“Kim and family made Pepper one of the family which was evident when I picked her up as we were talking outside Pepper was not hesitant on making her way back inside the house. Pictures were kindly provided showing how settled she was. Always a good sign that she was very happy staying with Kim. Pictures were kindly provided showing how settled she was. Looking forward to placing Pepper again with Kim.”

“Felt 100% confident leaving my dog with Sarah. She listened to everything we said, was super-friendly, and kindly sent photos of Sydney having a great time. Highly recommend!”

“I'm so glad I found Nicky! Willow had never stayed with anyone other than a family friend before, so I was a little bit anxious. However, as soon as we met Nicky I knew that everything would be fine. Nicky was friendly and welcoming, and Willow settled in quickly, and got on well with Nicky's dog, Alfie. Nicky sent frequent messages and photos, and Willow was clearly well looked after, and made to feel part of the family. I would definitely book with Nicky again, and would recommend her to others. Excellent all round! Thank you, Nicky. 😊”

“Jackie is fabulous! Her (and her family) take such good care of our dachshunds. Jackie was brave enough to take on our 4 month puppy! Our dogs were walked, and cared for beautifully. We rate Jackie so highly and would have no hesitation in recommending her.”

About: I grew up on a dairy farm with all kinds of animals and domestic pets and have had a lifelong love of dogs. I was trusted to look after pets for other people from an early age and regularly look after the dogs of friends, neighbours and work colleagues. I absolutely walking and my morning and evening walks are always the highlight of my day. I am currently working full time in a school five minutes from home, and walk my dog every morning before school and in the afternoon after school. I live in the beautiful Dorset countryside and have some wonderful varied woodland walks on my doorstep. At weekends I usually take dogs to the beach, always the highlight of the week! I am off work for half terms and school holidays and love being able to spend more time looking after pets. I have a fenced garden with room to play and run around and a super friendly cockapoo called Paddington who adores the company of other dogs. I stick to a routine of regular feeding times, two walks every day and regular play time and cuddle time! I will work to the routine of your dog to make them feel safe and welcomed.

“Oscar had the best Christmas holiday with Charlie and Shane. Charlie was very professional and quick to respond to my messages throughout the process. We met for an initial get to know you walk at a local park and met again just prior to Oscar's holiday to go through the essentials and to ensure that we were all happy to go forward. Whilst on holiday we received regular photos, videos and updates on how Oscar was getting on (extremely well) and I was worried he wouldn't want to come home! Oscar will be spending all of his holidays with Charlie and her lovely family in future. We had used another national pet sitting company in the past who were great until this year when the Taunton area were absolutely useless. The Rover site is brilliant. We had lots of responses from potential Sitters who all seemed to be honest and considerate people.”

“From the moment Donna opened her door I knew my old spaniel Lulu would be in good hands. A warm welcome, good communication throughout the stay and a happy dog on my return. Couldn’t ask for more! Many thanks.”

Duncan M.

“Our dog had a wonderful 2 weeks with Sandie & the other dogs - since we've collected him, he's looked quite bored! From the outset, Sandie was very helpful & caring & a pleasure to meet. I would have no hesitation in using Sandie's services again. The only negative does not relate to Sandie herself but to Dog Buddy. I realise they are keen to have reviews but the 1st request was received a few hours after collection & a chase email every day since. Ordinarily this would have deterred me from leaving a review at all & I have only done so because Sandie herself was so excellent.”

Kathleen J.

“Trase looked after Lua ( my Westy ) and she was treated like part of the family. With walks and lots of cuddles. Thanks Trase and I’ll certainly call on you in the future.”

Ryan H.

“Claire was good with information, questions were quickly answered about the stay and she happily accepted our dates and times. Drop off and pick up was really easy. Receiving many photos while we were away was great and reassuring that Tanner had a real variety with walks and mixing with Claire’s dogs and was well looked after. We would have no hesitation in asking Claire to look after Tanner again.”

Sandy O.

“Joan looked after Billy very well and was extremely patient with him when he stole her loaf of bread! Billy was very calm and happy when I arrived home, so no stress for me or him.”

Lucy D.

“We couldn’t have wished for better care to be taken of our young dog. Victoria (and the gorgeous Nala!) were wonderful from start to finish and Tux was very happy and relaxed, despite it being the first time he had been left with a non family member. We are already planning his next visit. Thanks again for everything. Highly recommended!”

Faye L.

“Maggie thoroughly enjoyed her stay with Kirsty and family. They took excellent care of her and we are looking forward to her being able to visit with them again in the not too distant future. Thanks Kirsty x”

Vikki T.

“Holly was amazing with our pups, Bailey and Chispa! She kept in touch throughout the night which gave us so much peace of mind. Her garden setup is perfect for dogs to run around and play, and she also took them on some really lovely walks. Bailey and Chispa were so happy and relaxed with both Holly and her partner Nelson, we could tell they were really well cared for. We’d absolutely book with Holly again and highly recommend her!”

Clara Z.

“What a lovely lady. First time we have ever used a pet sitter. Beatrice made the whole process easy and reassuring for us. Lots of pics and updates during the day and two happy dogs on pick up. We would definitely book again. Thanks so much.”

Heidi H.

“I can highly recommend Erin, she was wonderful with my dog. It was a huge relief to find someone last minute that I could trust. I visited a couple of days before so our dogs could meet, which was really reassuring. Erin had my dog for a week and sent pics regularly of all the wonderful walks she took her on. Her dog was absolutely lovely too. She went above and beyond to make sure my dog had a lovely time. Thank you!”
