“This was the first time we used Jessica, and we were not disappointed. From the messages before the visit to the care and photo updates while we were away, everything was excellent. Boris, being a bulldog, has specific food requirements and a set routine, which Jessica and her family adapted to perfectly. We felt completely reassured knowing he was in such good hands. We will definitely be using Jessica again in the future. Boris does not like the car and we always have trouble on collection but Jessica’s husband helped get Boris in the car with care, he is now snuggled up having had his favourite dinner , doing his favourite hobby of snoozing 💤”
“Bella had an amazing time with Jessica, I could tell how happy she had been there when I went to collect her as Bella kept going back for cuddles 🤍 I got regular updates to let me know how Bella was doing, and I defiantly will be using Jessica again in the future, highly recommended dog sitter, thank you again x”
“Amanda has been amazing. I was nervous about leaving my two Labradors as I have never used home board before, Amanda made it straightforward and put my mind at rest with lots of videos and photos. Her husband and children were equally great with the dogs. I will definitely use Amanda again.”
“Our usual dog sitter moved recently and we were pretty hard-pressed looking for someone close by. We then came across Constancia and her son Ivan. I am so happy that we chose them. Bella has been looked after and pampered. I couldn't have asked for anything more. She is happy and content. Constancia kept us up to date with pictures and video's of her time. I would highly recommend them and use them again. Thank you.”
“Amazing care. Winnie, our little pup, had a fab time with Sarah, the girls and her dog. We had regular updates and photos and overall we are extremely happy. We have booked Sarah for another few times when we are away as we were delighted.”
“Lucia took great care of Scout, she kept me updated and sent pictures the whole weekend which was much appreciated and put me at ease. Would definitely use Lucia again, she seems very knowledgeable and unfazed by rescue dogs”
“My GSP had a great stay with Daisy and was well looked after which was evident from the photo updates of her running around on walks and relaxing and settled in at home too. Would recommend”
“Just amazing to have my best bud in such a great and friendly home while I’m gone. So happy to have found Vivianne and hope she can watch my pup every time I have to travel!”
“We cannot thank Hollie and Ed enough for taking such amazing care of our very nervous dog Chai. The previous sitter we booked cancelled on us last min. They are very trustworthy and reliable. We were very unsure to leave Chai for first time but they made it so easy provided regular updates and photos. Their dog Oscar and Chai got on well. We definitely recommend them for anyone looking for a good company for their dog. Thank you Hollie, Ed and Oscar.”
About: I’ve always had a deep love for dogs. Back in Portugal, I have two dogs who are part of my family, and unfortunately I wasn’t able to bring them with me to the UK. I truly miss them every day, which is why caring for other dogs means so much to me. I treat every pet as if they were my own — with patience, affection and attention. I have experience with dogs of different sizes and temperaments, and I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime and general care. For me, this is not just a job — it’s a way to stay connected to something I genuinely love while giving your pet the care and companionship they deserve. I’m currently at home full-time, which allows me to give your dog constant care, attention and companionship throughout the day. I’m available for boarding during weekdays and weekends, with a flexible schedule to adapt to your pet’s routine. Your dog will never be left alone for long periods and will always have someone around to care for them. I provide a safe, calm and loving environment for every dog in my care. I have a secure fenced garden where they can play freely, and I treat every pet as if they were part of my own family. Back home, I have two dogs who I love deeply, and since moving here I truly miss having them around — which is why caring for other dogs means so much to me. Your pet will receive attention, affection and proper care at all times. I can also follow any specific routines, feeding schedules or crate training if needed.
“I chose Joanne as she has experience with senior dogs and Poppy is an anxious 16 year old. I met her beforehand with Poppy and felt happy and comfortable she would take good care of her. She takes a relaxed and flexible approach and communication was good. I would recommend Joanne.”
“We would highly recommend Charlotte if you’re looking for a sitter, she was absolutely great from organising a meet and greet and providing regular updates while we were away. Olive had a lovely time and didn’t want to leave when we came to pick her up!”
“Thank you for looking after Dora, especially taking her to the dog park as part of her stay. I know she can be a pain sneaking into bed and wanting to cuddle on the sofa but hopefully she has been good enough to be allowed back”
“Luke was amazing at looking after Bean when we were let down last minute by another sitter. He kept us constantly updated throughout our time away with lots of videos so we never had to worry about him! Followed all of our instructions for Bean (which were quite a lot!😅) Bean had a great time with Luke and will deffo be returning! Honestly can’t recommend Luke enough!”
About: I’ve owned dogs since I was 11 & have owned my own lovely, little dog (Arthur) for 6 years. Arthur loves new friends & loves hosting other dogs for him to play with so I thought it would be great to up my home to boarding. Our home is clean, safe and warm with a small enclosed courtyard garden & enclosed communal space with lots of areas nearby to walk your pup! Arthur is very friendly & loves to play and share his toys with his new friends and would welcome new small dog friends into my home. He likes dogs of all ages & sizes but prefers smaller to medium sized friends. My apartment is a decent space but probably wouldn’t be suitable for large dog breeds. I look forward to hosting your doggo! I currently work part time but I am available most weekends and changeable weekdays for boarding. I wake early & walk my dog, we play during the day and take another walk in the evening. I have plenty of free time at home in the day for wee breaks & I am generally at home all day. I have a fenced garden, hedged communal space and large sub level apartment with a lovely little poochon called Arthur. Arthur loves new friends & would be delighted to host more friends here for him to play with. I am at home most of the time so available to give your dog lots of attention, walks and love. I would treat your dog like I treat Arthur (like a prince!)

“Hollie was professional and friendly, obviously very experienced with dogs, and trustworthy. Took the booking at short notice, and she sent lots of updates and followed the care instructions, felt very happy and relaxed knowing she was dropping in through out the day...highly recommend.”
About: Since the moment I was born I have always had cats, I have never lived without at least one. Growing up around cats has made me understand them extremely well, their behaviours, wants and needs and funny little personalities. I am also a Registered Veterinary Nurse (RVN) who has years of veterinary experience. With this, I have lots of experience administering medications, brushing/clipping out matts, keeping litter clean, and much more. I am very excited to get to know ur kitty!
“Kia was amazing with our very fussy cat. It was such a relief to know he was well cared for and content while we were away. Kia was also very communicative, flexible and was very respectful of our home. I would highly recommend Kia!!!”
About: We're Andy & Becky, cat lovers without our own cat, and we're excited to help look after other people's cats. Andy grew up with cats and has also cat sat for friends and family, including feeding, litter tray cleaning and obviously lots of cuddles.
“Fantastic, absolute lifesaver helped me out at very short notice. Hounds loved her and I ever got a cute video which was massively reassuring having never left them with anyone but granddad before”
“Steve and Sandra were really great and our 6 year old springer Jimmy took an instant shine to them. It was great that he could also socialise with another dog, Tommy, on the walk. This service was invaluable as I needed to go to London with work at short notice and it was great peace of mind to know that Jimmy was well looked after.”
“Sophie is great! Comminication before and during the booking was brill, our cat Rolo was very happy with her and Sophie was super flexible when we had a last minute family emergency that required chopping and changing the dates we originally booked her for! ”
“Holly did a fantastic job looking after my indoor kittens for a week, they were well cared for and she even dealt with an unwanted intruder. Very thoughtful and conscientious will definitely utilise her services again.”
“Emma was quick to respond and managed to make a booking with little notice. Extremely polite to meet when Emma popped round to meet my cat and collected the key, would absolutely recommend booking with Emma.”
“Rosie was fantastic with my tortoise Edith, always sent me photo updates and little messages letting me know how she was getting on for each visit. Over all very reliable and had great communication which really put me at ease, will definitely be booking with Rosie again in the future!”
“Eleanor looked after my two cats for the first time this week and they liked her immediately. She looked after them really well, spent time with them and kept me regularly updated with info and photos / videos. ”
About: I grew up with two cats, so I’m very comfortable around different personalities and daily care routines. I also volunteered at Soi Dog Foundation, where I spent time with over 400 rescued cats, helping to socialise them through play, affection, and gentle interaction to make them feel safe and loved.
“Freya visited our cats first the first time at the weekend. She managed to make friends with our nervous girl and did everything we asked to ensure the cats remained happy while we were away. We’ll be booking again!”

“Eleanor and Edward are the best possible people to care for your dog. Stanley 100% loves them and dotty more than us now, and always comes back to happy and tired. I couldn’t recommend anyone more.”
“Frankie absolutely loved her time with Hollie and her new fur friend Oscar. Hollie is great at communicating and super flexible which I am very grateful for. We look forward to our future visits - thank you!”
“Luna stayed with Amanda & her family while my partner was in the hospital for a day. We got lots of great photos and videos of Luna enjoying herself, including doing her favourite activity, lying on the sofa. Luna had such a good time, she didn't want to leave. We will be booking longer stays with Amanda after the success of this visit.”
“Our 3.5 month pup had a lovely day with Jessica and her husband. We plan for him to stay while we go on holiday and wanted to give him chance to get to know them first. We were anxious as we had not left him with anyone else, but we didn’t need to worry as he settled straight away- and had lots of fun. Jessica is quick to respond to messages and sent photos of his day. Thank you”
“My little dog Mila absolutely loved Laura. In fact every time we walk past the end of her street now my dog pulls me to go & see her. Laura has a warm & kind soul which is perfect for pet sitting our beloved animals. I will definitely be using her services again!!”
“We are so thankful for Vivianne for looking after our puppy while we attended an event. We felt instant trust for Vivianne. She took great care of our little one and we wouldn't hesitate to use her again.”
About: I’ve honestly had dogs around me for as long as I can remember. Over the years, I’ve owned and cared for everything from tiny pups to large mixed breeds, so I’m completely used to all kinds of dog personalities, sizes, and energy levels. Right now, I have my own 9 year old dog, Simba, so I really understand the day-to-day of caring for a pet, from keeping up with their favorite walk routines to just knowing when they need some quiet downtime. I know how important it is to feel like your dog is safe and happy when you're away, and I promise your pup will be treated like absolute family here! I am at home full-time, which means your dog will rarely, if ever, be left alone and will receive constant care and attention throughout the day. My schedule is incredibly flexible, allowing me to easily maintain your pup's exact feeding times, frequent potty breaks, and specific walk routines. Whether they need active daytime companionship or just a quiet presence to keep them company while they snooze, I am here all day to make sure they feel completely secure and looked after. We have a really warm, dog-loving home where your dog will be treated like one of our own. Our house is a lively, happy family space with myself, my husband (working full-time), and our two university aged kids who are currently back home and absolutely adore dogs. We also have a 4-year-old daughter who is wonderful and very gentle around pets (though she'll be at school for most of the summer). Outside, we have a fully fenced garden with a great grass section, so there's plenty of space for safe sniffing and stretching. Between all of us and our friendly dog Simba, your pup will get non-stop affection, company, and a safe family environment to settle right into!
“We were on holiday in the area and needed to go somewhere dogs couldn't go, so contacted Ben. He was lovely and took good care of Casper for day care. Thank you Ben, I'm sure we'll be back. 😊”
About: I grew up with dogs and absolutely love having them around. I work from home, so I have plenty of time for lunchtime walks, playtime, and giving your dog lots of attention. I’m also very happy to have a snuggle on the sofa in the evenings. I work from home three days a week, which means I have plenty of time and flexibility to give dogs real attention throughout the day. I also have the option to bring a dog into the office, so they’re never left alone for long periods. I love being active and would always make sure they get a morning and lunchtime walk so lots of company. I have a fenced garden in a three bed new build property and I live close to fields and nice walks, which I love to go on.
“Thank you Steve . You are amazing . Steve and Sandra took care of our high energy puppy for dog day care. Steve’s outlook is super positive, especially when our pup chose to discover anything and everything in his house . His communications and updates were excellent and I would not hesitate to recommend.”
“Our Apollo has a great time with Constancia and her family. When dropping him off, he jumps out of the car straight to the door and once it’s opened, he’s off which is very reassuring.”
About: I have always loved looking after animals and have done so since I was a child. I have had two big dogs a German shepherd & a golden retriever who I trained from puppies and now have a Cockerpoo who’s also been a part of my family since he was a puppy. We have a busy home with three children but we have so much love to give as we all love animals. We are very active and the children and I are at home during the day (unless we are on a dog walk!) so are always around for company, cuddles and to play! I am available throughout the day all week to meet your pets needs. I work part time from home so my schedule is very flexible. I have a large fenced garden and live close to lots of open outdoor spaces for great walks and lots of outside play. I live with my husband and 3 children who all love animals and we have a 4 year old Cockerpoo.
About: Me and my partner regularly care for dogs for friends, family and family friends. Experienced with different breeds, routines, feeding, walks and giving them a safe, loving home. I work Monday to Friday 7:30am–4:30pm, but my partner works from home so your dog will have company, care, and attention throughout the day. We have a secure, fenced, good-sized garden for safe outdoor time and play. Your dog will be supervised, well cared for, and treated like part of our family.
“After having an awful experience with Trusted Housesitters, I was anxious about leaving my dog with anyone else, even for a day. Meeting with Ilona in advance of the daysit helped me to feel more comfortable and the day itself went really well. She sent loads of pictures and took him on some great walks, and he was knackered at the end of the day. We hope to have Ilona watch Bryn in the future :)”
About: I’ve been a professional dog walker, have owned, cared for and trained rescue dogs my whole life and volunteered at Dogs Trust for a number of years. I’m currently working full time through weekdays but have weekends and weeknights free to care for your pups! My partner Josh works from home during the day and is happy to be on hand to assist with any feeding and walks (which he is very used to as he grew up helping his mum who was a dog sitter.) Although I live in a flat, the space is very secure and the dog would have free rein of the flat should they need boarding. I also live next to plenty of great walks and areas for dogs to exercise in and I’d be happy to take them on the walks that suit them best. I have a full clean drivers license and would be happy to take dogs out to more adventurous spots should they enjoy them.
“Absolutely incredible experience. Hannah took great care of Ewok, and kept us in the loop throughout the day while she got much-needed socialization time with the other dogs. Could not have asked for a better sitter - highly recommended.”
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, and caring for pets is something I truly love. For the past 3 years, I’ve helped families by caring for their dogs and cats with patience, attention, and lots of affection. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and needs to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’m responsible, gentle, and attentive to details like feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication, and giving regular updates with photos and messages. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, young, or senior, I will treat them like family and make sure they receive the care, love, and attention they deserve. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I truly enjoy spending time with animals. I’m flexible, attentive, and make sure every pet gets love, playtime, walks, and personalized care every day. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my priorities. I create a calm, loving, and clean environment where pets feel comfortable, secure, and treated like part of the family at all times.

“Laura was amazing with Bella and with us, very accommodating and gave us updates and pictures every day. She came to meet bella prior to us going away to make us feel better and Bella seemed to love her. Made us feel a lot more relaxed about going away without her and we will be coming to Laura in the future when we next need a dog walker. Would definitely recommend to a friend:)”

“Courtney helped us out massively when we had a super quick turn around organising a wedding at Harrogate registry office. We needed someone to walk our two little pooches during the ceremony so all our loved ones could attend and she was there as soon as we arrived, and kept them for a little longer as the ceremony ran over. Marlow and Reggie returned super happy! The wedding was so special and we are so grateful to Courtney for helping us out 🥰”
“Annie (my 8 year old cockerpoo) had a lovely time with Heather. I can highly recommend her, Heather is absolutely lovely. We met Heather in Harrogate, she took Annie for walks & cuddles whilst we had a family lunch.”

“Hollie is wonderful with my pups , they love her and I do too. I would highly recommend her, she has done day care and walking for me and is always great with the dogs, always on time- Hollie always delivers. Thank you x”
About: I adore dogs! I have helped run a dog kennels for over 3 years before I went travelling. I have also worked at a dog and cat animal charity for 1.5 years in Edinburgh, where I'm from. When I was travelling in Australia I also done dog walking as I needed my doggy fix down under as well. I had a family dog who was my absolute soul dog and best friend. I would care for your dog like it was my own furry pal. I currently work in the nhs supporting children with mental health issues. This is a challenging but very rewarding career. I do miss having furry, four legged friends in my life though. My schedule changes each week and I can be working different days each week but my work can be flexible if I'm given enough notice as to what days you need pet cover. We have a fenced garden at the back of the property. We are hoping to get a dog this year which would offer company to your dog, if that's what they like. We will be patient with your dog and keep it's routine as close to being at home as we can.
“Lucy was excellent. We were up in Pateley Bridge for a wedding and nervous leaving Jeff alone. She filled us with confidence that he was in safe hands. She kept us updated with photos and texts on how he was. Thank you Lucy ☺️”
About: I have grown up with cats and have spent a lot of time walking dogs in my local area through Borrow my Doggy. I adore animals and will give your pets all the attention they need (or lack of attention if your pet is more of a recluse). I have had two family cats for 15+ years and lots of experience with animal care, and I am gentle and calm with animals and understand when they need space as well as cuddles. I have a flexible work schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet sitting whether during the working week or at weekends. Get in touch! :) Having grown up with cats since age 10 I am very much a safe pair of hands and understand how to cater to a cat's care needs. I love to stroke and cuddle cats but also understand when a cat would rather be left alone or needs a safe space to itself. I am used to senior cats as my own boy is currently 17 years old!
About: I have been around working dogs since I was a child. When I was younger I had the ambition of being a veterinary surgeon and so had to gain animal experience to apply for the course. This included farm work, doing multiple weeks at 2 vet's practices and over a year and a half dog walking for the RSPCA. Since moving to Harrogate many years ago, I have walked and looked after 30 + dogs in the area; including house-sitting and drop-in visits. My job requires me to have a current DBS check in place. I am confident with big dogs as well as small ones and would happily meet beforehand to hopefully put your mind at ease. I am free on weekends all day, although do visit family etc on these days but not on a regular basis. I mostly work from home (usual office hours). I can walk the dog before and after work, combined with play and scent work during the day. Usually, if I were lucky enough to look after your dog, this would involve lots of outdoor exercise (providing the dog is able to). I live very close to the Stray in Harrogate, so if needed it would not be far to quickly bring him or her home briefly for a drink or rest. However, I do drive so would be comfortable walking / looking after wherever your home is. Rover now encourages you now to message more than one person, this is a new feature and it isn't necessary, as I do reply quickly. I take great pride in my reviews and the service I offer. I have so much dog-handling experience and lots of common sense!
About: I’ve always been a huge animal lover and genuinely love spending time with dogs of all personalities. I volunteered for 2 months with Soi Dog Foundation, where I spent my days walking, caring for, and giving attention to lots of different dogs, including some nervous kennel dogs who needed extra patience and love. In my free time, I also look after my auntie’s cheeky Border Terrier, so I’m very used to energetic walks, playtime, cuddles, and making sure pets feel happy, safe, and spoiled while their owners are away 🐾💕 I choose my own shifts, so I’m usually available with just a few days’ notice! I also only work 3 days a week, which means I’ll have plenty of time during the day for walks, playtime, cuddles, and giving your cute little ones all the attention they deserve 🫶🐾 For your pet’s comfort and safety, I currently offer walks and house visits in your home rather than boarding. I’ll make sure your pets feel happy, cared for, and comfortable in their familiar environment 🫶
About: I have grown up around dogs since the age of 10. With 2 family cocker spaniels I am used to the craziness that having a dog brings to a household. I no longer live with my family dogs and miss being around them. I have experience with elderly dogs, one of my family dogs died this year at the age of 14 and she needed full time cars for months. We had a litter of puppies when I was younger, so I am experienced with younger dogs as well. I graduated from university 2 years ago and now work from home almost full time (I tend to go into the office once a week, but this is flexible). I would care for your dogs in the same manner you would. Whatever they need I am able to provide. I understand all dogs are different. I love long walks and they can accompany me daily.
About: I’ve owned dogs since I was 11 & have owned my own lovely, little dog (Arthur) for 6 years. Arthur loves new friends & loves hosting other dogs for him to play with so I thought it would be great to up my home to boarding. Our home is clean, safe and warm with a small enclosed courtyard garden & enclosed communal space with lots of areas nearby to walk your pup! Arthur is very friendly & loves to play and share his toys with his new friends and would welcome new small dog friends into my home. He likes dogs of all ages & sizes but prefers smaller to medium sized friends. My apartment is a decent space but probably wouldn’t be suitable for large dog breeds. I look forward to hosting your doggo! I currently work part time but I am available most weekends and changeable weekdays for boarding. I wake early & walk my dog, we play during the day and take another walk in the evening. I have plenty of free time at home in the day for wee breaks & I am generally at home all day. I have a fenced garden, hedged communal space and large sub level apartment with a lovely little poochon called Arthur. Arthur loves new friends & would be delighted to host more friends here for him to play with. I am at home most of the time so available to give your dog lots of attention, walks and love. I would treat your dog like I treat Arthur (like a prince!)
About: I've cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities since I was a child. Friends, neighbours and family have always relied on me to feed, walk and look after their pets when they’re away. I’m calm, patient and comfortable with everything from energetic puppies to older dogs who prefer slower, relaxed walks and plenty of company. I’m also an avid hiker and love exploring the beautiful area I’m lucky enough to live in. I enjoy getting outside and giving dogs the chance to properly stretch their legs, whether that’s a gentle local walk or a longer adventure for more energetic dogs. I always tailor walks to the individual dog’s needs, age and energy level so they get the right balance of exercise and care. I currently only have to work a few hours in the evenings, which means I’m available during the day and most weekends. I’m reliable, flexible and happy to stick to your dog’s usual routine so they feel comfortable while you’re away. I’m also happy to send updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. I pick and choose my hours as my job is essentially just talking on the phone, so it’s pretty easy to manage care. Playing games, long walks, cuddles on the sofa ect. The area is great for long and short walks and I usually plan a few longer ones a week ahead of time. I'm open to suggestions for interesting places. Owners instructions above all else. I’m able to care for pets in my home as I don't have to leave the house for work. There are so many nice areas nearby for walks which is a part of my routine regardless. I have a decent sized fenced back garden and a lot of room for the animal I'm caring for to play in.
“Tiggy and I really enjoyed meeting Halle for our first walk together. I'm very confident that the two of them are going to get along really well. My dog is fairly anxious but she was very relaxed with Halle, which is great sign, and I'm excited to get more walks booked in!”
About: Hello! I’m Rob, and together with my daughter Sienna, we provide a loving, safe, and active home-from-home environment for dogs. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and I’ve spent many years caring for one or more dogs at a time. Their happiness, wellbeing, and safety are always my top priorities. We are a very active family who love spending time outdoors, whether that’s enjoying walks around the local area, playing games, or simply giving dogs the attention and companionship they deserve. Sienna absolutely loves dogs and enjoys helping to make them feel welcome and comfortable. One of the biggest benefits of choosing us is that I work from home, meaning your dog will rarely be left alone. I can provide regular toilet breaks, daytime walks, playtime, and plenty of companionship throughout the day. This makes our home particularly suitable for dogs who enjoy company or may not be used to being left for long periods. Our home offers a safe, caring, and relaxed environment where your dog will be treated as part of the family. We understand that every dog is different and will always take the time to learn about their routine, personality, and needs to ensure they feel happy, secure, and loved while they’re with us. We look forward to welcoming your furry family member and giving them a fun, comfortable, and caring stay. There’s always someone at home, day and night — Rob works remotely full-time, and Katie works from home two days a week. Your dog will never be short of company, cuddles, or attention! We take our Cockapoo, Roxy, out for walks every morning and afternoon, and we’re more than happy to add a third walk into the routine for any extra-energetic pups. We have a fenced garden so it’s fully safe and enclosed. Roxy has a tracker on and we have a spare we could always add to collars whilst they stay with us.
About: I’ve participated in volunteered dog walking for the elderly and disabled for many years and have cared for dogs at home while family friends have been away, but most importantly I know what it’s like to care for my own pets as I’ve had two cats. My schedule is flexible as I work a part time job with varying hours. Very much depends as to what is happening week to week. I am in a very central location with good access to buses and trains. I only currently do sittings at pets’ location due to shared living with a cat.

“Amanda has been amazing. I was nervous about leaving my two Labradors as I have never used home board before, Amanda made it straightforward and put my mind at rest with lots of videos and photos. Her husband and children were equally great with the dogs. I will definitely use Amanda again.”
“Our usual dog sitter moved recently and we were pretty hard-pressed looking for someone close by. We then came across Constancia and her son Ivan. I am so happy that we chose them. Bella has been looked after and pampered. I couldn't have asked for anything more. She is happy and content. Constancia kept us up to date with pictures and video's of her time. I would highly recommend them and use them again. Thank you.”
“Amazing care. Winnie, our little pup, had a fab time with Sarah, the girls and her dog. We had regular updates and photos and overall we are extremely happy. We have booked Sarah for another few times when we are away as we were delighted.”
“My GSP had a great stay with Daisy and was well looked after which was evident from the photo updates of her running around on walks and relaxing and settled in at home too. Would recommend”
“Just amazing to have my best bud in such a great and friendly home while I’m gone. So happy to have found Vivianne and hope she can watch my pup every time I have to travel!”
“We cannot thank Hollie and Ed enough for taking such amazing care of our very nervous dog Chai. The previous sitter we booked cancelled on us last min. They are very trustworthy and reliable. We were very unsure to leave Chai for first time but they made it so easy provided regular updates and photos. Their dog Oscar and Chai got on well. We definitely recommend them for anyone looking for a good company for their dog. Thank you Hollie, Ed and Oscar.”
“We would highly recommend Charlotte if you’re looking for a sitter, she was absolutely great from organising a meet and greet and providing regular updates while we were away. Olive had a lovely time and didn’t want to leave when we came to pick her up!”
“Thank you for looking after Dora, especially taking her to the dog park as part of her stay. I know she can be a pain sneaking into bed and wanting to cuddle on the sofa but hopefully she has been good enough to be allowed back”
“Helen and Andy were absolutely amazing with our dog, Kobe! This was Kobe’s first time staying away from home, so we were a bit nervous— especially since he’s an energetic miniature cockapoo, but they made the entire experience really good and reassuring. From the start, it was clear they were both experienced with handling high-energy dogs. Kobe instantly took to them, which says a lot. They kept him active, engaged, and happy the whole time, and we could tell he was getting plenty of attention and care. We also really appreciated the regular updates—they gave us peace of mind knowing Kobe was doing great and having fun (especially playing with Bonnie!). We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Helen and Andy again! Thank you!”
About: I’ve honestly had dogs around me for as long as I can remember. Over the years, I’ve owned and cared for everything from tiny pups to large mixed breeds, so I’m completely used to all kinds of dog personalities, sizes, and energy levels. Right now, I have my own 9 year old dog, Simba, so I really understand the day-to-day of caring for a pet, from keeping up with their favorite walk routines to just knowing when they need some quiet downtime. I know how important it is to feel like your dog is safe and happy when you're away, and I promise your pup will be treated like absolute family here! I am at home full-time, which means your dog will rarely, if ever, be left alone and will receive constant care and attention throughout the day. My schedule is incredibly flexible, allowing me to easily maintain your pup's exact feeding times, frequent potty breaks, and specific walk routines. Whether they need active daytime companionship or just a quiet presence to keep them company while they snooze, I am here all day to make sure they feel completely secure and looked after. We have a really warm, dog-loving home where your dog will be treated like one of our own. Our house is a lively, happy family space with myself, my husband (working full-time), and our two university aged kids who are currently back home and absolutely adore dogs. We also have a 4-year-old daughter who is wonderful and very gentle around pets (though she'll be at school for most of the summer). Outside, we have a fully fenced garden with a great grass section, so there's plenty of space for safe sniffing and stretching. Between all of us and our friendly dog Simba, your pup will get non-stop affection, company, and a safe family environment to settle right into!

“Jess was so welcoming and kind, me n Bailey took an instant like to her. I was completely confident in her ability and passion for dogs and I was not disappointed. I came back to a happy, settled and totally comfortable dog. I’m trying to think when I can go out again just to book in!!! Highly recommend and would be my first choice sitter every time.”
“Can’t recommend Millie highly enough, Gilbert has absolutely loved his stay and can’t wait to meet up and chase Archie some more! Great updates and pictures, couldn’t ask for more.”
“Jamie is a lovely, professional guy who paid a lot of attention to Rocco before and during his stay while I was on the road with work. The comms were excellent, a lovely home, and good vibes. Thanks a million, Jamie 🙏”
“Stefanie and her family have cared for Ruby (Labrador) with much consideration to her needs as an older dog. Stefanie sent frequent updates and photos of Ruby and descriptions of their daily activities. Ruby sounds to have had a great stay with her and their own young dog , Gus. It is nice for the old and young dogs to be able to mix under knowledgeable and experienced dog lovers. I feel very confident in recommending Stefanie to others. I shall definitely be using her services again in the knowledge that Ruby was safe and happy with her and her family.”
