About:

“Emma is beyond what you anticipate in a sitter. Both our dogs and our family could not have imagined how lucky we are to have her support our 2 dogs. And sometimes us in a sticky situation she’s Grace and kindness. She’s a star and we’re so very happy to have her sit for us.”

“Strudel immediately responded to her calm presence and was very well looked after. Very responsive, friendly and warm. We were especially grateful for the understanding when we were slightly delayed due to a concert overrun. Highly recommend!”

About: The Pawfect Getaway. 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. 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: Hello 👋 I am Ruth, 34 and have a 9 year old mix Pip. She is a rescue and through endless love and training she has blossomed over the years from a nervous, shy, quivering pup into a friendly, confident and loving dog. She is in excellent health for her age and loves nothing more than to zoom around a field! I have trained 3 of my own dogs and believe in a loving, positive approach with sensible boundaries. I am extremely active so your dog will get plenty of exercise! I have experience with dogs from 12 weeks to senior. I am self-employed so have plenty of time to give pets the time and attention they deserve. I am very flexible and can work around you and your furry friend as I can't work from anywhere at any time. I have my lovely Pip to keep your pet company and lots of play and socialisation. I can walk, spend time with or care for your pet in your home. I am clean, tidy, respectful and trustworthy. I am keen on animal health and feeding a good diet and plenty of exercise, with constant access to water and regular toilet breaks.

“We had the pleasure of having Tim come over to look after our puppy, and we couldn't be more pleased with the experience! From the moment he arrived, Tim was incredibly friendly and approachable. He took the time to listen to all the information we shared about our puppy's routine and needs, which immediately put us at ease. Throughout the day, Tim kept in touch with us, providing regular updates and photos that reassured us our furry friend was in great hands. It was clear he genuinely cared about our puppy's well-being, and his attentiveness made a significant difference in our peace of mind while we weren’t there. . We highly recommend Tim to anyone in need of a pet sitter. His professionalism and warmth truly made the day enjoyable for both us and our little one. We will definitely be reaching out to him again in the future if he is happy to come back.”

About: I’ve always loved animals and have experience looking after my mum’s and sister’s dogs while they’ve been away on holiday. I’ve cared for them in my own home, making sure they stick to their usual routines with feeding, walks, playtime, and lots of affection. Looking after pets has taught me how important it is to provide a safe, calm, and loving environment where they feel comfortable while their owners are away. I understand that every dog has their own personality and routine, and I’m happy to adapt to their individual needs. Although I’m new to Rover, I’m reliable, responsible, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I’ll care for your pet as if they were my own and keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you can relax knowing they’re in safe hands. I currently work part-time, which gives me flexibility to provide pet care throughout the week. My availability may vary slightly depending on my work shifts, but I’m happy to accommodate drop-in visits, house sitting, and overnight care whenever possible. Feel free to get in touch with your dates, and I’ll always do my best to help. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I provide a calm, friendly, and welcoming home where pets can relax and feel part of the family. I don’t have any other pets, so your pet will have my full attention and won’t need to adjust to other animals in the home. Pets are welcome on the furniture if that is part of their normal routine, helping them feel comfortable and at ease. I am happy to follow your pet’s usual habits and routines, including feeding, exercise, and any special requirements. I work part time, which means I am home a lot and can provide plenty of company, attention, and care throughout the day. I also have a roommate who is usually home when I am not, so your pet will rarely be left alone. I am also happy to stay in your home if that is what makes your pet feel most comfortable. I understand that every pet is different and will always aim to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free experience. I will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel reassured while your pet is in my care.

“This is the first time I have used Heather for dog sitting and I couldn’t be more impressed. She replies quickly to any messages and came out to meet Daisy before agreeing to the dog sitting. We remained in contact and whilst I was away I received updates on how Daisy settled. An all round excellent experience and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Heather 🐾🐶❤️”

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.

“I was happy to leave my dogs with Volodymir. He asked a lot of questions before the stay to ensure he knows my dogs well and what they may need. House was well taken care of at the end of the stay and the dogs were happy. Any serious issues were communicated and discussed.”

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.

“What an absolute treat! Jeanette was amazing with our two energetic pupsters! They were extremely looked after, we had no worries at all. They've had lots of fun, and we had photo updates! Not only were the dogs very well looked after, so was the house! Jeanette even hoovered before we came home. We would highly recommend Jeanette to everyone else. Jeanette, it was an absolute pleasure having you here for our dogs, they loved you!”

“Kat recently looked after our two dogs at our home and we would highly recommend her. Communication was excellent throughout our trip and both the dogs and the house were very well looked after.”

“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!”

“We were absolutely delighted with Rachel and the care she took of our dog. She sent daily updates and it was clear from the photos how relaxed our dog was with Rachel. Her demeanour when we got home also showed us how well Rachel had taken care of her. Thank you so much Rachel - we were able to relax and enjoy our holiday”

“Nicole comes highly recommended from us. We needed a calm, reassuring pair of hands for our nervous and yippy rescue pup. Nicole was 1000% that. We could tell by the questions she asked, and how slow and steady she took things with Harry that she was a cut above many sitters. She took careful care of Harry, shared honest, timely and reassuring updates that added to the enjoyment of our holiday. Nicole was joined in the sit (by prior arrangement) by her fellow pet sitting sister, Kat, who is also a wonderful sitter. The two of them have formed an excellent bond with Harry. They are both firmly in our pack now and we’ll be booking again and have no hesitation in recommending. As an added bonus the house was left beautifully tidy too.”

About: I have over 5 years experience looking after my family dogs, Hugo and Finn, as well as looking after family friend’s dogs, cats and bunnies when they are on holiday.

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.
