“Hannah has become my go to now every time I need a dog sitter. She’s fantastic, regularly updates me with the dogs and provides photos each day! Fully recommend for anyone who’s in need of a dog sitter.”

“We have had Nia babysit our Frenchie a few times now and this has been the best choice ever. She is the sweetest, most caring and loyal person. Our dog does not easily feel comfortable with anyone, but Nia is his best friend. He is so happy when she comes. And I feel very comfortable when I have to leave the house because I know he’s in the best hands.”

About: I have experience with anxious dogs, as well as more energetic ones. I like to play with them and give them attention whenever they want. I am working part-time so I have lots of free time to look after your dog/cat. I have a couple of days off a week, but I only work small shifts, so I am quite flexible. My family dog is quite anxious, so I have experience in calming him down and being able to distract him. I love to play with them and keep them entertained.

“Anastasia was a fantastic sitter. Really made us feel at ease with leaving our fur baby Mango in her care. Really reliable and great communication meant we could enjoy our time away without worrying. Would highly recommend.”

About: I’ve been around dogs for most of my life and have had my own large Springador for 14 years that I grew up with, giving me extensive hands-on experience with dog care. As a large, energetic breed, he could be quite challenging at times, which has taught me patience, confidence, and how to handle dogs with different personalities and behaviours. I regularly walk my dog and am comfortable handling dogs of all sizes, whether they’re calm, energetic, or still working on their lead manners. Through years of training and caring for my own dog, I’ve developed a good understanding of their behaviour, safety, and exercise needs. I’m also a big cat lover. I’ve looked after a friend’s cat while they were away, ensuring they were fed, comfortable, and well cared for and I wish to have one later in life. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether you need a dog walker or someone to drop in and check on your pet, I’m reliable, caring, and committed to making sure your pets feel safe, happy, and well looked after. Im currently a student finished with college so have allot of free time and currently no job from my experience this would be a perfect opportunity to start earning money. I care for pets in the comfort of their own home to keep them relaxed and in their usual routine. I follow any instructions provided by the owner closely, including feeding schedules, walking times, and any specific care needs. When looking after dogs, I make sure they get the right amount of exercise, attention, and toilet breaks, while always keeping them safe on walks. For cats, I ensure they are fed, have fresh water, clean litter trays if needed, and receive plenty of gentle attention if they want it. I’m very respectful of people’s homes and always make sure everything is left clean and secure. My goal is to make pets feel comfortable and cared for while giving owners peace of mind while they’re away.
About: I’ve been a lifelong dog lover and have had cockapoos in my family since 2012. I live close to my parents and regularly walk and look after their dogs Tilly and Kira. I have them to stay whilst my parents are away, so caring for dogs has always been part of my daily life. I am a go to for friends and family. My parents’ lovely dog Kira is a rescue and regularly shows behaviours including resource guarding, high prey drive, and reactivity, which has given me valuable knowledge and skills in managing different behaviours with patience, understanding, and positive handling techniques. I now have a home of my own with easy access to a secure garden, providing a safe and comfortable environment for dogs to relax and play. I have plenty of time, love, and attention to give, ensuring every dog feels happy, cared for, and at home. While I work as a busy solicitor, I have flexible free time on certain days when I work from home and at weekends, which allows me to offer reliable dog walking and boarding services. Your dog will be treated like family, with lots of care, exercise, and affection. Each week varies, but I’m usually available to care for your dog on a Monday, Wednesday and Thursday as these are the days I work from home, as well as some weekends. I have an open plan house with patio doors leading out to a small fenced and fully enclosed garden. On the days I am working from home, I will do this downstairs so that your pet has supervision and company at all times. They are welcome to relax on the sofa! At night, I would prefer if they are able to sleep downstairs alone however I can be flexible if they need to be with me.
“Tuesday was fantastic with Casper! Tuesday came to visit us prior to the sitting to ensure she could meet Casper and we could brief her on his routine. During the sitting, Tuesday made sure to update us throughout the day. We would love to see Tuesday sit Casper again in the future!”

“Don’t really want to leave feedback as I want to keep Shanice all for myself😀it was the first time I’ve ever used a sitter for my super old crazy dog so was quite apprehensive about it. Shanice came and met me a few days before and put my mind at rest. Totally fabulous and lovely and sweet and really cared about looking after my dog. She sent me loads of updates over the weekend and when I got back, all in order and lovely clean house as well. Will definitely be booking Shanice in the future as I do travel a lot and need someone trustworthy to look after my Peki crazy dog, ❤️”

About: Hi! I’m a huge dog lover with a lifelong connection to dogs, especially Springer Spaniels my family has had them for over 22 years, so being around energetic, loving pups is second nature to me. I’m really active and enjoy rugby and long walks, so your dog will get plenty of exercise, attention, and outdoor time. Whether it’s a relaxed stroll or a more energetic walk, I’m happy to match your dog’s needs. I’ve already had experience dog sitting, including caring for both a young puppy and multiple dogs at once. I’m also the go to person when my mum goes on holiday I take care of everything from feeding and walking to making sure they’re happy, comfortable, and well looked after. I’m reliable, caring, and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs, so you can feel confident your pet will be in safe hands and treated like part of the family. Pet care fits really well into my daily routine. I’m a degree apprentice in aerospace design engineering, and I work flexible hours, typically from 7am to 3pm. This means I’m available for early morning, afternoon, and evening care, including walks, feeding, and spending quality time with your dog. As someone who is already active and enjoys walking, I naturally incorporate dog walks into my day. I’m used to being responsible for dogs at home too, so fitting in feeding, playtime, and general care is something that comes easily to me. I’m reliable, organised, and able to plan my time well, so your pet will always get the attention, routine, and care they need. I care for every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved in any environment. In a pet owner’s home, I always follow their usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, walk schedules, and any specific instructions, so your pet feels settled and secure. I make sure dogs get plenty of exercise, whether that’s regular walks, playtime, or just keeping them company. I’m also attentive to their behaviour and needs, so I can quickly notice if anything seems off.

“Thank you so much Vanessa, you went above and beyond. George had a wonderful ‘holiday’ with you 😊 I don’t think he even missed me - which is fabulous. I loved all the pictures from your trips out. The house looked great as well. Thank you so much for staying on for a while, after my flight was delayed. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you to anyone!!”


About: Hi, I’m Lily, a passionate animal lover and experienced pet carer offering a safe, loving home environment for your pets. I work as a children’s social worker, which means I am around throughout the day and can provide plenty of supervision, companionship, and care for pets in my home. My professional background means I am highly responsible, trustworthy, calm under pressure, and experienced in meeting individual needs. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I have experience caring for dogs, cats, and rabbits. I currently have two house rabbits of my own, who are kept in their own separate room away from any dogs attending doggy daycare, so everyone can remain safe and comfortable. Over the years, I have carried out drop-in visits, feeding sessions, pop-ins, and dog walking for others. I am confident in managing pets with different personalities, routines, and needs, and I understand how important it is for owners to know their pets are in safe hands. Whether your pet needs company during the day, a walk, feeding visits, or loving care while you’re away, I will treat them as if they were my own, with patience, attention, and lots of affection. I would love to meet you and your pet and provide a caring, reliable service you can trust. I work from home during the week, which means pet care fits naturally into my daily routine and allows me to provide regular supervision, companionship, toilet breaks, feeding, and attention throughout the day. I am able to build walks, playtime, and care around my schedule, ensuring pets are not left alone for long periods. My evenings and weekends are also flexible, allowing me to accommodate dog walks, drop-in visits, and daycare depending on your pet’s needs and routine. In my home, I provide a calm, safe, and loving environment where pets are supervised, given regular toilet breaks, exercise, playtime, and lots of affection. I always follow each pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walk preferences, and any individual needs. I have two free roaming house rabbits of my own, who will be kept on a separate floor away from any dogs attending daycare, ensuring a safe environment for all animals. When caring for pets in an owner’s home, I respect their routine and home environment, making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for in familiar surroundings. Whether this is feeding, drop-in visits, companionship, or walks, I take the time to understand each pet’s personality and needs and always provide reliable, attentive care.
About: My family had owned pets pretty much my whole life, from small animals like gerbils and budgies, to dogs and cats! As a somewhat paranoid pet owner myself, I know how nerve wracking it can be to leave your pets care to someone else, and as a result I aim to give the same standard of care as I would for my own pets. I am also able to provide care for birds. as I am at home from university over the summer period, I am very flexible in terms of when I am available to provide pet care. The care I provide can vary depending on the needs of your pet. I will ensure their environment is safe at all times, paying careful attention to any specific hazards or concerns you may have. And of course walking/feeding/playing.
“Chris has looked after Daisy twice, both times in our home. He was reliable, his communications were great and we had every confidence that Daisy was being well cared for. We would be very happy for him to come and sit again.”

“As soon as I met Elisabeth I knew straight away that I could 100% trust her with my puppy Dex - as he’s still young, he is cautious about being left with people when I’m not there, but he warmed to Elisabeth straight away. Thank you so much for looking after him while I went out for the evening, and hopefully see you again soon 🥰”

About: I have had two rescue dogs over the years and also recently looked after my nans elderly Pomeranian until he passed away. I love to go on long walks and happy for doggy cuddles on my furniture. I’m currently a self employed beauty therapist so flexible with my times and dates. Please message me dates you need. Thank you. Look forward to hearing from you I have a fenced garden so plenty of space for them to run around and a warm friendly home to welcome your dog. With plenty of treats if allowed.

About: I’ve taken care of many kinds of dogs since I was 14, I have worked for 1 dog rescue and 1 cat rescue. At the dog rescue I would look after the dogs feed them and nurture them whenever needed. I’m currently at college full time as a performing arts student however, I own 6 cats! Every morning I wake up early enough to be able to give them all attention and care to ensure none of them feel forgotten! One of my cats is autistic and is a rescue cat, because he was once in the wild he doesn’t get along with other cats and is scared of everything, to ensure his safety he is a house cat no matter how much I try to ease him out of the house he won’t however I make sure to leave my windows open to ensure he still gets his breaths of fresh air. Another one of my cats like to travel too far from home so I decided to buy a cat tracker for his collar this notifies me where he is to make sure he is safe!

Our 20 month old golden retriever, Finley, has just had a lovely 4 days homestay with Hannah and seemed settled and happy from the start. He can be pretty lively at times but Hannah's calm, kind and knowledgeable approach gave us confidence that he would be in good hands. Hannah sent us daily updates and we were delighted that he was even enjoying being taken to a couple of cafes. She also gave us feedback on our return, which was great. We would have no hesitation in recommending Hannah and look forward to her next stay with Finley later in the summer.

Carol was absolutely wonderful with Nina! From the very beginning, she was attentive, caring, and made sure Nina felt right at home. I received regular updates, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. It’s clear she truly loves dogs and treats them like her own. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a top-notch sitter, and I will definitely be booking with her again!

Stephen was amazing with my two dogs Hamish and Ruby. He sent regular updates which was lovely and it was great to see how much fun they had particularly with his dog Maddie. He also left the place very clean and tidy which was great. Would totally recommend, already rebooked him.

Tom was amazing! He was happy to come for a meet and greet prior to our first booking which was lovely. He provided excellent communication, keeping us updated with messages, photos and a phone call throughout the day. He was friendly, flexible, accommodating, and put us at ease knowing our fur babies were going to be well looked after 💕🐾 I would highly recommend him for any pet sitting services! Thank you Tom

Amy was really great and professional from our first contact. We made a last minute request for house sitting our Labrador, Hardy. Amy got back very quickly and came over for a meet and greet. Hardy was completely comfortable with her and she was great with him. Amy's stay with Hardy was great for us, she was prompt and gave regular feed back. Hardy was very content when we got home. We would have no problem with recommending Amy and will certainly ask her to sit for Hardy in the future.
As newbies to Rover, we were of course a little apprehensive about inviting new people to look after our fur baby. How lovely was Charlie, and his charming partner. Punctual, polite and presentable, it very obvious that he is kind and caring and our girl seemed very comfortable. Suki doesn't bond to easily with new people, but we believe this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship. We have already booked Charlie again.

Would give 10 stars if I could. Chloe was fantastic. She looked after our 3 dogs superbly and was extremely diligent at giving the epileptic dog her meds on time multiple times through the day. The house was kept spotlessly clean, Chloe messaged us multiple times a day to give updates, and even helped an extra couple of hours when our flight home was delayed. Can’t thank you enough Chloe and will definitely be using you again!

Thank you so much Vanessa, you went above and beyond. George had a wonderful ‘holiday’ with you 😊 I don’t think he even missed me - which is fabulous. I loved all the pictures from your trips out. The house looked great as well. Thank you so much for staying on for a while, after my flight was delayed. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you to anyone!!
