Our elderly Jack/Paterdale cross terrier had a lovely holiday with Yvette and her family. He suffers separation anxiety and needs a tablet every day but Yvette managed all very well and we picked up a happy, well fed and relaxed old pooch after his two weeks holiday. Very happy with his care and the regular updates. Thank you very much x 😊

Sarah and Martin were amazing! Before Jaffa Cake’s stay with them, we had a meet and greet which really put our minds at rest. We knew then that Jaffa Cake would be well looked after and he took to both Sarah and Martin instantly. During Jaffa Cake’s stay, we were sent pictures and videos which was lovely. Jaffa was so well looked after with long walks and trips out. We could see how happy Jaffa was from the pictures. Sarah and Martin went above and beyond and we have already booked the next stay with them.

About: I grew up with golden retrievers. Beautiful soppy dogs. When i got my first house on my own i immediately got a dog, a rescue lurcher called Peggy. I fell in love with the lurcher breed. The two lurchers I have now I got from 10 weeks old. I understand what puppies are like and their need for structure as well as play time. I also understand that dogs need to run and I like to let mine off lead whenever I can in an enclosed area. I have a ramp that I used for my parents old dog whenever I dog sat for them, and have this to use for any older dogs. I also let dogs on my sofas, as it is the comfiest seat in the house, so I can't keep it to myself. Plus I love to cuddle up to my dogs of an evening. I will try to make your dog feel as at home as I can. I work from home full time. Most journeys out I walk so can take the dogs with me. My son is very good with dogs and leaves them be most of the time. I take mine out for a walk every evening, and a longer countryside walk at the weekend, and can take your dog with us. But can work to a different schedule for your dog if needed. I have a fenced garden, 2 friendly dogs, a son who is very good with dogs, and countryside walks a 10 minute walk away or a 5 minute car ride away.

I am glad we chose Karina as our pet daycare nanny. The house was well equipped and welcoming for new explorers! Although my cat is an introvert and prefers to spend time alone, Karina has amazing pets, especially the dog who was very friendly and tried to befriend my cat. She created the necessary accommodations so he is less stressed as he does not like being away from home. Thank you Karina!

About: Hi, we’re Harry & Dale. We’ve both grown up with dogs and, as a couple, cared for two very different personalities: Max, a high-energy Patterdale Terrier, and Molly, a gentle senior Black Labrador. That experience means we’re comfortable adapting care to suit individual dogs - from energetic walks and play to calmer routines, medication awareness, and senior needs. We’re patient, attentive, and good at reading behaviour, routines, and cues, helping dogs settle quickly and feel at home. Harry works from home most weekdays, so dogs are rarely left alone and can enjoy company, supervision, and regular comfort breaks throughout the day. Our routine is flexible, calm, and built around the dog’s usual feeding, walking, and rest schedule. Our home is relaxed, clean, and dog-friendly, with a secure garden for supervised outdoor time. We keep routines clear and consistent, follow owner instructions closely, and only take on dogs we’re confident we can care for safely and attentively. We don’t have children, and visiting family is always considered carefully around any dog in our care. Clear communication, regular updates, and your dog’s comfort and wellbeing always come first.

About: I have had pet dogs all my life and have had 2 dogs as an adult that I have trained with support of puppy and dog classes. I love spending time with dogs and enjoy going for long walks with them, playing in the garden and snuggling up on an evening. I enjoy brushing and ensuring a dog's coat is in good condition. I work full time at a primary school term time only but am home by 3.30 every day. I am very flexible during school holidays. I have a fenced off garden where dogs can safely play outside, I do have a crate available if needed but am happy for dogs to roam free within the home too

About: DBS checked. Doggy first Aid trained. History of being a Dog walker /Pet sitter in the Rutland Area for many years. I have had my own family pets since I was a young child and can look after nearly any pet. I have previously looked after small-holdings which included animals such as Pigs, chickens, horses, goats etc. I am a weekday worker so i do most of this pet care around my full time job so usually update my availability around days off which now tends to be just weekends and bank holidays. Regular walks, toilet breaks. Never left alone for more than 4hours. Meals twice a day morning and evening. Regular stimulants - pre-agreed with dog owner. Arrangement of toys and play if the dog enjoys this.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs for the past 20 years. They have been a presence in the family since I was 12, so caring for dogs feels completely natural to me. I’m confident with walks, feeding routines and adapting to each dog’s individual needs and personality. I’m reliable, calm and communicative, and I’ll always keep you updated so you feel completely comfortable while your dog is in my care. I’m working towards saving up for a dog of my own, and I genuinely care about giving every dog consistent, attentive care you'll feel confident booking again. Because I’m self-employed and work from home, I have a very flexible routine and can prioritise the dogs in my care. On available days, dogs won’t need to be left alone and will have consistent company and supervision throughout the day. Walks, feeding times and play are planned around their needs, and I’m happy to stick closely to your dog’s usual routine. This flexibility means I can accommodate boarding, day care, walks and drop-ins with reliable timing. Whether it’s a short visit, a walk, a day of care, or a longer stay, I’ll take dogs on their usual walks or explore nearby dog-safe routes, giving them exercise, enrichment, and companionship every step of the way. I provide a safe, comfortable, and welcoming environment for every dog in my care. We have a fully fenced, secure back garden with a lawn where dogs can play safely, and they’re welcome in any room of the house. Dogs may be allowed on the sofa if that’s what they’re used to at home, but not on the bed. Dogs are supervised at all times — they’re treated as house guests and will be the only dog in our home at a time, so they get all the attention and care they need. I can administer medications if required, follow flexible feeding routines, and adjust walks to suit their age, size, breed, and ability.

About: Hello, my name is Luke. Thank you for your interest and wanting to find out more about me. Since I was a kid I've been brought up with pets and cared for them, e.g. ensured fresh food and water, walked them, kept their personal hygiene by brushing their hair and bathing ... - anything that the animals needs to be happy and well looked after. At the age of 16 I took my passion for animals further and started four years of animal management at College. I have gained more valuable experience with looking after all sort of animals, including dogs and making them feel comfortable around me. At the same time I started looking after my familys and friends dogs - just for a walk or for longer periods, for example holidays. Despite having my own daily schedule, the animal always gets 100% attention and all instructions by the owner are followed. I love all dog sizes and their different personalities ❤️ It is important to me to meet the dog and owner beforehand, take notes and provide regular updates. I am currently seeking a change of career into animal care and have a flexible working schedule to fit around any requirements. Pet care would also boost my fitness and mental well-being. I am sharing a two bed house with my partner. There is with a fenced garden at the rear, facing a big open field. There is plenty of space in the house for the dog to either socialise or have some quiet time.

I had the absolute pleasure of having Xue look after my two beloved dogs, Dottie and Daisy, and I couldn't be more thrilled with the care she provided. It was evident that Xue had a genuine passion for animals. Dottie and Daisy instantly warmed to her, and it was clear that they felt comfortable and at ease in her presence. Throughout the entire experience, Xue went above and beyond in every way. She not only took care of their basic needs but also showered them with love and attention. I greatly appreciated the daily updates she sent, which included adorable photos and videos. These updates put my mind at ease and allowed me to enjoy my time away without any worries. What truly stood out about Xue was her dedication to ensuring that Dottie and Daisy not only felt safe but genuinely enjoyed their time with her. She took them for long walks and played their favorite games. It was evident that Xue wasn't just a dog sitter; she was a true companion to my pets. I wholeheartedly recommend Xue to anyone in need of a caring, responsible, and devoted pet sitter/boarder. Dottie and Daisy loved her. Thank you, Xue, for taking such wonderful care of my furry family members. We look forward to having you care for them again in the future.

About: I have had many different specs of animals through my walks of life. I pride myself in caring for them to my best abilities. Your pet will be well cared for! I work from home so have a lot of time for caring, from the moment I wake up I love being around animals. Their routines fit well into my daily life. I will provide daily updates, pictures and videos. Also full run down after the stay/walk. I currently do not have a garden but have a small front outside area that I can offer short supervised outside exploration multiple times days. I sit for my families cats and they prefer in a new environment the cats remain inside, for safety, apart from a sniff round the front area. Inside they have roam of the house apart from my bedroom in which I have my pets. I can offer a lot of safe indoor play/activities or none at all- whatever your pet prefers! For walking- I live near a big woodland park to provide long walks.

We highly recommend Krys and Sammie. A wonderful couple with two fantastic dogs! This was our very first time leaving our dog and we couldn’t have asked for more. They totally understood my anxieties and gave us so much reassurance. The updates were great and appreciated. We completely trust them and our little brown dog loved his time and he loved them 💙 many thanks, Ralph, Jo & Kevin.

We couldn’t have asked for a more wonderful dog sitter for Pluto. From the very first moment he was instantly happy and comfortable around Lina which told us everything we needed to know throughout his stay we received the most thoughtful detailed updates almost every day along with lovely photos that truly put our minds at ease. It was also nice to see Pluto nicely warming up with Lina's cat Moose. Pluto had the best time especially with all the attention he received from Lina's extended family members during the Christmas time. He was showered with love, attention, cuddles, treats and even gifts by her whole family. Lina was always responsive whenever we had questions or wanted extra details about what Pluto was up to. Her communication was consistently reassuring. We would not hesitate for a second to recommend her to anyone looking for an exceptional dog sitter. And we’ll certainly be leaving Pluto again with her without a worry. :)

I left my Labrador for the first time and was really nervous about it. But everything turned out absolutely amazing! I received daily updates and photos and videos showing how he was doing and what he was up to. Abby truly loved him and took such great care of him, which made me feel so much calmer. When we picked him up, he was so relaxed – clearly well-walked and happily tired from all the playtime (he’s a big dog, over 40 kg, and without good exercise he gets way too active at home). This honestly exceeded all my expectations. I’m beyond happy I chose Abby – I don’t think I could have found better care for my dog. Thank you so, so much!
