“Thank you Teresa for looking after Bess so well again and having her stay for her first night with you. ❤️ it was so great to have the photos come through and to know she was in safe hands. Thank you.”
“Jackie and Amanda were great looking after our treasured Cocker Spaniel Louis for 9 days whilst we were abroad. We had full confidence in them from the moment we met them. They kept us fully informed with regular photos and updates.We had total peace of mind that Louis was in excellent hands. Would highly recommend and would definitely use again!”
“Moose had a wonderful stay with Lauren. He adored the whole family and was well looked after. We were regularly updated on how he was doing. Thank you!”
“May was absolutely wonderful! Our shiba stayed with her for 10 days. She took great care of our pup. May sent lots of updates including a daily schedule, photos, and videos. May is also a dog trainer and helped to reduce how much our dog pulls on the leash. I’ll definitely book her again when I need a dogsitter.”
“Charlotte & family are fantastic doggy sitters! Lani felt right at home straight away and clearly had a lovely time. Their dog, Roy, is the sweetest little boy who welcomed Lani into his home with ease. Charlotte updated me about how she was getting on and we felt very comfortable with her being there. Will definitely book again, thank you!”
“Catherine treated our Lenny like one of the family while we were away for a week, it was clear he really liked her and also that she liked him. He came home so calm and happy, we worried he’d want to stay with her, poppy, and her girls. We will definitely be using again.”
“Fantastic dog sitter, I would highly recommend him to everyone. So reassuring to know I’ve got my go to person to leave my dog with when I need it. 5 stars!!”
About: I’m a genuine animal lover with hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, and I truly enjoy spending time with animals of all personalities and sizes. Although I’m just starting out as a professional pet sitter, I’ve spent years looking after pets for friends, family, and neighbours. I’ve cared for dogs ranging from small to large breeds, helping with feeding, walks, playtime, and keeping them company while their owners are away. I also have plenty of experience with cats. I previously lived in a house share with a rescued cat, who I helped care for daily. My mum has a cat, and I regularly look after him whenever my mum is on holiday or when they come to visit me. In addition, I often help neighbours by providing house-sitting services for their cats — feeding them, cleaning litter trays, and spending time playing with them to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I’m responsible, reliable, and organised. I understand how important it is for pet owners to feel confident that their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I’d love the opportunity to look after your pet and make sure they feel relaxed, loved, and well looked after while you’re away. I work full time, but pet care fits very naturally into my routine. I’m available on weekends, and I also occasionally work from home, which gives me additional flexibility during the week. On working days, I’m happy to do house visits before or after work, and in many cases even during my lunch break. This allows me to provide consistent care such as feeding, playtime, litter tray cleaning, walks, and general check-ins. I plan my schedule carefully to make sure each pet receives reliable, attentive care and quality time. I understand how important routine is for animals, and I always aim to fit pet care around their needs while keeping owners updated and reassured. I tailor my care to each pet’s individual needs and routine, whether I’m caring for them in my home or visiting them in their own home. The services I offer include feeding, playtime, walks, and cleaning litter trays. I make sure pets are well fed, exercised, mentally stimulated, and feel comfortable and relaxed while in my care. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walking routines, and any special requirements. In my home, pets have access to a large, secure fenced garden where they can safely play, explore, and enjoy outdoor time. Indoors, I provide a calm and welcoming environment and make sure pets receive plenty of attention and companionship. When caring for pets in their owner’s home, I focus on maintaining their usual routine so they feel secure. This includes feeding, walks or playtime, cleaning litter trays, and spending quality time with them to ensure they feel comfortable while their owners are away. My priority is always to make sure pets feel safe, entertained, and well cared for.
“Pippin had a lovely stay. She had lots of exercise and seemed happy and relaxed when I came to pick her up. This was a great experience overall, with real care being taken to make her feel comfortable and to help her settle in. I would highly recommend this sitter.”
“Lily and family was amazing with my pooch. Being my First time In leaving my baby I was very nervous of how she would be. My pooch settled right in and loved Every minute being with lily. I was updated with photos and walk routines every day and never had to ask lily for Updates. This has made my trips going forward a lot more Stress free knowing how much lily cares and adores my pooch. Will definitely be re booking with lily in the future. Thank you for your service lily ♥️”
“Rocio took great care of our dog during an overnight stay. She has a big backyard and plenty of toys to keep the dogs entertained. Our dog instantly took a liking to her and was very reluctant to come back home ?”
“Erin and Andrea did an excellent job of looking after our little pug Peanut whilst we were on holiday. Andrea sent regular updates with photos and videos throughout the week and Peanut had a great time on walks, playing games and hanging out with Püs their pug. Erin and Andrea were also helpful and flexible about pick up and drop off times despite us having to change these last minute due to delays with our flights and trains. Thank you both for everything - we would whole heartedly recommend them :)”
About: Iv owned two pugs , I currently have a Frenchie and Labrador 😁 im willing to look after any doggy who needs some love while their owners are away. I’m a relaxed, caring, and reliable dog lover who treats every dog like one of my own. While you’re away, your furry friend will receive plenty of love, attention, exercise, and cuddles in a safe, happy home. I’m currently on maternity leave, so I’m home throughout the day and can provide lots of supervision and company. When my partner is home, we enjoy taking the dogs on long walks, countryside adventures, and fun outings. We also love taking them in the car for new experiences! Our home is very dog-friendly, with a large secure garden where dogs can run, play, and relax. I understand that accidents can happen, and I want every dog to feel comfortable and at home during their stay.
“Kinga was fantastic and I would recommend to anyone. She kindly took our late booking and asked lots of questions, making sure our boy would be as comfortable as possible. Our dog got along great with Rai, he is definitely missing her a bit after going home! It was clear that our dog was in great hands and had a good time with Kinga.”
“Amazing experience, we felt Ella was in safe and loving hands. Before Ella went to stay, Suey sent over a form to get to know Ella. During the stay we had several updates every day of what she was up to. She looked like she had a great time! This enabled us to relax and enjoy our holiday knowing Ella was with such caring and dog focussed people.”
“Miriam was excellent with Dash. He is a young, strong and excitable pup (currently 7 months). She made Dash feel at home and was able to give him the running and playing that a GSP needs. We’re very grateful to Miriam and Dash will definitely use Miriam’s services again.”
“Larissa was great with our dog Mo. He was happy and well taken care of while we were away, and she sent regular updates during his stay. Would rebook again with Larissa in the future.”
“Pippin was very well looked after by Leonidas and seemed to have a lovely time and came back very happy and tired out! We appreciated the daily updates and easy communication. Many thanks!”

About: Hi! I'm a 30-year-old cat lover based in Cambridge and I work from home, giving me a flexible schedule to care for your cat. I have a cat of my own and regularly look after friends' cats while they're away. I'm experienced with feeding, playtime, litter box cleaning, giving plenty of attention, and respecting each cat's unique personality. Whether your cat is playful, shy, or simply enjoys a quiet companion, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away.
About: Hi, I’m Jackie—a proud cat lady with 25+ cats loved over the years! I offer friendly, stress-free cat sitting and drop-in visits for holidays, short breaks, or a helping hand. Local, trustworthy & fully insured—your cats are in safe hands 🐾
About: I grew up with cats and have looked after pedigree breeds (British Shorthair) as well as rescues. I absolutely adore cats and their inquisitive and playful nature, they really make me laugh.
About: I’ve been around cats my entire life, so caring for them comes naturally. Growing up with cats has given me experience with a wide range of personalities, from confident and affectionate lap cats to nervous and senior cats with more complex needs. I understand that every cat is different and can adapt to different temperaments. Alongside my life long experience with cats, my policing background has shaped me into a dependable, observant and trustworthy person. As a cat sitter, this means you can rely on me to follow your instructions carefully and fully, to respect your home, notice any changes in your cats behaviour and keep you informed with clear updates. Trusting someone with your pet and home is a huge decision, and I take that responsibility seriously.
“We're repeat customers of Larissa's, and we will certainly be using her again. Our cat Flash loves her and has from the moment they met. Though Flash is getting on in years, Larissa always coaxes her into playing with her toys - something we can't get her to do - and also spends time cuddling with her. Larissa also goes above and beyond the call of duty: When our flight back home was delayed once, she remained on standby, waiting until she got confirmation from us that we were back. She's a conscientious, responsible, and amiable young woman. We can't recommend her highly enough.”
“Thank you Julie for looking after our cat over the Christmas break while we were away. I believe Zuma definitely enjoyed her stay with you, and thank you for the picture and video updates.”

About: Been dog owners all our lives & often sit friends dogs. Love watching our friendly dog Roy play with other doggies :) Roy is a very friendly, if not some what excitable 4 year old who loves other dogs. I am at home all the time with Roy! Multiple walks a day and lots of playing in the house :) I can be very flexible with timings of walks, and letting dogs out at their home. I would love having more doggies in the home. I have a fenced back garden, and live close to lovely walks in the local area. I always make sure the dogs we looked after are well fed, well walked and get plenty of love and attention.
“Danuta looked after our puppy Jeffrey and he had a great time! She took a lot of photos throughout the day, took him on walks and he was able to interact and play with other dogs who were also in Danuta’s care. We will be booking with Danuta again in the future 😃”
About: My name is Kinga and like many people I grew up with dogs and have had dogs throughout my adult life. I love living with dogs, looking after them and simply being around them.I have experience of caring for dogs of various breeds such as Greyhounds, Golden Retrievers, Labradors, Labradoodle, German Shepherds, and Cane Corso, to name a few. As a dog owner I know how important it is to have your pet looked after by someone who is reliable, dependable and trustworthy and who will make your pet feel safe, comfortable and happy. I’m happy to help look after your pet/s whilst you go away or when you are at work. I’m patient with animals and confident with looking after dogs of all sizes and ages. I’m working from home and therefore will be around to look after your pet 24/7 and can be flexible to accommodate your pets needs. I love walks with the dogs and snuggles on the sofa. I have a medium size, secure garden where your pet can chill in the sun or have a playtime. The safety of your dog is paramount when out and about thus I am mindful what areas and walks I chose.
“Rocco spent the day with Rachel , he loved it and the other doggies as well. Will defiantly take him back to Rachel she obviously loves dogs and treats yours like her own . Amazing communication as well and pics . Thank you so much ?”
About: We’re Alice and Josh - a calm, reliable married couple. We’ve grown up with dogs. We currently have a friendly rescue Lurcher called Mona who we trained ourselves. We’re experienced with walks, enrichment, basic training and play. We work from home and love getting out before work, at lunch and after work for nice walks. We are keen to welcome more dogs into our home and introduce Mona to some friends. We work from home most week days and have flexible jobs. One of us is always at home with our Lurcher Mona. We go out for a morning, lunchtime and evening walk and love getting outside into nature around Sawston. We do enrichment and training as much as we can. We have a small secure fenced garden. We have plenty of nice walks on our doorstep around Sawston including Orchard Park, Babraham Forest and the Whittlesford loop. We live down a quiet driveway. We have a large open plan living room kitchen which is where Mona sleeps and at least one of us works, with space for another dog. Dogs are allowed on our sofa.
“At short notice, I was able to book Ping Yan to look after our dog three times over half term for a full day. She was very professional, friendly and caring and I felt 100% confidence in her. She kept contact throughout the day sending videos and information about how our dog was doing, which was great. On the first day, we were stuck in London and got back much later than we had initially anticipated. Ping Yan was very understanding and kept telling us not to worry as we waited on delayed trains to get back to Cambridge. She made us feel very reassured which really helped. I can’t imagine that anyone would be anything but overjoyed at the way Ping looks after dogs so you have nothing to worry about with her. She was also very punctual whenever I texted her to say that we’d be downstairs in a few minutes to meet her.”
About: I’ve spent 35 years caring for dogs and cats, including my own pets and those belonging to friends and family. I’m experienced in dog walking, home visits and pet sitting, and understand that every animal has its own personality, routine and needs. I’m calm, patient and attentive, and will care for your pet as I would my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable and loved while you’re away. I’m equally happy providing energetic walks and playtime or quiet companionship for older pets. I’ll follow your instructions carefully and keep you updated, so you can relax knowing your pet is in safe and reliable hands. I’m available for pet care full-time and can offer a flexible schedule throughout the week, including weekdays, weekends, mornings and evenings. I can arrange walks, drop-in visits and pet sitting around your pet’s usual routine, giving them plenty of time, attention and companionship. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always come first. I’ll take time to understand their routine, temperament, feeding, exercise and any special requirements, and will follow your instructions carefully. I’ll keep doors, gates and leads secure, respect your home and never force interaction with a nervous or cautious pet. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos and contact you immediately if I notice any change in your pet’s health or behaviour.
“John was fantastic looking after our two boys! He took great care of them, it was clear they were happy, relaxed, and well looked after. It gave us real peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. We came home to two very content dogs, and we wouldn't hesitate to book John again. Highly recommend!😃”
“Tahiana took great care of Cooper and was kind, caring, and communicative throughout his stay. She made me feel reassured that he was in good hands and was very patient with him. Cooper came home happy and well looked after.”
About: Welcome to my Rover profile 🐶🐾 If you're looking for a reliable, experienced pet sitter who genuinely loves animals, I’d be delighted to help take care of your pets and home while you're away. Below is more information on my experience. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me directly. With 25 years' experience caring for animals, including 4 years' volunteering in a rescue shelter, I've developed a deep passion for animals of all kinds. In rescue, I had the pleasure of walking multiple dogs on each visit and caring for a variety of animals. I regularly look after the pets of my neighbours and friends which has given me the opportunity to build trusting relationships with many furry companions. I've been a house sitter for 5 years and had the privilege of working with wonderful clients through Rover. I’ve built lasting connections with pet owners who trust me to look after their homes and pets, as if they were my own. I recently lost my own dog of 15 years, who was an adorable rescue staffy called Teddy from Battersea. I have experience with most breeds and comfortable with dogs of different sizes, ages and temperaments, including anxious or reactive dogs. I always recommend a meet and greet before booking, especially for dogs with specific needs or triggers, to make sure it’s a good fit and your dog feels safe and settled. Please do let me know in advance about any reactivity, routines, medical needs or behavioural quirks, the more I know, the better care I can provide. Thank you :) I am currently working from home (Mon-Fri), and flexible with work and meetings. For requests over 12 miles, a small fee will be charged to cover my petrol costs. Please don’t hesitate to drop me a message if you have any questions and would like to know more. I live in Saffron Walden and have a long garden in the countryside, with plenty of nearby fields, which I love to walk in. I ensure safety of pets by: • using secure leads • walking in safe areas • communicating with owners regularly • learning the commands your dog responds to • understanding your dog’s temperament • if there are any issues (I.e. not good around other dogs, people etc) • understanding what your dog enjoys (swimming in a lake) and finally, by building a great relationship with the pets and owners.
“I recently sent my lovely Samoyed to Harper and Zhong for daycare. From the time BaoBao arrived at their home, they frequently updated me with photos and videos. They were very very kind and patient with BaoBao. BaoBao had diarrhea that day, and after I asked for their advice, they still offered to take care of my dog for a day. They patiently cleaned her hair every time she had loose bowels and kept updating me on my dog. BaoBao looked so happy when I picked her up, they had a very nice day together! A huge thank to them and will definitely send my dog to them for daycare again soon!☺️☺️”
About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was young and have experience with dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities. I’m reliable, patient, and truly love spending time with animals. Friends, family, and neighbors trust me to feed, walk, and care for their pets as if they were my own. I’m attentive to each pet’s needs and always make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved.” I work in my own house, so I'm always at home and when I have to go out, my boyfriend is at home and helps me take care of them. I live in a house with a fenced garden, providing a safe and comfortable environment for pets. I can host small, calm animals in my home. For medium and large dogs, I'm happy to provide care in the owner's home. I always make sure pets feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for, following their routine and needs.
About: My names Kym and I have had dogs all my adult life, I have worked to a high level of obedience training with my dogs in the past. I have also been a dog first aider during this time. I currently have two small resident dogs. One that has been with me since a pup and the other is a rescue. Both dogs love the company of other pooches however my rescue due to his past is not a fan of humans. I work from home, so will be excited to have your little pup with me during the day and we can enjoy a nice lunchtime walk. Garden access is available all day long as your dog needs too! I have a fenced garden with large living space, your pup will have the company of two resident pooches to keep them company. I can use a crate if your pup needs this. Lots of toys and treats (if allowed) available too!! Cuddles also available all day long and I am happy to keep your schedule in place as much as possible.
About: I'm an experienced pet owner and sitter with a love for all animals. I have my own 8 year old rescue dog, Kika, who has various behavioural and medical issues which has given me a lot of experience in managing these conditions. Before adopting Kika I spent many years pet sitting through BorrowMyDoggy and Trusted Housesitters - looking after dogs of various ages and sizes, cats, and even chickens. I grew up with cats so have experience looking after all ages from young kittens through to senior and blind. In the week I work mostly from home, so for house sitting I just need somewhere to work from my laptop. My work is quite flexible, so I have plenty of time for lots of fussing and a couple of walks during the day. Depending on your pets routine, I often start the day with a longer walk before breakfast, and then a number of toilet breaks throughout the day with a short walk at lunch time. I am sometimes also able to take dogs for boarding, but my own rescue dog would need to meet them and be comfortable with them first. For housesitting I will respect your usual routine for minimal disruption to your pet, feeding and giving any medication at times they are used to, and accommodate their usual walks, garden access, sleeping arrangement etc.

About: I have had pets my whole life and love animals. I’ve grown up caring for dogs, cats, horses and chickens. As well as taking care of my own pets, I’ve done paid work including cat sitting, babysitting with dogs and general house sitting. I’m available on week days and weekends for the next two months. I’m happy staying overnight to look after pets, but cannot currently host pets at my house due to having my own dog who gets unsettled. I’m happy to cater to your pets needs, whether it’s staying in and keeping them company, or taking them for long walks. I’m happy around all pets of all sizes!
About: I've had my dog for 8 years (she's a gorgeous black lab!) and have taken care of her since she was a puppy. For the first two years of her life we attended gun dog training together so I have a good understanding of how to properly look after and train a puppy. Of course it goes without saying that plenty of love, cuddles, enrichment play and walks are also super important, something which I also have plenty of experience in! In particular my dog loves to play hide and seek with her toys around our house! I work fully remotely so I'm really able to cater to your pets needs and keep them company so they don't get lonely. I am very used to the routine of having a dog/pet so feel very comfortable with getting up early to let them out, taking them for a walk first thing in the morning etc. I can be super flexible with my job so I really can adopt your routine to keep your dog happy and calm with the consistency they're used to. I have a secure garden with a fence around the perimeter. There is a stream at the bottom but this is also fenced off securely.

About: I have been caring for dogs for over 13 years. This has included walking, drop-ins and dog sitting. I am very passionate in what I do and I treat each dog as individuals, with their own personal needs. My approach and care is tailored to give the best possible experience for both furry friends and their humans. I often send pictures of our walks. Send updates, specially on our adventure walks and keep owners informed on what their pet is doing. I am a believer of ‘always be learning’ and I like to gain new skills, which is why I did a diploma in Animal Care, Dog First Aid and Dog Training. I also have an enhanced DBS check, and I am fully insured. My specialty is individual adventure walks and I like to plan new routes and trails to give my furry companions new experience and plus I give the added bonus of a puppuccino treat when allowed. I love all my sausages (as I like to call them). I think my love and meticulous care shows and it reflects how I am as a person. I am available Monday to Friday from 6am - 6pm, with the exception of 8-9am and 3-4pm.

I'll always make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away. Working from home allows me to provide flexible, attentive care throughout the day. Whether your pet needs multiple walks, regular playtime, companionship, or extra supervision, I can easily adapt to their routine. I understand that some pets experience separation anxiety, so I'm happy to spend extra time with them to help them feel calm, safe, and comfortable while you're away. Every pet receives plenty of love, patience, and individual attention. While I'm unable to host pets in my own home because I have a cat, I'm happy to care for your pet in the comfort of their own home. Staying in a familiar environment helps reduce stress and keeps your pet in their usual routine. I'll make sure they receive plenty of attention, playtime, walks (if needed), and lots of love while you're away.

For medium and large dogs, I'm happy to provide care in the owner's home. I always make sure pets feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for, following their routine and needs.

“Thank you Teresa for looking after Bess so well again and having her stay for her first night with you. ❤️ it was so great to have the photos come through and to know she was in safe hands. Thank you.”
“Moose had a wonderful stay with Lauren. He adored the whole family and was well looked after. We were regularly updated on how he was doing. Thank you!”
“May was absolutely wonderful! Our shiba stayed with her for 10 days. She took great care of our pup. May sent lots of updates including a daily schedule, photos, and videos. May is also a dog trainer and helped to reduce how much our dog pulls on the leash. I’ll definitely book her again when I need a dogsitter.”
“Charlotte & family are fantastic doggy sitters! Lani felt right at home straight away and clearly had a lovely time. Their dog, Roy, is the sweetest little boy who welcomed Lani into his home with ease. Charlotte updated me about how she was getting on and we felt very comfortable with her being there. Will definitely book again, thank you!”
“Catherine treated our Lenny like one of the family while we were away for a week, it was clear he really liked her and also that she liked him. He came home so calm and happy, we worried he’d want to stay with her, poppy, and her girls. We will definitely be using again.”
“Fantastic dog sitter, I would highly recommend him to everyone. So reassuring to know I’ve got my go to person to leave my dog with when I need it. 5 stars!!”
About: I’m a genuine animal lover with hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, and I truly enjoy spending time with animals of all personalities and sizes. Although I’m just starting out as a professional pet sitter, I’ve spent years looking after pets for friends, family, and neighbours. I’ve cared for dogs ranging from small to large breeds, helping with feeding, walks, playtime, and keeping them company while their owners are away. I also have plenty of experience with cats. I previously lived in a house share with a rescued cat, who I helped care for daily. My mum has a cat, and I regularly look after him whenever my mum is on holiday or when they come to visit me. In addition, I often help neighbours by providing house-sitting services for their cats — feeding them, cleaning litter trays, and spending time playing with them to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I’m responsible, reliable, and organised. I understand how important it is for pet owners to feel confident that their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I’d love the opportunity to look after your pet and make sure they feel relaxed, loved, and well looked after while you’re away. I work full time, but pet care fits very naturally into my routine. I’m available on weekends, and I also occasionally work from home, which gives me additional flexibility during the week. On working days, I’m happy to do house visits before or after work, and in many cases even during my lunch break. This allows me to provide consistent care such as feeding, playtime, litter tray cleaning, walks, and general check-ins. I plan my schedule carefully to make sure each pet receives reliable, attentive care and quality time. I understand how important routine is for animals, and I always aim to fit pet care around their needs while keeping owners updated and reassured. I tailor my care to each pet’s individual needs and routine, whether I’m caring for them in my home or visiting them in their own home. The services I offer include feeding, playtime, walks, and cleaning litter trays. I make sure pets are well fed, exercised, mentally stimulated, and feel comfortable and relaxed while in my care. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walking routines, and any special requirements. In my home, pets have access to a large, secure fenced garden where they can safely play, explore, and enjoy outdoor time. Indoors, I provide a calm and welcoming environment and make sure pets receive plenty of attention and companionship. When caring for pets in their owner’s home, I focus on maintaining their usual routine so they feel secure. This includes feeding, walks or playtime, cleaning litter trays, and spending quality time with them to ensure they feel comfortable while their owners are away. My priority is always to make sure pets feel safe, entertained, and well cared for.
“Pippin had a lovely stay. She had lots of exercise and seemed happy and relaxed when I came to pick her up. This was a great experience overall, with real care being taken to make her feel comfortable and to help her settle in. I would highly recommend this sitter.”
“Rocio took great care of our dog during an overnight stay. She has a big backyard and plenty of toys to keep the dogs entertained. Our dog instantly took a liking to her and was very reluctant to come back home ?”
About: Iv owned two pugs , I currently have a Frenchie and Labrador 😁 im willing to look after any doggy who needs some love while their owners are away. I’m a relaxed, caring, and reliable dog lover who treats every dog like one of my own. While you’re away, your furry friend will receive plenty of love, attention, exercise, and cuddles in a safe, happy home. I’m currently on maternity leave, so I’m home throughout the day and can provide lots of supervision and company. When my partner is home, we enjoy taking the dogs on long walks, countryside adventures, and fun outings. We also love taking them in the car for new experiences! Our home is very dog-friendly, with a large secure garden where dogs can run, play, and relax. I understand that accidents can happen, and I want every dog to feel comfortable and at home during their stay.
“Kinga was fantastic and I would recommend to anyone. She kindly took our late booking and asked lots of questions, making sure our boy would be as comfortable as possible. Our dog got along great with Rai, he is definitely missing her a bit after going home! It was clear that our dog was in great hands and had a good time with Kinga.”
“Our Springer had a wonderful weekend with Chloe. He came home very relaxed and happy. She really looked after him with great walks, good company and he enjoyed being with her and her family. They treated him like one of the family. Chloe is very honest, her house is lovely, clean and tidy and she has a garden. Highly recommend.”
“Jan & Bruce are brilliant, very caring and made sure my dog Ted was happy and safe. He had a lovely time with them, lots of walks and games in their garden, and snoozing on the sofa. Great communication and updates on how Ted was - we will definitely be back to see them again soon! Thanks J&B!”
“Could not fault Sally and her partner at all. They looked after my Labrador for 5 nights and they kept me updated, send me pictures and were sure quick with responses. I can tell Hector had the best time and was looked after with so much care and also lots and lots of love! Will definitely be rebooking with Sally and could not recommend her enough!”
“Steven was an absolute pleasure to deal with. I recieved lots of photos and regular updates. He also went above and beyond to make sure Indy felt at home and had a wonderful stay, with lots of walks and pampering! I would highly recommend and will certainly be rebooking with Steven again.”
“Stella was an incredible sitter for our 3-year-old golden, Breck! She sent lots of photos, gave plenty of updates, and gave him so much attention and exercise. I could tell she and her partner loved looking after him and I will definitely be using them again when we travel. Highly recommend!”
