“Matthew did a great job looking after Milo whilst we were on holiday. It was lovely to have lots of updates from Matthew on how Milo was doing and he seemed very settled and content. We would thoroughly recommend Matthew.”
“We chose one of the hottest days of the year to leave our black and white border collie with Stacey. She was so good with him. He just wanted to stay cool in the hall and she gave him a fan and lots of water. Communication with Stacey was excellent from start to finish. As we were travelling a distance, we were unable to have a meet and greet but it was so reassuring when Stacey was keen to enquire about Robbie’s likes and dislikes before he boarded with her. I would have no hesitation in asking Stacey to look after Robbie if we are in the area again.”
“Sara was more than brilliant with our flat coated retriever. The multiple updates throughout the visit from photos to videos was so reassuring! Sara made Basil (our dog) feel so part of her family! He was very spoilt with lots of hugs, walks and playtime. The attention to detail was brilliant. Any small concern or question was put to me straight away instead of just being assumed. It really shows that Sara knows our dog and his routine / mannerisms. Only the level of detail and understanding you can discover by spending real time and investing love and care. Thank you for providing us the best ever dog boarding experience. We will be sending Basil to Sara for every small weekend away to every longer holiday from now on! Knowing with 100% confidence that our loved dog is in very good hands!”
“My (nearly) 7-year old cockerpoo, Lottie, stayed with Darren and Tom for two nights. We were welcomed into their home and met the adorable Ralph (also a cockerpoo). I received regular updates via Rover, and timely replies to my messages. Before the stay we were able to pop round and meet them, and just check the dogs were going to be okay together. I now have another booking for next month. Highly recommend.”
“Diya had amazing day with Alex. Baby girl was tired and looks like she had mega fun with alex. We are very pleased and we're on ease knowing Diya was in safe place.”
“perfect lovely kind responsive sitter, sent me photos of how many kisses my dog was giving her so I knew he was really happy!! very chilled and happy when he got home and would highly recommend and use again thankyou Karolina xx”
“Will and Ruby watched my Boxer for 4 nights and did an amazing job. They even went above and beyond when our lead accidentally broke on a walk—replacing it immediately without any hesitation. Total professional, highly responsible, and excellent with high-energy dogs. Our dog was well loved and well cared for.”
About: I absolutely love dogs and treat every pup as if they’re my own. I have personal experience caring for a large breed reactive rescue dog, which has given me a great deal of patience and understanding when it comes to dogs that need a little extra attention on their walks. I’m reliable, attentive and genuinely enjoy long walks, playtime and giving lots of cuddles. Since losing my own dog in March, I’ve got so much love to give, and I’d love to share it with your pup. Whether your dog loves energetic walks or prefers a slower sniff-around, I’m happy to match their pace and personality. My goal is always a happy, relaxed dog with a waggy tail (and a happy owner too!). As a previous Rover customer myself, I know how much regular photos and updates mean, so you can count on great communication and plenty of reassurance that your pup is in good hands. I’m always happy to do a meet and greet before to put you and your pup at ease. I run my own business and work from home regularly, which means I have flexibility throughout the week to fit pet care around my day. I already head out for a lunchtime walk most days, so I’m always happy to have some canine company along the way! On walks, I always keep dogs on a lead. When caring for your dog in your own home, your pet’s comfort and routine always come first. I’ll follow your instructions closely, stick to their usual schedule, and make sure they feel safe and settled the whole time. I’m attentive, patient and never take risks when it comes to someone else’s beloved pet. If your dog is boarding with us, they’ll be staying in a warm, welcoming home with a securely fenced garden, cosy beds and blankets, though you’re more than welcome to bring their own home comforts too! My husband and I are both at home regularly, so there’ll always be two of us around to keep your pup company and make sure they feel right at home.
“I have never met such a kind and caring person as Tabitha, Chloe was in her element she was really happy when I picked her up - so much so she didn't want to come home. Thank You Tabitha you are amazing 🐶”
“There are not enough stars to express how amazing was our dogs stay at Billy and Page home ❤️ Our doggo is a big rescue with anxiety issues and can be difficult at times, but Billy and Page handles him so well, and he was so happy to stay with them. We were receiving updates and pictures throughout his stay, which made us so happy and more relaxed knowing he was doing just fine. Thank you Billy and Page ! Mazylis absolutely loved staying with you ??? See you again soon”
“Thank you Alex for giving Chewy such a wonderful stay! Alex is a really diligent and considerate pet sitter; she really took the time to get to know Chewy - who is an elderly boy - ahead of his stay. During his stay she provided lots of updates that provided a lot of reassurance to us. We wouldn't hesitate to use Alex again.”
“We were so worried leaving our 3month old puppy, but Guy and his family were so welcoming when we met them, and have a lovely home. We were given so much reassurance from as soon as we booked with Guy that Maverick would be fine. Guy gave us daily updates on Maverick and it looked like he had the best time too. We will definitely be using Guy again and would 100% recommend him and his family.”
“Cora has had a wonderful time with Maddi, Freddie and the boys 🐶🐶🐶 It was so lovely to receive frequent photos of her looking so happy and at home. Thank you for taking such excellent care of her- as if she were your own. We most definitely hope to send Cora to you again soon x”
“Ross was a fantastic sitter - providing pictures & taking care of my Leia like she was his own. She also loved the dog and child company at his house. It was like a little holiday for her. Will definitely book with Ross again.”
“Katt was everything we needed for Neville our English bulldog. So kind and gentle, it was his first stay away without us and he was a bit unsettled at night at first but with regular contact with us Katt and her partner got him through it. Nev also developed a sore ear and Katt took him to the vets to get him sorted. He received all the daily regular care with walks etc but I know that he had the extra cuddles that he would have been missing from home. I recommend Katt highly and would definitely hope that Nev could stay again.”
“Aleks is absolutely amazing and am so pleased to have found someone to look after Obi whenever we are away. He was made to feel a part of their family and we received pictures and videos on a daily basis so I knew he was having a great time. Thank you so much, Obi will definitely be seeing you again soon! X”
“Sarah was brilliant. Very accommodating about meeting up as I had concerns about how my dog would be with another dog. I got pictures and an update everyday which meant so much to the family knowing that he was being well looked after.”
“I could not be happier with Honey and Bernie's stay with Lai. They were very settled as soon as they arrived, and I received lots of photos and updates throughout their stay. I knew both dogs were very happy and relaxed, as they did not make any fuss when I came to collect them. I cannot recommend Lai highly enough.”
“Michelle and family were brilliant with Bella. All the family love dogs clearly Bella got on very well with their dogs who are very nice Michelle took them all to the local dog park ( ross and friends ) and bella had a ball Have booked them again for other stays and highly recomend them”

“Gemma was great. She looked after our babies for a weekend and made sure all of them were fed, cuddled and played with. Despite our tricky door, she made sure to come in at the right times to make sure the cats had food. Would highly recommend. Very trusted and so good with the cats!”
“Michelle is amazing, providing updates on her visits so I know the cats are happy. Even my extremely nervous boy let Michelle sit next to him! Thank you 😊 ”
“Jemma has been so wonderful with our two nervous, shy, rescue cats as well as with me, someone nervous to leave them! She's been gentle and patient with them (and me!) and looked after them well when I was away on holiday. Regular photos and videos to reassure me that they were well were great. I highly recommend Jemma as someone who genuinely cares about animals and did a fab job looking after mine.”
“Alex was absolutely amazing with our little Otis, we had her visit one evening and one morning and the communication leading up to and during her visit was perfect. Could not ask for better 😁”
“Emma is so fab. Such a lovely person to book with and chat to, plus she is so trustworthy and great with animals. Made me feel so much better about leaving my cat overnight, knowing Emma was going to check in on her in the morning ☺️ Thanks so much Emma!!! ❤️”
“Gwyn was an excellent cat sitter. She kept in communication while I was away and sent me some lovely pictures of my cats so I knew they were happy and healthy. She is bright and bubbly and really set me at ease about being away when we discussed her visits. ”
“I can’t recommend Jaime enough. I always know my cat Daisy will be well looked after and will be happy and relaxed while I’m away. She really likes him which is part of the battle and he takes the time to fuss and play with her, devising games to keep her thinking and not getting bored. Jaime is really responsive, highlighting any issues such as my automatic feeder getting unplugged and working with me to resolve quickly.”
“Oliver is great. Second time of booking his services for cat sitting for 2 weeks. Continued updates throughout the holiday kept me happy and knowing that Poppy was in good hands. Thank you again Oliver! Highly recommend and will book again.”
“Beth cared for our beloved Augustus and honestly we could not have hoped for a better person to take such good care of him. Augustus is not used to being left but was so so comfortable around Beth because she just has an aura about her that shows how compassion and good with cats she is. Beth was also amazing at sending us photos of Augustus to keep us updated throughout the day and it was so so lovely to see him having fun with her. We couldn’t recommend Beth enough although to be honest don’t want to sing her praises too loudly because we don’t want others to book her when we need her!? Honestly though we were so so pleased with the care she gave to Gus, but also us as anxious owners and our home.”
“Couldn't be more happy! Myself and my partner were getting married, and due to a last-minute cancellation by a friend, we were desperate for someone to come and pop in to see our cat, Verity was available very last minute and couldn't have been more helpful, she came to meet Roe a few days before the visit and we came home to a very happy cat! Verity's update and photos were also very much appreciated reassuring us that our baby girl was happy, we will definitely be booking Verity again in the future.”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Abigail. She is incredibly kind and thoughtful. She took an amazing care of Nala while we were away and kept us updated with regular messages and photos. We’re so grateful everything she did and wouldn’t hesitate to book her again. Highly recommend! ”
“I came home from a long weekend away to two very happy and relaxed cats. Sara does such a brilliant job at looking after them and goes the extra mile to make sure they are comfortable and get some socialising in. Sara is my go-to catsitter, I really can't fault her! Thank you! ”
“Tabitha is great. My cat was well cared for with plenty of food, water and attention. She sent me lots of photos which was reassuring and I can see she has a genuine care for animals. I would recommend her to anyone.”
About: I have had my own cat for 9 years, so I have plenty of personal experience caring for cats and understanding their individual personalities and needs. I have also looked after cats for friends and family, including feeding, giving them attention and affection, cleaning up after them and making sure they are happy and comfortable in their own home. I understand that every cat is different, so I always take the time to get to know them and follow their usual routine. I’m caring, reliable and genuinely love spending time with animals.
“Karolina was amazing. It was so nice to know she was taking such good care of our cat, who is still quite young and needs a LOT of interaction! She provided really detailed updates and is also a really talented animal photographer who took some lovely pictures. The house was immaculate when we got home. Thank you for a fantastic service, Karolina - we appreciated it.”
“Alisha stepped in on very short notice to care for my cat Joy, and I couldn’t be more grateful. She was attentive, responsible, and clearly cared about Joy’s wellbeing. It gave me real peace of mind knowing Joy was in good hands. I’d definitely recommend Alisha to anyone needing pet care.”
“Elizabeth is very professional and reliable. We felt very comfortable with her cat sitting. She provided regular updates which were very sweet, and our kitten seemed very relaxed around her which is very nice as he’s still adjusting to meeting new people. We could really relax knowing she was looking after our cat. Would definitely recommend and will ask her to cat sit in future.”
About: I currently cat sit and have many regulars who enjoy playtime, grooming, obviously feeding and treats and cleaning of litter trays. Reviews available. Pet first aid certificate and will adminster meds. Happy to help with small animals, feathered friends and scaly varieties too while I'm at the house.

About: I have grown up with and looked after numerous dogs belonging to family & friends including Chihuahua mix, Labrador, Jack Russell, Border Collie and Spaniels. I am really keen to provide the care & peace of mind that your Dog is in the best hands. Since early 2022 I have had my own friendly playful Cockapoo called Ralph. Late 2023 I also fostered a 4 month old Dachshund for 6 weeks, that was eventually adopted at the end of the stay. I can be available to go for walks up to 3 times a day if that suits, regular toilet breaks & playtime. Your Dog can have as much or little exercise required. I am happy to be as flexible as possible to ensure your Dogs stay is as enjoyable as can be. I am aware every Dog has a routine & I am keen to not disrupt this.
“Matthew was very welcoming to Zoro and really took very good care of Zoro. He was supportive to all our requests and shared frequent updates on Zoro's wellbeing. When we picking him from Matthews, Zoro seems more relaxed and comfortable. Thanks for the service and we will in future look forward for more business.”
“Sara is absolutely amazing, she bent over backwards to accommodate our awkward times and sent us loads of video updates during Geoffrey’s stay with her. I’m always a bit nervous to leave my big bouncy giant Schnauzer with new people, but Sara has a fantastic understanding of dogs and I knew he was in safe hands, having lots of fun and plenty of love. He will definitely be back. 😍”
“Tabitha is great! Our dog loves going to spend the day with her and we know he has a great time and is really well looked after. She’s great at sending updates and pictures throughout the day too! ☺️”
“Karolina is amazing!! She was totally unphased when we turned up with Mali's bed, toys, treats and pretty much the kitchen sink! Mali has separation anxiety but enjoyed her time and has come home tired but chilled. A huge thank you to Karolina and Jamie ❤️”

“Alex was great with looking after Rufus for us. Communication was fantastic throughout the booking and daycare. Alex was really accommodating and was happy to have a meet and greet with Rufus beforehand so he could get to know her. Would be more than happy leaving Rufus with Alex again!”
“Alisha has been brilliant with Ollie and he has loved his time at doggy daycare. I received plenty of updates during the day which put my mind totally at ease. Would highly recommend Alisha!”
“Ross and his family were very warm and welcoming. He had prompt responses and upon arrival, he listened to our needs and the strategies we use to train our dog. He was very personable and our dog, Chloe, seemed to really enjoy her time with him and his family. He provided photos, took her on a long walk and did some scent work with her which she loved. Couldn’t recommend enough!”
“Teddy had another great day with Guy and made friends with another dog they were looking after. He makes himself at home there and is very well looked after. Would highly recommend if you need dog care.”
About: I am an avid pet lover and I understand how important it is to know your pets are well looked after when you’re not around. My pets are family members and are well looked after and treated as an integral part of the family. Whilst working at Companion Care Vets, I was able to offer assistance in animal care, assist in operations, dispense and help administer medications, so I am well versed in the care of animals, especially those with additional needs. I was also able to offer my home to stray cats and dogs until they were rehomed. No dog or cat is too big or too small! I have cared for a few hour old kittens to Great Danes! I have a garden, transport and spare room in my house if animals wanted/required their own space. I work from home, so I am always around to shower your pet with love and spoil them with play time. It’s their holiday too! I have a self contained garden for toilet breaks and zoomies. I have a spare room in case the fur babies need their own space whilst staying with me.
“This was the first time we used Diksha’s services. She was amazing, she took very good care of Bruno. She will definitely be our preferred sitter. Thanks Diksha”
About: I offer a pet friendly home with our un neutered Spinger Spaniel Billy and 2 cats, right next door to a large woodland (under 5 min walk). I have been taken care of dogs for friends and family for over 5 years. With my neighbours dog as regular visitor on weekdays and holiday visits from various other spaniels and terriers across the year all whom have been visiting since very small puppies. I’m experienced with puppies, middle age and older dogs. I work from home, so no dog are ever left alone and if they are staying over your pet will have its own room and bed. There are no furniture rules in this house we all cuddle up on sofas together and become one of the family. I walk in the woods 2/3 times a day for dogs that need to burn out that excessive engergy. However if your dog would prefer to just cudddle up with me on an electric blanket then this also if always on offer. I work from home everyday. As I have a spaniel, regular walks are part our daily routine, morning, afternoon and if it is a nice evening sometimes in the evening. I’m home most weekends and wouldn’t accept your request if i were to be away. I have a back garden that’s fenced in and big back doors so access when ever required. I own a friendly springer spaniel and 2 cats. I live next to the woods so if your dog does need some energy burning off, this can be easily be arranged.
“It seems like Clover had a lovely time with Holly and playing with Rodney today, she’s fast asleep now! Holly was super responsive and sent lots of pics. I’m sure Clover would love to go again 😊”
“Michelle took fantastic care of our 14-week-old puppy, Dora, while my wife and I were in the city for work. She organised a meet-and-greet beforehand, which was a great way to make sure Dora felt comfortable in her home. Her two dogs are incredibly gentle and were brilliant with Dora. Michelle was also great at keeping in touch. She checked in the day before with all the practical details and sent us lots of updates, photos and messages throughout the day, which really put our minds at ease. We picked up a happy, tired pup at the end of the day, which says it all! Thanks so much, Michelle.”

About: I had 5 years experience with my gorgeous rescue cocker spaniel Lilly. When she arrived I worked to train her and boost her confidence in a home environment after a sad start in life. I matched her energy and always had time to play and run around with her. Due to a relationship split, I don't get to see her but still have all the love to give. I have looked after dogs overnight, am happy to provide long walks, games, cuddles and have even taken pups to private fields for off lead fun! Dogs in my house are part of the family and would be allowed on my furniture (please state otherwise if that's not ok for you). I work from home 2-3 days of the week and have an hour lunch break for walks. During the day, I move between desk space and the sofa so can sit with your pup and keep them company if they need a companion. I'm happy to play fetch, tug or any other games to keep your family member entertained. I work occasional weekends and occasionally head out with friends but this would be planned in advance. I'm more than happy to take care of dogs over a weekend should you wish to go away. I will respect your meal and walk times and try to keep your routine going. I have a fenced in private garden, one gate wouldn't be suitable for really small dogs such as chihuahuas but I can adapt this with notice. Until i know your pups habits, I would accompany them at all times in the garden. I keep water bowls accessible in multiple rooms and make homely areas for your pooch to snuggle up in at any point of the day. I will always provide walks come rain or shine, however, I will not walk pups in the day if the temperature reaches 20 degrees and over.
“Jemma is absolutely lovely, really professional and very helpful. Really great with the updates and pics, would highly recommend Jemma any day. Thank you so much”
“Jimmy loves Oliver and he is great with him. Oliver is great at staying in touch and sending regular updates and photos. I would highly recommend him for walks and dog sitting.”
About: I’ve always had a huge love for animals and have hands on experience caring for dogs. I have a 6 year old Cockapoo of my own, so I’m very familiar with the day to day care, exercise, feeding, playtime, grooming and attention dogs need. I also currently work as a dog walker and pet sitter, caring for dogs with different personalities, needs and routines. I really enjoy getting to know each dog and making sure they feel safe, happy and comfortable while they’re in my care. I’m responsible, caring and patient, and I always take the time to understand each pet’s individual routine and needs. Whether it’s a walk, drop in visit, day care or house sitting, I treat every pet as if they were my own. 🐾 I am currently available full time, so please don’t hesitate to message me. I’d love to help and care for you’re pets and I look forward to hearing from you!😊 I make sure pets feel comfortable, safe and settled in their own home while their owners are away. I follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, fresh water, toilet breaks, walks, playtime and plenty of cuddles and attention. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality and individual needs, whether they prefer lots of play and exercise or a quieter, relaxed environment. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they know their pet is happy and being well cared for. I always make sure their home is left clean and secure when I leave.
About: I run my own full time dog walking and pet sitting business, Little Paws Pet Care 🐾 My background includes studies in Animal Care at school and at Shuttleworth College. I am Canine First Aid trained and have experience with senior dogs and looking after pets with medical conditions. I also have two rabbits named Eevee and Luna, they are rescue sisters and are 8 years old 🐰 Managing my business on a full time basis, some of my walk slots are already taken, but I do have limited availability. Aside from weekdays, I offer my services during the evenings and weekends, please be aware that these slots are filling up quickly! When pet sitting, I prioritise a safe and cozy atmosphere. I achieve this by thoroughly understanding and following the owner's instructions regarding feeding schedules, dietary restrictions, exercise routines, and any specific needs the pets may have. I always send regular updates, including photos and videos.
“Jamie is fantastic. Duke was very happy to go on his walks and the feedback and support Jamie has shared in just a short amount of time has helped and has put me at ease. I feel very comfortable and happy that Jamie is our walker for Duke and I’m sure will bring Duke on leaps and bounds along his journey of development.”

About: Licence reference: CB/LANW/26/003325 Hi there — I’m Sara! Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is what I truly love. Whether you’ve got a playful pup who thrives on activity, a chilled companion who prefers gentle company, or a senior dog who needs a slower pace and extra care, I make sure every guest feels safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. Dog Daycare - Supervised playgroups matched by size, age, and temperament - Enrichment, walks, and structured rest breaks - Photo/video updates so you can follow the fun Dog Boarding - Comfortable, home-from-home stays with cosy sleep setups - Routine kept consistent (your dog’s own food, schedule, and comforts) - Medication administered and special diets supported Safety & Standards - Temperament meet-and-greet before the first visit - Vaccination and health requirements in place - Clean and secure environment My aim is simple: you relax, knowing your dog is getting plenty of love, enrichment, and cuddles — and will come home content and happily tired. Because I work from home, pet care is woven into my day. I already have a dog, so regular walks and toilet breaks are part of my routine and easily extended to guests. A typical day looks like: - Morning: Up to 1 hour walk, then breakfast. - Lunchtime: neighbourhood walk to stretch legs and reset. - Evening: walk, dinner, and a final let-out before bed. If not cold, my garden door is always open so your pups can go in and out as he/she wants. If not, regular toilet breaks are provided. I tailor frequency for puppies or seniors, can administer meds, and keep your dog’s schedule consistent. With supervised introductions, friendly dogs can socialise with mine; if needed, I’m also set up to keep dogs separate and calm. You’ll get updates throughout the day so you can relax knowing their needs are covered. Secure setup: I have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time. Friendly resident dog: Introductions are slow and supervised, and I can keep dogs separate if they prefer solo time. Flexible spaces: I use baby gates to manage zones. I can crate your dog on request to match training or provide a cosy den. Clean & hazard-free: I keep a tidy home, store food/chemicals out of reach, use pet-safe cleaning products, most of them are plant-based. Constant supervision: I work from home, so dogs get regular toilet breaks, walks, and check-ins throughout the day, plus structured rest. Health & wellbeing: I follow your dog’s routine (diet, meds, cues). I ask for up-to-date vaccinations and your vet’s contact for peace of mind. Comfortable sleep: Quiet, comfy sleeping areas—happy to use your dog’s own bed/blanket to keep things familiar. Clear communication: You’ll receive photo/video updates and honest feedback. I do a meet-and-greet before the first stay to align on needs and temperament. Out & about: Walks are on-lead unless you’ve approved off-lead time in a secure area. ID tags and safety checks are standard.
About: I have been around animals all my life, we always had pets in the house growing up and as a teen I would often cat and dog sit for friends and family then I went on to study animal care at college for 2 years, volunteered at an animal shelter for 3 years and have had many kennel and cattery jobs since then and done plenty of dog walking on the side and currently still working part time at a kennels and have my own dog at home Having been around and worked with animals so much I enjoy being around them more than people, animals are my passion and I am experienced in reading animals body language and understanding them as best I can, I am also experienced in working with both puppies/kittens and senior dogs and cats I'm now currently working full time so I may not always be available during some weekdays, I try to keep my rover calendar updates around my work rota Since I have a dog at home that is not always a fan of other dogs I won't be taking care of dogs in my home and due to my work I no longer do overnight house sittings but I'm always happy to drop in and check up/hang out with your dog or cat when available and I'm happy to do dog walks. I understand having someone else in your home can be unnerving but I pride myself on being respectful of other people's property when in your homes. As for pet care I will do whatever tasks you ask, I love instructions so any info you have on your pet and their routine is much appreciated so I can offer the same level of care their owner usually would
“Matthew was great! He helped us with a last minute booking, he took our anxious, reactive fluff ball out for a long morning walk in the pouring rain (sorry!) Matthew was on time, super responsive and excellent with our pup. We’ll definitely book again :)”
“Karolina took Yoshi on a wonderful walk this morning! Yoshi had a great time, he’s come back absolutely pooped and fast asleep as I write this review. Karolina is one of our go to sitters/walkers for Yoshi as she’s super lovely, always on time and sends great updates! Thank you ☺️”
About: Hi! I’m Guy, a massive dog lover based in Wing village, surrounded by beautiful countryside and plenty of lovely walks right on our doorstep. Dogs have always been a big part of my life: I grew up with a loyal German Shepherd, later had several energetic Border Collies, and now share my home with our calm and friendly Labrador. Over the years, we’ve also welcomed many friends’ dogs into our home while they were away, so I’m very used to caring for dogs with all sorts of personalities and routines. I was lucky enough to retire early, which means I have lots of time to dedicate to the things I enjoy - staying active, being outdoors, and spending time with dogs. I’m usually at home apart from short school runs for our two boys (aged 9 and 8), who both love animals and know how to treat them gently and respectfully. My wife also mostly works from home, so your dog will never be short of company, walks, or cuddles. We have a secure, fully fenced garden that’s perfect for safe outdoor play and relaxation. Since we have our own Labrador, it’s ideal if your dog is comfortable around other dogs and children. Whether your dog enjoys long adventures or prefers a gentle stroll and quiet naps, I’ll adapt to their personality and make sure they feel at home. At home full time other than school runs while my wife also regularly works from home. I generally walk the dogs twice a day while my wife also adds additional walks. Our garden is fully fenced as we have our own dog so understand the security it requires. Our dog does come upstairs although she does sneak up to watch my wife home work and prefer this in visiting dogs.
“Georgina was great with my little Yorkie, very patient and kind. I highly reccomend Georgina, she is reliable and sent regular updates of walks with photos and routes taken 😊”

“Matthew did a great job looking after Milo whilst we were on holiday. It was lovely to have lots of updates from Matthew on how Milo was doing and he seemed very settled and content. We would thoroughly recommend Matthew.”
“Sara was more than brilliant with our flat coated retriever. The multiple updates throughout the visit from photos to videos was so reassuring! Sara made Basil (our dog) feel so part of her family! He was very spoilt with lots of hugs, walks and playtime. The attention to detail was brilliant. Any small concern or question was put to me straight away instead of just being assumed. It really shows that Sara knows our dog and his routine / mannerisms. Only the level of detail and understanding you can discover by spending real time and investing love and care. Thank you for providing us the best ever dog boarding experience. We will be sending Basil to Sara for every small weekend away to every longer holiday from now on! Knowing with 100% confidence that our loved dog is in very good hands!”
“perfect lovely kind responsive sitter, sent me photos of how many kisses my dog was giving her so I knew he was really happy!! very chilled and happy when he got home and would highly recommend and use again thankyou Karolina xx”
“Will and Ruby watched my Boxer for 4 nights and did an amazing job. They even went above and beyond when our lead accidentally broke on a walk—replacing it immediately without any hesitation. Total professional, highly responsible, and excellent with high-energy dogs. Our dog was well loved and well cared for.”
About: I absolutely love dogs and treat every pup as if they’re my own. I have personal experience caring for a large breed reactive rescue dog, which has given me a great deal of patience and understanding when it comes to dogs that need a little extra attention on their walks. I’m reliable, attentive and genuinely enjoy long walks, playtime and giving lots of cuddles. Since losing my own dog in March, I’ve got so much love to give, and I’d love to share it with your pup. Whether your dog loves energetic walks or prefers a slower sniff-around, I’m happy to match their pace and personality. My goal is always a happy, relaxed dog with a waggy tail (and a happy owner too!). As a previous Rover customer myself, I know how much regular photos and updates mean, so you can count on great communication and plenty of reassurance that your pup is in good hands. I’m always happy to do a meet and greet before to put you and your pup at ease. I run my own business and work from home regularly, which means I have flexibility throughout the week to fit pet care around my day. I already head out for a lunchtime walk most days, so I’m always happy to have some canine company along the way! On walks, I always keep dogs on a lead. When caring for your dog in your own home, your pet’s comfort and routine always come first. I’ll follow your instructions closely, stick to their usual schedule, and make sure they feel safe and settled the whole time. I’m attentive, patient and never take risks when it comes to someone else’s beloved pet. If your dog is boarding with us, they’ll be staying in a warm, welcoming home with a securely fenced garden, cosy beds and blankets, though you’re more than welcome to bring their own home comforts too! My husband and I are both at home regularly, so there’ll always be two of us around to keep your pup company and make sure they feel right at home.
“There are not enough stars to express how amazing was our dogs stay at Billy and Page home ❤️ Our doggo is a big rescue with anxiety issues and can be difficult at times, but Billy and Page handles him so well, and he was so happy to stay with them. We were receiving updates and pictures throughout his stay, which made us so happy and more relaxed knowing he was doing just fine. Thank you Billy and Page ! Mazylis absolutely loved staying with you ??? See you again soon”
“We were so worried leaving our 3month old puppy, but Guy and his family were so welcoming when we met them, and have a lovely home. We were given so much reassurance from as soon as we booked with Guy that Maverick would be fine. Guy gave us daily updates on Maverick and it looked like he had the best time too. We will definitely be using Guy again and would 100% recommend him and his family.”
“Ross was a fantastic sitter - providing pictures & taking care of my Leia like she was his own. She also loved the dog and child company at his house. It was like a little holiday for her. Will definitely book with Ross again.”
“Agnieszka and her family were fantastic with my puppy, from the first meet and greet to when my puppy stayed over at their house for 1 night and 2 days, they went above and beyond to give her the best time away. I received plenty of pictures and videos, also messages to let me know my dogs safe and happy, there was not a minute that I was concerned. The whole family gave my puppy so much attention and care, that I’ll definitely use them again. I’m glad I found this caring family.”
“Great experience with Lisa and Andy, they took really good care of my 2 dogs and gave me updates and pictures whilst I was on holiday. Will definitely use them again, highly recommend 😊”

About: I have had dogs my whole life so very experienced with all breeds. I live in an area where the dogs will get daily long countryside walks. There is somebody at home 24/7 so your dog will never be alone by themselves. I can pick up/ drop off if need be as I'm a taxi driver in London so I'm insured to carry pets. I'm available for boarding for as long as needed. The whole family are experienced with dogs. My 20 year old daughter is a dog groomer. I work from 3am to 10am and then I home all day. My wife is at home 24/7 so they will never be left alone. We will treat your loved one as if it's our own so any requirements that you have will be ok. We often look after friends dogs and they are so happy that we decided to do it full time. I have a large fenced garden. The only way in and out of the garden is through the house so it's extremely secure. Your pet will have the run of the house unless you request that they do not go upstairs.
“Michelle and family were brilliant with Bella. All the family love dogs clearly Bella got on very well with their dogs who are very nice Michelle took them all to the local dog park ( ross and friends ) and bella had a ball Have booked them again for other stays and highly recomend them”
“Booked with Francesca last minute and she was very catering and accepting that it was a last minute booking. The communication was 100% and I couldn’t fault her. Upon dropping my dog Crystal she allowed the introduction of her 2 dogs and I left feeling very assure and happy that my dog was in safe hands. The whole time she was there I was receiving updates and photos. Would definitely recommend and would rebook in the future”
“Nellie is an Excellent Dog Sitter, Very Friendly, Helpful & was updated on how my dog was doing. Buddy was really happy when I picked him up & I would use this sitter again without hesitation. Thank you again.”
About: I’ve had a wide variety of experience with different pets from a very young age. I have owned and taken care of reptiles, rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, dogs, cats etc. In the past few years I have become more relied on to dog sit, walk and do check ins for family and friends but have recently expanded out to dog walking and sitting for a owner local to my area each week. I currently have 3 dogs of my own. A jack russel, Chihuahua and a Labrador. My labrador is only 1 so the past year has been very focused on trying to train her. Please note I do not house my pets in my own property, they live with my parents. I currently work full time as an estate agent, on a 2 week flip rotation. I have 1 in every 2 Tuesdays off in place of working shorter hours on a Saturday. Weekdays I work 9-6 Saturdays I work 9-4:30. I can be flexible with pet sits around this☺️ I care for other people’s dogs in their homes fairly frequently. I have done many short stay sits and also longer ones as up to 14 days. I have always been able to accommodate whatever you and your pet needs from me while they’re in my care.
“Camillo loved his stayed at Jake, I had peace of mind that he was well look after and loved. Good communication Jake send us photos and a video to share how Camillo was. I will definitely trust them to look after him for when we need it next. Highly appreciated and fully recommend them. Thank you so much x”
“Ashleigh and Cal were amazing. Definitely reccomend. Terry was super relaxed and happy to be with them, being spoilt and treated as if he was one of their own! Lots of updates throughout, Terry came back happy which is the best result.”
