“Kat looked after our boy so well! She kept us updated and he was very relaxed when we finally got home. We had stressful train delays returning and Kat was very reassuring& flexible. She’s a pleasure to work with, thank you Kat 😊”

About: Hi, my name is Karis! I’m someone who genuinely loves animals and spending time with them—it never feels like a job to me! I’ve always been around pets and understand how important it is to give them attention, patience, and care tailored to their personality. I’m also working towards a more active lifestyle and love getting outside more, so dog walking is something I really enjoy. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or prefers a slower, relaxed pace, I’m happy to adapt to what suits them best. I’m happy to help with walks, feeding, playtime, or just keeping your pet company while you’re away. I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and get plenty of attention. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is in safe hands. I can’t wait to meet your pet and give them lots of love and attention! I’m available every day of the week and can be flexible to suit your needs. I currently work Wednesday to Sunday from 1pm–11pm, but I’m still available in the mornings before work for visits, walks, or check-ins. I also have full availability on Mondays and Tuesdays. I’ll always do my best to accommodate your pet’s routine and make sure they receive consistent, reliable care. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and wellbeing are always my top priorities. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, preferences, and any specific instructions so I can provide consistent and reliable care. I’m attentive to their behaviour and surroundings, making sure they feel safe, secure, and relaxed at all times. I’m respectful of your home and will always keep it clean, tidy, and secure during visits. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident and reassured while you’re away. You can trust that your pet will be cared for with patience, kindness, and attention, just like they would be at home.

“Morgana was very caring with my puppy when I had to leave him home alone for the first time when I went back to work. She made sure he was well looked after and she sent lots of update pictures too. Would recommend to anyone in the area.”

About: Hi, I’m Charlotte. I’ve recently moved back to the UK after living in Australia for 4 years and I’m now offering pet and house sitting. I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life, my mum’s house has basically been a bit of a dog kennel over the years (in the best way!), so I’ve always been hands on helping with everything from walks to feeding and general care. We’ve had Staffies, Chihuahuas, German Shepherds and Cocker Spaniels, so I’m very comfortable with different sizes, temperaments and energy levels. I also come from a healthcare/admin background, so I’m reliable, organised and used to responsibility and routines. I’ve recently returned from Australia and trying to adjust being back so i wanted to put my time, energy and love into something I genuinely enjoy alongside my admin work to help me get back to adjusting to be back home! I’m confident with dogs, cats and other small pets, and I’ll always follow your pet’s routine closely. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you have peace of mind while you’re away. Currently offering a lower introductory rate while I build reviews. Happy to arrange a free meet & greet. I work Monday to Friday in a flexible admin role, so I’m able to plan my day around pet care, including walks, drop-ins and spending quality time with your pet. I’m fully available near enough every evening and weekends. I’m often out on the fells so I love getting dogs out for walks as it keeps me company rather than being on my own. I’m happy to be flexible and follow your pet’s usual routine to keep them comfortable and settled. I provide pet care in your home, so your pet can stay in a familiar and comfortable environment while you’re away. I’m respectful, clean and trustworthy, and I’ll follow your instructions closely to keep your pet’s routine as normal as possible, including feeding, walks and any specific care needs. I’m confident with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I’ll also keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you have complete peace of mind while you’re away.

“Emily was brilliant throughout, she visited my house prior to looking after Judge to meet us both. Communication was excellent and Judge was content when I arrived home. Emily remained very flexible over the two days which was key and enabled me to enjoy my time away.”

“Jenny came to sit for me this week for my dog and cat. She was really lovely, keen to understand all about their routines, likes and dislikes, Jenny sent me pictures and it looked as if my dog was really enjoying her company. He bonded really well with her. Would definitely recommend.”

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and truly see them as a treasured part of the family. I’ve owned dogs myself and have also cared for many dogs for friends and family over the years. I’m experienced with a variety of breeds and personalities, including hounds, terriers, collies, dachshunds as well as mixed breeds. This has helped me become comfortable adapting to different energy levels, routines, and care needs. I have recently adopted a little cockapoo girl who is my bundle of joy, she is super friendly and loves meeting new dogs. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I will treat your dog like my own, always making sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and well looked after while in my care. I work from home full time Tuesday through to Friday, which means dogs in my care have plenty of company throughout the day. Because I’m home, I can offer regular toilet breaks, playtime, treats, and lots of cuddles so they never feel lonely. During the day, I have natural downtime where I can feed, play, and spend time with your dog. Dogs will usually enjoy a 45-minute lunchtime walk and a longer walk once I finish work, along with plenty of cuddles and a good old snooze. I will always want to make your dog feel safe and like part of the family whilst staying with me, so I am happy to tailor my approach to your dog. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in a quiet, adult-only household with no children, which helps create a calm and relaxed environment for visiting dogs. I also have my own 8-month-old cockapoo, Roxi, who is very friendly and loves meeting new dog friends. She’s sociable, playful, and used to sharing her space with other dogs. The house has a secure, fully enclosed rear garden where dogs can safely go out for fresh air and toilet breaks whenever they need. We’re also lucky to have several parks and green spaces nearby, which are perfect for daily walks and exercise. I always follow each dog’s usual routine as closely as possible and take time to make sure they feel comfortable and settled in my home. Dogs are supervised, given plenty of attention, and treated like part of the family while they stay with me. I’m always happy to arrange a meet-and-greet beforehand so you and your dog feel completely comfortable, and I’ll send regular photo and message updates during their stay so you can see how they’re getting on.

“Elizabeth was great at looking after Tamu - thank you so much! She was very communicative with me sending messages and pictures regularly, which was very reassuring. She also left the house looking great too. Would happily recommend Elizabeth others.”
