About: I’ve been caring for friends’ and family members’ pets for over 5 years, building up plenty of hands-on experience with both cats and dogs. I have a real passion for animals and I’m a proud cat owner myself. I love spending time outdoors, so I’m always happy to take dogs on walks, including longer, high-energy outings. At weekends, you’ll often find me out on hikes, which makes me a great match for active dogs who need plenty of exercise and stimulation. I take my friends spaniel quite often on long walks, have him for sleepovers and I love building a bond with dogs and fitting them into my routine. I’m reliable, caring, and treat every pet as if they were my own. I currently work full-time, but I’m looking for something else in my life where I can help out and spend time with dogs. I’ll do my best to be available if you need me at specific times, though I do work from 8:30 to 5, however I do have the option to work from home if needed. I live in a semi-detached terrace house with a fenced garden. The stairs are quite steep, so any dog allowed upstairs would need to be able to manage them. There are plenty of nearby walking routes, and I also have a cat who is comfortable with dogs once she gets to know them - so a dog with prior experience around cats would be ideal.

“Meg looked after Rocky as a drop in over this weekend. Meg communicated to us during the visit & sent photos of a very relaxed dog. Feel very confident with Meg for her next booking which is overnight with Rocky.”

“Lucy is always amazing with my dog Rufus on all the many visits over the years He is a grumpy old man who just loves to sleep but always loves Lucy's visits to see him, even if he doesn't like getting out of bed 😂 Thank you so much as always 💕”

“Meghan was amazing! She looked after our little furball and was absolutely brilliant. Very punctual and took such good care of our cat Leo, very profesional but also really down to earth. Would recommend to anyone and we would go back to her again and again.”

“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.”

“I highly recommend Larna. She was wonderful with my border collie and very patient with her , my pup is only 4 months old so as you can imagine she is extremely giddy 😆 and gets very excited around everyone especially new people. Larna came by for a drop in visit beforehand to meet Aurora, I felt confident everything would go well for their first walk. Aurora was very good for Larna although she does pull . Aurora is in the middle of training and Larna was continuing to follow through demand training. Thank you Larna”

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.

“Our first time using a cat sitter and Nicky was amazing! She went above and beyond, kept us updated daily, and our cat Moustache was so much happier at home than in boarding. Professional, friendly, and gave us real peace of mind. Highly recommend!”

“Jill was great. She was super communicative and sent photos and updates when you checked in on our 3 month old puppy. She met him prior to the visit and was kind and gentle with him. Wouldn’t hesitate about using her in the future!”

“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: 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.

About: I’ve been lucky enough to spend my life surrounded by animals of all shapes and sizes – from playful pups and cuddly cats to tropical fish, and even bees! 🐝 Animals have always been a huge part of my world, and caring for them comes naturally to me. I have hands-on experience looking after dogs, cats, and fish. I’ve also trained my own dogs, which means I understand how important patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement are. Whether it’s a puppy learning the ropes, or an older dog who needs a gentler pace, I adapt to each animal’s unique needs. With bees, I’ve learned the importance of calm handling, respect, and attentiveness – skills I bring to all the pets I care for. Safety, trust, and making sure your pet feels comfortable are always my top priorities. Your furry (or finned!) family member will be cared for as if they were my own – with love, attention, and plenty of fun. A Day in My Care 🐾 • Morning Walks (7am – 9am): A refreshing start to the day with plenty of exercise, sniffing, and tail wags. Perfect for dogs who like to burn off energy first thing. Session length can be discussed. • Midday Visits (11am – 2pm): Feeding, toilet breaks, playtime, or a calm walk — tailored to your pet’s routine. • Afternoon Adventures (3pm – 5pm): Shorter walks as welcome as the longer ones, or quieter sessions in the garden depending on your dog’s needs. • Evening Check-Ins (6pm – 8pm): Dinner, toilet breaks, and some quiet companionship to wind down. Your pet’s safety and happiness always come first. I understand how much trust it takes to let someone else care for your furry family member, and I take that responsibility seriously. • Safety: I keep walks controlled, calm, and enjoyable. I only use secure leads and harnesses, avoid unsafe areas, and always pay attention to your dog’s comfort and limits. It’s always good to get to know your dog beforehand so let me know what they’re like both inside and outside, any behavioural quirks or anything else you might think useful. • Trust: Animals respond best when they feel safe and respected. I will take time to get to know your pet’s personality so they can relax and enjoy themselves while you’re away. • Environment: I adapt to your pet’s routine and surroundings to reduce stress and keep things familiar. Walks can be energetic adventures or calm strolls, depending on what your dog needs. You can feel confident knowing your pet will be cared for with patience, consistency, and kindness — as if they were my own.
