About: I’ve had around 10 years of experience caring for pets and have always been passionate about animals. Friends, neighbours and family regularly rely on me to look after their dogs, feeding, playtime and general care.

Pet care fits easily into my daily routine and I have a flexible schedule which allows me to give pets the time and attention they need. I’m available feeding, playtime and check-ins throughout the day, and I always make sure pets stick to their usual routine so they feel comfortable and relaxed. I always make sure pets are safe, comfortable and well looked after at all times. I carefully follow any instructions given by the owner regarding feeding, exercise and routines. I’m very attentive to pets’ behaviour and needs, and I always make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime and care while their owners are away.

“Becky is always amazing with our dogs and always shows up on time, would really recommend her!”

“Lewis has been so kind and lovely with our Cavapoo, Snoopy - both walking and offering daycare at very short notice. His love of animals shone from our first communication and I was immediately at ease (as was Snoopy). I would highly recommend Lewis, and without hesitation, we'll certainly be calling on him again soon.”

About: Diplomas: Canine behaviour and canine first aid Canine behaviour training Animal assisted therapy Animal welfare Pet bereavement therapy Hello there! For as long as I can remember growing up, we have always had a home full of animals, we never had less than three dogs at one time ranging from St Bernard's to Pomeranian’s to Dogue de Bordeaux and then of course lots of cats too, all living happily together, so you could say I am an animal enthusiast! Years of experience has given me an array of knowledge regarding training, diet, temperament and empathy to equip me for taking care of your beloved pets. Working with animals has always been a drive for me! I believe it is important to create a home from home experience to make space for the highest level of comfort, because of this I ask that during our meet and greet you let me know your training schedule and the commands that you use so that I can carry on with the things that you have been teaching them, this way they don't pick up any bad habits and they return to you happy and fulfilled. 🐾 If you have a reactive or antisocial dog that you would prefer I take on one to one I am open to discussing this with you, it is important that yours and your pets needs are met. I have a house with a fenced garden and am also close to lots of great outdoor spaces for walking and adventures. My home is suited to any needs that your animal may have, I have experience with different levels of anxieties and ailments that they may be experiencing. I will always do my best to work around your schedule, with enough advance planning your dates and time should be achievable. Just let me know! Dependent on your requirements we can discuss ways to create a safe space for your pet. I think it is important to create a plan together before hand for your peace of mind.

About: Alongside caring for my own cat, I have regularly looked after friends and family members cats and dogs. This has included feeding, providing fresh water, cleaning litter trays, taking dogs for walks, playing with pets to keep them mentally stimulated, providing companionship, and following any specific care instructions or routines. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, so I always take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I currently work full-time, but I work from home three to four days each week, which gives me flexibility to provide walks before work, during my lunch break, and after work. I am also available on weekends and can dedicate quality time to caring for pets during those periods. Working from home also means I can be responsive and reliable when arranging visits and communicating with owners. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust the person looking after your pet. I will always treat every animal as if they were my own, ensuring they receive plenty of care, patience, attention, and affection. I am reliable, responsible, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. Whether it’s an energetic dog who loves long walks or a cat who prefers quiet companionship, I will always adapt my approach to suit their individual needs and help them feel relaxed and happy while you’re away.

About: Hello, my name is Kishori and I love animals. The first picture is of my westie Seven, when we went to Cambridge and we rode on a bus which she loved. I have walked many dogs and trained them too. Having watched many dog programmes i.e. Cesar Millan and Victoria Stillwell, this was in readiness for when I found my perfect soul mate, which I did some years later, I got the best ever Westie, she was very well behaved and understood bit of sign language and Gujerati. She was very spoilt but she deserved it. My number one priority is the welfare of your pet/s, that they are looked after, walked, happy, and content. In this fast paced life that we live in whether you have to go away for work or on holiday or time spent away from your pet which can be a worry, you want to know that your pet is safe, warm and healthy and that's where I come in, I know this from experience. I had the same worries for Seven every day when I went out for work, it was always is she okay? Is she safe? She got enough food water and my only thought at the end of the day was to get home as quickly as possible to be met by a wagging tail, a quick I've missed you mum and then out for a walk. Every pet is unique and I follow instructions very well. My only downfall will be giving your pet too much kisses and cuddles. they are little precious souls that need looking after. I currently puppy sit for my friend whose puppy is 5 months old, she is a little angel, very cute and she goes to puppy training which is working wonders. I talk to all animals because they do understand from the tone of your voice what you are conveying. I have found that animals do gravitate to me. I have experience of administrating Insulin, Jenny the Westie was Diabetic and needed regular food and Insulin, when her mum was home late, I took the responsibility of weighing her food and Insulin, brave little Jenny. I have also taken care of Molly, the house cat, when her mum is away, she has a strict timetable, wake up at 7am, go out and then breakfast and then in and out all day long. Lil G is a Leopard Tortoise, took care of him when his dad went away on holiday, again, is on a strict timetable, bath at 7am, with a wash, he loves blowing bubbles which is so cute and then downstairs to the kitchen to prep breakfast, his favourite is cucumber with Calcium powder, then he'll find a corner in my bedroom and go to sleep. In the afternoon he goes for a quick walk outside, again, finds the nearest corner and stays there but he loves being taken around the house and gardens, bit of mental stimulation. I have taken care of a number of cats, all precious and all different, some shy, talkative, playful and just wonderful, I'm learning something new all the time. There's been Luna, Chester and brother Barley, Templeton, Nigel, Leela, Percy, Bert, Misty, Tilly, Charlie and Benjamin. Most recently a lovely cat called Scoots, I cared for her at her flat for 18 wonderful nights, she has medical needs which were administered proficiently, very playful especially at 2am, she had me well trained, she showed me her flat at very odd times of day or night, first it was the kitchen, living room, stairs, favourite plastic bag on the stairs and then eventually her bed. She even tried to do a new hair style but bit difficult with paws, she tried her best whilst sitting on my pillow. I also had the pleasure of caring for Zak, a retriever, good as gold, showed me his usual walking route, met my friends who he loved to bits and made everyone happy. His cat brothers and sister were wonderful, all with individual meows and brother tortoise Lil G. I recently cared for 2 lovely cats - Gucio and Orion, Gucio has stage 1 renal failure so he had medicine he needed to take which I administered, he was very playful and very mischievous, but it was lovely when he fell asleep next to me. Orion was very shy to start off with, again very handsome boy. Both boys were crazy about catnip. Thank you Hanna for the lovely edible gift. x My 2nd home boarder was a lovely cockapoo called Piper, all she wanted to do was to lick my face, chase her ball and make new dog friends and humans, but always coming back to me to see if I'm behaving myself 😱, such a sweetie x Bert and Misty are 2 lovely cats, I've cared for them before, this time it's different, Bert had medical which I made sure he got with his lickylick, mixed with his liquid meds and presented to Master B to lick up and both wanted to sit on my lap and get cuddles and scratches, Misty was bit jealous that Bert had got to my lap before she did - if looks could kill, we had a lovely time sunbathing but as always it has to come to an end 😢 but not until 9th May 😁. 🥳🥳It's been over a year since joining pawshake (May 2023), it's been an awesome year, meeting so many lovely people and their beautiful pets that I have had the privilege to care for. Thank you to everyone and I look forward to the future to the pets I haven't met yet. x🎉🎉🐶🐈‍⬛🐕‍🦺🐢 May 2024, my last day caring for Fifi, Abha, Alfie (dog babies) Baby, Coco (cat babies) Oochy, Aiko, Luka (cockatiels) and last but not least Charlee, Lush, Sugar, Siya and Luv-khush) 5 budgies, they have all welcomed me into their home and hearts. I've had the head boy Oochy checking me out, approach with caution (friend or foe) got very close to me and then today (29.5) he landed on my head, they are so intelligent- thanks Jaimini for finding me and huge thanks for all the food x Had the pleasure of keeping Millie and Jess company, both spaniels and both adorable. Their cat bro Billy came over to say hello - his purring is awesome, thanks for finding me Melita and for the food. Currently caring for Scoots again, she's a little treasure, she's a cat who has medical needs and a uncanny knack of waking you up at odd hours either for food, play or tour of her flat - yes, it's her flat folks 😁. During the day we do our own thing but in the evening we bed down and watch movies. She loves loves her belly rubs , she's such a sweetheart x she's very chatty and she has ability to scare and make me laugh at the same time 😁 Thank you Kevin and Sarah for loading the fridge with food - much appreciated and thank you Oliver for visiting us. I had a 2nd booking from Jaimini, mother to 3 dogs, 2 cats, 3 cockatiels and 5 gorgeous budgies. The dogs weren't there so Coco and Baby (cats) loved the attention. The best was when Oouchy the head boy cockatiel flew and sat on my head, not once but twice and on my knees twice, he was chewing on my phone and iPad - I have been accepted :-) and blessed that such delicate creatures can be comfortable around humans and me. July 2024 - I got to care for a lovely British short called Luna. Luna is very shy but on the first day, she came out from under the bed and she was waiting for me on the landing, it truly was a OMG moment, I took loads of videos to send her family and they were super thrilled too. She was very happy to walk past me and for me to walk past her, made my week. July 2024 I had the pleasure of caring for Teddy a handsome Pomeranian. On Tuesday 16th, Myself, Nic (my friend) and master Teddy drove to Ashbourne so that teddy's mom and dad who got married, could have photos with their boy and Teddy was super thrilled to see his mom and dad. It's always heart-breaking to leave them when the booking ends but I hope I see Teddy again. July 2024, a repeat booking for brothers Chester and barley (cats) only got to see barley - very handsome boy and playful. August 2024, I received a repeat booking for Bert and Misty, Gucio and Orion, all lovely cats and super friendly and just the best. I know Gucio's mum worries about him (he has health issues) but she's relaxed and calm knowing that her babies are well cared for, I send them daily updates, pics and videos. September 2024 - I had a new client who had the most adorable Chihuahua called Zorro, I cared for Zorro for 4 days, he was scared to start off with but I made him feel relaxed, he's such a sweetie pie. October 2024, new booking from a lovely lady called Stella, she had a husky/wolf type dog called Fred, he walked just like a wolf and he was so lovely. He liked to sleep outside and had the sweetest temperament. I've have also cared for chickens and more cats. November 2024 - I became a member of Trusted House Sitter, this is to broaden my experience with different people, their pets and their needs. My first sit with THS was with 3 generations of miniature poodles (Lupin, Pip and baby Cass). They did everything together and lying on the bed they looked like one big ball of fluff. Again, all so sweet. it look them a day to cuddle with me and to sleep with me. My 2nd sit with THS was with 2 adorable Scottie dogs called Finlay and Charlie, again, very handsome boys and followed me everywhere especially when I was cooking. 2nd night and I had both boys sleeping on the bed, it was a case of 'where do I sleep'?. I hope I see them again. December 2024 - I now walk a handsome dachshund called Pi, he had a op on his spine so lifting Pi must be done gently and keeping his spine straight but he's so happy and knows what he likes especially on walks. He's know as The Sheriff because he walks like he owns the streets, he's particular about food on the pavement - not on his watch. He's currently recovering from a bad leg which he's getting physio but hopefully he'll be back patrolling the streets. December 2024 saw me care for a handsome boy called Milo, he's a Shih Tzu 4yrs old, he was such a happy puppy, he walked just like mick jagger, he had his swagger, he was so good on walks and wanted to say hello to everyone. January 2025 - had a dog walking booking for Ruby, a beautiful, happy and energetic dog. She is a sprockadoodle. January 2025 - cared for Zorro again but for 9 days, he's 14.5 yrs old, doesn't walk far but loves being carried around in my scarf, he loves it. Towards the end he gave me a break and was very loving and just wanted to sit on my lap. February 2025, cared for my clients 13 pets (2 cats, 3 dogs, 3 cockatiels and 5 budges). All lovely and great on walks especially Alffie who doesn't usually go on walks. February 2025, cared for the handsome German shepherd Romeo through THS, he's such a gentle giant and great on walks, he loves his grandma so much. He loved his bum massages and he was very accommodating when putting on his halti. He came up Wednesday morning and put his nose under the duvet, he was checking to see if I was alive which was so sweet. He wore a halti because he didn't like dogs who barked at him (he was attacked a few times), but when off the lead he was happy to chase sticks but not bring them back lol. February 2025 - Cared for 2 Guinea pigs, Bertie (the shy one) and Luna (the golden child), I cleaned their crib everyday, fresh water, food, hay and salad. They were gorgeous and their squeaks were so adorable and they let me stroke them whilst they had a treat. April 2025 - home boarded a beautiful maltipoo called Nala for 3 days, she's so friendly and so adorable and happy. Took her to Everard's meadow and she loved it, playing with all the dogs and living her best life, she's back again in July for home boarding but for much longer - I'm so happy. May 2025 - THS sit - I had the pleasure of caring for Barry and Ralph. Barry is a Newfie and Ralph is a pug. Barry was such a gentle giant, my worry was when he would run towards me hoping he would stop in time, which he did, he did step on my foot a few times and his head was bigger than a football but gorgeous. Ralph was super cool and loved playing with Barry. When Barry walked it was like a silver back gorilla and everyone knew them. I did have concerns because Barry was so big but my fears disappeared as soon as I saw Barry. There were also 2 indoors cats (Ivy and GeeBee), who slept on the bed with me, there were 2 outdoor cats, everyday putting down food and clean water. I am now teddy's full time dog walker, he loves his tennis balls, barking, scaring people especially people wearing hi vis jackets, they are for the taking. He loves a lovely white Pomeranian, we have seen them twice. Not forgetting his treats and his favourite shop called Bella's Pantry. May 2025 - pet sat for Daisy, a beautiful Pomeranian (she's teddy's girlfriend) she was great in the car when we picked up teddy and they were so sweet together, she's a proper little girl. May 25 UPDATE ON PI - I was informed by his dad that Pi didn't have the use of his left back leg so walking was out of the question, as the weeks went by, both legs were semi-paralysed, I told his dad to get a stroller for Pi so he could be outside and survey his town which he did and Pi loves his stroller and going to the community garden and meeting people, he's such a brave boy. Rest In Peace 11.2024, it is with sad regret that I was informed that Scoots got so ill she crossed the bridge, I'll never see her and play with her. RIP beautiful Scoots x 17.7.25 I was informed by Elizabeth that her precious Bert had passed away, he was such a good cat, so gentle and gorgeous, Misty his sister misses him terribly as do I xxx7xxx. Sept 2025 I was informed by Ann, Zorro's mum, that he had passed, my brave boy who I will miss terribly xxx7xxx I was informed by Pi's dad, that he had passed due to mobility problems, i took him fo a last walk in his pushchair on 29th July 2025, walked through the streets that he patrolled like a good sheriff would, meet some lovely ladies at the community garden, he loved the attention. xxx7xxx *** August 2025, cared for 3 Lagotta Romangnolo, all girls, all cute and cuddly. This breed originates from Italy, they are used for seeking out truffles but these girls have a totally different lifestyle. Willow is the eldest and needed one tablet with her breakfast, Isla and Boo had different food too which was all measured out. It was so nice because willow slept with me and the 2 girls have their bedroom downstairs. I hope I see them again. Dec 2025 Cared for a long haired chihuahua called Benny, white as the snow. Great on the lead but he had me well trained with treats. Dec2025-Jan 2-26 Cared for 3 dogs in Thurnby whilst their parents went to Portugal. Henry (G Retriever), Duke (black lab) & Alfie (pug aka the BOSS). Alfied followed me everywhere to make sure i was ok. Henry slept in the room with me and like work, 6.20am he would walk to the side of the bed and proceed to bark, waking his 2 brothers, time for a quick nip outside and then back to bed. All very calm and loving. Jan 2026 I was covering for another dog walker, Betti is a blind dog, both eyes succumbed to Glaucoma but that didn't stop Betti living life to the max. Her daily walk were in the fields, i would talk and sing to her so she knew where i was at all times. If she didn't know where i was, she would stand still and smell the air for my scent, beautiful and clever girl. Feb 2026 Cared for Rolo (Cockapoo) & Mango (cat - his sister) whilst their parents went to India. Rolo was very relunctant to walk too far from home. He would walk to his friends house (kylo). I did introduce Rolo to Riley & BB (both westies) and Rosie (Yorkie). They got on so well but Rolo stayed very close to me, i gave him all the encouragement and love to make him safe. At bedtime, they both slept on the bed with me. March 2026 Pet sat Pudding (Cockapoo) & Molly his sister cat. Pudding was great off the lead, his mum was worried but she had no cause. Took him to Knighton Park where he had the best time, he would run off into the distance but he'd coming running back when called. Molly was an angel to care for. April 2026 Most of April was caring for 2 Shelties (Zara - 12, Duke - 6). Zara had meds she had to take everyday which were hidden in either chicken or cheese. Zara was not allowed ouit for walks as she had an op on her thigh but i did take her out on the front lawn.
