“Danielle and James were both brilliant with our 6 month Labrador Oti. We had photo updates during her stay and could see she was well looked after. Lovely walks and playing in the garden with the family. Oti looked very comfortable there. Thank you so much!”
“Jools was a great sitter. They are a lovely couple and you could tell Rocky was comfortable from the very start. We had regular updates and will definitely use him again for our dog sitting needs.”
“Olesia took care of my large puppy for a few days whilst I was out of the country and she took great care of my puppy. She gave me updates on what they were up to, sending a video and pictures so that I could relax whilst I was away knowing she was in great hands. Olesia is very caring and has a great connection with the dogs in her care and I would highly recommend her!”
“Always takes fabulously great care of scout and he has the best time! As soon as he spots where we are when we get out the car he can’t wait to see Gill! Always very reassured knowing Scoot is in such good hands🐾”
“Charlotte was wonderful with Blossom. Communication was great and I received updates throughout her stay. I really felt like she was in great hands and wouldnt hesitate to book Charlotte again.”
“After a family emergency I messaged Michael and Lauren at the last minute hoping that they could dog sit for us for a couple of days. We was a bit anxious about leaving Dexter who was only 14 weeks old and we hadn’t left him before. But right away when I first meet them I was reassured but due to my wife not been able to attend dropping Dexter off she was still very nervous which I explained to Micheal and Lauren Within hours of me dropping Dexter off they were keeping my wife updated with how everything was going and how Dexter was settling in with lots of pictures of him going for walks playing with their lovely puppy nova my wife was completely put at ease They continued to do that throughout Dexter whole stay with them myself and my wife would highly recommend Micheal and Lauren to care for your fur babies they are Amazingly loving and caring and treat them like their own. We have already decided they will be Dexter’s foster parents and will he will be staying with them when we are going away on holidays or occasions 10/10”
“Our dachshund Audrey went to stay with Monika for 3 nights. We were worried as she’s never stayed with people she didn’t know before. But to say she had a good time is an understatement! Monika and her husband kept me updated with photographs and we didn’t have to worry at all. Audrey can’t wait to go back already! 100% recommend!”
“Paul was great with Freddie and we are already booking more dates with him. He kept us updated with Freddie’s stay with pics and messages and always communicated well. Paul met Freddie in advance and we were more than happy for him to look after our Border Terrier.”
“I would 100% recommend Abigail. She kept us updated with news about their day and sent lots of photos. We were reassured they were happy and well looked after and we could relax with no worries about their care. When I collected them I could see how at home they made themselves. Thank you, we hope you’re available when we next go away x”
“Alyson and her family are really friendly and our dog was very well looked after in her care. We were sent lovely pictures and it really was stress-free. Thank you Alyson and family :)”

“Freddy loved his stay with Hannah and her lovely little girl doggie Angel. He immediately took to Hannah when she came to pick him up and was visibly excited he was going to with her and Angel (and from the photos Hannah sent Angel was clearly very nice and sweet to him!).”
“Candace was fantastic at caring for my dog with sight and hearing impairments. I was able to go away and feel at ease that she was being cared for and loved. Candace has a natural way with animals and was great at communicating and sending pictures of their day. I wouldnt hesitate to use her again!”
“Alice was super flexible and even added in an extra morning sit with our boy so we could go out and do social things as well as just work! Her easy demeanor and clear love for Dillon made it so we could have a lovely time without worrying at all!”
“Another awesome day where Freddie was treated like a king. Walks on the beach. Fun with toys in Bethanys’ garden. Such a relief to know he’s having as much fun as we have x”
About: Hi, I'm Freya! Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and my own two dogs are very much part of the family. Any dog staying with me will need to be comfortable around other dogs and will be introduced carefully to ensure everyone gets along well. As I have an entire male dog at home, I cannot accept female dogs that are in season or may be coming into season. Please let me know if this could be a possibility before booking. I am an experienced, sensible and caring dog owner who understands that every dog is different. I also have ferrets and a tortoise that live in secure areas of the garden, so it's important that I know if your dog has a high prey drive. This is something I can manage safely with the right information. I'm happy to discuss your dog's individual needs and routine to ensure they feel comfortable and settled while in my care. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, off-lead adventures (where appropriate), playtime, cuddles on the sofa, or simply sticking to their usual routine, I'm happy to accommodate. Feel free to send me a message if you'd like to chat about your dog's needs. I'd love to hear from you and see if I'm the right fit for you! I work from home on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays, making these ideal days for boarding and daycare. Dogs can also stay on Mondays and Wednesdays, although I am available for care during the evenings only on those days. I have a medium sized secure fenced garden. I will never leave your dog alone whilst they are in my care. I am gentle and kind with all animals and understand it may take time to build trust.
About: I’ve looked after various dogs over the years and where I work from home I’m very flexible and adaptable, spending time with animals brings me alot of happiness 😀 I work full time and only go into the office one day a week so very flexible I usually go for works either before or after work I have a very spacious flat and always make sure there’s nothing out that can harm any animals and always make sure there’s food and water available

“ Mary has looked after my girls a few times now. They are always happy and relaxed when I return home so much I don’t worry as much about leaving them and appreciate the daily photos. Highly recommend Mary to care for your fur babies😺😸”
About: I’ve taken care of cats for over 10 years and have always had atleast 2 in my house growing up. I currently have a Maine coon but have experience with a variety of different cats. If you simply need someone to spot by to play and give your kitty some love in the person for you, or if you prefer me to spend the night to give them extra company I can provide that as well
“Monika was excellent with our Maine Coon Nancy, who’s usually a little terror. She has an astute understand of animals - we came back to a very calm, happy cat and a tidy home after a week away in Sardinia!”
“Zoe is the perfect cat-sitter! From the start, she'd been very friendly, responsive and punctual. After every visit, she would sent me pictures and summary of my furball's mood and behaviour. Angel took to her from the very first minute of tge meet&greet, and after a few days' holiday I returned home to a very happy, relaxex, well groomed cat.”
“Hi Liz thanks so much for taking care of Bean today. He was relaxed when I got home so he was clearly happy. The photos you shared are lovely too! Look forward to seeing you again soon.”

“Tasha was very flexible and picked up all our little ways with our cats very quickly. They seemed to have enjoyed being able to stay at home this time rather than going to a cattery. Would recommend to others.”
“Jade was brilliant - she was so accommodating despite being a last minute request, did everything we asked and more. She sent us pictures whilst we were away which is always reassuring, and both our cats seemed totally happy on return which we can’t argue with. Would happily recommend Jade to anyone looking for someone to check in or take care of their pets! Thank you, Jade :)”
“I was concerned about leaving Alfie and Tikki when I had only adopted them in January. My concern was completely unnecessary. Janet so clearly is used to being around cats and likes being around cats. She spent a lot of time with them, not only with the necessaries but also tending to Alfie and Tikki's emotional needs. I came home to two relaxed cats who immediately forgave me for leaving them. Janet's diary of events awaiting me was comprehensive and entertaining. I would definitely recommend her for cat sitting duties.”
About: I have 4 years of experience as a dog sitter and a lifelong love and understanding of dogs, having lived with them since childhood. I am confident in caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, temperaments, and routines, and I always make sure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away. I treat every dog as if they were my own, giving them plenty of attention, affection, walks and reassurance. I am also confident in supporting senior dogs, including those who may need a slower pace, extra patience, gentle handling, medication reminders or additional comfort. I understand the importance of following each owner’s instructions carefully, maintaining routines and creating a peaceful home environment where dogs can relax and feel secure. I don't have any rules for the bed or furniture, so the entire home is for them to use and feel comfortable. I love for the dogs to socialise and meet new friends. I don't have our own dog, so I board one or two dogs at a time(if they are good match) , so they can have all the attention. The home is completely pet-friendly. I live close to a park and I walk pets 2-3 times a day,(unless there are special requirements). I'm truly excited to meet your best friend, feel free to reach out to me anytime. Requested information about your pet Please let me know any likes and dislikes, special needs or anything I should be aware of during the stay. I will be more than happy to accommodate special requests to make sure your doggie has a good time and is taken care This are the list of information I need from your dog ahead of the sitting: - Toilet breaks time - Walking routine - Food routine - Energy level - Any special requests/needs/preferences

Hannah even washed up empty food tins for the recycling, without being asked! I will definitely ask her to look after Magnus again. A lovely person”

“Tyson was well cared for from start to finish. Clear communication Danielle. Regular updates helped me stay informed. Tyson looked relaxed and happy in every update. Feeding, walks, and routine were followed. No issues at all. I felt confident leaving Tyson in Danielle's care. I would use her again without hesitation.”
“Minna was so great! My dog, crumble, warmed to her straight away despite usually being quite nervy of new people. Minna took her out for a lovely walk and sent an update during the day. Minna was very responsive and I felt totally at ease knowing she was caring for my pup. Would definitely recommend. Thanks Minna!”
“Jools is an open and friendly person and was instantly taken with Sole. He cam across as very professional and accommodating. During Sole's first stay with Jools he updated me with photographs of them and notes. She looked very relaxed and comfortable in the house. Jools took her on walks and she had use of the garden. Jools was also very kind to forgive Sole for digging holes in the garden too! I would definitely recommend using Jools.”
“Using Rover App is so easy and efficient. I found the perfect sitter for aging Flossie. Olesia is a first class sitter, so kind and professional - I trusted her instantly, and so did Flossie. Olesia is perfect for a single, reactive dog. The beauty is her central Eastbourne location is perfect for shopping all day, as didn't want to leave Flossie in car obviously. And also that Olecia slows dogs on soft furnishings and even her bed - very 'home from home' comforts and security. I highly rate my whole first experience and will definitely be using again 🎖️”
“We needed last minute help with our Woody and luckily Monika was available and gladly looked after him. It was amazing that he stayed with Monika as he has done so a few times now. Happy and cheerful when we picked him up and had some yummy treats from Monika to take home too. Thanks as ever Monika ❤️”

Pups had an fab experience and we received lots of pics and updates which was so reassuring as first time puppy owners! Big furry thank yous to Candace & Olive for making Oakley feel so welcome x”
“Scout had a lovely day with Gill. Really accommodating and patient (I was very anxious about leaving my puppy for the first time!) . Took great care of him and Scout will definitely be visiting again 🐾”
About: Since I was a teenager I would look after family pets and I also have an 8 month old cocker spaniel of my own that I look after daily. I am aware of dogs needs and frequent potty breaks. I also am available to do training whilst I look after your dog, nice long walks and adventurous play, ensuring they have the best time under my care. I undergo any specific requirements that your dog may need including routines. I am full time at home spending time with my own dog so everyday I am up and ready for doggy playtime and doggy walks ensuring every step of your dogs routine is followed through perfectly! I have a fenced garden with plenty of grass that is safe for dogs to play and go potty. I own a puppy myself, she is an 8 month old cocker spaniel who is very friendly and would enjoy the extra doggy company which is why I only dogsit dogs who are friendly towards each other. We have plenty of dog toys, poo bags and treats so unless you want to provide your own, we do have them at all times here as well as dog beds to rest on. I always make sure there is water available at all times and encourage doggy play and training (if required). I tend to do three walks a day but will stick to the routine that you would like for your dog.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a toddler. From family dogs including dachshunds, labradors, cavapoochons, terriers and golden retrievers, to training local dogs, I have been there for every dog I’ve met. I have experience with larger breeds, such as assisting with training multiple XL bullies and german shepard’s. I also have experience with both younger and older animals, by helping older dogs with senior animal care and also training younger puppies. I am an athlete so I am very active and walking and running constantly, and would absolutely love to ensure I can help animals younger or older get the exercise they need that’s specific to them. Currently I study and work from home, so my schedule is coming flexible! I am an athlete so spend 1-2 hours in the gym each day but that wouldn’t interfere with any pet care as that is between 6-8am each day. I make sure I walk at least twice a day but depending on the needs of the pets I am more than happy to change my schedule! I have a fenced garden in a quiet area with plenty of space and fields away from roads where I can walk animals wherever they need to go for any distance they need! I have plenty of space in my house for animals of any size. It is all pet proof and I regularly have my dog from home come visit me! While I don’t have a pet living with me, I guarantee that if your pet would like some animal company my neighbours’ pets would always be up for saying hello!

I live in a house with a fenced garden, provide a safe, loving environment where dogs are welcome to the furniture and blankets. I can provide regular updates and photos and will just be happy to provide the care and love your dog needs.
“Stephany was excellent from the initial enquiry to our doggy day-care conclusion. Our puppy seems to have had an enjoyable day in Stephany's company. She's come home in good spirits and is enjoying a well deserved nap. This was our first experience of using Rover and day-care in general. We were able to enjoy some much needed family time knowing that our dog was well cared for”

“From start to finish, it was extremely easy with Penny. After an initial meet and greet, Moog spent the day with Penny and had a great time. I received an update during the day to give me peace of mind she was getting on well. I would highly recommend Penny and will definitely be re-booking soon.”

Highly recommend and will definitely be retuning, presuming she wasn’t all cuddled out on this visit!”

About: I was lucky to grow up with dogs around me, I would walk my grandma's and my neighbour's dog on a weekly basis. I recently volunteered at a dog shelter in Shoreham where I got to walk, train and take care of many dogs, it was an amazing experience and further confirmed my love for them.

“Big Thank You Hugs to Freya for giving Max wonderful hour of adventure today 💛 Freya came to collect Maxie straight after she'd finished work, which meant a lot to me and I'm so thankful for it 💖 We haven't seen our Freya for a few weeks and Maxie was all over her when he saw she was back. It was so touching and heartwarming to see Max's tail wag at top speed as he kissed Freya to the floor! It was then really funny to peep out of the window and see Freya being taken for a run up the road by an excited Max! Freya must've decided it was her turn to take control, as she later drove Max to the big Hampden Park. I was very pleased to hear that Max is more relaxed in Freya's car, now, as he's previously expressed anxiety. He has another lovely lady who sometimes takes Max out in her car, so between thes”

About: Hi, I am a mature student looking for pet-sitting jobs. I work in healthcare and have a DBS certificate. I had three rabbits called Theadora, Claude, and Justinian. Thea lived to 12 years old, which is a good age for a rabbit. I had a border terrier called Ruby. I also had a cat at university that was imaginatively called Cat. I look after my neighbour's cats while they are away, and I also had my friend's Chocolate Labrador called Oscar live with me for several weeks while they had housing difficulties. I love walking outdoors and spending time with pets. I am currently working part-time on a Friday. I am starting university in September, and I will be required to attend class every other Wednesday; apart from that, I am a free agent. I have a fenced garden with a very high wooden fence. I own my house, and I live alone. At the moment, I have no pets. My 11-year-old daughter stays with me at weekends.
About: I love all animals, especially dogs! I grew up with many dogs in the family, and have often been relied upon by friends and family to walk their dogs, or look after their pets whilst they're away. I would love a pet of my own one day, but I'm waiting to settle in my own home first. I wanted to be a dog-walker when I was younger, but pursued a career in healthcare instead, and now I'm starting this for the joy of animal's company! I'm currently working part-time, whilst setting up my own business. I work from home, and set my own schedule, so I am very flexible in terms of availability. I live in a rented house with an enclosed fenced garden, and secure lockable gate. I'm not currently offering pet sitting at my home, but happy to care for your pets in your home, as per your usual routine.
About: I have always taken care of my families or neighbours dogs while growing up. I enjoy meeting new dogs and taking care of them when I can. I offer reliable dog walking services with flexible availability throughout the week and most weekends. I’m happy to accommodate regular schedules as well as occasional walks, ensuring your dog gets the care and exercise they need. I can take your pet out regularly for toilet breaks, a walk along the beach or to explore some of the beautiful surroundings around me. I have a cat at home but she can be put away if your pet isn’t comfortable around cats.
“Darcy was amazing with atlas and over was so sweet! Atlas absolutely loved his walk with Darcy and was so tired after!! She sent little update messages on how he was the whole time! Couldn’t have picked a better person for my first time using rover! Definitely would recommend :)))”
About: “Sniff, Explore, Exercise — Walks Tailored to Your Dog’s World.” Follow Their Nose Dog Walking I’ve spent 22 years caring for my own dogs, from raising my first boy from an eight‑week‑old puppy to supporting him through heart problems and dementia until he passed peacefully at 17. My second dog Marvin was diagnosed with a liver shunt and complex health needs two years ago and I have cared for him during his surgery and healing, teaching me the importance of patience, gentle enrichment, and adapting walks to suit a dog’s emotional and physical wellbeing. These experiences shaped my passion for supporting senior dogs, nervous dogs, rescue dogs, and dogs who have experienced trauma. I understand how much they benefit from calm handling, predictable routines, and walks that allow them to feel safe and in control. I’ve also volunteered at Raystede Animal Welfare centre, which strengthened my commitment to compassionate, ethical care and deepened my understanding of how different dogs communicate stress, curiosity, and comfort. My Approach I’m happy to walk all dogs, including those who simply need a good exercise walk. But my specialist focus is enrichment‑led sniff walks, backed by research showing that sniffing reduces stress, boosts confidence, and provides powerful mental and physical stimulation. Every walk is tailored to the dog in front of me, whether they need a brisk stretch, a slow confidence‑building sniffari adventure, or a gentle senior‑friendly outing. What I Offer A calm, patient, understanding approach Experience with senior, anxious, reactive, and medically complex dogs Exercise walks for all breeds and energy levels Specialist sniff walks that support emotional wellbeing Walks designed around enrichment, exploration, and choice Follow Their Nose Dog Walking is built on one belief: Dogs thrive when we let them be dogs—sniffing, exploring, and experiencing the world at their own pace. Completed Pet First Aid L2 (VTQ) Training with ProTrainings.UK renewal date 5 July 2029. Caring is at the heart of everything I do. I work Monday to Thursday for an older people’s charity, so empathy, patience and support are already part of my daily life. Pet care naturally fits alongside this — it’s something I genuinely love, not something I squeeze in. I offer dog walking 6.30pm–10pm Monday to Thursday, which is perfect for owners who work late, need evening support, or want their dog to have a calming enrichment walk before bedtime. I’m also fully available all day Friday, Saturday and Sunday, giving clients plenty of flexibility for regular walks, weekend adventures, or last‑minute bookings. My own 22 years of caring for dogs with complex needs has shaped how I work: calmly, gently and with a deep understanding of senior dogs, nervous dogs and those who need a little extra patience. Whether it’s an energetic dog needing exercise or a sensitive dog needing a slow, sniff‑led walk, I build my routine around what helps them feel safe, stimulated and happy. Pet care isn’t an add‑on to my week — it’s a natural extension of who I am and the work I’ve always done: supporting others with compassion and consistency. I prioritise safety, calm handling and consistency in every service I offer. For dog walking, I use secure equipment, choose safe routes and tailor the pace to each dog’s needs whether that’s a brisk exercise walk or a gentle, enrichment‑led sniff walk. For pet sitting in an owner’s home, I follow the dog’s usual routine to keep them settled and stress‑free, treating both the home and the pet with the same care I give my own. My friendly Jack Russell can also join walks if a dog would benefit from a confident, sociable companion always optional and based on what suits each individual dog.
“THANK YOU OUT SUPERSTAR KERRY FOR THE 2 WALKS YOU GAVE MY BEST BOY MAXIE LAST WEEK, EVEN THOUGH YOU HAVE A LOT TO BE SORTING OUT ELSEWHERE!! 😊 💞💞👍👍💞💞😊😊 I CAN'T THANK YOU ENOUGH FOR MY BOY ALWAYS RETURNING HOME ALL HAPPY AND RELAXED!! WE LOVE YOU XXX”
“Having some mobility issues I needed my Cavalier walked for a few weeks Alice has been great. She messages when she’s coming is on time and has been very careful of Bobby, moving times to cooler periods on hot days. Most importantly Bobby has fallen in love with her. I would happily recommend her.”
About: Hi! Here’s a little about me- I grew up with dogs (cocker spaniels & boarder collies) and then I got my beloved Chase, a Finnish Lapphund, when she was just 8 weeks old, up until the age of nearly 15. I have looked after many friends’ and family members’ dogs over the years and so not only do I have experience looking after dogs of all ages/ stages of their life, I also understand the bond and love that there is between a dog and its owner. My home is perfectly set up for a dog- gates are in place, beds, food & water bowls, anti-slip carpets for senior dogs whose paws are less stable, etc. The walled garden is secure and there is a convenient park just down the road too. I know how difficult it is to find somewhere that offers complete peace of mind, which is why I would like to offer a home from home for your dog(s), by providing a loving and reliable service for those who benefit and thrive so much more from being in a warm and welcoming household with 1-1 attention. I’m a teacher and therefore I will be able to help during school holidays in particular, as well as weekends. I am also available most Thursday afternoons from 1pm onwards. I have a walled garden and plenty of space for your dog to roam around. I don’t mind them sitting on the sofa (unless you have taught them not to!) and I can easily accommodate a crate should you want your dog to sleep in one rather than on a dog bed. I will typically walk your dog twice daily unless stated otherwise- I will always cater to your dog’s needs.
About: My name is Amie, I have always had cats as pets my whole life so already had experience with cats! I went on to get a diploma in animal management from Plumpton college and went on to work for a kennels/cattery for almost two years. I have worked for a pet sitting and dog walking company were I visited cats and other pets on the regular so I have a lot of experience with cats as a dedicated cat lover! I now work at Coastway vets in Brighton as an animal nurse assistant which has been incredible ❤️
About: I have looked after animals all my life, have housed multiple cats, I will also be caring with my partner who is also an animal lover, shes a dog lover and I'm a cat lover. I have DBS and previously SC cleared as per my jobs requirements, so you can be rest assured your house and pet will receive the best love and attention. Afternoons and Evenings would be best. Happy to stay in homes when you're away and care for your pet. Weekends are always best but my schedule can be freed up for walks, I can house sit 7 days a week and for as long as you need. I am always attentive to my cat and the needs of other pets, sadly I recently had my cat become quite unwell quite quickly and I rushed him to the vet as I wanted him to have immediate care as keeping him healthy is very important to me.
About: PLEASE MESSAGE FOR A QUITE ON PRICE. I’ve had a large dog within my family since I was 12 and I’ve loved helping train and look after her. During this time I have dog sat at many of my friends and families houses for short and long periods of time! I have also walked many different types of dogs and love getting to know each and everyone one of them!! I am currently a live in nanny so I have time during the day and some evenings to help walk some doggies! I will also have plenty of time on the weekends that I can work around my schedule! I am very adaptable and I love new experiences. I enjoy to take the time to get to know the dog and to create a bond / trust with them.
About: Since childhood animals have been a big parts of my life. Growing up with dogs, cats, and a few others you’d find on a pet bingo card. I understand that they are not just pets, they are part of the family and that it can be an anxious time leaving your pet with someone new which is why dog sitting your pet in its own is important for the comfort and safety. I have been part of our dog’s training program, even as a very small child. As a family we have fostered and helped prepare dogs for rehoming. I love being out doors and going for long walks regardless of the weather. I am available for pet sitting weekday evenings/overnight after 5:30pm or weekends, from 5:30pm on a Friday until 8:00am Monday. I work full time during the week so will need to leave by 8am the following day if weekday, overnight sitting is required. Let me know your house rules and I will fit into your pets daily routine. I will make it like part of my family. Depending on the size of the dog and its physical ability, your pet will come out with me in the day and we will relax at home during the evening.

“Olesia took care of my large puppy for a few days whilst I was out of the country and she took great care of my puppy. She gave me updates on what they were up to, sending a video and pictures so that I could relax whilst I was away knowing she was in great hands. Olesia is very caring and has a great connection with the dogs in her care and I would highly recommend her!”
“Always takes fabulously great care of scout and he has the best time! As soon as he spots where we are when we get out the car he can’t wait to see Gill! Always very reassured knowing Scoot is in such good hands🐾”

“After a family emergency I messaged Michael and Lauren at the last minute hoping that they could dog sit for us for a couple of days. We was a bit anxious about leaving Dexter who was only 14 weeks old and we hadn’t left him before. But right away when I first meet them I was reassured but due to my wife not been able to attend dropping Dexter off she was still very nervous which I explained to Micheal and Lauren Within hours of me dropping Dexter off they were keeping my wife updated with how everything was going and how Dexter was settling in with lots of pictures of him going for walks playing with their lovely puppy nova my wife was completely put at ease They continued to do that throughout Dexter whole stay with them myself and my wife would highly recommend Micheal and Lauren to care for your fur babies they are Amazingly loving and caring and treat them like their own. We have already decided they will be Dexter’s foster parents and will he will be staying with them when we are going away on holidays or occasions 10/10”
“Our dachshund Audrey went to stay with Monika for 3 nights. We were worried as she’s never stayed with people she didn’t know before. But to say she had a good time is an understatement! Monika and her husband kept me updated with photographs and we didn’t have to worry at all. Audrey can’t wait to go back already! 100% recommend!”
“Paul was great with Freddie and we are already booking more dates with him. He kept us updated with Freddie’s stay with pics and messages and always communicated well. Paul met Freddie in advance and we were more than happy for him to look after our Border Terrier.”
“I would 100% recommend Abigail. She kept us updated with news about their day and sent lots of photos. We were reassured they were happy and well looked after and we could relax with no worries about their care. When I collected them I could see how at home they made themselves. Thank you, we hope you’re available when we next go away x”

“Candace was fantastic at caring for my dog with sight and hearing impairments. I was able to go away and feel at ease that she was being cared for and loved.

About: Hi, I'm Freya! Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and my own two dogs are very much part of the family. Any dog staying with me will need to be comfortable around other dogs and will be introduced carefully to ensure everyone gets along well. As I have an entire male dog at home, I cannot accept female dogs that are in season or may be coming into season. Please let me know if this could be a possibility before booking. I am an experienced, sensible and caring dog owner who understands that every dog is different. I also have ferrets and a tortoise that live in secure areas of the garden, so it's important that I know if your dog has a high prey drive. This is something I can manage safely with the right information. I'm happy to discuss your dog's individual needs and routine to ensure they feel comfortable and settled while in my care. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, off-lead adventures (where appropriate), playtime, cuddles on the sofa, or simply sticking to their usual routine, I'm happy to accommodate. Feel free to send me a message if you'd like to chat about your dog's needs. I'd love to hear from you and see if I'm the right fit for you! I work from home on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays, making these ideal days for boarding and daycare. Dogs can also stay on Mondays and Wednesdays, although I am available for care during the evenings only on those days. I have a medium sized secure fenced garden. I will never leave your dog alone whilst they are in my care. I am gentle and kind with all animals and understand it may take time to build trust.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a toddler. From family dogs including dachshunds, labradors, cavapoochons, terriers and golden retrievers, to training local dogs, I have been there for every dog I’ve met. I have experience with larger breeds, such as assisting with training multiple XL bullies and german shepard’s. I also have experience with both younger and older animals, by helping older dogs with senior animal care and also training younger puppies. I am an athlete so I am very active and walking and running constantly, and would absolutely love to ensure I can help animals younger or older get the exercise they need that’s specific to them. Currently I study and work from home, so my schedule is coming flexible! I am an athlete so spend 1-2 hours in the gym each day but that wouldn’t interfere with any pet care as that is between 6-8am each day. I make sure I walk at least twice a day but depending on the needs of the pets I am more than happy to change my schedule! I have a fenced garden in a quiet area with plenty of space and fields away from roads where I can walk animals wherever they need to go for any distance they need! I have plenty of space in my house for animals of any size. It is all pet proof and I regularly have my dog from home come visit me! While I don’t have a pet living with me, I guarantee that if your pet would like some animal company my neighbours’ pets would always be up for saying hello!
“Really happy I chose Lisa. Shes so lovely. She put me at ease from the minute I met her. She kept me updated with how mu dog was getting on. I will happily use her again soon. Thank you so much for looking after him. Im sorry if he was a handful. But I appreciate you having him and if you feel happy to have him again I would love to use you again.”
“Just collected a very happy Saffee today. She had a lovely stay with Lauren. We received regular updates and photos . Will definitely book with Lauren again in the future. Can thoroughly recommend her.”
“This was the first time Atlanta house sat for Rio and Nala and they seemed very content! Good comms, before and during the stay, including a meet and greet. Would definitely recommend, thank you!”
“Thank you for taking care of Naia ! It was her first time staying the night but she was completely fine and settled perfectly. Nelsymar updated us with pictures and comments throughout the days.”

About: I will provide a home from home service for you, for feed and exercise times. When your dog comes to stay it's a day out with friends.
