“I honestly cannot recommend Heather highly enough! From the very first meet and greet, both Heather and her family were so warm, welcoming, and genuine that I instantly felt comfortable leaving my dog, Leicester in their care. Leicester had the absolute best time staying with them for the weekend and was so well looked after. Heather kept me updated regularly with messages and lovely photos of everything he was getting up to, which was incredibly comforting and reassuring while I was away. It was so clear to see how happy, relaxed, and settled he was with her. Heather is extremely knowledgeable, thorough, and clearly has so much love and care for the dogs she looks after. She really took the time to understand Leicester and made him feel completely at home (I think he may even have been a little spoilt 🤭). I would wholeheartedly recommend Heather to absolutely anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable dog sitter for their four legged family member. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again in the future… honestly, I wouldn’t want Leicester staying anywhere else now! 🐾”
“Cant thank Elizabeth and her lovely family enough for taking great care of our dog lula, she had a lovely time and was kept entertained by there 3 adorable girls, they sent lovely photos and updates throughout her stay which was really nice , we will definitely be getting lula booked in again 😊 thank you Elizabeth Gareth and girls xx”

“Venetia and Chris are fantastic. They made cody feel right at home and took exceptional care of him. They provided regular updates and pictures which helped put my mind at ease. I have no hesitation in recommending Ventia and Chris to look after anyones dog. Thanks guys.”
“I’m so glad we found this lovely family to look after our dog when we can’t take him with us. You won’t find a more dog friendly, welcoming family. Even their little one looks forward to Storm coming. We won’t use anyone else now.”
“A day spent in someone else’s home can be a big deal for a dog, but Winnie clearly landed in the right place. Samantha and her family gave her such warm, thoughtful care, and it really showed. The videos and photos they sent throughout the stay were genuinely lovely — reassuring, personal, and full of Winnie looking relaxed, happy, and very much at home. She clearly enjoyed herself , and it’s easy to see why. A wonderful experience from start to finish. Thank you - highly recommend 🐾🐶🤩”
“Hayley was absolutely wonderful and Cooper loved his time with her. From the first messages and suggestion of a brief meet to sending photos and updates of Cooper throughout his stay, Hayley was amazing. Can’t thank her enough for taking such good care of Cooper.”
“I am a returning customer and now Charlotte is Beni's fairy Godmother 🥰🐾, helping me out when I need to be whole day out. Beni truly loves to stay with Charlotte, doesn't stress when I leave and I pick my puppy content and relaxed, with plenty of pictures to enjoy about their day. I cannot recommend Charlotte more for care of your beloved pet when you need.”
“Very pleased with the stay for Sebi and Bella, lots of photos were sent, updated daily, played lots of ball which they love, definitely recommend and definitely use the service again knowing that our dogs were happy and safe”
“I wouldn’t hesitate to ask Katy & Reece to have Woody & Lettie again. Loads of updates & photos throughout their stay. & on pick up my furries had clearly had a good time. Thank you 👍🏽”
“Having a business function 5 hours from home and needing to find suitable care for our needy French Bulldog was potentially stressful. So glad we found Cathryn and her wonderfully calming approach. She (and her husband) were super accommodating, communicative, helpful, reassuring. Instantly connecting with Merlin when we dropped him off, and sending photos and messages throughout the evening to reassure. When we are in Staffs again and need repeat care, we will be 100% returning to Cathryn. Highly recommended!!”
About: I’ve always been an animal person and have had all sorts of pets over the years, including Chow Chows, Labradors, Staffies, Huskies and cats, so I’m used to different personalities and energy levels. I’ve raised my own pets from puppies and kittens, and I’ve also adopted and rescued animals, which has taught me a lot about patience, care and really getting to know each animal as an individual. I’m genuinely caring and will always treat your pet like they’re my own. I’m not working at the moment, so I’ve got plenty of time and flexibility for walks, boarding or house sitting, and I won’t be rushing in and out. I’ve got experience with walking, boarding and looking after pets in their own homes, and I just want them to feel comfortable, safe and happy while they’re with me. I’m currently not working, which means I have plenty of time and flexibility throughout the week to dedicate to caring for pets. We often look after our neighbors’ pets and regularly take our own dog out for walks, which made me realize how much I enjoy spending time with animals and helping others with their care. I’m available every day except Saturdays and can offer a range of services including boarding, drop-in visits, walks, or anything else needed to make sure your furry friends are happy, safe, and well cared for. Whether it’s a quick check-in or longer stays, I’m here to help and treat your pets as if they were my own. When caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I always follow any instructions provided closely to ensure each pet’s routine, diet, and preferences are maintained. I understand that pets are cherished family members, so I treat them with the same level of care, attention, and respect. I take the time to understand each pet’s unique personality and needs, whether they require lots of play and stimulation, a calm and quiet environment, or something in between. I adapt my approach to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and happy at all times. I’m also flexible with timings and can work around busy schedules to provide reliable and convenient care. In my home, I can accommodate other pets either alongside my own husky—who is very relaxed and friendly with dogs, cats, and children—or separately if preferred. I have additional rooms and a secure garden, allowing me to tailor my services to suit different animals, temperaments, and situations.
“Laura was amazing. She looked after Finn so well, understood all his nuances and had a great understanding of her expectations of his breed traits. She sent some fab photographs and kept us up to date during Finns stay.”
“Charlie had a great bank holiday weekend with Tessa - drop off and pick up was easy, I got updates and photos with how he was doing and he was super happy when I picked him up. Tessa was responsive to messages quickly. Thanks again!!”
“Another happy stay for Cinder with Paula. She just loves her time there and it is reassuring as an owner to know that Cinder is so well cared for and loved during her stay. I think she would stay for a lot longer if she could! 🙂”
“Naomi and her family were amazing with Lola. I could see from the pictures how happy, settled, content and well looked after she was by the whole family. Lovely walks and lots of cuddle time. I was undergoing surgery and Naomi was so flexible and accommodating. I highly recommend them!”
“I do not have to words to explain how fantastic Ivana, Andrew and Michela are, they are just such a wonderful, loving and caring family who looked after our 2 year old work cocking Marley for 4days/3 nights. From the initial meet and greet I was completely put at ease and knew I had found the perfect family to look after our fur baby. They treated Marley like part of the family and gave him lots of snuggles and fuss. Ivana’s communication was excellence and she regularly sent me messages, photos and videos each day. Marley had a fantastic little break and loved his stay. I am already planning for Marley’s next stay with Ivana and her family and plan to repeatable book with her, I feel so thankful to have found her on Rover.”
“Sajna and Hejin are a wonderful couple, who genuinely gave A’mari a home away from home. They were both so attentive and wanting to understand A’mari routine and character, and she had an absolute ball. Sajna kept us updated throughout the stay with lots of pictures and videos of lots of walks, and running in the fields, and A’mari settled in straight away, and was given all the fuss and attention she could want ☺️ A’mari can’t wait to go back”

“Alice was a fantastic cat sitter, extremely reliable & so friendly. We had daily updates of how our cat was & she tended to his every need. Our cat was relaxed and happy when we got home. Thank you Alice! ”
“Melissa and Sam looked after my cat for a couple of days in November this year, it was my first time using this type of service and I couldn’t have been happier with them. They came over to meet me and the nervous cat before I went away and I could immediately tell that they were animal lovers. They asked lots of questions to make sure that they got all the information they needed about how to look after her and what she is like. Whilst away, I had daily updates and they even washed up her cat bowls. Would absolutely recommend them to anyone else.”
“It’s clear that Jane loves cats! Her communication was brilliant from the start, she really put us at ease. She is a great fit for our cat Bluebell, and sent lots of photos and updates, and we could see that Bluebell was relaxed and happy, which was wonderful. She arrived & left at the agreed times, and the house was left immaculate. Bluebell is looking forward to us going away again, so she can get more fuss from Jane 😂❤️ Thanks again for taking such good care of our fluffy girl!”
“Lauren recently looked after our cat Monty for a week while we were away and she was FANTASTIC! I was dreading leaving him as it was our first time away since we adopted him but I needn't have worried. I don't think Monty missed us one little bit as he is totally smitten with Lauren and she looked after him perfectly! Lauren was also the perfect housesitter and we came back to a spotless house with all of the bedlinen and towels freshly washed. We won't hesitate to book Lauren again and again. We wouldn't want anyone else looking after Monty!”
“We were very happy to have Ana look after our two cats for our week away. She was very friendly and obviously caring about the cats, giving us regular updates and pictures. We felt we could trust her completely in our home, and were confident that she would not only look after the cats well, but also enjoy their company! We'd be happy to call on her again. :)”
“My partner and I had never left our cat with anyone before and so we were super nervous to go on holiday, but Sarah was amazing at easing our minds. She sent us lots of updates to let us know how our cat was doing and made sure to play and engage with him when we were away.”
About: I’m dedicated to providing the highest quality care for each pet. I understand that every dog has its own unique personality and needs, and I always prioritize their comfort, safety, and happiness., I’ve owned dogs with a variety of breeds and temperaments, ensuring they get the right balance of exercise, attention, and playtime. Whether it’s a leisurely stroll or an energetic run, I’m committed to creating a positive, fun, and fulfilling experience for every pet in my care. I currently work lunch time into evenings so I have plenty of time in the mornings to help out with walks/trainings between 6am-12pm within weekdays I provide a safe, welcoming home environment where dogs feel comfortable and secure. With plenty of space to relax and play, my home is designed to be having for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. In addition to offering a cozy place to stay, I also ensure every dog gets plenty of exercise and outdoor time with regular, energizing walks. Safety is always my top priority, so you can feel confident your dog is in good hands whether at my home or out on a walk.
“Eden was a great sitter. We had great communication beforehand, and she kept us updated with pictures and texts whilst she was watching our cats. The cats are quite anxious and hesitant around strangers, but she had them eating treats from her hand in no time. Would definitely recommend booking Eden as a sitter, and will be booking her again.”
About: I’ve grown up around lots of dogs. My dads always had between two and six so as kid walking 3 white German shepards at a time was a good start. I’ve cared for 3 dogs the last two years walking them everyday, one being elderly and needing extra care. Whenever I’m out or round a friends house if there’s a dog I will be playing with it. I’ve been told and feel I have an affinity with dogs so making this a bigger part of my life would be a dream. Nearly 4 years ago I sold my place to move into a van this has allowed to follow my passion, dogs. I can’t tell you how lucky I feel when I’m out with a dog I get on well with. I feel I can communicate with dogs as many have told me I’m their best friend. Now summer is here I play cricket so Saturday day I will be unavailable. I’ve taken care of a wide range of dogs and understand their different needs. I’ve sat for an XL Bully to my dad’s six King Charles Spaniels. One of the dogs I walk I take for longer than I should but the dog needs it so she gets it. I speak to all dogs and feel that they understand the intent behind your words. I have lots of free time and I’m very punctual.
About: I have worked in a cattery & kennels for 3 years during peak holiday seasons. I also have 3 cats of my own so I know first hand what level of care cats need. I have experience giving medication, ensure things are clean for your cats & ensure they are fed and watered while you’re away from home.
“Cloe was absolutely superb. She was good with the dogs and visited first to introduce herself to them. I had only booked the 2 dogs as I thought the big one might be too much of a hand full, but she bonded with him straight away. I’ll definitely be using her services again and it’s reassuring to know I can leave all 3. Couldn’t be happier with Cloe and especially as it was at such short notice.”
About: What sets me apart is my genuine care and attention to each cat’s needs. I treat every cat like my own, keeping them comfortable, relaxed, and well cared for, while giving owners peace of mind with regular updates. I’ve had my own cat for 11 years!
About: I’ve cared for cats of all ages and personalities for years — from shy rescues to playful kittens and confident house cats. Neighbours, friends and family rely on me to check in, feed, clean litter trays, socialise and give their cats reassurance while they’re away. I’m patient, calm and confident with routine-loving cats who need a steady, friendly presence.
“Jordan took perfect care of our cats including giving loxicom to our kitten who was recovering from her spay. Reliable and an obvious animal lover. Thanks for removing the stress of worrying about our cats!”
About: Zookeeper working with great apes with a passion for the outdoors and pets! I have 2 relevant animal degrees including animal welfare, clinical animal behaviour and training I have plenty of time for walkies (and treats), mostly in the evenings. Working throughout the day but can regularly visit home as I live on site at my work. I have a private apartment near to work, attached to enclosed fields in which the animal can enjoy. The apartment is cool and quite year round.
About: I have experience caring for cats both in their own homes and while owners are away. I understand that every cat has their own personality, with some enjoying lots of attention and playtime, while others prefer their own space. I always take the time to get to know each cat and follow their usual routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. I make sure they have fresh food and water, clean litter trays regularly, and spend quality time with them through play, grooming (if they enjoy it), or simply keeping them company. I also monitor their wellbeing and behaviour, making sure they’re happy and healthy throughout my visits. I know how important it is for owners to feel confident that their cat is being well cared for, so I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos while you’re away.

About: Hello! My name is Lauren and I am a very happy, easy going girl. I owned a little Pug/ Shih Tzu in the past named Gerty and she was the funniest little character, I ended up moving to Australia after Gerty for the past 7 years. In this time I have done plenty of house sits in Australia and now the UK since I got back a few months ago. I have great experience in looking after all kinds of animals but mainly cats and dogs. I have my pet sitting qualification and I am currently also doing cpr training. I chose to be a pet sitter/walker as it doesn't feel like a job to me. What a wonderful life to be surrounded by creatures that bring us so much joy and comfort and to be able to bring just as much joy and comfort back to them. Previously I was a live in carer for years before becoming a sitter, I treat everyone's homes and pets as I would my own, with love and respect. DVS checked and pet sitter qualified ✅ I have been doing pet sitting in Australia and now I am back living in the UK where I have my own pet care business. So because I am just starting out again here I have plenty of room to book pets, as I am available on all days. I am happy to do day visits, walking, feeding, overnights etc…I have my qualifications and just doing my first aid for pets. I will happily keep your pet company, walk them, feed them, bath them, keep them happy and entertained. I clean out cages, litter trays etc… anything you need me to do for your pets and house I am happy to do. I treat your pets and house as I would my own, with love and respect.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was young, and friends, neighbours and family regularly rely on me to walk, feed, bathe and play with their pets. I run my own pet care business, so I’m experienced with all temperaments, routines and needs. Your pet will always get patient, attentive and loving care. I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility for pet care throughout the week. I’m available for drop-ins and walks most weekdays after 2pm, with full availability on weekends. I always make time to give pets proper attention, play and companionship — never rushed visits. I prioritise safety and comfort in every home I visit. I follow each pet’s routine closely, keep owners updated with photos, and ensure fresh water, clean spaces and supervised play at all times. I’m calm, confident with all breeds, and treat every pet as if they were my own.

About: We have been fostering dogs for around 6 years now and have also adopted 3 dogs of our own. Our dogs welcome every foster dog we have had and easily adapt. i am from a medical and caring background so you can be sure your loving dog is in safe hands. We have 3 lovely dogs and now I'm only part time ( just 2 hours in the morning from 6-8am) I have plenty of time to take care of your pet. We treat all pets as if they are our own, and include them into any activity we undertake. Our garden is fully enclosed and the safety of your pet is our promise to you.
About: as someone who works from home, I am very blessed I get to spend as much time as I can with my baby - toy poodle Quincy. from walks to enrichment, playing games and training, our days are always filled with fun, love and care. we would love to help you look after your babies, whether it’s simply by taking them on a walk during the day, to keeping them company in our home. our only request is that your dog is friendly to other dogs, as Quincy is very small, and house trained. I work from home full time so I have a lot of time to give my attention to your fur baby. As I already look after Quincy, your pups will fit into our already existing schedule perfectly. We have a fenced garden, a big open lounge area with low couches. We have no sharp objects, no scented products that can be easily reached.
“Hayley & Partner are such nice people and looked after our 10 month old Aluskie and he was treated like there own loads of walks loads of updates with great pictures of his advent thank you much. Wouldn’t hesitate book again .”
“Storm has had a great time with Rafal and Maggie, who kept me updated, including photos, throughout the day, and even threw in a couple of lead walking training sessions! Storm has come home very happy, we will definitely be asking Rafal and Maggie and their daughter to look after Storm again, can’t thank them enough, and would recommend them to anyone. Thanks, Rafal and family, much appreciated 😀”
“Naomi was quick to respond to what was a last minute request. We managed a lovely meet and greet which put me at total ease to leave Dougie with her. I know Dougie loved his day as he was a tired boy when he got home. The photos during the day made me smile ands also relax knowing he was having a great time. I will definitely be using Naomi again and can totally recommend.”
About: I’ve always had a love for dogs even since I was young. At 15, I finally got my own dog which I trained and took care of by myself. I love dogs company and taking care of them. During my undergraduate degree, I decided to join Rover as a way to help earn whilst being student, but also as a way to spend time with dogs as I missed my own dog, Harley, so much. I have done home-stays with puppies and post-surgery dogs to keep them company, whilst their owners are out. I also have been trusted by owners to pop in for daily walks whilst owners are at work to give some fresh air and company to your loved ones. As my dog at home is my pride and joy, I really understand what great pet care means to us dog lovers and that’s why I’m so keen to look after your dogs! Boarding can be accepted but will need to be comfortable staying with my 10 year old, friendly cockapoo, Harley. We have a small garden but located right next to fields for regular exercise and walks! I have recently started at the University of Hull as MSc Physician Associate Student and have decided to come back to rover and with my spare time, I would love to fit dog walking and sitting around my university schedule! I have a flexible schedule so I can easily fit let care into my daily routine. However, university is my priority, please contact me about any dates and I can let you know if I can work the care you need around my timetable! I would come to visit pets in your home either just for a few hours to keep them company or for longer stays if you are going away! I’m also available for regular dog walking to fit both our schedules. I am a reliable and hard-working person with a passion for dogs and love their company, so unlikely to let you down! However, as I am a student and live in student accommodation, I am unable to have dogs board at my own home, so for longer stays, it would be essential I come to you, otherwise, I would not be suitable as your choice of sitter.
“I was really happy to have Alicia look after our 7 month old puppy. She found out all about her in advance and really put me at ease. Luna came home happy and relaxed after a day of fun. We will definitely book Alicia again in the future.”

“Our dog seemed to have a brilliant day with Venetia and Chris. When we collected her, she was right at home. We won't hesitate to book again. Very accommodating hosts, thank you.”
“Nigel and Karen are absolutely incredible! They made sure Onyx had the time of his life while we were off enjoying a festival. Every day was filled with long, adventurous walks, playful interactions with other furry friends, and most importantly, the loving care of two wonderful people who truly understood his quirks. I can’t praise them enough for their attentiveness and warmth! Without a doubt, I would choose Nigel and Karen every single time. They are genuinely kind souls who dedicate themselves to the joy of dogs. If you’re looking for a safe and loving environment for your fur baby, don’t hesitate to book them! You won’t regret it!”
About: I absolutely adore dogs and caring for them. I’ve looked after many dogs on Rover and have loved every single one of them, all with different personalities and needs, it’s always a joy to be able to help out and get to spend time with these wonderful animals. I’ve had dogs ever since I could remember so have always grown up looking after dogs. As a child we had a springer spaniel and growing up we had a Dalmatian and another springer spaniel. I used to always visit the RSPCA as a child growing up as I loved going to see all the animals. Your dog is always in someone’s company. I work in a school and with help from my mum who stays with the dogs in the day we can meet all your dogs needs. I am also available weekends. I’m very active and love the outdoors and adventure, I love going for walks hikes and runs so will happily will take your pup too. I have a completely fenced garden, no way of escape. I am very careful and abide to health and safety regulations. There’s no other dogs in the house currently. Im also a very trustworthy person and work in education/care with children
“We are so glad to find lovely Hannah. Before Harper’s stay, arranged meet and greet. She has kept updated us and look after our furry girl really well. Definitely will keep in contact with her in future! Thank you !”
“Jade has looked after my dog before and she always leaves so happy and very tired out. Really great communication and pick up/drop off are super easy. Would 100% recommend and will use again!”
“Elizabeth and her lovely family looked after biscuit with great care and gave her heaps of attention, they treated her like their own dog and biscuit loved being around the two girls. I was updated with photos and little stories of what they got up to whilst I was away for work and they made us smile as she clearly looked entertained, was having zoomies and playing with the children and getting lots of cuddles and attention. It made us quite jealous :) My husband found the location easy for work to drop her off on the way and made life easier for him knowing she was cared for extremely well. We will be using Elizabeth and her family again! Thank you for what you did for Biscuit, she came home tired and slept all afternoon and hardly moved :)”
“Many thanks to Charlotte for looking after Archie and Ralph so well yesterday. They came back very chilled out and clearly well looked after during the day. We will have no hesitation in asking Charlotte to look after them again.”

About: I've been taking care of family and friend's dogs, love going for walks with them as well as snuggling up on the sofa. I work from home Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays, so i can provide dog sitting services on those days, I can provide dog walks any day in the evenings.

About: I have loved dogs and grown up around them my whole life! I’m currently mum to Conan, an 18 month old Rottie who is my pride and joy! Raising Conan, and training this difficult breed has gave me the confidence that I can handle anything!

I am a really active person so would love to take them for walks and entertain them! I live in a two storey house with a large garden.

About: I’ve had pets since I was born. I was raised with 5 dogs at home, from puppies to elderly I enjoyed training, feeding and playing with them. As a teenager I’d help my friends by going to their houses to take care of their dogs and cats and take them for walks. I’m a volunteer in a woodland forest rescuing animals and creating new habitats for them, which improves my understanding of their behaviours and needs. I don’t do boarding for pets from different households at the same time so they can feel more comfortable while away from home. If your pet has any allergies, special needs, medications or a specific routine please let me know during the booking. I’m currently back home during summer break from university so if there isn’t any plans I’m free the whole week 24/7.

Whether it’s a leisurely stroll or an energetic run, I’m committed to creating a positive, fun, and fulfilling experience for every pet in my care.

About: I have owned dogs since 2017 and love them so much! They’re so pure and loyal and I’d love to help others look after their dogs after realising how hard it is to find good people to look after my pets when I was away! I have recently quit my job so have complete flexibility to come look after your loved ones when you’re away! I run a lot so if your dog likes a run we can do that too! I will look after your loved ones in line with your guidance, and with the love, care and attention that I would love my own dog!
About: I have experience looking after a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, and small animals. My responsibilities included feeding them on schedule, making sure they always had fresh water, cleaning their living areas, and ensuring they were comfortable and safe. I regularly walked dogs, played with them to keep them active, and paid close attention to their behaviour to make sure they were healthy and happy. I also helped with basic grooming such as brushing fur, cleaning food bowls, and keeping pets clean and well cared for. Through this experience, I learned the importance of patience, responsibility, and understanding each animal’s different needs and personality. I enjoyed building trust with the pets and making sure they felt loved and cared for while their owners were away. Looking after pets has taught me how important routine, attention, and kindness are in keeping animals healthy and happy. I’m currently working full time Monday to Thursday 6-2 and Friday until 12.45. I have my morning break half 9 to 10.15 and my lunchtime break half 12 to half 1 so I can nip and let your pet out for a toilet break. Im free at the weekends to look after your pets I have a fenced garden big enough for your pet to roam and play and I have a jack Russel that will keep your pet company or if you’d prefer your pet not to interact with my dog I can make arrangements for my dog to be somewhere else on the days I am looking after your pet

About: I’ve always been an animal person and have had all sorts of pets over the years, including Chow Chows, Labradors, Staffies, Huskies and cats, so I’m used to different personalities and energy levels. I’ve raised my own pets from puppies and kittens, and I’ve also adopted and rescued animals, which has taught me a lot about patience, care and really getting to know each animal as an individual. I’m genuinely caring and will always treat your pet like they’re my own. I’m not working at the moment, so I’ve got plenty of time and flexibility for walks, boarding or house sitting, and I won’t be rushing in and out. I’ve got experience with walking, boarding and looking after pets in their own homes, and I just want them to feel comfortable, safe and happy while they’re with me. I’m currently not working, which means I have plenty of time and flexibility throughout the week to dedicate to caring for pets. We often look after our neighbors’ pets and regularly take our own dog out for walks, which made me realize how much I enjoy spending time with animals and helping others with their care. I’m available every day except Saturdays and can offer a range of services including boarding, drop-in visits, walks, or anything else needed to make sure your furry friends are happy, safe, and well cared for. Whether it’s a quick check-in or longer stays, I’m here to help and treat your pets as if they were my own. When caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I always follow any instructions provided closely to ensure each pet’s routine, diet, and preferences are maintained. I understand that pets are cherished family members, so I treat them with the same level of care, attention, and respect. I take the time to understand each pet’s unique personality and needs, whether they require lots of play and stimulation, a calm and quiet environment, or something in between. I adapt my approach to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and happy at all times. I’m also flexible with timings and can work around busy schedules to provide reliable and convenient care. In my home, I can accommodate other pets either alongside my own husky—who is very relaxed and friendly with dogs, cats, and children—or separately if preferred. I have additional rooms and a secure garden, allowing me to tailor my services to suit different animals, temperaments, and situations.
“Laura was amazing. She looked after Finn so well, understood all his nuances and had a great understanding of her expectations of his breed traits. She sent some fab photographs and kept us up to date during Finns stay.”
“Naomi and her family were amazing with Lola. I could see from the pictures how happy, settled, content and well looked after she was by the whole family. Lovely walks and lots of cuddle time. I was undergoing surgery and Naomi was so flexible and accommodating. I highly recommend them!”
“Sajna and Hejin are a wonderful couple, who genuinely gave A’mari a home away from home. They were both so attentive and wanting to understand A’mari routine and character, and she had an absolute ball. Sajna kept us updated throughout the stay with lots of pictures and videos of lots of walks, and running in the fields, and A’mari settled in straight away, and was given all the fuss and attention she could want ☺️ A’mari can’t wait to go back”
About: I am an avid dog lover and have owned dogs of my own for 40+ years. With my own playful chocolate Labrador Rolo, I look forward to welcoming your pet into our home. Your pet is my priority and I will treat him/her as part of my family. Walkies, cuddles, reassurance and providing a safe, happy environment is my goal to make you feel happy, stress and worry free whether you are at work, taking a break or having a well deserved holiday! I am pet first aid trained and accredited and have transport available to be able to pick-up and drop-off your beloved dog if required to allow you to make the most of your time away. I have just finished caring for my youngest grandchild and am now ready to help hard working people who love their dogs care for them whilst at work or on holidays in my home. I will send photographs whilst you are away (if required) for your peace of mind knowing that your fur baby is looked after and happy in a home from home whilst you are enjoying time away. With a secure back garden and a large grassed area only feet away from me (for those dogs allowed off lead) to play or chase a ball I have a safe space to play and stimulate your beloved pet.
About: In our family, we are always the ones that our relatives call on to look after their pets when they go on holiday 😊 Mainly because they get spoilt rotten! We always make sure they feel like part of the family and we love having them as much as they enjoy being with us ❤️ I work in a school Monday to Thursday and my husband has one day off in the week. I also have all the school holidays free. We have a large fenced garden and have a wonderful park nearby for lots of walks. We also have two reception rooms so are happy for your fur baby to sleep in luxury in their own room 😀
“Molly and her family did a wonderful job looking after our Rocky, daily updates on how he’s doing with photos and videos were all received with pure joy. Will continue to use molly in the future for all of Rocky’s future staycations”
About: Welcome to The Home and The Hound - luxury, home-from-home dog boarding in a warm family environment. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something that comes very naturally to me. Over the years, I’ve gained lots of hands-on experience with pets of different breeds, ages, temperaments and needs, including through fostering for local charities. Growing up I have always had family pets - both cats and dogs and until a couple of years ago, had our own lovely dog, Bella. All this has given me valuable experience with everything from playful, energetic pups to more nervous dogs who need extra patience, reassurance and a gentle approach. I understand how important it is to feel completely confident when leaving your dog in someone else’s care… My aim is to provide a calm, loving and reliable home where your dog will be treated like one of the family, with plenty of comfort, affection, playtime, countryside walks and one-to-one attention. Every dog is different, so I always take the time to understand their usual routine, personality, likes, dislikes and any special requirements. Whether your dog loves cuddles on the sofa, quiet companionship, enrichment games or long walks, I’ll do my best to make sure they feel safe, settled and truly at home. Your house rules are our house rules when your pet stays with us. I’m so excited to welcome your pup into our family home. My priority is always to make sure both dogs and owners feel happy, reassured and well cared for from the moment they arrive until the moment they go home. I work from home in Swadlincote, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine and I’m around throughout the day to give dogs plenty of company, attention and reassurance. Dogs staying with us will be part of our normal family home life, with time for walks, garden breaks, play, rest and cuddles. Whilst I will always remain the sole carer looking after your pets while they stay with us, my husband is a Head of Year at a local secondary school, so during school holidays - often peak boarding times - there is even more time, attention and hands-on help at home. Our two children, who are very ‘pet savvy’ through the experience of us fostering pets for several local charities over the years, also enjoy being part of our gentle, dog-loving family environment. I aim to offer two walks a day of between 20 & 60 minutes, depending on your dog’s usual routine, age, energy levels and preferences. We also love visiting secure dog fields for safe, enriching walks and playtime. Meals times will follow your home routine and requests. Your house rules are our house rules when your pet stays with us I offer a safe, calm and loving home-from-home environment with no pets of my own. For this year, I’ll only be boarding one dog, or one household of dogs, at a time, so your dog will receive dedicated one-to-one care and personalised attention throughout their stay. Dogs will always be supervised when using our fully secure, fenced garden, and I will follow your guidance closely around feeding, walks, sleeping arrangements, routines, training cues and any special requirements. I understand how important it is to feel reassured when leaving your dog, so I’ll do everything I can to help them feel safe, settled and loved. Your dog will be welcomed into our family home and cared for with patience, kindness and consistency, just as I would want for my own, and you will be provided with regular photo and video updates throughout their stay with us.
“Lisa is a fantastic dog sitter. Had a play date for the first visit so both dogs could interact and be comfortable with each other. Our dog A’mari was entertained all day with 2 long walks, lots of playing with toys and treats. Lisa makes it a home from home experience and will definitely be booking again ☺️”
“Molly had a lovely Christmas break with Linda and Rob. They were very welcoming and Molly was comfortable straight away. Linda was very patient with me whilst I was making Christmas plans and her communication was great. If we lived closer would definitely use again!”
“Fern had the best stay with David and his family this weekend. Lots of walks, fuss, and a visit to the pub! Thank you for sending so many updates (photos / videos) this is Fern’s second time at David’s and I feel safe in the knowledge she is being very well cared for.”
“Keira apparently took a while to settle on this first visit but seems very comfortable with Nigel and made herself at home. She came home happy and well and we will be booking another visit soon. Thanks for looking after her so well.”
