“Highly recommended and gave my dogs a home from home experience. Shelby looked after my two dogs for two nights and we were updated lots with photos of them playing, out on walks and snuggled up with Shelby. We were put at ease straight away when we met them before boarding and this trust and care for our dogs continued with excellent communication before, during and after the boarding experience. We will definitely trust and use them again. Thank you so much guys.”
“We had an amazing experience from start to finish with Lucy. Our frenchie, Nellie, had the best time staying with her and was incredibly well looked after. We really appreciated the photos and updates every day. We could tell Nellie felt at home and at ease staying with Lucy. I would definitely recommend her to anyone wanting their dog to stay in a loving home while you’re away and we have already recommended her to family and friends!!”
“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!”
“Meisha was absolutely brilliant! She booked a meet and greet for us, and her and Freddy hit it off from the start. We fully trusted Meisha, and Freddy felt so at home there - he even got to visit her family which was super sweet, a real “one of the family” feeling. She went above and beyond to make Freddy comfortable and stick to his usual routines, and knew everything about him (we really appreciated it and knew he was in safe hands). We’ll definitely book Meisha again - can’t thank her enough! x”
“Karen was a perfect person to care for our Border Collie, Siân. She has a wealth of experience with and understanding of dogs, but she is also very kind, welcoming and accommodating. She really took care to think what would be best for Siân. Moreover, we really enjoyed meeting Karen and wish we lived closer to be able to have her as a regular person in our and Siân's lives!”
“I would 1000% recommend anyone to choose Ellie to look after their dogs. She’s an absolute angel and you can really tell she loves looking after them, both Ellie and Liam took amazing care of my dog and treated her like their own, we also received regular updates on how she was doing as well as picture and videos which was really sweet. We couldn’t have asked for more and will definitely use her again and again 🫶🏼🐶”
“I was more than happy with the service provided by Meg in looking after my terrier at such short notice. The house and facilities were perfect and the regular updates put me at ease. Thank you for looking after my dog.”
“Fabiana is a fanatic host. It's clear that she pays a lot of attention to each individual dog and their needs. She took the time to get to know our dog and made sure he was introduced nicely to her own dog, home and family. Our dog had a great time and we'll be booking again with Fabiana soon!”
About: Dogs are the most wonderful animal on the planet. I have recently been offering home stays for friends and family and it's been lovely having those cheeky face around my house. So I've decided to offer my dog loving home to your fury family. They will be treated like royalty. I am at home most days so your lovely dog will have lots of company. Dog stays will include nice walks in the county side and lots of love and cuddles. I can Taylor my day to meet their needs. I also visit my mum who is an animal lover so your pet will visit her too if booked in on those days. (Your dog needs to travel well in a car) I have a nice sized fenced garden so you dog will have plenty of space. I'm home all day and on nice weather days the door to the garden is left open so your lovely dog can come and go as they please.
“Many thanks to Yvonne for caring for Rosie so well over the weekend. It’s the first time Rosie has stayed there . I was nervous as Rosie is a miniature dachshund and is a real Mummy’s girl . But Yvonne invited us to her house for a couple of visits before I finally left Rosie . The stay went wonderfully, with lots of photos of Rosie having cuddles and belly rubs . Thanks Yvonne , Rosie will become a regular visitor xx”
“Amazing skye loved her time with Tracy and family she was so happy. I got regular updates and photos and videos. It was like home from home and would definitely use Tracy again thankyou”
“Danielle looked after our dog whilst she was recovering from surgery. Her place is ideal if your dog requires something quieter, she listened to our dogs requirements and communicated well.”
“My German Shepherd Ava had a great time and I got the impression should could have stayed longer. Can't do better than that! Simone was great and sent me pictures of Ava to ease our mind whilst we were on holiday. I would use Simone again without question as I know Ava would be happy.”
“Megan has looked after Lola a couple times now and she always comes home a happy girl. Megan keeps us up to date regularly and replies quickly, she sends picture updates to reassure us if we have any questions or just want to check in on how Lola is. Highly recommend using Megan is you’re in the Sheffield area, she is fantastic!”
“Emily was fantastic with our Labrador. He got on really well with the host dogs and was very happy. Emily is brilliant at communicating and providing picture updates. Thank you so much!”
“From the very beginning, Isabel and Spencer were kind, reassuring and genuinely caring. They took the time to understand Rock’s needs and treated him with so much love and patience, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It was great for Rock to have the opportunity to stay with another dog. He and Sonny got on really well, and it was lovely to know he had such good company during his stay. We’re sure Rock had a wonderful little holiday of his own! Thank you both for looking after him as if he were part of your family. We are so grateful for everything you did and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you to anyone looking for exceptional dog sitters. We hope Rock gets to see you all again soon!”
About: I’ve owned and lived with dogs my whole life, and have plenty of experience looking after dogs for family and friends over the years. I’m most experienced with small to medium-sized breeds, but I’m also very comfortable around larger dogs. I have my own Labradoodle, Bear, at home, so I’m used to the everyday responsibilities of caring for a dog and understand that every dog has their own personality, routine and needs. I’m an active person and love getting out for walks or runs and exploring with the dogs in my care. Whether they’re looking for a long walk and plenty of exercise or are happier taking things at a slower pace, I’m happy to adapt to what suits them. For me, looking after a dog is about more than simply keeping them safe. I want them to feel comfortable, settled and part of the family while they’re with me, with plenty of attention, play and affection along the way. When your dog stays with us, they’ll be treated as part of the family and won’t be left on their own for long periods. My wife and I both work on a hybrid basis, so there will always be someone at home. We’ll only accept a booking when one of us is available to be there. We’re both active and enjoy getting out with the dogs, so you can expect regular walks throughout the day — usually in the morning, around midday and again in the afternoon. We have plenty of nearby fields, woodland and open spaces, giving us lots of opportunities for longer walks and exploring. There’s also regular access to our garden for some fresh air, playtime or simply relaxing outside. Bear will usually join us for walks and play, giving dogs the opportunity to have a companion during their stay. Of course, we’ll always take introductions at the dogs’ own pace and can keep them separated if that’s more comfortable or preferred. For overnight stays, your dog will be welcome to sleep with Bear, or we can provide a separate space if they prefer their own space or need to be kept apart. Your dog’s safety and wellbeing will always be our priority. We have a completely secure garden, with plenty of space for dogs to enjoy some fresh air and play safely. Dogs will usually spend time with Bear, including on walks and around the house. Bear is incredibly soft and sweet natured. But we do understand that not every dog will be comfortable living alongside another dog. We’re able to keep dogs separated whenever needed or preferred, and we’ll always take introductions slowly and follow your dog’s temperament and routine. We also have the flexibility to use a crate or a large, covered area that can be fully enclosed, giving dogs a safe and comfortable space of their own when they need some quiet time. Above all, we’re responsible, sensible and professional people who genuinely love dogs. We’ll take the time to understand your dog, follow the instructions you leave us and make sure they’re safe, happy and well cared for throughout their stay.
“Kristel was warm and welcoming host to Harriet and Milo, kept me updated throughout the stay and sent lots of photos and videos :) Will use their services again and recommend. Thank you.”

“Lucy was absolutely brilliant while looking after my cat. From the moment we got in touch, her communication was spot on – always quick to reply and super friendly. While I was away, she sent regular updates and plenty of photos. I’d definitely recommend Lucy to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet-sitter. Will 100% be asking her again next time I’m away.”
“We are so grateful to Melanie for her care for our cat Willow. Willow hadn’t been very well and we were anxious about leaving her. We needn’t have worried, we came home to a very happy cat. The reports and photos after every visit were reassuring and much appreciated. We will definitely ask Melanie to care for Willow again.”
“We have booked Katie for the first time, on a last minute situation. She was replying very quickly and we got sorted in about 30mins. Our cats loved her and we got loads of photos showing that they eat, play and getting fuss. Katie is very easygoing and friendly and we’re happy we found her! Thank you Katie and probably see you next time!💜”
About: I’m a reliable and caring cat sitter with a lifelong love for cats. Having grown up surrounded by cats and currently owning one myself, I understand their unique personalities, routines, and needs. I’m experienced in feeding, litter care, playtime, and giving cats the patience and attention they deserve-whether they’re energetic or more reserved. I know how important it is for cats to feel safe and comfortable in their own environment, so I always aim to keep their routine as consistent as possible while providing plenty of affection and companionship. You can trust that your cat will be well looked after, happy, and stress-free while you’re away.
“Sharon was amazing! She really took her time and gave our cat, Boris a great fuss and made sure he was so well looked after whilst we were away for the weekend. She sent lots of pictures and such a detailed message from each visit to him! She really made us feel completely at ease, I would recommend her to anyone! Will definitely be booking again xx”
“Emily is absolutely brilliant. She came over to the house on advance to meet us and our cat and during our trip kept us updated with regular messages, photos and videos which really helps to reassure you that everything is OK with your cat. Nothing was too much for Emily and we have already booked here again! FIVE STAR SERVICE”
About: Hi! 😊 I'm a lifelong dog lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments—including rescue dogs with complex needs. My partner and I share a calm, loving home with our own dog, Marnie, a medium-sized rescue who we adore. We spend most of our time with her and love including the dogs we care for in our everyday activities—whether that’s exploring new walking routes, relaxing at home, or discovering fun dog-friendly spots. I understand that every dog is unique, and were committed to providing care that’s tailored specifically to your dog’s needs and routines. If your dog is crate trained, we have a clean, comfortable crate available. If they’re used to being on furniture, they’re welcome to make themselves at home here. Sleeping arrangements are flexible too—dogs are welcome to sleep upstairs with us, downstairs, or in their crate depending on what works best for them (and you). I will work around you as best as I can, please just let me know what your dog needs so we can tailor our day to them. I take into account the needs of your dog whether that be that they want to be closer to me or they want space. I am happy to let them on furniture or if you would rather they don’t I will go by your wants and needs. My dog is part of the family and sticks by my side. We have a completely enclosed back garden for toilet breaks & play. We have a front drive but don’t let dogs onto it if not on a leash. I live in a quiet and calm area with a close by park for lots of walks. It is just me & my partner in the house so very little noise. Snacks & cuddles are frequent!

“Katie was very friendly, polite and gave brilliant updates. Katie followed all of the instructions given. Cats were very settled when we came home which is a great sign! Would not hesitate to book Katie's time again.”
“Lauren dropped in for an hour each day to sit with my cats whilst we were on holiday, the service she provided was excellent and I appreciated getting daily updates and photos. I highly recommend her and will be definitely using her services in the future.”
“I have always used kennels when going away but thought I would try home visits and walking service instead to see how it goes. We'll I am very impressed after booking Athina services she came to our house prior to discuss things further and to meet Milo. This put us at ease straightaway and gave us peace of mind. Athina was always on time and would keep you updated with feed/water and toilet times during the visit. When booking Athina would keep in touch to make sure everything was in place and on schedule before the visits, great service and will be using her services again.”
“Fabiana is so kind and professional; our dog is quite anxious around new people in our home and Fabiana has been very assertive this week, getting to know Lara before her drop in sessions. We’ll definitely be using Fabiana again ❤️🐕”
About: I’ve had cats since I was about 3 or 4, so I’ve pretty much always been around them. I’m used to feeding them, changing water, sorting litter trays, playing with them and just letting them do their own thing when that’s what they prefer. I know every cat is different, so I’ll keep to their normal routine and make sure they’re looked after properly while you’re away. I’ll treat your home with respect and your cat like one of my own.
About: I have worked with my mum in her cat sitting business for several years and also have a cat of my own. I am able to administer medications if needed (this would need to be discussed at meet and greet), happy to empty a litter tray as often as you would like (skipping daily), happy to play with your cat(s) if that's what they want or just admire from a distance. Can also water plants/put bins out etc, just ask :)
“I needed care for my cat with short notice due to a last minute trip, Sophie replied quickly and arranged a meet and greet. I was very anxious as it’s the first time I’ve left my cat home alone and she can be quite shy. I needn’t have worried, Sophie was fantastic. She was reliable, followed my care instructions, gave lots of updates and pictures, and most importantly provided my cat with plenty of play and fuss! I’m very happy with the service received, highly recommend and will be a returning customer ☺️ thank you again Sophie for your wonderful care of Greta”

About: I have experience of looking after 7 golden retrievers at one time. I love walking and have a clean and safe home which is dog friendly. I am not currently working so have lots of free time to look after your pets. I am not available some weekends but am free most days in the week and every other weekend. I am willing to administer any care needed for your dog. I am willing to look after your pet overnight as well as in the day
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!
“Really happy that I’ve found Meisha, I will definitely rebook, it was good to hear that he settled and from the photos it looks as though he made himself at home. It was a good sign that he ran straight in when I got him out of the car. Very happy to have left Steve in good hands x”
“Another wonderful day with Tracy and her family 😊 he really is so happy to be there, so happy in fact that I struggled to get him to come home!! Can't recommend highly enough, it's like leaving him with family 🥰”
“Buddy is a very anxious and needy dog and he’s never been left with someone he doesn’t know. Janice was very patient with him and by the end his stay he was comfortable enough to sit on the settee with her! She kept me informed throughout the day and I feel very reassured for his week long stay with her next week 😊”
“Thanks for looking after Jasper for the day. He’s somewhat of a neurotic spaniel but seemed to settle straight away and was very calm (for his standards) when we came to pick him up. Thanks again.”
About: We’ve both been around dogs our entire lives and have experience caring for a variety of breeds, sizes, and personalities. Ryan grew up with a Husky and a Border Collie, giving him hands-on experience with energetic, intelligent dogs that require plenty of exercise, training, and attention. Over the years, he’s also spent time around many other breeds and is comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes. Esmeralda has also grown up with dogs and currently cares for her 8-year-old Chow Chow, giving her ongoing experience with daily routines, grooming, exercise, and understanding a dog’s individual needs. We also leave our Chow Chow with sitters when we’re away, so we understand the process from a dog owner’s perspective and know how important it is to feel confident that your pet is in good hands. Together, we’re confident caring for dogs with different personalities and energy levels. We know how important it is to keep your dog happy, safe, and comfortable while you’re away, and we’ll treat them with the same lovec and care we’d give our own pets. Pets fit naturally into our daily routine, and someone is always home to give them the attention and care they deserve. Ryan is self-employed, which gives him the flexibility to work around the dogs’ needs, whether that’s walks, playtime, feeding, or sticking to their usual routine. Esmeralda is a stay-at-home parent to our 6-year-old, so apart from the school run during the week and football activities at weekends, she’s at home throughout the day. This means your dog will rarely be left alone and will enjoy plenty of companionship, exercise, toilet breaks, and affection. We understand how important it is for dogs to feel settled and cared for, so we’ll make sure they receive lots of love and attention while they’re with us. Safety, Trust & Environment Your dog’s safety and comfort are our top priorities. We provide a calm, secure, and loving home where pets are treated like part of the family. We have a secure, fenced garden in a quiet estate with only six houses, giving a safe and peaceful environment for dogs to relax and play. We’re also very lucky to have a park just 10 seconds away, which makes daily walks and exercise easy, fun, and consistent. We also have our own dog, Dita, our friendly 8-year-old Chow Chow, who is calm, well-behaved, and used to having other dogs around. This helps create a relaxed and social home environment for visiting dogs. Our home is a safe, family-friendly environment where dogs are supervised throughout the day. We always take care to follow each dog’s individual routine and any instructions you provide, including feeding, walking, medication, and comfort needs. We believe trust is built through communication, so we’re always happy to send updates, photos, and messages so you can see how your dog is getting on while you’re away. With Ryan’s flexible self-employed schedule and Esmeralda being home for most of the day, your dog will have consistent supervision, companionship, and care in a relaxed home environment.

“George took excellent care of Dixie during her day with him. He sent many pictures to reassure us she was happy and settled. This was Dixie’s first day away from us so we were a little nervous but there was absolutely no need to be. We were held up leaving Tramlines due to the traffic and ended up being 45 mins late to pick Dixie up. George was very patient and kind, waiting up for us to pick her up. Thank you George, Lemmy and family for your wonderful care of our dog!”

I’m able to be flexible with timings and make sure dogs get the exercise, attention, and care they need. I live in the quiet community of Dore, that has easy accessible walking paths and parks. My flat is the end of a cul-de-sac and has a garden and large car park for quick pee breaks. My flat is very spacious and with plenty of open play space!

About: I have lived with dogs since I was 10 years old. We are a family of dog lovers and our dogs are our babies. I have now been dog sitting with my partner since November and we have cared for multiple dogs needing different levels of care. We have received multiple bookings and positive feedback from all of our clients. We have our own dog who we care for and walk every day. We have lots of ideas of dog walks and also know what it is like to care for a reactive dog as our dog can be anxious around other dogs. I provide regular updates to you as an owner as I know how important this is for you. Every dog we have cared for has become part of our family for the short time we’ve had them and we always miss them and hope to see them again soon! I am looking to earn some extra money pet sitting and dog walking. As I am a primary school teacher this is something that me and my partner are able to do on evenings, weekends or school holidays. We are eager to fit in pet care at weekends and school holidays as it is something we really enjoying doing. We can care for dogs in our own home due to our dog being reactive he would not be in our home and would be cared for by my partner’s mum who shares the dog with us at her home. We treat your dog like our own and the safety of your pet is of paramount importance. We always think about how we would want someone to care for our dog when caring for your pets. Our pets are our babies and when your pet stays with us we welcome them in as a member of our family.
About: I’ve grown up with pets my whole life and have experience caring for dogs, cats and small pets. I’ve helped look after family pets including dog walking, feeding, cleaning and general care. I’m calm, reliable and attentive, and as a student nurse I’m used to being responsible and following routines carefully. I’m happy to send regular updates and photos so owners feel reassured. I’m a student nurse and my weekly schedule can vary, but I’m very flexible and always happy to work around your pet’s routine where possible. I currently work weekends (10–6), however I’m often available on weekdays and evenings for dog walks and drop-in visits. I’m also happy to discuss regular weekly bookings or last-minute requests depending on availability. When caring for pets, I always prioritise safety, routine and comfort. I’m careful to follow any instructions provided, including feeding routines, lead preferences and house rules. I’m confident walking dogs safely on leads and will avoid unsafe areas or off-lead walking unless requested and agreed. During drop-in visits I will ensure your pet has fresh water, food, playtime and attention, and I’ll always make sure your home is left secure. I’m happy to send regular photo updates for reassurance.
“Fabiana is fantastic! I have a rescue who has a few behavioural issues but Fabiana really took the time to understand her and make sure we all felt comfortable. She is so gentle and thorough and kept me updated throughout with pictures and videos. Penny can't wait to see her again!”
“We was away for 3 days and Athina walked our dog Milo whilst we was away. Athina would keep me updated on how each walk went and also sent pictures and a route of where they had walked. Athina was always on time and looks like Athina and Milo had known each other for years. Would really recommend her services.”

About: Hi, I am Natalie I have a little Tibetan Spaniel called Bella, she is a massive part of our family and there is never a dull moment when she is around.

I have owned hamsters, guinea pigs, rabbits, budgies and dogs. I love hiking, yoga and swimming.

About: I am a compassionate, lifetime dog lover with extensive experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages and temperaments. Having recently cared for my own rescue dog until she passed at age 13, I am experienced in managing care needs—including mobility challenges, incontinence, and daily medication routines for senior pets. I understand how much gentleness, patience and attentiveness care rescue dogs need to feel safe and comfortable. My Experience & Skills = Professional Sitting: Previous experience as a professional nanny looking after family pets alongside children, as well as paid standalone pet sitting. All Sizes & Handling: Comfortable handling both small breeds and big, strong dogs who pull or walk rough on a leash. Flexible Schedule: I work remotely, meaning I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability during the day to keep your pets company, stick to feeding schedules, and give them the attention they deserve. I treat every dog with the same level of love and devotion as I treated my own, I miss her ever so much and would like somewhere to put some of that love and dedication now. I work remotely on my laptop with a highly flexible schedule, allowing me to easily fit pet care around my day. Because I can work from anywhere with Wi-Fi, I can stay at your home for house sitting without disturbing your pet's normal routine. I’m available for daytime drop-in visits, mid-day walks, and overnight stays, with complete freedom to give your pets frequent attention, play, and scheduled check-ins throughout the day. My priority is keeping your pets comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. I treat every client's home with absolute respect, keeping it clean, secure, and quiet and have extensive experience doing this from my many years as a private nanny. I strictly follow your safety rules—whether that's double-checking gates and doors, managing leash safety during walks, adhering to precise feeding and medication instructions, or keeping a close eye on open windows for cats. Living alone and working remotely means I can provide focused, undivided attention and peace of mind while you're away.
About: I grew up with dogs in our household and for the last 20 years I've had my own dogs but lost my last one, Sanza, a Toy Poodle, in June 2025. I dog sit two Dachshund sisters aged 15 regularly and enjoy it very much. I love dogs and would treat your dogs as if they were my own. Your pet's comfort, happiness and safety is my priority. I have experience of giving medication via injection as my dog was diabetic and had to have insulin injections twice a day as well as oral medication. I also have experience of looking after senior dogs as I have cared for dogs who are 14 and 15 years old. I am available to look after your dogs in my home or at your home so they have as little disruption to their routine as possible. I am retired so I'am at home all day so can look after your pets whenever you need me. I'm very flexible and can adjust my schedule to fit in around your needs. I have an enclosed garden which is fully fenced/ brick wall. The garden is very secure. I live in a semi detached bungalow so there are no stairs to climb. I have lots of toys for your dogs to play with. I am available to look after them in their own home or at my home. I am retired so I am around all the time to look after your dogs. I prefer to look after small dogs but will look after medium sized dogs as long as they walk well on the lead as I walk with a crutch so can't manage to walk large dogs who pull or lunge too strongly when they react to other dogs. I do not look after large dogs for safety reasons.
About: I’ve cared for a wide range of pets over the years and I studied Animal Management. I’m fully insured and DBS checked, so you can feel confident that your pets are in safe and responsible hands. At home, I have my own energetic Husky, so I’m very used to larger, strong and high energy dogs! I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all shapes, sizes and personalities, and puppies are very welcome too. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. I’ll always treat them with the same care and attention I’d want for my own, making sure they’re happy, comfortable and getting plenty of fuss, enrichment and attention while they’re with me. I love keeping owners updated, so you can expect regular messages and plenty of photos from walks and visits, because I know how reassuring it is to see that your pets are happy and settled! Alongside dog walking, I’m also very happy caring for cats and small animals. For all new clients, I like to arrange a meet and greet before the first walk or visit. This gives me the chance to meet you and your pet, learn about their routine, personality and any individual needs, and make sure everyone feels completely comfortable before their first booking. I’m reliable, caring and genuinely love what I do. Every pet is different, and I’m more than happy to tailor their care around what makes them happiest. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile. I’d love to meet you and your furry family members! 🐾💚 Please message me for my schedule. I offer dog walks, home visits and evening/overnight stays in your home. Dog walks - 30 mins £15, 60 mins £20 Home visits - 30 mins £12, 60 mins £18 Evening sits (approx 4 hours) - £15 per hour Overnight sits - £55 In your home, I’m happy to take on whatever care your furry friend needs - toilet breaks, crate training, playing and feeding. If you need plants watering etc. I'm happy to do that too.
“Ryan and Esmerelda looked after my boy for a couple of days when I had to go into work and they were fab. I was a nervous first time Rover user so they were kind enough to pop by to meet Milo beforehand. Very punctual and reliable, received updates and photos which was appreciated and Milo loved his walks and cuddles. I’d definitely book them again if I needed help with Milo in future.”

“Highly recommended and gave my dogs a home from home experience. Shelby looked after my two dogs for two nights and we were updated lots with photos of them playing, out on walks and snuggled up with Shelby. We were put at ease straight away when we met them before boarding and this trust and care for our dogs continued with excellent communication before, during and after the boarding experience. We will definitely trust and use them again. Thank you so much guys.”
“We had an amazing experience from start to finish with Lucy. Our frenchie, Nellie, had the best time staying with her and was incredibly well looked after. We really appreciated the photos and updates every day. We could tell Nellie felt at home and at ease staying with Lucy. I would definitely recommend her to anyone wanting their dog to stay in a loving home while you’re away and we have already recommended her to family and friends!!”
“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!”
“Meisha was absolutely brilliant! She booked a meet and greet for us, and her and Freddy hit it off from the start. We fully trusted Meisha, and Freddy felt so at home there - he even got to visit her family which was super sweet, a real “one of the family” feeling. She went above and beyond to make Freddy comfortable and stick to his usual routines, and knew everything about him (we really appreciated it and knew he was in safe hands). We’ll definitely book Meisha again - can’t thank her enough! x”
“I was more than happy with the service provided by Meg in looking after my terrier at such short notice. The house and facilities were perfect and the regular updates put me at ease. Thank you for looking after my dog.”
“Amazing skye loved her time with Tracy and family she was so happy. I got regular updates and photos and videos. It was like home from home and would definitely use Tracy again thankyou”
“My German Shepherd Ava had a great time and I got the impression should could have stayed longer. Can't do better than that! Simone was great and sent me pictures of Ava to ease our mind whilst we were on holiday. I would use Simone again without question as I know Ava would be happy.”
“Megan has looked after Lola a couple times now and she always comes home a happy girl. Megan keeps us up to date regularly and replies quickly, she sends picture updates to reassure us if we have any questions or just want to check in on how Lola is. Highly recommend using Megan is you’re in the Sheffield area, she is fantastic!”
“Emily was fantastic with our Labrador. He got on really well with the host dogs and was very happy. Emily is brilliant at communicating and providing picture updates. Thank you so much!”
“Kristel was warm and welcoming host to Harriet and Milo, kept me updated throughout the stay and sent lots of photos and videos :) Will use their services again and recommend. Thank you.”

About: I have had experience with cats and dogs on and off my whole life. I had a cat (Tinkerbell) when I was younger and more recently my brother and sister in law gained three beautiful dogs ( two cavapoos and a dachshund) a tortoise called Sheldon and 5 chickens. I have helped look after all these for them and I absolutely love it .I would love my own dog but can't at present due to work/family commitments. However I would love to take care of one in my free time. I live alone majority of the time, but co parent my children. The availability I offer is based on work and my child free days. My hobbies are walking, reading and spending time with my partner and friends. Im Very excited and can't wait to meet your beloved doggies ☺️ I work from home on a Thursday and Friday so these and the weekend would be the days I would be mostly available. I have a lunch break and will work downstairs so I can attend to the animals needs and extra cuddles ☺️ I own my home and have no pets currently. I share custody of my three daughters but the availability will be based on when I don't have them. I have a fenced garden and plenty of indoor space for them. I'm not a ornament/trinket kind of gal so they have pretty much free reign downstairs and outside.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and cats since I was 6 and have always loved being around animals. Over the years, I’ve regularly looked after pets for friends and family, from feeding and walks to playtime and keeping them company. It’s actually looking after their pets that gave me the idea to start pet sitting for others. I’m also a pet owner myself and have had my two cats for the past two years. I make sure they have everything they need, including fresh water, stimulating toys and an automatic feeder. My cats can also be kept completely separate from any pets I look after, so every animal can have their own comfortable space and feel happy and settled. I’m naturally caring and attentive and would treat every pet in my care as if they were my own. I currently part-time and do university, so quite flexible with my schedule.I am completely free on weekends also. I also live with my partner, who is a huge animal lover and can help with care when needed. We can offer a flexible routine with plenty of attention, play and company for your pet. I’m very happy to look after both cats and dogs. I’ve grown up around both and regularly care for dogs through friends and family, so I’m comfortable with their different needs, routines and personalities. I live in a two-bedroom flat where my two cats have their own separate room, so visiting pets can have the rest of the home to themselves without needing to share space with my cats. I take a lot of care with my own cats, including providing a water fountain, multiple food and water bowls, an automatic feeder, wet food twice a day, interactive toys, dental sticks and plenty of treats. I also have a cat tree, cooling mat and a pet camera so I can keep an eye on them when I’m at work. I even put bird and wildlife programmes on the TV for them as they love watching them! I’m very happy to provide the same level of care and attention to visiting pets and make sure they feel safe, comfortable and entertained.
About: We’ve both been around dogs our entire lives and have experience caring for a variety of breeds, sizes, and personalities. Ryan grew up with a Husky and a Border Collie, giving him hands-on experience with energetic, intelligent dogs that require plenty of exercise, training, and attention. Over the years, he’s also spent time around many other breeds and is comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes. Esmeralda has also grown up with dogs and currently cares for her 8-year-old Chow Chow, giving her ongoing experience with daily routines, grooming, exercise, and understanding a dog’s individual needs. We also leave our Chow Chow with sitters when we’re away, so we understand the process from a dog owner’s perspective and know how important it is to feel confident that your pet is in good hands. Together, we’re confident caring for dogs with different personalities and energy levels. We know how important it is to keep your dog happy, safe, and comfortable while you’re away, and we’ll treat them with the same lovec and care we’d give our own pets. Pets fit naturally into our daily routine, and someone is always home to give them the attention and care they deserve. Ryan is self-employed, which gives him the flexibility to work around the dogs’ needs, whether that’s walks, playtime, feeding, or sticking to their usual routine. Esmeralda is a stay-at-home parent to our 6-year-old, so apart from the school run during the week and football activities at weekends, she’s at home throughout the day. This means your dog will rarely be left alone and will enjoy plenty of companionship, exercise, toilet breaks, and affection. We understand how important it is for dogs to feel settled and cared for, so we’ll make sure they receive lots of love and attention while they’re with us. Safety, Trust & Environment Your dog’s safety and comfort are our top priorities. We provide a calm, secure, and loving home where pets are treated like part of the family. We have a secure, fenced garden in a quiet estate with only six houses, giving a safe and peaceful environment for dogs to relax and play. We’re also very lucky to have a park just 10 seconds away, which makes daily walks and exercise easy, fun, and consistent. We also have our own dog, Dita, our friendly 8-year-old Chow Chow, who is calm, well-behaved, and used to having other dogs around. This helps create a relaxed and social home environment for visiting dogs. Our home is a safe, family-friendly environment where dogs are supervised throughout the day. We always take care to follow each dog’s individual routine and any instructions you provide, including feeding, walking, medication, and comfort needs. We believe trust is built through communication, so we’re always happy to send updates, photos, and messages so you can see how your dog is getting on while you’re away. With Ryan’s flexible self-employed schedule and Esmeralda being home for most of the day, your dog will have consistent supervision, companionship, and care in a relaxed home environment.

“This was my first using Rover and subsequently George and Rebecca. I was a little anxious as we we have only had our rescue Doberman 6 months and this isn’t our usual boarder. We also have a GSD who is used to boarding so no worries with her. We met with George and Lemmy initially and the dogs all got on fantastic, we left the dogs with them for 10 days and we got updates daily, pictures of their amazing walks and routines. I found that very reassuring and they looked like they were just in their own home. Our Dobe is raw fed and this was no trouble. Will definitely leave Lando and Luna with George and Rebecca, no hesitation. Very much appreciated, thank you Sarah, Andy, Luna and Lando”
About: I’ve always been a huge animal lover and have grown up with dogs throughout my life, including Bruno the Alsatian, Smudge the Lurcher, Carter the Husky and Finley the Working Cocker Spaniel. Having cared for dogs with very different personalities, sizes and energy levels, I’m confident with everything from energetic walks and playtime to quieter dogs who simply want company and affection. Aaron grew up with family cats, Nigel and Jess, and has also regularly cared for dogs belonging to family and friends. Between us, we have lots of hands-on experience with both dogs and cats and genuinely enjoy making pets feel comfortable, settled and loved while their owners are away. We know how important it is to trust the people looking after your pet, so we’ll always follow their usual routine, give them plenty of attention and keep you updated so you can relax knowing they’re being well cared for. Pet care fits really naturally into our routine. I work hybrid, while Aaron works full time from home, so there is always someone around to provide company, attention, regular walks and bathroom breaks. Between us, we make sure pets are have plenty of time for play, cuddles, walks and their usual routine. Your pet’s safety, comfort and routine will always come first. We provide a calm, clean and welcoming home where pets are treated like part of the family, with plenty of supervision, attention and affection throughout their stay. We have a fully fenced garden, tall enough to ensure your pets safety. We’ll follow your instructions closely around feeding, walks, sleeping arrangements, medication and any individual needs or boundaries. We’re also happy to send regular photos and updates, so you can relax knowing your pet is settled, comfortable and being genuinely well cared for.
