“Kristel was warm and welcoming host to Harriet and Milo, kept me updated throughout the stay and sent lots of photos and videos :) Will use their services again and recommend. Thank you.”
“We had an amazing experience from start to finish with Lucy. Our frenchie, Nellie, had the best time staying with her and was incredibly well looked after. We really appreciated the photos and updates every day. We could tell Nellie felt at home and at ease staying with Lucy. I would definitely recommend her to anyone wanting their dog to stay in a loving home while you’re away and we have already recommended her to family and friends!!”
“Meisha was absolutely brilliant! She booked a meet and greet for us, and her and Freddy hit it off from the start. We fully trusted Meisha, and Freddy felt so at home there - he even got to visit her family which was super sweet, a real “one of the family” feeling. She went above and beyond to make Freddy comfortable and stick to his usual routines, and knew everything about him (we really appreciated it and knew he was in safe hands). We’ll definitely book Meisha again - can’t thank her enough! x”
“Emily was fantastic with our Labrador. He got on really well with the host dogs and was very happy. Emily is brilliant at communicating and providing picture updates. Thank you so much!”
“I was more than happy with the service provided by Meg in looking after my terrier at such short notice. The house and facilities were perfect and the regular updates put me at ease. Thank you for looking after my dog.”
“Antonia cared for our retriever x Loki and took such great care of him. From the moment we dropped him at her home we were kept informed with picture updates and felt completely reassured the whole time. She took him on long walks and he always looked so relaxed and happy. He came home very contented, if not a little sad to be back! We will 100% use Antonia again! Thank you!”
“Neal well what can I say...or where do I start from?..A humble gentleman who took care of my son my labrador who is full of beans. Nice house and gardens. Highly recommended and we sure will be leaving our boy Kiko with Neal again ♡♡♡”
“Many thanks to Yvonne for caring for Rosie so well over the weekend. It’s the first time Rosie has stayed there . I was nervous as Rosie is a miniature dachshund and is a real Mummy’s girl . But Yvonne invited us to her house for a couple of visits before I finally left Rosie . The stay went wonderfully, with lots of photos of Rosie having cuddles and belly rubs . Thanks Yvonne , Rosie will become a regular visitor xx”
About: Dogs are the most wonderful animal on the planet. I have recently been offering home stays for friends and family and it's been lovely having those cheeky face around my house. So I've decided to offer my dog loving home to your fury family. They will be treated like royalty. I am at home most days so your lovely dog will have lots of company. Dog stays will include nice walks in the county side and lots of love and cuddles. I can Taylor my day to meet their needs. I also visit my mum who is an animal lover so your pet will visit her too if booked in on those days. (Your dog needs to travel well in a car) I have a nice sized fenced garden so you dog will have plenty of space. I'm home all day and on nice weather days the door to the garden is left open so your lovely dog can come and go as they please.
“Highly recommended, will be booking with sabina again. She is very experienced with caring for dogs/animals and even provided some training for my dog whilst caring for her. Tallulah was very happy and comfortable staying with Sabina & her lovely family.”
“My German Shepherd Ava had a great time and I got the impression should could have stayed longer. Can't do better than that! Simone was great and sent me pictures of Ava to ease our mind whilst we were on holiday. I would use Simone again without question as I know Ava would be happy.”
“Tessa and scout were amazing with my Staffy Walter. From introductions the day prior, updates during his stay and giving him his allergy meds. Walter was very well taken care of and I can't thank Tessa enough. Walter is excited to see Tessa and Scout again soon.”
“We have not had a holiday in many years because we have not had anyone to look after our dog. This year we decided to look for some one to care for Sadie in their home. We found Rover and looked at all their sitters, we went to Alison in the first place because she was near to our home.On meeting Alison she put our mind at rest immediately, Sadie took to her straight away and we were able to go on holiday without any concern. Alison sent us a message and a photo everyday. Alison’s fees are not the cheapest on the sight but she is worth every penny for the peace of mind and I hope we will be able to make us of her service in the future, I cannot praise her to much. Gail Blamire.”

“Highly recommended and gave my dogs a home from home experience. Shelby looked after my two dogs for two nights and we were updated lots with photos of them playing, out on walks and snuggled up with Shelby. We were put at ease straight away when we met them before boarding and this trust and care for our dogs continued with excellent communication before, during and after the boarding experience. We will definitely trust and use them again. Thank you so much guys.”

I am studying my diploma in canine behaviour so I am very familiar with a variety of behaviours and I know how to handle them. I have also looked after many cats through the years. All sizes and breeds welcome. Have also got experience in training puppies. I only work 3 days a week currently due to having a 1 year old, so I am home at least 3 days a week. Work from the office two days, and then weekends we do a variety of dog walks and activities but tailor our time if we have a dog in our care. I can crate dogs if necessary, or if they are not crate trained they are free to roam the house! Everything is dog friendly anyway due to having my own pet in the house, and I ensure that all your rules and training schedules are adhered to.

“Julie was incredible with our Shadow! Super friendly and considerate. She kept us updated loads, sending us pictures and texts about what he's been up to and how much he's been eating. Shadow was very happy and relaxed around Julie. Would definitely recommend and use again! ”
“I am incredibly anxious about leaving my cats but Alex sends me updates and videos of the girls which is great. Even got my (I don't like other people) cat - Mya to let him have a good fuss of her which is shows amazing development for Mya. When we come back both cats are happy, water bowls are full and cat litters are clean. ”
“This is my second time booking Luisa and as per before, I am really happy with her cat sitting services. I came home to a very happy cat! Luisa kept me in the loop the entire time I was away and I felt I could relax knowing that my baby was in good hands. Will definitely hire her again and would recommend her to anyone.”
“Stéphanie was perfect! She did ask lot of question about our kitten prior to visit, as food preference, outside permitted or not, toys...she then provided update and picture. Will recommend her without a doubt.”
“Meghan looked after my cat for two nights, coming to my home twice a day to feed him, and I couldn’t be happier with her care. My cat is usually very scared of new people and tends to hide, never coming out to say hello, but Meghan still managed everything perfectly with patience and understanding. It gave me real peace of mind knowing he was being looked after so well. I’m really grateful for her help and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring cat sitter. Thank you,”
“Kristal and Lewis were great! I met with Kris prior to the booking and you can tell right off the bat that she has a true passion and love for animals! They followed my very lengthy list of instructions down to a T, I was worried about leaving my girls for the first time but with the check-ins and reports after every visit along with pictures, I was quickly put at ease! Communication was great and I can't thank them enough for looking after my babies 😊”

“I needed care for my cat with short notice due to a last minute trip, Sophie replied quickly and arranged a meet and greet. I was very anxious as it’s the first time I’ve left my cat home alone and she can be quite shy. I needn’t have worried, Sophie was fantastic. She was reliable, followed my care instructions, gave lots of updates and pictures, and most importantly provided my cat with plenty of play and fuss! I’m very happy with the service received, highly recommend and will be a returning customer ☺️ thank you again Sophie for your wonderful care of Greta”

“Really happy that I’ve found Meisha, I will definitely rebook, it was good to hear that he settled and from the photos it looks as though he made himself at home. It was a good sign that he ran straight in when I got him out of the car. Very happy to have left Steve in good hands x”

About: I have many years experience caring for my own pets and for family and friends, including feeding, walking, and making sure they feel comfortable and settled while their owners are away. As a young child I was taught how to care for our family pets, from cats, guinee pigs, hamsters and goldfish, dogs came later into my life when I became a young adult. I understand how important routine is for animals, and I always take the time to get to know their individual needs and personalities. When it comes to home care, I’m tidy, trustworthy, and conscientious. I treat every home with respect, keeping it clean, secure, and well looked after. Whether it’s watering plants, keeping things organised, or simply ensuring everything runs smoothly, I take pride in doing things properly. Above all, I genuinely enjoy helping others and providing peace of mind, knowing that both pets and homes are in safe hands. At the moment, I work from home four days a week, which suits me perfectly as it allows me to care for my dog and look after any others when needed. This arrangement gives me the flexibility to manage my responsibilities comfortably and ensures the pets receive plenty of attention throughout the day. During the weekends, I have increased availability to care for your beloved pets, should you need it. My days are dedicated to discovering fresh walking routes and exploring new destinations, all tailored to provide plenty of stimulation and adventure for those curious noses eager to experience new scents and surroundings. I have a fenced secure garden which is pet friendly just like my home, creating a safe, trusting, and comfortable environment is always my top priority. I take time to get to know each pet’s routine, likes, and dislikes to help them feel right at home. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or just some quiet company, I always make sure their wellbeing comes first. I pay close attention to any instructions or special needs, and I’m happy to adapt my approach depending on the service you need. If you have any questions or specific requests, please let me know—your pet’s safety and happiness are at the heart of everything I do!

Thank you, Paulina, for taking such great care of Jilly!”
About: Hello! My name is Sarah and I live with my husband Matthew. I have been looking after people's pets since I was a child, and I've always loved animals. We are an animal loving family (the kind that throw their dogs birthday parties). I am very trustworthy and love having dogs around. We have a detached house and a secure garden with a large lawn for them to play on. A dog in our care will be treated as a family pet and have the run of the house and garden. The can sit on the sofas with us and come upstairs at night . My dogs mean the world to me, and I pride myself on giving all dogs the best possible care. We only take small dogs due to having a little chihuahua who finds larger dogs a bit overwhelming, so you don't have to worry about your dog being upset by larger breeds. We may consider a slightly larger dog if it is very calm and/or older. I work part time (2 or 3 days per week), and my husband does short days, so the pooches are never on their own very long. We like to take them on at least two good walks per day, in different locations, typically parks or forests. We make sure all dogs on our care are really happy, and I send regular photos and updates about your pooches because I know how nerve wracking it can be leaving them. We typically look after only one client's dog(s), so your pet(s) would get our full attention. I am happy to give any medication. Please let us know your dog's routine and likes/dislikes and we will do our very best to accommodate them. We're happy to answer any questions you might have, and we are looking forward to meeting you and your dog! I work part time 2 or 3 days, and my husband works from home sometimes and does short days also so our dogs (and yours) will seldom be left alone, and never for very long. We walk them 2 times a day in a range of locations to keep it fun! Weekends can be long long walks if they like. We have a detached 4 bedroom house with a large, secure rear garden laid to lawn. Your dogs will have the free run of the whole house. We always keep your dogs on leads for walks, and we will make sure they only eat the food you provide.
“Thanks for looking after Jasper for the day. He’s somewhat of a neurotic spaniel but seemed to settle straight away and was very calm (for his standards) when we came to pick him up. Thanks again.”
About: I've had dogs all my life, with my Labrador she gets awfully lonely in the day while I work so would love a friend to play with ❤️ I currently work from home so can care for dogs all day in and around my working day.

About: I had 2 beautiful staffies that have now passed on due to old age and I know how hard it is to find good people to look after your pet last minute or even for holidays or days out, I miss having dogs but like to travel so can no longer be a permanent dog owner, but I'm happy to share the love and look after your furry friends In your time of need. I have experience looking after cats and dogs in my adult life and had various other pets as a child (all had fur or feathers) I do not allow animals on my furniture or on/in my bed, these are my non negotiables as I like the spaces I use to relax to be free of dog hair and dirt. This doesn't change the fact that your pet will be loved and fussed (if that's what they like) I prefer dogs to have a crate as my 2 loved theirs and it helps keep boundaries in the home, however, I am flexible with each pets individual care needs, I can sleep downstairs or have your pet sleep in their bed in my bedroom if needed for anxious pets or those used to sleeping in bed with their owners. I would prefer a visit/meet before any official booking to ensure I am the right fit for your pet and vise versa, but I appreciate this won't always be possible, communication is key, as I want to offer the best care possible for your pet. I have experience in crate training, muzzle training and puppy/toilet training. I have also have experience with teaching dogs of all ages new tricks, commands and stimulating their minds so they are more receptive to learning. I have been looking after other people's dogs before for years including family members, friends and a few friends of friends. Ive had dogs stay with me for weeks at a time too. Whatever your needs are give me a shout, I used this service myself for my boy years ago and was very anxious to leave him with a stranger so please ask any questions you may have, I'm an open book. I work from home on certain days of the week, this can change as sometimes I may need to visit clients but this is rare and usually pre planned. Pets will be walked first thing in the morning before work and then again after work, or whatever is required for each individual. It's important and animal is stimulated and gets exercise if they are able. I have a small grass back garden that is fenced off for fresh air and toilet needs, there is a park 2 minutes form my house for walks etc. I don't currently have any pets at home
About: I have experience of looking after 7 golden retrievers at one time. I love walking and have a clean and safe home which is dog friendly.

About: I've lived with dogs for the majority of my lifetime. I grey up with a collie and a whippet cross, and my wild rabbit Rosie. As soon as I settled down and got a house and got married, we've had dogs, rabbits, hamsters, rats and even ran a guinea pig rescue for 5 years. I currently have 4 rescue dogs, an ex racing greyhound, 2 Romanian Street dogs and a staffycross. I am used to administering medication, and owning both nervous and reactive dogs. I have had my fair share of different dog sitters, I've found brilliant ones who stopped doing the job or I moved from the area and was out their area covered. I've had some poor ones who didn't listen to us, those who lied or left my dogs alone for hours and hours. You can rest assured whatever I say I will do, I will. I will listen to you and I won't make any guesses. Generally I will only offer a maximum of 3 nights to a sit, however, if you need more than this, always feel free to message me and discuss. I work from home and can work anywhere with WiFi, so I will be home during the day and at night, unless I need to pop home to see to my own dogs, I would aways make you aware of this before you book with me. I currently work full time Monday to Friday. I can work anywhere there is wi fi and a quiet space to sit and work from. I am looking to offer pet sitting from your home. I cannot currently commit to more than 3 night stays, but I am always open to requests and if I am free and able, I will help with slightly longer stays. I am happy to listen to you and do what you need. I can offer pet sitting from my home, but this could only be for small animals.

About: I have taken care of friends and family dogs and cats for the past 15 years, I have looked after both small and large dogs ranging from mini dachshunds to rough collies.

Dogs are more than welcome on the furniture.
“We was away for 3 days and Athina walked our dog Milo whilst we was away. Athina would keep me updated on how each walk went and also sent pictures and a route of where they had walked. Athina was always on time and looks like Athina and Milo had known each other for years. Would really recommend her services.”

About: CATS - I’ve had cats since the age of 9. I currently have 3 cats who I adore. One of them has asthma and I am experienced in medicating her with her inhaler. I have had cats in the past who have been on tablet medication who I have solely cared for so am experienced in giving cats tablet medicine. I previously cared for a cat who had medication from a syringe (orally) so I have a bit of experience giving medicine in a syringe to cats also. I have groomed every cat I’ve owned including nail care. DOGS - I lived with dogs for a number of years when I was at home with my parents. I don’t have experience giving dogs medication or grooming them but I have lots of experience walking small - medium dogs. I wouldn’t feel comfortable with large dogs unfortunately. I absolutely love animals and have so much room in my heart to love and care for them. Unfortunately I just don’t have the room in my house, which is why I choose to care for others pets instead so that I can still open my heart to them. I am a mobile carer so I’m always on the go. I’m very used to driving around and keeping to specific schedules so I’m happy to stay as close to your pets personal schedule as I can! CATS - when caring for a cat in your home I will stick to routine as much as possible and follow your guidelines in your home. I do not board cats. DOGS - with dogs I will follow your routine as much as possible as well and follow your guidelines in your home. Walks will always be on lead unless told otherwise, and I will only take them off lead once I am confident they will come when I call them. I do not board dogs

“Kristel was warm and welcoming host to Harriet and Milo, kept me updated throughout the stay and sent lots of photos and videos :) Will use their services again and recommend. Thank you.”
“We had an amazing experience from start to finish with Lucy. Our frenchie, Nellie, had the best time staying with her and was incredibly well looked after. We really appreciated the photos and updates every day. We could tell Nellie felt at home and at ease staying with Lucy. I would definitely recommend her to anyone wanting their dog to stay in a loving home while you’re away and we have already recommended her to family and friends!!”
“Meisha was absolutely brilliant! She booked a meet and greet for us, and her and Freddy hit it off from the start. We fully trusted Meisha, and Freddy felt so at home there - he even got to visit her family which was super sweet, a real “one of the family” feeling. She went above and beyond to make Freddy comfortable and stick to his usual routines, and knew everything about him (we really appreciated it and knew he was in safe hands). We’ll definitely book Meisha again - can’t thank her enough! x”
“Emily was fantastic with our Labrador. He got on really well with the host dogs and was very happy. Emily is brilliant at communicating and providing picture updates. Thank you so much!”
“I was more than happy with the service provided by Meg in looking after my terrier at such short notice. The house and facilities were perfect and the regular updates put me at ease. Thank you for looking after my dog.”
“Antonia cared for our retriever x Loki and took such great care of him. From the moment we dropped him at her home we were kept informed with picture updates and felt completely reassured the whole time. She took him on long walks and he always looked so relaxed and happy. He came home very contented, if not a little sad to be back! We will 100% use Antonia again! Thank you!”

A close friend of mine runs a dog walking business which I often help out with and have pet sat for the last 4 or 5 years and my brother in law runs a local kennel which I’ve always helped with. I work full time as an HR consultant, however I work from home fully remote. I have a dog of my own who is very sweet and loves other animals so I regularly walk her through the local woods and friends which is accessible from my house. I have no children, don’t smoke and pets are allowed on the furniture too. I also live close to the Peak District for lots of long adventures.

“Highly recommended, will be booking with sabina again. She is very experienced with caring for dogs/animals and even provided some training for my dog whilst caring for her. Tallulah was very happy and comfortable staying with Sabina & her lovely family.”
“Paulina was incredible! My dog is a very big and challenging boy but he was good as gold and Paulina did so well walking him, especially in a heatwave! Cannot recommend her enough, thank you so so much!”
“My German Shepherd Ava had a great time and I got the impression should could have stayed longer. Can't do better than that! Simone was great and sent me pictures of Ava to ease our mind whilst we were on holiday. I would use Simone again without question as I know Ava would be happy.”
“Tessa and scout were amazing with my Staffy Walter. From introductions the day prior, updates during his stay and giving him his allergy meds. Walter was very well taken care of and I can't thank Tessa enough. Walter is excited to see Tessa and Scout again soon.”
“Highly recommended and gave my dogs a home from home experience. Shelby looked after my two dogs for two nights and we were updated lots with photos of them playing, out on walks and snuggled up with Shelby. We were put at ease straight away when we met them before boarding and this trust and care for our dogs continued with excellent communication before, during and after the boarding experience. We will definitely trust and use them again. Thank you so much guys.”
About: Up until the last few years we have always had dogs, we are experienced with large breeds and have previously owned GSD and GSDxRottweiler . We also used to have a stuffy x, so are used to stubborn, picky dogs 🤣 ours used to refuse to get her paws wet ❤️ We have a large garden with a high fence. Due to work we havent had dogs since ours passed away. I work in secondary education, meaning I have all of the school holidays off, and would love to use this time to care for your pets. I can guarantee lots of cuddles, fuss, love and making your pet feel at home whilst you are away. I currently work full time, however, I only work term-time. However, if you are ok with your dog being left whilst I am at work, please message. Otherwise, my services will only be during half terms. I have a large fenced garden available for them to play in and toilet breaks. We live close by to the Avenue Washlands for walks, and the woods in wingerworth.
“Sarah was excellent with our 7 month old Whippet. We were nervous to leave him with anyone as it’s was his first time away from us but Sarah made us feel at ease. Being a young puppy he is still very demanding but this didn’t phase her at all. She communicated brilliantly throughout and he was well looked after and cared for during his stay. Sarah did everything she could to make him feel at home and even taught him a new trick by the time we collected him! We will definitely use Sarah again and would recommend! ☺️”
About: I have taken care of every kind of dog since I was 10 years old, my parents used to have a small holding and used to breed dogs so I am quite experience of handling. I do walk my neighbours dogs. I have a lovely springer spaniel who is such a brundle of joy and want to meet new fury friends I currently work part-time so your fur babies have my full attention. My weekends are always open. I’m always out with my spaniel keeping him active. I have a fence Garden, I have a friendly springer spaniel myself that I’d love to play with your fair babies. I have plenty of big fields around me to join, join us on our walks.
About: I have owned dogs my whole life, a variety of breeds and sizes. I have a working cocker spaniel who is very friendly. I am studying my diploma in canine behaviour so I am very familiar with a variety of behaviours and I know how to handle them. I have also looked after many cats through the years. All sizes and breeds welcome. Have also got experience in training puppies. I only work 3 days a week currently due to having a 1 year old, so I am home at least 3 days a week. Work from the office two days, and then weekends we do a variety of dog walks and activities but tailor our time if we have a dog in our care. I can crate dogs if necessary, or if they are not crate trained they are free to roam the house! Everything is dog friendly anyway due to having my own pet in the house, and I ensure that all your rules and training schedules are adhered to.
“We cannot recommend this incredible dog service highly enough! From start to finish, everything was seamless, thoughtful, and genuinely above and beyond anything we expected. Our dog, Beau, was chaperoned to our wedding, where he played an important role in our big day, and then lovingly cared for throughout the evening, night, and the following day. We received regular updates and beautiful photos of Beau looking relaxed, happy, and totally at ease—always with a smile on his face. It gave us such peace of mind knowing he was not just being looked after, but truly cared for. Every detail we discussed was remembered and followed perfectly. The whole process was easy and well-organised, and it was clear that Beau was in the most capable and compassionate hands. When we picked him up, he was happy to see us—but we could tell he missed her already! He was quiet and a little sorrowful the rest of the day, which just goes to show how much he enjoyed his time and how well he was looked after. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of our precious fur baby on such a special occasion. You made it all even more memorable! A&A”
