“This was our first time using Rover. Jill and her family took our 7 month old Lab (Toffee) into their home for 6 days. Jill provided regular updates with photographs while we were away, allowing us to enjoy our holiday in the knowledge that Toffee was in very safe and loving hands. We couldn't rate Jill highly enough.”
“Lipa was so well cared for. She's old and has specific issues but Laura was very understanding, caring and Lipa loved her time with Laura. Laura completely fulfills the individual dogs' needs. Would highly recommend ans will book again.”
“Jodie was wonderful with Lipa. She understood the potential issues with her age and kept in touch with me to reassure me. Lipa was extremely happy when we picked her up and we will definitely book Jodie again. Thank you so much!”
“Tom looked after Enola (our 18 month old flat coat retriever) and she had a great time. Tom was super flexible and kept us informed about our dog happiness with overwhelming us with information! We were able to kick back and enjoy a local festival (that did not allow dogs)!!”
“Judit and her lovely family made my dogs so welcome. They really looked after them and we received regular updates, photos and videos and it was so reassuring to see them having such a lovely time. I would definitely recommend them 100% and would definitely use them again in the future. Thank you guys :) xx”
“Mac’s stay with Emma was great. I think he had a nice holiday while I was away on my holiday. He settled back into his routine at home quickly and he is very happy so that shows he was well looked after by Emma and her family. Thanks Emma.”
“I couldn’t have hoped for better! Monica was amazing with my nervous and reactive rescue dog. She was patient and kind. He was comfortable with her in no time. Her communication was excellent and we had regular updates and pictures/video. She followed my directions to the letter. It was like my dog had a little holiday himself as Monica loved him like he was her own. Thank you so much!!!”
“Such a wonderful second home for our dog to stay when we went away with lots of space for him. Sarah is a great dog sitter and would highly recommend. The communication from Sarah was perfect.”
“Thank you Hannah. You made May so welcome on such a hit day and had thought of everything. She clearly had a lovely time and even made a friend in Buddy. She slept so well last night and we could hear her having lovely dreams so a very happy pooch. Hopefully see you again soon. ☺️”
“Chelsea is amazing! She took great care of our dog, sending regular updates and photos so we could stay connected while we were away. Her communication was excellent, and it was clear she had a real connection with our pomeranian- he didn't want to leave her house at the end of the stay! We'll definitely be booking her again in the future. Highly recommended!”
“Luba took amazing care of my female German Shepherd over the three days she stayed with her. From the moment I dropped her off, I knew she was in great hands. Luba kept me updated with lots of photos and messages throughout her stay, which gave me real peace of mind. It was clear my dog was having a fantastic time and was being treated like one of the family. She looked so happy and relaxed that I honestly don't think she wanted to come home! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Luba to anyone looking for someone who genuinely loves and cares for dogs. I'll definitely be booking with her again very soon. Thank you, Luba!”
“Shelley was excellent at looking after Hunter for the day, she didn't mind me arriving early in morning and she took care rest! Hunter was well looked after and had an amazing time. He was well tired when he got back home :)”
“Frances is a fab dog sitter, Luna is very excited to be with her. She provides a loving caring home for Luna and I can focus on my other responsibilities knowing she is in the best care. Thank you Frances, we’ll be back again ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Our Miniature Schnauzer was very content staying with Claire. Claire is always prompt in replying to messages and takes the time to listen when you explain your pet’s individual quirks, habits, and daily routine. My wife and I would have no hesitation in using Claire again in the future and would happily recommend her to others.”
“Mia is an exceptional host for Rover, both Lexi & Marley have really enjoyed there stay with Mia, l will be 100% be booking again when l need to be away from home.

“This is the first time I have used Rover and I must say it’s a very positive experience. Kirsteen agreed to look after my two dogs for 6 days/nights, she was very a very warm, welcoming host, we went for a short walk on the drop off day so it made the handover very smooth. I received photos and a message or two most days and when I picked them up there was waggy tails and happy faces all round 🙂🐶🐶 All in all, I would highly recommend Kirsteen to look after your dogs and I would very happily leave my dogs with Kirsteen again and will do in the future.”
“Megan was very responsive to communication, was very accommodating and provided a great home away from home for Peggy. I would not hesitate in using Megan again and recommending her to anyone who wants a safe and secure environment for their dog.”

“Megan was a great cat sitter! Houdini was very happy and comfortable with her as soon as he met her when she came round for a meet and greet. She sent me lots of photos and I could see how well she was looking after him. I would be very happy to use Megan again.”
“Once again Amanda has looked after Houdini (cat) amazingly well. I thoroughly recommend Amanda for cat care. She takes the time to sit and play with Houdini and make a fuss of him, which he loves.”
“Would definitely recommend Reanna! She was very friendly and responsive after enquiring about booking. She kept us updated on our 2 kitties whilst we were away, sending photos and letting us know how they were. Will ask her to look after our pets again 100%! ”
“pleasant friendly good with my cat. The only downside was timings of feeding which is probably why my cat didn't eat the food as it was far too early, and the other time a little late, but cats are picky at the best of times especially when their owners go away. My little fluff ball of a cat came to no harm she got over me going away fast enough. It was a comfort to know that my cat was getting a visit whilst I was away.”
About: I grew up with domestic shorthair cats and my first pets as an adult was a pair of rescue cats from the RSPCA. Following the birth of my son, I purchased a ragdoll cross for my daughter to teach her the responsibility of pet owning but also the love an animal can bring to someone's life.
About: Having had cats throughout my childhood, in my 30's i did an animal care course and have worked with animals since. I worked for the RSPCA at a rescue centre taking care of the boys and girls that came in and got them fit and healthy for there new homes. I lived abroad for a few years where i built up my own clients where i walked and did pop in visits, vet visits and helped with medication, and also spent alot of time with the local cat organisations feeding and caring for the street cats.
About: I’ve grown up around animals and have experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I’m calm, patient, and reliable, and I always follow each pet’s routine closely. I prefer one-on-one walks so I can give dogs my full attention and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I’m happy to help with feeding, fresh water, playtime, and lots of affection, and I take responsibility and trust very seriously. I currently have a flexible schedule, which means I’m able to fit pet care easily into my daily routine. I’m available for walks and drop-in visits during weekdays and weekends, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual routine to keep things consistent and stress-free. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priority. I follow instructions carefully, respect your home, and keep pets on leads unless told otherwise. I make sure doors and gates are secure, routines are followed closely, and pets feel calm, safe, and well cared for at all times.
“Charlotte was brilliant and so wonderful with Rusty, it was the first time we have left him and had someone come in to see him and let him out. Even though he was a little nervous Charlotte communicated with me straight away and encouraged him gently out into the garden for a wee and a play. Charlotte communicated with me the whole time she was with Rusty and really reassured me that he was okay! Thank you for being so lovely and brilliant with Rusty”
“Lucia was wonderful at looking after our 3 cats whilst we were away; she gave us updates on how they were and gave our elderly cat her medication. Came home to happy cats :) Thank you Lucia! Looking forward to next time ”
“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.”
“Paula was so very kind and caring towards our cat and helped very much even when he was unwell. She kept in touch and sent pictures and videos of him. We were so grateful to have her here with him for peace of mind. She even cleaned the house before leaving which was so thoughtful. We will definitely use her again in the future.”
About: Growing up around animals I have gained experience in loving for horses, dogs, cats, reptiles and many more! I currently own two lovely girl rats (Luna and CC) and a puppy Finn! I am keen to transfer my animal loving nature towards your furry (or otherwise) children! I have owned many dogs through my time around animals big and small, I will attach some pictures of my previous pups down below! In my early years I owned a lovely pony called Rio, which involved early mornings and late nights of TLC. I own my own vehicle as well as a range of dog seat belt sizes, so if your dog enjoys time at the beach or would just enjoy some new scenery I can accommodate that too! No ask is too much! I work part time Wednesday to Saturday 9-5:30 so anything before or after those hours works great! Monday, Tuesday and Sunday I am fully flexible for you! Due to me and partner having small animals in my home for your pets safety and theirs I am only able to pet sit over night in your home, or if your animal is okay being on their own, and you just need me to pop by for potty breaks, walks or feeding/medication, I can do that too!
“It has been a lovely experience having Allie care for our cat Lucy while we were away. She dropped in around the same time every day, providing lovely consistency for our cat. She sent a nice update with pictures included which gave us peace of mind. Allie is friendly and sweet in person, and made sure our cat got a nice fuss, groom and a cuddle on top of keeping her fed and watered. Thank you so much, Allie!”

About: I’ve had cats since I was young and have always felt drawn to them. They are wonderful creatures and each and every one of them has such a unique personality. Rest assured when I’m caring for your cat they will be treated like the royalty each of them believe themselves to be. Cats can become very attached to a single person and dislike anyone else. It takes time to build that trust and I won’t push your cats boundaries. Im a very patient person and love to earn the connection with a cat. While you’re away your cat will be treated like family and I’ll make sure that they are happy and that you’re also happy with daily updates and photos. If your cat likes to play then we will get some toys and play, or maybe your cat just likes to have company and wants some pets. Whatever your cats requires I’m here to accommodate. Just let me know what your cat requires and it will be done. I look forward to hearing from you -Ben
About: I’ve grown up with and taken care of dogs my whole life. Everyone around me knows my strong love for dogs and therefore have relied on me to look after their pets when busy. I’ve recently lost by beloved dog and best friend Maggie (the beautiful Dalmatian in my profile pictures) who I’ve grown up with since I was 8 years old. I’ve been struggling to cope after her passing as I’ve always been used to having the loving company of a four legged friend. This is why I’ve wanted to reach out and look after other dogs as I not only want to help other people look after their dogs but because it will also benefit my bereavement. I have looked after dogs of many different sizes so adapting to this isn’t a problem for me:) I’m currently studying psychology at the university of Lincoln in my last and final year. I would love to use my free time to help people with dog walking and dog sitting as I have always loved dogs and this is one of my favourite things to do. I’m flexible as I have good availability across the week and weekends. I am confident and have experience with high-energy dogs, nervous dogs, reactive dogs etc. I understand how much trust is needed when looking after your furry friends so I can guarantee they will be treated as if they were my own.
About: I’m a fun, caring animal lover who just wants the best for all animals! I currently volunteer at the Blue Cross and I’ve previously run a kennels & cattery so am confident with dogs and cats of all shapes, sizes and breeds. I’ve also worked for 2 zoos - one a mobile zoo with smaller animals such as reptiles and meerkats and the other a large zoo with everything from penguins to zebras so I’m used to a whole host of animal traits and characters, as well as meeting their needs. My work is very flexible and I work from home most of the time - if I do need to go out I often take the dog/s staying with me along, so they can enjoy a walk somewhere new at the same time🙂 My approach to looking after your pets? With love! Having had my own dogs since I was a child and more recently lost my elderly Mastiff cross Bordeaux, I know what it’s like as an owner to leave your pet with someone else. I therefore aim to make both you and your pet as comfortable as can be while you’re away and am very flexible to meets yours and their needs.
About: I‘ve always been a dog lover and have always been responsible for looking after friends and family’s pets since I was about 14. I am patient and love any four legged friend and their individual personalities!!!! I work from home and can walk the doggos morning, lunchtime and evenings. I can also take them out for potty breaks too as often as needed☺️ I have a big open space in the flat and lots of green spaces nearby, can easily provide a crate and bed if needed :)

“Jill was prompt to arrange a pre-meet and took lots of details ahead of the actual booking, and took time to learn about Monty ahead of his stay. On the actual day, Jill sent lots of photos and messages reassuring us that he was settled and enjoying himself. Would definitely use again.”

About: Working from home on my product brand means either laying in the sun or cuddled up on the sofa. Being available all day means my dog Marco gets constant attention, it’s just a shame he’s more interested in other dogs affection. Your dog gets genuinely real constant company. I’m fully available to pay as much attention as the dog needs, I work around my dogs need for affection. We like to, cuddle, train and go for long walks on the beach. I have an enclosed garden with patio and grass for playing in. Marco is happy to share his toys. The house is a free for all for my dog.
About: I’ve taken care of my cocker spaniel for 17 years until he recently passed of old age. I have grown up looking after family/friends animals and just miss being around fluffy friends! I am currently a healthcare support worker at the local hospital caring for dementia patients. I create my own schedule so I am very flexible. I have a fenced in garden and a small dog crate if needed. My house is used to an elderly dog who had lots of accidents so we have hard flooring.
“Hannah has been absolutely fantastic with Teddy and they really bonded. Teddy loves it when we tell him he's going to Hannah's. I can sincerely recommend Hannah to look after your dog.”
“Monica had Milo for the day, ahead of looking after him when we have our holiday. Milo had a great time with lots of attention, play time and walks. We can 100% recommend Monica and feel totally happy that Milo will receive all the care and love he enjoys.”

About: What sets me apart is the constant care and attention your dog will receive. I spent a lot of time with our family bulldog Drax, who has since passed, so I have real, hands-on experience with daily dog care and a deep understanding of their needs. I work from home, so dogs are never left alone and get plenty of companionship throughout the day. Depending on the age and health of your dog we can make walks on my lunch break longer or shorter, and adjust any weekend activities! I have a sunny, fenced garden with patio doors so your pup can enjoy being indoors and out, we also have a field at the back for nice walks.
About: I have been caring for dogs of all kinds since I was 14 years old. Neighbors, friends, and family regularly rely on my help when it comes to pet sitting, feeding, and taking dogs for long, active walks. In 2021, I gained experience working at a dog daycare for six months, where I learned how to manage groups of dogs and care for their diverse needs. I have experience with both energetic puppies and senior dogs. I treat every pet individually, prioritizing their safety and well-being. Dogs are my passion, and spending time with them brings me genuine joy. Unfortunately, I don't currently have any pets. I would like to have a dog in the future but I can't afford it right now. I am currently studing, which allows me to be very flexible with my schedule. I attend classes only on Fridays and Saturdays, so I am fully available to care for your pets from Sunday to Thursday. I am dedicated to my personal growth and treat pet sitting with great responsibility, ensuring I have plenty of time for walks, play, and proper care throughout the week. Safety and trust are my top priorities. When caring for pets, I ensure a secure and calm environment tailored to their needs. I am a person who constantly learns and develops new skills to provide the best possible care. Whether in my home or yours, I maintain a strict routine, keep a close eye on the animals at all times, and make sure they feel comfortable and loved while their owners are away. If I am carrying for owners dogs I usually send pictures every single day to show that their pupils are safe and happy.

I work from home so plenty of toilet breaks and multiple cuddles during the day
About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life. Since I was young, I’ve loved caring for stray dogs and helping them whenever possible. When I was 16, my family adopted a dog, and I’ve been responsible for daily care including feeding, walking, playing, and spending quality time together. I understand that every dog has a different personality, and I’m patient, gentle, and committed to making pets feel happy and secure. I currently have a flexible schedule and am available to provide pet care throughout the week. Even when I start a part-time job, I will carefully manage my schedule to make sure I have enough time for walks, feeding, playtime, and giving pets the attention they need. I will always communicate my availability clearly and be reliable. I always follow each pet owner’s instructions carefully and make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I pay close attention to their routines, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special needs. I keep the environment clean, never leave pets unattended in unsafe situations, and provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident while they’re away.

About: I have been a pet sitter for my family members for over ten years now. I have had my own dogs since birth. I have trained as a dog groomer and was a dog groomer for four years. I have volunteered at the blue cross and a dog training academy. I am about to start a University degree in Wildlife, Ecology and Conservation. I am passionate about animals and their care. I am starting a full time university course in September but I believe it is only a few days a week so I will have lots of free time to spend with the pets! I am very happy to follow care plans laid out by the owner and I can also follow my own judgement from my years of experience with working with dogs. I love to play with the dogs and also love to sit and cuddle too!
About: I have experience with dogs of all sizes from my 2 Staffordshire Bull Terriers ( sadly passed in 2023) to family pets of Yorkshire Terrier, Lhasa Apso and Jack Russell as well as Romanian Rescue Mix breeds. My current only Pet is my Cat Ledra who appeared at a time I wasnt expecting to adopt another animal however she had other ideas - I was on holiday in Crete and the Hotel had a family of stray Cats living there. On the first evening the Mother cat who was now tiring of her growing kittens decided to jump up onto our balcony and into our room where she quickly found a soft space to fall into the deepest most relaxed sleep, something it seemed she hadn't experienced much of in her life on the streets. She stayed close to us and decided I was to be her human. I managed to find local fosters who came and looked after her while I arranged with a rescue charity to have her flown to the UK where she was re united with us and has been pampered ever since. If you have a dog that requires a longer walk and who prefers to be solo rather than in a larger group then they would fit right in with my routine. Senior dogs who also prefer a gentle solo walk can also easily be catered for. I have plenty of time that I want to dedicate to my love of walking and animals. I used to walk my 2 Staffies miles each day and now they have sadly passed I still love getting out for long walks and would love to have your dog along to join me. I will walk your dog 1 to 1 on lead and ideally will be going for long walks around the Trimley Nature Reserve or the Felixstowe Coast We will have a discussion prior to any session where you can outlay what you require and what we expect from eachother. Rest assured I will treat your pet and home with the care and respect it deserves.
About: My biggest so far challenge, was my “staff”breed. In fact, with lots of love, and an appropriate training approach, we bonded perfectly. Once or twice, i walked four “wiggle wags”at the same time, handful of treats worked just as well, we made a one “great pack” effort. A Caring for well-being of your pets will be depending on binding a joy of life, healthy snacks, and a cosy rest. I am self employed and managing most of my own schedule. I will find a time and i can fit in a pet care in, at my best. a Big garden with secured fencing, plus live next to one of the biggest parks in town, so if the pet dog is in need of good run, surely can provide that.
“Jasmine is reliable, helpful and importantly attentive to my pooches needs. William is well looked after on his walks. Having a walker is a new thing for us and I could not recommend anyone more. Thanks Jasmine!”
About: My first job was at the local farm in the petting farm section and I’ve had a passion for animals ever since. I grew up with a German Shepherd and have since owned a Border Terrier and German Spitz. I also have two cats, a rescue and a domestic cross ragdoll kitten. I’m looking to work more with animals as this is where my passion lies so would love to work more in pet sitting and dog/cat care to remove hours within my employed role. Before being left with your pet I would ask plenty of questions on the care required for your pet as well as highlighting any areas which may concern me if needed. I’m confident in calling either the owner or vet if needed and have cared for a variety of pets to know when I should be concerned and when they are simply tired and need a rest!

About: I've been caring for dogs since I was around 12, helping friends, family and neighbours with dog walks, feeding, visiting, bathing and playtime. Particularly breeds small/medium but I'm comfortable with dogs of all sizes, ages and breeds. I am available between the hours of 1230-1430 and after 1800hrs during the week due to my working hours and available at weekends. However, during school holidays I am available in the afternoons from 1230 onwards to assist with both yours and your pet's needs, whether that is for walks, playtime, or lunch time check-ins. As a pet owner myself to 2 cats and having grown up with dogs, I know how important it is to make sure every pet feels safe, healthy, and loved. I take dietary needs seriously and always follow instructions to keep pets on their usual routine. With my own long-haired cats, I understand the importance of regular grooming to keep coats healthy and tangle free. I have had some work experience at a friend’s dog grooming business and I am comfortable bathing dogs of various sizes. I also have an enhanced DBS check. I will do everything I can to ensure that your pet gets the attention and affection they need to be happy and feel safe in my care. I am currently working part-time during the week and I am flexible between 0730-1400hrs any day in the week and at weekends for drop-ins, walks and playtime! I am open to work with you to make certain that both yours and your pets needs are met and to make sure that your dog (or cat) is thriving in my care and at their happiest. I am happy to follow strict instructions if required. At this time I am unable to offer my own home for pet sitting as I have 2 indoor cats that are not familiar with dogs.
About: I’ve grown up with and taken care of dogs my whole life. Everyone around me knows my strong love for dogs and therefore have relied on me to look after their pets when busy. I’ve recently lost by beloved dog and best friend Maggie (the beautiful Dalmatian in my profile pictures) who I’ve grown up with since I was 8 years old. I’ve been struggling to cope after her passing as I’ve always been used to having the loving company of a four legged friend. This is why I’ve wanted to reach out and look after other dogs as I not only want to help other people look after their dogs but because it will also benefit my bereavement. I have looked after dogs of many different sizes so adapting to this isn’t a problem for me:) I’m currently studying psychology at the university of Lincoln in my last and final year. I would love to use my free time to help people with dog walking and dog sitting as I have always loved dogs and this is one of my favourite things to do. I’m flexible as I have good availability across the week and weekends. I am confident and have experience with high-energy dogs, nervous dogs, reactive dogs etc. I understand how much trust is needed when looking after your furry friends so I can guarantee they will be treated as if they were my own.

I currently volunteer at the Blue Cross and I’ve previously run a kennels & cattery so am confident with dogs and cats of all shapes, sizes and breeds. I’ve also worked for 2 zoos - one a mobile zoo with smaller animals such as reptiles and meerkats and the other a large zoo with everything from penguins to zebras so I’m used to a whole host of animal traits and characters, as well as meeting their needs. My work is very flexible and I work from home most of the time - if I do need to go out I often take the dog/s staying with me along, so they can enjoy a walk somewhere new at the same time🙂 My approach to looking after your pets? With love! Having had my own dogs since I was a child and more recently lost my elderly Mastiff cross Bordeaux, I know what it’s like as an owner to leave your pet with someone else.

“Judit and her lovely family made my dogs so welcome. They really looked after them and we received regular updates, photos and videos and it was so reassuring to see them having such a lovely time.

“Luba took amazing care of my female German Shepherd over the three days she stayed with her. From the moment I dropped her off, I knew she was in great hands. Luba kept me updated with lots of photos and messages throughout her stay, which gave me real peace of mind. It was clear my dog was having a fantastic time and was being treated like one of the family. She looked so happy and relaxed that I honestly don't think she wanted to come home! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Luba to anyone looking for someone who genuinely loves and cares for dogs. I'll definitely be booking with her again very soon. Thank you, Luba!”

“This is the first time I have used Rover and I must say it’s a very positive experience. Kirsteen agreed to look after my two dogs for 6 days/nights, she was very a very warm, welcoming host, we went for a short walk on the drop off day so it made the handover very smooth. I received photos and a message or two most days and when I picked them up there was waggy tails and happy faces all round 🙂🐶🐶 All in all, I would highly recommend Kirsteen to look after your dogs and I would very happily leave my dogs with Kirsteen again and will do in the future.”

“We were very pleased with the care Gitana provided for our dog, Coco, over the two days he stayed with her. She kept us updated regularly with messages, photos, and progress reports, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. It was clear from the start that Gitana is both an experienced dog sitter and a genuine dog lover. Coco was well cared for, happy, and comfortable in her company. We really appreciated the attention, affection, and professionalism she showed throughout. I would happily use Gitana's services again in the future and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and experienced dog sitter. Thank you, Gitana, for looking after Coco so well! 🐾😊”
“Beau has returned yesterday from a two day/ one night stay with Serena in her lovely home. Serena is fabulous & clearly has a love for dogs which helped put me at ease when leaving Beau; she was also more than happy to accommodate my request for a ‘meet & greet’ prior to his overnight stay so we could ensure everyone was comfortable. Beau was very well looked after during his stay and it was nice to receive updates from Serena throughout so we could enjoy our time away knowing Beau was happy. I’d highly recommend Serena to anyone looking for a boarder & won’t hesitate to use her again in the future.”
About: 50 years of caring for and loving animals. We will take great care of elderly dogs who might be lacking in confidence and need extra emotional and physical support. We are home all day every day and garden outside with the dogs’ help! They are also walked every day before retiring in front of the woodburner! Our 1 acre garden is securely fenced in a quiet location and we have 3 very friendly bitches of our own who love to socialise!
About: My experience goes beyond simply walking and feeding. I've worked with dogs who have behavioral challenges and understand the importance of reading body language, building trust, and creating a calm, positive environment. Every dog is different, and I take the time to learn what makes each one feel safe, comfortable, and happy. Over the years, I've also cared for friends' and family's dogs during vacations and extended stays, giving them the same love, attention, and routine they receive at home. In addition, volunteering at my local Humane Society gave me hands-on experience working with dogs from many different backgrounds, temperaments, and energy levels, further strengthening my confidence and adaptability. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone you can completely trust. I know they're family, and I treat every dog in my care with the same patience, affection, and respect I'd want for my own. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or simply sticking to their routine, I'm committed to providing reliable, attentive care and making sure they feel loved while you're away. My goal isn't just to watch your dog—it's to make them feel at home and give you complete peace of mind. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I currently have a flexible schedule, allowing me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. This flexibility means I can accommodate walks, playtime, feedings, medication schedules, and lots of one-on-one companionship throughout the day. During the week, I don't have access to my own vehicle, so I primarily accept bookings that are within walking distance or accessible by public transportation. On weekends, I do have access to a car, which gives me greater flexibility for bookings that are farther away. I always communicate clearly with pet owners about availability and transportation to ensure we're a great fit before confirming a booking. No matter the day, when I'm caring for your pet, my priority is providing dependable, attentive care and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I treat every dog as if they were my own and am committed to giving them the same care and routine they're used to at home. When caring for your pet, my top priority is making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I know that every dog has their own unique routine, preferences, and personality, so I take the time to learn exactly how you care for them at home and do my best to maintain that same routine while you're away. Keeping their schedule consistent helps reduce stress and allows them to feel right at home. I treat every dog as if they were my own, giving them plenty of love, attention, playtime, and companionship throughout their stay. Whether your pup enjoys long walks, relaxing on the couch, or playing with their favorite toys, I'll make sure they receive the care and attention they deserve. f approved by you, I also love spoiling pups with healthy treats and extra enrichment. For longer stays, I enjoy taking dogs on fun adventures that match their personality and energy level, such as visits to the dog park, the beach, scenic walking trails, or other pet-friendly outings. Of course, every outing is discussed with and approved by you beforehand, and your dog's safety and comfort always come first. My goal is for your dog to feel happy, cared for, and loved while you're away—and for you to have complete peace of mind knowing they're in caring, reliable hands.
“Hayley and her family were fantastic and looked after Daisy as if she were their own. I think Daisy thoroughly enjoyed her time in the company of Hayley’s two Labs, playing in the back garden. I would definitely recommend Hayley to anyone.”
About: I am fortunate to have been around dogs most of my life, naming bichon frise, poodles and cockapoo as only a small example of the dogs that I have had exposure to. As a dog owner I understand the worry and concern of leaving your dog in someone else’s company and therefore what sets me apart is that I am more than happy to provide you with regular updates whilst you are away. Your dog will be treated as my own whilst I look after them, providing them with the utmost care and attention. I also own a Cockapoo and so they will also have a playmate should they wish to socialise! I currently work full-time however my weekends are spent at home relaxing and taking my dog for walks and so I am available for caring for your dog and boarding on a Friday and Saturday night. My back garden has plenty of room for the dogs to run around in and is also fully enclosed. I own a Cockapoo to keep your dog company should they wish to socialise. I will treat your dog as my own however also happy to follow your wishes if you don’t want the dogs on beds / sofas etc.
“Dora had her second stay with Cathy and was so pleased to see her! Cathy sent photos of Dora looking very relaxed with Stan and I think she would have liked to stay longer! Cathy is kind and trustworthy. I definitely recommend her!”
