About: Having grown up around dogs of all sizes, spending time with pets is one of my greatest hobbies. I specifically have experience around both senior dogs and puppies having cared for my elderly pugs until they passed on, and then my boxer puppy who has since grown up. I can guarantee your dog a safe, caring experience (boarding or walks), with as frequent photo updates as you require. My profile picture is myself and Dug, my fiancé's eldest chihuahua (14yo). We currently don’t have any pets living here either, so hopefully the only concern you may have is that your dog may not want to leave! Happy to work around your dog’s walking, playtime, and behavioural needs. My schedule is extremely flexible closer to the weekends, and every weekday I can dedicate evenings for walks. I can pick up anywhere in the Merseyside & West Lancashire area, which has a marvellous countryside full of walks to be had. The house is situated in a cul de sac away from busy roads, while having a large fenced garden. The town itself is both quiet and safe, resulting in a great environment for your dog to be walked in. For boarding, the house is extremely well laid out and minimally decorated to allow for safe exploration. Your pet can happily jump onto our furniture and sleep on the bed if you would prefer. Dogs can be easily caged if necessary.
“Becky and Edward took great care of Benji while we were on holiday. Benji especially loved playing in the big garden each day with the other dogs. Becky kept us informed of his wellbeing with regular texts and photos. Thanks Becky and Edward.”
“Fabulous dog sitters, very caring and kept me updated on my dogs daily welfare. Kobi seemed happy even though he is a very nervous and clingy dog. I would recommend to anyone looking for a loving holiday home.”
“We left Ralph with Alba for a week, as she was highly recommended to us by 2 friends who have previously used her. She was absolutely amazing! I can’t recommend Alba enough and I would be using her for all future holidays. Ralph has had the best time and I think he is missing her! We received loads of photos and videos of Ralph which reassured us all of the time! 100% recommend to all as she is fabulous ❤️”
“Daniela is a fabulous dog sitter she had our dog for 4 nights and looked after him brilliantly. We was kept upto date with updates & photos throughout his stay & he looked happy & content. Would definitely recommend and we will definitely be using Daniela again in the future 😁”
“Karen is a kind, warm and caring dog sitter. She gives us updates about our pet and sends pictures as well. She makes us feel at ease while we are away from her. She also has a lot of knowledge about dogs and gives us advice. Will highly recommend her as a pet sitter.”
“We used Kelly to look after our female frenchie for a week while we went on holiday (Boarding.) Kelly has been great from start to finish. I requested a quick meet before hand which she happily obligated and invited me and Coco to meet her at her home before hand. Kelly was lovely, she has a lovely home and we also got to meet her children who were also lovely. After meeting her I felt very comfortable leaving Coco with her the following day. During our vacation Kelly sent us regular updates and vids of Coco on her walks and having fun. I could see Coco absolutely loved her time with Kelly and the family. I would happily recommend Kelly to everyone and will definitly be using her in the future. Kelly has surpassed my expectations so I would also like to post a big thank you here too. THANK YOU KELLY Paul, Lydiate”
About: I’ve taken care of different breads of dogs from a young age, growing up with both a high energy Labrador retriever and calmer Cookerpoo. Currently living with my partner and our energetic sprocker spaniel, Pepper. We walk pepper atleast twice a day, often in local woodlands and parks as well as playing fetch in our fenced garden. Available for dog walks, drop ins and overnight stays. I currently work flexibly from home 3 days per week and often finish before 4pm. On weekdays I can offer walks or drop ins to suit you and your dogs needs. I do not work weekends so can offer overnight stays Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights as well as walks and drop ins on these days. I will be available to feed, walk and play with your dog anytime during their stay. Any days when I am not at home I will not include in my schedule. I have a securely fenced garden for your dogs to play in and a dog of my own for yours to play with. Our dog is also crate trained so if your dog needs some time to themselves this can be accommodated for.
“Joyce and Steve were brilliant with Ralph. We had an initial meet up in which Ralph was introduced to them and they got to know everything they needed to about him. Throughout his stay I was kept updated and he came home a very tired dog. I will have no hesitation in using them again.”
“I would highly recommend Nicole to look after your pet. Nicole provided lots of pictures and updates and as this was the first time leaving my puppy this provided me with lots of reassurance. Connie loved staying with Nicole and without a doubt I will be asking Nicole to look after Connie again. 🥰”
About: I’ve grown up in a family of dog lovers, caring for furry friends of varied breeds and sizes from a young age. My current little one, Millie, started house-training at 10 weeks old and is now a happy, well-adjusted 8 year old, who loves her daily walks and playtime. I also have plenty of experience with senior dogs, from my dearly missed 15 year old staffy to my current 10 year old chihuahua, Shyla. Caring for dogs has always been a second nature to me & is something I truly love and take pride in. I work fully-remote from home during the week therefore I am always available to tend to pets throughout the day. I am fully available all day for the majority of weekends. I have a medium sized, fenced back garden with enough space for pets to roam and play. I currently have 2 small sociable dogs of my own, I have no concerns with bringing another dog into the home as long as there is an opportunity for them to be introduced and get familiar with each other.
“Catherine is a lovely person and is so caring and knowledgeable about animals. She immediately put us at ease about leaving Oscar for the first time in 2 years. While he stayed with her Catherine sent me regular updates and photos which completely reassured me that he had settled OK. I will happily leave Oscar with Catherine again.”
“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! 🐾❤️”
“Cooper really enjoyed his sleep over with Roz and Atlas. She is a great boarder, sharing pics and messages of his time with her. It’s great to see the bond they created largely thanks to treating him like her own dog. We would certainly use Roz again in the future!”
About: We are a warm, family-of-four household with many years of experience caring for dogs, having recently said goodbye to our beloved Lakeland Terrier of 15 years. She was part of our daily life, so we understand routines, walks, feeding schedules, and individual dog personalities. Our two young daughters have grown up with dogs and are calm, gentle, and respectful around visiting pets. A typical weekday includes a walk first thing in the morning, dropping the children at school, working from home with a lunchtime walk, and then picking the children up, followed by a further walk. Dogs are rarely left alone and are well supervised throughout the day. Weekends are typically spent exploring the outdoors together, followed by relaxing time at home. Family and friends’ dogs, including Labradors, Cockapoos, Pugs, and French Bulldogs, are regular visitors, so dogs enjoy socialization if they wish. Our fully secure back garden is ideal for play and relaxation, providing a safe, comfortable home-from-home where small and medium dogs are treated as part of the family. We are a working family with the flexibility of working from home, which allows us to provide a consistent and attentive environment for the dogs in our care. Whenever we have a dog boarding with us, we ensure that one of us is always at home, so they are never left alone for long periods. Your dog will enjoy plenty of company, supervision and interaction throughout the day, along with regular toilet breaks, playtime and cuddles. We understand how important routine and reassurance are when dogs are away from home, and we do everything we can to make their stay feel safe, relaxed and part of the family. We care for every dog as if they were our own, providing a true home from home within a warm, family living environment. From the moment they arrive, our focus is on helping them feel safe, settled and completely part of the household. Dogs stay with us in our family home — not in kennels — and share our everyday living spaces. They are included in daily life, whether that’s relaxing in the lounge, pottering around the house, or enjoying time in the garden. We take time to understand each dog’s individual routine, preferences and personality so their stay feels familiar and comfortable.
“Very nice people with a warm and loving family . Couldn't of asked for a better experience for my pup. Regular updates and pictures with fast responses to my questions. Highly recommended.”

“Our 5 cats loved having visits of Beth. They were well cared for and had plenty of playtime or said to hi to her. 2 of them are always wary of strangers but do eventually come out of their shell. And it’s very much appreciated having updates whilst away to know how they’re o and loved having pics of them. Sorry for the kitchen being slightly messy was rushing around that day.”
“Was great with out cat, she doesn't usually like new people but Natalie got her to relax with her after just 1 day. Natalie was very professional, sending photos and videos each day and keeping the litter tray clean and tidy.”
About: I have extensive experience handling and caring for cats in both a home and veterinary setting. I am confident working with a range of temperaments, including nervous or anxious cats, and I take a calm, gentle approach to minimise stress. I am also experienced in administering medication and monitoring health and behaviour.
About: I often look after animals for friends and family, from Bulldog to Bichon’s and also cats! My care experience has been long stays of up to 3 weeks and pop in visits for cats twice daily. I work full-time, usually a 7 hour shift ending around 3pm which gives a lot of time to spend keeping any pet company. I will primary take on jobs on my days off so they can get the best care possible. I believe pets are members of the family (often more loving!) and deserve just as much as humans. I respect how each person takes care of their pets and have different rules/routines and follow these to ensure pets and owners stay happy. I like to follow the rule leave the house nicer than you found it in respect to peoples homes.
“Fantastic! couldn't recommend Leanne more!. we were trying to find someone to come and feed our cat whilst we were away and she was able to come last minuet. was a life saver. she was great with out cat and keeping us up to date with how he was getting on. ★★★★★”
About: I’ve been a cat lover since I can remember. I had my special cat, Smudge from when I was 3 years old and she sadly passed at 22 years old. I volunteer at a local cat shelter and also have experience looking after my neighbour’s cat who has become my little bestie and loves spending time with me! My friends say I’m like Dr Doolittle with cats! I enjoy giving cats love of love, attention and playtime. Everyone who knows me knows how much I love cats.
“Rebecca was very resposive with messaging and getting back to me quickly. She treated my cat Molto with kindness which I very much appreciated. I do have to mention that I had asked her to refresh his water while she was here, which she missed. She also stayed for only about 11 min during the drop-in instead of the expected half hour. She was very nice all around though, but for the couple notes.”
“Absolutely Great! It's the first time i used this kind of thing and wasnt sure how it goes. Oliver was very friendly and patient and explained everything in detail. He constantly kept in touch and even got the most antisocial cat i know to befriend him! Legend! I fully recommend him and will be reaching out again”
About: Having grown up on a farm I have always been surrounded by animals. From dogs, cats, horses, cows, rabbits and Guinea Pigs I’ve looked after them all. When leaving school this drove my ambition to become a veterinary nurse, I worked in practice from 16 years old and gained masses of knowledge and experience in caring for all animals. I qualified and worked in practice for 10 years. I also set up a small kennels while living at the farm and really enjoyed all aspects of looking after the dogs. Since moving from the family home to my own home this is something I missed greatly. In 2022 we moved to our forever home I have gained The Animal Welfare License though West Lancs Council & at up my home boarding business to once again care for dogs I love so much. I’m currently a full time mummy with two children in primary school, this gives me plenty of time to fit in dog walks, visits and send quality time with your pets I have a large secure garden and a friendly little terrier who could keep you dog company. We also have a large kitchen/dinning area (with an aga to snuggle up to) and large utility room for drying off. We can see the canal from the front window so are super close for lovely long canal walks.
“Natasha has been AMAZING while we were gone. She looked after our three cats, very nervous and anxious cats while we were away and I have zero complaints at all. She kept me updated the whole time with photos and messages, how they were settling, and I felt completely at ease knowing she was there with them. She went above and beyond, stayed longer some days to make sure my cats were fed and happy before she left which she definitely did not have to do at all but is a credit to her character. Will definitely come back again if we plan another trip away at some point! Thanks so much!!”
About: I have previous experience owning cats when I lived in Brazil and have always loved being around them. I enjoy their unique personalities and understand the importance of providing them with a calm, safe and caring environment. Even now, neighbourhood cats often visit my garden, and I love spending time with them whenever they stop by. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and I will treat your cat with the same love and attention I would give my own pet.
“Our cat absolutely loved Honor and she did him ! You can 100% rely on Honor. She goes above and beyond in service. Loved the updates and photos of Louie. Worry free, well needed holiday. I'm giving my personal recommendation and definitely booking Honor for our next hols. Thanks so much Honor you are amazing xx”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was little with 3 Staffies, and most recently an energetic husky! I’m healthy so walking multiples times a day is no problem if needed. I also helped raised the puppy husky and helped care for my senior staffies, meaning I can also care for up to 2 dogs at a time. I also sheltered and cared for a cat for 2 years whilst in university, providing skills for all your animals :) I am currently in my final year of university and I am looking for more weekend routines rather than throughout the week. Pet care will allow me to get more fresh air and take a well needed break focusing on your pets, which will remind me of what my daily routine was living at home with my pets. I will ensure that pets are in rooms with shut doors if opening front door unless they are fully secured and ready for walks or if your back garden has fences or walls. I am able to give basic care regarding medicines and injuries if required. I will also follow any strict rules for your pets that you set up, as I know my husky isn’t allowed on the sofa!
About: I have always loved animals, and I have had fair share of experience of looking after them, currently I am a mummy to 10 year old Gizmo the pug, who is now a senior we have been through a lot and he is one strong cookie, so I have quite a lot of experience looking after an older boy or a girl, I am happy to work with both big and small dogs! I love to get outside and enjoy my time with the furry friends! My schedule changes week from week as I work full time as a registered nurse so I would try accommodate as able even at short notice I am very diligent on walks and your doggy would be in safe hands with me! I am happy to take it at your dogs pace as they get to know me
About: I have taken care of cats for 2 years, family and friends rely on me to take care of them and I never fail to disappoint. My family and friends relied on me to feed and bathe and also show a lot of love and attention.
About: Having had dogs all my life I have had plenty of experience. I have dog and house sat for friends and family over the years and officially been sitting on rover for a couple of years. I have had the pleasure to enjoy the company of their pets and care for their every need whilst on vacation! I have had experience with both larger and small dog breeds and have no problem sitting multiple pets at one time. I have also been house and dog sitting on other sites to grow trust with people who are in need of someone to care for their dogs whilst they’re away. Work from home 50% of time also so have that flexibility to care for your pets throughout the week with help from my partner on office days meaning your pets will never be alone longer than 4 hours at a time. Able to do house visits and walks through the week and on weekends. Parter also sits with myself so have two pairs of hands to help with walks if there is more attention required. I have cared for pets all my life and dog sat in other peoples homes also. Have the capability to walk, care, feed and bath pets and even give medication if required.

Being around animals makes me happy. I left school and went to an agriculture college where I gained a degree In Equine science.

“Dennis stayed with Daniela for 2 days! We were very nervous leaving him for the first time with worries of him being an energetic boisterous mischievous puppy. I can not recommend Daniela enough. She was incredibly amazing with him. She made him feel part of the family instantly. Her passion and love for animals really shines through. Daniela looked after Dennis incredibly well as it shown in the regular pictures and updates she gave us. Dennis had lots of cuddles, lots of fun and most important I feel he felt loved which was important to us. She made Dennis feel settled and right at home. Her ability to adhere to his care needs as a puppy was tremendous. Dennis can be crazy but she embraced this with laughter and calmness and patience. We feel very lucky to have found her. We could not recommend Daniela enough she and her family are wonderful people ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

Hightly recommended - we've already booked Indy for an overnight stay in a few weeks.”

About: Since a very young girl I begged my dad for a dog. After many years, he finally caved and we got our first family dog. Billy was our whole world for 10 years and was considered the third child of the family. I took him on hikes, swimming, and of course he cuddled with me every night. My love for dogs is something that can’t be contained, and sadly for my boyfriend we have to stop at every single dog that walks past. I have over 10 years of experience with a dog, including many other people’s dogs; walling them, taking care of them whilst they are on holiday, and treating them like my bestfriend (they all are). I’m excited to hang out with some new friends and take them on my daily walks and adventures. I’m currently self employed which allows me time most days of the week to walk your dogs & spend a fun day with them! I have a car to drive to take us on outings and adventures when it fits. I have a moderately big back garden for your dog to play in, all fenced and gated. I live right infront of the fields with lovely walks all around.
“Easy drop off and collection for our beagle Winnie. She was welcomed back at the end of her stay too which is always lovely to hear! Received lovely photos and videos during the day to keep us updated on her day!”
“Really really happy with our overall experience with James. Good communication, beautiful big home, as soon as I got there both myself & my American bully x staff, Lync, felt at ease. James is a lovely character, very trusting and friendly. Would recommend anyone to go with James for their own furry friends! 🐶🐱🐹🐰 Thanks again James for having Lync! He had the best time & I had a nice tired pup when we got home😂😇 Much appreciated, will definitely use again! Brilliant experience🤙🏽”
About: I've cared for animals most of my life - since retiring I now have the most adorable cockapoo, Lily, she is very socialised and loves other dogs- Lily would be happy to share me with any canine guests! I know how important it is to find the right carer for your pooch because they're members of the family and you want only the best - trusted, loving and reliable - and that's what I can offer. I don't have pet care qualifications - but I possess all the practical and common sense skills required to care for your dog, as well as oodles of cuddles and plenty of walks! I have regularly looked after my friends dogs, a Staffordshire bull terrier, greyhound and Labrador so I’m used to handling different breeds of dogs and managing their needs. My secure garden backs on to woodland and open fields - offering perfect play opportunities - in a lovely part of Wigan Borough. Our dog-friendly home offers open access to dogs that are house trained. I always recommend meet and greets to ensure everybody is happy as well as trial visits/nights to assess how well your pooch will settle in. All dogs have their unique personality traits and some have issues with, for instance, separation anxiety, phobias, etc - so I'm happy to discuss strategies to help manage potential issues. I can administer medications - oral and injection - and will follow advice on medical conditions such as food allergies to the letter. I am retired and home-based and enjoy spending time with my girl, Lily - and I would love to invite other small/medium dogs with a similar happy nature into my home. As a full-time dog owner, I already have an existing routine taking Lily out a minimum of twice daily. We love going to the beach and she regularly joins us when we're out and about. We don’t leave her for long, and only then very rarely. I’m happy to work with owners to agree a suitable routine for their dog. Our home offers a safe and secure environment with a very relaxed and dog-friendly atmosphere. I can be trusted to deliver care in the owner's home, and will happily discuss all aspects in terms of access and security. I will only walk up to 2 dogs at a time and carry spare leashes, water bowls etc. I'm very vigilant around traffic and other dogs/groups of dogs whilst out and about.
About: I have 5 of my own pets who I absolutely adore. I’ve been caring for animals for years and love them all of all sizes and shapes.

We also have experience with cats, dogs, rodents (particularly Guinea pigs) and other exotic animals. We work from home so can be available whenever you need us. Our jobs are also very flexible so we can devote time in the day to your pets for multiple walks and playtime. I work from home so am very available to assist with any pet care that is required, additionally my day is flexible so I can get out in the day too. I would look to follow the pets routine and devote my time to them one on one. We also have a fenced garden and green space around our house if they need to come here.

“We had never left Poppy with anyone other than family members. As my daughter now works full time we reached out to find someone suitable to walk her daily. Poppy is a 10 year old Spanish rescue & can be nervous when meeting new people. Nicola called to meet Poppy and her calm, friendly nature made me feel that she would be the right person to help. Poppy went to her straight away which is unusual. Nicola kept me up to date with pictures and messages. I could see from the pictures that poppy was relaxes and happy. Knowing she was being cared for meant we could enjoy our holiday and we would highly recommend her.”

About: I love dogs. I have two dogs myself and I am looking forward to the opportunity of taking care of more dogs. My dogs enjoy the company of other dogs. Likewise, I like spending time with the dogs and I find it very rewarding. I am interested in the dog’s psychology. I always try to find ways to teach the dog new things by rewarding them. I will take care of your dog as it would be my dog. I love taking the dog out for long walks. I am quite sporty myself and walking with the dog is a way to exercise. I truly believe that it is important to find a dog sitter you can trust same to the idea of hiring a baby sitter. I am happy to meet your dog before you make the decision and see whether I match your needs. As I have a true passion for dogs I feel I would get along with your dog fine.
“Natasha was amazing with Hilbert. Hilbert had a small medical condition but Natasha was so patient and very good with him and helped us to monitor him and didn’t let the medical condition get worse. Hilbert really liked her and was very happy spending time with her and walking with her. We would love to book with her again on her next availability. Thank you 🙏🏻”
About: Having had dogs all my life I have had plenty of experience. I have dog and house sat for friends and family over the years and officially been sitting on rover for a couple of years.

I have also been house and dog sitting on other sites to grow trust with people who are in need of someone to care for their dogs whilst they’re away.

Able to do house visits and walks through the week and on weekends. Parter also sits with myself so have two pairs of hands to help with walks if there is more attention required. I have cared for pets all my life and dog sat in other peoples homes also. Have the capability to walk, care, feed and bath pets and even give medication if required.
About: Having grown up on a farm I have always been surrounded by animals. From dogs, cats, horses, cows, rabbits and Guinea Pigs I’ve looked after them all.

I qualified and worked in practice for 10 years. I also set up a small kennels while living at the farm and really enjoyed all aspects of looking after the dogs.

I’m currently a full time mummy with two children in primary school, this gives me plenty of time to fit in dog walks, visits and send quality time with your pets I have a large secure garden and a friendly little terrier who could keep you dog company. We also have a large kitchen/dinning area (with an aga to snuggle up to) and large utility room for drying off.

About: I have experience of looking after my parents dog, Walking, feeding, bathing, playing. I am aware of how dogs communicate and can adjust my behaviour as necessary to suit the dog. I am currently working part time setting my own days so I am able to work this around schedules for any needs that may arise. In a pet owners home, I would care for the pets by adjusting my demeanor to that of what the pet is used to. I understand that some pets take more time to get used to other people and would approach this effectively, giving the pet time to adjust.

“Ella is a fantastic dog walker I’d highly recommend. Duncan, true to the joys of a whippet, made catching him for his coat a challenge. She still went above and beyond with patience and care 💙”
About: I've had dogs most of my life, we recently lost my families 13 year old patterdale but luckily I've got 2 very energetic Show Cocker Spaniels to keep me busy. Finn (Blue Roan) is 5 and Reggie (Ginger ninja) is 3. They both went to Dogs Trust puppy classes as soon as they were old enough and I've kept up with this training. Reggie has been anxious since getting him with a lot of travel sickness too. I've slowly worked on his confidence and we actually made it to Wales in November without any issues! We love going on walks to the dog park and socialising, a quiet stroll on the canal or training in the garden. I also have a nephew (Archie - border collie) who I've looked after overnight every chance I got when he was younger, he's now 9 and struggling with his mobility so I'm well versed in looking after arthritic dogs who require medication and more mental stimulation. I'm currently working flexible remote hours as a Graphic designer so I can fit around your schedule and even work from your home if your dog needs more company. Hoping to transition into full-time dog walking / sitting Happy to follow your lead in terms of what training you follow and how you structure their day but can also play and teach them some fun things if you are ok with it.

About: Having grown up around dogs of all sizes, spending time with pets is one of my greatest hobbies. I specifically have experience around both senior dogs and puppies having cared for my elderly pugs until they passed on, and then my boxer puppy who has since grown up. I can guarantee your dog a safe, caring experience (boarding or walks), with as frequent photo updates as you require. My profile picture is myself and Dug, my fiancé's eldest chihuahua (14yo). We currently don’t have any pets living here either, so hopefully the only concern you may have is that your dog may not want to leave! Happy to work around your dog’s walking, playtime, and behavioural needs. My schedule is extremely flexible closer to the weekends, and every weekday I can dedicate evenings for walks. I can pick up anywhere in the Merseyside & West Lancashire area, which has a marvellous countryside full of walks to be had. The house is situated in a cul de sac away from busy roads, while having a large fenced garden. The town itself is both quiet and safe, resulting in a great environment for your dog to be walked in. For boarding, the house is extremely well laid out and minimally decorated to allow for safe exploration. Your pet can happily jump onto our furniture and sleep on the bed if you would prefer. Dogs can be easily caged if necessary.
“Becky and Edward took great care of Benji while we were on holiday. Benji especially loved playing in the big garden each day with the other dogs. Becky kept us informed of his wellbeing with regular texts and photos. Thanks Becky and Edward.”
“Karen is a kind, warm and caring dog sitter. She gives us updates about our pet and sends pictures as well. She makes us feel at ease while we are away from her. She also has a lot of knowledge about dogs and gives us advice. Will highly recommend her as a pet sitter.”
“I would highly recommend Nicole to look after your pet. Nicole provided lots of pictures and updates and as this was the first time leaving my puppy this provided me with lots of reassurance. Connie loved staying with Nicole and without a doubt I will be asking Nicole to look after Connie again. 🥰”
“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! 🐾❤️”
“Cooper really enjoyed his sleep over with Roz and Atlas. She is a great boarder, sharing pics and messages of his time with her. It’s great to see the bond they created largely thanks to treating him like her own dog. We would certainly use Roz again in the future!”
“Very nice people with a warm and loving family . Couldn't of asked for a better experience for my pup. Regular updates and pictures with fast responses to my questions. Highly recommended.”
“Indy had a great time with Sophie. It was the first time she'd stayed overnight but settled in really well. Sophie sent us some pics and video from their lovely walks and kept us up to date. Would highly recommend.”
About: Have grown up in a house filled with cats and dogs and every animal in between since the day I was born. I’ve had experience with just about every breed and age from birth until elderly.

“Georgina was very friendly and efficient in her response time to my questions. She took the time to find out about Bear and his routine which I appreciated. Bear was immediately welcomed to her home and seemed to very much enjoy all the attention he was getting. I received regular pictures from Georgina so I could see how Bear was getting on which I liked. Bear was very much one of the pack for the night and couldn't have wished for him to be cared for any better m! Thank you!!!!!!!!”
“It was Roxy's first time away from home and we were both nervous, but Helen was an excellent host. She made Roxy immediately feel welcome and comfortable and she sent me lots of photos to reassure me that all was ok. I would definitely be happy for Helen look after Roxy again. Thank you Helen!”

“I used Adam’s services for 10 days while I went road tripping around Europe and received a few pics and lots of updates while I was away. I will use his services again and Bruno the dog is very happy too”
“Erin looked after our Lhasa Apso 'George' for 4 days. We were worried at first that he would not settle and may be a bit of a handful. How wrong we were, he appears to have made himself at home from the very first minute, indeed he seemed reluctant to leave. Thank you Erin for looking after 'George' , opening up your home to him and making his stay so comfortable. We look forward to seeing you again in the future.”
