Dog Sitting Birmingham

About: I’ve grown up around animals and have experience caring for both dogs and cats. I was raised with two Old English Sheepdogs, so I’m very comfortable with larger breeds as well as the daily responsibilities that come with caring for pets, including walks, feeding, playtime, grooming, and giving them lots of attention and affection. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I always aim to make them feel safe, happy, and well cared for while their owner is away. I work Monday to Thursday, 9-5, in Birmingham city centre, so I’m usually most available for pet sitting on Fridays and weekends. I may also be available for weekday evening visits depending on location. I’m happy to offer reliable visits, feeding, walks, playtime, and company, and I’ll always make sure your pet receives the time, care, and attention they need. I live in a clean, well cared for home, and have a large park nearby, which is ideal for dog walks and outdoor time. I always aim to provide a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for pets in my care, while following their usual routine as closely as possible. I’m also very respectful when caring for pets in other people’s homes and would always treat your home, and your pet, with care and consideration.

About: I offer professional dog walking and overnight boarding services tailored to your dog’s needs. With over 2 years of experience and a dog of my own, I understand how important it is to give your furry friend the attention, care, and love they deserve. Your dog will be treated like family in a safe, comfortable, and friendly environment. I have an open schedule every day, so I’m able to give pet care my full attention. I plan my day around feeding times, walks, play, and any other needs the pet may have. I enjoy caring for animals and make sure they feel safe and well looked after. I always make sure pets are in a safe, clean, and comfortable environment. I follow any instructions from the owner closely—especially when it comes to feeding, routines, and any special needs. I keep a close eye on pets at all times, make sure they’re never left alone for too long, and create a calm, friendly space where they feel secure. I also take time to build trust with each pet, so they feel happy and cared for while their owner is away. In addition to this I offer a spacious fenced garden where the dogs can safely play with my friendly dog who enjoys the company of other pets, which can help them feel more at ease and provide companionship.

“I am extremely happy with the care my pets received. Everything was even better than I could have expected, and I felt completely comfortable leaving my pets in her care. Olga was always punctual, communication was excellent, and she sent beautiful photos along with detailed and thoughtful updates, which gave me great peace of mind. Knowing that my cats were in such wonderful hands made my vacation so much more enjoyable and completely stress-free. Olga treated my apartment with respect and carried out every task with great care and attention to detail. Most importantly, my cats quickly trusted her and were happy to play and spend time with her, which says a lot. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of my pets. I would definitely book your services again and highly recommend you to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter! See you soon Olga! 💝”

About: I have hands-on experience with dog sitting, including caring for my own dog, which has given me a strong understanding of daily routines, behaviour, and overall pet wellbeing. I’ve also successfully looked after neighbours’ pets, building trust with both owners and their dogs. I’m particularly confident with puppies and their needs, but I’m equally comfortable caring for dogs of all ages, ensuring they feel safe, well cared for, and happy in my care. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine as I work from home during the week, allowing me to give dogs consistent attention, supervision, and care throughout the day. I’m able to incorporate walks, feeding, playtime, and regular check-ins easily alongside my schedule. I don’t work weekends, which means I’m fully available for extended care, boarding, or last-minute needs. Overall, I have a very flexible routine and am generally available, making it easy for me to accommodate different pet care requirements. I plan to provide a safe, fun, and structured environment for your dog while they’re in my care. I have a range of toys to keep them mentally stimulated and entertained, as well as crates available if they’re used to having their own space to relax. There’s also a park nearby where I’ll take them for regular walks, exercise, and playtime. I have a dog of my own too, so your dog will have friendly company and social interaction, helping them feel comfortable and engaged throughout their stay.

“We booked Beatriz for home visits over a long weekend and she was wonderfully attentive to our 3 needy cats, as usual. She even managed to win over our big scaredy cat, Mickey. The frequent photos and videos meant we were truly able to relax. Would 100% book again and recommend!”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs all my life. My family home has never been without one. I have 2 dogs currently a 13yrs bichon frise cross and a 2yr old golden doodle cross living at my parents. They come and stay with me when my parents need dog sitting. I have looked after friends dogs of all different breeds and sizes from dachshunds to cane corso. So no matter the age or size, we would get on just fine. I’ve had cats since I was 12yrs old. My first cat was a 14yr old rescue that required extra attention with medication etc. At my parents I Currently have a cat called Nelly and her son Minford. He was 1 of the 4 kitten she had that we kept. Having a pregnant cat that gave birth in your care is an amazing experience in itself so I’m very familiar with looking after and meeting the needs of cats and kittens of all ages. I’m currently working self employed at the moment on call waiting for jobs. I can be out of the house for 1-2hrs at a time during the day or some days not at all. I live in an apartment block but have an outdoor courtyard and grass park 2 minutes walk away. They would have access to any many toilet breaks as they need and we can take a walk to the park.

About: I’ve been working in the veterinary industry for some time. I spent a lot of time around animals of all ages, and I’ve learned that even though they can’t talk, they have their own way of telling us what they need. I’m especially patient with senior pets who just need a slow pace and a gentle hand, as well as younger ones who are still figuring the world out. My approach is really just about being present and observant—I focus on sensing their mood and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while you're away. I’m not a professional trainer, but I am a great listener when it comes to what your pet is 'saying' through their behavior. I only work 4 days a week. I have no extra commitments outside of work so that gives me extra time to take care of our furry friends. I do not own a pet so no need to worry about comparability, especially for our extra anxious friends. There are parks around my building and so they can have easy access to the greens.

About: I am patient with dogs, but I will stop them from doing the wrong thing in time. I will use food to train dogs, such as sitting, shaking hands, lying down, etc. I am currently studying, and usually I have a lot of free time on Saturdays and Sundays, but I also have different periods of free time on Mondays and Fridays. My home is a two-room apartment, which is very large. And the apartment I live in is a pet-friendly apartment. Many residents here have their own pets. I believe your pet will have a good time in my home.

About: Your dog isn’t just a pet—they’re family, and I treat them like my own! Unlike other sitters who may have multiple dogs at once, I keep my bookings limited to give your pup my full attention. I offer flexible drop-off and pick-up times and last-minute bookings for busy pet parents. My goal is to make this process as easy as possible for both you and your pup! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine! Whether it’s morning walks, playtime, feeding schedules, or cozy evening cuddles, I make sure every pup gets the attention and care they need throughout the day. I prioritize sticking to their routines, providing plenty of exercise, and giving them all the love and companionship they deserve while you're away. I provide a safe, loving, and structured environment whether caring for pets in my home or at the owner's home. In my home, I make sure they have a cozy space, plenty of playtime, regular walks, and lots of affection. If I’m caring for pets in their own home, I follow their usual routine as closely as possible to keep them comfortable and stress-free. From feeding schedules to exercise and companionship, I treat every pet like they’re my own!

About: Hey there, I’m Amy and I live in Brindleypace (B16) As well as petting sitting and dog walking, my working background is in creative industries, events management and student support in higher education. I have a flexible schedule including weekdays and weekends for walks, sitting or check ins. I grew up learning how to care for dogs, horses, cats and small furries from a young age. I then went on to care for my family and friends’ animals as I got older. I loved having not only the responsibility but also the companionship. Experiencing the relationships develop with the animals was really wonderful. My auntie also had a pet sitting business and I would love to spend weekends with her taking care of pets. My pet sitting and dog walking business is named for my first family dog Rebel, a staffie/mastiff cross, who we rescued in October 2017 from RSPCA in West Midlands. It sounds cheesy I know, but he really taught me how to love unconditionally. Since then, my sister has adopted two more dogs from Serbia and Romania who needed a lot of love, patience and socialising. I have helped care for them and their complex needs as they had previously lived in on the streets scavenging for food and receiving poor treatment from humans. I'm pleased to say they're doing very well now! I have a Russian tortoise at home named Waldo and he’s four years old now! He was only a few centimetres when he came home and now he’s the size of a side plate. His favourite foods are Cavolo Nero (posh) kale, dandelions, pak choi and strawberries. Your baby/ies will be in very safe hands x I grew up learning how to care for dogs, horses, cats and small furries from a young age.

Here I take care for the owners dogs, cats and Alpacas, managing medications, behavioural issues and diets aswell as training young puppies and baby alpacas.

I am familiar with many different training methods and am flexible to using each one due to the needs of both the dog and owner I am working with. I have a working cocker spaniel which I trained myself to a gun dog standard from a puppy, I also own 2 cats (15 and 4) who all get along very well with one another aswell as with the dog. I prefer to use training methods of positive reinforcement and relationship building however if needed I can adapt to different training methods (no physical reprocussions) depending on a pets needs and preferences. Additionally we also added another cocker spaniel puppy to out house who is currently in training with me. Meaning I am familiar with different training and desensitisation techniques for younger dogs aswell as advocating for older animal happiness and health on my walks

About: Currently apart of the ItsNotADogKennel Team, I’m a cat mom with two fur babies of my own so I’m confident handling cats of all ages, from tiny kittens to senior sweethearts. I’m comfortable giving them lots of love, keeping their space clean, and understanding their unique little personalities. On top of that, I have light hands on experience from helping in a reptile store and a bird store, which gave me basic knowledge and confidence around a variety of animals, from snakes and lizards to parrots and budgies. I’m always willing to learn more about different types of pets and their specific care needs. exploring my next steps in the animal care field. I’ve always had a deep love for animals, and I’m now looking to build more hands on experience while figuring out where I want to go long-term, I’m currently available full time and pretty flexible so whether it’s short notice, overnight stays, or longer term house sits, I’ve got the time and commitment to make sure your pets and home are well looked after. I have two indoor cats of my own that I care for daily, Their care is fully handled at home, which means I’m still completely available for house sitting including overnight and longer stays.

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.

“I was super worried about leaving my girls for the first time but they seemed absolutely fine without us thanks to Leanne! She sent photos every day which put me at ease and was very quick at responding to messages. Would definitely book Leanne again. Thanks so much.”

About: Used to have an Australian Shepherd of my own so am well versed in dog needs for active breeds, as well as calmer ones. Having worked with a dog trainer for approx a year, I’m comfortable handling reactive dogs too. I’ve been looking after friend’s and neighbour’s dogs and cats for a couple of years now, as I love pets and miss having one of my own. I’m an active person no matter the weather and love to have a 4 legged companion join me as I explore the city. Equally enjoy looking after cats, so if you need someone to pop in to feed and play with them for a bit, I’d be very happy to do so. I love taking photos, so expect lots of photo updates of your furry baby while you’re away! I work from home most of the week, so I can easily go for walks before 9am, during lunch time and after 5-6pm. I’m available for onboarding from Thursdays 6pm all through the weekend if I’m in town. Dogs are allowed on the sofa and can sleep in the bed with me if that’s more comfortable for them. I do not have a crate, so if you prefer your furry baby to use one, please make sure you’re able to provide it.

“I would have no hesitation in Jiale looking after any of our pets, she keeps you up to date, advises you if there were anything out of character for your pet whilst away. Very respectful and polite. Tommy was well cared for whilst we were away and he certainly made a friend in Jiale. Thank you so much !”

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 always grown up with big dogs so I am more than capable to care for them and tend to their needs, I am comfortable in looking after dogs of various sizes and ages. I have dog sat before and I am comfortable and certain that I can take care of dogs very well and have plenty of cuddles and play time with them! I do work full time however there are days where I work from home and could make arrangements to house sit in the week! I am available for house sitting from Friday evenings all through the weekend! I am also free after 5pm so I am more than happy to dog walk in the evenings or do drop in visits! I will always follow any guidance you give me about your dogs needs/feeding times/giving medication, and will make sure that your dog is in the safest hands possible. If I am dog sitting at your home I will make sure that your pet still feels comfortable with me there!
