“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 am also experienced in looking after animals on apartments, houses, flats, as well as walking animals along street paths, parks, fields and gardens.
“Winona and Charlie looked after my dog for just over a week and I couldn’t be more happy with the stay. I got pictures and videos daily as well as updates on how my dog’s day has been. I was able to take my dog round for a first meet where I was able to ask any questions and discuss the dogs routing, which was followed for the duration of the stay. My dog was welcomed into their family and I could not be happier or recommend Winona and Charlie more.”

Atlas can’t wait till the next visit 😊”
“I took my first holiday since I got my cat, & I was quite apprehensive as she is really needy & gets separation anxiety, however from the first meeting Lucy put my mind at ease. She sent me lots of pictures & when I returned home, my Ragdoll was in an extremely happy mood. The house was exactly as I left it. I would highly recommend Lucy.”

About: I have been on Rover for nearly a year now and have experience with loads of breeds, ages, and different needs! I have always loved dogs and walking, so I started Rover after my dog Monty passed away so I would still get to meet dogs, get outside, and go for walks in memory of him as it would be a highlight of my day. I am happy to either walk and/or be company for your dog, I have a car, and am home for summer from uni so have availability both week days and weekends. I don’t have any pets currently and I have a secure garden with fences and plenty of fields for walking surrounding my house. My house is a calm environment for your dog!
About: I’ve had cats for over 15 years and have always loved being around them. I understand that every cat is different, and I’m happy to follow their usual routine to help them feel comfortable while you’re away. Whether it’s feeding, cleaning litter trays, giving medication if needed, or simply spending time with them for some fuss and company, I’ll make sure they’re well looked after and happy in their own home
“I’m pretty sure my dog is considering moving in with Bruna permanently. 😂 Excellent care, great communication, and lots of love and attention.my dog was so happy and I had zero stress. Cannot recommend Bruna enough! She was punctual, dependable, and very attentive to my dog’s needs. Followed instructions perfectly and provided consistent updates/photos. My dog was calm, happy, and well exercised . Will absolutely book again.❤️”
About: Hello. I am a mum to a beautiful 3 year old. I have recently lost my cat Mildred after her being in our lives for 23 years. She was the most perfect, pretty cat. Mildred was the best companion. She was truely spoilt and loved to maximum. I love cats. Growing up we only ever had cats for pets. Going forward we will always only ever have cats. The time isn’t right for us to have another cat as we will be renovating our house and moving out, which is the reason why I have decided to take this opportunity to love and care for other peoples cats. I look after my relatives cats often and friends cats when they go on holiday. Choose me to care for you cat. It really would be a honour.
About: I have loved dogs since the age of 10 and have been around working dogs from a young age as my grandparents raised working Labradors. I currently have 2 Cockapoos who I have raised since 8 weeks and attended puppy training classes with. I have walked many friend's and family’s dogs in the past as well as house sit overnight/ for a weekend I currently work full time, Monday - Friday. I am available to house sit overnight Fridays and Saturday and available all day Saturday and Sunday for walks or drop ins I am happy to follow set instructions you may want to leave me as I understand every dogs needs are different. Otherwise walks throughout the day as well as general playtime are key components to caring for dogs
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’ve gained experience caring for cats while doing dog sits, including feeding, playing, and keeping them company. I understand that every cat has their own personality, so I’m always patient, gentle, and respectful of their space. I make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well looked after while their owners are away.
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: I’ve had cats throughout my life and understand that every cat has their own unique personality and routine. Some love attention and playtime, while others prefer quiet company and their own space, and I’m happy to care for them in the way that suits them best. I’m experienced with feeding, cleaning litter trays, providing fresh water, administering basic care and making sure cats feel safe and relaxed while their owners are away. I’ll always follow your instructions carefully and provide regular updates and photos, so you can have peace of mind knowing your cat is in caring hands.

“Amazing short notice daycare! With less than 48 hours notice, Daniel managed to fit in a quick meet and greet, take on board all info and provide amazing day care for Doug. Regular photos and videos received. Doug returned happy and tired. Will 100% be rebooking the next time I need doggy day care. Thank you!!”
“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! 🐾”
“Woody had a great time with Lisa and her little doggy. Lisa was easy to communicate with and was very accommodating when we had to move our schedule. Woody will definitely be staying again!”

Dogs are allowed to sit on sofas with owners permission, I wouldn't want to instill any bad habits they're not allowed to do at home. I do have my own 6 year old staffie girl so any dog staying would need to be happy socialising with other dogs.
“Kelly & Ed were great with Rosie and gave us plenty of updates and photos whilst we were away for just one night. They actually seemed to be really looking forward to having her and I’m sure they made her feel at home. It was another hot sunny day but they made sure to take her out early in the morning. Would thoroughly recommend, but then again, don’t want them do busy that they can’t look after Rosie again !! 😝”
About: I had a dog and many cats thoughout my life. Being brought up in Borneo and constantly surrounded by snakes and monkeys, I developed a strong passion and interest for everything nature and wildlife. I have worked as a veterinary nurse for two years, where I worked with everything under the sun; from hamsters to birds to lions! I've also worked as personal dog carer for a royal family in the middle east for about 6 months. I love all animals and promise to treat them as I would my own! I have a way of getting on with animals of all shapes and sizes! I very much look forward to making friends with all the pets I can!

Inside the house, I provide a cosy and comfortable space including a comfy bed and plenty of toys to keep them entertained and happy.
About: FULLY LICENSED AND INSURED. For me, pet sitting isn’t just about feeding and walking—it’s about making pets feel loved and secure while their family is away. I’ve cared for seniors who need extra patience, playful pups and kittens full of energy, and even pets with little ones of their own. I know every pet has their own personality and needs, and I truly enjoy getting to know them and making them feel at home with me. 🐕🐈🐇🐠 I love them all! Pet care fits right into my routine because I’m home most of the week. That means your pets get companionship, care, and lots of love just like they would from family. Whether in my home or yours, I focus on making pets feel loved and secure. At my home, they’ll get play, exercise, and cozy spots to rest. In your home, I’ll keep their routine consistent so they feel happy and comfortable.

“Amelia was amazing! Elton can be very anxious at times but she was really able to put him at ease with her calming nature. I was sent photo updates throughout the day, they did lots of playing and then had some chilled downtime too. Elton absolutely loves Amelia and I now have one very happy pup! Looking to book again :)”

About: I have owned dogs my entire life and have had owned them and trained them from puppies. I currently share 3 dogs with my family aged 9 months, 6 years old and 10 years old. I am used to caring for a range of ages and energies. I also have experience of caring for a variety of breeds and catering to their individual needs. I am also currently completing a course on dog behaviour, first aid and day care/ boarding needs. I am a teacher so I am available during school holidays and weekends. Dogs in my care get at least 2 walks a day and lots of play time. My partner works shifts so there is always someone home to spend time, give lots of love and care to your dog. 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: My family have had dogs my entire life so I am very much a dog lover and fanatic! I love knowing about all the different breeds, different personalities and getting to know dogs characters. I have a small terrier myself who is now 6. I am a very confident person when it comes to handling dogs and walking them. I regularly have friends dogs over to stay for play dates with my dog and I genuinely love spending time with them so being on Rover makes total sense. I work from home 3 days a week so can be rather flexible with sitting and walks and general dog companionship :) In my day job I come across a lot of dogs and I have actually rehomed 14 so far in to loving homes. One of them even now lives in Lisbon! I can honestly find a connection with any dog, I cannot see how some people arent dog people! I work from home 3 days a week and spend 2 out 4 weekends a month at home. I take my own dog out for 2 walks a day everyday without fail. I have a good sized garden which is safe and fenced off. I also have lots of lovely walks local to me across fields and forests which I know my dog loves also. My dog has a bed downstairs but often sleeps upstairs in my bedroom but I would be happy for a dog staying overnight to be anywhere that he/she is comfortable in the home, there are no off limits areas.
About: DBS checked. Insured with Protectivity. I’ve owned both a medium and large dog; springer spaniel to Doberman. I have been trusted with small dogs, as well as young and old; from 6 months to 15 years. I’m familiar with rescues and dogs from abroad. I’m currently working part-time, leaving me available to have plenty of time with your pets for walks, playtime and anything else! I’m freelance and self employed, which allows me the flexibility to work into whatever schedule you have. When I do have to leave for work, I’m never away for than 4-5 hours at a time, ensuring that your pets aren’t ever left alone for substantial periods of time. I'm unable to board pets at my own home due to having my own dog. However, I'm experienced in crate-trained pets, as well as housings of different sizes.
About: We're a family of 4 (including a 8 and 13 year old) plus our own dachshund Dusty who likes Lots of cuddles, sleeping and barking at everything! We walk regularly at Hatfield Forest National Trust (only 1 minute away) and go for many adventures in the beautiful countryside in our area. All the dogs enjoy wondering deep into the forest till there's not a road in sight! We have a garden big enough for running and playing which we spend alot of time in. We provide great companionship and love to get out and about or just play in the garden. We offer the perfect break or weekend getaway for your furry friend with lots of love, games, and new sights and sounds. We're also perfectly situated if you're flying out from Stansted (10 minute drive) but don't worry we're not under any flight paths so your dog won't be bothered by any loud noises. A typical day at our home starts at around 7am straight out to the garden then breakfast all round. We'll either have a morning and evening walk or 1 long trip to the forest everyday followed by relaxing and playing in the garden. You'll be sure to get plenty of updates, pictures and videos! I love capturing beautiful pictures of our guests and there's always a cupboard filled with treats. We have some apple trees at the back of the garden, plus plenty of sticks and balls. - Today we enjoyed a dog friendly swim and dig at Mersea beach! Our home would best suit guests comfortable around other dogs as we will pass plenty of other owners in the forest however I'm happy to schedule walks during quieter times if they have a more nervous temperment. See all the fun we're having on my Facebook page- Bonny's Boarding I'm currently working part time Tuesday Thursday and Friday so I am home most days to care for your dog. I'll provide a walk in the morning and evening depending on energy levels. I've been awarded the highest grading of 5 stars for animal welfare in my recent inspection. I ensure that I fully understand the needs of all the dogs who stay with us before hand and review thier owner notes to make sure I'm confident with what to expect.

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.
“Poppy was fantastic with both me and my dogs, so easy going and friendly which I loved and you can see she loves dogs and dog walking , the whole process was brilliant from meeting her and keeping in contact while I was away on holiday and knowing my dogs were in great hands, I was kept updated daily and sent pictures which was so lovely x I will 100% be asking Poppy again to look after my dogs, thank you Poppy xx”

About: Hi! I’m Philly, a huge animal lover with experience caring for a wide variety of pets, including dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters and other small animals. I currently care for 7 pets at home with my partner, so animals are a very big part of my everyday life! 🐾❤️ I have a qualification in dog walking and dog behaviour, as well as hands-on experience with animal rescue and rehabilitation. I rescued and rehabilitated 2 stray cats from Cyprus, who are now happy, settled members of my family alongside my other 4 cats. 🐱❤️ This experience taught me a lot about building trust with nervous animals, giving them the time and space they need, recognising their boundaries and helping them gradually feel safe and secure in a home environment. I also have extensive hands-on experience with dogs of different ages, personalities and needs. I have raised 3 puppies from around 8 weeks old, so I’m very familiar with the puppy stage and the patience and consistency it requires. I have experience with toilet training, establishing routines, basic commands, lead and walking practice, socialisation, play and all the usual puppy mischief! 🐶 Since I was 18, I have also cared for a very anxious dog at my family home who is both lead-reactive and dog-reactive. Because her reactivity stems from significant anxiety, I’ve gained a lot of practical experience understanding and safely managing reactive behaviour. I’m confident recognising potential triggers and early signs of stress, creating appropriate distance from other dogs, crossing roads or changing routes when necessary, using distraction and positive reinforcement, and remaining calm if a dog does react. I understand that reactive dogs aren’t “bad dogs” — they often need someone who understands their individual triggers, boundaries and what helps them feel safe. I’m therefore very happy to discuss walks and care for nervous, anxious or reactive dogs and follow the management techniques that work best for your individual dog. 🐕❤️ I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine and individual needs, and I’ll never assume that what works for one animal will work for another. I’m always happy to follow your usual routine and take the time to get to know your pet so they can feel as comfortable and settled with me as possible. I offer dog walking, pet sitting, home drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, companionship and general care for both dogs and cats, as well as other pets where suitable. Whether your dog needs an energetic walk, your cat needs some company while you’re away, or you simply need someone reliable to pop in for feeding, cuddles and attention, I’m happy to help. 🐾 I’m confident following individual feeding, walking and care routines and will always take the time to understand your pet’s behaviour, temperament and specific needs. I’m also happy to follow any particular instructions you have, whether that’s sticking to certain walking routes, avoiding particular triggers, feeding at specific times or adapting my approach for pets who are nervous or need a little extra patience and reassurance. Your pet’s safety and wellbeing will always be my priority. If I ever notice anything unusual or have any concerns while they’re in my care, I’ll contact you straight away, keep you fully informed and follow any instructions or emergency arrangements we’ve agreed beforehand. I know how important it is to feel reassured when somebody else is looking after your pet, so I always send photos and updates when I visit. 📸❤️ That way, you can see how they’re getting on and know they’re happy, safe and being well looked after. I have flexible availability across weekdays and weekends and can often accommodate different times and routines, subject to other bookings. Most importantly, I’ll always care for your pets with the same patience, kindness and attention I’d want for my own. 🐾❤️ I have very flexible availability throughout the week, including weekdays, weekends, mornings and evenings, subject to other bookings. 🐾 I’m happy to work around you and your pet’s usual routine as much as possible, whether you need regular weekly dog walks, occasional walks, drop-in visits, feeding visits, pet sitting or care while you’re away. I understand how important routine can be for animals, particularly puppies, older pets and those who are nervous or anxious, so I’ll always do my best to keep visits, walks and feeding times consistent with what your pet is used to. I’m also happy to discuss more specific or unusual requirements — just send me a message and I’ll always try my best to accommodate you and your pet. ❤️ Your pet’s safety, comfort and happiness will always be my priority. ❤️ I’m happy to care for dogs, cats and other pets in their own home, where they can stay in familiar surroundings and maintain their normal routine. I’ll follow your instructions as closely as possible, including feeding and fresh water, walks, toilet breaks, playtime, enrichment, companionship and any individual care requirements we’ve discussed. Before caring for your pet, I’ll take the time to understand their personality, routine, boundaries and any behaviours or triggers I need to be aware of. For nervous, anxious or reactive pets, I’ll never force interaction and will allow them to become comfortable with me at their own pace. 🐾 On dog walks, I’ll always prioritise safety and remain aware of our surroundings. I’ll follow any instructions regarding routes, other dogs, lead use and known triggers, and adapt the walk if necessary to keep your dog comfortable and safe. I’ll treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own, making sure doors, gates and other access points are secure when arriving and leaving. You’ll also receive photos and updates from me so you know your pet is safe, happy and being properly cared for while they’re with me. 📸❤️ If I ever notice anything unusual or have any concerns, I’ll contact you straight away.
“Katie is an excellent dog walker, flexible, punctual and attentive. A very experienced dog carer with a wide range of breeds. We had multiple walks over 2 months from which Katie provided details of the walks with pictures. Bertie loved his walks and also the odd run. Can't recommend Katie highly enough.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 10 years old, starting with my family Labrador, Dolly. Over the past few years, I’ve regularly looked after dogs for friends and family, including house sitting, dog walking and daily care. I’ve worked with a variety of breeds and personalities, and I always take the time to understand each dog’s routine and needs. I also spent 3 months in the USA where I gained additional experience with dog walking and pet sitting. I am enhanced DBS checked and volunteer with my Golden Retriever, which has given me even more hands-on experience working with dogs in different environments. I’m reliable, caring and treat every pet as if they were my own. I provide pet care full-time, which means I have a very flexible schedule and can give your pet plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits and house sitting, including weekdays and weekends. I can also be flexible to suit your pet’s routine and needs. I can spend extended time with your pet during the day where needed, ensuring they are not left alone for long periods. I make sure every dog and cat gets plenty of social interaction, exercise and attention based on their individual needs. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding routines, medication (if required) and any specific care requirements to ensure they stay happy and healthy. I also make sure your home is kept safe and secure at all times, and I treat both your pet and your home with the utmost respect. I am enhanced DBS checked, giving you extra peace of mind while your pet is in my care.
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: 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: I’ve been surrounded by dogs since I was a little girl. I used to attend agility and training classes with my own dog, which taught me how to read canine body language and understand their needs. I always care for pets with love, patience, and positive reinforcement — making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. Can’t wait to give your loved one the best walks and cuddles!! :)) As a cabin crew member, I enjoy flexible schedules that give me plenty of quality time to spend with your furry friend. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or cuddles, I’ll make sure your dog feels at home and loved. Don’t hesitate to contact me if you need more information, I’ll be happy to help you! I live in a spacious apartment just across the street from a large park, with many beautiful walking routes nearby (even river walks, if your pup enjoys them 😉). Your pet will be treated with respect, gentleness, and the best care possible.

“Chip had an awesome time with Dan! We got lots of updates from him and we could tell that our dog was really happy and well looked after. We highly recommend Dan as a dog sitter and would book him again any time.”
“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.”
“Lisa and her family are amazing. Our girls had the best time. They loved their little holiday and it was so nice leaving them and knowing they were happy. Thank you Lisa!”
“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!”
“Fantastic pet sitting!! Bonny accepted to take care of Rusty at a short notice. She kept us informed of everything (pictures, videos). 😍❤❤❤ She has massive garden for him to play and took him for long walks everyday 🐶😍😀😃 Thanks againnnn!!!! Xx”
About: I have had an array of different animals for around 40 years & soley cared for them (Dogs / Cats / Rabbits / Guinea pigs / Hamsters). I absolutely love animals, especially dogs! Hi, I’m Sue. I work part time & recently lost my 16 year old Westie cross who I absolutely adored. I am not ready to commit to getting another one yet, but do really miss having a little furry friend to take out on a nice walk! I am able to look after your pets at my home or yours, I have a fenced secure garden so your pets will be safe!
“Amazing communication and our dog seemed to be very comfortable and happy there. Totally appreciate the additional minding duties Megan and Tom took on as our dog had injured himself before the stay! Our dog is a very high energy puppy so thank you both for looking after him. Couldn’t rate more highly.”
“Chiara was amazing with Bonnie! She sent us lots of pictures and updates. She also made sure Bonnie was not alone on New Year's as she is very scared of the fireworks. Highly recommend!”
“Holly has been poorly lately so I was a bit nervous about leaving her however Melody was amazing! She was incredibly kind and understanding of Holly’s condition and gave her lots of extra attention and reassurance for me. I would highly recommend Melody”
“Winona and Charlie looked after my dog for just over a week and I couldn’t be more happy with the stay. I got pictures and videos daily as well as updates on how my dog’s day has been. I was able to take my dog round for a first meet where I was able to ask any questions and discuss the dogs routing, which was followed for the duration of the stay. My dog was welcomed into their family and I could not be happier or recommend Winona and Charlie more.”
About: My family have had dogs my entire life so I am very much a dog lover and fanatic! I love knowing about all the different breeds, different personalities and getting to know dogs characters. I have a small terrier myself who is now 6. I am a very confident person when it comes to handling dogs and walking them. I regularly have friends dogs over to stay for play dates with my dog and I genuinely love spending time with them so being on Rover makes total sense. I work from home 3 days a week so can be rather flexible with sitting and walks and general dog companionship :) In my day job I come across a lot of dogs and I have actually rehomed 14 so far in to loving homes. One of them even now lives in Lisbon! I can honestly find a connection with any dog, I cannot see how some people arent dog people! I work from home 3 days a week and spend 2 out 4 weekends a month at home. I take my own dog out for 2 walks a day everyday without fail. I have a good sized garden which is safe and fenced off. I also have lots of lovely walks local to me across fields and forests which I know my dog loves also. My dog has a bed downstairs but often sleeps upstairs in my bedroom but I would be happy for a dog staying overnight to be anywhere that he/she is comfortable in the home, there are no off limits areas.
“Iren was fantastic, I was updated throughout Alfie’s stay with pictures and videos. Alfie was really well looked after and has returned home happy and well. I would highly recommend Iren and will use again.”
“This was the second time Monty stayed, and this time overnight. While he’s not the easiest puppy at the moment, she handled him brilliantly. She did such a wonderful job with him and I’m definitely booking again.”
“Gabriella did an amazing job looking after Callie, with great communications and updates. I felt super relaxed leaving her for the weekend, would definitely book again. Thank you so much once again!”
“Liz was brilliant! I have a very hyper / loud (barks a lot) 12 month old cocker spaniel, and Liz was brilliant with him. . She has even offered to have him again regardless of the barking! She is extremely friendly and always so quick to respond. Liz also sent me updates throughout the day of my pup to put my mind at ease. Would 100% recommend!”

About: I’ve had dogs since I was 10, two Hungarian vizlas and my family has two very sassy sausages! have looked after older dogs, and also younger, I looked after two puppy pointers for two weeks so I understand the challenges that come with puppies. I’m a photographer and therefore love to take my camera out to get some great shots of the dogs in action! I work part time so have plenty of free weekdays, mornings work best. Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays are completely free days, and the occasional weekend are free. I live in a very secure house in elsenham with a fenced garden, being in Elsenham means there’s lots of lovely dog walking areas as well which I love. I work remotely Monday to Wednesday and have Thursday and Friday off so am quite flexible! I sometimes head to Devon so would need at least a couple of days notice if dog care needed. I have a fenced garden so your dog will be safe at all times. I work downstairs so your dog will have company at all times as well :)
