“We are very happy with the care our dog received. She was kind, reliable, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. Czika was happy and well looked after. We would definitely book with her again🩷”
“We did a last minute booking with Ebru because we had an important family issue, and thank god Ebru was available. She took our cockerpoo for 2 nights and such a relief. Ebru was very professional and kept in touch with us with pictures etc. We will definitely use Ebru services again, and would vouch for her for others that wish to have her look after the dogs. Thanks again Ebru🙏👍”
“Highly recommended and gave my dogs a home from home experience. Shelby looked after my two dogs for two nights and we were updated lots with photos of them playing, out on walks and snuggled up with Shelby. We were put at ease straight away when we met them before boarding and this trust and care for our dogs continued with excellent communication before, during and after the boarding experience. We will definitely trust and use them again. Thank you so much guys.”
“My dog returned very happy and calm after being with Sue for the week. He had a fantastic time and Sue kept me updated with messages, I couldn’t ask for a better sitter. Will definitely use Sue in future.”
“Brilliant sitter, very laid back and treated our dog as their own. Our spaniel didn’t want to come home with us, that’s how much fun she had whilst being with Natalie! Wouldn’t use anyone else, knowing our spaniel is in the best second home whilst we are away is a massive bonus and we have no need to worry about her”
About: I have over 5 years of experience caring for dogs and am a huge dog lover. I’ve regularly looked after dogs for friends and family, including my friend’s dog and my auntie’s dog, who I care for quite often. Through this experience, I’ve become confident handling dogs of all different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I absolutely love spending time with dogs and enjoy taking them on walks, playing with them, cuddles and making sure they feel happy. Whether it’s a long walk, some company during the day, or lots of attention and affection, I treat every dog as if they were my own I work from home full time so happy to care and be around for your dogs with my flexible schedule🐶 I have the time to pop over, go on walks or a have your dog for a sleepover most days 🐾 I live in a detached house with a good sized fenced garden! It is 3 storey so there is stairs to consider if your dog likes to sleep upstairs, but plenty of rooms and space if your dog likes sleeping elsewhere. I live near lots of walking trails, fields, woods, and swimming spots! I don’t have any other pets and live with my boyfriend who also absolutely loves dogs too.
“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!”
“First time using Jade and I’ll definitely use Jade again! She made sure to keep me updated with how Winnie was getting on and send me loads of photos which made my heart melt, Winnie had the bestest day to the point where she didn’t even want to get back in the car! Jade looks after your pup like she’s her own and it’s amazing to have that when it’s needed!”
“Cody had a fab time with Hayley and Pete! Great communication and lots of picture updates which are very much appreciated! ☺️ I’m sure he will be excited for his next stay with you guys! Thank you”
“Zoe was amazing with our boy Blue, he isn’t used to other dogs or being away but Zoe made him feel very much at home and he was great with both her lovely dogs. Could t be happier with her and would happily leave Blue with her again.”
“Can’t thank Charlotte enough for looking after my fur baby! I received regular updates through the weekend letting me know what they’d been up to. She took time listening to my dogs routine and that put my mind at ease. My dog has had a really wonderful weekend and I can’t thank you enough. 100% recommend!”
“Picky had an amazing time with Karen. I could tell he absolutely loved her. On our side, we were really happy with everything too. She asked many pertinent questions, we could tell that she really knows her way around dogs. Picky being epileptic, we really wanted somebody thorough and trustworthy with his medication. She didn’t disappoint and we are looking forward to booking her again!”
“Barney and Lola had a great time with Nicola and her partner, very waggy tails when collected. Nicola had my two terriers at short notice, kept me updated throughout the stay and was conscientious with asking questions about normal routines etc. Will definitely use Nicola again 100/10!”
“Meg and her partner looked after Coco brilliantly! I was provided with daily updates and photos of Coco living her best life. They even took her for a nice walk in Matlock to make the most of the lovely weather. Would absolutely recommend Meg to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.”
“Thank you so much to Heather and family for looking after Kaida. After the first meet, I just knew Kaida would be looked after and there would be no worries at all. Heather kept in touch while away with both messages and photos which was very reassuring. First time we have tried home boarding and Kaida was looked after brilliantly as if she was their own. Wouldn't hesitate to use Heather again and cannot say how delighted I was with the service, love and care provided. Highly recommended and a big thank you to putting my mind at ease.”
“Megan and her partner were great with Patch. He had an amazing time and settled really well into their environment. Both very experienced and with this being Patch’s first time we were a little nervous however they reassured us and kept us up to date and there were no issues at all. We loved that they were both relaxed and delivered a 5 star service. We’ll definitely be using them again.”
“I will most definitely be booking Tracey again. I felt so relaxed knowing he was being so well cared for. Tracy sent me regular updates and photos, and Sidney looks like he had such a lovely day.”

“Evie did a wonderful job looking after my cat, Ted, while I was on holiday. She made the effort to get to know Ted and learn about his routines and favourite toys before the visit. During my trip Evie kept me updated with messages and lots of lovely pictures of Ted so I could see he was happy. I came home to a spotless house and a very happy cat, who had enjoyed his week with Evie. He is already missing her. I would definitely recommend Evie and will be hoping to book her again in the future!”
“Ellie was great. Came round at arranged time for a pre-meet and was very professional and organised gathering the information she needed. She was flexible and accommodating in meeting our cats particular needs and I felt confident entrusting our cat and home to her while we were away. Our cat is quite timid but was a fan of Ellie, choosing to sit in her lap for a cuddle which is rare. Really appreciated the photos to give us peace of mind that our beloved cat was well and happy. We wouldn’t hesitate to use again and to recommend.”
“Clare is absolutely lovely and took such great care of my cat, Ted. Ted had a great time hanging out with her and was very happy and content. Clare left the house absolutely spotless and had also gone to the trouble of getting me a lovely gift when I got home. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Clare for house sitting :)”

About: I’ve looked after my two cats Snoop and Witchwitton since before I started vet school, and they’re both still with me as a graduated vet, so I’m doing something right! I am a cat person and appreciate all their quirks - whether it be cuddling up on a lap, or putting as much physical distance between them and any strange human as possible. Please note whilst I am a vet, I will not give any veterinary advice nor provide any clinical exams on your pets. It is neither legal nor ethical for me to do so. What I can offer is peace of mind if you have a pet with a medical condition or who needs medicine administering.

About: Hi! 👋 A little bit about me…I’ve grown up with animals in my life and have had pets since age of 5. Growing up on a farm, I’ve always naturally had an affinity for animals. I have experience looking after kittens, puppies, cats as well as dogs. I have been trusted to dog sit for friends and family for most of my adult life, but have been doing so professionally for the last few years. If you have any questions at all - feel free to message me. I currently work from home so have now got increased capacity to make weekly trips to look after other peoples pets. Hence I am opening my availability up to provide care for more pets. Caring for each pet is different and I am more than happy to meet requirements of each pet’s specific needs and routine alongside providing a watchful eye and fulfilling their personal interactive needs such as cuddles/petting, treats, and continuing their training as requested.
“Sue dropped by to look after our two cats after our original plans fell through and we needed someone urgently. We’re so thankful that Sue was able to work around our times at such late notice. We also got updates from visits and everything was left tidy for when we got back, thank you!”
“Had Maddie meet my furry friend today for the first time. With my dog having extreme anxiety over new people, I was surprised how much he'd let her do during their first meet. They say dogs can feel people much better than we can. For Moss to let Maddie pet him and to eat from her hand within 20 minutes of first meeting her, that means a lot! I've got a feeling they can build an awesome relationship, and spend great time together when I have to take care of other business.”
“Conner was amazing with Toby. We were a little nervous as he had never been left with anybody before but Conner made us feel so at ease. Felt safe and secure the entire time and got lots of photos of their time together. Toby is looking forward to the next time he sees his friend! Will definitely book Conner again. Thank you!”
“Cassie is absolutely amazing! She took the best care of my cat Molly while I was away, and I couldn't have asked for more. She was reliable, trustworthy, and communicated with me regularly to keep me updated on my pet's activities and well-being. I was impressed by her attention to detail. She was also very flexible which made the whole experience stress-free for me. I would highly recommend Cassie to anyone in need of a pet sitter. I feel so lucky to have found her and I know I'll be using her services again in the future.”

About: - I’ve grown up with dogs and have spent years dog sitting for friends and family, so you can expect a calm, confident, and caring pair of hands looking after your pet. - I understand how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone new, which is why I’m always happy to have a phone call beforehand or arrange a meet and greet to make sure you feel completely comfortable. - Growing up, I was kept on my toes by two very strong-willed terriers (including a particularly determined Patterdale … if you know, you know). They’ve given me plenty of hands on experience with lively, intelligent, and sometimes escape-artist dogs, so safety and awareness are always my top priority. - I’ve looked after a wide range of breeds, from Dachshunds and Chihuahuas to Corgis, Retrievers, and Bichon Frisés, and I adapt my care to suit each dog’s individual personality and needs. - For your peace of mind, I am fully insured and take every precaution to ensure your pet’s safety, comfort, and wellbeing at all times. I work from home and I’m my own boss - so my routine is flexible and can adapt around what your dog needs and likes to do! If allowed, I can even take your pet for a dog-friendly ice cream at the local cafe! 🍦 (a 5 minute walk from my home) (For dog sitting) I have a secure, spacious garden for you dogs to roam around. It’s fully patterdale proofed by Zamba, seasoned escape artist! So your dogs will be perfectly safe and secure. And my house is spacious with plenty of room to roam around. There’s no other pets in the house so your dog will have my full attention. My house is a 2 minute walk from the local park and the back garden is surrounded by woodland - so lots of sniffs and it’s a dog’s paradise!
“David was clearly a dog lover and both dogs seemed happy to go back on the second day. David was very good at communicating and sent photos of Leo and Poppy. I would not hesitate to recommend David nor leave Leo and Poppy with David again.”
“Peggy had a lovely afternoon with Meisha and was very well looked after, with lots of activities and cuddles to keep her happy. The house and garden are 100% dog friendly and safe and I have no hesitation in recommending Meisha. Peggy will be staying again very soon.”
“My 3 and a half year old cockerpoo, Ralph, stayed for day care with Nikki for the first time yesterday. We went for a meet and greet last week and Nikki was great with Ralph. Nikki showed Ralph love, care and fuss (and treats!). Nikki sent me lots of pictures and videos during day care of how happy Ralph was at hers and playing with other dogs in the garden. Nikki is very accommodating for your needs and makes you feel assured that you are leaving your dog in the hands of someone who genuinely cares about your dog. Couldn't ask for better. Thank you Nikki.”

“Ollie had our 2 year old dog and looked after him tremendously. Ollie is a warm, kind person who bonded with Rufus as soon as he met him. I felt very comfortable leaving Rufus with Ollie and know that he looked after him really well, took him for walks and gave him cuddles. 10/10 would recommend, thanks so much again Ollie ?”

About: I have grown up with and looked after dogs, my whole life and know how to handle nervous and excited dogs. I’ve been lucky enough to grow up with dogs. Most of the dogs I’ve grown up with have I’ve been adopted from situations that I did not deserve to be in. Most came from abusive homes I and my family were able to encourage them to come out the shell am I thoroughly enjoy getting know the dogs personality. I recently graduated with a bachelors in politics and I’m currently completing a law conversion at home. While my fiance works at the health and safety executive in Buxton. As I am home most of the day, my schedule and routine would be fitting and around the pup. I strongly believe that positive reinforcement is the only reinforcement love nurture and constant affection are the only way to go. I will always believe that a dog is an extension of the family and will always be a member of the family and so should be treated with the most love and care.
“For a first time ever at daycare I'm really pleased. Obi is a nervous little guy sometimes and Dilma and co. really helped Obi feel comfortable. He even had a little nap which I was surprised at. I didn't know if he was going to be able to settle in a strange environment. Will definitely be coming back for another play day x”

If you have any questions at all - feel free to message me. I currently work from home so have now got increased capacity to make weekly trips to look after other peoples pets. Hence I am opening my availability up to provide care for more pets. Caring for each pet is different and I am more than happy to meet requirements of each pet’s specific needs and routine alongside providing a watchful eye and fulfilling their personal interactive needs such as cuddles/petting, treats, and continuing their training as requested.
About: I started taking care of dogs when I lived in Australia as a way to travel the country, and fell in love! I’m back home now and keen to meet new dogs and people. I work part time at a cafe from 11-4:30, so I have time in the mornings and late afternoon for walks, feeding, toilet time or just to hang out and play! I’m also free every weekend. I will not be able to look after dogs in my own home unfortunately so will not be able to answer this question at this current time.
About: My love for dogs started where my family kept our family horses, there were 3 dogs (beagle, springer & Romanian rescue) so I spent lots of time with the dogs. In 2021 I began a role as a Theatre Technician for a Veterinary referral hospital where I primarily looked after sterile services for the hospital but around this, I assisted the nurses and surgeons in caring for dogs in other areas of the practice of all sizes up to Great Danes and Bernese Mountains dogs! Since, I have done 21 sits through Trusted House Sitters, of which, 12 were dog sits. I am happy to share my 5 star reviews from these. I have sat for a range of dog breeds such as Poodles, Chihuahuas, Chow Chow, Husky, Dalmation, Pomeranian, Corgi, Greyhounds and more! Through house sitting I have looked after dogs with special requirements such as post spinal surgery. I have completed my pet first aid course. I currently available for care Mondays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays anytime during the day/ evening and over night. Midweek I am available from 5pm onwards but I am willing to consider care outside of these times if I have prior warning. Holiday rate (Double Rate) applies for overnight sits going into and on the night of Bank Holidays & between the 22 December - 4th January. Rover does not let you specify dates for holiday rates, please note I will manually change the rate to reflect bank holiday rates upon booking request. I will often come to house sit with my husband who: - Has had cats his whole life too - Looks after his mums Bengal cat when she is away so is used to raw feed routines and unique species of cats. - Helped to care for Cassie’s FIV cat Rambo. - Owns 2 domestic long hair cats with me now - Has owned hamsters so is used to smaller animals and their needs - Tom I had hugely helped Cassie caring for her parents two horses over the years so is horse aware . Tom is happy to meet pet parents before a sit too. Please let me know if Tom coming with me to a sit will be an issue before booking / commencement of the sit. I have done various care routines for these house sits so I am comfortable with raw or specialist feeding routines; walks up to 3 dogs at a time, crating, commands/ instructions and care of any injuries as well as administering medication. I am happy to provide updates morning and evening. What I can offer on overnight house sitting: - Feeding PM & AM (please check special requirements beforehand) - 1 x 30 minute walk PM & 1 x 30 minute walk AM (please inform me if your dog has specific times to their routine beforehand or if your dog requires longer walks) - Fresh water putting down - Plenty of playtime (if dog requires) - Plenty of cuddles! - Grooming (if required) - Letting out before bedtime etc, crating On a drop in visit: sitting: - Feeding (please check special requirements beforehand) - Fresh water putting down - Playtime (if dog requires) - Plenty of cuddles! - Grooming (if required) - Letting out for toilet break

“Highly recommended and gave my dogs a home from home experience. Shelby looked after my two dogs for two nights and we were updated lots with photos of them playing, out on walks and snuggled up with Shelby. We were put at ease straight away when we met them before boarding and this trust and care for our dogs continued with excellent communication before, during and after the boarding experience. We will definitely trust and use them again. Thank you so much guys.”
About: I have over 5 years of experience caring for dogs and am a huge dog lover. I’ve regularly looked after dogs for friends and family, including my friend’s dog and my auntie’s dog, who I care for quite often. Through this experience, I’ve become confident handling dogs of all different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I absolutely love spending time with dogs and enjoy taking them on walks, playing with them, cuddles and making sure they feel happy. Whether it’s a long walk, some company during the day, or lots of attention and affection, I treat every dog as if they were my own I work from home full time so happy to care and be around for your dogs with my flexible schedule🐶 I have the time to pop over, go on walks or a have your dog for a sleepover most days 🐾 I live in a detached house with a good sized fenced garden! It is 3 storey so there is stairs to consider if your dog likes to sleep upstairs, but plenty of rooms and space if your dog likes sleeping elsewhere. I live near lots of walking trails, fields, woods, and swimming spots! I don’t have any other pets and live with my boyfriend who also absolutely loves dogs too.
“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!”
“First time using Jade and I’ll definitely use Jade again! She made sure to keep me updated with how Winnie was getting on and send me loads of photos which made my heart melt, Winnie had the bestest day to the point where she didn’t even want to get back in the car! Jade looks after your pup like she’s her own and it’s amazing to have that when it’s needed!”
“Cody had a fab time with Hayley and Pete! Great communication and lots of picture updates which are very much appreciated! ☺️ I’m sure he will be excited for his next stay with you guys! Thank you”
“Zoe was amazing with our boy Blue, he isn’t used to other dogs or being away but Zoe made him feel very much at home and he was great with both her lovely dogs. Could t be happier with her and would happily leave Blue with her again.”
“Can’t thank Charlotte enough for looking after my fur baby! I received regular updates through the weekend letting me know what they’d been up to. She took time listening to my dogs routine and that put my mind at ease. My dog has had a really wonderful weekend and I can’t thank you enough. 100% recommend!”
“Meg and her partner looked after Coco brilliantly! I was provided with daily updates and photos of Coco living her best life. They even took her for a nice walk in Matlock to make the most of the lovely weather. Would absolutely recommend Meg to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.”
“Thank you so much to Heather and family for looking after Kaida. After the first meet, I just knew Kaida would be looked after and there would be no worries at all. Heather kept in touch while away with both messages and photos which was very reassuring. First time we have tried home boarding and Kaida was looked after brilliantly as if she was their own. Wouldn't hesitate to use Heather again and cannot say how delighted I was with the service, love and care provided. Highly recommended and a big thank you to putting my mind at ease.”
“Megan and her partner were great with Patch. He had an amazing time and settled really well into their environment. Both very experienced and with this being Patch’s first time we were a little nervous however they reassured us and kept us up to date and there were no issues at all. We loved that they were both relaxed and delivered a 5 star service. We’ll definitely be using them again.”
“I will most definitely be booking Tracey again. I felt so relaxed knowing he was being so well cared for. Tracy sent me regular updates and photos, and Sidney looks like he had such a lovely day.”
“Molly had a lovely Christmas break with Linda and Rob. They were very welcoming and Molly was comfortable straight away. Linda was very patient with me whilst I was making Christmas plans and her communication was great. If we lived closer would definitely use again!”

“Clare was great, she made a real effort to get to know liz before her stay, and kept me well informed with messages and photos throughout, I could tell lizi was very well looked after when I collected her, and she looked very happy cuddled up in front of the fire!”
“My dog Cooper had a wonderful time with Melissa, Ben and Merlin! Melissa was so lovely and helpful getting everything organised beforehand, and then sent lots of photos and updates with how he was getting on. Cooper came home very happy and worn out from lots of playing. He can't wait for his next holiday to Merlin's house!”
“2nd time Soraya has looked after bongo and he has had a blast for the last 10 days!! So lucky to have found someone so warm and loving for bongo whilst I’m away. I’ve already booked his next stay :)”
