“Tamara was great with Moose. We met for a coffee a day before and instantly knew he’d be in great hands. Excellent communication through the day and he was worn out when we got home so I knew he’d had a lot of fun playing all day! Would 100% recommend”

“We were very please with Mark and the way he looked after our dog Zella in our home. He arrived promptly on time and Zella took to him straight away.

“Nelly had a wonderful day with Anette. I had plenty of photos and videos throughout the day to keep me up to date on their day. I could tell she was extremely well taken care of and I wouldn't hesitate to book Anette to mind Nelly again. Thank you!”


“Lauren was recommended to me when we desperately needed a sitter for our Huskita who suffers with terrible separation anxiety. She fitted him in short notice and was super flexible and helpful. She happily made any changes we needed for dropping him off to aliviate as much stress for Loki as possible. She gave updates through the day and really put our minds at rest. Loki felt instantly comfortable with her and he came home happy and tired. Highly recommend. Thank you Lauren for making a difficult day so much easier for us all and looking after our baby so wonderfully!”


About: I’m a seasoned dog sitter who adores both bouncy puppies and gentle senior dogs. From walkies and mealtimes to cozy sleepovers, I’ve got it covered. One of my favorite furry friends, a deaf and blind senior dog, even became my full-time companion and came to live with me—we had a blast together! Whether your dog needs extra cuddles or a fun adventure, I’m here to make their stay special. I work from home in a semi-self-employed role, so my schedule is flexible. With a bit of notice, I can be available for daytime care, walks, or multi-night sleepovers—whatever your pup needs! My home in Deal, Kent, is a doggy paradise near the beach, with a securely fenced garden for safe play. We live on a peaceful estate, perfect for leisurely strolls with older dogs or exciting outings to the beach or nearby country park for the more adventurous. I’m a confident driver, so visits or special trips are no problem. Your dog’s safety and happiness are my top priorities.

“I was very lucky to find Christine and that she was available to look after Lollie. It was short notice and really helped me out whilst I attended a funeral & family gathering. Lollie can be sensitive but I knew immediately Christine and her husband would be kind and gentle with her. Lollie was as happy as I’ve seen her going to someone she doesn’t know. Photos of Lollie were sent to reassure she was absolutely fine. Thank you so much.”


About: Hello! I am a dog lover who has been around dogs since I was a small child. I welcome any small dogs to come and play at my house with my own small dog (he loves small dogs but is a bit frightened of larger dogs). If you have a larger dog I can come to them at your house for walks and cuddles! I'm easy going and very nurturing towards dogs, and I know how important it is to feel you have left your dog somewhere where they are safe and comfortable. I have previously worked as a volunteer at an animal sanctuary, where I socialised and bathed dogs, as well as helping the vet with their medical care. I promise to take excellent care of your pooch! I’m currently working part time so am available most days. I’m happy to have dogs in my home or come to you, according to your preference. I’m a safety-conscious, responsible person. If your dog is at my house, I will take them for regular walks in our local park, either on-lead or off-lead, according to your preference. They can also go to the toilet in my garden! At your home, I’m happy to be led by your dog’s usual routine!

About: You can leave your dog with me knowing that I will love and care for your dog like it’s my own! I live close to big fields, an enclosed dog run, the beach and woods! What more could a dog want!! I have had dogs as pets my whole life. They hold a special place in my heart ♥️ I am always home so your dog will never be without me! I have all the time in the world for playtime, snuggles and attention! I will follow your instructions on how you care for your dog and mirror that in my home. I live in a 3 bedroom house with a secure fenced garden. Your dog MUST be good with children. I have two children age 3 and 6. They are very used to dogs and know how to behave around them.

About: I have been brought up around dogs and more recently my partner and I volunteered at a dog shelter with over 100 dogs, we spent a month learning dog behaviour, cleaning, feeding and walking gentle giants. We are both calm natured and believe love and kindness bring out the best in dogs. We have been around rescue dogs that have nervous tendencies and they learnt to trust us over the time we were volunteering. We are avid walkers so we are happy with energetic dogs, also love cuddles for the lazier ones. I am currently working from home freelance so I have a lot of time and can work from anywhere. We are both very flexible and can happily stay out. I have a lot of experience with dogs big and small, I will be able to walk, feed and give your pets the attention and love they need and want. My weekly routine is very flexible due to the nature of my work and working from home. I am able to choose my hours of work I welcome pets into my home as if they were my own, I have a small garden they can run around in with high walls so owners will be confident that their pets will be safe in my home and garden I have a ground floor flat with it’s own entrance and private garden.

About: As an experienced dog owner and sitter, I really understand what dogs need, especially those high-energy ones like my Irish Setter! What makes me stand out is my personalised approach - I always tailor the care based on your dog’s unique personality and energy levels. Whether your puppy needs a bit of structure with basic training or your older dog just needs some gentle love and care, I make sure every pup feels safe, happy, and well looked after. And since I’ve got plenty of experience with energetic dogs, I’m always up for long walks, playtime, and plenty of exercise! I love building a bond with each dog I look after, so they feel comfortable and have fun, whether they’re staying with me or we’re off on an adventure together! As a self-employed artist with flexible working hours, I have the freedom to adapt my schedule to meet your pet's needs. Whether it’s providing daytime companionship, early morning walks, or evening care, I can easily adjust my routine to ensure your dog gets the attention and exercise they need throughout the day. My flexibility allows me to give your pet the care they deserve, whenever it fits best into your schedule. When I care for pets in their own home, I make sure they get plenty of attention and stick to their usual routines to help them feel comfortable and secure. Whether it's playtime, cuddles, or simply being present, I aim to make the experience as stress-free as possible for both the pet and the owner. During walks, I focus on more than just exercise-I also provide mental stimulation. We might explore new routes, practice some tricks, or engage in interactive play to keep their minds as active as their bodies. And for high-energy dogs, I love offering energetic, long walks with plenty of play and running around, ensuring they get the activity they need to stay happy and healthy.

About: I've been walking/caring for dogs of friends and family for some time now. I love having dogs in the house and going for walks. I treat any dog in my care as if it were my own. Don't hesitate to get in touch and let me know if you have other things you'd like to know about me 😀 I work from home and hav time and capacity to care for dogs at home and/or do walks on weekdays and the occasional weekend. I live with my wife and our 4 year old and in the future we hope to welcome a dog into the family, so it would be really fantastic to support dog owners whilst getting to know some different breeds before we make this big, exciting commitment. I can care for dogs at home who wouldn't mind hanging out in the home office and are good with young children. However, I am flexible to walk any type of dog because it would just be myself on the walks. This way I can give a dog what they need and individual attention and care. Working at home I would love some canine company! When looking after pets in the home they always have their own space available where our son is not allowed to go to, so they always have a calm/private space away from the family. They're also welcome to be part of the family if the prefer and we love to play/cuddle/chill out with whichever dog is in our care. Essentially it's dog-led and I respect that, especially when the dogs don't know me well yet. On the walks I'll always keep dogs on lead unless explicitly discussed otherwise and can do whatever type of walks are better for the individual dogs - woods, long, short, beach, just round the block.

About: As a passionate and dedicated pet lover, I am committed to providing exceptional and personalized pet-sitting services. With a strong focus on reliability and compassion, I ensure your pets receive the utmost care and attention. Although new to professional pet sitting, my enthusiasm and genuine love for animals drive me to create a stress-free and enjoyable experience for your pets. Choose me for peace of mind and a loving caregiver who will treat your pets like family. My flexible schedule allows me to accommodate early morning, midday, and evening visits, adapting to your pet's specific needs and your busy life. Whether it's daily walks, feeding, playtime, or simply providing companionship, I am committed to making your pet's well-being a priority. My reliability and adaptability ensure that your pets are never without care, no matter how unpredictable your schedule may be. Your pets will enjoy a comfortable, safe, and loving environment in my home. They will have access to a pet-friendly space with plenty of room to play, relax, and explore. I provide regular feeding, exercise, and playtime, ensuring that they maintain their routine and feel at home. With constant supervision, your pets will never feel lonely and will receive the attention and care they deserve. I make sure to follow your pet's usual routine to minimize any stress or anxiety. My visits include not only taking care of your pets' physical needs but also providing companionship and love while you are away.
