“Jakub and his family were amazing from start to finish. He kept me updated as to how Bella was getting on and sent photos of her (having a lot of fun!) She has returned to us happy and well cared for. We used to put her in kennels when we went away, but having met Jakub and his family and seen how well that looked after our pup, we will only use Jakub in the future.”
“This was our first and definitely not our last experience of booking a sitter. After the initial communication we arranged a visit to ensure Bonnie would feel happy to stay away for the night. The sitters were friendly, attentive and showed a great love for dogs. We would definitely recommend anyone to book and would have no concerns to have Bonnie stay here again. Thank you for taking good care of Bonnie while we went to watch Oasis.”
“Ayesha was amazing and I felt really comfortable leaving my dog with her. She also provided Pick up and drop off which made my life a lot easier. This was the first time using Ayesha and it just felt totally stress free. I will 100% be using her again.”
“Carla and Jim looked after our dog Mila for us, they are really friendly & professional. They welcomed Mila into their home with their dog Marlow and she couldn’t have settled better. Carla and Jim looked after Mila perfectly, they sent us regular updates and photos of how Mila was getting on, so whilst we were away we knew that Mila was safe and happy. We would highly recommend Carla and Jim, they are caring, kind, thoughtful and really accommodating. We will definitely be using Carla and Jim again as we feel completely happy and safe leaving our dogs with them. Thank you again x”
“This was the first time I’ve left my puppy overnight and I was apprehensive. Linda calmed me on our initial meeting and when it came to leaving her. She kept me updated and sent lovely photos. Paisley was extremely well cared for and spoilt with attention. I would certainly ask Linda to look after Paisley again and would highly recommend her to all.”

“Bianca was so knowledgeable about how to deal with my anxious dog. We didn’t have much time to prepare for her stay but I was confident after meeting Bianca that my girl would be well looked after. I got daily updates, showing how happy and settled my girl was and how well she had bonded with Bianca. I am so grateful to Bianca and so pleased my pup had a great time.”

About: We are an animal loving family, who have owned and fostered a variety of different pets. We owned and fostered cats and were able to help deliver to litters of kittens during this time. I am a stay at home mum, to a wonderful animal savy seven year old and we currently have 2 miniature dachshunds and 3 ponies. I always hated going away and leaving our cats behind, specially as they hated the cattery so much, unfortunately we found out my daughters allergic to cat dandruff, so we had to rehome our cats after months of trying to make it work. So I understand the anexity of leaving your babies with someone coming to check in on them and we love taking pictures so we will send lots of lovely updates about how they are doing. we are missing having cat cuddles so are happy to check in and love your cats in your own home but will not be able to take cats in our home due to my daughters allergies.
“Kayleigh was absolutely wonderful. She was kind, caring, and very cooperative throughout the whole process. Communication was excellent, and she made us feel completely at ease knowing our pet was in such good hands. We would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter. Thank you, Kayleigh!”
About: Cats have always had a very special place in my heart. I’ve shared my life with four wonderful cats, including one who was truly my world, and I understand the unique bond people have with their feline companions. I have experience caring for cats with different personalities and needs, from feeding and keeping routines to providing comfort, play, and companionship. I’ve also looked after other people’s cats both drops in and overnight stays and understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy caring for them while you’re away. I know cats can be very individual, so I always take the time to let them come to me, respect their space, and make sure they feel safe, happy and loved.
“Irina was very helpful and cooperative and took good care of our furry boys while we were away. She was responsive to messages and easy to communicate with, and everything was handled as arranged. We appreciate her support and thank her for looking after them.”
About: I am currently looking after a dog for a friend on a weekly basis, often going to the park, looking after him overnight, and sometimes day trips. I have raised my family dog since he was a puppy, so am fully aware of what that entails. When I go back home, I walk and take care of him. I live with my boyfriend who has had cats in the past, so I am used to having them in the house and how to take care of them. With this, I have lots of experience of walking, feeding, bathing, and keeping pets happy! I'm currently working from home full-time, so can look after pets at any time! My hours are also very flexible so I'm able to go for walks during my working day. I live in a flat, with a secure back garden that is fenced in. The front door to the flat block is always kept locked. I am happy to do whatever is needed to keep your pet safe and happy!

About: My prices may be a little higher than some on Rover, but I am the ONLY licensed dog boarder on this site in Peterborough. This means that I am regulated by the Council who have inspected my property and approved me as a professional boarder/daycare provider, governed by DEFRA regulations. Licence Number 119691 Issued by Peterborough City Council. Please use this link to receive £15 off your first booking with me…. https://www.rover.com/sit/lynnd34729 Please ensure any dog boarder or doggy daycare provider that you use, is licensed by the local Council. If they don’t display a license number, they haven’t got one !!! Any insurance that they may hold (including any that Rover give) will be invalidated….as any insurance will be, that you have. Don’t take the chance of something happening to your furbaby ! Ask to see the license…..to make sure. At Dixons dog sitters, we are BIG softies for all animals....but especially for dogs. I have owned and looked after dogs of my own now, for over 40 years and the profile photo shows our pup...7 year old Polly. I have now professionally looked after other peoples dogs for 4 years. I have full public liability insurance. I also hold a pet first aid certificate and a diploma in pet care. Our dog, Polly is such a fun little girl, who loves to play. Polly can sometimes be bossy with younger dogs, but once settled down they quickly form very close friendship bonds. She shares her toys, her home, her owners…and even her food with her new doggy friends. I am semi retired and work part time from home, so I am available 24/7 to pamper and care for your fur baby. Paul (my Husband) works nights, so is up and around from lunchtime every day, so there is ALWAYS someone at home. Your dog will never be left alone, and when it is too hot or too wet to go outside, there are always lots of toys to play with. They will DEFINITELY get spoiled when they holiday with Aunty Lynn and Uncle Paul ! We will care for small to medium sized dogs that fit the following criteria. However, we do occasionally take on bigger dogs (lurchers, labradors etc) Your dog needs to be socialised with other dogs. Not be aggressive in any way. Walk nicely on the lead. Be able to sleep alone or with other dogs. Please take a look at some of the reviews left by owners. Dixons dog sitters holds £2million public liability insurance and we will take care of your fur baby, as well as we take care of our own. I always insist on a meet and greet before your dog comes to stay. This will reassure you, that our house is a safe, secure, clean and loving environment. You get to meet our dog and any other dogs that are staying at the time. This makes the whole process so much easier to handle for everyone concerned. I know how stressful it can be, to leave your pets with anyone, other than family. We will never take dogs out in the heat of the day, or when it is raining heavily and won't let them off lead, unless told that they can be trusted to not run away. We have a large secure garden with shaded areas to play in, and enjoy indoor playtime and enrichment activities, when we are unable to go out for a walk, due to adverse weather conditions. We allow all dogs the full run of the house.....but have a barrier at the bottom of the stairs, and at the entrance to the kitchen, where they can be contained, if we open the front door. We are getting electric gates fitted soon. Every aspect is covered to keep them safe, secure and happy, whilst they are in my care. We always send lots of updates and photos to reassure owners. I am licensed to board 5 dogs at a time, so your dog needs to be well socialised and toilet trained. All dogs are walked once/twice a day....weather and ability dependant. All dogs are let out into our large secured garden to play, or go to the toilet every hour or so. In the Summer months, the back door is left open, so they can come and go as they please. Their last toilet break is usually around midnight. Your fur baby will become part of our family whilst you are away. There are no favourites in this household, and no forbidden areas. Everyone is treated the same. If Polly goes for a walk, so does your dog. If Polly gets a treat, so does your dog. You can enjoy your time away, knowing that your fur baby will not just be taken care of….they will be loved. Please read my testimonials. Lynn is semi retired and works from home and Paul works nights, so is up and about from lunchtime onwards. There is always at least one of us at home. We have a large private and secure garden where dogs can run and play. Enrichment activities are part of the day and walkies are twice daily. We have a barrier that is placed at the bottom of the stairs and a barrier to contain any dogs whilst we answer the front door.
About: Having had family pets my entire life, I understand just how much our furry friends become our best friends. I grew up with a very excitable dog (her name was Georgi) and a grumpy cat (her name was trainers), and I’ve been in love with anything with 4 legs ever since. I’ve dog sat, walked, fed, bathed, cleaned litter trays, scooped poop, you name it - and I’ve loved every second of it. I promise to smother your best friend in all the love they need while you’re away. I work from home with a fairly flexible schedule, so I can be on hand whenever needed. All I need is my laptop, which means I can also work from someone else’s home! I live in a house with a private garden so your dog has outside space to enjoy whenever they need it, as well as access to large parks nearby for longer walks.
About: I’ve had a dog my whole life when I was kid and now I have beautiful Belgian Malinois that has showed me how much I love caring for them I’ve become very good with trainings and play times since she’s very active which I know would help me with taking care of other dogs ❤️ My availability will vary on weekends and weekdays depending on my work schedules but give me a massage and I see what I can do I have a fence garden and a spare rooms if your dog would need to stay separate from my fur baby Always making sure I know as much as I can about the dog before the sittings

“Danielle kept us well informed with regards our cat Fluff's updates with pictures. We came home to a happy relaxed cat. Considering Fluff had been very unwell only a few weeks before she was remarkably perky on our return. My wife and I were delighted with Danielle looking after Fluff and would certainly use her again.”

“I had a great experience with Carla and Jim! I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and caring pet care. From the start, they were incredibly friendly and approachable, which immediately put me at ease. They arranged a meet and greet beforehand, which was a really thoughtful touch and helped both me and my dog feel comfortable before the stay as it was my first time using Rover. During the time they were looking after my dog, they provided regular updates and photos, which was so reassuring and showed how well my dog was being cared for. It was clear that my dog was happy, relaxed, and getting plenty of attention. I really appreciated the level of care and communication throughout. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Carla and Jim again and would definitely recommend them to other dog owners looking for someone trustworthy and kind to look after their pet! Thank you!”
About: Hi, I’m Daisy - the human behind Daisy’s Dog Club! I’m a lifelong dog lover and proud mum to Lucy, a fluffy cane corso cross with a big heart (and a big personality to match) 🤎 I grew up around rescue dogs and over the years, I’ve cared for various breeds and temperaments, from gentle giants to playful puppies! I know from experience that leaving your best friend in someone else’s care can feel scary, so I wanted to create a little community, where every member feels supported and special. For me, dogs are like family, and I’ll give yours the same attention and affection I’d give my own! My approach blends years of experience with a personal touch, to help each dog feel content and completely at home in my care 🤎 Thanks so much for considering me to care for your best friend. Please reach out if you have any questions, or if you’d like to arrange a meet and greet with your dog - I’d love to get to know you both and welcome you to the club 🐾 I have a flexible schedule and I’m available most days - this gives me plenty of time and freedom to provide personalised care, play and companionship for your best friend! I’ll always treat your home and your best friend with care and respect, but for extra peace of mind, my services are fully insured and I’m DBS checked. I take the time to learn your routine, so your dog’s time with me feels safe, familiar and stress free. I’ll ensure they have access to fresh water, exercise, enrichment and affection, while keeping a close eye on their health and wellbeing. I like to know your dog’s behaviours and boundaries, so I can adjust my care to suit them. I’ll also keep you in the loop with regular messages and photos, so you never have to wonder how they are!
About: I am work from home most of the time and I am a coparent to Albus, a friendly 4 year old Alaskan Klee Kai who is with me Tuesdays and Wednesdays. He is a very friendly and loving boy who will enjoy having a friend over. He also likes a good snooze during the day. I have a pretty stable schedule, pups will be walked a minimum of twice a day, am dog firstt aid trained and can accommodate any special feeding schedules. Working full time from home most times it means I am always at home for breaks, walks and supervised play. Please note I teach fitness classes every Wednesday from 6pm-9 pm, so I will not be able to cater for dogs not okay on their own. They will be walked/fed before I leave around 4.30pm. I live in my own home and there is plenty of space in my fenced garden for dogs to play. It's a very quiet environment. And if your dog is used to a crate I can ensure he is comfortable downstairs.
“We had a great experience with Cheddar’s doggy day care today with Ayesha. From the start, she kept us really well informed, sending lots of pictures and videos throughout the day which gave us real peace of mind that he was happy and settling in well. Cheddar looked so content in every update, and it was clear he was being well cared for and getting plenty of attention. The biggest sign of a successful day—he was completely exhausted and fast asleep the whole way home! We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Ayesha again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable and caring doggy day care.”
“My dog settled in well at Victoria's and got on very well with her dog Caesar. Victoria and her partner also took Simba out to the pub which was nice as he loves going to the pub. Victoria also updated me with many pictures all throughout the day and messages which was very nice. Simba had a fun day and I will most definitely be using Victoria again for future dog sitting 😊”
“Eszter has been amazing since (with very short notice) we started working with her in 2023. Totally reliable and flexible and everything we could ask for when it comes to both day care and dog boarding in a super friendly and homely environment.”
About: Myself and my husband are experienced dog owners, and have been around dogs our whole lives. We are happy to consider any dog breed and can handle large or small dogs. We had an Alaskan Malamute weighing 48kgs in her prime, sadly we lost her in August at 14 years old, so no trouble handling big and stubborn breeds! We do have a 14 year old cockerpoo called Alfie who is very tolerant and misses his companion - therefore dogs coming to us must be okay with other dogs. He is neutered. We have a loving family home with husband and wife team and grown up children who are always happy to play with dogs walk, entertain, exercise etc (children are 16, 19, 22 and are dog lovers like us!) We have a large enclosed garden for dogs to roam around in and are a cat free home. Boarding and doggy day care welcome, we often go to the seaside too, so if you pooch likes the beach they'd be welcome to come with us if they can travel in the car okay. Happy to answer any questions, or set up a meet and greet with your furbaby. I work part time 3 days a week and my husband works from home full time, so there is always someone around to keep you dog company and give them the love and care they need. Evenings and weekends we have 3 grown up children that are dog lovers like us, and are more than happy to help keep your dog entertained (children are 22, 19, 16 so not little kids). We have a large secure fenced garden for dogs to roam around in as they please. There is always someone at home. We have a 14 year old cockerpoo who misses his companion who we lost this year. He is a gentlemen. Happy to crate if needed, though we do not have a crate at the moment so this will need to be provided.
“Thank you Brett! Brett has looked after Jasper on a regular daycare basis and had him overnight and Jasper clearly loves spending time with him and the family. Brett plays with him regularly, taking him on long walks and sharing updates with us throughout the day (which we love to receive!). He's very conscientious, asking lots about Jasper during our first meeting. We feel really comfortable leaving Jasper in Brett's care, and know that he'll be having a great day when he's there. Couldn't recommend Brett more!”
“Many thanks Tom and your lovely family, for taking good care of Daisy yesterday. Our labradoodle is 11 now and it’s the 1st occasion we have left her with Tom. He sent through some lovely photos of Daisy with the children, which was very reassuring and gave us the confidence to know that she had settled in and will be fine when we leave her again. Hopefully next time the weather will be less soggy for your walks !”
About: I’ve always adored dogs and had multiple in my childhood. I currently have one dog, Toby. He’s a very cheeky Yorkie who loves playing ball and needs attention. My dream is to quit my full time corporate job and open up a doggy daycare. Most of my family and friends have dogs and we love socialising together and looking after eachothers dogs when needed. I want to help you to take away the pressure and make sure your furry companion is well looked after. Every dog needs that little bit of extra care which is so important for their well being. So whether it’s a walk, a belly rub or a fetch play session I’m here. As I work from home I have full flexibility to assist your needs and make sure that your companion can have adequate toilet breaks and a friend whilst you’re not there. If you have any questions please feel free to reach out!☺️ I work from home, so pet care is super easy as I don’t have commute commitments. Having a dog myself I always make sure to have time for multiple daily walks and playtime. I have a 5ft fenced garden with enough space to play and go out for a wee if needed. We have multiple nice walking paths around the area to excercise the dogs and frequently go to country parks for longer adventures.
“Christina and her family are incredible! We were on a trip to the north when we stopped in town to see a show with our daughter! We needed someone to look after our pups last minute and I couldn’t be more thankful that we stumbled upon Christina’s profile! Christina came and met us at the theatre as we were running late and collected the dogs, was very understanding and helpful, kept us updated on how the dogs were with pictures and texts and even had the kids playing with our pups! If I’m completely honest, I think the dogs were sad to be leaving as they’d had so much fun! If we are ever in the area again, I will definitely use Christina again!!”
“Excellent sitter, accepted last minute booking and an early morning start on a weekend. Enzo had lots of cuddles and wouldn’t leave Ella’s side which means he took to her really well :) would definitely recommend Thank you so much :)”

“Today Oscar visited us again, my dogs recognised him immediately and were very happy of seeing him again. This time after walking my 2 boxers together he also helped me to teach them how to use a special stair for the car boot which I have recently purchased. I can tell that the whole experience was very positive. I learn a lot from Oscar every time on how to interact with my dogs, how to create an easy going environment for the future. Visibly he has a wealth of knowledge on training dogs and control them with kindness, calmness and good energy.”

“We met Irina today as the meet and greet prior to her boarding our dog, and we left feeling confident and reassured that he will be in good hands. She clearly knows dogs and how to manage their 'quirks'..! Most of all she came across as caring and kind.”
“Elżbieta was extremely professional from start to finish. My dogs instantly fell in love with her, flipping on their backs for belly rubs! My dogs can be much but Elżbieta dealt with it with no issues and exceeded my expectations. After the walk I’ve had lots of pictures and being in a different country so far away it put my mind at ease to see an extensive report on the wellbeing of my babies. I would highly recommend Elzbieta, you can tell she has so much love for the animals she will do her utmost best to make sure they’re well looked after!”
About: I have grown up with all different breads of dogs all my life from when I was a baby to then owning my own dogs. I have worked with numerous dogs and breads. I work remotely, so I am always at home. We have a very loving home and believe a dog should be able to enjoy a home with no restrictions. We have a beautiful loving cockapoo who is great with other dogs and enjoys walks, cuddles and play time. As I work from home, I’m around throughout the day and able to give your dog plenty of attention, company and care. We have a garden for regular toilet breaks and playtime, and I love getting out for walks around our local area, which has lots of lovely places to explore. I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual routine as closely as possible, including their normal feeding, walking and rest times. Your dog will be cared for in our family home and treated as one of our own. We have a secure garden where they can safely play and relax, and I’ll always supervise them when they’re outside. I have a friendly Cockapoo who enjoys having doggy company, but I’ll make sure any interaction is comfortable and appropriate for your dog. I’ll take the time to get to know your dog’s personality, routines and individual needs, and I’ll follow any instructions you provide around feeding, walks, medication or anything else that helps them feel at home. Your dog’s safety, happiness and wellbeing will always come first.
About: I have always had a strong love for animals, especially dogs, as I grew up surrounded by lots of different pets. Being around animals from a young age has helped me develop a natural understanding of how to care for them, be patient with them, and make sure they feel safe, happy and comfortable. My experience as a dog sitter is something I really enjoy because I love spending time with dogs and getting to know their individual personalities and needs. I understand the importance of giving them plenty of attention, exercise, fresh air and companionship while their owners are away. One of my favourite parts of dog sitting is taking dogs out for walks. I enjoy giving them the opportunity to explore, exercise and have fun, while also benefiting from being outdoors myself. Going for regular walks with a dog helps me stay active and supports my own health and wellbeing, making it something that I find both enjoyable and rewarding. Overall, looking after dogs is something I am passionate about. Growing up with pets, combined with my experience caring for animals, has taught me to be responsible, caring and attentive. I would always treat someone else's dog with the same care and respect that I would give to my own pets. Working from home allows me to provide dogs with the attention, care and companionship they need throughout the day. Because I work remotely, I have the flexibility to take regular breaks to feed them, let them outside, give them attention and take them out for walks. Being at home also means dogs are not left alone for long periods of time, which can help them feel more comfortable and settled. I can easily fit walks and playtime around my working schedule while still making sure my work commitments are met. I really enjoy being around dogs while I work, and I believe my home-based routine is ideal for dog sitting. It allows me to give each dog plenty of care and attention while providing a safe, calm and loving environment for them. Although my garden is on the smaller side, it is fully fenced and provides a safe and secure space for dogs to have regular toilet breaks and get some fresh air throughout the day. I understand that the garden is not intended to replace proper walks and exercise, but it is a convenient and secure space for quick toilet breaks whenever needed. I also live next to a beautiful bank and walking area, which is perfect for giving dogs plenty of exercise and outdoor stimulation. I regularly take my family’s dog there for walks and really enjoy spending time outdoors with him. The area provides a lovely environment for dogs to explore, get some exercise and enjoy their surroundings. Having both a secure garden and such a beautiful walking area nearby means I can provide dogs with regular toilet breaks, exercise and plenty of opportunities to enjoy the outdoors.
“Big thanks to Ugne for looking after Maniek while I was away. Despite the short notice, she was flexible and made sure to spend time with him. Really appreciate her great care and effort!”
About: 🐾 Welcome to Evellin and Gabriele’s Dog Sitting Services! 🐾 Hello there! I'm Evellin, and I'm thrilled to have the opportunity to care for your beloved furry friends. Let me share a little about myself and why dogs hold a special place in my heart. Ever since I was a child, I've been captivated by the joy and companionship that dogs bring into our lives. Growing up with dogs as part of our family, I learned firsthand the profound bond that forms between humans and their canine companions. For me, dogs aren't just pets; they're cherished members of the family. Their unwavering loyalty, boundless energy, and heartwarming affection never fail to brighten my day. Whether it's a wagging tail, a playful bark, or a loving cuddle, every moment spent in the company of a dog fills me with happiness and gratitude. Our motivation as a dog sitter stems from our deep understanding of the importance of providing a safe, loving, and nurturing environment for dogs when their owners are away. We know how essential it is for pet parents to have peace of mind knowing that their furry friends are in capable and caring hands.

About: I have a lifetime of experience caring for both dogs and cats, including having pets of my own and working in a kennels for a year. This gave me hands-on experience caring for a variety of dogs, understanding their different personalities, routines and needs. I’m confident with feeding, walking, cleaning, providing enrichment, and making sure animals feel safe, comfortable and cared for. I understand that every pet is an individual, and I always take the time to build trust and make them feel at ease. After losing my own pets, I’m looking forward to reconnecting with animals and providing the same love, attention and companionship to other people’s pets I work part-time and also work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to offer pet care around my working hours. I’m available for lunchtime visits and walks, as well as after-work appointments, making it easier to fit around your pet’s routine. I understand how important consistency and companionship are for pets, and I’ll always make sure they receive plenty of attention, care and affection while you’re away. I am available anytime during the weekends an my days off. I provide care in your pet’s own home, where they feel most comfortable and secure. I understand that keeping their normal routine is important, so I take the time to follow their usual feeding, walking and care schedule. During visits, I’ll provide companionship, playtime, feeding, fresh water, toilet breaks, and plenty of attention. For cats, I’ll respect their individual personalities and give them space if they need it while making sure they feel safe and cared for. I’ll always treat your home and your pets with the same care and respect I would give my own.
About: My prices may be a little higher than some on Rover, but I am the ONLY licensed dog boarder on this site in Peterborough. This means that I am regulated by the Council who have inspected my property and approved me as a professional boarder/daycare provider, governed by DEFRA regulations. Licence Number 119691 Issued by Peterborough City Council. Please use this link to receive £15 off your first booking with me…. https://www.rover.com/sit/lynnd34729 Please ensure any dog boarder or doggy daycare provider that you use, is licensed by the local Council. If they don’t display a license number, they haven’t got one !!! Any insurance that they may hold (including any that Rover give) will be invalidated….as any insurance will be, that you have. Don’t take the chance of something happening to your furbaby ! Ask to see the license…..to make sure. At Dixons dog sitters, we are BIG softies for all animals....but especially for dogs. I have owned and looked after dogs of my own now, for over 40 years and the profile photo shows our pup...7 year old Polly. I have now professionally looked after other peoples dogs for 4 years. I have full public liability insurance. I also hold a pet first aid certificate and a diploma in pet care. Our dog, Polly is such a fun little girl, who loves to play. Polly can sometimes be bossy with younger dogs, but once settled down they quickly form very close friendship bonds. She shares her toys, her home, her owners…and even her food with her new doggy friends. I am semi retired and work part time from home, so I am available 24/7 to pamper and care for your fur baby. Paul (my Husband) works nights, so is up and around from lunchtime every day, so there is ALWAYS someone at home. Your dog will never be left alone, and when it is too hot or too wet to go outside, there are always lots of toys to play with. They will DEFINITELY get spoiled when they holiday with Aunty Lynn and Uncle Paul ! We will care for small to medium sized dogs that fit the following criteria. However, we do occasionally take on bigger dogs (lurchers, labradors etc) Your dog needs to be socialised with other dogs. Not be aggressive in any way. Walk nicely on the lead. Be able to sleep alone or with other dogs. Please take a look at some of the reviews left by owners. Dixons dog sitters holds £2million public liability insurance and we will take care of your fur baby, as well as we take care of our own. I always insist on a meet and greet before your dog comes to stay. This will reassure you, that our house is a safe, secure, clean and loving environment. You get to meet our dog and any other dogs that are staying at the time. This makes the whole process so much easier to handle for everyone concerned. I know how stressful it can be, to leave your pets with anyone, other than family. We will never take dogs out in the heat of the day, or when it is raining heavily and won't let them off lead, unless told that they can be trusted to not run away. We have a large secure garden with shaded areas to play in, and enjoy indoor playtime and enrichment activities, when we are unable to go out for a walk, due to adverse weather conditions. We allow all dogs the full run of the house.....but have a barrier at the bottom of the stairs, and at the entrance to the kitchen, where they can be contained, if we open the front door. We are getting electric gates fitted soon. Every aspect is covered to keep them safe, secure and happy, whilst they are in my care. We always send lots of updates and photos to reassure owners. I am licensed to board 5 dogs at a time, so your dog needs to be well socialised and toilet trained. All dogs are walked once/twice a day....weather and ability dependant. All dogs are let out into our large secured garden to play, or go to the toilet every hour or so. In the Summer months, the back door is left open, so they can come and go as they please. Their last toilet break is usually around midnight. Your fur baby will become part of our family whilst you are away. There are no favourites in this household, and no forbidden areas. Everyone is treated the same. If Polly goes for a walk, so does your dog. If Polly gets a treat, so does your dog. You can enjoy your time away, knowing that your fur baby will not just be taken care of….they will be loved. Please read my testimonials. Lynn is semi retired and works from home and Paul works nights, so is up and about from lunchtime onwards. There is always at least one of us at home. We have a large private and secure garden where dogs can run and play. Enrichment activities are part of the day and walkies are twice daily. We have a barrier that is placed at the bottom of the stairs and a barrier to contain any dogs whilst we answer the front door.

About: I’ve had dogs all my life, i have grown up with them from a young girl and enjoyed every aspect of what they bring to life. The playing, walks, even conversation’s. Any dog I look after I build a friendship with. I am familiar with training techniques and tools but ideally aim for a dog to have the best time. I have a home where I can offer your pet a good sized garden with plenty of toys, a home where they are free to roam and treat it like their own. I currently work from home so I have time to look after my own Labrador and would to help people look after there’s too. I understand all to well how difficult it can be to balance work, life, pets, children etc. even if you just fancy a day out with you’re dog being looked after. I walk my labrador 3 times a day and we take many different scenic walks, or sometimes a play in the garden and a run. I have a good sized garden, which backs on to fields and surrounding by walls. I am in a quiet location where you can be assured they will be relaxed. I am able to crate/seperate some dogs if necessary. I can also travel to the owners home for drop ins, walks, plays or just some company

Your dog will be well cared for in a home from home environment with regular updates and photos, and given all the love that I give to my own pets. I am a registered paramedic and work shifts. I will only be accepting bookings on my days off and annual leave, meaning I will be home the majority of time with your dog during their stay. I will require a meet and greet prior to the booking to ensure our dogs get on well and make sure we are the right fit. This will also hopefully put you at ease before the booking. I'm very experienced with senior dogs with medical conditions such as arthritis and joint issues. I work as a paramedic and do shifts. I have blocks of days off and will only be accepting bookings on my days off and annual leave. This ensures I am home for the majority of time for your dogs stay. I have a fully enclosed and gated garden with a lock. I also have the ability to separate off my stairs and lounge area if needed. However, there are no restrictions in my home and dogs are allowed on the sofa and bed (if they wish)

It was such a relief to know sungi was safe and happy. Lovely to see the photos of their adventures too.”

“This was the first time I’ve left my puppy overnight and I was apprehensive. Linda calmed me on our initial meeting and when it came to leaving her. She kept me updated and sent lovely photos. Paisley was extremely well cared for and spoilt with attention. I would certainly ask Linda to look after Paisley again and would highly recommend her to all.”
“Ayse was so helpful to us this weekend, and our dog was clearly well-looked-after and had the best time. Thank you so, so much, and we’ll definitely be coming back to Ayse in the future.”

The updates and messages helped us relax knowing our girls were also having a great holiday with you and we could enjoy our time away I wast sure they would want to come home with us at the end of the stay as they had so much fun. Thank you again for looking after them and I am sure they will be already looking forward to there next stay with you”

“Thank you Eszter, Craig and beautiful Ivy for looking after Bertie with such kindness. Highly recommended, Bertie is so settled when he is staying with you. Thank you so very much xx”
“Jo and Ian were the perfect sitters for our Millie. They keep us updated throughout her stay re how she was getting on and sent photos so we could see how relaxed and happy she was, as well as being perfectly spoilt throughout her stay. We would definitely use them again.”
“Kayleigh was fantastic with Inky. Inky is an older dog and so needs a little extra care, which she clearly gave to him. He came back very happy from his stay and loved spending time with Kayleigh. Her communication was great and she was brilliant value for money. Would definitely recommend and will use Kayleigh again!”
“Rosie has had such a fun day!!!! Lovely walks and lots of fuss, she's certainly felt relaxed and at home. Jonathan and his wife looked after Rosie really well for the day. Thankyou 😊”
“A lovely young couple who came to our rescue after we were let down by family at the last minute. We contacted them that morning, and they welcomed Evie into their home just a few hours later. They gave us frequent updates and photos, took our very energetic Australian Shepherd on lots of long walks, and stuck closely to her routine. When we collected her, they gave us a detailed rundown of her stay and even gave us some candles to thank us for choosing them! They seemed genuinely delighted to have Evie and made her feel like part of their family, rather than simply treating dog sitting as a business. We’d happily book with them again!”
“We’re so grateful to Tracey and her family for looking after our two dogs while we were away. They kept us updated almost daily with pictures and videos, which really put our minds at ease as it was our first time leaving our dogs with someone for more than a day. We loved seeing the dogs enjoying their walks, their trip to the beach, and settling in so well. They clearly felt at home and got on well with the family members and their dog. Thank you again for taking such good care of them — we couldn’t have asked for more! Will definitely come back to you for when we're next away!”
“Sarah and her daughter were absolutely wonderful with our pug!! Providing us pictures everyday and they have a great park near their house where Luna was able to play! Highly recommend!!”
“Having needed to get my greyhound Rummy in somewhere for the weekend whilst I was away, I could not have been more lucky that Kane was available. After having never boarded Rummy in someone else's home I was a bit anxious but after conversing with Kane and then taking Rummy and seeing where he was staying those worries evaporated. Rummy settled in straight away. Kane kept me updated a couple of times a day and asked what my preference would be for the number of updates which I thought was very kind. When picking Rummy up he was pleased to see me but I could tell he'd had a great time. I have a very content dog and will 100% be using Kane in the future.”

About: What sets me apart is my hands-on experience caring for dogs with different needs and personalities. I've confidently looked after multiple dogs at the same time and have experience providing longer-term care, including looking after dogs for three weeks while their owners were away in Canada. I understand how important it is for dogs to feel safe, comfortable, and loved when their family is away.I enjoy keeping dogs active and engaged, tailoring their care to suit their breed, age, and energy levels. For dogs that enjoy adventure, I love taking them on longer walks and exploring new places, giving them plenty of exercise, stimulation, and fun. I treat every dog as if they were my own, ensuring they receive lots of attention, affection, and the highest standard of care. I work from home 4-5 days a week and then don’t work weekends. I can look after dogs whilst working, after work, before work and at the weekends. I do this with my own dog. By feeding them, playing with them, checking in on them, rubbing their bellies and stroking/cuddling them. Creating a safe and cosy place for them to feel comfy and at home.
