“I couldn’t have hoped for better! Monica was amazing with my nervous and reactive rescue dog. She was patient and kind. He was comfortable with her in no time. Her communication was excellent and we had regular updates and pictures/video. She followed my directions to the letter. It was like my dog had a little holiday himself as Monica loved him like he was her own. Thank you so much!!!”
“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)!!”
“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”
“Beau has returned yesterday from a two day/ one night stay with Serena in her lovely home. Serena is fabulous & clearly has a love for dogs which helped put me at ease when leaving Beau; she was also more than happy to accommodate my request for a ‘meet & greet’ prior to his overnight stay so we could ensure everyone was comfortable. Beau was very well looked after during his stay and it was nice to receive updates from Serena throughout so we could enjoy our time away knowing Beau was happy. I’d highly recommend Serena to anyone looking for a boarder & won’t hesitate to use her again in the future.”

“Vanessa is helpful, friendly and so clearly an animal lover! She has a wonderful home and looked after our Daisy - Shih-Tzu pup - so well. She kept us updated with how Daisy was getting on and how she was settling in - which seemed to be straight away! Vanessa is conscientious and obviously knows how to handle all animals, making sure that they are safe and comfortable. We wouldn't hesitate to take our Daisy back to Vanessa at any time.”
“Gitana and her family are simply wonderful! From the clear and quick communication when arranging the sit, to the warm and reassuring drop off, to the frequent pictures and messages during the sit, and the full handover on collection, I couldn't have asked for a better experience of leaving Arlo with sitters for the weekend. I'll absolutely be requesting to book Gitana again in the future - thank you! X”
“Mark provided a great service from start to finish. I would highly recommend Mark and we will be using him in the future. You can see Mark has a passion for taking care of dogs and gives off a kind caring nature when you meet him. Our dog Cooper had a great time at Mark's, he sent regular updates, pictures and videos, which were nice to receive. We could see on our return that Cooper felt at home. this was very reassuring to us. Thanks again to Mark, keep up the great work :)”
“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!”
“Bianca was amazing! Our dog was well loved after, walked, fed, she even let her sleep in her bed! I got all the pictures they were lovely. Definitely will be leaving Jazzy with you again, thank you very much!”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care she gave to my dog while I was on holiday. She sent me pictures and videos every single day, which gave me so much peace of mind. My dog is usually afraid of new people, but after just two days he was completely comfortable and happy with her. It was clear he felt safe, loved, and well cared for. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and kind dog sitter.”
“Annie welcomed Cora from 1st minute until collected the next day. Lots of updates and lovely photos throughout the day made me feel calm that she was in safe hands and meticulously cared for. Everything went seamlessly, and would not hesitate to book again. Thank you Annie”
“Katelyn looked after our anxious Shiba Inu at short notice. He seemed to settle with her very quickly and Katelyn kept us updated with photos and videos whilst we were away. This was the first time we had left Udon with anyone and he got on really well. We were very happy and would definitely 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.”
About: I’m a caring and responsible dog lover with hands-on experience looking after dogs. I have my own 3-year-old Cavapoo called Archie, so I have plenty of experience with day-to-day care, walks, feeding, playtime and training. I’ve also helped look after friends’ dogs, so I’m comfortable with different personalities, routines and needs. I understand how important it is to know your dog is happy, safe and well cared for while you’re away, and I’ll always treat them with the same love and attention I give Archie. I work from home, so I have plenty of flexibility throughout the day to give pets attention, walks, playtime and company. I can care for dogs at my home or stay at the owner’s home, depending on what works best. If I’m staying at the owner’s home, Archie would need to come with me as he is my own dog and is very friendly. I always put a pet’s safety and wellbeing first. I have a completely fenced and secure garden where dogs can safely enjoy some outdoor time. Archie is friendly and is used to roaming freely around the house, but I also have a stair gate and a crate available if either dog needs some extra space, separation or a quiet place to settle. When caring for a pet in their own home, I would follow their usual routine and make sure they feel comfortable and secure in familiar surroundings. I’m respectful of people’s homes and understand how important it is to build trust with both the owner and their pet.

“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.”
“Denise did a fabulous job of looking after my two cats. She came at a consistent time to give them a routine, made sure she saw them both and gave them a treat after eating. I received a lovely update every day which was very reassuring. Thank you Denise.”
“Jodie is amazing, our little cat Sylvie had a great time in her care over our long weekend away and it was so comforting knowing she was in such good care! You can tell Jodie cares so much about every cat and adapts her visits to do what's best for them as much as possible. We'll definitely be booking again for future trips 😊”
“Laura was amazing! We have a rather shy cat, Eustace, so we were pleased that she was keen to come to meet him before we went away. She must 'talk cat', as Eustace came out from behind the sofa within minutes and let Laura talk to him and feed him treats. This was very reassuring for us. When we were away, Laura messaged us with detailed updates and photos. We could see that she was building a good relationship with him. We will definitely ask Laura to look after Eustace again. The only worry we had was that Eustace would be disappointed when we got home!”
“Milly was a joy to work with, was able to help me and eggy out on short notice. He had a wonderful time lots of cuddles. Milly communicated clearly and gave me an update after each visit. Would definitely book again!”

“Amanda took away any worries or concerns we had about us going away and leaving Reg our cat . We were more than happy with the service she gave us . We will use her again without any hesitation. Bruce.”
“Great to speak to and very welcoming to a first time cat owner needing help from a fellow animal lover when I needed to go away. Would 1000% recommend, very courteous, professional and will be booking again when needed. Thanks for your help Mark”
“Tania was a wonderful cat sitter for us whilst we went away, she came in at short notice, did everything we asked, did her best to bond with our 2 cats despite them being very shy around new people. The daily updates were perfect & put us at ease as we had never used a service like this before. Cannot recommend Tania enough :)”
“Cannot thank you enough for the love you have given our little biscuit whilst we were away at a wedding, very clear that biscuit took to you quickly and lots of pics provided. Will 100% book again, thank you”
“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 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.

“Charlotte looked after my nervous boy Ozzy, I couldn’t have been happier with how he was looked after. Charlotte made sure he had plenty of toilet breaks and play time. Ozzy settled eventually and I couldn’t be more grateful for how he was looked after. Thankyou Charlotte ❤️”
“This was our first time using 'Rover' and it went really well. We are very happy to recommend Colin, who looked after Kiki for us while we were at a wedding in the area. As soon as we arrived, we could tell that Kiki was going to be looked after really well. Thank you Colin! Much appreciated.”
“Thank you for excellent puppy day care for Snoopy! She must have had a fun day as she was very calm and sleepy all evening. Plenty of videos and pictures as well to see what she has been up to. She will be excited to come back next week 🐶”
“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!”

“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”
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.
“Thank you Milly for taking care of our furbabies for doggie day care for the first time. Milly gave great direction for home stay and the car park. Brilliant communication throughout the process. Giving excellent update, activities and photos.”
“Murphy had a great time playing with Codie. I was kept updated with a message and picture when he was with Marc for the afternoon and would be happy to have him look after Murphy again in future.”
About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life. Since I was young, I’ve loved caring for stray dogs and helping them whenever possible. When I was 16, my family adopted a dog, and I’ve been responsible for daily care including feeding, walking, playing, and spending quality time together. I understand that every dog has a different personality, and I’m patient, gentle, and committed to making pets feel happy and secure. I currently have a flexible schedule and am available to provide pet care throughout the week. Even when I start a part-time job, I will carefully manage my schedule to make sure I have enough time for walks, feeding, playtime, and giving pets the attention they need. I will always communicate my availability clearly and be reliable. I always follow each pet owner’s instructions carefully and make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I pay close attention to their routines, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special needs. I keep the environment clean, never leave pets unattended in unsafe situations, and provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident while they’re away.
About: Hi, I Qualified as a Veterinary Nurse in 2011, since then I’ve worked with lots of pets. I’m no longer in practice and have a home business so I’m home all day to take care of your pets. We have a large family home, enclosed garden and super dog walks right outside our front door. Our dogs are a huge part of our family, I always struggle to find someone who will love my girls as much as I do when we go away, so I thought why not provide someone with peace of mind when they go away! We have two daughters, Two Dalmatians and an elderly chihuahua. Our dogs are super friendly but we have a large enough home that any dogs that do need space or a more quiet break I can happily accommodate. Needless to say I’m happy with providing all required medications to your pet, including pets that are recovering from surgery. If you’d like to ask any questions please don’t hesitate to contact me I currently have a home business that I typically work from my office in our home around 1-2 hours a day. No set hours and I am my own boss so I set the rules! I have a good sized back garden that is fully fenced and secure. Lovely big house and has minimal clutter! I’m happy to accommodate all ages of dogs. I do have a large crate that can be set up in our second living room for any dogs that require a crate.

“My pet dog Bowie has an amazing time with Kristina. She's very accommodating, though we contacted her rather last minute. We received communication from her throughout the day. The whole experience is stress free and we would definitely recommend Kristina to anyone, and will use her service again in the future.”
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
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.

“Amanda is super reliable and has helped us out a couple of times with our pup Jarv who looks like he has the best time with her. My partner and I are super grateful - thank you!!”
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: I’ve always looked after family’s pets whilst they’re away on holiday. I frequently look after my friends dogs / cats whilst they go away either at theirs or mine. I love long walks & looking after animals 🐾 I work part time as a care and support worker, I spend a lot of time at home & in the garden in my spare time I have a fully fenced garden, with space to have a run around, I have room for anything you’d like to bring over to the house.
About: Hi! I'm Ren and I'm 30, 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.
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.

About: Hi, I’m Daisy, a friendly, reliable animal lover who’s grown up around dogs and is now excited to start offering dog walking and pet sitting. While I don’t have lots of professional dog‑care experience yet, I’m eager to learn, passionate about all animals, and confident following instructions to make sure each dog feels safe, happy, and understood. What I’m really looking for are dogs I can get outside with for regular walks, fresh air, and exercise. I’m patient, calm, and enjoy spending time outdoors, so walking suits me perfectly.I also offer pet sitting, but only in the owner’s home due to staying in university accommodation. Any pet is suitable except cats due to allergies. I’m passionate about all animals, and what I enjoy most is getting dogs outside for fresh air, exercise, and enrichment. I take the time to understand each dog’s personality, pace, and needs, and I always prioritise safety using secure leads, staying aware of surroundings, and keeping communication open with owners. During pet‑sitting, I follow routines closely, keep the environment calm, and make sure your dog feels relaxed in their own home. At the moment, I’m available on weekday evenings, full‑day weekends, and for holidays. I can’t confirm weekday daytime availability until I receive my university timetable. If you’re looking for someone kind, trustworthy, and enthusiastic to care for your dog, I’d love to help. Pet care fits well into my weekly routine. I’m available for dog walking and pet sitting on weekday evenings, Wednesday afternoons and fridays, full‑day weekends, and holidays. I love getting dogs outside for fresh air and exercise, so I make time for regular walks and attention whenever I’m with them. My routine focuses on consistent care, evening availability, and weekend flexibility. I only offer pet sitting in the owner’s home, as I live in university accommodation. This helps pets feel relaxed in their familiar environment. I follow each dog’s routine closely, including feeding times, walking schedules, and any special instructions. I always prioritise safety by using secure leads, staying aware of surroundings, and keeping communication open with owners. I take time to understand each dog’s personality, pace, and needs, and I keep the environment calm and reassuring so they feel comfortable. My approach centres on pet safety, routine consistency, and trust-building
“Alys arrived in good time. And took Myrtle out for a walk. Myrtle was so happy to be going out with Alys and had a great walk and came back exhausted. It was a real bonus to be sent pictures of Myrtle on her walk.”
About: I am looking to take care of some sweet animals when their owners are away. I’d love to take them for walks or check in to make sure they are alright - needing food and/or love. 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. I am currently a teacher on summer break with a lot of free time while school is out. While I will not be able to extend my services past summer, I will take care of your pet in the time I have! I’m currently on summer holiday and have loads of free time to walk your pooch. I will treat them kindly and make sure they are given lots of love! I have a fenced in garden and plenty of space. I do have a dog of my own and he is extremely loving and adores being around other pups.
“Montisha walked our cocker spaniel to prepare for a dog sitting next week. She arrived promptly, very polite and rocco come home looking like he’d thoroughly enjoyed his walk 🐶 received a picture and some comments of the walk after to let us know how it went! Would recommend 🙂”
About: I have helped look after friends and family pets over the last 5 years. I love being out in nature going on long walks. I love all types of dogs. I have a history with small and big dogs. I have periods of flexible working from home. My own car so can travel to your pet. I do not have children so have good flexibility. I would prefer to walk your dog or can sit with your dog at its own house rather than at mine. I’m currently based in an apartment so not always ideal depending on the type of dog.
“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”
About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life. Since I was young, I’ve loved caring for stray dogs and helping them whenever possible. When I was 16, my family adopted a dog, and I’ve been responsible for daily care including feeding, walking, playing, and spending quality time together. I understand that every dog has a different personality, and I’m patient, gentle, and committed to making pets feel happy and secure. I currently have a flexible schedule and am available to provide pet care throughout the week. Even when I start a part-time job, I will carefully manage my schedule to make sure I have enough time for walks, feeding, playtime, and giving pets the attention they need. I will always communicate my availability clearly and be reliable. I always follow each pet owner’s instructions carefully and make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I pay close attention to their routines, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special needs. I keep the environment clean, never leave pets unattended in unsafe situations, and provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident while they’re away.
About: Since the age of 13 I have looked after friends and families pets from cats, dogs, horses, rabbits and guinea pigs. Between the ages of 18-21 I worked off recommendations for house sits and now that I work fully remote I have the opportunity to be available throughout the day. I can provide many recommendations for peace of mind for overnight house sits, drop ins and walks 🐶 Im currently self employed as a social media manager and photographer so I have lots of time spent at my laptop at home. This way I can be entirely flexible around you and your beloved pets needs! In my own home I currently have no pets of my own so they will be my sole focus, with a fenced in garden. In your own home I will stay in constant communication with you and run through everything so we are both happy we will be keeping your family member safe

“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)!!”
“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”
“Beau has returned yesterday from a two day/ one night stay with Serena in her lovely home. Serena is fabulous & clearly has a love for dogs which helped put me at ease when leaving Beau; she was also more than happy to accommodate my request for a ‘meet & greet’ prior to his overnight stay so we could ensure everyone was comfortable. Beau was very well looked after during his stay and it was nice to receive updates from Serena throughout so we could enjoy our time away knowing Beau was happy. I’d highly recommend Serena to anyone looking for a boarder & won’t hesitate to use her again in the future.”
“Harry really enjoyed his time with Sarah. We received pics and updates everyday. We were confident we left him in good hands. Due to unforeseen circumstances we had to pick Harry up 2 days later than planned but Sarah was fine with that. We would highly recommend Sarah to anyone who needs a home from home for their pet while they’re away.”
“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.”
“Mia is an exceptional host for Rover, both Lexi & Marley have really enjoyed there stay with Mia, l will be 100% be booking again when l need to be away from home. 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”
“Gitana and her family are simply wonderful! From the clear and quick communication when arranging the sit, to the warm and reassuring drop off, to the frequent pictures and messages during the sit, and the full handover on collection, I couldn't have asked for a better experience of leaving Arlo with sitters for the weekend. I'll absolutely be requesting to book Gitana again in the future - thank you! X”
“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.”
About: Growing up around animals I have gained experience in loving for horses, dogs, cats, reptiles and many more! I used to own two lovely girl rats (Luna and CC) and now I have a 1 year old puppy named Finn! I am keen to transfer my animal loving nature towards your furry (or otherwise) children! I have owned many dogs through my time around animals big and small, I will attach some pictures of my previous pups down below! In my early years I owned a lovely pony called Rio, which involved early mornings and late nights of TLC. I own my own vehicle as well as a range of dog seat belt sizes, so if your dog enjoys time at the beach or would just enjoy some new scenery I can accommodate that too! No ask is too much! I work part time Wednesday to Saturday 9-5:30 so anything before or after those hours works great! Monday, Tuesday and Sunday I am fully flexible for you! Due to me and partner having small animals in my home for your pets safety and theirs I am only able to pet sit over night in your home, or if your animal is okay being on their own, and you just need me to pop by for potty breaks, walks or feeding/medication, I can do that too!
“Bianca was amazing! Our dog was well loved after, walked, fed, she even let her sleep in her bed! I got all the pictures they were lovely. Definitely will be leaving Jazzy with you again, thank you very much!”

“Katelyn looked after our anxious Shiba Inu at short notice. He seemed to settle with her very quickly and Katelyn kept us updated with photos and videos whilst we were away. This was the first time we had left Udon with anyone and he got on really well. We were very happy and would definitely 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.”

“This is our first time using Rover and we could not be any happier with the choice we met. Judit and her family took wonderful care of our dog. Due to being July and our normal kennels fully booked , Rover came as a life saviour. We are fully recommending Judit and her family; they are professional, friendly and K had a home from home. Beautiful pictures and our dog was so happy there We will be using them again in the future! Thank you, Anca and James!”
“Nicholas was very attentive to Millies needs. Millie can be anxious around new people, but Nicholas was very understanding and experienced when interacting and caring for her. I would highly recommend his services to anyone who want a 5 star service for their pets.”
