“Ricardo was fantastic! This was my first time leaving them for a holiday and I would 100% do it again with Ricardo. The daily diary and pictures were very reassuring and I came home to two very happy cats.”


“I am always really happy with Emma's service, my cat is getting to know her and he is definitely more relaxed after her visit . Anyone wanting a reliable,punctual cat sitter can rely on Emma always. Would happily recommend. 🐈⬛”


“Megan was great with Kobe. He can be nervous meeting new people and she knew exactly how to be with him to make him feel at ease. She sent lots of photo updates and photos and Kobe looked like he was having a great time!”


“Pui is wonderful. Our cat Eleven can be wary of strangers, yet she seemed at ease with Pui and came out to play and receive a snack rather than hiding away. Pui looked after her excellently during her drop-in and sent lots of photos and a video. My partner and I felt so reassured and relieved to see Eleven happy while we're away. Huge thanks, Pui.”


“Margaret was incredible with Envy, she took her on long walks, drop-ins full of cuddles. My dog warmed up to her very quickly. She provided images and updates on what they got up to throughout the visits. I highly recommend her and will be reaching out to her when I need. Thanks again Margaret!”


About: I own 3 dogs one being a senior. Dogs have always been my favourite four legged animal when it came to pets, before I owned dogs myself, I would always go on the internet and look up different dog breeds and their individual needs and it has stuck with me til this day. I have basic training such as sit, stay,? wait leave it, come, basic lead skills, pulling dogs are not a problem for me one bit! Pet care fits perfectly into my lifestyle as I have pets of my own, I have 3 dogs and a snake. So it has become second nature to me, I’ve had hamsters as a child and they all lived to 3-4years so you could say I’m made for the pet care industry, a natural! I care for my clients dogs with devotion and fulfil the dogs needs in every way possible as not all dogs are the same. Choose my dog walking service and you’ll need to search no more!

“Drew was great with my dogs. Very chilled vibes, not phased by my old barky dog and great communication throughout too. Can see why he's very popular! My female dog liked him very much too :)”


About: Hi, I’m Amy! I’m 35 and have been a dog lover all my life. I’ve already been looking after some lovely pups locally through friends and I’d love to meet a few more furry friends! Every dog is different, and I always try to match their routine and personality, whether that’s sniffy walks, playful games, quiet companionship, or just a bit of fuss when they want it. Your dog will get my full attention, as I love caring for pups, keeping to the routines that matter most, and helping them feel happy and settled. I grew up with a family dog, but I don’t currently have one of my own. One day I’d love to, but for now I’m enjoying spending the time I have giving care and affection to the dogs I look after. My home setup: • Secure private garden for safe playtime and extra fresh air on top of walks • Calm, child-free, non-smoking environment • My own car for easy transport (e.g. vet visits if ever needed) • A relaxed, homely setting where your pup will be treated like family Walks: I’m happy to take your dog to their favourite local spots, or explore nearby parks and green spaces. I stick to whatever they’re most comfortable with. Whether your dog enjoys a long energetic walk or a gentle stroll, I adapt to their needs. Why choose me? • Safe, reliable care with regular photo/text updates • I will treat your dog as if they were my own • Flexible schedule and fast communication • Experience across many breeds and personalities What I offer: • Regular or one-off dog walks • Drop-in visits for feeding, toilet breaks, and playtime • Dog boarding with daily walks and lots of attention • House sitting/overnights if you prefer your dog stays in their own home Availability: Now – 8th September: Very flexible, lots of availability. From 8th September onward I am starting part-time work so my availability would be: • Free most Thursdays – Sundays. My calendar is always kept up to date. In my home, dogs enjoy a secure garden, a calm and homely environment, and plenty of attention throughout the day. When caring for pets in their own home, I follow their usual routines closely, making sure they feel safe and settled while keeping everything consistent for their comfort.

“Joe arranged a meet and greet with me & Teddy before our first booking. My dog is a rescue, & has severe separation anxiety. Joe was very understanding of this and had a list of questions to ask me, to learn more about Teddy and her individual needs. Joe came for a drop-in visit the next day, to help ease Teddy in. She warmed to him instantly, was calm, excited, and just wanted to play with him. Joe is a natural, & just seemed to know how to put Teddy at ease, and how to reassure her & distract her when she became anxious & upset when I wasn’t there. It was only a few minutes, but I returned to find Teddy excited to see me, but also fairly content. This was very reassuring and I now have several upcoming bookings for Joe to look after Teddy (a mixture of walks and sits).”

Omari D.
“I own a 2 year old 60KG bullmastiff called Zeus, He is a very well behaved dog and amazingly trained too, he is also amazing with children and other dogs but as dogs do he can be quite protective of his family and house, Since getting a new job I needed someone to walk Zeus and mind him for only a couple hours before I get back home from work, Obviously I was very nervous about leaving Zeus with someone who he has never met before as most big dog owners would but Omari’s skills when he first met Zeus was amazing he really took to him and understood him as a dog, When I later picked my boy up from Omari they was the best of friends and I could see that Zeus didn’t want to say good bye as they have had so much fun together, I was so surprised and happy to see Zeus in such good hands, I would highly recommend Omari he is very professional and very wise about the nature of dogs and different breeds.”
