Quick to respond, kept me updated with all happenings and provide a safe and lovely home for my pup to stay. I appreciate that all my instructions were followed properly. I am very nervous about leaving my pup with others, however Laura & Kevin were able to immediately put my mind at ease.”

“Kevin, Denise, and their girls were absolutely fantastic! Our 1-year-old British Bulldog, Molly, had a wonderful two-week stay with their family. We received daily photos and videos of her playing, eating, and enjoying plenty of walks. It was clear she was having the best time! In fact, when we went to pick her up, she looked like she didn’t want to leave! We’re so grateful to Kevin and his family for the love and care they gave to Molly, and for giving us complete peace of mind while we were away. Knowing she was safe, happy, and truly part of their family meant the world to us. We’ll definitely be booking with them again and can’t recommend them highly enough!”

About: My partner and I have taken care of dogs for the majority of our lives. From walking and training our family dogs growing up and into our first dog together, to looking after others pets whilst they have gone away. This is a dog household and will love them dearly for the time they are with here. We are happy to help with any training needs too and hope to be the fun place your dog can visit! We are always going on weekend adventures and would be great for our dog to have a companion. I’m currently available Fridays to Sundays to help anyone in need of a dog walker or somewhere fun for your dog to go on their holiday whilst you may go on yours. I have a fenced garden with plenty of space, and i have another dog so would be nice for him to have some company too. I can only accept female who have been spayed unfortunately for boarding at this time.

About: Hi! Though new to Rover, I am a lifelong dog lover with a solid background in dog care, known for my affection, reliability and attention to detail. I’m committed to earning your trust while providing your furry friend with the exceptional care they deserve. I grew up in a family that has always loved and cared for dogs. Being around them has been a big part of my life and I truly enjoy their company. I’m genuinely passionate about these companions and over the years I’ve provided care for pets belonging to friends, family and local clients. For me, it’s all about making every furry friend feel safe, loved and happy. I’m currently dedicated full-time to pet sitting, which gives me plenty of time to give your pet lots of attention, love and playtime! I'm available for Boarding, Doggy Day Care, House Sitting, Drop-In Visits and Dog Walking on weekdays and weekends. My flexible schedule allows me to be fully present and responsive to your pet’s needs, making sure they feel comfortable, safe and cared for while you're away. 🚨 Starting August 29th, I will be teaming up with Camila, another amazing dog lover and experienced professional ✨ Together, we’ll care for your pup with the same love and dedication you’re used to, now with the added benefit of two people working side by side to ensure he/she is happy, safe, and well looked after.

I make sure they get plenty of attention, affection and stimulation throughout the day. In the owner's home, I’m respectful of the space and keep everything clean and organised. I treat every pet like they were my own, with patience, kindness and care.

“What can I say - Andy and Natalie have been the best dog sitters we had so far! Such a caring and loving family. Andy is super knowledgeable about dogs, I felt at easy while he was looking after our maltipoo who's usually quite picky with food and struggles with other dogs. We were really grateful that Andy only looked after Cookie and didn't take multiple other dogs at the same time of her stay. He would also send us multiple regular updates throughout the day with photos. He ensured that she was fed when she didn't feel like eating, took her on multiple park walks and played with her throughout the day.We will definitely be rebooking Andy for the future!”


“I met with Bilqees and her family for a meet and greet and I instantly knew that they would be perfect for Milo. I’ve only ever left Milo with family for overnight stays and had booked Bilqees for 10 days initially. He ended up having such a great time there that I extended it for the full 3 weeks. Bilqees sent me updates and pictures every day and it was obvious that he was getting 10/10 care. He’s actually come back to me much more well behaved than when I left him which is great ? Would happily come back and recommend to literally everyone I know who has doggos. Thanks so much once again!!! I’ve never seen him settle in so well ❤️❤️❤️”
