“Nikita came to meet Sky & Gunner today, she instantly made me feel at ease and explained all the services she offers. This was great as it’s the first time I have had a sitter for them. She took them both for a walk and they came back looking like they had a fab time. I will definitely be booking again for more walks and for a house sit.”


About: I have looked after friends and families dogs/cats and even budgies for many years. I am canine first aid trained. I love meeting new animals and adapting my skills to suit them. I cater for all ages of pets and look forward to meeting many more furry friends. I am respectful to my surroundings at other people’s homes and I like to keep the owners updated during my time with their beloved pet. I work part time and work pet care around this. All my requests are carefully considered to meet the pets needs the best I can. When I house sit at people’s houses, I will always request a meet and greet beforehand. I ask the owner if their pet has any special requirements/triggers/behaviours that I need to keep an eye on. I will ensure the animal is where it needs to be in the house before I leave and always ensure the pet is fed at the correct times and always has fresh water to hand.
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’ve had dogs my whole life, and caring for animals is truly my passion. From training young puppies to looking after older dogs who need extra patience and care, I’m dedicated to making every pet feel safe, happy, and loved. I treat every animal as if they were my own—because they deserve nothing less! I am currently available whenever you need me, your pets are my priority and I will do everything I can to ensure they are looked after and loved for. I do weekdays, weekends, holidays etc. I will adhere to any ground rules you have in place, I will do things exactly how you want them to be done and give your pets all the love and attention they deserve.

About: I have forever loved animals, from worms and ladybugs, to my gerbils and guinea pigs and finally my big pup, Marley, who is a 1 year old staffy/cane corso with a LOT of energy and emotional disregulation! I have always had a big heart for capturing the unconditional bond between humans and creatures and I am excited to meet, get to know and love your pets! I am athletic, creative and love the outdoors, from my hobbies such as bouldering, crochet and camping to my chosen career path in music technology to recently becoming a scout leader. I have the energy and the passion to take great care of your furry friends as well as a flexible schedule that can fit around your pet needs. 🐞🧗♀️💗 I have recently finished college and will be starting university in September, while continuing to live at home which gives me a flexible and stable schedule. I also work a part-time job in retail, mainly Friday-Sunday but my timetable remains flexible around my shifts. During the week, I have plenty of availability for walks, drop-ins, feedings, playtime and general pet-care. I am reliable, organised and able to adapt my schedule when it’s needed. I can also drive, allowing me to be able to travel easily, and be flexible with bookings and timings!! 🚙🐕💗 I have hands-on experience with different types of dogs and personalities. I own a young, adolescent, furry friend called Marley, who is a staffy-cane corso mix, and is very energetic and requires structure, supervision and crate sleeping, so I understand the importance of patience, consistency and managing high-energy dogs safely. I have also worked with much calmer dogs, such as Jack the Whippet - my boyfriend’s dog, who enjoys to lounge about all day and requires a much quieter routine. 🐕⭐️ When caring for pets in an owners home, I always try and keep them comfortable and stick to their usual routine as much as possible. I am happy to follow any instructions owners leave for feeding, walks, crate routines, training or anything else that helps their pet feel settled and happy!! 😊 During walks and drop-ins, I prioritise safety, staying aware of surroundings and making sure pets are comfortable and happy at all times! I understand that every pet is different and I adapt my approach to suit each furry friend’s personality, needs and energy levels!☺️🐈⬛

About: I have grown up around dogs and have owned two dogs in the past, giving me a strong understanding of daily dog care, routines, and responsibilities. In addition, I have regularly looked after family and friends’ dogs while they are away, providing feeding, walking, companionship, and home-based care. Through this experience, I’m comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities and needs, including those who prefer a calmer, more relaxed environment. I understand how important it is for dogs to feel safe, settled, and well cared for when away from their owners. I work full time during the week, so I offer dog sitting at weekends only. This allows me to be fully present and give pets my complete attention without work commitments I provide a calm, caring, and safe home environment for dogs. While I don’t currently own a dog myself, this allows me to give my full attention to any pets staying with me. My home has a secure, fully fenced garden, allowing dogs to enjoy safe outdoor time. I live right next to a park and have access to lots of nearby walking routes, so dogs will receive regular walks, exercise, and mental stimulation suited to their needs. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone new, and I’m happy to provide updates, photos, and reassurance throughout their stay.

About: Hi, I’m a 34-year-old dog lover with a real passion for the outdoors and for seeing dogs truly happy and fulfilled. There’s nothing better to me than fresh air, long walks, and watching a pup’s tail wag with excitement.

I have six months of hands-on experience working with dogs, building confidence in handling different breeds, temperaments, and energy levels. I am also first aid trained, so your dog’s safety and wellbeing are always my top priority. You can feel reassured knowing they are in capable and caring hands. Looking ahead, I’m committed to expanding my professional qualifications. I plan to gain NASDU certifications in General Purpose (GP) and drug detection, as well as continue my studies to become a qualified behaviourist. I’m passionate about understanding dogs on a deeper level and constantly improving my knowledge and skills. Whether your dog loves high-energy adventures or calm, steady walks, I will always tailor our time together to suit their individual needs. My goal is to ensure they feel safe, stimulated, fulfilled, and loved every single time we’re out together. 🐾 I am happy to be available full time 7 days a week.

“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: Hi, I’m Chloe! ☺️ I’ve always had a huge passion for animals, and truly can’t think of anything better than spending my days with dogs! 🐾 I grew up surrounded by pups of all shapes and sizes — from Great Danes and Springer Spaniels to a cheeky little Jack Russell — so I know just how different (and special!) every dog’s personality can be. I live in Milton, Barnsley. This means I am super close to several large parks and miles of gorgeous countryside — the perfect spots for long or short walks, exploring, and getting all that happy energy out. Whether your pooch loves a good game of fetch or a steady countryside stroll, I’ll make sure they have the best time. Any dogs I look after are treated like my own — plenty of love, cuddles, and maybe a few too many treats! You can relax knowing your beloved companion is safe, happy, and being completely spoiled while you’re away. I love nothing more than spoiling your pooch - rest assured your baby will be treat like the prince or princess that they are whilst youre away! I will photograph/video & update everything we get up to so you feel like you are with us the whole time (unless you need a break!) 🐶💛 My prices vary and I am more than open to a discussion about pricing to what suits your needs! I have been walking dogs since I was 11 - My family had a springer spaniel and I used to walk him everywhere - he was so active and so am I - so we worked well! Since this, I have always enjoyed walking pooches. I lived in Leeds for 10 years and had a few regular dogs that I walked and looked after including a Cocker Spaniel, Staffie & Schnauzer. My Availability 🐾 I currently work Monday to Friday from 8:30-4PM - but my weekends are all about the dogs! 🐶💛 From Friday evening through Sunday night, I’m completely free to look after your pups and give them my full attention. Whether they love long countryside walks or just want to curl up on the sofa for snuggles, I’ve got them covered. I’m lucky to have lots of lovely walking routes nearby — perfect for getting some fresh air and tail wags in! And if your dog prefers a more relaxed vibe, they’re always welcome to make themselves at home and chill on the sofa with me. 🐕🛋️ Your dog’s safety and happiness are always my top priorities. I live in a cozy house with a large, secure garden — perfect for safe playtime and fresh air. Being in a rural area means we’re surrounded by peaceful countryside walks and quiet lanes, ideal for relaxed strolls or energetic adventures, depending on your pup’s personality. I take every precaution to make sure your furry friend feels comfortable, cared for, and safe at all times. You can count on regular updates, plenty of photos, and complete peace of mind knowing your dog is in loving, responsible hands. 💛

About: From a family of dog lovers - I am the designated dog sitter! From small to large breeds, I have experience and am very comfortable in caring for all. I currently work flexibly so can be available to care for your loved ones at home whilst I’m working at home - or on weekends for complete devotion! My job is very relaxed so walks and breaks will be a plenty during the day. I have a private and gated garden, based on a quiet cul-de-sac. Dogs are welcome to roam my house and garden freely - a home away from home!
“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: I have hands-on experience caring for a wide range of pets, including dogs, cats, small animals, and puppies. My background in education has taught me to be patient, observant, and highly attentive—qualities that translate directly into excellent pet care. I’m confident handling energetic pets who need active engagement as well as calmer or senior animals who require a gentler, more structured routine. What sets me apart from other sitters is my combination of reliability, genuine affection for animals, and strong communication skills. I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and stimulated while keeping owners updated with regular photos and messages. I’m experienced with basic puppy training, reinforcing positive behaviours, and maintaining consistent routines. I’m also comfortable supporting senior pets with slower-paced walks, medication reminders, and extra care when needed. My goal is always to make your pet’s time with me feel like a second home—safe, fun, and full of love. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I have plenty of availability and genuinely enjoy spending my time with animals. I’m flexible with scheduling and able to accommodate daytime, evening, and weekend bookings, which allows me to adapt to each pet’s needs and routine. Whether it's regular walks, drop-in visits, or longer stays, I’m able to give pets consistent attention, exercise, and companionship throughout the day. I plan my schedule around the pets in my care, making sure they’re never rushed and always get the time, patience, and engagement they deserve. Safety and trust are my top priorities whenever I care for someone’s pet. Whether I’m looking after them in my home or in the owner’s home, I create a calm, structured, and secure environment so pets feel comfortable and owners feel confident. In a pet owner’s home, I follow all routines exactly as instructed—feeding schedules, walk times, house rules, and any special needs. I make sure doors and gates are always properly secured, keep a close eye on the pet’s behaviour, and maintain a clean, tidy environment. I respect the owner’s space and ensure their home is left just as I found it. I also provide regular updates so owners always know how their pet is doing.

I am a qualified dog groomer so happy to offer grooming to your pet too, nail clips, bathing, cuts etc. I have sat a course and passed for dog walking. I have scored high in all my animal care studies I am 23 years old. I will take care of your animal like they are my own. I have 5 horses and 3 cats. I really do have that passion to care for animals. If you have a nervous anxious pet that’s fine I know exactly how to make the pet calm and relaxed. I can do regular updates to owners. I do work full time but my hours are flexible and I can work around any appointments. I will be 100% honest with you if I can’t do it I will tell you or try working around you as much as possible. I have a fenced enclosure, lots of land so plenty of walks I will always walk with 2 leads on your pet as you never know what could happen. I can assure you your pet will be in great care. You tell me what needs to be done and it will be done
