“Susana was fantastic with Lottie, our miniature schnauzer. We were a bit anxious about never having left her with a sitter before. But Lottie was warmly welcomed by Suzana’s family. Suzana texted a photo to show us how relaxed Lottie was. It helped me relax and enjoy my time away knowing she was in good hands. We will use Suzan’s service again. I know we’ll need to book early as she is in demand. A kind, friendly service.”
“A very big thank you to Jo and Chris and of course Bally for taking such good care of Barney whilst we were on holiday for 10 days.

Jo and Chris are such a lovely and chilled couple who entertained and made sure Barney was very well cared for and who we would thoroughly recommend.”
About: Daily routine care for my pet rabbit and experience with cat sitting and occasional dog sitting for friends and family. I have also had various small pets previously. I’ve recently left education and am now working part-time with minimal commitments through the week so I am available for both long and short stays! I love animals and give them my full attention and respect, lots of hugs and cuddles! I’m quite active and hyper aware of my surroundings meaning that I’m always looking out for anything that would put me or the pets in harms way.

Really excellent communication, and really quick to reply, arranged a meet up prior just to confirm and make sure all was okay with the dogs getting on. Just thank you in ensuring Cooper was well looked after. He seems to have made new buddies and enjoyed his stay!”

“We couldn't recommend them more! They were absolutely incredible from start to finish and deserve 5 stars all around. Lucky had the best time with them, and it was clear he was so well cared for. They kept him active with plenty of walks, playtime, and fun activities, and it was reassuring to know that someone was always with him. Their communication was excellent throughout our booking. We received daily updates with lots of photos, so we always knew what Lucky was up to and could see how happy he was. They are such kind, genuine people, and it gave us complete peace of mind knowing Lucky was in such great hands. We will definitely be booking with them again in the future. Thank you both for taking such amazing care of Lucky!”
“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!!!”

“Lindsay has been an absolute gem to find in caring for our elderly cat.Our cat has throughly enjoyed having Lindsay caring for her and as the usual takes a while to warm up to new people in general. However, my cat warmed very quickly to Lindsay even making us look like complete frauds with how quick 😆. Lindsay, from the start was professional minded wanting to come a meet and greet our cat and us the owners. Asking general habits and routine and this was great as it was good to know who was looking after her whilst we traveled. With us being away for 10 days, we needed someone who would understand our old lady cat and felt that when talking with Lindsay around her own experiences she was a great match. During the time we were away, Lindsay kept in great contact and communicated well around our cats time with her and each time was lovely to see and know she was well cared for. Thank you Lindsay, we will certainly be having your care in the future for Puss Puss she absolute loved you caring for her 😊”
“Michelle has been absolutely wonderful in looking after my 3 month old baby girl. She is reliable, trustworthy and very good communicator who has been giving me very informative updates with pictures to make me feel relaxed knowing she’s in good hands whilst I have been away. Would 100% recommend her , I know she will be my go to sitter in future! ❤️❤️”
“Yasmin cared for our much loved cat Luna beautifully when we enjoyed a few days away recently, so much so she barely batted an eyelid on our return as she was very relaxed, unstressed, and clearly happy! Not only did Yasmin pop in and spend a bit of time with Luna before our trip she also kindly suggested spending a bit of extra time with Luna when feeding her (when timing allowed), for some extra company. Just being there in the background whilst Luna did her own thing, which was very much appreciated. Yasmin clearly understands cats well, their needs and also their personalities. There was a lot of love in the house we felt which made our trip easeful knowing she was being so well looked after and the daily photo updates were adorable! I cannot recommend Yasmin highly enough. Will book again and again for sure. Thank you Yasmin 😻”
“Katie was very friendly and gave lovely updates while I was away. She was very caring with Dobby and gave him lots of attention. She was reliable with keeping to time and adjusting to Dobby's behaviour which was great. Would definitely book again, thanks Katie!”

“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 😊”

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 😊”

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.

I do not currently own any pets in my home as its not possible due to being in a flat, but safety of any animal is so important to me. When I had my pets I ensured we had a 12ft fence put in place due to other cats and dogs being in the neighbourhood. I am very strong and aware of my surroundings so I am always looking for danger or something that could become dangerous to ensure I can move us away from the situation.

“A very big thank you to Jo and Chris and of course Bally for taking such good care of Barney whilst we were on holiday for 10 days. Barney was a very happy doggy and enjoyed having Bally as a playmate. Jo and Chris are such a lovely and chilled couple who entertained and made sure Barney was very well cared for and who we would thoroughly recommend.”
“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.”
“Lidiya was amazing! We are very impressed with how well she took care of our boys. She consistently took photos and videos of our dogs on walks, playing with their lovable puppy and sleeping and laying around the house. She took both dogs out for numerous walks. We could really tell that she loves animals and taking good care of our boys.”
“Arlo had a great little stay with Mark. Communication was excellent throughout and Mark was very accommodating. Would definitely leave Arlo again if needed. Thanks for taking great care of him.”
“Wilf, our bouncy 9 yr old bearded collie had his first day stay with Lucy and her partner on Sunday and he had a great time. Lucy kept me updated and even asked if he was allowed a specific doggy Ice Cream as a treat. Would defo be booking again! Thanks guys!”

“We couldn't recommend them more! They were absolutely incredible from start to finish and deserve 5 stars all around. Lucky had the best time with them, and it was clear he was so well cared for. They kept him active with plenty of walks, playtime, and fun activities, and it was reassuring to know that someone was always with him. Their communication was excellent throughout our booking. We received daily updates with lots of photos, so we always knew what Lucky was up to and could see how happy he was. They are such kind, genuine people, and it gave us complete peace of mind knowing Lucky was in such great hands. We will definitely be booking with them again in the future. Thank you both for taking such amazing care of Lucky!”
“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!!!”
“Kayleigh looked after Opie perfectly, he seemed so comfortable and happy - a huge breakthrough for our nervous, sensitive Springer Spaniel. She kept me updated throughout Opie's stay which made us feel at ease while we were away. We're so thankful to have found Kayleigh!”
“Brittany is great with Luna. So much so that I don't know that Luna really wanted to come home! She creates a relaxing environment for the dog while making sure she gets enough exercise and play time. Thanks again.”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and caring for them is a huge part of who I am. I currently share my home with three very different dogs: a small mixed-breed rescue, a working Cocker Spaniel, and an Alaskan Malamute, giving me hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, personalities, and energy levels. My days revolve around my dogs, from long walks and exercise to enrichment, playtime, and plenty of affection. Your dog will enjoy company, supervision, and a genuine home-from-home environment throughout their stay. I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pet, and I will care for your dog as if they were one of my own. Pet care is at the centre of my daily routine. My own dogs enjoy daily walks and outdoor adventures, and caring for them is a big part of my lifestyle. Because I’m home most of the time, I can easily adapt to a guest dog’s individual needs, whether they prefer lots of activity, a relaxed environment, or extra attention and cuddles. I’m based in Swindon and am fortunate to have access to a wide variety of fantastic walking locations, including local parks, countryside trails, woodlands, and nearby National Trust sites. This means dogs staying with me can enjoy enriching walks in safe and stimulating environments, tailored to their age, fitness level, and preferences. I don’t routinely leave dogs alone, so they receive plenty of company, exercise, and care throughout their stay. I provide a safe, comfortable, and loving home environment where dogs are treated as part of the family. I live in a spacious three-bedroom house with plenty of room for dogs to relax and settle in. I also have a fully enclosed garden, providing a secure outdoor space for supervised play, exercise, and toilet breaks. Dogs staying with me will enjoy plenty of companionship, daily walks, enrichment activities, and lots of attention throughout the day. I understand that every dog is different, so I take the time to follow their usual routines, feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any special requirements to help them feel happy and at home. My aim is to provide a safe, stress-free, home-from-home experience where owners can feel confident that their dog is being cared for just as they would be in their own home.
About: We offer a true home-from-home experience. Your dog won’t just be “looked after” – they’ll be part of our family, getting plenty of love, company, walks and care while you’re away. I work hybrid, so I’m at home a couple of days each week and available most evenings. Weekends are free, and we’re available for boarding from Friday to Sunday, which means plenty of time for walks, play, and cuddles with your dog. Dogs are part of our family and always supervised. They enjoy a calm, loving home with access to our fully fenced garden, regular walks, and plenty of attention. We follow your routines and keep you updated so you can relax knowing your dog is safe and happy.
About: I’m a lifetime dog lover, the kind of person who finds happiness cuddling a dog and they have always been my life. We have recently lost our beautiful 14 year old Springer Spaniel Charlie, so I have plenty of love to give. I rescued and fostered dogs in Cyprus, eventually adopting Jasper, the German shepherd after many health and behavioural problems, he sadly passed away a few years ago, taking a huge chunk of my heart with him. It’s the when they say they don’t give up on the hard dogs they will teach you something you never knew you needed, he taught me patience! We fostered Hugo the German Shorthaired Pointer and rescued Lexie the Cyprus mongrel from the road, finding them the most perfect home. I am a fully qualified dog groomer who owned a very successful business specialising in the dog who needed a little bit more time, love and a calm 1 to 1 environment. I’m looking to house sit and dog walk to get my fix of dogs before we adopt a retired military working dog in a few years. I work part time so I have plenty of time to look after your pets, I can house sit on weekends and can also do long weekends. I have years of experience with dogs of all sizes, I have knowledge of dog first aid and having a springer I’ve used it a lot! I’m confident with larger breeds.
“First holiday for Pippa with Alice and I think it’s safe to say Pippa had the best time! Alice kept us up to date with how Pippa was throughout the stay and included plenty of pictures and videos which was so lovely to see especially for our son ☺️ We were using Alice as a one off as our usual boarder was unavailable, however we have decided Alice will now be our main boarder. Thank you for taking such good care of our girl! ❤️”
About: I enjoy walking and I absolutely love animals. I've had plenty of experience with dogs and cats. I'm happy to learn and look after pets of any age and I will always consider their needs and make sure they are well looked after and loved. I have 2 teenagers who adore animals and love every animal we board as if they were their own pet. I work nights but I have 2 teenagers who love animals, so they can watch them and any of the animals we board normally cuddle up on the bed with one of them for the night. But I will be sure to make anyone aware of my schedule beforehand. I'm also happy to pop into homes for feeding, toileting etc also. I have a fully enclosed back garden, I have a large car that can fit a giant dog and local knowledge of places to take animals for walks. I'm responsible, caring and love animals so I will always make sure your pet is cared for completely.
About: Hi! I’m your pet’s new favourite human 🐾 I’ll be honest… I’ve always been that person who spots a dog before a human in the street. Animals have my whole heart, and I genuinely prefer their company (no offence 😄). My love for animals started when I was a little girl—I grew up riding horses and learning how to properly care for animals from a young age. Over the years I’ve had all sorts of pets of my own, including hamsters, rabbits, parrots, and dogs, so I’m very comfortable around different personalities, sizes, and needs. I’ve also got hands-on experience with a wide range of dog breeds including poodles, French bulldogs, staffies, German shepherds, and greyhounds. I’m confident working with all temperaments too, including nervous or reactive dogs, and I always take the time to build trust at their pace so they feel safe and comfortable with me. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in visit, or a cosy place to stay, I’ll treat them exactly how I treat my own—like family. That means plenty of love, attention, cuddles, and yes… they’re absolutely allowed on the sofa (and don’t be surprised if they end up sneaking onto the bed too!). I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone else. I’m a loyal and reliable person, and my top priority is always to keep your pet safe, happy, and well cared for while they’re with me. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands. And just to give you a true idea of how much of an animal lover I am—I’m the kind of person who goes on holiday to relax… but ends up spending half my time stealing meat from the all inclusive to feed the stray dogs and cats. On my last trip to Greece, I walked through pouring rain in flip flops on a mission to buy food for around 20 hotel cats (they were absolutely worth it!) At the end of the day, I don’t just “look after” pets—I genuinely care about them. Your pet will be loved, spoiled, and treated like one of my own from the moment they’re with me. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and just a little bit animal-obsessed… I’m your person 🐶🐱 I currently work for the NHS 3 days a week (usually nights) but want to do dog walking/pet visits on my days off. I am the happiest when around animals 🥰 Trust between human and dog is key, I take my time to get to know your dog and allow your dog to get to know me. I offer a free first meeting 😊
“Sophia was absolutely brilliant with Tom. The fact he was quite comfortable staying with her when we picked him up says it all. She sent us regular updates and photos via WhatsApp that really helped us manage our expectations. Thank you so much Sophia ?”
About: Are you looking for trustworthy dog boarding with someone who genuinely understands dogs? I’m an experienced dog care professional offering home-based dog boarding, day are and dog walking. I have extensive experience handling a wide range of breeds and personalities, including nervous, excitable and strong dogs. 🏡I offer dog home boarding in a calm, secure, home-from-home environment with structured routines, enrichment and plenty of individual attention. ✔️ Fully insured, licensed and pet first aid trained ✔️ Small numbers for personalised care ✔️ Experience you can trust Pet care is my full-time job (and passion), so my daily routine is completely built around the dogs staying with me. Mornings start with toilet breaks, breakfast, and a walk if that’s part of their usual routine. During the day I’m home the majority of the time, so dogs get regular walks, garden breaks, enrichment, play, and plenty of attention rather than being left alone for long periods. I try to keep every dog’s routine as close as possible to what they’re used to at home, including feeding times, walks, and sleep schedules. In the evenings we usually have another walk and relaxed time settling down. I also send regular photo updates so owners know their dog is happy and settled. Safety, structure, and clear communication are at the heart of how I care for dogs. Before any stay, I take time to understand each dog’s routine, temperament, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any medical or behavioural considerations. This allows me to keep their stay as close to home as possible and minimise stress. Because pet care is my full-time work, I’m home for the majority of the day, providing consistent supervision and companionship. Dogs receive regular toilet breaks, structured walks, enrichment, and calm rest time. I introduce dogs carefully and thoughtfully, manage feeding separately where appropriate, and ensure every dog has their own comfortable space to relax. I maintain a clean, secure environment and monitor interactions closely to keep everyone safe and happy. Owners receive regular updates and photos for peace of mind, so you’ll always know how your dog is settling in. My goal is for every dog to feel safe, relaxed, and cared for — and for every owner to feel completely confident while they’re away.
