“Maxine went above & beyond to care for Tilly during the very hot weather we are currently experiencing. Regular photo’s and messages letting us know how she was doing, Tilly always looked relaxed & cool. We would highly recommend Maxine to care for your pooches. Thank you Maxine.”
“We are very happy with the care our dog received while staying with Lianne and her husband. They were both very thoughtful and helpful to make Bobs stay just like home. I received regular updates throughout the stay. We would definitely recommend Lianne to others. Thank you so much.”
“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.”
“Just picked the dogs up. They both seem very relaxed and happy. Shirley-Ann has sent me pictures etc every day and looked after one the dogs ears for us. I’m sure they will be happy to be back there later this year.”
“If only Sarah & Paul lived closer to home I’d leave Maisie with them regularly, and aim to befriend them too! What a delightful couple who live in a home & garden designed to be a 5 star accommodation for dogs! Maisie obviously had such a lovely time, I feel the need to book another holiday in Suffolk just so she can stay again. Thanks so much.”
“This is the second time Christina has looked after my cats. I would recommend her as she looks after them really well. She gives them their medication that’s required. The cats get lots of fuss and attention. Daily photos and videos are sent which I love as I miss them lots. I can go away and know my cats are being well looked after. I will always put my cats with Christina when needed 👍🏼”
“Very warm, friendly family who all love dogs. It felt Good to leave Trixie with them. Rebecca was easy to communicate with. She responded fast to our questions. They did everything to make it easy for our dog to feel comfortable. Everything went really well”

“Perry had a lovely time and Jasmine sent me some lovely photos and updates during Perry’s stay. I had peace of mind as Jasmine went above and beyond in taking care of Perry. I recommend Jasmine and would like to say a huge thank you.”
About: I’ve got experience with taking care of lots of different types of dogs as I have helped out with friends and family. I have always loved dogs from a young age and always treat any dog that i look after like my own - making sure they are fed and watered, walked daily and making time to play. I currently work part time (Monday - Wednesday) and I generally only have to go into the office on a Tuesday, therefore I can be at home every day apart from Tuesdays. I have a fenced garden and live in a safe and quiet little village just outside of Norwich. I don’t have any pets so your Dog will get my full attention :)

Your pet’s safety and happiness will always be my top priority. I have a secure, fully enclosed garden where they can safely play, explore and enjoy fresh air, and because I work from home they’ll rarely be left alone.

Highly recommended always can relax knowing she’s being loved and cared for with updated pics and messages even a birthday message for my daughter from honey was so lovely and thoughtful. Thank you again will definitely be back for more dog sitting in the future.”
“We could not have been happier leaving Didi with Jacques and Ann. Their home (and garden) were absolutely perfect for her and they made her feel very welcome relaxed from the moment she arrived. We received lovely updates and pictures during her stay which put our minds at ease and it was great to hear that, as a reactive dog, she had been so calm both in the house and on walks. Thank you both so much - we are so grateful she was in such caring and good hands 🙏 We would definitely ask them to care for Didi again as and when we might be visiting Norfolk and would HIGHLY recommend 😁”
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.
“This was our first time leaving Jake in the very capable hands of William. William and his partner were very friendly and welcoming and Jake clearly enjoyed his time with them. We have no hesitation in recommending this host to other owners.”
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.

“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 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.
“Really happy with the professional and caring person Cheyenne is! My dog Dory was checked up on twice daily (my requirements) and I couldn’t be happier with the service that Cheyenne provided. I made videos with instruction when at my property and with caring for Dory and every need was met! I received updates whilst Cheyenne was checking in on Dory which really put me at ease whilst I was away. My booking was made within a really short time scale and Cheyenne accepted the booking - absolutely incredible service and I will definitely be rebooking in the future 😊”
“John was fantastic, he took lots of care to make sure he visited before we went away and asked lots of questions about the cat. he obviously loves cats. nothing seemed too much trouble would definitely recommend and use John again. would feel very comfortable leaving our cat in his hands ”
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.
“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.”
“Jordon looked after our cat for a few days whilst we were away. I would highly recommend her pet caring services. Usually our cat can be nervous around new people but Jordon was gentle with her and we could tell our cat had been happy. We will definitely look to book Jordon for pet caring again in the future.”
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.
About: I’ve recently moved out of my family home, where we had seven cats, so it’s safe to say everyone knows me as the crazy cat lady! I’ve grown up caring for all sorts of personalities and breeds, from playful Ragdolls and Maine Coons to rescue cats and tabbies, looking after them from tiny kittens right through to their senior years. I know every cat is different, whether they want endless fuss or prefer their own space, and I’m happy to go at their pace. Even on walks I can’t resist stopping to say hello to any friendly cat I meet! I’ll make sure your cat feels safe, loved and well cared for while you’re away, with plenty of updates to give you peace of mind.
“Lucy looked after our cat Lilith for a weekend. We were able to meet with Lucy before the sit, which was helpful and put our minds at ease. Lucy was communicative during the sit, followed the intructions accurately, sent us photo updates, and left the house in great condition for us to come back to. I was confident leaving Lilith with Lucy and would definitely recommend this sitter.”
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.
“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.”
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.
“Couldn’t fault Hannah and her fiance!! Was super nervous about leaving my cat at home, but I got constant updates and photos of my lil boy, all anxieties were calmed knowing he was safe 💗Communication was great and my (normally very shy cat) seems to have liked them too 💗”
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: 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.
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 :)

“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.
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.

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.
“Duggie loved his stay with Charlotte. After an initial visit, we were very confident that it would work out well. Charlotte is very warm, friendly and knowledgeable about dogs and Duggie was comfortable with her immediately. Everything in Charlotte’s home and garden is set up to be dog friendly and she was very flexible about delivery and pick up times. During his stay, Charlotte sent me regular updates and pictures- he was clearly having a fab time. Duggie came home a very chilled and happy boy and a lovely touch was that Charlotte sent him home with a little diary of his holiday with her. We will definitely send Duggie to Charlotte again in future and would recommend her very highly.”
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: Hi I’m Kelly, I have had animals since as long as I can remember, they have always been a huge part of the family. I am a stay at home Mum and so this enables me to give the animals constant love and attention. We live in an area full of beautiful places to walk the dog’s, we also have a big enclosed garden with tall fences. The animals have full roam of the house. We have one cat and one lovely dog called Mini - they live in harmony together. We do have a door that can separate the house into two areas if the animals that we look after don’t get along. Animals are my passion and I would love to be the house away from home for your fur baby whilst you are away. I would love to hear from you so please message me if you have any questions. References available on request so please do ask! I have experience looking after pugs (my mum has pugs too) french bull dogs, German shepherds, huskies, Labrador’s, labradoodles and jack Russell’s I am always happy to have a phone/ video call prior to booking so you are comfortable with me and the environment your pet will be staying in.
“Ruth was brilliant! We had an event in Norwich and couldn’t take the dog. Our 12 yr old Cockerpoo hadn’t been left with anyone outside of family for years but she was happy with Ruth for the day. Doing a meet and greet a few weeks ago helped a lot and Ruth’s calm way with dogs. Would highly recommend 😀”
“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.”

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 love animals, travel, and exploring new places—pet sitting lets me see the world while giving pets all the love and care they’re used to! I have plenty of experience looking after pets and their homes and always make sure they feel happy, comfortable, and stick to their normal routine. Whether that means walks, playtime, cuddles, or just good company, I’m here to keep them safe and loved while you're away. I’m also super active and love morning runs, hiking trails, and exploring new cities—so if your pet enjoys an adventure, I’d love to have them join me! Since I work from home, I’ll be around a lot for extra attention and care. Plus, as a big plant lover, I’ll happily take care of your houseplants too! I’m very clean, tidy, and a respectful guest. 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! I am not able to host your pet in my home, however am fully housetrained myself and am more than comfortable keeping your pet happy and safe in the comfort of their own home
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: With years of dedicated experience caring for all kinds of furry (and scaly!) friends, I offer more than just dropping in to check on your pets or walking. I provide genuine peace of mind. Your beloved companions will receive reliable, loving, and professional care, ensuring their routine is maintained and their tails keep wagging while you're away or at work. You will be updated with pictures while away/working showing you how happy your fur baby is and how much of a great time their having while you go about your daily routine! I work as bank staff so I choose my hours and when to work. your pet will be hardly left on their own apart from when I have to nip off to nursery which will only be for 10 minutes max! I try and not leave pets at home on their own. When your cherished pet stays with me, they become a valued member of my household, not just a guest. My home provides a safe, comfortable, and stimulating environment where their well-being is my top priority. I'll maintain their regular feeding schedule, ensure they have constant access to fresh water, and provide plenty of outdoor time for exercise and potty breaks. Whether it's a game of fetch in the garden, a cozy cuddle on the sofa, or simply quiet companionship, I'm dedicated to providing the one-on-one attention and affection they're accustomed to. You can relax knowing your furry friend is receiving personalized care, consistent routines, and endless love in a home-away-from-home setting.

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.

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!

“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.”

“Maxine went above & beyond to care for Tilly during the very hot weather we are currently experiencing. Regular photo’s and messages letting us know how she was doing, Tilly always looked relaxed & cool. We would highly recommend Maxine to care for your pooches. Thank you Maxine.”
“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.”
“If only Sarah & Paul lived closer to home I’d leave Maisie with them regularly, and aim to befriend them too! What a delightful couple who live in a home & garden designed to be a 5 star accommodation for dogs! Maisie obviously had such a lovely time, I feel the need to book another holiday in Suffolk just so she can stay again. Thanks so much.”
“This is the second time Christina has looked after my cats. I would recommend her as she looks after them really well. She gives them their medication that’s required. The cats get lots of fuss and attention. Daily photos and videos are sent which I love as I miss them lots. I can go away and know my cats are being well looked after. I will always put my cats with Christina when needed 👍🏼”
“Very warm, friendly family who all love dogs. It felt Good to leave Trixie with them. Rebecca was easy to communicate with. She responded fast to our questions. They did everything to make it easy for our dog to feel comfortable. Everything went really well”

I currently work part time (Monday - Wednesday) and I generally only have to go into the office on a Tuesday, therefore I can be at home every day apart from Tuesdays. I have a fenced garden and live in a safe and quiet little village just outside of Norwich. I don’t have any pets so your Dog will get my full attention :)

About: 50 years of caring for and loving animals. We will take great care of elderly dogs who might be lacking in confidence and need extra emotional and physical support. We are home all day every day and garden outside with the dogs’ help! They are also walked every day before retiring in front of the woodburner! Our 1 acre garden is securely fenced in a quiet location and we have 3 very friendly bitches of our own who love to socialise!
“Louise took Winnie for me very last minute due to personal bereavement and she was so lovely and very responsive. They live in a beautiful farmhouse with so much land with a fully protective garden. I got sent plenty of photos and Winnie was very loved and looked after by the family. I highly recommend Louise to look after your furry loved ones and thank you again!”

“Heidi recently looked after our lively little Cavapoochon overnight. Bingo clearly had a great time and seemed very at home when I collected him. Bingo will definitely be staying with Heidi again and I would wholeheartedly recommend Heidi to anyone looking for a welcoming, caring home from home for their dog.”
About: I’ve had dogs all my life from Dachshunds and terriers through to rescues and Labradors. I’ve recently retired and lost my companion Charlie so I’m hoping to invest my love in your precious one now. I’m recently retired so expect to spend all day with your pet, making them part of my life while they are with me. I live in a city centre maisonette and have a small secure outside space for fresh air, but there are also parks near me and all the smells and excitement of the city. I follow whatever exercise routine and rules you have at home. Pets can come on the sofa for cuddles if you allow that, and can either sleep downstairs or upstairs on the bed with me.
“On the basis that our two labs didn’t move for the rest of the day after we picked them up, they had obviously had a wonderful time! They are rescues and it was the first time they had stayed in an unfamiliar house without us but we came back to two very happy boys. They were clearly very well looked after and enjoyed their stay. We were kept up to date and have no hesitation in recommending Gareth and will be very happy to rebook.”
“Highly recommend! Dropped my 5 month golden retriever off for the first time who can be very bitey and lively and was instantly reassured that this wouldn’t be an issue at all - was sent pictures/video throughout the time he spent there and updates on when he was walked/fed etc. There is access to a garden in back which is always handy and made friends Kirsty's dog. Also let me extend for one more night due to arriving back later than planned. Will be going back!”
