About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life—having had my own since I was just one year old—so caring for them comes naturally to me. Over the years, I’ve also regularly looked after dogs for family and friends, gaining experience with different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I offer reliable and caring dog walking and sitting services, making sure every dog feels safe, happy, and well looked after. Whether it’s a fun walk, playtime, or simply keeping them company, I treat every dog as if they were my own. I currently work part-time as a nanny three days a week, which gives me a flexible routine and the ability to check in on pets throughout the day. My split schedule allows me to offer reliable visits for feeding, walks, and companionship, ensuring your pets are well cared for even when you’re busy or away. I’m happy to work around your pet’s needs and provide consistent, dependable care you can trust. I care for pets in the comfort of their own home, where they feel safest and most relaxed. I follow their usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide. I make sure they have plenty of attention, companionship, and care while you’re away, always keeping their environment clean, calm, and familiar. I also respect your home, ensuring everything is left tidy and secure after each visit. My goal is to make your pet feel happy and stress-free, while giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in safe and caring hands.

About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life, and caring for them has come naturally ever since I was a child. I've been lucky enough to spend time with all sorts of breeds and personalities, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know what makes each dog unique. I've cared for everything from a rescue St Bernard to Labradors and Golden Retrievers, so I'm comfortable with larger breeds as well as energetic dogs who love long walks and plenty of play. I've also looked after a variety of other pets for family and friends over the years, which has taught me that every animal has its own routine, and little quirks. . I know how important it is to leave your pet with someone you can trust. I'd care for your dog the same way I'd want someone to care for my own - with kindness, and lots of attention, and plenty of updates so you can relax knowing they're in good hands. I work full-time, but I have a hybrid schedule, which gives me the flexibility to be home during the week and dedicate quality time to the pets I'm caring for. My mornings, evenings, and weekends can all be centred around making sure pets get the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. I currently offer dog walking, toilet breaks, and drop-in visits in your home, where your pet can stay in the environment they know and feel most comfortable in. I always take the time to get to know each pet and stick to their usual routine as closely as possible. I'll make sure they're well looked after while you're away. I'll treat both your pet and your home with the same care and respect I would my own. I know how important trust is when inviting someone into your home, so I'll always keep you updated with messages and photos, so you can see how your pet is getting on and have peace of mind.
“Pauline is an excellent cat sitter. For one thing, she bonded instantly with our cat and showered her with affection - which Kitty loves. She also followed all of our instructions to a tee, and sent us lots of adorable photos and videos. She included an entertaining and detailed write-up for each visit and simply went above and beyond the call of duty. I felt very comfortable having her look after our cat, and we came home to find a happy, well-fed kitty. I can't recommend Pauline highly enough.”

About: Hello, my name is Alessandra (Ally) and I am an energetic and responsible dog enthusiast! I've spent a lot of my life living with dogs, looking after other people's pets, and walking and sitting dogs of all shapes and sizes. I fully understand what a big deal it is to trust a stranger with your dog. If you’d like to chat on the phone or speak to people for whom I have previously dog-sat/-walked please just ask. I usually work from home. I therefore have lots of flexibility to look after your four-legged friend and head out for walks as they need. I have an multi-floor, safe apartment - your dog is free to roam around and enjoy themselves. If sitting at your home, I'll make sure your pet has their normal routine and follows house rules :)
“Jennifer was amazing with my three dogs! She really paid attention to all the little details and took great care of each of them based on their needs. She made me feel completely at ease and confident that they were in great hands.”

About: I grew up surrounded by dogs and my parents have a collective 6 dogs that I have lots of experience tending to. I have experience working at a dog boarding business that typically has around 8-10 dogs at any given time. I helped with the dogs and the boarding business when I was living back in California and I still do whenever I go home. Because of this I have dealt with many types of dogs. I have taken care of puppies and administered medication for aging or sick dogs. The dog boarding business I have experience with has a gated property in the woods and do not kennel their dogs so I am used to having dogs around and in the house constantly and dealing with the needs of many dogs at the same time. I have done a lot of housesitting. This includes two families whose whose farms I used to housesit for for up to three weeks at a time. They both had cats, a large dog, chickens, a garden, and an orchard. One also had horses and the other had goats. Because of this I am very comfortable taking care of large properties and dealing with farm animals. I am also comfortable managing dogs around farm animals. I have also cat sat for 2 weeks for a family with two cats (one of whom was elderly and needed medication and lots of attention). I work remotely so I can work from your home and watch your animal during the day I currently work from home full time and have a fairly flexible schedule so I can come take care of your pet all day while I work. I am able to provide them with as much care as they need during the day while I work. I am organised and very good at following the instructions you set out for the care of your pet. I am not able to watch pets in my own home due to a no pets contract but I can come and upkeep your home for you while watching your pet I am an expedited house sitter and can make sure your house is given just as much care as your animal. I have experience watching large properties and a large number of animals and following strict instructions for the upkeep of both.
About: We are Kate and Ben, a professional couple in our late 20s providing dog services in central Cambridge. We have a young Golden Shepherd puppy called Moon (DOB: 9/5/26) who is great with other dogs but keep this in mind when booking. Moon is our second dog, I have always grown up with dogs, and we are comfortable with dogs of all sizes. We have also hosted a number of dogs in this house and are confident looking after anyone who might need a sleepover! We are very flexible so just drop us a message and we can see what we can do to help! At the moment we are only providing weekend dog services with the potential for week nights by request. We would not accept a booking when we are WFH so be assured if we have your pup they'll have our full attention! Our house is in the Mill Road area with lots of great grassy spaces nearby. Our garden is off the road but opens onto a passageway that leads to other gardens so we only take dogs out for wee breaks on the lead. Our first dog Fig had complex medical needs around food so we'll happily accommodate any requests you have. Our house is comfortable and very dog friendly with plenty of space to play or just curl up for a nap.

About: I’ve taken family friend’s dogs on walks and love to have a good play session with them! I have two beautiful cats and worked in a zoo for a year so I understand the importance of making sure everything adheres to their schedule! I’m currently at university and on break! Until September I’ll be free anytime and will be able to do evening drop ins after then! I’m careful to ensure fenced environments are safe and that the area is safe and clean for your dog! I understand that pets have varying needs and will make a checklist for all your pets specific needs so you will know what time everything has been done!

About: Ive always had a dog and I am also loved by cats, I love giving them attention and like it too. You're leaving your baby in safe hands coz when Im with pets they become my world. I feel I understand animals well, even though they can’t communicate in the same way we do—perhaps it’s my biologist’s instinct. I truly enjoy spending time with them and would be delighted to care for your beloved pets. As a PhD student, I have a self-managed schedule, which allows me to dedicate quality time and attention to pet care. I also see this as more than just a side role—it’s something that brings me joy and a sense of calm, almost like therapy, while ensuring your pets feel safe, loved, and well looked after. As I have lived in the past in an area where wildlife is common, I always took extra precautions to keep pets safe, including ensuring they remain indoors after 6 PM, even for short strolls. I also carefully check the environment to remove any sharp or hazardous objects. Most importantly, I pay close attention to their behavior and cues, making sure they feel heard, understood, and comfortable at all times.
About: I’ve been around animals since I was about 2 years old and I’ve had pets at home since I was 8 (cats and dogs). 🥰 My family even adopted a stray dog when living abroad (in India ) and trained her from scratch. It was a lengthy but very rewarding process. It taught me a lot about dog psychology and training. We often used to foster dogs before they went into their forever families or did dog sitting for dogs to stay at our house overnight. I really love all animals, I am very patient with pets and very attentive to their needs. I am a full-time MPhil student but I am very happy to take care of your pets (for doggy walks, drop in visits and house sitting) whenever I am free. I am usually available during the evenings and on week ends ☺️ I can completely understand how daunting it might be to leave your pet at home while you are away. I will always try my best to make your pet as comfortable and happy as possible 💕 I listen to their special needs, whether they require special exercises to remain occupied or frequent belly rubs! 😻 Please let me know about your pet’s routines and I will adapt accordingly :)
About: I’ve been around dogs most of my life caring for them has always come naturally to me. For over 10 years I have provided regular walks, cuddles, and care for dogs belonging to family and friends. I also worked as a paid dog walker for a family friend, giving me hands-on experience in managing different breeds, temperaments, and energy levels. These days, I regularly look after my partner’s family dog—who honestly feels like my own. I've been part of his life since day one, and we share an amazing bond. Whether it's long walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I love creating a safe, calm, and fun environment for every dog I meet. I currently work from home a lot and can be flexible in my day for walks locally as well as flexible on weekends if given notice. I am happy to come to your home to board with your lovely pups or visit in the day for walks as needed. I will be guided by you as you know your pets best.
“Larissa is a lovely young woman who made fast friends with my cat, Flash. She followed my instructions to the letter, including sending us adorable photos and videos on a regular basis. We came back home to find a calm, happy, well-feed kitty. We will definitely be using her again!”


About: Hello! I’m Declan, a Vet currently completing further specialised training at Queen’s Veterinary School Hospital. I live 2 minutes from the hospital itself. I have been a registered vet for three years and am happy to help look after your animal, especially if they need additional needs such as medications / injections. I currently work full time but am able to come home at lunch / when needed for treatments. Weekends I am able to accommodate based on provisional bookings. Not all weekends are possible due to my job :) I have a fenced garden and no animals living with me. Any cats would be strictly indoors only. All doors and windows are kept locked during the day. Any further questions or concerns do let me know! Happy to chat

About: I am a proud cat mum! I live with my one year old British Shorthair, Chestnut, and I am currently also looking after a fluffy long haired cat for a friend. Feeding, grooming, litter, playtime, cuddles, I have got it all covered. I am great at reading what each cat needs, whether they want to play or just want to be left alone with a full bowl. My hours are flexible, so I can work around your schedule easily. Your cat will be in happy, loving hands! I work flexible hours from home, so caring for pets fits naturally into my day. I can visit regularly for feeding, playtime, and cuddles, and easily adjust timings to suit your cat's usual routine! I keep a calm, clean, and cat friendly space, with fresh food and water, a tidy litter area, and safe spots to rest and play. In your home, I follow your instructions closely and treat your space and your cat with care and respect.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for five years, driven by my love for animals. My special skill is senior care, gained through volunteering at a senior care home. These experiences have taught me patience, empathy, and attentiveness, especially in caring for senior or special needs pets. As a PhD student, I have a pretty flexible schedule, especially on weekends. I'm really active and love running, so fitting in walks or playtime with pets is something I enjoy. Caring for pets is a great way for me to take a break from my studies, and it fits perfectly into my routine. When pets stay with me, I focus on making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I make my place pet-friendly by removing anything that could be a hazard and setting up cozy spots for them to chill. I keep a close eye on them to ensure they’re relaxed and happy. I stick to their usual routines and make sure they have plenty of playtime and affection. Whether it’s having their food and water ready or giving them a quiet place to rest, I do my best to make sure every pet feels at home and loved.

“Taja was a wonderful and very reliable cat sitter. She took great care of our two cats, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. Communication was easy and she was very considerate and gentle with our cats. I would happily recommend Taja to anyone looking for a cat sitter in Cambridge!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 3 years, starting with my own pup and extending to friends, and family pets. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities, from energetic puppies to older companions who just want gentle walks and cuddles. I believe every dog deserves patience, kindness, and lots of love, and I always do my best to make them feel safe and happy. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or quiet company, I enjoy giving pets the care and attention they need. My schedule is flexible, and I can usually adjust to fit your pet’s needs. Whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening cuddle time, I’ll do my best to be available when your pup needs me. Your pet’s safety is my top priority. I follow instructions closely, from feeding routines to leash rules, and I never take risks with a dog’s well-being. Walks are always on secure leashes, doors and gates are double-checked, and I keep a close eye on pets at all times. I believe that being strict about safety is the best way to build trust—so you can feel confident that your pup is in caring, reliable hands.

Imogen replied to my request for a sitter straight away to let me know she was available. It was short notice so I was delighted she could come to mind my dog whilst I had to go out. Imogen let me know when she was close and arrived on time. She was really lovely and my dog liked her straight away too. She did not cry when I left which is the first time ever. Imogen did a great job of looking after my dog who was happy and very relaxed when I got back and had clearly bonded with Imogen. I’d be really happy for Imogen to look after my dog again again and would highly recommend her as a reliable, kind and caring pet sitter

Pauline was absolutely amazing with my dad's dog tyson. She done a weekend for us while my dad was in hospital and tyson had the best time! She sent photos and videos over after each visit which was lovely. Highly recommend Pauline, we will definitely be using her again! Thankyou

Railey and Tom are lovely people . My pet babies had a wonderful time and would wait by the door for them . Alphey slept quite good in the night after the walks. It’s quite difficult to leave pets and houses to strangers in charge while you are away . But they absolutely rocked ✨ would recommend them 💯.
Beatriz and her partner took amazing care of my pooch during a drop in visit while I was out all day. They followed all the instructions I left and made sure that he ate and toileted before they left him. He was a very happy boy when I got home, thank you so much. Would definitely recommend!

It was great having Maisie walk the dogs this week. She arrived on time and was ready for a walk with a lively cocker spaniel! We had done a meet and greet the week before so they were both very happy to go with her. I had complete confidence that she could manage an older dog and a younger livelier one and I'll definitely be using Maisie again
