“Michael took excellent care of my dog in his home while I was away for a few days. Michael kept good contact with me and sent me photos of a very happy dog - I returned back to a very happy dog and even more great photos! I've got full faith in Michael and would fully recommend him I'll be contacting Michael in the future.”

“Loki seemed really comfortable and happy in Cathy and Stan's company. It's great that Cathy understands big dogs and retrievers' love for dirty water sources! He's been snoozing since I picked him up so a good sign he had a blast! ❤️”

About: I have been surrounded by animals throughout my life and have experience caring for a wide variety of pets, including dogs, cats, hamsters, rabbits, guinea pigs, and fish. I have trained my own dogs in agility, achieving Grade 5, as well as in Obedience and Trick Dog disciplines, earning recognised titles along the way. I am passionate about animal welfare and dedicated to providing the highest standard of care. I take pride in offering a reliable, professional service that enables more people to enjoy the companionship of dogs, with the confidence that their pets are receiving exceptional care. I work from home, which gives me the flexibility and availability to provide reliable, attentive care tailored to you and your pet's individual needs. I provide a safe, secure home environment with a fully fenced garden and two friendly, well-socialised dogs to keep your pet company. If preferred, I can also accommodate dogs that are crate trained or require crating as part of their routine. I offer both dog walking and home boarding services. Whether you need someone to take your dog for a local walk while you're at work or a caring home-from-home environment while you're away for a few days, you can be confident your pet will receive attentive, personalised care. I also have three children who have grown up around dogs and understand how to interact with them calmly and respectfully, helping to create a welcoming and family-friendly environment for your pet.

“Amadeusz watched our senior chihuahua for a bit over a week - I was nervous going into it because Ellie can be a bit wary of new people, but she settled right in with Amadeusz! We received regular updates on how she was doing, along with photos - it provided peace of mind that she was well taken care of in our absence. When our return was delayed due to problems with the flight, Amadeusz was very flexible and told us not to worry. We will definitely book again next time we need care for Ellie. Thank you!”

“Geri had an amazing time with Briony, I received regular updates and videos/photos of Geri enjoying herself with the other dogs in the household. I could relax knowing the Briony was conscious of ensuring the dogs were all introduced appropriately, and she was so well cared for whilst she was there. Thank you for taking care of her 😊”

About: I adore dogs, and I am the proud parent to an almost 3 year old rescue pup who equally loves other dogs around to play with. I fully understand the trust, care and consideration needed when leaving your family member whilst you're away, in order to make you and your dog feel safe and worry free 😊 I have always had rescues, so know that all pups have different personalities and anxieties which we are well catered to deal with. I have rescued and fostered dogs in the past, and can offer a stable environment filled with enrichment, cuddles and patience. My own dog Eevee is a wonderful companion, she is patient and non dominant so knows how to behave when a new pup may need some time and space to decompress. I only work on a flexible basis 2 hours of an evening so there is always somebody at home with your pup. I am happy to send all the photos and updates you need while you're away-I know im obsessed with photo updates of my dog when I go abroad! Should you want to do a meet and greet beforehand, I am happy to arrange this as I understand it can be nerve wracking leaving your pooch with someone new for the first time! I am new to Rover, but not short on experience of looking after dogs. With successful foster care under my belt as well as helping out plenty of friends and family in the past I look forward to offering a safe, happy space to care for your pooch where they feel at home :) Currently I work flexi part time for 2-3hrs in the evening. When it comes to weekend bookings I would fit my time around your dogs needs to make sure they are getting the time, love and attention they deserve! Plus its a wonderful excuse for me to stay home all weekend, with nature walks im between as a self confessed home body. I have a fully fenced, good sized garden for your dog to play in. Our own dog Eevee is super easy going and playful. She is used to nervous fosters around so will happily give space should your dog need a little time to warm up! I am happy to follow your lead in routines you like to keep as well as any crating arrangements. Dogs typically have free roam of my home.

“Anita is the ultimate dog sitter! She is extremely caring, vigilant and always reachable for updates, whenever she takes care of my dog Lola. In fact she's been the only dog sitter who knows how to quickly calm Lola down, soon after I've left her. Anita is also a truly wonderful person, sincere, polite and respectful, in every possible way. Lola loves her!”

“Thank you, thank YOU, THANK YOU to Christina and her wonderful family for making us feel at ease and providing the necessary attention, care and love with Harvey & Milo. Will definitely send the boys back to them when we fly from London Heathrow.”

“Barbora was absolutely amazing with my 11 week old Cavapoo and all the challenges a puppy that young brings. She was able to have him with really short notice and was super flexible for me. I will definitely be booking her again”

“Many thanks to Mehalah for looking after Cooper for a week. Very professional and easy to deal with. Nice regular photos throughout the week to show how Cooper was. I will definately be using Mehalah in the future. Thank you so much! ☺️”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs & have owned various breeds. Friends & family regularly ask me to pet sit, and I have recently fostered a dog until he was ready for re homing I am self employed & work from home. I manage my own diary so can be very flexible, I am usually available most weekends too I have no other pets / commitments, your pet will have my 100% care & attention when I am looking after them or walking them

About: I give every dog genuine care and attention as if they were my own. I’m patient, reliable, and focused on creating a safe and loving environment for pets of all ages and personalities. I’m comfortable caring for energetic puppies who need consistency, playtime, and basic training reinforcement, as well as senior dogs who may require extra patience, gentle walks, medication reminders, or special attention to their comfort and routines. I also pay close attention to each dog’s behavior, mood, and needs so owners can feel confident their pets are happy and well cared for while they’re away. I work from home most of the time, which means I have plenty of time to give dogs the attention, care, and companionship they need throughout the day. I’m able to provide regular walks, playtime, feeding, bathroom breaks, and lots of affection without pets being left alone for long periods. I live in a spacious modern first-floor flat in a quiet residential area, which gives dogs a peaceful space to rest and settle in comfortably. Abbey Fields is right on my doorstep, providing plenty of open space for regular walks, exercise, playtime, and fresh air.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs all my life, from German Shepards to Jack Russels so am used to training most sized breeds. I currently have a Schnoodle who loves her walks and interacting with other dogs. I am a member of the DWSA and have a qualification with them also which includes first aid training and dog behaviour I work from home and my job is flexible so I can offer walks and dog boarding at short notice. I also work weekends to cover all my clients needs I have an 80ft garden which is fully enclosed and a bungalow so account for all aged dogs. I always meet the dogs before taking on any clients to make sure the dog and family are happy. I’m fully insured and have a DBS check

“My French Bulldog Haggis had a great time staying with Barry. Barry was very responsive, friendly and clearly loves looking after dogs. Haggis seemed very content after his stay.”

“We honestly can’t recommend John highly enough, Peggy Sue loved staying with him. She was so settled on her trail night with him. She is staying with him again this week while we get married, and it’s so nice knowing how settled she is there. John sent cute photos and updates and it really put our minds at rest :)”

“Thank you so much for having Lilly whilst we were away! She had a fab time, settled in with you really quickly and I'm sure there was a little part of her that didn't want to leave! We would definitely recommend Andrea and wouldn't hesitate to leave Lilly with her again”
