“Monty had a wonderful week staying at your house. We can't thank you enough for how well you looked after him and for teaching him some new tricks too. We loved the many photos you sent whilst we were on holiday, as it was lovely to see how he was settling in. We will definitely use you again and highly recommend you to anyone. Thank you again.”
“It was Teddy’s first time with Manuela and we can say that she was amazing! Manuela kept us up to date with everything, sending us lots of photos and videos of Teddy. Teddy has had a great time. We highly recommend Manuela 🐶💕”
“Sanni was perfect. She was very accommodating with sorting out a meet up before hand and she was very helpful and efficient. Our dog Flo had a lovely time! She came back to us very happy indeed and Sanni provided regular updates. We would ask her to look after Flo again, and we recommend her to anyone who is looking for a great dog sitter.”
“John & Teresa are so caring, kind and do a fantastic job looking after Bailey when we leave him with them.Bailey loves his walks, playing with his ball blaster and he loves being with John & Teresa. They are both lovely and I never have to worry about Bailey when they are looking after him. Thanks Ann & Bailey”
“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 brilliant with our Frank, an older boy, they made sure he was well taken care of. Went a little off his breakfast with the heatwave but Leah couldn’t have been more helpful, even picking up particular foods to help him. Lots of pictures and updates to put us at ease. A regular for us now no doubt ☺️”
“I couldn't recommend her enough! She looked after my kitten, Nico, overnight, and I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such caring and capable hands. She kept me updated, was so kind and welcoming, and it was clear that Nico was well looked after and comfortable during his stay. When I picked him up, I could tell he'd been given lots of love and attention. It was such a relief knowing he was being cared for by someone I could trust. I'll definitely be booking with her again whenever I need a cat sitter. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Nico!”
“Syd is always super happpy to stay with Slyvn. He gets so well looked after, plenty of activity and plenty of treats! Absolutely do leave your pooch with Slyvn, she does an amazing job.”
“Zoe is an absolute gem! She took such incredible care of my two dogs, Benji and Molly, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. She was so thoughtful, sending regular updates and adorable pictures throughout their stay, which gave me such peace of mind. It was clear they were having the best time, constantly out on walks and even becoming part of the family by getting along so well with hers. I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who truly treats your pets like their own!”
“For most trips, we leave the girls with family, but a big family holiday meant we needed to find another solution. Kennels weren’t right for us, so we turned to Rover. We went through a lot of profiles, but Helen’s really stood out: a peaceful location and a one‑dog policy, which was ideal as one of our girls is very anxious around other dogs. After a pre‑visit, we felt completely reassured. During their stay, Helen sent daily updates and photos showing how settled and content they were — from relaxing around the house to enjoying their walks. They looked genuinely happy. We’d absolutely recommend Helen and her family. If we need a sitter again, they’ll be our first choice.”
“Couldn't recommend Sam highly enough. Being g the first time weve used Rover comes with the normal anxieties but Sam is pretty much the perfect dog sitter and made us feel comfortable from the outset and his golden retriever Sam was the perfect energetic dog for our labrador teddy. Thanks again Sam.”
“Sam was very happy and well looked after with Karina. He had plenty of space inside and out to feel comfortable. I know he was spoilt during his 'holiday' here and will definitely look to return next time. Thanks so much ☺️”
“Donna was a great cat sitter for our boy while we went and visited family over Christmas. She made sure he always had food, played with him, gave him fusses and made sure he had company. He was so relaxed when we came back and it makes all the difference knowing he was okay while we were gone. She did an initial visit and took down so many details to make sure he was well catered for. Thank you so much for taking care of him!”
“Sheena took great care of my dog over the New year and I couldn’t be more happy. She was brilliant communicator keeping me informed with loads of photos and texts. She followed his routine and even did extra walks. Charlie was very happy when I picked him up. I would be happy to recommend her and will be using her again. Thanks Sheena”
“Grainne took really good care of George at late notice when I had to be called out of town for work. It was during a heatwave and George was kept cool and stimulated with Oscar! He has been sleepjnf like a log since he has come home.”
“Tilly had a lovely stay with Donna. I was kept up to date with how she was getting on throughout the weekend :) She was out and about meeting other dogs and seemed to really feel at home with Donna. Thank you so much! X”
“Ava and Matt are very approachable people and they have good understanding of dogs care. Pearl seems to have enjoyed her stay with them. Thanks Ava and Matt! Definitely recommend Ava to anyone trying to find right dog sitters in Nottingham.”

“Natalie looked after my two cats while I was away and I came home to them happy and well. I have a 17 year old cat who requires medicine by mouth and Natalie was able to administer her medicine reliably. Natalie is very polite and punctual and I thank her very much for looking after Wolfie and Hetty. ”
“Absolutely brilliant. I would highly recommend Laura. Came home to a happy Baymax and couldn't have asked for better communication and updates each visit. I will be using Laura when needed in future.”
“Vivian took care of our two cats for 9 days. Throughout this entire period, I received up-to-date information if anything looked disturbing, photos of cats and information about visits. Great communication. When we came back home, we found the cats fed, calm, and the house was clean. She's a fantastic pet sitter. I would highly recommend.”
“I cannot be more happy with the service Katherine provides. As a nervous cat owner, she made me feel reassured that they were being well loved and looked after. I received detailed updates and lots of photos of my cats, i will definitely want her to look after my cats in the future. Highly recommend”
“Zoe was friendly, flexible, communicative and responsive with us. She went above and beyond to look after the tortoise as well as our two cats. Selene and Cookie both obviously liked and trusted her too!”
“Yifan took great care of our cat Muffin for a few days. Muffin is very timid and takes a while to warm up to people but they were best friends in no time! It was amazing to see how much care and love she had for our cat. All instructions were followed and everything kept clean and tidy. The communication was excellent - we were kept informed throughout and with every visit came lots of pictures and notes on how Muffin was getting on. Muffin was well looked after, had lots of play and cuddles. She was really relaxed and truly happy with Yifan! We will gladly rebook with Yifan. She was reliable, on time and followed Muffin’s schedule. We appreciate all the love and care :D”
About: I’ve always been an animal lover and have hands-on experience caring for cats through having my own 3-year-old cat, Spot, who I’ve raised since he was a kitten. This has given me experience with everything from energetic and playful kitten stages through to caring for an adult cat and understanding their individual routines and personalities. I know that cats can be very particular about their environment and the people around them, so I’m patient and happy to let them interact with me at their own pace. Whether your cat loves attention and cuddles or prefers a little more space, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, refreshing water, litter tray cleaning, playtime and giving plenty of attention and enrichment. As a cat owner myself, I also understand how reassuring it is to know your cat is happy and being properly cared for, so I’d be more than happy to provide regular photos and updates during every visit. 🐱🐾
“I would highly recommend Kerenza! She carried out drop in visits for my two cats over three days whilst I was on holiday. Both cats fed, biscuits topped up, cuddled and let in or out as per their wishes. She also administered medication to my eldest cat Daisy on a daily basis. I felt at ease with her being able to do this and could fully enjoy my time away knowing my girls were in good hands. Communication was excellent throughout. Both cats seemed happy and relaxed when I got home. I wouldn’t hesitate using Kerenza again. Thank you.”
“Emma has been absolutely awesome. She has looked after my furball so well and I felt safe to have her in my home. Nothing was too much trouble I just wish I'd found Emma sooner. Definitely will rebook and recommend.”
“Gosia did a wonderful job caring for our cats and we were delighted to be able to book her again. She was punctual, caring, and sent great photos of our boys throughout the day. Thank you, Gosia!”
“Amazing! Shani shared with us a lovely review of what happened with our kittens when she came over to feed and play with them while we were staying out overnight. Shani took lots of photos of them playing but also of the kittens eating and the cleaned out litter box. Really kept us at ease that they had someone great looking after them for the evening. Would definitely ask Shani to come over again.”
About: I am a caring and reliable cat owner with experience looking after cats. I have my own cat and I have also looked after four cats for a friend. I am comfortable feeding cats, providing fresh water, cleaning litter trays, playing with them and giving them attention while their owners are away. I understand that every cat has a different personality and routine, and I will always follow the owner's instructions carefully. I am happy to send photos and updates during each visit.

Size and Breed Familiarity: Comfortable handling all cat breeds and sizes, respecting their boundaries and personal space. Clean Environment: Diligent upkeep of litter boxes, food areas, and water fountains to keep your cat comfortable.

“Thank you so much for looking after our dog Tupla this week! We needed to find someone at extremely short notice to look after our dog for a day, Manu was brilliant with Tupla, she had a really great day, lots of attention, sniffing games and a walk! We got sent lots of cute photos and videos throughout the day and were given a happily wiped out dog in the evening, she slept for the entire 4 hours in the car while we were driving back home! :)”
“Odeta has been AMAZING with my puppy! This was my first time using Rover for daycare and Odeta was truly a blessing. She was so friendly and approachable, and she sent updates throughout the day, so I never had to worry that Charlie wasn’t in safe hands. I am already planning on booking in with her again for next week - I would highly recommend her. Thanks so much, Odeta🐶❤️”
“Willow had a fantastic time at Olivia’s! Olivia had great communication before, during and after Willow’s stay. She was also really understanding around our timings which we really appreciated. Thank you so much!”
“Enola had a fabulous time with Rachel. She was really great at communicating before and during the visit and gave a really detailed update in the report card which I thought was so nice! I’ll definitely be using Rachel again and would really recommend her too 😊”
“Sam was amazing with Archie. Kept us updated throughout the day, took Archie for 2 walks (despite the rain!), sent photo updates, and was overall very welcoming and helpful. Would definitely use Sam again!”
“Toby loved his first stay and can’t wait to have more, two walks, cuddles and treats. Jordan and her parents are brilliant and Toby was so well looked after. Pictures and updates were fab x”
About: I have always looked after dogs and other pets. My part time job when I’m in my home town is an assistant at a doggy day care. We have always had dogs and pets growing up and used to live on a farm. I’m very used to always being around lots of different dogs and absolutely love them. I’m a caring responsible hard worker. I am currently at university and attend 3 days a week maximum 4 hours. There is always someone in the house as we are a house hold of 5. Everyone in our family loves dogs. We have a large garden and are about a 5 minute walk from a huge dog park. I have a fenced garden and large space for the dog to run around. Our house is big and we do not mind the dogs on the furniture. I would make sure that your pet is cared for to the best of my ability
About: Hi, we’re Leah (you can call me Leah – my legal name is Youngkyung) and Cameron, a cat loving couple based in Nottingham! 🐱💕 Cameron grew up with his beloved cat, Tiger, who was by his side for 22 wonderful years. Tiger taught Cameron the true meaning of love and care, and I (Leah) joined his life 5 years ago, having the privilege of caring for her as well. Even in the short time I spent with Tiger, I learned how special the bond between a person and their pet can be. As Tiger became a senior, we developed our skills in caring for older cats, learning to provide specialized attention to their unique needs. This includes administering medications, understanding dietary requirements, and ensuring they have a comfortable and safe environment. I am currently dedicated to full-time Rover cat sitting, while Cameron works full-time in retail management. This arrangement allows me to promise full availability and a reliable backup plan, ensuring your precious kitty receives the personalized attention they deserve whenever needed. One of the greatest benefits of choosing us as your kitty’s sitters is our heartfelt commitment as a couple to provide flexible and loving care. We’ve both missed having a furry companion in our lives! We live in a cozy, cat-friendly flat, perfect for welcoming your kitty into a quiet and safe space. Our flat especially has a door separating the living room from the entrance to ensure a secure environment for your cat. We’re non-smokers, and our home is peaceful and warm. Ideal setting for your pet to feel relaxed and cared for! 🌿☀️ Let us be your kitty’s next best friends! We can’t wait to meet them and give them all the love and attention they deserve. With us, your kitty will always feel right at home! 💓💓 P.S. I can take the best pictures of your kitty while you’re away!
About: I owned two dogs when I was in Italy. I was responsible for caring for my dog since I was 13. My dog lived 15 years and the second is now 12 but he is in Italy with my sister. We went for walks in the forest and loved going to the park to play with other dogs. I have experience in walking different sizes of dogs. I also have 8 years experience in looking after guinea pigs. I have 2 cats that can be separated from pets boarding in a different room I only take bookings the weekends when I am at home to ensure your pet will not be left alone for long periods and will receive consistent care throughout the day. I may be home some days during the week and I will update my calendar accordingly. Lots of cuddles and stimulation. Always supervised and have a pet camera. I make sure to follow the pets routine and keep owner up to date with messages and pictures
About: Hello, We are a family of five, with a 14-year-old and 5-year-old twins. Dogs have always been a big part of our family. I (Louis) grew up with our family dog, Bruno, and both my mum and sister have dogs of their own, Ed and Stan, who we spend lots of time with. My partner, Ellie, also grew up with several dogs, including Stanley, Macca and Lola, and her family currently has Rufus the Dachshund. We're absolutely ready to give all our love and care to a dog of our own. However, as Ellie and I are currently in the early stages of launching our own businesses, we've decided that caring for other people's dogs is the best fit for us right now. It allows us to enjoy spending time with dogs while making sure we can give them the attention and care they deserve. We'd love the opportunity to look after your dog and look forward to hearing from you. Kind regards, Louis, Ellie, Theo, Marcie & Daphne Pet care fits naturally into our routine. Ellie and I both work flexibly while building our own businesses, so we're able to plan our days around a dog's needs. Daily walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention would all be part of our schedule. As a family, we also enjoy spending time outdoors, so any dog staying with us would get lots of exercise, company, and affection throughout the day. We treat every dog as if they were our own. We'll always follow the owner's routine for feeding, walks, medication (if needed), and any house rules to help them feel comfortable and settled. Whether in our home or yours, we'll make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, playtime, and exercise, while keeping you updated with photos and messages so you know they're happy and well cared for. Our garden has fences on 2 sides and a bush on the other. Dogs are able to get through with some persistence but we just put dogs on a lead when sniffing around or going to the toilet. No incidents to date.
About: I’m a caring, patient and responsible person who absolutely loves animals. I always treat every pet with kindness, attention and respect for their individual needs. I had a beloved dog chow chow who sadly passed away three years ago, so I understand how special the bond between a pet and their owner can be. I also have experience caring for more demanding dogs, including a friend’s dog with multiple allergies, which required extra care and attention. I would be happy to give your pet lots of love, attention, walks and cuddles, while making sure they feel safe, comfortable and well cared for. 🐾❤️ I work from 8am to 1:30pm, so I’m home for most of the day. I don’t have any pets of my own, so your pet can feel comfortable and relaxed in my home, just like they’re at their own home. 🐾 Your pet will be welcomed into a calm, loving home where they can feel safe and comfortable. I have a fully fenced garden and no children I’m happy to provide lots of walks, playtime, cuddles and attention, depending on what your pet enjoys and needs
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have always loved caring for them. I have a dog of my own who lives with my parents, and I’ve been taking care of him since I was growing up, so I’m very comfortable with the responsibilities that come with looking after a dog. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I’m happy to follow their usual schedule and give them plenty of attention, care, and affection. I’m also comfortable staying in someone’s home and making sure both their dog and home are well looked after while they’re away. I’m reliable, responsible, and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs. My priority is making sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. 🐶❤️ As a university student, I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to caring for pets. My days can vary, but I’m able to work my routine around a dog’s needs, whether that’s morning walks, feeding, playtime, or simply keeping them company throughout the day. I really enjoy having dogs around, and I’m happy to give them plenty of attention and make sure they get the exercise, care, and companionship they’re used to. My flexible university schedule also means I can be available during the day and adapt to different routines and requirements. 🐶🐾 I always want pets to feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed while they’re in my care. I take the time to understand their usual routine, personality, and any specific needs before looking after them. I’m responsible and respectful of both the pet and their home. I make sure doors and gates are secure, keep an eye on pets when they’re outside, and follow their feeding, walking, and medication routines if needed. I also keep their environment clean and tidy. Most importantly, I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and plenty of attention. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I’ll always do my best to give them the same care and love I would want for my own dog. 🐶❤️

“Devon is walking our rescue dog Harley💙 with separation anxiety on a regular basis we can see Harley bonding with Devon as he is a gentle knowledgeable kind person who keeps us informed of progress Devon is reliable, trustworthy and I wouldn’t leave my dog with just anybody He has taken time to build Harley’s confidence with him and as a result Harley leaves happily for his walks with Devon😊”
“Odeta has done a fantastic job looking after Rita while out on walks. She has taken great care to make sure the dog is safe in the surrounding, and paid great attention to what the dog needs while out. Rita can be very energetic but this hasn’t fazed Odeta, who seems very comfortable with dogs. She’s easy to communicate with and keeps us informed while out by sending lots of pictures and videos. Would highly recommend her.”
About: Hi, I'm Lorna-Rose! I've always loved dogs and being around them. Unfortunately, I can't have one of my own at the moment because I still live with my parents, so dog walking and pet sitting is the perfect way for me to spend time with them while helping other owners. I work from home, which means I can provide your dog with plenty of company, attention and care throughout the day rather than leaving them home alone. Whether they enjoy playing, snoozing beside me while I work, or heading out for walks, I'll make sure they feel comfortable, happy and loved. I'm a very active person and enjoy getting outdoors every day. I regularly go for walks on my lunch breaks and again after work, so your dog will get plenty of exercise and fresh air. I'm also the go-to dog sitter in my family! I've looked after my brother's two greyhounds for six weeks while he was away on his honeymoon, and I continue to care for them for weeks at a time throughout the year. On top of that, I've looked after several of my cousins' dogs while they've been on holiday, so I'm comfortable caring for different breeds, personalities and routines. I understand that every dog is unique, and I'll always take the time to learn their individual needs, whether that's energetic adventures, slower strolls, playtime or simply lots of cuddles. I'll treat your dog as if they were my own and make sure they're safe, happy and well cared for while you're away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I'll always keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you can relax knowing they're in good hands. I can't wait to meet you and your furry friend! I have a flexible schedule and am happy to provide dog sitting throughout the week and weekends. As I work from home, I can offer plenty of company and attention during the day. For dog walking, I’m available on weekdays before 8am, during my lunch break, or in the evenings after work. I’m also available for longer walks and visits at weekends. Your dog’s safety, happiness and comfort will always be my priority. I’ll take the time to understand their routine, personality and any specific needs so I can make their stay as familiar as possible. I’m happy to follow the same schedule and routines they have at home, including any rules around furniture or sleeping arrangements (if they’re allowed in the bed at home, they’re welcome to have cuddles with me!). As I work from home, your dog will have plenty of company throughout the day and won’t be left alone for long periods. I’ll keep you updated with regular messages and photos, my family often jokes they get bombarded with pictures of all the dogs I look after!
“Emma has been absolutely fantastic, we were nervous about introducing our dog to new people to walk him. They were amazing at building a relationship with Loki and going at his pace. They've helped him build his confidence and been incredibly supportive to me as a new dog owner. Couldn't recommend highly enough.”
“Weronika is extremely diligent, making sure to collect all the necessary information and compiling it into a file that can be easily accessed and used to inform her practice. Most importantly Irma loved her and enjoyed her company very much.”
About: I have been a pet owner my whole life of both dogs and cats. I have a family dog, a cockerpoo called George who is now 7. I used to look after him when my dad was away. I cater to all needs and will amend my services where possible. I have a 3 year old Husky/Labrador called Milo. He is a very social dog and it would be nice if he made some friends. He has 3 walks a day. I can also walk the dog without Milo. I’ll ensure the dog is safe and always on a lead. I am very friendly and go the extra mile. I have a car so I can either walk local or drive somewhere dependant on the location. Thank you I work from home 4 days a week, my dog has 3 walks a day so I am already in routine. Tuesdays are office days but I can do the odd Tuesday if booked in advance. I have a fenced garden and Milo, my dog to keep your pet company. He is well trained and is always on the lead. He is very playful and friendly.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, so caring for animals has always been a huge part of my day-to-day life. I currently have a young greyhound puppy of my own, which has given me plenty of recent hands-on experience with puppy care, including toilet training, lead walking, building confidence, establishing routines and positive reinforcement. My family dog is now a senior, so I also have experience caring for older dogs and understand that they can require a gentler pace, extra patience and care tailored to their individual needs. I’m also a cat owner to my 3-year-old cat, Spot, who I’ve had since he was a kitten. This has given me experience with both kitten and adult cat care, so I’m very comfortable looking after both dogs and cats. Having pets of my own means I completely understand how important it is to trust the person caring for them. I’m patient, reliable and attentive, and I’ll always treat someone else’s pet as I would my own. I’m happy to follow their usual routines, accommodate individual needs and make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection and reassurance while in my care. Pet care already plays a big part in my everyday routine as I have pets of my own, so fitting walks, drop-ins and pet sitting into my week comes very naturally. I’m organised and flexible with my time and will always make sure I have plenty of time for each pet, rather than rushing visits. I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual feeding, walking and toilet routine wherever possible, as I know how important consistency can be for keeping them happy and settled. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my priority. When caring for pets in their own home, I’ll follow your instructions closely and respect their existing routine, environment and boundaries. I’ll take the time to get to know their personality and allow nervous or shy pets to approach me at their own pace. On walks, I’ll keep dogs securely on lead unless specifically agreed otherwise and pay close attention to their behaviour, surroundings and interactions with other dogs. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy and receiving plenty of attention and affection while they’re with me. 🐾

I have worked with many different types of animals as part of my course and my own pets from dogs to cats and birds to chickens. I currently have a open and flexible schedule to fit in booking's. I am university student and I can fit booking’s and take care of your pet’s around my studies. Dog walking is something I genuinely enjoy and is one of the rewarding part’s of my day. If you have any questions, feel free to message me and I will respond as quick as I can. While walking your dog, I will personalise the walk to suit their personality, energy levels and their need's to ensuring they are safe and happy.

“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.”
“Rachel is amazing sitter, I cant recommend enough! She was look after my dog when I was in a long holiday and she do everything just to make sure my dog feel good and happy! 100% if I need to leave my dog again is gonna be her and her partner! Everyday pictures and videos from her and my dog everytime was looks so happy what is the most important!”
“Leah was brilliant with our Frank, an older boy, they made sure he was well taken care of. Went a little off his breakfast with the heatwave but Leah couldn’t have been more helpful, even picking up particular foods to help him. Lots of pictures and updates to put us at ease. A regular for us now no doubt ☺️”
“Aileen, Nathan and their family are wonderful with Bella. We always know that she's going to be well cared for and have a lovely stay with them. We're so happy to have found them 🥰”
“Ted stayed with Grace and Brandon for 9 days. It was the first time Ted had stayed with them, but just from the meet and greet previously it was obvious they were a lovely couple who loved animals. While we were away we had messages and photos of Ted . When we picked Ted up he was calm and happy and we knew he had been looked after by fantastic sitters.”
“Zoe is an absolute gem! She took such incredible care of my two dogs, Benji and Molly, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. She was so thoughtful, sending regular updates and adorable pictures throughout their stay, which gave me such peace of mind. It was clear they were having the best time, constantly out on walks and even becoming part of the family by getting along so well with hers. I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who truly treats your pets like their own!”
“For most trips, we leave the girls with family, but a big family holiday meant we needed to find another solution. Kennels weren’t right for us, so we turned to Rover. We went through a lot of profiles, but Helen’s really stood out: a peaceful location and a one‑dog policy, which was ideal as one of our girls is very anxious around other dogs. After a pre‑visit, we felt completely reassured. During their stay, Helen sent daily updates and photos showing how settled and content they were — from relaxing around the house to enjoying their walks. They looked genuinely happy. We’d absolutely recommend Helen and her family. If we need a sitter again, they’ll be our first choice.”
“Couldn't recommend Sam highly enough. Being g the first time weve used Rover comes with the normal anxieties but Sam is pretty much the perfect dog sitter and made us feel comfortable from the outset and his golden retriever Sam was the perfect energetic dog for our labrador teddy. Thanks again Sam.”
“This was the first time we have used dog boarding. I was slightly nervous at first as we had a 5 month old Labrador. From our first meeting I felt reassured. Sylvia was professional, welcoming and you could tell she was a real love for dogs. During our trip she sent pictures and let us know that he had settled well. 5 stars isn’t enough we truly are really happy with the care Dexter received and wouldn’t hesitate to use Sylvia in the future.”
“Sam was very happy and well looked after with Karina. He had plenty of space inside and out to feel comfortable. I know he was spoilt during his 'holiday' here and will definitely look to return next time. Thanks so much ☺️”
About: I’m a caring, patient and responsible person who absolutely loves animals. I always treat every pet with kindness, attention and respect for their individual needs. I had a beloved dog chow chow who sadly passed away three years ago, so I understand how special the bond between a pet and their owner can be. I also have experience caring for more demanding dogs, including a friend’s dog with multiple allergies, which required extra care and attention. I would be happy to give your pet lots of love, attention, walks and cuddles, while making sure they feel safe, comfortable and well cared for. 🐾❤️ I work from 8am to 1:30pm, so I’m home for most of the day. I don’t have any pets of my own, so your pet can feel comfortable and relaxed in my home, just like they’re at their own home. 🐾 Your pet will be welcomed into a calm, loving home where they can feel safe and comfortable. I have a fully fenced garden and no children I’m happy to provide lots of walks, playtime, cuddles and attention, depending on what your pet enjoys and needs
About: I think my super power is making instant connections with animals. In my heart I feel that all animals are my friends. Over the years I have taken care of many injured animals (cats, dogs and many birds) and helped rehabilitate them. Their comfort brings me true joy. I have an 8 years old Labrador named Hope back home and at one point of time in my life I was fostering 8 cats. I miss my dog and cats and spending time around your babies would help me with the home sickness that I seldom feel. I am a full-time master’s student at the Loughborough university. We don’t have classes on the Tuesdays and the weekends. I can easily manage taking care of dogs and cats on the days I don’t have any classes. I can engage the dogs easily into plays, take them on walks at regular intervals. I am good at reading their mood and anticipating their needs.
“My dog Maisie seemed very happy when she stayed with Liz - and I was tremendously reassured by Liz's experience and empathy with dogs. Liz's house is very dog friendly and has a lovely garden plus good walking options nearby. And Maisie loved the fuss and attention she received. I would definitely ask Liz to look after Maisie again and indeed have already made my next booking.”
“Grainne took really good care of George at late notice when I had to be called out of town for work. It was during a heatwave and George was kept cool and stimulated with Oscar! He has been sleepjnf like a log since he has come home.”
About: We have grown up with dogs and as a family we have always had dogs. We have also cared for friends and families dogs. We have our own dog,a shitzu, who loves company plus we live right next to a beautiful county park and big exposed field. We are a fun lovely family of four.
