“I recently had the pleasure of meeting and working with Mariia for the first time, and I couldn’t be more impressed. From the moment we met, Mariia was professional, friendly, and clearly experienced with dogs. My dog, Rowan, is a bit shy with new people but Marie was patient with him and he started to warming up to her. The walk went smoothly. It was clear that Mariia not only enjoys spending time with dogs but also understands their needs and how to handle them. Overall, I’m extremely satisfied with the experience and feel confident in trusting Mariia with Rowan in the future. Highly recommended!”
“I hired Rebecca when my pregnancy became too much for me physically and I couldn’t take my Pomeranian for a walk. Rebecca was always on time, dependable, and communicated any schedule changes well ahead of time and I know my dog looked forward to her walks. I would hire Rebecca again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her.”
“Thank you Clare for helping out at such short notice in taking Red out for a walk. Clare is a quietly spoken, polite young lady. Red took to her straightaway. He didn't even look back to see if I was coming as well! This was his first time wirh a dog walker. I would recommend Clare and definitwly use her service again.”
“Amy is great with Rocky and Rocky loves Amy so overall it's a good match aha! Amy gives very good updates about the walks and even took Rocky to a open field which he enjoyed so much he's going back with me soon haha. Amy provided us with lots of pictures whilst they were out to reassure he was okay etc... Overall a very good experience and we most definitely would recommend.”

About: i have always had pets in my family so it’s second nature to care for them! it is my number one aim to ensure that they’re happy and well looked after whilst in my care and i understand every pet is different so i like to provide a custom service ensuring all of your pets’ needs are met. i have been trusted by many when it comes to taking care of their pets and take pride in punctuality, professionalism, good communication and above all, ensuring that they get the best care whilst their owners are away. i have looked after several different animals including cats, dogs, chickens and tortoises to name a few. i have also dealt with a variety of needs pets may have such as a strict walking schedule, elderly dogs, oral medication administration and therefore have a lot of experience with catering for the specific needs of each pet. i understand it can be daunting leaving your furry friend with a stranger but rest assured you’ll always come home to a happy pet! i have limited availability but with what i do have, i’d love to provide your pet with the love and care they need whilst you’re away! contact me to discuss any requests :) [FOR HOUSE SITTING] when house sitting i like to ensure that i stick to each pets daily routine (if there is one in place) to ensure that they feel safe, relaxed and happy. reading your pets body language is very important to gauge their wishes whilst caring for them such as when they want to play, nap, have fusses and cuddles or be left to their own devices (within reason i.e. to nap). i also ensure that i treat every owners home as if it were my own, with respect, i.e. cleaning up after my self. [ONLY RELEVANT FOR DAY CARE AND/OR DOG BOARDING] we have a young english bulldog (blue) who is energetic and loves other dogs. there is a fenced garden and multiple parks within 200yards of my house so all of your pets walking and socialisation needs will be met as well as regular toilet breaks where needed :) (does not come with me during stays at pet owners house).
About: I've been around all animals since I was a child from big dogs to cats to caged animals to birds. I love caring for pets as it brings me so much joy knowing they're in safe hands and you don't have to worry. I'm home every day of the week as I have a daughter of 1 year old. She too loves animals as I've had her around pets since she was born (safely obviously). I can work this job around my parenting.

About: I have loved animals all my life and have over 20 years of experience caring for pets. I have looked after dogs, cats and small animals for friends, family and neighbours. I understand that pets are part of the family and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable and well cared for. I am reliable, calm and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. I run my own local service business, which gives me a flexible schedule. This allows me to fit pet visits and dog walks around my day. I am usually available mornings, afternoons and evenings for pet visits, feeding, playtime and walks. I understand how important routine is for pets, so I always try to keep their normal schedule while their owners are away. I always care for pets in a calm, gentle and responsible way. When visiting a pet in their home, I follow the owner’s instructions carefully to make sure the pet feels comfortable and safe in their own environment. I make sure food, water and litter trays are clean, and I spend time giving pets attention and play so they don’t feel lonely. I also treat every home with great respect and keep everything tidy and secure.

About: I’m a full time registered veterinary nurse with eight years of experience in practice and many years of experience working with horses (and yard dogs and cats) before that. I am confident with animals of all ages and can give medications, physio, basic training, first aid etc. if needed. My family dog is a rescue from Dogs Trust so I’m also happy to help with dogs who need a bit more time getting used to a new person. I love all dogs but high energy breeds like collies are my favourite! 🥰 I work shifts Monday to Friday so my available times will vary and I’m generally free at the weekends. I can be flexible with house sitting for longer periods of time. I live with a very lovely cockapoo so unfortunately I am only able to care for dogs in my home if they are very well socialised and could match her energy. But I am happy to look after pets in the owners home if required!

I hired Rebecca when my pregnancy became too much for me physically and I couldn’t take my Pomeranian for a walk. Rebecca was always on time, dependable, and communicated any schedule changes well ahead of time and I know my dog looked forward to her walks. I would hire Rebecca again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her.
Kylie walked my dog Finley this week. She was able to come meet him prior to the walk even despite the short notice and he instantly took a shine to her. I also received a great picture of the pair of them enjoying their walk together! Highly recommend and will not hesitate to rebook in the future. Thanks!
My dog loves Hannah! We’ve had a couple of walks so far and have a stay booked for later this week. Hannah has turned up early, giving me time to take her through all my instructions. I’ve only ever left Millie with family before but know she’ll be well looked after.
