“Probably the best home care available. Ann gets to know your dogs full routine and needs, then adheres to it. She clearly cares about providing excellent care for the dogs she takes in and looks after them extremely well, whilst keeping you informed on a daily basis of how they are settling and getting on. Going forward should I need my dog boarded, Ann will be 1st choice.”

“Steve and his family were delightful and gave Maimie a lovely ‘home from home’ stay. Steve couldn’t have been more helpful. He gave us confidence from the moment we met him and his lovely dog Laszlo. He was a great communicator and sent through lovely updates and pictures while we were away. Best of all he clearly loves and understands dogs. It’s so great to find someone who is clearly adored by his canine friends! Thanks Steve and family!”
“Emma and her family were very accommodating for our dog Alfie and he has had the best week with them! Emma was very welcoming and understanding of our dogs needs and was a true home from home experience for Alf. Would 100% recommend Emma to anyone, Alfie looks like he has had the best time with daily updates/ photos from Emma during the stay!”
“Amanda and her family looked after our Frenchie really well. I had lots of lovely updates and pictures too. He enjoyed all the cuddles. We wouldn’t hesitate to send him to stay again :)) x”
“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!”
“This was our first time using this service and I have to say I would highly recommend Lorraine, from start to finish she was accommodating with our 2 little pugs! She had them for 2 nights and kept us informed regularly of how they were and when they went for walks putting our minds at rest. I really can’t thank her enough and will definitely go back to her thank you Lorraine!! From Hayley Darren Princess & Betty xx”
“Bethany really looked after our cockapoo well, he was welcomed into their home and we were kept updated with regular pictures. He looked right at home! 💙. I would definitely trust her to look after him again. Thank you.”

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. My boyfriend and his sister run a dog walking and day care business, and I have completed some of the cat visits in recent years as well. 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 was brilliantly friendly and communicative throughout - she helped us feel at ease, reassuring us that our cats would be cared for as her own and this was certainly the case! We are incredibly grateful for her professionalism and caring nature and knew our pets were in good hands.”
“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 😁”
“Jen was fabulous. My 2 re-homed (very spoiled) street cats do not like many people and one doesn’t let many people touch her. Jen sent photos and videos of her being stroked and loving it. Would completely recommend.”
“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:)”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Harborough
Prices are estimates per day for 1 dog. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
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

“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”
“We have been using Claire to look after our dachshund Sid for a few weeks now. Genuinely couldn’t recommend her anymore if I tried! Her lovely home is a second home for all of the dogs. When trying to find somewhere for the first time we were lost and were so cautious. Claire has made us feel at ease by inviting us and Sid into her home with open arms, providing daily updates and her kind personality. Sid has a wonderful time at his home from home and always comes home shattered. Claire gives him so much love and attention and we really appreciate her hard work. Thank you Claire, you are the best! x”
“Steve was fantastic with our puppy Hugo. We needed someone fairly close by and able to take a puppy, as he’s too young for kennels. Steve was really friendly and has an obvious love for animals. He kept us updated throughout the day and whatsapped some great videos. Thanks Steve, will use you again in the future!”
About: As a dedicated pet owner to two dogs and a cat, I have hands-on experience providing attentive and loving care. I’m flexible, dependable, and confident handling a wide range of animals (with the exception of spiders!). My priority is making sure your pets feel secure, comfortable, and cared for—just as they would at home—so you can have complete peace of mind. I am now medically retired so I can completely focus my time on the animals and their needs, so any routine that they require will not be broken, and I am highly flexible also. I treat every pet as if they were my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable and loved at all times. I follow each owner’s routine closely and provide lots of care, attention, playtime and supervision
About: Since the age of 10, my life has been dedicated to animals. Growing up on a farm in Portugal, I was surrounded by the heartbreaking reality of stray animals, which sparked a lifelong mission to help. I couldn't turn a blind eye; I brought home every animal in need—from dogs and cats to injured birds. Eventually, after endless ignored "no more animals after this one" pleas, my parents finally accepted their fate and helped me build dedicated kennels on our farm. Together with the local community, we provided food, medical care, and a safe haven for these animals until we could find them their forever homes. Through these 17 years of rescue work, I didn't just provide care; I studied animal behavior deeply, learning how to communicate with and comfort dogs of all temperaments. Currently, I am the proud parent of two dogs—a Husky and a rescue Collie/Lab—who are my entire world. I know how difficult it is to leave your fur-babies behind, which is why I treat every guest like a member of my own family. When your dog is with me, they can expect: * 🌟 Endless Love & Cuddles: No shortage of affection and sofa time. 🌟 Active Adventures: Frequent walks and play tailored to their energy levels. 🌟 Paddock Time: I live 10 minutes away from a secure paddock where I take my dogs all the time; I'm happy to take yours for a run there too! 🌟 A "Spoilt" Experience: I promise to love and spoil your pups just as much as I do my own. I truly miss the feeling of being surrounded by "fur" and making a difference in an animal's life. I can’t wait to meet your best friend and give them a home-away-from-home experience! I'm currently studying full time from home so your fur baby will never be alone. Walks 3x a day - morning after and evening I go paddocks often especially in good weather and I am happy to take yours along. I offer a safe, loving environment with a fully fenced-in garden for secure playtime. My two friendly dogs provide great company, ensuring your pet never feels lonely. I am experienced with crate training if needed for sleeping or quiet time. Whether in my home or yours, I prioritize a consistent routine, plenty of supervised exercise, and constant attention to keep your fur baby happy and secure.
“Sharon & her family are lovely, kind genuine people. Valle was very happy staying with them & looked after very well. Sharon kept me updated & sent photos. Would definitely recommend her services, it’s obvious she’s a dog lover & her home has a lovely calm, relaxed atmosphere - Valle will definitely be back to stay with them.”
“Carl and Clare went above and beyond to have Henry at short notice during a family emergency. I was reassured the minute I met them - the very definition of 'dog people'! Very thorough pre brief and kept me updated with photos on the day. They took away a lot of stress for me during a very stressful time. Henry had the time of his life with his new gang and slept so long I had to wake him up for his breakfast the next day (unheard of!)”
“I left my very nervous little dog with Amanda for the first time but the photos and videos I received during the visit put my mind at rest, she was obviously having a great time playing with Amanda’s dog Milo. Looking forward to seeing you again soon.”
“So kind and helpful, no matter the amount of questions they helped me every step of the way, lots of updates, quite frankly my girls had far to much fun! 100% will be using again!”

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.

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.

“This was Dagny’s first dog walk with Meg and he had a great experience. Meg was punctual, reliable and I could tell she genuinely cared about the well-being of my dog. Dagny was a happy, well-exercised dog whilst I was away for the day. I also appreciated the updates I received after the walk, via text. It gave me peace of mind knowing Dagny was in good hands. I highly recommend Meg to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker!”

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.

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: 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.

She even washed and dried Safia’s blanket after a little accident without hesitation, such a kind gesture that truly shows how much she cares! Safia clearly felt comfortable and loved with Julia and her family, and it made me so happy to hear how well she got along with everyone 😊 I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better person.

“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.”
“My Aura was cared for by Vicky for four nights. Vicky and her husband did a great job as caregivers. Aura was well-cared for, well-fed, and went for frequent walks. We are very pleased and wholeheartedly recommend Vicky as a caregiver.”
“So looked after, great to get photos and updates of how he was getting on throughout his stay. Looked like he had the best time and came back super chilled and happy. Really grateful and will definitely be booking again in the future as needed.”
