“Annie was great with Koji from the moment she met him and I could tell he was at ease around her so felt really comfortable. During her visit with Koji, Annie kept me well informed and sent photo updates and I could see Koji was really happy and being well cared for. I highly recommend Annie and I look forward to next time she can look after Koji as he clearly is a fan too.”


“I was nervous about leaving my cat with a sitter I didn't know for the first time, but that didn't last for long! Molly came over to meet Kylo before I left, and once looking after him I received regular updates and pictures which I appreciated! I knew he was being looked after well and would definitely recommend”


“Molly and Tom are a fab couple who took wonderful care of my darling Missie. I was so reassured after the first booking, that I had no worries about this much longer period. They did all as I asked and Missie seems as happy as usual (lol) - job well done and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend these guys to look after anyone’s precious fur-baby.”


“Not sure if I can do another review. But wanted to show everyone that Georgia is great and I have booked again and will continue to book when needed. Great communication, and updates are fab! And I can tell she really takes care of my kitty. Egbert loves her!”


About: Surrounded by dogs my whole life and caring for them has always come naturally to me. Growing up in a household full of dogs taught me from early on the important of patience, routine and understanding each dog's personality. Whether it is an energetic pup needing a good run, or a senior dog that likes a gentle stroll and some affection. Friends and family often rely on me to walk, feed and look after their dogs whilst they are away, knowing that their fur baby will be in reliable hands! I am currently in between jobs, so I have plenty of free time and flexibility. Walking dogs is something I genuinely enjoy, so it fits perfectly into my days right now. Even when I do find a full time role, I'd love to keep dog walking going on the side when I can. When walking your dog, I will stick to their usual routine including their pace, route and any training/rules you share with me. I will make sure they get plenty to exercise, sniffing time and attention. I will always keep you updated with a quick message or a photo and always make sure your dog comes home happy!!

About: I have a wide range of animals and also volunteer at a local wildlife rescue and rehab. Animals have always been my passion and therefore I have developed many years of experience caring for them. Also as a qualified human nurse I am very responsible, reliable and knowledgeable when it comes to emergency situations such as injury or illness. I only work one day a week on a Monday as a nurse. The only time I am away from the house is for 15 minutes twice a day for the school run. I could possibly offer a pick up and drop off service in the local area. I can offer care for many different pets either at my home or yours. I have a very larger fenced garden and a very friendly female dachshund. I also care for my friend’s female Dachshund two days a week.

“Grace looked after our puppy and she was absolutely amazing. Really caring and professional. She provided updates during her visits, which were really reassuring. Will definitely contact again in the future and would thoroughly recommend!”


“a big thank you to Ellie for looking after our two nervous cats! They seemed to relax with Ellie very quickly and were well taken care of. Ellie was very responsive and great to work with, highly professional and trustworthy. thanks again. :-)”

About: I’ve shared my life with dogs and cats for as long as I can remember, and for the past few years I’ve been caring for pets in their own homes while their owners are away.

I treat every animal as an individual, respecting their routines and personalities so they feel truly at ease. I’ve owned dogs for 40 plus years. They have all been rescue dogs. My favourites are Schnauzers- I’ve had three including 2 giant schnauzers. I love all dogs and animals including cats, rabbits, goats and horses.

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and have experience with both young puppies and older dogs of multiple breeds/sizes. I’ve always been a huge animal lover and have enjoyed spending time caring for them as long as I can remember. Dog or cat sitting is more than a job but a genuine pleasure and their love brings light to my life! Having graduated University in the last year and working on what long term employment will look like, I have a fair amount of free time on my hands. Having looked after not only my own dog at home, but helping out with family and friends animal care, I feel that broadening my clientele would be a perfect fit. Seeing as I’m often free, this means I am also open to longer periods of dog-sitting or later bookings. I care for pets by showing them not only the basic needs such as feeding, walking etc but care and affection as well as any specialised requirements. I love to go beyond and treat the animal as if my own or a member of the family! Whether this mean extra hugs or playing and mental stimulation.

“I cannot speak highly enough of Jane and the incredible care she provides. From the moment we met, it was clear that she has a deep and genuine love for all animals. Her warmth and compassion immediately put both me and my pet at ease. Jane goes above and beyond in every aspect of pet care. Whether it's sticking to a feeding schedule, ensuring plenty of play and exercise, or simply offering comforting companionship, she treats every animal as if they were her own. What truly sets her apart is her knowledge—Jane understands the specific needs of different breeds and species, from common household pets to more exotic animals. Her experience and attentiveness give me complete peace of mind whenever my pet is in her care. It’s rare to find someone as dedicated, reliable, and knowledgeable as Jane.
