“This was Neo's second stay with Jas and he had a great time! He's still a young pup so quite a handfull but Jas took great care of him, lots of play and socialising with his lovely dog Cookie. Not only I trust Jas fully with Neo's care but also he really is a nice person, nothing is a problem! We got daily updates and videos and Neo came home very happy. Highly recommend”
“A big thank you to Catherine and her family for looking after Benji so well! It was his first time staying away from us and he's clearly had a wonderful time, enjoying lots of fuss and cuddles. The environment was perfect for him, a loving family home. We would thoroughly recommend Catherine as a sitter - nothing phased her and we were kept regularly updated with photos throughout his stay. He's looking forward to coming again!”
“Nathalie communicated really well with us from the start and arranged a meet and greet so we could see if our dogs got on. That was really reassuring as Nathalie is clearly great with dogs and made Milo feel very welcome. Milo was so excited when we subsequently dropped him off at Natalie's for the day and he had great fun playing with Nathalie's gorgeous dog Tilly. We would definitely use Nathalie again and would highly recommend her.”
“Lauren was amazing with Daphne. She’s usually cries a lot when I leave her but she was fine with Lauren. We got lots of updates through the stay and she seemed very at home.”
“Jess was absolutely fantastic with our dog, Margot. We received regular updates and photos, and we could clearly see that Margot was having a great time with Jess and Pepper. Jess took Margot on some lovely walks and did some lovely activities with her, but she was also very understanding and respectful of our requests for caring for Margot. We highly recommend Jess.”
“Sarah is always smiling and loves receiving our dogs. She has a great love for the dogs. We get regular photos and videos of the dogs while we are away reassuring us that they are ok. One of our dogs in on medication and Sarah ensures she gets it all on time. We have used Sarahs dog services for 3 times now and will be back. Thanks Sarah great job.”
“Corinne did a fantastic job watching Poppy. She gave frequent and detailed updates with pictures and videos. I could tell that Poppy was being cared for well and that Corinne was attentive to her needs. Thank you so much for watching our lil Poppy 😊”
“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 🐾 ♥️”
“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!”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter! From the very beginning, they were professional, reliable, and genuinely caring. It was clear they truly love animals, and my cat warmed up to them much faster than expected, which says a lot. They kept me updated with regular messages and photos, which gave me real peace of mind while I was away. I came home to a happy, relaxed cat and everything exactly as I left it. It’s such a relief knowing my pet was in such safe and attentive hands. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate cat sitter, and I’ll definitely be booking with them again in the future!”
“Linda is just amazing. She kept us updated with lots of messages, photos & videos & it looked like she had a wonderful time. Linda is such a lovely lady, really gentle & loving and instantly gelled with Sneaky. It was amazing to go away knowing she was in such safe hands. Thank you so much Linda!”

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.
“Veronika took care of my 2 year old Frug for a week as a very last minute request. The care and attention given to him during his stay was outstanding, Veronika is so kind, attentive and tuned in to all of the needs of the animals in her care. It is very clear to see she has a deep love and appreciation for dogs, and hours of planning goes into their stay. He was given long walks, tried new foods, lots of cuddles and understanding and space plus fun. I received lovely pictures and videos throughout his stay, and she has continued to check on his wellbeing since. I cannot recommend Veronika highly enough. Not only is she an incredible dog boarder, she is a genuinely kind person too.”

“Sam was a perfect sitter for our two cats. We’d been let down before by a different agency/sitter, so we were a bit concerned going away for a week. But Sam put our nerves at ease, sending us daily updates with pics. She also was friendly, communicative and on time for the pre-visit and key collection. Would happily use her again! Thanks! 😁”
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.
“We’ve booked Sophie a number of times and she is a fantastic catsitter! She is highly reliable, thoughtful and has great communication. We especially appreciate all the (sometimes quite amusing) photos and it always looks like the cats are having a lot of fun. We definitely recommend and will be booking again :) Thank you!”
“Another great cat sitting experience whilst we were away for over a week. Our lad had some health issues shortly before our holiday, and whilst he was back to normal before we left, Suzy kept updated on his habits and gave him lots of fuss to ensure we didn't worry.”
“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. 😊”

We came home to well-looked after and happy cats, so a massive thank you to Charlotte. We'd absolutely book her again for future holidays.”

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.

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.
About: I absolutely adore cats and have owned several, going back to childhood. I currently have a sweet black and white cat called Oreo and I use this app for cat sitting when I am away. So I know how important peace of mind and regular updates are, so you can be reassured your loved cat is happy while you are away. I love cats and am excited to spend some time with other people's cats and promise to look after them as if they were my own. I am patient, conscientious and reliable and know how important it is to gain trust with a cat and let them come to you. Looking forward to hearing from you!
“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.”

“Without doubt the best dog caring experience I have ever had! Fiona and her lovely family were so welcoming on our first day introduction, and I felt so safe and secure leaving my beloved pup in their care. Such a lovely welcoming home. I am aware my pup is rather challenging when having his first day at doggy day care, however Fiona knew exactly how to manage him and his anxieties, she gave me great feedback and also lots of wonderful tips for training. I genuinely did not expect this level of care and I am so grateful to have met Fiona. Truly, I would highly recommend to any dog owner seeking a caring, professional and friendly service. Fiona’s rates are fantastic, especially considering the service provided, definitely top-tier, I would expect to pay more. Fiona, thank you so much for everything, for taking care of my pup and for your kind advice, so greatly appreciated. I look forward to seeing you soon ☺️”
“Leigh came to meet my dog before my dog’s stay - much appreciated. The weather was extremely hot so she kept her cool and safe. Leigh kept in touch during the day and was considerate and flexible with pick up time.”
“Sarah is great and Stanley, my cocker spaniel loves being with her for walks and lots cuddles. Sarah is very friendly, responds quickly to my questions and is very flexible. She is a great find.”
“A fantastic dog sitter who was so accommodating and kind. This is our second time booking and we will definitely be booking again. We were updated throughout the day with photos and a couple of videos and it was so lovely to see. She is very responsive to messages and has taken superb care of our boy. Thank you again! He had the best day 🐶 🐾 ❤️”
“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!”

I fully trained Teddy including toilet training and recall. I look after Teddy a least once a week and have also looked after friends and families dogs at the same time. My preference is small/medium dogs as I live in a flat but I am round the corner from a small park and 5 minutes walk away from a big field. Happy to house sit dogs too. I enjoy walking and keeping dogs entertains with enrichment activities. I work from home most days of the week so have the time to give to a dog in need. Work from home most of the week.

“Shelley and Dave were really nice and understanding of my puppy's needs. This was the first time I left him with someone so I was a bit sad and worried. But they sent me lots of pictures of my baby playing with the family and that was really nice to see and reassuring. I will use their services again. Thank you!”
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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

I always make sure dogs are comfortable, well supervised, and settled in a calm environment. I take the time to understand each dog’s routine, preferences, and any specific needs, and I’m happy to follow feeding schedules or instructions closely. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your dog is safe and well cared for. I’m happy to meet beforehand to make sure it’s a good fit!
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!”
“This was my first time using Rover. I needed to find someone to walk my 6 month old puppy. From the beginning Alejandra filled me with confidence that she would be trustworthy and take very good care of our dog. I would definitely recommend and request to book Alejandra again. Thank you!”

“This was Neo's second stay with Jas and he had a great time! He's still a young pup so quite a handfull but Jas took great care of him, lots of play and socialising with his lovely dog Cookie. Not only I trust Jas fully with Neo's care but also he really is a nice person, nothing is a problem! We got daily updates and videos and Neo came home very happy. Highly recommend”
“A big thank you to Catherine and her family for looking after Benji so well! It was his first time staying away from us and he's clearly had a wonderful time, enjoying lots of fuss and cuddles. The environment was perfect for him, a loving family home. We would thoroughly recommend Catherine as a sitter - nothing phased her and we were kept regularly updated with photos throughout his stay. He's looking forward to coming again!”
“Lauren was amazing with Daphne. She’s usually cries a lot when I leave her but she was fine with Lauren. We got lots of updates through the stay and she seemed very at home.”
“Jess was absolutely fantastic with our dog, Margot. We received regular updates and photos, and we could clearly see that Margot was having a great time with Jess and Pepper. Jess took Margot on some lovely walks and did some lovely activities with her, but she was also very understanding and respectful of our requests for caring for Margot. We highly recommend Jess.”
“Sarah is always smiling and loves receiving our dogs. She has a great love for the dogs. We get regular photos and videos of the dogs while we are away reassuring us that they are ok. One of our dogs in on medication and Sarah ensures she gets it all on time. We have used Sarahs dog services for 3 times now and will be back. Thanks Sarah great job.”
“Corinne did a fantastic job watching Poppy. She gave frequent and detailed updates with pictures and videos. I could tell that Poppy was being cared for well and that Corinne was attentive to her needs. Thank you so much for watching our lil Poppy 😊”
“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 🐾 ♥️”
“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!”
“Linda is just amazing. She kept us updated with lots of messages, photos & videos & it looked like she had a wonderful time. Linda is such a lovely lady, really gentle & loving and instantly gelled with Sneaky. It was amazing to go away knowing she was in such safe hands. Thank you so much Linda!”
“Alessia looked after to Simba very well. Our Simba had a great time, she seems very relax on the photos. Alessia is very good at communication.Lots of photos and messages :) Highly reccommended!!! Need to book another holiday..”
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.
“Flame had a fantastic holiday while we were able to go to my partners parents for our son’s 2nd Birthday, my partners dad’s allergic to dogs so we were really struggling to find someone to dog sit dog sit for us. Then I found Jennifer and she was lovely, I asked if we could meet her beforehand and she came over and her and Flame got on very well so that put us at ease that she was okay with Jennifer. We had never needed a dog sitter in the past as Flame is a new addition to the family so finding the right person was hard to find. We got regular updates and photos of Flame right from day one, sleeping, playing with her dog and videos of her helping to test her recall. She took Flame to Starbucks and treated her to a pup cup, took her to her sons football training, school runs and even to the pub. Flame struggles at the moment being left alone as we haven’t ever done it with her being 6 months so to see that Jennifer was okay with that and took her out with her made us be able to relax while visiting my partners parents. Jennifer was even happy to pick Flame up for an extra £10 and drop her off to avoid us getting a train witch we were happy with. We will definitely rebook with Jennifer again witch I’m sure Flame will look forward to! Thanks Jennifer and thanks to your boys too!”
“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 😊”
“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.”
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!
“We recently used Zoe for the first time to look after our 7-month-old puppy, and she was absolutely fantastic! From the moment we met her, she was so friendly and welcoming, which instantly put us at ease. During his stay, Zoe sent us regular updates and photos, so we always knew how he was getting on. It was lovely to see how happy and settled he was, and it was clear he was having the best time on his little holiday! We couldn't have asked for a better first experience and wouldn't hesitate to book with Zoe again. We'd highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and trustworthy dog sitter. Thank you so much, Zoe!”
“Bodhi had a lovely time with Claire, He was very well looked after and was very happy with his time there. The children were fab with him also will not hesitate to book again! ☺️”
“Hannah was so great with our little Alfie - she was interested to understand what he likes / dislikes first, agreed to do a meet up to make sure it’ll all work smoothly and Alfie had a fun time staying with them. Also very quick replying and very friendly and accommodating. Would definitely book again and would recommend! 😊”
“Hannah and her partner were absolutely amazing 😍 Brody had the best time with them eating snacks, playing and walking a lot, cuddling at home on the sofa. We have received a lot of cute pictures and messages about him. Thank you again for taking such a good care of Brody 😊”
