“Great service. Charlie isn't the easiest dog to look after but Meisha made us feel at ease and reassured to leave Charlie with her. He was well cared for and looked after like he was her own dog. Would definitely book with her again”
“Shelby and her partner were really attentive with our Daschund, Minnie. Minnie is a really needy dog and suffers from separation anxiety but settled really well with Shelby:) she was really well looked after whilst we were away for the weekend and could relax knowing Minnie was well cared for. highly recommend Shelby to care for your dogs!”
“Kris and Louis really looked after Otto, we were very happy leaving him with them and Kris sent us lots of photos every day, which was really appreciated! He didn’t get on well with fireworks night but they looked after him and comforted him through it.”

“Lucy was great with our 2 dogs, really went that extra mile. Plenty of pics and messages so I knew they were settled. It was their first visit and nothing was too much trouble. I really recommend Lucy and we will be using her services next time we're away.”
“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!”
“Simone took excellent care of my high energy 13-month-old working line German Shepherd Storm while we were away, Storm has lead reactivity and separation anxiety but Simone handled him perfectly, even when he barked initially Simone handled it with perfect calm confidence and made him feel safe and settled. She took him for plenty of walks and kept him cool in the heat, we came back to a well taken care of comfortable happy puppy, I can’t recommend Simone enough, we will certainly be booking her again in the future! Thank you so much Simone! 😊”
“Chester enjoyed his time with Lone and her young family . I would fully recommend Lone to look after my puppy again in the future. Chester was not stressed or anxious on collection. In fact he was still happy to be there once I came to collect him. Thank you Lone it was a big help today see you soon 😀”
“We have never used a dog sitter/home boarding before, so we were really anxious leaving Willow with someone we didn't know. But from the moment we met Sue, she made us feel completely at ease. We went armed with a list of things to ask because we were so anxious, but she made us feel so assured and comfortable, there was no need. She has a really safe and secure home and garden and is happy to go with whatever needs you and your dog has. We were so happy we have booked again for our family holiday later this year and will happily recommend Sue to anyone.”
“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”
“Thank you to Sarah, Matt and the boys. Terry went to stay for a few days while we went to a family wedding. He had a great time and was really welcomed into the family, in fact, not sure he wanted to come back! Will definitely be going back again. Thank you so much”

“It's been an absolute pleasure to leave Lola with Sue, she is such a lovely lady and took such good care of Lola. We are very confident that we have found the right person to leave Lola with whenever we need to. I actually think Lola didn't want to come home. Thank you Sue”

About: I have grown up with animals all my life! Mainly dogs but a lot more smaller animals too🤍 I currently have 2 of my own German shepherds which are my babies and love other doggies being around too. I work from home which means your dog will have a home away from home with us 🫶🏼 I work from home most days mainly Thursday Friday but I work flexible days! I look after family pets and they fit into mine and our dogs schedules with no issues 🤍 We have a fenced Garden which is big enough for 4 dogs and is cleaned daily! We also live in a new estate so it’s very quiet which means the dogs are never stressed with noise other than themselves 🐶 - if I am in your home I will treat it exactly how you wish and make sure your pet is happy !
About: Taken care of dogs since a young age whether it be family or friends. Experience with small to large dogs. Trained dogs from puppies and older rescue dogs. Boarding mostly weekends as that is when I will have the most time for them and give the dogs the most attention and care they need. I have a yard that isn’t fenced completely but is secure. I live next to Brierley forest so when I walk your dogs they will be socialised well.
About: I’ve had dogs in my life since I was 10 years old, so caring for them comes naturally to me. Over the years, I’ve experienced all stages of a dog’s life — from energetic puppies to gentle senior dogs — and I’ve learned how to adapt my care to meet their changing needs. I have a deep understanding of canine behaviour, routine, and comfort, and I take pride in providing a safe, loving environment where dogs feel relaxed and secure. I’ve cared for senior dogs with mobility issues, medication needs, and age-related health concerns, and I always approach this with patience, attentiveness, and compassion. As a healthcare professional, I’m confident in recognising subtle changes in behaviour or health, which can be especially important for older pets. I treat every dog like a member of the family, and my goal is always to give them the same love and care I give to my own Cockapoo. As a full-time professional during the week, I focus my pet care services around weekends — when I can give your dog my full attention in a calm, relaxed environment. My own Cockapoo is a big part of my daily life, so I’m used to balancing routine, exercise, and affection — and I bring that same level of care to every dog I look after. On weekends, I’m fully available for daytime sitting, walks, and overnight stays, making sure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and well looked after while you’re away or enjoying a break. I also offer occasional evening availability during the week for walks or check-ins, depending on location and my work rota. Whether I’m caring for your dog in my home or visiting them in yours, you can trust that they’ll be treated like one of the family — with a warm, secure environment and lots of tail wags guaranteed. Your dog will be welcomed into a calm, dog-friendly environment where they’re treated like one of the family. My home is clean, secure, and thoughtfully pet-proofed — with no access to hazards, and always supervised playtime. I stick to familiar routines and ensure each dog gets plenty of exercise, rest, and positive attention. I only take in a small number of dogs to ensure each one gets the love and care they deserve, alongside gentle socialisation with my Cockapoo (if appropriate). I can easily crate your dog if required.

“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! ”
“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 😊”

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. ”
“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.”
“Luisa took amazing care of our three cats whilst we were away. One of the cats decided to be ill and Luisa dealt with the whole situation (including vat visits) with aplomb. I wouldn't hesitate to have her look after our three again.”

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!
“Winnie had a great time with Ione and her family. Ione is attentive and experienced and knew exactly how to take care of an excitable pup like Winnie. I got regular updates and plenty of pics and vids. The children and Buddy were also very sweet and loving towards Winnie, and I’m glad she had a big brother for the day. We would gladly have Ione sit Winnie again in the future and definitely recommend her as a sitter!”

I am about to start my masters in vet physio I am currently studying my Master’s degree in Veterinary Physiotherapy on a part-time basis, which gives me excellent weekly flexibility. I am fully available for pet care all weekdays (Monday to Friday) and all day on Sundays.

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 to medium dogs due to having a little chihuahua who finds large 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 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 (45 to 60 minutes) 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 and I have done doggy first aid. 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 days), and my husband works from home sometimes and does short days, so our dogs (and yours) will seldom be left alone, and never for very long. We walk them 2 to 3 times a day in a range of locations to keep it fun! 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.
“Lucy is extremely human and dog friendly ;0) She welcomed our dogs in her home and listened to our dog’s needs. Our dogs were very happy and relaxed with Lucy. We would definitely book Lucy again Thank you x”
“Chloe was a lovely girl and obviously likes dogs. From the photographs it looks as though Tilly had a great time and enjoyed playing with Billy. We will have no hesitation in using Chloe in the future”
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 five years of personal experience caring for my own dog. He is now 9 years old and lives with my mum in Ukraine, but he was part of my everyday life for five years. Caring for him taught me a lot about a dog’s daily routine, walks, feeding, playtime and the importance of patience and attention. I understand that every dog has their own personality and needs, and I always try to make them feel safe, comfortable and happy. Although I’m new to Rover, caring for my own dog has given me genuine hands-on experience with dogs. I would treat every dog in my care with the same patience, kindness and attention that I gave my own. I have a flexible schedule and am available for dog walks and drop-in visits throughout the week. I can usually accommodate morning, afternoon and early evening bookings. I’m happy to discuss specific days and times with each owner and will always make sure I can give each pet the time and attention they need. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable and cared for. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully and take the time to understand their dog’s routine, personality and individual needs. During walks, I keep dogs secure and pay close attention to their surroundings and behaviour. I always use the equipment provided by the owner and follow their instructions regarding leads, treats and other routines. For drop-in visits, I make sure pets have everything they need, including fresh water, food if requested, and plenty of attention and playtime. I treat every pet with patience, kindness and respect, and I will always contact the owner if I have any concerns or notice anything unusual.
“Loco loves spending time with Abigail and her little dog Rosie. He loves playing with Rosie and always comes back shattered. He gets very excited now when we pull up outside to drop him off!”
About: Hi, I’m Aurora! I’ve always adored animals, and those around me often refer to me as the cat or dog whisperer. I can often get animals that are usually shy/anxious to warm up to me pretty well. This may be because I’ve always been around animals and have a shy/timid temperament myself! 🫣 I grew up with 2 labradors, Molly and Maggie, who were my best friends. Since I was old enough to help with their care I have been looking after animals. I had another dog later on before I moved over to the UK (from the US) and I now have 4 cats (They wouldn’t dare let me have a dog now & I wouldn’t have space anyway 😂) I have looked after dogs occasionally for friends and through another app, and I’m very eager to spend some time with more puppers! I’m confident in walking dogs, though I may struggle with large dogs that pull as I’m quite petite. I have experience walking dogs who are dog reactive as well as looking after anxious dogs. Having had up to 8 cats (& owning 6 for many years before the oldest 2 sadly passed away) means I’m somewhat of an expert at feeding times! I’m capable of administering any oral medications required, I have experience of this with both cats & dogs. I can bathe dogs or do other grooming bits (I have long haired cats & I’m able to bathe them 😆😬) and I’m happy to take on any specific requirements you may have for your dog! I’m also happy to look after other animals - and even plants 🌱 I will take notes on your care requirements when we meet and will be sure to look after your pets to the best of my ability and hopefully as close as possible to the way you would care for them 😊 I have a pretty open schedule as I have Cystic Fibrosis so I am on full time disability and therefore can be around 24/7 if required. My health has improved a bit recently so this won’t affect my ability to care for your pets, and I could really do with some dog walking to get me out of the house! I will care for your pets as I would my own. I am happy to stick to any routines or requirements which you may have. I understand being anxious to leave your pets & will provide as many updates as you’d like! (I can sometimes send too many photos, so please communicate your preferences to me 😊)
“Sue was super friendly and accommodating. Fia seemed to enjoy her stay and was in no rush to leave when I collected her, she gave Sue lots of kisses before we left which is definitely a good sign. Will definitely be back!”
About: Dog lady, love dogs! Owner and carer of dogs for 20yrs. Recently studying dog behaviour course and have clients for both dog walking and behaviour therapy. Kisses and cuddles a plenty!! I’m a (young) retired teacher. Retrained as a dog behaviourist. I have two primary age children and need to be around for school pickup and drop off but I’m flexible with the rest of my time. I’m available Monday to Friday I have a fenced garden and two crazy fun pupsters to play with your fur baby if they enjoy play. Or an 11 yr old guy who likes to snooze if that’s what your little one prefers. Alternatively, for dog walking I have a dog mobile that I can pick up and safely collect and return your furry family member. I never walk more than three dogs at a time and by arrangement can walk separately if needed. I’m calm and patient and love my time with four legged friends so, their health and safety is paramount to me at all times 😍

About: What sets me apart is a combination of professional experience and a genuine lifelong love of animals. I’ve been around and owned pets since I was three years old, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. Professionally, I’ve worked within a veterinary practice as well as in an animal kennel environment specialising in the import and export of pets. These roles have given me hands-on experience caring for animals of different ages, breeds, temperaments and individual needs. I’m confident caring for everything from young, energetic pets to older animals who may need a gentler pace and a little extra patience. I’m also comfortable around nervous or unsettled animals and understand the importance of routine, reassurance and recognising changes in behaviour or wellbeing. My experience means I’m confident following detailed feeding, medication and care instructions, while my personal experience means every pet in my care will be treated with the same patience, affection and attention I’d give my own. I am currently available during weekends, I can dedicate time throughout the day to feeding, walking, playing with and caring for pets as needed. I will also gradually be able to offer weekday care from September, working it around my existing commitments and increasing my availability as I settle into a regular routine. This means I can provide reliable, consistent care while making sure each pet gets the time and attention they need. This really depends on the needs of your pet, I am happy to accommodate any and all requirements you request to ensure a safe and comfortable environment for both you and your pet(s)!
About: I’ve always had an interest in animals always looking after rescuing training dogs I have 2 of my own all trained and would love to look after or drop in or walk anyone’s dogs that may need it ! I am currently working but have a flexi rota let me know when you’d like to be booked and we can see what we can do I have a fenced yard and 2 sometimes 3 pups to come your dogs company!

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. I do alot of walking for work so am not opposed to doing longer walks. I work a varying schedule mostly over weekends so will be able to offer short notice care and boarding based off of my work rota We have a reasonably sized fenced off garden away from any major roads, there are numerous country parks in the area that I can reasonably travel to for walks. Dogs are more than welcome on the furniture.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs almost my whole life, I started when I was younger just walking our family dog.Then family and friends would contact me to look after there dog during the day and or taking their dogs on walks I currently work at primary school before and after school clubs so I am available throughout the days during 9am-3pm Monday - Friday. I am also available some weekends but would need to know in advance. I do have my own dog at home and he loves playing in the garden with his ball annd his toys and being walked to the park.
About: I have grown up with animals all my life! Mainly dogs but a lot more smaller animals too🤍 I currently have 2 of my own German shepherds which are my babies and love other doggies being around too. I work from home which means your dog will have a home away from home with us 🫶🏼 I work from home most days mainly Thursday Friday but I work flexible days! I look after family pets and they fit into mine and our dogs schedules with no issues 🤍 We have a fenced Garden which is big enough for 4 dogs and is cleaned daily! We also live in a new estate so it’s very quiet which means the dogs are never stressed with noise other than themselves 🐶 - if I am in your home I will treat it exactly how you wish and make sure your pet is happy !
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

About: I have owned my dog for over two years now, she was adopted from the streets of Greece and we’ve made her a great home here! I am comfortable with every dog as is she I work the classic 9 to 5, so availability would be in the evenings after 6.30 or at anytime Saturday or Sunday! Feel free to get in touch if you want to book in for any weekday after 6.30 as the availability won’t let me be that specific :) I’ve have a completely fenced and gated back garden, with plenty of space for your dog to run around.

About: Hi, I’m Aurora! I’ve always adored animals, and those around me often refer to me as the cat or dog whisperer. I can often get animals that are usually shy/anxious to warm up to me pretty well. This may be because I’ve always been around animals and have a shy/timid temperament myself! 🫣 I grew up with 2 labradors, Molly and Maggie, who were my best friends. Since I was old enough to help with their care I have been looking after animals. I had another dog later on before I moved over to the UK (from the US) and I now have 4 cats (They wouldn’t dare let me have a dog now & I wouldn’t have space anyway 😂) I have looked after dogs occasionally for friends and through another app, and I’m very eager to spend some time with more puppers! I’m confident in walking dogs, though I may struggle with large dogs that pull as I’m quite petite. I have experience walking dogs who are dog reactive as well as looking after anxious dogs. Having had up to 8 cats (& owning 6 for many years before the oldest 2 sadly passed away) means I’m somewhat of an expert at feeding times! I’m capable of administering any oral medications required, I have experience of this with both cats & dogs. I can bathe dogs or do other grooming bits (I have long haired cats & I’m able to bathe them 😆😬) and I’m happy to take on any specific requirements you may have for your dog! I’m also happy to look after other animals - and even plants 🌱 I will take notes on your care requirements when we meet and will be sure to look after your pets to the best of my ability and hopefully as close as possible to the way you would care for them 😊 I have a pretty open schedule as I have Cystic Fibrosis so I am on full time disability and therefore can be around 24/7 if required. My health has improved a bit recently so this won’t affect my ability to care for your pets, and I could really do with some dog walking to get me out of the house! I will care for your pets as I would my own. I am happy to stick to any routines or requirements which you may have. I understand being anxious to leave your pets & will provide as many updates as you’d like! (I can sometimes send too many photos, so please communicate your preferences to me 😊)
“Huge thanks to Ellie & Ben. Couldn't be happier with the way they look after Diego. He looks forward to seeing them & really enjoys his walks. We have no hesitation in recommending them. We also will have no hesitation in using Ellie & Ben for daycare & longer stays if possible. 10 out of 10 all round.”

“Shelby and her partner were really attentive with our Daschund, Minnie. Minnie is a really needy dog and suffers from separation anxiety but settled really well with Shelby:) she was really well looked after whilst we were away for the weekend and could relax knowing Minnie was well cared for. highly recommend Shelby to care for your dogs!”
“Kris and Louis really looked after Otto, we were very happy leaving him with them and Kris sent us lots of photos every day, which was really appreciated! He didn’t get on well with fireworks night but they looked after him and comforted him through it.”

“Lucy was great with our 2 dogs, really went that extra mile. Plenty of pics and messages so I knew they were settled. It was their first visit and nothing was too much trouble. I really recommend Lucy and we will be using her services next time we're away.”
“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!”
“Simone took excellent care of my high energy 13-month-old working line German Shepherd Storm while we were away, Storm has lead reactivity and separation anxiety but Simone handled him perfectly, even when he barked initially Simone handled it with perfect calm confidence and made him feel safe and settled. She took him for plenty of walks and kept him cool in the heat, we came back to a well taken care of comfortable happy puppy, I can’t recommend Simone enough, we will certainly be booking her again in the future! Thank you so much Simone! 😊”
“Chester enjoyed his time with Lone and her young family . I would fully recommend Lone to look after my puppy again in the future. Chester was not stressed or anxious on collection. In fact he was still happy to be there once I came to collect him. Thank you Lone it was a big help today see you soon 😀”
“We have never used a dog sitter/home boarding before, so we were really anxious leaving Willow with someone we didn't know. But from the moment we met Sue, she made us feel completely at ease. We went armed with a list of things to ask because we were so anxious, but she made us feel so assured and comfortable, there was no need. She has a really safe and secure home and garden and is happy to go with whatever needs you and your dog has. We were so happy we have booked again for our family holiday later this year and will happily recommend Sue to anyone.”
“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.”
“This was Tillys first trip away from us and she had the best time. Meg was great at keeping us updated with photos and videos. Would 100% recommend and Tilly will definitely be coming back :)”
“Would highly recommend, my dog came back so happy , first time we have left her with anyone and we got regular updates , they treat your dog as their own I’m really happy with them , thankyou”

“Monty our 6year old golden retriever stayed with Sue for a week. From the first meet and greet it was obvious that Sue was great with dogs. Sue sent us lots of updates and photos which we loved receiving - it was plain to see Monty was very happy throughout his stay and received great care and went on long walks and trips to the park which he loves. I would definitely recommend Sue and will be asking Sue to look after Monty for us again.”
“Becki did a fantastic job looking after Jess who had just started on lots of new medication which Becki managed with ease. We could see from the way Becki interacted with Jess that she clearly loves dogs and that Jess would be well cared for. We felt very reassured leaving Jess and will definitely ask Becki to look after her again.”
“I recommend Laura as the best choice for looking after my labrador Blue. Laura and her partner George looked after her with great care and attention. I felt at ease as I knew Blue would be well cared for, it was like a holiday for my dog! Thankyou”
“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! ☺️”
