“Emma and her family were very accommodating for our dog Alfie and he has had the best week with them! Emma was very welcoming and understanding of our dogs needs and was a true home from home experience for Alf. Would 100% recommend Emma to anyone, Alfie looks like he has had the best time with daily updates/ photos from Emma during the stay!”

“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.”
“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.”
“Karina is nothing short to amazing. She is so accommodating and I bet my dog likes her more than me haha. He is always so happy to see her, and she is always on top of everything. She sends loads of pictures and updates! Tinto always feels at home with her.”
“We left Dolly overnight with Carl and Claire. I was kept up to date with pictures from her walks and messages to let me know how she was getting on. We were given some really great advice with things to work on with Dolly to aid her walking and being left alone. Would highly recommend. 5 ?”
“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 😊”
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: 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: 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.

I have had my own family pets since I was a young child and can look after nearly any pet. I have previously looked after small-holdings which included animals such as Pigs, chickens, horses, goats etc. I am a weekday worker so i do most of this pet care around my full time job so usually update my availability around days off which now tends to be just weekends and bank holidays. Regular walks, toilet breaks. Never left alone for more than 4hours. Meals twice a day morning and evening. Regular stimulants - pre-agreed with dog owner. Arrangement of toys and play if the dog enjoys this.
“Leah and her partner looked after Reggie very well while we were at a wedding locally for 2 nights. Clear communication and she sent us daily updates, which was greatly appreciated. I wouldn’t hesitate to leave him with her again.”
“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 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!

About: I am a dedicated animal lover with experience caring for cats of all ages, breeds, and personalities. I understand that every cat is unique, from playful and social companions to those who prefer a quieter, more independent environment. I am experienced in maintaining feeding schedules, cleaning litter trays, providing enrichment and playtime, and ensuring cats feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed in their surroundings. I pay close attention to their behaviour and wellbeing, making sure they receive the care, affection, and patience they need while their owners are away. My priority is always to provide reliable, loving care and give owners peace of mind knowing their cat is in safe hands.
“I’m so happy I found Sam ! She is simply wonderful.Very caring, gentle, and attentive with my cat. She kept me updated with messages and pictures, which made me feel completely relaxed while I was away. I could see how much love she has for animals, and my cat was happy and well looked after. She’s amazing, and I would definitely ask her again!❤️”
“I highly recommend Fiona, she’s great with Amber and Dudley, takes time to play with them, sends lots of updates and photos, which I really appreciate. It’s reassuring to know they’re in good hands x”
“Jen was an absolute delight with my Matcha! I was nervous as it's the first time I've had to go away, but Jen reassured me with her care towards Matcha. The photo and video updates showed me that Matcha was in the best care. She's normally very shy, but was so friendly to Jen! Will definitely book Jen again”
“Helen was fantastic! The regular messages and check in's throughout the weekend really put me at ease. Having Helen come to the house took the stress out of leaving the cats at the cattery and they were happier being in their own home. Highly recommend Helen to anyone!”
“Karina looked after my young cat Oakley for a weekend and made sure we always knew he was fine in sending photos and videos. Very responsive & welcoming, making us feel reassured he was okay. Would recommend her.”
About: The cat I own I found abandoned by the side of a country lane in the middle of no where when I was driving one day, after spending five days to catch her and take her to the vets there was no available information on her chip and nobody came forward to claim her either. I offered to give her a home and the rest is history. The best part of the story is the road I found her by I was never meant to go down, I took a wrong turn and I’m glad I did.
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 have 5 years experience within the pet care industry, spending 4 years as a dog groomer, this has helped me understand behaviours and handling many breeds ! Any shape or size !

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!
“Aurelia has been amazing looking after my girls, she's really attentive, communicative and goes out of her way to help whilst you're away. I would absolutely use her again and encourage everyone else to book her too!! Even my fussy cats are a big fan 😁”
“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.”
“I can’t recommend Gabriella enough, she is incredible! Milo is elderly and arthritic, so it made such a difference having someone with veterinary nursing experience caring for him. She quickly recognised when he was becoming uncomfortable on his walk and adapted immediately by using his pram, which showed such great understanding and compassion for his condition. She also gave me really helpful diet and nutritional advice, and I felt completely reassured knowing that if anything seemed off with Milo, she would recognise it straight away and know exactly what to do. Her knowledge around illness, medication and senior dog care really sets her apart from a standard pet sitter. Milo was so well cared for, I received frequent photos and updates and I’ll definitely be using her again. Highly recommend! ⭐❤️”
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
“Kirsty is just brilliant. We know we can go away and not worry about leaving Rosie. Kirsty sends photos every day so we can see how Rosie is interacting with her. Kirsty even watered our plants. We would recommend Kirsty 100%”

“Carl looked after Conan on 04.12.23 whilst I was away with work. We met up before the day for initial introductions and agreed that he would visit Conan at home several times across the day. He connected well with Conan and was able to give him a morning run and fuss and an afternoon walk and put down his dinner. He sent me photos of the activities across the day. Would recommend as an excellent dog carer and will be using him again.”
“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.”
“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!”
About: My family has always had a dog since I was 7 years old, mostly we had big dogs aswell. The first big dog we had which I trained her as a puppy when I was around 15 years old. I’m self-employed so I work the hours I want to work. I have the ability to be able to leave my house multiple times a day and fit things in in between working easily. I have a cat myself so I’m very used to caring for a cat. I love dog walking, and I’m very active so I can run/play with your dog if needs be. I have a fenced garden. I love fur babies in general.
“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: 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: 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!
About: Hey! I've been around dogs since I was born. Having dogs in my family is just the norm, they are incredibly smart beings and they really are just a part of your family!

My home if full of love and warmth, your little buddy will love it here! My husband is amazing with dogs, you'll have two pairs of hands to confidently look after your furry friend making our pet care extra safe! Not to mention how much fun your pet will have when my kids come home from school to play! Definitly keeping your little buddy active. We are hoping to get the joy of looking after dogs who already have their own families for a little while. I have plenty of experience with all ages, my previous dogs have had quite a few pups! So needless to say I've encountered everything your lively one can bring! I'm a stay at home momma! I work from home on my own schedule, so I can fit work around my life and pet care I have a detached home with a big garden, there is plenty of space downstairs for your little one to stretch their legs or they can go out if they wish, the patio doors are always open! My Daily schedule is based around the animals I look after, I will always ensure that their needs are met and they will be welcomed with the most positive energy! I will monitor every furry friend that is in my care. If you are looking for someone who you can trust and is reliable, then I am only a message away!
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.
“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!!”

“Helen was great. My pooch seemed happy and well when I got home after a long day at work. Helen even put one of our escaped hens away - going above and beyond the dog walks we'd asked her to do. I'll definitely book Helen again 😊”
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: 🐾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 understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pets and I always aim to make them feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. 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 also volunteered at a veterinary practice before starting university, which gave me early experience working with animals in a professional environment. 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.
“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.”

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 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!
“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.”
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.
“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 :)”

“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.”
“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 left Dolly overnight with Carl and Claire. I was kept up to date with pictures from her walks and messages to let me know how she was getting on. We were given some really great advice with things to work on with Dolly to aid her walking and being left alone. Would highly recommend. 5 ?”

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.
