“Nicola is a beautiful soul, inside and out, I know this as one of my cats was happy to say hello to her each visit. My cats had been well cared for while I was away, I have booked Nicola again for next weekend...that should tell you my thoughts. Thank you Nicola and Rover!”


“Fantastic service. Nathalie was friendly, professional and my cats have been looked after very well. I would highly recommend and would happily have her to look after them again.”


“The cats were fed well after an initial bump. I explained the feeding requirements but they forgot and sent me a message requesting to know how many pouches they should feed the cats As I was on a cruise I wasn't able to respond and could not get a reply from customer services. I asked my niece to go to the house and feed the cats for one day as they had been underfed and she left a note explaining what the requirements were but I shouldn't really have had to do this.”


“I have always used kennels when going away but thought I would try home visits and walking service instead to see how it goes. We'll I am very impressed after booking Athina services she came to our house prior to discuss things further and to meet Milo. This put us at ease straightaway and gave us peace of mind. Athina was always on time and would keep you updated with feed/water and toilet times during the visit. When booking Athina would keep in touch to make sure everything was in place and on schedule before the visits, great service and will be using her services again.”


“Claire was fantastic and we felt very relieved with her looking after Misty - really caring and great updates whilst we were away. Will use Claire again and would recommend- thank you Claire!”


About: 💯 18+ Years experience 👩🏫 Qualified at level 7 🐕 Canine first aid trained 👮 DBS checked And…happy to look after all species! From dogs to horses to parrots to tortoises. With extensive experience in exotics, I’ll even look in on your tarantula collections! With over 18 years experience working in animal care, ranging from zoo keeping and wildlife rescue through to sanctuary and rehoming, there isn't much that I haven't seen or done. I originally trained to level 5 in animal care and did a stint in vet nursing, travelled the world for 5 years and ended up doing two degrees in conservation...don’t ask me why, because when I met my first greyhound upon returning to the UK (a 40kg white horse of a dog who nearly broke my nose) my best laid plans of working in conservation, ecology and wildlife rehabilitation went fully, and thoroughly, out the window and my obsession with all things sighthound (and dogs in general) began. I studied canine nutrition and deep dived into behaviour, ran a greyhound rehoming centre for a few years before moving to a national mix-species rescue where I learnt even more about domestic rescue, behaviour and care. Now, I am working toward starting my own sighthound rehoming charity alongside 8 other amazing women, while running my pet care services business on the side. Am I little bit mad? Absolutely. But will I give your pets the best possible care and love them as if they were my own? 100% Qualified, fully insured, DBS checked and trained in canine first aid, you will get a professional, trusted pet care services in chosing me to meet your pets needs. This is my full time job, so I live and breath pet care. My services include dog walking, pet pop-ins, sitting and holiday care, mobile microchipping, nail clipping, grooming and more! So, whatever you need, just drop me a message. I offer a free 30 minute in-person consultation with pet owners to go over their specific pets needs, and have in depth forms in which I gather all the pets details, likes and dislikes etc to make sure that I can provide a personalised service.

About: Fully insured for pet sitting. I have years of experience caring for dogs of different breeds and temperaments. I crate and toilet trained both family spaniels, now aged 1 and 4. They are both high energy dogs, so plenty of playtime and mental stimulation is important. I also have experience taking care of my families senior dogs. Catering to things such as dietary requirements, medication, patience and extra attention. I’m confident in creating a safe and loving environment for every pet. My partner and I have recently moved into our own home and I deeply miss my family dogs. I’d love the opportunity to occasionally host and care for your furry friend. Pet care fits seamlessly into my day as I work from home 90% of the time. The day can be started with a morning walk ensuring your pet gets fresh air and plenty of exercise. Throughout the day they have the option to stay inside or play in the garden. I can provide regular feeding, playtime and companionship, adjusting to your pets needs. If a dog is staying with me, I would incorporate their care into my schedule. My routine is structured but adaptable. In my home I can provide a safe, cozy, stress free environment tailored to your pets needs. With direct access to a secluded field, your furry friend can enjoy adventures in a safe and open space. Safety and trust is paramount when looking after your dog. I recommend the use of sturdy leads, harnesses when walking and will always keep a close eye on their surroundings. I completely understand the importance of your pets well-being and want to assure you I am fully insured with pet sitting coverage. While I truly hope nothing happens when your pet is in my care, please know that you can have peace of mind knowing I am fully prepared for any unforeseen circumstances.

“Lucy was absolutely brilliant while looking after my cat. From the moment we got in touch, her communication was spot on – always quick to reply and super friendly. While I was away, she sent regular updates and plenty of photos. I’d definitely recommend Lucy to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet-sitter. Will 100% be asking her again next time I’m away.”


“Sharon was amazing! From the meet and greet we knew they would get along, she made sure he ate, played and had fusses on her drop in visits! The messages were super detailed which were amazing, let us know he was in good hands! Sharon is doing another 2 drop ins in 2 weeks and I know Rufus will be excited to see her and will definitely be using in future 😊 Thank you!!”


“Great experience. Mel looked after Harry in my house for a 60-minute drop-in visit. Did a meet and greet beforehand, responded quickly and kept me updated. Lots of photos of Harry too. Definitely recommend.”


About: Hi! 😊 I'm a lifelong dog lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments—including rescue dogs with complex needs. My partner and I share a calm, loving home with our own dog, Marnie, a medium-sized rescue who is the center of our world. We spend most of our time with her and love including the dogs we care for in our everyday activities—whether that’s exploring new walking routes, relaxing at home, or discovering fun dog-friendly spots. I understand that every dog is unique, and I’m committed to providing care that’s tailored specifically to your dog’s needs and routines. If your dog is crate trained, we have a clean, comfortable crate available. If they’re used to being on furniture, they’re welcome to make themselves at home here. Sleeping arrangements are flexible too—dogs are welcome to sleep upstairs with us, downstairs, or in their crate depending on what works best for them (and you). Whether your dog needs a quick 20-minute stroll or a few hours of activity throughout the day, I can adapt their walking schedule accordingly. Feeding routines are also fully flexible to suit your dog’s dietary needs and preferences. I work on a hybrid basis with a flexible schedule, so I can be home and fully present when needed. I have experience with a wide range of breeds, from larger dogs like retrievers, to medium-sized spaniels, and smaller bull breeds and terriers. I especially understand the care, patience, and attention that rescue dogs may require, and I’m well equipped to support dogs with those needs. Most importantly, we treat every dog as part of the family—with kindness, attentiveness, and plenty of affection. I’d love the opportunity to meet your pup and provide them with a home-away-from-home experience I work on a hybrid basis, which is very flexible, so I can work around you and your dogs needs. Your dog will be the priority for me during their stay, and I’m always home to make sure no one is left too long or at all if needed. On discussion with you I will ensure your dogs needs are catered to. I take into account the needs of your dog whether that be that they want to be closer to me or they want space. I am happy to let them on furniture or if you would rather they don’t I will go by your wants and needs. My dog is part of the family and sticks by my side. We have a completely enclosed back garden for toilet breaks & play. We have a front drive but don’t let dogs onto it if not on a leash. I live in a quiet and calm area with a close by park for lots of walks. It is just me & my partner in the house so very little noise. Snacks & cuddles are frequent!

About: I adopted a rescue German Shepherd cross 2 years ago and trained him from 5 months old. I love all animals and feel they should have the chance to live life to the fullest. With me your dog will have adventures, fun walks and play, socialisation with my dog, and a cosy place to relax. I am a full time dog walker and boarder. I provide solo and group walks, day care and boarding to give you peace of mind and your dog the best experience. I have a fenced garden and lovely walks along the canal. Merlin (my dog) is here to keep your fur baby company. I have separate rooms for if your dog needs some space. Dogs are allowed on furniture for cuddles and lots of treats and toys for fetch, tug and chewing.

About: I started at a young age walking neighbours dogs,I fed my grandmas dog by hand when he was very old, I currently have a large dog who is very nervous, always have to be ready to react if something startles her. I’m currently a cleaner and look after customers cats and dogs during holidays, I’m looking to move more into pet/house sitting starting with weekend stays and weekday visits I’m happy to walk upto 3 dogs at a time from the same family. I can only do owners home care and I’m happy to stay over or do regular day visits

About: I'm a dog person, I enjoy being in the company of dogs and I’ve had dogs my whole life. I would have a clan of dogs if I could. But for now this is the next best thing. I will treat your dog like they are part of the family they won’t know you’ve gone. Check out my photos, for more insight, they’ll be spoilt rotten. Dogs truly are a hoomans best friend. I work from home and so does my partner, we are very flexible and always in. My dog loves company and has the friendliest temperament. She’s in her element when she has a friend. She does like to get up for a loo break 5am sometimes earlier most mornings so this is something we are used to for the smallest 🐶. Any dogs that experience depression anxiety won’t feel it here. They are never left alone. We have a large garden that needs to be taken advantage of from our fave 4 legged friends and I am flexible to walk your dog to their routine. They will be treated like they are part of the family. All rules you uphold with them will be kept the same e.g allowed on sofa, sleep upstairs, walks at certain times ect.

“Fabiana is so kind and professional; our dog is quite anxious around new people in our home and Fabiana has been very assertive this week, getting to know Lara before her drop in sessions. We’ll definitely be using Fabiana again ❤️🐕”


About: Hi, I’m Millie - a lifelong dog lover with years of personal experience caring for pups of all shapes, sizes, and ages 🐶 I grew up in a dog-filled household where we often had three dogs at a time, ranging from playful puppies to senior companions. I’ve always been involved in their care—feeding, walking, training, and most importantly, giving them the love and attention they deserve. I now live with my partner in our own home, and we don’t have any pets of our own (yet!). We both really miss having a furry friend around, and dog sitting is the perfect way to share our love for dogs while helping pet parents feel at ease when they’re away. Both me and my partner work from home, so your pup will have lots of company, playtime, and cuddles. I occasionally head out for short community visits as part of my job, but I’m never gone for more than two hours at a time. Your dog’s comfort, routine, and safety will always be my top priority. I will always be transparent, ask permission, and communicate well. I will always treat your pet like my own and ensure they are well cared for and loved. We have an enclosed back garden so your pup will be safe having toilet breaks and play time outside.

About: As a former Royal Marine and current firefighter, I bring a high level of fitness, discipline, and reliability to everything I do—including caring for your dog. I owned two dachshunds for nearly three years, so I understand the responsibility and joy that comes with looking after pets. My shift pattern is four days on, four days off, which means my availability can vary slightly week to week, but I always communicate clearly and show up on time. I’m confident handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and I treat every walk as a chance to give your dog a safe, structured, and fun experience. I have just finished my career within the royal marines, and am now waiting for my firefighting training to begin in September. Until then I want to fill my days with walking as many dogs as possible! To both keep my fitness up as well as making new friends In-Home Pet Care: - **Safety First:** I ensure a secure, clean environment free of hazards. - **Routine and Comfort:** I maintain pets' usual routines, including feeding, exercise, and medication schedules, to minimize stress. - **Exercise and Play:** Daily walks, playtime, and mental stimulation tailored to each pet's needs. - **Health Monitoring:** Regular checks for any signs of illness or discomfort, with prompt attention if needed. - **Training and Discipline:** Positive reinforcement techniques to encourage good behavior and obedience. At the Pet Owner's Home: - **Consistent Care:** I follow the pet owner's guidelines for feeding, exercise, and any special requirements. - **Home Security:** Ensuring the home is secure and pets are safe, with regular checks on locks, gates, and surroundings. - **Personalized Attention:** One-on-one time with each pet to build trust and provide companionship. - **Cleanliness:** Maintaining a clean environment, including litter boxes, feeding areas, and any pet-related messes. - **Updates and Communication:** Regular updates and photos to keep owners informed and reassured about their pets' well-being.

jane t.
“I have known Jane for almost 4 years, when i was going in hospital for open heart operation, my daughter searched for someone who showed care and who we could trust and rely on. It was to sit my two cats Oscar and Polly for the 9 days of my hospital stay. I am pleased to say my daughter hit the jackpot when she chose Jane, I have used Jane several times now and she ticks every box. I went in the hospital again just for 2 day and left jane to work her wonders again, my cats just loved her so i was always happy to leave my babies in Janes care, the 2 days of my hospital stay escalated to almost 6 weeks, I was so worried about my cat but true to form jane came up trumps and assured me she would continue her care as long as needed, she had to buy food, cat litter treats and everything that was needed. I was sent photographs of my babies and she kept me update for all my hospital stay.”
