“Sarah was brilliant with my dog who is quite anxious and fussy! My dog had the best adventures and so much attention that I don’t think he missed us. I loved seeing the pictures of what they were getting up to and we were able to relax knowing he was well cared for. Thank you so much Sarah”


“What can I say, this by far is one of the best home stays Rio has had! Bruna and her family have been fantastic from the moment I made contact with them. From the very first conversation we had I knew Bruna was the right fit for Rio from the questions she asked. I could tell straight away that she and her family will love and care for Rio in the same way that we do and I wasn’t wrong. Bruna knew I was nervous about leaving a very precious member of our family with her but from the moment we dropped Rio off she made sure to put my nervousness to rest. She was prepared with lots of questions before we left and whilst we were away I got regular updates throughout the day. She has kept his routine that he has at home and looked after him really well during this heatwave. Bruna and her family have done everything to make their home welcoming for Rio and taken exceptional care of him. I would not hesitate to leave Rio with Bruna again, if anything I hope Bruna and her family can be regular carers for Rio. I would highly recommend Bruna for any kind of dog sitting / boarding, she is so loving and caring and has treated Rio like her own. Thank you so much Bruna ❤️.”

“Shirley is really friendly and easy to work with. She’s is very welcoming, kind and caring to our dog. Communication is very prompt and lots of it which is always a good thing. She’s very accommodating and Domino had a great time with her. I surprised he came home, she spoilt him that much! Thank you, Shirley, Domino is looking forward to staying again!”


“Kitty the Cavapoo loved her long holiday with this lovely family. She was cared for as if she were their own. Regular updates throughout the stay were reassuring and always timely making us feel really comfortable and stress free on our holiday. So lucky to have found Nicola and Rebecca and would highly recommend them to anyone. Great service that truly cares for your treasured furbaby. Thankyou.”


“Will and Megan were brilliant. They sent plenty of photos throughout Benji’s stay and he had so many walks/play times across the weekend. I can always tell when Benji was happy as when he returns home he remains super relaxed. I would absolutely reccommend. Thank you!”


“Hannah is a really experienced dog sitter/expert and her knowledge and calm approach is really reassuring. She also listens and takes into account all of our needs and nuances and our puppy was very happy with this one day & night stay. We'll be using Hannah's dog boarding services again without hestitation.”

Lots of time for plenty of walks and cuddles. Your pet will never be alone I have a huge fenced enclosed garden and two very friendly dogs to keep yours company.

“This was Penny's 4th stay with Claudia and already have her booked for a 5th. We wouldn't want anyone else to look after her when we are away. Penny loves her stays and always runs straight into the house when we drop her off. Great communication throughout our holiday. We thoroughly recommend Claudia.”


“I felt reassured that my dogs were well looked after whilst they were with Dylan. We met before I completed the booking for a little walk so he could meet the dogs. I received pictures and updates throughout their stay. I will definitely book again.”


“AMAZING. Please book Olivia to look after your doggies, she's utterly amazing. My quirky boy stayed with Olivia for 5 nights and my mind was so at ease, lovely photos and updates, my 9 year old Yorkie is a good boy but does have his quirks, he's not great with other dogs but loves people so Olivia's set up was perfect for him. He was taken out for nice safe walks twice a day and was so well cared for. Rocky had the best time staying with Olivia. Will definitely be using again.”


“Leeann is absolutely amazing with animals. From the first conversation we had about Rusty’s needs and right through his stay with her she was wonderful. Rusty came home from his holidays a very happy and very much fitter boy. He enjoyed lots of walks, playtime and cuddles galore. Leeann sends regular updates and photos which is always appreciated. I cannot recommend her enough as a caring person for your furry friends.”



About: I’m an animal osteopath and I've always loved dogs! Growing up with my own dog for 15 years and then volunteering at an animal shelter for 3 years has enabled me to connect with dogs of different size, age, disability and temperament. I studied animals for 5 years in an osteopathy school and have been working with animals ever since. I've worked with: cats, dogs, rabbits, horses, ferrets, and even farm animals. My osteopathy background means I’m extra attentive to your pet’s comfort and mobility, and can notice subtle signs of discomfort or changes in behavior. If I notice anything off, I would make sure to notify you. If you’re new to rover, you can get 15£ off your first booking using this promo code : MARIEB93624 Being self-employed, I have the flexibility to organize my schedule. This enables me to integrate pet care in my daily routine and adapt to your pet’s needs easily. My pet sitting services are adaptable to your and your pet’s needs. I’m happy to meet you and your pet before starting the service so that we can have a chat. My services: 🦮| Dog walking: I will pick up your dog at your address, and go for a 30' walk around your neighbourhood, if there's a park, we'll go to the park or if you have any specific route I'll be happy to follow it. If you're used to running with your dog it's also a possibility, just let me know in advance. 🚶♀️➡️| Drop-ins: I will come to your house for a full 30', make sure your pet has food, water, play-time, short potty-time if needed (doesn't replace a walk) and I can administer medication if needed. 🐶| Doggy day care: I accept pets at my house as long as they are cat-friendly and that you're ok for your dog to be potentially separated in an extra room if needed. During the day we will alternate between play-time in the back yard (well-fenced), walks in the reserve next to the house, mental stimulating games at home and of course, naps. 🏠| House-sitting: I do not offer overnight stay at your house, but I can be present for up to 6h in the day (timings may vary depending on your location, to be discussed during a meet and greet). During that time, I will take full care of your pet as well as any small house necessities.

Marie B.
“Marie took care of my cat during two weeks while I was away. At first I was a bit worried because my cat is quite savage with strangers and really fearful when in another environnement than her home. I felt sorry for my cat just as much as for Marie. But I've been happily surprised to see that everything went just fine. Marie sent me some news and pictures everyday, and in a matter of a couple days, my cat was perfectly fine with Marie at her place. Marie has been really caring and careful with my cat's needs and security, never leaving an window open or unattended, always checking if she ate, drank and went to the litterbox, playing with her. I highly recommand Marie as a petsitter !”
