“We were very apprehensive about leaving Max as this was the first time , Mat put us at ease straight away. Whilst we were away we had regular updates and pictures which was fantastic and put us straight as ease, and meant we could enjoy our holiday knowing max was being well taken care of.

I would highly recommend Mat and we will definitely be using his services again.”

About: I grew up in a dog-loving home with an Irish Red Setter rescue and a Doberman we raised from a puppy, so I'm no stranger to big dogs with big personalities. Over the years, I've cared for pups of all sizes, breeds, and ages - from energetic puppies to sweet senior dogs. Whether your dog loves long walks, belly rubs, or just someone to keep them company, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, loved, and totally spoiled while you're away. A recent move means I am now taking on new clients in and around Norwich. Please see my reviews and reach out for a chat if I can help to care for your pup! I’m working from home, with plenty of gaps in between for toilet breaks and walks in the park - I like to get away from my desk when I can and would love for your dog to join me. I’ve been house sitting for a number of years, both through Rover (please check my reviews) and word of mouth from my existing clients. I will care for your home as if it is my own. I am happy to discuss carrying out tasks unrelated to your pup, too.

I’m calm, reliable and affectionate, and I understand how important it is to know your dog is happy, safe and well cared for while you’re away. I love getting outdoors for walks, but I’m equally happy keeping an older or quieter dog company at home. I’ll always follow your dog’s usual routine and give them plenty of attention, cuddles and reassurance — treating them just as I would my own. I work from home so have plenty of time to look after your pet and take them for walks or trips out. Or they can lounge on the sofa!

Pets stay with me at all times. Occasionally I can sit at your house but usually it’s easier at mine and I have a lot of space.
About: Hi, I’m Abigail! 🐾 After six years in the emergency services, I decided to give up the uniform and follow my passion for dogs, the outdoors, and providing a safe, trustworthy service for pet owners. I provide a calm, secure, and welcoming home where your dog will feel completely at ease. Your dog/s will have constant care, attention, and plenty of affection throughout their stay. I’m home full-time, so your dog’s routine, safety, and happiness are always my priority. I have a large, fully secure garden with 7ft fencing and a locked gate, giving dogs plenty of space to play, explore, and enjoy themselves safely. I share my home with my friendly Irish Setter, Rory, who is gentle, playful, and great with other dogs. He loves company and helps create a relaxed, social environment for visiting dogs. I have extensive experience caring for dogs of all ages — from young puppies to senior dogs — and I’m confident supporting different needs, routines, and personalities. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or prefers a quieter, slower pace, I will adapt to them. I come from a professional background where trust, responsibility, and safety were essential, and I bring that same level of care and attention into looking after every dog. 🐾 What you can expect: * A home-from-home environment * Dogs are never left alone * Secure garden for safe outdoor time * Walks tailored to your dog (on or off lead) * Regular updates, photos, and communication * Flexible and attentive care to suit your dog’s routine I’m very mindful that every dog is different, so I will always follow your instructions closely — from feeding and walking to sleep routines and preferences.

We’re home seven days a week, so your dog will never be left alone. 🏡 A safe, secure, and relaxed environment My home is spacious and set up to give dogs a calm, safe place to settle in and feel comfortable. The garden is fully secure with 7ft fencing and a locked gate, so dogs can enjoy outdoor time safely. I live on a quiet, secluded street away from main roads, creating a peaceful environment that’s ideal for dogs of all temperaments. The garden is a great size for all breeds, with plenty of room to play, explore, and enjoy a good run around. Large patio doors open directly onto the garden, allowing dogs to move freely between inside and outside when appropriate. They can also be closed to create a calm, cosy space for rest and nap times. Inside, the home is open-plan with plenty of room to relax, along with soft furnishings and lots of toys to keep dogs happy and entertained. For added safety, all human food is kept well out of reach, so you can feel confident your dog is in a secure and carefully managed environment.

About: I’ve always loved and cared for dogs. As they say I would rather a dog in my company than a human 😉 I will give your dog the love and care it deserves with plenty of belly rubs I recently left my mundane 9-5 job so I can spend more time looking after other people’s fur babies. It’s been my passion for years so eventually made the decision to make it my full time job. Who wouldn’t happy doing this 🐶 I have a fully enclosed garden with plenty of room for play or a relaxed area for rest. No dog ever leaves here sad 😄

“We were very apprehensive about leaving Max as this was the first time , Mat put us at ease straight away. Whilst we were away we had regular updates and pictures which was fantastic and put us straight as ease, and meant we could enjoy our holiday knowing max was being well taken care of. Max had a lovely week with Mat and his family, it was hot in the uk whilst we were away and all efforts where made to keep max nice and comfortable. I would highly recommend Mat and we will definitely be using his services again.”

I can tell they really care about the dogs they look after: Lacey was so well looked after the whole time. I especially loved the daily updates with photos and videos, which made it easy to relax knowing she was happy and having fun. I would highly recommend Izzy and Dan to anyone looking for trustworthy, caring dog sitters. Thank you both!”

Can't recommend enough!”
“Teilo was immediately comfortable with Trudi, who was welcoming and reassuring. She is experienced and calm, and very easy with Teilo as he navigated their house and rushed straight into the garden to find a squeaky ball! He had everything he needed in his stay, long walks off lead, affection, play and security. I got lots of photos and good communication. I can definitely recommend Trudi and will be booking her again soon!”

About: I'm currently a university student missing her dog back at home who I've been caring for him since he was a puppy. Even before that I have always had love for dogs and all other furry animals. I have lots of experience with various dogs and pets as I have been petsitting and dog walking for friends for several years now. With my dog, I take a special interest in his veterinary care and I'm comfortable with administering medication as I have had to manage this for two years now. I am currently a student and only work part time, so I am flexible and have much time to really take an interest in your pet for long walks, pet sitting in the day and occasional overnight petsitting! I will be happy to look after your furry friend in the pet owner's home. I can make sure your dog is happy and comfortable by ensuring they are well-fed and enriched with walks and play as well as continuing training if its needed.
