“Over the last three years Sam H & his partner Laura R have both been great with caring for our 7 years old JRT - they regularly dog sit for periods of 3-4 consecutive days. “Bertie” loves visiting them! Their rear garden is dog secure…. No issues in recommending for dog care.”


8. Daniel P.

“Dan and Nali got on with each other from the start. Dan arrived when booked, and looked after Nali as we’d asked - including playing with him in the house, as Nali doesn’t “do wet” and refused to stay in the garden! We’re planning to use Dan again, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Dan to other owners, as he obviously has an understanding of a dogs needs.”

About: I have always loved animals. My grandparents used to have a farm so I have experience with lots of animals. I used to keep many pets as a child. We have a four year old dog-friendly Pomeranian girl called Stella so I can ONLY help look after small or medium-sized dog breeds either female or neutered male who are friendlly with toy breeds. I work part-time in a nursery 3 days a week and have weekends, Mondays and Fridays off so I could give the dog my full attention then. My husband works from home so he can take care of the dogs when I am at work. We own a 4 bedroom detached house with a good size garden near a large park. I have two teenaged children and they love animals and long walks. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Kind regards, Marketa My husband works from home on the days that I work, so my dog and your dog would never be left alone for more than few hours at a time when my husband needs to go shopping for example. We have a fenced, good sized garden and 4 bedroom detached spacious home and a teenage children who adore animals and help with dog walking.

13. Tashana S.
“Dear Rover.com Tashana has worked for me particularly when I’m away due to work or away on holiday. Tashana has a natural love for dogs and works very well with my pet. I have a Staffordshire bull terrier who is ultra friendly and a little excitable however Tashana was able to gather trust with some simple discipline exercises which helped to keep the dog walking experience healthy for both parties. Tashana has always been reliable, trustworthy and professional in her outlook when working with my dog, which is always important to me. On the whole I would always recommend Tashana to any of my friends if dog walking services are required . Many thanks Lorna Francis”

20. Megan W.
“Megan looked after our two dogs, a 3 legged anxious rescue Saluki & a Jack Russell for 9 nights when we went on holiday earlier this month. Prior to us going away she visited the dogs at our house twice to get to know them & go through their routine. She stayed at our house for the 9 nights and provided us with daily updates & photos of the dogs. We were away over firework night & she was amazing reassuring them both & cuddling them. The dogs were looked after so well in that they ignored us when back as missed Megan lots & it was lovely to come home to such a clean & tidy house. We will definitely use Megan again as it was lovely to relax on holiday knowing the dogs were being looked after so well”
