“Evie house sat for our four dogs and (just one!) cat while we went to a family wedding. She was excellent. Very engaged before the booking and provided a great service allowing us to enjoy the wedding without any concerns. We have no hesitation in recommending her.”

“We left our 6 month old fox red lab with clare why we attended a hospital appointment with our daughter. Having met clare beforehand we knew Rusty would be in good hands . On the day clare arrived early and we explained a few things before heading off . We had lots of updates whilst we were out , pictures and videos and to be honest he seemed happier than he is with us ... lol . And when we got back the house was clean and tidy ..... amazing thanks clare 👍. Clare certainly has a lot of experience and he warmed to her straight away. I would have no doubt about leaving Rusty with her again and can fully recommend her services. Thanks again clare . :-)”

“Lara was terrific. She got along with our dog instantly. She asked good questions about exercise, routine, food… We felt very comfortable having her stay in the house and we retuned to clean home with a happy dog. We will definitely book her again.”

“Sue is THE BEST. She cares so much about my dog that I don't have a worry in the world leaving him with her. Sue is caring, thoughtful, warm and friendly. I would recommend Sue to anyone looking for someone to leave their precious pets with - you're in more-than-safe hands. We'll have Sue back any time we are away in the future! Thank you ever so much, Sue xxx”

“Sophia was great! She was polite and friendly, arrived on time and was accommodating to our needs. Ava has been well looked after and is pooped now! We will definitely book Sophia again. Thank you 🥰”

“I cannot recommend Elisha highly enough. She took great care of my 2 golden retrievers. She followed all my instructions and when I returned the dogs were very calm and happy. Elisha is kind, caring, helpful and very friendly. I will be booking her again next time.”

“This is the first time I’ve left my dog with a sitter and I couldn’t have asked for better. My dog Barker was completely at ease from the very first minute which is a real testament to how Madeleine is with dogs. She kept us up to date throughout our holiday with fab pictures and stories which showed that our dog was having a brilliant time and was relaxed and happy. The house was in perfect condition on my return too, A very happy customer!”

About: Hi! I'm Kelci, your local dog-crazy Lady: l am a qualified, and experienced dog walker with full insurance and a whole lot of love for our four-legged friends. Whether your pup needs a fun adventure or a calm stroll, you can count on me to treat them like one of my own. Reliable, caring, and totally obsessed with dogs - your best friend is in safe hands with me! To me this is more than just a job—it’s a part of my everyday life. As someone who currently works part time, I’ve dedicated the rest of my time and energy to doing what I love most: caring for animals. Whether it’s a morning walk, midday visit, or evening cuddle session, I’m available every day of the week to ensure your pets are happy, exercised, and well looked after. This isn’t just a side hustle for me it’s the foundation of the full-time pet care business I’m building. I take pride in forming real bonds with the animals I care for and providing peace of mind to pet parents. Each day, I’m grateful to spend time doing something meaningful, and I’m excited to continue growing this passion into a full-time career. When I dog sit, my top priority is making sure your pup feels safe, relaxed, and right at home—because they are at home. Staying in their own familiar environment helps reduce stress and keeps their routine consistent. There’s no unfamiliar kennel, no new smells or sounds—just their cozy bed, favorite toys, and the comfort of home. I treat every dog like my own, giving them plenty of love, attention, and care while you’re away. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or just hanging out together, I make sure they feel secure and content until you’re back.
“Sarah looked after our house and dog for three weeks. Absolutely no concerns at all. Sarah kept us updated and sent us photos of our dog and he was clearly very happy and well looked after. Would definitely recommend Sarah.”

About: I’ve spent years caring for my three Cocker Spaniels, giving me hands-on experience with a breed that’s energetic, affectionate, and full of personality. From daily walks and grooming to managing routines, training, and lots of playtime, I’m comfortable handling dogs with high energy and big hearts. I know how to keep pups happy, safe, and engaged, and I bring that same level of patience and care to every dog I look after. I’m happy to be available to look after your adorable pets any evening after I finish work as an apprentice at 3pm or on any weekends! Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. With years of hands-on experience caring for my three Cocker Spaniels, I’ve learned how to create a calm, structured, and secure environment for dogs of all personalities. I keep a close eye on routines, body language, and comfort levels to ensure every pup feels safe and understood.
About: I’ve been lucky enough to spend my life surrounded by animals of all shapes and sizes – from playful pups and cuddly cats to tropical fish, and even bees! 🐝 Animals have always been a huge part of my world, and caring for them comes naturally to me. I have hands-on experience looking after dogs, cats, and fish. I’ve also trained my own dogs, which means I understand how important patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement are. Whether it’s a puppy learning the ropes, or an older dog who needs a gentler pace, I adapt to each animal’s unique needs. With bees, I’ve learned the importance of calm handling, respect, and attentiveness – skills I bring to all the pets I care for. Safety, trust, and making sure your pet feels comfortable are always my top priorities. Your furry (or finned!) family member will be cared for as if they were my own – with love, attention, and plenty of fun. A Day in My Care 🐾 • Morning Walks (7am – 9am): A refreshing start to the day with plenty of exercise, sniffing, and tail wags. Perfect for dogs who like to burn off energy first thing. Session length can be discussed. • Midday Visits (11am – 2pm): Feeding, toilet breaks, playtime, or a calm walk — tailored to your pet’s routine. • Afternoon Adventures (3pm – 5pm): Shorter walks as welcome as the longer ones, or quieter sessions in the garden depending on your dog’s needs. • Evening Check-Ins (6pm – 8pm): Dinner, toilet breaks, and some quiet companionship to wind down. Your pet’s safety and happiness always come first. I understand how much trust it takes to let someone else care for your furry family member, and I take that responsibility seriously. • Safety: I keep walks controlled, calm, and enjoyable. I only use secure leads and harnesses, avoid unsafe areas, and always pay attention to your dog’s comfort and limits. It’s always good to get to know your dog beforehand so let me know what they’re like both inside and outside, any behavioural quirks or anything else you might think useful. • Trust: Animals respond best when they feel safe and respected. I will take time to get to know your pet’s personality so they can relax and enjoy themselves while you’re away. • Environment: I adapt to your pet’s routine and surroundings to reduce stress and keep things familiar. Walks can be energetic adventures or calm strolls, depending on what your dog needs. You can feel confident knowing your pet will be cared for with patience, consistency, and kindness — as if they were my own.
“This was the second time we left Willow in Jayne and Brian's excellent care, this time for just over 2 weeks. We could see form the daily video and message "pupdates" what a fabulous time Willow was having❤️. Jayne and Brian also looked after our house really well and we came back to a very happy and relaxed dog as well as a clean and tidy home. Because of Jayne and Brian we were able to really enjoy our holiday as we could see our furbaby was so well looked after. We can't recommend them highly enough - and we have already booked a repeat stay.”

About: Hello! I’m Brigid. I’m currently having a break from work, but can’t pull myself away totally, so am offering some pet sitting and dog walking hours. By nature of the job, I’m an all animals type of person, but have a particular soft spot for the kitties. Please note that whilst I am a fully qualified vet, I will not provide any veterinary work, perform any clinical exams, or give any veterinary advice. For me to do the aforementioned is neither legal nor ethical. What I can offer is peace of mind for you if you have a pet with a medical condition and needs specific treatment administering, eg diabetics requiring injections, or pets with dry eye. My day to day work is keeping animals happy and healthy, detecting potential medical problems, and administering medications. I do sadly have lots of experience performing CPR in emergency situations, and am full capable of performing first aid in order to get your pet to their registered vet. If I decide your pet ever needs to be seen by their registered veterinarian, I will contact you immediately. I will be available most days, including the Christmas period and weekends. I’m an active walker regardless, and have lots of routes I can take your little one on with me. All whilst taking care of my own cat, Witchwitton! I currently cannot look after pets within my own home. All pet sits would need to occur within your home, but I am open to visiting multiple times a day or staying longer hours.
“Megan was fab! She’s so lovely and clearly knowledgeable and experienced with dogs. Megan looked after both our older family dog and our 6 month old puppy simultaneously! She managed to juggle 1-2-1 time with both of them and keep us updated. I would rebook Megan in a flash!”

More recently my blind diabetic dog who was 17. I have experience in caring for all breeds and sizes of dogs, including puppies and older dogs requiring medications. I understand how difficult it can be finding dog care and not wanting to use kennels which can be stressful for dogs. I live in a large dog friendly house on a nature reserve, with lots of walks on my doorstep and a large doggy day care room where dogs can play or chill out on the large dog sofa, beds. Whilst I am not ready to have any more dogs of my own, I miss having dogs around and I’m in the ideal position to be able to look after your dog/dogs here in the Peak District. I’m offering a bespoke dog boarding, day care, tailored to your dogs requirements. Rest assured that your dog will be on a holiday of its own with me. I am the biggest dog lover you’re likely to meet. Your pet will not have to fit into my routine, I will be fitting into your pets routine. Your pet will have my full attention whilst with me. We will be going on lots of long walks together and having fun. My house is very dog friendly and your dog would be free to roam around all the house. I would keep your dog in the same routine as you’d have at home. Your dog could have access to supervised outdoor space and would be taken on regular walks. Please note, I do not have a big garden but I do have an outdoor yard and decking areas, also a small front garden and patio area. Dogs would have regular walks. I have done volunteer work in dog shelters and can handle all types of dogs. I am also experienced in managing any physical ailments such as diabetes etc.

About: Hi! 👋 A little bit about me…I’ve grown up with animals in my life and have had pets since age of 5. Growing up on a farm, I’ve always naturally had an affinity for animals. I have experience looking after kittens, puppies, cats as well as dogs. I have been trusted to dog sit for friends and family for most of my adult life, but have been doing so professionally for the last few years. If you have any questions at all - feel free to message me. I currently work from home so have now got increased capacity to make weekly trips to look after other peoples pets. Hence I am opening my availability up to provide care for more pets. Caring for each pet is different and I am more than happy to meet requirements of each pet’s specific needs and routine alongside providing a watchful eye and fulfilling their personal interactive needs such as cuddles/petting, treats, and continuing their training as requested.

Eve is the perfect pet sitter! Our two sausage dogs absolutely loved her and you could tell how much she cared for them too. From her first introductory message all the way through to finishing a two-night pet sit, Eve was professional, friendly and a great communicator. She made us feel completely at ease knowing our boys and the house were in safe hands. The regular updates were really appreciated and our house was left in spotless condition - with two very happy, walked and waggy-tailed dogs to return home to. Thanks so much Eve, we will 100% be booking you again!

Evie has been amazing at looking after Pepper, on time which was very early in the morning (5.30am) constant contact , quick to reply . Sent lots of photos and pepper settled very well with Evie which she doesn’t with everyone . I’m going to be booking with Evie again and again 😀 would recommend her to anyone 🥰 thank you so much for putting me at ease so I can enjoy my holiday Evie .
