“Maisie has stayed with Paula and her family for four separate days over the last 10 days and they have taken such good care of her. I am really happy to have found them. It is a lovely warm, relaxed atmosphere in the house. Maisie loves going there and is always exhausted when I am picking her up after her busy day - Paula walks her in the Castle Park and she is kept entertained in the house with Paula and her family. Paula is also mindful of and helpful in working on Maisie’s puppy behaviors like chewing and picking up rubbish!!! It is great to have found such a nice family to look after Maisie and I hope that they will mind Maisie regularly🐾🐾🐾”

“My collie Truly had a fantastic week with Airis. I felt so confident knowing that Airis was providing excellent care and attention to Truly. Her communication with me was also excellent and I was so pleased and grateful that she had such a gentle and calming way with my very nervous girl! Thank you so much Airis, I would definitely recommend her to anyone. ”

About: What sets me apart is how personal I make the care. I don’t just look after pets — I take the time to really understand them and treat them like family. I’ve fostered and raised three puppies at the same time from a young age, so I know how to handle different personalities, keep them happy and safe, and help them learn the basics with patience (and plenty of treats!). I’ve also cared for senior dogs and even a blind dog, where it’s all about being gentle, calm, and consistent so they feel safe and secure. On the other end, I’ve worked with cats rescued from hoarding situations — some were extremely nervous and shut down at first. It took time, trust-building, and lots of patience to help them feel safe enough to come out of their shells. It’s one of the most rewarding parts of what I do. Every animal is different, so I always tailor my care to suit their needs — whether that’s sticking to routines, reinforcing training, giving space and reassurance, or just spending time with them in a way they enjoy. I genuinely love what I do, and I think pets can feel that. Pet care fits into my daily and weekly routine really naturally — it’s something I love and build my days around. As a student, I have a flexible schedule, especially during the summer when I’m fully available. Even during the academic year, I have three full days off and my classes usually run between 9am and 2pm, so I still have plenty of time to give pets the attention they deserve. I structure my days to include at least three meaningful sessions with the animals I’m caring for. For dogs, that usually means three solid walks — often around an hour each — spaced throughout the day to give them exercise, stimulation, and structure. With cats, I’ll spend time on interactive play like hunting-style games for 20 minutes or so, spread across the day, plus plenty of cuddles and enrichment. I also love working on training and usually fit in short sessions before feeding times, which helps with focus and reinforces positive behaviour. Caring for animals isn’t something I squeeze into my schedule — it is the schedule. I’m committed to giving every pet in my care the time, energy, and attention they need to feel happy, safe, and loved. Whether I’m looking after your pet in your home or mine, I do everything I can to make them feel safe, comfortable, and truly cared for. When pets stay **in my home**, I give them their own space — usually a crate or cosy corner with their blankets and toys — that they can treat as their personal room. It’s a quiet, comfy area they can retreat to anytime they want to rest or take a break, but it’s never forced. I make sure their day is full of enrichment, play, affection, and rest, all balanced to suit their personality and energy level. When we head out for **walks**, safety comes first. I avoid unnecessary contact with other dogs and always bring plenty of fresh water to keep them hydrated, especially in warmer weather. I tailor the length and pace of the walk to your dog’s age, breed, and needs. In **your home**, I aim to keep their routine as consistent as possible — from feeding schedules and walking times to their favourite toys and nap spots. I leave everything just as I found it, and most importantly, your pet feels secure in their own environment. To give you peace of mind, I send regular daily updates with pictures, little notes about our day or concerns to keep you in the loop and give you a piece of mind

“Great guy and luna had a great time”

About: Experienced dog owner , living in a home with a fully enclosed garden . Your pooch would have access to indoors and be loved like my own . I can provide references on request and I have been doing dog sitting mostly as a hobby for the last 10 years both here and abroad. Any questions just ask :)

About: We have had dogs of our own for the past 14 years. Our oldest dog has sadly passed away so we would love to look after other people's dogs so our remaining dog has someone to play with. We have a fully enclosed acre of land for the dogs to play in. Any information you need please just ask. My wife works 2 days a week and is home the rest of the week. The days she works i arrive home around 1pm so they dogs would only be alone for 3 hours. We have a fully enclosed shed with a run behind it for the few hours we aren't home. We have a acre of land/garden that is fully enclosed with a shed that also has its own enclosure for the few hours a week that noone is home. Dogs would need to be friendly with other dogs as we have a German pointer that loves playing with other dogs and is lonely atm as our oldest dog has just past away.

About: I offer loving, home-from-home care where dogs are welcomed as part of the family. I take time to understand each dog’s routine, personality, and needs, ensuring they feel safe, relaxed, and truly cared for. I share my home with my husband and our gentle 8yr old cockapoo, and together we make visiting dogs feel comfortable, settled, and very loved. There are no children in the house. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work from home during the day, so dogs are never left alone for long and get consistent attention, company, and regular breaks. My evenings are free, which allows for relaxed walks, playtime, feeding routines, and plenty of cuddles. This means dogs are cared for throughout the day in a calm, unhurried environment that feels just like home. I provide a calm, secure home environment where dogs can relax and feel at ease. I have a fully fenced back garden in a quiet estate, giving dogs safe outdoor access for play and fresh air. Inside, dogs are free to roam the house just as they would in their own home, with cosy spaces to rest and relax. Walks take place in nearby dog-friendly areas such as Duckett’s Grove and Oak Park, which offer safe, enjoyable surroundings. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and wellbeing are always my top priority.

About: I have owned 2 dogs myself a King Charles and a border collie. My collie was a rescue who was very nervous and anxious so I am great with nervous dogs. I also help with my dad’s large golden retriever who is a senior dog, and I love being around any dog big or small no matter what breed. I am currently unemployed and available 7 days a week for day time dog sitting or nights in the owners property. I am available daily for dog walking also. I have a fenced and gated back garden that is spacious for dogs to run around and play, and a big field where all the neighbourhood dogs are walked and play together. I live close to the nature park and many nature trails. I am good with nervous dogs and dogs of all breeds as I have taken care of staffs, golden retriever, labs, rotties, westies and the list goes on. Your pet will have a playmate also
