“Emily was absolutely wonderful. My cat was a bit under the weather and she was very adept at giving him his medication. She put my mind at ease and kept me updated, how he was doing.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and a variety of other animals from a young age. I am not able to have my own pet currently but frequently look after friends and families pets whilst they are busy or away. I am active so willing to go on long walks as well as bathing if needed, I will keep to feeding schedules and follow owners wishes when looking after their pets. I work from home 2 days a week. Every Friday and alternate Mondays / Wednesdays. I do not work weekends, so I am happy to dedicate weekends to caring for your pup. I live in a house with a fenced garden but I also live near large parks which I frequently walk around in my lunch breaks when working from home.

About: I have 2 cats at home. Dog sat for family members and loved every second of it. Had a healthy dog when I was younger, sadly he passed due to cancer. Currently working part-time. Love all kinds of animals. Will need time to work around my work schedules but I will be willing to help you. I have 2 cats at home. Unfortunately will not be able to care for animals within my home but I am more than happy to travel to your home to care for your animal

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, with a special place in my heart for Labradors, though I’ve been lucky to be surrounded by a variety of breeds over the years. My connection with animals runs deep—I’ve always been incredibly attentive and caring, often described as a dog whisperer. I truly enjoy the process of training and teaching dogs new tricks, finding joy in the bond that grows through shared learning. Some of my favorite moments are spent on long walks, along the beach, through the countryside, or exploring quiet woodland trails. Over the years, I’ve also taken on the responsibility of l caring for dogs with health issues, always striving to ensure they feel loved, safe, and well looked after. I’m currently taking a step back from the fast-paced city life to focus on my mental well-being and reflect on my future. This break has given me the perfect chance to reconnect with what truly brings me peace and fulfillment—being around animals. I’ve always had a deep love and passion for them, especially dogs and cats, and caring for them has always felt natural. I love walking and playing with animals, giving them my full time, attention, and affection. I form strong bonds through patience, calm energy, and a genuine desire to make them feel happy, safe, and understood. bring a calm and secure presence, and I pride myself on being extremely clean, organized, punctual, and independent. I am deeply trustworthy and always willing to go above and beyond to ensure the best service.

“Sam was brilliant with our dog I will definitely ask her again she was so friendly and lovely and waffle loved her too, I highly recommend Sam 🙂”

I'm here to keep your pup happy and your home in tip-top shape while you're away. Whether your dog is a zoomie-loving goofball or a professional couch potato, I’ll match their vibe and make sure they feel totally at ease. I treat every pet like they’re my own—because they deserve nothing less than tail wags and TLC! I’m super reliable, respectful of your space, and always happy to send cute photo updates (yes, your dog will have a mini photoshoot). 🐾📸 Let’s make your time away stress-free—for both you and your furry friend! I’m available all week and provide a morning walk, a midday visit with toilet breaks, and an afternoon walk.

About: What sets me apart is my unique combination of over 10 years of hands-on pet care experience and professional training in building trust and managing challenging situations. As a former Prison Officer, I've developed skills in reading behavior, maintaining calm in stressful situations, and building relationships with individuals who need patience and understanding—skills that translate perfectly to pet care. I've cared for dogs of all breeds and ages, cats, rats, and fish for friends and family throughout the past decade. Having grown up with dogs and owned cats myself, I understand that every animal has a unique personality and set of needs. My experience ranges from energetic puppies requiring training and socialization to senior pets needing gentle, specialized care. My professional background has taught me the importance of routine, consistency, and clear communication - all essential for keeping pets happy and owners at ease. I'm trained in First Aid and have experience managing multiple responsibilities simultaneously, ensuring your pet receives attentive, reliable care. Whether it's administering medication, maintaining feeding schedules, or simply providing companionship, I approach each pet with the same dedication I'd want for my own furry family members. As a current student at Plymouth University, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to prioritise pet care around my studies. My academic timetable gives me excellent availability for pet sitting, dog walking, and drop-in visits throughout the week. Having managed demanding shift work as a Prison Officer, I'm organised and reliable with scheduling. I understand that pets thrive on routine, so I work closely with owners to maintain their pet's established feeding times, walk schedules, and playtime. My experience in team leadership and managing multiple responsibilities means I can integrate pet care into my daily routine while ensuring every animal receives consistent attention and exercise. I'm available to accommodate both regular weekly bookings and last-minute requests. Trust and safety are fundamental to everything I do—values deeply ingrained from my professional experience working with vulnerable individuals. I treat your home and pet with the same respect and security I'd expect for my own family. In pet owners' homes, I maintain strict security protocols, follow all house rules, and provide regular updates with photos and messages so you stay connected with your furry friend. I understand that leaving your pet with someone new requires tremendous trust. My background in building relationships with individuals in challenging circumstances has taught me patience, consistency, and the importance of clear communication. I provide detailed updates about your pet's day, including their meals, walks, playtime, and any notable behaviors. Whether caring for an anxious rescue dog, a senior cat with medication needs, or an energetic puppy, I adapt my approach to each pet's individual personality and requirements. Your pet's comfort, safety, and happiness are my top priorities, and I'm committed to providing the same level of care and attention I'd want for my own beloved animals.

About: Hello. My partner and I work full time from home and have one friendly Romanian rescue dog called Jax, and a cat that likes to keep out the way! We have both had dogs and cats throughout our lives. We can be flexible on times and are available to look after your dog at ours or at your home. We have a small fenced garden which we would take the dog to for regular toilet breaks. At our home, our dog would always be around and it is not possible to keep them separate, so we would only be able to look after dogs that get on with other dogs - we are happy to do a meet and greet before hand. However, if we were coming to your home, our dog would stay home. If you have any questions, drop is a message! Thanks.

“Lauren is amazing, I can’t recommend her highly enough! She completely understood both of my dogs, one is a nervous rescue and the other a bundle of crazy energy. Lauren is definitely the dog whisperer, and now I’ve found her I know I can go away on holidays without any worries about how they will be looked after.”

About: Growing up around both cats and dogs, I know the love and commitment needed to provide our pets with the care they deserve! I currently have three gorgeous dogs in my family home who I regularly feed, walk and play ball with while my parents are on holiday! I also have experience in house-sitting where I have looked after a wonderful cat while their owners relax on holiday☺️ I would love the opportunity to look after your lovely pets and am available for house sitting or drop-ins, giving you peace of mind while on holiday or at work! I am currently working part time until I begin my full time role at the end of the summer! Therefore I am flexible and available to work throughout the week as well as the weekends! As I have three dogs at home our garden is fully secure with fencing! However, I will be offering house-sitting in the pet owners home due to my rescue dog who sometimes finds it hard to make friends!

“If you are thinking about booking molly to look after you four legged friend then do it! Molly looked after my 5 year old French Bulldog today and he had the time of his life. Molly sent me lots of photos of Leo throughout the day which kept my mind at ease. Leo doesn’t cope well with the heat being a French bulldog and molly kept him indoors and had fans on for him all day. Molly treated Leo as if he were her own dog with lots of cuddles and treats all day. Molly I cannot thank you enough for looking after Leo, I think he now officially loves someone more than me ?. He will definitely see you again soon!”

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a teenager. I have been responsible for walking them, feeding them and providing them with training and enrichment. As an owner of a nervous rescue dog I also have an understating of separation anxiety, nervousness outside and the important of maintaining routines to help your pets feel settled. I have experience in giving dogs medication and I am well informed about nutrition and enrichment for dogs. I am a very patient person and I understand how important it is take time to build a relationship with your pet where that can feel safe and secure with me. I am a full time freelancer so I am very flexible with my availability. I have my own car so I do not need to rely on public transport to get around and can travel when needed. I cannot care for dogs in my own home due to my own dog being nervous however I am more than happy to care for pets within their homes. I have public liability insurance and I am keen to work with owners to make everything as comfortable for them and their pet as possible. I have experience with crating dogs when needed also.

“Laura was fantastic. She looked after Bosco really well, gave him long walks - which he loved, and left the house very tidy. We’ll definitely book you again.”
