About: Hey! I am happy to care for your pet in any way you need. I have experience with dogs, cats and rabbits and have been around animals from a very young age. I myself have a lively golden retriever, a stubborn but loveable miniature dachshund, as well as a sweet and friendly british shorthair cat. I run my own Etsy business from home, which only takes up an hour or two of my time every day. This means that I can be available at pretty much any time of the day, any day of the week to care for your pet. I am very flexible and can accommodate requests at the last minute, as well as being open to changes in my schedule if your plans change. I can offer drop in visits for your pet at a time that's convenient for you. I can let your pet outside, feed them, or administer necessary medications as well as provide general company and some fun playtime. I will send regular photos / videos of your pets for your peace of mind. I’m also happy to fit in any small tasks you require in the home if needed :)
About: I have had dogs for most of my life from big to small and know that they are an important part of your family. Having recently lost our 2 border terriers I find myself missing the pleasures of having a dog around the house. I would love to care for your dog during the day when you are unable to do so. I am now retired and have the time to give your dog the attention it needs, from long walks, cuddles and chill time. You can be rest assured that you beloved pet will be looked after. Being retired means that I can look after your dog five days a week and I am available from early in the morning until late in the evening. I live a large town house with a back garden that the dogs can use, they will have the lounge, utility room and garden at their disposal. I also live 2 minutes away from Connaught Park where I will take them for walks as well as other nearby walks.
“Hannah was amazing with our dog Tao. Came and met her a few days before the booking as she can be nervous meeting new people. Dropped her off and Hannah allowed us to stay for a bit to make sure Tao settled. Hannah sent lots of messages, pictures and updates during our time away and really put us as ease. Tao had a great stay and came back a happy and exhausted pup! Highly recommend Hannah.”
“Emily has been wonderful, staying in our house and looking after Angus while we were away for 10 days. We received regular updates of their time together, hanging out, playing and on a variety of different walks. Angus has LOVED their time together and that they both looked so happy made us feel really at ease. Emily looked after our house perfectly and we will definitely ask her to have Angus again when we next go away.”
“Katy is a wonderful dog-sitter and such a lovely person! I must have changed my timings ten times (!) And she just kept saying don't worry, it's OK. She sent photos and kept the house tidy. Our dogs are very friendly but also very high maintenance regarding a strict and unusual feeding, hydrating and medicating regime due to serious health conditions. Katy gave us complete confidence that she would handle everything, and she delivered. We'll certainly be hiring her again!”
About: I have taken care of puppies, old dogs, dogs who have diabetes and even disabled/ paralysed dogs. I have a healthy happy environment for dogs to enjoy I work part time so I am able to spend lots of time with your pet and even when I am at work I can drop home every 2 hours as I only work five minutes away from my house. I have a very big fenced of backyard due to having a dog of my own who has sadly since past away. Pets are allowed in every room in my house, on sofas and beds too.
“Emma was a wonderful dog sitter. We booked for for a 5 night stay in our home while we were on holiday, caring for our 2 rescue French Bulldogs. After doing a couple of intro sessions, we had every confidence in her, and we weren't wrong. The dogs were unsettled by the change, only 2 months after we adopted them. We had builders in. One of the dogs has a medication regime and both dogs have personal care regimes to be followed. The dogs challenged Emma with chewing things in the first couple of days, and she took absolutely everything in her stride. She sent us photos, looked after the house, left it clean and tidy and had even stripped her bed when we got home! We can see for ourselves how well the dogs look, so we know Emma has really looked after them with their cleaning and medication. We'd have Emma in the home again without hesitation, and recommend her highly to others.”
“Georgia is fantastic. Bernie absolutely loves her to bits and she takes the best care of him. I get constant updates and pictures and she will also ask if she’s unsure of anything. Can highly recommend”
About: I have always grown up.with pets in the house and mainly they have been XXL size dogs. This makes it a lot easier when it comes to looking after other people's pets especially if they are on the larger side. I currently do a house sitting for a lovely bull mastiff cross Rottweiler and he just loves the time we get to spend together. Please feel free to ask anything else you might want to know I've just currently been made redundant so am looking to just fill my time between finding another job. I will of course keep doing this where possible once I know what my new working schedule will be. I currently have 2 indoor cats so as you can imagine the main priority it making sure they don't attempt the great escape so I'm very conscious of doors and windows being opened. Where they are indoors cats it does mean they need more playtime and interaction so that's never a problem, most of my free time will be playing with them or giving them love
“Samantha was amazing. I felt so comfortable leaving her in my home looking after things and the fur babies. I came home to a clean house and seeing the way my dog greeted Samantha with me here proved she was obviously well looked after. Only criticism is it’s a shame Samantha isn’t local as I’d definitely be using her again!”

Maisie L.
“Maisie is a very responsible pet owner. She has cared for numerous dogs in the family over the years and she has always been keen to play and have fun with animals. She has had extensive experience with dogs and rabbits, and has more recently adopted a kitten. She is good at putting animals at ease and is very attentive to individual pets needs. I would trust her to care for any animal and put them first in any situation.”
