“I've come home to two very happy, healthy and sleepy dogs. I got just the right amount of updates while away - enough to know they were safe and having fun, but also the space to enjoy the holiday. Would definitely recommend.”
“Shaun & his family were amazing! They couldn’t have been more accommodating and were really flexible through out. We received plenty of updates and she was made to feel right at home with them. They are an absolute credit to dog lovers and you can guarentee they will be spoilt the whole time. Thank you so much, we will certainly book again.”
“Sonny & Luna our sproker spaniels had a lovely 1 night stay with William and his wife. From arrival Sonny & Luna were able to go searching and sniffing freely in the large garden and house. Sonny quickly found the toy box and played one of his favourite games of emptying it one toy at a time and hiding them around the garden. They were taken on walks and we had videos and photos sent to us regularly over the 24 hours. Thank you William, I would definately recommend and confidently use you again to care for my spaniels”
“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!”
“Faride is friendly, helpful and clearly loves dogs and looks after them like her own. Oreo had a great time and was very happy to stay. We were sent regular photos and videos and could see how happy he was. I have already booked her again.”
“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 :)”
“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 ❤️”
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.
“Grace really enjoyed her stay with Gabriella, having plenty of attention during her time there. We received updates and pictures too, to help us in the knowledge she was safe and cared for.”
“If I could give more than 5 stars, I most certainly would!! Ania is the dog sitter that you always hope to find. She took time to understand my Maggie, who can be a little nervous, and made sure she was at ease and comfortable. Ania sent me lots of updates and photos of Maggie, on some fantastic walks and also relaxing in her family home with lots of cuddles. I am so pleased that Maggie had a great stay with Ania and her family and I wouldn’t hesitate to book again 😊”
“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.”
“Our border terrier Clover had a great time with Lillia. She sent us lots of photos showing Clover relaxed and happy. The family all listened to our explaining Clovers needs and foibles and I would definitely leave Clover with Lillia again. Highly recommended.”
“Emma and her partner did a fantastic job with a two night stay for our 5 year old Spanish Water Dog. He seemed to settle in quickly and we appreciated the pictures and videos of him. By the time we picked him up he seemed very relaxed and comfortable with them. We wont hesitate to book with Emma again in the future and will be confident that Inigo will be happy and well looked after.”
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.
“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.”
About: I have extensive experience caring for a wide variety of pets, ranging from small mammals and companion animals. I have cared for tortoises, goldfish, guinea pigs, rabbits, hamsters, cats, and dogs of all ages and temperaments. My experience includes supporting a senior dog recovering from a stroke, ensuring their comfort, safety, and rehabilitation while maintaining their daily routine and health needs. I have also successfully bred and raised dogs, overseeing a mother through three litters of puppies and providing comprehensive care for all puppies until they were eight weeks old. This included monitoring their health, socialization, nutrition, and early training, ensuring each puppy developed strong foundations for lifelong well-being. My approach to pet care is attentive, compassionate, and tailored to each individual animal’s needs, whether it’s maintaining specialized enclosures for reptiles, ensuring proper nutrition and enrichment for small mammals, or providing exercise, stimulation, and medical support for dogs and cats. I am currently working from home, which allows me to build pet care naturally into my daily routine. Caring for pets is part of my everyday life. I provide feeding, fresh water, exercise, enrichment, grooming where needed, and regular health monitoring each day. I also ensure living areas are kept clean and that each animal receives plenty of love, attention, and positive interaction. My flexible schedule means I am able to adapt to the individual needs of each pet, whether that involves walks, playtime, administering medication if required, or simply providing companionship. Whether it's playful dogs, curious cats, or small mammals, every animal is given a safe, happy, and caring environment where their welfare is my priority. Your pets will feel right at home with me. I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where animals can relax, play, and thrive. Each pet receives individual attention, regular feeding, exercise, and enrichment tailored to their needs. Whether it’s cuddles for cats, walks for dogs, or proper habitat care for small mammals, I ensure every pet is happy, secure, and well-cared for while in my home.
“Lloyd took great care of my lively dog Babbo, and Hudson, Lloyds dog, taught Babbo some manners as well as gave him companionship. I know my dog is in good hands with Lloyd.”

“Sian was the perfect cat sitter for our time away! She was fantastic and kept us fully informed the whole time we were away with photos, videos, and detailed updates of her visit. She really put our mind at ease and we could fully enjoy our holiday knowing that Mr Darcy was getting all of the love and fuss from Sian in our absence! I will be booking Sian again and couldn’t recommend her enough 🐾”
“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 brilliant with my nervous older boy. She took the time to go through the feeding and cleaning information and took a real interest in Heathcliffe. I was surprised when she was able to send update photos with him sitting on her lap - I know she spent time building trust with him for this to be possible. Would definitely recommend. ”
About: I’m a 30 year old, Civil Servant who works from home with my orange fluff ball, Theo (who is a little sensation on TikTok (orangefloofs) check him out!!) I’ve had cats and dogs my whole life, that covers a whole lot of personalities and quirks 🤪. I come from a family of huge animal lovers and I can’t remember a time without a cat which means I have a lot of experience with all kinds of ages, dietary requirements, medications and all the other fun stuff!
“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!”
“Georgia was amazing checking on our Suggs today. She was reliable, clean, tidy and sent pictures. Suggsy was snuggling in her lap! Would rely on Georgia again anytime to sit suggsy for us.”
“Hermione has looked after our cat a number of times when we've been away. She's fantastic. Keeps us up to date on everything and takes extra care to make sure our cat is well looked after. We've been struck by her genuine passion for caring for people's pets and would definitely recommend her to anyone.”
“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! ”
“My cat, Ellie was very chilled when i got home. She had obviously enjoyed her time with Olivia. Its great to be able to go away knowing that she will be in safe hands and happy. Many thanks Olivia!”
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!

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.

“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!”

“Emma and Mike were fantastic with Bruno this week. They were able to help with early drop off and later pick ups for day care as we both work long shifts. They kept us updated throughout the day with pictures of Bruno and what he had been doing. He came back happy and relaxed every day. We have already booked for the next dates we need and would have no issue recommending to friends who need someone to look after their dog.”

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.
“Booked last minute with Ania and was so easy. Dropping Charlie off and she was slightly nervous but Ania was great with her. Sending me photos and updates to let me know how she was and how settled. On picking Charlie up, she had settled in with the family making herself at home. Will absolutely be booking again. Charlie came home relaxed and settled from her busy day.”

About: I’ve had two cats for four years now and they are house cats , I love spending time with them. I have previously owned a staffy (dog) named daisy who I regularly took out for walks and fed. I myself go on walks daily so I would love to help someone out if their pets need walking :) I think it’s very important for pets to receive some good playtime and loving which I would love to provide for them when the owner is unable to do so. I will walk pets in evenings/weekends depending on the size and activity level of the pet. I am happy to look after cats at my home too and invest in toys for them. I have now been dog sitting on Rover for 5 years and have enjoyed dog sitting so much. I started out as a uni student but now I am now a Secondary school Geography teacher, so will be available any school holidays as well as evenings and weekends. I have a lot of compassion and love for cats and dogs. I love spending time with them and playing with them, feeding them etc. It’s a very fulfilling job for me. I have a fenced garden, with a spacious living room for comfort. I always try and arrange a meet and greet first so that the pets are familiar with me before the service

“Simi has been visiting Charlotte on a fairly regular basis for a few months, but had her first ‘sleep over’ a few days ago. I dropped off a very relaxed, happy dog, and collected an even happier one. Charlotte has such a lovely way with dogs, Simi even left with a card telling us about her adventures ….. a lovely touch! Thank you Charlotte for looking after and loving our girl so well!”
“Such a friendly home, we felt very at ease leaving Rolo with Pinar & family. They made him feel very welcome. We received videos and photos. Rolo seemed very happy, if we were ever in the area again we would 100% come back. Thank you so much! ?”

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’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 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: With over five years of experience in looking after all kinds of animals as well as growing up in a house full of animals I am now available to look after furry friends whilst back home from university. Whilst my experience is mainly in the realms of dogs, cats, horses, hamsters and guinea pigs I have also looked after rabbits, birds and even a tortoise! I have had plenty of work experience through my degree in veterinary practices allowing me to handle medications as needed and keep an eye on any more senior animals as well, with which I aim to give owners some peace of mind as I completely understand how daunting it can feel when a pet has health issues and to trust someone else to monitor these. I currently work an online job for my university student union, which is part time. This means I have plenty of time to check in on furry friends and keep ontop of their daily schedules! Other than that I would ideally be going to the gym however if one of your furry friends needs 24/7 care it goes without saying that it would always be the priority! I will be able to take your dog out and about to local dog parks or for quieter walks through the lovely Norfolk countryside! With a car and full clean driving licence I would be more than happy to take your pets to safe local areas or walk them from your home. Which ever you would prefer and they would be more comfortable with!

Our pets normally wake up early in the morning to go out for a toilet and go bed to sleep for skittle then get breakfast and play outside of the weather is nice. Later after walks they have dinner to settle them down for bed 🥰 We have a front fenced garden which is great safe place for dogs to play.

“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.”
“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.”
About: I’ve had two cats for four years now and they are house cats , I love spending time with them. I have previously owned a staffy (dog) named daisy who I regularly took out for walks and fed. I myself go on walks daily so I would love to help someone out if their pets need walking :) I think it’s very important for pets to receive some good playtime and loving which I would love to provide for them when the owner is unable to do so. I will walk pets in evenings/weekends depending on the size and activity level of the pet. I am happy to look after cats at my home too and invest in toys for them. I have now been dog sitting on Rover for 5 years and have enjoyed dog sitting so much. I started out as a uni student but now I am now a Secondary school Geography teacher, so will be available any school holidays as well as evenings and weekends. I have a lot of compassion and love for cats and dogs. I love spending time with them and playing with them, feeding them etc. It’s a very fulfilling job for me. I have a fenced garden, with a spacious living room for comfort. I always try and arrange a meet and greet first so that the pets are familiar with me before the service

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.

“Lloyd took great care of my lively dog Babbo, and Hudson, Lloyds dog, taught Babbo some manners as well as gave him companionship. I know my dog is in good hands with Lloyd.”
“Excellent. Seth loved his 10 days with Pedro. Pedro is very knowledgeable about dogs and clearly interested in learning more about them everyday. You can tell he loves dogs. Pedro took Seth on daily walks on and off lead (with our permission) and kept up great contact, sending videos and voicenotes daily with updates. Pedro didn't mind brushing Seth's teeth daily at our request and even sent us tips on oral care. He brushed Seth's coat out without is prompting it. Seth misses Pedro already and will definitely stay again.”
“Victoria is an amazing lady. She catered for all of Megs needs and more besides..Meg adored staying with her and family would not hesitate to leave her again. Thankyou Victoria 💐”
“Pinar was quick to respond, easy to get Toby booked in. Her communication throughout Toby's stay was great, we got lots of photos which was reassuring for us. Toby seemed perfectly content when we picked him up, thoroughly happy as were we. We would definitely recommend and if we go away again will definitely be rebooking.”
“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.”
“. Being so far away and for 3 weeks, we knew we didn’t have to worry about him as Sylvia is a kind and caring dog person. She sent us photos of him on his walks and updates of his activity with her. Sylvia followed the instructions about his diet I think from her comments that they really bonded over the spell that he was there. I would definitely leave him with her again and I plan to do so.”
“Charlotte was so amazing with my dog, Betty. Really took care to understand her and make sure she was happy and safe. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Charlotte again. Thank you so much Charlotte! X”
