About: In my years, I have helped look after dogs (including helping my mum with our labrador's litters), cats (including my cat giving birth under my bed and raising the kittens until they were ready to go to their new homes), guinea pigs, rabbits, hamsters, gerbils, fish and even a snake! I love all animals and never feel a home is fully complete without at least one! I have a zero-hours contract job and a child for whom I share custody on a 50/50 basis. I have availability during school hours, evenings and alternate weekends. If you are happy for my son to be a part of the pet boarding/sitting process, then I would have more frequent availability. In whatever capacity I am entrusted to care for your pets, I will listen to, and follow, all of your instructions. I will give your animals the same level of care, attention and love that you give them and will work with you to ensure a successful service is provided.

About: I’ve taken care of a variety of dogs since i was young, being relied on by both family and friends to care, feed, walk and keep company of their pets. I am active so will happily accommodate to your dogs needs. I will treat your dog as-if they were my own! With plenty of photo updates throughout! I’m able to work from home and are currently in the look for a new job venture. I’m friendly and trusting and love to get out for long walks, hikes and adventures no matter the weather. I have a fenced back yard that’s connected to next doors (they’re joint with an opening) however the whole yard is enclosed from getting out on the street. Pets are allowed to roam around the house and happy for them to be on furniture - I will make your pet as comfortable as i can whilst they’re staying with me. Happy to work with the owner in caring for their pets the way they do to help keep up with routine.

“Paula and John looked after my little dog Panzer at short notice. I felt very at ease as he was well welcomed into their home with cuddles and treats! They took excellent care of him and he came back happy and tired after a lovely long walk. I would happily recommend and wouldn't hesitate to bring him back for another visit!”

About: When I was born our family dog was 6 months old so U can really say I've grown up with dogs. Milly my Toy poodle has had pups and I just love caring for and training little ones. Just the perfect place for you doggies while parents are away. We have paddling pools and sprinklers and lots of space and shade for summer days relaxing by the pool and ball play. All kinds of balls footballs tennis balls rubber balls bouncy balls. Toys to chew and cuddle. Walks in the snow or patterning in the puddles. Our home from home consists of two toy poodle girlies my son and I have lots of space and love to spend time with animals we are very welcoming and trustworthy. Knowing that I could only trust my girls to be happy in a home board not a kennels I provide the Perfect Place for your dog to feel loved and safe until your return. I will be able to offer boarding for small to medium dogs females and males. I look forward to meeting your pet and spending some wonderful time with them. Thanks for your interest. I am retired and I'm home most of the day. I have 2 Toy poodles and a 10 yr old son who loves animals and is always supervised with them. Our girls are our world and the day is filled with fun balls cuddles treats training and the odd bath much to their dismay. Our home is safe and secure I have cameras up and webcam log in is available to check on your pet while you aren't with them. The garden is 10000ft sq and fully enclosed.

“We've used Priscilla a couple of times now. Oscar loves her and always comes back very happy. She keeps us updated regularly and takes such good care of him.”

About: I've taken care of pets since I was a small child. I grew up on a farm in the Peak District and was always surrounded by animals and nature. As an adult I have taken care of family dogs and cats when they have gone on vacation. I am teacher however during the school holidays I am not working and have availability to look after your pets. I have this flexibility to walk your dog or spend time playing and keeping your pet company. Please note that if you are booking to board on a weekend during term time, the Friday drop off will need to be after 4:30pm. And Sunday pick up will to be before 9pm. I have a high fenced garden, I don't have any pets currently living with me at home. My home is suitable for pets and all this not suitable will be locked away. The safety of your pet is my priority.

About: About Me Hi, I’m Gina, a lifelong dog lover based in Derby. I used to have a rescue lurcher who I adored, so I understand the love, care, and patience dogs need, especially those with a sensitive or unique background. Sadly, I lost my dog in October, and while I’m not ready for a new pup of my own just yet I’d love to offer a loving and reliable home to care for yours. My Home & Experience I have a pet-friendly home with a secure, good-sized, enclosed garden that’s perfect for playtime. I also have a large dog crate available for dogs who prefer the comfort and security of their own space. Whether your dog loves cuddles on the sofa or quiet naps in their own corner, I tailor my care to suit their routine and personality. What I Offer • Dog sitting (in my home) • Overnight boarding (in my home) • Flexible availability • Comfortable, calm environment with one-on-one attention I know how important it is to feel at ease when leaving your dog in someone else’s care, so I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages throughout their stay. Feel free to reach out with any questions or to arrange a meet & greet! I work from home Monday to Friday which means I’m around throughout the day to provide consistent care, supervision, and company for your dog. My routine is flexible, so I can easily accommodate morning, lunchtime or evening walks, feeding schedules, playtime and quiet rest periods tailored to your pet’s needs. Dogs are never left alone for long. In the week they may be occasions where they are left for no longer than 2 hours at a time and weekends no longer than 4 hours. During the day, I work from my home office upstairs where dogs are welcome to join me and relax by my side while I work. They will enjoy a calm, quiet environment with plenty of attention and reassurance. I have a good-sized, enclosed garden, perfect for supervised playtime and regular toilet breaks throughout the day. There’s also a large dog crate available for dogs who feel more secure having their own space but this is optional depending on your dog’s needs. In the evenings, we can unwind together downstairs. Pets are welcome on the sofa for cuddles and company. I tailor care to suit each dog’s routine and personality, whether they prefer playtime, peaceful naps, or lots of affection. Your pet will feel safe, settled and part of the home.

“Took care of my boy for a day, provided pictures and communicated well with pictures provided during the stay. Cara did an amazing job of settling Ein in and he was so sad to leave. Highly recommend.”

“Great sitter for Stoffel. Good communication beforehand to ensure everything went smoothly. Would definitely use Chloe again if the need arose. Recommended.”

About: I've had two dogs in the last 14 years. Ringo and Sam. Couldn't face losing another. Making new friends and taking good care of them, that's the next best thing. I'm retired, so have plenty of time on my hands. I play golf at the weekends but finish around 10am. The rest of the weekend is normally free. I live in a secure gated area with gardens to the front. No other pets in the community at present. No pet issues with neighbours.

About: As a animal lover and zoology graduate, I am very passionate about animals. My range of experience from working at an RSPCA rescue centre to Chester zoo have allowed me to be able to deal with a range of different animals and personalities, whether that’s timid or friendly. I’m currently working part time looking to get some more working and animal experience to help get a career with animals. I am available most days I will make sure to respect the pet owners home and keep things tidy and the way that I found it, being respectful of both the owner and pets needs.

“Helen is brilliant with Milo. She sent me some cute pics and updates through out the day. He’s having a good sleep on the sofa right now, tired after having lots of fun play time with Helen’s lovely dogs. Very very happy with the service and will be booking with Helen regularly.”

Adele K.

“Our dogs were so happy to be at Helen's, we had no worries about leaving them there as they went off playing with Helen's dog straight away. I got photos of them on walks and relaxing at the home, during their stay - which was very reassuring. When we picked the dogs up, they were excited to see us but equally ran back to Helen for a cuddle when we were chatting, that tells me that there were no problems. We will definitely be using Helen again.”

Jade J.

“Freddie had a great time with Carla! She kept us up-to-date with photos and videos throughout their time together, and made us feel at ease. She and her partner were very kind and welcoming and we'd definitely come back!”

Jo S.

“Couldn't of been happier with Joe looking after Mylo while me and my girlfriend visited Alton Towers for the day. He's an 11 month old Staffy so is very excitable at first when meeting new people and being in new places and he handled it perfectly and kept me updated over the day. He was tired on the way home so was obvious he had been on good walks and well played with. Also Joe's a really nice guy and would definitely use him again when I next visit the area.”
