“Liga provided the perfect home for our dog, Jack, while we were away for 2 days. He has very specific dietary needs and she was meticulous following them even with other dogs to care for as well. Her communication was stellar and Jack had an amazing time. Would absolutely recommend her as a dog sitter/boarding.”
“I don't like leaving our dog anywhere really but I did feel confident that he was in safe and caring hands leaving him at Tara's. I received pictures and videos of him whilst we were away and it was great to see him enjoying himself. Thank you!”
“Hunny had a great time with Lottie over the weekend. They went on nice long walks and she came back very worn out 😅. She was very quick to reply to messages. I would have liked more photos/communication during her stay but also I didn't ask! Over all happy and would book again :)”
“Abbie took our Pomeranian Coco into her home and treated her as one of the family. Abbie kept me updated sending photos and videos putting our mind at ease and Coco had a ball of a time. We will definitely book Abbie again when we go on holiday.”
“After dropping Latrell off I received regular updates and photos from Paige which really put my mind at ease and it was clear Latrell was happy and having lots of fun with her and her extremely cute cockapoos Malibu and Cleo. When I picked Latrell up he was relaxed and in no rush to leave which was great to see. I’m very grateful for the updates and attention Paige gave to Latrell throughout his stay. I will defiantly book again when I needs someone to look after him and I would highly recommend Paige to anyone looking for someone that they can trust to look after there dog like there own.”
“Cordelia was amazing as always, she’s our favourite sitter and Thor’s too! Such a lovely girl and you can see how much she cares for animals - she treats Thor as her own and he can’t wait to come back next week for another visit🥰”
About: Growing up woth working dogs has led to me being experienced in all manners of high energy dogs. I myself grew up with a pointer and a Spaniel, both of whom needed hour long walks and lots if enrichment, which are both things that I'd be happy to offer potential customers. I love all dogs and aren't as weak as I look so don't be afraid to enquire if you have a large breed! I also live with a cat who is kept enriched and loved, so would be very happy to offer walks for cats as well as dogs. I work full time as a dog welfare assistant at dogs trust but will be available most evenings and all day Saturday and Sundays. I'm also happy to house sit during my work week for dogs or cats that are able to be left for a few hours. I will care for every pet left in my care as if it's my own, but will of course refer to any and all instruction given by the owner.
“It was our first time having a sitter for Spark and I felt really reassured when meeting Tarnya. She clearly has alot of experience with dogs and I knew that Spark would be well looked after. Thanks so much for looking after him, I'm sure he will be back soon!”
“Leaving Simba with Fozia was the best experience ever. I was a little concerned about leaving Simba because Fozia has her own dog. The first day was all about them getting to know each other, but after that they became the best of friends! Fozia kept us updated throughout Simba’s stay with clear messages and lots of photos, which was absolutely amazing. We missed Simba so much, and seeing those pictures really reassured us that he was happy, relaxed, and being so well looked after. It put our minds completely at ease. I wouldn’t hesitate to leave Simba with Fozia again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone caring and trustworthy to look after their dog. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of our boy 🥰🙏”
“Jade was absolutely amazing with my dog Logan, a very energetic Staffordshire bull terrier! He can be a bit full on when you first meet him, but Jade handled his energy with ease and made him feel right at home. She kept in great contact leading up to his stay and throughout his visit, sending a lovely video and some adorable photos that showed me he was settling in well. Even though it was just 2 days, I could tell Logan was really well looked after. I'll definitely be booking with Jade again- Highly recommended!”
“We contacted Elizabeth at very short notice and honestly couldn’t have asked for anyone better to look after Romeo. She was incredibly quick and reassuring with her replies from the beginning, and Romeo clearly had the best time with her. She kept us updated throughout his stay with lots of photos, which was such a lovely touch and completely put our minds at ease. We felt totally comfortable knowing he was being so well looked after. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Elizabeth again and would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can genuinely trust with their dog. Thank you so much again 😊”

“I can't thank Chloe enough for taking good care of my cat. Chloe was very easy to communicate with, we had to change times and dates due to me moving house too and she really helped and was very flexible. I was constantly updated on how my cat was settling and really nice pictures. Made me happy and I could just relax knowing she was being well care for. Will 100% book again!!”
“Fantastic love, care and attention to our family dog Jax. Jax is a big boxer, and is a lot of energy and I’m always worried when I book a sitter. Stephanie sent loads of pictures, really quick to respond and clearly has a genuine love for all animals. Would recommend whole heartedly. Thank you”

We’ve looked after dogs all shapes and sizes over the years ranging from puppies to mastiffs. The dogs tend to use me for my bed and cuddles! I’m currently looking for a full time remote/hybrid job after travelling for 6 months so will have plenty of time for your pups. I’m available for dog sitting and walking every day of the week at the moment. I’m very used to looking after dogs with different needs in our house and can easily accommodate for your dogs needs in the comfort of their own home.
“Can't recommend Pricilla enough for dog boarding! Cleo is small and shy dog, so I was really nervous. But Pricilla was amazing from day one — sent daily photos and updates which kept me sane, and Cleo actually seemed to enjoy herself. She really got Cleo's shy personality. When we picked her up she was relaxed and happy, not stressed at all, which is huge for such a nervous dog. If you need someone trustworthy for an anxious dog, go with Pricilla. We'll definitely book again!”

“Dawn is truly exceptional! Her loving and caring nature shone through when she went the extra mile for us. She successfully medicated our cat, who isn't the most compliant patient, twice a day for 10 days straight, even when he put up a fight. Five stars are probably not enough!”
“Phoebe has been absolutely brilliant, every step of the way. She answered questions quickly and it was really straight forward to arrange the booking. Our cat was very well looked after and it was clear to see how happy he was in the photos and videos Phoebe sent. I was very confident leaving him in Phoebe's care and she will be my first choice of pet sitter in the future.”
“Sarah and my cat got on famously and Sarah sent me twice daily photos and updates. Sarah went above and beyond whilst I was away by taking Barbs to the vets outside of our original arrangement as my daughter was unable to take her. I would highly recommend Sarah to care for your pet”

“We had a fantastic experience with Mara, while she house sat and looked after our two cats for a couple of nights. From the start, she was friendly, reliable, and easy to communicate with, which immediately put us at ease. She took excellent care of our cats, making sure they were well-fed, comfortable, and given plenty of attention. It was clear they were happy and relaxed when we returned, which says a lot. She also treated our home with great respect and left everything clean and tidy. We really appreciated the updates and photos while we were away it made a big difference knowing everything was going so well. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter, and we’d be very happy to have her back again in the future.”

About: As a lifelong dog enthusiast, I'm the proud parent of a 5-year-old Springer Spaniel and 3-year-old Cocker Spaniel, so I understand the unique energy levels and needs of active breeds. What sets me apart is my commitment to professional development in dog care. I hold a Level 3 Canine First Aid certification through iPET Network, giving pet parents peace of mind knowing their furry family member is in capable hands should any situation arise. As an aspiring dog trainer, I'm actively expanding my knowledge and skills in canine behavior and positive reinforcement techniques. My experience spans puppies to senior dogs, and I understand that each dog has unique personality traits, exercise needs, and comfort levels that require a personalized approach. Working as a writer from home gives me exceptional flexibility to accommodate your pet's needs. I set my own hours and can easily adjust my schedule around dog walks, drop-in visits, and pet care sessions. My home-based work means I'm typically available throughout the day and can provide updates and photos during longer visits. I understand that pets thrive on routine, so I'm happy to work around your dog's established schedule and your family's needs. Safety is my top priority in every interaction. With my Level 3 Canine First Aid certification, I'm prepared to handle any medical situations that might arise, from minor cuts to more serious emergencies. I always carry a basic first aid kit during walks and visits. For drop-in visits at your home, I respect your space and follow your specific instructions to the letter. I'll maintain your dog's routine, use their familiar toys and feeding equipment, and ensure your home is secure when I leave.

About: Hi there! I’m Phoebe, a qualified veterinary nurse of 5 years. I have worked within the veterinary industry for 8 years. As a vet nurse specialising in emergency and critical care, I am dedicated to catering to pets with extra or special needs. I understand the unique conditions and requirements that some pets may have, and I strive to provide the highest level of care to meet those needs. I’ve also had the pleasure of working with the Greyhound Trust, where I learned the importance of compassion and dedication in animal care. Additionally, my time at a boarding kennel has given me hands-on experience with a variety of pets, ensuring they receive the love and attention they deserve. I’m passionate about providing the best care for your furry friends and look forward to meeting them! My current schedule is 7 days on and 7 days off. So having every other week off means I spend a lot of time at home! During my 7 days on I work from 15:30 - 00:00. I can care for pets during my week when I am working too if this suits your pet’s needs. I have a 3 bedroom property with a garden that has a large fence around it. I myself have two friendly dogs. Introductions will be made to ensure compatibility with pets. While I am happy to accept raw-fed dogs, I am unable to feed them raw food during their stay with me for the safety and comfort of all pets in my care. I kindly request that raw food not be brought into my home. However, I am happy to cater to raw-fed pets in their own home to ensure their needs are met while under my care.
About: Caring for dogs isn’t just something I do, it’s genuinely the thing that makes me happiest. I’ve been pet sitting and providing care for the last four years, but my experience with dogs started long before that. I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and honestly can’t imagine life without them in it. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routines and little quirks, and I love getting to know what makes each one unique. Whether your dog is energetic and loves adventures, enjoys long walks and playtime, or is happiest curled up having cuddles and company, I make sure they feel comfortable, safe and loved while they’re with me. I know how important it is to leave your pet with someone you trust because they’re family, not just pets. I treat every dog in my care the way I would want someone to treat my own, with patience, attention, affection and genuine care. I truly couldn’t imagine doing anything else. Spending my days around dogs, is what I love the most. I am currently working through a canine care, behaviour and welfare course from home. So I have plenty of time to love and care for your dogs as my main priority. Tell me all about your dog and their routine so I can create a home from home for them to feel safe and welcome and you to feel at ease that your fur baby is being loved and cared for. For me, trust and safety always come first because I understand that leaving your dog with someone else is a huge decision. I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing your dog is in a loving, secure environment where they’ll be cared for as if they were my own. I have four dogs myself, ranging from 4 to 12 years old, and they’ve been around all kinds of dogs over the years. They’re gentle, friendly, playful and have met dogs of all ages, sizes and personalities. They absolutely love making new friends and are great at helping visiting dogs feel welcomed and settled into the home. I live in a small, quiet village surrounded by fields, which means walks and adventures are endless. There’s plenty of space for dogs to explore, enjoy new smells, stretch their legs and simply be dogs. Whether your dog loves exciting walks and discovering new places, or prefers slower strolls taking everything in, there’s always somewhere peaceful and enjoyable for them. My home is full of experience, routine and understanding of dog behaviour. I know that every dog is different — some run in and make themselves at home immediately, while others need a little extra reassurance and time to adjust. I pay close attention to each dog’s comfort, body language and needs so they always feel safe and supported. More than anything, I aim to create an environment where dogs don’t just stay — they belong. A place where they can play, explore, relax, receive lots of affection and enjoy being part of everyday family life while you have complete peace of mind knowing they’re happy and cared for. 🐾 *i am fully insured*

With a nurturing, family-style approach and over 10 years of pet care experience, your dog is treated like part of the family—because they are.
About: Hi, my name is Sim, I'm 25 years old, I work full time but on shifts so I have a range of availability based upon my shift patterns. I've got experience in sitting and walking different breeds, and I'm a big breed lover having my own 3 at home! (3 German shepherds!) Currently I do occasionally dog sit for friends and family, typically their dogs stay over with my 3 dogs who love having friends over! So what sets me apart from other walkers and sitters? Well, I love dogs, I've had 5 years of experience (on and off), all my dogs have been adopted and rehomed - so I've worked with a variety of different dogs with different needs. Recently fostering a dog for 3 months and got her trained up before she went to her new home which she's succeeding in! I own a car so I'm happy to travel. And with your permission if you leave your dog with me over night or for a few days, I can take them to locations such as the Peak District to get some quality time in, otherwise to the local parks and nature reserves. 😁 I do have a really big garden which is fenced off. If we require use of a create then we can encourage that with your dog, we just request to provide a bed or item that your dog is currently familiar with to keep in the crate if crate time is required, we want to keep the environment as familiar as possible to help reduce anxiety. My house has multiple cameras situated throughout the property, inside and outside for peace of mind. I work full time but I work different shifts weekly but I know what I'm working well in advance, and I have my partner to lend a hand. Large garden fenced off, cameras around the house and the outside the house so we have eyes on the property at all times. But someone will always be home.
About: Hi! I'm Sarah and I've been sitting for over 10 years, no pets or children, I drive and ideally looking for house sits. I would be home full time. I have an Enhanced DBS certificate (highest clearance) on the DBS Update Service and am sitter insured. Pet/house sat all over. Grew up with dogs, cats, fish, hamsters and turtles (not all at the same time!). Happy to meet beforehand to see how we gel. That's about it really. Any questions, feel free to ask. Happy hunting! When I am looking after your pets, I am not working so my focus is completely on your pets and your homes. Look forward to meeting you 😁 I do not have any pets so there are no issues if you're pets are a bit shy or want all the attention for themselves!
About: I recently obtained my Level 2 certificate in animal welfare which allows me to provide an extra level of care to your dog. My understanding of their needs is much greater since accomplishing this also due to the work experience in a busy dog day care, I was quickly brought up to speed managing up to 20 dogs! I have always been passionate about dogs ever since I became a young dog mum, I took my boarder collie dog training when I was 13 and created a fabulous bond which will last a million lifetimes! She lived well into her senior age of 18 where I met all her senior needs 🥰 Unfortunately last year she passed but I loved every minute of being a dog mum so now I'm using my passions to provide a safe and loving environment for other dogs to enjoy as a fun doggy holiday. I am always walking and hiking, I am also a self employed hair dresser which means I am often at home or not far from it. I have a huge secure garden, which is often referred to as a doggy's paradise! I live in a detached barn conversion with a 360 garden. I have an open plan house, with hard floors perfect for dogs. I live 2 minutes from a park and not far from Leicester centre.
About: Growing up woth working dogs has led to me being experienced in all manners of high energy dogs. I myself grew up with a pointer and a Spaniel, both of whom needed hour long walks and lots if enrichment, which are both things that I'd be happy to offer potential customers. I love all dogs and aren't as weak as I look so don't be afraid to enquire if you have a large breed! I also live with a cat who is kept enriched and loved, so would be very happy to offer walks for cats as well as dogs. I work full time as a dog welfare assistant at dogs trust but will be available most evenings and all day Saturday and Sundays. I'm also happy to house sit during my work week for dogs or cats that are able to be left for a few hours. I will care for every pet left in my care as if it's my own, but will of course refer to any and all instruction given by the owner.
About: During lockdown, I walked my neighbour's dog, a massive Bernese mountain dog, a few times per week. It was the best part of my week and I really enjoyed it. I then worked at an animal sanctuary for months, home to seven dogs ranging from Spanish mastiff to Australian shepherd. I walked these dogs weekly for about 5 months. Since I left home to study at university, I have missed that companionship and would like to spend my free time with four-legged friends! I study veterinary medicine and have the opportunity to arrange some parts of my schedule according to my availability. This means I can be somewhat flexible around my working hours to accommodate your pet's needs. I can take your dog on various walks around the neighbourhood. I provide provide drop-in visits, house-sitting as well as dog walking and will do my best to provide a safe and enjoyable environment for your pet.
About: I’ve had dogs since the age of 2. I’ve dog sat for my friends, auntie, and new clients through Rover. Including, walking, feeding, grooming/bathing, playing, etc. I’m a loving dog mum who’s done tonnes of researching on various breed fulfilment. I enjoy researching about the needs of various breeds and will cater to your doggo. I’ve done various dogs trust training classes with my pups as well as working with a private award winning dog trainer. I love to meet up prior to providing services to get to know both owner and dogs, this way I create a great relationship and learn more about your pet directly… especially if they are quirky like mine! 😁 Currently my schedule is wide open. I’m undergoing an online course that can be completed in my own time. On the weekend, generally I wake up early, play some games with my dogs, they nap, then we go for a walk, I feed them and then do some training, and finally bedtime. I love to take them hiking or swimming or to a private dog park to do some agility too. I have plenty of spare crates and a fenced off garden that the dogs can run around and play in. If our dogs don’t get along which can sometimes happen, I have a separate household that can take care of mine whilst I take care of your dog(s). Although this is dependent on the timescale, I’m willing to compromise. I have plenty of enrichment games such as snuffle mats, food dispenser games, dog treat puzzles and various toys. So your dog will not be bored!

“Liga provided the perfect home for our dog, Jack, while we were away for 2 days. He has very specific dietary needs and she was meticulous following them even with other dogs to care for as well. Her communication was stellar and Jack had an amazing time. Would absolutely recommend her as a dog sitter/boarding.”
“I don't like leaving our dog anywhere really but I did feel confident that he was in safe and caring hands leaving him at Tara's. I received pictures and videos of him whilst we were away and it was great to see him enjoying himself. Thank you!”
“Hunny had a great time with Lottie over the weekend. They went on nice long walks and she came back very worn out 😅. She was very quick to reply to messages. I would have liked more photos/communication during her stay but also I didn't ask! Over all happy and would book again :)”
“Abbie took our Pomeranian Coco into her home and treated her as one of the family. Abbie kept me updated sending photos and videos putting our mind at ease and Coco had a ball of a time. We will definitely book Abbie again when we go on holiday.”
“After dropping Latrell off I received regular updates and photos from Paige which really put my mind at ease and it was clear Latrell was happy and having lots of fun with her and her extremely cute cockapoos Malibu and Cleo. When I picked Latrell up he was relaxed and in no rush to leave which was great to see. I’m very grateful for the updates and attention Paige gave to Latrell throughout his stay. I will defiantly book again when I needs someone to look after him and I would highly recommend Paige to anyone looking for someone that they can trust to look after there dog like there own.”
“Cordelia was amazing as always, she’s our favourite sitter and Thor’s too! Such a lovely girl and you can see how much she cares for animals - she treats Thor as her own and he can’t wait to come back next week for another visit🥰”

“It was our first time having a sitter for Spark and I felt really reassured when meeting Tarnya. She clearly has alot of experience with dogs and I knew that Spark would be well looked after. Thanks so much for looking after him, I'm sure he will be back soon!”
“Leaving Simba with Fozia was the best experience ever. I was a little concerned about leaving Simba because Fozia has her own dog. The first day was all about them getting to know each other, but after that they became the best of friends! Fozia kept us updated throughout Simba’s stay with clear messages and lots of photos, which was absolutely amazing. We missed Simba so much, and seeing those pictures really reassured us that he was happy, relaxed, and being so well looked after. It put our minds completely at ease. I wouldn’t hesitate to leave Simba with Fozia again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone caring and trustworthy to look after their dog. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of our boy 🥰🙏”
“Jade was absolutely amazing with my dog Logan, a very energetic Staffordshire bull terrier! He can be a bit full on when you first meet him, but Jade handled his energy with ease and made him feel right at home. She kept in great contact leading up to his stay and throughout his visit, sending a lovely video and some adorable photos that showed me he was settling in well. Even though it was just 2 days, I could tell Logan was really well looked after. I'll definitely be booking with Jade again- Highly recommended!”
“coco had an amazing stay he loved it we received lots of updates during his stay with daily photos and videos I would 100% recommend for your pets stay I will be defiantly be rebooking again in the future”
“Fantastic love, care and attention to our family dog Jax. Jax is a big boxer, and is a lot of energy and I’m always worried when I book a sitter. Stephanie sent loads of pictures, really quick to respond and clearly has a genuine love for all animals. Would recommend whole heartedly. Thank you”
About: I have a 9 year old black Labrador who is the family pet and have been helping my mum with doggy day care and dog boarding for over 2 years now. We’ve looked after dogs all shapes and sizes over the years ranging from puppies to mastiffs. The dogs tend to use me for my bed and cuddles! I’m currently looking for a full time remote/hybrid job after travelling for 6 months so will have plenty of time for your pups. I’m available for dog sitting and walking every day of the week at the moment. I’m very used to looking after dogs with different needs in our house and can easily accommodate for your dogs needs in the comfort of their own home.
“I booked in a three night stay for my two year old Staffy, Ruby, who can be quite anxious / sensitive. From the very first meeting it was clear just how much Emma not only cared about animals, but also how much she wanted to learn about Ruby, her training and routine, to really make sure her stay was tailored around the least disruption possible. She had great body language, tuned in to Ruby very quickly, and had a calm, beautiful home with a lovely family in the middle of the countryside which was perfect. Booking was easy with natural, chatty messages, and Emma was super accommodating around days / times that worked. Daily updates were detailed and always had photos, and I felt entirely comfortable the entire time. Could not have asked for a better experience, would book again in a heartbeat. Thank you so much!”

“Wish we could give 10 stars! What can we say about Steve and his care of our precious but super lively bundle of fun? From the moment we contacted Steve, he has been great at communication, we had an initial meeting- within seconds we could tell Steve is a man who loves dogs. The outstanding behaviour of his own dog, Laszlo shows he has great knowledge. When Storm stayed with Steve for a week, we had regular, twice daily updates, photos and videos, and could easily tell the our Storm was content and having a great time. Without any doubt at all we will ask Steve to step in again when we are looking for someone to look after our boy, I have total confidence in him and his family, who all welcomed Storm into their home. Thanks, Steve, it has made all the difference going away feeling confident our boy will be having a great holiday too!”
“Olivia is a great dog border, my dog loves spending time with her and her family; she gets fussed just as much as we do at home. This is my second booking with Olivia and she is going to be our go to for when we travel and are not able to take our dog with us. I would highly recommend her.”
“Leah was very responsive and gave us updates about how Hallie was getting on. He seemed comfortable with her and her partner and everything went smoothly, so we would definitely recommend them or use them again! Thank you :)”
