“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.”

“Emma was fab from start to finish, loads of pictures and updates. Lovely homely environment for our Frank he thoroughly enjoyed his stay. We woukd highly recommend anyone to leave their furbabys with Emma, we would definitely use her again.”

“Jennifer is lovely! Highly recommend! I booked the wrong night & she responded immediately upon me realising my mistake (right before I was about to drop him off!) saying not to worry & she’d be able to have my dog Teddy on the day/ night I needed. She sent lots of pics & updates, and I collected a very happy pup! Thank you!”

“So happy to have found Lynn to look after our golden retriever Alfie. He is not used to being away from us but settled quickly and has been really happy with Lynn and her family while we were away. Lynn sent us regular updates and lots of pictures, so we always knew he was ok and having a good time. We will definitely use Lynn again in the future.”

“We left our Bonbon with Charlene while on trip locally. Charlene took the time to meet with us via video chat before arriving and she has been extremely flexible to accommodate us with our specific holiday arrangements and shared reassuring photos and updates about Bonbon settling in after we left her ☺️. Bonbon loved her time with Charlene and I had complete peace of mind knowing she was in a loving and caring home. Thank you Charlene! We’ll be in touch if we’ll be visiting the area in the future ☺️🐾”

“Samantha was great with Nugget. From the first meeting I could tell he would be OK with her. When I went to pick him up, it looked like he didn't want to leave. Samantha is the best if you need a weekend away. Will definitely be asking her again, if we need another weekend away”


“Remi stayed with Helen for 5 days when we went on holiday. Helen was absolutely great with Remi and took him to loads of places to explore and just took great general care of him. She was really good with providing updates of their adventures. Would definitely recommend if you’re looking for someone to care for your pups”

About: We've each had our own dogs separately for most of our lives. We've grown up looking after friends or neighbours dogs frequently, we now have our own spaniel together and he loves a play date. I work full time from home as a software developer so I have plenty time and opportunity to play with dogs and let them outside. We have a fenced back garden and a spaniel of our own for your pet to play with, we have plenty room in the office and living rooms for them to relax and play.

About: Hi! 👋 I love dogs, having trained 3 of my own and helped family and friends train theirs. I know how hard it is to leave your dog with someone else, hoping they will have a good time. 🥺 I got my start volunteering with a family friend who rehabilitated dogs. I specialise in looking after small to medium dogs. I enjoy stick/ball throwing. And have previous experience watching other people’s dogs. I have a medium-sized fenced garden with a big lawn perfect for zoomies! 🐕💨🍃 I would love to provide a comforting, safe and gentle presence for your fluffy baby when you are away, looking after them like they’re one of my own ❤️ 🐾🐕🤗 I have experience with flat faced breeds (such as pugs & frenchies). As well as experience with senior dogs, and dogs that need medications and special diets. I have experience administering vet prescribed medications as pills, powders and using oral syringes. I have house-trained multiple dogs, and raised puppies so am happy to work with dogs that need puppy pads. 💦 I have supported dogs with cancer who need gentle & responsive care. ❤️🩹 Please let me know your doggy’s support needs including any behavioural quirks as I do have 2 very friendly and chill doggies who will be in the house. I work from home and can give your doggy lots of snuggles and attention. We also have plenty of toys for them to play with. My schedule is fairly flexible provided I get advanced notice. I have a medium sized fenced garden with a lawn for zoomies! I have 2 friendly lil puggies who would love to play with your doggy! I also have a crate for small to medium sized dogs and plenty of dog beds if your dog wants alone time.

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
