“Nicola and her family were just fantastic. Branston loved staying with them and the family loved having him. Nicola is a very caring person and loves dogs. Nicola also sends lots of doggy updates and pics and knowing our dog was being well looked after just meant we could enjoy our break without worrying.”
“I cannot fault Helena's care of our corgi, Wolfie, when we left him with her overnight. She was most efficient with her organization, took pains to get to know him beforehand and sent us lots of pictures and messages about how he was getting on. She was happy to administer his eye ointment and gave him several walks. He came back full of beans and had obviously been well looked after. We would have no hesitation in placing him with her again. Julia”

I can't praise her enough for her kindness and at short notice too.”
“Alline and her family looked after Freddie for us whilst we were at a wedding in the area. He had such a wonderful time, and we received regular pictures and videos of him on beautiful walks and having lots of fun at home, which was so reassuring! Freddie came home with a little toy and some really touching letters from her children - what a wonderful family 🥰 We wouldn’t hesitate to use Alline again and would 100% recommend her for dog sitting. Thank you so much!”
“Joanna and her family were so perfect with my boy! It was his birthday while I was away and she reassured me every single day with texts and piccies and on his 15th birthday she sent photos of him devouring his birthday cupcake and getting extra cuddles, so spoilt hahah!

“Yasmin is a fantastic choice to look after your doggos! My two dogs stayed with her for a week, but we first had a quick meet-up a few weeks beforehand so they (and I) could get to know her. When I dropped them off for their stay, it was clear she’d already made a great impression — they were so excited to see her again! There were no issues at all during their stay. Yasmin kept in touch throughout the week with a lovely stream of photos and updates from their various adventures — both around her flat and on their walks around the racecourse — which was so reassuring. When I picked them up, both Nova (a medium-sized Labradoodle) and Roxy (a small Cockapoo) were happy, healthy, freshly bathed, well-fed, and delightfully exhausted after a week of walks, pampering, and cuddles. Thank you, Yasmin — from me, Nova, and Roxy! 🐾”
“Lousie took monty at short notice for which we were very thankful. He thoroughly enjoyed his stay with Louises dogs who were lovely and helped him settle in. Would recommend and use again.”
“Jess was incredible with our 2 mini dachshunds, she was incredibly active with both of them. They came home very happy boys! Looks of updates and chats sent through during the stay, we felt totally relaxed this being our first time leaving them with anyone they didn’t know. We will defo be using her again ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Recommend to anyone!”
“It was difficult for us to leave our baby for a few days but we definitely found the right person to look after her. Jess sent through photos and videos of Bella playing with her dogs, and by the looks of it she didn’t miss us! We are very happy to leave Bella with Jess in the future and can’t thank her enough for taking such good care of her. Would highly recommend Jess to anyone looking for a dog sitter!”
“These guys are great and we will be definitely be using them again. They were always in touch and sending us pics and videos of our dog whilst he was with them. Our dog had a lovely time and was very happy.”
“Eliot and his partner were fantastic hosts for our dog Ffinn. They were vary caring and understanding of his needs, especially during a period of very hot weather and exercised him as we wished. We particularly liked the narrative and photos that Eliot sent us daily as it reassured us that Ffinn was doing well. When we collected Ffinn, it was clear that he had enjoyed his stay, he was comfortable in Eliot's house but still pleased to see us. Overall, I would highly recommend Eliot and his partner.”
“Victoria was really friendly & helpful in accommodating our dachshund Frank. She met with us before the stay to make sure we were happy & our dog would feel happy. Communication was good. Would recommend :) Thank you, Victoria!”
“Rosann and her husband looked after Maca overnight, and the whole experience was lovely from start to finish. We met beforehand with the dogs to make sure they were comfortable and happy with each other, which really put my mind at ease. Maca clearly enjoyed his stay and was very well looked after. Rosann and her husband were both friendly, caring and welcoming, and I felt completely comfortable leaving him with them. I’d happily recommend Rosann to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to look after their dog, and I’d definitely be happy for Maca to stay with them again.”
“Lucie had a lovely time with Oliver and Holly, they looked after her so well. They certainly are experienced at responding to individual dogs needs, Lucie is a more mature dog! And they took extra care with making her comfortable in the heatwave, she loved the ice creams! Thank you so much for having her, we will definitely like you to look after again.”

“I couldn’t recommend Ellie enough. She took amazing care of my kitten Milo — she was incredibly attentive, responsive, and clearly passionate about animals. Such a lovely person, and it’s obvious how much she truly cares. She went above and beyond and I felt completely at ease knowing Milo was in great hands.”
“Beth was absolutely amazing looking after my cat for a week. We had a meet and greet so my cat could meet Beth before I went away and we could discuss what was needed, which was great. My cat was immediately super comfortable with Beth, which massively eased me whilst away. Beth was very communicative and sent updates, photos, and videos every day so I could see how my cat was getting on. Would definitely recommend Beth to anyone needing a cat sitter, and will definitely be re-booking if Beth is available next time I have the need. Thank you so much!”

I also recently rescued two kittens dumped near my house and raised them so they could be adopted, which has made me love cats even more so I’d be more than happy to help any cat owners in need of a helping hand.
“We felt completely at ease leaving our Bengals in the care of Maria while on holiday. We had initial visits with Maria before our holiday to ensure Benji & Talulah were comfortable and they connected straight away. Talulah became nervous before we left, but after a day Maria sent us updates to show Talulah venturing out to socialise! All updates received were as expected and nothing unusual regarding our cats behaviour. We have already booked Maria again for our next holiday and will be recommending to our friends and family!!”

Our precious pooches were as happy and lively as they always are and so I'm 100% positive they had a good time with Yasmin the whole day. No hesitation in recommending this lovely young lady to take good care of your precious pooch and we would definitely use her again should we visit Newbury again in the future. Thank you xx”

About: I’ve lived with dogs and other animals my entire life, so I am very much an animal lover at heart. I love big and small breeds so would be happy to look after any and I will carefully abide by any requirements you have (medicine, feeding times, walking times and lengths of walks,etc.) I have also cared for dogs with difficulties and am happy to help with this too. I have previous work experience as a leading kennel hand, however I prefer the care given to pets when cared for by a trusted pet sitter hence why I now offer these services myself. I am used to caring for plenty of my own pets on a day to day basis and am home focusing on art majority of the time, so love to have the company of a furry friend and make sure they have a fabulous time too! I also have a family member (also fellow animal lover) in the household who is working from home so it is very easy for us to give our full attention and care to any animals. This means I am also available nights/evenings to house sit with pets. We have a fenced in garden so it’s all safe and plenty of local areas to walk, wether your dog prefers little streams or open fields and wooded areas! Dogs are also allowed anywhere in the house so they feel more comfortable and will hardly ever be left alone, if they even are.
“Hayley was recommended by another Bulldog mum who had used her before and like us all, I wanted someone that knew the breed as they do have quirky traits! Throughout the day Hayley kept me updated with photos of Blu, who was thoroughly enjoying the cuddles and playtime. So happy with the care that I have already booked in again with Hayley and her bully Barney. Def recommend if you want a home from home environment for your furry friend.”
“Nicola (and Darren) were absolutely wonderful and so welcoming to our sausage dog! They have a beautiful home and garden, and it’s clear they have a wealth of experience looking after dogs. Nicola kept us updated throughout our dog's stay with frequent photos and videos, which gave us total peace of mind. Our dog was thoroughly spoiled—she was taken for a lovely walk in the nearby woods, slept in a very comfy bed, and was given a squeaky toy and endless cuddles. In fact, she was so happy she didn’t even want to leave when we came to pick her up! Thank you both so much. I highly recommend them to anyone!”
About: A dog loving hooman who just can't get enough of the little rascals. A dog photographer recently moved from Anglesey to Berkshire with experience in owning my own dogs from Mastiffs to Doberman, and mostly rescues. Some absolute terrors in need of full time affection and training. I enjoy looking after dogs and learning about the personalities of each breed. I have gone through extensive (and very expensive) dog behaviousral training for previous rescue dogs over the years and spend a lot of time leanring about training techniques through well known online trainers. I find the different techniques interesting from trainer to trainer and enjoy training dogs as directed by owners. I'm happy walking an absolute nightmare large breed (ahem Doberman) to doing tricks with a well trained Collie off the lead. Always following the rules set by the owner. I have three dog loving children, age 5-11, who all want a dog, so also enjoy the walks, training and cuddles offered. They are well versed in approaching dogs carefully and not overcrowding etc. If you need a good friendly, safe location for you dog then give me a shout. We also have a fantastic woodland at the rear of the house, perfect for short or long walks without needing to drive to a dog park. Also have a good sized garden with 6ft fence perimeter set on a private housing estate. I am a photographer and due to recently moving to the area, don;t have too much of a busy schedule. I also work from home most of the time. So, I am generally at home Mon-Fri. As mentioned, I have a fab walking area nearby, a good sized garden, and I can follow guidelines set by the owner. Crating, leaving alone, short walks/long walks, whatever you require.
“Daisy had day-care with Charlie for 5 evenings throughout a month while my Husband and I attended antenatal classes. Charlie and his partner were fantastic, and Daisy clearly loved going to be looked after by them. Charlie was brilliant with communication with us as well, and always completed the rover card with lovely photos of Daisy enjoying her stay. We will certainly love to book with Charlie again :)”

DBS Checked Fully Insured Canine First Aid Trained I work from home, so I am around throughout the day to offer company, cuddles, attention and plenty of reassurance, while also giving your dog time to relax and settle into their own routine. Each day will include two countryside walks, as well as time to enjoy the secure garden, relax in the home and enjoy plenty of fuss and attention.

Before their stay, I’d love to meet you and your dog, have a chat about what they’re used to, what they enjoy and get to know them a little. It’s also a lovely chance for you to have a look around, meet me and see where your dog will be staying.
About: Since my mid twenties I have had dogs, and get a great deal of enjoyment from being around them. Our standard labradoodle, also loves other dogs too. We have a good garden space for dogs, all fenced off. Dogs also have their own dry and warm space inside, which has direct access to the garden for play. I work from home full time and am always available. Often I get booked up, so in advance booking is recommended. Dog walks take place around my working gaps, so do vary from day to day and last between 20 minutes and 40 minutes. As mentioned above. The garden is a decent size for play and interaction between your dog(s) and my dog. The area is fenced and when I am in the garden the dogs can play. When not in the garden, the dogs are safe in a dry, pet friendly area, which has plenty space to lie down and relax in safely.
About: *AVAILABLE EASTER 2026* I've looked after many pets at different houses including for friends when they've gone on holiday and for people I don't know through other websites. I always get 5/5 star reviews & I've got many repeat customers. I can take care of pets locally (Newbury) throughout the day and I can stay away at weekends and during school holidays to care in your home. I will go to your home to let pets out and back in. I can walk them if required. If staying, I'll throw a ball for them, hide treats for them to find, give them lots of cuddles and attention.
“Marcus and Kathleen are absolutely perfect. This is the first time for our teenage pup Whisky doing day-care in a home and sleepover. Many updates and photos. Whisky was having a lot of fun and love with them no doubt. And Bailey is such a friendly and gentle lad, definitely will book again with this family. Thanks again for hosting our fur ball.”
About: Having 2 dogs myself, I understand how important it is the find a safe, loving home away from home to make them happy when I’m away. I’ve used this app for years and having just moved into a larger house with big enclosed garden I thought its time to offer the same (and my dogs love extra company for playtime!). I work from home on a full time basis and generally walk my dogs for an hour over lunch. They sit behind me snuggled against the Aga or playing fetch on the lawn. I have a fully fenced garden and live down a quiet private road within a small village. There is plenty of space for crates if needed.

Robyn sent through a video and some pictures as well as sending a few messages to let us know how he was and when she was heading off. Robyn’s love for dogs and the experience she has shines through and made me feel at ease knowing he was in good hands. Thank you so much Robyn!”

I am happy to adjust each visit to the needs of your pet, whether that be to sit and snuggle , play in the garden or a park, or a short or long walk. My own 13 year old Sprocker Spaniel, is very friendly and will make a lovely temporary companion if walked together. I am able to walk them separately if needed.
About: I have had a pet dog and 3 pet cats since the age of 11 and have grown up to love animals of every kind. I am well experienced in caring for and understanding animal temperament, and improving through play and training. I am excited for my Rover journey and look forward to welcoming your pets❤️ I currently work as cabin crew so my schedule can vary from week to week. When I am not flying, my days off are completely free with availability for any times. I have a fenced garden and a pet free home currently, so your fur babies can be free and feel comfortable roaming around my home and garden safely. I am happy to travel to your homes and pet sit in your own home also.
About: I’ve lived with dogs and other animals my entire life, so I am very much an animal lover at heart. I love big and small breeds so would be happy to look after any and I will carefully abide by any requirements you have (medicine, feeding times, walking times and lengths of walks,etc.) I have also cared for dogs with difficulties and am happy to help with this too. I have previous work experience as a leading kennel hand, however I prefer the care given to pets when cared for by a trusted pet sitter hence why I now offer these services myself. I am used to caring for plenty of my own pets on a day to day basis and am home focusing on art majority of the time, so love to have the company of a furry friend and make sure they have a fabulous time too! I also have a family member (also fellow animal lover) in the household who is working from home so it is very easy for us to give our full attention and care to any animals. This means I am also available nights/evenings to house sit with pets. We have a fenced in garden so it’s all safe and plenty of local areas to walk, wether your dog prefers little streams or open fields and wooded areas! Dogs are also allowed anywhere in the house so they feel more comfortable and will hardly ever be left alone, if they even are.
“Steven has been great with our dog Ted, taking the time to build trust with a nervous dog. Even when the next walk starts the same way due to Ted being anxious, still calm and patient. Highly recommended.”
About: I have grown up with dogs and have been trusted to look after families and friends dogs since I was very young. I am a vegetarian and love all animals! I work part time at a secondary school, teaching art and design, therefore I have a lot of free time during school holidays to spend with your pet! My pets are treated with the best care and love, I will make sure your animals have exactly what they need whether that’s pots of cuddles or long walks.

“Steph is absolutely brilliant with Juno, our Chocolate Labrador. She was happy to come round and meet us all before taking Juno out properly for the first time, and was really patient as Juno got used to the change in her routine. Steph was also excellent at taking on board our specific instructions, and left detailed comments and photos after every walk. We would definitely recommend Steph, and would be happy to book her again.”
About: I have had dogs throughout my whole life and have walked many of my friends of families dogs consistently throughout the past 3 years. I have had experience walking a small group of dogs daily for a more than a few months, have walked dogs solo including bigger breeds. I have taken dogs solo and in a group to dog parks for extra exercise. I have also owned cats for 7 years and am experienced with their behaviour and know how to acknowledge their needs and give them the appropriate attention. I’m currently working part time on a 6 hour contract in retail, I’m looking to make a little extra money to be able to get by after finishing college this year and this is a perfect opportunity for me. I own a cat and dog sit my sister’s dog regularly while she is at work. My cat gets all the attention in the world, he is an active cat and likes to be left alone sometimes, owning a cat like this made me aware of the signs that a cat needs space. I have walked my sister’s dog many times over 2 years, she can be unhappy around other dogs sometimes so I know how to deal with a dog that is stressed. I provide a safe and enjoyable environment for any animal I encounter.
About: I’ve always had animals around me through my family, particularly dogs, and have been involved in looking after them over the years. I’m comfortable with the everyday responsibilities that come with having a pet, from feeding and walks to playtime, keeping them company and making sure they’re settled and comfortable. I’ve always enjoyed being around animals and tend to be quite attentive to them. I think it’s important to pay attention to their individual personalities and routines rather than treating every pet the same. Some animals are very sociable and want lots of attention, while others are more independent or take a little longer to feel comfortable with someone new. Whether it’s a walk, a drop in visit, looking after them in their own home or having them stay with me, I’d make sure they get the care and attention they’re used to. I’m also happy to follow any specific routines or instructions you have, so there’s as little disruption to their normal day as the possible. I work Monday to Friday and work from home on Wednesdays and Fridays, which gives me more flexibility for pet care during the week. On my work-from-home days, I’m able to fit in walks or drop-in visits and can also provide company during the day. Outside of work, I’m generally available in the evenings and at weekends. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and fit in walks, visits or longer stays depending on what you need. My schedule means I can offer a good mix of weekday and weekend availability while still keeping pet care manageable alongside my usual routine. I want pets to feel comfortable and settled, whether they’re staying with me or I’m looking after them in their own home. I’d always take the time to understand their usual routine, personality and any specific instructions from their owner before looking after them. In my home, I’d make sure they have a calm, safe space and would keep an eye on them throughout their stay. I’d also follow any rules around food, walks, sleeping arrangements or anything else they’re used to. For walks and drop-ins, I’d be mindful of their surroundings and make sure they’re safe and supervised at all times. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big responsibility. I’d treat every animal with patience and care, and I’m happy to keep owners updated with messages and photos so they know how their pet is doing while they’re away.
About: I have such a genuine love for animals, they bring us so much happiness and it would be my pleasure to take care of any pet. We trained guide dogs as a family when I was young and I regularly look after friends and neighbours pets. I don’t have my own dog yet as I want to be fully settled before making the commitment that is needed, however this is a great way for me to spend time with dogs before then and help people out whilst doing that. I am happy with any breed or type of dog, am psychically fit myself and love long walks. I am waiting to begin a new job so I am free a lot of the time, lots of time for long walks and looking after pets. I treat pets like family, I love dogs so much and can read their body language well. They entertain me as much as I’ll entertain them!

“Nicola and her family were just fantastic. Branston loved staying with them and the family loved having him. Nicola is a very caring person and loves dogs. Nicola also sends lots of doggy updates and pics and knowing our dog was being well looked after just meant we could enjoy our break without worrying.”
“I cannot fault Helena's care of our corgi, Wolfie, when we left him with her overnight. She was most efficient with her organization, took pains to get to know him beforehand and sent us lots of pictures and messages about how he was getting on. She was happy to administer his eye ointment and gave him several walks. He came back full of beans and had obviously been well looked after. We would have no hesitation in placing him with her again. Julia”
“What a find Natalie is. Truly a star sitter. Took care of my little man so well. Sent me lots of pictures and updates. I could see my from them and Natalie's updates, he was having a whale of a time. Slotted into their life and was treated like one of the family. I can't praise her enough for her kindness and at short notice too.”
“Alline and her family looked after Freddie for us whilst we were at a wedding in the area. He had such a wonderful time, and we received regular pictures and videos of him on beautiful walks and having lots of fun at home, which was so reassuring! Freddie came home with a little toy and some really touching letters from her children - what a wonderful family 🥰 We wouldn’t hesitate to use Alline again and would 100% recommend her for dog sitting. Thank you so much!”
“Joanna and her family were so perfect with my boy! It was his birthday while I was away and she reassured me every single day with texts and piccies and on his 15th birthday she sent photos of him devouring his birthday cupcake and getting extra cuddles, so spoilt hahah! Thanks a million for all the love and care that went into looking after him, i appreciate it so much - we can’t wait to be back xxx”

“Elton had a great time staying with Pedro and his family. He was well cared for and we were updated with how he was getting on. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Pedro. Thanks so much.”
“Yasmin is a fantastic choice to look after your doggos! My two dogs stayed with her for a week, but we first had a quick meet-up a few weeks beforehand so they (and I) could get to know her. When I dropped them off for their stay, it was clear she’d already made a great impression — they were so excited to see her again! There were no issues at all during their stay. Yasmin kept in touch throughout the week with a lovely stream of photos and updates from their various adventures — both around her flat and on their walks around the racecourse — which was so reassuring. When I picked them up, both Nova (a medium-sized Labradoodle) and Roxy (a small Cockapoo) were happy, healthy, freshly bathed, well-fed, and delightfully exhausted after a week of walks, pampering, and cuddles. Thank you, Yasmin — from me, Nova, and Roxy! 🐾”
“Jess was incredible with our 2 mini dachshunds, she was incredibly active with both of them. They came home very happy boys! Looks of updates and chats sent through during the stay, we felt totally relaxed this being our first time leaving them with anyone they didn’t know. We will defo be using her again ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Recommend to anyone!”
“It was difficult for us to leave our baby for a few days but we definitely found the right person to look after her. Jess sent through photos and videos of Bella playing with her dogs, and by the looks of it she didn’t miss us! We are very happy to leave Bella with Jess in the future and can’t thank her enough for taking such good care of her. Would highly recommend Jess to anyone looking for a dog sitter!”
“These guys are great and we will be definitely be using them again. They were always in touch and sending us pics and videos of our dog whilst he was with them. Our dog had a lovely time and was very happy.”
“Eliot and his partner were fantastic hosts for our dog Ffinn. They were vary caring and understanding of his needs, especially during a period of very hot weather and exercised him as we wished. We particularly liked the narrative and photos that Eliot sent us daily as it reassured us that Ffinn was doing well. When we collected Ffinn, it was clear that he had enjoyed his stay, he was comfortable in Eliot's house but still pleased to see us. Overall, I would highly recommend Eliot and his partner.”
“Lucie had a lovely time with Oliver and Holly, they looked after her so well. They certainly are experienced at responding to individual dogs needs, Lucie is a more mature dog! And they took extra care with making her comfortable in the heatwave, she loved the ice creams! Thank you so much for having her, we will definitely like you to look after again.”

I’m patient, gentle and have lots of cuddles and time to give , and I know every pet is unique.

I have a flexible schedule as I work from home , which allows me to provide regular visits, walks and quality one-to-one time with your pet rather than rushing between appointments. I understand how important it is to keep pets in their usual routine, and I’ll do my best to follow their normal feeding, exercise and sleeping schedule to help them feel relaxed and secure.

About: A dog loving hooman who just can't get enough of the little rascals. A dog photographer recently moved from Anglesey to Berkshire with experience in owning my own dogs from Mastiffs to Doberman, and mostly rescues. Some absolute terrors in need of full time affection and training. I enjoy looking after dogs and learning about the personalities of each breed. I have gone through extensive (and very expensive) dog behaviousral training for previous rescue dogs over the years and spend a lot of time leanring about training techniques through well known online trainers. I find the different techniques interesting from trainer to trainer and enjoy training dogs as directed by owners. I'm happy walking an absolute nightmare large breed (ahem Doberman) to doing tricks with a well trained Collie off the lead. Always following the rules set by the owner. I have three dog loving children, age 5-11, who all want a dog, so also enjoy the walks, training and cuddles offered. They are well versed in approaching dogs carefully and not overcrowding etc. If you need a good friendly, safe location for you dog then give me a shout. We also have a fantastic woodland at the rear of the house, perfect for short or long walks without needing to drive to a dog park. Also have a good sized garden with 6ft fence perimeter set on a private housing estate. I am a photographer and due to recently moving to the area, don;t have too much of a busy schedule. I also work from home most of the time. So, I am generally at home Mon-Fri. As mentioned, I have a fab walking area nearby, a good sized garden, and I can follow guidelines set by the owner. Crating, leaving alone, short walks/long walks, whatever you require.
