1. Kashia C.

“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”

5. Liam R.
About: Hi, I’m Liam, a passionate and experienced pet carer with a lifetime of love for animals! Growing up surrounded by dogs and cats, I’ve gained hands-on experience with a variety of breeds and temperaments. My mum was a well-respected dog trainer and cattery owner, and I spent years assisting with her business, caring for pets of all ages and personalities. She even showed dogs at Crufts, so I’ve learned from the best when it comes to understanding and catering to different breeds. I currently share my home with Willow, my 13-year-old Staffordshire Bull Terrier, so I have a soft spot for senior pets and understand the extra care and patience they need. Whether your pet is a lively pup needing a good run or a senior companion who enjoys a slow stroll and plenty of affection, I tailor my care to their unique needs. With an Enhanced DBS check for added peace of mind and a flexible schedule due to my part-time work in sports, I’m available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting at times that suit you. I’m a fun-loving and reliable person who genuinely enjoys spending time with animals, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. I’d love the opportunity to meet your furry friend and provide them with the best care possible. Feel free to get in touch—I can’t wait to help! I’m currently working part-time alongside studying for my Masters degree. I’m available weekdays until 2:30pm and have full availability on weekends to look after your pets! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. While I can’t accommodate pets in my own home due to my senior dog’s needs, I ensure they receive the best care in their own familiar environment. • A Trusted & Experienced Carer – With a lifetime of experience handling dogs and cats of all ages and temperaments, I understand how to provide gentle, patient, and attentive care tailored to each pet’s needs. • Security & Reliability – As an Enhanced DBS-checked professional, you can trust me to respect your home, follow all instructions carefully, and ensure your pet stays safe at all times. • A Routine They Know & Love – I aim to minimise disruption by keeping to your pet’s usual schedule, whether that’s regular walks, feeding times, playtime, or medication routines. • Respect for Your Home – I treat every home with the utmost respect, ensuring everything is left just as I found it, and providing regular updates so you have peace of mind while you’re away. • Tailored Care for All Pets – Whether it’s an energetic pup needing long walks, a nervous rescue dog needing reassurance, or a senior pet requiring extra patience and care, I adjust my approach to suit their individual needs. I believe in building trust not just with pets, but with their owners too. You’ll always receive updates, photos, and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is in safe hands. I’d love to meet you and your furry friend—feel free to get in touch!

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 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.

9. Courtney &Bradley M.
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.


10. Savannah C.
About: I’ve always had dogs in my family and had the responsibility of caring for them. More recently I have owned my 1 year old Moose for nearly a year. I regularly look after my friend’s dogs if they go away and I really do care for them like they’re my own. I currently work from home most days allowing me freedom and flexibility to work around your pups. Having a dog of my own already gives me the ability to care and provide for pups whilst working. I have a large secure garden with grass for pups to play. My house is three stories and pups are allowed to venture wherever they wish.
