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.
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.
“Amazing, my cat onika was so happy when I got home. Really great with updates and super lovely in person. Natalia really loves cats and you can tell from how she interacts with them. Super safe pair of hands and I will be contacting her for future sits 😊”

“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 currently own a 2.5 year old Labrador who is super friendly, loves both dogs and humans and adores playing fetch in the park! I’ve also grown up with family dogs my whole life including dogs who are rescued and elderly. I work from home, so I can offer a home away from home for your pet which includes a garden. I can take your pet out for a walk in the park either with or without my own dog - whatever suits you! Because I already own a dog, the house is full of exciting dog toys and treats too! As a current dog owner myself, I know how much work it requires to have a pet, so if I can offer you a little break or take any worries off your mind, then I’m happy to do so! I am currently working from home and take my Labrador for 2x walks a day in the park across the road. We also play in the garden at home but also make sure he gets enough rest and cuddles on the sofa! I am happy to work with your requirements. I.e I am confident I can leave your pet feeling happy, exercised and well fed (if feeding is required).
About: I grew up with dogs and have been pet sitting for my friends and family several times in the last few years. I am a gap year student so my schedule is very flexible! Since I’m on my gap year, my schedule is very flexible- I am happy to take any overnights, day time pet sitting, dog walking and boarding at your own homes When caring for pets in my own home, I will make sure they are kept in a safe, clean, and comfortable environment. I will provide fresh water and food according to their routine, give them plenty of exercise and playtime— I also have a fenced yard at home. I live near Epsom down so we can go for walks there! When looking after pets in an owner’s home, I follow the instructions they leave as closely as possible to maintain the pet’s usual routine. This can include feeding, walking, administering medication, cleaning up after them, and spending time with them so they don’t feel lonely. I also make sure the home is left secure and tidy after each visit.
“We had Rachel look after our two cats last year, and we will be absolutely thrilled to have them in her care again. She followed all tasks perfectly, and we came back after 2 weeks to very happy, well fed kitties. And a clean house! In fact, our oldest, very timid and shy cat warmed up to Rachel more than she has to anyone else. 10/10 Sitter!”


About: Hi! I’m a young professional living with my boyfriend in a spacious ground-floor one-bedroom apartment in Birmingham’s Jewellery Quarter. We are both huge animal lovers and grew up with dogs and cats, so we’re very comfortable caring for pets and understand the attention, exercise, and affection they need. I work from home one day a week and am available to look after dogs on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. We love spending time outdoors and would ensure your dog gets plenty of walks, playtime, and attention throughout their stay. I am available for check ins/ dog walking lunchtimes in the Edgbaston area. We have a car, which means we can also take dogs out to the countryside for longer walks and adventures. Whether your dog is energetic and loves exploring or prefers a more relaxed pace, we’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. We’re genuine dog lovers and would treat your pet as if they were our We would love to look after dogs from Thursday through to Sunday. I work from home on Fridays, which means I can provide plenty of company throughout the day and take dogs out for lunchtime walks as well as morning and evening exercise. We’re very relaxed when it comes to pets and are happy for dogs to be on the sofa and feel at home with us. Our day usually starts around 7am on work-from-home days and around 8–9am at weekends, so we’re well suited to dogs that enjoy an early start as well as those who prefer a slower morning. We’re happy to tailor activities to your dog’s needs, whether that’s long countryside walks, shorter local walks, trips to the park, or simply relaxing at home. If your dog is sociable and enjoys being out and about, we’d be happy to take them to dog-friendly pubs or restaurants. Equally, if they’re more of a homebody, we’re more than happy to spend cosy evenings on the sofa with plenty of attention and cuddles. We live in a spacious one-bedroom ground-floor apartment in Birmingham’s Jewellery Quarter, with easy access to several local parks and walking routes. We enjoy getting outdoors and regularly go on walks around the local area, and we also have a car, which means we’re able to take dogs on longer walks to larger parks or out into the countryside if they enjoy exploring further afield. We’re very flexible and like to tailor our routine to each dog’s personality and needs. Whether your dog prefers a quick stroll around the block, a trip to the park, or a longer adventure, we’re happy to play it by ear and do what makes them happiest. We’re very laid-back pet lover and want dogs to feel completely at home with us. We’re happy for dogs to be on the sofa and, if permitted by their owners, on the bed too. The apartment has hard flooring throughout, making it practical, easy to keep clean, and comfortable for dogs.
About: Your dog isn’t just a pet—they’re family, and we treat them like our own! Unlike other sitters who may have multiple dogs at once, I keep our bookings limited to give your pup our full attention. We offer flexible drop-off and pick-up times and last-minute bookings for busy pet parents. Our 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!
“Liliia was brilliant. She came round before I left to ensure Ernie was comfortable with her. He can be very shy but after a few meetings and some Dreamies he trusted her completely. He was very happy when I returned having been very well looked after with food, water and treats. Liliia has a natural love and affinity with animals and her caring nature came through in every interaction with Ernie. Thank you Liliia, we hope to see you again soon!”

“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 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: 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.

“Jiale looked after my 2 cats, she is very reliable, punctual and cares about the animals she looks after. She followed all my advise on feeding, medication and care for my cats. Jiale sent me photos each day which was so reassuring and lovely to my cats while I was away. Thank you very much Jiale.”

“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.
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
