“Shelby and her partner were incredible with Ava! Gave us plenty of updates and Ava was so relaxed and happy with them. Will definitely book again when we next need a dog sitter. Thanks guys.”
“I recently, at quite short notice, needed a dog sitter for a few days over the weekend. I’ve used the app for day care before but this was my first time looking for an overnight, stay and was a couple of nights. A little anxious about leaving my beloved pet in a strange environment, I used the app and after reading the reviews, I felt confident to ask. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Meeting up beforehand in a relaxed, local park, I felt at ease and knew Doris was going to be in safe hands. Drop off and collection were seamless, she had a lovely stay over and was treated like a member of the family. Lucy provided updates and pictures which put my mind at rest, I can’t thank her enough.”
“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!”
“I can’t recommend Sue highly enough. Sue has been amazing with Rufus from the moment he walked into her home. I have had so many photos, videos, and messages keeping me updated as to how he’s getting on. It’s been lovely to see. Sue is so caring and I felt like Rufus was cared for with lots of love and care from start to finish. Sue is a gem and we will most certainly be using her dog sitting services again. Rufus will miss her”
“Absolutely outstanding dog sitter. Diego was so well looked after and cared for throughout. I received constant messages, photos and videos which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. You can genuinely see the love and attention given to him, and I could not have wished for a better person to look after my dog. Highly recommended and I would not hesitate to use again.”
“Booked Steve in for a 1st stay with someone other than family. Really happy with the home from home service Ruby provided and have booked him in for a weeks stay. Overall extremely happy with everything.”
“I will most definitely be booking Tracey again. I felt so relaxed knowing he was being so well cared for. Tracy sent me regular updates and photos, and Sidney looks like he had such a lovely day.”
“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”
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!
“Karen was an amazing dog sitter, so lovely and could tell they made our dog very comfortable. Really took the time to get to know our dog and what helps them feel safe and happy. Would highly recommend.”
“Megan and her partner were great with Patch. He had an amazing time and settled really well into their environment. Both very experienced and with this being Patch’s first time we were a little nervous however they reassured us and kept us up to date and there were no issues at all. We loved that they were both relaxed and delivered a 5 star service. We’ll definitely be using them again.”
“Danielle had a great rapport with Phife straightaway at our meet up before the booking, so when it came to our weekend away we felt really comfortable and it all went well for Phife, communication was great too!”
“Clyde had a lovely time and obviously felt very at home! Came back relaxed and happy which is not how I imagine he would have been had he been in a Kennel! Thanks again will be sure to book Clyde in for another stay!”
“Larna and Rich have been fantastic looking after Ava. We were gone for 8 days on holiday and I was sent daily photos and updates. From all of the photos, I could see how content Ava was which really put my mind at rest so we could enjoy our family holiday. I have used Larna before this but will reach out to her yet again when we next need a dog sitter. Fully recommend.”
About: I have over 5 years of experience caring for dogs and am a huge dog lover. I’ve regularly looked after dogs for friends and family, including my friend’s dog and my auntie’s dog, who I care for quite often. Through this experience, I’ve become confident handling dogs of all different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I absolutely love spending time with dogs and enjoy taking them on walks, playing with them, cuddles and making sure they feel happy. Whether it’s a long walk, some company during the day, or lots of attention and affection, I treat every dog as if they were my own I work from home full time so happy to care and be around for your dogs with my flexible schedule🐶 I have the time to pop over, go on walks or a have your dog for a sleepover most days 🐾 I live in a detached house with a good sized fenced garden! It is 3 storey so there is stairs to consider if your dog likes to sleep upstairs, but plenty of rooms and space if your dog likes sleeping elsewhere. I live near lots of walking trails, fields, woods, and swimming spots! I don’t have any other pets and live with my boyfriend who also absolutely loves dogs too.
About: I currently own a 2 year old Beagle cross/Springer Spaniel so as you can imagine he needs lots of exercise and loves to socialise with other dogs. We go on 2 walks a day, these include off lead experiences in fields/woods and lead walks on the canal or visits to local trails and parks. We did attend a puppy training class once a week in which we’ve learnt several skills including recall, heal and usual tricks such as sit, lay and wait. I work full time from home Monday-Friday and can visit on weekends. Happy to visit pets in their home or they can stay with us if they get on well with other dogs I’m happy to care for your pets in your home at your request whether this includes feeding, spending time with them or letting them out for potty time.
“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!”
“Nichola was exceptional! She was incredibly accommodating when I was abroad and had to arrange dropping Ruby off through my boyfriend. I got lots of updates and Nichola even took her to the pet store to pick out a chew. Ruby didn’t want to leave in the end!”

“Nicola regularly walks our sausage dog Clive , she is very reliable and always so lovely. We feel very lucky to have Nicola and Clive loves her! Clive has recently had surgery which has meant there’s been lots of extra requests we have had for Nicola during her visits and she has been so kind and accommodating every time! We cannot recommend Nicola enough!”
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.
“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.”
“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: I adopted a rescue German Shepherd cross 2 years ago and trained him from 5 months old. I love all animals and feel they should have the chance to live life to the fullest. With me your dog will have adventures, fun walks and play, socialisation with my dog, and a cosy place to relax. I am a full time dog walker and boarder. I provide solo and group walks, day care and boarding to give you peace of mind and your dog the best experience. I have a fenced garden and lovely walks along the canal. Merlin (my dog) is here to keep your fur baby company. I have separate rooms for if your dog needs some space. Dogs are allowed on furniture for cuddles and lots of treats and toys for fetch, tug and chewing.
“Melanies support in caring for my cat was fantastic, she attended each booking promptly and demonstrated care and respect in trying to optimise my cats wellbeing, often having to employ extraordinary strategies to encourage my cat to engage. Melanie sent reassuring messages and photos regards each visit. I would not hesitate in recommending Melanie to my friends and colleagues, fingers crossed that she will be available when next I need her service, cheers Melanie”
“Meg looked after Rocky as a drop in over this weekend. Meg communicated to us during the visit & sent photos of a very relaxed dog. Feel very confident with Meg for her next booking which is overnight with Rocky.”
“I highly recommend Larna. She was wonderful with my border collie and very patient with her , my pup is only 4 months old so as you can imagine she is extremely giddy 😆 and gets very excited around everyone especially new people. Larna came by for a drop in visit beforehand to meet Aurora, I felt confident everything would go well for their first walk. Aurora was very good for Larna although she does pull . Aurora is in the middle of training and Larna was continuing to follow through demand training. Thank you Larna”
About: We’ve had cats all our life. Our cat is 16 years and our last cat was 19. Happy life, happy cats. Super care given. Over our married life of 35 years we've had 3 cats and we also both had cats in our childhood. My family cat was called Lucky and she was 19 when we lost her. We are both happy to take care of your special cats or other small pets
About: Having worked in an animal charity and currently completing my degree in animal care at university, I have a wide range of knowledge and experience caring for cats. I am able to drop in, feed, play and do any litter tray changes required for your cat. I will treat them with the same love and care as I do with my own animals!
About: I’ve been lucky enough to spend my life surrounded by animals of all shapes and sizes – from playful pups and cuddly cats to tropical fish, and even bees! 🐝 Animals have always been a huge part of my world, and caring for them comes naturally to me. I have hands-on experience looking after dogs, cats, and fish. I’ve also trained my own dogs, which means I understand how important patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement are. Whether it’s a puppy learning the ropes, or an older dog who needs a gentler pace, I adapt to each animal’s unique needs. With bees, I’ve learned the importance of calm handling, respect, and attentiveness – skills I bring to all the pets I care for. Safety, trust, and making sure your pet feels comfortable are always my top priorities. Your furry (or finned!) family member will be cared for as if they were my own – with love, attention, and plenty of fun. A Day in My Care 🐾 • Morning Walks (7am – 9am): A refreshing start to the day with plenty of exercise, sniffing, and tail wags. Perfect for dogs who like to burn off energy first thing. Session length can be discussed. • Midday Visits (11am – 2pm): Feeding, toilet breaks, playtime, or a calm walk — tailored to your pet’s routine. • Afternoon Adventures (3pm – 5pm): Shorter walks as welcome as the longer ones, or quieter sessions in the garden depending on your dog’s needs. • Evening Check-Ins (6pm – 8pm): Dinner, toilet breaks, and some quiet companionship to wind down. Your pet’s safety and happiness always come first. I understand how much trust it takes to let someone else care for your furry family member, and I take that responsibility seriously. • Safety: I keep walks controlled, calm, and enjoyable. I only use secure leads and harnesses, avoid unsafe areas, and always pay attention to your dog’s comfort and limits. It’s always good to get to know your dog beforehand so let me know what they’re like both inside and outside, any behavioural quirks or anything else you might think useful. • Trust: Animals respond best when they feel safe and respected. I will take time to get to know your pet’s personality so they can relax and enjoy themselves while you’re away. • Environment: I adapt to your pet’s routine and surroundings to reduce stress and keep things familiar. Walks can be energetic adventures or calm strolls, depending on what your dog needs. You can feel confident knowing your pet will be cared for with patience, consistency, and kindness — as if they were my own.
“Nicky has been our cat sitter several times now. She’s always been very reliable and already feels more like a friend than a sitter! A very trustworthy person, flexible, professional and caring. Just the qualities people hope to have in a sitter. We are very lucky to have someone like Nicky look after our cat. Thank you 🥰”
About: I've had pets all my life from growing up with dogs to now owning 4 cats, 2 dogs and 8 puppies. I like to think that myself and animals have a special bond and I do my upmost best to take care of any animal in my presence. Although I have no formal qualifications I do have passion and an unconditional love for our furry friends I'm currently working part time so my availability will be quite high to be able to look after your beloved pets. Just give me a try I have a fenced garden however I cannot offer boarding or sitting at my home currently as one of my dogs is not a fan of other dogs due to her early upbringing (not by me, we are currently working on this
“Absolutely brilliant sitter. It was our first sit for Emily and actually found I knew her from my vet surgery so was doubly confident. Regular updates, came back to 3 happy cats who didn't sulk for 4 days because we had 'abandoned' them.”
“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 ❤️🐕”

“Ruby had our rescue sausage dog today who is incredible nervous and reactive. Ruby was eager to meet us before the day and immediately put me at ease by her care and patience to Daisy. Daisy settled almost immediately and I was updated throughout the day. We will definitely be booking with Ruby again!”
About: I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I take the time to understand each animal’s unique personality, routines, and needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I have experience with puppy training—from crate training and leash manners to basic commands—and I’m also comfortable providing gentle, attentive care for senior pets, including administering medication and keeping a calm, familiar environment. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or quiet companionship, I make sure every visit leaves your pet happy and stress-free I am a healthy, active, retired professional lady. I live alone so would have plenty of time and love to give to your fur baby My garden is fully fenced. Your fur baby would live indoors. Sleep on my bed if that is what they are used to. I have no other pets so it will be just your dog.
“Meg was an absolute star!! She went above and beyond to help out with last minute Lucy care. So lovely and approachable. We were update throughout Lucy’s visit on her progress with messages and videos. I can’t recommend Meg enough. We will definitely use her service again when in the area. Thanks Meg!! ⭐️”
“100% recommended! Natasha and her partner, Joe are wonderful carers. Harry is an elderly border terrier who suffers greatly from separation anxiety but he settled in very nicely, very quickly at their home. Even so much so that he was fast asleep, snoring on the settee within hours! We had a pre meet and greet, and I knew from that, that he was going to be absolutely fine. I received regular updates and photos throughout the day on how he was getting on. Very impressed and I will be booking Natasha again without any hesitation.”

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’m a warm, friendly and reliable pet sitter, and together with my partner Lauren, we offer caring and dependable pet sitting for animals of all ages and personalities. As pet owners ourselves, we understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust to care for your pets and keep them happy, safe and comfortable while you’re away. Having rescued my own dog in the past, Lily, I know how much patience, trust and gentle care can mean to a pet. Through helping with her training, building her confidence and understanding her individual needs, I’ve developed a calm and compassionate approach to animal care. Together, Lauren and I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality, routine and needs so we can make them feel settled and well cared for. Whether your pet enjoys playtime, quiet companionship, sticking to a familiar routine or needs a little extra patience and reassurance, we always adapt our care to suit them. We’re especially understanding with young pets who are still learning, as well as older pets who may need a softer, more attentive approach. Pet care fits really naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I run my own business, so I have a flexible schedule and can plan my time around the pets I’m caring for. This means I’m able to offer visits, walks, and sitting at times that work best for each pet and their owner. My partner Lauren also helps with sitting and works remotely, so together we’re able to be really flexible and make sure pets get plenty of care, company, and attention throughout the day. We love creating a calm, caring environment and tailoring our service to suit each pet’s individual routine and needs. We offer pet sitting in the pet’s own home, as we find this is where they feel most comfortable, settled, and secure. Staying in their familiar surroundings helps keep their routine as normal as possible and can make the whole experience much less stressful for them. We always take the time to get to know each pet’s usual routine, from feeding and walks to playtime, rest, and any little habits that help them feel at ease. Our aim is to make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away, with plenty of attention, reassurance, and love.
“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 🥰”

“I was really nervous about leaving my puppy for the first time with a sitter, but Cameron put my mind at ease with the updates and I had no worries about Fenn under her care. Cameron was great with my pup and she has come home very tired and happy and clearly has had a lovely time ❤️ she already can’t wait to come for another visit. Thank you!”
About: I have over 5 years of experience caring for dogs and am a huge dog lover. I’ve regularly looked after dogs for friends and family, including my friend’s dog and my auntie’s dog, who I care for quite often. Through this experience, I’ve become confident handling dogs of all different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I absolutely love spending time with dogs and enjoy taking them on walks, playing with them, cuddles and making sure they feel happy. Whether it’s a long walk, some company during the day, or lots of attention and affection, I treat every dog as if they were my own I work from home full time so happy to care and be around for your dogs with my flexible schedule🐶 I have the time to pop over, go on walks or a have your dog for a sleepover most days 🐾 I live in a detached house with a good sized fenced garden!

“Kris was great for flexibility and communication, she truly looked after Fia yesterday. Fia came out tail wagging and happy, then slept for 2hrs straight. Kris is definitely my kind of doggy-person.”
“Super easy organisation with Holly due to great communication. Frank clearly had a great day and came back very tired after her day out. No hesitation to use Holly again for her first overnight stay very soon (Frankie says she can’t wait!)”
“Just fantastic! I can’t recommend Joseph enough. It was the first time we’ve ever left Alf with anyone new and he had the best time. When we picked Alf up he was so relaxed and settled and Joseph and his family were so kind and loving to our boy. It was so wonderful to see. Alf will definitely be back! Thank you ?”
“My puppy Lola was well looked after. Gabrielle took her out for her pretty regular toilet breaks (being such a young pup), and made sure she was cared for and given lots of cuddles. I knew I’d left her in good hands :)”

“Nicola has been walking both our whippets for a couple of months now and we couldn't be happier. Reliable, freindly and both dogs are loving getting the extra walks. Thank you Nicola!”
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.
“Figsy loves Nicola, she’s given us some great advice, he gets a lovely walk and she has lots of patience! Wouldn’t think twice about asking Nicola to dog sit or sending Figsy to Doggy Day Care. Thanks for everything 😁”
“Hannah was great, she stepped in at the last minute to walk our dog while we were away on holiday. We got regular updates and Dexter enjoyed his time with Hannah. We will definitely rebook when required.”
About: Hi! We’re Larna and Richard — a friendly, reliable couple based in Chesterfield who absolutely adore dogs. Whether you need last‑minute help or a regular go‑to sitter, we’re here to make sure your pup feel safe, loved, and completely at home. We both have a car so are able to travel if required. Between us we have 6+ years experience dog sitting. We are happy to provide references upon request. We are flexible so can offer a range of services that suit you and your fur baby, offering the best care to them and ensuring communication with you is priority. Because we both work shifts, our schedule is really flexible — and works perfectly for dog care. Most days, one of us is home, which means your dog will have company for the majority of the day. Richard works mostly early mornings and is usually home by 3:30/4pm at the latest. I work a mixture of shifts, with many of them being evenings. This means there’s almost always someone around, and on the rare occasions we’re both out, it’s only for short periods. We’re committed to keeping your dog’s routine consistent, comfortable, and stress‑free. If you need last‑minute care, our overlapping schedules make it easy for us to help. I think transparency is key and would prefer to inform owners about our work schedule so we can work together to ensure it's the right fit and I can offer as much reassurance as needed - your love and dedication to your fur baby, becomes ours when they stay with us! We’ve recently moved into a cosy end‑terraced house with a secure, private gated garden, which is perfect for dogs who enjoy fresh air, sniffing around, and relaxing outdoors. Safety is really important to us, so we always make sure the gate is locked and the garden is supervised during playtime. Inside, dogs have plenty of space to settle, explore, and get comfy. We keep our home calm and welcoming, and we’re happy to follow your dog’s usual routine — whether that’s crate time, sofa cuddles, set feeding times, or specific training cues. We’re lucky to have lots of lovely walks nearby, both within walking distance and just a short drive away. Whether your dog prefers quiet paths, open fields, or a steady neighbourhood stroll, we can match their pace and energy. Because we work different shifts, one of us is home most of the day, so your dog will rarely be left alone, and only ever for short periods. They’ll get lots of attention, fuss, and company throughout the day. We’re always happy to send regular updates and photos so you can see how they’re getting on.
About: Fully insured for pet sitting. I have years of experience caring for dogs of different breeds and temperaments. I crate and toilet trained both family spaniels, now aged 1 and 4.

If a dog is staying with me, I would incorporate their care into my schedule. My routine is structured but adaptable. In my home I can provide a safe, cozy, stress free environment tailored to your pets needs. With direct access to a secluded field, your furry friend can enjoy adventures in a safe and open space. Safety and trust is paramount when looking after your dog. I recommend the use of sturdy leads, harnesses when walking and will always keep a close eye on their surroundings. I completely understand the importance of your pets well-being and want to assure you I am fully insured with pet sitting coverage. While I truly hope nothing happens when your pet is in my care, please know that you can have peace of mind knowing I am fully prepared for any unforeseen circumstances.

About: I’ve been lucky enough to spend my life surrounded by animals of all shapes and sizes – from playful pups and cuddly cats to tropical fish, and even bees! 🐝 Animals have always been a huge part of my world, and caring for them comes naturally to me. I have hands-on experience looking after dogs, cats, and fish. I’ve also trained my own dogs, which means I understand how important patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement are. Whether it’s a puppy learning the ropes, or an older dog who needs a gentler pace, I adapt to each animal’s unique needs. With bees, I’ve learned the importance of calm handling, respect, and attentiveness – skills I bring to all the pets I care for. Safety, trust, and making sure your pet feels comfortable are always my top priorities. Your furry (or finned!) family member will be cared for as if they were my own – with love, attention, and plenty of fun. A Day in My Care 🐾 • Morning Walks (7am – 9am): A refreshing start to the day with plenty of exercise, sniffing, and tail wags. Perfect for dogs who like to burn off energy first thing. Session length can be discussed. • Midday Visits (11am – 2pm): Feeding, toilet breaks, playtime, or a calm walk — tailored to your pet’s routine. • Afternoon Adventures (3pm – 5pm): Shorter walks as welcome as the longer ones, or quieter sessions in the garden depending on your dog’s needs. • Evening Check-Ins (6pm – 8pm): Dinner, toilet breaks, and some quiet companionship to wind down. Your pet’s safety and happiness always come first. I understand how much trust it takes to let someone else care for your furry family member, and I take that responsibility seriously. • Safety: I keep walks controlled, calm, and enjoyable. I only use secure leads and harnesses, avoid unsafe areas, and always pay attention to your dog’s comfort and limits. It’s always good to get to know your dog beforehand so let me know what they’re like both inside and outside, any behavioural quirks or anything else you might think useful. • Trust: Animals respond best when they feel safe and respected. I will take time to get to know your pet’s personality so they can relax and enjoy themselves while you’re away. • Environment: I adapt to your pet’s routine and surroundings to reduce stress and keep things familiar. Walks can be energetic adventures or calm strolls, depending on what your dog needs. You can feel confident knowing your pet will be cared for with patience, consistency, and kindness — as if they were my own.

At home I have my own active border collie, Mowgli, so I know exactly what dogs need to feel happy, safe, and stimulated. Whether it's a 15-minute potty break, a 45-minute adventure, a drop-in visit, or full house sitting, or day care, I tailor every visit to your dog's individual routine.

For house sitting and drop-in visits, I come to you — keeping your pet in the home they know and love, with minimal disruption to their routine.

“Shelby and her partner were incredible with Ava! Gave us plenty of updates and Ava was so relaxed and happy with them. Will definitely book again when we next need a dog sitter. Thanks guys.”
“I recently, at quite short notice, needed a dog sitter for a few days over the weekend. I’ve used the app for day care before but this was my first time looking for an overnight, stay and was a couple of nights. A little anxious about leaving my beloved pet in a strange environment, I used the app and after reading the reviews, I felt confident to ask. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Meeting up beforehand in a relaxed, local park, I felt at ease and knew Doris was going to be in safe hands. Drop off and collection were seamless, she had a lovely stay over and was treated like a member of the family. Lucy provided updates and pictures which put my mind at rest, I can’t thank her enough.”
“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!”
“Booked Steve in for a 1st stay with someone other than family. Really happy with the home from home service Ruby provided and have booked him in for a weeks stay. Overall extremely happy with everything.”
“I will most definitely be booking Tracey again. I felt so relaxed knowing he was being so well cared for. Tracy sent me regular updates and photos, and Sidney looks like he had such a lovely 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!
“Megan and her partner were great with Patch. He had an amazing time and settled really well into their environment. Both very experienced and with this being Patch’s first time we were a little nervous however they reassured us and kept us up to date and there were no issues at all. We loved that they were both relaxed and delivered a 5 star service. We’ll definitely be using them again.”
“Clyde had a lovely time and obviously felt very at home! Came back relaxed and happy which is not how I imagine he would have been had he been in a Kennel! Thanks again will be sure to book Clyde in for another stay!”
“Larna and Rich have been fantastic looking after Ava. We were gone for 8 days on holiday and I was sent daily photos and updates. From all of the photos, I could see how content Ava was which really put my mind at rest so we could enjoy our family holiday. I have used Larna before this but will reach out to her yet again when we next need a dog sitter. Fully recommend.”
About: I have over 5 years of experience caring for dogs and am a huge dog lover. I’ve regularly looked after dogs for friends and family, including my friend’s dog and my auntie’s dog, who I care for quite often. Through this experience, I’ve become confident handling dogs of all different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I absolutely love spending time with dogs and enjoy taking them on walks, playing with them, cuddles and making sure they feel happy. Whether it’s a long walk, some company during the day, or lots of attention and affection, I treat every dog as if they were my own I work from home full time so happy to care and be around for your dogs with my flexible schedule🐶 I have the time to pop over, go on walks or a have your dog for a sleepover most days 🐾 I live in a detached house with a good sized fenced garden! It is 3 storey so there is stairs to consider if your dog likes to sleep upstairs, but plenty of rooms and space if your dog likes sleeping elsewhere. I live near lots of walking trails, fields, woods, and swimming spots! I don’t have any other pets and live with my boyfriend who also absolutely loves dogs too.
“Elvis loved his stay at Armans. We had regular updates and Elvis and Benji got on really well. Arman was really easy to communicate with and we’d be happy to use their service again. Thanks so much”
“At very late notice, Haley, her partner and their lovely dalmatian, Sunday, were the absolute best in caring for and helping settle in our little hellraiser, Ralph, for the week. Very communicative, attentive and helpful to ease our worries. He came back a very happy and very sleepy boy, testament to the attention and fun he’d had in their care. Thank you very much! Couldn’t recommend enough!”
“We would highly recommend Ellen. She took brilliant care of our bulldog. Ellen was really accommodating to his specific needs and quirks (of which there are many). Excellent communication throughout.”
“Cameron took great care of Jasper on his evening of boarding. She has a great set up and space in and outdoors to host multiple dogs but keep them separate also if need be, and made sure he had a good balance of play and quiet time. Jasper really enjoyed his stay and we definitely recommend her services :-)”
“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 reassured me that Jasper was doing well. She sent written updates and pictures. He had a great time playing with Lola and Eva (and all of their toys!) and took him out for a good run around. Really happy, thank you :-)”
“Sarah was fantastic with our rescue greyhound, Cora. This was our first time leaving her with a sitter so we were a little nervous, but Sarah put our minds at ease with photos and updates. We also felt very comfortable leaving Cora with Sarah because of her many years of sighthound experience and calm demeanor. Her own greyhound Daisy is also wonderful around other dogs and was patient with Cora's toy and bed theft! Would definitely recommend for sighthounds and non-sighthounds alike!”
