“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.”
“Amanda and John are amazing. They looked after my Lacy while we were on holiday and my mind was completely at ease knowing they were caring for her. I recommend Amanda and John 100%, they cared for Lacy like she was their own and she came home being very spoilt ?”
“Very friendly and welcoming towards our 3 year-old Golden Labrador. He has clearly been well looked after and is the same relaxed, happy dog when we picked him up after 5 days, which is probably the best indicator of a successful stay.”
“Lin was absolutely fantastic looking after Max. Before Max's stay, she arranged a free meet and great, and asked all about Max's routines. During Max's stay, Lin sent regular photos and updates, and we could see that Max was having the best time. Thank you Lin!”
“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”
About: I’m a registered veterinary nurse and have worked with animals since I was 15. I love walking with my boyfriend’s two cocker spaniels Maggie and Billie and currently have a cat I rescued called Martha. I currently have a few pets on my books that need special care and giving medications too and love looking after any senior dogs and cats. My schedule is flexible and my mum also helps out with pet sitting care when needed. I work shifts but as long as I have notice I’m happy to walk/house sit any days of the week currently as my work can be flexible. Our house is pet friendly and we have quite a large garden that’s all fenced off. We also live with field access outside our home which helps when taking them out for walks
“Catherine and her husband cared for Lottie like she was there own , she was very helpful as to get her settled and Lottie came back happy and healthy and very tired which is always a good thing 😁. Would definitely use her again”
“Amazing couple! We were nervous about leaving our girl Luna but she had a great time! We felt at ease during our meet and greet and were sent lots pictures during her first night stay and she looked very hapy and settled. Thank you so much and I'm sure Luna will be happy to see you again!”
“After the meet and greet we could see that Bella would feel at home with Rachel and Lister. And was sent photos and updates would highly recommend and will use again in the future.”
“I would highly recommend Mark with regards to looking after your fur baby mark is very friendly you can tell tell your dog would be safe with Mark Rupert was treated like he would be at home it was like home from home experience for Rupert and came back a very happy dog would like to thank Mark so much for giving Rupert the care he is used to”
“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!🥰”
“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.”
About: I’ve always been around dogs, either having my own, family pets or my spare time volunteering at a dog shelter. For the last 2 years, I’ve spent every Saturday cleaning kennels and walking dogs for Cheshire Dogs Home. This means I am well skilled in dealing with tricky dogs too. I now have adopted two cocker spaniels (mum and daughter) from Cheshire Dogs Home that I live alone with. I predominantly work from home and would ensure that I did when I had your dog. My girls absolutely love other dogs and always want to play with them. They love going out for long walks, I live near a country park which is very convenient. I would love to help others out in the hopes of building my own support network too. I work full time from home but this allows me to adapt to a dogs needs as it’s flexible. I currently wake between 6-7am every day with mine and will take them out if it’s hot or will work downstairs (or upstairs in my office where they are welcome) until taking them out at midday if the weather is normal. After work, we relax and have cuddles on the settee as well as a few games to challenge the spaniel brain I have a fenced garden and two girls that absolutely love other dogs and would love yours. They have free roam of downstairs and the garden at all time with supervised access to my office upstairs.
“Brilliant couple who were absolutely fantastic with Nala! Super accommodating, friendly and we knew our dog was loved from the get go! Thank you Ryan + Shannon for looking after Nala ❤️”
About: We have a 3 year old cocker spaniel Teddy who we’ve raised since a pup he’s the most loving boy and so so playful just looking for others to join us on walks play dates or playing in the garden! I currently work full time but do 3 days from home! Our boy gets walked 3 times a day and so would yours! We love to go out and enjoy sunrise or sunset walks. I have a fenced garden for the dogs to play in, Teddy will be happy to play and keep them company all day! We allow dogs inside, on furniture and upstairs in our home!
“Bernard was loved and cared for like he was their own. The updates and comms were fab and we felt at ease knowing Bernard was enjoying his time as much as we were on holiday. Thanks so much!!! We will definitely be booking again.”
“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 is amazing! There was a issue on my end with drop off time in which she was greatly accommodating and responsive. My Boy sometimes gets separation anxiety, but Alison made both me and Hunter reassured and she delt with him superbly. Hunter enjoyed lots of cuddles from all their family l, lots of walks and runs, and came home a happy boy. Thankyou Alison we would definitely book again!”

“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!”
“Thank you so much Freya for taking care of Orca and Finn while I was away. I would definitely book Freya again. Communication was great and she was very caring to my cats.”
“Zobia was able to provide exceptional care and attention to my cats, going above and beyond what I expected. Her communication was excellent, keeping me up-to-date with my cats behaviour while I was away. I could tell my boys were well cared for in her hands. I would highly recommend Zobia to anyone looking for reliable and loving care for their pets.”
About: I've owned cats from a very early age. My friends and neighbours have relied on me to look after their fur babies wether for a short weekend or pop-ins. To feed, clean litter tray and play.
“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”
“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 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Cannot recommend Charlotte more!! Zara loves her and probably the visits are the highlight of her week. Charlotte is patient and understanding of Zara’s need and keeps us updated with regular pictures throughout.”
About: I live a cat now and always have. Right now it's a Toyger called Tilly. Because I work from home, drop-in visits fit around my day and I can do two or three shorter visits rather than one rushed one. I'll keep your cat's routine exactly as it is, same feeding times, same food, same litter setup and send photos each visit so you can see they're fine. Happy to give oral or topical medication, look after older cats who need a slower pace, and take things gently with cats who hide from anyone new.
“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! ❤️🐾”
About: Hi, I’m Louisa a 26 year old homeware designer by day and cat mum to Pep and Isla my British Short hair kitties! I have always had furry friends around me from a young age and currently mum to a 2 yr old Pep and 1 year old Isla. New to the area me and my partner got the cats to make our house a home so I understand the importance of looking after your fur baby whilst you’re away making them and you as comfortable as possible.
About: I’m a registered veterinary nurse still in practice. I’m happy to administer medications and I’m experienced with all breeds of cats and their needs. I’m happy to cater each visit to each individual pet.
“Yonja was wonderful. She was attentive and considerate, and developed a lovely relationship with our cat. She visited first to meet us and was flexible with our requests. I would highly recommend as she has a real love for cats which is clear when you meet her. She gave a lot of time and attention to our kitty whilst we were away.”
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!
About: I have fallen in love with cats from a very young age and I recently have helped a cut with a burning process and I now have one of the kittens as a pet. She is called Oreo. I love cats in general always pet whenever I can.

About: Hi There , My name is Vitoria, I’ve had pets my entire life and for the past three years, I’ve started caring for others in addition to my own. I have experience caring for dogs with special needs, and of all different sizes and breeds. Im currently working part time, so I’ll have planta of time to Play with your pups! I’m available during the week in the mornings and sometimes in the evening and always available on the weekends. I take care about food, water, I clean, organise the environment, making sure they feel comfortable and happy when their owner is not around. Friendly pet
About: I have grown up with all kinds of animals from fish, cats, dogs and horses. True animal lover. I have my own pooch who to me is like a child, very spoilt and cared for. I'm now retired and have plenty of time to help fur mummy's or daddy's go to work without worrying about leaving their fur babies for long periods of time. I'm a trustworthy person who will help keep your pet active and comfortable throughout the day 🙂 I'm retired plenty of time to help others get on with their own work or to enjoy free time to do something they like doing best. I have a fenced garden with grassed areas surrounding my home. We go the park lots and the beach when possible. My dog Alfie is very sociable and will mix with other small dogs. He has the run of our home and will sleep on my bed or my lap. He loves his treats and squeaky toys and zoomies!!
About: While I didn’t grow up with dogs in my house, I’ve spent years dog sitting and looking after friends’ and family’s dogs whenever they go away, including regularly caring for my cousin’s dog. Because I work for myself from home, I’m able to be around throughout the day rather than being out for hours on end, which means plenty of companionship, regular toilet breaks, walks, playtime & lots of affection. I know every pet is different, so I’ll always follow your routine and any specific instructions to help them feel comfortable and settled. I’ll treat every dog as if they were my own and keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you can have complete peace of mind while you’re away. I work for myself from home, so pet care fits naturally around my day rather than being squeezed into a couple of spare hours. I’m around throughout the day to provide company, regular toilet breaks, walks, feeding & playtime and I’m flexible with drop offs and collections where possible. Because I’m self employed, your dog will rarely be left alone and can slot straight into their usual routine. I provide a calm, safe & loving environment where your dog’s wellbeing always comes first. As I work from home, I can supervise them throughout the day, stick to their usual routine & give them plenty of attention. I’ll follow all your instructions carefully, including feeding, walks, medication, and any special requirements, and I’ll send regular updates and photos so you can enjoy complete peace of mind while you’re away.
“Lin's communication was great from start to finish! Albie seemed to have a great time and looked very comfortable in all the videos and pictures Lin took of him. I will be happy to book Albie in again”
“Jamila was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. Rodney was really well looked after and the opportunity to play with other dogs. We were provided with lots of lovely photos and videos throughout the two days. Would 100% recommend and will definitely be sending Rodney to stay again 😀”
“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.”
“David looked after my dog for a few days whilst I was on a course. Great experience beginning to end, kept me updated with pictures & messages, he’s a really friendly and genuine person who takes the time to get to know you & your pet. Would recommend!”

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

I can't wait to meet your furry best friend! I currently part-time working around 20-30 hours spread out across the week. I always have lots of free time where I can love your animals, make sure they are relaxed, fed and happy. I will ensure your animals are fed around their schedule, taken on walks suited for their needs, let out regularly for a bathroom break and well loved for the entire stay. As a dog lover myself, they will receive lots of attention and cuddles if they want them. I can adjust to a dogs different needs as I know all dogs are different and they will be receiving the requirements they want and need.

About: Hi, I’m Jake and am new to Rover! From my time looking after friends and families pets and homes consistently for around 2 years, I have developed an affinity for caring for animals and am now interested in branching out to care for others during my remote working schedule. As I currently don’t have a rating on here, I kindly ask that you take time to check out my testimonials 🙂 I work a hybrid job, attending the office only part of the week, the rest of my time is spent remote working, allowing me to spend all day caring for pets. When caring for pets in their own home, I make it my priority to keep your pets comfortable by maintaining their normal routine. When following feeding, exercise and care instructions from owners, I can ensure that your pets are safe and secure whilst away. During housesitting, homes are treated with respect, keeping the place clean and secure and providing regular updates.
About: I've grown up around animals and have had pets in the house for as long as I can remember, so looking after someone else's dog or cat feels completely natural to me rather than like a job. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits for feeding, fresh water, litter trays and a bit of company, and overnight or house sitting when you're away. I work from home, which means I'm around during the day and pets in my care aren't left on their own for hours at a time. It also makes me genuinely flexible. I can take early mornings, evenings, weekends and short-notice bookings that other sitters often can't. What you can expect from me: I turn up when I say I will, I stick to your pet's normal routine rather than imposing my own, and I'll send photo updates so you can see how they're getting on. Happy to give medication, handle nervous or older animals gently, and take as long as you need over a meet-and-greet first so both you and your pet are comfortable before anything is booked. I work from home, so pet care fits into my day rather than around it. I can do early morning, midday and evening visits without rushing between them, and I'm available weekdays and weekends including short notice, the bookings people with fixed office hours have to turn down. For house sitting I stay at your place for the whole booking, so your pet keeps their normal routine, sleeps in their own bed and isn't left alone overnight. I'll agree exact visit times with you in advance and stick to them. I look after pets in your home only, I don't board animals at mine. That's deliberate: your pet never has to settle into a strange house or meet unfamiliar animals, which takes a lot of the stress out of you going away. In your home I follow your setup exactly: same feeding routine, same food, same rules about which rooms they're allowed in, doors locked and windows shut every time I leave. I'll ask you to walk me through it all at the meet-and-greet and I write it down rather than trusting my memory. Dogs go out on lead and harness unless you've told me otherwise. I treat your keys and alarm code as confidential and never share your address. You'll get a photo and a short update after every visit, so you always know what's happened. If anything concerns me, off their food, limping, just not themselves I'll tell you straight away and I'll have your vet's details to hand.

About: Hi my name is Martyna and I live in Greater Manchester, Rochdale. My family has a little teddy bear Pomeranian named Ruby for the last 8 years and I lover her SO much. When I was at University I would make my sister send me pictures and video updates on her. I've always loved animals and enjoy spending time with dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I understand that leaving your pet with someone else can be stressful, so I do everything I can to make sure both you and your pet to feel comfortable and at ease. I treat every dog in my care as if they were my own and will make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and cuddles throughout their stay. Whether your dog loves being active or prefers a quieter environment, I'm happy to accommodate their needs and routine. I am committed to providing a safe, loving, and comfortable environment where your dog can feel at home while you're away. I will also keep you updated with 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 a good fit. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend! 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. Outside of this, I work from home, which gives me a lot of flexibility to provide consistent care, visits, and attention throughout the week. My routine is generally adaptable, so I can plan pet care around existing commitments to ensure I am reliable and punctual. Because of this flexibility, I am able to offer a good level of availability during weekdays and can accommodate regular routines, feeding schedules, and any specific care needs. I prioritise safety, trust, and consistency in both my own home and the owner’s home. I always follow the pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding, exercise, playtime, and any specific care instructions provided. When caring in a client’s home, I am respectful, tidy, and mindful that I am in their pet’s familiar environment. I make sure all doors, windows, and access points are secure before leaving, and I pay close attention to keeping pets safe and comfortable at all times. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality and needs, whether they are more independent or require extra attention and reassurance. 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.
“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”
About: I have had two pet dogs myself so your dogs care is my priority I don't see them anything less than what they are. Family. I adore dogs and would love opportunities to see various breeds and sizes. My experience includes care of Two Labradors, a German shepherd, a husky mix, a mastiff crossbreed, a shih tzu, a springer spaniel and I've had interactions with various breeds of puppy. My own pet had diabetes therefore I have experience handling medications and injections if that is a service you would require. I'm currently undertaking a dog training qualification to become a certified dog trainer. Being around dogs and caring for them comes second nature to me and I have always been told I have a way with them. Therefore you can trust completely that under my care they'll be nothing but loved and safe. I seeking a career working with dogs. So therefore I can dedicate my time to fit around your schedule and build up a relationship and clientship. I have no pets currently so you can be rest assured that your pet has all the attention they could ever need. I'll carry out on-boarding checks before handling any of your pets. Like medication, temperament, care needs, socialisation and aptitude. I won't do anything that you do not wish for your pet.
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!
About: Hi! I'm Toni, I'm 28, and like many others here I'm known for my love of animals. I have a lot of personal experience with caring for animals - we've always had animals in our household ever since I was a baby, and I'm often called upon to see to my neighbour's ever-expanding fur family when she's away. I have a ten year old Alsatian named Marshall and three adorable cats called Kevin (6), Keith (6) and Crystal (18). All my fur babies are full of life, energetic and love to keep me on my toes. Caring for them is an absolute blessing and it has encouraged me to start working towards a career in animal care. I'm a full-time support worker, but work flexible hours and days, and also complete my work alongside my business partner Brian, so between the two of us we can be completely flexible and will accommodate yours and your fur baby's needs as much as possible. I'm more than happy to keep you updated and send regular pictures! I know how difficult it can be being away from them! I work shifts as a support worker, however I also work alongside my business partner, Brian, so between the two of us we can be completely flexible for your needs. I will accommodate any requests for caring for your pet within your home. All rules and regulations will be followed to ensure your pet gets the best support and care.
About: I have been pet sitting on Rover for over 4 years and have experience caring for cats of all breeds, ages and personalities. I currently maintain a 5-star review rating and always aim to provide a calm, reliable and caring service. As a cat owner myself, I understand how important routines, patience and trust are for both pets and owners. I am experienced with feeding routines, playtime, administering basic medication, caring for nervous or shy cats, and providing regular updates and photos for peace of mind while you are away. I will provide your pet with the best care and shower them with the attention that they deserve. I work as a teacher, therefore I’m available weekdays and weekends in the holidays. I will be home in the daytime and able to care for your pets and give them the much needed attention they deserve. Term time I am available weekends and home during the day. I have a fenced garden property. I have four cats of my own to keep your pet company. I can keep my own cats separately from your pet if preferred. I do have a dog she is a Toy poodle, who gets on very well with my cats. However I will keep her separate from your pets so they are feel safe and comfortable.
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.”
“Very friendly and welcoming towards our 3 year-old Golden Labrador. He has clearly been well looked after and is the same relaxed, happy dog when we picked him up after 5 days, which is probably the best indicator of a successful stay.”
“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”

“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!🥰”
“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.”
“Brilliant couple who were absolutely fantastic with Nala! Super accommodating, friendly and we knew our dog was loved from the get go! Thank you Ryan + Shannon for looking after Nala ❤️”
“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 is amazing! There was a issue on my end with drop off time in which she was greatly accommodating and responsive. My Boy sometimes gets separation anxiety, but Alison made both me and Hunter reassured and she delt with him superbly. Hunter enjoyed lots of cuddles from all their family l, lots of walks and runs, and came home a happy boy. Thankyou Alison we would definitely book again!”
“Jade and her partner Mark kindly looked after our dog Pablo and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! She kept us updated throughout his stay, sending lots of photos and videos which gave us such peace of mind. It was clear that Pablo was happy, comfortable, and getting plenty of love and attention. Jade is reliable, caring, and went above and beyond to make sure Pablo was well looked after. Jade and mark even managed to give Pablo his tablets without any fuss! We wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog minder.”
