About: My partner Sarah and I both love animals and give them as much attention as they require ☺️ My own animals are a 15 year old cat, and a diabetic/half blind dog. So I’m well used to being needed constantly for attention, or giving different types of medication ie injected and oral. Currently working from home 3 days a week, but available most evenings and weekends with enough notice. My own dog and cat will be in the house also. The back garden is completely fenced and covered, even my own little escape artist hasn’t found a way to escape just yet. House is fully free to roam for all animals.

“Chelsea is great. Annabelle, my 1.5 year old lab, had a great time with her and she was always on time. Highly recommended!”


About: I’ve grown up surrounded by pets including puppies so have experience in training. I completed work experience at a veterinary clinic so also have experience in providing love and care to sick animals. I work full time but with flexible hours so I can walk your pets during the day and I can also work from home twice a week so can provide a full day of pet care during these. I’m able to provide feeding, grooming, walks and play time. I have a garden so pets are able to go outside frequently during home stays.

About: I had a dog for 17 years from I was 6. In more recent years I’ve dog sat for friends. I love all dogs and they take very well to me. I enjoy long walks and dog friendly cafes. I work shift work so I have 4 days off a week including weekdays, where I should be available all day. Happy to work round your busy working week! I have a closed off yard but also live near multiple parks for more space. I will always ensure the safety of your pet and listen to your concerns.

About: From 2021 to 2025 I worked as a pet sitter, dog walker and dog play facilitator in Barcelona where I gained experience with all kinds of canines. Throughout this time I cared for anxious and traumatised dogs who had experienced abuse and spent time in rescue centres. This experience taught me how to support these dogs to regulate their anxiety levels and feel more calm, confident and secure. I also worked with senior dogs who taught me how to adapt the pace and physical challenge of activities I presented to meet their needs whilst ensuring they were stimulated and motivated. With my company in Barcelona I learned to plan and deliver sensory enriched walks and trails on which the dogs search for and experience a wide range of stimuli to promote brain activation and mental and physical wellbeing. I have been excited to be able to recreate these trails in Alexandra Park. Having recently relocated to Belfast, I am delighted to be able to continue to offer my skills, care and passion, albeit under slightly greyer skies! My husband Aidan works in a caring profession is also a dog lover and we are pleased to open our home to your pup. Situated at the junction of the Antrim and Limestone Roads, I am ideally situated to offer walks in the Waterworks, bespoke sensory trails in Alexandra Park, socialisation at the Grove Playing Fields Dog Park or more adventurous tracks and trails on Cavehill. I take seriously each individual dog's needs and preferences. I recently moved from Spain and am excited to make pet sitting my main focus here, just like it was in Barcelona. Since this is my full-time work, I’m available 24/7 to care for your pups. My husband Aidan and I are also happy to welcome furry guests for overnight stays—even on weekends! We have a secure outdoor space where your dog can relax and enjoy some fresh air. Since dog care is my full-time job, I’m home pretty much 24/7, so your pup will always have company and plenty of attention throughout the day!

About: 🐶 I've grown up around dogs my whole life! From my own pets, to dog sitting for friends and neighbors, and finally working at my dream doggy daycare job for 2 years, I've loads of animal care experience! ✅ Experience with both puppies and senior dogs. Experience administering meds orally and topically. Experience with specialized diets. Experience walking, in home pet-sitting, and play relief. 😁 I'm a part time student at Queen's Uni studying poetry! I live in the city centre and have plenty of weekday and weekend availability. I'd be happy to schedule a meet & greet to make you and your pup more comfortable before booking any services! 📚 I'm a part time student at Queen's University so I only have classes midday Monday-Wednesday. I have availability on those days outside of class, and an open schedule Thursday-Sunday. I can do walks and pet owner's house sits at any point throughout the week as well as drop in visits if necessary! 🏠 Unfortunately, I cannot have pets in my student living accommodation, but I have tons of experience house sitting within the pet owner's home. I find that dog's tend to be more comfortable in their own environment, and I am more than happy to provide relief walks and adhere to any specific feeding schedule/restrictions as well as administer medication.

“Caitlin is always so reliable and provides so many cute photos. We feel at ease booking her and know our dog is having a good time on walks with Caitlin ☺️”


About: I was previously a dog/cat sitter and have looked after disabled dogs to dogs that just need a run around the park! I have experince in a range of breeds from great Danes to pugs and know how to tailor the experince to make your animal a little less sad when they're missing you! I only work part time around university. Pet sitting/ drop ins are a lovely way to earn more money while enjoying my tome and surrounding myself with things I love- animals. It's a win-win situation I dont offer over night stays mainly because of my two cats however they are dog friendly! They have been around multiple dogs from kitten to age 6 and mostly just ignore them in favour of their cat trees. I will send regular updates and photos because I know how anxious you can get away from your animals and I'm happy to accommodate any extra needs

About: I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m dependable, loving, and genuinely enjoy creating a bond with pets that I am looking after. I prioritize communication with owners and aim to provide a calm, positive, and enriching experience for every animal. Whether your pet is high energy or prefers quiet companionship, I adjust my approach to ensure they feel secure and loved! As a student currently on summer break, I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and energy to pet care. I’m available throughout the day for walks, drop-ins, or extended visits, and I can easily adjust my routine to meet each pet’s needs. This flexibility means I can be consistent, reliable, and fully present during every visit, whether it’s an early morning walk or afternoon playtime. I love spending my free time with animals, especially since my furry best friend lives back home in Canada, so taking care of your pets is a perfect fit for me during my break. For dog walking, I tailor each walk to the dog’s energy level, age, and comfort. Whether it’s a short potty break or a longer, more active outing, I ensure they get the exercise and stimulation they need. I always walk dogs safely on-leash, avoid high-traffic areas when needed, and keep a close eye on weather conditions to make sure walks are enjoyable and safe. When caring for pets in a pet owner’s home, I make it a priority to follow their usual routines as closely as possible. I stick to feeding schedules, walk times, and any special instructions provided, whether it’s administering medications, maintaining crate routines, or giving extra playtime. I respect the home and leave it just as I doing it, and I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. No matter the setting, I communicate clearly with pet owners and provide regular updates and photos to give peace of mind while they’re away.

“Niall was great, thank you”


About: Although I don’t have a dog of my own my family does and I have gained experience caring for them! I’ll provide your dog with the attention and care they need :) I’m currently working another job but only for a few hours at a time so I have plenty of time to give your pups walks, playtime and attention🩵I work evenings for around 4 hours and some days I work 2-3 hours in the mornings Monday through Friday 😊 I have a fenced garden at home for safe outdoor play. Wether at my home or yours I will make sure they feel comfortable and stick to routine in a clean environment:) 🐾

About: I've taken care of dogs for the longest time now. I have a beautiful little rascal back home and will take care of your pet like I would mine Working full-time right now, but will be available as needed upon sufficient notice in time. Can walk the pet early morning or after 6pm, definitely available most weekends Through years of pet care experience and a need to make the pet feel cared for with loads of attention, I make sure you can rest assured that they are in safe hands

About: I've been surrounded by animals my whole life, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. For the past two years, I've looked after a puppy named Kylo whenever her family goes on holiday. That experience has deepened my love for animals and inspired me to help more pet owners who need someone they can trust. I genuinely enjoy walking dogs—not just for the exercise, but because seeing how much joy they get from it is incredibly rewarding. I am currently working part time in a restaurant at the weekend in the evening, and I have also just finished my degree in fine art so I have a lot of spare time during the week and mornings for walks. I live in accommodation in the heart of Belfast city centre, which makes it easy for me to reach clients quickly and reliably. While I’m unable to offer pet sitting at home, I focus fully on dog walking and make sure each walk is safe, fun, and tailored to your dog’s needs. I’ve had plenty of experience caring for dogs and love giving them the exercise and attention they deserve.

About: I truly believe that dogs are the most wonderful thing in life. They teach us how to live by being happily present. My soul is deeply connected to my 4 years old golden retriever Rio that I left with my brother in my home country. I miss him everyday and I miss having a dog in my life, and that is why I will treat your dog like my own. Being in the precense of dogs for me is pure happiness and peace.

About: I’ve been around dogs since forever as we have always had dogs in my childhood home. All my family members also have dogs and my sister works for the local dog shelter back home so I have constantly had dogs in and out of my home. Since moving to Belfast I haven’t had the opportunity to have my own dog so I would love the opportunity to dog sit and dog walk. I also previously dog walked in my neighbourhood and dog sat for some families while studying abroad. I have a lot of free time for animals at the moment as I am currently studying a masters online while working part time hours beside my house. My back garden has a bordered fence around it and the house has been newly renovated. The dogs safety and well-being would be my number priority while they stayed so I would make my home feel like theirs.

“Rose was extremely helpful, she listened to the dogs needs and understood my anxiety prior to the walk. She was able to give me a report of how the dogs got on and have scheduled another walk with her. She made my Day, by her enthusiasm and her dedication solely on the needs and getting the dogs out for a walk! She is punctual and nothing's ever too much for her :) looking forward to next week! Thank you.”

Madison H.
“Madison is not only a reliable, caring and trustworthy friend but also the best pet sitter I’ve had yet! Madison looked after my beagle, Poppy, for a weekend. Poppy is an old dog with additional needs (medication, very specific food needs, etc) and Madison met those needs perfectly. Poppy is wary of new people and can take time to warm up to them but felt comfortable and safe with Madison as soon as they met. I would recommend Madison to anyone and would feel more than happy to leave Poppy in her care again.”
