“Cherry had a wonderful stay with Graham. We received lots of lovely photos and videos throughout her stay, which was so reassuring, and communication was excellent from start to finish. It was clear that Cherry was having a fantastic time, enjoying beautiful walks and plenty of playtime with Wilf. She came home as a very happy, relaxed dog, which says it all. We would highly recommend Graham to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter, and we wouldn't hesitate to book with him again. Thank you for taking such great care of Cherry!”

“Oh my goodness. What a lovely lady! What a good time Monty my little cocker spaniel had whilst staying with Victoria and Bella. I could not be happier. Monty seemed very settled and Victoria sent me a daily update and photo which I appreciated. Victoria is very relaxed and I felt confident leaving Monty for his five night stay. In fact when I picked him up to come home he was a little silky with me ! I think he really missed being with Victoria and Bella. Cannot recommend her highly enough.”

Sally M.

“Sophie is absolutely brilliant with dogs, she went out of her way to make sure that our boy Shadow had what he needed and I could just see by how happy the other dogs were whilst with her :) would 100% recommend.”

About: I am definitely a dog person, having had dogs for the last twenty years, The first dog of my married life came from the Dogs Trust when it was NCDL, so that shows how long I have had dogs. All of my furry friends have been a rescue of some kind so i am happy to work with the more 'challenged' doggies. Personally, I am semi-retired, and have had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember. The family would be lost without our furry friend. Dogs have always had the run of the houses, but can accommodate any cages if needed, younger dogs have always been caged at night to start with. A large garden, and located next to far reaching fields which is enough for even the most energetic of furry friends. Operating a twice daily feed (after walks) and love giving meaty treats to anyone that visits (Human or canine!)

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and absolutely love having them as part of the family. Growing up, I had a Labrador who was my best friend and now I have a friendly Golden Cocker Spaniel puppy who loves meeting and playing with other dogs. I live right next to a large field where I take my dog for walks every day, so your pup will have plenty of opportunities for exercise, fresh air, and enrichment. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playing fetch, or simply exploring new scents, I’ll make sure they have a fun and enjoyable stay. I work from home on the days I offer pet care, which means your dog will have company throughout the day. I understand how important it is to know your pet is safe, happy, and receiving plenty of attention while you’re away, so I’ll treat them as if they were my own. I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual routine, including feeding schedules, walks, medication requirements, and any special instructions. I’ll also keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you can relax knowing your furry friend is having a great time. I look forward to meeting you and your dog! Why choose me? * Lifelong dog owner with experience caring for Labradors and Spaniels * Friendly resident Golden Cocker Spaniel for companionship and play * Daily walks in a large nearby field * Work from home, so dogs are rarely left alone * Plenty of love, attention, and regular updates for owners * Happy to accommodate individual routines and needs I work from home so have plenty of time at home to look after your pup. I walk my dog three times a day, morning, lunch and in the evening. But am happy to accompany to your dogs exercise needs. I have a fully fenced garden with grass to explore. I have a golden cocker spaniel who loves other dogs and to play. I also have a crate that can accommodate a cocker spaniel size or smaller if needed. We also have child gates in the house to make sure they are safe.

Rhea F.

“Ava is very friendly and Felix took to her straight away. He seemed happy and well when we got home so obviously enjoyed his time with Ava.

About: I’ve had cats all my life including 3 outdoor cats when I lived with my parents, and 2 indoor cats now. My indoor cats are beautiful (although I’m biased!) as they are Siamese x ragdoll but this also means they’re very chatty and very needy. I’m always up for playing with them and fussing them and they know loads of tricks including: sit, stand, spin, paw, fist bump… the list goes on! They’re also fully harness trained and able to go for walks. So I am fully equipped for whatever set up you and your pets have :)

“Karen was so helpful, sending us lots of photos and infomation about how our girls were getting on. I would highly recomend Karen , she always goes the extra mile to reasure that the girls are happy.”

About: I used to do agility training with my older dog. I'm also used to dealing with nervous dogs, who sound aggressive. I've helped in training my dogs for commands like sit, along with teaching them to move out of way and some tricks such as paw. I'm currently studying a full time uni course, with in person lectures on Wednesdays and Thursdays, so I have a lot of availability to take care of your dogs I will communicate well with the owner and follow their guidance by asking how they take care of their pet and replicate that because every pet is different. I will walk the dog on the lead, unless I am certain it will come back to me and I am in an enclosed area.

About: I am an experienced cat mum having three of my own at home. Looking to provide loving care to your pets in their own home.

About: I have always loved cats at a young age, as I was surrounded by them my whole life. I helped foster a stray pregnant cat and aided her with her birth and helped raise her kittens.

“Milo had a great stay with Sophie, Quinn and Dotty. Sophie was really good with Milo, she took time to meet him before his stay so he would feel more settled when he was dropped off. She is very knowledgeable when it comes to dogs and gave Eva and I lots of really good tips and advice about treats, food, grooming and dog toys and good places to shop for them. During the stay she kept us updated with messages and pictures which is always nice to see thats he's in good hands and having a great time. Milo really enjoyed his stay and will be back again.”

Gary D.

“Andreia was so lovely with my chi and me! I was really nervous to leave my precious boy as I have never left him before. Andreia reassured me that he would be fine, I went through his basic needs which were all followed during his stay. I had gorgeous photographs sent to me during the time he was with Andreia. If I ever need my boy looking after again in the area I would definitely request to go back to Andreia. ☺️”

Samantha R.

“Freddie LOVES Pamela, he's a slightly anxious boy but he took to her straight away, she has amazing energy. She really made us feel relaxed with leaving him and took great care of him. He came home happy and seemed very at home with Pamela. It's given us more confidence to leave him for longer so we really appreciate that. Highly recommended 🥰”

Dan F.

“Thank you for having Mylo today. From the initial meet and greet to the time he spent with you today, he had a great time. Thanks also for the fab photos and videos. We look forward to you having him again soon. Kerry”

Kerry D.

“I spent countless hours searching for someone with real experience handling working dogs, as we have a Border Collie, and it was so important to find the right fit. From the moment I met Dorothy at our meet and greet, I knew she was the one. Enzo absolutely fell in love with her and had such an amazing time during his doggy day care stay. I was looking for a true “home away from home” for him, and that’s exactly what Dorothy provides. She is incredibly knowledgeable, gentle, and patient—her experience really shines through in the way she cares for the dogs. I honestly couldn’t be happier and feel so reassured knowing Enzo is in such great hands.”

About: Hi, I’m Ange 👋🐾 — a lifelong animal lover, DBS checked, with years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all shapes and sizes. I now offer dog day care and pet services from Sutton on Trent, a lovely rural village surrounded by countryside, quiet lanes, and peaceful walking routes 🌿🐕. It’s a calm, home-from-home environment, ideal for dogs who enjoy companionship, fresh air, and gentle structure throughout the day. Originally from South Africa, I spent many years rescuing and caring for animals including injured Rottweilers, pot-bellied pigs, leopard geckos, kittens, rabbits, hedgehogs, birds, fish, and snakes 🐶🐷🦎🐰🐍. When I moved to the UK, I brought my German Shepherd, Jax, with me. Together, we completed obedience and protection training, giving me valuable experience handling large breeds and understanding canine behaviour. I’m confident caring for dogs with reactive behaviours, allergies, specialised diets including raw feeding, senior needs, and medication routines 💛. My approach is calm, patient, and tailored to each pet’s personality, routine, and comfort. ⸻ 🐶 Services Offered ✅ Dog day care in a calm countryside setting ✅ Dog walking tailored to age, fitness, and temperament ✅ Drop-in visits for feeding, companionship, medication, playtime, and toilet breaks ✅ Senior dog care and gentle enrichment ✅ Secure off-lead walks available if booked at a secure field ⸻ 🐾 Why Choose Me? • 🌿 Rural village location with access to lovely countryside walks • 🐕 Experienced with dogs of all ages, breeds, and needs • 💪 Confident handling large and strong breeds • 🥩 Knowledgeable in raw feeding, allergy management, and medication • 🐈 Comfortable caring for cats, small animals, reptiles, birds, and more • 📸 Regular updates and photos for peace of mind • 💛 Calm, reliable, and compassionate care The property has a large garden and outdoor space 🌳. Please note, the garden is not fully enclosed, so dogs are always supervised and kept safely on lead or long line unless we have arranged a secure enclosed field booking. Your pet’s safety will always come first. Whether your dog enjoys countryside walks, quiet companionship, playtime, or a relaxed day in a homely setting, I’ll care for them as if they were my own 🐾💛 Let’s arrange a meet-and-greet so we can find the best routine for your pet. 🐶✨ I’m currently preparing to start my MSc this autumn and also work part-time, so I’ll have a flexible schedule that allows me to offer pet care during both weekdays and weekends. I’m happy to work around your routine — whether that’s morning walks, midday visits, or evening care. Just let me know what suits you and we can find a time that works for everyone! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, their safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I take time to understand each pet’s personality, routines, and needs so they feel secure and relaxed in my care. I maintain a calm, positive environment and always follow any instructions you provide — from feeding routines and medication to preferred walking routes or sleeping arrangements. I never rush interactions and always allow pets to approach me at their own pace, building trust naturally. Your pet will be treated with the same love, respect, and attention I give my own. I have an enclosed garden with high walls

About: After a health scare & with my boys being much older now, I completed an Animal Care course to gain additional knowledge in animal care. I had a Westie for 16 years & now have a Havachon that we have had for 10 years now. I have built up a good sized portfolio of regular dogs & cats through BARK providing walks, pop ins & stays. *Additional customer reviews can be found on BARK. I am available in the week to walk & the week/weekend to provide pop in visits & day stays at my house. I do go over to France four times per year as we have a small house out there, but this would be discussed with the pet owners. I am offering dog walking, pop ins & day visits to my house. I have a large house & a good sized garden which is fenced & gated with no way to escape. I take my own dog Lola over to another village where there is a lovely long lane where we walk. I have now built up a good sized client base & so I would plan accordingly with your dog or cat & my regular clients.

“Andreia is excellent. Our dogs are always delighted to see her and she is really good with them. She is also completely reliable. Despite having injured her ankle on the morning of dog sitting for us, when she could reasonably have cancelled, she contacted us to explain and still came to complete the visit. I recommend her wholeheartedly.”

About: Hi, I'm Sophie! 👋 Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them has become my full-time career as well as my passion. With over 20 years of experience looking after dogs of all ages, breeds and personalities, I've proudly been running my own dog care business full-time for the past year. When your dog stays with me, they become part of the family. My aim is to provide a genuine home-from-home environment where they feel safe, relaxed and loved while you're away. Every dog is different, so I tailor their care to suit their individual needs. Whether they love long woodland walks, playing in the garden, sniffing new places, curling up for cuddles or simply relaxing with company, I ensure their routine is followed as closely as possible. I'm fully insured and committed to providing a calm, structured environment where your dog's welfare always comes first. Their safety, happiness and comfort are my highest priorities. 🐾 Before You Book To help provide the highest standard of care for every dog, please note my operating hours before sending an enquiry. **🐶 Doggy Day Care** • Monday – Friday • Drop off from **7:00am** • **Latest collection: 6:00pm** **🏡 Home Boarding** • Drop off & collection between **8:00am – 6:30pm** • Collections after **6:30pm** will require an additional night's boarding, as your dog will remain in my care into the evening. Thank you for respecting these operating hours. They allow me to give every dog the time, attention and routine they deserve. In My Home Your dog won't be treated like they're in kennels—they'll become part of everyday family life. I provide: • A secure, loving home environment. • Plenty of mental enrichment and play. • Walks appropriate to your dog's age, health and energy levels. • Rest and quiet time when needed. • Regular updates and photos for complete peace of mind. 🚶 Dog Walking I offer both group and solo walks depending on your dog's personality and needs. Walks are designed to be safe, enriching and enjoyable, giving your dog the physical exercise and mental stimulation they need while always putting their welfare first.

About: I like to board animals from one household at a time, providing a luxury service that your pet/pets will appreciate and love! All dogs that had been sharing their days with us, repeat the experience and wag their tails every time they come back! We have the best reviews on Facebook too! After studying animal management and dog-feline behaviour, I worked for many years with big cats as an ecologist. Since then, I worked in different areas of animal welfare feral animals and my favourite; wildlife rehabilitation. I have many years of experience caring for various species while working in the RSPCA and as part of other NGOs around the globe. For the past few years, I have been teaching about animal welfare, animal husbandry and ecology. My expertise focuses on behaviourally challenged cats and dogs as well as caring for different species and life stages (puppy to geriatric) and specific medical conditions (administration of medication). I love meeting the owners and the animals first to break the ice and make a connection! I work from home so, I have plenty of time for socialising and playing outdoors and a lot of love, care and fuss for your babies😍. I have a huge garden where we exercise from the geriatric dogs to the most active ones. This is needed, as we do not let any dogs off the lead when we take them for long walks, for security reasons.

About: I have experiences of a whole variety of pets. I’ve been around dogs since I was a small child and have walked and sat for: beagles, labradors, west highland terriers, Irish terriers, schitzus, spaniels, schnauzers, sheep dogs, and the list goes on! I have two cats of my own who are beautiful (but obviously I’m biased!). They’re Siamese x ragdoll so very chatty and very needy. They can do lots of tricks including sit, spin, stand, paw, fist bump… I’ve certainly put my psychology training to good use! I’ve also had cats all my life so I’m very familiar with this, too, whether that’s indoor cats or outdoor cats! I also have lots of experience with pet rats as well as chinchillas and have regularly house sat and done check ins for these animals too :) I nearly always work from home and love the company of pets for house sitting, but also love to get out and go for walks - even better if I can do that with a dog or cat! I have experience of a whole variety of different environments and animals. I’ve worked with dogs who get on well with other dogs and also hate other dogs, and also dogs with anxiety and who are very nervous. I’ve also looked after both indoor and outdoor cats in a variety of settings so can easily adapt to you and your pets needs as you see fit :)

“Suki had a lovely time, thanks for walking her. We’ll book again for this week!”

About: What started out as pet sitting for friends and family and now starting to add clients to hopefully one day run my own pet sitting business. I have a love for all animals big and small and experience caring and handling them, from rabbits to horses you name it. I am currently working 4 days a week and looking to become my own boss and come away from this to run a doggy daycare from my own home. I have a 6-foot fence, a tidy garden, and a cosy and welcoming house for your dog to spend his day in while you are at work knowing all their needs are being met.

About: I am definitely a dog person, having had dogs for the last twenty years, The first dog of my married life came from the Dogs Trust when it was NCDL, so that shows how long I have had dogs. All of my furry friends have been a rescue of some kind so i am happy to work with the more 'challenged' doggies.

A large garden, and located next to far reaching fields which is enough for even the most energetic of furry friends. Operating a twice daily feed (after walks) and love giving meaty treats to anyone that visits (Human or canine!)

About: We have a lovely home which is fully secure, we're on an estate that has lovely local walks and your furry friend will be never left alone I work from home and my wife is also at home as she does not work so plenty of opportunities for walking, feeding and toilet duties! We'll try not to over spoil your pet! We have no pets of our own. Our big cuddly boxer dog passed away in March 2023 and we're ready to bring love to your pet whilst your away.

About: Always had dogs in my life, I'm very experienced with all breeds having worked in a doggy day care centre for 4 years. Feeding and giving medication is not a problem and an understanding of how to care for your dog. I have an enhanced DBS from 2024 and would love to spend time playing and encouraging your pet to have their best life. I'm up early so mornings are never a problem and usually finish early so am not available after 3pm. Any week day except bank holidays. Each dog is unique so caring for your pet is bespoke and listening to the owner would always be my first port of call to make sure your fur ball is a happy chappie

About: I absolutely love dogs and welcome any breed and age into my home to make it their home whilst you are away. I have had a range of pets growing up including dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs and even a duck so I am also able for pop in visits for a wide range of pets! I currently have a 3 year old Cocker Spaniel called Mabel. She is great around other dogs since we regularly look after our friend’s and family’s dogs who range across all different breeds and sizes and she certainly loves the company as much as I do. I can adapt to whatever needs your dog requires and if your dog loves a cuddle then you’ve come to the perfect place 🥰 I promise to send regular pup-dates (if you would like them!) and to love your pooch as much as my own! And of course, plenty of walks are a given! I’m also more than happy to arrange a meet up before you go away should you wish for your pooch to meet me in advance! I work from home so I am around to give your pups plenty of attention during the day. Alternatively I can easily pop in for visits or walks on my lunch break and I am fortunate enough to work flexibly so can ensure they get as long a walk as required. Similarly I can pop in for all other types of pets too! I have a fenced back garden and live near plenty of secure walking spots but can also walk your dog in your local area if you’d prefer. I can also easily crate your dog if required. Regardless of how long I will be looking after your pet I will provide regular updates along with photos so that you can be fully assured that your pet is in great hands!

About: At the dog shelter, I would walk, feed and groom the dogs. I would also spend time with the dogs in their kennels, whilst cleaning their kennels. I’m looking for a side hustle, since at the moment it’s quite difficult finding a part-time job. So my schedule is very flexible and free. I love spending time with any animals, especially dogs, and I enjoy playing with them and trying to teach them new tricks. I’m not easily frightened by dogs and I can understand when a dog needs space, food or a walk.

About: I’ve had dogs of all shapes and sizes since I was 3 years old. I currently have a 9 year old terrier with old lady back legs and a 1 year old dachshund. I also have 3 cats, 2 boys and a girl. I am offering a dog walking service or pop in visits to your home to check on your cats/dogs whilst you are away. I have many years of pet ownership experience and hold an animal first aid certification. I work predominantly from home, our back doors are open on sunny days and animals are able to access my secure garden at their leisure. I live in a beautiful Nottinghamshire village with multiple country walks on our doorstep. My garden is an acre of lawn and orchard. My animals have full access was to our home. My garden is secure. I have a 9 year old terrier and two cats in my home. Daily walks and lots of cuddles are a must. I have a local vet in the village should your fur baby need anything during their stay.

“Thank you so much for looking after my dog. You always kept us updated with photos of how she was doing, which gave us great peace of mind. Seeing how happy and well cared for she was made us feel so reassured while we were away. We could tell she was in great hands, and we’re very grateful for the love and attention you gave her. Highly recommended! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

She sent me regular updates on how Phoebe was getting on and apparently she followed Rebecca and her son around so I think one could say she settle in well. Rebecca is a first class dog sitter and I would have no hesitation recommending her. I had no worries about Phoebe settling in, from the updates it sounded like she became one of the family!”

About: Hi! I’m a caring, reliable animal lover and proud dog owner. I have a female Cockapoo called Maeve who is spayed and has a wonderful personality. She’s energetic, playful, cuddly, and loves meeting other dogs. One of the reasons I’m excited to offer pet sitting is that I’d love for Maeve to make more doggy friends. While I’d love a second dog one day, I can’t commit to one just yet, so Rover is the perfect way to spend more time with amazing dogs while giving them a safe, loving environment. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, as I would want the very best care for Maeve when she’s with someone else. I will treat your dog like one of my own, ensuring they receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, affection, and care tailored to their individual needs and routine. I work from home so your pups will never be alone for long periods of time, and theres lots of fields near me for our pups to run and play! Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playing fetch, cuddling on the sofa, or simply having company throughout the day, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and well looked after. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member and giving them a fun, safe, and loving home away from home! - full DBS 📄 I work from home, which means I can provide plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. Your dog won’t be left alone for long periods and will have regular opportunities for toilet breaks, playtime, enrichment, and cuddles. I live close to open fields and walking routes, so your pup will enjoy plenty of exercise, fresh air, and fun adventures. I am flexible with drop-off and pick-up times where possible and will always do my best to accommodate your dog’s usual routine. Your dog’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I provide a calm, loving home environment where dogs are treated like family. I have a friendly, spayed Cockapoo called Maeve who loves meeting new dogs and enjoys playing, walking, and relaxing with canine friends. I live close to large fields and green spaces for safe, enjoyable walks and exercise. I carefully follow each dog’s feeding, walking, and care routine and will provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.

“What an amazing dog sitter Helen is. How lucky I was to find her. It was a last-minute decision to leave our Labrador, Flo with Helen when we went on holiday. Fortunately, she had availability. We had not left Flo with anyone apart from family before. When Flo and I met Helen , she put my mind at ease and I could see that our dog was going to be so well cared for. Helen kept in touch regularly sending me updates on Flo. I could see that Flo was happily settling well into a routine. Enjoying lovely walks with Hugo, Helen’s dog, playtime with her family and chilling in her bed. She really had the best time. I feel so grateful to Helen and her family for looking after our dog as if she was one of their own which allowed us to relax totally on holiday. I would not hesitate to recommend Helen as a dog sitter and will definitely use her again to look after Flo.”

“Rachel was absolutely amazing! Her gentle nature with Rufus made it obvious that she treats your pets like her own family members. She shared plenty of photos and videos and is a great communicator. I would definitely recommend her, and we will absolutely be back. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of Rufus he had a great time! x”

About: Since I’ve loved dogs all my life, I’ve read a lot about their behaviours in my spare time. We have one dog and look after other dogs including senior dogs of family and friends, regularly. Both me and my partner Alex have had dogs since we were children. Experience with training dogs and puppies too. We have a large secure garden for roaming and sniffing. We love to go for morning and evening walks every day and there’s a great walking path close by, perfect for dog walks. On the weekends we tend to go to local parks for fresh air whatever the weather! I understand the needs of different types of dogs, whether that’s energy levels, age or personality and cater their day to suit them. It is so important to be that they feel happy and comfortable with us. If your dog needs a loving holiday home with a stable routine for a while, plus a very friendly happy well behaved dog and two children who adore dogs but give them space, then we would love to welcome your fur baby from your home to ours. Please get in touch :) I work from home with opportunity to play, cuddle and look at your fur baby. I have dog called Jasper, who loves to have friends over so will keep your dog company. We love being at home and one of us is always around. A typical day would be a morning sniff and runaround the garden first thing, or walk and then breakfast. Around lunchtime is also treat time and a little play and fuss, 5pm we’re in the kitchen/garden, and it’s playtime before dinner for dogs as and when adjusted to their needs. Finishing the day with an after dinner walk and snuggles on the sofa. I have a large fenced garden to keep your dogs safe, with my dog loving company. I can happily crate your dog if needed. We have a few areas downstairs if dogs would like their own time/ sleep without being disturbed too.

“Ellie was great with Basil! Good communication and it was lovely to get some photos of him while I was away. He settled quite quickly, I understand, which gave me reassurance. Really recommend Ellie to anyone! Thank you for looking after my boy so well.”

“Excellent dog sitter. My beagle had a great day and had clearly had fun and was well walked as she slept all evening after getting home! Pamela was fantastic and kept me posted all day sending pictures. I highly recommend her if you are looking for somewhere for your dog.”

Laura S.

“Ben has been absolutely brilliant while we were away. We had so many pictures and videos of Alfie and Noah getting up to high jinks and it really put us at ease. He was very communicative throughout and understanding of Alfie’s needs. Alfie looks like he had the best time and was well taken care of.”

“Ian was a lovely host, very communicative and helpful. Throughout Reuben's stay I was kept up to date and reassured via message/photos, which was especially helpful for his forst overnight stay away from me! I'll be very happy to leave Reuben with Ian again.”
