“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 :)”
“Megan was absolutely wonderful with BoBo! Our miniature Dachshund can be quite a nervous soul in new places, but Megan’s patient approach meant he settled in no time. She followed every instruction perfectly and the frequent photo updates were such a lovely touch that kept us totally stress-free. We picked up a very happy pup and will definitely be booking Megan again!”
“Lubomira spoilt my Maya rotten! I was showered with photos and videos the whole time I was away to keep me at ease and let me know what she was up to! Maya thoroughly enjoyed her stay. I have already rebooked!! Thank you very much for looking after my fur baby so well :)”

Mia, l can’t thank you enough for the very professional and kind hospitality you afforded my puppies you really put my mind at rest whilst l was away, big licks from the dogs xx”
“Serena was brilliant with our dog. We had an initial meeting beforehand so that we could all meet before the stay. This helped to put us at ease and familiarise our dog with Serena and her home and also gave Serena chance to meet the dog and she what she was like before having her stay. During the stay we had regular updates, our dog was well looked after and had plenty of attention and walks.”
“Vanessa looked after our miniature Schnauzer Eddie for a week while we were away. It is always hard to leave your beloved dog with someone but we were very happy with her care. She clearly loves dogs, is very experienced with them and is very attentive to your individual dog's needs. Also her own two little dogs were great with Eddie. He had lots of fun. Vanessa sent us photos every day which really put our minds at rest. Very happy to recommend Vanessa.”
“Gitana is a brilliant sitter! We left our springer cross (Dora) with her for 6 nights and she had a great time. Gitana was excellent with communication, updating us everyday with pictures. Gitana was also happy to meet beforehand for a pre-meet with us and Dora. If you are considering using Gitana I would strongly recommend!”
“Kezia was really accommodating and communicative from the intial enquiry right through to pickup. Lots of updates and photos throughout Sadie's stay and she clearly had a lovely time. We will definitely look to use Kezia again and highly recommend her.”
“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)!!”
“5 star border, amazing communication throughout. Marley was so happy and content staying with Sam and her small dog. She made marley feel so loved and welcome and I knew he was in safe hands. Will continue to use in the future. Thankyou sooo much.”
“Words can’t say how happy I was with Chester’s care. It truly was home from home. I could see that he was treated as one of the family including the children. I liked that he could cuddle on the sofa in the evening with Jodie as he does with me at home and he had the freedom of the house. I would 100% recommend her. fabulous family environment”
About: I've had 3 years + experience with pets, taking care of dogs as young as 8 months to 11 years old, from Greyhounds to Cairn Terriors. Throughout this time I've joined Zoom recall training for a Beagle puppy I cared for, provided post operative care and administered medication to my most senior dogs. I'm currently volunteering for The Cinnamon Trust charity to help the elderly walk their dogs as well as being a member of Borrowmydoggy. I now have 2 dogs of my own, 2 sausage dogs who love meeting new pooches. I work full time but I have evenings and weekends free to offer dog walking and Drop in visits for any pet from Turtles to Rabbits as well as Dogs. I have a reasonable sized garden fully fenced off and bolt gated. My first priority is your pet at all times. Ensuring doors are shut, the correct diet is given to those with special requirements and medication is administered on time. I am aware of the current concern around dog theft so therefore I am always happy to keep doors locked and don't mind the use of indoor cameras, as long as I'm warned to look presentable 😂
“Mark was fantastic start to finish. From the moment we booked he was interested in getting to know what our dog needed and liked. Communication was fantastic and our dog was clearly really well cared for. Scruff had a fantastic time and we will definitely use Mark again. Can’t recommend highly enough!”
“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!”
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.
“Jill and her family looked after Leif for 6 nights while we were on holiday. She sent us plenty of updates daily and made sure to let us know that Leif was doing well and was comfortable. He had an absoltuely great time there and was like part of the family. We trust Jill endlessly and are already booking Leif's next visit. Thank you x x”

“Tania has been the most amazing cat sitter over the last couple of weeks. Words can't explain how grateful I am for her care and attention towards Mango. We arranged a meet and greet and everything clicked right away. Tania has been incredibly friendly and reliable. She has been accommodating to all of my requests, even those that were made at short notice. I highly recommend Tania and look forward to working with her again soon.”
“Sy looked after my cat really well. I was sent loads of photos and videos of Daisy and was able to relax on holiday knowing my cat was well looked after. I would definitely book Sy again to look after my cat.”
“Couldn’t be happier with Jodie. She took care of our cat Bella so well, we got updates, photos and Jodie went above and beyond. We had ducklings hatch in our garden and Jodie fed and led them to the river with no questions asked. Couldn’t recommend her enough. Her care and compassion really shows and Bella was so happy 😀 will be booking Jodie again in a couple weeks for another holiday 😀”
“A pleasant caring young lady. After meeting Ocean, I went away knowing that my cat would be well looked after and I could go away without worrying. I will definitely be asking Ocean to look after Marble again. Thank you Ocean.”
“Denise was great all week while sitting for Buffy. It was the first time I’ve had to leave her alone for so long, and Denise quickly put my mind at ease. We received photo or video updates every day so I could see that Buffy was completely comfortable around Denise. Would definitely book again.”
“I recently hired Ren for dog walking/drop in visits, and I couldn't be happier with my experience. From the initial consultation, it was clear that Ren genuinely cares about dogs. Ren took the time to get to know Reggie, understanding his needs energy levels and generally bonding with him which was so lovely to see. Communication with Ren was amazing, she is very organised and we received quick responses to messages where she specified certain requirements and was always was willing to fit in with our plans. Ren provided regular updates and photos, which put my mind at ease while I was at work and were very comical too. I appreciated the reliability and professionalism always on time and ready to take care of Reggie’s every need. We can’t wait to have Ren to look after to Reggie again, it’s amazing when you find someone who cares for your dog as much as you do! Thank you Ren and see you soon”
“Laura was fantastic and we couldn’t have asked for better to care for our elderly, nervous cat. She was respectful of the cat’s space, caring for her welfare, and her communication was excellent. It was real peace of mind to know that our pet was in such safe hands. Will definitely use again and would recommend without hesitation!”
“I have used Amanda's services on two occasions and I can highly recommend her. She arrives on time and sends pictures and details of her visit. She obviously has a way with cats as mine is not a people person but seems to like her. 😺”
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.
“Alex looked after Daisy very well whilst I was away. He sent me daily photos and updates so I didn't need to worry about my cat. He also came round to meet Daisy before the booking and made sure he had all the information he needed. I would happily book Alex again to look after my cat.”
About: I’ve always thought cats were adorable, and I had the chance to help care for my high school roommate’s cat. I helped with feeding, playing, and keeping the cat company. While I don’t have my own cat, I’m gentle, responsible, and excited to care for every cat with patience and attention.
About: I’ll always remember my first cat when I was really little. Completely black except for his cute little white chin and his four white socks. His name was Casper because we loved the film. He was the best cat who was so resilient to how ever we played with him. I have a photo some where with him laying on his back with a dummy in his mouth, he was such a good cat that also loved us so much back. Ever since then I have always respected and loved cats and enjoy taking care of them and will love to take care of yours - although I am so of course aware of the difference In personality they can have and many enjoy just the odd little nod here and there and to be fed - this is fine too. Your cat needs will be taken care of and will be loved whilst you’re away whether it’s from close by or from across the room.
About: I have always loved cats. Having one of my own is the best feeling. I have looked after kittens and adult cats, so i would say i am experienced. I know when cats want to be left alone and when they want a cuddle (just like myself). I have looked after family and friends animals for days, nights and holidays. I am more than okay cleaning out the litter tray and any accidents if they are to occur.
“Katrina was very enthusiastic and helpful as we booked her at short notice. She kept us informed and supplied good feedback about her visit to Buddy. We will be very happy to book her again.”

“Forest has had a wonderful day. I am so thankful I found Shelley on here. She has kept me updated with photo's and messages all day. Will most definitely be using her again. I have a feeling he will be sleeping well tonight ?”
“Monty had clearly had a lovely day with Mark and the other dog that Mark was sitting for that day. Mark sent lots of photos and updates and let me know how he was getting on. Monty is highly food motivated and an accomplished thief which Mark managed well. Monty looked very relaxed and was quite happy to settle back in the other dog's bed when I arrived to take him home.”
“Maya spent a few days at France’s home, and she was so well cared for. Maya looked comfortable and settled in quickly. Frances made sure she had attention throughout the day, and it was lovely to receive little updates and photos so we knew how she was getting on. Maya came home happy, relaxed, and clearly enjoyed her time there. We’re really pleased to have found someone so reliable, friendly, and caring. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend France’s and will definitely book with her again!”

About: I work from home and live with my little 3 year old Labrador. I’ve looked after many dogs previously and quite often end up with my families dogs coming to stay as well. I’m up and out by 7ish with my Labrador, and she gets 3 good walks a day, either at the park or the beach or longer on a weekend when we can go exploring I have a fenced garden with grass and patio, my dog is very friendly and sociable so will play nicely along with others. I work from home so plenty of toilet breaks and multiple cuddles during the day
“My two little dachshunds were perfectly happy spending the day with Milly - they felt comfortable with her right away and looked like they had a great day. She was also very helpful and accommodating with the drop-off, which made everything much easier for us. Thank you!”
About: Must be child friendly 💜 One of my favourite things to do when taking care of dogs is taking them on days out and visiting different dog friendly places with them - if that’s also their thing! We love to go on a lot of walks, staying active and stimulated. We also have a cemetery moments away which is popular to us dog walkers for all types of dog personalities due to the lead only rule - great for those that prefer to be on a walk uninterrupted. I know that some dogs do struggle with separation anxiety which is why one of my strategies is to take them out on a walk almost immediately after a drop off as it rather quickly settles them and helps them to form a bond and trust with me. They will receive lots of love, attention and play - your dog’s happiness will be my top priority. I believe that I am not providing just a care for your companions but also in a way, their owners too. You will receive lots of photos and updates throughout their stay, that is something extremely important to me to provide for you as I know how at ease it’ll make you feel whilst you’re away from your pets and I will want to make sure you can enjoy your time away with all the reassurance you need! - I lock in prices so if my fees are to go up in the future they will always remain at the original price for you. I work early during the day whilst my partner works during the night, there will always be someone here at the house for your dog! I will like to know your routine to keep it as similar as it is when they’re at home I can. We will love for you to bring their home comforts.
“Couldn’t recommend Avinash enough! Avinash looked after our girl recently, and was absolutely brilliant with her. He asked questions before meeting her to ensure he understood her needs and normal routine. You can really tell he does this because of his love and passion for dogs. We feel very content and so did our girl!”
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.
“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.”
“Kezia looked after my 14 week old cockapoo puppy today. It was a big step to leave him for the first time, but Kezia and her partner were really lovely, helpful and accommodating from the initial 'meet & greet' a few weeks ago though to the drop off and collection today. Kezia provided pics and updates during the booking which reassured me that Ben was having a great time. I intend to use Kezia again, I have no hesitation in recommending her to others. She was simply brilliant. Thank you so much! Clive”
“Honestly amazing. After just 1 day, Luna is already so excited when we pull up outside Kristina’s house. Very welcoming and friendly and Luna always comes away very happy and tired!❤️”
“Would thoroughly recommend Colin if you’re looking for dog care. He took the time to meet Finn (and us) prior to sitting and sent an update on the day to let us know Finn had settled well in his home. I’d hope to use him again if he’s available.”

I have popped in to look after my friends’ dogs and love taking walks with the sweethearts. I am careful and pay attention to each pets specific needs.

About: I have had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember and have always loved being around them. Over the past two summers, I have helped a family friend with their dog walking and boarding business, gaining hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. During this time, I regularly walked groups of dogs (including up to six dogs at once), ensuring they were safe, happy, and well cared for. I also provided house sitting and looked after dogs while owners were away, including maintaining their routines, giving them plenty of attention, and making sure they felt comfortable in their own environment. I understand that every dog is different, and I take the time to get to know their individual needs, whether that’s a long walk, playtime, companionship, or simply a calm and reassuring presence while their owners are away. I would love the opportunity to provide your dog with the same care and attention I would give my own. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine, and I have plenty of time to dedicate to providing dogs with exercise, attention, and companionship. I am available for walks during the day on Mondays and Wednesdays, as well as some evenings and throughout weekends. I enjoy spending time outdoors and being around dogs, so dog walking and pet care are a great fit for my routine. I can also offer dog sitting, providing a calm and caring environment where dogs can feel comfortable while their owners are away. I am happy to spend time with dogs throughout the day, maintain their usual routines, give them plenty of attention, and make sure they feel happy and well looked after. I provide care in the pet owner’s home, helping dogs feel comfortable by keeping their normal routines as consistent as possible. I take the time to understand each dog’s individual needs, including their walking routine, feeding schedule, medication (if required), favourite activities, and any specific preferences. I provide plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and companionship while making sure dogs feel safe and relaxed in their own environment. I treat every home and pet with respect, keeping the space clean and tidy and ensuring owners receive regular updates so they can feel reassured while they are away.
About: Hi! I'm Ren and I'm 29, based in Suffolk. Growing up with dogs, cats, ducks, chickens, horses, and rabbits, I've nurtured a deep understanding of their needs and behaviours, treating each furry or feathered friend with the utmost care and affection. I've successfully trained dogs in essential commands and behaviours, including the joy of attending specialised agility classes. Over 10 years of owning huskies has taught me invaluable lessons in patience and the importance of individualised attention. By choosing me as your pet sitter, you're selecting a devoted caregiver who will treat your pet as part of my own extended family. Their happiness, safety, and comfort are my heartfelt priorities 🥰 Pet care is seamlessly integrated into my daily routine, especially since I work from home. This allows me the flexibility to provide constant companionship and attention to your pet throughout the day. Whether it's regular feeding schedules, playtime breaks, or ensuring they get their daily exercise, I prioritise their well being as a natural part of my daily schedule. It also means I can be readily available for any unexpected needs or extra cuddle sessions your pet may require, ensuring they feel loved and cared for at all times. **Drop In’s’ - For a 60 minute visit, I include a 30 minute walk. If it’s a 30 minute visit, I typically aim for a quick 15 minute stroll or play in the garden, to ensure there’s still time for play, feeding, and getting everything all settled before I have to leave ☺️ When pets are in my home, I create a comfortable environment with designated spaces for rest and play. I ensure they get regular exercise, nutritious meals, and plenty of affection. When caring for pets in their own homes, I maintain their routines, provide companionship, and respect their environment while keeping owners updated on their well being with messages even coming from themselves! Please note: I’m only able to accept bookings in smoke and vape-free homes with convenient parking available nearby.
“Great weekly dog walking service from Mark! He's taken time to build trust with our dog who can get anxious around new people, and now gets absolutely excited about the walks with him, and his updates are always lovely and timely. Thank you so much xx”

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.
About: I’ve had dogs in my family all my life and have experienced looking after many different dogs. Angel, the 16 year old lab with arthritis to Obi, my German Shepherd that I raised from 8 weeks old. I work full time with majority of shifts being 7am - 3pm or 2pm - 10pm, my days are flexible. I also do not have any child care or family obligations which would be holding me back. I treat any pet like I do my own, with love and care. When your pet is in my care I ensure to follow all relevant instructions to keep your pet safe and happy. I am also in the process of completing my pet first-aid certification.
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.
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.
“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: I have experience in taking care of family and friends dogs including house sitting and taking them on their required walks. I am also more than happy to look after cats and potentially any other animals if required :) I am current studying at uni a few days a week so I have a lot of free time to come take care of your pets giving them the attention they need. To ensure your pets are safe I will follow any given instructions and requirements. I can also send you updates and pictures via your preferred contact method
“Amanda was lovely and very professional. She visited our dog in our home before the scheduled dog walks. I was a little apprehensive as never used a dog walker before but Amanda put us at ease and Buddy liked her a lot! Her demeanour was calm and caring. Highly recommend. Thank you for caring for our beautiful boy!”
About: I have grown up with all sizes and temperaments of dogs and have experience with puppies to senior dogs. Animals are family and I will treat yours as mine.

I am DBS enhanced, non smoking and a working Mum so used to keeping a house tidy and safe. I live close to parks, great walks and a vets!

“Serena was brilliant with our dog. We had an initial meeting beforehand so that we could all meet before the stay. This helped to put us at ease and familiarise our dog with Serena and her home and also gave Serena chance to meet the dog and she what she was like before having her stay. During the stay we had regular updates, our dog was well looked after and had plenty of attention and walks.”
“Gitana is a brilliant sitter! We left our springer cross (Dora) with her for 6 nights and she had a great time. Gitana was excellent with communication, updating us everyday with pictures. Gitana was also happy to meet beforehand for a pre-meet with us and Dora. If you are considering using Gitana I would strongly recommend!”

“5 star border, amazing communication throughout. Marley was so happy and content staying with Sam and her small dog. She made marley feel so loved and welcome and I knew he was in safe hands. Will continue to use in the future. Thankyou sooo much.”
“Words can’t say how happy I was with Chester’s care. It truly was home from home. I could see that he was treated as one of the family including the children. I liked that he could cuddle on the sofa in the evening with Jodie as he does with me at home and he had the freedom of the house. I would 100% recommend her. fabulous family environment”
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.

“If only Sarah & Paul lived closer to home I’d leave Maisie with them regularly, and aim to befriend them too! What a delightful couple who live in a home & garden designed to be a 5 star accommodation for dogs! Maisie obviously had such a lovely time, I feel the need to book another holiday in Suffolk just so she can stay again. Thanks so much.”
“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”
“Sarah and her husband had our 11 month old Labrador Toby for the weekend. You could not find kinder people to look after your dog. Plenty of updates to let us know he was okay and it was clear that he had enjoyed his time with Sarah and her family”
“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.”
“This was our first time ever using a dog sitter and I can not recommend Bianca enough. She certainly does love and care for your dog like they are hers. Bonnie has been out on adventures and enjoyed cuddles and even got to meet Bianca’s family. I was at ease with updates and pictures daily of Bonnie and we could see how happy she was. Thank you so much 🥰”

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.
“We felt very confident leaving our elderly dog with Hayley and Paul. He received excellent care and settled in well. I recommend Hayley without hesitation and certainly would leave our boy with her again.”
“Oscar seems to have had a great time with Lily. Lily was very welcoming, clearly loves and understands dogs, and sent us photos for reassurance. Oscar was immediately at home with Lily and had enjoyed a trip to Cromer beach for a run around. We would have no hesitation in recommending Lily, and, happily for us, she would be happy to have Oscar again sometime!”
