“It was my first time using the app and I couldn’t be happier. I had lots of updates and was able to relax and felt they were really having the best time. Elizabeth and family welcomed my goblins and were perfect.”
“Piggle had an amazing stay at Kates, lots of updates , plenty of exercise and lots of love. She is an brilliant homeboarder , with lots of experience and I will book again. Thank you so much for all your help”
“Amba had a fab first stay with Courtney and Chris. She was very well looked after and communication was great with updates and pics shared too. Narla and Bonnie are lovely and friendly cockapoos and Amba got on well with both of them. Thanks so much for looking after my Amba :)”
“Liga provided the perfect home for our dog, Jack, while we were away for 2 days. He has very specific dietary needs and she was meticulous following them even with other dogs to care for as well. Her communication was stellar and Jack had an amazing time. Would absolutely recommend her as a dog sitter/boarding.”
“I do not have to words to explain how fantastic Ivana, Andrew and Michela are, they are just such a wonderful, loving and caring family who looked after our 2 year old work cocking Marley for 4days/3 nights. From the initial meet and greet I was completely put at ease and knew I had found the perfect family to look after our fur baby. They treated Marley like part of the family and gave him lots of snuggles and fuss. Ivana’s communication was excellence and she regularly sent me messages, photos and videos each day. Marley had a fantastic little break and loved his stay. I am already planning for Marley’s next stay with Ivana and her family and plan to repeatable book with her, I feel so thankful to have found her on Rover.”
“Steven and his family are absolutely love sitters. They really helped us out very last minute and bean had the best time at their house. I'll definitely be using them again when we are in town. Lots of updates and pics too!”
“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.”
“Well thankyou to Jade for looking after Wilson for a long stretch. Jade administered tablets to Wilson at my request and provided much love and care for my special boy. I cannot recommend Jade enough , such a caring dog lover.”
“I genuinely can’t recommend Heather more highly. From our initial meet & greet to their stay, Heather has been fantastic in giving us updates, lots of pictures & videos of them playing. Pickle can be a little difficult, Heather took the time to get to know his quirks & I really felt like she understood him. My initial nervousness soon faded & really wouldn’t want our boys going anywhere else. Thanks so much to Heather & her family for looking after them like they were their own.”
About: I’ve had pets since I was born. I was raised with 5 dogs at home, from puppies to elderly I enjoyed training, feeding and playing with them. As a teenager I’d help my friends by going to their houses to take care of their dogs and cats and take them for walks. I’m a volunteer in a woodland forest rescuing animals and creating new habitats for them, which improves my understanding of their behaviours and needs. I don’t do boarding for pets from different households at the same time so they can feel more comfortable while away from home. If your pet has any allergies, special needs, medications or a specific routine please let me know during the booking. I’m currently back home during summer break from university so if there isn’t any plans I’m free the whole week 24/7. I got a flexible schedule to be able to adjust for shifts needed I’ve got a house with a closed and fenced garden with play and have a good time. I don’t have any pets at home but I’m free the whole time to stay with your pet.
“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.”
About: Our family has always had a furry friend by our sides - we know how important it is to spoil and love our four-legged friends. Friends and family have relied on us to nurture their pets and go on adventures with woody. I am a first year PhD student at Loughborough University. My sister (Shanti) is a final year PhD student at Loughborough, and works every Friday in-person at a private school. Our working arrangements ensure there is always someone at home. Please see our calendar for our availability for looking after and playing with your pup 🐶. As Woody is small, our spacious back garden is completely secure with no escape routes! We have multiple dog beds full of exciting toys (for various seasons and celebrations) in almost every room of the house! Woody usually sleeps on someone’s bed, or wherever takes her fancy. Pups are allowed everywhere in our home including furniture and upstairs 🐕.
“Winnie and her human (Fozia) did a fantastic job of looking after Ruby (my dog) all day and overnight. Fozia was so kind and thoughtful towards both Ruby and myself. She kept in touch amazingly well, was super sensible and asked thoughtful and relevant questions. I felt very relaxed knowing Ruby was with Winnie and Fozia. Thank you so much - we will be booking again!”
“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!”
“We had a great experience with Maria taking care of our potato, Rupert. She was responsible, communicative, and very loving toward him. It was clear that Rupert felt comfortable and happy with her. Maria gave us great peace of mind while we were away, and we would absolutely trust her again in the future.”
“I can’t recommend Dipali and her husband enough! They were absolute lifesavers when our original dog sitter canceled on us last minute, just before our holiday to Morocco. Despite never having met us or Pablo before, they kindly agreed to take him in without a meet-and-greet, and at such short notice. From the moment my brother dropped Pablo off on Friday evening until we picked him up on Tuesday, Dipali and her husband provided the most loving and attentive care. They kept me updated with regular photos and messages, which gave me total peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that Pablo felt completely at home—he was so happy and comfortable that he’s actually crying the front door wanting to go back! Dipali and her husband truly have a passion for dogs, and their kindness and dedication shine through in the way they care for them. I’m beyond grateful for their help and will definitely be booking with them again. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Pablo!xx”
“Rebecca was very caring with Angie and listened to all my care instructions for her. I was sent photos throughout the entire stay to keep me updated, Angie looked very comfortable in Rebecca's home. Will use her services again in the future.”
“Tereza was a brilliant host for our dog Rossi. She is super-calm and immediately won over Rossi. She was great with communications and sent loads of photos. 100% recommended!”
About: Animals have been my world since I was young, from growing up alongside my grandparents’ dog to caring for my own for 14 beautiful years from age 10. I’ve really come to see them as family — full of love, loyalty, and little moments that make every day better. Growing up in a very animal-loving household taught me patience, responsibility, and how to adapt to different personalities and needs. Whether I’m looking after puppies full of energy or helping senior pets feel safe and comfortable, I treat every pet with the same love and attention I give my own❤️ I work for myself from home, so I have plenty of flexibility and free time throughout the day. That means I can give your pet lots of attention, playtime, and care — whether it’s cuddles, company, or keeping them entertained. My schedule makes it easy to fit around your pet’s routine and make sure they feel happy and looked after! I live in a house with a fenced garden and plenty of space for pets to play and relax. With no other pets in the home, it’s a calm, comfortable environment where your furry friend can feel safe and cared for.

“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.”
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.
“Eleanor looked after my cats amazingly. They absolutely adore her, and the proof was all the pictures she sent me daily. She fed them and cleaned their mess. I felt safe leaving my house keys with her. I will definitely book with her again. Amazing cat sitter!”
About: I’ve had my cat Gio since she was a kitten, so I’m confident with early care, feeding routines, litter training and play. I’m used to reading body language and understanding signals, so I know when a cat wants interaction and when they’d rather have space. I’m comfortable with a range of personalities and always stick to their routine to help them feel calm, safe and settled.
“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”
“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.”
“From the moment we met Donna we knew our cats would be safe and happy being taken care of by her whilst we were away. She sent photos and kept us updated every time she visited and we came home to 3 very calm contented cats. We can’t thank Donna enough and highly recommend her services.”
“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”
About: I’ve had and taken care of cats for many years, both in my own home and there owners If your looking for a loving and caring sitter for your cat or kitten you’ve found the right person 💕
About: I have looked after pets for roughly 15 years, from cats and dogs of all sizes. Also experienced with smaller exotic pets including hedgehogs and hamsters. Experience with puppy training both my own and family pets, be this with basic commands, toilet training, learning to walk to heel or recall. Further experience with elderly dogs through my own. Able to accommodate any requirements. Our team are 2 adults, one works from home full time, the other onshift ususally nights. Available all hours to accommodate any animal requirements from people who love to be around them. Able to work around the owners schedule to fit whatever they need. Most important thing is making sure the pets we look after are safe and comfortable. Animals wouldn't be left unattended as we know what they can get up to when a back is turned. Any details or instructions provided by the owner will be strictly followed as making sure their pets are as safe and comfortable as possible is our number one priority.
About: I’ve had experience with cats my whole life; both senior cats and kittens and I am aware of their different needs. I have a quiet and calm demeanour which is reassuring for the cats. I have experience with feeding, changing water, cleaning litter, brushing, and providing excellent play time!
“Dipali showed respect for all my requirements, and gave me regular updates (including photos) of how my pet (a cat) was doing. It was clear when she visited, and from the photos, that my often nervous pet felt relaxed around her, and she was calm and happy to engage with them. She didn't hesitate to raise a minor issue with me when she encountered it, and on return everything seemed to be in order. She contacted me in a timely fashion to arrange return of my keys. I would not hesitate to use her services again in future.”
About: I am a postgraduate student at Loughborough University and studied Animal Science as my undergraduate degree. I adore animals and have handling experience from mice to cows including reptiles and have a pet snake of my own. I understand that me having a snake might cause a bit of concern, but I can assure you she is harmless and will stay in her enclosure the entirety of the time that I care for your pet. I haven’t had dogs of my own but I have met and handled all sort of different personalities through friends and those of which have had experience with using Rover and will pay great attention to what your pet wants and needs. I will provide updates of your pets time with me.
“2nd booking with Roya! I'm so happy that Roya was able to take the time to patiently wait for my very shy cat to come out to socialise (and to pose for photos!), I really appreciate it. Thanks Roya!”

“Kathryn was absolutely amazing with Barney, taking him on interesting off lead walks. She was reliable and also very accommodating when I had to stay at work for a meeting one day. I would definitely recommend Kathryn to anyone needing doggy daycare. Thanks Kathryn x”

“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! :)”
“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”
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.
“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! 😊”
“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 :)”
“Irma seemed completely content to stay with Liga and was reluctant to leave when we went to collect her. She enjoyed playing in the garden and snoozing on the sofa - home from home! Thanks for looking after her.”
About: BETSIES BUDDIES canine care 🐾 Caring for your dog when you can’t 🐾 BOARDING. WALKING.DAYCARE. DROP-INS I have owned and taken care of pets for many years, from horses to dogs, rabbits to ducks. I love animals (more than people 🤭) and would make any animal feel as welcome in my home as they are in yours. 5* home from home care. I am at home all day and evening, with only the school run as a daily commitment, so your pet would never be left alone for longer than 45mins at a time. Walks are included with boarding and day care. I live in a house with a fenced off secure garden, I live closely to fields for walking and a local country park for dogs that are happy to travel a short distance in the car. I have a miniature dachshund, Rufus who is all up to date on vaccinations, flea, wormer and kennel cough. He is great with all other animals including dogs of all sizes, cats and rabbits (cats cared for on drop-ins only) I also have two small cats. I can crate your pets, if crate is provided. Your pets will be treated in my home the same way they would be treated in yours. My pets my babies so I do allow them on all furniture and allow them run of house and garden. All pets MUST be safe around my children (15,14 &4) aswell as my own fur babies.
About: My work experience is varied from small to large animals on farms, veterinary surgery livery yards and private houses, of all sizes. Loved by all I currently have no responsibility’s other than taking on other peoples pets to care for in their own home environment. There are no limits to distance or days I am free to stay as long or as short a time is required I have looked after animals in lots of various settings including very grand houses with lots of land and various types at any one time. Very confident in all environments
“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!”
“I can't recommend Maria enough. Cebru loved his stay. For an anxious boy who's nervous around other people, he seemed to love it. He was well looked after and I got updates throughout the day. He came back one happy boy.”
About: Hi, people call me Remmy! 😊 I have been around dogs and family pets for a long time and have a deep love for all animals. I also own a daschund who is anxious so I understand patience and how to care for smaller dogs. I currently work full time from home on the weekdays, so your dog will have plenty of attention from me! I do not work weekends so fully flexible. I have a fenced garden and live close to fields for dog walks. Winnie loves being around other dogs but she is initally reactive due to her nature (sausage dog problems 😂), it would be great to meet beforehand to get the dogs to meet. I am happy to meet free of charge to see how they get on, I think it's important that you feel your dog is in safe hands before leaving with me.
About: I have been around animals since childhood. My family has a dog called Miki who is now 13 years old. I also have two cats of my own: Vivi, who is 3 years old, and Milka, who is 16. I rescued Milka and took care of her for 2 years before she stayed with my family in Ukraine. Growing up, I also cared for a parrot, a rat, and two guinea pigs. I truly love dogs and enjoy spending time with them. I trained our family dog basic commands such as sit, lie down, stay close, give paw, voice, and roll over. I am patient, caring, and treat every pet as if it were my own. I’m currently not working, so I have plenty of time and flexibility for pet care. I recently moved to England and can fully focus on your cat’s routine, comfort, and daily needs. I live in a calm home with no pets at the moment, which suits many animals. I carefully follow all instructions and make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for.
“Great sitter! Keep us well informed and updated on my dogs day stay. Was really flexible with timings too. Really happy and felt comfortable leaving my dog with Krishna for the day. He returned home completely shattered so clearly had a great day of play ??”
About: Animals have held a special place in my heart since childhood. As a teenager, I volunteered at a shelter, walking dogs, cleaning their spaces, and simply being there for them when they needed it most. Those experiences taught me empathy, responsibility, and a deep understanding of dogs’ needs. For 17 years, I shared my life with a wonderful dog who was not just a pet, but my best friend and a true member of the family. Losing her was incredibly difficult, but it also reminded me how meaningful and powerful the bond between humans and animals can be. Today, together with my family, I share my home with our dog Sky, who fills our lives with love, joy, and warmth. She is my everyday companion and makes each day brighter. Two years ago, I had the beautiful experience of helping her bring eight puppies into the world. I cared for her and the puppies around the clock, ensuring they were safe, healthy, and loved. It was truly a special and unforgettable time, and I’m happy to say that all the puppies found caring homes—and we still keep in touch with their families. I truly love spending time with animals and enjoy long walks, especially at sunset. I treat every dog with the same care, attention, and affection as if they were my own.🫶 am currently not working, which means I have plenty of time to give your pets the attention, care, and playtime they deserve. I’m available throughout the day and can easily adapt to your pet’s routine. I also offer overnight stays 7 days a week, ensuring your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for at all times. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a large, secure garden where your pet can safely play, explore, and relax. They’ll also enjoy daily playtime with my dog, Sky, who is gentle, well-socialized, and very friendly with both people and other animals. She’s a wonderful companion and loves having new friends around. At the same time, I understand that some pets may need their own space, so my home offers a calm and comfortable environment where your pet can rest and unwind whenever they need.
“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 .”

“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: 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.
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: 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 dogs of my own for 30 years , and was a puppy walker for Guide Dogs for The Blind. Only finishing puppy walking when one of our dogs was withdrawn and came back home. I am experienced with puppies, senior dogs and everything in between. I’m working part time at the moment so am available to care for and walk your dog 7 days a week. My aim is to be a full time dog walker. I have a fully enclosed yard ( which is disinfected daily ) a lovely Labrador called Cariad , a little pug call Winnie to keep your fur baby company. Whilst at my home your fur baby will be allowed on the sofa and upstairs
About: What sets me apart is how much genuine care and attention I give to every pet I look after. I understand that every animal has their own personality and needs, and I always take the time to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and happy. Although I don’t have formal professional experience, I’ve grown up around dogs through my family, so I’m confident handling different breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I also have experience caring for rabbits, which has taught me patience, gentle handling, and the importance of paying close attention to behaviour and routine. I’m very reliable and organised with my time around college and work, so I can be flexible while still making sure pets get consistent care and attention. I’m also happy to follow any specific instructions closely, whether that’s for feeding, walks, or general routines. Most importantly, I treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure owners feel reassured with regular updates and photos while they’re away. Pet care fits really well into my daily routine. I’m currently at college, which means I have several gaps throughout the day that I can dedicate to dog walks, check-ins, or spending time with pets. I also have fairly flexible evenings and mostly free weekends, so I’m able to offer consistent care and give pets the time and attention they need. I work part-time alongside this, but I plan my schedule carefully to make sure any pets I’m looking after are always prioritised and not left alone for long periods. I enjoy being active and getting outdoors, so dog walking fits naturally into my routine, and I’m happy to adapt to each pet’s usual schedule as much as possible. When caring for pets, I always focus on making them feel as comfortable and secure as possible, whether they’re in my home or their own. In a pet owner’s home, I stick closely to their usual routine including feeding times, walks, and any specific instructions so pets feel settled and stress-free in their familiar environment. I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship, and I always keep the home clean and respected. I also keep owners updated with regular messages and photos, so they can feel confident their pet is happy and well cared for.
About: I’ve had pets since I was born. I was raised with 5 dogs at home, from puppies to elderly I enjoyed training, feeding and playing with them. As a teenager I’d help my friends by going to their houses to take care of their dogs and cats and take them for walks. I’m a volunteer in a woodland forest rescuing animals and creating new habitats for them, which improves my understanding of their behaviours and needs. I don’t do boarding for pets from different households at the same time so they can feel more comfortable while away from home. If your pet has any allergies, special needs, medications or a specific routine please let me know during the booking. I’m currently back home during summer break from university so if there isn’t any plans I’m free the whole week 24/7. I got a flexible schedule to be able to adjust for shifts needed I’ve got a house with a closed and fenced garden with play and have a good time. I don’t have any pets at home but I’m free the whole time to stay with your pet.

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.
“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: What sets me apart is my real, hands-on experience managing many dogs at once. I own four dogs and have cared for twelve family dogs, so I’m confident with different personalities, routines, puppies, and senior dogs. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every pet like my own. Back home, I handle my own dogs with feeding, walks, routines, and providing constant love and attention. I’m an MBA student at Loughborough with a flexible schedule and lots of free time between classes. I really miss my own dogs, so being around pets fits naturally into my day, and I can give them plenty of attention, walks, and care I provide a safe, trusting environment for your dog in your home. I can follow your routines closely and give plenty of attention, walks, and playtime. If needed, I can also crate your dog comfortably. My experience with my own dogs and family dogs ensures your fur baby will feel happy and secure while you’re away.

Otherwise I can care for your pet in their normal routine.
About: I recently lost our beautiful 15 year old cockador and I have a huge gap until we get a puppy again. So I wanted to offer my time to help others out who struggle around the holidays and don’t want to use kennels (we never did!). I live in a lovely home on a park, I work for myself so at home lots or in my workshop (dog can come. I have a dog flap too so they can access the garden whenever they like. I do have a 3 year old and a 9 year old so only will take dogs that at fine with children. Happy to also offer to walk and home visits if required. I work for myself so home a lot and have a workshop where dogs can come with me. My husband works from home too so always someone home and we have a dog flap. We have a 4 bed detached with nice garden on a park so loads of walking from the door step. I can also come to your home to walk and help
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.

“Liga provided the perfect home for our dog, Jack, while we were away for 2 days. He has very specific dietary needs and she was meticulous following them even with other dogs to care for as well. Her communication was stellar and Jack had an amazing time. Would absolutely recommend her as a dog sitter/boarding.”

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.”

“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.”
“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!”
“I can’t recommend Dipali and her husband enough! They were absolute lifesavers when our original dog sitter canceled on us last minute, just before our holiday to Morocco. Despite never having met us or Pablo before, they kindly agreed to take him in without a meet-and-greet, and at such short notice. From the moment my brother dropped Pablo off on Friday evening until we picked him up on Tuesday, Dipali and her husband provided the most loving and attentive care. They kept me updated with regular photos and messages, which gave me total peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that Pablo felt completely at home—he was so happy and comfortable that he’s actually crying the front door wanting to go back! Dipali and her husband truly have a passion for dogs, and their kindness and dedication shine through in the way they care for them. I’m beyond grateful for their help and will definitely be booking with them again. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Pablo!xx”
“Milena looked after my dog Kara for a day & night and I couldn’t have asked for better care. She sent me plenty of updates and photos throughout, which gave me real peace of mind. Kara had a wonderful time playing with her dog Sky and her kids, and got lots of cuddles too. Kara is double-coated so struggles in the heat, it was 28 degrees so I was especially impressed that Milena was so thoughtful- she used a cooling blanket and even gave her some frozen blueberries and watermelon to keep Kara comfortable. It’s clear Milena genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. I’d happily leave Kara with her again and would recommend her without hesitation”
“Polly was so lovely and accommodating. Made a real effort with our dog. He wanted to stay when we went to pick him up!!! Will certainly be staying with Polly again if she’s available.”
“Our first time using Rover and Tarnya was amazing. Put my mind at total ease, treated Koda like he was her own. Updates and photos too throughout. Definitely will use again. A total star x”
About: I’ve had dogs of my own for 30 years , and was a puppy walker for Guide Dogs for The Blind. Only finishing puppy walking when one of our dogs was withdrawn and came back home. I am experienced with puppies, senior dogs and everything in between. I’m working part time at the moment so am available to care for and walk your dog 7 days a week. My aim is to be a full time dog walker. I have a fully enclosed yard ( which is disinfected daily ) a lovely Labrador called Cariad , a little pug call Winnie to keep your fur baby company. Whilst at my home your fur baby will be allowed on the sofa and upstairs
About: I have been around animals all my life and was lucky enough to grow up with dogs, cats, horses, rabbits and hamsters- to name a few. I am a very loving, relaxed and laidback pet owner and love being around animals. I happily share my sofa and bed with my pets, so if that is something your dog would like, they would feel right at home when staying with me. My dog Oscar is a friendly and playful British bulldog and I also have 2 x 10 year old cats so any dog visiting would have friends to play with. I also have experience looking after puppies as well as older dogs. I work 4 long day a week but am free over the weekends to look after your dog. I generally walk Oscar once a day for an hour but sometimes he gets an additional half hour walk as well so can easily offer this for your dog. I have a large enclosed garden and space in the house to keep any dog separate from Oscar at nighttime if needed. There is also space for a crate if you prefer your dog to sleep in a crate.
“Julia was absolutely amazing with Safia ❤️ From the very beginning, she was caring, attentive, communicative, and incredibly thoughtful. She kept me updated throughout the stay with detailed messages about walks, food, water, playtime, and how Safia was doing emotionally, which gave me so much peace of mind, and the most thorough report about her day. She even washed and dried Safia’s blanket after a little accident without hesitation, such a kind gesture that truly shows how much she cares! Safia clearly felt comfortable and loved with Julia and her family, and it made me so happy to hear how well she got along with everyone 😊 I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better person. I would trust Julia again without a second thought and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, warm, patient, and genuinely loving with dogs. Thank you again for taking such wonderful care of Safia 🐾”
“Daisy has again had a lovely stay with Aleks. She kept us updated with many photos and videos so we could see how much fun she was having and how much she was clearly not missing us! She has really made Daisy part of the family for the week so can highly recommend”
About: Dogs have literally been my whole world. Growing up... I had everything from my mum's sassy little sausage dog to big, bouncy German Shepherds. My proudest moment? Adopting a retired police dog... and at one point, having three large dogs under my roof all at once. I live for the chaos! Love playing, training, talking to them (full conversations, obviously!), and walking them endlessly until their tongues are hanging out. Here's the thing... I'm petite. But walking these big, powerful dogs actually gives me the bravery to explore Leicester properly. Dogs show me pathways and hidden spots I'd never find alone... and in return, I keep them safe, exercised, and happy. Now I'm settled on Vaughan Way, right in the city centre, and I've been loving discovering Abbey Park, the riverside, and every green patch Leicester has to offer. I'd genuinely love for your pup to be my next walking buddy. I'm actually out of work right now, so my schedule is completely open! I'm on this whole healthy self-betterment wave, and honestly, breaking up my day with a good dog walk would be amazing for both of us. Noon or night, I'm totally flexible and happy to fit around your pup's routine. Let's get those tails wagging! Safety is literally my number one priority. I've had three large dogs at once, including a retired police dog... so I know how to read their body language and keep them out of trouble. On walks, I stay totally focused on the dog, no phone scrolling, just me and your pup exploring Abbey Park, the riverside, or wherever they love to sniff. I keep them on a lead unless you say otherwise, and I always carry poop bags and water. Honestly, I just want them to feel safe, happy, and completely themselves while you're away.
