“Bekki was great, really reliable and left thorough updates promptly following her visits and sent photos and videos. My cat is shy so didn't come out at first, as she doesn't with anyone, but Bekki was brilliant talking to her so when she felt comfortable, she came out. She provided me with peace of mind while I was away which I am very grateful for. If I need to use Rover again, I will definitely see if Bekki's available.”
“This was our first time using Rover, and Lucy has set the bar very high. Lucy came to the house a few days before our trip to introduce herself and meet our elderly cat. She was on time, asked all the right questions, and you could see she has done this many times before. Lucy kept us up to date throughout our trip on how our cat was doing and sent pictures too. Great service and we had peace of mind the whole trip knowing Lucy was looking after Sheba AKA Beanie.”
“Holly was a wonderful cat sitter, making sure to send a picture of Squeak every day to let me know that she had seen her, I would definitely recommend her and will be sure to reach out to her again if I need another cat sitter.”

I’m confident in reading feline behaviour, providing a calm and safe environment, and making sure each cat feels comfortable and well looked after. I’m also experienced in feeding routines, cleaning, and maintaining high standards of hygiene while ensuring every cat receives attention and care suited to their individual needs
“I would recommend Melanie wholeheartedly to anyone who needs their pet cared for. She was brilliant, attentive, clearly cares for animals and I felt like my catbabies were 110% looked after. She also went above and beyond, watering plants, taking out the recycling and looking for my cat when she wasn't there for a couple of visits. Thank you! ”
About: I have had 4 cats in my life. I currently have 1 cat, a British shorthair tabby who is 2. My other cats reached 17 years of age. I adore cats and generally all animals. I care deeply for animals and think I was put on this planet to look after them. They are little angels who deserve care, love, affection and a happy long life.
“Dr Zohreh was amazing. This is the first time we have used Rover and we’re very nervous about leaving our precious kitties. She was so kind and patient and treated Mac and Mitsy so well. I actually believe they still miss her. We will always use her in future Thankyou so very much”
“Couldn’t ask for more! Took great care of our 2 cats, taking time to play with them and clear up after their mischief! Also very kindly put our heating on for our return and left us a really sweet card and some chocolates! Highly recommended!”
“This was our first time leaving Loki with a sitter and Lucy was great, we felt completely at ease and she kept us updated with how he was doing and photos. Would definitely rebook! Thank you Lucy😊”

“I had a very good experience with Daniel who came to look after my two cats. I appreciate that he took the time to come and meet them before hand whilst I was there. He kept me updated on each visit letting me know how they were doing and when I returned home both cats were happy and chilled. Thanks Daniel.”

About: I have been babysitting dogs for a few years now. I have always been a dog lover and fostered several dogs growing up. In the last few years, I have hosted dogs in my house over holidays and vacations. I also live an active life and take dogs for long walks and hikes. I know it can be hard to go out and make plans when you have a dog, I am always down to take care of your baby if you have dinners or date nights planned. I have also helped owners take their dogs to the vet or provide other kinds of support in taking care of their fur-babies. I currently work hybrid and have to be in the office only once or twice a week. My office is pet friendly and once I bond with your fur baby and I know their temperament, I can take them in (if needed). I live in an apartment with a decently sized balcony with high railings. Any fur baby that comes over can make themselves at home and explore the house. There are no sharp objects or harmful plants. I am very attentive to the needs of your pets, I have previously taken pets to the vet on behalf of the owners. There are a few lovely parks nearby where I can take your babies for a walk.
About: I have always had pets, ever since I was very little. I have had rabbits, hamsters, fish, cats, dogs and love them. I think having pets makes you a better person. Apart from taking care of my own, I collaborate with several animal shelters and take care of my friends' dogs or cats when they need them. I currently work as a Nanny so I could take care of your pets on the weekends full time and in between you can ask me about my schedule. I take care of pets as if they were my friends and in the end they end up being. I can't bring them to my house because the rent doesn't allow it, but I can do it at home or for a walk.

“It’s the first time we have left Brenda with anyone, she was met with a very warm welcome and we felt at ease straight away leaving her. When we picked her up she was pleased to see me and was lovely to hear that she had been a good girl too. We will definitely be requiring and using Daisy’s wonderful service again, knowing that Brenda is safe and happy.”

Claire is so calm and loving towards all dogs Elsie felt at home and we had a wonderful day knowing she was aged for the way we would.

About: I have had dogs since a child, I have always had dogs in my family as an adult, I have bred a few litters of puppies, trained my dogs, walk them every day, I groom my own dogs as well as others, I treat basic health issues. I’m sensitive to each individual dogs needs whether it’s exercise or time on their own. I believe I can read a dog’s body language and behaviour. I am firm but fair and find dogs like my routine. I am covered by my own pet insurance in case of emergencies. I’m retired so I’m at home as much as I want to be, I’m up early and can adopt any routine to suit any visiting dog, I have family and visiting grandchildren who would be supervised around any visiting dog, we all love dogs and they play a big part of our life. I generally do one big walk a day, forests, woods, parks, open land, beaches, I love walking and enjoy taking the dogs with me. I’m often working outside in the garden and the dogs love being free to explore the garden and checking up on me. I have a miniature poodle, my children have a toy poodle, a Cavapoo and a lurcher, all our dogs are well socialised and get along with other dogs. At the moment I have 2 dogs on the property, they get walked every day but I have 6 acres they can explore all day, they can go outside when they please, or they can also slob about on the sofas, play together or with their toys. Any visiting dog would be treated like my own. My dogs don’t need crate time but I'm happy to use a crate if a dog prefers the security of a limited area. Any new dog who comes for the day or boarding I will ask you to fill out a questionnaire so I know everything about your dog’s routine and care instructions, I want your dog to feel at home as much as possible.
About: I grew up with dogs, big and small. I am confident in my ability to keep your precious pet safe and happy. I have managed to successfully train my 2 1/2 Yr old rescue pup to do many tricks, she luvs to learn and enjoys her healthy treat rewards. Just minutes from our front door we we are very lucky to be surrounded by acres of beautiful green fields, you’d think you were in the heart of the country, lots of lovely walks for those energetic, enthusiastic pups. I don’t work, occasional I go grocery shopping or to the gym but most of the day I’m home. I was very lucky to retire early so have lots of time to spend with my four legged friends. We have a large enclosed outdoor space, 6ft fences, 2 gardens and a big enclosed drive way with 6ft wrought iron gates which are alway padlocked.
“Daniel has been great with our Dog, looking after his needs and even providing helpful tips along the way! Getting constant updates and some pictures helps us to be very reassured, and we will definitely be using him in the future instead of using a Kennel as we could tell our dog felt right at home with him, which is very important for us! He was very proactive in catering to our dog's needs and giving him his medication as instructed. You could tell he was very knowledgeable and has a real passion for dogs and their welfare. Overall, I would trust Daniel with our Dog any day.”

“I was nervous about leaving my pup Starla for the first time but Kerry was wonderful, friendly and supportive. She followed routine and kept me updated with pictures and videos of Starla settling in and enjoying herself which was greatly appreciated. By the end of the first day Starla had bonded well with Kerry and her dog Doris and was excited to see them again the next day. I'm sure she is going to miss you both!”

About: I am 56 and work shifts on the railway. I have plenty of free time and days off. I moved from London to Ashford two years ago. I now live on my own in a 2 bed coach house with plenty of dog friendly communal gardens and open spaces. I have owned and cared for dogs all my life and still miss having a dog at home. Although it is not practical for me to own a dog whilst I am still working I love to care for and walk dogs around my work schedule. I work shifts but have plenty of free time. I know well in advance of my shift patterns/days off ect. so booking my time should not be a problem. Although its not easy to commit myself for more than one or two nights at a time, i do have sometimes have blocks of days off so may be available for longer. My son sometimes comes down and stays with our pug (Jeff) and although he does not need too much exercise these days I still love taking him out and generally having him around.
About: I am exactly who I would want to leave my dog with or have my dog walked by as I put dogs in front of humans 😂 My small Munsterlander is 4 now and I’ve had her since a pup, we’ve recently moved back to the UK from Spain and I’m out with her on big ball playing walks 4/5 times per day as she is super active and I need the outside time too so I thought this would be perfect for me to get a bit of pocket money and be around my favourite animals at the same time. I have trained my girl since a pup and understand all aspects of dog training and how they operate in general so I’m happy to have dogs off the lead although at the same time happy to walk them on a long lead :) Walking wise I’ll have mine with me and she’s off the lead running chasing the ball in the local fields etc so any dog can join in and we’ll have a great time if you want me to have your dog overnight I’ll make it so they don’t even want to come back to you which is exactly what I would expect and hope for if I was to leave my baby! How will I do that? 🤔 I’ll make sure they have the best walks ever so we’re all chilled for cozy cuddle time and I’ll cook up something meaty for them super nutritional and make sure they sleep right next to me by the bed :) I actually do nothing all day everyday apart from look after my best mate (Maddie in my photo) since I’ve moved back here to the UK I find myself out 4/5 times per day with my dog so would be the exact same to look after another doggy :) There is no escape as we’re in a flat so no safety concerns in that sense this also encourages me even more to make sure once my doggy has chilled for a couple hours we’re back outside playing again as there isn’t a garden.

“Charlie is s fantastic dog walker. Reliable and friendly. But most of all my dog loves him. Have only used the local dog walking service but will definitely do an overnight stay when need it. Thanks for everything.”
About: For many years I couldn't have a dog of my own and would jump at any chance I could to spend time with and care for those of friends and family. I finally got my own dog, a Staffordshire bull terrier called Leon, whilst living in Australia - my best friend for many years and a truly special soul. I now have another young staffy, Mars, who is keeping me on my toes! We've worked really hard on his training and have both learnt a lot. I have a lot of experience caring for dogs - from walking and day-care to long-term stays in my and other's homes. However, I am currently only able to provide walking and check-ins. The initial testimonials are all genuine from friends, family and neighbours whose dogs I have previously cared for. I am currently studying from home and dog-walking provides the perfect, flexible option for me to fit work around studies. Around walking my own dog, I am usually available most days and times. As someone who has been very diligent with who has cared for my own dogs, I understand how hard it is to trust someone new with your best friend. With that in mind, I aim to understand as much as needed about animals I care for and communicate well with their owners.
“Bekki is amazing, she was very reliable and sent us brilliant updates everyday, would definitely use her again and fully recommend her to anyone. Thank you Bekki for making our holiday better because we knew Freddy was being well walked.”

I’m confident keeping pets happy, safe, and well cared for, and I’m also currently working towards becoming a dog groomer! so I’m really passionate about what I do 😊🐾 I work remotely from home, which gives me flexibility and availability for pet care from 11am onwards on weekdays. I’m mainly available during the week, but I can also be flexible with occasional weekend bookings when needed. When caring for pets in an owner’s home, I follow their usual routine to help them feel comfortable and relaxed. I provide attention, playtime and regular updates while always respecting the owner’s home and your pet’s individual needs.
About: I have over six years of hands-on experience as a dog owner, raising and training my two Labradors from puppies. My journey with dogs began even earlier, caring for my husband’s family Labrador from the age of 18, including managing his medication and providing gentle care in his later years. Over time, I’ve looked after many friends’ and family members’ dogs of all breeds, ages, and sizes. Whether it’s training, exercise, playtime, or administering medication, I provide reliable and compassionate care tailored to each dog’s needs. I have recently gone back into the world of education as a teaching assistant after a 1 year break (during this time I was a dog walker & pet sitter full time). My hours are 8:30-3:30 during the week, so I am available for morning & afternoon/evening pop-ins (with more availablity during half terms & summer holidays). I am available some weekends however I run a dog treat business that I take to pop-up markets so availability can sometimes be limited! Please get in contact & we can see if we can work out suitable timings for your pet’s needs! During the meet and greet I find out as much about your pet as possible so I can replicate the care as best I can. I want your pet to feel at ease & by offering a predictable routine, helps with this!

I can offer any walks that your dogs require, whether that be 20 minutes round the block for a sniffari or an hour over a forest. Whatever your dog needs, I will do it! I am currently trying to start up my own dog walking buisness and therefore not in any other form of employment. I am free 7 days a week for those who need me. For now it will be just walking your dogs that I will do, as our home is not set up for a day care type facility. I can offer any walk that your dog required and am happy to offer a pick up and drop off service.
About: Having a dogs and cats of my own has given me valuable, hands-on experience in understanding and meeting a dog’s individual needs. In addition, I regularly house-sit and care for my family members’ dogs, which has further strengthened my confidence in managing a range of temperaments, routines and care requirements. I had worked in the veterinary industry for numerous years, gaining practical experience in animal health, welfare and clinical environments. I also completed an animal-based degree covering animal behaviour and animal nursing, which provided me with a strong foundation in both the practical and theoretical aspects of animal care. I now work within animal-based education, where I continue to apply and develop my knowledge within the animal care sector. My weekday availability is primarily in the evenings. However, during school holidays, my availability increases and I am able to offer greater flexibility. I work full time but i am available most evenings. Please enquire further if you have any questions at all. I am more than happy to help. Within my own home I have a high fence. Within clients homes I expect it to be fully fenced. I also expect a waiver and small questionnaire to be answered so I am best equipped to deal with your animals.

About: I have been around dogs all my life and now are enjoying 2 of my own as my children are older and can help ;) I'm lucky that I have an awesome dog sitter to look after my 2 when I go away and I know I don't have to worry about them, so I would like to help others feel the same when they go away or need help during the day when your at work. I love taking my 2 out for walks and especially when I venture off to the countryside to explore! My 2 also join me at a yard as they come riding with me. So lots of outside time and exercise. My children enjoy playing ball and find-the-toy games with my 2 and giving them the odd treat. My 2 are rescue dogs, Reggie (little white terrier) is 8 and loves most dogs sometimes a little too much but loves a good game of chase. Jake (pointer/toller) is also 8 but is my nervous one of the 2 and likes to decide when he's ready to say hello and doesn't like too much attention so isn't great with pups as they don't always understand this. He'll meet some dogs and want to charge around and play but mostly enjoys sniffing around by himself. Your dog would certainly enjoy their time with my family as we love lots of fun walks. We go out for our morning walk sometimes before taking my daughter to school. Then again around lunchtime and tea time if the weather allows. Games at home as well to if your dog is an active dog or if like mine they have an afternoon snooze. I have a fenced garden and 2 of my own dogs. I can accommodate a crate if that is what your dog requires at my home.
About: I grew up with dogs, big and small. I am confident in my ability to keep your precious pet safe and happy. I have managed to successfully train my 2 1/2 Yr old rescue pup to do many tricks, she luvs to learn and enjoys her healthy treat rewards. Just minutes from our front door we we are very lucky to be surrounded by acres of beautiful green fields, you’d think you were in the heart of the country, lots of lovely walks for those energetic, enthusiastic pups. I don’t work, occasional I go grocery shopping or to the gym but most of the day I’m home. I was very lucky to retire early so have lots of time to spend with my four legged friends. We have a large enclosed outdoor space, 6ft fences, 2 gardens and a big enclosed drive way with 6ft wrought iron gates which are alway padlocked.

“Albert was very happy after his stay with Daisy. Daisy kept me updated with messages and pictures so that I could see how he was getting on. I will definitely be booking again”
“Albert was so excited when he arrived at Charlie’s house for his recent stay. He knew where he was going and ran straight to the door. He had a fantastic time playing with Charlie’s dog and enjoying cuddles with the family. I received regular photos and updates meaning I could relax knowing he was happy. I would highly recommend.”

“Thank you so much Lorna, we felt so comfortable leaving Clemmie with you. Lorna was great for Clem’s sit, we did a meet and greet walk beforehand and we instantly knew Clem would be in good hands. Clem needed to see the vet during her stay and Lorna took her for us and cared for her so attentively. We will 100% book again. Thanks for all the photos and Clemmie’s presents, we are very lucky we found you!”

We will definitely book Lucy in with Linda &Steve again when we are next in the area .Thank you so much for looking after her so well .”
“Yevgeniia took great care of Toby and was supportive with his needs and made him feel relaxed and settled whilst we were at work. With a lot of knowledge of dog behaviours, I would feel confident in Toby staying again and would recommend. Thank you for your support :)”
“Fabien and Victoria were absolutely fantastic looking our two dogs. Kept us up to date with pictures and reports throughout. Thank you for taking such good care of our puppies”
“Joy was absolutely wonderful with Muffin! She was so attentive, caring, and kept me updated throughout the stay. I could tell Muffin was super happy and relaxed. Highly recommend Joy!”
“We recently left our dog Banff with Roz while we were away on holiday, and we couldn’t be happier with the care he received. He seemed completely at ease, clearly enjoying his time — especially the cuddles! We really appreciated the regular photo updates, which gave us peace of mind and always brought a smile to our faces. Roz clearly has a genuine love for animals, and Banff looked so content in every picture. Wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again — highly recommended!”
“Denitsa and her husband are lovely people, they had our 3year old cocker spaniel for a couple of nights, she sent a lovely video of there excursion and photos showing Hughie enjoying himself and looking very happy. We would definitely use Deni again 😁”
“Nicola was really great. Great communication prior and kept me updated with photos of Wolfe having the most chilled out time both on the evening and next morning of boarding. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a dog sitter”
“Jelena was absolutely marvelous!! She has a natural affinity with dogs and Lola had a lovely stay. She had lots of exercise and was very well looked after. Every day we received pictures of our happy girl having a wonderful time. Thanks again Jelena and see you next time!”
“We would highly recommend Flora! She looked after our 5 month old puppy brilliantly for his first night away! She was very friendly, extremely trustworthy and kept us updated with lots of pictures throughout - we’ll definitely be booking again!”
“I was looking for a place where my spaniel would feel as if she was at a home from home I had to leave her for a night over the Christmas holiday period. Lizzie and her family fitted the brief perfectly; they were welcoming and relaxed and immediately made me feel that Molly would be fine with them. Lizzie sent me pictures of how she was settling in over the period and set my mind at ease. I wouldn't hesitate in using Lizzie again, or recommending her to anyone I know who has a dog and needs a trustworthy sitter.”
“It was Stephens 1st time having a rottweiler and although initially nervous he did a lot of research into the breed ready for the first overnight. Ronnie is not quite 2 years old and was unsure about what was happening, he didn't really settle as well as I would have hoped. He came back the next day and slept until the evening, he was absolutely shattered. I am not sure Stephen could have done anymore to settle him, it just wasn't a match. I think Ronnie would be better off being looked after in his own home or by people/family he knows well.”
“Kerry and her partner were nothing short of incredible! Rory had the best time with lots of snuggles and enrichment activities. With it being so warm Kerry made sure to keep all the doggies in her care safe at all times and walked Rory at times where it was safest for him! We got updated throughout the day so we could keep up with what they were doing and we were never felt uncertain of where he was or what he was up to. Kerry also accompanied Rory to our wedding and was a brilliant chaperone to him! Kept him hydrated and in the shade so he could perform his best for the photos! Kerry, you are amazing! Thank you so much for looking after our little boy 🥰”
“First time boarding for our two senior dogs, couldn't have been better. Chloe and her partner went above and beyond, absolutely no issues at all. Will definitely be using again. Thank you ladies.”
“Soo grateful, Hannah was lovely and sent lots off pictures off all the lovely walks and Olly relaxing in her home, which was very comforting knowing he was being looked after well. Will definitely be going back to Hannah when we next go away.”
“We had a fantastic experience with Kayleigh and would highly recommend her. Before we even booked, she took time out of her day to answer questions so we could see if we were a good fit. I was really anxious about leaving our pups but Kayleigh was just so kind & thoughtful. We could tell she really knew and understood dog behaviours and what they would need. During the stay, we got regular updates and tons of gorgeous photos, which showed the amount of care and attention that had gone into not just our pups visit, but to reassure us too. We will definitely be using Kayleigh again, from the photos we could see our pups were settled and chilled which is worth its weight in gold!”
