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 !
About: Ive taken care and been around dogs my whole life. I have two miniature dachshund’s called Bonnie and Clyde. I am very specific with where I would let my dogs stay/be looked after, so totally understand how much of a big decision finding the right person to look after your dog is. Please feel free to message me any questions :) I currently work from home, so I will be at home all day everyday if you chose to leave your dog/puppy with me. I also walk my dogs every lunch time around the park. Our garden is fenced, enclosed and large- so plenty of safe space for your dog/puppy to run around, they will also be walked at least once a day.
“This is the second weekend my three boys have been with Kristel. They were very happy to be back with her and made themselves straight at home when they got there. Always a great sign. As before, Kristal communicated well with an update and pictures. I will definitely use her again.”
“Antonia cared for our retriever x Loki and took such great care of him. From the moment we dropped him at her home we were kept informed with picture updates and felt completely reassured the whole time. She took him on long walks and he always looked so relaxed and happy. He came home very contented, if not a little sad to be back! We will 100% use Antonia again! Thank you!”

“We have not had a holiday in many years because we have not had anyone to look after our dog. This year we decided to look for some one to care for Sadie in their home. We found Rover and looked at all their sitters, we went to Alison in the first place because she was near to our home.On meeting Alison she put our mind at rest immediately, Sadie took to her straight away and we were able to go on holiday without any concern. Alison sent us a message and a photo everyday. Alison’s fees are not the cheapest on the sight but she is worth every penny for the peace of mind and I hope we will be able to make us of her service in the future, I cannot praise her to much. Gail Blamire.”

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. 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.

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.

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.
“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”

About: Hi I'm Olivia. I am very outgoing and love the outdoors. 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. The servies I offer are house visits, day care, over night stays and pet walks. I am happy to walks any types of dog breeds and sizes. I am happy to meet prior to the service, which allows us to discuss the duties thoroughly. Feel free to contact me if you like to know more about myself. I am always happy to answer any question. Many thanks Olivia As i’ve just returned back to England from Australia I am currently job searching therefore I am available everyday of the week 24 hours a day. 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’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 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!
“I used Isobel to walk my 2 border collies whilst I was on holiday, and she was fab! Communicated well, very willing to work around requests etc, and not phased by taking both girls out together. She sent photos & vids of their outings, & always updated me! She's a lovely young lady & I will certainly use her again, on a more regular basis 🩷🐾”

“This is the second weekend my three boys have been with Kristel. They were very happy to be back with her and made themselves straight at home when they got there. Always a great sign. As before, Kristal communicated well with an update and pictures. I will definitely use her again.”
“Antonia cared for our retriever x Loki and took such great care of him. From the moment we dropped him at her home we were kept informed with picture updates and felt completely reassured the whole time. She took him on long walks and he always looked so relaxed and happy. He came home very contented, if not a little sad to be back! We will 100% use Antonia again! Thank you!”
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 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.
“Shelby and her partner were really attentive with our Daschund, Minnie. Minnie is a really needy dog and suffers from separation anxiety but settled really well with Shelby:) she was really well looked after whilst we were away for the weekend and could relax knowing Minnie was well cared for. highly recommend Shelby to care for your dogs!”
“Robert had Kringle for a weekend stay, Robert was very accommodating for the drop off and pick up times. Robert kept me updated with plenty of videos and Kringle had plenty of walks. Robert cared for Kringle very well over the weekend and I would definitely recommend him.”
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!

“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 😀”
“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.”
“Could not recommend Emily and her partner enough! Kindly accepted our request as we were let down at last minute from our usual sitter and we’re going on holiday in a matter of days. They made Ella feel like part of the family and she has come back absolutely full of life. Emily sent us pictures and updates throughout Ella’s stay and for future holidays will absolutely be using Emily again! Thank you :)”
“We were extremely happy with the dog sitting service that was provided. Luna was happy and safe and we would not hesitate to use them again for dog sitting in the future. Thank you guys!”
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 and have looked after other people's dogs before unofficially for neighbours and family member etc. 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
“Paulina was incredible! My dog is a very big and challenging boy but he was good as gold and Paulina did so well walking him, especially in a heatwave! Cannot recommend her enough, thank you so so much!”
“Larna and Rich were the most incredible dog sitters! Our 2 dogs really enjoyed their stay with them, and the updates and photos they sent confirmed that and reassured us. It was so clear that they were relaxed and happy —and also entertained. We had great communication with Larna while we left our girls with them, which was so appreciated, as we are a little nervous leaving them with other people. Larna and Rich are clearly big dog lovers — but, crucially, they are also relaxed and confident, so it’s a great approach. We couldn’t recommend them enough.”
“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”
