“Pippin was very well looked after by Leonidas and seemed to have a lovely time and came back very happy and tired out! We appreciated the daily updates and easy communication. Many thanks!”
“Rebecca was fantastic! She was so helpful taking on my pup as a last minute booking! She even provided a drop off and pick up service. I will definitely be using Rebecca again. A + service.”
“As always, Teddy had an amazing time. Teddy can't wait to visit again. It's nice to know that we can go away and relax knowing he is safe and having fun. I would recommend to anyone.”
“Having used Joanne and Ross as sitters before, we wouldn't dream of using anyone else to look after our lovely husky when we go away. She is always included as part of their family and has a lovely time playing with their dogs. I would highly recommend Joanne and Ross and will be booking Nala in again with them when we next go away.”
“Anna and Bruno were great looking after our two spaniels once again. We had regular updates with photo’s whilst we were away and will be looking to book again soon”
“Lauren has been great with Maui! She made me feel completely at ease about leaving my pup with her and her partner, she is lovely, sent me regular updates about his wellbeing and probably spoiled him a bit.🤭 We were very happy with the experience and we'll definitely book with Lauren again.”
“Clare was absolutely awesome! I’ve never left my dogs before so was very apprehensive but she put my mind at ease with regular photos and updates. Would not hesitate to use her services again and actually already have plans to do so in September ☺️”
“Oscar had a lovely time at Georgie’s with their gorgeous lab. He came home happy (and tired from all the lovely walks), it was great to receive photos of him having a great time whilst I was away. Thanks again!”
“Anusuya is absolutely a safe pair of hands. We were let down last minute over our wedding weekend and Anusuya helped is out in a pinch with our two mini dachshunds. Really fast at replying and kept us update with pictures, and was helpful and flexible when we needed it. thank you so much!”
“Alessia looked after to Simba very well. Our Simba had a great time, she seems very relax on the photos. Alessia is very good at communication.Lots of photos and messages :) Highly reccommended!!! Need to book another holiday..”
“Poppy is a temperamental soul, however from the first meet and greet, I knew Poppy would be ok.. bouncing about freely in Alicja's house.. I knew then she would be fine with them, I got some pics of the day, so was kept up to date. I would definitely feel confidant to leave Poppy in Alicja's capable hands...”
“What a special person Sue is! Our dog Rolo is very anxious and reactive and so before we booked for Sue to have him for a week, we sorted an overnight trial. We had never left him before. Rolo was very happy and went straight in to play and was settled - until bed time when he howled during the night. However, Sue was amazing with him, reassuring and kind enough to have another go at a trial run… see next review :)”

“Tania was really lovely and Isla seemed to fit right in for her 3 night stay. Tania kept me posted with photos and updates and Isla also enjoyed the company of Finley, Tania's gorgeous lab.

About: Hi there! I’m Alessandra and mum of a cheeky toy cockapoo Luna. I have always grown up with dogs, so wanted one of my own. Now, I work from home running my own business and Luna is my companion! I fully believe that all dogs that come into my home are treated as part of the family so there is nowhere they aren’t allowed to go. I live in a flat alone but live round the corner from a spacious country park so am available for walks whenever suits your schedule and needs. If your little angel is in my care, they will be treated like one of my own. I currently have my own business and work from home so am fully flexible! I’m available for boarding, walks and day care. I don’t drive unfortunately so I may not be able to travel to you. I have a 18 month old girl toy cockapoo called Luna so am well versed with puppy care. I do not have a garden but I am round the corner from a lovely country park and other green spaces. I have a female puppy Luna who loves to make friends and would love to keep your dog company! Please note: For house sits and dog boarding, Luna will be with me. She’s house trained, doesn’t bark and is super friendly towards other dogs. For drop ins and walks, I can leave Luna at home if your pet loves one to one attention.

About: I have had pets since a very young age and have been in charge of walking, feeding, administering medicine and cleaning up after them. I recently also house sit for my friend with her cat and ensured they were well taken care of the entire time. I work in a school so am able to do walks after work at around 4pm. I am able to do stop ins before and after work if necessary and on my lunch break if not too far. I work Monday to Friday from 8:50 until 15:30 but am available all day on half terms. I am able to provide walks, feedings, brushing fur if needed and also taking out for toilets. I will play with the animal as well to ensure enrichment.
“I cannot recommend Kelsey enough. She attend our cat everyday for 2 weeks whilst we were away caring for her every need. Food, water, litter tray, cuddles, outdoor time and grooming. She keeps you updated everyday with a little write up and lots of photos. She was extra vigilant due to the heatwave in the UK ensuring our cat was well hydrated and cool and safe. The best care I’ve ever received and thank you so much Kelsey, you are amazing!!”
“Esther looked after our house, garden and two indoor cats for a week whilst we went on holiday. All went well, we returned to two happy cats, a lovely clean and tidy house and the garden had been watered and outside bins emptied. It was in a heatwave but there were no complaints, Esther was friendly and sent photos and updates on the cats everyday, a very capable lady to care for your home and pets whilst you are away.”
“Very reliable, great at responding to messages and giving daily updates about our cat when we were away. Came home to a very relaxed cat. Would definitely recommend and hope that she will look after our cat again. ”
About: I have plenty of cat care experience, mostly learnt over my time working at the national animal welfare trust. This invloved working with strays and boarding cats, including grooming, weighing, health checks, medication administering, specialised diets and many more. This allowed me to learn how to deal with all types of cat temperament. I also fostered a senior cat, Daisy, who sadly passed away March of 2025 from many health issues. Although, she had a comfortable, loving end to her life, surrounded by loved ones instead of a cattery.
“I would highly recommend Vikki, she was communicative from the start and during the visits. She left everything clean and in order which I appreciated. My cat Morty was happy and relaxed when we got back so that was also a good sign! Hope Vikki will be keen to look after him again. Thanks Vikki!”
About: a reliable and caring cat lover with 11 years of hands-on experience owning and caring for cats. I understand that every cat has their own personality, routine and comfort levels, and I always take the time to help them feel safe and relaxed. I’m experienced with feeding routines, litter tray cleaning, playtime, grooming and giving cats space when needed. Whether your cat is very affectionate or more independent and shy, I’m patient and attentive to their individual needs.

About: I’ve had pets my whole life - ranging from small pets to bigger (a collie/retriever cross!). I currently have a lovely, bubbly 2 year old cocker spaniel who is great with other dogs and very well behaved. We have 2 children - aged 6 and 4, who are very good with animals and know to give them space but it is still of course important that your dog is used to children if they are to come to our home. The house itself is in a village surrounded by fields so lots of off road walks - perfect for dogs to let off some steam. I don’t allow dogs upstairs but have a spacious mostly open plan downstairs so lots of room. I have blankets on the sofas so dogs are allowed to snuggle up on them. I also have a fully secure fenced garden. I work from home full time so can be very flexible in terms of routine. I take my own dog out everyday and so happy to take another dog or would have time for an extra walk if they’d prefer to walk alone. I have a fully fenced garden and spacious layout inside for your pup to have lots of room. My dog Milo is very well behaved and great with other dogs. Overnight Milo is not crated but I can accommodate in separate rooms if needed.
About: I have taken care of cats since being a child looking after my own but also neighbours and family cats. My own cat is 9 and is on medication daily, I think I am pretty good at reading a cats mood after owning a very sassy one myself. As well as my own cat I regularly take care of a Maine Coon in my home too
About: My first pet I had when I was a kid was a cat named Tiger. I’ve been pet sitting for over ten years including cats, dogs, horses, and other farm animals.

“I can't recommend Alessia enough for dog sitting! She took exceptional care of my Ralph during his first daycare with her. Her warm demeanor and genuine love for dogs made me feel at ease. Ralph came back happy and well-adjusted, which speaks volumes about her attention to detail and affection. I’ll definitely be booking her again for future dog sitting! 5 stars all around! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟”
“We have a skittish little madam who is anxious about meeting other dogs and people, so we are very happy to have found Sue to look after Honey. Honey had a lovely time with her stay and was told that while it took a bit of time to settle, she eventually warmed up and was happy for Sue to take her out for a walk (Honey isn't keen on walkies except with me - even my husband had to carry her on her walks with him). In fact, we have repeat future doggy day care booking with Sue.”
About: I’ve been around animals for as long as I can remember. My grandparents lived on a farm with lots of dogs, so I grew up feeding them, grooming them, bathing them, and just taking care of them like they were mine. I got my own dog, Pongo, about 12 years ago. He was the happiest, cuddliest Dalmatian and taught me everything from basic training to caring for a senior dog. In 2020, we added a second dog, Nairobi, who came from a Romanian rescue. She arrived with a lot of fear and emotional scars, so I spent a lot of time working with her, building trust, and helping her come out of her shell. Now she’s a, let's say, quirky dog who gets along great with others. Because of all this, I’m very comfortable with puppies, rescue dogs, and dogs who need a little extra patience or emotional support. After losing Pongo in 2024, Nairobi would love a friendly companion—so any dog I watch gets not just my care, but a sweet playmate if they want one. I treat every dog like family, because that’s how I was raised. I'm currently working from home, so I will have plenty of time to play with your doggos. I'm available weekdays and weekends at any time! When I’m caring for pets in my home, my main focus is making them feel safe, relaxed, and part of the family. I keep their routine as close to normal as possible—meals, walks, rest time, and whatever habits they’re used to. I also have a fully fenced garden where they can explore and enjoy the outdoors. As soon as the weather warms up, Nairobi spends most of her day out there sunbathing and only comes inside for water or a quick cool-down, and visiting dogs usually love doing the same. If a pet is staying overnight, especially during fireworks season, I make sure our last walk is earlier in the evening so everyone is settled before the noise begins. Our house has very good sound insulation, and with the TV on you can barely hear anything from outside, which helps dogs stay calm and comfortable. If we’re just popping in for walks, Nairobi and I always take our time. She loves to explore and sniff every single leaf, so we’re never in a rush. If your dog enjoys it, we can also play fetch or add in some extra playtime to make the walk even more fun. Overall, I do everything I can to make pets feel at home and cared for, just like I do with my own dog.
“I think Horace loved his stay! I was a bit nervous about leaving him for the first time but Kelly was very reassuring. I had updates throughout the day and some lush photos. I certainly do not feel worried about leaving him with Kelly next time, she is a pro!”
“Will was an amazing host for Dexter he was very quick with his response to my questions. I am new to rover and didn’t know how the website works so asked questions that were already on the site but Will was very polite and still answered them. Dexter had a great day and was very tired when he got home. We would recommend Will again and will be using his services again too. A very big lick from Dexter”

Thanks to my experience, I’m confident caring for all kinds of animals — from dogs and cats to reptiles and more — and I understand their unique needs perfectly. At my home, every pet is treated just like part of the family. I live in a secure gated community, so you can have extra peace of mind knowing it’s a safe, calm environment. They’ll get plenty of fuss, playtime, and cuddles, and will be welcomed alongside my own pets in a friendly, stress-free space. When looking after pets in their own home, I always respect your space, keep everything tidy, and stick exactly to your rules and routine. I love sending regular photo updates so you can see how happy and settled they are while you’re away! 💐🩷 I am currently still working a 9-5 but I am planning to quit that job and fully dedicate my time to looking after animals! I’m happy to come to your house to pet sit, or whatever works best for you! I’ll follow all your routines exactly, feed and play with them, and keep your home safe and secure. With my Level 3 qualification and professional experience, I know how to keep pets calm, happy and stress-free in their own space. I’m reliable, careful, and always put their comfort and safety first.
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.
About: My hubby and I have many years pet experience between us. I ( Esther) grew up on a small holding with rabbits, dogs, cats, chickens, ducks, pigs, goats, sheep, cows and horses. Andy has always had pet dogs. We have boarded dogs for Guide Dogs for 5 years and have now ventured into pet sitting and have 2 regular clients already. We are in our 50's ( just, for me!) and feel priviledged to be able to look after peoples loved ones in their own home whilst they are away. We look forward to hopefully be able to do the same for you too. We are both retired so are free and available the majority of the time Monday to Sunday including bank holidays, unless already doing another pet sit. We follow all instructions that you ask of us in terms of security and safety of your home/pets. We always keep dogs on the lead when walking them and don't take then out if the weather is too hot, unless we can do this in the cool of three day.
“Kelsey was great, Willow really liked her, she was great at helping her get over her nerves at the beginning of the walk. Really punctual, Willow seemed to have a lovely time, would definitely recommend :)”
About: I’ve cared for pets of all ages, from playful puppies to gentle seniors, and have trained puppies in basic commands like sit and stay. Over the years, I’ve looked after family and friends’ dogs and cats, treating each one as if they were my own. I’m confident handling different temperaments, keeping pets safe, active, and loved so they’re happy while you’re away. Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine. Currently, I’m flexible and can adjust my schedule around walks, feeding times, play, and cuddles. I make sure each pet gets consistent attention, exercise, and affection every day. I prioritise each pet’s safety by following their specific routines, keeping them on-lead outdoors unless in a secure area, and ensuring fresh water, clean spaces, and a comfortable environment. Whether in my home or yours, I treat pets like family, always supervised, always loved, and always safe.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my combination of hands-on experience, specialized care skills, and genuine passion for animals. I don’t just watch pets—I care for them like they’re my own. 🐾 Special Skills and Experience: • Puppy Training: I have experience helping puppies with basic obedience, crate training, and potty routines. I understand the patience and consistency needed to give them a great start. • Senior Dog Care: I’m comfortable administering medication, supporting mobility issues, and tailoring activities to meet the slower pace and special needs of older dogs. • Behavioural Awareness: I pay close attention to body language and behaviour cues to ensure your dog feels safe, secure, and understood. 🐶 What You Can Expect: • Reliable, timely communication • Daily updates and photos • Customized care based on your dog’s personality, age, and routine • A calm, confident presence your dog can trust Whether it’s a high-energy pup who needs training and structure, or a senior dog who needs gentle, attentive care, I’m here to provide more than just a service—I provide peace of mind. Pet care is a natural and fulfilling part of my everyday life. I structure my days around the needs of the pets I care for, whether that means early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening feedings and snuggle time. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to adapt easily to each pet’s routine. On a daily basis, I prioritize: • Walks and playtime for physical and mental stimulation • Feeding and medication at consistent times • Updates for pet parents, including photos and notes • Grooming tasks like brushing or wiping paws if needed Throughout the week, I make sure to rotate activities, check supplies, and stay on top of any changes in behaviour or health. I also schedule time for continued learning—whether it’s reading up on breed-specific needs or attending new Canine training courses. Caring for animals isn’t something I fit in—it’s something I build my life around because it’s what I genuinely love doing. Currently available 24/7 for Dog Boarding and Care. Obviously at home caring for my 3 Year Old Son but also my 5 Year Old Cockapoo Dog as well. My home is pet-friendly, safe, and full of love! Before any stay, I make sure to learn all about a pet’s routine, quirks, and preferences so I can recreate their comfort zone here. In my home, I provide: • A calm, clean environment with designated spaces for rest and play. With a fully fenced Medium sized garden for the Dogs to run around and exercise. • Daily walks and playtime's based on the dog’s needs • Consistent feeding and medication routines • Socialization, if appropriate, with other friendly dogs in a controlled setting. My 5 year old Cockapoo loves to run around and will keep your fur baby entertained. • Close supervision, especially for new pets or puppies who need structure I treat every guest like part of the family, and I’m happy to accommodate special diets, habits, or medical needs. (For Note: Currently having an rear extension built which will include a specific dog room for caring and boarding purposes. The Room will include a Dog Sofa along with a Dog specific Bath for when your little fur babies get dirty on a walk.)

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands on experience caring for family dogs as well as my own. From daily walks to playtime and plenty of cuddles, I know how important it is to give pets the attention and love they deserve. Training has been a big part of my journey as a pet parent, so I’m patient, consistent, and always focused on keeping pets happy and well-behaved. Whether it’s exercise, companionship, or just some extra TLC, I’ll treat your furry family members like my own. I work part time 1-3 days a week and I spend the rest of my time going for long walks or going to the gym so have plenty of time in between.

About: With years of hands-on experience caring for dogs & puppies. I provide dependable, loving care tailored to each pet’s unique personality and needs. Whether it’s energetic playtime, gentle attention for senior pets, or administering medication, I make sure every animal in my care feels safe, happy, and loved. I treat every pet as if they were my own—earning trust, building routines, and making sure their days are filled with comfort, companionship, and care. Pet care is my full-time focus, which means your pet will get consistent, dedicated attention throughout the day. Since I don’t work outside the home, I’m available for flexible scheduling, last-minute bookings, and extended stays.

I take the time to build trust with both pets and their owners, offering regular updates, photos, and open communication so you can feel confident while you’re away.
About: I’ve had pets my whole life - ranging from small pets to bigger (a collie/retriever cross!). I currently have a lovely, bubbly 2 year old cocker spaniel who is great with other dogs and very well behaved. We have 2 children - aged 6 and 4, who are very good with animals and know to give them space but it is still of course important that your dog is used to children if they are to come to our home. The house itself is in a village surrounded by fields so lots of off road walks - perfect for dogs to let off some steam. I don’t allow dogs upstairs but have a spacious mostly open plan downstairs so lots of room. I have blankets on the sofas so dogs are allowed to snuggle up on them. I also have a fully secure fenced garden. I work from home full time so can be very flexible in terms of routine. I take my own dog out everyday and so happy to take another dog or would have time for an extra walk if they’d prefer to walk alone. I have a fully fenced garden and spacious layout inside for your pup to have lots of room. My dog Milo is very well behaved and great with other dogs. Overnight Milo is not crated but I can accommodate in separate rooms if needed.
