“I am very happy to have found Kristina and Nick, they are both lovely and I knew I would feel comfortable leaving Phoebe with them - which is a big thing for me - I am very fussy about who I trust to look after my fur baby 🐾 Good communication and regular updates. Phoebe was well cared for and I have booked again! Thank you 😊”
“Charlie had the best time with Harry and his family. He came home very content and clearly had a great long walk & play time! Harry took the time to find out all about Charlie to ensure he had a comfortable stay. Communication is great and we feel at ease knowing our dog is in safe hands. We have more stays planned!”
“Peaches had the most wonderful time with Sandra whilst we moved house. We were kept updated daily and have already booked her next stay! Not sure Peaches wanted to come home!”
“Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter!! From our initial meeting, it was obvious Ludo loved her, which immediately put me at ease. She has so much experience with animals, both professionally and personally, and it really shows. I received regular updates throughout the weekend, so I never had to worry. I actually felt a bit guilty picking him up because he was clearly having such a great time!😂 I will certainly be booking with her again and would highly recommend Wendy ☺️”
“Buttercup had the most wonderful time with Teresa on her first-ever non-family overnight boarding experience. She was so well looked after and I received fantastic photos of her enjoying herself.”
“Lijo and his family were great. They watched Lola and Nalu for us ad Lond administered Nalu’s medicine and eye drops as she scratched her eye unexpectedly two days before boarding. They kept us up to date with photos and videos during the pups’ stay. We are grateful for their care of our doggies! Thank you again!”
“Jane is great! She saved my trip and very kindly agreed to look after my two dogs last minute after someone else canceled. Jane's place is perfect for short and long term dog sitting - there is a dedicated place for them in the house and plenty of space in the garden to run around. Her retriever is gorgeous and super friendly. Jane sent me messages every morning and video updates during the day. When we came to pick them up, they didn't want to leave!😊”
“Amazing experience, we felt Ella was in safe and loving hands. Before Ella went to stay, Suey sent over a form to get to know Ella. During the stay we had several updates every day of what she was up to. She looked like she had a great time! This enabled us to relax and enjoy our holiday knowing Ella was with such caring and dog focussed people.”
“We couldn't have asked for anyone better to look after Sparky. May took incredible care of her and kept us updated throughout the stay with photos, videos and messages. Sparky clearly loved her time with May and looked so happy and settled in every update we received. May really understood what she needed and was very accommodating to Sparky's habits. We are so grateful for everything she did for Sparky and would recommend her to everybody, especially those looking for somebody with a great understanding of dogs and experience caring for elderly dogs. Thank you May!!”
“Frankie had a great few days with Fern while we were on holiday! Fern was very attentive and responsive, and it was lovely to see all the photos of their walks etc throughout the week. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a dogsitter, and will book again. Thank you!!”
“Chelle responded quickly to a last minute weekend booking, welcomed my dog into her lovely home, was great with communication and updates, and most importantly I picked up a happy and tired dog! Thank you.”
“Terry was fantastic - took great care to make sure Ted had a good week with him, including asking questions beforehand about Ted’s likes & dislikes, and taking him on lots of great walks. Ted bonded really well with Terry, and it was good to know he was being so well cared for while I was away.”
“Bibiana is a fantastic dog sitter! She is very professional and loves animals. She took great care of my little dachshund during the Christmas holidays, and my dog was very happy. I recommend Bibiana to anyone looking for a kind and reliable dog sitter.”
“Jess was a great sitter. She made Orion feel at home. Orion suffered from separation anxiety white there, Jess communicated very well to make Orion feel comfortable. She kept me updated regularly and that made me feel very comfortable. If you looking for a sitter that will give your pet a home away from, book Jess. I'll definitely be booking her again.”
“We’re so thankful for Claire and Ross and Syd! Nalu had the best time with them and was well and tired when she came home from so much fun! They gave us updates and pictures each day which we loved. We will definitely be booking with them again soon!”
About: I first became a "dog Mum" 15 years ago to our Westie, Elland, who sadly we lost recently. I sadly was that annoying "Dog Mum" who had pictures of her on my desk and booked holiday for her birthday each year. I took voluntary redundancy nearly 6 years ago so have been fortunate to spend quality time at home with her and take her out and about on our own or with her other doggy friends. Unfortunately she lost her hearing about 3 years ago so learnt quickly how to communicate with her with some basic sign language. She also developed dry eye disease so I had to administer drops 5 times each day. Two of these were determined by time so I had to ensure I was available to give her these on time. The last 5 months of her life, her arthritis worsened so I bought a buggy to help her whilst out for daily walks/sniffs. I have also looked after family dogs whilst they have been on holiday and have accomodated raw feeding for one of family dogs. I live with my husband in a bungalow. He still works but is here in the evenings and at weekends. I work during examination periods at a local college but can accomodate pet sitting around this as dates are known well in advance. My contract with the college is ona casual basis so dog sitting will be my priority. We have used a local dog sitter who stayed in our home when we went on holiday. I therefore understand the importance of providing important information to the pet sitter when leaving the pet. When I first stopped working I volunteered for a local hospice helping support a family who used their services, by walking their dog on a weekly basis to give them some respite and also encourage the dog to socilise. I did this for 12 months. I also volunteered at Wood Green Animal Charity during Covid restrictions. Although I was there to help in the fundraising office, we often had dogs who weren't settling in kennels, come and sit with us in the office for the day. Some were quite withdrawn so I learnt how to slowly gain their trust. I am retired so home all day. My husband works full time but is home in the evenings and at weekends. I do some casual exam invigilating but I know dates for this in advance so will not take on any work if pet sitting is booked. I am happy to be led by the owners on when and what activity their dog (s) are used to so am pretty flexible. I have acess to my own car so can take the dog to any appointments if required. I have a fully fenced in garden (6ft) I live in a village with lots of access to quiet walks in the countryside if required, as well as walks within the village itself. I am happy to book out local secure dog fields if agreed with the owner but this will involve driving to nearby fields. As previously mentioned we live in a bungalow so no stairs. We are based in a quiet cul-de-sac so if your dog is reactive to traffic, should not be a problm here. I have space for a medium size crate if required.
“Dora was great with our miniature schnauzer Tess. Good communication at the start of the booking and then all the way through with regular updates on how Tess was doing and what she was up to. She was happy for a pre-visit to help Tess and us feel more comfortable ahead of the actual stay. Dora really did look after Tess and we would definitely use her again.”

“Gemma is the absolute best! My cat Charlie adores her and she is super communicative, clean and tidy. Would highly recommend. She has cat sit for me three times now and will always try and book her before anyone else.”
“I would HIGHLY recommend Alison. Great communication, was able to take a holiday knowing everything was in hand, she was very caring with the animals and went above and beyond. Will be using Alison again in the future. Thanks for looking after everyone.”
“Marie was so lovely with our cat Binx! She made sure he had plenty of cuddles, playtime, and sent plenty of pictures and updates. I also really love that she allowed Binx the space to come up to her first and become more comfortable on his time. That let me know that she truly cares for animals! Will definitely be booking with her in the future 😊”
“Sophie was great. My cat Tilly completely agrees, and has told me how much she enjoyed being looked after by her. Plenty of nice updates and photos - altogether a good experience!”
“Kashif took care of my cat when I was away on holiday. Mini is very shy, and I was happy to see how quickly she warmed up to her new cat sitter. Kashif sent regular updates with fotos. My arrival date was not clear until the last minute and he was very accommodating. I can warmly recommend Kashif and will certainly book him again if he is available.”
“Celeste looked after my cat for the weekend, and I couldn't recommend her highly enough. She took the time to learn about Smokey's individual needs and was incredibly caring and reassuring throughout. She kindly sent me regular updates and lots of photos, which gave me real peace of mind while I was away. I could tell she had completely won Smokey over—he's normally very shy (and a bit moody!), but he was happily cuddling up to Celeste all weekend. As an added bonus, she even watered my tomato plants for me. I wouldn't hesitate to book Celeste again. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Smokey!”
“Philippa and David were great cat sitters. Very easy to communicate with and looked after our cat wonderfully whilst we were away, providing regular updates and pictures and giving him lots of attention during the visits. Would highly recommend.”
About: My first pet was a cat and cats hold a special place in my heart, I currently own an 8 year old cat, given to my son. I always stay on top of his cat litter and have nursed him back from a big operation after he was hit by a car. I love spending time with him, playing and petting him.
“Chloe was amazing looking after our rabbits. We didn’t have any worries leaving them while we were on holiday as she kept us wel updated. They were always fed and clean. Amazing pet carer and lovely person. Would definitely recommend”
About: I've grown up with dogs and been around dogs for almost all of my life. Until recently owned a 12 year old cocker spaniel called Tigger. I'm a keen Cani Cross Runner and Tigger was a great running dog, he absolute loved it, so I'm trying to help more dogs be active. A healthy active dog is a dog that will have a longer healthy life and a lot of dogs don't get the exercise they need. I'd love to help change that. 😊 I'm available almost all the time when I'm not travelling and happy to work around your schedule with enough notice. Let's have a chat about your needs. If you would like me to try running with your dog the following apllies: I would need to take your dog out for a walk or two first to learn about their habits and needs. Then if they've not tried Cani Cross before we would need to take it slowly as there's a lot to learn for both me and your dog about how we run together. I'm happy to answer any questions you have about this as well, so do let me know and if you'd like to come along as well that's even better!
About: Although my main experience is with dogs, I have cared for cats belonging to neighbours, friends and family over the years. I understand how important it is to respect their space and routines, and I always take time to make sure they feel comfortable and secure. I’m confident with feeding, playtime and companionship, and I’m happy to follow any specific instructions for medication or care. My calm, patient nature as a teacher helps me adapt quickly to each cat’s personality, whether they are shy or sociable.
“Ed is a delight to deal with, confidence inspiring and delivered the goods. We came back to a happy Cat in a tidy and clean house, and a little welcome back note. Ed will get first refusal on all our cat sitting needs from now on!”
“Danielle has been wonderful with our little Charlie. He looked very happy and well looked after when I came back from a long holiday. I am certainly going to ask Danielle to look after our fur baby again in the future!🙂”
About: Hi! I’m a friendly and reliable animal lover who has had cats all my life, so I understand how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your pets. I currently have two 8-year-old British Shorthair cats who are brothers and I’m used to different personalities and routines. Whether your cat is playful, shy, cuddly, or independent, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos for peace of mind!
About: I love animals (but everyone on here says that don't they!) I also have real hands-on experience dealing with rescue dogs that had a bad start so maybe a little 'minxy' in their behaviours. I had a dog as a kid and have one now with a myriad of 'quirky' behaviors. I've taken online courses in Dog Behaviours and Zoopharmacognosy (self-medication in the animal kingdom) so you know I have an avid interest in the general well-being of all animals. I will be available for daytime sits in your home, drop ins and evening sits from August. I can work from home three days a week so am happy for short mid week sits as well as long as you have a good wifi/internet signal! I have a fenced garden and 1 dog, I will care for your pet however you instruct me to but have experience crating and making up games as and when needed. I can also assist with basic puppy training and have dog reactivity experience.

“Mungo has spent two separate days with Janet and Bruce and clearly had a lovely time . They are so kind and I feel so happy to have found them. Thank you both so much . Mungo is looking forward to his holidays with you in August !”
“This was our first time using Rover and we were lucky enough to come across Fern and Dougie, her GoldenDoodle. Honey, our Cockerpoo, had a great time, and it was super seeing the pictures of their adventures. We have no hesitation in recommending Fern, and hope to book Honey in for boarding later in the year.”
“Brendon was great with chubs - he came home and slept the entire evening so must’ve had lots of stimulation! Thanks so much, and for all of the updates, would recommend for anyone :)”
“Sandra had Ria for a long day while I was working in London and was absolutely fantastic - professional, well organised, super communication. Ria loved her stay so much she didn't want to leave when I collected her. I felt at all times that Ria was in safe hands and being well looked after and I wouldn't hesitate to use Sandra's services again or recommend her to anyone else.”
“Charlie loves spending time with Harry and his family. They take such good care of him and we know that he is in safe hands when he visits, and often an adventure has already been planned. They clearly adore him, and want him to feel safe and have lots fun on his stay. Charlie has now stayed a couple of times and is so excited when he sees them - you can’t get a better review than that!”
About: We have both grown up with dogs that we have trained, lived and recently lost. We can work from home or have a dog-friendly office if owners are comfortable with that My partner works as a nurse so is home some days during the week. I can WFH whenever needed and also have a dog-friendly office. While we do have the odd weekly hobby, we are mostly only out for an hour or 2 and typically one of us is in the house at any time. We have a fully fenced garden and live in a lovely countryside village which is perfect to take dogs for a walk. We do have a small cat who we are gradually introducing to dogs, so we do ask that your dog is cat friendly. Right now we have no stair gate so the dog will have full roam of the house.
“Chubby always seems excited to go to Damarys, she keeps me updated and seems very knowledgable and aware of dog behaviour which is great! He’s always knackered when he comes back to us too so he must have lots of fun!”
“Austin was well looked after and loved he came back happy and excited and looks like he had a lovely time, I would definitely recommend Caroline and I know Austin will definitely want to go back again x”
“Responsive, responsible, knowledgeable, kind and friendly. Barra had a great day out with May (Ping Yan L.) and very much looks forward to staying with her again for longer next time! Thank you”

About: I have had dogs my entire life as my mother used to breed as I got older I used to help her. I have always owned a dog since the age of 13 and I am very confident around big dogs as well as being comfortable looking after puppies. I have experience with my own dogs in their senior years, administering medicine and also have trained my own puppies. I have children who go to school so am free most days to sit, check in or walk your dog/pets. I am available at the weekends but this may not be until after lunchtime. I can care for your pets in your home or take dogs out for walks. I do have my own dog and cat and am not currently offering to look after your pets at my own home at the moment, if this is something you are interested in I would first need to get to know your dog.
“Thank you Kaela for taking great care of our Ida. The photos are fab and it looks like she had a fantastic time with you and Toshi. She is sleeping already and most likely dreaming of another adventure with you and her new BFF!! Thank you so much. Jen”
“Our one year old cocker Frank recently spent a a couple of days with Claire & Ross. Frank tends to suffer from separation anxiety, however he very happily goes to Claire & Ross. We find Claire & Ross to be terrific hosts! Claire is soft & calm & Ross is jolly & commanding and very chilled, a great combination for looking after a lively anxious young dog. Ross took Frank on long walks along with his own dog & Frank had the run of the house which helped to make him feel and at home, so much better than kennels. I would definitely recommend Claire & Ross, in my opinion you won’t find better dog sitters!”
“Our dog absolutely loved staying with Hannah and Nalu!! Very quick responses and lots of updates throughout the day. Our dog is usually not very good with dogs, but Nalu made it really easy for him to adjust and have a blast☺️”

About: I have always had dogs in the family growing up. When I was a toddler and small child, my family had Mutley, a rescue spaniel, who was also known as Houdini! Following his passing, we had a small terrier, Alfie, who lived until he was 18! Then, at the turn of 2020, I rescued two Greek street dogs, Buddy and Bea, with my sister - they’re now 5 years old. Buddy and Bea often spend time with my parents who have vowed they don’t want another dog.. but love Buds & Bea! We had Alfie from a puppy and I was involved with his training with my father. Buddy and Bea were about 6 months old when they made their way to the UK. With my sister, I trained them at home in the garden - this was both toilet training and tricks! I work full time but predominantly from home, going into the office once or twice a week depending on what I have on. This means I have lots of time at home with the dogs and can take them out morning, lunch and noon. Generally, I play netball on a Saturday and Sunday but this only requires me to be out of the house for a few hours. So, those who have an animal staying with us, they must be ok being left alone for a couple of hours at a time. I have a totally enclosed and fenced garden with no escape route! This was essential as Bea often likes to find a way out! Whilst looking after your fur baby, I’d have Buddy and Bea stay with my parents so that your pet has my sole attention and focus. We have space to bring a crate if that’s preferred and we can discuss any sleeping arrangements which work for your little one.
“It was lovely to have a friendly face turn up to walk Teddy, and he really enjoyed his walks with Eli. Teds came back happy, and snoozed all afternoon. Her communication was fast, and she was flexible with her time when a last minute appointment came up. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Eli and will happily book her again!! Thank you xxx”
About: I have been caring for pets for 20+ years, including my own dog and looking after neighbours' and friends' dogs. I have experience with various breeds such as Chow Chows, Labradors, Jack Russell Terriers, Border Terriers, Cocker Spaniels, Dachshunds, English Bulldogs, Shih Tzu mixes, and Romanian rescues. I have trained my own puppy and am comfortable administering medication. I can handle multiple pets and have dealt with challenging behaviours, including helping my reactive rescue dog overcome her fears. While I don't have specific experience with special needs pets, my adaptability as a teacher allows me to provide excellent care. I can provide references from previous pet owners I have cared for. I have recently returned to work as a full-time teacher at a school in Girton. Therefore, I will not be at home during the day. However, I am still offering sitting services in the evenings and on weekends. Additionally, if you are comfortable with it, I am happy to have your pet stay at my house during the day. During the school holidays I will be able to stay at yours or have your pet at mine, where I will be at home during the day. During term time, you live somewhere with easy access to Girton, I am happy to house sit then too. I work full time, leaving for work at 7am but I do have a bit of time in the mornings. I also finish at 4pm so I also have time after work during the week. My weekends are quite free so I’d be more than happy to help out then, too! Additionally, I am more than happy to look after your furry friends during the school holidays. I ensure that the home is pet-proofed and secure, minimising any potential hazards. I follow the owner's instructions regarding feeding, exercise, and medication, maintaining their routine as closely as possible. I provide plenty of love, attention, and playtime to keep the pets happy and engaged. Additionally, I maintain open communication with the pet owner, providing regular updates and photos to give them peace of mind. We have a wonderful large garden which is secure as well as plenty of fantastic walking routes from our front door!

I am fun, energetic and always keen to help others! Pet care fits really naturally into my routine.

I have had animals my whole life and know the signs to look for stress etc. I am a student and rover was recommended by an old friend I am currently a student so many people refuse to hire me but I am happy to watch animals while at home I will provide walking, and enrichment as well as water, I have some generic dog food but if you have specifics to feed the dog feel free to bring that with you.
About: I’ve grown up with many different animals including dogs, rabbits, cats and guinea pigs. I have my own energetic dog. I have completed 1 year of work experience at a veterinary school hospital and worked with many different breeds of dogs. I’m known to be trust worthy, reliable and full of fun. I’m available from Monday - Friday from the hours of 8am - 8pm, with the occasional latest 10pm for dog sitting if needed. I would love to spend my spare time with animals. I have a driving license of 2 years with a car, I am happy to take them to many different places for walks. I am happy to take your dog(s) to a fully enclosed dog field with obstacle courses and a splash pool if they can swim. They will be dried off before bringing them back into your home.
“Being an anxious dog mum, planning someome new to look after Tod is hard! Niamh was booked very last minute so we had no time for introductions before she cared for Tod. Niamh was so lovely right from the request, I instantly felt comfortable. She followed all my instructions / requirements and I have one very happy doggo now🫶🫶 massive thank you!”
About: A bespoke dog walker who will become your dogs best friend! I have always been a dog lover since I was a little girl, growing up with family dogs from Jack Russell's to labradors to now having my very own big friendly giant Rusco, a Rottweiler/Bullmastiff. I will love your dog like my own and will meet any needs that you and your dog require. I am flexible and reliable and would love to help where I can with your dog whether that’s dog walking, just popping in to play or dog sitting at your house where your dog is in their own home to prevent any upset or unfamiliarity. I currently have lots of availability Monday-Friday, I am quite flexible at the moment due to reopening my own private dog walking business, so happy to help where I can. I live in a first floor flat with a balcony. I have access to a communal garden that I would take your dog to for a quick toilet break but I’d always make sure they are walked properly and well exercised. I’m more than happy to have your pet in my home. But I am also happy if you would like me to dog sit at your house, where your dog will be comfortable and in a familiar environment. I have lots of enrichment based games that I can do with your dogs which is a really good way to mentally stimulate them. I know this from doing them with my own dog. Mentally stimulating your dog as well as physically is a really good and important balance that your dog will benefit from!

“I am very happy to have found Kristina and Nick, they are both lovely and I knew I would feel comfortable leaving Phoebe with them - which is a big thing for me - I am very fussy about who I trust to look after my fur baby 🐾 Good communication and regular updates. Phoebe was well cared for and I have booked again! Thank you 😊”
“Charlie had the best time with Harry and his family. He came home very content and clearly had a great long walk & play time! Harry took the time to find out all about Charlie to ensure he had a comfortable stay. Communication is great and we feel at ease knowing our dog is in safe hands. We have more stays planned!”
“Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter!! From our initial meeting, it was obvious Ludo loved her, which immediately put me at ease. She has so much experience with animals, both professionally and personally, and it really shows. I received regular updates throughout the weekend, so I never had to worry. I actually felt a bit guilty picking him up because he was clearly having such a great time!😂 I will certainly be booking with her again and would highly recommend Wendy ☺️”
“Buttercup had the most wonderful time with Teresa on her first-ever non-family overnight boarding experience. She was so well looked after and I received fantastic photos of her enjoying herself.”
“Jane is great! She saved my trip and very kindly agreed to look after my two dogs last minute after someone else canceled. Jane's place is perfect for short and long term dog sitting - there is a dedicated place for them in the house and plenty of space in the garden to run around. Her retriever is gorgeous and super friendly. Jane sent me messages every morning and video updates during the day. When we came to pick them up, they didn't want to leave!😊”
“We couldn't have asked for anyone better to look after Sparky. May took incredible care of her and kept us updated throughout the stay with photos, videos and messages. Sparky clearly loved her time with May and looked so happy and settled in every update we received. May really understood what she needed and was very accommodating to Sparky's habits. We are so grateful for everything she did for Sparky and would recommend her to everybody, especially those looking for somebody with a great understanding of dogs and experience caring for elderly dogs. Thank you May!!”

“Terry was fantastic - took great care to make sure Ted had a good week with him, including asking questions beforehand about Ted’s likes & dislikes, and taking him on lots of great walks. Ted bonded really well with Terry, and it was good to know he was being so well cared for while I was away.”
“Bibiana is a fantastic dog sitter! She is very professional and loves animals. She took great care of my little dachshund during the Christmas holidays, and my dog was very happy. I recommend Bibiana to anyone looking for a kind and reliable dog sitter.”
“Jess was a great sitter. She made Orion feel at home. Orion suffered from separation anxiety white there, Jess communicated very well to make Orion feel comfortable. She kept me updated regularly and that made me feel very comfortable. If you looking for a sitter that will give your pet a home away from, book Jess. I'll definitely be booking her again.”

“Marcus and Cheryl were wonderful carrying for Goldi. From the first moment we met for greetings Goldi settled very well and was more than welcome. Marcus and Cheryl took care for every small detail, were extremely warm and loving for whole the period. Goldi got the best experience he could, he ate well, walk a lot and all those photos were heart warming! I will recommend to anyone to use Marcus and Cheryl as boarding for your dog, absolutely astonishing care and time with them. Thank you so much for everything! They were perfect for Goldi and let us have one less worries. Best luck with your service and I will absolutely be grateful to use it more in the near future.”

“This was Digbys first stay with Stephen and it all went really well. Initially Digby was a bit anxious and unsettled but soon settled in and Stephen kept me well informed and updated. Digby really enjoyed the company of Stephen’s Cockerpoo Sam. I felt reassured throughout that Digby was in safe hands and I’m sure I’ll be booking him again soon.”
