“Our Springer had a wonderful weekend with Chloe. He came home very relaxed and happy. She really looked after him with great walks, good company and he enjoyed being with her and her family. They treated him like one of the family. Chloe is very honest, her house is lovely, clean and tidy and she has a garden. Highly recommend.”
“Chiara was fantastic with our nervous boy, she had a great understanding of how to make him feel comfortable and relaxed, looked after him with fireworks and did everything she could to make him feel at home. Could not recommend enough!”
“Our 3rd time using Lisa for both of our dogs and could not be happier with every aspect of the dogs care, updates from Lisa & how happy our dogs were to see Lisa! Couldn’t recommend enough 😊”
“I was so lucky to come across Anne & Chris to look after Charlie for 7 nights. They were brilliant and looked after Charlie as their own! They both had the knowledge and skills to look after other people's dogs at their home. Made my break more comfortable with the knowledge that Charlie was in good hands There was no stress. They sent me pictures of Charlie regularly Would use them again and would recommend them to other dog owners Thank you Anne & Chris”
“Karen and Mark are just brilliant with our dog. Really kind caring people. They took great care of our old pooch who likes a snuggle. I felt very confident that our old boy was being well cared for - Karen sends photos and updates which really put my mind at rest. Thank you Karen and Mark.”
“Charlotte and her family made our boy so welcome, looked after him so well and he came home a very happy boy after a lovely stay with them. Great communication and it was really helpful to have a meet and greet before the stay. Highly recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Our spaniel, Cooper, had been playing up and showing a lot of anxiety during our motorhome trip but Megan did a great job looking after him overnight and he was happy when we picked him up the next day. Thank you, Megan.”

“Susan was absolutely fantastic to work with! She took incredible care of our precious baby, Nika, while we were away. The photos and updates Susan sent were wonderful, and Nika was thriving under her attention. We highly recommend Susan for any cat-sitting needs - she is trustworthy, reliable, and clearly very passionate about animals. Five stars isn't enough – I'd give Susan ten stars if I could!❤️👏🏻”
“Jane had Ollie for the weekend for me and he was treated as one of the family, went on some great walks, had a lovely time and would have happily stayed with her forever I'm sure! He will definitely be back to stay again in the future. My first Rover experience and Ollie hasn't stayed away from me much at all in the last few years so I was a little nervous, but as soon as I met her I felt that Ollie was in capable and caring hands with Jane. Communication was great and it was really nice to receive photos of Ollie's adcentures. Thank you so much Jane 💓”
“Lucy had a really good stay with Suzanna and was very supportive with Lucy and her recent health issues. Nice updates and Lucy seemed very relaxed on her return home. Thanks so much for all your updates and care.”
“It is very difficult to quantify how incredible and sweet Andreia and her beautiful family are. I could talk about how wonderful she was with our “less than easy” Spaniel, but there are so many other aspects of Andreia that makes her quite special. We had numerous complications with our holiday plans including a very last minute postponement as a result of American bombing in the Middle East. Andreia took it all in her stride. In summary, I would dare to suggest that if you are lucky enough to have Andreia take care of your dog, you can count yourself lucky.”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and currently have a friendly 6 year old Cockapoo who is a much loved member of our family. Growing up, I cared for my Irish Setter, Yorkshire Terrier, Dalmatian and German Shepherds, giving me experience with a range of breeds, sizes and personalities. I understand that every dog is different and I always take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable and loved. I offer a home for dogs who don’t like being left alone. My own Cockapoo has severe separation anxiety, so I completely understand how stressful it can be to find someone who truly understands their needs. Because of this, we made the decision years ago that he is never left alone. Not even for a quick trip to the shops or to pop out for a few minutes. Your dog will be treated like one of the family, with free access to our home, plenty of love and attention, and constant companionship. If your dog struggles with separation anxiety, you can relax knowing they will never be left on their own while in my care. I work full-time from home, so your dog will have company throughout the day and won’t be left alone. My flexible schedule allows plenty of time for toilet breaks, walks, playtime, enrichment and cuddles. Your dog will become part of our daily routine and receive lots of love and attention while you’re away. Your dog’s safety, comfort and happiness are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced, secure garden for safe outdoor time, and my home is a dog-friendly environment where pets are treated like family. I have a friendly 6 year old Cockapoo who enjoys the company of other dogs. Because he has separation anxiety, I understand how important routine, patience and reassurance are, so dogs in my care are never left alone. I’ll follow your dog’s usual routine as closely as possible and keep you updated with regular photos and messages for complete peace of mind.
“We were a little worried about leaving our family pet whilst we went on holiday abroad for a fortnight, never having left him for so long before. Having daily updates and photos from Heather helped us to relax and not worry. When we went to collect Simba he was calm, happy and contented. He loved the company of the other dogs and had obviously been well cared for during his stay.”

“Lisa was great. Really warm and friendly on our meet ans greet. She was attentive and made sure she covered all our needs. While we where away, she gave us little updates of how everything was at home. She gave us the peace of mind our cat was happy while we were gone.”
About: I have always grown up around cats and been a part of a ‘cat family’. As we know cats all have very different personalities and I’ve been around many of them; friendly cats who crave affection and more independence cats that want love from a distance! Cats have an independent nature so caring for them has always come with ease but not without teething issues! I’m confident with holding and securing cats (at the vets or if there are other animals around) whilst also giving space when needed and love when wanted.
“I have never used a cat sitter before so was a little anxious about trusting someone with my indoor fur babies and making sure they didn’t escape the house … I needn’t have worried Bethany was absolutely incredible she took time to visit me before hand to meet them and me and another visit both in her own time to go over everything again just before I left .. as well as looking after them perfectly she made sure that she spent time with them to play and made sure they weren’t bored while I was away. She went over and beyond caring for them but also hoovered and left the house clean and tidy for my return which I would never have expected anyone to do !! She also sent me pictures of them to put my mind at rest that they were all well and happy which was so lovely when I was away. I can’t recommend Bethany enough and will have no hesitation in contacting and booking her again when I next go away … she’s just amazing thank you so much for your loving care and attention 😍♥️”
“We were very happy with Laura and will definitely book again. Our house, plants and cats were all cared for brilliantly - we came home to a clean and tidy house and very happy cats. Communication was brilliant and we were sent regular updates an photos while we were away.”
“Brilliant service from Suzy who dropped in on my cat while I went away for a week. She came in took photos and messaged me every day to assure me crunchy was okay. Came home to a happy cat. Would highly recommend her 😊”
About: I have grown up around cats my whole life, visited friends and family who own cats and even house sat for cats before too! I’m qualified vet nurse assistant level 2, fully first aid trained and have knowledge of behaviour issues. I went to college at writtle university college, I looked after the cats everyday. Unfortunately I cannot to board as I own two dogs who have a high prey drive, but I’m more then happy to house sit for your little furries. Or drop in for cuddles!
About: Growing up I've always adored cats; from playing with my neighbourhood's cats to looking after friends' and families' cats, I've always been surrounded by cats, and I am more than happy to spend time with all sorts of cats. My favourite thing about cats would have to be getting to dress them up during the festive season.
About: I have a big love for animals and have spare time as I live alone and miss having my own dog around so want to help others and look after their loved animals and care for them. I help dog and cat sit for friends and family so have plenty of experience with different breeds.
About: I’ve had two cats of my own and have also looked after cats for friends and family. Caring for cats has given me experience with feeding, changing litter trays, playing with them, and making sure they feel comfortable and settled while their owners are away. I love how affectionate and loyal cats can be, and I enjoy spending time getting to know each cat’s individual personality. I understand that every cat is different some love attention and play, while others prefer their own space and I’m happy to care for them in the way that makes them feel safe and relaxed. I’ll always treat your cat with the same care and attention I’d give my own, so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
About: With my experience and dedication, I am able to provide the very best care for your furry friend. I have experience with all breed's, big and small and have made it my mission to learn and study as much about dog's and their behaviour as possible, continuing with this every day! I have experience within dog day care and professional dog walking, and kennel environments. I have robust experience with reactive large breeds. I am currently studying towards qualifications in Canine Behaviour Training, which is a keen interest of mine. I am fully insured and DBS checked and have completed a canine first aid course. There is nothing I love more than seeing a happy, fulfilled dog and I throughly enjoy the adventure whilst walking alongside them. I am fully-flexible currently, with plenty of time to dedicate to looking after your furry friends. I am available for check-in's and walks differing in lengths. I will always put your pets needs at the forefront of my actions. If I am entering your home, you can be sound in the knowledge that I will treat it with respect and make sure that your dog has everything it needs to be comfortable and happy.

About: Hi, I'm Hannah - a freelance arts manager and pet sitter. I'm a huge animal lover, having owned and cared for over 30 pets, including dogs, cats, chickens, guinea pigs, rabbits, hamsters, fish - and one slightly grumpy terrapin! My freelance work means I am very flexible and can be home for most of the day to keep your pet company. I've cared for animals of all sizes and dispositions from nervous kittens to excitable labradors and pets in my care get their walkies or play every day without fail, rain or shine, and all the care and attention they would be accustomed to with plenty of cuddles, brushing (if they like those things) and of course, approved treats. My family pets were often older rescues with difficult pasts and nervous when they first came to us, so I'm used to catering to those sorts of needs in an animal in terms of appropriate levels of exercise and handling, giving medication, providing lots of reassurance and affection and just letting them feel comfortable, safe and to get to you know you at their own pace. Puppies and kittens are no problem either though, and I'm happy to continue any training you may be doing with them. When visiting pets in their own homes my aim is to make them feel comfortable and secure, including having them sleep in with me if allowed, and will do either leashed walks or dog park visits - whatever they are used to. If I have another local dog walking appointment during my stay and your dog is good around other dogs, they will get to come along too and have bonus walkies! As I'm home the majority of the day, pee breaks can be regular and I'm happy to give medication, food and water etc. as needed, whether doing daily drop-ins or longer term housesitting. I have a very flexible schedule and fit in admin work from home around pet-sitting. Saturday late afternoons - evenings are my only inflexible time due to work commitments, but I am happy to take longer housesits incorporating a Saturday if the pet can be left for 6 hours or there is a temporary companion such as a family member or neighbour who can cover that time. When staying in an owner's home, I follow the pet's normal feeding and walking/playtime routine so that they feel safe and settled. I also maintain any house rules set by the owner (whether this is 'no pets on the furniture', or a requirement for the pet to sleep in my room). I minimise the need to be away from the house during the day (unless the pet is used to this and it's considered better for their routine to continue the pattern), and never leave a pet alone overnight.
About: I love cats of all kinds. I may not have professional cat sitting experience but I have always had cats in the home growning up and even as an adult until recent years. Whether your cat is looking for fuss and somwone to play with or if they just need to know someone's home to relax, I've got you covered!
About: I have been a Cat lover since as long as I can recall having been born into a family of Cat lovers. I am currently a Cat mum of 2 Tuxedo’s Basil & Sybil who are now 12 years old and love constant attention. I have struggled over the years to find suitable sitters that meet their needs therefore tend to reach out to family to support. All cats are different and likes regular routine, therefore my aim as a Cat sitter is to understand your Cats daily routine and stick as closely to that as possible to ensure your Cat is well looked after fully satisfied with a familiar routine. I have supported family and friends with their Cat sitting needs over the years.

About: I have several years of professional house and pet sitting experience, built up through Trusted Housesitters, where I've earned over 30 five-star reviews. Over that time I've cared for dogs of all shapes, sizes and temperaments — from small, anxious dogs who need gentle handling and regular medication, to big softies who just need reassurance during thunderstorms. I'm comfortable adapting to each dog's routine and personality, and I know how important it is for owners to feel genuinely at ease when they're away. Whether your dog needs calm, patient company or an energetic companion for walks, I'll make sure they're happy, safe and well looked after. Your home will be treated with the same respect and care as my own. I'm currently on a career break from Finance so I can happily make time to spend with any dog in my care. My days are flexible, which means walks, feeding and any care routines can fit around what your dog is used to rather than what suits me; whether that's a long walk or a day lounging on the sofa in their safe space. Over many sits I've encountered all sorts of dogs and learned to read what each one needs. From small rescues who are usually nervous around men and just need time and calmness, to mischievous Spaniels who will seek out their favourite muddy puddle given half the chance. I take each dog's individual needs seriously, whether that's sticking to a familiar routine, administering medication, or simply knowing when to give a dog space and when they just want company. In a pet owner's home I treat everything with care and respect, and I'm always happy to follow whatever routines and house rules the owner has in place.
About: Im a dog obsessed sitter with over 15 years of experience looking after various breeds of dogs, giving them undivided attention, cuddles, walks, overnight stays, daycare and anything else as / when required. They will be treated as part of the family. I am fortunate enough to be able to do this, the thing I love, full time! I provide a home from home service and will treat your dog as if it were my own. I stick to their routine as much as possible so they feel comfortable and at ease. I have a fenced garden and lovely countryside walks on my doorstep. Rest assured I will stick to what the dog is used to in relation to a short or long walk.
“Cherry absolutely loved her stays with Amalia and Bri, she was happy and tired when I picked her up which was perfect for me, and Amalia was very understanding around me having to do awkward drop off and pick up times, highly recommend and would definitely use again!”
“Bruno had a wonderful time with Chloe! Our 3-year-old Boxer (who very much still thinks he's a puppy) was in great hands. She clearly put in a lot of effort — a long, happy walk and plenty of socialising with other dogs made for one very content boy. He came home absolutely exhausted and is now snoring away in his bed, which is the best sign of a great day out. We really appreciate the care and attention Chloe gave him. Highly recommended! 🐾”
About: I’ve cared for friends and family’s dogs of all age. I make sure each pet feels safe, loved, and keeps to their normal routine. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every dog like my own. Whether it’s extra playtime or gentle care, I adapt to each pet’s needs to keep tails wagging and owners worry-free. We work from home so there is always someone around for a lap to sit on. Our dog gets a quick walk before work in the mornings then generally we work a longer one into the afternoon. We are often at home or we take our dog out with us to the forest or beach. I have a fenced off garden and stair gate on the kitchen door to stop any dogs escaping out the front door. We are a dogs on furniture kind of home and you will often find ours on our lap!
“We were very happy with Molly’s stay at Heathers - a very helpful lady with lots of updates on how Molly settled in with her own dog Ollie - and some lovely pictures too - again thank you for taking such good care of Molly for us Wendy & Mike”
About: I've cared for dogs all my life and have been looking after friends', neighbours' and family pets since I was 10 years old. I now run my own professional dog walking and pet care business, providing calm, reliable one-to-one care tailored to each dog's individual needs. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs and reactive dogs, and I always take the time to understand each pet's routine and personality. My priority is making every dog feel safe, happy and loved while keeping owners updated with regular photos and messages. Pet care is my full-time business, so I can give your pet the time and attention they deserve. I'm available on weekdays, weekends and for overnight stays, with flexible scheduling wherever possible. I keep my diary carefully organised so I can provide reliable, consistent care and ensure every pet receives the attention, exercise and companionship they need. Your pet's safety and wellbeing are always my highest priority. I have a secure fenced garden where dogs can enjoy supervised time outdoors if appropriate. I take the time to understand each pet's routine, personality and any special requirements, and I always follow owners' instructions carefully. I provide regular photo and message updates, so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy and receiving plenty of love, care and attention.
About: My husband I have always loved dogs and had them in our lives since childhood. We are early retirees and able to offer outstanding care for your beloved pet/s. Our own beloved family member, Alfie, a Cocker Spaniel died in 2018 and we have since then lavished all our love on our granddog Duke, a Golden retriever, who lives in LA, whom we have helped raise since he was a puppy. We are early retirees and when not travelling, are able to offer 5 star care for your dog/s in our home, which is a good size, clean and very safe. We are both young, mid 50's and very active with access to walks around the lovely countryside in Bocking, Braintree. Having been on Rover for nearly a year and with a bit more experience, we offer a high quality service limited to just one dog at a time, or two dogs from the same family. We will not mix your dogs with any other dog, at any time during the stay. We wish to provide the best care possible and for us, we realise it's best if we concentrate on a single dog, or a pair of dogs, from the same family to maximise, safety, care and attention on your beloved pet/s. We are recently retired and therefore able to prove maximum time and attention to any Dog that stays in our home with us. We are also able to visit your home for walks or drop-ins. We have a fenced in garden, which is dog friendly and safe. We have a spacious home, very safe and clean and a perfect loving environment for your pet. We live very close to the Fennes, giving us the best walks in Essex, perfect for us to exercise ourselves and your pet. We are both mature and responsible adults with lots of time on our hands. We are only looking to look after a maximum of one dog, or two dogs from the same home, at any one time, as we are looking to provide high quality and maximum attention to a small number of dogs, so we can enjoy the experience of having dogs, rather than providing care for financial reward alone.
“If you are nervous of leaving your fur babies with someone new, I can highly recommend Susan. She is calm, patient, loving and treats your pet in a home from home experience in a safe environment. My dog lucca has just had the best three days with Susan. Games, cuddles and walks, all in one day and regular photos and video’s sent to me throughout the day. Super service and such a lovely person, you will not be disappointed. I will be booking again.”
“Rebecca is a wonderful sitter. She really made us and Jessie feel at ease and we had no hesitation in leaving Jessie in her care. Rebecca sent a video and pictures of Jessie on a walk and we could see that Jessie was extremely happy. We would have no hesitation in using Rebecca again.”
“Suzzana took wonderful care of my dog, Dexter, during his daycare, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. She kept me updated throughout the day with photos and messages, which gave me real peace of mind. She took Dexter for walks, played with him, and gave him plenty of love and attention. It was clear that she genuinely cared for him and treated him as if he were her own. Dexter absolutely enjoyed every moment with her and was always happy and relaxed when I picked him up. I would highly recommend Suzzana to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and trustworthy dog sitter. Thank you so much for looking after Dexter so well!”

With Stansted airport only 5 minutes away! You can drop your dog off on route to the airport or make use of my available parking space at an extra charge whilst you’re away. I have a very good size, fenced garden and I share 3 friendly medium sized dogs with my family who can keep your dog company. I can also crate your dog if that’s their normal routine. I have the flitch walk and fields on my doorstep for us all to enjoy! I am happy to alter my day to suit your fur babies routine.
About: I have several years of professional house and pet sitting experience, built up through Trusted Housesitters, where I've earned over 30 five-star reviews. Over that time I've cared for dogs of all shapes, sizes and temperaments — from small, anxious dogs who need gentle handling and regular medication, to big softies who just need reassurance during thunderstorms. I'm comfortable adapting to each dog's routine and personality, and I know how important it is for owners to feel genuinely at ease when they're away. Whether your dog needs calm, patient company or an energetic companion for walks, I'll make sure they're happy, safe and well looked after. Your home will be treated with the same respect and care as my own. I'm currently on a career break from Finance so I can happily make time to spend with any dog in my care. My days are flexible, which means walks, feeding and any care routines can fit around what your dog is used to rather than what suits me; whether that's a long walk or a day lounging on the sofa in their safe space. Over many sits I've encountered all sorts of dogs and learned to read what each one needs. From small rescues who are usually nervous around men and just need time and calmness, to mischievous Spaniels who will seek out their favourite muddy puddle given half the chance. I take each dog's individual needs seriously, whether that's sticking to a familiar routine, administering medication, or simply knowing when to give a dog space and when they just want company. In a pet owner's home I treat everything with care and respect, and I'm always happy to follow whatever routines and house rules the owner has in place.
About: My Golden oldie loves a bit of canine company. She is happy to show company her favourite walks & sniffs as well as sharing her owners care & cuddles. We have experience with all sorts of wagging tails from poms to labs . We also have doggy cam to keep an eye on guests I’m now retired so can be around any time to look after your dog. I do like to go to gym/pool 3 mornings a week but am always back for lunchtime. I’m around all weekend apart from tennis Sunday morning. We walk every morning and evening with various routes across tracks & fields close by. My old Goldie is very easy going and will be excellent company for your pet. Our garden is fenced & secured with padlocked gates top & bottom so we can easily get out for “business “ safely. No dogs are allowed upstairs but otherwise have the downstairs space and plenty if room to be together or further apart if thats what they choose.
About: I have grown up surrounded by different animals from all sizes including horses, dogs, cats, donkeys to the smaller likes of hamsters, rabbits, guinea pigs and ferrets. I currently have a large greyhound called Velma who is more than happy sleeping the day away with the occasional cuddle. I understand not all dogs have the same needs and am adaptive in my approach. I currently work a shift pattern, meaning I am often available during the week and at odd times to help with your pet needs. I do not work overnight and so will be available for house sitting. For house sitting services, I will ensure I ask the correct questions from the home owners to be able to care for their pet to the best of my ability. I have great listening and observation skills to safely care for your additional family member!
About: I do all services, but NONE at my home. I can come to you! I had a rescue German shepherd dog since I was young. We took her to training and agility classes. I have dog sat and dog walked for people a few times. I have worked in childcare for 3+ years and I still am. I have availability on Mondays. I am available some evenings after work at 5pm and I am available at weekends. I love all dogs and other small animals. I would prefer to dogsit at the owners home (s) if possible. I would make sure that food that is not dog food is out of reach and they wouldn't climb on anything, furniture etc. that they are not supposed to.
About: Any pet in my care is always treated with the love and attention as if it were my own. I have a love of animals and have always had them in the home from a very young age. I've had experience walking both larger and smaller dogs and have had to train them through the difficult "puppy phase", giving me a good sense of how best to deal with tricky situations Im not able to have a pet of my own at the moment, so when I am able to, I love to spend time looking after other people's furbabies to give them the extra bit of love they all deserve. As I will be in your pets own environment, I would be keeping them safe whilst they enjoy their own comforts. When we go out for walks, dogs will always be kept on the lead and under supervision unless you have any specific instructions to better suit your pups needs

About: Hi, I'm Hannah - a freelance arts manager and pet sitter. I'm a huge animal lover, having owned and cared for over 30 pets, including dogs, cats, chickens, guinea pigs, rabbits, hamsters, fish - and one slightly grumpy terrapin! My freelance work means I am very flexible and can be home for most of the day to keep your pet company. I've cared for animals of all sizes and dispositions from nervous kittens to excitable labradors and pets in my care get their walkies or play every day without fail, rain or shine, and all the care and attention they would be accustomed to with plenty of cuddles, brushing (if they like those things) and of course, approved treats. My family pets were often older rescues with difficult pasts and nervous when they first came to us, so I'm used to catering to those sorts of needs in an animal in terms of appropriate levels of exercise and handling, giving medication, providing lots of reassurance and affection and just letting them feel comfortable, safe and to get to you know you at their own pace. Puppies and kittens are no problem either though, and I'm happy to continue any training you may be doing with them. When visiting pets in their own homes my aim is to make them feel comfortable and secure, including having them sleep in with me if allowed, and will do either leashed walks or dog park visits - whatever they are used to. If I have another local dog walking appointment during my stay and your dog is good around other dogs, they will get to come along too and have bonus walkies! As I'm home the majority of the day, pee breaks can be regular and I'm happy to give medication, food and water etc. as needed, whether doing daily drop-ins or longer term housesitting. I have a very flexible schedule and fit in admin work from home around pet-sitting. Saturday late afternoons - evenings are my only inflexible time due to work commitments, but I am happy to take longer housesits incorporating a Saturday if the pet can be left for 6 hours or there is a temporary companion such as a family member or neighbour who can cover that time. When staying in an owner's home, I follow the pet's normal feeding and walking/playtime routine so that they feel safe and settled. I also maintain any house rules set by the owner (whether this is 'no pets on the furniture', or a requirement for the pet to sleep in my room). I minimise the need to be away from the house during the day (unless the pet is used to this and it's considered better for their routine to continue the pattern), and never leave a pet alone overnight.

About: Pet Care Experience: My partner and I have extensive experience in veterinary care. I have worked as an emergency vet nursing assistant and student veterinary nurse, while my partner is a qualified veterinarian. We have encountered and worked with a wide variety of animals, and are adept at providing first aid if ever needed. While we love our current jobs, we are particularly passionate about working with animals and would like to extend this passion to our home life. In addition to our professional experience, we currently foster small breed dogs, including pugs, Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, Dachshunds, and others. We also have our own dog, a female pug named Olive, who was originally a foster dog but has become a permanent member of our family due to our deep affection for her. Therefore, any dogs that stay with us must be dog-friendly as Olive will be helping us insure you have a tired pooch. Schedule: I work part time as an evening vet nursing assistant at an emergency veterinary clinic on a one-week-on, one-week-off basis. During my week off, I provide doggy day care and boarding, which is already scheduled in my diary. My partner, who is a qualified veterinarian, works during the day at a veterinary clinic from Monday to Friday. We are open to caring for pets with medical needs, such as diabetes. Your furry friend will be treated with the same care and attention as our own pets. They will have free range of the house, including the bed, sofa, and garden. Our 4-bedroom home is just a 4-minute drive from the Cotswolds, providing plenty of opportunities for scenic walks. For less mobile dogs, there is a playing field a 9-minute walk (2-minute drive) from our house. We generally keep dogs on a leash for safety, however, we can accommodate off leash time in some enclosed dog-friendly fields nearby upon request.

“We were a little worried about leaving our family pet whilst we went on holiday abroad for a fortnight, never having left him for so long before. Having daily updates and photos from Heather helped us to relax and not worry. When we went to collect Simba he was calm, happy and contented. He loved the company of the other dogs and had obviously been well cared for during his stay.”
