“Rachel was fantastic with Stevie! Met us beforehand last minute to put us at ease about leaving her, sent regular updates and lots of great photos and we could tell she put time and effort into playing with Stevie and getting to know her and she definitely knows her stuff when it comes to dogs. Stevie also made a new friend in Bowie! We would 100% recommend and leave Stevie with Rachel again. 5 ⭐️”
“It was Lola first stay with Jodi and she loved it. Jodi made Lola feel at home from when she arrived to when we picked her up. Lola is a high energy dog and Jodi took her to the dog paddock so she could have a good run off lead. Jodi sent us updates and photos each day while Lola was there. Would highly recommend her services.”
“Ziggy had a wonderful time with Christine and her lovely son. He settled quickly and loved having a little buddy to play with. I received updates, photos and videos on him enjoying walks and playing fetch in the garden. He was extremely relaxed and happy when I picked him up, and I hope he can stay again.”
“Louie was amazing with my little Frenchie, Louie and his lovely family made Lenny part of the family, they kept to lennys sleeping pattern which made lenny more relaxed. I will definitely will be using Louie again.”
“We couldn’t have wished for a better, more caring minder for our dog Ozzy than Charlotte and her family that made their home his when he stayed for the weekend. Ozzy is already looking forward to his next visit. Thank you”
“Emily was beyond amazing with looking after topaz. Topaz was able to settle almost immediately, and I know for a fact that she was well taken care of. I was updated regularly. Would highly recommend her for looking after your fur baby.”
“Absolutely incredible, not only does she take incredible care of your dog and treats them as her own, she also offers pick ups and drop offs for an additional charge which is extremely handy. I got sent a tonne of pictures and videos throughout my dogs stay and he looked incredibly happy. Despite max never have been away from me before overnight he settled extremely well. Would highly recommend and thank you again, Max will definitely miss you and his new furry friend 🐾”
“What can I say, this by far is one of the best home stays Rio has had! Bruna and her family have been fantastic from the moment I made contact with them. From the very first conversation we had I knew Bruna was the right fit for Rio from the questions she asked. I could tell straight away that she and her family will love and care for Rio in the same way that we do and I wasn’t wrong. Bruna knew I was nervous about leaving a very precious member of our family with her but from the moment we dropped Rio off she made sure to put my nervousness to rest. She was prepared with lots of questions before we left and whilst we were away I got regular updates throughout the day. She has kept his routine that he has at home and looked after him really well during this heatwave. Bruna and her family have done everything to make their home welcoming for Rio and taken exceptional care of him. I would not hesitate to leave Rio with Bruna again, if anything I hope Bruna and her family can be regular carers for Rio. I would highly recommend Bruna for any kind of dog sitting / boarding, she is so loving and caring and has treated Rio like her own. Thank you so much Bruna ❤️.”
About: I am a Primary School Teacher in the day, but happy to look after your furry loved ones for long weekends or during school holidays. I have a high-energy Hungarian boy Vizsla myself so we enjoy long walks and cuddles on the couch. I’d be happy to look after your dog and send lots of videos and photos! I currently work full-time as a teacher, with the odd day off in the middle of the week. I am available for weekend work and boarding over school holidays! I have a detached property with a fenced garden area. I also live near parks and fields for fun with a ball, or two! We have lots of space for the dogs to run, play and snuggle!
“Winnie had the best time with Rachel, loved the constant updates on her stay. I want to thank you so much for looking after her especially in such high temperatures. She looked like she had a lovely time and if you’ll have her I’m sure she would love to stay with you again :) ❤️”
“Busta had the best time with Katie and her partner, they sent lots of pictures and kept me up to date on everything he was doing. He seemed so happy with Katie’s dog buster! He looked so happy and settled really well. Will definitely use Katie again! 🩵”
“Beverley was so welcoming and made us feel confident in leaving our dog for the first time . Duncan, Beverley's dog was so cute, bith digs got on really well. Wouldn't hesitate to use again and would recommend to friends and family.”
“Penny has been so well looked after and made part of the family. I am so happy as it has been her first time. She will definately be going to stay again. I had updates and photo's whilst I was away which was great. I would not hesitate to recommend to anyone who needs a Sitter. Thank you so much Bettyna and family x”
“Oh my word…. When I say Charlie went on his holidays… I mean Charlie went on his holidays. Kerry and Nick are simply the best humans to leave your precious pooch with. They took him on day trips out and spoilt him rotten. Charlie loves them and they treat him like he is their own. I can completely relax and enjoy my holiday knowing that Charlie is enjoying his. He’s so settled and snuggles in close to them both at night time. Thank you Nick and Kerry. I am super grateful to you both. Xx”
“I cant recommend Stephanie highly enough! Im not sure Honey wanted to come home! Stephanie has a lovely, spacious home and has an ideal doggy secure front and back gardens. Stephanie is also very much a doggy person who has her own dog Millie who also is delightful. Honey has been to stay with Stephanie and Millie for a long weekend, and being a 7 month old pup, we’re still at the building confidence stage and this was to be Honeys very first big girls weekend away. Stephanie has made this a fantastic experience for her and I knew from our first meet amd greet a couple of weeks earlier, that Honey would be happy staying there. Shes had an awesome weekend so thank you so much Stephanie! Heres to the next time xx”
“Annabelle and her partner took such loving care of Boomer. Here’s a warmer rewrite that highlights **Anabelle as a warm person**: Annabelle and her partner took really good care of Boomer. I received updates every day and it was wonderful to see him so relaxed and comfortable in their home. Annabelle is such a warm and genuine person and we wouldn’t hesitate to board Boomer with her again.”
“Linus had a great 11 night stay with Justyna. He had obviously been very well looked after and was very happy and settled when I went to collect him. Justyna's house is clean, tidy and secure and she made Linus feel very at home. I highly recommend Justyna to look after your dog.”
About: While our house isn’t huge, we have a secure fenced garden and are very close to a lovely park, so dogs will still get lots of exercise and outdoor time. We know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and we’d treat your dog as one of our own — with love, patience, and plenty of attention. We’re a loving family of four who genuinely miss having a dog in our home after sadly losing our beloved dog TJ last year at the age of 15½. TJ was part of our family from puppyhood through to his senior years, so we understand the patience, care, and attention dogs need at every stage of life — especially older dogs who may need extra support and gentleness. In his later years, TJ was blind and unsteady on his feet, so we became very experienced in creating a calm, safe, and comforting environment for him. Caring for him taught our daughters kindness, patience, and how important pets are as family members. Our cat Stanley absolutely adored TJ — they were best friends — and since TJ passed away, Stanley has definitely missed having a dog around the house. Both myself and my partner (Paul) work from home full time, meaning your dog will rarely be left alone and will get plenty of attention, company, cuddles, and toilet breaks throughout the day. We also have two caring daughters aged 10 and 8 who love animals and enjoy helping with walks, playtime, and giving lots of affection. We have a fenced back garden that is accessible throughout the day and also live close to Victoria Park which is perfect for walking dogs! For dogs that don't mind car rides, we love taking trips to the beach and will make sure your dog gets plenty of exercise. We will always follow your routine for feeding.
“Marty had a lovely visit with Lauren. She communicated well, sent updates and pics, and you could tell Marty was a very happy boy during his time! Would absolutely book again. Thanks again, Lauren.”
“Brought Tyson back from an overnight stay with Danielle. Super chilled loves being with her and everything she does and more to make him love going back time after time. Thanks for looking after our big bear so well above & beyond as usual.”

“We had a fantastic experience with Hayley and couldn’t be happier. This was our first time using Rover, and Hayley immediately put us at ease from the very start. She looked after our cats, Daisy and Buddy, with 30-minute visits twice a day for three days, and everything was handled perfectly. Her updates were excellent and really reassuring, and the cleanliness was absolutely brilliant, we came home to everything spotless. Buddy is extremely shy, so we were especially impressed that by the end of the third day he even came out to see Hayley, which is truly a first for him. We felt completely relaxed the entire time we were away and knew our cats were in safe, caring hands. We will definitely be using Hayley again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and genuinely caring sitter.”
“Emma is a really lovely person. She really shows professionalism and also love for the animals. My cats loved her (one of them was a little timid, but she is with everyone new - she did warm up after the 2nd visit!) Emma kept us updated on our cats: sending us some texts/photos and videos after every visits she made. She did not hesitate to pop back in to double check on our cats (who have a tendency in closing doors). She was really great and caring! Would 100% recommend her!”
“Yet again Chloe has done a great job looking after Paris and Summer. Making sure that they are fed, watered and cleaning out their litter trays. She also gives them cuddles and plays with them when they can be bothered. Lol. We have 2 rather anti social girls. I wouldn't want to use anyone else as they seem quite settled with Chloe. Thank you x”
“Aunty G is our furbabies best aunty, she takes them for long walks, plays with them, feeds them and they love her to bits. They are her friends for life, we couldn't wish for a better dog walker because if the dogs are happy we're happy.”
“Natalie was brilliant. I would recommend to anyone. Friendly, honest & trustworthy & real love for the animals she tends to. She visited before our hol to meet us & Noodles adapted well to her 2 x daily visits. Natalie sent daily updates & photos to reassure us that all was well. I would not hesitate to use her cat sitting services. Thankyou 😊 ”
“Kylie was amazing with our cats, she looked after both of them really well, tending to their different personalities. very friendly, positive and easy to communicate with, with consistent updates on our cats. Would highly recommend!”
About: I love cats, all ages and personalities, they seem to love me as well, and i have all the playful bites and scratches to prove it :-) Cats make their own mind up about people, and im lucky that they all seem to take a shine to me and trust is earned quickly. I love to spend time both stroking them, or playing with the more energetic ones, I get as much out it all as the cats do :-)
“Andrew has been amazing with our cat Rupert. He went above and beyond our expectations. Rupert has always been an anxious cat, and hated catteries. He would be out of sorts for days after coming home. When we came back from our break with Andrew caring for him, Rupert was so relaxed and happy it was like we never left. We got several pictures every visit, along with a summary, and all our instructions were followed to the letter. We cannot recommend Andrew enough.”
About: I grew up with 4 cats and 2 Labradors in my family, this sparked my compassion for animals. I adore playing, training, and most importantly making sure they have everything they need such as enough sleep, the right nutrition, enrichment and exercise! Presently, I am the owner of a Labrador puppy (and a cute elderly hamster)! She is incredibly well behaved, extremely well trained and always happy - this did not go without lots of highs and lows 😂. If you choose me to walk or look after your pet I will not disappoint. I am positive I will be able to give your dog anything it needs. I am able to handle large, strong breeds and I am also experienced with reactive dogs and how to train them. I am currently a postgraduate Student Doctor at the University of Liverpool meaning I have free time when most people are working! I am available intermittently during week days and available most weekends. I have a large fenced garden where my Labrador puppy loves to play and forage for food! She gets an amazing variety of exercise and training including tug of war, fetch, heel and recall work, and lots more enrichment. Our puppy also has specific nap times after a large meal or exercise which hugely helps dog behaviour as well as limiting any problems with digestion.
About: I’m a dedicated cat lover and owner of two cats, so I understand their personalities, needs, and quirks. I genuinely enjoy spending time playing, feeding, and bonding with cats, and I always make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I’ve also had experience taking care of other people’s cats, including pet sitting and check-ins for friends and neighbours. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to follow your cat’s routine closely, whether it’s playtime, feeding schedules, or giving them space when needed. Your cat will be treated with the same love and care as my own.
About: I work full-time as a professional dog walker and pet sitter, and caring for animals is something I genuinely love. My experience with dogs began while I was at university, where I regularly walked retired racing greyhounds, giving me valuable experience with different temperaments, energy levels, and individual needs. I pride myself on being reliable, trustworthy, and hardworking, always going the extra mile to provide the highest standard of care for every pet. I understand how important it is for owners to feel confident that their pets are safe, happy, and well looked after while they're away. For added peace of mind, I hold an enhanced DBS check, a Pet First Aid certificate, comprehensive pet care insurance, and a Pet Sitting and Dog Walking Diploma. I am committed to providing a professional, caring, and dependable service, treating every pet as if they were my own. I currently work part-time with early finishes through the week and have both Fridays and Saturdays free to look after your fur babies. I am more than happy for you to enquire about any services not listed and I am flexible as to the care of your animals- I will try my best to fit you in as and when I can always. When visiting your pet in your home, I will always follow the rules and routines we have discussed prior to offer you peace of mind and keep your pet as relaxed and happy as possible whilst you are away. If we are on a particularly long walk or I am minding your dog for a day or more we may visit my home where I have my own dog, providing your dog gets along with others. I have a secure garden and pet care facilities.
“Couldn’t recommend Alexandra enough! Helped us out massively with last minute support and our pup couldn’t have enjoyed her company more ☺️ Amazing updates and photos, thank you so much x”
“I’m so glad I’ve found Natalie and Rover. She’s been absolutely brilliant with my cats and she really does care. I love the little school report she gives on them. I’ll be booking more regular slots in the new year. Thank you so much Natalie 🐾”
“We can't thank Amy enough for the care and attention she gave our 3 cats whilst we were away. We got daily pictures of our boys relaxed, happy and well-fed ❤️ it was a comfort to see them each day! I can't recommend Amy highly enough and we'll definitely use her again during our next trip. Thank you! ”
About: I have been able to share my home with 5 cats over the years at varying stages, all very different in temperant. I have also volunteered with the RSPCA which involved some cat socilastion. I do have two dogs now but my love for any animal is equal having had guinea pigs, rabbits, fish, hamsters. My experience with cats is largely based on my own experience.
“Fantastic service cannot rate Damon enough. He is well loved by both our Cats. They love that he pays them attention and fusses them as well as feeding them. You can tell he loves animals. Will definitely be using him again.”

“Rachel is just amazing, she met us on one of the most awful rainy windy days to meet and walk Norman before looking after him. Rachel is just a really lovely kind person and Norman took to her straight away and loved his stay. The right amount of feedback to reassure us that Normie was fine and enjoying his stay. Thank you so much Rachel we all really appreciated your care and kindness”
“A really lovely couple. Harley and Ted loved spending the day at the house for the day. They were really attentive and caring towards both dogs. We would definitely recommend and consider using again. Thankyou so much x”
“Lola was happy to stay with Mark and appears to have quickly made herself at home. I felt comfortable leaving her and Mark couldn’t have been more accommodating. Excellent- wouldn’t hesitate to book again. Thank you”

About: I love providing care for pet parents, and showing their pets as much love as I show my own. I care for my friends dogs when they're away and they have an opportunity to socialise with Bella (the toy poodle) and Oscar (the labradoodle). We'd love to open our home to other pets so they have somewhere to go when their paw parents are out at work. Bella and Oscar love being around other dogs (and people). I work flexibly and the days in which I accept referrals are on my non-working days. This is to ensure that I can provide my full attention to our guests. I have a fenced garden and friendly fur children who are there to keep your pet company when they're bored of humans. I will provide close supervision of your pet at all times, and I will not leave them unattended in the home.
“Jodi looked after Mocha today and she was absolutely brilliant. She kept me updated with lovely pictures, which really put my mind at ease. Mocha was clearly very happy and well cared for. Jodi did a fantastic job – she’s kind, reliable, and very caring. I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to look after their dog. 🐾❤️”

About: Hi. I’m Ste. I’ve had a lot of experience with dogs. Me and my ex partner had 6 together. 4 german shepherd’s 1 Labrador & one cross breed. Shown in pictures. We also had 5 horses, chickens, ducks, geese on a small holding. So Iam experienced with different animals! Some friends said we was mad! :) but we loved it. It was pretty full on but loved the lifestyle. I don’t have any pets any more after splitting up with my ex and miss having any animals around. I’ve just been made redundant after working night shift for 27 years and I feel like a change and want to do something I enjoy. I have been looking after friends dogs on a few occasions for the last few weeks why he has been away on business trips. And it made me realise I enjoy it and that’s what has made me give it a go. I have a lot of free time at the moment. No children or pets in my house. I would always strictly stick to any instructions required by the owner regarding any needs or feeding times etc. & I would treat anyone’s pet as my own! I thought of my dogs as my kids so I know how important they are to you! I will update my profile as I go along and get some customers hopefully! I’m very tustworthy if you wanting me coming sitting and staying in your house. And for boarding. I have a mid terrace house with an enclosed back garden with flags & grass. I will aim to take one customer at a time if boarding with me to start with. Would take more as long as I know their dogs are good with other dogs. Would take 2 dogs at most from one household just why I’m getting started. Any questions or requests tho please feel free to ask. At the moment I’m currently unemployed with full availability. And I’m able to take bookings at very short notice. Just message me for any requests I have a high gated and fenced back yard for safety when toileting. I live in a mid terrace 3 bed house. At the moment as I’m new I don’t own a crate. If I need one I can easily purchase one if it’s something I think customers will need
“Wesley was fantastic, clearly cares a lot about the dogs he looks after. Took my puppy out early before it got too hot, regular communication throughout the day and she clearly enjoyed herself. Wouldn’t hesitate to book again ☺️”
About: We are the proud parents of a 7 year old spaniel who we have had since he was a baby! We’re the kind of people who throw our dog an elaborate birthday party, and would love getting to hang out with (and maybe spoil a little bit) your dog too! We both work from home - Naji full time, and I have 1 office day which I can move as and when needed. Our lives revolve around dogs, whether in the house, playing or having cuddles, or out for long walks! We are flexible with routine, so if you can let us know what a normal day in your dogs life looks like we will follow that structure to help them feel as settled with us as possible. As pet parents ourselves we understand how special your pet is and would always treat them with the same love and care as we want our boy to be treated. While with us they would be another member of our family and get all the cuddles and play time they want! We have a big garden with a tall fence so your baby will be nice and safe when playing outside. We’ll send you lots of photos and updates about what your baby is getting up to.
About: I have grown up with 4 dogs: A lab, a pointer, a spaniel and a Romanian shepherd dog. I did Rover as a house sitter for the last year & now we have a dog of our own who LOVES company. I work from home & my partner is home on weekends. Our Stumpy loves having friends. I work from home and we already have a dog of our own, so one or two more will be no bother! I love walking and cuddles. I can provide lots of scratches and cuddles, as well as playtime and using lots of their energy if needs be. Or for more timid dogs, I can equally be a fly on the wall and provide a safe, anxious-free space for them. Toilet breaks, meals and regular water bowl fill ups.
“My wee fur baby had a lovely day with Sharon at her home in Warrington. I had to drop her quite early in the morning and Sharon very flexible with drop off and pick up times and kept in communication throughout the day. Hope to use her services again and would recommend to others. Thanks ! :)”

About: I lost my dog to old age in December 24, he was a 15 year old Patterdale that had been with me since May 2011. So I've cared for both young and elderly dogs. I also care for the dogs of family when they go away. I live alone and mostly work from home. I have a secure back garden and have a choice of parks nearby for walking. I can usually get out for walks in the morning, lunchtime and evening. I work from a desk in my dining room, that has access into my back yard. The back yard is secure with brick walls on all sides with a gate into an alley.
About: Hi, I’m Michael! I’ve grown up around dogs and cats my whole life, so I know exactly how much they mean to a family. To me, they aren’t just pets, they’re our best friends. I started Tail Waggin' Adventures because I wanted to give local dogs a chance to get out, explore, and have a bit of fun while their owners are busy. What our walks are like: I don’t believe a walk should just be a quick trip around the block. I like to make sure your dog actually has a great time. - If your dog loves a fast-paced hike, we’ll do that. If they’re older and just want to spend 30 minutes sniffing every single tree, that’s fine too! I follow their lead. - I’m always on the lookout for busy roads or other dogs to make sure everything stays stress-free. I’ll always stick to your specific rules and whatever temperament your dog has. - I want to be someone your dog is actually excited to see. I use lots of praise and treats (if allowed!) to make sure we become the best of friends. Check ins: If your pet prefers staying at home, I can pop in to help. I'll refresh their food and water, clean litter trays, and make sure they get some garden time and plenty of attention. I always keep a close eye on their behavior and appetite, and I’ll send you a quick update and some photos after every visit so you can relax. I’m fully insured and DBS checked, so you know your home and your pets are in safe hands. I always suggest a free meet and greet first to make sure I’m the right fit for your pet. Just send me a message and we’ll get it booked in! I work part time in my day job, which is quite flexible. This means I can usually shift things around to suit your schedule. While I'm wide open on weekends, I can often make mid-week or evening sessions work too. Every week can be a little different, so it’s always worth sending me a message, I’m happy to chat and see how I can fit into your pet's routine! I understand how important your home is, and I promise to treat it with the same care and respect I give to your pet. You'll always find your space left exactly as it was, providing you with complete peace of mind.
About: Let me introduce myself - I’m Chrissie and I absolutely love Dogs!! Due to the passing of my beloved Hugo (seen in pics) last year, I have missed the bond of having a pet and getting out in nature as much. I have looked after family dogs many times over the last decade, from springer spaniels, staffys and jack russels. I have loved each dog as if it were my own. I give them the care and affection they deserve and will give yours just as much (if not more!) Carr mill dam is literally at the end of my road, so your dog will have the luxury of the various walks available in the area. I also drive so can take well behaved dogs to other nearby places where your pet can explore its surroundings. I’m looking for well behaved dogs who are good around children as my young son is likely to join us on our walks. I am a teaching assistant by day so I can occasionally provide drop-in checks after school hours, but mainly available for long weekends and school holidays. Perfect for families who are looking for breaks away but not wanting massive expenses for kennel boarding. I have a large astro turfed garden with high fences. Dogs are allowed to roam freely around my home and garden. My home is essentially theirs and wish for them to feel as comfortable and safe as possible.

“Looked after my boy at very short nice and provided a great service. Very polite and on time. Followed instructions and provided a package I could only wish for. Great person and very much recommended.”
About: I grew up with 4 cats and 2 Labradors in my family, this sparked my compassion for animals.

Presently, I am the owner of a Labrador puppy (and a cute elderly hamster)! She is incredibly well behaved, extremely well trained and always happy - this did not go without lots of highs and lows 😂. If you choose me to walk or look after your pet I will not disappoint. I am positive I will be able to give your dog anything it needs. I am able to handle large, strong breeds and I am also experienced with reactive dogs and how to train them. I am currently a postgraduate Student Doctor at the University of Liverpool meaning I have free time when most people are working! I am available intermittently during week days and available most weekends. I have a large fenced garden where my Labrador puppy loves to play and forage for food! She gets an amazing variety of exercise and training including tug of war, fetch, heel and recall work, and lots more enrichment. Our puppy also has specific nap times after a large meal or exercise which hugely helps dog behaviour as well as limiting any problems with digestion.

I pride myself on being reliable, trustworthy, and hardworking, always going the extra mile to provide the highest standard of care for every pet. I understand how important it is for owners to feel confident that their pets are safe, happy, and well looked after while they're away.

I have a secure garden and pet care facilities.

“Alex is fabulous, she’s great at picking up on what Sophie wants and needs and adjusting to that rather than just sticking to the plan. I love that she’s so adaptable and I know that Sophie is in good hands.”
About: Hi, I’m Faye from Newton-le-Willows. I’ve grown up with dogs and had dogs into my adult life. I have experience with puppies, small & medium sized dogs. I have a 2 year old Shih Tzu who I’ve had since 10 weeks old, so the puppy phase has been completed 😅 I have house sat for friends dogs during the day and also stayed overnight for longer periods. I have administered medication when required. I work from home 5 days a week but I do have an office day on a Thursday every so often. I am flexible throughout the day in being able to walk your fur babies. I would also be available most weekends too. I have a fenced garden for my dog with no chance of escaping. I allow him the full run of the house at all times
About: Hi! I’m Zara, and caring for dogs has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember — from childhood through to today. I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and needs, and I truly understand how much love, patience, and attention they deserve. My experience includes: • 🐶 Senior dog care – I grew up with a gentle, elderly Golden Retriever, so I’m familiar with the extra support and calm routine older dogs need. • 🐕 High-energy & timid breeds – I currently help care for our beautiful Hungarian Vizsla rescue, Serbi, who came to us frightened and unsure. In just a few months, he’s blossomed into a playful, affectionate companion, and I’ve loved being part of that journey. • 🐩 Small breed care – I’ve spent the last 13+ years looking after my auntie’s Cocker Spaniels, my dad’s Cavachon (for 4 years), and now my own Cavachon, Benji, who’s 2 years and 3 months old. I also help with my dad’s Cockapoo Biscuit — Benji’s playful best friend who is a similar age with lots of energy! I treat every dog as if they were my own, giving them loving, reliable care tailored to their unique personality and routine. Whether your pup is playful, shy, senior, or just in need of some extra TLC, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and right at home. Let me know how I can help care for your furry family member — I can’t wait to meet them! 🐾❤️ I work from home so I am very flexible. I have full access to my own car with lots of room to transport the doggos to and from walks safely with doggy seat belts. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priority. I offer a loving, secure home environment where your pup will feel like part of the family. I live in a fully secured home that’s dog-friendly, calm, and perfect for both playtime and relaxation. Your dog will also have the company of my two well-behaved, friendly dogs: Benji, my gentle 2-year-old Cavachon, and Serbi, our sweet Hungarian Vizsla rescue. Both are incredibly social and love the company of other dogs, and equally respect other dogs space also. Benji has grown up around his cousins — including Rufus the Vizsla, Jasper the Cavachon, and Biscuit the Cockerpoo — so he’s used to making new doggy friends and loves having playmates around. Serbi has mirrored Benji’s social nature since joining our furry crew and would love the company of some more doggos! Whether your pup is high-energy or a bit more reserved, I always provide a safe, supervised space where they can feel secure and loved. I monitor all interactions closely to ensure everyone gets along well, and I give each dog plenty of individual attention. From cuddles on the sofa to fun in the garden, your pet will be treated with the same care and respect I give my own. I also provide regular photo and video updates so you can relax and enjoy peace of mind knowing your furry friend is in great hands!

I’m reliable, compassionate, and genuinely love spending time with dogs—whether it’s keeping up with a playful pup or giving comfort and support to a senior. As a student who spends a lot of time working from home, my schedule is really flexible and allows me plenty of free time for pet care. I already enjoy going on long walks myself, so having a dog as a walking buddy makes it even better. This means I can give your pet lots of attention, exercise, and care throughout the day.

“Oh my word…. When I say Charlie went on his holidays… I mean Charlie went on his holidays. Kerry and Nick are simply the best humans to leave your precious pooch with. They took him on day trips out and spoilt him rotten. Charlie loves them and they treat him like he is their own. I can completely relax and enjoy my holiday knowing that Charlie is enjoying his. He’s so settled and snuggles in close to them both at night time. Thank you Nick and Kerry. I am super grateful to you both. Xx”

About: While our house isn’t huge, we have a secure fenced garden and are very close to a lovely park, so dogs will still get lots of exercise and outdoor time. We know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and we’d treat your dog as one of our own — with love, patience, and plenty of attention. We’re a loving family of four who genuinely miss having a dog in our home after sadly losing our beloved dog TJ last year at the age of 15½. TJ was part of our family from puppyhood through to his senior years, so we understand the patience, care, and attention dogs need at every stage of life — especially older dogs who may need extra support and gentleness. In his later years, TJ was blind and unsteady on his feet, so we became very experienced in creating a calm, safe, and comforting environment for him. Caring for him taught our daughters kindness, patience, and how important pets are as family members. Our cat Stanley absolutely adored TJ — they were best friends — and since TJ passed away, Stanley has definitely missed having a dog around the house. Both myself and my partner (Paul) work from home full time, meaning your dog will rarely be left alone and will get plenty of attention, company, cuddles, and toilet breaks throughout the day. We also have two caring daughters aged 10 and 8 who love animals and enjoy helping with walks, playtime, and giving lots of affection. We have a fenced back garden that is accessible throughout the day and also live close to Victoria Park which is perfect for walking dogs! For dogs that don't mind car rides, we love taking trips to the beach and will make sure your dog gets plenty of exercise. We will always follow your routine for feeding.

“Bianca is a great host and I'll definitely be using her again. Ahead of Senna"s stay and during his stay Bianca"s communication was first class, with picture updates and queries. I was fully able to enjoy my holiday knowing Senna was enjoying his.”
“What a wonderful two weeks for Frankie our Miniature Bull Terrier! She loved staying with Marena and Chelita, and has really missed her doggy best friend since she came home. Great pictures and videos throughout our holiday, we will come back again and again - thank you!”
“I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter for Willow. I don’t leave her very often, so I was naturally quite anxious, but James put me completely at ease from the start. Willow seemed to feel at home as soon as she walked through the door. James treated her as if she were his own, giving her plenty of love, attention, cuddles and treats throughout her stay. I received lots of photo updates, which was so reassuring, and it was clear from the pictures that she was having the best time. When I collected her, she was so comfortable and settled that she happily carried on playing while I chatted with James about her stay, which says it all really! I wouldn’t hesitate to leave Willow with James again and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a caring, reliable and genuine dog sitter. Thank you so much for taking such great care of her! 🐾❤️”
