“Finding Mark in Rover has been an absolute relief, my dog Harley hates being left alone while i'm at work but I was so worried about leaving him with a complete stranger, Mark has made the whole process so reassuring and Harley clearly already feels comfortable and completely at home. I would recommend Mark to anyone requiring care of there furr baby!!”

“First time Rory stayed with Amy. It went very well. He walked straight into her house. He was made to feel so welcome. He was already settled in the living room when I left. He had, by all accounts, a great day if the photos are anything to go by, with a couple of walks, and endless ball games. When I picked him up, he was his usual happy self which tells me he had a great day. Will definitely be asking Amy again when the need arises. Thank you so much Amy”

“Great communication throughout, lovely to talk to and interact with. Abi settled very well in their home for the night. Would definitely recommend to others in the area who need a dogsitter! Hopefully Abi will be back again sometime.”

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: We have a weimaraner and recently lost our labrador, so are used to large and excited dogs. We have experience with medication and injections as our lab has arthritis so requires tablets and jabs. We have large dog beds and blankets abd a large sofa that animals can curl up on. Our dog is friendly. My partner and I work from home everyday. Pet care fits in around those hours. So a walk before work when the light allows, if not we do lunch time walks instead, and again before dinner if needed. Feeding is normally at 7am and 7pm, however if additional feeding is required this can also be done. We are able to provide medication to dogs too, including jabs. Dog beds are by radiators which are covered. The beds are filed with mattresses and blankets to ensure the dogs are warm and comfortable over night. Dogs are not allowed upstairs, but there is plenty of space on the ground level. Generally we will be in the office and the dogs will sleep there for the day, but they do have access to the rest of downstairs if they want. Toilet breaks are when the dog needs abd there is a high fenced garden out back.

“Murphy had a great time playing with Codie. I was kept updated with a message and picture when he was with Marc for the afternoon and would be happy to have him look after Murphy again in future.”

“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.”


10. Andrew C.
“Andrew has been caring for my pets for years, from popping in to feed my cat, to daily walks with my dog, even yard duties and brining in my horses when needed!! He has a very kind way with animals, and they all take to him straight away. He is very reliable, always prompt and keeps me updated when they’re in his care. Couldn’t ask for a better pet sitter, and will continue to use him for years to come!”


11. Kabir K.

12. Nathan S.
“Nathan had looked after dogs for as long as I remember. He is so playful and energetic around animals. I couldn't think of a more perfect person to look after your animal”


13. Kirsty O.

“Kirsty is amazing; you can tell that she genuinely loves working with dogs. My dog can be quite anxious but she managed to get him settled in quickly and I felt completely confident leaving him with her and her family. Would be happy to recommend her to anyone!”


14. Ellie M.

“Our last session with Ellie as our work in Ipswich ends this week! Ellie has been a fantastic Dogsitter…. Every Monday ready to receive Bronte really early and just looking after her so brilliantly! She is kind, caring and a confident assured dog handler, understanding needs and adapting to different characters and combinations. I felt that Bronte was 100% safe and well cared for. Thank you so much Ellie… you are amazing! What a Godsend for us! Hope we need to come to Ipswich with dog soon! Would highly recommend!”


15. Katie B.

“I needed day care for my labrador Bess for two weeks while I was working in Canterbury. I live in Folkestone so Katie's location in Bridge was convenient. Katie and her family were brilliant in looking after Bess during each day enabling me to relax and focus on work. Katie has two young children so it helped that Bess is very affectionate with everyone especially children. Occasionally I had to work later than I planned and Katie was fine with this. If Bridge is anywhere near you then I would highly recommend Katie.”


16. Katrina B.

“Extremely attentive and lovely!I had to make an emergency appointment and she answered me. She was very polite and kind. I could certainly recommend her a thousand times”

18. Aimee W.
“Aimee is a caring and attentive person who has a wonderful relationship with animals. She has looked after my mum’s dog (a cheeky cocker spaniel) on countless occasions and the two have formed a heartwarming bond. She’s also looked after many of my friends’ dogs and always does a great job - whether it’s going on fun walks, playing around the house or just relaxing on the sofa.”


19. Virginija U.
“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☺️”
