About: Hi im izzie. You’ll usually find me on the slopes instructing young kids how to snowboard, but while im waiting for the snow to come in I like to work as a pet sitter and dog walker. My family have always had dogs and other pets so im very confident in looking after pets and look forward to meeting your pets and giving them a good experience on their walks or while you’re on holiday! Having always lived with dogs im very comfortable around all sorts of breeds as well as aiding in the training of my dogs. I’m currently unemployed as my work as a snowboard instructor has time off during the split in the seasons. I’ve just returned from a season in japan and will be heading off to australia in june. But while im waiting for the snow to come in my schedule is fully flexible and I can work around booking that I get due to not having a set work schedule to live by. What you need I can give. I think it’s important when looking after your pet that while you’re gone, as little changes for them as possible. So sticking to their routine so they feel as comfortable as possible and can build trust with me while you aren’t there. My goal for them is to feel as safe as possible while having fun at the same time.

About: I've looked after many different dogs and cats, including rescues. I'm very experienced with medium-larger dogs and have also looked after smaller breeds. I'm very good with more timid or nervous pets as my relaxed nature tends to put them at ease, and even if they don't end up cosying up to me they still feel comfortable around me! I've also looked after cats with health problems, including multiple injections a day, asthma masks, pills and so on. I have lots of experience looking after multiple pets - the most was a month with 2 German Shepherds, a Labrador, and a Jack Russell! As I work fully from home I'm able to be looking after your pets at all times and subsequently very flexible in terms of dates of sits if anything changes last minute. I'm very clean and tidy and always treat wherever I'm living as though it were my own property, leaving it in the same or better shape than I found it! Although I'm a musician I don't make too much noise, and don't need to play my saxophone if your neighbours are close or you're in a flat etc, and when I compose I'm able to use headphones so no need to worry!

About: Hi, I’m Joel. I’m a Teaching Assistant in a Special Educational Needs (SEN) setting, regularly involved in outdoor activities and Forest School sessions. This means I’m at my happiest outdoors, rain or shine, and I’m used to managing a variety of unique needs with patience and a calm, positive approach. Working in an SEN environment has taught me how to read body language and learn to provide care for each individual’s needs - skills that translate perfectly to dealing with our furry friends! Whether your dog is a zoomy explorer who loves adventure or a more nervous personality who needs a gentle, patient companion, I can adapt my walking style to suit them. Why choose me? * DBS-Checked: I hold a current Enhanced DBS through my school role. * Genuine Love For The Outdoors: Spending most of my work and free time outside, all year long. * SEN Expertise: I’m highly patient and experienced with 'big' personalities and complex needs. * Reliable & Responsible: I’m used to following strict safety protocols and routines. * Experience with reactive/nervous dogs: Growing up at home with rescue dogs with challenging behaviours, learning to nurture and understand dogs both confident and nervous. Reach out with any queries you might have and I’ll respond as soon as I am able. Initial meet and greets with dogs are completely free as I’ll be eager to get to know the dogs before we set off on our first walk together! I work school hours during the week, which means I am free from 3:30pm weekdays. On weekends I can be available and flexible with hours, also being able to offer full time availability during school holidays. I can’t wait to meet your four-legged friends and share some fun fuelled walks! I can commit my full focus and attention towards your four legged loved ones, as I get as much joy being around them as they hopefully will around me! I have a very calm demeanour which I like to think helps the people and dogs around me feel the same way too.

“Trinity looked after my two whippets for two weekends whilst I was away. Trinity was very good at communicating throughout; from before she came until she left. The dogs were well looked after and exercised, and she left the house clean. I will definitely book Trinity again.”

About: I’ve always had dogs in the house, frequently walking feeding and playing with them. I’ve looked after neighbours and friends dogs ensuring that they’re well taken care of and happy I’m currently a student at university, so I have plenty of free time during weekdays to take care of your dogs! I’m also available weekends I’m great at following any instruction you give me, ensuring that your dog sticks to their routine and feel comfortable and safe while you’re away. I will follow any house rules that you have, and will do my best to make the experience as smooth as possible ensuring you and your pet have the best experience

“Amy was a great sitter. We did a meet and greet in advance of her stay. She was very patient with our nervous little rescue dog and took things at her pace. She kept us well informed and communication was good. We would book Amy again.”

“Gabi did a great job of looking after our 7 month old puppy, 5yo rescue dog and dictatorial cat. Her comms was excellent, she was reliable, and everyone was happy at the end of the day. Thanks, would recommend!!”

“We returned home last night after a fortnight away! Cris and Monika house sat for us and loved and spoiled our dog Aimee whilst we were away. We had regular updates with pics and vids and it was clear to us from these that we made the right decision. This was to have her looked after at home but most importantly that we had chosen Cris and Monika. We (but more importantly Aimee) couldn’t be more happy.”

Jonathan F.

“Mia was an excellent sitter and companion for our rescue dog. Very calm, kind and competent. Took the trouble to meet us first which was greatly appreciated as our dog doesn't warm to everyone. We needn't have worried as our dog clearly loves Mia! Thank you and we look forward to more bookings with you.”

About: Hello, I’m Clara. I’ve grown up with dogs and have been regularly dog walking and pet sitting for a number of families for several years. During that time, I’ve cared for dogs of different breeds, sizes and temperaments, including young puppies. I take a calm, attentive approach and always adapt to each dog’s routine and needs, whether that’s exercise, companionship, or a bit of extra reassurance while you’re away. I’m happy to walk dogs in all weather and make sure they get the activity and engagement they need. I’m reliable, responsible, and take pride in providing consistent, high-quality care. I’m based in Chichester and would be happy to arrange a time to meet you and your dog. I work 4 days a week, 0900-1630, in Chichester and I have Wednesdays and weekends off work. I am available every morning and evening, 7 days a week, for dog walking. If youre based in Chichester, I'm happy to housesit/petsit anytime, my husband and I are out of the house for about 6 hours max per day. Whilst I do live in a flat, I have access to a large park within 50m of my flat and I am committed to ensuring your pet has regular breaks outside for either a short walk or a wanders, of course as well as their longer walk.

“Neo was very happy being looked after by Daisy, when he first met her he didn’t want her to leave. I left instructions advising we have been trying to teach Neo how to sit and when we returned after a week and I gave him a treat he sat straight away and has continued to do so since! I’m really impressed! We came home to a very happy and chilled boy!”

About: I can’t remember a time I didn’t have a dog and while at university I miss mine deeply. I’ve been left alone for the past 4 years to take care of my two Labradors Bella and Leo, since my parents travel for long periods of time often. My grandma has also had two elderly dogs now and I am more than capable of caring for them too. I am also used to caring for my friend’s and family’s dogs when they travel too, so I am used to dogs big and small. I am an attentive, kind person who is organised and friendly. I am confident in my ability to care for animals in the way they deserve to be cared for. I am a university student in 3 times a week. I am still free most of those evenings. I have a lot of spare time even after my university classes. In your home I will respect your space, ensuring everything looks the same as you left it. I am more than capable of cleaning up dogs messes and ensuring they are clean and happy when you return home.

“Cath was absolutely amazing with our crazy boy! We got regular updates and photos and he seemed so happy when we came home. Our home was looked after beautifully, we couldn’t recommend enough! Thank you Cath xxxx”

About: Im about to start a course in Animal Care but have been looking after Friends Dogs for a while now either at my own house or at their homes and I love it so I thought I’d offer my services to others. I am Flexible, so please ask me, I’ll always do my best to accommodate what is needed and make it work so your pet gets the best care. If I am looking after your pet it will be spoiled and well cared for, I have 2 Daughters 13 and 20 who will happily play, chill and come out for Walks as well, our home will be your pets home for the time he or she is with us or if I’m at your home I will be the guest in your pets eyes, therefore I will be respectful.

About: I have lived most of my life with one or more dogs at home and my family currently has four of them. For me, home is where the dog is. During university, my flatmate and I fostered 9 different dogs spread out over 2 years. The dogs were awaiting their flights to their forever homes, travelling from Cyprus to the UK. The periods of fostering ranged from 2 weeks to 3 months. This has taught me to take care of anxious dogs who had never had homes before or had been poorly treated by their owners. I also regularly dog sit my friend's 2 year old female labrador, as well as my family dogs. Unfortunately the place I rent doesn’t allow pets and so am restricted to drop in visits, house sitting and doggy walks. As I am a junior doctor, my availability will be very dependent on my rota schedule, however I am happy to discuss and work around it whenever possible. Many walks throughout the day, some exercise in the park and even some training if asked. Thanks to my childhood and the fostering experience I have carried out during university, I am able to easily adapt to different characters and breeds easily as well as adapting to your dog's specific needs.

“Penelope was kind and caring, she kept me updated throughout her stay and my pup was happy when I got home. Definitely will ask her to sit for me again.”
