“We couldn't have asked for better people to look after our dog. From the moment we met them, it was clear how caring, kind, and genuine they are. They treated our dog like one of their own, and it gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We received regular updates and lots of lovely photos, which meant so much to us and reassured us that our dog was happy, relaxed, and being so well cared for. It was obvious how much love and attention they gave throughout the stay. We are incredibly grateful for everything they did and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable dog sitter. Thank you so much for taking such amazing care of our dog – we'll definitely be booking with you again!”
“6 stars, not 5. Shirley's care of our dog, Meatball, was on par with our own. We had regular photo updates throughout the day. Meatball had her hind legs walked off, other doggies to play with, a big, spacious property to run around and play in and lots of fuss and attention. My partner and I said the next time we need Meatball looking after we will have 0 reason to look any further than Shirley. We cannot fault Shirley and her husband's care and attention with our dog. It was a pleasure to meet both of them. I cannot understate how please we are with their services x”
“Nina and her family welcomed Teilo into the home with warmth and reassurance. Nina is experienced with, and knowledgeable about dogs and has a calm, confident and affectionate manner with them. Teilo settled in very quickly and got lots of walks, play and attention. It was great for him to be with Nina's two dogs who were friendly and accepting of Teilo in their home, as he doesn't often get time with other dogs. I got regular communication and lots of photos. I will be using Nina again and recommend her to anyone looking for a five star sitter.”
“Christina is absolutely amazing, Evie had the best time and we didn't think she'd want to come home because every video, picture etc showed her having a brilliant time. She was treated like one of the family and you can see how much both of them adore the animals they look after”
“Paul and Sarah were perfect, their home and grounds are ideal and they gave Monty and Rufus a thoroughly enjoyable and relaxing home from home experience. We’re delighted to have found them and have already rebooked.”
“Highly recommend Heidi, my dog Ernie is usually very nervous but took to her straight away and I felt happy to leave him, lots of photos and updates made me even more reassured, will be taking him back next week when we go on holiday, Ernie settled in very quickly which surprised me but it’s credit to Heidi for sure”
About: I have been lucky enough to have grown up with dogs and have always had a four legged companion. I have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Growing up around dogs has taught me how to understand their individual needs and make them feel safe, happy, and loved. I provide a calm, caring, and reliable environment where every dog is treated like part of the family. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply a quiet place to relax, I'll make sure they receive plenty of attention and care. I'm comfortable following feeding schedules, administering basic medications if needed, and sticking to your dog's usual routine to help them feel at home. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I'll keep you updated with regular photos and messages throughout their stay, giving you peace of mind while you're away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine,as I have fury friends of my own. As a part-time shift worker, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. On my days off, I'm home for most of the day, and even on workdays I carefully plan my schedule to ensure dogs receive regular walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of affection. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I do my best to stick to their usual routine to help them feel comfortable and settled. There are lovely walks around the area I live and I enjoy planning new adventures for my fury friends. I follow each pet's usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions provided by their owner. I have a large, fully fenced garden where dogs can safely run, play, and explore under my supervision. Inside, they'll have plenty of space to relax and will be treated like part of the family, with lots of attention, affection, and companionship.
About: I grew up with pets so I know what it takes to keep them happy & healthy. I am very energetic and good at keeping control of the leash during walks. Beagles have a special place in my heart. I have owned birds, bunnies, guinea pigs, cats, fish, and dogs. Dogs are the world's greatest friends. Having me as a dog walker/sitter will make you feel at ease because you know your dog is safe with me. I am very reliable, and have good references. I am available any day and time. I work from home, which provides a lot of flexibility and allows me to spend time with my dog and take care of others. I have a friendly beagle to keep your dog company. Dogs are allowed upstairs and on the furniture. My home is there home! There are quiet spaces provided if your dog prefers to be in its own environment.
“Jake has only been left with family before so it was a different environment for him. Billie was very patient with Jake as he is an older dog and can be stubborn. I was kept up to date with photo's which was lovely. I would be happy to recommend Billie and for Jake to stay again.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 11, family, friends and neighbours have always asked me to walk and care for their dogs when they are busy and give them a happy loving place when they can’t be around. I now have 2 dogs of my own a chihuahua and a French bulldog they’re both fully trained, they’re spoilt everyday with love and lots of play time.

“Alison and her family were absolutely amazing with my doggo Daisy! She is nervous around new people and they made the extra effort to meet her and understand her before her stay! Throughout the whole trip I received so many photos of her amazing walks and care! I really could not recommend Alison more and will definitely be booking Daisy in for a staycation again :)”
“Such a kind and thoughtful woman. Our dog is allergic to Christmas trees, and Andrea was so accommodating, that she moved her tree away from any areas our dog had access too. We got the feeling that nothing was too much trouble for her, and we're very grateful that she could take in our dog at such short notice. We would definitely recommend Andrea and her beautiful dog.”
“Jasmine was an absolute legend with looking after my boy Baloo. She went above and beyond to reassure me even before dropping him off to stay with her, she met us first down mousehold heath and then let me view her lovely home. She totally eased my separation anxiety by providing daily updates and photos of my rascal of a dog which then I could fully enjoy my holiday and feel relaxed throughout. She even washed all of the tuppperware containers which contained dog food it was so kind of her. She had him from 20/04/24 to 01/05/24 with no problems at all. My boy looked happy and content in all of the photos she provided and when I went to pick him up he looked as healthy and happy just the same as the day I dropped him off round hers. I will definitely be using her service again 100% satisfaction. I highly recommend her worth every penny 😁👍”
“Diane looked after our dog Rufus for the weekend in her home. We received regular updates and photos which we were very grateful for. It was a hot weekend and Diane was so considerate of this, ensuring that Rufus was only walked in the cooler mornings/evenings. Rufus returned so calm and happy we would definitely use Diane again and recommend her to others. Thanks Diane!”
“Lisa was very friendly and keen to ensure our boys were well looked after. She understood how important exercise was and enjoyed taking them. She sent us photos and reassured us that the boys were happy and well cared for.”
About: I have had dogs all my life and enjoyed different breeds and characters. We have a large family home with a large safe and enclosed garden. Our entire family Michael my husband and the kids are dog lovers, and will make sure to create a warm and welcoming environment for any dogs who stay. We also have fields and parks within walking distance to exercise your dog. I am currently a stay at home mum so typically free between 9 and 3 to walk and play and care for your dogs. We are available 7 days a week for overnight stays. I have a safe home with a large ground floor and large enclosed garden. We have one friendly and very chilled golden retriever. Dogs will be allowed throughout the downstairs and will be regularly let out into the garden.
About: I’ve had a dog ever since I was little and absolutely love them! 8 years ago I became a qualified Dog groomer which I still love doing, before this I done 2 years at college in animal care. Being a dog groomer has gave me the experience with handling or sorts of different dogs. I’m currently at work on Mondays. I’m at home for the majority of the week with my daughter so that gives us plenty of time to spend with your doggies Our garden is completely fenced off with two gates. If you’d like your dog to be crated we are happy to do so but would need to be supplied.
“Rarely do I find two people who genuinely care for the dogs they look after like Jaques and Anne. My dog was really at home with them and we will definitely be back. They really made an effort to understood her personality which made it easy for her to settle in. Regular updates were also much appreciated.”

“Leanne was excellent. She kept me informed each day and sent me photos. It was so nice to have the reassurance that my elderly cats were doing so well while I was away. I would wholeheartedly recommend Leanne and will be asking her to look after them again on my next trip.”
About: I have lots of experience with animals - dogs in particular because I have had dogs my whole life. I also took my dog to behaviour/obedience dog training and agility training. I feel I have a strong connection with animals and can handle all types of characters and personalities. I have experience handling nervous dogs and reactive dogs and elderly dogs. I have never owned cats but my family members have lots of cats so I have experience with being around them and looking after them. I am currently a fully time university student looking to build up a bit of money alongside my studies by doing something I absolutely love which is looking after animals. Since being away from home I have found a huge gap in my life because I don’t have my dogs with me - this will allow me to be able to look after animals while I am away from home which is something I love doing. My days weekly vary and times I’m available based on my lectures but if you ping me a message I am sure we can sort something out - I am a very reliable person. I will always make sure the animal has its needs met and will follow the instructions left by the owner to ensure optimal care for the pet and peace of mind for the owner. I know how important your pets are as I have 2 dogs of my own at home and used to have a rabbit and hamsters. I absolutely love and adore all animals.
About: I have taken care of pets for 8 years now, previously having two cats and currently having an adorable fluffy dog which I time share with my parents due to rental restrictions. I used to work on a farm working with horses, cows and goats which was quite a challenge! I now volunteer for an elderly couple in my village to walk their senior dog to make sure she stays active in her older years. I am used to feeding, bathing and performing grooming tasks for both dogs and cats (alongside some big farm animals too!). I am currently working full time in local government, meaning I don't get much time to spend with cute friendly faces in my social life. Therefore providing these services outside of my normal work hours is a true passion of mine. I am happy to have a weekly routine with your pet if this is something you would prefer, and I can work this around my job based on your request. The same goes for any kind of house sitting arrangement, so please do ask! I am extremely respectful with the different training styles and any feeding, grooming or house arrangements that each individual pet and owner have. I am used to handling lots of animals of different behaviors, sizes and medical needs; so i can adapt to what is necessary for each animal in my care.
About: Growing up in a family house we always had some sort of animal like a cat and mostly big dogs. Such as 3 newfoundlands and also recently lost our giant St Bernard. I have moved back to Lowestoft after living in south London for a couple years and do miss the loving interaction so I am open to giving attention to dogs and cats that need it. Very gentle to those dogs that are more elderly, but can also bring the energy for those puppies that need to be worn out. I do work as cabin crew working 5 on and 4 off so would be doing this on my days off. I can mark this in my calendar. Can do early or late as I do drive too. I can’t have pets in my flat unfortunately so I would be coming to your home or taking them on a walk due to my landlords rules.
About: I’ve been caring for cats for over 20 years, from family pets to friends’ cats, as well as working in a rescue centre and a cat boarding facility. My experience ranges from confident, social cats to more nervous or independent personalities. I’ve even worked with big cats (lions, tigers oh my!), giving me a strong understanding of feline behaviour and body language. I’m confident with feeding routines, medication, litter care, and creating a calm, stress-free environment while owners are away. I treat every cat in my care with patience, respect, and individual attention.
“Lucy has done such a lovely job looking after our senior cat again - he loves her and we’ve come home to a very happy and relaxed cat! The updates were brilliant and we’d recommend her 100%. Thank you Lucy!”
About: I have rescued and cared for two cats, giving me hands-on experience with different personalities, routines, and care requirements. I have also worked at Redwings Horse Sanctuary, supporting the care of horses and running wellbeing activities that connected people with horses. Alongside my animal experience, I run my own small business offering therapeutic forest school work with children and nature connection experiences. This has developed my skills in patience, responsibility, observation, and creating safe, supportive environments for both people and animals. I hold an Enhanced DBS check and I am experienced in working responsibly with both children and animals. I am comfortable providing care such as: • Feeding and maintaining routines • Administering medication where required • Caring for animals with different needs and temperaments • Providing companionship, attention, and reassurance • Looking after animals in a calm, respectful way • Drop in pet sitting, or longer stay-in house and pet sitting if required I understand that pets are part of the family and aim to provide reliable, compassionate care that gives owners peace of mind while they are away.
“Paula was so very kind and caring towards our cat and helped very much even when he was unwell. She kept in touch and sent pictures and videos of him. We were so grateful to have her here with him for peace of mind. She even cleaned the house before leaving which was so thoughtful. We will definitely use her again in the future.”
“Magdalena was so kind and caring to our cat Tilly. Magdalena prepared very well for Tilly’s arrival buying in treats and a special bed for her. Tilly was taken out for walks and had lots of cuddles which meant she settled in quickly. We were delighted to receive regular updates about Tilly’s progress during our holiday. We would highly recommend Magdalena.”
“Hannah and Rob looked after my cats for 4 days. Looking after a blind very needy cat as well as my crazy Savannah cat is quite a task. Millie was very well cared for and Tau was kept busy with playing and walks. The house was immaculate when we returned.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and other pets from a very young age, giving me years of hands-on experience with animals of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. From daily walks and playtime to feeding, basic training, and lots of love and attention, I understand how important routine, safety, and trust are for pets and their owners. I’m confident handling energetic puppies, gentle seniors, and everything in between, always making sure each dog feels happy, comfortable, and well cared for while in my care. I carefully balance pet care alongside my work and college schedule by offering set, reliable time slots that fit naturally into my daily routine, such as mornings, afternoons, and evenings. This allows me to provide consistent walks and check-ins without overbooking or rushing visits. I always communicate my availability clearly, so owners know exactly when to expect me, and I make sure every pet gets my full attention, care, and time. Being organised helps me give dependable, loving care while maintaining a busy but well-managed schedule. When caring for pets in their own homes and on walks, I always follow each owner’s specific instructions to keep routines familiar and stress-free for their pets. I make sure pets are fed on time, given fresh water, plenty of attention, and any basic care they need, such as cleaning bowls or refreshing litter areas. On walks, I focus on safety, positive handling, and fun exercise while keeping dogs secure on leads and away from hazards. I treat every home with respect and every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel happy, comfortable, and well cared for at all times.
About: I have had pet dogs and cats since the age of 10 and have also spent lots of time caring for friends and family pets. For 15 years I ran a smallholding with goats, pigs, sheep and various types of poultry and also farm sat on a regular basis at a 100 head goat farm. Experienced in milking and kidding. I love all types of animals, love spending time with them and treat them all as if they were my own. I'm happy to house sit and care for your animals throughout the UK and Europe. I am currently working part time but this is very flexible and from January 2026 I'll be available for full time pet sitting. I can't wait. I will look after your pets and your house as if they were my own. I am very reliable and trustworthy and have a DBS check.
About: Level 3 canine carer. I am DBS checked. Have lived with staffies for 20 years. Worked in multiple dog care jobs and rescue centres. Absolutely nothing I love more. I currently work zero hour so I am very flexible with what hours I do. We can figure out whatever time is suitable for the three of us☺️ To start I will do a drop in session with you and your pet to have a chat and find out a bit more about their characteristics from you and places they love to walk! I completely understand how nerve wracking it can be leaving your pet in someone else’s care, as a dog owner myself I only want the best for my dog which is why I think it is best to meet and greet first before doing any solo walking or sitting!
About: I‘ve always been a dog lover and have always been responsible for looking after friends and family’s pets since I was about 14. I am patient and love any four legged friend and their individual personalities!!!! I work from home and can walk the doggos morning, lunchtime and evenings. I can also take them out for potty breaks too as often as needed☺️ I have a big open space in the flat and lots of green spaces nearby, can easily provide a crate and bed if needed :)
About: Me and my partner work from home full time and would love the company of a four-legged friend. I only ever take in one dog at a time, this means your dog gets 100% of my attention, the best spot on the sofa, and a routine that doesn't change just because they aren't at home. I keep my client list small and exclusive to ensure I can be available when you need it most. My home is a calm and quiet space, I have no dogs or kids of my own and live it a very quite estate on the edge of norwich. Whether we’re heading out for a long afternoon walk or just hanging out while I’m at my desk, your dog will be treated exactly like my own. They’ll have the run of the house and plenty of belly rubs. I have a completely fenced garden which they have access to as much as needed. I have a very cosy office with a sofa they have exclusive use of.

“Absolutely perfect. It was my first time using Rover. I was so undecided whether to bring Odin for our weekend away as he gets a bit fed up being dragged around on lead but didn’t want to leave him in kennels. I felt doggy daycare for a couple of afternoons would be the best of both worlds. Maxine & hubby was so lovely, booked us in at short notice, responded to messages super quick and we felt 100% comfortable leaving him. Without a doubt if we come down this way again we would love Maxine to look after him. Thank you for being so wonderful!”
About: We had our own beautiful border collie for 8 years, who has sadly passed. We have also looked after dogs for friends and love getting out walking with them. We have the beach, woods, parks and fields on our doorstep. We would love to give your dog a comfortable stress free home whilst you are away. We would prefer to meet them first to decide if we, you and your dog would be happy for us to care for them. My husband and I are both retired. We have no other commitments so your dog would be our priority. There would always be someone here, so the dog would never be alone. We have a small fenced back garden and spacious living room area. We also have a crate if thats what your dog is used you.
“Laura was very friendly and looked after my dogs for a day. She sent me updates on how they were settling in. The dogs were happy and tired afterwards! I would definitely recommend Laura and wouldn’t hesitate to use her again. Thank you Laura x”
About: I provide attentive, personalized care that helps pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I take the time to learn each dog or cat’s routine, personality, and needs so they receive care that feels familiar and stress-free. Whether it’s keeping up with puppy training, administering medications, caring for senior pets, or giving extra patience to shy animals, I treat every pet like family. I also keep owners updated with regular photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your pets are in caring, dependable hands. I am currently working flexible hours during the week so I am able to suit around your animals needs and availability is totally free on weekends. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, comfortable, and welcoming environment. I make sure each pet has a designated space for rest, access to fresh water, and meals provided on their regular schedule. I maintain a clean and pet-friendly space, free of hazards, where they can feel secure and relaxed. I provide plenty of playtime, walks and enrichment activities to keep them happy and stimulated. If a pet has special dietary needs or requires medication, I follow the owner’s instructions carefully. I also ensure that pets receive lots of affection and attention, so they feel right at home while in my care. When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on maintaining their familiar routine and environment to minimize stress. I make sure they are fed on schedule, have access to clean water, and are given proper exercise through walks and playtime. I also follow any specific instructions provided by the owner, including administering medications, maintaining grooming routines, or using specific training cues. In addition to caring for the pet, I respect the owner’s home by keeping it clean and secure. I make sure the pet’s living areas are tidy, and I provide updates to the owner so they feel reassured that their pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

About: I understand how important it is to find someone reliable, trustworthy, and loving to look after your beloved companions. Whether it's feeding, walking, grooming, or simply providing cuddles and companionship, I'm here to ensure your pets feel happy, safe, and loved in your absence. I have personally owned cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, and fish, and I also have strong experience caring for dogs.

In addition, outside of Rover I have dog sat for friends and family, both in my own home and in theirs. Whether I am providing care while an owner is on holiday, at work, or simply in need of extra support, I am always committed to delivering attentive, reliable, and compassionate care. I also help with regular dog walks, taking my in-laws’ Labrador and French Bulldog out each week. My services are tailored to suit your pet's unique personality and requirements. I take pride in maintaining open communication with pet owners, providing regular updates and photos to offer peace of mind while you're away. Rest assured, your precious pets will be in capable and caring hands with me! I work from home, which makes it easy to help care for your furry friend. I can help out with dog walks in the mornings, in my lunch breaks (which are flexible) and in the evenings / across the weekend. I don’t have pets or children so your pet(s) can feel safe and happy in my home. We have a courtyard type garden, which your dog is able to make use of, but being within close walking distance to the beach / parks allows a lovely alternative for your pet.
About: I have looked after pets ever since I was a little boy, whether that was my own or a family or friends. When I was younger I helped my parents puppy train the dogs we had and I have done the same with mine ever since. My passion lies with animals and giving them all the care, love & attention they deserve. Working from home means I can do this :) I currently work full time from home so I can give your pet all the care and attention in the world along with plenty of playtime and love! I have a 4 bedroom house with a fenced garden where your pooch can feel at home. There are plenty of shaded areas also. When the weather is nice I can take playtime outside for them or at your wishes! I lost my 2 of my fur babies earlier this year and August of last year and have been devastated ever since. I now currently have just a small miniature poodle who is coming up to a year old. He is lovely & he loves all dogs and would love a friend to play with. If you would like your dog kept separate then that is of course fine as well. We have plenty of toys and treats here but feel free to bring your own if that makes them feel more comfortable :)
“Willow had such a great time with her visits. She was loved and cared for so well. She was super excited to go back and didn't want to leave! Thank you again so much for having her :)”
About: We’re lifelong dog lovers and take a considered, personal approach so each dog receives plenty of individual attention. My husband and I both work from home full time, meaning dogs in our care are rarely left alone and enjoy consistent company throughout the day. During the week, our home is particularly calm as our two children (aged 6 and 8) are at school. We share our home with our own 3-year-old dog, who is relaxed, friendly, and well socialised with other dogs. Our children have grown up around dogs and are gentle and respectful, understanding when a dog needs space. We are best suited to dogs who are comfortable in a family environment and around children. Our home is spacious, with several quiet areas where dogs can rest if they prefer their own space, as well as the option to stay close to us in our home office. We also have a secure, fully fenced garden for safe outdoor time. Sleeping arrangements are flexible and tailored to your dog’s usual routine. We follow a calm, consistent daily routine, including at least one walk a day, and we’re happy to maintain your dog’s normal feeding, medication, and care. Ahead of booking, we ask owners to share any special requirements so we can provide thoughtful, personalised care. We’re always happy to arrange a meet and greet to make sure it’s the right fit for everyone. We both work from home full time with our own rescue dog who we take for daily walks, so always looking for more furry company! As already mentioned, you can rest assured your dog is in safe hands - our garden is fully fenced. We can also go for on-lead walks for your peace of mind.
About: Hello, I am Alison and live with my husband and two daughters, aged 10 and 14, on an 8 acre small holding near Pulham Market. I have had dogs for the past 15 years. I have free range chickens and three barn cats who do not come into the house. Please note that although these are outside animals, they are still our pets and loved dearly. I do not currently have any dogs as our lovely whippet Megan passed away in January from old age. I have had all our dogs since puppies so I am experienced with all age dogs from puppy to old age. My mum has a retired greyhound which I look after, and my brother has a golden retriever and a rescued Portuguese street dog which again I look after when needed. I work part time from home so there is always someone in the house. I particularly love long dog walks and enjoy having a companion with me. My mum's retired greyhound is very nervous and reactive so have experience with anxious dogs and rescues. I will only have one dog stay at a time (unless they are from the same household, of course) so I can tailor the activities (ie long walks, short walks etc) to suit your dog's needs and requirements. On a side note, and I appreciate this isn't everybody's cup of tea, but I am also Reiki Master and have had wonderful results giving Reiki to animals. I have treated a 13 year old labrador which back leg issues with incredible results. Apart from physical ailments, Reiki can also provide effective relief from anxiety and really helps to calm dogs down. I would be delighted, with your permission, to provide Reiki to your dog, if needed, whilst in our care. I will provide regular photos and video updates whilst your dog is with us. Just to be clear, I will be the primary person taking care of your dog but my husband and daughters will also be in the house with your dog. Please note, I am 5'4" and weight 52kg so I am pretty small. Please bear that in mind especially if you have a large dog or your dog pulls on the lead as I'm unlikely to be the right person for your dog. I work part time from home so I are available for sitting and day care every day of the week including weekends. I welcome both long and short stays. I would go for walk first thing each day and in the evenings plus a mid day walk if needed and they can have as many personal needs breaks outside as wanted. This will obviously be tailored to each individual dog and their specific requirements I have a large dog crate which can be used if needed but your fur baby will have access to the whole house, apart from my Pilates studio. I have dog beds dotted around the house plus plenty of blankets and towels to make your dog comfortable. I live on an 8 acre small holding but due to the other animals (including deer, hares, pheasants, rabbits, chickens, barn cats etc) I would keep your dog on a lead for their safety. Walks would be through fields, lanes and the local woods. I’d need to know their dog’s routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any medical or behavioural requirements. It’s also helpful to know how they are with other dogs and people, whether they’re house-trained, and if there are any fears, triggers, or special comforts they have. This helps me make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for.
“Darcie had the most lovely day and has come back from Charlotte’s ready for a good nap! Also a lovely touch was her “report card” for the day.. written by Darcie telling us about her adventures!”
“Ruth done a great job looking after Marley for the day, Normally Marley is very excited to see me when I come home but at Ruths when I went to pick her up she barely took any notice of me as she was so happy where she was. Ruth is very kind and gentle and obviously loves and knows how to look after dogs and I would highly recommend her. I have booked an overnighter already.”
“Plato enjoyed a lovely day with Sarah! He was very excited to see her when we arrived which was a great sign that he felt comfortable on his last visit. Great photos of him enjoying the garden and relaxing in her kitchen. Very happy to have found Sarah to look after him.”
“Cara took really good care of our puppy Nala for the day. She listened and took into account Nala’s care needs and was really happy when I picked her up, would definitely recommend and consider rebooking in the future.”

About: I have lots of experience with animals - dogs in particular because I have had dogs my whole life. I also took my dog to behaviour/obedience dog training and agility training. I feel I have a strong connection with animals and can handle all types of characters and personalities. I have experience handling nervous dogs and reactive dogs and elderly dogs. I have never owned cats but my family members have lots of cats so I have experience with being around them and looking after them. I am currently a fully time university student looking to build up a bit of money alongside my studies by doing something I absolutely love which is looking after animals. Since being away from home I have found a huge gap in my life because I don’t have my dogs with me - this will allow me to be able to look after animals while I am away from home which is something I love doing. My days weekly vary and times I’m available based on my lectures but if you ping me a message I am sure we can sort something out - I am a very reliable person. I will always make sure the animal has its needs met and will follow the instructions left by the owner to ensure optimal care for the pet and peace of mind for the owner. I know how important your pets are as I have 2 dogs of my own at home and used to have a rabbit and hamsters. I absolutely love and adore all animals.
“Laura was an absolute life saver for me, she came very last minute to walk my spaniel and she was very communicative and friendly. Bramble had a wonderful walk with her and she sent me lots of photos. Thank you so much!”
About: I have been volunteering at the NASAT dog shelter for 6 months and i have also been studying for a little over a year to become a dog trainer I’m currently between jobs whilst I’m looking to move houses so I have plenty of time to take care of dogs during the day I have a 2 year old highly trained alaskan malamute who takes part in sledding, finding training and obedience training which helps him to have a great quality of life and I plan to use my knowledge to help others during the time I spend with them
About: Friendly and experienced pet sitter with a big heart for dogs and cats of all kinds — including those with extra needs. I’ve cared for pups who are deaf, require medication, or just need a little extra patience and love. Confident with cats too, from independent explorers to cuddly lap cats. I’ve also looked after fish, lizards, and other small pets, and as a dedicated plant lover, I’ll make sure your greenery thrives while you're away. Reliable, calm, and always happy to keep you updated with plenty of cute photos! Hi, I’m Lauren!

I don’t smoke or vape, and I’ll always treat your home with care. If you're looking for a friendly, reliable sitter, I’d love to chat!

About: I provide attentive, personalized care that helps pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I take the time to learn each dog or cat’s routine, personality, and needs so they receive care that feels familiar and stress-free.

If a pet has special dietary needs or requires medication, I follow the owner’s instructions carefully. I also ensure that pets receive lots of affection and attention, so they feel right at home while in my care. When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on maintaining their familiar routine and environment to minimize stress. I make sure they are fed on schedule, have access to clean water, and are given proper exercise through walks and playtime. I also follow any specific instructions provided by the owner, including administering medications, maintaining grooming routines, or using specific training cues. In addition to caring for the pet, I respect the owner’s home by keeping it clean and secure.

About: Growing up in a family house we always had some sort of animal like a cat and mostly big dogs. Such as 3 newfoundlands and also recently lost our giant St Bernard. I have moved back to Lowestoft after living in south London for a couple years and do miss the loving interaction so I am open to giving attention to dogs and cats that need it. Very gentle to those dogs that are more elderly, but can also bring the energy for those puppies that need to be worn out. I do work as cabin crew working 5 on and 4 off so would be doing this on my days off. I can mark this in my calendar. Can do early or late as I do drive too. I can’t have pets in my flat unfortunately so I would be coming to your home or taking them on a walk due to my landlords rules.

About: Since I was 7 years old my mum was a dog breeder and so I have always been surrounded by dogs. This included years of dog walking, grooming, taking care of puppies as well as our senior dogs. When I was 17 I got a job at a dog kennel where I gave dogs their medications, walked them daily, cleaned and gave them all the fuss and love I could! I now have two dogs, a poodle and a cocker spaniel who I love with all of my heart! I am currently working self employed as a massage therapist, lash tech and cleaner. Whilst I gain clients in those areas I thought why not use my passion and love for animals to become a dog walker/sitter! My daily routine includes lots of walks and anything outside! This job would fit well around my routine due to being self employed so I control my working hours, I am also available quite often for this role. I will treat your dogs as I treat my own. They will get all of my attention, I will ensure they are safe, happy and hydrated! They will be supplied with endless cuddles and walks (as long as it’s not too hot!)
“I am very overprotective with my 2 pups and was very anxious to let someone else see to them. Trafford however was amazing! He took my girls out on 3 walks today, he let me know when he finished each walk and double checked with me about things that he didn’t want to assume was okay! Very polite and updated me on my girls throughout the day. Highly recommend and will be using again!”
About: Level 3 canine carer. I am DBS checked. Have lived with staffies for 20 years. Worked in multiple dog care jobs and rescue centres. Absolutely nothing I love more. I currently work zero hour so I am very flexible with what hours I do. We can figure out whatever time is suitable for the three of us☺️ To start I will do a drop in session with you and your pet to have a chat and find out a bit more about their characteristics from you and places they love to walk! I completely understand how nerve wracking it can be leaving your pet in someone else’s care, as a dog owner myself I only want the best for my dog which is why I think it is best to meet and greet first before doing any solo walking or sitting!

I will look after your pets and your house as if they were my own. I am very reliable and trustworthy and have a DBS check.
“Hannah and Rob were fantastic at looking after Bear. This is the first time we have used a dog walker. They arrived on time and often walked him for more than the allotted 1 hour. Hannah sent lots of photos and messages. It was great to see Bear so relaxed and happy. I highly recommend Hannah and Rob and will not hesitate to use them in the future.”

“Nina and her family welcomed Teilo into the home with warmth and reassurance. Nina is experienced with, and knowledgeable about dogs and has a calm, confident and affectionate manner with them. Teilo settled in very quickly and got lots of walks, play and attention. It was great for him to be with Nina's two dogs who were friendly and accepting of Teilo in their home, as he doesn't often get time with other dogs. I got regular communication and lots of photos. I will be using Nina again and recommend her to anyone looking for a five star sitter.”
“Christina is absolutely amazing, Evie had the best time and we didn't think she'd want to come home because every video, picture etc showed her having a brilliant time. She was treated like one of the family and you can see how much both of them adore the animals they look after”
“Paul and Sarah were perfect, their home and grounds are ideal and they gave Monty and Rufus a thoroughly enjoyable and relaxing home from home experience. We’re delighted to have found them and have already rebooked.”
“Highly recommend Heidi, my dog Ernie is usually very nervous but took to her straight away and I felt happy to leave him, lots of photos and updates made me even more reassured, will be taking him back next week when we go on holiday, Ernie settled in very quickly which surprised me but it’s credit to Heidi for sure”

“Jake has only been left with family before so it was a different environment for him. Billie was very patient with Jake as he is an older dog and can be stubborn. I was kept up to date with photo's which was lovely. I would be happy to recommend Billie and for Jake to stay again.”
“Alison and her family were absolutely amazing with my doggo Daisy! She is nervous around new people and they made the extra effort to meet her and understand her before her stay! Throughout the whole trip I received so many photos of her amazing walks and care! I really could not recommend Alison more and will definitely be booking Daisy in for a staycation again :)”
“Such a kind and thoughtful woman. Our dog is allergic to Christmas trees, and Andrea was so accommodating, that she moved her tree away from any areas our dog had access too. We got the feeling that nothing was too much trouble for her, and we're very grateful that she could take in our dog at such short notice. We would definitely recommend Andrea and her beautiful dog.”
“Lisa was very friendly and keen to ensure our boys were well looked after. She understood how important exercise was and enjoyed taking them. She sent us photos and reassured us that the boys were happy and well cared for.”

“Buster stayed with Matt and his family while I was away overnight for work. We met Matt before the stay, which was great for both parties, and Matts communication was good throughout. It was the first time Buster had stayed with a sitter away from home, but I came back to a very happy dog. I have already booked again with Matt, and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him.”
“Our dog to Steph right from the very first meet. Steph took great care of him while we were away. She provided video updates and we could see he was very happy indeed. Highly recommend Steph and will be using again in the future.”

We had never needed a dog sitter before so we were a little nervous but I genuinely think Teddy and Holly immediately felt right at home with Gareth and Marius (we have photos to prove it!) We could enjoy our weekend with total confidence knowing they were in safe hands. Thanks also to Oscar- a pooch with endless patience. Five stars from two and four legged Grogans!”
“. Being so far away and for 3 weeks, we knew we didn’t have to worry about him as Sylvia is a kind and caring dog person. She sent us photos of him on his walks and updates of his activity with her. Sylvia followed the instructions about his diet I think from her comments that they really bonded over the spell that he was there. I would definitely leave him with her again and I plan to do so.”
“Rocky spent the night for the first time Lillia gave me a regular update in the evening also in the morning, he seemed very relaxed when picking up, would use again and would recommend as Lillia very friendly.”
