About: I’ve grown up with pets my whole life. As a child I had a collie growing up and then while bringing my young children up we had hamsters, cats and fish. Recently the family cat passed away so it’s strange having no furry companion in the home when I’ve had it my whole life. Both of my grown up children have dogs who I love walking and looking after and playing with. I retired early at the age of 55, so now I spend my time in the gym, spending time with my 1yr and a half grand daughter or with my sons labradoodle and cat who I look after when they go away or I frequently go and walk the dog when they are busy. I’ve also looked after my daughters mixed breed (staffie/frenchdog) in Belfast. So my day can revolve around your pet whether they love attention or rather be more independent I have a fenced garden and can drive to more scenic big walks or live local to fields and small walks. The dog is welcome throughout the home to feel relaxed

About: I’ve been looking after my own animals and friends and families ever since i was a child, i’m excited to meet your fluffy cuties too. I am currently on maternity leave till August 2027, so i spend lots of time at home where i have the capacity to look after some fur babies. I have a fenced garden and a dog flap. Your doggys will always have access to the secure garden and downstairs living areas. They’ll get lots of cwtches and strokes.

“Speedy replies and I came back to a very relaxed and happy puppy!”

About: I currently have availability throughout the week and I have a car and am able to collect or drop off pets securely. I can adjust to your requirements the same day if necessary. I have plenty of time to be flexible for your requirements and available for boarding weekdays and on weekends. There are also options for collecting and dropping off pets as I have a vehicle. I have a secure house with only front access for security which is kept locked at all times, I am located within a mews there are no other vehicles near the property. Around my local area I am near to the malvern hills so plenty of dog walking options in the countryside.

About: I've been a sitter for my sisters dog, willow for the past 3 years whilst she goes on her travels. My children enjoy having a dog in the house & I enjoy watching them play in our garden. I have pets in the past, a rescue stafi Tia, two cats mitzi and Pandora. They were loved beyond measure. I'm a stay at home mother with two small children. We go for walks daily, come rain or shine. We have a very relaxed home environment, my children love to play in the garden mostly and are besotted with animals, including creatures they find in the garden. My eldest daughter is nearly 3 and absolutely loves playing fetch with her aunties dog Willow who often stays with us when she's on holiday. We enjoy walking in the near by feilds and exploring a new home town. We have recently moved in to our new home and can offer a large enclosed garden, plenty of room for running up and down. Our house is small but spacious enough for our furry friends to stay over.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for over 10 years, regularly looking after pets for neighbours, friends and family while they’re away. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, so I always make sure they feel safe, loved and comfortable. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime or simply keeping them company, I’ll care for your pets as if they were my own. I’m reliable, patient and genuinely love spending time with animals. I work from home, which means I can give your pet plenty of attention, company and care throughout the day. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles or sticking to their usual routine, I’ll make sure they feel happy and settled. I’m available on weekdays and weekends, and I’ll always keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax while you’re away. I understand that every pet is different, so I’ll take the time to get to know their personality, routine and any special requirements. Your pet’s safety, comfort and happiness are always my top priority. Working from home means I’m around to supervise, provide companionship and ensure they never feel lonely. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, treat your home with respect, and send regular updates and photos so you always know your furry family member is happy and in safe hands.

About: I am incredibly reliable, trustworthy, and flexible. I've had pets my entire life and for the past 10 or so years, I’ve cared for others in addition to my own. I have experience caring for dogs and cats, and of all different sizes and breeds. Growing up, I had a Staffordshire Bull Terrier and I have now got a mixed breed dog, Rottweiler x Border Collie x Rhodesian Ridgeback who always has lots of energy and 3 cats. From pet sitting, long or short walks, and of course taking care of my own pets, I’ve got experience with it all! I’ve also administered medication to dogs and cats of all ages and sizes. I trained Leia from 6 weeks old, so teaching puppies new tricks and helping train them is always a fun time! I will love on your pet with everything I have. I can look after your pets around my work times. In the week I work Monday - Friday so can look after your pets before and after work, and on weekends. Depending on where abouts you are I can also drop in at lunchtime. I work from home so I am able to happily do drop in visits, dog walking and long stays and give your four legged friends all the attention and love they deserve! I am unable to do home stays due to my cats, but rest assured, your pets will be well looked after within your home. I love dogs and cats that are not mine as if they were my own! I have many years of caring for dogs, cats and other animals. I am good at taking care of multiple pets and different types of pets. I have taken care of dogs and cats who need meds, older dogs/cats, puppies/kittens, etc. I will be engaging and loving with your pet. I am more than happy to meet your expectations and the needs of your furry friend and I will work with you on what you should need with flexibility and understanding. I can’t wait to sit/walk your treasured baby. If you decide to choose me, I will go above and beyond, as that is my style in life and with animals and people.

“Leanna and Lauren did an amazing job of looking after my 2 cats. They took the time to get to know the cats and their personalities and fussed & played with them as well as feeding them and administering medication (tablets and eye ointment) to one of the cats. They sent detailed updates and lovely photos. Unfortunately one of my cats became ill and they quickly identified the problem and let me know straight away. Using a cat sitter when my cat was unwell and needing medication was difficult but Leanna and Lauren showed a lot of care and compassion and were very reassuring. I wouldn’t hesitate to book them again.”

About: I’ve owned dogs all my life and currently have my own Golden Retriever, Cleo, so I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your dog. I have experience looking after dogs of all breeds, ages and personalities, including puppies and senior dogs. I’m also comfortable giving medication when needed and following any specific instructions or routines your dog has. I like to make sure dogs get plenty of exercise, so long walks are guaranteed rather than just quick toilet breaks. I also have a large, fully fenced garden with access throughout the day, giving dogs plenty of space to run around, play or simply relax outside. I’m fairly flexible with dates and times and will always try to work around you and your dog’s routine. I’m also more than happy to arrange a meet and greet beforehand so you can meet me, Cleo and see where your dog will be staying. I think it’s important that everyone is comfortable and that the dogs are a good match. Most importantly, I treat every dog as an individual and want them to feel safe, settled and well looked after while they’re with me. Caring for pets fits naturally into my daily routine as I already spend time each day looking after animals and making sure they get the attention and care they need. I’m able to plan my day around drop-in visits, which means I can make sure your cat is fed, comfortable, and given some company while you’re away. I’m happy to keep to your cat’s usual routine so everything feels as normal as possible for them. I also enjoy spending time with animals, so visits are never rushed and your cat will always receive patient and attentive care. When caring for cats in their own home, I focus on keeping their routine as familiar and comfortable as possible. This includes feeding on schedule, providing fresh water, cleaning the litter box, and giving plenty of attention and gentle play. I pay close attention to each cat’s personality – whether they enjoy cuddles, toys, or quiet company – and adjust my approach to make them feel safe and relaxed. I’m also happy to send updates and photos so you can see that your cat is happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I maintain a flexible schedule to accommodate your pets routine

“Becky is lovely. Teddy clicked with her immediately and treated her like a long lost friend. This was Becky's first visit to our house and I felt very comfortable with her. She clearly understands dogs very well and behaves in an affectionate and kind way towards them. I will definitely be in touch with Becky again.”

About: I have grown up with dogs all of my life and have one myself. I’ve always enjoyed playing with them and getting to know them. I currently work shifts as a Health Care Assistant at Royal Preston Hospital but I am free on my days off. I can be flexible. I look after my Standard Poodle Florence who I take for a walk twice a day and play with her in the garden on my days off.

“Shannon is a very kind and conscientious sitter, always double checking whether everything she does is up to your specific requirements and went above and beyond keeping our kitty happy while we were away, provided loads of photos and videos and put us at ease. Even gifted a toy, which our cat really enjoys despite not being much of a toy lover. Highly recommended, especially if you have a timid cat, Shannon is very gentle and patient.”

About: I live in Kingsland with my partner Sean, our baby Mabel and our dog Wesley. If your dog(s) get along with Wes (full male dog) and baby Mabel (3 months old so not at the grabby or crawling stage!) then we would be more than happy to have them stay in our home with us. We have hosted dogs before and it’s been a very chilled experience, even though these dogs have history of difficulties. We live in a house with a big and very enclosed garden and lovely walks around. Wes gets on great with most dogs when allowed to play in garden together to meet properly. He loves to play and has even shown healing abilities with certain rescues teaching how to play and also how to relax! We are both deeply caring, sensitive and tuned in to animals, here to provide the best possible care. We adapt to the animals needs and flow with how feels best. We love exploring nature with dogs and also taking time to nurture. I have plenty experience with dogs horses, cats, bunnies, chickens, goats, hedgehogs, monkeys, elephants, sheep, cows, hamsters, birds, all sorts.... I have spent a lot of time with quirky dogs and rescues. I have volunteered on a rare breeds farm, travelled and spent time with many animals so nothing is out of my comfort zone. I have worked for butternut box dog food, so am clued up on nutrition and health. This ties into my love of herbalism and natural therapies. I usually cook homemade food for the pups including fresh veg and herbs and locally sourced meat. I have volunteered in Greece, caring for over 70 cats and a few dogs, medicating, feeding, cleaning, taking in injured etc. I volunteered for a rescue centre walking dogs, increasing awareness of sensitive dogs. I have worked as a support worker on a care farm, which focused on animal rehabilitation, namely horses, whilst providing alternative education for a diverse range of people and children. Holding space for exploration of self and gentleness and care with and for the animals as reflectors was a wonderful way to help children grow, thrive and find peace in a space outside of school. I have also worked in primary schools as a teaching assistant so emotional support, regulation and providing nourishment for growth is well practiced. I spent good time with a deaf and blind dog (Judy) which has opened new ways of communicating beyond those senses. I believe that we are here to help eradicate the fear from animals. I love animals with quirks as it opens pathways into healing for them and those around them. I have experience training, basic first aid and have looked after new born puppies and kittens. I was there for Daisy when she gave birth to the kittens. I have cared for a paraplegic dog for a week including physio and i have cared for a dog with epilepsy. Caring comes down to a lot more than physical needs being met! It would be a good idea to introduce everyone so please do get in touch and come round for tea! I love expressing seen beauty through art and photography so cute pics guaranteed! Open to commission also. I am super passionate about animals and care, and also deeply respect them. If you need any extra support with your home as well I am more than happy to drop by and keep an eye on things whilst you’re away and can also provide cleaning services. Look forward to hearing from you. My schedule is pretty adhoc so let me know what you need. During the week can be tricky last minute unless I can take Wes with me as my partner works 9-5.30. Weekends are usually fine and if you give us more notice Sean can take time off work so I can look after your dogs :) I will care for your pets, how you would like me to. I won't change their routine unless asked and I won't try and do anything differently! I will give all my attention to them and make sure they are super happy and comfortable. I can cater to various types of animals as they are all unique.
