“Devon was so wonderful with Ziggy, he watched her at our place for a few days. Devon was very caring taking her on fun walks, responsive with plenty of updates for us and very respectful of our house. Would highly recommend Devon. Thank you!”


“Adrienne took wonderful care of our dog Keller. This was our first experience using Rover for dog sitting, and Adrienne was consistently responsive, clear, helpful, and kind. She came to our house for a meet and greet and got to know Keller, and during the stay she checked in frequently with updates. We are looking forward to working with her again, and would strongly recommend her services to others!”

“We had Paulina look after our dog, Sid, and our cat, Ember, while we were out, and she was great. Both animals took to her straight away, which was really reassuring. Sid can be quite anxious when we’re not home, but she took him for a walk and kept him calm throughout the evening. Ember was happy and relaxed when we got back too. Although we weren’t there to see everything, it was clear they were both well cared for. Would definitely recommend Paulina to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”

“Peyton was absolutely amazing!! Sammy was so happy and clearly well looked after. I didn’t have a single worry whilst away and would highly recommend her to anyone considering her as a sitter.”

“Tim and Laura are wonderful sitters. We have just enjoyed our first week long holiday without Irvie and were able to completely relax and enjoy it thanks to the wonderful care he received. Irvie clearly enjoyed his week while we were away and was taken on his favourite walks, with regular updates shared with us. The house was just as well looked after. This was our second time using Laura and Tim and I could not recommend them highly enough.”

“Negin was wonderful looking after Luna. Very kind, helpful and sent regular picture and general updates from home. When I returned, Luna was so happy and I can’t thank Negin enough for making leaving her, so easy and stress free. It’s so lovely to be able to trust someone new with your animal from the outset and Negin made that process so easy and comfortable. Thank you so much Negin. I will without a doubt be asking you to look after Luna for me again ☺️”

“Freddy has been a life-saver. I have needed to leave Irma with him to attend interviews and house-viewings and he has been amazing with her. Very trustworthy and Irma is always happy and well-taken care of.”

About: Professional dog walker now for the past 3 years. Dog mummy for 20 years. With a great love for outdoors. I intend to breach out and become a dog behaviourist in the near future. I’m offering dog walking/ sitting/ boarding and daycare. Any questions feel free to contact me :) I’m currently working as a professional dog walker so your pet will fit right in here, if your dog doesn’t like these activities thats fine as I can offer alternatives. I have a fenced garden which your fur baby has full range of. I do professional dog walking also so if your dog is happy with other dogs they will come with us if not that’s fine I also do country park walks. I love local to Colwick woods also Gedling county park so we will go and explore that together. I’m dedicated in helping my clients so if your dog is reactive towards other dogs or extremely bad (pulling) on the lead, I have the time and patience to help break them habits.
“Joseph was really good with my senior dog, Mia. He was very considerate of her needs and kept me informed on how she was doing. Would definitely recommend him and I would use him again to look after Mia for me.”

“Kate came and stayed at our house and looked after our giant puppy for a week while we were on holiday. Her communication was great and she sent us pictures of Kiri’s chilling and on walks which was lovely. We will definitely be booking with Kate again. Thanks Kate!”


About: I live on my own and own a very active Cockerpoo. I've looked after and taken friends and family dogs for around 10 years. I live next to woodthorpe Park which is ideal for your dog to have a adventure day ! If it's a case of me looking after your dog/dogs on there own then that is totally fine. I have family that would be more than happy looking after ziggy for a while if you dog isn't comfortable around others. I currently work part-time so, so have plenty of time to play with your dogs! I am available during most of the week and also weekends I have a fenced garden which has lots of grass and greenery to run around in. I also live close to woodthorpe park which is ideal for your dog to run around and have adventures.
About: I’ve taken care of a range of different dog breeds ranging from large to small. Some of these dogs have been nervous or reactive to other dogs as well as some with people. :) I am currently completing a PhD focusing on cancer research so I am fairly flexible during the week and available the majority of weekends. I would love to meet your doggies 😊 I have a 6 foot fenced garden all the way around expect for the neighbours which is about 3/4 foot. The garden is fairly big with space to play fetch.

About: Since being a little girl, I have found so much peace being among animals. I have owned nearly every furry under the sun (dogs, cats, rabbits, guineas, mice, hamsters and more!) and love the unique personality each animal has. I have a soft spot for rescues, most of my pets have been strays and love being able to show them that the world can be a good place with the right people in it! A few years of my working life was spent in a kennels and cattery, and have recently been running a Nature School for children, where we explore and care for wildlife, animals and the world around us. It has been great to pass on my love for the animal world, to the next generation. All ages and stages of life are welcome, from pups and kittens, right through to the OAPs - and the care I offer is tailored to each animal as an individual. I will ensure I follow your instructions and care plan to ensure everyone is as happy as they can be. I've spent my entire life working with animals and children - and yes maybe you do need to be a little crazy to do that! But I do thoroughly enjoy the chaos and pure love they bring everyday. I'd be honoured to care for your beloved pets, and give you peace of mind for when you can't be there. From July, I will be working from home, so can offer the flexibility you desire. I have my children's school run twice a day, so have ample time between 9am and 3.30pm to accommodate your furry friends. I will also be available most evenings for later visits and walks if required. Weekends I can also be flexible. My large car can fit any size dog in, so can drive to green spaces for walks if desired! I have a large tiered garden, consisting of artificial turf, a bark area and decking. The house is a detached 3 bed, with 2 downstairs sitting areas, so your pets have plenty to of space to choose where they feel most comfortable.During warm weather, dogs can access an outdoor animal friendly paddling pool, and our outside space has plenty of trees to provide natural shade and a cooler temperature.
About: MESSAGE FOR MORE ACCURATE PRICING I’ve trained all four of my own dogs(back home) also, cared for dogs of all ages, sizes & breed. Trust me I’ve seen it all :) Specialise in sight hounds and bull breeds I’ve owned these dogs myself for years and know how to handle them correctly/safely .I don’t walk dogs from different households at the same time so your dog will have my full attention. I have experience caring for cats, rabbits/rodents, tropical fish and chickens. I’m fully dedicated to pet sitting. However in my free time I enjoying going to the gym, reading, baking & photographing your pet of course !!! Pets will be under supervision at all times aswell I can adjust my home environment in ways to reduce stress for your pet eg.crate/ bedding
“On returning home after my trip, I came back to a very happy, healthy, well fed Mopsy. As usual Yeru has done a fine job. I feel she may have struggled a little with uni work, and looking after Mopsy, but that is my fault really, as I have her virtually no notice. I think it may have only been four days, but if she hadn’t stepped up, I would have had to cancel my trip, as there’s no one else, I’d be happy to trust with my dog. I’d throughly recommend Yeru, and hope she is available in the summer, when I go on holiday again. 🤞”

Hannah looked after Aiko for us for 9 days. We received daily updates and lovely photos whilst we were away. He was happy and had lots of snuggles and lovely walks. Kept him in his routine and also looked after our house. Fantastic communication. Would highly recommend ⭐️

We're so grateful to Alice and Tommy for the lovely care and attention they gave to our little Patty. They gave him lots of exercise and opportunities too explore and sniff. Also ensured they made time to rest before ball games in the garden. They took really good care of our house and left everywhere clean and tidy. We felt they were genuine, trustworthy and very kind young people who we'd have no hesitation is asking again .We received photo's and video's which was very reassuring, we felt our little Patty was in safe hands as well as having kisses and cuddles. We would highly recommend Alice and Tommy to care for your pets.

Negin was wonderful looking after Luna. Very kind, helpful and sent regular picture and general updates from home. When I returned, Luna was so happy and I can’t thank Negin enough for making leaving her, so easy and stress free. It’s so lovely to be able to trust someone new with your animal from the outset and Negin made that process so easy and comfortable. Thank you so much Negin. I will without a doubt be asking you to look after Luna for me again ☺️

Absolutely brilliant Great communication from start to finish. Our dog Indie took to Abigail straight away. She looks happier and healthier than when we left her! Would thoroughly recommend Abigail to anyone looking for any kind of dog sitting/walking/boarding. Will definitely be using again

Adrienne regularly looks after our dog Daisy at our house while we're at work. Daisy is always so excited to see her (she lies at the top of the stairs and stares at the front door awaiting her arrival!!) and is always content when we return home with all needs met. We receive cute updates and Adrienne is very communicative when it comes to arranging sitting.

Sarah is the BEST dog and cat sitter. She is the most sweetest person, so bubbly and puts you at ease. She goes above and beyond when looking after your pets and sends regular updates throughout the stay. She leaves your home spotless and is so thoughtful. We cannot recommend her enough. Willow and Sophie have had the best time. We will definitely be using Sarah again. If I could leave more than 5 stars I would. The best there is🩷

Scarlet has been an absolutely amazing dog sitter for my two Shih Tzus. From the moment we met her, it was clear how caring, reliable, and genuinely loving she is with dogs. She kept them happy, comfortable, and well looked after, and I had complete peace of mind while away. She was attentive to their routines, gave them lots of affection and care, and kept me updated regularly, which I really appreciated. My dogs were relaxed and happy around her, which says everything. I would highly recommend Scarlet to anyone looking for a trustworthy, kind, and responsible dog sitter. Thank you again for taking such wonderful care of them!

I am so glad Olaya agreed to take care of my cat Mimi for 4 days. Olaya is excellent with cats, and has really good and calm energy - Mimi opened up to her in minutes. Olaya took the time to engage with Mimi with toys and ensured no disruption to her routine. Olaya is also highly responsible, and she paid a lot of attention to detail, and I felt extremely assured about leaving Mimi in her care. All the information regarding Mimi’s routines as well as the apartment were handled with care and honesty which I really appreciate. Communication was excellent where I received many updates on Mimi. Olaya left my apartment extremely tidy! I am really thankful to Olaya and I would certainly recommend her to anyone looking for an extremely responsible and caring sitter.

Shani is absolutely wonderful! Thank you so much for helping us out at such short notice. She took the time to meet our pup, Casper, beforehand to make sure they were a good match, which we really appreciated. Communication was quick and easy, and it was clear from the start how kind and affectionate she is with dogs. We had lots of pictures and updates sent to us through the day on his wellbeing and put us completely at ease knowing Casper was in such safe and loving hands. I came home to a happy and relaxed pooch, and it’s obvious he had a great time. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Shani again—highly recommend! 😊

Ella was really good when she looked after my 4 month lab puppy! She gave him lot of love and attention and provided updates throughout the day! She also left my house very clean and tidy which was above and beyond! She really helped me out and have booked again with her. My puppy was tired for the rest of the day after lots of play and attention!

We booked another weekend with Shanaya after her first time looking after Merlin went so well - again, absolutely no faults, she was the perfect carer and companion for our little pup. He absolutely adores her! We are very much hoping to use Shanayas services again in the future ☺️☺️
