“Kashia came to visit us before walking my dogs to see them and I thought this was lovely and very kind and thoughtful. Me and my husband were out of the country and knowing she was very thorough made us feel at ease. Every walk we had pictures to look at and a description of how they were and we felt like we knew what they had been up to. Thank you”


About: I have taken care of many dog breeds since I was 14 years old. 2 years ago I got a level 2 qualification in animal care. I have done pet sitting, dog walking, bathing for friends and family. I am currently trying to process animal care into a full time job, so I am available during week days and weekends for your fury tailed dogs I have a fenced yard and I used to have 2 Staffy so the yard is big enough for your dogs to run around and enjoy a ball thrown for them if they enjoy that.

“Emma is lovely to have around for our dogs to be walked. She's caring but firm with them which is what they need. Our 7 year old Staffy was so well behaved for her and walked nice on the lead & Emma brings good energy to the pack ✨️”


“Highly recommend Abbie, Abbie happily met up before the walks to meet Rocky (who is quite nervous) and he had a great time on his walks, Abbie was reliable and communicated well Thank you!”


“I sent a really last minute request for a dog walk for my 2 sheps for the same day due to being let down. Marie & her partner came at the requested time & were happy to oblige. I have a ring doorbell that I can check and my 2 looked so happy to have been on a walk with them both. Will definitely be using in the future. Thank you so much 🙏🏻”

About: Both me and my partner have grown up with dogs all our lives but since our family puppy, Rex, passed away last Christmas we haven’t had the chance to adopt another dog of our own but we miss having a little fur baby around the house. We have 4 young children who both equally love dogs just as much as we do, our eldest loves to play with dogs and loves going to his grandparents to play with their new puppy. I’m fully flexible due to being a stay at home mum and my partner is available some days throughout the week to help out when he’s not working. We live quite close to a big park so we can provide the sufficient amount of exercise your dog requires I’m currently a stay at home mum so rest assured your fur baby will be in great hands and will always have someone around for a cuddle and to give him/her the care they need throughout the day. We have a fully fenced in garden so your little pup will be safe at all times. We also are able to crate train if needed as this is something we’re fully knowledgable about as we used to do this with our own puppy.

About: I've been raised with large breeds of dogs since childhood, from the time they were eight weeks old. I am capable of training puppies and providing dogs with pill-based medications, but not injections. I only work parttime on the weekends, leaving Monday to Fridays completely free for me to petsit and housesit during the week. However on Fridays, I will not be able to watch your pets between the hours of 7pm to 9pm. In a pet owner's home, I am fully capable of being responsible for the animal's needs, and following any specifications provided to me by the pet owner.

About: I’ve looked after dogs all breeds and sizes, for family and friends and had a love for dogs for as long as I can remember. I love dogs more than people and I love to walk so what better way to spend my free time. I have experience with senior dogs as I currently look after my own and my mums dog who have specific daily needs. I am happy to send daily updates and photos on walks and with overnight stays, happy to accommodate all dogs needs to make as comfortable as possible! Just an FYI for boarding - my dog has little man syndrome and can sometimes be funny with male dogs specifically so would need to arrange a meet and greet before taking on any male dogs, thank you! I currently work part time so have plenty of spare time for your pups. Majority of my spare time I walk so your dogs can join me, I am also available for boarding on weekends. I have a large enclosed garden with a grassed area, dogs are allowed on my furniture & I have my own dog to keep yours company. I can easily adapt to your pets needs.

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 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.

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs and they’ve always been a big part of my life!

I pay attention to their individual personalities and needs, ensuring they get the care and love they deserve. Your pet will always feel safe and cared for with me, and I’ll make sure they have a great time while you’re away! I’m currently self-employed, which gives me plenty of flexibility and free time to dedicate to taking care of your dog. With my own schedule, I can offer personalized attention and plenty of love to your furry friend whenever they need it. In my home I have a safe fenced in garden, plenty of dog beds and toys! In your homes I’m happy to learn your routine and what’s important for your pet and stick to that!

Rebecca has also spent a lot of time with my horses, even keeping on top of poo picking the fields, making up feeds and other duties around the yard. Her responsibility and deep love for animals shine through in her care. It's clear that she treats pets with kindness and attention, ensuring their well-being, happiness and all their needs are catered for.
