“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.”
“Carla and Jim looked after our 6 month old puppy for the weekend and we couldn’t have been happier with the love and care our Betsy received. We had lots of pupdates with pictures and could see our fur baby was really cared for. We will definitely be using these lovely people again and would highly recommend them.”
“Tom and his family were amazing and Lacey was so well looked after with them. I got several updates duting the day and felt totally happy knowing she was being well looked after. The children loved Lacey and played with her, which Lacey loves. Totally recommend and will definitely uise them again. Thank you!”
“Well if Missy could speak she’d tell you what a wonderful time she’s enjoyed with Millie. She’s been on walks, had cuddles and thoroughly enjoyed her holiday! As Missy’s owner I knew immediately that my little diva Cavapoo was in love the moment she met Millie! I had updates and photos every day and could enjoy my break away knowing that Missy was having an equally fun time! Thank you Millie for being so special, so kind and so generous with your canine love. If you’re looking for home-from-home for your pooch and peace of mind during your absence then Millie is a MUST!”
“We met Linda prior to Noodles stay, such a lovely lady. Noodles had a great time. Linda kept us updated with pics and messages at least once every day. Noodles is on medication twice daily and Linda was happy to administer his tablets. I can't recommend Linda highly enough we will certainly be letting Noodles stay with Linda again xx”
“We really highly recommend Kane. First time for our 3 year old Whippet to be away from us and all the worry was for nothing. She was there with my older dog and was home from home for them. Great up dates and pictures. Both dogs well cared for and happy. Thank you so much and will definitely use again”
“Irina was amazing with my dog, Pluto! So attentive, kept me fully informed and Pluto came home relaxed. My previous boarder he would come home distressed but he was very chilled. Would highly recommended!! Thanks Irina 🥰”
“Janet and Bruce are just extraordinary. Their love of dogs is reflected clearly in the care and attention they gave my boy. I was nervous to leave my dog as he’d only been away from me once before, but I have no hesitation in saying I would ask them to watch Jack again in a heartbeat. They are calm and experienced, and sent photos and videos during his stay, as well as making sure he was happy as can be with lots of exercise, play, and cuddles. It was obvious how much Jack loved his time there when it was time to collect him, too. I highly recommend them if you want a couple who will care for your dog(s) as if they were their own. I couldn’t be happier and wish I could give them extra stars! Thank you both so much.”
“10/10 would highly recommend. My 2 dogs recently stayed overnight with Terry and his family. Lots of photos and regular updates. My dogs had a wonderful time and were very well looked after.”
“Our dog jack stayed with Tom and his family for a weekend, Jack was recovering from an operation which hadn't healed very well and needed medication. Tom looked after him extremely well and gave us lots of updates putting us at ease. Jack seemed extremely settled with him. We will definitely be asking Tom to look after Jack again when we're away I'm the future. Couldn't be happier”
“Veronika and her family were lovely and made Teddy feel very welcome. We were updated daily with lots of photos while we were away. I dont think Teddy wanted to come home.”
“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”
“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”
“Mandy looked after our cocker spaniel for a week - it was our first time using a dog sitter and Mandy was great. Wispa was looked after as per our instructions (due to an underlying health condition) with no issues and Wispa was very healthy and happy when we picked her up! Mandy sent regular updates throughout the week to ensure we knew Wispa was happy. We would 100% recommend Mandy to anyone and in fact have booked her again to look after our dog!”
“Sandra went above and beyond when our train was delayed meaning we would struggle to pick up the dogs on time and she drove the 30 mins each way to drop them off at my daughter’s house. Both dogs seemed to have enjoyed their time with Sandra. Such a shame she is over an hour away from my home.”
“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!”
“Sarah was fantastic. She was welcoming and put me straight at ease leaving our kitten with her. Sarah sent lots of photos and our cat was obviously very relaxed and having a lovely time. I would definitely recommend Sarah as a pet sitter.”
“We have never left our cockerpoo off with anyone but family! but Stacey was brilliant. Oliver had a lovely time with Stacey’s family, he loves children and other dogs so he was in his element! Thank you for giving us a worry free break where we knew Oliver was in good hands by receiving photos and messages throughout the stay. 10/10 service would highly recommend. Stacey also took this booking very last minute with very quick responses which is very much appreciated! Thank you for looking after Bobby !”
“Scott was an absolutely fantastic home boarder for my two sausage dogs, and I couldn’t be happier with the care he provided. From the moment I dropped them off, it was clear they were in safe and loving hands. The dogs had a wonderful time and settled in so well - it was obvious they felt right at home. Scott’s communication throughout their stay was brilliant; he kept me updated with regular messages and photos, which really put my minds at ease. I would highly recommend Scott to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional pet boarder.”

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!
“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!”
“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.”
“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’ve had my own dog since I was 15 years old and before that was walking dogs for friends, neighbours and family. I have been on Rover for over a year now and have looked after some wonderful dogs! I have my own dog now, my gorgeous cockapoo Posie! If booking for doggy daycare please be advised your dog will have to be friendly with other dogs as Posie will be here too 😊 I am available for pet sitting and walking over the weekends and can help out with toilet breaks during the day on these days, I can sometimes do week days but my schedule changes each week. I can do early morning or evening walks on week days. I will work around your schedule in your home and follow your lead to ensure your pets get consistency with me. We can make a plan together to make sure they feel safe and loved in my care!
“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.
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.

“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!”
“Christina was amazing with our Dog Bonnie. Bonnie has lots of energy so Christina gave her lots of play in her large secure garden and took her for a long walk.

“Millie very kindly helped me out at short notice to have Tilly. The moment I arrived on the drive Tilly was so excited and happy to see Millie. Tilly clearly loves spending time with Millie which is reassuring for me. Thank you once again Millie 🙏x🐾x”
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.
About: I grew up cats and dogs around me. I’m the one when family or friends need someone to look after their babies . I love spending time with pets. I’m not working at the moment so I have plenty of time to look after pets and go for long walks with them and be there for them all the time. I do not have a garden I have julliet balconies but covered with nets so it’s not a danger for pets. I do not have anything to cause danger for animals at home.

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. When you entrust your precious pup to our care, rest assured that they'll be treated with the same love and attention as if they were our own. From engaging playtime and stimulating walks to cozy cuddles and comforting companionship, we committed to ensuring that your furry family member feels happy, healthy, and loved every step of the way. Thank you for considering us as your dog sitter. we can't wait to meet you and your furry friend and embark on this wonderful journey of wagging tails and joyful adventures together! Me and my partner both work from home. Warm woofs and wags, Evellin & Gabriele We work from home in a cozy two-bedroom house with a small garden, we offer flexible availability to care for and walk your small or medium-sized dog.

About: I've owned a dog and also had experience with friend's dogs. I love to walk in nature, so would be able to walk your dog in pretty places, with lots of stimulation :) I currently work from home, so always have time for animals in my care. 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.
“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!”
“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.”
“Elzbieta took Echo for 2 walks for me and arranged a meet and greet before hand. Echo took to her very well. On the walks, I was updated after that Echo had done several pee and poo breaks and was sent some very lovely photos of him. She communicated well with me. I would definitely trust her to walk Echo again and recommend her to others looking for a dog walker 😊”
“You know you have a great person, when your dogs are waiting by the door listening for a certain car to pull up. The pack absolutely adore walks with Ellana, she keeps me informed on arrival and when the dogs return they are ready to sleep! Will definitely be booking again.”

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: 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 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 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 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 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.

“We met Linda prior to Noodles stay, such a lovely lady. Noodles had a great time. Linda kept us updated with pics and messages at least once every day. Noodles is on medication twice daily and Linda was happy to administer his tablets. I can't recommend Linda highly enough we will certainly be letting Noodles stay with Linda again xx”
“We really highly recommend Kane. First time for our 3 year old Whippet to be away from us and all the worry was for nothing. She was there with my older dog and was home from home for them. Great up dates and pictures. Both dogs well cared for and happy. Thank you so much and will definitely use again”
“Irina was amazing with my dog, Pluto! So attentive, kept me fully informed and Pluto came home relaxed. My previous boarder he would come home distressed but he was very chilled. Would highly recommended!! Thanks Irina 🥰”
“Janet and Bruce are just extraordinary. Their love of dogs is reflected clearly in the care and attention they gave my boy. I was nervous to leave my dog as he’d only been away from me once before, but I have no hesitation in saying I would ask them to watch Jack again in a heartbeat. They are calm and experienced, and sent photos and videos during his stay, as well as making sure he was happy as can be with lots of exercise, play, and cuddles. It was obvious how much Jack loved his time there when it was time to collect him, too. I highly recommend them if you want a couple who will care for your dog(s) as if they were their own. I couldn’t be happier and wish I could give them extra stars! Thank you both so much.”
“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”
“Mandy looked after our cocker spaniel for a week - it was our first time using a dog sitter and Mandy was great. Wispa was looked after as per our instructions (due to an underlying health condition) with no issues and Wispa was very healthy and happy when we picked her up! Mandy sent regular updates throughout the week to ensure we knew Wispa was happy. We would 100% recommend Mandy to anyone and in fact have booked her again to look after our dog!”
“Sandra went above and beyond when our train was delayed meaning we would struggle to pick up the dogs on time and she drove the 30 mins each way to drop them off at my daughter’s house. Both dogs seemed to have enjoyed their time with Sandra. Such a shame she is over an hour away from my home.”
“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!”
“Wonderful family to look after your dog! We Had lots of updates and our dog Terry made himself at home with Sarah and family very quickly! In fact I’m pretty sure he copped a strop when we bought him home because hes been missing his little friend Rudi. Thank you so much for having him, would definitely recommend and would definitely use again 🙂”
“Honestly cannot recommend Carmen and her family any more. Our Doberman Derek always has THE most Fabulous time with them and Luna, making new friends and getting absolutely spoilt rotten. He sulks everytime we pick him up. Absolutely wonderful host, thank you!”
“Kaos really enjoyed his time away, he has some issues with having 1 eye and needing some meds but they looked after him well, even when he got stressed on day one. Calmed and enjoyed the rest of his stay. I would definitely recommend Billie and Kane as they were so understanding and he came back feeling happy and he was so excited when we got back which was lovely as he is heading to 16 years old but can be puppy like but needs the support too, Thank you both, can’t wait to book again..”
