Excellent from start to finish. Hana turned up on time and took our dog Tink for long walk as instructed. Sent pictures to the app so we could see what was happening. We have already made future bookings with Hana 10/10

About: I've taken care of cats and dogs of different breeds and other animals since a young age. Neighbours, friends and close family have all asked me to take care of, feed and give attention to their animals to which I performed precisely. I am currently caring for my partner as she is heavily pregnant and am not currently working a 9-5 due to the care that she requires and as the pregnancy has caused a lot of unexpected difficulties it is safer for me to remain closer to home. I house 3 in door cats, their needs and requirements are met on a daily basis, playtime divided evenly between the 3, constant cuddles and comfort from myself and partner, constant litter tray supervision, regular biscuit bowl, water and wet food throughout the day.

About: A loving home-from-home dog-sitting home with two playful miniature dachshunds who love making new friends. Your dog will be cared for as one of our own, with plenty of love, playtime, and attention. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. I’m currently working a small part time job following maternity leave, which means I’m home alot of the time and able to give your dog plenty of attention, care, and companionship alongside my own two dogs. Pets in my home are treated like part of the family. I have a fully fenced back garden for safe outdoor time, and two lovely miniature dachshunds who enjoy having company. We go on regular walks around the cemetery and enjoy trips to the park, with plenty of playtime, routine, and lots of cuddles included free of charge.

About: I have both had dogs since our childhood, and currently have two friendly cocker spaniels. All my dog experience has been from pups, I even acted as midwife for my next door neighbours bitch giving birth 3 years ago! My location has a large country park at the end of the street, and woodland behind me which I manage as a volunteer warden. I have a dog friendly rear garden and my cockers love drinking from the barrel water feature. I have very tolerant pets and they happily engage with other visiting dogs,and a previous neighbours cat. I have an engaging daily routine for them, so much so I'm convinced my dogs can tell the time, when their next activity is due. I am a stay at home foster-dad, and my wife works, sometimes from home. I volunteer in my local community woodlands, and other institutions throughout the day but I estimate our dogs are not at home for more than 3 hours alone. Apart from a clean and secure rear garden, my home is partitioned in such a way that a scared visitor could have seclusion if required. I do have a crate in the kitchen, and my dogs use it for privacy/ sleep ( door open). If your dog would be anxious at night, then I can keep my dogs upstairs with me or they can remain in the kitchen to keep their visitor company. Whichever works.

We have been using Janet 2-4 times per week to do an hour drop in session with our puppy for over a month now. We get feedback throughout and following the sessions and he seems comfortable with her on all the photos. We will be continuing to use her to come and visit him so he’s not on his own all day while we’re at work.

About: Hi! I’m 28 years old and have grown up with dogs my whole life, so being around them feels completely natural to me. I absolutely love dogs—they really are the best companions, and I enjoy spending time walking, playing, and making sure they feel happy and comfortable. Whether your dog needs a relaxed stroll or a more energetic walk, I’m happy to adapt to their needs and personality. I also have experience walking dogs of all shapes and sizes at Manchester dog home, in which I used to volunteer through work. I currently work full time Monday to Friday mainly 8:30-5, but can be flexible (7:30-4) etc. I work from home on Monday and Friday. Flexible times over lunch that can range from 1-2 hours dependant on hours worked etc. Not looking to provide pet sitting due to the dog we own not being the best around dogs coming into the house. However we look after her well (juniper - staff) and take on regular walks

About: I've always had a genuine love for animals and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine and needs. I take the time to get to know each pet so they feel safe, comfortable and cared for while you're away. Whether it's a playful puppy, an independent cat, or a senior pet who needs a little extra patience and attention, I provide calm, compassionate care tailored to them. I'm happy to stick to feeding schedules, administer basic medications if needed, provide plenty of exercise and enrichment, and most importantly, give lots of affection and reassurance. I know how important it is to trust someone with a beloved family member, so I'll always treat your pets as if they were my own. I'll also keep you updated with regular messages and photos, so you can relax knowing they're happy and well looked after. I work from home, which means I'm available throughout the day to provide plenty of attention, companionship and care. Whether your pet enjoys regular walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, they'll never be left feeling lonely. My flexible schedule allows me to accommodate most routines and give pets the time and attention they deserve. Your pet's safety, comfort and happiness are my top priorities. My home is clean, tidy and smoke-free indoors, with a secure fenced garden for supervised outdoor time and play. Larger dogs are welcome to enjoy the spacious downstairs living areas and garden, although the upstairs is kept off-limits for them. I'm lucky to live close to plenty of lovely walking routes, green spaces and adventure spots, perfect for keeping dogs active and engaged. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, gentle strolls or simply relaxing at home, I'll tailor their care to suit their needs. I also share my home with one friendly indoor cat (Koby the Bengal), so it's important that visiting pets are comfortable around cats. We are open to separating them for some shorter stays. There are no breed or size preferences, but for the safety and wellbeing of everyone, I can only accept pets that are non-aggressive and well behaved in the home environment. Most importantly, your pet will receive lots of affection, attention and companionship throughout their stay, day or night, cuddles are always included!

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was a young child, I have had dogs all my life and started looking after other peoples pets at around 16, I have two of my own large rescue dogs that come with their own issues so I am well experienced with animals with nerves. I understand pets that are shy as I have looked after my aunties pets that struggle with anxiety and we have built a bond overtime. I have experience with slightly larger breeds such as male staffies and pit bulls as I have grown up with them since I was 7, I have also looked after puppies before (less than 1 years old, not less than a month old etc.) I am willing and capable to care of a young pup. I have looked after many cats and understand some are not as sociable, I am patient. I am no stranger to being nibbled by puppies and giving them extra play time / longer walks to tire them out, I also understand older dogs need a more relaxed approach. I have recently finished college and I have much more spare time, as such an animal enthusiast I figured this would be the perfect opportunity. I wake up early and complete daily chores around the house and feeding / walking my own pets. I also sell online so I will often be posting parcels, I am 18 with a full driving licence and my own vehicle so transport is no issue! I am available all throughout the day. I have been trusted multiple times with peoples house keys and being able to let myself in / lock up their homes to watch over their pets. Our garden is fenced off and pretty decent space wise, we also have toys at home that have never been touched as our dog is not interested, we have a large crate if necessary and other dog beds, we have a guest room that can be used for your pet. We always have treats and multiple water bowls available. The back garden is safe and we do not take the dogs on the front garden unless they are on a lead.

About: I have a genuine passion for dogs and providing them with the care, attention, and compassion they deserve. As a physiotherapist, I bring a strong understanding of wellbeing, patience, and attentive care into everything I do displays qualities that naturally extend to looking after animals. I’m also planning to further my studies in animal physiotherapy, which reflects my long term commitment to working closely with and supporting animals. I regularly look after dogs for friends and family, so I’m confident handling different personalities and needs. I enjoy keeping fit and active, which means I’m always happy to provide walks, playtime, and plenty of engagement to keep dogs happy and healthy. I work from home, giving me a high level of flexibility throughout the day to provide consistent care and attention. I’m able to use my days off during the week as well as weekends to offer reliable and dedicated services. I take the responsibility of caring for someone else’s pet very seriously and always aim to create a safe, loving, and enriching environment for them. I am currently working flexi - work from home as a consultant physiotherapist this in turn gives me plenty of time throughout the week/weekend to give your pet my undivided attention. I live in a secure top floor flat with plenty of out door space close by. No other animals live at the property so if your pet is quite shy or does not get on with others this will be no problem at all. I will be able to provide plenty outdoor time, regular checks and unlimited cuddles (If that’s what they like).

About: I've just recently lost my gorgeous little Boston, winston and am missing him so much, so thought it would be an amazing opportunity to take care of and cuddle lots of other doggies until I am ready to get another. I had winston for 12 years and loved him like my child. I trained him from a puppy and then took care of him and gave him his medication and lots of care in his senior years. I was always brought up around dogs and genuinely love them more than most people. You can be guaranteed your fur babies will get a lot of love and care with me. I'm a teacher so am available at weekends or during school holidays for boarding. I can do drop ins and walks in the evenings on top of this. I dont have any children or other pets so your doggy will get my undivided attention. I treat them like children so they are very welcome on the couch and on the bed with me etc. I live near big playing fields and also have a garden.

Vickie has been an absolute superstar with her sitting. She gained Snowflakes trust and despite being hissed at for the first few days, by the end of the first week she was being cuddled up with. Vickie left my house clean and tidy for me to come home to. Vickie also sent me photos and videos every visit which helped keep me settled throughout my trip that Snowflake was doing well. Can’t wait to use Vickie again in a few weeks for my next trip.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Exceptional Care, Beyond Expectations We are truly grateful to Bethany for the outstanding care she provided for our cats during wr absence. She did everything perfectly & treated our boys with genuine love, patience, & responsibility. What makes her truly exceptional is that despite going through very difficult circumstances herself — including severe pain in her ankle due to reflex issues that required a hospital visit — she still came back to our home after the hospital to care for our cats so that she would not let us down as she Promised us. This level of dedication, honesty, & compassion is extremely rare in this time. Bethany is an amazing & wonderful person. Our respect & appreciation for her have grown immensely. She never abandoned us, even while she was suffering in pain. She is one of the most genuine, kind-hearted, & trustworthy people we have ever met. Words like “thank you” are simply not enough to express our gratitude. She deserves the highest level of respect & trust, we Highly recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone looking for someone who truly cares — not just about cats , but about keeping doing as what she promises no matter the circumstances. Thank you once again. You are truly remarkable. God Bless you. ❤️

I would like to say a big thank to Louise for looking after our gorgeous big Tabby. I highly recommend her. She spent time playing with him and it was great seeing the photos of him in the garden and around the house very relaxed. Louise was very tidy and clean. We didn’t have to empty bins or anything, she did all that. You will not go wrong with Louise. 😁
