“Reliable and the dogs are happy”

“What can i say? The moment Joel walked through our door i knew i could trust him with my precious dogs. My two are elderly and immediately warmed to him. Yes! Of course he had treats but only one. I watched Joel carefully as owners do and his reactions to both was loving and caring. PERFECT. I asked him to look after them whilst i went to London for the day. He sent regular pics and messages. I returned to happy dogs.”

“Millie looked after our small puppy for a day in the intense heat we've been experiencing. She played with her and kept her cool and content. A lovely girl who cared for our puppy as if it was her own. Will definitely be booking with Millie again, she was great.”

About: I’ve taken care of family & friends dogs/cat for many years now and have grown up with them all my life! I’m lucky enough to also help out and work at dog events such as Goodwoof & Dogstival. This included walking, feeding and assisting all the owners and dogs needs throughout the whole day. I currently have a rescue dog myself from Crete and I have dedicated my time and effort helping with her anxiety towards other dogs, walks and loud noises. As well as training her some new tips and tricks, so I understand the importance of ensuring a dog feels comfortable especially in their own home. I work Monday - Friday but work one day at home (of my choice) so I am available at 5pm onwards and I am available to stay overs or walks. I am free all weekend nights and days for stay overs or walks. I would ensure that I understand all the animals needs fro maybe owner before taking care of them. Knowing things that makes them less stressed, at home and some of their favourite walk areas

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and have experience with all animals from bunnies to horses! I sadly recently lost my 13 year old rescue dog so am used to anxious dogs with behaviour quirks (as I like to call them!) and will treat your dog with respect, love and lots of cuddles. I am happy to feed, play or snuggle with your dog and do whatever is needed to make them feel comfortable as well as what makes you comfortable! I currently work full time but am around in the evenings and/or weekends for drop ins and/or walking! Make sure to book them weekend plans because I’ve got you covered I have experience with a number of different dogs from friendly to nervous and needing a little more time to trust. I am always happy to follow your instructions of what works best for your pet and follow a schedule that works for you. I am a dog owner myself so know how important it is to leave your dog with someone you trust, I will send pupdates with pictures and messages if you wish or if you wish to have a dog free weekend then rest assured your pet is in good hands!

“Lily was great at communicating, flexible, good with both my dogs and left the house tidy and clean on my return. Great job would use again.”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and cats and have always loved caring for animals. I started dog walking part-time a few years ago and have since gained lots of experience looking after different dogs and their individual needs. More recently, my sister and I started our own dog and pet sitting business. If you’d rather contact us through our social media, you can find us here: Dorricottdogsit I work on weekends, but I’m very flexible during weekdays for drop-ins, walks and pet care. I live close to lots of fields and great walking routes, so it’s easy for me to fit regular exercise and outdoor time into my daily routine My garden is completely secure, offering a safe space for dogs to play and explore. I live near plenty of fields and good walking areas for daily exercise. I also have proper safety equipment in my car to keep dogs secure during travel, ensuring comfort and peace of mind for owners.

About: I’m a friendly, reliable and DBS checked dog walker with hands-on experience from owning dogs over the years, as well as volunteering with the RSPCA in dog care. I’m comfortable with a range of breeds, sizes and temperaments, including rescue and nervous dogs, and I always take the time to understand each dog’s individual needs. Whether your dog needs a relaxed stroll or a more energetic walk, I’ll make sure they’re safe, happy and well cared for. I know how important trust is when it comes to your pet, so I’ll always provide a calm, caring approach, keep you updated, and treat your dog as if they were my own. 🐾 I currently work from home on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, which gives me flexibility for dog walks during the day. I’m available for walks during my lunch break (between 11:30am–2pm) and after work from 5pm onwards. Tuesdays are less flexible, but I may still have limited availability depending on the week. I’m generally available most weekends at any time, so I can be more flexible to suit your dog’s routine. I have experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes and personalities through both personal ownership and my volunteering with the RSPCA. This has given me confidence working with a range of temperaments, including dogs who may be nervous, shy or simply need a little extra patience to feel comfortable. For added peace of mind, I am DBS checked and have completed Canine First Aid Level 2 (VTQ) training, covering CPR, choking, bleeding control, seizures and other common canine emergencies. Your dog’s safety, wellbeing and happiness will always be my top priority. Every dog is different, so I believe walks should be tailored to their individual needs. Whether your dog enjoys a brisk walk, a slower-paced stroll or plenty of time to sniff and explore, I aim to provide a positive experience that leaves them happy, enriched and looking forward to their next adventure.

About: I am a 26 year old animal lover living in a gorgeous coastal town near Chichester, West Sussex. I have always lived with cats and dogs in my family of all shapes and sizes, including Spaniels, Tabby cats, German Shepherds and Labradors. I work remotely as a legal assistant whilst training to qualify as a family lawyer. I have a full driving license which enables me to take my friend’s and family’s dogs on nice long walks at the beach or in the woods. You can rest assured knowing your pet would be very looked after in my care. I currently work full time as a legal assistant but enjoy the benefit of working from home 5 days a week which enables me to provide care for your pets either living in with me, or by driving to your house to feed and play with your cat or walk your dog! I have a cottage-style fenced long garden which is perfect for lots of sniffs and room to play on our lawn. I have access to the garden via a back gate and a garden sink which is ideal for muddy paws! I live within walking distance to Bosham quay and have other great walk routes such as farmers fields and woodlands nearby. I have oak wooden floor throughout the downstairs of our home and are very used to having dogs overnight here.

“Cath is great and it was great to have someone caring for Mimi who has experience of nervous or anxious dogs. Cath came over for a meet and greet and asked some good questions to better understand Mimi. Cath is professional, great with Mimi and reliable. I would highly recommend Cath to look after your pooch.”

“It’s the first time leaving our shihtzu Boss with someone else - I was a little worried but Amelia put my mind at ease. She took on our request at the last minute and welcomed my long list of things I had on my mind (sorry!!). I got updates regularly and Boss was so relaxed during his time with Amelia. Thank you!”

“Jenni was absolutely wonderful with our senior dog, Bruno, while we were away. As anyone with an older dog knows, they require special care and attention to detail, and Jenni followed all of his routines perfectly. We came home to a happy dog and a beautifully clean house! We recommend Jenni and her family 100% anytime. Thank you so much, Jenni—we truly appreciate you!”
