“Kobe had such a wonderful stay with Mat and his family. Prior to boarding we arranged a pre-stay meeting which was great and really helpful, from that initial meeting I knew Kobe would be very well looked after. Throughout his stay Mat kept us updated with Kobe's progress and sent lots of pictures which was so lovely. Would definitely recommend and will definitely be using Mat again for boarding, so long as the crazy pup is welcome ??. Thank you all so much for looking after our boy.”
“Thanks to Laura again! Bear had a wonderful holiday with Laura while I could go away for work relaxed in the knowledge that his every need was taken care of. Laura very kindly keeps me updated with Bears adventures while he is with her, which are always nice to see that he is totally taken care of! Thanks again Laura”
“As soon as I met Victoria I knew she was responsible, friendly and approachable. I felt my dog was enjoying himself with Victoria’s dog and was sent photos of them playing together. I had complete faith in her being able to look after Bailey and when he returned home he was tired but happy.”
“Left our crazy spaniel with Kirsty for the first time the other day. Very happy! We were excited to be her first rover booking and we can safely say we Would definitely recommend! She went out of her way to make sure reign was comfortable and happy and got what he needed. She is a kind, bubbly, polite lady and you can tell how much she cares for the dogs. Again, would definitely reccomend and will be back again at some point, reign looks forward to it, thanks again Kirsty”
“Alex and her family looked after Sonny for three days while we were away, and we couldn't have asked for better care. We received daily updates and photos, which gave us complete peace of mind. Sonny was clearly very happy, well looked after, and treated as part of the family. He enjoyed regular walks, including lovely walks in the forest, and it was wonderful to see him having such a great time. Alex was caring, reliable, and attentive to all of Sonny's needs. We are incredibly grateful for the love and care Sonny received and would highly recommend Alex and her family to anyone looking for a safe, caring, and trustworthy home for their pet.”
“Thank you Jan for taking such excellent care of our little lady. We feel so blessed to have found someone who is professional yet so caring and somehow instantly created a home from home for Lucrezia. Perfect! We look forward to her upcoming next stay.”
“Our high spirited lab puppy Rocky was very well looked after and had a great time with Juno. Paulo and Francisco were excellent- great communication and kindly sent us photos too which were very much appreciated. Rocky is really looking forward to his next stay.”
“I can’t recommend Abby enough. Abby recommended an overnight stay before our dog Duke’s booking, which I thought was a great idea, making sure everyone was comfortable. Duke stayed with Abby for 12 days, she kept in touch and also took Duke to a run free meadow and for beach walks, making him part of their family. When we collected Duke, he seemed happy and content and Abby had gone the extra mile by cleaning all his bedding before his return. I will definitely be using Abby again and recommending her to all my friends and family.”
“Ernie had a great time with Lisa again. He’s excited in the car as soon as we get to the village. He had a nice trip to the beach and he was so comfy on the sofa when I arrived to pick him he didn’t even notice I was there lol.”
“Diane looked after our dog Rufus for the weekend in her home. We received regular updates and photos which we were very grateful for. It was a hot weekend and Diane was so considerate of this, ensuring that Rufus was only walked in the cooler mornings/evenings. Rufus returned so calm and happy we would definitely use Diane again and recommend her to others. Thanks Diane!”
“This was Jaspers 2nd stay with Dominic. He was made to feel welcome as soon as he arrived. Him & Thunder seem at ease in each others company which is lovely to see. Dominic sent regular photos of his stay. I feel comfortable leaving him, knowing he is being well cared for. I think he missed Thunder when we got home! Thank you 🙂”
“I have a relaxed tired dog, who settled well. The communication was amazing to help reassure me that she was happy! Highly recommend and will book again. Thank you both and deezy!”
“We left our shepsky Koda in the care of Sylvia and her family while my family and I were on holiday for two weeks. I could see that Koda had a fantastic time through the pictures I was regularly sent. I received frequent updates and came home to a wagging tail. Thank you Sylvia.”
About: I have extensive experience caring for a wide variety of pets, ranging from small mammals and companion animals. I have cared for tortoises, goldfish, guinea pigs, rabbits, hamsters, cats, and dogs of all ages and temperaments. My experience includes supporting a senior dog recovering from a stroke, ensuring their comfort, safety, and rehabilitation while maintaining their daily routine and health needs. I have also successfully bred and raised dogs, overseeing a mother through three litters of puppies and providing comprehensive care for all puppies until they were eight weeks old. This included monitoring their health, socialization, nutrition, and early training, ensuring each puppy developed strong foundations for lifelong well-being. My approach to pet care is attentive, compassionate, and tailored to each individual animal’s needs, whether it’s maintaining specialized enclosures for reptiles, ensuring proper nutrition and enrichment for small mammals, or providing exercise, stimulation, and medical support for dogs and cats. I am currently working from home, which allows me to build pet care naturally into my daily routine. Caring for pets is part of my everyday life. I provide feeding, fresh water, exercise, enrichment, grooming where needed, and regular health monitoring each day. I also ensure living areas are kept clean and that each animal receives plenty of love, attention, and positive interaction. My flexible schedule means I am able to adapt to the individual needs of each pet, whether that involves walks, playtime, administering medication if required, or simply providing companionship. Whether it's playful dogs, curious cats, or small mammals, every animal is given a safe, happy, and caring environment where their welfare is my priority. Your pets will feel right at home with me. I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where animals can relax, play, and thrive. Each pet receives individual attention, regular feeding, exercise, and enrichment tailored to their needs. Whether it’s cuddles for cats, walks for dogs, or proper habitat care for small mammals, I ensure every pet is happy, secure, and well-cared for while in my home.
“Louise took Winnie for me very last minute due to personal bereavement and she was so lovely and very responsive. They live in a beautiful farmhouse with so much land with a fully protective garden. I got sent plenty of photos and Winnie was very loved and looked after by the family. I highly recommend Louise to look after your furry loved ones and thank you again!”
“My very nervous whippet Betty and bumptious terrier Carson, had a wonderful time here. First time and well settled in on sofa and on someone ‘s lap as shown in the photos sent to me with updates on their progress. I would have no concerns in recommending this very caring family home for dog sitting”
“Such a kind and thoughtful woman. Our dog is allergic to Christmas trees, and Andrea was so accommodating, that she moved her tree away from any areas our dog had access too. We got the feeling that nothing was too much trouble for her, and we're very grateful that she could take in our dog at such short notice. We would definitely recommend Andrea and her beautiful dog.”
“Our border terrier Clover had a great time with Lillia. She sent us lots of photos showing Clover relaxed and happy. The family all listened to our explaining Clovers needs and foibles and I would definitely leave Clover with Lillia again. Highly recommended.”
“Marley was really happy staying with Jasmine and we will definitely want her to be able to look after her again when we need. We met Jasmine before Marleys stay and instantly thought she would be perfect and we were right. Jasmine is really lovely. Thank You.”

“Zoe was fabulous with our Henry! He’s a very pampered cat.. and isn’t sure of new people. But he was very settled and happy with Zoe. A chilled calm and happy little man when we returned home after a couple of days away. Zoe sent me a few photos- which is super reassuring. She took great care of our home. We would not hesitate to ask for Zoe again, or recommend her!”
“I was so pleased to have Ann visit and feed my cat whilst I was away for a couple of days. Communication was easy and I felt confident that my cat was left in good hands, which indeed she was. Thank you!”
About: I’ve been caring for cats since childhood, and my love for them has only grown over the years. I adore their unique personalities—every cat is different, and I take the time to understand their needs, whether they’re playful, shy, or independent. I have experience with feeding, litter maintenance, playtime, and giving lots of affection (if they’re in the mood for it!). Your cat’s comfort and happiness are my top priorities, and I’ll treat them like my own while you’re away 🐈💖🐈⬛
About: I’ve had cats my entire life and have trained them myself too. I’ve also looked after friend’s pets whilst they’ve been on holiday. I can look after any pets from when they are young to elderly as have lots of experience. My gran has always had cats and so I’ve grown up around them as well as my own.
“Hermione went above and beyond to ensure our cats were happy and healthy whilst we were away. She kept us updated the whole time with pictures and message updates, which was great as it was our first time leaving them with anyone but family. Would absolutely not hesitate to book again!!”
“Imogen looked after my cats for the first time recently, and I could not recommend her more highly. I have seven cats, all with very different personalities and needs. Some are extremely high-maintenance, some are incredibly friendly, others are very shy, and three of them have epilepsy and require close monitoring. It can definitely be a bit overwhelming for someone who isn’t used to a busy multi-cat household, but Imogen handled everything amazingly. From the moment she came for a meet-and-greet, it was obvious how naturally good she is with animals. Two of my cats immediately gravitated towards her, which I think says everything, as cats are usually very good judges of character! All of the cats absolutely loved her, and I felt completely reassured knowing they were in such caring and capable hands. She was calm, attentive, and clearly very experienced and comfortable around cats with different temperaments and medical needs. I’m so grateful for the care she gave my babies, and I’ll definitely be using her services again in the future. I’m very happy with the service Imogen provided and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring cat sitter.”
About: I have always had a dog throughout my life growing up and have had experience with multiple different breeds and sizes. I have looked after dogs from friends and neighbours and am a reliable person to have looking after your pet. I am currently attending college part time but am available everyday from midday and weekends I am flexible with any times to ensure the best care is given to your fur babies. In a pet owners home, I will come in for either toilet visit every few hours, sit with them during the day or stay over night. I can read how a dog is feeling very well and will always gather their behaviour information prior to the stay so I can ensure that I am causing as less stress to the dogs as possible. Occasionally I am escorted by someone else to where the house is as I am an 18 year old girl who has no self defence skills but they all have pet care experience too.
About: [IMPORTANT TO NOTE: I will be unavailable for bookings in Norwich from 25th August 2026, as I am moving back to Cheltenham. I will be available for bookings in Cheltenham from 15th September 2026]. I’ve taken care of cats since I was 16. I love cats of all breeds and natures; I’m more than used to unhooking adventurous kittens from curtain fabrics! I have experience with both kittens and senior cats, and can give oral medication when needed. I live in university accommodation so can only provide care for your cat in your home at the moment. I really miss having cats around, as I’m doing a Master’s degree, and would love to spend some time with your cat!
“Boadicea has been fantastic with our puppy Meg! She came and met with Meg and I to find out all her needs and has been so accommodating, taking her for lovely walks and updating us. We would definitely recommend Nanny Pawsome, thank you!”
About: I have take care of cats for many years, as the animals are very independent and determined i prefer to let them rome the house freely and have a constant food / water supply. I also have a cat only room as i do usually have dogs in my home. Rest assured the kittens and cats do not have to come into contact with the dogs and have a climbing, adventurous room to themselves!

“Jez was kind enough to look after my rambunctious devon rex kitten over the holidays and I could not be happier with how it went. Lots of communication and updates. I knew Cherry was in good hands!”
“Ana did a fantastic job of looking after my two kitties while I was away. She was very quick to respond to any question I had, and kept me updated with each visit which put my mind at ease! I will definitely be contacting Ana in the future for cat sitting.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, I had one, my nanny had 4, my aunty had 2 and now I have 1 cavapoo named Alfie who I have had from a puppy. I have toilet trained him, I leaned him tricks such as left paw, right paw, turn around, sit, high five and how to come when called. I have cared for dogs from young ages to older, I am extremely friendly, trust working, reliable, punctual and flexible. I can offer dog walking/sitting/drop in visits I will not let you or your pooch down! I am currently studying part time at Easton college and looking for part time work. Combining my flexibility, reliability and love for animals I thought this was a great way on earning extra cash. I am unfortunately only able to care for pets in the owners home due to living with my family. We are however looking at getting our own place soon so that will change.
About: I've grown up with dogs + fish. Now I've had 2 beautiful cats for the last 3 years. My partner, who will also help, has grown up with cats/dogs/chickens and more! Between the 2 of us we have 2 dogs and 3 cats currently. I work from home full time in the golden triangle so can easily pop out to check in on pups or kittens😺. My partner works from her salon Tuesday - Friday in fakenham so she can also provide services there if need be. We have a big car so taking big dogs out for a great walk is easy to do! My garden is fenced but only 3ft. Therefore they can use it for toilets etc with me supervising but I'd aim to take your dogs out for nice walks (if they are able to).

“We felt instantly at ease when we first met Alex to drop off our slightly nervous 1 year old cocker spaniel (Ronnie). We had regular updates throughout the evening which helped ease our worries - he fed him and took him out on a couple walks so he could do his business. He was also very accommodating to our needs as we needed to pick Ronnie up at the unsociable time of 11pm. Would definitely use Alex again if we are in the area and need help 👌”
About: I am delighted to join the Rover community as I want to share my love of and experience with dogs and help you with your lovely canine family members. I am very proud to describe myself as a mad dog lady: I have had my own dogs for over 24 years and grew up with dogs throughout my childhood. I have taken care of many dogs – from puppies to the elderly – and have experience in administering medication, should the need arise. We currently have a 6-year-old male (intact) Tibetan Terrier, Barney, having lost my beautiful Large Münsterlander nearly 4 years ago. We all miss having two dogs in the house (particularly Barney) and so I have decided to open my home to care for other dogs. We live in Ringland and have a large fully enclosed back garden and access to wonderful rural walks. My husband and I are retired but very active, and Barney gets at least two 40-minute walks a day (from the door – no need for car journeys), as well as lots of attention during the day. We would be delighted to host well-behaved, fully house trained, small to medium sized dogs (up to Red Setter, Golden Retriever, Labrador size) BUT they must get on with Barney. He is very friendly and very dog-motivated, but it will be necessary to have a meet and greet with Barney before agreeing terms. I would be happy to consider both boarding here and daycare (drop off here in Ringland). Please contact me with any enquiries. Thank you for taking the time to read this advert and I look forward to meeting your Canine family members. My husband and I are now fully retired and home with our pampered pooch much of the time, so an additional well-behaved dog would be welcome to our home. We have a large fully enclosed back garden and access from the doorstep to wonderful rural walks. I have experience in administering medication, if needed.

“This was the first time I've left my puppy with someone and Andreas really reassured me. Trixy had a fab day (she told me ?) she had lots of fun. I would not hesitate to take Trixy to Andreas again.”
“I was a bit anxious when i first left Bob (springer spaniel) with Gemma for day care as he has never been left before. However I have left him twice now and wouldn't hesitate in using her services again. I imagine having two spaniels to look after is quite exhausting (& fun!) but everything went to plan and Bob & Monty got along well. Gemma is very professional, caring and gives regular updates and photos which proved Bob had a great time and put me at ease! Thank you 😊”
About: Hi there ! Since my childhood I've had and looked after many animals all shapes and sizes. I consider myself a confident and caring individual who will look after your pet and their needs. I will try my best to be flexible, and am happy to discuss any particular requirements or preferences. I do have a friendly dog aged 2 of my own, so for any stays at my home address I would require a short meet and greet to make sure they get along first. I am currently working from home the majority of the week and do have time on weekends for bigger walks or longer drop in visits. I have a large fenced back garden for your dog to be safe and play in. Additionally to the grass is a rubber pieced section too.
About: I love dogs. They are family and must be treated as such. I have experience with many puppies up to larger dogs weighing in excess of 30kg. I’ve a sensible head, good common sense and your best friend will get the best care with me. I walk different breed of dogs daily, I adapt the walk to their pace, some older paws need to go a bit slower! I have first aid certificate for dogs and happy to give medication if required. Free most weekends, still have availability all day Wednesday, some on Monday and Friday mornings. Cat drop in morning and late afternoon are free every day. Please contact me to confirm. I will care for your pets on drop in visits as if they were my own. They will have time to play and have cuddles whilst feeding to your schedule and making sure there is fresh water. I do not have a licence to board dogs so not offering this service. Equally I cannot offer sitter services in your home due to having 3 dogs of my own.
“Pinar took such good care of our miniature dachshund bramble. She gave us lots of updates throughout, photos and videos. We felt like Pintar and her family looked after Bramble as if she was their own dog. Would definitely recommend her to anyone”
“Cormac (w) Ulfada LOVED his first full visit with Paulina. The care he received was first class. Thank you both, I feel happy and confident he will be in your care for many years to come.”
About: I’m an 18-year-old female living on a farm, with hands-on experience caring for a wide range of animals. I have two dogs of my own, including one who is quite nervous, so I understand the importance of patience, attention, and tailoring walks to suit each dog’s individual needs. I’m also confident handling larger, energetic dogs—my spaniels certainly keep me on my toes! At home, I care for an indoor cat who loves plenty of affection, so I’m equally comfortable providing gentle, attentive care for cats. I’m looking to offer dog walking and pet sitting alongside my studies, combining my passion for animals with staying active, while making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I am currently studying radiology My availability’s are: Monday 3-5pm Tuesday 9-11am Wednesday 9am-5pm Thursday 2-5pm Friday 1-3pm Saturday & Sunday all day If you do have any requests for other times feel free to get in contact and i may be able to be flexible however this is my current time frames I focus on keeping things safe, calm, and consistent for every pet. I stick to their usual routine as much as possible and take note of any specific needs, whether that’s a nervous dog who needs a bit more patience or a high-energy dog that needs proper handling on walks. In an owner’s home, I’m respectful of their space and follow all instructions around feeding, exercise, and care. I make sure pets are secure at all times—checking leads, gates, and surroundings. At my home on the farm, there’s plenty of space, but pets are always supervised in a safe environment, I am very aware of the ability dogs and cats may have as I’ve seen my puppy jump a big gate . Overall, I just aim to keep pets comfortable and well looked after while and for their owners to feel comfortable and confident their pets will be safe
“My dog Molly, a mature lady of 12 years had great care from Ines, who made no fuss about Molly shedding big time - great clumps of fur ready for spring/summer, in the family home! That was my big worry..... the photos and video were great to receive during Molly’s day care.It was lovely to meet Ines other doggy ‘ clients’. Thank You Ines and family.”
About: Animals have always been a passion of mine & nothing beats a wagging tail! Having spent 14 years as a professional dog walker in Surrey, we moved to Norfolk for my husbands job and a slower pace of life, but for me something was missing, my four legged friends. Treating your dog as my own, providing the love, care and attention, that they deserve on their walks and stays. I am DBS checked & having my own Public Liability Insurance for dog walking & sitting. I will provide a safe, fun and sociable service. Sometimes life just stands in the way of providing the time and attention your beloved pet requires. So come walk, feed or play, I will be there. Having moved here recently and settling into our new life in the country, I am not currently working, so it would fit in perfectly with a school run in the mix. I have a large fenced garden, with plenty of space to explore, with a miniature dachshund who loves to socialise and play. I have 2 children, aged 10 & 11, who love dogs, the outdoors & exploring.
About: I've had a dog since I was a child, almost 4 years ago I got our Bedlington whippet Rufus. I am not a fan of aversive training methods. I work from home and have time to let the doggy out into the garden and play with them during my breaks. Doggies can play together or just chill next to me in the bed of my spare room/office. We have woods nearby where we go for walks every day. I can only sit potty trained non-destructive dogs that can get on with neutered male dog. I have a fenced garden, it is not large but big enough for some zoomies. Doggies can be on the sofa or beds and will be let out to the garden whenever ring the reception bell I have placed next to the door to the garden. Rufus has learnt to ring it and your pooch no doubt will too easily, if they howl at me I'll come running as well.
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats and have grown up with pets most of my life. I'm often asked to sit for families pets. I enjoy walking, I have experience in giving dogs medication. I'm very reliable. I currently work in a family support worker, l have plenty of spare time to look after your dog, as my hours are flexible. I enjoy woodland and beach walks or villages walks so I can meet the needs of your pet. Very calm and caring person, I work with children and families, some skills are the same which helps to care for dogs too. I am around dogs a lot and am often out for walks. Felixable, kind. Loves the outside and walking.
“Amazing! Great giving me lots of information and asking questions prior to our first visit. So friendly and welcoming when dropping him off and then updates and photos in the day - just the reassurance I didn’t know I wanted! At pick up he was so happy playing barely noticed me! Will certainly be recommending and re-using Amy! 🖤”
About: I love animals and animals love, me and my mum rescued a swallow once and still have many memories of it. She went from injured as a baby to being able too fly away. Pet care fits in to my weekly routine as I work many different shifts and I only work part-time. I live nearby a massive park and in a neighbourhood full of pets. I care for pets to the clients request and I have always had pets so I would care for my clients pets as if they were my own aswell.
About: I have been providing trusted pet care for family, friends, and neighbours since my teenage years. Growing up with three Staffies, I developed a deep understanding of dog behaviour early on. I have also loved and raised two dogs of my own: an Old Time Bulldog and, more recently, Trixie, our sweet Romanian rescue. I am highly comfortable with different breeds, histories, and rescue backgrounds. Our household is also home to two friendly indoor cats. one curious and one shy! We are also well-versed in feline personalities and boundaries. I would love to open up our home to care for your pets with the exact same love, attention, and dedication we give our own. My partner and I both work full time with a hybrid office and work from home schedule. Our routines are perfectly balanced so that at least one of us is almost always at home during the day. We can provide dedicated attention, frequent toilet breaks and walks, and companionship during the week and throughout the weekend. In our home, your pet becomes a true part of the family. We have a large, secure, fenced garden that is perfect for zoomies, sniffing, and safe playtime. Because one of us is almost always working from home, your dog will enjoy a natural, stress free routine filled with companionship, regular toilet breaks, and plenty of sofa cuddles. We absolutely love going for walks and will tailor the outdoor time to your dog's specific energy levels, whether that means an active trek or a gentle sniff walk. Since we have two indoor cats, we keep guest dogs in our main living areas and can use secure separation when needed to ensure everyone feels entirely safe and relaxed. When caring for your pets in your own home, my absolute priority is maintaining their normal, comforting routine. I will follow your exact instructions for feeding, medication, and sleep setups. For dogs, I love taking them out for their favourite local walks and ensuring they get plenty of outdoor exercise and stimulation. For cats and smaller pets, I dedicate focused time to interactive play or quiet companionship, depending on their personality. I am extremely respectful of your space, keeping your home perfectly clean, secure, and tidy. I will also send regular photo updates so you have total peace of mind 😊

About: I have taken care of many dogs from a young age. I am an animal lover and will take care of all dogs as if they were my own. I am a university student so have lots of spare time to walk your dog! I am available weekdays and some weekends and am very flexible to what hours suit you best. I have a fenced garden and have all the equipment required to take your dog on a safe and enjoyable walk! I have a very friendly cavapoo if your dog needs some company! I have been caring for my own dog and other family and friends dogs for the past 3 years so your dog will be in great hands with me!
About: Hi, I’m Paulina — though the dogs know me as Pawlina 🐾! I run PAWLINA: Home for Pets, a safe, licensed, and insured home-from-home for dogs in Little Fransham. I hold a Breckland Council Animal Welfare Licence (AWL0208) for home boarding and daycare of up to 5 dogs, so you can be sure your pets are cared for to the highest standards. I’ve loved animals since I was a child—my home was always full of pets, and I’ve felt happiest outdoors in nature. I’m calm and gentle, which animals seem to naturally sense. Even the shyest ones warm up to me quickly and often come over for cuddles. I can't walk away when an animal needs help—like the little kitten I rescued and found a loving home for (take a peek at my gallery, but be prepared for a cuteness overload 😍). It makes me very happy to make animals feel safe and loved. What I also love about my pet-sitting work is the chance to meet wonderful people—pet owners who, like me, truly care about animals. From my experience, pet owners are some of the kindest and most caring individuals you can find, and I feel lucky to be around such a kind community. At Pawlina's, your furry family member will be safe, loved, and treated like one of my own. I can’t wait to welcome them and help them feel right at home! 🐾❤️ I work part-time from home — just a couple of hours in the morning and a couple in the afternoon, Monday to Friday. Because my job is home-based, I’m available all week to care for your pets. They’ll never be left for long periods and will always get plenty of time, care, and attention every single day. Together with my partner, I live in a cosy two-bed bungalow with a secure 0.17-acre garden in peaceful Little Fransham. The area is wonderfully quiet, with beautiful walks right on our doorstep — perfect for outdoor adventures with pets. Whether welcoming your furry friend into my spacious, pet-friendly home or caring for them in yours, I prioritise creating a calm and secure environment. I’m happy to follow your pet’s routines and preferences so they feel completely at ease.

About: I grew up in a dog-loving home with an Irish Red Setter rescue and a Doberman we raised from a puppy, so I'm no stranger to big dogs with big personalities. Over the years, I've cared for pups of all sizes, breeds, and ages—from energetic puppies to sweet senior dogs. Whether your dog loves long walks, belly rubs, or just someone to keep them company, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, loved, and totally spoiled while you're away. A recent move means I am now taking on new clients in and around Norwich. Please see my reviews and reach out for a chat if I can help to care for your pup! I’m working from home, with plenty of gaps in between for toilet breaks and walks in the park - I like to get away from my desk when I can and would love for your dog to join me. I’ve been house sitting for a number of years, both through Rover (please check my reviews) and word of mouth from my existing clients. I will care for your home as if it is my own. I am happy to discuss carrying out tasks unrelated to your pup, too.
About: Having always had dogs, I’ve looked after others during travelling and for friends. Treating them like my own, they’d be in safe hands whilst you’re away from home. Having dog sat for a variety of dogs with a variety of needs, rest assured your dog will have lots of fun with me! I’m currently working part-time and trying to build my own business. I like to be an active individual so walking and taking care of other dogs will bring joy to my days when I’m not busy working. I can easily care for your dog in your home with a clear routine (if you have one). I ensure that all doors, outdoor gates are secure to ensure your dogs safety.
About: Fully Qualified in pet sitting and dog walking. Full DBS has been completed. I have had previous experience working in a Boarding Kennels. I have had several Dogs myself of many different breeds. I also used to train Greyhounds and Whippets within the Racing environment. I set up the business to continue my love of working with animals. But mainly to provide a service that allows Clients to ensure their pets are well looked after when other commitments call. I know how close to us our pets are so clear communication with my Clients on how their pet is doing would be key. I set up Bark 4 the Lead at the beginning of 2024. This is my full time Job so the pets that are boarded here have my full attention throughout the day and night. I offer dog walking which I complete in the morning for a couple of my Clients. I live in a very quiet area down a service track. The property is fenced in with no other pets in the household. I recommend clients to visit with their pets prior to booking so they feel comfortable and reassured.
“Susan walked Lenny once last Monday. I no longer need her as my regular dog walker is back from hols. I do not know why I have received a notice of reoccurring payment as I paid Rover £12.95 and also Susan £14. Can admin sort this out and confirm I do not pay for a reoccurring service with Susan. I did not set this up at any time, I don't expect Susan did either as she knew it was a one off arrangement.”
About: All my life I have always been around animals. Dogs, cats, rabbits, rodents and farm animals too. I have a diploma in animal welfare and I dreamed to be a vet (sadly didn't happen) I currently walk some local dogs and have them over for doggy day care. I also look after my friends horses and animals at a small farm in my old workplace. I have so much love, patience and understanding to everything with four legs. I'm vegan, and have so much respect for all animals, big and small. I am a stay at home mum, so have all the time for your beloved pets. I have two sons, who are full of energy, so love to go out for long walks. I am very flexible and accommodating, and will always put your pets needs first.

About: Hi!

About: I've grown up with dogs + fish. Now I've had 2 beautiful cats for the last 3 years. My partner, who will also help, has grown up with cats/dogs/chickens and more! Between the 2 of us we have 2 dogs and 3 cats currently. I work from home full time in the golden triangle so can easily pop out to check in on pups or kittens😺. My partner works from her salon Tuesday - Friday in fakenham so she can also provide services there if need be. We have a big car so taking big dogs out for a great walk is easy to do! My garden is fenced but only 3ft. Therefore they can use it for toilets etc with me supervising but I'd aim to take your dogs out for nice walks (if they are able to).
About: I am an experienced pet owner and have had many dogs and cats over the years. We even had 14 cats at one point! I currently have my own 4 month old kitten, called Wrathion, the black prince (my partner named him, not me!) I’m happy caring for kittens and puppies as well as older cats and dogs! I am currently in maternity leave, so am not taking any booking until the end of September. I’m happy to pop in as much or as little as you need. I’ve recently moved to Wymondham but can drive, so am able to travel within a 10 miles radius. I understand it can be scary to leave your animals in the care of a stranger, so I am more than happy to come and meet your pets before I look after them. I will give them as much or as little fuss as they want. I’m also happy send you updates via WhatsApp.

“Kobe had such a wonderful stay with Mat and his family. Prior to boarding we arranged a pre-stay meeting which was great and really helpful, from that initial meeting I knew Kobe would be very well looked after. Throughout his stay Mat kept us updated with Kobe's progress and sent lots of pictures which was so lovely. Would definitely recommend and will definitely be using Mat again for boarding, so long as the crazy pup is welcome ??. Thank you all so much for looking after our boy.”
“Thanks to Laura again! Bear had a wonderful holiday with Laura while I could go away for work relaxed in the knowledge that his every need was taken care of. Laura very kindly keeps me updated with Bears adventures while he is with her, which are always nice to see that he is totally taken care of! Thanks again Laura”
“As soon as I met Victoria I knew she was responsible, friendly and approachable. I felt my dog was enjoying himself with Victoria’s dog and was sent photos of them playing together. I had complete faith in her being able to look after Bailey and when he returned home he was tired but happy.”
“Left our crazy spaniel with Kirsty for the first time the other day. Very happy! We were excited to be her first rover booking and we can safely say we Would definitely recommend! She went out of her way to make sure reign was comfortable and happy and got what he needed. She is a kind, bubbly, polite lady and you can tell how much she cares for the dogs. Again, would definitely reccomend and will be back again at some point, reign looks forward to it, thanks again Kirsty”
“Alex and her family looked after Sonny for three days while we were away, and we couldn't have asked for better care. We received daily updates and photos, which gave us complete peace of mind. Sonny was clearly very happy, well looked after, and treated as part of the family. He enjoyed regular walks, including lovely walks in the forest, and it was wonderful to see him having such a great time. Alex was caring, reliable, and attentive to all of Sonny's needs. We are incredibly grateful for the love and care Sonny received and would highly recommend Alex and her family to anyone looking for a safe, caring, and trustworthy home for their pet.”
“Thank you Jan for taking such excellent care of our little lady. We feel so blessed to have found someone who is professional yet so caring and somehow instantly created a home from home for Lucrezia. Perfect! We look forward to her upcoming next stay.”
“Our high spirited lab puppy Rocky was very well looked after and had a great time with Juno. Paulo and Francisco were excellent- great communication and kindly sent us photos too which were very much appreciated. Rocky is really looking forward to his next stay.”
“I can’t recommend Abby enough. Abby recommended an overnight stay before our dog Duke’s booking, which I thought was a great idea, making sure everyone was comfortable. Duke stayed with Abby for 12 days, she kept in touch and also took Duke to a run free meadow and for beach walks, making him part of their family. When we collected Duke, he seemed happy and content and Abby had gone the extra mile by cleaning all his bedding before his return. I will definitely be using Abby again and recommending her to all my friends and family.”
“Ernie had a great time with Lisa again. He’s excited in the car as soon as we get to the village. He had a nice trip to the beach and he was so comfy on the sofa when I arrived to pick him he didn’t even notice I was there lol.”
“This was Jaspers 2nd stay with Dominic. He was made to feel welcome as soon as he arrived. Him & Thunder seem at ease in each others company which is lovely to see. Dominic sent regular photos of his stay. I feel comfortable leaving him, knowing he is being well cared for. I think he missed Thunder when we got home! Thank you 🙂”
“I have a relaxed tired dog, who settled well. The communication was amazing to help reassure me that she was happy! Highly recommend and will book again. Thank you both and deezy!”
“We left our shepsky Koda in the care of Sylvia and her family while my family and I were on holiday for two weeks. I could see that Koda had a fantastic time through the pictures I was regularly sent. I received frequent updates and came home to a wagging tail. Thank you Sylvia.”

I am currently working from home, which allows me to build pet care naturally into my daily routine. Caring for pets is part of my everyday life. I provide feeding, fresh water, exercise, enrichment, grooming where needed, and regular health monitoring each day. I also ensure living areas are kept clean and that each animal receives plenty of love, attention, and positive interaction. My flexible schedule means I am able to adapt to the individual needs of each pet, whether that involves walks, playtime, administering medication if required, or simply providing companionship. Whether it's playful dogs, curious cats, or small mammals, every animal is given a safe, happy, and caring environment where their welfare is my priority. Your pets will feel right at home with me. I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where animals can relax, play, and thrive.

“Louise took Winnie for me very last minute due to personal bereavement and she was so lovely and very responsive. They live in a beautiful farmhouse with so much land with a fully protective garden. I got sent plenty of photos and Winnie was very loved and looked after by the family. I highly recommend Louise to look after your furry loved ones and thank you again!”
“My very nervous whippet Betty and bumptious terrier Carson, had a wonderful time here. First time and well settled in on sofa and on someone ‘s lap as shown in the photos sent to me with updates on their progress. I would have no concerns in recommending this very caring family home for dog sitting”
“Such a kind and thoughtful woman. Our dog is allergic to Christmas trees, and Andrea was so accommodating, that she moved her tree away from any areas our dog had access too. We got the feeling that nothing was too much trouble for her, and we're very grateful that she could take in our dog at such short notice. We would definitely recommend Andrea and her beautiful dog.”
“Our border terrier Clover had a great time with Lillia. She sent us lots of photos showing Clover relaxed and happy. The family all listened to our explaining Clovers needs and foibles and I would definitely leave Clover with Lillia again. Highly recommended.”

We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them and will definitely be booking again!”
“Ernie had a lovely time with Gabriella. She kept me up to date while I was away and sent me pics and videos. She took him out on lovely walks and was very caring of him. Thanks so much!
