“Was very worried as Milo’s first night away, but put at ease instantly by Rebeca and her family. Couldn’t have been in better hands, he was very settled and I got regular updates with photos and videos of him enjoying his night away. Could not recommend enough, thank you :)”
“Dexter absolutely loved Ian and Sharon who were brilliant taking care of our Miniature Dachshund. We'd highly recommend their services and will definitely book with them again.”
“This was Billy's first stay with Susana. He had a really great time. He loves to stay with other dogs, so spending time with Rocky was another positive. Susana sent lovely photos and an update every day. I can see why Susana has star sitter status. Strongly recommend!”

“Mandy is a great host. She had our dog for a week and he came back really happy and content. They were reapectful of our feeding routine and for his little habits. Would recommend her totally”
“My experience with Lidiya and her family was absolutely outstanding! While we were on holiday abroad, Lidiya and her family welcomed our beloved Honey into their home with open arms. Honey had an incredible time playing with their friendly Labrador, which made her stay even more enjoyable. Lidiya's thoughtful provision of a dog tag with her contact details gave us immense peace of mind, knowing that Honey was always safe. The lovely family house and the warm, caring environment they provided made Honey feel right at home. We received daily updates with lots of pictures, which reassured us and kept us connected with Honey throughout our trip. The consistent communication and the loving care they showed were truly exceptional. Overall, Honey had an amazing time with Lidiya and her family, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. We highly recommend Lidiya's dog sitting service to anyone seeking a reliable, caring, and thoughtful pet sitter. Thank you, Lidiya and family, for taking such wonderful care of Honey! 🐾”
“Couldn’t have asked for better care for our dog. He came back so happy and in all the photos and updates it was obvious how well looked after and loved he had been. Highly recommend!”
“Cara was absolutely amazing! We boarded our pup with her for two nights. Cara provides us consistent updates, walked our pup frequently, and sent us picture updates. I would 100% book with Cara again and put all my trust in her with my pup.”
“Rebecca and James are both so lovely! They were incredibly helpful and kept us updated throughout, which was really reassuring as this was my first time leaving Yuki with other people. They got on really well with Yuki and handled her very well, which was especially reassuring as I was worried she might be difficult to handle. Communication was great, with clear updates and quick replies. They were also very understanding and accommodating when we were delayed with the pick-up. We’re really happy with the care Yuki received and would definitely recommend them!”
“Joanna made Riley feel at home! She was well taken care of and I was kept updated on her stay, including being sent several photos of Riley! I could see that Riley felt safe and happy staying with Joanna.”
“John provided excellent care for our two dogs, Henry and Nala. His home is very dog-friendly, and he was flexible in meeting their needs. Both dogs returned happy and relaxed. I would confidently recommend John to others.”
“Great sitter! We needed someone asap, and Danieli responded quickly to my initial question, and remained communicative throughout. No problems at all, I felt like my cats were safe with her. If the need arises, I'll definitely contact her again. 😊”
About: I've been around dogs for as long as I can remember and they've always been an important part of my life. I currently have two lovely, well-behaved dogs of my own, so I understand the care, patience and attention they need to be happy and comfortable. I've also been using Rover myself for the past two years, so I know firsthand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet. Whether it's walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply sticking to their usual routine, I'll make sure your dog gets the same care and attention that I give my own dogs. I work from home most days, which gives me flexibility throughout the day and allows me to provide plenty of attention and companionship. I'm available for walks in the morning, afternoon or evening and can easily accommodate regular routines. Your dog won't be left alone for long periods and will recieve lots of care, interaction and supervision throughout the day. I have a fenced garden where dogs can safely enjoy time outdoors and two friendly dogs who are used to being around other pets. I will keep you updated with regular messages and photos for complete peace of mind.
About: I have been a dog lover my entire life and have owned and cared for dogs of all breeds, ages, personalities and sizes—from small lap dogs to much larger breeds. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and I genuinely love spending time with them, whether that means playing in the garden, enjoying a good game of fetch, giving plenty of fuss and cuddles, or simply relaxing together on the sofa. I have been providing home boarding for six years, so I understand that every dog is different. Some arrive ready to explore and play, while others need a little extra patience and reassurance before they feel settled. I take the time to learn about each dog’s personality, usual routine, likes, dislikes and individual needs so that I can help them feel safe, comfortable and completely at home. I am home throughout the day, meaning my guests receive plenty of company, attention and supervision without being left alone for long periods. I also have a huge, fully enclosed back garden where dogs can safely stretch their legs, play, sniff, explore or find a sunny spot for an afternoon snooze. My resident dog is Shelby, a wonderfully calm and chilled German Shepherd who is accustomed to sharing her home with visiting dogs. Her relaxed nature helps make my home feel welcoming, whether a guest wants a playmate or prefers to enjoy their own space. I am also first-aid trained, giving owners additional reassurance that their dog is being cared for by responsible and experienced hands. Most importantly, I understand how much trust it takes to leave a much-loved family member with somebody else. I provide the same love, patience and care that I would want for Shelby, creating a genuine home-from-home experience filled with attention, playtime, affection and plenty of wagging tails. I am home throughout the day, so my schedule is flexible and dogs receive plenty of company, attention, playtime and supervised garden time. I aim to follow each dog’s normal routine, including their usual mealtimes, exercise, rest and bedtime, helping them settle in and feel at home. I have six years of home-boarding experience and am first-aid trained. My home provides a calm, loving environment with a huge, fully enclosed back garden for safe play and exploration. Visiting dogs are carefully introduced to Shelby, my relaxed German Shepherd, and I follow every owner’s care instructions closely.
“Bailey had such a good time! They sent me photos and updates throughout his stay, which was really nice. He enjoyed himself so much he didn’t want to leave! Would definitely use them again 😊”

“Second time Yasmin has looked after our cat Luna. Cannot fault her, came home to a super chilled cat each time (a rarity in our house!), Yasmin was brilliant with her - ands with us too, sending us photos and updates. Definitely highly recommend. Thank you Yasmin, such a superstar with felines and humans alike!”
“Anna was great at looking after my cat Momo, she’s really good at “reading” a cat’s personality and interacts with them respecting their boundaries, Momo was very relaxed around her and I came home to a happy kitty. She also sent very detailed updates and photos, which is a plus! ”
“Clare is super reliable and goes above and beyond to ensure that my cats are fed and have clean litter trays while I’m away. Clare has already helped me twice and I’d recommend her to all, if you’re looking for a pet sitter 😊”
“I can’t recommend Katie highly enough. Going away and leaving Rafa has always caused me great anxiety . Having the daily updates and photos and knowing that Rafa was being looked after so well has been brilliant. I will have no hesitation in booking Katie again.”
“We had an amazing experience with Danieli while she cared for our cat during our time away. She came to our home each day and made sure our cat was well-fed, comfortable, and happy. What really stood out was the thoughtful care she provided—she sent us daily photo updates, which gave us so much peace of mind and helped us feel connected even while we were away. On top of that, she went above and beyond by offering to water our plants without us even asking. It’s clear she truly cares and takes pride in doing an excellent job. We came home to a relaxed cat and a house that looked just as we left it. Highly recommend Danieli to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and detail-oriented pet sitter. We’ll definitely be reaching out again next time we travel!”

About: A Lifetime of Experience: From energetic puppies and playful kittens to pocket-sized small animals, I have spent my entire life raising, loving, and understanding animals of all shapes and sizes. As a retired professional and lifelong animal lover, I have dedicated this chapter of my life to providing the highest level of care, comfort, and companionship to your furry family members. Animals have been the joy of my life, and my home has never been without dogs, cats, and various small pets. Because I am retired, pet sitting isn’t a side hustle for me—it is my full-time passion. When I care for your pets, they get my 100% undivided attention, love, and devotion. True 24/7 Companionship: I do not leave for an outside office job. I will be in your home around the clock, meaning your pets maintain their normal routines and never have to feel lonely. I tailor my day to ensure they feel safe, secure, and thoroughly spoiled while you are away. I will treat your home with the utmost respect and your fur babies as if they were my very own. I can't wait to meet them!
About: We’ve always had cats at home so from a young age I’ve had experience of caring for them. Over the years I’ve cared for kittens and elderly cats, cats who have hidden sudden illnesses or chronic conditions. I’m used to giving medicine with pills or into the mouth, and even learned to use an inhaler for an asthmatic cat. My current feline friends are mother and daughter. Mum moved in after I lost my first cat, she gave birth a few weeks later and I had the privilege of cutting the umbilical cords and carefully managing their upbringing. I often cat sit for friends and seem to build a bond quite quickly with other cats. They say cats have servants, I respect this and will always do my best home from home service for anyone’s feline friends.
About: Cats have been a big part of my life since childhood, and over the years my family and I have cared for and helped many stray and rescued cats. I’m comfortable around different personalities, from affectionate and playful cats to shy or independent ones who need patience and space. During drop-in visits, I’ll carefully follow your cat’s normal routine, including feeding, refreshing water, cleaning the litter tray, playtime, giving attention and company, or simply spending some quiet time with them if that’s what they prefer. I understand that cats can be sensitive to changes in their environment and routine, so I’ll always approach them patiently and let them interact at their own pace. I’m also happy to send photos and updates after each visit, so you can feel reassured that your cat is happy and being well cared for while you’re away. 🐾
“Sophie and Tamzin looked after my cat Luna this weekend whilst I was away. We did a meet beforehand which really put me at ease! Sophie sent us pictures and updates - Luna was super chilled and happy. I asked last minute if they could drop in again as turned out I would be back later than I thought and they were really accommodating. Can’t fault the service at all and will definitely rebook in the future. Thank you both!! 🐾”
“Natacha was amazing in the lead up to looking after my two cats ensuring she knew everything that they needed. She took care of my cats and my flat exceptionally. She regularly sent me pictures of both of them and it made my trip away better knowing that I was leaving my cats in safe hands with Natacha.”

“She and her family are very friendly for us. My dog usually doesn't like to interact with other dogs, but she was showing interest in this family's dog. It's a sign that she's very relaxed. I would like to ask them to day care again!”
“Alex was brilliant she looked after our 9month Springador for a 12hr day with no issues . She updated me with pictures and when I picked him up he was happy and knackered . Fed , watered ,walked and played ...what more could a pup want ☺️”
“Mark looked after our puppy Emrys for the day. It’s such a relief to be able to leave Emrys with someone we were able to trust straight away. It’s evident Mark loves animals and we felt Emrys got the best care.”
“Natalia and her partner had Benny for a few hours to test how they’d both get on and from the pics and updates, it looks like he had a great time. Communication has been great and quick/detailed replies to messages have been super reassuring. Benny will likely be doing a full day with them asap and I bet he will be very excited to see them both ☺️”
About: Hi, Ours names are Wilson and Georgia. We don’t have dogsitting experience, but we have been loving dog parents for years. Our rescue Rufus lived to 17, which sadly died of cancer. And we now have Bud who is just over 4. We have always loved dogs, but we are a little biased towards Jack Russels. We have trained Bud from a puppy. Everyone who meets him says he is a nicely tempered dog and has a happy demeanour. However, he does love to bark to let us know someone is coming to the door. We both work part time and im currently working from home. We will have plenty of time for your little one. We can also give them as many walks as they need. We have a big fenced garden where they can sun bathe if they enjoy it. The house is cool if they struggle with the heat. They will also have Bud as a friend to keep them company. If you need a crate I have a big one available which we used to puppy train Bud. We are happy for them to be as comfortable as they want to be.
“Mandy and her husband are great and so attentive to our dog when he goes there. You can always tell when a dog is relaxed and he runs in amd doesn't look back and is content when we pick him up. Fully recommended”
“Fritz our beagle had a lovely day! Made to feel very welcome and given the run of the large house and garden, and he was given toys to play with. He was taken on a couple of walks and we were sent photos and updates. Definitely recommend and we are already booking another day.”
“Duggee had a brilliant time. It was his first Doggy Day Care.... Joanna and Chris made his stay very comfortable and welcoming. Duggee had a blast with Ballie their lovely pup...running round the garden and going on a lovely walk. I highly recommend both Joanna and Chris to look after your fur babies . Definitely would let Duggee stay again.”
“Sigita did a great job of looking after our puppy Cookie, and went above and beyond to help us out. Great communication with updates and photos. would recommend and book again”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 5 years and genuinely love spending time with them. During this time I’ve looked after dogs of different breeds, sizes, and personalities, so I understand that every dog has their own needs and routine. I’m patient, attentive, and always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and happy while their owners are away. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, feeding, or just giving them plenty of attention and cuddles, I treat every dog like they’re my own. I’m also reliable and responsible, and I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully to make sure your pet gets the best possible care. I work from home 3 days a week and then the other two days I do volunteer work local to wear I live so am able to come back a fourth through out the day. I walk everyday so always love when I have some company. I have a spacious flat where your dog can feel at home. I do not have a garden but am near lots of fields so we’d have plenty of places to walk too.

“My dog was nervous after leaving our home and his brother Charlie behind and moving with me following a divorce. He was weary of Chelsea on her own in the house at first, but she soon gained his trust by spending extra time with him and he was out on his walk with her in no time! Thank you Chelsea for persisting, for being so kind and for taking extra time to build Kenzos trust. You're part of the pack now! And we feel very lucky to have found somebody as kind, caring and great with animals as Chelsea is 😊”

“Zascha took great care of our dogs. I was happy to see she was taking precautions during the heatwave to make sure the dogs were safe. She also took care of our house and followed my instructions to the letter. I would recommend Zascha without any hesitation.”
“Dani came over the weekend to walk my dog Billy, feed him and spend some time with him whilst I was away. It was my first time using the app as well, so I was unsure of how things worked. She was lovely, always happy to explain next steps and answered promptly to all my questions. She was very reassuring, made me comfortable to contact at any time if needed and was very flexible to mine and Billy's needs. Billy absolutely loved her and did not want her to leave. He was a very happy and healthy boy when I got home and Dani made the process as anxiety-free as possible. I will definitely book Dani again because it was such a good experience and would recommend her to anyone with a fury baby 😊”
About: I have over 6 years’ experience living with and caring for dogs in a family home and regularly look after my parents’ dog in my own home. I’ve also helped care for pets for family and friends, including feeding, walks, playtime and keeping to their usual routines. I genuinely enjoy being around animals and understand that every pet is different. My home is already well set up for pets and I know how important it is for owners to feel comfortable knowing their pet is safe, happy and well looked after while they’re away. I am mostly available for boarding and sitting over the weekend but my partner also works from home and has flexible working arrangements during the week and would be able to look after a pet from our home where needed or come and visit your pet to let them out for loo breaks and take them for walks. My partner and I dog sit frequently at my own home so the house is safe and well equipped for dog/pet sitting. There is nothing particularly fancy I would be concerned about a pet damaging we have been used to all kinds of messes. The house is locked, there is plenty of clear floor space and we have a sizable fully fenced off garden that a dog can be let outside freely without need for close monitoring. I am confident dog sitting in other homes also, being responsive to any mess, leaving the home in good condition and making sure the owners dog or cat is looked after and feels relaxed.
“Lindsey walked our two dogs, one of whom is a 40kgs, reactive, rescue, for 17 days straight whilst we were abroad. Lindsey took the initiative and time to come and meet us prior to our trip and walked the dogs with me and independently to get to know the dogs and their quirks! Lindsey was responsive, reliable, caring, attentive, patient and loving with both our dogs and took a particular shine to our troublesome rescue. I felt reassured that both our dogs were in great hands, allowing us to relax and not worry about them whilst we were away. I would highly recommend Lindsey and am looking forward to booking with her again.”

About: I opened my pet services business 4 years ago, it was the best thing I ever did! Specialising in group walks in a safe and secure environment. Meaning dogs of all recall ability can socialise and run around with no worry of them running off. Also offering overnight pet care and pop ins for all types of animals. I own a pet care business so my daily and weekly routine literally revolves around other people’s pets. If your dog is friendly with others they are more than welcome to join me on my group walks to minimise time alone. I never leave a dog longer than 4 hours alone and will pop back for toilet breaks etc. I offer pet sitting in the owners home, therefore everything for your dog stays the same. I will follow a set routine if your pet has one and offer the same boundaries that you do for your pet.
“I needed someone to look after my Westie at the last minute and Cara was great at accommodating me. He loved his time with Cara, playing lots and going on nice walks which really helped me feel less stressed, knowing he was happy. He will definitely be spending more time with Cara when I'm busy.”
About: I've grown up with animals in the family which has been a wonderful & enriching experience. Whether it's a dog, cat or any other animal, they teach important life lessons, such as responsibility, empathy and companionship. The animals I've grown up with range from Staffordshire Bull Terriers, German Shepards, Small Crossbreed type dogs such as a Jackapoo & Cats! I've looked after my families animals when they’ve jet off on holiday - fed them, gave medication when/ if needed, provided lots of loving and long walks and dog washing/ brushing. I understand all animals have difference wants/ needs so I'm able to adapt to your animal making sure they get all the love & care you always provide them yourself. I’m free in the evenings in the week and most weekends. If pet sitting in your home I can be free whenever, I can be flexible when needed. The style of pet sitting I'm providing is sitting them in your homes and taking them for walks from and to your home (due to not having a garden myself). I drive and have a car which I'm happy for your pets to travel in if needed.

About: Taken care of a lab and a spaniel so can handle an older more relaxed dog, as well as a smaller more energetic one and know how to keep up I currently work from home so can provide company throughout the day as well as walks before and after work as well as lunch breaks Fenced yard, locked house and the back gate is also locked. Own 1 cat so will need to be a cat friendly dog, but lots of pet experience
About: I’ve always dreamt of owning a dog but while that dream awaits I have occupied myself with family and friend’s dogs. From a young age I’ve always been interested in learning about animals I would read every animal book i saw, watch all the tv shows on national geographic and the kid channels from shows like Deadly 60 to Crickey it’s the Irwins. I always had different pets from tadpoles and guinea pigs to rabbits and birds and I had the best experience looking after my cat Benji but dog walks are my favourite as I enjoy getting active with them by running and chasing or playing fetch or tug. Prices can be adapted just drop a message. Payment can be rearranged via Paypal or Cash in hand. I’m available daily for house visits and dog walks. Happy to do one night house sits but two plus nights preferred if outside service area.

“My experience with Lidiya and her family was absolutely outstanding! While we were on holiday abroad, Lidiya and her family welcomed our beloved Honey into their home with open arms. Honey had an incredible time playing with their friendly Labrador, which made her stay even more enjoyable. Lidiya's thoughtful provision of a dog tag with her contact details gave us immense peace of mind, knowing that Honey was always safe. The lovely family house and the warm, caring environment they provided made Honey feel right at home. We received daily updates with lots of pictures, which reassured us and kept us connected with Honey throughout our trip. The consistent communication and the loving care they showed were truly exceptional. Overall, Honey had an amazing time with Lidiya and her family, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. We highly recommend Lidiya's dog sitting service to anyone seeking a reliable, caring, and thoughtful pet sitter. Thank you, Lidiya and family, for taking such wonderful care of Honey! 🐾”

“Cara was absolutely amazing! We boarded our pup with her for two nights. Cara provides us consistent updates, walked our pup frequently, and sent us picture updates. I would 100% book with Cara again and put all my trust in her with my pup.”
“Rebecca and James are both so lovely! They were incredibly helpful and kept us updated throughout, which was really reassuring as this was my first time leaving Yuki with other people. They got on really well with Yuki and handled her very well, which was especially reassuring as I was worried she might be difficult to handle. Communication was great, with clear updates and quick replies. They were also very understanding and accommodating when we were delayed with the pick-up. We’re really happy with the care Yuki received and would definitely recommend them!”

About: I have been a dog lover my entire life and have owned and cared for dogs of all breeds, ages, personalities and sizes—from small lap dogs to much larger breeds. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and I genuinely love spending time with them, whether that means playing in the garden, enjoying a good game of fetch, giving plenty of fuss and cuddles, or simply relaxing together on the sofa. I have been providing home boarding for six years, so I understand that every dog is different. Some arrive ready to explore and play, while others need a little extra patience and reassurance before they feel settled. I take the time to learn about each dog’s personality, usual routine, likes, dislikes and individual needs so that I can help them feel safe, comfortable and completely at home. I am home throughout the day, meaning my guests receive plenty of company, attention and supervision without being left alone for long periods. I also have a huge, fully enclosed back garden where dogs can safely stretch their legs, play, sniff, explore or find a sunny spot for an afternoon snooze. My resident dog is Shelby, a wonderfully calm and chilled German Shepherd who is accustomed to sharing her home with visiting dogs. Her relaxed nature helps make my home feel welcoming, whether a guest wants a playmate or prefers to enjoy their own space. I am also first-aid trained, giving owners additional reassurance that their dog is being cared for by responsible and experienced hands. Most importantly, I understand how much trust it takes to leave a much-loved family member with somebody else. I provide the same love, patience and care that I would want for Shelby, creating a genuine home-from-home experience filled with attention, playtime, affection and plenty of wagging tails. I am home throughout the day, so my schedule is flexible and dogs receive plenty of company, attention, playtime and supervised garden time. I aim to follow each dog’s normal routine, including their usual mealtimes, exercise, rest and bedtime, helping them settle in and feel at home. I have six years of home-boarding experience and am first-aid trained. My home provides a calm, loving environment with a huge, fully enclosed back garden for safe play and exploration. Visiting dogs are carefully introduced to Shelby, my relaxed German Shepherd, and I follow every owner’s care instructions closely.

“Bailey had such a good time! They sent me photos and updates throughout his stay, which was really nice. He enjoyed himself so much he didn’t want to leave! Would definitely use them again 😊”
“Tara & Sam are wonderful! From the moment I saw their profile I knew it was a perfect match for Stan - after an upsetting stay in kennels a year ago we have been nervous about leaving him but we really didn’t need to worry! Perfect amount of updates and pictures - we were put at ease instantly. Stan was super happy to see us, but definitely not stressed or relieved, he has clearly been showered with love!! We are so relieved to have found someone we can trust with Stan! Highly recommend!!!”
