About: I’ve been around dogs since I was six years old, when I named my first dog—Bones, a sweet lurcher I adored. I’ve always had a passion for loving, nurturing, and gently training dogs of all ages. I’ve cared for several medium-sized dogs, and many of my friends trust me to walk their dogs or look after them during short-term stays. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I’m committed to giving every dog the same patience, care, and kindness. As a final-year university student who also works part-time, my schedule is very flexible. I’m often available during the day, as well as most evenings and weekends. This allows me to easily fit pet care into my routine and give each dog plenty of attention and consistency. I care for pets in their own home where they feel most comfortable and secure, and I’m happy to take them for walks anywhere you prefer. I understand that every dog is unique, with their own routines, needs, and personalities. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely and will accommodate any preferences to ensure your dog receives the best possible care. My priority is keeping your pet safe, happy, and relaxed—and giving you complete peace of mind while you’re away.
About: I’ve had my Golden Retriever Wrigley for 4.5 years and he’s my best friend! I’ve taken care of friends dogs in the past and love going on big walks and playing games in the garden! I work from home some days during the week and available most weekends! Usually go out for two walks a day and would love Wrigley to have some company! I have a fully secure back garden with a fence and gate that is locked. Have grass and a large space to play catch in.
“Fiona was great with Belle, and we felt safe leaving Belle in her care. Communication was excellent, with regular photos throughout the day, and we came back to a happy dog. We have further daycare booked with Fiona - would recommend!”
“Kathryn was absolutely brilliant from start to finish. Super friendly and you can just tell how much she loves dogs. Our boy Indie had a great time and her Goldie Dolly is an absolute sweetheart too. Kathryn provided us with regular updates and photos which was reassuring as it was our boy Indies first time (at the ripe old age of 10) going to doggy day care. Couldn't recommend Kathryn enough. Absolute superstar”
“Finding a reliable and trustworthy pet sitter was crucial for me. 🐾 Luckily, I stumbled upon Sarah and I couldn't be happier with their assistance! 🙌 Not only do they take amazing care of my fur baby, but they also send me adorable photo updates throughout the day. 📸 It's such a relief to know my Luca🧸 in good hands while I'm away. ❤️ If you're in need of a pet sitter, I highly recommend Sarah without a second thought. Trust me, your furry friends will thank you! Luca love you Sarah♥️”
“Puca had a great day with Lisa! He had a walk up the towpath, playing with his ball in her garden and a snooze on the couch. He was in great from when I picked him up and is now back at home fast asleep - must have been a fun day!”
“Sarah is absolutely incredible at looking after Cinnamon Bun, even with the food obsession and a bit of separation anxiety! CB really loves her and has a great time whenever she spends the day 😊”
About: I am well educated. I know about different pet breeds, their specific physical needs and their nutritional needs. I am aware of animal resources in my community such as vet clinics, pet stores, pet-friendly parks. Pet care integrates into a daily or weekly routine by incorporating feeding, exercise, grooming, and playtime into established activities. This can include morning walks, meal times, and even breaks during work for some attention and interaction with the pet. Pet care, whether in my home or the pet owner's home, involves providing basic needs like food, water, shelter, and exercise, as well as ensuring their health and safety. The specific services offered would influence the level of care provided, such as walking, playtime, feeding, and even overnight stays. I have a secured backyard.
“It’s the first time Finn has needed day care, so I was a little nervous, and worried that she’d be upset. I needn’t have worried: Daisy is lovely and put my mind at ease with lots of photos and updates throughout the day. Finn was obviously very comfortable in Daisy’s home (she took lots of naps) and was straining on the lead to get in on the second day! I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Daisy, I will definitely (already have, actually) book with her again. 🐾”
About: I’ve looked after a lot of different dogs (mostly for family and friends) over the years, and also have had cats and dogs of my own. I love animals and enjoy looking after and spoiling them. I’m very flexible with different routines and temperaments, and have experience looking after anxious dogs, including my own rescue in the past. I’m currently working part time on the weekends (usually 10am-4pm) and am in university during the academic year (I’m usually only ever occupied by uni until 1pm during the week). I live with my parents and my younger brother so there’s usually someone at home if I’m at work. I have a fenced garden in a quiet, animal-friendly area. I also live near multiple dog-friendly parks. I have an antisocial but otherwise friendly outdoor cat who will happily stay out of the way of any new animals in the house. My household is relatively quiet and has lots of room to roam around or play.
“We were nervous about leaving Missy for the first time but we had nothing to worry about, she looks like she had a great time and spoiled!lol Thanks so much Isla she will definitely be back x”
About: I have experience providing dependable, loving care for pets, including walks, feeding, playtime, and maintaining daily routines. I’m patient, and always focused on making pets feel relaxed, happy, and well cared for🧡 I have a miniature dachshund called Mila who will also keep them company and share her toys with🧡 My schedule is currently very spacious. I am happy to provide loving care for your special pet. I’m available for home visits, walks, & care at my own home. My home is safe, we have a small garden. We also have a crate, doggy bed, blankets & toys. Our home is warm and cosy. Happy to follow any special requests.
About: Experienced in various fields within the doggy industry. I have been dog walking for the past three years. I have dabbled aswell with dog training but not professionally. I myself own a Rhodesian ridgeback. I work full time as a dog walker and sitter so I am available at all hours of the day to cater to your pets' needs. I have a fenced garden and everything a pet needs in my household. Pupdates will be provided daily for owners own peace of mind. Feel free to message for any further details :)
About: I currently live in Belfast City Centre. I’ve looked after my own dogs for over 20 years. I have the most experience with small and medium dogs of all ages. My own little Westie Honey lived until she was 18 years old and I looked after her in her old age when she went deaf and blind and had a series of strokes. I have experience in feeding, bathing, walking, cleaning up after and entertaining both large and small dogs. I have just finished my maternity cover contract with my work place and would like to focus on pet setting as my main source of income at the moment, so I am fully flexible to help out with your pet needs. I live in a 5th floor apartment so it is unlikely I will be able to take pets into my own home long term, unless there are special circumstances that require it. I am fully willing to visit your home multiple times per day when you are unable to be at home with your pets. I am also able to stay in your home over night if you require. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions for me!
“This was my first time leaving my little dog, I was so nervous but Emma sent me updates and my dog was so happy and content with Emma and Chris I will definitely be using them again 😃😃”

Helen is absolutely amazing and had a lovely manner with our puppy. Unfortunately it didn't work out due to other reasons but would highly recommend to others. I got loads of pictures and updates and safe to say my pip was absolutely exhausted when we brought her home.
Caitlin is totally brilliant. She is such a caring person and just loved having Charles. I was visiting Belfast for a conference and needed daytime care. Nervous Charles relaxed straight away in her home, enjoying playing with toys or just being chilled out. He was relaxed because Caitlin is so warm and friendly, a complete natural with dogs. She was great at keeping me updated, providing many photos of Charles, and I even got a vido too. We were frequently in touch about logistics and she is so helpful, even giving tips for the visitor to the city. I found it really easy to get to and from the town centre where the conference was and it all the handovers were handled efficiently. Nervous doggie-dad was reassured! Charles loved it and I even thought he wanted to stay longer. I very much recommend Caitlin and only wish is that I could have her look after Charles again soon. It will have to wait for my next visit to Belfast. Thank you, Caitlin!
Kathryn was absolutely brilliant from start to finish. Super friendly and you can just tell how much she loves dogs. Our boy Indie had a great time and her Goldie Dolly is an absolute sweetheart too. Kathryn provided us with regular updates and photos which was reassuring as it was our boy Indies first time (at the ripe old age of 10) going to doggy day care. Couldn't recommend Kathryn enough.

My partner and I were visiting Belfast for the day and needed a one-off daycare sitter for our dog, Max. Lisa was absolutely lovely and very welcoming from the moment we arrived. Her place was easy to find and she has a fully enclosed garden, which gave us great peace of mind. Most importantly, Max had a fantastic time! Lisa is very much a dog person and was comfortable with Max’s big bark. We’d definitely recommend Lisa to anyone looking for a caring dog sitter.
We have had such a fantastic experience with Beth and Aisling. Our pup Mac was only 4 months old when we first contacted Beth and Aisling. We were invited to a meet and greet and we instantly felt welcomed by them. Mac has had 2 full days (into the evening) with Beth and Aisling which we required for family events. They have taken such great care of Mac and I would highly recommend them!
I honestly can’t recommend this dog daycare enough! Mylo is a very anxious little dog and usually hates being away from me, so I’m always nervous leaving him anywhere. But from the moment he arrived, he completely surprised me - he bonded straight away and was so settled and comfortable. It really felt like a true home from home. When I picked him up, I could instantly tell he’d had a great day, he was happy, calm, well-rested, and clearly had some nice walks too! I’ll definitely be booking again, thank you so much for making this such a positive experience for both of us 💛
Mac's first time in doggy day care and I was a little nervous. Daisy was absolutely marvellous, Mac was always so excited when he saw Daisy. She sent daily updates and took him on several adventures. Cannot fault Daisy in any way, would not hesitate to leave Mac with her again.
Ronan has taken amazing care of our very active puppy Grace. She is always delighted to see Ronan and comes home happy, exercised but not exhausted. She has terrorized every other person who has watched her, no matter their experience with dogs. Thank you Ronan for being so good with our wee Grace!
Dave was a super dog sitter - Max was really well looked after. Dave was attentive and made sure he knew everything about Maxs needs to make sure he was 💯 settled. Dave was very warm and friendly too! Dave sent lots of photos so we could see how content was. Highly recommend Dave!! Thanks
My Marlo is very timid and a nervous dog. However meeting Nicola she made him feel at ease and us too! She wanted pet names and routine to help her connect to Marlo. We left him a few hours and we received pictures and messages to ease our mind. Marlo looked content. Looking forward to next week so Marlo can connect more with Nicola Tysm ❤️ xxx
Huge thank you to Niall for watching Maya today. It’s not always easy finding someone comfortable with a large breed, but they handled my dog with such ease and confidence. I received several photos during the day and Niall was very quick to reply when I messaged which really put my mind at ease. Maya came home happy and content and I’m sure would love to go back and spend some more time with Niall and Nelly!
