“I am extremely pleased with the service Joshua provided whilst we were away. He is a reliable sitter, kind and caring, going the extra mile for the wellbeing of Misty, our family kitten. He ensured that Misty’s wellbeing comes first. Misty was well fed and received a lot of fuss. Joshua kept her area clean and tidy, which I am really grateful for. Thank you so much, Joshua! Top service! 😊”


“Stephanie was a total delight, we trusted her immediately with our home and fur baby. She was prompt and left detailed updates and photo's. This being the first time I've used this service, I'm sure she did over and above and exceeded our expectations. We felt Zeus and Willow were well looked after and in safe hands, 100% would recommend Stephanie and Indi and will definitely be booking her again. Thank you so much Stephanie, you were fantastic! Xxx”


“Michaela was great looking after my two dogs while I was away. She kept me up to date, with lots of pictures. Would definitely go to Michaela again. Thanks!!”


“Polite, friendly, professional. Great updates and my house was very tidy when I got home (I know my cat can be messy) would definitely recommend Tracey anytime.”


“Saf was absolutely incredible with our two cats! She has a natural ability with animals and kept us well-informed with detailed updates and photos after each visit, which was so reassuring since it was our first time being abroad. She was always punctual and went above and beyond to care for our cats. One of them is extremely shy, while the other requires extra attention due to medical needs, and Saf handled both of them perfectly, they both loved her! We couldn’t recommend her highly enough!”


“Olivia is an absolute gem! We just moved to the UK and also our first time using Rover. After a quick meet & greet - I knew our boys (2 cats) would be in good hands. Olivia is very responsive, kind, and her love for animals is obvious. Olivia visited each day at the agreed upon times and I received photos every visit, both of which allowed me to not stress and enjoy my time away (not stressing about my babies is very difficult for me!). Upon returning home, she had cleaned any & all cat messes, including vacuuming and sprucing up. It was lovely coming home to a clean place! I immediately re-booked Olivia for our next trip and would highly recommend her to anyone :)”


About: My partner and I have been raised alongside furry friends our entire lives, sadly we lost our pet of 14 years a while ago and whilst we are not ready to have another of own just yet, we do have a lot of love, snuggles and care to give whilst your away from them. I currently work from home so have plenty of time to care for your furry friend. If required, we can provide 3 walks per day with frequent toilet breaks during the day in a secured walled/fenced large garden. The morning walk will be before 08:0 with a walk at lunch (20 mins) and a longer walk in the evenings once my partner Martin returns home. We have parks locally and some fantastic long walks around Thrapston lakes. We have looked after a variety of dogs (and cats) and totally understand that every dog is different with their unique quirks, needs, wants and levels of attention, every visit is tailored to their needs whether just for the day or boarding overnight. We will ensure your dog is cared for as if our own and provide video/picture updates if required. I have completed a CPD Dog First Aid course and we have a doggie first aid kit on hand for any emergencies. I also have Pet Business Insurance with Protectivity, please ask if you would like to see a copy of the policy. The day would start with a walk before work (before 08:00) then your pets would be settled with me whilst I work from home. They will have access to the whole house and can lay peacefully on the couch in my study or in their own comfy beds if they want company or can retreat into their own space and watch the world go by out of the bay windows in the lounge. They would have frequent toilet/play breaks, lots of fussing and attention and a short lunchtime walk before a longer evening walk after work. My partner and co carer, Martin will join us on this evening walk which is usually taken around the local lakes or nearby parks. Snuggles and playtime in the evening before final toilet break, treat and bedtime. I have a fenced and walled garden which is totally secure, we currently do not have any pets of our own so yours will be our priority and we will only take pets from the same family in one booking. We will only bored dogs that have completed a meet & greet and the opportunity to walk on lead. This to make sure both your dog is as happy with us as we are with them. Whilst we will always try to accommodate a home from home experience and have toys/beds/treats available please ensure you pack their favourite toy/blanket or even an item of clothing that gives comfort to your pooch whilst your gone.

“Brilliant for the 2nd time! Twink is always so much more relaxed when we return. You’d be crazy not to book Lauren!! She is professional, friendly and great with pets. Thanks again Lauren! 😁”


“We appreciate Grace taking care of our cat Hayley while we were away. She was communicative throughout the pet-sitting period, always replying to my messages on the same day. Our cat seemed reasonably happy overall, though she was a bit scared when we returned and hadn’t really eaten her wet food during our absence (which is not like her). That said, it’s not unusual for her to be shy with new people, and we believe the sitter handled things with care. We appreciated the clean space when we got home. Overall, a positive experience.”


About: I’ve had animals in my life since I was born so I understand the love and responsibility it takes to look after your pets. I’ve had about 3 years experience of pet sitting and live at home with my family with 5 dogs! So I have lots of experience caring for animals. I’m a hybrid worker so I’m in the office on Tuesdays and Wednesdays and work from home the rest of the week. If you’re local I can do drop ins and walks before work, on my lunches (when I’m working from home) or in the evenings. I can do overnight stays any day of the week. I will care for your pets in your home, treating them as if they were my own and making sure they’re comfortable and feel safe with me! I am fully insured.

About: I've been around dogs my whole life, wanted to offer a dog friendly drop in’s, walks and pre-arranged sits for overnight stays and worry free pet stays for all those pet owners out there, making sure their boy or girl is cared for and treated with love, walks and warmth I am a dog owner, one dog friendly boy in our home permanently, out for walks every day, spoil, ensure they have field walks, park walks, ensuring they are well cared for and loved daily This will go by your needs for your dog, I can ensure your dog is safe, I would go by their routine and can fit it into anything reasonable

About: I have previously worked in rescue which involved a lot of nervous/aggressive dogs. I have fostered lots of dogs in the past from week old puppies to senior dogs. I have 2 years experience with police, prison and military dogs as well as other service dogs. I worked at a boarding kennels for 2 years and have experienced many different behaviour dogs and many different sizes. From the very tiniest to the largest breed you could think of. I take time with getting the dogs to trust me and build a bond. I’m currently working full time but my hours vary. Some days I could be doing 11-3pm and others 8am - 5pm. I’m free most weekends and most evenings. I have a large fenced off garden and one very friendly family dog to keep your fur baby company if you choose or they can be the only ones (she doesn’t live with me but comes over from time to time). There is an option for a crate if needed but I allow them to go on our beds if desired.

“It was great to have Kirsty look after our two girls, she was very enthusiastic and lovely. Both cats gave her the seal of approval which can be difficult as one of them is very nervous of strangers. I would definitely recommend and use again.”


About: I’ve had dogs as part of my family since the age of 10 so I am well aware of the needs and attention a dog can need. I have dog sat for neighbours in the past as well as dog walking for a local kennels. I’m an avid animal lover dedicating my life to getting an animal related degree and now working with animals full time. I work a 8-4 job so am available most evenings and weekends. I also have every 3 Monday and Fridays off work so am available in the day some weekdays. I have a 4 year old cockapoo living at home so the house is dog proof and always full of toys to play with. It has now become a habit to always see my dogs in the corner of my eye so I can care for all their needs at the right moment.


About: We’ve always had dogs but recently lost ours to old age and a stroke. The kids love animals but our family travels and we felt it would be better to help others with their dogs than get another for ourselves while the kids are young. We love walks and have a 2 acre garden which is perfectly suited to any type of dog large or small! We both work from home so have lots of cuddle time available for the dogs we care for as well as ample time available for lots of walks in the huge amounts of Countryside Surrounding our home. With walks in Tywell hills and Dales, walks to the Drayton Estate, and onwards to other surrounding villages your pet will never be short of exercise! As a dog owner i’ve trained dogs in agility, flyball and obedience and consider myself to be an experienced handler of Collies, Staffordshire bull terriers and British bull dogs. We are open to any breed but they need to be happy to be around children and not nervous.

About: I owned 2 Golden Retrievers for 19 years. I loved the first so much i bred her & kept 1 of the 8 puppies & mother & daughter were inseparable. This experience was amazing & i kept in touch with the dogs & families of the other 7 puppies all their lives. I also have 2 Grand dogs in the family a Labrador & a Sprocker Spaniel which i adore & look after regularly. I miss having a dog & would like to give some love to others. I have recently retired & have time to look after other animals in their own homes. Having had years of experience and a lot of love to give. I am happy to visit & feed other dogs & walk them as necessary on a regular basis. I am very aware of the importance of safety and the health of the animals in our care.

“Isabelle was absolutely fantastic for our greyhound- he has a new best friend! She is so considerate and loving with him. Isabelle spent time with him at home before taking him for a walk locally. Would highly recommend.”


About: Have loads of years looking after family, friends and neighbours pets, aswell of my very own pets of course! Being around animals is a gift to me! I work a 4on 4off work, starting at 6am and finishing at 7pm on work days, will be more than happy to do as much as possible when not at work! I have work as a carer before, as home visits caring for people, so I'm quite familiar with keysafes and alarms. I'm also aware that each house, person, and pet will have their own requirements and I'm happy to follow any rules, or requests.

About: I am an experienced home boarder of over 9 years, licensed by North Northants Council (License Number 21/00355/AWBH), and have been awarded a 5 ⭐️rating. I've been raised alongside dogs. I have an abundance of repeat customers with happy dogs. I often see the owner having to drag them away from my door because they want to see me which is a testament to my treatment of them. Always plenty of walks, lots of fuss, cuddles and playtime. DBS checked. Also experienced in house sitting, pet visits and dog walking. I have looked after many dogs over the years with behavioural and/or walking issues and I always endeavour to try to get to the root of their issues with lots of reassurance, love and common sense. If house sitting, I am happy to cater for any other pets also at the property at the time of visiting. All dogs for home boarding or doggy daycare must have an up-to-date vaccination certificate. Also, dogs staying in excess of 3 nights, will be subject to a trial night beforehand to ensure that we bond together well (usual rate fee to be paid). Please also remember that my fees include the additional cost of my licence from the Council with all relevant updating and approvals carried out, full and comprehensive public liability insurance, plus the fact that I am not caring for your dog as an additional second income, or because I’m working from home- it’s because I’m passionate about dogs and their welfare 🐾🐶💕 Bookings are already being taken for 2024, so please book early to avoid disappointment. All meet and greets are free of charge, available at a convenient time for you, even at weekends. My days are entirely devoted to your dogs. I occasionally have other dog walks for Clients, but I will include your dog, if at all possible. It is unusual for dogs to be left alone for more than an hour as my partner and sister are on hand to help. All dogs are treated as part of the family. If allowed on furniture at home, then they are at mine. I endeavour to stick to the owners routine and requirements at all times but, ultimately, its the happiness and welfare of the dogs that is important to me.

Sue K.
“I am Sue's son. She has always had dogs her whole life, she shows so much care towards them and always goes above and beyond. I no longer live with her, but when I did I always saw how well she looked after the dogs she sitted or walked. She would always go out of her way to make sure the dogs were comfortable, I very much doubt any other sitter would show this much care”


Bradley K.
“I’ve know Bradley for over 10 years now and in the time I’ve known him he’s been fantastic with animals, he’s walked my dog buzz many times and buzz gets excited everytime he sees Bradley. He had a family dog for 17 years so he’s not short of experience. I highly recommend him.”
