About: I’ve spent years caring for my three Cocker Spaniels, giving me hands-on experience with a breed that’s energetic, affectionate, and full of personality. From daily walks and grooming to managing routines, training, and lots of playtime, I’m comfortable handling dogs with high energy and big hearts. I know how to keep pups happy, safe, and engaged, and I bring that same level of patience and care to every dog I look after. I’m happy to be available to look after your adorable pets any evening after I finish work as an apprentice at 3pm or on any weekends! Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. With years of hands-on experience caring for my three Cocker Spaniels, I’ve learned how to create a calm, structured, and secure environment for dogs of all personalities. I keep a close eye on routines, body language, and comfort levels to ensure every pup feels safe and understood.

“Happy to recommend Neil!!! Took the time to understand requrements and make a visit in advance. Asked lots of questions. Also, made sure that everything was good before leaving! Lovely couple, regular text updates and most importantlyly we came home to very happy dogs!!!”

About: I've been around animals all my life, coming from a farming family. I have owned pet cats and dogs along with other small animals. I currently have a Border Collie and a Romanian Rescue who are both very different characters. I have also cared for other people's dogs such as friends and a local breeder when I was younger. I am a full time dog walker and pet carer. I work at least 5 days per week but am flexible which days I work. I am able to offer overnight petsitting in the owners home but as I work during the day I can offer drop-in visits during my working day to allow for toileting and feeding. I am happy to care for dogs or cats in their own home. Giving care as directed by the owner, making sure their care is as smooth and as close to normal as possible. My own dogs are much loved members of our family. I have a high energy working breed and a rescue dog who both have very different needs physically and emotionally. I have cared for a variety of breeds of dig and cat.

About: Hi! I'm Kelci, your local dog-crazy Lady: l am a qualified, and experienced dog walker with full insurance and a whole lot of love for our four-legged friends. Whether your pup needs a fun adventure or a calm stroll, you can count on me to treat them like one of my own. Reliable, caring, and totally obsessed with dogs - your best friend is in safe hands with me! To me this is more than just a job—it’s a part of my everyday life. As someone who currently works part time, I’ve dedicated the rest of my time and energy to doing what I love most: caring for animals. Whether it’s a morning walk, midday visit, or evening cuddle session, I’m available every day of the week to ensure your pets are happy, exercised, and well looked after. This isn’t just a side hustle for me it’s the foundation of the full-time pet care business I’m building. I take pride in forming real bonds with the animals I care for and providing peace of mind to pet parents. Each day, I’m grateful to spend time doing something meaningful, and I’m excited to continue growing this passion into a full-time career. When I dog sit, my top priority is making sure your pup feels safe, relaxed, and right at home—because they are at home. Staying in their own familiar environment helps reduce stress and keeps their routine consistent. There’s no unfamiliar kennel, no new smells or sounds—just their cozy bed, favorite toys, and the comfort of home. I treat every dog like my own, giving them plenty of love, attention, and care while you’re away. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or just hanging out together, I make sure they feel secure and content until you’re back.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, including caring for puppies after my dog had a litter when I was a teenager, so I’m confident with young dogs and their needs. I also have experience caring for senior dogs and understand the extra patience, gentleness, and attention they require, having supported two family dogs through their later years. I treat every dog as if they were my own, with genuine love, understanding, and care. I work in a school, so I’m fully available during school holidays and weekends. Weekday care is also possible for dogs who are okay being left during the day, with walks and plenty of attention in the morning and evening. “I follow each pet’s usual routine and prioritise safety and comfort in my home or the owner’s. Having an escape-artist husky has taught me how to manage energetic and determined dogs.”

“This was our first time using Millie and we would definitely use her again! She was lovely and our pup clearly loved her!”

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. ?”

About: I have 5 years worth of hands on experience working with beloved pets. I have worked with everything from dogs to snakes. I provide a range of services from walks to pet sits. I offer holiday care for small pets ( hamsters etc). If there’s anything you need don’t be afraid to ask! I consider this business my world. So I offer services 24/7 everyday of the week. There’s nothing that I wouldn’t do for our pets. I’m extremely flexible and understanding. I am trained in animal care. From completing my animal management diploma to my zoo biology degree. I have learnt everything there is to know about animals from their dietary needs to their physiology.

“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!”
