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 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: 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 currently work away in the week and have work from home days, 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, if they feel more comfortable sleeping in bed with me they definitely can too. They’ll get lots of cwtches and strokes.

About: I have nearly four years of hands-on experience working with dogs in a professional doggy daycare environment, alongside regular pet sitting for a variety of breeds and temperaments. During this time, I completed a Level 2 qualification in Animal Care and Welfare with distinction, giving me a strong understanding of dog behaviour, safety, and wellbeing. I’ve grown up around dogs, so caring for them has always been a natural part of my life. I’m confident handling dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels, and I always aim to provide a safe, fun, and reliable experience for both pets and their owners. Pet care is a natural and consistent part of my daily routine. Having worked in a doggy daycare for nearly four years, I’m used to structuring my day around dogs’ needs, including regular walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and monitoring behaviour and wellbeing. I’m organised and flexible, which allows me to plan my day around each dog’s routine, ensuring they get the attention, exercise, and care they need at the right times. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday visits, or evening care, I’m used to adapting to different schedules. When caring for pets, I always tailor my approach to suit each dog’s individual routine, personality, and needs to help them feel comfortable and secure. In a pet owner’s home, I stick closely to their usual schedule, including feeding times, walks, play, and any specific instructions. This helps keep things familiar and reduces stress for the pet. I make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and mental stimulation, as well as keeping their environment clean and safe. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos for peace of mind. With my experience working in a doggy daycare, I’m confident managing different temperaments, energy levels, and group dynamics, and I always prioritise safety, wellbeing, and positive experiences.

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, gentle 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 60 to 90 minute 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. Your dog will stay in a calm, clean, non smoking family home with a fully secure fenced garden for safe outdoor play. I have two friendly, well socialised dogs, Bella and Barney, who love the company of other dogs. Any visiting dog must be comfortable around other dogs. 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've taken care of dogs since I was 10 years old, I've walked fed and bathed my dog frequently and have also taken care of family's dogs in their homes. Pet care fits into my schedule around my day job. I work in a shop at the moment so my hours are not always the same. However I will try my best to work around whatever works best for you. If I care for pets I would prefer to do it in the owners home as they may not get on with my own pets

About: Hi, I’m passionate about providing loving, reliable care for every dog I look after. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I’ve grown up working with dogs and horses professionally from a young age. I have experience in dog grooming, completed work experience in a veterinary practice, and have spent years around animals of all temperaments, sizes, and breeds. I’ve also been involved in dog agility, which has given me a great understanding of dog behaviour, training, and exercise needs. I understand how important it is to know your dog is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply calm companionship, I’ll always make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and treated like one of my own. I pride myself on being trustworthy, caring, and attentive, and I aim to provide a safe and positive experience for every pet in my care. I’m currently working from home, so I can easily be flexible with your dogs current schedule and their needs, offering interaction with your dog all day and making sure they feel safe and comfortable at my home, whether your dog needs a relaxing visit or more playful experience I can offer it all. I have a fully fenced back garden, and fantastic walking routes surrounding my house including Sugwas pools and beautiful orchards, I’m an avid runner and I’m happy to take them running with me if it suits the needs of your dog.

About: Looking for someone reliable, caring, and passionate to look after your pets? You’ve come to the right place. I understand that your pets are part of the family.

I have experience walking dogs for my friends and family, and I will go the extra mile to make sure your furry family member is cared for. If you have a rescue dog, I will make sure to adjust my care to their personal needs. I fully understand that rescue pets come with their own little quirks and I will do my best to make sure they are comfortable while they are with me. I have had family and friends dogs over night while their owners are on holiday. I've had experience walking and caring for various different breeds of dogs. Please get on touch if you have any questions, or if you'd like to arrange a meet and greet. I am a mum of two, who works pet care around school and childcare. I am available Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday between 10am & 3pm. However, please let me know if you require services on Monday and Fridays because I may be able to squeeze a couple of bookings in on those days if needed. During our meet and greet, we will discuss the needs of your pet. If you require your pet to be walked, and they have a favourite toy they like to take along with them (eg. A ball or squeaky toy) I will make sure we do this and have play time during the walk, equally if you prefer for your dog to be on a lead at all times I will make sure this happens. I want you to feel comfortable leaving your pet with me and for your pet to be happy during their walks so please let me know any specific needs. If you require a drop in service, we will agree how long the drop in is for and what requirements your pet will need. For example, water, food, medication, play time, garden time. Each pet gets their own personalised care plan.

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!

About: I have previously had cats and dogs myself. I have looked after dogs and walked them for a long time before I had my children and now we do it as a family. I am available around my childcare (feel free to contact me to discuss further). If walking/drop ins I may have my youngest child with me so a pet that is good around children is ideal although I can be flexible on this. I am available everyday of the week for a dog to stay in my house, however I cannot have cats to stay unfortunately. We also have children so it is essential they are good with kids and are crate trained. I am a trustworthy & reliable person. I have experience letting myself into other peoples home and caring for pets. I am open to visiting with owner before hand to get to know the pet and put owner at ease. Any pets staying will need to be fully crate trained with their own crate provided (open to discussion depending on specifics for the dog) and be good with children as I have 3 children under 5 in the property too.
