“Once again thank you and your lovely family for looking after Bo for us. He likes it there so much he didn't want to leave again. This is the second time Bo has stayed with you and he always comes home happy and chilled out. I suspect he loves being spoilt by your two daughters. Good luck with the new puppy. Thanks again Kevin and Gina”
“Julie was absolutely fantastic and made both me and Buster very welcome in her home. This was the first time I had ever had to leave Buster with strangers but, made me feel completely at ease and kept me updated throughout the duration of the booking. Not only did Julie take care of him but it was very clear that he had had fun there and even met a new friend.”
About: I’ve had dogs in my life since my earliest memory and gained a wealth of experience and knowledge along the way. I’ve been training my own dogs and other peoples dogs for over 25 years. Your dogs would be kept in a relaxed and caring environment, and will receive the same love and attention as my own dogs . I’m currently home all day, so I’ll have plenty of time to give your dogs my full love and attention. I’m available to board dogs 7 days a week for short breaks or extended holidays, if booked in advance. I have a fenced garden to keep your dogs safe, and also have my own two dogs to keep your dogs company and have someone to play with. Dogs can also be crated if needed. I can also make sure your dogs have daily walks if applicable in a lovely environment.
“So very kind and accommodating. Bronwen took our dog on beautiful long walks and wasn’t phased by his boundless energy. She sent lots of lovely photos of their fun together. Bronwen made sure she kept his usual home rules and routine to avoid confusion. Would highly recommend and would definitely use again! Thank you”
“Really great communication through and Emma sent lots of pictures of Comet during his stay which was very reassuring. Comet returned tired and happy which is the sign of a good sleep over! Many thanks.”
“Lauren was absolutely amazing with my dog cooper I was so nervous about leaving him but she reassured me I was sent photos everyday and she looked after him well. I will be using Lauren again fantastic!”
“I cannot fail to recommend Derek highly enough to anyone who is thinking of boarding their dog(s) with him. Derek has taken such good care of my pooch walking him three times a day, seeing that he is utterly content and happy at all times, sending video and photos of what they have been doing all through the day. My boy has come home to me very happy and looking great! I will certainly use Derek's services again as there is nothing that he will not do to ensure your dog's happiness whilst they are staying with him.”
“First time we have used Emma for dog sitting our 12 year old Jack Russell X Pug Bella. Emma is lovely and calm with Bella and settled her in well as we have not left her with a dog sitter previously This was an overnight stay to see how Bella would cope with being away from us. Bella was fine when we picked her up on the Saturday and we are now going ahead with a four night stay in June. 10/10 service 👍🏼🤩🐻❤️”
“Liam and Timmy were absolutely fantastic with Oscar! Fantastic caring home with lots of toys for Oscar to play with and keep him entertained. Great communication and some fantastic pictures of Oscar sent by them and they were even so kind as to give us a framed picture of Oscar when he was picked up. Thank you so much Liam and Timmy! Will would 100% be happy to let Oscar stay again, he had a great time!”
“Fantastic first experience!This was my first time using a pet sitter, and Elizabeth made the entire process seamless and stress-free. She was absolutely fantastic and kept me constantly updated with reassurance and photos. My dog, Forrest, settled in with her immediately and was incredibly comfortable. I highly recommend Elizabeth and will absolutely book her again!”
“Alison took care of my cat Bella for two weeks and I can’t sing her praises enough. What a lovely caring lady, my cat settled in well which was a great relief as I’d not left her before. I received daily updates and photos which put my mind at rest. I would highly recommend Alison to anyone who’s looking for a responsible caring sitter for their pet.”
About: Hey! We’re Shan & Jam we’re a 29 year old couple & we’re about to be your dog’s new best friends!👋🏻 We’re on a mission to soak up all the doggy cuddles we can this year, not just because we’re obsessed with dog’s (which we are) but because we’re warming up for PAWrenthood 🐾 So, instead of impulse buying a terrier on a random Tuesday (which we absolutely were close to doing) we’re channeling our love into looking after other people’s furbabies for now!👀 Jam has had experience in owning a dog full time, for 4 years as she took on her dad’s Staffordshire bull terrier, Max back in 2016 until he sadly passed in 2020. Therefore she now has history with this breed & their loving but sometimes crazy nature🤪 Shan has had experience, being a co-owner to Coco, a Shihtzu cross for 8 years, who was a yappy madam🤭 We both have cared for other dogs such as Buddy the Yorkie, who we fostered for a year🥹 Dolly the frenchie who we rehomed, who was Shan’s Grancha’s beloved dog🥺 And, we’ve had the pleasure of spending time with our family & friends dog’s over the years, walking & watching them. And our regular dog we sit, Daisy the 14 year old Chihuahua who has dementia🐶 Therefore combined, we have a fair amount of mixed experience with dogs☺️ IMPORTANT: Please DON’T book us until, we confirm the booking AFTER we’ve met your dog in person. Thankyou!😌 We have a lot of time on our hands, due to not having children & working from home, which makes us available most days, dates & times to suit your needs. But please message us to enquire 📅 We will be caring for your dogs in a cozy yet spacious flat with our own front door (not a shared block) & a private, fenced off front garden great for zoomies & bathroom breaks. We’ve even added extra security with chicken wire for those extra small doggies👀 While it’s not Buckingham Palace, it’s clean, comfy & 100% dog-approved! ✅ If stairs are tricky for your pup, that’s no problem they’ll get the full VIP treatment (yes, we do offer a personal carrying service)👩🏻✈️
“Absolutely fantastic. This was my first time using Rover for my little puppy, it was so lovely to know that she was in great hands and the updates were lovely. As she is a puppy she is a handful but Sean was lovely with her, I will definitely be booking her in again. Thank you so much.”
About: What sets me apart is the genuine care and attention I give every dog. I treat each pet as if they were my own, taking the time to understand their personality, routine, and individual needs so they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I'm patient, reliable, and comfortable caring for dogs of all ages and sizes. Whether it's an energetic puppy that needs consistency and positive reinforcement, or a senior dog that requires a slower pace, medication, or extra comfort, I'm happy to tailor my care to suit them. I believe in keeping owners updated with regular photos and messages, so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your dog is in good hands. My goal is to provide a fun, stress-free experience where your pet gets plenty of exercise, affection, and one-on-one attention in a safe and caring environment. I work five days a week, but I make time every day for pet care. Walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention are all part of my routine, ensuring every dog gets the care and companionship they need. Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or in their own home, I stick to their usual routine as closely as possible. I make sure they have fresh water, regular meals, plenty of exercise, playtime, and lots of love and attention. I also keep their environment clean and provide updates with photos so owners know their pet is happy and well cared for.
“Amy looked after Buddy overnight whilst I was at a wedding. She was so good with him and he really enjoyed his stay. She kept me up to date throughout the stay with messages and pictures. This is the second time Amy has looked after Buddy and he’ll definitely be back for more visits soon! Thanks again Amy!”
“Dot had such a lovely time with Sarah and Rolo. It was lovely to see how quickly Dot had settled by receiving videos of Dot and Rolo together. I would definitely recommend Sarah and will be using in the future x”
“Callum was great looking after Harley for the weekend. Kept us informed the whole time with updates and photos. She was very well cared for and had a great time. I would have no problem using him again”
About: Hello my name is Lucia 🙂 I have grown up around dogs and cats and I have always had them as part of my family, which has given me plenty of hands-on experience caring for them. Over the years, I have helped with feeding, walking, grooming, playtime, and providing lots of love and attention. Being around dogs and cats for most of my life has taught me how to understand their needs, personalities, and routines, and I am comfortable caring for them of different ages and temperaments. As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule and spend most of my day at home. On weekdays, I only leave briefly in the morning to take my child to nursery from 10:00 to 11:30, and then I return home for the rest of the day. This means I can provide plenty of attention, supervision, playtime, and companionship for your pet throughout the day. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. We have a secure, fenced garden where dogs can enjoy fresh air and play safely. Pets will receive lots of love, attention, and care while staying with me. I also enjoy taking dogs on regular walks, so they can get exercise, explore, and have fun during their stay.
“I think that I have found the perfect dog sitter. You were an absolute pleasure to work with - fantastic, clear communication, you obviously love dogs, and as promised you sent loads of really good pictures and videos. My Two girls looked to be having a wonderful time, and were happy and tired when I collected them. I would love to trust you to look after them again, if you don't mind having a beagle back! If you're happy to keep in touch, we will be delighted.”

About: I’ve had cats since I was 12, so caring for them has always been a big part of my life. I absolutely love cats and understand their different personalities — from playful and energetic to shy and independent. I’m confident with feeding, litter care, administering basic medication if needed, and making sure your cat feels safe and comfortable in their own space. I’ll happily spend time playing with them or simply keeping them company, depending on what they enjoy most. I understand that every cat has their own routine and little quirks, so I always take a calm and patient approach, allowing them to interact in their own time and feel at ease. You can rely on me to provide consistent, caring visits while you’re away, with updates to give you peace of mind 🐱 I currently offer evening and weekend visits, and I’m happy to discuss availability to suit your needs.
“Katy has been incredible from start to finish. Very friendly and amazing. Felt very comfortable trusting her with Judo and she kept me updated as much as possible which is greatly appreciated. 10/10 would definitely recommend! Would definitely book again when I next go away. 😊”
About: I've taken care of cats since I was a child, including having 2 of my own growing up. This includes house training them from kittens, integrating them into new homes, feeding, cleaning and helping to give any medications. I have also dropped in on friends and family cats ensuring they're fed, let outside if allowed, cleaned if required.
About: I’ve adored cats my whole life (self-confessed crazy cat lady!) and currently share my home with two rescue tabby kitties, Bailey (Queen Bee and Sunbeam Napper) and Rossi (The Cuddle Master). I also look after their cousin, Wilma, at my parents’ house, so I’m used to different personalities, routines, and needs. Expect calm, reliable care: gentle company for shy kitties, structured play and enrichment for the playful moggies, tidy litter care, fresh food/water routines, and photo updates so you can relax knowing your feline fur-babies are in good company! Loving, patient, and calm, your cat’s comfort always comes first.

Prices are estimates per day for 1 dog. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
About: 🐾 A Calm, Licensed Home-from-Home Experience Thank you for taking the time to view my profile. I provide fully licensed home boarding in a calm family environment where your dog is treated as one of the household, not as part of a kennel environment. Why choose me? ✅ Fully licensed by the local authority ✅ I work from home, so your dog enjoys company throughout the day. ✅ I board ONE household at a time, meaning your dog(s) are never mixed with unfamiliar dogs. ✅ Meet & Greets are encouraged before every first booking. ✅ Individual care tailored to your dog's routine, personality and needs. 🏡 Exclusive Boarding Unlike many boarders, I only accept dogs from one household at a time. This provides: • A quieter, less stressful environment. • Ideal for nervous, elderly or rescue dogs. • Individual attention throughout their stay. • No mixing with unfamiliar dogs. As availability is naturally limited, early booking is recommended, particularly during school holidays and peak travel periods. 🐕 Boarding Capacity To ensure every dog has sufficient space, supervision and comfort, I operate a 3-2-1 Maximum Occupancy Policy. • Up to 3 Small dogs • Up to 2 Medium dogs • Or 1 Large / Giant breed (All dogs must be from the same household.) ❤️ Experience I have experience caring for a variety of breeds including: • Border Collies • Boxers • Cocker Spaniels • Corgis • Australian Shepherds • Labradors • Lhasa Apsos • Australian Labradoodles • Rhodesian Ridgebacks I'm confident handling energetic working breeds as well as smaller companion dogs, adapting exercise, enrichment and care to each individual dog. 🩺 Vaccination Requirements As a licensed home boarder, I am legally required to verify that every dog in my care has current core vaccinations. Before a booking is confirmed, please provide a copy (digital or paper) of your dog's vaccination record covering: • Distemper • Infectious Hepatitis • Parvovirus • Leptospirosis This helps keep every dog safe while ensuring compliance with local authority licensing requirements. 🤝 Communication I aim to respond promptly to every enquiry and appreciate the same in return. Because I only board one household at a time, dates remain available to other owners until a booking is confirmed through Rover. 🐾 What you can expect • A genuine home environment. • Daily updates and photographs (if you'd like them!). • Plenty of companionship throughout the day. • Calm, patient handling. • Walks and routines tailored to your dog's individual needs. • Your dog treated with the same care and respect I'd expect for my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine as I already walk 2–3 times a day, typically for around an hour each walk. I structure my day around providing consistent exercise, attention, and supervision, ensuring dogs get plenty of physical activity and stimulation throughout their stay. I’m at home for most of the day, so dogs are rarely left alone for long periods. My routine allows me to maintain a calm, stable environment with regular feeding times, walks, rest, and supervised garden access. I’m flexible and able to adjust my schedule to suit each dog’s individual needs, energy levels, and routines, including puppies or dogs that require more frequent attention. I provide a calm, safe home environment where dogs are treated like part of the family and their usual routines are followed, including feeding, exercise, and rest. I only board dogs from one household at a time, ensuring full attention, a stress-free environment, and no mixing with unfamiliar dogs. Dogs have access to a secure garden for supervised outdoor time, alongside tailored walks based on their individual needs and energy levels. I take a careful, responsible approach to care, prioritising safety, consistency, and comfort so each dog can settle quickly and feel at home. Owners receive regular updates with messages and photos for complete peace of mind while their dog is in my care.
About: I had my own cat for 15 years. I have looked after friends and families dogs and cats. Done drop ins for feeding and attention. Done dog walks for small and medium sized dogs. I currently run a small mug business from home which takes up hardly any of my time which means I can be available any day of the week for walks, pet pop ins, day care, boarding ect. Flexible with days and times. I have no children or any other pets. I live in a decent sized home with a fenced garden. Me and my husband do not smoke.
About: Our family have been around and owned dogs our entire lives. My husband and I have been looking after family and friends dogs together for nearly 5 years. We are newly established as a licensed home boarders taking 2 doggy guests at a time alongside our two neutered boys, and we want to offer as much flexibility and tailoring as possible for you and your pets comfort! I work from home weekdays so dogs have plenty of company! We can do walks at breakfast, lunch and dinner time, and weekends we can go for nice long and more adventurous walks (weather and dog dependant!) We have a large fenced back garden, half grass and half stone/slabs, and a smaller fenced front garden with grass and stone, the dogs can go anywhere in our home except my daughters room in case of teddy theft! We have a huge sofa so there is plenty of space for cwtches! We are pretty relaxed, flexible and happy to make accommodations to make sure all dogs are as happy as possible.

“Bowie had an amazing day at Sean and Ida’s today. He played with his new puppy friend all day. I was sent videos which reassured me he was happy as it was his first time away from home. He was picked up and dropped off to me which made it so convenient for me to go to work. They are lovely people and I trusted them implicitly. Would highly recommend!”
About: Grown up with dogs my whole life. I’ve wanted to be a veterinarian when I grew up but I couldn’t as I wouldn’t be able to do the things they do to animals cause I get so emotional. I did animal care training with ACT and worked with all animals. I’m a stay at home mam so dogs won’t ever be left alone during the day unless I drop my daughter to school which is only 5 mins down the road from where I live so can talk toe dog or dogs with me to drop her off at school then take them for a long walk around my local park I have a small garden with a gate right down to the floor so they can’t escape. They will have free roam of the house (except upstairs)
About: My partner has always been raised with dogs as pets for 20 years, these have ranged from boarder coillies, cocker spaniels, terroirs to Rottweilers. I have alway grown up around family dogs and have loved taking care of them, Our home will be your fur babies home away from home when they stay with us. Bella was the fifth member to our family, sadly we said goodbye to her in May 25. But we would treat your fur babies exactly the same as we treated Bella. Both of our children have been raised around dogs, and love getting involved with caring for them. I predominantly work from home and my partner works a rolling shift pattern so your fur babies will always have company when they stay with us. Bella is set in her ways however we would be more than willing to follow the same feeding scheduling that you implement for your dog. We would welcome your dog’s blankets, toys and beds to make them feel comfortable during their stay. We also have space for your fur babies to sleep in their create if needed. We have a large enclosed garden that your fur babies will have constant access to during their stay.
About: We both come from households with dogs our whole lives. I’ve always had 2 dogs whilst growing up on a farm and Oli loved growing up with his dogs Bailey and Summer. The past couple years we have looked after a range of dogs whilst housesitting for friends and family. I am available all day and Oli works until 3 so available in the afternoon, leaving plenty of time to look after your pets! I work from home so there’s plenty of time for walking and attention for your pup. When Oli gets back he loves a walk and spend time in the garden. We have a fenced garden, with a park nearby and happy to take further if needed. Separate room downstairs for dog to stay in, but happy to have upstairs too!
About: I’ve had dogs all my life and understand the love, care, and attention they need to be happy and healthy. I currently have a friendly Rough Collie called Hugo, who has given me plenty of experience with daily walks, feeding routines, grooming, playtime, and understanding canine behaviour. Friends and family regularly trust me to care for their pets, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, lots of play, or simply companionship and cuddles, I will ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. As I work from home, I have lots of time to dedicate to the pets in my care. I can provide regular walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship throughout the day, ensuring your pet feels comfortable, safe, and well looked after while you’re away.

About: Hi! I'm Alison. I've been in the pet sitting community for almost 10 years, and look after dogs and cats, old and young.

I have insurance to cover boarding, dog walking, drop-ins and sitting in your home. Let me know if you’d like to know more about that. I'll look after your pet as if they're one of the family! I can provide testimonials if required. I work mainly from home, and I'm fortunate to have a lot of flexibility, so I'm here 24/7 to cater to your pet's needs. I need to attend the office occasionally, but that's built into my calendar ahead of time My house and garden are secure, so your pet will be safe. It's just me at home so your pet will have my undivided attention.
“Phoebe was lovely with our dog. Our dog is nervous on initial meeting and considering Phoebe came to our house when we were out our dog was a little startled to see a stranger but Phoebe followed all instructions, sent a lot of updates which we highly appreciate and quickly our dog warmed to her.”
“More 5 star service from Curtis… happy to have someone to rely on at times when we can’t be home for our pets… usually us the house and pet sit option but today was our first drop in and dog walk service… all gone well :)”
About: My family and I had a West Highland terrier who lived till the ripe old age of 21! We adopted him from my grandad when he passed, who also had 5 previous westies all called skye-original I know!! I am a very active person who lives the company of a dog. I would be quite often found walking on the south west coastal path or along a beach somewhere. Unfortunately I work full time so it would be impractical for me to have my own. Most recently my parents welcomed the most beautiful working cocker spaniel, Stan, into their lives, who I also adore. I work full time Monday -friday but free after 5pm on week days and all day weekends. However, please message me as I can be flexible. We have an enclosed walled garden, with a gate. We also have full wooden flooring on the first floor of the house. Easy to clean!
“Amazing!!! Lovely person to have walk my special girl. Very Friendly and goes the extra mile. And loved that she kept me well informed with messages and pictures which put me at ease to then concentrate at work knowing my dog was well looked after”
About: I love dogs and grew up with a Bedlington terrier for 14+ years, I also worked day to day with a Cavachon for 1+ years. My family also recently welcomed a cocker spaniel pup into the family so I know the amount of cwtches, play-time and walks puppies need! Although my experience has mostly been with small to medium sized pets, I love spending time with animals of all shapes and sizes! After returning home from travelling I’m currently without a job so have am available all day, everyday to walk or check in on your furry friend! I know like us, each dog has their unique needs, wants and likes so I am more than happy to tailor their walks and check ins to suit yourself and them!
About: I've always had animals growing up varying from cats and dogs to hamsters and fish so I understand the care and trust required to taking care of them. I have taken care of animals with my family from a young age including cat and dog sitting as well as daily check ins, socialising and feeds. Most recently I have been on standby for relatives pets when I'm available, usually during school holidays however decided that it's time to offer my services to the wider community. I have had experience training two of my own puppies as well as providing senior care to my relatives dog when sitting, including providing medication. Typically in term time, I am a teacher meaning my availability shortens to evenings and weekends however from June - September I work from home and can therefore be flexible to work around what's best for you and your pet. During school holidays my availability will become larger rather than being evening and weekend based. I'm currently working on a zero hour contract therefore my weekly schedule is super flexible as I work from home. I have my own dog so tend to take him out twice a day alongside a morning and evening feed with lots of playing in between! Due to my flexibility I can work around your schedule to ensure your furry friends are cared for. I am happy to come over for a home visit prior to your first booking to meet yourselves as well as your pet(s) to ensure they have a level of familiarity with me upon the first time we go on a walk or pop in for a visit. This allows you to see how comfortable your pet(s) will be in my company for peace of mind along side allowing me to gain any information from you such as feed times / amounts / walking routes your pet is most comfortable with or toys they enjoy playing with the most.
About: Hi, I’m Katy 👋 I’m an experienced, calm, and very attentive pet carer offering dog walking, drop-ins, and sitting for both dogs and cats. I’m especially good with sensitive, anxious, or older animals who need a slower pace, consistency, and gentle handling. I genuinely love being outdoors and tailor walks to your dog’s needs — whether that’s a long countryside ramble, a steady sniff-filled stroll, or just some fresh air and reassurance. For cats, I’m patient, respectful of boundaries, and happy to follow their routine exactly as they like it. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet in someone else’s care. I’m reliable, communicative, and always happy to send updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is safe and content. Your pet’s wellbeing, comfort, and routine always come first 🤍 Im a stay at home mum and currently studying part-time so plenty of time to fit in playing, feeding and sorting out pups and cats. I can do drop ins morning, afternoon, evening and can do doggie walks in morning and afternoon. Happy to have dogs in the day, i have a fenced garden and live near lots of big outdoor spaces and great walks for them to stretch their legs. I also own a medium crate and/or happy to crate dogs at your home if need be. I drive and can come and pick up dogs for walks.

“So very kind and accommodating. Bronwen took our dog on beautiful long walks and wasn’t phased by his boundless energy. She sent lots of lovely photos of their fun together. Bronwen made sure she kept his usual home rules and routine to avoid confusion. Would highly recommend and would definitely use again! Thank you”
“Really great communication through and Emma sent lots of pictures of Comet during his stay which was very reassuring. Comet returned tired and happy which is the sign of a good sleep over! Many thanks.”
“Lauren was absolutely amazing with my dog cooper I was so nervous about leaving him but she reassured me I was sent photos everyday and she looked after him well. I will be using Lauren again fantastic!”
“I cannot fail to recommend Derek highly enough to anyone who is thinking of boarding their dog(s) with him. Derek has taken such good care of my pooch walking him three times a day, seeing that he is utterly content and happy at all times, sending video and photos of what they have been doing all through the day. My boy has come home to me very happy and looking great! I will certainly use Derek's services again as there is nothing that he will not do to ensure your dog's happiness whilst they are staying with him.”
“First time we have used Emma for dog sitting our 12 year old Jack Russell X Pug Bella. Emma is lovely and calm with Bella and settled her in well as we have not left her with a dog sitter previously This was an overnight stay to see how Bella would cope with being away from us. Bella was fine when we picked her up on the Saturday and we are now going ahead with a four night stay in June. 10/10 service 👍🏼🤩🐻❤️”
“Liam and Timmy were absolutely fantastic with Oscar! Fantastic caring home with lots of toys for Oscar to play with and keep him entertained. Great communication and some fantastic pictures of Oscar sent by them and they were even so kind as to give us a framed picture of Oscar when he was picked up. Thank you so much Liam and Timmy! Will would 100% be happy to let Oscar stay again, he had a great time!”
“Fantastic first experience!This was my first time using a pet sitter, and Elizabeth made the entire process seamless and stress-free. She was absolutely fantastic and kept me constantly updated with reassurance and photos. My dog, Forrest, settled in with her immediately and was incredibly comfortable. I highly recommend Elizabeth and will absolutely book her again!”
“Callum was great looking after Harley for the weekend. Kept us informed the whole time with updates and photos. She was very well cared for and had a great time. I would have no problem using him again”
About: Hello my name is Lucia 🙂 I have grown up around dogs and cats and I have always had them as part of my family, which has given me plenty of hands-on experience caring for them. Over the years, I have helped with feeding, walking, grooming, playtime, and providing lots of love and attention. Being around dogs and cats for most of my life has taught me how to understand their needs, personalities, and routines, and I am comfortable caring for them of different ages and temperaments. As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule and spend most of my day at home. On weekdays, I only leave briefly in the morning to take my child to nursery from 10:00 to 11:30, and then I return home for the rest of the day. This means I can provide plenty of attention, supervision, playtime, and companionship for your pet throughout the day. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. We have a secure, fenced garden where dogs can enjoy fresh air and play safely. Pets will receive lots of love, attention, and care while staying with me. I also enjoy taking dogs on regular walks, so they can get exercise, explore, and have fun during their stay.
“I think that I have found the perfect dog sitter. You were an absolute pleasure to work with - fantastic, clear communication, you obviously love dogs, and as promised you sent loads of really good pictures and videos. My Two girls looked to be having a wonderful time, and were happy and tired when I collected them. I would love to trust you to look after them again, if you don't mind having a beagle back! If you're happy to keep in touch, we will be delighted.”
“Managed to get Chloe to look after Obi very short notice. Great communication and very personable, put my mind at ease via conversation and when I took him to the property. Would have no issue in recommending, will definitely use again.”
“I left my little black pug, Lola, in the care of the lovely Jas and her partner Bobby. From the moment I met them, I felt at ease as they seemed genuinely kind and caring people. Jas sent regular updates and even offered video calls during Lola’s stay, which gave me great peace of mind. Lola came back tired and happy, which says it all. Jas was emotional when returning Lola, and it was clear they had formed a real bond. I know my baby was truly loved and very well cared for during the 8 days she stayed with them. I would absolutely recommend Jas as a pet sitter and will definitely be using her services again in the future.”
About: Dogs have been a big part of my life since I was a child, and we have owned various breeds. Most recently we had a labrador, Ella who we sadly recently lost at 10.5years old. So I have experience caring for senior dogs and giving medications if required (I'm also a registered nurse). I've informally cared for family and friends dogs, taking them for walks, completing check-ins and having overnight stays at my home. Currently we haven't yet got another dog, so have a pet-free home with a large secure garden. Looking forward to getting to know your furry friends and taking them on some outdoor adventures 🐾 I do shift work so have several days free each week to be available for your dog's needs. For overnight stays I would need advance notice, and can only be accommodated in my own home. I have a large secure garden and able to provide 1:1 interaction for your furry friend. Also have a dog crate available and dog ramp for senior or those with mobility issues if going on some longer walks.
