“Jenson has a great time with Nicola, Rebecca and Teddy. We get regular updates and photos and he has a better social life than me! I feel really comfortable leaving Jenson in that I know he will be safe in their care and that he gets the exercise and attention that he needs. I would highly recommend.”
“Bruna looked after our puppy Luna for 11 nights. We did an initial meet and greet and straight away knew Luna would be well cared for with Bruna and her family. We received daily updates and photos whilst we were away and felt very reassured. Luna is only a young puppy and high energy but Bruna continued with our routine and training methods whilst we were away. I would definitely use Bruna again to look after our dog and would recommend her to any dog owners. X”
“Claudia was a fantastic dog sitter who regularly sent updates about our dog, Gus. It’s the first time we have left him with someone who isn’t family and we felt completely relaxed and happy with the choice - Gus looked like he had a whale of a time between playing on the dog field and playing in the back garden! Thank you so much, we will definitely be using you again Claudia! Xx”
“I cannot recommend this lovely couple highly enough, they are so kind and caring to our little treasure when we have to go away. I wouldnt dream of taking our miso anywhere else. It makes going away so much easier knowing the love they give her and receiving photos daily really does help. ❤️”
“Kwan and family looked after my dog Sue for a week. I have nothing but positive things to say and would 100% recommend, she cared and treated Sue like her own and having regular photo updates while I was away was great! ☺️ 🐶 x”
“Lola had a lovely time with Karolina and her family. They were welcoming and clearly love dogs. Very happy to leave her with them again. Karolina sent pictures and updates during her stay and she was very well looked after.”
“Couldn’t be happier with Wesley and how he cares for Bryn whenever I’m away. Bryn absolutely loves him, I can clearly see how happy he gets every time he sees Welsey; this only means that he’s taken good care of him. Would definitely contact him again!!”
“Daisy loved being with Joyce and Lilly, she seemed a happy little doggy when I picked her up. We would definitely recommend Joyce and we will be booking Daisy in again ***** 🌟 Kathy.”
“Claire was absolutely brilliant with our dog Pancake. With lots of updates and photographs of what he had been up to. She is Really nice and makes you feel very comfortable leaving him. I would highly recommend her. We actually think Pancake has the holiday blues leaving her. Thank you”
“I was sceptical about this app until I met Bettyna. She had my labrador girl Olivia for 3 days and she was sending me updates and pictures everyday. I am very happy with her services and I'm truly happy I have my peace of mind now when I need to travel. In fact booked her already for the second time💯”
“I couldn’t recommend Olaniyi enough. This was my first time leaving Bailey with him and, naturally, I was a little worried about how he would settle, but Olaniyi was absolutely brilliant with him. He kept me updated throughout our holiday with messages and photos, which really gave me peace of mind. Bailey was initially a little nervous and even fussy with his food, but Olaniyi was so patient with him, took the time to understand him and even found a food he enjoyed. By the end of his stay, Bailey was completely settled, happy and following him everywhere! 😂❤️ It was obvious when we collected Bailey that he had been genuinely cared for and treated like part of the family. I would happily leave Bailey with Olaniyi again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone kind, patient and trustworthy to care for their dog. Thank you again! 🐶❤️”
“I was terrified of sending my rescue cat for boarding as he had never been away from his home in the 7 years he has been with me. He is an indoors-outdoors cat who has access to his cat flap at any time. Very shy with humans and friendly to other cats. And not used to be kept indoors. Vivian’s cat room is perfect, with a large bay window, shelves for the cat to climb upon, corners to hide if nervous and plenty of space to roam around. Vivian did an amazing job with my cat, being very patient to give him confidence and feel comfortable in the new surroundings and with new people. She gave him plenty of cuddles and reassurance throughout the stay. And monitored his food and drink intake as well as his litter use. Vivian also introduced him to their really sweet and cute kitten to give him a playmate. Vivian kept me updated throughout with pictures, videos and reported on his progress. I could not have dreamt of a better place and better couple to keep my cat safe, happy and comfortable during my absence. I would not hesitate to recommend Vivian’s services for boarding and will happily use again when required in future.”
“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.”
“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.”
About: From a young age I have worked at an animal sanctuary which rescued and re-homed a variety of abandoned animals from rabbits, guinea pigs, cats dogs and even farm animals ☺️ I wish I could have continued to do this into my adult years. Over the years I have had pets of my own and regularly look after my daughter dog and even take her away on short breaks with us. I enjoy long walks and always find myself jealous when people walk by with their pets as I walk alone. My mum is an Area Manager for Guide Dogs, before that she started her own dog training business which she ran evening classes which I would attend with her, so I have training experience. I currently work part time at home. I like to go for at least 2 walks a day which would be much more enjoyable with a dog to accompany me. There are no children at our home through the week, my partners daughter is here at the weekends she is 8 and also adores dogs, she practically begged me to sign up to Rover ☺️ We have a large fenced back garden which overlooks a local park with plenty of land for walking pets on short walks. We are also 1 minute walk away from farmers fields which is perfect for longer walks If you prefer for me to come and sit at your property with your pet this can also be arranged. I am also available to have your pet stay over on a weekend provided they are friendly and safe to be around children, we have children here alternative weekends, so if you have booked a weekend away or last minute been asked to work away and it falls on the weekend the child is not here if your dog is a little nervous around children then we would be more that happy to accommodate your pet ☺️ I care for pets as if they are my own. Pets will always be kept on a lead whilst out on a walk with me even after the trust has been built to ensure safety at all times. Please make me aware at the time of booking if your dog is not good with other dogs, children or any other areas of concern so that I can make sure you pet always feels safe and happy in my care. I have worked as housekeeper and nanny previously, for a home with 2 dogs. I had a key to the property, looked after their 4 children and 2 dogs. I am honest and trustworthy so if you are planning for me to come to your home when you are at work to let your pet out or take them for a walk I am more than happy to do so. If you would prefer for your pet to come to my home for the day so they can be fussed and walked and have some company while your at work, we have a bungalow so they have the run of the house and our fully fenced back garden which backs onto a park and the farmers fields are 1 minute walk away, so our location and property is ideal for pets.
“KO has been amazing with Leo, we got pictures everyday and he is well looked after. She gave him clothes and made our dog feel comfortable. We felt very at ease thanks to KO’s communication and will definitely ask her look after leo again!🩷”

“We had a great experience with Cristina! Our two cats were very happy and enjoyed her visits. It is clear Cristina is a genuine cat lover, she followed our requirements exactly and was extremely respectful in our home. Will 100% look to rebook when needed. Thank you Cristina!!”
“I booked a week of drop-in visits with Vivian for my cat, Vanilla, and I couldn’t be happier with the care she provided. She followed all the instructions we discussed during the meet and greet perfectly, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. Vanilla was in safe, caring hands throughout my holiday. Vivian was trustworthy, reliable, and very easy to communicate with. She also sent regular photos and videos to keep me updated, which I really appreciated. I highly recommend Vivian to anyone looking for a caring and dependable pet sitter.”
“Kat is so amazing with Billy & Tabitha! She puts in so much effort to interact with them, especially Tabitha who can be quite shy. I wouldn't hesitate to use Kat in the future. I can go on trips knowing they are being well looked after and love the pics and updates after a visit ☺️ ”
“Couldn’t have found a better cat sitter-I feel so blessed to have found her on here!! Trustworthy, affectionate, loving, affordable - such a wonderful woman! Sent us pictures videos and updates everyday ❤️ I even asked if she babysits too! Recommend her so much! Seffy was disappointed when I opened the door instead 😂 Can’t wait to book her again!”
“Once again Suzanne has been wonderful with our cat Jonathon. Always on time for visits and lots of photos to reassure us. Jonathan absolutely loves Suzanne and enjoys being played with and brushed. I would definitely recommend Suzanne she’s 5 stars.”
“Joanne is a lovely person. She took care of my cat Milley for 3 days a week for 3 weeks during my holiday and everything seems normal. She posted photos and updates of her every visit. Thank you so much Joanne for taking care of Milley during those days! I really recommend your services for everyone that needs it.”
“Just couldn't be a more trust worthy and nice lady. She went above and beyond. Her updates were so detailed and often so funny. She had her work cut out trying to find my cat to take a photo of him! And my cat is not the easiest beast. 100% recommended and will definitely use again”
“Jess was fantastic! She took great care of my cat, Chanel, and my home while I was away. I came home to a happy, well-looked-after cat. She was very professional and sent me a daily report card with updates, which gave me great peace of mind. I’d highly recommend Jess and would happily book with her again. Thank you!”
“I cannot recommend this lovely couple highly enough, they are so kind and caring to our little treasure when we have to go away. I wouldnt dream of taking our miso anywhere else. It makes going away so much easier knowing the love they give her and receiving photos daily really does help. ❤️”
“Isla has taken amazing care of our three cats. Her love for animals is clear to see, she has established a great connection with them in a short space of time through her empathy, calming pressece and kindness. Isla's profile stood out straight away and after learning about her own pets we were confident she could support the needs of our elderly cat. Isla has done an amazing job and we look forward to her visiting again. Thank you Isla!”
“Rebecca took excellent care of my three cats. She always reassured me that everything was fine and regularly sent photos and videos, which really put my mind at ease. I’m very grateful for her care and would highly recommend her. Thank you! 🐾”
“I can’t say enough good things about this lady. It was originally for a few days that turned into two weeks and Jane was kind enough to extend the booking. My two monsters really liked her and were well taken care of. I shall definitely be using her again!”
About: I provide calm, reliable pop-in care for cats in their own homes, helping them stay relaxed while you’re away. I’ve also been a cat owner myself for many years, so I understand their routines, behaviours, and how important it is to keep things familiar for them. I carry out pop-in visits for feeding, fresh water, litter checks, and giving attention and play (if they want it!). I’m always patient and happy to go at each cat’s pace, whether they’re confident or a little more shy. I’m fully insured, DBS checked, and already trusted by local pet owners for dog walking and pet care, so your cat will be in safe hands.
About: I absolutely adore animals, growing up surrounded by both dogs and cats. I currently own 3 cats with my partner, and had my beautiful golden retriever Talar with me for 14 years until she very sadly passed. I like to spend my spare time horse riding, and have frequently cared for pets for friends whilst away on holiday. As a genuine animal lover with over 10 years of pet care experience, I provide a calm, safe, and loving environment where your pet can feel comfortable, settled, and well cared for while you are away. I understand that every pet is different, with their own personality, routines, and individual needs. I take the time to get to know each pet and make sure their care is tailored to what helps them feel relaxed, happy, and secure. Your pet’s wellbeing and your peace of mind are very important to me. I provide regular photo and video updates throughout their stay, so you can see how they are settling in and enjoy reassurance that they are happy, safe, and receiving plenty of love and attention.
About: I originally got my first 2 cats when they was just 2 weeks old they was left orphaned after their mum sadly passed away so me & my then partner took them & bottle fed them up until they was ready for kitten food. One of them had a sore eye that she struggled to open so we bathed her eye until it was all better. They got neutered, flead, wormed & microchipped by the cats protection. I lost my girl may last year as she'd gone into remission after having diabetes but then (& I was told this could happen) she had a relapse & sadly she passed away. I still have her brother who unfortunately has hyperthyroidism but that is well controlled through his medication. His sister didn't quite make 12 & my male cat is 13 years old now. I feed them 3 times a day, morning, afternoon & evening, I do their cat litter trays daily so clear away any faeces, top up with fresh litter & change all of their water bowls to fresh water. I have a 7 year old cat whom I got from a friend who'd just found out she was pregnant and then my original stray cat who I have homed for around 10 years. All of them have their own little characters & ways of eating, sleeping etc. I administered insulin for my diabetic cat & also administer thyronorm for my male cat who has hyperthyroidism. Although I have worked in many different animal environments like kennels, dog groomers & dogs trust my actual experience with my own cats is just over 13 years.
“Pui is a brilliant cat sitter. I booked her for daily visits while I was away. She sent me videos of my cats progress and my cat was well looked after while I was away. Trust worthy cat sitter! I will be booking again 🥰”

About: I have looked after a wide range of animals for family and friends for most of my life. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and find it incredibly rewarding to care for them and ensure they are happy, safe, and well looked after. I have a friendly, well-socialised dog who loves to play and spend time with other dogs. He also enjoys being around cats, although they don't always share his enthusiasm! I I recently resigned from a high-pressure role to focus on improving my work-life balance and overall well-being. I believe there is no better way to do that than by spending time caring for animals, especially dogs. I genuinely enjoy being around them and find working with animals both rewarding and fulfilling. I have a secure, fenced garden where dogs can safely play and relax. I also have a friendly little dog who enjoys the company of other dogs and is well-socialised.

About: I have always been around dogs, whether that be my family dogs or friends/colleagues. I do a lot of dog sitting for colleagues when they go away so they are able to stay in the comfort of their own home. My love for dogs is huge and you wouldn’t regret leaving them in my care. I do work full time but from home so am able to ensure someone will always be around to take care of your fur baby. I will be sure to follow any routine & rules you have regarding your pets and my priority will be keeping them safe and comfortable. I will ensure they receive as much exercise as they require by walks and lots of playtime.

About: Hi! I'm a genuine dog lover with hands-on experience caring for both my own dog and my family dog. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, so I always take the time to make them feel comfortable and loved while you're away. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playing fetch, or simply relaxing with company, I'll make sure they receive plenty of affection. I have a large, quiet field directly behind my home, which is perfect for safe walks and letting energetic dogs enjoy plenty of space (where appropriate and with your permission). I know how important it is for owners to feel confident that their pet is in good hands. I'll happily follow your dog's usual routine, including feeding schedules and any special instructions to help them feel at home. If your dog is used to sleeping in someone's bedroom or needs extra reassurance at night, I'm more than happy to accommodate this so they feel as comfortable and settled as possible. I understand how difficult it can be to leave your pet, so I'll provide regular updates and photos to give you peace of mind while you're away. Although I'm new to Rover, I've spent years caring for dogs through my own pet and my family dog. This has given me practical experience with training, walks, playtime, grooming, and recognising when a dog needs extra attention or reassurance. I work from home Monday-Friday so I can keep your dog company all day and also take care of their needs and walk them before/after work or on a lunch time. I am available most weekends so get in touch to find out my availability. I have a fenced garden and have my own very friendly dog who loves company. He loves to chill out but also likes to run around with other dogs. I am happy to crate your dog or let them sleep wherever is most comfortable for them.
About: I’m a huge dog lover and have plenty of hands-on experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes and personalities. I have dogs of my own, so I completely understand how important it is to know that your pet is safe, happy and genuinely cared for while you’re away or at work. I’m confident with puppies and energetic dogs, including toilet training, basic training, feeding routines, walks and plenty of play and enrichment. I’m also happy to follow your dog’s usual routine and any specific instructions you have. I’ll treat every dog in my care as if they were my own, with lots of attention, patience and affection. I’m also more than happy to send regular photos and updates so you can relax knowing your dog is having a lovely time. 🐶❤️ I work shifts, which gives me plenty of flexibility and days off throughout the week to dedicate to pet care. Dogs are a big part of our lifestyle — we have a static caravan in the Lake District as well as a motorhome, and our dogs regularly come away with us. When I’m caring for a dog over several nights, and with the owner’s permission, I’d be more than happy for them to join us on our little adventures too! 🐾 Whether we’re at home or away, I’ll always follow your dog’s normal routine and make sure they get plenty of walks, attention, playtime and cuddles. ❤️ Your pet’s safety and happiness will always be my priority.

“Brilliant efficient service, and really calming, friendly effect on our pet who can be nervous. Highly recommend. Nothing is too much trouble for Isla. We are so grateful for your help. Thank you. Look no further... Isla is so professional and knowledgeable.”
About: I've always loved animals and have had a passion for them for a while. I've been brought up my whole life around all types of animals thanks to having a brother who's a vet, whether it's cats or dogs or even horses; so I've had my fare share of helping to look after them all. I've spent my whole life mainly around cats due to having them while I was growing up, however I do also know about dogs thanks to my neighbours and lovely friends who whenever they're in need of help to look after their dogs I'm more than willing to do so. Im currently a full time uni student who is expected to be in 3 days a week (Monday, Tuesdays and Thursdays). I’m available all day Wednesday and Fridays, and my availability on Tuesdays and Thursdays can be any time after 3pm with Mondays being later at about 6pm. If weekend walks or visits are needed i am more than willing to do so however these will need to be discussed in advance! Please be mindful of the fact that my availability can change. Also FYI I am available for anywhere in Westhoughton should anyone around that area require my services as I don’t want anyone to think I’m only available for Wigan/Hindley area My first priority for dogs is making sure they are safe and can trust and be comfort ale with me as their sitter. I will always make sure to keep my eyes on them no matter where they are. Leads will always be kept on while waking, if we are in a field and there’s no dogs then I’m happy to take the lead off with the knowledge that the dog is good with other dogs around them. However I do know not all dogs are trained correctly so leads will be kept on if I feel that the other dogs may pose a risk. I will always make sure to keep your house the same way you left it, and I will make sure to make you aware if anything happens. Whether that’s your pup doing an accident inside the house or even if it’s just a simple update letting you know what your pups been up to during the time they’ve been with me.

About: Hello! I am a passionate and dedicated animal lover who considers caring for pets an absolute joy rather than just a job. Having grown up surrounded by animals, I have built a deep understanding of pet behavior, body language, and individual needs, ensuring every animal in my care feels safe, loved, and right at home. I offer a range of personalized services designed to fit your pet's exact routine, including home boarding, drop-in visits, and secure dog walking. Standard walks typically last between 30 to 60 minutes, packed with plenty of exercise, sniffing time, and fun, while drop-in visits include feeding, fresh water, playtime, and toilet breaks. I primarily care for dogs and cats who are friendly, well-socialized, and comfortable around a home environment. My setup is warm, secure, and pet-friendly, though overly aggressive animals or those with severe, unmanaged behavioral issues may not be the best fit for my space. You can rely on me to maintain your pet's daily routine closely, keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages while you are away, and handle any situation with a calm, safety-first approach. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! I keep a flexible schedule that allows me to be largely at home with pets. I am fully available to provide dedicated attention, regular toilet breaks, play sessions, and constant supervision throughout the day. Safety is my top priority. I maintain a secure, escape-proof environment, closely monitor pets for any signs of stress or hazards, and strictly follow any specific dietary or care instructions provided by the owner.
About: I’ve cared for animals my whole life and currently have 3 dogs of my own whom have very different personalities and energy levels. I hold a level 1 degree in animal management and I’ve directly worked on a farm with many different breeds and temperaments (including working dogs and guard dogs). This gave me experience in clear handling, reading body language early and making sure every dog feels understood and safe. All pets in my care get treated like my own consistency, kindness and respect. I can follow routines whatever they may be, and I’m extremely reliable and communicative. I’m comfortable with every breed and personality! I keep updates consistent so you always know how your pet is and what they are doing so your never wondering what’s happening. Looking after other people’s pets fits really naturally into my weekly routine. I already have structured daily routines so adding walks, drop-ins or care for your pets is easy for me to integrate without rushing or cutting corners. I stay consistent, organised and present so your pet gets calm, relaxed care every single time. My dogs get walked twice a day and have plenty of active playtime in the garden in between. I also use enrichment + puzzle games daily to give them mental stimulation, problem solving and calm focus so it’s not just physical exercise it’s balanced brain work to. When they aren’t in play or training they nap and decompress.
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and caring for them has always come naturally to me. My first pet was a Labrador–Alsatian cross, who I absolutely adored and who sparked my love for dogs from a young age. Since then, I’ve also owned two Jack Russell Terriers, Jack and Russell, who I regularly walked together. Dogs are a big part of my family life, and I’ve often helped out by pet-sitting, feeding, and walking relatives’ dogs. I’m very comfortable and confident around all types of dogs and genuinely enjoy spending time with them. I would love the opportunity to meet and care for new dogs, giving them the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. I am currently working part-time while finishing my studies at university, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pets. I am available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week and weekends. I always prioritise your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine. I will follow any instructions you provide closely, including feeding schedules, walking preferences, and any specific needs your dog may have. I make sure pets are kept secure on walks and in the home, and I take the time to build trust so they feel calm and comfortable with me. I’m confident handling different breeds and temperaments, and I’ll always treat your pet as if they were my own.
About: Dogs have always been a big part of my family and for the past 5 years I've been the person which they turn to when they need someone they can trust to care for their dogs. I've cared for a wide range of dogs, from small breeds like pugs and shih tzus to energetic border collies and larger boxer/bully crosses. This has provided me experience adapting to different personalities, energy levels and individual needs. I enjoy spending time with dogs, whether that's taking them for a good walk, playing with them, keeping them company at home or simply giving them the attention they need. I'm happy to provide regular updates when watching you're furry friends, so you can have peace of mind knowing your dog is happy, safe and being well looked after. I've recently finished university and am currently waiting to start my graduate career, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availibility for dog care on weekdays, weekends and prolonged stays if required. Tuesdays from 5pm to 8pm is my only time I'm unavailible as I play football but other than that, I'm free to provide all the needs of your dog. I provide my care in the owner's home, where my aim is keeping your dog happy and comfortable in their normal routine. I'll follow any insturction around feeding, medication, exercise and any other requirements. I'll take the time to get to know you're dog and get to know their usual routine. Every dog is different, so I'm happy to give them plenty of attention and playtime or give them quiet time if needed. I'll treat your home with respect and leave it the same as I found it. I'll also provide you with pictures and updates to give you peace of mind your dog is well cared for.
About: I've owned and cared for dogs, cats and horses from a young age, from large breeds such as German Shepherds to small breeds like Toy Poodles. I have experience with puppies, senior, nervous and reactive dogs, including raising two litters of puppies. I understand that every dog is different and will always adapt to their individual needs. 💜 I currently work part-time, giving me plenty of flexibility for walks and drop-in visits. I can offer a range of times throughout the week and will always do my best to accommodate your routine. Your pet's safety and happiness are my priority. I take care to follow their usual routines and needs, with secure handling, plenty of attention and access to safe outdoor spaces for walks.
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.
“Booked Simone to take Rolo out 3 times this week . Simone was always on time was really friendly and proffessional . Simone was great with Rolo he loved going out with her , Simone sent lots of photos after each walk. Would book Simone again and will recomend her to anyone needing a her services.”
“100% recommend Nicole. She really put my mind at ease and sent photos and updates whilst I was away. Also, she is quite possibly my dogs new favourite person! Will definitely book again in the future.”

“Claudia was a fantastic dog sitter who regularly sent updates about our dog, Gus. It’s the first time we have left him with someone who isn’t family and we felt completely relaxed and happy with the choice - Gus looked like he had a whale of a time between playing on the dog field and playing in the back garden! Thank you so much, we will definitely be using you again Claudia! Xx”

“Couldn’t be happier with Wesley and how he cares for Bryn whenever I’m away. Bryn absolutely loves him, I can clearly see how happy he gets every time he sees Welsey; this only means that he’s taken good care of him. Would definitely contact him again!!”
“Finn had a lovely time staying with Annabelle and she couldn’t have been more accommodating ❤️ I would definitely book Finn in again. I got plenty of updates and photos of how Finn was getting on, great communication and any worries I had were addressed straight away.”
“Claire was absolutely brilliant with our dog Pancake. With lots of updates and photographs of what he had been up to. She is Really nice and makes you feel very comfortable leaving him. I would highly recommend her. We actually think Pancake has the holiday blues leaving her. Thank you”
“I was sceptical about this app until I met Bettyna. She had my labrador girl Olivia for 3 days and she was sending me updates and pictures everyday. I am very happy with her services and I'm truly happy I have my peace of mind now when I need to travel. In fact booked her already for the second time💯”
“Hollie took excellent care of our border collie whilst we were on holiday. She was also kind enough to pick up and drop off, which helped us massively. Hollie sent us photos of Misty during her stay and it was obvious she was very comfortable in Hollie’s company. Hollie has a lovely, spacious home and an enclosed garden that Misty enjoyed exploring. Hollie’s communication was excellent throughout. I would definitely recommend Hollie for your dog-minding or walking needs.”
“I couldn’t recommend Olaniyi enough. This was my first time leaving Bailey with him and, naturally, I was a little worried about how he would settle, but Olaniyi was absolutely brilliant with him. He kept me updated throughout our holiday with messages and photos, which really gave me peace of mind. Bailey was initially a little nervous and even fussy with his food, but Olaniyi was so patient with him, took the time to understand him and even found a food he enjoyed. By the end of his stay, Bailey was completely settled, happy and following him everywhere! 😂❤️ It was obvious when we collected Bailey that he had been genuinely cared for and treated like part of the family. I would happily leave Bailey with Olaniyi again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone kind, patient and trustworthy to care for their dog. Thank you again! 🐶❤️”
“Tony understood my dogs needs well and was accommodating to them. A last minute change, left me in a spot. It was Tony that helped me out and I can't recommend him enough. Brilliant, thank you so much.”
“Sophie was absolutely amazing with our dog, Finley. He had the best time and she sent so many great photos of all his adventures! We’ll definitely be booking again thank you so much!”

“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.”
“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.”
About: Ive always had animals in my family growing up and due to work committments the timing isnt quite right for us to have a dog full time due to work but id love for your pet to come and stay with our family. We have 2 house cats that are used to friends dogs coming and going. My older children love animals but know to respect boundaries. Ive looked after friends pets while they go away for a week and weekends and have really enjoyed that experience so Im hoping to do that more often. During the week I currently work part time and as a hybrid worker and this works well alongside my partners shift work meaning animals would never be left for long and this could possibly be arranged. We are early risers and enjoy a morning walk every day. During the weekends our availaibility is a lot better and your pet will usually come with us on days out and walks. We have a strong sense of responsibility in the care entrusted to us with a member of your family. We hope to offer a home from with a good routine of 2-3 walks a day. Feeding routine will be kept as youve instructed but we typically feed our cats twice a day with biscuits down as needed, maybe with a treat or two. Every animal is individual and we feel confident at being flexible enough that we can meet what works for your pet whilst incorporating them into our daily life. Any questions please ask.
“Sandra looked after Storm for an evening and Storm had a great time and settled in so quickly with her and her partner. I got lots of videos and photos which helped put my mind at ease that Storm was having a great time. Storm can be unsure of new people, but Sandra agreed to a pre meet and also made sure she asked lots of questions so she knew how to best look after Strom. Storm also had a day visit with Sandra and her partner for a walk and had a great time. Thanks so much!”

About: Me and my girlfriend (a Veterinary Surgeon) have loved looking after several dogs over the years. We love walking, being active and providing a lovely environment for your pet. We’ve had some really lovely feedback over the years from owners and it makes us happy to know that people place their trust in us to look after their beloved pet. Please feel free to reach out with any questions and I’ll be happy to chat 😊 I typically work 8am-4pm Monday to Friday, usually spending my weekends being active on walks / hikes. In my girlfriends role as a Veterinary Surgeon, her working hours are slightly more varied however she usually has 1 weekday off per week. When we look after dogs, we usually take them for a walk first thing in the morning and then again in the evening 😊 We have a fenced, good sized garden which is secure. We like animals to be able to have free roam of the downstairs while we aren’t at home (they’re therefore able to move between the living room, kitchen and hallway 😊 We live in a Cul-De-Sac surrounded by really friendly neighbours.
