“Christine did a drop in visit for our dog, really good communication dropped me a message when she arrived and left and even came round to visit him before the visit. Felt very reassured, would use again :)”

About: I have a Level 3 in Pet First Aid, extended insurance and an Enhanced DBS Certificate. I have been around dogs from a very young age. I grew up around three Yorkshire Terriers and, in my teens, a Staffordshire Bull Terrier and a Tibetan Terrier. I have also looked after a family member's dog, a French Bulldog, from when she was 6 months old until 3 years old when they moved away. During this time, I was able to teach her many tricks and my family member was always commenting on how much her behaviour was improving at home. I also had a cat for over 15 years. I am currently available most days and for nearly all services. Please contact me even if the booking shows I am not available because I would like to be as flexible as I can to help. BOARDING/DAYCARE: I have a fully enclosed 6ft fenced large garden. All rooms have doors, and your dog will have access to all rooms in the house. For added security, the stairs will have gates on the top and bottom, and there is plenty of room if your dog needs crating or separating upon request. There is also plenty of room if a quiet space needs to be created for your dog. Dogs are allowed on the furniture, creating a home away from home environment. My partner and son like to help out with the dogs I look after when they are not working, and there is more than likely someone always at home, so your dog will always have company. When dogs are in our care they always wear a tag with my details on too for added security. I like to stick to your dogs daily routine as much as possibly whilst still maintaining health and safety aspects. HOUSE SITTING: I treat all house stays as if I was living in my own home and have the most upright respect for your privacy. I advise arranging meet and greets before all bookings, so your pet and I can get a feel for each other to see if the match is right.

“Sara was lovely and very accommodating. We have 2 elderly and anxious cats that can be tricky to care for at times. Sara handled it well and communicated with us regularly, before and during our holiday, which put my mind at ease. ”

About: I'm a certified Canine Behaviourist (BCCSDip.AdvCanBhv), dog trainer and experienced pet care professional. A former Kennels Volunteer with Happy Landings Animal Rescue, I have extensive experience with dogs of all shapes, sizes and backgrounds. I have two dogs of my own, including a 52kg formerly reactive rescue, therefore no problem with giant breeds or powerful pullers. I pride myself not only on providing a high standard of care but also professionalism and effective communication. You can rest assured that your pets will be looked after as if they were my own! I work part-time from home so have plenty of flexibility for pet sitting. Happy to do pop ins, walks and overnight stays. I'm generally available for short notice bookings so if in doubt, do ask! The safety, wellbeing and tail wags (or purrs!) of your pet are my highest priority. I'm also happy to undertake other tasks such as watering plants, taking in mail, turning lights on and off etc. to ensure your time away is as stress-free as possible.

About: Lifelong animal lover with decades of hands‑on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I grew up with Basset Hounds, Collies and mixed‑breeds, and as an adult I’ve owned everything from a Doberman to a Jack Russell, an Italian Mastiff–Great Dane cross, and now my young Rhodesian Ridgeback. I’m confident with high‑energy dogs, nervous or reactive dogs, and pets with health needs. I also have lifelong experience with cats and share my home with Ramona, my gentle 12‑year‑old ginger moggie. Calm, reliable, and genuinely caring—I keep pets happy, settled, and well looked after with regular updates so you always feel reassured. Pet care fits naturally into my day because I already structure my mornings and evenings around walking and caring for my own pets. I can offer drop‑ins or walks before and after work, and I’m more flexible at weekends for longer visits or extra support. I’m used to building routines around animals, so fitting in regular pop‑ins, feeding, playtime, and walks is something I genuinely enjoy. I care for pets in their own home, where they feel safest and most settled. Keeping them in their familiar environment helps reduce stress and keeps their routine consistent. I follow your instructions closely, keep everything secure, and make sure your pet feels calm, comfortable, and well looked after while you’re away.

“Could not have asked for more. Felt entirely comfortable and happy with Gillian looking after our dog whilst we were away at a wedding! 10/10 ⭐️”

“I met Kim a few days ago to go through the routine that we have with our 5 month old puppy. Kim is due to start Monday but due to an emergency she was able to attend short notice to help us out. She is amazing at communication and brilliant at following instructions. Kim also has a very good report with our nervous dog and instantly clicked with one another. Look forward to continue booking with Kim. Highly recommend! 😊”

“Really helpful and a lovely lady, nothing was an issue and she helped me out at short notice with a dog visit. Updates and information on the visit plus she took the time to understand my dogs needs and took care of everything. 10/10 would use again.”

About: Growing up in country Australia I have been surrounded by all kinds of dogs from rescue greyhounds, senior citizens, and puppies my whole life. I have have a pooch of my own (a double doodle named Ffyn) and would love to take special care of your K9 family. I am experienced in house sitting, walking, and drop ins. I currently own a doodle puppy who would love the company of another dog, young or old. I work from home part of the week and my partner works from home full time. We live in a cottage in the countryside with easy access to beautiful forest and field walks, and have a very comfortable sofa for your pooch to relax on after a nice walk. We have a fully fenced garden and outdoor area. The house with its thick stone walls stays lovely and cool in hot weather where the dogs love to relax inside.

“Wow! Carrie was so brilliant! She’s so lovely and was able to help us out last minute after being let down by someone else. She cared for our Leo so well and sent regular updates and pictures, which made us feel so at ease. She went above and beyond to make Leo’s care perfect. We would absolutely highly recommend her and book with her again!”

“Emily has been a wonderful dog sitter for Bonnie- she was so kind and easy to communicate with and Bonnie instantly loved her! Couldn’t recommend Emily higher if I tried!”

“Katie was a life saver and came round at very short notice to sit with our 9 week old puppy when we were out.”

About: Hi, I’m Leah I started offering pet care in June, and since then I’ve really enjoyed getting to know lots of lovely dogs and pets and gaining hands-on experience caring for them. While I’m still relatively new to professional pet care, I’m reliable, caring and take the responsibility of looking after someone’s pet very seriously. I grew up with and cared for my own English Bulldog, who was 10 years old when she sadly passed away last year. She was a huge part of my life and helped me realise just how much I love caring for animals. I’m fully insured, DBS checked and have completed a dog first aid course, so your pet’s safety and wellbeing is always really important to me. I understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their individual personality, routine and needs. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in visit or overnight care, I’ll always treat them with patience, kindness and plenty of attention. I’m also happy to send regular photo updates so you can see how they’re getting on while you’re away. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pets and give them the care and attention they deserve! I currently work 26 hours a week over 4 days, so I have regular days and times available for pet care. I currently work: Tuesday 9:30-4 Wednesday 12-4 Thursday 8:45 - 5:30 Saturday 8:45-5:30 I’m happy to work around my schedule where possible and can offer walks, drop-in visits and overnight stays. I always make sure I only accept bookings that I can fully commit to, so your pet gets the time, attention and care they deserve. When caring for pets in their own home, I always aim to keep them comfortable and maintain their normal routine as much as possible. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, including feeding times, walks, medication and any other specific needs your pet has. I understand that leaving your pet and home with someone new can feel daunting, so I’m respectful of your space and take their safety and wellbeing seriously. I’m also happy to send regular photo and video updates so you can relax knowing your pets are happy and well cared for.

“Thank you so much for coming to see Ralph - he definitely felt a lot happier with someone dropping in with him!”

About: As a 22-year-old veterinary medicine student with a strong foundation in animal care and a passion for animal welfare, I'm excited to offer your pet a safe, loving, and stimulating environment. My 14 years of experience caring for various animals, including 16 guinea pigs, a dog, a cat, and a rabbit, have equipped me with the skills to meet the unique needs of each pet. I'm dedicated to providing personalized attention and ensuring your furry friend feels right at home. I am a full-time university student at university Monday to Friday so I will be able to mostly fit my work around whatever your pet's schedule is! As a vet student, I can handle and care for most species/breeds to whatever schedule you wish with lots of cuddles and love of course :)

About: I grew up with two border collies. I helped care for them from pups to seniors. I don't have that many photos of me and them together or me and any pet together as I was a bit camera shy. I completely understand what it takes and how much our animals mean to us. From feeding them twice to three times a day, to the hours upon hours of walking I did with them by my side. I really learnt what it was like to care and look after pets. Young and old. I was in control of dog sledging team last winter. Competeing in races and casual sledging. I worked with my mother who fostered a puppy when our dog was senior, so I understand the difference in age and what is required with each stage of an animals life. Catering my experience to whatever stage your pet is at. I am an avid hiker and love taking dogs with me. I have been left friends dogs and cats to feed while they were away. Overall I just love animals. I am very flexible around dates and times. On an average week I will have 2-3 days i can dedicate to your pet. It will take a bit of organizing but I am sure that I can fit around your schedule. I like to listen to the pet owners about their pets, as I believe they know them best. I look to find out all i can about a dog before walks. If I am too come to your home. I like to know if the pet is on any medication. If there is any strict rules the pet follows (like not being allowed in bedrooms) after all it's the pets home. I'm just a visitor. Overall I like to get a sense of the animal and the situation I am coming into.

“Lily responded so quickly to my last minute request and was superb with the cats, very attentive to all details, and great at reporting back. Thank you!”

I’d love to help care for your furry family members!

I will provide a calm and loving environment for your pet to enjoy their visit with us. I have an enclosed back garden to give your pets a safe and secure outdoor space if required. You're more than welcome to visit our home to see if we have the appropriate environment for your pet prior to booking.

About: Dog walking and dog/cat sitting services offered. Your dog will get a chance to practice his/her training skills that they may have while we walk. Will also be observed when he/she is been taken care of, including basic health checks to ensure they are in a good condition to be exercised. I have always had cats in my life and I I offer a caring service that is individually suited to your pet. I have volunteered at a dog's home in San Diego working with dogs that had certain issues arising from neglect, and have also volunteered at Abbotsleigh. I have looked after many animals for friends and have always had very good feedback and recommendations. Distinction* in level 3 animal management so I am well informed on the legislative and legal aspects of pet sitting, and am in the process of applying for insurance.
