“I was quite nervous leaving our dog for the first time, as he’s never stayed anywhere without family before, but Rachael and Aaron completely put our mind at ease. They took amazing care of him from start to finish, sending regular updates and check-ins which really reassured us. Dozer came back very settled and it’s clear he genuinely enjoyed his time with them. If I could give them a 10/10, I absolutely would! We’ll definitely be recommending Rachael and Aaron and will happily use them again in the future.”
“We needed someone to host our dog (with no other animals) for a few nights at pretty short notice. Erminia replied very quickly and enthusiastically, and all went very smoothly and easily! She sent updates and our dog was well taken care of 😊 I would happily use her services again in future, and recommend to others!”
“Jojo had an amazing time with Emma and her 2 lovely dogs. Received lots of photos and updates and Emma really made sure she was looked after (especially considering the heat). Already booked in again”
“Lucy had a wonderful experience with Sinem! She provided excellent care and even assisted with administering medication. Lucy was treated like a member of the family and looked incredibly happy. I received regular updates and photos. I am thrilled to have found such a fantastic dog sitter and will definitely use her services again.”
“Diesel had a fabulous time and was soo well taken care of, I received pup dates with photos and videos, This was my first time going away and leaving him in a family home , I couldn’t recommend Artur and Wioleta highly enough and anytime I go away now I will definitely be leaving Diesel with them, A massive Thank you to both of you xx”
“Delighted to have found Andrea. Her care for our dog was second to none and he thoroughly enjoyed his time there and the fun he had with the family dog. Looking forward to our dogs next visit. Thoroughly recommend Andrea as a dog minder.”
“Gabrielle and the whole family did a great job of looking after Milo while we had a week away. They took such good care and were especially mindful of the effect of the heat as his stay fell during a uk heatwave. We will use you again, thank you so much!”
“Sarah was amazing with our nervous dog, Boo. She doesn’t normally warm to strangers very fast, but with Sarah, Boo took to her instantly. You could tell Sarah was patient and had a calming energy about her, which Boo really responded to. During the week-long stay, we received regular updates, and at no point were we worried about Boo. We knew she was well looked after. We will definitely be trusting Sarah with our Boo again. Usually, we worry about leaving her behind when we go away, so it’s lovely to find someone we know Boo is happy with. We honestly can’t recommend Sarah enough!”
“Vivien was great with Buddy and he enjoyed the time he was there,unfortunately I had to cut my trip short due to personal reasons and Vivien was very accommodating and supportive and I would definitely use Vivien again”
“My dog Daisy had a fantastic time staying with Celine. She sent regular photos which reassured me that Daisy was having a great time. She also was very responsive to my last minute changes of plans and was just an all round joy to work with. Would highly recommend!”
About: Hello, I'm Jade, self-confessed animal enthusiast. I've been working in education until recently but am about to take the plunge into the wonderful world of pet-care. Proud Mum of three wonderful rescue dogs (Lab, Lurcher and Spointer), I'm well accustomed to dogs of different sizes with very different personalities. I've also been volunteering at a local dog shelter one day a week since the start of the year, gaining more hands-on experience. I'm dog first aid trained and hold a full DBS. I'm happy to offer any dog services. This is my job and my passion, so rest assured that your dogs will have my undivided attention! This is my full-time job. I have three dogs of my own, ranging from high energy Spointer to the most relaxed, elderly Lab. I love being outdoors and walking. I have a teenager who also really loves dogs, and who also volunteers once a week at the shelter. I live in a bungalow, if boarding with us, the dogs have full use of this, no stairs for those achey older dogs. We have a fully fenced in garden which the dogs have constant access to. We live in an area where walks are in abundance. We do one big walkie a day, and a later, shorter walk. Our dogs sleep wherever they want. I am fully flexible to also dog-sit in the owner's home if required.
“Sinead and her partner are just wonderful, I've never seen my two furry tearaways so well behaved! They will need to tell me their secret! I have no hesitation in recommending their service and will definitely use them again.”
“Michael and Val, are honestly the best people we could have wished for our little cockapoo to spend some time with, they take her for loads of walks, playing ball and enjoying all her little traits. I cannot thank them enough for making our little dog so comfortable will not hesitate to use them again!!”
“Buster had a great time. We were so grateful Patricia could accommodate him last minute while we were away for the week! We had regular updates and Buster was very well looked after x I would 100% recommend Patricia x thank you so much x”
“Sarita was amazing with out puppy. It was the first time leaving her but she had the best time. We had daily updates of what she was up to and felt relaxed that she was in safe hands.”

“I'd been apprehensive about having a cat sitter come into my home but Ellena was highly recommended to me by a colleague. Ellena has just looked after my fur babies for a few days and I couldn't be happier with her communication and care for the cats. The cats certainly seem to have had fun with her! I'll be using Ellena in future over the cattery.”
“Nia was absolutely amazing with my girls, even my shy girl Sophie who hides away took to Nia straight away and was interacting with her and the other girls. Nia done a fantastic job keeping them happy and content, I came back to four happy girls. Would 💯% recommend :) ”
“Thank you Tarrah for house sitting for Jess whilst we were away! We got lots of updates with photos and videos and conract if there were any concerns. Tarrah took the time to let Jess come to her on her terms as she is a timid cat and I think they were firm friends by the end of the week. We returned to a settled cat and clean home. Thanks again 😻”
“Thomas accommodated my last minute booking and set my mind at ease leaving my cats for a few days. He is very attentive and the cats loved him! I will always book Thomas when I go away. I couldn't be happier. He is really nice and I came home to happy cats and a clean area!”
About: I have over three years of dedicated experience caring for cats of all ages and temperaments, including volunteering at a local cat rescue. During that time, I provided daily care, socialisation, and medical support to cats in need—administering medications, monitoring health, and ensuring a clean, stress-free environment. I’m passionate about creating a calm and loving space where each cat feels safe and understood. My attention to detail, patience, and commitment ensure every cat is happy, healthy, and comfortable under my care.
“Lauren was an absolute star! Our cat Ingo is a high-needs cat who needs medication 4 times a day and she made us feel so comfortable leaving him in her care. She kept us updated throughout the whole week and even kept the flat nice and tidy! Thanks so much Lauren for looking after Ingo as your own. ”
“Kristine is absolutely lovely and has taken excellent care of our silly shy cat, with regular updates and great communication! I was just away for two weeks and felt that my pet was in excellent hands the whole time :)”
About: Most of my experience lies with cats. I grew up with 5 cats, bottle-feeding a litter and ensuring they went to loving homes whilst in my teens, and caring for my roommates' cats since then. I adore all kinds of cats, from social extroverts to those who prefer their own space, and I always respond to their individual personalities and needs. I’m happy to handle everything from basic care, like feeding and litter maintenance, to grooming and interactive play. My focus is always on keeping cats comfortable, happy, and engaged, so you can feel confident your feline friend is in caring hands.
“Mel was fab with our wee cat (who is usually quite stand offish with strangers!) and sent regular pictures the whole time we were away. Came back to a very happy cat! :) So reassured by her help we’ve just booked her again. :-)”
“Ellen has been amazing! Really great communication and regular updates. When we came back our cat was chilled out - this is the happiest we’ve seen her after being away. I would definitely recommend Ellen and we will be using her again.”
About: At my age and stage I have played with, fed, watered and cleaned out more litter trays than most! Always having had a cat, along with other pets, I have vast experience looking after them. Now semiretired, I have a background in healthcare which means I am a practical person, and able to do my dream job. Bottom line is I love cats, and will always go that extra mile in making sure your cat is cared for to the same standard as my own.
“Lauren has dog sat for our 3 Maltese dogs on numerous occasions and the dogs love her. She is very reliable and professional, very easy to deal with, asked all the right questions and clearly understood our dogs needs. We would definitely recommend her and will be booking her again!”
“Leah was incredible to deal with. She was very communicative throughout the sitting and she was very helpful and considerate of our cat when stressful nights e.g. new years eve fire works, were approaching to try and make our cat feel as comfortable as possible. If we could 10 stars we would, thanks again Leah!”
“Alexandra is a fantastic cat sitter; diligent, friendly, looks after the cats so well and left the house neat and tidy. She keeps in regular contact and goes above and beyond to give me piece of mind when I’m away from home.”
“I would 100% recommend Heather in a heartbeat. She is calm, efficient and exactly what we needed to visit and feed our extremely nervous little cat while we were away. We got daily updates and it was obvious that Heather genuinely cares about animals and their welfare. Thank you so much Heather, I shall be telling friends and neighbours about your excellent service.”
“Laura is fantastic! That's cats loved her. Laura would come in, feed them, clean the litter trays and play with them. She kept me up to date and contacted me if there were any issues. I recommend Laura!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Chester
Prices are estimates per day for 1 dog. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
“This was the first time we had left Misla with someone other than family or friends and we were nervous. However on meeting Bilgen we were soon put at our ease. She sent us a video and pictures of a happy Misla during the day while we are at a close friends 50th wedding anniversary celebration. On the basis of our experience we would highly recommend Bilgen. She helped make our day.”
“We would definitely see if Rachael is available to look after our Ralphie again next time we are in the area again. 5 stars from even days before we met as Rachael messaged us all the information I asked for very quickly. Our Sproodle Ralphie had a great day and we enjoyed receiving pictures of him whilst our on his walk by the canal.”
“Absolutely brilliant, we can’t recommend Patka highly enough. Finley loved his time with her and was looked after to the highest standard. We felt very reassured knowing Patka was looking after him, and will definitely use her again in the future.”
“Tom was brilliant to deal with from start to finish, and Timber absolutely loved his stay with his new best mate Otto! Tom’s extremely accommodating, and considering this was our first time leaving Timber for the day we couldn't have asked for a better dog sitter, 10/10!👌🏼”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fiona was fantastic with Willow, and we would happily book with her again. We reached out with only a couple of days' notice when we were planning a visit to Chester Zoo, and Fiona was incredibly accommodating from the start. She was flexible with timings, allowing us to drop Willow off towards the later end of our agreed window and collect her at the latest possible time, which made planning our day so much easier. Throughout the process, Fiona was friendly, responsive, and easy to coordinate with. Willow spent the day with Fiona, her own dog Luna, and another dog she was caring for called Rosie. While we were naturally a little cautious about introducing Willow to new dogs, Fiona's confidence and experience gave us reassurance, and she was absolutely right. Luna and Rosie turned out to be the perfect companions for our energetic one-year-old Golden Retriever, providing a great balance of play and calmness throughout the day. Fiona kept us updated with regular photos and videos, which allowed us to see just how much fun Willow was having and helped us relax and enjoy our day out. The updates, combined with Fiona's obvious understanding of dog behaviour and group dynamics, gave us complete confidence that Willow was in excellent hands. The biggest sign of how successful the day was came when we picked Willow up. She was calm, happy, relaxed, and pleasantly tired after a day of fun and stimulation. It's clear that Fiona genuinely cares about the dogs she looks after and creates a safe, positive environment for them. If we're ever back in Chester, Fiona will be one of the first people we contact for dog care. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, reliable, and caring sitter.”
“Michael was very flexible and a responsive communicator. He looked after our dog during the day when we had a long day out with family and were worried about leaving her for too long. We needn’t have worried, she had a lovely time and he was very responsive to her needs. We got her back happy and relaxed, we would book with him again.”
“Frankie was very comfortable and had a great time with Rebecca! She did a meet and greet before hand, was great with communication and sent photo updates throughout the day. We would highly recommend and Frankie would love to stay again 😄”
“Anna was great, Sherlock was a very happy boy after his day. Anna helped us out at very last minute, even when she already had plans but made it work and looked after Sherlock perfectly, he went straight to sleep the moment we got him home.”
About: I went to study at Llysfasi college to do Animal Care, worked with a variety of animals including dogs and i passed the courses successfully. I am now 25 and have moved from North Wales to Chester and Own a tuxedo cat that I've raised from 3 months old. I have plenty of time for dog walking. I am available for bookings on Mondays, Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. I have 1 cat at home called sage. He is very playful and energetic. My normal routine with him is to feed him give him water, play with him, and clean his litter regularly. I will always keep a close eye on your animals if I look after them in your home and will give you prompt updates whilst I am looking after them so your mind is at rest knowing they are okay.
“First time using Tom and have to say he was fantastic. Very good on communications, confident and relaxed with the dog sitting, very easy to deal with and gave me peace of mind.”
“Celine was amazing with Lola, she knew she hadn’t stayed with someone she wasn’t familiar with and Celine was amazing with her she sent me regular updates to keep me in the loop how she was doing which is much appreciated. I am more than happy that I have someone I can leave her with in the future as she had a great time”

“It was lovely meeting Kim yesterday! My pup, Velma, was instantly at ease and had a lovely day in Kim’s care. Kim sent updates and photos during the day and Velma was full of kisses and waggles when we collected her. I’ll definitely be contacting Kim again, as I wouldn’t leave Velma with just anybody. Thanks again!”

“I want to thank Nia for taking care of Kia, helping us with dog walking activity. We just arrived from Mexico, and has not been easy for Kia. Nia has been lovely with Kia and also very flexible with my schedules at work. Nia is highly recommended. Thank you for all the support.”
About: Hey there! I’m Sinem. For the past nine years, Barney, my beloved companion, has been at the center of my world. Also, growing up, I was fortunate enough to share my home with both cats and dogs. Barney isn't your typical easygoing dog; he's got his own personality and quirks, which have taught me patience, resilience :) He is neutered and love playing with small-mid size dogs! Navigating life with Barney has given me a wealth of experience in understanding and caring for pets . Now, I'm excited to share my expertise and affection with your furry family members. Whether it's a playful romp in the park, a cozy snuggle session on the couch, rest assured, your pets will be treated with the same love and care as my own. I am currently at home full-time, live with my husband Sahincan. He is working full time but he supports me during his free times. We have a big park next to our home, generally we are spending our days at the park with Barney. We have a small fenced garden that is safe for your pet, and pets are allowed on the sofa and bed in our home. Please let us know your dog’s daily routine so that he/she can feel at home and adapt easily.
About: My name is Patka (short for Patricia), and animals have been woven into the fabric of my life since childhood. Unfortunately, I had very bad experience with one of the pet owners recently, which reflects my rating. You can find more about the incident in one of my latest reviews. Every coin has two sides. I grew up in Prague surrounded by the gentle giants of the dog world—Caucasian Shepherds—and the elegant companionship of Persian cats. When my family moved to the countryside, I discovered my calling: rescuing cats from the bushes and giving them the love they deserved. At one point, our home was a joyful chaos of 7 dogs and 5 cats, and I wouldn't have had it any other way. I've had the privilege of caring for breeds of all temperaments and sizes—from the powerful Cane Corso to the delicate Yorkshire Terrier, from playful Poodles and French Bulldogs to loyal Czechoslovakian Wolfdogs. When it comes to cats, I've loved them all—Siamese, Persian, Sphynx—though Maine Coons and Ragdolls hold a special place in my heart. Two years ago, I lost my soul dog, a Maltese rescue who taught me what unconditional love truly means. The ache of that loss reminds me every day how precious our time with our furry companions is, and it's made me even more devoted to ensuring every pet feels safe, loved, and cherished. Currently on sabbatical from my career in marketing and PR, I'm fully available to give your pets the attention they deserve. I'd love nothing more than to take your dogs on adventures through the neighborhood, engage your cats in playful sessions with their favorite toys, and shower them all with the affection and care they need while you're away. Your pets aren't just animals to me—they're family, and I'll treat them as such. Since I'm currently on sabbatical, pet care isn't something I'm trying to squeeze into my routine—it is my routine, and I love it that way. Without the constraints of a traditional work schedule, I have the flexibility to be there whenever your pets need me. My days revolve around the animals in my care. Morning walks when the world is still quiet, midday play sessions when energy is high, evening cuddles when it's time to wind down—I structure my time around what your pets need to thrive. If your dog loves an early morning jog or your cat prefers interactive play at sunset, I'm there for it. I'm also available for last-minute bookings, extended stays, or those times when life throws you a curveball and you need someone reliable on short notice. Whether you need daily visits, overnight care, or someone to simply be present throughout the day, I have the time and dedication to give your pets consistent, unhurried attention. Whether I'm caring for your pets in your home or welcoming them into mine, their safety and comfort are my absolute priorities. In Your Home: I understand that inviting someone into your space requires trust, and I don't take that lightly. I treat your home with the utmost respect—keeping it secure, maintaining your pet's established routines, and following your specific instructions to the letter. I'll send you regular photo and video updates so you can see your furry family members thriving while you're away. Your pets stay in their familiar environment where they feel most secure, surrounded by their own toys, beds, and the comforting scents of home. In My Home: Currently without pets of my own, I can offer your animals my undivided attention in a calm, pet-friendly environment. My space is safe, clean, and adaptable to your pet's needs—whether that means creating cozy nooks for a shy cat or ensuring a secure area for an energetic dog. I maintain the same routines your pets are used to, so the transition feels as seamless as possible. Above all, I believe in transparency and communication. I'm always reachable, and I'll keep you informed about how your pets are doing.
“Our baby, Hazel, is a little skeptical about new people. But Christine has such a lovely energy; she was so friendly, and both of them acted as if they had been doing it for years. She was punctual and professional. I can’t recommend her enough.”
About: I hold qualifications in Animal Care and Equine Management and am currently studying Animal Sciences, with specialist areas including Animal Behaviour (Ethology), Animal Welfare, Ecology, Conservation, and Biological Sciences. This gives me a strong scientific understanding of animal health, behaviour, nutrition, welfare, and husbandry across a wide range of species. Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember, and friends, family, and clients have regularly trusted me to care for their pets, offer advice, and support them with everything from feeding and exercise routines to behavioural concerns and general wellbeing. I am experienced and confident in administering medications, including: * Tablets and capsules * Liquid medications * Eye and ear drops * Topical treatments * Injectable medications, including insulin for diabetic pets * Long-term medication management for chronic conditions My education has given me a strong understanding of recognising early signs of illness and injury. I am trained to monitor for common health concerns such as: * Urinary issues in cats (including signs of urinary blockages, cystitis, and FLUTD) * Diabetes * Arthritis and mobility concerns * Digestive issues * Skin conditions and allergies * Respiratory illnesses * Parasites and infectious diseases * Signs of pain, stress, or behavioural changes that may indicate an underlying health problem I am also knowledgeable about common household, garden, and food-related toxins that can be dangerous to dogs and cats, including poisonous plants, foods, medications, and environmental hazards. Pet first aid and welfare are extremely important to me. I am comfortable monitoring and caring for pets recovering from minor injuries or procedures, including changing dressings as instructed by a veterinarian, cleaning minor wounds, monitoring healing, and ensuring medication schedules are followed correctly. For dogs who enjoy adventures, I am happy to accompany them to grooming appointments, veterinary appointments, or other outings if requested. I also don’t mind muddy paws, wet coats, or dirty cars—if your dog enjoys getting messy, I’m more than happy to hose them off after a walk before bringing them home. For safety, I simply ask that owners provide an appropriate crate, seatbelt attachment, or travel harness for any car journeys. Whether your pet is energetic, elderly, anxious, requires medication, or simply enjoys plenty of love and attention, I strive to provide care that is knowledgeable, compassionate, and tailored to their individual needs. 🐶🐱🐰🐴 Your pet’s welfare, comfort, and happiness will always be my top priority. Pet care is never rushed—I make sure each visit includes not only feeding and essential care but also quality time tailored to your cat’s personality, whether that’s playtime, enrichment, grooming, cuddles, or simply quiet companionship. I am available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits, and I can accommodate multiple visits per day where required. I am also happy to provide updates, photos, and videos during each visit, so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. For pets requiring medication, special diets, recovery care, or extra monitoring, I can schedule visits around their specific needs to ensure routines remain as consistent as possible. 🐾 Safety, Trust & Environment I understand how important it is to trust someone with both your pet and your home. I always strive to provide a calm, reliable, and stress-free experience for both pets and owners, ensuring routines are maintained as closely as possible while you’re away. Every animal is treated as an individual. I take the time to learn their likes, dislikes, routines, and quirks, allowing them to feel comfortable and secure in my care. Whether your pet enjoys playtime and attention or prefers quiet company and personal space, I adapt my approach to suit them. Cleanliness and security are extremely important to me. Food and water areas are kept tidy, litter trays are maintained to a high standard, and I always ensure doors, windows, and access points are secure before leaving your home. Communication is a big part of the service I provide. I know how reassuring it is to know your pet is happy and settled, so I’m always happy to send regular updates, photos, and videos throughout my visits. My aim is simple: for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for, and for you to have complete peace of mind while you’re away.
About: I'm a 29-year-old woman who currently works as a street performer which gives me excellent flexibility when it comes to giving your dogs their much-needed energy release. I have a huge love for dogs due to me having lived with four dogs for over a year and I have a particular soft spot for french bulldogs. (I mean, who doesn't?) Big or small I will walk your pooch until they are tired enough to give the ground a smooch! I have volunteered at my Grandmother's animal shelter in New Zealand years ago so I am sufficient in caring for animals, even when there are a lot of them. I go to the gym almost daily so I am physically fit to walk any animal big or small, young or old. I also have volunteered with helping charities raise money and I've used my many artistic skills to help do this. I am perfectly happy to pop into your home and feed the dog(s) before or after the walk if that is required of me, or I can stay overnight at your home to give your pet some extra company for a charge of £25 per night. I hope you find me a good candidate for walking for your furry friend(s)! Hope to hear from you soon! Ellena Mackay. I am self employed and have pet sitting as my main form of income as I squeeze busking and gig work around it. I walk and take public transport so as long as you are nearby I am happy to take care of your pets! I will not be dog boarding as I live in a rental, I will follow any instructions for pet care in their own home where they will be the most comfortable.
About: As a dedicated pet sitter, my primary goal is to ensure the well-being, happiness, and health of the pets under my care. I provide attentive, reliable, and compassionate support, creating a safe and comfortable environment where each pet feels secure, loved, and truly at ease. Looking after dogs is a big part of my lifestyle. With my own dog, I have a consistent routine of walks, play, and relaxation, which makes it easy to include another pet in a safe and loving way. I provide pet care in my own home, where dogs stay in a safe, supervised, and loving environment. They enjoy regular walks in nearby parks, playtime, and plenty of attention. Each dog is treated like part of the family, with care tailored to their individual needs.
“My Molly loved her walk with Morag, Molly is very lively and excitable and Morag seemed to calm her completely. I felt reassured that Morag genuinely also enjoyed Molly's company. Would highly recommend Morag to others looking for really good dog care.”
About: I’ve always had pets in my family since I was little. When I turned 18 I got my own cat and I’ve had her for 10 years now. I started helping out my friend who owns a dog boarders 3 years ago and instantly fell In love with dogs. I’ve helped her whenever I could ever since but I thought I would try my own dog walking business now as I can work around my own schedule. I’m currently only working part time as I have returned to university as a mature student. I won’t have any university over the summer and I’m hoping this will become my part time job so I can focus on it too. I will provide water bottles for dogs for walks and treats. I will not walk them in the hottest part of the day but I’m happy to drop in if the dog owners would like me to visit whilst they are at work. I live near fields so can easily take them away from traffic and in shade.
“Dev was brilliant with my dog Millie , she looked after Millie for a week and kept us updated each day sending us pictures of Millie. I will definitely recommend Dev and I will definitely use her in the future. Dev kept our home very clean aswell ..”

About: Hey there, fellow dog lovers! I’m Tom, a passionate animal enthusiast with a soft spot for our furry friends. Originally hailing from Hawarden in North Wales, I’ve now set up my cozy haven for pets in the heart of charming Chester, where I have a little Victorian terraced home. When your beloved canine companion stays with me, they become a cherished member of our pet-loving family. Our little terraced house is a haven for wagging tails and endless belly rubs. Safety is my top priority, so you can rest easy knowing your pup will be well-supervised and well-loved. I work fully remotely as a data analyst and I am at home most weekdays and weekends! I love taking dogs out for walks around Chester walls. I have a small fenced courtyard. Dogs are well supervised in my home and I ensure they have the utmost care while in my supervision. Endless belly rubs and snuggles are a given when dogs and cats stay with us!
“I'm so pleased that we found Lucy! She took on our booking quite last minute and our golden retriever loved his walks with her and kept looking for her after she had left. Lucy was so friendly, came to meet us before the first walk and always arrived exactly when arranged. We would recommend her to anyone and will definitely contact Lucy the next time we need someone to walk our dog. Thank you Lucy!”
About: I have grown up with cats and dogs and I currently have two maincoons Minnie and buzz, they are mum and son. I run my own cleaning business and I also look after my clients furbabies when they are away or working long shifts, I have built up a good relationship with both clients and their pets. Because I run my own business I am able to work my schedule around any pets I need to care for which makes it flexible. As my job already requires high levels of trust I have keys for my clients homes so I am able to tend to their pets.

“I was quite nervous leaving our dog for the first time, as he’s never stayed anywhere without family before, but Rachael and Aaron completely put our mind at ease. They took amazing care of him from start to finish, sending regular updates and check-ins which really reassured us. Dozer came back very settled and it’s clear he genuinely enjoyed his time with them. If I could give them a 10/10, I absolutely would! We’ll definitely be recommending Rachael and Aaron and will happily use them again in the future.”
“We needed someone to host our dog (with no other animals) for a few nights at pretty short notice. Erminia replied very quickly and enthusiastically, and all went very smoothly and easily! She sent updates and our dog was well taken care of 😊 I would happily use her services again in future, and recommend to others!”
“Jojo had an amazing time with Emma and her 2 lovely dogs. Received lots of photos and updates and Emma really made sure she was looked after (especially considering the heat). Already booked in again”
“Diesel had a fabulous time and was soo well taken care of, I received pup dates with photos and videos, This was my first time going away and leaving him in a family home , I couldn’t recommend Artur and Wioleta highly enough and anytime I go away now I will definitely be leaving Diesel with them, A massive Thank you to both of you xx”
“Delighted to have found Andrea. Her care for our dog was second to none and he thoroughly enjoyed his time there and the fun he had with the family dog. Looking forward to our dogs next visit. Thoroughly recommend Andrea as a dog minder.”
“Sarah was amazing with our nervous dog, Boo. She doesn’t normally warm to strangers very fast, but with Sarah, Boo took to her instantly. You could tell Sarah was patient and had a calming energy about her, which Boo really responded to. During the week-long stay, we received regular updates, and at no point were we worried about Boo. We knew she was well looked after. We will definitely be trusting Sarah with our Boo again. Usually, we worry about leaving her behind when we go away, so it’s lovely to find someone we know Boo is happy with. We honestly can’t recommend Sarah enough!”
“My dog Daisy had a fantastic time staying with Celine. She sent regular photos which reassured me that Daisy was having a great time. She also was very responsive to my last minute changes of plans and was just an all round joy to work with. Would highly recommend!”
“Sinead and her partner are just wonderful, I've never seen my two furry tearaways so well behaved! They will need to tell me their secret! I have no hesitation in recommending their service and will definitely use them again.”
“Buster had a great time. We were so grateful Patricia could accommodate him last minute while we were away for the week! We had regular updates and Buster was very well looked after x I would 100% recommend Patricia x thank you so much x”
“Sarita was amazing with out puppy. It was the first time leaving her but she had the best time. We had daily updates of what she was up to and felt relaxed that she was in safe hands.”
“We can't fault the care Wida showed our dog. We were worried as her dog Peanut was larger but he is very soft, playful and gentle. Our dog went on long walks with plenty of well taken photos which reassured us and they accommodated him into their home without any stress for anyone. He was very chilled when we got him back.”

“This was the first time using Rover. Met Meg prior to our booked dates and Leyla the husky was comfortable immediately. When I left Leyla with Meg she didn't even notice my leaving which put me a peace. But Meg kept me updated sometimes twice a day and with photos. Leyla was happy and that was the most important. Thank you so much Meg for looking after Leyla so well.”
