About: Hi, I’m Nicole. I have 8 years of experience as a military dog handler, working with dogs in structured, high responsibility environments. I’m confident handling dogs of different sizes, temperaments, energy levels, and training needs. I understand canine body language, safe leash handling, routine, discipline, and the importance of calm, consistent care. Whether your dog needs a relaxed walk, structured exercise, drop-in care, or overnight sitting, I’ll treat them with patience, professionalism, and respect. I’m especially comfortable with working breeds, high energy dogs, dogs that need firm but kind handling, and owners who want clear updates while they’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine, and I make reliability a priority for every booking. I have 8 years of experience as a military dog handler, so I’m accustomed to maintaining consistent schedules and routines for dogs in my care. Whether it’s regular walks, drop-in visits, or overnight stays, I work closely with owners to ensure their dog’s exercise, feeding, and training routines are maintained. I provide regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind while they’re away. Safety and welfare are my top priorities. I have extensive experience working with dogs of different breeds, sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. I’m confident reading canine body language, managing dogs safely on walks, and adapting my approach to each individual dog’s needs. I always follow the owner’s instructions regarding feeding, exercise, medications, and house rules. I am experienced in reinforcing existing training and maintaining routines to help dogs feel comfortable and secure. Whether caring for pets in their own home or out on walks, I focus on providing calm, structured, and professional care while treating every dog as if they were my own
“Shelby and her partner were incredible with Ava! Gave us plenty of updates and Ava was so relaxed and happy with them. Will definitely book again when we next need a dog sitter. Thanks guys.”
“Frankie loved his stay with kris! He really enjoyed playing and his walks. He was so well taken care of and you can see that by him come back absolutely shattered. We will definitely be back again! Thankyou so much”
“Simone took excellent care of my high energy 13-month-old working line German Shepherd Storm while we were away, Storm has lead reactivity and separation anxiety but Simone handled him perfectly, even when he barked initially Simone handled it with perfect calm confidence and made him feel safe and settled. She took him for plenty of walks and kept him cool in the heat, we came back to a well taken care of comfortable happy puppy, I can’t recommend Simone enough, we will certainly be booking her again in the future! Thank you so much Simone! 😊”
“My dog returned very happy and calm after being with Sue for the week. He had a fantastic time and Sue kept me updated with messages, I couldn’t ask for a better sitter. Will definitely use Sue in future.”
About: I have over 5 years of experience caring for dogs and am a huge dog lover. I’ve regularly looked after dogs for friends and family, including my friend’s dog and my auntie’s dog, who I care for quite often. Through this experience, I’ve become confident handling dogs of all different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I absolutely love spending time with dogs and enjoy taking them on walks, playing with them, cuddles and making sure they feel happy. Whether it’s a long walk, some company during the day, or lots of attention and affection, I treat every dog as if they were my own I work from home full time so happy to care and be around for your dogs with my flexible schedule🐶 I have the time to pop over, go on walks or a have your dog for a sleepover most days 🐾 I live in a detached house with a good sized fenced garden! It is 3 storey so there is stairs to consider if your dog likes to sleep upstairs, but plenty of rooms and space if your dog likes sleeping elsewhere. I live near lots of walking trails, fields, woods, and swimming spots! I don’t have any other pets and live with my boyfriend who also absolutely loves dogs too.
About: I have grown up with animals all my life! Mainly dogs but a lot more smaller animals too🤍 I currently have 2 of my own German shepherds which are my babies and love other doggies being around too. I work from home which means your dog will have a home away from home with us 🫶🏼 I work from home most days mainly Thursday Friday but I work flexible days! I look after family pets and they fit into mine and our dogs schedules with no issues 🤍 We have a fenced Garden which is big enough for 4 dogs and is cleaned daily! We also live in a new estate so it’s very quiet which means the dogs are never stressed with noise other than themselves 🐶 - if I am in your home I will treat it exactly how you wish and make sure your pet is happy !
“Antonia was absolutely brilliant from start to finish! I booked with her at very short notice and dropped by dog off without a meet and greet (my choice) but my dog settled straight away. I received pictures and updates throughout the weekend and picked a happy doggy up! I was also a few hours later than anticipated but Antonia was very understanding. Thanks so much Antonia, I highly recommend you :)”
“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.”
“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 😀”
“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”

About: I have grown up with cats and English pointers since I was a child. I have two cats of my own. I have cared for friends and family pets at their houses or at my own in many occasions and want to be able to do this more regularly due to my love of animals! It’s hard to be away from pets, and I know this first hand leaving my cats for holidays so regular updates and pictures are of course a given. Dogs who cannot be left free roam, crates will need to be provided by owners which must be big enough for pets to be left in meaning they can stand, turn and lay down on their side comfortably.

Your dog will mostly be with me during the day in my office room whilst I work. I have a large fenced garden which is great for dogs to run around in and I am able to have crate trained dogs, non crate trained providing they aren’t chewers as although I work from home I do regular go out for short periods. I will require a meet up prior to any new bookings and suggest the dog if left for a couple of hours with me to make sure they are happy as well as myself.

“Meghan was amazing! She looked after our little furball and was absolutely brilliant. Very punctual and took such good care of our cat Leo, very profesional but also really down to earth. Would recommend to anyone and we would go back to her again and again.”
“Julie was incredible with our Shadow! Super friendly and considerate. She kept us updated loads, sending us pictures and texts about what he's been up to and how much he's been eating. Shadow was very happy and relaxed around Julie. Would definitely recommend and use again! ”
“Alyssa took such good care of my two cats while I was away for 3 weeks, she was amazing and I thoroughly recommend her services! One of my boys is extremely sensitive, he needs daily medication and monitoring for urinary issues caused by stress. He really struggles with small changes in his routine and surroundings. Alyssa ensured he had his medication every day by taking his food to him when he hid away, and supported his health by providing clean litter boxes. She followed all my instructions and went above and beyond what I'd asked her to do. She even let me know when the carbon monoxide alarm started beeping - she heard the noise, researched what it was and what was causing it, so my landlord was able to visit and change batteries before I returned. She let me know the food was running low so that I had enough time to order more. By the end of the trip, even my shy boy had come out of his shell and was greeting Alyssa for food and cuddles. Thank you so much Alyssa 💕”
“I am incredibly anxious about leaving my cats but Alex sends me updates and videos of the girls which is great. Even got my (I don't like other people) cat - Mya to let him have a good fuss of her which is shows amazing development for Mya. When we come back both cats are happy, water bowls are full and cat litters are clean. ”

“Kristal and Lewis were great! I met with Kris prior to the booking and you can tell right off the bat that she has a true passion and love for animals! They followed my very lengthy list of instructions down to a T, I was worried about leaving my girls for the first time but with the check-ins and reports after every visit along with pictures, I was quickly put at ease! Communication was great and I can't thank them enough for looking after my babies 😊”

“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. 😊”

When caring for pets in a pet owner's home, I prioritize the comfort and well-being of each animal. I ensure that they maintain their regular routines, including feeding schedules, exercise, and playtime. I provide plenty of affection and companionship to keep them happy and relaxed in their familiar environment. I also adhere to any specific instructions provided by the owner, such as administering medication or following dietary restrictions. Additionally, I monitor the pets' health and behavior closely, notifying the owner immediately if any issues arise. I respect the owner's home, keeping it clean and secure, and ensuring the pets feel safe and loved throughout their stay.

About: I have many years experience caring for my own pets and for family and friends, including feeding, walking, and making sure they feel comfortable and settled while their owners are away. As a young child I was taught how to care for our family pets, from cats, guinee pigs, hamsters and goldfish, dogs came later into my life when I became a young adult. I understand how important routine is for animals, and I always take the time to get to know their individual needs and personalities. When it comes to home care, I’m tidy, trustworthy, and conscientious. I treat every home with respect, keeping it clean, secure, and well looked after. Whether it’s watering plants, keeping things organised, or simply ensuring everything runs smoothly, I take pride in doing things properly. Above all, I genuinely enjoy helping others and providing peace of mind, knowing that both pets and homes are in safe hands. At the moment, I work from home four days a week, which suits me perfectly as it allows me to care for my dog and look after any others when needed. This arrangement gives me the flexibility to manage my responsibilities comfortably and ensures the pets receive plenty of attention throughout the day. During the weekends, I have increased availability to care for your beloved pets, should you need it. My days are dedicated to discovering fresh walking routes and exploring new destinations, all tailored to provide plenty of stimulation and adventure for those curious noses eager to experience new scents and surroundings. I have a fenced secure garden which is pet friendly just like my home, creating a safe, trusting, and comfortable environment is always my top priority. I take time to get to know each pet’s routine, likes, and dislikes to help them feel right at home. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or just some quiet company, I always make sure their wellbeing comes first. I pay close attention to any instructions or special needs, and I’m happy to adapt my approach depending on the service you need. If you have any questions or specific requests, please let me know—your pet’s safety and happiness are at the heart of everything I do!
“Winnie had a great time with Ione and her family. Ione is attentive and experienced and knew exactly how to take care of an excitable pup like Winnie. I got regular updates and plenty of pics and vids. The children and Buddy were also very sweet and loving towards Winnie, and I’m glad she had a big brother for the day. We would gladly have Ione sit Winnie again in the future and definitely recommend her as a sitter!”

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 to medium dogs due to having a little chihuahua who finds large 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 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 (45 to 60 minutes) 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 and I have done doggy first aid. 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 days), and my husband works from home sometimes and does short days, so our dogs (and yours) will seldom be left alone, and never for very long. We walk them 2 to 3 times a day in a range of locations to keep it fun! 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: Im Highly Experienced in large breeds though specialising in German Shepherds & Siberian Huskies. First aid trained Access to large garden with toys Three loving huskies to play/socialise with amazing temperament to both Males & females. I always do a pre meet up at mine before taking on any sitting request. I work from home so have plenty of time to socialise and walk any dog in my care. Will always have access to the garden and forest walks around my area. I have a 7ft secure fenced garden protecting any dog from escaping. Crates if a dog needs any time to themselves for peace away from other dogs here.
About: I have been a pet owner since I remeber as my family always had many pets. I have experience with puppy and dog training, looking after a senior animal and can look after all types of pets. I am currently an owner of two gorgeous huskies, mine coon cat, corn snake, fancy mice and betta fish. I live in a very spacious detached house with garden so all pets have their own place. I have previously been an owner of German shepherds, hamsters, dwarf rabbit, guinea pig, chinchilla and parrot. I have also looked after my mums yorkies and my sister cats often. If you also love animals as much as I do and wish for your pet to have amazing time while you're away, just reach out! Any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. I work full time from home only, so your pet will be well looked after. I am also willing to travel to collect your pet for a stay. I have a detached house with private garden. My dogs are very well trained and they love company. I have a large indoor cat as well. If your pet (dog or cat) also likes company they will have loads of fun. If your dog or cat does not tolerate other pets, that won't be a problem at all as I will be able to provide them a separate room. All caged pets are kept away from dogs or cat to assure they are safe and stress free.
“Peggy had a lovely afternoon with Meisha and was very well looked after, with lots of activities and cuddles to keep her happy. The house and garden are 100% dog friendly and safe and I have no hesitation in recommending Meisha. Peggy will be staying again very soon.”
About: Hi, I’m Aurora! I’ve always adored animals, and those around me often refer to me as the cat or dog whisperer. I can often get animals that are usually shy/anxious to warm up to me pretty well. This may be because I’ve always been around animals and have a shy/timid temperament myself! 🫣 I grew up with 2 labradors, Molly and Maggie, who were my best friends. Since I was old enough to help with their care I have been looking after animals. I had another dog later on before I moved over to the UK (from the US) and I now have 4 cats (They wouldn’t dare let me have a dog now & I wouldn’t have space anyway 😂) I have looked after dogs occasionally for friends and through another app, and I’m very eager to spend some time with more puppers! I’m confident in walking dogs, though I may struggle with large dogs that pull as I’m quite petite. I have experience walking dogs who are dog reactive as well as looking after anxious dogs. Having had up to 8 cats (& owning 6 for many years before the oldest 2 sadly passed away) means I’m somewhat of an expert at feeding times! I’m capable of administering any oral medications required, I have experience of this with both cats & dogs. I can bathe dogs or do other grooming bits (I have long haired cats & I’m able to bathe them 😆😬) and I’m happy to take on any specific requirements you may have for your dog! I’m also happy to look after other animals - and even plants 🌱 I will take notes on your care requirements when we meet and will be sure to look after your pets to the best of my ability and hopefully as close as possible to the way you would care for them 😊 I have a pretty open schedule as I have Cystic Fibrosis so I am on full time disability and therefore can be around 24/7 if required. My health has improved a bit recently so this won’t affect my ability to care for your pets, and I could really do with some dog walking to get me out of the house! I will care for your pets as I would my own. I am happy to stick to any routines or requirements which you may have. I understand being anxious to leave your pets & will provide as many updates as you’d like! (I can sometimes send too many photos, so please communicate your preferences to me 😊)
“What can I say about Nico and Tom? They are so warm and welcoming I felt right at ease from the get go leaving my puppy Ozzy. Ozzy has been with them two days for day care and I can already tell it's his home from home. He clearly loves everyone and all the love and attention, and absolutely dotes on Marley! ❤️🐶 I knew straight away that he was in great hands, he's getting all the fuss and walks he needs and Tom and Nico are continuing with all his training which is great! I can go to work knowing he will be happy and love the updates and pictures through the day ❤️”
“Thanks for looking after Jasper for the day. He’s somewhat of a neurotic spaniel but seemed to settle straight away and was very calm (for his standards) when we came to pick him up. Thanks again.”

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.
“Katherin was so wonderful with Charlie. Great in taking instructions regarding Charlie and happy to accommodate. I am booking her services next week and would definitely recommend.”
About: Hi, I’m Aurora! I’ve always adored animals, and those around me often refer to me as the cat or dog whisperer. I can often get animals that are usually shy/anxious to warm up to me pretty well. This may be because I’ve always been around animals and have a shy/timid temperament myself! 🫣 I grew up with 2 labradors, Molly and Maggie, who were my best friends. Since I was old enough to help with their care I have been looking after animals. I had another dog later on before I moved over to the UK (from the US) and I now have 4 cats (They wouldn’t dare let me have a dog now & I wouldn’t have space anyway 😂) I have looked after dogs occasionally for friends and through another app, and I’m very eager to spend some time with more puppers! I’m confident in walking dogs, though I may struggle with large dogs that pull as I’m quite petite. I have experience walking dogs who are dog reactive as well as looking after anxious dogs. Having had up to 8 cats (& owning 6 for many years before the oldest 2 sadly passed away) means I’m somewhat of an expert at feeding times! I’m capable of administering any oral medications required, I have experience of this with both cats & dogs. I can bathe dogs or do other grooming bits (I have long haired cats & I’m able to bathe them 😆😬) and I’m happy to take on any specific requirements you may have for your dog! I’m also happy to look after other animals - and even plants 🌱 I will take notes on your care requirements when we meet and will be sure to look after your pets to the best of my ability and hopefully as close as possible to the way you would care for them 😊 I have a pretty open schedule as I have Cystic Fibrosis so I am on full time disability and therefore can be around 24/7 if required. My health has improved a bit recently so this won’t affect my ability to care for your pets, and I could really do with some dog walking to get me out of the house! I will care for your pets as I would my own. I am happy to stick to any routines or requirements which you may have. I understand being anxious to leave your pets & will provide as many updates as you’d like! (I can sometimes send too many photos, so please communicate your preferences to me 😊)
“Robert took kringle out for 2 days this week, in the lead up Robert came round to meet kringle prior to the walk. During the visits Kringle warmed to Robert very quickly and seemed very much at ease with him. Kringle enjoyed his walks with Robert and Robert sent plenty of vids and pics during the visits. Throughout the whole time Robert was very responsive in communication and I would definitely recommend him”

I have just returned home from travelling Australia, when I was staying in Australia I completed several dog sits, which I received incredible feedback. During these dog sits my duties included feeding, walking and playtime. I have been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. I love hanging out with pets and walking dogs. I have also had loads of pets over the years from dogs, rabbits, to hamsters and super happy to look after any other pets.

When caring for pets in a pet owner's home, I prioritize the comfort and well-being of each animal. I ensure that they maintain their regular routines, including feeding schedules, exercise, and playtime. I provide plenty of affection and companionship to keep them happy and relaxed in their familiar environment. I also adhere to any specific instructions provided by the owner, such as administering medication or following dietary restrictions. Additionally, I monitor the pets' health and behavior closely, notifying the owner immediately if any issues arise. I respect the owner's home, keeping it clean and secure, and ensuring the pets feel safe and loved throughout their stay.
“Huge thanks to Ellie & Ben. Couldn't be happier with the way they look after Diego. He looks forward to seeing them & really enjoys his walks. We have no hesitation in recommending them. We also will have no hesitation in using Ellie & Ben for daycare & longer stays if possible. 10 out of 10 all round.”
About: I understand how much joy dogs can bring into our lives. It's amazing how, after having cats since childhood, getting a dog in adulthood can make you wonder why you didn't do it sooner. Dogs truly bring happiness and joy! I love all animals, but I love dogs the most. I enjoy training them to be lifelong friends! I am currently unemployed full-time and seeking a job that brings me joy. Taking care of animals would be the perfect job for me, bringing happiness to both me and your pet. I vigilantly monitor the animal, attentively observing its behavior to ensure all its needs are met. I thoroughly enjoy playing with the dog at every opportunity!

“Antonia was absolutely brilliant from start to finish! I booked with her at very short notice and dropped by dog off without a meet and greet (my choice) but my dog settled straight away.

“Sue was great, We had a meet up beforehand and we took the dogs a walk. They liked her straight away. On the day we left them she kept us updated as to how they were settling. And every day we were away she sent a little update. We cannot fault the care she provided. We would definitely use her services again and recommend her to any of our friends.”
“Sarah was excellent with our 7 month old Whippet. We were nervous to leave him with anyone as it’s was his first time away from us but Sarah made us feel at ease. Being a young puppy he is still very demanding but this didn’t phase her at all. She communicated brilliantly throughout and he was well looked after and cared for during his stay. Sarah did everything she could to make him feel at home and even taught him a new trick by the time we collected him! We will definitely use Sarah again and would recommend! ☺️”
“Lucy reassured me that Jasper was doing well. She sent written updates and pictures. He had a great time playing with Lola and Eva (and all of their toys!) and took him out for a good run around. Really happy, thank you :-)”
“Just picked my 2 girls up from a 6 night stay with Luke, not going to lie my anxiety about leaving them was awful, but we did a meet with Luke and his 3 fur babies and they all got on so well, made it a little easier. We dropped the girls off and was updated straight away on how they were. Everyday we got updates, photos and videos, I was able to enjoy my holiday knowing my girls were getting as much love and attention with Luke as they do at home. Will definitely be booking with Luke again 5☆ could have asked for anymore. Thank you Luke from us all”
“Jack had a lovely week with Mick and Jo, it was the first time we'd left him but they put my mind at ease with their friendly approach. We had regular updates and pictures of him playing with his new 4-legged friends and he came home happy and relaxed.”
