“Paula and John looked after my little dog Panzer at short notice. I felt very at ease as he was well welcomed into their home with cuddles and treats! They took excellent care of him and he came back happy and tired after a lovely long walk. I would happily recommend and wouldn't hesitate to bring him back for another visit!”

About: When I was born our family dog was 6 months old so U can really say I've grown up with dogs. Milly my Toy poodle has had pups and I just love caring for and training little ones. Just the perfect place for you doggies while parents are away. We have paddling pools and sprinklers and lots of space and shade for summer days relaxing by the pool and ball play. All kinds of balls footballs tennis balls rubber balls bouncy balls. Toys to chew and cuddle. Walks in the snow or patterning in the puddles. Our home from home consists of two toy poodle girlies my son and I have lots of space and love to spend time with animals we are very welcoming and trustworthy. Knowing that I could only trust my girls to be happy in a home board not a kennels I provide the Perfect Place for your dog to feel loved and safe until your return. I will be able to offer boarding for small to medium dogs females and males. I look forward to meeting your pet and spending some wonderful time with them. Thanks for your interest. I am retired and I'm home most of the day. I have 2 Toy poodles and a 10 yr old son who loves animals and is always supervised with them. Our girls are our world and the day is filled with fun balls cuddles treats training and the odd bath much to their dismay. Our home is safe and secure I have cameras up and webcam log in is available to check on your pet while you aren't with them. The garden is 10000ft sq and fully enclosed.
“Marcia and Andy were flawless. They were professional and went the extra mile to ensure both dogs, who have separation anxiety, couldn’t have been looked after better, which made my break stress free knowing my best friends were in safe hands.”

“Steve has looked after my dog twice now, would absolutely recommend him, updates throughout the day, plenty of walking and exercise for my dog who has a lot of energy, my dog has come home tierd and happy”

About: I have ten years of experience in pet care, from small to big dogs. I also have experience in dog breeding, and I trained my dog from a puppy. I am more than happy to do some training during the care if you wish. I work for myself, so I have flexibility all week. I am an active person, and your fur babies will enjoy plenty of walks or runs with me. I have a fenced, spacious yard ( half acre) for your fur babies, and two very friendly and gentle dogs to keep them company. Darley Park is on our doorstep, so your fur babies will enjoy the stunning walks on the path and on the open grassland. I am very detail-oriented when it comes to taking care of dogs, so feel free to let me know all the needs your fur babies would require, and I will ensure they have what they need and beyond
About: We've had dogs for the past 14 years and love having them as part of our family, from puppies to seniors. We recently lost our Saluki Lurcher Ruby at 15 due to old age and have now got a very social and fun puppy, Peri, who would love some friends around to play with. We are an active family. We like walking and being outdoors. Both kids, 11 and 8, have grown up with dogs and know how to behave and play with them. We have a large, secure back garden perfect for zoomies. We both work from home, so around all the time. We work from home every day, so we are around all the time. We usually walk the dog twice a day, in the morning and again in the evening. We have a large, secure garden, mainly grass, perfect for playing, and plenty of space in the house for a fun and comfortable stay. We understand that every dog is different, and we are flexible to your dog's needs to ensure they feel happy and cared for.
About: We provide a relaxed, caring and safe environment for your dog(s). Our home is a farmhouse in Stanton-by-Bridge, in the countryside with lovely walks on the doorstep over fields and in woods. We have an adorable miniature labradoodle called Eddie who is 12 years old. Eddie has a lovely temperament and would welcome some new furry friends with open paws! 🐾. We encourage arranging a ‘meet and greet’ opportunity before you confirm the booking to ensure your dog is happy and comfortable. Please contact us to arrange a mutually convenient date and time. One or both of us is at home every day and if we do go out, your pet will not be unattended for more than 2 hours at a time. We have a fenced garden and a very large kitchen. We’re completely flexible with regards to allowing your dog on the furniture - whatever it takes for them to feel at home, safe and happy.
About: Hello! 👋 Richard and I both work from home, which means your dog will have company throughout the day in our calm home environment. Because I work flexibly, I accommodate walks around my working day. If I’m unable to offer the exact time you need, I’ll always suggest some practical alternatives. We’re experienced dog owners to Rupert, our 13-year-old Japanese Spitz, and Kiki, our 2-year-old Samoyed, so we’re well used to different ages, energy levels, and routines. Every dog is treated as part of the household, with plenty of care, attention, and reassurance. We’re happy for your dogs to roam freely around the house, and our garden is completely secure. We both work from home and as such can be on hand to take care of your pets during the day or overnight with relatively short notice. Our home has a fully enclosed, spacious garden, and it's located on a private road, ensuring a safe and secure environment for your pets. We allow pets to roam freely within our home, encouraging their comfort and relaxation.
“Louie seemed very happy at pick up and settled in well with Oscar too after dropping him off. Paula and Jordan were great and flexible with timings and looking after Louie with no problems. Kept me updated with photos and video. No issues and would book in again for another play date with Oscar 🙂”

“Took care of my boy for a day, provided pictures and communicated well with pictures provided during the stay. Cara did an amazing job of settling Ein in and he was so sad to leave. Highly recommend.”


“I’m so glad we took our fur babies to Helen, she made sure they felt as at home as possible and and treats them like she treats her own dogs! Couldn’t be happier with Helen’s care for my babies. Even with Louie being a puppy she helped him to feel so comfortable around the other dogs and her family. So so pleased ?”

“Natalie accepted day care for Wanda last minute and was very understanding of Wanda being nervous when she first gets left. It looks like she had a great day with Natalie from all the photos. Would recommend!”

“Samantha. H welcomed our JRT Bunty and her unique ways. She has come back relaxed and happy. We loved the photos Samantha took of Bunty and the record of her food, water intake etc, very professional. We felt very reassured and will use Samantha again and highly recommend her. Thank you”

About: I care for every dog as if it were my own. I live and breathe dogs - they are my life and I love nothing more than doggy company and seeing them run around with each other chasing a ball and having lots of fun! I am pet First Aid trained and DBS checked. I also hold a 5 star Dog Boarding licence. I work from home so someone is always around meaning your dog will get plenty of fuss and attention whilst you’re away. Snuggles on the sofa in the evening are a must! I am available all days of the week. I have a large secure garden and two friendly dogs to keep your dog company and enjoy lots of play time and fun! We also have cameras at the front and back or our property as well as a lockable gate to the garden.
Derby dog owners share their Rover experiences
Tom saved me a lot of bother when I was at an event and Jolly wasn't allowed! Met me at the station, spent the whole day with Jolly, took him on a long walk, and met me outside the hotel to drop him off. Couldn't have been better. Next time I'm in Derby, expect another booking if you're free! Thanks again :)

**⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Home Away From Home!** I needed a sitter for my Labrador, Theo, for two days and could not have been happier with our experience with Elle. Despite not having a prior meet-and-greet, she was incredibly welcoming and communicative from the start. Elle and her mom together provided such a warm, homely environment for Theo and truly treated him like one of their own. It was so comforting to know he wasn't just being looked after, but was being welcomed into a family. Elle sent regular photo updates, and I could see just how happy and relaxed Theo was in their care. I returned to a very content dog. It's clear that Elle's genuine love for animals is a family trait. I am so grateful for their kindness and would absolutely rebook without hesitation. I highly recommend Elle to anyone looking for a truly caring and family-oriented sitter for their pet! Thank you so much, Elle (and mom!), for everything

Sam is amazing with our dog Daisy, she truly treats her like her own and we are always so pleased when she is available to care for her whether that be while we are at work or for weekends away. She listens to all instructions and we receive lots of lovely and funny updates of what our girl has been up to 🙂 thanks Sam!!
