“Jakub and family always make our dog feel at home. They've looked after our dog 4 or 5 times now and communication & updates are always good. We trust them to care well for our dog. Thanks!”
“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 our first time using a dog sitter, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience! From the start, communication was great, and we got daily updates with pictures and videos of him playing with the other dogs — that put us at ease knowing he was enjoying himself. He came home happy, tired, and clearly well cared for. We’ll definitely be booking again!”
About: I grew up with dogs, so I understand the love, care and responsibility they need. I'd love to welcome your dog into our family and make sure they feel safe, happy and well cared for while you’re away. 🐶❤️ I work from home with flexible hours, so I can take breaks throughout the day to give your dog plenty of attention, walks and company. I’m available for boarding at any time of the day and can fit their routine around my schedule. 🐾❤️ I take your dog’s safety and wellbeing very seriously. I have a large, fully fenced garden where they can enjoy plenty of secure outdoor time, and I always follow the owner’s instructions regarding feeding, walks, routines and any specific needs. I am surrounded by plenty of green spaces and safe walking areas, giving dogs the opportunity to enjoy regular walks and exercise. I provide a calm, secure and loving home where your dog can feel safe, comfortable and well cared for.
“Used Linda on a couple of occasions now and will certainly use again in the future and recommend to family and friends. It’s always emotional leaving your fur baby behind but Linda makes us feel so reassured and keeps us updated with messages and photo’s - it’s always evident that Molly has a great time with Linda.”
“Left Loki and Reggie with their first stay for the one night at Christina’s, keeping me up date with their stay and lots of lovely photos of them really enjoying them selfs, taking them out for a walk, even though it was more like a workout for her. 🤣 With Loki being a super hype active pup who does not stop, she was extremely brilliant with them. 🥰 I would recommend her to anyone. Thank you so much Christina I’m sure my boys will see you again. 😁 🐕 🐕 ❤️x”
“Evellin has looked after our dog Evie several times, and she is always excellently looked after and has a great time. We love getting updates and photos, and don't have to worry about Evie while we're away as we know she's in great hands.”
“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!”
About: We have always had a dog as a family pet, from a puppy to a senior dog, Currently we have Daisy who is a 13 year old English Springer Spaniel. We have been the go to ones for both our family and friends whenever their dogs have needed looking after, overnight stays, walking etc. I hold a dog walking certificate.

We have a large fully enclosed garden for lots of play, which your dog will have the run of , and as we have Daisy there will be always someone to play with.

“Jessica was brilliant with our 2 cats when we went away for a week. She spent time with them on each visit and ensured they were fed and watered and very well looked after, whilst providing amusing and helpful updates and photos. You can tell she's a great lover of animals. Would highly recommend.”
“Zita was absolutely amazing! It was my first time leaving my cat alone for so long, but Zita first came to meet her and get familiar with the flat. Throughout my leave I was sent a drop in card with pictures and updates about my cat, I could tell that she was very happy and looked after. Zita was very friendly, caring and lovely!”
“First time we have used the Rover app for looking after our two cats and couldn’t recommend Oscar enough. Loved getting photos while we were away. I think Theo was gutted when we got home!”
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.
“Absolutely incredible cat sitter. Kirsten sent us pictures every day of our fur babies and how they were getting on, and playing with the cat toys. She's a wonderful and caring person and highly recommend to anybody that needs their cat looking after.”
“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: Most of my experience with cats comes from having four of my own, who I absolutely adore! I’ve also had experience caring for and handling cats while working in a veterinary setting. I know that every cat has their own personality and can take a little time to warm up to someone new, so I’m always patient and let them come to me in their own time. I really enjoy spending time with cats and making sure they feel happy, comfortable and well cared for while their owners are away. 🐱🤍
“We couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter! We had to find someone at the last minute while we were abroad, and she was absolutely amazing. She took such great care of our cats, kept us updated, and gave us complete peace of mind. We could even see on our camera how comfortable and happy our cats were around her – they clearly loved her! We are so grateful for all her help and would recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their pets.”
“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: 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.
“First time using the Rover app. Couldn’t be happier with Jesse looking after our two older cats. She’s gone above and beyond. Wouldn’t hesitate to book her again. Thank you Jesse.”
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
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.

“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: 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.
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.

“Today was lazers first day with Brett and as someone who's used the same day care for the last 7 years safe to say I was slightly nervous but it's been fantastic.

And today is great evidence of that, we got regular updates of our pooch living his best life and being so comfortable. Thank you so much! Definitely be bringing Lazer back”

About: I’ve struggled myself to find the right home to look after my precious boys. I offer a home from home setting where your dog(s) will receive lots of cuddles and lots of playtime. We have two male cockapoos, one of which is of senior age. We have previously had Great Danes (gorgeous breed) and have grown up round a variety of breeds. We have two children age 10 and 13 who have grown up around animals and absolutely love dogs and if your dog wants to run around with smaller humans they’re all for it. I work from home part time so I’m available for cuddles on the sofa and they can play freely with open access to the enclosed garden. We will accommodate so that everything is familiar to what they are used to for example sleeping in the kitchen, sleeping in a bedroom, being on furniture and so forth. We have a Vets locally who our dogs are registered with and plenty of green areas for dogs to have good walks. Any questions please feel free to ask. I know they are your babies and we will take great care of them. I work from home part time and I’m kept company by my two cockerpoos; one who is old and quite happily chills and the other who is seven and can always be encouraged to play. We have a secure enclosed garden where they will have access to play freely. We have lots of walks and greenery close by so they don’t have to do the same route all the time and can adapt the walks we take to your dogs needs.

“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.”

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.

About: I've owned a dog and also had experience with friend's dogs.

I am also available at short notice and also at weekends. I have a fenced garden and secure house, so your pet will be safe with me. I dont have a dog crate, so you will need to provide this if required.
“Hi Irina...it was a pleasure meeting you. Simba enjoyed his walks very much. Irina always used to come with a smile on her face and Simba used to be thrilled seeing her. She took good take care of our baby. We are very thankful for all your help. Hope to see you soon. We are your permanent customer for now on. Kind regards”
“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: Hello 😊 My name is Ayesha. I live by myself with my cocker spaniel, Pumpkin and mini goldendoodle, Casper. They are both very sweet, loving and playful dogs and are always very good with any dogs who stay in our home. I work from home most days and have weekends off, so I can give your furry friend as much attention as they need. I understand how nerve-racking it can be to leave your pet somewhere new, so I’ll send you updates and pictures throughout the day. Please let me know of any special requirements or requests you have to make your pets stay as comfortable as possible ❤️ I work from home most weekdays, except from a few days throughout the month I have to go into the office. I can walk your dog up to 3 times a day (morning, afternoon, evening). I live in a calm and loving household to ensure your pet feels at ease. I can cater to any special requirements and your dog will be able to make themself at home.
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've had pets for about 15 years. I've had rabbits, guinea pigs and family dogs. Ive looked after family and firends dogs when they have gone on holiday and I have looked after neighbours pets when they have been away. We have a lovely cavalier king charles spaniel. He is very friendly with other dogs, very energetic and playful. I feel like I'm good at helping train puppies as the dogs I have had, have learnt really well with command's. Me and my partner bith work hybrid jobs so we will always have plenty of time to give to your dog, as one of us will always be hime. I Will normally take short notice bookings as I understand things can be planned last minute. We have a kitchen/diner that has patio doors straight onto the garden. The garden is all enclosed. Every dog I have looked after, runs around with Bailey playing in the garden. We love going on long walks and walking around the lakes. If they get mucky then I'll be happy to give them them a quick bath or just wash their paws.
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
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.
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.
“Danielle looked after sungi yesterday. Sungi had an amazing time and really enjoyed her adventure. I get very worried being apart from Sungi but Danielle was incredibly reassuring, and reliable. It was such a relief to know sungi was safe and happy. Lovely to see the photos of their adventures too.”

“Used Linda on a couple of occasions now and will certainly use again in the future and recommend to family and friends. It’s always emotional leaving your fur baby behind but Linda makes us feel so reassured and keeps us updated with messages and photo’s - it’s always evident that Molly has a great time with Linda.”
“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!”
“Mandy agreed to look after our dog with very short notice, we arrange a quick meeting and trusted her straight away. Lovely, warm person who loves animals. Our dog was in very good hands. We got few updates (pics & video) which was much appreciated. Thank you.”
“Leia always has a wonderful time in the care of Eszter and loves playing with Ivy and her other new doggy friends. Eszter sends lots of updates either photos and totally feel at ease she is looked after and happy”
“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.”
“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 😊”
“Another amazing stay for Brad. We drove into the street where Kayleigh lives and Brad is howling with excitement, he runs in without looking back. When I went to pick him up he didn’t seem happy to be leaving. We know he is always happy when he goes to Kayleigh she is amazing.”
“Tracey and her daughter Carmen were brilliant with Twiglet and very accommodating to our changes in plans. She clearly had a great time exploring the local fields and area. Would 100% use again.”
“I picked Rummy up from his most recent stay with Kane. As per usual, Rummy had the best time. I don't think he wanted to leave just yet! Kane and Stephen treat Rummy as their own and I recieve daily updates when i'm away. The relief knowing my boy is safe and sound is priceless when i'm on holiday. For me, Kane is the only option outside of family that I would consider when I need someone to have Rummy.”
“It was a great experience with Virginie! I felt very comfortable as soon as i took Millie to meet her. I received a lovely video of Millie playing, so I know she was very happy aswell. Im looking forward to using Virginie again. I cant thank her enough. Shes great!”
“Helen looked after both our dogs at short notice, after an initial meeting with the dogs where Helen interacted with both of our dogs and then looked after them a week later Helen communicated with us brilliantly with photos of the dogs on walks and what they were doing in Helen’s house Helen administered our larger dogs medication as he’s just had an operation and also was great as we were waiting for scan results for him and could easily of not looked after them but Helen loved the company and both of our dogs loved the attention We would have no hesitation in recommending Helen or booking again and have already seen about them going back to Helen for when we move property Thanks Helen for doing a brilliant job with them both much appreciated”
“My Golden Retriever puppy had a wonderful stay with Jess and was very happy and serene when I picked him up. Jess sent me regular updates and took my puppy on lots of walks. I'm looking forward to organising another sitting.”

“Was our first time leaving our German shepherd in another house without us . I had explained Katie he can get anxious but she assured me that he will be in the best hands . I’ve received pictures throughout the whole stay and we couldn’t feel more at ease. Thank you again for having our baby in your care we will definitely recommend you and will use your services again!”
“Amy and her partner were absolutely amazing with our dog. Topaz has just returned from a weekend stay with them and has been so well looked after and cared for. I got pictures and updates for each day that she was with them which was very reassuring as I could see how much fun she was having. I wouldn't hesitate to book with Amy again, thank you 😊”
“Susie was super friendly and amazing with my staffy. She asked all the right questions and was concerned with understanding Holly’s routine correctly and keeping her safe and well cared for. She was really excited to look after Holly and Holly was incredibly settled and happy in Susie’s care which I could tell from the photos that Susie kindly kept me updated with. I had great peace of mind that Holly was in good hands and I’ve already booked Susie again. I highly recommend her. Thanks!”
