“Our Cooper had a great time with Jane. She sent plenty of pictures and updates. We felt Cooper was safe and comfortable with her and partner. Plenty on walks and cuddles. We will be booking with Jane again.”

“Liam, Hannah & Beau could not have taken better care of Paul for the 9 days we were away. We had loads of updates, Paul looked happier and more settled than we’d ever seen him! Lovely home, lovely family and Beau is the sweetest dog. We will 100% be bringing Paul back for another stay!”

“Thankyou Alana for looking after Boo so well Alana gave me regular updates and went over and above to make Boos holiday as enjoyable as my own Boo enjoyed her stay with you and I wouldn’t hesitate to use your services again or recommend you to others”

“Highly reccomend, Ella looked after my labrador although she was a little unsettled during night Ella done everything she can to settle her down. Pictures/video updates everyday lots of exercise given. Thank you so much for looking after tiegan x”

“Eva was the first person outside of my immediate family to look after Otis, so I was a little nervous ahead of booking. Eva offered a meet up and it was very reassuring to see her home and she immediately put me at ease. Otis had a great couple of days with her - he particularly enjoyed her wonderful garden; exploring it kept him very entertained! Eva provided regular updates and sent photos, which were much appreciated. She was very patient with him when he was a little apprehensive of her stairs (the stairs are fine - he is just a little scared of stairs in general!). She took great care of him and followed our routines at home. I would not hesitate to use Eva again and would highly recommend her to others (especially those who are a little apprehensive about leaving their previous pup!).”

“Brilliant service! Kobi had the best time with the Yana and their dog. Kobi made best of friends with them. I had updates throughout Kobi’s stay which was reassuring. He is now back with me and a very sleepy boy showing he has been walked well! Which is hard to achieve with a Border Collie. Thank you Yana and to your partner and pup also! I will be returning for future visits with Kobi x”

“Wendy is very caring with Frankie as he is a needy dog. He is very relaxed with Wendy which is good to know. Wendy sends us photos so we can see Frankie in her care and he always looks happy.”


“Charlie stayed overnight with Katherine and I am grateful of the care he received. He was happy and relaxed when I picked him up and I know he was in good hands”


“Nicola was so welcoming! She arranged to meet us before we confirmed if we were comfortable booking with her, where she allowed us into her home with our a dog so we could see the space for ourselves. She was so kind and caring for our dog who was only staying away from us for the 2nd time. She sent constant photos of him being happy during his stay and even went out of her way to take him to the river. We couldn't recommend her enough and she will always be an option for us going forward if we are ever in need of a sitter again. Thank you Nicola for making our Arnie feel at home”


About: I've always loved dogs and rescued my own dog in Spain over 2 years ago. I have first-hand experience of building trust, patience and creating a safe, loving environment. As a primary school teacher, a nurturing approach to little personalities comes naturally to me. 🐾 Your dog's safety and wellbeing will always be my priority. I'll care for your dog as if they were my own and keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages, so you can relax knowing they're in safe and loving hands. 🫶🏽🐾 📅I have availability for dog walking in the evenings and at weekends. I will always do my best to align my availability to your schedule.🐾 🏡 I can offer drop-ins tailored to you to check in on your fur baby while you are away, making sure they are safe and happy. 🕐30 minute walks can be on 1:1 basis, or if you prefer your dog to have some socialisation and play time, my own friendly dog can join us. 🐕🦺 These walks can take place in your local area, nearby woodlands or nearby parks. 🕐For 60-minute walks, and with your permission, your dog will join me on suitable fun-filled adventures further afield🚗. Please note that my own friendly, well-socialised dog will always accompany 60 minute walks, so this option is best suited to dogs who enjoy the company of other dogs. 🐕🦺🦮 🏡Your dog can board in my home at weekends. They will be treated as part of the family. My own dog is friendly and very energetic/playful. He is willing to share his home with other loving dogs. When dogs stay with me, you can count on an adventure - hiking, forest walks, trips to the beach etc.🌳🌊 I also have a fenced, medium-sized garden, so the dogs will get plenty of opportunities for toilet breaks and outdoor play throughout the day. Your dog's safety and wellbeing will always come first. I have an enhanced DBS check through my role in education, so you can feel confident welcoming me into your home. I'll follow your instructions carefully, respect your home, and stick to your dog's usual routine.
About: I’ve always had dogs when growing up, 4 and 5 at a time, working and none working dogs which I loved to walk and train. I enjoy the outdoors and spend most of my free time walking and enjoying nature. My availability will mostly be weekends and school holidays as I work term time. However, I live a few minutes away from my place of work, and provided pet is not anxious or happy to be left for periods of time (no more than 3 hours), I am happy to consider during the week care to help owners if needed. All dogs will receive a minimum of three good walks a day and anything else that is needed. I live in an area which has access to lots of walks, long and short. As well as plenty of walks including beaches and trails just a car journey away if pet is ok to travel. I have a fenced garden, safe for dogs of all sizes. Your pet will be treated like a family member, lots of walks, kisses and cuddles, a place on the sofa and a bed to sleep in.
“I have just collected Percy after a week with Georgia and family, and I dont think he wanted to come home. He was welcomed into their house like an old friend and we can tell he's had a great time. We were kept updated throughout his stay and we were also sent plenty of photos, which is always reassuring. We would recommend Georgia to anyone who is looking for sitting or boarding, and would not hesitate to book Percy in again.”

“Our wee cavapoo, Barney had a wonderful time with Carolyn and was looked after so well! Carolyn provides a real home from home and I can't recommend her highly enough! He came back a very happy pup with a waggy tail! He is looking forward to his next stay with her in May! ?? X”

“My 2 girls seem happy when they turned up for there 2nd stay with patrick. He seems to treat my girls like they are at home even to letting tjem sleep in bed if thats what theh want. Definetely recommend”


“This was our first time using a dog sitter, and I was a little nervous, but Brianna was fantastic. She took great care of our dog Betsy, kept me updated with messages and photos, and made the whole experience stress-free. My dog was happy and well looked after. I would definitely recommend her and would happily book with her again. Thank you!”

“Holly took great care of Pepper at very short notice due to a family member being ill. She was extremely accommodating and caring and thoughtful. Holly kindly sent lots of updates and photos of Pepper having the time of his life during his stay. He had the best time - running around with his ball, playing with Gary the Gull, meeting and playing with his new buddy Ronnie, swimming at Easby Abbey. I knew Pepper was in extremely capable hands from the moment I dropped him off. He was immediately at ease and that had a huge impact on me. I’ve already arranged for Pepper to go back to see Holly in a couple of weeks and Holly would be my go-to person for all future stays for Pepper. Thank you so so much Holly.”

“Delphi had a brilliant stay and didn’t want to leave! The photo and video updates were much appreciated- you could tell how happy she was. Communication from the first enquiry was excellent. I highly recommend William for dog boarding and Delphi’s next stay is already booked.”
“Thank you so much to Emma for looking after our lad Fred for the last 4 nights. Fred is normally a bit nervous of people, but Emma made him feel at home straight away. Emma kept us updated with photos of Fred every day. He’s come home absolutely shattered after playing with his new mates all well. Thank you again 😀”

We left Jasper with this lovely family for two weeks, and I'll admit we were a little nervous beforehand as we haven't had the best experiences in the past. We really didn't need to worry though! They made us feel completely at ease from the very start. We met up beforehand, which was so reassuring, and their communication through the Rover app was fantastic throughout. Over the two weeks we received lots of photos and regular updates, and nothing ever seemed to be too much trouble. It was clear that Jasper wasn't just being looked after – he was treated like part of the family, which meant the world to us. We came home to a very happy, relaxed dog, and we wouldn't hesitate to book with them again. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Jasper!

James was amazing with our little Holly i was very anxious about leaving her as ive never done before but James and his partner put my mind at rest with plenty of photos and updates on how Holly was doing. Holly was very well cared for and I am so happy with the care she received and as a nervous owner I can 100% say I will be using James from now on should we need to leave Holly and i would recomend him to anyone looking for a doggy sitter
