“Evellin has looked after our dog Evie several times, and she is always excellently looked after and has a great time. We love getting updates and photos, and don't have to worry about Evie while we're away as we know she's in great hands.”

About: We have always had a dog as a family pet, from a puppy to a senior dog, Currently we have Daisy who is a 13 year old English Springer Spaniel. We have been the go to ones for both our family and friends whenever their dogs have needed looking after, overnight stays, walking etc. I hold a dog walking certificate. As we are currently not working we have plenty of time for playing and walking your dog, we are available to take boarders at a time to suit your working arrangements and are very flexible, for as short as 1 night. We have a large fully enclosed garden for lots of play, which your dog will have the run of , and as we have Daisy there will be always someone to play with.

“This was the first time I’ve left my puppy overnight and I was apprehensive. Linda calmed me on our initial meeting and when it came to leaving her. She kept me updated and sent lovely photos. Paisley was extremely well cared for and spoilt with attention. I would certainly ask Linda to look after Paisley again and would highly recommend her to all.”

About: I have over 8 years of experience caring for dogs and cats, including working in a home boarding environment. I now offer drop-in visits and dog walking, providing reliable, calm and attentive care for pets in their own home or on their regular walks. I have experience with rescue dogs, young puppies, and more nervous or reactive animals, and I always adapt my approach to suit each pet’s needs. I’m trusted by friends, family, and clients to feed, walk, check in, and spend quality time with their pets, making sure they feel safe, settled, and well cared for while their owners are away. I understand how important consistency is for both cats and dogs, so I aim to keep timings regular to help them feel settled and comfortable while you’re away. When caring for pets in your home, I take a calm, respectful, and reliable approach to make sure they feel safe and comfortable in their own environment. I carefully follow all instructions, including feeding, walking, medication if needed, and maintaining routines. I have experience with both confident and more nervous or reactive animals, and I always adapt my approach to suit each pet. I ensure your home is left secure after every visit, giving you peace of mind while you’re away.

“Every time Bradley goes to Kayleigh he starts barking with excitement when we get near to her house. Once she opens the door he runs in and doesn’t look back. We go away knowing he will be looked after and loved just like he is at home. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Kayleigh to anyone she is amazing.”

About: I have a dog of my own and children, so I understand how important it is to find someone caring, reliable and trustworthy to look after your pet. I’m patient, responsible and treat every dog as if they were my own. 🐶❤️ I work from home, so I’m around for most of the day and can give your pet plenty of attention and company. I’m also available at weekends and can be flexible with walks, feeding and playtime to fit your pet’s usual routine. 🐶 I have a secure, fenced garden and a friendly dog of my own, so your dog will have company and a safe space to enjoy. I have children, so I’m used to a busy family environment and always make sure pets are comfortable, supervised and well cared for. I’m happy to follow their usual routine and any special instructions. 🐶❤️

“Jo and Ian were the perfect sitters for our Millie. They keep us updated throughout her stay re how she was getting on and sent photos so we could see how relaxed and happy she was, as well as being perfectly spoilt throughout her stay. We would definitely use them again.”

Jeanette R.

“The meet and greet before Billy’s stay was really appreciated and put my mind to rest knowing he would be in safe kind hands. Billy has separation issues and does get anxious but Scott was aware and managed this well whilst he was with him. Great to receive status and photo updated from Scott whilst Billy was with him 🤗”

Andrea P.

“Kelly and her family were fantastic! It was my first time using Rover but it was perfect. I was kept updated with messages and pictures throughout the week I was away which was perfect and Kelly listened to everything that was needed as my dog has specific food allergies. I would definitely use again, thank you!”

“Milena was absolutely wonderful with my kitten! ❤️ I left him with her for 3 weeks and she took such great care of him. She kept me updated every single day with lovely photos and videos of what they had been getting up to, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. From the photos and videos he looks so happy, healthy and very well cared for, and he’s growing so well. You can really tell how much love and attention she gave him. 🥰 I would definitely recommend Milena to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to look after their pets. Thank you so much, Milena! ❤️”

About: I have always had a strong love for animals, especially dogs, as I grew up surrounded by lots of different pets. Being around animals from a young age has helped me develop a natural understanding of how to care for them, be patient with them, and make sure they feel safe, happy and comfortable. My experience as a dog sitter is something I really enjoy because I love spending time with dogs and getting to know their individual personalities and needs. I understand the importance of giving them plenty of attention, exercise, fresh air and companionship while their owners are away. One of my favourite parts of dog sitting is taking dogs out for walks. I enjoy giving them the opportunity to explore, exercise and have fun, while also benefiting from being outdoors myself. Going for regular walks with a dog helps me stay active and supports my own health and wellbeing, making it something that I find both enjoyable and rewarding. Overall, looking after dogs is something I am passionate about. Growing up with pets, combined with my experience caring for animals, has taught me to be responsible, caring and attentive. I would always treat someone else's dog with the same care and respect that I would give to my own pets. Working from home allows me to provide dogs with the attention, care and companionship they need throughout the day. Because I work remotely, I have the flexibility to take regular breaks to feed them, let them outside, give them attention and take them out for walks. Being at home also means dogs are not left alone for long periods of time, which can help them feel more comfortable and settled. I can easily fit walks and playtime around my working schedule while still making sure my work commitments are met. I really enjoy being around dogs while I work, and I believe my home-based routine is ideal for dog sitting. It allows me to give each dog plenty of care and attention while providing a safe, calm and loving environment for them. Although my garden is on the smaller side, it is fully fenced and provides a safe and secure space for dogs to have regular toilet breaks and get some fresh air throughout the day. I understand that the garden is not intended to replace proper walks and exercise, but it is a convenient and secure space for quick toilet breaks whenever needed. I also live next to a beautiful bank and walking area, which is perfect for giving dogs plenty of exercise and outdoor stimulation. I regularly take my family’s dog there for walks and really enjoy spending time outdoors with him. The area provides a lovely environment for dogs to explore, get some exercise and enjoy their surroundings. Having both a secure garden and such a beautiful walking area nearby means I can provide dogs with regular toilet breaks, exercise and plenty of opportunities to enjoy the outdoors.

“Sandra went above and beyond when our train was delayed meaning we would struggle to pick up the dogs on time and she drove the 30 mins each way to drop them off at my daughter’s house. Both dogs seemed to have enjoyed their time with Sandra. Such a shame she is over an hour away from my home.”

You will recieve plenty of photos during there time with us, even if it’s just for an hours walk or a pup-cation (I understand it can be nerve wracking to leave your animals in the care of someone else & seeing photos helps) Whilst all the member of our family will enjoy giving your fur-babies cuddles, your Fur-babies will always be in my care and won’t be left with anyone else, and I will follow your preferences as they will be my main priority during their time with me. I’m a stay home mum, our dogs come everywhere with us accept on the school run, so your animals will enjoy exploring different places with us, we will always let you know in advance of there stay where we are planning to go and be this might just be coming to the horse yard with us or for a walk along the beach. Our garden is fenced in and we have 2 miniature dachshund our boy still has his manhood. So we will be unable to take girls during there heat but we will be able to care for them in your home, if you are booked in with us in and they happen to go into heat.

“Lindsey was fantastic with Florence and sent us regular updates and pictures whilst we were away. Would highly recommend.”

“Ayesha was absolutely amazing. She stepped in and accepted our booking for a 2-night overnight stay with less than 24 hours’ notice after another sitter cancelled at the last minute, which was such a relief. Our dog has separation anxiety and usually struggles being left with new people, but from the moment we dropped him off it was clear he was in safe, caring hands. Even after a difficult first night, Ayesha handled everything so patiently and professionally, and he settled really well the following day. She kept us updated throughout with regular messages, videos, and photos, which really put our minds at ease. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate sitter.”
