“100% recommend, took great, professional care of our cat, Franca, during our holidays. Franca came back extremely relaxed and was visibly happy to be there. Regular communication and updates. Yanf is clearly animal lover with passion.”
“Mel is an absolutely incredible dog sitter, she gave my little dog such a lovely time I was worried she wasn’t going to want to come home! Mel took her on plenty of lovely walks, lots of cuddles and affection which my dog laps up! I was a bit worried leaving my dog as she’s not very good with kids, but Mel was super understanding and handled Darcies behaviour really well. I would highly recommend Mel, she will take very good care of your pet. Thank you Mel for spoiling Darcie whilst we were away!”
“Nicola was absolutely amazing looking after my dog, Billy - he had the best time ever! She kept me regularly updated with lovely pictures, which was so reassuring and showed just how happy and well cared for he was. I could tell he was in great hands from start to finish. I would 100% recommend Nicola to any other dog parents and wouldn’t hesitate to book her again.”
“Tansy can be anxious but was very relaxed with Sarah and Mark. Sarah was very flexible with drop off and collection times and provided a photo and short update during Tansy’s one night stay. I would be very happy to book Sarah again and we have other stays planned.”
“Simba had such a great time staying with Nina and her family! I really appreciate how well Nina took care of him; even though Simba is still a 10-month-old puppy with a lot of energy, she handled him perfectly. He came home happy and completely relaxed. I highly recommend Nina to anyone looking for a loving and attentive dog sitter.”
About: I've always had dogs in my life growing up and then when I had my own children I had to have a family dog too. I had my own working cocker spaniel for 13 years who has sadly crossed the rainbow bridge recently leaving a big void in our home. I would love to you with the care of your dog when needed and enjoy having the company of dogs again in our home. I work from home several days a week which will reflect in my availability I am hoping to build my availability over time as I build my online business combining my two passions of counselling services and caring for animals. I have a large fenced safe garden and access to several playing fields locally. Having owned my own dog for 13 years until recently I am well equipped at home to take care of others. Happy for dogs in any space of my home, cuddles on the sofa? Absolutely! Especially after a lovely walk in nature!
“Lucy was absolutely brilliant with Milo. I had daily messages as ro how he was behavingand getting on, which was very reassuring. .I would definately arrange to rebook with Lucy with absolute cinfidence”
“Jessica was amazing! She looked after our dog Connie for a week whilst we went on holiday and communicated everyday sending photos of Connie on walks and enjoying down time in Jessica’s house! Excellent communication from the start just wanting to get it right with what we wanted for Connie and provided us with immense peace of mind. We felt Connie was so well looked after that we will be booking Jessica again. Thank you so much Jessica.”
“Tamara is wonderful!! Chestnut & Dinky we’re so happy with her whilst we were away. We received video and photos from Tamara almost daily. The dogs enjoyed the love they received from her and her partner, enjoying long walks and lots of cuddles. Will definitely be using Tamara again!!! Thank you Tamara ??”
“Willow had a lovely time with Petra. We received updates every day, including lots of photos showing Willow looking very relaxed and happy, whether at home getting belly rubs or out on one of their many walks. She clearly slotted right in with the family and formed a real bond. I'd happily use Petra again and would also recommend if asked.”

“Lily took great care of Blossom and was very communicative with daily updates, walks and photos. Her dog Willow despite being 4x the size of Blossom was very friendly and they played together. Her charges were also reasonable compared to other sitters in Bristol. Would definitely be using Lily again.”
“María and her wonderful family have taken such good care of our little sausage, photos and updates throughout the days that we were away offered such reassurance, she was flexible with timings around pick up and drop off, honestly I couldn’t ask for a better dog sitter, I highly recommend her and her lovely partner and their wonderful children to take care of your beloved dog x”
“Jack and Amy looked after my poodle for a week while I was away. I returned to find a happy dog who had clearly been looked after well. They communicated clearly about what I needed to bring for my dog's stay, and used good sense (if only everyone had good sense!) with normal minor issues that arose. And they let me sit on their kitchen floor so Mr Dog and I could have a good bouncy snuggle when we were reunited. :)”
“Nova had the best time! Received lots of pictures/videos/updates throughout her stay which was lovely as it was my first time leaving her with a dogsitter. We will 100% be booking more stays. Thank you for looking after Nova like she was your own 💕”

“Coralie came morning and evening to look after Nemo and ensure he was fed. She took photos of my furr baby, and helped me feel at ease while on holiday. She also returned our key very quickly. She removed the presents (dead mice/shrews), and gave Nemo a few strokes (as much as Nemo allowed). Thank you. Will definitely book again!”
“Amy was fantastic! The cats looked like they had a great time whilst we were away. Amy really cared for them and seemed like she was enjoying it to boot! Thank you very much!”
“Emma is a super-friendly, very flexible and all-round purrfect cat-sitting companion for your feline overlord/lady. Even though we contacted her with less than a week til our desired date, it was no problem - she responded quickly and confirmed within a matter of minutes. She popped around beforehand to meet us and our cat, took careful notes on all the little points and idiosyncrasies we had to pass on and when we were away, sent us regular updates and films of our cat having a fantastic time (no doubt she was sorry to see Emma leave!) We will absolutely be getting in touch again when next we need someone to cover. Thanks Emma!”
“Rosie is a great sitter and a safe pair of hands. She helped me looking after Rudi in a difficult time and with very short notice. I'm grateful for her help and would recommend her to anybody needing high quality and attentive pet care. Thank you so much Rosie.”

“Hilary was amazing and Candy knew she was in safe hands straight away. We were in London for the day and I felt at ease knowing that Candy would be Hilarys priority. I cannot recommend Hilary enough for peace of mind and for the greatest care of your pets.”

I have two teenaged children and they love animals and long walks. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

“Tamara was very friendly and welcoming. Milo had a lovely day and Tamara kept us updated with photos. We really appreciated that Tamara invited us around before hand to chat, which put us at ease with leaving our dog with her. Will definitely be using Tamara again in the future.”
“My two dogs are quite nervous and I needed some last minute cover just for the day whilst I was at work. Charis was really friendly and the home seemed a nice and chilled environment. I was updated with photos throughout the day and when I picked the girls up they seemed very relaxed and happy! Will definitely use Charis again! Thank you 😁”
“It's been so lovely to be away knowing my dog is being well cared for. Lots of photos and updates from Claire . Winnie looks like she's had a great time. I've struggled to find someone to look after Winnie outside of the family but I will definitely be booking Claire again in future.”
“We were a bit worried to leave Nala since she is a rescue that only has been with us for 1 month. Sabrina and Tom were the nicest and calmer we could wish for Nala. They kept me updated during the day and Nala was very happy. The experience was so positive that we have already booked again! Definitely would recommend Sabrina and Tom.”
“Liz was absolutely amazing! Communication before the booking but also during was perfect! Paddy had the best time and even though it was such a short notice, Liz offer a meet and greet which put my mind at ease. I got so many pictures of him having the best time! ♥️ Also she was kind enough to drop him off to my flat! Which was such a kind thing to do as it was raining and I don’t have my own car. I would definitely leave Paddy with Liz knowing that he’s taken care of ♥️ Thank you so much Liz x”
“Molly and her partner took great care of our Labrador, who came back to us calm and clearly very content. They were professional, friendly, and communication was very easy throughout. They were really attentive to Leo’s needs, and he clearly enjoyed his time with them. We look forward to booking with them again and would highly recommend their service.”
“Samuel did a great job caring for our Labrador. Leo came home relaxed and happy, which says a lot about the care he received. He was welcoming, reliable, and very easy to communicate with. Leo was clearly comfortable with him, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book again.”
About: Hi, I'm Kerry! I share my home with my family, and a Cocker Spaniel called Bran. I've had dogs for over 10 years and genuinely love their company. Since bringing Bran home, I've spent a lot of time learning about the needs of active and busy breeds. I understand the importance of both physical exercise and mental stimulation and, I enjoy incorporating training, enrichment and sniffy walks into my dog's day. I'm home throughout the day so your dog would have lots of company and I can offer flexible walks and drop in visits that suit your dogs schedule. Most importantly, I'll care for your dog as I would my own and keep you updated with photos and messages while they're with me. Your dog would be treated like part of our family. I have a flexible schedule and will be home throughout most of the day. My husband works from home, so if I pop out, there will still be someone around to give your dog plenty of attention and care. I am able to offer two walks a day and your dog would never be left alone for long periods of time. I can offer walks and drop ins througout the week. If your dog needs a lunchtime walk, some company while you're out and a toilet break, I'm happy to help! I have a secure garden with plenty of space so your dog can safely enjoy outdoor time. For any dogs staying with us it's important they're comfortable with family life and happy to spend time with my dog. Like most spaniels, he's sociable and enjoys play when meeting new dogs, but settles well afterwards. That said, I also have enough space to provide separate, quiet time. Meet and greets are always welcome to make sure it's a good fit for everyone. For drop ins and walks, I'll fit in with your dog's usual routine as much as possible and keep you updated with photos and messages along the way.
“Callie really enjoyed her day care experience with Marketa and her family. Thank you very much for looking after her so well. I will certainly use Marketa again in the future. I highly recommend her care services. Karin and Callie”
About: I have had pets since I was a child, dogs, birds, rabbit and even looked after our neighbour's ducks when they went on holiday. We often look after Anna, our friend's dog when they go away, and Anna loves staying with us. Going for plenty of works and sometimes even joins to watch my son's football matches. I work from home twice a week with flexible working hours and we are home most weekends. I love going for daily walks and being outside, and pet will have the best time joining me on my works with regular water breaks. I have a fenced garden and no other pets, so your doggo is safe with our full attention. We also have a lovely field across our house with plenty to sniff about.
About: I had two Shih Tzu’s growing up when I was growing up. As soon as I bought my house, I bought myself a Staffordshire bull terrier. She is called Lola. She is the friendliest dog in the world and would love some extra company. I’ve trained all the dogs to sit, stay and paw. I enjoy walking Lola for at least an hour a day as well! I’m currently working from home so I only really leave in the morning around 6 am to go to the gym and then I take Lola for a walk afterwards and at lunchtime. My job is very flexible. I have a fenced garden, which is very secure. I’m very good with energetic dogs and also the sleepier ones! I am dog mad and I will treat your fur baby like my own
About: Caring for animals has always come naturally to me. For as long as I can remember, I’ve felt a strong connection to them and a real sense of comfort being surrounded by their energy and companionship. I grew up with dogs, cats, and many other animals, and caring for them has always been a big part of my life. Over the years, friends, family, and neighbours often trusted me to look after their beloved pets as well. My closest companion was a little Maltese who stayed by my side for 16 wonderful years, until she sadly passed away in December 2022. After that loss, many people continued reaching out to me for help with their pets, and that’s how this new chapter began. The space left by my lifelong companion slowly opened the door to many new furry friendships. Alongside my experience with animals, I also have extensive training in caring for people and children, as well as a Master’s Degree in Psychology. While caring for animals is of course unique in its own way, many of the same qualities apply: patience, empathy, attention, and understanding. I truly care for every pet as if they were my own, and I understand how important it is for owners to feel their animals are safe, loved, and well looked after. If your dog will spend the time with me, I'll dedicate complete attention to your little friend based on his/her needs and his/her routine full time. :) ABOUT THE BOOKING: I need two weeks notice for more than 1night, couple of days for day care and once in contact I always schedule for a first meeting. The meeting is about 15/20 minutes outside or inside my flat if we both feel comfortable with. It is free, so no charge for it. Please be aware that there is NO OBLIGATION to accept your booking after the meeting. This is why the meeting was created for. I accept booking no more than 1 month in advance, no more than 5 days in a row. I can make exception for small and very calm, relaxed dogs or dogs that have already stayed in my flat and don't require too much energy. Please remember that I take care of one pet at a time so you will have a better chance of having the days you are looking for if you confirm before the others. This is why the first meeting is important, it allows you to have priority. When create your dog's profile, remember to add photos and all the required information. As a sitter I also decide and need the information you share with me! If you have more than one pet, Rover needs one separate profile for each one of them. Please be honest and clear about your dog HEALTH. Please note that I am unable to take responsibility for your dog’s health during your holiday if there are any existing or uncertain health concerns. Before boarding check with VET if: - Diet is correct and that there is no risk of loose stools and upset stomach. - The dog scratch, bite their skin or showing any signs of discomfort. Please maintain hight level of HYGIENE. - Make sure your dog is clean and free from fleas or ticks before the booking. - Treat the dog with appropriate medications (spray, drops or collar) specially during ticks season (April - October) In case your pet spends one or more nights in my flat, I request a text message (email or a paper) with all the dog routine INFORMATION, contact details, equipment list, food, medication and so on. I also offer daily PHOTOS and VIDEOS. You can monitor the state of happiness of your pet while is away from you. :D I simply care for your pet the same way I’d hope someone would care for mine. I know leaving your pet with someone else can feel stressful, so I’ll do everything I can to make the experience as comfortable and reassuring as possible for both you and your pet! VERY IMPORTANT: Please be kind when you request a booking and during a meeting. I offer my home and my personal space that I share with another person. Is my home therefore I DO NOT TOLLERATE any rude, destructive, offensive behaviour. I also do not tolerate any inappropriate, noisy, intruding comments or questions about my personal life. Please be respectful because I will be respectful with you. Let's maintain a friendly and polite conversation. :) I am here to offer a service and there is no reason why I should feel uncomfortable in my own home. Unfortunately this has happened in the past and I wish it didn't happen again. ABOUT DOGS AND SIZES: What if you have two dogs?

“Duane has been looking after Arwen for a good while now. He is wonderful with her. She clearly feels comfortable at his house based on her charge through the front door each morning. Comforting to know she's well looked after while I'm at work.”
“Victoria is excellent and we recommend her highly. When we first booked, we had a long conversation on the phone to discuss food/ behaviour/ triggers etc and we felt very comfortable that our boy was being thoroughly cared for. Thank you again!”
About: Do you have a furry friend who needs some company during the day? I have worked as a freelance sitter on and off for the past ten years for a small group of clients, and am now looking to expand my customer base. I have a sweet lurcher, called Lenny, who loves to play. He is good at matching other dogs’ energy, and very sociable! I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes (Fromm Maltese to Mastiffs!) and am knowledgable about dog behaviour and body language. I work flexible hours during the week and work from home, so I can provide continuous care for your dog. Doggy day care includes one walk at midday, usually around 1hr but this can be tailored to your pet. My garden is fully fenced, mainly with 6ft fencing. There are a couple of spots that are 5ft tall, so let me know if your pup is an escape artist! For dog walking, all new dogs will be exercised on lead unless in a safely fenced location. Even dogs with great recall can sometimes have selective hearing with new people! For recurring bookings, we can discuss the safest way for your dog to be off lead if this is something you’d like. I typically provide 3 updates a day, so you can rest assured that your dog is in safe hands.
About: I’ve had dogs for over 10 years and genuinely love having them around. I’m especially experienced with calm, friendly dogs who enjoy a relaxed home environment and plenty of attention. I work from home, so your dog would have lots of company and would never be left alone for more than a couple of hours. My home is calm, structured, and caring — ideal for dogs who settle well and enjoy a peaceful atmosphere. I’m used to daily walks, feeding routines, and tuning into each dog’s individual needs. I’m confident supporting good behaviour, gentle boundaries, and helping dogs feel safe and settled. Your dog would be treated like part of the family and cared for just as I care for my own. I work from home, so I’m around all day and able to give your dog plenty of attention, company, and care. Dogs would never be left alone for more than 2 hours at a time. I’m able to offer two walks per day, along with a consistent routine, playtime, and lots of affection. I’m flexible and available for boarding throughout the week and weekends. I have a secure, fully fenced garden, so your dog can safely enjoy outdoor time. My home is calm, structured, and set up to help dogs feel relaxed and settled. Our cockapoo Mabel is very friendly and enjoys the company of other dogs. That said, I also have space to keep dogs separate within the home if needed, so I can accommodate different needs and ensure everyone feels comfortable and safe.
About: I currently have a dog who is a 5 year old labradoodle. I have looked after her since she was a puppy meaning I am experienced in training whether that is for puppies or older dogs. I take her for walks twice daily so I understand their needs and schedules. I am a complete dog lover and I’m currently at uni so I miss being around dogs! I am currently not working and at uni so I will be available all days of the week at any time for the most part. This means I will be able to easily go along with your dogs schedule to allow them to be the most relaxed as well as make sure to send regular updates! I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for whether they are in my home or their owner’s home. I keep the environment clean and calm, and I always supervise pets to ensure their safety. I also make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and affection so they feel happy and secure. I provide regular updates and photos to owners so they know their pets are doing well.

About: Hi! My name is Hannah (Yang) , and I am a passionate animal lover with years of experience caring for dogs. I’ve had the joy of raising three wonderful dogs in the past: Yanwo, Tony, and Yumi. Sadly, we lost Yumi when my children were only six months old, which led to us stepping back from having pets. However, my kids adore animals and are constantly begging me to bring a dog or cat into our home. While I’ve been hesitant to adopt a new pet due to the emotional loss we experienced, I’ve realized that hosting and caring for pets might be the perfect first step. I miss the companionship and joy that dogs bring, and I’m excited to offer a safe, loving environment for your furry family member. My children and I are eager to give your dog plenty of love and attention while you’re away, and we look forward to making them feel right at home. I also provide pick up and drop off service for areas within 1.5 miles with a small fee on top. If you're looking for someone to care for your pet with the same love and devotion as you do, I would be honored to be your go to sitter. Let’s chat and see how I can help take care of your fur baby! I work from home full-time with a very flexible schedule, allowing me to take regular breaks for walks to the local park or woods. I can take your pet for a walk every 3 to 4 hours throughout the day. When my children get home from school, they love joining me for the walks, ensuring your pet gets even more attention and exercise! I provide a safe and secure environment for your pet, starting with our fenced garden where they can play freely without any risk of getting out. Inside, we have a spacious living room perfect for your pet to relax and play. I also have a variety of pet toys to keep them entertained and engaged throughout the day. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities.
“I employed Daniel for 8 consecutive days to walk our cockapoo while we were away as my mother is struggling with arthritis and I have nothing but praise for his reliability, kindness and dog-loving nature! Not only did he turn up every day exactly on time for the walk, but he sometimes walked for extra time and even chatted with my mother afterwards. She found Daniel to be an extremely friendly and caring person and I would have no hesitation in using him again or recommending him to others.”
About: I have grown up with dogs and cats my whole life and often look after friends and family’s pets as well as my own. I have always loved animals. My calendar is up to date with availability. Walking regularly and looking after pets in their homes fits perfectly into my routine. I carefully plan my days to fit the needs of each pet. I offer pet sitting from your home. This way your pets will be comforted with the familiarity of their own home reducing stress and anxiety. I will be there to keep them company and stay in their routine. You will have peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, secure and well cared for.
About: I’m a student nurse who’s experienced in taking care of both people and pets. I have experience in looking after cats - I’ve lived with them since I was born.

As well as my three cats Gin, Juniper and Kevin. I've also had years of experience looking after, cuddling and caring for family cats :) I know how it feels to go on a holiday and the guilt you feel of leaving your bundles of fluff behind, so let me put your mind at ease and take care of them for you, keeping their routines and making sure their every need is catered for.
“Shaun is always punctual & reliable. He keeps me posted with photos during his walks with Baffi. He is trying his best to get Baffi walking at ease down the park. Highly recommended.”

About: I've always had dogs in my life growing up and then when I had my own children I had to have a family dog too. I had my own working cocker spaniel for 13 years who has sadly crossed the rainbow bridge recently leaving a big void in our home. I would love to you with the care of your dog when needed and enjoy having the company of dogs again in our home. I work from home several days a week which will reflect in my availability I am hoping to build my availability over time as I build my online business combining my two passions of counselling services and caring for animals. I have a large fenced safe garden and access to several playing fields locally. Having owned my own dog for 13 years until recently I am well equipped at home to take care of others. Happy for dogs in any space of my home, cuddles on the sofa? Absolutely! Especially after a lovely walk in nature!

I currently work part time so am available for boarding Wednesdays and Fridays from 6pm onwards, and weekends! I’m also available for walks and drop ins at weekends, Tuesday and Thursday mornings, and some Monday/wednesday/fridays. I have a fenced back garden and have plenty of room for a crate in my house, or simply a bed to keep them in the kitchen overnight.
About: I have taken care of dogs for the last few years. We have always had dogs in our family. We lost one of our boys last year and have a 1 year old dachshund who is very sociable. He has some dachshund traits (barking) but he loves playing with other dogs, he is regularly around family dogs and goes to a dog day care one day a week too. I absolutely love dogs and would treat yours as they were mine 🐾❤️ I am currently working part time and term time only. So school holidays my calendar is fully open, during school term I can offer dog walking and boarding weds pm to Sunday. I live in a large flat with a very spacious living room and have a shared garden which only we usually use. We have lovely nearby walks and parks we especially love the local river and woods walks. I’m currently working part time but am able to look after your pets from weds lunchtime to Sunday. In the school holidays my calendar is completely open I live in a ground floor flat which has a communal garden around the back. We are close to beautiful walks and I walk my dog atleast twice a day and take out for regular toilet breaks

About: I’ve never met a pet I didn't like! Growing up in a house full of diverse animals, from energetic pups to unique reptiles, has taught me how to bond with all kinds of personalities and species. I understand that every pet has a distinct "voice," and I pride myself on being a patient, observant caregiver who treats every animal like a member of my own family. I offer dedicated dog walking, drop-in visits, and overnight pet sitting. For High-Energy Dogs: I love hitting the trails for long, vigorous walks or runs to ensure your pup burns off that extra steam. For Seniors or Shy Pets: I’m experienced in providing gentle companionship and following specific medication or feeding schedules. Beyond Dogs: Thanks to my background, I am also very comfortable caring for cats, small mammals, and reptiles. I work full time but my job has a different schedule every month, and I've got plenty of days off during the week and some availability during work days. I get my schedule one month in advance so I can commit to long term bookings and I've always got some availability for last minute bookings. I'll take care of any pets as if they're my own. With all the care and love they'll need. I've got plenty of experience to know what they'll want to feel safe and comfortable.
About: We've had dogs all our life. We regularly look after a mix of cockapoos and Jack Russles for our close family (Bertie, Pepper, Goose and Peggy). Would love a dog of our own but lifestyle limits the consistent commitment. Laura, she works from home at the start and tail end of the week. Sam, he is often around on the weekends and evenings. We are very active people who love walks as well as cuddles. We have a fenced garden. Wood floors and a comfy sofa! Plenty of walking routes near by including open fields (if dog is ok off lead).
About: I joined Rover in 2022. I can't be more happier. I have a German Short-haired Pointer back home. I miss her so much so, spending time with others dogs help me a lot and keeps me busy. I have a fenced and long yard where pets can spent quality time. I am happy walking them around a couple of times per day. I work part time from home so i have plenty of time. I can boarding and receive visit everyday basically. I am quite flexible as well. Me and my boyfriend together take care of the dogs. So we both can easily manage ourselves to keep the dogs under control every time.
About: I’ve had dogs and cats for most of my childhood and adult life and only stopped after my 11 year old Newfoundland (one in the picture) died in 2019. My little ones are a bit older now (5 & 3) and although we don’t yet want the commitment of a new dog, it would be great for me and them to look after one or maybe two from same home for a few days at a time. I work from home, so will be in to look after the dog all day, and we are close to the Frome valley walkway and Frenchay common for walks and also have a large back garden with grass and fenced all the way around. As per description, I work from home. Only think we ask is for dog to be good with children. The children are very well behaved and love dogs so we don’t want to affect that. As above, fenced in yard. Will be able to go all around downstairs (not upstairs but we have gate) in day. We will keep in Kitchen at night as it has a stone floor so any accidents can be easily cleaned. In winter we will give access to garden as much as needed (via patio door or back door), but in summer doors will be open all day for them to have access.

“Tansy can be anxious but was very relaxed with Sarah and Mark. Sarah was very flexible with drop off and collection times and provided a photo and short update during Tansy’s one night stay. I would be very happy to book Sarah again and we have other stays planned.”
About: I've always had dogs in my life growing up and then when I had my own children I had to have a family dog too. I had my own working cocker spaniel for 13 years who has sadly crossed the rainbow bridge recently leaving a big void in our home. I would love to you with the care of your dog when needed and enjoy having the company of dogs again in our home. I work from home several days a week which will reflect in my availability I am hoping to build my availability over time as I build my online business combining my two passions of counselling services and caring for animals. I have a large fenced safe garden and access to several playing fields locally. Having owned my own dog for 13 years until recently I am well equipped at home to take care of others. Happy for dogs in any space of my home, cuddles on the sofa? Absolutely! Especially after a lovely walk in nature!
“Jessica was amazing! She looked after our dog Connie for a week whilst we went on holiday and communicated everyday sending photos of Connie on walks and enjoying down time in Jessica’s house! Excellent communication from the start just wanting to get it right with what we wanted for Connie and provided us with immense peace of mind. We felt Connie was so well looked after that we will be booking Jessica again. Thank you so much Jessica.”
“Willow had a lovely time with Petra. We received updates every day, including lots of photos showing Willow looking very relaxed and happy, whether at home getting belly rubs or out on one of their many walks. She clearly slotted right in with the family and formed a real bond. I'd happily use Petra again and would also recommend if asked.”
“Found Sam, as needed some last minute dog sitting (change of our plans). Welcoming, Good Comms and Dogs were well settled. Very nice couple - happy to leave our dogs with them any time. Thank you.”
“Lily took great care of Blossom and was very communicative with daily updates, walks and photos. Her dog Willow despite being 4x the size of Blossom was very friendly and they played together. Her charges were also reasonable compared to other sitters in Bristol. Would definitely be using Lily again.”
“María and her wonderful family have taken such good care of our little sausage, photos and updates throughout the days that we were away offered such reassurance, she was flexible with timings around pick up and drop off, honestly I couldn’t ask for a better dog sitter, I highly recommend her and her lovely partner and their wonderful children to take care of your beloved dog x”
“Jack and Amy looked after my poodle for a week while I was away. I returned to find a happy dog who had clearly been looked after well. They communicated clearly about what I needed to bring for my dog's stay, and used good sense (if only everyone had good sense!) with normal minor issues that arose. And they let me sit on their kitchen floor so Mr Dog and I could have a good bouncy snuggle when we were reunited. :)”
“Nova had the best time! Received lots of pictures/videos/updates throughout her stay which was lovely as it was my first time leaving her with a dogsitter. We will 100% be booking more stays. Thank you for looking after Nova like she was your own 💕”
“Best dog sitters we have ever had. Regularly given updates with pictures, and went above and beyond to settle our dog in. Can't recommend enough and likely the only dog sitters we will ever use in the future. ❤️”
“Amy was incredible, very communicative and great with my Dog Barry. Got sent photos and videos throughout the day and there were some difficult logistical bits to sort out which she handled wonderfully. I’ll definitely be using her again and couldn’t recommend her highly enough! 10 out of 10!”
“Byron and family were friendly and welcoming and provided updates during Dave’s stay. When I picked him up he was happy and seemed very comfortable in his surroundings. Would definitely use again and would happily recommend!”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, whether it’s walks, cuddles, playtime, or sticking to their usual routine, I love making pets feel happy and at home. I’m especially obsessed with dogs (probably a little too much!) and will happily shower your furry family members with all the love and attention they deserve. This is my first time being paid for pet sitting so I don’t have any profesh experience. But have successfully looked after our pupper and other animals. Pet care fits naturally into my routine as i work for myself and run my own business from home. means I’m around throughout the day to provide plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and company. I’m a wedding photographer, and this means I’m busiest on weekends during the summer wedding season, but outside of that i have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets the time and care they deserve. Your pet will be treated like part of the family while they’re with me. My home is full of love, belly rubs, treats (when approved by you!), and plenty of attention. Most evenings you’ll find me curled up reading a book with a cat on her lap or a dog wedged firmly against her side, If I’m not at home watching movies, I’m usually out exploring a forest, beach, or nature trail and wondering whether I’d be allowed to bring every dog I meet home with me. I’ll always stick to your pet’s usual routine and make sure they feel safe, happy, and thoroughly spoiled. Regular photo updates are included, because let’s be honest, I’ll probably take hundreds anyway.
“Sam and Laura were fantastic with Humphrey, great communication and provided picture updates of the great time he was having. Even organised a meet and greet to check in about all of Humphrey’s needs and care information. Will definitely use again and we highly recommend them”
“Aaron helped us out very last minute with our Dillon's first ever "meet & sleepover on the same day"! We were put so at ease with pictures and updates, and Dillon slept well through the night which is a real testament to Aaron's lovely sitting skills! Couldn't recommend higher!”
About: I share this account with my partner Jake. We absolutely love animals and are so excited to look after yours! I am a teacher, so have availability during school holidays and some weekends. Jake works from home so has availability during the week. We both love dogs and have extensive experience looking after and caring for dogs . We have an interest in training and both love a long (or short if needed!) walk. We dogsit for our friends and have dog sat for a variety of dogs. We are confident with all aspects of their care. We absolutely love walking so are always happy to have someone join us in snuff mills 🐾 I am a teacher, so I am always happy to have a pet join me in the school holidays on my daily walks, for drop ins or for doggy day care. Jake works from home so will have days during term time where he is free. We will sometimes have availability during term time for weekends. As we regularly dog sit our houses are dog proofed and we make sure we keep a close eye on animals! In someone else's home we ensure we follow the guidance they have given us to ensure their pet is as happy as possible 💖
“Giorgia provided great care for our dog Luca - treating him as one of the family with trips out for walks, the allotment and pub while we enjoyed our own weekend away. She shared lots of photos and videos so we could enjoy what he’d been up to and was warm and welcoming when we dropped off and picked up. Thank you for looking after him with such obvious interest and affection.”
“Anna and Alex were great dog sitters. They had great communication and sent regular updates and photos of our dog Milo. They were understanding of our dogs issues and did their best to make him feel at home. We hope he can stay with them again. Thank you!”
