“Kate and her family were absolutely wonderful with Poppy! Since Kate works from home, Poppy had constant company, and she loved being spoiled by Kate's partner and teenage kids. Her large garden was perfect for relaxing. Communication was excellent throughout the stay—highly recommend Kate for anyone looking for a loving home environment!”
“Natalie was absolutely lovely and we had total confidence in her from the outset. She came to meet Ted a few days before he stayed with her and took the trouble to get to know him She was always quick to respond, and kept us updated with photos throughout his stay. Ted clearly had a lovely time with her and even came home with some new toys! We highly recommend her.”

“Snacks had a lovely time staying with Bonita for the night! She was fantastic at communicating in the lead-up, asking all the right questions and showing she really knows dogs well. During his stay she sent us great updates and photos of him having a wonderful time.

We’d happily book with Bonita again!”

About: Have a scroll through my photo album to meet all of the happy boys & girls here at Dollhouse from play time in the large, super secure garden (as seen in the photos), to walkies in the park, and tired cuddles on the sofa, the dogs in my care will be loved like they are my own! It is important to me that as pet owers you feel completely relaxed and know your dog is being taken great care of while you are away. Your dog will be treated as part of the family and made to feel as comfortable and happy as possible on their little holiday! 🐶 I have had many dogs of my own throughout my whole life and taken care of the dogs of friends and family for many years. I am now in a position to offer my services to other people full time. I work from home full time so will always be here with your dog. They will get regular walks in the local parks, and I have a nice big secure garden for them to play in too. Being with me will feel like a home from home for your dog, they will be loved and cared for as I do for my own. I work from home full time, the dogs will be able to roam the ground floor of my home and the nice big secure garden that we have here, and keep me company in my home office! At lunch time your dog will get a long walk. Additional walks per day depending on how long your dog is here. I have a lovely big secure garden for your dog to play in. My whole home is secure due to having a dog of my own. I have a room for the dogs to be crated in if that is your preference while I am out or during the night. I can be flexible to accommodate your preferences and your dogs needs.

About: Hi, I’m Lyndsey I’ve always had such a soft spot for cats. When I was younger I had two of my own – they were so gentle and loving, and I still miss them dearly to this day. That time with them taught me just how much love and patience cats deserve, and how important it is to respect their little personalities too. I’m happy to pop in for home visits: feeding them, keeping their space clean, giving them fuss and strokes if they want it, or just sitting quietly keeping them company if they prefer their own space. I’ll stick exactly to their usual routine, whether that’s favourite snacks, playtime or sleepy spots, so they stay calm and happy while you’re away. I know how much you care about them, so I’ll send you photos and little updates whenever I’m there, so you know they’re doing just fine.
About: Over 20 years dog and cat experience, I'm reliable, loving and fit. Nurturing and playful with lots of time and attention to give to your dog. I'm a writer so have plenty of time to walk and care for pets. I find they curl up under my desk or on my lap while I work. In the summer they garden with me. I have a big home close to the coastal path with secure gates and CCTV. I provide a safe, loving, home from home stay. Dogs that I walk tend to want to stay with me! I only look after dogs exclusively from one family so the environment is peaceful and calm.
“McKenzie is our go-to cat sitter who genuinely enjoy looking after our cat. They always make sure she’s happy, well-fed, and gets plenty of playtime and cuddles. We really appreciate the regular updates and photos they send and keeps us relaxed knowing the cat is safe and happy! We 100% recommend McKenzie!”
About: I have just finished my vet degree and have experience looking after cats, mainly in a professional capacity. I enjoy learning about your cat's personality, whether they love curling up in my lap while we watch tv, or prefer to be left to their own devices, while I make sure their needs are looked after. I have a certificate in Animal Care, and now have completed a 4 year veterinary medicine course, graduating in July. Please note, while I hope my veterinary background provides some ease of mind, I am unable to provide any veterinary advice or intervention to the animals in my care.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong cat lover who has been surrounded by cats since I was born, so I understand just how important they are as members of the family. I currently have two wonderful cats of my own, Puff (4) and Inti (3), who have taught me even more about caring for different personalities, routines and needs :) I’m reliable, patient and genuinely love spending time with cats, whether that’s playing, cuddling (if they enjoy it!), or simply giving them calm companionship while you’re away. I’ll treat your cat with the same love and care that I give my own, so you can have peace of mind knowing they’re in safe and caring hands :)
“Freya was excellent! She responded very quickly and was incredibly lovely, communicative and professional throughout. She also sent pictures every visit, which was so reassuring to me while away from my kittens! I will absolutely be in touch next time we plan to go away :)”
About: Experienced rescue cat owner with four rescue cats of my own and several years volunteering within cat charities.

Prices are estimates per day for 1 dog. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for the majority of my life! I greatly miss my old English sheepdogs - Alfie and Digby, who I was lucky to have for 15 years. From training, to dog sitting, to being with them in their final days, I will never forget the memories I have with them. Aside from Alfie and Digby, I have looked after many breeds including: Poodle mixes, Labradors, Spaniels, Sharpeis, Staffies, Terriers, Dachshunds and Weimaraners I lived with Betsy the cocker spaniel for 9 months in shared accommodation and did everything from feeding, walking and taking her to the vets. I’m looking to either be in your home for safety and calm, or be the friendly face that visits them, plays with them and takes them for walks! Having looked after so many dogs, I understand the care, love and commitment they need. I live in a cottage with a third of an acre garden, perfect for dogs. The top of the garden is secure, whilst the bottom end has much lower boundaries. If your dog needs quieter stimuli, I am on very quiet road which has little traffic. I like the pups to have blankets and toys with smells from home to increase their comfort staying with me. In your home, knowing where essentials are, understanding any underlying signs of discomfort and, what to do if a situation arises are really important to me. I want your pets to feel as loved as they are by you!
About: !!!IMPORTANT: I’ll have bathroom renovations in July. If your dog(s) is sensitive to noises, please do not book! Thank you!:) Hi! I’ve had dogs and cats since I was 7 years old, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. I moved from Hungary to the UK in October 2025, and after our dog left in December, the house has felt very empty without a pet around. Although I became an engineer, I always loved spending time with animals, and back home friends often trusted me to look after their cats while they were away. I’m calm, reliable, patient, and currently have plenty of free time for walks, visits, playtime, and giving your pets lots of attention and care. I work from home full-time, so I’m available for pet care all day long. I can easily adjust to your dog’s schedule for walks, playtime, meals, and cuddles. I’m also happy to do overnight boarding or weekend stays whenever needed. I have a fully fenced yard and a safe, pet-friendly home where your dog would spend most of the time inside with me. The house is calm and secure, and I can crate your dog if needed. Playtime is always supervised in the fenced garden.
“Maria and her family looked after our dogs again for a two day stay and were wonderful at accommodating our last minute booking - much appreciated. Another great stay for our two, they had a great time :)”

About: 📍 Currently actively booking for mid August to mid September 2026 with very flexible availability 📍 Hey there, my name is Rebecca! I'm a 27 year old vet student and pet sitter. I have lots of great experience with a variety of species through my vet training and life in general! I have been involved in both the cattery and dog shelter of the Galway SPCA. I also worked closely with small mammals, and rescued my colleagues from a loose ferret once! I discovered a love of sighthounds in particular and always really enjoy working with them. I have been casually pet sitting for the past five years, until last year when I began using another app that was popular in my area. I had several regular dog visit/ walk clients - new puppies to the more mature. I am happy to do on and off-lead walking, where appropriate and safe. I will follow instructions on whatever training you are working on with your pet. I am confident administering medication. Unfortunately, I cannot accept very strong or difficult to handle dogs due to chronic back pain. I would be keen to build a trusting relationship with any pet I care for and strive for respectful and honest communication with pet owners. I give pets my full attention and aim to leave them tuckered out but happy! I send a detailed update after my visit including some photos. I'm always careful to include any concerns. ✅ Please Note: House Sitting: I am not currently staying overnight in client’s houses. This option is suitable if you would like to have me sit with your pet during the day/evening, while at work or socialising. Please get in touch to discuss! 😊 Boarding/Day Care: I live in an apartment which has a small balcony and unfenced patio space - suitable for quick potty breaks. There are lots of easily accessible nice walks in the area for longer exercise. Walks: Available to pick up/drop off and supervise visits to local secure dog paddocks. My Uni schedule varies each week but I will aim to keep my calendar as updated as possible. I am keen to build a base of regular/semi-regular clients, having recently moved back to North Somerset. There are times when I am required on-campus 9am-5pm but I do my best to be flexible. Do get in touch if there's anything you'd like to discuss - I'm more than happy to answer any queries 😁 I am always careful entering and exiting the house to prevent any escapes. I diligently use any equipment or restraint advised by owners to keep everyone safe. I always do my best to read an animals behaviour so as not to cross their boundaries and ensure everyone is as safe and happy as possible during the visit. I welcome owner advice about individual pets as they usually know their animal best!

About: Since a young age both Fra and myself have cared for animals. We both had cats and dogs in our homes since birth and have looked after them with utmost care and attention. In our adult years we have taken house sitting seriously and have cared for several homes and a variety of pets. From dogs and cats, to lizards, frogs and guineapigs, we've cared for them all. Pet care takes priority when it comes to our weekly routines. We have various jobs and hobbies, yet we are very flexible and can usually cater to the needs of the animals are the requests of the pet owner. We always take the pets care requirements into consideration. Most pets will require different attention and we make sure to provide what is required. Whether it's walking, feeding, washing or general health care, we have the experience and understanding to provide great pet care.

About: Hi, I’m Lyndsey 🐾 Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up around pets, have owned both dogs and cats over the years, and now I have my own border collie. My partner and I are both massive animal lovers, and we’ll look after yours exactly how we’d want our own looked after. I offer dog walks – plenty of time for sniffing, playing or taking it steady, whatever they like best. I also do home visits for feeding, fuss and play, plus overnight sits. I’m happy with all ages, breeds and personalities, and just as comfortable caring for cats as I am dogs. I know how worrying it is leaving your pet with someone else, so I’ll send you plenty of photos and updates to keep you in the loop. I’ll always stick to their usual routine so they stay happy and settled. Looking after and playing with my puppy Guinness is a part of my and my partner's daily routine. On Weekends & Bank Holidays we often go out for especially long walks and would love to bring another dog along with us for a friend for our dog! We have vast experience of dog walking. I understand that every animal is unique and has different needs and will care for them in a way that is best for each and everyone of them. Caring pet owners know that most pets adjust better to their owner’s absence and experience less anxiety and stress when they can remain in their home environments.
“We booked Kaci for a reoccurring walk with our dog, Bernie. She has always been punctual and Bernie seems very happy with her! She communicates with us regularly about how Bernie is and lets us know if there are anything we need to know ahead of time. Highly recommend Kate! Trustworthy Pet walker! Stars all round!”

About: I’ve been pet sitting through Rover for several years now, and have loved meeting and looking after so many peoples precious animals! I’ve cared for dogs and cats young and old, am happy dealing with their little quirks and pet peeves, and any additional needs they have too :) I currently work from home and am happy to be available in the early morning, lunch time, or after work or dinner, and will spend the day with your animal - they can and often do join me for meetings via Zoom!

I’ve taken in rescue animals from kill centres, helped to foster animals aswell, I enjoy the outdoors, and I have specialised in senior care and disabilities, having looked after senior dogs as pets myself when they don’t want to walk so far but would like to have a little stroll.

About: My background as a professional animal trainer with 10 years of hands-on experience, including working with a wide range of species means I have a deep understanding of animal behaviour and behaviour modification. This helps me read body language, prevent issues before they arise, and support pets who may be anxious, reactive, or who struggle adjusting to new environments. I place a strong emphasis on high welfare standards and kind, ethical handling. I’m patient, calm, and consistent, and I tailor my care to each animal’s individual needs. I’m comfortable supporting young animals as they learn good habits, and providing thoughtful care for senior pets who may need a slower pace or extra consideration and everything in between. Above all, I aim to make pets feel safe, understood, and relaxed while giving owners peace of mind.

It was with heavy hearts that we said goodbye to our beloved Coco 🌈, who filled our lives with joy, deepened our understanding of dogs, and forever touched our souls. We adore dogs of all shapes, sizes, and personalities, with a special place in our hearts for shy ones, drawing on our lifelong experience with dogs and cats. We’re with dogs at home all the time 😊. We do not accept large groups—instead, we carefully match and introduce only dogs that get along well and enjoy each other’s company, ensuring a calm, stress-free stay for everyone. There’s nothing we enjoy more than sharing long, joyful walks through nearby woods, parks, and forests with our guests. Our three-bedroom home offers plenty of space for your dog to feel at ease, complete with a large, securely fenced garden. Plus, we’re just steps away from the beautiful Kings Weston House and its expansive open common area—perfect for adventures and relaxation. We know how much your dog means to you, and we treat every pet as if they were our own, with the utmost care and respect. We’re flexible with timing and thoughtful about pick-up and drop-off, making the experience as smooth as possible for you and your pet. To keep you connected, we’ll send daily updates with photos, sharing the happy moments of your dog’s stay. We’d be honoured to welcome your dog into our home 😊. I provide personalised dog boarding in a small, home-like setting — maximum 5 dogs at once. Solo boarding is welcome, but please book in advance ☺️ We have a big open plan living room and kitchen area so there’s lots of space for you pet to roam free. There is also a garden out the back and Kings Weston House 5 minutes around the corner!
About: I have a wealth of experience looking after dogs of all shapes and sizes. We have always had dogs and cats in the family, and I’d love the opportunity to spend some time with yours! I currently work full time, three days from home (a two-storey flat with a generously sized walled garden). I am very into my runs and general fitness, so would be a good fit for any high energy animals. I am very attentive and considerate of the needs of any pet that comes into my home; from the moment they come into my care I will do my best to ensure they are comfortable, stress free and we’ll exercised!
About: I have owned dogs, cats, fish and birds over my life time and have some experience handing farm animals and home pets (rabbits etc) I have just completed a 2 year full time Equine Management qualification and am looking for work I am presently flexible 7 days a week during working hours. I have a car so am able to travel to you. I am in Canterbury but happy to do up to 40 minutes drive, depending on the type of care. I would look after the pets in which I am taking care of respectfully and safely, as well as to the owners home. I am happy to help with training, walks and feeding times or any other extra necessary jobs for your pet.
About: Hello everyone, I am 30 years old, I have had cats since I was 10 years old and always wanted dogs too. My boyfriend's side of the family have dogs and we love taking them out for day trips. I am currently working part-time in Marketing and work from home so your pets won’t feel lonely. I am very flexible and can adapt to your schedule. I am happy to look after your pet during the week and weekends. I currently live in a pet friendly flat in Clifton with my partner (35), right next to Victoria park and very close to Ashton Court (every pet’s paradise!) I do not own any pets and I would be able to look after a small dog or cat in my flat. I am also happy to look after any size pets at at your house or to take your dog for walks in the lovely parks around the area. I can look after a mixture of breeds and I am comfortable looking after puppies as well as dogs.
About: Friendly, reliable and experienced & based just outside of Bristol. I’m experienced and confident with a range of dogs and have walked and cared for a number of different breeds and ages. Having my own dog and struggling to find someone I’d comfortably trust her with, I empathise with owners when searching for a solution when you’re tied up with work or other commitments! I understand and can be flexible with your dog’s routine, whilst also striving to give them an exciting and stimulating walk. I’m currently working flexible hours and have a lot of free time to dedicate to walks/drop-ins and pet-sitting. Having recently started my own dog walking / dog sitting business, I have the experience and time to commit to caring for your much-loved pets. I often have more spare time in the week, but can usually accommodate weekends too if given enough time notice! I have a flat with a fenced-off decking area with access to lots of fields just over the road! I have a car so I’m able to travel to your home to care for your dog too. I’m happy to fit in with your dog’s routine and your expectations where I can.

About: Have a scroll through my photo album to meet all of the happy boys & girls here at Dollhouse from play time in the large, super secure garden (as seen in the photos), to walkies in the park, and tired cuddles on the sofa, the dogs in my care will be loved like they are my own! It is important to me that as pet owers you feel completely relaxed and know your dog is being taken great care of while you are away. Your dog will be treated as part of the family and made to feel as comfortable and happy as possible on their little holiday! 🐶 I have had many dogs of my own throughout my whole life and taken care of the dogs of friends and family for many years. I am now in a position to offer my services to other people full time. I work from home full time so will always be here with your dog. They will get regular walks in the local parks, and I have a nice big secure garden for them to play in too. Being with me will feel like a home from home for your dog, they will be loved and cared for as I do for my own. I work from home full time, the dogs will be able to roam the ground floor of my home and the nice big secure garden that we have here, and keep me company in my home office! At lunch time your dog will get a long walk. Additional walks per day depending on how long your dog is here. I have a lovely big secure garden for your dog to play in. My whole home is secure due to having a dog of my own. I have a room for the dogs to be crated in if that is your preference while I am out or during the night. I can be flexible to accommodate your preferences and your dogs needs.
“Leanne is a very personably young woman. She was cooperative in every way, i.e. with timings and communicating. Lollie was very content when she returned to me and Leanne said she'd been a good dog.”
“Tracey and Simon looked after our boy Buddy for a few days while we were away. It was a last minute booking as we'd been let down by family, so we were a little nervous as first time Rover users. Tracey and Simon put us at ease immediately. They have a real passion for dogs and were super understanding of Buddy's character and background. They made sure he was safe and loved the whole time he was there. We had daily videos and photos which we loved! Most importantly, Buddy settled in like he was part of their family and absolutely loved staying with them. We won't look anywhere else now for Buddy's holidays! We've found his people and trust them 100% with our boy. Thank you Tracey and family for loving our boy and taking such great care of him.”
“Bowie was so well looked after! Tanya kept us updated with lots of photos and messages, which gave us real peace of mind. He was happy, relaxed, and clearly had a great time when we picked him up. Thanks so much for taking such amazing care of our beagle. We’ll definitely be booking again! Nat, Pat & Bowie xx”
“Would 1000% use again and recommend. Josh sent plenty of photos and pupdates helped us know that our boy was in great hands. Thanks so much for looking after him and keeping him safe for us.”
“Mac loved his stay here, with Kylie, her lovely family, and their dog Remus. He ran in when we arrived, and Kylie updated me throughout with photos of the two dogs loving playing together! Perfect!”
“Otto had a fabulous weekend with Tom and Molly! They took him for some lovely walks (and swims), we were updated with photos, and he has obviously been very well looked after. Thank you! We will be back very soon.”
About: Hi, I'm Georgia and I love animals! I would love the opportunity to meet yours and offer them enrichment, play and exercise. I have experience supporting my friend's pet sitting business, including pet sitting, dog walking and play. I have had dogs my whole life and am confident looking after any age dog and any breed. I have also looked after cats, rabbits, guinea pigs and more! I would love you to catch up with you and see how I can help your pet sitting needs. I am currently working part time (with that also including a work from home option). I can be flexible to meet your pet sitting/walking needs, with availability most weekends. I currently have no other animals living with me, and am close to Clifton Downs and Redland Green for easy access to space for your dogs to play.
“Virginia was wonderful for Bob. Despite the late booking, she accepted and made him feel right at home. He made himself comfy on a variety of sofas (she sent us lots of pics) and she communicated really well! Hopefully Bob will be welcome back! Thank you Ginny!”
