“Kirsty & Dan (& Benji!) are 5⭐️ - Our pup Barney absolutely loves going to see them. It’s like a home from home for him. He loves spending time there and playing with Benji. They are very attentive to his needs and I instantly felt comfortable leaving Barney with them. Can’t recommend highly enough.”


“Oakley seemed very happy in Angelika’s care and was also super excited to see her and his new friends when we bumped into them at the park the day after his stay with her. Angelika has a lovely home and her communication both prior to and during Oakley’s stay was exceptional. I certainly intend to use her again.”

“Couldn’t recommend Gabby enough, my 7 month old puppy clearly had the best time with her and Ralph, he came home happy and tired. Great set up with large secure garden. She kept me updated with regular photos and videos. He will definitely be going back to stay.”

“Camiila has been amazing with my 5 month old puppy. Nyx really enjoys going to see her and it is lovely that Nyx has another dog to socialise and play with. I get up dates during the day and Camila is very accommodating with specific needs of my dog. I couldn't imagine her going anywhere else now.”

“July the 1st was Mykie's initial experience at the doggy daycare run by Stephen. Stephen is an exceptionally friendly and upbeat person. Stephen took care of Mykie, who evidently relished Stephen's presence. Additionally, Stephen shared a couple of photos of Mykie during his stay, which reassures us of his well-being. We are certainly planning to arrange home boarding with Stephen in the near future.”

About: I have grown up around dogs my whole life and absolutely love using Rover as it allows me to spend time with all your lovely pooches whilst I am unable to get a dog of my own. I have experience with many breeds, including Dobermans, Labs, Pointers, Terriers, Cockapoos and Dachshunds and I tailor my approach to each dog’s unique personality and needs. Keeping dogs happy, stimulated and exercised is what I love. From long morning walks to engaging daytime games and evening cuddles on the sofa you can trust your dog will be having a great time and I’ll of course be sending you lots of pictures and updates throughout their stay. I am a fully remote worker so I can offer boarding at my house (provided dogs are house trained) or I can do stays at your house. My partner (also a huge dog lover) will occasionally join me on these stays. I am a remote worker so I am at home all day to care for the dogs. So walks and doggy activities are planned around my work schedule (morning walks, lunchtime play in the garden and evening activities). My only requirement is your dog needs to be well-behaved during down times as I will need to be on work calls during the day. I have experience with all sorts of different personalities so will largely follow your direction and usual routine. I know the area well and choose my walks carefully based on how reactive they are with other dogs. Regarding my house, we have a secure garden for them to explore.

About: I work from home and had a young at heart 13 year old black lab and retired PAT dog (he passed away in '24) I grew up with a springer spaniel and also had a beautiful bull mastiff. I work from home most days. I do have location work which means I can't look after dogs then. Other than that I can be flexible with notice. My garden is fenced and large. I live opposite a wood and fields so plenty of good walks nearby. Dogs sleep downstairs in an open plan sitting room/kitchen. All wooden floors. No carpets.
“Molly and Onyx have really enjoyed their time with Louis and have responded to him well. Louis is attentive to their needs and spends time with them, getting to know their personalities. It's difficult having to find someone new to look after the dogs when you've had the same people doing it for several years, but Louis is amazing and I'm very happy that he was available when needed. It's a big thumbs and paws up from us and we'll definitely be booking again for more doggy walks and daycare. Thank you Louis.”
“Freddy loved his day with Dawn! Even during a short stay I had regular updates with photos and Freddy looked super happy and right at home. Would definitely recommend Dawn and we wouldn’t hesitate to use them again!”


“Guoda was great! Agreed to help out with my puppy with only a couple of hours notice. You could tell Guoda loves animals instantly with the way she was meeting Skye which gave me a lot of reassurance. I was updated throughout the day with messages and pictures. Will definitely be back to use Guoda again🥰”

About: I have grown up with dogs and love being in their company. I have experience of looking after many types of dog and would have plenty of time to spend walking and playing with your pet. I work from home part-time (22 hours) so I have plenty of time to care for your dog. I live in a 4 bedroom house with a secure garden. I have two daughters, a 14 year old and a 6 year old, both are very happy and comfortable around dogs. I have a secure fenced garden with plenty of space for your pet to run around. There are lots of great places locally for dog walks, including the local rec. I have no dogs or other animals of my own. I work part-time, from home. This allows me to be flexible to your dogs routine, such as toilet routines, exercise, play, feeding etc. I spend a lot of time at home so your dog will have plenty of company. I have a secure, fenced garden. I am also trained in dog first aid/CPR (September 2022) and have access to a dog first aid kit. I live near plenty of lovely places to walk your dog.
About: I take the time to understand every dog’s routine, personality, and needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and at home. I’m experienced with dogs of all ages and temperaments, including seniors and anxious pups, and I make sure every dog feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I don't work now, so I can devote all of my time to caring, playing and fun walks with your dog. I have two parks near by and we have lots of calm cuddles and comfy naps after. I am licenced with BCP and Safety, trust, and a calm environment are always my top priorities. I care for pets in a clean, secure, and comfortable home where they’re never left unattended for long periods. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, and care instructions to help them feel settled and stress-free. I keep a close eye on behavior, energy levels, and appetite, and I’m quick to respond if anything seems off. I treat every pet like family—making sure they feel safe, loved.
About: We’ve taken care of our own lovely dog for 15 plus years. Our morning and evening dog walks, come rain or shine, are in our extensive local country side. Our quarter acre garden is secure and dog friendly and your dog can wander safely at all times in the day. There is always someone in the house so your dog will not be left alone. We are a retired couple who work to a dog friendly routine of interesting walks morning and evening. We are rarely out of the house together and if we are it is for very short periods and infrequently. We ensure your dog is able to settle in without feeling unsafe or threatened. Our garden is large and completely secure for dogs of all sizes. There is room in our house for your dog to wander and room for beds / cages if appropriate. We work to create an environment where your dog can feel safe and happy.

David looked after our 5 and a half month old pup Olive for the day and was fantastic. Great communication with a short notice booking, kept us updated in the day and I think Olive had the best day ever, looked very settled in when I came to pick her up! Thank you 🙏
