I am so relieved to have found James to look after my Jack Russell, Jasper, for me. James is a very calm and gentle person and was amazing with Jasper. He also looked after the house beautifully and kept it pristine. My tomatoes were lovingly watered and are thriving too. Travelling next time will not be stressful knowing that I can count on James.

About: Hi, I’m a second-year undergraduate student studying Zoo Biology and Animal Science, with a Level 3 Diploma in Animal Management. I’m passionate about animal welfare and have experience working with a wide range of species, breeds, temperaments, and behavioural needs. I’m confident caring for both dogs and cats of all ages, from energetic puppies and kittens needing patience, routine, and basic training reinforcement, to senior pets who may require medication, gentle handling, or extra support. I understand how important it is to maintain a pet’s normal routine, so I’m happy to follow feeding schedules, exercise plans, enrichment activities, and any specific care instructions closely. Having worked with animals in both practical and educational settings, I’m comfortable with nervous, shy, reactive, or high-energy pets and always aim to create a calm, safe, and positive environment for them. I’m reliable, attentive, and genuinely love spending time with animals, making sure they feel happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. Your pet’s wellbeing and happiness will always be my top priority I study from home and am currently working on a research project/ dissertation for ky final year at university. This means I am completely open and have no set schedule, flexibility is key. I have qualifications in animal handling and I will always put animals first. My home is safe and so is your fur baby.i have a dog of my own, a little 4yr dachshund and his temperament is very docile and he is recall trained

Jess is a dog loving person. She is very friendly and bubbly . Bella stayed with her for 4 days while we were away. House was left very clean. Bella was happy from the day one . She can be nervous meeting new people but with Jess she was at ease . We got updates throughout the stay. Videos and pictures which were lovely. We already booked Jess for 2 more stays. Looks like Bella has a lovely new friend. Highly recommend!! Thank you Jess for looking after Bella ❤️🐾

About: I absolutely adore dogs and cats and have been around them and have taken care of them throughout most of my life. I have a professional background in pet care as I have worked for two different services while living in New York City (Barkly Pets and Oh To Be A Dog) where I traveled all around the city visiting and walking dogs. It was one of my favorite jobs I've ever had and it would be my pleasure to help out anyone in or around Hertford who need someone to look after this furry little friend! I'm currently working part time and will either have the day or evening fully open on weekdays to walk or visit your pet! During the weekend, I am more than happy to be fully available to have your pet stay here in my home. I have a very flexible schedule so I can more than likely adhere to your schedule and needs! I live in a house in Hertford that has a fairly small fenced in garden where your pet can use to relieve themselves or sunbathe. I also have a very cool basement where your pet can go if it's a bit too warm outside. There is also a huge and beautiful park right near my house where I can take your dog for nice long walk as well. I will make sure to have water and snacks on hand as well if they are ever hungry or thirsty as well.

My dog Barney is a rescue and has separation anxiety and doesn't take to people very quickly, but in Molly's case he took to her straight away. Molly arrived on time and did a marvelous job keeping Barney occupied and out of mischief. His SA wasn't noticeable when I arrived home as he obviously felt safe and secure with Molly, so instead of getting jumped on all over I got a normal welcome back from him. I most certainly recommend Molly and will be asking her again in the future. Thank you Molly. Regards Cliff

Amy was fantastic - she came to see Finn before the booking and he was instantly made to feel special and a quick bond was creating. I had regular updates and photos throughout the booming so I knew Finn was being well looked after. I will definitely book Amy again.

About: I’ve owned and cared for dogs since age 13, with hands-on experience across labradors, collies, golden retrievers, labradoodles, Boston terriers, and mixed breeds. For the past three years, my wife, my son Tom, and I have cared for dogs locally through other sitting platforms, earning consistent five-star reviews. We offer a settled family home where dogs follow familiar routines. Feeding times stay consistent, walks match each dog’s energy and needs, and dogs receive daily attention and affection. I watch behaviour, comfort, and wellbeing closely, so owners feel confident their dog feels safe, relaxed, and cared for like one of our own. I work remotely, so dogs stay part of my daily routine rather than fitting around gaps. Walks happen regularly through the day, feeding times stay consistent, and dogs receive attention between work tasks. Care runs alongside looking after my son, so dogs stay included in a calm, structured family day rather than left alone. I care for dogs in a safe, calm home environment and follow each owner’s instructions closely. I focus on routines, supervision, and wellbeing rather than specialist grooming or pampering services. I am not professionally trained in grooming, but I ensure dogs stay clean, comfortable, secure, and well cared for at all times.

First time we have had Hugo looked after in our own home so we wasn’t too sure what to expect. Chloe was on time and very warm and Hugo took an immediate liking to her which made us feel comfortable from the start. Chloe updated us with photos and what Hugo was up to. Will definately use her again as we can see that Hugo enjoyed Chloe’s company and we felt very much like Hugo and our house were in safe hands!

About: Hi, I’m Amy! 🐾 I’m a passionate animal lover who has grown up with dogs my entire life, so caring for them comes naturally to me. Over the years, I’ve had lots of experience dog sitting for family and friends, looking after everything from energetic puppies to older dogs who need a gentler routine. My priority is always to make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’m reliable, patient, and committed to keeping their routine as consistent as possible—whether that’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just lots of cuddles. I know every dog (and owner!) is different, so I’m happy to work around your pet’s individual needs. Please feel free to enquire for times so we can match up and make sure your pup is well looked after. ☺️ Pet sitting fits really well into my schedule as I’m able to work flexibly and adjust my time around the needs of the dogs I care for. I have availability most weekends and can often work around weekday requests too, depending on your requirements. I’m happy to discuss times so we can find the best fit for both you and your pup. 🐾 I have a quiet, pet-friendly home with a secure fenced area, and I’m conveniently located near green spaces and plenty of parks—perfect for lots of lovely walks and outdoor adventures.

Lauren was fantastic in everything from communication, flexibility, sending pics and updates and most importantly, a very nice human being :) 
She genuinely cared about our Great Pyrenees, Alan, and you could tell how happy she was to be spending time with him while staying at our home. He had lovely, long walks and was given his medication with no problem. In every picture, Alan looked at Lauren like he was in love! We absolutely would have Lauren take care of Alan again!

About: I've grown up with both cats and dogs, from Rottweilers to Schnauzers, so animals have always been a big part of my life. I have looked after friends and family dogs, which I adore. We share our home with little Stanley, a 6 year old rescue dog who’s full of love. He enjoys playing with other dogs and is a big fan of his afternoon naps. Your dog would be treated like family and given all the love, attention, and care they deserve. Stanley and I go on two daily walks and he’d be thrilled to have a new friend to join us on our adventures. I am a part time flight attendant, so your dog would be with me on my days off and never alone. I am fully DBS checked. We have a lovely fully fenced in garden and live two minutes from the park. The dogs can have free range around our home, sofas aren’t off limits :)

About: I've had dogs all of my life. I've recently lost my show cocker spaniel in December 2023 named Buttons. I miss him dearly and miss the company of having a dog in my life and home. I have the pleasure of looking after my son's working cocker spaniel Jessie aged just 10 weeks when he is off on holiday. I work in a primary school in Hoddesdon as a teaching assistant and I have lived in Hertford all of my life. I work term time so I am only available in the school holidays and most weekends. I have a fenced garden and a locked outside gate. Dogs can be crated or have the downstairs to themselves. They are allowed on sofas and beds.

We couldn’t have asked for a better dog-sitter than Louise! She looked after our dog for almost 10 days, and her calm, relaxed nature won him over straight away. Not only did she take amazing care of him, but she was also incredibly respectful of our home, going above and beyond our expectations.
