“Booked my dog in last minute with Kathryn, was explaining prior to him arriving that he’s a bit of a handful (excitable with lots of energy) and they were lovely people and very accommodating of this! Aswell as this, seems like he had a great time, pub, swimming, walks, being around other dogs, wouldn’t hesitate to book again, just not sure they’d have him! 😂😂”
“Stephanie swooped in to save us when a previous booking fell through just days before our wedding. She not only stepped up and saved us in our hour of need but took care of our boy as if he was her own. He was so well looked after and we got lots of updates including photos. Honestly cant recommend Stephanie enough. Thank you so much.”
“I can safely recommend Ann to look after your dog. Nothing was too much trouble for her, and she sent me photographs every day of how my dog was getting along. She is a lovely woman, and her love of dogs is evident.”
“I could tell that Chester enjoyed his time with them. I trust them completely and it feels like leaving them with family. I trust them and they communicated throughout the day and evening to let me know how Chester was. Already booked in the next weekend with them! Fantastic!”
“I was struggling for dog care as my original dog care had cancelled on me last minute. I contacted jade and she was very quick and efficient on getting Rodney booked in and was happy to rearrange her days to accommodate Rodney for the 4 nights. I was anxious at first leaving Rodney with someone I hadn’t before but Jade was so good and reassuring right from the off and within 5 minutes of introducing Jade to Rodney I felt so reassured. She listened and made a list of everything me and Rodney do and his needs and wants. She sent me so many photos and videos every day and updated me even when I didn’t ask which was amazing so I could go away enjoy myself and knew Rodney was being well cared for. I collected Rodney and he didn’t want to leave when I came to collect him which is a reflection of the amazing care and fuss he had received. It was like Rodney was Jades own dog and she said how she loved having him. Going forward I will be definitely using Jades dog care service again and I’m sure Rodney will be excited at the thought of this as well. Keep up the good work jade from me and my Rods and thank you so much again ❤️!”
“Bella was so happy here and made herself at home very quickly. Definitely recommend, a very chilled and calm environment. Bella stayed for two days and enjoyed her little break away.”
“We couldn’t be any happier how Dudley was very well taken care of and in very safe hands with Hayley. We had constant updates and photos of how Dudley was getting on throughout his weeks stay. Multiple daily walks, lots of love and attention along with plenty of belly rubs ….Dudley had a great time! Would thoroughly recommend Hayley as we fully trust her expertise and service. Our first time and now we feel 100% secure to use again for future visits!”
“We met with Jayne and Brian on a meet and greet so they could get to know our dog Luca prior to him boarding with them. Everything went well and we came away very happy to leave Luca in the safe hands of Jayne. For our mini break away we dropped Luca off with Jayne, where the handover was very smooth and we went through Luca’s usual daily routine. Throughout our time away, Jayne updated us daily with pictures and videos of Luca. Luca had lots of long walks, paddles in the water and playtime. Luca was happy, contented and having lots of fun. I’m very happy with the care that Jayne provided to Luca during our breakaway. I would happily leave Luca with Jayne and Brian again as the care provided was exceptional. Both Jayne and Brian are very friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend Jayne as a pet sitter/carer for your dog as the care and communication is brilliant.”
“John &Teresa, Bailey had a great stay, John and Teresa are very kind and caring looking after Bailey was like being at home. He loved them so much walking and playing with him I would definitely recommend them 5 stars and will book in with them again. Thank you so much for looking after my Bailey Take care Ann & Bailey”
“Fergus had the best stay!! Venetia and Chris were lovely hosts for Fergus, very accommodating and love the company of dogs. Fergus has lovely long walks, played fetch and chilled in front of the fire. Will definitely be using them again in the future!”
“Liga has taken great care of my dog on his first overnight stay. I really appreciated the photos and videos she sent of him having a ball with his new buddies. He’s been treated as one of the family. Thank you Liga!”
“Wish we could give 10 stars! What can we say about Steve and his care of our precious but super lively bundle of fun? From the moment we contacted Steve, he has been great at communication, we had an initial meeting- within seconds we could tell Steve is a man who loves dogs. The outstanding behaviour of his own dog, Laszlo shows he has great knowledge. When Storm stayed with Steve for a week, we had regular, twice daily updates, photos and videos, and could easily tell the our Storm was content and having a great time. Without any doubt at all we will ask Steve to step in again when we are looking for someone to look after our boy, I have total confidence in him and his family, who all welcomed Storm into their home. Thanks, Steve, it has made all the difference going away feeling confident our boy will be having a great holiday too!”
“Sophie has looked after Zelda for us before and we didn't hesitate in asking Sophie to look after her again. Sophie kept us well updated, with lots of great photos, and has cared for Zelda brilliantly - taking her for lots of walks, to a dog park and lots of other great things to do. We wouldn't ask anybody else to care for Zelda now! Thank you.”
“We are so glad to have found Sajna and Hejin as our dog sitter. A’mari literally has a home away from home experience and is given nonstop attention 🤩. Taken on lots of country side walks, and runs until she was exhausted (which takes a lot for the amount of energy A’mari has 🙊). Its the first 2 week holiday we have taken and been completely at ease and relaxed knowing A’mari is having the best time on her own holiday, and is more than well taken care of and treated like family ☺️. We could ask for better dog sitters”
“Great family who made me feel at ease leaving my 2 dogs (one who is still very new and nervous) I got frequent updates while theybwere there. Really happy and would definitely reccommend”

“Kelly was a great communicator with us while we were away. She was very attentive with our two cats. She dealt with a house alarm incident (not of her doing!) calmly and without fuss. Will define using Kelly again.”
“Emily was amazing first time with my cat, she kept me updated and made sure that Roxy was taken good care if whilst I was enjoying my holiday. Would recommend her to anyone, and she was available in the last minute.”
“Would recommend to all fur baby parents. Excellent communication. Loved all the videos and photos made us at ease knowing they were ok. Wilf and Burt will look forward to their next visit.”
“Julie came to our house to feed and exercise Jazz our cockapoo. She came to our home prior to this for meet and greet time with Jazz and ourselves. Julie was punctual, very professional and had a warm, caring, capable manner. We all immediately felt at ease. Her communication throughout was excellent. I would not hesitate to recommend Julie”
“This is my first experience of this service. I contacted Maisie to care for my two cats. She responded promptly to my message and was spot on time for the introductory visit. Maisie asked relevant questions about the boys care and explained that I would receive photos and a message after the visit. I was happy with the care provided and would book Maisie again.”
“Grace is phenomenal, she went above and beyond! Spent more time than we expected with our cat, communicating regularly and effectively with really good photos. Even left us some cute printed photos! Will definitely request Grace's help again. And hope she's available!”
“This was our first time using a cat sitter we were a bit nervous as our babies are only 10 months old and nervous but leanne was great even got them out to take photos and treats it meant we could relax a bit definitely be using the service and leanne again”
“We had a wonderful experience with Nikki, She looked after our two cats while staying in our home, and we couldn’t have asked for more. From the start, she was reliable, communicative, and clearly very comfortable around animals. She kept us updated regularly with messages and photos, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away.”
About: I am experienced in pet sitting dogs and cats and have owned small pets my whole life, including rabbits, hamsters and guinea pigs. I’ve been a volunteer for the local Cats Protection branch for 7 years and I’m particularly good with nervous and anxious cats.
“Our cat is very wary, touching on the neurotic, but Leanne managed to get close to her and she was much more relaxed when we got home than she normally is. For any cat owners I would certainly recommend Leanne”
About: I've been around animals since I can remember, mostly dogs but we've had a few cats as well. I've had 5 dogs in my life and most recently a puppy, so I know how to take care of a puppy such as crate and toilet training, playtime, and however old they are let them experience the outside and other dogs. also sadly the dog that has been around me since I was six past away earlier this year and ever since around last year he deteriorated quickly and had to help him into the garden and only could walk him up the drive way and let him sniff around so I think I have experience with senior dogs as well. I'm currently at Falmouth University studying Film however second year is coming to a close so I'll be free most days to take care of your pets. Currently I am available on most weekdays and weekends at midday and after. As a student my uni house doesn't allow pets but I'm more than happy to come to the owner's house and take care of the dog/s or cat/s while the owner is away, I know many places around Penryn and Falmouth to take them on a lovely walk.
“Ezra seemed so happy with Kate! She sent some lovely photos and he was very settled with her, which is really great as he can sometimes be a bit nervous with new people. I’ve already booked her in again! Thanks!”
About: I recently adopted a cat from greece and I have looked after many cats and house sat for a couple. I have experience with cats from veterinary work experience as well as my own cat and looking after friends cats.
About: I used to run a boarding and walking business with my mum which I really loved but we recently had to close due to her relocating I now do this full time so I am always available and will often never leave the dogs unattended for any amount of time, unless you are happy for the dog to be left alone. I have water bowls and some pet supplies left over from when me and mum were boarding. I have recently moved onto a canal boat, it’s a wide beam with plenty of space and all amenities you’d expect of a house, the grounds in the marina are great for dogs and there are plenty of footpaths and walking routes near by.
“Isla was fantastic! She sent photo updates regularly and our cat was clearly well taken care of whilst we were away! The house was super clean and tidy on our return too! Will absolutely be booking Isla again!”

“Shivani and Shanti were lovely looking after our dog Arlo for couple of hours. Super helpful with sending updates and pictures and were very friendly and accommodating. If we are ever in the area again would definitely leave our pup in their care. Thank you so much for everything! :)”
“Abbie was a fantastic day carer for Joska. I was kept updated throughout the day with news of how Joska was doing and Abbie and her partner kept her entertained and happy rught through her stay. When I arrived to collect her, she didn’t want to leave! We’ll definitely be using Abbie’s service again soon. It was great!”
“Elizabeth and her lovely family looked after biscuit with great care and gave her heaps of attention, they treated her like their own dog and biscuit loved being around the two girls. I was updated with photos and little stories of what they got up to whilst I was away for work and they made us smile as she clearly looked entertained, was having zoomies and playing with the children and getting lots of cuddles and attention. It made us quite jealous :) My husband found the location easy for work to drop her off on the way and made life easier for him knowing she was cared for extremely well. We will be using Elizabeth and her family again! Thank you for what you did for Biscuit, she came home tired and slept all afternoon and hardly moved :)”
“Kasper always has such a lovely time with Kathryn and I love knowing that he’s safe and happy. He always comes back ready for a big sleep but so happy. Thank you again Kathryn, you’re a superstar”
“We were incredibly lucky to find Ivana to look after our dog, Biscuit, while we were enjoying half term with our daughter knowing Biscuit is in good care. We had an initial meeting with Ivana to see how Biscuit reacted to her and her home and what we needed to provide and work out hours etc. Ivans was incredibly attentive to Biscuit’s needs, making sure she got plenty of attention, exercise and rest, followed her feeding schedule perfectly, and even sent us adorable photos throughout the day. Ivana clearly loves dogs and made us feel completely at ease knowing Biscuit was in such great hands. We would highly recommend Ivana to anyone seeking a reliable and caring dog sitter!”
“Hayley & Partner are such nice people and looked after our 10 month old Aluskie and he was treated like there own loads of walks loads of updates with great pictures of his advent thank you much. Wouldn’t hesitate book again .”
“Steven really cares for your dog. He takes time out to get to know them and does what he can to make them feel at home. Laszlo is super friendly too! My dog Sam was very happy to stay with Steven and family.”
About: I have a 9 year old black Labrador who is the family pet and have been helping my mum with doggy day care and dog boarding for over 2 years now. We’ve looked after dogs all shapes and sizes over the years ranging from puppies to mastiffs. The dogs tend to use me for my bed and cuddles! I’m currently looking for a full time remote/hybrid job after travelling for 6 months so will have plenty of time for your pups. I’m available for dog sitting and walking every day of the week at the moment. I’m very used to looking after dogs with different needs in our house and can easily accommodate for your dogs needs in the comfort of their own home.
“Kasper came back from his day with Deborah very happy after a lovely day; I think he’ll sleep well tonight! Would happily recommend Deborah and will definitely book again. Very happy - thank you”
“Bron has tried 3 different daycares and all said he was stressed / panting / crying etc. He absolutely LOVED it at Liga’s house and has had the best day playing with Indy and Marley! Liga kept me updated with photos, videos and texts. Very much looking forward to booking him back in for another day of fun!! 🖤”
About: I love all animals but dogs have a special place in my heart ❤️! I have loads experience looking after animals of all kinds. My Dad was a vet and loved to take advantage of the cheap labour opportunity and had me working at his practice on weekends since I was 12! I have experience caring for and entertaining dogs, but also in administering any medication they may be taking. I have a beagle of my own called Freddie, he is very friendly and loves to have other dogs to play with! I work from home during the week so your dog will not be left for any stretch of time. I live in a house with a decent sized garden that is secure and fenced! Happy for any prospective client to come and check my home to see where their dog will be staying or do a pre-meet/walk if they are worried about how their dog will mix with Freddie. Freddie and I go for a walk daily, usually around the local country park… and we would welcome an addition 😊 Living alone and having a dog means I often find myself having to find someone trustworthy to look after my boy. It is never easy to find someone readily available and at a reasonable price. That is what has motivated me to offer my services at a low price. I know how stressful it can be to organise pet care and would love to be able to ease that stress for others so we can all just look forward to a break away 🙂 I work from home. It is a full working day but I am happy to have the dogs in the office with me and do find time to engage and play with my own dog during the day. They do also have the freedom to roam around the house, snooze, or play in the garden. Attached house so no side gates. Garden is fenced and fences are secure and high. If I need to travel with your dog I have safety clips in my car. I also live down a longish driveway so there is no main road immediately nearby. I work from home so I have plenty of opportunity to play with the dogs during the day. Having a dog myself means my routine is relatively unaffected, we just have another dog along with us. I have a fenced garden. Can crate your dog if you bring the crate along with you. Dogs are fed separately. I have spare dog bowls and beds.
“Contacted Nick about a short daycare for my energetic young dog. Nick was one of the fastest responders to messages I've come across here. After the initial meet and greet in which we discussed all expectations, Uist has returned after a trial daycare day, exhausted but very happy. Nick understood Uist's needs and made sure he had plenty of walks and play. On the pickup, I was quite delayed by traffic but Nick was very understanding. Can highly recommend and will use again”
“Thank you so much for taking care of Mika today, she's very much looking forward to her next visit with you. Lynne was fantastic throughout the entire process, Mika is my absolute world and I get very anxious about leaving her. We had a successful meet and greet, I was able to read her previous reviews and her home was in a familiar area to us so this all helped. It's been a very hot day today and Lynne was happy to take Mika on an early walk before it got too warm, Mika has very much enjoyed the air conditioning!! Lynne sent photos and kept me updated during the day. Thank you again!”
“Jade has looked after my dog before and she always leaves so happy and very tired out. Really great communication and pick up/drop off are super easy. Would 100% recommend and will use again!”
“Laura was absolutely fantastic. Treated Nala to a lovely day of walks and an all round pleasant day, keeping me informed throughout. Would 100% recommend Laura to anyone in the Nottingham area if they need someone to look after their dog. Thanks Laura!”
“Leaving a four-legged much loved family member in a strange environment is quite daunting, however leaving Bella with the wonderful Victoria was just perfect! It’s difficult to find the words express my gratitude and thanks for Victoria’s amazingly wonderful Pup sitting, Bella had a wonderful time and came home wagging her tail, happy and excited! I was kept up-to-date with pictures and a video and a log of walks!! I will use Victoria on a regular basis to look after Bella as I know Bella is in excellent hands!”
About: Since moving out, I’ve really missed having my family dog around, so I love any opportunity to spend time with a new furry friend! Whether it’s walks, playtime, training, or plenty of cuddles, I’m always happy to give dogs the attention and care they deserve. I work from home most weekdays, which means your dog will have lots of company, supervision, and flexibility in their routine throughout the day. I grew up with dogs and have always been very comfortable understanding their different personalities, needs, and behaviours. I’ve looked after a wide range of breeds and sizes, from small dogs to very large breeds. At the moment I regularly care for a Cockapoo, a Staffordshire Bull Terrier, and even a Great Dane, so I’m confident handling dogs with very different temperaments and energy levels. I’m patient with puppies and young dogs who are still learning, and I’m happy to reinforce basic training, routines, and good habits. I’m also attentive and gentle with senior dogs who may need a slower pace, extra care, or medication. Above all, I’m responsible, calm, and genuinely love being around dogs. I’ll always treat your dog like they’re part of the family and make sure they feel safe, happy, and well looked after. My home feels far too quiet without a dog around! I currently work from home in a flexible role, allowing me to provide care and attention to pets during weekdays. I can schedule walks/playtime/drop ins during breaks and lunch. I am also available in evenings and at weekends. I provide safety for pets in their own homes by ensuring i have a clear understand of the pets needs and the owner’s instructions. I engage with the pet to build trust and strengthen my bond with them.
“Absolutely amazing, frankie loved going to doggy day care with Demi and her family. We are so lucky to of gained such a lovely family to have our little fur baby - hopefully be back with them all next year with our newest addition to the family too ❤️❤️❤️”
“Aurora had the best day with Leah! She settled in right away and felt completely at home. Leah kept me updated with lovely photos and videos throughout the day - it was such a joy to see Aurora so happy and relaxed. I couldn’t recommend Leah more highly, and we can’t wait to book with her again soon! 😊”

“Susan is very experienced with dogs and handles my 3...one is very reactive...with ease. Susan is very caring, honest and trustworthy and I have no hesitancy recommending her services.”
About: Life long owner/ carer of dogs, all shapes sizes and breeds from loving Labs to terrific terriers, I provide kind care for them all! 😊 I work part-time, when I'm not at work I'm walking my own dogs usually up to 3 times a day so can easily take yours too!

“Eleanor was fantastic! Super lovely and clearly very good with dogs. Marley loved her straight away and is happy and tired after his 2 walks with her. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Eleanor again!”
About: I’ve had dogs all my life, primarily adopted. From Collies to German Shepherds and Jack Russell’s. I’ve cared for them all from young until old. I also have experience with reptiles and small mammals. I have a lot of time on my hands at the moment and would love to be able to care for your pets. I love going on long walks, particularly places like Outwoods or Watermead. I have a car so I’m happy to come to you or take your dog out somewhere nice. I work from home, with my work schedule being quite flexible to my needs. As such I can tailor my day around different priorities, like pet care. I would be attentive, making sure they know I’m receptive to their needs, whether that’s letting them out in the garden regularly or feeding them. Playing with their toys and interacting regularly.
“Joss was great! He was good at being in touch and seemed to look after Percy really well. It was a huge help having him look after our pup whilst we were away sailing - thank you!”
About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life. I had a Weimaraner from the age of 8 until he sadly passed away 11 years later. A year later, we rescued my little girl, Peggy, from Romania after she was found abandoned in heartbreaking circumstances. She’s now been part of our family for over two years. Peggy was sadly involved in a hit-and-run road traffic accident earlier this year, which was an incredibly difficult time for both her and my family. I was by her side throughout her recovery, giving her the patience, support and care she needed to regain her confidence and get back on her feet. I’ve also looked after my uncle’s Black Labrador, my brother’s English Bulldog, a family friend’s Vizsla and many other dogs of different breeds, sizes and personalities. I’m always the person who ends up on the floor playing with the dogs at family gatherings! I’m patient, caring and reliable, and I understand that every dog is different. Whether they love long walks, playing fetch or simply having someone to curl up beside, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy and loved while you’re out or away. Although I’m new to Rover, I’m certainly not new to caring for dogs. I’ll care for your pet just as I would my own, and I’ll always keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you know they’re happy and in safe hands. 🐾❤️ I run my own beauty business from home, which gives me a flexible schedule to provide reliable pet care throughout the week. I always keep my availability up to date and will only accept bookings that I know I can fully commit to. Whether it’s dog walking, drop-in visits or house sitting, I’ll make sure your pet receives plenty of care, attention and companionship while you’re away. I’ll always take the time to get to know your pet and ensure they feel happy, comfortable and well looked after. I understand that every pet has their own routine, and I always aim to keep things as familiar and stress-free as possible while you’re away. I’ll carefully follow your instructions, whether that’s feeding times, walks, medication or bedtime routines, to make sure your pet feels comfortable and secure. I’ll treat both your home and your pet with the utmost care and respect, and I’ll keep you updated with regular photos and messages so you can have complete peace of mind knowing they’re in safe hands.
About: I am currently studying veterinary, so have undertaken many hours of work experience where I have looked after many dogs in a professional environment. I also have a dog with anxiety so understand the needs of this. During the week I have lectures periodically however can still provide services such as dog walking and drop in sessions. Over weekends I have no other commitments such as a job so can provide many walks and sufficient care for your pet(s). I am flexible to how the dog is behaved as I understand some dogs have different needs to others- I am confident to crate a dog and walk dogs on a leash.
About: I have experience with dogs through my business Dig&Dog, by helping out family and friends, and through voluntary work abroad. I have taken care of lots of different breeds, sizes and ages and therefore can cater to any needs! I have my own business offering a variety of pet services including house sitting, dog walking & drop in visits. I often house sit overnight and work in the garden in the day, but often have availability for dog walks/drop-ins, especially in the autumn/winter. I have grown up with two cats and surrounded by the dogs and cats of family/friends, meaning I am very comfortable pet sitting and have lots of experience, which creates a relaxed atmosphere for pets to feel safe and most importantly happy!
About: I used to run a boarding and walking business with my mum which I really loved but we recently had to close due to her relocating I now do this full time so I am always available and will often never leave the dogs unattended for any amount of time, unless you are happy for the dog to be left alone. I have water bowls and some pet supplies left over from when me and mum were boarding. I have recently moved onto a canal boat, it’s a wide beam with plenty of space and all amenities you’d expect of a house, the grounds in the marina are great for dogs and there are plenty of footpaths and walking routes near by.
About: I have experience caring for dogs both in my own home and in their owners’ homes. While on a gap year in Melbourne, Australia, I looked after dogs in my home while their owners were away, ensuring they felt safe, comfortable, and well cared for. More recently, I regularly care for a Cockapoo in the owner’s home while they are away, maintaining their usual routine and providing plenty of attention, walks, and companionship. I also have a lovely 10-year-old Sproodle at my family home, who I have helped care for since she was a puppy. She has given me valuable experience with the day-to-day responsibilities of owning a dog, from walks and playtime to feeding and providing lots of affection. She is very friendly and gets on well with dogs of a similar size. I genuinely enjoy spending time outdoors and love going for walks, so taking dogs out for exercise is something I look forward to rather than seeing as a chore. My aim is always to make every dog feel happy, comfortable, and cared for while giving owners complete peace of mind. I also have had cats ever since I was born so I am used to caring for them, including feeding, litter care, and providing affection. Further experience comes from my job. I work in home care, where tasks regularly involve caring for our customers’ pets, particularly cats and dogs. I am a Nursing student, however I am on break until October so work part time in home care. My hours are flexible so I can fit in visits around pet care, depending on how long they can be left alone and how much attention they require. I always aim to make pets feel as comfortable and relaxed as possible by keeping to their usual routine. Before any booking, I like to learn about their feeding schedule, walking routine, favourite toys, any medications, and anything else that helps them feel at home. In my own home, I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment where dogs receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and cuddles. I never leave dogs alone for long periods and make sure they have fresh water, regular toilet breaks, and lots of company throughout the day. When caring for pets in their own home, I respect both the pet’s routine and the owner’s home. I follow all instructions carefully, keep the home tidy, and make sure pets receive the same level of care and attention they’re used to. I know how important it is for owners to feel reassured while they’re away, so I’m always happy to send regular updates and photos so you can see how your pet is getting on.
About: I’ve worked with dogs for over 8 years now, in a variety of different roles including a dog handler, kennel assistant and dog walker. I own 2 dogs myself, a ridgeback/rottweiler and a Labrador retriever. I’ve also worked with various dogs of all sorts of different sizes and backgrounds and believe all dogs deserve the same love and attention. As I currently work from 4:30 to 1:30 in my main job, I’ll be able to walk your dogs during the afternoon. I will offer a meet and greet initially before walking your dog, so you can get to know me a little bit and build some trust between you and me and also your dog.
About: I’ve had around 13 years of experience caring for pets and have always been passionate about animals. Friends, neighbours and family regularly rely on me to look after their dogs, feeding, playtime and general care. I’m patient, reliable and always make sure pets feel comfortable, safe and well looked after. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine and I have a flexible schedule which allows me to give pets the time and attention they need. I’m available feeding, playtime and check-ins throughout the day, and I always make sure pets stick to their usual routine so they feel comfortable and relaxed. I always make sure pets are safe, comfortable and well looked after at all times. I carefully follow any instructions given by the owner regarding feeding, exercise and routines. I’m very attentive to pets’ behaviour and needs, and I always make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime and care while their owners are away.
“Sarah looked after our pooch, Milo for 2 weeks whilst we were away She updated us daily and sent photos to keep us in the loop and reassured. Could not of asked more. Would 100% recommend”
About: I'm a dedicated animal lover who treats every pet as if they were my own. I take the time to understand each pet's individual personality and routine so they feel safe, happy, and comfortable while you're away. I'm patient with nervous pets, attentive to senior animals, and happy to care for energetic puppies and kittens. Whether it's playtime, walks, feeding, medication (if needed), or plenty of cuddles, I always provide reliable, loving care and keep owners updated with regular photos and messages for peace of mind. My work is very flexible and work from home for bits which gives me plenty of time to take care of your pets when they need walking, giving them attention and playing with them, letting them out for potty and feeding them. I listen to what you do in your home and respect those boundaries that are set up example pets not allowed on furniture I will respect those rules.
About: *Available for last-minute bookings and regular weekday drop-ins* I’m really tuned into animals, so I focus on making them feel safe, calm and loved—not just “looked after.” I’ve got a 14-year-old dog, so I’m confident with senior care, slower walks and meds, and a young cat… so I’m very familiar with being politely ignored until food is involved 😄 I’ve got experience with puppies right through to seniors, and with both small and large dogs, so I’m comfortable adapting to different needs, energy levels and personalities. I’m gentle, reliable and stick closely to your pet’s routine, with plenty of updates so you know your floof is happy and settled. I’m available weekdays between school drop-off and pick-up, and I plan my day around that time so pets get consistent care and attention rather than being rushed. I keep my schedule manageable so I can be fully present, and I’m happy to arrange weekends on request where possible, though availability may vary slightly as I have a 4-year-old son. I always follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible so they feel safe and settled, whether that’s in your home or out on walks. I take the time to understand their needs, personality and any specific instructions, including feeding, walks, medication and behaviour. I keep everything calm, secure and predictable, making sure doors, gates and spaces are safe at all times. I’m attentive to any changes in behaviour and adjust my approach to suit them, and I’ll keep you updated regularly so you can feel confident they’re happy and well cared for.
About: We're a dog loving family with over 10 years of experience caring for dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to gentle senior companions. We also have a friendly, well behaved dog of our own, so understand how important it is to find someone you trust. Your dogs safety and wellbeing are our top priorities. We provide a secure and loving home environment where your pooch will recieve plenty of attention and care throughout the day - especially as my husband and I both work from home, so they are never left alone. We understand that every dog is unique, and we will make sure to follow their routine, preferences and any specific needs to ensure they feel comfortable and happy while in our care. Me and my husband both work from home with flexible working hours so are able to provide plenty of cuddles and play time for your fur baby. We will treat the dog however you do at home and can provide as much potty breaks and walks as required. We have a 2 year old labradoodle called Nala who is very spoilt doggo, she can be excited when first meeting another dog but calms down after a short period. It's important to us that the dogs get along so would prefer to have a meet and greet for boarding and day care.
About: I am currently studying at university to become a Veterinary Surgeon so have lots of experience in handling and caring for animals. In particular I have lots of experience with dogs and have worked at a puppy/dog behaviour training centre for 2 years. I have lots of flexibility in the times I am free and able to care for your pets, so feel free to message me about availability. I will make sure that your pet is able to follow its normal routine and I will provide lots of attention/enrichment to keep them busy and happy. As the owner of anxious dogs myself, I understand the importance of reading behaviour and making sure that pets are comfortable and happy. I am confident in basic animal first aid training from my time at university and will ensure your pet is looked after just as you would treat it yourself (with lots of love and cuddles!!).

“Booked my dog in last minute with Kathryn, was explaining prior to him arriving that he’s a bit of a handful (excitable with lots of energy) and they were lovely people and very accommodating of this! Aswell as this, seems like he had a great time, pub, swimming, walks, being around other dogs, wouldn’t hesitate to book again, just not sure they’d have him! 😂😂”
“Stephanie swooped in to save us when a previous booking fell through just days before our wedding. She not only stepped up and saved us in our hour of need but took care of our boy as if he was her own. He was so well looked after and we got lots of updates including photos. Honestly cant recommend Stephanie enough. Thank you so much.”
“I could tell that Chester enjoyed his time with them. I trust them completely and it feels like leaving them with family. I trust them and they communicated throughout the day and evening to let me know how Chester was. Already booked in the next weekend with them! Fantastic!”
“I was struggling for dog care as my original dog care had cancelled on me last minute. I contacted jade and she was very quick and efficient on getting Rodney booked in and was happy to rearrange her days to accommodate Rodney for the 4 nights. I was anxious at first leaving Rodney with someone I hadn’t before but Jade was so good and reassuring right from the off and within 5 minutes of introducing Jade to Rodney I felt so reassured. She listened and made a list of everything me and Rodney do and his needs and wants. She sent me so many photos and videos every day and updated me even when I didn’t ask which was amazing so I could go away enjoy myself and knew Rodney was being well cared for. I collected Rodney and he didn’t want to leave when I came to collect him which is a reflection of the amazing care and fuss he had received. It was like Rodney was Jades own dog and she said how she loved having him. Going forward I will be definitely using Jades dog care service again and I’m sure Rodney will be excited at the thought of this as well. Keep up the good work jade from me and my Rods and thank you so much again ❤️!”
“Bella was so happy here and made herself at home very quickly. Definitely recommend, a very chilled and calm environment. Bella stayed for two days and enjoyed her little break away.”
“We met with Jayne and Brian on a meet and greet so they could get to know our dog Luca prior to him boarding with them. Everything went well and we came away very happy to leave Luca in the safe hands of Jayne. For our mini break away we dropped Luca off with Jayne, where the handover was very smooth and we went through Luca’s usual daily routine. Throughout our time away, Jayne updated us daily with pictures and videos of Luca. Luca had lots of long walks, paddles in the water and playtime. Luca was happy, contented and having lots of fun. I’m very happy with the care that Jayne provided to Luca during our breakaway. I would happily leave Luca with Jayne and Brian again as the care provided was exceptional. Both Jayne and Brian are very friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend Jayne as a pet sitter/carer for your dog as the care and communication is brilliant.”
“Fergus had the best stay!! Venetia and Chris were lovely hosts for Fergus, very accommodating and love the company of dogs. Fergus has lovely long walks, played fetch and chilled in front of the fire. Will definitely be using them again in the future!”
“Liga has taken great care of my dog on his first overnight stay. I really appreciated the photos and videos she sent of him having a ball with his new buddies. He’s been treated as one of the family. Thank you Liga!”
“Wish we could give 10 stars! What can we say about Steve and his care of our precious but super lively bundle of fun? From the moment we contacted Steve, he has been great at communication, we had an initial meeting- within seconds we could tell Steve is a man who loves dogs. The outstanding behaviour of his own dog, Laszlo shows he has great knowledge. When Storm stayed with Steve for a week, we had regular, twice daily updates, photos and videos, and could easily tell the our Storm was content and having a great time. Without any doubt at all we will ask Steve to step in again when we are looking for someone to look after our boy, I have total confidence in him and his family, who all welcomed Storm into their home. Thanks, Steve, it has made all the difference going away feeling confident our boy will be having a great holiday too!”
“We are so glad to have found Sajna and Hejin as our dog sitter. A’mari literally has a home away from home experience and is given nonstop attention 🤩. Taken on lots of country side walks, and runs until she was exhausted (which takes a lot for the amount of energy A’mari has 🙊). Its the first 2 week holiday we have taken and been completely at ease and relaxed knowing A’mari is having the best time on her own holiday, and is more than well taken care of and treated like family ☺️. We could ask for better dog sitters”
“Bethany was absolutely brilliant with my very needy dog . Nothing was any trouble and bethany went over and above to reassure me with constant pictures and updates throughout his stay. Would highly recommend bethany. Very warm , caring and trustworthy”
About: I have a 9 year old black Labrador who is the family pet and have been helping my mum with doggy day care and dog boarding for over 2 years now. We’ve looked after dogs all shapes and sizes over the years ranging from puppies to mastiffs. The dogs tend to use me for my bed and cuddles! I’m currently looking for a full time remote/hybrid job after travelling for 6 months so will have plenty of time for your pups. I’m available for dog sitting and walking every day of the week at the moment. I’m very used to looking after dogs with different needs in our house and can easily accommodate for your dogs needs in the comfort of their own home.
“Cordelia was amazing as always, she’s our favourite sitter and Thor’s too! Such a lovely girl and you can see how much she cares for animals - she treats Thor as her own and he can’t wait to come back next week for another visit🥰”
“This was the first time using Abbie and I would 100% use her in future. Rupert had an absolutely wonderful time with Abbie and her husband! We received frequent updates and it was clear that he became one of the family even though he was only there for a day. Thank you so much, Rupert misses you both!”
“Polly and her family took care of Luna our big Rottweiler for a week. Polly kept us regularly updated with photos of Luna and how she was doing. Polly is a superb dog sitter and I would 100% use her again. Thank you! X”
“Grace is fantastic. We met up prior to leaving our dog and even booked a day visit to make sure he would settle. Grace is very accommodating and provides a fantastic service. Thankyou Grace and see you again soon!”
