11. Jessica F.
About: I have grown up around pets and animals. I have my own miniature dachshund who is a loving and needy character. I am the girl that will go up to dogs at a party and stay there. I live with just Luna at a house so would love to open my home to help look after others dogs! It sounds like a dream and I work from home so will be here at all times. I will give regular updates via pictures and messages if requested as wouldn’t want to hassle you unless you wanted to! I used to have a childhood dog which was a Shih Tzu called Stanley that I would look after at home. I look after my Nans dog which is a Yorkshire terror when she goes on holiday. All rounded take them for walks play with them clean them, etc… I currently have an office job where I work from home so will be home majority of the time to provide the care needed for a dog and give them the attention they need! My house is a safe home nothing is lying around and my dog is a loving character just barks at the door at new people haha she’s only small though and wouldn’t do anything shes so loving! Takes her a min to adjust to a new dog but she will play after they have bonded.

18. Charlie D.
About: Hello, I'm Charlie I'm a dedicated and experienced pet sitter who has spent the past two years in Athens, Greece, caring for, boarding, and walking dogs full-time with my partner, Milana. Pet care isn’t just a job for me—it’s a true passion. I love building trust with animals and making sure they feel safe, loved, and happy while their owners are away. Pet walking and pet sitting. I’ve had the pleasure of looking after many breeds, including Miniature Schnauzers, French Bulldogs, Miniature Pinschers, American Bulldogs, Huskies, Giant Schnauzers, Cocker Spaniels, Spitz, Poodles, Kokonis, Segugio Italianos, Labradors, Shepherds, and many more! No matter their size, energy level, or personality, I take the time to understand each pet's unique needs. In addition to dogs, I have plenty of experience caring for cats and birds. I’m especially skilled with parrots, as I used to own and train them myself. Whether it’s feeding, training, or just providing company, I know how to keep them engaged and content. I understand that parrots are truly unique, and have important dietry needs and I am fully aware of the long list of do's and don'ts including toxic things in our lives that can effect them. Currently, I’m based in the UK while Milana is in Poland, which is why I’m creating this account. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy and loving to take care of your pet, I’d be more than happy to help. Feel free to send me a message—I can’t wait to meet your furry (or feathered) friend. I work on a changing weekly Rota, meaning that I'd be more than happy to take care of pets anytime I'm not working. Completely free Thursday Friday Saturday this week for any and all services except at my own home. Feel free to contact me with the details of your booking and if i am free I'd love to look after your pet. I have had many years of experience as a pet carer. I understand behaviours, diet and I will only ever be pet sitting due to the fact that I cannot have pets in my own residence. Rest assure that I will follow your guidelines precisely and take wonderful care of your pets in your absence.

Can also be available weekends if you are going away etc. I have lots of experience with caring for animals and understand how important it is to ensure the safety of the property and the well being of the animal when you are using my service.


20. Abigail C.
“Abigail has looked after my dog Luna several times over the the past years and I could not recommend her enough. Luna is always well looked after by Abigail when she stays with her, multiple walks a day, well fed, groomed and lots of cuddles! I find it hard to leave Luna with just anyone but I absolutely trust Abigail and it gives me great peace of mind when Luna is with her. She always goes the extra mile to make sure my dog is well cared for and looked after! Abigail is well experienced and knowledgeable with dogs and I highly recommend her!”
