“We left Blue with Carolyn for the first time this weekend, we received lots of communication, photos and videos of him which really reassured us, he was not keen to leave and tried going back in so ill take that as a sign that he enjoyed his stay! Thank you so much for taking such good care of him, we would definitely book again x”
“Eva was absolutely amazing with Luna! From the moment we met her, it was clear how much she genuinely cares about animals. She kept us updated throughout the stay with photos and messages, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Luna can be a little particular about her routine, but Eva followed all of our instructions perfectly and treated her like she was part of her own family. When I picked Luna up, she was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. It was obvious that she received plenty of love, attention, playtime, and cuddles during her stay. Finding someone you trust with your dog is priceless, and Eva exceeded every expectation. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional dog sitter. Luna can’t wait for her next stay with Eva! Thank you again, Eva, for taking such wonderful care of my girl!”
“Chestnut was with Pedro for 11 days. Pedro is great with dogs, he is very caring, attentive and sends regular updates and videos which is so helpful when you’re not with your dog baby. Chestnut loved her time at Pedro’s, she was in a loving home and was also kept busy being around other dogs, which she loves.”
“Alix has yet again provided a great time for my Molly in their home. She is well set up to give dogs a great time. Molly is able to relax when she wants or get out into the garden when she wants. Good walks too! Would definitely recommend.”
“Yesterday Tracey has looked after Snowy for the day and it was such a piece of mind to know my fur baby was in safe hands. Tracey is very communicative, I loved receiving updates. Snowy had the best time and she’ll definitely stay with her again.”
“Inga and her family took great care of our dog Daphne. We were provided with regular photos and updates which showed Daphne was settled and happy and had lots of playtime and walks. Thank you so much Inga!”
“Harrison was great with Lennon this was the first time he had been left with a sitter so was a little nervous for the first few days but he soon settled into Harrison’s home and was very happy . Highly recommend thank you !”
“Laura was brilliant with Lola, took very good care of her and had excellent communication with us. We would definitely recommend, and will be booking Lola in with Laura again next time we are in the area”
“I was so happy with the care Tracey gave Jax. Brilliant and professional from start to finish. Nothing was to much for Tracey. Our dog is on medication which she had absolutely no problem with it. Daily photos and updates. Just brilliant. Thank you we will see you again next year. ? would recommend.”
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.
“Shane has been amazing with our Shar Pei, Luna. He made both her and us welcome from the start with our initial home visit and then her subsequent stay with him. It was her first time staying away from us and her home and all the time we were away Shane messaged and sent photos and videos of Luna regularly and we have to say she certainly looked very happy, comfortable and like she wasn’t missing us too much!!🤣 Shane was happy for us to message him too to see how she was as he knew we were worried as it was her first time away from home! She can be quite picky with her food but Shane said she was eating well which was so reassuring too. When we went to collect her we knew how much she loved Shane because she kept going to him for cuddles too before we left 😊 She has settled in well back at home and that tells us that she obviously felt at home with him and that not much had changed for her - she more or less has the run of our house and she did with Shane too. We cannot recommend him highly enough. He’s a lovely caring guy who obviously loves the dogs he cares for and treats them as his own 😊 Shane’s little boy was brilliant with Luna too. We’ll definitely be booking Luna to stay again though we think we’re going to have to book well in advance!🤣 Thanks again guys you’ve been fab. Luna sends a big sloppy kiss!!🤣 Bev & Jon 😊😊”
“We can highly recommend Lloyd. We left our two dogs with him and they had a Brilliant time. He sent us messages and photos of the boys and left totally safe leaving them with him”
“Our high spirited lab puppy Rocky was very well looked after and had a great time with Juno. Paulo and Francisco were excellent- great communication and kindly sent us photos too which were very much appreciated. Rocky is really looking forward to his next stay.”
“Janet had a lovely home to take care of Lobo in. She was relaxed and friendly and Lobo who can be nervous when we leave her, was happy to be there. Janet took her plenty walks and took good care of her. Would definitely use Janet again.”
“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.”
“Absolutely wonderful and friendly family that we have used several times to look ok after our dog whilst away. Our dog "Rambo" always seems to have had a great time. We were provided regular photos and updates throughout our time away. Would 100% recommend. No complaints at all.”
“Katy responds quickly to any enquiry. She arranged to meet Coco prior to the overnight stay and was very thorough in ensuring that she knew all about Coco. After this initial meet up Coco ran enthusiastically into Katy's house to stay overnight and greeted both Katy and her partner enthusiastically. When we picked her up it was clear that Coco had had a great time. We would certainly use Katy again.”
“Annalise was a joy to deal with. She was very responsive and happy to answer all the questions I had. Romeo loved her and came home well exercised and ready for bed.”

I never walk my pets in areas I am unfamiliar with to avoid any safety concerns when out and about.
“Molly was a dream with our 2 cats, one if which is a very anxious little girl called Chupa! She really gave Chupa the chance to warm up to her slowly and at her own pace (which worked wonderfully!). Molly went above and beyond to make sure our furry babies were well looked after, and had enough stimulation and affection during her visits. She sent us videos every time she visited which were so appreciated and lovely to watch. It's clear that she has a genuine love and passion for animals. We'll only use Molly going forward. I feel confident leaving my fur babies in her capable hands. Highly recommend her, you won't be disappointed :) Thanks again Molly! xxx”
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
“Freya looked after our two cats at our home for a few days, she looked after them so kindly and got to know them both! She also made sure our home was well looked after as well, and kept us updated with texts and videos of the cats every time she visited. She was excellent and we will definitely use her again, we highly recommend!”
“10/10 again :) our girls are certainly becoming a fan, they seem so relaxed when we return which is lovely as they can get easily stressed. Great communication each day which puts us at ease, thank you so much and we will be rebooking when we next go away! ”
“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!”

“The perfect people, so kind friendly and generous can’t think of a better place to entrust the fur baby ! Hayley and family made art so welcome and made him part of the family for his stay, highly recommended”
“Pedro was amazing with my Weimaraner puppy, Saffie. Saffie is quite a whirlwind and requires a lot of physical and mental stimulation. It was very clear that Pedro met all of her needs and she came home very happy. I contacted Pedro extremely last minute to see if he could have Saffie for the first time the following day. He responded swiftly and was really very helpful throughout. I really appreciated receiving video updates and it was clear how caring, knowledgeable and attentive Pedro is with all dogs. I would absolutely have no hesitation in booking Pedro again and he even offered me some really useful training advice. Thank you Pedro for all your help.”

“Indie spent two days at daycare with Lucy and Coco, and we couldn’t be happier. As a shy girl, we were so pleased to see how eager she was to go back each day, it really meant a lot to us. Thank you, Lucy, for making Indie feel so at home and for all the lovely photos you shared. We’ve definitely found our pet sitter and will absolutely be coming back! 🐾💛”

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 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.
About: I genuinely treat every pet as if they were my own—with patience, affection, and attention to detail. What sets me apart is my experience with both puppies and senior pets, including administering medications, managing special diets, and providing gentle, age-appropriate care. I also have a strong understanding of animal behavior, which helps me quickly build trust with even the most shy or anxious pets. Whether your pet needs basic training, playtime, or just a calm companion while you’re away, I’m here to offer consistent, compassionate care. I am working part time so I am usually available in the day or evenings, but message me and I’ll be sure to try and help where I can! I care for pets in the owners home due to having my own pets, I will treat your home with total respect as if my own.
About: Hey! I am passionate about providing calm, reliable, and compassionate pet care. With hands-on kennel experience and years of caring for my own rescue dogs, I have a strong understanding of dogs with anxiety, reactivity, and additional care needs. I believe every dog deserves patience, love, and care that works for them as an individual. Offering dependable dog walking and drop-in visits designed to keep your pets comfortable, exercised, and happy in their own environment. I have a retired racer greyhound and a Romanian mongrel rescue and so I am very keen on looking after dogs ranging in needs and different approaches. I am happy to look after all breeds of dogs and listen to how best to take care of your dog⭐️ I work Monday-Wednesday as a Dental Nurse and am home Thursday-Sunday to offer walks and drop ins for your doggies. I can work around you and your schedule on these days to make sure your dogs are looked after and happy. I provide calm, reliable, and personalised care tailored to each pet’s individual needs and routine. In a pet owner’s home, I make sure pets feel safe and comfortable in their familiar environment by maintaining their usual feeding, walking, play, and toilet routines. I also provide companionship, enrichment, fresh water, medication if required, and regular updates for owners’ peace of mind. I will take lots and lots of photos don’t worry!🫶🏼 With experience working in kennels and caring for rescue dogs throughout my life, I am confident handling dogs with additional needs, anxiety, or reactivity. I approach every pet with patience, understanding, and positive handling to help them feel secure and relaxed. If caring for pets in my own home, I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment where pets are treated like family, with plenty of attention, exercise, rest, and one-to-one care. Obviously if they were in my home they would need to be happy to be around my two babies but as long as they’re okay mine are very friendly!
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.
About: I'm a 27 year old who has completed her animal care course. Part of this was an intensive 2 week internship at a doggy day care, where I have learned even more about dogs and their behaviour! Before that I did a 5 month internship at a petting zoo, so I've got experience with all kinds of animals. Ever since I was 4 years old, I have wanted a dog. Finally when I was 19, my parents and I adopted a stray from Spain. It was a challenge to gain her trust and to make her fit in the household but I loved every minute of it. To see how happy she is now and how much love she gives us, just makes my heart jump. Unfortunately my parents didn't allow me to take my dog when I moved out and I miss her very much. I miss dogs in my life right now and my house unfortunately doesn't allow dogs - nor is it very suitable for them. That's why I'd love to make your dog(s) happy instead and give them everything they need! I have also grown up with cats, guinea pigs, hamsters and even stick insects! Besides dogs, I also have experience with cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, rats, mice, gerbils, hamsters and fish. So if you would like me to look after any other pets, just message me for the options! I'm based in Thetford so for dog walking or house visits I can do anywhere locally. For house sitting I can do a bit further (within roughly 30 minutes). I'm working as an outdoor activity instructor, but caring for animals is what I'm really passionate about. So I'm trying to do that on the side whenever I can! I will adapt how I care for your beloved pet to their own specific needs. Every animal is different and they all have their own routines! Some like all the fusses, and some like to be left alone for a while. I can continue any training if you like as well and go on long walks! (if suitable)

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
“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 😊”

“Chestnut was with Pedro for 11 days. Pedro is great with dogs, he is very caring, attentive and sends regular updates and videos which is so helpful when you’re not with your dog baby. Chestnut loved her time at Pedro’s, she was in a loving home and was also kept busy being around other dogs, which she loves.”
“Harrison was great with Lennon this was the first time he had been left with a sitter so was a little nervous for the first few days but he soon settled into Harrison’s home and was very happy . Highly recommend thank you !”
“Laura was brilliant with Lola, took very good care of her and had excellent communication with us. We would definitely recommend, and will be booking Lola in with Laura again next time we are in the area”
“I was so happy with the care Tracey gave Jax. Brilliant and professional from start to finish. Nothing was to much for Tracey. Our dog is on medication which she had absolutely no problem with it. Daily photos and updates. Just brilliant. Thank you we will see you again next year. ? would recommend.”
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.
“Shane has been amazing with our Shar Pei, Luna. He made both her and us welcome from the start with our initial home visit and then her subsequent stay with him. It was her first time staying away from us and her home and all the time we were away Shane messaged and sent photos and videos of Luna regularly and we have to say she certainly looked very happy, comfortable and like she wasn’t missing us too much!!🤣 Shane was happy for us to message him too to see how she was as he knew we were worried as it was her first time away from home! She can be quite picky with her food but Shane said she was eating well which was so reassuring too. When we went to collect her we knew how much she loved Shane because she kept going to him for cuddles too before we left 😊 She has settled in well back at home and that tells us that she obviously felt at home with him and that not much had changed for her - she more or less has the run of our house and she did with Shane too. We cannot recommend him highly enough. He’s a lovely caring guy who obviously loves the dogs he cares for and treats them as his own 😊 Shane’s little boy was brilliant with Luna too. We’ll definitely be booking Luna to stay again though we think we’re going to have to book well in advance!🤣 Thanks again guys you’ve been fab. Luna sends a big sloppy kiss!!🤣 Bev & Jon 😊😊”
“We can highly recommend Lloyd. We left our two dogs with him and they had a Brilliant time. He sent us messages and photos of the boys and left totally safe leaving them with him”
“Our high spirited lab puppy Rocky was very well looked after and had a great time with Juno. Paulo and Francisco were excellent- great communication and kindly sent us photos too which were very much appreciated. Rocky is really looking forward to his next stay.”
“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.”
“Absolutely wonderful and friendly family that we have used several times to look ok after our dog whilst away. Our dog "Rambo" always seems to have had a great time. We were provided regular photos and updates throughout our time away. Would 100% recommend. No complaints at all.”
“Mat and his family were so accommodating, especially as we contacted last minute. Our doggie was well looked after and she seems to have really enjoyed herself. Would definitely recommend”
“Everything went really well from start to finish with Dee. Doug was so happy living with his new buddy Ron that I'm not sure if he really wanted to come home. I would highly recommend.”
“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”
“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!”
“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.”
“Monty had a WONDERFUL stay with Caroline and Steph!! She sent photos and videos every day so we could see he was happy and loved whilst with them. We also had a late return and they were very accommodating with that, which was very kind. To top it all off, Monty has come back super well behaved - it’s amazing! No more jumping and he’s been so relaxed and good as gold which only confirms how well cared he was. We won’t hesitate in leaving him with Caroline again. Thank you both for loving our baby as one of yours!”
“Eileen has been amazing with my mums dog, Polly. Mum went into hospital and we were scrambling for somewhere and I cannot believe we found someone who was such a god send. Shes brilliant with Polly, utterly spoilt and we have loved the updates. Could not recommend more. Thank you so much Eileen 💓”
