“Emma is such a star for our family. We feel so at peace when we leave our dogs with her. Even during a heat wave she’s so good to them and keeps us updated with details. Couldn’t be more grateful to have found her!”

About: The Pawfect Getaway. Now taking bookings for four legged guests into 2027 I have many years of hands-on experience caring for dogs as part of my own family. Over the years I’ve shared my home with working Cocker Spaniels, Springer Spaniels and Labradors, so I’m very familiar with both energetic breeds and those who enjoy a steadier pace as they mature. Living with dogs has taught me the importance of consistency, patience and understanding each dog’s individual personality. I’m comfortable with daily walks, feeding routines, enrichment, and quiet companionship — not just exercise, but genuine care and presence. I also have experience administering medication, including tablets and routine treatments, and I’m happy to follow clear instructions to ensure your dog’s health needs are met properly and calmly. What Sets Me Apart Your dog would be cared for in my own home, not a kennel or busy multi-dog environment. I offer one-to-one care, meaning your dog gets my full attention and is treated as an individual, not part of a crowd. I take time to understand and maintain your dog’s existing routines — feeding times, walks, sleeping arrangements and any special habits — so they feel settled and secure while you’re away. Familiar routines make a world of difference to a dog’s happiness and wellbeing. I provide a quiet, relaxed, home-from-home environment, ideal for dogs who prefer calm company, personal attention, and a predictable day. My aim is always that your dog feels safe, comfortable and genuinely cared for — and that you can enjoy your time away with real peace of mind. Exclusive Perk: Secure Field Playtime! 🐾 Does your dog love to run full-speed but needs a completely safe space to do so? When your four legged friend stays with me, I can arrange and facilitate exclusive access to a fully grassed, securely fenced, and entirely safe private field. For 50 minutes of pure, uninterrupted fun, your dog will have the entire area all to themselves to sprint, sniff, and play to their heart's content—without any outside distractions or worries! It is the ultimate energy burner and a wonderful luxury for high-energy or reactive dogs who thrive with a bit of extra space. Please note that an additional fee applies for each field session. If you would love for your furry friend to enjoy this private playground experience during their stay, please enquire at the time of booking so we can secure their slot! Pet care fits very comfortably into my daily routine as I am retired and at home all day. This means your dog will have constant companionship and supervision, rather than being left alone for long periods. I’m able to structure my day around your dog’s usual routine, including regular walks, feeding times, medication if required, play, and plenty of rest. Being at home allows me to give unhurried, one-to-one attention, respond quickly to your dog’s needs, and provide reassurance throughout the day. Whether your dog enjoys activity or prefers a quieter pace, I can adapt the day to suit them while keeping things familiar and calm. My aim is to offer a consistent, home-from-home experience, so your dog feels settled, secure, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. I care for pets in a calm, structured, and attentive way, always treating them as individuals. When caring for dogs in my own home, I provide a safe, relaxed, home-from-home environment with plenty of supervision and one-to-one attention. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully, maintaining established routines for feeding, walks, rest, play, and medication, as consistency is key to helping dogs feel secure. I take time to understand a pet’s personality, preferences, and any health or behavioural needs. I’m experienced with energetic breeds as well as dogs who prefer a quieter pace, and I adapt care accordingly. I ensure dogs are never left for long periods and always have companionship, comfort, and reassurance. When caring for pets in my home, I respect and follow the same careful approach — sticking closely to the pet’s normal routine, keeping their environment familiar, and providing calm, dependable care. My priority in every situation is the pet’s wellbeing, comfort, and safety, and giving owners genuine peace of mind while they’re away.

“Courtney was wonderful! Id highly recommend her if you need someone who clearly cares for animals and loves spending time with them. She looked after our golden retriever overnight and he was calm and content when we returned. She sent us photos and updates throughout the visit too. Will definitely use her again! Thank you!”

About: With over 20 years of dog care experience, I bring a level of expertise most sitters can't match. Having owned multiple dogs, including large breeds, and gained hands on training experience along the way, I understand canine behaviour, energy levels, and individual personalities, so every walk is calm, safe, and tailored to your dog. I'm available for dog walks in the evenings and on weekends, giving your dog consistent, reliable exercise around a routine that fits your schedule. I make sure every walk is unhurried, safe, and enjoyable for your dog. Safety is my priority on every walk. I keep dogs securely leashed, stay alert to their body language and surroundings, and adapt my pace and approach to suit each dog's temperament, energy level, and any specific needs you share with me.

About: I've had animals all my life and have been a pet sitter and Equine holiday care cover for the past 5 years now. Thank you I offer services before my full time job at the moment from 5am till 8.30am and the 5.30pm untill late if required to do so. I don't offer pet care in my home due to family and animals. I offer all my pet care in clients homes to ensure safety.

“Volodymyr stayed at our house with our 2 dogs for 10 days and we were so impressed! From the very beginning, he was very communicative, gave regular updates, and wasn’t afraid to ask questions. One of our dogs has reactivity issues and Volodymyr handled him with ease. When we got home, our home was spotless and in pristine condition, and our dogs were very happy and well taken care of! We are very thankful for Volodymyr and we look forward to working with him again in the future! Highly recommend!”

About: Dogs, cats and many other animals have been in my life since birth. I love them around me. I am an active Guide Dog foster carer, experienced puppy trainer and a member of the Association of Dog Boarders. I am retired so am flexible and can devote time as needed by your pet and can fall into most routines that might be required by them. We have a secure, fenced garden that your pet can explore and which opens onto a large recreation field that is well used by dog walkers. Sociable dogs with good recall can have good fun there. We also have close access to countryside walks.

“Olivia was fantastic with our two boys. She took the time to come and visit them before the booking and asked loads of questions to make sure she was able to care for them the best she could. Olivia stayed in contact throughout giving us updates on the boys. She ensured both boys went on walks even though one of them is tricky on a lead and can be reactive. They both seemed to love her partner. I would definitely book again!”

Diane G.

“Rachel was excellent; she did a first-class job of looking after our three dogs whilst we were away on holiday. Rachel shared regular photographs, videos and messages to keep us up to speed on how the dogs were doing, setting our minds at rest. I'd have no hesitations in recommending Rachel if you need a top notch dog sitter”

About: I’m a doctor and Pet First Aid & CPR certified, with additional training in feline behaviour. I genuinely love pets and have cared for all sorts of catsa and dogs with different personalities and little quirks 😊 I only board one household at a time, so your cat gets plenty of attention and space. For me, it’s not just about food and litter, I keep an eye on their mood, eating, grooming and how comfortable they are, and I’ll keep you updated with plenty of photos along the way. My home is calm with no children or other pets, and has got large windows and lovely views for them to enjoy while they settle in. 🐾 I’m currently preparing for an exam, so I’m home most of the day. I’ll either be studying or spending time with your pet, so they’ll get plenty of company, attention and cuddles. I understand how important it is for cats and dogs to keep to their usual routine, so I always try to keep their feeding, playtime and sleep routine as familiar as possible. 🐾 I know leaving your pet with someone else can feel like a big deal, so I treat every pet as I’d want someone to treat mine.I’m specifically careful with their food, medication, exercise and any little instructions you leave me. My home is quiet, clean, pet-free and child-free, so your pet can have a calm space to settle in and feel at home

About: I have over a year of professional pet-sitting experience here on the rover app. I have also been a volunteer with the Blue Cross for a couple of years, helping to foster and rehabilitate stray cats. I absolutely love animals and caring for them is something I take great pride in. I am particularly well versed in looking after shy, senior and anxious pets - ensuring I take my time and build up trust is essential. I absolutely adore caring for pets and would love to share my passion with you. I work from home flexibly so I am available most days to care for your pets and to walk them / take them outdoors whenever they need. I live in a house with a gated garden and security is a priority for me. I am patient and caring with all furry friends, no matter their personality.
