“Siu Yung and her family were absolutely wonderful with Orbit. We had a pre visit beforehand and I knew instantly that she would be well cared for. We were kept so well updated throughout her stay with messages, photos, and little details about walks, meals, and how she was settling in. It genuinely felt like Orbit was part of their family rather than just being looked after. She had lovely walks, lots of attention, and a calm, caring home environment. We came back to a happy, relaxed dog, which says everything. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to book with Siu Yung again and would highly recommend them for anyone looking for home Boarding!”
“Kimberly was super responsive from the start and very accommodating with dates and times. Oschi had a great time. Kim sent lots of photos and videos showing Oschi happy and getting along with the other dogs. Thank you so much to Kim and her partner!”
“Fantastic stay for our French Bulldog. She had visited previously to meet Owen and his dog, she no problems running back in! We’re were really pleased with how comfortable and at ease she was. Owen sent us plenty of pictures making us feel at ease. Would highly recommend.”
“I booked a last minute boarding request with Indy for three days for my large dog. 5 stars doesn’t even cut it! My dog is a rescue and can be nervous at times, but she loved every second. Even though the request was last minute, Indy still accommodated a meet before booking anything, which went well. Layla was so very well looked after and cared for by the family, I had constant updates via text with pictures and videos, she was having the best time. I couldn’t recommend Indy enough, I’ll absolutely be rebooking when the time comes that Layla needs boarding/ dog sitting again”
“Gabriella looked after our little Pluto and couldnt of asked for a better dog sitter. Made sure he was well looked after and kept us updated constantly. If you are looking for someone to look after your puppy/dog I’d definitely recommend Gabriella. I will be using her again!”
“Chanise had my puppy Oreo for 3 days and Oreo absolutely loved every minute of being with her. Chanise went above and beyond to make sure Oreo was happy and comfortable being in a different environment, I really didn’t think he would want to leave! Chanise is such a lovely, caring woman. I would definitely ask her to look after Oreo again as she was so good with him. Highly recommend 🥰🤍”
“An amazing lady who genuinely adores dogs and treats them like they were her own. Our Buck had an amazing four days. This was our first time using Rover and finding Leonore was a breath of fresh air- we had no worries and she made us feel at ease with the photos and videos . Will definitely be using Leonore again. 100% recommend”
“Maria and her husband Vernon were fantastic with our pup, Chloe! Even though Chloe was a little unsettled about being away from home initially, they both did her best to comfort and entertain her and she enjoyed her stay! They have a lovely place with garden and near plenty of big parks for great walks! I would recommend Maria to others :)”
“Amazing sitter!!!!!. Prince came back refreshed and safe! He was in the happiest of moods. Sayo was also more than understanding as we came late due to traffic but was more than easy to watch Prince and make sure he was taken care of. If you can book him you should - kind, goes over every expectation and is some sort of dog whisperer truly.”
“I felt very comfortable leaving Hetty with Diana. She also has a lovely dog so was great company for Hetty. Diana and her husband made sure that Hetty felt safe and comfortable the whole time and I had daily updates, photos and videos. Would definitely leave Hetty with Diana again.”
“I cannot recommend Alix enough! She took such amazing care of my dog, Roux, and went above and beyond in every way. Roux had an absolute blast with her. Alix made sure she had plenty of regular walks, playtime, and even taught her some new tricks, which was such a lovely surprise. What I appreciated most was how attentive and thoughtful Alix was in keeping me updated. She sent me regular pictures and detailed updates about Roux’s eating and potty habits, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. It’s clear that she genuinely loves and cares for the dogs she looks after, and Roux came home happy, healthy, and well-exercised. I feel so lucky to have found such a reliable and caring sitter. Thank you, Alix!”
“Anita was amazing with Mentos, I left my dog with her knowing that my dog will be well looked after. She is very warm and kind person, Mentos was really happy to stay with her and her family. Will book again soon ☺️”
“We booked Hector in for a two‑week stay and couldn’t be happier with the care he received. He was treated like part of the family from the moment he arrived, with regular updates that kept us completely at ease while on holiday. Hector came home relaxed, happy, and clearly very well looked after. The thoughtful presents he received at the end of his stay were such a lovely surprise and showed how much attention and affection he was given. We highly recommend this sitter for anyone looking for a safe, loving home for their dog.”
“I would highly recommend Maria to look after your dog. She is very accommodating and thorough but most importantly, she is kind. I felt comfortable and confident leaving my dog with Maria for a week while we went on holiday and my dog was happy and content when we picked her up.”

“Excellent service from Leanne and Kane. Both were very warm and I felt reassured they would take good care of our cats. They were interested in their different personalities and and what each cat liked. Really good communication whilst we were away with daily updates with lots of photos. Would strongly recommend and would use them again”
“Vanessa kindly has been looking after my Millie at quite short notice. I can’t tell you how over the moon I am with the service and the quality of care that she’s given from Vanessa and our family. She has been an absolute pleasure to deal with so if anyone in the future needs there pet looked after you will not be disappointed. Thank you again Vanessa.”
“We had a great experience with Zahra. She took excellent care of Momo, followed all her routines, and sent regular updates with pictures that gave us real peace of mind. Momo quickly got used to her, which says a lot as she's usually a little shy at first. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring cat sitter.”
“Emma was fantastic with Lottie, she kept in touch regularly with photos and videos and gained Lotties trust in her easily, plenty of play and purrs from one happy cat, highly recommended Emma she is a natural cat lover who goes above and beyond, big thanks again Emma 😊”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care my cats received. It was their first time with this sitter, and they absolutely loved her — and so did I. She was gentle, patient, and instantly made them feel safe and relaxed. I came home to calm, happy cats, and that tells me everything. I highly recommend Samantha and will definitely book again.”
“Was first time leaving Pascal, April has kept us updated with photos as well. Pascal has been well looked after would definitely use April again many thanks for looking after our kitty x x”
About: I’ve grown up around pets and have owned both cats and dogs. My family currently have a cat that I regularly help care for, and I often look after my sister’s two cats while she’s away. I’m confident with feeding, cleaning litter trays, administering basic care, providing companionship and keeping cats comfortable in their own environment. I understand that every cat has a different personality and I always take a calm, patient approach to help them feel safe and relaxed while their owners are away.
About: I am currently a Uni student that loves animals, while I would love to have some, unfortunately I can't, as I am currently living in accommodation, to get around that I decided to try and find some to take care of! :) I have had a few pets ever since I was little, from hamsters, tortoises, birds, dogs and so on. I have taken care of quite a few pets, such as cats, dogs, birds, etc, mostly of these pets were dogs as I am more familiar with dogs and they are my favourite animal. I try my best to spoil the pets, by buying them toys, their favourite snacks and so on. I can do weekends, just contact me to arrange the times as I am usually working. Rest assured that you'll leave your pets in safe hands. I am currently working part time and studying full time, therefore I might need to check my calendar before confirming any bookings, but I am always willing to walking/taking care of your pet(s). Apologies for that! I have experience with many dogs, small, medium and big. I will always make sure that the needs of your pet(s) are fulfilled as well as ensuring a safe environment for them to play/roam around.

“Kim hasbeen absolutely amazing with my dog, Lulu, every single time she’s cared for her. She’s incredibly reliable, kind, and clearly loves animals. Kim always sends me updates, including photos and videos, which gives me such peace of mind while I’m away. She takes Lulu on walks, makes sure she’s well cared for, and treats her like one of her own. I feel so lucky to have found her! I couldn’t ask for a better sitter and would recommend Kim to anyone looking for someone who truly goes above and beyond. Thank you, Kim!”
About: Dogs have been the heart of my home for nearly two decades. After 14 wonderful years with my beloved Staffy, Tyson, I welcomed Titan into my life three years ago.

About: Hello, pet parents! My name is Terisa, and I offer unconditional love and care for your beloved furry friend because I understand just how much they mean to you. Life feels incomplete without the joy of a dog’s presence, which is why I became a dog sitter. I have been dog sitting for 10 years, and it has truly been a wonderful experience! I’ve had the pleasure of meeting so many amazing dogs and families, and I am incredibly grateful to all my lovely pups and their wonderful parents. I’ve found my furry companions through various channels, including Borrow My Doggy, where I became best friends with an elderly Rottweiler and cared for him until his final days. When I lived in the Netherlands, I frequently house-sat on a beautiful houseboat and looked after a sweet little rescued Chihuahua who had emigrated with his owners to experience Dutch life. As a student, I walked dogs for free simply because I loved the companionship. I enjoy taking my dogs on adventures to far-flung places, nature hikes, beautiful parks, and beaches. I’m always on the lookout for dog-friendly activities, and exploring new places with a pup is one of my favourite things to do. Here’s what I can offer: I have a full-time job, and unfortunately, I can’t bring dogs into the office. However, I can arrange to work from home on the days I dog sit at your place. On weekends and holidays, I am available for drop-ins, walks, and full-day dog sitting at your home. I believe in adapting to each dog’s unique energy, which is something I think we can sense from the very first moments. That’s why I always like to meet in person once we’ve made an arrangement. I can’t wait to see your pup’s wagging tail! 🐕

“I genuinely can’t thank Chanise and Jake enough for how amazing they were with Bella. ❤️ My booking was incredibly last minute, but they were so kind and accommodating and made arrangements to be available for her. Bella has never been away from me unless she’s been with family, so I was honestly so, so nervous leaving her. I think anyone who has a dog will understand just how difficult it can be to leave your fur baby with someone new, especially for the first time. 🥹 From the moment I spoke with Chanise for the first time to picking up Bella, the communication was absolutely amazing. The regular updates, pictures and messages throughout the day meant more to me than they probably realise. Seeing Bella looking happy, comfortable and settled instantly put my mind at ease. Being sent pictures of her was definitely the highlight of my day because, if I’m honest, I’d been worrying about her constantly! ❤️ Bella made herself right at home almost immediately, and I truly believe that’s because of how gentle, loving and welcoming Chanise and Jake were with her. They made her feel so comfortable and treated her as though she was one of their own. They were also so flexible and happy to make their home feel like Bella’s home too, keeping things as familiar as possible for her — even letting her enjoy her favourite spot on the sofa! 🐶🥰 This was our first time with them, but I can say with complete confidence that it definitely won’t be our last. I left Bella with them feeling nervous, but I picked her up feeling so grateful and reassured knowing she had been so well cared for. Bella is home now, curled up fast asleep in my lap, and I think that says absolutely everything about the day she’s had. 🥹❤️ A tired and happy dog is the best review of all! Thank you both so much for taking such wonderful care of my girl and for giving me the reassurance I needed. It’s such a relief to find people you can genuinely trust with someone who means so much to you. 100% recommend Chanise and Jake to anyone looking for loving, reliable and genuinely caring doggy care. Bella has definitely found her second home! ❤️🐾”
“Luna spent the day with Diana and she had a fantastic stay. I picked Luna up happy she was well exercised and I was kept up to date with lots of pictures throughout the day and she made another furry friend. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for dog sitting.”

Whether it’s playtime, walks, feeding, cuddles, or maintaining training routines, I’m committed to providing attentive, compassionate care and keeping you updated with regular photos and messages for peace of mind. I'm currently working part-time, so l'll have plenty of time to play with your dogs! I'm available for boarding at weekends, and Monday and Friday I have a fenced garden to keep you pets safely! I can easily crate your dog if needed. And I can also play with them!
“Thiv was amazing. Friendly, flexible and very lovely! ☺️ Great communication and Ellie clearly had the best time with her. Will definitely book again in the future - thanks so much for taking such great care of Ellie!”

If your dog stays with me, I will follow your routines and feeding plans and give them a lovely holiday in a happy, safe and loving environment. They will have regular exercise and playtime.

I have 2 fur babies of my own, a small and medium sized dogs who are friendly and love to have doggy friends come to stay. I am a dog lover, who has had dogs both as a child and as an adult, so has lots of experience. I look after small to medium sized dogs and I accept dogs of any age, young or senior and am based in Hornchurch, Essex.

About: I'm an active, outdoorsy person who genuinely loves being around dogs. I take your dog's exercise seriously: proper walks, real time outside, and plenty of stimulation. My hands-on experience comes from regularly walking and caring for two very different dogs — a Staffordshire Bulldog and a French Bulldog. I’m currently working from home with good flexibility. I can work around the schedule for helping out. Weekends should be free in the day too. My flat is a cosy, well-kept one-bedroom on an upper floor — no balcony or outdoor space, but we’re just a 5-minute walk from a park, so dogs get outside plenty. There are a few flights of stairs to get up to the flat, which is worth knowing for smaller or older dogs.
About: I’ve always had a love for dogs and plenty of hands-on experience caring for them. A few years ago, I spent a couple of years dog sitting, looking after dogs of different breeds, sizes, and personalities, which helped me build confidence and understanding in their individual needs. Alongside this, I’ve had family dogs for over 12 years, so caring for dogs has always been a big part of my everyday life. From feeding routines and walks to playtime, companionship, and understanding their behaviour, I’m experienced in providing a safe, loving, and reliable environment for every dog in my care. At Lisa’s Dog Care, I treat every dog as if they were my own, making sure they feel comfortable, happy, and truly at home. Lisa’s Dog Care is my full-time commitment, allowing me to provide dedicated, hands-on care throughout the entire day. My routine is fully centred around the dogs in my care, ensuring they receive constant attention, supervision, and companionship. Each day begins with morning routines including feeding, walks, and playtime, setting a calm and happy tone. Throughout the day, I am always present, providing one-to-one attention, regular exercise, and plenty of interaction, adapting to each dog’s individual needs and routine. Afternoons and evenings continue with walks, feeding, and relaxation time, making sure every dog feels comfortable and settled. For overnight stays, I am on hand at all times to ensure dogs feel safe, secure, and truly at home. As this is my full-time role, dogs are never left unattended, and their wellbeing, happiness, and safety are always my top priority. Your dog’s safety and wellbeing are my top priorities at Lisa’s Dog Care. I provide a secure, fully fenced garden where dogs can play, explore, and enjoy fresh air safely at all times. Inside, dogs are cared for in a calm, home-from-home setting where they can relax and feel comfortable. I carefully manage introductions and interactions to ensure all dogs get along happily. I also have my friendly Chow Chow, BooBooBear, who loves the company of other dogs and helps create a welcoming, social environment for your fur baby. Whether your dog enjoys playtime or prefers a quieter companion, I make sure every dog feels safe, settled, and cared for like part of the family.

About: I believe in providing a calm, safe, and loving environment so pets feel comfortable while their owners are away. I have looked after family and friend’s pets while they have been away. I am currently working part time so I will have plenty of time to play and care for your pets. Working in education allows me to care for your pets around peak holiday time. When looking after family and friends pets, I always make sure that their schedule is followed and that they are always well cared for and loved.
About: I’ve had cats all my life and currently we live with two feline friends who rule the roost. I have hands on experience with dealing with elderly and poorly cats of my own and also from previous volunteer work in vets and shelters. I am happy to look after other animals within the home as part of the visits (we also have a dog and chickens and have previously had reptiles, rodents, sheep and horses) as well as water plants, close/open curtains and blinds and generally make sure your place is ok in your absence.
About: I have looked after family pets - dogs, cats, horses, a parrot & a rabbit for over 30 years but would love to help others as well. I love walking and am happy to take dogs for a long walk. I love cats as well, I would be happy to keep them company for a while, administer medication & feed them. I would also be happy to stay overnight if necessary. I have recently retired from my teaching job (food technology) so I'm now available day & night to care for your pets or to walk your dogs. I have a very safe bungalow, the garden is fenced securely in which I can look after your dogs and plenty of room inside if the weather is bad.
“We have been using Leanne and Kane now for a few months and I couldn't recommend them enough. Our dogs love them and they are always very professional, punctual and have followed our instructions perfectly as our dogs can be reactive around other dogs during walks. With my chihuahua who is quite nervous, they've taken the time to allow him to settle with them, and been very patient and gentle with him and now he loves them. Absolute 5 star dog walkers”
About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them comes naturally to me. I’m currently a proud dog dad to a six year old French Bulldog who is full of personality, energy, cuddles, and hilarious zoomies. He genuinely believes the world revolves around him, and honestly, he’s probably right. From being my little shadow to my built-in doorbell making sure nothing goes unnoticed, the love and joy dogs bring is something I truly value every day. Before my Frenchie, I grew up with a German Shepherd in the family, so I’m very comfortable with both small and large breeds, different temperaments, and understanding each dog’s unique needs. Over the years, I’ve also looked after friends’ pets including Eurasiers, Chihuahuas, and cats, giving me hands on experience with a wide range of personalities and care routines. What sets me apart is the level of genuine care, patience, and attention I give every pet. Whether it’s daycare, overnight pet sitting, long walks, playtime, cuddles on the sofa, vet visits, administering medication, injections, or making sure anxious pets feel calm and safe while their owners are away, I’ve got it covered. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone else, because I’d want the exact same peace of mind for my own dog. My goal is always to make pets feel loved, comfortable, safe, and treated like family. I’m a freelance interior designer, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of free time between projects to give pets the attention, care, walks, and companionship they deserve. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I already structure my days around my own dog, Ted, my energetic and lovable French Bulldog. If I’m caring for your dog, don’t worry, Ted will be with my partner, so your pup will always get my full attention and dedicated care. I’m available most days of the week for pet sitting, daycare, and walks in the mornings, afternoons, or evenings. I especially prefer staying at your home when pet sitting, as I truly believe dogs feel safest and happiest in their familiar environment and routine. As a dog dad myself, whenever I travel abroad, I make sure Ted stays at home and has someone stay with him rather than moving him somewhere unfamiliar. Our little angels can already feel anxious when we’re away for long periods, so I believe keeping them comfortable in their own space helps reduce stress and gives both pets and owners peace of mind. When caring for pets in their own home, my priority is to follow the owner’s routine, rules, and preferences as closely as possible so your pet feels comfortable, safe, and settled while you’re away. Every dog is different, and I completely respect how each owner chooses to raise and care for their pet. Whether your dog is crate trained, allowed to freely roam, enjoys sofa cuddles, or has certain boundaries around furniture, balconies, or garden access. I will always follow your lead and instructions carefully. I’m also very mindful of each pet’s individual needs, including dietary requirements, allergies, medications, health conditions, exercise levels, and behaviour patterns. Safety is extremely important to me, so I always make sure hazardous items, unsafe foods, or small objects are kept out of reach, and that pets are supervised appropriately both indoors and outdoors. My goal is to maintain your pet’s normal routine as naturally as possible, giving them plenty of care, companionship, playtime, walks, and reassurance while giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in safe and caring hands.
“Kimberly was fantastic when walking Max. She communicated really well and was very reliable. Although Max was booked in for 30 min walks Kimberly made an effort to make sure these were varied and interesting. She went above and beyond in taking him to the beach and dog fields. He was a very happy and tired dog ! Will definitely use again”
About: I have 3 years of experience dog walking and caring for a variety of dogs. I also have two dogs and a cat of my own, so I understand how important it is to provide pets with patience, attention and reliable care. I currently work in a veterinary practice and have completed my Level 2 Dog Grooming qualification, giving me additional knowledge of animal handling, behaviour and general wellbeing. I’m confident caring for pets of different ages, personalities and needs, and always treat every animal as if they were my own. I have experience caring for pets around my work and personal commitments. I’m flexible with my availability and can provide walks, visits and boarding depending on your pet’s needs. I’m happy to discuss specific days and times in advance. I will only be offering pet sitting in the owner’s home, rather than boarding pets in my own home. I will follow your pet’s normal routine and make sure they feel safe, comfortable and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I am currently a Uni student that loves animals, while I would love to have some, unfortunately I can't, as I am currently living in accommodation, to get around that I decided to try and find some to take care of! :) I have had a few pets ever since I was little, from hamsters, tortoises, birds, dogs and so on. I have taken care of quite a few pets, such as cats, dogs, birds, etc, mostly of these pets were dogs as I am more familiar with dogs and they are my favourite animal. I try my best to spoil the pets, by buying them toys, their favourite snacks and so on. I can do weekends, just contact me to arrange the times as I am usually working. Rest assured that you'll leave your pets in safe hands. I am currently working part time and studying full time, therefore I might need to check my calendar before confirming any bookings, but I am always willing to walking/taking care of your pet(s). Apologies for that! I have experience with many dogs, small, medium and big. I will always make sure that the needs of your pet(s) are fulfilled as well as ensuring a safe environment for them to play/roam around.
About: Animals have always been part of our everyday life. We grew up with cats and dogs and recently said goodbye to our much-loved 20-year-old cat. Since moving to the UK, we have a very real pet-shaped gap in our lives and would love to shower another furry friend with care while we settle in. We’re happy with pets of all breeds and ages. I’m home four days a week and my partner is home in the later afternoons, so there’s plenty of time for company, cuddles, and attention. Lunchtime walks are already part of our routine, and we’re lucky to live near lots of dog-friendly parks. I have a hybrid work schedule and am available for walks on my work-from-home days (morning, lunchtime, or late afternoon), as well as weekend pet sitting. I’m especially happy to support pets who enjoy consistent, every-other-day walks. I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of walks, attention, and care. If overnight stays are needed, I don’t have any pets of my own, so your pet will always be my main focus. I’m also happy to pet sit or house sit in your home, where your pet is most comfortable.
About: I have experience caring for a variety of animals including horses, cats, dogs and rabbits. I have been an insured and dbs checked dog walker / sitter and cat sitter for nearly 2 years now working for a bigger company, with them I have also recieved first aid training and basic animal body language training. I've previously cared for the Queens horses 👑 , worked at a doggy day care centre and helped a friend with their dog walking business. I'm also a proud pet mum to 5 lovely furbabies. I have a pony called Mouse, a rescue pup called Elsa and three cheeky rescue cats. My dog Elsa didn't have the best start in life and is reactive and can be aggressive towards other dogs, due to this I have a lot of experience working with reactivity, aggression and muzzle training and am confident in my abilities. I'm also confident in recall training and basic commands. I currently work part time for a pet care service provider and have some spare time to provide services for more clients outside of my usual working hours. I won't be pet sitting In my own home due to lack of space and my own pets not being compatible with that. However I'm more than happy to sit in for a hour or two with pets in your own home, clean up after them, play with them or just simply keep them company.
About: Hey, I’m Maria 👋🏼 I’ve grown up with dogs since I was 5 years old and they’ve always been a huge part of my life. Over the years, I have volunteered with Guide Dogs and have also taken responsibility for caring for my own dogs, as well as family and friends’ pets—always giving them the love and attention they deserve as part of the family 🐶 Friends, family, and neighbours have relied on me to care for their pets, whether that means daily walks, playtime, or making sure they feel comfortable and happy while their owners are away. I understand that every dog has their own personality and needs, and I treat each one with patience, care, and of course, plenty of cuddles & affection 🐾 My husband & I recently bought a new house so I don’t live with my family dog anymore but we would love our own dog in the future! 🫶🏼 Please note, as I am new to Rover, my prices are introductory prices for now & may be subject to change! I work full time as a teacher, so I’m available for dog walks from 4:15–8:30pm during the week, except Wednesday. I am available for dog walks all day Saturday & Sunday. I’m available for boarding everyday besides Wednesdays, however I am at work from Monday-Friday 8am-4:15pm, therefore your dog would be at home with my husband during these times, as he works from home. I live in a house with a large, fully fenced garden & am also a 5 minute walk from a large country park, perfect for dog walks! If it is your preference, I can crate your dog overnight, or they’re welcome to sleep upstairs on the bedroom floor next to me, or downstairs in a cozy dog bed/on the rug. My priority is making sure your dog feels comfortable, safe, and cared for just like they would at home.
About: I’ve been taking care of my Pomeranian since 2021 and have experience with bigger dogs as well. I am a student and love dogs! I want to take up dog walking as a way to work and do something I enjoy. I’m currently a student so I have free time after my classes which can range from early morning to afternoon or late evening. I always have weekends free as well. There is a park near my house and a forest with a trail 10 minutes away. I take my dog on 1-2 hour walks often so I am used to the distance.
About: I grew up with dogs, I beleieve their first language is love. They can feel it. I've been told my house is the 'Dog Rehab' 🫡 They always leave feeling better than when they came. I work in media from home,i need walks as much as my dog because I beleieve it's essential to take a break from the screen and refresh my mind. Pets get alot of love and frequently rewarded in my home for just being beautiful animals. I have lots of treats. They love to be around me, but I do give them freedom to explore the home. Nothing dangerous around the flat as it's a pretty minimalistic w comfy rugs in the living room and dog beds in my room.
About: My sister Kerry and I have many years experience of living with dogs. We have owned a West Highland White Terrier and our most recent, a border collie. We sadly lost our border collie to a brain tumour last year and since then wanted to give other fur besties all the love & fun they deserve! 💕 We’ve spent the last year looking after friend’s & family’s dogs and with the growing interest decided to expand to others. Our home is your dog’s home and will be treated as we would our own. They have total freedom in our house with full access to a lovely, big garden. There will be no cages & no crates used unless you say otherwise. We take the time to gain your dog’s trust as we want nothing more than for your dog to feel as safe & happy with us as they do with you. You can expect plenty of play time, daily walks and a lot of love, as we treat them just like we would our own. We aren’t the only ones that deserve a holiday, your dog does too! Interested in knowing what your dog is getting up too whilst you’re away? No problem! You will receive daily updates and photos to keep your mind at ease 🐶 There will always be someone at home with your dog. Even though I, Nicola, go out to work at times, Kerry and I work together and is around during the day so will always be available in case your dog needs the toilet, to take them on their daily walks, and of course to play! 🎾. We live a 5 minute walk from the park so your dog will never miss a walk, after all, that is their favourite time of day! We try to make our home feel like your dog’s home. Your rules are what we follow. If you keep them in a crate over night please bring it with you. If they’re not allowed upstairs we’ll make sure they stay downstairs. If you allow them full access in your home they will definitely have that here too! We also have a big, fenced garden they have full access too as well. Meet & greet always welcome and advised which gives you a chance to meet us, we can meet you and you can see where your dog will be staying.
“Thank you Terisa for walking Rex at short notice for me & for keeping me updated. He was happy & settled when I returned home. I will be in contact regarding dog sitting here in the near future. ?”

“Siu Yung and her family were absolutely wonderful with Orbit. We had a pre visit beforehand and I knew instantly that she would be well cared for. We were kept so well updated throughout her stay with messages, photos, and little details about walks, meals, and how she was settling in. It genuinely felt like Orbit was part of their family rather than just being looked after. She had lovely walks, lots of attention, and a calm, caring home environment. We came back to a happy, relaxed dog, which says everything. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to book with Siu Yung again and would highly recommend them for anyone looking for home Boarding!”
“Kimberly was super responsive from the start and very accommodating with dates and times. Oschi had a great time. Kim sent lots of photos and videos showing Oschi happy and getting along with the other dogs. Thank you so much to Kim and her partner!”
“I booked a last minute boarding request with Indy for three days for my large dog. 5 stars doesn’t even cut it! My dog is a rescue and can be nervous at times, but she loved every second. Even though the request was last minute, Indy still accommodated a meet before booking anything, which went well. Layla was so very well looked after and cared for by the family, I had constant updates via text with pictures and videos, she was having the best time. I couldn’t recommend Indy enough, I’ll absolutely be rebooking when the time comes that Layla needs boarding/ dog sitting again”
“Gabriella looked after our little Pluto and couldnt of asked for a better dog sitter. Made sure he was well looked after and kept us updated constantly. If you are looking for someone to look after your puppy/dog I’d definitely recommend Gabriella. I will be using her again!”
“An amazing lady who genuinely adores dogs and treats them like they were her own. Our Buck had an amazing four days. This was our first time using Rover and finding Leonore was a breath of fresh air- we had no worries and she made us feel at ease with the photos and videos . Will definitely be using Leonore again. 100% recommend”
“Maria and her husband Vernon were fantastic with our pup, Chloe! Even though Chloe was a little unsettled about being away from home initially, they both did her best to comfort and entertain her and she enjoyed her stay! They have a lovely place with garden and near plenty of big parks for great walks! I would recommend Maria to others :)”
“Maria was brilliant throughout the period she looked after Ozzy. She was so communicative and genuinely made him part of her family. All the family looked after him. He had a great time”
About: I have a lifelong love of animals and hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, and other small pets. I currently have a Weimaraner puppy and a free-roam rabbit, so I understand the importance of providing pets with the right balance of exercise, routine, patience, and affection. I believe every pet is unique, so I always adapt my care to suit their personality and individual needs. Whether they're playful and energetic, shy and nervous, or older and prefer a quieter pace, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I'm happy to follow your pet's usual routine, including feeding schedules, administering simple medications, and any special care instructions. I'm experienced in caring for puppies and understand the importance of consistency, positive reinforcement, and maintaining their routine. I also provide calm, patient care for senior pets, ensuring they receive the attention and gentle approach they need. Communication is very important to me, so after every visit, walk, or boarding stay, I'll keep you updated with messages and photos, giving you peace of mind while you're away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always put their safety, happiness, and wellbeing first. I live with my own Weimaraner puppy, so caring for pets is already a natural part of my daily routine. I also work remotely from home, which gives me plenty of flexibility to spend time with the pets in my care throughout the day. Because I work from home, I can give pets plenty of attention, companionship and supervision, as well as regular playtime, cuddles and walks. I’m able to fit their needs into my daily routine and make sure they are happy, comfortable and well cared for. I provide a safe, clean and welcoming home where pets can feel comfortable and relaxed. My garden is fully fenced and secure, giving dogs a safe space to play and enjoy some outdoor time. I always make sure pets are supervised, receive plenty of attention and have a routine that suits their individual needs. I follow owners’ instructions carefully, including feeding, walking and any special requirements. I also understand how important it is for owners to feel confident leaving their pets in someone else’s care. I treat every pet as an individual and provide regular updates and photos so owners can see that their pet is happy, safe and well looked after.
About: I’ve grown up with large dogs my entire life. Growing up we had a German shepherd names Sabre and then a husky named Eski. Throughout our entire family we’ve always had big dogs, including an XL bully & Great Dane mastiff cross. I’m confident with all types and dogs and have an unbelievable amount of love for them! I go into the office once or twice a week so have most of the week to be at home looking after and playing with dogs. I’m an avid walker so enjoy taking the dogs out in the countryside I have a fenced garden with some good space and dogs living either side of me. I love a cuddle and playtime with all dogs.
About: I’ve had dogs all my life, 2 staffies (one who didn’t get on with other dogs) a springer and a jack/staffie cross. They all had their own personalities but all needed a lot of walks and I miss that the most, taking them out for a long walk in rain, hail or shine and getting home and watching them curl up and drift off always makes me happy. I work full time but wfh home on a Monday and Friday so I only offer long weekends, unless they can have a dog walker for the days I’m not at home. That way I know I can take them out for a walk in the morning and then again after work. I have a reasonably large fenced garden. I don’t allow dogs upstairs or on the furniture. You’re dog will get lots of cuddles, walks and playtime if they like those things, I know they don’t all do.

“Lauren and her family are an absolute dream. They are kind and caring and took great care of my two little doggies. Despite one being quite anxious, they both settled in quickly and felt immediately at home. Lauren has a fab house and big garden so the doggies have plenty room to run around and explore. I will definitely be booking again :)”
“We had a wonderful experience with Chene. After a disappointing experience with another sitter, we were extremely anxious about leaving our precious Bella again. We explained this to Chene beforehand and she was incredibly understanding and reassuring from the very beginning. At drop-off, she took the time to listen to Bella’s routine and all our little requests. Bella was initially nervous, so Chene took her for a lovely woodland walk, which really helped her settle. Her family were equally lovely and made Bella feel completely at home. ❤️ Throughout the day, Chene sent us regular photos, videos and updates without us having to ask, which gave us so much peace of mind. Bella even had a little puppy accident on their bedding 🙈 and Chene was so calm and kind about it, simply reassuring us that puppies do these things. When we collected Bella, she again took the time to tell us all about her day. We came away feeling that Bella had genuinely been cared for like one of their own. Thank you, Chene, for taking such wonderful care of our little girl and for making two very anxious dog parents feel completely reassured. We would happily leave Bella with you again. ❤️🐾”
About: I’ve always had a love for dogs and plenty of hands-on experience caring for them. A few years ago, I spent a couple of years dog sitting, looking after dogs of different breeds, sizes, and personalities, which helped me build confidence and understanding in their individual needs. Alongside this, I’ve had family dogs for over 12 years, so caring for dogs has always been a big part of my everyday life. From feeding routines and walks to playtime, companionship, and understanding their behaviour, I’m experienced in providing a safe, loving, and reliable environment for every dog in my care. At Lisa’s Dog Care, I treat every dog as if they were my own, making sure they feel comfortable, happy, and truly at home. Lisa’s Dog Care is my full-time commitment, allowing me to provide dedicated, hands-on care throughout the entire day. My routine is fully centred around the dogs in my care, ensuring they receive constant attention, supervision, and companionship. Each day begins with morning routines including feeding, walks, and playtime, setting a calm and happy tone. Throughout the day, I am always present, providing one-to-one attention, regular exercise, and plenty of interaction, adapting to each dog’s individual needs and routine. Afternoons and evenings continue with walks, feeding, and relaxation time, making sure every dog feels comfortable and settled. For overnight stays, I am on hand at all times to ensure dogs feel safe, secure, and truly at home. As this is my full-time role, dogs are never left unattended, and their wellbeing, happiness, and safety are always my top priority. Your dog’s safety and wellbeing are my top priorities at Lisa’s Dog Care. I provide a secure, fully fenced garden where dogs can play, explore, and enjoy fresh air safely at all times. Inside, dogs are cared for in a calm, home-from-home setting where they can relax and feel comfortable. I carefully manage introductions and interactions to ensure all dogs get along happily. I also have my friendly Chow Chow, BooBooBear, who loves the company of other dogs and helps create a welcoming, social environment for your fur baby. Whether your dog enjoys playtime or prefers a quieter companion, I make sure every dog feels safe, settled, and cared for like part of the family.

About: My partner Scott and I love dogs and have our own Czech Shepherd, who is friendly, well trained and loves to meet other dogs. We have grown up with lots of different dogs and we can look after dogs of any size or age comfortably! I work from home for most of the week and this is flexible so I can often cater for whenever dog care is needed. I can walk any dog we are looking after in the morning and the afternoon so that they can have lots of fun and also some down time in between! I have a large fenced garden so any dogs can run around and play. I have my own dog so I am used to making sure that a dog has everything it needs.
