“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 .”
“We felt so relaxed leaving Ralph with Charlotte. Ralph made himself right at home! We got regular updates and reassurance from Charlotte. Such a wonderful farm setting and genuinely nice family. ❤️”
“Fern had the best stay with David and his family this weekend. Lots of walks, fuss, and a visit to the pub! Thank you for sending so many updates (photos / videos) this is Fern’s second time at David’s and I feel safe in the knowledge she is being very well cared for.”
“I am a returning customer and now Charlotte is Beni's fairy Godmother 🥰🐾, helping me out when I need to be whole day out. Beni truly loves to stay with Charlotte, doesn't stress when I leave and I pick my puppy content and relaxed, with plenty of pictures to enjoy about their day. I cannot recommend Charlotte more for care of your beloved pet when you need.”
“Having a business function 5 hours from home and needing to find suitable care for our needy French Bulldog was potentially stressful. So glad we found Cathryn and her wonderfully calming approach. She (and her husband) were super accommodating, communicative, helpful, reassuring. Instantly connecting with Merlin when we dropped him off, and sending photos and messages throughout the evening to reassure. When we are in Staffs again and need repeat care, we will be 100% returning to Cathryn. Highly recommended!!”
“Fantastic dog sitting service from Lisa, Jeff was well looked after and it is clear he enjoyed his time. I got regular updates and photos which helped feel at ease. I would highly recommend Lisa and most certainly be using her dog sitting service again.”
About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for and looking after dogs of all different breeds, sizes and personalities. Over the years, I have gained a great understanding of the responsibility, patience and dedication that comes with caring for dogs and making sure they are happy, healthy and well looked after. At one point, I owned 4 dogs which taught me how to manage different needs, personalities and routines while making sure each dog received plenty of individual attention and care. I have also experienced the very special responsibility of having a female dog give birth to a litter of six puppies. One particularly memorable experience of this was when one of the puppies stopped breathing and I had to act quickly and provide mouth-to-mouth resuscitation to help save its life. Thankfully, the puppy survived, he was a 12 year old toy poodle, still with us living with my mum. This experience showed me just how important it is to remain calm, attentive and prepared when caring for animals. My 10 years of experience have given me a genuine passion for dogs and a strong understanding of how much care, attention and love they need. I take pride in treating every dog as an individual and making sure they feel safe, comfortable and cared for while in my responsibility. I have also been actively training my dog I own with the help of my friend who is a behaviorist. My dog once had issues with resource guarding and lead pulling, both of which is now under control. I’m available to provide your dog with plenty of care, attention and company throughout the day. I’m happy to work around your dog’s normal routine, including their usual feeding, walking, play and rest times. I understand that keeping a familiar routine can help dogs settle, especially when they are staying away from home. I’ll make sure they receive lots of attention and regular care while you’re away. I have a spacious, secure garden and a comfortable home where dogs can relax and feel at ease. I have a friendly 16-month-old Cockapoo who is used to being around other dogs. I always take each dog’s individual personality and preferences into consideration, and introductions can be done gradually and carefully. If your dog prefers their own space, I can also provide separate areas and make sure they have a calm environment where they can settle comfortably.
“Calley looked after my dog, Tuffy, for 16 days, and I honestly couldn’t have left him with a better person. Tuffy has quite a lot of anxiety, and as I had never left him for such a long period of time before, I was worried about how he would cope. From the moment I met Calley, though, her professionalism, knowledge of dog behaviour, calm and caring nature immediately put my mind at ease and reassured me that Tuffy would be in the best hands. Throughout his stay, Calley kept me regularly updated on how Tuffy was doing and what they had been getting up to. Her dog, Bailey, was also such a wonderful little companion for Tuffy, and it was lovely to see how well the two of them were getting along. Tuffy absolutely loved the long walks, playtime in the garden, and all the attention he received. Most importantly, he was very happy and settled during his stay. I’m so grateful to Calley for taking such great care of him, and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their dog. She’ll be the first I’ll reach out to when I need someone to sit Tuffy again. Thank you again Calley! 😊”
“I could not recommend Dina and her little dog Daisy enough ☺️ We did a meet and greet prior to my holiday just to make sure the dogs would get on ok. I knew there would be no issues and was more than happy for my dog to be looked after by Dina. Dina kept me updated with photos throughout the week and I could tell my dog was having a lovely time and was very happy with her surroundings. My dog is 15 so can have days where she’s a little more tired than others but everything was accommodated. A perfect little holiday for my pooch ☺️ 🐾”
“I cannot recommend Jas and Natasha enough for looking after my boy. For such an anxious dog he took to them both straight away when dropping him off. I think he’s got two new best friends now after his few days with them. Will 100% be booking again, thank you both so much 💖”
“Weasley had an amazing stay. Reliable, friendly and trustworthy and both genuine animal lovers. We felt very reassured after our visit that our dog was in the best hands and she came back happy and well looked after 😊 (I hope she didnt try and steal your door stop again 😆) She'll be looking forward to her next sleep over! Thank you 💕”
“This was my first time using this app, first time going on holiday and leaving my boy. Tara is such a lovely, friendly person, offering a complete home from home experience. Myself and my mum were able to enjoy our 11 day holiday knowing our boys were well looked after. We loved the regular updates and pictures that we recieved. I would fully recommend Tara and will definitely be in contact again on our next holiday 😀”

“Ka Yua visited beforehand to meet the dogs. He clearly cares for dogs and was keen to understand what was particular about ours. Ka Yua arrived early, spent a long time playing with the dogs in the garden and sent us plenty of pics & videos of happy, calm dogs. A great help Ka Yua, thanks!”
About: **Caring & Reliable Dog Walker and Pet Sitter in Uttoxeter** I'm a **Fully Insured, DBS Checked Dog Walker & Pet Sitter** and have completed a **Canine First Aid course**. I have experience caring for dogs and cats with different personalities, ages and routines, always adapting my approach to each individual pet. Whether it's a walk, a home visit or pet sitting in your home, my priority is to provide reliable, personalised care while keeping your pet happy, comfortable and following their usual routine as closely as possible. I take the time to get to know every pet's personality, habits and individual needs, so they feel safe, relaxed and enjoy their time with me. I keep owners updated with regular photos and messages, so you can see how your pet is doing while you're away. I'd love the opportunity to meet you and your pet, and to provide the same care and attention I'd want for my own. Pet care is part of my everyday routine and I love it! I walk my own dog every day and I already take two lovely dogs for a walk every lunchtime, so adding more walks or visits fits perfectly into my schedule. I plan my days around the dogs I care for, making sure they get the right amount of exercise, playtime and cuddles Safety and comfort always come first. At the owner’s home, I follow their routine carefully, keeping everything as familiar as possible for the pet. I give fresh water, feed according to instructions, and spend time playing and giving cuddles so they feel happy and relaxed. At my home, dogs are never left unattended, and I have a secure garden where they can safely enjoy some fresh air. I supervise them at all times and make sure walks are always on a lead unless the owner agrees and it’s a safe area.
“5 very happy and calm cats = an excellent sitter. Very impressed with James; his communication and clear desire to care for our furry friends speaks volumes; this was our first time with him and we are very pleased indeed.”
“Rachael took care of Pepper for 3 days and I couldn’t be happier! She clearly loves cats and she takes good care of them ♥️ she is precise, always keeping me updated and sending me pictures (when pepper was not hiding 😂) I highly recommend her and I will call her again at the next opportunity!”
About: I’m a second year vet student with a strong interest in feline health and welfare. While I have not owned cats myself, I have extensive experience caring for cats belonging to family and friends including feeding, administering routine care, providing companionship and maintaining their normal routines while owners are away. Through my veterinary studies I have gained knowledge of cat behaviour, handling, health and welfare and understand the importance of providing patient, attentive care and creating a calm and comfortable environment for every cat.
“Review by Jessica (Aged 7) Megan makes our boys feel safe and looked after. They really enjoy seeing her and love her giving them treats and toys to play with Thank you very much, Megan.”
About: From the moment I got my Dobermann, Mila, in December 2021, I was completely hooked on dogs. Their unique personalities, their boundless energy, and their unconditional love quickly turned me from a dog lover to dog obsessed! When Mila sadly and unexpectedly passed in 2024, I knew I needed to honour her by dedicating more of my life to dogs - especially those still waiting to feel the love she gave me. That’s when I began volunteering at Just for Dogs, a local rescue. For the past year, I’ve spent every Saturday and Sunday walking rescue dogs, giving them much needed human interaction, and helping them build confidence. Even more rewarding has been opening my home to foster some of these dogs - providing them with a safe, loving space where they can adjust to home life and prepare for their forever families. From nervous to confident, tiny to huge, cuddle bugs to playful adventurers, it’s been an honour to play a small role in their journey to happiness. With this experience, I feel confident in offering the very best care for your dog - tailored to their unique needs and personality. Whether it’s long walks, sofa cuddles, playtime, or simply being a calm companion, I’ll make sure your pup feels safe, happy, and loved. I work full-time Monday to Friday, but my flexible hours and ability to work from home mean I can easily fit pet care into my daily routine. This allows me to provide dog walks, drop-in visits, or companionship throughout the day, as well as plenty of attention before and after work hours. I prioritise safety, trust, and a calm environment in every pet care situation. In my home, I ensure dogs have a secure, comfortable space with access to water, toys, and a quiet area to rest. When caring for pets in their own home, I follow the owner’s routines and instructions closely, maintaining a familiar environment and minimising stress for the dog. My goal is always to create a loving, predictable, and safe experience tailored to each pet’s needs.
“Maisie has been wonderful! She really took time with our babies who are not keen on strangers and like to hide. She gave really good report cards and photos. Would definitely book her again!!”
“It has been a complete pleasure having Danielle take care of Maddie. She communicated brilliantly, was very well organised and best of all, when we got back, it was clear when Danielle said goodbye to Maddie that she liked her and trusted her. I would recommend her and have already booked her for our next trip.”

“Charley was amazing and really went above and beyond. My cat is usually cautious with strangers, but Charley was able to gain her trust from the very first visit. She sent me updates and photos every day, so I always knew everything was fine and my cat was in good hands while I was away for two weeks. She also left the house clean and tidy. I will definitely book Charley again and would highly recommend her.”
About: I have two dogs of my own and have been a dog walker for 3 years. I have a certification in pet first aid and am fully insured. I also have a van and offer group walks.

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
About: While my hands-on experience has mainly been with dogs, I've also looked after cats for friends while they were away — feeding them, checking in, and spending time playing with them. I understand cats have their own routines and personalities, and I'm attentive to their comfort, especially when their owners are away. I'm happy to follow specific instructions on feeding schedules, litter care, and any quirks your cat has.

“Steve was a brilliant Dogsitter. Extremely helpful and flexible and so gentle with my dog who can be nervous to stay with. Very responsive communication. Sent lots of photos throughout the day so we knew she was in safe hands. She was very well looked after. Highly recommend!”
“Lorena was friendly from start to finish. She was able to help initially shy Nala to settle within minutes. Lorena has a dog herself, which helped Nala to settle in well, as she loves being surrounded by other dogs. Nala was excited and happy after a stay at Lorena’s, and I would definitely not hesitate to leave my beloved dog in Lorena's careagain, as Nala returned home happy and settled. Such a great place to leave a dog if you're planning to visit Alton Towers during a stay in the Peak District.”
“1st Time using the Rover app for our 6 month old Labrador puppy, decided we would book on with someone who had there own dogs and lots of 5 star reviews. After researching other reviews we picked Charlotte for a couple of reasons she had her own Labrador's and every review was positive. Dropped her off at 9.15 and immediately felt comfortable we had made the correct choice, she was excited to be there and off they went like they were best friends. Charlotte updated us during the day saying she was fine and how well mannered she was with her dogs. Picked her up a 5.30, she came home tired which in my eyes means she had a good day. Would highly recommend Charlotte and be confident your dog will be well looked after in her hands.”
“Highly recommend Phoebe. This was my first time leaving Toby in somebody else's hands so I was abit nervous at first, but she updated me along the way as he spent the full day with her and her 2 pooches. Really lovely and down to earth aswell, will definitely be booking again in the future, no complaints whatsoever - thank you so much!”

“I have only positive views to share about Charlotte: such a friendly and positive person. She came back to my last minute plea for help very quickly and was super efficient on communication, which made my life as a first time pet owner, so much easier. Beni, loved his stay with Charlotte (I can say), the bond was there instantly. I collected a very chilled, happy and relaxed pup. Thank you so much for helping me out with Beni, I am sure Beni would give his two paws up for his pleasant stay and would he need to come back 🥰🐾”

“Cathryn and her family were great with Lola. Looked after her at really short notice and she clearly had a great day being walked and getting lots of cuddles. Would highly recommend!”
“Took care of my boy for a day, provided pictures and communicated well with pictures provided during the stay. Cara did an amazing job of settling Ein in and he was so sad to leave. Highly recommend.”
“I can’t say enough great things about Jenny! From the moment her and her son met my dog River, I knew she’d be in good hands. River can be a little shy with new people, but Jenny’s calm, caring energy immediately put her at ease. I received regular updates, adorable photos, and little notes that showed just how much love and attention River was getting. When I picked River up, she was relaxed, happy, and clearly well taken care of. 10/10 would recommend Jenny to anyone who wants peace of mind and a happy pup!”
About: We’re proud, happy owners of our mini dachshund, Daisy, who is 7 years old and truly part of our family. Before Daisy, we shared many wonderful years with our standard dachshund, Bella. When Bella sadly passed away, we felt a huge hole in our hearts and in our home—bringing Daisy into our lives helped heal that space and reminded us just how special the bond with a dog can be. Because dogs are family to us, not just pets, we treat every dog in our care with the same love, respect, and attention we give our own. Daisy goes everywhere with us, and our lifestyle naturally revolves around being dog-friendly—walks, outings, routines, and home life are all designed with dogs in mind. Our experience includes: Caring for dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to senior dogs Understanding breed-specific needs, especially dachshunds Providing calm support for anxious or sensitive dogs Creating a true “home away from home” environment We don’t just watch dogs—we welcome them into our family while you’re away. Pet care is a natural part of our everyday life—it’s built into our routine, not something we squeeze in around other priorities. We’re a family of three dog lovers—two adults and our 17-year-old son—and our days already revolve around our own dog, Daisy. I’ve just completed my bachelor’s degree and am now pursuing my master’s online, which means I’m home most of the time and able to give dogs constant attention, supervision, and care. Because someone is always home: Dogs are never left alone Walks, playtime, feeding, and cuddles happen on a steady, relaxed schedule Anxious dogs get calm companionship and reassurance Our home is quiet, stable, and dog-focused. Pet care isn’t a side task for us—it’s part of how we live every day. When pets stay in our home, they become part of our family routine. We focus on keeping their days calm, happy, and as close as possible to what they’re used to at home. Our house has a large, secure garden that dogs can access throughout the day for fresh air, play, and toilet breaks. Whether they love running around, sunbathing, or just sniffing everything in sight, they have plenty of space to enjoy safely. We also live just a few minutes’ walk from the Burton riverside, which is perfect for relaxed walks, longer adventures, and letting dogs explore new sights and smells in a safe, natural setting. Daily care includes: Regular feeding based on your dog’s normal schedule Plenty of outdoor time in our garden Walks suited to your dog’s age, energy, and health Playtime Quiet rest time and lots of affection If caring for a dog in their own home, we follow their usual routine as closely as possible—same feeding times, walk routes, rules, and habits—so they feel secure and comfortable while you’re away.

“Absolutely amazing! Molly took care of my little diva for a daycare and she had an absolute fun! Even met Molly’s daughters. Molly sent updates and was absolutely responsive and sent a video in her massive garden - plenty for my lil fluff ball to run around especially with her energy levels being on the roof after the long drive. Molly was accommodating when we came in. Showed us the space bella can roam around. Definitely recommend booking her. I’ll be using her services again in the future! Thanks molly! Xx”

I have my own friendly dog, so I always arrange a meet-and-greet beforehand to make sure the dogs are comfortable together. I treat every dog as part of the family and will follow their usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime and plenty of cuddles. I also have a 6-year-old son, so I only take dogs who are suitable for a family home. Your dog will receive plenty of attention and won’t simply be left on their own for long periods. I’ll keep you updated during their stay with photos and messages so you can relax knowing they’re happy and well cared for.

“Charlie is absolutely lovely to work with. She's punctual, approachable, and Harris took to her straight away which is rare as Harris usually cautious with new people. We are so happy to have found Charlie and are excited for many more walks as well as potential house sitting in the future. Highly recommend her!”
“There aren’t enough stars to put on this app for Kirsten. Firstly on a human level - she’s amazing. She managed to work around our late booking and our dynamic timetable over the weekend to help us with 2 walks for Harley. She’s a genuinely nice person and instils the trust you need to leave your beloved fur baby with someone. More importantly - Harley adored her. The moment she walked in he was overcome with giddy puppy energy - folding himself over for her to get all the good strokes. He had 2 lovely walks and Kirsten provided us with a breakdown and photos of each walk which was great. We will definitely be using Kirsten again in the future - although hopefully with a little more forward planning from ourselves.”
About: I am a second year veterinary student with a lifelong passion for animals and hands-on-experience caring for a wide range of pets. Growing up with animals, I have trained my own dogs and regularly care for family, friends and neighbours dogs. Through my veterinary studies, I have developed knowledge of animal behaviour, handling, health and welfare allowing me to easily spot if any health issues arise in your pet. I have also completed placements at a dog and cat boarding kennel and an animal rescue centre giving me practical experience working with animals of different ages, temperaments and needs. I provide reliable and compassionate care, treating every pet as if they were my own. I have recently completed my second year of veterinary studies and am available for pet care from now until 28th September. My schedule is highly flexible including week days and weekends allowing me to accommodate a wide range of pet care needs. Please note that I have veterinary placement commitments during the weeks commencing 17th august and 24th august 2026. During these two weeks, I will be available on weekday evenings after 6pm and throughout the weekends. Outside of these dates, I am available throughout the day and can offer a high degree of flexibility to suit owners schedules. When caring for pets in their own home, I prioritise maintaining their usual routine to help them feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. I follow all instructions provided regarding feeding, exercise medication and any specific care requirements ensuring each pet receives attentive and individual care. I take the time to provide companionship, enrichment and exercise appropriate to the pets needs while monitoring their health and wellbeing. As a veterinary student, I am familiar with animal behaviour allowing me to recognise signs of stress, illness or discomfort and respond appropriately. I also treat owners houses with respect, keeping the area clean and tidy and providing regular updates and photos for peace of mind. My aim is to ensure both pets and owners feel relaxed and confident throughout the pet sitting experience.

Thankyou so much to you both .”

About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for and looking after dogs of all different breeds, sizes and personalities. Over the years, I have gained a great understanding of the responsibility, patience and dedication that comes with caring for dogs and making sure they are happy, healthy and well looked after. At one point, I owned 4 dogs which taught me how to manage different needs, personalities and routines while making sure each dog received plenty of individual attention and care. I have also experienced the very special responsibility of having a female dog give birth to a litter of six puppies. One particularly memorable experience of this was when one of the puppies stopped breathing and I had to act quickly and provide mouth-to-mouth resuscitation to help save its life. Thankfully, the puppy survived, he was a 12 year old toy poodle, still with us living with my mum. This experience showed me just how important it is to remain calm, attentive and prepared when caring for animals. My 10 years of experience have given me a genuine passion for dogs and a strong understanding of how much care, attention and love they need. I take pride in treating every dog as an individual and making sure they feel safe, comfortable and cared for while in my responsibility. I have also been actively training my dog I own with the help of my friend who is a behaviorist. My dog once had issues with resource guarding and lead pulling, both of which is now under control. I’m available to provide your dog with plenty of care, attention and company throughout the day. I’m happy to work around your dog’s normal routine, including their usual feeding, walking, play and rest times. I understand that keeping a familiar routine can help dogs settle, especially when they are staying away from home. I’ll make sure they receive lots of attention and regular care while you’re away. I have a spacious, secure garden and a comfortable home where dogs can relax and feel at ease. I have a friendly 16-month-old Cockapoo who is used to being around other dogs. I always take each dog’s individual personality and preferences into consideration, and introductions can be done gradually and carefully. If your dog prefers their own space, I can also provide separate areas and make sure they have a calm environment where they can settle comfortably.
“Calley looked after my dog, Tuffy, for 16 days, and I honestly couldn’t have left him with a better person. Tuffy has quite a lot of anxiety, and as I had never left him for such a long period of time before, I was worried about how he would cope. From the moment I met Calley, though, her professionalism, knowledge of dog behaviour, calm and caring nature immediately put my mind at ease and reassured me that Tuffy would be in the best hands. Throughout his stay, Calley kept me regularly updated on how Tuffy was doing and what they had been getting up to. Her dog, Bailey, was also such a wonderful little companion for Tuffy, and it was lovely to see how well the two of them were getting along. Tuffy absolutely loved the long walks, playtime in the garden, and all the attention he received. Most importantly, he was very happy and settled during his stay. I’m so grateful to Calley for taking such great care of him, and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their dog. She’ll be the first I’ll reach out to when I need someone to sit Tuffy again. Thank you again Calley! 😊”
“I cannot recommend Jas and Natasha enough for looking after my boy. For such an anxious dog he took to them both straight away when dropping him off. I think he’s got two new best friends now after his few days with them. Will 100% be booking again, thank you both so much 💖”
“Weasley had an amazing stay. Reliable, friendly and trustworthy and both genuine animal lovers. We felt very reassured after our visit that our dog was in the best hands and she came back happy and well looked after 😊 (I hope she didnt try and steal your door stop again 😆) She'll be looking forward to her next sleep over! Thank you 💕”
“Fergus had the best stay!! Venetia and Chris were lovely hosts for Fergus, very accommodating and love the company of dogs. Fergus has lovely long walks, played fetch and chilled in front of the fire. Will definitely be using them again in the future!”
“Dougie went very well with Calli, Richard, Kiki and Rupert on the trial we've had last night and we are very pleased. We've had updates and video with Dougie settling in as new boarding place for him. We have booked another week in February and looking forward for our friend to spend more time there when we are away. Thank you so much for everything.”
“Coco had a wonderful stay with Megan, she was very attentive, sent updates and they had a great time on a long walk. I think Coco has a new best friend! Will definitely book again.”
“Henry has once again thoroughly enjoyed his stay with Josie & Kieran. We received regular updates which always made us smile and they meant we could enjoy our holiday with the piece of mind that he was being so well cared for.”
“Louise is a fantastic dog carer. While we were away she looked after Ruby, alongside her own dog. Ruby slept very well and didn't wake the family. Louise kept us in the loop as to activities with Ruby and provided us with numerous photos which was great. She also text us to make sure of keeping her safe when out and about on the lead and off the lead. When we picked Ruby up she appeared very happy and healthy. We would throughly recommend Louise to anyone, as she quite clearly loves dogs and was a natural with Ruby and am sure Ruby would love another visit with this lovely family 100%. Thank you very much Louise and family and Bruno too xx”
“Fantastic, thank you we felt very relaxed with all the updates you sent of how the boys were doing. We know that the boys can be a handful, especially Dilly as he never stops playing ball and they both want attention all the time. Such a friendly, welcoming and relaxed house hold where nothing was too much trouble to help ensure the boys had a great stay. They can’t wait to stop again!!!”
