“Sarah is amazing. Cooper settled straight in and adores Sarah. Sarah was brilliant at sending updates. I felt very comfortable with leaving Cooper in the knowledge he was well looked after. He made new friends and will miss them (until the next time!) I would highly recommend Sarah.”
“Winnie had another fantastic stay with Catherine and her family. We were kept updated with how Winnie was during her stay and knew she was receiving the best care while we were away.”
“Our pup is only 4 months old so still a bit unhinged with lots of energy to burn but Jas was absolutely fantastic with him. It was our first time leaving Neo but as soon as he met Jas my mind was at ease, was so happy to see how well they got on. Jas is really personable guy and we would leave Neo with him again with no hesitation, in fact he's already booked in for his next stay 🙂”
“This was the first time Shelley and Dave had looked after Mowbray and it went really well. They were very communicative, sending us lots of pictures and updates and also asked the right questions about how to look after him. Mowbray was very tired when he got home which is a good sign for us! :)”
“Humphrey had another great stay with Nathalie and her family. Nathalie sends lovely updates and photos and he has a great time. Thanks Nathalie.. it’s great knowing he’s well cared for . 👍”
“This was the first time that we had left Freyja with Fiona and I’m so glad we did! Freyja had a wonderful weekend and Fiona was so good at sending us pictures and updates. I will definitely book for Freyja to stay again - thanks so much Fiona!!”
“Kellie and Andy were great and our black lab Alfie absolutely loved his time with them. They were very quick to reply and also asked questions to understand what Alfie needs in order to take best care of him. We got daily updates which were lovely - Alfie seemed so happy. It went so well that we’ve rebooked for our little boy to stay with them again. Would definitely recommend them, they are lovely 🐾 ♥️”
“Murphy had a fabulous time, Corinne very much put us at ease and sent us lots of fabulous photos of him looking very relaxed in her home . Thank you for looking after him so wonderfully x”
“This is my 4th review, I included more detail previously, but at this point, I’d just say that, Lauren and Matt’s place is Brooklyn’s (my dog’s) second home. Simply the best!”
“Winnie has had such a fun time. Angelika has a great set up in her home with sleeping and resting space and a garden for a good run. Angelika sent us lots of updates and videos which helped us to know Winnie was being well looked after and we should not have any worries. Winnie got on well with Angelika's dog Oli and the other dogs that came to play on different days. I think she had a lot of fun and we'll definitely use Angelika's services again.”
“Jess is very calm, friendly and easy going. She was happy to accommodate our earlier drop off and late pick up the next day and was great about helping to settle Fin in as it was his first stay at her place. Fin was very happy when I picked him up. Will definitely be using Jess again and would highly recommend.”
“We asked Rajat , to mind our cat for two weeks during holiday there was no way we could bring her with us , then Rajat was like family to her, he has a high sense of responsibility and respect for animals like no other , he was informing us daily about our cat reassuring us at any time , I would highly recommend him .”
About: I’ve had pets since I can remember and have always had a dog in the family home. My partner Declan and I are the go-to dog sitters for our friends and families, looking after dogs of all shapes and sizes from cuddly cockapoos to energetic springer spaniels! My family dog was a rescue and so I’m familiar dealing with dogs who are anxious on the lead/need a little more care than some others. We live in an apartment and are unable to get our own permanent dog just yet, but love taking care of other people’s to fill the puppy shaped hole! As we are in an apartment however we’re unable to take on any pets that aren’t fully toilet trained. We understand the value of routine and love to take care of every dog as though they were our own, with long walks both in town and through the surrounding countryside. Your dog will feel safe and at home with us, and you’ll get regular pup-dates so you can be sure they’re enjoying their stay! I work from the office two days per week but can be flexible with this to accommodate mid-week bookings. I’m available for boarding on weekends and weekdays after 5pm. We have an outside area for bathroom breaks and your dog will be supervised whenever they are outside. We love cuddles on the sofa but do ask for medium/large dogs to sleep on their own bed rather than sharing ours!
“Sue and James were incredible looking after our pug, Loki. They kept in contact with us regularly while we were away on holiday, sending us photos and videos and giving us updates on how Loki was doing. They also have two beautiful dogs, who have a lovely temperament, which I am sure helped to put Loki at ease. Highly recommend!”
“Jennifer was brilliant whilst my family and I were on Holiday! My dog had never been left alone with anyone else before and after a couple of days felt right at home. Nice to get regular updates with short videos. I would absolutely recommend and I will only be using Jenn moving forwards. 😁”
About: I've owned dogs all my adult life. I recently lost my beloved Cavachon Winnie and feel this is the right time to become a sitter. I miss the company of having a dog and feel this is the ideal solution I'm retired so your pet will fit into my routine easily. I have a huge park literally across the road where I take your dog for a good run or leisurely walk My house is dog friendly in every aspect. The garden is fully enclosed. If you dog sleeps on the bed they sleep with me. If your dog is allowed on the sofa he's allowed on mine. Home from home is my home
“Alessia provided a very nice and warm stay for our Bean! Providing her all the care and love that she needs. Giving us constant updates and great pictures we were very happy on how chilled it was and how easy everything went. 100% happy and totally thankful.”

“Sam is the best! She has looked after our cats now many times and her care of them (and us!) has been consistently fantastic. Twice daily updates are so reassuring. We know they are in safe hands and I can't recommend her enough ”
“Inga did a wonderful job looking after our two boys, she even managed to make friends with the notoriously anti-social Rudi! She provided twice daily updates and photos while we were away and was an absolute joy to deal with. We cannot recommend Inga highly enough and will definitely be trusting her to look after our two again.”
“Sophie was brilliant our cat Nutmeg, we got detailed updates and lots of photos after every visit. Sounds like Nutmeg enjoyed lots of fuss and play. She even took our bins out for us and watered the plants! We definitely recommend and will book again! 😊”
“This was our first time leaving the cats for the weekend. Cheryl was amazing and took the time to meet with us beforehand and say hello to Penny and Oscar. Whilst we were away Cheryl sent updates everyday with pictures and really put us at ease. Thanks so much, we’ll definitely be using Cheryl again.”
“Holly was absolutely brilliant with Rocky, he seemed so happy and well cared for and she was very generous with her attention for him. So reassuring for us while we were away.”
“This is the second cat sit Suzanna has done for us and she has been amazing! My 3 cats are really comfortable around her - even my most shy one coming to say hello! Suzanna even went above and beyond and popped our bins out for us and did a get hoover before we came home. Thank you so much for looking after the girls! ”
“Amelia and Miles are lovely and Miles definitely has the magic touch, Oreo came right up to him to say hello the first time she met him, instead of hiding like she usually does! Oreo was well looked after.”
About: I've taken care of and trained dogs my entire life. I got a rescue cat 3 years ago because I didn't have time for a dog. It turns out that I love cats! I am learning more and more about them just from my boy Mr. Theo who is the greatest.
“Very professional. Sent lots of nice photos and videos and kept me informed throughout the day. Took the weather and time alone for Sandy into consideration. He was super calm and happy when I returned.”
About: For the past two years, I have been the primary caregiver for my 5-year-old domestic shorthair cat. I manage all aspects of their daily care, including feeding, cleaning litter trays, playtime, grooming, monitoring health and behaviour, and ensuring they feel safe and comfortable. Living with a cat has taught me how to respect feline boundaries, recognise their needs, and build trust through patience and consistency
About: I have grown up with pets my whole life, from hamsters to cats, and more recently I grew up with two lovely black labradors - Charley and Flo. Flo is still bouncing around at the age of 12 and does come for a sleepover now and then, but I do miss having dogs around so am keen to share my love for animals with others. Whether its a walk around the block or staying over I would love to help out. I fit my schedule around what is best for your dog as I know many have their preferred routine. Whether that’s walking at certain times or eating at 3pm on the dot! Your dog will feel like it is at home. With toilet breaks around the clock and being played with to keep them entertained along with lovely long walks in the local green spaces, I will do my utmost best to make sure they are happy.
“Alex is wonderful! She was so attentive and caring with our Labrador and took the time to meet us before hand to talk through what we needed and ti meet Parker. We will absolutely Alex again. 😊”
About: I’ve had animals my whole life, which has taught me to how to adapt to the different needs of each breed/species! I‘ve always helped my family and friends with dog walking and have worked as a receptionist at a vets, meaning I come into contact with a large range of breeds daily! I spend everyday with my own animals and from 29th May 2026 I’ll be around to help Monday-Sunday! I’m an early riser and have a friendly Cocker Spaniel of my own if you want your dog to interact with mine! I like to be told the needs and wants from owners and their furry friends to make sure the visit/walk is as helpful as it can be!
“Corinne was absolutely fantastic, clearly a dog lover and we felt very happy leaving our pup in her very capable hands. Definitely will use for the future without hesitation. Thank you Corinne.”
About: I am currently on maternity leave so have the time to spend with your furry babies! Cats are my favourite animal and I have my own fluffy rescue girl called Binky. I can’t walk past a cat in the street without kneeling down and psst pssting them for a cuddle. Cats often have boundaries and I enjoy the challenge of gaining their trust bit by bit.

“Fiona and her family are brilliant dog sitters. Brilliant comms, and really friendly. Paddy had a brilliant time in a lovely and secured home. He came back tired and happy! Couldn’t recommend more!”

He had the best day 🐶 🐾 ❤️”
About: Pet Care Experience I’ve always loved animals and have years of experience caring for dogs of all ages and personalities. Whether it’s a playful puppy or a gentle senior, I take the time to understand each dog’s routine, quirks, and needs. What sets me apart is my calm, caring approach — I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m attentive to details, patient with shy or anxious dogs, and make sure each one feels safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. Pet care is a regular part of my week — I love starting and ending my days with walks, playtime, and cuddles. I plan my schedule around the pets I look after to make sure they get my full attention and consistent care. Whether it’s daily walks, drop-ins, or weekend stays, I always make time to keep each pet’s routine as normal and happy as possible. When pets stay with me, they’re treated like part of the family. I make sure they have a comfortable space to relax, regular walks, and plenty of attention and affection. I follow each pet’s usual routine — feeding times, walks, and any special needs — to help them feel settled and secure. I keep my home clean, calm, and pet-friendly, with safe areas for play and rest. Whether it’s cuddles on the sofa or fun in the garden, I make sure every pet feels loved and cared for while they’re here.
“Porridge seemed like he had a great day with Polly and Maisie. We had a little meet and greet before to make sure they’d be ok together - pick up and drop off were super easy. Thanks Polly!”
“Another great day for Rufus with Shelley and Dave, he was so happy when I picked him up and had been on a lovely walk with them. Very happy to have found them on rover as I know he’s in safe hands ❤️”

About: I’ve had years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, including owning our Boxer for 12 wonderful years. I’ve also helped family and friends when they have required any pet sitting while at work or away on holiday. I’m comfortable with daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, and giving dogs plenty of love, attention, and companionship to help them feel safe, happy, and settled while in my care. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine as I’m home every day apart from the school drop off and pick up. This means your dog will have plenty of company, attention, care, and regular toilet breaks throughout the day rather than being left alone for long periods. I enjoy getting out for walks and spending quality time with dogs, so they’ll be treated as part of the family and included in day-to-day life with lots of love and companionship. Your dog’s safety and comfort will always come first. I have a loving family home with a fully fenced garden, including both patio and grass areas, and no free roaming animals. As I’m home all day, your dog will have plenty of supervision, attention, and care, and I’ll always follow your routines and instructions to help them feel safe, settled, and happy.
About: Growing up surrounded by a menagerie of pets: dogs, cats, rabbits, parrots and a lizard, I have been caring for animals for over 30 years and feel that a home isn't really a home without a furry companion. Owning various pets over the years has results in me being confident in animal care and behaviour. I lead an active life and have run with, climbed mountains and trained from a puppy our working cocker spaniel, who even in old age was mistaken for a puppy! Most recently, I have supported the rehabilitation of a stray Lurcher which came into our care. Teaching her how to live in a home and learn commands and what a toy was, has been extremely rewarding. If your pet has boundless energy or is timid, old or young, this is not a problem and I can easily adapt and prioritise your pet's individual needs. There are woods and many walks in my local area and I am also close to secure dog parks if this forms part of your pets routine. Muddy boots and paws welcome! At a glance, I can offer: * 35 years plus experience * a focus on enrichment and providing a safe environment * confident to administer basic oral medication - easy access to veterinary support * experience of working with dogs of different temperaments * happy to also feed and care for other small pets * Available 24/7 during school holidays * up to date Pet sitting insurance Perfect for all your school holiday, evening and weekend needs! I currently work full-time as a teacher. This allows me to have weekends totally free 24/7. I can be available from 3:30pm weekdays and possibly lunchtimes if you live locally to my work. I am able to take at short notice so please just ask. During the school holiday ( Christmas, Easter, Summer and half terms) I am available 24/7 I recommend a meet and great prior to the booking to discuss the individual needs of your pet. It would be great to know commands and favourite toys etc so I can fully engage with your dog and they can be at ease. On walks, I will always keep your dog on a lead and avoid other dogs unless you are able to inform me of any doggy friends your pet has. Due to my current employment I am DBS checked and offer a trusted and reliable service.
About: I am currently on maternity leave so have the time to spend with your furry babies! Cats are my favourite animal and I have my own fluffy girl called Binky. I can’t walk past a cat in the street without kneeling down and psst pssting them for a cuddle. I have experience caring for dogs and frequently help out friends with drop ins and dog walks when needed. Your doggy can expect countryside walks and lots of fuss and attention. I’m currently on maternity leave so have a lot free time to care for your furry babies! I already spend a lot of time out walking so it would be great to have a furry companion and explore some different areas. I’m available for one off bookings or longer term arrangements depending on what you need. I will follow the instructions you provide and take the time to earn your pets trust inside and out of your home. I’ll provide updates and ensure clear communication of any issues.
“Lydia really took the time to understand our dog's need and likes. She seemed really chilled at Lydia's house & we had a few pictures & messages throughout the day so we knew she was happy & well cared for....”
About: We live in a lovely quiet village and have walks from the back of our garden. I absolutely love dogs and now have more time to devote to other dogs..We have 2 extremely gentle and friendly Golden Retrievers who love walks in the Countryside and we have bred dogs so have many years experience with young and old dogs. Any dog staying with us will have 2 walks a day and one of us at hand all the time. One of our dogs is a Therapy dog and I have had previous therapy dogs, proving that I have a lot of training experience with dogs. We are around virtually all the time between us, in the day and evenings and weekends. They would fit in to our dogs routine of walks and meals We have a totally secure fenced garden looking out onto open fields in our rural setting here in our village near Baldock, Letchworth and Stevenage. They will have full run of downstairs and our secured garden.
About: I’m a pet sister from Hong Kong, now living in the UK for the third year. I moved here with my four cats, who are now 6 to 7 years old. After settling down, I adopted a 1.5-year-old Border Collie. I truly love all my pets—they’re my family. Pet care is a big part of my daily life—it’s not just a job, it’s something I truly enjoy. Every day, I plan my schedule around the needs of the pets I care for, whether it’s morning and evening drop-in visits, regular walks, or spending quality time with my own pets at home. I make sure to stay organized so that each pet receives the attention, exercise, and care they need. Being around animals brings me joy and keeps me active, so I always look forward to every visit or walk. When providing drop-in visits or dog walking services, I always make sure pets feel safe, loved, and respected in their own environment. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions, whether it’s feeding, cleaning, giving medication, or following a specific walking route or routine. I take time to build trust with each pet, using calm energy and gentle care so they feel comfortable around me. During walks, I stay alert and prioritize their safety at all times—avoiding busy roads, checking their body language, and ensuring they’re always on-leash unless instructed otherwise. I treat every pet like family, and always keep owners updated with messages and photos so they know their furry friend is in good hands.
“Shakira had the best day with Elena. Walking, swimming, meeting other dogs, lunch outdoors, visiting horses. Elena kept her physically and mentally stimulated. She sent loads of pictures and videos throughout the day and she has taken the greatest care of my fur baby. I would definitely recommend Elena! Thumbs up!”
About: Hey I’m Millie from Hitchin. I run my own fitness coaching business full time so I have total control over my own diary, flexibility and love anything fitness and wellbeing related including spending time outdoors and doing lots of steps! I often break up my days getting out and moving anyway so would love some company for walks. If there’s one thing for sure I’ll make sure your dog gets a great bit of exercise and has fun! I’ve got experience in looking after a lot of different breeds including cocka/cavapoo, spaniels, labradors, golden retriever, Doberman and some cross breeds too! I’ve got a soft spot for Labradors as I grew up with them! I look forward to looking after some more lovely dogs along the way until I get one of my own one day! I work from home full time so I am in control of my own diary and can be flexible, I walk a lot anyway no matter if it’s rain or shine as it’s great for your mind and body and I love the outdoors. I am used to feeding, giving dinner or lunch after walks if needed, rinsing or towelling them down after a swim and getting them back in the crate if needed to make sure they are settled. Happy to access via a lock box or key provided.
“I can't recommend Alessia enough for dog sitting! She took exceptional care of my Ralph during his first daycare with her. Her warm demeanor and genuine love for dogs made me feel at ease. Ralph came back happy and well-adjusted, which speaks volumes about her attention to detail and affection. I’ll definitely be booking her again for future dog sitting! 5 stars all around! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs as well as now owning two of my own who are about to turn 5 and 2 in January. I currently have a standard dachshund and an English bull terrier. When I was younger and living with parents we had two Viszlas, and later on a large Munsterlander who I still take care of sometimes. I have plenty of experience with a range of dogs personality and size wise. I am long haul cabin crew but am currently grounded / not fit to fly so can be available pretty much every day and time convenient. If doing drop in visits at your home I would be sure to stick to exact routines laid out by you to make your pet feel at ease.
“Anna has been walking Ollie regularly for a few months now and he always has the best time. He is the most excited dog in the world whenever he sees Anna at the door! Anna is fantastic, very reliable and keeps in touch. She has also had Ollie to board as we knew he would love to spend more time with her.”
About: I have grown up around my family and friend’s pets, however never had the chance to have my own unfortunately. I have experience pet sitting for up to 2 weeks for dogs and cats I have graduated from university and have been travelling! I am currently working before i do some more travelling next year! I work part time so defiantly have time to help! I am very responsible, wouldn’t take any risks with your fur baby. Will do what is asked of me safely and give some extra cuddles
“Henry was great. Friendly and flexible. Sent loads of information and pictures of their walks. Worked on some training skills too. Capably handheld our dog who has reactivity issues. Would recommend and definitely use him again.”
About: I have spent my whole life around dogs and have in-depth experience in particular with terrier breeds, including their training and behavioural needs. I also have experience training pups both at home and at classes. I specifically have experience with: puppies, rescues, reactive, aged and muzzled dogs. I like to give dogs the best environment possible and cater to their needs, whether that be mental or physical stimulation, hugs and cuddles, their own individual space, training or companionship. Dogs are just as individual as us and no two dogs are the same. I am an outdoorsy person and live incredibly close to beautiful countryside so can provide some great walks. I am currently without a dog but this may change in the future when myself and my partner are ready to add to our little unit permanently. I also sometimes care for my family dog who is friendly and great with other dogs, should you ever want your dog to have a playmate. I have general availability on afternoons/evenings and weekends. I work full time but am also able to take occasional WFH days each week as and when, so I can build any walks or sitting needs/requests around this. I have: a fenced in garden with a 6ft gate (mix of grass and patio), currently a large sized dog crate, dog beds, blankets, toys, bowls, spare leads (including 10m long lead for recall training), spare collars, ball thrower and food. I also have a dog whistle should your dog be trained to one. My car has two doggy seatbelts and the back seats have a full cover over them. I will shortly also be looking to do a dog first aid training course.
“The best dog walker we've had. Very communicative, constant updates made us feel that Mikey was safe and getting the proper walk that he needs. Highly recommended! Thank you, Krystal!”
About: I've grown up around dogs my whole life and have experience caring for a variety of breeds, including Beagles, Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, Cocker Spaniels, German Shepherds, border collies and Labradors. Through owning and walking dogs, I've learned how to read canine body language, respect boundaries, and handle dogs calmly and confidently on walks. I also have experience preventing leash pulling and helping dogs stay focused and comfortable during walks. In addition to my hands-on experience, I've spent years learning about dog behaviour and training techniques through educational resources and dog rehabilitation programs. For the past two years, I've been the primary caregiver for my indoor domestic shorthair cat, who is now five years old. I handle all aspects of their daily care, including feeding, playtime, grooming, monitoring their wellbeing, and ensuring they feel safe and comfortable. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and needs, and I always aim to provide patient, attentive, and loving care. I currently have a very flexible schedule and am available on both weekdays and weekends. As pet care is my main focus, I can accommodate a variety of walking, drop-in, and sitting requests. The only regular commitment I have is caring for my own cat in the evening, so I am available for most daytime and afternoon bookings. I will always communicate clearly about my availability and ensure pets receive reliable, attentive care. Your pet's safety and wellbeing are my top priorities. Having grown up with dogs and currently being the primary caregiver for my cat, I understand the importance of patience, routine, and respecting each animal's individual personality and boundaries. I pay close attention to body language and behaviour to help pets feel comfortable and secure in my care. During walks, I ensure dogs remain safely leashed unless instructed otherwise in a secure, appropriate area. For home visits and pet sitting, I follow owners' instructions carefully regarding feeding, exercise, medication, and routines. I believe in providing a calm, positive environment where pets can feel safe, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away.

I will follow the instructions you provide and take the time to earn your pets trust inside and out of your home. I’ll provide updates and ensure clear communication of any issues.
About: Whilst I've never had the pleasure of having my own dog due to living circumstances, I used to help my ex with his dog sitting & boarding business, including loads of cuddles, walks, feeding, administering oral medicine etc. I can't wait to have my own dog one day when circumstances allow but also have my own two cats who I love dearly. I work full time but have a very flexible work schedule, so can fit visits & walks around your needs. I am unfortunately out of the country for Christmas, so would not be able to help during that time. I unfortunately cannot offer any boarding services. However, I promise to be respectful of your own home and will respect any rules you set. Please let me know any emergency arrangements and local vet information at the time of hiring. I have my own car so can transport your pet in an emergency.
About: Growing up surrounded by a menagerie of pets: dogs, cats, rabbits, parrots and a lizard, I have been caring for animals for over 30 years and feel that a home isn't really a home without a furry companion. Owning various pets over the years has results in me being confident in animal care and behaviour. I lead an active life and have run with, climbed mountains and trained from a puppy our working cocker spaniel, who even in old age was mistaken for a puppy! Most recently, I have supported the rehabilitation of a stray Lurcher which came into our care. Teaching her how to live in a home and learn commands and what a toy was, has been extremely rewarding. If your pet has boundless energy or is timid, old or young, this is not a problem and I can easily adapt and prioritise your pet's individual needs. There are woods and many walks in my local area and I am also close to secure dog parks if this forms part of your pets routine. Muddy boots and paws welcome! At a glance, I can offer: * 35 years plus experience * a focus on enrichment and providing a safe environment * confident to administer basic oral medication - easy access to veterinary support * experience of working with dogs of different temperaments * happy to also feed and care for other small pets * Available 24/7 during school holidays * up to date Pet sitting insurance Perfect for all your school holiday, evening and weekend needs! I currently work full-time as a teacher. This allows me to have weekends totally free 24/7. I can be available from 3:30pm weekdays and possibly lunchtimes if you live locally to my work. I am able to take at short notice so please just ask. During the school holiday ( Christmas, Easter, Summer and half terms) I am available 24/7 I recommend a meet and great prior to the booking to discuss the individual needs of your pet. It would be great to know commands and favourite toys etc so I can fully engage with your dog and they can be at ease. On walks, I will always keep your dog on a lead and avoid other dogs unless you are able to inform me of any doggy friends your pet has. Due to my current employment I am DBS checked and offer a trusted and reliable service.
About: Update soon with current surroundings near Fairfield park. Used to walk often in Hampton court palace, bushy park, half an hour walk to Richmond. Drive to Surrey hill, headly heath Richmond park and Wimbledon for a run or walk with nature. I could pick your pet up to any of those parks. Spiritual person with crystals and stones connection, learning more on dog training and communications at the moment so seeking for more chance with different characters of animals. I travelled a lot as the work allows me, always staying in yoga studio or friend place and walk their dog for my sunrise and sunset walks. I was in wales last half a year at the farm living with German Shepard training and horse riding. I do digital marketing consulting so mostly communicate on phone or computer at home with minimal time. I adopted schnauzer at her 12 years old til her 16, she is still healthy staying with my mother in Hong Kong, was living with my partner in Dubai having German Shepard mix at his 6 years old and now back with other family member in the farm. Last half a year I was based in wales at the farm with 2 years old energatic German Shepard as you can see my profile picture :) Love hikes and walks, wake up early for yoga at 5/6am and sleep about 9/10pm. Other time I/ we just walk and nature :) My full time work is in event planning and fully remote with my passion project in massage . My routine is wake up early 5-6 and can be flexible working depends your needs. We are living in coach house close to Bannatyne surroundings with nature and parks, i could also provide extra dog grooming service with simple cleaning and dry out.

“Sarah is amazing. Cooper settled straight in and adores Sarah. Sarah was brilliant at sending updates. I felt very comfortable with leaving Cooper in the knowledge he was well looked after. He made new friends and will miss them (until the next time!) I would highly recommend Sarah.”
“Winnie had another fantastic stay with Catherine and her family. We were kept updated with how Winnie was during her stay and knew she was receiving the best care while we were away.”
“Our pup is only 4 months old so still a bit unhinged with lots of energy to burn but Jas was absolutely fantastic with him. It was our first time leaving Neo but as soon as he met Jas my mind was at ease, was so happy to see how well they got on. Jas is really personable guy and we would leave Neo with him again with no hesitation, in fact he's already booked in for his next stay 🙂”
“This was the first time that we had left Freyja with Fiona and I’m so glad we did! Freyja had a wonderful weekend and Fiona was so good at sending us pictures and updates. I will definitely book for Freyja to stay again - thanks so much Fiona!!”
“Kellie and Andy were great and our black lab Alfie absolutely loved his time with them. They were very quick to reply and also asked questions to understand what Alfie needs in order to take best care of him. We got daily updates which were lovely - Alfie seemed so happy. It went so well that we’ve rebooked for our little boy to stay with them again. Would definitely recommend them, they are lovely 🐾 ♥️”
“Murphy had a fabulous time, Corinne very much put us at ease and sent us lots of fabulous photos of him looking very relaxed in her home . Thank you for looking after him so wonderfully x”
“This is my 4th review, I included more detail previously, but at this point, I’d just say that, Lauren and Matt’s place is Brooklyn’s (my dog’s) second home. Simply the best!”
“Jess is very calm, friendly and easy going. She was happy to accommodate our earlier drop off and late pick up the next day and was great about helping to settle Fin in as it was his first stay at her place. Fin was very happy when I picked him up. Will definitely be using Jess again and would highly recommend.”
“Sue and James were incredible looking after our pug, Loki. They kept in contact with us regularly while we were away on holiday, sending us photos and videos and giving us updates on how Loki was doing. They also have two beautiful dogs, who have a lovely temperament, which I am sure helped to put Loki at ease. Highly recommend!”
“Jennifer was brilliant whilst my family and I were on Holiday! My dog had never been left alone with anyone else before and after a couple of days felt right at home. Nice to get regular updates with short videos. I would absolutely recommend and I will only be using Jenn moving forwards. 😁”

“Alex was outstanding in her care and attention to our Bailey. He clearly had a wonderful time and came home a contented boy! She kept in contact during his stay with pictures and we felt happy knowing he was safe and being looked after. We have no hesitation in recommending Alex and her 5 ⭐️ care.”
“Lydia was very welcoming , clearly a dog lover and has great experience with large dogs. Zeus loved his stay and Lydia kept us up to date with photos of Zeus on his walk.When we went to pick him up he was very relaxed and was cuddling up to Lydia like he had known her for years. Highly recommend Lydia for a great dog care experience! Thank you 😊”
About: I’ve had years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, including owning our Boxer for 12 wonderful years. I’ve also helped family and friends when they have required any pet sitting while at work or away on holiday. I’m comfortable with daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, and giving dogs plenty of love, attention, and companionship to help them feel safe, happy, and settled while in my care. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine as I’m home every day apart from the school drop off and pick up. This means your dog will have plenty of company, attention, care, and regular toilet breaks throughout the day rather than being left alone for long periods. I enjoy getting out for walks and spending quality time with dogs, so they’ll be treated as part of the family and included in day-to-day life with lots of love and companionship. Your dog’s safety and comfort will always come first. I have a loving family home with a fully fenced garden, including both patio and grass areas, and no free roaming animals. As I’m home all day, your dog will have plenty of supervision, attention, and care, and I’ll always follow your routines and instructions to help them feel safe, settled, and happy.
About: I genuinely enjoy caring for animals. I’m patient, gentle, and attentive, and I adapt my care to suit each pet — whether they’re energetic and playful or quiet and cuddly. I believe every pet deserves individual care. I’m highly communicative and always keep owners updated with messages and photos, so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. I work from home full time and am also at home on weekends, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. This allows me to provide consistent supervision, regular walks, timely feeding, playtime, and plenty of companionship throughout the day. Because I’m home most of the time, pets are never left alone for long periods and can enjoy a calm, comfortable environment whether they’re here for walks, day sitting, or overnight boarding. I provide safe, attentive, and personalised care both in my home and in pet owners’ homes. I follow routines closely, ensure constant supervision, and keep owners updated with regular messages and photos. At my home, pets have access to a secure, fenced garden for safe outdoor time, a friendly resident dog for companionship (where suitable), and a nearby park within walking distance for regular walks and exercise. Your pet’s comfort and safety always come first.
About: I’ve spent my life with dogs, and am now very lucky to have a gorgeous black lab, Maisie. I’d love to help take care of your pooch when you need. I work from home most days (and don’t accept bookings on days when I’m not), and take my own dog for a walk in the morning and evening. I’m happy to take your dog with us, or separately if they have different walking needs or need the attention just on them. I have a fenced back garden that the dogs always have access to, and they can come in and out as they please. They can spend the day with Maisie, or have their own space if that’s better. She’s a lovely friendly dog and adapts well to other dogs vibes - she’s very careful and respectful of older dogs, but will run around with a puppy if she can!
“Hannah and her partner looked after my dog heidi with exceptional care. I would highly recommend and look forward to book her again. Also they both went above and beyond helping my daughter and myself. Thank you both xx”
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats since I was a child and have always been comfortable around animals of different sizes, breeds, and personalities. Friends and family have regularly trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and look after their pets while they were away. I understand how important patience, attention, and routine are to keeping pets happy and comfortable. I’m currently working from home, so I have plenty of time to look after your cats and dogs. I’m available for boarding during both weekdays and weekends. We have a fenced front garden where pets can safely play and enjoy some outdoor time. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, medication, and routines, to help pets feel comfortable and at home. Since I work from home, I’m able to supervise them throughout the day and keep them company.
“Kim took excellent care of my dog Lola while I was away. She treated Lola like her own, giving plenty of attention, walks, and care. Communication was great, I received regular updates and photos. Lola clearly loved staying with Kim. Highly recommend and will 100% book again.”
