“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.”
“Tabatha and her family really made us feel like George was one of their own! With the daily updates, assured love and affection, we didn’t have to worry at all! George is already excited for his number stay with them in a few weeks time! Thank you so much 💙🐾🐶”
About: I have loved and taken care of animals since my first cat when I was three years old. I recently moved out of my family home where I lived and cared for 3 rescue cats. Now living in my own home, I thought that this would be the perfect opportunity to look after animals, without having to commit to my own (I hope to rescue an animal soon though!) I have dog sat for family, friends and neighbours on many occasions, including week long stays whilst they are away. I have worked and lived at an ethical (no touching!) elephant sanctuary in Thailand where I spent my days caring for rescued elephants and other animals. Evidence of my love for animals is my lifelong vegetarianism and 5 years of veganism I work from home Thursday and Friday so I am available to look after your pets on these days, as well as weekends. My work is flexible so I can support your animal however they need, early mornings, late nights, multiple walks throughout the day, I’m easy! I’m available for boarding I have a fenced garden and I live near to many green spaces and woodlands which your pet will love to explore. I am loving and always available for a cuddle should your animal like cuddles!
“Sarah and her family were honestly amazing with Millie 🥹 She updated me constantly, took her on so many walks and little adventures, and Millie genuinely looked like she was having her own mini holiday the whole time. You can tell Sarah genuinely loves dogs and I trusted her completely from the start. Honestly didn’t even feel like a service, felt like leaving Millie with a friend. Would 1000% recommend and I already know who I’ll be asking whenever I need someone to look after her again 🤍”
“Matthew was great, he sent daily updates and you can tell he just genuinely cares for dogs. Finn was so happy when I picked him up - will definitely be booking 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.”
“Second stay with Paige and Billy, our dog Daisy loved being in a caring and loving home, we received daily regular updates and photos where visible that she was happy, I highly recommend and already booked 3rd stay!”

“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 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.
“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.”
“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.”
“Great communication, and followed all instructions regarding medication. A friendly face, and a comfortable tidy home. I can't wait for Yuuki to spend more time with Stephen!”

“Gemma was amazing looking after our fur babies, they were well looked after and played with and we had daily updates and pictures , so we were reassured they were ok. Thanks Gemma”
“Charlotte was a great cat sitter. She helped me out at very short notice and even worked around her holidays. She let me know how may cat was getting on and I came home to a very happy cat. ”
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!
“Great sitter. Reliable and carrying. Looked after my cat really well. Sent me daily updates of my kitty which I really appreciated. I can really recommend Alex:) ”
“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.”
“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.”
“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! ”
About: I’ve taken care of cats for most of my life, having my own from the age of 6, and grew up around a variety of pets, including rescue animals. I often care for pets of my friends and family - cats, dogs, hamsters, rabbits, goldfish, you name it! I’m a huge animal lover and treat them all like they’re my own (even random cats on the street…)
“Oliver has been absolutely incredible while looking after our 2 cats over the holidays. He sent us detailed feedback every day and they seemed so happy around him 🥹❤️ This was our first time leaving our babies with a sitter we didn’t know, and he really made us feel super comfortable. Would highly recommend him to look after your fur babies!”
“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.”
“Verity did a fab job looking after our cat Pumpkin 🐾 We felt completely safe and at ease leaving our boy in her care. She was reliable, attentive, and clearly genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. Thank you so much, Verity, we wouldn’t hesitate to book with you again!”
“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!!! ❤️”
“I felt very relaxed with Jaime. Bowl area and cat litter trays clean. It was my first time leaving Sharon so I was a little worried but no need as all cats were well. Would recommend and use again”
“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 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.
“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! ”
About: Raised on a family farm in rural Ireland, animals of all shapes and sizes have come into my life. Cats have always been a staple companion and they have been present for as long as I can remember. I became a cat owner myself in 2014, adopting two rescues with my partner, doing so only after we had secured our own home. Both have since passed away (Jackson and Pepper) and now Blue is the king of the jungle. Cats are their own people. They judge fairly and will come to you and sit upon your lap should they deem you worthy of their attentions.
“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”
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.

“I really didn’t want to leave my little puppy as she’s only 4 months but circumstances forced me to take the plunge. I felt very anxious about the whole situation. Sara invited me (and my puppy) to a ‘Meet and Greet’ session. It was very relaxed. We met her resident dog and others she had in her care. They all seemed relaxed and happy. I felt happier now I’d met with Sara and checked out the environment in which I’d be leaving my young dog. Well, if Martha (my puppy) could talk I know she’d be saying what a fab time she’d had. She loved being with the other dogs. Sara took them all on a couple of adventures during the day. When I picked her up she looked really tired and is now snoring the rest of the afternoon away. Sara said ‘she’d been really good’. Mmm, I wonder - my little pup can be a pickle at times!!! 😊 I was sent updates, pictures and videos of the day. I highly recommend Sara! Thank you Sara very much. 😊”
“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!”
“Otis had such a fun day with Tabitha! It was our first time leaving him and Tabitha took him for a nice long walk and he had loads of fun playing with her kids. I'm sure he is excited to go back again soon!”
“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!”

“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 ❤️”

“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!”
“I contacted Aimee as I needed my puppy( Remi) looked after whilst I was at work. She got back to me promptly, we then went to her house where my puppy absolutely loved her and her husband. I then booked Remi in for day care. They sent through photos and videos and updates through out the day. Their caring nature and love for dogs made me feel really at ease. Remi absolutely loved her stay and fell asleep as soon as she got in. I will absolutely be using Aimee again to care for Remi.”
“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.”
“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!”
“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!”
“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”
“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 😊”
“This was our first time with Lai Yan. Kasper really enjoyed his day. Such a clean, comfortable home. Very considerate about Kasper’s needs, caring and gentle and provided a lot of updates and pictures to reassure us. They are very friendly and patient. Highly recommend and will definitely come back.”
About: I have been a passionate animal lover and caretaker for over 5 years. Friends, family, and neighbors regularly rely on me to drop in, feed, walk, and play with their pets while they are away. I treat every animal as if they were my own, ensuring they get plenty of affection, exercise, and attention. Whether your dog loves long energetic walks or prefers cozy cuddles on the couch, I'm happy to accommodate their unique personality and routine! As a self-employed business owner, I have a highly flexible schedule that allows me to easily fit pet care into my daily routine. I can dedicate plenty of time to playing, feeding, and walking your dogs. My routine gives me the freedom to offer reliable checking-in services, ensuring your pet is never left waiting and receives undivided attention exactly when they need it. Safety and peace of mind are my absolute top priorities. I live in a pet-friendly household with a fully secure, enclosed garden where dogs can safely stretch their legs and play. Whether I am looking after your pet in my home or yours, I maintain a clean, calm, and hazard-free environment. I am incredibly attentive to a dog's body language to ensure they always feel secure and happy.
“I didn't actually meet Nicole myself as our dog Juno was staying with friends while we were on holiday and needed cover for 1 day during this period. However, my friends said that Nicole was very lovely with a beautiful home. All the interactions I had with Nicole were great, she was really thorough by asking about Juno in advance, and there was a lovely photo on the report card in which Juno looked very happy. She also very kindly walked Juno early in the day to avoid the heat which was very thoughtful and appreciated. I would thoroughly recommend Nicole!”

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.
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.
“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”
“Jemma was so great! I had a last minute work situation come up and was in a bit of a squeeze. We were very hesitant to leave Pablo with someone we’d never met before but Jemma put us at ease so quickly and Pablo was a big fan! The regular updates and photos were lovely to see whilst away; and we will definitely be rebooking with Jemma in the future. Thank you!”
“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.”
“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: 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! 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.
About: Having rescued lots of dogs, guinea pigs, rabbits and also a tortoise over the years I have a great love for all our furry friends. Experienced dog handler, cat sitter and happy to administer meds. DBS checked, full liabilty and pet first aid certificate. Happy to help with all the familys furry, feathered and scaly friends while I'm at the home too. The original Dr Doolittle is here! I just adore all animals, my dream is to open a rescue abroad and care for all the waifs and strays. Currently work Part time for the NHS and spend my afternoons and evenings caring for my animals and other peoples. Am available at weekends also and bank hols. I will even water the plants, put the bins out, open and close curtains. Safety is everything to me and keeping the pets happy and content.
“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 :)”
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 a caring, reliable, and responsible pet lover with experience looking after dogs, cats, and other small pets. I understand that pets are family members, and I always treat them with the same love, patience, and attention that I would give my own animals. I have experience with feeding, walking, playing, administering basic medications when needed, and ensuring pets feel comfortable and safe while their owners are away. I am attentive to each pet’s individual needs, personality, and routine, helping them stay happy and relaxed in their familiar environment. Whether your pet needs regular walks, drop-in visits, overnight care, or companionship during the day, I am committed to providing dependable care and keeping you updated with messages and photos for complete peace of mind. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I work from home, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day. I can easily fit walks, feeding, playtime, and regular toilet breaks into my routine while maintaining your pet’s normal schedule. Your pet will receive loving, reliable care and won’t be left alone for long periods. Whether caring for pets in my home or in a pet owner’s home, I always follow their usual routine to help them feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed. This includes feeding, walks, playtime, fresh water, and plenty of attention and affection. At my home, pets will have access to a secure fenced garden for supervised outdoor time. I also have two children, aged 8 and 9, who love animals and understand the importance of respecting a pet’s boundaries and giving them their own space when needed. When caring for pets in their own home, I ensure their routine is maintained as closely as possible, providing consistent care and regular updates to owners for peace of mind.
About: Final-year student veterinary nurse working in a busy hospital, with hands-on experience caring for animals of all ages and needs. Alongside my veterinary work, I train and compete in dog agility, working with my own dog and helping train others too. As a pet owner myself with one dog and three cats, I know how important it is to find someone trustworthy, caring, and experienced. I’m confident administering medication, caring for senior pets, and providing plenty of love, attention, and enrichment while you’re away. Your pets will be treated like part of the family! Being a student vet nurse pet care is my job and I love every minute of it! When I’m not caring at work I’m looking after my own or my agility clients! I will adhere to any rules I am given when trusted with an owners pets as this is the most important thing for me! With my training and pet care history this is key
About: I am easygoing, but not at all a pushover. I like to think I have a firm but gentle touch, and have a good degree of empathy. Having worked with animals - from horses to cats to dogs to chickens! - my experiences of their psychology have stood me in good stead when making new four- (and two!) legged acquaintances. I've always thought dogs to be some of the best judges of character and human nature, and honestly, you just can't hide your own true self from their animal instincts. They see, they know and they will make up their own mind about you whether you like it or not! As for cats, well, they are an enigma wrapped in a mystery drowning in a tub of Dreamies. Would we change them? Never! So all I can say is, if I meet your dog/cat/chicken and they give their paw/claw of approval, what better endorsement is there? Dog walking, cat sitting and general animal care if my full time business, and I make myself available most weekends. I have no problem with short notice bookings and take extra care to always heed to concerns and needs of my clients. I don’t board dogs or cats at my own residence as this would be too stressful for my own cat boss, but am happy to housesit if available to do so. This has always proved to be a more agreeable arrangement as there is no place like home for a dog or cat who are as much a member of the family as any other relative!
“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: 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: From growing up with dogs, cats, guinepigs, hamsters and far too many fish to studying animals as part of my undergraduate and master degrees, I would love to take care of your little fur babies and make sure they don’t miss you too much whilst you’re away! Maybe they could join me and my dog on some of our adventures… DBS checked ✅ I have weekday evenings from 4pm available along with weekends all day! However my partner is also able to work from home a couple of days a week if needed. We have our own dog (a 2 year old female cockapoo) who also needs lots of attention, enrichment and walkies! 🐕🦺 I have a grass, fenced off back garden which your pet is welcome to use along with our my dog to keep them company! I also have several local walks which I would love to take your pooch to, ranging from large open fields, woodland trials and paved walks. 🌳

“Sarah and her family were honestly amazing with Millie 🥹 She updated me constantly, took her on so many walks and little adventures, and Millie genuinely looked like she was having her own mini holiday the whole time. You can tell Sarah genuinely loves dogs and I trusted her completely from the start. Honestly didn’t even feel like a service, felt like leaving Millie with a friend. Would 1000% recommend and I already know who I’ll be asking whenever I need someone to look after her 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.”

“Isabelle's home is spacious and open planned with garden access. Luna was free to move around and explore which helped her to settle; Isabelle has a calming nature and we felt ok leaving. Luna is a strong and determined young lady and not fully trained with street walking, so were so pleased that they managed to be out and about as she pulls a lot. I was pleased to receive timely replies to all our check in messages, especially as Luna had been fussy with her food leading up to her stay away. I would recommend Isabelle because she survived Luna! Thank you”
“Lisa was absolutely fantastic with our dog, Rocky. From the moment we met her, it was clear she genuinely cared and took the time to get to know him and understand his personality and routine. Throughout our holiday, she sent regular updates, photos and messages, which gave us so much reassurance and meant we could completely relax knowing Rocky was happy and in such safe hands. He was incredibly well looked after, and it was obvious he received plenty of love and attention from Lisa and her family while we were away. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Lisa to anyone looking for a caring, reliable and trustworthy dog sitter. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Rocky!”
About: After ten years working with animals, I miss looking after animals. I’m experienced, and will treat your beloved pet like family. With loads of cuddles. Love long walks , being in the outdoors and enjoy a life with a dog in it. Weekends and school holidays available to pet sit. I have plenty of experience looking after animals of all types, long walks easily provided and space to outside green, and a safe loving home.
“Sidney, had a second stay with Agnieszka and her lovely family. He had a lovely time , so lovely I was not sure he would want to come home. I would not want to leave him with anyone else.”
About: I have had my dog for 6 years and love to take care of her, although it sums to be difficult during moments, it is a joy and not so hard most times. Family members have regarded me to be amazing to take care of their pets as I can provide anything they need. I am able to provide medication necessary at the right times( if given medication) and can take your pet on walks and such! I am currently in school so I am able to take care of your pet on any weeks and weekends that are needed. Your pet will be looked after 24/7. Although I don’t have a fenced yard, my neighbourhood is very safe and it is very unlikely that your pet will be disturbed in the outside, My home is a safe environment where your pet can be in comfort at all times!
About: I have hands on experience with strong, intelligent breeds. My current dog, Rollo, is a three year old Doberman whom I raised and trained myself, and he’s a well-balanced, confident dog. Before him, I owned a German Shepherd, Rottweiler and a Staffordshire Bull Terrier, so I’m very familiar with managing powerful dogs with different temperaments and energy levels.I’m fully insured for pet care, so owners can have added peace of mind while their dogs are with me. I’ve spent years around working and guardian breeds, and I’m confident handling dogs that need structure, calm guidance, and clear direction. This practical experience means visiting dogs benefit from calm, capable handling and a safe, steady environment where they can properly relax. I don’t offer passive boarding where dogs are simply “looked after” and taken out for short walks. Dogs staying with me follow a proper daily routine that closely reflects what they’re used to at home. My own dog is walked for well over an hour and a half each day, and visiting dogs are included in the same level of exercise and structured activity, provided it suits their age, health, and energy levels. This isn’t about quick toilet breaks , it’s about meaningful walks, engagement, and mental stimulation. Alongside walks, I spend time playing structured games and doing light training exercises that keep dogs thinking and settled. The focus isn’t just kisses and cuddles, but helping dogs feel balanced, confident, and genuinely enjoy their stay, almost like a holiday of their own while you’re away. When I walk dogs, I focus on structured, purposeful outings. Whether a dog is food motivated, play driven, or prefers a steady walk, I tailor the routine to suit their needs and the owner’s preferences. My priority is always safe handling, consistency, and a calm experience that helps every dog feel secure. I work from home, so I’m here throughout the day. This makes it easy to keep dogs on a steady routine with regular walks, toilet breaks, exercise and calm downtime. Dogs settling with me aren’t left alone, and I can adjust the day to suit their needs. Dogs in my care stay in a calm, structured home environment. Because I work from home, I’m able to supervise them throughout the day, keep routines consistent, and make sure they’re never left for long periods. I handle dogs with clear, confident direction, and I introduce them to the house and to my own dog at the right pace for their temperament. Our home has a secure garden for controlled outdoor time, and visiting dogs can be kept separate if needed. I follow each owner’s instructions closely and keep communication open so you always know how your dog is doing. If it helps you feel more at ease, you’re welcome to video call for a quick check-in while you’re away. As someone who has had to leave my own dog before, I understand how important peace of mind is, and I make sure every dog feels safe, settled and respected.
“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!”
“Very impressed after leaving my somewhat energetic Labrador with Sarah for the weekend, with it being the first time I have left her with anyone I was a little worried, but Sarah-Elisabeth clearly knows what she is doing. Very professional, organised and really knows dogs. Received regular updates and photos each day for peace of mind too. Highly recommend”
