“Can’t recommended Katy enough our dog Luna stayed for a week. Katy and her family are so welcoming and caring. Luna settled in straight away. Thank you Katy for looking after Luna so well. Katy gave me updates to let me know how Luna was settling in.”
“We’d never left Poppy with a dog sitter outside of the family before, but as soon as we arrived at Victoria’s house we were immediately put at ease. She was extremely welcoming and friendly. Our dog has quite niche requirements and Victoria followed everything to a tee. Poppy absolutely loved staying over. We got plenty of pictures and updates throughout the day which allowed us to enjoy our day out even more. We would recommend Victoria to anyone looking for a dog first dog sitter. We will definitely use Victoria again in the future and in fact we’re already booked back in, in a few weeks! We know Poppy would be delighted to stay again! Thanks again 😁”
“Five stars isn’t enough for Charlie and Gary! They looked after Lola, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. From the start, they were incredibly attentive, asked lots of questions at the meet and greet, and then followed Lola's care instructions. We were so grateful for the frequent photo updates, it really put our minds at ease seeing her so happy and settled while we were away. Lola had a blast on all her lovely walks, and the best part was seeing her bond with their dog, Jenny. By the time we picked her up, they were buddies! It’s such a relief to find sitters who truly treat your pup like family (and let's her snuggle on the sofa!) We would recommend Charlie and Gary in a heartbeat and will definitely be booking with them again in the future. Thanks again, guys!”
“Jennifer was brillant and Buddy absolutely loved his bank holiday stay. Jennifer provided excellent communication throughout sending updates and photos. Buddy cannot wait to stay again.x”
“Kimberley has looked after my 9 month old puppy a number of times now and he is always exceptionally well looked after and happy. Also receive lovely photos and videos and it is always comforting to see him enjoying himself. Would definitely recommend her.”
About: I’ve recently relocated from London to Brentwood and I’m looking to meet some new local pups! Over the last decade, I’ve handled everything from high-energy puppies who need help with their basic commands and potty training, to older dogs who just want a quiet companion. I’m reliable, tidy, and most importantly, I genuinely love Dogs! Since I’m new to the area, I’m currently building up my local client base and would love to meet you and your dog for a "Meet & Greet" to see if we’re a good fit! I work from home 3x a week, i would love to take care of another furry friend alongside my little frenchie! Long weekends are when i spend the most time with my dog :) I have a play area and crate available, we also have a park nearby that i usually go to for longer walks, my frenchie and dogs ive taken care of loves it there!
“Jane and her Husband were fantastic Great communication from the start. Sent daily updates with pictures and messages Lulla Belle has come home a very happy dog and a Xmas gift We will be using them again Thank you Paul Catherine”
“Serena looked after my dog Teddy and my cat Lexa for 11 days. Everything was smooth including drop off, pick up and communication throughout. Lexa is an indoor cat, Serena ensured she was kept inside, Lexa had cat trees to climb and play with. Teddy is a very affectionate lap dog, Serena made sure he had lots of cuddles. Both pets had a great time, thank you for looking after our fur babies so well.”
“Laura is a real dog lover and hence provided Otto our miniature dachshund with lots of love and attention when he stayed with her overnight. She followed all our requests and was responsive and reliable. She sent us photos and videos to reassure us he was settling in ok. I have no reservation in recommending her to other dog owners. We will definitely be using her services again.”
“First of all Becky was very responsive to messsges and was extremely easy to communicate with. She was absolutely brilliant with our bulldog who struggled a little, keeping him calm and cool and keeping in touch with us. A great sitter who I highly recommend.”
“We couldn't be happier with the care that Basil Boris provided for our dogs, Hugo and Peppa! From the moment we met, it was clear that they genuinely love animals. Peppa is 15 years old and requires a little extra attention like eye drops and cleaning and she was perfectly looked after. It really put our minds at ease knowing she was in such capable hands. Meanwhile, Hugo had a blast with their two other dogs and came home happy and well exercised. We received regular updates and pictures throughout the stay, which made us feel completely connected to our pets while we were away. We’re so grateful to have found such a reliable and caring sitter for our fur babies. We’ll definitely be booking them again in the future and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a thoughtful and trustworthy dog sitter. Thank you, Basil Boris, for taking such wonderful care of Hugo and Peppa!”

About: My partner Scott and I love dogs and have our own Czech Shepherd, who is friendly, well trained and loves to meet other dogs. We have grown up with lots of different dogs and we can look after dogs of any size or age comfortably! I work from home for most of the week and this is flexible so I can often cater for whenever dog care is needed. I can walk any dog we are looking after in the morning and the afternoon so that they can have lots of fun and also some down time in between! I have a large fenced garden so any dogs can run around and play. I have my own dog so I am used to making sure that a dog has everything it needs.
“Katie was great with Zero. Very caring and attentive. She was also flexible with our pickup time, which we really appreciated. We felt completely comfortable leaving Zero with her, and she seemed very relaxed and happy!”
About: I’ve had dogs all my life, 2 staffies (one who didn’t get on with other dogs) a springer and a jack/staffie cross. They all had their own personalities but all needed a lot of walks and I miss that the most, taking them out for a long walk in rain, hail or shine and getting home and watching them curl up and drift off always makes me happy. I work full time but wfh home on a Monday and Friday so I only offer long weekends, unless they can have a dog walker for the days I’m not at home. That way I know I can take them out for a walk in the morning and then again after work. I have a reasonably large fenced garden. I don’t allow dogs upstairs or on the furniture. You’re dog will get lots of cuddles, walks and playtime if they like those things, I know they don’t all do.

“Shay was really communicative both before and during her visits. She happily fed our wild visitors as well as the pets which is a huge plus! Most importantly though, Caia was clearly delighted to see her in the videos we were sent and was happy and relaxed when we came home. ”
“I can't recommend Vicky enough! From start to finish, she was an amazing communicator, keeping me informed before and during her time with Goose. She sent me daily updates with photos, which really put my mind at ease. Goose usually gets quite anxious when I’m away, but when I returned he was calm and content - a clear sign he was well looked-after”

I hate leaving Nino but knowing Debbie was taking such good care of him made it a lot easier. I will definitely book Debbie again. ”
“Stevie was absolutely amazing! So glad that I booked her! My cat can be a bit of a difficult one but she did everything I asked and more and I appreciated everything she did for my cat whilst I was away. I trusted her in my house completely and knew my cat was in safe hands -absolutely wouldn’t hesitate to book her again! Thank you so much for helping look after Strudel!”
“Jade was really reliable, sent us lovely photos and got on well with our cat. The cat is quite shy but she managed to brush her! We'd definitely recommend her and book her again.”
“Jay was beyond amazing with our old man Loki. He was kind, gentle and patient with our little man and we couldn’t be more happy with the service he provided! Loki was sleepy and happy when we got home, which means he’s had a great walk. We were sent pictures, and updates. Jay was on time, very polite and sweet and clearly has a real passion for working with dogs! We will be booking in regularly with jay, as Loki seems to love him to bits! Thank you for looking after our boy with such care and love.”
“Harry’s great! He’s taken care of my cat a few times now and is always reliable, caring, and so easy to communicate with. I really appreciate the updates he sends — such peace of mind while I’m away. Highly recommend!”
“Kendall looked after Hugo beautifully today. She took him for a walk then did a drop in visit as we were out all day. She did everything I asked her to do and kept me in the loop. Kendall was caring and attentive and Hugo was very happy to see her. Was very reassuring knowing he was in such good hands 😄😄”
About: Your pets comfort and safety will be my top priority. I have experience with a company providing holiday care, including experience with administering medicine and special diets. I currently work part time, I am available a during the week and at weekends and nights if needed. Also, I will be able to do some holidays. Any time I am walking a dog I will always keep them on the their lead. If they are used to sleeping in the bedroom then I will do the same as they will feel more comfortable and want them to feel at home.
“Yasmina took brilliant care of our miniature yorkie puppy. She sent detailed and reassuring information to us after each visit. We cannot thank her enough for looking after our baby boy so well. We will definitely use Yasmina’s services again in the near future.?”
“Amazing host looked after and cared for my kitten beautifully. Lives in a lovely environment I felt safe leaving my pet there. A true animal lover and kept in touch each day perfect !!! Will defo use again”
About: I am a massive cat lover and seeing my own two cats is truly the highlight of my day. I have extensive experience looking after family and friends' cats while they are away on holiday, and I treat every kitty I meet with the exact same devotion. Because my own two cats have completely opposite personalities, I am an expert at reading their cues: one of my cats is shy so I am know to be patient, when to step back, give them space, and let them come to me at their own pace. My second cat loves non-stop affection, so I am always ready for big cuddles, chin scratches, and playful energy! I am naturally caring, kind, and intuitive. I will always match your cat's unique vibe - whether they need a quiet, gentle presence or an active playmate during drop ins.
About: I’ve grown up around pets and have owned both cats and dogs. My family currently have a cat that I regularly help care for, and I often look after my sister’s two cats while she’s away. I’m confident with feeding, cleaning litter trays, administering basic care, providing companionship and keeping cats comfortable in their own environment. I understand that every cat has a different personality and I always take a calm, patient approach to help them feel safe and relaxed while their owners are away.
“We had such a great experience with Georgina looking after our animals, even our three month old puppy! She kept in regular contact and gave us plenty of updates, which really put my mind at ease. I’m always a little nervous leaving such a young puppy as they can definitely be a handful, but nothing seemed too much for Georgina and I felt really reassured knowing they were in good hands. We even had an unexpected issue with one of our frog tank water sprayers while we were away, and Georgina was more than happy to help sort it out for us, which we really appreciated! Reliable, caring and clearly comfortable looking after a house full of different animals. We would absolutely recommend Georgina and wouldn’t hesitate to have her look after our little zoo again! ❤️”

About: I have started taking care of family and friends cats and dogs over the past year and I absolutely love it! I love the comapny and taking them for walks it brings me so much joy as I work from home. I work from home and love having pets to keep me company.

About: I have been looking after dogs for the last few years. I have lots of experience in walking, feeding and also playing while making them feel happy and comfortable. I have grown up with dogs so love their company and having them in the house. I work full time, but would only look after dogs when I am working from home. My days are flexible so I can walk them throughout the day to fit with their routine. I have a secure garden so can keep the back door open for them to be outside when they like. I can easily work around any of the dogs requirements! I have a secure garden so they can be outside if they like! I don’t have any of my own dogs so they would have all my attention. I would happily let them snuggle on the sofa if they like. The house is very dog friendly with lots of blankets and plenty of room for them to run about!
“Izabella was a great dog sitter! We know our dog Coop can be very high energy, but she said he was great and she eas so patient! She made sure we would get regular updates and she gave Coop plenty of attention. We would absolutely recommend her!!”
About: I’ve taken care of many pets including dogs, cats, lizards, and fish. I have always been the trusted person within my family and between my friends to look after their pets, as i’m very good with instructions and can be great fun. My energy will always depend on the incredible pet that I look after so that they do not feel overwhelmed or bored at all! Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine because I currently do not have a job or other major commitments. This means I can dedicate my full attention and time to the pets in my care, ensuring they receive plenty of companionship, playtime, exercise, and affection throughout the day. I understand how important consistency and attention are for pets, so I am able to follow their routines closely, whether that involves feeding schedules, walks, medication, or simply spending quality time with them. Because I have a very flexible schedule, I can adapt to your pet’s needs and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. My priority is always the happiness and wellbeing of the animals I look after, and I take pride in providing reliable, attentive care that gives owners complete peace of mind. If a pet is staying in my home, they may also meet my 5-year-old sister. She is very gentle, calm, and loving around animals, and has grown up understanding the importance of treating pets with kindness and respect. She knows that some pets enjoy attention while others need their own space, and she is very good at recognising those boundaries. She loves spending time with friendly pets, whether that means quietly sitting with them, playing gently, or simply keeping them company. However, she always follows instructions and understands that the pet’s comfort comes first. This means visiting pets can enjoy a calm, family-friendly environment with plenty of love and attention if they choose to interact. However, Whether I am caring for pets in my own home or in a pet owner’s home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and specific needs so I can provide care that feels familiar and stress-free. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, exercise, medication, grooming, and any other requirements. I also make sure pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship, while respecting their individual personalities and boundaries. For cats, this may mean providing a calm environment and gentle interaction, while for dogs it could involve walks, games, and lots of affection. I keep living spaces clean and tidy, ensure fresh water is always available, and monitor pets closely for any changes in behaviour or wellbeing. Since I currently have a flexible schedule, I can dedicate plenty of time to the pets in my care, helping them feel relaxed and secure while their owners are away. My goal is always to treat every pet as if they were my own and give owners complete confidence that their beloved companion is in caring and responsible hands.
“Jane took great care of Elsa, both booking and handover were smooth and efficient and Jane responds promptly to messages. Elsa came back happy and contented. Would not hesitate to rebook with Jane.”
About: I grew up with a gorgeous border collie whom I trained to a high level as the breed requires lots of mental stimulation and physical activity. In my previous role I would also dog sit a variety of breeds and loved every second! I currently work hybrid with my partner Sam so one of us is always at home during the week. We enjoy going on walks around the local forests and Essex countryside. I have a spacious garden in a gated community plus lots of local green areas where furry friends can enjoy long walks and nature. There are many dogs in the neighbourhood for them to socialise! There is a lift in my apartment building for older dogs who may be less mobile, it also leads directly to the garden. My apartment is one floor so the pooch would not have to climb stairs or be separated at night, meaning they would have constant company. I have comfy beds, blankets, treats and toys, and welcome their favourites into the home.
“Chené is amazing. Very understanding of Baxter’s breed so all my initial worries with him being a normal Vizsla with his playfulness were gone knowing Chené also has a Viz the same age. Baxter came back so happy, so much so he tried to go back with Chené when she was trying to go home 🤣. Would 100% recommend.”
“Thank you Sayo for looking after Rockie so well and he and Cassie got along great. My husband was and still is in hospital so it was a stressful time for me (hence my reason for only remembering this now) but you alleviated all of my concerns on meeting you and I trusted my little man would be ok and he was. If I ever need last minute Day Care for him again, I will definitely remember you. Thank you again.”
“Kim has been absolutely amazing with my dog, Lulu. This was the 4th time she’s cared for her, and as always, she went above and beyond! Kim kept me updated throughout the day with adorable photos and videos, which always gives me such peace of mind. She even did some crafting with Lulu – how thoughtful and creative is that? It’s clear that she genuinely loves and cares for Lulu like her own. I couldn’t ask for a better sitter. Thank you, Kim, for being so wonderful! Highly recommend her to anyone looking for top-notch care for their furry friends. 🐾”
About: I am from a doggy family - we had a boxer, bulldogs, a basset hound and pugs growing up. We also had litters of puppies! Loads of hands on experience with all dogs, big and small! I now have a French bulldog, Louis, who would love some company. Please don’t be put off that I live in an apartment- it’s Thorndon Hall, a listed converted mansion with lovely grounds and backing onto thorndon country park. We are on the top floor penthouses but have a lift, so your dog will get lots of trips downstairs for the toilet and sniffs and lovely walks in the woods. I work from and so am home all day. My partner is around too and my 13 year old daughter will also be on hand to make a fuss. Our dog sleeps in the bed with my daughter or with us, so your dog will also be able to sleep in with us if they’d like. Our dog gets on well with all female dogs. For males, it would be good to have them meet briefly beforehand, just to be sure. He is great with all of the dogs in our family and at his own dog sitters, but unneutured males have been known to make him a bit unsettled. I work at home, so will be present with your dog all day. We will take my daughter to school and then go for a walk together. We’ll then have breakfast and rest, head out again at lunchtime and then again at dinner. We always go for a last little walk around the grounds just before bed. We have large grounds, with plenty of areas to sniff and explore. We do doggy things in the evenings and weekends, with country park walks, beach walks and dog park trips. We have a crate if your dog needs alone time and plenty of space and separate rooms. I am confident and happy administering medication and following diet plans where needed. I want your dog to feel as relaxed and happy as possible, so will tailor what we do to their needs and to align with their home schedule.
About: Hi, I am very passionate, lifelong animal lover since childhood. I treat every pet as if they were my own. I understand that leaving your furry family members can be stressful, so my top priority is keeping them safe, happy, and comfortable in their familiar routines. I have plenty of time to care for your furry family member weekdays and weekends. I can offer services of dog walking, drop-in visit, boarding. Your furry family member can access to the fenced garden and inside the house which is kept clean and tidy all the time, also I have a puppy who's energy level is high and very playful with dogs.
About: Animals have been the center of my world for as long as I can remember. I have lived with and cared for pets and dogs from the age of six, meaning that understanding animal behavior, routines, and body language is second nature to me. This lifelong devotion allows me to quickly connect with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I was solely the proud owner of a rescue dog who required daily medication, strict routines, and an immense amount of patience. This beautiful experience taught me how to connect with sensitive, anxious, or medical-needs dogs. I know firsthand how to build trust with animals at their own pace, providing a calm and safe environment for pets who need extra tenderness. I work from home most of the week and can be home all day so your dog will always have company. I can also be available at weekends if I know in advance. - I have a fenced garden so your pet can use freely to play or for toilet breaks whenever they like - I do not have any other pets - Pets are allowed on furniture 🤎🐾

“Kendall took my puppy Hugo for a walk as I was out all day. He enjoyed himself and it was a massive comfort knowing he was well cared for while I was out. Kendall did everything I asked her to do regarding Hugo’s routine and kept me in the loop.”
“Stevie was excellent, went round and dropped in to look after Otis whilst I was out for the day. It was too hot for a walk but just having her pop in for an hour broke up the day for Otis.”
About: I've been looking after dogs for a few years now. I'm attentive to their needs and make sure they're happy, healthy and comfortable with treats and toys on hand. I have experience with nervous dogs who are nervous around people and other dogs so understand what their limits are and when to keep them calm. Dogs are great company and they always have a good time when they come to stay. 😊 I work from home 3 days a week. Also happy to look after dogs at weekends. I'm flexible on times for dogs to come to my home and walks I have plenty of outside space including 2 parks near by for walks and potty. Also a comfy home for them to play and relax. For overnight stays I recommend an intro meeting before hand to make sure the dog feels happy and comfortable with me in my home.
“Tobias was really friendly. He helped my mum walk my Dogs while I was away for 2 weeks. He would send me photo updates for the walks. He was very knowledgeable about dogs and would give training advice. My dog does not like new people, but warmed to Tobias instantly. I will be using him again soon.”
About: I have had dogs in my life since I was 16. I’ve cared for puppies, through to very senior dogs my last 2 dogs being 17 and 14 years old. So am happy and experienced with all stages of a dog’s life. You can be confident in the knowledge that while your fur baby is with me, they will be treated as a member of the family. We will play together, walk together and spend quality time together. I will be happy to send you updates and photos of your dog, while you’re away. Once you pick them up, I want you and them to feel that their time with me, has been like a home away from home. I am currently at home full time, so would be available for 1:1 care and lots of snuggles. I love taking dogs for long walks, but happy with short fulfilling walks if that’s more to their taste. Experienced in ball throwing, tug of war and hide and seek. As well as doggy treats whenever the need arises. I have a fully fenced large garden, that until recently was enjoyed by my own two large dogs. It is currently regularly visited and enjoyed by my daughter’s Cockapoo.
About: My partner Scott and I love dogs and have our own Czech Shepherd, who is friendly, well trained and loves to meet other dogs. We have grown up with lots of different dogs and we can look after dogs of any size or age comfortably! I work from home for most of the week and this is flexible so I can often cater for whenever dog care is needed. I can walk any dog we are looking after in the morning and the afternoon so that they can have lots of fun and also some down time in between! I have a large fenced garden so any dogs can run around and play. I have my own dog so I am used to making sure that a dog has everything it needs.
About: I moved in with my partner from my family home nearly 3 years ago, where I cared for my family dog for over 18 years and continue to do on a regular basis. I now also have two 3 year old dogs of my own, pugs Nellie and Nala! I have cared for a variety of dogs via Rover since January 2024, and also for friends and family’s dogs over the years, of all sizes and ages. I work from home 3/5 days of the working week, with a fair amount of flexibility in my schedule. Because of all of this, I am able to care for your fur babies when I am home in the week. I am available for dog walks or drop-ins for your pets throughout the day in the week. I drive and I am happy to have your pets in the car strapped in with a bed or blanket (or a cage if this is your preference and what they are used to) if required. For walks, my preference is to remain on a long lead regardless of if they have a good recall or not. Please do drop me a message if you would like more details on my experience with dogs, or if you have any questions about how I can cater to your fur baby 😊 I work from home Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays and I can be available on weekends with a relatively flexible schedule throughout all of these days. If you would require me to visit your home to care for your dog, it would be great to visit, or have a video call, beforehand so I can familiarise myself with the space and where everything is to care for your pet.

About: I provide personalised, one to one care, treating every dog as if they were my own. I live with my partner, and we have both grown up with dogs in our lives - and still have them in our families - so caring for dogs has always been a natural and important part of who we are. Our home is full of genuine love, understanding and respect for animals. I take the time to understand each dog's routine, unique personality and individual needs, so they always feel safe, relaxed and truly loved while in my care. I have experience caring for a puppy, including reinforcing basic training, maintaining toilet routines, and helping them settle into positive habits. I am also confident and patient with senior dogs, providing gentle support, administering medication if needed and offering plenty of comfort and reassurance. Communication is very important to me and I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone else. I can provide regular updates, messages and photos so you can feel completely at ease. My goal is to always create a secure, calm and happy environment where your dog feels right at home. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, as I am currently not working elsewhere and can dedicate my full time and attention to the pets I care for. This allows me to be very flexible and fully present. Because I am at home and available throughout the day, I can offer regular walks, feeding at preferred times, playtime and plenty of attention. I provide attentive, personalised care based on each pet's routine, needs and personality. Whether caring for pets in my home or in the owner's home, I aim to keep things as familiar and stress-free as possible. If your pet is crate trained and used to having their own crate, I'm more than happy to continue this routine and can provide space for it in my home. I kindly ask that you supply the crate so it feels familiar and comfortable for them. However, if your pet is accustomed to more relaxed arrangements, they are also welcome to enjoy cuddles on the sofa or sleep in bed, ensuring they feel comfortable, secure and at home. When caring for pets in an owner's home, I respect their property and maintain the pet's normal routine to minimise disruption and stress.
“We’re so pleased we found Harry via Rover. He was able to agree to a meet and greet and daily walks for a week at relatively short notice. Our dog seemed to love his walks and it gave us peace of mind knowing he was getting the extra exercise he needed with somebody we could trust. We’ll certainly be using Harry again when we need extra support.”

“We’d never left Poppy with a dog sitter outside of the family before, but as soon as we arrived at Victoria’s house we were immediately put at ease. She was extremely welcoming and friendly. Our dog has quite niche requirements and Victoria followed everything to a tee. Poppy absolutely loved staying over. We got plenty of pictures and updates throughout the day which allowed us to enjoy our day out even more. We would recommend Victoria to anyone looking for a dog first dog sitter. We will definitely use Victoria again in the future and in fact we’re already booked back in, in a few weeks! We know Poppy would be delighted to stay again! Thanks again 😁”

About: My partner Scott and I love dogs and have our own Czech Shepherd, who is friendly, well trained and loves to meet other dogs. We have grown up with lots of different dogs and we can look after dogs of any size or age comfortably! I work from home for most of the week and this is flexible so I can often cater for whenever dog care is needed. I can walk any dog we are looking after in the morning and the afternoon so that they can have lots of fun and also some down time in between! I have a large fenced garden so any dogs can run around and play. I have my own dog so I am used to making sure that a dog has everything it needs.
About: I’ve grown up with large dogs my entire life. Growing up we had a German shepherd names Sabre and then a husky named Eski. Throughout our entire family we’ve always had big dogs, including an XL bully & Great Dane mastiff cross. I’m confident with all types and dogs and have an unbelievable amount of love for them! I go into the office once or twice a week so have most of the week to be at home looking after and playing with dogs. I’m an avid walker so enjoy taking the dogs out in the countryside I have a fenced garden with some good space and dogs living either side of me. I love a cuddle and playtime with all dogs.
About: Animals have been the center of my world for as long as I can remember. I have lived with and cared for pets and dogs from the age of six, meaning that understanding animal behavior, routines, and body language is second nature to me. This lifelong devotion allows me to quickly connect with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I was solely the proud owner of a rescue dog who required daily medication, strict routines, and an immense amount of patience. This beautiful experience taught me how to connect with sensitive, anxious, or medical-needs dogs. I know firsthand how to build trust with animals at their own pace, providing a calm and safe environment for pets who need extra tenderness. I work from home most of the week and can be home all day so your dog will always have company. I can also be available at weekends if I know in advance. - I have a fenced garden so your pet can use freely to play or for toilet breaks whenever they like - I do not have any other pets - Pets are allowed on furniture 🤎🐾
About: I’ve had dogs all my life, 2 staffies (one who didn’t get on with other dogs) a springer and a jack/staffie cross. They all had their own personalities but all needed a lot of walks and I miss that the most, taking them out for a long walk in rain, hail or shine and getting home and watching them curl up and drift off always makes me happy. I work full time but wfh home on a Monday and Friday so I only offer long weekends, unless they can have a dog walker for the days I’m not at home. That way I know I can take them out for a walk in the morning and then again after work. I have a reasonably large fenced garden. I don’t allow dogs upstairs or on the furniture. You’re dog will get lots of cuddles, walks and playtime if they like those things, I know they don’t all do.
“I booked a last minute boarding request with Indy for three days for my large dog. 5 stars doesn’t even cut it! My dog is a rescue and can be nervous at times, but she loved every second. Even though the request was last minute, Indy still accommodated a meet before booking anything, which went well. Layla was so very well looked after and cared for by the family, I had constant updates via text with pictures and videos, she was having the best time. I couldn’t recommend Indy enough, I’ll absolutely be rebooking when the time comes that Layla needs boarding/ dog sitting again”
About: I take the time to get to know each dog as an individual. Every dog has their own personality, routine, likes and dislikes, so I’ll always follow the routine you’re used to at home wherever possible. Whether your dog wants long walks and lots of play, or prefers a quiet afternoon on the sofa getting cuddles, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable and happy. I also understand how difficult it can be leaving your pet with someone else. That’s why I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages throughout their stay, so you can relax knowing your fur baby is having a lovely time. 🥰 For me, pet sitting isn’t just a job I want your dog to be genuinely excited to come back and see me! 🐶You won’t just be booking a dog sitter you’ll be choosing someone who genuinely cares about making your dog feel safe, loved and spoiled while you’re away. 🫶 Please note I can also look after your dog on a 1-1 basis without any dogs around! Just make sure you request this when you message me :) I grew up in a house full of dogs and puppies! I now work from home, which means I have a very flexible schedule and can give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. Unlike someone who works away from home for hours, I’m here throughout the day, so your pet won’t be left alone for long periods. I can fit walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles and toilet breaks around my working day, and I’m able to give them lots of company and attention throughout the day. Essentially, when your pet stays with me, my home becomes their home too 💕 I live in a large, spacious home with a huge garden and acres of private land, giving dogs plenty of room to explore, play and relax. I also have beautiful woodland just a few seconds’ walk from our home, which is perfect for lovely walks and plenty of new smells to explore🐾🌳 I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable and settled in my home, while keeping their individual routines, needs and personalities in mind. I’ll follow your instructions carefully around feeding, walks, medication, treats and bedtime routines, so your pet’s stay feels as familiar as possible.
