“Georgia looked after our cockapoo puppy, Milo, for two days and we couldn't have asked for anyone better! It was the first time we'd ever left him, and she couldn't have made us feel more at ease. She kept us updated throughout with pictures, which was so reassuring, and it was clear Milo had the best time with Otis and Barney – it was like a little holiday for him! Georgia is so kind and caring, and we'll definitely be booking with her again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her!”
“Samantha was great with Nugget. From the first meeting I could tell he would be OK with her. When I went to pick him up, it looked like he didn't want to leave. Samantha is the best if you need a weekend away. Will definitely be asking her again, if we need another weekend away”
“We are so grateful for the wonderful care you give our Barney whenever we are away. It gives us complete peace of mind knowing he is in such loving hands. Thank you Beth xxx”
“This was Ollie’s second (and longest) stay with Csilla. Ollie is an anxious rescue dog and was immediately comfortable with Csilla. I was so grateful for the photos and updates, and how much Csilla fell in love with him. On pick up the feeling was obviously mutual and he would have been quite happy to stay! I highly recommend Csilla as a boarder and will definitely be booking again.”
“Ella was an absolute lifesaver for us having Douglas while we went to Kynren. 10 stars. Highly recommended Really chilled, lovely home, clearly loves animals and felt confident and reassured we’d left Doug with someone nice while we swanned off to the show. Thanks again for your patience when we were stuck in the traffic getting out of there too. And you managed to take some lovely photos of him something I’ve not managed to get him to sit still for in 6 years! Thanks again.”
“Tia Maria was totally cared for by Eva. Tia Maria needs to be kept comfortable and cozy as she is quite an old dog and I could see that Tia Maria had felt at home and happy while being looked after by Eva. I would definitely book Eva again. Ten out of Ten from me and Tia Maria 🤩😁”
“When you leave your dog with someone it is always a worry, however Peter was great and looked after our little girl so well. He gave us updates and photos during her stay too. Would not hesitate to leave Tina with him again.”
“This was our first time using a dog sitter, and I was a little nervous, but Brianna was fantastic. She took great care of our dog Betsy, kept me updated with messages and photos, and made the whole experience stress-free. My dog was happy and well looked after. I would definitely recommend her and would happily book with her again. Thank you!”
“Rebecca was an amazing dog boarding found in Rover. She took care of Ivy as yours. She spent time with her and bring her to the beach and on the park. She update me with photos regulary. I can definetely reccomend her to other owner. I collected my girl that she was relaxed and happy. Thank you as well all members of the family of Rebecca that they demonstrate love and care for Ivy. An amazing family!!!!”
“Liam, Hannah & Beau could not have taken better care of Paul for the 9 days we were away. We had loads of updates, Paul looked happier and more settled than we’d ever seen him! Lovely home, lovely family and Beau is the sweetest dog. We will 100% be bringing Paul back for another stay!”
“If I could give Gabbi 10 stars I would!! She was absolutely amazing with my Bruno and looked after him like he was her own. She kept me updated with lots of pictures and videos which really reassured me as this was my first time leaving Bruno with someone who wasn’t family. Bruno also got along really well with Gabbi’s lovely dog Sully and they became the best of friends!! I would 1000% recommend Gabbi to anyone and would definitely rebook with her! xx”
“Sarah looked after George for two weeks. The photos and videos that were sent were great. Sarah was amazing. I could see how relaxed and comfortable he was there interacting with the family. Will definitely be booking George’s next holiday with Sarah. Thank you Sarah”
“Lovely and helpful, took Travis on at short notice. He’s been returned absolutely shattered and plenty of updates during the weekend. Would definitely use again, thank you.”
“Another wonderful stay with Anthony for Jack. A daily update with photo or video was lovely to receive, and something we looked forward to each evening! Anthony was really patient with Jack - he's a very sensitive nervous dog, which can present its challenges, but Anthony did a great job with him. They had a lovely 9 mile walk together, which was great to hear. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend Anthony, he's a superstar!”
“Wendy was just starting out with her dog sitting business when we originally booked Roscoe for a stay. We took him for a visit and happened to mention about taking pictures to show our children. Wendy suggested another visit so we could bring them along to see where Roscoe would be staying, which is really kind. Whilst on holiday we got daily pupdates and it was great to see him enjoying life!”
“Thank you for looking after Peanut so well! He was treated like their own dog and I got regular updates throughout. He came home very content and happy after his stay. He was walked, played with and got plenty of treats and cuddles. Would happily book again and recommend to anyone. Thank you Samruddhi 😊”
“Perfect care for my pooch. He was with Sima for a week of boarding I was updated of his wellbeing daily and he was treated perfectly taken on many walks and played with. I will most certainly entrust them with my dog again. 11/10”

“Louise is an asset to this platform. She looked after my two kitties for 5 days (4 nights) while I was away in Germany. I had regular updates and pictures daily and knew they were in good hands. The house was as I left it, the cats were happy when I arrived home thanks to being looked after in their own home and not having the stress of being in a cattery! I can’t thank Louise enough, I will definitely use her and this service again, I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter.”
“Natassha was superb from the get go! She took meticulous care when gathering our cats needs, sent us lots of updates and pictures whilst we were away. As someone who worries whilst away, I can assure you Natassha will put you at ease and ensure your pets are well cared for. We would not hesitate to book with her in the future.”
“Gheorghe took great care of our three cats. He bonded very well with our youngest cat & kept us updated with pictures. He was also very accommodating with any requests we had & would highly recommend his service 👌”

From playful kitten days to quiet cuddles in their senior years, they’ve been a cherished part of my life, growing with me and have taught me just how deep the bond with a pet can be. In the past 15 years I have had experience administering medicine to both my family cats and caring for them - including cleaning litter trays and personal grooming if needed.
“We got back from holiday this afternoon and can honestly say that knowing Paige was there to take care of Granit made us enjoy our holiday even more as we were a little anxious leaving our kitten for the first time. We were kept well informed with messages, pictures and videos and knew what Granit was getting up to. Paige made useful suggestions that we will implement going forward as we're new to owning a kitten and appreciated her knowledge and experience. We will definitely be asking her to look after Granit in future 😊”
“Thank you so much for looking after our cat. We’ve came home to a happy cat and a clean house. With clear communication and pictures throughout so we knew we didn’t have to worry. We will definitely look to book again in future if needed. 🙂”

“Alison and Romy are excellent pet sitters, couldn’t have wished for better people to look after my babies. They ensured my two cats were well loved during their visits, and I got some lovely photos. Communication was excellent from my first enquiry, and I felt reassured whilst away which made for a stress free trip. Would absolutely recommend and use again. Thank you so much Alison and Romy 😻❤️”

About: 🐾 A Home Away From Home for Your Best Friend! 🐾 Hi! I'm a lifelong dog lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of every age, breed, and personality. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, so I understand that every pup is unique and deserves plenty of love, patience, and individual attention. From energetic puppies learning the ropes to gentle senior dogs needing a little extra care, I'm experienced with it all. I've helped with puppy training, supported older dogs with arthritis and mobility issues, and cared for every stage in between. Whether your dog is full of zoomies or prefers a slower pace, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy during their stay. I've looked after dogs of all shapes and sizes—from tiny Jack Russells right up to gentle giants like Dogues de Bordeaux—so no matter how big or small your four-legged family member is, they'll be welcomed with open arms. Your dog will have plenty of room to make themselves at home in our spacious house, with lots of cosy spots to relax, nap, or simply potter about. Outside, we have a large, secure garden where they can stretch their legs, play, sniff, and soak up the fresh air. We're also surrounded by beautiful countryside, making it the perfect place for exciting adventures, leisurely strolls, and plenty of sniff-filled walkies. Sharing our home is our lovely spayed female Golden Retriever, who absolutely adores other dogs. She's friendly, gentle, and always happy to make new friends—whether that's a game of chase in the garden or simply lounging together after a long walk. I know how important it is to leave your dog with someone you trust, and I'll care for them as if they were one of my own. Whether they're staying for a day, a weekend, or a longer holiday, you can relax knowing they'll receive lots of love, attention, playtime, cuddles (if they enjoy them!), and updates so you can see what they've been getting up to. I can't wait to meet you and your furry friend! I work from home full-time, so caring for dogs fits naturally into my daily routine. My schedule already revolves around my own Golden Retriever, meaning your dog will always have company, attention, and plenty of opportunities for exercise and relaxation throughout the day. Our mornings start with breakfast (our Goldie would never let us forget it!), followed by a long walk through the beautiful nearby woods and countryside. If anyone comes home a little muddy after their adventure, they're more than welcome to enjoy a quick rinse before settling in. While I work, the dogs can relax wherever they're most comfortable, with free access to our spacious, secure garden whenever they fancy a sniff or a potter outside. I take regular breaks throughout the day for playtime, cuddles, toilet breaks, and, of course, the occasional well-earned treat! In the afternoon, we head out for another walk before winding down for the evening. Whether your dog loves exploring, playing, snoozing, or simply being close to people, they'll enjoy a relaxed, home-from-home environment with lots of love, attention, and companionship. Your dog's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. We have a large, fully secure garden with high fencing, giving dogs plenty of space to run, play, explore, or simply relax in the fresh air whenever they like. I also make sure that any plants within their reach are dog-safe, so you can have complete peace of mind. Sharing our home is our friendly, spayed Golden Retriever, who absolutely loves the company of other dogs. Whether it's a game of zoomies around the garden, exploring together on walks, or curling up for a well-earned nap, she's always delighted to welcome a new furry friend. Inside, our home is spacious, calm, and relaxed, and dogs can settle in wherever they feel most comfortable. Whether your dog is playful and energetic or prefers a peaceful snooze after a walk, they'll have plenty of space to feel safe, loved, and right at home.
“James and his wife had Ozzie all day, he settled straight in to their company, enjoyed joining them on their activities and got loads of snuggles and attention. I would definitely use their services again.”

Excellent communication and images of Cooper were sent throughout the day giving updates on his play and what mischief he was getting up. Would definitely recommend Sima.”
“My dog is very anxious and nervous so obviously was a bit worried about his first stay with Kay, soon as I met Kay and her husband I knew he would be fine, they made him feel at home and could tell they just wanted my dog to be happy & safe, he came home worn out as had plenty of walks & play time, would definitely recommend and will be using them again”

I have some Mondays and Fridays off. I generally work 8-4pm Monday - Friday but I can work from home and my evenings and weekends are free. I have a rear enclosed garden with a 6ft high fence, grass and paved area with plenty of plants and greenery. It’s not a huge garden but enough for your pet to have a little run around. I would want the dog to be happy and in my company with plenty of walks, cuddles, sitting beside me etc.
About: I have had many pets over the years. From a donkey, goats, chickens and of course dogs! I stumbled across offering care for other people's dogs by accident really, but it works really well. I care for our extended family and friends dogs in my home while they go away on holiday. I lost my gorgeous dog four years ago and miss him terribly. I decided this would be a great way to enjoy having the company of a dog again. My dog was a whippet so I know what a good walk looks like! I am are registered on trusted house sitters and have five star reviews from all my sits. I have no dogs myself so your dog would be the only dog to be cared for whilst with me. You can go away knowing your dog would be having a lovely holiday with me while you are having your own holiday. They fit in as my pet for the duration of their stay. If I stayed in your home you could rest assured I know how to look after a home. I have been married for over 40 years. I have an acre garden so grass cutting does not faze me either.
About: I’ve been around dogs as long as I can remember. since recently moving out, I’ve really miss having them around, and rover is a great way for me to do something I genuinely enjoy. I’m confident with dogs of all sizes and understand patience, routine, exercise, and giving each dog the attention they need. I work full time and live alone, so owning a dog isn’t the right choice for me right now, but that makes me even more excited to help care for other peoples pets. I’ll treat your dog with the same care and affection I’ve always given the dogs in my own family. I work 3 days on and 3 days off. So i’m available full days on my days off. This means walks, play times, and check in’s. And since I don’t own any pets myself at the moment, your dog gets my full attention. I have grown up with dogs and regularly cared for my parents dogs for weeks at a time, making sure they are safe, happy, and sticking to their routines. My home has a safe and secure garden and is directly behind a large football field, woodland area and open fields. And as a police employee with a background check, owner can feel confident their pets are with someone responsible.
About: Hello. I'm Dan, 34 years old and a lot of free time giving me the opportunity to help you and your pets. I'm an avid animal lover of all types and would welcome all invitations to walk, watch over and treat your best friends as mine too. I like to stay active, keeping a regular walking distance everyday and would happily welcome company on those walks. Whether that be short routes around the neighbourhood or a much longer trek in the hopes of tiring them out by the end of the day. I am a licenced first aider with lots of experience fostering dogs and cats in the past with severe medical conditions and other special requirements. In those situations I'm well trained to remain calm under pressure and skilled at assisting your pet in times of need.
About: I've looked after my sister's large dog since she was a puppy, fed her and took her out for walks and minded her when my sister went away. I love when my friends bring their dogs when we go for walks so I can give them lots of attention and cuddles. When out in public I always stroke dogs with permission and talk to them Currently I have more free time than usual and I am available during the week and weekend for hourly/ daily visits and for overnight stays. I live in Hartlepool so I'd be willing to do drop in visits and walks for anyone living within 10 miles of me and I would stay in your home up to 35-40 miles away from where I live. But please ask as I might be able to make exceptions I can do walks/stays after 17:30 in the teesside area and potentially could do a drop in visit during the day depending on where you live I'd care for the pets in the owners home and follow the instructions they gave me about keeping their pets safe, hopefully this would make life easier for the owner
About: We brought home our first puppy when I was 10, ever since I have looked after and cared for animals personally and professionally. From small furies to horses, I love all animals and will look after yours like they’re my own! At the moment pet care is my full time role, I love animals and this is a dream of mine. I will make sure your fluffers are looked after to the highest standard. I will be looking after your pet in your own home and will always follow your house rules whatever they might be. Please let me know if you have any special requests, I will try to accommodate as much as possible.

“Georgia looked after our cockapoo puppy, Milo, for two days and we couldn't have asked for anyone better! It was the first time we'd ever left him, and she couldn't have made us feel more at ease. She kept us updated throughout with pictures, which was so reassuring, and it was clear Milo had the best time with Otis and Barney – it was like a little holiday for him! Georgia is so kind and caring, and we'll definitely be booking with her again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her!”
“Samantha was great with Nugget. From the first meeting I could tell he would be OK with her. When I went to pick him up, it looked like he didn't want to leave. Samantha is the best if you need a weekend away. Will definitely be asking her again, if we need another weekend away”
“We are so grateful for the wonderful care you give our Barney whenever we are away. It gives us complete peace of mind knowing he is in such loving hands. Thank you Beth xxx”
“Ella was an absolute lifesaver for us having Douglas while we went to Kynren. 10 stars. Highly recommended Really chilled, lovely home, clearly loves animals and felt confident and reassured we’d left Doug with someone nice while we swanned off to the show. Thanks again for your patience when we were stuck in the traffic getting out of there too. And you managed to take some lovely photos of him something I’ve not managed to get him to sit still for in 6 years! Thanks again.”
“When you leave your dog with someone it is always a worry, however Peter was great and looked after our little girl so well. He gave us updates and photos during her stay too. Would not hesitate to leave Tina with him again.”
“This was our first time using a dog sitter, and I was a little nervous, but Brianna was fantastic. She took great care of our dog Betsy, kept me updated with messages and photos, and made the whole experience stress-free. My dog was happy and well looked after. I would definitely recommend her and would happily book with her again. Thank you!”
“Rebecca was an amazing dog boarding found in Rover. She took care of Ivy as yours. She spent time with her and bring her to the beach and on the park. She update me with photos regulary.

An amazing family!!!!”
“Liam, Hannah & Beau could not have taken better care of Paul for the 9 days we were away. We had loads of updates, Paul looked happier and more settled than we’d ever seen him! Lovely home, lovely family and Beau is the sweetest dog. We will 100% be bringing Paul back for another stay!”
“If I could give Gabbi 10 stars I would!! She was absolutely amazing with my Bruno and looked after him like he was her own. She kept me updated with lots of pictures and videos which really reassured me as this was my first time leaving Bruno with someone who wasn’t family. Bruno also got along really well with Gabbi’s lovely dog Sully and they became the best of friends!! I would 1000% recommend Gabbi to anyone and would definitely rebook with her! xx”

“Lovely and helpful, took Travis on at short notice. He’s been returned absolutely shattered and plenty of updates during the weekend. Would definitely use again, thank you.”
“Another wonderful stay with Anthony for Jack. A daily update with photo or video was lovely to receive, and something we looked forward to each evening! Anthony was really patient with Jack - he's a very sensitive nervous dog, which can present its challenges, but Anthony did a great job with him. They had a lovely 9 mile walk together, which was great to hear. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend Anthony, he's a superstar!”
“Thank you for looking after Peanut so well! He was treated like their own dog and I got regular updates throughout. He came home very content and happy after his stay. He was walked, played with and got plenty of treats and cuddles. Would happily book again and recommend to anyone. Thank you Samruddhi 😊”
“Perfect care for my pooch. He was with Sima for a week of boarding I was updated of his wellbeing daily and he was treated perfectly taken on many walks and played with. I will most certainly entrust them with my dog again. 11/10”
“Rebecca was fantastic and bruno really enjoyed his stay with her family and making friends with her dog Douglas. Rebecca kept myself and my partner updated during bruno's stay with plenty of pictures and messages to re assure us he was safe and loving his life. Bruno will definitely be returning ☺️”
About: We've each had our own dogs separately for most of our lives. We've grown up looking after friends or neighbours dogs frequently, we now have our own spaniel together and he loves a play date. I work full time from home as a software developer so I have plenty time and opportunity to play with dogs and let them outside. We have a fenced back garden and a spaniel of our own for your pet to play with, we have plenty room in the office and living rooms for them to relax and play.
“Ana looked after our lively Labrador as if she were her own, thoughtful in planning and kept us up informed how she was to calm an anxious dog owner ! She had a great time and forgot who we are, she has a new family 🤣 already booked again thank you so much”
“I can’t thank Sónia enough for the incredible care she gave my dog, Lucky, over the past four days. From the moment he arrived, she and her family treated him like one of their own — with love, patience, and genuine attention. She kept me updated every day with messages, photos, and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear that Lucky felt completely at home with her and her lovely dog Izzy. The two of them got along so well, and it was heartwarming to see how gentle and welcoming Izzy was with Lucky. What touched me most was how involved her child was in looking after Lucky. He wasn’t just a guest — they embraced him like their own pet. Lucky bonded so quickly with them, always wanting to be close, whether it was playtime, cuddles, or just following them around the house. The way they connected was something truly special, and I know he’s going to miss them a lot. Sónia went above and beyond — from fun walks and play sessions to thoughtful care and even a Sunday chicken dinner, which Lucky absolutely devoured! She noticed every little detail, made sure he was comfortable, and cared for him with so much heart. I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better person and family to look after him. Thank you so much, Sónia — you and your family are truly amazing, and Lucky was lucky to have you.”
