About: Hi, I'm Oli! While I am just starting out with professional pet sitting, I have loved, owned, and cared for animals my entire life. For me, pets aren't just a hobby - they are family, and I know exactly how tough it can be to leave your four legged best friend behind. I am always looking after my friends' dogs when they go away, and I’ve proudly become their reliable friend who they know they can always count on. I also have my own 7 years old Beagle named Barney, so your pup will have a very friendly, experienced companion to hang out with. Whether your pup is a high energy explorer who thrives on long, active walks or prefers belly rubs and lounging around, I adapt completely to their personality and your specific routine. Since I work from home, I am around throughout the day to provide constant company, regular potty breaks, and plenty of attention while I work. You can have total peace of mind knowing they are in a great environment, as I have a spacious house with plenty of room for dogs to relax and stretch their legs, alongside a big, fully secure garden that is absolutely perfect for zoomies and playing fetch. Your pup will never be short on attention, affection, or companionship. I’m reliable, attentive, and fully committed to keeping you updated with plenty of photos and messages throughout their stay so you always know how they are doing. I can't wait to meet your dog and give them the best day ever! My daily and weekly routine is built around an active lifestyle and plenty of pet companionship. I am a first line technical support specialist, and because I work from home, I am around throughout the day to provide constant company and regular potty breaks between my incoming calls. My days start and end with movement. I am very active and I love walking, which means your pup will join me for dedicated, refreshing walks right before I log on for work and immediately after I finish my shift. During the workday, guest dogs hang out with me and my friendly 7 years old Beagle, Barney. They have total peace of mind in a spacious four bedroom house with plenty of room to stretch their legs, alongside a big, fully secure garden that is absolutely perfect for play time. Because I treat guest dogs exactly like family, your pup will enjoy a balance of active outdoor time,and endless daytime companionship. When pets stay in my home, they are fully integrated into a stable, welcoming family environment. Because I work remotely, my setup allows me to provide consistent, background companionship throughout the day while managing my tasks. When I care for pets in the owner's home, my approach is all about minimising their stress by keeping them in familiar surroundings. For drop-in visits, I use my midday break or after work hours to pop in, refresh food and water, clean litter trays, and offer one-on-one attention. If an owner requires overnight house sitting, I stay at their property to provide security and comfort through the night, and I can easily bring my laptop to work right from their space during the day to keep their pet company if required. No matter the setting, I keep owners completely connected to their pets by sending regular, detailed updates alongside plenty of photos and messages.
“Andy looked after our dog Lottie overnight and we honestly couldn’t have asked for better care. From the moment we met him, it was clear how kind, trustworthy and genuinely caring he is with animals. Lottie settled immediately and was so happy and relaxed when we collected her. Andy kept us updated, treated her like one of his own, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It’s obvious he truly loves dogs and takes great pride in what he does. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him and will absolutely be using him again in the future. First class in every way!”
“Richard and Elaine came to the rescue when another sitter had to cancel two weeks before my trip. I'm so pleased I found them as they looked after Bella really well and made her feel immediately at home and are lovely people. They will definitely be top of my list when I'm next looking for boarding for Bella.”
“We cannot thank Vitor enough for the incredible care he gave to Pepper and Ivy during our four days away. From the moment we entrusted our two sausage dogs to him, it was clear that they were in capable, loving, and attentive hands. Vitor made sure to keep us updated throughout the trip with a constant stream of photos and videos. These updates were such a source of comfort and joy, as it was clear the girls were having a wonderful time. Whether it was Pepper being her usual cheeky self or Ivy enjoying her sweet, calm moments, we loved seeing them happy and relaxed while we were away. Vitor truly understands dogs and their individual personalities. He took the time to ensure that both Pepper, our curious and energetic puppy, and Ivy, our gentle, independent older girl, were cared for in a way that suited them perfectly. He managed Pepper’s boundless energy with patience and playfulness, and he gave Ivy the space and affection she needed. We even noticed how much Pepper’s confidence grew during her time with him—something that really warmed our hearts. We were especially impressed with Vitor’s attention to detail and his commitment to maintaining their routines. From feeding schedules to their daily walks and playtime, everything was followed to perfection. He even went the extra mile to keep them entertained and comfortable, ensuring they felt at home. It’s clear that Vitor doesn’t just take care of dogs—he genuinely cares about them. When we returned, both Pepper and Ivy were happy, relaxed, and full of energy, which speaks volumes about the level of care they received. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pets like family, Vitor is absolutely the person you need. We feel so fortunate to have found him and will definitely be booking him again in the future. Thank you, Vitor, for taking such amazing care of our girls and giving us peace of mind while we were away!”
“Our dog Jasper had the best time ever staying with Aaron. Throughout our time away, Aaron sent us lots of photos and updates, which gave us complete peace of mind knowing that Jasper was being so well cared for. I would highly recommend Aaron to anyone looking for a true home-from-home experience for their dog. There is plenty of secure open space for the dogs to run and play freely, and it is clear that Aaron genuinely cares about the animals in his care. Jasper loved his stay so much that he hardly wanted to leave! We will definitely be using Aaron again in the future.😊”

“Had a good first meeting with Robert and Dawn to introduce Oscar. Hand over on first day was great and they fitted in with my working day and drop off time changes. Oscar had a wonderful time, loved every moment and really enjoyed playing with the other dogs. They also helped his food transition to new food. I know Oscar is looking forward to his next visit.”
“Amazing! What a fantastic mini-break for my little pup - she got on so well with Stephanie's own dog - she is missing her, in fact(!) Genuinely made her feel welcome and did loads with her.”
About: I am a compassionate, reliable, and experienced animal care professional with over 8 years of experience working as a Veterinary Nurse, alongside my current role as an Ambulance Clinician. Caring for others has always been at the heart of what I do, and animals have been a lifelong passion of mine. My veterinary background has given me extensive experience caring for animals of all breeds, ages, and temperaments, including those with medical needs, anxiety, or additional care requirements. I am confident administering medication, recognising signs of illness, and ensuring pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Working as an Ambulance Clinician has strengthened my calm, responsible, and trustworthy nature, especially in high-pressure situations. I understand how important it is for owners to know their pets are in safe hands, and I treat every animal with the same care and affection I would give my own. Whether it’s walks, feeding, overnight stays, playtime, or companionship, I provide attentive, personalised care and genuinely love building bonds with animals I currently work shifts as an ambulance clinician, when I schedule pet care it will not be during my working days. My days when I am providing pet care will revolve around the animals normal routine or as close as I can. I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment for every pet in my care. I follow each pet's normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise, medication (if required), and any special care instructions. I make sure pets always have access to fresh water, a secure space to rest, and plenty of attention, enrichment, and supervision. I have a fenced garden and have access to open fields with wooden fencing. When caring for pets in an owner's home, I respect the home and maintain the pet's usual routine to help them feel comfortable and reduce stress. I keep owners updated with regular messages, photos, and reports. Safety is my priority, so I monitor pets closely during walks, playtime, and interactions with other animals, and I follow all instructions regarding health, behavior, and emergency contacts
About: I’ve taken care of my rescue dog for 4 years now. He completely transformed from being scared and unsure to confident, friendly and playful doggie. He loves company so I’ve decided to start boarding and daycare services. I live in a house with a fenced garden and will welcome any type of dog: all sizes and age :) I’m currently working full time from home, Monday to Friday, with a long lunch break to walk the dogs. I spend a lot of time on walks and games with my doggie during the weekend. I have a fenced garden and one friendly, medium size dog to keep your fur baby company. The house is spacious and safe with outside cameras.
“As a loving owner of my 15-year-old Shih-poo named Miles, I was concerned with leaving him with someone new. From our first contact, Lailaine was incredibly professional and understanding. We did a meet and greet at her home to see how my dog would interact with her Zoe and it was wonderful to see how similar in personalities they were. This initial meeting truly made me feel comfortable and confident that Miles would be well taken care of. During his stay, Lailaine would sent me pictures and videos of Miles enjoying his time on their walks and regularly kept in communication about how he was settling in, which was amazing! I would wholeheartedly recommend Lailaine to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy dog sitter, She's simply the best!”

“Nickala is very friendly and reliable, kept me well informed every day. She's very good with animals, my Loki took to her straight away, a nice surprise as he's very timid around visitors! Will definitely look to book her again for any future holidays!”
About: I’ve had cats since I was around 12, so I’m very familiar with their behaviors and needs. I’m skilled at administering medications, whether oral or topical, and I always ensure the process is calm and stress-free for the cat. I also have a passion for keeping litter boxes spotless, often deep-cleaning them to ensure they stay fresh and odor-free. I know that each cat has its own personality and preferences, so I take the time to learn their routine and make them feel comfortable and secure. Whether it's playtime, brushing, or simply providing quiet companionship, I’m dedicated to keeping your cat happy and content.
“Lucie was most reliable and caring when she looked after our cat Candy. So far, we have hired her services twice to look after our beloved cat and in both instances she gave the task her full effort and took the burden off our shoulder whilst we were away.”
About: I'm Chi and I'm a cat-lover. I have done a lot of volunteering in cat shelters around the world (Thailand, Vietnam and Malaysia). It's my joy to take care of cats and help them to get better. Therefore, I'm very happy to be your catsitter and take care of your babies and make sure that they can get the best care they deserve.
“I have to say - the best sitter in town (in all of UK). I was so happy to have found her and although I don’t live in Luton I would totally drop off my cat to Stephanie when travelling for long periods (despite the distance for me). She is so hands on and always sharing updates (without asking) - really had me feeling at ease for the whole time that I was away. Polo came back really happy and for the first time wasn’t pissed at me for leaving her. I recommend Stephanie 100%. She’s warm, she’s kind and absolutely reliable.”
“Donna was amazing. Excellent communication and rapid response to messages. She is friendly, kind and very good with animals. I can tell that my cat was relaxed and comfortable in her presence, this is something rare, as she is a very anxious cat. I will definitely book Donna again.”
About: I had 2 gorgeous boy cats growing up, currently owner of a beagle. Always been a keen cat lady and looking to help out - will happily house sit or happy to take in cats that are ok hanging out with an elderly dog
“Brilliant! Thank you so much for looking after my boys, thank you for the pictures and the updates, they are in good spirits when I got home, very happy and no stress. I highly recommend Stephanie and will definitely use again, she’s friendly and professional and exactly who you want looking after your pets!”
“Kelly did a great job looking after Oreo, kept me informed at each visit which gave me peace of mind. I would not hesitate recommending her. Oreo was able to stay at home while I was away, comfortable and secure in his own surroundings. Far better than putting him in a Boarding Cattery. I’m very happy with Kelly’s help 😎👍🏻”
“Jen was brilliant with our kitten while we were away on holiday, she made sure we were kept up to date with how she was doing and sent videos and pics. Flawless service and will 100% use again and would highly recommend!”

About: I’m a confident, reliable dog sitter with real hands-on experience caring for large and strong breeds. I’ve owned a rescue Doberman and a giant Great Dane, so I’m very comfortable with dogs that need structure, consistency, and a calm, capable handler. I’m trained in canine first aid and behaviour, so I know how to spot early signs of stress, illness, or injury and respond quickly and appropriately. This means your dog is not only well cared for, but in safe, knowledgeable hands at all times. I’ve also looked after plenty of dogs for friends and family, so I’m used to different personalities and routines. Whether your dog is energetic, strong-willed, or needs a bit of extra reassurance, they’ll be well looked after and happy with me. I work from home full time and am available at weekends, during lunch times and in the evenings. My work is fairly flexible so I will accommodate to your needs if possible. I will make sure that dogs are respected always and walks / visits will be accommodated towards your dogs needs to make sure they are as comfortable as possible.

About: Hi, I’m Maria. My husband and I live in Hanwood Park, and together we offer a calm, loving, home-from-home environment where dogs and cats are truly treated as part of the family. I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs of many breeds and personalities — Schnauzers, Cocker Spaniels, Shih Tzus, Boxers, Lhasa Apsos, Weimaraners, and more — as well as cats. Over the years, friends and families have trusted me with their pets again and again, knowing they’ll be loved, understood, and cared for with patience and attention. What matters most to me is that every dog feels safe, relaxed, and emotionally settled while they’re with us. A Home Built on Trust, Not Just Care I know how hard it can be to leave your dog with someone else — they’re family, not “just a pet.” That’s why I’ve always focused on building long-term trust and familiarity with the dogs I care for, rather than quick, one-off stays. Because my husband and I work as a team of two, your dog benefits from: 🐾Constant human presence 🐾Consistent routines 🐾A calm, stable home environment 🐾Never left alone for long periods 🐾Plenty of affection, cuddles, and gentle play 🐾Walks tailored to your dog’s routine and energy level 🐾Access to a garden for fresh air and relaxed time outdoors 🐾Care adapted to your dog’s personality — playful or quiet, young or senior 🐾Regular updates, photos, or videos if you’d like We especially love caring for dogs whose owners are looking for consistency and continuity — a familiar home they can return to whenever you travel, work, or need support. When a dog stays with us, they’re not just being looked after — they’re welcomed into our home and cared for with patience, kindness, and respect. If you’d like to arrange a meet & greet or ask any questions, I’d be very happy to hear from you. We look forward to welcoming your dog My husband and I both work from home, which means your pet will have plenty of company, attention, and supervision throughout the day. We naturally build pet care into our daily routine, including walks, playtime, cuddles, feeding schedules, and quiet rest time. We’re available for boarding during weekdays, weekends, and longer stays, and we always aim to create a calm, loving environment where pets feel safe, relaxed, and part of the family. We provide a calm home environment with a secure garden, consistent routines, and lots of gentle attention and affection. Because there are two of us, pets are never left alone for long periods and always have someone nearby for reassurance and care. We take time to understand each pet’s personality, habits, and needs so they can feel settled, comfortable, and truly at home with us.

“I can’t even express how grateful I am that I found Joshua on this app! Extremely helpful and understanding for our dog’s needs with absolutely no judgments and positive attitude. I was always so sceptical about trusting someone with my furry baby but I no longer have to worry about that. Thank you Joshua!”
“I can't recommend Shelly enough, it was my first time leaving my rescue daxi Ellie and going on holiday so I was no nervous for me and Ellie but Shelly was great with Ellie and me and I managed to enjoy my holiday without worrying.Shelly provided details of the walk with photos each day. Ellie loved Shelly and I will definitely be using Shelly in future x”
About: I’ve had dogs since I was 2 years old. I had a German Shepard and a golden retriever. I now have my own cocker spaniel. I absolutely adore animals especially dogs. I had my cocker spaniel trained by 12 weeks old. I’m patient and love getting out with them. I’m sympathetic and care a lot. My dog is my world so know your dogs would be loved and cared for just as much as mine is. Playing, walks or a cuddle they can have it all. I am currently in the middle of a career change so I will have plenty of time to play with your dogs, have cuddles or go for lovely walks! I have a fenced garden with locked gates. The doors are always locked for safety unless the dogs are in the garden where they will be monitored. I have one dog myself she is 3 years old and not spayed. Dogs are never left alone for longer than a hour if I have to pop to a shop and will be let out for the toilet every 2 hours unless needed earlier and will be taken for walks twice a day or three times a day. Dogs will be kept on a lead while on walks regardless of recall for their safety. If dogs are to go in a car to go to a country park for a walk with permission from owner, the dog will always have a dog seatbelt attached to a harness.
About: Based in Earls Barton, job hunting after 4 months solo travelling Asia (you could always find me hanging with the dogs and cats in the hostels and cafes!). With over a decade of pet sitting experience, I am able to provide consistent care with treats, training, games, exercise - I’ll adapt to the needs of your dog to ensure they have the best care! My days are 100% flexible so I can maintain any schedule your dog is used to. I have a senior Beagle at home, he is very relaxed and friendly with other dogs - for boarding and day care he will be great company but I am also able to keep pooches in separate rooms if needed. Also have an escape-proof garden for doggies to play / snooze as desired. I’ve cared for our 15 year old Beagle for 12 years, he’s a rescue and we’ve had him since he was 2. Early on he required a lot of attention, lots of training - like many rescues we weren’t sure exactly what to expect so it took lots of patience and treats! He’s now a slightly grumpy senior dog with limited mobility, and requires more physical assistance but less training and attention during the day (he’s probably asleep). I regularly pet sit friends dogs including Bonnie (super friendly 4 year old Chihuahua mix), Peggy (enthusiastic 6 year old Springer), and Misha (lively 4 year old Pomeranian). Misha is great with people but very anti social with other dogs. Through Rover I have experience caring for senior dogs and reactive / stubborn dogs - Safe to say I have looked after some great little pals with a range of needs. I’m currently living at home, job hunting for a full time position. I like to keep my weekends free but I am free all week to pet sit and house visit on short notice. I have a fenced garden and a very chilled out senior beagle for your pet to hang out with. I live next to a track leading down to a huge green open space next to the river great for long walks.
“Donna-Lee is very experienced with working with dogs and has an air of authority that definitely caught my husky Zelda's attention! Zelda is typically a laid back and happy girl but can pull when she's excited or fidget when waiting to cross the road. When Donna-Lee and I did our meet and greet I was given some complimentary pointers on how to better manage her as a new dog owner, which have definitely helped! I feel very comfortable leaving Zelda with her. ☺️”
About: Walks are tailored to each dog and for social dogs I form small groups of 3-4 that have a similar temperament. Some dogs love running around and chasing their friends, whilst others prefer a slow and sniffy walk - I can accommodate for all dogs needs. The dogs I walk become family to me and I treat them as if they are my own. I have a huge amount of love for dogs (and all animals) and believe this really shows in my work with them. My specialty is the working breeds and high energy dogs, such as retrievers and spaniels. I also provide a small pet service for when owners are away. I have experience in caring for cats, rabbits, Guinea pigs and hamsters; as well as animals such as tortoises, hedgehogs, snakes and bearded dragons! I work permanently as a dog walker. I am open Monday-Friday from 9am until 3pm. I am based in Stanton Cross on the Chesnut Vale development in Wellingborough. I will always adhere to instructions given and will follow your own routine to ensure continuity of care. My clients trust me with a key to their property and I take this responsibility seriously. All doors are double and triple-checked before leaving to make sure the home has been left secure for you and your pet.
“Stephanie's communication was excellent in arranging Ginny's walk - it was my first time using a dog walker through Rover, and she helped me feel at ease with what to expect. Ginny was a bit nervous, but Stephanie was very patient with her, and the photos showed how much she enjoyed her walk! We'd definitely book with Stephanie again.”
About: I had the pleasure of looking after my best friends dog for 6 months and really loved the companionship I had and he also really helped our whole household to get through the 2020's lockdown year. All my life, all animals have had a calming influence on me. I studied Animal Management and Welfare for 3 years. I have continued to dog walk and dog sit for friends and acquaintances from my teenage years. Looking after all animals, but dogs especially has always been a huge pleasure for me. I currently work full time but my job is very flexible and I can work my life around my job when and if I need to for anything I would prefer to look after pets at their owners houses. But if needed I have a 3 bedroom house with reasonable paved garden (no grass in garden) but have a currently young baby (2 ½ months old) in the house
About: Hello, my name is Luke. Thank you for your interest and wanting to find out more about me. Since I was a kid I've been brought up with pets and cared for them, e.g. ensured fresh food and water, walked them, kept their personal hygiene by brushing their hair and bathing ... - anything that the animals needs to be happy and well looked after. At the age of 16 I took my passion for animals further and started four years of animal management at College. I have gained more valuable experience with looking after all sort of animals, including dogs and making them feel comfortable around me. At the same time I started looking after my familys and friends dogs - just for a walk or for longer periods, for example holidays. Despite having my own daily schedule, the animal always gets 100% attention and all instructions by the owner are followed. I love all dog sizes and their different personalities ❤️ It is important to me to meet the dog and owner beforehand, take notes and provide regular updates. I am currently seeking a change of career into animal care and have a flexible working schedule to fit around any requirements. Pet care would also boost my fitness and mental well-being. I am sharing a two bed house with my partner. There is with a fenced garden at the rear, facing a big open field. There is plenty of space in the house for the dog to either socialise or have some quiet time.

“Fantastic Dog Walker – Highly Recommend! I couldn't be happier with the service provided by Kelly! She took such wonderful care of our dog, Frodo, treating him as if he were her own. I could tell my dog was in great hands. Communication was excellent—I received regular updates and even a few lovely photos, which really put my mind at ease. Frodo always came back happy and well-exercised. If you're looking for a reliable, friendly, and professional dog walker, I highly recommend Kelly. I’ll definitely be booking again!”

About: About Me 🐾 Hi, I’m Molly! I’ve had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember, and I’m lucky enough to still share my days with my own family dogs. Dogs have always been more than just pets to me, they’re companions, friends, and sometimes (let’s be honest!) even better company than humans 🤣. I absolutely love walking with dogs, whether it’s a gentle stroll or an energetic walkies! I also enjoy meeting new four-legged friends, getting to know their personalities, and giving them the attention they deserve when you can’t be there. With me, your dog will always be treated like part of the family. 🐶❤️ I am currently self employed, but have 2 days a week on a Wednesday & Thursday free, so what better way to spend my days than taking care of a dog! I’ve grown up with dogs all my life and understand how important they are to you and your family. I know leaving your pet with someone else can feel daunting, so I make it my mission to make sure you know your dog is left in safe and trustworthy hands.

About: Hi, I'm Oli! While I am just starting out with professional pet sitting, I have loved, owned, and cared for animals my entire life. For me, pets aren't just a hobby - they are family, and I know exactly how tough it can be to leave your four legged best friend behind. I am always looking after my friends' dogs when they go away, and I’ve proudly become their reliable friend who they know they can always count on. I also have my own 7 years old Beagle named Barney, so your pup will have a very friendly, experienced companion to hang out with. Whether your pup is a high energy explorer who thrives on long, active walks or prefers belly rubs and lounging around, I adapt completely to their personality and your specific routine. Since I work from home, I am around throughout the day to provide constant company, regular potty breaks, and plenty of attention while I work. You can have total peace of mind knowing they are in a great environment, as I have a spacious house with plenty of room for dogs to relax and stretch their legs, alongside a big, fully secure garden that is absolutely perfect for zoomies and playing fetch. Your pup will never be short on attention, affection, or companionship. I’m reliable, attentive, and fully committed to keeping you updated with plenty of photos and messages throughout their stay so you always know how they are doing. I can't wait to meet your dog and give them the best day ever! My daily and weekly routine is built around an active lifestyle and plenty of pet companionship. I am a first line technical support specialist, and because I work from home, I am around throughout the day to provide constant company and regular potty breaks between my incoming calls. My days start and end with movement. I am very active and I love walking, which means your pup will join me for dedicated, refreshing walks right before I log on for work and immediately after I finish my shift. During the workday, guest dogs hang out with me and my friendly 7 years old Beagle, Barney. They have total peace of mind in a spacious four bedroom house with plenty of room to stretch their legs, alongside a big, fully secure garden that is absolutely perfect for play time. Because I treat guest dogs exactly like family, your pup will enjoy a balance of active outdoor time,and endless daytime companionship. When pets stay in my home, they are fully integrated into a stable, welcoming family environment. Because I work remotely, my setup allows me to provide consistent, background companionship throughout the day while managing my tasks. When I care for pets in the owner's home, my approach is all about minimising their stress by keeping them in familiar surroundings. For drop-in visits, I use my midday break or after work hours to pop in, refresh food and water, clean litter trays, and offer one-on-one attention. If an owner requires overnight house sitting, I stay at their property to provide security and comfort through the night, and I can easily bring my laptop to work right from their space during the day to keep their pet company if required. No matter the setting, I keep owners completely connected to their pets by sending regular, detailed updates alongside plenty of photos and messages.
“Andy looked after our dog Lottie overnight and we honestly couldn’t have asked for better care. From the moment we met him, it was clear how kind, trustworthy and genuinely caring he is with animals. Lottie settled immediately and was so happy and relaxed when we collected her. Andy kept us updated, treated her like one of his own, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It’s obvious he truly loves dogs and takes great pride in what he does. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him and will absolutely be using him again in the future. First class in every way!”
“Absolutely amazing communication and a lovely lovely lady. Buddy had so much fun staying with Ivy, would thoroughly recommend. She kept us informed with videos and messages about him. Thank you Ivy ❤️”
“Highly Recommend Rebecca and Sean. The updates were great, sent many photos and videos throughout giving us peace of mind. Thank you for looking after Leo, would def book again.”
“Had a good first meeting with Robert and Dawn to introduce Oscar. Hand over on first day was great and they fitted in with my working day and drop off time changes. Oscar had a wonderful time, loved every moment and really enjoyed playing with the other dogs. They also helped his food transition to new food. I know Oscar is looking forward to his next visit.”
“Amazing! What a fantastic mini-break for my little pup - she got on so well with Stephanie's own dog - she is missing her, in fact(!) Genuinely made her feel welcome and did loads with her.”
About: I am a compassionate, reliable, and experienced animal care professional with over 8 years of experience working as a Veterinary Nurse, alongside my current role as an Ambulance Clinician. Caring for others has always been at the heart of what I do, and animals have been a lifelong passion of mine. My veterinary background has given me extensive experience caring for animals of all breeds, ages, and temperaments, including those with medical needs, anxiety, or additional care requirements. I am confident administering medication, recognising signs of illness, and ensuring pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Working as an Ambulance Clinician has strengthened my calm, responsible, and trustworthy nature, especially in high-pressure situations. I understand how important it is for owners to know their pets are in safe hands, and I treat every animal with the same care and affection I would give my own. Whether it’s walks, feeding, overnight stays, playtime, or companionship, I provide attentive, personalised care and genuinely love building bonds with animals I currently work shifts as an ambulance clinician, when I schedule pet care it will not be during my working days. My days when I am providing pet care will revolve around the animals normal routine or as close as I can. I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment for every pet in my care. I follow each pet's normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise, medication (if required), and any special care instructions. I make sure pets always have access to fresh water, a secure space to rest, and plenty of attention, enrichment, and supervision. I have a fenced garden and have access to open fields with wooden fencing. When caring for pets in an owner's home, I respect the home and maintain the pet's usual routine to help them feel comfortable and reduce stress. I keep owners updated with regular messages, photos, and reports. Safety is my priority, so I monitor pets closely during walks, playtime, and interactions with other animals, and I follow all instructions regarding health, behavior, and emergency contacts
About: I’ve taken care of my rescue dog for 4 years now. He completely transformed from being scared and unsure to confident, friendly and playful doggie. He loves company so I’ve decided to start boarding and daycare services. I live in a house with a fenced garden and will welcome any type of dog: all sizes and age :) I’m currently working full time from home, Monday to Friday, with a long lunch break to walk the dogs. I spend a lot of time on walks and games with my doggie during the weekend. I have a fenced garden and one friendly, medium size dog to keep your fur baby company. The house is spacious and safe with outside cameras.
“Debbie was absolutely brilliant with our nutty dog! She kept me up to date throughout the week and even took her to a secure field because our dog isn’t great with other dogs! Our dog had the best time and a holiday of her own by the looks of it! Would highly recommend! Thank you Debbie! Xx”
“The best ever, my Cooper is full of energy and he couldn't have been looked after any better! If I could give more than 5 stars I would. Kept me up to date and communication was on point!”
“Remy our Rhodesian Ridgeback clearly had a great time. I'm not sure that he really wanted to come home, having made friends with Bailey and Ruby. Great communication from Una with pictures and video updates gave us real piece of mind. Thankyou!”
“Luke has been great. Took care of both my dogs Elsa and Bella for 4 nights. They are big and excited dogs so not easy to handle but he did it well. I got updates throughout the day with photos and when something came up he quickly called me and sorted it there and then. Definitely recommending Luke to all my friends and will be using him in the future as he has been amazing and the dogs loved it, they were well looked after. Thank you Luke”
“My dog had a great time with Matt. We did a meet and greet to make sure my dog and his all got on before confirming the booking which was great. He settled in really quickly after dropping him off and I think he wanted to stay when it came to pick up time. He definitely settled in as a new pack member with Hugo & Rem. I would definitely book with Matt again - 5*”
About: Hi, we’re Harry & Dale. We’ve both grown up with dogs and, as a couple, cared for two very different personalities: Max, a high-energy Patterdale Terrier, and Molly, a gentle senior Black Labrador. That experience means we’re comfortable adapting care to suit individual dogs - from energetic walks and play to calmer routines, medication awareness, and senior needs. We’re patient, attentive, and good at reading behaviour, routines, and cues, helping dogs settle quickly and feel at home. Harry works from home most weekdays, so dogs are rarely left alone and can enjoy company, supervision, and regular comfort breaks throughout the day. Our routine is flexible, calm, and built around the dog’s usual feeding, walking, and rest schedule. Our home is relaxed, clean, and dog-friendly, with a secure garden for supervised outdoor time. We keep routines clear and consistent, follow owner instructions closely, and only take on dogs we’re confident we can care for safely and attentively. We don’t have children, and visiting family is always considered carefully around any dog in our care. Clear communication, regular updates, and your dog’s comfort and wellbeing always come first.
