About: As a veterinary medicine university student, I can guarantee your pets will be in safe hands with me! I worked in a doggy daycare for a year in 2024 and have volunteered in 2 vets’ practices, giving me plenty of experience to care for your beloved pets. I am a previous animal management student (achieved level 3 Distinction), I am very knowledgeable about care for dogs and cats and their needs, which I would be honoured to provide to your pets. I have had a passion for dogs and cats since I was very young and would be honoured to give the care your pets deserve. I am currently free every day of the week, however come September 21st I will be in University Mon-Thur therefore I am free Fri-Sun after that date. When caring for pets in their own home, I will always prioritise their safety, comfort and wellbeing. I will follow the owner’s instructions carefully and make sure doors, gates and the home are secure to prevent pets from escaping or getting into anything unsafe. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, so I take time to build trust at their pace and provide plenty of positive attention, reassurance and companionship. I will keep their usual feeding, exercise, medication and toilet routines as consistent as possible to minimise stress. I will also make sure their environment stays clean, calm and comfortable, while giving them appropriate enrichment and allowing them space when they need it. I will keep owners updated with messages and photos (upon your approval) so that you can feel confident that your pet is safe, happy and well cared for while your are away.

About: I have been surrounded by dogs my entire life. Sally was the first - a Jack Russel cross with fox terrier (we think). She was with us until the grand age of 20. During this time we also had Lucy an older rescue dog. I now have Simba, who is a crazy springer Spaniel. My dog is my baby and I would treat your dog with the same care and attention. If you have specific requirements or you have any questions please feel free to message. I am currently working as part of the emergency services however I will be leaving in August for a role with a better work-life- balance. I will not show my self available if I am not able to dedicate the time for your dog. I am flexible to you and your dogs needs. I am available to look after your dog in your home and if you just need your dog walking whilst you are at work, ill or otherwise unavailble then that is where I can assist.

“Sarah was able to facilitate walking Maple last minute and was absolutely fabulous! Sarah not only walked Maple but filled up her water bowl and gave her a kong following the walk. We loved all the photo updates, Maple looked so happy on her walk! Highly recommend, thank you Sarah x x”

About: I have two very well trained and behaved dogs, Wispa and Mavis, and lifelong experience of dog ownership. I can accommodate all types of friendly dog into usual walks and I drive to a large enclosed field at least once daily, with a separate park walk too. Love dogs, enclosed garden, won't be left any longer than you feel comfortable. Your dogs will have their own room at night I work at home so I'm always around the house. Lunchtime walk nearby and a long evening off lead walk (if allowed) at an enclosed field is our routine, as my dogs have a lot of energy to burn off. Dogs have an enclosed back garden, and I have a large front garden too. Your dog will have its own room at night away from our dogs. Lots of attention and won't be left any longer than you say. I have two dogs, Wispa and Mavis, who I see all day working from home. I walk my dogs at least twice daily, lunchtime and evening, and they are seldom left. I have a car so drive out for a walk every evening in an enclosed space to throw a ball. I have always owned dogs and have experience with many breeds and sizes. My spare room will be your dog's in the evening for the stay, away from my dogs.

About: I have two cats and one dog of my own, so I truly understand how much pets mean to their families. I grew up with cats and have cared for them my whole life — from playful kittens to older, more independent cats. I also volunteer at a local doggy day care, where I help look after dogs of all breeds and sizes. On top of that, I take my own dog to training classes, so I’m confident handling dogs with different personalities and energy levels. Whether it’s keeping your cats comfortable at home or making sure your dog gets plenty of exercise and fun, I treat every pet like my own — with patience, care, and lots of love. I work full-time for the NHS on a bi-weekly shift pattern, so my schedule stays the same every two weeks. This means I know exactly when I’m available in advance, and I can plan regular or one-off bookings with plenty of notice. I keep my calendar updated so you always know when I’m free for dog walks, cat visits, or last-minute help. My consistent routine means your pet’s care will always be reliable and stress-free. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I have experience handling animals in different environments — from my own home with my two cats and dog, to volunteering at a busy doggy day care. I know how to keep pets calm, secure, and happy, whether we’re out on a walk, playing at home, or just having a quiet cuddle. You can trust that I’ll always follow your instructions exactly — from feeding routines and medication to special quirks that make your pet feel at ease. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages, so you always know how your pet is doing. I understand how important it is to leave your furry family member with someone reliable, caring, and responsible — and I promise to treat them like my own in a safe, loving environment

About: My doggie died a few months back after 14 years , grown up around dogs & horses! Previous dog sitting & walking neighbourhood dogs! I have looked after dogs from puppies, to elderly dogs, it’s part of my nature and comes very naturally! I call myself the dog whisperer:) I am self employed, moved from London to Darwen. So I move my own schedule around and I find myself very bored most of the time. I feel a big gap in my life currently since my dog passed away, and would really love to get back into looking after dogs! I live in a 3 bedroom house, pretty much on my own. My partner works full time, 6 days a week. I have access to a lot of space , and a fenced garden. Easy access to beautiful countryside walks.

About: Growing up our house was home to a number of different breeds of dogs that we loved and cared for very much. I've had a good exposure to varying temperaments and behaviours. Currently I'm a med student who attends university in Bristol Monday to Friday and the rest of my time is usually spent at home studying. I’m based in Bedminster but I have a car I can use if needed to drive out a little further for any dog walking or house-sitting requests.

About: I have looked after so many of my family and friends dogs so I have plenty of experience with different sizes and temperaments of animals and am equipped to take care of them. I love dogs and thought this would be a great way to spend my time while at university away from my dogs at home. I’m currently a student at the University of Surrey doing paramedic science and am in Tuesday and Friday so have plenty of free time during the week. I take care of my dogs and for family members and friends taking them out for walks, feeding them and playing with them inside and out.

“Louis was great with Minnie, she is wary of unfamiliar people but took to Louis straight away and she really enjoyed her walk she's nice and settled now! I booked last minute and Louis was very accommodating, I will definitely book with you again, appreciate it thank you 😊”

“Jade was amazing with Caesar, she came to meet him in the week before taking him out so he was familiar with her, and we knew he would be in safe hands with Jade! She took him on a few walks and sent lots of pictures of him having the best time and hope he can play out with her again soon!”

About: We have taken care of dogs and cats since we were both in our teens, we are both animal lovers and will treat your animals like they are our own. We have have both owned a number of different breeds from small dogs such as Jack Russell’s to big dogs like huskies and we have a lot of experience with staffy’s. We are both trained in basic doggie first aid and CPR as well as fully insured ⛑️ so you can rest assured your dogs are in safe hands. Pet sitting and walking is my full time job and my partner works part time so we are both available most of the time. We don’t walk on Sundays. I have a back tat that has high walls and a high fence. We have the best of both World as we do not currently live together so we can accommodate dogs that do not get on with other dogs as Ella can stay either of our homes. We are fully insured for Dog walking and pet sitting and we can provide the proof of this.

About: Lifelong dedication to caring for cats and dogs, backed by extensive personal experience. Regularly house-sitting for friends and family has honed my skills in providing attentive and reliable care. My track record includes successfully retraining older stray cats for happier, more sociable lives, and assisting with the litter training and feeding of multiple young puppies at my local RSPCA branch. Pet care seamlessly integrates into my weekly routine. I work full time as a hybrid project manager which affords me the flexibility to work from home three to four days a week, enabling me to provide attentive care to pets throughout the day. With a full clean driving license and no major commitments, I can easily accommodate pet sitting appointments and ensure that each pet receives the care and attention they deserve. When caring for pets in my home or a pet owner's home, safety, trust, and creating a comfortable environment are my top priorities. In my Mellor home, I have a large house with plenty of space for pets to roam and play. While we have a spacious garden, I am vigilant about supervising pets to ensure their safety, especially considering the adjacent road. Rest assured, I never leave a pet unsupervised in the garden. I maintain a clean and hygienic environment, free from hazards, to keep pets safe and healthy while providing plenty of love and attention.

“Fab as always. Came to my rescue when someone else let me down at the last minute. Lovely pics and great walk. Thank you xx”
