“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!”
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.
“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!”
About: Together with my partner Josh, we have experience totaling over 15 years. Most recently with our beautiful rescue dorkie Nissa, who sadly passed this year at age 13. Nissa's journey was a long one full of love, cuddles, international travel, separation anxiety, and complex treatment for Cushing's syndrome, heartworm, and other medical issues. We had so many great dog sitters over the years and we want to pay it forward with competitive rates and top quality care. Additionally, we have 5+ years experience with large family dogs, including Old English Sheepdogs and rescue greyhounds. We have a car and easy access to parks, including large parks for dogs who need longer walks. Your dog will be absolute pampered and spoiled rotten with us! I work from home Monday to Friday, and my job is very flexible so I am able to accommodate walks and handovers feasibly. Josh is home on evenings and weekends too so they will have plenty of love and attention. We have a secure, fenced garden with plenty of grass for potty time. In our local area, there are a range of parks and walks for dogs of all energy levels too. We have plenty of beds and soft places for your dog to rest, puzzles, toys and more.
“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 🥰”
“The best dog-sitter I've ever had. Potato had an amazing time, and will be going again as soon as I need a sitter again. 10 stars, 5 isnt enough. He didn't want to come home!”
“Audrey and her husband were amazing, Dino took to them straight away, and he can act strange with new people. Audrey kept me updated throughout his stay, I would 100% recommend to anyone. We will be using again 😊”
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’ve had some great experiences supporting our furry friends, from the following: - House sitting (multiple nights) - Day time walks - Offering doggy hiking (most recently in Canada!) - Cat sitting - Daytime check-ins to provide some needed company, fuss and attention - Supported dogs of all sizes, very comfortable with big dogs! I always have some poo bags or dog treats in a pocket in times of need… I work a hybrid role which allows me flexibility in my day. I’m typically at the office twice a week and have time on weekends to offer. I’m available for early morning walks, lunch breaks and/or evening strolls. And happy to accommodate for overnight sits if needed during the weeks / weekends. My garden is fenced and has easy access to the River Rea - access to main road is restricted by a lockable gate at the end of an alleyway.
“Shortie was perfectly cared for, I got loads of updates, and he seems to have had an incredible day. Zoey was super responsive and accomodating and understanding of shorties little peculiarities. Thank you guys so much!!”
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.
“Ziyi was wonderful. The communication from start to finish aas great. Lots of lovely photos and reassurance that our Teddy was settled and happy. 100% reccomend and look forward to booking with you again xx”
“So impressed with warmth, care and refusal updates that myself and my 3 yo Meraki have been provided with! Amazing Can’t thank you enough and I could see Meraki loved being around you from the first meet and greet. ✨🙌🏼🫶🏻🤩”
“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.”
“Jiale was absolutely adorable and I felt absolutely comfortable with leaving my pooch with her . Thank you so much for taking so much care of my doggy, and for being so accommodating - I would definitely request to use your services again”
About: I have been walking, training, caring for, grooming, and loving dogs for years. I am home full-time and can be 100% attentive to their needs! I work from home and can walk/play with dogs throughout the day. Our home is on a quiet street, and we have plenty of space. I have a fenced-in garden and live right next to Cannon Hill Park, which has fields, streams, and woods that are great for dog walking.
“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.”

“Our Ted has a nervous personality but you would not know it when you see daily updates from Beverley. Ted clearly loves being around her and is very animated when we get home. Thank you again Beverley, we feel very secure leaving Ted in your care. ”
“I’m so grateful to Benjamin for accepting my request at such short notice! As always, he took such good care of my girls while I was away. The cats and I are incredibly grateful to him for all this care and attention!”
“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've grown up around cats and now have a wonderful tortie of my own who brings new meaning to the word "tortitude", and who has some quirks (mild ataxia, pica) that have made me into a very attentive and responsible owner. Having loved lots of rescues, too, I know that the best way to care for any cat is on their terms. Whether your cat loves attention or prefers their own space, I'll respect their routine and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away. I’ve been sitting various neighbours’ cats for around 2 years now, and it always a privilege to know they trust me to care for them.
“Thank you Eve for looking after Banjo so well. From our first meeting we knew we'd made the right choice. It was so nice to receive your updates and photos. Thank you again...we'll be back in touch, next time we're away.”
“Andreea was absolutely lovely, very attentive and patient with my cats who were a little more shy than usual after moving in recently. I can't recommend her enough! ”
“Absolutely fantastic cat sitter - couldn't recommend James enough! James looked after our cat while we were on holiday and we came back to a very happy cat! James met her every need and gave us regular photo updates. He kept the flat really clean and was very trustworthy. Our cat has IBS, and he was really accommodating to this. He was also prepared to be very flexible when we nearly missed our flight home! Fantastic cat sitter and can't wait to book James again 🐈”
“Abi was great. Reliable and very reasonable price. My cat took to her immediately and she sat with her and fussed her, she didn't just feed her and leave. Me and my son would look forward to our daily photos from her check in. Will definitely call on Abi for our next break.”
“Absolutely fantastic cat sitter, I couldn’t recommend Alison highly enough! 🐾 Communication was excellent from start to finish, and the regular video updates were brilliant. She also sent me voice notes, which was such a lovely extra touch and made being away so much easier. I always feel anxious leaving my cat, but I genuinely felt reassured knowing she was in such good hands. As a cat owner herself, she completely understood how important it is to know that your cat is happy, comfortable and properly cared for. My cat was clearly very happy and well looked after when I came home, which is everything you could ask for. I wouldn’t hesitate to book Alison again the next time I go away. 10/10 ⭐️❤️🐱”
About: 🐈⬛ When people ask me if I'm a cat or a dog person, the truthful answer is both! Cats have such funny characters, and whether they're super independent or a purring lap cat, I love and respect them both. I have 3 years of experience looking after cats and am happy to drop in twice a day. During my visits, I will make sure they have fresh food and water, a completely clean litter tray, and plenty of time for play or affection depending on what they prefer.
“Imogen did an hour drop in on our 10 month old dog, Drogo. She took him for nice long walk and fed him for us whilst we were out. She came and met us and Drogo a few days beforehand and we immediately knew he would be in good hands, and he was! Highly recommend Imogen and wouldn't hesitate booking her again when needed in the future. Thanks so much Imogen!”

About: 🐕 I've loved animals all my life and grew up with both cats and dogs. For the last 10 years, I have looked after other people's pets, providing overnight house-sitting, daily walks or twice-a-day drop in visits. I genuinely love walking and am more than happy to do up to two 1-hour walks a day to keep your dog active and happy. When I care for your pet, they get my full attention, plenty of love, and a consistent routine. 🐈 Cat Sitting: I am equally happy caring for cats, whether they prefer lots of playtime or just someone to check in on them and let them know they're not alone. 🌟 My Experience • Senior & Routine Care: I have a decade of experience looking after elderly dogs, keeping them safe, comfortable, and on their familiar schedules. • Medication: I am patient and comfortable administering daily medications, including eye drops and oral liquids. • Leash Safety: I am very used to walking dogs that need to stay on the lead due to reactivity with other animals, and I always stay alert outdoors - I won't be looking at my phone while I'm with your dog! I'm self-employed and work at home so have a very flexible schedule which means I am happy to fit around yours. I'm also available at short notice. If I am looking after your pet in your own home, I will follow all instructions on how to keep your pet safe and happy, making sure your home security and your pet’s routine are my top priorities. 🐾 Clean & Tidy Space: I am a very neat and clean person by nature, so I will always respect your home and leave your house in tip-top condition for your return. 🐾 Following Routines: I strictly adhere to your walk times, feeding schedules, dietary rules, and medication timings to maintain consistency for your pet. 🐾 Home Security: I will be super conscientious about your home security, ensuring doors & windows are securely locked, alarms are set. 🐾 Leash & Outdoor Safety: On walks, I am always alert and keep reactive dogs safely on the lead, keeping my eyes on what's happening in the environment ahead to avoid potential triggers. 🐾 Updates & Peace of Mind: I am more than happy to send regular photos & updates so you can see how well your pet is doing while you're away.
About: I've had dogs my entire life. Our current home comes with two furry friends of our own who love the company of other dogs. Over the years, I've cared for dogs of all shapes and sizes, including many with unique needs. One of our own dogs is blind, so I have particular experience supporting dogs with visual impairments. I'm also very comfortable managing medication schedules and special dietary requirements, so your dog's routine stays consistent while you're away. Between myself and family someone is home pretty much the entire time. Dog walks and, if you're dog is happy to be involved, runs are a normal part of everyday. We have plenty of spare running harnesses. Dogs are part of the family day to day. We have a large securely fenced garden which the team have constant access to, subject to the weather. Our own two dogs are a little older, but still love a play and are always happy to keep a guest company. Both our dogs very relaxed and quickly settle into having another dog around, if your dog is a little nervous, it's always good to let us know and we can arrange a meet and greet before. If your dog is used to being crated that's great, we can easily accommodate their crate or a travel crate, if not that also fine, they'll be given the space they need.
“Tegan looked after Esme very well and she was a very happy dog when I picked her up. She had contacted me when Esme didn't eat her dinner (due to the heat I think) and I have some lovely photos. Thank you so much”

“Mani was great! I was really anxious about leaving Mouse as she's been a bit difficult recently but Mani was super friendly and reassuring. We have had people struggle with her being high energy and struggling to settle when she is away from home but with Mani she seems to have had a lovely, relaxed day. I was also happy to see her be calm around his dogs as she can be a bit much for other dogs sometimes. I feel like this was a very positive learning experience for her and I'm grateful that I could be confident that she was in safe hands all day.”
“Mona took to Lauren and Helen straight away, they are so loving and caring towards her. They have looked after Mona a few times now and I cannot recommend them highly enough. They have kept me updated, been super responsive to messages and given her extra walks and attention, as well as accommodating my needs in the hot weather They both sit Mona in my home and leave the place spotless. Trustworthy and lovely people- can’t ask for much more!”
“Vicky was very accommodating and treated Freddie with lots of love. This was my first experience of Rover and Vicky put me at ease and looked after Freddie without issue. Would not hesitate to book with Vicky again”
“Bramble had a great time again with Miriam and Cam. He is really happy there, as they give him lots of attention which is what he needs at the minute now he is in his teenage phase!!”
“Marley loved his two days of daycare with Gaynor and Simon. He had a couple of walks each day, he played with their toy poodle Eddie who he got on well with, he had lots of cuddles on the sofa and fell asleep on Gaynor's lap. Gaynor kept in touch with me on how he was settling in and sent me photos.”
“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 🫶🏾”
About: An animal lover since I can remember. When I was a child, I was the one in the family who was obsessed with animals; from having as many pets as I could, visiting family members to play with theirs, watching animal documentaries and begging to go to an animal sanctuary every week. Since I was about 13, I’ve looked after family member pets, from dogs to parrots. When I was 16, I became a co-parent of a gorgeous springer spaniel named Alfie and that’s where my love and devotion to dogs started. Say hello to them in the park, watching Paul O’gradys for the love of dogs and taking care of my Aunties Kings Charles spaniel on weekends when they were at work, I’m pretty much dog crazy! I’ve experienced and looked after all sorts of breeds with all sorts of temperaments, challenges, and needs. I felt, therefore, that offering dog services would be a great way for me to offer help with my experience but also fulfil my love for doggies – a win win! I work from home 9-5 Monday to Friday with lots of availability throughout the day and later in evenings, as well as most weekends being at home too so can arrange my schedule according to your needs. I listen carefully to pets needs and your expectations and offer all the care your dog could need. Dog-walks, dog-sitting and pop-ins is what I’d love to offer at the moment, with hopes to expand to own-home care once a relationship is built with you and your VID (very-important-doggy). As mentioned, I work 9-5 Mon-Fri and have a very loose schedule at work, so have the ability to be out and about throughout the day. I am also free most evenings and weekends to attend to your pets needs. Respect is key - I treat any pet like my own and any home even better than my own! It’s important to get an idea of expectations and boundaries within your home and with your pet and I will always make sure I stick with these. My day job requires organisation, communication and trust, and i delivery this within these interactions too.
“Christie is so lovely, my little doggo was immediately at ease with her. She kept me posted through the day on what are they up to and I could tell they both had loads of fun. Very reliable and great with dogs! Definitely recommend ?”
“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!”
About: I have taken care of a couple of dogs in the last 3 years. A Shih Tzu and a Schnauzer. I had no prior experience beforehand and have adapted well. I do thorough cleans, play time, walks, feeding, bathing, medicine administration and general care and attention I work from home most of my week and look after my Shih Tzu. I live at home with my wife and I am close to my work so I am very flexible with care commitments if I am ever called into the office I live in a secure apartment with gated access, access to 2 patio gardens, 2 roof top gardens. I have plenty of space, green areas and walkable places near me. I have a small Shih Tzu that is very playful with other dogs
“Luna loved her time with Beatriz. So much that we rebooked when we went up to Birmingham for a second time. Beatriz is a true professional and very in tune with what Luna needed. Wonderful updates and photos were lovely to receive. Would highly recommend.”

“Pixie is thoroughly enjoying her walks with Ceri. Ceri treats each dog as an individual, carefully and intelligently tailoring her approach to their personality, habits and preferences.”
About: I’ve had pet dogs for the majority of my life, with experience of small, medium and large dogs of all ages. I’ve cared for puppies to elderly dogs, and my current dog is a rescue. Over my lifetime I feel like I’ve handled anything being a dog owner could throw at you; but dogs still never fail to surprise me! I work from home 2 days a week, so am home all day 4 days a week in total. I’m able to have your dog with me either all day or overnight. I will provide walks and entertainment, and your dog can comfortably relax in a safe environment with a large enclosed garden. I have a comfortable home, with a large enclosed garden. I currently have one small dog myself who will be more than happy to play with your dog, but will equally leave them be if they want some space. I don’t own a crate but am happy for you to bring yours for your dog to spend time in should they wish.
“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.”
“Excellent! Our spaniel took to Imogen straight away and was very excited to walk with her. She was prepared with her own lead and I could see she was able to confidently handle our lively dog. Thank you for helping us out at such short notice!”
“Gracie is doing a great job walking my dogs for me. She is always on time, is friendly and kind to the dogs. I feel confident that she will keep them safe whilst she is walking them and would most definitely recommend her to others as a dog walker.”
About: I'm new to formal dog sitting, but dogs have always been part of my family and I’ve been informally doing this years. Every dog we've had has been a rescue, so I have experience with a wide range of personalities and needs. Because of this, I’ve also got experience caring for senior dogs and those with medical needs, including administering insulin injections to a diabetic dog and managing a controlled diet. I'm patient, reliable, and provide a calm, loving environment where every dog can feel safe and at home. I work at a desk most of the time so am just as grateful as your dog for the chance to get outside and stretch my legs! I work fully remotely Monday-Friday, 9-5pm so I can be attentive to your little ones even during the day and give you peace of mind that they won’t be in short supply of love and company when I’m sitting. As a pet owner, I know how much of a big deal it is to trust somebody with caring for your pet. So I’ll look after them by minimising disruptions to their routine and environment, so they feel happy and comfortable in my company, leaving them to their space and giving them love on their own terms. Clear and detailed instructions are always welcome!
About: I helped out with my elderly neighbour's dog growing up. Now I've left home, I need some puppy love in my life! I'm comfortable with all dog breeds. I mostly work from home, so I am completely flexible! Available all weekdays/weekends and willing to give lots of attention and cuddles to your pet! I have a lovely, friendly older cat. He has become an indoor cat recently due to his age, and we have a litter tray for him.

About: Hiya, I’m Abi. Your local dog walker/pet sitter! I have had cats, dogs and all sorts of other animals from mice to iguanas since I was a young child, however really started caring for them myself for around the past 10 years. I have 3 cats of my own, and now also own my own cat rescue that I run with my partner, rescuing cats and kittens from bad situations, rehabilitating them until ready for their forever home (Left paw cat rescue). I am happy to look after all types of animals, and provide a professional and reliable service! I have recently cut down my hours right down at work to just do one day a week, in order to go into pet sitting/dog walking full time and make it my carrier, therefore mostly fully flexible with lots of availability currently. Have some peace of mind whilst you’re away ensuring your pets are comfortable in their home environment. I provide food/water changes, litter tray scoops and dog walking if this is something you’ve booked. I an enjoy getting to provide all the love, cuddles and play time too if this is something your pet likes! I’ll be more than happy to help out around the house and water any plants, open curtains and of course empty the litter tray(s), or anything else you may require help with! We can arrange a home visit beforehand so you can meet me, and so I can familiarise myself with your home, your pets and their individual needs. I will also keep you updated with messages and photos on each visit, if this is something you would like.
About: I have grown up with 4 Old English Sheepdogs who certainly kept the family busy! I now own a tuxedo cat, Percy. Naturally, I have lots of experience with larger dogs. I previously worked in community healthcare and have encountered a wide range of dogs and cats. I work from home and have a flexible working schedule, allowing me to leave the house for home visits for extended periods of time. I am able to drive to your house and offer overnight stays. I have previously worked in community healthcare and understand the importance of respect and etiquette when entering a client’s home. I act with courtesy and care to ensure a seamless service, leaving your pet well catered for.
About: I've grown up caring for a variety of dogs. I've had my Staffordshire Bull Terrier (Mable) for 8.5 years. Dog's feel very at ease with me, I'm very attuned to a dog's body language and sounds and can tell when they've had enough play time, are injured, or are too warm or just in need of some relaxation/sleep. I'm currently working part-time as a therapist and so your dog will have plenty of time with me for love, walks and access to a long garden. Your pooch will be allowed to roam the house and the long garden which is fenced in. If we go in the car I have a dog bed and seat belt so that our journey is comfortable and safe. I'm very keen on keeping your dog safe and so I'll check the temperatures before we go out and try to pick shaded cooler walks.

About: I've always lived with over 4 dogs and helped people with puppies from all ages. Looking to help out anyone who needs time off! I'm available for boarding at weekends only as I work during the week, I'm very intuitive and very active so looking for a friend to come with! I have a garden and are very close to lots of parks so would be able to keep the dogs very active throughout the day
About: I've had pets all my life and couldn't think of a home without one. Nothing would be me happier than being able to provide your pet with all the love and attention they need. I provide dog walking services and love exploring new places with my new furry friends as well as going back to their favourite spots. I can also care for your dog(s) from the comfort of their own home by dropping by once a day to ensure they are ok and get the attention they require, including feeding, walking and play. I have a certification in ‘Essential Dog Training’ and ‘Animal Welfare’ and I’m currently undertaking a course in ‘Dog Psychology’. I am also planning to take part in a ‘Pet First Aid Course’. In my spare time, I help out at ‘The Cinnamon Trust’, a charity that assists elderly and terminally ill people and their pets, by providing practical hands on assistance with any aspect of pet care that the owners may be faced with. I grew up with a Saint Bernard called Dinky :). As a family we then had 3 Boxers, Peggy, Tequila and Spike, a lively albino boxer; and different cross breeds that we rescued followed. My family now includes myself, my husband, Chris, our boys, Tommaso and Alessandro and our crazy 7 year old German Shepherd, Ruby. I work from home all week and I’m lucky that my job allows me to be flexible and be able to take care of your doggies. I ensure I meet with all pet owners for a brief chat before taking on a booking to ensure routines are followed and all needs taken care of.

“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!”
“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 🥰”
“Audrey and her husband were amazing, Dino took to them straight away, and he can act strange with new people. Audrey kept me updated throughout his stay, I would 100% recommend to anyone. We will be using again 😊”
“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”
“Christopher was excellent. He sent updates and videos each day to let me know how Luna was getting on and when I came back I found Luna, completely relaxed, sprawled on the sofa getting a belly rub so clearly she had a great time! I can't say thank you enough!”
“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.”
“Yang is really friendly, and was enthusiastic about looking after my greyhound Poppy. She was super attentive to her needs while I was away. She kept me up to date on how she was doing, and went out of her way to ensure Poppy was comfortable and ate well. I could not have asked for more, and I look forward to booking Yang again next time I need to travel. Many thanks!”
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!
“Paula was really great with luxe, Paula followed luxe routine and habits, and kept in contact while I was away with how he was doing and pictures of there outings, luxe seemed to be relaxed and happy and I was at ease seeing the pictures and knowing he was happy, I would definitely use Paula again and would highly recommend, thankyou Paula. ”
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.
“Tegan was fabulous with Clive and he really seemed to enjoy his time with her and Will. Most photo updates were of him snoozing next to them on the sofa. Tegan really helped put our minds at ease for the first time we'd left him since adopting him. Would happily use again”
“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.”
“Vicky was brilliant. Really communicative, really flexible and Zeph seemed to have a great time. She gave him loads of time outside and a chilled out evening. Would definitely use again.”
“Mani is a magic man! My Greay Dane is incredibly sensitive (and large!). He is so wonderful with her, incredibly understanding and kind. I was so worried leaving her to go on holiday and Mani made me feel very comfortable. Send multiple videos, photos and updates every day. I think he is now Taylor's new best friend! 💛”
“I have used Justina for both daycare and boarding now. She was very patient with Teddy who has separation anxiety and she sent lots of photos and updates so I could see how he had settled in nicely. Would recommend Justina and will book with her again”
