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!

Ivy took Baxter for a little under 2 weeks at the last minute after an issue with another sitter. She understood his specifc needs well and seemed like a natural. I got excellent communication with regular updates and photos/videos. I would happily take Baxter back again, highly recommended.

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!

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.

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

We were naturally quite anxious about leaving our two dogs overnight, especially as one of them has separation anxiety and, since coming to us as a re-home five months ago, has never been left before. Georgina was incredibly patient, understanding, and reassuring throughout the whole experience. Georgina took the time to make both dogs feel comfortable and kept us updated with messages and photos, which really put our minds at ease. It was clear Georgina genuinely cared about our dogs and made every effort to ensure they felt safe and settled. We collected two happy, well-cared-for dogs, and we’re so grateful for the care and attention they received. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Georgina to anyone, especially if you have a dog who needs a little extra patience and understanding. Thank you for making what could have been a stressful experience such a positive one! We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better first overnight experience.

Luke has been great. Took care of both my dogs Elsa and Bella for 4 nights. They are big and excited dogs so not easy to handle but he did it well. I got updates throughout the day with photos and when something came up he quickly called me and sorted it there and then. Definitely recommending Luke to all my friends and will be using him in the future as he has been amazing and the dogs loved it, they were well looked after. Thank you Luke

Stephanie is an absolute gem! We left our kitten with her for over 2 weeks as we went on holiday and it was our first time leaving him ever for more than a few hours so we were a little anxious. But Stephanie provided daily updates (multiple times a day), sent videos and photos and extra if we asked and let us know how our little guy was doing. It made our time away much more peaceful as we knew he was well loved and cared for at all times! If I could leave a 20 star review i absolute would, worth every penny and more for the level of care and love provided. Thank you so much again xx

About: 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 its feeding, overnight stays, playtime, or companionship, I provide attentive, personalised care and genuinely love building bonds with animals

From our first meet and greet with Lina, we felt immediately comfortable with her, and knew we’d chosen the right person to look after our cats whilst we were away. Our 2 cats are very shy and skittish, but despite that, Lina won them over in a matter of days. Having daily updates with photos was brilliant as we could see how comfortable they were becoming each day, and it was reassuring to know that they were in such great hands. It was clear that Lina took care to properly bond with our cats, keeping in mind their personalities and making sure to go at their pace. When we came home, our house was spotless, and just how we left it, with 2 very happy little cats greeting us. We are so incredibly grateful to have found Lina - we couldn’t have wished for more in cat sitter. She’s a genuinely lovely person who clearly adores animals, and looks after other’s pets as if they were her own. I would give more than 5 stars if I could!

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

They are a messy pair, very demanding and Tamsyn did a perfect job. I have no hesitation in recommending her to look after any pet at all. Just fantastic and kept the kitchen so tidy and spotless with two very demanding rabbits. An amazing job and is highly recommended. Thank you so much Tamsyn xxxx

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: I’ve been involved with animals ever since I can remember! From owning 3 horses and 2 beloved rescue dogs! I know how to adapt and change to each animal understanding not all of them are the same. I am also a qualified nurse so from my animal experience and nursing experience I’ve learnt how to communicate with both owner and animal. I work as an nurse as hoc and have enjoyed taking a break from the hospital!! And I have a wide range of availability and will most likely be free! I can communicate effectively with you the owner to understand where your pet is allowed. From owning two rescue dogs I’m also aware of certain dogs being afraid or aggressive to other dogs so I would walk on other side of the path to keep dogs away. I have had a huge experience around poorly pets- My current rescue has to have regular medication including injections and eye drops, I have also had experience with strokes amongst dogs and post operative care. My being a vet has enabled me to pick up critical information for dealing with emergency’s and the general health and well being of animals. I am also aware that dogs love company and like other dogs so I’m suited to all pet needs. I also give great cuddles and I seem to have a good track record with pets and they seem to always want more! I have plenty of time to play with your pups or cats due to being a newly graduate from university. I am available weekdays, weekends and all times of the day. I will ensure your dog remains in eye contact to make sure there’s no escapes. My sister is a qualified vet and my experience and knowledge of emergency care has grown from her. I will have your vets contact number in my phone before any visit/sitting.

About: 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.

About: I’ve been involved with animals ever since I can remember! From owning 3 horses and 2 beloved rescue dogs! I know how to adapt and change to each animal understanding not all of them are the same. I am also a qualified nurse so from my animal experience and nursing experience I’ve learnt how to communicate with both owner and animal. I work as an nurse as hoc and have enjoyed taking a break from the hospital!! And I have a wide range of availability and will most likely be free! I can communicate effectively with you the owner to understand where your pet is allowed. From owning two rescue dogs I’m also aware of certain dogs being afraid or aggressive to other dogs so I would walk on other side of the path to keep dogs away. I have had a huge experience around poorly pets- My current rescue has to have regular medication including injections and eye drops, I have also had experience with strokes amongst dogs and post operative care. My being a vet has enabled me to pick up critical information for dealing with emergency’s and the general health and well being of animals. I am also aware that dogs love company and like other dogs so I’m suited to all pet needs. I also give great cuddles and I seem to have a good track record with pets and they seem to always want more! I have plenty of time to play with your pups or cats due to being a newly graduate from university. I am available weekdays, weekends and all times of the day. I will ensure your dog remains in eye contact to make sure there’s no escapes. My sister is a qualified vet and my experience and knowledge of emergency care has grown from her. I will have your vets contact number in my phone before any visit/sitting.

About: 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: 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

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

Bambi and Peanut had a wonderful stay and were very well looked after. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. They loved playing with Lottie and clearly had a great time together. They came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. We’d happily book again and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.

About: Save £30 on your first booking with my promo code ZOEC43917! Just enter it at checkout to claim your discount. 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.

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 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: I’ve had dogs since I was 2 years old. I had a German Shepard and a golden retriever. I now have my own cocker spaniel. I absolutely adore animals especially dogs. I had my cocker spaniel trained by 12 weeks old. I’m patient and love getting out with them. I’m sympathetic and care a lot. My dog is my world so know your dogs would be loved and cared for just as much as mine is. Playing, walks or a cuddle they can have it all. I am currently in the middle of a career change so I will have plenty of time to play with your dogs, have cuddles or go for lovely walks! I have a fenced garden with locked gates. The doors are always locked for safety unless the dogs are in the garden where they will be monitored. I have one dog myself she is 3 years old and not spayed. Dogs are never left alone for longer than a hour if I have to pop to a shop and will be let out for the toilet every 2 hours unless needed earlier and will be taken for walks twice a day or three times a day. Dogs will be kept on a lead while on walks regardless of recall for their safety. If dogs are to go in a car to go to a country park for a walk with permission from owner, the dog will always have a dog seatbelt attached to a harness.

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: Save £30 on your first booking with my promo code ZOEC43917! Just enter it at checkout to claim your discount. 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.

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

Ivy took Baxter for a little under 2 weeks at the last minute after an issue with another sitter. She understood his specifc needs well and seemed like a natural. I got excellent communication with regular updates and photos/videos. I would happily take Baxter back again, highly recommended.

We were naturally quite anxious about leaving our two dogs overnight, especially as one of them has separation anxiety and, since coming to us as a re-home five months ago, has never been left before. Georgina was incredibly patient, understanding, and reassuring throughout the whole experience. Georgina took the time to make both dogs feel comfortable and kept us updated with messages and photos, which really put our minds at ease. It was clear Georgina genuinely cared about our dogs and made every effort to ensure they felt safe and settled. We collected two happy, well-cared-for dogs, and we’re so grateful for the care and attention they received. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Georgina to anyone, especially if you have a dog who needs a little extra patience and understanding. Thank you for making what could have been a stressful experience such a positive one! We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better first overnight experience.

Luke has been great. Took care of both my dogs Elsa and Bella for 4 nights. They are big and excited dogs so not easy to handle but he did it well. I got updates throughout the day with photos and when something came up he quickly called me and sorted it there and then. Definitely recommending Luke to all my friends and will be using him in the future as he has been amazing and the dogs loved it, they were well looked after. Thank you Luke

We were so happy with the care given to our puppy and would highly recommend him to anybody looking for day care or dog boarding. Will definitely be rebooking in the future.

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.

About: I’ve been involved with animals ever since I can remember! From owning 3 horses and 2 beloved rescue dogs! I know how to adapt and change to each animal understanding not all of them are the same. I am also a qualified nurse so from my animal experience and nursing experience I’ve learnt how to communicate with both owner and animal. I work as an nurse as hoc and have enjoyed taking a break from the hospital!! And I have a wide range of availability and will most likely be free! I can communicate effectively with you the owner to understand where your pet is allowed. From owning two rescue dogs I’m also aware of certain dogs being afraid or aggressive to other dogs so I would walk on other side of the path to keep dogs away. I have had a huge experience around poorly pets- My current rescue has to have regular medication including injections and eye drops, I have also had experience with strokes amongst dogs and post operative care. My being a vet has enabled me to pick up critical information for dealing with emergency’s and the general health and well being of animals. I am also aware that dogs love company and like other dogs so I’m suited to all pet needs. I also give great cuddles and I seem to have a good track record with pets and they seem to always want more! I have plenty of time to play with your pups or cats due to being a newly graduate from university. I am available weekdays, weekends and all times of the day. I will ensure your dog remains in eye contact to make sure there’s no escapes. My sister is a qualified vet and my experience and knowledge of emergency care has grown from her. I will have your vets contact number in my phone before any visit/sitting.

About: ​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.
