“This was our first time using a service like this and Ally was great! Really easy going and knows what she's doing, it definitely put us at ease. Brian was well looked after and he was as happy as ever when we arrived back home. Would definitely use Ally again in the future, thank you! X”

“Billie has been fantastic with Koko, super attentive and gentle with him. After a meet and greet, I shared that Koko can be dog-aggressive and will chase after cars if given the chance. Billie has taken it very seriously and I feel totally at ease when she's with him. Koko is noticeably happier after a walk with Billie which is so great to see. As an added note, she's very quick to respond to any messages which really makes the difference. Thank you so much for your walks with Koko, I'd recommend Billie to everyone!”


“Lorna dropped in on our greyhound to give him tea, cuddles and toilet. She came across to lovely in messages before that I knew our boy would be fine with her. She was very punctual and gave a full update with some lovely photos that made us laugh. We would 100% trust her again and I’m sure Kylo will look forward to the next time she comes!”

“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 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 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 regularly look after family dogs, making sure they are well fed, exercised, and cared for in a safe and loving environment. I enjoy spending time with them by taking them on walks, playing games, and giving them plenty of attention and affection. Looking after family dogs has helped me become responsible, patient, and confident in caring for animals. Although I work full time, I always make time to take dogs on walks in the evenings to ensure they get exercise and attention. I enjoy spending quality time with them after work and making sure they feel happy and cared for. On weekends, I especially love going on long walks with dogs and exploring new places outdoors together. My garden is a safe and secure space for dogs to play, relax, and explore freely. It is fully fenced and well-maintained, giving me confidence that dogs are protected while enjoying time outside. I also have a friendly Bedlington Whippet who loves the company of other dogs and helps keep them happy, active, and social during 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 believe every dog deserves not just exercise, but meaningful time outside where they can explore, sniff, play, and simply enjoy being a dog. 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. I have flexible hours and I am able to work around you and your schedule. I can follow the routine you already have in place as my own dog thrives of routine. I believe that dogs need a combination of walks, play and fulfillment as well as plenty of rest.

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: I found. A love for dogs when my sons got their dogs. I then spent three years in Bulgaria and helped at a dog rescue. I personally saved five dogs from the street. They were almost dead from starvation and covered in ticks. All found their forever homes. I have no other commitments and I am happy to look after your pets in your own home. I am honest, trustworthy, police checked, insured and reliable, and would treat your pets as my own. 😊 I have no other job or commitments so completely flexible. I can sit for any length of time and will follow any routines and instructions.

“Kashia made sure my cat and rabbit were well fed and watered and kept litters tidy. She left treats around the house for him to find, and posted regular updates to the app. Reliable service 👍”

About: I have had dogs as pets all my life. I currently have a 4 year old cocker spaniel who is walked 3-6 miles a day. She is fully trained off the lead. Over the last 2 years me and my partner have become pet sitters in our own home for both family and friends. So why not help others out too. I only work 3 days a week, so I am looking to help others out who need assistance with their pets. I work 3 days a week which varies each week. I can change my shift to suit you. My partner also works from home. Daily when I am off work. I walk my dog 3-6 miles in a morning and usually a 1-2 mile walk in the evening. This helps her sleep and eat all her meals. I usually take care of dogs 6-8. times a year for periods between 1 week - 2 weeks. This is looking after family/ friends dogs whilst they’re away. I feel people trust myself with the pets as my dog is well looked after and is always having an adventure.
About: Fully insured, 28 year old professional woman with over 10 years experience working with dogs. Dogs of all shapes, sizes and personalities are welcome. I'm especially good with dogs that are misbehaved, anxious, or cautious of strangers. I spend a lot of time with the animals within my care in order to put them at ease and go at their own pace whilst maintaining their needs. I'm also more than happy to look after any of your more non-typical pets (see below). After a childhood spent around vast numbers of dogs of varying breeds, I'm very familiar with all the different types of personalities. I live in a house with dogs, cats, goats, rabbits, ducks, chickens, rescue-pigeons and pet rats and have vast experience looking after all of these species and am happy to help with your fluffy and unusual pets too. Your pets will be treated with love and care, and you can rest assured they're in very capable hands. Let me know your needs and I'll be more than happy to help out. I am available after 17:30 during the weekdays and fully available during weekends are currently my availability. My availability is set to increase massively once I am able to make this my full-time career. I am happy to meet you prior to your first appointment to discuss the individual needs and requirements of your furry family members. House visits: Food and water refills, cuddles & attention, a leg stretch and perhaps letting them out in the yard (if available). Any messes will be cleaned up and disposed of properly. Walking: Dogs will be kept on lead at all times and walked locally to the owners property. I have experience with nervous and run-away dogs, so please feel at ease that your dog will be looked after responsibly whilst in my care. Any special requirements you have, please let me know.
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.

Fantastic service from Ally! I have never left my cats home alone before but didn't want to put them in a cattery. Ally was great from day one, offering a meet and greet before the booking was made, it really put me at ease that I was leaving not just the pets but our home in safe hands. We got a lovely update each day with lots of photos meaning we could relax and enjoy our time away. Wouldn't hesitate to use Ally again or recommend her to others.
