“Fantastic We were really worried about leaving Brodie for a couple of days but were put at ease straightaway! We were updated with pictures and text he seemed to be having the the best time and we would not hesitate to use Liudmyla again!”
“Jeeves loved his time with Joanne and family. He was taken on lots of exciting walks as well as having a big garden to explore. We were kept updated throughout his whole stay and were able to relax on our holiday knowing Jeeves was well looked after!”
“Chloe and her family took excellent care of Layla who had a wonderful time! Lots of long walks and cuddles, I know she settled in happily. Thank you for all the photo updates too. Will definitely rebook.”
“Cannot imagine any family or friend I would trust with taking care of my dog, with the same peace of mind when she stays at Lauren and Matt’s place. Although we’ve become friends at this point. Thanks again guys!”
About: I had my own dog for over 16 years, he is still very much missed, and now I borrow other people’s. I currently dog sit a miniature Schnauzer in term time. Plus I have recently been given a black Labrador, Barney, he is very good with other dogs and would normally come with me when house sitting. I am available for pet care seven days per week and have my own transport. I am newly retired and can spend all of my time caring for pets. I have an enclosed rear garden and live in a village location with plenty of varied country walks on my doorstep. I have my own dog, who is very friendly.
“Sarah took really good care of Joey, he was really happy when i saw him and full of energy, he’s also been a lot calmer since he’s come back and can’t thank her enough for looking after him as I know he can be a handful”
“Had absolute trust that casper would be looked after, we had regular updates of him out walking and chilling in the house :) would highly reccommend millie to anyone needing a reliable per sitter.....excellent service !!”
“Many thanks for having Floyd join your lovely family. He looked so well when I picked him up. Thank you for all the photos too so lovely when you are away from your pets. Very happy to use you again if that’s ok and would definitely recommend you to others. Thanks xx again your family are lovely 🥰”
“Outstanding sitters! Jasmin and Ted were absolute lifesavers when we had a last-minute three-night hospital stay for the birth of our baby. They welcomed our cockapoo, Eddie, with open arms and treated him like royalty. Their flexibility and kindness took a huge weight off our minds. We got lots of updates and photos of a very happy dog. We came home to a relaxed Eddie, which is the best sign of a wonderful stay. Cannot recommend and thank them highly enough!”
“Sonia C. looked after my dog, Wicket, over the Christmas period from the 17th to the 2nd and did a fantastic job. She was reliable, caring, and made sure Wicket was well looked after while I was away, which gave me real peace of mind. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive dog sitter, and I will definitely be using her again in the future.”
“Ted has another great stay with Alessia. Hes always very excited to see her and loves spending time with her. We always have regular updates and pictures on what Ted’s been up to and highly recommend Alessia.”
“Lisa & Alex were absolutely fantastic with Wilf! He is a big excitable puppy who doesn’t really know his size & seems to have endless energy! But we got so many photos & videos of him having the best time. We were a little nervous to leave him but we’re out at ease with a photo of him sleeping soundly not long after we left him! Lisa & Alex’s place was really a home away from home. Thank you so much.”
“I cannot recommend Lisa highly enough, she went above and beyond to make Charlie feel welcome, settled and part of the family. Lisa kept in regular contact sharing updates of Charlie’s adventures. I will be sure to use Lisa’s services again - thank you Lisa and family! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
About: Neil and I are passionate animal lovers offering a calm, loving environment for dog boarding. We cared for our Beagle for 12 wonderful years before she sadly passed away due to illness, which gave me valuable experience with dog care, routines, and companionship. We’ve also looked after family dogs including Cockapoos and Labradors, and regularly care for our neighbours’ cats and dogs while they are away on holiday. Since we’re not quite ready for another dog of our own yet, Rover feels like the perfect way to continue sharing our home and care with dogs. I work from home full-time, and Neil predominantly works from home as well, so there will almost always be one or both of us at home with any boarded dogs throughout their stay. We have a large living area with patio doors leading to a secure, fenced grass garden that dogs can enjoy all year round. Because we work from home, we’re able to give dogs plenty of attention, companionship, and regular toilet breaks throughout the day. We can also take dogs out for walks during breaks, lunch, and in the evenings, so it’s very normal for dogs staying with us to enjoy up to three walks a day depending on their needs and routine. We’re also happy to adapt to older dogs or those who prefer a slower pace and quieter routine. Neil and I provide a safe, calm, and loving home environment where dogs are treated like part of the family. As one or both of us work from home most days, dogs are rarely left alone and receive plenty of attention, regular walks, playtime, and care throughout their stay. We have a secure fenced grass garden and always follow each owner’s routines and preferences carefully, including feeding, walks, medication, and any special requirements. We’re also happy to provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind while owners are away.
“Corinne did a fantastic job watching Poppy. She gave frequent and detailed updates with pictures and videos. I could tell that Poppy was being cared for well and that Corinne was attentive to her needs. Thank you so much for watching our lil Poppy 😊”
“Billy & Paige are very caring and kind. I was provided with lots of “pupdates” throughout Barnaby’s stay. I loved seeing the pictures and messages. Would highly recommend!”
“Wendy is a fantastic sitter. My puppy loves being here for day care and boarding. My puppy stayed overnight for the first time and even though she was anxious Wendy was brilliant with her.”

“Caroline clearly loves cats. While we were away she kept in touch with us every day with photos and updates. She befriended our cats so well and we were thrilled with her care and support. I would highly recommend her. ”
About: Hi, I'm Natalie (aka the cat lady 🤣🤣) I have over 30 years experience with cats, and currently have five rescue cats of my own. I volunteer at stray cat rescue in toddington every Wednesday and am also a volunteer for cats protection. Ive worked with every type of cat under the sun which I absolutely adore, and am confident with all different personality types ❤️❤️
“Jessica was fab. Came to meet our two cats before looking after them. She was obviously experienced and knowledgeable. She also sent lots of great pictures throughout and we found her easy to communicate with and she was very reliable. Would definitely have Jessica look after our cats again and would highly recommend her to others.”
About: I've been living with dogs and cats for almost all my life and growing up with them taught me what a real best friend is. I became a volunteer in my country in a pet house and I took care of lots of homeless dogs and cats... between puppies and adults.. and the ones pregnant too! My house was their house.. that's why I ended up adopting 7 dogs and 10 cats... with one of my dog I attended lessons at the dogs education school where I improved my knowledge about their behaviour, their fears, how to behave with them, as well as how to teach them common commands like sit down, give me five, or lay down, stay, walk by my side etc.. Being a volunteer as well was helpful to get better with the different type of food depending on their size, age , hair or special needs, lots of different medicine, but especially spending time with them I realised how much they can give to us.. together we play, we sleep, we go to the beach or for a walk.. together we spend special time, and time is the most beautiful gift you can give. Since I moved to UK, I've been missing my pets each day.. I'd be grateful to spend time with yours.. you won't regret!
“Martyna was an excellent sitter and the whole experience was wonderful from beginning to end. Martyna is so thoughtful and kind with both us as cat parents and also to our furbaby. We would be delighted to recommend to all and hope we can meet again in the future. Thanks so much. ”
“Samira was very good that me and my partner agreed to have her additional service hour. She’s very responsive, does some cleaning on the final day and takes care of our pet very well.”
“We came home to a very happy cat who had been reliably fed, played with, and kept company while we were away. Jamie is a great sitter who takes care to make sure the animals he looks after are interacted with as well as having their basic needs met. This was really important to us at this time of year so that we wouldn't come home to any mess caused by a bored cat!! Thanks Jamie, we appreciate it.”
“Kate is such a wonderful person. She is really kind and showed so much interest in our cat. She made sure he was fed, happy and had lots of water. She sent lovely pictures so we could see how he was getting on. She even tidied up when she left! Thank you Kate!!! We highly recommend”
“Georgina is amazing; this is my second booking with her; she took care of my three cats (one older and two kittens); all three were very well taken care of and I knew how they were daily as she was sending me daily pictures; great communication throughout the whole time while I was away.”
About: ive owned multiple dogs for over 10 years and at times i had 5 dogs living at my home so ive had plenty of experience handling and looking after multiple dogs of all sizes. i currently have 2 cocker spaniels and a yorkshire terrier but ive also had a large labradoodle in the past. ive also had experience in dog training in which i learnt under a top dog trainer and was shown various techniques in the dog training field. ive got past experience dog sitting for friends and family who have had their full trust in me to care for their pets. im usually available most evenings during the week and also most weekends as i work full time monday to friday. i can stay overnight most days i have experience with all types of dogs and understand that all dogs have different needs. for example i used to have a dog who couldnt go off lead due to him not coming back, so i bought a long lead which i could grab when i needed him to come back
About: I have plenty of cat care experience, mostly learnt over my time working at the national animal welfare trust. This invloved working with strays and boarding cats, including grooming, weighing, health checks, medication administering, specialised diets and many more. This allowed me to learn how to deal with all types of cat temperament. I also fostered a senior cat, Daisy, who sadly passed away March of 2025 from many health issues. Although, she had a comfortable, loving end to her life, surrounded by loved ones instead of a cattery.
“Isabella was friendly and accommodating. She took good care of our two fur babies whilst we were away for 2 nights. She gave us regular updates and kindly tidied up too. Would definitely recommend Isabella for her services.”
“Isabel is amazing, I would recommend her to anyone who loves their pet. We were fully confident when we left for a holiday abroad. We had daily updates and photos, I didn’t ask her to, but she took our dog out for walks and thoroughly spoilt him! She even cuddled the tortoises, they were not part of the contract! Now we are back I think Sparkey the dog misses her, she has spoilt him. House was secure and all instructions were adhered too. Thank you Isabel.”
“I can’t recommend lisa and Alex enough. They stayed in our home for 2 weeks and our pets and house were so well looked after. They sent sent daily photos which often showed my fur babies stretched out on top of lisa giving cuddles, showing how much they had bonded. The house was well looked after and we came back to a clean well kept home. As soon as we met them they made us feel confident about their experience and love of animals. I would definitely recommend them to look after your pets and home.”

Im an honest reliable person who just want the best for your pets.
“Once again, absolutely perfect. We're very apologetic about the dead bird but the picture of Riff Raff with his catch was adorable; he looked so proud! Jessica will be our first choice for any more cat sitting.”
“Ellie-Mai was absolutely amazing from start to finish. As this was my first time leaving Ninja with a sitter, I was naturally a little nervous, but Ellie-Mai put my mind at ease straight away. She was friendly, reliable, communicative and clearly cared about Ninja's wellbeing. I received updates while I was away and came home to a happy, relaxed cat and a well-looked-after home. Ninja clearly loved having her around, and it was such a comfort knowing he was safe, fed, cared for and had company while I was away. I genuinely couldn't have asked for a better experience. I will 100% use Ellie-Mai again in the future and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring and professional pet sitter. Thank you so much, Ellie-Mai, you were fantastic, and Ninja and I are both very grateful! 😊🐱⭐”
About: I have had a cat myself (indoor) and looked after 16 in the same household including 2 sphynx that all required there own personal care. Ive also sat for a friends very old cat (26) I get along very well with cats and respect their needs and wants
“Maya was fantastic, caring for Ebony and our new kitten Nico so well whilst we were away. It made us feel so at ease receiving regular updates and knowing a warm kind person was taking care of them. She regularly cleaned the litter trays, played with them lots and the house was prestine. We highly recommend Maya and will be booking her again soon. ”

About: Sadly we lost our boy a year ago, so since then we have been looking after lots of doggies to get our fix of walks and cuddles. We both grew up with dogs and brought our children up to be dog lovers. We love taking our borrowed pets for lots of walks over the fields and playing with them in our garden. I have put 15 years of experience in my profile to reflect how long we have owned a dog together in this house. 45 years of dog loving makes me look far too old! We have been actively dog sitting since Harry died a year ago. My husband and I are both home all day so we can give your dog our full attention at all times. Occasionally our children may be home from university (one of whom is training to be a vet) and both girls love being around dogs, and always have lots of cuddles to give. We had a dog for 15 years until recently and understand the need for a dog safe house and garden. Our house is open plan so dogs often come up to our room to sleep at night, but they could be shut into our hallway if you would prefer. We are surrounded by fields so long country walks are a pleasure.
“Toby settled in really well. Was apprehensive to leave him as he is still quite young but Chloe made him feel at home. She provided me with regular updates on the two days I booked with snaps of my little boy whilst I was at work. Very happy and would leave Toby again ❤️”
“Delighted we could leave our special baby girl, Mabel, with Myla. Beautiful house in lovely area. Mabel was very happy to be left, so off we went. Collected Mabel a little early, but that wasn’t a problem for Myla. Mabel got on well with the other dog (a huge long haired golden Labrador who was very friendly) there and Myla is very easy to talk to and friendly. Will definitely use Myla next time we are in the area. Thanks so much.”

“Lovely family, you know your dog will be well looked after and you'll be communicated with throughout. Really helped us out when we had to find a sitter last minute. Thank you for taking such good care of our pup. Look forward to booking with you again in the future”
“Millie-Jo looked after my needy dog all day, took him for an amazing walk and was so calm and kind, provided wonderful updates with pictures. Also made sure he got the rest he needs which can be difficult as he gets overstimulated. She's one of those people with a natural understanding of dogs, couldn't have asked for better care for the hound.”
“I’m new to owning a puppy and Wendy has looked after Maggie on many occasions and with her help I’ve survived the first few months with a puppy. Wendy has helped socialise her and train her but most of all Maggie loves going here. Wendy is an excellent sitter and I highly recommend her.”
“Stephanie is just brilliant Was very nervous about leaving coco as she can be very picky who looks after her Stephanie was brilliant , allowed coco to find herself and by end of day 1 was settled and relaxed Would definitely recommend and will book again”
“Lisa and her family were absolutely amazing with Mila - I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the moment I dropped her off, I felt completely at ease knowing she was in such caring, attentive hands. It’s so clear how much love they have for dogs, and Mila was treated like part of the family the entire time. I got updates throughout the day which was so reassuring, and she came back happy, relaxed, and clearly very well looked after. It means everything to know she was not only safe but genuinely enjoying herself. I would 100% love for Mila to stay with Lisa and her family again in the future – they were brilliant in every way. Highly, highly recommend! She loves her new toys too 🐾”
“Pepe had an amazing time with you guys, he was truly worn out and so tired when he got home, I was kept in contact with all day and felt reassured my pet was fed, well, safe and happy. Will definitely be using these guys again ! So so pleased with the care he has received.”

About: Hello! I'm Shira, a reliable and caring dog walker and pet sitter based in Luton. I know how important it is to leave your dog with someone you can genuinely trust, and my aim is to provide a safe, calm and loving environment where every dog feels relaxed, happy and well cared for. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life. I share my home with my two friendly dogs, Boobik and Moochi, who have taught me that every dog has their own personality, routine and needs. I also have a friendly cat, so I only accept dogs that are comfortable around cats. I offer dog walking, home boarding, day care and a pet taxi service for small and medium-sized dogs. To give every dog the attention they deserve, I keep my walking groups small and only accept friendly dogs. Your dog's safety and wellbeing always come first. I am DBS checked, fully insured, and Pet First Aid & CPR certified, giving you complete peace of mind while your dog is in my care. During every booking I'll send regular photo and video updates, so you'll always know how your dog is getting on. My home is calm, secure and smoke free, with a fully enclosed garden where dogs can safely play, relax and feel at home. Whether you need regular weekday walks, day care while you're at work, home boarding during holidays, or temporary help while recovering from surgery or illness, I'd be delighted to help. I understand that every family is different, so I provide flexible, reliable care tailored to your dog's individual needs. I offer a free Meet & Greet before every first booking so we can get to know each other, answer any questions and make sure we're the right fit. Building trust is important to me, and I want both you and your dog to feel completely comfortable before any booking begins. I look forward to meeting you and welcoming your dog into my care. Pet care is part of my daily routine, as I already walk my own dogs every day. I organise my schedule around structured weekday walks, allowing me to provide reliable and consistent care for every dog. I focus on small, well-managed walking groups so each dog receives proper attention, exercise, and a calm walking environment. My services cover the LU2 and LU3 areas in Luton, and I offer a free meet and greet before starting regular walks so owners and dogs can feel comfortable and confident. Your dog’s safety and wellbeing are always my priority. I keep walking groups small so I can properly supervise every dog and ensure calm and controlled walks. I only accept friendly small and medium dogs that are comfortable walking with others. I am fully insured and Pet First Aid certified. I take time to understand each dog’s personality and needs, and I always prioritise safe handling, positive interactions and a relaxed walking environment

“Florence is a delightful person who shows such passion for my dogs. I felt so reassured by her loving careful attitude to my pups. They had a lovely walk with her other dogs and they came home full of beans and slept all afternoon. I would highly recommend Florence I felt my dogs were well looked after and safe at all times.”
About: I have had dogs at home for most of my life. From the big ones like German Shepherds to the very small ones like Yorkshire Terrier. My friends and family always rely on me to look after their pets when they go away. We have a daughter and a toddler boy who are both dog and cat lovers. They are super curious and gently with all the animals they interact with. My partner Chris has lived with dogs and cats (fish and hamsters) throughout his life and is avid about animals in general. Please be assured that we will love and care for your dog and / or cat as if it were our own. I work from home most days and Chris works from home a few days of the week as well, so I would probably be the one taking your dog out for a walk during the day or able to visit your home to check on your pets. We don’t have any set commitments most weekends and may be available at short notice if needed. We live in a good sized house with a fenced garden in Flitwick. We enjoy taking the dogs for walks in the park. If your pet requires a certain diet or medication regularly we can handle this as we have past and current experiences with our own pets and that of family and friends. I am working from home most days and Chris works from home a few days a week. Our daily routine would normally be playing with the dogs and kids in the garden and also taking them for a walk. I have a closed fenced garden and I also prefer keeping them on the lead when walking on the street or walking in the park.

About: We have a family pet called Nellie who is a 5 year old cockatoo. I also have a 6 year old socially anxious rescue cat and newly taken on a small kitten. I have experience with most house pets and always love to give fuss and play. I currently work as a teacher so have weekend availability as well as all school holidays. I’m happy to do any evenings and stay in homes when needed. My own pets consist of cats who both have different relationships with me. They respond to their names and understand clear boundaries. They both have options to play and remain separated and feel safe to walk away without being followed. They’re both very chirpy and affectionate and love a good cuddle
“Kate arrived 10 minutes early which suited me perfectly as I was behind on my schedule as usual! Kate was polite & pip took to her immediately, I left my key with Kate as I had to shoot off! Kate left pip happily at home with my key left where discussed ready for me when I arrived home, excellent service! 👌🏼”

“I feel lucky to have found Hope on Rover. She’s a new walker for Bonzo, but Hope put my mind at ease straight away. She was friendly, professional, and clearly great with dogs. She kept me updated with photos throughout the walk, which was really reassuring, and Bonzo came back happy and well exercised after a good-length walk. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Hope to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker! Bonzo didn’t want to come home after !”
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by animals and have cared for two cats my whole life, so I understand just how much they mean to you. I am also currently working at a doggy day care centre locally and doing an apprenticeship along side it. Along with my lifelong cat experience, I’ve also looked after dogs for family and friends of all sizes and personalities — from playful pups to older, more relaxed dogs. I’m patient, reliable, and make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. What sets me apart is the personal care I give — I treat every pet as if they were my own, paying attention to their routines, comfort, and little quirks that make them who they are. Whether it’s extra cuddles, calm company, or energetic playtime, I’ll make sure your pet is happy and cared for like family. I’m currently working part time and would like to fill up my spare time looking after what I love most. I also would love to develop a career working with animals in the future so I think this would be a great start When I’m caring for pets in their own home, I always make sure they feel safe and relaxed in their familiar environment. I follow each owner’s routine closely — from feeding times to walk schedules and bedtime habits — so your pet’s day feels just like normal. I keep homes tidy, secure, and always respect your space as if it were my own. I also send regular photo and message updates, so you can have total peace of mind knowing your pet (and home) are in good hands.
About: I’ve looked after a few dogs I have also used to foster dogs and every single one of them have brought a smile on my face each day My special skill is being patient whilst training they will always get their in the end no matter how long it will take to get where your fluffy friend want to be I used to have a black lab since he was a puppy it was quite challenging at first when he wanted to chew everything in the house I would always try keeping him distracted like putting treats in chewy toys spent a lot of time outside playing and telling him no when he tried to and praised him when he had listened I am currently not at work as I have been struggling with my mental health and pets always bring the light back I don’t currently have any pets so it’s a struggle to be in a schedule but most of the time I am always at home and sometimes my neighbors cat comes and visits me I am always free I live in a flat and share a garden with my neighbor who lives downstairs however the garden is split into 2 and fenced so we have our own space When I used to foster dogs I would go for about 20 to 30 min walk in the mornings and about an hour in the afternoon/evening time I would also play with them a lot of the times if they haven’t gotten all their energy out during the walks
About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life. Alongside my career as a cardiac physiologist, I've spent years caring for dogs and volunteering with European rescue and adoption organisations, it's a passion I simply can't imagine living without. That time with rescue dogs gave me a deep sensitivity to animals of all backgrounds, especially those who need a little extra patience to feel safe and loved. Every dog I care for gets treated like family. That's just who I am. Pet care is woven into my daily routine, not squeezed into it. I'm an early riser, so morning walks and visits are never rushed. Your pet gets my full attention, every time. Before anything, I take time to understand your pet's routine, personality and needs. During walks I stay fully attentive, no distractions, no rushing. For visits and house sits I follow your routine closely, because familiarity is what keeps pets calm and settled. I drive and walk depending on location, keep you updated with photos and messages, and always leave your home exactly as I found it.
About: I’ve had a passion for animal from a very young age, since then I have completed an extended diploma in animal management, a certificate in veterinary care support and have qualified as a registered veterinary nurse. I take responsibilities taking care of my own pets and I know how their welfare is upmost importance . As a vet nurse I’m trained and can confidently give first aid treatment and administer topical/oral/subcutaneous medications. Im currently working full time as a veterinary nurse I have the most available at the weekend and during the end of the week however I can be flexible to suit your needs. I will follow strict instructions under your order, from owning pets myself I know how important keeping to routine can be to make sure your animal is comfortable during my stay. Im an honest reliable person who just want the best for your pets.
“Ameera did an amazing job walking our Maltese Terrier at short notice. She arrived on time and gave him a long walk taking pictures and notes along the way. She comes highly recommended and I look forward to using her again sometime 👌🏾❤️”
About: I’ve always had a dog in my home for as long as I can remember so have a true love of them, I have taken care of other dogs since the age of 15 including boarding and simple drop by. I am also training to be a vet at university and have other qualifications in animal care and welfare that I studied prior and during university I am currently at university however am looking for summer work mostly around July-August perfect for those going on holiday for the school summer holidays I used to take my dog out at least once a day if not twice, her feeding routine was twice a day and this has been similar to most dogs I have taken care of, some dogs need more exercise then others and that I will take into consideration. I often wake up early and let my animals out to the toilet at this time. Routine varied depending upon the household so I am more then happy to take into consideration the routine normally set by owners such as yourself :)

“Jeeves loved his time with Joanne and family. He was taken on lots of exciting walks as well as having a big garden to explore. We were kept updated throughout his whole stay and were able to relax on our holiday knowing Jeeves was well looked after!”
“Chloe and her family took excellent care of Layla who had a wonderful time! Lots of long walks and cuddles, I know she settled in happily. Thank you for all the photo updates too. Will definitely rebook.”
“Cannot imagine any family or friend I would trust with taking care of my dog, with the same peace of mind when she stays at Lauren and Matt’s place. Although we’ve become friends at this point. Thanks again guys!”
About: I had my own dog for over 16 years, he is still very much missed, and now I borrow other people’s. I currently dog sit a miniature Schnauzer in term time. Plus I have recently been given a black Labrador, Barney, he is very good with other dogs and would normally come with me when house sitting. I am available for pet care seven days per week and have my own transport. I am newly retired and can spend all of my time caring for pets. I have an enclosed rear garden and live in a village location with plenty of varied country walks on my doorstep. I have my own dog, who is very friendly.
“Had absolute trust that casper would be looked after, we had regular updates of him out walking and chilling in the house :) would highly reccommend millie to anyone needing a reliable per sitter.....excellent service !!”
“Outstanding sitters! Jasmin and Ted were absolute lifesavers when we had a last-minute three-night hospital stay for the birth of our baby. They welcomed our cockapoo, Eddie, with open arms and treated him like royalty. Their flexibility and kindness took a huge weight off our minds. We got lots of updates and photos of a very happy dog. We came home to a relaxed Eddie, which is the best sign of a wonderful stay. Cannot recommend and thank them highly enough!”
“Sonia C. looked after my dog, Wicket, over the Christmas period from the 17th to the 2nd and did a fantastic job. She was reliable, caring, and made sure Wicket was well looked after while I was away, which gave me real peace of mind. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive dog sitter, and I will definitely be using her again in the future.”
“Ted has another great stay with Alessia. Hes always very excited to see her and loves spending time with her. We always have regular updates and pictures on what Ted’s been up to and highly recommend Alessia.”
“Lisa & Alex were absolutely fantastic with Wilf! He is a big excitable puppy who doesn’t really know his size & seems to have endless energy! But we got so many photos & videos of him having the best time. We were a little nervous to leave him but we’re out at ease with a photo of him sleeping soundly not long after we left him! Lisa & Alex’s place was really a home away from home. Thank you so much.”
“I cannot recommend Lisa highly enough, she went above and beyond to make Charlie feel welcome, settled and part of the family. Lisa kept in regular contact sharing updates of Charlie’s adventures. I will be sure to use Lisa’s services again - thank you Lisa and family! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
About: Neil and I are passionate animal lovers offering a calm, loving environment for dog boarding. We cared for our Beagle for 12 wonderful years before she sadly passed away due to illness, which gave me valuable experience with dog care, routines, and companionship. We’ve also looked after family dogs including Cockapoos and Labradors, and regularly care for our neighbours’ cats and dogs while they are away on holiday. Since we’re not quite ready for another dog of our own yet, Rover feels like the perfect way to continue sharing our home and care with dogs. I work from home full-time, and Neil predominantly works from home as well, so there will almost always be one or both of us at home with any boarded dogs throughout their stay. We have a large living area with patio doors leading to a secure, fenced grass garden that dogs can enjoy all year round. Because we work from home, we’re able to give dogs plenty of attention, companionship, and regular toilet breaks throughout the day. We can also take dogs out for walks during breaks, lunch, and in the evenings, so it’s very normal for dogs staying with us to enjoy up to three walks a day depending on their needs and routine. We’re also happy to adapt to older dogs or those who prefer a slower pace and quieter routine. Neil and I provide a safe, calm, and loving home environment where dogs are treated like part of the family. As one or both of us work from home most days, dogs are rarely left alone and receive plenty of attention, regular walks, playtime, and care throughout their stay. We have a secure fenced grass garden and always follow each owner’s routines and preferences carefully, including feeding, walks, medication, and any special requirements. We’re also happy to provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind while owners are away.
“Corinne did a fantastic job watching Poppy. She gave frequent and detailed updates with pictures and videos. I could tell that Poppy was being cared for well and that Corinne was attentive to her needs. Thank you so much for watching our lil Poppy 😊”
“Billy & Paige are very caring and kind. I was provided with lots of “pupdates” throughout Barnaby’s stay. I loved seeing the pictures and messages. Would highly recommend!”
“My lab Bailey had an amazing stay with Florence. I was caught out last minute when my previous sitter cancelled. Florence got back to me super quick, and even made herself available for a meet and greet at the park before Bailey’s stay. Bail looked like he had the time of his life while I was away, Florence sent through some amazing photos and it was great to know he was having a ball. It’s always hard leaving your pup, but Florence genuinely made Bailey a part of the family, and he loved Bonzo’s company during his stay. Couldn’t recommend Florence highly enough, Bailey was so well looked after, and I’ve already booked him for my next trip away!”
“Cayenne stayed with Joanna for 5 nights and had such a lovely time! She was really happy and clearly well looked after. Joanna sent me loads of photos and updates, which I really appreciated and made me feel completely at ease. I’m so happy with everything and would highly recommend her 😊🫶🏻”
“Brad and Chloe are a lovely couple who really look after our dog Milo with genuine warmth and enthusiasm. Milo is always so excited to see them and their dogs! This gives us complete peace of mind and means we can enjoy our days out or time away. It is a great comfort to us to know that he is being well looked after and we would not hesitate to use them again or to recommend them. Thank you Brad and Chloe!”
“Stephen was the perfect sitter for Hugo; lots of love and attention, a good sized garden and access to a sofa… and a lap even though Hugo is too big! Stephen clearly loves dogs and adjusts to their needs. He gets a big tick from us!”
About: I have never not known my life without a dog. My family always had dogs, my mum’s family bred cavaliers so I’ve always been around dogs of all ages. As well as watching my mum train and look after the dogs we had growing up. I have had my dog Bailey for 7 years , he is an extremely well trained and behaved lhasapoo. He gets on with other dogs but also leaves them alone if he knows they’re not keen on playing. I go into the office on a Tuesday and Friday.I work from home the rest of the week and I am home at the weekends, so i can be flexible. I’m also free most evenings and weekends. I have a house with a large secured back garden which is fenced. The pets would have free roam of downstairs as well as having my dog Bailey as company.
