“Molly recently had her trial day with Ann and her husband and loved being with them. Ann’s attention to detail with Mollys routine was exceptional and she came home a happy little doggy. Her next stay is already booked and I know I can go on holiday feeling reassured she will get the best love and care that she does at home. Thanks both.”
“When I met Victoria, she put me instantly at ease with her warm and friendly nature so I knew Oscar would be well looked after and have a wonderful stay. Oscar stayed for 2 nights with Victoria and her son, and he’s seemed quite depressed since he’s been home and back with me! Thank you! Would definitely book again.”
“Laura was absolutely amazing. She kept us updated on how Stan was throughout the weekend and sent us pictures. Stan settled in extremely well and looked extremely comfortable. All I can say is thankyou Laura and that I highly recommended anyone using your services.”
“Sharon and the family were brilliant. We have two rescues, one of which is very shy and quite strange, and they were all fantastic with them both! Could totally tell they were both just happy and relaxed, and really enjoyed their time with the family. They will definitely be coming back to stay!”
“A great experience from start to finish. We had never left our pup with anyone before so we're a little nervous, however from the offset Katie was great. She responded quickly to all messages, agreed to take a short walk with the dog first to introduce him to a new house, looked after him well especially as this was during the heatwave. She kept us updated with photos and as such we were very pleased. We'll have the dog back to stay in no time!”
“We left our 3yo Labradoodle, Honey Bea, in the care of Sorrel for a week in July. Sorrel was superb. Honey only has a little social experience with other dogs and can be a bit nervous. But Sorrel's knowledge and experience really shone through. Throughout the week she kept us updated with text and pictures and, by the end of the week, Honey was happily mixing with Sorrel's dogs, which was an achievement all in itself! All in all, we couldn't be happier with Honey's boarding experience and would recommend Sorrel to other dog owners looking for a trusted place to board their pets. Will definitely use again. Thanks Sorrel! 😊”
“Couldn’t recommend Christina enough! Toto was so well cared for and had so much fun. They kept us updated with a lot of pictures and videos. Great dog sitter, we will be happy to book again!”
“Sharron is lovely! Easy to communicate with and had no problems or ever felt uncomfortable with leaving Ted with her, and he settled in well. Would happily book again.”
“Rosie, our Old Tyme Bulldog, stayed with Amanda and her family for a week while we went on holiday. We would highly recommend her. Amanda and her family clearly love dogs and Rosie had a great time. Amanda sent us regular updates, photos and videos throughout the week so we didn't have to worry whether Rosie was okay as we had videos of her enjoying herself. It was really reassuring. Great communication throughout. Rosie will definitely be staying with Amanda again and we'll be checking her availability before we book our next holiday :-)”
“Patch and simba had a great time with Carl and Clare. With regular photos and updates it put me as ease with it being the first time I had left Simba with someone who wasn’t family. A great meet and greet before hand so they got to meet the dogs and get to know their routine really helped.”
“Andy looked after our dog Lottie overnight and we honestly couldn’t have asked for better care. From the moment we met him, it was clear how kind, trustworthy and genuinely caring he is with animals. Lottie settled immediately and was so happy and relaxed when we collected her. Andy kept us updated, treated her like one of his own, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It’s obvious he truly loves dogs and takes great pride in what he does. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him and will absolutely be using him again in the future. First class in every way!”
“Chewie had a fantastic stay with Tyson and his humans again. Thank you so much to Meg and Chandra for all the photos and for making Chewie feel so at home. Hope he’ll be back for another holiday at your house soon.”
“Lexi loved her stay with Yvette. Lexi can be a little nervous but was comfortable straight away with Yvette and her 2 children because of the environment she created for her. Lexi can’t wait to stay again. Thank you for being so great with her!”
“Richie was well looked after by Sophie and Adam and can definitely tell he had a great time! I was kept up to date with lots of photos and updates throughout the day, would highly recommend and would definitely book with them again!”
“Thank you so much for looking after Luna so well, I loved receiving the photos and videos and updates. Luna was so happy when we picked her up, we would love to leave Luna with you the next time we need a dog sitter ! Thank you ! 100% recommend!”
“Christine is a communicative and caring sitter and is more than willing to put in the time that requires our dog, Brian, to learn to trust and become comfortable in her home. Two visits in and he is starting to come downstairs to see what she is up to, which is right on target based on our previous experience!”
“Just picked Nellie up after a weekend with Lewis. Love the home from home environment where she was well cared for and was sent updates and photos of her stay. Would definitely recommend Lewis. Thank you so much for looking after her 🐕😊”

About: I grew up surrounded by cats, rescuing around 15 over a 10 year span in the Middle East so have lots of feline experience, especially with nervous ones! With months experience working at a vet clinic, I’ve gained lots of knowledge on how to carefully look after cats with the upmost care and compassion to make them feel safe and loved.
About: have a Level 3 Diploma in Dog Grooming and Salon Management that includes a dog first-aid course. I have owned cats for nearly 14 years and have looked after several friends' and family's cats.

Now I have the experience, I am branching out to offer this service on my own. I have experience with nervous and shy cats, as well as boisterous, character-filled cats.
“Meg took wonderful care of our two cats while we were away for the week. She was incredibly attentive, keeping us regularly updated with messages and photos, which gave us great peace of mind. The cats were clearly comfortable and well looked after, and everything was spotless when we got back. We would definitely use Meg again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
“Wish I could give more than 5 stars! I booked Anita to do daily house visits for my two cats while I was away. She was so attentive to the instructions and took such good care of them. They looked so happy and well taken care of in the daily updates / photos she’d send. You can tell she genuinely loves animals. She even did extra visits for me / stayed longer hours at times to keep them company when I asked . She would also message me straight away if she felt anything was off, such as they were eating less, seemed bored etc and she would be willing to whatever was needed to make sure they were okay. I had such a great holiday, didn’t have to worry about the cats at all, as I realised they were in really good hands!”
“Aurelia has been amazing looking after my girls, she's really attentive, communicative and goes out of her way to help whilst you're away. I would absolutely use her again and encourage everyone else to book her too!! Even my fussy cats are a big fan 😁”

“Veronica was fantastic and reliable for looking after our cats and keeping them in good company and care. She was able to work short notice, had excellent communication, so highly recommended!”
“10/10 service. Zoe was incredibly accommodating and adjusted our booking a few times to suit us. Was a last minute booking and she was still happy to take us. Great service, I was so nervous leaving my baby Scout with a new person but Zoe exceeded my expectations and really put my mind at ease. She goes above and beyond and I couldn’t recommend her more!”
“Georgie has great! She arrived on time on both occasions and came for a meet and greet beforehand:) we got photos during the visits and Frankie seemed happy when we got home. Would definitely use again & recommend:)”
“Helen was fantastic! The regular messages and check in's throughout the weekend really put me at ease. Having Helen come to the house took the stress out of leaving the cats at the cattery and they were happier being in their own home. Highly recommend Helen to anyone!”

“Leaving a four-legged much loved family member in a strange environment is quite daunting, however leaving Bella with the wonderful Victoria was just perfect! It’s difficult to find the words express my gratitude and thanks for Victoria’s amazingly wonderful Pup sitting, Bella had a wonderful time and came home wagging her tail, happy and excited! I was kept up-to-date with pictures and a video and a log of walks!! I will use Victoria on a regular basis to look after Bella as I know Bella is in excellent hands!”
“Pluto was very happy with his stay with India. Quite friendly and welcoming she made sure Pluto was comfortable at her place. He clearly enjoyed his day care with India as he looked happy when we picked him up.”
“Laura looked after our very bouncy 15 month old rescue Lurcher, unfortunately he was a tad boystrious with her dogs so had to be separated after a while, he seem to have a lovely time running in and out the garden and making carrot mess and was pretty exhausted once he got home, would definitely recommend”
About: My wife and I both grew up with dogs and have always had them in our lives, so looking after them just feels natural to us. We both work from home, which means there's always someone around for company, cuddles and keeping an eye on things throughout the day. We have a friendly Goldador called Ripley who loves other dogs, so your dog will have a sociable playmate if they enjoy company. At lunchtime, we usually head straight out from our house onto the local fields and footpaths, giving plenty of space to explore, sniff around and burn off some energy. We're also big on keeping dogs mentally stimulated. Ripley has a ridiculous number of puzzle toys and enrichment games, and we're happy for visiting dogs to join in if it's something they'd enjoy. More than anything, we just want dogs staying with us to feel relaxed, have fun and be treated like part of the family while you're away Since we both work from home, your dog will have company all day. We take a proper lunch break walk, usually through the nearby fields. The rest of the day is a mix of play, puzzle toys, and cuddles, just a calm, happy routine that fits around yours. Ripley loves having doggy friends, so if your dog enjoys company, they'll have a built-in playmate. And of course, we always supervise Your dog's safety and comfort are our priority. We have a secure fenced garden for outdoor time. We're happy to follow your dog's normal routine and any training cues you've got. Walks can be on or off lead, but only with your consent and if we're confident it's safe. Ripley is friendly and sociable, and we always supervise introductions to make sure everyone is happy
“Awesome carers and great family. Yu and partner were hands on with Ricco from the minute they met. Ricco settled in with ease and there were a lot of interactions during his stay. Top notch hospitality x”
“Steven has been very reassuring and has put our minds at ease. He gave us regular updates with photos throughout the day without asking. Winnie had a wonderful time considering it was a new environment for her. Could not reccomend Steven enough for his professional and friendly service ☺️”

About: 🐾Get £15 OFF your first booking!🐾 Use code: GABRID21881 at checkout. I am a newly qualified Registered Veterinary Nurse with experience caring for a wide range of animals. Alongside my veterinary nursing training, I have been pet sitting through Rover for the past few months, giving me the opportunity to care for dogs and cats of all ages, breeds and personalities. I love providing pets with the care, attention and reassurance they need while their owners are away. I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pets, and I always aim to make them feel safe, happy and relaxed in their own home. I currently work at a boarding kennels, where I care for dogs every day. My role includes feeding, exercising, cleaning, administering medications when required, monitoring behaviour and ensuring every dog is comfortable, healthy and happy. I have owned dogs and cats for most of my life and currently have an English Bull Terrier puppy called Moose, along with my two cats, Cookie and Colin. Cookie is a senior cat with arthritis, so I have plenty of experience caring for older pets and understanding their individual needs. Living with pets and working as a veterinary nurse has given me a good understanding of animal behaviour, recognising when an animal may be anxious or unwell, and adapting my care to suit each pet’s personality. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles on the sofa or simply sticking to their usual routine, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of love, attention and care while you’re away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and will always keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you can enjoy your time away with complete peace of mind. I currently work mornings and afternoons at a kennels from 7:30am–12pm and 2pm–5pm, with a two-hour break during the day where I can return to care for pets. I’m available before work, during my lunch break and from 5pm onwards in the evening. I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual routine, including feeding schedules and walks. If needed, I can do a morning walk, a walk during my lunch break and an evening walk. For dogs that enjoy more exercise, I’m also happy to take them to paddocks so they can have a safe run around and burn off energy. On Fridays I work an evening shift at a pub, so I would only be available with your pet from around 5pm–6pm before leaving for work and returning around midnight. Because of this I usually avoid Friday bookings, but I’m happy to discuss it with owners if this schedule still suits their pet. On Saturdays I work at the pub from 12pm–6pm, so I’m available in the morning and again in the evening. I am fully available on Sundays. I currently offer pet care in the owner’s home rather than bringing pets to my own home. I find that many animals feel much more relaxed and comfortable staying in their familiar environment, where they have their usual routine, smells and surroundings. My priority is always making sure pets feel safe, calm and well cared for while their owners are away. As a veterinary nursing student, I am confident handling animals safely and recognising signs of stress or illness. I am experienced in administering medication, following specialised diets and making sure pets receive the care and attention they need. I will always follow the owner’s instructions closely to maintain their pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime and rest. I am also very happy to arrange a meet and greet beforehand, such as going for a walk together with the owner and their dog. This allows the pet to get to know me first and helps everyone feel comfortable and confident before any booking.
About: Experienced and reliable dog carer with a strong background in both independent and structured settings. Previously ran a successful dog-walking service and also I’ve spent the past three years pet-sitting and working with dogs across Asia, Australia, Central America, and South America. My experience includes caring for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and needs, as well as hands-on work in dog shelters in Mexico and Australia. Confident in handling multiple dogs, maintaining routines, and ensuring each animal receives attentive, individual care. Working full-time ( mon- fri) with a remote job, the job is not very demanding and doesn’t need me at my desk the whole time so in between tasks I can play around and let them out for a potty break. I care for pets in the owner’s home by maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible, keeping feeding times, walks, play, and rest consistent to reduce stress. I make sure they feel comfortable in their own environment by giving them attention, exercise, and mental stimulation suited to their personality and energy levels. I keep the home clean and organised, follow any specific instructions closely, and monitor their health and behaviour throughout. I also provide regular updates so owners feel confident their pet is safe, settled, and well cared for in their absence.
About: Save £30 on your first booking with my promo code ZOEC43917! Just enter it at checkout to claim your discount. I have experience looking after dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities, from energetic puppies to senior pets and those who are a little more nervous. My priority is making sure every pet feels safe, relaxed, and comfortable in their own environment while sticking as closely as possible to their usual routine. I take the time to get to know each pet and their individual needs, whether that’s taking things a little slower on walks, keeping to a structured routine, or giving extra care and patience to older or more anxious pets. Occasionally, my partner will join me during a house sit to keep me (and the pets!) company. If that isn’t something you’re comfortable with, or you think it wouldn’t suit your pet, just let me know beforehand and I’m more than happy to work around it. While you’re away, I’ll keep you updated with regular photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pets are happy and well looked after. I always make sure they get plenty of attention, companionship, exercise, and affection, so they feel settled until you’re home again. I’m reliable, punctual, and genuinely love caring for animals. I’ll always treat your pets and your home with the same care and respect as if they were my own. I am currently working and studying from home so I am available for all pet needs and services. Caring for pets is already apart of my daily routine having many pets myself. I’m able to care for pets both in my own home and in the pet owner’s home, depending on what is most comfortable for the pet and preferred by the owner. When caring for pets in the owner’s home, I aim to keep their routine as normal as possible. This includes feeding, fresh water, litter tray cleaning, playtime, and any specific instructions such as medication. I also make sure the home is left clean and secure, and I provide regular updates with photos so the owner has peace of mind. When caring for pets in my own home, I provide a safe, calm, and pet-friendly environment. I ensure they have a comfortable space, follow their usual feeding routine, and give them plenty of attention, exercise, and supervision. I treat every pet as if they were my own and make sure they feel relaxed and cared for during their stay. In both cases, my priority is always the pet’s wellbeing, comfort, and safety.

About: I am a genuine animal lover with experience caring for a wide variety of dog breeds, sizes, and personalities. Over the years, I have looked after energetic puppies, senior dogs, and everything in between, always adapting to their individual needs and routines. I understand the importance of providing plenty of attention, exercise, companionship, and a safe environment where pets feel comfortable and secure. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding, playtime, administering basic medications, or simply offering affection and reassurance, I treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to ensure both pets and owners feel confident, happy, and well cared for at all times. I understand that pets are happiest when their usual routine is maintained, so I always adapt my schedule to suit the individual needs of the pet I am caring for. Whether it’s specific feeding times, regular walks, play sessions, medication schedules, or quiet time to relax, I make every effort to follow their normal routine as closely as possible. I take the time to learn each pet’s preferences, habits, and personality to ensure they feel comfortable, secure, and stress-free while their owner is away. My goal is to provide consistent, attentive care that helps pets feel safe, happy, and at home. Safety, trust, and creating a positive environment are my top priorities when caring for pets. I understand how important it is for owners to feel confident that their pets are in safe and reliable hands. I provide a calm, secure, and pet-friendly environment where animals can feel comfortable and relaxed while maintaining their usual routines. I am attentive to each pet’s individual needs, ensuring they are supervised, cared for responsibly, and treated with kindness and respect at all times. I believe in building trust with both pets and their owners through clear communication, reliability, and a genuine commitment to providing the highest standard of care.
About: Hi, I’m Lorron – a friendly, reliable dog lover with over 15 years of experience caring for animals. I’ve always had pets in my life and currently share my home with my crazy (but lovable!) dog, Mowgi. I studied Animal Science at university and now work in the veterinary pharmaceutical industry. Before that, I completed a BTEC diploma in Animal Management and worked in a busy boarding kennel—so I’m confident handling dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. Since having my daughter, I now work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility for dog walking during the day. Whether your dog loves long adventures or just needs a quick stroll, I’m happy to cater to the length and type of walk that suits them best. I always treat dogs like part of the family and make sure they get the attention and care they deserve. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry companion! I’m usually available after 6 p.m. on weekdays and all day on weekends. I often have some flexibility during the week as well, and may be able to adjust my schedule to fit a regular walk for your pet. Feel free to send me a message — I’ll do my best to accommodate your needs! Fenced garden with fields near by. We have one entire male springador called Mowgi. Usually he is pretty indifferent to other dogs but does prefer small to medium over big dogs. We also have one chinchilla.
About: I have had my own dogs for over 30 years and I am also a professional dog groomer. I currently have 2 female Cavapoos of my own. I am available for dog walking I am available for dog walking and drop in visits 7 days a week and this is my only job so can work around your schedule.

About: Extensive and secure garden, full access to the house. Great countryside walks in all directions! I spend all day everyday caring for animals and believe in attention to detail and a lot of fun ☺️ I grew up around animals, and am very proficient in animal care. Walks in the countryside every morning and evening to suit dog's needs. We have great access to rivers, forests and beautiful hills. I study part time and have a lot of free time to devote to caring for lovely dogs! I have a large wall garden (photographed) with electric gates. Very secure. Dogs have access to the whole house and access to the garden at all times. Smaller dogs or dogs with different preferences can do less and have constant supervision. Over the past few years I have fostered dogs, had hound puppies in for summer training, cared for elderly and disabled dogs; as well as full time care of my lovely collie.
About: I have grown up with dogs and have always loved bonding with them and training! In my spare time I train high level obedience and help owners with their dogs I am experienced with a range of dog types and temperaments, first aid trained and DBS checked! I am happy to care for all dogs from happy-go-lucky pets, to puppies, working dogs or dogs with behavioural issues. I am self employed so am always able to fit services, drop ins or walks alongside my work in a time frame to suit you and your dog! I truly believe all dogs are individuals and should be treated as such. Each dog will be cared for according to their individual needs and preferences

“Laura was absolutely amazing. She kept us updated on how Stan was throughout the weekend and sent us pictures. Stan settled in extremely well and looked extremely comfortable. All I can say is thankyou Laura and that I highly recommended anyone using your services.”
“Sharon and the family were brilliant. We have two rescues, one of which is very shy and quite strange, and they were all fantastic with them both! Could totally tell they were both just happy and relaxed, and really enjoyed their time with the family. They will definitely be coming back to stay!”
“We left our 3yo Labradoodle, Honey Bea, in the care of Sorrel for a week in July. Sorrel was superb. Honey only has a little social experience with other dogs and can be a bit nervous. But Sorrel's knowledge and experience really shone through. Throughout the week she kept us updated with text and pictures and, by the end of the week, Honey was happily mixing with Sorrel's dogs, which was an achievement all in itself! All in all, we couldn't be happier with Honey's boarding experience and would recommend Sorrel to other dog owners looking for a trusted place to board their pets. Will definitely use again. Thanks Sorrel! 😊”
“Couldn’t recommend Christina enough! Toto was so well cared for and had so much fun. They kept us updated with a lot of pictures and videos. Great dog sitter, we will be happy to book again!”
“Sharron is lovely! Easy to communicate with and had no problems or ever felt uncomfortable with leaving Ted with her, and he settled in well. Would happily book again.”
“Rosie, our Old Tyme Bulldog, stayed with Amanda and her family for a week while we went on holiday. We would highly recommend her. Amanda and her family clearly love dogs and Rosie had a great time. Amanda sent us regular updates, photos and videos throughout the week so we didn't have to worry whether Rosie was okay as we had videos of her enjoying herself. It was really reassuring. Great communication throughout. Rosie will definitely be staying with Amanda again and we'll be checking her availability before we book our next holiday :-)”
“Patch and simba had a great time with Carl and Clare. With regular photos and updates it put me as ease with it being the first time I had left Simba with someone who wasn’t family. A great meet and greet before hand so they got to meet the dogs and get to know their routine really helped.”
“Andy looked after our dog Lottie overnight and we honestly couldn’t have asked for better care. From the moment we met him, it was clear how kind, trustworthy and genuinely caring he is with animals. Lottie settled immediately and was so happy and relaxed when we collected her. Andy kept us updated, treated her like one of his own, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It’s obvious he truly loves dogs and takes great pride in what he does. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him and will absolutely be using him again in the future. First class in every way!”
“Richie was well looked after by Sophie and Adam and can definitely tell he had a great time! I was kept up to date with lots of photos and updates throughout the day, would highly recommend and would definitely book with them again!”
“Thank you so much for looking after Luna so well, I loved receiving the photos and videos and updates. Luna was so happy when we picked her up, we would love to leave Luna with you the next time we need a dog sitter ! Thank you ! 100% recommend!”
“Absolutely amazing communication and a lovely lovely lady. Buddy had so much fun staying with Ivy, would thoroughly recommend. She kept us informed with videos and messages about him. Thank you Ivy ❤️”
“Absolutely amazing sitters! Looked after Nala as thier own and she made herself so conformable at thier house! We recieved regular updates throughout her 2 weeks stay! Would recommend Richard and Bee to anyone!”
“Lorraine was warm and friendly..a real doggy person. She looked after our boy Rufus really well and was very considerate of him. She kept us up to date with how he was doing and sent us plenty of photos. She looked after him as if he was her own. We would definitely recommend her and use her services again.”
“We were naturally quite anxious about leaving our two dogs overnight, especially as one of them has separation anxiety and, since coming to us as a re-home five months ago, has never been left before. Georgina was incredibly patient, understanding, and reassuring throughout the whole experience. Georgina took the time to make both dogs feel comfortable and kept us updated with messages and photos, which really put our minds at ease. It was clear Georgina genuinely cared about our dogs and made every effort to ensure they felt safe and settled. We collected two happy, well-cared-for dogs, and we’re so grateful for the care and attention they received. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Georgina to anyone, especially if you have a dog who needs a little extra patience and understanding. Thank you for making what could have been a stressful experience such a positive one! We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better first overnight experience.”
“Hannah and Andy were absolutely brilliant - Good communication, did a pre-stay visit to make sure everything was okay - They have a lovely enclosed garden and Beryl and their dog made friends immediately - No hassle, they updated me with pictures and comments, no issues with drop off or pick up, will certainly use them again if necessary.”
“Cash has had an amazing time with Steven and the family. When we arrived with Cash we got a lovely warm welcome. Steven kept me updated with how Cash was doing by sending pictures and regular updates. This reassured me that he was loving his stay and that made me feel happy to know that he was in good hands. I definitely send Cash to Steven again when needed and just want to say thank you so much for the love you have shown to Cash. 😁”
