“We have used Emma twice now and both times I was impressed. Emma sent some amazing photos of Bayek out on his walk, he looked happy and when he came home he slept for the remainder of the evening!”

About: I’m a very experienced and confident dog carer, particularly with small to medium-sized dogs. I have a real soft spot for little dogs and understand that they often need a bit of extra care when it comes to feeling safe, secure and comfortable in a new environment. Safety is extremely important to me. I make sure my garden is secure and I’m always very careful around doors, gates and when out on walks, especially with smaller dogs who can be quick or nervous in unfamiliar surroundings. I also understand how important it is to help dogs feel settled and relaxed when they’re away from their owners. I’m patient with anxious or nervous dogs and will give them the time, reassurance and space they need to feel comfortable. I have plenty of experience with enrichment and behavioural activities from owning my own dogs in the past. I have Kongs, lick mats and other enrichment toys available, and I’m used to using food-based activities, games and mental stimulation to help dogs stay occupied, relaxed and happy. I’m happy to follow each dog’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, sleeping arrangements and any particular habits or activities they enjoy. My aim is to make sure every dog staying with me feels safe, calm, entertained and properly cared for, while giving their owner peace of mind that they’re in good hands. I work from home on Thursdays and Fridays, so I’m available to care for dogs throughout the day while I work. My job is flexible and not very demanding, so I can give them plenty of attention, take them for walks and let them outside regularly, usually every one to two hours. I’m also available for weekend boarding with a little more notice. I have my stepdaughter every other weekend, so if your dog is not comfortable around children, or you would prefer them not to be around children, please let me know when booking. For dogs I’ve looked after several times and have come to know and trust well, weekend care while she is here may be possible depending on the individual dog. My step daughter is used to dogs and is very gentle with them, but please rest assured I would never leave your dog alone with a child. I’m generally unavailable on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays, although I may be able to make arrangements in special circumstances if discussed in advance. I take safety very seriously and make sure dogs are secure, comfortable and well supervised in my home. My garden is fully enclosed with a solid brick wall rather than just fencing, and I’m very careful around doors and gates, particularly with smaller dogs who can be quick or nervous. We don’t have any pets of our own, so your dog would get my full attention while they’re staying with me. I’m home throughout the day when caring for dogs, so they won’t be left alone for long periods and can be let outside regularly. I also understand that being somewhere new can be stressful, so I give dogs plenty of time to settle and follow their usual routine as closely as possible. I have Kongs, lick mats and other enrichment toys available to help keep them relaxed, occupied and mentally stimulated.

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: Hi everybody! I’ve had my Cavapoo Rolo for 4 years now and the time has completely flown by! Over the years i’ve walked him 3x everyday and have taught him so many skills and we will be entering our first competition in 2026! Over the past year i have also took on caring for my grandmothers golden Labrador as she’s unable to provide walks etc, however still loves him and his company to pieces so i am honoured to be able to keep them together! I’m currently working part time from Fridays through till Sundays so have plenty of quality time and care for your pets. i’m quite an active person in my personal life, so depending on your pets needs, if they need a 2 hour walk or as little as 30 minutes neither will be a challenge. I have a fenced garden and have cctv surrounding the back garden to view. i also have a box for all post etc to not scare or aggravate pets.

About: I have over 20 years of experience owning and caring for dogs of all sizes and breeds, from small companion dogs to large, energetic breeds. I currently have two friendly dogs of my own — Bella, a 5 year old Labradoodle, and Barney, a 3 year old Labrador. Both are well socialised, playful and love the company of other dogs. Over the years I’ve gained experience with: • Puppies and reinforcing basic training • High energy breeds that need mental and physical stimulation • Larger, strong dogs • Nervous or shy dogs that need reassurance • Following strict feeding schedules and routines • Administering oral medication if required I understand how important it is to leave your dog somewhere safe and loving. I treat every dog in my care as if they were my own. I work from home full time, five days a week, which means your dog will have constant company and supervision throughout the day. They will not be left alone for long periods. Our daily routine includes garden playtime, enrichment and a walk each day, either on or off lead depending on recall ability and your preference. I am flexible with drop off and collection times where possible. Dogs are fed separately to avoid stress, and I can crate your dog if needed. I closely follow owner instructions regarding feeding, routines and medication to ensure your dog feels safe, settled and at home.

About: I have looked after many different types of dog for the past 6 years For friends, family members and people who I’ve been recommended too I am currently working from home so have plenty of time to walk and care for your pets, am happy to keep to routines etc that you have in place. I have a house with a fenced garden and plenty of space, your pets are free to go anywhere in my home and garden when they want

About: I’ve always grown up with pets from a very young age. Mainly cats but we did have a dog called Polo who I loved and cherished so much, I would take him on daily walks along the canal and meadows. I would also help out with feeding our pets. I’ve also used to look after my Nans cats while she was away, at this time we were slowly transitioning them into indoor cats so I would help out by locking them in during the night and letting them out during the mornings. This included cleaning and feeding duties. I’m currently a Uni student at Hereford College of Arts, studying Textiles (2nd year). I’ve got plenty of free time during the afternoon and would like an opportunity that involves looking after animals aka cats and dogs. I also have a qualification in animal care and would like to gain some more experience in this sector by looking after people’s pets if possible! The pets I had when living back at home, were very loved and looked after! I would take Polo on walks every day and loopy had free access to roam outside when he wanted too.

About: Hello! I'm Amy! I work from home full time, which means your dog will never be left alone. They will have constant supervision, attention, and care throughout the day. We live in a calm, pet-friendly home (with a garden), access to lovely local walking spots and a secure space for play and rest. I have previously looked after dogs for friends and family, and have always found it rewarding and enjoyable. I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pet, and I will care for your dog as if they were my own. I am open to pet sitting and walking. I am more than happy for you to visit our home before agreeing to allow us to look after your pet. Feel free to get in touch. I look forward from you! I run my own business, which gives me a flexible, home-based routine rather than a fixed nine-to-five. That means I can build pet care naturally into my day, whether that is a morning walk before the working day starts, a midday check-in, or simply having a dog around the house with me while I work. I have looked after pets for family and friends over the years, so I am used to fitting feeding times, walks, and general care around a normal day without it feeling rushed. Because my schedule is mine to manage, I can offer consistency and genuine attention rather than squeezing visits in between other commitments. For walks and drop-ins, I follow the owner's usual feeding and toileting schedule, check the home is secure, and send updates so owners can relax. For house sitting, I keep to the pet's existing routine as closely as possible to minimise disruption. And in my own home, my flexible, home-based schedule means walks, feeding, and playtime fit naturally around the day rather than being squeezed in.

About: I’m a passionate animal lover and genuinely believe that dogs deserve to feel safe, loved and completely at home while you’re away. I work from home, which means your dog will have someone around 24/7 and won’t be left alone. We have our own lovely dog, Mabel, who is friendly, gentle and very welcoming to new four-legged friends. She loves having company and is always happy to make a new friend 🐶❤️ if you live local you Bartestree then it’s likely you have already met her!

Our home is relaxed and dog-friendly, and I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, medication and any little quirks they may have. Your dog won’t just be staying with us — they’ll be part of the family while they’re here. 🐾❤️ Having had dogs for the last 20 years pet care is built into my every day life. Early morning walks in the Orchards, a lunchtime stroll around the fields and an evening sunset walk to the cricket pitch. I will offer your pets a safe space and lots of attention. We have a fully enclosed and secure garden so they can have as much outdoor time as they like. I will treat your dog as if they are one of my family. I promise to keep them safe and make sure they have a thoroughly great home from home experience.

About: I am a mother of 2 grown up children who always wanted and had a dog and cats.

I usually walk my dogs very early in the morning and can be available for the rest of the day I have a secure garden and pets will have the entire run of the downstairs. They will be included in our cosy front room evenings watching the TV until it's time for bed.

About: I’ve grown up around animals and currently have two very spoiled dachshunds of my own, so I understand how important routine, patience and affection are for pets. I also have experience caring for my mum’s elderly dog, so I’m comfortable adapting to slower walks, extra care and giving older dogs the attention they need. Alongside caring for my own dogs, I’ve looked after neighbours’ dogs and currently do dog walking and pet sitting for someone I met through work. I genuinely love spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, happy and loved while their owners are away 🐾💛 I'm available for drop ins and walks Monday to Friday from 6:00am to 4:00pm, as well as weekends. I'm flexible and happy to work around your schedule wherever possible. Your pet will receive lots of care, attention, exercise, and love while they're with me. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable and cared for in their own home and stick to their normal routine as much as possible. I’m happy to follow feeding schedules, walking routines and any special instructions needed. I also have experience crating dogs if required and caring for older dogs who may need extra patience and attention 🐾💛

About: i have always had pets, from dogs to rabbits, guinea pigs and hamsters. From such a young age i always just wanted to work with animals and i love to spend all my spare time with animals to. We always had so many different dogs in our home growing up, for friends that we would look after from weeks/ months as it was army friends. My work goal is to have my own doggy day care. i pretty much live out door on weekends walking 4 dogs, 2 of mine and 2 of my dads ( which i dog sit for when he is away) i am currently working full time, mon-fri 8-5pm, so that is why i am only starting out on weekend but i do plan to leave my job soon and i want to do this full time. i literally live and breathe for my dogs, they are my whole world! animals are my favorite and its all i have ever wanted to do! But weekends i am always out in nature, taking the dogs on big walks and hikes. also week evenings i am out with the dogs straight from work. I live in the sticks, surrounded by nature and hills! a quiet country place, our dogs are so safe that we can leave the front door open and they have the freedom to roam with lots of space . i feed my dogs nothing but goodness, healthy fresh meals and treats! they get plenty of exercise (as i pretty much live outdoors) but they also have a really comfy cozy life and just get so much love and fuss!
