“Andre was great, he is Quick to response to any queries, great rural location with nice big enclosed garden for dogs. Sasha and Ziggy took to him straight away and both loved all the attention, thank you for having them.”
“Our elderly cocker spaniel, Dylan was very well looked after by Rob and his family. Rob sent texts and photos of Dylan during our weekend away which was very reassuring. He was very well cared for and we can highly recommend Rob. We are booking again for a week away.”
“Magnus stayed with Fraser for four nights and was well looked after. We got plenty of photo updates of nice long walks and a video of Magnus fast asleep and snoring. We know he's in good hands!”
“This was our first time using Rover as our usual house sitter was not available and was unsure whether this way would be suitable or not. The first person we saw on here was Barbara who instantly felt would be a good match for our little Bertie and had high hopes. When Barbara invited us to come and meet her any hesitancy instantly disappeared and definitely had no concerns about leaving him. You just know when someone is a doggy person or not and could just sense any dog left in Barbara’s care would certainly be well looked after. When collecting him yesterday, I felt he enjoyed himself that much that he didn’t want to leave. I am so happy that Bertie has had a great stay and been very well looked after and have no doubts at all that Barbara is the perfect person to look after our Bertie. Just looking at dates when he can stay again and the only downside to all these good reviews is she will get booked up even quicker!”
“Linsey was a fantastic host to our Vinnie. It was very appreciated that she hosted for a day prior to a weekly stay, so he could feel settled before (and we could too, first time ever leaving with a dog sitter!). We look forward to seeing you again soon!”

“Frances looked after Ruby for us overnight at very short notice, and we couldn’t have been happier with the care she provided. She was friendly, reliable, and Ruby was well looked after. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Frances to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog sitter, and we’d be delighted to book with her again in the future.”
“Zack looked after Dylan for 10 days and honestly went above and beyond. He kept in touch with me every single day with updates and photos, which made such a difference — I always felt completely reassured that Dylan was happy and settled. When Dylan came home he was super relaxed, calm, and clearly very comfortable in Zack’s care. It genuinely felt like he’d had a proper home‑away‑from‑home experience. Dylan has quite a few quirks and can be a very strong dog who gets nervous in new situations, but Zack handled everything with real experience and confidence. He understood Dylan’s personality straight away and gave him the patience, structure, and calm environment he needs. It’s not easy to find someone who can manage a dog like Dylan so well, and I’m incredibly grateful. We can’t wait to book with Zack again — highly recommended.”
“Catherine was great. Friendly and efficient, she sent lots of pics, had a good system for introducing her own, very friendly, dogs, was happy dealing with Snooks medication and appreciated his needs as an older dog. He was happy, I felt very comfortable leaving him and wouldn't hesitate to recommend.”
“Macy was absolutely fantastic with our french bulldog, Bella, while we were away on holiday for six nights. From the moment Bella stayed with her, it was clear how much love, care and attention Macy puts into looking after dogs, and we were so grateful for how warmly she welcomed Bella into her day-to-day family life rather than just “watching” her. She spent time playing with Bella, made sure she felt included and comfortable, and it was obvious that Bella was being treated like one of the family. We also really appreciated the daily updates, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away and showed just how happy and settled Bella was. Macy is kind, caring, thoughtful and clearly loves dogs, and we would not hesitate for a second to recommend her to anyone looking for a genuinely wonderful dog sitter. Thank you Macy for doing such a good job x”
“Thank you Victoria for looking after Saffy to us again. Saffy is always very happy to go to Victoria’s house and is clearly very well looked after. We’ll not hesitate to book again.”
“Skye was so happy with Joshua. Lots of lovely walks and videos of her having a marvellous time. Would highly recommend Joshua and Skye is already booked in for 2 more stays.”
“Daisy-Mae spent a night here with Lily and her family, she was well looked after and loved, walked fed and watered. Would definitely recommend Lily, the environment was very dog friendly and the family all loved to cuddle with our pup. Would definitely ask for her to stay here again 👍”
“"I cannot recommend Mollie enough! This was our first time leaving Monty this weekend. She completely put my mind at ease by sending photo and video updates. Monty can be a bit needy and anxious but was very happy and content when left. We will definitely be booking again. Thank you Mollie!”
“Benny had a fantastic little holiday. Thank you for looking after him so well. He came home feeling very happy and rested. Nick did everything he could to make Benny welcome and comfortable. Would definitely recommend.”

“Sofia is a lovely lady who clearly loves cats, she came to visit before my holiday and she was lovely with my Suki. While I was away she gave me updates and I felt very comfortable with her looking after Suki. I highly recommend Sofia if you need someone to look after your cats.”
“Gemma was so caring and looked after our cat Artemis wonderfully. It was our first time getting a pet sitter and so glad we found Gemma. Very accommodating and sent very detailed reports/photos on the Rover cards to give us peace of mind! Will be booking again in future.”
“So pleased with the service provided from Cherie today! The app is brilliant, I would say that after doing a long shift at work and leaving my house cat alone for that long always leaves me feeling uneasy but being new to the area, I couldn't ask anyone to just drop in. Trilby has been introduced to a new friend whilst I'm at work and its gone amazingly. The photo updates were very lovely and gave me piece of mind at work! Definitely worth doing again and has given me confidence to think re. Future plans about possibly having a house sitting booking 😊 thank you. She definitely got the attention that I would have expected. I have heard of some reviews where poeple go in and read a book whilst being paid....I was looking for more interaction with my house cat so I come home on a Monday evening with a less energetic kitty and that's what I had. 💕🤗 x”

“Rachel was a godsend, booked last minute, she stepped up to the mark right away by coming to visit and picking up keys from my friend. She went the extra mile going out to find our precious kitty when he decided to go out on an adventure. Much appreciated. Will book again.”
“Laura was incredibly friendly and considerate from the moment she met both me and Milly. I was so pleased with the care she gave Milly while I was away, and the regular updates gave me real peace of mind. It was wonderful knowing Milly could stay comfortable in her own home and familiar surroundings. I wouldn’t hesitate to book Laura again and would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter.”

About: What can I say about cats? Cats have been part of my life and the centre of our family life since childhood. I have experience with rescue cats, that need extra patience and care to settle. Having rescued farm cats and those from animal sanctuaries. In the past I when living in Dubai I fostered street cats with a local charity, whilst they found their forever home. I have availability to take care of your cats overnight at your home, pop in feeds-whatever your needs. Please discuss any extra special needs: allergies, medication or sickness and any human anxieties, I’ll be happy to work through any issues.
About: I have had cats all my life, and still do. I'm confident in providing care for cats of all ages and breeds - from fluffy long-hairs that need regular grooming, to independent farm or feral cats. Whether your cat is an indoor, lap-warmer or an outdoor explorer, I'm here to keep them happy on their own terms.
About: My cat experience comes from having a childhood cat and taking care of friends pets while they are away. I love cats but unfortunately have a dog who can’t live with one. Looking forward to assisting in the care of your feline friends!
“Edita was so friendly and helpful when coming to visit my cat Hope today, and very flexible in helping out with another matter! I hope to rebook her again for further help next week!”
About: I’ve worked in animal rescue so I’m very used to a wide variety of dogs, breed and size. Also worked with a variety of needs also. I have my own dogs. One since a pup who was challenging and then became reactive. She is doing amazing now! And I have a foreign rescue who posed many opposite challenges so I’m able to adapt to the dogs needs. I have ten years experience in the nhs but I’m looking at going into a career with dogs now. It’s my main passion. I’ve been told I’m very calm and patient with dogs which draws many dogs to me. I have attended all sorts of workshops and classes with my own dogs including: puppy/adolescent classes, trick training, parkour, scentwork, mantrailing, barnhunt, Canicross, paddle boarding, agility and hoopers to name a few. I try and include things I think your dog may enjoy on our walks. I have completed many online courses from canine first aid, canine body language and behaviour and dog walking. I have also spent a lot of time observing behaviourists, trainers, walkers, vets, vet nurses, hydrotherapists and physios to gain as much knowledge and experience as I can. I’m currently doing odd bits of work with dogs including training/behaviour work with supervision and hydrotherapy/physio assistant work. So my diary is currently very flexible. I know lots of local walks and I’m very used to finding quieter walks if that’s what a dog needs. I also know good busier areas for bits of dog training depending on the dogs requirements. I also live on private land with some secure fields so that is an option also.
About: I grew up with two border collies. I helped care for them from pups to seniors. I don't have that many photos of me and them together or me and any pet together as I was a bit camera shy. I completely understand what it takes and how much our animals mean to us. From feeding them twice to three times a day, to the hours upon hours of walking I did with them by my side. I really learnt what it was like to care and look after pets. Young and old. I was in control of dog sledging team last winter. Competeing in races and casual sledging. I worked with my mother who fostered a puppy when our dog was senior, so I understand the difference in age and what is required with each stage of an animals life. Catering my experience to whatever stage your pet is at. I am an avid hiker and love taking dogs with me. I have been left friends dogs and cats to feed while they were away. Overall I just love animals. I am very flexible around dates and times. On an average week I will have 2-3 days i can dedicate to your pet. It will take a bit of organizing but I am sure that I can fit around your schedule. I like to listen to the pet owners about their pets, as I believe they know them best. I look to find out all i can about a dog before walks. If I am too come to your home. I like to know if the pet is on any medication. If there is any strict rules the pet follows (like not being allowed in bedrooms) after all it's the pets home. I'm just a visitor. Overall I like to get a sense of the animal and the situation I am coming into.

“We left our elderly terrier Indi with Rachel for an afternoon as we were visiting Wells to attend a family birthday lunch at a venue that was not dog friendly. As soon as we met Rachel and her dog Buster we knew that Indi was in safe hands and felt confident to leave her. The house was warm and comfortable, Indi was asleep on the sofa when we came to collect her. Thank You Rachel and Buster.”

About: I grew up in the countryside with a large menagerie of animals and then went into pet sitting. I have several regular clients who book me on repeat every year because I provide a great level of care for their pets. Genuine animal lover and love getting out and about in the countryside with a four legged friend or 3. Fun, fresh air and snuggles guaranteed. I work from home and I'm self employed which means I'm free to go for walkies whenever it's needed and I'm always with your pet to keep them company. I have a home educated daughter who is a real animal lover and has grown up pet sitting with me since she was a few months old. We both love to get out and about in the countryside and love the company of a dog or two on our rambles. We know the area well and always seek out great dog walks and places for them to play. I have a fenced garden and a warm, cosy home where pets can hop onto the bed or sofas for cuddles. I live on the edge of the countryside so only 5 minutes walk before we reach open fields, hills and streams for playtime. I have been pet sitting for many years and always take impeccable care of their homes and pets.
“Rob looked after my dog extremely well, he and his family were incredible with my dog and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to others :) She actually didn’t want to leave!! Thank you Rob and Family!”

“Nancy was very well looked after by Linsey, and she absolutely loved the selection of toys that were on offer!

“Rufus had a wonderful day with Jess and her family. He went straight in to the home with his tail wagging, and loved sniffing around the garden. Jess was very attentive to Rufus’s needs and he left very happy indeed. Would definitely recommend Jess for doggy day care.”
“Although nervous about leaving Monty we needn’t have been . We had a meet and greet first and Nicolas and his wife put our minds at ease as they were such dog friendly people. We were sent photos during the day and Monty had the best time. Just want to say thank you, we recommend them and will definitely use them again”

About: I grew up with animals of all sorts in Kenya, and have had various pets throughout my life: dogs, cats, rabbits, gerbils, tortoises, fish, and a giant snail. My last dog (boxer) was a family pet, which I trained from a puppy, and cared for until she grew old. My cats came to me as kittens and lived long happy lives with me.

About: I grew up with four dachshunds in the family home, standard and miniature. All had very different temperaments so I’m comfortable with pets that require special attention and care, understanding their unique personalities and needs. I have experience sitting dachshunds, spaniels, Staffordshire bull terriers, boxers, American bulldog, cavapoo, cockapoo, boarder terrier, Yorkshire terrier. I do have a 7 year old boy named Benjamin who has a calm and confident nature around dogs. I also currently have a staffy pup named Flo who is just over a year old and she absolutely adores other dogs and is the biggest softy you’ll ever meet. So I can only accept looking after dogs that are happy around children and other dogs. 😊 If boarding isn’t an option for your pet I do offer house sitting. My goal is always to create a safe, happy, and comfortable space for every pet I care for, treating them as if they were my own. 🐾 Insured sitter 🙂 I work part time as a dental nurse. Giving me Tuesdays and weekends free to look after your beloved pets, providing the playtime, cuddles and attention they need.

About: I hold a degree in Animal Behaviour and Welfare, am fully trained in pet first aid, and have 7 years of hands-on experience caring for other people’s dogs. Training Experience: • Trained a family member’s dog to Silver level Kennel Club • Worked with dogs outside of family on obedience and behaviour • Experience with agility training • Successfully trained puppies in house training, crate training, and both basic and complex commands My background means I don’t just look after dogs — I understand their behaviour, can read their body language, and provide care that’s tailored to each individual dog’s needs Pet care fits beautifully into my routine because I’m at home most days with a very flexible schedule. I’m available throughout the day, every day, which means I can give dogs the time, attention, and consistency they thrive on. My days are structured around gentle routines — perfect for slow walks, playtime, training sessions, or just quiet company. Whether it’s an early morning walk, a midday play session, or regular check-ins throughout the day, I can easily adapt to your dog’s normal routine to keep them happy and stress-free. Being available most of the day also means I never rush visits — there’s always time for extra cuddles, a longer sniff on a walk, or that little bit of extra attention some dogs need. I offer a warm, safe, home-from-home experience where your dog becomes part of my daily routine. I’m at home most of the day, every day — so your dog will never be left alone for long stretches. I have a good-sized, fully enclosed garden for your dog to run around in or simply relax outside and enjoy the breeze. A typical day includes: • Regular walks in quiet local areas near Street • Playtime, cuddles, and plenty of interaction • Fresh water and feeding exactly to your instructions • A comfortable, designated rest area with their own bed and blankets from home • Photo and video updates so you can see they’re happy and settled With my Animal Behaviour and Welfare degree, I carefully introduce dogs to their new environment, read their body language to ensure they’re comfortable, and adapt my care to each dog’s individual needs — whether that’s extra quiet time, gentle play, or longer sniff walks. Dog Walking: Solo walks only — never group walks (unless specifically requested) — with my full attention at all times. I adapt the pace and style of every walk to suit your dog’s age and temperament. Safety is always my priority: I’m fully trained in pet first aid, and I always carry a pet first aid kit with me on walks.

About: I’m a seasoned pet sitter with 4+ years of experience and a full house of my own. I’m confident in administering medication, including insulin, and I’ve worked with dogs and cats of all ages and breeds — from fluffy long-hairs that need regular grooming to independent farm or feral cats. I have a company called Woofs & Whiskers, which provides pet and house sitting, which allows me to offer a wide range of availability during weekdays, weekends and school holidays (day and night). To supplement this during quieter months, I work as a bank support worker for adults with learning disabilities and autism. Working on the bank (0 hour contract) allows me to prioritise my I know that leaving your pets and your home in someone else’s care takes a huge amount of trust. My aim is always to make things as familiar, calm and consistent as possible for your pets while you’re away, and to give you the reassurance that they’re being well cared for. Wherever possible, I will maintain your pet’s usual routine, including their normal feeding times, walks, bedtime routines and the little habits that help them feel secure. I’m happy to administer medication, follow specialist or prescribed diets, and work with any individual care instructions you provide. For dogs, I will initially stick to walking routes and areas they already know, rather than introducing unfamiliar places straight away. Once we’ve built a relationship and I understand their personality, behaviour and recall, we can agree whether exploring further afield or walking off lead is appropriate. Building trust and a positive relationship with your pets is really important to me. I’ll take things at their pace, particularly with pets who are nervous, anxious or simply need a little longer to decide whether I’m worthy of their approval! I’m equally respectful of the fact that I’m being trusted with your home as well as your pets. I will only use or enter the areas of your home that are necessary for their care and will always aim to leave your home exactly as I found it. While you’re away, I’ll maintain regular contact and updates, including photos and messages as agreed, so you know how everyone is getting on without having to wonder or chase for information. I am fully insured for pet sitting and am very happy to provide a copy of my insurance documentation for your reassurance. Most importantly, I want you to be able to go away knowing that your pets are safe, comfortable and cared for by someone who will treat them, their routines and your home with respect.

I’m happy to discuss regular or occasional walks, day or overnight care. We have a fully enclosed garden, plenty of space at home, a car for visits and doggy days out.
“Ella was fantastic. She was the only one that offered a meet up as it was the first time she met us, so I found this reassuring. Willow took to her instantly. She listened well as there were a few specific instructions. Everything went well and Willow hadn’t been stressed, which I can always tell. Willow is reactive and this happened a couple of times but Ella wasn’t phased by this at all. Ella turned up on time on both occasions. Extremely pleased and will definitely be asking Ella again the next time I’m looking for a dog walker. Thank you Ella”
About: I grew up in the countryside with a large menagerie of animals and then went into pet sitting. I have several regular clients who book me on repeat every year because I provide a great level of care for their pets. Genuine animal lover and love getting out and about in the countryside with a four legged friend or 3. Fun, fresh air and snuggles guaranteed. I work from home and I'm self employed which means I'm free to go for walkies whenever it's needed and I'm always with your pet to keep them company. I have a home educated daughter who is a real animal lover and has grown up pet sitting with me since she was a few months old. We both love to get out and about in the countryside and love the company of a dog or two on our rambles. We know the area well and always seek out great dog walks and places for them to play. I have a fenced garden and a warm, cosy home where pets can hop onto the bed or sofas for cuddles. I live on the edge of the countryside so only 5 minutes walk before we reach open fields, hills and streams for playtime. I have been pet sitting for many years and always take impeccable care of their homes and pets.
About: I am a final year vet student. I have grown up with a range of animals and have worked with a rescue and rehabilitation centre since I was 15. I am first aid trained and have completed relevant behaviour and training courses. I currently have a 4 year old German shepherd/ malamute cross called bonsai, a rescue cat called Marnie, a rescue chameleon (gaius), guinea pigs (marjory and Gladys) and a hamster (goose). I am happy to look after small animals and exotics. So please send me a message if this is something you’re interested in. I am currently a final year vet student. Throughout the week I am usually free before and after uni/ work but this is flexible for middle day drops in too etc. When caring for your pet I will follow your routine and care for your pets as you would -giving them lots of care. As for dog walking, I have experience walking giant/ large breeds and small breeds. This also includes caring for confident and nervous/ reactive breeds. I can send you photos and regulate updates so you can check in with pets!
“Emma looked after our two dogs while we were away, taking them out for their daily walks or just playing with them due to the heat. This was the first time anyone outside of our family had walked them, and it was clear from the updates and photos that they had an amazing time in Emma’s care. We were kept informed every day with messages and pictures, which gave us complete peace of mind. We wouldn’t hesitate to use Emma again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable, caring, and professional pet care. Thank you, Emma!”
“Lauren was great. While we were at a wedding in a new area, she walked our dog and also popped back later to let him out for the loo again. She also popped by the evening before briefly to meet him first. She was very friendly and our dog seemed to enjoy her company and playing with her. Recommend.”
About: I grew up with two border collies. I helped care for them from pups to seniors. I don't have that many photos of me and them together or me and any pet together as I was a bit camera shy. I completely understand what it takes and how much our animals mean to us. From feeding them twice to three times a day, to the hours upon hours of walking I did with them by my side. I really learnt what it was like to care and look after pets. Young and old. I was in control of dog sledging team last winter. Competeing in races and casual sledging. I worked with my mother who fostered a puppy when our dog was senior, so I understand the difference in age and what is required with each stage of an animals life. Catering my experience to whatever stage your pet is at. I am an avid hiker and love taking dogs with me. I have been left friends dogs and cats to feed while they were away. Overall I just love animals. I am very flexible around dates and times. On an average week I will have 2-3 days i can dedicate to your pet. It will take a bit of organizing but I am sure that I can fit around your schedule. I like to listen to the pet owners about their pets, as I believe they know them best. I look to find out all i can about a dog before walks. If I am too come to your home. I like to know if the pet is on any medication. If there is any strict rules the pet follows (like not being allowed in bedrooms) after all it's the pets home. I'm just a visitor. Overall I like to get a sense of the animal and the situation I am coming into.
About: Growing up in country Australia I have been surrounded by all kinds of dogs from rescue greyhounds, senior citizens, and puppies my whole life. I have have a pooch of my own (a double doodle named Ffyn) and would love to take special care of your K9 family. I am experienced in house sitting, walking, and drop ins. I currently own a doodle puppy who would love the company of another dog, young or old. I work from home part of the week and my partner works from home full time. We live in a cottage in the countryside with easy access to beautiful forest and field walks, and have a very comfortable sofa for your pooch to relax on after a nice walk. We have a fully fenced garden and outdoor area. The house with its thick stone walls stays lovely and cool in hot weather where the dogs love to relax inside.
About: I have owned cats and horses my whole life and have dog sit on Rover for around 2 years. I have received 5* reviews from all owners. I have done walking, day care and boarding for long durations and have loved providing a safe and happy environment for every dog who has stayed. Having owned cats and horses my whole life I have a good attention to detail and make sure to cater to every pets specific needs. I am a patient and kind handler and a true animal lover. My two horses are pictured in the last slide. I am currently in my final year of studying an equine degree at Hartpury University, specialising in horse behaviour and welfare. I come home to Cheddar most weekends, when I am free to look after your pets. My weekday availability varies so please message if you have any out of hours requests and I will do my best to accommodate. I’m fortunate enough to live on a quiet private lane with a secure and gated patio and a small grass garden. We are tucked away from main roads and don’t get any through traffic. When staying overnight in my house I have the option to section off parts of my house with a baby gate or leave open the whole of downstairs which is plenty enough space for a larger dog. My house is very quiet and peaceful and so if your dog prefers a quieter environment they will be more than happy. I also have heaps of cozy blankets but please feel free to bring as many of your own as you like.
About: I started my Veterinary Nursing training when I was 18 years old and have not looked back since! I trained at an animal shelter practice and therefore have a good understanding of dogs with individual needs and temperaments. I have since qualified as an Emergency and Critical Care Nurse and now work as a Nursing Manager at a Large Veterinary Referral Hospital. I am certified in both Basic and Advanced Life Support/CPR and am happy administering all types of medications including injections. In addition to my extensive Veterinary experience I have also grown up with dogs and love to care and support them in all stages of their lives! I have been trusted by neighbours, friends, family and clients to look after their dogs before, even those with very advanced medical conditions and I am therefore comfortable caring for dogs that have a range of training and medical needs. I am passionate, fun and have a lot of love to give! If you have any questions please just get into contact and I will be happy to help! I understand trusting someone to look after your best friend and companion can be a lot, so if you want to talk things through with me regarding your pet’s individual needs, just let me know! 🐾 My schedule is currently very flexible, allowing me to provide attentive and consistent care throughout the day and adapt to your pet’s individual routine and needs. Whether your dog enjoys lots of walks and playtime, or your cat prefers a calm and relaxed environment, I can tailor my care to suit them perfectly. I am available during both weekdays and weekends and can often accommodate bespoke arrangements, medication schedules, and additional check-ins where needed. With my veterinary nursing background, I am confident caring for pets with a wide range of medical, behavioural, and emotional needs. I genuinely love spending quality time with animals, from long walks and enrichment for energetic dogs to cuddles, companionship, and gentle care for cats. My priority is always to make your pets feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you are away 🐾 We live in a detached house in Cheddar. We have a secure fenced garden with grass and patio to suite your dog’s toileting habits! And also have direct access to public footpaths which take you onto stunning open fields.

“Andre was great, he is Quick to response to any queries, great rural location with nice big enclosed garden for dogs. Sasha and Ziggy took to him straight away and both loved all the attention, thank you for having them.”
“Magnus stayed with Fraser for four nights and was well looked after. We got plenty of photo updates of nice long walks and a video of Magnus fast asleep and snoring. We know he's in good hands!”
“Linsey was a fantastic host to our Vinnie. It was very appreciated that she hosted for a day prior to a weekly stay, so he could feel settled before (and we could too, first time ever leaving with a dog sitter!). We look forward to seeing you again soon!”

“Fiona was wonderful with my little elderly dachshund He is quite anxious but Fiona took good care of him with plenty of cuddles She was very accommodating to any special requests and requirements for him I felt very comfortable leaving him in Fiona’s care I would not hesitate to have Fiona look after him again”
“Frances looked after Ruby for us overnight at very short notice, and we couldn’t have been happier with the care she provided. She was friendly, reliable, and Ruby was well looked after. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Frances to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog sitter, and we’d be delighted to book with her again in the future.”
“Zack looked after Dylan for 10 days and honestly went above and beyond. He kept in touch with me every single day with updates and photos, which made such a difference — I always felt completely reassured that Dylan was happy and settled. When Dylan came home he was super relaxed, calm, and clearly very comfortable in Zack’s care. It genuinely felt like he’d had a proper home‑away‑from‑home experience. Dylan has quite a few quirks and can be a very strong dog who gets nervous in new situations, but Zack handled everything with real experience and confidence. He understood Dylan’s personality straight away and gave him the patience, structure, and calm environment he needs. It’s not easy to find someone who can manage a dog like Dylan so well, and I’m incredibly grateful. We can’t wait to book with Zack again — highly recommended.”
“Catherine was great. Friendly and efficient, she sent lots of pics, had a good system for introducing her own, very friendly, dogs, was happy dealing with Snooks medication and appreciated his needs as an older dog. He was happy, I felt very comfortable leaving him and wouldn't hesitate to recommend.”
“Macy was absolutely fantastic with our french bulldog, Bella, while we were away on holiday for six nights. From the moment Bella stayed with her, it was clear how much love, care and attention Macy puts into looking after dogs, and we were so grateful for how warmly she welcomed Bella into her day-to-day family life rather than just “watching” her. She spent time playing with Bella, made sure she felt included and comfortable, and it was obvious that Bella was being treated like one of the family. We also really appreciated the daily updates, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away and showed just how happy and settled Bella was. Macy is kind, caring, thoughtful and clearly loves dogs, and we would not hesitate for a second to recommend her to anyone looking for a genuinely wonderful dog sitter. Thank you Macy for doing such a good job x”
“Daisy-Mae spent a night here with Lily and her family, she was well looked after and loved, walked fed and watered. Would definitely recommend Lily, the environment was very dog friendly and the family all loved to cuddle with our pup. Would definitely ask for her to stay here again 👍”
“"I cannot recommend Mollie enough! This was our first time leaving Monty this weekend. She completely put my mind at ease by sending photo and video updates. Monty can be a bit needy and anxious but was very happy and content when left. We will definitely be booking again. Thank you Mollie!”
“Kate made me feel at ease as soon as I met her. Monty took to her straight away and I wouldn't hesitate to use her services again. She kept me updated with lovely photos of Monty, who looked so happy with her and her Partner . Monty will definitely become a regular visitor !”
“We all took to Freya straightaway. She’s just lovely with both humans and dogs. Sid was very comfortable with her and Lottie her cute Pomeranian. He came back a very happy but tired dog. Sid can pull at the start of a walk when he's very excited but Freya took this in her stride and she spoiled him rotten. We will definitely be asking Freya again.”
“Magnus had a fantastic time staying with Annalie - we got frequent photo updates showing a very happy Staffy snuggled on the couch, playing, basking in the garden, and going on walks. Magnus would definitely stay with them again!”
“Benny had a fantastic little holiday. Thank you for looking after him so well. He came home feeling very happy and rested. Nick did everything he could to make Benny welcome and comfortable. Would definitely recommend.”
