About: I’ve had a dog ever since I was little and absolutely love them! 8 years ago I became a qualified Dog groomer which I still love doing, before this I done 2 years at college in animal care.

I currently work part time (Monday - Wednesday) and I generally only have to go into the office on a Tuesday, therefore I can be at home every day apart from Tuesdays. I have a fenced garden and live in a safe and quiet little village just outside of Norwich. I don’t have any pets so your Dog will get my full attention :)

About: I have taken care of pets for 8 years now, previously having two cats and currently having an adorable fluffy dog which I time share with my parents due to rental restrictions. I used to work on a farm working with horses, cows and goats which was quite a challenge! I now volunteer for an elderly couple in my village to walk their senior dog to make sure she stays active in her older years. I am used to feeding, bathing and performing grooming tasks for both dogs and cats (alongside some big farm animals too!). I am currently working full time in local government, meaning I don't get much time to spend with cute friendly faces in my social life. Therefore providing these services outside of my normal work hours is a true passion of mine. I am happy to have a weekly routine with your pet if this is something you would prefer, and I can work this around my job based on your request. The same goes for any kind of house sitting arrangement, so please do ask! I am extremely respectful with the different training styles and any feeding, grooming or house arrangements that each individual pet and owner have. I am used to handling lots of animals of different behaviors, sizes and medical needs; so i can adapt to what is necessary for each animal in my care.
“I cannot recommend Ruth highly enough! She took exceptional care of my four cats. Throughout the stay, I received thoughtful updates and adorable photos. I came home to calm, happy cats and a spotless home. It was clear they were not only cared for, but genuinely understood. I’m so grateful to have found such a wonderful sitter! ”

“Hermione went above and beyond to ensure our cats were happy and healthy whilst we were away. She kept us updated the whole time with pictures and message updates, which was great as it was our first time leaving them with anyone but family. Would absolutely not hesitate to book again!!”

I have absolutely no hesitation recommending Alex if you are considering having someone stay in your house to look after your pets whilst you are away.”
About: I’ve had cats my entire life and have trained them myself too. I’ve also looked after friend’s pets whilst they’ve been on holiday. I can look after any pets from when they are young to elderly as have lots of experience. My gran has always had cats and so I’ve grown up around them as well as my own.
“Lucy looked after our cat Lilith for a weekend. We were able to meet with Lucy before the sit, which was helpful and put our minds at ease. Lucy was communicative during the sit, followed the intructions accurately, sent us photo updates, and left the house in great condition for us to come back to. I was confident leaving Lilith with Lucy and would definitely recommend this sitter.”
About: I have rescued and cared for two cats, giving me hands-on experience with different personalities, routines, and care requirements. I have also worked at Redwings Horse Sanctuary, supporting the care of horses and running wellbeing activities that connected people with horses.

I hold an Enhanced DBS check and I am experienced in working responsibly with both children and animals. I am comfortable providing care such as: • Feeding and maintaining routines • Administering medication where required • Caring for animals with different needs and temperaments • Providing companionship, attention, and reassurance • Looking after animals in a calm, respectful way • Drop in pet sitting, or longer stay-in house and pet sitting if required I understand that pets are part of the family and aim to provide reliable, compassionate care that gives owners peace of mind while they are away.
About: Since I was 7 years old my mum was a dog breeder and so I have always been surrounded by dogs. This included years of dog walking, grooming, taking care of puppies as well as our senior dogs. When I was 17 I got a job at a dog kennel where I gave dogs their medications, walked them daily, cleaned and gave them all the fuss and love I could! I now have two dogs, a poodle and a cocker spaniel who I love with all of my heart! I am currently working self employed as a massage therapist, lash tech and cleaner. Whilst I gain clients in those areas I thought why not use my passion and love for animals to become a dog walker/sitter! My daily routine includes lots of walks and anything outside! This job would fit well around my routine due to being self employed so I control my working hours, I am also available quite often for this role. I will treat your dogs as I treat my own. They will get all of my attention, I will ensure they are safe, happy and hydrated! They will be supplied with endless cuddles and walks (as long as it’s not too hot!)

We live in a property far from a main road over a stream and on the edge of a lovely big meadow. We also have an enclosed secure garden.

“We hadn't left our Sprocker Spaniel doggies with anyone until we found Heidi......she was relaxed, they were relaxed and we were relaxed. They had a lovely time and we will be leaving them back with Heidi another time to be cared for, loved and spoiled!!!”
“Darcie had the most lovely day and has come back from Charlotte’s ready for a good nap! Also a lovely touch was her “report card” for the day.. written by Darcie telling us about her adventures!”
“Absolutely perfect. It was my first time using Rover. I was so undecided whether to bring Odin for our weekend away as he gets a bit fed up being dragged around on lead but didn’t want to leave him in kennels. I felt doggy daycare for a couple of afternoons would be the best of both worlds. Maxine & hubby was so lovely, booked us in at short notice, responded to messages super quick and we felt 100% comfortable leaving him. Without a doubt if we come down this way again we would love Maxine to look after him. Thank you for being so wonderful!”
About: We’re lifelong dog lovers and take a considered, personal approach so each dog receives plenty of individual attention. My husband and I both work from home full time, meaning dogs in our care are rarely left alone and enjoy consistent company throughout the day. During the week, our home is particularly calm as our two children (aged 6 and 8) are at school. We share our home with our own 3-year-old dog, who is relaxed, friendly, and well socialised with other dogs. Our children have grown up around dogs and are gentle and respectful, understanding when a dog needs space. We are best suited to dogs who are comfortable in a family environment and around children. Our home is spacious, with several quiet areas where dogs can rest if they prefer their own space, as well as the option to stay close to us in our home office. We also have a secure, fully fenced garden for safe outdoor time. Sleeping arrangements are flexible and tailored to your dog’s usual routine. We follow a calm, consistent daily routine, including at least one walk a day, and we’re happy to maintain your dog’s normal feeding, medication, and care. Ahead of booking, we ask owners to share any special requirements so we can provide thoughtful, personalised care. We’re always happy to arrange a meet and greet to make sure it’s the right fit for everyone. We both work from home full time with our own rescue dog who we take for daily walks, so always looking for more furry company! As already mentioned, you can rest assured your dog is in safe hands - our garden is fully fenced. We can also go for on-lead walks for your peace of mind.
“This is the first time we have left our dog with anyone and being a puppy we wanted him to have a good experience. We did a meet and greet first so able to meet Chelsea and see where our dog was to stay. We found there was a nice garden to play in, fields to walk the dog at the rear of the house. Chelsea was great with our dog giving him time and space to explore and get comfortable with his surroundings. On drop off and collection everything was calm and he seemed quite happy with his new experience. we will defiantly use the service again and fully confident that we are leaving our dog in good hands. Thank you Peter and Anne”

About: Professional, Experienced & Reactive, Dog Friendly Dog Care Four years ago, after my own dog was attacked and became seriously reactive, my love and passion for dogs deepened even further. That experience pushed me to expand my knowledge and complete multiple levels of dog training, giving me a strong understanding of canine behaviour, body language and how a dog’s brain works, particularly when it comes to anxiety and reactivity. I have owned, cared for and walked a wide variety of breeds, from spaniels and terriers to larger breeds such as Rottweilers. No breed fazes me, and I am confident handling dogs of all temperaments. In fact, I have a real soft spot for the more challenging characters… they often just need patience, understanding and the right approach. I am fully trained in Pet First Aid and Dog Safety, so you can have peace of mind knowing I understand emergency procedures including bandaging, CPR and how to safely manage unexpected situations to protect your dog. As a mum, any dogs in my care will need to be comfortable around children. My baby is always closely supervised and taught to respect dogs’ boundaries. Safety is my top priority. I use stair gates within the home to create calm, separate spaces when needed, and on walks my baby is securely in a carrier so I have full control and both hands free at all times. Your dog’s wellbeing, safety and emotional comfort will always come first. On my available days I will be with my baby who loves being out in nature, so our days mainly consists of walking! The max amount of time we are out is 2 hours if we go to a play group, but we are available all other times I have trained with a variety of different methods and understand that they each have their quirks and home comforts. I am used to crate training and also free roam, whichever is preferred, I have fed raw meat, fresh food and dry food too so understand each food type. I am also incredibly clean and tidy so you can insure your property will be found just how you left it!
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have trained them myself too. I’ve also looked after friend’s pets whilst they’ve been on holiday. I can look after any pets from when they are young to elderly as have lots of experience with my own. I seem to have an affinity with dogs, not only do I adore them but they also really like me. I’m an influencer so have lots of time and love to give to your pet as if it was my own. Available a lot. Your pet will always be safe with me as I have lots of experience. I’d make sure your pet is safe if out on a walk with me, be aware of surroundings and other pets. I’d keep your home locked and your pets safe inside when not out and about. Constantly making sure they have been walked, have enough water, fed and are happy.
About: I’ve had a dog ever since I was little and absolutely love them! 8 years ago I became a qualified Dog groomer which I still love doing, before this I done 2 years at college in animal care. Being a dog groomer has gave me the experience with handling or sorts of different dogs. I’m currently at work on Mondays. I’m at home for the majority of the week with my daughter so that gives us plenty of time to spend with your doggies Our garden is completely fenced off with two gates. If you’d like your dog to be crated we are happy to do so but would need to be supplied.
About: Since I was 7 years old my mum was a dog breeder and so I have always been surrounded by dogs. This included years of dog walking, grooming, taking care of puppies as well as our senior dogs. When I was 17 I got a job at a dog kennel where I gave dogs their medications, walked them daily, cleaned and gave them all the fuss and love I could! I now have two dogs, a poodle and a cocker spaniel who I love with all of my heart! I am currently working self employed as a massage therapist, lash tech and cleaner. Whilst I gain clients in those areas I thought why not use my passion and love for animals to become a dog walker/sitter! My daily routine includes lots of walks and anything outside! This job would fit well around my routine due to being self employed so I control my working hours, I am also available quite often for this role. I will treat your dogs as I treat my own. They will get all of my attention, I will ensure they are safe, happy and hydrated! They will be supplied with endless cuddles and walks (as long as it’s not too hot!)
About: I have had pet dogs and cats since the age of 10 and have also spent lots of time caring for friends and family pets. For 15 years I ran a smallholding with goats, pigs, sheep and various types of poultry and also farm sat on a regular basis at a 100 head goat farm. Experienced in milking and kidding. I love all types of animals, love spending time with them and treat them all as if they were my own. I'm happy to house sit and care for your animals throughout the UK and Europe. I am currently working part time but this is very flexible and from January 2026 I'll be available for full time pet sitting. I can't wait. I will look after your pets and your house as if they were my own. I am very reliable and trustworthy and have a DBS check.
About: With over five years of experience in looking after all kinds of animals as well as growing up in a house full of animals I am now available to look after furry friends whilst back home from university. Whilst my experience is mainly in the realms of dogs, cats, horses, hamsters and guinea pigs I have also looked after rabbits, birds and even a tortoise! I have had plenty of work experience through my degree in veterinary practices allowing me to handle medications as needed and keep an eye on any more senior animals as well, with which I aim to give owners some peace of mind as I completely understand how daunting it can feel when a pet has health issues and to trust someone else to monitor these. I currently work an online job for my university student union, which is part time. This means I have plenty of time to check in on furry friends and keep ontop of their daily schedules! Other than that I would ideally be going to the gym however if one of your furry friends needs 24/7 care it goes without saying that it would always be the priority! I will be able to take your dog out and about to local dog parks or for quieter walks through the lovely Norfolk countryside! With a car and full clean driving licence I would be more than happy to take your pets to safe local areas or walk them from your home. Which ever you would prefer and they would be more comfortable with!
About: Qualified in animal care level 2, Animal management & Dog grooming level 3. I worked in a vet’s previous to being a dog groomer. I’ve also done dog training in the past. I enjoy looking after pets and giving them the best care and fun I possibly can. My main job is a dog groomer so I have more skills in handling all kinds of dogs. I love all breeds of dogs and enjoy doing what I can to make them happy. I’m based in Bungay and know all the lovely places that dogs enjoy exploring. II also have access to private family farm with 600acres to walk on. I have my drivers license and a kitted out truck with secure dog box so have suitable transport. Dog bathing/ grooming can be arranged whilst your dog is in my care. I have a young child so all dogs must be child friendly. Dog walking available in Bungay, Brooke and all villages in between. Any questions please ask :) Thank you Shannon I’m happy to follow your dogs normal routines so they feel relaxed and happy. Any questions feel free to message me I’ll be happy to help :) I have a good size secure fenced garden. I have a dog agility set up to have some fun with your dog if they like that. A good selection of tough toys if they’re allowed. I encourage you to tell me your dogs typical daily routine so I can stick to it. Walks can be individual or in a group (no more than 4 dogs at one time).
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, and cats, since the young age of 6. I am trustworthy, gentle and reliable and will love your pet like they’re my own. I have taken care of family and friends dogs as well as my own and love more than anything to make every fluffy friend feel loved and safe. I currently work weekdays at a local cattery, with a large 4 hour break in between from 12-4 which I would love to fill with dog walks and drop-ins! I am free most weekends for house stays for the more nervous pups who feel safest in their own environments. However I cannot have other dogs at my own home at this time as I have a dog and two cats of my own who are not so open with sharing their space. I am happy to answer as many questions as needed in order for you to feel comfortable with me looking after your furry friend in your own home, as well as ensuring the routes for dog walks that I take will be safe. If you would prefer to have your dog on a lead whilst on walks that is completely fine and if your dog is not comfortable with walking on country roads I will avoid them in the routes I choose to take!
“I am very overprotective with my 2 pups and was very anxious to let someone else see to them. Trafford however was amazing! He took my girls out on 3 walks today, he let me know when he finished each walk and double checked with me about things that he didn’t want to assume was okay! Very polite and updated me on my girls throughout the day. Highly recommend and will be using again!”
About: Had our gorgeous staffy (Hugo) for 8 years. He was a rescue and took a little bit of work at the start. We cooked his food for him as he was a little fussy so I have experience with different dietary requirements. He also needed some medication towards the end. Experience with him as a younger dog all the way through to his elderly years. Currently I am on long term leave from the British Army. I expect to be available for the next 6 months and have a very open schedule allowing me total flexibility in supporting your pet needs. It also means I have extra time if your pet does have any special needs - I have time to learn and adapt to support them as best I can. Equally I’m very fit and active and can handle a dog that is strong on the lead and or needs lots of exercise ! I am living in a 4 bedroom home with a large fenced off garden with plenty of space to play and lots of lovely local walks. I am staying with my parents who will also be able to support and help so your pets will be very well looked after. I’ve spent 11 years in the British Army so I am very clean, tidy and respectful and would look after any homes I boarded in as well as the pets.

About: I’ve had dogs in my life since I can remember, my parents were always into bigger dogs and I’ve grown up around all sorts of animals, I’ve had horses, chickens, dogs, cats, rats and smaller animals. I’ve also looked after birds of prey and farm animals. Nothing will put me off and No breed of dog will put me off! When I left home I got my own dog she was a rescue in need of help she was a bull mastiff and she was a bag of bones, she didn’t even know how to use the stairs, I trained her got the weight back on her and also taught her how to get along with my horses.

About: Hello! My name is Ana. I’m a 28-year-old medical sciences and psychology graduate student living in Norwich, currently working within NHS in mental health services. Previously, I have worked with children and vulnerable individuals in educational and social care settings. I am truly passionate about our pawsome friends, and have had the opportunity of meeting and caring for a lot of special and unique pets in my life. Although I could not have a family pet, due to a sibling’s allergic condition, I took whatever opportunity I got to have some time with other family members or friends’ pets. I have been surrounded and completely in love with dogs since I was a kid, and always take every chance I get to give a pet or cuddle to any pups I encounter. I really like spending time with animals, children and in the nature, as it has always been something that brings me joy and peace, also contributing to my own wellbeing. I would be more than happy to spend some time with any pets in need of extra care or attention, and truly appreciate the trust that it involves for their families. I am also flexible with schedules and locations, so whatever I can help with, just please reach out. Either this is for a quick “toilet break” and sniff snaff around the neighbourhood, a home visit while you are out, a longer stay if you need some extra time away, or a full running around quality time for some outside exercising. I am always welcoming of both repeat and new bookings, so do get in touch whenever you might need! Regarding availability, I usually work odd long shifts, and have some free days during the week, so I am quite flexible with schedules and can usually adjust to your needs. Sometimes, my partner can also help out during bookings if owners consent to it, as he is able to cover for times when I might be working, so we have both worked together in the past to make sure that we are able to do the best for the pets we look after. I am not so great with getting back to owners very quickly, as I do usually have a lot going on at the same time, but if you message me, please know that I will get back to you as soon as possible! I will always ask the owners what they would like the care to be like, or what they would like it to include, so that you and your pet(s) are happy with the service. Usually, I will adjust to whatever you say and try to meet both yours and the pets expectations. This might include specific feeding times, walking frequency, medication timetables, trigger avoidance, prolonged playtime, relaxed companionship, or attentive care around a particular sensibility.

Teilo settled in very quickly and got lots of walks, play and attention. It was great for him to be with Nina's two dogs who were friendly and accepting of Teilo in their home, as he doesn't often get time with other dogs. I got regular communication and lots of photos. I will be using Nina again and recommend her to anyone looking for a five star sitter.”

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.”
“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.”

I have always loved dogs from a young age and always treat any dog that i look after like my own - making sure they are fed and watered, walked daily and making time to play. I currently work part time (Monday - Wednesday) and I generally only have to go into the office on a Tuesday, therefore I can be at home every day apart from Tuesdays. I have a fenced garden and live in a safe and quiet little village just outside of Norwich. I don’t have any pets so your Dog will get my full attention :)

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”
“This was an emergency booking. Charlotte suggested bringing Molly the day before for a sniff around and to meet us. Molly is an anxious dog and Charlotte gave her the time and space to explore. From the moment I took Molly into Charlotte’s home I felt reassured. She created a little area for Molly with her cushion, blanket and toys. There was also water available. Molly was happy to stay with her which was a relief. I got lots of updates and she clearly had a lovely time. Charlotte was so sensitive to Molly’s needs and didn’t put any pressure on her to do things she didn’t want to do. Over the two days Molly really grew in confidence. Molly has also had pancreatitis and Charlotte both understood and was prepared to give her painkillers if needed. I cannot thank Charlotte enough for the great care she showed Molly and would highly recommend her.”

Toby seemed perfectly content when we picked him up, thoroughly happy as were we. We would definitely recommend and if we go away again will definitely be rebooking.”
“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.”
“What can I say about Cookies stay. It was fantastic. Christina took such care of Cookie and put my mind at ease as this was the first time that Cookie has ever been left. Photo and video updates all day long. Which were very much appreciated. Andy, Christina's husband was great with Cookie too. They have a love for animals that shines through. I would recommend them to anyone. I will definitely be asking them to look after Cookie again with out hesitation. Thank you so much from me and Cookie. ❤️🐶👍😁”
“Sejal was brilliant when looking after Monty on his first boarding experience on Rover.

We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them and will definitely be booking again!”
