“Amazing! Home from home for our fur baby. Lots of updates with pictures and videos. He had the best time and think he is missing Claire and his new best friends. Highly recommend but not too much as I want to book again and once the secrets out Claire could get fully booked.”
“Carina was amazing with our little dog, she had a great time with her and her family! Good communication with regular updates and photos ! Would definitely recommend!!”
“We’ve had Patsy staying with Kara again, as always Patsy is so happy to see/stay with Kara. I can’t recommend Kara’s services enough, is so good to have someone that looks after Patsy that she trusts & looks forward to seeing it. Thanks Kara for always taking a such good care of Patsy.”
“Andrea was absolutely brilliant! I needed to board my dog at her place for a night at very short notice, and she couldn't have been more accommodating. She kept me fully informed throughout with photos and videos, which put my mind at ease. The whole process was so easy for all of us. My dog, Taxi clearly had a fantastic time – the photos speak for themselves! I would definitely recommend Andrea to anyone. She's been absolutely fabulous.”
“Federica was fantastic! Lovely home for our little dog who was very well cared for. Constant communication and photo updates... would definitely recommend Federica and we will definitely use her again :)”
“Milo had his first over night stay and we couldn’t be happier. Donna and Simon are just incredible, Milo is quite an anxious pooch but was more than happy and relaxed at his stay. We would be lost without them! X”
“We highly recommend Lidia. She was really communicative and sent lots of photos. Our dog Honey has separation anxiety and she was super understanding and we could tell that Honey had a great time. Would definitely use again”
“Melanie did a fantastic job filling in for a last-minute sitter change. She went out of her way to drive a long distance to get our dog while we were out of town, and kept us updated at every step. She sent us photos and updates daily, took our dog on outings and to a family gathering which our dog loved! We will definitely be using Melanie's service again.”
“Thank you Yhozmin & Uli for looking after Wilson. The picture you sent across showed he had a great time with you and the family. I would recommend the service to all!”

About: We have had family dogs for the last 11 years, we currently have 2 bearded collies, Merlin (11yrs) and Griffon (5yrs) and they are regular visitors to our new home we recently purchased! There is plenty of room for fun in the fenced garden and other very friendly dogs in the neighbourhood we may bump into on walks. I work from home so there will always be someone around for your furry friend. I work remotely full time, however I have a very active lifestyle and go for walks in the morning, lunch times and evenings. I also have a flexible work schedule and with enough notice can make day time walks work if required Our family dogs do not live with us, they are with my in-laws, however as retired parents should be, they are very keen travellers and we are very happy dog sitters! As mentioned, we have a fenced in garden and lots of surrounding areas for dog walks. I work from home so am around to monitor and keep fluffy friends company.
“We cannot thank James enough for looking after Rafferty. James kept us up to date with pic's of Raff enjoying himself. He obviously understands dogs really well and is so so patient.... we have an active little Jack Russell, and both James and his pup Benji put up with him for the night, taking great care of him and looking after him. I would 100% recommend James (and Benji) to anyone in the area.”
“Lucy was absolutely wonderful with Amba. She kept me updated with photos and messages, which really put my mind at ease. Amba looked happy and settled, and it was lovely to see how well she got on with Lucy’s dog, Babs. It was clear she was well looked after and had a great time. I wouldn’t hesitate to leave Amba with Lucy again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter. Thank you so much!”
“I’ve just collected my dog, Amba, after she stayed with Nadja for almost 3 weeks. Throughout her stay, I received regular updates, including lots of photos and videos which really reassured me that she was happy and very well cared for. It was clear she had a wonderful time. Nadja also informed me that Amba had an issue with her ear and took great care in cleaning it daily and monitoring it closely, which I really appreciated. I would definitely use Nadja again and would highly recommend her to others.”
About: I have been around dogs since childhood and have had a Border collie from a pup up to senior years. I have looked after my Daughters Hungarian Vizsla since he was a puppy and he is now 3 years old, I still have him a couple of days/nights a week since she has moved house. I am very confident with high energy dogs( you don't get much more energetic than a Collie and a Vizsla!😄. I love dogs of all breeds and ages (although I do have a soft spot for the oldies) and prefer their company to humans as I'm sure most dog owners do🥰. I have taken early retirement from a busy office job and love spending my mornings going for a walk at the local parks and woodland which I am very lucky to have close by. I have a good size garden for playtime and dogs are welcome for a snuggle on the sofa with a cosy blanket. I'm no longer working so will have plenty of free time with your pups for walks, play and cuddles. I am flexible throughout the week and weekends for boarding when available. I have a fenced in garden and am around all day if your dog is anxious and needs company. Also have a bouncy 3 year old Viszla to hand for playtime if they are happy to do so.I have a large crate available if this is what your dog is more comfortable using for sleeping and chill time.
“I can't recommend Lisa enough! From the moment I met her, I felt completely confident that Tank would be in great hands. Lisa is kind, professional, and truly passionate about animals. She kept me updated with adorable photos and messages throughout our time away, which gave me such peace of mind. Tank clearly adored her, and it was evident that she took the time to bond with him and was very sympathetic to his injury, issuing medication when required. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog, and I’ll absolutely be booking Lisa again in the future. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares for your pet, Lisa is the one! 5 stars without a doubt! Thank you!! X”
“My dog had a great time with Bea. I received regular updates and the communication was great. Lovely family environment, nice house & garden and their dog Luna is super friendly too. Thanks again Bea & family!”

About: I have grown up with cats all my life at home, ranging from Tabbies to a Norwegian Forest Cat. I have been trusted on my occassions to cat sit / drop-in visits to feed neighbours and friends cats. I love how independant cats can be but always know where home is for food and a cuddle. Used to cats of all ages from kittens to senior cats

I have looked after friends cats for 3 years now. Whether that’s been feeding, grooming or even popping in for playtime! Especially cats of all temperaments!

I had recently started to offer my services to others and would love to meet your lovely pets 😻❤️ Happy to chat sit, do drop in visits or any other required services please don’t hesitate to message me ☺️

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong cat lover with three cats of my own, so I know just how important it is to find someone who understands that every cat has their own unique personality and routine. Whether your cat is playful, shy, independent, or loves a cuddle, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I offer short visits, drop-ins, single-day pet sitting, and overnight house sitting, so your pets can stay happy in the comfort of their own home. I’ll follow their usual routine, whether that’s feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter trays, administering medication if needed, playtime, or simply keeping them company. While cats are my speciality, I’m also experienced with dogs. I regularly look after friends’ small and medium-sized dogs and grew up around my uncle’s Samoyeds and German Shepherds, so I’m confident caring for dogs with different personalities and energy levels too. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pets and home in someone else’s care. I’ll always treat your home with respect and keep you updated with regular messages and photos, so you can relax knowing your pets are happy and in safe hands. I’d love to meet you and your furry family members!
About: I've had 5 different pet cats throughout my life and I've loved every single one of them. I also have professional experience cat sitting in NYC through two different services (Barkly Pets and Oh To Be A Dog) where I visited people's flats and made sure their cats were well looked after. If you need someone in or around Hertford to house your cat while you're away or to pop in and visit them, I'm more than happy to help!
About: My family have always had pets! I have been brought up with cats, dogs, hamsters, guinea pigs. Animal care is my passion! My close family have cats and dogs, so if they’re busy or at work I do tend to help them out by taking them on walks. I have one cat, and I’m currently in the process of convincing my partner to rescue a dog with me! We both love animals so this is certainly the first step! I do work full time in a school, so I get all of the holidays off the same time as the students. However on the days that work, early morning walks/check ins or evening walks/check ins would be no issue at all. And of course there’s weekends that I’m free as well. My cat is super super loving and calm, my garden is fairly big and there’s a fence all the way around so there would be no safety issues
About: Hi there, I'm Tess. I am 25, and I work in the NHS, based in London. I have had cats and dogs my entire life, until the past 2 years as my landlord did not allow pets. I have recently moved to my own house and can get my own cats again, which I cannot wait for! When I worked remotely full time, I felt really quite lonely. I miss having a little fluffy presence to distract me from my laptop, and if there are babies (cats) who need company, and to bother someone on their laptop, then I can fill that gap. Now living in Hertford, I love it. The mix of countryside and town/city, I can't see myself anywhere else. I am enjoying exploring the area but my favourite part of outdoor walks, isn't the exercise but for making new friends and being honoured with four paws and an upright tail, even a fluffy tummy on display if I'm lucky! I enjoy pilates and running, but the rest of my time is spent reading a good book.
About: Cats have always held a special place in my heart. Ever since I was young, I’ve naturally gravitated toward them. I used to look after neighbours’ cats whenever they were away, and I quickly became the “go-to” person for reliable, loving care. Whether it was feeding, playing, or just giving them company, I’ve always found joy in caring for them. Every time I see a cat in the street, I can’t help but stop and say hello—often offering a bit of affection if they’re open to it. And when I’m on holiday, most people head for the beach or the shops—while I’m making sure the local cats are fed and comfortable. I always go the extra mile, especially for those that seem unwell or injured, making sure they get to a vet if needed. We also adopted a cat many years ago who didn’t have a regular home- despite our efforts to return him to his original home he kept coming back, therefore we took him in and he soon became a part of our family. Knowing that I can make even a small difference in a cat’s wellbeing is something I take very seriously. Over the years, I’ve become confident in understanding feline body language, and adjusting my care to meet the needs of each individual cat. I understand that no two cats are the same—some are shy and need patience, while others are bold and crave attention. I always take time to build trust and provide the right balance of comfort, stimulation, and calm, depending on what each cat needs. I’m also meticulous about cleanliness and routine. I ensure that litter trays are thoroughly cleaned and changed regularly, and food and water bowls are always fresh and hygienic. A clean environment is essential not just for their health, but also for their sense of safety. At home, I have a Ragdoll cat who is, quite literally, my baby—He’s spoiled in the best way: daily grooming sessions, playtime, high-quality food, and of course, endless cuddles. He has his own personality and I always make sure his emotional and physical needs are fully met. Caring for cats isn’t just something I do—it’s something I truly love. Their unique personalities, their quiet presence, and their trust mean everything to me. Whether it’s a nervous rescue cat needing gentle reassurance, or a confident cat who wants constant play, I’m always ready to provide attentive, compassionate care.
About: I have 5 cats in my family home. My cat put put has been my best friend since around age 4. I have a passion for cats and would love to meet more. I am young so I have stamina to play with any cat but also am calm and friendly to suit more quite cat needs.
About: We’ve grown up around and love cats! We’ve been asked to house sit our friends and family’s felines and have always been asked to come back to help again, We understand every kitty is different and therefor require different needs, so if you need us to be on hand to entertain your social friend or just pop in and feed/ water them if they don’t like strangers, we understand and will follow your guidance. We have look after cats with specific medication and medical needs so are also happy to help with that if needs to keep your mind as ease. Contact us to let us know if you need our help!

He understood Marnie might be a little unsettled at first and took the best care to help her relax with Benji & Taco. James made me feel so reassured throughout the day & clearly has such a passion and understanding for dogs. I’ll be using James again ☺️”
“Franceska looked after my puppy so well, who I appreciate can be really high energy. Maple came back so happy and I felt she was in such good hands so I felt so confident leaving her.

About: Hi, I’m Louise, I’m the proud owner of Woody, my big-hearted 4-year-old Labrador cross (with a mix of Collie, Greyhound and German Shepherd) — he’s a gentle giant who keeps me busy and reminds me every day how much joy dogs bring. Caring for dogs combines two of my biggest passions: spending time outdoors and sharing life with four-legged friends. I regularly look after family dogs and love taking them on long, fun walks. Whether it’s cuddles at home, playtime in the garden, or a good stretch of the legs, I’ll make sure your pet feels happy, safe, and loved while in my care. I understand that every dog has their own personality, needs, and quirks. My goal is to provide a flexible, reliable service that gives you peace of mind and gives your dog the same level of love and attention I give Woody. I’m a stay at home mum so fully flexible with any routine. My children are older teenagers who love dogs. I’m very flexible and caring. We have a fully fenced garden with plenty of room to run around. There is a local park across the road for easy access to walking and I can drive to larger parks/woodlands for exploring.

“My Cockapoo Jeanie had a great day at Carina’s house playing with her dog Bella and her daughter. She was treated like part of the family right away and made herself at home in Bella’s comfy bed. Played in the garden throughout the day and went on a nice walk too. It was so nice to receive update photos and messages while I was at work and I felt happy knowing she was being cared for and I didn’t have to worry. Thank you Carina, Jeanie looks forward to her next stay with you 🥰”
About: I have looked after a cat,dogs, chinchillas, hamsters, and Guinea pigs.This is from me owning them myself or pet Sitting for friends and families. I had to care for my sweet little boy since he was a tiny 2 week old after his mummy abandoned him. This was a great opportunity and a beautiful experience to have such a dependent baby kitten in my life. I needed to help him to learn how to use the toilet and had to feed him milk with a spoon. I had to make sure he was warm enough and giving lots of love and affection , which only made our bond stronger. This was very different to the older cats I've rescued in my life. I've also had 2 dogs so aware of dental care, wrapping them up warm in winter and giving them lots of stimulation throughout the day. I am currently on maternity leave so from now until April 2025.I am fully available as I am home all day. From April, I only go into the office one day a week and the rest of the time I am working from home so your furry/ fluffy friend will have my company throughout the day. As a pet owner myself, I understand the anxiety and stress that comes with trying to find a reliable sitter. I will always send pictures updates Or have my phone available for you to call and Check-in whenever you need to. Because that's exactly what I do I have a fenced off garden? I have had cats and dogs myself. So I understand the importance of. Check-in the areas if IM going out with your dog checking it. Say check if there's other big dogs around that your dog might be scared of if your cats come in here. Make sure that they have a safe place where they can hide a snug. If they just feel anxious I will have all the systems in place to go. I know exactly what my dogs and my cats were like,and how I felt been on the other end.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs - greyhounds, collies and labradors - and also now have a Labrador of my own. I love spending time with and getting to know new furry friends, and love going out for long walks and runs with them. I’d love to be able to help out local dog owners in and around Hertfordshire. I have a flexible work environment and work from home most of the week, so I’ll have plenty of time to spend with your fur baby. I spend most weekends out and about walking my own dog - a Labrador called Ginny - and she would absolutely love a fellow dog to keep her company (where appropriate). I have a house with a secure fenced garden, and with AstroTurf for dogs to easily do their business if needed! Any dog is more than welcome at our home and my dog would love the extra company. I’m able to help out with both day care and holidays.
“I was so so pleased. My furbaby had such an amazing time with Laurita. She looked after and doted on Coco as if she was her own, which makes my heart melt. My furbaby is my whole world and it really eased my mind at work knowing she was in excellent and safe hands. I honestly can’t thank her enough. Coco can’t wait to see her and her lovely dog Maya next :)”
“Very successful, and I am very pleased she did not miss us too much However I also need to make sure Yhozmin M can manage taking her for walks. So I will book again before we leave her for 9 days. Thank you”

“Jess has been absolutely fantastic. She’s been walking our boy regularly for the past month and it’s been such a positive experience. He took to her straight away and always looks like he comes back from his walks happy, which says it all. We’ve been so impressed that we’ve also booked her to look after Monty while we’re away. She’s reliable, flexible, and incredibly accommodating - especially when we’ve needed to change our usual day or time at fairly short notice. Couldn’t recommend her more highly.”

About: I’ve been lucky enough to have my very own sassy miniature dachshund for the last 5 years and he really does shape my life. Walks, runs, cuddles on the sofa, playtime with his toys or entertaining the “awww a sausage”, the way I care for Ralph is how I’d care for your fur-child too. I fully understand the trust to put into someone else to look after your pet and the place they hold in a family. I’ve grown up with pets all my life and feel comfortable with all ages from puppies to older dogs. I work Monday - Friday but I am home based for 3 days and my job is very flexible of it so pet care is no challenge for me considering I have Ralph myself anyway to take care of and he’s my priority. When I work from home I walk Ralph in the morning, take him out at lunchtime and walk him in the evening. If it’s raining it’s more of a challenge because he hates to go out but best believe we get out anyway! Of a weekend my days revolve around being outdoors, running, playing padel, going to the gym and seeing friends for coffee or the opposite and having quiet days in chilling out. Ralph comes everywhere with me so your pet can join, or they can stay at home together around walks and chill time with me. Whilst I’m in a flat it’s never been an issue for me. We have gated communal areas that can be used for sniffs and wees, but also lots of parks, walks and trails nearby. If I’m at my home I’m very happy for pets to have a cuddle on the sofa with me but I keep them in their own beds to sleep rather than mine. They would be fed at the times required and given time to settle in the home. If I were to housesit at your home, I would adapt to their usual routine.
About: I've been among dogs all my life. Whether it's my own family dog or my parents dogs. I love all kinds. And long, long walks. My daughter's dog comes to stay when she comes to stay. And at other times. She clearly enjoys her time here. We have plenty of space for running around here and adventure. And a huge grassy area used by dogs that has no surrounding busy roads. And dogs regularly meet. I like to offer variety on my walk routes, but the grassy area is a great way to start a walk and make new friends or me old favourites. I work from home and in the events industry. My work dates are arranged in advance. So that I can easily fit my dog care around it. Almost limitless amounts of space here to work off some energy. And plenty of sofa space for naps or sleeps. No other animals live here and it is very quiet and peaceful. There's plenty of space in the car and I can provide a crate if needed.
About: I’ve spent many years caring for my grandparents’ dogs and have always enjoyed being around dogs of all sizes and personalities. Through regular walks, feeding, playtime and looking after them while family were away, I’ve learned how important it is to keep pets happy, comfortable and following their normal routine. I understand that every dog is different, so I’ll always take the time to get to know their personality, energy levels and any specific needs they have. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, plenty of play or simply relaxing with company, I’ll make sure they receive the care and attention they deserve. I’ll also keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your dog is safe, happy and well looked after. I offer flexible pet care around my work schedule and keep my availability on Rover fully up to date. I regularly provide dog walks and drop-in visits throughout the week, with occasional house sitting when my schedule allows. When I accept a booking, I’ll always ensure I have the time to give your pet the attention, exercise and companionship they deserve. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you know exactly how they’re getting on. Your pet’s safety, comfort and routine are my top priorities. During walks, I’ll always keep dogs on a lead unless you’ve specifically requested otherwise and it’s safe to do so. For drop-in visits and house sitting, I’ll carefully follow your feeding schedule, medication instructions, walking routine and any house rules you’ve provided. I understand that every pet is different, so I’ll take the time to get to know their personality and make sure they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I’ll treat both your home and your pet with the same care and respect that I would expect for my own.
About: Hi, I’m Louise, I’m the proud owner of Woody, my big-hearted 4-year-old Labrador cross (with a mix of Collie, Greyhound and German Shepherd) — he’s a gentle giant who keeps me busy and reminds me every day how much joy dogs bring. Caring for dogs combines two of my biggest passions: spending time outdoors and sharing life with four-legged friends. I regularly look after family dogs and love taking them on long, fun walks. Whether it’s cuddles at home, playtime in the garden, or a good stretch of the legs, I’ll make sure your pet feels happy, safe, and loved while in my care. I understand that every dog has their own personality, needs, and quirks. My goal is to provide a flexible, reliable service that gives you peace of mind and gives your dog the same level of love and attention I give Woody. I’m a stay at home mum so fully flexible with any routine. My children are older teenagers who love dogs. I’m very flexible and caring. We have a fully fenced garden with plenty of room to run around. There is a local park across the road for easy access to walking and I can drive to larger parks/woodlands for exploring.
About: Hi, I’m Amy! 🐾 I’m a passionate animal lover who has grown up with dogs my entire life, so caring for them comes naturally to me. Over the years, I’ve had lots of experience dog sitting for family and friends, looking after everything from energetic puppies to older dogs who need a gentler routine. My priority is always to make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’m reliable, patient, and committed to keeping their routine as consistent as possible—whether that’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just lots of cuddles. I know every dog (and owner!) is different, so I’m happy to work around your pet’s individual needs. Please feel free to enquire for times so we can match up and make sure your pup is well looked after. ☺️ Pet sitting fits really well into my schedule as I’m able to work flexibly and adjust my time around the needs of the dogs I care for. I have availability most weekends and can often work around weekday requests too, depending on your requirements. I’m happy to discuss times so we can find the best fit for both you and your pup. 🐾 I have a quiet, pet-friendly home with a large garden, and I’m conveniently located near green spaces and plenty of parks—perfect for lots of lovely walks and outdoor adventures.
About: With years of hands-on experience as a devoted dog owner, I bring a deep understanding of canine behavior, needs, and communication. What makes me unique is my intuitive approach to individual dog personalities. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all care. Whether it’s building trust with a rescue, managing high-energy breeds, or creating routines that support both mental stimulation and calm, I tailor my approach to each dog’s temperament, age, and background. From daily walks and training reinforcement to grooming, nutrition, and health monitoring, I treat every dog as if they were my own. Over the years, I’ve cared for puppies, seniors dogs, gaining practical knowledge in everything from socialization to medication management. I’m not just experienced—I’m passionate. Dogs aren’t just pets; they’re companions, and family. That belief drives my commitment to giving them the best life possible. I am available morning noon and night I can also come and walk your dog whenever you need. I can also do long or short term boarding. I’m an active, animal-loving woman with a real passion for spending time with dogs. I have a secure, fenced garden that’s perfect for safe outdoor play, plus I’m lucky to live near beautiful open fields—ideal for long, enriching walks and plenty of sniffing adventures! I truly understand that dogs are sensitive, social animals who don’t enjoy being left alone. That’s why I’m committed to giving them plenty of attention, companionship, and care throughout the day. I love to play, cuddle, and simply be present with them, making sure they feel relaxed, happy, and loved at all times.

About: We have grown up around dogs and cats all our lives! (Among many other furry and non-furry friends) We’ve been asked multiple friends and family to look after their pets and have always been asked to come back. We have looked after and are happy to look after high maintenance pets. We’ve looked after dogs with grooming and bathing requirements, dogs with specific medication and medical needs and even anxious dogs who just need company and some reassurance.

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life—cats, dogs, and everything in between—and caring for them comes naturally to me. I understand that every pet has their own personality, preferences, and pace, and I’m always patient and respectful of that. Whether it’s going for a walk, giving belly rubs, playing fetch, or just being there for quiet company, I love connecting with pets and making them feel safe and loved. You can count on me to treat your pet like one of my own—with kindness, attention, and care. I’m currently working from home so have a lot of availability through the week and on weekends if needed. Can drive a reasonable distance from Harlow i have a fully secure garden. With one small dog in the house, no children. I’m a very responsible dog owner and often care for friends and family animals
About: While I’ve spent a lot of time caring for cats, my love for dogs is just as strong—and I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments through sitting for friends, family, and neighbours over the years. From playful puppies to older dogs who need a slower pace, I’ve cared for them all. I understand how important consistency, calm energy, and clear communication are when it comes to looking after dogs—especially when they’re adjusting to someone new. Whether it’s sticking to a regular feeding routine, administering oral medication, or making sure they get enough exercise and attention, I’m dedicated to giving every dog the personalised care they deserve and acknowledging when your pet requires nurturing, affection and play time. I’m confident with walking, feeding, basic grooming (like brushing and wiping muddy paws!), and giving your dog the companionship they need while you’re away. I also make sure to learn each dog’s individual personality and preferences—some love long walks, others prefer cuddles and quiet time—and I adjust my care accordingly. Although I don’t currently have a dog of my own, it’s always been a dream of mine—so caring for yours is truly meaningful to me. I’ll treat them like part of the family, ensuring they’re safe, comfortable, and most importantly, happy! I currently have a commitment which durates to just 3 hours a day, Monday to Friday (3 PM – 6 PM), which leaves me with plenty of time and energy to care for your furry family members! 🐾 I’m available and flexible every day—including weekends and bank holidays—and I’m more than happy to work around your schedule. Whether you need early morning check-ins, midday walks, evening cuddles, full-day care or even overnight stays, I’ll do my best to accommodate your needs. Your pet’s comfort and routine come first, and I’m here to make things as smooth and stress-free as possible for both the family and your pet. At home, I have one very spoiled Ragdoll cat who even has his own house attached to ours! While he’s a house cat, we’ve created a safe, secure outdoor space so he can explore freely. He’s treated like royalty—endless cuddles, enrichment, and affection—and I bring that same level of care and compassion to every pet I look after. Although I don’t currently have a dog of my own, I’ve always dreamed of having one. So caring for your baby will genuinely fill a little hole in my heart 💛 Whether it’s long walks, playtime in the garden, or just a comfy cuddle session, I’m ready to give your pet the same love and care I give my own. Although I understand that every pet is different, I acknowledge their individual needs and always provide the best possible care for them. Whether your pet is shy, energetic, senior, or needs medication or special attention—I adapt to their personality and routine to ensure they feel completely safe, relaxed, and happy while you’re away.
About: Me and my partner James have a mutual love for dogs, and we understand how hard it is to leave your furbaby's with anyone whilst you are away, which is why we have opened up our home to give dogs the love care and attention that you would expect to find in their own home. We ensure that you are updated numerous times a day with pictures and videos of your pooch to put your mind at ease and to show that they have the best time, even though I'm sure missing you very much ♥️🐾 Rudi is our very spoilt, pampered pooch A.K.A our child, who loves other dogs and making new friends, whether that's constant play time for the more energetic dogs, or just chilling and napping for the older relaxed dogs! We believe that dogs should be treated like children, and the care of your pooch is of the upmost importance! If you feel that our home would be the perfect place for your fur baby, please send us a message and we can arrange a meet and greet which will allow both you and your pup to get to know us all, we can meet at the local field and then come back to our home so your dogs feels comfortable in the environment (and also you) Once you have booked in and arrived for the stay (boarding/day care) your pup will be greeted by our handsome boy Rudi, with a puppuccino and biscuit, in paw. They will then run off into the large fenced garden with plenty of room to stretch their legs, and play with unlimited toys, there is even a dog jacuzzi (aka dog swimming pool - summer months only) After they have finished playing, and had time to relax, we will take them on a nice long walk where they can sniff until their heart’s content. (If your dog requires less or more activity then please make us aware and we can accommodate) When we return home from the walk, we will give them the spa package by giving them a nice warm bath, making them smell like roses and feel relaxed! (This is an optional service, at the owner's request, free of charge. This also depends on if the dog will feel comfortable as we would not want to put them under any stress) We will then give your pup lots of cuddles and attention, before tucking them in at night time, where they can either stay in the master bedroom with us, or downstairs on the sofa/floor wherever they prefer.

“Andrea was absolutely brilliant! I needed to board my dog at her place for a night at very short notice, and she couldn't have been more accommodating. She kept me fully informed throughout with photos and videos, which put my mind at ease. The whole process was so easy for all of us. My dog, Taxi clearly had a fantastic time – the photos speak for themselves! I would definitely recommend Andrea to anyone. She's been absolutely fabulous.”
“We highly recommend Lidia. She was really communicative and sent lots of photos. Our dog Honey has separation anxiety and she was super understanding and we could tell that Honey had a great time. Would definitely use again”

“Lucy was absolutely wonderful with Amba. She kept me updated with photos and messages, which really put my mind at ease. Amba looked happy and settled, and it was lovely to see how well she got on with Lucy’s dog, Babs. It was clear she was well looked after and had a great time. I wouldn’t hesitate to leave Amba with Lucy again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter. Thank you so much!”
“I’ve just collected my dog, Amba, after she stayed with Nadja for almost 3 weeks. Throughout her stay, I received regular updates, including lots of photos and videos which really reassured me that she was happy and very well cared for. It was clear she had a wonderful time. Nadja also informed me that Amba had an issue with her ear and took great care in cleaning it daily and monitoring it closely, which I really appreciated. I would definitely use Nadja again and would highly recommend her to others.”
“I can't recommend Lisa enough! From the moment I met her, I felt completely confident that Tank would be in great hands. Lisa is kind, professional, and truly passionate about animals. She kept me updated with adorable photos and messages throughout our time away, which gave me such peace of mind. Tank clearly adored her, and it was evident that she took the time to bond with him and was very sympathetic to his injury, issuing medication when required. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog, and I’ll absolutely be booking Lisa again in the future. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares for your pet, Lisa is the one! 5 stars without a doubt! Thank you!! X”
About: I absolutely adore dogs and cats and have been around them and have taken care of them throughout most of my life. I have a professional background in pet care as I have worked for two different services while living in New York City (Barkly Pets and Oh To Be A Dog) where I traveled all around the city visiting and walking dogs. It was one of my favorite jobs I've ever had and it would be my pleasure to help out anyone in or around Hertford who need someone to look after this furry little friend! I'm currently working part time and will either have the day or evening fully open on weekdays to walk or visit your pet! During the weekend, I am more than happy to be fully available to have your pet stay here in my home. I have a very flexible schedule so I can more than likely adhere to your schedule and needs! I live in a house in Hertford that has a fairly small fenced in garden where your pet can use to relieve themselves or sunbathe. I also have a very cool basement where your pet can go if it's a bit too warm outside. There is also a huge and beautiful park right near my house where I can take your dog for nice long walk as well. I will make sure to have water and snacks on hand as well if they are ever hungry or thirsty as well.
“Holly has been to stay with Andrew a couple of times. Andrew is always highly responsive and reliable. Holly is very comfortable staying with Andrew and will run into the house on arrival. I would highly recommend Andrew for pet boarding”
“Reached out to Julian last minute, he gladly accepted and was very accommodating to my request to have a meet and greet beforehand. He looked after my dog for an over night stay, took him out for lovely long walks and gave him lots of fuss and attention. Also sent plenty of updates so I knew all was going well. I have already booked Julian in again!”
“Gen was exceptional with Elsa - warm, attentive, and clearly knowledgeable about dogs. She took the time to understand Elsa’s needs and routine, and kept us updated with regular photos and messages. Gen has lovely dog walking routes nearby and makes sure each dog is well cared for both physically and emotionally. She’s exactly the kind of intelligent, compassionate carer you’d hope to find. We felt at ease leaving Elsa in her care. Highly recommended.”
“We could not recommend Jessica more highly! She walks our Monty regularly and last week, while we were away on holiday, he stayed with her for the first time after a successful trial day. As the owner of a fairly high-energy dachshund, I’m always a little nervous leaving him with other people. When Monty gets hyper he can be a lot to handle, but it’s so clear that Jessica has a fantastic way with dogs. He had the best week with her! She quickly picked up on all of his little routines and cues (he’s very much a creature of habit!) and kept us updated every day with photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. When we picked him up, it was obvious how settled and comfortable he’d become with her, which was so lovely to see. Jessica is absolutely fantastic and we wouldn’t hesitate to book boarding with her again. We’ll definitely continue using her for Monty’s weekly walks too. Truly could not praise her more highly!”
“Demitria was great. Alfie had an amazing time with her, it was like a mini holiday and she took great care of him. The daily updates were really good. I would definitely recommend and will book again soon :)”

“Great dog sitter. My dog is an older dog and Lauren put effort into understanding my dogs needs and then looked after him over Christmas. Got updates, videos, and photos regularly and my dog came back a very happy boy. Thanks, highly recommend.”
“Lauren was great, really put in a lot of effort and making teddy feel at home and gave him lots of attention and love. And kept us updated with great pictures and videos making us feel very at ease while away on holiday! Would highly recommend and will be using again x”

I also met Candice his wife who is lovely and you can see they both love dogs very much. Thank you both so much and Nala will definitely be staying with you again soon! 💗🙏🏼”
“We had a great experience with Ria looking after our labradoodle, Jasper. She is such a lovely, kind, and polite person, and she took wonderful care of him. It was clear Jasper was comfortable and well cared for, which meant a lot to us. We highly recommend Ria as a dog sitter.”
