About: I was a dog walker for 1 year with a company and have been a kennel hand for 2 years. I have experience with dogs of all breeds and temperaments. The kennel also has a cattery so I have plenty of cat experience too. I’m a dog walker and pet sitter, so I will wake up feed the animal and do any morning routines including walks then do my morning walks while coming back to check on the animal let them out etc. All evening I am free after my last dog walk and I am free weekends with enough notice. I am fully insured and dbs checked with plenty of experience so while I’m pet sitting in your home you can feel comfortable that I am trust worthy.

“Chloe was absolutely amazing, we booked her for 4 days / nights with our staffy. Always on hand if we needed anything and sent regular updates and photos throughout the stay, would 100% recommend”

“What a great lady. Stacey came out to meet Willow a few days before sitting for us, and they instantly bonded. We hadnt used a dog sitter before, but she instantly put us at ease. On the day, she arrived early, and again Willow went straight to her, very happy to see her. Stacey took Willow on numerous walks throughout the day, and sent us loads of photos and updates throughout. We would not hesitate in recommending her for anyone, and will definately use her again the next time we need a sitter.”

“This was our first experience with a outsider dog sitter, Usually use family but was unable to this time. Was a little apprehensive at first, but all was great. Jack was absolutely fantastic with Eva....he stayed at ours to sit Eva for 10 nights. He kept me updated daily on how she was doing and the things she was upto. She grew a very special bond quickly with Jack which was surprising with her being a rescue dog. Usually takes her a while, but within two meet and greets with him she was smitten. She actually seemed rather sad when he left 😔 😔 Jack will always be our go-to dog sitter in the future while Eva is still with us. 10/10 service.......thanks Jack.”

“Viktoria is always diligent, caring, communicative, and most importantly our dogs love her! She always goes the extra mile, she’s thoughtful, clean and tidy when she stays over to house sit, and we’ve had her back many times. We certainly will do again!”

“Ellie was the perfect sitter for our troublesome duo, communication was brilliant & she left the house spotless. The dogs seemed very happy too which is the most important part.”

About: NHS Chemotherapy Nurse | 🌿 Cinnamon Trust Volunteer | Vegetarian🌱 | 🩵 Lifelong Animal Lover * 🐾 Experienced with rescue, elderly, reactive & medical-needs pets | 🏡 Trusted house & pet sitter with references. Hello, I’m Sammie, it’s lovely to meet you and thank you for taking the time to visit my profile! If you ask the people who know me best what I’m most passionate about, the answer will always be the same…animals! For as long as I can remember, animals have been my greatest source of happiness, comfort and purpose. To me, they are family, and I believe every pet deserves to be treated with love, patience, kindness and respect. My experience🐾 I have been around animals all my life. I currently have four indoor rescue cats, all raised from kittens, and two dogs with very different needs. One of my dogs is elderly with arthritis, so I’m experienced in administering medication, adapting walks and monitoring his comfort. My other dog is reactive and anxious, giving me first-hand experience of building trust with nervous dogs through patience, routine and understanding. I’ve also cared for smaller pets including guinea pigs, hamsters and gerbils. As the owner of four indoor cats, I’m especially mindful of keeping doors, windows and escape routes secure, understanding the extra vigilance indoor cats require. Trusted Pet & House Sitter🏡 I’m incredibly proud and grateful that colleagues regularly ask me to care for both their pets and their homes because they know they’ll be safe, loved and well looked after. On multiple occasions, I have pet and house sat for my colleague’s Bullmastiff, Tyga. By the end of his sits, Tyga had formed a wonderful bond with me and had settled beautifully with me in his home, and my colleague fed back that she was delighted with the care I provided for both Tyga and her home. I’m also booked to care for another colleague’s two rescue cats later this year, and references are available. Tailored Care for Every Pet🦮 Every pet is different, and I believe their care should reflect that. I never expect an animal to adapt to me, I adapt to them and their needs. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, enrichment and adventure or simply prefers quiet companionship and affection, I’ll adapt my care to suit their individual personality and routine. As your sitter, it is important for me to understand your pets habits, medical needs, favourite activities and anything else that helps them feel safe, relaxed and happy. Experienced and comfortable with the following: ✔ Medication administration ✔ Elderly pets ✔ Puppies & kittens ✔ Rescue animals ✔ Reactive & anxious dogs ✔ Multiple pets & different routines ✔ Monitoring health and wellbeing I’ll also familiarise myself with your preferred veterinary practice before every booking. 🌿 Cinnamon Trust I’m proud to volunteer with The Cinnamon Trust, supporting elderly and terminally ill people by helping care for the pets they love. It’s a role that reflects my passion for animal welfare and helping others. As a hobby, and whilst I am no professional, I thoroughly enjoy capturing pictures of animals and pets! If your pet is willing to pose (or not!), you are welcome to receive a few professional-looking photos alongside your regular updates! 📸🐾 Trusted home care🧺 My aim is to fit seamlessly into your home without disrupting it, treating it with exactly the same care and respect that I would my own. I’m a non-smoker, non-drinker, DBS checked, extremely clean, tidy and respectful. I’m also happy to water plants, collect post, put bins out and help with general household upkeep. Keeping You Updated and communication📞📷 I’ll happily send regular photos, videos and updates throughout your time away, giving you peace of mind that your pets are happy, settled and receiving lots of love and attention. I’ll care for your pets with the same love, patience and dedication that I give my own, so you can enjoy your time away knowing they’ll be safe, happy and genuinely cared for. I’m an NHS chemotherapy nurse working part-time, primarily on Mondays and Fridays from 8am to 6pm. Working part-time gives me the flexibility to provide reliable, attentive and personalised care around my shifts. I carefully manage my diary and only accept bookings when I know I can dedicate the time, care and attention your pet deserves. When caring for your pet, their routine becomes my priority. Whether that’s early morning walks, administering medication, feeding schedules, enrichment, playtime or simply providing companionship, I understand how important consistency is for animals and will always do my best to maintain their normal routine, helping them feel settled, happy and secure while you’re away. As every pet has different needs, I’m always happy to discuss my availability before confirming a booking. While I primarily work Mondays and Fridays, if your pet is comfortable being left for a few hours during those times, I’m more than happy to discuss this on an individual basis. Equally, if your pet requires more constant companionship, we can explore dates that better suit both their needs and my availability. Transparency is very important to me, and I’ll always be honest about my schedule so you can make the best decision for your pet with complete confidence. Weekends, bank holidays and school holidays are also open and free for me to book! Your pet’s safety, happiness and wellbeing will always be my number one priority. Before every booking, I’m happy to arrange a meet-and-greet so I can get to know you, your pets, their routines and any specific needs or preferences. As an NHS nurse, I’m DBS checked, organised, calm under pressure and experienced in recognising subtle changes in wellbeing. I’m comfortable caring for elderly pets, rescue animals, nervous or reactive dogs, administering medication and following detailed care instructions. I’ll familiarise myself with your preferred veterinary practice and emergency contacts before every stay, so I can respond quickly should anything unexpected arise. I treat every home with the utmost respect, leaving it exactly as I found it, and I’m happy to water plants, collect post, put bins out and help with general household upkeep while you’re away. My aim is to provide complete peace of mind, knowing both your beloved pets and your home are in safe, caring and trustworthy hands. Having four indoor rescue cats of my own, I’m acutely aware of the importance of keeping indoor cats safe within their home environment. I’m extremely conscientious about ensuring doors, windows and any other potential escape points are secure before entering or leaving the property. I understand that this level of vigilance provides invaluable peace of mind for owners, and it’s a standard of care I naturally practise every day with my own pets.

About: DBS checked & full clean driving license!
Growing up with German Shepherds, Golden Retrievers, and Labradors, I’ve spent my life understanding the needs of larger breeds. Having recently moved from Ireland to the UK, I’m currently without a dog of my own, so I am eager to provide high-quality care and companionship to yours! My experience is extensive, including raising two rescue dogs and sitting for various breeds, from high-energy Collies to powerful Rottweilers. I am very comfortable with nervous temperaments and am fully capable of following strict medical routines if required.
Alongside doggies, I have extensive experience with cats & smaller animals too ~ no spiders though, sorry🙈
Daily Routine & Exercise

Home Environment & Safety
I have a shy indoor cat, so currently not taking home boardings. I am a car owner with a clean license, so I am always prepared for emergencies or urgent vet visits. Safety is my top priority; I stick to leash-only walks in public (off lead experienced too, if your pet prefers) and I can help with training too if needed.
Trust & Communication
I am "always on my phone" and love taking photos, so you can expect regular photo and video updates throughout the day. I want you to feel completely at ease knowing your best friend is having a great time!

About: I've taken care of dogs of all kinds since I was about 8 years old. Growing up on a working farm, we always had much loved pets. Friends and family have relied on me to house sit while looking after their pets, taking them on long walks, playing with them, and feeding them. I’m experienced with handling multiple animals, including special needs senior doggies and high energy puppies of all sizes. I love all animals, and adore dogs especially. Pet sitting is a happy medium for me as I cannot have pets in my current rented accommodation. I'm currently working part time remotely, so I will have plenty of time to take your dog on long walks (or runs for those energetic pups) and play with it. I'm available for boarding throughout the week. I will be very happy to take your dog on plenty of walks and/or just be the best cuddle buddy. I will provide all the care, attention, and love to your beloved pet as if it was my own.

“Just to say thank you Oliver for what you’ve done today. Much appreciated. ??????”

“Nichole arrived on time, spent time familiarising herself with Nell & Arlo’s routine and our home layout. We went on a short walk to allow the dogs to bond with Nichole and to assist with knowledge of dog walks in our area. The appointment was great to cover any queries. Feel totally confident our dogs are in good hands with Nichole. Nichole is very friendly and approachable, soon becomes apparent she loves what she does and cares for all animals.”

About: I’ve been lucky enough to spend my life surrounded by animals of all shapes and sizes – from playful pups and cuddly cats to tropical fish, and even bees! 🐝 Animals have always been a huge part of my world, and caring for them comes naturally to me. I have hands-on experience looking after dogs, cats, and fish. I’ve also trained my own dogs, which means I understand how important patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement are. Whether it’s a puppy learning the ropes, or an older dog who needs a gentler pace, I adapt to each animal’s unique needs. With bees, I’ve learned the importance of calm handling, respect, and attentiveness – skills I bring to all the pets I care for. Safety, trust, and making sure your pet feels comfortable are always my top priorities. Your furry (or finned!) family member will be cared for as if they were my own – with love, attention, and plenty of fun. A Day in My Care 🐾 • Morning Walks (7am – 9am): A refreshing start to the day with plenty of exercise, sniffing, and tail wags. Perfect for dogs who like to burn off energy first thing. Session length can be discussed. • Midday Visits (11am – 2pm): Feeding, toilet breaks, playtime, or a calm walk — tailored to your pet’s routine. • Afternoon Adventures (3pm – 5pm): Shorter walks as welcome as the longer ones, or quieter sessions in the garden depending on your dog’s needs. • Evening Check-Ins (6pm – 8pm): Dinner, toilet breaks, and some quiet companionship to wind down. Your pet’s safety and happiness always come first. I understand how much trust it takes to let someone else care for your furry family member, and I take that responsibility seriously. • Safety: I keep walks controlled, calm, and enjoyable. I only use secure leads and harnesses, avoid unsafe areas, and always pay attention to your dog’s comfort and limits. It’s always good to get to know your dog beforehand so let me know what they’re like both inside and outside, any behavioural quirks or anything else you might think useful. • Trust: Animals respond best when they feel safe and respected. I will take time to get to know your pet’s personality so they can relax and enjoy themselves while you’re away. • Environment: I adapt to your pet’s routine and surroundings to reduce stress and keep things familiar. Walks can be energetic adventures or calm strolls, depending on what your dog needs. You can feel confident knowing your pet will be cared for with patience, consistency, and kindness — as if they were my own.
