“Very happy with the care my two cats got when they stayed with Alexandra. Both were happy and content when I picked them up, I do think they enjoyed the 'holiday' :) Definitely recommend Alexandra and im sure the cats will be boarding with her again.”


“Billie has been amazing looking after my cat. She has a clear love for animals and makes sure she does everything needed to make sure furry family members are well looked after. Highly recommend.”


“Great service from start to finish had a very happy cat when I got home will definitely use kashia again when going away anywhere made my life much simpler and my cat less stressed with going to a cattery thanks for everything ?”


“Thank you Courtney for the drop-in check on our dogs.. We don't normally have to rely on anyone else for the welfare of our furry friends but we were all out together on Sunday so it was really helpful to have someone to pop in and see them. Courtney was professional and was not phased by the quirks of our dogs. From the photograph update we received it was obvious she knows dogs and the dogs responded really well to her. We will definitely be using her services again it is such a relief to have someone at hand you can rely on 🥰”


About: I have a little pet care experience, watching over my friends cats Nelson and Dorito for a couple times. My family also had a German shepherd I used to look after. Fury friends always make me smile whenever I see them on the walk, and I dream about the day we’re going to welcome a dog to our home as well. I’m currently taking some time off work, so available most of the time during week and weekends as well, so gladly spend some quality time looking after your loved ones. I don’t have any pets, but your dog is going to be very loved by my family who adore pets as much as I do, if you need an over night stay.

About: I grew up with dogs, so caring for them has always been a natural part of my life. I regularly look after the dogs of my friends and family whenever they need help, making sure each dog feels safe, loved, and well cared for. Taking care of animals fits perfectly into my routine because I work from home. This gives me the flexibility to adjust my schedule and make sure the animals get the attention, care, and time they need throughout the day. When caring for cats, I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment. I make sure they feel secure and respected, allowing them to build trust at their own pace. I also create a peaceful and comfortable space where they can relax and feel at home.

“Looked after my Mishmish at very short notice and were absolute lifesavers! Mishmish stayed with Courtney and Bradley for a month and I felt so much better knowing that he was given lots of love and cuddles.”


“Marie and her partner did an amazing job coming round our house and looking after our 3 cats whilst we were away on holiday. One of our cats is very skittish around new people and even she was comfortable around Marie which means a lot! Marie played with our cats every visit, emptied litter trays, made sure they were fed, and gave them lots of dreamies too! I could not recommend Marie enough!”

She kept me updated with how they was both doing. Thank you so much - I wouldn’t hesitate to use you again and would 100% recommend you.”


About: Having had pets my whole life including dogs, cats and small animals, I understand how important they are to the whole family. I’ve looked after pets for family, friends and neighbours including house visits, walks and weekend care. I have also taken care of reactive dogs and assisted in training where guidelines had been put in place so I understand that each animal has different requirements. I am currently self employed with my own business so I can work around your pet’s schedule and work it into my flexible schedule, making sure they’re cared for when they need it. I will work with your pets to ensure they feel comfortable around me in their own home, I understand not every animal is comfortable with strangers immediately and am happy to give them time and space to warm up to me. I will follow any care instructions given to ensure your pets trust and safety.

About: I am dog crazy and have always had a family dog. When I moved into my own house, I got my own little Joey as soon as I could. He is my baby :) I considered dog boarding because I did want to get another puppy so that Joey would have a companion, but I think this would also ensure that he had company. Whilst also letting me look after lots of different dogs :) I work in a school, so I am about to break up for the 6 week holidays. My availability is quite open at that point. When I am working, it would be evening walks/drop ins or boarding over the weekend. I have a fenced garden that your furry family member can play in. I also have Joey for them to play with, he is a sprocker and loves his walks in the woods. Any dogs staying will have access to the whole ground floor and garden. They are also allowed on the furniture for evening cuddles. I usually walk my dog at least twice a day, and we tend to go through the local fields and woodlands. Any dogs boarding would be joining us on those days walks if they are physically able to.

About: I’ve always loved dogs, been around dogs and had dogs since I was young. Since COVID, I work from home full time and have looked after many dogs while I have been doing this including walking & boarding the dogs for up to two weeks at a time and I love it. Also, I have a little bit of experience with training as I have attended Kennel Club training classes with my own dog, Wilf. I also have a canine first aid qualification. I currently work from home 3 days a week, Monday, Tuesday and Friday. I also have every other Friday off work and the job I have is of low intensity & stress so I will have time to tend to the needs of your dog. Even with working full time when I am dog sitting I can still manage to get out for a good walk up to 4 times per day depending on how active the dog is. I am a very loving person who has always loved dogs and caring for them. In my home, they are allowed on furniture & do not need to be put in a crate, unless requested by you. I do not have a garden at the minute but I am only a 2 minute walk from parks and other good dog walks that are secure for dogs to be let off if they are good off lead.

About: I have taken care of my own pets growing up all my life and I have always taken perfect care of them. My friends and family always rely on me to take perfect care of their animals I currently work from home so if close by on breaks before and after work I can take dogs for a walk.
