“Nicola regularly walks our sausage dog Clive , she is very reliable and always so lovely. We feel very lucky to have Nicola and Clive loves her! Clive has recently had surgery which has meant there’s been lots of extra requests we have had for Nicola during her visits and she has been so kind and accommodating every time! We cannot recommend Nicola enough!”


“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.”


“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!!”


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: 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 amazing dropping in on Rufus! I knew they'd get along after the meet and greet, they got along great, she kept me updated and provided photos, even put a light on for him 😊 Will deffo ask Lucy to drop in again in future 😊 Thank you!!”


“Claire was amazing, looked after our 17 week old bitey zoomy puppy, for an hour at ours. Spent time playing inside and outside and catered to any of her needs. Excellent communication and professional, thank you Claire”


About: I have lived with dogs since I was 10 years old. We are a family of dog lovers and our dogs are our babies. I am new to sitting and walking but I have my own dog who I care for and walk every day. I have lots of ideas of dog walks and also know what it is like to care for a reactive dog as my dog can be anxious around other dogs. I am currently on holiday for the summer as a primary school teacher and looking to earn some extra money pet sitting and dog walking. This could be something I do more regularly when I start working again at weekends and evenings. I cannot care for dogs in my own home due to my dog being reactive however I am willing to come to your home. I will treat your home like my own and the safety of your pet will be of paramount importance. I will always think about how I would want someone to care for my dog when caring for your pets. Our pets are our babies and our family and that is how I will care for your pets.

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!

“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: 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: 💯 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.

“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: I’m not just a dog walker — I’m a lifelong animal enthusiast with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, from tiny toy breeds to large working dogs. I’ve also owned and cared for horses, giving me a deep understanding of animal behaviour and needs. I’m a full-time dog walker, sitter, and groomer, which means your dog is my priority every single day — not just in my spare time. I’m also canine first aid trained, so you can feel confident that your pet is in safe, knowledgeable hands. Whether your pup needs patient care as a senior, extra guidance as a puppy, or simply a friendly companion while you’re away, I tailor my approach to suit each dog’s personality and needs. If they could use a pamper during their stay, I can also provide professional dog grooming for a fresh and happy pup. Pet care is my career, so I’m available 7 days a week. I work with your schedule to offer flexible drop-off, collection, and walking times. My days revolve around dogs — they always come first, and I make sure each one gets plenty of attention, exercise, and love. Grooming sessions can be booked alongside walks or sitting for ultimate convenience. Your dog’s safety is my number one priority. I have a secure enclosed garden and a friendly, well-socialised dog at home to provide companionship. We live just minutes from beautiful walking spots, and I choose safe routes that match your dog’s energy level and ability. For extra peace of mind, I can crate your dog if needed, and my canine first aid training means I’m prepared for emergencies. I also make sure to keep you updated with messages, photos, and videos so you know exactly how much fun your pet is having.

“Alex was amazing with Arlo in the heat, made sure he was cool with some water play and kept him calm with lick mats. So nice not to worry and fully trust someone with our boy. Thank you xxx”


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.

Thomas B.
“Tom has looked after not only my two lovely dogs but also my mother’s dog as I recommended him to her and she was very very happy and satisfied with his care towards her Labrador ‘Freddie’. He not only takes my dogs out for 1.5-2 hours every day but he also provides enrichment activities such as playing tug of war with them and providing them chews, he then also bathes them if they are too muddy so that my dogs don’t ruin my carpets and sofa. Tom looks after them as if they were his own and truly provides them a safe and loving environment. Out on a walk he ensures their safety by recognising when other dogs are going to be too bouncy or playful and so puts my two dogs on a lead and avoids them so they don’t tell the bouncy dogs off as they are grumpy towards lively dogs.”
