“Jasmine is a wonderful person. She has recently looked after our Labrador puppy who isn’t old enough to go on walks yet and whenever I get home after work he’s always happy and sleepy! Couldn’t recommend her enough if you ever need anyone to look after your pet :)”


“Susan was great with our 18 month lab Chester! We had daily updates on their walks and adventures I would highly recommend for anyone looking for any dog sitting services! Thanks again Susan!!!!”


About: I have had animals of all kinds in my life since a very young age. I am well rounded and experienced in animal sitting within your home and love all animals I currently work a full time job from home so can be with your furry friends all the time. I have a part time evening job a couple nights a week, but can take time off if your animals need around the clock attention! I keep your pets in your home so they are comfortable and content. I ask for some basic instruction to follow so they are happy whilst you are away! I will provide regular updates so you know what your fur babies are up to!

About: Together, my partner Chris & I have over 20+ years of looking after dogs. We have trained 3 dogs since puppies between us, so can manage and enjoy any aged dog. We have looked after dogs of all temperaments and have experience with rescue dogs. Both of our cockapoos love doggy friends, so your dog will need to be ok with other dogs company. Narla is very playful & Bonnie is quite reserved but so loving. We both work full time, so would only be able to pet sit over the weekend from Friday to Sunday and bank holidays. Our weekends are dedicated to taking our dogs on satisfying, interesting walks (for all of us!). We have an enclosed garden with a 6 foot fence, so your dog will be secure. We also have a crate if your dog needs this over night. We can also sleep the dogs in separate rooms if needed.

“Hope was amazing looking after 4 legged gang, they were so happy and calm when we arrived back. Hope stayed in our home to care for them and kept us up to date with pictures and messages whilst we were away. I can’t recommend her enough, it’s so reassuring to know they are in good hands.”


About: Growing up with many of my family members having dogs and after many years of pining for one of my own, we finally got our family dog, Millie. I’ve had the pleasure of dog sitting for family and friends, looking after their beloved pets from playful puppies to mature dogs. Myself and my partner cannot wait to have a furry friend of our own but in the meantime we would love to lend a helping hand to you and your pooch, giving them all the love and attention they deserve. Whether it’s energetic playtime, gentle walks, or simply providing a comforting presence I would love to help where I can. Myself and my partner both work full time but are very flexible on weekends for all your pet care needs. Thursday’s I am available from 1:30pm and can take weekend boarding from Friday evening. I live with my partner who is a teacher and so will be also taking care of your fur babies once he is home in the evenings and weekends. We are also available to have your pets during the school holidays. We both still live in my family home so you pet will be surrounded by lots of love and affection. We have a large house with plenty of space and a fenced garden which backs onto footpaths and fields. Pets will have free roam of the house and garden during their stay along with lots of walks in fields and woodlands. We firmly believe in lots of affection and cuddles whether that be on the floor, sofa or bed. We live on a quiet road with minimal vehicle traffic throughout the whole day.

“Sadie was great with our dog Millie when we had to leave her for the weekend. Millie can be quite nervous but Sadie was fab with her, took her time and let her have her space when needed. Sadie kept us updated on how she was doing. We were very comfortable leaving Millie with her in our house. Sadie is already booked in again to keep Millie company when we have to go away.”


“Total peace of mind having Clare looking after Charlie, for a weekend :-) Clare stayed in contact with regular messages and photos and it was great to see how our (usually nervous) border collie settled with her! Would highly recommend :-) xx”

About: Leaving my beloved pets behind when I moved to the UK for my master’s program has been one of the toughest parts of this journey. My 9-year-old Labrador, Oscar, has been my loyal companion since he was a pup. He has this incredible ability to sense my moods; when I’m feeling down, he curls up beside me, offering his warmth and unwavering support. Our daily walks are filled with joyful moments, whether it’s chasing after his favorite tennis ball or splashing through puddles. He teaches me the simple joys of life, reminding me to cherish every moment. Then there’s my sweet cat, a brave little soul I adopted a while ago. She recently became a mother to six adorable kittens, and witnessing her nurturing side has been nothing short of heartwarming. It’s a beautiful sight—her gentle purrs as she cares for her little ones, ensuring they feel safe and loved. Each kitten has their own personality, from the curious adventurer to the sleepy cuddle bug, and I feel so privileged to have been part of their lives from the start. The bond I share with Oscar and my cat is irreplaceable. They are more than just pets; they are family. I miss their playful antics and the comfort of having them around every day. Despite the distance, I hold onto the memories we’ve created together, knowing that one day, I’ll be reunited with them. In caring for them, I’ve learned the importance of patience, love, and responsibility. They’ve shown me how to be attentive to their needs and how to create a nurturing environment. The experience has deeply shaped my understanding of animal care and the profound bond between humans and their pets. I am currently a master student and do not have any jobs in particular. I am mostly free as i have only 3 days class . I would love to hang out and spend time with my furry buddies! I live near a dog friendly park where i can easily take the pet for walks and play. I myself am a very outdoor person and can hang out with pet buddies outside more than inside!
