“Pepper had a fantastic stay with simon and family whilst we were away, easy drop off, regular updates whilst away and its always great to see photos of your dog cuddled up and relaxed. Genuinely could not have been happier. I returned to a very happy dog. If I could give 10 stars I would.”

“Frances was Amazing!! Our dog Bruce had the best time. He looked immediately at home. No stress leaving him, Frances was very accommodating to his qwerks!!! Kept us updated with photos throughout his stay. Thank you 😀”
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.
“Inga and her family took fantastic care of our dog Milo! We got loads of updates and felt very reassured throughout the booking that he was being well looked after and happy. I’ll definitely be booking with Inga again!”
“Kezia was really accommodating and communicative from the intial enquiry right through to pickup. Lots of updates and photos throughout Sadie's stay and she clearly had a lovely time. We will definitely look to use Kezia again and highly recommend her.”
“Shelley was excellent at looking after Hunter for the day, she didn't mind me arriving early in morning and she took care rest! Hunter was well looked after and had an amazing time. He was well tired when he got back home :)”
“Luba took amazing care of my female German Shepherd over the three days she stayed with her. From the moment I dropped her off, I knew she was in great hands. Luba kept me updated with lots of photos and messages throughout her stay, which gave me real peace of mind. It was clear my dog was having a fantastic time and was being treated like one of the family. She looked so happy and relaxed that I honestly don't think she wanted to come home! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Luba to anyone looking for someone who genuinely loves and cares for dogs. I'll definitely be booking with her again very soon. Thank you, Luba!”
“Martin looks after Pippa whenever we go away. I trust him and know that Pip has an amazing time in the home from home environment at Martins. I cant thank or praise Martin and his family enough for the love and care they give to Pippa, and the total peace if mind this gives to me. Thank you Martin we will see you again soon.”
“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.”
“I couldn’t have hoped for better! Monica was amazing with my nervous and reactive rescue dog. She was patient and kind. He was comfortable with her in no time. Her communication was excellent and we had regular updates and pictures/video. She followed my directions to the letter. It was like my dog had a little holiday himself as Monica loved him like he was her own. Thank you so much!!!”
“Jake loved his stay with Sarah, Christian and Bella. He seemed so happy when we collected him and I think he missed having Bella to run around with when he got home. Jake being a 11 month old cocker spaniel has lots of energy and forgets sometimes he needs to rest but I’m told he settled well whilst staying with Sarah and Christian which was lovely to hear. Hopefully Jake will be back here for a stay soon 😊”
“Harrison was great with Lennon this was the first time he had been left with a sitter so was a little nervous for the first few days but he soon settled into Harrison’s home and was very happy . Highly recommend thank you !”
“Alix was a perfect sitter while we were away this weekend. Communication for drop-off/pickup was very easy, and she sent loads of photos throughout the period. One of our dogs was fixed the week prior and she followed our recovery instructions. We would definitely choose Alix again to watch our pups.”
About: My experience goes beyond simply walking and feeding. I've worked with dogs who have behavioral challenges and understand the importance of reading body language, building trust, and creating a calm, positive environment. Every dog is different, and I take the time to learn what makes each one feel safe, comfortable, and happy. Over the years, I've also cared for friends' and family's dogs during vacations and extended stays, giving them the same love, attention, and routine they receive at home. In addition, volunteering at my local Humane Society gave me hands-on experience working with dogs from many different backgrounds, temperaments, and energy levels, further strengthening my confidence and adaptability. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone you can completely trust. I know they're family, and I treat every dog in my care with the same patience, affection, and respect I'd want for my own. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or simply sticking to their routine, I'm committed to providing reliable, attentive care and making sure they feel loved while you're away. My goal isn't just to watch your dog—it's to make them feel at home and give you complete peace of mind. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I currently have a flexible schedule, allowing me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. This flexibility means I can accommodate walks, playtime, feedings, medication schedules, and lots of one-on-one companionship throughout the day. During the week, I don't have access to my own vehicle, so I primarily accept bookings that are within walking distance or accessible by public transportation. On weekends, I do have access to a car, which gives me greater flexibility for bookings that are farther away. I always communicate clearly with pet owners about availability and transportation to ensure we're a great fit before confirming a booking. No matter the day, when I'm caring for your pet, my priority is providing dependable, attentive care and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I treat every dog as if they were my own and am committed to giving them the same care and routine they're used to at home. When caring for your pet, my top priority is making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I know that every dog has their own unique routine, preferences, and personality, so I take the time to learn exactly how you care for them at home and do my best to maintain that same routine while you're away. Keeping their schedule consistent helps reduce stress and allows them to feel right at home. I treat every dog as if they were my own, giving them plenty of love, attention, playtime, and companionship throughout their stay. Whether your pup enjoys long walks, relaxing on the couch, or playing with their favorite toys, I'll make sure they receive the care and attention they deserve. f approved by you, I also love spoiling pups with healthy treats and extra enrichment. For longer stays, I enjoy taking dogs on fun adventures that match their personality and energy level, such as visits to the dog park, the beach, scenic walking trails, or other pet-friendly outings. Of course, every outing is discussed with and approved by you beforehand, and your dog's safety and comfort always come first. My goal is for your dog to feel happy, cared for, and loved while you're away—and for you to have complete peace of mind knowing they're in caring, reliable hands.
“Hi guys, sorry we didn’t get to meet as Olive was dropped off by Sarah’s mum but Olive sends her love and says she had a wonderful time. Being on a farm with 3 boys willing to throw her a ball - what’s not to like!? BTW my owners forgot to let you know that I only get 3/4 of a pack of one of the food pouches and so I was basically in total bliss. Came back and ignored my owners for the first 24 hours as they clearly have no idea how to look after a dog. X”
“Caroline’s credentials and excellent communication put me at ease right away - I usually only ever leave my wolves with friends and family (and even then, I’m particular about it!) She’s clearly a very caring, very experienced and very professional sitter and I had no anxiety at all about my two being with her over the weekend thanks to her lovely, thoughtful and thorough attitude. My dogs came home safe, happy, healthy and well cared for. I also appreciated all the beautiful pictures while I was away! I would not hesitate to recommend her and will certainly be doing so myself again. Thank you so much for looking after my floofs x”
“Lloyd was so communicative and Rory had a great time with him and Hudson! Lots of walks to open fields and she came home happy and tuckered out! So so happy with Rory’s care during her time with Lloyd.”

“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.”
“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”
“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 🥰”
“Emma was very professional and sent updates after every visit with some lovely photos. I felt much better at leaving my cat for the first time. Would definitely recommend her services and will be booking with her again.”
“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. 😸”

About: I have had a cat almost every year of my life since being born. They hold a very special place in my heart. I have taken care of both my own cats as well as friends and family pets for up to two weeks at a time. I love to play, pet and care for all types of cats. Have volunteered with SPCA.
“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!”
“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”

“Paula was so very kind and caring towards our cat and helped very much even when he was unwell. She kept in touch and sent pictures and videos of him. We were so grateful to have her here with him for peace of mind. She even cleaned the house before leaving which was so thoughtful. We will definitely use her again in the future.”

“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 🥰”
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.
“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!

About: I’ve owned household pets (such as dogs, cats, rabbits and even parrots) my entire life. I run a small livery yard. I’m also a qualified equine and canine sports massage therapist. I’m currently qualifying as a human sports massage therapist after being made redundant from my corporate job in January, so my days are very flexible currently. I attend to my cats, horses and donkeys daily. I have two cats at my home but at my parents house, we have 3 friendly dogs (two Scottie’s and a spaniel). We have a large fenced garden as well as 7 acres of fenced paddocks for the dogs to run and play in.
“Dougie had a great time with Frances. He came home very content and sleepy so I’m sure he had a great day. Frances was amazing with communication as well - won’t hesitate to use again!”
“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!”
“Mark provided an outstanding level of care for Mabel. We had a meet a greet prior to her first booking to familiarise her with Mark and his home during which we were able to talk through Mabel’s needs and she can be anxious. Mark has a clear understanding of dogs and it was remarkable to she how Mabel responded to Mark so quickly - he has special doggy powers! Could not recommend more highly - a absolute gem to have found”
About: There has never not been an animal in my life. I’m a big dog lover and absolutely adore spending time with them. My childhood was spent predominantly around Alsatians and now have a gorgeous spaniel. I have volunteered at local puppy classes over the last year from which I gained invaluable experience for the development of my puppy. I am a nurse and work predominantly Monday to Wednesday. Thursday to Sunday I have a lot of flexibility for drop ins, walks and or boarding. I am happy to do local walks or just cuddles and attention. I aim to provide a personalised service and happy to discuss specific needs/requests. I have a gorgeous working cocker spaniel. We have crate trained him from the beginning and he is very well behaved with an incredible temperament. We attended several puppy classes and have been consistent with his routine.
“Forest has had a wonderful day. I am so thankful I found Shelley on here. She has kept me updated with photo's and messages all day. Will most definitely be using her again. I have a feeling he will be sleeping well tonight ?”
About: I have been around dogs my entire life quite literally, my first present as a newborn straight out of hospital was a gorgeous black ball of fur aka Tyson a German shepherd puppy and from that day on we were inseparable…. Needless to say now gsd’s are my favorite breed and will always be my favorite butttt and that’s a very big but all dogs of all shapes and sizes hold a special place in my heart. I get on with dogs better then I do humans forming special bonds and an instant attachment to any dog I lay eyes on. I can’t go anywhere without stopping whoever has a dog and asking them if I can make a fuss of them so I thought I would put this love or obsession whatever you like to call it to good use and help others and welcome your dogs into my home where they will be loved like my own and part of our pack… I am currently a stay at home mum who is looking for an extra income to contribute more to my household and my family? So I have availability pretty much all day every day from 10 AM up until 2 o’clock I am free and from 4:30 till whenever you need I am free. I will have my children with me if you are happy with that I have a baby and a toddler that don’t go to school yet if it’s at the weekend, then I will be Child free. This does not affect my ability to do my job as I have pets myself and I look after them with my children. If your dogs are other dog friendly, I’m happy for your dogs to join us, if not that’s ok too I can take them separately. I have two dogs myself who are more than happy to keep your dogs company. I can crate your dog for safety, If it is needed I have a garden and children that would love to play with your dogs if your dogs are at my home or you are happy for my children to play with your dogs then my toddler is more than happy to if my other two are at school. I have plenty of fans in my house for this hot weather and they are on all the time. If your dog is at my home, there is freshwater everywhere in my home. I have no rules in my house for dogs, being toilet trained is preferred but if your dog is old incontinent or still a puppy, it is absolutely fine. I have hardwood floors and dogs have accidents happen. It’s easily cleaned up. Your dog will be more than at home here they’ll be allowed up on the sofas in our garden.
“This was our first time using Emma, and her location is very convenient for us. Emma was very personable, calm, and efficient. 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.”
“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. Thanks!”
“Thank you Milly for taking care of our furbabies for doggie day care for the first time. Milly gave great direction for home stay and the car park. Brilliant communication throughout the process. Giving excellent update, activities and photos.”

“Rebecca responded really quickly to say she could help, despite me leaving it fairly last minute to book. She came to visit the dogs the day before and get to know them and got my timid rescue to have cuddles with her. Would recommend”
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!
“Alan was great with my dog Winnie! He met her prior, was kind and patient as she can be shy, kept me updated, and sent adorable pictures of Winnie and his dog Poppy on their walk. Highly recommend!”

“Jane B. has been walking my Chocolate Brown Labrador puppy, Willow (10 months old), for a few weeks now, and it has been a huge help. Knowing that while I’m at work, Willow is being visited and walked around the neighbourhood by a friendly, familiar face gives me great peace of mind. From their very first introduction, Jane and Willow bonded well, and Jane has been wonderful in offering useful tips and advice along the way. Jane is a complete professional and I trust her 100% with Willow. It’s already clear that Willow looks forward to her walks with Jane, and is benefitting from them, which makes for an enjoyable experience for both of them.”
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.
About: I’ve had dogs in my home my entire life and have always been actively involved in their daily care. Growing up with dogs taught me not just how to love them, but how to understand their needs, routines, and personalities. Whether your dog is high-energy and playful or prefers quiet cuddles, I’m patient, responsible, and genuinely love spending time with animals. I treat every dog like part of the family. I work full-time, but my hours are slightly flexible and depending on location I am able to leave at lunch for a drop-in, my weekends are also very flexible. When caring for pets, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent, comfortable, and stress-free as possible. I understand that pets feel safest when their schedule stays familiar, so I carefully follow feeding times and any specific care guidelines provided.
About: I’ve grown up around a range of different animals and have my own Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and British Shorthair cat, so I understand caring for both playful puppies/ kittens and also older dogs/ cats needing gentle handling. I’ve walked and dog sat for family and friends, and I also cared for dogs in a shelter abroad, helping with feeding, cleaning, and exercise so i am very comfortable with a lot of different temperaments and breeds and always ensure they feel safe, loved and well cared for. I hold level 2 qualifications in Animal Nursing, Animal Management and Dog Grooming, and level 3 Dog Grooming.i also have experience working in a mobile zoo with a range of different animals so im comfortable with a lot of different animals and will be happy to take care of any extra pets in your home. ⚠️⚠️⚠️ I offer a 30 mile radius from both Stowmarket Suffolk or Diss Norfolk (as i live at both) for house sitting and overnight care, but for shorter services like dog walking and drop-ins, I prioritise local bookings around a 15 mile radius to keep travel time fair and affordable. Please feel free to message me !! I’m very happy to discuss and see if I can help Pet care fits well around my weekly routine. I currently offer late evening after my job ( i finish around 4-6) but mainly weekends, friday’s and overnight services, i also have i enjoy caring for animals and look forward to making more time for pet sitting, walking and grooming 🖤 I treat every pet in my care as if they were my own with lots of love, patience and attention to their individual needs. I’m mindful of routines, dietary needs, and preferences, and I take time to build trust with each animal so they feel comfortable and secure. I have experience with a wide range of animals, from energetic dogs and nervous pups to cats, small animals like gerbils and hamsters, reptiles, and even bigger animals like horses and donkeys . I understand that every pet has a unique personality and will adapt my approach based on their behaviour and body language.Also i love taking pictures so you’ll always have updates with photos and peace of mind while your pet is with me.

“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'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.

“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: I have taken care of friend’s dogs for years and had the joy of getting my own last year. I’ve also tried to be helpful to local organisations when I can. I’m currently working self employed so I’m happy to discuss days. Plus free all day on Mondays and Tuesdays. Looking forward to working with owners on a schedule that works best for us both. I have a fenced yard for my dog Eko at home and a big enough garden for her to run around in. I won’t be taking dog’s back to my house but wanted to let you know the situation there.

“I've never left my lab with anyone before apart from family, so I was quite nervous leaving her with someone I didn't know. However, Frances was fantastic from the start. Excellent communication and most importantly took great care of Luna. Will be booking again. Thank you again Frances 😊”
About: Hi, I'm Tavia! I have grown up in Suffolk with labradors and previously owned my own small dog. I have also lived with a very sweet doberman! I frequently look after dogs for family and friends and happy to look after more! Happy to give as many walks and cuddles as required. I work from home a few days of the week so I am able to be relatively flexible to suit your needs. I can go for walks throughout the day and there is also a fenced garden for your dog to enjoy as well as space to roam indoors. My home has zero pets so there is no need to worry about other pets in the house. Please feel free to message me about any requests.
About: I’ve had dogs all my life I like all pets and just love messing/playing with them going on walks I have experience with different types of animals small and big Currently on the hunt for a job so taking care of any dog would help I currently have a hamster at home but that it I follow all instructions from the owner if I’m not sure I will generally ask the owner or look it up I would never want to put a animal in danger

“Pepper had a fantastic stay with simon and family whilst we were away, easy drop off, regular updates whilst away and its always great to see photos of your dog cuddled up and relaxed. Genuinely could not have been happier. I returned to a very happy dog. If I could give 10 stars I would.”
“Teddy has an another amazing holiday with Paul and Sarah (as always). Amazing couple, always kept updated and knows Teddy very well 😆 🤣. Would definitely recommend 💯 %. Thanks guys ❤️”
“Kezia was really accommodating and communicative from the intial enquiry right through to pickup. Lots of updates and photos throughout Sadie's stay and she clearly had a lovely time. We will definitely look to use Kezia again and highly recommend her.”
“Luba took amazing care of my female German Shepherd over the three days she stayed with her. From the moment I dropped her off, I knew she was in great hands. Luba kept me updated with lots of photos and messages throughout her stay, which gave me real peace of mind. It was clear my dog was having a fantastic time and was being treated like one of the family. She looked so happy and relaxed that I honestly don't think she wanted to come home! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Luba to anyone looking for someone who genuinely loves and cares for dogs. I'll definitely be booking with her again very soon. Thank you, Luba!”
“Martin looks after Pippa whenever we go away. I trust him and know that Pip has an amazing time in the home from home environment at Martins. I cant thank or praise Martin and his family enough for the love and care they give to Pippa, and the total peace if mind this gives to me. Thank you Martin we will see you again soon.”
“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.”
“Jake loved his stay with Sarah, Christian and Bella. He seemed so happy when we collected him and I think he missed having Bella to run around with when he got home. Jake being a 11 month old cocker spaniel has lots of energy and forgets sometimes he needs to rest but I’m told he settled well whilst staying with Sarah and Christian which was lovely to hear. Hopefully Jake will be back here for a stay soon 😊”
“Harrison was great with Lennon this was the first time he had been left with a sitter so was a little nervous for the first few days but he soon settled into Harrison’s home and was very happy . Highly recommend thank you !”
About: My experience goes beyond simply walking and feeding. I've worked with dogs who have behavioral challenges and understand the importance of reading body language, building trust, and creating a calm, positive environment. Every dog is different, and I take the time to learn what makes each one feel safe, comfortable, and happy. Over the years, I've also cared for friends' and family's dogs during vacations and extended stays, giving them the same love, attention, and routine they receive at home. In addition, volunteering at my local Humane Society gave me hands-on experience working with dogs from many different backgrounds, temperaments, and energy levels, further strengthening my confidence and adaptability. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone you can completely trust. I know they're family, and I treat every dog in my care with the same patience, affection, and respect I'd want for my own. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or simply sticking to their routine, I'm committed to providing reliable, attentive care and making sure they feel loved while you're away. My goal isn't just to watch your dog—it's to make them feel at home and give you complete peace of mind. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I currently have a flexible schedule, allowing me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. This flexibility means I can accommodate walks, playtime, feedings, medication schedules, and lots of one-on-one companionship throughout the day. During the week, I don't have access to my own vehicle, so I primarily accept bookings that are within walking distance or accessible by public transportation. On weekends, I do have access to a car, which gives me greater flexibility for bookings that are farther away. I always communicate clearly with pet owners about availability and transportation to ensure we're a great fit before confirming a booking. No matter the day, when I'm caring for your pet, my priority is providing dependable, attentive care and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I treat every dog as if they were my own and am committed to giving them the same care and routine they're used to at home. When caring for your pet, my top priority is making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I know that every dog has their own unique routine, preferences, and personality, so I take the time to learn exactly how you care for them at home and do my best to maintain that same routine while you're away. Keeping their schedule consistent helps reduce stress and allows them to feel right at home. I treat every dog as if they were my own, giving them plenty of love, attention, playtime, and companionship throughout their stay. Whether your pup enjoys long walks, relaxing on the couch, or playing with their favorite toys, I'll make sure they receive the care and attention they deserve. f approved by you, I also love spoiling pups with healthy treats and extra enrichment. For longer stays, I enjoy taking dogs on fun adventures that match their personality and energy level, such as visits to the dog park, the beach, scenic walking trails, or other pet-friendly outings. Of course, every outing is discussed with and approved by you beforehand, and your dog's safety and comfort always come first. My goal is for your dog to feel happy, cared for, and loved while you're away—and for you to have complete peace of mind knowing they're in caring, reliable hands.
“Hi guys, sorry we didn’t get to meet as Olive was dropped off by Sarah’s mum but Olive sends her love and says she had a wonderful time. Being on a farm with 3 boys willing to throw her a ball - what’s not to like!? BTW my owners forgot to let you know that I only get 3/4 of a pack of one of the food pouches and so I was basically in total bliss. Came back and ignored my owners for the first 24 hours as they clearly have no idea how to look after a dog. X”
“Caroline’s credentials and excellent communication put me at ease right away - I usually only ever leave my wolves with friends and family (and even then, I’m particular about it!) She’s clearly a very caring, very experienced and very professional sitter and I had no anxiety at all about my two being with her over the weekend thanks to her lovely, thoughtful and thorough attitude. My dogs came home safe, happy, healthy and well cared for. I also appreciated all the beautiful pictures while I was away! I would not hesitate to recommend her and will certainly be doing so myself again. Thank you so much for looking after my floofs x”
“Lloyd was so communicative and Rory had a great time with him and Hudson! Lots of walks to open fields and she came home happy and tuckered out! So so happy with Rory’s care during her time with Lloyd.”
About: I have been around dogs my entire life quite literally, my first present as a newborn straight out of hospital was a gorgeous black ball of fur aka Tyson a German shepherd puppy and from that day on we were inseparable…. Needless to say now gsd’s are my favorite breed and will always be my favorite butttt and that’s a very big but all dogs of all shapes and sizes hold a special place in my heart. I get on with dogs better then I do humans forming special bonds and an instant attachment to any dog I lay eyes on. I can’t go anywhere without stopping whoever has a dog and asking them if I can make a fuss of them so I thought I would put this love or obsession whatever you like to call it to good use and help others and welcome your dogs into my home where they will be loved like my own and part of our pack… I am currently a stay at home mum who is looking for an extra income to contribute more to my household and my family? So I have availability pretty much all day every day from 10 AM up until 2 o’clock I am free and from 4:30 till whenever you need I am free. I will have my children with me if you are happy with that I have a baby and a toddler that don’t go to school yet if it’s at the weekend, then I will be Child free. This does not affect my ability to do my job as I have pets myself and I look after them with my children. If your dogs are other dog friendly, I’m happy for your dogs to join us, if not that’s ok too I can take them separately. I have two dogs myself who are more than happy to keep your dogs company. I can crate your dog for safety, If it is needed I have a garden and children that would love to play with your dogs if your dogs are at my home or you are happy for my children to play with your dogs then my toddler is more than happy to if my other two are at school. I have plenty of fans in my house for this hot weather and they are on all the time. If your dog is at my home, there is freshwater everywhere in my home. I have no rules in my house for dogs, being toilet trained is preferred but if your dog is old incontinent or still a puppy, it is absolutely fine. I have hardwood floors and dogs have accidents happen. It’s easily cleaned up. Your dog will be more than at home here they’ll be allowed up on the sofas in our garden.
“100% recommend! Lovely couple and amazing with our dog! Always in contact to let us know how she was and treated her like their own. Can’t thank them enough! Already booked our dog to stay with them for our next holiday. Thank you so much!”
“Bear had a really good 2 week stay with Shane. We got plenty of photos and updates while he was there. Bear was made completely at home and very much enjoyed having a secure garden to run around in.”
“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.”
“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!”
