“Jackie and Amanda looked after our Westie Archie for over a week whilst we were away. They were absolutely fantastic and gave regular updates each day, it was clear Archie had an amazing time with them and their dogs. It was very reassuring to know he was happy and being cared for really well. We would definitely use Jackie again and recommend to anyone else. Thank you!”

“Another brilliant stay with Catherine and her family, thank you! Lots of lovely updates as always and Benji is already looking forward to his next visit. Thanks again!”
“Kellie and Andy were great and our black lab Alfie absolutely loved his time with them. They were very quick to reply and also asked questions to understand what Alfie needs in order to take best care of him. We got daily updates which were lovely - Alfie seemed so happy. It went so well that we’ve rebooked for our little boy to stay with them again. Would definitely recommend them, they are lovely 🐾 ♥️”
About: Both my wife and I grew up with dogs, have loved and looked after them our whole lives, and are the proud dog paw-rents of our miniature poodle called Walnut. Prior to getting a dog of our own, we spent years eagerly looking after dogs of our friends, family, and strangers who were kind enough to let us play with their furry friends. It is safe so say we are both highly experienced in looking after dogs, and have looked after breeds of all types and sizes over the years (Golden Retrievers, Poodles, Terriers, Dachshunds, Border Collies, Havanese, German Shepherds, French Bulldogs etc. etc. the list goes on!) We both now have very flexible jobs that allow us to work from home and give our dog and yours the love and attention they need throughout the day. We live in a large house with small garden, in a quiet leafy neighbourhood a 5 minute walk from Ravenscourt Park, and only a 1 minute walk away from Wendell Park. If we're lucky enough to look after your special friend we can assure you they will get plenty of walks, playtime, cuddles and attention throughout the day! I work full time from home, but have plenty of time in the day to take your furry friends for walks in the park and to make sure they're happy and looked after. Our large 5 bedroom home is dog friendly and safe, and includes a fenced garden. Our dog Walnut is very sweet and calm, and gets on very well with other dogs and people.

About: I have plenty of experience with cats. I previously lived in a house share with a rescued cat, who I helped care for daily. My mum has a cat, and I regularly look after him whenever my mum is on holiday or when they come to visit me. In addition, I often help neighbours by providing house-sitting services for their cats — feeding them, cleaning litter trays, and spending time playing with them to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for.

“Ellie was very good when I had to leave my two Yorkies home alone for 3 days over Christmas. Ellie came in in the morning to administer meds, walk and feed the 2 dogs. Then she returned twice more during the day, even on Christmas Day, to give meds and feed when necessary. i enjoyed received photo updates, and Ellie always put a little note with the photos. I would definitely use her again, especially as she is so local”
About: I grew up with cats and have looked after pedigree breeds (British Shorthair) as well as rescues. I absolutely adore cats and their inquisitive and playful nature, they really make me laugh.
About: Although I’m new to professional pet sitting, I’ve always been very comfortable around cats and have spent plenty of time caring for and interacting with them. I’m patient, attentive and respectful of their individual personalities, and I understand that some cats love attention while others need a little more space and time to feel comfortable. I’m reliable, caring and will treat your cat as if they were my own, making sure they’re happy, safe and well looked after while you’re away. I’m also very happy to follow your usual routines and instructions so that their time without you feels as normal and stress-free as possible.
“Thank you Julie for looking after our cat over the Christmas break while we were away. I believe Zuma definitely enjoyed her stay with you, and thank you for the picture and video updates.”
“Graeme did a fantastic job of looking after our two little cats. He provided daily updates and pictures and did a few extra bits without being asked like put the bins out which we were so grateful for. He instilled confidence straight away and he clearly loves animals! We will definitely be repeat customers..”
About: I've had my own cat, Milo, for 4 years now, he is truly part of the family. He has a very big personality, and, like most cats, he is convinced that he owns the house, and to be honest, he is right. We simply live here and follow his rules. Having Milo has taught me how much cats have their own little personalities, routines and ways of showing affection. I love getting to know each cat's unique character and making sure they feel happy, comfortable and cared for.

About: My names Kym and I have had dogs all my adult life, I have worked to a high level of obedience training with my dogs in the past. I have also been a dog first aider during this time. I currently have two small resident dogs. One that has been with me since a pup and the other is a rescue. Both dogs love the company of other pooches however my rescue due to his past is not a fan of humans. I work from home, so will be excited to have your little pup with me during the day and we can enjoy a nice lunchtime walk. Garden access is available all day long as your dog needs too! I have a fenced garden with large living space, your pup will have the company of two resident pooches to keep them company. I can use a crate if your pup needs this. Lots of toys and treats (if allowed) available too!! Cuddles also available all day long and I am happy to keep your schedule in place as much as possible.

About: We have both been around dogs for as long as I can remember and have cared for all kinds of personalities — from bouncy, energetic walkers to calm, cuddly sofa companions. Friends, family and neighbours have trusted us to walk, feed and look after their dogs, and we genuinely love spending time with them. We have my own rescue pup who is around 9 years old and happy to have company. We are reliable, patient and always make sure dogs feel safe, happy and relaxed whilst you are away. Whether your dog needs long sniffy walks, playtime, routine and structure, or just plenty of fuss and reassurance, they’ll be treated like one of our own. We have two children 8 and 14 who are very happy to throw and ball and give extra fuss. Both children understand the boundaries with unfamiliar dogs and we are careful to make sure that they are always supervised with your dogs. We offer home boarding in a relaxed, family environment where dogs are truly part of the household. We work opposite shifts meaning dogs are never left for long periods and always have company, routine and attention. We are very lucky to have various outdoor areas around our house that dogs can explore freely. It is secure so even on hot days where a walk isn’t possible, we have a large secure sheltered paddock where we can walk and play with the dogs. I am a wellbeing dog handler for Hertfordshire fire and rescue so I have had the best training from dogs trust in various areas and have up to date skills and knowledge from all up to date research. Daily walks/play and cuddles are absolutely non-negotiable. Your dog’s safety, comfort and happiness are our top priorities. Our home has ample space, including additional separate areas if a dog needs extra room, quiet time or a slower introduction. We have a 9-year-old dog, Rolo, who is playful, friendly and happy to have company with the right introduction. All introductions are done calmly and carefully, and dogs are never left unattended together. If needed, dogs can be comfortably separated in their own space. We follow routines closely, are careful with feeding, walks, doors and supervision, and we always provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your dog is safe, settled and well cared for.
About: My name is Kinga and like many people I grew up with dogs and have had dogs throughout my adult life. I love living with dogs, looking after them and simply being around them.I have experience of caring for dogs of various breeds such as Greyhounds, Golden Retrievers, Labradors, Labradoodle, German Shepherds, and Cane Corso, to name a few. As a dog owner I know how important it is to have your pet looked after by someone who is reliable, dependable and trustworthy and who will make your pet feel safe, comfortable and happy. I’m happy to help look after your pet/s whilst you go away or when you are at work. I’m patient with animals and confident with looking after dogs of all sizes and ages. I’m work from home and therefore will be around to look after your pet 24/7 and can be flexible to accommodate your pets needs. I love walks with the dogs and snuggles on the sofa. I have a medium size, secure garden where your pet can chill in the sun or have a playtime. The safety of your dog is paramount when out and about thus I am mindful what areas and walks I chose.
About: Available week days and weekends to look after your dog or cat. Love walking / running and socialising. Previously owned two dogs, but I have for many for friends. Unfortunately unable to have one full time due to our work in London but keen to help you when needed! Please give me notice so I can make arrangements! Pet care fits into my weekly routine as I am frequently exercising (walking / running). I work from home so will not leave your dog or cat unattended. Enjoy staying in, socialising with friends and working out. Have an enclosed garden and live on a quiet road. So I can provide outdoor space to your dog. Own a car and able to drive for emergency assistance if ever required. I also live close to outdoor fields and trails which are great for long walks.
About: We’re Alice and Josh - a calm, reliable married couple. We’ve grown up with dogs. We currently have a friendly rescue Lurcher called Mona who we trained ourselves. We’re experienced with walks, enrichment, basic training and play. We work from home and love getting out before work, at lunch and after work for nice walks. We are keen to welcome more dogs into our home and introduce Mona to some friends. We work from home most week days and have flexible jobs. One of us is always at home with our Lurcher Mona. We go out for a morning, lunchtime and evening walk and love getting outside into nature around Sawston. We do enrichment and training as much as we can. We have a small secure fenced garden. We have plenty of nice walks on our doorstep around Sawston including Orchard Park, Babraham Forest and the Whittlesford loop. We live down a quiet driveway. We have a large open plan living room kitchen which is where Mona sleeps and at least one of us works, with space for another dog. Dogs are allowed on our sofa.
“I’ve never met such loving sitters! And also in such a great and safe place. They kept us updated on the Rover Card and sent us lots of wonderful pictures. The house is beautiful and their little toy poodle Milo is also such a fantastic host as well! Thank you so much guys! 10/10! Noodle had an amazing time x 100% recommended”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life, with two chihuahuas, a border collie, golden retriever and Jack Russell in my family, so I’m very comfortable with dogs of different sizes, personalities and energy levels. I am particularly familiar with and interested in working and herding breeds such as collies and shepherds. Over the past five years, I’ve also looked after dogs for friends and neighbours, including walking, feeding, playing with them and making sure they feel happy and comfortable while their owners are away. I currently share a retired military Belgian malinois, Charlie, with my aunt and uncle, which has given me even more experience with intelligent, energetic and active dogs. He stays with my aunt and uncle on any days that I’m dog sitting, so he won’t be present at the home while I’m caring for your dog. He may join us on walks if this is something you are happy with. I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual routine, whether that means energetic walks and playtime or plenty of cuddles and company. I’ll treat your dog with the same care and attention I’d want for my own, and I’m also happy to provide regular updates while they’re in my care I work flexibly from home and have plenty of time for walks and playtime. I am available all day Tuesday to Thursday. I will have no other dogs at home during these times. Pets will be under my supervision at all times. I have a secure, fenced garden and I only look after one dog at a time. I don't let dogs off lead until I can be confident in their recall with me. This will often involve taking them to a secure field after getting to know them for a while, and practicing recall. I keep a well stocked canine first aid kit at home.

About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I understand that every dog has its own routine, personality, and needs, and I always adapt my care accordingly. What sets me apart is my calm, patient, and responsible approach. I am especially confident with: • Senior dogs who need gentle walks, medication reminders, and close observation • Anxious or shy dogs, giving them time to feel comfortable and safe • Puppies, supporting basic routines such as feeding schedules, toilet breaks, and leash manners I provide regular photo and video updates, so owners feel reassured while they are away. Safety, trust, and respecting the dog’s usual routine are my top priorities. I care for pets in their own home, where they feel most relaxed and secure. I am available for daytime visits, regular walks, and overnight stays in my home. I plan my day to ensure dogs receive timely walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship, while maintaining their usual routine as closely as possible. I prioritise safety, trust, and a calm environment. I follow the owner’s instructions exactly, maintaining their dog’s usual routine for feeding, exercise, and rest. I make sure the home remains clean, organised, and safe, removing any potential hazards and ensuring that pets feel comfortable and relaxed.

For the first two years of her life we attended gun dog training together so I have a good understanding of how to properly look after and train a puppy.

I just have a permanent slot Tuesday and Wednesday, but could change with notice. I am very flexible and can care for your pet however you feel comfortable. My fur baby roams my house and sits on my bed and sofa, I can meet your needs.
About: I have been lucky enough to share my life with pets since I was little. My family currently consists of me, my partner, our two cats and two gerbils (so those relationships need managing well!) I regularly look after other animals as well including cats, kittens, dogs, puppies, and rabbits. The tasks I do when caring for them include feeding, playing, cleaning, cleaning up after, walking, and cuddling! I am attentive and always aim to ensure the pets are healthy, and feel loved and happy. I work from home and my schedule is very flexible and determined by me, so I have plenty of time to set aside to care for your animal(s)! I am adaptable, so should you wish me come to your house to care for your pet(s) I will ensure I have a full list of any requirements so they are well cared for. If you wish for your pet to stay with me in my home, they can socialise with my fur babies or I can keep them in separate rooms from my cats if necessary. If you have a dog that sleeps in a crate I am happy to accommodate that too.
About: I'm a remote worker with a flexible schedule, which means I can commit properly to house sits. There's no rushing back and forth, and no leaving pets alone for long stretches. Since I work from wherever I am, your home and animals get consistent company and attention throughout the day. I grew up around animals of all kinds, including dogs, cats, horses, rabbits and more, so caring for pets isn't new to me, it's second nature. On the dog side specifically, I've got hands on experience across the full size spectrum, from sausage dogs to Great Danes, so whether you've got a lap sized companion or a gentle giant, I know how to look after them properly, from exercise needs to feeding routines and everything in between. I have my own car, so I'm happy to travel to sits further afield, handle vet runs or emergencies if needed. I also offer cleaning as an additional service ahead of your arrival home. I'm happy to provide references on request. I'm an active person, so pet care fits naturally into my day. I like to start with a walk before my working day begins, then fit in another towards the end of the day, adjusting timing and length depending on each pet's exercise needs. Throughout the working day itself, since I'm remote, pets have company and I'm on hand for feeding, playtime, or anything else that comes up. Whether I'm in a pet owner's home or my own, my priority is keeping to the animal's normal routine as closely as possible. Changes in environment can be unsettling for pets, so I make a point of sticking to their usual feeding times, walk schedule, and any habits they're used to, rather than imposing my own. Before a sit, I like to go through everything with the owner: feeding amounts, any medication, behavioural quirks, vet details, and emergency contacts, so I'm fully prepared and know exactly what to do if something unexpected comes up. I treat the home with the same care and respect I'd want shown to my own, keeping it secure, tidy, and exactly as I found it. I'm happy to send regular updates and photos during a sit, so owners have peace of mind while they're away. And since I have my own car, I can get to a vet quickly if there's ever an emergency.

“Arthur had the time of his life staying with Teresa. He is often nervous around new people but Teresa was really good with him and he came out of his shell almost immediately. I was sent regular updates and pictures. I will definitely recommend her, and will use her again when needed.”
“Jack had such a lovely holiday with Lauren, we were worried he wouldn't want to come home! Lauren kept us up to date with video of him having lots of fun with other dogs and looking quite at home and relaxed in Lauren's home. Highly recommend!”
“Another brilliant stay with Catherine and her family, thank you! Lots of lovely updates as always and Benji is already looking forward to his next visit. Thanks again!”
“Kellie and Andy were great and our black lab Alfie absolutely loved his time with them. They were very quick to reply and also asked questions to understand what Alfie needs in order to take best care of him. We got daily updates which were lovely - Alfie seemed so happy. It went so well that we’ve rebooked for our little boy to stay with them again. Would definitely recommend them, they are lovely 🐾 ♥️”
About: Both my wife and I grew up with dogs, have loved and looked after them our whole lives, and are the proud dog paw-rents of our miniature poodle called Walnut. Prior to getting a dog of our own, we spent years eagerly looking after dogs of our friends, family, and strangers who were kind enough to let us play with their furry friends. It is safe so say we are both highly experienced in looking after dogs, and have looked after breeds of all types and sizes over the years (Golden Retrievers, Poodles, Terriers, Dachshunds, Border Collies, Havanese, German Shepherds, French Bulldogs etc. etc. the list goes on!) We both now have very flexible jobs that allow us to work from home and give our dog and yours the love and attention they need throughout the day. We live in a large house with small garden, in a quiet leafy neighbourhood a 5 minute walk from Ravenscourt Park, and only a 1 minute walk away from Wendell Park. If we're lucky enough to look after your special friend we can assure you they will get plenty of walks, playtime, cuddles and attention throughout the day! I work full time from home, but have plenty of time in the day to take your furry friends for walks in the park and to make sure they're happy and looked after. Our large 5 bedroom home is dog friendly and safe, and includes a fenced garden. Our dog Walnut is very sweet and calm, and gets on very well with other dogs and people.
“J was the perfect dog sitter for my Italian greyhound, Tofu! He made me feel completely at ease with leaving him for the weekend and kept me updated with photos. Really responsive on message and genuinely an 5 star experience overall. Would definitely recommend!”
“Sarah was great. Stanley, our cocker spaniel, had a wonderful time and we loved seeing the photos and videos that Sarah sent on almost a daily basis. He’s was exhausted when we got him home 😊”
“Otto had a great experience and we were so happy with our Rover host. Excellent care, communication from a host who really treated our dog like their own. Would really recommend.”
“Buttercup had a wonderful time boarding with Dajana, and Dajana's communication was brilliant: it was lovely to receive updates on all the fun things Buttercup got up to. She clearly felt very much at home and was very well looked after.”
“May is simply amazing with our dog Sunny. She is superb in communications and sent us loads of video and picture updates throughout the day. She is also a qualified trainer and extremely kind and patient. Highly recommend May to anyone who wishes to have a dog sitter!”
“Cannot imagine any family or friend I would trust with taking care of my dog, with the same peace of mind when she stays at Lauren and Matt’s place. Although we’ve become friends at this point. Thanks again guys!”
“Another lovely stay with Rocio- her care an attention to Coco during his stay is wonderful and she uploads lovely pictures of him having fun with his pals! Would recommend- a real home from home!”
“We have been very lucky, that Fiona had time to look after Coops. She is the most professional and caring dog sitter we had. We got daily pictures and updates, she took our golden boy for long walks to keep him busy and I can tell he loved staying with Fiona so much! Very glad we found her!”
“Excellent!! We used Steven for the first time and he exceeded our expectations. He was friendly, accommodating and a good communicator. We’re so thankful for his care of our Mika and would use him again. Thank you Steven! 😊”

“Jess has been looking after Elvis for several months now and has always been an amazing home for him to go to. He loves spending time with Jess and Pepper, and Jess goes above and beyond to look after the dogs under her card, even renting out space for the dogs to have their own private playtime as well as giving elvis a wash when he’s got a bit too mucky! Thank you Jess for everything you do, we would highly recommend 😊”
