“Ka Yua visited beforehand to meet the dogs. He clearly cares for dogs and was keen to understand what was particular about ours. Ka Yua arrived early, spent a long time playing with the dogs in the garden and sent us plenty of pics & videos of happy, calm dogs. A great help Ka Yua, thanks!”

About: **Caring & Reliable Dog Walker and Pet Sitter in Uttoxeter** I'm a **Fully Insured, DBS Checked Dog Walker & Pet Sitter** and have completed a **Canine First Aid course**. I have experience caring for dogs and cats with different personalities, ages and routines, always adapting my approach to each individual pet. Whether it's a walk, a home visit or pet sitting in your home, my priority is to provide reliable, personalised care while keeping your pet happy, comfortable and following their usual routine as closely as possible. I take the time to get to know every pet's personality, habits and individual needs, so they feel safe, relaxed and enjoy their time with me. I keep owners updated with regular photos and messages, so you can see how your pet is doing while you're away. I'd love the opportunity to meet you and your pet, and to provide the same care and attention I'd want for my own. Pet care is part of my everyday routine and I love it! I walk my own dog every day and I already take two lovely dogs for a walk every lunchtime, so adding more walks or visits fits perfectly into my schedule. I plan my days around the dogs I care for, making sure they get the right amount of exercise, playtime and cuddles Safety and comfort always come first. At the owner’s home, I follow their routine carefully, keeping everything as familiar as possible for the pet. I give fresh water, feed according to instructions, and spend time playing and giving cuddles so they feel happy and relaxed. At my home, dogs are never left unattended, and I have a secure garden where they can safely enjoy some fresh air. I supervise them at all times and make sure walks are always on a lead unless the owner agrees and it’s a safe area.

“Danielle was such a lovely lady, very well organised and super communication. At a meet and greet our cat warmed to her immediately which gave us such confidence. Sadly we had to cancel last minute due to illness and Danielle was very understanding. We were so impressed we've booked her again.”

“Eleanor was the perfect carer for Olly. She visited every day, spent time with him and took him out for a short exercise period. Olly was very happy with her. We would have no hesitation in recommending Eleanor.”

“We had a great experience with Rachael on drop in visits to Mia. She was reliable, caring, and kept us updated with photos and messages while we were away. Our Mia was happy and relaxed when we got home, which says it all. Highly recommend!”

About: I am a second year veterinary student with a lifelong passion for animals and hands-on-experience caring for a wide range of pets. Growing up with animals, I have trained my own dogs and regularly care for family, friends and neighbours dogs. Through my veterinary studies, I have developed knowledge of animal behaviour, handling, health and welfare allowing me to easily spot if any health issues arise in your pet. I have also completed placements at a dog and cat boarding kennel and an animal rescue centre giving me practical experience working with animals of different ages, temperaments and needs. I provide reliable and compassionate care, treating every pet as if they were my own. I have recently completed my second year of veterinary studies and am available for pet care from now until 28th September. My schedule is highly flexible including week days and weekends allowing me to accommodate a wide range of pet care needs. Please note that I have veterinary placement commitments during the weeks commencing 17th august and 24th august 2026. During these two weeks, I will be available on weekday evenings after 6pm and throughout the weekends. Outside of these dates, I am available throughout the day and can offer a high degree of flexibility to suit owners schedules. When caring for pets in their own home, I prioritise maintaining their usual routine to help them feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. I follow all instructions provided regarding feeding, exercise medication and any specific care requirements ensuring each pet receives attentive and individual care. I take the time to provide companionship, enrichment and exercise appropriate to the pets needs while monitoring their health and wellbeing. As a veterinary student, I am familiar with animal behaviour allowing me to recognise signs of stress, illness or discomfort and respond appropriately. I also treat owners houses with respect, keeping the area clean and tidy and providing regular updates and photos for peace of mind. My aim is to ensure both pets and owners feel relaxed and confident throughout the pet sitting experience.

“We booked Maisie to drop in on our cat for a long weekend while we were away. She went above and beyond making sure that he was well looked after and cared for. We got regular updates with how he was and plenty of photos! She is super friendly and replied quickly to any queries we had at the time. Would 100% recommend and book again! Thank you 😊”

About: I love walking and taking my own dog to local parks, fields and National Trust sites. I have experience of volunteering at a dog kennels and have always had a dog in my home since I was born. I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability. I have a clear DBS check, a clean and full UK driving licence and am taking a pet first aid course in April 2026. I have helped with dog care for friends and family and am trustworthy and reliable with a genuine love for pets, especially dogs and cats. Days when I have the most availability are Tuesdays and Wednesdays, I can look at other days including weekends but would just need advance notice. I am adaptable and respectful when entering someone's home and making sure everything is left as I found it alongside making your pet as comfortable as they can be and providing what they need whether this is just company and fuss on a sofa or an energetic walk.

About: From the moment I got my Dobermann, Mila, in December 2021, I was completely hooked on dogs. Their unique personalities, their boundless energy, and their unconditional love quickly turned me from a dog lover to dog obsessed! When Mila sadly and unexpectedly passed in 2024, I knew I needed to honour her by dedicating more of my life to dogs - especially those still waiting to feel the love she gave me. That’s when I began volunteering at Just for Dogs, a local rescue. For the past year, I’ve spent every Saturday and Sunday walking rescue dogs, giving them much needed human interaction, and helping them build confidence. Even more rewarding has been opening my home to foster some of these dogs - providing them with a safe, loving space where they can adjust to home life and prepare for their forever families. From nervous to confident, tiny to huge, cuddle bugs to playful adventurers, it’s been an honour to play a small role in their journey to happiness. With this experience, I feel confident in offering the very best care for your dog - tailored to their unique needs and personality. Whether it’s long walks, sofa cuddles, playtime, or simply being a calm companion, I’ll make sure your pup feels safe, happy, and loved. I work full-time Monday to Friday, but my flexible hours and ability to work from home mean I can easily fit pet care into my daily routine. This allows me to provide dog walks, drop-in visits, or companionship throughout the day, as well as plenty of attention before and after work hours. I prioritise safety, trust, and a calm environment in every pet care situation. In my home, I ensure dogs have a secure, comfortable space with access to water, toys, and a quiet area to rest. When caring for pets in their own home, I follow the owner’s routines and instructions closely, maintaining a familiar environment and minimising stress for the dog. My goal is always to create a loving, predictable, and safe experience tailored to each pet’s needs.

“Charley was amazing and really went above and beyond. My cat is usually cautious with strangers, but Charley was able to gain her trust from the very first visit. She sent me updates and photos every day, so I always knew everything was fine and my cat was in good hands while I was away for two weeks. She also left the house clean and tidy. I will definitely book Charley again and would highly recommend her.”

About: I have two dogs of my own and have been a dog walker for 3 years. I have a certification in pet first aid and am fully insured. I also have a van and offer group walks. I work between 4 and 6 during the week and have flexible university hours meaning I'll be able to work around the pet owner's schedule. I have a fenced yard as well as two friendly dogs to keep your dog company. I can crate your dog if needed but have plenty of room to play.

“Antonia is an absolute Gem! She came to stay at our house to look after our cat Binx for 10 days and I couldn't of wished for a better sitter. Antonia looked after Binx like she was her own, she kept us updated with lots of pictures and videos, the house was spotless when we returned and she had even left us some flowers and a freshly baked loaf of bread! We came home to a very happy and well looked after cat and it was a huge relief to know she was comfortable with Antonia whilst we were away, a privilege very few people get with Binx. Thanks again, we will definitely be rebooking in the future!”

About: I have had and looked after many animals (mainly rescues) since I could walk. I have extensive experience with dogs and have grown up around cats. I have been pet sitting in Melbourne Australia for the last 3 years and love working with my clients regularly to help their dogs feel settled while they are away. I have worked with all sorts of dogs from chilled out sleepy pooches to angsty or nervous pets! I am currently work part time with some study online, which can be done from home. My shifts are normally only a maximum of 5 hours as I work as a personal trainer, so your pet wouldn’t be on its own for long! I don’t offer dog sitting in my own home as I have a rescue dog who is not great with new dogs. However in your home I promise to leave it clean and tidy and make sure your pet gets all the attention and walks or pets they need!

About: I have always grow up with dogs and love to be around dogs. I’m quite flexible as I travel with work, I only work two days a week so am available 5 days a week a can book time off from work if enough notice is given for longer stays. Happy to support any training in place, as well as doing small household tasks when it’s a longer stay I work two days a week Sunday and Monday. However am completely available on other days. If you wish for me to be available on these days it will have to be booked in advance unfortunately. I enjoy a good walk everyday so your dog will always have a good walk or two a day! I will always respect your home and treat your pets as if they were my own. I know they are such a big part of your family!

About: I spent 14 years caring for my own Labrador, so I understand the daily rhythm dogs and cats need — regular walks, feeding times, and plenty of attention. Alongside that, I've helped friends and neighbours look after their dogs and cats whenever they've gone on holiday, covering everything from walks and feeding to daily drop-in visits to check in, play, and keep them company. I know how much peace of mind it gives you to know your pet is in safe, familiar hands while you're away. Whether it's a daily walk, a feeding visit, or a full day of company, I treat every pet like my own — with patience, consistency, and genuine care. I'm based in Stoke-on-Trent. I'm happy to discuss your pet's specific routine and needs before we get started. My schedule gives me great flexibility for regular care. On Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays, I'm free all day and can offer morning, midday, or evening dog walks, along with drop-in visits at any time that suits you. Tuesdays and Wednesdays, I'm at university, so I'm generally available in the evening. On weekends, I'm available in the afternoons around my work schedule. I'm happy to work with you to find times that fit your pet's routine. For dogs, I focus on giving them plenty of exercise with long walks, along with lots of playtime and attention throughout the visit. For cats, I bring that same energy minus the walks — spending time playing, engaging with them, and making sure they feel comfortable and looked after while their owners are away. Whether it's a quick drop-in or a longer visit, my goal is to make sure every pet gets genuine attention, not just the basics.
