I would highly recommend Claire to anyone looking for a caring and responsible pet sitter. She was super considerate in my home and gave my cat all the care and attention she needed. Claire even spotted one of my plants starting to dry up and gave it some water! She was kind and a great communicator. Would book again for sure. Thanks!

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

About: I had a Golden Retriever who 18 years who was the love of my life. Since then I have been dog sitting / walking for family, friends and neighbours. I actually adore dogs ,more than humans! I think they bring so much joy . I am skilled with all dogs including puppies to senior. Very experienced with giving medicine / food at set times to keep a routine. Very happy to stay in homes to ensure all pets are calm and always on hand to give a cuddle I work from home and I can make my routine meet the needs of pet care. Always ensuring there is time for a walk 2 or 3 times a day, time for play and cuddles day and night. Weekends I will more then happily move my plans or encorporate pet sitting into my tasks as all my friends and family adore dogs so they will make them feel apart of the family in seconds with even more cuddles. Family and friends will pop over to see me and more important have cuddles with the pets, I love to have this enviroment in my home Ensure all fencing is safe and secure , locking gates and front doors, remove anything from the floor which could be chewed such as wires , shoes etc I am very experience with nervous and anxious dogs. If all full , one on one indepedant care is needed and I cannot have guests or men in my home, happy to support after a conversation with the pet owner and full list of needs is needed

About: Hi, I’m Louise, I’m the proud owner of Woody, my big-hearted 4-year-old Labrador cross (with a mix of Collie, Greyhound and German Shepherd) — he’s a gentle giant who keeps me busy and reminds me every day how much joy dogs bring. Caring for dogs combines two of my biggest passions: spending time outdoors and sharing life with four-legged friends. I regularly look after family dogs and love taking them on long, fun walks. Whether it’s cuddles at home, playtime in the garden, or a good stretch of the legs, I’ll make sure your pet feels happy, safe, and loved while in my care. I understand that every dog has their own personality, needs, and quirks. My goal is to provide a flexible, reliable service that gives you peace of mind and gives your dog the same level of love and attention I give Woody. I’m a stay at home mum so fully flexible with any routine. My children are older teenagers who love dogs. I’m very flexible and caring. We have a fully fenced garden with plenty of room to run around. There is a local park across the road for easy access to walking and I can drive to larger parks/woodlands for exploring.

About: Hi! My name is Amy! 😊I’m a caring, responsible animal lover with lots of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I’ve spent plenty of time around pets with different personalities, energy levels, and routines, so I’m comfortable adapting to each pet’s unique needs. I also regularly join my friend, who is a full-time professional dog walker, which has given me valuable experience handling multiple dogs, practicing safe walking techniques, and understanding proper pet care in everyday situations. This experience has helped me become confident, attentive, and calm when caring for pets. I treat every animal as if they were my own—whether that means fun walks, playtime, cuddles, or sticking closely to feeding and medication schedules. I know how important trust and communication are, so I’m always happy to send regular updates and photos for peace of mind. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are my top priorities, and I’d love the chance to care for your furry family member! I also want to make sure you feel safe and secure, so please message me regarding any questions - I respond quick!😊 Fully flexible as this is my full time job! I’m between a few apps, and have a few regulars which keep me busy but have plenty of space! I care for pets in their own home by sticking closely to their normal routine, including feeding, walks, and playtime. I always respect the home by keeping things tidy, locking doors and windows, and making sure pets are safe before I leave. Regular updates and photos are always provided.

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.

I really appreciated Karolina’s help with checking in on my cat while I’m at work. It was a very last minute request and she didn’t hesitate to assist. She documented her visit with loads of pictures and clear communication which I really appreciate. I feel much more relaxed knowing my cat will be alright at home until I’m back!

About: My family have always had pets! I have been brought up with cats, dogs, hamsters, guinea pigs. Animal care is my passion! My close family have cats and dogs, so if they’re busy or at work I do tend to help them out by taking them on walks. I have one cat, and I’m currently in the process of convincing my partner to rescue a dog with me! We both love animals so this is certainly the first step! I do work full time in a school, so I get all of the holidays off the same time as the students. However on the days that work, early morning walks/check ins or evening walks/check ins would be no issue at all. And of course there’s weekends that I’m free as well. My cat is super super loving and calm, my garden is fairly big and there’s a fence all the way around so there would be no safety issues

About: While I’ve spent a lot of time caring for cats, my love for dogs is just as strong—and I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments through sitting for friends, family, and neighbours over the years. From playful puppies to older dogs who need a slower pace, I’ve cared for them all. I understand how important consistency, calm energy, and clear communication are when it comes to looking after dogs—especially when they’re adjusting to someone new. Whether it’s sticking to a regular feeding routine, administering oral medication, or making sure they get enough exercise and attention, I’m dedicated to giving every dog the personalised care they deserve and acknowledging when your pet requires nurturing, affection and play time. I’m confident with walking, feeding, basic grooming (like brushing and wiping muddy paws!), and giving your dog the companionship they need while you’re away. I also make sure to learn each dog’s individual personality and preferences—some love long walks, others prefer cuddles and quiet time—and I adjust my care accordingly. Although I don’t currently have a dog of my own, it’s always been a dream of mine—so caring for yours is truly meaningful to me. I’ll treat them like part of the family, ensuring they’re safe, comfortable, and most importantly, happy! I currently have a commitment which durates to just 3 hours a day, Monday to Friday (3 PM – 6 PM), which leaves me with plenty of time and energy to care for your furry family members! 🐾 I’m available and flexible every day—including weekends and bank holidays—and I’m more than happy to work around your schedule. Whether you need early morning check-ins, midday walks, evening cuddles, full-day care or even overnight stays, I’ll do my best to accommodate your needs. Your pet’s comfort and routine come first, and I’m here to make things as smooth and stress-free as possible for both the family and your pet. At home, I have one very spoiled Ragdoll cat who even has his own house attached to ours! While he’s a house cat, we’ve created a safe, secure outdoor space so he can explore freely. He’s treated like royalty—endless cuddles, enrichment, and affection—and I bring that same level of care and compassion to every pet I look after. Although I don’t currently have a dog of my own, I’ve always dreamed of having one. So caring for your baby will genuinely fill a little hole in my heart 💛 Whether it’s long walks, playtime in the garden, or just a comfy cuddle session, I’m ready to give your pet the same love and care I give my own. Although I understand that every pet is different, I acknowledge their individual needs and always provide the best possible care for them. Whether your pet is shy, energetic, senior, or needs medication or special attention—I adapt to their personality and routine to ensure they feel completely safe, relaxed, and happy while you’re away.

About: I've had cats from birth. I often take the dog's of family members and friend's as I like to go for long walks and glad to have a purpose (to provide a dog fitness/need for getting out of the house) with me,. Often I go to fields, woods as I have a car. between 09:00 and 15:00 weekdays as this is without children. weekend afternoons are also fine (i assume most people will take their own dogs themselves at this point), but i have 3 children (6,8,10) so they would come, but they love dogs and enjoy walking too. When I go to an owner's home/dog comes to mine, they are provided with attention, are able to enter or exit into the garden, able to play with the toys: the time it is dog lead! ;-)

We frequently help friends and family by looking after their dogs, giving walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. Having recently moved into our own home together, we’re excited to welcome dogs into our lives again and provide a safe, loving environment where they feel happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. We both currently work full time Monday-Friday therefore we have our weekends free for pet care. Week evenings will also be available on request as well as some day times during the week due to working from home flexibilities. Please message us for more details/any questions We have a fenced garden with a locked back gate, no side entrance to garden meaning no side escape route.

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 provide calm, attentive care, making sure dogs get the exercise, play, and mental stimulation they need, and cats feel secure, comfortable, and understood. 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. I’m retired and lots of love and attention guaranteed. I’m a retired lady with lots of free time to look after your dogs and other pets. I have transport and more than happy to take dogs for walks. I expect to be with them for the majority of the day and overnight always. I provide gentle and attentive care for senior dogs. I prefer to look after your dogs in their own home as that’s where they are usually most happy but am open to other options as required. I always clean up after them so you will never come home to a garden looking like a dog toilet!

Claire has been a wonderful cat sitter! She visited Bessie twice a day and took time to play with her and sent us some lovely photos of Bessie which put our minds at rest that Bessie was happy Bessie is a very timid cat but she obviously got on well with Claire! I would highly recommend her.
