About: I’m a warm, patient and attentive pet sitter with a strong background in caring for cats and growing experience with dogs. I’m confident with feeding routines, litter care, medication support (if needed), and understanding the subtle ways cats communicate comfort or stress. Alongside my cat care, I’ve also looked after dogs of different sizes and personalities. I enjoy taking dogs out for walks, keeping them active, and making sure they feel safe, relaxed and well‑cared for. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or sticking to their usual routine, I’m committed to giving every dog the same attention and affection they get at home. Pet owners describe me as reliable, gentle and easy to communicate with. I always keep you updated with photos and messages so you feel reassured while you’re away. Your pet’s wellbeing, comfort and happiness are always my top priority whether they’re a confident dog, a shy cat, or anything in between. I work flexibly, which means I can plan my days around drop‑ins, walks, feeding times and playtime. I’m usually available in the mornings, afternoons and early evenings, and I make sure to leave enough time so each pet gets calm, unhurried attention. Because I spend a lot of time working locally, I’m able to check in on pets regularly, keep them company, and maintain their usual routine. Whether it’s a morning visit for cats, an afternoon walk for dogs, or evening cuddles, I’m consistent, reliable and always make sure your pet feels safe and cared for. When caring for pets in an owner’s home, I focus on creating a calm, safe and familiar environment where they can relax and feel secure. I always follow each pet’s usual routine closely from feeding times to walks, playtime and any specific instructions you share. Keeping things consistent helps pets feel comfortable while you’re away. I’m respectful of your home and treat it with the same care I give to your pets. I keep things tidy, follow your house rules, and send regular updates so you feel reassured and connected. My goal is always to make your pet feel loved, safe and understood and to give you complete peace of mind while you’re away.
“Really good experience with Alex. He met Elio a few days before he'd be staying, which was great and made Elio comfortable to be left. Will definitely be using Alex again.”
“Nese was fantastic with my dog and took our booking at last minute! Ramsey came home tired from walking, playing, and swimming all weekend and I was kept updated with lots of photos and videos! Would definitely recommend Nese, it was a proper home from home ?”
“I recently had the pleasure of leaving my dog, Rocky, in the care of Padure and her family while I was on holiday, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! From the moment I arrived, it was clear that Rocky was going to be treated like one of their own. Padure's warm and welcoming demeanor put me at ease, and I knew I had made the right choice. During his stay, Padure kept me updated with adorable pictures and messages, which reassured me that he was having a fantastic time. It was evident that Rocky felt comfortable and happy in their home, and that means the world to me as a pet owner. I am incredibly grateful for the care and dedication Padure and her family provided. I will definitely be reaching out to them for future boarding needs. Highly recommended!”
“Michelle instantly put me at ease that she would take good care of our beloved Monty. I wasn't wrong, she was communicative, sent lots of photos and looked after him really well. We will be rebooking.”
“Reuben had my Cockapoo Pip yesterday for the whole day & he came back extremely relaxed & happy so I knew he'd had an excellent day and been treated very well. He can be a very anxious dog who is timid with new people but despite this he settled in very well making himself at home on their sofa apparently! I was sent a lovely photo during the day of Pip and could see how relaxed and calm he I'm Reuben's company. I wouldn't hesitate to leave my dog with Reuben and his partner again & I hope they would be happy to have Pip also.”
“Everything went really well. Boris was looked after and cared for as if he was at home. Jack has also kindly administered eye drops which was last minute request. Much appreciated and we will definitely be coming back. Thank you so much.”
“My dog stayed at Lorena’s for 5 nights and was well looked after. I got regular updates from Lorena when I was on holiday which gave me peace of mind. My dog appears to have enjoyed all the amenities that Lorena’s gardens offers including the balls pool. He came back tired and much calmer. Also as he had to interact with other dogs, he is better behaved. I will definitely use Lorena again!”
“Finch loved his stay with Nicholas and Yenny. He and Chokko became the best of friends during his stay. This was our first time leaving Finch with anyone outside of family and friends and they kept our minds at ease with daily updates throughout our trip.”
About: I’ve been looking after dogs on and off for about 3 years now. Mostly smaller breeds, but I’ve also had some experience with puppies — including toilet training and helping them get used to routines. I really enjoy spending time with dogs, playing with them, taking them out for walks, and just keeping them happy and calm while their owners are away. What sets me apart: I actually pay attention to the dog’s mood and personality. Some need more playtime, some just want a quiet walk — I adapt to that. I don’t rush things and I make sure the dog feels safe and looked after. I treat every dog like it’s my own — with care, consistency, and a bit of fun. I work from the office two days a week and from home the rest, so fitting in walks or visits isn’t a problem. I’m flexible with timing and can usually adjust my day to make sure the dog gets proper attention. I’ve got a safe back garden for quick outdoor breaks. Dogs can move freely around the house — most of them skip their bed and go straight for the sofa anyway.
“Agostina was exceptional! My daughter and I were a little anxious leaving our kitten, Chloe, for the first time for several days. However, Agostina was absolutely wonderful, she cared for Chloe as if she were her own. She kept us updated with plenty of photos, videos, and even a video call, which really put our minds at ease. It was clear that Chloe was happy, comfortable, and well looked after in Agostina’s care. On top of that, her prices are very reasonable — truly great value for the quality of care she provides. I would definitely use Agostina again in the future, and for anyone who’s feeling hesitant, don’t be! Your furry friend will be in excellent hands. 🐾”
“Anjaly and her husband took amazing care of our dog Bentley whilst we was on holiday for 10 days. I got daily updates and photos/videos. I felt very relaxed knowing he was with them and he was happy. Highly recommend them :) lovely couple.”

This is the second time Andrea has looked after my fur babies but the first time they have stayed over. Both dogs were happy to arrive at Andrea’s house and immediately went for a sniff to see who else had been around. Andrea is great at making the transition seamless and there was no issue or anxiety about me leaving. Whilst away we got regular updates and they were throughly spoilt over Christmas 🥰. When I returned to collect them they were happy and content, not even realising I was at the door at first. Andrea ensured the dogs had a great Christmas and I was assured they were well looked after. Will be looking to book next time we are away.
I can highly recommend Urte 💯. When I left my dog in her care, she communicated regularly, sending pictures and messages to let me know how my dog was settling in. I could tell right away that she is a true dog lover. She is very reliable, flexible, and understanding. I would be very happy to use her services again in the future. It was clear that my little one was well cared for.
We had an amazing experience with Olivia! Hibiki has spent Christmas holidays with her and he has been very looked after! Lots of exercise, long walks and cuddles. She updated me with pictures and videos of him throughout the stay, giving me peace of mind that he was having a great time! I definitely recommend Olivia and I will definitely book her again in the future.
Padure took excellent care of my dogs while staying in my home. I received regular updates and photos, which was very reassuring. Most importantly, the dogs were calm and relaxed when I returned, not anxious or unsettled. My home was also left in perfect order. Thank you, Padure
Ernani and Walax were amazing. They accepted my last-minute request to board my 7-month-old Dalmatian and were so kind and accommodating to all of Mac’s needs. They were very communicative and sent lots of photos and videos, which really put my mind at ease as it was my first time leaving him. When I picked Mac up, his tail was wagging nonstop and he kept running back to Walax for cuddles — a clear sign he had a great time. I’ll definitely be using them again. Highly recommend!
Lucy and Alex delivered above and beyond. The best care! I was a bit nervous about an overnight stay for my 1 year old, but they both reassured me and handled any issues that arose wonderfully and professionally. Plus just lovely people, what can I say. Would absolutely recommend and will be in touch again 😜 xx
Sophia is an outstanding dog minder. She goes the distance, pays attention to the details, and really cared for our 9 month old puppy. We didn't hesitate to use Sophia again. She was so accommodating and was flexible to our needs. We had a happy puppy when we picked her up, and Sophia even taught her a new trick! We received frequent updates of photos and videos of their time together, which was really lovely. We can't recommend Sophia enough!
Great experience with Alex, we could tell her and her pup, Ralphie made Remo’s stay there so fun! We got regular updates and videos of Remo and seemed to be having so much fun. Alex was so understanding even when our pup was struggling to sleep in his crate over night, she went above and beyond to keep him comfortable! Overall super happy 😊 xx
Natalie was amazing with our dog Kyro and he loved staying with her from the pics that were sent across! Natalie was also so accommodating with our last minute booking and I would 100% recommend her - she was quick to respond, kept us informed and sent over pics. Thanks again Natalie, will definitely be coming back!
