About: Like most people, I absolutely love animals! Recently, I have travelled south east Asia where I have visited dog shelters and interacted with many street animals which has inspired me to come home and spend more time giving back to our best friends. Previously, I have done house visits to walk, feed & play with dogs while their owners have been away and even completed other little jobs like watering plants to maintain their houses so they are as nice as before they left them. Also, I have my own dog who is quite timid with other people and dogs which can lead to her being reactive on walks, therefore I have the experience of taking that extra care and attention to make sure she, I and everyone else is safe whenever we are out, so if you have a dog like mine, you can be assured I will know how to look after them as well. Anytime, anywhere, if you’re in need of someone trustworthy to look after your dog and bring some more excitement into their day, I will be there. Unfortunately with having my own dog, I will not be able to bring any other animals to my home however, if needed, I will be happy to travel to feed, play, or take out any animals in their own home, I would also be available to stay overnight if necessary and will do my best to

“I cannot recommend Jade enough! She is absolutely amazing, kind and very accommodating going above & beyond for us. Frank adored her (5 month old rescue lurcher) it was the first time we’d left him with anyone & he was so comfortable with her. She took plenty of photos & was happy to update us whilst we were out & was happy to follow Franks routine and make is as easy a stay for him as possible. I felt really confident leaving Jade with Frank and will 100% be asking her to care for Frank if we need help in the future Thank you Jade!”

Your pet’s happiness and well-being are always my top priority! As a final-year Veterinary Nursing student, I do a lot of my university work from home, so I really enjoy the company of pets throughout the day. I only attend classes two days a week and have large gaps in my schedule, which gives me plenty of time to provide care and attention. During holidays and study breaks, I’m even more flexible, making pet care a natural and fulfilling part of my routine. I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort by tailoring each visit to the pet’s usual routine and personality. I offer house sitting in the pet owner’s home, which helps reduce stress and anxiety, especially for more nervous pets. I also provide free pop-in visits before the booking to help anxious dogs feel more at ease. With my veterinary training, I confidently manage pets with medical needs, including oral and injectable medications. I always maintain a clean, secure environment and provide regular updates so owners feel reassured while away.

About: I’ve had two German shepherds and a westie so I have experience with all dog sizes. I’ve also grown up with cats - but more importantly, I love dogs and cats and caring for them! If your dog is reactive or needs work with training I’m more than happy to do this on our walks or drop in. I like to provide mental and physical work for dogs and cats - it’s important animals use their brains! I currently work self-employed and freelance so I have a very flexible schedule to look after your pup. Available from 1PM every day in the local area. I will take the upmost care of your furbaby and your home when entering and leaving - if you have any notes just message me!

“Claire was wonderful with my two older dogs. After a bad experience with another sitter, it was a difficult decision to leave my dogs with somebody else but the risk was well worth it. Claire loved my dogs like her own. I've never returned from somewhere with them being more content and settled afterwards. My house was left spotless too. Claire sent lots of updates and photos and it was evident that within a few hours I'd been forgotten about as Claire had won them over!”

“Luke is a wonderful dog sitter. Our large and playful Labrador spent a few days with Luke and his 3 lovely huskies. We had lots of contact and pictures. Would highly recommend and we will book with Luke again.”

About: 👋 Hello! I would like to introduce our dynamic lovely family who love dogs and cats. We have a large house that includes a dedicated dog room for quiet space if needed. The large fenced secure garden. A field just behind our house with a small-sized, slow stream river for dogs to have fun in the water if they wish. Not only do I have an absolute love for dogs I am also acquiring professional dog trainer certification right now and have been training my both dogs for the Good Citizen Dogs scheme since they were puppies. I have trained puppies and adolescent dogs and worked with shy or stressed dogs. My golden retriever girl is a show dog so I am in dog showing world as well. I can give your dog a bath, clip nails and brush them if needed as I do grooming for my dogs regularly. Children are dog-trained as well. :) We cannot wait to meet you and your four-legged babies. I am working nights from home as a data analyst and often I am up at night as well as on days which means my and your dogs will be looked after well during days and nights. We have 24/7 house security and dog nanny camera if needed for live stream videos and photos, but since I am always at home I will have the pleasure to take photos myself. My life is all about dogs, we go for walks 2 or 3 times a day and dogs can be dogs and do dog stuff. My husband, Janis, is working nights on the road which means he is at home during the days and helps with school runs and dog care when needed. There is me and my husband and we both will look after your four-legged babies. Full house security was installed with trigger alarms on doors and windows. A large fenced secure garden. Dogs are my babies so they are not only allowed on beds and sofas but have their dog-dedicated room with plenty of beds and cages covered with blankets for a calm space. Safety gates are installed around the house. Large chest freezer if your dog is on raw food.

“Thank you so much for looking after our babies they were both happy when we got home and the house was lovely and tidy too. We got updates daily and pictures. I would definitely use Charlotte again”

About: Fully qualified in pet first aid and hold a diploma in dog walking and pet sitting; at Adore Paws, our mission is to provide exceptional, professional care tailored to each pet’s needs. Every walk, playtime and interaction will leave you adoring us from the tips of your ears to the pads of your paws 🐶 Services we offer: - Dog Walking (solo or small group walks) - Pet Pop-ins (drop in visits of varying lengths) - Overnight Pet Sitting (in owner’s home) - And more! I am fully committed to accommodating the needs of my clients and their furry friends. My aim is to establish regular clients and repeat customers by building a rolling schedule. I prefer to care for pets in their owner’s home, therefore ensuring the environment is appropriate to their needs i.e. fenced off outdoor spaces, stair gates and crates etc. Also being in a familiar environment is more settling for the pet and support the building of positive relationships. When out on walks, I carry my own leads and will use these if I do not feel confident with the leads provided by the owner i.e. if they are frayed or damaged in some way to reduce the risk of unforeseen incidents arising.

“Thank you Katy. Our dogs were looked after very well during our week away. House was also left pristine! We will definitely rebook Katy again. ?”

“What can we say?….. SUE-PERB ! Never used a service like this before and felt really nervous about letting someone stay in our home. We needn’t have worried. Sue was lovely and we felt like we’d known her for years almost straight away. Going away for a week and leaving our 16 year old Wheaten Terrier Oz with a stranger, in a strange place was not an option we relished, so we took what we considered a risk and let Sue stay with him and Luna our younger German Shepherd. Great decision. Came home to an immaculate house and two obviously well cared for dogs. They clearly loved Sue too and they’re no fools. Even smelly old Oz had had a bath a spruce up! Shall definitely ask her to help us again!”
