“Our 2 year old Labrador had a lovely stay with Sima! I received regular updates and photos which was really reassuring while we were on holiday. He always looked happy and well cared for! I would have no hesitation in boarding Obi with Sima again.”
“First time Woody has stayed overnight without us. He got on really well and is always happy with Bethany. She has always kept us at ease with any questions we have.”
“Adele and her husband were absolutely wonderful with my two Shih Tzus this weekend! I was nervous as it was their first time with a dog sitter, but Adele completely put my mind at ease with her frequent updates. It was clear how much fun they were having with her, her family and their two gorgeous dogs. I couldn’t be happier and already have more dates booked! Highly recommend!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! From the moment we met, we knew Nemo was in loving and capable hands. We got regular updates, adorable photos, and total peace of mind while we were away. Our dog came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. We’re so grateful and will absolutely book again. Highly recommend!”
“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 have just collected Percy after a week with Georgia and family, and I dont think he wanted to come home. He was welcomed into their house like an old friend and we can tell he's had a great time. We were kept updated throughout his stay and we were also sent plenty of photos, which is always reassuring. We would recommend Georgia to anyone who is looking for sitting or boarding, and would not hesitate to book Percy in again.”
“Emily is a lovely person who looked after my precious Westie recently . She provided me with lots of updates which is important to me and photos of Koura enjoying herself on walks on the beach as well as looking very chilled and comfy in Emily’s home . I would highly recommend Emily and will use her again when I’m in the area .”
“This was our first booking with Vera. She’s super friendly and very organised. She checked in with me before Lola’s stay started and kept us up to date on how she was getting on. Lola came home a very happy dog and is looking forward to her next stay in July. Big thanks to Vera for looking after our fur baby so we’ll.”
“Sarah looked after my dog, at quite short notice. She's been brilliant, sending me pictures of him whilst I was away and letting me know how's he's doing. 100% recommended.”
“One word Amazing. Such a lovely couple. Arranged a meet and greet. And felt at ease straight away. On the day that I dropped Ollie off I would usually be anxious. But I had no anxiety at all. Ollie has needs in which these 2 knew actually how to look after. I was kept in the loop of how he was going throughout his time away. When I went to pick him up he didn't want to come home. He had a great time. Would highly recommend. Thankyou 😁”
“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!!!!”
“Vanessa was able to take my 2 dogs at short notice to enable me to attend a family funeral. After meeting beforehand I felt very comfortable leaving the dogs with her for 3 days. Both dogs are on medication and one is extremely nervous around people he does not know very well. Both settled in straight away and Vanessa knew exactly what to do to gain their confidence. Vanessa was keen to keep to my home routine as much as possible and was happy giving medication. The dogs had a lovely time and I would be more than happy to book her again.”
“What a brilliant person. Very calm and made me feel very calm and happy before Boris went to stay and while he was there - will definitely call Lewis again next time Boris needs a holiday”
“Han looked after our dog for the first time this weekend and I have nothing but positive things to say. From the first meet and greet I felt very positive and had no worries or concerns about him staying. We were kept updated about his stay and recieved pictures throughout. We've already got his next stay booked! Thanks 😊”
“Whiskey was well looked after by Dianne. She sent regular pictures of whiskey which eased my anxiety about leaving him. It allowed me to fully enjoy my holiday. Definitely use her again”
“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 were very satisfied with the lovely service provided by Melanie whilst looking after our pooch Otis. We met up before our holidays and she took to Otis straight away and him to her.

About: I have always been around Dogs, and cared for dogs in all stages of their lives, from puppies to senior dogs. I currently have two Dogs of my own, a small cross breed and a Labrador. I have quite a bit of spare time at the moment, due to being a stay at home mam. I have lots of time during the week and occasional weekend availability.

About: Working in a cattery has taught me the importance of patience and gentleness that comes with handling and looking after cats. I have learned to recognise their behaviours and provide a calm and enriching environment along side my university education in animal welfare.
About: I have experience caring for cats both personally and professionally. Growing up, I always had cats in the family, so I understand their different personalities and needs, from playful and affectionate to shy or anxious cats. I also currently work as a night veterinary assistant, where I regularly care for cats of all ages and temperaments. This has given me hands-on experience in handling cats calmly and safely while making sure they feel comfortable and stress-free. I understand that cats need patience, routine, and a calm environment, and I will always treat your cat as if they were my own, ensuring they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for during their stay.

About: I believe what sets me apart from other sitters is my lifelong passion and ultimate goal in life and dedication to all of Earths creatures. I am a student studying Animal Management at college with the ambition to progress to University to study zoology. Who better to trust with your animals than someone whose life goal is to care and protect the welfare of all living things? I am currently a volunteer at local animal shelter and charity ‘Pawz for thought’ where I assist in taking care of multiple cats and kittens who are in need of our help. I am available from Saturday to Mondays with occasional availability on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday afternoons. This is due to my College Schedule and volunteering schedule which are all vitally important for my future. My current pets, my heart and souls in my life, my two cats Caillou and Nova, are house cats and remain indoors unless equipped with a harness and strict watch. I am an advocate for spaying and neutering and putting in precautions for all aspects of animal health and welfare. Ensuring an animal is happy, safe and comfortable are all priorities I take pride in harbouring. I am well versed in the 5 essential welfare needs for animals under The Animal Act 2006 and I take this legislation into my animals care very seriously, ensuring an animal under my care is given the best care possible.

I currently work in a doggy daycare, where I care for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments on a daily basis. This includes high-energy dogs, nervous dogs, and dogs with different social needs, so I’m very comfortable adapting my care style to suit each individual dog.

I understand how important peace of mind is when leaving your pet with someone new, so I provide regular updates, messages, and photos so you always know how your pet is doing.My goal is simple: to provide safe, reliable, and genuinely caring pet services that owners can trust and pets can enjoy. I aim to build long-term relationships with both pets and owners, offering consistency, routine, and high-quality care every time. I am still unemployed and looking for a job so i am free anytime of the day or night whenever i am needed i will be available. I will be pet sitting in other people's homes so if needed i can crate your dog or follow a routine whichever works best for the pet i can follow it

About: Ever since my fur baby passed away last year I’ve so missed having a dog around. I love all breeds of dogs, having owned German Shepherds and previously been boarding a Cane Corso, large breeds are welcome here❤️ I work full time, however my early mornings (before 7.15am) or my evenings after 4pm are always free. I typically have a Monday off of work and free all day then, I can board dogs Sunday (after work), overnight and all day Monday. I will have more flexibility in June - being able to board for days/weeks at a time. I have an enclosed front and back garden, with the back garden having high fences, I have back patio doors to allow the dog to come freely in and out of the house. Your pet can treat my home like their home, I want them to feel comfortable with me and enjoy their time here. Whether that be snuggled up together on the sofa or giving them their own space wherever they prefer.
“As first time pet owners we were very nervous to leave her. We had an emergency trip down the country and the hotel could not accommodate her. Abigail was absolutely amazing, short notice and all she was great. Can’t thank her enough and she will be our go to from now on if we ever need to leave her again. We were unsure if she would get on with the other cats or be scared of the dog but Abigail sent photos of her making herself well and truly at home and enjoying socialising with other animals, can’t thank her enough”
“Our dog Ludo had such a lovely time he was loathe to leave. We felt so comfortable leaving him with this lovely family who clearly adore animals. It was our first time using Rover as we’d left it too late to book our usual Kennels and I have to say, I don’t think we’ll be going back to kennels again. Jacqueline and her family made such an amazing impression with us that we hope they’ll welcome Ludo again. I can’t recommend highly enough 😊”
