“Beth and Ross made me feel at ease, as soon as I dropped Snoop off. You can tell they are absolute dog lovers, and snoop took to them instantly. I received plenty of updates and pictures whilst I was away, and they seemed upset to see him go. I will 100% use them when I next need a dog sitter.”
“Lin is amazing. Dave loves her, is always excited to see her and he always comes back happy. I don’t worry leaving my furry mate with Lin in the slightest, allowing me and the missus to enjoy our time away. Can’t recommend her highly enough.”
“Charlize was so lovely and welcoming from the offset, taking the time to do a proper intro with Luna and I, to get to know her and her partner. Luna stayed with Charlize for 4 nights and looked like she had the best time! Charlize asked what level of communication I'd like and went photos across every day. 100% recommend Charlize and will be rebooking as soon as I need her again 😊”
“Just like to say what a great time cooper had playing with his new friends ralphie and mabel, milly and kayley treated him like their own which was so reassuring for us. We will definitely be going back the next time we go on a trip knowing what kind and compassionate people they are. Thank you so much again. See you soon Rik & Deb”
“An amazing sitter. My dog didn't want to come home he was treated so well! It can be difficult finding a sitter who accepts larger dogs and has the suitable environment for them but Katie's house and family were perfect for my GSD Boscoe.. He'd never stayed with any other people apart from ourselves and whilst he was nervous the first few nights, Katie and her family made him feel welcome and he settled really well thanks to them and enjoyed his 17 day stay. Highly, highly recommend Katie as a sitter.”
“I’ve had my 2 Border Collies (Colin & Belle) from puppies, now both 2 years 3 months old. These 2 nights at Catherine’s were their first ever time away from me. I was so nervous! However, I had absolutely no need to feel so apprehensive about it. When I picked Colin & Belle up, it was so clear how much they had enjoyed themselves & how much they loved Catherine! I’ve already booked their next visit to Catherine’s!. Thank you so much, Catherine for being so brilliant with my dogs & for putting my mind completely at ease!”
“Tickey had another very happy stay with Georgina and Stuart. She ran to their door when we arrived, very excited to see them again. We could see from the regular photos and updates that they were enjoying their time together. Tickey had brilliant walks and lots of attention and there is a bond between them. She settled back into home life with us with no problems at all. She is a dog with historical emotional issues and it is clear that Stuart and Georgina support her development and have helped to increase her confidence. We can't recommend them highly enough and will always book Tickey with them. We are grateful to have found them.”
“Fiona and her family have looked after my Shih Tzu for both day care and overnight stays and I'm hoping they will do so again on many occasions to come. I couldn't be more pleased with the care and attention they show. It's a great relief to know I can leave my dog in such good hands.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends, and family have long relied on me to check in, feed, and play with their pets. I truly love animals and prioritize giving them the same care and attention I would give my own. I am currently working part-time, so I have plenty of flexibility and dedicated time to play with, exercise, and closely supervise your dogs! I am fully available for overnight boarding on weekends. On weekdays, my schedule opens up completely after 2:00 PM, making me perfect for afternoon walks, playdates, and evening care. I can easily adapt to your pet's regular feeding and potty routines. I love making pets feel right at home, whether they are staying with me or in their own familiar space! I stick closely to their favorite routines, feeding times, and potty schedules so they feel safe and comfortable. You can expect lots of belly rubs, fun playtime, and plenty of cute photo updates while you are away!
“From our first meet and greet with Andrew and Nicky we felt confident that our dog Amber was in safe hands. She stayed with them for 6 nights and had the best time visiting family with them, staying over in a hotel, visiting pubs and even the garden centre. Our nervousness at how she would behave as she does have some anxiety issues around other dogs did not faze Andrew and Nicky, they are extremely compassionate and caring. Amber had a wonderful time and I only wish we had found them sooner!! Thank you both!🥰”
“Ruby had another wonderful stay with Karen and Trevor, she ran in as if it was her own home and was very settled when we collected her. I'm not sure she actually wanted you leave! We're so happy to have found Karen and Trevor who we know lavish so much love and care on Ruby when she stays...thankyou so much x”
“Thank you to Jamila and Martin for taking such care of Oatie, just like a home from home experience. We loved his picture updates and we could see just how spoilt he was ☺️ Oatie is definitely going to miss his new friend Teddy!”
“Maggie is always in safe hands with Rachel, she is cared for as she was her own dog, we get regular updates, photos and videos. Maggie is taken for long walks and gets along really well with Lister who is also a friendly dog, thank you again Rachel.”
“Keely was amazing! We contacted her at very short notice after being let down by someone else and she was amazing from the very first message. Communication throughout our puppy’s stay was good and he had a great time there! Will definitely be using again!”
“Alison looked after little pup for 5 nights while we had a pre Christmas break. And from the photos it looks like he had his own holiday. He had loads of cuddles, plenty of muddy walks (his favourite thing) and even some runs. Thank you very much for taking so such good care of Charlie. We will definitely be in touch again. Would 100% recommend Alison”
“From the first meet and greet with Christine And RAY I knew this was the right place for Charlie. They were fabulous they spoilt him like he was their own. We got daily photos videos and updates. I could see he was very happy, this is where Charlie will be going when we go on our next holiday 100%. Thank you both so very much for taking such good care of our little boy”

“I entrusted Pooh the cat to the care of this Zobia lady for about two weeks and I am fascinated by the care she took during all this time to ensure that he was well fed and given play and love. I give five stars with all my heart and recommend to anyone who needs care for their pet. Thanks Zobia ?”
“Solveig has been a wonderful sitter , Betty has been extremely well cared for , and settled so quickly. She has been treated with such care , attention , cuddles and treats and is now home relaxed and content. Solveig kept in contact with us throughout Betty’s stay and we received regular updates , photos and videos allowing us to relax and enjoy our holiday knowing that Betty was not only in safe hands but was very content and pampered! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Solveig to others looking for a reliable pet sitter. Thankyou”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care Andrew provided for our cat, Phoebe, while we were away. From the very beginning, Andrew was professional, kind, and incredibly attentive to Phoebe’s needs. He kept us updated with photos and messages, which gave us such peace of mind knowing Phoebe was in such caring hands. When we returned, Phoebe was calm, happy, and clearly well looked after — her litter was clean, food and water were fresh, and she even seemed to have enjoyed the extra playtime and cuddles. Andrew went above and beyond, and it made all the difference. We feel so lucky to have found such a reliable and genuinely caring sitter. We highly recommend Andrew to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their furry family members. Thank you again, Andrew — Phoebe can’t wait to see you next time!”
About: As a lifelong pet owner, I’ve loved and cared for both cats and dogs of all shapes and sizes. My current busy home includes a high-energy Sprocker Spaniel, two large rescue dogs, and two cats of my own—a mix that has taught me a wealth of patience and a deep understanding of animal behavior and co-existing temperaments. Because I work from home full-time (9–5) here in Rochdale, I can offer your pets constant companionship and a reliable routine. Whether I'm house sitting, popping in for cat feeding and litter duties, or heading out for a dog walk, your furry family members will receive the exact same dedicated, attentive care that I give my own
“Jo took the time to learn our kitty Mr G’s quirks, asked about his routine, and made a plan to keep him happy while we were away. She gave him love, attention, and sent us adorable updates. Friendly and approachable, Jo put us at ease from day one. You can’t go wrong hiring her - we’ll book again! ❤️🐾”
“Absolutely delighted with the service and care provided for my cat, Anita is a wonderful lady, very professional, sent updates and pics everyday 😻😊, will definitely be using her again. You can rest assured your cat will be very well cared for, thanks Anita ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Sam was great! Our kitties and house were in great hands. We got updates with pics and videos and never once worried about a thing. We will definitely be asking Sam back the next time we need some fur baby/house sitting.”
About: Hi! I'm a university graduate based in Greater Manchester. I have experience with different domestic animals, cats, dogs, rabbits, hamsters, parrots, and even some insects. I absolutely adore every animal I've cared for and have taken pride in providing a caring and enriching experience for each one. I love learning about each animal and their behaviour to provide them with a fun and comfortable environment whilst their loved ones are away. I have previously owned rabbits, stick insects, a hamster, and I currently have an American bully puppy. If you have a large dog I only require that they are well behaved on a lead.
About: Hi! I’ve always loved animals and really enjoy spending time with cats of all breeds, personalities, and temperaments. I understand that leaving your cat with someone else can be stressful, so I do everything I can to make sure both you and your cat feel comfortable and at ease. I treat every cat in my care as if they were my own and will make sure they receive plenty of attention, enrichment, playtime, and affection throughout their stay. Whether your cat is very social and playful or more independent and quiet, I’m happy to adapt to their routine and respect their space. I always assume every cat is an indoor cat unless stated otherwise, so I ensure a safe, secure indoor environment is maintained at all times. If your cat has specific outdoor access arrangements, just let me know and I’ll follow your instructions carefully. I am committed to providing a calm, loving, and comfortable environment where your cat can feel safe while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with regular photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is being well looked after. With new clients, I like to arrange a meet and greet before accepting a booking request to make sure everyone is comfortable and it’s the right fit. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend!

“Lin is so reliable, caring and communicative! Whether it's for 1 days care or a week's holiday abroad we get photos, communication, updates and a very happy doggy when we return. Only issue is he doesn't always want to come home......he loves her!”
“Gabbie had a great time and seemed relaxed instantly. With her being reactive and a nervous dog, it’s been hard to find people she gets along with and understand her needs. Stu and Georgina have loads of experience which is great when you don’t have the typical ‘friendly’ and ‘easy going’ dog.”

About: I’ve always loved animals and really enjoy spending time with dogs. We have a dog of our own, a 20-month-old German Shorthaired Pointer, so I’m very used to energetic dogs who need plenty of exercise, attention, and routine. I understand how important it is to feel confident that your dog is being properly looked after while you’re away. I’m happy to help with walks, feeding, playtime, cuddles, and keeping to your dog’s usual routine as much as possible. I’ll treat your dog with the same care and attention I give my own, and I’m always happy to send updates and photos so you know how they’re getting on. Pet care fits really naturally into my routine. I work from home, so I’m around during the day and able to give dogs plenty of company, attention, toilet breaks, and care. We also have our own 20-month-old German Shorthaired Pointer, so daily walks, feeding, playtime, and keeping a good routine are already part of everyday life for us. We especially love weekend walks with the dog, so I’m very used to active dogs who enjoy getting out, having a good run around, and then relaxing afterwards I know it’s a big deal trusting someone with your dog, so I’d always look after them like I do my own. At home, I’d make sure they’re safe, comfortable and kept to their usual routine as much as possible — walks, food, toilet breaks, sleeping arrangements and anything else they’re used to. We have a 20-month-old German Shorthaired Pointer, so I’m used to active dogs and would always make sure introductions are done slowly and carefully. We have a fenced garden and our dog crate trained too

“Andreia is absolutely wonderful! She looked after our dog, Toby, with so much care, attention, and affection. When we picked him up, it was like watching two old friends sitting together watching the sunset 🌅 they clearly bonded so well. You can instantly tell that Andreia is a genuine animal lover. She’s kind, trustworthy, and someone you can feel completely confident leaving your pet with. We’re so grateful to have found her and wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again!”
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs for as long as I can remember. Growing up with my aunt, who worked as a dog sitter in her retirement, I learned early on how to care for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I also spent six months volunteering at a dog training centre, where I helped with both puppies and older dogs — from basic obedience to confidence-building exercises. Over the years, I’ve dog-sat for friends and family, making sure every pet felt safe, loved, and at home while their owners were away. I genuinely love spending time with animals and treat every dog I look after like part of my own family. I currently work part time from home so I have plenty of time to play with your pups during the week! On certain weekends I am out of the house from 9am-5pm however we have a work from home family so there is always someone in the house to keep your pups occupied and give them toilet breaks! When caring for pets, I make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved — whether they’re in my home or their own. At my home, I have a secure fenced garden where dogs can enjoy supervised outdoor time. I also live very close to a fully fenced field, which is perfect for walks, playtime, and exercise. I have a friendly dog who loves meeting new furry friends and is great at keeping them company. I always follow each owner’s routine as closely as possible — including feeding schedules, walk times, and any special care instructions — to make sure every pet feels at home and well cared for.
About: I have over 16 years of experience caring for my own cat, who has been a part of my life since I was young. Taking care of her through every stage of her life — from a playful kitten to a senior cat — has taught me patience, responsibility, and how to respond to the changing needs of animals as they age. In addition to my own pet, I also regularly help friends take care of their dogs when they are away. I'm familiar with feeding routines, walking schedules, and providing companionship to ensure the pets feel safe and comfortable. These experiences have deepened my understanding of animal behavior and strengthened my commitment to providing attentive and compassionate care. I am working part-time as a teaching assistant, so l have a flexible schedule that allows me to care for pets on weekdays or weekends. I can care for pets in the owner's home and stay in close contact to provide updates. I do my best to follow the owner's schedule and instructions to ensure the pet receives the best possible care.
“Excellent communication before and during Murphy’s day with Kayley. Felt totally assured while he was there and got plenty of updates! Looks like he had a gorgeous time and I will definitely re-book in the future!”

Alison is extremely easy to communicate with, sends lots of lovely pictures and updates via the Rover app and has been flexible with us around timings we drop him off and pick him up. Tank was super excited to go back to Alison’s on the second day which made me and my partner feel really happy about him being there.

For walks and drop-in visits, I am fully available before 9:00 AM and can easily accommodate short-notice requests during the day thanks to my highly flexible lunch hour. I am also fully mobile with my own vehicle on weekends, meaning I can easily travel a bit further for house sitting, accommodate last-minute weekend requests, or safely transport your pet if needed Safety and peace of mind are my top priorities. Running a multi-pet home with a spaniel, two large rescues, and two cats has made me highly vigilant about animal body language, group dynamics, and secure environments.

PROMPT RESPONSES Pet care fits well into my weekly routine as I currently have a flexible schedule. I am due to graduate from university at the end of July and am on a zero-hour contract with a real estate firm, where I am typically booked in on Tuesdays and Thursdays, with additional days depending on workload and auction schedules.

I aim to create a calm and stable environment so they feel relaxed while their owner is away. Above all, I treat every pet as if they were my own and every home with care and respect, ensuring owners can feel confident and at ease throughout the booking.
About: I have a Maltipoo puppy called Ralph, who I have raised since he was 8 weeks old. Caring for Ralph has given me valuable experience with feeding, walking, training, socialisation, maintaining routines and understanding a dog’s individual needs. I know how important consistency, patience and positive reinforcement are in helping dogs feel happy and secure. Before Ralph, I also cared for my family rescue dog for 8 years, giving me experience with dogs of different ages, personalities and backgrounds. Through both dogs, I have developed a strong understanding of responsible pet ownership and the importance of providing loving, attentive care. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision, and I will always treat every dog as if they were my own. I am reliable, caring and attentive, and I am happy to provide regular updates and photos so owners can have complete peace of mind while they are away. I work from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide reliable and attentive pet care throughout the day.

I understand how important routine and consistency are for pets, and I will always ensure they feel comfortable, safe and well cared for while you’re away. Regular updates and photos can also be provided for extra peace of mind. Your pet’s safety, comfort and happiness will always be my priority. During walks, I will ensure dogs are kept secure on their lead unless instructed otherwise and it is safe to do so. I will always follow the owner’s instructions regarding routes, routines, feeding and any specific needs their pet may have. For drop-in visits, I will make sure your pet has fresh water, food if required, plenty of attention and playtime, and the opportunity to go outside where appropriate. I understand how important trust is when caring for someone else’s pet and home, and I will always treat both with respect and care. Regular updates and photos can be provided so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well looked after.

For both regular walks, and one off services. I can be flexible to suit your needs! I offer pet sitting in the pets home. I am available for drop in visits and overnight sits.

About: Hi! I'm a 25 year old university graduate based in Greater Manchester. I have experience with different domestic animals, cats, dogs, rabbits, hamsters, parrots, and even some insects. I absolutely adore every animal I've cared for and have taken pride in providing a caring and enriching experience for each one. I love learning about each animal and their behaviour to provide them with a fun and comfortable environment whilst their loved ones are away. I have previously owned rabbits, stick insects, a hamster, and I currently have an American bully puppy who is a family pet and does not accompany me on sits. If you have a large dog I only require that they are well behaved on a lead. I’m currently quite flexible and will be focussed on caring for your pets during my time with them, including lots of play time and attention. I like to stick to your pets usual schedule so they experience the least amount of disruption possible. So just let me know what their usual day looks like. I will always look after your home, water plants, take bins out and anything else you may need whilst I’m caring for your pet. I’ll provide as many updates and photos as you’d like to reassure you that your pets are in great hands.
About: With over six years of hands-on experience working on a petting farm from the age of 14 to 20, I’ve cared for a wide range of animals — from livestock to a variety of dog breeds. Growing up in a dog-loving home, especially with high-energy breeds like collies, has given me a deep understanding of canine behaviour, needs, and personalities. Whether it’s providing calm companionship or active playtime, I’m confident handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I work full time as a teacher but I am free most weekends and evenings! This also means I’m off during school holidays all day so can cater for all pet needs in that time! I have a fenced yard with a border collie. Our home is dog and pet friendly! We live close to good walks for all the doggy walking needs!
“Leah has been wonderful with Scooby. I could tell when they initially met that she is a real dog person who will always put a dogs best interest first, and Scooby absolutely loved her so that was a great sign 😊 Thanks for taking such good care of him”
“Rachel communicated perfectly regarding the booked walk, she let me know how Maggie was and sent me a couple of pictures during. Maggie was happy to see Rachel and Lister as always and she was very well looked after.”
About: I have often cared for doggies and cats of many kinds, for neighbours so walking, feeding, bathing and caring for them is something I have always enjoyed within my life. I am also looking to expand my experiences with different pets, and make more memories. I am currently a university student, at The University of Central Lancashire. I always have plenty of time to care for pets in the evenings, whether that be walking or caring for them for a set period of time. I am able to take on roles and accommodate them across Greater Manchester, due to having a student dorm in Preston and then my family home in Heywood. Although not having a pet myself currently, I did have a Yorkshire terrier who has unfortunately passed. Benji will always hold a place in my heart. My home and neighbourhood is very pet friendly. My home is large, with plenty space for pets to explore and not only my garden but many fields across the road where the pet may play.
About: Hi, I’m Amy. Alongside my partner I have owned and run my own dog walking business Barking Pad for the past 5 years, both in the UK and over in sunny Australia! From Chihuahuas to Great Danes, Staffies to German Shepards, we’ve cared for them all - each one as much an adventure as the next. I am fully insured by Pet Business Insurance, which covers Public Liability, Loss of Keys, Animal Illness and Care Custody of up to 6 dogs per walk. Along with a cleared DBS check, I also have an OFQUAL Level 3 qualification in Canine First Aid and Emergency First Aid training, with having attended the Rachel Bean First Aid course. You’ll receive texts and photos with updates, and can even follow along on our social media pages too! A typical day will always start and end with lots of cuddles, with plenty of adventure in between! For dogs that love to make friends we have a lovely group of doggies just waiting to play with, and for those that enjoy their own space we always prioritise a nice solo adventure with lots to sniff and see. I always make sure to get as much detail from our owners as possible, to ensure their pets are as safe and happy as can be. With updates and pictures throughout their time to give owners full peace of mind.
About: ***PLEASE READ: I also offer pet care services for small animals such as rats, hamsters, rabbits etc at a cost of £10 per enclosure. (E.g if there's several animals per enclosure it'll be a flat rate for all combined.). Free roam animals are also included in the flat rate. ***Please ensure any dogs coming to my home are up to date on any flea/worm treatments and vaccines.*** Hey there! My name is Holly and I live locally in Radcliffe with my mum who also love animals. I'm a huge animal lover, who adores all furry creatures. I've always felt an affinity with animals ever since I was a child and I have had lifelong experience with my own pets. I have also volunteered at a doggy daycare so I have plenty of experience. I have been doing Rover for three years, and pet sitting long before Rover existed. Our own dog Lucy sadly passed away in 2017 and we haven't had the pleasure of having our own baby since, so we like to put all that love and care into looking after other people's companions. I am experienced with senior dogs/cats and can administer medication if need be, as our poor girl needed a lot of care in her old age. I am also fully insured and covered for things such as accidents, illness, injuries and property/possession damage. I am passionate about animals and my love for them means I will do my utmost to ensure your fur baby is always in the best hands. I strive to consistently go above and beyond for you and your loyal companion and always treat your pets as though they were my own, which means lots of cuddles, treats and love. I understand the importance of trust and security and can assure you that your fur babies are in the best hands. If necessary, I can provide enrichment activities for anxious dogs, we have licky mats, and I can on request provide extra things if necessary, all designed to soothe an anxious dog. We also have plenty of toys and blankets for your dogs comfort. It'll be their home away from home! All dog related paraphernalia are thourgougly cleaned and disinfected daily. I live in a house with a fenced garden, so your dogs can have a potter whenever they want in a safe and secure environment, and live close to many beautiful walking areas and woodland which I'm sure the doggies will love and enjoy. They will be on their own little holiday! I am at home mostly all the time and I can therefore offer a lot of flexibility if necessary. I am available 7 days a week, but please ensure sufficient availability as sometimes the rover calendar doesn't reflect this due to glitches. My daycare hours for doggy daycare are 8:30am-6:30pm If you have read this far thank you! I appreciate your time. I hope to hear from you and your fur baby! As I work from home, I'm adaptable and therefore offer several services including house sitting/drop-ins for all kinds of species, walks and doggy daycare too. Whether I'm house sitting or boarding your pets at my own home, I will ensure to do whatever is necessary to maintain your pet's routine, including any medication, dietary requirements, emotional or physical triggers, sleeping arrangements, toilet needs, etc. My absolute favourite thing is drop ins, as I can then care for your babies in their home environment, and knowing I'm making a difference to their day is so rewarding! Whether it's dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters or even less conventional animals please get in touch and we can discuss your specific care needs. Our house is secure and we have a garden which is fenced. We do allow dogs on all furniture as I see them as part of the family. I am also willing to use a crate if that's what your dog would prefer but I'm more than happy to snuggle up with them. When I do drop ins and house sits, I will wholly respect your home and space and leave it exactly how I found it, and ensure to follow any and all care planes outlined by you so you can enjoy your time away stress free. I can also water your plants if need be or any other odds and ends that may need attending to whilst you are gone.
About: A loving family home with years of pet care experience, I have two lovely children who will make your pets feel at home. Also nice garden and plenty of walking routes nearby I can easily fit dog sitting into my routine because of my flexible work schedule and the fact that my partner works from home full-time. I work at the airport on a rotating 5 days on, 3 days off schedule, with shifts from either 4:30 am–1:30 pm or 12:30 pm–9:30 pm. This means I’m always home early in the day or have the whole morning free, giving me plenty of time to care for a dog. On top of that, my partner is always home during the day, so the dog would never be left unattended. Between my early finishes, days off, and our consistent presence at home, we can provide a reliable, structured, and loving environment for a dog. I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and absolutely love being around them. Having a dog’s company in my home is something I truly enjoy, and I believe it’s a much more comfortable and reassuring option than kennels. My home has a large, secure back garden where dogs can happily roam in and out as they please, and I’m also perfectly placed for walks—living right across from a park and just five minutes from Heaton Park. With so much space and plenty of opportunity for exercise, dogs in my care are guaranteed both comfort and adventure.

“Beth and Ross made me feel at ease, as soon as I dropped Snoop off. You can tell they are absolute dog lovers, and snoop took to them instantly. I received plenty of updates and pictures whilst I was away, and they seemed upset to see him go. I will 100% use them when I next need a dog sitter.”
“Charlize was so lovely and welcoming from the offset, taking the time to do a proper intro with Luna and I, to get to know her and her partner. Luna stayed with Charlize for 4 nights and looked like she had the best time! Charlize asked what level of communication I'd like and went photos across every day. 100% recommend Charlize and will be rebooking as soon as I need her again 😊”
“Just like to say what a great time cooper had playing with his new friends ralphie and mabel, milly and kayley treated him like their own which was so reassuring for us. We will definitely be going back the next time we go on a trip knowing what kind and compassionate people they are. Thank you so much again. See you soon Rik & Deb”
“An amazing sitter. My dog didn't want to come home he was treated so well! It can be difficult finding a sitter who accepts larger dogs and has the suitable environment for them but Katie's house and family were perfect for my GSD Boscoe.. He'd never stayed with any other people apart from ourselves and whilst he was nervous the first few nights, Katie and her family made him feel welcome and he settled really well thanks to them and enjoyed his 17 day stay. Highly, highly recommend Katie as a sitter.”
“I’ve had my 2 Border Collies (Colin & Belle) from puppies, now both 2 years 3 months old. These 2 nights at Catherine’s were their first ever time away from me. I was so nervous! However, I had absolutely no need to feel so apprehensive about it. When I picked Colin & Belle up, it was so clear how much they had enjoyed themselves & how much they loved Catherine! I’ve already booked their next visit to Catherine’s!. Thank you so much, Catherine for being so brilliant with my dogs & for putting my mind completely at ease!”
“Tickey had another very happy stay with Georgina and Stuart. She ran to their door when we arrived, very excited to see them again. We could see from the regular photos and updates that they were enjoying their time together. Tickey had brilliant walks and lots of attention and there is a bond between them. She settled back into home life with us with no problems at all. She is a dog with historical emotional issues and it is clear that Stuart and Georgina support her development and have helped to increase her confidence. We can't recommend them highly enough and will always book Tickey with them. We are grateful to have found them.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends, and family have long relied on me to check in, feed, and play with their pets. I truly love animals and prioritize giving them the same care and attention I would give my own. I am currently working part-time, so I have plenty of flexibility and dedicated time to play with, exercise, and closely supervise your dogs! I am fully available for overnight boarding on weekends. On weekdays, my schedule opens up completely after 2:00 PM, making me perfect for afternoon walks, playdates, and evening care. I can easily adapt to your pet's regular feeding and potty routines. I love making pets feel right at home, whether they are staying with me or in their own familiar space! I stick closely to their favorite routines, feeding times, and potty schedules so they feel safe and comfortable. You can expect lots of belly rubs, fun playtime, and plenty of cute photo updates while you are away!
“From our first meet and greet with Andrew and Nicky we felt confident that our dog Amber was in safe hands. She stayed with them for 6 nights and had the best time visiting family with them, staying over in a hotel, visiting pubs and even the garden centre. Our nervousness at how she would behave as she does have some anxiety issues around other dogs did not faze Andrew and Nicky, they are extremely compassionate and caring. Amber had a wonderful time and I only wish we had found them sooner!! Thank you both!🥰”
“Ruby had another wonderful stay with Karen and Trevor, she ran in as if it was her own home and was very settled when we collected her. I'm not sure she actually wanted you leave! We're so happy to have found Karen and Trevor who we know lavish so much love and care on Ruby when she stays...thankyou so much x”
“Thank you to Jamila and Martin for taking such care of Oatie, just like a home from home experience. We loved his picture updates and we could see just how spoilt he was ☺️ Oatie is definitely going to miss his new friend Teddy!”
“Keely was amazing! We contacted her at very short notice after being let down by someone else and she was amazing from the very first message. Communication throughout our puppy’s stay was good and he had a great time there! Will definitely be using again!”
“Alison looked after little pup for 5 nights while we had a pre Christmas break. And from the photos it looks like he had his own holiday. He had loads of cuddles, plenty of muddy walks (his favourite thing) and even some runs. Thank you very much for taking so such good care of Charlie. We will definitely be in touch again. Would 100% recommend Alison”
“From the first meet and greet with Christine And RAY I knew this was the right place for Charlie. They were fabulous they spoilt him like he was their own. We got daily photos videos and updates. I could see he was very happy, this is where Charlie will be going when we go on our next holiday 100%. Thank you both so very much for taking such good care of our little boy”
About: I’ve always loved animals and really enjoy spending time with dogs. We have a dog of our own, a 20-month-old German Shorthaired Pointer, so I’m very used to energetic dogs who need plenty of exercise, attention, and routine. I understand how important it is to feel confident that your dog is being properly looked after while you’re away. I’m happy to help with walks, feeding, playtime, cuddles, and keeping to your dog’s usual routine as much as possible. I’ll treat your dog with the same care and attention I give my own, and I’m always happy to send updates and photos so you know how they’re getting on. Pet care fits really naturally into my routine. I work from home, so I’m around during the day and able to give dogs plenty of company, attention, toilet breaks, and care. We also have our own 20-month-old German Shorthaired Pointer, so daily walks, feeding, playtime, and keeping a good routine are already part of everyday life for us. We especially love weekend walks with the dog, so I’m very used to active dogs who enjoy getting out, having a good run around, and then relaxing afterwards I know it’s a big deal trusting someone with your dog, so I’d always look after them like I do my own. At home, I’d make sure they’re safe, comfortable and kept to their usual routine as much as possible — walks, food, toilet breaks, sleeping arrangements and anything else they’re used to. We have a 20-month-old German Shorthaired Pointer, so I’m used to active dogs and would always make sure introductions are done slowly and carefully. We have a fenced garden and our dog crate trained too
“Mark was so great with dolly! He was able to take her with only a couple weeks notice after our previous sitter had to cancel. He was really quick to reply to messages, and sent loads of adorable updates while we were away! Dolly was so well looked after and he took her on loads of great long walks. Will definitely book again in future :)”
“Mus took time to understand Hazel and make sure she understood her routine before we left her. Hazel had a great holiday! Mus obviously knows and understands dogs. We left Hazel with Mus for a week whilst we went on holiday and Mus sent us daily photos and videos to reassure us that all was well.”
