“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!”
“Izabella was absolutely wonderful with our little boy. She showered him with love and cuddles, kept him thoroughly entertained, and her communication throughout was excellent, we received constant updates and photos. We would wholeheartedly recommend her.”
“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: Hi! I’m 22 years old and have been around animals my entire life. I have looked after big breeds like bullmastiffs and cats regularly, so I’m very comfortable with both large dogs and the individual routines and loveable quirks of cats! In the past, I’ve also owned and cared for rabbits and bearded dragons which has given me experience with a wide range of temperaments and care needs. As a masters student, I attend university only twice a week, so aside from my lectures, I can dedicate all my time to caring for your pet. If your dog is sociable, I can arrange safe introductions with friendly pets of my neighbours or nearby family members. If your pet prefers a quieter environment, they’ll have my flat to themselves, ensuring they never feel overwhelmed. I’m available for boarding any day of the week and on Mondays and Wednesdays before 11am and after 4pm for drop ins or visits! Your dogs safety and comfort are my top priority. My flat has a secure balcony with high fencing, providing safe ventilation if your dog needs fresh air while I step out briefly. I have a crate suitable for all sizes, including large breeds like a bullmastiff, so your dog can rest securely when needed. For exercise and outdoor fun, I live next to a beautiful countryside field with a lake, perfect for safe, scenic walks. Every aspect of their environment is designed to keep them happy, secure and cared for.
“Rocky had the best day with Jennifer. He was very well looked after and he kept on running back to her when I picked him up, which is unlike him as he can take a long time to get used to someone. She kept me updated the whole day with photos and videos, which was lovely.”
“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.”
“Nicole is absolutely wonderful with my dog, who can be challenging as he doesn’t like strangers. My dog loves seeing Nicole because he gets taken on runs, outings and gets to sunbathe in Nicole’s garden. Would highly recommend booking Nicole as a sitter.”
“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’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 was very communicative the whole way through, really lovely to talk to and left me feeling very happy about leaving our precious dogs with her. They have come home relaxed and happy, walked and so well looked after. Thank you Jane.”
“This was my first time reaching out to a dog sitter, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! She was so welcoming, approachable, and made me feel instantly at ease. My dog, Sai, felt calm and comfortable in her home, which says a lot. She kept me updated regularly with messages and photos, which gave me great peace of mind. It’s clear she genuinely cares for dogs and treats them as her own. I’ll definitely be recommending her to others and will absolutely be booking with her again!”
“Elisa was fantastic. We trusted her with our beloved Twix whilst we were away on holiday. She sent regular updates and pictures. We could tell from the pictures Twix was having a great time and being looked after. Daily walks and plenty of activity with Elsie’s own dog. We’re really pleased we went with Elisa and the service she’s provided. Would recommend and use again.”
“Ollie my 8 month old Cockerpoo had a great time with Sayo. My daughter actually dropped him off and collected him. When we arrived home I must admit that Ollie seemed a big calmer (which was needed as he is a typical puppy). Anyway I would Definately book Sayo again.”
“My dog had a fantastic time with Chené. She kept me up to date with the loveliest photos and was easy to contact. Chené was helpful from the first message and was keen to keep commands and routines consistent. I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again.”
About: What sets me apart is my calm, caring approach and genuine love for dogs of all ages and personalities. I’ve had dogs my whole life, including a Staffie, Old English Bulldog, and Frenchie, and I’ve also cared for a German Shepherd and other family dogs. I’m currently caring for a Cockapoo puppy, so I’m very familiar with puppy routines, basic training, and lots of playtime and patience! I also have experience with senior dogs who may need extra gentle care or medication support. I’m reliable, attentive, and treat every dog as if they were my own—making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I work from home on Wednesdays and Fridays, so I can give dogs plenty of attention and company on those days, and I’m flexible the rest of the week to fit your dog’s routine. I always aim to keep things consistent, calm, and stress-free for every pet. At my home, I have a large fenced garden that’s perfect for safe playtime and throwing a ball, so dogs can burn off energy in a secure space. I always make sure pets feel safe, happy, and cared for—just like part of the family.

“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. ”
About: Alongside dog walking, I also offer drop-in visits for cats in the Brentwood area. During these visits, I’ll make sure your cat is well looked after—whether that’s feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter trays, or simply spending time playing and giving them attention and company. I’ve cared for cats of all kinds from a young age, so I’m very comfortable with different personalities—whether they’re playful and sociable or a bit more shy and independent. I understand that cats can be sensitive to changes in their routine, so I always aim to keep things calm, familiar, and stress-free while you’re away. My goal is to make sure your cat feels safe, cared for, and relaxed in their own home, while giving you peace of mind that they’re in loving and experienced hands.
“Kerry was so amazing with our 2 cats over the 10 days we were on holiday, and put us at ease straight away being a cat lover herself. We came back to some chilled out cats given they’d been at home, no stress of a Cattery. She came twice a day, fed and watered them well, even brought her own radio to keep them company. Poopa scooped and helped kept the areas clean and tidy! Sent us pictures and videos everyday, and to boot we all made a new friend. Thank you so much Kerry!!!!”
“Jenny cared for my cat very well. I asked her to do some little extras like leave empty food pouches in outside bin which she did. I came home to a well looked after animal. Loved the daily updates which was a comfort to me whilst away from home. Would recommend this service to anyone.”
“Jade is a wonderful cat sitter. My cat is quite shy and doesn’t take to new people easily but she did with Jade. I felt very comfortable leaving her in Jade’s care. She sent me photos while I was away which was great. I would highly recommend using her as a pet sitter.”
“Abbie was the best cat sitter for our little ragdoll Snowii, she was excellent at staying in contact, regular pics and videos for reassurance and a lovely person! Our cat was very comfortable with her from day 1! ”

About: Hi, I'm a Hungarian girl living in the UK, working as a software developer for 3 years now. I've always loved cats but my husband and I decided not to have our own for now, because we're travelling too much and sometimes we're away for weeks. I have so much love for these lovely furry creatures and I'd love to help you with taking care of your kitty. As I mostly work from home, I'm quite flexible with my time.
“Giorgina was a great cat sitter and I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again. It was our first time leaving Beni overnight but Giorgina was responsive and kept me posted with pictures, instantly reassuring me that he was ok. She even kept an eye out for a delivery we’d been expecting. We came back to a spotless home and more importantly, happy kitten.”
About: I have extensive experience caring for cats with a wide range of personalities and needs — from independent home-lovers to more adventurous, confident cats. I’ve looked after a cat who works as a model and is used to going on outings, including countryside walks and hikes, so I’m very comfortable adapting care to suit each cat’s unique temperament and routine. I also rescued my own cat and brought her back from Greece, so I understand how important patience, trust-building and calm handling are, especially for sensitive or rescue cats. Whether your cat loves play and stimulation or prefers quiet companionship, I’ll care for them with respect, consistency and genuine affection.
“Ruby was absolutely perfect. I couldn’t be more grateful for how well she looked after my cat! My cat isn’t always the easiest little muffin but Ruby listened to every bit of advice and instruction I gave and really made the whole situation as easy as it could have been! Her home is lovely and the perfect place for a pet to be looked after! Lots of updates with was massively appreciated and I constantly felt reassured that Strudel was doing absolutely fine and was being really well loved and looked after. Thank you so so much!”

“Following a very friendly & informative meet & greet, Charlie looked after my very timid dog yesterday. There were lots of updates, photos & videos throughout the day, where I could immediately see how happy & relaxed my dog was around Charlie & her adorable dog Jenny. Thank you so much Charlie & Jenny, we will hopefully see you both very soon!”
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.
“Izabella was fantastic! She would keep us posted, sen photos, really made our dog feel comfortable and we would definitely book with her again! Highly recommend!”
“We couldn't be happier with the care our dog received. From the very beginning, it was clear that she genuinely loves animals and treats them like her own. We received regular updates, photos, and videos, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Our dog came home happy, relaxed, and clearly very well looked after. We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring dog sitter. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of our Zoe !”
“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 have many years of experience caring for dogs, beginning with my own family dog who was a beloved part of our lives for over 17 years. Since a young age, I have regularly assisted friends and neighbors with their dogs, providing support with feeding, walking, grooming, and general care. I am comfortable and experienced with dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to senior dogs with special needs. My lifelong love for animals, combined with a responsible and compassionate approach, allows me to provide attentive, reliable care tailored to each dog’s individual needs. As a cabin crew member, my work schedule varies each month, but I often have multiple days off that I’d love to dedicate to caring for dogs. I understand how challenging it can be to find a trustworthy and reliable dog sitter, which is why I’m committed to providing attentive, loving care whenever I’m available. Whether it’s dog walking, sitting, or simply keeping your pup company, I’ll do my best to ensure they feel safe, happy, and well looked after. I live in a flat within a secure gated estate. Although I don’t have a private garden, there are several communal green spaces just outside my building where dogs can enjoy their walks and some fresh air. Please let me know if your pet has any special care instructions—I’ll be more than happy to accommodate their needs. I provide regular updates throughout the day, including messages and photos, so you can feel reassured while you’re away. ****For quality and safety, I only care for one dog at a time, ensuring your pup receives my full attention and care.
“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.”

“What a lovely person very warm and friendly. Ellie cared for Teddy as her own was very attentive to his every need he was very happy when welcomed into her family home with some other family members he entered as if he had been there before. Ellie was very accommodating considering we were running late and a late booking hours before hand . We were coming into the area for the day giving our children a day out. Got updates on how Teddy was doing and settling into his day. I can’t recommend Ellie enough very warm loving home felt very welcomed. We will definitely be booking again when in the area. Thank you so much for having Teddy and putting great peace in our minds not having to worry about anything once Teddy was in your care Very experienced.”
“I can't say enough great things about Sayo! He was incredibly accommodating on short notice and even agreed to look after Snoopy for a longer period. Snoopy is still a puppy and hadn't quite figured out how to navigate stairs, but Sayo taught him to go up and down with ease. During his stay, Snoopy made a wonderful friend in Cassie, who is so gentle and sweet. When I picked Snoopy up, he was still happily playing with her! Sayo kept me updated with pictures and videos throughout the day, which was really reassuring. He gave Snoopy so much attention and care. Snoopy had an absolutely fantastic day, and I couldn't be more grateful!”
About: I have grown up around dogs from a young age and have always enjoyed getting outdoors and taking them for walks or having them keep me company at home.

I’m confident with daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, and providing calm, attentive care. Having an 8-year-old dog myself, I understand the needs of adult and senior dogs, including patience, gentle exercise, and sticking to familiar routines. I treat every dog as if they were my own and always focus on their comfort, safety, and well-being. I’m reliable, responsible, and truly enjoy spending time with dogs of different personalities and energy levels. I’m currently not working, which gives me plenty of time and flexibility to care for pets.

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 met with Tobias prior to starting our dog walking journey with him, he was very pleasant and put my mind at ease. My two Italian Spinone’s have had two walks so far, Tobias has given a walk update on each walk, the boys are now looking out of the window for when he arrives. I can’t thank Tobias enough for the help during this period.”

I had dogs and cats at the same time and enjoyed their company and friendship. I have a ginger cat at home. He doesn’t like dogs. That’s why we only keep my little ginger as the family pet.

About: I moved to Brentwood 2 years ago with my partner from my family home, where I have 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 or on Saturdays if you’re in or around the Brentwood area. 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.

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.
About: I have taken care of an array of animals for many years be them my own, family and friends. I have in fact had cats, dogs and rabbits all of which I would call family and strived to give the best lives possible. I am comfortable discussing any specific requests that you may need and to fulfil them to the best of my ability as I know it can be a worry leaving your precious animal with another. If this is your first booking use my referral code for £15 off ☺️ https://www.rover.com/sit/kerryg93361 My son and I love taking long walks so would love a furry companion to join us or to visit and give your pet that TLC whilst you are gone. I do work Monday Tuesday Wednesday and Thursday however I can do drop ins on these days. I do have two cats who are indoors though this will be no issue as I am unfortunately not able to offer an at home service purely not to cause them any distress. Regarding caring for your pets whilst out or at home drop in service I will take the upmost care regarding the needs of your pet and respect your home as I would respect mine. I am very good at following a good list so any nervous pet mums/dads need not worry.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since the age of 10, from friends and families pets, to looking after my own for the last 10 years. I have a hybrid work schedule with flexible working hours so I’m frequently available to look after your furry friends during the week and on weekends :) I have a fenced back garden which offers a very safe space for your pawfect friends to run around if they want to, my house is open plan but cosy enough for them to feel safe and secure! We are a house where dogs are part of the family so the default will be that they can join us for a cuddle on the sofa & on the beds unless the tail waggers owners tell us any different!
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.
About: I've always loved animals and being out in nature, so caring for dogs and going on walks is a perfect match for me. I've helped care for pets for friends and family, including my sister's French Bulldog, and I always make sure animals feel calm, comfortable, safe and well cared for. Going for a walk is already part of my daily routine, so pet care fits naturally into my day. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate time caring for pets. I follow the owner's instructions carefully to maintain the pet's usual routine. I make sure pets feel safe, comfy, and well cared for, giving them attention,walks and playtime while keeping the home clean and respectful.
About: During Covid I was at home 24/7 and looked after multiple dogs, 2 cocker spaniels at once, a French bulldog and a chow chow husky cross so I am used to all sizes and shapes!! I recently was made redundant so I am available 24/7, have one holiday in May when I’m getting married so actively saving up!! I have a fenced garden and would allow pets on furniture because I love a snuggle on the sofa! I live close to large parks so can give nice long walks
About: NEW PET OWNERS GET £15 CREDIT WITH MY ROVER CODE: https://www.rover.com/sit/chenet99079 I’ve had dogs varying in sizes all my life and have also been trusted by other family and friends to look after their own pooches. I’ve also been doing Rover for quite a while now with a range of different dog breeds, temperaments and personalities - just take a look at my gallery of images. I have my own dog, Luna, who is a 2 year old Hungarian Vizsla. For those that know the breed, you would be fully aware how demanding and high energy they can be. I’ve gone through it all with her so nothing will intimidate me! More importantly, I know how important it is to feel confident in the person looking after your baby and to be reassured that they will keep your dog safe, be looked after and loved while away from your home. I have tons of training knowledge I’ve learnt from an extensive handover from Platinum K9 in Nottingham who I used to help jump start Luna’s training and therefore will ensure your dog is learning positive behaviours while in my care. Luna is so loving and playful, & enjoys her daily forest runarounds. When we back home, it’s a calm and relaxed environment. She would love to have another friend along for the adventures. We have plenty of dog toys and beds to choose from as well as a crate if your dog prefers their own space. All we need is their food and any treats. Dogs are allowed on our sofa and beds unless you want us to restrict this. Dog owners are kept in the loop throughout the day with nice photographs - see my gallery of photos for an idea! Just drop me a message to discuss! Very flexible to discuss the care needed. There will always be constant supervision and your dog will not be left alone and you will be kept up to date throughout the stay Each dog is unique and therefore what we do and how we do it will vary. We thoroughly enjoy a long walk in the forest (on or off lead depending on your comfort levels and your dogs recall) or a stroll around big fields for the dogs to play around. Your dog will be walked as little or as much as you suggest to be suitable for them. I always carry treats and water with me to ensure they are happy on their walk. My Hungarian Vizsla will offer plenty of play time and I will offer suitable training in addition to this if preferred. Equally, we love our downtime, so it goes without saying that there will be plenty of cuddles and a relaxed environment in the home. I am happy to follow any specific routines and commands you use with your dog to ensure they are still following as much of their usual routine as possible. I will also keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you never feel too far away from your pooch!
About: I feel I understand dogs and their specific needs. I would care for your dog as an individual and make sure they were in the best environment possible. I have a lot of experience with dogs, having been a dog walker for over 5 years. I also have my dog first aid certificate. I love dogs and have always had rescue dogs. One from Texas and now a rescue from Romania. They bring their own challenges as they're nervous. So if you do have a nervous or reactive dog I do understand their needs. I have good availability and would be able to do most times. Morning afternoon and evenings are fine. So if you need someone to fill in last minute I'd be happy to as I know the stress myself of leaving my dog alone. I've recently looked after an elderly cat and 3 dogs whilst their owners were away on holiday. I really appreciate how they're a member of the family so provided constant updates and photos.

About: Hi! I’m 22 years old and have been around animals my entire life. I have looked after big breeds like bullmastiffs and cats regularly, so I’m very comfortable with both large dogs and the individual routines and loveable quirks of cats! In the past, I’ve also owned and cared for rabbits and bearded dragons which has given me experience with a wide range of temperaments and care needs. As a masters student, I attend university only twice a week, so aside from my lectures, I can dedicate all my time to caring for your pet. If your dog is sociable, I can arrange safe introductions with friendly pets of my neighbours or nearby family members. If your pet prefers a quieter environment, they’ll have my flat to themselves, ensuring they never feel overwhelmed. I’m available for boarding any day of the week and on Mondays and Wednesdays before 11am and after 4pm for drop ins or visits! Your dogs safety and comfort are my top priority. My flat has a secure balcony with high fencing, providing safe ventilation if your dog needs fresh air while I step out briefly. I have a crate suitable for all sizes, including large breeds like a bullmastiff, so your dog can rest securely when needed. For exercise and outdoor fun, I live next to a beautiful countryside field with a lake, perfect for safe, scenic walks. Every aspect of their environment is designed to keep them happy, secure and cared for.
“Rocky had the best day with Jennifer. He was very well looked after and he kept on running back to her when I picked him up, which is unlike him as he can take a long time to get used to someone. She kept me updated the whole day with photos and videos, which was lovely.”
“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”
“Jane was very communicative the whole way through, really lovely to talk to and left me feeling very happy about leaving our precious dogs with her. They have come home relaxed and happy, walked and so well looked after. Thank you Jane.”
“This was my first time reaching out to a dog sitter, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! She was so welcoming, approachable, and made me feel instantly at ease. My dog, Sai, felt calm and comfortable in her home, which says a lot. She kept me updated regularly with messages and photos, which gave me great peace of mind. It’s clear she genuinely cares for dogs and treats them as her own. I’ll definitely be recommending her to others and will absolutely be booking with her again!”
“Elisa was fantastic. We trusted her with our beloved Twix whilst we were away on holiday. She sent regular updates and pictures. We could tell from the pictures Twix was having a great time and being looked after. Daily walks and plenty of activity with Elsie’s own dog. We’re really pleased we went with Elisa and the service she’s provided. Would recommend and use again.”
“My dog had a fantastic time with Chené. She kept me up to date with the loveliest photos and was easy to contact. Chené was helpful from the first message and was keen to keep commands and routines consistent. I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again.”
About: What sets me apart is my calm, caring approach and genuine love for dogs of all ages and personalities. I’ve had dogs my whole life, including a Staffie, Old English Bulldog, and Frenchie, and I’ve also cared for a German Shepherd and other family dogs. I’m currently caring for a Cockapoo puppy, so I’m very familiar with puppy routines, basic training, and lots of playtime and patience! I also have experience with senior dogs who may need extra gentle care or medication support. I’m reliable, attentive, and treat every dog as if they were my own—making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I work from home on Wednesdays and Fridays, so I can give dogs plenty of attention and company on those days, and I’m flexible the rest of the week to fit your dog’s routine. I always aim to keep things consistent, calm, and stress-free for every pet. At my home, I have a large fenced garden that’s perfect for safe playtime and throwing a ball, so dogs can burn off energy in a secure space. I always make sure pets feel safe, happy, and cared for—just like part of the family.
“Jana was incredibly easy to communicate with - responsive, friendly and very helpful. She looked after our older, blind dog extremely conscientiously and kindly. She sent us regular updates and was super happy to be flexible around us. Highly recommended! Thanks, Jana”
“Siu Yung and her family were absolutely wonderful with Orbit. We had a pre visit beforehand and I knew instantly that she would be well cared for. We were kept so well updated throughout her stay with messages, photos, and little details about walks, meals, and how she was settling in. It genuinely felt like Orbit was part of their family rather than just being looked after. She had lovely walks, lots of attention, and a calm, caring home environment. We came back to a happy, relaxed dog, which says everything. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to book with Siu Yung again and would highly recommend them for anyone looking for home Boarding!”
About: I have many years of experience in caring for dogs both through having my own dogs and regularly caring for those of friends and families. My house is really welcoming to other dogs and a safe place for them to come and stay. My labrador Alba is as chilled as they come and we enjoy some lovely daily walks in the surrounding area. Recently semi retired so primarily based at home. Will get out for a walk every day and love to interact with dogs throughout too. All people living in house are dog lovers. I have a fenced garden and a super friendly 9 year old lab for added companionship. I enjoy getting out daily for walks. The house is a busy one with 3 teenage children, all who have been brought up around dogs.
“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: Myself and wife were both brought up owning dogs. The kids haven’t had pets, but they are they are well behaved kids, very excited to help out My wife and I are both shift workers.

“Kimberly was super responsive from the start and very accommodating with dates and times. Oschi had a great time. Kim sent lots of photos and videos showing Oschi happy and getting along with the other dogs. Thank you so much to Kim and her partner!”
“Maria and her husband did an amazing job looking after Molly. Molly was made to feel at home and got multiple walks. Updates very plentiful throughout the day and I would highly recommend Maria for pet sitting!”
“What a lovely family! Nicola and Kerry were incredibly nice from the moment I met them - they reassured me and made me feel at ease leaving my dog with them. They’ve sent regular updates, were flexible in terms of pick up and drop off and Benji came home VERY tired! Which is a good sign! I will definitely be booking a stay with them again. Thank you both!! I really appreciate your help!”
“Wow, what can I say about Amanda, her lovely home, and her amazing hospitality! This was the first time I’d ever left Marlo with someone who wasn’t family, and I honestly didn’t feel nervous at all. He stayed with her for 7 days, and she kept me updated throughout my holiday with pictures and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. Marlowe has allergies and follows a strict raw diet, which Amanda was more than happy to accommodate. She even got him some suitable treats, which was such a thoughtful touch. He absolutely loved playing with her children’s dogs and was genuinely sad when they left; it felt like he was on holiday too! In fact, he seemed so happy there that I think he was a little disappointed to come home. I’ve already booked him in with Amanda again next month for an even longer stay, which says everything. I think I’ve found my forever dog sitter! 💗 Thank you again, Amanda!! Marlowe can’t wait to come back! 🐾”
