“Amanda was absolutely fantastic with my dog. She provided lovely early and late walks, as well as plenty of garden space for him to enjoy. She is very knowledgeable about dogs, warm and welcoming, and I immediately felt that my dog was in safe and caring hands. It was clear that she genuinely loves dogs and takes their wellbeing seriously. I would highly recommend Amanda and wouldn’t hesitate to use her again.”

“Claire and her family made our dogs very welcome in their home and they’ve come home happy. We have a reactive rescue dog and Claire’s experience was very reassuring. It sounds like they’ve had great fun with Claire’s daughters and been totally spoiled with attention. Totally recommend Claire.”
“Brandel is absolutely fabulous. I had to find a dog sitter as we git let down 6 days before we were due to go on holiday. I messaged Brandel at about 8pm BH Monday & I had a reply back confirming that she could accommodate Zayla for 10 nights, she even suggested a meet and greet the next day after my husband & I finished work. Once we met her we were immediately put at ease & felt happy to leave Zayla in her care. I would recommend Brandel to anyone who is unsure of using a dog sitter. I for one will definitely be booking her again to look after Zayla when we go away next year 🥰🥰🥰”

About: We are a married friendly couple based in Portsmouth, United Kingdom. We love to explore new places and have pets as company. As we love to travel, we understand the stress of leaving our sweet angels behind, and you just want them to be as comfortable as possible and receive much love whilst you come back. Either me or my wife, or both will be taking care of your beautiful doggy. Although "young", we are very a responsible couple and will treat your pets just as ours ❤️ We both had our bulldog Khloe for 10 years, which is a very sensitive breed. We tought her how to potty train, a few commands. We also took care of her health, medication, water intake, meals, etc everything you do for a pet! My wife also pet and house sit houses in México before starting University and I've sat the cats of my parents around 10 times a year. They follow a strict diet and schedule and it is a pleasure to see them everytime. We both work from home Monday to Friday 9-5 and so there can always be someone to be with your pet. We are used to walking early in the morning, at lunch time and also in the evening and so can meet the needs of your pet. We have a large fenced garden which will allow your pet to explore should they so wish. We can also offer beds in each room and a variety of toys. We are also happy to provide meals and approved snacks and make sure they are hydrated during the day. Please be assured we will make your pet feel at home.

“Both of my dogs love staying with Elspeth, and she treats them incredibly well. Always great with her communication, kind and caring with the dogs, she is also great at giving us ideas and tips that help us continue to training our puppy. We can’t ask for better and would highly recommend Elspeth.”
“Harley, our 11 yr old dog, enjoyed a 4 night stay recently. Recieved photos of him making himself at home and on walks during his stay so reassured that all was well. Had free access to house and garden and was allowed to take himself off for a bit of r and r if he wanted a break from others. Woud be very happy for Harley to stay again”

“I felt very comfortable leaving my senior dog with Christos and Kyriacos. They are polite, responsible, and genuinely caring. I was regularly updated and sent plenty of photos of my dog enjoying his stay. They quickly won my dog over, who is picky about who he trusts, showing they made a real effort to connect with him. I could even tell he missed them when he returned home. I will definitely be reaching out to Christos and Kyriacos when I next need a sitter and recommend them to anyone looking for reliable pet sitting and peace of mind.”
“Amazing! Had a few sitters from Rover, Teodora was amazing, detailed updates and lots of pictures, my digs were very tired since coming home from all the fun, love and attention she gave them. Thank you 😊”

“Hana is so nice and flexible, she took really good care of our cat. Normally Safi is terrified of anyone entering the house but she really liked Hana, let her stroke her and stayed around for her visit. We highly recommend Hana!”
About: I’ve grown up with most family members having cats, and have been trusted to check in and cat-sit rather often. Whether you have a lap cat, an energetic cat, or an independent cat; i’m sure I can cater and make them feel at ease.

“Megan is just the loveliest person. She clearly adore’s the dogs in her care and it shows. Loki-Bear had his second day care stay today and he was so happy to go off — a huge relief because he’s usually a very anxious boy. I can already see a lovely bond building. Couldn’t recommend Megan more!””

About: Myself and my husband Liam offer a safe, loving family home for dogs who enjoy being around people. We have one friendly Jack Russell Terrier and two young children (both under 5), so any dogs staying with us must be comfortable around young children and other small dogs. I've recently been made redundant from work so I am home all week. Your dog will be treated as part of the family. We have a large, fully secure garden for playtime, with beautiful fields and woodland walks nearby, meaning plenty of exercise and enrichment tailored to your dog's needs. We understand that every dog has their own routine, so we'll happily follow your feeding, walking, sleeping and medication schedule to help them feel settled and comfortable. Dogs are welcome on the sofa if that's what they're used to at home, we want them to feel as relaxed as possible. We'll also keep you updated during their stay with photos and messages if you'd like, so you can see how much fun they're having. We're happy to arrange a meet-and-greet or a walk beforehand to make sure everyone is comfortable before booking. We look forward to welcoming your dog into our family while you're away! 🐾 DBS Checked I'm at home for most of the day, only leaving briefly for school runs or the occasional food shop. At weekends we're home all day, and while we have dogs staying with us we don't make other plans. Our focus is on giving them plenty of attention, companionship and exercise. Your dog will enjoy lots of interaction, regular walks, playtime and a relaxed family environment throughout their stay. Your dog's safety and happiness are our top priorities. We have a large, fully secure garden where they can play safely, along with nearby fields and woodland walks for daily exercise. We have one friendly Jack Russell Terrier and two young children, so we only accept dogs that are comfortable around both. We'll follow your dog's usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, medication and sleeping arrangements, to help them feel at home. Dogs are welcome on the sofa if that's what they're used to, and if preferred, we're happy to arrange a meet-and-greet or walk before their stay. We'll also send regular photo updates so you can relax knowing your dog is in safe hands. To help provide the safest possible environment, I have completed a Dogs Trust course focused on dog safety around children. The training has given me a better understanding of dog body language, safe interactions between dogs and young children, and how to create a positive, stress-free environment for everyone. While all interactions are always supervised, this additional training gives me confidence in helping dogs and children live together safely and happily.
“Our little whippet can be a bit fussy, but she has taken to Caroline very quickly and has made her house a little ‘home from home’. Caroline is a natural with dogs and highly recommended by us!”
“Jamie looked after my dog for the day and she had a really great time! Jamie is relaxed and composed and was really good with Lola, lots of walks and chill time at home. Happy dog, happy owner- highly recommend Jamie ?”
About: As a couple we both have years of experience with dogs, both in and outside of our own home. Holly has been a professional dog walker, handling up to 6 dogs a time of all varied sizes and breeds. Jasper has also joined Holly on these ventures from time to time outside of his full-time working from home role. We have experience having dogs for day-care and boarding over the past few years and love having that extra company in our home. We own our 6 year old show cocker spaniel Roscoe who loves some company from other dogs as he can play with them and show them some exciting walks in the local area. We live in a ground floor flat with a huge garden - it's a doggys paradise in there! We even have a paddling pool for them to swim in during the summer. We treat dogs like a part of the family and make sure they're always fussed with lots of cuddles, treats and playtime. We're not precious about where they decide to sit but our only rule is no dogs in the bed at night-time (Roscoe might get a bit jealous). We look forward to looking after your four-legged best friend. Holly works from home as a freelance Interior Designer and an active part-time dog walker. Jasper works from home full-time. There will always be someone home to look after your pet and give them attention. We have a fully fenced huge garden and no back-access gate, so fully secure at all times. We have our 6 year old cocker spaniel Roscoe to keep them company and show them the ropes. We are happy to have your dog crated if this is a preference and can provide the crates too.
About: I have loved animals my whole life and have grown up around pets, especially dogs. I have my own dog back home, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I’ve been caring for dogs for many years, helping friends, family, and neighbours with walking, feeding, bathing, and spending quality time with their dogs. I also have a twin brother that loves dogs as much as I do, so your dog will always have someone giving them attention and keeping them busy. We have also volunteered at a dog shelter, where we helped care for dogs of different sizes, breeds, ages and personalities. I’m currently studying at university, and caring for animals is something I truly enjoy alongside my studies. I’m patient, calm, and always make sure dogs feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I treat every dog as if it were my own and always follow the owner’s routine and instructions. Your dog will have the best time with us and will feel like home around us, in a safe, cozy environment. Pet care fits really well into my routine. I’m currently studying at university, which gives me a flexible schedule during the day and evenings. I enjoy spending my free time caring for animals, going on walks, playing, and keeping pets company. I’m happy to adjust to your pet’s routine and make sure they get the time, attention, and care they need. Your pet’s safety and comfort are very important to me. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully and stick to the pet’s usual routine. I keep a clean, calm, and safe environment and make sure pets are always supervised, especially during walks or playtime. I treat every pet with kindness and patience, making sure they feel secure, relaxed, and well cared for. My brother and I can make sure every pet feels like home!
“Preston was absolutely amazing with our nervous / anxious dog - Rocko took to Preston and it seems like he had a really great time! Thanks so much and for the updates through the day too!”

Alex also took great care of his meals and made sure he was well looked after throughout his stay. He came back happy and relaxed. We couldn’t be happier with the care he received. Best of the best! Highly recommended! ❤️”

“Absolutely no words for Karen! She is truly the kindest person. As a first-time puppy parent with a million questions and requests, she was so patient and understanding. On top of that, she sent me the most beautiful photos from their walk, which completely made my day. I would recommend her 1000%”
“James has been great with my two dogs, one of which is blind and the other is a typical terrier! He always arrives on time and the app shows me the route they have taken and gives updates about toileting etc. I can’t praise him enough, thanks James 😊”
About: Hi, I'm Michelle🐾 Animals have been at the heart of my life since childhood. Recently, my family said a heartbroken goodbye to our beloved 14.5-year-old dog, Ozzie. I deeply miss the presence, joy, and unconditional love that pets bring to a home. I would consider it an absolute privilege to care for yours and look after them just like family. My husband, Phil, joins me on all overnight house sits, meaning your pets get double the love, attention, and security while you are away. Whether you have an energetic pup who needs a dedicated walk or a quiet cat who prefers independent fuss, we adapt completely to their routines. 🛡️ For Your Total Peace of Mind: • Fully Independently Insured: Beyond the basic platform guarantee, I hold comprehensive UK Pet Business Insurance (including Public Liability, Care/Custody/Control, and Key Cover). • Legal & Safe: Fully compliant with local Portsmouth City Council PSPOs for dog walking and the UK Highway Code for secure animal transit. • Cat & Dog Friendly: Experienced with everything from senior dog care to managing microchip cat flaps and strict feeding schedules. We always love to arrange a complimentary Meet & Greet beforehand to ensure we are a perfect fit for your furry family members! I’m currently not working after returning from working abroad in France for the past few years so am available at short notice, I also have a car so can easily get to your home. I will look after your pet in your home and respect both and treat them with the utmost care and love. I am happy to follow all instructions that you leave.
About: I have years of experience, from growing up with family pets to having my own dog (seen in the photo). Due to this, I know what is important and required when looking after your beloved pets. I have looked after others pets before (over nights, walks and drop ins) as well as leaving my own dog with walkers and sitters. I will ensure I ask all of the relevant questions about your pet and get to know them before embarking on day care/ walks or drop ins. If you would like your dog to have company and a play companion, I can also bring my own friendly spaniel (Podrick) on walks. Of course, this is optional to you and your pups needs. I will make sure to take lots of photos and videos to send to you along the way. I know what it’s like missing your furry friend! I am in between jobs at the moment and have a free summer so my routine can be very flexible for your pets. With enough notice, I am happy to help. If you require drop in visits and home stays, I will make sure to ask all the relevant questions so that your pet has a high standard of care. I will respect your home and space. I know what it is like having drop in visits due to having had them for my own dog. You can be assured that your home will be respected.
“Victoria really helped us out, it was a last minute booking because someone let us down. Luna loves her walks and she was very happy when we came home. I got some good photos of her on her walks so I knew she was having fun and Victoria always sent me a message in the evening to let me know how her walks had gone that day. She was very professional and kept me informed the whole time. I would definitely contact Victoria to look after Luna in the future.”
“Lara did a drop-in visit for our dogs, Benson and Frankie, on Christmas Day, and we couldn’t have asked for better care. She went the extra mile to make sure they were comfortable and well looked after both before and after their walk. She even hid treats around the house for them to find after she’d left, which was such a thoughtful touch. When we were unexpectedly delayed later that evening, we reached out on very short notice, and Lara immediately stepped in to help without hesitation. She is proactive, attentive, and genuinely cares about the dogs’ wellbeing. Lara is trustworthy, reliable, and someone you can absolutely count on — we’re so grateful for her support. Lara is a super star!”
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs and cats and have always played a hands-on role in caring for them. I also spent two years working at a farm-based school where I was responsible for caring for a wide range of animals, including livestock. I’m confident with all breeds, sizes and ages of dogs and cats, and their health and wellbeing are always my top priorities. I treat every animal with the same love, patience, and respect I would give my own, and I pride myself on being a reliable and responsible caregiver. I’m also an active person, so I genuinely enjoy dog walks just as much as the dogs do! Whether your pet is energetic and adventurous or prefers a slower pace, I’m happy to adapt to suit their needs. Most importantly, I want every pet in my care to feel safe and loved while you’re away. I’m currently working part-time, term time only, and so I have consistent availability on Mondays, Saturdays and Sundays and occasionally extra days in non-term times. I can drive to various pet owners’ houses per day. I’m available to feed, walk, play with, and relax alongside your pets, ensuring they feel comfortable and cared for at all times. I have a strong understanding of animals’ needs and always put their wellbeing first, providing attentive and compassionate care tailored to each individual pet.
About: I have worked as a veterinary assistant for 3 years now, and I absolutely love caring for animals! I work with cats, dogs and small furries everyday with plenty of experience in handling, caring, behaviours etc... I have been pet sitting and dog walking since January this year, and after a very successful few months on Pawshake I have decided to join Rover too. This is along side my full time working hours at my vets, please message me before booking so I can check my shift times. I work full time at my Vets and I pet sit and dog walk in my spare time so please give me a message to see if I’m available. I do not offer services for pets at my house as I live in a house share and pets are not allowed. I am willing to stay at pet owners house.
“Isla loves her walks with Caroline! She always gets her energy out and Isla seems very happy when she gets home. Caroline is easy to get hold of and flexible for schedule changes. Thanks!”
About: What sets me apart is the depth and variety of experience I’ve built over my whole life. I’ve grown up with dogs and cats, and after losing my two border collies to old age, I really miss having animals around — so caring for other people’s pets brings a lot of joy and purpose into my home. I’ve looked after pets for family, friends, and referrals for years, which has given me experience with everything from puppies and high‑energy working breeds to small dogs who prefer a calmer pace. I’ve also cared for senior dogs, including my own, and understand the patience, gentleness, and extra support they need. I recently cared for a diabetic cat, so I’m confident with injections and administering medication to both cats and dogs. I’m comfortable managing reactivity, maintaining puppy training, and providing enrichment activities that stimulate a dog’s mind — not just their body. I’m always learning more about animal behaviour and care because I genuinely love what I do. I’ve even looked after other pets like tortoises, fish, and hamsters, so I’m adaptable and confident with a wide range of needs. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine because I work part‑time from home and also care for my gran, so there is usually someone around throughout the day. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to plan walks, feeding times, and play sessions without rushing. I’m able to adapt to each pet’s usual routine — whether they need early mornings, midday attention, or a calm evening wind‑down — and make sure they get consistent companionship and care. Whether it’s weekdays or weekends, I make sure each pet gets the right balance of attention, exercise, and calm time. I provide a calm, safe, and welcoming environment for pets. I live with my gran, who loves having dogs around, and my home has a secure garden where pets can enjoy fresh air safely. Because I’m home often, pets get plenty of supervision and company. I follow each owner’s instructions closely, keep doors and gates secure, and make sure pets stay comfortable and relaxed. Having previously owned two border collies, I’m experienced with routines, exercise needs, and understanding different personalities. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they always feel confident their pet is in good hands.
About: I’m always the one asked to dog or cat sit! I absolutely love doing it and getting to know the pets. I do sometimes think I’m a dog whisperer as I seem to know what they want or are thinking. I provide lots of cuddles and plenty of play. I have experience looking after both large and small dogs. I have also looked after multiple dogs at once, meeting each of their specific needs. I have experience with nervous and anxious dogs too, adapting the dog walk to suit the dog. I currently work in hospitality but I’m able to be flexible with my days and shifts. I love going out for walks so a little dog to join me would be fab. This gives me the best of both worlds as I sometimes travel so having a pet isn’t suitable for me full time. I have a fenced garden and plenty of parks to offer a well deserved play outside. I enjoy caring for pets in their own home and getting to know their home comforts and routine.
“I have a fear reactive GSD. Victoria was calm and confident when dealing with her and was able to gain her trust very quickly and was soon able to get her to engage in play and respond to commands. I will definitely be using Victoria again”
About: I will love and care for your pets as I would my own and will listen to and meet their needs as required by you.

I’m just about to embark on a dog walking service, after many years of owning dogs. So can be very flexible with time. I can offer walks that are either gentle or long and enriching to meet your pets personal needs. I have had an all sorts of pets all of my life. I currently have 1 Labrador, 2 cats and two geckos, but have ranged from stick insects and guinea pigs, to fish and chickens over the years. I’m currently starting up as a dog walker, so have unlimited time slots at the moment. I’m happy to come to your pet in the morning or afternoon. I will try my very best to fit around your pet and treat it as if it were my own. I will provide playtime, cuddles, feed, litter changes and any other requirements they might need. They will be given all the love and attention they deserve. Ina trained in animal first aid and have a DBS check too.
About: Hi I'm Liz and I bring structure, safety, and a genuine love of animals to every walk. I am currently studying for my professional dog training accreditation, balancing my passion for canine behavior with the equally busy job of raising a toddler! With over 20 years of experience—ranging from Staffies to Shepherds—I understand that every dog is an individual. Whether it’s a structured group walk, a 1-2-1 training session, or looking after your pet cats (a service I’ve proudly provided for over a decade), your pets are in safe, loving, and highly capable hands. My current schedule offers plenty of flexibility, meaning I can often accommodate visits at the times that work best for you and your pets. I’m available throughout the week, Monday to Friday, and frequently have space for weekend bookings too. I balance my professional life with my family, so just get in touch to see how I can fit into your pet's weekly calendar! Safety isn't just a checklist—it’s the foundation of everything I do. Whether I’m visiting your cat or dog, I apply my professional training background to ensure a low-stress, high-security environment. In Your Home: I maintain your pet’s routine to keep anxiety low. For cat visits and puppy pop-ins, I ensure all doors and gates are secure, food/water is fresh, and your home is left exactly as I found it. On the Lead: I use modern, force-free equipment and keep a watchful eye on body language. I choose walking environments that suit your dog’s temperament—avoiding over-stimulating areas for nervous pups and finding the best sniff-spots for the energetic ones. Travel & Transport: Your pets are transported safely and comfortably, with climate control and secure restraints as a priority. Health & Hygiene: I use eco-friendly waste bags and ensure all equipment is cleaned regularly to prevent the spread of germs. Emergency Ready: Fully insured and trained to spot the subtle signs of heat stress or anxiety before they become a problem.
About: I have had animals all my life. Dogs, cats, rabbits, rats and everything in between. I have always been passionate about looking after animals and finally have an opportunity to do something with it. Whilst I have no professional experiance, I have a lifetime of personal experiance looking after my own pets and those of friends and family. I have a Level 2 in Animal Care and I'm currently working through a diploma in Pet Sitting and Dog Walking I'm not currently working so I have full availability across the week. Ideally I would love to turn this into a 9-5 Monday to Friday role with limited availability for evenings and weekends. Eventually I will be looking at a boarding liscence as well. At first I wont be offering care at my own home. So I will be looking after your pets in the comfort of their own space. Dog walks will only be off lead with permission and with good recall/no aggression. I will only walk 2-3 dogs at a time and will offer solo walks for dogs who need to be walked alone.

About: I’ve been around animals for most of my life and I have always had a huge love for them. Growing up, we had a lovely rescue Collie x Whippet from when I was 9 years old, which gave me early experience with rescue dogs and the understanding of different temperaments. She had diabetes, and eventually turned blind. I helped out with giving insulin and support. I also fostered a very sweet rescue Pomeranian (mixed breed) for 4 years who was nervous, reactive and possessive when she first came to me. Through patience, consistency and building trust, I made huge progress with her, including her confidence around men and children especially, and we created an incredibly close bond together. I am a naturally calm, gentle and nurturing person, however I am firm when necessary as I believe dogs thrive with clear boundaries, patience and kindness. I’m confident around a variety of personalities and happy with lead walks, off-lead walks (where safe and recall is appropriate), forest walks, road walks and field walks. I also drive a 7 seater and I'm happy for dogs to be in my car. As a mum to two young children aged 4 and 1, safety is extremely important to me. My youngest will be with me in a pram during walks, so I only accept dogs that are comfortable and trustworthy around children and prams. I’m experienced and comfortable around other domestic and non-domestic animals. Your pet would be treated with genuine care, patience and attention as if they were my own 🐾❤️ I have a flexible routine as I am a stay at home mum and I am available for walks and drop-ins during school hours. I enjoy being outdoors daily and can often accommodate different schedules within those times. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I would always care for them with patience, kindness and attention. I take the time to get to know each dog’s personality and routine so they feel safe, comfortable and happy in my care. I’m comfortable with lead walks and off-lead walks where safe and approved by the owner. As I may have my youngest child in a pram with me, I only accept dogs which are friendly and comfortable around children and prams. During drop-in visits, I’m happy to provide company, playtime, feeding, fresh water, toilet breaks and plenty of fuss and reassurance. I will always treat your pet and home with genuine care and respect. I have worked as a domestic carer and cleaner in the past, and this experience has taught me how to be a trusted, respectful presence in a home, ensuring that you feel completely at ease and confident while I am there caring for your pet. Please note, I will have my 1 year old with me unless childcare can be prearranged, please feel free to reach out as this can be worked around.

“Amanda was absolutely fantastic with my dog. She provided lovely early and late walks, as well as plenty of garden space for him to enjoy. She is very knowledgeable about dogs, warm and welcoming, and I immediately felt that my dog was in safe and caring hands. It was clear that she genuinely loves dogs and takes their wellbeing seriously. I would highly recommend Amanda and wouldn’t hesitate to use her again.”
“Courtney and her family were amazing. Winston had a great couple of days with them. She gave regular updates and shared photos. I’m sure Winston would love to go back again”
“Ho Mei did a great job of looking after our cocker spaniel, Harvey. Communication was very prompt and professional, lots of photos were sent of him so we could see what he’d been doing and he clearly enjoyed his walks and cuddles. Highly recommend.”
“Claire and her family made our dogs very welcome in their home and they’ve come home happy. We have a reactive rescue dog and Claire’s experience was very reassuring. It sounds like they’ve had great fun with Claire’s daughters and been totally spoiled with attention. Totally recommend Claire.”
“Brandel is absolutely fabulous. I had to find a dog sitter as we git let down 6 days before we were due to go on holiday. I messaged Brandel at about 8pm BH Monday & I had a reply back confirming that she could accommodate Zayla for 10 nights, she even suggested a meet and greet the next day after my husband & I finished work. Once we met her we were immediately put at ease & felt happy to leave Zayla in her care. I would recommend Brandel to anyone who is unsure of using a dog sitter. I for one will definitely be booking her again to look after Zayla when we go away next year 🥰🥰🥰”
“Emily looked after our cockapoo, Kevin, and took such great care of him! We cannot thank Emily enough for looking after him so well and providing regular updates with photos. We would not hesitate to book again!”
“A wonderful family who took great care of Doris like she was their own. She didn't want to leave when I came to pick her up! I wouldn't hesitate to book Rhiannon again in the future.”
About: We are a married friendly couple based in Portsmouth, United Kingdom. We love to explore new places and have pets as company. As we love to travel, we understand the stress of leaving our sweet angels behind, and you just want them to be as comfortable as possible and receive much love whilst you come back. Either me or my wife, or both will be taking care of your beautiful doggy. Although "young", we are very a responsible couple and will treat your pets just as ours ❤️ We both had our bulldog Khloe for 10 years, which is a very sensitive breed. We tought her how to potty train, a few commands. We also took care of her health, medication, water intake, meals, etc everything you do for a pet! My wife also pet and house sit houses in México before starting University and I've sat the cats of my parents around 10 times a year. They follow a strict diet and schedule and it is a pleasure to see them everytime. We both work from home Monday to Friday 9-5 and so there can always be someone to be with your pet. We are used to walking early in the morning, at lunch time and also in the evening and so can meet the needs of your pet. We have a large fenced garden which will allow your pet to explore should they so wish. We can also offer beds in each room and a variety of toys. We are also happy to provide meals and approved snacks and make sure they are hydrated during the day. Please be assured we will make your pet feel at home.
“Harley, our 11 yr old dog, enjoyed a 4 night stay recently. Recieved photos of him making himself at home and on walks during his stay so reassured that all was well. Had free access to house and garden and was allowed to take himself off for a bit of r and r if he wanted a break from others. Woud be very happy for Harley to stay again”
“Amazing! Had a few sitters from Rover, Teodora was amazing, detailed updates and lots of pictures, my digs were very tired since coming home from all the fun, love and attention she gave them. Thank you 😊”
“A lovely, warming and caring family who made us at ease from the first contact. Lots of photos and regular updates on our pooch. So very glad to have had our Charlie stay with Yana and her family.”
“We would really recommend Lee and are likely to book him again in the future for our dog, Harbie! Harbie isn't the easiest dog at times, because he can be reactive to other dogs. However it sounds like Harbie had a great experience with his walks and made himself comfortable in his home! Harbie loves people and adapts very well to different situations. Thank you, Lee - we will be in touch next time we plan a trip! ^_^”
“Excellent service from start to finish. Rumble loved his stay and didn’t want to leave. I received regular updates on how he was doing. Thankyou! 100% will be rebooking!”
About: I’ve taken care of my dogs and cat in the past. Since moving to England I could not yet have my own pet, therefore I enjoy spending time my friends’s and family’s pets :) I am currently working full time from home and could be available before work, during lunch break, after work and for home stays during a day. P Meeting feeding and walk schedules, play sessions, plenty of attention, ensuring that home remains secure - whilst home sitting I can also look after the plants :)
“Our slightly tricky dogs were so at home with Preston that they didn't give a backward glance when we handed them over. We got lots of updates and photos so could see that they were in clover during their stay. Definitely a five star holiday for them!”
“Holly and jasper took really good care of our dog. Sent loads of pictures of him enjoying his little holiday, which was really nice and unexpected. They are really friendly personable people and I felt very comfortable leaving my lovely dog with them. Sometimes Rufus can be a bit over excited and jumpy and this was no problem for them, which was a relief. I would highly recommend them, they also had a lovely big garden for him to play in. And let him sit on the sofa!!”
“Wilder has a fab time - walks, adventures and playtime with Willow. It's lovely to find a place he's happy to visit and stay. He will be visiting again and will no doubt have a great time with Emma and her family”
