“Amazing! Jennifer was great at communicating from start to finish, which made everything really easy and reassuring. I felt completely comfortable leaving Beau overnight, and he was safe, well looked after and happy to gets lots of cuddles. I'd definitely book again and highly recommend Jennifer!”
“Samuel is a brilliant dog sitter. Sent lots of updates and pics. I can't recommend him highly enough. Mookie loved his stay and is looking forward to visiting again. Excellent”
“Booked Siyi for another stay and now knowing Muffin (and her quirks), she was able to prepare for her visit by cooking up some tasty treats to make sure she had enough to eat. Muffin was taken on a wonderful adventure during her stay and once again, Siyi looked after her so so well. Thank you so much 🥰”
“Our dog Pablo had a great time with Nicole. From the moment we met, it was clear how caring and reliable she is with animals. I was kept up to date with regular updates and photos, and they had a lovely time walking and playing in the park and at home. Pablo came home happy, relaxed, and clearly very well looked after. Will definitely be booking another stay soon!”
“From start to finish a phenomenal experience! Initially this placement was chosen given it’s proximity to my brothers house however this turned out to be an excellent move! Judit and family were beyond helpful, kind, considerate and kept us fully up to date with lots of lovely and reassuring pics/videos. We were welcomed into their home pre weekend stay so that Hemingway could get used to the space, they took this time to get to know him and chatted away in a friendly and warm manner. Hems was definitely treated as part of the family! I cannot recommend this wonderful family highly enough to other prospective doggy parents.”
“My dog had a wonderful time! Elizabeth was great, took the dog on lots of walks and took care of her overnight, sent me pictures and updates, and Astrid was so pleased to be there. Will definitely book again!”
“Michelle was absolutely fantastic with my dog Gus! She was super accommodating as it was our first time boarding him via Rover, she even met us for a quick pre-meet to ensure the fit was right. Gus immediately felt comfortable and at ease with Michelle, she kept us super up to date with all their adventures, and Gus had a wonderful time. Michelle was really accommodating with any specific instructions, and was really thorough and caring. I would definitely use Michelle again for any boarding/ dog care needs! Thank you for taking such good care of Gus :)”
“Anna was absolutely lovely and I felt very comfortable leaving Harris with her. She is cheerful and professional, and took great care of him. She provided timely updates and kept in touch and was responsive. Harris of course seemed to love her Too! I would definitely recommend her if you need pet care!!”
“Evie and Ben were wonderful looking after our golden Hamish who is just 1 year old and very energetic- so not and easy task! Excellent communication, super reliable sitters! Would happily book again! Thank you”
“Thank you Jessica for looking after Isotta! She’s obviously having is absolutely shattered and I think has very much enjoyed all the walks and attention ☺️ doesn’t even seem all that thrilled to be home 😔”
“Looked after our dog for a few nights and he seemed to have a great time, was very happy to arrive at Jessica’s door after being there before. Lots of photos and communication too, which was great for us to know he was happy while we were away”
“Feng was great with Norman, he was very kind and gentle with him! And his own dog and three cats were lovely. It was clear that Feng and his wife are pet lovers, and I was kept up to date the entire duration of Norman’s stay! Thank you again Feng!!”
“Amy took great care of Honey while we were away. We had never left Honey before but Amy was kind, friendly, and patient, which immediately put me at ease. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about the dogs in her care. I really appreciated the regular updates and could see that Honey was happy, relaxed, and well cared for the entire time. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog sitter. Thank you again for taking such great care of Honey!”
“We were delighted to have found Chloe, who looked after our dog for two nights while we had a family funeral. Communication was spot on, we got updates & photos & picked up a happy dog.”
“Nicole was amazing, friendly and communicative. Chewy loved staying with her. She kept us updated on what they had been up to and was very understanding of Chewy's behavior since she's a puppy. I would recommend anyone to book with her.”

Michaela and Keryn looked after Nara for 4 nights while we were on holiday. They were great at keeping in contact with me, providing updates on how Nara was getting on and sending lovely pictures. They were really brilliant with Nara, they took her out to the park multiple times for a run around with her toy stick and kept her cool during the unexpected heat wave. They both have lots of experience caring for dogs and I would highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for a superb dog sitter. Nara will be very excited to see them again soon!
We left our dog, Batou, with Dolly for 5 days and couldn’t be happier with the experience. She sent us daily photos and updates about what they had been doing, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Dolly was always friendly, responsive, and very easy to communicate with. From the photos, it was clear how much Batou enjoyed spending time with her and her partner. They are both lovely, kind people who genuinely care about dogs and make them feel comfortable and happy. We had a wonderful experience and would absolutely book with Dolly again for our next trip. Highly recommended!
As always, Nicole was thoughtful and took great care of little Amber, who settled in very quickly for her overnight stay. While there I also asked Nicole to give Amber a nice short summer cut, which she did beautifully, sorted out some matting which had happened on her very fine fluffy hairs around her face as well as creating a very accurate shaping to suit her poodle side 🐩 with a beautifully shaped pompom tail
Tara was such a happy and engaging young lady and easy to tell from day 1 that she was a lover of animals and that put my mind at ease. She looked after my boy for a week and was hugely accomodating in terms of drop off and pick up times. She really looked after him well and pictures provided of all the cuddles he was giving and getting. She would be my go to person for looking after my dog and i couldnt recommend her highly enough. You can leave your pet in her care with confidence they will be well looked after.
Jessica was absolutely lovely and very reliable. I could relax with peace of mind and got plenty of updates. Roxy has a heart condition so it isn’t easy to leave her with anyone but it felt safe to leave her with Jessica and everything that was advised regards Roxy and her routine was taken on board. We hope to be able to use Jessica for dog boarding again. :)
Sammie and her partner were absolutely incredible sitters for my quirky dog Fin. Sammie was super responsive, easy to communicate with and was so patient with all my instructions for Fin. She sent me regular updates and I could see Fin was super comfortable in their flat with them. I’d recommend them any day and am already planning on rebooking with them for next weekend!
Erin was amazing with our mini schnauzer Max! He definitely has separation anxiety when we leave him, and she kept us updated on how he was doing with photos and videos making us feel so comfortable leaving him. Would absolutely recommend her and Sam and would absolutely have them watch Max again!
Jasper loved his time with Deborah, he was very well cared for and we loved receiving daily updates and photos. It looked like he had lots of fun on his walks and at the beach. It was great knowing he was in good hands while we were away. We’d definitely book with Deborah again and would happily recommend to others.
We’re so glad to have found Sylva. This was our first time leaving Murphy with anyone, and we were obviously nervous about it. However Sylva was great with Murphy. They seemed to hit it off instantly, and, to be honest, I think he would have happily stayed with her a lot longer. She sent lots of photos and messages during his stay, letting us know how he got on. All in all, Sylva will be our go-to for any future booking. Thanks again.
