“Poppy had the most wonderful time with Anna! Anna clearly loves dogs and Poppy took to her immediately when they met. Anna kept me updated with very cute pics and provided Poppy with all the love and attention she likes to have! I wouldn't hesitate to leave Poppy with Anna again - I know Poppy would adore it!”
“Absolutely recommend this lovely couple 100%! Their love for animals is totally genuine 💕 Bella clearly felt at home with Althea & Ben from the very first meet & greet. I had no concerns at all leaving Bella in their care. My only worry was that Bella wouldn’t want to come home when time came for collection 🤣. I have already booked Bella with them for later in the year as I’m very comfortable & happy leaving Bella in their capable hands. ❤️”
“Absolutely wonderful experience for my dog Hugo. Not only did Belinda keep me updated on how my dog was getting on for the duration of his stay, she also sent me pictures. Excellent service. Belinda has a great passion for animals and also made us feel so welcome on arrival and when I collected. I know I will love for her to care for my dog again when I’m on holiday or have to work away. Belinda Thank you ?”
“Eve was absolutely wonderful with Poppy and Poppy clearly adored their time together. Eve took the time to understand Poppy's needs and I am so grateful for that. Poppy would be delighted to spend more time with Eve and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her!”
“Shelley was the perfect the dog sitter for our Vizsla Bailey. She made us feel so comfortable by ensuring she got to know us before the sit by meeting for a few walks prior. Bailey had a wonderful time and made some lovely bonds with her family. During the sit Shelley shared photos everyday of Bailey which was lovely to see her having a great time. We would highly recommend Shelley and her family to sit for your pets!”
“Dex had a lovely stay with Georgia and her family. He seemed very well cared for. I found Georgia really easy to communicate with and plan Dexters stay with her. I would definitely use her services again”
“Peaches spent 9 wonderful days with Helen while we were on our holiday. This was her 3rd stay with Helen and they have formed a lovely bond. Helen took very good care of Peaches during the heatwave. She kept us updated with daily photos and stories about their time together, which was very assuring. Highly recommended!”
About: We’re lifelong dog lovers that can’t wait to give your pup as much love as possible. We currently have a cocker spaniel x dachshund of our own that we’ve raised from a puppy, so we understand the patience, consistency, and care it takes to support them through every stage of life. On top of that, my partner (Grace) grew up with dogs so she has been surrounded by wagging tails and wet noses for as long as she can remember. Over the years, we’ve learned a lot about dog behavior, body language, and the importance of positive reinforcement. This knowledge has been incredibly helpful not just with our own dog, but also when caring for other people’s pets, whether its giving energetic pups an outlet, or sticking to training routines we’re happy to help. We know how important it is to keep dogs on their own schedule and in line with the habits they’re used to, so we’re happy to follow any training, feeding, walking, or play requirements you have in place. For us, dogs are part of our family. Our goal is to give your pet a safe, loving, and fun experience every time they’re with us so you can have peace of mind knowing they’re in great hands. Grace works full time from home with the odd day in the office but Tom works from home when Grace is in the office so there is always someone at home. We have a small fenced garden to keep your puppy safe, and as we mentioned before we have a dog of our own so walks and playtime are already in our routine. Our pup loves to snuggle up in the evenings so we would love for yours to join us too.
“Ivy looked very happy after picking her up from Tara's! She was clearly very well looked after and really enjoyed her stay. Tara was also very communicative and professional. Ivy is very excited for her next visit :D”
“Honestly would rate Mikayla higher if I could! I booked very last minute due to kennel cancellation the day before I was flying abroad! Mikayla met me and my dog Luna for a quick meet and greet and all went so well with both Luna and her dog Susan. Luna is a Weimaraner and is naturally a nervous dog but she took to them very quickly. I received beautiful pictures and updates during her weekend stay and felt so relaxed knowing Luna was being looked after and loved while I was away. I will 100% use Mikayla in the future and would highly recommend her services.”
“I highly recommend Margarita to look after your doggies. She made us feel relaxed by sending multiple pictures, videos and updates. She clearly loves dogs and gave both of ours plenty of love and affection. We would absolutely use her services again.”
“Very happy to have found Jess! I could tell from the meet and greet that Wilbur would be well looked after and treated as one of the family. He had a great time with Jess, lots of time playing outdoors and plenty of snoozing and Jess sent lots of photos so I could see how he was getting on through the day. Would highly recommend Jess for your dog care.”
“Emma and her husband looked after my puppy for the night, they were both very understanding as unfortunately he became ill overnight after being at a dog show and eating something that didn’t agree with him. Very good communication and very understanding with a stressful situation.”
“Lauren provided lots of updates as to how Ralph was doing and customised the experience to meet the needs of our dog. Ralph had a great time, we would be more than happy to book with Lauren again”
“I feel so lucky to have found Ella. She treated Clover like family and included her in everything from walks to the family BBQ! Clover loved her dog and came home completely tuckered! Clover can’t wait to visit Ella again!”
“Was my first time leaving George with a sitter, and Leanne was amazing. Great communication, lots of photos and videos… thanks so much Leanne. I would highly recommend, and would for sure use Leanne again in the future!”
“Wei was absolutely fabulous, she looked after my cat Dinky for a week. Wei kept me updated with lots of photos and gave Dinky lots of attention so he was a very happy cat! Would recommend Wei 100%!”

About: I live in Basingstoke with my family and have been in the UK since 2003, having grown up in South Africa. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I can’t imagine a home without pets in it. I share my home with one awesome little Jack Russell who is truly the centre of my heart and my family’s world. Growing up with pets has taught me how important they are as family members, not “just animals,” and I understand the love, patience, and care they deserve. I’m fortunate to work from home, which means I’m always around for my children and our fur baby. This also allows me to offer reliable, attentive care for other people’s precious companions. I have the time, availability, and genuine passion to help give pets the care, comfort, and attention they need while their owners are away. I work flexible hours from home and do the daily school run, but outside of that I’m available for pop-in visits, walks, daycare (at my home or yours), and overnight boarding — both during the week and at weekends. Pets in my care are treated as part of the family and looked after in a calm, safe, and loving environment. I live in a family home with children who are kind, gentle, and used to being around animals, as well as our friendly 1-year-old Jack Russell, who is well socialised and loves having company. All interactions are always supervised to ensure everyone feels comfortable and safe. In my home, pets are never left alone for long periods and their routines are kept as close as possible to what they’re used to, including feeding times, walks, play, and rest. My home is clean, secure, and pet-safe, with plenty of space for relaxation and play. I carefully consider each booking to ensure it’s a good fit for a home environment and introduce pets slowly and thoughtfully. When caring for pets in an owner’s home, I’m respectful, reliable, and follow all instructions closely to maintain consistency and trust. I understand how important it is to feel confident leaving your pet with someone else, so I treat every animal as if they were my own and provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind.
“Therasa is a wonderful cat sitter, she keeps the place tidy and the cats are happy when i get home. She also is accomodating and helpful when i need something i can message her and she is happy to sort it out. She is my go to cat sitter for when im away.”
“Ella has looked after my cat on several occasions when I have gone away on work trips, her communication is 5 star and she always goes above and beyond with the service she provides, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Ella she’s great 🙂”
About: Hi my name is Anna :) I simply adore all animals and do believe a home is not a home without one. I cant think of anything better than to be curled up on a sofa with a doggy by my side. Having recently lost my Mini Schnauzer Mutley earlier on this year I now feel ready to put all my love and care into something as rewarding as this. In the last few years I have had 4 Mini Schnauzers one of which was a rescue from Battersea (Missy) She came to me a scared nervous dog who had never even seen grass or been on a lead and struggled being in the same room. She eventually after a little time blossomed into the sweetest poppet and lost her fears and lived the life she so truly deserved. I can honestly say it was the most rewarding thing I have ever done. I dearly love all animals and want you to know they would receive the best care ❤️ in my company. A truly pampered pooch ! X I am currently at home so able to give full commitment to your pet. I have a completely fenced off back garden in a fairly quiet area. I have a fenced off back garden in a reasonably quiet area. My home is their home and I would allow them everywhere in the house.
“Amazing ! Thank you Freya for taking such good care of our cats. You went above and beyond and sent lovely photos, which gave us peace of mind and reassurance while we were away. Amazing communication, super professional, couldn’t have asked for more. Really grateful for your care and attention.”
“We had a great experience with Krizsta looking after our little female cat. She was very attentive and punctual, ensuring our cat builds a bond with her beforehand, making sure she had everything she needed and even going an extra mile by asking us to let her know if the cat needed anything else. When we came back from our holiday, our cat seemed very happy and well looked after, so we would definitely book her again.”
“Jessica was amazing, my cats were very happy and well looked after. Jessica clearly loves animals and is amazing with cats, one of mine is a bit shyer than the other but they clearly felt comfortable and cuddly with her.”
“Alicia and her partner George were very kind to our cat Chloe. They looked after her very well, providing daily updates and photos, and we could see when we returned that Chloe had bonded with them, which was wonderful. We would definitely recommend Alicia and will book with her again.”
About: I have loved and cared for dogs my entire life. I grew up rescuing stray dogs and giving them a safe place, food and love. Over the years I have cared for many different breeds, from small playful dogs to large strong ones. I am calm, patient and attentive to every dog’s personality and needs. For me dogs are not just pets – they are family. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I enjoy spending time with animals and being active outdoors. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to dedicate proper time and attention to each pet I care for. I am available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings when needed. When I look after a pet, I make sure they receive enough exercise, attention, and companionship. I never rush walks and always adapt the time and activity to the dog’s needs and energy level. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my priority. I treat every dog as if it were my own. I always make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and properly supervised at all times. I pay close attention to their behavior, routines, and any instructions given by the owner so they feel secure and relaxed. Even though I live in an apartment, I make sure dogs receive plenty of outdoor time, exercise, and fresh air through regular walks and visits to nearby parks. I keep a calm and clean environment and always focus on building trust with both pets and their owners.
About: I’ve always loved animals, and alongside my experience with dogs, I also have a strong understanding of cats and their individual needs. I have a Bengal cat, so I’m very aware that cats aren’t all the same - some are playful and energetic, while others prefer calm, quiet environments. I take the time to understand each cat’s personality and routine, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for in their own space. I also have a background in animal care with a Level 3 Extended Diploma in Animal Management, so you can trust your pets are in knowledgeable and capable hands.
“Timea did such a great job taking care of our 2 cats! They looked very happy in the videos she sent us and she took time to play with them and brush them :) I would recommend her and would definitely like her to take care of my cats again in the future!”
About: I’ve always been cat obsessed since I was a toddler having always had a cat in the house. I’m not able to have a cat of my own at the moment but I’d love to rescue a furry companion one day when I move house. For now I work a flexible job and would love to help look after you pet!
About: I’ve grown up around animals my whole life and have extensive hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds. Coming from a family of vets, animal care has always been a huge part of my life, and I’ve also spent several years working in a veterinary practice, helping care for and nurse a wide range of animals. I have plenty of experience with dog walking, house sitting, and caring for pets both through Rover and independently. Having owned dogs my whole life, I’m confident with walking, training, administering routines, and making sure pets feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. I also have experience caring for cats and smaller pets, including my own cat and tortoise. I understand how important it is to leave your pets with someone trustworthy and attentive, and I always aim to provide reliable care, regular updates, and lots of affection so both pets and owners feel completely at ease. I currently work in a hybrid role, with standard hours of 8:00am to 4:00pm. I work from home for most of the week, with one fixed office day on Tuesday and a second office day that I can choose, giving me flexibility to plan my schedule around pet sitting bookings whenever possible. When working from home, I'm able to provide plenty of company, regular toilet breaks, walks, playtime, and attention throughout the day. Outside of my working hours, I'm fully available during evenings and weekends, allowing me to dedicate even more time to exercising, playing with, and caring for your pet. I'm organised, reliable, and committed to making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I'll also keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you can have complete peace of mind while you're away. Whether caring for pets in my own home or in a pet owner’s home, I always prioritise safety, routine, and making pets feel as comfortable as possible. I understand that every animal is different, so I take the time to learn their usual routine, exercise needs, feeding schedule, and any medical or behavioural requirements to help them feel settled and secure. Coming from a veterinary background and with experience working in a veterinary practice, I’m confident recognising signs of stress or illness and ensuring pets receive attentive, responsible care at all times. I’m also experienced with administering routines and following owner instructions carefully. When house sitting, I treat every home with respect and keep owners updated regularly with messages and photos for peace of mind. I aim to maintain a calm, loving environment where pets receive plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and companionship while their owners are away.
About: Hello!!! My husband Carl and I have x4 cats and a guinea pig. I’ve had cats ever since I was a child. My Mum has 5 who I also look after. Carl and I share the cat feedings depending on who is available that day as we work split shifts so you may see both of us 😀

“Leanne looked after our young pup for two days while I worked long shifts, and she was great. Our pup was excited to see her each day, and it was clear he felt comfortable in her home. She made sure he was well fed and taken care of, and he came home tired and happy—he slept soundly after what I can only imagine were very active, fun filled days. I really appreciate the care and attention she gave him. Highly recommend!”
About: James and Toni have both had family dogs throughout our lives. James has a 14 year old black lab at his parents who we look after and miss not being around every day! James is self employed so can fit his schedule around the dogs. Early start so is home in the afternoons. Toni works from home 2 days a week which is flexible. We have an open plan downstairs with lots of space, and a stair gate to keep the dogs downstairs. We have an enclosed garden with space to explore.
“Fabulous! Margarita looked after our 16 month old English Setterpoo, Elsie, for the whole day whilst we had a day out in London. She sent us regular messages, photos & videos throughout the day to reassure us that Elsie was fine - even enjoying an off-lead play in the park on what was a foul day weather wise! We returned to find a very calm and happy pup. I think the fact that Margarita and her husband are both so calm and confident around dogs definitely rubbed off on Elsie and quickly resolved any anxiety she might have had around being away from us. Will definitely book Margarita again. Thank you!”
“Ernie is really enjoying his days with Emma and Ruby, he can’t wait to get out of the car in the morning. It makes life easier knowing he is safe, happy and looked after so well. Thank you 😍”
About: Dogs have always been part of our life, starting with our family Pomeranian. I then inherited two Jack russels which gave birth to my little willow ☺️, and now here we are! We are countryside bums through and through .. horses, muddy boots, and a home that naturally revolves around animals. We joined Rover because we genuinely love caring for dogs (and because it stops me andopting another one… 😅). Every dog is treated like part of the household, so they feel right at home. We do things the right way here, and are fully licensed (26/00059/AWAAL), fully insured and a dog ruled home 🏡 I work from home every day, so dogs are never left alone. My routine is totally flexible and shaped around your dog 🌳. Our home has a large 160ft garden with brand new 6ft secure fencing, and we can collect and drop off in my (very loved) dedicated doggy car (the dogs seem to think she's fabulous) 😂🐾 Expect a happy dog, regular updates, and knowledgable hosts! Pet care fits into my daily life because it is my daily life 🐶 I work from home every day, so dogs are never left alone and are part of normal routines. Days are flexible and dog-led with garden time, walks, play, naps, and lots of company 🌳🐾 Basically, the dogs set the schedule and I just follow it 😅 Each stay is tailored to the individual dog staying with us ...Care is calm, consistent, and focused on making dogs feel safe, settled, and at home.

“Thank you for taking care of Luna! Great and prompt communication; Patrick was great with Luna, she had a lovely day and had a couple of walks too to release some of that puppy energy :)”

We are also near War Memorial Park which offers even more open space. Our home is safe for pets, and they will never be unsupervised. I have experience in Animal First Aid and I am Animal Care Level 3 Qualified. I am a dedicated communicator, you will always receive updates and pictures from me. If any issues arise, I will be prompt and sensible.

They made a great effort to get to know Uno before his one-week stay, which I really appreciated. I was very pleased to meet them, and I felt confident that Uno was in safe and caring hands. Thank you both for taking such wonderful care of him!”

“Chelsea is super proactive, always on time and takes lovely photos of my dog on his walks, we use her every week she’s a diamond! Highly recommended her services☺️”
About: I grew up with a big, silly Irish Red Setter who was truly part of the family. He set the bar for how fun, gentle and full of personality dogs can be and we still laugh about his antics today. In recent years I’ve looked after friends’ and family’s dogs while they’ve been away, making sure they’re fed, walked, played with and properly cared for. I absolutely love going on long walks, so having a four-legged pal to join me is always a joy. I’m a naturally caring person and I’ll make sure your dog feels safe, happy and like they’re having their own little holiday too.
“Another lovely day of doggy care from Ella. She seems to take such pride in writing her rover cards for when the walk is done which is so so lovely to have come through when at work. Ella is clearly a really dog lover and doesn’t seem to mind their quirks. Thank you so much!! Can’t wait to have you back in a couple of weeks 🥰”
About: Hello everyone, I've always had a great love for dogs since a child . I have a lot of experience and I am confident with all breeds and sizes . They really are a joy to be around . Please note when your dog is in my care they are treated like family. Lots of cuddles, kisses and good conversation hehe! They really do understand what are saying to them . Not to worry if your fur baby is on medication I am more than capable and comfortable with giving medicine, needles , if your dog has diabetes and checking their sugar levels to. I am here to make you feel at ease while you are away from them . A good long walk, play time and stimulating their brain with treats of course makes a very happy dog 🐕 I'm working from home so I'm available 24/7. Walking and playing can happen around the clock. They will not be left alone. They will be happy I live in a flat, there are so much parks at my finger tips to take them out for walk, run and play and fresh air.

About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals, especially dogs and cats, and over the years I’ve built a strong foundation of hands-on experience and knowledge in animal care. I hold a Level 3 Extended Diploma in Animal Management and I’m also a dog handler in the military reserves, which has given me a high level of discipline, responsibility, and confidence working with dogs of all temperaments. I have my own German Shepherd, so I naturally have a soft spot for larger, high-energy breeds and understand the level of exercise, structure, and stimulation they need. I’m very passionate about animal welfare and always provide a safe, enriching, and positive experience for every pet in my care. Alongside this, I have a strong understanding of dog behaviour and experience in training dogs to a high standard. I aim to reinforce good habits on every walk, from lead manners to calm social interactions - helping make life easier and more enjoyable for both dogs and their owners. As well as furry companions, I’m also experienced in exotic pet care. I have 8 reptiles of my own, so I’m very confident handling and caring for a variety of species, making me a great option for multi-pet households. I am a full-time dog walker/pet sitter so have all the time in the world for your fluffy friends! I do however attend one weekend a month for my military dog handler role but I'm sure I'll be able to fit you in around that! I offer in-home pet care through house sitting, so your pets can stay happy and relaxed in the comfort of their own space. I really value creating a calm, safe environment and I treat your home with the same care and respect as I would my own. I naturally like to keep things clean and organised, so helping out with household tasks is never a problem. I always like to go the extra mile, I always aim to go the extra mile, so you can return to a home that feels just as clean - if not cleaner than you left it, with your pets happy, settled, and well cared for.
“Jess is sensational! She always goes above and beyond to help with my boy and my mishaps (taking the key to work with me!) Oggy is obsessed with Jess and adores his time with her. Couldn't recommend Jess enough for any pet services. Thanks Jess :)”
“Lewis gives us complete peace of mind. He's reliable, trustworthy, and keeps us informed with detailed walks updates. Our dog is always happy to see him, which is the best endorsement we could ask for. We'll be booking Lewis again without doubt. Thank you, Lewis!”
About: Raising and training a black lab in London and Hampshire. I have lots of experience with my own , as well as looking after friend’s puppies and dogs. I am on a hybrid work schedule meaning some days I am in London and other days I work from home and am available during the day for pet care. I would just need appropriate notice to ensure it fits my work schedule. I am available evenings and weekends. Happy to work to your schedule and routine. I crate train my own dog and am working on training her to be a working gun dog , so a lot of work has gone into her training, but I am happy to follow the client’s lead with how they would like their dog to be cared for. My dog is incredibly friendly and loves socialising with all dogs , but can be separated if yours needs space .
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs and cats all my life and have cared for them for over 30 years. I’ve shared my home with German Shepherds, beagles and cats, and truly understand how much love and attention they need — especially when you’re away. I’m a certified Small Animal Hydrotherapist, currently studying L6 Veterinary Physiotherapy. I’ve also completed animal first aid, behaviour, and nutrition training. I’m DBS checked and committed to offering safe, loving care for your pets in their familiar environment. I’m currently working part-time and studying veterinary physiotherapy, which means I have a flexible schedule to provide dedicated care. I’m available most weekdays and weekends for pet sitting and visits in RG22 and nearby areas. I’m DBS-checked, fully and trained in pet first aid. I never wear branded clothing or drive marked vehicles, so I won’t draw attention to your empty home. Your pet’s wellbeing, routine and comfort are always my top priority — whether that’s keeping their litter tray sparkling clean or giving them enrichment and puzzle time.
About: I’ve have had pets around me my whole life. I have a huge love of all animals (not spiders!) I am kind, caring and have pet sat multiple times for friends as I love being with animals, I find them soothing to be around. I can walk, bathe and care for all animals. I work full time but only have to be in office once a week on a Wednesday. So I am fully available 6 days a week. I live in a small house with a small fenced garden in Walthamstow with my partner who loves dogs just as much as I do and has around 7 years experience handling dogs. I am happy to house sit with your pets or happy for them to come to me.
“Emma was fantastic! We had to change days around and Emma was very receptive and adaptable to our requests as well as providing excellent communication all round. Emma gave great feedback and photos from the walk and we will continue to use Emma!”

“Absolutely recommend this lovely couple 100%! Their love for animals is totally genuine 💕 Bella clearly felt at home with Althea & Ben from the very first meet & greet. I had no concerns at all leaving Bella in their care. My only worry was that Bella wouldn’t want to come home when time came for collection 🤣. I have already booked Bella with them for later in the year as I’m very comfortable & happy leaving Bella in their capable hands. ❤️”
“Eve was absolutely wonderful with Poppy and Poppy clearly adored their time together. Eve took the time to understand Poppy's needs and I am so grateful for that. Poppy would be delighted to spend more time with Eve and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her!”
“Dex had a lovely stay with Georgia and her family. He seemed very well cared for. I found Georgia really easy to communicate with and plan Dexters stay with her. I would definitely use her services again”
“Ivy looked very happy after picking her up from Tara's! She was clearly very well looked after and really enjoyed her stay. Tara was also very communicative and professional. Ivy is very excited for her next visit :D”
“Honestly would rate Mikayla higher if I could! I booked very last minute due to kennel cancellation the day before I was flying abroad! Mikayla met me and my dog Luna for a quick meet and greet and all went so well with both Luna and her dog Susan. Luna is a Weimaraner and is naturally a nervous dog but she took to them very quickly. I received beautiful pictures and updates during her weekend stay and felt so relaxed knowing Luna was being looked after and loved while I was away. I will 100% use Mikayla in the future and would highly recommend her services.”
“Very happy to have found Jess! I could tell from the meet and greet that Wilbur would be well looked after and treated as one of the family. He had a great time with Jess, lots of time playing outdoors and plenty of snoozing and Jess sent lots of photos so I could see how he was getting on through the day. Would highly recommend Jess for your dog care.”
“Lauren provided lots of updates as to how Ralph was doing and customised the experience to meet the needs of our dog. Ralph had a great time, we would be more than happy to book with Lauren again”
“I feel so lucky to have found Ella. She treated Clover like family and included her in everything from walks to the family BBQ! Clover loved her dog and came home completely tuckered! Clover can’t wait to visit Ella again!”
“Was my first time leaving George with a sitter, and Leanne was amazing. Great communication, lots of photos and videos… thanks so much Leanne. I would highly recommend, and would for sure use Leanne again in the future!”
About: James and Toni have both had family dogs throughout our lives. James has a 14 year old black lab at his parents who we look after and miss not being around every day! James is self employed so can fit his schedule around the dogs. Early start so is home in the afternoons. Toni works from home 2 days a week which is flexible. We have an open plan downstairs with lots of space, and a stair gate to keep the dogs downstairs. We have an enclosed garden with space to explore.
About: As a lifelong pet owner and animal lover, I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and many other pets throughout my life. I’m experienced with large breeds, can offer basic training support, and always take the time to understand each pet’s individual needs and personality. I treat every pet as if they were my own precious baby, providing plenty of love, attention, exercise, and companionship to help them feel right at home 🐾❤️ I have flexibility in my daily routine, I’m available mornings and evenings for walks, feeding, and care, and I plan my routine around the pets I look after. I live in a house with a secure, fully fenced garden where pets can safely enjoy time outdoors. I have a gentle, well-behaved dog who is calm and used to being around other animals. I always introduce pets carefully and make sure everyone feels comfortable and settled. Your pet will be treated like one of my own, with a safe, clean home environment and plenty of attention, care, and routine maintained throughout their stay. 🐾
“Our dog’s first stay with Sam and we had an amazing experience. Sam is kind and calm with lots of experience of dogs. She kept us well informed and our dog, Summer, was clearly very relaxed in her home. I have no worries about leaving Summer again in the future”
“Hannah looked after our dogs, Nala and Henry, and they seemed to have a great time with her. We really appreciated her flexibility and the way she worked with their routine. We’d be happy to have her look after them again.”
“Obi stayed with Nicola overnight on quite short notice, and Nicola couldn’t have been more flexible or accommodating to our requests and timings. She and her family treated Obi like one of their own and were incredibly considerate of his needs, making sure he was safe in the sun and comfortable in their home. We received plenty of updates and photos of how he was getting on and we wouldn’t hesitate to leave Obi in Nicola’s care again!”
“Amazing care provided by Karan for Ollie our black lab. This booking was short notice to enable attendance at a funeral. Karan sent regular photos and provided great care for Ollie. Would highly recommend.”
“Joshua was amazing with our Golden Retriever, Nova. He looked after her for a week while we were on holiday and kept us updated the whole time. Nova came back happy and well cared for. We’d definitely book with him again and highly recommend him!”
