“We had full confidence in Jackie and Amanda the moment we met them. They are obviously experienced and genuine animal lovers. They took care of our treasured Cocker Spaniel Louis for 10 days whilst we were abroad and kept us fully updated with photos and messages each day which gave us complete peace of mind.

“This was our first time using Rover.com as we have been lucky enough to have friends and family members look after our 11 year old cockapoo Rosie in the past. I was a little nervous to leave her with someone new however, I got in touch with Leigh and after a brief chat we took Rosie to meet her at her home. Leigh and her family were welcoming and lovely and keen to know Rosie’s specific needs. She stayed with Leigh for 6 nights and we had daily updates and photos which reassured us and put our minds at rest. Rosie seemed perfectly happy and settled with Leigh and her family in their home. Communication was prompt and regular and when we picked Rosie up, Leigh seemed genuinely attached to Rosie and it seemed like that had both had a lovely time together. We would use Leigh again without a doubt and would recommend her highly to anyone who is need of a dog sitter.”

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!!”
About: Iv owned two pugs , I currently have a Frenchie and Labrador 😁 im willing to look after any doggy who needs some love while their owners are away. I’m a relaxed, caring, and reliable dog lover who treats every dog like one of my own. While you’re away, your furry friend will receive plenty of love, attention, exercise, and cuddles in a safe, happy home. I’m currently on maternity leave, so I’m home throughout the day and can provide lots of supervision and company. When my partner is home, we enjoy taking the dogs on long walks, countryside adventures, and fun outings. We also love taking them in the car for new experiences! Our home is very dog-friendly, with a large secure garden where dogs can run, play, and relax. I understand that accidents can happen, and I want every dog to feel comfortable and at home during their stay.
“Lukie had stayed with Danuta before and had had a great time. When we saw that she was available for the time of our holiday, we asked to book with her right away! Once again, we are deeply grateful for the amazing care she and her family gave Lukie and their companionship to him. Always prompt in her communication with us, and she also sent us several pictures on a daily basis so we could stay informed of Lukie’s amazing walks! When we picked Lukie up he was of course happy to see us but he was also very calm, which reassured us he had felt comfortable at Danuta’s home. Thanks so much for such great care!!! Hopefully we can make it work again :-)”
“I couldn’t have asked for more amazing pet sitters than Miriam and Theo! From the very beginning, they made me feel completely at ease knowing my babies were in such safe, caring, and loving hands. The updates, attention, and genuine care they showed meant the world to me, and it was so clear my boys were happy and comfortable the entire time. A very special thank you as well to their boy Milo for being such an incredible friend and companion during their stay, i could tell they absolutely adored him! It’s rare to find people who treat your pets like family, and I am beyond grateful for everything they did. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would without a single doubt. I would recommend Miriam and Theo to absolutely anyone looking for someone trustworthy, kind, and truly wonderful with animals.”

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.

I would definitely use her again, especially as she is so local”

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.
“Laura was a great cat sitter, followed our instructions that we left for her around Jamu's diet, kitty litter etc and watered the plants while we were away. Won't hesitate to book Laura again in the future”
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: 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.

I would highly recommend!!. 🙂 Thanks again!!, Lydia”

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.

“Samantha looked after my 6 month old puppy for daycare and Poppy had an amazing time! We did a call beforehand so I could tell her everything she needed to know and communication was excellent throughout. I got some lovely photos of the day too :) would 100% recommend.”
About: I have had both cats and dogs in the past, from Akita X Ridgeback, English Bulldog, Husky, Whippet X Saluki X Collie, as well as a lovely cat for 10 years. Dogs have ranged from puppies, young (cheeky and teething) dogs to elderly, so I have experience with all ages! I absolutely adore both cats and dogs amd enjoy training with treats and taking them for walks. Unfortunately, with travelling into the office twice a week, it's not feasible for me to have a pet of my own now but I would love to look after your fur baby and treat him/her like my own. They'd get lots of cuddles and attention! I currently work full-time and work from home Wed-Fri. I would love some company during the day and would love to look after your fur baby! I have a small garden and a very large park around a 2 minute walk from me to take them for a walk at lunch time. I'll treat them like my own and give them all the attention and cuddles they need. I have a small enclosed garden at the back. If you have any specific requests in regards to looking after your pet, please let me know and I can accommodate.
“Fiona and her family are brilliant dog sitters. Brilliant comms, and really friendly. Paddy had a brilliant time in a lovely and secured home. He came back tired and happy! Couldn’t recommend more!”
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 me to walk, feed and look after their dogs, and I genuinely love spending time with them. We have my own rescue pup who is around 7 years old and happy to have company. We are reliable, patient and always make sure dogs feel safe, happy and relaxed while their owners 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 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 working 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.
“Anna, Thank you so much for your care and attention in looking after Ruby. She absolutely loved being with you, so relaxed and chilled out and being the first time away from us, absolutely amazing!! Thank you again and looking forward to using your services again.”

About: Hello, I'm Polly, and I love cats and dogs! I have grown up with cats my whole life and am a cat mum to a chunky, beautiful Lilac British Shorthair called Herb. He is very spoiled and is the king of the house. I also have experience with caring for dogs too through family pets and would be more than happy to drop in to care for your dog and take them on walks when needed. I am an events manager for a children's charity and mainly work from home, so I can be flexible with visits.
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.
About: I've had my dog for 8 years (she's a gorgeous black lab!) and have taken care of her since she was a puppy. 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. Of course it goes without saying that plenty of love, cuddles, enrichment play and walks are also super important, something which I also have plenty of experience in! In particular my dog loves to play hide and seek with her toys around our house! I work fully remotely so I'm really able to cater to your pets needs and keep them company so they don't get lonely. I am very used to the routine of having a dog/pet so feel very comfortable with getting up early to let them out, taking them for a walk first thing in the morning etc. I can be super flexible with my job so I really can adopt your routine to keep your dog happy and calm with the consistency they're used to. I have a secure garden with a fence around the perimeter. There is a stream at the bottom but this is also fenced off securely.
“Our pup Kina had a great couple of walks with Ffion! She was very easy to communicate with and was flexible to fit our schedule. Kina obviously loves her walks with Ffion and we have no reservations having her look after Kina in the future.”
About: I work part-time so I am very flexible. I have experience walking and looking after a variety of dog breeds for family members and friends (including: border collie, dachshund, Dogue de Bordeaux). I own a border collie so I am comfortable with high energy dogs. I have experience volunteering at dog centres across South East Asia, walking and caring for multiple dogs at one time. I’m currently working part-time, I am available daytime a few days a week. I can also be available for evenings or longer stays. I have a car if needed to transport your dog for walks. I am happy using crates if your dog is comfortable in one. I am happy to meet up prior to walking your dog to gain trust and make sure the dog feels comfortable.
About: I have grown up with animals all of my life. Lots of experience with young and older dogs, as well as cats. I have lots of experience in pet sitting and dog walking and this includes small or large dogs as well as puppies. Also have lots of knowledge on pet health as my mum works within a veterinary practice. I usually work from home Monday - Friday so am very flexible in terms of free time. I have capacity to work wherever but also to take time out for dog walks etc. I will always listen and take on board any requests and pet needs to ensure the safety of all animals in my care.

About: I may not have formal “professional” experience yet, but I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life, from pugs to German Shepherds, and have always loved caring for them. I’ve looked after my own two dogs, who are 13 and 8 years old, so I’m very comfortable with the day-to-day care, routines and different needs that come with looking after dogs. I’m hoping this is the beginning of a future career working with animals, as my long-term dream is to become fully qualified and eventually have my own doggy daycare. I’m excited to gain more experience, meet lots of lovely dogs and, most importantly, make sure every dog I look after feels happy, safe and well cared for 🐾 I’m currently working full time but work from home Mondays and Fridays. My weekends are free and I can usually be available in the evenings too :) I am only able to to have one pet in my own home as I live with my parents, but if offering care in your house I will treat it with the utmost respect and according to whatever rules you set!
About: What sets me apart is my flexibility and genuine love for animals. I work from home, so I can provide care throughout the day, including for pets that need extra attention or companionship. I'm also able to drive, making it easy for me to travel to your home. I've cared for pets with separation anxiety, high-energy dogs that need long walks, and pets that require more frequent care and supervision. I'll always make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away. Working from home allows me to provide flexible, attentive care throughout the day. Whether your pet needs multiple walks, regular playtime, companionship, or extra supervision, I can easily adapt to their routine. I understand that some pets experience separation anxiety, so I'm happy to spend extra time with them to help them feel calm, safe, and comfortable while you're away. Every pet receives plenty of love, patience, and individual attention. While I'm unable to host pets in my own home because I have a cat, I'm happy to care for your pet in the comfort of their own home. Staying in a familiar environment helps reduce stress and keeps your pet in their usual routine. I'll make sure they receive plenty of attention, playtime, walks (if needed), and lots of love while you're away.

About: Hi I’m Evie, a caring, reliable and experienced pet sitter who loves all animals ! 🐶🐱🐹 I have a dog and a cat of my own and have had lots of different animals throughout my life. I also have previous pet-sitting experience, and my sister is a veterinary nurse, so I’ve grown up around animals and understand how important their care and wellbeing is. I’m happy to offer dog walking, home visits, pet sitting and overnight stays, and I’m always happy to work around your pet’s individual routine and needs. I’ll treat your pets as my own and keep you updated with plenty of photos while you’re away! ❤️🐾 I work 4 days a week, usually from 8am–6pm, but I’m very flexible around my working hours. I’m happy to visit before or after work, and I’m also available for overnight stays. i have 3 days off each week, so I can offer plenty of availability on those days for walks, visits and longer stays. I’m always happy to discuss your pet’s routine and work out what suits you both best! I know how important it is for pets to feel comfortable in their own home, so I always try to keep their usual routine as much as possible. I’ll treat your home with the same care and respect as I would my own, and I’ll take the time to build trust with your pets so they feel relaxed and happy while you’re away. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos so you know they’re safe and being well looked after
About: I have always looked after animals, stray cats who need feeding, or my friends elderly dog. Being a primary teacher, I have experience in caring for animals and children, but pets are definitely easier! I am a supply teacher so can be very flexible with my schedule. 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'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.
About: Hi Everyone, I know how important it is to have your furry family members looked after when you’re away from home. It can be a very anxious time. I decided to offer a dog sitting service so I could help other owners like me have a trusted and experienced animal lover look after their dogs with the love and care they deserve. Speaking from experience, when you're away from home, you want to know your fur babies are being loved and treated as if you were there! My mum, Jackie has joined me on this venture and so no matter what, we will always be available to help! We both work remotely in Finance and luckily have extremely flexible hours to suit your needs. We have 4 cats of our own (Luther, Wilbur, Phoebe and Doris). We rarely ever call them by their names as we’re always talking silly with them! Luther is a diabetic so we’re experienced with administering medication and injections. We also have 2 dogs that are rescues from Romania! I’ve previously volunteered at Blue Cross helping the various cats and kittens - such a memorable experience! We’re happy to cover Baldock and many surrounding areas so do get in touch. Your furry guys will be treated as if they were our own and I can tell you now ... they live better than we do!! :) During our visits, we would spend as much time as needed making sure your doggos were happy. We'd have a long play and a cuddle but along with that would go feeding, water bowl changing, giving treats (if allowed of course!) and pictures and video updates while you’re away. We will happily provide the best service that will keep your mind at ease about your fur baby. We will also send multiple updates per day as well as adorable pictures of your adorable pup!
“Katie's been brilliant! She sent me videos and pictures of Boni having fun on her walks and she was always on time. Definitely recommend her and will book further walks for Boni. Thank you very much Katie!”

“Winnie had another fantastic stay with Catherine and her family. We were kept updated with how Winnie was during her stay and knew she was receiving the best care while we were away.”
“Our dog had such a fun few days with Lauren, her family and their doggy friends! Lauren sent wonderful photos and videos so we knew he was having a ball!”
“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 🐾 ♥️”
“Jas is super friendly and welcoming. I felt very comfortable leaving nala with him and received plenty of updates. She came home a happy tired dog. Would 100% book again”
“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!!”
About: Iv owned two pugs , I currently have a Frenchie and Labrador 😁 im willing to look after any doggy who needs some love while their owners are away. I’m a relaxed, caring, and reliable dog lover who treats every dog like one of my own. While you’re away, your furry friend will receive plenty of love, attention, exercise, and cuddles in a safe, happy home. I’m currently on maternity leave, so I’m home throughout the day and can provide lots of supervision and company. When my partner is home, we enjoy taking the dogs on long walks, countryside adventures, and fun outings. We also love taking them in the car for new experiences! Our home is very dog-friendly, with a large secure garden where dogs can run, play, and relax. I understand that accidents can happen, and I want every dog to feel comfortable and at home during their stay.
“Lukie had stayed with Danuta before and had had a great time. When we saw that she was available for the time of our holiday, we asked to book with her right away! Once again, we are deeply grateful for the amazing care she and her family gave Lukie and their companionship to him. Always prompt in her communication with us, and she also sent us several pictures on a daily basis so we could stay informed of Lukie’s amazing walks! When we picked Lukie up he was of course happy to see us but he was also very calm, which reassured us he had felt comfortable at Danuta’s home. Thanks so much for such great care!!! Hopefully we can make it work again :-)”
“Sarah is amazing. Cooper settled straight in and adores Sarah. Sarah was brilliant at sending updates. I felt very comfortable with leaving Cooper in the knowledge he was well looked after. He made new friends and will miss them (until the next time!) I would highly recommend Sarah.”
“Jess took exceptional care of Charlie, ensuring he was well-fed, exercised, and loved. Daily updates and photos gave me peace of mind while I was away. My dog was happy and relaxed when I returned, a testament to the attentive and caring service provided. Highly recommended!”
“Chloe was absolutely amazing from start to finish! Communication was fantastic and so helpful! Roxy our German shepherd isn't the easiest but Chloe made me feel confident and comfortable leaving her and did a fantastic job with her and us keeping us up to date with how she was doing!

About: I’m a genuine animal lover with hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, and I truly enjoy spending time with animals of all personalities and sizes. Although I’m just starting out as a professional pet sitter, I’ve spent years looking after pets for friends, family, and neighbours. I’ve cared for dogs ranging from small to large breeds, helping with feeding, walks, playtime, and keeping them company while their owners are away. I also 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. I’m responsible, reliable, and organised. I understand how important it is for pet owners to feel confident that their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I’d love the opportunity to look after your pet and make sure they feel relaxed, loved, and well looked after while you’re away. I work full time, but pet care fits very naturally into my routine. I’m available on weekends, and I also occasionally work from home, which gives me additional flexibility during the week. On working days, I’m happy to do house visits before or after work, and in many cases even during my lunch break. This allows me to provide consistent care such as feeding, playtime, litter tray cleaning, walks, and general check-ins. I plan my schedule carefully to make sure each pet receives reliable, attentive care and quality time. I understand how important routine is for animals, and I always aim to fit pet care around their needs while keeping owners updated and reassured. I tailor my care to each pet’s individual needs and routine, whether I’m caring for them in my home or visiting them in their own home. The services I offer include feeding, playtime, walks, and cleaning litter trays. I make sure pets are well fed, exercised, mentally stimulated, and feel comfortable and relaxed while in my care. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walking routines, and any special requirements. In my home, pets have access to a large, secure fenced garden where they can safely play, explore, and enjoy outdoor time. Indoors, I provide a calm and welcoming environment and make sure pets receive plenty of attention and companionship. When caring for pets in their owner’s home, I focus on maintaining their usual routine so they feel secure. This includes feeding, walks or playtime, cleaning litter trays, and spending quality time with them to ensure they feel comfortable while their owners are away. My priority is always to make sure pets feel safe, entertained, and well cared for.
“Rocio is a wonderful sitter — she is very kind and cares for Jujube deeply. We appreciate that Rocio provides us with pictures and updates throughout the day and it’s clear that Jujube loves her company!”
“We recently used Zoe for the first time to look after our 7-month-old puppy, and she was absolutely fantastic! From the moment we met her, she was so friendly and welcoming, which instantly put us at ease. During his stay, Zoe sent us regular updates and photos, so we always knew how he was getting on. It was lovely to see how happy and settled he was, and it was clear he was having the best time on his little holiday! We couldn't have asked for a better first experience and wouldn't hesitate to book with Zoe again. We'd highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and trustworthy dog sitter. Thank you so much, Zoe!”
“Bibiana gave great attention and care for our Golden Retriever for about a week. She loved the big garden out back and loved having the whole family to play with. Highly recommended.”
“Lauren was amazing with Daphne. She’s usually cries a lot when I leave her but she was fine with Lauren. We got lots of updates through the stay and she seemed very at home.”
“They updated us the whole time our dog, Oscar, was with them with messages and pictures. Very trustworthy and just such lovely people. I will happily place Oscar with them again in the future. Thanks a ton.”
“Fiona looked after our girl Bear for 5 nights and we can’t recommend her enough. She is obviously very experienced, and we could relax on our holiday knowing that Bear is in the best hands. We only ever left Bear with family before, so we were initially little bit worried about leaving her with someone, but after our Meet&Greet we were sure Fiona was the right person. Her home is beautiful, with big garden, near lots of fields, and she had her own crate which saved us bringing our own one. We received regular updates and pictures from Fiona, and Bear was having great time on her walks and playing with her new doggie friends. Our pup accidentally cut her paw on walk and Fiona cleaned and bandaged her wound and even offered to take her to our vets. We are very happy with Fiona’s care, and will definitely use her again.”
“Our dogs have just spent their first over night with Janet and Bruce and they were just great . Lots of photos to reassure me the dogs had settled and I know our dogs were in good experienced hands I am already looking to book another date”
