“Issy had a wonderful time with Shaun and his family.he was excellent with our energetic Staffie and we were really confident leaving her with him. They supported our routines as well as including her in their family life.

A very experienced family who looked after our Issy really well.10/10 would recommend.”
“Louise took Winnie for me very last minute due to personal bereavement and she was so lovely and very responsive. They live in a beautiful farmhouse with so much land with a fully protective garden. I got sent plenty of photos and Winnie was very loved and looked after by the family. I highly recommend Louise to look after your furry loved ones and thank you again!”
“This was our first time leaving Jake in the very capable hands of William. William and his partner were very friendly and welcoming and Jake clearly enjoyed his time with them. We have no hesitation in recommending this host to other owners.”
About: I’ve owned dogs and other animals my whole life, training them from both 8 week old puppies and rescue dogs of various ages. I currently don’t have the capacity to own my own pet but still want that unconditional human animal interaction. I’m more than happy to train young pets and take your pets on as long a walk as you’d like. I’m new to the pet sitter career but I’ve been looking after pets unpaid my whole life. I also work in conservation so my heart is in animals and wildlife. I’m currently working 9-5 weekdays in conservation but I can give my whole weekend and Friday evening to your dog, taking it on walks, training it or just letting it chill out. I live in a very quiet area with my partner with a garden and a big green behind my house. Your dog would even have its own sanctuary bedroom for it to have some of its own time to decompress if needed. I have a fenced garden but unfortunately not dog proof yet but I can take your dog on plenty of walks and runs and out on the village green on a lead. Your dog would be my main priority and I wouldn’t leave it alone if you didn’t want me to.
“Faride and her family gave our dog Maya the best care possible whilst we were on holiday for 11 days. We received multiple updates a day which showed us just how comfortable and happy she was. We will use them again without hesitation!”
“They are fantastic people; Balto and Ettore had a wonderful time. Hannah fed them and took Balto out every day. We stayed in touch, and she always let me know how my pets were doing; I am very happy and would absolutely recommend her! P.S.: They have a beautiful cat named Lu ❤️”
“Carolyn was amazing with Kobe. He clearly was super happy and comfortable, to the extent that he even lay on Carolyn’s lap, which he doesn’t do at home with us! Very pleased and will definitely use again. Thanks”
“Gabi was excellent with our dog Max! We got regular updates and pictures which put us at ease while visiting the other end of the country. Gabi reassured us that she’d looked after bigger dogs before and all went really well. Max got to play in the nearby river on hotter days and some needed off lead time in the nearby park to tire him out! Would definitely look to use Gabi again to look after Max the next time we go away 🤩🐶”
About: I am an avid animal lover. I love to be outside in nature and will regularly take your dog to the beach/forest/long walks (with your permission) . I will send you photo/video updates to ensure you know your dog is being looked after correctly. I am currently lucky enough to not have to work so I have plenty of free time to make time/play with your best friend! I’m extremely flexible. I do around 10-16 thousand steps a day. You will be asked for your email address once booking is confirmed to fill out if you are a new client. This is to ensure your dog gets the correct care and is looked after to the best of my ability. If your dog wants to come on a mini holiday they can stay over for lots of attention and lots of extra strokes and treats are a given. I'm happy to send photos/feedback from other clients.
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… food bowls washed throughly after every use and water bowls washed every time it’s refilled. Long walks every day or even 2 times a day and no I’m not talking a hour at a time I’m talking 3-4 hours I believe dogs should be outside exploring not inside all day… mental stimulation is a must… I’m not saying I’m perfect I’m just saying I know what I’m doing 🥰🥰 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.
“Alison and her family were absolutely amazing with my doggo Daisy! She is nervous around new people and they made the extra effort to meet her and understand her before her stay! Throughout the whole trip I received so many photos of her amazing walks and care! I really could not recommend Alison more and will definitely be booking Daisy in for a staycation again :)”
“Sylvia was cognisant of the fact that Archie was away from home for the first time and handled him appropriately. I was pleased with the feedback that I got plus the photos. She asked about anything that she was unsure of, to do with his behaviour and how we fed him etc I will use Sylvia again knowing that I can feel at ease while on holiday.”
“Our high spirited lab puppy Rocky was very well looked after and had a great time with Juno. Paulo and Francisco were excellent- great communication and kindly sent us photos too which were very much appreciated. Rocky is really looking forward to his next stay.”
“Andrea is great with our dog, Tarly. He is very happy to stay with her and Estelle. We received photos and a video and knew he was having lovely walks in the snow. Andrea also was very accommodating and patient when we had car issues which delayed us. We highly recommend Andrea.”
“This was our second time boarding Rory with Lloyd, this time for a longer stay and again, had the best experience! Lloyd is so communicative and seeing photos of Rory while I was away was so comforting and I looked forward to them everyday. She got lots of exercise, time outside, and got along with Hudson seemingly so well. Again, a great experience, thank you Lloyd and Hudson!”
“Eva was brilliant, she took Terry at short notice and from the moment he arrived he was relaxed so I had no problem leaving him. I received messages regularly which reassured me he was doing fine while with Eva. I would definitely book again if needed.”
“Absolutely brilliant. Tobias kept us well informed, as often as we asked, as to how our dog was getting on, with texts and video. Our dog came home happy and healthy, having enjoyed lots of attention whilst staying with Tobias and his family. The property is safe and secure, leaving us confident to leave our dog with Tobias.”

“Rhiannon looked after our excitable puppy, Pedro, for the day while we went on a family trip to London. We had booked the trip before getting him and had seriously considered cancelling, as we were so worried about leaving him for the first time. However, after meeting Rhiannon, we felt completely reassured and Pedro had the best day! Rhiannon sent us lots of updates throughout the day, which really put our minds at ease. Pedro was clearly happy, well cared for and thoroughly worn out from all the fun and running around. We would definitely recommend Rhiannon and wouldn’t hesitate to book her again!”
“Christine was absolutely amazing with our 5 cats, 2 of them had bowel problems, which is quite a struggle for mess but Christine kindly took care of the cleaning of them. Christine contacted me each day and evening while round our house for updates too which made me feel at ease. ”
“Georgia was fantastic with our dog, Suggsy. She sent lots of photos and updates, and we always felt comfortable knowing he was in good hands. Suggsy was happy and well cared for, and we’d gladly use Georgia again. Highly recommend!”
“I was so pleased to have Ann visit and feed my cat whilst I was away for a couple of days. Communication was easy and I felt confident that my cat was left in good hands, which indeed she was. Thank you!”
About: Hi! I'm Lydia. I have experience as a veterinary care assistant which involved looking after cats of all ages. I am also certified in pet first aid, and am comfortable administering medications. I love all cats and am available for drop in visists to give some enrichment in the form of play time or puzzle feeders or just some cuddles on the sofa- whatever your cat needs!
“Lene was a brilliant cat sitter who we found last minute. Our cat Pinky seemed to get on with her very well straight away. Frequent updates with pictures were excellent and reassuring that our cat is in good hands. Thank you so much!!”
“10/10 again :) our girls are certainly becoming a fan, they seem so relaxed when we return which is lovely as they can get easily stressed. Great communication each day which puts us at ease, thank you so much and we will be rebooking when we next go away! ”
“Hermione went above and beyond to ensure our cats were happy and healthy whilst we were away. She kept us updated the whole time with pictures and message updates, which was great as it was our first time leaving them with anyone but family. Would absolutely not hesitate to book again!!”
“Lucy looked after our cat Lilith for a weekend. We were able to meet with Lucy before the sit, which was helpful and put our minds at ease. Lucy was communicative during the sit, followed the intructions accurately, sent us photo updates, and left the house in great condition for us to come back to. I was confident leaving Lilith with Lucy and would definitely recommend this sitter.”
“Zoe was fabulous with our Henry! He’s a very pampered cat.. and isn’t sure of new people. But he was very settled and happy with Zoe. A chilled calm and happy little man when we returned home after a couple of days away. Zoe sent me a few photos- which is super reassuring. She took great care of our home. We would not hesitate to ask for Zoe again, or recommend her!”
“Very happy with Pedro. My dog Betty was especially relaxed around him and I felt happy with everything. When I returned home they were happy and had fresh water. Getting updates and pictures whilst I was out was very reassuring.”
About: I’ve been caring for cats since childhood, and my love for them has only grown over the years. I adore their unique personalities—every cat is different, and I take the time to understand their needs, whether they’re playful, shy, or independent.

Your cat’s comfort and happiness are my top priorities, and I’ll treat them like my own while you’re away 🐈💖🐈⬛

“Kiwi the dog had a great short stay! Ashley was great at communicating and was able to help us out very last minute when another sitter cancelled on us. I was confident she was going to look after him very well, and gave us updates. Will definitely be using Ashley again should we visit the area 🫶”
“Louise and family were great with Max! Great communication, nice to see some pictures of Max enjoying himself - even though we’d just booked a shorter day care visit - and you could tell Max enjoyed his time hanging out and spending time with Louise’s lovely pooch Luna too. Will definitely look to book again when we need Max looking after 🐶👏🏼”
About: Hi there ! Since my childhood I've had and looked after many animals all shapes and sizes. I consider myself a confident and caring individual who will look after your pet and their needs. I will try my best to be flexible, and am happy to discuss any particular requirements or preferences. I do have a friendly dog aged 2 of my own, so for any stays at my home address I would require a short meet and greet to make sure they get along first. I am currently working from home the majority of the week and do have time on weekends for bigger walks or longer drop in visits. I have a large fenced back garden for your dog to be safe and play in. Additionally to the grass is a rubber pieced section too.
About: We have always had a dog in our lives until recently. I am retired so I’m home all day so able to provide all the care and attention that your dog requires. We have a fully enclosed garden and also have some lovely places to walk. While you’re away, we offer your dog a holiday of their own, a real home from home. We’ll send regular photos to assure you that they are safe and happy, so that you can enjoy your time away.Apart from overnight boarding we also offer doggy day care. I’m retired so at home to take care of your dog’s every needs. We’re able to adjust our activities to accommodate your pet without too much trouble. We live in a bungalow so no stairs to contend with. Fully enclosed rear garden. It’s a real home from home for your precious pet.
About: I've had dogs in my life since I was born and over the last 20 years have rescued many. From pups to gorgeous oldies, the oldest we rescued was 17. All different sizes and breeds. Dogs are just a magnet to me when I see them, I love them all! I hadn't had a dog since 2023 as I just didn't think I could go through the heartbreak of losing another, after my last lab - they really are part of the family x However, in March, an elderly neighbour had to go into assisted living and couldn't take his beloved dog, so we took on Pixie! Pixie made me realise how much I have been missing out and we love her - such a gentle soul. Pixie is 11 and absolutely guttingly has cancer (and I feel dementia), so she sleeps most of the time, but is in no pain and loves to be with us. The reason for me deciding to become a dogsitter is because Pixie seems to love the company of other dogs and I thought it might be nice for her (and of course me!). Pixie would not want a dog who jumped all over her - but I think it would be lovely for us both! I work from home and have an office in the garden - so we can keep each other company! As well as the fenced garden, we also have 3 acres. We decided to downsize and live in a small but lovely lodge - cosy!! Your baby will be well looked after and I can follow any rules you have, medications needed, etc. They are quite welcome to share the sofa and bed with us (if that is what they are used to), as long as we can fit on too!! It is hard to leave your dog, I know - I've been upset to leave mine that needed it, at the groomers even! I would really want you to come and check us out first and get to know me & Pixie!
“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.”
“The perfect people, so kind friendly and generous can’t think of a better place to entrust the fur baby ! Hayley and family made art so welcome and made him part of the family for his stay, highly recommended”
“Pinar took such good care of our miniature dachshund bramble. She gave us lots of updates throughout, photos and videos. We felt like Pintar and her family looked after Bramble as if she was their own dog. Would definitely recommend her to anyone”

“My dog Babbo was in good hands with Lloyd. He kept me updated with how Babbo was getting on, took him for lovely walks. Babbo seemed at home with Lloyd. I would definitely leave my dog with Lloyd again”
“Leanna was fantastic at providing doggy day care for Luca! I appreciated how she asked questions beforehand to make sure she knew a little about him and was prepared, kept us updated throughout the day with pictures & comments and it was clear he had had a great time. He came back tired and happy. Thanks Leanna and we would definitely book you again!”
“Kazoo had a good time with Sylvia. She was punctual, responded to messages quickly, and sent us updates throughout her stay. We also forgot her water bottle but Sylvia brought it round the next day.”

About: Hi, I’m Rhi! I’m a bubbly 32 year old who absolutely adores animals. My own family consists of one goofy Golden Retriever, two cats who firmly believe they run the house, and a leopard gecko, so I’m no stranger to a variety of personalities! I’ve spent my whole life around animals and honestly wouldn’t want it any other way. While I don’t have any formal animal care qualifications, I have years of hands-on experience caring for my own furry family members, as well as looking after friends’ and family’s pets whenever they’ve needed a helping hand. I’m passionate about giving them all the love, patience, respect and attention they need. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and other small pets, whether that’s feeding, walking, playtime, administering routines, or simply keeping them company with a calm and reassuring presence. One of my favourite things about pet sitting is getting to know each animal’s individual character. I understand that some pets are full of energy and love to play, while others are shy and need a little more time and space to feel comfortable. I have a calm and patient nature, so I’m always happy to let your pets set the pace and build trust in their own time. Equally, I’m more than happy to be silly, playful, and energetic for those who love attention, games, and adventures! As the owner of an adolescent Golden Retriever, I know how important consistency is when it comes to training and routines. I’ll always do my best to follow your pet’s usual schedule, rules, and training cues so they have a familiar and stress-free experience while you’re away. My priority is always making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, happy, and well cared for. As a pet owner myself, I know how worrying it can be leaving our furry family when we are away, so understand how important it is to trust someone with your beautiful pets. I’ll always care for your pets with the same kindness, attention, and affection that I give my own. I’m very fortunate that my job allows me to be quite flexible with my hours, so I can be available and travel easily most of the time, as I work remotely. I don’t have many commitments other than my own pets who can be looked after by my partner. This leaves me free to give your furry family member plenty of attention and affection throughout the day. I know every pet is different, it’s what I love about them! So I try to care for them in a way that suits them best. If they’re full of energy, I’m happy to keep them entertained with walks, playtime, and enrichment games. If they’re a little nervous or need some space, I’m equally happy to take things slowly and let them come to me in their own time. I’m also happy to stick to any routines you’ve worked hard to put in place (I know how hard this can be) whether that’s crate training, meal times, training cues, or little things that help them feel settled and secure in their environment. One thing you can definitely expect from me is updates! I know how much I miss my own pets when I’m away, so I’ll make sure you’re kept in the loop with messages, photos, and videos. If you’re anything like me, 90% of my camera roll is of my furry family.
“Isobel looks after and walks our little Jack Russell on occasions. She is very knowledgeable about the care of dogs. Pickle is always happy to see her. Would highly recommend”
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.
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 had dogs and cats all my life - so I absolutely love them! Very flexible, happy to do short notice bookings for drop ins, dog walking, or all day care. Experienced in oral and injected medication. Will look after your lovely pets just like I do my own. I am retired so have plenty of time to look after your pets. I am flexible around timings and can do short-notice bookings. I love cats and dogs so will look after your pet just like I do my own.

I’ll contact you or come and visit beforehand to understand how you want your pet cared for and I’ll send regular updates during the day.
About: I’ve always loved and cared for dogs. As they say I would rather a dog in my company than a human 😉 I will give your dog the love and care it deserves with plenty of belly rubs I recently left my mundane 9-5 job so I can spend more time looking after other people’s fur babies. It’s been my passion for years so eventually made the decision to make it my full time job. Who wouldn’t happy doing this 🐶 I have a fully enclosed garden with plenty of room for play or a relaxed area for rest. No dog ever leaves here sad 😄
About: Hey there! I’m Pedro—a lifelong dog lover who lives on the road with my amazing companion, Koda.

I’m experienced with large and small breeds, gentle with nervous dogs, and always patient and attentive. Dogs in my care get plenty of exercise, fresh air, and affection—and you get peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. I can relocate and move where the job needs me to be.

I am observant of body language and their needs.I am reassuring and confident around big or small dogs.
About: Most recently l worked for a dog sitting company and had lots of different sizes and abilities of pooches, staying with me. I am no longer able to offer boarding at my home, however l have recently started housesitting in the pets own Home, l am green fingered so can look after your plants and garden too. I want you to have peace of mind while you are away, l am very house proud and so will take good care of your home and your furry friend.

About: I currently live in the countryside with my partner and our cocker spaniel Albie! I have grown up around animals my whole life and couldn’t see a lifewithout them! I would love to be able to be an extra companion for your dog, cuddle buddy, walk mate or someone you can rely on when life gets busy! I am keen to help with walks, drop in visits and at home stays. Due to my experience with animals my whole life, I am comfortable with animals of all ages. I look forward to meeting your fury friends! I work nights as a carer so most days I am free to assist with your pets. Due to my sleep pattern, a few days notice is preferable but I am happy to help at short notice where I can! I am happy to adhere to any safety adjustments you have set for your pet, whether that be crate training when staying in your home or using safety leads. I never walk my pets in areas I am unfamiliar with to avoid any safety concerns when out and about.
About: I grew up in a dog-loving home with an Irish Red Setter rescue and a Doberman we raised from a puppy, so I'm no stranger to big dogs with big personalities. Over the years, I've cared for pups of all sizes, breeds, and ages - from energetic puppies to sweet senior dogs. Whether your dog loves long walks, belly rubs, or just someone to keep them company, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, loved, and totally spoiled while you're away. A recent move means I am now taking on new clients in and around Norwich. Please see my reviews and reach out for a chat if I can help to care for your pup! I’m working from home, with plenty of gaps in between for toilet breaks and walks in the park - I like to get away from my desk when I can and would love for your dog to join me. I’ve been house sitting for a number of years, both through Rover (please check my reviews) and word of mouth from my existing clients. I will care for your home as if it is my own. I am happy to discuss carrying out tasks unrelated to your pup, too.

I’ve cared for pups who are deaf, require medication, or just need a little extra patience and love. Confident with cats too, from independent explorers to cuddly lap cats. I’ve also looked after fish, lizards, and other small pets, and as a dedicated plant lover, I’ll make sure your greenery thrives while you're away. Reliable, calm, and always happy to keep you updated with plenty of cute photos! Hi, I’m Lauren! I love animals, travel, and exploring new places—pet sitting lets me see the world while giving pets all the love and care they’re used to! I have plenty of experience looking after pets and their homes and always make sure they feel happy, comfortable, and stick to their normal routine. Whether that means walks, playtime, cuddles, or just good company, I’m here to keep them safe and loved while you're away. I’m also super active and love morning runs, hiking trails, and exploring new cities—so if your pet enjoys an adventure, I’d love to have them join me! Since I work from home, I’ll be around a lot for extra attention and care. Plus, as a big plant lover, I’ll happily take care of your houseplants too! I’m very clean, tidy, and a respectful guest. I don’t smoke or vape, and I’ll always treat your home with care. If you're looking for a friendly, reliable sitter, I’d love to chat! I am not able to host your pet in my home, however am fully housetrained myself and am more than comfortable keeping your pet happy and safe in the comfort of their own home
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and have personally owned four cocker spaniels, giving me hands-on experience with energetic, affectionate breeds. I’m confident with walking, feeding, bathing and providing lots of care and reassurance, and I always treat pets like family. Pet care fits well into my weekly routine alongside my uni studies. I’m organised, flexible, and able to plan my schedule around bookings. I’m available for regular drop-ins, walks, and sitting, and I always make sure pets receive consistent attention, exercise, and care while owners are away. I always prioritise safety, trust, and routine when caring for pets. I follow owners’ instructions closely, keep environments calm and secure, and ensure pets feel comfortable and well cared for in their own home.
“Hannah and Rob were fantastic at looking after Bear. This is the first time we have used a dog walker. They arrived on time and often walked him for more than the allotted 1 hour. Hannah sent lots of photos and messages. It was great to see Bear so relaxed and happy. I highly recommend Hannah and Rob and will not hesitate to use them in the future.”
“Maisie absolutely loved her time with Georgia. She sat waiting excitedly by the front door to go out on her adventures and came home contented. Georgia was fantastic with Maisie, responsive to my messages and put me at ease leaving her. I would not hesitate to book Georgia again.”

“Laura was brilliant with Lola, took very good care of her and had excellent communication with us. We would definitely recommend, and will be booking Lola in with Laura again next time we are in the area”
“Mat and his family were amazing. They looked after my parents Cockapoo while we went away and he was treated just like he was their dog. We were sent daily updates and Hughie was very happy, as were we that he was being so well looked after. Would highly recommend!”
“Issy had a wonderful time with Shaun and his family.he was excellent with our energetic Staffie and we were really confident leaving her with him. They supported our routines as well as including her in their family life. He sent regular updates and the meet and greet beforehand was really beneficial and made us feel really comfortable that she would be well cared for. A very experienced family who looked after our Issy really well.10/10 would recommend.”
“Louise took Winnie for me very last minute due to personal bereavement and she was so lovely and very responsive. They live in a beautiful farmhouse with so much land with a fully protective garden. I got sent plenty of photos and Winnie was very loved and looked after by the family. I highly recommend Louise to look after your furry loved ones and thank you again!”
“They are fantastic people; Balto and Ettore had a wonderful time. Hannah fed them and took Balto out every day. We stayed in touch, and she always let me know how my pets were doing; I am very happy and would absolutely recommend her! P.S.: They have a beautiful cat named Lu ❤️”
“Gabi was excellent with our dog Max! We got regular updates and pictures which put us at ease while visiting the other end of the country. Gabi reassured us that she’d looked after bigger dogs before and all went really well. Max got to play in the nearby river on hotter days and some needed off lead time in the nearby park to tire him out! Would definitely look to use Gabi again to look after Max the next time we go away 🤩🐶”
About: I am an avid animal lover. I love to be outside in nature and will regularly take your dog to the beach/forest/long walks (with your permission) . I will send you photo/video updates to ensure you know your dog is being looked after correctly. I am currently lucky enough to not have to work so I have plenty of free time to make time/play with your best friend! I’m extremely flexible. I do around 10-16 thousand steps a day. You will be asked for your email address once booking is confirmed to fill out if you are a new client. This is to ensure your dog gets the correct care and is looked after to the best of my ability. If your dog wants to come on a mini holiday they can stay over for lots of attention and lots of extra strokes and treats are a given. I'm happy to send photos/feedback from other clients.
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… food bowls washed throughly after every use and water bowls washed every time it’s refilled. Long walks every day or even 2 times a day and no I’m not talking a hour at a time I’m talking 3-4 hours I believe dogs should be outside exploring not inside all day… mental stimulation is a must… I’m not saying I’m perfect I’m just saying I know what I’m doing 🥰🥰 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.
“Alison and her family were absolutely amazing with my doggo Daisy! She is nervous around new people and they made the extra effort to meet her and understand her before her stay! Throughout the whole trip I received so many photos of her amazing walks and care! I really could not recommend Alison more and will definitely be booking Daisy in for a staycation again :)”
“Sylvia was cognisant of the fact that Archie was away from home for the first time and handled him appropriately. I was pleased with the feedback that I got plus the photos. She asked about anything that she was unsure of, to do with his behaviour and how we fed him etc I will use Sylvia again knowing that I can feel at ease while on holiday.”
“Andrea is great with our dog, Tarly. He is very happy to stay with her and Estelle. We received photos and a video and knew he was having lovely walks in the snow. Andrea also was very accommodating and patient when we had car issues which delayed us. We highly recommend Andrea.”
“This was our second time boarding Rory with Lloyd, this time for a longer stay and again, had the best experience! Lloyd is so communicative and seeing photos of Rory while I was away was so comforting and I looked forward to them everyday. She got lots of exercise, time outside, and got along with Hudson seemingly so well. Again, a great experience, thank you Lloyd and Hudson!”
“Absolutely brilliant. Tobias kept us well informed, as often as we asked, as to how our dog was getting on, with texts and video. Our dog came home happy and healthy, having enjoyed lots of attention whilst staying with Tobias and his family. The property is safe and secure, leaving us confident to leave our dog with Tobias.”
“Elizabeth took amazing care of our Otto (18 months, Alusky). She kept us updated daily with photos and stories from his adventures, and it was clear he felt right at home. Otto had such a joyful time with Elizabeth and Fergus, we couldn’t have asked for better care.”
“Charlie spent 4 nights over the weekend whilst I was away on holiday. From booking to picking up I couldn't fault Haley and Lee. With regular videos of walks and updates how he was doing i could fully relax knowing he was having a good time. I highly recommend Hayley and will certainly be booking again in the future.”
“As soon as I met Victoria I knew she was responsible, friendly and approachable. I felt my dog was enjoying himself with Victoria’s dog and was sent photos of them playing together. I had complete faith in her being able to look after Bailey and when he returned home he was tired but happy.”
“As always, our Teddy loves staying here. The attention and love he gets, hes never unhappy and always kept upto date with photos and messages. Thanks Sarah and Paul (and Harvey ❤️) x”
About: Since a young age, I have grew up with dogs. However, since moving out of my childhood home I very much miss having a little 4 legged friend. I’d love to be able to care for yours whilst you’re away! I work self employed in the community so usually home every few hours. I leave the house at 8:45am, back for lunch at 12/12:30 and then back again at 15:00. I have a fenced garden and my home is secure. They will be able to roam downstairs when I am out of the house. When I’m home they can have access to the full house.
“I am so happy to have found such a caring’ home from home ‘ for my dog Ruby. Pinar is caring, so knowledgable and sensitive to the animals and very professional. Highly recommend.”
“Excellent communication, regular updates and photos/videos of mac. He looks like he’s had the best time, thoroughly spoilt. Thank you so much for looking after him, would definitely recommend x”
