“Was a little Nervous at first as we have only left Lola our Spaniel with friends once but seeing Laura and her Family made us feel relaxed. It's a lovely part of the countryside which I'm sure Lola absolutely loved as we live in a busy Town. Was sent lots pictures of her enjoying her stay. Would Definitely love to return with Lola in the Future. Many Thanks.”


“Karrie and Kevin were absolutely incredible with our 2. Being a Belgian Shepherd, Ava isn’t quick to warm with new people, and yet she was soon easing herself gently into her loving temporary home alongside her Golden Retriever sister Pink and her adopted sister, German Shepherd Willow, owned by Karrie and Kevin. I would not hesitate to book again.”


“We couldn’t be happier with the care Raymond and his partner provided for our dog, Bella! From the moment we met them, it was clear how loving and dedicated they are. They truly went out of their way to accommodate us and make Bella feel right at home. Bella was so happy and comfortable during her stay — we could tell she was well cared for, loved, and treated like part of their family. They kept us updated and were incredibly kind and thoughtful throughout the entire process. We will definitely use their services again and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, caring, and genuinely wonderful pet sitters. Thank you both for taking such amazing care of Bella!”


“Eleanor was fantastic with our old dog Ralph . He was so well looked after and sending pictures to us during the day was a lovely touch . Would 100% use Eleanor again in the future and will recommend her to friends and family . Thank you David and Jenny”


About: I’ve had a dogs in my life since I was 7, I look after friends dogs to. Whether it’s from playing with them to walking them. I work part time but from home, I can fit dogs into my routine easily. Whatever works best for them. Whether it’s walking or stay overs. I have a fenced garden to keep your dogs safe, happy to have crates. They will be coming to a loving, fun home for their stays.

“Chris was excellent with my dogs, both have specific needs, willow is old and needs tablets for her arthritis and George is young, big and quite clumsy, he's also a bit of artist. Chris managed both their needs well and kept me updated with pictures. Will definitely use him again”


“Couldn't ask for a better home from home. Both dogs look very happy and relaxed. Lots pf photos of snuggles and walks Bruce gets his medication and Phoenix eats, when she can be a finicky if not happy. They will be visiting again. Thank you so much for looking after our dogs so well. XX”


About: I have grown up in a dog loving household, we had our frisbee loving border collie for 14 years and I have looked after other family and friends dogs alongside this too. I am comfortable with all breeds and personalities from energetic puppies to seniors enjoying gentle walks. Our dog loved routine so I understand the importance of this for other pets and owners. Whether it’s a game of fetch, frisbee in the garden or cuddles on the sofa, I’ll treat your pet as part of the family I currently work full time during the week however my evenings/nights and weekends are free to be able to look after your pets and would love this to fill my time on a weekend I have a large sized fenced garden to allow your pet to run around but in a safe and secure space I have multiple rooms in the house to allow your pet to roam freely throughout

“Catherine was absolutely marvellous, I could not have asked for anyone better to look after my dog. He was thoroughly spoilt, and I knew that at Catherine’s he was home from home. I had regular updates and would not hesitate recommending and using Catherine again. Thanks Catherine, you are amazing and helped me out no end!”


“Went to a caravan for 3 nights and had to get a dog sitter for my wee dog Mia as she just wouldn’t settle. Helen was absolutely amazing I can’t express that enough! She answered straight away when I booked, she sent me pictures of Mia to let me know how she was getting on and kept in touch with texts to keep me updated. She has her own three dogs and you can tell they’re all pampered pooches 🥰 if anyone is looking for a dog sitter in this area I would 100% recommend Helen and will definitely be back myself 🙈❤️”


“We were up in Filey on holiday and Kayleigh looked after Daisy for a day, while we took our granddaughter to Playdale Farm. We did the same last year. Kayleigh does a brilliant job. Daisy was happy to go and had obviously been very happy to be there. Thank you Kayleigh. We would highly recommend.”

About: Dogs have always been in our family. Since I was 17 I have always owned a dog. Our last dog- Bailey was with us until he was 16. Recently we have a new addition to the household- paddy, he is a lively, friend Springador who loves to play. We also have ‘puggy’ who is getting old now and just likes to relax most days. I adore dogs, and have many years experience of how to care for them properly. I enjoy daily walks in the local area, at the beach and in the woods. I am currently on maternity leave from work so can be available every day. I have 2 young children at home who love our dogs. We go out for daily walks. I have a fenced yard so toilet breaks can be regular, I usually leave the back door open all day so dogs can go in and out as they please. Daily walks will be offered if needed. Dogs can be crated if needed but I don’t really like doing it.

“Lillian was a brilliant sitter for Dave. She was easy to communicate with and very responsive to messages and lives in a lovely location which is perfect for dogs. I have no reservation in recommending Lillian to Rover users and have every intention of booking her again in the future when I can’t take Dave with me.”


About: Hi! I’ve grown up around dogs and have been a trusted pet sitter for over 9 years, providing everything from overnight stays to drop-ins and long walks. Back in Australia, I was highly booked on apps like Pawshake, caring for both dogs and cats — with many happy repeat clients and extended bookings lasting up weeks-months. I absolutely love animals and have a soft spot for bigger breeds like Golden Retrievers and Border Collies, but also love and have taken care of other animals including cats and bunnies. I’m also a very active person, so your pets will enjoy plenty of fresh air, movement, and play — helping them stay calm, happy, and well-regulated while you’re away. I treat every pet like family and take pride in giving them the care and attention they deserve. I am currently living abroad from Australia until mid July and work a few hours remotely so I have plenty of time for walks and drop ins. I am available every day and my schedule can work around yours. I treat going to someone's home like my own and respect the previous boundaries set by the owners, making sure your pet's routine is as close to normal as possible. Not only willI look after your pet to the best of my ability but I leave all of my client's house exact as I found them, with things clean and tidy.
