“Eli was fantastic. Summer took to her very quickly (which is very rare). Summer was having a hard time with the original schedule we had set up so Eli quickly adapted the timings and even stayed the night because my pup was having a hard time alone overnight. I will be using her in the future as long as she is available.”

“Caroline looked after our dog, cat and African Grey Parrot for the week, and she was the perfect houseguest and carer for our pets. She kept us updated throughout the week with regular messages, pictures and lovely updates, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We returned home to a lovely, clean and well looked after house, and our pets were happy and clearly very well cared for. We would 100% recommend Caroline and will definitely be using her again in the future. Thank you so much, Caroline!”

“Gary was absolutely brilliant looking after our Frenchies, Remi and Buster. It’s clear that he genuinely loves animals and treats them with great care, kindness, and attention. He took excellent care of them, made sure they were happy and comfortable, and followed everything we requested perfectly. Gary is a very reliable, friendly, and caring person a true animal lover. We felt completely at ease knowing our boy and girl were in such good hands. We would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a pet sitter and we will definitely use him again in the future. THANK YOU GARY 🐾 🐾”

“Ellie was really lovely, and accommodating - doing a last minute sit for me when I was going to stay with a friend. I never met her as she had to complete her work day before coming, but she found her way in smoothly and everything went blissfully. She sent me regular updates every couple of hours - unusually frequent, and I really enjoyed seeing my two having a good time - a little tug at the heart strings and a feeling of love every time I got a new photo. I’ve asked my usual sitters to send more frequent updates now! I’d thoroughly recommend Ellie and would have her back in a heartbeat! Thank you Ellie, from Sandra, Yola and Flo ☺️🐾🐾”

About: I am a professional pet sitter and have been set up as a business “Pet Sitting By Nicola” since August 2018. I began as predominantly a live-in overnight pet sitter, but I can now offer regular weekly dog walks and pet visits, along with ad hoc walks and visits. The pet visits I offer can include feeding, medication, health checks, dog walks, pop in visits for toilet breaks, company and enrichment activities. I have completed my Canine and Feline first aid certificates, a pet sitting diploma and many other canine qualifications with the Dog training college including certificates in separation anxiety, reactive dogs, rescue dogs, and dog psychology/behaviour. I have an additional 3 years experience in pet sitting prior to setting up my business (overnight and day sits) for friends and family. I also have 3 years experience dog walking on a voluntary basis for elderly and terminally ill hospice patients via St Nicholas Hospice and Our special Friends animal charity. I have experience with small, medium and large dogs with the majority of dog breeds. I have experience caring for dogs with joint disease including IVDD, Hip Dysplasia, Arthritis, as well as paralysed dogs and those recovering from surgery. I can help with other animals too including birds, small furries, reptiles and some farm animals including goats, ducks and pigs. I live in your home looking after your pets overnight, replicating their normal routine to ensure they are settled and content. I will need to go out for approx. 4 hours over the lunch periods for dog walks, along with a couple of hours morning and evening for personal errands and short pet visits. But should your pet require more company this may be possible on selected dates for an extra hourly charge. I take good care of peoples properties and I clean up after myself. As well as providing care for your pet, I offer security for your home. I follow the clients instructions to care for their pets, and I can offer quality time in the hours I’m home with the pets giving company, walks, enrichment and play. I include small tasks around the house like putting bins out, collecting post, taking in deliveries, and 5 minutes of plant watering. Should more plant watering be required I can offer this for an additional charge.

“Marie is absolutely fab! She sat for my dog for 3 days and I felt comfortable leaving him (for the second time ever!) as she is so calm and friendly. She knew just how to respond to him and sent me lots of updates where he looked extremely happy and settled ☺️ also took the time to ask about his routine and needs. He was very well cared for while I was gone. I would 100% recommend to others and would absolutely book Marie again. Thanks Marie ☺️”

“Our girls love it when Emily comes round. She is reliable and they enjoy their time with her. Emily has been very flexible when I needed to make a last minute alteration. Thank you”

“Isabelle house sat for us for 10 days and looked after our Sprocker Marley. She did a great job looking after him and the house. She left everything clean and tidy and he clearly had a great time with her. We will definitely book Isabelle again!”

Claire H.

“We were very nervous about leaving our dog Nyx for the first time but after meeting Oliver and seeing how he interacted with her we knew she would be okay with him. Oliver kept us up to date the whole weekend and sent lots of pictures and videos of them playing together. 10/10 would contract Oliver again.”

About: Hello, I'm a very responsible, energetic, and organized person! I love animals, especially dogs, and I'd be happy to help whenever you need it I can help you with any pet. I love caring for animals while the family travels, but I also work with short walks. I have references if you need them, as I've been doing this for over four years, so I have plenty of experience. I had four dogs before moving to England, and this is how I cope with missing them. I'd love to walk them, board them, feed them, or even bathe them if necessary. Your pet will be great with me, and I'll be even better with them. They'll be filled with love, affection, and attention. Please note that prices may vary depending on the size of your pet or if the stay is longer. If you have any special requests, don't hesitate to ask, and I'll always do my best to help. I look forward to hearing from you. With love Mary x I have a very flexible routine, I can give attention to your pet all day and take 2 walks since I already have this walking routine and I love visiting parks I have a good sized, fully enclosed garden. Super safe, grassy and comfortable. I can send photos upon request. but I can also take care of your pet in its own space.

About: I grew up with a dog in the family and enjoyed taking care and spending time with dogs ever since. 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. I work from home so have some time to spend with pets. I can walk the dogs, play with them and feed them according to the schedule desired I live in a house and have a small garden where dogs can spend their time. Plenty of parks to take them for a walk around too
