“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.”
“Steven has looked after Poppy for 4 days, we had regular updates and was exercised very well. He is an outdoor person and Poppy had a great time with lots of outdoor time. Poppy was the only dog so got lots of attention and fuss. Steven looked after Poppy as if she was his. Very trusting and will use Steven again in the future. Would highly recommend Steven's care.”
“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.”
“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”
“This was Toby’s second stay with Alistair. Having had a previous 2 week stay, we knew that he would be well looked after. Toby settled into Alistair’s home and routine quickly and clearly felt at home. We had regular updates of all the walks, play and sofa cuddles that he had during his stay. We know that Toby will have all the benefits of a home away from home and would recommend.”
“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.”
“Thank you so much to Billy & Paige for looking after our little dog Poppy. Poppy is 13 and it is the first time we have ever left her with anyone other than family. We had a family wedding abroad so needed to book Poppy into a loving home to look after her whilst we were all away. We were very apprehensive about it but Paige & Billy certainly put our minds at rest. We had an introduction meeting beforehand which certainly put our minds at rest. Poppy loved her stay and we had regular updates & photos. Would 100% recommend Billy & Paige to anyone looking for a loving home for their pets. We would definitely use their services again. Thank you from all of us and Poppy ❤️”
“Amazing sitter. Matthew was absolutely brilliant with our five year old English bulldog. He was very approachable with great communication from the beginning. I was nervous about leaving our dog during the festive season as this was our first Christmas apart but the updates he sent showed how well he was treating Cam taking him to spend the day with his family all very inclusive he even got him a wrapped gift which I thought was wonderful and very thoughtful! Cam looked relaxed and happy in all the pictures and videos we got. I will absolutely use Matthew again and highly recommend him as a pet sitter. Thank you again for looking so well after Cam!”
“Sarah took really good care of Joey, he was really happy when i saw him and full of energy, he’s also been a lot calmer since he’s come back and can’t thank her enough for looking after him as I know he can be a handful”
“Thank you Laura and Matt and Betty for being so welcoming and accommodating for our doggy Ruby! She had a great time and was well looked after and we will definitely be booking again. Laura gave me regular updates and stayed in contact and I knew Ruby was safe and cared for! Thank you so much 😊”
“Stephen was the perfect sitter for Hugo; lots of love and attention, a good sized garden and access to a sofa… and a lap even though Hugo is too big! Stephen clearly loves dogs and adjusts to their needs. He gets a big tick from us!”
“Thank you so much for looking after Coco, I know she was a bit reactive towards other doggies this time but hopefully she will be ok and be a good girl if you have her again. I just hope this time hasn’t put you off looking after her as she always seems to have such a lovely time with you and Jamie x”
“Kat and her partner provided excellent care for our family dog over the Easter weekend , creating a real home from home environment for him . I couldn’t recommend them enough, we also got regular updates and pics and the communication was smooth from initial booking to drop up / pick up ! 10/10 xx”
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.
“Florina and her family were GREAT dog sitters! I got loads of photos and updates and I never had to worry about my little guy, even though I was a whole ocean away. I can’t recommend Florina highly enough! She’ll definitely be my first choice the next time I have to board Harvey!”

“Michelle is an excellent cat sitter. She gave clear updates every day with photos, letting us know how our cats were doing. Under her care they were happy, healthy, and well-entertained. She played with them and made them feel comfortable. We will definitely ask Michelle for help again in the future.”
“Sarah has been brilliant with Panda who is a rescue cat and still not fully at ease with people, and yet I could see from the photos and videos how well she took to Sarah who did all her favourite things for her (food, brushing, chasing string). Sarah’s communication is great and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her and book her again myself.”
“She was wonderful, and she kindly kept us updated daily with photos of Freya. Freya is a rather shy cat, and it's difficult for her to connect with people, amazingly they bonded quickly and we are overjoyed.”
“Jemma was fantastic!!! Our cat is quite fussy with who he likes but he connected with Jemma on her initial visit which was great!! Was really good at keeping us updated with pics and messages. Our cat clearly enjoyed her company, thank you for being amazing! If you need someone to look after your pet, make sure its Jemma!”
“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! ”
“What a find… We didn’t know Yasmin prior to connecting with her here on CIAF, but we’re delighted to have found her. Her professional support was terrific and her daily updates and pics of a contented cat were reassuring. We returned to an immaculate house and a content, happy cat! Thanks millions Yasmin!”
“Gwyn did an amazing job. She kept me up to date with pictures and info so I knew my cats were in good hands. And esspecially as she was popping in over Christmas, definately above and beyond”
“Sara was super communicative - I especially loved getting little video snippets of the cats! Thank you so much for interacting with them lots, and taking care of the litter trays and recycling - Sara goes above and beyond. I know my kitties are in excellent hands and I don't need to worry! ”
“Dawn was everything we wanted - patient, attentive and most importantly, genuinely enjoyed spending time with our cat who was not used to us being away. We felt comfortable having Dawn look after casper and it made us worry less whilst away. Cheers Dawn! ”
“Georgina is amazing; this is my second booking with her; she took care of my three cats (one older and two kittens); all three were very well taken care of and I knew how they were daily as she was sending me daily pictures; great communication throughout the whole time while I was away.”
“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.”
“Oliver is absolutely amazing! Looked after my cat Poppy for 2 weeks, in house cat sitting. Kept me up to date with Poppys goings on everyday which was exactly what I needed. She’s happy and chilled and i will be using Oliver again, for sure! Poppy trusts him completely which is a godsend. Thank you Oliver!!”
“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.”
About: I have always loved cats, seeing them almost everyday on the way to school and work I would spend a lot of time with them…where I’d become late😂. But I fell so in love with them that on my 13th birthday my family got me a kitten of my own and he is my best friend. I know the tendencies of cats and the difference in body language, so I will be the purrrfect acquaintance to keep them company!
“Ameera looked after my Matsy for the best part of two weeks and I'm so glad I entrusted her. Making two visits each day, she provided meticulous updates, sending me a number of photos and videos for each visit and completely putting my mind at rest. I'd 100% recommend her to any cat owner and will definitely be booking her again in the future! :)”

“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!”

“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. 😍”
“Matthew was quick to respond and able to look after Casper at short notice. He took excellent care of him for the day and made sure all his needs were met. Matthew was calm and confident and gave us all the reassurance we needed to make sure Casper was comfortable. We’d definitely book with him again!”
“Mali absolutely loves her visits to Karolina and Jamie! The moment we pull up, she’s eager to hop out of the car, tail wagging with excitement as soon as the doorbell rings. We’re always delighted to receive updates about her adventures and playful moments with their adorable puppy, Skye. It’s clear these two are well on their way to becoming the best of friends!”
“Agnieszka was so lovely with Ob and took good care of him. Obi is a nervous dog and needs lots of reassurance. Obi had another dog to play with too which was nice. I will definitely leave Obi with Agnieszka again in future.”
“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.”

“Perfect! Hugo was relaxed with Nicole and Mark straight away. Such a lovely calm home environment too. They have taken the time to make sure they understand your dog, knowing they are all very different. I felt very happy that Hugo was being cared for by Nicole and Mark, I know he will be in safe hands with them. Thank you ❤️”
“It warmed my heart to see Deyka happy playing well with Jackson, and vice versa. Reminds me that I've done a good job with him. And, it showed me how loved Jackson has been by Simon and Joanna. I had complete piece of mind throughout, and you can't put a price on that. Have already booked again, for more fun playful photo ops! 😋 Thanks, guys.”
About: I'm Michelle - The heart behind wag along. Dogs have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with family dogs and learned from an early age just how much love, loyalty and joy they bring into our lives. That lifelong connection is what inspired me to create Wag Along - a dog care service built on trust, kindness and genuine passion. I share my home with my two dogs Belle and Wilson, both of whom are rescues. They have completely stolen my heart and remind me every day how important patience, understanding and routine are for a dog's wellbeing. I am qualified in dog first aid, certified by Hertfordshire Dog First Aid. Pet care is carefully built around my routine. I currently work part-time, which allows me to dedicate plenty of quality time to the dogs in my care. When I’m not at home, my husband is here to ensure they’re never left alone for long and always have supervision, comfort and company. Our day includes structured walks, feeding times, play, enrichment and lots of affection, all within a calm, home-from-home environment. We keep numbers limited so every dog receives the attention and care they deserve. We have a fully secure, fenced garden where dogs can safely play and explore. At home, we have two friendly resident dogs who provide company and companionship, helping visiting dogs feel settled and part of the family. All introductions are done carefully to ensure everyone feels comfortable and safe.
“Kindly took our last minute booking. Bean had the best time with Helen and Winston (her beautiful dog) for a whole day with a few photo and video updates throughout. Would recommend and book again!”

About: Myself and my partner Tomek work in theatre and during time off we love to work with dogs. We have recently moved to the Leighton Buzzard area and I’m taking some time off theatre so I’m very free and flexible. If you chose me to look after your dog it’ll be getting all of my attention throughout our time together! During the height of the pandemic I trained and worked in a small dog grooming salon and Tomek took on dog walking duties, later working as a daycare supervisor at Bruce’s Doggy Day Care. Before joining Rover we have been offering dog sitting/waking services to many people in the village where I grew up. Through this we have gained experience in looking after dogs of all shapes and sizes, from a little old yorkie terrier to 3 young french spaniels. I have also grown up always having cats so have a lot of experience furry felines too. I am freelance and currently have a quiet period before my next theatre project so I am very flexible and can cater to your needs. If you choose me to look after your dog, it’ll get 100% of my attention. I have qualified as a dog trainer from the National Dog Training Acadamy which has given me a great understanding of how to work with dogs. Coupled with my year as a dog groomer's assistant I have a well rounded skillset that will enable me to provide your pet with the best care.

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.
“Our dog Baxter loves spending time with Jemma, she’s been so friendly and communicative with us and sends lots pictures and videos when she’s with him, we can see how he is very comfortable and happy in her company.”
“Emma is such a nice person and generally loves dogs - she’s very professional, punctual and keeps you updated throughout. I’m so pleased I have found her to walk my pup, I would recommend her 100 times over. Thank you Emma x”
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
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.
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.

About: 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: 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 😊”
“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: Ever since I can remember I have grown up with various pets such as cats, dogs and small animals. Slowly throughout the years my love for animals has grown into my career. I have a Level Three BTEC in Animal Behaviour and Management. I’ve also been credited for doing a uni foundation degree in Canine Behaviour and Training. I have been working full time/ part time at a kennels for just over 5 years now, which include various amounts of breed from as big as a GSD to as little as a Chihuahua! I absolutely love my job and caring for all the doggies. It is such a passion of mine and whilst caring for your pets you will see how much I care and take notice of little details! As it is a kennel I deal with medication and happily will provide that for your pets if necessary. Whilst working at a kennels I am able to work alongside caring for your pets as it gives me flexibility due to being on a causal hour contract!! My number one priority will always be your pet whilst they’re in my care therefore I will notice the little details in what they like what they don’t like and also just to give them some extra love whilst their parents are away. ( even sneak them a extra toy or treat as I love spoiling pooches and moggies!!!) 🤍
“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 ☺️”

“Ameera did an amazing job walking our Maltese Terrier at short notice. She arrived on time and gave him a long walk taking pictures and notes along the way. She comes highly recommended and I look forward to using her again sometime 👌🏾❤️”
About: 💛 Pet Care Experience 🐾 Hi, I’m Nicole — a loving pet sitter and proud mom to a five-year-old. Animals have always been a big part of my life. I’ve cared for a wide range of pets, including Shiba Inus, Chihuahuas, British Shorthair cats, stray cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, chinchillas, and even fish. From newborn animals who need gentle, round-the-clock care to senior pets who require patience and extra attention, I always adapt to each pet’s unique personality and needs. 🐶 Professional Experience & Training I hold a Certificate in Dog Behaviour and Training, which allows me to understand canine body language and respond in a calm, positive, and reassuring way. Whether your dog is shy, energetic, reactive, or simply needs companionship, I focus on making them feel safe, relaxed, and understood. 💊 Special Care Skills I am also experienced in administering oral medication (tablets and liquid), always prioritising your pet’s comfort and reducing stress during the process. 👩👧 Personal Touch As a mother, I’ve developed strong patience, empathy, and responsibility — qualities that naturally extend into how I care for animals. I truly believe every pet deserves kindness, respect, and a calm, loving environment where they feel secure. As a mother, I spend most of my time at home, so I have the flexibility to care for pets and give them plenty of attention throughout the day. With years of experience caring for Shiba Inus, Chihuahuas, British Shorthair cats, stray cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, chinchillas, and fish, I provide compassionate, tailored pet care in my home or the pet owner’s home, depending on the service offered. My Certificate in Dog Behavior and Training enhances my ability to understand canine body language, ensuring calm and positive interactions, while my experience with diverse animals allows me to adapt to each pet’s unique needs, from playful newborns to senior pets requiring extra patience. In-Home Pet Sitting: In the owner’s home, I follow their specific instructions for feeding, watering, and administering oral medications (pills or liquids) gently to minimize stress. I provide exercise, such as walks for dogs or interactive play for cats, tailored to their energy levels and preferences. For example, I might engage a Shiba Inu with a brisk walk or play feather games with a British Shorthair. I monitor health and behavior closely, offering reassurance to shy or anxious pets and maintaining a clean environment by tidying litter boxes or feeding areas. Dog Walking or Daily Visits: For dog walking, I customize routes and durations to suit each dog’s needs, from energetic Chihuahuas to senior pups, always carrying water and owner-approved treats. During daily visits, I provide feeding, play, or litter box cleaning, ensuring consistency. I send photo updates to keep owners informed. My gentle approach to medication administration and understanding of pet behavior ensure every animal feels loved and secure. I communicate regularly with owners to provide peace of mind, adapting my care to each pet’s personality and needs, whether furry, feathery, or finned.

“This was Toby’s second stay with Alistair. Having had a previous 2 week stay, we knew that he would be well looked after. Toby settled into Alistair’s home and routine quickly and clearly felt at home. We had regular updates of all the walks, play and sofa cuddles that he had during his stay. We know that Toby will have all the benefits of a home away from home and would recommend.”
“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.”
“Thank you so much to Billy & Paige for looking after our little dog Poppy. Poppy is 13 and it is the first time we have ever left her with anyone other than family. We had a family wedding abroad so needed to book Poppy into a loving home to look after her whilst we were all away. We were very apprehensive about it but Paige & Billy certainly put our minds at rest. We had an introduction meeting beforehand which certainly put our minds at rest. Poppy loved her stay and we had regular updates & photos. Would 100% recommend Billy & Paige to anyone looking for a loving home for their pets. We would definitely use their services again. Thank you from all of us and Poppy ❤️”
“Amazing sitter. Matthew was absolutely brilliant with our five year old English bulldog. He was very approachable with great communication from the beginning. I was nervous about leaving our dog during the festive season as this was our first Christmas apart but the updates he sent showed how well he was treating Cam taking him to spend the day with his family all very inclusive he even got him a wrapped gift which I thought was wonderful and very thoughtful! Cam looked relaxed and happy in all the pictures and videos we got. I will absolutely use Matthew again and highly recommend him as a pet sitter. Thank you again for looking so well after Cam!”
“Stephen was the perfect sitter for Hugo; lots of love and attention, a good sized garden and access to a sofa… and a lap even though Hugo is too big! Stephen clearly loves dogs and adjusts to their needs. He gets a big tick from us!”
“Thank you so much for looking after Coco, I know she was a bit reactive towards other doggies this time but hopefully she will be ok and be a good girl if you have her again. I just hope this time hasn’t put you off looking after her as she always seems to have such a lovely time with you and Jamie x”
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.
“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”
“I would like to thank Agnieszka and her lovely family for taking so much care of Luna. Wow. We were a bit worried to leave her but Agnieszka made sure she meet all Lunas needs. She kept us updates on a daily basis and her lovely family and her treated Luna as their own. She had so much fun and so much human interaction that I think she had a better holiday than we did. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts and 100% we would use Agnieszka services again and again. 5 stars its not enough, you guys deserve more . Thank you once again! 🙏🙏🙏🙏”
“Arlo loved his stay and felt right at home straight away. We received regular updates and pictures from Jonny and Robyn, and they took him on some lovely walks. Would definitely recommend!”
“Thank you Diksha for taking care of Benji so well. He thoroughly enjoyed the company of little April. We loved your place and fields around your house is definitely great advantage for these furries.”
“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 😊”
“We can’t recommend Rose and Tomak highly enough! They looked after our dogs, Reg and Flo, while we were away on holiday, and they were absolutely fantastic. From the moment we dropped them off, we knew they were in safe and caring hands. Rose and Tomak kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us complete peace of mind and allowed us to relax and enjoy our holiday. Reg and Flo were so well cared for, loved, and treated like part of the family. They came home happy, healthy, and clearly had a wonderful time. It’s such a relief to know we’ve found people we can completely trust with our dogs. Thank you both so much for taking such amazing care of Reg and Flo. We wouldn’t hesitate to use you again and would recommend you to anyone looking for reliable, caring dog sitters!”
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.
“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.”
“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.”
About: I grew up around dogs and then joined the military to be a dog handler. I was a dog handler for 8 and a half year and now live with my retired military working dog.

I live with my dog Ciro, we like to get out on lots of walks.
