“Chelsea is super proactive, always on time and takes lovely photos of my dog on his walks, we use her every week she’s a diamond! Highly recommended her services☺️”

About: I grew up with a big, silly Irish Red Setter who was truly part of the family. He set the bar for how fun, gentle and full of personality dogs can be and we still laugh about his antics today. In recent years I’ve looked after friends’ and family’s dogs while they’ve been away, making sure they’re fed, walked, played with and properly cared for. I absolutely love going on long walks, so having a four-legged pal to join me is always a joy. I’m a naturally caring person and I’ll make sure your dog feels safe, happy and like they’re having their own little holiday too.

About: Over 10 years of experience caring for animals and have had cats for most of my life. I currently have two cats of my own and previously had three, so I completely understand how important pets are as part of the family. I’m regularly recommended by family members to help care for their cats, including feeding, setting up automatic feeders, cleaning litter trays, and giving them plenty of love and attention. I’m experienced with cats of all ages, from playful kittens to elderly cats who need extra patience and care. I’m confident handling day-to-day pet care, administering lots of cuddles, and even dealing with the occasional mouse or bird adventure! I genuinely love animals and always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. Pet care fits easily into my routine alongside my full-time job, as I work flexible shifts. Some days I finish early at 3:30pm, while later shifts start at 1:30pm, giving me availability before or after work. I also have regular days off and one weekend off each month, allowing extra flexibility for pet care. I care for pets by making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while keeping to their usual routine. My two boy cats are fed twice a day and always get a treat before bed. They are outdoor cats, and we keep a window open year-round for them. When caring for pets in an owner’s home, I will always follow their instructions carefully to ensure their fur babies stay happy, safe, and well cared for.
“Cherry took to Josh straight away and I knew they would make a good team. All went to plan for the walk with no problem. Josh knows dogs well so we were confident leaving Cherry with him and will book him again next time we need some cover.”

About: Hello everyone, I've always had a great love for dogs since a child . I have a lot of experience and I am confident with all breeds and sizes . They really are a joy to be around . Please note when your dog is in my care they are treated like family. Lots of cuddles, kisses and good conversation hehe! They really do understand what are saying to them . Not to worry if your fur baby is on medication I am more than capable and comfortable with giving medicine, needles , if your dog has diabetes and checking their sugar levels to. I am here to make you feel at ease while you are away from them . A good long walk, play time and stimulating their brain with treats of course makes a very happy dog 🐕 I'm working from home so I'm available 24/7. Walking and playing can happen around the clock. They will not be left alone. They will be happy I live in a flat, there are so much parks at my finger tips to take them out for walk, run and play and fresh air.
“Jess is sensational! She always goes above and beyond to help with my boy and my mishaps (taking the key to work with me!) Oggy is obsessed with Jess and adores his time with her. Couldn't recommend Jess enough for any pet services. Thanks Jess :)”

About: I have loved and cared for dogs my entire life. I grew up rescuing stray dogs and giving them a safe place, food and love. Over the years I have cared for many different breeds, from small playful dogs to large strong ones. I am calm, patient and attentive to every dog’s personality and needs. For me dogs are not just pets – they are family. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I enjoy spending time with animals and being active outdoors. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to dedicate proper time and attention to each pet I care for. I am available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings when needed. When I look after a pet, I make sure they receive enough exercise, attention, and companionship. I never rush walks and always adapt the time and activity to the dog’s needs and energy level. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my priority. I treat every dog as if it were my own. I always make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and properly supervised at all times. I pay close attention to their behavior, routines, and any instructions given by the owner so they feel secure and relaxed. Even though I live in an apartment, I make sure dogs receive plenty of outdoor time, exercise, and fresh air through regular walks and visits to nearby parks. I keep a calm and clean environment and always focus on building trust with both pets and their owners.
“Lewis gives us complete peace of mind. He's reliable, trustworthy, and keeps us informed with detailed walks updates. Our dog is always happy to see him, which is the best endorsement we could ask for. We'll be booking Lewis again without doubt. Thank you, Lewis!”

“Emma was fantastic! We had to change days around and Emma was very receptive and adaptable to our requests as well as providing excellent communication all round. Emma gave great feedback and photos from the walk and we will continue to use Emma!”

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs and cats all my life and have cared for them for over 30 years. I’ve shared my home with German Shepherds, beagles and cats, and truly understand how much love and attention they need — especially when you’re away. I’m a certified Small Animal Hydrotherapist, currently studying L6 Veterinary Physiotherapy. I’ve also completed animal first aid, behaviour, and nutrition training. I’m DBS checked and committed to offering safe, loving care for your pets in their familiar environment. I’m currently working part-time and studying veterinary physiotherapy, which means I have a flexible schedule to provide dedicated care. I’m available most weekdays and weekends for pet sitting and visits in RG22 and nearby areas. I’m DBS-checked, fully and trained in pet first aid. I never wear branded clothing or drive marked vehicles, so I won’t draw attention to your empty home. Your pet’s wellbeing, routine and comfort are always my top priority — whether that’s keeping their litter tray sparkling clean or giving them enrichment and puzzle time.
About: My family have taken care of all kind of dogs when I was kid. I was growing up with my grandparents’s dog and I love them! I am full time and remotely working from home. So I can look after the dog for whole day in my house. I walk my dog twice a day. And we like to take dog out for about 2hours walk during weekend. I have fenced garden and friendly chowchow who likes to play. I would like to play with the dog and walk the dog twice or three times a day.
“Charlotte was really lovely and professional and took her time getting to know my dog who although friendly is a rescue who's only been with us a few months so it was really appreciated how she wanted to get to know all about him and was super patient with him 🙂 We've already booked his next walk with Charlotte 🙂”

Nicole was absolutely wonderful with our two border collies — they loved her right away! She was diligent, punctual, and completely dependable. Nicole went above and beyond by keeping us informed about how the dogs were doing each day, especially when one of them wasn’t feeling their best. It was such a comfort knowing our pups were in such caring and capable hands. Highly recommend! Nicole was absolutely wonderful with our two border collies — they loved her right away!

Crystal clearly loves dogs and our Chihuahua who’s not overly friendly with strangers gave her a seal of approval! Crystal doesn’t mind long walks and loves being out in the countryside. Our two came back happy and tired after their walk. Have booked her for another walk and also some housesitting.
