Thank you David!”

About: Since my childhood, we have always had a pack of dogs and other animals in our family home. I qualified as a veterinary nurse in my youth and have since always had a dog to enjoy life with. I am able to see when trouble is brewing and love them to have a great day so they are relaxed and have nice dreams when they sleep. I have a school run to do at both ends of the day but am generally home and longest I leave my own dog is about 2 hours to pick up shopping. Before going out, I take care of my dog by taking him for his routine walk. On my return we generally go somewhere fun to walk like the woods or play hide the treat in the garden or house, play ball etc. I have things to do in the garden so any dogs would be outside with me as much or as little as they want. My own dog would love to play all day with any visiting dog if they are up for it. I have a fenced /sectioned garden for the dogs to roam around in. Both my home and garden make it easy to separate any dog if things get a little crazy, until they calm down. I also have a large crate available if required. They would have access to water at all times and have both shade and sun (if its out). As long as they are toiket trained, they will have access to all of downstairs including couches and sleep arrangements will be agreed with the owner of the furry visitor.

About: I have grown up with dogs and cats because of my mom being a pet groomer, therefore I have always been surrounded by animals! From a Cane-Corso to a Yorkshire Terrier or even rescues, I can adapt to your pets needs and I am a strong walker. I can feed, train, give medicine and most of all, lots of cuddles! We have three rescue Shar-Peis at home, Glasha, Roofus and Archie and I love them dearly. I am available! I graduated from the University of Brighton in August, recently moved house and I am looking for what’s next. I enjoy figuring out pet personalities because they can be quite funny. I really miss my dogs back home so would be nice to care for and accompany your pets. We have a fenced back yard, but poos and wees will 100% be out on walks. There are so many local fields and parks here and I cannot wait to show them all the p-mail spots they haven’t sniffed out yet!

About: We have had our own dog for many years but lost our last boy recently. We now help with other family members dogs. We know the stress of going on holiday and leaving your pet and I can assure you that we will look after them as if they were out own. My wife and I are both retired so we have 24 hours a day to devote to a dogs care with plenty of walks and love. We are located in a quiet Cul de Sac. Our large back garden is completely enclosed and we are next to Bedford Marina or over at Chicksands woods for lovely walks.

“Sam looked after my lab, my daughter’s frenchie and her cat this weekend. I’m so pleased to have found him as he is so nice, professional and obviously loves animals. Ours had a great stay with Sam and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him. Will definitely be booking them in again when we go away.”


“Just the best, Qoo Chan was really happy at Daniel’s home with his two dogs. Couldn’t recommend more. Really good communication throughout and Qoo was well looked after with lots of walks.”


About: I am passionate about animals and I have a wealth of experience owning and caring for many different animals. This includes; horses, dogs (puppies, big medium and small dogs), cats (kittens, rescued and domestic), rabbits, hamsters, guniea pigs, tortoise and poultry. I would treat every pet like it’s my own, and I can provide regular updates including photos whilst the pet is in my care. My house is a clean, safe and peaceful environment where your pet would be loved and pampered! I can choose to work from home so I would ensure that my work commitments are tailored to the needs of the pet that was in my care. I need at least one weeks notice to enable me to arrange my schedule please. I have a fenced garden which is safe for animals. My house is clean and safe with no dangerous items. I keep cleaning products and sharp items safely stored away where animals can’t get them. I am trustworthy, reliable and honest. I feel strongly about animal welfare and always seek to provide the highest standard of care.

“Henry had a lovely day and overnight stay with Karolina. From moment we met and I dropped him off I could tell he would be happy and safe and well looked after. Karolina took him out for walks and sent me pictures and videos of his adventures. He got on really well with Karolina's dog Kimchee and loved pottering in the garden. He ate his food and wagged his tail so I know he was a happy boy and he is looking forward to his next stay.”


“Thank you Nicola and family for giving Penny the love and attention she craves. She obviously enjoyed the extra strokes and cuddles she got from her new friends. We would be more than happy for Nicola to Pennysit in the future and happily recommend her to others.”


About: With years of hands-on experience caring for dogs & puppies. I provide dependable, loving care tailored to each pet’s unique personality and needs. Whether it’s energetic puppy playtime, gentle attention for senior pets, or administering medication, I make sure every animal in my care feels safe, happy, and loved. I treat every pet as if they were my own—earning trust, building routines, and making sure their days are filled with comfort, companionship, and care. Pet care is my full-time focus, which means your pet will get consistent, dedicated attention throughout the day. Since I don’t work outside the home, I’m available for flexible scheduling, last-minute bookings, and extended stays. I’m home the majority of the day, so your pet will never be left alone for long periods—and will always have someone nearby for cuddles, potty breaks, playtime, or just comforting company. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, their safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where dogs can relax, play, and feel at home. I follow each pet’s routine closely—from feeding and walks to medication and bedtime—to ensure a smooth, stress-free experience. I take the time to build trust with both pets and their owners, offering regular updates, photos, and open communication so you can feel confident while you’re away.

Lynn B.
“Over that last few years, Lynn has looked after our dog on many occasions, anything from a few hours to a couple of weeks. Lynn's experience of being a dog owner of many years means that she is both knowledgeable and caring when looking after not only her own dog, but ours too. Whenever we pull up into Lynn's driveway, our dog is always desperate to get out of the car and into her house to say hello - a sure sign that he enjoys and is happy being with Lynn. On one occasion, Lynn even took our dog away on holiday with her, so that we were able to go away on holiday ourselves when we couldn't take our dog with us! Any dog staying with Lynn will be in safe hands.”


Stephanie W.
“Not only have I worked alongside Steph but she has also worked for me in taking care of my beautiful spaniel whilst I was away for a couple of weeks when I was unable to take him with me. Steph was consistent and reassuring with her updates Everytime I messaged. She is extremely trustworthy and I never doubted her compassion as she has worked with animals mostly all throughout her life. Would recommend steph to anyone who needs someone to look after their furbaby. I wouldn’t feel the need to ask anyone else unless she wasn’t available. Despite my boy being happy to see me when I was back, I think he misses steph a lot too. 10/10.”


Jim G.
“Good morning, Thank you for asking for a testimonial for Jim. I can’t recommend him highly enough as a dog sitter. He has an incredible way with dogs – calm, caring, and completely devoted to their well-being. Over the years, Jim has looked after many dogs from his extended family while they have been away on holiday, and every single one has been cared for with the kind of love and attention you'd expect from a devoted owner. What truly sets him apart is the way he always puts the dogs first. I’ve known him to sleep downstairs just to be close to a dog who wasn’t feeling well, ensuring they’re comforted and monitored throughout the night. Jim’s wife, Lynne, is equally dog-loving and fully supportive of everything he does. Together, they create a warm and nurturing environment where any dog would feel safe, loved, and right at home. Anyone who entrusts their dog to Jim can do so with complete confidence. The pets won’t just be looked after – they will be cherished as one of the family.”

Jennifer B.
“Jenny looked after my cockapoo and I couldn’t have left her in safer hands! Jenny was openly communicative sending me photos of how my dog was doing, took her for so many walks and played with her and gave her attention. Jenny re-assured me at the start and I felt comfortable leaving my dog with her. She listened to my instructions on how to care for my dog and followed them to the letter. Jenny is polite friendly and built a very good rapport with both of us! I would recommend Jenny to any dog lover who wants a home from home service.”


Karolina Z.

“Henry had a lovely day and overnight stay with Karolina. From moment we met and I dropped him off I could tell he would be happy and safe and well looked after.
