“I was apprehensive about leaving Bertha with anyone apart from family, we found helen and so glad we did! Bertha was cared for and looked after like their own, I received plenty of updates and photos whilst away that helped to put my mind at ease. Helen is great and I will definitely be booking again for next time!”
“Rachel was fantastic with our girl who has seperation anxiety / some reactivity to other dogs. Rachel was very attentive to Luna’s needs, made sure she felt right at home, and sent us lovely pictures of their walk and time together throughout the booking. Would definitely recommend!”
“Chester enjoyed his time with Lone and her young family . I would fully recommend Lone to look after my puppy again in the future. Chester was not stressed or anxious on collection. In fact he was still happy to be there once I came to collect him. Thank you Lone it was a big help today see you soon 😀”
“First time using Jade and I’ll definitely use Jade again! She made sure to keep me updated with how Winnie was getting on and send me loads of photos which made my heart melt, Winnie had the bestest day to the point where she didn’t even want to get back in the car! Jade looks after your pup like she’s her own and it’s amazing to have that when it’s needed!”
“Grainne took really good care of George at late notice when I had to be called out of town for work. It was during a heatwave and George was kept cool and stimulated with Oscar! He has been sleepjnf like a log since he has come home.”
“Jasper would have gone to my daughter's wedding and created havoc no doubt if the venue had allowed it - but they didn't, so the next best thing was a protest vote and go one better - a night in with Patrycja and her partner watching Netflix. And he got so much more than he bargained for. Lots of attention (what self respecting velcro dog wouldn't love that?), a new BFF as she had another furry friend staying over, and lots of walks with photos to dad thrown in. Honestly Patrycja, he couldn't have asked for a better experience. Thank you for looking after him and a loving lick from a very tired Jasper.”
“Ben went above and beyond with our little Reggie, this was the first time we had to booked a sitter, so I was very nervous, but Ben, was contacting me and sending lovely messages and updates and photos of Reggie through the entire week we was away on our holiday, which i so appreciated from him, it made me feel at ease and I knew Reggie was being cared for and in safe hands with Ben, and in the extremely high weather temperatures we was having at the time, having a frenchie you can appreciate it is very hard due to Reggie’s breed, but yet again Ben took care of it and made sure Reggie was safe and comfortable, Which once again was down to Ben. From the moment I saw Ben as we introduced ourselves and with his own dog Noah, I knew Ben was the person for us. I want to thank Ben again personally and to Noah for making Reggie’s stay so welcome for him, and definitely will be having Ben again for Reggie’s stay in future, many thank Ben ☺️”
“Highly recommended, will be booking with sabina again. She is very experienced with caring for dogs/animals and even provided some training for my dog whilst caring for her. Tallulah was very happy and comfortable staying with Sabina & her lovely family.”
“Never met Pete but Hayley was great. She communicated everything we needed to do and the checks she did with us made us feel like she really cared about our dog. The dog came back with no issues and spent the day sleeping so he was more than happy.”
“Chloe looked after Sky for a couple of days and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. She was incredibly attentive to Sky’s needs and made sure she felt comfortable and settled from the start. We really appreciated the regular updates and photos. Sky looked so happy and relaxed the entire time. Sky is a sensitive soul, and it’s clear Chloe has a natural way with dogs. We were genuinely 110% happy and wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommend!”
“The service Paulina provided was fantastic. She was very friendly and our dog felt very comfortable and safe with her. She sent lots of videos and constant updates about our dogs wellbeing. Would definitely recommend.”
“Thank you to Sarah, Matt and the boys. Terry went to stay for a few days while we went to a family wedding. He had a great time and was really welcomed into the family, in fact, not sure he wanted to come back! Will definitely be going back again. Thank you so much”
“Dilma and Eric and their family did a great job taking care of my miniature poodle Jimmy for 10 days. I was a little concerned beforehand as he needs time to get used to strangers but they made him comfortable quicker than I thought would happen. By day two he looked happy and integrated into the household on the photos and video updates I received. I received these updates daily and the communication during the whole stay was good. If I need someone to take care of Jimmy again I'll be contacting Dilma and Eric for sure and would recommend them to anyone else needing a dog sitter.”
“Beth and Rosie, you two are absolutely fantastic! From the start, I felt completely informed and reassured, with constant updates and loads of wonderful photos. It was clear that Rufus was having the time of his life and was in the best of hands. Not only did he have a blast, but he also made two amazing friends—both human and doggy! Thank you for going above and beyond to make me feel at ease, and for treating Rufus as if he were your own. I know he's counting down the days until he can see you again in just four weeks! 😊”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, so caring for animals has always been a huge part of my day-to-day life. I currently have a young greyhound puppy of my own, which has given me plenty of recent hands-on experience with puppy care, including toilet training, lead walking, building confidence, establishing routines and positive reinforcement. My family dog is now a senior, so I also have experience caring for older dogs and understand that they can require a gentler pace, extra patience and care tailored to their individual needs. I’m also a cat owner to my 3-year-old cat, Spot, who I’ve had since he was a kitten. This has given me experience with both kitten and adult cat care, so I’m very comfortable looking after both dogs and cats. Having pets of my own means I completely understand how important it is to trust the person caring for them. I’m patient, reliable and attentive, and I’ll always treat someone else’s pet as I would my own. I’m happy to follow their usual routines, accommodate individual needs and make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection and reassurance while in my care. Pet care already plays a big part in my everyday routine as I have pets of my own, so fitting walks, drop-ins and pet sitting into my week comes very naturally. I’m organised and flexible with my time and will always make sure I have plenty of time for each pet, rather than rushing visits. I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual feeding, walking and toilet routine wherever possible, as I know how important consistency can be for keeping them happy and settled. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my priority. When caring for pets in their own home, I’ll follow your instructions closely and respect their existing routine, environment and boundaries. I’ll take the time to get to know their personality and allow nervous or shy pets to approach me at their own pace. On walks, I’ll keep dogs securely on lead unless specifically agreed otherwise and pay close attention to their behaviour, surroundings and interactions with other dogs. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy and receiving plenty of attention and affection while they’re with me. 🐾

About: due to always being surrounded by cats I have experience with ages from kitten to elderly. I have experience with both indoor and outdoor cats aswell as providing medication for them
“We would highly recommend Lynda. Her love for animals shines through, which makes leaving your pets in her care stress free. We received reassuring photos and messages each day of our break so we were confident that our cats were happy and well looked after. This in turn allowed us to relax and enjoy our time away. Thank you Lynda,”
About: I’ve grown up around cats and dogs, so have lots of experience caring for them and becoming accustomed to their behaviours and how they communicate. I also spent some time doing work experience in a cattery/boarding facility and enjoy spending time with animals, so I’d love to meet new cats!
About: I absolutely love cats, I have experience cat sitting in clients homes and caring for indoor cats in my own home. I always follow each cat’s usual routine, and whether they’re cuddle loving or more independent, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved and have everything that they need.
“Martin was professional in every way. We have 2 cats, a needy queen and a nervous boy. He was attentive and followed instructions and messaged when ever he needed some more clarification which was appreciated. It was over the Christmas period and new years. And the cats were happy and healthy when we returned. He even kindly vacuumed and cleaned around the house before our return which was lovely as it meant less stress for us! We will definitely be asking for his cat sitting services in the future. 😊”
About: I have been babysitting cats for years since I was at school I remember revising for my GSCEs while house sitting Harry he was my first cat and he was so good the whole week I took care of him. I have had so many babysitting jobs with cats since a lot of my friends have cats and family memebers have cats too, they are such a pleasure to take care of, I look forward to having a play with them or just relaxing and making them feel comfortable around me.
“Sue looked after my very old cat brilliantly. The house was lovely and tidy when I got back, as my cat flits her litter everywhere. Communication was very good throughout and I would definitely use Sue again to care for my cat.”
About: Here’s what I can offer: 🐾Home visits & house sitting 🐾Dog walking & playtime 🐾Feeding & fresh water 🐾Medication administration (oral & injectable) 🐾Regular photo and message updates 🐾Loads of cuddles Your pet’s happiness and well-being are always my top priority! As a final-year Veterinary Nursing student, I do a lot of my university work from home, so I really enjoy the company of pets throughout the day. I only attend classes two days a week and have large gaps in my schedule, which gives me plenty of time to provide care and attention. During holidays and study breaks, I’m even more flexible, making pet care a natural and fulfilling part of my routine. I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort by tailoring each visit to the pet’s usual routine and personality. I offer house sitting in the pet owner’s home, which helps reduce stress and anxiety, especially for more nervous pets. I also provide free pop-in visits before the booking to help anxious dogs feel more at ease. With my veterinary training, I confidently manage pets with medical needs, including oral and injectable medications. I always maintain a clean, secure environment and provide regular updates so owners feel reassured while away.

About: I've grown up with cats in the house and over the years taken care of many different breeds. As I've spent time caring for different cats, I've found their different personalities very funny, from cuddly to slightly grumpy, and I enjoy the company they bring.
About: Having owned my own dog, I've gained valuable experience in providing comprehensive care and ensuring a happy, healthy life for my furry companion. From daily walks and playtime to regular vet visits and training, I've learned the importance of consistency, patience, and love. This hands-on experience has equipped me with the skills needed to care for other dogs with the same dedication and attention. You can trust that your pet will receive the same level of care and affection that I give our family dog. Please note I work Monday to Friday until 4pm and am available for pet sitting after work during the evenings and/or overnight and most weekends. I ensure flexible, reliable care for your pets. I provide pet care by staying at the pet owner's house, ensuring a comfortable and familiar environment for your pets.

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Paulina looked after our dog, Jilly, for the day and we couldn’t be happier with the care she provided. She kept us updated throughout the day with lovely photos, which gave us real peace of mind. It was clear that Jilly was well looked after and having a fantastic time. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Paulina to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter. We’ll definitely be using her again in the future. Thank you, Paulina, for taking such great care of Jilly!”
“I was very nervous about leaving Tucker with anyone, as he is a very anxious dog around both people and other dogs. From the very beginning, Chloe’s communication was fantastic. She was happy to meet beforehand and do a meet-and-greet so Tucker could be introduced in a calm, relaxed way, which immediately put me at ease. The way Chloe interacted with Tucker made me feel comfortable straight away. When we dropped him off yesterday, her communication continued to be excellent. She kept me updated on how he was settling in and sent regular updates throughout the day, including lots of photos, which I really appreciated. I will definitely be using Chloe again. In fact, I’ve already booked her for next month and plan to continue doing so to help Tucker build familiarity and confidence. We’ll then be introducing overnight stays, which will make such a difference for us as a family, knowing we finally have a reliable and caring person to look after him when needed.”
“Sabina was amazing, she was super accommodating with my puppy and the communication was fantastic, despite the fact it was super last minute, can't recommend her enough. I got regular photos and updates which was really nice given it's the first time we have been apart. I would take my pup back anytime”
“After a welcoming "meet and greet" with Brian and his wife we booked Chester for his first day care stay with them. Chester is a typical cockapoo, but rather anxious and it takes him a while to gain people's trust so we were somewhat worried about leaving him. Brian and his wife are such kind, considerate, and patient carers so our concerns were addressed and we were reassured by Brian's feedback and photos as Chester enjoyed his long walk with them. We have no hesitation in recommending Brian a will definately ask him to care for Chester again in the near future.”
About: Hi, I'm Emma! I'm a fully licensed and insured pet carer with a Level 3 Diploma in Canine Care & Management, as well as Pet First Aid certification. Caring for animals has always been my passion. I grew up on my family's farm, where I helped hand-rear lambs, calves, and foals. From there, I went on to work with horses, greyhounds, and hunting hounds, giving me experience with animals of all ages, breeds, and temperaments. I started my pet care business because I struggled to find someone I truly trusted to look after my beloved pug, Teddy. That experience inspired me to create the kind of service I was looking for myself—a safe, loving, home-from-home environment where every pet is treated like one of the family. Whether your dog loves long walks, cuddles on the sofa, or simply having company throughout the day, I'll make sure they receive the care, attention, and affection they deserve. My priority is ensuring both you and your pet feel completely comfortable and confident while you're apart. Pet care at In The Doghouse is around the clock! Our bed is your bed, your pets needs is my priority, they're not just your family they're mine too. I have a fully secure good sized garden with plenty of toys. Double locked gate, with CCTV. Dog cam is also used inside the home.
“For a first time ever at daycare I'm really pleased. Obi is a nervous little guy sometimes and Dilma and co. really helped Obi feel comfortable. He even had a little nap which I was surprised at. I didn't know if he was going to be able to settle in a strange environment. Will definitely be coming back for another play day x”
“In today's busy world we all need people like Sue there to help us out when needed. She looked after Cassie for me when I really needed someone. Both myself and Cassie were very happy with the service she provided and would recommend her to look after your pup.”
About: Hello! My name is Sarah and I live with my husband Matthew. I have been looking after people's pets since I was a child, and I've always loved animals. We are an animal loving family (the kind that throw their dogs birthday parties). I am very trustworthy and love having dogs around. We have a detached house and a secure garden with a large lawn for them to play on. A dog in our care will be treated as a family pet and have the run of the house and garden. The can sit on the sofas with us and come upstairs at night . My dogs mean the world to me, and I pride myself on giving all dogs the best possible care. We only take small dogs due to having a little chihuahua who finds larger dogs a bit overwhelming, so you don't have to worry about your dog being upset by larger breeds. We may consider a slightly larger dog if it is very calm and/or older. I work part time (2 or 3 days per week), and my husband does short days, so the pooches are never on their own very long. We like to take them on at least two good walks per day, in different locations, typically parks or forests. We make sure all dogs on our care are really happy, and I send regular photos and updates about your pooches because I know how nerve wracking it can be leaving them. We typically look after only one client's dog(s), so your pet(s) would get our full attention. I am happy to give any medication. Please let us know your dog's routine and likes/dislikes and we will do our very best to accommodate them. We're happy to answer any questions you might have, and we are looking forward to meeting you and your dog! I work part time 2 or 3 days, and my husband works from home sometimes and does short days also so our dogs (and yours) will seldom be left alone, and never for very long. We walk them 2 times a day in a range of locations to keep it fun! Weekends can be long long walks if they like. We have a detached 4 bedroom house with a large, secure rear garden laid to lawn. Your dogs will have the free run of the whole house. We always keep your dogs on leads for walks, and we will make sure they only eat the food you provide.
About: Dog lady, love dogs! Owner and carer of dogs for 20yrs. Recently studying dog behaviour course and have clients for both dog walking and behaviour therapy. Kisses and cuddles a plenty!! I’m a (young) retired teacher. Retrained as a dog behaviourist. I have two primary age children and need to be around for school pickup and drop off but I’m flexible with the rest of my time. I’m available Monday to Friday I have a fenced garden and two crazy fun pupsters to play with your fur baby if they enjoy play. Or an 11 yr old guy who likes to snooze if that’s what your little one prefers. Alternatively, for dog walking I have a dog mobile that I can pick up and safely collect and return your furry family member. I never walk more than three dogs at a time and by arrangement can walk separately if needed. I’m calm and patient and love my time with four legged friends so, their health and safety is paramount to me at all times 😍
“I’ve booked with Hayley and Pete a few times now and I wouldn’t want my furry friend to go anywhere else. Lots of love, care, and fun walks, and it’s real peace of mind to know he’s with such a lovely family. I would highly recommend. Graham, Hazel, Michael and Snoops. 🐶”
About: I had 2 beautiful staffies that have now passed on due to old age and I know how hard it is to find good people to look after your pet last minute or even for holidays or days out, I miss having dogs but like to travel so can no longer be a permanent dog owner, but I'm happy to share the love and look after your furry friends In your time of need. I have experience looking after cats and dogs in my adult life and had various other pets as a child (all had fur or feathers) I do not allow animals on my furniture or on/in my bed, these are my non negotiables as I like the spaces I use to relax to be free of dog hair and dirt. This doesn't change the fact that your pet will be loved and fussed (if that's what they like) I prefer dogs to have a crate as my 2 loved theirs and it helps keep boundaries in the home, however, I am flexible with each pets individual care needs, I can sleep downstairs or have your pet sleep in their bed in my bedroom if needed for anxious pets or those used to sleeping in bed with their owners. I would prefer a visit/meet before any official booking to ensure I am the right fit for your pet and vise versa, but I appreciate this won't always be possible, communication is key, as I want to offer the best care possible for your pet. I have experience in crate training, muzzle training and puppy/toilet training. I have also have experience with teaching dogs of all ages new tricks, commands and stimulating their minds so they are more receptive to learning. I have been looking after other people's dogs before for years including family members, friends and a few friends of friends. Ive had dogs stay with me for weeks at a time too. Whatever your needs are give me a shout, I used this service myself for my boy years ago and was very anxious to leave him with a stranger so please ask any questions you may have, I'm an open book. I work from home on certain days of the week, this can change as sometimes I may need to visit clients but this is rare and usually pre planned. Pets will be walked first thing in the morning before work and then again after work, or whatever is required for each individual. It's important and animal is stimulated and gets exercise if they are able. I have a small grass back garden that is fenced off for fresh air and toilet needs, there is a park 2 minutes form my house for walks etc. I don't currently have any pets at home

She was very accommodating with our last minute booking, kept us informed of how she settled in, provided lots of photos throughout her stay and looked after our dog as if it were her own (including nice long walks) We couldn’t have asked for anything else and would strongly recommend her to anyone looking for a lovely family to look after their treasured dog.”

About: I’ve spent my life in a home where there was always a dog or cat around, and I honestly can’t imagine it any other way. For me, pet care is just about making sure your animals feel comfortable and loved while you’re away. I’ve had two Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, but I am more than happy to walk and care for any breed of dog, big or small. I also have plenty of experience with moggies and am equally open to looking after cats of all kinds. I’ve learned over the years that every animal is different, and I’m happy to follow their lead-whether they want to be active and play or just be left to nap in peace. I’m a local here in Mansfield and mostly just want to provide the kind of reliable care I’d want for my own pets. I’ll make sure they stay in their routine, keep everything clean, and send you a quick photo so you know they’re doing fine. Since I work a hybrid schedule, I have a lot of flexibility during the week. I can easily pop in for morning or evening drop-in visits to make sure your cats or dogs are fed and settled according to their usual routine. On the weekends, I’m available for dog walks at any time that suits you. I’m happy to work around your pet’s specific schedule so their day stays as normal as possible while you’re away. I know it’s a big deal to trust someone with your home and your pets, so I make safety my top priority. When I’m dropping in, I’m careful about more than just the pet; I always double-check that doors are locked, alarms are set, and windows are secure before I leave. I grew up in a household where the pets were part of the family, so I’m naturally mindful of things like keeping 'human food' out of reach and making sure gates are properly latched. I’ll always treat your home with total respect, keep everything tidy, and stick strictly to the security routines you have in place so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away.
About: I have had dogs and other pets in the family for 11 years now. Currently have 2 dogs of my own who are both now 2 and had them since they were 8 weeks old. I am about to go on maternity leave so will have plenty of time to walk your dogs! ☺️ I am happy to travel within reason. I have a spacious fenced off garden so plenty of room for your dogs to run should they need to come here and 2 friendly dogs of my own!
“Tom met Barley for the first time today. We were a little anxious as Barley is an energetic, young cockapoo who has never been walked by anyone other than ourselves. Tom arrived early. Discussed Barley’s needs and then took him on an amazing walk. Tom was professional, polite and showed a natural rapport with dogs. Barley returned happy and tired. We have no hesitation in recommending Tom and hope in the near future to book boarding with him. Many thanks Tom.”
“Ben is lovely, very accomodating and communicative and sends lots of lovely pictures and videos. Alfie obviously has a wonderful time on his walks and has everything he needs during his walks.”

I’m confident handling dogs of all sizes and personalities and always take the time to understand each dog’s routine, behaviour and needs. Walks are carried out safely using secure leads and suitable walking routes, with plenty of exercise, attention and fresh water. At home, dogs have space to relax and settle wherever they feel comfortable. My partner works from home, so there is almost always someone in the house, meaning dogs are rarely left alone. I also have a friendly dog at home who is used to being around other dogs. In addition, I have a young child who has grown up around animals and is very gentle with them, so I do ask that any dogs staying with us are friendly and comfortable around children. I’m always happy to arrange a meet and greet before a booking so both you and your dog can feel completely comfortable and confident they’re in safe hands.
About: I have babysat dogs since I was 13 it is my dream job and I hope to make a business one day, I love animals and It makes me so happy and gives me joy in the life doing something I love with the best and most loving animals. I do love my walks too I go very far in some beautiful places and atmospheres I love to give dogs the lovely experience on or off the lead. I also am a freelance photographer on the side of babysitting animals and serving pints, so if you ever want any photos, free of charge let me know and I will take some beautiful photos of your pets, if not that is totally fine, just an extra free service on the side for my portfolio and you can get some free lovely photos of your pets. Babysitting cats does fit really well into my schedule since I do work at a pub too but I do babysitting on the side so I don’t do as many shifts anymore. If you have a cat that is independent that doesn’t like interacting that is lovely and if you have one that loves cuddles and some love that is also perfect so either way I will always make time for them even if I’m at work. I care for pets in anyway the owner wants me to, I follow the rules and requirements any owner has, some cats like to be left alone and not interact and if I that’s the case I will give them the space they need but also try and make them comfortable around me. If a cat wants a lot of attention I will reciprocate that back to them and give them as much love as I can, I will spend time with them and make sure they get fed and they are taken care of as many times as the owner requires me to do.
“Paul was excellent - met him on the Sunday which was the day before we needed a dog walker and he came over to our house chatted and met Winnie to make sure she was happy. Had 2 walks with him last week and he confirmed both times how good she was and how well behaved she was which was a relief! Will definitely be using Paul again! Thank you for looking after her!”
About: Welcome — my name is Molly, and I run this pet care service personally. I have experience caring for a wide range of animals, including dogs, cats, ferrets, and fish. Every pet is treated as an individual, and I always follow their established routines, from feeding schedules to exercise and specific care needs. I offer consistent rates for all pets, regardless of size. Please feel free to get in touch for further details — I look forward to caring for your pet. I am available most days and am flexible for a range of services. I always put your pets needs first and prioritise their routine to fit into mine. Care for your pets all depends on the services you require. I will always focus on your needs and change activities based on whatever your pets energy levels are.
About: What sets me apart is my understanding of animal psychology. I can read the body language of both cats and dogs, adjusting my care to their individual needs. Whether your cat is shy, playful, or your dog requires special attention, I tailor my approach to create a calm and safe environment where your pets feel comfortable while you're away I’m available all weekend, so I’d be happy to take care of them during that time but if someone really needs me I am available during the week as well. I prioritize your pet's safety, trust, and comfort by maintaining a secure and familiar environment in your home. I follow any specific instructions you provide to ensure your pet feels at ease. I ensure their space is clean, safe, and stimulating, and I make sure to maintain routines they’re used to. Whether it’s feeding, playing, or simply keeping them company, I provide the same level of care and attention as if they were my own.
About: I've taken care of many pets over the years and have loved every minute. As I've been able to get to know so many different personalities that come with all pets, I've learnt some tricks and games to play to keep them entertained and happy. I've cared for many different breeds and ages of dogs, including older ones that required medication and extra care. I've also had experience with puppies who need that extra little bit of attention and help with training. I'm currently working from home so I'll have plenty of time to give your pet's special attention whilst you're away. My schedule is flexible so walks and special requirements can easily be fit in to my day or week. I always want to leave a home I've stayed in as clean as possible so owners can come back and instantly relax (I hate the stress that comes from cleaning after travelling home too). When a pet is at home, they tend to be relaxed and comfortable, so my main priority is keeping it that way and keeping things clean and organised, so there are as little disruptions to their environment or routine as possible. This service requires a level of trust that I always want to keep at the highest level as it can be daunting to leave your pet or home with a stranger. But I hope to gain your trust with the assurance that I respect your space and your pets and want the best outcome for us both.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs almost my whole life, I started when I was younger just walking our family dog.Then family and friends would contact me to look after there dog during the day and or taking their dogs on walks I currently work at primary school before and after school clubs so I am available throughout the days during 9am-3pm Monday - Friday. I am also available some weekends but would need to know in advance. I do have my own dog at home and he loves playing in the garden with his ball annd his toys and being walked to the park.
About: I’ve had dogs since I was a child. Looked after the tiniest breeds to gentle giants. Dogs make me so happy, I love dog cuddles! I’ve looked after puppies, golden oldies, and large groups of dogs. I love teaching dogs new tricks, going for nice walks and cuddling on the sofa to watch films. I’m currently working part time and am looking to dedicate the rest of my time to looking after dogs! I have a decent sized garden which backs onto a park. I live with my boyfriend and we both love dogs. My step daughters are often here at the weekend so any dogs coming to stay need to be safe around children. I’m very easy-going and laid back. Happy to follow your instructions in your home, but equally more than able to use my own initiative. I love playing with pups and being out about, also love sitting in nice cafes and parks.
About: I've lived with dogs for the majority of my lifetime. I grey up with a collie and a whippet cross, and my wild rabbit Rosie. As soon as I settled down and got a house and got married, we've had dogs, rabbits, hamsters, rats and even ran a guinea pig rescue for 5 years. I currently have 4 rescue dogs, an ex racing greyhound, 2 Romanian Street dogs and a staffycross. I am used to administering medication, and owning both nervous and reactive dogs. I have had my fair share of different dog sitters, I've found brilliant ones who stopped doing the job or I moved from the area and was out their area covered. I've had some poor ones who didn't listen to us, those who lied or left my dogs alone for hours and hours. You can rest assured whatever I say I will do, I will. I will listen to you and I won't make any guesses. Generally I will only offer a maximum of 3 nights to a sit, however, if you need more than this, always feel free to message me and discuss. I work from home and can work anywhere with WiFi, so I will be home during the day and at night, unless I need to pop home to see to my own dogs, I would aways make you aware of this before you book with me. I currently work full time Monday to Friday. I can work anywhere there is wi fi and a quiet space to sit and work from. I am looking to offer pet sitting from your home. I cannot currently commit to more than 3 night stays, but I am always open to requests and if I am free and able, I will help with slightly longer stays. I am happy to listen to you and do what you need. I can offer pet sitting from my home, but this could only be for small animals.

About: Hi, I'm Emma! I'm a fully licensed and insured pet carer with a Level 3 Diploma in Canine Care & Management, as well as Pet First Aid certification. Caring for animals has always been my passion. I grew up on my family's farm, where I helped hand-rear lambs, calves, and foals. From there, I went on to work with horses, greyhounds, and hunting hounds, giving me experience with animals of all ages, breeds, and temperaments. I started my pet care business because I struggled to find someone I truly trusted to look after my beloved pug, Teddy. That experience inspired me to create the kind of service I was looking for myself—a safe, loving, home-from-home environment where every pet is treated like one of the family. Whether your dog loves long walks, cuddles on the sofa, or simply having company throughout the day, I'll make sure they receive the care, attention, and affection they deserve. My priority is ensuring both you and your pet feel completely comfortable and confident while you're apart. Pet care at In The Doghouse is around the clock! Our bed is your bed, your pets needs is my priority, they're not just your family they're mine too. I have a fully secure good sized garden with plenty of toys. Double locked gate, with CCTV. Dog cam is also used inside the home.
About: Here’s what I can offer: 🐾Home visits & house sitting 🐾Dog walking & playtime 🐾Feeding & fresh water 🐾Medication administration (oral & injectable) 🐾Regular photo and message updates 🐾Loads of cuddles Your pet’s happiness and well-being are always my top priority! As a final-year Veterinary Nursing student, I do a lot of my university work from home, so I really enjoy the company of pets throughout the day. I only attend classes two days a week and have large gaps in my schedule, which gives me plenty of time to provide care and attention. During holidays and study breaks, I’m even more flexible, making pet care a natural and fulfilling part of my routine. I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort by tailoring each visit to the pet’s usual routine and personality. I offer house sitting in the pet owner’s home, which helps reduce stress and anxiety, especially for more nervous pets. I also provide free pop-in visits before the booking to help anxious dogs feel more at ease. With my veterinary training, I confidently manage pets with medical needs, including oral and injectable medications. I always maintain a clean, secure environment and provide regular updates so owners feel reassured while away.
About: Fully insured, DBS-checked, certified, professional dog trainer and with over 20 years’ experience, I’m Darren — owner of Molly & Friends Pet Care Services in Hucknall. I offer a trusted, home-from-home environment where every dog is welcomed as part of the family. I live in a spacious, dog-friendly home with my gentle Labrador, Molly. Visiting dogs enjoy individual attention, plenty of affection, and a peaceful, relaxed atmosphere tailored to their personality and routine. Whether your dog prefers long woodland adventures, fun social play, or a quiet day indoors, I customise each stay and walk to their needs. I regularly explore Bestwood Country Park, Mill lakes, Blidworth woods and other nearby woodland trails, perfect for dogs who love fresh air and adventure. From daily walks to comfortable overnight stays, your dog’s safety, happiness, and routine always come first. Routines are tailored to every individual dog's need. We are a calm, pet-loving household with additional DBS-checked adults at home, which means visiting dogs always have someone nearby to help them feel secure and settled. Mornings begin with a full one-hour woodland walk through Blidworth or Samson Woods, where dogs can stretch their legs, enjoy off-lead time (where safe), and take in the sights and scents of nature. (Or longer if required. Shorter walks are also offered for those who prefer). In the afternoons, we head to Bestwood Country Park and Mill Lakes for another hour-long walk, ensuring plenty of variety and stimulation throughout the day. (Again, able to adapt to each dog's needs as we want to match your routine as closely as possible). Back at home, dogs enjoy supervised garden playtime in our secure, spacious garden, with areas for games, rest, and relaxation. As well as offering shorter walks for dogs who prefer a gentler pace, I am able to give individual walks for those who are more comfortable without canine company. Being a dog trainer too, I can help with lead training and canine eticacy when out on walks as part of the service (no extra fee). I’m very adaptable and always happy to tailor feeding and exercise routines around each dog’s individual needs, keeping their day as close to their home routine as possible. Our family home provides a calm, welcoming environment with plenty of space for dogs to settle comfortably — whether that’s relaxing after a long walk or curling up for a nap. Every dog in my care is treated as part of the family, with their safety, comfort, and happiness at the heart of everything I do. Providing professional, full-time dog care isn’t just what I do — it’s what I’m passionate about. Every aspect of my home and routine has been designed with dogs’ safety, comfort, and wellbeing in mind. I’m fully insured, DBS checked, and operate this as my full-time profession, giving owners complete confidence that their dogs are cared for to the highest standards at all times. Dogs are never left alone, I provide 24/7 supervision whilst in my care so your dog always has someone with them and I maintain clear routines to ensure each one feels secure, calm, and happy during their stay. My partner also works from home as well as my adult son, both dbs checked also and animal lovers. They're able to answer the door etc so that my full attention is with the dogs I care for. Our large, family home offers a safe, relaxed, and spacious environment where dogs can rest comfortably between walks. The property has a fully enclosed spacious garden with a dedicated dog toilet area and artificial grass on the flat — perfect for playtime and fresh air in all weather, without muddy paws. Every dog is supervised, and I take time to get to know their individual personalities, preferences, and routines. Whether a dog needs quiet space, structured play, or extra reassurance, I adapt the environment to suit them. My gentle Labrador, Molly, also helps new dogs settle in, creating a calm, friendly atmosphere where every dog feels part of the family. At Molly and Friends, safety, trust, and genuine care are at the heart of everything I do — offering a professional, home-from-home experience where your dog’s wellbeing always comes first.

“I was apprehensive about leaving Bertha with anyone apart from family, we found helen and so glad we did! Bertha was cared for and looked after like their own, I received plenty of updates and photos whilst away that helped to put my mind at ease. Helen is great and I will definitely be booking again for next time!”
“Rachel was fantastic with our girl who has seperation anxiety / some reactivity to other dogs. Rachel was very attentive to Luna’s needs, made sure she felt right at home, and sent us lovely pictures of their walk and time together throughout the booking. Would definitely recommend!”
“Chester enjoyed his time with Lone and her young family . I would fully recommend Lone to look after my puppy again in the future. Chester was not stressed or anxious on collection. In fact he was still happy to be there once I came to collect him. Thank you Lone it was a big help today see you soon 😀”
“First time using Jade and I’ll definitely use Jade again! She made sure to keep me updated with how Winnie was getting on and send me loads of photos which made my heart melt, Winnie had the bestest day to the point where she didn’t even want to get back in the car! Jade looks after your pup like she’s her own and it’s amazing to have that when it’s needed!”
“Grainne took really good care of George at late notice when I had to be called out of town for work. It was during a heatwave and George was kept cool and stimulated with Oscar! He has been sleepjnf like a log since he has come home.”
“Jasper would have gone to my daughter's wedding and created havoc no doubt if the venue had allowed it - but they didn't, so the next best thing was a protest vote and go one better - a night in with Patrycja and her partner watching Netflix. And he got so much more than he bargained for. Lots of attention (what self respecting velcro dog wouldn't love that?), a new BFF as she had another furry friend staying over, and lots of walks with photos to dad thrown in. Honestly Patrycja, he couldn't have asked for a better experience. Thank you for looking after him and a loving lick from a very tired Jasper.”
“Ben went above and beyond with our little Reggie, this was the first time we had to booked a sitter, so I was very nervous, but Ben, was contacting me and sending lovely messages and updates and photos of Reggie through the entire week we was away on our holiday, which i so appreciated from him, it made me feel at ease and I knew Reggie was being cared for and in safe hands with Ben, and in the extremely high weather temperatures we was having at the time, having a frenchie you can appreciate it is very hard due to Reggie’s breed, but yet again Ben took care of it and made sure Reggie was safe and comfortable, Which once again was down to Ben. From the moment I saw Ben as we introduced ourselves and with his own dog Noah, I knew Ben was the person for us. I want to thank Ben again personally and to Noah for making Reggie’s stay so welcome for him, and definitely will be having Ben again for Reggie’s stay in future, many thank Ben ☺️”
“Highly recommended, will be booking with sabina again. She is very experienced with caring for dogs/animals and even provided some training for my dog whilst caring for her. Tallulah was very happy and comfortable staying with Sabina & her lovely family.”
“Never met Pete but Hayley was great. She communicated everything we needed to do and the checks she did with us made us feel like she really cared about our dog. The dog came back with no issues and spent the day sleeping so he was more than happy.”
“Chloe looked after Sky for a couple of days and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. She was incredibly attentive to Sky’s needs and made sure she felt comfortable and settled from the start. We really appreciated the regular updates and photos. Sky looked so happy and relaxed the entire time. Sky is a sensitive soul, and it’s clear Chloe has a natural way with dogs. We were genuinely 110% happy and wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommend!”
“The service Paulina provided was fantastic. She was very friendly and our dog felt very comfortable and safe with her. She sent lots of videos and constant updates about our dogs wellbeing. Would definitely recommend.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, so caring for animals has always been a huge part of my day-to-day life. I currently have a young greyhound puppy of my own, which has given me plenty of recent hands-on experience with puppy care, including toilet training, lead walking, building confidence, establishing routines and positive reinforcement. My family dog is now a senior, so I also have experience caring for older dogs and understand that they can require a gentler pace, extra patience and care tailored to their individual needs. I’m also a cat owner to my 3-year-old cat, Spot, who I’ve had since he was a kitten. This has given me experience with both kitten and adult cat care, so I’m very comfortable looking after both dogs and cats. Having pets of my own means I completely understand how important it is to trust the person caring for them. I’m patient, reliable and attentive, and I’ll always treat someone else’s pet as I would my own. I’m happy to follow their usual routines, accommodate individual needs and make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection and reassurance while in my care. Pet care already plays a big part in my everyday routine as I have pets of my own, so fitting walks, drop-ins and pet sitting into my week comes very naturally. I’m organised and flexible with my time and will always make sure I have plenty of time for each pet, rather than rushing visits. I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual feeding, walking and toilet routine wherever possible, as I know how important consistency can be for keeping them happy and settled. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my priority. When caring for pets in their own home, I’ll follow your instructions closely and respect their existing routine, environment and boundaries. I’ll take the time to get to know their personality and allow nervous or shy pets to approach me at their own pace. On walks, I’ll keep dogs securely on lead unless specifically agreed otherwise and pay close attention to their behaviour, surroundings and interactions with other dogs. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy and receiving plenty of attention and affection while they’re with me. 🐾
“Rachel was absolutely amazing! Her gentle nature with Rufus made it obvious that she treats your pets like her own family members. She shared plenty of photos and videos and is a great communicator. I would definitely recommend her, and we will absolutely be back. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of Rufus he had a great time! x”
“This was the first time we have used dog boarding. I was slightly nervous at first as we had a 5 month old Labrador. From our first meeting I felt reassured. Sylvia was professional, welcoming and you could tell she was a real love for dogs. During our trip she sent pictures and let us know that he had settled well. 5 stars isn’t enough we truly are really happy with the care Dexter received and wouldn’t hesitate to use Sylvia in the future.”
About: Your dog will be apart of our loving family with lots of cuddles, playtime, walks & treats (if aloud by owner) When we look after your beloved dog we will ensure their needs are put first. Unfortunately, we lost our bulldog Bonnie recently and this has given us the passion and desire to look after other peoples dogs. We always found this difficult and a challenge knowing who to trust with Bonnie and my goal is to help others feel at ease. We as a family have experience being around a variety of breeds including young & old dogs. I currently work full-time in the community, however I work from home majority of the working week. Also, if I am not home my mum is at home as she only works part-time. At the weekends everybody in the house is home. Your dog will not be on their own longer than a couple of hours at a time. I have a private secure back garden where dogs will have access to safely and securely. I will care for your dog as if they were my own. I am honest, trustworthy and have a genuine love & care for animals especially dogs!
