“John & Teresa looked after our ‘giant teddy bear’ Calli for 8 nights in February while we went abroad. We had previously had a one night trial to ensure all went well. Leaving a dog is a big decision - but with John & Teresa, we knew all would be well as soon as we first met them. They are true dog lovers who ensured that Calli was well looked after and given long and varied walks to keep her happy. When it came time to collect Calli, it was very clear that she had made a special bond with John & Teresa and that was lovely to see. We have already booked another 8 night stay in April. Thanks John & Teresa for taking such good care of Calli-Bear.”
“Sheena is amazing! She always keeps me well informed so I never feel unaware of what’s going on. She’s great with Aiko always catering to her needs, like another member of the family. Definitely recommend Sheena, have no doubts she will take great care of your baby like she did mine ❤️”
“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”
“I needed a last-minute dog sitter. Thankfully, Leah was willing to accomodate my dog. I felt reassured that as soon as I stepped through the door, she was welcoming and friendly. Leah had already read all the care notes and was very attentive to my dogs extra needs. He enjoyed his stay and is lookong forward to the next visit.”
“Emily had a lovely time with Tarnya and her family! Everything about her stay was perfect! She seemed very happy and content and we were sent daily feedback on her progress which was very comforting for both of us. Thank you for a lovely stay and we can highly recommend for any future visits! Thanks again X”
“Manu and her family looked after my temperamental frenchie for 10 days, and i can confirm he loved it. Didn't even seemed to want to come home! I got sent videos and pictures daily, he had plenty of exercise and fun play time. Got him back happy and relaxed. Loving family environment, home to home for our pooches. So happy i gave it a try! Thank you! Stitch and Csilla ☺️”
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.
“Charlie stayed for a week and it was lovely to not worry about her. We knew she was being well looked after and had regular picture updates. She was clearly happy and felt right at home. It’s not the first time she has stayed with Jamie and it won’t be the last.”
“Looked after Mylo to the highest standard. Was welcoming, lovely and compassionate. I will be using you again to look after Mylo. You catered for his needs and looked after him as if he was your own. I appreciate the short notice and thank you again! 😊”
About: Since being a little girl, I have found so much peace being among animals. I have owned nearly every furry under the sun (dogs, cats, rabbits, guineas, mice, hamsters and more!) and love the unique personality each animal has. I have a soft spot for rescues, most of my pets have been strays and love being able to show them that the world can be a good place with the right people in it! A few years of my working life was spent in a kennels and cattery, and have recently been running a Nature School for children, where we explore and care for wildlife, animals and the world around us. It has been great to pass on my love for the animal world, to the next generation. All ages and stages of life are welcome, from pups and kittens, right through to the OAPs - and the care I offer is tailored to each animal as an individual. I will ensure I follow your instructions and care plan to ensure everyone is as happy as they can be. I've spent my entire life working with animals and children - and yes maybe you do need to be a little crazy to do that! But I do thoroughly enjoy the chaos and pure love they bring everyday. I'd be honoured to care for your beloved pets, and give you peace of mind for when you can't be there. From July, I will be working from home, so can offer the flexibility you desire. I have my children's school run twice a day, so have ample time between 9am and 3.30pm to accommodate your furry friends. I will also be available most evenings for later visits and walks if required. Weekends I can also be flexible. My large car can fit any size dog in, so can drive to green spaces for walks if desired! I have a large tiered garden, consisting of artificial turf, a bark area and decking. The house is a detached 3 bed, with 2 downstairs sitting areas, so your pets have plenty to of space to choose where they feel most comfortable.During warm weather, dogs can access an outdoor animal friendly paddling pool, and our outside space has plenty of trees to provide natural shade and a cooler temperature.
“Jordan was great, it was Cardi's first time staying away and there were a few snags that Jordan and her mom were amazing and understanding about it. Jordan kept me updated and Cardi was happy to be there! Thank you so much.”
About: I've taken care of dogs of any kind since. I do my best to make dogs happy. I would love to take care of your dog. I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your dogs. I'm available for boarding at weekends. I have a fenced garden and some toys to keep your fur friend busy. I can easily crate your dog if needed. I always take dog for a walk.
“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.”
“I was let down literally last minute by a family friend and my only option was to find someone to who I have never met before and I am so happy we found Gary, he is brilliant, sent me updates and pictures throughout my dogs stay, he is so caring and loving and it just shines through. I 100% would recommend Gary, my dog has been so happy there and he really put my mind at rest. Thank you Gary”
“Amazing cat sitters !!! 10000% going back !! They were so reliable and so so thoughtful by sending me pictures and updates of my cat and made her feel so safe and loved (think she’s found her second parts). I couldn’t have asked for a better experience with such an amazing couple !!”
“Negin was amazing, being available last minute and giving Cardi much needed safety and love during a difficult few days for me and her! Easy to communicate, always kept me updated on how things were going and I could see how comfortable she was able to get Cardi to be. Totally recommended.”
About: My boyfriend and I both grew up with family dogs, and ever since moving in together had our own dog. We trained her via doggy school since she was a little pup and took her on many adventures that went as far as moving to the UK with her. We regularly looked after our families dogs as well when they went away on holiday. We unfortunately had to say goodbye to our little girl recently due to age. While we are looking for our next sweetheart, we have an abundance of love, walks and empty spots on the sofa for your furry friend! I work from home, but I occasionally have to travel for work and my partner is only 10 minutes away - both with flexible hours. This allows us to plan our days around your dogs needs! We live less then a minute walk from a big park and can easily go for multiple walks a day if they’re up to it. We also have a fully enclosed garden with space for running around. We’re flexible with your dogs needs, whether they require a crate to sleep in, prefer to sleep on the couch or on their doggy bed, just let us know. Near the end of her life, our dog became blind with different health issues. Going through this gives us experience to also take care of (senior) dogs who have a complex medical history. We have full flexibility for how we plan our working days. Whether we wake up early to go for a walk before breakfast, use our lunch break, or swap our evening sports for a long walk, we will adjust based on your dogs usual routine. With our enclosed garden, there’s plenty of playtime opportunities as well! In the weekend, we are able to make sure one of us is at home for most of the day if required. The garden is spacious and dog friendly. The house has enough room to place the dog’s personal bed or crate if needed. They are more then welcome to join us (and sleep) on our sofa as well. Feeding and walking are arranged to what they are used to, no matter how many times a day. Different medical routines are easily incorporated - experience with eye drops as well as regular pills.
“Coco is so attentive with the dogs that stay with her. I have no doubt that Obi prefers her meals to the ones he has at home and loves the company of her dog and others that stay with her. We get loads of updates and pictures whilst we are away, too. We highly recommend Pui Yan (or Coco)!”
About: I have 20 years + experience of caring for dogs, I am DBS checked and first aid trained ( human). Now I have more time on my hands I would love to care for your pooch. I enjoy taking long walks with my own little fella and love being outdoors. I have experience with puppies, nervous and excitable dogs. I enjoy the socialisation puppy and dog ownership brings and love nothing more than engaging with our dog walking community. I offer short walks, long walks, cuddles, play, interaction with your precious and loyal companions. Whatever the weather you will find me walking my own fur baby, teaching him to talk and having fun. I would love to walk more pooches and give them the attention and love they deserve.
“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!”

“Emma is absolutely amazing! We’ve booked with her a couple of times now for drop-in visits with our two indoor cats. Admittedly, they are a bit shy, but Emma cares for them so well & provides great updates after each visit. Genuinely could not recommend her more - thank you Emma! 😊”
“Laura is absolutely fabulous! She has watched Gidget and Dobby a couple times now, they absolutely love her. She gives them lots of attention and is so attentive to their care, never missing a feeding or a litter scoop. Highly recommend! ”
“It’s been so wonderful having Shani take care of my cat and kitten - she has been really thoughtful and considerate of their needs and bringing toys for them to play and explore. She sent me lots of pictures and it was such a weight off my mind to know she was there and they were being looked after.”
“Can't praise Kat enough, a genuine cat lover, trusted her completely with my boy. Went above and beyond, followed everything to a T and sent loads of lovely pics to put my mind at ease. My boy was content and relaxed on my return. Would 100% recommend 🙏😻”
“Thank you so much Donna for taking such good care of Bryan and Peaches whilst I was away! Knowing how stressed out they get in catteries it was so lovely knowing they were in their own home being so well looked after. The photo updates were a lovely touch and I'll definitely be 100% happy to use you again! 5 stars all round xx”
“Devon was absolutely brilliant with Kuda. He was reliable, calm, and clearly confident with dogs, which put me at ease straight away. Kuda was well cared for, happy, and relaxed during the visits, and communication throughout was great. I really appreciated the updates and the care shown — it’s clear Devon genuinely loves what he does. I wouldn’t hesitate to book again and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive sitter.”
“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.”
“Laura went above and beyond what we asked of her, and was very patient with our two shy kitties who were completely uncooperative about coming out of their hiding places for her. She responded really quickly to messages. Really happy with her service 😊”
“Rebecca is very kind and caring with my two cats, who are about a year old. One of them is extroverted and gets lots of cuddles from her during the visits! The other one is a bit more anxious, and Rebecca does a great job giving her space and making her feel safe. All kitty facilities are clean and tidy when I get back! She is the only sitter I've left the cats with and I plan to keep it that way :)”
“Kerenza was a great help taking care of our cat Sushi when we had to be away for the day while she was recovering from surgery with a feeding tube and medication. Her vet training meant that we could depend on her to administer the food and medication properly. It took so much of the stress out of having to be away for the day. I really appreciated Kerenza’s knowledge, reliability, and caring approach and highly recommend her for any pet sitting needs!”
“Rhiannon came for a pre-visit and collected the key. We talked about our cats needs and schedule. Rhiannon then arrived, on time, each day she was visiting Shadowfax and Wesley and sent us lots of photos and updates. Would definitely book Rhiannon again to look after Shadowfax and Wesley.”
“Yi-Fan was absolutely lovely and provided a professional service in taking care of my beloved cat with daily updates. I was super impressed with how my Charles was at ease with them when they interacted (normally, she doesn't like strangers). This reassured me immensely for future bookings. Thanks, Yi-Fan!”
“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. ”
About: Although I've never owned a cat of my own, I've been caring for other people's for a few years now. I've done drop in visits multiple times a day for different people when they were away for holiday, and was praised with how well i adapted to caring for them.
“Clara looked after and fed my three cats when I was away for 2 weeks! She sent daily photos to check in and made our holiday more enjoyable knowing they were getting fed and were in safe hands! Definitely recommend:)”
About: I have two. My cats are both vaccinated, and have regular treatments for fleas an and worms They have lots of toys and a tall cat tree. They enjoy spending time in the garden. I had cats growing up when I was living in Italy

“Here’s a warm, polished review you could post: We needed someone to look after Rupert due to a change in our work commitments, and we’re so glad we found Olivia. Olivia was absolutely fantastic with Rupert. It was clear from all the photos and videos that he had an amazing time and really enjoyed spending time with both Olivia and Jasper too! Seeing how happy he was throughout the day gave us complete peace of mind. Communication was excellent from start to finish, and Olivia kept us updated with plenty of photos and videos. They really made me smile during my workday and reassured me that Rupert was having the best time. Thank you so much, Olivia, for taking such great care of Rupert. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with you again and would highly recommend you to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter.”
“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”
“Its so wonderful having a warm loving home for my darling Lulu to go to when I'm away with work. Odeta is so good with her; Lulu's always so happy to see Odeta when she arrives. Pictures and videos throughout the day assure me Lulu's walked, cuddled, fed, and gets lots of attention and play time. Odetas home will be for sure, a place for Lulu for a long time to come 🙏🥰”
About: My partner Stuart and I are Volunteer foster carers for an animal shelter and have taken care of multiple dogs over the last couple years. My experiences mainly focus on small-mid sized dogs. We have a collie and I have a cat myself back home so I fully understand dogs’ and cats’ everyday needs, I have the right mindset for understanding their behaviours and am equipped with basic training skills. I’m working part time so am reasonably flexible. I live in NG5 area, but I could travel further as I drive. I’m open to short notice booking too. My partner (who’s also a volunteer foster carer) is home most of the time, although I will be the main carer giver in terms of walking the dog or playing with them. The house has a fenced garden, a spare room for the dog if they prefer, and it’s ideal for dog that doesn’t cope with being alone very well. Except from our bed, doggies are welcome in all around the household.
“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 😊”
About: I am a very friendly and athletic female. Enjoy long walks and even jogs with dogs, very careful and responsible. Absolutely convinced that a dog is a pupil's best friend. Am very motivated to create a bond with every dog I meet Used to walk two border-terriers for about 3 miles around the golf course which is an amazing path for the dogs. Would love to take care of your dogs and have a nice playful time with them! Working from home Monday to Friday, have plenty of time to go on a walk during the day. I have a pretty laid back schedule I have a big garden for a dog to enjoy, big gate and fencing, I live at Mapperley park with a lot of parks and greenery outside
“As a first-time puppy owner, I was very anxious about leaving Frankie for the day since it was his first time away from home. However, Laura’s incredible experience, enthusiasm, and genuine love for puppies instantly put me at ease. Knowing he was in such caring hands made all the difference. I couldn’t recommend Laura highly enough—we’ll definitely be coming back!”

About: Having had our dog, Koda, since last August, we have experience looking after a highly energetic little dog. As one of us is always working from home, we are able to provide ample care both inside and outside. We are able to provide pet care at any time providing there is enough notice for our dogs to meet first. One of us will always be at home so your dog will never be unaccompanied. We have an enclosed garden that is a nice size for a small run around. We also live a few minutes walk away from a number of parks that are very dog friendly.
“My partner and I came down from Canterbury for the CrossFit European championships and were looking for someone to mind our dog Shadow. Rhiannon saved us as we thought we were going to have to leave him behind. Rhiannon was great with Shadow! He stayed with Rhiannon Saturday and Sunday day and was excited to be back on Sunday, which was lovely to see. Rhiannon lives with house mates and they all got on so well with Shadow. Can’t recommend enough, they were so accommodating to Shadow and sent me lots of updates and pictures. Shadow got lots of cuddles and walks during his stay and was tired both days we picked him up, which meant we could relax! Thanks again Rhiannon, Shadow had a blast!”
“Oscar had a great time today with Sarah and Monty! The weather was hot and they played very nicely together. Sarah was very thoughtful and took Oscar for walks and watched over as they played in the garden. Thank you very much for looking after him.so well.”
About: I have a gap in fostering dogs right now and would love to offer help with your furry friends so you can feel at ease while you’re away. I have my own business and work from home so am pretty flexible to whatever your pets requires to feel at ease. I’m often around and can pick up last minute requests. I’ve joined rover as a sitter because I usually foster dogs and have struggled to find reliable, local sitters and so understand the importance of what is needed when you leave your loved one with a sitter while you are away. Whether it be while you’re at work or on holiday, rest assured your baby will be loved and cared for. I have a small but enclosed garden with 6 foot fencing which is perfect for a run around. I offer a tailored service so we can talk about what best suits your dog when we meet.
About: I have years of experience looking after pets, I grew up around cats and dogs and even looked after a family friends tortoise when they went on holiday. Nowadays I have my own cat and dog who I love and take care of every aspect of their lives, from playtime, walkies, litter trays, feeding, and administering medication. I also have experience working on a farm and assisting with looking after the farmyard animals and am attuned to their unique needs and feeding schedules. I am currently studying at university full time so I have plenty of free time to help with walks or check-ins. I keep my calendar up to date and on my days off and weekends I am flexible I take your guidelines very seriously and your pets safety is my priority. I will ensure that your dog is kept on the lead at all times and maintain good road safety. I make sure to keep them away from other dogs. I will ensure there are no escape routes from the garden when letting your cat/dog outside and that the house is secure so they cannot get into rooms they shouldn’t have access to. I keep your pets in my sight at all times and can provide updates for you.
“Silvia took good care of our Bella when she stayed for the day. Bella enjoyed playing with Silvia’s dog Milo and she came home happy & tired. Would be happy to leave Bella with Silvia and her family again. Communication was excellent from Silvia and she would always reply quickly.”

“Devon walked my dog Toby every day while I was away on holiday. It was very reassuring to know that he was someone I could absolutely trust, and have great confidence in him knowing how reliable he is, and also having the knowledge, experience, and affinity with dogs that Devon obviously has.”
“Emma and Will have been fantastic with Loki, who can be a handful. They communicate really well and provide lovely updates from their walks with Loki. They've been amazing at working with Loki's pace, as quite a nervous dog we weren't sure about getting a walker, but Emma and Will have gone above and beyond to make us feel reassured.”
About: Hi I am the proud foster Mummy to a lovely tabby cat called Charlotte. She is my world ♡ Charlotte got lost at Skegness a while back for 27 days, but after a lot of hard work, tears and sleepless nights I found her and she was brought safely back home. I look forward to meeting you and looking after your fur babies when you and they need some extra help with lots of fuss and cuddles xx Any of my friends can tell you I adore cats.

About: Hello! I am a Nottingham Trent University student raising money for Meningitis Research Foundation. I grew up with dogs (Jack Russell terriers, a golden lab, and a German pointer mix) and I was a dog walker for about a year many years ago. I am also a runner, so if you would prefer I take your dogs for a run, just let me know! I’d love to get to know you and your doggies :) I currently work part time at an art studio and am studying for my masters in fine arts at NTU, but my schooling is quite flexible and my work is less than 20 hours per week so I am able to find time around these responsibilities. For walks I care for the dogs by allowing them to stop and explore when they want and by bringing water and a small bowl for if they get thirsty on a longer walk. I also will take the dogs for a run if that is something you would like. For dog sitting I will let the pups out every couple hours or when they want, I will feed them when needed, fix them with clean water, take them for a walk at least once per day, and of course play with them and give them lots of pets
“Very happy with the walk we had booked with Rebecca! Our dog is quite anxious and reactive, and Rebecca made sure to cater to our dog's needs, keep us updated with a photo and some videos and also gave a good overview of the walk. It was our first time using a dog walker and she definitely made us feel safe about leaving our dog with her! Thank you ☺️”

I'll follow your pet's usual routine, including feeding schedules, walks, medication (if required), and any special instructions. I take time to build trust with every pet, provide plenty of love and attention, and ensure they feel secure whether I'm caring for them in your home or out on a walk. I'll also send regular updates and photos so you know your pet is happy and well cared for.
About: Since being a little girl, I have found so much peace being among animals. I have owned nearly every furry under the sun (dogs, cats, rabbits, guineas, mice, hamsters and more!) and love the unique personality each animal has. I have a soft spot for rescues, most of my pets have been strays and love being able to show them that the world can be a good place with the right people in it! A few years of my working life was spent in a kennels and cattery, and have recently been running a Nature School for children, where we explore and care for wildlife, animals and the world around us. It has been great to pass on my love for the animal world, to the next generation. All ages and stages of life are welcome, from pups and kittens, right through to the OAPs - and the care I offer is tailored to each animal as an individual. I will ensure I follow your instructions and care plan to ensure everyone is as happy as they can be. I've spent my entire life working with animals and children - and yes maybe you do need to be a little crazy to do that! But I do thoroughly enjoy the chaos and pure love they bring everyday. I'd be honoured to care for your beloved pets, and give you peace of mind for when you can't be there. From July, I will be working from home, so can offer the flexibility you desire. I have my children's school run twice a day, so have ample time between 9am and 3.30pm to accommodate your furry friends. I will also be available most evenings for later visits and walks if required. Weekends I can also be flexible. My large car can fit any size dog in, so can drive to green spaces for walks if desired! I have a large tiered garden, consisting of artificial turf, a bark area and decking. The house is a detached 3 bed, with 2 downstairs sitting areas, so your pets have plenty to of space to choose where they feel most comfortable.During warm weather, dogs can access an outdoor animal friendly paddling pool, and our outside space has plenty of trees to provide natural shade and a cooler temperature.
About: Hi! I’m a caring and reliable pet sitter with a genuine love for animals and helping people. I’m currently looking after a 13-year-old King Charles Spaniel on a temporary basis. She’s a lovely, quiet older girl, and I enjoy giving her the calm, gentle care she needs at this stage of life. I also gained lots of hands-on experience helping at my partner’s mum’s home, where she has dachshunds, huskies, and puppies. I regularly fed them, cleaned out their spaces, let them out for walks, and gave them plenty of attention and playtime. I’m comfortable with different breeds, energy levels, and ages – from lively young pups to calm seniors. As a carer by nature, I’m patient, responsible, and attentive. Whether it’s a daily walk, feeding, playtime, or just keeping your pet company while you’re away, I treat every animal like my own. I’m happy to look after dogs. I’d love to help you and your furry friends! Im currently unemployed so have a lot of free time to care for your pet! I will care for them as needed, they will be fed, go on walks and have a lot of fuss! I have a big back garden where the dogs will be able to run around, enjoy themselves! They will be able to go on many walks with myself at the local park which is 5 minute walk away

“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”
“I needed a last-minute dog sitter. Thankfully, Leah was willing to accomodate my dog. I felt reassured that as soon as I stepped through the door, she was welcoming and friendly. Leah had already read all the care notes and was very attentive to my dogs extra needs. He enjoyed his stay and is lookong forward to the next visit.”
“Emily had a lovely time with Tarnya and her family! Everything about her stay was perfect! She seemed very happy and content and we were sent daily feedback on her progress which was very comforting for both of us. Thank you for a lovely stay and we can highly recommend for any future visits! Thanks again 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.

“Jordan was great, it was Cardi's first time staying away and there were a few snags that Jordan and her mom were amazing and understanding about it. Jordan kept me updated and Cardi was happy to be there! Thank you so much.”
About: My boyfriend and I both grew up with family dogs, and ever since moving in together had our own dog. We trained her via doggy school since she was a little pup and took her on many adventures that went as far as moving to the UK with her. We regularly looked after our families dogs as well when they went away on holiday. We unfortunately had to say goodbye to our little girl recently due to age. While we are looking for our next sweetheart, we have an abundance of love, walks and empty spots on the sofa for your furry friend! I work from home, but I occasionally have to travel for work and my partner is only 10 minutes away - both with flexible hours. This allows us to plan our days around your dogs needs! We live less then a minute walk from a big park and can easily go for multiple walks a day if they’re up to it. We also have a fully enclosed garden with space for running around. We’re flexible with your dogs needs, whether they require a crate to sleep in, prefer to sleep on the couch or on their doggy bed, just let us know. Near the end of her life, our dog became blind with different health issues. Going through this gives us experience to also take care of (senior) dogs who have a complex medical history. We have full flexibility for how we plan our working days. Whether we wake up early to go for a walk before breakfast, use our lunch break, or swap our evening sports for a long walk, we will adjust based on your dogs usual routine. With our enclosed garden, there’s plenty of playtime opportunities as well! In the weekend, we are able to make sure one of us is at home for most of the day if required. The garden is spacious and dog friendly. The house has enough room to place the dog’s personal bed or crate if needed. They are more then welcome to join us (and sleep) on our sofa as well. Feeding and walking are arranged to what they are used to, no matter how many times a day. Different medical routines are easily incorporated - experience with eye drops as well as regular pills.
“Coco is so attentive with the dogs that stay with her. I have no doubt that Obi prefers her meals to the ones he has at home and loves the company of her dog and others that stay with her. We get loads of updates and pictures whilst we are away, too. We highly recommend Pui Yan (or Coco)!”
“This was the first time our 9 year old Dalmatian has stayed with anyone other than family and the stay would not have gone better, he settled straight away. Really appreciated the updates we received and the love that was shown by Patrycja and partner. Thank you so much.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Odeta was really welcoming and listened to my dogs requirement and needs. She sent me lots of updates, took my dog on lots of walks and played with her loads! Liz looked so happy throughout her stay, and I will certainly be booking again! Thank you”
“I am extremely pleased with the care Jackson received today, from my initial call and conversation I knew that Jackson would be in safe experienced hands. Throughout the day I was updated with text and photos of Jacksons adventures, and a great one of him having a nap looking all at home and cosy. Exceptional service given.”
“Maisey had such a wonderful time with nick and his family l knew Maisey was in safe hands. Nick kept us upto date with lots of beautiful pics of Maisey we cant thank you enough for having her and will definitely book Nick in the future”
“Grace recently looked after our reactive rescue staffie Daisy when we went away for the weekend. We did a meet and greet , which was easy to organise and Grace was very welcoming. We hadn't used Grace before for daycare, so we were a little anxious about Daisy stopping overnight as her first visit but she settled really fast and had a great time. We received regular updates and photos (where we could tell that Daisy was genuinely happy!) and our advice regarding Daisy's routine was followed well 🙂 we will definitely be asking Grace to sit Daisy again in future and would recommend her to anyone.”
“I was apprehensive about leaving Bertha with anyone apart from family, we found helen and so glad we did! Bertha was cared for and looked after like their own, I received plenty of updates and photos whilst away that helped to put my mind at ease. Helen is great and I will definitely be booking again for next time!”
“Amazing experience..it was my 1st time with Rover and Alicja was awesome. She kept me updated with pictures about cookie and what he was doing. Quick response…. Would definitely suggest her. Thanks Alicja☺️☺️”
