“Alex and her family looked after Sonny for three days while we were away, and we couldn't have asked for better care. We received daily updates and photos, which gave us complete peace of mind. Sonny was clearly very happy, well looked after, and treated as part of the family. He enjoyed regular walks, including lovely walks in the forest, and it was wonderful to see him having such a great time. Alex was caring, reliable, and attentive to all of Sonny's needs. We are incredibly grateful for the love and care Sonny received and would highly recommend Alex and her family to anyone looking for a safe, caring, and trustworthy home for their pet.”
“I can’t recommend Abby enough. Abby recommended an overnight stay before our dog Duke’s booking, which I thought was a great idea, making sure everyone was comfortable. Duke stayed with Abby for 12 days, she kept in touch and also took Duke to a run free meadow and for beach walks, making him part of their family. When we collected Duke, he seemed happy and content and Abby had gone the extra mile by cleaning all his bedding before his return. I will definitely be using Abby again and recommending her to all my friends and family.”
“Kobe had such a wonderful stay with Mat and his family. Prior to boarding we arranged a pre-stay meeting which was great and really helpful, from that initial meeting I knew Kobe would be very well looked after. Throughout his stay Mat kept us updated with Kobe's progress and sent lots of pictures which was so lovely. Would definitely recommend and will definitely be using Mat again for boarding, so long as the crazy pup is welcome ??. Thank you all so much for looking after our boy.”
“This was Jaspers 2nd stay with Dominic. He was made to feel welcome as soon as he arrived. Him & Thunder seem at ease in each others company which is lovely to see. Dominic sent regular photos of his stay. I feel comfortable leaving him, knowing he is being well cared for. I think he missed Thunder when we got home! Thank you 🙂”
“Thanks to Laura again! Bear had a wonderful holiday with Laura while I could go away for work relaxed in the knowledge that his every need was taken care of. Laura very kindly keeps me updated with Bears adventures while he is with her, which are always nice to see that he is totally taken care of! Thanks again Laura”
“As soon as I met Victoria I knew she was responsible, friendly and approachable. I felt my dog was enjoying himself with Victoria’s dog and was sent photos of them playing together. I had complete faith in her being able to look after Bailey and when he returned home he was tired but happy.”

Rufus returned so calm and happy we would definitely use Diane again and recommend her to others. Thanks Diane!”

I provide feeding, fresh water, exercise, enrichment, grooming where needed, and regular health monitoring each day. I also ensure living areas are kept clean and that each animal receives plenty of love, attention, and positive interaction. My flexible schedule means I am able to adapt to the individual needs of each pet, whether that involves walks, playtime, administering medication if required, or simply providing companionship.

“We left our shepsky Koda in the care of Sylvia and her family while my family and I were on holiday for two weeks. I could see that Koda had a fantastic time through the pictures I was regularly sent. I received frequent updates and came home to a wagging tail. Thank you Sylvia.”
“My very nervous whippet Betty and bumptious terrier Carson, had a wonderful time here. First time and well settled in on sofa and on someone ‘s lap as shown in the photos sent to me with updates on their progress. I would have no concerns in recommending this very caring family home for dog sitting”
“Such a kind and thoughtful woman. Our dog is allergic to Christmas trees, and Andrea was so accommodating, that she moved her tree away from any areas our dog had access too. We got the feeling that nothing was too much trouble for her, and we're very grateful that she could take in our dog at such short notice. We would definitely recommend Andrea and her beautiful dog.”

About: I’ve been caring for cats since childhood, and my love for them has only grown over the years. I adore their unique personalities—every cat is different, and I take the time to understand their needs, whether they’re playful, shy, or independent. I have experience with feeding, litter maintenance, playtime, and giving lots of affection (if they’re in the mood for it!). Your cat’s comfort and happiness are my top priorities, and I’ll treat them like my own while you’re away 🐈💖🐈⬛
“Zoe was fabulous with our Henry! He’s a very pampered cat.. and isn’t sure of new people. But he was very settled and happy with Zoe. A chilled calm and happy little man when we returned home after a couple of days away. Zoe sent me a few photos- which is super reassuring. She took great care of our home. We would not hesitate to ask for Zoe again, or recommend her!”

About: I've grown up with dogs + fish. Now I've had 2 beautiful cats for the last 3 years. My partner, who will also help, has grown up with cats/dogs/chickens and more! Between the 2 of us we have 2 dogs and 3 cats currently. I work from home full time in the golden triangle so can easily pop out to check in on pups or kittens😺. My partner works from her salon Tuesday - Friday in fakenham so she can also provide services there if need be. We have a big car so taking big dogs out for a great walk is easy to do! My garden is fenced but only 3ft. Therefore they can use it for toilets etc with me supervising but I'd aim to take your dogs out for nice walks (if they are able to).
About: I have owned a Pomeranian and a springer spaniel. I have previous experience through caring for both. I am well equipped for dogs who are calm or a little naughty as my own were two rescue dogs and this alongside my experience with previous dog sitting has given me lots of ability with different types of dogs such as; Italian greyhounds,Russian toy terriers, Pomeranians, spaniels, terriers and poodle crosses :) I am happy to provide anything from just hours of playtime to long walks. I have lots of extra hours when not at work and so I have lots of time to spare and thought it would be fun to fill it caring for dogs while being able to help the owners out too. Currently work 9-5:30pm and have weekends free. Plus every third Wednesday off. I am happy to take care of pets after works and all day and evening etc on weekends. Dogs will have access to the house and garden and be supervised at all times - I usually just let them join me during my daily activities & then taking time out to play with them in the garden etc aswell as walks in the park.

“We felt instantly at ease when we first met Alex to drop off our slightly nervous 1 year old cocker spaniel (Ronnie). We had regular updates throughout the evening which helped ease our worries - he fed him and took him out on a couple walks so he could do his business. He was also very accommodating to our needs as we needed to pick Ronnie up at the unsociable time of 11pm. Would definitely use Alex again if we are in the area and need help 👌”
“This was the first time I've left my puppy with someone and Andreas really reassured me. Trixy had a fab day (she told me ?) she had lots of fun. I would not hesitate to take Trixy to Andreas again.”
“Cormac (w) Ulfada LOVED his first full visit with Paulina. The care he received was first class. Thank you both, I feel happy and confident he will be in your care for many years to come.”

I will try my best to be flexible, and am happy to discuss any particular requirements or preferences.

I have a large fenced back garden for your dog to be safe and play in. Additionally to the grass is a rubber pieced section too.
About: Hi! Im Faith. 8+ years of animal and dog experience. From being a trainee Vet Nurse, dealing with check ups and consultations, working in a well known Kennels to thriving in an animal University and finishing with an Animal Care Diploma. I now have my own business after completing Pet Psychology which is mainly boarding and training however, i do offer consultations, virtual training and training with boarding, offered through my page. Boarding dogs and having lots of fun on the way is my day to day, and i wouldn’t change it! Making sure the dog/cat under my supervision is safe and happy is a key part to boarding, im constantly bringing comfort while their owners are away. I am very bubbly and enjoy most of my time walking and training dogs so they can live a happy life- whatever you need to make you feel comfortable, just let me know. I have a car so i can take the dogs on adventures to big parks and lakes. (I can offer a bath if they get smelly due to too much fun in the mud) I can also offer nail trimming and ear cleaning with all vet approved products. I have a first aid kit on site to keep minds at ease, but this is for safety reasons. Drop off and collections are either 7-9am or 4-6pm. Please make sure you are on time. For any queries on this, please let me know and i will do my best to accommodate. Please see page below for more details.

About: I am delighted to join the Rover community as I want to share my love of and experience with dogs and help you with your lovely canine family members. I am very proud to describe myself as a mad dog lady: I have had my own dogs for over 24 years and grew up with dogs throughout my childhood. I have taken care of many dogs – from puppies to the elderly – and have experience in administering medication, should the need arise. We currently have a 6-year-old male (intact) Tibetan Terrier, Barney, having lost my beautiful Large Münsterlander nearly 4 years ago. We all miss having two dogs in the house (particularly Barney) and so I have decided to open my home to care for other dogs. We live in Ringland and have a large fully enclosed back garden and access to wonderful rural walks. My husband and I are retired but very active, and Barney gets at least two 40-minute walks a day (from the door – no need for car journeys), as well as lots of attention during the day. We would be delighted to host well-behaved, fully house trained, small to medium sized dogs (up to Red Setter, Golden Retriever, Labrador size) BUT they must get on with Barney. He is very friendly and very dog-motivated, but it will be necessary to have a meet and greet with Barney before agreeing terms. I would be happy to consider both boarding here and daycare (drop off here in Ringland). Please contact me with any enquiries. Thank you for taking the time to read this advert and I look forward to meeting your Canine family members. My husband and I are now fully retired and home with our pampered pooch much of the time, so an additional well-behaved dog would be welcome to our home. We have a large fully enclosed back garden and access from the doorstep to wonderful rural walks. I have experience in administering medication, if needed.

“I was a bit anxious when i first left Bob (springer spaniel) with Gemma for day care as he has never been left before. However I have left him twice now and wouldn't hesitate in using her services again. I imagine having two spaniels to look after is quite exhausting (& fun!) but everything went to plan and Bob & Monty got along well. Gemma is very professional, caring and gives regular updates and photos which proved Bob had a great time and put me at ease! Thank you 😊”
About: Animals have always been a passion of mine & nothing beats a wagging tail! Having spent 14 years as a professional dog walker in Surrey, we moved to Norfolk for my husbands job and a slower pace of life, but for me something was missing, my four legged friends. Treating your dog as my own, providing the love, care and attention, that they deserve on their walks and stays. I am DBS checked & having my own Public Liability Insurance for dog walking & sitting. I will provide a safe, fun and sociable service. Sometimes life just stands in the way of providing the time and attention your beloved pet requires. So come walk, feed or play, I will be there. Having moved here recently and settling into our new life in the country, I am not currently working, so it would fit in perfectly with a school run in the mix. I have a large fenced garden, with plenty of space to explore, with a miniature dachshund who loves to socialise and play. I have 2 children, aged 10 & 11, who love dogs, the outdoors & exploring.
About: I’m an 18-year-old female living on a farm, with hands-on experience caring for a wide range of animals. I have two dogs of my own, including one who is quite nervous, so I understand the importance of patience, attention, and tailoring walks to suit each dog’s individual needs. I’m also confident handling larger, energetic dogs—my spaniels certainly keep me on my toes! At home, I care for an indoor cat who loves plenty of affection, so I’m equally comfortable providing gentle, attentive care for cats. I’m looking to offer dog walking and pet sitting alongside my studies, combining my passion for animals with staying active, while making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I am currently studying radiology My availability’s are: Monday 3-5pm Tuesday 9-11am Wednesday 9am-5pm Thursday 2-5pm Friday 1-3pm Saturday & Sunday all day If you do have any requests for other times feel free to get in contact and i may be able to be flexible however this is my current time frames I focus on keeping things safe, calm, and consistent for every pet. I stick to their usual routine as much as possible and take note of any specific needs, whether that’s a nervous dog who needs a bit more patience or a high-energy dog that needs proper handling on walks. In an owner’s home, I’m respectful of their space and follow all instructions around feeding, exercise, and care. I make sure pets are secure at all times—checking leads, gates, and surroundings. At my home on the farm, there’s plenty of space, but pets are always supervised in a safe environment, I am very aware of the ability dogs and cats may have as I’ve seen my puppy jump a big gate . Overall, I just aim to keep pets comfortable and well looked after while and for their owners to feel comfortable and confident their pets will be safe
About: I love dogs. They are family and must be treated as such. I have experience with many puppies up to larger dogs weighing in excess of 30kg. I’ve a sensible head, good common sense and your best friend will get the best care with me. I walk different breed of dogs daily, I adapt the walk to their pace, some older paws need to go a bit slower! I have first aid certificate for dogs and happy to give medication if required. Free most weekends, still have availability all day Wednesday, some on Monday and Friday mornings. Cat drop in morning and late afternoon are free every day. Please contact me to confirm. I will care for your pets on drop in visits as if they were my own. They will have time to play and have cuddles whilst feeding to your schedule and making sure there is fresh water. I do not have a licence to board dogs so not offering this service. Equally I cannot offer sitter services in your home due to having 3 dogs of my own.
“Pinar took such good care of our miniature dachshund bramble. She gave us lots of updates throughout, photos and videos. We felt like Pintar and her family looked after Bramble as if she was their own dog. Would definitely recommend her to anyone”
“My dog Molly, a mature lady of 12 years had great care from Ines, who made no fuss about Molly shedding big time - great clumps of fur ready for spring/summer, in the family home! That was my big worry..... the photos and video were great to receive during Molly’s day care.It was lovely to meet Ines other doggy ‘ clients’. Thank You Ines and family.”
About: I've had a dog since I was a child, almost 4 years ago I got our Bedlington whippet Rufus. I am not a fan of aversive training methods. I work from home and have time to let the doggy out into the garden and play with them during my breaks. Doggies can play together or just chill next to me in the bed of my spare room/office. We have woods nearby where we go for walks every day. I can only sit potty trained non-destructive dogs that can get on with neutered male dog. I have a fenced garden, it is not large but big enough for some zoomies. Doggies can be on the sofa or beds and will be let out to the garden whenever ring the reception bell I have placed next to the door to the garden. Rufus has learnt to ring it and your pooch no doubt will too easily, if they howl at me I'll come running as well.

About: Hi, I’m Paulina — though the dogs know me as Pawlina 🐾! I run PAWLINA: Home for Pets, a safe, licensed, and insured home-from-home for dogs in Little Fransham. I hold a Breckland Council Animal Welfare Licence (AWL0208) for home boarding and daycare of up to 5 dogs, so you can be sure your pets are cared for to the highest standards. I’ve loved animals since I was a child—my home was always full of pets, and I’ve felt happiest outdoors in nature. I’m calm and gentle, which animals seem to naturally sense. Even the shyest ones warm up to me quickly and often come over for cuddles. I can't walk away when an animal needs help—like the little kitten I rescued and found a loving home for (take a peek at my gallery, but be prepared for a cuteness overload 😍). It makes me very happy to make animals feel safe and loved. What I also love about my pet-sitting work is the chance to meet wonderful people—pet owners who, like me, truly care about animals. From my experience, pet owners are some of the kindest and most caring individuals you can find, and I feel lucky to be around such a kind community. At Pawlina's, your furry family member will be safe, loved, and treated like one of my own. I can’t wait to welcome them and help them feel right at home! 🐾❤️ I work part-time from home — just a couple of hours in the morning and a couple in the afternoon, Monday to Friday. Because my job is home-based, I’m available all week to care for your pets. They’ll never be left for long periods and will always get plenty of time, care, and attention every single day. Together with my partner, I live in a cosy two-bed bungalow with a secure 0.17-acre garden in peaceful Little Fransham. The area is wonderfully quiet, with beautiful walks right on our doorstep — perfect for outdoor adventures with pets. Whether welcoming your furry friend into my spacious, pet-friendly home or caring for them in yours, I prioritise creating a calm and secure environment. I’m happy to follow your pet’s routines and preferences so they feel completely at ease.

“Susan walked Lenny once last Monday. I no longer need her as my regular dog walker is back from hols. I do not know why I have received a notice of reoccurring payment as I paid Rover £12.95 and also Susan £14. Can admin sort this out and confirm I do not pay for a reoccurring service with Susan. I did not set this up at any time, I don't expect Susan did either as she knew it was a one off arrangement.”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and have personally owned four cocker spaniels, giving me hands-on experience with energetic, affectionate breeds. I’m confident with walking, feeding, bathing and providing lots of care and reassurance, and I always treat pets like family. Pet care fits well into my weekly routine alongside my uni studies. I’m organised, flexible, and able to plan my schedule around bookings. I’m available for regular drop-ins, walks, and sitting, and I always make sure pets receive consistent attention, exercise, and care while owners are away. I always prioritise safety, trust, and routine when caring for pets. I follow owners’ instructions closely, keep environments calm and secure, and ensure pets feel comfortable and well cared for in their own home.
About: Fully Qualified in pet sitting and dog walking. Full DBS has been completed. I have had previous experience working in a Boarding Kennels. I have had several Dogs myself of many different breeds. I also used to train Greyhounds and Whippets within the Racing environment. I set up the business to continue my love of working with animals. But mainly to provide a service that allows Clients to ensure their pets are well looked after when other commitments call. I know how close to us our pets are so clear communication with my Clients on how their pet is doing would be key. I set up Bark 4 the Lead at the beginning of 2024. This is my full time Job so the pets that are boarded here have my full attention throughout the day and night. I offer dog walking which I complete in the morning for a couple of my Clients. I live in a very quiet area down a service track. The property is fenced in with no other pets in the household. I recommend clients to visit with their pets prior to booking so they feel comfortable and reassured.
“Jasmine sent me regular pup-dates of Bodie on his walk! she walked him for the full 30 minutes and made me aware when she arrived/left my home! will definitely be using Jasmines service again!”
“What a kind girl. Laura changed times because of unexpected heatwave, how thoughtful. Rosie, my staffie, was very happy to go exploring with Laura and we look forward to meeting again. I would highly recommend Laura, she was professional, very capable and a pleasure to meet.”
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.

“Faith was excellent with Rocky. It was his first time having someone else walk him for a longer period of time and she done an amazing job. Couldn’t recommend Faith enough. She’ll take great care of your pets, keep you updated with plenty of photos and videos and you can tell she cares a lot so you’re pet will get the best care from her! I Will 1000% use faith again!!”
About: I've grown up with dogs + fish. Now I've had 2 beautiful cats for the last 3 years. My partner, who will also help, has grown up with cats/dogs/chickens and more! Between the 2 of us we have 2 dogs and 3 cats currently. I work from home full time in the golden triangle so can easily pop out to check in on pups or kittens😺. My partner works from her salon Tuesday - Friday in fakenham so she can also provide services there if need be. We have a big car so taking big dogs out for a great walk is easy to do! My garden is fenced but only 3ft. Therefore they can use it for toilets etc with me supervising but I'd aim to take your dogs out for nice walks (if they are able to).
About: Hi! My name is Lucy and I’m a young and enthusiastic person that lives at home with my family, my dog buster recently passed away and turned my life upside down as he was my best friend, which is why I’ve come to rover to show my love to all the dogs I’ll be looking after. I have a strong passion for looking after animals and I’m very into my fitness so I love going on dog walks so I can get a few extra steps in for the day and enjoy the company of a joyous dog. I enjoy helping other so if you need me to take your dog on a walk, go and visit your pets while your not home to ensure they’ve been let out, fed and had a little play or even dog sit for you while your away for the night id be more then happy to. I know it can be a little scary leaving your dog with someone else but I can assure you I treat every dog as if it were my own and will take excellent care of them.
About: I am an experienced pet owner and have had many dogs and cats over the years. We even had 14 cats at one point! I currently have my own 4 month old kitten, called Wrathion, the black prince (my partner named him, not me!) I’m happy caring for kittens and puppies as well as older cats and dogs! I am currently in maternity leave, so am not taking any booking until the end of September. I’m happy to pop in as much or as little as you need. I’ve recently moved to Wymondham but can drive, so am able to travel within a 10 miles radius. I understand it can be scary to leave your animals in the care of a stranger, so I am more than happy to come and meet your pets before I look after them. I will give them as much or as little fuss as they want. I’m also happy send you updates via WhatsApp.
About: I am a huge lover of all dogs, big or small. Having grown up in a house filled with both working and pet dogs, and recently moving out of my family home, I am looking to spend more time with dogs! I am a very active individual and would love to take your four legged friends for a stroll, either old/young! Just let me know what your dog requires/likes and I will fit a walk/visit around their needs! I work as a nanny, so during term time have large free periods of time, for stopping by and letting pets out/feeding/walking/playing with them. Having grown up on a stud/farm I am very competent with a variety of animals should you need more animals checking on/tending too. Please feel free to message regarding rates. I currently have full flexibility for pet sitting / walking, fitting my personal life around this work. Available for walking from 6am-9pm at the moment. I do kindly ask you provide the appropriate information for your pets and their needs, I am happy to adhere to the routine you provide for your pet.
About: Absolute dog lover! I am a proud owner of 2 wonderful Labradors - Buster 11year old black Labrador and Bourbon - 2 year old chocolate Labrador. I am a qualified hairdresser but should have really chosen to groom dogs over people, as I could spend all day in their loving company. I am happy to work with any dog breed and size but I have a soft spot for bigger breeds. If you require any additional information on me then please feel free to contact me via email. I can be available week days and weekends, with flexible Time slots and I also have a very laid back cancellation policy. I am self employed working from my home salon so I have full control and flexibility on when I am available. I would love to incorporate dogs into my work life and this is the start of it ✨. Dog walking and drop in visits is where I’m at now, with future plans to include training/behaviour and boarding facilities I aim to walk your dog exactly how you would to ensure that any training and behaviour stays consistent. Whether that is off lead in an enclosed safe area or kept on the lead. I look forward to helping you and your fur babies 🐾🐶 Jaymin

“Alex and her family looked after Sonny for three days while we were away, and we couldn't have asked for better care. We received daily updates and photos, which gave us complete peace of mind. Sonny was clearly very happy, well looked after, and treated as part of the family. He enjoyed regular walks, including lovely walks in the forest, and it was wonderful to see him having such a great time. Alex was caring, reliable, and attentive to all of Sonny's needs. We are incredibly grateful for the love and care Sonny received and would highly recommend Alex and her family to anyone looking for a safe, caring, and trustworthy home for their pet.”
“I can’t recommend Abby enough. Abby recommended an overnight stay before our dog Duke’s booking, which I thought was a great idea, making sure everyone was comfortable. Duke stayed with Abby for 12 days, she kept in touch and also took Duke to a run free meadow and for beach walks, making him part of their family. When we collected Duke, he seemed happy and content and Abby had gone the extra mile by cleaning all his bedding before his return. I will definitely be using Abby again and recommending her to all my friends and family.”
“Kobe had such a wonderful stay with Mat and his family. Prior to boarding we arranged a pre-stay meeting which was great and really helpful, from that initial meeting I knew Kobe would be very well looked after. Throughout his stay Mat kept us updated with Kobe's progress and sent lots of pictures which was so lovely. Would definitely recommend and will definitely be using Mat again for boarding, so long as the crazy pup is welcome ??. Thank you all so much for looking after our boy.”
“This was Jaspers 2nd stay with Dominic. He was made to feel welcome as soon as he arrived. Him & Thunder seem at ease in each others company which is lovely to see. Dominic sent regular photos of his stay. I feel comfortable leaving him, knowing he is being well cared for. I think he missed Thunder when we got home! Thank you 🙂”
“Thanks to Laura again! Bear had a wonderful holiday with Laura while I could go away for work relaxed in the knowledge that his every need was taken care of. Laura very kindly keeps me updated with Bears adventures while he is with her, which are always nice to see that he is totally taken care of! Thanks again Laura”
“As soon as I met Victoria I knew she was responsible, friendly and approachable. I felt my dog was enjoying himself with Victoria’s dog and was sent photos of them playing together. I had complete faith in her being able to look after Bailey and when he returned home he was tired but happy.”

Again, would definitely reccomend and will be back again at some point, reign looks forward to it, thanks again Kirsty”

About: I have extensive experience caring for a wide variety of pets, ranging from small mammals and companion animals. I have cared for tortoises, goldfish, guinea pigs, rabbits, hamsters, cats, and dogs of all ages and temperaments. My experience includes supporting a senior dog recovering from a stroke, ensuring their comfort, safety, and rehabilitation while maintaining their daily routine and health needs. I have also successfully bred and raised dogs, overseeing a mother through three litters of puppies and providing comprehensive care for all puppies until they were eight weeks old. This included monitoring their health, socialization, nutrition, and early training, ensuring each puppy developed strong foundations for lifelong well-being. My approach to pet care is attentive, compassionate, and tailored to each individual animal’s needs, whether it’s maintaining specialized enclosures for reptiles, ensuring proper nutrition and enrichment for small mammals, or providing exercise, stimulation, and medical support for dogs and cats. I am currently working from home, which allows me to build pet care naturally into my daily routine. Caring for pets is part of my everyday life. I provide feeding, fresh water, exercise, enrichment, grooming where needed, and regular health monitoring each day. I also ensure living areas are kept clean and that each animal receives plenty of love, attention, and positive interaction. My flexible schedule means I am able to adapt to the individual needs of each pet, whether that involves walks, playtime, administering medication if required, or simply providing companionship. Whether it's playful dogs, curious cats, or small mammals, every animal is given a safe, happy, and caring environment where their welfare is my priority. Your pets will feel right at home with me. I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where animals can relax, play, and thrive. Each pet receives individual attention, regular feeding, exercise, and enrichment tailored to their needs. Whether it’s cuddles for cats, walks for dogs, or proper habitat care for small mammals, I ensure every pet is happy, secure, and well-cared for while in my home.
“We left our shepsky Koda in the care of Sylvia and her family while my family and I were on holiday for two weeks. I could see that Koda had a fantastic time through the pictures I was regularly sent. I received frequent updates and came home to a wagging tail. Thank you Sylvia.”
“My very nervous whippet Betty and bumptious terrier Carson, had a wonderful time here. First time and well settled in on sofa and on someone ‘s lap as shown in the photos sent to me with updates on their progress. I would have no concerns in recommending this very caring family home for dog sitting”
“Such a kind and thoughtful woman. Our dog is allergic to Christmas trees, and Andrea was so accommodating, that she moved her tree away from any areas our dog had access too. We got the feeling that nothing was too much trouble for her, and we're very grateful that she could take in our dog at such short notice. We would definitely recommend Andrea and her beautiful dog.”
