“Laura was absolutely amazing. She kept us updated on how Stan was throughout the weekend and sent us pictures. Stan settled in extremely well and looked extremely comfortable. All I can say is thankyou Laura and that I highly recommended anyone using your services.”
“I am glad we chose Karina as our pet daycare nanny. The house was well equipped and welcoming for new explorers! Although my cat is an introvert and prefers to spend time alone, Karina has amazing pets, especially the dog who was very friendly and tried to befriend my cat. She created the necessary accommodations so he is less stressed as he does not like being away from home. Thank you Karina!”
“Paul was brilliant and Monty our lab had a great time. He clearly enjoyed his stay and came back in great shape and was well looked after during exceptional heat. Paul sent photos and videos every day along with a message update on Monty’s antics.”
“We have a rescue dog who is nervous around people so we were weary about using a dog sitter, but Carl and Clare were really patient with her. She enjoyed the company of the other dog in residence for the weekend and we were able to see family so it was a huge success. Thank you!”
“Highly Recommend Rebecca and Sean. The updates were great, sent many photos and videos throughout giving us peace of mind. Thank you for looking after Leo, would def book again.”
“Our elderly Jack/Paterdale cross terrier had a lovely holiday with Yvette and her family. He suffers separation anxiety and needs a tablet every day but Yvette managed all very well and we picked up a happy, well fed and relaxed old pooch after his two weeks holiday. Very happy with his care and the regular updates. Thank you very much x 😊”
“Can't say enough good things. First time leaving my 4yo Husky with a seater, I was a nerve rack but Ivy made it easy, constant updates, she made my holiday feel better by keeping me at ease the whole time. My pup was happy the whole time, couldn't ask for more.”
“Maria took excellent care of our dog, Rondo, for a week and a half while we were away. Not only did they accept a last minute booking, but they spoiled our boy! Rondo loved running around their fenced garden, going on walks, and getting a puppuccino. We received several pictures of Rondo playing and cuddling and cute updates of his daily activities. Would highly recommend Maria for any dog boarding needs!”
“We were naturally quite anxious about leaving our two dogs overnight, especially as one of them has separation anxiety and, since coming to us as a re-home five months ago, has never been left before. Georgina was incredibly patient, understanding, and reassuring throughout the whole experience. Georgina took the time to make both dogs feel comfortable and kept us updated with messages and photos, which really put our minds at ease. It was clear Georgina genuinely cared about our dogs and made every effort to ensure they felt safe and settled. We collected two happy, well-cared-for dogs, and we’re so grateful for the care and attention they received. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Georgina to anyone, especially if you have a dog who needs a little extra patience and understanding. Thank you for making what could have been a stressful experience such a positive one! We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better first overnight experience.”
About: I’ve always house sat or took care of my friends or families pets! Would love to help out whenever to who ever i can !! I’m currently working shift work so there’s some days of the week where i’m not working at all which works out perfect for those who work weekdays and might need a little bit of support! I have a fenced garden which will be safe for fur babies! I also live in a very quiet estate so perfect for getting puppies used to walking outdoors with limited stress! Also a household of people who love animals and are overall quiet so the animals will be showered with love!
About: I am a compassionate, reliable, and experienced animal care professional with over 8 years of experience working as a Veterinary Nurse, alongside my current role as an Ambulance Clinician. Caring for others has always been at the heart of what I do, and animals have been a lifelong passion of mine. My veterinary background has given me extensive experience caring for animals of all breeds, ages, and temperaments, including those with medical needs, anxiety, or additional care requirements. I am confident administering medication, recognising signs of illness, and ensuring pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Working as an Ambulance Clinician has strengthened my calm, responsible, and trustworthy nature, especially in high-pressure situations. I understand how important it is for owners to know their pets are in safe hands, and I treat every animal with the same care and affection I would give my own. Whether it’s walks, feeding, overnight stays, playtime, or companionship, I provide attentive, personalised care and genuinely love building bonds with animals I currently work shifts as an ambulance clinician, when I schedule pet care it will not be during my working days. My days when I am providing pet care will revolve around the animals normal routine or as close as I can. I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment for every pet in my care. I follow each pet's normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise, medication (if required), and any special care instructions. I make sure pets always have access to fresh water, a secure space to rest, and plenty of attention, enrichment, and supervision. I have a fenced garden and have access to open fields with wooden fencing. When caring for pets in an owner's home, I respect the home and maintain the pet's usual routine to help them feel comfortable and reduce stress. I keep owners updated with regular messages, photos, and reports. Safety is my priority, so I monitor pets closely during walks, playtime, and interactions with other animals, and I follow all instructions regarding health, behavior, and emergency contacts
About: Since the age of 10, my life has been dedicated to animals. Growing up on a farm in Portugal, I was surrounded by the heartbreaking reality of stray animals, which sparked a lifelong mission to help. I couldn't turn a blind eye; I brought home every animal in need—from dogs and cats to injured birds. Eventually, after endless ignored "no more animals after this one" pleas, my parents finally accepted their fate and helped me build dedicated kennels on our farm. Together with the local community, we provided food, medical care, and a safe haven for these animals until we could find them their forever homes. Through these 17 years of rescue work, I didn't just provide care; I studied animal behavior deeply, learning how to communicate with and comfort dogs of all temperaments. Currently, I am the proud parent of two dogs—a Husky and a rescue Collie/Lab—who are my entire world. I know how difficult it is to leave your fur-babies behind, which is why I treat every guest like a member of my own family. When your dog is with me, they can expect: * 🌟 Endless Love & Cuddles: No shortage of affection and sofa time. 🌟 Active Adventures: Frequent walks and play tailored to their energy levels. 🌟 Paddock Time: I live 10 minutes away from a secure paddock where I take my dogs all the time; I'm happy to take yours for a run there too! 🌟 A "Spoilt" Experience: I promise to love and spoil your pups just as much as I do my own. I truly miss the feeling of being surrounded by "fur" and making a difference in an animal's life. I can’t wait to meet your best friend and give them a home-away-from-home experience! I'm currently studying full time from home so your fur baby will never be alone. Walks 3x a day - morning after and evening I go paddocks often especially in good weather and I am happy to take yours along. I offer a safe, loving environment with a fully fenced-in garden for secure playtime. My two friendly dogs provide great company, ensuring your pet never feels lonely. I am experienced with crate training if needed for sleeping or quiet time. Whether in my home or yours, I prioritize a consistent routine, plenty of supervised exercise, and constant attention to keep your fur baby happy and secure.
“Cassandra was really nice when she took care of Dio for the week we traveled. She was flexible with my time when we met prior the sitting. She was attentive and kept me updated and sent me pictures so it gave me a piece of mind during my Easter holiday. I would definitely recommend her.”
About: I am a licenced home boarder based in Kettering and run my own boarding, daycare and dog walking business. I've worked with dogs professionally full-time for 6 months and part time for over a year. I now care for dogs every day and also have a 2 year old miniature labradoodle named Ziggy. He's full of beans but I've put a lot of effort into his training and it's definitely paid off. I've taken an interest in dog training and although I'm by no means an expert, I do understand dogs behaviours and body language well. I think I want to pursue this as a career in the future but looking to get as much care experience in as possible. Being a dog owner myself I know what it's like to want the best for them. They're family ❤️ Pet (dog) care is my full time job so if I have availability, I will definitely be able to take care of your furry family! After a bad experience putting my own dog into a kennel, I personally always feel more at ease knowing my dog is safe in his own home with someone I can trust. I also understand that some animals can be timid and nervous, I will do my best to gain their trust and companionship at a pace that suits them. I am calm but assertive and very aware of my surroundings so you (and your animals!) will feel safe and secure with them under my care.
“Valle had his first overnight stay with Hayley & his tail wags as soon as he sees her & didn’t give us a second glance when we left. He became attached to one of her dog toys & she kindly let him have it & bring home. Hayley is really lovely, has a kind, friendly, relaxed aura & we felt totally comfortable leaving Valle in her care, we knew he was being well looked after. She is very fast to respond to messages too. I would highly recommend Hayley”
About: I’ve been involved with animals ever since I can remember! From owning 3 horses and 2 beloved rescue dogs! I know how to adapt and change to each animal understanding not all of them are the same. I am also a qualified nurse so from my animal experience and nursing experience I’ve learnt how to communicate with both owner and animal. I work as an nurse as hoc and have enjoyed taking a break from the hospital!! And I have a wide range of availability and will most likely be free! I can communicate effectively with you the owner to understand where your pet is allowed. From owning two rescue dogs I’m also aware of certain dogs being afraid or aggressive to other dogs so I would walk on other side of the path to keep dogs away. I have had a huge experience around poorly pets- My current rescue has to have regular medication including injections and eye drops, I have also had experience with strokes amongst dogs and post operative care. My being a vet has enabled me to pick up critical information for dealing with emergency’s and the general health and well being of animals. I am also aware that dogs love company and like other dogs so I’m suited to all pet needs. I also give great cuddles and I seem to have a good track record with pets and they seem to always want more! I have plenty of time to play with your pups or cats due to being a newly graduate from university. I am available weekdays, weekends and all times of the day. I will ensure your dog remains in eye contact to make sure there’s no escapes. My sister is a qualified vet and my experience and knowledge of emergency care has grown from her. I will have your vets contact number in my phone before any visit/sitting.

About: I’m a caring, responsible animal lover. I have a huge passion for all animals. I am 18 and currently study animal care in college. my college has a variety of different animals, rodents and insects so i am confident in handling all different species. I understand that every cat has their own personality - from playful and chatty to shy and independent - and I always take the time to get to know them properly. I own a German shepherd and English bulldog, i have experience with my bfs cat who i’ve been with for 3 years.
About: I work during the week but I am available for weekends and offer house sitting with the availability to pop back during my lunchtime to walk. I’m comfortable with small up to big dogs and cats as well ☺️. I love animals, I have grown up with dogs, cats, rat, mouses.. you name it - I've had it! I am unable to have my own pets at the moment so this is the PERFECT way I can spend some time with animals I adore whilst also helping others out. I am a full-time Civil Servant, I also paint, and I enjoy keeping fit. I have a support working background where we had dogs at the home all the time, I miss this a lot and so I’d love to have the opportunity to care for your pet!

I can walk before, lunchtime, and after work and can equally play with your pup to keep them entertained! I’m not offering boarding where I live but I would happily follow any health and safety instructions at the place I would be staying with your pup!
“We couldn't be more pleased with Kirsty. We have been using her for a few years now and go away knowing that Rosie is in good hands and being well looked after. We receive photos and messages from Kirsty while we are away. We will definately be booking Kirsty whenever we go away again. Thankyou Kirsty ”
“I’m so happy to have found Fiona, she’s amazing. Dudley and Amber clearly like her, they were very happy and relaxed when I got home. Fiona took time to play with them and sent me daily updates, photos and videos. Thank you so much for taking such good care of my kitties x ”
“We've booked Sophie several times now and she is simply wonderful. Our cats can be timid but are very happy with Sophie. She looks after them well and is so trustworthy. Sophie knows I am a worrier and keeps me regularly updated on how they are all getting on and I really appreciate it. Thank you Sophie!”
About: Hi, I’m Maria My husband and I live in Hanwood Park, and together we provide calm, loving, home-based care for cats in a peaceful environment where they can feel safe, respected, and emotionally settled. As lifelong animal lovers, we’ve cared for both cats and dogs over many years, but we understand that cats have very different emotional needs. Cats thrive on trust, routine, gentle energy, and feeling secure in their environment — and we always take the time to let them settle at their own pace. Some cats are playful and curious, others are quiet and independent. We genuinely enjoy getting to know each cat’s personality and adapting our care around what makes them feel comfortable and relaxed. At our home, your cat benefits from: 🐾 A calm home environment with constant human presence 🐾 Quiet spaces for rest, observation, and decompression 🐾 Gentle interaction and affection on their terms 🐾 Consistent feeding routines and attention to habits 🐾 Daily updates, photos, and videos if you’d like 🐾 Close attention to behaviour, mood, appetite, and wellbeing We know many cat owners worry about leaving their cats somewhere unfamiliar, especially cats who are sensitive to change or very attached to routine. Our goal is to make their stay feel peaceful, predictable, and stress-free — with patience, kindness, and understanding. We especially value building long-term relationships with both cats and their owners, becoming a familiar and trusted second home whenever you travel or need support. If you’d like to arrange a meet & greet or ask any questions, I’d be very happy to hear from you
“Isabelle took the trouble to visit us in advance of her caring for our cat Sid, to ensure that she fully understood his routine, and where to find everything. Isabelle sent us daily updates of what she had done, how Sid was doing, plus several photos each day. We felt completely reassured that Sid was in safe hands and being cared for properly. Isabelle left our kitchen and Sid's feed station in a clean and tidy state. We would have no hesitation in booking Isabelle again, and are happy to recommend her to others.”
About: I’ve had animals since the day I was born, mainly cats however we got a dog about 5 years ago who is absolutely to die for! Since moving away from home I have so much love to give to animals now as I am a long way from mine. I treat all animals like my own and will make sure that they are happy whilst away from you for whatever period of time. I am currently working from home for the majority of the time with a few days in the office. My schedule can be very flexible and catering to what is needed. We can’t have big pets in our house at the moment due to lodgers. However, we do have a small hamster who is treated like royalty and is very spoilt!
About: As a passionate cat lover and experienced sitter, I provide dedicated, stress-free care tailored to your feline friend's unique personality. From maintaining precise feeding schedules and pristine litter boxes to offering the perfect balance of playful engagement and quiet companionship, I treat every cat like family. Reliable, observant, and communicative, my goal is to give your cat the comforts of home and give you total peace of mind while you're away

“Carl and Clare went above and beyond to have Henry at short notice during a family emergency. I was reassured the minute I met them - the very definition of 'dog people'! Very thorough pre brief and kept me updated with photos on the day. They took away a lot of stress for me during a very stressful time. Henry had the time of his life with his new gang and slept so long I had to wake him up for his breakfast the next day (unheard of!)”
“Our Charlie went to Emma today and had a great stay. Emma and her family were so friendly and made me feel instantly happy leaving Charlie with them. She sent me videos of charlie having fun.I will certainly use Emma's services again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her.”
About: I grew up with family dogs (bernese mountain dogs) and as an adult have had both a cokapoo and cocker spaniel. Dogs really do make a house a home and I strive to make your furry one feel at home when s/he is with me. I work from home every day so am always in and around for you furry one. Plenty of time for cuddles and walks throughout the day. I have a secure garden, perfect for a quick stretch of the legs. I am lucky to live in the countryside and so am spoilt for endless walks. It’s a home from home.
“So kind and helpful, no matter the amount of questions they helped me every step of the way, lots of updates, quite frankly my girls had far to much fun! 100% will be using again!”
“Laura looked after our very bouncy 15 month old rescue Lurcher, unfortunately he was a tad boystrious with her dogs so had to be separated after a while, he seem to have a lovely time running in and out the garden and making carrot mess and was pretty exhausted once he got home, would definitely recommend”
“Could have asked for a better sitter for our dog. She kept us updated with Nola's progress through the day. Her house was ample big enough with a big garden for Nola to run around in. Would recommend”
About: Hi, I’m Maria. My husband and I live in Hanwood Park, and together we offer a calm, loving, home-from-home environment where dogs and cats are truly treated as part of the family. I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs of many breeds and personalities — Schnauzers, Cocker Spaniels, Shih Tzus, Boxers, Lhasa Apsos, Weimaraners, and more — as well as cats. Over the years, friends and families have trusted me with their pets again and again, knowing they’ll be loved, understood, and cared for with patience and attention. What matters most to me is that every dog feels safe, relaxed, and emotionally settled while they’re with us. A Home Built on Trust, Not Just Care I know how hard it can be to leave your dog with someone else — they’re family, not “just a pet.” That’s why I’ve always focused on building long-term trust and familiarity with the dogs I care for, rather than quick, one-off stays. Because my husband and I work as a team of two, your dog benefits from: 🐾Constant human presence 🐾Consistent routines 🐾A calm, stable home environment 🐾Never left alone for long periods 🐾Plenty of affection, cuddles, and gentle play 🐾Walks tailored to your dog’s routine and energy level 🐾Access to a garden for fresh air and relaxed time outdoors 🐾Care adapted to your dog’s personality — playful or quiet, young or senior 🐾Regular updates, photos, or videos if you’d like We especially love caring for dogs whose owners are looking for consistency and continuity — a familiar home they can return to whenever you travel, work, or need support. When a dog stays with us, they’re not just being looked after — they’re welcomed into our home and cared for with patience, kindness, and respect. If you’d like to arrange a meet & greet or ask any questions, I’d be very happy to hear from you. We look forward to welcoming your dog My husband and I both work from home, which means your pet will have plenty of company, attention, and supervision throughout the day. We naturally build pet care into our daily routine, including walks, playtime, cuddles, feeding schedules, and quiet rest time. We’re available for boarding during weekdays, weekends, and longer stays, and we always aim to create a calm, loving environment where pets feel safe, relaxed, and part of the family. We provide a calm home environment with a secure garden, consistent routines, and lots of gentle attention and affection. Because there are two of us, pets are never left alone for long periods and always have someone nearby for reassurance and care. We take time to understand each pet’s personality, habits, and needs so they can feel settled, comfortable, and truly at home with us.
About: I have loved owning pets all my life ranging from Mastiff/St Bernard Dogs to cats/rabbits/guinea pigs to gerbils. Now I only have my tortoise (who is actually older than me). When I worked in another organisation for pet sitting, I enjoyed looking after a variety of 'personalities' as did my two teenage sons. Currently I am not working so am flexible for whatever needs your pet requires, I can also collect your pet if you unable to drop -off. I have a fenced garden and I am only a minute away from lovely walks across the fields/ meadows. Safety of your pet is top priority so will always keep on lead etc.

About: I have looked after dogs for friends and family for many years. Dog sitting for a day up to 3 weeks. Walks from quick round the block jobs to muddy miles! I work shifts so am available during the day for walks and day care. I am looking to work from home more so will have the opportunity to offer lots of attention. I have access to a communal grassed area at the front of my house for regular toilet breaks. I have a dog of my own who is very friendly and loves company. I have space for a crate if required.
“Millie was very welcoming and spent time to make sure Tilly settled in. Millie’s flexibility so we could enjoy our nephew’s wedding was also much appreciated. Tilly and I would definitely recommend Millie!”
“Absolutely brilliant, left our Chase with Shelby for the day while my wife, son and I went to an aquarium. When we got him back home he was absolutely knackered and went straight to sleep. 100% recommend to anyone and will be using her again.”
About: When I was about 10, we rescued my English Setter at the RSPCA. I trained him to trust humans again which wasn’t easy, taught him a range of tricks and provided him with unconditional love he had never received before. My pets are back home in Geneva, so I don’t own any pets in the UK at the moment. My friends refer to me as the biggest animal lover they’ve met, catch me petting every animal I pass by on the streets :) I’ve walked multiple dogs in my neighbourhood when my neighbours needed it, and took them home for the day when needed too! I work from home every day, and have a pretty relaxed schedule with one meeting a day as I am a developper, so I have plenty of extra time to look after your dog and take them on walks around the neighborhood :) I live in a detached house in Hanwood Park, I have a good-sized fenced garden where your dog can go running around and play, and also have a hose outside in case they get muddy so I can clean them up before they go back home!

“Glenda is a great dog sitter. She asked to meet beforehand to make sure we were and good fit and asked lots of questions to ensure she had all the information needed. I was sent updates and very cute videos of my dog throughout the day. Glenda is great to communicate with and is very accommodating too. My dog left very happy, full, all played out and well looked after, after spending the day with Glenda and her lovely dog. Couldn’t really ask for anything more!! I will definitely be asking Glenda to look after my boy again! Highly recommend!!”

About: 🐾Get £15 OFF your first booking!🐾 Use code: GABRID21881 at checkout. I am a qualified veterinary nurse with experience caring for a wide range of animals. My training has given me a strong understanding of animal health, behaviour, and wellbeing. I love providing pets with the care, attention, and reassurance they need.

I currently work in a kennels where I care for dogs daily, including feeding, exercise, cleaning and making sure they are comfortable and happy.

I have owned dogs and cats my whole life and currently have two dogs and two cats. Buddy is my English Bull Terrier and Coco is my Shar Pei, who is a rescue and can be reactive at times which has given me a lot of experience understanding dog behaviour and working with more challenging personalities. I also have two cats, Cookie and Colin and Cookie is a senior cat with arthritis so I’m very familiar with caring for older pets and managing their comfort. Buddy also has kidney disease, so I understand the importance of specialised diets, medication and monitoring health closely. Because of my own pets and my veterinary nursing training, I’m very confident providing patient, attentive care and making sure every animal feels safe, loved and comfortable. I have also pet sat for friends and always make sure pets receive plenty of love, exercise and routine so they feel safe and happy while their owners are away. I currently work mornings and afternoons at a kennels from 7:30am–12pm and 2pm–5pm, with a two-hour break during the day where I can return to care for pets. I’m available before work, during my lunch break and from 5pm onwards in the evening. I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual routine, including feeding schedules and walks. If needed, I can do a morning walk, a walk during my lunch break and an evening walk. For dogs that enjoy more exercise, I’m also happy to take them to paddocks so they can have a safe run around and burn off energy. On Fridays I work an evening shift at a pub, so I would only be available with your pet from around 5pm–6pm before leaving for work and returning around midnight. Because of this I usually avoid Friday bookings, but I’m happy to discuss it with owners if this schedule still suits their pet. On Saturdays I work at the pub from 12pm–6pm, so I’m available in the morning and again in the evening. I am fully available on Sundays. I currently offer pet care in the owner’s home rather than bringing pets to my own home. I find that many animals feel much more relaxed and comfortable staying in their familiar environment, where they have their usual routine, smells and surroundings. My priority is always making sure pets feel safe, calm and well cared for while their owners are away. As a veterinary nursing student, I am confident handling animals safely and recognising signs of stress or illness. I am experienced in administering medication, following specialised diets and making sure pets receive the care and attention they need. I will always follow the owner’s instructions closely to maintain their pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime and rest. I am also very happy to arrange a meet and greet beforehand, such as going for a walk together with the owner and their dog. This allows the pet to get to know me first and helps everyone feel comfortable and confident before any booking.
About: I have a dog of my own and would love to care for yours as is it best to have someone who actually cares! Id like to work at a rescue one day, but until then, id like to gain some experience in dog sitting. My dog is a senior so i have some experience with giving oral medication and ear drops. Im also very good with energetic dogs and can provide engaging activities at many points of the day such as exercise. Im currently a six form student, so I have plenty of time to do this as a side hustle, until I leave for summer, I’m available from 2 on Wednesdays and Friday, and the whole weekend I take my dog on daily walks, as well as providing him with medication as he’s a senior. like eardrops teeth care and various spa treatments. His food is perfectly portioned with nutrients and a balanced diet.
About: I am a genuine animal lover with experience caring for a wide variety of dog breeds, sizes, and personalities. Over the years, I have looked after energetic puppies, senior dogs, and everything in between, always adapting to their individual needs and routines. I understand the importance of providing plenty of attention, exercise, companionship, and a safe environment where pets feel comfortable and secure. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding, playtime, administering basic medications, or simply offering affection and reassurance, I treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to ensure both pets and owners feel confident, happy, and well cared for at all times. I understand that pets are happiest when their usual routine is maintained, so I always adapt my schedule to suit the individual needs of the pet I am caring for. Whether it’s specific feeding times, regular walks, play sessions, medication schedules, or quiet time to relax, I make every effort to follow their normal routine as closely as possible. I take the time to learn each pet’s preferences, habits, and personality to ensure they feel comfortable, secure, and stress-free while their owner is away. My goal is to provide consistent, attentive care that helps pets feel safe, happy, and at home. Safety, trust, and creating a positive environment are my top priorities when caring for pets. I understand how important it is for owners to feel confident that their pets are in safe and reliable hands. I provide a calm, secure, and pet-friendly environment where animals can feel comfortable and relaxed while maintaining their usual routines. I am attentive to each pet’s individual needs, ensuring they are supervised, cared for responsibly, and treated with kindness and respect at all times. I believe in building trust with both pets and their owners through clear communication, reliability, and a genuine commitment to providing the highest standard of care.
About: Hello! I'm Karina, I recently graduated from university and have currently been enjoying looking after pets through Rover. I have extensive experience caring for various pets, including dogs, cats, fish, parrots, guinea pigs, and hamsters. I also spent my childhood in a village with my grandma, who had pigs, chickens, and cows. At home, I have three cats and I’ve also had the joy of caring for my own senior dog for many years. I am responsible, trustworthy, and passionate about ensuring pets' well-being and happiness. I look forward to caring for your furry friends! I work about 20 hours a week, so have plenty of time to look after pets. I also live with my mum, so for any boarding requests, she would be available if I’m ever not at home e.g. working, going gym, running errands, etc. I love all pets so so much and I will treat them as my own babies. Respecting the owners expectations of me comes first as I would expect the same treatment for my pets. Regular updates & photos will definitely be provided :)
About: Hello I'm Sophie! When you meet me I am a quiet person but a hard worker and have a great passion for animals and their care. I've owned various pets since very young and I've spent 5 years studying animals at college including exotics, farm, reptiles/amphibians, common pets, insects...etc. I currently own two dogs, two cats and about ten crested geckos. I've done dog walking since I was 16 when I used to take the neighbourhood dogs for walks for whatever they wanted to pay as pocket money for sweets. The courses I've studied are Level 1 - Level 3 Diplomas in Animal Care & Management, and also Level 1 Horse Care. I've also done work experience at dog groomers where I'd wash, brush and dry various dogs ready for grooming, at a couple of pet shops and at a rescue. Some skills are: I can care for all types of animals including farm, reptiles and exotics. Trustworthy. Has a big passion for animal care, it is my life. Animals are part of the family and so the ones I look after will be treated like part of the family. I hope you will consider me for whatever you need, ask any questions and I'm happy to help! I take last minute bookings and am available 24/7 should you need anything at all. Pet care is my main passion so it is my main focus when doing work so I hope to do this more frequently enough to fill up the year. Walking in various places like the parks and forests around the area and the local farm, playing, tricks, socialising with other dogs, treats, snuggles and attention.
“He was really good, it was a last minute booking as well. I would 100% use him again. He gave a detailed description on how the walk was etc. the dogs are knackered now 🥰😂x”
About: Hi, I’m Maria. My husband and I live in Hanwood Park, and together we offer a calm, loving, home-from-home environment where dogs and cats are truly treated as part of the family. I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs of many breeds and personalities — Schnauzers, Cocker Spaniels, Shih Tzus, Boxers, Lhasa Apsos, Weimaraners, and more — as well as cats. Over the years, friends and families have trusted me with their pets again and again, knowing they’ll be loved, understood, and cared for with patience and attention. What matters most to me is that every dog feels safe, relaxed, and emotionally settled while they’re with us. A Home Built on Trust, Not Just Care I know how hard it can be to leave your dog with someone else — they’re family, not “just a pet.” That’s why I’ve always focused on building long-term trust and familiarity with the dogs I care for, rather than quick, one-off stays. Because my husband and I work as a team of two, your dog benefits from: 🐾Constant human presence 🐾Consistent routines 🐾A calm, stable home environment 🐾Never left alone for long periods 🐾Plenty of affection, cuddles, and gentle play 🐾Walks tailored to your dog’s routine and energy level 🐾Access to a garden for fresh air and relaxed time outdoors 🐾Care adapted to your dog’s personality — playful or quiet, young or senior 🐾Regular updates, photos, or videos if you’d like We especially love caring for dogs whose owners are looking for consistency and continuity — a familiar home they can return to whenever you travel, work, or need support. When a dog stays with us, they’re not just being looked after — they’re welcomed into our home and cared for with patience, kindness, and respect. If you’d like to arrange a meet & greet or ask any questions, I’d be very happy to hear from you. We look forward to welcoming your dog My husband and I both work from home, which means your pet will have plenty of company, attention, and supervision throughout the day. We naturally build pet care into our daily routine, including walks, playtime, cuddles, feeding schedules, and quiet rest time. We’re available for boarding during weekdays, weekends, and longer stays, and we always aim to create a calm, loving environment where pets feel safe, relaxed, and part of the family. We provide a calm home environment with a secure garden, consistent routines, and lots of gentle attention and affection. Because there are two of us, pets are never left alone for long periods and always have someone nearby for reassurance and care. We take time to understand each pet’s personality, habits, and needs so they can feel settled, comfortable, and truly at home with us.
“Aurelia was amazing with Sherlock when she came for a little meet and greet before their walk. Then for the walk she was right on time and we had a happy pup when we got home! We'll definitely book with Aurelia again :)”
About: I’ve taken care of my own dogs for 5 years now and I’ve looked after family friends dogs on multiple occasions. Having pets with health and dietary needs I understand the importance of maintaining routine to ensure their needs are met. I’m currently a student and work part time over the summer so will have plenty of time dedicated to car cuddles and playing with puppies! When house sitting I’ll always ensure your comfortable sending you updates from your fur babies and photos to let you know what they’re up to and how they’re doing. Having two small and delicate breeds of dog I know that safely is vital when handling certain dog breeds and will ensure that your pups are always safe!
“Justin was excellent with Vinny. Vinny really took to him on their meet and greet. This is a great app with photos and updates of the walks. I wouldn't hesitate to use Justin again.”
“Natalie is amazing, our little man took to Natalie straight away. Updates were fantastic and pictures of the walk. Highly recommend Natalie to anyone looking for a dog walker and will 100% be booking further walks.”
About: I’ve grown up around Labradors and horses, so I’m very comfortable with active, outdoor-loving animals and understanding different temperaments, energy levels, and routines. At home, I have two dachshunds and one cat, so I’m very used to managing a multi-pet household and the balance that comes with different personalities, feeding routines, and individual needs. Having dachshunds has given me plenty of experience with more sensitive, quirky, and sometimes needy dogs, so I’m confident in providing calm, patient care and adapting to each dog as an individual rather than a “one size fits all” approach. I also have experience supporting puppies with structure and consistency, as well as senior dogs who need a slower pace, extra reassurance, and careful attention to comfort and routine. Above all, I focus on creating a calm, familiar environment so pets feel settled, safe, and understood while their owners are away. I work from home online, which gives me a flexible daily routine and allows me to plan my schedule around the pets in my care. This means I am able to provide regular walks, toilet breaks, feeding, and companionship throughout the day, rather than leaving pets alone for long periods. I build my day around the needs of each booking, so care is consistent, calm, and tailored to each pet’s usual routine. I care for each pet as an individual and always follow their normal routine as closely as possible to ensure they feel safe, settled, and comfortable while their owners are away. Before any booking, I will always ask detailed questions about your pet’s routine, behaviour, preferences, and any specific needs so I can provide consistent care that mirrors what they are used to at home. I also arrange a meet and greet with all new clients and their pets beforehand, so everyone can feel comfortable and confident before the stay or visit begins. Whether in your home or mine, I prioritise calm, respectful care and always follow owner instructions closely to maintain safety, trust, and routine.

This collaborative approach ensures that your pet receives consistent and loving care, seamlessly integrated into my routine. By maintaining a well-organised schedule and a strong commitment to pet care, I can provide reliable and dedicated service that fits both my lifestyle and your pet’s needs.

Health Monitoring: I keep a close eye on your pet's health, looking for any signs of illness or distress. I am experienced in administering medications and providing any special care your pet may need.

I spend quality time with your pet, providing the love and care they need while you're away. Security and Safety: I make sure your home remains secure during my visits, following any specific instructions you provide regarding home security. Your pet’s safety is my top priority, and I ensure all doors, gates, and windows are secure. Communication: I maintain open and frequent communication with you, providing updates, photos, and videos of your pet. This helps you stay connected and reassured that your pet is well-cared for. My goal is to ensure that your pet feels comfortable, secure, and loved in their own home, making your time away as stress-free as possible for both you and your pet.
About: I’ve taken care of many dogs over the years this includes puppy’s all the way through to seniors, this has been through family and work. I currently have a lovely puppy and an energetic 2 year old vizsla, both of which are very sociable and love to meet other dogs. I am currently working part time in the area nearby but also am able to come home during my work day. I have days off which I spend at home with my own dogs, i am surrounded by fields so walks are often and can be as long or short as needed. Weekends are spent at home relaxing. I have a big fenced back garden which consists of grass and stone. Both of my dogs are crate trained. There are many walks around the area which can be short or long.
About: I’ve had animals since the day I was born, mainly cats however we got a dog about 5 years ago who is absolutely to die for! Since moving away from home I have so much love to give to animals now as I am a long way from mine. I treat all animals like my own and will make sure that they are happy whilst away from you for whatever period of time. I am currently working from home for the majority of the time with a few days in the office. My schedule can be very flexible and catering to what is needed. We can’t have big pets in our house at the moment due to lodgers. However, we do have a small hamster who is treated like royalty and is very spoilt!
About: I work during the week but I am available for weekends and offer house sitting with the availability to pop back during my lunchtime to walk. I’m comfortable with small up to big dogs and cats as well ☺️. I love animals, I have grown up with dogs, cats, rat, mouses.. you name it - I've had it! I am unable to have my own pets at the moment so this is the PERFECT way I can spend some time with animals I adore whilst also helping others out. I am a full-time Civil Servant, I also paint, and I enjoy keeping fit. I have a support working background where we had dogs at the home all the time, I miss this a lot and so I’d love to have the opportunity to care for your pet! I can mainly house sit at the weekends but happy to also house sit during the week depending on location! I can walk before, lunchtime, and after work and can equally play with your pup to keep them entertained! I’m not offering boarding where I live but I would happily follow any health and safety instructions at the place I would be staying with your pup!
“Danii was excellent from start to finish. She instantly bonded with our puppy when she first met him and kept us constantly reassured throughout the visits and walks. We will definitely be using her services again, as she immediately made us feel comfortable and confident in leaving our dog in her care.”
“Massive thank you to Georgina for dropping in on our 8 month old lab, Cooper, all week and taking him for a lunch time walk! This was the first time Cooper had been left on his own and whilst there were a few hiccups along the way, Georgina showed compassion and patience throughout. We really can't thank her enough for taking care of him throughout the week, even re-arranging a meeting to ensure he wasn't left on his own for too long. It was clear when I met Georgina that Cooper loved his walks with her & I would absolutely use her services again.”

“Laura was absolutely amazing. She kept us updated on how Stan was throughout the weekend and sent us pictures. Stan settled in extremely well and looked extremely comfortable. All I can say is thankyou Laura and that I highly recommended anyone using your services.”
“Paul was brilliant and Monty our lab had a great time. He clearly enjoyed his stay and came back in great shape and was well looked after during exceptional heat. Paul sent photos and videos every day along with a message update on Monty’s antics.”
“We have a rescue dog who is nervous around people so we were weary about using a dog sitter, but Carl and Clare were really patient with her. She enjoyed the company of the other dog in residence for the weekend and we were able to see family so it was a huge success. Thank you!”
“Highly Recommend Rebecca and Sean. The updates were great, sent many photos and videos throughout giving us peace of mind. Thank you for looking after Leo, would def book again.”
“Can't say enough good things. First time leaving my 4yo Husky with a seater, I was a nerve rack but Ivy made it easy, constant updates, she made my holiday feel better by keeping me at ease the whole time. My pup was happy the whole time, couldn't ask for more.”
“We were naturally quite anxious about leaving our two dogs overnight, especially as one of them has separation anxiety and, since coming to us as a re-home five months ago, has never been left before. Georgina was incredibly patient, understanding, and reassuring throughout the whole experience. Georgina took the time to make both dogs feel comfortable and kept us updated with messages and photos, which really put our minds at ease. It was clear Georgina genuinely cared about our dogs and made every effort to ensure they felt safe and settled. We collected two happy, well-cared-for dogs, and we’re so grateful for the care and attention they received. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Georgina to anyone, especially if you have a dog who needs a little extra patience and understanding. Thank you for making what could have been a stressful experience such a positive one! We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better first overnight experience.”
About: I am a compassionate, reliable, and experienced animal care professional with over 8 years of experience working as a Veterinary Nurse, alongside my current role as an Ambulance Clinician. Caring for others has always been at the heart of what I do, and animals have been a lifelong passion of mine. My veterinary background has given me extensive experience caring for animals of all breeds, ages, and temperaments, including those with medical needs, anxiety, or additional care requirements. I am confident administering medication, recognising signs of illness, and ensuring pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Working as an Ambulance Clinician has strengthened my calm, responsible, and trustworthy nature, especially in high-pressure situations. I understand how important it is for owners to know their pets are in safe hands, and I treat every animal with the same care and affection I would give my own. Whether it’s walks, feeding, overnight stays, playtime, or companionship, I provide attentive, personalised care and genuinely love building bonds with animals I currently work shifts as an ambulance clinician, when I schedule pet care it will not be during my working days. My days when I am providing pet care will revolve around the animals normal routine or as close as I can. I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment for every pet in my care. I follow each pet's normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise, medication (if required), and any special care instructions. I make sure pets always have access to fresh water, a secure space to rest, and plenty of attention, enrichment, and supervision. I have a fenced garden and have access to open fields with wooden fencing. When caring for pets in an owner's home, I respect the home and maintain the pet's usual routine to help them feel comfortable and reduce stress. I keep owners updated with regular messages, photos, and reports. Safety is my priority, so I monitor pets closely during walks, playtime, and interactions with other animals, and I follow all instructions regarding health, behavior, and emergency contacts
About: Since the age of 10, my life has been dedicated to animals. Growing up on a farm in Portugal, I was surrounded by the heartbreaking reality of stray animals, which sparked a lifelong mission to help. I couldn't turn a blind eye; I brought home every animal in need—from dogs and cats to injured birds. Eventually, after endless ignored "no more animals after this one" pleas, my parents finally accepted their fate and helped me build dedicated kennels on our farm. Together with the local community, we provided food, medical care, and a safe haven for these animals until we could find them their forever homes. Through these 17 years of rescue work, I didn't just provide care; I studied animal behavior deeply, learning how to communicate with and comfort dogs of all temperaments. Currently, I am the proud parent of two dogs—a Husky and a rescue Collie/Lab—who are my entire world. I know how difficult it is to leave your fur-babies behind, which is why I treat every guest like a member of my own family. When your dog is with me, they can expect: * 🌟 Endless Love & Cuddles: No shortage of affection and sofa time. 🌟 Active Adventures: Frequent walks and play tailored to their energy levels. 🌟 Paddock Time: I live 10 minutes away from a secure paddock where I take my dogs all the time; I'm happy to take yours for a run there too! 🌟 A "Spoilt" Experience: I promise to love and spoil your pups just as much as I do my own. I truly miss the feeling of being surrounded by "fur" and making a difference in an animal's life. I can’t wait to meet your best friend and give them a home-away-from-home experience! I'm currently studying full time from home so your fur baby will never be alone. Walks 3x a day - morning after and evening I go paddocks often especially in good weather and I am happy to take yours along. I offer a safe, loving environment with a fully fenced-in garden for secure playtime. My two friendly dogs provide great company, ensuring your pet never feels lonely. I am experienced with crate training if needed for sleeping or quiet time. Whether in my home or yours, I prioritize a consistent routine, plenty of supervised exercise, and constant attention to keep your fur baby happy and secure.
“Cassandra was really nice when she took care of Dio for the week we traveled. She was flexible with my time when we met prior the sitting. She was attentive and kept me updated and sent me pictures so it gave me a piece of mind during my Easter holiday. I would definitely recommend her.”
About: I am a licenced home boarder based in Kettering and run my own boarding, daycare and dog walking business. I've worked with dogs professionally full-time for 6 months and part time for over a year. I now care for dogs every day and also have a 2 year old miniature labradoodle named Ziggy. He's full of beans but I've put a lot of effort into his training and it's definitely paid off. I've taken an interest in dog training and although I'm by no means an expert, I do understand dogs behaviours and body language well. I think I want to pursue this as a career in the future but looking to get as much care experience in as possible. Being a dog owner myself I know what it's like to want the best for them. They're family ❤️ Pet (dog) care is my full time job so if I have availability, I will definitely be able to take care of your furry family! After a bad experience putting my own dog into a kennel, I personally always feel more at ease knowing my dog is safe in his own home with someone I can trust. I also understand that some animals can be timid and nervous, I will do my best to gain their trust and companionship at a pace that suits them. I am calm but assertive and very aware of my surroundings so you (and your animals!) will feel safe and secure with them under my care.
“Valle had his first overnight stay with Hayley & his tail wags as soon as he sees her & didn’t give us a second glance when we left. He became attached to one of her dog toys & she kindly let him have it & bring home. Hayley is really lovely, has a kind, friendly, relaxed aura & we felt totally comfortable leaving Valle in her care, we knew he was being well looked after. She is very fast to respond to messages too. I would highly recommend Hayley”
About: I’ve been involved with animals ever since I can remember! From owning 3 horses and 2 beloved rescue dogs! I know how to adapt and change to each animal understanding not all of them are the same. I am also a qualified nurse so from my animal experience and nursing experience I’ve learnt how to communicate with both owner and animal. I work as an nurse as hoc and have enjoyed taking a break from the hospital!! And I have a wide range of availability and will most likely be free! I can communicate effectively with you the owner to understand where your pet is allowed. From owning two rescue dogs I’m also aware of certain dogs being afraid or aggressive to other dogs so I would walk on other side of the path to keep dogs away. I have had a huge experience around poorly pets- My current rescue has to have regular medication including injections and eye drops, I have also had experience with strokes amongst dogs and post operative care. My being a vet has enabled me to pick up critical information for dealing with emergency’s and the general health and well being of animals. I am also aware that dogs love company and like other dogs so I’m suited to all pet needs. I also give great cuddles and I seem to have a good track record with pets and they seem to always want more! I have plenty of time to play with your pups or cats due to being a newly graduate from university. I am available weekdays, weekends and all times of the day. I will ensure your dog remains in eye contact to make sure there’s no escapes. My sister is a qualified vet and my experience and knowledge of emergency care has grown from her. I will have your vets contact number in my phone before any visit/sitting.
