About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and have over 20 years of experience owning and caring for pets. I currently have a busy multi-pet household of my own, so I’m very comfortable caring for cats and dogs with different personalities, routines and needs. I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, happy and well cared for when you’re away. I’m patient with nervous or shy animals and equally happy with playful, energetic pets. I can provide feeding, fresh water, play and companionship, litter tray care, walks and plenty of attention, while following your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible. I’m also comfortable with multi-pet households the more pets the better and will send regular photos and updates, so you can relax knowing your pets are being properly cared for. I’m currently a third year student mental health nurse and have a fairly flexible schedule. I’m happy to arrange drop in visits and dog walks around my university studies and can often be available mornings, evenings and weekends. Just get in touch and I’ll always try my best to accommodate what you and your pets need. I know how important it is to trust someone coming into your home and looking after your pets. I’ll always follow your instructions and keep their normal routine as much as possible, whether that’s feeding, changing litter trays, walking, playing or simply spending some time keeping them company. I’m also happy to send photos and updates while you’re away so you know everything is okay.

“Vic was absolutely fantastic looking after my dog! From the start, communication was clear and organised and I received regular updates and photos while I was away. I returned home to a happy pup and a spotless house. I couldn't recommend Vic highly enough and will definitely be booking again!”

About: I’ve always grown up with animals. From cats and dogs, to chickens, horses and even some cows. My parents didn’t let us opt out of cleaning up either so there’s not much mess which bothers me. Since I was 16 I’ve been taking care of the local communities pets including puppies and giant (fluffy!) wolf dogs. Any pet, no matter the size or age I’m happy to care for. Now I’m away from home I miss the presence of pets in my life so will be more than happy to take any hours necessary. I’m currently working on my writing, working freelance while I search for a full time job now that I’ve graduated. Very available and flexible ‘z I love going on long walks with my puppies, potentially feeding too many treats (but out of love) and giving lots of cuddles. With cats I am very good at reading their signals, whether they want lots of attention and play or a bit of space, I’m happy to oblige!

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.

“Absolutely amazing service. The first time we didn't have cover for our fur babies and Alicia made us feel so at ease knowing she would look after them as much as we do! 🥰❤️”

About: Pets have always been part of my life. I’m gentle, patient and attentive, and I’ll treat your pet like family, with plenty of love and care. I work from home always, which gives me plenty of flexibility to give your dog attention and companionship throughout the day. I’m available for boarding, walks and visits, including weekends and weekdays. I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual routine as closely as possible. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a secure community garden and two friendly dogs who are used to having dogs and Cats companies. I can keep the pets separated when needed and provide a calm, supervised environment tailored to their individual needs.

“Ciara was awesome!!!! So kind and sweet at our meet and greet. Sent pictures of our pup our entire vacation and was so understanding when work men needed to be at our house while we were away due to a leak from the rain. We super appreciated her flexibility and she left the house looking great & pup feeling loved.”

“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.”

Faye B.

“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.”

Rick S.

“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!”

Tessa P.

“Amazing at looking after Harry whilst we went on holiday, we had regular updates and he was very well cared for”

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 :)

“Deborah and Ed were fantastic left our two fur babies in the knowledge that they would be well cared for came home to a clean house and two very happy doggies would recommend Deborah and Ed to any potential dog parents”

“Bik has been fantastic with my fur babies. They have been spoilt ❤️. They have had Plenty of walks,homemade treats ,cuddles and much more. Bik cared for the dogs in the comfort of there own home which allowed them to sleep in the bed and be in an environment they are familiar with. Cant thank Bik enough for looking after our fur babies and our home.”

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.

“Superb! Thoroughly recommend Melissa. Charlie had a great time and we were able to go out with total confidence. Many Thanks again”
