1. J Ruth B.

“Ruth was a great dog sitter for our energetic Labrador and seemed like he had a fun time with photo updates. He’s come home happy and healthy which gives me great peace of mind that Ruth took good care of our dog. I would highly recommend Ruth to other pet owners! :-)”


2. Matthew G.

“Matt was super friendly, helpful and responsive and took excellent care of our dog, Evie, over a long weekend away. We received lots of updates and photos and could tell she was having a great time - thank you, Matt!”


3. Hannah C.

“Hannah is a superb and we would highly recommend her to look after your dog. We had never used Rover before and it was a last minute panic after being let down by a dog sitter. Hannah immediately made us at ease before meeting. She and her partner are very welcoming on arrival and any worries about leaving your dog with strangers disappears completely, leaving in the safe knowledge that they care about ensuring your pet is happy and safe. We received daily updates and pictures and have no doubt our dog had an amazing stay. We will be booking Hannah again for our next holiday. Thank you ?”

“Kristen was absolutely brilliant with Bilbo She welcomed a meet and greet session and made sure Bilbo was comfortable with her pets. I instantly felt comfortable in leaving our four legged family member in her care. She kept me updated with pics and how he settled on the first night.

“I am so grateful to both George and his mum for looking after our dog Beau whilst we were away. She’s clearly had a busy week and it’s been so reassuring to know such caring, animal lovers who clearly look after other peoples dogs like they are their own. It was our first holiday since having Beau and it was so important to find the right pet sitter, I would highly recommend George, thank you again so much, Von & Tony”

12. Anna P.

“Thank you, Charlie was calm and happy when I picked him up. Will definitely use again in the future.”


13. Jamie K.

“Jamie and his partner were exceptional dog sitters for my dog Indie and I would highly recommend them to anyone who wants their pup to still feel part of a family while you’re away. They went above and beyond the normal to accommodate our needs which included coming to collect our dog, extending the booking and even taking our dog for a groom and a vet visit when the initial stay was increased due to unforeseen circumstances. The regular updates which includes both photos and videos were fantastic especially seeing our dog walking better on the lead for them than she does for us! I’m so grateful for their amazing care and patience which was hugely reassuring. I cannot recommend them highly enough.”


14. Dave M.

“Opie stayed with Dave for 5 days. He had a great time in the beautiful garden and set up Dave has. We received photo updates during the stay which were really appreciated. Would definitely use him again.”


15. Nataya G.

“Nataya looked after Nellie brilliantly!! We appreciated the lovely pictures of Nellie looking happy and very relaxed while we were away. Nellie would definitely be happy to come for a holiday again x”




16. Georgie B.

“Georgie gave us a lot of confidence that Dougie would be well looked after during our 5 nights away recently and this was confirmed by the excellent daily updates with pictures and videos showing Dougie having the time of his life. The ideal scenario is when you feel your dog is getting a holiday too, we will definitely use her again and would highly recommend her as a caring and attentive dog sitter”


17. Charlotte R.

“From beginning to end Charlotte was amazing. She put me at ease, talked me through everything and was to true to her word. My boys are both challenging and she could not have been more accommodating. I had no feelings of anxiety whilst I was away at a wedding, I was able to fully enjoy myself knowing my babies were well cared for. They had an amazing time with Charlotte and even got to play endlessly with her own lovely dog. I will definitely be using Charlotte's services again if I am holidaying in Wales, in the full knowledge that my boys will be safe, loved and enjoying themselves. Thank you so so much again Charlotte for taking care of us in a stressful situation that was very last minute! Vicki”


18. Domonique L.

“Many thanks to Domonique for taking good care of my two king charles cavaliers for a week. It's always a worry when leaving your precious pets while you go away on holiday, so glad I found a good dog boarder. I would have liked updates and photos on their time there and perhaps a little feedback on how my dogs were doing, but I suspect Dominque was too busy giving them the best care to find time for updates. Maybe that's just me missing them too much x”


19. Sophie R.

“Sophie kept us updated with how Millie was doing during her stay. It sounded like Millie was very settled there and enjoyed her stay! Thank you Sophie x”




20. Lynnette C.

“Lynette and Paul were so lovely with Ted - he was happy and waggy when I dropped him off and when I picked him up, too. He clearly had been made to feel like a part of the family. Thank you very much!”
