“Dane and his partner clearly love dogs and are very experienced at looking after them. Communication was very good and Dane sent me photos of my dog every day, and she'd clearly had lots of walks and good times. Highly recommended.”
“Bryce and his family were absolutely wonderful with Dot, they took care of her like she was their own, even doing things like cleaning her eye crease when it looked a bit sore. Wouldn’t hesitate to book him again. She got 2 walks and lots of love which is all you can hope for!”
“Em and Paul were brilliant looking after Buddy! They provided regular updates/photos and made it really relaxing for us knowing that Buddy was content and well looked after. We wouldn’t hesitate to book them again or recommend them to friends and family looking for doggy care”

“Lovely home from home for Tiggy. She obviously had a great time with Bobbie and Gary. We loved Bobbie's updates, making us smile on numerous occasions! We would be very happy for Tiggy to stay again in the future, and would fully recommend Bobbie and Gary to anyone looking for a safe and secure 'home from home' boarding experience for their canine family members.”
“We couldn't have asked for better pet sitters than Kristy and her husband!!! They followed our directions for feedings (health issue related) cuddled and took our pups on lovely walks. We were showered with pictures and videos. We will be definitely be using them in the future 😁”
“We highly recommend Jessica !!! Our pup Mila stayed with Jessica and her lovely family for 4 nights. Jessica is extremely accommodating & flexible every step of the process. Jessica sends regular updates and photos. Mila was so well cared for and loved. I didn’t worry for one minute while she was in Jessicas care as she is so attentive and thinks of every detail. We will definitely be rebooking with Jessica again soon. 😊”
“Missie had a wonderful stay with Alice, Will and of course the gorgeous Winston!! Regular pupdates kept me from missing her too much. She had so much fun I don’t think she wanted to leave! Can’t wait to book again x”
“Daisy looked like she had a great time with JiaYuan and Nana. We received lots of pictures and videos and felt very reassured that Daisy was in great hands. Would definitely recommend.”

“Skye was very well looked after by Craig and loved running around with his two lively Dalmatians. I loved the photo updates. It's clear that Craig is a dog lover and treats the visiting dog like his own. I would definitely recommend him.”
About: My husband and I have grown up with dogs from a young age, having had family dogs. I frequently look after and walk many dogs for family and friends too. We are a family of 4, myself, my husband Rowan, our 4 year old son and of course our gorgeous Labrador Harley! We are very outdoorsy and love to be out in all weathers! We adore all dogs, and would be totally delighted to welcome your pup, we create a home from home experience providing endless love, adventure and care. Always more than happy to answer any questions you may have. Available most weekends Friday - Sunday for boarding, check ins and walks. I work locally and my husband works shifts. During boarding dogs are never left alone as we are home and love to take them everywhere we go too! I have a fenced garden and live in a quiet area. There are many lovely walks close by including parks, woods, nature reserves and fields.
“So grateful to have discovered June. Our senior dog was so happy and really well cared for and we didn't worry about him for a second while we were away. We've already booked him in for his next holiday 🥰”
“Sofia is a fantastic sitter! our dog stayed with Sofia for a week, Sofia has great communication and sent me regular updates and pictures about our dog, naps, walks and playtine. Highly recommended!”
About: Hi! I’ve grown up with dogs, horses and other animals my whole life and can’t imagine a home without them. I currently have one dog of my own who will come with me for overnight stays and will be at my house if I am looking after your pooch. I work from home most days, which means plenty of company and attention for your dog. I’m lucky to have countryside walks just minutes away, plus a secure garden for safe playtime. I’m experienced with all varieties - from lively puppies to gentle seniors, and I’m comfortable with administering medication and sticking to special diets! I have been pet sitting alongside my day to day job for 10 years now and can provide references. When your dog stays with me, they’ll be treated like part of the family. I can adjust my routine to fit theirs! You’ll get daily photo updates so you can see how much fun they’re having. The only thing I ask is that they are friendly with my pooch. I currently work full time, mainly from home other than 5 hours on a Tuesday. I can amend my routine to fit around dogs needs. I can do day boarding and overnight boarding but my own dog will be here with me. I have a fenced garden, many walks straight from my doorstep. I have a dog of my own here and my neighbours do have dogs on the other side of the fence, so just something to think about if you have a highly reactive doggo! Dogs are allowed on the furniture but if you prefer dogs to be crated whilst I’m out - usually only short burst to pop to the shop, I do have small crates from when mine was a pup. For larger dogs you would need to provide the crate.
“Kind, helpful, open, responsive. Charlotte and co. gave the best care to Bob. Everything was taken care of. They have a beautiful home with a secure backyard. I didn’t have a single worry. I would leave Bob in their care anytime without hesitation. Thank you!”

About: I’ve always loved cats and understand that every cat has their own personality and routine. I’ve cared for cats belonging to friends and family, including feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter trays, grooming where appropriate, playing with them, and giving them plenty of affection while respecting their boundaries. I know how important it is to keep cats comfortable in their own environment, so I’ll stick to their routine and make sure they feel safe and relaxed. I’ll also send regular photo and video updates so you can enjoy your time away knowing your cat is happy and well cared for. I work full-time with in Bicester typically Monday to Friday from 7:30am to 6:00pm, so I’m available before work, after 6:00pm on weekdays, weekends (every other saturday from 12pm) , and many bank holidays. I’ll always be upfront about my availability and only accept bookings that allow me to give your pet the time, care, and attention they deserve. If your pet has a set routine, I’ll do my best to maintain it and provide regular photo and video updates so you can have complete peace of mind while you’re away.
About: Having owned a rare Persian Cat for many years I am used to all aspects of grooming, eye and ear cleaning and litter tray cleaning etc. I cared for the 20+ Persian cats the breeder of my kitten owned. My husband having rescued a feral kitten we also have experience in cats of a nervous and anxious disposition. Using medications and room scents etc to keep them calm.
“Veja was just amazing 😊 Our booking was very last minute for a poorly cat just out of surgery and we were super nervous about leaving her. We didn't need to worry though... Veja was so happy to give Claudia her meds and look after her wound. Really fab communication in a bit of a chaotic situation and we can't thank her enough. Would absolutely recommend! Thanks Veja! ♥️”
About: PLEASE NOTE: I am only offering boarding and day care in the dog owners home, in effect, I would also be house sitting for the dog owner. PLEASE NOTE: Unfortunately I don't drive and can only take requests from dog owners who live near a bus route or train station. I have always had an affinity with dogs; or rather they have an affinity with me! Dogs I have never met before always bound up to me and want to play! I have a very calm and patient personality which I think dogs pick up on. This in turn calms them and makes them feel comfortable. I am also an artist and a lover of the outdoors, which means I am always aware of my surroundings, taking in information that could inform my art as well as the surroundings the dog is in - I take my time whilst walking dogs as it's important for them to explore the environment they are most comfortable in - the outdoors. I work part-time so I will be able to work round people's individual needs. I will block off on my calendar when I am unavailable I always follow sitters specific instructions regarding how well their dogs are around other people, other dogs and stick to specific areas permitted by the owner.
About: My mother started a non profit rescue organization, for abused & neglected dogs back in South Africa when I was just 11. Since then I have grown up working along side vets, assisting with any medical & care treatment needed for dogs. I have experience in bottle feeding, inoculations, first aid, new borns, seniors & even dogs with different disabilities. Growing up I lived with an average of 30 plus dogs at once, coming in & out as we nursed them back to health & found them forever families. I’m a massive animal lover & go out of my way to ensure your fur babies are constantly happy & safe! Have had my own reactive dog walking business for over 4 years now & love getting to work with all sorts of breeds I’m currently studying online & work mornings from 05:00- 8:30 am Monday- Saturday. I do not work weekends unless I’m house sitting. But other than that I’m available between my online lessons throughout the day from 9-5 Monday to Fridays. I treat your fur babies as if they my own. Obviously depending on different house rules, I usually tend to allow the dogs to sleep on the bed with me. My main priority at the end of the day is to make sure your fur babies are safe & comfortable.

“Nala absolutely loves going to Annabelle, and it’s clear she’s treated like one of the family. She always comes home happy, settled, and so well looked after. Annabelle’s communication was fantastic throughout, with regular updates and photos that gave us complete peace of mind. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Annabelle again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy pet sitter.”
“Charlotte stepped in last minute when I needed a dog sitter for the day and was brilliant! My pup had the best day with lots of play with the two doggies, lots of cuddles and walkies. I could not have asked for more. Thank you Charlotte”
About: My wife and I both grew up with dogs, we've had our own for over 3 years now. We've been sitting dogs via rover for over two years now. We like to take our dogs for a long morning walk, around 5km and a shorter afternoon walk to make sure they're well exercised. My partner and I work mostly remote, there is always one of us at home so we are very flexible with sitting and walking dogs. We have a dog of our own, we always like to have a short introduction first to ensure they get on (we haven't had any rejections yet!). We always walk the dogs at least twice a day: a long walk in the morning and a shorter walk in the afternoon. We have a fenced garden with lawn area for the dogs to sunbath and run around in.
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I genuinely enjoy. As an owner of two tiny Pomeranians, I understand that pets are family and deserve patience, love, and individual attention. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, I provide personalised care to help every pet feel safe, relaxed, and happy. My goal is to give owners complete peace of mind, knowing their beloved companions are in caring and trustworthy hands. My schedule is very flexible, giving me the opportunity to provide attentive, one-on-one care throughout the day. I can easily adapt to your pet’s routine, ensuring they receive regular walks, playtime, affection, and companionship while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my highest priorities. I provide a calm, loving, and secure home with a fully fenced garden where dogs can safely enjoy fresh air and play under supervision. I live with two adorable, small Pomeranians who are incredibly friendly and love the company of other dogs, helping to create a warm and relaxed environment for every guest. I understand that every pet is unique, so I always take the time to follow their usual routine and make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved, giving you complete peace of mind while you’re away.
About: I’ve had dogs around my whole life. We recently lost our sweet pup after 14 amazing years together, so the house has just been way too quiet lately! Having raised dogs from crazy puppies all the way to gentle seniors, I totally get that they aren't just pets—they're proper family. I'm completely used to all the little details that keep a dog happy, whether that's sticking to strict meal times, managing meds, or just making sure they get plenty of affection and feel right at home. I work from home and own my own business. Having a dog around again will be a great pleasure as I miss the companionship. I have plenty flexibility and their routine would become my routine. They would become my co-worker. I keep things super comfortable and flexible for guest dogs. My home has laminate flooring throughout, plus a nice rug in my office where I work. They’ll also have access to a large, high-fenced garden with plenty of grass to stretch their legs. On warm days, I leave the garden doors open so they can potter in and out as they like. Your pup can hang out with me in the office all day or find their own favourite cozy spot!
“Crash loved his stay. He was entertained throughout the day. Crash loves playing fletch with the ball. The dog sitter was quick to response to my request and we did a meet and greet session before booking Crash in. I would use their dog services again. Highly recommend.”
“Maria is such a great carer. She is perfect on communication, looked after my boy very well, updated me during the day sending lots of pics and videos. My boy looked absolutely super happy. I am so glad that we have come across Maria and we will definitely book for her service again. Thank you”
“Isabella took really good care of my rescue Golden Retriever. He was a bit shy the first day but went in full happy energetic mode the next day. He even stops in front of her door now on our walks so it is clear that he enjoyed his stay very much. Isabella was quick in responding, kept me updated during the day and followed all my instructions to make care Bailey had a great time.”
“Paulina took brilliant care of our Golden! She was really flexible and helpful ahead of time, and sent updates and pictures during the stay. He had a great time. We would absolutely use her again!”
“Kieran exceeded all expectations, he adjusted his schedule to fit with ours and was then superb with Bruno. I look forward to booking him again on our next visit - and thoroughly recommend him :)”
“Bobbie was an absolute dream of a pet sitter! From the start, she was warm, professional, and clearly passionate about animals. She took amazing care of Dexter giving him all the love, attention, and cuddles he could ask for. I got regular updates and photos, and it was obvious he was happy, relaxed, and in great hands. It’s such a relief to find someone so trustworthy and kind. Bobbie truly went above and beyond, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again. Thank you so much!!”
About: Having had three dogs of my own (Eddie, Hattie & Beanie) from puppies to pensioners… I’ve had great experience with young dogs and caring for them in their old age. I currently walk several other dogs in the Banbury area and would love to meet yours! I’m a freelancer with spare time on my hands, often in during the day and lunch hours - happy to drive to the woods or fields for big walks, or a quick sniff around town. I’m conveniently located near the Banbury Cross for overnight stays or daycare. I currently have access to a large indoor playroom if it’s particularly bad weather.
“Highly recommend James and his partner, my normally anxious Vizsla clearly had a great time. I got pictures throughout the day and my instructions were followed regarding feeding and medication. They even washed her winter coat and food bowl which was a nice touch. They are very clearly dog people and i would recommend them to anybody.”
About: I have a 6 year old golden retriever and previously had 2 cavalier King Charles, as well as numerous family dogs. I have had all my dogs from puppies so have experience with younger dogs also. I am comfortable with most breeds For doggy day car I currently work from home mon-Thurs. My children are in childcare during this time but may be present first thing in the morning and in the early evening before your dog is picked up.

I can offer love and attention throughout the day as well as a short lunch time walk to the fields behind our house.
“Alice was wonderful while taking care of my puppy, Dexter. Even though the stay ended up being shorter than planned because the dogs didn’t quite get along, she handled everything with kindness, empathy, and great communication. I really appreciated how thoughtful and caring she was, and it’s clear she truly cares about the dogs she looks after. Thank you so much, Alice!”
“Yuna had a brilliant time with Sofia, from the moment we arrived, it was clear that we were leaving Yuna in great hands. Yuna felt immediately comfortable at Sofias home and settled right away. Sofia provided us with photo updates throughout the day showing us how happy and relaxed our pup was. We will definitely book with Sofia again!”

About: I have a remote job for a tech company which means that your dog will never be left alone and can go outside or play with me whenever they like. I can easily adapt when I walk them based on their usual routines from early mornings till late evening, as well as multiple times a day. I want to dog sit mainly because I work remotely, my partner Alex works full time in Rugby so most of the day I am alone so I would adore some dog company! I would one day love to have a dog of my own, but as I have recently finished my Masters degree, started my career and bought a house that is still a few years away. My family dog Amber lives with my parents so I miss her terribly! Every dog I would look after would get the same love and care I would give her. I also spend a lot of time with my boyfriend’s family’s three Jack Russels, and having grown up in a village full of dogs who we often looked after growing up, I am very comfortable with different breeds, temperaments and energy levels including the really high energy ones. My home is in a quiet village with a fully dog proofed garden (chicken wire has been nailed to the open fence) that overlooks the fields. There is a dog park opposite where the dog can also be let of the lead for a good run around, as well as lots of good walks nearby. Even though I am new to this app I am setting my years of experience to when my family first got Amber which was 10 years ago as I have been looking after her so much in that time, as well as looking after different dogs in the village for either the day or for a week at a time. As I work remotely I can take my breaks and lunch whenever is needed for your dog. I am up early morning a few hours before work if they need a good walk in there as well. I have a fenced garden and can keep watch of them at all times to make sure they are safe and happy. I can adapt their living based on what they have at home: I can put a baby gate up if they are usually not allowed upstairs, or allow them or not onto furniture depending on your preferences as well. I also have a dog seatbelt for the car if they prefer to go to a certain park or need to be driven anywhere for any reason.
About: I have worked with dogs in various settings, having cared for rescue dogs on a Greek island, been a dog 'nanny' to 24 Bichon-Frise in Northern Spain and trained sled dogs in the far north of Sweden. I have a National Diploma in Animal Management and completed the first 2 years of my Zoology degree. I have worked with a lot of different animals in zoos, farms, reptile shops, even wild Meerkats in the South African desert! There isn't much I haven't come across and so I am well prepared to look after your fur-baby. Dogs are my passion and our 3 year old PatterJack Hartley is the most loved (spoiled) pup! He is very friendly, full of energy and loves to play so will be very excited to have a friend to stay 🥰 I work part-time from home Monday to Friday in an admin/accounts based role, which is very flexible and allows me time to focus on your pet when it suits them, I can work around nap times and am here for playtime & walks when they wake up! I spend most weekends taking Hartley to his favourite places; forests, beaches, rivers - he is a proper water baby and will swim for miles! We are very lucky to have a have a long rural lane with fields either side that goes for miles, literally on our doorstep so there is plenty of exploring to be done and lots of sniffs. We have a fully enclosed back garden (Hartley is an escape artist so if he can't get out then no one can), the whole of our 4 bedroom house is very dog friendly and your pup is free to roam anywhere.

“Our puppy Charlie loved his walk with Maria. Maria is highly communicative and attentive - sent us lots of pics and videos and he seemed so happy and relaxed with Maria! We will be booking again should we need a walker - thank you so much!❤️”

Following instructions for a treat gives dog mental exercise, whilst also enhancing good behaviours and staying alert to commands. Various play and exercise gives dogs fulfillment throughout the day, and helps calm energetic dogs.
About: I have been walking and looking after pets for the last 4 years or so. I really enjoying walking dogs, spending time with them and learning about their different personalities. I’m well equipped for dogs with behavioural issues. I have 2 dogs and a cat aswell as Guinea pigs and hamsters previously. I have it listed on here that I don’t own any dogs, this is because they are not currently living at the home in London and are at my mum house in Oxfordshire. I can look after senior dogs and can administer medication. My schedule can be quite flexible however I am dipping in and out of shifts and different places. I am however mostly available. I am taking a year out before going to Bristol next September I live near big fields and also have sufficient land so will take the pet on multiple walks a day. I have 2 dogs at home, a 4 year old female cocker spaniel and a 1 year old female jack Russell puppy. They are both good with dogs and other animals.

“I cannot recommend Emily highly enough! From the moment she met Gatsby, it was clear she has a genuine gift for working with dogs. Her expertise as both a walker and trainer has been transformative for us. Emily's professionalism is matched only by her warmth and dedication. She treats Gatsby like her own, and you can see the bond they've developed. Every walk is an adventure, and Gatsby comes home happy, exercised, and content. What truly sets Emily apart is her communication. She provides regular updates, shares photos, and genuinely cares about Gatsby's wellbeing and progress. I have complete peace of mind knowing he's in her capable hands. If you're looking for someone who will love your dog as much as you do while providing exceptional care and training, Emily is the one. Gatsby and I are so grateful to have found her!”
About: Hello! I’m Kerrie, a friendly, reliable, and kind-hearted animal lover offering drop-in visits for dogs, cats, hamsters, and other small pets. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I share my home with two much-loved cats and a tortoise, so I know that every pet has their own unique personality, routine, and needs. Whether you’re at work, away for the weekend, or on holiday, I’m happy to provide caring visits that include: * Feeding and fresh water * Toilet breaks and litter tray cleaning * Playtime, fuss, and companionship * Walking in the garden (where appropriate) * Administering basic medication if required * Regular photo and message updates for your peace of mind I pride myself on being dependable, trustworthy, and treating every pet as if they were my own. I take the time to get to know each animal, helping them feel comfortable and cared for in their familiar surroundings. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely loves animals and will give your pets plenty of attention, kindness, and care while you’re away, I’d love to help. I look forward to meeting you and your furry (or shelled!) family members! I currently work part time at my children’s school so am free for additional pet sitting during the holidays but also am also often free during term time too. I offer caring drop-in visits for dogs, cats, hamsters, rabbits, guinea pigs, and other small animals, giving them love, attention, and companionship while you’re away. My aim is to keep your pets happy, comfortable, and relaxed by maintaining their usual routine in the familiar surroundings of their own home.
About: I have taken care of dogs, mainly labradors, for many years. Largely this has been for friends and family, but I now have my own black lab. I have a a lovely big garden where the dogs can play and there are lovely rural walks just outside my front door. I’m available for dog sitting and dog boarding over weekends. Mid-week I work from home a few days and can be available for dog walking mornings and evenings, but this would be around my working day. I have a large garden and my own black lab (puppy - 1 year), to provide a fun playful experience. I believe in letting dogs play and have fun without getting too “wound up”. I also believe in encouraging dogs to be calm and have “down time”. I do lots of “sniffing” and “searching” style games with my dog to mentally enrich him.
About: I’m an expert carer of dogs, and always first choice for many people to call if they are planning to be away from home I’m retired, and only work adhoc. I’m free 24/7 for my creature companions (Already booked 04th October for two weeks) .. please call me for any questions I would prefer to look after clients pets in the pets home, as my doggie at home has personality disorders.. that said, arrangements can be made?
“Responded quickly to my initial enquiry. Met beforehand to introduce ourselves and to take the our dog for a trial walk. The two actual walks went really well. Jessie had a lovely time. Craig and Judith are lovely, reliable and trustworthy. Would definitely use them again.”
“Tabitha was excellent at communicating and had a successful walk with Marco - everything was returned as I'd left it at home and received some lovely photos of their walk too.”
About: I have specialised in animal care for the best part of 3 years, working in veterinary clinics and setting up my own dog walking business in Cheltenham. We have recently relocated to Brackley. Since having a baby, I always wanted something that would enable me to be out walking every day and keeping fit. Being with dogs all day was defiantly the answer and that’s why we love Rover and the opportunity it gives us to be with all different types of doggies. I now run my own business and currently in the process of opening up our very own veterinary practice. This career switch has enabled me to be at home every day and it means I have 100% control over my day and time. As both me and my partner work from home it means there will never be a time that your little one is left by themselves, meaning we can help with dogs who have separation anxiety or just don’t like being by themselves too much. I am able to administer medication and completely cater to your doggies schedule so please let me know of any detail big or small that would enable me to make your dogs stay as special as possible with us. We have a big back garden and the door is left open pretty much all day so they can run and sunbathe on the grass all they like! I also have 2 mini sausage dogs myself who are still young so love to play but mainly enjoy a lot of sleeping and cuddles. Therefore any dog I do take on a doggy holiday needs to be friendly and well socialised with other dogs. Please be assured that we would do anything to make your dog feel as special and welcome as possible. I know we’re not able to replace you or the bond you share with your furry friend but we’re able to create a secure and loving home whilst you are away. P.S we love to keep you very regularly updated with photos and videos of their day and how they’re doing so let us know how frequent you would like updates, wether it be every few hours or every day- we understand you might need a breather aswell! Thank you for considering us to look after your little ones and we hope to meet you soon! I am available any time and also for last minute bookings, please give me a message with what you require and I will try my best to help out. We have got multiple areas for your doggy to relax on, whether it be their own quiet corner or on the sofa with us. They're welcome anywhere!
About: I have had dogs as family pets all my life. I have learnt and read a lot about dog training and dog care. I have experience with little dogs and medium to large dogs. I work from home all week and have a flexible schedule meaning that I can be about all day to look after you lovely dogs. Good long walk every day (breed depending), taken out regularly into the garden, for play & loo breaks. They will be watched closely in the garden.
“I would Deffaintly have Lisa again. Barney lives with my parents and I have just spoken to them. They said what a lovely lady Lisa is and even Barney said he loved his walk with Lisa! He loves Hob hill I always take him up there and straight across the fields, it’s a lovely walk. Thank you for posting photo was lovely to see him so happy on the walk. I would definitely recommend Lisa.”
About: My mother started a non profit rescue organization, for abused & neglected dogs back in South Africa when I was just 11. Since then I have grown up working along side vets, assisting with any medical & care treatment needed for dogs. I have experience in bottle feeding, inoculations, first aid, new borns, seniors & even dogs with different disabilities. Growing up I lived with an average of 30 plus dogs at once, coming in & out as we nursed them back to health & found them forever families. I’m a massive animal lover & go out of my way to ensure your fur babies are constantly happy & safe! Have had my own reactive dog walking business for over 4 years now & love getting to work with all sorts of breeds I’m currently studying online & work mornings from 05:00- 8:30 am Monday- Saturday. I do not work weekends unless I’m house sitting. But other than that I’m available between my online lessons throughout the day from 9-5 Monday to Fridays. I treat your fur babies as if they my own. Obviously depending on different house rules, I usually tend to allow the dogs to sleep on the bed with me. My main priority at the end of the day is to make sure your fur babies are safe & comfortable.

“Dane and his partner clearly love dogs and are very experienced at looking after them. Communication was very good and Dane sent me photos of my dog every day, and she'd clearly had lots of walks and good times. Highly recommended.”
“Bryce and his family were absolutely wonderful with Dot, they took care of her like she was their own, even doing things like cleaning her eye crease when it looked a bit sore. Wouldn’t hesitate to book him again. She got 2 walks and lots of love which is all you can hope for!”
“Em and Paul were brilliant looking after Buddy! They provided regular updates/photos and made it really relaxing for us knowing that Buddy was content and well looked after. We wouldn’t hesitate to book them again or recommend them to friends and family looking for doggy care”
“Our dog, Kevin, recently enjoyed another visit with Angela! He was so happy to see her and her family and spent a fun day, going on walks and soaking up cuddles and lots of love and attention. 🐶 ❤️ As usual, Angela went above and beyond in caring for Kevin. And he can’t for his next visit!! 😍”
“Lovely home from home for Tiggy. She obviously had a great time with Bobbie and Gary. We loved Bobbie's updates, making us smile on numerous occasions! We would be very happy for Tiggy to stay again in the future, and would fully recommend Bobbie and Gary to anyone looking for a safe and secure 'home from home' boarding experience for their canine family members.”
“We couldn't have asked for better pet sitters than Kristy and her husband!!! They followed our directions for feedings (health issue related) cuddled and took our pups on lovely walks. We were showered with pictures and videos. We will be definitely be using them in the future 😁”
“We highly recommend Jessica !!! Our pup Mila stayed with Jessica and her lovely family for 4 nights. Jessica is extremely accommodating & flexible every step of the process. Jessica sends regular updates and photos. Mila was so well cared for and loved. I didn’t worry for one minute while she was in Jessicas care as she is so attentive and thinks of every detail. We will definitely be rebooking with Jessica again soon. 😊”
“Daisy looked like she had a great time with JiaYuan and Nana. We received lots of pictures and videos and felt very reassured that Daisy was in great hands. Would definitely recommend.”
“Fantastic stay! Joe has been fantastic from first contact. Really easy contact amd arrangements. Joe has been so accommodating and my dog, Pinkman, clearly loves staying there! Joe sent lovely photos and videos of our dog very happy in his stay, playing and snoozing like a home from home.”
“Skye was very well looked after by Craig and loved running around with his two lively Dalmatians. I loved the photo updates. It's clear that Craig is a dog lover and treats the visiting dog like his own. I would definitely recommend him.”
About: My husband and I have grown up with dogs from a young age, having had family dogs. I frequently look after and walk many dogs for family and friends too. We are a family of 4, myself, my husband Rowan, our 4 year old son and of course our gorgeous Labrador Harley! We are very outdoorsy and love to be out in all weathers! We adore all dogs, and would be totally delighted to welcome your pup, we create a home from home experience providing endless love, adventure and care. Always more than happy to answer any questions you may have. Available most weekends Friday - Sunday for boarding, check ins and walks. I work locally and my husband works shifts. During boarding dogs are never left alone as we are home and love to take them everywhere we go too! I have a fenced garden and live in a quiet area. There are many lovely walks close by including parks, woods, nature reserves and fields.
“Kind, helpful, open, responsive. Charlotte and co. gave the best care to Bob. Everything was taken care of. They have a beautiful home with a secure backyard. I didn’t have a single worry. I would leave Bob in their care anytime without hesitation. Thank you!”
About: I have taken care of dogs, mainly labradors, for many years. Largely this has been for friends and family, but I now have my own black lab. I have a a lovely big garden where the dogs can play and there are lovely rural walks just outside my front door. I’m available for dog sitting and dog boarding over weekends. Mid-week I work from home a few days and can be available for dog walking mornings and evenings, but this would be around my working day. I have a large garden and my own black lab (puppy - 1 year), to provide a fun playful experience. I believe in letting dogs play and have fun without getting too “wound up”. I also believe in encouraging dogs to be calm and have “down time”. I do lots of “sniffing” and “searching” style games with my dog to mentally enrich him.
“We met Emma and her dog Harry before our stay and went for a walk and then we arranged a morning stay before our overnight visit. Holly settled well and fitted in with Harry and seemed very happy. Emma kept us in contact do that we could see her progress which was brilliant . I would use Emma again .”
“Betsy was in good hands with Silma and her family. They were patient and understanding and Betsy seemed happy and at ease! Communication was great. I wouldn't hesitate to leave her with Silma again.”
“I would whole heartedly recommend Amanda (& her supportive family), to all dog owners who cherish their pet & would like a home-from-home holiday experience for their dog. Great to know your pet is exercising & spending their time with Bailey, Amanda's own spaniel. Great receiving photos during the stay as well. Hollie will certainly be back, next time we go away, if Amanda has availability. First rate dog sitter.”
