitters were booked up. So I turned to Rover and found Helen. How lucky were we that she was free. It had been quite a while since I’d had to go through the process of meeting a new sitter and while Toby is very chilled about where he goes and with whom, I always get anxious about leaving him somewhere new. However when I drove up to Helen’s beautiful and calm home my mind was put at rest. Helen is lovely and obviously adores dogs. She had thought of everything needed in the very hot weather, there was a fan, a paddling pool and walks only when it was safe. Her husband and other family members are also delightful and dog focused. She sent us lots of photos of Toby having a great time with another dog who was also staying. I was relaxed the whole time I was away. I recommend Helen 100% and will definitely ask to leave Toby there again.

Left Neli with Rupert while we went away for a week for the first time. We were anxious about leaving her but she had a great time and made a new friend in Cali. We had regular updates and photos and we enjoyed seeing what Neli was up to each day. Wouldn’t hesitate to leave Neli with Rupert again. Thanks again for having her 😁

This was our first experience of using this kind of service after recently adopting our 2 little boys, George & Percy. Jackson was super helpful when we made initial contact and the fact that both our dogs took to him instantly, despite one being extremely anxious, placed us completely at ease. Jackson kept us updated on their welfare and activities throughout the week and both boys look to have enjoyed their time with Jackson. Would definitely use Jackson again and highly recommend him to others without hesitation.

About: I’m a huge dog lover and regularly help friends and family with dog sitting, walks and check-ins. I’ve often been relied on to call in to feed, play with and walk dogs while owners are away, as well as providing full day and overnight care. I’m comfortable with different breeds and personalities, including golden retrievers, spaniels, bernedoodles and schnauzers. I live right by Bute Park and go there daily for walks, so I love getting dogs out for exercise, fresh air and stimulation. I’m caring, reliable and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and making them feel safe, happy and well looked after. I work flexibly and from home on some weekdays, so I’m able to give dogs plenty of attention throughout the day. I’d typically take dogs out for one longer walk and another shorter walk later in the day, with lots of play, company and toilet breaks in between. I may occasionally have an online meeting during the day, but usually no longer than an hour, so dogs are never left alone for long periods. I have a secure fenced garden and a large open-plan downstairs space where dogs can relax and roam comfortably. I’m happy for dogs to be on the sofa and make themselves at home. I already have dog toys, blankets, water bowls and treats from regularly looking after friends’ dogs, so I’m well set up to provide a safe, comfortable and welcoming environment. I always try to stick closely to each dog’s usual routine to help them feel relaxed and settled.

Just picked up Barney from Emily and he is so chilled. He clearly had a wonderful time. Emily has been great. Right from the first contact she put Barney (and me) at ease with her calm manner. She sent some lovely pics during the weekend and her handover when we picked Barney up showed how attentive and caring she has been. We would definitely recommend her.

Zhan & Lauren looked after Quinn wonderfully! They are responsive and we’re really happy to have a meet -up beforehand - it was Quinn’s first sleepover away from home, so we were a bit anxious, and Zhan & Lauren were very reassuring and put us at ease. We were kept updated with lovely photos & a video throughout Quinn’s stay, and Quinn clearly had a lovely time! He mastered the stairs he’d been a bit scared of, and got loads of lovely walks and tummy rubs! I can’t recommend Zhan & Lauren highly enough, and Quinn will definitely be back!

Danah was brilliant with Ted! Ted is very affectionate and cuddly and loves to follow his person everywhere. Danah sent regular updates of him (sleeping by her side or on her lap as expected 🤣) and communicated with us regularly so that we could have our working weekend away not worrying about him at home. She gave him plenty of daily exercise too. We unfortunately were 2 hours late back and Danah was extremely accommodating with this. We would definitely leave Ted with her again 🥰

Mollie was brilliant with Rusty from start to finish. From the start, her communication was clear and reassuring, both before and during the stay, which really put us at ease. When we picked Rusty up, he seemed happy and relaxed. It was obvious that she genuinely understands dogs, including their individual needs and little quirks, and took the time to make him feel comfortable and cared for. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and attentive sitter.

I cannot fault Sev & Austin at all! Although the service is just a carer for my boy, It's a plus to see an extra face just so my baby can share out the love in him! I had very good communication from sev, updates every now and again as I requested (I didn't want to stress while he's away so this helped) Asked all the right questions as and when needed, he's got a unique personality and he is a bit of a unique breed so I definitely cannot fault you at all, some people see it as a bit of a challenge but it was a ball park as I still got on with my duties while he was away with no issues, I was happy seeing my boy spread his wings & live his best life surrounded by love and care which is exactly what I feel like I got! My boys exhausted now that he's back home but I can tell his hearts received a lot of warmth and joy over this weekend! Thank you guys there's nothing more I can ask for 🙏🏽
