About: I’ve spent the last 10 years caring for dogs mostly those of family and close friends, building trust and deep bonds along the way. I’ve loved animals since I was very young, and nothing makes me happier than seeing them joyful and well cared for! I’m always free on the weekends and Mondays I have a dog so very active life! Hope I can help you with your best friend! Fenced yard, and they will never be left alone for long periods! My dog has a lot of energy so yours will be very happy!

About: I have a remote job for a tech company which means that your dog will never be left alone and can go outside or play with me whenever they like. I can easily adapt when I walk them based on their usual routines from early mornings till late evening, as well as multiple times a day. I want to dog sit mainly because I work remotely, my partner Alex works full time in Rugby so most of the day I am alone so I would adore some dog company! I would one day love to have a dog of my own, but as I have recently finished my Masters degree, started my career and bought a house that is still a few years away. My family dog Amber lives with my parents so I miss her terribly! Every dog I would look after would get the same love and care I would give her. I also spend a lot of time with my boyfriend’s family’s three Jack Russels, and having grown up in a village full of dogs who we often looked after growing up, I am very comfortable with different breeds, temperaments and energy levels including the really high energy ones. My home is in a quiet village with a fully dog proofed garden (chicken wire has been nailed to the open fence) that overlooks the fields. There is a dog park opposite where the dog can also be let of the lead for a good run around, as well as lots of good walks nearby. Even though I am new to this app I am setting my years of experience to when my family first got Amber which was 10 years ago as I have been looking after her so much in that time, as well as looking after different dogs in the village for either the day or for a week at a time. As I work remotely I can take my breaks and lunch whenever is needed for your dog. I am up early morning a few hours before work if they need a good walk in there as well. I have a fenced garden and can keep watch of them at all times to make sure they are safe and happy. I can adapt their living based on what they have at home: I can put a baby gate up if they are usually not allowed upstairs, or allow them or not onto furniture depending on your preferences as well. I also have a dog seatbelt for the car if they prefer to go to a certain park or need to be driven anywhere for any reason.

“River took great care of my dog, Amber—I hope they both had a lovely day together. Communication was excellent throughout, with regular updates that really put my mind at ease. River was also very accommodating, happily staying longer than planned when my day unexpectedly ran over. Thank you!”

“Nicola was amazing with our high-energy, demanding Weim! He bonded with her immediately and that meant I could fully relax on my day out. Many, many thanks!”

“Very friendly, great updates, my dog and cat loved Rowan. Even my cat who is very selective wanted to spend time with them. Fed, and cared for really well. 5*”

“Mandakini made sure to visit us and our pets in advance of the house sit. She is instantly likeable and I had zero doubts about leaving her to our house and animals. I was able to relax completely on our weekend, confident that the pets were in safe and cheerful hands. The photos were a nice bonus.”

About: In a rehabilitative setting I am experienced in handling dogs with extensive needs, such as post surgery, senior care, and behavioural challenges due to injury/conditions. Whether your dog be nervous of new people, need to stay calm post surgery or require extra help with small tasks I am equipped with the knowledge to help! I’m currently working full time, with a springer spaniel and greyhound mix who keep me busy during the week. I offer weekend overnight stays/weekend walks around my Monday to Friday job. I care for your dogs in your own home, meaning they are in an environment they know and will have my undivided attention during each visit.

“Tim was great with our pets (1 dog and 2 cats) - they were much more settled being at home compared to kennels/catteries. Tim is warm, friendly and wonderful with animals. I would recommend him to my friends for house sitting and drop-in visits.”

About: Hi, I'm Kirstie, thank you for looking at my profile! I have owned animals my whole life, we are definitely a family of animal lovers! At the moment we have eight cats, Joey, Lacie, Dynamo, Kurt, Saxon, Mini Big, Ginge and Gus, two long haired and the rest short haired. They all have their own unique personalities, but mostly have one thing in common, they love a fuss and a cuddle! We do have one cat who has her 'boundaries' and so I am used to those cats who prefer their own space! I could think of nothing better than spending my days getting to fuss over lots of different animals, cats are my first love but I have a soft spot for all animals 🥰 This is my full time job so I have plenty of availability! I work to their routine, in every way. They become family to me! I work to you and your pets routine, feeding times, walk times, where they sleep etc. Pets prefer to stay in their own homes, and I will do everything I can to make sure they feel at home with me.

“Caitlin did a great job looking after our doggies today. They were so chilled to be cared for by her. She sent a few pictures during the time keeping is posted. Will be looking to book again other times when we need, if she's available whenever those yet to be determined times are.”

About: I have been walking and looking after pets for the last 4 years or so. I really enjoying walking dogs, spending time with them and learning about their different personalities. I’m well equipped for dogs with behavioural issues. I have 2 dogs and a cat aswell as Guinea pigs and hamsters previously. I have it listed on here that I don’t own any dogs, this is because they are not currently living at the home in London and are at my mum house in Oxfordshire. I can look after senior dogs and can administer medication. My schedule can be quite flexible however I am dipping in and out of shifts and different places. I am however mostly available. I am taking a year out before going to Bristol next September I live near big fields and also have sufficient land so will take the pet on multiple walks a day. I have 2 dogs at home, a 4 year old female cocker spaniel and a 1 year old female jack Russell puppy. They are both good with dogs and other animals.

“What a wonderful lady Lisa is! Made me feel immediately comfortable and my little pup took to her straight away. Regular updates and she even acknowledged my birthday with a beautiful card and flowers! Highly recommend - will definitely use Lisa going forward xx”

“A big thank you to kate for looking after our two border collies whilst we attended a wedding for 2 nights. We felt comfortable leaving the girls with kate she's very calm and down to earth which put both me and the girls at ease. We had regular updates and came home to 2 happy pooches and a tidy home. Thanks again.”

About: I have had pets of all sorts all my life. Having three dogs most my life, cats, Guinea pigs, hamsters, horses and chickens. From a young age I have always been super interested in looking after pets, I used to enter my dogs into dog shows in my village and around my village and have even competed some other peoples dogs. I am very comfortable with all sorts of different animals, this includes feeding, cleaning, mucking out, brushing etc.. From a young age I have competed with horses, participating in pony club camp, where I learnt proper mucking out and horse care. As I have got a older I have done a fair few jobs relating to animals, in particular dog sitting with my own dogs aswell as other peoples. I am good at getting up early to let the dogs out in the morning and film them and I am comfortable with all ages of dogs. I am comfortable with giving dogs required medication and I also have experience in worming cats, dogs and horses. I am currently a university student looking to earn some extra money doing something I truly love, hanging out with animals. At home I am surrounded by animals all the time, but feel I am slightly lacking this at university. I have my car up at university so I am flexible to drive to collect animals or look after animals. I have lots of free time and have Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays off aswell as lots of free have days the rest of the time. There is a small fenced garden out of the front of the house I live in currently. The area I live in is surrounded by many parks which are easily accessible to walk dogs in.

About: I have taken care of dogs ever since I was little. My first interaction with a dog was when my uncle brought home an adorable Labrador puppy called Charlie and been a dog lover ever since then. In more recent year myself and my partner have looked after multiple dogs of borrow my doggie and really enjoyed helping out. I work for a children’s charity, and work from home 4 days a week. I usually go for a shorter walk in the mornings and at lunch time and then after I clock off from work I will go out for an hour or so. Plenty of opportunities to get out and about. We live in the countryside with a large fenced garden. When having dogs stay before they often love exploring the smells and pond in the garden. If staying at your house we will adapt to your routines and expectations of the dog.

About: As a dog lover with years of training dogs with my mum being a dog agility teacher, i would offer a reliable and caring environment for your furry friends. Daily walks and overnights stays, with all the attention they will ever want! They’ll always have there tails wagging! I’ve experienced working with lazy dogs, playful dogs, reactive dogs so will always be open to learning what they need! I’m currently looking for a new role in the industry and this is something I’d be passionate about! I would give them all the care and attention that they need! I would offer on lead and off leads walks, feed them, cuddle them, make them feel how u would when your at home with them!

About: I have owned 2 dogs, 20 rabbits and 3 Russian dwarf hamsters (household) growing up. I even have experience with goats, chickens, cows in my family’s farm. I have grown up to love and respect animals by handling them with care, educating myself about them and their environment and recognised their needs and individuality. I am able to keep my dog occupied despite the weather being gloomy. I walk my dog once or twice a day as this would also benefit my physical health, working on my cardio. I even listen to podcasts to support my learning ability for my education. I go over tricks with my dog and even teach her new ones too! She’s quite a lazy dog and loves to sleep a lot so I give her some time to relax after long days.

“Really appreciated Matthew making himself available at extremely short notice in a situation in which we were dealing with family illness. It was hugely appreciated.”
