“Emma and her family are great. A really friendly and welcoming home. Winnie had a fantastic time. Definitely the doggy home we need when we go away. Your pooch is in safe hands here. Thank you guys.”
About: I've had pugs for life. Raised from puppies and was there aiding my beautiful first pug for the birth of my bonded pairs puppies. I now have 2 young pugs which I adore along with my 4 children. I am blessed enough to work from home, and I home educate one of my daughters who is also passionate about caring for animals. We've looked after friends dogs at times and now know it's time to share the love. We want to build on caring for small dogs specifically. We are a home from home set up and your dog will be as free and loved here as our own. I currently work part time from home, so am always available for cuddles and play and walks every day. Toilet breaks are frequent. I can care for diabetic dogs and administer insulin and medications where needed as I've cared for dogs with needs and had my own diabetic dog. I have a fenced garden, a large garden for play, there's comforts in every room. I have 2 dogs for company and 4 children between 6 and 14 and we all love pugs. Your pugs are welcome to lay and sleep on all sofas and beds and might come home a little spoilt.
About: Hi, we’re Harry & Dale. We’ve both grown up with dogs and, as a couple, cared for two very different personalities: Max, a high-energy Patterdale Terrier, and Molly, a gentle senior Black Labrador. That experience means we’re comfortable adapting care to suit individual dogs - from energetic walks and play to calmer routines, medication awareness, and senior needs. We’re patient, attentive, and good at reading behaviour, routines, and cues, helping dogs settle quickly and feel at home. Harry works from home most weekdays, so dogs are rarely left alone and can enjoy company, supervision, and regular comfort breaks throughout the day. Our routine is flexible, calm, and built around the dog’s usual feeding, walking, and rest schedule. Our home is relaxed, clean, and dog-friendly, with a secure garden for supervised outdoor time. We keep routines clear and consistent, follow owner instructions closely, and only take on dogs we’re confident we can care for safely and attentively. We don’t have children, and visiting family is always considered carefully around any dog in our care. Clear communication, regular updates, and your dog’s comfort and wellbeing always come first.
“Hudson our german shepard really enjoyed his stay with Hannah he was well pampered and looked after had some fantastic photos sent to us and kept us and updated every day would recomend her to all our friends and family and will rebook again later in the year . Thank you Hannah you are a star in our eyes”

“Karina is obviously an animal lover and took good care of my cat. She sent regular updates and reached out to ask about his habits etc. When we went to pick him up he seemed very comfortable and confident in his holiday home. Thanks”
“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 😊”
“Jess was lovely and treated my dog with love. We were kept updated with what he had been up to and with photos. We were late returning due to traffic but Jess was very kind and was happy for me to show up a little late to collect, she even offered to keep him for another night of needed. We would feel happy to call on Jess again as we are confident that Ragnar was well looked after and exhausted from playing with her whippet. Thank you so much for everything 💜”
“I simply have to recommend the lovely Carla; she is an incredible person who cared for my little Brie with so much love and affection—treating her as if she were her own. I recommend Carla’s services without hesitation; you can trust her completely to look after your "fur baby." She is attentive, careful, loving, and responsible. Carla, thank you once again for everything.”

About: When I was younger we used to have pets and have grown up taking care of animals. We have a friendly poochon now who is 5 years old and lives for a ball to be thrown. My own dog is walked regularly and cared for like the part of the family that she is. I work from home so am usually close by and never out for longer than 4 hours. I have a fenced garden and pets are welcomed on the ground level of my property. The sofas are covered so the doggos can snuggle for naps. Dogs beds are generally located in the rear of the property downstairs.
About: If I had to choose between spending the day with people or dogs... the dogs would win every time! 😂 I've always been a huge animal lover, especially when it comes to dogs. I've grown up around them my whole life, so caring for them has always come naturally to me. I currently have two gorgeous dogs of my own—Yorkshire Terrier ( Maja) and a Cockapoo puppy ( Mimi) —who are a huge part of my life. They keep me on my toes with lots of adventures, cuddles, and playtime! Alongside caring for my own dogs, I've regularly looked after and walked dogs for family and friends, giving me experience with a variety of breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. Whether your dog is energetic and loves to explore or prefers a slower-paced stroll with plenty of sniffing stops, I'll tailor every walk and visit to suit their individual needs. Pet care is something I genuinely love and enjoy being part of my routine. I’m fully flexible on weekends, making them ideal for longer walks, adventures, dog sitting, and giving your furry friend plenty of attention and care. I’m happy to work with your dog's usual routine and will always do my best to provide reliable, consistent care. Whether your dog needs an exciting adventure walk, some one-to-one attention, or a cosy home-from-home stay, I’ll make sure they feel happy, comfortable, and well looked after. I understand that every dog has different needs, so I’m always happy to chat about what works best for you and your furry friend. 🐶💕 If your dog stays with me, they'll be welcomed into a loving family home and treated like one of my own. I live in a spacious three-bedroom house with a fully secure, fenced garden where dogs can safely play, explore, or simply relax in the sunshine. Inside, they'll have plenty of cosy places to curl up, lots of love and attention, and as many cuddles as they'll allow! For dog walking, I’m happy to offer both solo walks and walks with my own two dogs joining us. If you would like your dog to have a one-to-one walk with me, that is absolutely fine. Alternatively, if you’re happy for your dog to have some friendly company, my two girls would love to come along and enjoy the adventure too! Just let me know what you’d prefer when booking, and I’ll make sure your dog has a fun, safe, and enjoyable walk that suits your wishes. For dog boarding and stays in my home, my two girls will naturally be part of the family environment, so I kindly ask that any dogs staying with me are friendly, comfortable, and happy around other dogs. I’ll always make introductions carefully and make sure every dog feels settled, safe, and welcomed as part of the family. 🐾
“Maria took excellent care of our dog, Rondo, for a week and a half while we were away. Not only did they accept a last minute booking, but they spoiled our boy! Rondo loved running around their fenced garden, going on walks, and getting a puppuccino. We received several pictures of Rondo playing and cuddling and cute updates of his daily activities. Would highly recommend Maria for any dog boarding needs!”
“Kirsty was wonderful. Leo was so happy to see us when we picked him up but kept running back to Kirsty as well. He obviously enjoyed being with her. Kirsty let us know how Leo was doing with photos”

Highly recommend and I will be booking her again in the future. Thank you so much Tracey.”
“Jen did a wonderful job caring for my cats, Amber and Dudley, over Christmas. Amber requires several medications, and Jen handled them with complete ease and confidence. I came home to two very happy, relaxed, and well-cared-for kitties. Thank you so much, Jen”
About: I have a genuine love for animals and I have owned cats, so I understand first-hand how important it is to make sure they are happy, safe and well cared for. Having my own cats has given me plenty of experience with different personalities, routines and individual needs. I’m patient and caring and will always take the time to let a cat become comfortable with me at their own pace. I understand that some cats love attention and fuss, while others are more independent and prefer their own space. When cat sitting, I’m happy to follow their normal routine, including feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter trays, playtime and giving them plenty of attention and affection if they enjoy it. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages while you’re away, so you can have peace of mind knowing your cat is happy and well looked after. I’ll also treat your home with the same respect as I would my own. Most importantly, I’ll care for your cat with the same patience, kindness and love that I give my own. 🐾❤️
“Lina is such a lovely person! ☺️She took amazing care of our cat Jellybean while we were away for 5 days. Every day she updated us with photos and videos, which made us feel reassured. She’s very caring, responsible, and really pays attention to what the animal needs. Our cat was happy and relaxed when we came back. We would definitely trust Lina again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind and reliable pet sitter. ☺️”
“Donna-Lee has looked after our 4 cats twice now when we have been away and we highly recommend her. She kept us up to date everyday via text and sent us pictures of our beloved cats which was very reassuring that they were all ok. It can be very daunting going on holiday and trying to find someone to take care of something so precious .With Donna-Lee you will have complete peace of mind. Professional, reliable animal lover your pets will be in extremely good hands. Thanks again Donna Josh & Morgane”
About: I currently live in a completely pet-free home, meaning your cat will receive my full, uninterrupted focus and a calm environment entirely free from the stress of other animals. At 22, I provide responsible, reliable, and attentive drop-in or sitting services tailored to your kitty's exact needs.
“Crystal has looked after our cats several times now and always does a great job. She is completely reliable and always keeps us updated after her visits. This time she even managed to send a couple of photos of our nervous cat, Tilly, which was lovely!”
“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 😁”
About: I have looked after cats both through my veterinary nursing and through my time working in a boarding facility. I was involved with Cats Protection and the RSPCA. I am available for home visits while you are away to ensure you cat is happy, safe and fed. I am aware my profile pic is me with a dog lol
About: I have lots of experience with cats through both my work and my own pets. I have worked in a cattery, where i cared for cats with different personalities, needs, and routines, making sure they were comfortable, happy, and well looked after. Through my work at Pets at home, I also regularly speak with customers and give advice about cats, including their care, behaviour, food, and general wellbeing. I also have my own cats, which has given me years of personal experience and a great understanding of how individual every cat can be. I absolutely love cats and enjoy getting to know their unique personalities and building a trusting relationship with them.
About: I have lots of experience caring for cats and completely understand that they like to do things on their own terms! Whether your cat is super cuddly or prefers their space, I’m happy to follow their lead. I’m comfortable with feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter trays, playtime, or simply keeping them company if that’s what they enjoy. I pay close attention to their behaviour and wellbeing and will always make sure they’re happy and comfortable while you’re away. I’m more than happy to follow any routines, preferences or special instructions so your cat feels safe and settled in their own home.
“We appreciate Grace taking care of our cat Hayley while we were away. She was communicative throughout the pet-sitting period, always replying to my messages on the same day. Our cat seemed reasonably happy overall, though she was a bit scared when we returned and hadn’t really eaten her wet food during our absence (which is not like her). That said, it’s not unusual for her to be shy with new people, and we believe the sitter handled things with care. We appreciated the clean space when we got home. Overall, a positive experience.”

About: Hi, I’m Maria. My husband and I live in Hanwood Park, and together we offer a calm, loving, home-from-home environment where dogs and cats are truly treated as part of the family. I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs of many breeds and personalities — Schnauzers, Cocker Spaniels, Shih Tzus, Boxers, Lhasa Apsos, Weimaraners, and more — as well as cats. Over the years, friends and families have trusted me with their pets again and again, knowing they’ll be loved, understood, and cared for with patience and attention. What matters most to me is that every dog feels safe, relaxed, and emotionally settled while they’re with us. A Home Built on Trust, Not Just Care I know how hard it can be to leave your dog with someone else — they’re family, not “just a pet.” That’s why I’ve always focused on building long-term trust and familiarity with the dogs I care for, rather than quick, one-off stays. Because my husband and I work as a team of two, your dog benefits from: 🐾Constant human presence 🐾Consistent routines 🐾A calm, stable home environment 🐾Never left alone for long periods 🐾Plenty of affection, cuddles, and gentle play 🐾Walks tailored to your dog’s routine and energy level 🐾Access to a garden for fresh air and relaxed time outdoors 🐾Care adapted to your dog’s personality — playful or quiet, young or senior 🐾Regular updates, photos, or videos if you’d like We especially love caring for dogs whose owners are looking for consistency and continuity — a familiar home they can return to whenever you travel, work, or need support. When a dog stays with us, they’re not just being looked after — they’re welcomed into our home and cared for with patience, kindness, and respect. If you’d like to arrange a meet & greet or ask any questions, I’d be very happy to hear from you. We look forward to welcoming your dog My husband and I both work from home, which means your pet will have plenty of company, attention, and supervision throughout the day. We naturally build pet care into our daily routine, including walks, playtime, cuddles, feeding schedules, and quiet rest time. We’re available for boarding during weekdays, weekends, and longer stays, and we always aim to create a calm, loving environment where pets feel safe, relaxed, and part of the family. We provide a calm home environment with a secure garden, consistent routines, and lots of gentle attention and affection. Because there are two of us, pets are never left alone for long periods and always have someone nearby for reassurance and care. We take time to understand each pet’s personality, habits, and needs so they can feel settled, comfortable, and truly at home with us.
About: I have been involved in caring for dogs for over 35 yrs as a qualified veterinary nurse, manager of a boarding breeding and rehousing kennels and currently as a dog trainer and with my own dogs. I am confident to support with medication, look after nervous, anxious and even aggressive dogs. I am passionate about puppy foundations and safe exposure to a wide variety of experiences to ensure the best start equipping your dog to have confidence and life skills. Your requirements can be discussed if you do have a young dog or even a dog needing to gain some confidence eg a rehome. I can provide a safe, warm home environment for elderly dogs and can offer them time and my experience to ensure they settle in my home. Your pet can socialise with my dogs if this is beneficial but can also be kept separately if required. I have experience working with guide dogs and assistance dogs. My own dogs have been registered Pets As Therapy dogs and used to help individuals conquer dog phobias. Please get in touch to discuss how I might be able to help. 1:1 training opportunities also available by request. I work part time and can devote part and full days to looking after your pet. Pets can be walked once or twice a day with regular toilet breaks. I have a fully secure garden with direct access to local fields and footpaths for county walks. Dogs can be with my own dogs or kept separately if required. Whichever is more beneficial for your pet. I am happy to use crates but this is not a necessity. Dogs can sleep upstairs if required and are welcome on the sofa.
“My dog Bonnie had a great day with Millie and Ziggy! It was great to receive photos of Bonnie curled up on Millie's lap. Bonnie was exhausted in the evening because she had had a great day playing with her new friends and exploring Millie's house. I will happily use Millie again and recommend her to others.”
“Chewie had the best day playing with her friends! She is so well taken care of, has copious cuddles, lots of fun and she always comes home exhausted from all the excitement. Hannah keeps us up to date consistently throughout the day on how Chewie is doing and sends lots of photos to show the fun. We are so grateful to have found Hannah💛”

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 experience looking after dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities, from energetic puppies to senior pets and those who are a little more nervous. My priority is making sure every pet feels safe, relaxed, and comfortable in their own environment while sticking as closely as possible to their usual routine. I take the time to get to know each pet and their individual needs, whether that’s taking things a little slower on walks, keeping to a structured routine, or giving extra care and patience to older or more anxious pets. Occasionally, my partner will join me during a house sit to keep me (and the pets!) company. If that isn’t something you’re comfortable with, or you think it wouldn’t suit your pet, just let me know beforehand and I’m more than happy to work around it. While you’re away, I’ll keep you updated with regular photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pets are happy and well looked after. I always make sure they get plenty of attention, companionship, exercise, and affection, so they feel settled until you’re home again. I’m reliable, punctual, and genuinely love caring for animals. I’ll always treat your pets and your home with the same care and respect as if they were my own. I am currently working and studying from home so I am available for all pet needs and services. Caring for pets is already apart of my daily routine having many pets myself. I’m able to care for pets both in my own home and in the pet owner’s home, depending on what is most comfortable for the pet and preferred by the owner. When caring for pets in the owner’s home, I aim to keep their routine as normal as possible. This includes feeding, fresh water, litter tray cleaning, playtime, and any specific instructions such as medication. I also make sure the home is left clean and secure, and I provide regular updates with photos so the owner has peace of mind. When caring for pets in my own home, I provide a safe, calm, and pet-friendly environment. I ensure they have a comfortable space, follow their usual feeding routine, and give them plenty of attention, exercise, and supervision. I treat every pet as if they were my own and make sure they feel relaxed and cared for during their stay. In both cases, my priority is always the pet’s wellbeing, comfort, and safety.

Because I treat guest dogs exactly like family, your pup will enjoy a balance of active outdoor time,and endless daytime companionship. When pets stay in my home, they are fully integrated into a stable, welcoming family environment, providing consistent companionship throughout the day. When I care for pets in the owner's home, my approach is all about minimising their stress by keeping them in familiar surroundings.If an owner requires overnight house sitting, I stay at their property to provide security and comfort through the night.No matter the setting, I keep owners completely connected to their pets by sending regular, detailed updates alongside plenty of photos and messages.

“Donna-Lee is very experienced with working with dogs and has an air of authority that definitely caught my husky Zelda's attention! Zelda is typically a laid back and happy girl but can pull when she's excited or fidget when waiting to cross the road. When Donna-Lee and I did our meet and greet I was given some complimentary pointers on how to better manage her as a new dog owner, which have definitely helped! I feel very comfortable leaving Zelda with her. ☺️”
“Ayanna was absolutely amazing with our two dogs, doing drop ins and walks whilst we were away. She went above and beyond, sending lots of pictures, videos and even mopped to help with any overnight accidents. We are so grateful and will definitely book again, thank you!!”
About: I have a genuine passion for animals and plenty of hands-on experience caring for pets. I have my own pets, including dogs and cats, which has given me a great understanding of their different personalities, needs, and behaviours. I hold a Level 3 diploma in Animal management with Distinction* grades, as well as qualifications in pet sitting, dog walking and dog grooming. I have also worked in both a cattery and kennels, giving me valuable experience caring for a variety of cats and dogs and understanding their individual routines and requirements. I already work with pets and regularly gain practical experience, while continuing to develop my dog grooming skills. I am caring, reliable, patient, and dedicated to making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care I currently work part-time at Pets at home, although i often work more than my contracted hours depending on the needs of my work place. Because of this, i will fit pet sitting, dog walking and drop in visits around my work schedule and my days off. I always want to make sure i can give every pet the time, attention, and care they deserve, so i will be honest and upfront about my availability before accepting a booking. If you are looking for someone who can be with your pet 24/7, I may not always be the right person, depending on my working days and hours. However, I will always do my best to work with you and create a schedule that suits both you and your pet. When caring for pets in their home, I always aim to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I take time to understand their usual feeding, walking, toileting, medication, playtime, and bedtime routines, and make sure these are followed as closely as possible. I provide plenty of attention, affection, and reassurance while respecting each pet’s individual personality and boundaries. I also make sure their home is left clean and secure, and I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind knowing their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for.
About: Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to check in with, feed, and play with their pets for over a decade. I currently do not own any pets of my own, which means your dog will receive my absolute undivided attention, full care, and 100% of my focus without the stress of competing with other animals. At 22, I provide a safe, active, and loving environment where your furry family member truly comes first. I work 4 on 4 off schedule so i can’t be available every day, but on my days off i have nothing else than taking care of your pet. I provide a completely safe, secure, and stress-free environment for your pets. I have a fully fenced garden where they can run around safely, and because I do not have any pets of my own, my attention is 100% focused on your pet's needs, comfort, and happiness at all times.
“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 😊”
“Lina was very kind today when she and her partner picked Hugo up for the first time and Hugo really liked Lina and her partner too. On return from the hour walk, Lina showed me photos and videos of Hugo on the walk and how well he did with recall and sitting for a treat without jumping. I am very happy with the service. Thank you so much!😊😊”
About: I love all doggies! My Dog was a rescue who was very nervous around other humans and doggies, I took extra care with him re introducing him to new environments - now he is the most loving and playful dog! Have also taken many neighbours dogs for walkies for many years! I work part time as a snowboard instructor, so I have plenty of time to look after my fur baby! He has penny of walks and a doggy paddle pool for this mega heat! It’s all love around here! We have a big garden with lots of shade and a pool if they love water! We give lots of duffle and treats :)
About: As a dedicated pet owner to two dogs and a cat, I have hands-on experience providing attentive and loving care. I’m flexible, dependable, and confident handling a wide range of animals (with the exception of spiders!). My priority is making sure your pets feel secure, comfortable, and cared for—just as they would at home—so you can have complete peace of mind. I am now medically retired so I can completely focus my time on the animals and their needs, so any routine that they require will not be broken, and I am highly flexible also. I treat every pet as if they were my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable and loved at all times. I follow each owner’s routine closely and provide lots of care, attention, playtime and supervision
About: I’ve always loved being around animals and caring for pets has been a big part of my life for many years. Over the past few years, I’ve gained hands on experience pet sitting for families while they travel, including longer stays where I’m fully responsible for daily routines, feeding, walks, playtime and general wellbeing. I’ve looked after a variety of pets with different personalities and needs — from confident, energetic animals to more nervous or independent ones. I’m patient, calm and attentive, and I always take the time to understand each pet’s routine so they feel safe and settled in my care. I treat every pet as if they were my own and make sure owners feel completely at ease while they’re away, with regular updates and photos if requested. At the moment, I have a very flexible schedule, which means I’m able to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care. While I’m currently looking for a more permanent role in animal care, pet sitting fits perfectly into my daily routine and allows me to focus fully on looking after pets. I’m available throughout the day for feeding, walks, playtime, companionship and check ins, and I can easily adapt my schedule to suit each pet’s needs and routine. I always aim to provide a calm, safe and loving environment where pets feel comfortable and well cared for. Whether I’m caring for pets in my own home or in an owner’s home, I make sure routines are followed closely and that each pet’s individual needs and boundaries are respected. In my home, pets have a secure, relaxed space with access to a large garden for fresh air and play (always supervised and in line with owner instructions). I also live very close to a variety of walking routes, which means I can tailor walks to suit different energy levels - from short, gentle strolls to longer, more active walks. I have a friendly cat at home who spends much of their time outdoors or visiting a neighbour, so I’m mindful of introductions and always prioritise safety and comfort. I would only care for pets in my home if they are happy around cats and if owners are fully comfortable with the setup. When caring for pets in an owner’s home, I treat the space with complete respect and make sure pets feel secure in their familiar environment. I keep owners updated with regular messages and photos for peace of mind.

About: I’ve professionally taken care of dogs locally for almost 5 years, from Huskies, Labradors, Cocker-Spaniels to a German Short-haired Pointer that chased a sheep into a canal for me to rescue! 😅 Additionally, my side job as a video editor allows my schedule to be super flexible, allowing me to drive over to you whenever and wherever I am needed! Safety for your pets and respecting your wishes are of utmost importance to me. Cleanliness also takes priority when visiting homes, and I take extra care in respecting property, not just in houses but on walks to, making sure to keep dogs on leads at all times if requested, and making sure they don’t put themselves in harms way.
About: If I had to choose between spending the day with people or dogs... the dogs would win every time! 😂 I've always been a huge animal lover, especially when it comes to dogs. I've grown up around them my whole life, so caring for them has always come naturally to me. I currently have two gorgeous dogs of my own—Yorkshire Terrier ( Maja) and a Cockapoo puppy ( Mimi) —who are a huge part of my life. They keep me on my toes with lots of adventures, cuddles, and playtime! Alongside caring for my own dogs, I've regularly looked after and walked dogs for family and friends, giving me experience with a variety of breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. Whether your dog is energetic and loves to explore or prefers a slower-paced stroll with plenty of sniffing stops, I'll tailor every walk and visit to suit their individual needs. Pet care is something I genuinely love and enjoy being part of my routine. I’m fully flexible on weekends, making them ideal for longer walks, adventures, dog sitting, and giving your furry friend plenty of attention and care.

I understand that every dog has different needs, so I’m always happy to chat about what works best for you and your furry friend. 🐶💕 If your dog stays with me, they'll be welcomed into a loving family home and treated like one of my own. I live in a spacious three-bedroom house with a fully secure, fenced garden where dogs can safely play, explore, or simply relax in the sunshine. Inside, they'll have plenty of cosy places to curl up, lots of love and attention, and as many cuddles as they'll allow! For dog walking, I’m happy to offer both solo walks and walks with my own two dogs joining us. If you would like your dog to have a one-to-one walk with me, that is absolutely fine. Alternatively, if you’re happy for your dog to have some friendly company, my two girls would love to come along and enjoy the adventure too! Just let me know what you’d prefer when booking, and I’ll make sure your dog has a fun, safe, and enjoyable walk that suits your wishes. For dog boarding and stays in my home, my two girls will naturally be part of the family environment, so I kindly ask that any dogs staying with me are friendly, comfortable, and happy around other dogs. I’ll always make introductions carefully and make sure every dog feels settled, safe, and welcomed as part of the family. 🐾

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.
“Chloe was welcoming from the start when I called her , my tiny chihuahua stayed with her for 4 nights and she was so loved and looked after so well I defo reccomend Chloe, she kept in touch with me throughout and felt I could really enjoy my break and not worry at all ! Thankyou Chloe will certainly see you again xx”
About: I am a licenced home boarder based in Kettering and run my own boarding, daycare and dog walking business. I've worked with dogs professionally full-time for 6 months and part time for over a year. I now care for dogs every day and also have a 2 year old miniature labradoodle named Ziggy. He's full of beans but I've put a lot of effort into his training and it's definitely paid off. I've taken an interest in dog training and although I'm by no means an expert, I do understand dogs behaviours and body language well. I think I want to pursue this as a career in the future but looking to get as much care experience in as possible. Being a dog owner myself I know what it's like to want the best for them. They're family ❤️ Pet (dog) care is my full time job so if I have availability, I will definitely be able to take care of your furry family! After a bad experience putting my own dog into a kennel, I personally always feel more at ease knowing my dog is safe in his own home with someone I can trust. I also understand that some animals can be timid and nervous, I will do my best to gain their trust and companionship at a pace that suits them. I am calm but assertive and very aware of my surroundings so you (and your animals!) will feel safe and secure with them under my care.
“We have no problem in leaving Bella with Paul. It is obvious that he cares very deeply for all animals in his care. We know that he will look after Bella as if she was one of his own. He also gave us regular updates and sent plenty of photos/videos so we were reassured that she was doing okay. We would not hesitate to use Paul again.”
“He seems like a genuinely kind and caring person. Ruby was very happy with him, and it was clear she was well looked after. He took great care of her, and I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable dog sitter. Thank you!”
