About: Hi! I’m a friendly, dedicated animal lover with a lifetime of experience caring for pets. I grew up surrounded by both cats and dogs, and over the years, I’ve had the pleasure of interacting with many different breeds and personalities. My experience with a wide range of dog breeds has helped me develop strong handling skills and a calm, confident approach to care. Your dog’s safety and comfort will always be my top priority. I also understand that every cat has a unique personality, and I know how to interact with them in a way that makes them feel safe and at ease. Please note: I do not offer services in my own home. My house-sitting services are for daytime care in your home only, not overnight stays. 🐾 I’m currently in between jobs, which means I have plenty of time and flexibility to care for your pet and give them the attention they deserve! I currently offer pet care in the owner’s home only, and not in my own home or overnight. When I’m caring for pets in their home, I do my best to follow their usual routine to keep them comfortable and happy. I’ll make sure they have fresh food and water, get plenty of playtime and attention, and stick to their usual walk I always prioritize safety and give pets lots of love and care while keeping you updated throughout the day. I know how important it is for pets to feel secure in their own environment, and I’m here to make sure they’re relaxed and well looked after while you’re away.

About: I used to have my own very sweet labrador and have looked after a range of dogs from German Shepards to Shetland Sheepdogs. All ranging in age from 5 months to 13 years. Having already completed an IMDT course i plan to further this knowledge by undertaking more courses going forwards. My experience has involved working on loose lead walking, using positive reinforcement, as well as walking dogs who are reactive and of course play and love :) .I love all animals and also have some experience with cats and lizards, and I try to educate myself on pet care as best as I can; it has always been a special interest of mine. I am currently searching for part time work and so I have plenty of energy and time to devote to helping care for animals :) I can come to look after your pets at your home including feeding, playing and letting them out into the garden, and I am happy to take dogs for a walk.

About: My journey as a pet sitter started when a friend needed someone urgently—I stepped in, and word of mouth quickly took over. Soon, friends of friends began reaching out, and what started as a favour turned into something I genuinely love. Since I’m not able to have a pet at home, I cherish every opportunity to care for others' animals and make the most of each experience. Whether it’s a playful puppy or a senior pet needing extra attention, I treat every animal with love, patience, and personalised care as if they were my own. I work from home full time and honestly need a few distractions during the day—so a fluffy cuddle is always welcome! Pet care fits in naturally with my routine. I’m available to house sit (I just need an available screen or can bring my own setup), and I can do drop-in visits and walks around lunchtime and after 4 p.m. It’s a great way to break up my workday and spend time with animals, which I love. When caring for pets in a pet owner's home, I prioritize their safety and comfort, as well as the security of the home. I make sure that any areas the pet has access to are pet-proofed, ensuring there are no hazards like open doors, toxic plants, or dangerous objects. I’m very attentive to each pet’s specific needs, whether it’s sticking to their regular routine, giving medications, or making sure they get enough exercise. Since I work from home, I’m able to offer constant supervision, providing pets with the attention and care they deserve. I make sure to follow any instructions the pet owner gives to ensure the pet feels as comfortable and safe as possible. Whether it's during a house sit or just a walk, the pet’s well-being is my top priority.


About: I love dogs and had a shih tzu named Pebbles for 13 years. I also was a horse owner for many years so I have a lot of experience taking care of animals. I work from home now and miss having a dog to shower with love and attention. My friends regularly ask me to dogsit for them when they are away. My schedule is flexible and I work on different time zones, so I have time during the day to accommodate for the specific needs of your dog. I have a big fenced backyard where your dog can play. I live less than a 10 min walk to a massive dog park surrounded by lots of open fields where I can take your dog for walks.

About: Ive taken care of dogs long term myself and short term when I was younger...ive had my best boy from the day he was born to now which he is now 15+ years old. I did have his brother but unfortunately he passed the bridge 🪽 over 2 years ago 😞...I did previously have my boys mum and I rescued her from an abusive home and later found out she due to have puppies and resulting that, she rejected all 8 of her puppies (I didnt make it sadly 😢) so me being pregnant also had to hand rear the remaining 7 lively healthy puppies ❤️....when i was a child, I did quickly learn that all dogs are different in there own ways as much as people are. Since I was very young, my family have had a number of rescue dogs from different back grounds...very much like people. Only different between a dog and a person is a dogs love is unconditional and innocent ❤️ Im currently in-between jobs so I am available during the weekdays and day time hours of 11am-3pm...but if I have some spare time then I may be available til 5.30pm. I am also available every other weekend in the hours of 11am-6pm Saturday and 11am-4pm. Im not shy to give medication via tablet or liquid form if needed and left with clear instructions on dosage. If required too, then I can put the dog/s in a crate or in a separate room. Also if required too and if available, I will use the necessary walking harness/lead. Abide by any information given to myself and I will also keep a log of any potential regular customers needs for their fur babies.

Pets are allowed to relax on the sofa or bed. I am also happy to stay over with your pets in your home. I drive, and am happy to accommodate any request

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: I’ve got experience with walking dogs and sitting dogs independently, got experience with both large and small dogs. I’ve got two fur babies of my own. And my neighbours always wanted me to walk their dogs. I’ve been walking friends and family dogs on and off for since I was about 10. I’ve got my driving license so am willing to come as far as I need to I work part time and also finishing my last year of a-levels but I can always find time for your animals when they need a little a help or company I will listen to what you want, whatever advice or preferred method you use, if explained I’m more than happy to apply when looking after your animals. I’m very respectful and honestly I just love animals which is why Im doing this

“I couldn't be happier with the care Olivia provided for my pets while I was away for seven days. Every day, she sent me updates and lovely photos of my cat, which gave me such peace of mind. It was clear that my cat was relaxed, happy, and well looked after. Olivia is reliable, kind, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy pet sitter!”


About: From as long as I can remember I have had a dog or cat or both, I look after my daughters dogs and cats regularly. My daughters dog is a rescue so I know how nervous she can be and can spot the signs when she is stressed I am free most evenings and weekends, so happy to have a pet to stay over or visit or just sit with or walk them I have an amazing park on my door step to walk yiur dog. I have plenty of room in my property and no children so any nervous dog would be at ease

About: I’m a massive dog lover (and a more recent cat convert!). I’ve had terriers my whole life, and spent time living and caring for a Shizon and Chihuhua! I know that every little character has their ways which I’m more than happy to adjust to, whether they like runs in the park or a leisurely stroll, lounging around or playing with toys. In my time owning pets there have been difficult moments for example caring for injured dogs and dealing with illness as they enter their twilight years. Conversely also puppies there has been difficult moments, mostly cleaning up accidents which I am accustomed too! I know how challenging it can be with puppies maintaining rules and boundaries, which is something I try to keep in mind when caring for others pets to support your efforts as everyone’s are different! I try to be a flexible as possible to meet any last minute requests, and very reliable. I am fully DBS checked and can provide references on request. My current living situation means that owing a dog is not a fair option for me at the moment, so I’m keen to get some hours of puppy play and dog walking in! During the day I currently work full time, but mostly remotely which allows me loads of flexibility in terms of time and location of work hours to spend with your pets. This also means that I am available evenings and weekends too! Coming into a pets environment can be a bit daunting for them, giving your pet space and time to get used to me is important. Unless they are keen to play in which case I’m game. I love spending time playing with dogs and building trust. It would be great to know a bit about your pets personality, or meet them/yourself (time permitting!) ahead of caring for them too particularly if they have any little quirks! I would also been keen to know any unusual allergies, medical needs, or general dislike of things (noises, objects etc) to ensure I can care for them properly. For dog walks keeping to a familiar route/ area for your dog would be my preference to ensure they are comfortable is also key, and being aware of surroundings. For me feeling confident that a dog is safe whilst we’re out is the most important, the main part of this is being vigilant to how they are responding in a give situation and acting accordingly - usually removing them from it if nessecary. I have general knowledge around how to respond in a medical emergency with dogs, and emergency vets in the area. Also experience with dogs who have seizures and know how to respond appropriately. Happy to send regular updates and pictures via text or call about your pet at a time that suits you best! And I’m always available to contact through the day.

About: I’ve taken care of people’s pets for years, dogs and cats, being a filmmaker I work from home so availability is great. Simply let me know your pets personalities, likes and dislikes and I will cater to their needs. I just want them to feel comfortable and have a good time! I have all day free as I work from home so they will get all my attention! This career is my focus and therefore my schedule is adapted to work around your pets needs. With pets I don’t know I close all upstairs doors just to limit anyone getting lost as the house is quite large. The green is fenced off and quite large so plenty of running space in a safe environment.

Richard S.
“I can wholeheartedly recommend Richard for all your dog walking and pet sitting needs. From the moment I met him, it was clear how much he genuinely cares for animals and always puts their wellbeing first. Richard is experienced, knowledgeable, trustworthy, and has a calm, reassuring presence that animals really respond to. When he looked after my cat, Arthur, I had complete peace of mind knowing he was in safe hands. Richard didn’t just take care of the practical side of things - he spent real quality time with Arthur, giving him companionship and attention. It’s rare to find someone who treats your pet as if they were their own, but Richard truly does. If you’re looking for someone reliable, kind, and genuinely devoted to animals, Richard is the one to call.”
