“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 💤”
“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.”
“Constancia and her son were absolutely amazing looking after Harry! Lots of cute vids & pics. He was so happy and relaxed when we picked him up , it was clear he was very well cared for and made to feel at home. Thank you both so much , we’ll definitely be back! 🐾✨”
“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!”
“Our dog Leo absolutely loved staying with Lucia and her family, we loved receiving updates how he is getting on. We definitely will book with her again and we know Leo will be so happy to see Lucia and her lovely family again.”
“Hollie looked after Otter for 11 days whilst we were away getting married. I was so relaxed knowing Otter was with Hollie. He came home exhausted from all the fun he’d had on his own little holiday 🥰”
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!
“Jessica is great with Oreo, he's a very nervous little dog but he seems to settle here. Its quite a calm environment and he is given lots of love care and the space he needs to relax and feel safe. Jessica sends regularly updates throughout the stay which helps us relax. He's a regularly here now!”
“Luke was great, he was enthusiastic and friendly and clearly gave them both lots of fuss and attention which they love. He was happy to stick with their usual routines and their little quirks were no problem which was very reassuring as an overprotective dog owner :)”
“Amazing family! They looked after our dog so well and loved him as if he were their own. A home from home that we were so grateful for while we were away. Thank you so much Karina and all your lovely family. X”
“Highly highly recommend leaving your pets with Kira! Our 7-month puppy had the best time at hers, was well looked after in a heatwave, was safe uand happy. She has a wonderful dog proof home and a supportive partner - it was a perfect environment and company for our puppy. We received frequent updates and photos. Their communication was great and flexible.”
“Rob took great care of Binky and she had a really happy stay. She had good exercise (needed for her energy levels!) and he was really attentive with her diet and preferences etc. giving her a real home from home experience. Rob was also really communicative and sent us photos and messages throughout her stay. We would certainly recommend Rob as a sitter and we hope to use him again in future to look after our much loved little girl.”
About: I have always loved dogs and have had dogs all my life, however our beloved Westie recently passed away at the age of 14. I have often looked after neighbours dogs when away for weekends/holidays. I currently work full time with the option to work from home and love walking in the evening after work and weekends. I would love to have a dog to take with me. I have just relocated to the area and live in a house with a large enough garden for dogs to roam and play freely but also stay visible.
“This was my first experience of Rover, so I wasn't sure what to expect. Finding Faye through the platform has been transformational to how I'll manage dog care for my precious pup, though! Faye is a fantastic, warm and engaging person who dispelled any reservations about leaving my dog with a stranger in an instant! Her love of dogs was palpable from the outset and she made Poppy feel completely at home! I looked forward to the regular updates on the adventures they had been on and the games she'd been entertaining Poppy with, and loved seeing the bond she'd formed with my little dog! I have absolutely no reservations in recommending Faye - she's been an incredible find and she'll definitely be my first choice for dog care in future! 😊”
“Kelly was amazing with Sophie! She made sure Sophie was happy and comfortable the whole time. I could tell Sophie was well-loved and in great hands and really treated Sophie like her own. Highly recommend Kelly — we’ll definitely be booking again!”
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.

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!!!”
“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.”
“Matthew was amazing with our cats while we were away. We received daily photos and small messages just enough to give peace of mind knowing how shy and scared our cats can be. We will definetely ask for his help again!”
“Jan is a lovely lady who clearly loves cats. She was not at all fazed by having to give one of my cats her daily medication. She provided regular updates and photos. Great service. I definitely recommend her.”
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”
“Very happy cats again this year with Sophie returning to look after them during our 2 week holiday. The friendly 2 enjoyed cuddles and even the grumpy cat thawed! Would have no hesitation in booking Sophie again, having peace of mind and the knowledge that we will come back to 3 happy and contented cats who don’t seem to have missed us at all! ”
About: Pets have been in my family my whole life. This included Cats and Dogs, and my first pocket money was made walking my neighbours dogs as well as my own. I look after my family’s cat regularly as well as my partners cockapoo who loves performing tricks for treats! I welcome animals of all shapes and sizes. My partner and I work full-time but have the opportunity to look after animals due to our hybrid work set up. Meaning we are at home for 2 days during the week as well as weekends. We will have plenty of time to give your pets the attention it deserves. We are in a pet friendly apartment complex with secure balconies and a communal garden. There are countless parks, nature reserves and the natural beauty of the Surrey hills nearby. We also both drive and are well equipped with dog harnesses for safety.
“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.”
“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. ”
“First time having Freya to look after our fluffy boy and she was great - a meeting beforehand to meet him and go through the details, regular updates while we were away, left everywhere clean and tidy and we came home to a happy cat. Wouldn't hesitate to rebook or recommend Freya. ”

“I felt totally confident leaving my puppy with Hollie she was welcoming and caring. On picking up my puppy it was clear she had an great day playing with Hollie’s dog and she was settled and bright when I got her home. She was never upset being dropped off and seemed very happy to be with Hollie. I would totally recommend her and would take either of my dogs back if needed. Thank you Hollie and Oscar.”
“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.”
“Amanda was absolutely fantastic looking after Max. We are very grateful for the care and attention she gave him. She was kind, accommodating, and clearly cared about making sure he was comfortable and happy. It was reassuring to know he was in such good hands, and it was obvious from the moment we picked him up that Max had enjoyed his time with her. We would happily recommend Amanda and would not hesitate to use her services again. Thank you for taking such great care of our boy! 🐾😊”
“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”

“We cannot recommend Vivianne highly enough. We dropped off Granville our border terrier for the day for the first time and we were a bit worried - how would he settle, would he be OK with a new person in new surroundings?. We shouldn't have worried. Vivianne kept us updated with photos and messages throughout the day. When we collected him, we had comprehensive feedback and Granville was happy and settled and seemed to have had a great day, meeting a new friends and getting lots of attention. We were delighted with his excellent care and will be back!! Its great that we can be confident that he is looked after so well.”
“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.”
“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!!”
“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.”
“We were so impressed with the care and love Emily gave to our Lhasa Apso Bobby ( Bob the Dog). It is the first time we have left him outside family and we were nwrvous. But Emily clearly had the knack of making him completely at home and Bob made friends with her dog Lando. She texted us after an hour to reassure us all was good and the photos were lovely of his stay. We would absolutely recommend Emily to other owners.”
“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 :)”
“Highly recommend. 5 stars ***** Joanne is a lovely, kind and caring person. Our dog Bella can be nervous around new people and Joanne manage get Bella settled and playing ball within 5 minutes of our arrival. Joanne is a natural with dogs and we felt very comfortable leaving Bella in her care. Joanne gave us peace of mind by adapting to Bella’s needs and we felt reassured to leave Bella in such capable and caring hands. We would definitely use Joanne again and we highly recommend.”
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.
“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: 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.

About: I have always loved looking after animals and have done so since I was a child.

“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:)”
“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”

“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 🥰”
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: Hi, I’m Emily, and dogs are a huge part of my life. I’m the proud owner of Lando, our energetic cocker spaniel, who has taught me so much about training, enrichment, routine, and understanding canine behaviour. Like many spaniels, he keeps me on my toes, so I know just how important patience, consistency and plenty of exercise are! Growing up around dogs of all breeds and personalities has also given me a real appreciation that every dog is unique and deserves care that’s tailored to them. Whether your dog is staying with us, joining us for a walk, or simply needs a friendly visit while you’re away, my priority is making them feel safe, happy and loved. I care for every dog as if they were my own, taking the time to understand their routine, personality and individual needs. I offer: • Safe, home-from-home boarding • Fun, enriching dog walks • Day care with plenty of companionship and play • Pop-in visits for feeding, toilet breaks and cuddles Finding someone you trust with your dog is a big decision, and I know exactly how that feels as a dog owner myself. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your dog and provide the same level of care, attention and affection that Lando enjoys every day. If you have any questions, just send me a message—I can’t wait to meet you and your furry friend! As a full-time remote worker, I have the flexibility to be present for your pet throughout the day. Working from home allows me to provide regular companionship, quick toilet breaks, and plenty of attention while ensuring that pets in my care feel comfortable and attended to. My schedule allows me to easily incorporate walks, playtime, and check-ins, so your pet will never feel alone or bored. Whether it’s day care, boarding, or scheduled walks, I’m able to provide a stable, caring environment that fits seamlessly into my work-from-home routine. In my home, I strive to create a safe, comfortable, and fun environment for all pets. For boarding and day care, pets can have designated spaces to relax, play, and feel at ease. I make sure to keep a balanced routine of playtime, training, and rest, similar to the structure I use with my own dog, Lando. With flexible breaks throughout the day, I’m able to provide walks, potty breaks, and plenty of attention, making sure pets stay happy and engaged.
“Maria took excellent care of our Max. She was punctual, friendly, and very pleasant to deal with throughout. Max was happy and well looked after, and we were very pleased with the service provided. We would happily recommend Maria and would not hesitate to use her services again. PS: she kindly agreed to help us literally last minute arrangement. Contacted her in the morning for afternoon care, thank you”
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!
“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 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: Me and my partner Edward are long-term dog lovers with experience looking after dogs. We have a little cockapoo called Dotty who is rather timid but loves company of other dogs. We have experience teaching tricks, are avid dog cuddlers and love a nice walk. We have recent experience with puppies and are very patient. Edward is fully remote so always available to help and I work around client requirement wherever possible to be as available as you need. We love centrally and are flexible in terms of other commitments. We can assist with daytime dog care and offer overnight dog sitting in our home, with the requirement of us meeting before to ensure your dog and you feel as comfortable as required. Typically with longer-term overnight stays we require a trial night to ensure your pouch feels happy to be with us before staying for a long time. We offer lots of love and kindness to dogs and would be so excited to help with yours!
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 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.
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.
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: Pets have been in my family my whole life. This included Cats and Dogs, and my first pocket money was made walking my neighbours dogs as well as my own. I look after my family’s cat regularly as well as my partners cockapoo who loves performing tricks for treats! I welcome animals of all shapes and sizes. My partner and I work full-time but have the opportunity to look after animals due to our hybrid work set up. Meaning we are at home for 2 days during the week as well as weekends. We will have plenty of time to give your pets the attention it deserves. We are in a pet friendly apartment complex with secure balconies and a communal garden. There are countless parks, nature reserves and the natural beauty of the Surrey hills nearby. We also both drive and are well equipped with dog harnesses for safety.

“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.”
“Constancia and her son were absolutely amazing looking after Harry! Lots of cute vids & pics. He was so happy and relaxed when we picked him up , it was clear he was very well cared for and made to feel at home. Thank you both so much , we’ll definitely be back! 🐾✨”
“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!”
“Hollie looked after Otter for 11 days whilst we were away getting married. I was so relaxed knowing Otter was with Hollie. He came home exhausted from all the fun he’d had on his own little holiday 🥰”
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!
“Luke was great, he was enthusiastic and friendly and clearly gave them both lots of fuss and attention which they love. He was happy to stick with their usual routines and their little quirks were no problem which was very reassuring as an overprotective dog owner :)”
“Amazing family! They looked after our dog so well and loved him as if he were their own. A home from home that we were so grateful for while we were away. Thank you so much Karina and all your lovely family. X”
“Highly highly recommend leaving your pets with Kira! Our 7-month puppy had the best time at hers, was well looked after in a heatwave, was safe uand happy. She has a wonderful dog proof home and a supportive partner - it was a perfect environment and company for our puppy. We received frequent updates and photos. Their communication was great and flexible.”
“Rob took great care of Binky and she had a really happy stay. She had good exercise (needed for her energy levels!) and he was really attentive with her diet and preferences etc. giving her a real home from home experience. Rob was also really communicative and sent us photos and messages throughout her stay. We would certainly recommend Rob as a sitter and we hope to use him again in future to look after our much loved little girl.”
“Alfie had the best time with Hannah, I received pictures whilst he was with her and he came back happy! It is clear Hannah has great knowledge with dogs the initial set up was easy and Hannah was very considerate of Alfie’s needs! Will 100% use Hannah again!”
“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 🙏”
“This was Maple's first time staying with Sally and her family, and we can definitely recommend. Maple can be nervous of new people, but Sally was really gentle and welcoming with her (as well as being flexible for a meet and greet beforehand). And, as a bonus we got some nice updates with photos throughout!”
“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!”
“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.”
