“I’d like to thank James and his family for looking after Pepper so well. For me finding someone who realised and understood how nervous I was leaving her with anyone was so important, she’s basically my emotional support dog(but aren’t they all). I needn’t have worried. She was welcomed into James’ family and was treated as one of their own. James sent updates daily which allowed me to relax into and enjoy my holiday safe in the knowledge that Pepper was being well looked after. Pepper is quite a needy dog, a “lock down pup”, so all the cuddles and attention was exactly what she wanted and she befriended James’ dog Bailey which was wonderful to see. I will definitely be asking James to look after Pepper again and can without hesitation recommend him.”
“Eve was a great sitter for our Lady. Especially under the extreme circumstances of the heatwave. We had some updates, and Eve amended the care plan to fit the extra heat situation too. Will be rebooking for next month. Thank you for taking good care of our girl. Much appreciated. 🙏🏼💖”
“My dog, Holly, had another lovely stay with Anna and I was very happy to leave her in Anna’s care. Anna kept me updated and Holly thoroughly enjoyed all the cuddles and care that Anna gave her. Thanks again Anna 🐾”
“Thank you so much for looking after Sasha. She looked so happy in all the photos and videos you shared, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. You're such a lovely person, and it's clear how much care and affection you gave her. We really appreciate everything you did and would be delighted to have you look after Sasha again. 😊”
“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!”
“Sadie's two night stay went very positively with this sitter 😊 We had a very good initial meet and greet and felt very comfortable leaving Sadie in their home. I appreciated a couple of updates during her stay and was happy to see her settling in well! Sadie is an older and quieter dog and this sitter provided for her needs very well. I would definitely recommend this sitter based on my experience.”
“We just want to say a big thank you for looking after our beloved Loki! Margarita made sure our Loki was cared and entertained well with constant updates of his daily routine! Margarita is an experienced dog sitter and we thoroughly recommend her services! She clearly loves looking after dogs! Thanks again”
About: About Our Home & Experience I have over a decade of experience caring for dogs of all personalities. I am dog lover who truly understand that pets are cherished family members. I know how stressful it can be to leave them behind when traveling, which is why I offer a warm, safe, and loving "home away from home." Meet Chamcham & Our Dog-Friendly Home I am a proud parent of Chamcham, my friendly, playful, and neutered 1.5-year-old Cockapoo (10 kg). I raised Chamcham from an 8-week-old puppy using positive reinforcement, lots of treats, and unconditional love. I also had a rescue dog named Caramel, who had a timid past. Through patience and care, I helped him overcome his anxieties before he peacefully passed away from old age. These experiences taught me that every dog is unique and deserves a tailored approach. Daily Routine & Comfort Spacious & Safe: I have a fully fenced, secure garden. When the weather is nice, the garden door is kept open for free play; otherwise, I listen closely to our dogs' cues when they need a potty break. Active Days: I am a teacher, and during the summer break, I have plenty of time to dedicate to my furry guests! We take walks at least twice a day (morning and evening), with extra outings or midday strolls whenever needed. Home Comforts: Dogs are welcome on all furniture in my home to lounge and relax! Peaceful Environment: I have no children at home, ensuring a calm and focused environment for your dog. Whether your dog needs an energetic playmate like Chamcham or just a relaxed, cozy spot to nap, I am excited to welcome them into our family! As a teacher currently on summer break, I have full-time availability to dedicate my complete attention, care, and love to your dog throughout the day. My daily routine includes taking my dog for at least two main walks every day—once in the morning and once in the evening—typically lasting between 30 to 70 minutes each. Since I am home during the break, I am extremely flexible and happy to add an extra midday walk or play session whenever needed to suit your dog's individual routine and energy levels! I am lucky to live near lovely green spaces and parks away from busy roads, making our walks safe, peaceful, and enjoyable. I have a secure, fully fenced garden where dogs can play safely and relax. My friendly Cockapoo, Chamcham, is always up for a game, ensuring our guest dog has a fun and wonderful stay with us!
“Jasper came back a very happy dog. Sam kindly sent regular updates and photos so we could see he was relaxed and comfortable with them. Lovely garden for a sniff and runaround”
About: I have loved dogs and animals all my life and have many years of hands-on experience caring for and training dogs. I grew up with a Border Collie and had my beautiful Golden Retriever for 14 years. I now have Hudson, my two-year-old chocolate Labrador, who I trained from a puppy. I understand that every dog has their own personality, needs and routine, and I take the time to make them feel safe, happy and settled. I am patient, caring and responsible, and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs, whether that’s walking, playing, cuddling or simply keeping them company. New to Rover, but certainly not new to dogs. 🐶 I work a mix of home and office-based hours, giving me good flexibility for pet care. My day starts with an early 5.30am walk, and I usually spend only a couple of hours in the office before working from home. I am home with Hudson for most of the day and we have another walk every evening, usually covering 4–5 miles a day. I can offer boarding and walks depending on your dog’s needs and my availability. I have a secure, fully fenced garden and a safe, comfortable home where dogs can relax and feel at ease. I have plenty of space and can use separate rooms if dogs need their own space or time to settle. Hudson is friendly and used to being around other dogs, but I understand that every dog is different and will always follow their individual routine and needs. I will provide plenty of supervision, exercise, affection and attention so your dog feels safe and cared for while they are with me.
“Jess is absolutely amazing. We felt so secure leaving our girl Poncho in her care. So communicative, took great care of our home, and poncho clearly missed her when she finished the sit. Jess did so much for Poncho who clearly loved her. And we were so happy with her care we've asked her to walk poncho once a week as poncho has an absolute blast with Jess. We really really want to keep Jess to ourselves so the temptation to give less than 5 stars was there, but frankly, 5 isn't enough for how good Jess is. 10/10, Jess will be out first port of call always now. Thank you Jess!”
“Our first time with Rover and couldn't have asked for a better stay for Rafa. He clearly had a great time and was treated like one of the family by Gloria and Chris and found a new best friend with their dog Marley. Great updates and photos during his stay. Couldn't recommend them highly enough.”
About: As a dog owner myself, and with lots of experience looking after family/friend's pets, I understand the importance of giving your pets plenty of attention, love, exercise & play 🦮🦴 I'm reliable, patient, and genuinely love spending time with animals ❤️ I'll make sure your furry friend has lots of play & cuddles 🐶☺️🐾 Caring for pets fits naturally into my daily routine as I already care for my own dog. I can provide regular walks & lots of attention throughout the day 🦮🦴 Your pet's safety & wellbeing are my top priorities. I understand that every pet has different needs & routines. I provide a calm, caring environment & will treat your pet as if they were my own, with plenty of affection & supervision 🐾
“Left our fur baby with Hannah while we went away on holiday. Communication was great, got a couple of photos. Will definitely use Hannah again as it seems like Lenny has the holiday blues too after getting back too.”
“Erin and Robbie were fantastic with Nara! They looked after her while we were visiting friends in the area and provided great care and walkies for Nara. Would definitely use again if they would have Nara again! 😁”
“Ella has been a great doggy sitter for our Dexter. She sent us pupdates all the time. It truly was a home from home for him. Thank you Ella for looking after Dexter so well.”

Prices are estimates per visit for 1 cat. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
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.
“This is the first time we used this service and we have been so happy and comfortable leaving our cats in Ella’s caring hands. Ella has been amazing, listened to all our quirky little requests about our cats and we had every confidence in her. We will definitely asking Ella again when we need her. Thank you so much Ella x”
“Tara was absolutely wonderful, she was responsive throughout and very helpful. She did a wonderful job of looking after Shadow and keeping us updated, we came home to a very happy cat and a very well looked after home! I could not recommend Tara enough :)”
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.
“Kriszta went above and beyond our expectations with her cat sitting! We got daily updates of the cats and she even was so kind as to bring our bins into our back garden for us after theyd been emptied. She even did an extra quick visit to give them an extra meal due to some recent illness both cats have sensitive stomachs and food really needs to be spaced out now. Came home to happy and relaxed cats. I could not recommend her more! Will be using again for future holidays.”
“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 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.
“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: 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 😀
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.
About: I’ve cared for cats of all ages and personalities for many years. Whether shy or playful, I always make sure they feel safe, loved, and well looked after. Friends and family have trusted me to feed, groom, play with, and comfort their cats—even those with special needs. I treat every cat like my own, with patience and genuine affection.
“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.”
About: I love love cats and understand their need for calm, safe, and clean environments. I’m happy to keep them company, play with them gently, and respect their boundaries. I make sure their space stays tidy, and I pay attention to their unique personalities.
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.

“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 😍”
“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!”
“Ella has always been very attentive, since the first contact. We received photos, she informed us about how Bayle was doing. In other words, excelente communication and very professional. We could see that she really loves what she does. I really recommended her services and as soon as I need again, for sure I will leave Bayle with Ella, she is extremely reliable.”

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.
“Very friendly Miah liked Wing keeping her company and can’t wait for next stay , Wing was on time and doing a couple of stays before our holiday for her to stay, so that we don’t worry while being away.”
“Thank you Hannah for looking after Joely for the day while I moved house . I didn’t have to worry about her during a hectic move knowing she was being well cared for . She came back very happy and has settled into her new home . Definitely can recommend Hannah .”

About: I’ve been a veterinary nurse for over 8 years, working with cats and dogs of all different breeds and sizes. I’m comfortable administering medication and caring for both seniors and puppies. Having taken a short break from clinical work to go travelling I miss my furry friends and would love the opportunity to get to know yours! I’m currently taking a break from working having returned from a few months of travelling so I’m available to walk and play with your pets at a time that suits you best. I have two lovely cats of my own, but this means unfortunately I cannot have your pets over for a sleepover. But I love visiting pets in their own space and keeping them company. Having a stranger in your home can be daunting so I’m always respectful of any rules you have in place!
“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: I’ve always had dogs and absolutely love animals. I currently have two French Bulldogs of my own, so I’m very used to the fun, character and care that comes with having dogs! I’m caring, reliable and naturally comfortable around animals. I’d love to help with dog walks, home visits and giving your pets some company and attention while you’re away. I’m available all day on Mondays and Wednesdays. The rest of the week, I’m available before 10am, and I’m also available all day on Sundays.

For home visits, I’m happy to use a key safe or another agreed method of access and will always make sure your home is secure when I leave. For dog walks, I’ll make sure your dog is safely secured before leaving the property and will follow your instructions around leads, routes and any specific needs. I’ll keep dogs under control throughout the walk and make sure they are safely returned home afterwards. Your pet’s safety and wellbeing will always be my priority, and I’ll keep you updated so you know they’re happy and well looked after.
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.
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 provide personalized care for small dogs, ensuring their comfort and happiness with gentle, attentive care.

About: I have lived with many dogs and cats throughout my life. I have trained and looked after neighbours dogs as well as cats. I have also volunteered for a couple years in a cattery helping looking after (indoor/outdoor) cats. I am currently working part time, however only work about 10 hours per week so I have plenty of time throughout the week to provide services and take care of your pet. I will familiarise myself to new locations/walks near your home and adapt to any preference that you may have during visits and walks. At first, I will keep dogs on lead as I still get to know them and they get to know me to keep them safe. Your pup would always be supervised, unless in a crate, pen or any other enclosed and secure environment. And I will take plenty of photos and update you on how your pet was.
“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.
About: I have been looking after families pets since I was young and have grown up with dogs of all sizes. I currently look after my sisters labradoodle puppy and my nans bocker (beagle cross cocker spaniel). I have also had and looked after ferrets before so have experience with other animals. I’m currently working part time, mainly evenings at the weekends so will have plenty of time to care for your beautiful pets! I am also quite flexible so please don’t be afraid to ask for anything you may need! I am afraid I am unable to do pet boarding but I love to make sure pets feel comfortable with me coming into their home. Ensuring they have interaction and play when they want it but also giving them space when they just want to chill is so important!

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!”

“I’d like to thank James and his family for looking after Pepper so well. For me finding someone who realised and understood how nervous I was leaving her with anyone was so important, she’s basically my emotional support dog(but aren’t they all). I needn’t have worried. She was welcomed into James’ family and was treated as one of their own. James sent updates daily which allowed me to relax into and enjoy my holiday safe in the knowledge that Pepper was being well looked after. Pepper is quite a needy dog, a “lock down pup”, so all the cuddles and attention was exactly what she wanted and she befriended James’ dog Bailey which was wonderful to see. I will definitely be asking James to look after Pepper again and can without hesitation recommend him.”
“Eve was a great sitter for our Lady. Especially under the extreme circumstances of the heatwave. We had some updates, and Eve amended the care plan to fit the extra heat situation too. Will be rebooking for next month. Thank you for taking good care of our girl. Much appreciated. 🙏🏼💖”
“Sadie's two night stay went very positively with this sitter 😊 We had a very good initial meet and greet and felt very comfortable leaving Sadie in their home. I appreciated a couple of updates during her stay and was happy to see her settling in well! Sadie is an older and quieter dog and this sitter provided for her needs very well. I would definitely recommend this sitter based on my experience.”
“Jasper came back a very happy dog. Sam kindly sent regular updates and photos so we could see he was relaxed and comfortable with them. Lovely garden for a sniff and runaround”
“Jess is absolutely amazing. We felt so secure leaving our girl Poncho in her care. So communicative, took great care of our home, and poncho clearly missed her when she finished the sit. Jess did so much for Poncho who clearly loved her. And we were so happy with her care we've asked her to walk poncho once a week as poncho has an absolute blast with Jess. We really really want to keep Jess to ourselves so the temptation to give less than 5 stars was there, but frankly, 5 isn't enough for how good Jess is. 10/10, Jess will be out first port of call always now. Thank you Jess!”

I can provide regular walks & lots of attention throughout the day 🦮🦴 Your pet's safety & wellbeing are my top priorities. I understand that every pet has different needs & routines. I provide a calm, caring environment & will treat your pet as if they were my own, with plenty of affection & supervision 🐾
“Left our fur baby with Hannah while we went away on holiday. Communication was great, got a couple of photos. Will definitely use Hannah again as it seems like Lenny has the holiday blues too after getting back too.”
“Ella has been a great doggy sitter for our Dexter. She sent us pupdates all the time. It truly was a home from home for him. Thank you Ella for looking after Dexter so well.”
About: I’ve always had dogs and absolutely love animals. I currently have two French Bulldogs of my own, so I’m very used to the fun, character and care that comes with having dogs! I’m caring, reliable and naturally comfortable around animals. I’d love to help with dog walks, home visits and giving your pets some company and attention while you’re away. I’m available all day on Mondays and Wednesdays. The rest of the week, I’m available before 10am, and I’m also available all day on Sundays. I always treat every home and pet with care, respect and kindness. When visiting your home, I’ll make sure your pet is comfortable, safe and well cared for, while respecting your home and following any instructions you leave for me. For home visits, I’m happy to use a key safe or another agreed method of access and will always make sure your home is secure when I leave. For dog walks, I’ll make sure your dog is safely secured before leaving the property and will follow your instructions around leads, routes and any specific needs. I’ll keep dogs under control throughout the walk and make sure they are safely returned home afterwards. Your pet’s safety and wellbeing will always be my priority, and I’ll keep you updated so you know they’re happy and well looked after.
“Eleanor could not have done more to ensure a fantastic stay for Lisa, even collecting and dropping off to help me out. Lisa had a fantastic time with Custard, Peter (and the cat) and came back full of health and bounce. I could not rate Eleanor and family more highly.”
“My one year old cocker spaniel had a fabulous 10 days with Mikayla and Alec! Mikayla arranged a meet and greet to check he would get on with their dog Susan and wanted to know his routine, likes, dislikes etc so she would know how to care for him. He was treated like one of the family and got on with Susan brilliantly. Mikayla kept me updated with frequent photos so I knew he was getting on well. I would have no hesitation in recommending Mikayla to anyone looking for a boarder who will care for your dog like their own 🐶”
“This was our first time leaving Marty overnight with a sitter. Communication with Eliot and Eli was first class and gave us the right vibe from the initial conversations. Eli made Marty feel right at home on our pre-meet which was really important to us. We were able to take all of Marty’s things over for his stay including his crate and bed and again this made us feel confident he was going to be well looked after. Eli sent pictures, videos and a couple of updates during his sleepover which was again important to us. He had the best time with Eli and has been such a good boy since we picked him up and is very happy. Would highly recommend Eli and Eliot for dog sitting and we hope to take Marty for further dog sitting in the near future.”
“Nicola and her family were just fantastic. Branston loved staying with them and the family loved having him. Nicola is a very caring person and loves dogs. Nicola also sends lots of doggy updates and pics and knowing our dog was being well looked after just meant we could enjoy our break without worrying.”
“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.”
“Kat was absolutely incredible with my 11-week-old puppy, Taz! Leaving such a young pup while away could have been nerve-wracking, but Kat provided daily updates, stuck strictly to his routine, and even kept up with his ongoing training. Knowing he was in such capable and caring hands gave me complete peace of mind so I could fully enjoy my holiday. I couldn't have asked for a better sitter and highly recommend Kat to anyone looking for top-tier care!”
“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”
“Esme was brilliant with our dog. She was very responsive to my initial enquiry. We received an update mid board showing a very contented Labrador which is always reassuring. If you are looking for someone to care for your pet then look no further than Esme.”
