About: An animal lover from an early age I spent years wanting to bring back every stray dog and cat I met abroad. Every opportunity I could I looked after friends dogs and cats. Finally, with many years experience under my belt and having had my own cats for 15 years I got my own puppy … now very large dog! When I travel now, he comes to and we have had many adventures abroad together since. I know how difficult it is to not be around our furry friends so can offer as much care and love for your pets as I give my own - whatever size or age and whether for a drop in, play or walk. I work from home with flexible hours, mostly staring at a computer screen. Walking and playing with my own dog has always been a most welcome and enjoyable break. I can therefore be flexible to ensure that your pet(s) get the care and attention they need. I will adapt to your pets needs whether a play in your house or garden or a walk in the park and take it at their own pace to ensure they feel comfortable around me.

“Sofia was lovely with our Joey, gave lots of good and reassuring updates and sent photos to help the separation sadness haha. Went beyond what was asked of her and I overall really appreciated her help the last few days. Would recommend Sofias services for your fur babies.”

About: Hi! My name is Karolina and I have set up this profile with my boyfriend Josh. We both have had dogs all our lives and we miss them now we have moved into the city! We are definitely considering getting a dog in the future so pet sitting will be a great experience! We have plenty of experience walking dogs and looking after dogs for our family and friends. We are more than happy to walk and pet sit and promise to give your pets all the love they deserve! We love a long walk (or short if your pet prefers!) and like exploring new parks and interesting places. Back home I have two rescue dogs and Josh has one dog at his family home too and we have no pets in Birmingham. We are happy to take your dog on a walk, most preferably on a weekend but if you are close to Altrincham then we are happy with weekday evening walks (after 5pm) then that's ok! We are happy to travel to you too if it is accessible by public transport. We are very keen to look after your dog and we are both very responsible. We will play/train the dog and follow your advice and are happy to look after your flowers too! Happy to sort the bins and water any plants too. In terms of pet sitting, we are more than happy to stay over 1 or 2 nights if we can work from home (just wifi and a place to sit!). For stays lasting 1 week or more, please provide at least 1 month notice and we would be happy to do it! I am fluent in Polish and Josh is trying his best on Duolingo! Thank you for reading! Please feel free to contact us and we would be more than happy to help! Josh and I work full time 9-5 so are free weekday evenings and are free on most weekends. We work from home so happy to pet sit during the day with wifi! We are very experienced looking after pets for our friends and family. We have had our own dogs all of our lives so we are very caring! We will give them all of our love and attention.

About: My experience as a dog trainer shows my deep care for dogs and equips me to understand their needs, ensuring excellent and tailored care for your pet I offer flexible dog care that fits into my schedule, with availability on weekends and evenings to accommodate your needs and ensure your pet's well-being I'll care for your dog in your home, providing lots of attention, regular walks, feeding, and playtime, keeping them happy and comfortable in their familiar space

About: I always had dogs since I was a kid and always played with my little ball of joys. Always gave me a lot of joy seeing dogs running around and playing with each other. Since I moved to the UK, my boyfriend and I also have a cute small yorkiepoo that loves to play with other dogs and have our friend’s pets coming over. I’m currently at home and my boyfriend also works remotely so your pups will always have somebody to play and go to parks. I usually go with my pup and friends every two or three days to parks nearby. My apartment has rooms that in case our pups are not well together, I can keep them away. We also have a public fenced garden, that allows the dogs to run around without a leash and play around.

About: I’ve taken care of both dogs and cats of every kind since I was 13. I have 10 years experience playing with these pets, keeping them entertained and engaged. Family and friends have relied on me to feed and bathe their pets. I often take care of my parents’ cat when they are on holiday, as well as my friends’ 2 brand new lab puppies! I’m currently a music student at uni and teach part time, so I have all evenings and weekends free to walk your doggies and keep them healthy and well. I am looking for dogs and cats in the Edgbaston/Harborne area. I am also willing to drive up to 5 miles for repeat bookings. I am very much a floor carer, meaning I am engaged with the dogs and play with them as much as they need. I don’t believe in harsh words spoken towards dogs, so love and attention is the name of the game.

About: With every dog I care for, I genuinely try to spend a lot of time with it whether it be playing or sitting and relaxing, rather than just letting it roam around by itself. I am an extremely active person as I was a 4 year athlete at the University of Virginia in the States but do also love my relaxation to chill and get comfortable when needed, meaning I am very capable of matching the highs and lows of the dogs energy. When in high school I cared for our neighbors’ dog very frequently for a couple years and cared for other dogs for different families here and there. I have received nothing but positive feedback and tried to continue my efforts in college but time management with school and a sport was very difficult. I know how important a pet can be to someone as I had lost my puppy in 2014 in a bad accident, so I try my best to treat every dog as if it was my own. I hope I get the chance to care for your dog! Have a nice day! I am currently working part time so I sill have plenty of time to meet the needs of the pup and also work around a good schedule for yourself I can easily crate your dog if needed and will always be nearby it so they don’t do anything or go anywhere that they are not supposed to. I will heavily monitor them

About: I have taken care of several animals over the years, but have never been able to gain proper professional experience. However, since I have practice looking after a range of animals (horses, chickens, dogs, cats, fish), I would like to take the opportunity to further develop my knowledge. I am a university student living in the city centre, with a high availability to work during term time, on both weekdays and on weekends. Unfortunately I currently live in a student accommodation which does not allow pets, however in the summer I will be moving into my own house in which pets are allowed. For the time being I plan to keep pets entertained either in their own household or spending longer hours outside.

“Anita was amazing with our cats, I have a nervous cat who usually takes a while to get used to new people but she warmed up to her straight away from the first visit, we had regular updates, pictures and videos. Really can’t thank her enough for looking after our cats at such short notice and over the Christmas period. Thank you so much!”

I am very fit and like to keep active and have lots of routes around my flat for dog walking. I love dogs, even when they get a bit rough and I love the great outdoors and finding the best spots for nature. I love being around dogs and think they are one of life's great joys, I had a dog growing up and miss him greatly and hope to one day get my own but, for now, I cannot think of a better job than running after dogs.

About: I grew up with an American Eskimo who left us in July 2024. My love for dogs cannot be expressed in words. Be it watching dog reels on Instagram or petting a dog anywhere on the streets, they have always been my best friends. Their unconditional love attracts me the most. I am more friendly with them than with Homo sapiens xD I love to feed them, sleep with them, walk with them...all that I would ever do with my babies, a dog parent would understand <3 It’s me and my partner who look after pets. I live in city centre, B4. My building has gardens, parking, and lots of dog treats. I am available all 7 days. Your dog will never be left alone, will get regular walks and lots of cuddles.

About: I have been caring for dogs and cats for over 15 years and genuinely love getting to know their little quirks. From zoomy puppies to senior cats with strong opinions, I adapt my care to suit each pet’s pace, personality, and routine. I have met everything from diva dachshunds to cats who only accept chin scratches at a 45° angle. I’m confident with all ages and temperaments, including nervous rescues, energetic pups, and senior pets who just want a calm, loving presence. I am experienced with medication, special diets, anxious animals, and pets who just need a bit of extra patience. I treat every pet like they are my own, whether that means tug-of-war in the garden, quiet lap time, or translating their unique version of “feed me now”. What sets me apart is a calm approach, strong intuition, and the ability to earn trust. Pet care is a regular part of my weekly routine and something I genuinely enjoy. I am flexible with mornings, evenings, and weekends, and I plan my schedule around the needs of the pets I’m looking after. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding, playtime, or overnight stays, I make sure your pet gets consistent, calm, and loving attention throughout the day. I always allow extra time for cuddles, belly rubs, and the occasional game of fetch (or staring contest with a cat!). Whether I am caring for your pet in my home or theirs, safety and comfort always come first. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, temperament, and specific needs so they feel secure and relaxed from the start. I make sure their environment is calm, clean, and free from hazards, and I always supervise them closely, especially during walks, mealtimes, and any interactions with other animals. I keep to the routines they are used to, including feeding times, medication (if needed), and preferred sleeping spots. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners feel reassured that their pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.

Nicola W.
“Nicola has looked after my Labrador Alfie many times, and I know that he is getting the very best of care when he is with her - be it out on varied walks or safe at home. He bounds up the drive to the front door whenever we get there! I cannot think of anyone else to whom I would rather entrust the well being of my beloved four legged friend.”

Simeon O.
“I few months ago, Simeon O took care of my dog Bentley while I was back home from college for a week during spring break. I live in Atlanta, so it wasn’t feasible to take Bentley home with me for the week. While I was worried about leaving him, Simeon made sure to put all of my worries to rest. Bentley is a rescue so he has some anxiety issues; he cannot be left inside for long periods of time and needs frequent exercise. Since Simeon is already a very active person, he took Bentley out for walks and runs even more often than I am able to during the school year. Before leaving for the week, I also informed Simeon that Bentley doesn’t like to be left alone in the apartment for long and that he has severe anxiety during thunderstorms. Simeon frequently sent me updates on how Bentley was doing, which showed me his dedication in spending time with Bentley. Unfortunately, while I was gone there was some rain in Charlottesville. Bentley is most comfortable during storms when he is wearing his thunder jacket and Simeon made it a point to put him in it and stay with him through the storm so he did not feel as anxious. Overall, when I got home Bentley was honestly happier than I had seen him in a while! When I picked him up from Simeon’s apartment, it was difficult to get him to leave. I honestly believe that through Simeon’s dedication and care, he built a special relationship with my dog, and I couldn’t have been more grateful for Simeon’s attention to detail and love for animals. I would highly recommend Simeon to anyone looking for a dog sitter!”


Maria Trinidad T.
“Trini is a very lovely and caregiver person, she has been taking care of my cat for years now, while I am away. My cat loves her, as soon as he hears her voice, come immediately to say hello to her. She is very responsible,I highly recommend her.”
