“I couldn’t have found a better board for Loki. From our meet and greet until I collected him I knew Kate was such a lovely carer for him. He was so loved and looked after and the regular updates were so reassuring that he was having the best time! It can be daunting to leave a loved doggie but Kate made us both feel so welcome and Loki was made to feel like one of the family. I hope I can find another opportunity for Loki to visit Kate and her lovely family xx”
“Our dog doesn’t cope well with change but our usual dog-sitters were unavailable when we needed someone to look after her so we could attend a family funeral. After reading her reviews I contacted Anjola and explained our predicament. She listened to our concerns and was happy for us to go and meet her and her dog before making a decision. Minty was quite reactive with Anjola’s dog and very possessive of her snacks but despite this Anjola said she was sure they’d be fine once she’d had chance to settle in. We went ahead and booked and had regular updates and photos, overall the visit went quite well. We have already recommended Anjola to our daughter.”
“What can I say about jade and her family ,well the dog loved it jade was on hand all thorough the booking and when not available her mum and partner were,was sent loads of photos and updates ,even one of her in the pub after a long walk ( I do the same ) so routine was kept ,will definitely be booking jade again and honestly if you need a decent home for your dog ,jade and her family are the ones Thanks jade”
“Liga has taken great care of my dog on his first overnight stay. I really appreciated the photos and videos she sent of him having a ball with his new buddies. He’s been treated as one of the family. Thank you Liga!”
“Bella was so happy here and made herself at home very quickly. Definitely recommend, a very chilled and calm environment. Bella stayed for two days and enjoyed her little break away.”
“First time for my dog Amba staying overnight with Steph and her husband. Communication was great and I received some lovely pics and updates. Amba had a great time.”
“Leah looked after Ruby really well. She took her for daily walks and provided daily updates on how Ruby was doing. I have never seen my dog so content after being away for a few days. I would definitely use her again.”
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.
“Fab experience! Great communication throughout, with lovely picture updates that gave me real peace of mind. She got on so well with Marnie, and it was so nice knowing she was being so well looked after. Would definitely 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 🐕.
“Chris and Venetia are wonderful doggy hosts. They were very accommodating and my two frenchies were in great, safe hands whilst we were away. Excellent photo skills too. Thanks so much both, we'll definitely be back.”
“Richard and Bee took great care of Oscar for 5 nights. I received daily updates and photographs and felt reassured that Oscar was being well cared for and loved. Oscar is full of personality and has some very odd and crazy habits, but I felt relaxed in the knowledge that Richard and Bee were enjoying his quirky personality. I would definitely ask Richard and Bee to look after Oscar in the future! Thank you both. ☺️”
“Jamie and Andrea were fabulous with our two. They made us feel really comfortable, and were really flexible when our pick up situation needed to change. They were really communicative and we loved seeing pictures of our girls on their holidays!”
“Victoria did a fantastic job looking after coco . He is being very well cared for and he seems very calm and happy when we picked him after our holiday . I will be using Victoria services again and highly recommend her .”
“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.”
“We couldn’t be any happier how Dudley was very well taken care of and in very safe hands with Hayley. We had constant updates and photos of how Dudley was getting on throughout his weeks stay. Multiple daily walks, lots of love and attention along with plenty of belly rubs ….Dudley had a great time! Would thoroughly recommend Hayley as we fully trust her expertise and service. Our first time and now we feel 100% secure to use again for future visits!”
“Heather and her lovely family took wonderful care of Oreo whilst we were away, Oreo was relatively new to my family and has some challenges that we were still discovering, because of this I wanted to ensure we were open and honest about how he might be, nothing was an issues for Heather and due to her experience with her own animals and how caring and understanding she came across it was the best decision we made! We received photos of Oreo's exploring and playing and to be honest I don't think he wanted to leave when we came to pick him up! Thank you so much for putting my mind at ease and taking such wonderful care of Oreo! I would 100% recommend!!”

“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”
“We are so grateful to Kelly for looking after Harry so well, we could relax knowing that he was in good hands. The daily updates and photos were just lovely to see, and Kelly also went above and beyond by bringing in our parcels out of the rain! We are really grateful and appreciate all she did. Thank you so much Kelly”
About: As a dedicated cat owner of three cats I’ve raised since they were kittens, I understand how important routine, patience, and gentle care are for felines. I’m very familiar with different personalities from playful and social cats to shy or more independent ones and I adjust my approach to what each cat needs to feel comfortable. I’ve provided drop-in visits for cats in their own homes, handling feeding schedules, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, and giving them companionship while their owners are away. I’m attentive to changes in behavior, appetite, or mood and will always keep you updated with messages and photos for peace of mind.
“Absolutely fantastic! Ellie was wonderful with our boy Sammy He can be a stubborn fella and having diabetes going away can be stressful at best of times leaving him at home. But I’m so glad we found Ellie she was lovely and genuine when she came and met Sammy and me before hand to get a feel for his personality. Kept in constant contact with pictures and I felt so at ease knowing his bloody glucose would be tested along side his usual insulin jabs m, Ellie was wonderful with all of that too. Would recommend anyone to book Ellie she was just amazing and I think Sammy is missing her visits now too!”
“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.”
“Julie came to our house to feed and exercise Jazz our cockapoo. She came to our home prior to this for meet and greet time with Jazz and ourselves. Julie was punctual, very professional and had a warm, caring, capable manner. We all immediately felt at ease. Her communication throughout was excellent. I would not hesitate to recommend Julie”
“Imogen was fantastic with looking after my cat, Mittens, for a week. Definitely great with cats, as Mittens let her stroke her. Imogen sent us daily messages & videos. Very reliable and reassuring. I would certainly recommend Imogen to care for your pets! Thank you 😊”
“This is my first experience of this service. I contacted Maisie to care for my two cats. She responded promptly to my message and was spot on time for the introductory visit. Maisie asked relevant questions about the boys care and explained that I would receive photos and a message after the visit. I was happy with the care provided and would book Maisie again.”
“Katy took great care of our animals and home. Of course we went away in the heat wave but she consistently went above and beyond to make sure everyone was okay. Her communication is amazing. We will 100% book again.”
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.
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 have experience caring for cats both in their own homes and while owners are away. I understand that every cat has their own personality, with some enjoying lots of attention and playtime, while others prefer their own space. I always take the time to get to know each cat and follow their usual routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. I make sure they have fresh food and water, clean litter trays regularly, and spend quality time with them through play, grooming (if they enjoy it), or simply keeping them company. I also monitor their wellbeing and behaviour, making sure they’re happy and healthy throughout my visits. I know how important it is for owners to feel confident that their cat is being well cared for, so I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos while you’re away.
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.
“2nd booking with Roya! I'm so happy that Roya was able to take the time to patiently wait for my very shy cat to come out to socialise (and to pose for photos!), I really appreciate it. Thanks Roya!”
“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’ve had and taken care of cats for many years, both in my own home and there owners If your looking for a loving and caring sitter for your cat or kitten you’ve found the right person 💕

“Kathryn was lovely from the start. Offered an initial meet and greet, which was lovely, ahead of a full day care day. Communication was great and Kathryn kept me updated through the day. I had one very happy and tired boy at the end. Would definitely recommend Kathryn and will definitely book her again. Thank you Kathryn 😊”
“Shivani and Shanti were lovely looking after our dog Arlo for couple of hours. Super helpful with sending updates and pictures and were very friendly and accommodating. If we are ever in the area again would definitely leave our pup in their care. Thank you so much for everything! :)”
“Liga is caring and welcoming, she took the time to find out about my dog's needs and was very accommodating. The house is lovely with a large garden, so a great environment for dogs :)”

“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: I love all animals but dogs have a special place in my heart ❤️! I have loads experience looking after animals of all kinds. My Dad was a vet and loved to take advantage of the cheap labour opportunity and had me working at his practice on weekends since I was 12! I have experience caring for and entertaining dogs, but also in administering any medication they may be taking. I have a beagle of my own called Freddie, he is very friendly and loves to have other dogs to play with! I work from home during the week so your dog will not be left for any stretch of time. I live in a house with a decent sized garden that is secure and fenced! Happy for any prospective client to come and check my home to see where their dog will be staying or do a pre-meet/walk if they are worried about how their dog will mix with Freddie. Freddie and I go for a walk daily, usually around the local country park… and we would welcome an addition 😊 Living alone and having a dog means I often find myself having to find someone trustworthy to look after my boy. It is never easy to find someone readily available and at a reasonable price. That is what has motivated me to offer my services at a low price. I know how stressful it can be to organise pet care and would love to be able to ease that stress for others so we can all just look forward to a break away 🙂 I work from home. It is a full working day but I am happy to have the dogs in the office with me and do find time to engage and play with my own dog during the day. They do also have the freedom to roam around the house, snooze, or play in the garden. Attached house so no side gates. Garden is fenced and fences are secure and high. If I need to travel with your dog I have safety clips in my car. I also live down a longish driveway so there is no main road immediately nearby. I work from home so I have plenty of opportunity to play with the dogs during the day. Having a dog myself means my routine is relatively unaffected, we just have another dog along with us. I have a fenced garden. Can crate your dog if you bring the crate along with you. Dogs are fed separately. I have spare dog bowls and beds.
“Steven and family have been incredible and warmly welcomed Ruby into their home! Steven is very responsive and super helpful in ensuring your dog’s needs are met with plenty of pictures too! Ruby will be visiting again!”
“Hayley & Partner are such nice people and looked after our 10 month old Aluskie and he was treated like there own loads of walks loads of updates with great pictures of his advent thank you much. Wouldn’t hesitate book again .”
“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! 😊”
“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 :)”
“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!”
“First stay with Jamie and hopefully will not be the last. My dog was very well cared for and he was content on picking up. Jamie and his partner were considerate and made sure they understood his behaviours. I would happily leave my dog in their care again.”
“Carina was absolute brilliant with Artie, so flexible of his specific needs (he is very anxious and scared around other dogs) and helped to facilitate a really positive meeting between him and Mocha, who he now seems to be really relaxed around. She was really attentive and kept me well updated with photos (Artie particularly enjoyed the air-conditioning during the heatwave). Genuinely feel really lucky to have found someone so understanding and supportive of Artie's complications. Cannot thank her enough for making the whole experience so easy and making my first experience leaving Artie with a dog sitter such a positive one.”
About: I’ve had pets since I was born. I was raised with 5 dogs at home, from puppies to elderly I enjoyed training, feeding and playing with them. As a teenager I’d help my friends by going to their houses to take care of their dogs and cats and take them for walks. I’m a volunteer in a woodland forest rescuing animals and creating new habitats for them, which improves my understanding of their behaviours and needs. I don’t do boarding for pets from different households at the same time so they can feel more comfortable while away from home. If your pet has any allergies, special needs, medications or a specific routine please let me know during the booking. I’m currently back home during summer break from university so if there isn’t any plans I’m free the whole week 24/7. I got a flexible schedule to be able to adjust for shifts needed I’ve got a house with a closed and fenced garden with play and have a good time. I don’t have any pets at home but I’m free the whole time to stay with your pet.
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.
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 10. Family and friends have always relied on me to check up on them and give them the care they need! I’m available at any time during the week and weekends so I have plenty of time to look after your fury friends! Just let me know when suits you best :) I provide attentive, reliable, and compassionate care tailored to each pet’s individual needs. In my home, pets have a clean, safe, and comfortable environment with plenty of supervision, exercise, playtime, and affection. I follow the owner’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medication (if required), and any special care instructions to help pets feel relaxed and secure. When caring for pets in a pet owner’s home, I respect their home and maintain the pet’s normal routine to minimise stress. I ensure fresh water is always available, provide regular exercise and enrichment, clean up after pets, and keep owners updated with messages and photos for peace of mind. I pay close attention to each pet’s behaviour and wellbeing and would promptly contact the owner or a veterinarian if I noticed any signs of illness or an emergency. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and well cared for while their owner is away.
“Really happy with Ralph’s first daycare with Laura and family. He was very happy and calm when we picked him up and Laura documented his stay very well (love the photos!). Ralph seems to be very relaxed around Laura and her dog Zola and in particular gravitates towards their daughter a lot! We look forward to Ralph’s future visits”
“Very happy with care Jackie provided for my pup Luke, although I didn't get any updates throughout the day. I could see that he was happy on the photos. He didn't want to leave as he fell in love with guinea pigs. Will definitely book again.”
“Laura was absolutely fantastic. Treated Nala to a lovely day of walks and an all round pleasant day, keeping me informed throughout. Would 100% recommend Laura to anyone in the Nottingham area if they need someone to look after their dog. Thanks Laura!”
About: I am very patient and attentive to the animals in my care and very protective towards them. I treat them like I treat my own dog. I am retired and am at home all the time. I am available every day of the week but would need 3 days' notice. I am quite flexible with my time. My garden is fully enclosed and safe from any dangers like the wrong plants or chemicals. The nearest park to me is a very secluded and safe place.

“Eleanor was fantastic! Super lovely and clearly very good with dogs. Marley loved her straight away and is happy and tired after his 2 walks with her. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Eleanor again!”
About: I’ve had dogs all my life, primarily adopted. From Collies to German Shepherds and Jack Russell’s. I’ve cared for them all from young until old. I also have experience with reptiles and small mammals. I have a lot of time on my hands at the moment and would love to be able to care for your pets. I love going on long walks, particularly places like Outwoods or Watermead. I have a car so I’m happy to come to you or take your dog out somewhere nice. I work from home, with my work schedule being quite flexible to my needs. As such I can tailor my day around different priorities, like pet care. I would be attentive, making sure they know I’m receptive to their needs, whether that’s letting them out in the garden regularly or feeding them. Playing with their toys and interacting regularly.

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.
“Susan is very experienced with dogs and handles my 3...one is very reactive...with ease. Susan is very caring, honest and trustworthy and I have no hesitancy recommending her services.”
“Sarah looked after our pooch, Milo for 2 weeks whilst we were away She updated us daily and sent photos to keep us in the loop and reassured. Could not of asked more. Would 100% recommend”
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 14-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.
“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 have experience caring for dogs both in my own home and in their owners’ homes. While on a gap year in Melbourne, Australia, I looked after dogs in my home while their owners were away, ensuring they felt safe, comfortable, and well cared for. More recently, I regularly care for a Cockapoo in the owner’s home while they are away, maintaining their usual routine and providing plenty of attention, walks, and companionship. I also have a lovely 10-year-old Sproodle at my family home, who I have helped care for since she was a puppy. She has given me valuable experience with the day-to-day responsibilities of owning a dog, from walks and playtime to feeding and providing lots of affection. She is very friendly and gets on well with dogs of a similar size. I genuinely enjoy spending time outdoors and love going for walks, so taking dogs out for exercise is something I look forward to rather than seeing as a chore. My aim is always to make every dog feel happy, comfortable, and cared for while giving owners complete peace of mind. I also have had cats ever since I was born so I am used to caring for them, including feeding, litter care, and providing affection. Further experience comes from my job. I work in home care, where tasks regularly involve caring for our customers’ pets, particularly cats and dogs. I am a Nursing student, however I am on break until October so work part time in home care. My hours are flexible so I can fit in visits around pet care, depending on how long they can be left alone and how much attention they require. I always aim to make pets feel as comfortable and relaxed as possible by keeping to their usual routine. Before any booking, I like to learn about their feeding schedule, walking routine, favourite toys, any medications, and anything else that helps them feel at home. In my own home, I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment where dogs receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and cuddles. I never leave dogs alone for long periods and make sure they have fresh water, regular toilet breaks, and lots of company throughout the day. When caring for pets in their own home, I respect both the pet’s routine and the owner’s home. I follow all instructions carefully, keep the home tidy, and make sure pets receive the same level of care and attention they’re used to. I know how important it is for owners to feel reassured while they’re away, so I’m always happy to send regular updates and photos so you can see how your pet is getting on.
About: I am a qualified vet nurse and have 19 years of experience studying and working with dogs/cats/rabbits and other animals. I am trustworthy and have the medical knowledge to know what to do in an emergency I work part time as a veterinary nurse and I fit my pet sitting visits around this.dog walking I would be available Thursdays/fridays/saturdays and sundays I offer in -home visits only for cats and dogs but will board rabbits/guniea pigs/small rodents and reptiles in their own cages.whatever is required of me by the owner I will have the knowledge ,understanding and medical care to achieve
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: BETSIES BUDDIES canine care 🐾 Caring for your dog when you can’t 🐾 BOARDING. WALKING.DAYCARE. DROP-INS I have owned and taken care of pets for many years, from horses to dogs, rabbits to ducks. I love animals (more than people 🤭) and would make any animal feel as welcome in my home as they are in yours. 5* home from home care. I am at home all day and evening, with only the school run as a daily commitment, so your pet would never be left alone for longer than 45mins at a time. Walks are included with boarding and day care. I live in a house with a fenced off secure garden, I live closely to fields for walking and a local country park for dogs that are happy to travel a short distance in the car. I have a miniature dachshund, Rufus who is all up to date on vaccinations, flea, wormer and kennel cough. He is great with all other animals including dogs of all sizes, cats and rabbits (cats cared for on drop-ins only) I also have two small cats. I can crate your pets, if crate is provided. Your pets will be treated in my home the same way they would be treated in yours. My pets my babies so I do allow them on all furniture and allow them run of house and garden. All pets MUST be safe around my children (15,14 &4) aswell as my own fur babies.

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: We're a dog loving family with over 10 years of experience caring for dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to gentle senior companions. We also have a friendly, well behaved dog of our own, so understand how important it is to find someone you trust. Your dogs safety and wellbeing are our top priorities. We provide a secure and loving home environment where your pooch will recieve plenty of attention and care throughout the day - especially as my husband and I both work from home, so they are never left alone. We understand that every dog is unique, and we will make sure to follow their routine, preferences and any specific needs to ensure they feel comfortable and happy while in our care. Me and my husband both work from home with flexible working hours so are able to provide plenty of cuddles and play time for your fur baby. We will treat the dog however you do at home and can provide as much potty breaks and walks as required. We have a 2 year old labradoodle called Nala who is very spoilt doggo, she can be excited when first meeting another dog but calms down after a short period. It's important to us that the dogs get along so would prefer to have a meet and greet for boarding and day care.

“I couldn’t have found a better board for Loki. From our meet and greet until I collected him I knew Kate was such a lovely carer for him. He was so loved and looked after and the regular updates were so reassuring that he was having the best time! It can be daunting to leave a loved doggie but Kate made us both feel so welcome and Loki was made to feel like one of the family. I hope I can find another opportunity for Loki to visit Kate and her lovely family xx”

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.
“Fab experience! Great communication throughout, with lovely picture updates that gave me real peace of mind. She got on so well with Marnie, and it was so nice knowing she was being so well looked after. Would definitely recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Chris and Venetia are wonderful doggy hosts. They were very accommodating and my two frenchies were in great, safe hands whilst we were away. Excellent photo skills too. Thanks so much both, we'll definitely be back.”
“Richard and Bee took great care of Oscar for 5 nights. I received daily updates and photographs and felt reassured that Oscar was being well cared for and loved. Oscar is full of personality and has some very odd and crazy habits, but I felt relaxed in the knowledge that Richard and Bee were enjoying his quirky personality. I would definitely ask Richard and Bee to look after Oscar in the future! Thank you both. ☺️”
“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.”
“Very pleased with the stay for Sebi and Bella, lots of photos were sent, updated daily, played lots of ball which they love, definitely recommend and definitely use the service again knowing that our dogs were happy and safe”
“George had a great second time staying with Pui Yan. I received many videos and photos of George having a ball. Pui Yan even taught him a few new tricks (touch and paw) and gave him some puppy perfume. He slept like a log when he got back home!”
“We couldn't have found a better person to look after our furry friend! He was well looked after, walked a lot and bonded with the family instantly, especially the youngest member! We got many updates and pictures which put our minds at ease, and we were sure our dog was in capable hands. He came back happy and healthy and we couldn't be more grateful for the care and love he received while we were away.”
“Levi looked to have a great time, I received lots of photos of Levi on walks and relaxing with lots of toys and dogs to play with. Will certainly reach out when I need another sitter. Thanks for having him and providing a great week for Levi”
“Amanda and her family looked after our Frenchie really well. I had lots of lovely updates and pictures too. He enjoyed all the cuddles. We wouldn’t hesitate to send him to stay again :)) x”
“Joseph & Frances took the best care of our retired racing greyhound Oakley! They are so caring and kept us up to date the whole stay with lots of photos of all the activities. Cannot recommend them both enough if you’re looking for a wonderful stay for your pup! They are now our go to when we need a dog sitter”
“Emma accepted the booking at short notice and was fantastic! She was so good with Bracken, treated her so well, took her on lots of walks and sent updates and photos. When I went to pick Bracken up, she seemed reluctant to leave Emma and I'm sure she would have gladly stayed longer! I highly recommend Emma and would definitely use her services again. Thank you!”
