“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🩷”
“Hayley and Pete were lovely and friendly, asked lots of questions about Bella and what she's like in the home ,on lead ect. Bella is very nervous with new people and they didn't try to push her for a stroke. Having some playmates definitely helped Bella to settle in. Will definitely be using again. Thanks very much Hayley and Pete 🐾”
“Ebru is amazing! So caring and experienced with cats. She communicated with me throughout, sent pics, and even asked how they were after o collected them, as one has car sickness. Highly recommended!”
“We had an amazing experience from start to finish with Lucy. Our frenchie, Nellie, had the best time staying with her and was incredibly well looked after. We really appreciated the photos and updates every day. We could tell Nellie felt at home and at ease staying with Lucy. I would definitely recommend her to anyone wanting their dog to stay in a loving home while you’re away and we have already recommended her to family and friends!!”
“Meisha was absolutely brilliant! She booked a meet and greet for us, and her and Freddy hit it off from the start. We fully trusted Meisha, and Freddy felt so at home there - he even got to visit her family which was super sweet, a real “one of the family” feeling. She went above and beyond to make Freddy comfortable and stick to his usual routines, and knew everything about him (we really appreciated it and knew he was in safe hands). We’ll definitely book Meisha again - can’t thank her enough! x”
“I was more than happy with the service provided by Meg in looking after my terrier at such short notice. The house and facilities were perfect and the regular updates put me at ease. Thank you for looking after my dog.”
“I would 1000% recommend anyone to choose Ellie to look after their dogs. She’s an absolute angel and you can really tell she loves looking after them, both Ellie and Liam took amazing care of my dog and treated her like their own, we also received regular updates on how she was doing as well as picture and videos which was really sweet. We couldn’t have asked for more and will definitely use her again and again 🫶🏼🐶”
About: Dogs have always held a special place in my heart and I have experience with different breeds. I’ve always been around dogs and other animals and love caring for them. Our house has a lovely big garden and a separate area inside for dogs who might want their own space. I am currently at home during school hours so have plenty of time to play with your dogs and take them on walks. Boarding is available during the week and weekends. I have a large, fenced garden and one dog called Nettle who loves to play. However, there is a separate area for dogs who might want their own space. Our house is on a private road and in a quiet area with walks from the doorstep or a very short drive to gorgeous Peak District countryside.
“Karen was a perfect person to care for our Border Collie, Siân. She has a wealth of experience with and understanding of dogs, but she is also very kind, welcoming and accommodating. She really took care to think what would be best for Siân. Moreover, we really enjoyed meeting Karen and wish we lived closer to be able to have her as a regular person in our and Siân's lives!”
“Upon meeting for the 1st time Droskyn was happy and content. During his stay we received regular pupdates and photographs and was reassured that Droskyn was well . He had plenty of exercise and play and we were 100% happy with the care he received. I would definitely recommend Linda and Rob if your looking for Homeboarding for your dog. Thankyou so much to you both .”
“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!”
“Percy had a lovely stay with Aneta when we attended a wedding and he came back very chilled and happy. She was kind and thoughtful towards him and me ( firsts time of leaving him) and I would recommend her very much. We will definitely ask her to look after Percy in the future.”
About: Dogs are the most wonderful animal on the planet. I have recently been offering home stays for friends and family and it's been lovely having those cheeky face around my house. So I've decided to offer my dog loving home to your fury family. They will be treated like royalty. I am at home most days so your lovely dog will have lots of company. Dog stays will include nice walks in the county side and lots of love and cuddles. I can Taylor my day to meet their needs. I also visit my mum who is an animal lover so your pet will visit her too if booked in on those days. (Your dog needs to travel well in a car) I have a nice sized fenced garden so you dog will have plenty of space. I'm home all day and on nice weather days the door to the garden is left open so your lovely dog can come and go as they please.
“Highly recommended 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.”

“Izzy was absolutely amazing looking after my 2 cats, and I couldn't recommend her more! 1 of my cats is usually scared of any strangers (she hides from people she's known for years) but Izzy played with her and managed a pet or two. Izzy went over and above and I will certainly be seeing if she is available again!”
“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.”
About: I have had and looked after many animals (mainly rescues) since I could walk. I have extensive experience with dogs and have grown up around cats. I have been pet sitting in Melbourne Australia for the last 3 years and love working with my clients regularly to help their dogs feel settled while they are away. I have worked with all sorts of dogs from chilled out sleepy pooches to angsty or nervous pets! I am currently work part time with some study online, which can be done from home. My shifts are normally only a maximum of 5 hours as I work as a personal trainer, so your pet wouldn’t be on its own for long! I don’t offer dog sitting in my own home as I have a rescue dog who is not great with new dogs. However in your home I promise to leave it clean and tidy and make sure your pet gets all the attention and walks or pets they need!
About: Retired professional and life long dog owner/lover. I can offer a your dog a home from home dog care experience, contact me with your requirements. I can offer dog walking, house visits and overnight stays, either at your home or mine. I am DBS checked (August 2021) and am fully insured to provide dog care services. As I am now retired from my 9 to 5 job I have plenty of time to accommodate dog sitting/walking, depending upon the number of weekly/daily bookings. Dogs will be treated as if my own in both the dogs own home and my own. The front and rear of my property is fenced/gated.
“Amy has looked after our cat, pond fish and wild birds exceptionally well. Her reliability and care has been excellent! We shall definitely be asking Amy again in the future , definitely would recommend her.”
“Ekaterina was an amazing host for our two cats who boarded with her whilst we were moving house. She was incredibly understanding and accommodating to their needs, and offered them lots of love, cuddles and attention as well. The space was incredibly well set up, ensuring that they could keep seperate from her own two lovely cats. She even let us come visit them at her home to help settle them in. I would 100% recommend her service and we will definitely use her services again.”
About: I have two cats of my own and take a lot of care to make sure they are happy, healthy and stimulated. They have multiple food and water bowls, a water fountain and an automatic feeder, with wet food given twice daily. I make sure they have plenty of interaction and stimulation through interactive toys, treats such as dental sticks and even putting on bird or wildlife programmes on TV, which they love watching. I’m confident reading cat body language and understanding when a cat wants attention, playtime or simply some space. I believe cats should be allowed to approach you in their own time and feel comfortable and safe.
“Elena responded very quickly to our enquiry to look after our cat Rosy while we were on holiday, and was proactive about understanding Rosy’s needs and routine, asking insightful questions. We received many photos and notes while we were away, which gave us plenty of assurance that Rosy was being cared for very well. We returned home to a happy and content cat! Elena patently loves cats and can be trusted to look after them - can definitely recommend!”
About: I’ve taken care of two crazy black Labradors since I was 13 years old. I had so much fun teaching them tricks and taking them for swims in the sea. Now I’m at university I miss being around and caring for pets so much and the thing I looked forwards to most about going home is seeing them. I’m currently at Exeter University studying Medicine. Whilst the course is intense I don’t have many in person contact sessions or lectures and so I am able to schedule my studies so that I’ll have lots of free time to dog sitting /walking . In a pet owners home I will make sure I listen and follow any instructions that are given to me by the owner to ensure the safety of the pet.
“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.”
“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!”
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.
“Paulina was very friendly and did a great job looking after our cat Simba while we were away for a few days. She sent frequent updates including pictures and video, and we are confident our boy was well looked after during his boarding. Would not hesitate to book with Paulina again.”
About: I know cats are normally the top boss and always respect a cats boundaries. From my experience, cats will approach you if they wish to be around you and want your attention. I will always check in and make sure they’re okay, while giving them their space
“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 previously owned and operated a pet store for six years, building a substantial clientele and earning trust. I have a deep understanding of the behavioral cues of both cats and dogs and expertise in caring for dogs with various health issues, including conditions like ear mites, interdigital dermatitis, and skin diseases. I am knowledgeable about the causes and treatments for these ailments. Additionally, I am proficient in providing routine pet care, such as bathing, blow-drying, nail trimming, expressing anal glands, and cleaning ears. Moreover, I know how to select suitable food for cats and dogs. In my former pet store, I regularly prepared nutritious meals for boarded pets. Through years of experience, I've learned that patience and genuine care are paramount in this profession. I am currently a college student studying equestrian-related disciplines at NTU. I have free time every weekend and am more than happy to assist those in need with taking care of their beloved pets at home. I will begin by inquiring about essential details regarding the pet, such as feeding amounts, dog-walking times, play durations, and litter box maintenance. Additionally, I'll attentively listen to the owner's specific requirements. Moreover, I offer complimentary basic health checks for the pets and can provide caregiving advice. After discussing the care plan, I will ensure to fulfill the agreed-upon needs as per our arrangement. I'm also open to sharing video updates of each care session with the owner.
About: I have cared for cats through more than 20 successful house sits in the UK and Canada. I have experience with friendly, shy, indoor, outdoor, and senior cats, and I always respect each cat’s unique personality and routine. I work remotely, so I spend plenty of time at home providing companionship, feeding, litter box care, playtime, and regular updates with photos. My goal is to keep every cat relaxed and comfortable while their owners are away

About: I've been around dogs of different kinds all of my life. Looking after friends and family dogs, feeding, walking, bathing, grooming, cuddling ;) Cuddles on the sofa, zoomies or walks in the park dogs I enjoy it all! I'm a Personal Assistant who is lucky enough to work from home. I started my career working with children in schools, I was then Cabin Crew for a short while, until I found a job I love. DBS checked ✅ Historically First Aid trained including advanced aviation med (certificates lapsed) I am not quite in a position to have my own but I'd love to help care for your pooch. Most of the week I work from home. I am normally in the office one day a week and will be out of the house for around 10hrs so would avoid have visitors, as I have no one to pop in to let them out. Weekends I am home or local to home. There are no other pets or children in the house. I have a large kitchen which is safe for dogs, which leads out onto a secure paved fenced garden. I have multiple walks local to my house, with the Peak District a short drive away for longer walks.

Our house has a lovely big garden and a separate area inside for dogs who might want their own space. I am currently at home during school hours so have plenty of time to play with your dogs and take them on walks. Boarding is available during the week and weekends.

About: I've been a dog owner for over 15 years and have done Rover in the past. I'm a relaxed dog sitter that understands dog behaviour and I would never use any form of punishment training. Your dog will be looked after like they are my own with care and kindness. I work mainly from home but have a routine with my own large rescue dog that is usually first thing in the morning and around 4-5pm. I can offer regular walks around these times, some doggy day care (Ollie loves having friends to play with!) and also occasional dog boarding. I do sometimes leave the house for work for around 4 hours so boarding will need to be arranged upfront and for dogs that are ok to be left for a while. I have a secure garden at home and a van that I can collect your dog in to take on walks - we usually go for an hour to the woods or moors and Ollie loves company!
“Really happy that I’ve found Meisha, I will definitely rebook, it was good to hear that he settled and from the photos it looks as though he made himself at home. It was a good sign that he ran straight in when I got him out of the car. Very happy to have left Steve in good hands x”
“Lucy is extremely human and dog friendly ;0) She welcomed our dogs in her home and listened to our dog’s needs. Our dogs were very happy and relaxed with Lucy. We would definitely book Lucy again Thank you x”
“Dixie and dougal had a great day with meg. She helped us out last minute and i would highly reccomend her and she kept us updated throughout the day with messages and pictures. Thank you again”
About: Hi, I am Natalie I have a little Tibetan Spaniel called Bella, she is a massive part of our family and there is never a dull moment when she is around. She turns the incredible age of 18 in November! She does go to my parents as she is a family pet so this isn't a issue if dogs dont get on she will go to my mum and dad's house. I have a great experience with animals, often rescuing wild injured animals and also being a voulenteer for The Guide Dogs in chesterfield. I have owned hamsters, guinea pigs, rabbits, budgies and dogs. I love hiking, yoga and swimming. I also have a big passion for travel our recent trip being America and visiting Yellowstone and Montana seeing the beautiful grizzly bears with their babies. Your beautiful fur babies are in the best hands with me and will get treat like part of the family ! I also do a lot of hiking so am happy to take the dogs out with me too if wanted. I am currently working part time so will have plenty of time for your animals, I like to board mostly over the weekend but this is not always an absolute must. I have a lovely fenced secure garden for your pooches to play in. We also have stairgates top and bottom, our dog is elderly so we had these put in place to reduce the risks of falls. A big open plan kitchen and dinner for the animals to have lots of space in.
“Thanks for looking after Jasper for the day. He’s somewhat of a neurotic spaniel but seemed to settle straight away and was very calm (for his standards) when we came to pick him up. Thanks again.”
“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”
“Anna is simply amazing. From regular updates to the love, care and attention she shows to our Lucky, giving us peace of mind that he is having an amazing time while we are away. Thanks as always for being so great with our fur baby 🥰”
“Buddy is a very anxious and needy dog and he’s never been left with someone he doesn’t know. Janice was very patient with him and by the end his stay he was comfortable enough to sit on the settee with her! She kept me informed throughout the day and I feel very reassured for his week long stay with her next week 😊”
“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.”
About: Dog lady, love dogs! Owner and carer of dogs for 20yrs. Recently studying dog behaviour course and have clients for both dog walking and behaviour therapy. Kisses and cuddles a plenty!! I’m a (young) retired teacher. Retrained as a dog behaviourist. I have two primary age children and need to be around for school pickup and drop off but I’m flexible with the rest of my time. I’m available Monday to Friday I have a fenced garden and two crazy fun pupsters to play with your fur baby if they enjoy play.

Alternatively, for dog walking I have a dog mobile that I can pick up and safely collect and return your furry family member. I never walk more than three dogs at a time and by arrangement can walk separately if needed. I’m calm and patient and love my time with four legged friends so, their health and safety is paramount to me at all times 😍
“Obi adores Nicole! She has a natural affinity with our 4 legged friends. I was very reassured by all the questions Nicole asked us about Obi and his habits, he’s had the best time with her and I will definitely be a repeat customer.”
About: Welcome! While I am brand new to the Rover app, I am a highly experienced, five-star pet sitter with years of verified care history. Please scroll to the bottom of my profile text to read a few of my 5-star reviews copied directly from my TrustedHousesitters profile! I’ve been pet sitting since 2019 and am a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for both dogs and cats. I have also volunteered with Soi Dog Foundation in Thailand and 2nd Chance Rescue in Qatar, giving me hands-on experience with rescue dogs with a wide range of personalities and backgrounds. I’m comfortable with pets of different ages and temperaments and understand how important it is to follow their usual routines and help them feel safe and relaxed. I’m reliable and responsible and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, whether that means a good walk, playtime or simply keeping them company. 🌟 5-STAR REVIEWS FROM MY TRUSTEDHOUSESITTERS' PROFILE: • 🐾 "I can highly recommend Kathryn. She is calm, responsible, mature and takes her dog sitting's position seriously... I could not feel more relaxed." — Katia (6-day sit) • 🐾 "Kathryn was wonderful. The dogs clearly loved her. This was evident when she came to the house a couple of days after our return and they were delighted to see her! ... Communication with her was easy and we felt confident whilst we were away." — Iona (31-day sit) • 🐾 "Kathryn has been an absolutely amazing pet sitter... She sent me constant updates and she took the kitten to the vet when was needed for vaccine. I will totally trust her again 100%." — Katherine (48-day sit) • 🐾 "Kathryn is a super reliable pet sitter and a very communicative person. She looked after our cat really well for 6 weeks and everything went very smoothly. Highly recommended!" — Valeria (41-day sit) • 🐾 "Kathryn was wonderful and reliable. She kept me updated and sent pictures. It was clear that Ilaria, my dog, loved her..." — Trisha (5-day sit) I work freelance from home, so my schedule is quite flexible and I’m around for much of the day. This gives me plenty of time for walks, company and playtime, and I’m happy to fit in with your pet’s usual routine. I’m available on weekdays and weekends and can often help at relatively short notice. I live alone in my own home and don’t have any pets of my own, so your pet will have plenty of attention and a calm place to stay. I don’t have a garden, but I’m lucky to live in a lovely rural area with countryside walks right outside my door, so there are plenty of opportunities for regular walks. I’m equally happy looking after pets in their own home, where I’ll follow their normal routine and make sure they feel comfortable and settled. Having house and pet sat for several years, I’m very respectful of other people’s homes and know how important it is to keep owners updated and reassured while they’re away.
“We left Patti with Aneta for the first time and had a really great experience. Aneta was immediately warm and reassuring, which made us feel very comfortable leaving her. Patti clearly had a brilliant day. She came home happy and relaxed, and it was lovely to see how settled she was. Aneta even took her out for a proper walk despite the rain, which we really appreciated. It is clear Patti was well cared for and enjoyed her time. We would happily recommend Aneta and will definitely be booking again.”
“Megan has been just perfect, she was super friendly, accommodating and looked after our dog wonderfully. She kept us up to date and sent regular pictures to show how much of a good time he was having. We will 100% be booking future daycare and overnights with Megan for sure. Megan thank you so much for taking care of our boy, we are so pleased he now has a new girlfriend too! :)”

“Our puppy Daisy had a great time with Izzy yesterday. She kept us updated on how Daisy was doing while we were out for the whole day and Daisy was really calm and happy when we got home. Would recommend!”
“What a delight meeting Claire… an absolutely lovely lady who made an immediate connection with our 14 month old Labrador, Bertie. Just a 1 hour walking session booked this time following shady paths through our village and in our garden due to very hot conditions but it was clear that Bertie was in very safe hands. Thank you so much Claire!”

Moreover, I know how to select suitable food for cats and dogs. In my former pet store, I regularly prepared nutritious meals for boarded pets. Through years of experience, I've learned that patience and genuine care are paramount in this profession. I am currently a college student studying equestrian-related disciplines at NTU. I have free time every weekend and am more than happy to assist those in need with taking care of their beloved pets at home. I will begin by inquiring about essential details regarding the pet, such as feeding amounts, dog-walking times, play durations, and litter box maintenance. Additionally, I'll attentively listen to the owner's specific requirements. Moreover, I offer complimentary basic health checks for the pets and can provide caregiving advice. After discussing the care plan, I will ensure to fulfill the agreed-upon needs as per our arrangement. I'm also open to sharing video updates of each care session with the owner.

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!

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life, including rescues with nervous and anxious personalities. I’ve owned a Bulldog and now have a Newfoundland, giving me plenty of experience with different temperaments, large and giant breeds. I’m patient, confident and always adapt my care to each individual dog’s needs. I work from home full-time, so I’m around throughout the day to provide plenty of company, attention, walks, playtime and regular toilet breaks. I provide calm, attentive care tailored to each dog’s routine and personality. I’m experienced with nervous dogs and large breeds and prioritise safety.
“William did an outstanding job handling my Malinois, which is often referred to as the Ferrari of dogs, with remarkable obedience and discipline during their walks. Shakira, my dog, really took a liking to him and had a blast playing. It's clear that William has a genuine love for dogs; he even extended the walk beyond what was assigned because of his passion. Whenever William would arrive for their walks, Shakira would be thrilled to see him. The energy and excitement my dog showed say it all—William is truly an experienced and caring walker you can trust with your pooch. And on top of everything, William also shared some valuable walking tips with me.”

“Hayley and Pete were lovely and friendly, asked lots of questions about Bella and what she's like in the home ,on lead ect. Bella is very nervous with new people and they didn't try to push her for a stroke. Having some playmates definitely helped Bella to settle in. Will definitely be using again. Thanks very much Hayley and Pete 🐾”
“We had an amazing experience from start to finish with Lucy. Our frenchie, Nellie, had the best time staying with her and was incredibly well looked after. We really appreciated the photos and updates every day. We could tell Nellie felt at home and at ease staying with Lucy. I would definitely recommend her to anyone wanting their dog to stay in a loving home while you’re away and we have already recommended her to family and friends!!”
“Meisha was absolutely brilliant! She booked a meet and greet for us, and her and Freddy hit it off from the start. We fully trusted Meisha, and Freddy felt so at home there - he even got to visit her family which was super sweet, a real “one of the family” feeling. She went above and beyond to make Freddy comfortable and stick to his usual routines, and knew everything about him (we really appreciated it and knew he was in safe hands). We’ll definitely book Meisha again - can’t thank her enough! x”
“I was more than happy with the service provided by Meg in looking after my terrier at such short notice. The house and facilities were perfect and the regular updates put me at ease. Thank you for looking after my dog.”
“Amy was a fantastic sitter for our cockapoo Freya. She put us completely at ease from our first chat with her, and it's no surprise she's so well reviewed! We'd have no hesitation in using Amy again. Also, her dog Pantu is absolutely lovely!”
About: Dogs have always held a special place in my heart and I have experience with different breeds. I’ve always been around dogs and other animals and love caring for them. Our house has a lovely big garden and a separate area inside for dogs who might want their own space. I am currently at home during school hours so have plenty of time to play with your dogs and take them on walks. Boarding is available during the week and weekends. I have a large, fenced garden and one dog called Nettle who loves to play. However, there is a separate area for dogs who might want their own space. Our house is on a private road and in a quiet area with walks from the doorstep or a very short drive to gorgeous Peak District countryside.
“Spud had such a lovely stay with Sam! Having a reactive dog, it can be challenging to find someone who understands the extra bit of comfort they need to settle but Sam was great. I had regular update pictures of Spud, which really put my mind at ease! I would 100% recommend choosing Sam to care for your pups!”
“Amazing skye loved her time with Tracy and family she was so happy. I got regular updates and photos and videos. It was like home from home and would definitely use Tracy again thankyou”
“Upon meeting for the 1st time Droskyn was happy and content. During his stay we received regular pupdates and photographs and was reassured that Droskyn was well . He had plenty of exercise and play and we were 100% happy with the care he received. I would definitely recommend Linda and Rob if your looking for Homeboarding for your dog. Thankyou so much to you both .”
“Megan has looked after Lola a couple times now and she always comes home a happy girl. Megan keeps us up to date regularly and replies quickly, she sends picture updates to reassure us if we have any questions or just want to check in on how Lola is. Highly recommend using Megan is you’re in the Sheffield area, she is fantastic!”
“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!”
“Percy had a lovely stay with Aneta when we attended a wedding and he came back very chilled and happy. She was kind and thoughtful towards him and me ( firsts time of leaving him) and I would recommend her very much. We will definitely ask her to look after Percy in the future.”
“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.”
