About: I have adored animals for as long as I can remember. I began volunteering as a cat cuddler and dog pen cleaner at an animal rescue center as a teenager. We always had cats in our home growing up. I worked in a pet store for three years and feel I gained much knowledge and insight in doing so. Unfortunately my partner is allergic to pet hair so we do not have our own pets at our house. To get my animal fix I have been a member of 'borrow my doggy,' where I have regularly walked a number of dogs over the years. I have been trusted to house sit for friends over the years and have cared for dogs, cats and donkeys! I currently work part time so have plenty of availability. I am an avid daily walker so can offer your dog whatever level of exercise they require. As mentioned, I do not board pets in our own home due to my partners allergies. However, I am organized, trustworthy and responsible and have house sat in others homes many times. I will follow your instructions rigidly in regards to the care requirements of your home and pets. House sitting will be done by myself only.

“Chloe looked after our two dogs Otis and Rocco whilst we were on holiday, she was absolutely amazing from start to finish, kept us updated with messages and pictures which was lovely. The dogs were very happy on all pictures and were so well looked after and spoiled! I wouldn’t hesitate to book chloe again and I will be recommending her to anyone I know who needs dog care. Chloe also hoovered, mopped and washed the bedding as she left which certainly wasn’t expected and was very kind of her. Highly recommend. Thanks Chloe!”

“Georgia is amazing, she took great care of our two daschund girls! It was our first time using the Rover app or any dog/house sitting service and Georgia made it nice and easy. She kept us updated with videos and photos of our girls who definitely enjoyed her company. We will definitely be using Georgia again in the future and recommend her to everyone. Thank you!”

About: I always wanted dogs growing up, and have often cared for friends’ pets when needed, and when I moved to Whiston I finally got the chance to have one full time - my ex-partner’s family dog needed to move, and we took him in. As we’re no longer together I don’t have him any more, and I would love to be able to give the care and attention to pets who need a home from home. I’m comfortable administering mediation (the dog mentioned took 4 different tablets, twice a day) and promise to always provide them with as many walks, playtime and treats as they want (treats within moderation obviously)! My work is hybrid so I’m able to be at home a lot, and I would never commit to taking in a pet if there was a chance I couldn’t be at home with them all the time. When working from home I can be flexible to ensure I can match your pets normal routine as closely as possible. They’ll also provide me with the perfect distraction to procrastinate! Although the back garden is unfenced, I would never leave your pet there unsupervised. I do have a fenced and gated front driveway. I would stick to your usual routine as closely as possible - pets are allowed wherever they are comfiest in my house, so they’d have full and complete roam of the house to make sure they found their most comfy spot! I’ll send photos and updates every day to let you know how they’re doing and what we’ve been up to for your peace of mind!

“Angela was wonderful with Diesel, I had lots of updates and she was very understanding of his needs. I will definitely be using her to look after him again.”

About: My names Stacey, I’m 30 years old. I have grown up with cats and dogs all my life. I grew up with living with 12 cats and now I currently have a dog. My love of animals comes from my grandma who was always rescuing them! I look after my brothers cats Dolly and Jolene often and I have dogs I walk/stay with on a regular basis. I can’t wait to meet your furry friends! Animal care is a key part of my daily routine. As I’m currently focusing on building this into my full-time work, I have a flexible schedule and can give pets plenty of time and attention throughout the day. I structure my days around walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins, and I’m available for morning, midday, evening, and overnight care as needed. This allows me to be reliable, responsive, and fully focused on each pet’s needs. I currently provide care in pet owners’ homes, as I’m planning a move in the near future and want to keep things consistent for the pets I look after. When caring for pets in their own home, I stick closely to their usual routines to keep them comfortable and stress-free. This includes feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific care instructions. I make sure they get plenty of attention, companionship, and exercise, while also keeping their environment clean and secure. I treat every home and pet with respect and care, and I’m always happy to provide updates so owners feel reassured while they’re away.

About: Ive had animals in my family since i can remember and I'd say I have experience dealing with any size and age in a dog. I have 3 dogs myself and i've had them since they were puppies i also look after Cats and Dogs for family and friends. Animals play a big part in my life and they're my family. I'd be more than happy to take care of your pets and treat them as my own. Exercise, play, food or just company i'll be there for your pets :) Hi!! My name is Zuzanna i currently work part time but that doesn't stop me from making plenty of time for my fur babies. I have 3 dogs and I love them very much, they are a lot of work (especially my Cockapoo) however i make sure they always get the best care possible and no matter what animal you have I will treat like my own. I have three dogs my self which is why i don't offer boarding, however we have a pretty big garden and a high fence. If i was looking after your pets i would let them outside every hour, make sure they always have water and are fed. I'd also keep up with any training requirements for your dog for example crate training. I will always try my best to meet your standards and follow whatever rules you have as it is your home.

“Yet again, Bik did a great job looking after our boy. Excellent updates through the week, and we came home to a happy dog and looked after home. It really helps put our minds at rest knowing he's been looked after (including getting roast chicken treats!)”

About: I’m passionate about giving dogs more than just a quick walk. I believe exercise, structure and positive social experiences are key to a happy, balanced dog. I’ve cared for dogs for many years and I’m comfortable with all breeds and sizes, especially larger breeds. Whether your dog prefers solo walks, playtime, confidence building or companionship while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel safe, stimulated and well looked after. I have a flexible schedule and dedicate a large part of my week to dog walking, sitting and enrichment activities. I’m available for solo walks, socialisation walks, home visits, daytime care and overnight stays throughout the week and weekends. I enjoy giving dogs structured exercise, mental stimulation and calm companionship rather than just a quick walk around the block. I’m reliable, communicative and happy to work around your dog’s usual routine to keep them comfortable and settled. Your dog’s safety, comfort and wellbeing are always my priority. I provide a calm, structured environment and make sure every dog is supervised as though they were my own. I’m experienced with larger breeds and confident handling dogs with different temperaments and energy levels. I always respect owners’ routines, feeding instructions and walking preferences, and I keep communication open with regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your dog is in safe hands.

About: I’ve grown up with animals and currently have one dog and three cats, so caring for pets is just part of my everyday life. I’m used to the little messes, the different personalities, and the routines that come with them, and I genuinely enjoy it. Being around animals feels natural to me, and I’m patient, attentive, and comfortable handling whatever comes up. I’ll treat your pets with the same care and attention I give my own. I’ve recently graduated from university and am currently based at home, which means I have a very flexible schedule. I’m available throughout most of the week and can dedicate plenty of time and attention to caring for pets, whether that’s regular check-ins, longer stays, or last-minute needs. While I’m not able to board pets in my own home, I’m very happy to care for them in the place they feel safest in your home. I understand how important it is for pets to stay in their usual environment and routine, especially when their owners are away. I can stay in your home to provide consistent care and companionship, or carry out regular check-ins to make sure they’re fed, comfortable, and doing well. I’ll always treat your home and your pets with respect, and make sure you feel updated and reassured while you’re away.

“Viktoria looked after our sausage dog, Mabel, when we went away for 10 days, and I couldn’t thank her enough for how comfortable she made me feel leaving Mabel with her! We received regular updates on how they were getting on, and she even took Mabel for a pup cup at Starbucks! I would highly recommend Viktoria to anyone looking for a dog sitter!⭐️”

“Constance helped with cat sitting over 4 days. She sent me daily updates as requested, and when we returned home, the kitties were happy and well looked after. The home was also kept in a lovely condition too. We appreciate your kindness Constance and we will be booking your services again! 🌟 thank you.”

“Absolutely amazing! Dogs look really well looked after even our grumpy Chihuahua was her friend by the end, house was kept as we left it, I honestly couldn't ask for anything more!”

“Sarah looked after our house and dog for three weeks. Absolutely no concerns at all. Sarah kept us updated and sent us photos of our dog and he was clearly very happy and well looked after. Would definitely recommend Sarah.”

About: I have 7 years of professional experience caring for both pets and homes across the UK and Australia. I’ve looked after dogs, cats, rabbits, chickens, and even the occasional garden! Each sit has been a unique and rewarding experience, and I take great pride in building trust with both animals and their owners. In Australia, I completed multiple long-term house sits, including caring for senior dogs with medical needs, energetic puppies, and shy rescue cats. I understand that every animal has its own personality, and I adapt my care to suit their individual routines, quirks, and comforts. Beyond pet care, I will always keep the home tidy and well maintained, watering plants, collecting post, and ensuring everything is just as you left it. I’m organised, clean, and respectful, and I treat each home as if it were my own. If you’d like to speak with previous hosts, I’d be happy to provide references. A lot of them are Australian and it was on another website which is why I dont have loads of reviews on this site. I truly enjoy what I do, and I know how important it is to leave your pets and home in safe, reliable hands. I really miss having my own pet and being able to spend time with animals is something that makes me so happy! I work from home so my schedule can be quite flexible. I am very adaptive so if your pet has a set routine I can certainly work around their needs so they feel as comfortable as possible! I LOVE CUDDLES! I would like nothing more than to spend as much time as possible with your pet. If they are used to sleeping on the bed, fine by me. If they are quite independent and like to spend their time chilling out. No problem at all, like I say I can adapt to the needs of your pet :)

About: I’ve spent years caring for my three Cocker Spaniels, giving me hands-on experience with a breed that’s energetic, affectionate, and full of personality. From daily walks and grooming to managing routines, training, and lots of playtime, I’m comfortable handling dogs with high energy and big hearts. I know how to keep pups happy, safe, and engaged, and I bring that same level of patience and care to every dog I look after. I’m happy to be available to look after your adorable pets any evening after I finish work as an apprentice at 3pm or on any weekends! Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. With years of hands-on experience caring for my three Cocker Spaniels, I’ve learned how to create a calm, structured, and secure environment for dogs of all personalities. I keep a close eye on routines, body language, and comfort levels to ensure every pup feels safe and understood.

About: I grew up with dogs in our household and for the last 20 years I've had my own dogs but lost my last one, Sanza, a Toy Poodle, in June 2025. I dog sit two Dachshund sisters aged 15 regularly and enjoy it very much. I love dogs and would treat your dogs as if they were my own. Your pet's comfort, happiness and safety is my priority. I have experience of giving medication via injection as my dog was diabetic and had to have insulin injections twice a day as well as oral medication. I also have experience of looking after senior dogs as I have cared for dogs who are 14 and 15 years old. I am available to look after your dogs in my home or at your home so they have as little disruption to their routine as possible. I am retired so I'am at home all day so can look after your pets whenever you need me. I'm very flexible and can adjust my schedule to fit in around your needs. I have an enclosed garden which is fully fenced/ brick wall. The garden is very secure. I live in a semi detached bungalow so there are no stairs to climb. I have lots of toys for your dogs to play with. I am available to look after them in their own home or at my home. I am retired so I am around all the time to look after your dogs. I prefer to look after small dogs but will look after medium sized dogs as long as they walk well on the lead as I walk with a crutch so can't manage to walk large dogs who pull or lunge too strongly when they react to other dogs. I do not look after large dogs for safety reasons.
