“Jade looked after our dog, Winnie, for eight nights, and we couldn't have been happier with the care she received. From the very first communication, Jade was warm, friendly, and reassuring. Winnie had a trial day before her stay, and on both occasions she ran straight in as soon as the front door opened, which told us everything we needed to know! Jade kept us updated throughout Winnie's stay with regular photos, which was greatly appreciated. At no point did I worry about Winnie's welfare, and considering the UK was in the middle of a heatwave, that was especially reassuring. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Jade to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy dog boarder. Winnie was clearly happy and well looked after, and we'll definitely be booking with Jade again”
“Absolutely recommend to anyone, was worried my piggy-may would struggle, but they helped her settle in quickly, will be booking with them again, can't hype them up enough”
“Teddy stayed with William for 4 nights and we couldn’t be happier with our choice. William kept us updated throughout, and Teddy was clearly cared for like one of his own, he looks so happy and content. We received regular photos, and William is very quick to respond, which gave us real peace of mind. This was our first time using Rover, so I was a little sceptical, but honestly I can’t fault a thing. We will definitely be making regular bookings and will not be going anywhere else. So glad we found William, thank you!”
“It was our first time using the Rover app and we couldn’t have been luckier with picking Carly to look after our puppy! She was wonderful from start to finish! Our dog has just returned from his holiday with Carly and cried at the door for her when she left! Thank you for making the process of leaving him overnight for the first time so easy and being so thoughtful and kind with all your communication! We will 100 per cent be using you again!”
“Aston was amazing in every way. He looked after our dog at short notice and took such great care of him. Our dog had so much fun with Aston and his dogs that he barely wanted to come home! Aston has a wonderful setup and we hope to book with him again soon.”

There is also a large, secure garden where dogs can safely play and enjoy time outdoors. I am experienced with different dog personalities and needs, and I always make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and treated like part of the family. For extra peace of mind, I am pet first aid and CPR trained, and BPSS checked. My husband and I both work from home, so your dog will have constant supervision, care, and company throughout the day.

We also have two friendly dogs who are used to being around others. Our home is calm, clean, and pet-friendly, and dogs are treated as part of the family – they are welcome on the sofa for cuddles. I am pet first aid and CPR trained, and BPSS checked, so your dog will always be in safe and responsible hands.
“Chloe and her family gave Max a home from home loving experience. We came back to a happy healthy dog, pleased to see us but in no rush to leave Chloe! In extreme temperatures they had clearly looked after him including taking him for a swim to the beach. Chloe sent me photos and updates which were much appreciated. We will definitely be booking with Chloe again.”

My services are bespoke and tailored to your your treasured pets, individual needs. I have an enhanced DBS certificate. I'm an experienced dog groomer, having offered dog grooming for the last three years so if your pet needs a pampering, I can also offer that service for an additional fee that is absolutely reasonable in price. My home has a large field and walled garden as well as lots of countryside walks. if you have other animals such as cats, birds farm animals or small companion mammals I can also take care of these. Before booking it is essential I meet you to discuss your needs and tell your package and then you know your animals are in safe hands. Currently I only offer weekend care for your pets as I work as an animal care teacher in a local secondary school. From the 20th July I will be full time. I love animals and have spent my whole life around them. I have two beautiful dogs, Loulou an English Springer spaniel who is our school therapy dog and Mabel a one year old German Shorthaired Pointer.

“Chloe was polite, accommodating and amazing witg Maia. She soothed all my fears (it was the first time leaving Maia with someone other then family/friend) and sent updates and responded quickly to all my messages and questions. I couldnt be happier with her service, Maia was very happy with Chloe and would definetly use Chloe again or reccommend her.”
“How lucky we were to find Sophie! The first time we’ve really left our 1 year old pup Molly and we couldn’t have left her in better hands. Sophie sent us regular updates with photos and it was clear Molly was extremely happy, which meant we were relaxed and happy too. Sophie’s farm is amazing, so much space for Molly to safely run around and explore. I’m not sure Molly was keen to leave. Sophie is kind, caring and Molly loved her immediately, which speaks volumes. Unfortunately our return flights were cancelled and we were stuck overseas. Sophie was so flexible, keeping Molly for longer and taking away that extra worry. We would highly recommend booking your fur baby in for a holibobs of their own whilst you have yours.”
“Winnie had a lovely time staying with Sandra, her husband and Charlie the dog. They all made her feel very welcome and part of the family. We got some lovely photos and videos of Winnie enjoying her day out which was great. Thanks Sandra!”
“Murali was absolutely wonderful - he took our whippet, Poppet, at short notice and looked after her beautifully. He sent lots of photos and videos whilst she was staying with him and his family, and was highly responsive at all times. I would definitely recommend him and will book Poppy in again with him whenever possible.”
“Elton had a great time staying with Pedro and his family. He was well cared for and we were updated with how he was getting on. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Pedro. Thanks so much.”
“Merlin loved his stay with Fiona and her family! We had plenty of lovely updates from Fiona and it was great to see and hear what they had been up to. Definitely recommend and will be returning!”
“Pernille had our little Jack Russell for a long weekend and he had the absolute best time! Pernille is so lovely and gave him loads of love and attention. We got lots of pictures, videos and updates which was so reassuring when away from our loved ones! Wouldn’t hesitate a second for our dog to have another stay.”
About: I’ve been walking dogs since I was 14, starting by helping an elderly lady with her dogs. That experience taught me how important patience, reliability, and understanding each dog’s individual needs are. I also have my own Pomeranians, so I’m used to caring for high maintenance breeds that require plenty of attention and exercise. (My dogs will not be there whilst looking after yours) Looking after my own dogs has given me hands on experience with different personalities, routines, and care requirements. I treat every dog as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. Whether it’s a relaxed stroll, an energetic walk, or simply providing lots of love and attention, I’m committed to giving every pet the best possible care. As a teacher, I’m available to walk dogs on weekends throughout the year. During school holidays and half terms, which are frequent, I have much more flexibility and am available for dog sitting, drop in visits, and longer periods of care while you’re away. This means your pet can enjoy plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship during your holiday bookings, giving you peace of mind that they’re in safe and caring hands. Your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priorities. I’ve recently bought my own home, which has a secure, fully fenced garden with plenty of space for dogs to run around, play, and go to the toilet safely. Inside, my home is clean, calm, and welcoming, with plenty of room for pets to relax. During warmer weather, the house stays nice and cool, helping to keep dogs comfortable and prevent them from overheating. I’ll follow your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, playtime, and lots of love and attention, so they feel happy and at home while they’re with me. If your pet is more comfortable in familiar surroundings, I’m also happy to pet sit in your home, ensuring they can stick to their usual routine while receiving the same loving, reliable care.
About: I’ve had dogs & cats all my life! I love how their different personalities shine through 😀 I currently have 1 rescue dog & 2 indoor cats plus a tortoise! I have recently built a catio for the cats so they can enjoy the outdoors. I walk my dog every day & work from home so they always have company! I work from home every day so can be flexible & available most days. I walk my dog every day either before work or at lunch time 😀 I have a fully enclosed garden with grass which my dog won’t mind sharing with another dog-friendly dog ☺️ my cats are dog savvy but will keep themselves to themselves! I don’t mind where the pets go, happy for them to sleep on the floor or the sofa!
“Thankyou so much for having Barney! You guys went above and beyond for his needs and were stars sending pictures & videos of him while we was on holiday. Thankyou so much (apologies it’s late life’s been so full on since being home)”

“Alex looked after my cats for the first time recently and she did an amazing job. She updated me everyday after each visit and I received photos daily which was delightful to receive. She put my mind at rest too knowing my 2 cats were being looked after and my house was too. A huge thank you again to you Alex you’re a star Xx”
“What an absolute legend. Jade accommodated my request for a last minute booking and I’m so grateful. Jade is extremely tidy and followed a detailed meds plan with ease. The cats (Gertrude & Freya) both want to thank Jade too for being kind and gentle and looking after them whilst I was away on business. Don’t scroll by…..book Jade and know your animals are in safe hands.”
About: Hi everyone! As someone who has grown up with cats my entire life, and always worried about leaving my precious fur babies in someone else’s care, I completely understand the questions, concerns, and anxieties that come with choosing a cat sitter. Your cats are family, and finding someone you can trust is so important. Below are some of the questions I get asked most often. If there’s anything else you’d like to know, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. No question is too small! Do you have experience looking after cats? Absolutely! I have grown up with cats all my life so I am not stranger to their needs and I am currently a proud cat dad to a gorgeous girl: Doris, my beautiful tortoiseshell domestic shorthair (although I mostly call her “Tidley” because she’s such a tiny kitty!). While I love being an uncle to my nieces and nephews, I’ll admit it… I’m a cat dad through and through! Caring for cats isn’t just something I do, it’s something I genuinely love.
“Victoria did an amazing job looking after my cat. Quinn is an anxious cat who tends to hide from people but she warmed up to Victoria while she was visiting. Even allowing her a pet or two. Would definitely recommend.”
“I think this is the 4th time Jenny has looked after my cat. She gives me daily updates, and I can clearly see she looks after Lucifer whilst I am away and spends time with him. Thanks Jenny”
“Absolutely recommend to anyone, was worried my piggy-may would struggle, but they helped her settle in quickly, will be booking with them again, can't hype them up enough”
“Katherine is absolutely phenomenal! From the moment she stepped in, Leo was instantly at ease which says a lot, considering how picky he can be. She is incredibly attentive, reliable, and clearly have a genuine love for animals. Daily updates, adorable photos, and thoughtful care made us feel completely confident and relaxed while we were away.”
“Elisha was fab as always, regular communication with photos and videos of my boy purring his head off and playing. I came home to a very happy cat and a well looked after home. Thank you!”
About: I had my gorgeous cocker spaniel dog from the age of 10-22, he unfortunately passed away a in May 2023 and since then I have been desperate to look after other dogs and to continue the activities that I did with mine. I am sporty and active, so dog walking and playing with them is an easy yes from me! I am completely aware and knowledgable of the health and safety guides for dogs! My boyfriend also has a boxer dog who I am extremely friendly and attached with so bigger and stronger dogs are not an issue for me. I am currently living at my family home for the next year after finishing university and am looking to fulfil my time here with caring for and walking dogs whenever possible! I have a fenced garden and chicken wire all around the bushes to prevent escaping or accidental wondering off - I own a huge field perfect for walking by my house which connects to other walking fields to walk by and play around safely - everything is walking distance but also living near other amazing places to walk your dogs
“First time getting someone to look after our cats and was a bit of a last minute booking so very appreciative of Megan for helping us out. She came over and we talked through all of their needs a few days before which was very reassuring. Got some lovely pictures sent through whilst she was with our boys and you could tell they both had a great time with her! Thanks again Megan, will definitely be booking you again when needed! 😊”
“Zoe did a lovely job looking after my old car, he's a bit too elderly for a cattery so having someone pop in to feed and fuss was perfect. I got regular updates and was kept in the loop. Fabulous service”
“Freya was superb. Engaged and communication great prior to her house and cat sitting. We met beforehand to discuss everything and she kept me updated whilst we were away. Thanks Freya. Reliable, trustworthy and looked after my fur babies!”
“Hazel was amazing. I needed her to help out for a few extra few days due to an emergency, she also helped with some things around the house to help me out on my return. Thank you Hazel”
“Rebecca cared for our cat Luna when we were away overnight, good communication throughout and very thorough visit/photos - even took extra time to coax a rather nervous cat to come and accept her food so she could send us a video”
“It's the second time Sarah looked after my furry kids and she was brilliant. Even my not very sociable cat got close to her. I definitely recommend her and will not hesitate to book again.”

“Lauren dog sat for me for the first time yesterday with my new puppy Gwen. The house and garden are well set out for pets, and Lauren and her mum are lovely. I got pictures and updates, and felt Gwen had been very well cared for. I will be using Lauren again.”

“We recently met Aston, and had a meet and greet and separate trial day for our dog. We were really pleased that it was a success. Aston is in a lovely rural location with lots of enclosed, secure space for dogs to explore and play in. He’s very knowledgeable about dogs and handling, as he’s got three dogs of his own! Our dog is very sociable, so got on really well with his ‘pack’ and enjoyed time spent there. We will be continuing to use Astons services and would recommend him to others looking for a ‘home from home’ professional service and environment….”
“William looked after my pup for a few hours at short notice so I could have some puppy free time to pack up our house! Wednesday was happy to stay with William, and was in good spirits when I went to pick her up. William is professional, polite and trustworthy, thanks William!”
About: *Insured for pet sitting, walking, pet transportation and first aid trained* Hello! Excited to meet you and your fluffy pals. I'm dog mad, I have two miniature dachshunds (both rescues) who have separation anxiety and bark like Dobermans as soon as we set foot outside the house. I know what it's like not to be able to leave your dog alone, I use dog sitters myself frequently. I find it extremely difficult leaving my doxies with someone else so I can appreciate how nervous you might be feeling! I'll make it my mission not only to make your dog feel comfortable but you as well. I let dogs approach me first and calmly throw treats for them in the initial meeting, without overwhelming them with attention immediately. Some dogs are uber friendly and this might be unnecessary! But I find this is usually the fastest way to making friends. I've never known life without dogs. I was 20 (I'm 30 now) when I helped my 15 year old cocker spaniel through his old age, my parents surprised me with him as a puppy when I was 5. I also had a beautiful Spaniel cross rescue girl as a second family dog and a visiting Border Collie who was very protective of my younger self. My first loves! Over the years I have dog sat for many friends, family and colleagues - everything from a Shih Tzu, Maltese, Labradoodle, Labrador to a Greek Kokoni and beyond! My husband and I work from home in a 3 bed terraced house with a fenced garden. I am in charge of my own schedule and free to concentrate on looking after other peoples dogs while he looks after our own. We always keep our own dogs completely seperate from the dogs we look after to reduce stress on our dachshunds from constantly having to meet new dogs. Sometimes they are kept gated upstairs and other times my husband will take them elsewhere. I am available weekdays and weekends. I'll adapt my day to suit your dogs and I'll make sure they are happy, stimulated and relaxed with constant picture updates. We can take up to three dogs from the same family. We can accept dogs from different families only if all owners are happy and the dogs are well behaved and social. We cannot accept any booking without meeting the dog first at our home. Dogs should be crate trained or well trained enough to stay in their bed for overnight stays. Unfortunately we cannot accept dogs who are loud overnight to protect our neighbours (no complaints at all so far!). I'll never force attention onto your dog other than using distractions such as treats and toys, I'll let them come to me when they're ready to say hello in the early stages to allow them to get to know me gradually. The more info you can tell me about your pup the better!
“Thank you for the lovely warm welcome you gave Pippin this morning, and she clearly enjoyed herself - great photos, thank you! I am very grateful and look forward to booking another session soon. Best wishes, Cordelia”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and have always had a deep love for them. I currently have my own dog, who is nearly 2, and I regularly look after friends' and family members' dogs. Caring for dogs, whether going on long walks, playing fetch in the park, or simply giving them love and attention, is something I truly enjoy. My ultimate dream job would be to run a doggy daycare, where I could dedicate my time to providing the best care and fun experiences for dogs all day every day! I am available on weekends to look after your pets. I can board from Friday evening to Sunday night. I have a dog myself, he goes to doggy daycare twice a week, and then my partner works from home the other two days. I live in a house with a back garden in Andover. There are beautiful walks right on my door step, and enclosed fields not far from my house.
“Tracy goes above and beyond to accommodate Jasper and has allowed me some amazing flexibility with our bookings to know Jasper is in great hands all the while he is with Tracy. He comes home happy and shattered! :)”
About: I absolutely love dogs. I’m easy going & reliable and live in a house with a decent back garden and obviously plenty of green space. Your dog will be very well looked after and part of my day to day life. I’ve looked after a number of breeds from small, medium and large and I’ve loved them all and enjoy their company. I work for a beauty brand on a 4 day week basis. So I often get 3 days off in a row and the odd days off in the week. I’ve uploaded my availability to reflect exactly when I’m free. I live in a lovely ground floor flat and have a large room where dogs are welcome to kip in there with me. We have a fenced back garden and no other pets live here full time.
“Winnie had an amazing time. Jade was very accommodating with drop off times and flexible with pick up. Winnie slept which is amazing when she is anywhere but home, so clearly felt relaxed and comfortable. Plenty of fun and play, an amazing day and a tired pup. Would definitely use again. Thanks”
About: We (my husband James and I) can offer a truly home from home experience and host solo dogs if preferred as we no longer have our own pets. We are huge dog lovers and have owned dogs since 2010 but our last one passed in Autumn 25. We love having dog guests to stay and they are treated like a part of the family. Over the past 5 years we have had repeat visits from a Rottweiler, Husky, Boxer and a pair of lovely Spaniels. Between James and I, one of us will always be able to be at home when we have a dog guest as we work flexibly. We are an active family and have countryside walks right outside our door so we are happy to take our dog guests out for fun walks in fields and forests! We have a decent sized secure garden with 6 ft wooden fences. We will happily work with dog owners to understand the routines which work for the dog to support and help them to settle with us.
About: I offer a safe, reliable pet transport and care service using my own secure car. Because I work from home most of the time, I am perfect for busy owners who need help getting their pets to late vet appointments, grooming sessions, or evening feeding visits. I treat every animal with total patience and care. My schedule is highly flexible during the week, which is exactly when many pet owners are busy or at work. I can easily accommodate late-day pet transport, emergency vet runs, grooming drop-offs, or evening home visits. Because my routine is consistent, you can rely on me for punctual, dependable care when you need it most. Safety is my absolute priority when transporting and caring for your pets. When using my pet taxi service, your animal will be securely fastened using specialised pet seatbelts, harnesses, or secure travel crates to ensure a smooth and safe journey. If I am visiting your home, I strictly follow your specific routines, double-check that all gates and doors are locked, and maintain a calm, stress-free environment. I will also send you quick text and photo updates after every trip or visit so you always have total peace of mind.

About: I have many years of animal care experience. From owning my own pets, working on a horse yard, volunteering at animal sanctuary’s and pet sitting for many people regularly over the last 20 years. I am passionate about animal care and no pet is too big or too small for my services! From drop ins to boarding, I love it all! Get in touch to see how I can help you ☺️ I make my own diary for work, so fortunate to have flexibility! I also have my own pets to care for so it’s a part of my usual day. I generally work from home, have 3 very friendly dogs who love company of all creatures! I’m very lucky! I have a large garden and enough room for every one to find space should they want it!

About: Hey, I'm Nicola! Total animal lover and responsible pet sitter. I understand that leaving your dog can be an anxious and worrying time and that you want to leave them in the best care possible whilst you're away so it's important to find the right care for your pets when your away. I'm comfortable with many different sizes and breeds of dog and love to walk, play, cuddle and train dogs. I have specific experience with nervous/anxious dogs that need a little more time getting to know you but am also comfortable with busy, high-energy dogs. I can communicate with you and send updates of your lovely pets whilst you are away so that you are free to enjoy your time away reassured that your pets are in good hands until you return. I'm available primarily for walks, drop-in visits and daycare for your lovely pets. I have very good availability over the coming months, let me know when you are looking to book for and I will get back to you quickly. At this time I'm unfortunately unable to keep pets in my own home, however I can travel to your home to check on, walk and look after your lovely pets.
About: I've taken care of all kinds of dogs - from tiny chihuahuas to great weimaraners! My family have always kept dogs as pets so I have a lot of personal experience. If any one needs a dog sitter (friends, family, neighbours) I am the go to. My regular clients include: 🐾 Pete the Romanian street dog - a senior rescue who I have taken care of since he was just 14 months (he is now 10!). At nearly 30kg, he still thinks he's king of the streets and has some high needs, including lots of play time, long walks and private feeding. A total softie and sweetheart all round. 🐾 Dudley the jackapoo, Lottie the cockapoo, Woody the labradoodle and Rhea the frenchie - these four all live together and have varying needs. Woody being the biggest naturally needs the longest and an extra walk a day, as well as Lottie who is incredibly high energy. She can play fetch until your arm falls off! Dudley is an old man now who needs extra care due to his cataracts and Rhea is a spritely young thing who needs to remain separated from the others at all times. 🐾 Howard the frenchie - Howard is a very laid back and loving frenchie who is now 7. I've known him since he was a pup and although hes not quite an old man yet, his careplan has been adjusted to meet his slowing pace. He still loves playtime but also loves to cuddle up on the sofa and share the bed at night. 🐾 Bella the golden retriever - Bella is another older dog who I've looked after since she was a puppy. The old girl will surprise you though, she's still as active as she was when she was small. I also use to provide care for he little brother Dudley, a black labrador. They use to do everything together, even walks but he sadly passed away. I can currently only provide house sitting on weekends but I can offer walks and drop ins all day, everyday. I hope to offer boarding and day care soon. I have a large garden and my house backs onto ladies walk so plenty of space to run around and lovely countryside for long walks. I have my own small dog (cavapoo), he is friendly but if your dog doesnt like other dogs, I have the means to keep them separated. There is space for a crate if that's what your dog prefers. We usually go for walks morning and evening but this can be adjusted where necessary.
About: I frequently care for and walk my sister's Golden Retriever, Monty. In addition to my personal experience with dogs, I have recently returned from volunteering at Udruga Farmica, a non-profit animal shelter that currently cares for 132 dogs, 1 cat, 3 cows, 6 sheep, 2 donkeys, 2 ponies, and 4 pigs. I volunteered there for 3 months this year, having previously spent one month volunteering in December. It was an incredibly rewarding and meaningful experience that allowed me to gain hands-on experience in animal care, including feeding, administering medication, accompanying animals on veterinary visits, exercising dogs through regular walks, and providing enrichment through play and social interaction. Many of the dogs at the shelter had previously lived as street strays and, as a result, often displayed a range of behavioural challenges. Through my volunteering, I learned how to adapt my approach to suit each dog’s individual needs, helping them build trust and confidence while supporting basic training and positive behavioural development.I would be happy to provide a personal reference from the manager of the organisation upon request. Last year, I made the decision to resign from my role as a Funeral Arranger in order to pursue my passion for travel and animal welfare. This led me to spend time abroad volunteering at a very special animal shelter in Croatia, where I gained invaluable hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals. Having recently returned to the UK, I am currently helping my sister care for her children while my brother-in-law is working away. Two of the children have additional needs, which has further strengthened my patience, adaptability, and caring nature. As my support is provided on a flexible basis, I currently have full availability and can accommodate a wide range of working hours, including weekdays, evenings, weekends, and short-notice bookings. I understand that every pet is unique and that entering a pet’s home means stepping into their safe space and established routine. When caring for a dog or cat in someone else’s home, I take the time to learn their individual needs, habits, likes, dislikes, and any special requirements they may have. I carefully follow feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication instructions, and household rules to ensure consistency and minimise stress while their owners are away. Safety is always my highest priority. I make sure doors, gates, and windows are secure, remove any potential hazards, and remain attentive to changes in behaviour that may indicate discomfort, illness, or anxiety. I understand that pets can feel unsettled when their owners are absent, so I focus on creating a calm, reassuring environment where they feel comfortable and secure. Whether that means energetic walks and playtime for an active dog or quiet companionship and gentle affection for a senior cat, I adapt my approach to suit each animal’s personality. My goal is not only to meet a pet’s basic needs but to ensure they feel loved, safe, and happy while maintaining the routines and standards of care they are accustomed to. I treat every animal as if they were my own and every home with the same respect and care that I would expect for my own.
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and currently have two of my own, so I truly understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone you trust. I work from home, which means your dog will have constant supervision, care, and companionship throughout the day. I have a 3-year-old daughter who has grown up around dogs and is very gentle and respectful with them. My home is calm, loving, and pet-friendly. There is also a large, secure garden where dogs can safely play and enjoy time outdoors. I am experienced with different dog personalities and needs, and I always make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and treated like part of the family. For extra peace of mind, I am pet first aid and CPR trained, and BPSS checked. My husband and I both work from home, so your dog will have constant supervision, care, and company throughout the day. Our routine is very flexible, allowing plenty of time for walks, play, and rest. Dogs are never left alone for long periods, and we can easily adapt to your pet’s usual schedule and needs. I also provide regular photo and video updates for your peace of mind. We have a large, fully fenced and secure garden where dogs can safely play and explore. We also have two friendly dogs who are used to being around others. Our home is calm, clean, and pet-friendly, and dogs are treated as part of the family – they are welcome on the sofa for cuddles. I am pet first aid and CPR trained, and BPSS checked, so your dog will always be in safe and responsible hands.

About: I cannot tell you how hard it was to pick photos for a profile page, what dog lover does not have a camera roll just full of photos and videos of their dogs and other people's dogs 😅?! Trying to limit myself was so hard! I've had dogs in my life since I was 5 years old, and I couldn't imagine my life without them. Cocker Spaniels were our family dogs, we had Sadie from a puppy, she was an angel, couldn't have grown up with a better companion. Then we rescued Honey, another Cocker Spaniel, she was also a family dog. My first dog I had as an adult and on my own, was an Italian Greyhound named Mo. He was my soulmate. The most snooziest of all snoozers. Loved nothing more than being with you wherever you went, cafes, friends houses, pottering round the shops, holidays with you. Wherever you were, he was, finding every opportunity to curl up on your lap and take ANOTHER nap. Mo had digestive medical issues so I've had plenty of experience in special diets, and medication control. I will only ever follow your routine. After Mo, I rescued a little Spanish Terrier called Pippin. We also thought he actually had Italian Greyhound in him too, he had these long skinny legs and a little nipped in waist. He had his terrier side to him for sure, but he had all the personality and funny character traits of a Greyhound, running round like a mad goose then crashing 5 minutes later on your lap, fast asleep. Pippin was rescued from a charity, where he was previously a stray, so I had no history on what he was like, or where he had come from. I sought help from a number of professional trainers to help me understand what being a best friend to a rescue dog looks like. Sadly Mo and Pippin are no longer with me, so there will be no resident dog here. This does mean that I can give all my love and attention to your gorgeous four paws, and I can't wait to open my arms to them. I'm really lucky enough to have friends and family who also have dogs, so they are always welcome round mine whenever they need a little holiday retreat of their own. Surrounding myself with dogs is truly my most favourite time of the day. I am currently working from home, so I will be able to spend the day with your bestest furry angels. My work is also portable too, so if needed to board at your home then I can bring my work with me. I am available during the week, and most weekends. I have a 100ft long garden that has 6ft fences all around. Plenty of space for sniffs, sprints and zoomies. Your dog/s are welcome to the whole house, no where is off limits (I'd LOVE some sofa and bed cuddles)!
About: I’ve had dogs & cats all my life! I love how their different personalities shine through 😀 I currently have 1 rescue dog & 2 indoor cats plus a tortoise!

I work from home every day so can be flexible & available most days. I walk my dog every day either before work or at lunch time 😀 I have a fully enclosed garden with grass which my dog won’t mind sharing with another dog-friendly dog ☺️ my cats are dog savvy but will keep themselves to themselves! I don’t mind where the pets go, happy for them to sleep on the floor or the sofa!

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and have always had a deep love for them. I currently have my own dog, who is nearly 2, and I regularly look after friends' and family members' dogs. Caring for dogs, whether going on long walks, playing fetch in the park, or simply giving them love and attention, is something I truly enjoy. My ultimate dream job would be to run a doggy daycare, where I could dedicate my time to providing the best care and fun experiences for dogs all day every day! I am available on weekends to look after your pets. I can board from Friday evening to Sunday night. I have a dog myself, he goes to doggy daycare twice a week, and then my partner works from home the other two days. I live in a house with a back garden in Andover. There are beautiful walks right on my door step, and enclosed fields not far from my house.
About: I am currently a University student so am based in Gloucester September - December and Andover June -September and mid December to January!! Am able to be very flexible, can accept sits as soon as 12 hours before and cancellations the same, very happy to work with any and all routines and have experience with disabled, anxious and “difficult” animals and am more than happy to work around whatever makes them comfortable. I have always loved animals and have been surrounded buy them from a young age. we had dogs, cats, rabbits, fish, tortoises and a hedgehog! i have been working and studying with animals for about 8/9 years now and am currently studying Clinical Animal Behavior and Training at University. I honestly love doing rover work while studying as not only does it mean I have a lovely quiet place to study but going out on walks means I get out and about in study breaks which is so important for productivity and mental health. I am currently open for the summer bookings from June to September I will be operating mainly in the south west as I will be based in Andover in Hampshire though could travel further for a long stay. i am currently a student studying animal behavior at university, this means my schedule is quite open, having a full day of lectures on a Tuesday and 2-3 hours on Monday and Thursday. I can essentially learn online and do all of my work from a kitchen table which is perfect for looking after pets. I'm afraid I cannot offer boarding as I live in student accommodation and I wouldn't like to put any dog in a potentially stressful environment! When I'm sitting at the house I will never leave the house for longer than your animal is happy with which we can talk about, as I don't have many other responsibilities I will not have any unexpected reasons to leave. I often spend my days at a kitchen table on a sofa with a dog bed next to me, this way you'll pet can feel that they can come as close or stay as far away as they like! I love a good cuddle but will respect personal space if they prefer. Often first morning/day I try to keep myself "small" so that your animal can investigate me in their home properly this often looks as if I'm ignoring your pet as I want them to feel at ease to investigate me as much as they want and get comfortable with me without me forcing myself into their space. I never, ever mingle any animals be them dogs, cats or hamsters(!) that have not previously met for safety reasons.

“Teddy stayed with William for 4 nights and we couldn’t be happier with our choice. William kept us updated throughout, and Teddy was clearly cared for like one of his own, he looks so happy and content. We received regular photos, and William is very quick to respond, which gave us real peace of mind. This was our first time using Rover, so I was a little sceptical, but honestly I can’t fault a thing. We will definitely be making regular bookings and will not be going anywhere else. So glad we found William, thank you!”
“It was our first time using the Rover app and we couldn’t have been luckier with picking Carly to look after our puppy! She was wonderful from start to finish! Our dog has just returned from his holiday with Carly and cried at the door for her when she left! Thank you for making the process of leaving him overnight for the first time so easy and being so thoughtful and kind with all your communication! We will 100 per cent be using you again!”
“Aston was amazing in every way. He looked after our dog at short notice and took such great care of him. Our dog had so much fun with Aston and his dogs that he barely wanted to come home! Aston has a wonderful setup and we hope to book with him again soon.”
“Chloe and her family gave Max a home from home loving experience. We came back to a happy healthy dog, pleased to see us but in no rush to leave Chloe! In extreme temperatures they had clearly looked after him including taking him for a swim to the beach. Chloe sent me photos and updates which were much appreciated. We will definitely be booking with Chloe again.”

“Chloe was polite, accommodating and amazing witg Maia. She soothed all my fears (it was the first time leaving Maia with someone other then family/friend) and sent updates and responded quickly to all my messages and questions. I couldnt be happier with her service, Maia was very happy with Chloe and would definetly use Chloe again or reccommend her.”
“How lucky we were to find Sophie! The first time we’ve really left our 1 year old pup Molly and we couldn’t have left her in better hands. Sophie sent us regular updates with photos and it was clear Molly was extremely happy, which meant we were relaxed and happy too. Sophie’s farm is amazing, so much space for Molly to safely run around and explore. I’m not sure Molly was keen to leave. Sophie is kind, caring and Molly loved her immediately, which speaks volumes. Unfortunately our return flights were cancelled and we were stuck overseas. Sophie was so flexible, keeping Molly for longer and taking away that extra worry. We would highly recommend booking your fur baby in for a holibobs of their own whilst you have yours.”
“Murali was absolutely wonderful - he took our whippet, Poppet, at short notice and looked after her beautifully. He sent lots of photos and videos whilst she was staying with him and his family, and was highly responsive at all times. I would definitely recommend him and will book Poppy in again with him whenever possible.”
“Elton had a great time staying with Pedro and his family. He was well cared for and we were updated with how he was getting on. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Pedro. Thanks so much.”
“Merlin loved his stay with Fiona and her family! We had plenty of lovely updates from Fiona and it was great to see and hear what they had been up to. Definitely recommend and will be returning!”
“Pernille had our little Jack Russell for a long weekend and he had the absolute best time! Pernille is so lovely and gave him loads of love and attention. We got lots of pictures, videos and updates which was so reassuring when away from our loved ones! Wouldn’t hesitate a second for our dog to have another stay.”

“Thankyou so much for having Barney! You guys went above and beyond for his needs and were stars sending pictures & videos of him while we was on holiday. Thankyou so much (apologies it’s late life’s been so full on since being home)”
“Eleanor and Raymond took such wonderful care of Lucy and all her little quirks. They went above and beyond, taking the time to get to know her personality - her likes, dislikes, and her favourite routine. They managed everything with a genuine affection for her. It was such a comfort to know she was in such capable, caring hands while we were away. We came home to a happy, relaxed pup, and we couldn’t be more grateful. Highly recommend!”
“Dee had a wonderful stay with Louise, enjoying the company of Cho. Excellent communication with Louise both prior to and during the stay. Highly recommend and thank you so much.”
“David was brilliant. He is a real natural with dogs. Juno was very happy with him, he followed her routines and he kept me well informed. I highly recommend him and will definitely use him again.”
“Kate and her partner looked after my dog, Charlie, for a full week, and I couldn’t have asked for better care. They kept me updated throughout with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. During the heatwave, they made sure Charlie stayed cool and comfortable and took him for early morning walks before it got too hot, which I really appreciated. They listened to everything I asked and followed all of my requests perfectly. They also picked Charlie up and dropped him back home, making everything so easy. On top of all that, their price was very reasonable and great value for the level of care Charlie received. They are both such lovely, caring people, and it was clear Charlie was very well looked after and happy with them. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Kate again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, genuinely caring, and great value. Thank you both so much! Charlie cant wait to come back 🐾”
“Matt & Teddy were wonderful companions for Atti. Matt went above and beyond to keep in touch with us and was eager to know Atti’s preferences. Matt’s love of dogs (& perhaps particularly Golden Retrievers!) shone through. Atti came home calm & happy.”
