“My welshie had a great time with Michelle & Ronny; great updates and pics. My pup has slept since I’ve collected him - all the chasing and wrestling with Ronny (!!) who is such a lovely dog. Thank you Michelle.”


“Kirsty has been an absolute godsend. She took our Mylo over Christmas. During our initial phone conversation she asked loads of questions and was keen to know everything about Mylo. During his stay she kept us up to date with messages and photos. Thanks again Kirsty . It was such peace of mind knowing our boy was being so well looks after .”

“5* review - Katy is extremely passionate and knowledgable with dogs, she treats your fur baby exactly like her own. Biggie had a lovely few nights staying with her, Chris and Tiger. She sent regular updates & photos of what they had been upto and it totally put my mind at ease. If you’re looking for a trustworthy and reliable dog sitter then she is your woman! 😊”

“Lexie what’s a great Sitter for our dog Parker. She offered to come and meet him beforehand so she could get to know him and his needs. She sent photos while we were away and he seemed very happy and comfortable there. Would use again.”


About: I have recently started a new job and keen to kick start this account again😊 I have had dogs my whole life, starting with labradors and now border terriers. I am a young, fit individual who loves going on walks and spending time with dogs. My own dog Teddy has epilepsy so I am able to manage dogs with medical conditions well. I have access to a car and can drive to any appointments🚘 Please don’t hesitate to message any questions. I currently work full time through a shift schedule. However I often have spare time on my hands during days off on which I would love to go a walk or help out other dog owners. I can also provide overnight boarding for well behaved, socialised dogs. When in someone else’s home I will respect any instructions given to me. I can bring my own dog on walks (if wanted) to keep company.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since a young age, I trained my own puppy and also cared for a senior dog in his old age - I have experience with small, medium and large breeds! I currently work 9-5, Monday to Friday - I am available for dog walking every weekday after 6pm or any time on the weekends! Please ask about pet boarding. We have a fenced garden and good walks nearby - I will provide photos of my time with your pet for peace of mind! Please let me know if you have any questions.
“This was Sassy's second " holiday" with Helen. She usually gets annoyed with me if I leave her for any length of time, but she was happy to see me again after a week away. Obviously, she was happy with Helen who sent me many photos to reassure me that Sassy was fine. I would be happy to recommend Helen's services to others.”

“Just got Rosey back from her holiday with Kat 🥳🥳 what can we say a massive Ty for looking and loving our Rosey ! We can see she had a lovely time 🙏 pics sent and contact made, very responsive to messages would not hesitate to recommend Kat ! The whole process from booking through Rover to Kat picking up Rosey was a breeze, & will definitely be booking again !!”

“Isla was very happy staying over at Mollie's house. Isla can be a bit over friendly 🫣 but Mollie handled this really well and took great care of her. Isla is looking forward to her next visit already!! 🐾🐾”

“Cora looked after our dear WCS for a day today and couldn’t have been nicer. She and her dog were very kind, made sure Ruby felt at home and had a lovely walk together. I highly recommend Cora and look forward to meeting her again.”

“Our puppy Vincent had the best time staying with Savannah, he made lots of new friends and did not want to leave when we came to pick him up! Savannah is an incredible dog sitter who clearly knows how to look after each dog to its individual needs and goes out of her way to make sure they have a perfect stay!”

“Amy was a wonderful pet sitter for our dog, Evie. She has a sweet disposition and was able to gain Evie’s trust quickly. Her two dogs have a very chill vibe and her house was perfectly set up to afford Evie a wonderful experience, from a fenced-in yard to comfy dog furniture— though Evie loved snuggling on the couch. Amy provided pictures and a text update every day so we always knew that Evie was doing well. I highly recommend Amy’s services as a pet sitter.”

Honestly couldn’t have asked for better people to look after Gus on the night of our wedding 🖤 We were obviously nervous leaving him on such an important day, but Natalia and Jordan were amazing from start to finish. We got loads of updates and photos which made us feel so relaxed, and it was obvious Gus was having the best time. They were so thoughtful during the heatwave too, making sure he stayed cool and even treating him to a little ice cream 🥹🍦 Would 100% recommend them and absolutely trust them with him again!
