“We had Sam over for her first meet with our Maisy , Maisy was smitten with Sam ,🥰 Sam handled Maisy amazingly , she knew exactly what to do with Maisys over excitable greeting and her very pushy behaviour 😂 We had updates of pictures and messages to say how she was doing and how many cuddles Maisy requested 🥰😂 I’m so glad we found Sam to look after Maisy while we’re out , Having someone to trust and know your fur baby is being cared for just like we would makes being out a lot more enjoyable , We will definitely having Sam round again very soon 🥰 Thank you so much Sam xxx”


7. Pato S.

“Pato is SO lovely.. We are really grateful that we've found her. It was our first time booking Pato, let alone using Rover. At first we asked to meet up pre-visits & immediately could sense her warm & kind nature. She took extra effort to write down any key info. Our cat Poppy is also an anxious cat, so it was important to find someone like Pato. Whilst we were away, Pato visited everyday, sending us regular images of Poppy & letting us know how she's doing. Thanks again, from Poppy & Family”

10. Daisy G.
About: I’ve had dogs since I was around 15 and plenty of experience with different breeds and ages including chihuahua puppies, senior staffies and rescue bulldogs. I can no longer have dogs full time myself so I would love to be able to care/love for others. I drive which means I am able to travel to your pets as and when needed. I am currently not working and my child goes to nursery 3 days a week so I have plenty of time spare to spend with the animals I care for. I live in a duplex (a house in a low rise block) with 2 large balconies and a communal garden. I live right on the water where lots of people walk their dogs and a crate available if needed.

I will also be available to contact at all times if necessary to put your mind at ease.


20. Macey D.

“Macey provides a superb service. Leaving your loved ones in the hands of others is very difficult. So one relies upon competency, care and professionalism. Macey’s care of our two little frenchies whilst we were away for the weekend embodied all these things and more. She was prompt, supplied photos and the dogs loved her. We’ll definitely call upon her again!”
