About: I have helped to take care of my family dogs from the age of 9, when we fostered our first hearing dog puppy. Growing up socialising hearing dogs for the deaf means that I have experience with a lot of puppy care and training. My mother also opened her own dog training business for a while so I learnt a lot from her during that process. I have a great love for all animals and would love to help you care for yours! I am a self employed performer, working part time in a local restaurant, so I have lots of time during the week to look after your lovely pups. I usually work Friday and Saturday evenings and Sundays during the day with the occasional dance class or weekday evening shift thrown in, but I always know of thee changes at least 2 weeks in advance. So I am able to facilitate whatever works best for you! I will make sure that your dog gets plenty of attention and lots of walks, regardless of weather (unless you specify that you want me to stay in the house with your dog). I will make sure to only let them off their lead in enclosed safe environments and only feed them any treats or foods that you have approved first.

About: I love heading back to my parents in Oxfordshire to look after our family Cocker Spaniel when I get the chance! We call him Naughty Nev! I work full time as a Landscape Architect, typically 9-5, however I have flexibility with working from home and my starting/finishing hours can vary if needed. Ideally walks/drop ins would be before 9am, lunch time and after 5pm, however I am happy to discuss timings and your preferences to figure out what works best for you and your dog 🐶 I don't currently have any of my own furry friends as I live in a rented flat with my partner. We do have a lovely communal garden though!

About: With over 11 years of experience in pet walking and sitting, and a lifetime spent surrounded by animals, caring for pets comes naturally to me. From playful puppies to senior companions, I’ve nurtured a deep understanding of their needs, personalities, and routines. Growing up in a home filled with dogs, cats, and small animals taught me not only responsibility but also the joy and comfort pets bring to our lives. My goal is always to provide loving, dependable care that gives both pets and their owners peace of mind. I’m always around and happy to help whenever you need reliable care for your pets. Whether it’s a last-minute walk, a drop-in visit, or regular sitting, you can count on me to be available and ready to step in. Your pet’s comfort and your peace of mind are always my priority. My pet care services are built on trust, safety, and reliability. Whether I’m walking your dog or sitting with your pets at home, you can count on me to treat them with the same love and care I give my own. I prioritize their well-being and your peace of mind, ensuring a safe, consistent, and dependable experience every time.

“I had complete confidence in Gemma who dropped in to feed my cats while I was away. She sent photos each day which was reassuring as they are outdoor cats. I can recommend Gemma and would use her again”


“Keira took absolutely amazing care of our pets while we were away for 9 days, visiting twice a day and accommodating all their individual needs and personalities. It was great receiving regular updates and photos during her visits, and the cats were all very happy and relaxed when we returned. Thanks so much Kiera for your wonderful care! We would wholeheartedly recommend Keira and hope to use her services again in the future next time we plan a trip”


About: If you really think about it, all animals want is to be loved and cared for (“and to be fed, duh!” - Cosmo, my cat, currently sitting on my lap as I write this). Hello! I’m Alex, a 31-year-old freelancer who is the annoying friend who will excitedly point out a cat or dog, even if we’ve literally just walked passed 3 others. I have always had a deep love for animals, particularly cats, as I have had seven over the years, but all animals are equally special to me. Show me a rat, dog, worm, elephant, pigeon or snake, and I’m instantly in love. I have years of experience looking after my own cats as well as family and friends’ pets, including dogs, hamsters, hedgehogs and more, so I would be honoured to meet your animal babies and take care of them whilst you’re away. Some quotes from recent clients: “Alex is my favourite babysitter, to the point where I actually wee myself every time I see her” - Coco, the 2 y/o dachshund. “My mum is the best because she would rather sit on the floor than move me when I’m asleep in her chair” - Bandit, the 3 y/o moggie. “I’ve known Alex since I was a puppy and still lose my mind when I hear her voice” - Bertie, the 15 y/o spoodle. “When I was poorly, my mummy was the smoothest and fastest pill-giver and, even though I scratched her sometimes, she still loves me endlessly” - Mowgli, the 3 y/o moggie. Having 4 cats of my own and being freelance means I can spend hours on end with my babies. There is of course the daily feeds, litter cleans and water top-ups, but the best time of day is sitting at my work computer, one cat on my lap, another by my feet and another in the doorway (number 4 cat likes to keep to herself more so I respect her space). As for your babies, I will ensure as much time as possible is carved into my day to spend time with them and keep them comfortable and happy. I take great joy in learning about how animals like to spend their days. Need space to themselves? I get it. Need lots of walks each day? I'll set my fitness tracker to marathon mode. Need to be petted for 3 hours straight and will have a strop if not? I'm the queen of non-stop love. I'm also aware that when looking after your pets, it's not just them I am mindful of. I will be entering your home, your safe space and I take that responsibility very seriously. Just let me know any specifics about your house and I will ensure everything is done by the book.

About: Hi! I’m Kate, a dedicated dog lover with a passion for caring for furry friends. I pride myself on being responsible and punctual. Whether it's long walks, playtime, or snuggles on the couch, I’m committed to providing a safe, fun, and loving environment for your dog. I work from home and have a flexible schedule throughout the day. I’m also very available on the weekends and would be more than happy to work on the time that suits you best. I have a lot of experience with dogs of different sizes, breeds, and temperaments. I understand that all pets are different and am committed to ensuring their well being and that they are comfortable. Please let me know in advance if they have any additional needs!

“I can't say enough good things about Tatiana. She was literally the best and our 2 cats loved her! One of my cats is really shy and Chunky warmed up to her right away. She sent pics every day and I even got pics of Chunky cuddling with her and it made my heart melt. I recommend Tatiana for anything you need - she was so sweet and wonderful and got along so well with the kitties. We can't wait to have Tatiana watch our kitties again!”


About: During my years at college I began going on dog walks with my friends. Kayla is a beautiful cockapoo that we walked weekly. Coco was my best friends new dog that we walked regularly. They had very different personalities but I loved them both! I am now at uni with a car and hoping to be healthier and boost my serotonin by looking after some cute dogs :) I also have grown up with cats so would love to look after those too. I'm currently at university so I'm quite flexible with my routine. Generally work Saturday mornings until noon. Other than that Ive just finished uni until September so I have plenty of free time! I have a fenced garden and a car so plenty of opportunities for places to explore with your pup! Im also within walking distance of Pitville park :)

About: I am known for treating dogs like children! I have taken care of anxious, senior, rescue, and young dogs. My senior rescue Jack Russell, Daisy, passed away recently at age 17. I used Rover throughout her years with me, so I understand the need to find a caring person who is completely focused on dog’s needs and feelings. I will take care of your dog in the best way possible as this is exactly what I wanted and seeked for Daisy. I will ensure to get you know your dog’s routine, habits and needs. I am all about the regular updates with photos and videos too :) I work from home and don’t travel very often, so am happy to stay with your dog in your home, and provide as much availability as possible. Your pet’s home is their home and I will treat it as such. I believe in dogs being allowed on human beds etc, so will happily allow your dog to snuggle in comfort. However, if you prefer him/her not to, then just let me know :)

“After moving to the area, I was anxious to find a sitter as good as my previous, and Georgina completely alleviated any worries I had! She was kind, thorough, communicative and her updates made me laugh! Couldn't have asked for a better person to look after my boys ☺️💕 Would definitely book again!”


About: Over the past year I have gained experience in dog care working at my local dog kennels. Working there, I met a lot of different temperaments and breeds of dog and had to learn about how to personalise your care for the different types of dogs and their needs. I dealt with feeding time, medication, play time and hygiene such as grooming, poo picking and cleaning up after them. Although we never had a dog growing up, I have a lot of love for them and always enjoyed going round to friends and families houses to play with theirs and so I get a long with them well. We did however have a cat growing up for a short period. He was an older cat that someone had to sell on and we miss him alot. I feel very comfortable around cats and absolutely love playing with them or just chilling with them. I realise cats don't take as much time to care for as dogs and drop in visits would probably suffice. I am happy to accept cats in my home for longer periods and would charge less accordingly. I have put down five years pet care experience as we have had numerous small pets over the years such as guinea pigs, fish and hamsters which needed attention and care. I have also looked after friends and families dogs, along with working at a dog kennels for a year so I feel it is an apt judgment of my experience. Thank you for considering me, and I hope to see you and your pets soon :) I am university student currently and looking to earn a bit of money but also experience looking after people's pets. During term time I attend University 4 times a week for a couple of hours and during the holidays I live in Cheltenham. If you require me to be at your house, home sitting, I will be available 24 hours minus these times I am at university and can be very flexible with my schedule around your pets needs. I am happy to do drop in visits or dog walks anytime as well as I have no other commitments. I am happy to come to your house to look after your dog or even for a visit to take them out for a walk. Let me know how they like to play and I will most likely spend the whole time having fun with them. I will make sure to keep them in their usual routine so they won't even realise your gone! I would like to take them for a walk somewhere a bit different than they are used to if you are comfortable with that as it can be a good opportunity for someone with the time to let you pet's have a real good explore. I love a long walk just as much as your furry friend. If I am looking after a cat, I will definitely let them sus me out before trying to introduce playing or being too tactile. It might take longer for a cat to adjust to a new person but I have the patience for it for sure.

About: Hi there, I'm Clare, a working professional who adores animals. I have grown up with pets around the house since the day I was born and have lots of experience with both dogs and cats. Sadly, my lovely lab (Poppy) passed away last year (at 16 years old!) and life has never been the same. I'm now looking to love and look after doggies in the Cheltenham area whilst their mums and dads are away or at work. In order to provide the love and attention that your fur-kids deserve, I only take one booking at a time for pet-sitting. I understand that leaving pets behind can be daunting, so I send regular updates and photos of them enjoying every day to put your mind at ease I have a flexible working pattern and am able to work from home on most days. I do not work on weekends. Please get in touch regarding availability as I will always try to accommodate. I am able to provide pet-sitting, drop-ins and walks and understand the importance of good company, stimulation, exercise and cuddles for a happy, healthy doggy. I live in a ground floor flat that is lovely, comfortable and spacious for your pets. There is a safe, enclosed garden attached to the apartment. There are plenty of nearby options for plenty of lovely walks and regular toilet trips. I will never walk your dog off-lead, unless you advise that you are comfortable with this.
