It was the first time ive ever left a pooch anywhere and Lucy really put my mind at ease.. We met prior to the booking date to ensure cookie was comfortable and both parties were happy with the plan, all my worries and questions were answered and cookie seemed at easy with the family immediately... I was provided regular pictures and updates whilst away and will definitely be using Lucy for future sitting requirements.. highly recommend 👌”

She truly is spoilt when she there which is so lovely to see especially when i come and pick her up as this is what she gets a home. Thank you so much for the service and the update with photos and videos of zulu first time trying the car and the beach. You guys are truly outstanding and love the fact that you guys get to enjoy spending time with Zulu and enjoy her just like i do ❤️”
“Lisa was incredible with Norman, taking him on lots of exciting new walks/parks and keeping us updated regularly with photos! We know Norman had an amazing time, and we had a lovely weekend away fully trusting he was in good hands. Would definitely recommend, thank you again!!”
“Another fantastic day for Ethel with Sophie, she always comes back so well looked after and I’m sure she’s already looking forward to her next visit. Would highly recommend Sophie.”
“I was worried about Winston going away as he rarely goes anywhere. Mark and Fee allowed us to visit first and made me feel far more relaxed and reassured. Winston was more than happy to stay with them and calm and happy when we picked him up. They updated me to let me know he was ok. Highly recommended, thanks Mark”
“Where do I start from being really worried about leaving our boy for the first time to then seeing all the pictures and texts from Joanne seeing how happy he is and chilled made us feel so much more relaxed. Ted had the best time here he was treated to his own 5 star holiday we would definitely recommend Joanne and her husband Ted will be returning thankyou so very much 🤗.. xx”
“I am so grateful to Petrina for the wonderful care she gave my mini poodle cross during her 11 night stay. I was looking for a special holiday home for Willow and I certainly found it with Petrina and Tilley. Petrina sent regular updates and photos during Willow’s stay that left me in no doubt that she was receiving the same level of love and attention she receives at home. Willow came home from her holiday relaxed and happy. I would recommend Petrina as a carer without hesitation and hope to book Willow in for a stay when we next go away.”
“Stacey was such an amazing sitter! Arya was so happy when we picked her up. Stacey gave us lots of updates and pictures, gave Arya toys and plenty of fun walks. We felt so safe and reassured that Arya was in a loving family home. I would highly recommend Stacey and her family again! 🐾”
“Couldn't recommend Amber highly enough; she kept us up to date with daily messages and pictures, was extremely flexible with pick up and drop off times, and our dog had a great time. Will definitely be booking again in the future.”
“Tracie and Sarah are incredible. They were amazing with my puppy Dotty. There were patiant with her and really looked after her as if she were their own. I had regular updates through messages and photos. And was a home away from home for Dotty. I will be using Tracie and Sarah again when I need to. Thank you guys sooo much”
“It had been a while since our boys last had a sleepover at Alison's. The boys were absolutely fine. They remembered Alison and her place well. Alison provides a calm, quiet and stress-free environment which we appreciate very much. She is also well-organised. She is a keen walker and a massive dog lover - couldn't be a better combination. Thanks Alison. Until next time. X”
“I would give Nikita and her partner more than 5 stars if I could, to evidence how grateful we are for the seriously top notch care they showed our dogs while boarding them. Our dogs were clearly very well cared for, exercised, and given lots of affection which is more than we could have expected as this was their first time with Nikita. As our dogs have never been boarded, we were really nervous about how it would go but we were instantly put at ease when we met Nikita in her home on short notice. It also helps that our dogs took to her immediately, and seemed really happy in her presence. Nikita and her partner boarded our two (rather boisterous) dogs for two days. We were sent regular updates and photos, and Nikita was always responsive when contacted. They were also extremely accommodating when we were delayed in picking our dogs up which was very appreciated. They went out of their way to show our dogs a great time. Nikita was very professional and thorough in her prep, asking us all the relevant and necessary questions which no doubt comes from a place of significant experience caring for animals. Big bonus is Nikita's love for rescue animals! She and her partner are complete naturals and they made us feel like our dogs had a second home when we were away. We will no doubt reach out to her without hesitation the next time we need someone to care for our dogs, and strongly recommend her to anyone else looking for a safe, comfortable boarding experience for their animals. A big thank you to Nikita and her partner!”
“Charlotte did a fantastic job at looking after Smudge while we were away for a few weeks over Christmas. We were kept updated with pictures and info letting us know how he was getting on as this was the first time we had left him with someone else, but I can safely say we would definitely use Charlotte again! Highly recommended.”
“Hannah & Jordan are absolutely fantastic with our old boy Murphy. They take him for lovely walks and dips in the water. He goes straight in when he's dropped off which shows us how comfortable and happy he is. It fills us with so much confidence knowing he is relaxed & settled. We can leave him and not have to worry as we know he is in the best hands! His next stay with Hannah & Jordan is already booked!!”
“Victoria looked after our dog Otto this weekend. He has stayed with her once before and always has the best time! It's so nice for us to see Otto excited to see Victoria again and for us to be able to relax knowing that he is being well looked after.”
“A home from home. Dale and Scott looked after Fergus like he was their own. They gave Fergus lots of love, cuddles and belly rubs. Their outside space is safe and secure and location is perfect for long safe walks off lead. We were sent regular photo updates of Fergus’s sleepover and fun he was having out and about.”
“Lucy has been nothing except amazing with my nervous Cavvie. She has also been incredible, making this whole process stress free and easy. Thank you Lucy, we’ll be seeing you soon ❤️”
“Harriet really helped us out of a tight jam super last minute. We’d had a mix up with our normal kennel just 2 days before we were due to go on holiday for a week and she responded to our plea immediately. The dogs loved their time with her, she gave us regular updates and photos and it was clear how much care she took of our two dogs whilst they were with her. Nice long walks, beaches, cuddles they had a blast. She was even kind enough to collect and drop them off, and she shampooed them before returning. Couldn’t have asked for more! Highly recommend! Would happily use Harriet’s services again xx”
“Abby was so lovely and amazing with Norman! We felt really at ease leaving him with her, and got some great photos of him having the best time. Would definitely recommend, thanks so much Abby!”

About: Hi, I’m a 25-year-old trainee teacher with a big love for adventure, problem-solving, and the outdoors. For the past five years I’ve been travelling and working on farms, picking up practical skills, meeting brilliant people, and collecting more muddy boots than I’d like to admit. I even worked as an animal handler in a Dubai veterinary clinic for a year. When I’m not studying or teaching, you’ll usually find me somewhere remote, out on the moors, swimming in cold water, hiking, or camping under the stars. I’m also completely obsessed with sudoku and any maths-based puzzles. No matter where I’ve lived for the past 15 years, I’ve been sharing my space with some sort of feline. I’m not sure if I attract them or vice versa, but I loved them all nonetheless. I’m easy-going, reliable, and happiest when I’m learning something new or exploring somewhere beautiful

“Sophie was fantastic, we came home to two very happy and well looked after cats. Sophie spent the full time with the cats, playing with them and making sure they had access to food, plenty of water and clean litter. We really appreciated the visit before so Sophie could meet the cats, get to know them and where everything is. Sophie was really flexible to accommodate our request and sent us lots of lovely photos and updates so we were able to properly relax whilst we were away.”

I’ve cared for both indoor and outdoor cats and am familiar with the differences in their routines, safety considerations, and enrichment needs. I also have a solid understanding of dietary requirements, from standard feeding routines to more specific nutritional needs, as well as basic medical care, including administering medication and recognising when a cat may need veterinary attention. Above all, I aim to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment where every cat feels comfortable and well cared for.

“Millie was so good and kept us fully informed and sent us Lovely Photos too. What a really Nice Girl and Billy appeared to enjoy the attention he got from her.

“Bryony took very good care of our three cats. She ensured that they were fed and watered and kept us updated on how they were. Bryony is a very friendly and pleasant person to deal with. We would thoroughly recommend her. (And as first time app users we found the system of notifications to be very good).”
“We booked Rebecca to look after our dog as we were going to be out for a prolonged period of time. She came over to the house the day before for a meet and greet and we could instantly tell she’s an animal lover and a natural with dogs. She was very friendly and professional, asking all the right questions. We booked a dog walk and then a sit in the house later on, and she went above and beyond to keep us updated with her movements and sent lots of photos and videos throughout. Our dog Herb had the most wonderful time and she was so tired and chilled when we got back after playing all day with her new friends (Rebecca’s two dogs that she met). We will most definitely be using Rebecca again and can’t recommend her enough.”
About: I have cared for friends' and families' dogs long term in their own homes. I especially love to play and take dogs for long walks. I am self employed and can schedule work myself which allows for flexibility with pet sitting and walking times. Overnight sitting is possible on request. I live in a quiet hamlet of houses surrounded by woodland and fields and 15min drive from the beach perfect for walks and play with other dogs (if your dog is social). If sitting in your home I am most respectful and can take the dog familiar places and routes if required.

“Otis had his first daycare visit with Lisa yesterday. We had previously met for a meet and greet where Otis met Lisa's dog Angus. Otis was happy to be left with Lisa and had a great time. He was a very tired boy last night and was dreaming lots so it shows he had good fun. We felt very comfortable leaving our boy with Lisa and didn't worry once, we had regular updates and photos which was also reassuring. We are using Lisa again later in the year for a long weekend and feel happy knowing he is in safe hands.”
“As we live in a quiet village it was lovely to leave Frank for dog-sitting in such a rural location. Mark and Fee obviously love dogs and were very welcoming. Frank was very happy when we picked him up and obviously enjoyed his long walk. Would definitely have no worries leaving Frank for a longer stay (if they would have him back!)”
“Scout had the best day staying with Sophie. She played all day with Spencer. Sophie is a fantastic host, reliable, efficient and nothing was too much trouble. I would highly recommend her. She sent brilliant photos and video of Scouts stay.”
“We met victoria last week in the park with our Siberian husky last week and he then went to Victoria's for the first time yesterday. Victoria was so good with leo and sending us photos of there day together will definitely be using victoria again for our boisterous husky. Thank you so much Leo was shattered”
“Absolutely bloody marvelous. Amazing communication throughout the process, and kept our puppy busy and having loads of fun throughout the whole day. Photos of his day were of really high quality, and it was possible to see he was very much enjoying himself throughout. 10,000% will use again!”
“Altogether a fantastic experience. Georgie provided excellent care for our lovely girls. Nala was an excellent friend to our doggies too. We couldn't be more pleased and would strongly recommend Georgie to any dog owners looking for pet care. Thank you so much.”
“Amber was fantastic with my two spaniels. They have been away from us before, but Amber settled them down no problem. Even sent us photos throughout the day. Highly recommend👍”
“Having never used Rover before, I was a bit nervous, but Daryl quickly put me at ease. He’s been fantastic at reassuring me and sends detailed updates after each of Flossy’s visits. It’s clear from the way he cares for his own dog, Cooper, that Floss is in very safe and loving hands. She’s looking forward to building a new friendship with both Cooper and Daryl.”
“Thanks for taking great care of Charlie whilst he had a poorly foot after running into a tree on the evening before his stay. We managed to get a vet appointment in the evening after his stay and he ended up having nail surgery! He's now on the mend and we will be planning future dog-sitting soon. Thanks again for caring for him whilst he was limpy.”
“Joanne was great communicating and organising the plan for the day. Finn had lots of fun and felt really comfortable with her. He is now having a nice sleep after his day out, will definitely be asking Joanne to look after him again.”
“Leoni sat our dog for the day whilst we visited Cornwall. She was highly accommodating, personable and he absolutely loved his time with her (in fact, I’m not sure he wanted to come home). I’d definitely recommend her without hesitation. Thank you ☺️”
“David and Kayleigh did a brilliant job looking after Tala. We'd met for a short walk beforehand and Tala took to them both immediately. When I dropped her off, she happily trotted into their house. Communication was brilliant and Tala looked happy and settled when I picked her up. She had been spoilt with cuddles and attention and I'm sure she'll be delighted to go back for her next stay :-) Thank you both very much!!”

“Bridget was fabulous throughout! We were visiting Plymouth for a family funeral so didn’t really know what to expect. We had several communications before our dogs stayed, which put our minds at rest. Bridget was quick to respond to messages and keen to help. She also gave us regular updates and videos through the day. We couldn’t have asked for better care. I would thoroughly recommend Bridget and will definitely book again when we’re down in Plymouth. Thank you from Izzy and Jet too 🦮🐕🦺🐾”

She came back to me happy and relaxed, thank you Sam!”
“Thanks for entertaining 'Charlie' the three-year-old collie for the day Tegan. He really likes to be with humans, so it was a real relief not to have him sat at home alone all day!

“Sophie is a wonderfully friendly, kind and confident young lady with lots of experience and compassion. Wolfie is a big (35kg) very strong boy who, I'm sorry to say, is a pain on the lead, so I was very nervous about getting a walker to take him out whilst my Mum (nearly 70) looked after him for the week. Sophie was amazing, from our initial meeting to introduce her to Wolfie, he loved her and seemed very happy to be around her. She was confident with him and very loving. My mum fed back to me that, Wolfie was always happy to go with Sophie and came back from his walks tired, happy and satisfied. Sophie kept in touch with me via the app, posting info and lots of lovely photos of my boy having fun, and was intouch with my Mum regularly to confirm pick up times etc...Sophie also accessed the house to collect and return Wolfie on a couple of occasions when my Mum was out, without any issue or concerns. I came home from my week away, to a happy health dog and I will certainly be calling on Sophie to look after my boy, for work trips and holidays in future.”

About: My experience with just dealing with pets is having my own animals from young. I've had fish, hamster, guinea pigs and dogs. My first dog was a rescued Boxer, Ruben. My first proper puppy was a Pug, Dexter, then we rescued Alfie another Pug at the same age as Dexter (around 4yrs.) My house sitting and pet experience was living in an annexe above my landladys garage. She had a working cocker, Zeva. She'd trust me with looking after her house and Zeva while she had to go away for work or on holiday. That was over 2yrs of me living there. I even took Zeva away with my boyfriend and I as we went to Bournemouth for a weekend I was looking after her. We got a pet friendly accomodation and she had the best time on the beach and in the sea playing with her ball. I work 3 days a week, so have plenty of time for sitting and walking pets. I like to walk daily, so dog walking is well suited with my lifestyle. I care for pets in an owners home by communicating with the owners in the first instance to see what responsibilities they expect of their sitter to make sure their animals are in perfect care.
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by animals from the very start, especially dogs and cats. My dad and stepmum had a busy and loving home with eight dogs—mostly rescues—and five cats, all of different breeds including Staffys, a Lurcher, Bulldog, Jack Russell, Sheepdog, Shar Pei, and a Border Terrier. It was a full house, but it taught me so much about animal care, behaviour, and the unique personalities each pet brings. Although my mum didn’t allow dogs at her house, I begged for years—until one day I was handed a puppy training book after school, and I knew something was up. Sure enough, I got home to meet my very first dog, who’s still going strong at nearly 16 years old. I’ve always had a deep love for animals—more than for people, if I’m honest—and I seem to click with every dog I meet. So you can rest assured your furry family member will be in kind, caring, and capable hands with me. As a dedicated dog sitter, I offer a range of engaging and caring activities to keep your furry friend happy, healthy, and safe while you’re away. I provide regular walks tailored to your dog’s energy level, playtime to keep them mentally and physically stimulated, and plenty of cuddle time for comfort and companionship. I also ensure they stick to their feeding schedule, administer any necessary medications, and can practice basic training commands if requested. Whether it’s a visit to a nearby dog park, a game of fetch in the yard, or simply relaxing together at home, I strive to make sure your dog feels loved and well-cared-for in your absence. I currently work full-time on a rotating shift pattern, but I have the flexibility to adjust my schedule with enough notice. If no changes are needed, my typical rota is as follows: Week 1 – I work 12-hour shifts on Monday, Tuesday, Saturday, and Sunday, with Wednesday to Friday off. Week 2 – I’m off Monday and Tuesday, and work 12-hour shifts from Wednesday to Friday, with the weekend off. This routine allows for plenty of availability throughout the week, and I’m more than happy to make adjustments where possible to accommodate your pet care needs. I currently live on my own in a small, cosy flat that’s actually joined to my family’s house, so while I have my own space, there’s always someone around nearby. I don’t have any pets living with me at the moment—mine are with my parents—but I truly miss the company of animals. Any dog staying with me would be treated like part of the family and have full freedom to relax and enjoy the space. My flat is pet-friendly, and I live right next to a field, so toilet breaks and walks are quick and easy. Honestly, I think I’d enjoy the companionship just as much as they would!
About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and care I give every dog as if they were my own. With a calm home, an active daily routine, and plenty of one-on-one attention, I create a safe, happy environment where dogs feel relaxed and loved. I’m reliable, flexible, and treat every dog’s unique needs with care and patience—because they deserve nothing less As someone who works from home and enjoys an active lifestyle, pet sitting fits perfectly into my routine. I start each day with a walk, so having a dog by my side just makes it better! I’m out and about often—whether it’s longer walks, playtime in the garden, or just cosy company while I work. Your dog gets lots of attention, exercise, and love throughout the day, and I get a happy little shadow to share it with. They will also have a lovely little friend to play with, my spaniel Max. In my home, dogs are treated like part of the family. They’ll enjoy a large, secure garden for playtime and fresh air, plus the company of my friendly dog for socialising and companionship. I keep their routine consistent—whether it’s feeding, walks, or quiet time—and offer a calm, loving space where they can feel completely at ease. Your pup will get plenty of attention, exercise, and cuddles, and I’ll keep you updated with regular photos and messages so you know they’re happy and safe.
About: I grew up with a variety of animals- dogs, cats, chickens, geese, ducks, donkeys, horses, rabbits, Guinea pigs and even pet sheep and goats! Because of this, I am a vegetarian who loves all animals as i realised at a very early age that they are all sentient beings. I walk my 2 rescued Malinois 3 hours daily, and when I am out of the country, I leave them in the loving care of my mother. I’m currently working remotely, and occasionally I work around the world on super yachts, so I have my own schedule and can work my life around it. I am a very safety conscious person and will always make sure that an animal is safe from dangers, and looked after like a child! (They are our fur babies after all!!!) The loving them is just the added bonus!
About: Taken care of dogs my whole life; I am now I’m a Police Officer aspiring to become a Police Dog Handler. The combination of my caring and responsible nature with my passion for dogs makes me a good choice for taking your dog. I work on a rolling shift pattern working 4 days on & 4 days off a week. I therefore have lots of free time, just have to organise in advance:) I would take care of your pet at all times when it is in my care. I don’t will aim to have all vet details incase of emergencies and u will always be available to get in contact with.
About: I have cared for friends' and families' dogs long term in their own homes. I especially love to play and take dogs for long walks. I am self employed and can schedule work myself which allows for flexibility with pet sitting and walking times. Overnight sitting is possible on request. I live in a quiet hamlet of houses surrounded by woodland and fields and 15min drive from the beach perfect for walks and play with other dogs (if your dog is social). If sitting in your home I am most respectful and can take the dog familiar places and routes if required.

“It had been a while since our boys last had a sleepover at Alison's. The boys were absolutely fine. They remembered Alison and her place well. Alison provides a calm, quiet and stress-free environment which we appreciate very much. She is also well-organised. She is a keen walker and a massive dog lover - couldn't be a better combination. Thanks Alison. Until next time. X”
“Charlotte did a fantastic job at looking after Smudge while we were away for a few weeks over Christmas. We were kept updated with pictures and info letting us know how he was getting on as this was the first time we had left him with someone else, but I can safely say we would definitely use Charlotte again! Highly recommended.”
“Hannah & Jordan are absolutely fantastic with our old boy Murphy. They take him for lovely walks and dips in the water. He goes straight in when he's dropped off which shows us how comfortable and happy he is. It fills us with so much confidence knowing he is relaxed & settled. We can leave him and not have to worry as we know he is in the best hands! His next stay with Hannah & Jordan is already booked!!”

“A home from home. Dale and Scott looked after Fergus like he was their own. They gave Fergus lots of love, cuddles and belly rubs. Their outside space is safe and secure and location is perfect for long safe walks off lead. We were sent regular photo updates of Fergus’s sleepover and fun he was having out and about.”

“I honestly cannot recommend Millie and Sam enough!! Morris stayed with them for the weekend and I felt completely at ease the whole time. They kept in touch throughout with updates and lovely photos which made me feel so reassured that he was happy and being well looked after. I could tell that they genuinely cared about Morris and he had the best time. Sam even came and picked him up and dropped him back which made everything so easy and stress free for me. They made me feel so comfortable leaving him and I trusted them straight away. Morris came home relaxed and clearly very well cared for. I would 100% recommend them to anyone and will definitely be using them again and again. Thank you both so so much!! ❤️🐾”

“We couldn't have asked for a better dog sitter than Matt! He looked after our dog Nellie for a week, and from start to finish, he was absolutely fantastic. Matt was incredibly patient, kind, and understanding with Nellie, taking the time to make sure she felt comfortable, settled, and happy throughout her stay. It was clear that he genuinely cared about her wellbeing and treated her as if she were his own. One thing we especially appreciated was how regularly Matt kept us updated. He frequently sent us photos and messages, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. Seeing Nellie happy, relaxed, and enjoying herself made all the difference and allowed us to fully enjoy our trip knowing she was in such good hands. We are so grateful for the care, attention, and dedication Matt showed. Nellie had a wonderful time, and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable dog sitter. Thank you, Matt!”

“Charlotte and Josh were wonderful carers for our dog while we were away on holiday - easygoing and knowledgeable, reassuring and flexible, they sent us regular updates and brilliantly navigated some difficulties that arode in a really accommodating, professional and sympathetic manner. We couldn't have asked for more, and we wholeheartedly recommend them for your dog-caring. Thank you to you both!”
