“My dog Kara can be very shy and timid at new places, but it seemed like she had no problem settling in and making friends. Holly was incredibly sweet and caring and the environment was very cozy and relaxed. She was also very accommodating to me and my schedule which was great. I would absolutely book with her again.”
“Roxy and boo had a lovely first time stay. We had lots of updates, photo’s and even a video of their morning walk. We picked up two very contented doggies. Roxy and boo will definately return to stay in the future 😊”
About: Having either coveted or owned pets since childhood, and recently experienced my daughter hosting dogs in our family home before flying the nest on her next big adventure, I’ve decided to take over the family business. Yes, I know inheritance does not usually work this way but, hey, hosting your fur balls has been such a joy, and I have such a perfect space here, why not? Familiar with separation anxiety, medication administration, and all that comes with family pets. Very fond of long walks. Well aware from personal experience how daunting it can be to leave your pets in someone else’s care, and totally committed to ensuring their comfort and safety. Rest assured your pets will be well cared for - and lots of cute photos and updates will be sent. I’m self employed and work from home. My dog, Mo, and cat Gem, are well socialised and happy to accept well behaved comrades into their space. I have a big, secure fenced garden with lots of room to run around, and a comfortable living space where pets are welcome, including on the sofas. I’m respectful of other people’s needs and spaces, whether I’m visiting your home, or your pets are visiting mine, I’ll make sure their - and your - needs are met. Expect lots of photos - and possibly a short story, or poem from your pet.
“Jan was lovely with our senior dog Penny! You can tell she has a heart for animals and enjoys what she does. We received lots of updates during her stay, so there was never any worry about how she was getting on. It was wonderful to get the chance to travel while knowing that our pup was in great hands!! Thanks Jan 😊”
“Our dog had such a lovely time, she may have had a better time on her little holiday than we did! :) We received plenty of updates and pictures, and knew she was well looked after the entire time.”
“Our dog Daisy had a lovely stay with Annalise. We received tons of cute photos and updates, which was appreciated. She was super excited to see Annalise after we'd met her before booking, which was a great sign. We will definitely book again!”
“Bentley had a great stay, Philip kept us updated regularly so always felt relaxed that he was ok and settled. Bentley had plenty of exercise with long walks and a trip to the dog park. Would definitely recommend and use again. Many thanks”
“Shaun & his family were amazing! They couldn’t have been more accommodating and were really flexible through out. We received plenty of updates and she was made to feel right at home with them. They are an absolute credit to dog lovers and you can guarentee they will be spoilt the whole time. Thank you so much, we will certainly book again.”

“Taylor has been wonderful, so kind and attentive to our cat while we have been away. Taylor was kind enough to send me messages through WhatsApp as well as through the app so I can keep updated, and I couldn't recommend her more.”
“Katie was great! She was very prompt with responding, came prepared with any extra paperwork/info. She was easy to work with and coordinate a pre visit before we left to get the lay of the house and a feel for our cat! She always included pictures during her visit. Highly recommend and would book again”
“We were really pleased to find Marta. She came to meet us before looking after our cat whilst we were away. Super reliable and polite. Would definitely recommend and we’ll use Marta again.”

“Emma did a great job looking after our cat Oaty while we have been on holiday. She sent photos and videos which we loved especially our three children who were missing him. Emma communicated with us as much as needed for updates and we would definitely recommend her for looking after your pets. Thank you”
“Hannah was fantastic with our two cats. She was caring and thoughtful, sending daily updates which showed the cats playing, purring and very happy. My cats could not have been in better hands. ”
“Rhian did an incredible job housesitting over the Christmas period, she kept in communication, sent us lots of photos of our cat being well settled and happy. It was the calmest we’ve ever seen the cat after we’ve been away for a period - I would absolutely recommend Rhian to others! Thank you so much for all your help!”
“Layla was an absolute star, looking after our cat Halo while we were away. From the photos Layla sent us through the app, we could see how much fuss she made of Halo and how Halo warmed to her very quickly. Layla also coped admirably with having to medicate Halo twice a day, which was a big relief for us. We won't hesitate to ask Layla to help us out again with drop-in visits when we're away. She was utterly trustworthy, completely reliable and we are soooo glad we found her!”
“Alix did a wonderful job looking after our dear old cat while we were away. She gave us daily updates of her visits and activities along with photos of Sophien the cat. We are well pleased and would highly recommend Alix to any other pet owner in the area needing the best in compassionate care and attention. Thanks!”
“Jade coped well as our cat-sitter for the weekend! She had to medicate and feed Halo twice a day, which she did, and we came home to a very clean utility room - where Jade had kept both the feeding area and the litter tray spotless - and a very contented cat fast asleep and clearly very relaxed, despite our absence for the weekend 😁 Thank you, Jade!”
“We would 100% recommend Susan & we would definitely use her again! This was the first time we’ve ever used a house/pet sitter and we were really happy with how it all went. John was really happy and content & Susan gave us updates which we loved getting whilst being away! Our house was also left just as we’d left it and Susan looked after all our plants for us too which we were very grateful for!”
About: I’m a 33 year old female living in a flat in Bury St Edmunds. I have a marketing job with 9-5:30 flexible hours and I’m currently working from home and free on the weekends. In my spare time I love to go out on long walks & adventures and enjoy them so much better with a dog.

I’d love to help people in the area with walks or boarding / looking after their dog whenever needed :). I’d be so excited to look after anyone’s animal/s in general and to help anyone out :). I’m very independent and live by myself but I am very close to my parents in south Cambridge where we all love to go on walks together too. Please message me if you would like to know anything more or require any further information :). I work from home so I am able to offer daycare during these times and I also offer boarding and house sitting. My partner Laurie also likes to help out and is usually around when I board dogs at my place. He enjoys joining us for walks and playing with the dogs. For house sitting Laurie will also join me so your pets get all the extra attention and love. We are always happy to come by for a meet up/ introduction beforehand so you get to meet us both. I have a shared garden for regular smaller walk/ toilet breaks but during your dogs stay I will also venture out for longer walks. I’ll make sure your dog gets all the exercise, love & attention they need! Please note that I do live in a flat/apartment where there are always neighbours coming/going at different times in the area. I am aware that sometimes seeing/hearing strangers can make a dog anxious/ bark a lot. Please consider this before booking :) many thanks.

About: My experience of cats is extensive, with my parents having 4 of their own which I regularly look after. 3 of these we have had from kittens, with the 4th being a rescue. The rescue was incredibly nervous when we first took him in, as such I understand thoroughly how nervous cats can be. Please let me know if you have any other questions, or if you would like any more information.
About: I have started looking after cats in the last 2/3 years. I am committed to making sure they live in a clean environment and will happily deep clean litter trays, food and water bowls. As well as giving them some well deserved attention and play if they are interested :)

“Amira loved her time with Inga & Bonnie. Amira is always scared around new people but she’s gotten used to Inga very quickly, which is great! Inga has been very patient with Amira’s constant demands to be petted.”
“We booked Annalise for day care ahead of having our two rescue dogs board with her when we go to Spain next week. Annalise was super responsive both ahead and during the booking. She sent loads of photos and I could tell that the dogs were at ease and happy with her, even the one who’s a bit nervous and timid with new people! I’m sure they can’t wait to see Annalise again :)”

We have a 5 year old resident French bulldog who is extremely sociable and absolutely adores making new friends, we take lots of very enrichment filled walks along rivers, fields and woodlands. We hire enclosed fields with swimming facilities for warmer days. We have cooling mats and paddling pools in the garden along with lots of enrichment toys and activities, our evenings are usually spent snuggled together on the sofa after a fun filled day of exploring. I work from home on a very flexible schedule so your dogs will have someone with them 24/7. We have a resident French bulldog who adores all dogs.

“Pokie had a lovely pit stop with Lucy for a few hours while I was at an exam. She's a nervous girl but sounds like she settled well and she was happy and relaxed at pick up too. Thank you x”
“Alix settled Poppy as she was a little nervous on her first visit due to the other dogs. Kept me reassured throughout the day with updates. Really comfortable using Alix and looking forward to our next visit - thanks for Poppy’s biscuit treats on leaving!”
“Jane was absolutely brilliant! We met her and Juno in Hardwick Heath and our border collie Morris loved playing with them from the get go. Jane was amazing and very accommodating, and it was a relief to know Morris was going to be well looked after and have a dog pal to play throughout the day. Something that was particularly nice was that I mentioned we've been working on his lead walking, and Jane went over and beyond to continue working on the lead manners with Morris while he stayed with her! It was very thoughtful and extremely helpful too. We got lots of pictures of Morris and Juno playing during the day, as well as pictures of Morris just chilling in Jane's house. Cannot recommend Jane enough, we'll definitely be booking with her again”
“Natalie was more than I could’ve asked for. Her flexibility and quick responses made it so easy to ensure our pup was in the right hands! So also send tons of pictures and updates throughout the day that reassured our pup was having an amazing time! Highly recommend to anyone!”
“Snowy has had 3 sessions with Caroline now and it’s been amazing. He absolutely loves it there and always looks so happy in the photos that Caroline sends over! Was very late coming back from work the other day and Caroline was very understanding and helped a lot! Absolutely will be using her more in the future and couldn’t recommend more! :)”

About: I have grown up with and always loved animals. I regularly look after dogs of varying breeds (and personalities) for friends and family which I absolutely love. My experience varies from stubborn Huskies to yappy Jack Russel's to needy Siamese cats while also loving my own boisterous Labrador. This also varies in age, from my own 1 year old Labrador who we have had since a puppy, to more senior dogs who prefer a slower pace of life. I am understanding of the fact that different breeds and ages have different needs and requirements when it comes to daily care and I am always happy to incorporate this into their daily routine. Please feel free to message me for anymore information or any questions you may have. I currently work from home on Tuesdays and Wednesdays so will be around all day. I have a Labrador of my own, so we are in the routine of letting the dog out regularly, providing two walks a day and doing regular check ins to make sure there is plenty of water and all needs are met. Our garden is fully enclosed so the dogs are able to venture in and out as they please. My Labrador is still crated at night, however if your dog does not require crating this is fine. During the day, you dog will never be left for more than two hours. They layout of our house is slightly different, with the living area being on the first floor. This may not always be the best for more senior dogs. If there is any issues with this then please let me know.
“It was obvious Miguel had an amazing time with Becky from the way he has been so chill coming home but also the way he was leaning against her and wanting a fuss when we were leaving! Becky was excellent at communicating on Miguel and we felt totally at ease to leave him to have a doggy daycare. Thanks so much again Becky and we will all look forward to seeing you again 🥰”
About: I have been around dogs my entire life quite literally, my first present as a newborn straight out of hospital was a gorgeous black ball of fur aka Tyson a German shepherd puppy and from that day on we were inseparable…. Needless to say now gsd’s are my favorite breed and will always be my favorite butttt and that’s a very big but all dogs of all shapes and sizes hold a special place in my heart. I get on with dogs better then I do humans forming special bonds and an instant attachment to any dog I lay eyes on. I can’t go anywhere without stopping whoever has a dog and asking them if I can make a fuss of them so I thought I would put this love or obsession whatever you like to call it to good use and help others and welcome your dogs into my home where they will be loved like my own and part of our pack… I am currently a stay at home mum who is looking for an extra income to contribute more to my household and my family? So I have availability pretty much all day every day from 10 AM up until 2 o’clock I am free and from 4:30 till whenever you need I am free. I will have my children with me if you are happy with that I have a baby and a toddler that don’t go to school yet if it’s at the weekend, then I will be Child free. This does not affect my ability to do my job as I have pets myself and I look after them with my children. If your dogs are other dog friendly, I’m happy for your dogs to join us, if not that’s ok too I can take them separately. I have two dogs myself who are more than happy to keep your dogs company. I can crate your dog for safety, If it is needed I have a garden and children that would love to play with your dogs if your dogs are at my home or you are happy for my children to play with your dogs then my toddler is more than happy to if my other two are at school. I have plenty of fans in my house for this hot weather and they are on all the time. If your dog is at my home, there is freshwater everywhere in my home. I have no rules in my house for dogs, being toilet trained is preferred but if your dog is old incontinent or still a puppy, it is absolutely fine. I have hardwood floors and dogs have accidents happen. It’s easily cleaned up. Your dog will be more than at home here they’ll be allowed up on the sofas in our garden.

About: I have been dog, cat, and house sitting since childhood! I have volunteered at SPCA and have always found or adopted my pets. I grew up with a golden retriever and several cats. My schedule is very flexible right now, as I recently relocated to bury st Edmund's. Hoping to make the most of my time by helping out others and getting to spend time with their furry family. I have spent many years caring for pets of friends and family in their homes. I've always felt that it's easier to keep them in their home where they are familiar and comfortable and I am the one who is in their space. They are already missing their parents (owners) no need to add more stress.
“Katie was amazing. The dogs loved her straight away and was so accommodating for timings and pick ups. Highly recommend and will 100% use again when in the area. Thank you”
“Jack is a fantastic dog walker. He took the time to get to know Oskar and asked all the right questions to make sure he had everything he needed. His calm and friendly manner instantly put us both at ease. Oskar absolutely loved his walks, and I felt completely confident knowing he was in safe, caring hands. I’d highly recommend Jack to anyone looking for a trustworthy and thoughtful dog walker.”
“Lovely dog walker! Came and met Maggie the weekend before, was punctual and easy to contact! Left a lovely overview of the walk and took lots of pictures. Would highly recommend 🙂”

About: I live and breathe pets, caring for my own dogs since I was a child, including rescues and puppies. Every pet has its own unique charms, and my extensive personal experience caring for both my own animals and others' gives me patience and understanding when getting to know them. Additionally, my part-time work is directly with pet care, giving me a wealth of professional expertise, supplemented by undertaking specialised dog first aid training. Fully DBS checked and insured. I work part time, spending the rest of my week caring for my dog and planning pet visits. Your pet's needs will always be a priority to me, and I am very comfortable being flexible around my work to meet them. Additionally, pet welfare always comes first with me, so will be available for early mornings or late nights during the summer. I will always encourage meeting your wonderful pets all together first to make sure we're a good match, with an emphasis on being bespoke and customised to your pets' needs. For dogs specifically, I can offer both 1 to 1 care or, should you prefer they spend some time socialising with others, bring along my very friendly dog Nessie. Walked dogs will always be returned washed and dried, so there'll be no nasty surprises when you get home!
About: I’ve always been a huge animal lover and understand just how important pets are as part of the family.

I’m fully insured, canine first aid trained, and committed to providing safe, calm, and attentive care for every dog in my care. I hold an advanced DBS check as I volunteer my time to Our Special Friends helping with the elderly and vulnerable to care for their dogs. I have some available slots throughout the week between the hours of 9.30 and 14.00, ideal for regular weekly bookings or one off requirements. I am flexible and will always do my best to accommodate a visit or walk for a dog. I only offer solo (or same household) walks so I can prioritise safety, calm handling, and communication at all times. I take the time to understand each dog’s individual needs and their routines, and any behavioural or medical considerations before walking. Dogs are always kept on lead, and I carefully choose safe, suitable and known walking routes. I’m canine first aid trained and fully insured, and I will always keep owners updated with messages and photos for your peace of mind. As I offer solo/household walks only, your dog(s) will always receive my full attention in a safe and controlled environment only.
About: My name is Hayley, I have had dogs since I was 15. I absolutely love all dogs, although bulldogs have a very special place in my heart! We have a 5 year old resident French bulldog who is extremely sociable and absolutely adores making new friends, we take lots of very enrichment filled walks along rivers, fields and woodlands. We hire enclosed fields with swimming facilities for warmer days. We have cooling mats and paddling pools in the garden along with lots of enrichment toys and activities, our evenings are usually spent snuggled together on the sofa after a fun filled day of exploring. I work from home on a very flexible schedule so your dogs will have someone with them 24/7. We have a resident French bulldog who adores all dogs. We take daily walks through the woods and along the river, with plenty of sniffing breaks. We also visit the enclosed field regularly for a well earned strech of the legs and run for the more athletic dogs, I tailor the dogs care fully to their needs, we do a minimum of 2 walks a day ( weather dependent for certain breeds ) plus we have lots of enrichment activities at home for them to enjoy. I have a fully fenced garden, stair gates in place for your dogs safety, plenty of treats and space on the sofa! We are happy to tailor to your dogs needs with beds, sofa or crate sleeping, I have over 20 years experience with all different breeds of dogs.

About: I have taken care of friend’s dogs for years and had the joy of getting my own last year. I’ve also tried to be helpful to local organisations when I can. I’m currently working self employed so I’m happy to discuss days. Plus free all day on Mondays and Tuesdays. Looking forward to working with owners on a schedule that works best for us both. I have a fenced yard for my dog Eko at home and a big enough garden for her to run around in. I won’t be taking dog’s back to my house but wanted to let you know the situation there.
About: I looked after my cat and Yorkshire terrier in my home in Ukraine. I had to leave him with my family as I moved to the UK with my children. I miss him a lot and looking after other dogs would help me a lot. I am working part time in a local pub and looking after my two children, but I can be very flexible and adjust to your needs. I looked after pets for many years and I always take a great care of them, covering them in love and attention as if they are my own.
About: I have grown up with and always loved animals. I regularly look after dogs of varying breeds (and personalities) for friends and family which I absolutely love. My experience varies from stubborn Huskies to yappy Jack Russel's to needy Siamese cats while also loving my own boisterous Labrador. This also varies in age, from my own 1 year old Labrador who we have had since a puppy, to more senior dogs who prefer a slower pace of life. I am understanding of the fact that different breeds and ages have different needs and requirements when it comes to daily care and I am always happy to incorporate this into their daily routine. Please feel free to message me for anymore information or any questions you may have. I currently work from home on Tuesdays and Wednesdays so will be around all day. I have a Labrador of my own, so we are in the routine of letting the dog out regularly, providing two walks a day and doing regular check ins to make sure there is plenty of water and all needs are met. Our garden is fully enclosed so the dogs are able to venture in and out as they please. My Labrador is still crated at night, however if your dog does not require crating this is fine. During the day, you dog will never be left for more than two hours. They layout of our house is slightly different, with the living area being on the first floor. This may not always be the best for more senior dogs. If there is any issues with this then please let me know.
About: I have had family dogs all throughout my life. Since moving out I haven’t had a dog but I often aid my partner with dog sits who is also on Rover. I’m currently in the RAF. I am allowed dogs in the office and in my accommodation so I can offer care all day long. I have lots of spare capacity on the weekends and evenings where I can provide long walks. I have a spacious room and a large office. Not only that, I am surrounded by lovely Suffolk countryside so I can give them multiple long walks per day if required.
“I've never left my lab with anyone before apart from family, so I was quite nervous leaving her with someone I didn't know. However, Frances was fantastic from the start. Excellent communication and most importantly took great care of Luna. Will be booking again. Thank you again Frances 😊”
About: I’ve had dogs all my life I like all pets and just love messing/playing with them going on walks I have experience with different types of animals small and big Currently on the hunt for a job so taking care of any dog would help I currently have a hamster at home but that it I follow all instructions from the owner if I’m not sure I will generally ask the owner or look it up I would never want to put a animal in danger
About: I really love looking after dogs, I’ve grown up with dogs in the household from as long as I can remember - a retired greyhound and a rescue whippet lurcher cross. I also have my own dog care business so have a lot of experience with different breeds, reactive dogs, rescues and other behavioural challenges. I’d would love to rescue a dog of my own in the future when the time is right😁 I am currently studying mental health nursing at university and do online work about 2-3 out of 5 days a week so would have lots of time to spend with your furry friend and give them the attention they deserve! I enjoy spending time outdoors so would love going for long walks too. I’d love to have a chat with you to see how I can help make yours and your dogs life easier! I am very keen to keep the dogs routine similar to how it would be at home, from breakfast times to walk times! Unfortunately I am not able to have pets at my home as I am not licensed by the local council but I am more than happy to pet/ house sit (in the pets home)
“Finding someone who treats your dog with love and dedication is rare, which is why I'm thrilled to have found Freya who not only ensures my dog is happy but also goes on long walks to make sure she expends all her energy while I'm at work. It's a relief and a joy to know my furry friend is in such good hands.”

“My dog Kara can be very shy and timid at new places, but it seemed like she had no problem settling in and making friends. Holly was incredibly sweet and caring and the environment was very cozy and relaxed. She was also very accommodating to me and my schedule which was great. I would absolutely book with her again.”
“Roxy and boo had a lovely first time stay. We had lots of updates, photo’s and even a video of their morning walk. We picked up two very contented doggies. Roxy and boo will definately return to stay in the future 😊”
“Jan was lovely with our senior dog Penny! You can tell she has a heart for animals and enjoys what she does. We received lots of updates during her stay, so there was never any worry about how she was getting on. It was wonderful to get the chance to travel while knowing that our pup was in great hands!! Thanks Jan 😊”

“This was our first time using Cayman and we will definitely be using her again! She was very easy to communicate with to schedule a meet and greet and was absolutely amazing with our pups for the week she had them. Thanks again for such a great experience!”
“We decided on a last minute trip out of the country. Anna worked with us every step of the way and made sure we were always in the know with our girl. She would send daily updates and photos. It was a peace of mind while we were away to know our dog was being loved and cared for by such a lovely family. Will use Anna again for boarding in the future.”
“Excellent. Seth loved his 10 days with Pedro. Pedro is very knowledgeable about dogs and clearly interested in learning more about them everyday. You can tell he loves dogs. Pedro took Seth on daily walks on and off lead (with our permission) and kept up great contact, sending videos and voicenotes daily with updates. Pedro didn't mind brushing Seth's teeth daily at our request and even sent us tips on oral care. He brushed Seth's coat out without is prompting it. Seth misses Pedro already and will definitely stay again.”
“Lloyd took great care of my lively dog Babbo, and Hudson, Lloyds dog, taught Babbo some manners as well as gave him companionship. I know my dog is in good hands with Lloyd.”
About: I have been around dogs my entire life quite literally, my first present as a newborn straight out of hospital was a gorgeous black ball of fur aka Tyson a German shepherd puppy and from that day on we were inseparable…. Needless to say now gsd’s are my favorite breed and will always be my favorite butttt and that’s a very big but all dogs of all shapes and sizes hold a special place in my heart. I get on with dogs better then I do humans forming special bonds and an instant attachment to any dog I lay eyes on. I can’t go anywhere without stopping whoever has a dog and asking them if I can make a fuss of them so I thought I would put this love or obsession whatever you like to call it to good use and help others and welcome your dogs into my home where they will be loved like my own and part of our pack… I am currently a stay at home mum who is looking for an extra income to contribute more to my household and my family? So I have availability pretty much all day every day from 10 AM up until 2 o’clock I am free and from 4:30 till whenever you need I am free. I will have my children with me if you are happy with that I have a baby and a toddler that don’t go to school yet if it’s at the weekend, then I will be Child free. This does not affect my ability to do my job as I have pets myself and I look after them with my children. If your dogs are other dog friendly, I’m happy for your dogs to join us, if not that’s ok too I can take them separately. I have two dogs myself who are more than happy to keep your dogs company. I can crate your dog for safety, If it is needed I have a garden and children that would love to play with your dogs if your dogs are at my home or you are happy for my children to play with your dogs then my toddler is more than happy to if my other two are at school. I have plenty of fans in my house for this hot weather and they are on all the time. If your dog is at my home, there is freshwater everywhere in my home. I have no rules in my house for dogs, being toilet trained is preferred but if your dog is old incontinent or still a puppy, it is absolutely fine. I have hardwood floors and dogs have accidents happen. It’s easily cleaned up. Your dog will be more than at home here they’ll be allowed up on the sofas in our garden.
“Natalie did a fantastic job looking after our senior dog for a few days. She was easy to work with and sent us plenty of pictures and updates so we knew our dog was in good hands. Would absolutely recommend her and book her again!”
