“Dave and Jo provided excellent care to our Standard Poodle, Jeff. We received lots of photos, videos and texts keeping us updated and easing our concern of leaving him for the first time. Jeff came home very happy, and we will definitely book their care again. Brilliant carers.”
“Fantastic dog sitting service from Lisa, Jeff was well looked after and it is clear he enjoyed his time. I got regular updates and photos which helped feel at ease. I would highly recommend Lisa and most certainly be using her dog sitting service again.”
“Having a business function 5 hours from home and needing to find suitable care for our needy French Bulldog was potentially stressful. So glad we found Cathryn and her wonderfully calming approach. She (and her husband) were super accommodating, communicative, helpful, reassuring. Instantly connecting with Merlin when we dropped him off, and sending photos and messages throughout the evening to reassure. When we are in Staffs again and need repeat care, we will be 100% returning to Cathryn. Highly recommended!!”
“I am a returning customer and now Charlotte is Beni's fairy Godmother 🥰🐾, helping me out when I need to be whole day out. Beni truly loves to stay with Charlotte, doesn't stress when I leave and I pick my puppy content and relaxed, with plenty of pictures to enjoy about their day. I cannot recommend Charlotte more for care of your beloved pet when you need.”
“I have never left Edward anywhere before and was worried he wouldn’t cope but Hannah did everything to make sure he was happy and settled will definitely be using her again. Thankyou”
“I felt very comfortable with Megan and had no issues with leaving Rocky with her. She was very loving towards Rocky and made him feel at home. Would definitely book again ⭐️”
About: I’ve been around dogs for many years and understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pet. I have always had 1 or 2 dogs in my life since I was born. Currently my partner Angela and I, and our teenage sons have our own friendly 3 year old Labrador, Bailey, who is a much-loved member of our family. As a family, we provide a calm, loving home where dogs are treated like one of our own. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine and needs, so I’ll always take the time to get to know them and follow their normal schedule as closely as possible. Whether they enjoy long walks, shorter strolls, lots of play or simply relaxing with company, I’m happy to adapt to what makes them happiest. I work a few hours each morning from home completing administrative work in my role as a manager of a children’s home, which means I’m around to provide plenty of attention and care throughout the day. We have a secure, fully fenced garden where your dog will have regular access for toilet breaks, playtime and fresh air. Our own Labrador, Bailey is neutered and enjoys two walks each day. We’re happy to tailor walks to suit your dog’s usual routine and exercise needs. Occasionally, we may take dogs to a secure enclosed dog field so they can safely burn off some extra energy. If this is something you’re happy for your dog to do, we’ll discuss it with you beforehand, including how comfortable they are travelling in the car. We also have a cat, but she prefers to keep herself to herself and stays out of the home or in the conservatory, away from any visiting dogs, so they won’t need to interact. To keep dogs happy and entertained, we have plenty of toys, enrichment activities and even a dog paddling pool for warmer days. We also have a large crate available if your dog is crate trained, so there’s no need to bring your own. If your dog doesn’t use a crate, we’ll happily follow their usual sleeping and daily routine to help them feel safe, settled and right at home. Your dog’s safety and wellbeing are my highest priorities. I know how important it is to leave your pet with someone you trust, so I’ll care for them as if they were one of my own. Our home has a secure, fully fenced garden where dogs can safely play and explore under supervision. Inside, they’ll have a comfortable, relaxed family environment with plenty of company, affection and opportunities to rest. Before every stay, I’ll take the time to get to know your dog’s routine, personality and any specific needs, including feeding, medication, exercise and sleeping arrangements. I’ll follow their usual routine as closely as possible to help them feel settled and at home. I’ll also keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you can enjoy your time away knowing your dog is safe, happy and well cared for.
“This was my first time using this app, first time going on holiday and leaving my boy. Tara is such a lovely, friendly person, offering a complete home from home experience. Myself and my mum were able to enjoy our 11 day holiday knowing our boys were well looked after. We loved the regular updates and pictures that we recieved. I would fully recommend Tara and will definitely be in contact again on our next holiday 😀”
“Molly and her family did a wonderful job looking after our Rocky, daily updates on how he’s doing with photos and videos were all received with pure joy. Will continue to use molly in the future for all of Rocky’s future staycations”
“Hayley was an absolute star looking after our Freddie! She was easily contactable & flexible when making arrangements. Freddie loved his stay & was suitably tired when we picked him up!”
“A day spent in someone else’s home can be a big deal for a dog, but Winnie clearly landed in the right place. Samantha and her family gave her such warm, thoughtful care, and it really showed. The videos and photos they sent throughout the stay were genuinely lovely — reassuring, personal, and full of Winnie looking relaxed, happy, and very much at home. She clearly enjoyed herself , and it’s easy to see why. A wonderful experience from start to finish. Thank you - highly recommend 🐾🐶🤩”

“Maria and her children looked after Dexter for 3 nights whilst I was away on holiday. Dexter was upset on the first night and Marie’s comforted him to make sure he settled in quickly. Her children were great with him too and I received updates during his stay. Thanks for looking after him so well”
“Dina was a fantastic host for Betty our Border Terrier. She and Dina’s dog Daisy got on so well. Betty was obviously very happy in their home. Drop off and pick up were convenient and easy. We would definitely use Dina again”
“5 star review! Chester always has such a great time with Josie. We left him for just over 2 weeks and received regular updates on how much fun he was having, with all the walks and playtime with friends.

About: Caring & Reliable Dog Walker and Pet Sitter in Uttoxeter I have almost 4 years of experience caring for dogs, including puppies and senior dogs. I also have my own dog, Zoe, who has taught me a lot about training and understanding different temperaments. I have the First Aid course. I live just 10 minutes from Bramshall Park and I love long countryside walks, but I always adapt each walk to your dog’s needs – whether playful, energetic or calm. I’m patient, attentive and I love keeping dogs happy and entertained, even during walks, with games and interaction. ✅ Dog Walking – fun, safe and tailored to your dog ✅ Pet Sitting at your home – lots of care, cuddles and regular updates Your dog will be treated with love and attention as if they were my own! Pet care is part of my everyday routine and I love it! I walk my own dog every day and I already take two lovely dogs for a walk every lunchtime, so adding more walks or visits fits perfectly into my schedule. I plan my days around the dogs I care for, making sure they get the right amount of exercise, playtime and cuddles Safety and comfort always come first. At the owner’s home, I follow their routine carefully, keeping everything as familiar as possible for the pet. I give fresh water, feed according to instructions, and spend time playing and giving cuddles so they feel happy and relaxed. At my home, dogs are never left unattended, and I have a secure garden where they can safely enjoy some fresh air. I supervise them at all times and make sure walks are always on a lead unless the owner agrees and it’s a safe area.
“Rachael took care of Pepper for 3 days and I couldn’t be happier! She clearly loves cats and she takes good care of them ♥️ she is precise, always keeping me updated and sending me pictures (when pepper was not hiding 😂) I highly recommend her and I will call her again at the next opportunity!”
About: Welcome to your dog's countryside retreat! I offer loving, attentive dog boarding and day care in a spacious rural home surrounded by nature – perfect for dogs who thrive with space to roam, fresh air, and lots of affection. Nestled in the countryside, our large, secure gardens and acres of private woodland provide the ideal setting for exercise, play, and peaceful walks. I understand that every dog is unique and deserves to be treated like family. Currently, I share my home with my own cheeky wire-haired Fox Terrier puppy, who is always excited to make new furry friends. Whether your dog loves woodland adventures, enjoying the garden or just being part of a calm, loving environment, they’ll be safe, happy, and truly cared for while you’re away. Pet care is a natural part of my everyday life as I have my own Wire Haired Fox Terrier. I'm home throughout the day, so dogs are never left alone for long and are included in my everyday routine - from morning walks through our private woodlands to supervised play in the large, secure gardens. I keep the number of dogs in my care intentionally small, which means every guest receives lots of attention, enrichment, and plenty of calm down time in the home. I’m very flexible with dates and times, can accommodate weekdays and weekends - please feel free to message me with any questions or enquiries. If you would like to come and view beforehand, you would be very welcome, please let me know and I can plan a meet and greet at the house to show you and your dog around! I have a large fenced garden with access to private woodland that can be explored either on or off the lead, depending on your preference. If a crate is required for your dog I can provide this. Dogs are separated at night to ensure plenty of sleep and relaxation.
About: From the moment I got my Dobermann, Mila, in December 2021, I was completely hooked on dogs. Their unique personalities, their boundless energy, and their unconditional love quickly turned me from a dog lover to dog obsessed! When Mila sadly and unexpectedly passed in 2024, I knew I needed to honour her by dedicating more of my life to dogs - especially those still waiting to feel the love she gave me. That’s when I began volunteering at Just for Dogs, a local rescue. For the past year, I’ve spent every Saturday and Sunday walking rescue dogs, giving them much needed human interaction, and helping them build confidence. Even more rewarding has been opening my home to foster some of these dogs - providing them with a safe, loving space where they can adjust to home life and prepare for their forever families. From nervous to confident, tiny to huge, cuddle bugs to playful adventurers, it’s been an honour to play a small role in their journey to happiness. With this experience, I feel confident in offering the very best care for your dog - tailored to their unique needs and personality. Whether it’s long walks, sofa cuddles, playtime, or simply being a calm companion, I’ll make sure your pup feels safe, happy, and loved. I work full-time Monday to Friday, but my flexible hours and ability to work from home mean I can easily fit pet care into my daily routine. This allows me to provide dog walks, drop-in visits, or companionship throughout the day, as well as plenty of attention before and after work hours. I prioritise safety, trust, and a calm environment in every pet care situation. In my home, I ensure dogs have a secure, comfortable space with access to water, toys, and a quiet area to rest. When caring for pets in their own home, I follow the owner’s routines and instructions closely, maintaining a familiar environment and minimising stress for the dog. My goal is always to create a loving, predictable, and safe experience tailored to each pet’s needs.
About: I’m a second year vet student with a strong interest in feline health and welfare. While I have not owned cats myself, I have extensive experience caring for cats belonging to family and friends including feeding, administering routine care, providing companionship and maintaining their normal routines while owners are away. Through my veterinary studies I have gained knowledge of cat behaviour, handling, health and welfare and understand the importance of providing patient, attentive care and creating a calm and comfortable environment for every cat.
About: Growing up on a farm, installs an understanding that the animals care always comes first, no matter, rain, wind, or shine. I have owned horses and dogs all my life, from Dalmatians and rescues to puppies and a working sheep dog giving me years of experience and knowledge when caring for you pup too. I am currently dog walking full time so I can be available and flexible to both you and your pups needs 6am-9pm for whatever it is you require for you & your pup in order to have peace of mind whilst you go about your day. 🐶🐾 Whilst I do not offer full board or overnight home sitting, I am very much open to day house sitting at your home. Please contact for enquires on this in regards to the amount of time required.
About: I’ve grown up around lots of dogs. My dads always had between two and six so as kid walking 3 white German shepards at a time was a good start. I’ve cared for 3 dogs the last two years walking them everyday, one being elderly and needing extra care. Whenever I’m out or round a friends house if there’s a dog I will be playing with it. I’ve been told and feel I have an affinity with dogs so making this a bigger part of my life would be a dream. Nearly 4 years ago I sold my place to move into a van this has allowed to follow my passion, dogs. I can’t tell you how lucky I feel when I’m out with a dog I get on well with. I feel I can communicate with dogs as many have told me I’m their best friend. Now summer is here I play cricket so Saturday day I will be unavailable. I’ve taken care of a wide range of dogs and understand their different needs. I’ve sat for an XL Bully to my dad’s six King Charles Spaniels. One of the dogs I walk I take for longer than I should but the dog needs it so she gets it. I speak to all dogs and feel that they understand the intent behind your words. I have lots of free time and I’m very punctual.
“Megan has been amazing! It was my first time leaving my cat and naturally I was anxious to leave her but Megan really put my mind at ease, she is kind and warm and really has a love for animals.. she sent me regular photos and updates which I’ve really appreciated whilst I’ve been away. My cat isn’t the most social sometimes but she has made good friends with Megan while I’ve been gone and they seem to of become besties 🫶🏼 . I would highly recommend her service and I would definitely book with her again. Thank you so much Megan ❤️”
“It has been a complete pleasure having Danielle take care of Maddie. She communicated brilliantly, was very well organised and best of all, when we got back, it was clear when Danielle said goodbye to Maddie that she liked her and trusted her. I would recommend her and have already booked her for our next trip.”

I have completed two canine behaviour training courses and a canine first aid and CPR course. I work from home, have my own whippet and work selling lure machine on a global scale, I am very flexible with my time and why not give that time to dogs who need it. I am able to dog have stay at my home for the day, i can either pick them up or drop them off depending on your needs. I have a fully fenced in garden, when taking the dogs out on walks, there leads will be put on before I've even opened the door.

“Luna has had a fantastic day today! Thank you for all of the photo’s and updates on her special day with you - I’m so pleased that they got on so well together. We look forward to you looking after her again this week.”
“Lorena was friendly from start to finish. She was able to help initially shy Nala to settle within minutes. Lorena has a dog herself, which helped Nala to settle in well, as she loves being surrounded by other dogs. Nala was excited and happy after a stay at Lorena’s, and I would definitely not hesitate to leave my beloved dog in Lorena's careagain, as Nala returned home happy and settled. Such a great place to leave a dog if you're planning to visit Alton Towers during a stay in the Peak District.”
“Emma was the perfect fit for Luna. Luna's had an absolutely wonderful time today and was immediately very settled. She even ate properly for the first time during our holiday! Luna had a super time exploring the woods and was very relaxed and happy when we collected her. Thank you Emma for looking after Luna so well and we would all definitely love you to look after her again next time we're back in the area.”
“Highly recommend Phoebe. This was my first time leaving Toby in somebody else's hands so I was abit nervous at first, but she updated me along the way as he spent the full day with her and her 2 pooches. Really lovely and down to earth aswell, will definitely be booking again in the future, no complaints whatsoever - thank you so much!”
“Many thanks to Charlotte for looking after Archie and Ralph so well yesterday. They came back very chilled out and clearly well looked after during the day. We will have no hesitation in asking Charlotte to look after them again.”

“I can’t say enough great things about Jenny! From the moment her and her son met my dog River, I knew she’d be in good hands. River can be a little shy with new people, but Jenny’s calm, caring energy immediately put her at ease. I received regular updates, adorable photos, and little notes that showed just how much love and attention River was getting. When I picked River up, she was relaxed, happy, and clearly well taken care of. 10/10 would recommend Jenny to anyone who wants peace of mind and a happy pup!”
“Cathryn and her family were great with Lola. Looked after her at really short notice and she clearly had a great day being walked and getting lots of cuddles. Would highly recommend!”

“Absolutely amazing! Molly took care of my little diva for a daycare and she had an absolute fun! Even met Molly’s daughters. Molly sent updates and was absolutely responsive and sent a video in her massive garden - plenty for my lil fluff ball to run around especially with her energy levels being on the roof after the long drive. Molly was accommodating when we came in. Showed us the space bella can roam around. Definitely recommend booking her. I’ll be using her services again in the future! Thanks molly! Xx”
“Lydia was absolutely fantastic. We have a nervous and territorial rescue dog who is very wary of strangers. Lydia worked hard to gain his trust and did a brilliant job of looking after him and our cats. Thank you Lydia.”
“What a lovely girl, Maddie was amazing with my dog whilst I was away, kept me updated with pictures and chats and I came back to a little happy fluff baby. Would highly recommend Maddie and will most certainly use her services again. Thankyou so much for everything 💓 💖”
About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up in a family with a background in dog behaviour and training, so understanding dogs and their individual personalities comes naturally to me. From an early age, I learned how important patience, consistency, and positive interactions are in helping dogs feel happy, secure, and well cared for. I've spent years around dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds, and temperaments—from energetic puppies who love to play to older dogs who prefer a quieter pace. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each dog's unique personality and making sure they feel comfortable, loved, and cared for while they're with me. I work from home full-time, which means I'm around throughout the day and can give your dog plenty of attention, supervision, companionship, and regular toilet breaks. Your dog will never be left alone for long periods and will always have someone nearby to keep them company. At my home, dogs are treated like part of the family. I have a fully secure, fenced garden where they can safely play, explore, and relax. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles on the sofa, or simply a calm and familiar routine, I'll tailor their care to suit their individual needs. When caring for pets in their own home, I always follow their usual routine as closely as possible to help them feel settled and comfortable. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I take pride in providing reliable, loving care and regular updates so you can enjoy peace of mind while you're away. As I work from home, dogs fit naturally into my daily routine. I'm home throughout the day, so they receive plenty of attention, companionship, regular toilet breaks, playtime, and exercise. Whether your dog enjoys being active or prefers a more relaxed environment, I can adapt to their needs and ensure they feel comfortable, happy, and part of the family while in my care. 🐾 At my place, pets are part of the family! We’ve got a fully fenced garden for them to play safely and plenty of love to go around. When I’m at your home, I stick to your routines so your pet feels happy and comfortable.

About: I am a second year veterinary student with a lifelong passion for animals and hands-on-experience caring for a wide range of pets. Growing up with animals, I have trained my own dogs and regularly care for family, friends and neighbours dogs. Through my veterinary studies, I have developed knowledge of animal behaviour, handling, health and welfare allowing me to easily spot if any health issues arise in your pet. I have also completed placements at a dog and cat boarding kennel and an animal rescue centre giving me practical experience working with animals of different ages, temperaments and needs. I provide reliable and compassionate care, treating every pet as if they were my own. I have recently completed my second year of veterinary studies and am available for pet care from now until 28th September. My schedule is highly flexible including week days and weekends allowing me to accommodate a wide range of pet care needs. Please note that I have veterinary placement commitments during the weeks commencing 17th august and 24th august 2026. During these two weeks, I will be available on weekday evenings after 6pm and throughout the weekends. Outside of these dates, I am available throughout the day and can offer a high degree of flexibility to suit owners schedules. When caring for pets in their own home, I prioritise maintaining their usual routine to help them feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. I follow all instructions provided regarding feeding, exercise medication and any specific care requirements ensuring each pet receives attentive and individual care. I take the time to provide companionship, enrichment and exercise appropriate to the pets needs while monitoring their health and wellbeing. As a veterinary student, I am familiar with animal behaviour allowing me to recognise signs of stress, illness or discomfort and respond appropriately. I also treat owners houses with respect, keeping the area clean and tidy and providing regular updates and photos for peace of mind. My aim is to ensure both pets and owners feel relaxed and confident throughout the pet sitting experience.

About: I’ve been around dogs for many years and understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pet. I have always had 1 or 2 dogs in my life since I was born. Currently my partner Angela and I, and our teenage sons have our own friendly 3 year old Labrador, Bailey, who is a much-loved member of our family. As a family, we provide a calm, loving home where dogs are treated like one of our own. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine and needs, so I’ll always take the time to get to know them and follow their normal schedule as closely as possible. Whether they enjoy long walks, shorter strolls, lots of play or simply relaxing with company, I’m happy to adapt to what makes them happiest. I work a few hours each morning from home completing administrative work in my role as a manager of a children’s home, which means I’m around to provide plenty of attention and care throughout the day. We have a secure, fully fenced garden where your dog will have regular access for toilet breaks, playtime and fresh air. Our own Labrador, Bailey is neutered and enjoys two walks each day. We’re happy to tailor walks to suit your dog’s usual routine and exercise needs. Occasionally, we may take dogs to a secure enclosed dog field so they can safely burn off some extra energy. If this is something you’re happy for your dog to do, we’ll discuss it with you beforehand, including how comfortable they are travelling in the car. We also have a cat, but she prefers to keep herself to herself and stays out of the home or in the conservatory, away from any visiting dogs, so they won’t need to interact. To keep dogs happy and entertained, we have plenty of toys, enrichment activities and even a dog paddling pool for warmer days. We also have a large crate available if your dog is crate trained, so there’s no need to bring your own. If your dog doesn’t use a crate, we’ll happily follow their usual sleeping and daily routine to help them feel safe, settled and right at home. Your dog’s safety and wellbeing are my highest priorities. I know how important it is to leave your pet with someone you trust, so I’ll care for them as if they were one of my own. Our home has a secure, fully fenced garden where dogs can safely play and explore under supervision. Inside, they’ll have a comfortable, relaxed family environment with plenty of company, affection and opportunities to rest. Before every stay, I’ll take the time to get to know your dog’s routine, personality and any specific needs, including feeding, medication, exercise and sleeping arrangements. I’ll follow their usual routine as closely as possible to help them feel settled and at home. I’ll also keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you can enjoy your time away knowing your dog is safe, happy and well cared for.
