About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life. I grew up with family dogs and was lucky enough to own a lovely Spaniel myself, so I understand just how much our pets mean to us. I also have spent eight years working alongside working dogs in the Civil Service, which gave me great experience around dogs with different personalities, needs, and routines. Above all, I genuinely love animals and enjoy spending time with them. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the sofa, or simply having company throughout the day, I’ll make sure they feel happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work Monday to Friday and have the flexibility of working from home on certain days. However, when I agree to look after your dog, I will ensure that I am not working so that I can give them the time, attention, and care they deserve. I enjoy being active and love going on long walks, so your dog will have plenty of opportunities for exercise, enrichment, and outdoor adventures. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I have a secure, fenced garden where dogs can safely enjoy time outdoors, and I live just a 5-minute walk from a large open playing field, perfect for walks, exercise, and playtime. I take great pride in caring not only for dogs but also in maintaining a clean, safe, and welcoming home environment.
“As always, our Teddy loves staying here. The attention and love he gets, hes never unhappy and always kept upto date with photos and messages. Thanks Sarah and Paul (and Harvey ❤️) x”
About: Hi, I’m Maria! 🐾 I am home full-time with my dog Teddy by my side. We love canine company and would be delighted to welcome your furry friend into our home. I'm available for full day care, and possibly overnight stays. Our home is calm and child-free, making it an ideal environment for dogs who need a peaceful space. Teddy is a small dog who is great with other dogs and enjoys having playmates to share his day with. We have a secure garden where they can play safely. Since I'm here around the clock, your dog will receive plenty of attention, care, and companionship throughout their stay -they'll never be left alone for long periods. I’m at home all day. My little dog is walked by 10am most mornings and then has the use of the garden for the rest of the day. In the nicer weather he may get more walks!! I have a secure garden for dogs to enjoy, including a safely fenced-off pond area so they can explore while staying protected. Safety is always my priority.
“Kezia looked after our Weimeraner, Salto, and we can't recommend her enough. This was Salto's first time away and as he struggles the separation anxiety, we weren't sure how he would cope. Well we had no need to worry, Salto settled incredibly quickly and had a fantastic time, he has come home super happy and relaxed, which is better than any review I can give. Kezia kept us updated the whole weekend with plenty of photos, which we really appreciated and nothing was too much to ask. I've already started looking at more weekends away and won't hesitate to use Kezia again. Thank you! ✨”
“Everything went really well from start to finish with Dee. Doug was so happy living with his new buddy Ron that I'm not sure if he really wanted to come home. I would highly recommend.”
“Inga was absolutely fantastic taking care of our Lola this weekend, kept us updated with messages and pictures the entire time. Will definitely use her again!! Thank you so much, Lola had a great time 🥰”
“Martin gives the absolute best care, a real home from home. I have such peace of mind when Pippa stays with Martin. I can really relax when away and receive regular updates and photos. I highly recommend Martin S for worry free dog care.”
“I would absolutely recommend booking with Monica. Communication was great, with updates and photos. I felt very comfortable leaving Murphy as from our initial meeting I knew Murphy was going to get lots of care and attention. I would definitely book again when needed.”
“A lovely time! Excellent care. Very happy dogs. Sarah, Christian & their sweet dog Bella gave our two such a welcome. A real holiday for them both, with plenty of updates of their daily adventures. Plenty of exercise to keep our energetic spaniels content and a warmth from the family that was palpable. Thank you for such care.”
“Lubomira spoilt my Maya rotten! I was showered with photos and videos the whole time I was away to keep me at ease and let me know what she was up to! Maya thoroughly enjoyed her stay. I have already rebooked!! Thank you very much for looking after my fur baby so well :)”
“Megan was absolutely wonderful with BoBo! Our miniature Dachshund can be quite a nervous soul in new places, but Megan’s patient approach meant he settled in no time. She followed every instruction perfectly and the frequent photo updates were such a lovely touch that kept us totally stress-free. We picked up a very happy pup and will definitely be booking Megan again!”
“Chelsea was lovely. She was cheerful and friendly and we knew that Bluey would be well looked after and have a good time. We would definitely recommend Chelsea and would gladly have her look after Bluey in the future.”
“This was our first time using Cayman and we will definitely be using her again! She was very easy to communicate with to schedule a meet and greet and was absolutely amazing with our pups for the week she had them. Thanks again for such a great experience!”
“Archie has stayed with Alix quite a few times now. This time he stayed with Alix (and Toby 🐶 ) for 2 weeks while we went away - the longest we have left him. Alix sent us lots of photos and kept us up to date with how he was doing, so we didn’t worry at all about him. He gets on so well with Toby too. He came home a very happy boy, after having a fortnight of him and Toby playing. Totally recommend Alix if you want your dog to have an enjoyable stay 🥰. Thanks Alix for looking after our boy so well. 😊”

“Jen was absolutely incredible, and I genuinely couldn’t have wished for a better person to look after my cat, Boo. From day one, she sent regular updates with the loveliest messages and lots of gorgeous photos of Boo playing, relaxing, and looking completely happy and content. Those updates gave me so much peace of mind and made being away so much easier. Jen spent time playing with her, making sure she was comfortable, and treated her as if she were her own. Seeing how relaxed and happy Boo was excellent. Jen truly went above and beyond in every way, and I can’t thank her enough for taking such wonderful care of Boo. Finding someone you can trust with your pet is priceless. I honestly won’t be booking with anyone else from now on. Thank you again! Xxx”
“This was the second time Grace has looked after my cats. As before, she was efficient and friendly. Even my shy cat Arthur put in an appearance and she sent me photographic evidence to prove it. 😸”
“Michaela was absolutely wonderful. She’s incredibly kind and warm, and our kittens took to her immediately which says everything. Her attention to detail was spot on; she followed all instructions perfectly and checked in regularly with thoughtful updates. If she was ever unsure about anything, she asked rather than guessing, which we really appreciated. We also came home to a spotless house, exactly as we left it... which, with two kittens, is no small feat. On top of all that, she’s genuinely easy to talk to and very reassuring. We wouldn’t hesitate to book her again and would recommend her without reservation.”
“Jenni is just amazing with our two little Cats, we have used her quite a few times now. It’s lovely to receive pictures of our two furry creatures and Jenni keeps us updated, would definitely recommend 🥰”

“Skye did an overnight cat sit with our cat Lilith for one night. Skye was communicative, sent photo updates and followed all instructions very well. I would recommend Skye for catsitting and would definitely rebook again. Thank you Skye!”
“Bethany was the best sitter! She sent us so many cute photos showing how happy our kittens were with her. We felt very comfortable knowing she was taking care of them, and we’d happily rebook!”

“Tania has been the most amazing cat sitter over the last couple of weeks. Words can't explain how grateful I am for her care and attention towards Mango. We arranged a meet and greet and everything clicked right away. Tania has been incredibly friendly and reliable. She has been accommodating to all of my requests, even those that were made at short notice. I highly recommend Tania and look forward to working with her again soon.”
“Charlotte was brilliant and so wonderful with Rusty, it was the first time we have left him and had someone come in to see him and let him out. Even though he was a little nervous Charlotte communicated with me straight away and encouraged him gently out into the garden for a wee and a play. Charlotte communicated with me the whole time she was with Rusty and really reassured me that he was okay! Thank you for being so lovely and brilliant with Rusty”

“Lucy looked after our cat Lilith for a weekend. We were able to meet with Lucy before the sit, which was helpful and put our minds at ease. Lucy was communicative during the sit, followed the intructions accurately, sent us photo updates, and left the house in great condition for us to come back to. I was confident leaving Lilith with Lucy and would definitely recommend this sitter.”

“It was obvious Miguel had an amazing time with Becky from the way he has been so chill coming home but also the way he was leaning against her and wanting a fuss when we were leaving! Becky was excellent at communicating on Miguel and we felt totally at ease to leave him to have a doggy daycare. Thanks so much again Becky and we will all look forward to seeing you again 🥰”
“Benji had an absolutely amazing time with Maria and her little dog. He came home very happy and tired. Maria was lovely and very caring. I would highly recommend Maria to anyone wanting a doggie minder!”
“Always a real pleasure to leave Benji with Simon and Emma. He always has a fantastic time (we get pics throughout the day) and he comes home suitably pooped and ready for a good sleep. Buddy (their pooch) is fantastic, and just an all around pleasure. Highly recommend. Is our go-to!”
“We can’t recommend Amy highly enough. She looked after our dog, Vixen, while we were away for a family funeral, and her care and warmth made all the difference. Vixen can be a little anxious, but she quickly settled in—thanks in part to Amy’s lovely dog, who was twice her size but totally gentle and got on brilliantly with her. When we returned, Vixen seemed genuinely happy and relaxed, which speaks volumes. It was clear Amy truly loves animals—she had such a calm, kind presence and treated Vixen as if she were one of her own. We’re so grateful to have found her and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful and reliable pet sitter. Thank you, Amy!”
About: I have grown up surrounded by animals - from little hamsters and bunnies to all sorts of dogs! I've got lots of experience around different sized dogs so understand their temperaments, behaviour and overall fun nature. I absolutely love dogs and taking them for woodland adventures around our home. I have a baby at home too who absolutely loves meeting new furry faces! I am relied on to look after family and friend dogs, to keep them well fed and entertained, often exhausted by the time they return home! I'm currently on maternity leave and when I return to work I will be working from home so will be highly available for both weekdays and weekends! I'm currently on maternity leave, so I have plenty of time to cater to and play with your dog! Myself and my partner take our baby out on daily walks and like to switch up the locations to give her good stimulation - these include going to fields, parks, forests and river walks - so why not have your little furry friend come along and enjoy the fun? Being on maternity leave with the ability to work from home on my return enables me to be quite available and flexible with my time. I own a 3-bedroom/3-story house with a fenced garden, so there is ample space for your little fur ball to run around and explore! Having a baby at home ensures that everything is kept clean and tidy, so your dog will have enough space for all their kit!

“Couldn’t recommend Avinash enough! Avinash looked after our girl recently, and was absolutely brilliant with her. He asked questions before meeting her to ensure he understood her needs and normal routine. You can really tell he does this because of his love and passion for dogs. We feel very content and so did our girl!”
“Thanks so much to Christian and Sarah for taking such good care of our lovely young dog Bryn. Bryn who we have adopted recently is still quite hyper and also prone to pushing limits and it was great to know he was in safe confident hands. Will certainly hope that he can come back again soon.

She clearly enjoyed spending time with Rusty, and we picked up a relaxed, calm dog so much so that Rusty even slept in this morning. I recommend Emma and I’m sure we will be using her services again.”

About: I've always adored dogs, ever since I was a child begging my parents every day for one. Dream granted when I was 10! We had a tri-coloured rough collie, and I have been infatuated ever since. I've helped family administer medication orally or via syringe to our old sausage dogs who had diabetes, walked and played with the border collie and rough collie, and currently assist with walking the elderly greyhounds in my new residence. Dogs make my day better, and I am still prone to pointing out every dog I see in public! I am currently exploring new career paths (previously working in IT for 4 years), so am currently available most days! Please reach out and ask - I can probably make it work :) There is an elderly greyhound in my new home so I cannot host any other pets at my house. In an owner's home, I would ask if there are any specific requirements for the pet(s) and make notes on this. I tend to speak a lot in a soft voice to animals that are nervous, and give them space if needed. For more outgoing pets, I can act more rambunctious and play! If they like cuddles, I'm all for that, too!

About: I've have had dogs in my life for more than 20 years. Growing up, I had four family dogs, including a rescue dog from Dogs Trust and a retired ex-racing Greyhound. Caring for dogs with different personalities, backgrounds and needs gave me a great understanding of how important patience, routine and trust are in helping dogs feel happy and secure. Alongside my love of dogs, I've always been passionate about horses. I owned and competed three horses of my own before going on to work professionally on a busy equestrian yard. This experience taught me responsibility, attention to detail and the importance of providing the highest standard of care for animals. Today, I have two Cockapoos who are at the centre of my world. Life revolves around them, from daily countryside walks and adventures to dog-friendly holidays where they join us for long walks and exploring new places. They are very much part of the family and I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else's care. One of my Cockapoos is reactive, which has given me extensive hands-on experience working with dogs who need a little extra understanding and support. I've worked closely with a number of professional dog trainers and have spent a lot of time learning about canine behaviour, body language and positive training methods. This is something I'm particularly passionate about and continue to learn more about every day. I will always treat your dog as if they were my own, ensuring they receive plenty of attention, care, exercise and affection while they're with me. As a full-time dog mum to my two Cockapoos and with a full-time job, I currently offer weekend walks and drop-in visits. This allows me to provide your dog with my full attention and care. I hope to expand my availability to weekdays in the future. Your dog's safety, happiness and wellbeing will always be my top priority. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to feel completely comfortable leaving your pet in someone else's care. I will always take the time to get to know your dog's individual needs, routine and personality to ensure they feel as relaxed and happy as possible. I have experience with dogs of different ages, breeds and temperaments, including rescue dogs and reactive dogs. Having worked closely with professional trainers to support my own reactive Cockapoo, I understand the importance of reading canine body language, maintaining safe distances when needed and ensuring every walk is tailored to the individual dog. I will always follow your instructions carefully and keep you updated with messages and photos so you can have complete peace of mind while your dog is in my care. My aim is to provide a safe, calm and caring experience where your dog feels comfortable, secure and loved.

About: Hi! My name is Ty and i’m a pet sitter (also dog whisperer on the side as i’ve been told!) I’ve had dogs my whole life and am very good with understanding body language, keeping them entertained and happy. I have looked after bigger pups such as rottweilers ans bull terriers, down to the little pups like jack russels and pugs! I am also happy with cats and small animals such as fish, lizards, rabbits etc, alongside larger animals like horses, farm animals etc. I’m happy for any requests and will do my best to accommodate you and your pets! Will send lots of updates whilst I am there and keep you fully updated with what’s going on. IMPORTANT: I do now work a roughly 24 hour work week. I will try my absolute best between me and my partner to provide care, and will let you know days/hours I am working and any times where me or my partner will not be there (so the pet will be alone.) IF you are only looking for a day or two, there’s a good chance they will not be alone. For the reason above I can no longer offer constant 24/7 care, and pets must be able to be left alone for a couple of hours on their own. Please do message me if you have any requests or questions! I only work a 24hr week, which allows plenty of time to fit in the needs of your pet/s. I have always had pets at home too and absolutely understand what they need. I offer pet sitting at your home, I will follow any instructions given no matter what they are, and can try anything you ask of me, like tricks, special requests such as specific walks, medicine, foods etc.

“Charlotte was brilliant with Rusty again, great communication and fab pictures! He always looks like he’s having a great time and Charlotte keeps me up to date and reassured that he is okay whenever she is with him. Thank you!”
About: I have been dog, cat, and house sitting since childhood! I have volunteered at SPCA and have always found or adopted my pets. I grew up with a golden retriever and several cats. My schedule is very flexible right now, as I recently relocated to bury st Edmund's. Hoping to make the most of my time by helping out others and getting to spend time with their furry family. I have spent many years caring for pets of friends and family in their homes. I've always felt that it's easier to keep them in their home where they are familiar and comfortable and I am the one who is in their space. They are already missing their parents (owners) no need to add more stress.
“Jasmine is reliable, helpful and importantly attentive to my pooches needs. William is well looked after on his walks. Having a walker is a new thing for us and I could not recommend anyone more. Thanks Jasmine!”
About: Most recently l worked for a dog sitting company and had lots of different sizes and abilities of pooches, staying with me. I am no longer able to offer boarding at my home, however l have recently started housesitting in the pets own Home, l am green fingered so can look after your plants and garden too. I want you to have peace of mind while you are away, l am very house proud and so will take good care of your home and your furry friend. I think it’s really important for you to return from your break to find your furry pals with the same behaviours and routines as you left. And they’ll have plenty of walks and cuddles whilst with me. I love to run and keep fit so if you’re pooch is able that can come too. I am currently house sitting at the moment for 3 characterful cats. I’m currently taking a break from the 9-5 so l can offer your pet all my attention, so keeping their normal schedule and plenty of belly rubs included I will care for your pets exactly how you do, hate to say it but they won’t even notice you’ve gone … that is until you return!
About: I have been around dogs since I was young, I bond with them really easily and my dog at home is my responsibility, from feeding to washing ! Currently unemployed uni graduate living at home with tonnes of spare time. We have a big big field, 1 horse and one Shetland pony! Plenty of space for playing!! Currently unemployed post grad uni student. I decided to move back home with my parents after living in London for 4 years for my mental health and dog sitting would be a great pass time! I put them play with them make sure they’re entertained clean them, feed them and make sure that they are in the house before dark (rabbits we had, but have now passed)

About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life. I grew up with family dogs and was lucky enough to own a lovely Spaniel myself, so I understand just how much our pets mean to us. I also have spent eight years working alongside working dogs in the Civil Service, which gave me great experience around dogs with different personalities, needs, and routines. Above all, I genuinely love animals and enjoy spending time with them. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the sofa, or simply having company throughout the day, I’ll make sure they feel happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work Monday to Friday and have the flexibility of working from home on certain days. However, when I agree to look after your dog, I will ensure that I am not working so that I can give them the time, attention, and care they deserve. I enjoy being active and love going on long walks, so your dog will have plenty of opportunities for exercise, enrichment, and outdoor adventures. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I have a secure, fenced garden where dogs can safely enjoy time outdoors, and I live just a 5-minute walk from a large open playing field, perfect for walks, exercise, and playtime. I take great pride in caring not only for dogs but also in maintaining a clean, safe, and welcoming home environment.
“As always, our Teddy loves staying here. The attention and love he gets, hes never unhappy and always kept upto date with photos and messages. Thanks Sarah and Paul (and Harvey ❤️) x”
“Kezia looked after our Weimeraner, Salto, and we can't recommend her enough. This was Salto's first time away and as he struggles the separation anxiety, we weren't sure how he would cope. Well we had no need to worry, Salto settled incredibly quickly and had a fantastic time, he has come home super happy and relaxed, which is better than any review I can give. Kezia kept us updated the whole weekend with plenty of photos, which we really appreciated and nothing was too much to ask. I've already started looking at more weekends away and won't hesitate to use Kezia again. Thank you! ✨”
“Everything went really well from start to finish with Dee. Doug was so happy living with his new buddy Ron that I'm not sure if he really wanted to come home. I would highly recommend.”
“Martin gives the absolute best care, a real home from home. I have such peace of mind when Pippa stays with Martin. I can really relax when away and receive regular updates and photos. I highly recommend Martin S for worry free dog care.”
“A lovely time! Excellent care. Very happy dogs. Sarah, Christian & their sweet dog Bella gave our two such a welcome. A real holiday for them both, with plenty of updates of their daily adventures. Plenty of exercise to keep our energetic spaniels content and a warmth from the family that was palpable. Thank you for such care.”
“Lubomira spoilt my Maya rotten! I was showered with photos and videos the whole time I was away to keep me at ease and let me know what she was up to! Maya thoroughly enjoyed her stay. I have already rebooked!! Thank you very much for looking after my fur baby so well :)”
“This was our first time using Cayman and we will definitely be using her again! She was very easy to communicate with to schedule a meet and greet and was absolutely amazing with our pups for the week she had them. Thanks again for such a great experience!”
“Champion and Cinnamon were very well cared for. They were happy to be with you. You were very professional and loving with the puppies. We hope to see you soon. Thank you so much for the care you gave my puppies.”
About: I have previously dog sat solidly for about two years back in London and have now moved to the countryside where I have the perfect farm set-up to give your dog a break. Theres plenty of outdoor space to explore, a fully fenced field and garden, and lots of great local walks. I do have dog-friendly children and cats as well as chickens and pigs that are fenced separately. I have had our my dogs for years but don’t currently have one. I work from home, so there’s always someone around. The back door is always open so they are very much free to roam and plenty of company when they want it. I have a large fully fenced garden with a separate fenced section within it. Theres lots of space and room to explore - it is a quiet area with no traffic or noise.
“Lloyd took great care of my lively dog Babbo, and Hudson, Lloyds dog, taught Babbo some manners as well as gave him companionship. I know my dog is in good hands with Lloyd.”
“Philip was absolutely brilliant looking after my greyhound, Coco. She came home very calm and settled after her stay. He took her on some really nice walks and sent plenty of photo updates, which was very reassuring. Philip and his wife have a lovely home and it was clear Coco felt comfortable there. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with him again and would happily recommend him to others. Thank you very much!!”
“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”
“This is the first time I have used Rover and I must say it’s a very positive experience. Kirsteen agreed to look after my two dogs for 6 days/nights, she was very a very warm, welcoming host, we went for a short walk on the drop off day so it made the handover very smooth. I received photos and a message or two most days and when I picked them up there was waggy tails and happy faces all round 🙂🐶🐶 All in all, I would highly recommend Kirsteen to look after your dogs and I would very happily leave my dogs with Kirsteen again and will do in the future.”
About: Hey! I am passionate about providing calm, reliable, and compassionate pet care. With hands-on kennel experience and years of caring for my own rescue dogs, I have a strong understanding of dogs with anxiety, reactivity, and additional care needs. I believe every dog deserves patience, love, and care that works for them as an individual. Offering dependable dog walking and drop-in visits designed to keep your pets comfortable, exercised, and happy in their own environment. I have a retired racer greyhound and a Romanian mongrel rescue and so I am very keen on looking after dogs ranging in needs and different approaches. I am happy to look after all breeds of dogs and listen to how best to take care of your dog⭐️ I work Monday-Wednesday as a Dental Nurse and am home Thursday-Sunday to offer walks and drop ins for your doggies. I can work around you and your schedule on these days to make sure your dogs are looked after and happy. I provide calm, reliable, and personalised care tailored to each pet’s individual needs and routine. In a pet owner’s home, I make sure pets feel safe and comfortable in their familiar environment by maintaining their usual feeding, walking, play, and toilet routines. I also provide companionship, enrichment, fresh water, medication if required, and regular updates for owners’ peace of mind. I will take lots and lots of photos don’t worry!🫶🏼 With experience working in kennels and caring for rescue dogs throughout my life, I am confident handling dogs with additional needs, anxiety, or reactivity. I approach every pet with patience, understanding, and positive handling to help them feel secure and relaxed. If caring for pets in my own home, I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment where pets are treated like family, with plenty of attention, exercise, rest, and one-to-one care. Obviously if they were in my home they would need to be happy to be around my two babies but as long as they’re okay mine are very friendly!
“On the basis that our two labs didn’t move for the rest of the day after we picked them up, they had obviously had a wonderful time! They are rescues and it was the first time they had stayed in an unfamiliar house without us but we came back to two very happy boys. They were clearly very well looked after and enjoyed their stay. We were kept up to date and have no hesitation in recommending Gareth and will be very happy to rebook.”
