“Lottie had a lovely stay with Mark. Lots of fussing and a good walk. It is very obvious how much Mark enjoys having dogs around. Judging by the way Lottie greeted him she likes being with Mark too :)”


“Ralph had a good day with Colin. I will definitely be asking for further help with future daycare for Ralph , Colin seems to have a very natural and confident way with dogs, I’m pleased that Ralph was happy spending the day with him.”


“Bonnie had the best day with Susanna and her lovely sociable dogs, Nelson and Sprouty. Susanna is a lovely kind lady who has a real passion for animals. She kept me updated throughout the day with photos and videos of Bonnie enjoying herself. Bonnie absolutely loved Susanna’s massive secure garden, being able to roam freely, with her new friends, exploring all the lovely new sights and smells! Have booked again and will do regularly for Bonnie’s day time care.”


“Being the first time I have left Frank, I was naturally a bit nervous but Frances was so brilliant with him, gave me plenty of updates, communication was spot on from the first enquiry. Frank was very well looked after and happy and I would feel 100% comfortable in leaving Frank with Frances again in future.”


“Elsie was on hand to bail us out of a very tricky work situation and whilst we can't speak for her sitting of dogs, we can say WHAT FANTASTIC COMMUNICATION! Elsie came to meet us within half an hour and our rescue pup Dillon bounded up to her for cuddles which is a great testament to her overall vibe. Will definitely keep Elsie in mind for future sittings!”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with plenty of hands-on experience caring for pups of all sizes and personalities. I grew up with a big Bouvier des Flandres, and now I regularly look after my parents two golden doodles whilst they are away. I also regularly care for my brother’s speedy little Whippet, so I’m confident handling both gentle giants and high-energy breeds. Whether your dog loves long walks, cuddles on the sofa, or a bit of playtime and structure, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’m patient, observant, and treat every dog like they’re my own. I also understand that every dog has their quirks, so I’ll always follow your instructions carefully and keep you updated with photos and messages. I know how important it is to leave your dog with someone you trust so please drop me and message and let’s chat to see if I’m a good fit for your pup. 🐾 I am currently freelance and usually work 2–3 days a week, so I have the flexibility to fit this in on the days I’m not booked. I have a secure garden and my dogs are extremely friendly and love when other dogs visit. I also live next to a huge park perfect for walks.

About: I've cared for many animals and I am caring and supportive. I'm happy to talk first to see what support you need for your pets. Please have a look at the sceenshots of a lovely review I received on the 12th june 2025 from Sam. I work from home and like to be active. I can work around my work to support when needed. I'm flexible and reliable to meet needs. I also live with my partner, he works from home twice a week and is part of my insurance to support with boarding. We have a fenced garden, I currently have no pets after having to say goodbye to my dog of old age. I like the company. Me and my partner are used to having dogs around.

“Thank you Milly for taking care of our furbabies for doggie day care for the first time. Milly gave great direction for home stay and the car park. Brilliant communication throughout the process. Giving excellent update, activities and photos.”


About: I run my own dog business called Poochercise. Offering walking, dog sitting and dog boarding. I will love your dogs as my own. I have very loyal clients who have come back over the years and it’s allowed me to get to know their dogs and be able to connect with them over time. I am incredibly passionate about what I do! Who wouldn’t love to look after dogs for a living? This is my full time job, and therefore I’m available 7 days a week. But do require some notice especially for dog boarding and sitting as I get very booked up. But I will be as accommodating as I can be to help out in emergencies and last minute if I do have availability. I have dogs staying with me in my own home and house sit at clients properties. I will only have dogs staying with me from one family at a time and will only take on 3 dogs at a time. This allows me to give the dogs my full attention and time.


About: After loosing my dog Luna last year, my husband and I are now ready to give attention, care and love to other lovely dogs. And lots of cuddles too. I am available to look after your lovely dog everyday after 2 or some days earlier and my husband works from home most days, so he'll be with them during the day. We will do 2 walks a day if needed and give them company during the day and in the evening I have a secured garden and a doggy flap to access it if needed. Your dog will be with us in any room all of the time

About: I have had dogs in various shapes and sizes since I was a child. A Jack Russell that lived to 17, a rescued Great Dane, a beautiful Weimaraner (the love of my life, sadly missed) and now a 3 year old Bedlington terrier. I also work part time at ITFC and have been DBS checked 👍 Unlike other sitters who will take two, three or even four dogs we will only have one guest dog at a time, this means we can give more attention to your dog. I’m now retired and thought I’d try my hand at dog care. We live in a bungalow on the outskirts of Ipswich surrounded by fields and great walks for dogs (on or off the lead). We also have a large garden that is fully fenced in. I would treat every pet as if it were my own, lots of walks and stimulating play time, I hate to see bored dogs. To encourage good behaviour I set ground rules for my own dog and would expect the guest dog to be able to follow the same simple instructions. This would help to create a calm and relaxed environment.

About: 7 years of training and loving a willful and spirited Giant Schnauzer. Our whole family including our three grown up children also love dog cuddles. We have had dogs come and stay with us for several days or weeks at a time and our two older teenage children regularly dog sit for people in their homes. I work from home so dogs are not left on their own for long periods of time. My husband Lee and I always start our day with an early morning dog walk in the fields with our two dogs and any others which may be staying with us. Living in the countryside provides plenty of opportunity for long walks with the nature reserve just at the end of our road. We have a large garden which the dogs are free to roam about in. The dogs are allowed everywhere on the ground floor of our home and although we are very clear about boundaries the dogs are allowed on the sofas for cuddles with us!

About: I have grown up with large dogs from a young age. I have owned dogs for the past 20 years. I am happy to roll around and play with your dog on the floor but I can also take you dog for a run. I currently have a 11 year Bichon Frise who I've had from a puppy. He gets along with dog but maybe little bit nervous at first I have a professional job which I work away. This also means I am also home alot. Everyone will have my full attention when I am home and will never be left alone. I live in a flat with a large green area out the front. My flat is pet safe and treat any animal that comes here like my own.

About: I have had dogs for nearly 20 years from puppy to 13 years old Our dogs are pampered like children as would our boarders be Our 3 year old Grace is deaf which has been difficult to train but I gained experience with her Having a wide spectrum of dogs has given us experience with most varieties I currently work Tue-Thur but still walk 2-3 miles twice a day before and after work During stays I will be off work and with your dog all day My garden is fenced and my 3 dogs will keep yours company when I am not home I can accommodate most individual requests when needed

I have a very caring nature with plenty of enthusiasm to take care your much beloved pet whist they are in my care, whether it’s lots of attention or lots of walks, it’s fun for me too! Both Cats and Dogs have been part of my life since I was a child. I naturally feel connected to animals and belive them to be more like family. I enjoy their company and will give your pet a loving environment while they are in my care. My routine is to usually to take dogs out for a walk almost immediately as I find they are much more at ease after a walk. It can help distract them from any possible separation anxiety and forms a bond and trust between me and them. As the owner you can feel at ease with your loved one in my care. With lots of updates and photos being sent your way on a daily basis. You can fully enjoy your time away knowing they are in good hands, safe and happy.

“Virginija is the best petcarer which I ever met. She is so caring, so gentle and patient with all pets. It's nice to watch how she's playing with them, teaching new commands and just loving them as the best furry friends. She is looking after my dog always, when I'm on holiday. My dog never felt stressful while being away from me. She is his "second mum" after me☺️”

Amelia C.
“I had the absolute pleasure of leaving my 7-month-old whippet in Amelia’s care for two weeks, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the moment we dropped him off, it was clear she’s a true dog enthusiast—attentive, knowledgeable, and incredibly loving. Throughout his stay, I received regular, thoughtful updates filled with photos, stories, and little details that showed just how well he was doing and how much fun he was having. It made me feel totally at ease knowing he was not only safe, but genuinely happy. Amelia treated him like one of her own, and I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible, caring, and enthusiastic dog sitter. She’s a gem!”

“Michelle was great when looking after my dog Rocket, he is a rescue and had several owners before us so when we went on holiday I was nervous about leaving him behind, but Michelle took the time to bond with him and kept me updated with his adventures while we were away. She made sure he had lots of exercise and plenty of snuggles! Michelle stayed in our house and treated it with respect and care and left it cleaner than when she arrived! Would definitely recommend her services!”
