About: I’ve been taking care of family dogs for about 12 years now, including aiding in raising and house training two puppies. I have previously walked older dogs and am in tune with the needs of animals in my care. I mainly have availability on weekends and evenings depending on my working rota. I prefer at least a few days notice, however, can accept bookings the day prior if it fits into my schedule. I have experience walking dogs on leashes with control and care. I love giving pets and cuddles to animals, I find most pets tend to warm up to me very quickly! In a pet owners home I would take care of the dog in line with your instructions, ensuring the dog is happy and content throughout.

About: I’ve taken care of animals of various sizes, I’ve grown up on a hobby farm with many different animals and have throughly enjoyed looking after all of them. When I turned 20 I got my own dog as a therapy dog for myself, and I’ve trained her all myself while balancing a full-time undergraduate degree. I will bring the most loving and caring attitude towards every pet. I’m currently studying physiotherapy and have plenty of time and energy to enjoy taking dogs out walks on a daily basis or staying for the weekend. I am a trustworthy independent person who enjoys living in a clean home, so while making sure your pet is cared for in the best way, I can ensure you your home will stay in immaculate condition or better.

“Hannah is definitely 5 stars! I am so happy I found her on this site. I have a huge 60kg Cane Corso called Kodak, so he is very strong and powerful (sorry Hannah lol). Nonetheless, Hannah is not phased by his weight and size and I feel very confident in Hannah’s ability to look after my boy. Hannah is sensible and makes the right choices for Kodak - for example, I live quite rural and my dog walks are on farms, Hannah uses her judgement on whether to let my boy off the lead or not and makes the correct choice dependent on whether there are other dog walkers and dogs (Kodak does not like other dogs at times). Hannah is always on time (earlier to have a chat with me about Kodak) and on their half an hour walk today, Hannah gave him an extra 10 minutes! Very grateful for that, thank you Hannah! Kodak took to Hannah straight away, wanting strokes from her and pressing up against her. He likes Hannah which gives me great peace of mind. I am definitely using Hannah again! Thanks so much Hannah. Love Ashleigh and Kodak. X”

About: Myself and my partner have just started our own business (CW Pet Sitting), we have been around dogs and cats since a young age, I have owned multiple different dogs and we currently have 4 cats. They are well loved and given loads of attention. We have a passion for looking after animals and we always ensure the pets are happy and very attentive to their needs. We are available on a full time basis so I can visit the pets at any time of the day for however many days you require. When we go to the pet owners home, we ensure all needs are taken of. We will ensure the litter trays are clean (if it’s a cat), we will ensure clean water and plenty of food is given. We will give the pet loads of fuss and attention, we would take the dog for a walk if required / let the dog outside to ensure their needs are met. We would make sure they are happy whilst the pet owner is away.

About: Reliable, caring, and patient—your pets won’t just be watched, they’ll be loved. I give personalized attention, stick to routines, and make sure every wag, purr, and cuddle is genuine. Your pets’ happiness is my priority, and I treat each one like family Pet sitting fits seamlessly into my life—I work from home, so I’m always around to give attention, playtime, and cuddles. Plus, as a pet parent to my own two fur babies, I understand the love, care, and routines every animal needs I prioritize a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment for every pet. In my home, I make sure spaces are secure, hazards are removed, and pets have cozy spots, toys, and enrichment. At a pet owner’s home, I follow their routines exactly, respect their space, and ensure food, medication, and playtime are handled just as they would. I treat every pet like my own, giving love, attention, and reassurance while keeping their well-being my top priority

About: I have grew up with a Labrador who I was mainly taking care of by myself. In recent years I have been helping my friends and family with looking after their pups. I have some experience with rescue dogs and also looking after four dogs at once. I am working from home with a fair amount of flexibility so I can look after your pup all day weekdays and weekends as well. I am living in a flat with no garden, however only 2 mins walk from a big park. My home is pet friendly as I do often look after dogs of my friends and family.

“Reliable! Prince is sometimes quite fussy with new people but Charlotte has been very understanding and patient with getting to know him. Would 100% recommend”

About: I’ve taken care of my best friends dogs, she has five of them and i always taking them out to play. I also get dogs at my university. I'm good at adapting and following instructions, the more detailed the better. I've sat for my friends too who had dogs and cats. The one in my profile is my newest one her name is Bailey she's 3 years old and she really loves to play especially after eating she's always ready to play tug of war and hunting games since she's a Patterdale Terrier. I’m quite flexible throughout the week as I’m studying at home, so you can just pop me a message. And I’m free every weekend because I do my hobbies during the week. I make sure they’re well fed and clean of course and have unlimited attention and pets. When going on a walk I make sure to always hold the leash and keep and eye out for bikes.

“Sounds like Bonnie had an amazing time with Cady today and love the photos of the walk. Highly recommend 👌🏼”

About: I have a 3 year old cocker spaniel who loves to play! She is amazing with other dogs of all ages. I owned a dogs growing up and often look after friend's dogs. I've looked after big dogs like Rottweilers and German shepards as well as smaller dogs and as long as they are friendly, all are welcome. I do have a toddler at home on Tuesdays, Fridays and weekends so child friendly dogs only. I work from home most days but generally in the office on a Monday and sometimes on Thursdays. I can walk dogs during the day when working from home and some evenings if necessary. I have a fenced garden and your dog would be able to come in and out with no problem. I'm not far from country park so big walks are possible as well as shorter routes. I work from home 3 days a week and I'm off on Tuesdays and Fridays so your dog will have lots of company. I can offer pre-work, lunchtime and post work walks on those days and adventures on days when I'm not working. I have an enclosed garden and a stair gate if your dog if your dog is better in a restricted area. I have another dog for lots of play and company.

About: I’ve absolutely loved dogs since I was a child. Growing up I owned a gorgeous Bichon Frise and in my early twenties I looked after my friend’s golden Labrador. He would stay with me during the week whilst I worked from home for multiple months. I now look after a lively cocker spaniel! I’ve had experience with dogs of different temperaments. I will absolutely love spending time with your dogs and I don’t charge extra for all the extra cuddles!! I’m currently having a career break so I am available most days except for Fridays. I am really flexible and can accommodate your specific needs. I am a very reliable and diligent person and will make every effort to ensure your dog feels safe with me. Being around dogs often I am able to read their body language and notice signs when they are uncomfortable and need space. I will also of course respect your home during any visits/ house sits.

About: I grew up on a farm looking after a mixture of working dogs and house dogs, from Collies, to King Charles Spaniels and Bernese Mountain dogs to looking after my friend’s dogs in London in recent years. I work full time (mon-fri), but usually only in the office once a week. My work life is very balanced, with protected lunch time and finishing on time so I’d have plenty of time for doggy toilet breaks and walks. I don’t have a garden as we’re in a flat but we’re right next to a nature reservoir with plenty of green space and parks nearby. I thoroughly enjoy spending time with dogs and caring for them.

About: A black Labrador (Sonny) owner who we’ve had since he was a puppy (he’s now four!) Regularly look after pooches of all shapes, sizes and ages, loving their company. I currently work from home 4 (flexible) days during the week and am free most weekends, living in a great location near parks and woods for fun walks We have a big fenced garden currently enjoyed by our friendly black lab Sonny who has said he would love some additional company from time to time!

“2 very happy Labradors ! Thanks for giving them a great walk Katie”

About: I have lived in a household with dogs my whole life and have been responsible for walking, feeding, bathing, and showing them a lot of love. I adore playing with dogs, being responsible for a furry friend is a very fulfilling task. I work as a singer/songwriter. I gig a few nights a month and work a lot from home therefore I have plenty of time to walk and supervise your fur baby. I understand how daunting it can be to leave you pet with another person, so anything to make sure your pet is comfortable, safe, nurtured, entertained and loved at all times.
