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.

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 have now been dog sitting with my partner since November and we have cared for multiple dogs needing different levels of care. We have received multiple bookings and positive feedback from all of our clients. We have our own dog who we care for and walk every day. We have lots of ideas of dog walks and also know what it is like to care for a reactive dog as our dog can be anxious around other dogs. I provide regular updates to you as an owner as I know how important this is for you. Every dog we have cared for has become part of our family for the short time we’ve had them and we always miss them and hope to see them again soon! I am looking to earn some extra money pet sitting and dog walking. As I am a primary school teacher this is something that me and my partner are able to do on evenings, weekends or school holidays. We are eager to fit in pet care at weekends and school holidays as it is something we really enjoying doing. We can care for dogs in our own home due to our dog being reactive he would not be in our home and would be cared for by my partner’s mum who shares the dog with us at her home. We treat your dog like our own and the safety of your pet is of paramount importance. We always think about how we would want someone to care for our dog when caring for your pets. Our pets are our babies and when your pet stays with us we welcome them in as a member of our family.

About: I currently own a 2 year old Beagle cross/Springer Spaniel so as you can imagine he needs lots of exercise and loves to socialise with other dogs. We go on 2 walks a day, these include off lead experiences in fields/woods and lead walks on the canal or visits to local trails and parks. We did attend a puppy training class once a week in which we’ve learnt several skills including recall, heal and usual tricks such as sit, lay and wait. I work full time from home Monday-Friday and can visit on weekends. Happy to visit pets in their home or they can stay with us if they get on well with other dogs I’m happy to care for your pets in your home at your request whether this includes feeding, spending time with them or letting them out for potty time.

“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!”

“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.”

“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!”

“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 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.

“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”

She kept me informed all the time when she was out with the dogs. Highly recommend her Was more than happy that she come call at short notice when I had to work away for the day and my wife just had hip surgery. Thank you Abi Will defo be in touch x”

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: 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.
