“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.”

23. Hannah M.
About: I’ve looked after dogs since being 12 years old! I love long walks and playing with dogs to keep them occupied. My family dog (border collie) was a big part of my life! Since moving into my own home, I am unable to commit to a pet full time due to working Monday - Friday. However, I would absolutely love to care for dogs for people during weekends or during my holidays as I am a primary school teacher. I am able to provide pet care on weekends and school holidays due to my job. I am always walking and we have the countryside right on our (me & my partner) door step. I have a secure backyard for dogs to go to the toilet and play outdoors. Pets that will be at our home are allowed to access furniture such as sofas but not beds. Blankets can be provided also.

“Hugo had a fabulous time at Elaine's - plenty of updates which helped me to relax on holiday! He loved his stay so much he didn't want to come back home to me lol Thank you so much Robert & Hugo”


25. Sandra F.
“Sandra (Sandy) is a caring and compassionate individual who loves animals. Sandy has two dogs of her own and frequently looks after other animals for friends and family, she has also done volunteer work with Street Hearts (a dog shelter in Bulgaria). Sandy would be a great dog walker. Her love for nature and animals, combined with her dedication and reliability, would make her an excellent fit for anyone looking for a compassionate and thorough pet caregiver.”


26. Karen K.

“Karen is very caring with dogs and Denzel is absolutely amazing dog x both my dogs Leona and Ragnar enjoying stay with Karen . They never miss walks and chasing ball at the park. 🐶🐾🐾”


27. Michelle C.

“Faultless service... Our Freddie was very well cared for & looked after. We recieved regular updates & pictures of his adventures. Michelle was very flexible & we would highly recommend her.”


28. Olivia C.

“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.”


29. Laura M.

“Laura look after our border collie whilst we went to a wedding. Ollie had the best time and was very happy when we picked him up. Laura sent us some lovely pictures of our fur baby whilst he was with her. Would fully recommend Laura for dog sitting.”


30. Melissa C.

“Fabulous pet sitter! My dog Winny was with her for 2 weeks and we got updates almost every day. My dog came back happy and healthy. Me and my husband were nervous for leaving Winny for so long but after this boarding we would happily go on holiday again for longer and have the peace of mind that she would be well taken care of. Will definitely be booking Melissa again next time”

About: I will look forward to looking after your pet and wouldn’t want you to worry while you are away. I will send you lots of photos and videos as I know I would love to receive them myself. As well as having experience with lots of pets my dog has had two litters of puppies which I looked after from birth 7 puppies both times. I loved this experience and Perdy was the best mummy I litter trained them all so they did wee wees out side by the time they left us at 10 weeks. I can also look after your fish, Guinea pigs and rabbits I would also like to have a meet up first to make sure your dog likes us and we feel comfortable looking after them. Preferably at my house if it’s boarding or yours if it’s dropping in or dog walking 😊 I work three afternoons 2 hours each day so I have lots of time for walks and play My daughter lives near by with her cockapoo. We see her most days for walks. Dog I regularly look after are cockapoos. Shitzu, sausage dogs and spaniels. I have housecsat in peoples homes visiting up to 4 times a day I have a secured garden for your dog to play in with my dog Lots of walks nearby where they can go off lead if this is ok with you I can crate at night or not which ever is your preference


34. Cherry S.
About: I’ve taken care of my own dogs. I’ve walked family and friends dogs and also dog sat when they’ve gone away on holiday. I love all kinds of animals and love to go for long walks. I’m on a mission to get lots of experience and hopefully be the best dog walker for you! I’m currently working full-time, 40 hours, and have a Wednesday off. I would be available Wednesday and weekends, as well as some evenings after work. I travel to provide my services and would be happy to stay at your home. I travel to open spaces for your dog to explore and would keep in contact with you throughout the day; this would include message updates, pictures and possibly a phone call. I am also doing a first aid course for dogs!


35. Bettyna M.
“Bettina took care of our amazing Loki who is a Maine coon. He was with her for 7 days so we could enjoy our time off. She was sending for us daily updates and pictures of her wellbeing. We were worry at the beginning but she responded fast to our messages reassuring Loki is in good and loving care. Her professional care for our family member allowed us to enjoy our well earned holidays without any worry. I definitely recommend her and I will ask for her pet sitting services again in the future.”


36. Roseane M.

“Lily settled well with Roseane and it was great comfort to know she was being well cared for in our absence. We are happy enough to have rebooked Roseanne’s boarding services for a more prolonged period.”


37. Gemma W.

“Thank you so much for looking after our little lilo, it was her first time ever staying over night with someone else.

“A loving person and a true dog person! Takes the time to keep her dog happy and engaged teaching her new tricks and playing new games!”


39. Lauren B.

“We highly recommend Lauren! Our boys clearly had a wonderful time on the farm and were so well cared for. It’s obvious that Lauren genuinely loves animals, and she treated them as if they were her own. Communication was excellent throughout, with regular updates, photos, and videos of their adventures, which was so reassuring while we were away. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again!”


40. Niamh J.
“My daughter Niamh and her boyfriend Ryan have looked after our dog whilst we have been away on numerous occasions. They are very kind and considerate looking after our very precious pet. They also have a dog of their own which is a credit to them in the way they look after and treasure their pet. I would not hesitate in recommending them to look after other peoples pets.”
