“Lily was a great sitter. She was easy to communicate with both before and during the sit and left me reassured my cat was very spoilt and well looked after whilst I was away.”

About: Hi, I’m Lucy! I’m an experienced and passionate dog carer with a strong background in animal welfare. I’ve volunteered as a dog boarder for Guide Dogs UK, cared for rescue dogs as a walker with a local dog charity, and walked pups through BorrowMyDoggy. I also have hands-on experience working with a variety of animals at an animal rescue charity. As I have grown up with a dog, I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pup. Whether it’s walks, cuddles, or company, your dog will be in safe, loving hands with me! -NO LONGER ACCEPTING BOARDING IN MY OWN HOUSE- -BOOKING IS ONLY CONFIRMED ONCE CONFIRMED IN THE APP- I am a part-time remote online student so I am fully available throughout the week and able to give my full attention to your pet. I have a non-smoking, no children, and no pet household so it is safe for reactive dogs. There are also plenty of walks around my house to take your pet on if you wish.

“Lisa is the best. 100% reliable and trustworthy, we have used her many times. She looks after our cat like she was her own. Highly recommend her.”


“Shirley is so lovely. She listened to all of Cagney needs & implemented what I asked of her. Thank you so much & we look forward to meeting up again.”


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!

“Kiera has watched checked in on our cat a few holidays now. She communicates really well with photos every day and we always come home to a happy contented cat and clean cat spaces. Thank you!!!”


“Thanks Liam/Kate The pics look great and would be just what he needs middle of the day. Di said when she got home Barney was relaxed and chilled which is perfect Will be in touch soon for our next visit Neil”


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: 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.

About: I have had dogs since I was a small child. Nothing makes me happier than being in their company. I have my own 5 year old jackapoo, who is very spoilt! We have a massive safe and secure garden. Lots of space to explore. I have looked after other peoples dogs. My dog has daily medication for allergies so I’m experienced in getting dogs to take tablets. I also have a bearded dragon and a jumping spider. I’d have more animals but my husband has banned me 🤣 I’m currently on a career break so at home. My 12 year old step daughter stays with us every other week. When she’s with us I have the school runs. Massive safe and secure garden. I have crates and pens if required. Lots of spare dog beds. Large kitchen where dogs can sleep. My dog can be a little territorial at first but soon settles down.

About: We've been looking after people's pets for around 7 years, providing them with a "home from home" experience, as well as caring for them in their own homes. During this time, we have cared for a variety of pets, including: dogs, cats, rabbits, guineapigs, rats, lizards and chickens. We pride ourselves on ensuring each pet in our care is treated as our own. Our labradoodle Nova is always excited to welcome new friends and provides plenty of fun and company. We work from home full time, with flexible schedules, meaning that we are available all week days and weekends for day care / dog boarding / pet sitting / home visits We live in a quiet cul-de-sac which is away from any main or busy roads. We have a fenced back garden allowing your pets to enjoy garden play and easy assess for toilet breaks. We like to ensure your pets feel at home so welcome any of their home comforts, such as a crate, bedding and favourite toy! We have a spare room which can provide an option for some down time (if ever needed!) and we live in a bungalow so your pet will always feel a part of the family home.

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've taken care of a wide array of dogs, little to big, quiet to wild, young to old. My favourite part is taking them on long walk, or runs depending on age! I'm currently working full-time from home. I am entitled to regular breaks where I can spend some time walking/looking after your loved ones. I will always have your pet in the room with me - unless, of course, they want their own space! I'm comfortable with any requests surrounding the care of your pets. I love playing and taking the young ones on runs, which should exhaust them for when you come home! Or I am more than happy to chill and look after a less mobile dog who only has short walks.

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!”


“Shannon was absolutely fantastic and Maisy loved her the second she met her. I came home to a very happy cat. Highly recommend Shannon.”


About: I’ve gained most of my dog experience with my Labrador who is 12 now! My family own Marley the Lab and Chico the Yorkshire Terrier whom I love to walk! I’ve recently moved to Cheltenham for work and I’ve unfortunately lost the opportunity to walk my 2 family dogs! I would love to have the pleasure of walking with your best friends so I can have some company while I exercise 😁! I work Monday - Friday (9:00 to 17:00) and I’d be available to walk anytime after 17:30! Some days I’d be able to walk during my lunch, but that’s something we can discuss. I don’t have the ability to bring pets to my flat as it’s not something my landlord allows, but I’d be more than happy to house sit with in your home if that’s something you’re comfortable with!

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 a first year student, looking to earn a bit of money in my spare time along with my studies. I attend university 4 times a week: Monday 9am-12pm Tuesday 1pm-4pm Thursday 9am-12pm Friday 1pm-4pm Around these times I am very flexible. If you require me to be at house, home sitting, I will be available 24 hours minus these times. I am happy to drop in visits or dog walks anytime. 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 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 let'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: I've had dogs my whole life so I am well experienced with dogs of all ages from puppy to senior. I have also had cats, hamsters and fish. I absolutely love animals and think they make our lives better. I have three fur babies of my own Buffy, the golden retriever, Ronnie, the rescue and Tiny Ted. As well as my love for animals, I have a lovely for art and currently work part time as an illustrator and host art workshops. This leaves me plenty of time during the day to walk, play and take care of your beloved family fur babies. Most pets are more comfortable in their own home than someone else's, especially if their owner is away. That's why I like to offer visits and overnight stays in your own home to make your pets feel at ease. I am happy to take your dog in my car, I have a doggy car cover in the back and can clip them in with a harness.
