“Holly was fantastic in every way! We had a great meet up ahead of the booking, and she was easy to communicate with throughout. She sent us lovely photos of Rusty, who was clearly very calm and settled with her. Our house was left exactly as we left it; Holly was very clean and tidy. We’d absolutely recommend booking Holly!”


About: For the last 5 years, I have been independently dog boarding and housesitting which I absolutely love and enjoy. I'm now at university which means I've slowed down with dog sitting, however I can't quite give it up completely! Having grown up with my mum running her own dog boarding business, I am very used to dogs of all shapes and sizes. I'm also experienced with puppies. During the summer holidays I'm available every day of the week. I can also take last minute bookings. I am currently studying at university so I'm available during evenings, Fridays and weekends. I'm also available during Easter and summer holidays. I am a very experienced and responsible dog lover. I will ask for and listen to all information on your dog so that I can care for them in the best way possible. I would always keep dog on the lead on walks until I felt we know each other well enough and have built trust before letting them off the lead.

“Ruby was absolutely amazing with my doggies and the arrangements in place. She arrived on time and communicated constantly throughout the day so I knew Toby and Bella were in good hands. She sent photo updates and could see they were happy and content, which is always comforting when you’re away. She administered pain relief for Toby without any issues and left my home and the dogs secure when she left…as I arrived home later. Will definitely ask Ruby to sit again if she’s available and can happily & confidently recommend her”


“Emma looked after our puppy and did a great job. She kept me updated with regular texts, which I really appreciated, and was reliable and kind throughout. It was clear our puppy was in good hands. Would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog sitter. We are very happy with her and the services provided and definitely will continue with her.”


“We were very happy with the service Gabrielle provided , she kept us updated with photographs and messages all the time. I would contract her service again.”


“Thanks so much Kyra for your time and care while we were away for a few days. We felt very fortunate to have you taking care of our 2 cats and all of their specific needs & keeping our home clean and secure while we were away. We wouldn’t hesitate to have you house sit in the future. Highly recommend Kyra for her commitment to providing an efficient service with a warm human touch.”


“Amazing! My girl who is usually shy meeting new people instantly bonded with Virginia! They played and had cuddles and I couldn’t be happier! Would highly recommend Virginia! Such a lovely person and I can’t thank her enough for putting my mind completely as ease.”


About: I’ve had pets at home for basically my whole life. I have saved many stray cats and found lovely homes for all of them, kept some for myself as well. You can be sure that I’ll treat your pet as if it were my own :) I currently offer house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking—all done at your home or in your local area. Since I work remotely full-time, I’m flexible and can give your pet plenty of attention throughout the day. Every pet has their own routine and personality, and I’m happy to follow your instructions to keep everything running smoothly. Whether it’s feeding, medication, a walk, or just some quiet company, I’m here to help—as long as I have access to Wi-Fi so I can bring my work laptop along. :) Feel free to message me with any questions—I’d love to get to know you and your pet! I have a full time job, but luckily I’m working fully remotely so I will have all the time in the world to spend with your pet. When caring for pets in their own home, I stick to their usual routine to keep things familiar and stress-free. I make sure they’re fed, walked, cleaned up after, and given plenty of attention. I follow your instructions closely, whether it’s about medication, feeding times, or preferred walking routes. I always keep the space tidy and make sure your pet feels comfortable and safe while you’re away.

“Cath is great and it was great to have someone caring for Mimi who has experience of nervous or anxious dogs. Cath came over for a meet and greet and asked some good questions to better understand Mimi. Cath is professional, great with Mimi and reliable. I would highly recommend Cath to look after your pooch.”


About: I'm calm and reliable with a true love for dogs/cats of all ages. I have experience with both playful puppies and senior dogs needing gentle care. Whether it's basic training, or just extra attention, I tailor each visit to your dog/cats needs, like they’re my own. I make time for dog care regularly, whether it’s daily walks or drop-in visits. I keep things flexible to fit your schedule and make sure your pup gets plenty of attention and exercise. I love what I do, and your dog’s routine is always a priority. Your dog’s safety and comfort come first. In your home, I follow your pet’s routine exactly as you lay it out, from feeding and walks to any medications or special care instructions. I take care to respect your space, keep things tidy, and ensure your dog feels relaxed and secure while you're away. I’m mindful with doors, gates, and leashes at all times, and I always keep a close eye on their behavior and well-being. You can feel confident knowing your dog and your home, are in safe, responsible hands.

“Absolutely fabulous sitters for our dog. We left Rumple for two weeks with Chris and his partner in our home and they made sure his time apart from us was amazing. They sent us lots of updates, photos videos and he looked like he was having the best time. We are so happy we have found people who really love and cared for our dog and made him feel special. Thanks so much guys.”


About: I've grown up with dogs and now have my own. I love their company and taking them on nice walks. I’ve looked after dogs for friends and family, and your dog’s wellbeing is as much a priority as my own dog. I work from home and walk my own dog regularly throughout the day. We have the beach on our doorstep, and also I know loads of lovely shaded woodland walks nearby. I live in a house with a fenced garden and open plan living downstairs. Your dog will have the freedom to roam the house like my dog, and into the garden on sunny days.

“I have no hesitation in recommended Solene. Her communication from the start was friendly and professional. The trust that she built with my timid rescue dog, Tilly, in such a short time was amazing. Solene has such a natural affinity with animals and I had no worries about leaving Tilly in her care. I was kept updated with photos and videos which I loved. Solene also proved to be a dab hand at guinea pig handling lol. We came home to a happy dog, tidy house and even folded laundry! Couldn't have asked for more.”

About: I’ve had animals from a very young age. I had a calico cat called Esmeralda, who was very sophisticated and liked to play the violin (how my mum used to describe her) Jerry, a stray cat boy who found us, and liked to eat quavers. Rolo, my Yorkshire terrier who was a personality, loved scrambled eggs and walkies. A hamster called missy who lived in her exercise wheel and enjoyed the odd Dorito. I had Zod, Kalel and Oliver in my adult years, and still today have my fat boy Oli who is like a shadow and very very precious to me. I have pet sat for various friends, including a nervous cat boy called Jack, Sasha the princess King Charles Carverlier, and Maisie the Parsons Jack Russel Terrier. I adore animals and treat them with the utmost respect. I would love to meet your furry family member :) I work from home, so my job role is easy to fit around pet sitting, the only day I would not be home all day, would be a Thursday in term time only for the next year so this would be something that needs to be considered, otherwise I am home very often. My home will be their home. I have no restrictions as long as your pet is safe and cared for. I have a communal garden out the front and live 2 minutes away from the park and the beach which is great for morning and afternoon walkies. My vet is nearby and have access to transport if needed.

About: I've looked after dogs and cats for the last 10 years. Dog wise, I have helped my friends and neighbours. Cats I spend a lot of time with including my own! I work full time but a lot of the time it is flexible and I can work from home. So I am flexible in the hours and support I can supply to meet needs. I always ensure I take the time to get to know the pet and ensure they have a friendly face around to make them feel comfortable. I can do whatever is asked of me, including taking bins out, drawing curtains etc if needed. I am fully DBS checked and am reliable.

About: I have been around all kinds of animals all of my life and spent many years working in various animals industries. I have pet care qualifications and happy to look after with a wide variety of dogs and cats I treat each animals as if it’s my own and have great knowledge and understanding in each animals and owners needs and preferences. Each booking I take is pet centred and I take pride in looking after other peoples fur babies with 5 star care! I am self employed so control my work to suit around bookings and my life style. I have a van which I can collect and drop off any pets if required. I have a fenced garden and a van for transportation. Currently not taking any dog boarders only drops ins and walks. Can provide boarding for small animals

About: My family has had golden retrievers since I was four years old. We’ve also had cats for as long as I can remember. I’ve loved growing up with pets. I’m now a student so I can’t afford my own and I don’t have the space for one but would still love to spend time with animals as I think they’re the best - I love the way they connect us to nature. I am currently a medical student at Warwick University. I will therefore be free to care for pets in the evenings and at the weekends. I’m not offering services in my own home but in an owner’s home I am very capable of following instructions to ensure your pet’s routine is exactly as they would expect - routine and normality is important for pets!

Jessica W.
“Jess is my go to when it comes to looking after my beloved Parsons Jack Russell Maisie. Being 15 years, I rarely leave her for any length of time but when I have to, Jess is always helpful, considerate and accommodating. She is attentive to my dog's needs, taking time to learn and adapt her ways to ensure that Maisie has everything she might need when her owner is away. Jess is good natured, kind and, above all, a genuine animal lover. She is keen to make sure that Maisie is well cared for and always goes the extra mile. As you might imagine trusting your animal with somebody can be daunting but I am always encouraged by her ready and positive attitude and doesn't feel bothered or hampered by occasional messages asking for updates-she'll even send pictures to me! Jess does a great job at alleviating what is otherwise a stressful situation and myself and Maisie feel very safe with her. A hearty recommendation from me and Maisie.”

Mollie F.
“Mollie spent a week regularly walking my dog. Overall both myself (and my dog) were very happy with her work. My dog can be anxious when separated from us, but Mollie handled this incredibly well and by the end of the week, my dog couldn't get enough of her. Can't recommend Mollie enough.”
