“My girls didn’t even hesitate when Georgina opened the door to them, they ran straight in and made themselves at home, the best home setting I could wish for for them. We were updated with how things were going throughout the stay and I wasn’t worried for a minute. Georgina and her family are the only people we want the girls to go to when we go away. Thank you”
“Kirsten did a great job looking after Jake while we were away. He seemed very happy when we picked him up and it was nice to get photos and updates while we were away. 😀”
“Rachel was very good with Milo was my first time leaving him with someone else overnight and she kept me updated and adored him 🥺I would highly recommend her to anybody even someone who gets nervous he’s come home very happy and cheerful ❤️will 100% go back”
“I highly rate Alix for looking after your little pet. Alix made me feel so comfortable straight away and the communication was the best. The rates you pay are so decent compared to everyone else. Alix also helped me out last minute I had been let down and It was sorted in 5 mins with Alix. Thank you so much again!!! We will be back 🩷”
“I can not thank Mark and Helen enough. I was nervous about leaving Lola although she has been with home boarding before it was her first time with them. I had no need to worry Lola was cared for and looked after as it was there own dog. Plenty of updates throughout Lolas stay I would definitely recommend Mark and will definitely be using there services again. Thank you Mark and Helen for looking after Lola.”
“Ella is AMAZING. It was our first time leaving our 5 month old collie and we were quite worried about how he would adjust seeing as always had at least one of us around. Ella put our minds at ease straight away. She sent lots of updates and photos throughout each day to show how Sven was getting on and went over and above to make sure that his experiences was as enriching as possible. She even went out of her way to help him overcome his fears of ponies (without us even asking) and teach him some new tricks. We know that Sven can be a handful at times and it sounds like he was somewhat hyper for most of his stay but Ella was very understanding. She's extremely professional and knowledgeable, and gave us lots of great tips that we'll be using on Sven's training going forward. She was also very accommodating when our flight was delayed and we had collect him a bit later than originally agreed. Thank you Ella and Pita!!”
“Willow had a lovely time with Beth and Dan and their red fox lab Darcy. Willow is a very bouncy 5 month old working cocker spaniel and I was concerned she would be too annoying. However, it seems that Darcy and Willow had a lovely time playing and the photos and videos they sent showed willow looking quite calm at times which is rare! Beth and Dan have had lots of experience with many breeds of dogs and put my mind at ease when we visited for a meet and greet. I would happily have Willow stay with them again as I know she’d have a great time.”
“I was a little nervous about leaving Alfie but Michaela put me at ease straight away. We did a little meet and greet before the weekend and she kept me updated throughout his stay. Alfie has found a new best friend. I will be booking in again.”
“Sarah was amazing with our dog . So comforting knowing that he would be well looked after, with long walks, playtime and cuddles. Sarah kept me updated with photos which was brilliant . He came back very happy ! Would not hesitate to leave him Again with Sarah”
“Dominika and Adam were fantastic. Great communication before and during our dog’s stay with them. Lola seems to have had a great time there and nothing was too much trouble for them. Highly recommend!”
“Michael and his lovely wife were wonderful, to the point my dog, Mabel, didn't want to leave! She was very at home with their lovely dog also, in fact they were quite similar and got on really well, so that was an extra bonus. Nothing was too much trouble and I got regular photo updates. I felt very relaxed knowing Mabel was being very well cared for while we were on holiday. It was definitely a home away from home environment, which is exactly what I was after. I would absolutely recommend!”
“A very warm welcome to help Hazel settle in - she clearly had a wonderful time and was very much treated as one of the family. I know she’s looking forward to her next stay!”
About: I had a rescue labrador for 10 years and am now keen to help look after other doggos. I have worked in animal rescue centres and been trained on doggie first aid. I'm very calm and gentle with animals, and will be a responsible care giver for your beloved canine. I work from home half-days on Fridays with flexible hours, and am generally free on weekends. I'm very flexible around timing and happy to work around your pet's needs. We have a fenced-in garden and live on a quiet street just off the canal path and near several great fields and walks. Can provide dog beds and are flexible on whether dogs are allowed on furniture.
“We had no concerns at all leaving Anthea with Louise. Louise is a natural with dogs and we could instantly tell that Anthea would be treated like one of the family during her stay. We received lots of photos and messages and Louise asked us lots of questions to ensure she gave Anthea the best care possible. We will definitely book on with Louise next time we go away.”
“Tango enjoyed his stay, and was noticeably happy on arrival and when we picked him up. He was played with, walked and had plenty of attention. I was updated everyday, low detail but was away abroad, so it was appreciated! Will use again!”
“Kell deserves five stars, a medal, and possibly honorary dog status after his week with Cassie. He and his family clearly treated her like one of their own — she came back happy, well-fed, and with the unmistakable air of a dog who’s been on a better holiday than her owner. Plenty of walks, lots of care, and (judging by her contented expression) zero complaints from the guest of honour. Honestly, I’m not entirely sure she wanted to come home. Would absolutely trust Kell again — though I suspect Cassie may try to rebook herself first.”

“We have left our cat with this pet sitter twice now, and both experiences have been excellent. She is very kind, caring, and reliable. She followed all of our instructions carefully and made sure our cat was well looked after and comfortable. It gave us great peace of mind knowing our cat was in such good hands. We would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter.”
“Georgia was perfect - sent lots of photos and spent time playing with and getting to know our two cats, we could relax on our trip away knowing they were in good hands! Would 100% recommend / use again”
“This was our first time using the services of a cat sitter and Jayme's updates and photos were fantastic. Our cat bonded with her really well and looked happy in the pictures. Total peace of mind. Will definitely be booking Jayme whenever we are away”
“Sarah looked after my cats with lots of care and attention. Although one of them was sick whilst she was looking after them, she dealt with it and let me know straight away so I wasn’t worried at all. Really fantastic and I would recommend to anyone!”
“We cannot say enough good things about Ella! We had a meet and greet where we took the time to understand our routine, home, training and feeding schedules. We have just had our first booked session and could not be happier. Our puppy has separation anxiety, is on an awkward diet and I’m super fussy about who looks after her! So we’re not an easy booking. But within 2 minutes our puppy was calmly and happily playing and training with Ella. She immediately responded well to Ella’s extremely calm and patient nature and was totally content with her. This is a big deal as she’s a lockdown puppy and can be hesitant with new people. We’re looking forward to booking Ella again and feel so lucky to have found someone so kind to look after our puppy.”
“Lily came round to take care of our two cats whilst we were away. Lily has been brilliant - quick to respond to any query I had (first time Rover user!), has kept me updated the whole time with feedback and photos. I wouldn’t hesitate to ask Lily to look after our cats again in the future! ☺️”
“Christine was brilliant at looking after our cats over Christmas. She was very prompt with her timings and went above & beyond to make sure our cats were well looked after. When we got home, the cats were both very happy. Thank you, Christine :) We will definitely be calling on Christine again if we need a sitter for the cats!”
About: I have been around cats all of my life, and continue to have a super soft spot for them. My partner's cat Frankie is a big ball of fluff, and loves a belly rub! One of our childhood (three-legged) cats, Chester, was one of a kind, and despite his disability, still managed to bring home the occasional rabbit as a treat for us all! My parents have recently lost their two elderly cats, and they leave such a hole in the family, so I know just how much they mean.
“Fay did a great job looking after Mokosz during her drop-in visits. She kept me updated, sent photos and a detailed report from both visits, which was really reassuring. Mokosz was calm and happy when I got back home, and it was clear she had been well looked after. Fay followed all instructions perfectly and even made thoughtful decisions where needed. I’d definitely be happy to book with her again. Highly recommended!”
“Maisie stepped in to cover Odie's usual sitter and everything went seamlessly. Odie seems to have taken to her very well (he is a good judge of character 🤭) and he was nice and calm when I got home. It's so good to find someone who is reliable and happy to spend time with him.”
About: I have not personally had cats , but I always enjoy their company as well as playing with them. I have lived with cats but not personally owned them I am always willing to learn and adapt.
About: I have owned dogs of many breeds for over 30yrs and board dogs of all breeds through family and friends. As I no longer have my own dog this is the perfect balance for me to still have dogs in my life I currently work full time from home with a very flexible schedule, your dog would have a home from home experience and I will follow any routine you require I have an enclosed fenced and secure garden, there is a field very close by for walking and the dog will be allowed the freedom to use my home as its own
“This was for the first time I use Rover and chose Artur based on his reviews and never regret the decision I've made. Artur explained the all process, replied very promptly and received updates about my Harvey daily. I do highly recommend him, and I know I can count on him when I need. Thank you!”
About: Hi! I have nearly 10 years of experience working with and caring for rescue animals through both volunteering and professional roles. Having grown up surrounded by cats and dogs, I’ve developed a lifelong passion for animals and providing the highest standard of care. I understand that every cat is unique, so I tailor my care to their individual personality and needs. Whether your cat is confident and sociable, shy and nervous, elderly, recovering from illness or surgery, or requires medication, I aim to maintain their normal routine and provide a calm, stress-free experience while you’re away. My experience includes caring for cats of all ages and temperaments, including rescue cats, nervous cats, multi-cat households, and cats that prefer minimal interaction. I’m confident recognising feline body language and respecting each cat’s boundaries, ensuring they feel safe and comfortable in their own environment. I am also able to administer oral medication or medication given in food (no injections). As cats are generally happiest in familiar surroundings, all cat sitting takes place in your home, where I can provide feeding, litter tray cleaning, playtime, enrichment, companionship, and regular welfare checks. Alongside Rover, I also run my own pet care business. While my Rover calendar may show availability, some time slots may already be booked by existing private clients. I always keep my calendar as up to date as possible and will confirm availability promptly once a request is made. I am dedicated to ensuring every cat feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for, giving owners complete peace of mind while they are away.

“Kristen is lovely and always takes good care of Coco, always communicates well and is kind and flexible. Coco always comes home happy and gets on with Kristens 2x doggies too! Will book again. Thank you”
About: Hi, my name is Alix. I am 23 years old and live in a ground floor flat in matson, Gloucester. I have 2 children, 3&5 years old. I also have 4 cats who have been the first encounter for many dogs which I am happy to do with the owner here if your dog hasn’t been around cats before. I also understand that sometimes dogs and cats aren’t the best of friends so I’m happy to keep them separate if needed. I unfortunately don’t currently drive so you would need to bring your pooch to me. Caring for dogs is a passion for me. I took a break from dog boarding for a while but now on the hunt to make more doggy friends and help out owners! I have been dog boarding for 3 years now and cared for dogs of all ages. My children are used to dogs & my partner has 2 Staffordshire bull terriers at his mum’s who my children see regularly. I also have a jack russel and a jug at my mum’s who I absolutely adore and grew up with. I have my own fenced garden and will definitely take your pooch on walks at our local field! Please get in touch if you’re interested. :).. I’m currently unemployed so always at home. Monday & friday I do school pick up and drop off, however if your dog isn’t very good with being alone I can bring them along or I can find someone else to take my daughter to school on the odd occasion if need be of the 2 days I usually do and I will stay home to ensure your dog isn’t left alone. As long as i have notice i can ensure we’re home all day if need be for your dogs anxiety I am in a ground floor flat, I have my own fenced garden and a field nearby which dogs absolutely love to go and have a run around. I keep dogs on lead for safety. Dogs will be welcome to come on the furniture and sleep in the bed unless the owner requests otherwise.
“Our experience with Beth and Dan was perfect in every sense. Great comms throughout, offered an introduction of our Ewok with their dog Darcy (who is an angel), and made Ewok feel utterly spoiled. She loved her time there, and we'll re-book again in a heartbeat.”
“My dog had a wonderful time with Kay and her lovely dog, Monty. I was very pleased with the care and attention that Stella received and all the photos that Kay sent me! I will definitely book again.”
About: I have a deep love for animals of all shapes and sizes. Having grown up with cats, dogs and other pets such as my sake named Sydney, it taught me how to handle the unique personalities and needs of each pet. I’ve also volunteered at a local rescue centre where I gain valuable skills in managing anxious and vulnerable dogs. I believe in providing your pets with the same care, love and patience that I give my own. My partner and I are homeowner locally but we have no pets here and we miss not having a pet like we both grew up with. My partner works from home on a flexible schedule to help and support pets and their owners and I look forward to getting time around some fury friends. I have a safe and secure flat with a small outside space that I could care for your pet in. Within your own home I would ensure I play by your rules and your pets to ensure a safe secure environment. I have walked rescue dogs before mostly on leads and I would ensure your pets are well secured before opening doors. When out I’d be cautious of animals and people to ensure your pet safety and their pets. I would be led by your routine and rules and support your pet through any requirements they have.
About: I’ve cared for animals for as long as I can remember, growing up around both dogs and cats and regularly helping friends, neighbours and family with their pets from a young age. Looking after animals has always come naturally to me, and my love for them was especially inspired by my own dog, Toby. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine and needs, and I always take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable and loved while in my care. Whether it’s energetic walks, puppy visits, companionship, feeding routines or quiet cuddle time, I genuinely treat every pet like family. I’m DBS checked, fully insured and Level 2 Canine First Aid trained, so owners can feel confident that their pets are in safe and caring hands. I also provide regular photo and video updates for extra peace of mind. 🐾 I currently support my partner in running his business, which gives me plenty of flexibility and time throughout the week to provide attentive, loving care for your pets. I’m available for boarding at weekends and on weekdays after 4pm, and I’m also available for walks, drop-ins, companionship visits and overnight care depending on your needs. I love spending quality time with animals, whether that’s adventures and playtime outdoors, calm companionship, cuddles on the sofa or helping nervous pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. Your pet’s safety, happiness and comfort will always be my top priority, whether caring for them in my home or in the comfort of their own familiar environment. I understand that many pets feel most relaxed in their own home and routine, so I always aim to provide calm, loving and attentive care that keeps them feeling safe, settled and happy while you’re away. I’m well versed with local walking spots, parks and safe enriching areas for dogs to explore, including a beautiful arboretum right on my doorstep, helping make every walk both stimulating and enjoyable depending on your dog’s individual needs and energy levels. I am DBS checked, fully insured and Level 2 Canine First Aid trained, so owners can feel completely reassured their pets are in safe and capable hands. I’m also happy to provide regular photo and video updates throughout visits for extra peace of mind.
“Louise was absolutely amazing with our little puppy Oreo. He doesn’t like being left and she was so flexible in terms of his care to make sure he was happy. Oreo had a great time for 3 days and we are so grateful for the kindness you showed Oreo. We would highly recommend Louise to anyone.”
About: I’ve been helping friends and family look after their pets for years, and it’s always been something I’ve loved doing. Over time, I realised it was something I wanted to do more often — not just for those I know, but for anyone who needs a caring, reliable place for their dog to stay. I try to make our space feel as relaxed and welcoming as possible — a true home away from home. There are cosy beds dotted around the house, and every dog is free to sleep wherever they feel most comfortable, or we can follow your usual routine if you have one. We enjoy daily walks, plenty of playtime, mental stimulation with puzzles, and of course, lots of cuddles. From time to time, we book enclosed fields so your pup can safely run and explore off-lead. Whether it’s a short stay or a longer visit, your dog will be cared for just like one of our own — with love, attention, and a wagging tail guaranteed. I currently work with dogs all through the week with walking, training support, doggy day care and sitting so this is what i do. Depending on the needs of your fur baby depends on how I work my week to be either around them or fully inclusive of them. They are more then welcome to join in on group walks, have fun and socialise with others or to be walked solo and have one on one time with me. Animals dont have a one size fits all, I want to make them feel as comfortable as possible so can tailor things to suit. Your loved one fits into our home in what ever way fits their personality. What ever makes them feel most comfortable and helps you to relax whilst away.
About: I have many years of experience with dogs, we had dogs in our family since I was a child. My brother was a police dog handler for many years which helped me learn how to train dogs. So if you are struggling with your puppy I can help with that. I mostly work from home as I am self employed. My availability is very flexible and I can usually be available at short notice too I have a house with an enclosed garden and a minutes walk from a large park. I also have a small well behaved older jack Russel and can accommodate a crate if required
“Bethany was excellent. Phoebe settled with her straight away. She sent photos of her whilst out on their walk and when collecting Phoebe I’m sure she’d have been happy to stay. Can’t recommend Bethany enough. Thanks again, Phoebe & Karis”
“Izabela was brilliant. She is super friendly, helpful and my dogs had a fantastic time. She responded quickly to my last minute request and immediately put me at ease when we met. My dogs had a lovely time and slept all the way home. I would 100% recommend Izabella and hope to meet her again.”
About: As a rugby player, I adore being active in all walks of weather. Regardless of the rain, I can guarantee that your dog will have a playdate it will want to last forever! I have experience walking / caring for larger breeds like German Shepards, aswell as active, crazy fuzz balls like staffies. I also had a hamster, gecko and rabbits growing up, meaning ive pretty much experienced it all from reptiles to furry friends. Now I am back at university, I’ll have time from 10.30am Monday, Wed and Friday for walking, dropping in or seeing your pets! If i am staying as a house sitter, I can work my schedule around your pet to make sure they are kept company for the entire day / night! ( excluding the 3 hours of training in the morning- i have no other committments!!) I have a fenced, fully enclosed medium garden, with loads of fields / woodland walks nearby via foot or car, meaning there are endless opportunities for walks

About: I earned money in my local neighbourhood through caring for dogs from regular drops in to holiday cover/house sitting. We have always had a family dog who I have loved caring for. This has taken us from young puppies to elderly dogs. I am currently working to self finance my uni degree in sports science. I am fairly flexible with scheduling so should be able to work around you I like to meet the owners and pet to understand what the owner wants and to make the dog feel comfortable and know what he or she likes or dislikes.
“David was professional and efficient as well as being very friendly. Lola liked him very much and so did I. I have used him twice now and he was punctual on both occasions. Sat in my house with Lola for a day and left everything clean and tidy as he found it. I will have no hesitation in using him again.”
About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life and have looked after friends and family dogs too. I love going for long walks and having a pet to come along with me! My parents have 2 dogs that I take for walks all the time! I work full time but am available from 5 pm most days and most weekends all day. I am happy to find out when suits you and work around your schedules as well. I am happy to collect and take your dog in my car to go for nice long walks and always make sure to properly look after them whenever we go
About: I've been a pet lover since I was a child. In my family home, we always had some pets, unfortunately, now I live in a rented property where I'm not allowed to have any pets. This is the main reason why I'm looking after pets other people. Extra money is just an added benefit. For many years I'm the person who been asked by my friends like a first to stay at their homes and look after their pets or dogs walking. Usually, I'm catching quickly good contact with pets. I love traveling and hiking. Own a car and don't mind taking a dog to my car and driving to nice surroundings for a walk. Pictures and short movies from pets look after are available after request. Speaking languages: english, polish I'm working full time on shift pattern with many days off. If your needs fit my time off I can spend a lot of time with your pets. I'm clean and tidy person. I always leave the place as I found it. I stick to all instructions witch you left me about look after your pets.
“Orla very kindly agreed to walk Morrigan at quite short notice as I had a back injury. She was on time and professional and Morrigan returned very happy and tired out. I would happily recommend Orla to anyone.”
“Amber was amazing. She brought water with her on the dog walks and even took the dogs out earlier during the UK heatwave while we were away on holiday, to make sure they stayed safe and comfortable. We would definitely book Amber again.”
About: What sets me apart as a dog sitter is that I’ve truly lived a life surrounded by dogs — all breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments. From playful puppies to gentle seniors, I’ve cared for them all, and each one has taught me something new about patience, communication, and unconditional love. I understand that every dog is unique — some need extra time to warm up, some need to burn off tons of energy, and others just want a calm lap and some quiet company. I’m confident handling everything from crate training and leash manners to giving meds or helping older dogs with mobility issues. Because I’ve had dogs my whole life, this kind of care is second nature to me. Beyond the basics, I focus on building trust with each dog so they feel safe, secure, and loved while you’re away. It’s not just about keeping them fed — it’s about making sure they’re happy and emotionally cared for too. Pet care is a big part of my everyday life — it’s not just something I do, it’s part of who I am! I work weekdays from 9 to 4, so I plan my pet care around that schedule. Mornings and evenings are dedicated to walks, feeding, playtime, and cuddles, and I’m available for pet sitting visits before or after work, as well as on weekends. Since I already care for my own dogs, cats, chickens, ducks, and fish, animal care is part of my daily rhythm — it’s second nature. I’m used to juggling different needs and routines, and I love spending that time connecting with animals and making sure they’re happy, healthy, and comfortable In my own home, pet care is woven into my daily routine — from feeding and cleaning to walks, playtime, and lots of love. With dogs, cats, chickens, ducks, and fish under one roof (or in the yard!), I’m experienced in managing different needs and personalities. I make sure every animal gets the right balance of structure, attention, and comfort. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I take the time to learn their likes, quirks, and schedules — whether that’s giving a shy cat space, keeping a playful pup entertained, or making sure medications are given on time. I treat every home with respect and every pet like they’re part of my own animal family.
About: I have owned dogs of many breeds for over 30yrs and board dogs of all breeds through family and friends. As I no longer have my own dog this is the perfect balance for me to still have dogs in my life I currently work full time from home with a very flexible schedule, your dog would have a home from home experience and I will follow any routine you require I have an enclosed fenced and secure garden, there is a field very close by for walking and the dog will be allowed the freedom to use my home as its own
About: I have been around animals all of my life, from dogs and cats, to bearded dragons, mice, gerbils, budgies and fish! There's nothing more I love than getting out in the fresh air with the pup and going off to explore. My dog Hollie is a Romanian rescue, who we've had since she was 6 months old (she's now 6). She is full of beans, absolutely adores her older bro's, and likes nothing more than to snuggle up on the sofa after a stroll down the canal path. I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages and sizes. I currently work from home (but have flexible hours), so have total flexibility over visits, walks and playtime with your furry pals! At present I have up to 4 hours per day to cater for this, but will have additional availability over the summer months. I'm also available over most of the weekend. I have a large enclosed garden at home, but am lucky to be close to lots of open fields (and several secure fields, if required). Whether a walk, or a home visit, your pets safety and wellbeing will always my main priority.
About: Hi! I have nearly 10 years of experience working with and caring for rescue dogs, through both volunteering and professional roles in rescues. Having grown up surrounded by cats and dogs, I’ve developed a lifelong passion for animals and their wellbeing. I tailor every walk to your dog’s individual needs—whether it’s a gentle stroll for an elderly pup or one recovering from surgery, energetic playtime for puppies, or simply providing a safe and loving environment while you’re away. (Please note: pet sitting will be in your home, as I have a nervous dog of my own who needs space.) My skills include reading dog body language and caring for dogs with a wide range of temperaments—whether nervous, excitable, anxious, or reactive. I’m confident supporting dogs with behavioural needs such as reactivity toward other dogs, prey drive, and I’m happy to use a muzzle when required. I also have experience helping dogs recover after surgery, providing enrichment suited to their age and breed, and ensuring exercise is always appropriate for their individual needs. In addition, I’m able to administer oral medication or meds given in food (no injections). I’m dedicated to making sure every pet feels cared for, comfortable, and happy. Alongside Rover, I also run my own pet care business. While my Rover calendar may show availability, some time slots may already be booked by existing private clients. I always keep my calendar as up to date as possible and will confirm availability promptly once a request is made. I’m available most days, mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I’ll happily fit walks or visits around your pet’s usual routine to keep them settled and happy Your pet’s safety comes first. I respect your home, follow instructions closely, secure environments, and provide gentle, attentive care so pets feel safe and happy.

I have cared for friends and family’s dogs and cats many times, this includes, walking, washing, feeding and of course fussing!!!

About: I’ve loved animals my whole life—especially dogs and cats—and have been caring for them on and off since childhood. As a Rover user myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet, and I aim to provide that same peace of mind to every owner I work with. I’ve cared for a range of breeds including German Shepherds, Staffies, and Labradors, and I’m comfortable handling different temperaments, sizes, and energy levels. Whether your pet needs playtime, walks, or just some extra love and attention, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Currently, I'm working shifts. So plenty of availability to help you and your pets when needed. I am very close to Gloucester City centre. I prefer to care for pets in their own home environment, as it’s usually more familiar and comfortable for them, helping to reduce stress while you’re away. I’m happy to travel and keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible.

“My girls didn’t even hesitate when Georgina opened the door to them, they ran straight in and made themselves at home, the best home setting I could wish for for them. We were updated with how things were going throughout the stay and I wasn’t worried for a minute. Georgina and her family are the only people we want the girls to go to when we go away. Thank you”
“Kirsten did a great job looking after Jake while we were away. He seemed very happy when we picked him up and it was nice to get photos and updates while we were away. 😀”
“Rachel was very good with Milo was my first time leaving him with someone else overnight and she kept me updated and adored him 🥺I would highly recommend her to anybody even someone who gets nervous he’s come home very happy and cheerful ❤️will 100% go back”
“I highly rate Alix for looking after your little pet. Alix made me feel so comfortable straight away and the communication was the best. The rates you pay are so decent compared to everyone else. Alix also helped me out last minute I had been let down and It was sorted in 5 mins with Alix. Thank you so much again!!! We will be back 🩷”
“Ella is AMAZING. It was our first time leaving our 5 month old collie and we were quite worried about how he would adjust seeing as always had at least one of us around. Ella put our minds at ease straight away. She sent lots of updates and photos throughout each day to show how Sven was getting on and went over and above to make sure that his experiences was as enriching as possible. She even went out of her way to help him overcome his fears of ponies (without us even asking) and teach him some new tricks. We know that Sven can be a handful at times and it sounds like he was somewhat hyper for most of his stay but Ella was very understanding. She's extremely professional and knowledgeable, and gave us lots of great tips that we'll be using on Sven's training going forward. She was also very accommodating when our flight was delayed and we had collect him a bit later than originally agreed. Thank you Ella and Pita!!”
“Willow had a lovely time with Beth and Dan and their red fox lab Darcy. Willow is a very bouncy 5 month old working cocker spaniel and I was concerned she would be too annoying. However, it seems that Darcy and Willow had a lovely time playing and the photos and videos they sent showed willow looking quite calm at times which is rare! Beth and Dan have had lots of experience with many breeds of dogs and put my mind at ease when we visited for a meet and greet. I would happily have Willow stay with them again as I know she’d have a great time.”
“Michael and his lovely wife were wonderful, to the point my dog, Mabel, didn't want to leave! She was very at home with their lovely dog also, in fact they were quite similar and got on really well, so that was an extra bonus. Nothing was too much trouble and I got regular photo updates. I felt very relaxed knowing Mabel was being very well cared for while we were on holiday. It was definitely a home away from home environment, which is exactly what I was after. I would absolutely recommend!”
“A very warm welcome to help Hazel settle in - she clearly had a wonderful time and was very much treated as one of the family. I know she’s looking forward to her next stay!”
About: I had a rescue labrador for 10 years and am now keen to help look after other doggos. I have worked in animal rescue centres and been trained on doggie first aid. I'm very calm and gentle with animals, and will be a responsible care giver for your beloved canine. I work from home half-days on Fridays with flexible hours, and am generally free on weekends. I'm very flexible around timing and happy to work around your pet's needs. We have a fenced-in garden and live on a quiet street just off the canal path and near several great fields and walks. Can provide dog beds and are flexible on whether dogs are allowed on furniture.
“Tango enjoyed his stay, and was noticeably happy on arrival and when we picked him up. He was played with, walked and had plenty of attention. I was updated everyday, low detail but was away abroad, so it was appreciated! Will use again!”
“Kell deserves five stars, a medal, and possibly honorary dog status after his week with Cassie. He and his family clearly treated her like one of their own — she came back happy, well-fed, and with the unmistakable air of a dog who’s been on a better holiday than her owner. Plenty of walks, lots of care, and (judging by her contented expression) zero complaints from the guest of honour. Honestly, I’m not entirely sure she wanted to come home. Would absolutely trust Kell again — though I suspect Cassie may try to rebook herself first.”
“Piper had a good 3 week stay with Daniel. We received updates throughout, which really put our minds at ease, and by all accounts she was very well looked after. When she was collected happy and content we’d definitely recommend Daniel and would happily book again!”
“Daniela was so lovely and warm, Luka was immediately at ease in her home and I was very happy leaving him in her care. She sent me updates and photos and Luka looked super relaxed and happy in them! He came home very reluctantly after clearly having a great time. Would not hesitate to recommend her :)”
“Nala had a wonderful stay with Coraley and her family. I’m a big worrier when it comes to leaving Nala and I was really impressed with how comfortable Coraley made me feel and the amount of updates I got of Nala whilst she was with them. Will definitely use again and couldn’t recommend Coraley anymore!”
“Amazing - thank you so much Roy for looking after Alfie. Really appreciated how you were able to look after him at really short notice. Felt very confident leaving him with you knowing that you would take care of him especially as he can be reactive and anxious. Think he enjoyed his time with you, especially the 3 walks a day - totally spoiled him :-)”
