“I'm so pleased we found Yara through Rover. She looked after our dog, Jenny for a few days at our house and was brilliant with her. She has a real genuine care and interest for animals, and it came across clearly when we met her,but also how she looked after jenmy throughout the stay. We appreciated her contact with us over the few days and the photo updates. She even taught her a new trick! The house was spotless when we got back and Jenny was relaxed, showing she'd clearly had a good time. Will definitely be asking her to look after Jenny again and would recommend 100%. Thanks Yara!”

I will also respect and care for your home during drop ins and overnight stays. I have always stood by the saying, "treat others as you would want to be treated yourself".
About: I currently work for the UKS largest rehoming organisation which allowed me to learn dog behaviours inside and out, having undergone training to recognise behaviours, what they mean, and how i can care for dogs personal to their needs. I also spent 7 months in The Philippines independently rescuing and caring for over 18 animals (newborn puppies and kittens included) - Having found my own furbaby on the street in horrific condition i nursed him back to full health and brought him back to the UK with me.

I’m DBS checked, fully insured, trained in animal first aid, and have completed animal behaviour courses, so you can feel confident that your dog’s safety and wellbeing always come first.

I adapt to their needs, paying attention to their body language, routines, and favourite comforts, so they feel secure and happy while you’re away. I don’t just “look after” dogs — I build a bond with them, treating them as I would my own, with patience, kindness, and respect.

I make sure they have plenty of space, enrichment, and the same routine they’re used to at home, so they feel settled and cared for. Hygiene and comfort are a top priority, and I always follow your instructions closely to keep your little ones happy and healthy. 🐾 In Your Home When looking after pets in their own home, I treat your space with the same respect as I do my own.

Safety always comes first — I double-check doors, gates, and litter trays, keep a close eye on body language, and ensure fresh water and clean spaces at every visit. I’m also trained in animal first aid, DBS checked, and fully insured, so you can relax knowing your pets are in safe, trustworthy hands I will close curtains collect post etc for extra security
About: Hi! I’m Angela, a caring and reliable pet lover with hands-on experience looking after dogs of all ages and personalities. Over the past 3 years, I’ve cared for three wonderful dogs: two older boys—a Chihuahua and a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel—who needed gentle attention, patience, and help with medication, and a lively Staffordshire Bull Terrier puppy full of energy. This has made me confident with both senior dogs with specific needs and younger, more active ones. I always treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I’m attentive to routines, whether that means sticking to specific diets, administering medication, or providing the right balance of exercise, playtime, and rest. I mainly work from home with one or two days in the office, which means I can give pets plenty of attention, companionship, and supervision throughout the day. At the moment, there are no pets in my home, so your dog or cat will have my full attention. I also have a small garden, which is perfect for some fresh air and safe outdoor time. I’m happy to care for cats as well, making sure they feel calm, relaxed, and well looked after in a peaceful environment. I truly enjoy the companionship pets bring, and I’d love to spend time caring for yours—giving them the same love and attention I always have. I work mainly from home, And I have flexible job. Which helps me to accommodate your pet needs. I will be staying in the house with your pet and when they need walking there are few parks around where they can be free to run. I have a fenced small garden, and a conservatory where dogs normally loves to stay as it is sunny, the place is spacious and it has hosted previously 3 dogs.
“we never left Dexter with someone we don't know, Iliana was the first and took us by big surprise! So caring, loving and very professional at the same time. Dexter felt that from the time they met. We had a lot of videos and photo’s every day while on our travels. We can’t thank her enough for taking brilliant care after Dexter. Highly recommended! Thank you for loving and professional care.”
“Caitlin was absolutely amazing when sitting our dog, Finley, for two nights. She was friendly and polite, and clearly loves dogs. I think Finley was very sad to see her leave when we got home! She left the house clean and tidy, it was like she was never there. Both us and Finley would happily have Caitlin back again in the future and would highly recommend!”

Yarah was so lovely and so helpful. Rosie loved her and even tried to go with Yarah when she was leaving the house. Yarah was so accommodating and was ok arriving and leaving when my daughter was here rather than us. Nothing was too much trouble. It made so much difference to us knowing Rosie had some company in her own environment. Thanks so much. I would have no hesitation in recommending Yarah and have no hesitation in using her again for anymore dog sitting we require. Thanks again
Nicola was absolutely brilliant from start to finish. She looked after our home and our two dogs for two weeks, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Our youngest, Hugo, isn’t the easiest to settle and can be a bit of a handful, but Nicola handled him effortlessly with no fuss, no drama, just calm, capable care. It gave us real peace of mind knowing everything was in such good hands. She was accommodating, thoughtful, and clearly takes real pride in what she does. We came home to happy dogs and a well looked after house, which says it all. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Nicola and will 100% be booking her again.
I highly recommend Kate who looked after our whippet tonight. From start to finish her communication and care were excellent and felt in safe hands. My dog was so happy with her when I came home he hardly moved to greet me. I think that's a good sign 😀 would definitely book again.
Micheal was fantastic from the first point of contact . Communication was excellent before caring for Holly and Kobe and during the time they were in his care. Micheal ensured he had all the information he needed to care for Holly and Kobe . He took the time to get to know them before we went away . Whilst we was on holiday Micheal would send daily updates with photos. We did not have to worry about Holly and Kobe whilst on holiday as we knew they were being well cared for . We had two happy dogs on our return from holiday and they have not sulked with us for the first time for leaving them !
This was our first time leaving Beans with someone else and we were a bit nervous as she can have some separation anxiety but Emma put our minds right at ease! She sent lots of updates, asked lots of questions beforehand and was so reassuring. Beans warmed to her immediately and had a lovely day. Would definitely recommend and hope to book with her again!
