“Lucy was amazing! Having never left Rupert before I was so nervous he took to Lucy straight away Lucy keep intouch throughout her stay with lots of pictures, she was that amazing I have booked her again for later in the year. Thank you so much Lucy ?”
3. Emily R.
“Emily absolutely loves dogs, and I have never met a dog that doesn’t absolutely love her! I have left my dog in her care on many occasions over the last 9 years, either just for the day or a whole week, and honestly think my dog would rather stay with her than come home with me whenever I go to pick him up! She provides a safe environment for the dogs, and her focus is always on them, playing with them and making sure they get lots of fuss. She also has lots of experience walking dogs, either one on one or in a small group, and also has experience with reactive dogs too. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her for any care required for your pet! They won’t want to come home!”

She is such a kind and helpful lady. I would absolutely use Nikita again as she was the perfect sitter for me. 100% 5* service received. Thank you so much Nikita”

“Dalton is a very concientious individual who is caring.. Kind and considerate. He has always shown reliability and carefor my animals as much as I do my own animals. Dalton is trustworthy and I would definately reccommend him for any pet sitying for anyone who needed pet care and know he would look after them like his own Kat Lewis”
6. Scott N.
“It was such a relief to feel comfortable leaving Scott in my home with my dog Shadow. He got plenty of walks, lots of cuddles and I received numerous updates. As a dog sitter myself it was the first time anyone outside of my family had looked after Shadow, I was nervous but Scott was professional, approachable and obviously looks after animals… for all the right reasons. I will definitely be asking Scott to look after Shadow again in the future. Thank you Scott!”

9. David D.
About: No matter the age, size or breed of dogs, all they would like is to be loved and cared for. A dog doesn’t deserve to be locked away for hours on end in solitary confinement, a pack animal needs to have company and be stimulated, I can care for your dog in my own home in a family environment. As a retired person I have the ability to provide care for dogs ensuring they are have the correct amount of exercise and stimulation throughout the day and given attention throughout the night. My garden is fully enclosed and secured with large garden gates to ensure nothing can enter or leave without the family being made aware. Security is a major issue when entrusting someone to care for your pet!

About: Although I'm currently in my 3rd generation of huskies in the family I also run my own professional dog walking business. This isn't my part time hobby although is job is a great hobby. I have been running my dog walking business for 2 years now and this is what I do and love, I see others do this to make extra money but this is the only thing I want to do with my life. What I believe I'm good at is getting reactive dogs to finally experience socialise together. I've currently taken many dogs that have been instructed to be solo walks and managed to introduce them in a group setting and now they enjoy group weeks weekly after building trust in my handling skills Please Note: Check in visits are usually 15mins, will be upto 30mins if cleaning is needed. Cat Visits must be daily if away for longer then a couple days as booking everyother day visits is not good for hygenine and best care for cats. Please book longer or an extra visit on the last day if you to minimise any smells in the house I usually start my sit in an evening and I'm there for the overnight, when I wake up and do the feed, I'll walk them before leaving to do my dog walking appointments midday. This could be for 4 hours, where my schedule lasts longer then 4 hours I will spilt up the day to ensure they get some attention and not left for too long. After the dog walking schedule is done I'll be back in the house anytime from 2pm onwards for most of the night. Your dogs will get another walk before bed with or without my dogs as I do go home and walk my own in the evening so I get to see them. If your dog is not friendly ill just walk your dog before I run hoke to walk mine and then ill return back to your house for bedtime and we repeat it all again. The last day I usually leave in the morning but I can come back for a walk midday if needed before your return home. My schedule and habits will match of your own to keep the pets as stress free as possible. I will keep you updated daily via WhatsApp.

“**⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Exceptional!** For the past two years, David has been nothing short of incredible when it comes to taking care of our three dogs. From the moment we first met, I knew we could trust him with the well-being of our pets, and he has continuously exceeded our expectations. He has a natural way with dogs, building a bond with each of ours that is truly heartwarming to see. Our dogs range in personality—from our high-energy pup who needs extra exercise to our more laid-back senior who requires gentle care—and David has mastered their unique needs perfectly. Whether it's walks, playtime, or overnight stays, he consistently demonstrates responsibility, reliability, and affection towards them. Communication has always been seamless. He updates us with photos and videos, keeping us informed on how the dogs are doing, which gives us peace of mind when we’re away. His flexibility and willingness to accommodate our schedules, sometimes at the last minute, is also a huge plus. Our dogs are always excited to see him, and that alone speaks volumes about how happy and comfortable they are in his care. We couldn’t ask for a more trustworthy, dedicated, and caring person to look after them. If you're looking for someone who will treat your pets like family, look no further. David is hands down the best dog sitter and walker you could hope for!”

About: I've always lived with pets, and my life just doesn't feel complete without an animal companion. I got my first pets at a very young age and quickly learned the responsibilities that came with looking after them, helping mum out with feeding times or going out for walks with grandad. Despite this, I currently live alone and cannot afford to support a pet in my household, so I'm eager to assist any current pet owners however I can! As somebody diagnosed with autism, I often feel like I understand animals better than I understand people, which means I'll do everything in my power to make them happy. Nothing cheers me up more than seeing a wagging pup or purring kitten! My aim for all of the services that I offer is to leave your pets feeling happy and safe, which in turn brightens my day as well. In 2018 I studied Animal Husbandry to learn as much as I could about caring for and handling all kinds of critters - dogs, cats, birds, bunnies, rodents, bugs, reptiles, ponies, pigs, sheep, cows, llamas, meerkats, raccoons, skunks...you name it, I'll probably know how best to look after it! Many of my classes involved learning about how to spot discomfort or stress in animals, and how best to resolve any emotional problems that may come up, so you can rest easy knowing that your pets are receiving quality care. In addition to my studies, I also worked short-term in a local boarding kennel and cattery business as part of my work experience days, which means I can clean up most messes and accidents without facing too much trouble. You could say I'm an all-rounder with my knowledge on this kind of stuff! So, if you don't mind me getting too attached to my work, please consider hiring me to care for your pets! I'll do everything in my power to make sure that you don't regret your decision. As I currently care for a disabled person, my pet care services are unavailable from Sundays to Tuesdays each week. However, I am willing to fit pet care into every other day of my schedule! I will make sure to keep a close eye on your pets at all times, and can follow even the strictest set of rules. If any harm comes to a pet under my care you will be immediately contacted for updates, and I can take them to a vet if needed; I am also able to perform some life-saving manoeuvres on dogs in the unfortunate event of choking. I know how to fasten most harnesses, collars and leashes, but cannot currently apply muzzles as this is a skill that I need to re-train.

About: As a child I’ve owned rabbits, guinea pigs, gerbils, hamsters so I feel I have good experience with all kinds of animals including my dog who I’ve had since I was 12. I have studied animal management at Sparsholt college and have worked as a veterinary care assistant previously. I am flexible most days however from September I’ll be going on maternity leave. I would prefer to look after your dog in your own home. I will give my time to your dog and provide plenty of enrichment, offering two to three walks per day and playing games with them in the garden.
15. Hannah M.
“Hannah came to our house this evening and enthralled our 2 dogs (Maltese). She tactfully ignored their demanding behaviours (they are seriously spoiled) pans showed them boundaries and strokes and reinforced mature doggie behaviour for two 7 yr old dogs. They wanted to go home with her. We are so happy to have found Hannah.😀”
16. Leanne C.
“I was happy with Leanne and Simba seemed to look happy as soon as I dropped him off. She replied promptly and will definitely use her in the future”
17. Lauren W.
“I cannot recommend Lauren enough! She is reliable, trustworthy and goes above and beyond. My dogs adore her and that means everything to me. It was apparent from the moment I saw her interact with my dogs that it is not just a business to her, she loves and treats your pets as if they are her own. The peace of mind in knowing that my dogs were well cared for whilst we were on holiday is priceless.”
18. Kirsty C.
About: For the past 9 and a half years I've had the privilege of loving and caring for my Cocker Spaniel Max. He is the reason I have decided to start my own dog walking and pet sitting business. Family and friends are always in contact with me first to find out if I can look after or walk their pooches while they either go on holiday or away for work. The care your pooch will get along with extra companionship from my boy Max, (considering they get along well) will be the best of the best. Currently I work on an evening Wednesday to Saturday and Sunday any time from 12pm till 9pm (I can schedule to reduce my shift hours on a sunday if I am given plenty of notice. So I can spend plently of time throughout the day feeding, walking, playing and giving your dog(s) the social interaction he/she/they should need. I am fully insured and DBS checked. Staying over night in your home, so that your dog(s) will get all the care that they should need throughout the your absence. Your dog(s) will be at ease and will be more comfortable. Considering that the garden is fenced off for the safety of the dogs not able to escape. If the dog(s) are crate trained or owners want the dog(s) to be left in a specific room of the house i.e the kitchen if I need to go out on other walks, then as long as it is safe to leave them then I would. On walks they will be on a lead unless they need a lot of exercise and their recall and interaction with other dogs is socially acceptable.

“I have known Claire for many years now she looks after my pets on a regular basis and boy do I have a lot. She is not just my Pett Sitter !!!. She has now become my friend Claire will go above and beyond to ensure the safety and happiness of your animals. Once again thank you for always being professional and available”

About: I’m a 24 year old Data scientist/ CrossFit athlete working from home! I grew up in a house of 4 dogs and have my own pupper too. I understand what it means to talk a dog on a walk safely no matter how much they would like to pull on the leash! :) Happy to be a point of contact you can rely on during your time away. I work from home and my work schedule allows me to be fully adaptable to the needs of pets. Let me know with as much notice as necessary and I will try my best to help out. The environment is also shared by my wife who loves dogs and Fred our GSD who is normally found asleep. The building itself is quiet.
