“Amanda & John are absolutely amazing!!!! I would highly recommend them! ♥️ It was my Louie & Daisy’s first time staying out & Amanda & John really put me at ease & I had regular updates. Louie & Daisy had a fantastic time there and was so loved & had constant attention 🥰 Thank you both so very much!!”
“Michael is amazing! We left our collie cross (who can be a real handful for inexperienced sitters!) with him for a week whilst on holiday and Michael's been amazing with him, giving us lovely updates and pictures throughout. Best sitter we've ever used, we'd highly recommend!”
“Dan is amazing. His genuine love for dogs really shows: he’s patient, caring, and always puts the dog’s needs first (even if that means playing fetch for the 100th time). Our rescue Belgian Malinois, Apple, stayed with him for two weeks over Christmas and he handled her reactivity and need for a slow introduction perfectly and Apple now runs toward Dan, which says everything. By the time we left for our holiday leaving her behind for the first time, all my worries were gone. We picked her up happy, clean, and with everything neatly packed. Dan is the best, highly recommend.”
“My 14yr old Dachshund had a weekend stay with Julie following his companion of 12yrs passing away. He was very depressed and not himself at all and I wasnt going to go to my plans initially. I then came across Julie and she seemed so lovely. During the initial visit she was calm and kind and Ziggy seemed right at home. She was sp accommodating when I explained that I had to leave earlier and said it was okay he could go. She sent me regular updates and pictures to reassure me that Ziggy was okay. He looked like he has a smashing time and was cared for very well. He's got a little bit of himself back and I would rebook Julie for future plans 🖤 thankyou”
“First booking and not our last From first contacting Karen, to arranging a visit and throughout Fíonns stay we are so delighted to have found her and her partner. It’s obvious the experience they have and their love of animals - she picked up on my anxiety immediately and really helped me to calm down - Fíonn has clearly had the best time - and I think he will miss them all lots - thanks Karen so much. Xxx”
“Nicola was absolutely fantastic with Nellie this weekend! From the moment we dropped her off, I felt completely at ease. Nicola kept me updated with lovely messages and photos, and it was clear that Nellie was happy, relaxed, and getting plenty of attention. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. I’ll definitely be booking with Nicola again — highly recommend!”
“We went away for the week and to say that we had anxiety about leaving lady with someone is an understatement. However, we definitely didn’t need to worry. We knew from the moment we met Bianca and Chloe at the meet and greet that we had made the right decision. They kept us fully updated throughout our holiday with updates and pictures and we honestly couldn’t have asked for better dog sitters. We are going away quite a lot and the stress of finding a dog sitter has finally gone. I would highly recommend Bianca and Chloe if you are looking for someone to look after your dog while you are away as they are not your average dog sitter, they poured so much love into it and you can see they genuinely love what they do and care about the dogs in their care. Thank you so much for making our holiday a million times less stressful.”
“We've had the fortune of having Hannah care for Lily several times now and I can honestly say that she provides a home from home. Lily loves the time she gets to spend with Hannah and Ruby which gives us great peace of mind. We look forward to the regular 'Pup-dates' and hearing all about their adventures. Thanks Hannah, you're a real gem! x”
“Kodjo looked after my dog during a heatwave. He ensured that my dog was kept comfortable, he utilised fans and air conditioning inside his home to create a nice cool atmosphere for him. When the temperature was cool enough outside, Kodjo had him out on nice long walks to tire him out. He not only followed all care instructions - but went the extra mile during my pet’s stay. I would highly recommend.”
“I cannot speak highly enough of Caitlin! This was the first time leaving our dog with pet sitter and she took very good care of him. She sent us frequent photos, which put our minds at ease. Our Ozzy came back happy and well cared for!!! Highly recommended! Thank you, Caitlin!”
About: Having dogs since I was 4, I have always been comfortable and passionate. We are currently PAT volunteers with our dog Bjorn (golden retriever) and currently undertaking my pet first aid qualification. I can provide a full DBS check and provide dog walking insurance details. To clarify, the dog walking, boarding and day sitting will be solely done by myself. My wife will be present in the home but works from home. I am a full time dog walker and sitter. I can be flexible during any day of the week, and will give plenty of notice if circumstances change. Pet's come first in my household, wether it's a toilet break, play time or just attention. I can easily provide photos/videos throughout the day to keep your peace of mind, and also hold a fully quarter acre fenced garden, pleanty for any dog to run and have a sense of freedom or adventure.
About: I am a part time dog walker and dog groomer so am used to dealing with dogs of all ages, size and breeds. I am also canine first aid qualified. Please note that your pup may be left for up to 6 hours (weekday only) due to work. They will be left with Neil who is a very well behaved boy and loves other dogs :) I have a camera so that I can keep an eye on them and I only work 10 minutes away. Dogs are allowed free roam of the house. I have a secure back garden which can be used for toilet breaks, however they will be taken for walks to the field nearby or to explore the local country park.
“Karen was great. Kept us up to date either pictures and messages about how Jenny was getting on and took really good care of her. She came back a very happy and tired pup. Thanks!”
“Valeria was fantastic with Kenji over the Christmas holidays. She handled his reactivity with patience and kindness and kept us updated every day with photos and videos. I highly recommend her and will definitely contact her again in the future.”
“Luna stayed with Clare for 10 days and had a fantastic time! She was so happy and settled very quickly! You could tell how well it went as she didn’t want to leave when we picked her up!! Would recommend to anyone who needs a great, safe and fun place for their dog to stay! We will definitely be using again on our next holiday!”
“I have left my princess cooper with Kelly a few times now and can honestly say that Kelly and her family are amazing with her. Cooper gets walks, playtime and treated like one of the family. I sometimes worry that at some point cooper will not want to come home as she loves spending time with Kelly and her family! I trust Kelly with cooper and will continue to do so on my next trip in Feb 2020. Thank you Kelly for being amazing with cooper.”
“Matty looked after Dave for us for 5 nights. He sent us pictures, videos and updates daily. Dave literally lived his best life with Matty, taking him out for walks and fun the garden. Would highly recommended Matty for any type pet welfare.”

“Thanks again to Kayleigh for looking after Puss while I’ve been away. Since Puss got poorly, I’ve been more nervous about leaving her, but Kayleigh keeps me updated and sends amazing pictures. Puss lives playing with her and seems so relaxed. Thanks for helping me to enjoy my break. 🥰”
“Vanessa and Tony were fabulous. They came to chat with us about what our cats specific needs were before we went away. They kept us constantly updated and reassured as we were very nervous leaving our cat.They even took care of our gecko for us with no issues! I would recommend Tony and Vanessa to anyone and we would definitely book them again :) ”
“Honestly the best I could ask for. Came through last minute and went out of her way for my girls, even buying litter for them when an emergency meant I couldn’t to get some!! Send me updates and pics every day, and made me feel so much less anxious about leaving. Could not recommend more🥹🩷🩷”
“Elizabeth was really thorough with her care of our cat and even managed to get him to come to say hi and give some affection despite normally finding it hard to relax around new people. Thank you, Elizabeth!”
“Paige has been an absolute superstar with Cheddar and Skittle. The fact that they warmed to her so quickly is a testament to her kind and gentle nature, she truly understood their personalities and tended to their individual needs. We didn’t worry about them once and her detailed pet cards were both a source of entertainment and a much needed source of relief being away from our pets! I can’t recommend her highly enough. Thankyou for everything Paige! Xx”
“My pet care wasn't standard, as it involved cats and my rats. This sitter overcame her own fear of rodents and took wonderful care of them. The animals weren't stressed, and the sitter respected the cats' avoidance of contact. Interestingly, the rats were eager to play, which is a good sign, as they're usually wary. Cats and dogs can easily be bribed with treats, but rodents are impossible, and for me, that confirms that I made a good choice in sitter.”
“Yarah, is a truly lovely thoughtful young woman, who as a deep love of all animals and creatures great and small. I couldn't have asked for a nicer person to look after our 3 cats while we were away for a few days with our Grandson. She went above and beyond looking after them. It was lovely to be able to not have to worry at all about their care. She kept in touch with updates and photos etc. I will definitely be asking her to look after them again and cannot recommend her highly enough.😊”
“Nicola had been great with my cat Henry. He is a very anxious cat who I could never put in a cattery, family are too far or not here anymore to feed him when I’m away. Nicola came to meet him before, he ran upstairs but he saw her, she sent me photos and a video as he made a noise and she didn’t know if he was ok, it was normal, he opens his mouth to miaow but nothing comes out but this small noise.. thought this was good of her to check. Great service and reliable, would definitely recommend and contact again.”
About: I’ve had my own cat who taught me patience, loyalty and love! They can be the most independent animals yet incredibly loving. I have cared for many cats ranging from tabby’s to Maine Coon’s, those who don’t like physical affection and those who love it!
About: I have over 25 years of experience caring for dogs and run Ruby’s Retreat, a home-from-home boarding service in Dukinfield. As a Rover Star Sitter with 33 five-star reviews, I provide personalised care in a calm family environment. I work from home, meaning dogs receive company, supervision and attention throughout the day. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, rescue dogs, nervous dogs, medication administration and multi-dog households. Every dog is treated as an individual and I take time to learn their personality, routine and preferences so they feel safe, relaxed and settled during their stay. I carefully manage group dynamics and only accept dogs that I feel will be a good fit for the environment, ensuring a positive experience for everyone. I work from home full-time, which means dogs are rarely left alone and receive plenty of supervision, attention and companionship throughout the day. Each day includes garden access, exercise, playtime, rest periods and lots of interaction. I adapt routines to suit individual dogs, whether they prefer active days, quiet companionship or a little of both. I am flexible with feeding schedules, medication requirements and established routines to help your dog feel comfortable and settled during their stay. At Ruby’s Retreat, dogs stay in a calm family home with secure outdoor space and are treated as part of the family. I carefully manage introductions and group dynamics to ensure dogs are well matched and comfortable with one another. Every dog receives individual attention and I take time to understand their personality, routine and any specific needs before their stay. Dogs are welcome on furniture and have access to both indoor and outdoor spaces throughout the day. However, I am always happy to follow an owner’s preferred rules and routines to maintain consistency. Regular photo and video updates are provided throughout your dog’s stay, giving you complete peace of mind while you’re away.
“Very happy with Neoma, my cat Henry is very anxious and scared of new people, told her that she prob wouldn’t see him much and just to put his food down etc but she sent me pics on the first day of her fussing him, he took to her straight away, I got regular updates, wasn’t worried about him at all while I was away, can definitely recommend”
“This is the second time I’ve booked with Sarah to look after my cat while I’ve been away, and I will continue to do so in the future. Sarah is very thorough in going through what Ziva needed while I was away, sent regular updates and photos, and gave Ziva lots of attention and care while I was away. I really recommend Sarah as a cat sitter”
“Demmi has been absolutely wonderful with my two elderly cats. She was really conscientious about making sure they got what they needed and they haven’t sulked about us being away.”
“Kirsten was amazing my previous sitter let me know 2 days before my holiday and I was away for New Year’s Eve. She looked after my 4 year old cat and my 14 week old kitten. I was the most relaxed on my holiday Iv been since Iv had my cats. She sent me pictures and most of all my cats LOVED her. I can’t thank her enough.”

“Megan has been fantastic with drop-in visits for my cat while we’ve been away for the week. Each day came with slightly different — and sometimes quite complex — instructions and timings, but Megan took everything in her stride and handled it all perfectly without needing any prompting. She was reliable throughout, and we always received detailed updates, which gave us real peace of mind. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her or book her again whenever we’re away.”

I am very flexible and almost always at home so pretty much always available to look after your beautiful fur babies :) cats are also welcome.

“Clare was wonderful with my Border Collie, Phoebe! She provided regular updates with photos, showing how happy and active Phoebe was during her stay. Clare's home was perfect for a playful dog like Phoebe, offering plenty of space to run and play. I felt completely at ease knowing Phoebe was in such good hands. I highly recommend Clare to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter. We'll definitely be returning!”

I live in a spacious, dog-friendly home with a large, secure back garden, providing plenty of space for dogs to relax, play, and feel comfortable during their stay.

I only take a small number of dogs at a time to ensure quality care.
“Thank you for looking after Toby on such short notice! I needed to go into the office on short notice, I asked Monina if she was able to look after my 3 month old puppy. She responded so fast on messages and was super friendly! Monina was sending me updates throughout the day on how Toby was doing, which was very reassuring. Monina is kind and friendly and if I need a sitter again I would 100% go back to her. Thank you again Monina!”

“Tracy and her family agreed to care for Bubbles at short notice so I could attend a funeral for the day. Bubbles had never been left with anyone other than my own family members previously. Prior to the day care we arranged a ‘meet and greet’ which was a positive experience for both Bubbles and myself and this left me confident and reassured that Bubbles would be in ‘safe hands’ for me to leave her for a full day. On the actual day Bubbles was in Tracy’s care I received regular text messages/pictures throughout the day updating me on her eating habits, toilet breaks, play time ,walks and lots of cuddles. All in all Bubbles and I have had a very pleasant and positive experience with Tracy and her family and I would 100% recommend Tracys services which I will definitely be using again in the future. Thank-you very much Tracy and family for taking such wonderful care of my Bubbles for the day.”

After the walk she discussed everything with me and was open and honest about how it went. Would definitely recommend Yarah she is passionate about all animals.”
“I was looking for a walker to replace my only walker I’ve had in three and a half years who had a perfect 100% record so big shoes to fill. Matthew has made the transition to new walker for Kevin(3 1/2 yo staffie) so seamless I’ve barely noticed the difference.Excellent timekeeping and great communication with a thorough Rover report card and checking to see if mine and Kevin’s needs are met.

I have loved animals ever since I was only a few years old, ranging from Cats, dogs, gerbils, degu’s, skinny pigs and many more! I have worked with many different breeds with many different temperaments. Every dog is different and that’s what makes them all special in their own little way. I’m currently working part time, meaning I have time both before and after my shift to care for your pets. Whether that’s for a cuddle or a feed! I am DBS checked, have pet first aid and many other animal qualifications meaning my knowledge of pets wellbeing and what to do in the harder situations is advanced!

About: I’ve helped my partner look after many different types of dogs over the last few years, from German Shepherds to Teacup Dachshunds. I’m now looking for dog walking opportunities of my own. I have owned dogs for 35 years and I’m currently the owner of an 8 year old Springer Spaniel and a 10 year old miniature Yorkshire Terrier (these 2 won’t be joining me on the walks). I’m willing to offer solo dog walks where required. I’m currently studying Counselling and splitting care for my elderly father with my family, this allows me some free time during the week to fit in local dog walking. I always walk other people’s dogs on a lead and try and cover as much ground as possible to give the dog and myself a good amount of exercise (unless the dog is elderly or I have been given precise instructions on how to walk a dog)

Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine as animals have always been a huge part of my life. Alongside running my pet care services, I also work part-time as a Registered Veterinary Nurse during the week, which allows me to maintain my clinical skills while still offering flexible and reliable pet sitting and drop-in visits. Because I work part-time shifts, I’m able to plan my schedule carefully to ensure pets in my care receive the time, attention and routine they need 🐶🐱 On days I am not in practice, I have much greater flexibility for longer visits, pet sitting, walks and check-ins. When I do have a shift, I ensure visits are scheduled around my working hours so pets are never left without the care and companionship they deserve. Being a veterinary nurse also means I’m very used to structured routines and planning ahead, so you can feel confident that your pet’s feeding times, walks, medication and daily routine will always be followed carefully 🩺🐾 Caring for animals is something I genuinely love, so spending my free time looking after pets fits perfectly into my lifestyle 🤍 Your pet’s safety and wellbeing will always be my highest priority 🤍 As a Registered Veterinary Nurse with over 10 years of experience, I am trained to recognise changes in behaviour, health and wellbeing, giving owners extra reassurance while their pets are in my care. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality, routine and individual needs so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. Whether your pet is playful and energetic or shy and cautious, I adapt my approach to ensure they feel safe and relaxed. I am passionate about fear-free handling, meaning I always aim to minimise stress and create calm, positive experiences for pets. This is especially important for nervous animals or those who may struggle with new environments. I will always respect your home and your pet’s usual routine — following feeding schedules, walk routines and medication instructions carefully 🐶🐱 As a pet owner myself, I know how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone new. That’s why I treat every animal with the same level of care, patience and compassion as I would my own 🐾💚 You can relax knowing your pet is being looked after by someone qualified, experienced and genuinely passionate about animal welfare.
About: Over the years, I've taken care of every kind of pet, from dogs to guinea pigs, for friends and family as well my own including rabbits, dogs, fish, etc. I've been a carer for over 30 years, and now that I'm retired I'm looking to fill the days with something I love. I'd treat your furbabies as if they were my own. I'm recently retired so there's plenty of availablw time in my schedule to take care of and play with your pets, including weekends! I have a spacious fenced garden and only own fish. Living near a large park means there's plenty of open space to walk dogs.
About: Based in ASHTON UNDER LYNE 🥰 I love animals so so much and have been taking care of peoples pets for as far as I can remember, I love being asked to take care of someone’s pet, it makes me so so happy. From my neighbours dog, cat to helping my friend who is also a dog sitter! It brings so much joy into my life. I used to have my own cat, Tiggy, who lived until 19 years old, I miss him dearly. I work 9-5 but remotely on Mondays and Fridays. I love going to walks in my spare time 🥰 so animal company is even better, I love all animals and not afraid of any!! Over the years I’ve learnt about different animals needs. I think it’s important to understand the animal as an individual in order to keep them happy. For example one cat might hate belly rubs whereas another will love them! (My cat didn’t approve)

About: Hi, I’m Molly! 🐾 Growing up, I’ve always been surrounded by dogs and have had a lifelong love for animals. In my family home, we had two Cocker Spaniels, George and Tilly, who I helped care for from a young age. My grandparents were also devoted dog owners and had five Golden Retrievers and a Labradoodle, so being around dogs of all ages, sizes and personalities has always been part of my life. 🐶 I currently have my own Cockapoo puppy, Mabel, who was born in May 2025 and keeps me on my toes! Through raising and training Mabel, as well as George and Tilly, I’ve gained hands-on experience with puppy care, basic training, socialisation and establishing positive routines. I love spending time outdoors and regularly enjoy long walks and runs with dogs. When visiting my family home, I still take George and Tilly out for walks and have taught them various tricks over the years. I understand that every dog is unique, and I’ll always take the time to ensure your pet feels safe, comfortable and loved while in my care. Whether your dog enjoys energetic adventures, playtime, cuddles on the sofa, or a combination of all three, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention and care as if they were my own. I can't wait to meet your four-legged family member! 🦮❤️ Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. I have my own Cockapoo puppy, Mabel, so my days naturally revolve around walks, playtime, training, feeding and plenty of cuddles. I work from home frequently and lead an active lifestyle, making it easy to fit dog walks and quality time into my day. Caring for dogs never feels like a chore to me, it's something I genuinely enjoy. Whether it's a long walk, a quick toilet break, playtime in the garden or simply providing company and affection, I'm happy to adapt to each dog's individual needs and routine. I always aim to make pets feel as comfortable and relaxed as possible by sticking closely to their usual routine. Whether I'm caring for them in my home or in their owner's home, I'll ensure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime and affection throughout the day. I'm experienced with feeding routines, administering basic care, reinforcing training and recognising when a dog needs rest or extra reassurance. I understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their personality, preferences and any specific requirements they may have. As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. I'll treat your dog as if they were my own, keeping them safe, happy and well cared for while you're away, and I'll always provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind. 🐾❤️
About: Hello, I'm Charlotte and I own my very own little fluff ball Ripley. She's a five year old Patterpoo, I absolutely adore dogs so I would love to look after your baby. Ripley is by my side everywhere I go. I have had Ripley from a puppy and trained her to do several commands. Ripley loves cuddles and Long walks as well as playing with her doggy friends so she would love a friend to play with whilst looking after your fur baby. (I only board/day care small dogs) Ripley is crate trained, but that went out the window a while ago, she has full run of the house and there's no such things as no pets on the furniture in my home. Your fur baby will get lots off attention, as Ripley does suffer from speration anxiety so comes with me everywhere (when I can) so your dog will be well looked after and get lots of attention I currently have most days free due to not starting full time work until the end of July. So your dog will be well looked after and spend lots of time with me I must meet your dog before any boarding or day care services are provided - I have a yard that is fully fenced and secure and gets great sun for those dogs who like to sunbathe like me. There's a local canal/forest in which myself and Ripley often take walks in. Dogs are allowed on the furniture in my home and if they are well behaved they can sleep on the bed. I also have two crates available if you prefer them to sleep in a crate. Your dogs will need to be well socialised as myself and Ripley like to venture out for food and drinks in local dog friendly restaurants Please note your dogs must be happy to ride in cars
“Couldn’t have asked for a better service. Neoma was super friendly, came over for a meet and greet. Kept me informed throughout and did an amazing job looking after my dog. Would absolutely recommend to anyone 🙂 Thanks Neoma!”
About: I have over 25 years of experience caring for dogs and run Ruby’s Retreat, a home-from-home boarding service in Dukinfield. As a Rover Star Sitter with 33 five-star reviews, I provide personalised care in a calm family environment. I work from home, meaning dogs receive company, supervision and attention throughout the day. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, rescue dogs, nervous dogs, medication administration and multi-dog households. Every dog is treated as an individual and I take time to learn their personality, routine and preferences so they feel safe, relaxed and settled during their stay. I carefully manage group dynamics and only accept dogs that I feel will be a good fit for the environment, ensuring a positive experience for everyone. I work from home full-time, which means dogs are rarely left alone and receive plenty of supervision, attention and companionship throughout the day. Each day includes garden access, exercise, playtime, rest periods and lots of interaction. I adapt routines to suit individual dogs, whether they prefer active days, quiet companionship or a little of both. I am flexible with feeding schedules, medication requirements and established routines to help your dog feel comfortable and settled during their stay. At Ruby’s Retreat, dogs stay in a calm family home with secure outdoor space and are treated as part of the family. I carefully manage introductions and group dynamics to ensure dogs are well matched and comfortable with one another. Every dog receives individual attention and I take time to understand their personality, routine and any specific needs before their stay. Dogs are welcome on furniture and have access to both indoor and outdoor spaces throughout the day. However, I am always happy to follow an owner’s preferred rules and routines to maintain consistency. Regular photo and video updates are provided throughout your dog’s stay, giving you complete peace of mind while you’re away.

“Michael is amazing! We left our collie cross (who can be a real handful for inexperienced sitters!) with him for a week whilst on holiday and Michael's been amazing with him, giving us lovely updates and pictures throughout. Best sitter we've ever used, we'd highly recommend!”
“Dan is amazing. His genuine love for dogs really shows: he’s patient, caring, and always puts the dog’s needs first (even if that means playing fetch for the 100th time). Our rescue Belgian Malinois, Apple, stayed with him for two weeks over Christmas and he handled her reactivity and need for a slow introduction perfectly and Apple now runs toward Dan, which says everything. By the time we left for our holiday leaving her behind for the first time, all my worries were gone. We picked her up happy, clean, and with everything neatly packed. Dan is the best, highly recommend.”
“Nicola was absolutely fantastic with Nellie this weekend! From the moment we dropped her off, I felt completely at ease. Nicola kept me updated with lovely messages and photos, and it was clear that Nellie was happy, relaxed, and getting plenty of attention. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. I’ll definitely be booking with Nicola again — highly recommend!”
“We went away for the week and to say that we had anxiety about leaving lady with someone is an understatement. However, we definitely didn’t need to worry. We knew from the moment we met Bianca and Chloe at the meet and greet that we had made the right decision. They kept us fully updated throughout our holiday with updates and pictures and we honestly couldn’t have asked for better dog sitters. We are going away quite a lot and the stress of finding a dog sitter has finally gone. I would highly recommend Bianca and Chloe if you are looking for someone to look after your dog while you are away as they are not your average dog sitter, they poured so much love into it and you can see they genuinely love what they do and care about the dogs in their care. Thank you so much for making our holiday a million times less stressful.”
“We've had the fortune of having Hannah care for Lily several times now and I can honestly say that she provides a home from home. Lily loves the time she gets to spend with Hannah and Ruby which gives us great peace of mind. We look forward to the regular 'Pup-dates' and hearing all about their adventures. Thanks Hannah, you're a real gem! x”
“Kodjo looked after my dog during a heatwave. He ensured that my dog was kept comfortable, he utilised fans and air conditioning inside his home to create a nice cool atmosphere for him. When the temperature was cool enough outside, Kodjo had him out on nice long walks to tire him out. He not only followed all care instructions - but went the extra mile during my pet’s stay. I would highly recommend.”
“I cannot speak highly enough of Caitlin! This was the first time leaving our dog with pet sitter and she took very good care of him. She sent us frequent photos, which put our minds at ease. Our Ozzy came back happy and well cared for!!! Highly recommended! Thank you, Caitlin!”
About: Having dogs since I was 4, I have always been comfortable and passionate. We are currently PAT volunteers with our dog Bjorn (golden retriever) and currently undertaking my pet first aid qualification. I can provide a full DBS check and provide dog walking insurance details. To clarify, the dog walking, boarding and day sitting will be solely done by myself. My wife will be present in the home but works from home. I am a full time dog walker and sitter. I can be flexible during any day of the week, and will give plenty of notice if circumstances change. Pet's come first in my household, wether it's a toilet break, play time or just attention. I can easily provide photos/videos throughout the day to keep your peace of mind, and also hold a fully quarter acre fenced garden, pleanty for any dog to run and have a sense of freedom or adventure.
“Karen was great. Kept us up to date either pictures and messages about how Jenny was getting on and took really good care of her. She came back a very happy and tired pup. Thanks!”
“Luna stayed with Clare for 10 days and had a fantastic time! She was so happy and settled very quickly! You could tell how well it went as she didn’t want to leave when we picked her up!! Would recommend to anyone who needs a great, safe and fun place for their dog to stay! We will definitely be using again on our next holiday!”
“I have left my princess cooper with Kelly a few times now and can honestly say that Kelly and her family are amazing with her. Cooper gets walks, playtime and treated like one of the family. I sometimes worry that at some point cooper will not want to come home as she loves spending time with Kelly and her family! I trust Kelly with cooper and will continue to do so on my next trip in Feb 2020. Thank you Kelly for being amazing with cooper.”
“Matty looked after Dave for us for 5 nights. He sent us pictures, videos and updates daily. Dave literally lived his best life with Matty, taking him out for walks and fun the garden. Would highly recommended Matty for any type pet welfare.”
“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”
“The best of the best!! Couldn’t recommend Madeline and Will enough!!! The pupdates are always soo cute. Oslo is always in safe hands and has so much fun. His fav place to be when I have to go away! ❤️❤️❤️”
“Our Female Pug Coco had one day and one night with Jen, biscuit (her dog a female Cockapoo) and her family. Jen was great in she arranged a pre meet first to check all was ok with Coco, biscuit etc, and to discuss her wants/ needs (ie walks, food and sleeping arrangments). She made Coco at home immediatley and ensured we were all going to be comfortable leaving her. Before the day great comms on when to drop Coco and all was fine when arrived. We were updated on her while she stayed with soem pictures of her all settled. I could see Coco was in safe hand and having fun. We will 100% be using Jen again in near future for Coco stays.”
“I liked Kelly and Tolu instantly. They are calm and caring, It's the first time I have sent Belle to a dog sitters, she had a lovely week, felt right at home. They sent me updates and photos , I was so happy not to have to worry about her. Highly recommend.”
“I can not thank Laura and Jay enough for looking after Millie. I was sent pictures and video of her stay and have to say, she looked like she was having so much fun. This was the first time I had left her with anyone, and I was nervous but I need not have been , as she was so well looked after. They are great people who I would highly recommend. There beautiful home is well situated and offers plenty of fields to run and play, and that was just me. If you are looking for someone who you can trust with your own pet, you need not look any further. Thanks again guys, so pleased I found you. Steve and Millie.”
