“Richie was well looked after by Sophie and Adam and can definitely tell he had a great time! I was kept up to date with lots of photos and updates throughout the day, would highly recommend and would definitely book with them again!”
“Absolutely wonderful stay with Meghna and family, in their lovely home. Snoopy was showered with love, taken for day trips and had the best time with adorable little Tyson. We will definitely be booking in for more dog care again soon!”
“We recently left our dog Charlie in Colin’s care for two nights, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. We were specifically looking for someone who offers one-to-one care, and Colin was absolutely perfect. From the very beginning, he was professional, friendly, and clearly passionate about looking after dogs. Knowing our dog would receive individual attention rather than being in a group setting made a huge difference to us. Colin kept us updated throughout the stay with messages and photos, which gave us real peace of mind. It was clear Charlie was not only well looked after but also happy, relaxed, and getting plenty of attention and care. When we picked Charlie up, he was calm, content, and clearly had been treated like part of the family. It’s such a relief to know we have someone we can fully trust. We’re so impressed that Charlie is already booked in for another stay during our next holiday, which says it all! We would highly recommend Colin’s dog boarding service to anyone looking for a safe, caring, one-to-one, and reliable place for their pet. We’ll definitely be booking again in the future!”
“Astrid made our dog, Snoopy feel very at home - going the extra mile on his birthday with special birthday cookies and a little pressie! You treated Snoopy like he’s your own and he loved every second with you. Thank you very much!”
“Eri, you’re fantastic. You kept us up to date with our dog, Boomer and made sure he was well looked after, cuddled and loved. Will most definitely be using you again if we ever need him to go and stay somewhere. Thank you so much for taking very good care of him for us. Every day there was constant communication to let me know how he was, how he slept, how he behaved and what he was up to. This was my first time using someone outside of the family and I’m so appreciative of Eri, her Husband and her dog Boo, the little cutie. Honestly, thank you so so much ❤️”
“We would 100% recommend Gary and Sue to look after our dog Max for us again. He came home very happy and well looked after. We got regular updates/pictures on how our dog was getting on. Thank you again for giving Max a great little holiday and looking after him for us 😊”
“Shruthinaya and her partner would fantastic, taking on Cody at short notice and looking after him so well for me. He was clearly happy and settled all weekend and they provided plenty of photos and updates. I have no hesitation in recommending. Thank you guys.”
“Gemma and Will were absolutely incredible. So much so that I thought Hammy wouldn’t want to come home! From the initial message the communication was brilliant. Nothing was too much trouble and the regular updates were so lovely to receive. He returned well loved and happy. We wouldn't hesitate to leave Hammy with them again. Thank you for having him!”
“Natalia was amazing with our 11 month old Rottweiler Bruce. He instantly was welcomed into such a calm environment. We were super nervous about leaving him for the first time. But we honestly felt so at ease leaving him with Natalia - he has come back home super chilled and tired. Highly recommend! Thank you so much again!”
About: I love my dogs more than life. I really believe these are not just pets, but family members and thus I know how heartbreaking it is when you have to leave your dog alone even for a quick run to the store. We would like to help your dog with not feeling alone. I am a dog mom of 2 miniature dachshunds and I know how horrible separation anxiety is, thus I would like to give your dog the possibility to ease the feeling. I do not leave my dogs alone, thus I am taking dog care extremely important. I am working hybrid. I will only offer daycare or boarding on days I am home with my own dogs. My dogs are very friendly and very playful. But an initial meeting is required to make sure everyone is happy. I go on 2 long walks daily out to exhaust them. We have plenty of toys and enjoy some cuddles as well as playtime together. I live in a house with a fenced garden and I installed a doggy door, so my dogs have access to it 24/7. As I have dachshunds, we have plenty of ramps and doggy steps to ensure their backs are protected. My dogs are fully vaccinated including kennel cough.
“Sharon and Grant looked after Albie over night before his stay with them whilst we go on holiday. Sharon was great at updating about Albie’s stay and took wonderful care of him.”
“Definately recommend Amy, super friendly and have every confidence she will take good care of our little pug, Otis. Otis was also very tired after his first visit after a good walk and felt very comfortable when we picked him up. Thankyou! ❤️”
About: I’ve been looking after dogs for friends and family for years, often for extended periods while they’re away on holiday. It’s not just quick check-ins, I regularly have dogs for full weeks at a time, so I’m very used to taking on full responsibility for their care and routine. I’ve cared for a mix of breeds, sizes, and personalities, from energetic dogs that need plenty of exercise and stimulation, to more relaxed or older dogs who prefer a slower pace and lots of comfort. What sets me apart is how naturally this fits into my lifestyle. I genuinely enjoy having dogs around, so they’re not just being “looked after”, they’re part of a calm, safe, and friendly environment where they get plenty of attention, affection, and consistency. I’m confident sticking to feeding schedules, walks, and any specific routines your dog is used to, and I understand how important it is for them to feel settled while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you know they’re happy and in good hands. I run my own business from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to prioritise pet care throughout the day. This means I can offer regular check-ins, walks, feeding, and plenty of quality time with your pet rather than just quick visits. Whether your dog needs exercise and routine, or your cat prefers a calm presence and consistency, I can easily adapt my schedule to suit them. Because I’m not tied to fixed working hours, I’m able to provide reliable, attentive care and be responsive to your pet’s needs. I care for pets in their own home where they feel most comfortable and secure. I understand how important routine and environment are, especially for cats, and I make sure to keep everything as familiar and stress-free as possible. With lifelong experience caring for animals, including breeding cats and currently caring for a 15-year-old cat, I’m confident handling a range of needs from energetic dogs to more independent or senior pets. I’m comfortable following specific routines, including feeding, walking, litter care, and administering medication if required. I always take the time to understand each pet’s personality so they feel safe and settled. I treat every home with respect and every pet as if they were my own. You’ll receive regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing they’re in experienced, trustworthy hands.
About: I’ve had dogs around me since a child from puppies to rescue dogs. I’m reliable and trustworthy and will give your dog the same level of care that you give them at home. I’m currently working part time so I have lots of time to play with and care for your dog. I'm available mostly in the week to take for walks and board and can be flexible with weekends. I have a fenced small garden so your pet is safe, there is also lots of parks and open land locally to take your dog for fun walks. There is also space for crates if your dog requires it.
“Julia was amazing, super quick to respond and really reassuring throughout. You could tell Kanan had a great time! She kept me updated with plenty of photos. I’d definitely recommend Julia if you’re looking for someone to look after your furry friend 😊”
“I booked Chloe at short notice after another arrangement fell through, and from her first message I knew Yoji would be in safe hands as she asked all the right questions. I received regular photos and videos, and came home to a very happy, tired pup. I’d happily book with Chloe again.”
About: I had a fox red Labrador for 11 years, he was a huge part of our family. He was diagnosed with epilepsy at 10 months on and I administered his medication twice a day and remained calm when he had a fit. Unfortunately he has spent the last few months with my ex-husband and now resides with him (against my wishes) however I see him regularly and take him on walks but my home feels empty without him so i decided to fill this void and offer a loving smoke free environment to other fur babies who need someone in the daytime or board to help his/her parents out from time to time. I work Tuesday to Friday from home and Monday is my day off so I’m available all day to support any needs. I am up by 7am to receive any daycare fur babies I have a fenced off garden and there are some lovely local walks with lots of places for exploring. My home is open plan and comfortable for day visitors or overnight stays

“We were away for two weeks during the UK heatwave, so I felt quite anxious about our cats back home but Zoey went above and beyond to make sure they were happy, safe and comfortable throughout. It's so clear how much she genuinely cares about animals and that gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. She kept us updated every single day with photos and videos which we really appreciated. When our journey home was unexpectedly delayed, Zoey even offered to pop back over to check on them, which was such a thoughtful gesture and really showed how much she cares. We came home to two happy and healthy cats and I couldn't be happier with the service. We wouldn't hesitate to book Zoey again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable and trustworthy pet sitter. Thank you so much Zoey!”
“I can highly recommend Rhiann to look after your pets. Especially appreciated that despite the short notice she was happy to "cat-sit" for us for a week. Also, I was very grateful she didn't mind caring for our two budgies as well. ”
“Amazing, dealt with a grumpy morning cat very well. Was brilliant at keeping me informed on my cat, even managed to get some photos of her too. Loved reading the information about the visits. So glad to have opportunity to have her look after Gaia while I was away. Will be first one I call when needing care.”
“Katie is a five star very reliable cat sitter and our cat was well cared for and happy. She was very quick to respond to any communication needed during our holiday. Katie didn't need much in the way of instructions, she picked up everything she needed to know very speedily! We would definitely recommend Katie for your cat sitting needs. ”
“Crystal did a fantastic job at looking after my two kitties for the past few days! Sent regular updates, images/videos and had clear communication the entire time. I highly recommend, and we will be booking with Crystal again. 😊”
“Nataly was a last minute replacement as another sitter had cancelled with less than two days’ notice. We met the day before I travelled (less than 24 hours after I booked) so Nataly could meet Poppy and understand her needs. She was an excellent sitter and made frequent contact with me which was reassuring. I would definitely recommend to others.”
About: I’ve looked after cats my entire life and have a deep understanding of their behaviour, needs, and routines. I previously bred cats, which means I have hands-on experience caring for them at every stage, from kittens through to adulthood. I currently have a 15-year-old cat, so I’m very familiar with senior care, including patience, routine, and recognising subtle changes in behaviour or health. What sets me apart is my calm and intuitive approach. I understand that every cat is different, whether they’re affectionate and playful or more independent and reserved. I take the time to build trust and make sure they feel safe and comfortable in their own environment. I’m confident with feeding routines, litter care, and maintaining a clean, stress-free space. I can also follow specific care instructions if your cat has particular needs. I’ll always keep you updated with messages and photos, so you can relax knowing your cat is in safe, experienced hands.
About: Premium, stress-free care for your favorite feline. Whether your cat needs high-energy playtime or quiet companionship, I provide reliable drop-in visits tailored to their unique personality. Trustworthy care, fresh food, clean litter, and guaranteed purrs!"
About: Im Courtney and i cant wait to spoil your cat and others with all the cuddles and treats they deserve! Ive had many animals in the past (and still do), but my number one baby is my black cat called Rosie. She has been in my life for 18 years now! Even know she has a grumpy face, she is the most sweetest cat ever. I have a friendly, creative and compassionate personality. Ive always wanted to get into animal work of my own such as animal sitting, i love seeing all the different smiles from all fur babies
About: I’ve helped look after cats a few times over the last year, feeding them and giving them plenty of fuss. While many cats like their space, I respect that, but for those who enjoy cuddles, I’m happy to give them all my attention. I’m also keen to learn and adjust to each cat’s needs, whether that’s giving medication or helping with cleaning.
About: I became a dog and cat groomer in 2021 and have since done training in handling, management of, behaviour and care to make sure all my clients (furry or not!) have the best possible experience with me! This training has helped me so much with walking and sitting for friends and families pets. I joined Rover to broaden my horizons and meet more like minded people and their pets. I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies! Please note: House sitting is not a 24 hour service. During the week I will attend my 9-5 job, during my breaks I will come back to your house to provide your pets with company and any outside time they need (Weedon only!). House sitting during weekends will consist of popping in and out of the house to toilet and keep your pet some company for a few hours per visit, provide walks if needed, an overnight stay is included Rover has a very limited selection of services they offer, however I understand that not all prices shown are specific to each situation e.g additional pet rates, care required per pet and size of dog ect. Please contact me if pricing seems too high and we can amend this accordingly. I'm available for house/pet sitting on weekends and some Mondays, I can walk dogs in the evenings on weekdays and am available all weekend for this too Every safety precaution will be taken when pet sitting at your home, I'm happy to meet prior to the service in order to gain more understanding of your home and safety concerns. When walking, I will be happy to double lead dogs if you wish and stick to areas they know and are comfortable with if needed
About: What sets me apart from other dog sitters is my unique blend of experience and passion for all stages of a dog's life. I grew up around dogs and now that I have moved out I am really missing their company so would love to help out. I currently work from home so I will be at home nearly every day so I will be able to give my full attention to the animal. I have a fenced garden where the animals can go, however I love long walks so they will get plenty of outdoors time. We live in a one bed house so will have space for a crate
About: Cats have always been a huge part of my life and I understand how important it is for them to feel safe and comfortable in their own environment. I specialise in home visits for cats, making sure they can stay relaxed in their familiar surroundings while their owners are away. Every cat has their own personality, so I take the time to understand their routine, behaviour and preferences to make visits calm and stress-free. During visits I provide feeding, fresh water, litter tray cleaning and plenty of attention, playtime or quiet companionship depending on what each cat enjoys. I am also feline first aid trained and fully insured, and I send photo updates during visits so owners know their pets are happy and safe.

“Eri was great with Mario and provided me with photos and videos throughout his stay! Eri was warm and welcoming from the first meet and made sure Mario was comfortable and relaxed whilst staying with her for the day, I am very grateful!”
“I would highly recommend Nataly to anybody that would need somebody to look after their dog or puppy while at work. She has sent photos and given updates throughout both days Luna has been with her so far, and has also given me some tips on how to keep her burning energy even when she is eating, which is great considering Luna is a very energetic 9 week old puppy. This was my first time arranging anything like this, so I was anxious at first but I am very glad that I have found Nataly to look after Luna. Luna has come back home happy each time and I will definitely be arranging more days for Luna to see Nataly!!”
“Natalia was reliable, friendly, and very easy to communicate with. Our dog was clearly well cared for and comfortable. It was a very positive experience overall, and we would happily book with her again. Thanks Natalia!”

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was little and have always been surrounded by cats!! I started a mini dog walking hustle when I was in secondary school and became quite the little entrepreneur around the neighbourhood I’m currently pregnant and working part time so have plenty of spare time on my hands that I’d love to take up with some much loved animal time!! I have a large house with a big spacious garden. I live very near a field so there’s lots of room for exercise and have some great walks around me??
“Jessica has been amazing and I cannot speak highly enough regarding the fantastic care she has given to my 2 dogs. This is the first time Ive left them, and I was worried about whether it was the right thing to do. Jessica quickly allayed any fears. We had a meet and greet the day before, and went out for a walk to get to know each other. Jessica is very personable, easy to chat to, and most of all so gentle and caring with dogs. I left them feeling confident about the fact they would be well looked after, and they were. I got lots of updates and pictures throughout the day, and when I went to pick up my dogs there were calm and relaxed. I would not hesitate to book again. Thank you Jessica”
“Amy and Tristan made me feel completely at ease from the moment I met them. They are friendly and caring and kept me updated throughout Koah’s stay. Koah came home happy and worn out after nice walks in the local woods! I would recommend and will definitely be using them again. Thank you!”
About: With years of hands on experience with my own dogs, I treat every dog like my own- offering patience, love and reliable care. I focus on building trust, understanding each dog’s personality, and making their time away from you stress-free. I have retired early from a long teaching career so I now have time on my hands to pursue other pleasures in life. My time is pretty flexible now on a weekly basis for daily dog walks and short or longer dog boarding in our lovely home. Our home has a walled secure garden. Dogs are free to roam around downstairs and come and go into the garden as they please. The kitchen tends to be the favourite place as there’s a warm range cooker on at all times. I also have a crate for dogs if they need a little space or time out! I have two elderly mini schnauzer’s and a old black lab who are all very laid back!
About: I’ve had dogs all throughout my childhood, and now I have moved out of home and bought my own place, I’m looking to help others with their furry bestie. I work from home during the week on a flexible work pattern, so I’m able to pop out and attend to your dogs needs when necessary. I have a fenced garden (with grass!) and a camera outside the house for extra protection. I work downstairs so your dog will never feel like they are alone.
“Sharon & her family are lovely, kind genuine people. Valle was very happy staying with them & looked after very well. Sharon kept me updated & sent photos. Would definitely recommend her services, it’s obvious she’s a dog lover & her home has a lovely calm, relaxed atmosphere - Valle will definitely be back to stay with them.”
“Another fantastic day. Orla was very excited to arrive and although pleased to see me and tired she was very happy. Thank you for looking after my lovely girlie with such care. ❤️”
“Pippa is so lovely and kind. Harper was in good and safe hands. I have been updated within the day and looking my girl was having good time and enjoying. Definitely will be leaving Harper again with peace in mind.”

About: Hi! I’m a caring and responsible dog lover who has been a dedicated dog owner since April 2020. Although I don’t have formal pet sitting experience, I have hands-on experience caring for my own dogs every day — including raising a few newborn puppies. This has made me especially patient, gentle, and attentive to dogs’ needs at every stage of life. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet. I will treat your dog like my own family member, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved at all times. Pet care is already part of my daily life as a dog owner, so I easily incorporate it into my routine. I am available after 4:30pm on weekdays and all day on weekends. I also work from home one day between Tuesday and Thursday, which means I can offer daytime care and keep your dog company instead of leaving them alone. I have a flexible schedule during these times and can provide reliable, attentive care, ensuring your pet receives plenty of companionship, supervision, and love. I specialise in caring for pets in their own home, where they feel most comfortable and secure. By keeping your pet in a familiar environment, I help reduce stress and maintain their normal routine. I carefully follow all instructions, stay attentive to their behaviour, and make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for at all times. This approach is especially beneficial for dogs who are anxious, shy, or simply prefer staying in their own space. I’m also happy to provide regular photo and video updates for your peace of mind.
About: I've taken care of dogs “professionally” ever since I’ve been 14 years old. This also doesn’t include the fact I have grown up with them during childhood. Neighbours, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I have a senior dog myself since she’s been a puppy I’ve been there for all her care and support necessary including surgery recovery. I am a student. Even if I’m not home which most likely I will be the whole time there will be a resposible adult home. I am completely available to board from Friday till Sunday with acceptions on weekdays. Sitting and walking can occur from weekdays and weekends. I have a fenced yard and a friendly dog to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if needed, kept separate, walks only on leashes and alone.
About: A caring family that have a love for animals. My wife and I have had dogs all of our lives and are excited to welcome your dogs in to ours too. We unfortunately lost our much loved dog last year and have since been caring for our families pets during breaks and holidays. We loved the joy these moments bring us. At least one of us is always home all day and the company of an animal makes every day better. Our back garden will offer ample toilet and play opportunities. I am home all day during the week. My children will be at school between 09:00 - 15:30. My children are animal lovers too and are responsible around them. We have a lovely fenced garden that can offer toilet and play opportunities for your animals. I also have years of experience in walking dogs.
“We were very pleased to meet Nataly for the first time today. She arrived promptly and was immediately liked by our pets. She has a lovely caring manner and asked all the relevant questions about their care which gave us great confidence that they would be looked after competently and kindly. It was a wet day for walking and our dog was muddy on return and Nataly carefully cleaned her paws and legs. We would recommend her without hesitation”

About: Reliable, caring, and deeply attentive. I treat every dog as if they were my own. Whether your pup needs a high-energy sprint to burn off steam or a patient, gentle stroll with plenty of sniff breaks, I tailor every walk to their unique personality and needs. I pride myself on punctuality, clear communication, and providing peace of mind to busy owners with regular photo updates. Your dog’s safety and happiness are always my top priorities. I have a lovely Jack Russell cross she is 16 years old we have had her as a rescue dog she came to us aged 5 so I am used to dealing with elderly dogs I’ve spent years supporting my husband with his business on a part-time basis, which has given me the flexibility to manage my time well and step in where I’m needed most. Now that I’m stepping away from that role, I have the freedom and availability to dedicate my full attention to caring for your pet—I take that responsibility seriously, and I’m ready to give your companion the reliable, loving care they deserve. When you can't be there, my goal is to make my short drop-in visit the absolute best part of your dog's day. I offer structured 30-to-45-minute visits designed to handle the essentials, burn off some energy, and give you total peace of mind.

About: Having had rescued dogs throughout my whole life, I understand each dogs needs are varied and the wide responsibilities that comes with that. I have masses of experiences in walking family dogs and looking after them independently. I have pet sat for many friends and feel I am truly reliable and can be trusted. I have recently moved to the area to be closer to my family, and have full availability for looking after any pet needs. As I only work from home for a few hours per week, I can be available what you are at your full time job and look after your pet. I do not currently have any ability to sit any dogs in my home. In an owners home, I will make sure the pet is always well looked after, with regular walks, lots of attention and well timed feeding.
About: I’ve grown up around both cats and dogs and have over 13 years of hands-on experience caring for my family’s golden retriever, whom I’ve looked after from puppyhood through to her senior years. This has included supporting her through surgery, managing recovery, and providing attentive care as she’s aged and become more fragile. I’m experienced with all aspects of dog care, including daily walks, bathing, feeding, administering medication, and giving plenty of attention and affection. I’ve also cared for dogs both privately and professionally, looking after pets for family friends as well as clients, always ensuring their routines, needs, and comfort are maintained while their owners are away. I’m confident working with dogs of all ages, breeds, and sizes, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who may require extra patience and support. I adapt easily to each dog’s individual personality and routine, and I’m comfortable managing specific needs or special instructions to ensure every pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I’m currently working bank staff, which means I’m very flexible. I have a lot of spare time and I’m free any time of day or night, even on short notice. If you prefer to pick your dog up early in the morning or late at night, that’s completely okay. I live in a house shared with close friends while attending university, creating a calm, friendly, and stable environment for pets. We have a fully fenced garden that’s ideal for quick and safe toilet breaks. The house is also conveniently located near a park, making it easy to provide regular walks and outdoor enrichment. I’m committed to ensuring pets feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for while in my home.

About: I became a dog and cat groomer in 2021 and have since done training in handling, management of, behaviour and care to make sure all my clients (furry or not!) have the best possible experience with me! This training has helped me so much with walking and sitting for friends and families pets. I joined Rover to broaden my horizons and meet more like minded people and their pets. I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies! Please note: House sitting is not a 24 hour service. During the week I will attend my 9-5 job, during my breaks I will come back to your house to provide your pets with company and any outside time they need (Weedon only!). House sitting during weekends will consist of popping in and out of the house to toilet and keep your pet some company for a few hours per visit, provide walks if needed, an overnight stay is included Rover has a very limited selection of services they offer, however I understand that not all prices shown are specific to each situation e.g additional pet rates, care required per pet and size of dog ect. Please contact me if pricing seems too high and we can amend this accordingly. I'm available for house/pet sitting on weekends and some Mondays, I can walk dogs in the evenings on weekdays and am available all weekend for this too Every safety precaution will be taken when pet sitting at your home, I'm happy to meet prior to the service in order to gain more understanding of your home and safety concerns. When walking, I will be happy to double lead dogs if you wish and stick to areas they know and are comfortable with if needed
About: I’ve had dogs all throughout my childhood, and now I have moved out of home and bought my own place, I’m looking to help others with their furry bestie. I work from home during the week on a flexible work pattern, so I’m able to pop out and attend to your dogs needs when necessary. I have a fenced garden (with grass!) and a camera outside the house for extra protection. I work downstairs so your dog will never feel like they are alone.
About: I have had a childhood dog since i was 5, I have always had a passion for dogs. Ever since my childhood dog passed I have missed the dog walks and love brought to you from them. I would love to help others out with their pets and enjoy dog walks again and create a special bond with each dog. I will be doing these services alongside my best friend Lewis, any money earned from these services will be put towards starting our own dog sitting/walking business. I am currently working as an independent travel agent from home and I am self employed so I am available all week and most times I have a fenced garden, it is fairly big and dog friendly. I have a few dog toys I have kept from my previous dog that are also available.

“We would 100% recommend Gary and Sue to look after our dog Max for us again. He came home very happy and well looked after. We got regular updates/pictures on how our dog was getting on. Thank you again for giving Max a great little holiday and looking after him for us 😊”
“Shruthinaya and her partner would fantastic, taking on Cody at short notice and looking after him so well for me. He was clearly happy and settled all weekend and they provided plenty of photos and updates. I have no hesitation in recommending. Thank you guys.”
“Gemma and Will were absolutely incredible. So much so that I thought Hammy wouldn’t want to come home! From the initial message the communication was brilliant. Nothing was too much trouble and the regular updates were so lovely to receive. He returned well loved and happy. We wouldn't hesitate to leave Hammy with them again. Thank you for having him!”
“Natalia was amazing with our 11 month old Rottweiler Bruce. He instantly was welcomed into such a calm environment. We were super nervous about leaving him for the first time. But we honestly felt so at ease leaving him with Natalia - he has come back home super chilled and tired. Highly recommend! Thank you so much again!”
“Sharon and Grant looked after Albie over night before his stay with them whilst we go on holiday. Sharon was great at updating about Albie’s stay and took wonderful care of him.”
About: I’ve been looking after dogs for friends and family for years, often for extended periods while they’re away on holiday. It’s not just quick check-ins, I regularly have dogs for full weeks at a time, so I’m very used to taking on full responsibility for their care and routine. I’ve cared for a mix of breeds, sizes, and personalities, from energetic dogs that need plenty of exercise and stimulation, to more relaxed or older dogs who prefer a slower pace and lots of comfort. What sets me apart is how naturally this fits into my lifestyle. I genuinely enjoy having dogs around, so they’re not just being “looked after”, they’re part of a calm, safe, and friendly environment where they get plenty of attention, affection, and consistency. I’m confident sticking to feeding schedules, walks, and any specific routines your dog is used to, and I understand how important it is for them to feel settled while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you know they’re happy and in good hands. I run my own business from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to prioritise pet care throughout the day. This means I can offer regular check-ins, walks, feeding, and plenty of quality time with your pet rather than just quick visits. Whether your dog needs exercise and routine, or your cat prefers a calm presence and consistency, I can easily adapt my schedule to suit them. Because I’m not tied to fixed working hours, I’m able to provide reliable, attentive care and be responsive to your pet’s needs. I care for pets in their own home where they feel most comfortable and secure. I understand how important routine and environment are, especially for cats, and I make sure to keep everything as familiar and stress-free as possible. With lifelong experience caring for animals, including breeding cats and currently caring for a 15-year-old cat, I’m confident handling a range of needs from energetic dogs to more independent or senior pets. I’m comfortable following specific routines, including feeding, walking, litter care, and administering medication if required. I always take the time to understand each pet’s personality so they feel safe and settled. I treat every home with respect and every pet as if they were my own. You’ll receive regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing they’re in experienced, trustworthy hands.
“Julia was amazing, super quick to respond and really reassuring throughout. You could tell Kanan had a great time! She kept me updated with plenty of photos. I’d definitely recommend Julia if you’re looking for someone to look after your furry friend 😊”
About: I had a fox red Labrador for 11 years, he was a huge part of our family. He was diagnosed with epilepsy at 10 months on and I administered his medication twice a day and remained calm when he had a fit. Unfortunately he has spent the last few months with my ex-husband and now resides with him (against my wishes) however I see him regularly and take him on walks but my home feels empty without him so i decided to fill this void and offer a loving smoke free environment to other fur babies who need someone in the daytime or board to help his/her parents out from time to time. I work Tuesday to Friday from home and Monday is my day off so I’m available all day to support any needs. I am up by 7am to receive any daycare fur babies I have a fenced off garden and there are some lovely local walks with lots of places for exploring. My home is open plan and comfortable for day visitors or overnight stays
About: I have had dogs all my life, from a Bichon Maltese to a Golden Retriever. Most recently, I had my own Golden Retriever, so I understand the commitment, responsibility, and joy that come with caring for a dog every day. I know what it means to provide love, attention, exercise, and a safe, happy environment. I truly understand life with a dog and will care for yours as if they were my own. I work full-time, 9 hours a day, Monday to Friday. I'm usually available from 5PM, Tuesday to Friday. Most weekends I'm also free, unless I already have plans. I'm sure we can discuss the details and find a schedule that works well for everyone. I have a secure, fenced garden with no grass and a decked area just outside the house. My home is spacious, clean, and safe, with nothing that could harm your dog. There is a field nearby for regular walks, and if your dog is comfortable travelling by car, I can also take them to a local park for longer walks and extra exercise.
About: I’ve been an animal lover right from the start but have always been drawn to looking after dogs specifically! I have a dog myself, she is 11 years old and i don’t remember a life without her, she’s truly my best friend. Therefore i have experience looking after dogs from puppies all the way to senior dogs. I’ve always loved caring for her aswell as my neighbors and friends dogs! I’m currently working part-time on weekends so i have plenty of time during the week to give your pooches plenty of attention! I’m available for boarding monday to thursday nights and monday to thursday daytimes, however i’m able to shift around my schedule sometimes if this doesn’t quite work for you so drop me a message! I have a big, fully fenced garden and 1 eleven year old cocapoo who’s so lovely and would happily keep your dog company! However, i’m always happy to do what makes you feel most comfortable including crating.
“Maple had a great time on her first stay away from us. Becky was very easy to deal with and gave lots of updates and pics during the stay. Would highly recommend and will definitely use again.”
“Martine and Alex were really great hosts. Lio and Sócrates came back very relaxed and the pictures they shared during the stay were showing them chilling and having a good time, which it means they were very well cared. I totally recommend their care, thank you!!!”
“5 stars++. We didn’t have time for a proper meet and greet, but Ka Lam immediately put us at ease. She clearly cared about Madi from the start and treated her like her own. We got regular updates showing Madi out on walks, playing, eating well, or doing little sniffing games indoors when it rained. It was obvious she was happy and comfortable the entire time. Madi came home cheerful and calm — we couldn’t have asked for better care. Thank you, Ka Lam!”
“Hannah has been a godsend, Meg absolutely loves her and her dog Hunter. I have been very lucky to find someone close by who knows all about dogs and the care and patience our dog needs. Hannah sent regular updates photos and videos. We knew that Meg was in good hands.”
