About: Hi I'm Megan- from Lancaster a long life animal lover with a passion for animals I have always loved animals from an early age growing up we always had pets from chickens to dogs and cats. When I turned 16 I started working at an animal farm working with a range of animals from farm animals to alpacas ,goats, owls,deers horses and small animals walking feeding and cleaning them on a daily basis my stepdad has 2 horses that I look after called tommy and colin and I also have my own pet rabbit called Daisy and my boyfriend has a dog called reggie (roo) a pug( we are also more than happy to get someone to look after him if your dog does not like other dogs) My motivation to become a pet sitter comes from the love I get from animals I believe that all animals should have the same love as any member of my family i offer lots of services from to drop off visits, dog walking to sitting in your home or my home when you book with me you can expect regular updates and photos and plenty of outdoor time for your pet if they are allowed I aim to provide and loving environment for your pet.i have been raised around animals and have worked with them so you can expect your pets to be trusted around me. we can also meet and familiarise Your cat or dog with me if that would help I tailor every walk or stay to suit your pets needs whether that means quiet companionship and cuddles or extra reassurance I look forward to meeting you and your furry friends megan and bob x I’m currently not working which means I will have plenty of availability, I am very reliable and can work weekdays and weekends any time of the day I always make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable and cared for while they are with me. I follow their normal routine and the owner’s instructions, including feeding, walks, toilet breaks and playtime. I give each pet plenty of attention and company, while also respecting their space and individual needs. I keep their environment clean and make sure they are supervised and safe at all times. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages so they know their pet is happy and settled.
“Zoe was wonderful, perfect communication, kept us updated with pictures and videos and it was obvious to see Monty had a great time with her. Would certainly use Zoe again for dog car. Monty stayed for 3 nights with her”
“If you’ve got a reactive dog, you can be sure they’ll be well looked after with Reece and Lucy! In the past I’ve been so worried about leaving my cocker spaniel with sitters, but from the moment we met I could see how much these two really care about dogs and therefore would prioritise Otis’ comfort, looking out for him and having plans in place for moments where he might have gotten stressed. It turns out this was barely needed as clearly Otis felt right at home from the off, and he didn’t have a single moment of reactivity the whole weekend - which is amazing and absolutely testament to the great care that he was shown. I felt really relaxed about leaving Otis with Reece and Lucy, and I’d 100% do this again. Great comms before and during Otis’ stay too. Thank you both!!”
“Poppy and family took great care of Monty for two weeks. We were unsure of using Rover at first, but we contacted Poppy who arranged an initial face to face and set our minds at rest. Monty takes a while to settle with new surroundings, but Poppy sent plenty of updates and photos. Would definitely recommend!”
“I van honestly say that Weeman had the best time ever, he had loads of walks, went swimming and even tried his hand at herding cows and sheep. Caragh gave me regular updates with lots of photos and videos. I will definitely be using them in the future. A1 fantastic”
“Daisy 2nd day care with Liv and she had so much fun playing with her doggies going on a little adventure walk and overall just having doggy fun. Lots of updates which is always lovely helps out my mind at rest as I hate leaving her but I know she is in safe and loving hands. Thanks Liv xx”
“I am always a little concerned leaving Lola with anyone. As she didn't have a good start in life. I had a very good feeling on our first meeting with Ian and Tracy. I immediately felt at ease as they clearly experienced and comfortable with dogs. They have two dogs of their own and Lola was happy to be with them. I always feel a little nervous and guilty when we go away. So to have someone like Ian and Tracy who reassures you, that she will be well looked after, gives you peace of mind. Excellent communication received, with regular updates and photos, this all helped us. Lola had lots of walks and play time, she was very happy and relaxed when we picked her up. ` I will definitely be using Ian and Tracy again. I highly recommend them for dog boarding. Thank you again.”
“Sarah and family were great. We were kept informed on our 2 dogs settling in and Sarah sent some nice photos. The dogs seemed very happy there. Drop off and collection was without fuss and Sarah took notes on the dogs routines etc. I would highly recomend Sarah and Rover in general.”
“Diana was due to look after Breeze however Breeze has been unwell and stayed at home. Diana was so kind when we met up to introduce Breeze. Breeze was at ease with her straight away. While Breeze has been unwell, she is much better now. Diana kept in touch asking how Breeze was feeling. I would choose Diana to care for Breeze she is a lovely kind young lady ❤️”
“From the moment Hector met Nicola we knew he would be in safe hands. He can be a bit of nervous dog until he gets to know a person and she immediately made him feel at home getting down to his level. According to Nicola they had a nice four days together and he loved his swims in the nearby beck and he was very chilled throughout. Looking forward to his next stay. Thank you so much Nicola.”
“Lisa is always amazing with Sadie. Sadie is an older dog, so always worry about leaving her but Lisa is great and reassuring. She really gives you peace of mind. She even takes numerous photos during her stay, showing me how much little Sadie is enjoying herself, out and about. Can’t recommend her enough.”
“Lesley and Howard have been fabulous looking after my little dog Tinker who has visited a couple of times now for a day break for/from me 😊 She is very timid and anxious around new ventures but didn’t want to leave yesterday which tells me she’s had a great time. She’s allowed outside in a lovely safe garden to play and inside throughout downstairs, Howard takes her for a walk which she loves saying hello to other dogs in her special way 😆 It gives me a lovely break from being dog mum 24/7 I really appreciate the free time and hope to leave her overnight soon. Thank you very much L & H ☺️”

“Did a lovely job with our cat, he seemed very happy and relaxed after Sarah's visit. Sarah was on time with her arrivals and followed the instructions/requirements to the T. Highly recommend ☺️”
“Rowan was brilliant with our two cats, who instantly took to them and clearly felt safe with them. Rowan stayed overnight in our home with the cats, and left it clean, without any concerns. Rowan sent regular updates for how the cats were getting on, including photos. Rowan followed everything we asked of them, which we're very grateful for! We'll be booking Rowan again - thoroughly recommend!”
“Beatrice was fantastic and seemed to earn the trust of a nervous cat! She was extra helpful with being able to do an extra when my plans changed at the last minute. Will be booking again in the future!”
“Chloe was a wonderful choice for dropping in on our three cats while we were away, including one with mobility issues. I usually worry a lot when leaving them, as they are very attached to us and Max struggles to get in and out of the house, but Chloe kept us reassured with plenty of photos and updates and visited them at the same time each day so that they expected and enjoyed her visits. They are very timid, so are wary of most people, but they warmed to Chloe in no time 😊 Thanks so much Chloe!”
About: I’ve had cats since childhood, been a cat parent for 11 years and have also fostered several rescue cats. This included caring for three pregnant cats through their pregnancies and births, and raising their kittens until they were ready for adoption. And recently, I hand-reared a 3 week old kitten (see profile photo) found alone in a dry wall! She has now been adopted into her forever home 🥰 I also have experience pet sitting through TrustedHousesitters, caring for cats and dogs in their own homes while their owners are away. These experiences have made me confident with feeding routines, litter care, administering medication when needed, and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. And most importantly, I really love cats! I will enjoy dropping in to stroke and play with your cats, and will want to give them the best time while you’re away, as I know it can be stressful for some pets (and pet parents!). Just let me know what you and they need to make everyone most happy :-)
About: I’ve had cats from being born, my first cat, Teddy, was actually a member of my household before I was and he lived to be over 20 years old!

Looking after cats my whole life, I am widely knowledgeable about their needs and how to properly care for them, I even know a bit of cat first aid!
About: I have always had a love for cats as they're my favourite animal, I had two cats when I was younger called Jess and Molly who have since sadly passed but I got to love them for their entire lives. I'm now lucky enough take care of my three adorable cats at home; Pageant queen destroyer of the universe who is 2 years old and is reserved but very(!) sassy, Gary who is 20 weeks who is a very cheeky boy who loves to play, and, Striper - the newest addition to our family - he is only 9 weeks old and is slowly beating Gary in play-fights!
“Absolutely wonderful 😊 Libby cared for my 2 cats while we went on holiday, she sent regular updates and photos. She was very sensitive to their needs and both were very happy! I felt confidence in her and coming home to find 2 very happy cats was just lovely. Thank you so much Libby! Xx”

About: I've had pets since 2023. I have 3 indoor cats back in Brunei - I feed them, clean their litter, and bring them to grooming. Occasionally, I would walk them as they do enjoy being in the garden at home. Experience-wise professionally, I have none as a sitter. I miss taking care of my cats so I'd love to take up the responsibility of being a sitter! I've also had experience volunteering at an animal shelter where I had to feed about 40 cats and clean their living area. No one will be assisting me with care.
“Excellent! Paige is instantly likeable from the off, which put me at ease straight away. I was sent updates, videos and pics of Paige and Lucy throughout all of my holiday. On arriving home my flat was immaculate and Paige had even changed the bedding for me. I really cannot recommend enough. Basically I trusted Paige with my home and my much loved cat Lucy and I know that both were looked after as if they were her own. I will definitely be using Paige for all my future nights away and holidays. Thank you Paige - you’re an absolute credit!”

About: I've been around cats most of my life. Some of my earliest memories are on the family farm with cats everywhere then, after the farm was sold, growing up on a rural property we always had at least one cat. Now I'm a grown up cat dad to Kobi and Cas (as well as a small dog) who are British Shorthair brothers aged 13 years old. Both of my brothers have at least 2 cats too - we're definitely a cat family! In terms of pet sitting experience I'm new to the game (I've selected 13 years to reflect the years of experience looking after our own) but I have used this service myself and I'm a natural cat person so I would love to look after your furry friends for you.
About: Hey, I’m Phoebe! I’m 22 and I’d be your perfect dog walker! Not! I’ve grown up with cats my whole life and understand that they need quiet & safety, as well as cuddles & affection! My sister & I used to volunteer at Animal Care, so I’m aware of cats that just need their own space too. I’m currently a History student, so I love to read! My own cat is a black and white rescue called Burton- who loves to jump in empty cardboard boxes & sit on people’s knees!

About: I’m a passionate dog lover with 2 years of hands-on pet care experience! My friend is a veterinarian who has taught me many useful tips for keeping pets healthy and happy. I know basic training, leash walking, and good outdoor habits. I’ve cared for three wonderful dogs: a 6-year-old Shepherd who visits me every two months for a week, a sweet Teddy who stayed with me for two weeks, and a playful 2-month-old puppy who I’ve showered with love and patience. Every dog I meet becomes my friend—I care for them as if they were my own! I currently have a very flexible schedule since I’m not working full-time, which means I have plenty of time and energy to devote to caring for your pets. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or cuddles, I’ll be there whenever your furry friend needs me. Your pet’s safety and happiness come first. I carefully follow all instructions from pet parents and provide personalized care based on your pet’s unique needs. Whether in my home or yours, I create a safe, clean, and loving environment where pets feel comfortable and loved.
“Charlie's first visit today He is used to being with me most of the days so I was nervous even after a lovely welcoming Meet and Greet. Chelsea was great.She sent photos of him out for a walk and all day he looked really happy and smiling for the camera Chelsea was honest and said Charlie had a bit of separation anxiety at first but soon settled with her family including her own dog..which Charlie would have enjoyed.Apparently he didn't eat his meal but that's not unusual anyway!!! He ate when he got home and went to sleep quiet and contented. Great first visit.Already rebooted. I feel relaxed and happy leaving Charlie with Chelsea.”
“Thanks Reece for taking care of our little dog Teddy at short notice. Ted seemed entirely at home, and I appreciated that she had company all day, getting to explore the garden, snooze on the beds and even get a little walk - Reece was great at providing updates and photos, and super friendly.”

“Victoria has been great! She was communicating very well whilst looking after our dog and Bonnie (our dog) had a great time. She settled in straight away and she was happy as ever. Highly recommend Victoria!”
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was a young child. I have always had multiple pets. I am an ex police officer, so you know you can trust me in your home. I’m confident, friendly and reliable. I am extremely flexible and willing to change my day around to meet the needs of you and your pet. Any questions/requests just ask me! I am confident with animals and very trustworthy. I intend on keeping the owner updated with pictures and discussions about their pets throughout my visit
About: I grew up around animals and have a love for dogs and cats in particular although I have been known to cuddle a piglet or a bearded dragon at times! I have always had one or two dogs as an adult. A house just feels empty without them. My love of animals motivated me to complete a degree in animal behaviour. This gave me a really good insight into canine behaviour and the ability to look at a situation from a dogs perspective, this has been invaluable at times. I have experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes and personalities, from energetic young dogs to older pets who need a calmer, more gentle approach. I understand that every dog is an individual and I pay particular attention to how the dynamics between the dogs change when they are living together so that we can keep everyone happy. I always take the time to learn their routine, preferences and needs so they feel safe, comfortable and happy while in my care. I can also carry on training habits or administer medication whilst they are with us. Whether it's walks, playtime, cuddles or simply keeping to their usual routine, I'll care for your dog as if they were my own. My partner Mandy and I are both working from home at the moment so there will be someone available most of the time for back door opening, company and cuddles. I'm flexible and can usually accommodate your dog's normal routine, helping them feel settled and comfortable while they're with us. Your dog will be part of the pack in our home from home environment. Your dog's safety and wellbeing are my top priorities. We have a loving family home with three children—two teenagers and an eight-year-old who has grown up around animals and is always gentle and respectful. We also have two friendly, dog-tolerant cats, so any dogs staying with us will need to be comfortable around cats and children. Outside, we have a securely fenced area of the garden where dogs can safely enjoy time outdoors. In the summer, they have access to their own paddling pool. We also have a larger garden for exercise and play, although this area isn't fully escape-proof, so adventurous dogs with a talent for finding gaps may need to stay on a lead or enjoy the secure area instead. I always tailor each dog's access to outdoor spaces based on their personality and level of recall to keep them safe. I only accept dogs that I feel will be happy and comfortable in our home environment. This helps ensure a safe, relaxed and enjoyable experience for your dog, our family and our own pets. To determine this, we always like to have a visit from you and your dog to our home. We just want to be as sure as we can that everyone is going to be happy during their stay!
“Lego has been to stay with Nicola a few times and we have more booked in. She has the best time ever and we would highly recommend Nicola to everyone. She is so caring and her love and passion for dogs is quite clear as soon as you meet her. We couldn't leave Lego with anyone better. Nicola makes sure that it is a home from home for her. Thank you for looking after our little girl and we will see you next week.”
“Poppy has been absolutely amazing with our 3-month-old puppy, Bobby! From the moment we met, it was evident she's fantastic with dogs and is very caring, loving, and patient towards them. This was so important to me. Bobby had such a blast today, it's like we've sent him to a five-star puppy retreat/woodland hotel. He had a fab walk with Poppy and Primrose in the picturesque countryside. I really appreciated photo updates from Poppy and lovely check-ins about Bobby's stay. I highly recommend Poppy to all loving pet parents, she's truly fab with animals! We have already booked another long-term stay with Poppy for our pup :) Thanks so much, Poppy!”
“Another lovely booking with Sarah, this time for daycare. Pictures showed how at home Herbie feels in her home and he was very keen to get in the house this morning! Thank you again for looking after him so well 😊”
“Captain and Luca had a super day. We felt very confident that they would be well looked after and it was definitely the case. We loved seeing the pictures and they were so relaxed when they came home. They can't wait to stay again. Thank you!”
“Ryan communicated brilliantly throughout the day and kept me updated with regular messages and photos, which was really reassuring. He even walked my very energetic puppy twice! Ralph seemed so happy and clearly loved having a new friend. I’m really pleased and would happily book again. 🐶😊”
About: I am a lifelong animal lover who genuinely misses having a dog around after losing my beloved pup of 8 years last year. I am looking to bring that same level of care, patience, and warmth to looking after your dogs and cats! I work from home most of the time, but because my schedule involves occasional travel, I offer flexible, ad-hoc visits rather than fixed weekly commitments. Working from home most of the time makes hosting doggy daycare a fantastic win-win—it gives me great company during the workday while providing your pet with lots of affection! Because I travel occasionally, I offer flexible, ad-hoc daycare and evening drop-ins rather than fixed weekly commitments, plus occasional weekend visits. Note: Open to occasionally hosting small, well-behaved dogs during WFH days! Having owned a dog for 8 years and worked in a cattery for 2 years, safety and calm handling are my top priorities. I treat every pet owner's home with total respect, closely follow your specific feeding and care routines, and provide attentive, low-stress care tailored to your pet.

“Gandalf had a fantastic time with Alex! I highly recommend using Alex, she is kind and loving towards all animals and Gandalf loves her and her dog Tally. Thanks Alex for giving Gandalf a good time much appreciated ❤”
“She did a great Job. Came to meet our dog before hand to help get her used to a dog walker as it was the first time we have left her with a walker and on the day though our dog was barky and a bit nervous she was very good with her. Kept us updates with messages and some pictures and most importantly our dog was safe and got her walk. Cant recommend Chloe any more!”
About: I’ve taken care of both cats and dogs growing up and I’m excited to meet your best friends! I regularly take care of my family and friends’ animals as I cannot have pets in my current flat and I adore it! I even have two cats of my own ( that live away from me :( )! I am passionate about animals and animal care and conservation and am even aspiring to work with them professionally some day! I currently work shifts for a local retailer so my work hours do vary greatly, however, I have a good ability to choose when and where to work so can work my hours around your pets needs. Outside of work, I have no obligations that would prevent routines and therefore could fit well into your needed pet care plan. Due to my flat not having any available outdoor areas, I choose to provide only home-visit and neighbourhood services. As much as I will not be keeping pets at my home, I live a two minute walk away from the promenade, giving great walking stretches for any dogs, keeping them entertained and happy in a great environment. For in-house visits I am more than happy to do whatever is requested as I understand you know your pet better than anyone else, and I want to offer them and you, the best care possible.
About: I'm experienced in caring for both cats and dogs, and especially passionate about giving excellent care to older and/or medically complex pets. I love the wide variety in cat behaviour, whether they are happiest just existing in the same room, or sitting on my lap, I am always happy to take care of them. While I love all types of dogs, I'm best suited to dogs with less intensive exercise needs, such as smaller breeds or elder dogs. I also have experience taking care of reactive dogs. For drop-ins and dog walks, I may be able to offer a discounted rate in the LA1 3 and LA1 4 areas. If pricing is a concern for you, for example due to low income, or having a large multi-pet household, please get in touch as I may be able to offer a discounted rate. My first proper petsitting experience was taking care of my neighbour's cat when they went on holiday. Even once her owners were back from holiday, we got into a routine where she would wait on the front doorstep every day for me to give her chin scritches. My interest in taking care of medically complex pets comes from personal experience, as my family dog suffered a spinal cord injury a few years ago. Luckily, after excellent vet care, he has an excellent quality of life and is very happy, just with shorter walks than before and regular pain-management medication. I'm very happy to take care of pets that need a little extra attention and support, whether that is with medication, toileting, pain management, reactivity, anxiety, and anything else your pet needs support with. If you're going to be away overnight or for multiple days, I recommend house sitting, as this guarantees your pet will receive love and care whenever they need it. I'll probably ask a lot of questions just to make sure their is minimal disruption to your pets regular lifestyle, and will of course send plenty of updates and photos while taking care of them. I primarily work as a petsitter, alongside occasional knit and crochet commissions. This gives me full flexibility to work within your pets' usual routine, and dedicate as much time as they need to be happy, healthy and comfortable. I will care for your pets as you do! I trust that you know what is best for your pet, and will always to my best to minimise any disruption to their usual routine and lifestyle. I understand that some pets can find it stressful to be taken care of by a new person, so am always happy to do home visits ahead of your trip to make sure your pet knows and likes me - or at least, accepts my presence. I am also insured as a petsitter and dog walker, should any incidents occur. For safety reasons, I prefer to provide my own lead for walks - I will bring this along to a meet and greet so that we can check it's comfortable for your dog. If your dog (or cat!) has a usual walk route, I always appreciate it you can map it out for me.
About: I grew up with two family dogs who lived to 10 and 12 years old, so caring for dogs has always been a part of my life. Over the years, I helped with feeding, walking, playtime, cleaning, and giving dogs attention and companionship. I’ve also helped care for my uncle’s dogs, and he has shared many useful puppy training tips and experiences with me. Through that, I’ve learned more about routines, patience, positive reinforcement. I genuinely enjoy being around dogs and I’m always willing to learn each owner’s preferences and follow their instructions carefully to make sure their pets feel safe and comfortable. Schedule: My schedule is currently flexible because I’m studying programming from home while job searching. I’m generally more available during the daytime and enjoy spending time caring for pets, including walks, playtime, feeding, and keeping them company. I’m also happy to follow each owner’s preferred routine and care instructions. At the moment, I’m unable to host pets in my home due to rental restrictions, but I’m happy to care for pets in the owner’s home and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owner is away. Safety, trust & environment: I always prioritize a pet’s safety, comfort, and routine while caring for them. I’m patient, attentive, and careful to follow the owner’s instructions, including feeding schedules, walking preferences, and any special care needs. At the moment, I’m unable to host pets in my home due to rental restrictions, but I’m happy to care for pets in the owner’s home and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owner is away.

About: I've always lived in a house with multilpe animals throughout my entire life, i've lived with multiple different types of dogs from puppy stage to senior stage as well as dogs that are more high energy and dogs that are more relaxed. i've also lived alongside cats too and currently have one in my household. i'm a full time student so outwith my class times I have no other commitments which means that I have plenty of time to take care of pets. I enjoy excercise and love going on walks so It would be the ideal oppertunity to take a pet alongside me too since i've lived with animals my entire life i'm aware of how each animal comes with different needs and challenges. i'm also aware of any comman household hazards and the best ways to keep them safe within the home.
“Elle accepted our Doberman puppy for a walk at last minute and we couldn’t be happier with how smoothly the process was! We were updated throughout with pictures and kept in touch about anything we needed to know. Would 100 percent recommend Elle to anyone else and will definitely be using her services again :) Thank you!!”
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was a young child. I have always had multiple pets. I am an ex police officer, so you know you can trust me in your home. I’m confident, friendly and reliable. I am extremely flexible and willing to change my day around to meet the needs of you and your pet. Any questions/requests just ask me! I am confident with animals and very trustworthy. I intend on keeping the owner updated with pictures and discussions about their pets throughout my visit
About: I have five years of hands-on experience caring for my family dog, a 7-year-old Pomeranian–Shiba Inu mix weighing around 6 kg. He is energetic and friendly with other dogs, so I am comfortable supervising walks, playtime and social interaction. Since moving to the UK, I have really missed spending time with my dog in Hong Kong. This encouraged me to join this platform so I can continue caring for dogs and provide them with safe, attentive and affectionate companionship. I usually walk him for around 30 minutes in the morning or afternoon and another 90 minutes in the evening. I manage his feeding routine, clean his paws after every walk, bathe and brush him regularly, and brush his teeth weekly. I have also given him deworming treatment and medication for ear irritation. After his neutering surgery, I cared for him during his recovery and monitored his energy levels and behaviour closely. During walks, I remain calm, maintain a steady pace and keep the lead controlled rather than encouraging pulling or running. I am reliable, patient and happy to follow each owner’s feeding, walking and care instructions carefully. I can provide regular photo and message updates. I currently offer dog walking and care at the owner’s home. In an emergency, I would contact the owner immediately and seek veterinary assistance when necessary. I am available every day from July to September, so I have plenty of time for walks, playtime and attentive care. From late September, my availability will depend on my university timetable, but I will regularly update my schedule and communicate clearly with owners before accepting bookings. As my accommodation does not allow pets, I only provide dog walking and drop-in care at the owner’s home. I will follow all feeding, walking, medication and household instructions carefully, keep doors secure and make sure your dog is comfortable and safe. I can also send regular photo and message updates, and I will contact the owner immediately if I notice anything unusual.
About: I’ve fed, taken care of and played with dogs and cats for family members, friends and neighbours multiple times in the past whilst they were working or on holiday. I also have experience working at a vets as well as on a farm and I am certified to give cpr to a dog. I am currently searching for a job meaning that any time that is not spent searching for a job will be spent caring for pets. I feed, interact with, and try my best to make the pet feel comfortable to have me in the house. I see it as intruding in their space and I should respect the pet in the house as I would a person. I make the pet comfortable, then feed, let out, and play with the pet if needed.
“Jess has been an absolute godsend. Our dog absolutely adores her and she has made my transition back to work and leaving the dog at home a much smoother process. I highly recommend Jess to anyone once she comes back from a much needed summer break”

“Alexandra was very responsive and gave lots of pupdates! Rupert seemed comfortable right away and even went to a gala with the family. I would happily have Rupert stay with Alexandra and her family again.”
“Matt and Zoe were wonderful with Jolene! They walked her miles, showered her with treats, and really made a giant fuss of her. They were friendly and proactive in communication with us, and sent us loads of photos of our sweet girl.”
“Angus loved his second stay, he was excited to see Chelsea when he got there. Lovely photos sent during his stay, our plane was delayed meaning we had to pick him up later than planned and she was great about it”

“If you’ve got a reactive dog, you can be sure they’ll be well looked after with Reece and Lucy! In the past I’ve been so worried about leaving my cocker spaniel with sitters, but from the moment we met I could see how much these two really care about dogs and therefore would prioritise Otis’ comfort, looking out for him and having plans in place for moments where he might have gotten stressed. It turns out this was barely needed as clearly Otis felt right at home from the off, and he didn’t have a single moment of reactivity the whole weekend - which is amazing and absolutely testament to the great care that he was shown. I felt really relaxed about leaving Otis with Reece and Lucy, and I’d 100% do this again. Great comms before and during Otis’ stay too. Thank you both!!”
“Poppy and family took great care of Monty for two weeks. We were unsure of using Rover at first, but we contacted Poppy who arranged an initial face to face and set our minds at rest. Monty takes a while to settle with new surroundings, but Poppy sent plenty of updates and photos. Would definitely recommend!”
“I van honestly say that Weeman had the best time ever, he had loads of walks, went swimming and even tried his hand at herding cows and sheep. Caragh gave me regular updates with lots of photos and videos. I will definitely be using them in the future. A1 fantastic”
“Sarah and family were great. We were kept informed on our 2 dogs settling in and Sarah sent some nice photos. The dogs seemed very happy there. Drop off and collection was without fuss and Sarah took notes on the dogs routines etc. I would highly recomend Sarah and Rover in general.”
“Lesley and Howard have been fabulous looking after my little dog Tinker who has visited a couple of times now for a day break for/from me 😊 She is very timid and anxious around new ventures but didn’t want to leave yesterday which tells me she’s had a great time. She’s allowed outside in a lovely safe garden to play and inside throughout downstairs, Howard takes her for a walk which she loves saying hello to other dogs in her special way 😆 It gives me a lovely break from being dog mum 24/7 I really appreciate the free time and hope to leave her overnight soon. Thank you very much L & H ☺️”
“Hollie looked after our 1 year old Lab Max for close to 10 days while we were on holiday. Max loved being at her home with her dogs and family and he was very well looked after in our absence. I wouldn’t hesitate to leave Max with her again and recommend her whole-heartedly.”
“Pete is truly a dog lover and one of, if not the best, dog sitters anywhere. He gave our high energy pups considerable attention, long walks, and love. He gave us peace of mind with status updates and gorgeous photos… the photos were professional grade! We can’t recommend Pete enough! Archie and Edward look forward to their next holibob with Pete!”
About: I grew up around animals and have a love for dogs and cats in particular although I have been known to cuddle a piglet or a bearded dragon at times! I have always had one or two dogs as an adult. A house just feels empty without them. My love of animals motivated me to complete a degree in animal behaviour. This gave me a really good insight into canine behaviour and the ability to look at a situation from a dogs perspective, this has been invaluable at times. I have experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes and personalities, from energetic young dogs to older pets who need a calmer, more gentle approach. I understand that every dog is an individual and I pay particular attention to how the dynamics between the dogs change when they are living together so that we can keep everyone happy. I always take the time to learn their routine, preferences and needs so they feel safe, comfortable and happy while in my care. I can also carry on training habits or administer medication whilst they are with us. Whether it's walks, playtime, cuddles or simply keeping to their usual routine, I'll care for your dog as if they were my own. My partner Mandy and I are both working from home at the moment so there will be someone available most of the time for back door opening, company and cuddles. I'm flexible and can usually accommodate your dog's normal routine, helping them feel settled and comfortable while they're with us. Your dog will be part of the pack in our home from home environment. Your dog's safety and wellbeing are my top priorities. We have a loving family home with three children—two teenagers and an eight-year-old who has grown up around animals and is always gentle and respectful. We also have two friendly, dog-tolerant cats, so any dogs staying with us will need to be comfortable around cats and children. Outside, we have a securely fenced area of the garden where dogs can safely enjoy time outdoors. In the summer, they have access to their own paddling pool. We also have a larger garden for exercise and play, although this area isn't fully escape-proof, so adventurous dogs with a talent for finding gaps may need to stay on a lead or enjoy the secure area instead. I always tailor each dog's access to outdoor spaces based on their personality and level of recall to keep them safe. I only accept dogs that I feel will be happy and comfortable in our home environment. This helps ensure a safe, relaxed and enjoyable experience for your dog, our family and our own pets. To determine this, we always like to have a visit from you and your dog to our home. We just want to be as sure as we can that everyone is going to be happy during their stay!
“We left Teddy with Lidia for two days while we attended a wedding. Lidia and her husband were very friendly and welcoming. He was well looked after, and we would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a lovely place for their dog to stay.”
“Laura and her family took a good care of Bagel for 6 days. Bagel really loves them as always. Laura updated me with photos and videos every day. I will no doubt trust and choose Laura again.”
“Using Rover for the first time we were a little anxious to say the least but Baz instantly put our minds at ease, having someone look after your dog who is so passionate and caring towards dogs really put our minds at ease. It was great getting updates from Baz during our boys stay, it made us smile knowing he was having the best time!! If you’re after someone who is caring, passionate and kind to look after your dog then look no further than Baz and his family!!”
“Olivia was wonderful. The pictures she took of Rowan about the house and when walking completely reassured us, and on our return Rowan looked to have had as good a break as we did. Thanks!”
“Wow what can I say. Angelika was so helpful from start to finish, Silva has never stayed with anyone else before and has had the best week, he's actually fuming we have now picked him up. He's been loved and looked after , walked , played with we have had regular contact and photos daily, we have all loved seeing his updates each day. Thankyou for everything we will be on touch very soon to book his next stay with you. ❤️”
