“Benjamin has been great. He came to meet the cat and me before the booking to make sure he had all the key information. He kept in touch regularly while I was away and was very responsive to messages. I returned to a happy cat and a spotless house. Thank you Benjamin.”

About: I have worked within a canine nutritionalist and behaviourist establishment for a year before it shuts down, moving to an alpaca farm. 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'm currently in university so am free any day of the week excluding Tuesdays and Fridays. I prefer to work with a couple days prior knowledge of bookings but I can work last minute walks if this planning isn't possible I have worked in a canine behaviourist establishment in which we held monthly organised dog walks, many times I was in charge of leading and planning this event. 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 dog's 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
“Natalia was amazing and really made me feel at ease leaving my little boy in her care. She sent me lots of pictures whilst she looked after him, kept me updated and reassured me that he was being very well taken care of. She also left the house spotless as if she hadn't even stayed - I will definitely use her again. Thank you so so much.”

About: Lived with a dog for two years and trusted by friends and family to walk, sit, and care for their dogs while away, providing reliable and attentive care. I’m currently working full time, but I will be available most of the weekends and bank holidays upon booking. Flexible for after business hours on weekdays. I live in a pet-friendly apartment with a green area downstairs for walks and breaks, and I always follow owners’ routines to keep pets safe and comfortable.
About: I’ve taken care of over 9 cats in the span of 3 years. Some of my own, some of my friends and family. I show all my pets love and care and respect their needs if they want space. I have great intuition and always know if a cat needs or wants something. I regularly feed, bathe, and walk my own cats aswell as my friends’. I can also administer medication. I currently work from home full time so am flexible and can work around my 9-5! Ideally after 5 or weekends however, if you need more flexibility- please let me know! I have an amazingly friendly cat that will welcome new pets into the household. I have a plethora of cat toys, scratch posts, treats, and other stimuli for lots of entertainment and fulfilment while your pets stay with me.
About: I ask the right questions and provide the right care. Your dog's specific needs, at any age, are my priority. I've had beloved pets for 90% of my life and have always been the go-to pet sitter for friends and family. My part-time remote work gives me a highly flexible schedule, meaning I can easily accommodate your needs - whether for midday walks or overnight boarding, any day of the week. Despite being located in the middle of Digbeth, my building has three private green yards for frequent doggy walks and a big park located nearby.
“Chi was a superstar dogsitter: reliable, responsible, and loving towards our senior dog. She sent pictures throughout and left our house spotless. Chi followed our instructions to the letter, including administering fairly complex medicine. Communication was superb too. Highly recommended and will definitely book with her again!”

“Tatiana is absolutely amazing and I would 100% recommend her! She took great care of my dog Evie and spoiled her with lots of cuddles and walks. Evie seemed super happy when we came back. Tatiana gives updates frequently and appropriately and is very responsive to messages. Could not have been any better”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I was young. Life would be so boring and completely pointless if it wasn’t for these beautiful furry friends! I currently work from home, so I have plenty of time to be there for whatever they need. I love walks so taking a furry friend will be a breeze. My home provides a calm, secure environment with space, cleanliness, routine, and constant supervision, ensuring any animal’s safety, comfort, enrichment, and well-being at all times.
About: Hello! My name is Vanda and I have been taking care of cats and dogs since from an early age. I am an animal lover and I love to see them happy and comfortable. Currently I don't work full-time so I have plenty of time to play and care for your pet. I am available during week days as well as weekends. I will be sending frequent updates with pictures and videos too :) - I have my own cat, Yuki. She is neutered and vaccinated. She is a bit shy at first but can easily adapt to other friendly cats in case you need boarding. - In case of boarding, your cat will have access to all divisions in the flat and it's cat prepared. Lots of toys and a cat tree to keep him/her entertained, safe access to windows to watch "cat tv", litter box scooped every single use, food and water bowls regularly changed and in a safe place. I have also a supply of treats that I'm gladly to share with your cat. - For drop in visits and house sitting, I will clean bowls and refill them with food and water. I will clean litter boxes, pick up poo and clean other mess your pet might have done. I will also play with your pet if he's feeling playful, lots of cuddles if he enjoys it and give him some treats :)
“I cannot say enough wonderful things about this wonderful woman! She took care of my cats like they were her own, kept me updated constantly and took away ALL the anxiety I had about hiring a cat sitter! This was my first time using Rover and Nikki was spectacular! She was super interactive with them and gave them so much love and attention I couldn’t ask for more. I had no issues whatsoever and neither did the kitties! Thank you so very much again Nikki I’ll give them a cuddle for you :))”

“Anastasiia and Alex,” her husband, looked after our dog over Christmas for which we were very grateful. They sent us regular updates, we got back to find a calm dog and a spotless house. I would definitely recommend them and use them again.”

About: I’ve always had dogs in my family home, moved to this city as a new venture and love any animals to fill my spare time I work full time. Generally able to look after pets from Friday evening across the weekend. Some Saturdays I may be unavailable. Get in touch ! Regular toilet walks would be provided as I am currently living in a pet friendly Apartment building. I will always be in the apartment or out walking with the pet.
About: I’ve looked after dogs for as long as I can remember. From family pets to neighbours dogs I’m always outside with animals getting fresh air. I’m currently a student in University so I have a lot of time evenings and weekdays to look after your precious fur babies. I’m a very active outdoor person so it makes sense for me to do it with a fur buddy too! I have a fenced in garden and live close to many parks and dog friendly areas. I will work with you for the best care possible for your pet!
“Well what can I say about Alison. Booked her service for the first time, oh my word she didn’t disappoint. Rather she impressed me beyond my expectations. She was so down to earth eager to learn about the dog and made sure to dot the i’s and cross the t’s. Though Hunter is such a big dog she was so comfortable with him and Hunter not for a moment stressed out with her. I’ll defo recommend her for any type and size of dog she’ll do a great job. She loves animals in general which is reflecting in her job. Many thanks Allison for taking good care of Hunter, look forward to seeing you soon to sit for Hunter. Regards! Vik.”

“Alex was brilliant with our large, reactive rescue dog Zuluf and two cats. She bonded with Zuluf really quickly and obviously understands dog behaviour incredibly well. We did a few meet and greets and a walk before the house sit, so that Alex could get to know our dog and see the house. Alex gave regular updates including photos and videos while we were away. I would recommend Alex to anyone who has a rescue dog with reactivity.”

“Gina was very professional and provided us with regular updates when she looked after our senior dachshund. He has some particular needs due to his age which she was great at accommodating. Would definitely recommend and use again.”
“Highly recommend Julianna for dog sitting! She looked after our boys so well and they looked like they had so much fun with her!! Thank you so much, especially for accepting a booking so last minute! X”

This was the second time Alex sat for us. She was very accommodating with my last minute slight change of start time. We had plenty of photos and videos with updates on how the animals were getting on. The house was left clean and tidy. I would definitely recommend Alex to anyone with a reactive rescue dog and or cats and would happily ask her to house sit for us again.

Frida has been amazing. Had a lovely pre-meet to discuss Sootys needs. First time I have used a professional ( usually I have friends or family). She updated me regularly and sent me pictures and videos. I came home to a very happy and content cat. My flat also looks immaculate. Would highly recommend, her love for cats shows. Have rebooked already x

I was in need of a last minute dog sitter and Megan came to my rescue. She came over prior to her stay, to meet my 2 hyper boston terriers and myself. The boys took to her instantly, as did I. Lovely young woman. She took great care of my boys and home while I was away. I was sent regular updates and photos. On my return, I could tell my boys enjoyed their time with Megan. Had they not had a nice time they would have been distant, sad and sulky with me. Megan took great care of them and my home was super clean and tidy. Would highly recommend. Thank you so much Megan.

Hannah did a wonderful job looking after our old dog Terza, for which we are very grateful. She is a lovely person, and we were very happy to hand over the key when she visited us a few days before the dog sit. While we were away she sent us regular updates with photos, and all was fine when we got home. We will definitely be contacting her again next time we need a dog sitter. Thanks again Hannah!

I’m so glad we were able to book with Natalia. She’s an absolute gem with Diesel. Diesel is a big boy and I felt at ease knowing she comfortable with him. She checked in regularly and sent photos to let us know Diesel was happy and well taken care of. I’m very pleased with her services and look forward to next time. Can’t recommend her enough!

This was the 1st occasion that we have left our 20 month old dog in the care of someone she did not previously know. When Jiale was introduced to our dog, she immediately reassured us with her caring and compassionate approach, and put our dog at ease. Throughout the day, Jiale provided us with regular updates and videos, which we really appreciated, and it was apparent that our dog was relaxed and enjoying the day. We are extremely grateful to Jiale and definitely plan to call upon her to look after our dog again.
Our whippet Scout had a great day with Scarlet, we felt really comfortable leaving Scout in her capable hands. Scarlet is friendly and quick to respond to messages, she kept us updated throughout the day. Scout can be nervous, and we trusted that Scarlet knew how to deal with this. We'll definitely be booking again.
