“Shaun and his family looked after my dog so well - he had a wonderful time. They are very caring and they were very happy to walk and play with my dog. I am very grateful and I will certainly be calling on them again. Thank you!”
“This was our first time using a dog sitter, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience! From the start, communication was great, and we got daily updates with pictures and videos of him playing with the other dogs — that put us at ease knowing he was enjoying himself. He came home happy, tired, and clearly well cared for. We’ll definitely be booking again!”
“Snoop had a lovely time with Jakub and his family. The whole process has been so easy with Jakub responding to messages quickly. We were kept updated with pictures and messages about Snoop throughout the stay, even going above and beyond by creating an image postcard of Snoop wishing us a happy wedding day. Very sweet touch. 100% would recommend.”
“My husky puppy was instantly at ease with Molly. She is a caring, professional, punctual and trustworthy pet sitter. My usually nervous husky was instantly at ease. Highly recommend.”
About: We’ve both grown up with dogs and have experience caring for them from a young age, so we understand the importance of routine, exercise, patience and plenty of attention.

What sets us apart is that your dog will have a calm, home-based environment with someone around regularly. I work from home a couple of days a week, while my partner works night shifts, meaning there is usually someone at home. We also have a secure, fenced garden with plenty of space for playtime.

Most importantly, we’ll treat your dog as part of the family and make sure they feel safe, settled and well cared for.

“Laurie was amazing with my boys and they now have another friend to visit. When we initially met she was thoughtful with the questions she asked about my boys and considered things I hadn’t thought of. She sent pictures of her adventures with my boys as well as being snuggled at the end of the day. I was fully reassured that they were having a great time as much as I was. Will definitely ask Laurie again and would highly recommend.”
“Loki was so well looked after! He loves Tom and his family, and is always excited when we turn into their road. Tom sends updates regularly so that we don't worry. Can't thank them enough.”
“Carla and Jim looked after our dog Mila for us, they are really friendly & professional. They welcomed Mila into their home with their dog Marlow and she couldn’t have settled better. Carla and Jim looked after Mila perfectly, they sent us regular updates and photos of how Mila was getting on, so whilst we were away we knew that Mila was safe and happy. We would highly recommend Carla and Jim, they are caring, kind, thoughtful and really accommodating. We will definitely be using Carla and Jim again as we feel completely happy and safe leaving our dogs with them. Thank you again x”

“Mandy was amazing and I would have no hesitation in recommending. The only challenge was the dogs didn’t appear to be as excited as they normally are when I return which speaks volumes! I also really appreciated the regular updates, photos and videos.”
“Jo and Ian were the perfect sitters for our Millie. They keep us updated throughout her stay re how she was getting on and sent photos so we could see how relaxed and happy she was, as well as being perfectly spoilt throughout her stay. We would definitely use them again.”

About: I am happiest when with dogs, they really are man’s best friend. I am always pottering in the garden when it’s nice, or reading by the fire when it’s not! We also have lovely woods to walk in nearby. I have had dogs for as long as I can remember, but no longer have my own. I am retired and love spending time with dogs. We live in the beautiful Burghley estate so are truly spoilt for walking spots. I am up early to feed the chickens and more often than not, tending to my garden. Would be happy to have some canine company. I have a fully dog proofed garden with large lawn and plenty of space to explore. We have a long driveway, and gate, not that many cars come this way! We walk a minute to beautiful wooded areas
“Evie was wonderful with my border collie Bear, very friendly, great communication throughout his stay with her and sent photos with updates. We will definitely be using Evie again.”

About: Having had dogs in the family since I was a child and having my own for the past 12 years, I have always loved taking care of them. I have looked after all sorts of breeds, over the years, big and small, and love them all. I am Dog First Aid Trained and have looked after dogs from puppies to senior dogs. I am a full time dog walker and sitter and have availability for new dogs. All sitting is currently done within the owners own home. I like to keep dogs in their normal routine, as much as possible. With it being good to mix up their walks in different places, I will always stick to owners recommendations and discuss and changes in advance.
“Angie recently looked after our two cats for the first time and she was great. The cats were well looked after and we're clearly happy and relaxed around her. She took the time to play with them each visit, and she left everything spotlessly clean and tidy. She sent us regular updates, including photos and videos. We would highly recommend her!”
About: I’m Reese, 19 and absolutely adore animals, cats in particular! I own 3 cats ages 3-12 and I have had cats my whole life! I currently work in education so am looking for a small job doing something I love on the side! I have a full DBS check as I currently work in education. I can also drive and have a car so happy to travel wherever!
“Jess C. Was an excellent sitter for Clyde. A very nice and pleasant young lady. She sent us regular reports and photographs. She left the house and a very clean and tidy state. I would not hesitate to book Jess C. In the future. And I can highly recommend her to any one else who wants a pet sitter in the future. Thank you Jess C. ?”
“First time we have used the Rover app for looking after our two cats and couldn’t recommend Oscar enough. Loved getting photos while we were away. I think Theo was gutted when we got home!”
About: Even though my expertise are in dogs, I have had experience in caring for a couple cats during my 4 years of dog care. I realise each cat is different so am happy to learn about your animals needs and give them all the attention or space that they need. I have in the past house sat and cat sat for families for weeks at a time with no problems! I am currently studying a degree in bioveterinary sciences so my true passion is to make sure your animal is always safe and cared for.
About: Having had family pets my entire life, I understand just how much our furry friends become our best friends. I grew up with a very excitable dog (her name was Georgi) and a grumpy cat (her name was trainers), and I’ve been in love with anything with 4 legs ever since. I’ve dog sat, walked, fed, bathed, cleaned litter trays, scooped poop, you name it - and I’ve loved every second of it. I promise to smother your best friend in all the love they need while you’re away. I work from home with a fairly flexible schedule, so I can be on hand whenever needed. All I need is my laptop, which means I can also work from someone else’s home! I live in a house with a private garden so your dog has outside space to enjoy whenever they need it, as well as access to large parks nearby for longer walks.
About: I am currently looking after a dog for a friend on a weekly basis, often going to the park, looking after him overnight, and sometimes day trips. I have raised my family dog since he was a puppy, so am fully aware of what that entails. When I go back home, I walk and take care of him. I live with my boyfriend who has had cats in the past, so I am used to having them in the house and how to take care of them. With this, I have lots of experience of walking, feeding, bathing, and keeping pets happy! I'm currently working from home full-time, so can look after pets at any time! My hours are also very flexible so I'm able to go for walks during my working day. I live in a flat, with a secure back garden that is fenced in. The front door to the flat block is always kept locked. I am happy to do whatever is needed to keep your pet safe and happy!
“Irina was very helpful and cooperative and took good care of our furry boys while we were away. She was responsive to messages and easy to communicate with, and everything was handled as arranged. We appreciate her support and thank her for looking after them.”

“Evie was a huge help in providing fairly last minute daycare for our puppy and were really understanding when we ran late for pick ups. I always worry about leaving our puppy with anyone as they can be hard work to look after, but Evie and her partner were great with him and we received regular updates on how he was getting on. He was happy every time he came home and we would not hesitate to contact Evie again whenever we are in need of puppy care!”
About: I have over 8 years of experience caring for dogs and cats, including working in a home boarding environment. I now offer drop-in visits and dog walking, providing reliable, calm and attentive care for pets in their own home or on their regular walks. I have experience with rescue dogs, young puppies, and more nervous or reactive animals, and I always adapt my approach to suit each pet’s needs. I’m trusted by friends, family, and clients to feed, walk, check in, and spend quality time with their pets, making sure they feel safe, settled, and well cared for while their owners are away. I understand how important consistency is for both cats and dogs, so I aim to keep timings regular to help them feel settled and comfortable while you’re away.

About: Having grown up surrounded by dogs, cats and horses, I understand that they’re more than just pets; they’re cherished members of the family and bring so much joy and happiness. I understand the importance of quality care, compassion and providing a home-from-home experience for your dog. From Dalmatians to dachshunds, every dog is treated with love, kindness and care. I currently have a gorgeous red fox Labrador X vizsla called ‘Hera’, she’s incredibly friendly and loves nothing more than having a playmate for all of our adventures! I’m active and love nothing more than being outside exploring, and I’m fortunate enough to work from home, with a very flexible schedule (allowing for lots of walks and ‘garden zoomies!’ Your dogs comfort, routine and happiness is my top priority and I’m dedicated to accommodating their every requirement. I can’t wait to meet your lovely dogs x I’m fortunate enough to work remotely, from home and with a very flexible schedule, allowing for lots of adventures and garden zoomies! My dog, Hera, typically has 3 walks per day come rain or shine! I have a large, secure garden and live in a rural setting, with immediate access to countryside walks. If I’m walking a dog from your home, I’ll always research the local area to find the best walks and love nothing more than discovering new paths with a four-legged fur baby for company!
“Millie very kindly helped me out at short notice to have Tilly. The moment I arrived on the drive Tilly was so excited and happy to see Millie. Tilly clearly loves spending time with Millie which is reassuring for me. Thank you once again Millie 🙏x🐾x”

About: I’ve struggled myself to find the right home to look after my precious boys. I offer a home from home setting where your dog(s) will receive lots of cuddles and lots of playtime. We have two male cockapoos, one of which is of senior age. We have previously had Great Danes (gorgeous breed) and have grown up round a variety of breeds. We have two children age 10 and 13 who have grown up around animals and absolutely love dogs and if your dog wants to run around with smaller humans they’re all for it. I work from home part time so I’m available for cuddles on the sofa and they can play freely with open access to the enclosed garden. We will accommodate so that everything is familiar to what they are used to for example sleeping in the kitchen, sleeping in a bedroom, being on furniture and so forth. We have a Vets locally who our dogs are registered with and plenty of green areas for dogs to have good walks. Any questions please feel free to ask. I know they are your babies and we will take great care of them. I work from home part time and I’m kept company by my two cockerpoos; one who is old and quite happily chills and the other who is seven and can always be encouraged to play. We have a secure enclosed garden where they will have access to play freely. We have lots of walks and greenery close by so they don’t have to do the same route all the time and can adapt the walks we take to your dogs needs.
“Thank you so much for taking such good care of Poppy. The updates with the lovely pictures was amazing and I completely felt she was having a lovely time with you and your family - would 110% book with you again and would highly recommend you. Thank you again xx”
“I had a great experience with Carla and Jim! I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and caring pet care. From the start, they were incredibly friendly and approachable, which immediately put me at ease. They arranged a meet and greet beforehand, which was a really thoughtful touch and helped both me and my dog feel comfortable before the stay as it was my first time using Rover. During the time they were looking after my dog, they provided regular updates and photos, which was so reassuring and showed how well my dog was being cared for. It was clear that my dog was happy, relaxed, and getting plenty of attention. I really appreciated the level of care and communication throughout. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Carla and Jim again and would definitely recommend them to other dog owners looking for someone trustworthy and kind to look after their pet! Thank you!”
“Penelope had a fantastic stay at Lynn’s after I had to drop into London for work. The house and garden were fantastic spaces with plenty of room for play and quiet time. Lynn was great at communicating and it was evident how she absolutely loves animals from how comfortable Penelope made herself!”

“Honestly, I couldn't be happier with the service Scott and Frasier provided. The videos of Penelope throughout the day showed the biggest smile on her face as she played in a safe and controlled environment. Scott was so good at communicating and knew all about different breeds behaviors and needs. Would happily recommend!”
“Took my very excitable Lab to Eszter for day care and she was absolutely brilliant! I felt confident that my dog would be cared for and have a great time. Eszter sent pictures and updates throughout both days my dog was with her which I loved. Eszter and her dog Ivy are lovely and my dog had the best time with them! I highly recommend!”
“Exceptional. Samba is a rescue and has a few little quirks. Charlotte was very understanding and happily went at Samba’s pace. Spent their time together cuddling which is Samba’s favourite thing to do. I would happily use Charlotte again and recommend her care. Thank you again.”
About: Myself and my husband are experienced dog owners, and have been around dogs our whole lives. We are happy to consider any dog breed and can handle large or small dogs. We had an Alaskan Malamute weighing 48kgs in her prime, sadly we lost her in August at 14 years old, so no trouble handling big and stubborn breeds! We do have a 14 year old cockerpoo called Alfie who is very tolerant and misses his companion - therefore dogs coming to us must be okay with other dogs. He is neutered. We have a loving family home with husband and wife team and grown up children who are always happy to play with dogs walk, entertain, exercise etc (children are 16, 19, 22 and are dog lovers like us!) We have a large enclosed garden for dogs to roam around in and are a cat free home. Boarding and doggy day care welcome, we often go to the seaside too, so if you pooch likes the beach they'd be welcome to come with us if they can travel in the car okay. Happy to answer any questions, or set up a meet and greet with your furbaby. I work part time 3 days a week and my husband works from home full time, so there is always someone around to keep you dog company and give them the love and care they need. Evenings and weekends we have 3 grown up children that are dog lovers like us, and are more than happy to help keep your dog entertained (children are 22, 19, 16 so not little kids). We have a large secure fenced garden for dogs to roam around in as they please. There is always someone at home. We have a 14 year old cockerpoo who misses his companion who we lost this year. He is a gentlemen. Happy to crate if needed, though we do not have a crate at the moment so this will need to be provided.

About: Hi, I’m Harriet, thanks for visiting my profile! Little or small, I’m here for all! My darling 15 year old rescue Jack Russell passed away last year and I’m missing the company and love of walking with furry friends! Being a genuine lover of animals and always having pets, I trained in the animal sector and academically achieved my HNC qualification in Animal Management. I have 9 years experience working in a rescue kennels and cattery, a working farm and a pet shop; so I have a lot of experience with different temperaments of animals and their needs. I am a patient, enthusiastic, confident and knowledgeable. Pets are my passion and I would love to meet yours! Please note, I do work a shift pattern but I know my shifts in advance so I will be as flexible as possible. I work shifts but I know my schedule far in advance so it is best for me to plan walks with your companion. Looking forward to meeting you and your pet! I am well experienced in medications, specialised diets, elderly dogs, and varied temperaments. My home is pet safe as I had my dog for 10 years. I do have a cat.

“Angie is EXCELLENT! From initial contact communication was great, we needed someone to walk our dog for initially 4 days then extended it 8 which she accommodated for us. The initial meet & greet went brilliant, our dog Iggi can be reticent with people she doesn’t know but immediately warmed to Angie. She excitedly greeted her when going on a walk and Angie always sent a little report with each walk and a couple of photos. Iggi came back from each walk sated and happy. We cannot praise Angie highly enough and will use her in future when we are in the area visiting family & friends”
About: I have studied animal management and have been working with animals since the age of 14. I am now 27 and have been working in the animal rescue sector for 8 years which provides me with a high level of care, efficiency and great customer service. My background means I have a strong passion for both pets and their people. I will be working part-time and at uni so this will be during days off and breaks in study, along with most evenings which are free for me. Secure household and garden with a very friendly little staffy who was a rescue from my previous work. With a strong focus on enrichment and positive-based training, your pet will be in safe hands.
About: I’ve cared for dogs most of my life having grew up around multiple dog breeds both male and female! My partner and I are the biggest dog lovers, with our own little girl and committed to providing the best care possible. I currently work from home 1-2 days a week and am available weekends and evenings to care for your pups! Work from home days are flexible depending on your needs I have a large fenced garden for roaming and fun and 1 super friendly golden girl (see profile pic) who wants to make friends with all. Given this we are fully equipped to care for ur dogs in our home or I have a licence and can travel as needed.
About: With a lifetime of experience caring for all manner of animals, I provide home-from-home care tailored to each pet's unique needs. I’m skilled in administering medication and always treat any pets in my care as if they were my own. I will always follow your pets’ routines in your absence, in order help them feel safe and secure. I’m accustomed to caring for animals of all ages; from the very young to the more senior, I love them all and their gorgeous unique personalities. I thoroughly enjoy making connections with my furry friends and their owners alike. I have many returning clients and go above and beyond to ensure both your pets and you are completely satisfied with all the services I provide. I have received many five star wonderful reviews from pet owners over the years. One of my greatest pleasures is walking in nature with the dogs in my care; whether it’s a woodland adventure or a splash by the water, I offer diverse walks for your fur babies to enjoy, that include opportunities for socialisation with other dogs and humans. I am home full time as I have an online tutoring business working with students around the world. This enables me to be very focused on the animals in my care throughout the day as my lessons are spread out across the working week. My home is ideally set up to care for your fur babies. I have a large enclosed garden perfect for your fur babies to run around in; they have full access to the garden as they desire as my back door is rarely closed. I have crates, should your pet need crating or you may of course provide your own. I adhere strictly to any special requirements you have regarding the care of your pet. I also have my own private walking field where all dogs are safe to run freely.
“Today Oscar visited us again, my dogs recognised him immediately and were very happy of seeing him again. This time after walking my 2 boxers together he also helped me to teach them how to use a special stair for the car boot which I have recently purchased. I can tell that the whole experience was very positive. I learn a lot from Oscar every time on how to interact with my dogs, how to create an easy going environment for the future. Visibly he has a wealth of knowledge on training dogs and control them with kindness, calmness and good energy.”
About: I have always had a strong love for animals, especially dogs, as I grew up surrounded by lots of different pets. Being around animals from a young age has helped me develop a natural understanding of how to care for them, be patient with them, and make sure they feel safe, happy and comfortable. My experience as a dog sitter is something I really enjoy because I love spending time with dogs and getting to know their individual personalities and needs. I understand the importance of giving them plenty of attention, exercise, fresh air and companionship while their owners are away. One of my favourite parts of dog sitting is taking dogs out for walks. I enjoy giving them the opportunity to explore, exercise and have fun, while also benefiting from being outdoors myself. Going for regular walks with a dog helps me stay active and supports my own health and wellbeing, making it something that I find both enjoyable and rewarding. Overall, looking after dogs is something I am passionate about. Growing up with pets, combined with my experience caring for animals, has taught me to be responsible, caring and attentive. I would always treat someone else's dog with the same care and respect that I would give to my own pets. Working from home allows me to provide dogs with the attention, care and companionship they need throughout the day. Because I work remotely, I have the flexibility to take regular breaks to feed them, let them outside, give them attention and take them out for walks. Being at home also means dogs are not left alone for long periods of time, which can help them feel more comfortable and settled. I can easily fit walks and playtime around my working schedule while still making sure my work commitments are met. I really enjoy being around dogs while I work, and I believe my home-based routine is ideal for dog sitting. It allows me to give each dog plenty of care and attention while providing a safe, calm and loving environment for them. Although my garden is on the smaller side, it is fully fenced and provides a safe and secure space for dogs to have regular toilet breaks and get some fresh air throughout the day. I understand that the garden is not intended to replace proper walks and exercise, but it is a convenient and secure space for quick toilet breaks whenever needed. I also live next to a beautiful bank and walking area, which is perfect for giving dogs plenty of exercise and outdoor stimulation. I regularly take my family’s dog there for walks and really enjoy spending time outdoors with him. The area provides a lovely environment for dogs to explore, get some exercise and enjoy their surroundings. Having both a secure garden and such a beautiful walking area nearby means I can provide dogs with regular toilet breaks, exercise and plenty of opportunities to enjoy the outdoors.
About: I’ve had a lifelong love for dogs and several years of hands-on experience caring for them in a variety of settings. I’ve looked after puppies, senior dogs, and everything in between, including high-energy breeds that need plenty of exercise and older dogs who require a gentler approach. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to provide daily walks, feeding, grooming, basic training reinforcement, and lots of affection. I’m comfortable following specific routines and handling multiple dogs at once while making sure each one gets individual attention. My priority is always creating a safe, calm, and happy environment where dogs feel loved and secure while their owners are away. I’m free 24/7 at the moment i only have college which means im available for your pet whenever needed and super flexible so you can message me last minute for me to look after your pet I have a huge garden where your pet can run around and have lots of freedom, and in your home i can ensure all of my attention is focused onto your pet to ensure it has the best time and is treated with care
About: I’ve had pets ever since I was little and loved looking after them. I absolutely love nature and all animals (I don’t eat meat and my dream is to save the environment). My dogs, Sky and Lolly, and my cat, Ivy, are my whole world so I know how scary it is to leave your fur-baby with someone new. I am absolutely dedicated to making sure that all animals in (and out of) my care are well looked after and feel safe and loved! I’ve got a big heart and can’t resist looking after any animal I come across. I’m currently working part time so I can be available for walks and boarding most evenings/ Thursdays and Fridays during the day. Availability: Monday: evenings Tuesday: N/A Wednesday: evenings Thursday: daytime/evenings Friday: daytime/evenings Saturday: *daytime/evenings (usually depends on the week)* Sunday: evenings I have an enclosed garden which is a decent size. I also have a very friendly pug/shih tzu cross who would be more than happy to keep your fur-baby company. (I also have a cat who is friendly but pretty much keeps herself to herself). Pets are allowed on the furniture. I’m very vigilant about pet safety.
About: From a young age I have been asked to care for animals in families I’ve known, in the past couple of years I have developed that into housesitting, looking after animals from horses to dogs and I am happy to adapt to any task at hand. I recently looked after a puppy which obviously requires a heavy routine so any special attention that your animal needs, I am happy to deliver! I am currently studying a degree in bioveterinary sciences so my true passion is to make sure your animal is always safe and cared for. A university student so am home for the summer meaning I have plenty of time to look after your animal with great attention to detail and care to my best ability Able to ensure any safety measures you have applied in your home to be continued whilst you are away. Any tips from yourself would also be helpful!
About: I grew up with lots of animals like a tiny farm and since going to university, I have missed it :( I always go to my family house where there is 5 cats, 2 goldens and 10 chickens and 1 rabbit. May sound like a lot but there is never a moment of boredom. I work in Boston, 8:30-17:00 Monday to Friday. Please take that into consideration when booking me as it doesn’t not let me edit my work schedule into the app. Anytime after 17:30, if you want your dog walking I would be happy too. I really enjoy going on walks with dogs. I have a fenced garden and love going on walks. Dogs and cats are allowed on furniture so they have many places to venture and relax :)

About: I'M BACK! After taking 6 months off to breed and train my next generation of Rhodesian Ridgebacks, I am happy to say that I am available again! I own two dogs, one cat and two horses, some of whom you can see on my profile! I would definitely say that I am an animal person haha! Over the years, I have learnt dog training skills such as how to remedy a dog who pulls on the lead or jumps up. I am experienced in administering medication for both dogs and cats and can even bathe them for you if needed! I am more than happy to do drop-ins for cats to feed and top up their water when needed if you don’t need me to stay over night! If you have any other small pets, I'm more than happy and experienced in looking after them for you whilst you're away (I grew up with mice, rabbits and Giant African Snails)! If you have horses, there is no need to put them into livery either, as I can look after them too when you go away! A bit about myself: I work from home which fits in great with dog sitting, as all I have to do is remember to bring my laptop with me! Don't worry, your pets will get plenty of exercise, socialisation and of course lots of love and care with me! Working from home means I am able to be around your pets all day, as long as I remember to bring my laptop with me! Our home has a fully secure terraced garden with 6ft+ old stone walls, so there is no escaping! We have many wonderful walks on our doorstep and our house location is quiet and safe. We take the dogs on secure, off-road country walks, and especially enjoy going for walks in the woods!
About: I’ve had dogs since I was in primary school and currently own 1 gorgeous border collies after 2 sadly passed away. I’ve had two of my dogs from pups, with Ted now being 9. Bear sadly passed away last year at the age of 15. We also had a Dale, a rescue border collie who came to me badly neglected and abused. I nursed him back to health and gave him a little over a year of knowing a loving home until he sadly passed away after suffering a bleed on the brain. I regularly pup sit for friends and families dogs. I currently work from home and can be available during the day or evening for walkies, drop in visits and stays. Always happy to take doggy’s on adventures with us on weekends. I have a secure garden and 1 friendly border collie, aged 9 (nearly 10) to keep your furbaby company if you wish. The house is very much the dogs home as well as my own. I am responsible and happy to pop into your own home to look after your pup if that’s what you require and obviously walks galore are available!

“Shaun and his family looked after my dog so well - he had a wonderful time. They are very caring and they were very happy to walk and play with my dog. I am very grateful and I will certainly be calling on them again. Thank you!”

We’re comfortable with dogs of different personalities and energy levels and can provide regular walks, playtime, feeding and companionship.

“Many thanks for the great experience! Ayse is fantastic; Polly was very happy with the care and attention she received. Very friendly sitter and great communication, would highly recommend!”
“Mandy was amazing and I would have no hesitation in recommending. The only challenge was the dogs didn’t appear to be as excited as they normally are when I return which speaks volumes! I also really appreciated the regular updates, photos and videos.”
“Jo and Ian were the perfect sitters for our Millie. They keep us updated throughout her stay re how she was getting on and sent photos so we could see how relaxed and happy she was, as well as being perfectly spoilt throughout her stay. We would definitely use them again.”
About: I am happiest when with dogs, they really are man’s best friend. I am always pottering in the garden when it’s nice, or reading by the fire when it’s not! We also have lovely woods to walk in nearby. I have had dogs for as long as I can remember, but no longer have my own. I am retired and love spending time with dogs. We live in the beautiful Burghley estate so are truly spoilt for walking spots. I am up early to feed the chickens and more often than not, tending to my garden. Would be happy to have some canine company. I have a fully dog proofed garden with large lawn and plenty of space to explore. We have a long driveway, and gate, not that many cars come this way! We walk a minute to beautiful wooded areas
“Leia always has a wonderful time in the care of Eszter and loves playing with Ivy and her other new doggy friends. Eszter sends lots of updates either photos and totally feel at ease she is looked after and happy”
“This was the first time for Bess to stay away from home after being with us as a rescue throughout Lockdown and we were worried as to how she would be but we needn’t have worried. Linda is a very experienced greyhound owner and gave her lots of love and attention . Although it was only for 2 nights it was great to get photos and a message from Linda too. I am sure that next time Bess will be happy to stay with Linda again! It is so nice to have peace of mind when your “fur baby” is left in such capable hands!”
“We felt very comfortable with Helen for taking care of our dog Ruby. Ruby felt quite at home. We enjoyed getting updates of their walks. Will definately use Helen again.”
“Irina was brilliant with our pup axel. He is a Rhodesian ridgeback and so even though he’s less than a year old, he’s still big and strong willed, it also turned out to be a heatwave for the duration so that added to the complexity. Irina was able to look after him so well. He was happy and safe and the whole time with regular games and walks etc. Irina sent us regular photos and updates. And communication was great. We would definitely work with Irina again if we go away.”
“A lovely young couple who came to our rescue after we were let down by family at the last minute. We contacted them that morning, and they welcomed Evie into their home just a few hours later. They gave us frequent updates and photos, took our very energetic Australian Shepherd on lots of long walks, and stuck closely to her routine. When we collected her, they gave us a detailed rundown of her stay and even gave us some candles to thank us for choosing them! They seemed genuinely delighted to have Evie and made her feel like part of their family, rather than simply treating dog sitting as a business. We’d happily book with them again!”
“Absolutely perfect, from the meet and greet to the professional yet warm nature of the communications. Derek has had THE Best time with Carmen and Luna, we’re already looking to book his next holiday! Thank you so so much for taking great care of our Boy.”
“Our little Lola dog had a fantastic few days with Bradley and his sausage dog, Lincoln. She went on many great walks and was even taken to the seaside for a gentle stroll. The environment is perfect for dogs and we will be using Bradley again. Thank you.”
“Sandra went above and beyond when our train was delayed meaning we would struggle to pick up the dogs on time and she drove the 30 mins each way to drop them off at my daughter’s house. Both dogs seemed to have enjoyed their time with Sandra. Such a shame she is over an hour away from my home.”
