“Emily was our absolute assurance that Dottie Lou would be very well cared for during our absence. She sent us messages and photos for each visit which showed that our treasured little rescue kitty had found a new friend. We are so grateful to have found Emily … she’s wonderful!”

“Larissa is a lovely young woman who made fast friends with my cat, Flash. She followed my instructions to the letter, including sending us adorable photos and videos on a regular basis. We came back home to find a calm, happy, well-feed kitty. We will definitely be using her again!”

About: Hey! I am a 21 year old student veterinary nurse, completing my apprenticeship at a local practice. I have been dog walking and sitting for people locally for around 5 years, caring for them before or after work. I studied A levels in Animal Management and have worked since then at a doggy day care centre caring for over 20 dogs at once, whilst also at a farm. I also have two cheeky terriers. Therefore, I am used to a lot of mischief! I also own a lovely cat and have done numerous cat sittings too, staying at the clients house :) it’s fair to say, my life revolves around these four legged creatures- including rabbits and guinea pigs too! I am working full time at the moment, however I work both early and late shifts. Therefore I am happy to visit/ walk your pet before work, or if I’m on a late shift; in the evening afterwards. I am also available some weekends to stay over if needed!:) I currently am not looking after animals in my house due to my naughty terriers being enough to handle by themselves! They aren’t the biggest fan of new friends! However, I am more than happy to visit or stay at your house when needed!

“Emma was really nice and gentle with Oskar, who is a bit of a scaredy cat. We really appreciated the updates and beautiful photos of Oskar that she sent while we were away. Will definitely ask her to look after him again the next time we go away. :)”

About: I’ve had pets for as long as I can remember and have grown up around animals my whole life. I have many years of experience caring for cats and started looking after them from a young age. I also have my own dog, who is now 8 years old, so I’m very familiar with the daily care, exercise, attention and responsibility that dogs require. Because of this, I’m comfortable caring for both cats and dogs and understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, loved and relaxed while their owners are away. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual needs, whether that’s play, walks, feeding routines or simply providing companionship and reassurance. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m used to planning my day around the needs of pets, including feeding, walks, playtime and making sure they’re comfortable and well cared for. Since I have my own dog, I already follow a regular routine that includes walks and dedicated time for attention and exercise. I’m reliable with maintaining pets’ usual schedules and routines, as I know how important consistency is for them. I’m happy to fit visits, walks and check-ins around my day to make sure pets get the care and companionship they need. I provide pet care in the owner’s home so pets can stay in a familiar and comfortable environment while their owners are away. I make sure to follow the pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks playtime, and any specific care instructions provided by the owner. I always take time to build trust with each pet so they feel safe and relaxed. I make sure they have plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship and I keep their space clean and secure. I’m also happy to provide updates to owners for peace of mind while they’re away. Being in their own home helps reduce stress for pets and I aim to make sure they feel cared for, comfortable, and well looked after at all times.

About: I’ve taken family friend’s dogs on walks and love to have a good play session with them! I have two beautiful cats and worked in a zoo for a year so I understand the importance of making sure everything adheres to their schedule! I’m currently at university and on break! Until September I’ll be free anytime and will be able to do evening drop ins after then! I’m careful to ensure fenced environments are safe and that the area is safe and clean for your dog! I understand that pets have varying needs and will make a checklist for all your pets specific needs so you will know what time everything has been done!

About: I care for pets of all ages, from playful puppies to senior companions. I’m calm, patient, and attentive—happy to help with basic training, medication, and giving each pet personalized attention. currently work from home full-time, so I’m able to care for one dog or cat at a time. I love going for long walks (weather permitting), and I always make time for cuddles and play during my breaks! I treat every home with respect and every pet like family. I follow routines closely, keep environments calm and secure, and always prioritise safety, trust, and the pet’s comfort. My house has a big, secure fenced garden—perfect for safe play, fresh air, and tail wags!

About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was young and have experience with dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities. I’m reliable, patient, and truly love spending time with animals. Friends, family, and neighbors trust me to feed, walk, and care for their pets as if they were my own. I’m attentive to each pet’s needs and always make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved.” I work in my own house, so I'm always at home and when I have to go out, my boyfriend is at home and helps me take care of them. I live in a house with a fenced garden, providing a safe and comfortable environment for pets. I can host small, calm animals in my home. For medium and large dogs, I'm happy to provide care in the owner's home. I always make sure pets feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for, following their routine and needs.

About: I have had my family dog for 9 years and became an Animal Care Attendant at a Doggy Daycare 2 years ago. I have also looked after many other dogs for up to 3-week periods. I’m currently working casual flexible hours so will be available any time to look after your pups and I am happy to travel as I can drive. I can make my work hours fit around your schedule! I will only be offering sitting and boarding in your home as mine would not be suitable for a doggy guest and your dog’s safety is my top priority. This also means they can stay in their familiar environment!

“Rebecca was super kind, flexible, and she was gentle and lovely with our dog. Definitely recommend! We would most definitely contact her again :))”

I have experience looking after dogs with different personalities and needs, and I always treat them as my own. I also have a valid DBS certificate for extra peace of mind.

About: I have grown up with animals, specifically dogs and cats . Animals make a home and I would not be without them, I simply adore them I am around most weekends and can often be found roaming the countryside or attending yoga classes. I also have the advantage that my partner is a dog groomer so I get to fuss a lot of different dogs from any age and breed . I will treat your pet as a part of the family to give you peace of mind whilst away from them. ☺️ I have a fenced back garden and an old cat who keeps herself to herself now and is used to other animals coming and going :) we also have a 18 week old kitten called Mina 😍
