“Jan & Bruce are brilliant, very caring and made sure my dog Ted was happy and safe. He had a lovely time with them, lots of walks and games in their garden, and snoozing on the sofa. Great communication and updates on how Ted was - we will definitely be back to see them again soon! Thanks J&B!”
“As a repeat customer of Sandra's, I would not trust anyone else more. She is always kind and loving towards my Frenchie. She took great care of him during a heatwave that he tends to struggle with. Communication is always superb with Sandra. I highly recommend her!”
“Papaya loved her time with Sarah. I was updated regularly with photos and messages. Sarah and her family are absolutely great and I am so happy I found d an absolutely great sitter for my dog.”
“Lovely family who love and understand dogs! Mango and truffles really enjoyed their time with Harry. There were regular updates, photos, and lots of walks. They’ve also dog proofed the furniture so you can rest assured plenty dog cuddles will be had! We are very happy with Harry and his family’s care for our boys.”
“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 😊”
“Thank you Teresa for looking after Bess so well again and having her stay for her first night with you. ❤️ it was so great to have the photos come through and to know she was in safe hands. Thank you.”
“Lilah thoroughly enjoyed her stay with Francisco Jr O. It is very clear that Kiko loves all the animals that he looks after and treats them as one of his own - even dressing them up to match the family at Christmas. Communication was excellent with regular photo updates. I would highly recommend and will definitely be using Kiko’s services again.”
“May was absolutely wonderful! Our shiba stayed with her for 10 days. She took great care of our pup. May sent lots of updates including a daily schedule, photos, and videos. May is also a dog trainer and helped to reduce how much our dog pulls on the leash. I’ll definitely book her again when I need a dogsitter.”
“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!😊”
“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!!”
“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 ☺️”
“Adam and Shannon were great with our miniature schnauzer Tess. We had a pre-visit which was really helpful to chat and see how she would settle. Communication was good before and whilst we were away. Tess was very happy on our return so we will definitely be booking again.”
“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!”
About: I’ve had a dog ever since I was a baby, I currently have a little Jack Russell who is very friendly and well behaved. I have dog sat several times for friends and family and regularly dog sit for friends nearby who also have a Jack Russell. She has stayed with me for periods of up to 2 weeks at a time.

I will keep you updated with photos too Doggy day care hours— drop off between 7-9am— pick up between 4-6pm Out of hours can be accommodated at an additional rate please contact me and enquire I have worked from home for 15 years so have plenty of time for pet stays. Your pet is welcome to roam from the bungalow to the garden or come sit in my wooden work studio in the garden as my Jack Russell does. We have a large wooded area nearby for walks and a very friendly community of dog owners here. The dogs regularly socialise on the large village green I have a good sized garden which is fenced and gated. We also have a ring doorbell for security. My jack Russell Doris is very friendly and well behaved. We would both love to welcome furry friends for stay overs
“Dora has looked after Nala a few times and Nala has been very happy in her company. Nala isn’t the easiest dog and Dora cares for her as if she was her own. Would highly recommend Dora!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Sam had another brilliant stay with Golnar. We could tell from the updates that he was happy and settled, and very well looked after by Golnar and her husband. Lots of play and attention and Sam's next stay is already booked in. Thank you!”
“Chelle was wonderful with my dog and very flexible with pick up and drop off times. She also sent regular updates, pictures and videos. This is the first time I worried my dog would rather stay there than come home! Highly recommended.”

“Natalie was very caring to our cat who is elderly and has diabetes. He is on a slightly more complicated feeding regime and needs injections and oral meds twice a day, which she managed competently. She left our home clean and tidy and we came home to a happy, chilled out cat. Would defineteley recommend and use again.”
“Our cat was fed and happy when we got back and we got plenty of lovely piccies showing she was doing well while we were away. Philippa and David also happily rescued a parcel for us that the postie left out in the rain! Thanks so much you guys :)”
“Fantastic experience. Reliable and responsible. Put at ease the moment we booked and could relax on holiday knowing Gemma was taking care of the cat so well. We shall be booking again and again”
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!
“Shadwa kindly came ahead of the booking to meet my 3 kittens and alleviate my concerns that they may not be happy; they loved her and her husband! Shadwa kept me updated with videos and messages during her time with the kittens. I came home to 3 happy kittens. Highly recommend!”
“Marie is very loving and caring, and we knew from the first moment that we left our furry baby in the best hands. She is highly adaptive, flexible, proactive, and thoughtful when it comes to caring for pets. Our Stella has never been more relaxed when we returned from our holiday, thanks to Marie's visits. We are sure that if she is available, we would love to have her services again! We are beyond grateful for everything she has done to keep our little Stella happy and cared for.”
“This is the first time we have used a sitter for our four cats 3 of which are over 15 years old. Alison came for a meet and greet before the booking, and our cats took to Alison right away (which is unusual for a couple of them). We booked Alison to come 3 times while we were away we also had a cat cam to keep an eye on them as well, just in case Alison had not seen them. One of our cats was sick, we messaged Alison to go and check the cats and asked her to clean it up as with the heat it would not have waited until her next visit. Alison went in and clean it up for us - nothing has been too much for her she has a lovely personality and all of our cats really took to her. We defiantly will be using Alison again - would have given her 10 stars - would highly recommend Alison”
About: I have owned cats since I was a very small child, I have grown up with more than 4 cats, and they bring me so much joy, I am happy to care for more than just cats, and dogs, I have experience in taking care of a dog as well.
“A wonderful experience! Eli is a calm and knowledgeable catsitter. We had regular updates and photos to keep us feeling reassured. Cosmo was relaxed and happy when we got home. ”
“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!”
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.
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.
About: I have had my own dog for 4 years and through her, I have met dogs of all shapes and sizes. I am very knowledgeable and knows signs of illness and stress in dogs. I am good at training and I am patient. I go to school and can look after your pets before and after I go to school. On the weekend, I am available most of the 2 days. I have a big fenced garden for your dog to run around in. I love all dogs and will look after them like my own.

“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.”
“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.”
“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!”

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.
“At short notice, I was able to book Ping Yan to look after our dog three times over half term for a full day. She was very professional, friendly and caring and I felt 100% confidence in her. She kept contact throughout the day sending videos and information about how our dog was doing, which was great. On the first day, we were stuck in London and got back much later than we had initially anticipated. Ping Yan was very understanding and kept telling us not to worry as we waited on delayed trains to get back to Cambridge. She made us feel very reassured which really helped. I can’t imagine that anyone would be anything but overjoyed at the way Ping looks after dogs so you have nothing to worry about with her. She was also very punctual whenever I texted her to say that we’d be downstairs in a few minutes to meet her.”
“Hayley is fantastic with dogs, and it’s clear she has a natural talent for working with them. Our young lab spent the day with her and came home absolutely happy and content. We would strongly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and capable dog sitter.”

“Kaela and Toshie were amazing hosts to Jessie and she's had an absolute blast staying with them over the last few weeks. Kaela was very understanding and attentive to Jess's sensitive tum and occasional nervousness around other new dogs. The latter didn't last long however and we were spoilt with loads of pics of Jess having a fantastic time with her troupe of new best buddies and she's now a very confident doggle. She also had every comfort of home staying with Kaela and Toshie and was always sad to be leaving in the evenings. We've had so much peace of mind leaving Jess with Kaela and Toshie and we couldn't recommend them highly enough.”
“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!”

“Zoe excelently took care of Alex like if they knew each other since ages. Alex came happy and relaxed and we are very grateful for all her care and attention. Thank you, Zoe! You are a star!”
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.
About: I have cared for two dogs for 18 years of my life - a Jack Russel named Ralph and a Collie cross Lab named Martha.

I graduated from the University of Lincoln this year with a first class with honours degree in Animal Behaviour and Welfare. I cared for and trained several dogs through the university. I further worked full time at a Doggy Day Care for 4 months - walking all breeds and sizes!! Currently, I am studying MSc Clinical Animal Behaviour at Lincoln, with hopes of becoming an accredited clinical animal behaviourist. I am currently completing this Masters by attending lectures every Monday and Tuesday. I am looking to work between Wednesdays and Fridays as this best fits my study schedule. Within an owner’s home, I will follow all instructions provided, keeping their pets in a safe environment at all times and only using positive reinforcement techniques.

Im currently working a 0 hour contract at a school, while caring for my parents. Therefor I'm more available in school holiday times and weekends.

I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding instructions, walking preferences, and any medical or behavioural needs. In my home, pets have a calm, clean, and secure environment with plenty of space, a fenced garden, supervision, and enrichment. In an owner’s home, I’m respectful and reliable, keeping everything as it was left and maintaining the pet’s normal routine to minimise stress. I keep doors, gates, and leads secure at all times, avoid unfamiliar risks, and provide regular updates so owners can feel confident their pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

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!
“Betty had another great walk with William. When he arrived she was very excited and went running up to see him, which was very reassuring. He kept me updated throughout the walk and sent some photos. Another great service.”

“Jan & Bruce are brilliant, very caring and made sure my dog Ted was happy and safe. He had a lovely time with them, lots of walks and games in their garden, and snoozing on the sofa. Great communication and updates on how Ted was - we will definitely be back to see them again soon! Thanks J&B!”
“Papaya loved her time with Sarah. I was updated regularly with photos and messages. Sarah and her family are absolutely great and I am so happy I found d an absolutely great sitter for my dog.”
“Lovely family who love and understand dogs! Mango and truffles really enjoyed their time with Harry. There were regular updates, photos, and lots of walks. They’ve also dog proofed the furniture so you can rest assured plenty dog cuddles will be had! We are very happy with Harry and his family’s care for our boys.”
“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 😊”
“Thank you Teresa for looking after Bess so well again and having her stay for her first night with you. ❤️ it was so great to have the photos come through and to know she was in safe hands. Thank you.”
“May was absolutely wonderful! Our shiba stayed with her for 10 days. She took great care of our pup. May sent lots of updates including a daily schedule, photos, and videos. May is also a dog trainer and helped to reduce how much our dog pulls on the leash. I’ll definitely book her again when I need a dogsitter.”
“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!😊”
“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!!”
“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 ☺️”
About: I’ve had a dog ever since I was a baby, I currently have a little Jack Russell who is very friendly and well behaved. I have dog sat several times for friends and family and regularly dog sit for friends nearby who also have a Jack Russell. She has stayed with me for periods of up to 2 weeks at a time. You can expect your dog to be well cared for, walked, fed (including any necessary medication) and to be made part of the family during their stay. I will keep you updated with photos too Doggy day care hours— drop off between 7-9am— pick up between 4-6pm Out of hours can be accommodated at an additional rate please contact me and enquire I have worked from home for 15 years so have plenty of time for pet stays. Your pet is welcome to roam from the bungalow to the garden or come sit in my wooden work studio in the garden as my Jack Russell does. We have a large wooded area nearby for walks and a very friendly community of dog owners here. The dogs regularly socialise on the large village green I have a good sized garden which is fenced and gated. We also have a ring doorbell for security. My jack Russell Doris is very friendly and well behaved. We would both love to welcome furry friends for stay overs
“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.”
“Chelle was wonderful with my dog and very flexible with pick up and drop off times. She also sent regular updates, pictures and videos. This is the first time I worried my dog would rather stay there than come home! Highly recommended.”
About: I have cared for two dogs for 18 years of my life - a Jack Russel named Ralph and a Collie cross Lab named Martha. When I was 16, obtained a Level 3 qualification in Animal Management at Shuttleworth College. Here, I acquired husbandry skills for a wide range of animals such as reptiles and exotics to goats and wallabies. I graduated from the University of Lincoln this year with a first class with honours degree in Animal Behaviour and Welfare. I cared for and trained several dogs through the university. I further worked full time at a Doggy Day Care for 4 months - walking all breeds and sizes!! Currently, I am studying MSc Clinical Animal Behaviour at Lincoln, with hopes of becoming an accredited clinical animal behaviourist. I am currently completing this Masters by attending lectures every Monday and Tuesday. I am looking to work between Wednesdays and Fridays as this best fits my study schedule. Within an owner’s home, I will follow all instructions provided, keeping their pets in a safe environment at all times and only using positive reinforcement techniques.
“These guys are amazing Figs 2nd visit and Ringos first so accommodating and the boys loved it ❤️ it was last minute as family emergency and gave plenty of updates and knowing the boys were safe was great comfort to me, can't recommend enough”
“Moose had a wonderful stay with Lauren. He adored the whole family and was well looked after. We were regularly updated on how he was doing. Thank you!”
About: Plenty of space in the house, toys, fenced in field next to the garden. I have had dogs since 2008 when I had my first Border Collie x and I now own a 9 month old German Shepherd cross who can either play or be kept separate. I am self-employed and sometime go away for work but usually am around the house/garden/farm so will be available to supervise pets at almost all hours I have a fenced field especially for exercise and dogs will be kept on leads when going from the house through the garden. Dogs can either be kept to their specified schedule or fit in with ours.
“Stella was an incredible sitter for our 3-year-old golden, Breck! She sent lots of photos, gave plenty of updates, and gave him so much attention and exercise. I could tell she and her partner loved looking after him and I will definitely be using them again when we travel. Highly recommend!”
“Rocio took great care of our dog during an overnight stay. She has a big backyard and plenty of toys to keep the dogs entertained. Our dog instantly took a liking to her and was very reluctant to come back home ?”
