“This was the first time I've used Lisa's services. She is usually joined by her partner in petsitting but because Talula is a timid cat and only used to one on one company I asked her to come alone. This she did, with good grace. Lisa managed to win over Talula, so much so, that she allowed herself to be brushed! Quite an achievement and it was lovely to come home to a well-groomed, contented cat :-). Lisa kept in touch with just the right amount of communications and some delightful photos. Everything I asked her to do she did so diligently. I have no hesitation in recommending Lisa. Thank you.”


About: We are Craig and Jude and we have experience looking after dogs of all breeds and sizes. We do anything from walks in the day to overnight boarding for holidays. We love to meet new dogs and want them to feel like they have a second home with us. We have a business set up to be able to look after dogs all day everyday. Whether you want us to nip in and check on your dog in your home or they want to come and see us and spend the days in our house or just want to join us in a secure dog walking field once or twice a day we want to make sure you are comfortable your dog has everything they need. We have a 3 bedroom house with a secure garden that your dog will be free to make a home from home. We will introduce them to any other dogs we look after to make sure you can see they are happy. We will send you as many or as few pictures and videos throughout the day so you can see how happy they are.

About: I’ve owned dogs, cats and horses but now (post career) simply love to take care of other peoples’ ‘pampered pets’ so it allows me the freedom to travel in between assignments. I retired from a 36 year corporate career job (a couple of leading global international private equity firms) on 6th December ‘22 and am now free 7 days a week to choose how I spend my time; I am already working as an independent Dog / House Sitter and offer Boarding in my home - a BESPOKE service (one on one) and have decided to expand my client base a little. On occasions I stay in the pet owner's home, currently I have one regular client who travels nine times per year. Dogs/pets receive a high level of care from me: health, wellness, nutrition, lots of exercise, relaxation (sheepskin rugs), good discipline but we have fun and play time - these things are important to me personally and pets deserve the best! I deal with all elements of animal care in a professional, health & safety oriented, caring manner and bring great life experience, common sense and a wide array of skills to the table. Everyone can be reassured their dog / pet is loved and safe with me in a calm and peaceful environment and I am an honorable and trusted person with a 36 year career in office and people management and mentoring behind me / project management / health & safety .

About: I have several years of experience looking after my friends and neighbours dogs (a wide range of breeds and sizes) both for short day visits and longer overnight and weekend stays. I’m currently working from home several days a week so can be available for short home visits during my breaks or do day boarding at my home. I have a semidetached house with lots of space and a large enclosed/secure garden for your dog to play in. I’m near several parks and country lanes for walks.

About: I grew up with a border terrier and then got a cocker spaniel when I was a real adult. I am a strong believer in a trained dog and so I am not a push over with them but I do love cuddles. I now live alone with my dog Ezri, Ezri is a cocker spaniel who gets on with all dogs and so your pup will need to like him too. I work fulltime from home, and so I walk Ezri in the mornings and evenings and so able to provide company to dogs during the day and some evenings and able to take them out at lunchtime if needed. I have a ground floor flat and have my own dog who will be here at all times. I have a spare room if required to separate the dogs and space for a cage if supplied. Ezri is crate-trained and so this is available too. I am at home most of the time during the day. Dogs are allowed on my furniture, but very happy to keep them off if these are your rules at home.

About: Dog pet care is an active and engaging experience, filled with the joys of companionship and the responsibilities of ensuring a happy and healthy life for your canine friend. It encompasses everything from daily walks and playtime to consistent training and providing a safe and comfortable home environment. Allow me to continue looking after your furry friend when you are away from home! I’m a full time nurse working out in the community. I work shifts so often have days off in the week frequently when pet owners are unable to be at home. Part of my job is to visit people’s home and provide care when they need it most. This is reflected in my pet care and sitting experience. Offering a trusting, kind and friendly environment for you and your furry companion!

About: We both grew up with dogs and finally got one of our own. We regularly look after friends dogs and are keen to help other dog owners in the area. Both work from home and our jobs are flexible so we can work around your dog routine. We normally walk Baron in local fields so he gets a good run around. We have a decent sized, fenced garden. Our jobs are home based and Baron spends most of his day sleeping in our office. We build Baron’s routine into our lives and we can easily incorporate your dogs needs into our day to day.

About: I’ve never had the fortune to have my own dog and I still don’t. This is why I consider each dog my own! I’m trying to fill a dog-shaped hole in my heart with yours. In doing so, my aim is to have you feel at peace that your fur baby is in responsible, responsive, and diligent hands while you’re away. I work from home multiple times a week. I’m happy to find an arrangement that works for everyone. I’m also free in the weekends and most evenings. I believe in respecting the pet owner’s space as you’re trusting us 100% with it. In my previous pet-sitting stints, I’ve always looked in on the house itself when I checked in on the pet. I’m also an avid plant lover and I’d love to keep an eye out for your prized possessions.

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 2 month old female jack Russell puppy. They are both good with dogs and other animals.

About: I have a beautiful Border Collie called Buddy who I trained from a young pup. I’ve also spent a lot of time around animals growing up & have volunteered in an animal shelter while in Australia 😊 I love dogs of all shapes, sizes and characters! I’m based in Banbury, Oxfordshire. I am a marketing professional by trade but am currently in between jobs so I have flexibility for dog sitting. I’ll spend quality time with your doggie including much needed play time, walks, regular toilet breaks, and anything else that is required. I can adapt to each dog :)

About: In my 20’s during a live in role I had sole care for a rescued German Pointer requiring 8 miles exercise each day. I’ve more recently lived and worked on a farm and had full care in families regular absences of working dogs, highland cattle, chickens, kune kune piglets. Currently I work regularly as sitter for a number of labradors which included full care for a 10week old Labrador girl Lillie. This involved all aspects of toilet training and puppy care. Breeds to date as clients also include, Working Cocker Spaniels, Retrievers, Weimeraner, German Pointer, Vizlas, Boxer (puppy). I also care for two senior Labrador’s 11-14yrs of age both of whom have various health issues and hip problems. I am free to walk/sit dogs as well as walking my own working cocker spaniel along with for socialisation. I am free to dedicate my day to your pets care. I am used to staying in others homes along with their pets and keep to the pets usual routines as much as possible. I’m used to crate training, toilet training for puppies, long walks for working dogs, as well as easier walks for those with hip issues or elderly dogs.

About: Ever since I was born I have lived and grown up with dogs in the house. I’ve also been in a house whilst a family member of mine had his own dog boarding business ( having 13 dogs in our house during doggy day care! ) So I am no stranger to being around animals. I currently live with my family here in Warwick with our two huskies Rey and Suki. I also often visit my auntie and her little Floof Diddy! I am travelling in March 2025 so looking to take on some pet sitting and care to earn some extra money with the benefit of great company🥰 I am happy to follow any rules or restrictions you have in your home whether that’s crate training, no pets on furniture or in certain rooms, no human food etc. If allowed your pet is more than welcome to share the bed if they are cuddlers at night:)

About: We have both (a fun and active couple) grown up with pets throughout our childhood and early adult life. This includes taking care of and training our sweet family dogs, including fun agility courses! As well as caring for friends’ pets. We both work from home so we are always available and able to go out for regular walks, time to play and actively look after dog(s). As we both work from home we are always able to provide an active and attentive focus on the dog(s). We have an open plan downstairs with a enclosed back garden for the dogs to roam around freely in. We also live in the countryside so there are plenty of nice walks around.

About: We have had dogs all our lives (most recently a Dachshund & Basset Fauve.) Currently we have 2 working Labradors alongside pigs, ducks and chickens, all trained and socialised to different skills. We want our animals to have the best and most fun lives possible and that means the company of other dogs, so please do get in touch. We are lucky enough to have a relaxed home where either myself (Jak) or my wife Rebecca are always home and dogs can have constant access to our enclosed garden in a rural location. Our dogs have daily walks and regular training sessions. We work from home with a light and flexible schedule. It has to be this way to allow us to care for large variety of animals. With dogs of all ages at home we are well used to each of them having different needs. We have therefore created a setup that can cater for puppies and dogs wanting all different types of company and stimulation. Be that joining our older dogs who just want to sleep on the sofa all day to playing with our puppy in a different part of the house and garden to those who just want to be in the company of us.

He's gentle and caring with him, and is one of Marvin's favourite people - he recognises Justin by name and is always overjoyed to see him.

Lili H.
“I’ve been using Lili for several months now, and I couldn’t be happier with the care and attention they give my dog. From the very first walk, it was clear they genuinely love animals and take their job seriously. My dog always comes back happy, well-exercised, and clearly comfortable with them. Communication is great—I’m always updated with photos and notes after each walk. It’s such a relief to know my pet is in safe and caring hands. If you’re looking for someone reliable, kind, and professional, I wholeheartedly recommend Lili!!”
