About: I grew up on a remote farm, so animals have always been part of my everyday life. From dogs and cats to sheep, chickens and even rats, I’ve been hands on with it all, whether that’s lambing, raising puppies or hatching chicks. I genuinely love being around animals and tend to bond quickly with them, no matter their personality. Over the years, my husband and I have owned a range of pets myself, including dogs, rats and cats - all with very different temperaments. From a reactive rescue Rottweiler (now passed), to a laid-back Pointer, to my current high-energy Dobermann, I’ve developed a well-rounded understanding that every dog is different and that’s completely okay! I have specific experience caring for elderly dogs, including administering medication and managing more complex needs such as incontinence from my late Rottie. On top of that, dog training is a big part of my routine, I put a lot of weight into my animals being well trained and well mannered. My husband and I attend training sessions multiple times a week, so I’m confident handling dogs at different stages, from pooches with basic manners to more challenging behaviours. During the week my husband and I work full time mon-fri with one work from home day - so would only offer weekend boarding as I would want to make sure I was around as much as possible. We are up at 6.30 to feed, play and walk my dogs before work they then have 2 visits from a dog walker while at work and another walk and training session when we get home before dinner, so you could say our life revolves around them. We put alot of weight into having well mannered and trained pets so daily training is always a non negotiable for us - you may say we are strict dog parents but ours thrive on the rouine and boundries we provide, and if you are happy for them to join in, your dog will too! (May even teach them a trick or 2 while you are away!) My world revolves around my dog, and yours would be no different, I will send updates and snippets of their day and what we get up to. We own our home, I have a high fenced garden and live in a very friendly neighborhood surrounded by parks. I have 2 resident crate trained dogs who love to play and 3 local parks within walking distance. If boarding at your home, rest assured I have previously been DBS checked and im happy looking after any tasks you need to while in your home such as watering plants, I even worked as a cleaner for a time so you home will be just as you left it.
“Ann is friendly, reassuring and her love of dogs is obvious. Ann and her husband did a wonderful job of looking after our dog and we have already booked his next stay with them! A really positive experience.”
“Andy looked after our dog Lottie overnight and we honestly couldn’t have asked for better care. From the moment we met him, it was clear how kind, trustworthy and genuinely caring he is with animals. Lottie settled immediately and was so happy and relaxed when we collected her. Andy kept us updated, treated her like one of his own, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It’s obvious he truly loves dogs and takes great pride in what he does. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him and will absolutely be using him again in the future. First class in every way!”
“Thank you very much for looking after our Lakeland Terrier. Communication from the very start was prompt and helpful. It made going away stress free knowing he was in safe hands. Otto was very well looked after and Otto will definitely be staying again.”
“Wala was very responsive when, at relatively short notice, we needed someone to look after our two cocker spaniels, Tripp and Tobi. Importantly, all the administration and scheduling was clear and precise. The dogs were afforded plenty of time to settle into their warm and very welcoming environment before I departed. They were relaxed, happy and content when I picked them up. Wala and Tony clearly have a lot of experience with dogs of all natures and it was a pleasure to make their acquaintance. Thoroughly recommended.”

About: Cats have always been in my life since I was a child growing up on a farm. We have had snuggly house cats, feral farm cats and everything in-between, meaning I have experience with all sorts of cats, from the snuggle monsters to the touch-me-if-you-dare kitties. No 2 cats are the same, some want to cuddle all day, whereas others prefer to scope you out from the top of a wardrobe before they decide if you deserve to pet them, and either is ok! Not only do I have my own cat, but I often look after my friends and families cats while they are away. This has shown me that its not just about popping in to feed them, but its the company, play and santiatry jobs that are just as important to make sure they feel comfortable and content while their favorite people are away.
About: Leon has been around cats since he was a kid, growing up with three at home: Remmy, TJ, and Diego. That’s where his love for cats really started, and it’s turned into more than 15 years of experience being around and caring for them. Even when he lived abroad, he still looked after cats, including his boss’s cat, Mary (the one in the photo), which gave him even more experience with different personalities and routines.
About: I moved to the UK 10 years ago from New Zealand where I grew up in a family home full of pets including dogs, cats, rabbits and a horse. I love having animals around so would love to help anyone out with caring for their furry family members. I work from home and would love some company! I can be relatively flexible but do work the usual 9-5 even though I am at home but am happy to keep any animals who may otherwise be home alone company during the days. I can go for walks at lunch time and after 5pm and do toilet breaks more frequently during the day. I would love to care for anyone’s pets as if they were my own. Happy to answer any queries you may have and can meet you first if you would like.
About: For the last two years Ive been volunteering at Nannas animal shelter in Irthlingborough in the cattery section. I mainly take care of the kittens and former feral cats whilst Im there. The general duties include litter box cleaning and making sure there’s enough food and water for them, but I also give all the cats a little lool through to make sure there’s no injuries as sometimes they’re not the smartest animals 😂 I also have gotten amazing at getting cats to take there medications as a little bonus
About: Hey, I’ve owned pets all my life, grew up with dogs and have owned my own dogs for 5 years from a puppy. I recently rescued a young dog called Nemo, who has issues with her mobility due to a club foot. I’d love to run a doggy day care full time in the future so I’m taking the first steps towards that goal opening my home out to others. I work from home so I’m available to look after dogs throughout the day, my job involves occasional travel but I will know about this in advance, should it be a problem. I am a single mum, with a young boy called Rory. I share custody of him with his Dad so my availability varies depending on where he is. He loves dogs, and is great with them, however a toddler, my two dogs and any additional would be a bit much for me! My dogs Archer and Nemo are friendly, they absolutely love the company of other dogs and they’re always been happy to share their home when we have looked after relatives animals before. Depending on times of drop off/pick up I’m happy to take the dogs on walks along with their normal daily walks, they would love it! I currently work from home, with a small amount of travel required, which I know about in advance and can arrange pet care around this. We have an enclosed garden, stone fences all around. There is a separate dog room, to ensure maximum safety (nothing gets left lying around in there!) I work from home, so, I am on hand to let them out to play/use the toilet, and play with them as well.

“Rayya was brilliant, we threw a curve ball as we needed some help with Buddy on our wedding day. Her communication and flexibility was fantastic and as always it puts our mind at ease as we know we can trust her to look after Buddy as she's a dog person. Thanks Rayya”
“Thank you for taking such great care of Tashi. Each morning she's at your door wagging her tail, for the day ahead. Always greats communication with photos throughout the day”
“We left Nala our puppy with Vicky whilst we took my son off for his first day at university. Vicky sent me lots of updates and pictures and it was clear Nala was happy and relaxed. Knowing Nala was having a good time made the day a lot less stressful. Thank you so much.”
“Natalia was reliable, friendly, and very easy to communicate with. Our dog was clearly well cared for and comfortable. It was a very positive experience overall, and we would happily book with her again. Thanks Natalia!”
“I would highly recommend Nataly to anybody that would need somebody to look after their dog or puppy while at work. She has sent photos and given updates throughout both days Luna has been with her so far, and has also given me some tips on how to keep her burning energy even when she is eating, which is great considering Luna is a very energetic 9 week old puppy. This was my first time arranging anything like this, so I was anxious at first but I am very glad that I have found Nataly to look after Luna. Luna has come back home happy each time and I will definitely be arranging more days for Luna to see Nataly!!”

“Jessica has been amazing and I cannot speak highly enough regarding the fantastic care she has given to my 2 dogs. This is the first time Ive left them, and I was worried about whether it was the right thing to do. Jessica quickly allayed any fears. We had a meet and greet the day before, and went out for a walk to get to know each other. Jessica is very personable, easy to chat to, and most of all so gentle and caring with dogs. I left them feeling confident about the fact they would be well looked after, and they were. I got lots of updates and pictures throughout the day, and when I went to pick up my dogs there were calm and relaxed. I would not hesitate to book again. Thank you Jessica”

About: I have had pets since I have been a child. I am a dog owner my self, but my love to all the animals are important. They all need a human touch and at the end of the day, they are all part of our lives. I work as a freelance in housing sector. So have fair amount of free time for dog walks.I do drive and have own transport to get to homes and collect a dog or two for a short or long walk. I do offer a dog walking only at this moment.

About: Hi! I’m a caring and responsible dog lover who has been a dedicated dog owner since April 2020. Although I don’t have formal pet sitting experience, I have hands-on experience caring for my own dogs every day — including raising a few newborn puppies. This has made me especially patient, gentle, and attentive to dogs’ needs at every stage of life. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet. I will treat your dog like my own family member, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved at all times. Pet care is already part of my daily life as a dog owner, so I easily incorporate it into my routine. I am available after 4:30pm on weekdays and all day on weekends. I also work from home one day between Tuesday and Thursday, which means I can offer daytime care and keep your dog company instead of leaving them alone. I have a flexible schedule during these times and can provide reliable, attentive care, ensuring your pet receives plenty of companionship, supervision, and love. I specialise in caring for pets in their own home, where they feel most comfortable and secure. By keeping your pet in a familiar environment, I help reduce stress and maintain their normal routine. I carefully follow all instructions, stay attentive to their behaviour, and make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for at all times. This approach is especially beneficial for dogs who are anxious, shy, or simply prefer staying in their own space. I’m also happy to provide regular photo and video updates for your peace of mind.

About: Growing up I’ve always been around dogs, from little chihuahua‘s to Great Danes. I frequently dog sit my grandparents yorkie when they go away, and shes old and a little reactive. I can confidently say I can care for any size dog, however if your pup is on the larger side and has reactivity issues Im not the sitter for you as I don’t have the experience or knowledge to safely care for your pup. That’s not to say big dogs are a complete no! As long as they’re friendly I’ll be happy to meet a few fur friend of any size I currently work Friday mornings part time, so plenty of time for your pets needs. Im flexible with how long I can spend with your pet, wether they need to be with me 24/7 (there is an option for them to be able to come to work with me, however it involves a lot of car travel. Please feel free to ask more about this!) or just need some company for an hour whilst your busy I currently have one cat, and shes very low maintenance. I get most of my experience from pet sitting for family members or volunteer work at shelters. I currently am able to pet sit in your own home and drop-ins for any animal, as well as solo walks for dogs (group walks can be discussed if the dogs know each other well or live together!) Your pet will be played with and loved, and above all, cared for
About: Experienced and reliable dog carer with a strong background in both independent and structured settings. Previously ran a successful dog-walking business before transitioning into full-time travel, where I’ve spent the past three years pet-sitting and working with dogs across Asia, Australia, Central America, and South America. My experience includes caring for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and needs, as well as hands-on work in dog shelters in Mexico and Australia. Confident in handling multiple dogs, maintaining routines, and ensuring each animal receives attentive, individual care. Working full-time ( mon- fri) with a remote job, the job is not very demanding and doesn’t need me at my desk the whole time so in between tasks I can play around and let them out for a potty break. I care for pets in the owner’s home by maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible, keeping feeding times, walks, play, and rest consistent to reduce stress. I make sure they feel comfortable in their own environment by giving them attention, exercise, and mental stimulation suited to their personality and energy levels. I keep the home clean and organised, follow any specific instructions closely, and monitor their health and behaviour throughout. I also provide regular updates so owners feel confident their pet is safe, settled, and well cared for in their absence.

About: Animals have always been a part of my life, and having had various pets including my own cat for 22 years, I know what it means to be a devoted pet parent. I am dedicated to providing exceptional care for your fur baby in the comfort of their own home, and offer reassurance and peace of mind whilst you are away. As an extra layer of protection, I am also fully DBS checked. I currently work from home, and am available for drop ins/home visits and walks from Mon - Sun between 7am and 7pm, up to three visits per day. I am also more than happy to do lunchtime visits if your pet just needs someone to check in on them in the day. Love and safety are my priorities, as having taken care of my own cat for over 20 years, I understand the importance of a safe and comfortable environment, and with someone you can trust. I take all aspects of your pet's care into consideration, including their individual nature, specific needs, and daily routine.

About: Dogs have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I currently own two Rottweilers and a German Shepherd and have grown up around Rottweilers and other large breeds throughout my life. My experience has given me confidence in handling strong, energetic dogs as well as understanding different personalities, temperaments and training needs. I am comfortable with large breeds, working breeds, puppies and senior dogs, and I know how important routine, exercise, patience and positive interactions are. Friends, family and neighbours have trusted me to care for their pets over the years, whether that involves walking, feeding, playtime, companionship or maintaining their normal routine while they're away. I treat every dog as if they were my own and strive to provide a safe, loving and reliable environment where owners can feel confident that their pets are in experienced hands. Why I Love Dogs Dogs have always been a part of my family and daily life. I genuinely enjoy spending time with them, whether that's going for walks, playing, training or simply giving them attention and companionship. Building trust with each dog and seeing them happy and comfortable is one of the most rewarding parts of caring for them. Skills ✓ Large breed experience ✓ Rottweiler experience ✓ German Shepherd experience ✓ Puppy care ✓ Senior dog care ✓ High-energy dogs ✓ Basic training reinforcement ✓ Comfortable with strong dogs on walks Caring for dogs is already part of my everyday life as I own two Rottweilers and a German Shepherd.

“Had a lovely meet and greet with Ashika! Was very nervous as my dog is a bit of a barker, but quickly settled and allowed Ashika to throw her ball and give her treats, which was a huge success! Ashika was very chatty, friendly and easy to get along with. Can't wait to see how my dog bonds with her over time!”

About: I grew up on a remote farm, so animals have always been part of my everyday life. From dogs and cats to sheep, chickens and even rats, I’ve been hands on with it all, whether that’s lambing, raising puppies or hatching chicks. I genuinely love being around animals and tend to bond quickly with them, no matter their personality. Over the years, my husband and I have owned a range of pets myself, including dogs, rats and cats - all with very different temperaments. From a reactive rescue Rottweiler (now passed), to a laid-back Pointer, to my current high-energy Dobermann, I’ve developed a well-rounded understanding that every dog is different and that’s completely okay! I have specific experience caring for elderly dogs, including administering medication and managing more complex needs such as incontinence from my late Rottie. On top of that, dog training is a big part of my routine, I put a lot of weight into my animals being well trained and well mannered. My husband and I attend training sessions multiple times a week, so I’m confident handling dogs at different stages, from pooches with basic manners to more challenging behaviours. During the week my husband and I work full time mon-fri with one work from home day - so would only offer weekend boarding as I would want to make sure I was around as much as possible. We are up at 6.30 to feed, play and walk my dogs before work they then have 2 visits from a dog walker while at work and another walk and training session when we get home before dinner, so you could say our life revolves around them. We put alot of weight into having well mannered and trained pets so daily training is always a non negotiable for us - you may say we are strict dog parents but ours thrive on the rouine and boundries we provide, and if you are happy for them to join in, your dog will too! (May even teach them a trick or 2 while you are away!) My world revolves around my dog, and yours would be no different, I will send updates and snippets of their day and what we get up to. We own our home, I have a high fenced garden and live in a very friendly neighborhood surrounded by parks. I have 2 resident crate trained dogs who love to play and 3 local parks within walking distance. If boarding at your home, rest assured I have previously been DBS checked and im happy looking after any tasks you need to while in your home such as watering plants, I even worked as a cleaner for a time so you home will be just as you left it.
“Andy looked after our dog Lottie overnight and we honestly couldn’t have asked for better care. From the moment we met him, it was clear how kind, trustworthy and genuinely caring he is with animals. Lottie settled immediately and was so happy and relaxed when we collected her. Andy kept us updated, treated her like one of his own, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It’s obvious he truly loves dogs and takes great pride in what he does. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him and will absolutely be using him again in the future. First class in every way!”

“Natalia was amazing with our 11 month old Rottweiler Bruce. He instantly was welcomed into such a calm environment. We were super nervous about leaving him for the first time.

About: I am a real animal lover and have owned pets all my life. I have experience with dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs and hamsters. I used to have a Golden Retriever. I have also cared for Westies, a Papillion, Collies, Labradors, a Spaniel, a Cockerpoo, a Bracco Italiano and a Lurcher. I currently have two cats and would love another dog but can’t commit to one full time at the moment- so I’m trying this as a way to get my doggie fix! I regularly take care of friend’s dogs and enjoy long walks with them and plenty of cuddles. (They usually sleep with me on my bed too!) I have experience with both young and old dogs and am happy to administer medication if required. I live in a village with plenty of lovely countryside walks on my doorstep. I currently work part time so I have plenty of free time to care for your pets. I am available most weekends. Your dog will not be left alone for more than an hour or two during a day. I have a large fenced garden. I have two friendly cats (who keep themselves to themselves) so any visiting dogs need to be used to cats.
“Holly was fantastic with Rupert and looked after him so well. It was clear he was really comfortable and happy in her care. She kept us updated and made the whole experience completely stress-free. We’re so grateful and would happily recommend Holly to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and kind to look after their dog.”
“Maisie had a wonderful time with Amanda and Shaun, they gave all the attention she craves, and loved her as much as we do . We will definitely book again with them x thank you so much x”
About: I am a huge animal lover and have owned my own dogs all of my adult life. I grew up with dogs in our family too and always enjoyed helping to look after and walk them from a young age. I have walked and looked after dogs professionally for the last 3 years but have also looked after friends and neighbours dogs for many years as well. I can be flexible with dog walks and dog sitting services. I can provide drop in visits to your home and I can provide sitting services for dogs in mine. I can also do drop in services for cats, rabbits and other small animals. I have a safe, fenced garden to look after your precious pooches! My home backs on to country side which is ideal for lovely walks.
“We used Jessica last minute due to unforeseen circumstances, but she was amazing throughout putting our minds at ease knowing Leo was being well looked after. After the first meet my partner and myself were really happy with Jessica and Troy and left feeling Leo would be cared for. Jessica provided daily updates for the duration of his stay, which helped us massively enjoy our time away knowing our boy was in good hands.. I would recommend and will be using Jessica again in the future.”
“Willow had the best time staying with Andrea and her family it was really nice that they only look after one dog at a time as Willow likes all the attention she can get. They kept us informed with lots of pictures of her adventures during the week which was lovely to receive. We will certainly be booking her next stay with Andrea.”
“Hannah was good with Molly🐾, who is anxious and excitable. Her dog, Hunter, was a gentleman with her. Yesterday was a trial run for them all and I hope Hannah will have Molly🐾 again because having someone calm and competent as a sitter is a great support.”
“Pedro was an amazing dog sitter! He took great care of my dog, providing updates and ensuring he was happy and comfortable. Highly reliable, friendly, and responsible. I would absolutely trust him again!”
