“Alexandra is such a wonderful person: our cats have felt at ease with her. She's fed, cleaned trays and gave them lots of affection whilst we were on our wedding day. Ifmt was so reassuring knowing that they were well looked after. We absolutely loved reading her update and seeing pics of them at home.”


“My pet sitter was fantastic! She visited once on Friday and twice on Saturday, and everything was perfect. She took great care of my senior dog and my cat, she followed instructions, and kept me updated on the app, I loved getting the photo updates seeing my pets looking content. Super reliable and friendly – I’d definitely recommend her to anyone needing a caring sitter! I’ll definitely book again. Thankyou ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”


“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: 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.

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: 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.

“Nikita looked after my cat over the weekend and did a great job! She followed all my instructions, my house was just as I left it and Marnie was well taken care of- I’ll definitely book her again in future! 💖”


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 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.

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs and they’ve always been a big part of my life! From a young age, I’ve learned how to care for and bond with them, and now I have my own dog who’s like family to me. Taking care of dogs is second nature, whether it's feeding, walking, or just making sure they’re comfortable and happy. I truly love looking after them and nothing makes me happier than seeing a dog wag their tail or snuggle up after a fun day together. I’m great with pets because I genuinely love spending time with them and know how to make them feel comfortable and happy. With plenty of experience under my belt, I’ve worked with all kinds of pets—whether it's walking dogs, playing with cats, or just giving some extra attention to pets that need it. 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!

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 always had a lot of room in my heart for animals. Especially dogs, my little boy is the same he is a massive dog lover! Dog walking is my job. I have a big park near my house and it is a nice walk for both me, sometimes my son and the dogs. I have a large fenced up garden. I can crate your pets if needed. I don't have any dogs living at my home address .

She’s cared for them both at my home and at hers and I can always tell they’re in safe, loving hands.

Rebecca V.Star Sitter
“I highly recommend Rebecca as a pet caregiver, she is my absolute go to when it comes to my precious dog blue. Not only is she amazing with animals but a lovely, respectful young lady. Rebecca has cared for my own dog blue for many years, taking him on exciting walks and looking after him in my own home when we are away. 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. Her dedication and nurturing nature make her an outstanding choice for anyone in need of a reliable pet caregiver. Be assured your animals will fall in love with her!”


Matthew B.
“Matthew looks after and walks my two dogs frequently whilst I’m away or at work. They both absolutely adore him and he is so good with them.
