Rebecca and Craig are super sitters! Great communication before and during our trip away. Very reassuring to get pics and videos and text updates as to how our dog was getting on. She seemed very happy with them, out on walks with ‘Charlie’ (Rebecca’s dog), a very friendly, placid lab. Thank you Rebecca and Craig, we will keep in touch 🙏

Ruth looked after Hamish for the first time. He had a great time and didn't want to leave!! I was very reassured as he'd not been left with anyone before. Ruth sent me photos and let me know how things were going. He looks forward to many more play dates with Ruth.

Such lovely dog sitters! They accommodated a visit at short notice and fitted around my dog recovering from a virus and needing shorter walks etc. It was clear they love dogs and filled me with confidence about the stay and my dog has come back well and happy. Thanks again!

Nicole took care of our 9 month old pup while we were out for an evening and he had a brilliant time. He was at ease right away, didn't look back when we left. We were updated with lots of photos and a video of him having a great time playing. We would definitely reccommend Nicole and will definitely book her again! :)

Kathy was absolutely brilliant - she was so quick at replying to messages and when we arrived there was a questionnaire about Bertie's eating times, dislikes and favourite things etc. Her daughter was perfect with him - so gentle and calm. We got lots of pictures of Bertie over the weekend and they took him to a castle and the fair so he had a blast! Tbh I wish we lived closer so we could send Bertie there every time!

I left Charles with Derek and his wife over the weekend and he couldn’t have been treated better. I highly recommend their services. They looked after my boy as he was their own and that made me enjoy my trip even more knowing he was in a home away from home. Thank you again guys! You’ll always be my first choice for looking after Charles. :)

We started using dog sitters 9 years ago and for the past 5 years specifically, we've been using Rover; we can say confidently that Louisa is the best we've ever had, and we would never change her! You can clearly see the care, passion, and professionalism that she puts in when she has a pet in her care. And not just from her, but her children as well! She sends daily feedback full of details and fun stories of your pet's day, which are always entertaining with her witty and hilarious commentary. After more than 3 times that Leo has stayed with her, you can see how he's become a member of their family too and has found his holiday home! He has never been more comfortable with any other dog sitter; and thanks to Louisa and her family, Leo has had tons of fun, new experiences that unfortunately we often couldn't give him due to time constrictions. So we've learned new things about our dog too and how he is in those new environments. We've already planned our next few stays for Leo, which we've never felt comfortable to do before as often as now with our peace of mind. Thank you Louisa! 🥰

I truly understand the importance of keeping dogs engaged and happy. I organize fantastic playdates at the park, ensuring that the dogs can socialize and enjoy themselves. I incorporate fun games like fetch and agility courses, which not only provide great exercise but also stimulate their minds. My creativity shines through with entertaining activities using dog toys, from tug-of-war to hide-and-seek with treats. My dedication to providing a fun and safe environment for the dogs is evident, and I have no doubt that any dog in my care will thrive and have a wonderful time!

About: I grew up with dogs in and around my home, we’ve had different breeds of dogs in the family home since I was younger which I helped take care of and loved taking out walking. I enjoy meeting my friends and going walks with my dog and their dogs also. I have a dog of my own at home. Im currently not working so im available at any day or time. Just contact me to arrange a suitable date/time that will work best for you. I have a grassy patch out the back of my house which I take my dog to do the toilet, it’s pretty secluded but there can be regular traffic as it’s a parking area. My cat doesn’t get out. I have a crate which can be used if need be.

About: Dogs have always been a significant part of my life. With a family full of them growing up, I've developed a strong understanding of various personalities and needs. This includes the joys of puppy training (our Labrador, Olive) and the rewarding experience of caring for a rescue dog (my childhood husky). Working from home means I can dedicate my day to ensuring your pet feels safe and happy. My work-from-home setup offers a great deal of flexibility, meaning I am present throughout the day to care for both my own dog and any visiting pets. This allows for regular check-ins, exercise, and ensuring all their needs are met. I provide a secure and comfortable environment for all pets in my care at my home. We have a large garden where playtime is always supervised. With my own Labrador, Olive, and two cats, I'm experienced in managing a multi-pet household and ensuring everyone's safety and comfort are maintained at all times. They will never be left unsupervised in the house or garden.

I can’t recommend Hyoeun highly enough! My Bruk spent three weeks with her and came back a relaxed, happy boy. He enjoyed lovely daily walks and plenty of belly rubs. I received regular photo updates, and it was clear from the pictures that Bruk felt completely at home and was thoroughly spoiled by Hyoeun and her family. Thank you so much for everything you did for Bruk—we’ll definitely see you again soon! xx

Catherine took our dog for the weekend within quite short notice when our other plans fell through. He had also recently had an op and she was very flexible and happy to do whatever he needed. We got photos and updates whilst we were away which let us know he was enjoying himself! Thank you!
