“Ivana kindly looked after our dog Brian for the afternoon yesterday, and she and husband Andrew were just brilliant. Upon meeting Ivana it was obvious that she really loves dogs and Brian was very quickly made to feel at home. Her enthusiasm about the walks they were going to go on left us in no doubt that he was going to be just fine without us. She also understood immediately the quirks of a Jack Russell! When we collected him it was lovely to see how much she'd enjoyed having him there; actively engaging him and trying to anticipate his needs. In summary, we're already planning more cinema visits in Leicester as Ivana is the perfect Brian host!”
“Liga provided the perfect home for our dog, Jack, while we were away for 2 days. He has very specific dietary needs and she was meticulous following them even with other dogs to care for as well. Her communication was stellar and Jack had an amazing time. Would absolutely recommend her as a dog sitter/boarding.”
“Steve and his family were delightful and gave Maimie a lovely ‘home from home’ stay. Steve couldn’t have been more helpful. He gave us confidence from the moment we met him and his lovely dog Laszlo. He was a great communicator and sent through lovely updates and pictures while we were away. Best of all he clearly loves and understands dogs. It’s so great to find someone who is clearly adored by his canine friends! Thanks Steve and family!”
“I could not fault Heather and family. We were looking for a sitter who would treat our two dogs like their own and they absolutely did. We really appreciated the photo updates and the dedication to their care. On Sunday we collected two very happy, tired, well walked dogs. I would absolutely recommend these guys to anyone!”
“Stephanie swooped in to save us when a previous booking fell through just days before our wedding. She not only stepped up and saved us in our hour of need but took care of our boy as if he was her own. He was so well looked after and we got lots of updates including photos. Honestly cant recommend Stephanie enough. Thank you so much.”
“We had a great experience with Maria taking care of our potato, Rupert. She was responsible, communicative, and very loving toward him. It was clear that Rupert felt comfortable and happy with her. Maria gave us great peace of mind while we were away, and we would absolutely trust her again in the future.”
“Such a gem of a boarder, used Abbie for the first time recently and she instantly filled us with confidence. We have a pet whose fairly specific with her needs and Abbie was super accommodating of it all and our dog seemed to be very comfortable with her. We have already rebooked Abbie for an upcoming trip. Highly recommend!”
About: Our family has always had a furry friend by our sides - we know how important it is to spoil and love our four-legged friends. Friends and family have relied on us to nurture their pets and go on adventures with woody. I am a first year PhD student at Loughborough University. My sister (Shanti) is a final year PhD student at Loughborough, and works every Friday in-person at a private school. Our working arrangements ensure there is always someone at home. Please see our calendar for our availability for looking after and playing with your pup 🐶. As Woody is small, our spacious back garden is completely secure with no escape routes! We have multiple dog beds full of exciting toys (for various seasons and celebrations) in almost every room of the house! Woody usually sleeps on someone’s bed, or wherever takes her fancy. Pups are allowed everywhere in our home including furniture and upstairs 🐕.
“Hayley, did a fantastic job looking after our Cocker. She was really thorough, understanding everything about him and his routine. I knew I was leaving him in safe hands. Then when we were away, she sent loads of updates so I knew he was having a good time. Really grateful for the care and I look forward to using Hayley again soon.”
“Julia was absolutely amazing with Safia ❤️ From the very beginning, she was caring, attentive, communicative, and incredibly thoughtful. She kept me updated throughout the stay with detailed messages about walks, food, water, playtime, and how Safia was doing emotionally, which gave me so much peace of mind, and the most thorough report about her day. She even washed and dried Safia’s blanket after a little accident without hesitation, such a kind gesture that truly shows how much she cares! Safia clearly felt comfortable and loved with Julia and her family, and it made me so happy to hear how well she got along with everyone 😊 I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better person. I would trust Julia again without a second thought and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, warm, patient, and genuinely loving with dogs. Thank you again for taking such wonderful care of Safia 🐾”
About: Hi, people call me Remmy! 😊 I have been around dogs and family pets for a long time and have a deep love for all animals. I also own a daschund who is anxious so I understand patience and how to care for smaller dogs. I currently work full time from home on the weekdays, so your dog will have plenty of attention from me! I do not work weekends so fully flexible. I have a fenced garden and live close to fields for dog walks. Winnie loves being around other dogs but she is initally reactive due to her nature (sausage dog problems 😂), it would be great to meet beforehand to get the dogs to meet. I am happy to meet free of charge to see how they get on, I think it's important that you feel your dog is in safe hands before leaving with me.
“Seb was with Milena for a night and most of a second day, Seb absolutely loved it! Milena was very attentive to Seb’s needs and she kept in touch with me throughout the time with updates including pictures. Milena is highly recommended, would not hesitate to book again!”
About: Animals have been my world since I was young, from growing up alongside my grandparents’ dog to caring for my own for 14 beautiful years from age 10. I’ve really come to see them as family — full of love, loyalty, and little moments that make every day better. Growing up in a very animal-loving household taught me patience, responsibility, and how to adapt to different personalities and needs. Whether I’m looking after puppies full of energy or helping senior pets feel safe and comfortable, I treat every pet with the same love and attention I give my own❤️ I work for myself from home, so I have plenty of flexibility and free time throughout the day. That means I can give your pet lots of attention, playtime, and care — whether it’s cuddles, company, or keeping them entertained. My schedule makes it easy to fit around your pet’s routine and make sure they feel happy and looked after! I live in a house with a fenced garden and plenty of space for pets to play and relax. With no other pets in the home, it’s a calm, comfortable environment where your furry friend can feel safe and cared for.
“Our first time using Rover and Tarnya was amazing. Put my mind at total ease, treated Koda like he was her own. Updates and photos too throughout. Definitely will use again. A total star x”
“Tereza was a brilliant host for our dog Rossi. She is super-calm and immediately won over Rossi. She was great with communications and sent loads of photos. 100% recommended!”

“Emily was amazing first time with my cat, she kept me updated and made sure that Roxy was taken good care if whilst I was enjoying my holiday. Would recommend her to anyone, and she was available in the last minute.”
About: I've been around animals since I can remember, mostly dogs but we've had a few cats as well. I've had 5 dogs in my life and most recently a puppy, so I know how to take care of a puppy such as crate and toilet training, playtime, and however old they are let them experience the outside and other dogs. also sadly the dog that has been around me since I was six past away earlier this year and ever since around last year he deteriorated quickly and had to help him into the garden and only could walk him up the drive way and let him sniff around so I think I have experience with senior dogs as well. I'm currently at Falmouth University studying Film however second year is coming to a close so I'll be free most days to take care of your pets. Currently I am available on most weekdays and weekends at midday and after. As a student my uni house doesn't allow pets but I'm more than happy to come to the owner's house and take care of the dog/s or cat/s while the owner is away, I know many places around Penryn and Falmouth to take them on a lovely walk.
“Eleanor looked after my cats amazingly. They absolutely adore her, and the proof was all the pictures she sent me daily. She fed them and cleaned their mess. I felt safe leaving my house keys with her. I will definitely book with her again. Amazing cat sitter!”
“Our cat is very wary, touching on the neurotic, but Leanne managed to get close to her and she was much more relaxed when we got home than she normally is. For any cat owners I would certainly recommend Leanne”
“Kelly T. was fantastic with our cat, Shadow. She was incredibly reliable with morning and evening visits, ensuring all dietary and water needs were met exactly as requested. Kelly followed all instructions to the letter, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. Shadow was clearly well-cared for, and I would be happy to recommend Kelly.”
About: I’ve had my cat Gio since she was a kitten, so I’m confident with early care, feeding routines, litter training and play. I’m used to reading body language and understanding signals, so I know when a cat wants interaction and when they’d rather have space. I’m comfortable with a range of personalities and always stick to their routine to help them feel calm, safe and settled.
“From the moment we met Donna we knew our cats would be safe and happy being taken care of by her whilst we were away. She sent photos and kept us updated every time she visited and we came home to 3 very calm contented cats. We can’t thank Donna enough and highly recommend her services.”
About: I have looked after pets for roughly 15 years, from cats and dogs of all sizes. Also experienced with smaller exotic pets including hedgehogs and hamsters. Experience with puppy training both my own and family pets, be this with basic commands, toilet training, learning to walk to heel or recall. Further experience with elderly dogs through my own. Able to accommodate any requirements. Our team are 2 adults, one works from home full time, the other onshift ususally nights. Available all hours to accommodate any animal requirements from people who love to be around them. Able to work around the owners schedule to fit whatever they need. Most important thing is making sure the pets we look after are safe and comfortable. Animals wouldn't be left unattended as we know what they can get up to when a back is turned. Any details or instructions provided by the owner will be strictly followed as making sure their pets are as safe and comfortable as possible is our number one priority.
About: I’ve had experience with cats my whole life; both senior cats and kittens and I am aware of their different needs. I have a quiet and calm demeanour which is reassuring for the cats. I have experience with feeding, changing water, cleaning litter, brushing, and providing excellent play time!
“Dipali showed respect for all my requirements, and gave me regular updates (including photos) of how my pet (a cat) was doing. It was clear when she visited, and from the photos, that my often nervous pet felt relaxed around her, and she was calm and happy to engage with them. She didn't hesitate to raise a minor issue with me when she encountered it, and on return everything seemed to be in order. She contacted me in a timely fashion to arrange return of my keys. I would not hesitate to use her services again in future.”
“Highly recommend Sim, my cat is an indoor pampered fur baby so can be a little nervous. He warmed to Sim immediately- have to say I was amazed and relieved. The photos and report I received from Sim on the first night of my holiday ( and after every visit )gave me such comfort that he was being so well looked after. Will definitely be booking another holiday with the knowledge that I have a true animal lover to trust with my precious pet.”
“Maisie took amazing care of Vanil, and I felt completely at ease leaving him with her. She was kind, reliable, and kept me updated, which I really appreciated. I’d definitely recommend her!”

“Kasper came back from his day with Deborah very happy after a lovely day; I think he’ll sleep well tonight! Would happily recommend Deborah and will definitely book again. Very happy - thank you”
“Abbie was a fantastic day carer for Joska. I was kept updated throughout the day with news of how Joska was doing and Abbie and her partner kept her entertained and happy rught through her stay. When I arrived to collect her, she didn’t want to leave! We’ll definitely be using Abbie’s service again soon. It was great!”
“Aurora had the best day with Leah! She settled in right away and felt completely at home. Leah kept me updated with lovely photos and videos throughout the day - it was such a joy to see Aurora so happy and relaxed. I couldn’t recommend Leah more highly, and we can’t wait to book with her again soon! 😊”
About: I have been around animals since childhood. My family has a dog called Miki who is now 13 years old. I also have two cats of my own: Vivi, who is 3 years old, and Milka, who is 16. I rescued Milka and took care of her for 2 years before she stayed with my family in Ukraine. Growing up, I also cared for a parrot, a rat, and two guinea pigs. I truly love dogs and enjoy spending time with them. I trained our family dog basic commands such as sit, lie down, stay close, give paw, voice, and roll over. I am patient, caring, and treat every pet as if it were my own. I’m currently not working, so I have plenty of time and flexibility for pet care. I recently moved to England and can fully focus on your cat’s routine, comfort, and daily needs. I live in a calm home with no pets at the moment, which suits many animals. I carefully follow all instructions and make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

“I can't recommend Maria enough. Cebru loved his stay. For an anxious boy who's nervous around other people, he seemed to love it. He was well looked after and I got updates throughout the day. He came back one happy boy.”
About: My work experience is varied from small to large animals on farms, veterinary surgery livery yards and private houses, of all sizes. Loved by all I currently have no responsibility’s other than taking on other peoples pets to care for in their own home environment. There are no limits to distance or days I am free to stay as long or as short a time is required I have looked after animals in lots of various settings including very grand houses with lots of land and various types at any one time. Very confident in all environments
“Elizabeth and her lovely family looked after biscuit with great care and gave her heaps of attention, they treated her like their own dog and biscuit loved being around the two girls. I was updated with photos and little stories of what they got up to whilst I was away for work and they made us smile as she clearly looked entertained, was having zoomies and playing with the children and getting lots of cuddles and attention. It made us quite jealous :) My husband found the location easy for work to drop her off on the way and made life easier for him knowing she was cared for extremely well. We will be using Elizabeth and her family again! Thank you for what you did for Biscuit, she came home tired and slept all afternoon and hardly moved :)”
“Liga was so good with our Winnie. She is really attentive and professional. Without even asking, she sent us regular updates and pictures throughout the day. Her dog Marley was also really good with Winnie and she normally doesn't like big dogs. I reccomend Liga for your bookings, shes really friendly and welcoming! best sitter i've had yet”
“Great sitter! Keep us well informed and updated on my dogs day stay. Was really flexible with timings too. Really happy and felt comfortable leaving my dog with Krishna for the day. He returned home completely shattered so clearly had a great day of play ??”
About: Animals have held a special place in my heart since childhood. As a teenager, I volunteered at a shelter, walking dogs, cleaning their spaces, and simply being there for them when they needed it most. Those experiences taught me empathy, responsibility, and a deep understanding of dogs’ needs. For 17 years, I shared my life with a wonderful dog who was not just a pet, but my best friend and a true member of the family. Losing her was incredibly difficult, but it also reminded me how meaningful and powerful the bond between humans and animals can be. Today, together with my family, I share my home with our dog Sky, who fills our lives with love, joy, and warmth. She is my everyday companion and makes each day brighter. Two years ago, I had the beautiful experience of helping her bring eight puppies into the world. I cared for her and the puppies around the clock, ensuring they were safe, healthy, and loved. It was truly a special and unforgettable time, and I’m happy to say that all the puppies found caring homes—and we still keep in touch with their families. I truly love spending time with animals and enjoy long walks, especially at sunset. I treat every dog with the same care, attention, and affection as if they were my own.🫶 am currently not working, which means I have plenty of time to give your pets the attention, care, and playtime they deserve. I’m available throughout the day and can easily adapt to your pet’s routine. I also offer overnight stays 7 days a week, ensuring your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for at all times. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a large, secure garden where your pet can safely play, explore, and relax. They’ll also enjoy daily playtime with my dog, Sky, who is gentle, well-socialized, and very friendly with both people and other animals. She’s a wonderful companion and loves having new friends around. At the same time, I understand that some pets may need their own space, so my home offers a calm and comfortable environment where your pet can rest and unwind whenever they need.

“Jade has looked after my dog before and she always leaves so happy and very tired out. Really great communication and pick up/drop off are super easy. Would 100% recommend and will use again!”
About: Hi, I’m Khalilah! A huge dog lover who will treat your dog like my own I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life, so I’m very comfortable with their needs and routines. We got a Yorkshire Terrier 5 years ago back at home and it has given me hands-on experience with everything from daily walks and feeding to playtime, attention, and keeping a dog happy and safe. I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone you trust, so I always aim to be responsible, communicative, and attentive. Whether your dog needs lots of exercise, cuddles, or a consistent routine, I’m happy to adapt to what works best for them. I’m comfortable with different breeds and personalities, and I’ll always follow your instructions carefully to make sure your dog feels at home. I’d love to meet you and your dog, feel free to message me with any questions! I’m at university part time so I have a lot of time available for your dogs. The year is also wrapping up so there is even more time. I’m very active so I am very happy to take your dog out whenever. I have a relatively large garden and Queen’s Park is less than a 5 minute walk away. I have a roommate that absolutely adores dogs too so your pup will always be in good condition
“Our Cinnamon had a great time with you thanks so much. We were sent lots of pics and update so felt very comfortable knowing she was safe and well looked after. Cinnamon had lots of play and walks and is now tuckered out and happily napping away! Thanks very much Hayley :)”
About: I recently obtained my Level 2 certificate in animal welfare which allows me to provide an extra level of care to your dog. My understanding of their needs is much greater since accomplishing this also due to the work experience in a busy dog day care, I was quickly brought up to speed managing up to 20 dogs! I have always been passionate about dogs ever since I became a young dog mum, I took my boarder collie dog training when I was 13 and created a fabulous bond which will last a million lifetimes! She lived well into her senior age of 18 where I met all her senior needs 🥰 Unfortunately last year she passed but I loved every minute of being a dog mum so now I'm using my passions to provide a safe and loving environment for other dogs to enjoy as a fun doggy holiday. I am always walking and hiking, I am also a self employed hair dresser which means I am often at home or not far from it. I have a huge secure garden, which is often referred to as a doggy's paradise! I live in a detached barn conversion with a 360 garden. I have an open plan house, with hard floors perfect for dogs. I live 2 minutes from a park and not far from Leicester centre.
About: Hi! I’m James and my daughter is Ava. We’ve both grown up around animals — I’ve had dogs, cats, rabbits and even pet rats from childhood, and Ava has had dos and cats from a baby - we honestly can’t imagine life without them. We have two beautiful little dogs of our own: Emilie (Toy Poodle × Chihuahua), who can be cautious at first but soon warms, and Marley (Toy Poodle), who wants to be best friends with everyone straight away! We live in a nice home in Cossington, Leicestershire, with lovely walks nearby like Cossington Lakes. Our garden is secure at the front and back, so your dog can potter around safely and relax. We’re a calm, caring home where dogs can feel part of the family — cuddles on the sofa, gentle walks, and plenty of reassurance. We’d love to welcome your dog and look after them like one of our own. I work in the emergency services as an assessor/instructor, and I’m usually free on weekends and every other Friday to give your dog lots of love and attention. I can also offer overnight stays in the week (evening to morning), though weekday daytimes aren’t possible unless we’re all comfortable with the dogs being left alone together while I work. This may be an option once your dog has been to the house a few times… Our house and gardens are completely fenced and secure. Unless agreed otherwise, e.g. for weekday care while I’m at work, your dog will never be left alone while in our care. Although I don’t have specific dog related medical training, I am trained to a trauma care level (with humans) and have a good understanding and appreciation for safety at all times and what to do in an emergency. All of our dogs have have lived to a very ripe old age and are loved, cared for and treated as part of the family.

“Joss was great! He was good at being in touch and seemed to look after Percy really well. It was a huge help having him look after our pup whilst we were away sailing - thank you!”
About: I’ve worked with dogs for over 8 years now, in a variety of different roles including a dog handler, kennel assistant and dog walker. I own 2 dogs myself, a ridgeback/rottweiler and a Labrador retriever. I’ve also worked with various dogs of all sorts of different sizes and backgrounds and believe all dogs deserve the same love and attention. As I currently work from 4:30 to 1:30 in my main job, I’ll be able to walk your dogs during the afternoon. I will offer a meet and greet initially before walking your dog, so you can get to know me a little bit and build some trust between you and me and also your dog.
About: I have a 9 year old black Labrador who is the family pet and have been helping my mum with doggy day care and dog boarding for over 2 years now. We’ve looked after dogs all shapes and sizes over the years ranging from puppies to mastiffs. The dogs tend to use me for my bed and cuddles! I’m currently looking for a full time remote/hybrid job after travelling for 6 months so will have plenty of time for your pups. I’m available for dog sitting and walking every day of the week at the moment. I’m very used to looking after dogs with different needs in our house and can easily accommodate for your dogs needs in the comfort of their own home.
About: What sets me apart is how much genuine care and attention I give to every pet I look after. I understand that every animal has their own personality and needs, and I always take the time to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and happy. Although I don’t have formal professional experience, I’ve grown up around dogs through my family, so I’m confident handling different breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I also have experience caring for rabbits, which has taught me patience, gentle handling, and the importance of paying close attention to behaviour and routine. I’m very reliable and organised with my time around college and work, so I can be flexible while still making sure pets get consistent care and attention. I’m also happy to follow any specific instructions closely, whether that’s for feeding, walks, or general routines. Most importantly, I treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure owners feel reassured with regular updates and photos while they’re away. Pet care fits really well into my daily routine. I’m currently at college, which means I have several gaps throughout the day that I can dedicate to dog walks, check-ins, or spending time with pets. I also have fairly flexible evenings and mostly free weekends, so I’m able to offer consistent care and give pets the time and attention they need. I work part-time alongside this, but I plan my schedule carefully to make sure any pets I’m looking after are always prioritised and not left alone for long periods. I enjoy being active and getting outdoors, so dog walking fits naturally into my routine, and I’m happy to adapt to each pet’s usual schedule as much as possible. When caring for pets, I always focus on making them feel as comfortable and secure as possible, whether they’re in my home or their own. In a pet owner’s home, I stick closely to their usual routine including feeding times, walks, and any specific instructions so pets feel settled and stress-free in their familiar environment. I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship, and I always keep the home clean and respected. I also keep owners updated with regular messages and photos, so they can feel confident their pet is happy and well cared for.
About: *Available for last-minute bookings and regular weekday drop-ins* I’m really tuned into animals, so I focus on making them feel safe, calm and loved—not just “looked after.” I’ve got a 13-year-old dog, so I’m confident with senior care, slower walks and meds, and a young cat… so I’m very familiar with being politely ignored until food is involved 😄 I’ve got experience with puppies right through to seniors, and with both small and large dogs, so I’m comfortable adapting to different needs, energy levels and personalities. I’m gentle, reliable and stick closely to your pet’s routine, with plenty of updates so you know your floof is happy and settled. I’m available weekdays between school drop-off and pick-up, and I plan my day around that time so pets get consistent care and attention rather than being rushed. I keep my schedule manageable so I can be fully present, and I’m happy to arrange weekends on request where possible, though availability may vary slightly as I have a 4-year-old son. I always follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible so they feel safe and settled, whether that’s in your home or out on walks. I take the time to understand their needs, personality and any specific instructions, including feeding, walks, medication and behaviour. I keep everything calm, secure and predictable, making sure doors, gates and spaces are safe at all times. I’m attentive to any changes in behaviour and adjust my approach to suit them, and I’ll keep you updated regularly so you can feel confident they’re happy and well cared for.

“First time I’ve used this app, struck gold with Adam who was fantastic. He arranged a meet and greet with our dog Sammy and stayed an hour. Sammy loved him and Adam came 7 mornings to collect him for a walk whilst I’ve been away. Always on time, had a full report everyday by text including photos. Delighted, I will be using Adam again and would recommend him to all. Thank you so much.”

About: I recently lost our beautiful 15 year old cockador and I have a huge gap until we get a puppy again.

About: Had pets since I arrived in this world! From cats, Guinea pigs, Rabbits, dogs and even cared for birds and reptiles! Animals tend to love me :) I am a voice actor and work from my home studio. I have portable equipment that I will bring to your home to continue recording my audiobooks! Working from home on my own schedule allows me to put your pets needs alongside my own so they’re well cared for! I like to speak to the owners about safety for the pets, what they would normally do (ie leash on walks, keep, Away from X etc). Keeping your pets safe is why you have me there so it’s important to be on the same page.
About: What sets me apart is my real, hands-on experience managing many dogs at once. I own four dogs and have cared for twelve family dogs, so I’m confident with different personalities, routines, puppies, and senior dogs. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every pet like my own. Back home, I handle my own dogs with feeding, walks, routines, and providing constant love and attention. I’m an MBA student at Loughborough with a flexible schedule and lots of free time between classes. I really miss my own dogs, so being around pets fits naturally into my day, and I can give them plenty of attention, walks, and care I provide a safe, trusting environment for your dog in your home. I can follow your routines closely and give plenty of attention, walks, and playtime. If needed, I can also crate your dog comfortably. My experience with my own dogs and family dogs ensures your fur baby will feel happy and secure while you’re away.
About: I used to have a dog of my own and I pet sit for neighbours all the time. I taught my dog basic skills such as sit/lay/stay/heel/etc! As a university student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide plenty of attention and care to pets throughout the week. While I do have some classes and commitments, I make sure to plan my time so that I can be present and reliable when looking after animals. Pet care easily fits into my routine, and I love having the company! I am fundraising for a Kilimanjaro climb for Dig Deep, a charity helping provide clean water in Bomet County, Kenya - all proceeds go to this! I always aim to make pets feel comfortable, safe, and happy and make sure to provide regular updates to their owner to ensure peace of mind. I follow any routines or instructions provided closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care they might need. I also make sure they get lots of attention and affection, and I keep things calm and consistent so they feel at ease while their owner is away.
About: Hi, I’m Khalilah! A huge dog lover who will treat your dog like my own I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life, so I’m very comfortable with their needs and routines. We got a Yorkshire Terrier 5 years ago back at home and it has given me hands-on experience with everything from daily walks and feeding to playtime, attention, and keeping a dog happy and safe. I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone you trust, so I always aim to be responsible, communicative, and attentive. Whether your dog needs lots of exercise, cuddles, or a consistent routine, I’m happy to adapt to what works best for them. I’m comfortable with different breeds and personalities, and I’ll always follow your instructions carefully to make sure your dog feels at home. I’d love to meet you and your dog, feel free to message me with any questions! I’m at university part time so I have a lot of time available for your dogs. The year is also wrapping up so there is even more time. I’m very active so I am very happy to take your dog out whenever. I have a relatively large garden and Queen’s Park is less than a 5 minute walk away. I have a roommate that absolutely adores dogs too so your pup will always be in good condition
About: I have always been relied on by friends & family to look after their dogs when needed. I have experience in all dogs, senior, puppies, and dogs that struggle with new people. I also have experience in administering medication, understanding behaviour, walking, feeding and grooming. I’m currently working part time, which means I have some free time through out my week! My shift pattern at work changes each week. I have been brought up around dogs my whole life, and I also have a big German Shepard myself who has anxiety around people. This means I have learned skills in how to create a safe environment for dogs and make them feel at ease ❤️
About: Hi, my name is Sim, I'm 25 years old, I work full time but on shifts so I have a range of availability based upon my shift patterns. I've got experience in sitting and walking different breeds, and I'm a big breed lover having my own 3 at home! (3 German shepherds!) Currently I do occasionally dog sit for friends and family, typically their dogs stay over with my 3 dogs who love having friends over! So what sets me apart from other walkers and sitters? Well, I love dogs, I've had 5 years of experience (on and off), all my dogs have been adopted and rehomed - so I've worked with a variety of different dogs with different needs. Recently fostering a dog for 3 months and got her trained up before she went to her new home which she's succeeding in! I own a car so I'm happy to travel. And with your permission if you leave your dog with me over night or for a few days, I can take them to locations such as the Peak District to get some quality time in, otherwise to the local parks and nature reserves. 😁 I do have a really big garden which is fenced off. If we require use of a create then we can encourage that with your dog, we just request to provide a bed or item that your dog is currently familiar with to keep in the crate if crate time is required, we want to keep the environment as familiar as possible to help reduce anxiety. My house has multiple cameras situated throughout the property, inside and outside for peace of mind. I work full time but I work different shifts weekly but I know what I'm working well in advance, and I have my partner to lend a hand. Large garden fenced off, cameras around the house and the outside the house so we have eyes on the property at all times. But someone will always be home.
About: I’m a full-time Farm Manager with a strong background in animal welfare and hands-on experience caring for a wide range of animals. I’ve had my own dog for 15 years, so I understand the importance of patience, routine and proper care. I offer reliable dog walking services tailored to each dog’s needs, whether they prefer active walks or a slower pace. I’m available evenings and weekends and always aim to keep dogs safe, happy and well-exercised. Through my work, I’m confident handling different temperaments and energy levels, keeping consistent routines, and recognising when an animal needs a little extra reassurance. I’m calm, reliable and attentive, and I always prioritise safety and wellbeing. I’m available evenings and weekends and would love to give your dog plenty of care, enrichment and companionship.

About: FOR DISCOUNTS USE THE CODE: 'KRISHD17658' I'm a new pup-mum (Alloo) and old dog sitter! Preferring the company of our four-legged friends, I have the luxury of spending the entire day/night with them as I work from home full-time. Long walks and playtime are Alloos favourite times of the day, so rest assured your doggo will be returning home very tired! Alloo is 8 months old, loves humans and dogs so you don’t have to worry about your doggo being on his own. Aside from this, I'm pretty flexible & would love to meet you and your fur-baby! For any other questions or queries please feel free to ping me a message, I aim to reply within 24hours :) I don’t sit on Fridays anymore as I have to go into the office.

“Liga provided the perfect home for our dog, Jack, while we were away for 2 days. He has very specific dietary needs and she was meticulous following them even with other dogs to care for as well. Her communication was stellar and Jack had an amazing time. Would absolutely recommend her as a dog sitter/boarding.”
“Steve and his family were delightful and gave Maimie a lovely ‘home from home’ stay. Steve couldn’t have been more helpful. He gave us confidence from the moment we met him and his lovely dog Laszlo. He was a great communicator and sent through lovely updates and pictures while we were away. Best of all he clearly loves and understands dogs. It’s so great to find someone who is clearly adored by his canine friends! Thanks Steve and family!”
“Stephanie swooped in to save us when a previous booking fell through just days before our wedding. She not only stepped up and saved us in our hour of need but took care of our boy as if he was her own. He was so well looked after and we got lots of updates including photos. Honestly cant recommend Stephanie enough. Thank you so much.”
“Such a gem of a boarder, used Abbie for the first time recently and she instantly filled us with confidence. We have a pet whose fairly specific with her needs and Abbie was super accommodating of it all and our dog seemed to be very comfortable with her. We have already rebooked Abbie for an upcoming trip. Highly recommend!”
“Julia was absolutely amazing with Safia ❤️ From the very beginning, she was caring, attentive, communicative, and incredibly thoughtful. She kept me updated throughout the stay with detailed messages about walks, food, water, playtime, and how Safia was doing emotionally, which gave me so much peace of mind, and the most thorough report about her day. She even washed and dried Safia’s blanket after a little accident without hesitation, such a kind gesture that truly shows how much she cares! Safia clearly felt comfortable and loved with Julia and her family, and it made me so happy to hear how well she got along with everyone 😊 I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better person. I would trust Julia again without a second thought and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, warm, patient, and genuinely loving with dogs. Thank you again for taking such wonderful care of Safia 🐾”
“Seb was with Milena for a night and most of a second day, Seb absolutely loved it! Milena was very attentive to Seb’s needs and she kept in touch with me throughout the time with updates including pictures. Milena is highly recommended, would not hesitate to book again!”
“Our first time using Rover and Tarnya was amazing. Put my mind at total ease, treated Koda like he was her own. Updates and photos too throughout. Definitely will use again. A total star x”
“I can’t recommend Dipali and her husband enough! They were absolute lifesavers when our original dog sitter canceled on us last minute, just before our holiday to Morocco. Despite never having met us or Pablo before, they kindly agreed to take him in without a meet-and-greet, and at such short notice. From the moment my brother dropped Pablo off on Friday evening until we picked him up on Tuesday, Dipali and her husband provided the most loving and attentive care. They kept me updated with regular photos and messages, which gave me total peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that Pablo felt completely at home—he was so happy and comfortable that he’s actually crying the front door wanting to go back! Dipali and her husband truly have a passion for dogs, and their kindness and dedication shine through in the way they care for them. I’m beyond grateful for their help and will definitely be booking with them again. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Pablo!xx”
“I left Sheru with Polly for a month. Unfortunately, our flight was cancelled due to the ongoing county conflict and I couldn’t pick him up after the end of the period. I was really worried about him and didn’t know what to do. I was also concerned about where to leave him as Polly had another appointment. I asked Polly if she could extend the booking and keep Sheru with her. Finally she agreed, we were relieved. She regularly updates me and sends his pictures. I truly appreciate her help and the way she’s taking care of my pet.”
