“Jodie was absolutely exceptional from start to finish. She looked after Cookie with such genuine care and attention, and the regular updates, photos, and videos really gave me peace of mind. It was clear Cookie was not only well looked after but genuinely happy so much so, I have a sneaky feeling she actually misses Jodie now! Thank you again for going above and beyond I couldn’t have asked for better care.”
About: I live in Digbeth, in the city centre, in an apartment close to a park. I can offer 3–4 walks a day, depending on what your dog needs. I’ve grown up with dogs all my life, so I’ve always been comfortable around them and genuinely enjoy their company. I also have a little Yorkie girl of my own, who loves playing with other dogs and is very friendly. I’d be happy to look after your dog and make sure they feel comfortable, get plenty of walks and lots of attention while they’re with me. I work remotely, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pets throughout the day. I live close to a park, which makes it easy to fit in regular walks and outdoor time. I also don’t have any holiday plans for the next few weeks, so I’m available and happy to give your pet plenty of attention, care, and company. I’d love to make pet care a natural part of my daily routine! Pets will stay in my home, where I can give them plenty of attention and keep a close eye on them. I live near a park, so they’ll have easy access to regular walks and plenty of outdoor time. I’m also used to cooking for my own dog from time to time, so if your pet needs home-cooked food or has a specific diet, I’m happy to prepare their meals according to your instructions. I’ll always make sure they feel comfortable, safe and well looked after while they’re with me.

About: I have lived with dogs since I was a child, and my family in China has an 18-year-old small dog, so I understand how much love, patience and routine pets need at every stage of life. In the UK, I have also helped look after my friends’ dogs, including Dachshunds, Border Collies and Cocker Spaniels. I have experience with feeding, walking, playing, keeping dogs company and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I genuinely love spending time with dogs and I always try to understand each dog’s personality, habits and needs. I will follow the owner’s instructions carefully and keep them updated with messages and photos. I am currently a student, so my schedule is very flexible. I am usually available on both weekdays and weekends, and I can plan around each pet’s routine. I live in a pet-friendly apartment with safe indoor space, and there is a small dog park at the apartment for walks and toilet breaks.
About: I have looked after my mums dog numerous times and I love animals so much. I don’t have my own dog but I do know how to make a dog happy Hey I’m a full time ballet dancer and I go to work at 10:00 and usually come home at around 6:30pm. I have breaks so could home in between rehearsals if needed. When it’s a show week I probably wouldn’t be able to dog sit. As I finish very late I live in a ground floor flat with a balcony and easy access to the outside. It’s a comfy flat and I would look after your pet well

About: We are Joe and Elise, a young professional couple, both in our late twenties. We have always lived with dogs until we moved into our own house four years ago. We used to regularly dog sit for family, but they moved away last summer. We still sporadically dog sit for friends either for the day or while they’re on holiday. We miss regularly spending time with dogs, but aren’t in a position to get one currently. We would love to spend time and look after yours! We have no pets or children in our home. We both work from home and very rarely have meetings at the same time, so will always be able to let your dog out in the garden, and take them for walks throughout the day. We have a fenced garden and no other pets or children. We live in the centre of Moseley and have access to the private park, so will be able to take your dog out for quick walks or longer strolls throughout the day.

Will definitely want to rebook in future when we go away again. Thank you so much! X”
“Lovely, caring, attentive , kind and considerate lady, Tommy was very well cared for and send me updates without me expecting them so it was a lovely touch.

About: Hi, I'm Yasmin. I'm a dog lover and have a lovely 10 month old miniature dachshund. I work from home and live in an apartment in Birmingham City Centre, we go outside for walks/ toilet breaks around 3 times per day. I have lots of time available to look after little fur babies and my pup is a complete princess so anyone that joins us will be well loved. My dog is very friendly and loves other dogs. I am more than happy to share lots of updates and photos🩷. I have previously had a senior Bichon Frise with medical needs, so I am also confident with senior dogs and administering some medications. I work from home in a very flexible job so can give attention and walks as and when needed. Our current routine is a toilet trip outside in the morning as soon as we wake up, a proper walk at lunch time, a toilet break outside after dinner and another quick trip outside before bed. I work from home so can be very flexible on this. I am happy with dogs on furniture etc. Any outside time is always on a leash. I have an outdoor area at my apartment but often go for walks beyond this around the city or local parks. My dog is a miniature dachshund so we always use the lift rather than stairs to protect her back when going in and out, I also have foam stairs for her to get onto furniture.
“I cannot stress enough how delighted I am to have found Paulina..she is a natural with dogs and my little one has had the best love and care whilst I was away for 10 days.. It's nerve wracking leaving a 7 month old puppy for the 1st time but I had nothing to worry about..Daisy was at home straightaway and I've had my daily fix of videos and pictures that I could see she was enjoying herself so much...home from home...what a find!!!”
“Our dog has stayed with Roberta and her dog Tozi on a number of occasions now and we cannot fault the service, especially on this booking when we had to extend the stay albeit very last minute. Roberta also kept us up to date during his stay. Would highly recommend Roberta as always the service was second to non!”
“Anthony was super communicative and flexible. We arranged a meet and greet ahead of my dog Toby staying with him, which made drop off easier. During the stay, Anthony sent loads of updates and everything went really smooth. Toby had a blast. Highly recommend.”

“Theodora did everything I asked for when it came to looking after my two beautiful kittens. I was at ease knowing they were given love and food/milk/water whilst I was away for a week. Thank you so much for your great service Theodora!”
About: As a cat owner myself, I understand just how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your cat while you're away. I have experience looking after cats of different ages, personalities, and needs, and I know that every cat is unique and has their own routine and way of doing things. That's why I always take the time to get to know their routine and ensure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you're away. I have experience caring for kittens, adult cats, and senior cats, and I'm confident following detailed care instructions, including feeding routines, litter tray maintenance, playtime, grooming, and administering medication when required. Whether your cat is energetic and sociable or shy and independent, I'll adapt my approach to suit them. I'm reliable, calm, and attentive, and I treat every cat as if they were my own. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so I'll keep you updated with regular messages and photos, giving you complete peace of mind while you're away. My priority is to provide loving, dependable care so your cat stays happy, relaxed, and comfortable.
“Sneha did an awesome job with Bash, she sent numerous photos and a detailed summary of each day. Bash almost immediately loved her too, which is a great sign. We got home to a happy and safe cat. Would 100% book Sneha again!”
“Fantastic cat sitter! My cats tend to be really nervous around new people but when Nicola first visited they both came up to her and not ran away. She was great at following the specific feeding instructions and gave great updates each feeding sessions. I would absolutely use Nicola again in the future.”
About: I am a lifelong cat lover and previously raised two cats of my own for 20 and 22 years. Having cared for senior cats, I have plenty of experience with senior pet care and looking after sick cats, including administering oral medications and monitoring their health.

About: Hi! I’m a PhD student based in the UK and a genuine cat lover. Over the past year, I’ve regularly looked after my landlord’s cat, taking care of feeding, grooming, administering oral medication, cleaning litter trays, and providing companionship while respecting the cat’s individual personality and boundaries. I understand that every cat is different. Some are very social, while others need time and space to feel comfortable. I’m patient, reliable, and attentive to their behaviour, and I always prioritise their wellbeing and routine. Whether your cat enjoys playing, cuddling, or simply having a calm and reassuring presence around, I’ll make sure they receive the care they need while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I’ll care for your cat as if they were my own.
“Such a lovely sitter, very understanding and patient with my cat Kiara plus kept us updated with constant videos and check ins ❤️❤️ Will definitely book again thank you Vanda.”
About: I’ve lived with cats for years — a British Shorthair and a Ragdoll — so feeding, litter, brushing long coats, nail trims and spotting the early signs that something isn’t right are all second nature to me. I’m a postgraduate PhD student in Birmingham with a flexible schedule, so I can fit visits around your cat’s normal routine. I’m patient with shy or nervous cats, I’ll follow your feeding and medication instructions exactly, and I’ll send photos and a short update after every single visit.
“Anthea took great care of my cat and I can back to find Chibi cheerful and relaxed. My cat is usually very shy and made friends with Anthea quickly, who provided me timely updates and put me at ease.”
“Lovely cat sitters! Hong Kui and her partner took such fantastic care of our cats while we were away for the weekend! They were so communicative and gave regular updates across the weekend. Their caring approach made our kitties relaxed and happy (even our very nervous cat!). We will absolutely book them again! 😺”
“Sophia was an absolute dream and we will definitely be using her as our regular cat sitter! She was very attentive to Poppy, washed and cleaned all the sheets, kept in regular contact with lots of lovely updates and administered some worming treatment — we didn’t know Poppy needed it, and Sophia sorted it all quickly and expertly. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience reply! I highly recommend, especially if you have a pet who requires a little more attention. Thank you so much!”
“Kat was wonderful! She is very friendly, communicative, and positive. It was a pleasure having her look after our cat. Everything went smoothly, and I felt comfortable knowing my cat was in good hands.”

“Harper was incredibly caring with Brownie 🥹🥰 I could see how much fun he had, and for the first time, as soon as we got home, he went straight to bed 😂. I’m truly grateful for Harper's love and attention towards him. She shared photos and updates throughout their time together, and seeing them enjoy each other and Brownie settle in peacefully gave me a deep sense of comfort and confidence that he was in good hands 🫶🏾”
“Yesi had a great time with Zoey and Pudding. Zoey is very caring, replies promptly, is on time and sends tons of pictures throughout the day. Highly recommend! ❤️ Would definitely use again!”
“Aurora was amazing with Archer! He can be a little shy around new people at first, but she made him feel comfortable and he settled in almost immediately. She sent lots of updates, photos and videos throughout his stay, which really put my mind at ease. It was clear he was having a great time, and I’ll definitely be booking with Aurora again. Highly recommend! ❤️”

She updates me throughout the day with pictures and spends time bonding with him. She’s always someone I can go to as I know she takes time and effort into looking after him😊”
About: Your little doggo will have the most amount of attention in our flat as we don't have any pets of our own at the moment. My partner and I grew up (separately!) having both had Yorkshire terriers. I love spending time with dogs, and our location in city centre in the JQ areas offers lovely little parks and walking areas perfect for local dogs who are used to the area. I have taken care of family and friends animals in the past and will care take watching your little doggo. A little bonus is we have a vet who is a friend and neighbour in the building! I work from home so I'm very flexible. I would at minimum walk a dog twice a day: once in the morning and once in the evening before dinner. If you have specific walking times I am happy to accommodate them if possible. We have a big two bedroom, with a nice large living room/kitchen. It is still a flat so at the moment we're only accepting small-medium doggos for their own comfort.
“Amrita accepted a last minute change of schedule which I’m very grateful for. She took care of Bala and Lucifer and provided lots of updates. And they seem to have had a great time and slept a deep sleep when I picked them up. Would definitely book again.”
“Wivi became Chumbo’s fav sitter for sure, everything is also easy with her and her partner, you can tell they truly care about your pet. Thank you so much for all you do for Chumbo 🩷”

I walked dogs all over the city with the Wag app and had a 5⭐️rating. I have experience walking all different types of dog breeds in one of the busiest cities on earth, so rest assured I will provide your dog with a safe and enjoyable walking experience. I am the go-to petsitter for my friends and family and have cared for small, medium, and large dogs, puppies and senior dogs. I am a lifelong animal-lover and grew up with a Dalmatian dog (Pebbles) and two cats (Poppy and Iris). I do not have any pets so your dog will get my undivided attention! I am currently working from home on a freelance basis so my time is flexible. I can structure my day around your pet's needs and provide plenty of walks and breaks outside. I live next to several green spaces and can easily access fantastic walking routes of all different lengths for your dog. I am an incredibly structured and reliable person, so I can cater my time around your pet.
About: I love animals and genuinely enjoy spending time with both cats and dogs. I’ve had the chance to look after different pets, and I always enjoy getting to know their little personalities.

I’m happy to stick to their usual routine and make sure they feel comfortable and relaxed. I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages, and I’ll care for your pet with the same patience and kindness I’d want for my own. I’m currently self-employed, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to spend quality time with your pet. I’m happy to work around their usual routine whenever possible. I’m naturally tidy and organised, and I often help people declutter and organise their homes. I’ll always respect your space and leave everything exactly as I found it.

About: I have hands-on experience with dog sitting, including caring for my own dog, which has given me a strong understanding of daily routines, behaviour, and overall pet wellbeing.

About: Hi! I'm an undergrad student at UoB, looking to provide love and care to your furry family members. I've grown up with multiple cats as well as dogs. I love them like family and will give your pets that exact same love. I understand each pet has their own personality and needs, and therefore I want to take the time to learn that and work around the cat and their preferences. I currently am self employed so I'm able to be fully flexible to you and your pets needs! Avaliable all hours, night or day, and all days of the week including weekends. I understand each animal is different, so I'll take the time to understand what you are comfortable with and your individual pets needs. I will always spend ample time not just doing the necessities, but going above and beyond to keep them feeling happy and loved.
“Ben has been taking Rosie out on a regular basis since we moved to the area last year. He makes sure she gets some enrichment without overdoing it in her old age. Fed and watered when necessary. She always seems to have enjoyed her time out with him.”
“Sylvia did a great job. Thank you so much for taking my wee boy for a walk. Booked in last minute and she reply in few minutes. Highly recommend Sylvia. She provide pictures and tracking so I know exactly where my dog is :) I will use her service again in the future. Monica.”
About: I have spent my life surrounded by animals, and I cannot imagine it any other way. Over the years I have cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, parrots, turtles, fish, sheep, and many others. Each one has taught me something new, and that range of experience has made me a calm, observant, and adaptable carer. I have a particular soft spot for dogs. I see them as gentle, loyal little companions who give so much love so freely, and I believe they deserve to be cared for with patience, respect, and genuine attention. Because animals cannot use words, I pay close attention to their behaviour, body language, habits, and small changes in mood. To me, this is how real trust is built. A formative experience for me was caring for a rescue Corgi who had a limb amputation. Over two years with her, I came to understand how much consistency, gentle handling, and emotional reassurance can mean to an animal who has been through difficulty. I never consider myself an expert, because every animal continues to teach me more. I currently share my home with two cats, and I have experience with small and exotic pets, including a wonderfully long-lived hamster. I am comfortable following detailed feeding routines, keeping food and litter areas clean, giving medication when needed, and sending regular photo updates so you can feel reassured while you are away. What matters most to me is simple: your pet should feel safe, loved, and understood. I have a flexible schedule and can adapt to your pet’s routine. I’m available for both short-term and long-term care—feel free to get in touch anytime. I maintain a calm, clean environment, follow routines carefully, monitor behavior, and provide updates. In owners’ homes, I respect their space and pets’ familiar habits.
About: I was around dogs and cats since I was 4. Over time developed strong passion and deep understanding of their mood. Big part of my childhood summers spent with dogs at my grandparents house. I was caring about a lot of cats and walked some of them on backyards. Overall had experience with different pets - my own, family’s and friend’s My studying year in university ended and I don’t have other job at the moment, so I have a lot of time to care and play with your dogs or cats at any time Since I will be standing in your home, your pet will be relaxed, feeling safe and comfortable in their familiar territory.

“Laryssa was easy to communicate with when arranging Hank’s pickup and made the whole process seamless. She was fantastic with him, and it was clear he was well cared for. I would highly recommend Laryssa to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker.”

“We were absolutely delighted with Samiksha’s dog-sitting service. She was incredibly kind and went out of her way to come and meet us at the hotel where we were staying on holiday, while we attended a concert on Friday evening. She was punctual, flexible and absolutely lovely with our dog. She took Salty for a walk, kept him company and looked after him beautifully throughout the evening. She was also very respectful and careful with him in the hotel, both in the lounge and in our room. We felt completely reassured knowing he was in such caring and capable hands. We would definitely recommend Samiksha and would happily ask her to look after our dog again. Thank you so much! 🐾❤️”
About: I am a patient and attentive animal lover. I have professional experience administering oral medication and subcutaneous injections to pets. I provide gentle daily companionship and keep your cats calm and happy during your absence. I work from home full time, so I stay indoors most days. I have plenty of free time to keep your lovely pets company and look after them whenever needed. I’m always at home and can keep a close eye on your pets. I create a quiet, warm, and stress-free space for pets, follow all their routines strictly, and keep them safe all day long.
“I was really happy that Nicola came to my house to meet my dogs and I before she walked them. I would not have felt comfortable handing over my precious dogs if she had not done so. They have walked with her quite happily and are clearly comfortable going with her which is a huge vote of confidence I think. I am very happy with the service provided by Nicola and would most definitely recommend her to others.”

When looking after pets in an owner’s home, I follow the instructions they leave as closely as possible to maintain the pet’s usual routine. This can include feeding, walking, administering medication, cleaning up after them, and spending time with them so they don’t feel lonely.

About: Hi! I’m a young professional living with my boyfriend in a spacious ground-floor one-bedroom apartment in Birmingham’s Jewellery Quarter. We are both huge animal lovers and grew up with dogs and cats, so we’re very comfortable caring for pets and understand the attention, exercise, and affection they need. I work from home one day a week and am available to look after dogs on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. We love spending time outdoors and would ensure your dog gets plenty of walks, playtime, and attention throughout their stay. I am available for check ins/ dog walking lunchtimes in the Edgbaston area. We have a car, which means we can also take dogs out to the countryside for longer walks and adventures. Whether your dog is energetic and loves exploring or prefers a more relaxed pace, we’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. We’re genuine dog lovers and would treat your pet as if they were our We would love to look after dogs from Thursday through to Sunday. I work from home on Fridays, which means I can provide plenty of company throughout the day and take dogs out for lunchtime walks as well as morning and evening exercise. We’re very relaxed when it comes to pets and are happy for dogs to be on the sofa and feel at home with us. Our day usually starts around 7am on work-from-home days and around 8–9am at weekends, so we’re well suited to dogs that enjoy an early start as well as those who prefer a slower morning. We’re happy to tailor activities to your dog’s needs, whether that’s long countryside walks, shorter local walks, trips to the park, or simply relaxing at home. If your dog is sociable and enjoys being out and about, we’d be happy to take them to dog-friendly pubs or restaurants. Equally, if they’re more of a homebody, we’re more than happy to spend cosy evenings on the sofa with plenty of attention and cuddles. We live in a spacious one-bedroom ground-floor apartment in Birmingham’s Jewellery Quarter, with easy access to several local parks and walking routes. We enjoy getting outdoors and regularly go on walks around the local area, and we also have a car, which means we’re able to take dogs on longer walks to larger parks or out into the countryside if they enjoy exploring further afield. We’re very flexible and like to tailor our routine to each dog’s personality and needs. Whether your dog prefers a quick stroll around the block, a trip to the park, or a longer adventure, we’re happy to play it by ear and do what makes them happiest. We’re very laid-back pet lover and want dogs to feel completely at home with us. We’re happy for dogs to be on the sofa and, if permitted by their owners, on the bed too. The apartment has hard flooring throughout, making it practical, easy to keep clean, and comfortable for dogs.

At home, I’m a proud pet parent to two cats and my senior dog, Charlie, who’s now 15.

I genuinely enjoy long walks, enrichment time, and making sure pets feel safe, relaxed, and loved. As a professional groomer, I’m also very comfortable with bathing, brushing, and general coat care when needed.

About: I have looked after my mums family pet during my time at home and have recently helped look after her current shar pei. When I lived in Worcester, I have taken my managers dog daschund for walks and taken care of them while she was at work. I've also had many repeat owners use me for dog sitting aswell as drop ins - please see my reviews I have 2 days off a week and every evening so I am looking forward to making some furry friends and keeping active :) thanks I will check all instructions left by the owner on how to care for their pet such as their routine so it's not changed even though they aren't there. This will be tailored to each pet. If it's walks then I'll ask about their favourite places to go and how to walk them. As in not near other dogs or are they allowed off the lead etc

“Hungyi was absolutely fabulous looking after and caring for Luna! We received regular feedback and the communication throughout the whole process was just great. Thank you for looking after Luna, we’ll definitely rebook.”
“Wivi is so wonderful and took such great care of my cat, Midnight, whilst we were away. It was his first time away from home so he seemed anxious but Wivi was so kind and gave him a lovely holiday home. Really appreciate and recommend her! Will definitely want to rebook in future when we go away again. Thank you so much! X”
About: Hi, I'm Yasmin. I'm a dog lover and have a lovely 10 month old miniature dachshund. I work from home and live in an apartment in Birmingham City Centre, we go outside for walks/ toilet breaks around 3 times per day. I have lots of time available to look after little fur babies and my pup is a complete princess so anyone that joins us will be well loved. My dog is very friendly and loves other dogs. I am more than happy to share lots of updates and photos🩷. I have previously had a senior Bichon Frise with medical needs, so I am also confident with senior dogs and administering some medications. I work from home in a very flexible job so can give attention and walks as and when needed. Our current routine is a toilet trip outside in the morning as soon as we wake up, a proper walk at lunch time, a toilet break outside after dinner and another quick trip outside before bed. I work from home so can be very flexible on this. I am happy with dogs on furniture etc. Any outside time is always on a leash. I have an outdoor area at my apartment but often go for walks beyond this around the city or local parks. My dog is a miniature dachshund so we always use the lift rather than stairs to protect her back when going in and out, I also have foam stairs for her to get onto furniture.
“Anthony was super communicative and flexible. We arranged a meet and greet ahead of my dog Toby staying with him, which made drop off easier. During the stay, Anthony sent loads of updates and everything went really smooth. Toby had a blast. Highly recommend.”
“We needed last minute care for our Lurcher Lenny and Alasdair and family were great. We had a relaxed meet and greet and our dog was more than happy to return to the house for drop off. The house and garden are really spacious and we had regular updates from Alasdair. They asked all the important questions about Lenny’s care and they are clearly knowledgable about dogs. It sounds like Lenny really enjoyed spending time with their two huskies. Thank you!”
“Laura was perfect for our dog pickles. We arranged a little meetup beforehand to talk about everything. We immediately trusted Laura. She listened to our care instructions and we didn’t worry about Pickles once. Pickles seemed super happy from start to finish. We got plenty of updates and photographs. Will definitely be coming to Laura again!”
“I am so grateful to Charlotte for looking after Thor, our 7 year old German Shepherd overnight! This was his first time away from home since we got him from the Dogs Trust over a year ago and I was anxious that he may not settle well. Charlotte was extremely caring, thoughtful and professional. She was gentle with him and he made him feel at home, she texted me regularly to let me know how he settles and confirm his preferences and she also shared photos from his stay. When I picked him up he looked really happy, energetic and very well looked after. I am planning to rebook with Charlotte for a longer stay soon and I strongly recommend her!”
About: I’ve been working in the veterinary industry for some time. I spent a lot of time around animals of all ages, and I’ve learned that even though they can’t talk, they have their own way of telling us what they need. I’m especially patient with senior pets who just need a slow pace and a gentle hand, as well as younger ones who are still figuring the world out. My approach is really just about being present and observant—I focus on sensing their mood and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while you're away. I’m not a professional trainer, but I am a great listener when it comes to what your pet is 'saying' through their behavior. I only work 4 days a week. I have no extra commitments outside of work so that gives me extra time to take care of our furry friends. I do not own a pet so no need to worry about comparability, especially for our extra anxious friends. There are parks around my building and so they can have easy access to the greens.
“Beatriz was simply wonderful with our 6-month-old whippet, Walter. She provided a truly caring and professional service, making Walter feel right at home. We especially appreciated the frequent photos and videos, which kept us updated and reassured throughout his stay. We highly recommend Beatriz to anyone looking for a top-notch dog sitter!”
“Milo was looked after like he was part of the family.. I was kept updated with videos and photos throughout his stay.. would highly recommend and will be using again. Thank you to yo and your family xx”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs all my life, I’ve had 3 huskies and now I have a large goldendoodle but she’s at home while I’m here at University studying to become a nurse! Before university I worked for a doggy daycare and dog walking company and absolutely LOVED it, I miss the animals so incredibly as dogs are my complete world. I’m used to walking (both on and off lead) and looking after dogs of all sizes, and I have done house sitting before. With my old job, we looked after dogs of all ages, so newborn puppies to seniors, and all my dogs we have had from puppies so I can help with basic home training needs like toileting etc! I will love your dog like my own, and I can be their special friend to keep them company while you enjoy yourself elsewhere! I am currently at University studying to become an adult and child nurse, so I am in lectures 3 days a week, but the timings of these vary weekly, so I am around all the time on my days off if your furry friend needs constant company, but during days I am at university I can pop in on your pup every 4 hours and spend evenings giving lots of love to the animals! I do not have any pets where I live at the moment, and I know all my dog first aid due to my prior animal experience!
“Brilliant experience with Emily. We left our little boy Mylo for the first time. Emily was great. He settled down with her very quickly. Had a great nights sleep with no issue. We will definitely be using her again and will make recommendations to friends. Thank you Emily (from Mylo).”
“Cooper loved his week with Summer and was sad to leave! We're grateful that Summer waa able to welcome Cooper in to her home and look after him so well. He's settled right back in at home which reassured us he's had a lovely time. We'd definitely ask Summer to have him again - thank you!”
“Maria was amazing with Sissy! Lots of walks, cuddles, and regular photo updates of their time together 💖 Siss came home a very happy and tired doggy. Maria was also very understanding of Sissy’s little quirks as a recently adopted rescue dog. Thank you so much Maria! We’ll be back 🥰”
“Sophie looked after our Cockapoo, Benji, for a week and was absolutely brilliant. We hadn't used Rover before, but we're so glad we found Sophie through it. Benji clearly loved his time with her, and we received regular updates on all the adventures he was having, as well as how well he had settled in. It gave us real peace of mind knowing he was so happy and well cared for. I would highly recommend Sophie to anyone looking for someone to keep their furry family member happy, safe, and loved.”
