Erin has been a great help keeping Deefa company while we’ve both been away from home. She’s kept us up to date with her schedule, sent us gorgeous pics on their walks, and Deefa looks very happy to be out and about with her new pal! Wouldn’t hesitate to ask for Erin’s help again.

Catherine took great care of our Gucci who can be a bit anxious around new pet sitters. She took time to get to know him and we came back from our trip to a very happy kitty. Thank you!

About: I’ve grown up fully immersed in the presence of animals and I have always taken on roles in their care. I have a dog called Nala at home and I love nothing more than spending time with her whether that be playing with her toys, going out for walks or simply cuddling on the sofa. I also have cats at home who likewise enjoy their playtime but also fusses on my knee. I’ve had work experience placement at a veterinary clinic so I’m also aware of aspects of care such as senior care and proper handling techniques. Although I am a veterinary nursing student at university I have days where I don’t have in person classes therefore making me available throughout the day and some days I’m home by 12pm, as well as having my weekends spare. I am very vigilant when it comes to pet safety especially with having grown up in a home with indoor cats, therefore I will take any safety measures you have in place very seriously. Due to my vet nursing course I have done placement at veterinary clinics therefore I’m aware of safe and proper handling techniques as well as signs to be aware of in other dogs when out on walks.

About: I grew up caring for animals and raised a rescued stray dog as well as several rabbits. Friends and neighbours often trust me to look after their pets, including dogs and cats. I’m currently studying for the ICAEW qualification and work from home, so I have a flexible schedule and can give pets plenty of attention during the day. I live in a ground-floor flat in St Paul’s with a fenced garden and I’m only a two-minute walk from Portland Square, which makes frequent toilet breaks and walks easy. Happy to send regular photo updates so you can feel reassured while you’re away. Your furry friends will be treated like my own :) I’m currently studying for the ICAEW qualification and work from home, so I have plenty of time to play with your fur babies!

Nicole was so good with our 2 dogs. One being a very nervous rescue who doesn’t take to people well. She came and meet them beforehand to make sure they were comfortable, and within 5 minutes he was up wanting attention. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend or use her again!

About: My family dog (Alfie) is a 12 y/o boarder terrier and I look after him for my parents on a regular basis when I go home to visit. I lived in the same home as Alfie in cornwall for the first 5 years and miss him everyday now that I live in Bristol. I love nothing more than dogs and I love going for walks, so it helps being around great places to walk / parks. Our first family dog was a Doberman, and I absolutely love all different breeds of dogs and often support with dog sitting my partners family dog who is an American Staffy. I live in a 2 bedroom maisonette with 2 large balcony’s, the previous owner of this apartment had 2 dogs so it’s definitely a dog friendly space (*** please note that these are a few flights of stairs to get to our apartment). My partner works from home Monday - Friday, and I work from home Thursdays and Fridays, so we can make it work in the week, as well as weekends. I work full time, in the office Mon - Wed 8:30am - 5:30pm then I work from home Thursdays 8:30am - 5:30am and from home Friday 8:30am - 12pm My partner works 9am - 5pm Mondays, then Wednesdays - Fridays, he usually works from home on Tuesdays but sometimes has to be on site. I don’t have any pets in the house, the balcony’s are spacious and we lots of gardens close by where we can take the dogs

About: My orange cat has trained me very well, I can handle the zoomies like a pro. I love cats and dogs of all shapes and sizes (but probably sticking to smaller/medium dogs for walking). Very used to feeding schedules, playtime and zoomies. I am lucky enough to interact with dogs at work daily and love getting lots of kisses and cuddles from a happy pup. Available all weekend for cat/dog drop ins and walks, and on weekday evenings from 5pm onwards! If you can leave me instructions to follow then I’ll be happy to do what you ask! Happy to do extra visits and give treats, administer medication or give them some playtime depending on their needs.

Sarah dropped in to check on Mowgli at very short notice, having not met him/us before, and was very flexible and communicative! It was great to know Mowgli had some company and a chance for a play while we were out, and we're grateful to Sarah for popping over. We'll definitely ask her to look after Mowgli again! Thanks

About: I started walking, looking after and dog sitting from the age of 14. Recently since having more time I have started looking after friends dogs in Bristol and absolutely love it! I worked in a veterinary practice for work experience during school. I am happy to stay at your pets home or house them at my own. I work remotely and I’m lucky that my job allows me to work anywhere so I can be very flexible, especially during weekdays and for drop ins and walking. Please try to give me 1 weeks notice for sitting where you can, although I know how crazy schedules can be! I have looked after a large range of cats and dogs within all age ranges. I am confident walking dogs on and off lead as well as respecting commands that you have set in place. I love to play with all pets as well as cuddles and attention. I am comfortable with any rules you have set in place.

About: Since I was 6 years old I always had at least two dogs, mainly Great Dane and street dog. I always helped my parents to feed, clean them and of course give them a lot of love. When I was 19 I came to London for holidays and since then I have been living in the UK. I am a big dog lover and one of the things I struggled the most is not having a dog and missing my dogs back in Brazil. And that is why I am signing up on this app. I often look after Kermit which is a greyhound and since then I do miss having a dog on my daily routine. (For Kermit photos and for other dogs that I’ve looked after please see my album) I’m an accountant that work remote so I am very flexible. My partner and I work remote and in terms of hours is quite flexible. We often do long walks in the morning, evening and breaks during the day, so looking after dogs would be a plus on my day! My flat is quite secure and we do not have any dangerous plants or furniture. Please note I don’t have much space for playing in my flat but if the dog is small to mid size we might have space for games :)

Shona was great with my cat. She looked after him, gained his trust (which isn't easy), spent time with him, and made sure he had everything he needed. I felt he was being well cared for which made me feel more relaxed! Thanks so much Shona 🙏😸
