About: I've worked with a number of different animals, mostly cats and dogs, but have experience with small mammals, birds and lizards as well. I do have my own pets which has helped with learning when to look out for a change in health and body language. I can administer any medication if necessary, with direction from the owner, and can provide entertainment and nourishment for each and every animal. I like to keep a clean environment as much as I can, so any messes or incidents I can clean up fine with no issue. I usually have a very flexible schedule, so can work around your day to day plans. I can do short or long term stays, the shortest I've stayed is 1 day and the longest I've done is 2 weeks. I always put the animals needs above all else, their health is my top priority. I can follow instructions and directions from the owner if there any "do's" or "don'ts" they have for their pets. I like to be clear in my communication with any owner and update them whenever I can, so if any problems occur, I will be quick to inform them.

“Very kind and professional. She took good care of my dog.Will use again”


About: Hi, I’m Ellie-May, I’m available on weekdays and weekends in the daytime for dog walking and doggy day care. I am also available for animal boarding whenever needed. I really love spending time with dogs and cats and have experience in taking care of them. I have a chihuahua and a cat currently and have had experience with dogs and cats all my life. I have experience with small, medium and large breeds. Young, adults and senior. I’ve got children at home so I need animals that are good with kids and have good temperments. I’ve got a massive garden that the dogs can use and will keep them entertained with effection and exercise and will treat each and every animal like i would my own. I take my son and pup to the park every day so would bring your pup along with your permission. I have a massive garden which is secured and plenty of room to run around. 🏐🥏 Each pet will be welcomed with clean bed, bowls and toys to play with while they are in my care. If pup is crate trained please let me know so I can provide a cage. ✨️ Each pet will also be sent home with a goodie bag and pictures of their stay ( with your permission of course). 🙂 I will be looking forward to meeting you all 👋 I'm currently not work as I'm on maternity raising my son. I'm home most of the time and go on daily walks so would be ideal for your little ones. I have a lot of time to take care of your animals like my own. I have a massive garden that's all fenced off and a friendly dog and cat that can keep your animals company. I can crate your dog at bed time if needed but will free roam in the day. I can take your dogs on walks round the neighbourhood, park or forest and give them all the attention they deserve.

“Lauren did a great job looking after our cat. She provided daily updates and pictures, plus anything she thought might be an issue, which was really reassuring. Plus she kept the cats food area really clean and tidy, and even emptied our bins. Lauren established an instant bond with our cat and he was the most relaxed we have seen him after a holiday.”


About: I’m a caring and reliable pet sitter who treats every animal like my own. I’m attentive to their unique needs, gentle with medication if needed, and always keep owners updated with photos and messages. When caring for pets in their own home, I treat their space with the utmost respect and make sure to follow their usual routines closely. I arrive on time and make sure to provide a calm, safe environment where the pet feels comfortable and secure. I feed them according to the owner’s instructions, give any medications needed, and spend quality time playing, walking, or just relaxing with them. I’m careful to maintain the home’s cleanliness, and I’m happy to help with small tasks like bringing in mail or watering plants to make the owner’s return as smooth as possible. I also keep the owner updated regularly with photos and messages, so they know their pet is in good hands and happy I follow the pet’s usual routine carefully, including feeding and medication. I provide a calm, safe environment and spend quality time with them through play or walks. I respect the home, keep it tidy, and send regular updates so owners feel reassured.

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life — I grew up with dogs and cats, & I now share my gorgeous dog Madison with my ex, & so only have her 50% of the time. She's truly the love of my life, & so I know first hand just how much a pet means to their owner. When Madison isn’t with me, I really miss the companionship, which is why I’d love to spend time with other pets on my Madison-free days. I also occasionally look after my mum’s dogs (2 x cockapoos) and cats (2 x ragdolls), so I’m used to a variety of personalities, temperaments, and needs. Whether your pet is full of energy or prefers a gentler pace, you can trust that I’ll care for them with the same love, attention, and respect I give to Madison — as if they were my own. I work full time, but I work from home 4 days a week. I typically go into the office on a Thursday & have Madison Thursday evening-Sunday morning (although this can vary based on plans/holidays). I'm not yet in a position where I can board/daycare at my home whilst I have Madison, as she can be a bit scared of dogs she doesn’t know, but I should usually be able to offer drop in sessions at your home, or walks on those days. I have a one bedroom ground floor apartment, with a spacious living room. There isn't a private garden, but there are communal gardens just outside, and a big park three minutes away which is where I typically take Madison for walks. I have dog beds, plenty of dog toys, dog stairs to access the sofa (for any who struggle with jumping due to IVDD/back issues) and feeding bowls. Madison is not crate trained, and so I don't own a crate, but can of course use yours whilst here if needed. Pets are welcome on sofas/beds should this be something you're happy with. I know how important it is to feel confident leaving your pet in someone else's care, so I treat every animal with the same love, attention, and respect I give my own.

About: As long as I can remember I've had dogs in my life, whether it's been my own or family and friends dogs. I can't imagine life without the fur babies to look after and take for walks. After 10 years of child care work I became a self employed paint and decorator, however there are the odd days/week where I'm free, so I would love to spend my time looking after dogs I have a long fenced off garden with 2 small friendly dogs that love to make friends. I also have a large crate bed if needed.

About: I’ve had roughly 9 years of experience with dogs, my own and family friends. I have given medication orally and with food, I have gone on daily walks. I can play and try to tire them out before they tire me out. I also am getting some experience in training as I am trying to train my own dog tricks currently. I am currently taking a gap year so my schedule right now is free most weeks and days. I do want to focus on pet care and cat sitting if possible so I can provide the best services. I can crate cats pretty well by bribing with treats and I would do the safe for dogs. I can keep eating areas, drinking areas clean and tidy. Refill it when needed, as well as many toilet breaks needed for animals. I can clean litters for cats and play with both cats and dogs.

About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 12 - whether it was my neighbors or my friends. Until my parents decided to buy me 2 of my own puppies! I treat every dog like family, providing one-on-one care tailored to their needs. I can help reinforce basic commands, crate training, and good leash manners. I love senior dogs and the more cuddles the better! Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or just extra cuddles, I ensure they get the attention they need. I will always keep you updated with pictures and messages. Your dog’s happiness and well-being are my top priorities! I currently work flexible hours as I am currently a Senior Manager at a leisure centre which also allows me to work from home on most days. I am completely free on weekends. I have a fenced yard and sometimes my 2 fur babies will come over with my parents. I can also easily crate your dog if needed and my house currently have inside cameras in which you can access whilst I am looking after your pets.

About: I often dog/house sit for family members for up to a week at a time, and a dog owner myself! I feed, bathe, walk and love them as my own! I am available weekends until June then my availability is 24/7 with notice. Please reach out for your animal care needs! I would love to help! I provide the best care whether in my own home or your home. Ensuring the environment is kept clean and safe for your pet, and that they are fed, walked and engaged in play as often as required. Of course giving them lots of love should that be what they desire!

Shelby M.
“Shelby regularly comes and stays at my home whilst I'm away, and has done for over 2 years. She looks after my animals (including chickens and cats) and my home, which can be a challenging space as it's a converted bus, so requires extra attention (it's very hot in the summer and very cold in the winter). I trust her, and am always delighted to come home and find the space clean and welcoming, and the animals very well cared for- they're always so pleased to see her when she arrives, and are calm and relaxed when I get home. She goes the extra mile, always doing more than I've asked for, and the animals enjoy her company so much that I feel like she's a co-parent! She is a prompt communicator, enthusiastic, flexible, and has good boundaries and is able to say no when she can't do something. She also now pet+ house sits for several other members of my family. Shelby is an absolute dream, and I would highly recommend her as a pet and house sitter.”
