About: I’ve had a German Shepherd and Staffordshire Bull Terrier Cross rescue of my own. I have also looked after family and friends’ dogs of various sizes. I live in a smoke free home, with no children, with a large walled garden which is safe and welcoming for your pets! I am semi-retired, looking after my own business which is on site. I can be flexible with my hours, so your pets will never be left unaccompanied. I live in a smoke free home, with no children or pets, and a large walled garden. I also live very near public green space and fields, perfect for long walks.
“What a holiday stay! Milo was so well looked after, exercised regularly and really made to feel part of the family. We received plenty of updates and photographs and he got on well with the other dogs. Thank you so much for an excellent stay.”
“Our 2 Cockapoos were so well looked after by Lindsey and Karl. They settled quickly and we got lots of updates whilst we were away. Lindsey and Karl stepped in at the last minute after a new sitter cancelled last minute and we are so grateful they did. Would highly recommend them both as our lovely dogs can be quite discerning but they loved their stay.”
“As always, Colin and family go over and above in caring for our dog Frank. We always go away feeling confident and assured that our dog is very well looked after. Thank you so much..”
“Caroline and Andrew did a great job caring for Luca for the week he stayed with them in August. He had a lovely time and we wouldn't hesitate in recommending Caroline for any future dog sitting requirements.”
“Leaving our baby Lexi with complete strangers when this is the first time she has experienced this (13yrs old in Oct) As a big family this is the first time we all went away together. Helen and Joseph looked after Lexi and gave us updates and photos of how she was doing which helped me settle everyday when I got their message. She was in good hands and would definitely book again should we ever need it. Thank you for looking after our baby!”
“After Sarah agreed to look after Henry. We went to meet her and her husband Bob. Henry took an instant liking to both. We went back for a second meet, Henry ran straight upto them and into the house and made himself at home. I had no doubts what so ever leaving him with Sarah and Bob. Sarah sent photos of Henry, he looked happy and at home. I can't recommend Sarah enough to look after your dog. He will be so well looked after. Will certainly be booking Henry in again. Thank you very much Sarah and Bob for my worry free weekend knowing Henry was with you.”
About: I have grown up around dogs and regularly have my mum’s dog to stay for up to 2 weeks at a time. I trained my family dog when she was a puppy and continue to recap her commands with her. I also have looked after my friends cats when she goes away by checking in a few times a day to feed and play with the cats and ensure they get time to go outside. I am a hybrid worker so have the flexibility to wfh. My hours are flexible so I can ensure I take dogs on long walks during my lunch break and that they are fed and played with at periods throughout the day. I have a fenced garden with plenty of grass and space to go to the toilet and run around. I live at the end of a cul-de-sac so very safe area with no cars passing by and a main road is a bit of a walk away. I allow pets on the sofa and have a plenty of blankets to cover furniture with so don’t mind them jumping up.
“100% will book again! Both dogs was amazing while there, normally my pup luna is a bit shy but she really took to and was happy while there! Loved how many pictures I was sent and response time! When they looked after them it was my wedding day and we was unsure about leaving the dogs but honestly we felt 100% happy and comfortable doing so and our wedding day was so relaxed with us knowing our dogs was safe and looked after!”
“We’re so happy we’ve found Jo, Tim and Angus. Our little fur babies had the best holiday while we were away! We received regular updates, photos and videos, which gave us complete peace of mind knowing they were so well looked after and having a wonderful time. Peanut and Oreo were clearly treated like part of the family, and we couldn’t have asked for better care. We feel so lucky to have found such a lovely family and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy dog sitter.”

About: Hi, I’m Julie 🐾 I’ve been a dog lover all my life and was lucky enough to share many wonderful years with my two Labradors, Rubes and Rio. They were my world, and during the last four years of their lives I chose not to go on holiday because I simply wanted to spend as much time with them as possible. They weren’t “just dogs” they were family, and I know that’s exactly how many owners feel too. Although I’m not ready to have another dog of my own just yet, I really miss having dogs in my life. I regularly look after my son’s lively Cockapoo, and I also care for a colleague’s dog from time to time, so I still get plenty of muddy paws, wagging tails and dog cuddles. I work full time in an office role with the flexibility to work from home on some days, which allows me to spend extra time with the dogs in my care when possible. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, house sitting, and I’d also consider caring for suitable dogs in my own home. I’m an active person who loves getting outdoors, whether that’s a local walk or exploring the countryside. Every dog is different, so I’m happy to adapt to their routine, energy level and personality to help them feel happy, relaxed and loved. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else. I’ll care for your dog as if they were my own and keep you updated with regular messages and photos, so you can relax knowing they’re in safe hands. I work full time in an office role with some flexibility to work from home. I offer dog walking, drop in visits, house sitting and boarding around my schedule, ensuring every pet receives plenty of exercise, attention and care I understand every pet has their own routine, I will always follow the owner’s instructions for feeding, walks,sleep and play. Whether caring for your pet in my home or yours, I’ll provide plenty of love, attention and exercise & update you with regular photos and messages. My aim is to make your pet feel safe, happy and relaxed while you’re away.
About: I have recently lost my 11 year old labradoodle who was my shadow. The house is very empty now and would love to help someone else out to give their dog the best life it can have. I am very flexible with dates and can adapt my part time work as required. I generally work from home and am able to have a dog with me. I also like to take the dog out for a coffee or beer when I am not working but will have a walk out at lunchtime in any case if working. Your dog could sit by me in my office or basically go where he/she likes (bed/garden) 😀 I work 10 days a month from home (mostly) and can change my days within reason. If I am working, your dog can sit in my office or go basically wherever they want in the house/garden. I will walk your dog morning, lunch and evening or as required, whatever they are used to.I can be available at short notice and will do what I can to help out. I am at home with my wife, both daughters have flown the nest. My garden is very secure and your dog will have the freedom of the house. No problem to sleep on the sofa or the bed if that’s preferred 😀 Our garden looks out onto our allotment where my dog used to sit and watch the wildlife go by.
“Highly reccomend Michael and we will certainly be going back. My Luna is a very excitable, high drive dog who is not for everybody but Micheal handled it amazingly. Couldn't be happier with the care that was given.”
“Absolutely amazing!! Maggie and her husband absolutely could not do enough to make sure our Roxy was happy and comfortable. We had regular updates with pictures and it was clear Roxy had absolutely made herself at home. They took extra care to ensure they understood Roxy’s food and any routine she may have (we are very routine less 🤣) highly recommend and without doubt Roxy will be back!!”
“Alastrina took such great care of Jax and kept me updated with messages and photos. You can tell that he had a great time and was happy and content. I would highly recommend Alastrina to everyone.”
“Archie had a lovely time with Jessica and Jonah and their dog Hula. It was a last minute booking but that wasn’t a problem. Jessica sent regular updates and photos and I know Archie was in very good hands. A lovely couple who genuinely care for their four-legged lodgers! Will definitely use again next time. Thank you so much!”

“Agata too really good care of our cat Jenny. It was a real relief to know she was looked after while we were away. We had regular reports, messages and photos to keep us up to date. Would thoroughly recommend!”
About: Iv cared for cats as long as iv been alive! I also study animal care and have been for 5 years. I have a big passion for animal welfare and behaviour so shy or crazy cats don’t scare me. Am happy to pop over for a play and a feed or anything else!
“I have used Suzanne quite a few times now and she gives me a huge amount of confidence with my two little cats. She always checks in and gives them some attention and sends me photos. I would recommend her highly. Thank you again Suzanne.”
About: Although I haven't worked as a professional sitter for long, I have hands-on experience caring for my neighbors' cats while they were away on vacation. I took full responsibility for feeding them, refreshing their water, cleaning the litter boxes, and giving them plenty of playtime, head scratches, and attention. I am very attentive to their behavior, patient, and treat every cat with the same care and respect as if they were my own
“Great communicator, very caring and just wonderful to contact for sitting my kitten. Best part of that my kitten, who's scared of most strangers had no issues playing with Amy. Will contact Amy first if I need a sitter for my cat again. Recommend to everyone else.”
About: Hi, I’m Sophie! I’ve spent over 20 years caring for cats of all kinds—from confident cuddle bugs to shy, independent souls. I understand their routines, quirks, and the importance of a calm, respectful approach. Whether it’s feeding, litter changes, medication, or just keeping them company while you’re away, I’ll treat your cat like one of my own. My partner Scott is also a cat lover and often helps out with drop-ins, especially when extra fuss or backup is needed. We're both committed to making sure your feline friend feels safe and cared for in your absence. I’m reliable, tidy, and always happy to send updates so you can relax while you're away.
About: I have grown up around dogs of all sizes and have spent the last 4 years actively fostering and caring for cats. As a dog owner to two French Bulldogs and an experienced cat foster carer, I understand that every pet has a unique personality and care routine. I offer house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking. Fostering cats has given me hands-on experience reading subtle body language, giving shy or anxious pets space to feel safe, and managing precise feeding and litter schedules. Combined with my lifelong experience handling dogs of all sizes, I bring patience, safety, and genuine love to every booking. You can rest easy knowing your home and pets are in safe, reliable hands, with regular photo updates to keep you connected while you are away!
“I was so grateful to Kate for looking after our cat Azalea, who sadly has recently gone blind. She sent us daily updates and photos whilst we were away, so we felt reassured she was in good hands. I would certainly use Kate again.”
“I was extremely impressed with Beth. She really bonded with my cat, and spent quality time with her. She fed her accordingly to the instructions, and ensured she was safe. Beth sent me loads of pictures and messages to give me peace of mind. I highly recommend her.”
“Katy is smart, polite and attentive to my little furry hooligans. Cats obviously loved having her around. She left the house tidy and secure, and kitty's well fed and entertained. Katy provided pictures after every visit and an update on how the boys were - very important for peace of mind. I'll definitely be using her services again! Thanks Katy!”
About: We have had cats growing up from a baby to late teens. I have also looked after my mother in laws cat when she was away. My experience is so low because unfortunately I do not have cats of my own and none of my family and friends have cats.
“Rohit helped me out very last minute over Christmas when I was let down by another sitter. He arrived promptly and was very attentive. He sent lots of updates and played lots with Margot. I would 100% use his services again.”
“Diane is extremely kind and trustworthy. Prior to my trip, she visited the animals and we discussed requirements. She made her own notes which made me feel very confident, and communicated well whilst I was away. I had no concerns leaving her the house key and felt that she was very respectful towards the house and pets. Thank you again Diane!”
About: My parents and grandparents had cats while I grew up but I only got into looking after them when my parents got an older Tabby after I had finished University. They went on holiday while I was living at home and working locally. I would get up, feed the cat and walk the dog before work and then again when I got home. The cat, Tilly bonded with me. Despite my parents being home or my job changing, Tilly would come to my door 7am every morning and meow at the door till the day she died. I recently moved to Lincoln and as part of the move my wife and I rescued two kittens from a litter of unwanted cats from a farm. The kittens are now adult cats named Mildred and Enid after The Worst Witch characters.
“Abigail looked after my Rottweiler called Ronnie , she was so kind and caring towards him whenever she done her drop in visits. Always treating him as her own, definitely recommend anyone to use her😌”
About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and the care I give to every pet as if they were my own. I’ve grown up around cats, so I’ve always understood their different personalities, routines, and the patience they need to feel comfortable. A few years ago, I adopted a cat who needed a loving home, which made me even more passionate about providing a safe, caring environment for animals. Over the years, I’ve also looked after the cats of family and friends while they’ve been away, making sure they stick to their usual routines and receive plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. I know that every cat is different, some love company, while others prefer their own space and I’m happy to adapt my care to suit each cat’s individual needs. My priority is always making sure they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Nicola was wonderful with our cat Miyah and you could tell Miyah had a lovely time getting lots of fuss during the drop ins! Nicole sent lots of pictures after each drop in, was great with communication and followed all the instructions we left perfectly. I'd absolutely recommend Nicole to anyone looking for someone to take care of their pet!”

“Liberty has been to Brandy’s twice now for daycare. She is kind, attentive and knowledgable and sends picture and video updates throughout the day. Liberty was nervous to go to daycare at first but on the second day she was excited and had her tail wagging when we arrived. I would definitely recommend Brandy’s services.”
“Natalie is lovely and we were very impressed at the care She showed Lexi. Lexi can be quite stressed with new situations but Natalie's calmness really settled her. The photos showed how She enjoyed her time with her! We would definitely recommend Natalie as a competent dog sitter”

Will not let Reeco stay anywhere else I would highly recommend”

“Highly recommend! Jessica and Jonah took an amazing care of our 2 golden retrievers they had them for a full day, they were sending us lots of photos and making sure our dogs are being looked after well. We definitely will be back!”
“Doug has returned tired and happy from his day with Hannah! We had not been able meet Hannah in advance but she was more than accommodating and was super friendly and easy going. It was a hot day so I requested that Doug not be walked but he had access to play and toilet in the garden. We were visiting the area from a fair distance away but if we were ever local again I would book Hannah. I would highly recommend her for doggy care. Thanks Hannah!”
About: I have always adored dogs and I've been taking care of them since my teenage years. My mum met an elderly lady, Sue, at a local library. She needed her dog, Penny, walking, and Mum suggested I helped her. I was 16 at the time and was saving up for a laptop. I had always loved dogs, but never thought about walking them. After a nervous cycle down the country roads and an awkward introduction, I was walking through a wheat field and I realised how peaceful it was. I cherished the experience and since that day, I have been helping with neighbours' dogs, whether that's house sitting them in their own home, walking them or just popping in for 30 minutes. My friend is a dog walker, so I would go for walks with her and I learnt a lot about handling from her too. Since moving to Lincoln with my husband, I haven't had much time to do that, and I don't know my neighbours as well, but I would love to start again and get the ball rolling. I have made a couple of dog walking friends, and we now have our own lovely puppy, Tonka. Training has been tough, so if you choose me to look after your pup, I will definitely keep up with their training as I know how hard it can be! Recently I looked after a friend's dogs in my own home and Tonka loved the experience, however, Archie (my cat) did not, so I would only look after dogs who are good with cats in my own home from now on. I'm currently between jobs. I am a teaching assistant, and I work with children with SEND. The child I was working with at my previous school was in year 6, so has moved on. I am currently looking for a new job, whether that's in school, in a care home or at someone's house as a nanny, so I have plenty of time on my hands to take care of people's pets. I have a decent sized house with a fenced garden that has plenty of space for my lovely boy and your dog/s to make friends and play. My cat likes to try and join in too. I will respect the needs and wishes of your pets and always aspire to give them the love and care they deserve wherever I look after them.
About: I've taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember, my own 2 (Husky/Akita's) are 10 years old and I've had them since they were 10 weeks old I work from my laptop so am usually available whenever and wherever so long as WiFi is available. Both weekdays and weekends (with enough notice) I would visit the owners House before agreeing to look after anyone's cherished pets, whilst there we would talk about feeding/schedules/behaviour/anything I need to know. The aim is to provide the same that the pet is used to and treat them like family
About: I've always been around dogs growing up. We've had big dogs and small dogs as well. I will take your dog out for regular walks. I've a fenced garden where they can play with my year old cockapoo. I'm a full time employee and I work from home most of the times. My wfh days are flexible hence it works well with dog sitting. We have a fenced garden and my own dog to keep them company alongside me. Your dog is allowed to be on sofa and bed unless otherwise mentioned. :)
About: As a lifelong pet owner myself, I know how important it is to leave your pet with someone you trust. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. Whether your pet loves adventures, playtime, cuddles on the sofa, or simply sticking to their usual routine, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable and at home. 🐾❤️ Healthcare professionals can leave their dog with me for their 12hour+ shifts. I am a nurse and I understand the difficulties in accessing daycare that works for you. _________________ Important: As I have my own dog, I can only accept dogs that are friendly and comfortable around other dogs. For the safety and wellbeing of all pets in my care, dogs must be neutered/spayed. I also require a meet and greet before any booking to ensure the dogs are comfortable with each other and that your pet will be happy, relaxed, and safe in my home. I carefully manage introductions and household spaces so that all animals in my care can feel safe, relaxed, and secure. I live with my dog, Simba, and my 17-year-old cat, Tiger, so my routine naturally revolves around caring for them, including walks, feeding, playtime, enrichment, grooming, and making sure they are happy and comfortable. I work at an hospital, and my pet-sitting availability varies weekly so please check my calender. I’m used to planning my days around animals’ needs and routines, and I understand the importance of consistency, patience, and companionship. As a pet owner myself, I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, and caring for them is something I do because I love it, not just as a service. Your pet will receive plenty of attention, affection, and care while they’re with me. 🐾❤️ When caring for pets in my home, their safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I have a secure, fenced garden for dogs to enjoy supervised outdoor time, and my home is a calm, pet-friendly environment. For added security, I also have CCTV covering the property. I always follow the owner’s instructions regarding feeding, exercise, medication, routines, and any specific requirements. I understand that pets can feel unsettled when away from home, so I do my best to maintain their usual routine and provide plenty of attention, reassurance, and enrichment. I live with my friendly dog, Simba, and my 17-year-old cat, Tiger, so I’m experienced in managing a multi-pet household and recognising individual needs and personalities. I’ll ensure pets are fed, exercised, kept company, and cared for according to their normal routine, while also providing updates and photos for peace of mind. 🐾❤️
About: After a health scare & with my boys being much older now, I completed an Animal Care course to gain additional knowledge in animal care. I had a Westie for 16 years & now have a Havachon that we have had for 10 years now. I have built up a good sized portfolio of regular dogs & cats through BARK providing walks, pop ins & stays. *Additional customer reviews can be found on BARK. I am available in the week to walk & the week/weekend to provide pop in visits & day stays at my house. I do go over to France four times per year as we have a small house out there, but this would be discussed with the pet owners. I am offering dog walking, pop ins & day visits to my house. I have a large house & a good sized garden which is fenced & gated with no way to escape. I take my own dog Lola over to another village where there is a lovely long lane where we walk. I have now built up a good sized client base & so I would plan accordingly with your dog or cat & my regular clients.
“Maggie and Toffee had a wonderful time. I booked very last minute and it couldn't have been better. They have a new bestie in Lincoln the Sausage 🥰 Super cuddles and walks and the pictures were so cute. Unfortunately I'm not local, but if I was I'd book again in a heartbeat. Bradley and Pip have a lovely home, perfect for a doggo holiday. Thank you so much Pip for loving them ❤️”
“Milo had a great stay with Sophie, Quinn and Dotty. Sophie was really good with Milo, she took time to meet him before his stay so he would feel more settled when he was dropped off. She is very knowledgeable when it comes to dogs and gave Eva and I lots of really good tips and advice about treats, food, grooming and dog toys and good places to shop for them. During the stay she kept us updated with messages and pictures which is always nice to see thats he's in good hands and having a great time. Milo really enjoyed his stay and will be back again.”
“It was such a relief that Sarah helped us out at short notice while we were away on holiday, she had great communication and she immediately was so loving and affectionate to our dog. She kept us updated through the day so we had a completely worry free trip, and we’d highly recommend her! Thankyou Sarah”

About: I’m Blu! I have been studying animal care since collage and study animal behaviour and welfare at uni! Iv had many pets through my life and always love meeting new fuzzy friends. I have worked in dog kennels and groomers along with reptile shops. I’m happy to work with any breed and behaviours and try and work on some training if wanted! Unfortunately due to student housing I am not able to take in any pets but can visit and play for a while! I am currently unemployed and have nothing to do!! At home I have a pet snake and use to have a dog who I lost to diabetes but had a verity of pets over the years. Now a days I have lots of free time (which I spend doing art) so same day calls will be no problem as I’m free most days. I use to spend a lot of time exploring with my pup, seeing new wooded places but also getting him use to loud areas. We worked on recall so when I saw him sniffing something to eat or roll in he would instead focus on me. Iv worked with many animals over the years including cat and dog behaviour training. What’s important to me is learning who I’m with and what personality they have, whether they prefer a chill cuddle or an excited play I’m down for whatever makes them happy!

About: Hi there! I am a law student at the University of Lincoln. However, I have always had a passion for taking care of amazing animals! I have always loved dogs and I have owned 4 beautiful dogs throughout my lifetime with my family. I have had previous experience working alongside another dog sitter Emily Kennedy in Leigh-on-Sea. We both shared clients and took care of a range of different dogs. This experience taught me a lot about dogs and myself! It taught me how much I love animals and how to care for them. I currently have a dog of my own named chase as well as a tortoise named Mint! I have lots of experience with all kinds of animals and treat them all with kindness and respect. If you give me the chance to take care of your pets I can assure you you’ll be very happy with my service!

About: Hi, I’m Sophie! Before my loyal Malinois, Four, turned me into a full-on dog person, I was a lifelong cat lover—so I truly understand both feline independence and canine companionship. I offer calm, trustworthy care shaped by years of hands-on experience with a range of pets, from affectionate lap cats to high-energy, working-breed dogs. Thanks to Four, I also have experience supporting dogs with pulling, reactivity, and basic training needs—so I know how to keep walks safe and stress-free. My partner Scott often lends a hand on walks and drop-ins—we’re both passionate about animals and committed to providing gentle, reliable care. Whether your pet needs company, exercise, or just a steady presence while you're away, I tailor my care to suit their personality and routine. Because your pet deserves a Five-Star experience! I work full time during the week, but caring for animals is a core part of my daily life. I walk my own dog, Four, every day—rain or shine—so I’m used to fitting pet care around a busy schedule. I don’t work weekends or during school holidays, which gives me extra flexibility for drop-ins and walks. My partner Scott is also an animal lover and often supports with afternoon visits when needed, but I’m always the main point of contact and responsible for bookings and care. Pet care is second nature in our household! Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. I hold a current DBS check and treat every animal with the same care and attention I give my own dog, Four. When walking dogs, I ensure they’re secure on a lead—especially those with reactivity or pulling tendencies—and always check the environment for potential hazards. Whether I’m in your home or mine, I create a calm, secure space tailored to your pet’s needs. For drop-ins, I create a calm, familiar environment for your pet by sticking to their usual routine—feeding, providing fresh water, and giving them the attention they’re used to. I take extra care to follow any specific instructions from you, and I’m always happy to send updates to keep you reassured. Whether your pet is a dog or a cat, I treat them with kindness, respect, and care, ensuring they feel comfortable and safe in their environment.

I am currently training as a dog groomer and have a City & Guilds Level 1 certificate in Dog Grooming and a Canine First Aid Level 2 (VTQ). I feel fortunate to work every day with dogs and I look forward to meetings yours! I currently work as a dog walker during the week, so I have plenty of hands-on experience with dogs and their individual needs. I’m available for additional dog-sitting work from Thursday evening through to Tuesday morning. I also have flexible hours over the weekend, as I work on dog portrait commissions. I have four years of experience walking groups of dogs and dog sitting in my home. I hold a Level 2 Canine First Aid certificate and only care for one dog at a time, allowing me to give them my full attention. I don’t have any pets of my own, so there are no other animals in the home. I’m also close to Clissold Park and Finsbury Park, providing plenty of opportunities for walks and exercise. I always aim to provide a safe, caring environment while following each owner’s instructions and their dog’s usual routine.
About: I’ve had dogs almost constantly since I was 7, of all sizes and temperaments, with a particularly fondness for greyhounds/lurchers. Have looked after friends’ dogs over the last few years too. Currently in between jobs, when I do work it will be part time. Husband currently works from home so almost always someone in the house. Like to travel and be active at weekends so weekdays work better currently. We have a small secure fenced garden with a large park and other field areas nearby for plenty of sniffs and longer walks. Teenage daughter at home who has always been around dogs. Currently have our own beagle who is fairly chilled; happy to not leave any visiting dogs on their own with her if preferred. We do live in a 3 storey house with the living room on the first floor so dogs need to be OK with stairs.
About: So far I have had 20yrs of pet care experience with both my own pets and other people’s. I have looked after a range of animals such as dogs, cats, small animals etc. I aim to make animals feel comfortable in my care and, when boarding, my home is their home. I’m always happy to give pet owners regular updates and pictures to give them piece of mind while their pet is with me and I enjoy building a good rapport with both pet and owner. Age isn’t a factor when looking after any animals, I have previously fostered new born kittens and I’ve also looked after senior dogs and cats so I’m comfortable with all ages. Thanks for reading this and I hope to hear from you in the future. I currently work from home Monday to Friday and only have to go in the office occasionally for a short period of time once a month. This is great as my schedule is very flexible. I attend classes for a hour on a Monday and Tuesday night and if your dog is comfortable I'm happy to have them on these nights but please let me know if your dog doesn't like to be left alone. I have a fenced back garden and live in a semi detached house on a quiet street. I don't have any pets currently so your dog will have my undivided attention.
“I’m always so comfortable leaving Korra with Suzy! She always makes me feel as though Korra is in safe hands, and understands how loving and lovely Korra is ☺️ Always prompt to arrive and always making sure Korra is treated well, I’d recommend Suzy to anyone 🐶”
About: I have grown up around dogs of all breeds, shapes, and sizes, so caring for animals has always been second nature to me. As a dog owner myself—to two wonderful French Bulldogs—I fully understand the love, patience, and attention to detail that pets need to feel safe and happy while their owners are away. I offer both house sitting and dog walking services, making sure your pets maintain their regular routines, feeding schedules, and exercise habits. Whether it’s energetic play, relaxed walks, or just cozy companionship at home, I treat every pet as if they were my own. Having experience with smaller breeds like Frenchies, as well as larger dogs from my upbringing, I’m comfortable handling different temperaments and care requirements. You can rest easy knowing your home and pets are in safe, loving, and reliable hands—with plenty of updates and photos along the way! I am available evenings weekends and some weekdays. I structure my day around giving pets the dedicated time and attention they need. Whether I am house sitting or dropping by for walks, pet care is my primary focus during bookings. My schedule allows for regular walking times, consistent feeding schedules, play, and plenty of quality downtime. I am always happy to adjust my routine to match your dog's specific needs, ensuring they stay on their normal daily schedule while you are away. Safety and peace of mind are my top priorities. When house sitting or walking, I follow all owner instructions precisely—including meal routines, leash protocols, and house rules. I make sure spaces are kept secure, maintain clear communication throughout the stay, and send regular photo updates. Having my own two Frenchies, I am very attuned to safety, heat sensitivity, and keeping dogs comfortable and calm in their familiar environment.
About: I’m a true dog lover, if there is a party I’m the first to sit with a dog and have a comfortable chat, and pat. I was very fortunate to have 17 years with my first baby, a miniature schnauzer, who I adored. The last 5 years of his life required a lot of extra care due to heart problems, and extreme sensitivity to most food. That being said, I’m good at giving medication, and have the extra patience and perseverance to make sure the dog has his proper medication in a calm, loving way. Before my dog was poorly, he was a high energetic gentleman, who loved his 3-4 walks a day. I through enjoy a pets company and like them to feel comfortable, and pampered when in my care. I am the first to volunteer to furbaby sit if any of my friends are going away, and have asked friends if I could borrow their dogs for a nice walk. I currently work remotely (at home during the day) and have two young children in their first years of school. Working from home lets me be a companion with your pet, with breaks for play, breaks in the outdoor garden area, and a nice walk (or two). I have a small high stoned wall garden with a patch of grass, and I always walk with a lead when on public pathways, usually in quiet neighbourhoods, or public parks.
About: I have grown up around dogs and regularly have my mum’s dog to stay for up to 2 weeks at a time. I trained my family dog when she was a puppy and continue to recap her commands with her. I also have looked after my friends cats when she goes away by checking in a few times a day to feed and play with the cats and ensure they get time to go outside. I am a hybrid worker so have the flexibility to wfh. My hours are flexible so I can ensure I take dogs on long walks during my lunch break and that they are fed and played with at periods throughout the day. I have a fenced garden with plenty of grass and space to go to the toilet and run around. I live at the end of a cul-de-sac so very safe area with no cars passing by and a main road is a bit of a walk away. I allow pets on the sofa and have a plenty of blankets to cover furniture with so don’t mind them jumping up.
“Raquel is absolutely fantastic with Korra. Korra loves walks, but is an anxious girly and Raquel is really helping Korra become more confident and present in her walks. Korra also loves Raquel and gets so excited to see her (which is the most adorable thing)!!”

“James is absolutely fantastic with our rescue dog Gary. I was worried about handing him over to someone as he is not the easiest dog to deal with as we believe he has had a very difficult life, James has made a very strong bond with him and is very caring and capable of looking after our looney pup! He is incredibly reliable and trustworthy. Seeing the photos each day has been great too! We would highly recommend James to anyone.”
About: I’ve grown up with all kinds of animals, but dogs are my absolute favourite. I have taken care of my own dogs, but friends and neighbours also rely on me to take care of their pets. I always make sure to account for the needs of the pets in my care, whether they need a walk, a bathroom break, or a tummy rub. I also have a supportive family that also loves dogs. The dogs in my care have a totally supportive environment. Pets in my care always have priority. I will only agree to take care of dogs if I know that I can put them first. I have a fenced garden and a supportive family. Dogs will have access to most of the house - wherever they feel most comfortable. It is a non-smoking house. The stairs can be dog-proofed if required.
About: I’ve had two dogs and 4 cats in my life. The dogs were black labradors I had with my parents one at a time and walked and looked after from puppy to senior. The first two cats we got one at a time as adults, while living at my parents. The second two we got as kittens together and are currently 1 year old while living with my wife. I have also had gerbils, rabbits, fish, horse and chickens while living at my parents. I also used to walk my Granddad’s black Labrador and have had experience with my Uncle’s Jack Russell and Brother-in-law’s Dashhound. I wake up, feed the cats check their water and clean the litter tray all before breakfast and dropping my wife to work. I currently work with schools so the holidays are free. I feed the cats their tea the same time we have tea in the afternoon and currently go for a play in the garden when it's cool in the evenings. I would check on your cats, have a bit of a play and make sure they have food, water and a clean litter tray. For a dog walk I would like to know your regular routine and would be happy with any kind of terrain or weather.

About: A former veterinarian now clinical animal behaviour student at the University of Lincoln with 10+ years of pet care experience across multiple species. Experience with petsitting and providing medical care to animals before the start of my veterinary career then moved to a dedicated veterinary practice for the last 8 years. I love being around animals and just watching and caring for them brings me so much joy! Through my recent education, have developed a better understanding of pet and this aids my motivation to be a pet sitter as I feel like with my experience and knowledge, I would make the experience for the pet wholesome and pleasurable and this in turn would help pet owners to be at easy that their pet is in good hands. I consider myself friendly, open and honest when it comes to my interactions with the pet owners and believe it is important to keep clear communication between us while also making sure they get timely updates and pictures of their pets. I understand this even more as I myself have had pets all through my life and even seeing a photo of them can bring me so much joy. Currently, I own 2 senior dogs, 1 rabbit and a newt back home but in the past I have also owned cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, fishes and birds. I currently live on rent in a house with a dog so I cannot keep animals in my accomodation so would be looking to exclusively pet sit through overnight stays or drop-in visits. I can provide overnight stays on all days. Drop in visits through the day, all days of the week. Walks included in visits usually but would require a trial walk before the visit. I cannot bring pets in my accomodation. At a pet owner's home I can follow any practices the pet is used to whether it is being left in a crate or a specific area of the house before I leave. I can also provide medical care and follow routine and specific medical instructions if needed. I also accommodate requests for watering plants and any other specific house care instructions if within my capacity. I am adaptable and resourceful with my methods and would make any experience for the pet a positive one with keeping comfort and happiness as a priority. I also find it very important that the pet's routine should be as similar to what the owner's would normally do if they were home making it minimally stressful for the pet.
About: I have recently lost my 11 year old labradoodle who was my shadow. The house is very empty now and would love to help someone else out to give their dog the best life it can have. I am very flexible with dates and can adapt my part time work as required. I generally work from home and am able to have a dog with me. I also like to take the dog out for a coffee or beer when I am not working but will have a walk out at lunchtime in any case if working. Your dog could sit by me in my office or basically go where he/she likes (bed/garden) 😀 I work 10 days a month from home (mostly) and can change my days within reason. If I am working, your dog can sit in my office or go basically wherever they want in the house/garden. I will walk your dog morning, lunch and evening or as required, whatever they are used to.I can be available at short notice and will do what I can to help out. I am at home with my wife, both daughters have flown the nest. My garden is very secure and your dog will have the freedom of the house. No problem to sleep on the sofa or the bed if that’s preferred 😀 Our garden looks out onto our allotment where my dog used to sit and watch the wildlife go by.

“Caroline and Andrew did a great job caring for Luca for the week he stayed with them in August. He had a lovely time and we wouldn't hesitate in recommending Caroline for any future dog sitting requirements.”
“Leaving our baby Lexi with complete strangers when this is the first time she has experienced this (13yrs old in Oct) As a big family this is the first time we all went away together. Helen and Joseph looked after Lexi and gave us updates and photos of how she was doing which helped me settle everyday when I got their message. She was in good hands and would definitely book again should we ever need it. Thank you for looking after our baby!”
“After Sarah agreed to look after Henry. We went to meet her and her husband Bob. Henry took an instant liking to both. We went back for a second meet, Henry ran straight upto them and into the house and made himself at home. I had no doubts what so ever leaving him with Sarah and Bob. Sarah sent photos of Henry, he looked happy and at home. I can't recommend Sarah enough to look after your dog. He will be so well looked after. Will certainly be booking Henry in again. Thank you very much Sarah and Bob for my worry free weekend knowing Henry was with you.”

“We’re so happy we’ve found Jo, Tim and Angus. Our little fur babies had the best holiday while we were away! We received regular updates, photos and videos, which gave us complete peace of mind knowing they were so well looked after and having a wonderful time. Peanut and Oreo were clearly treated like part of the family, and we couldn’t have asked for better care. We feel so lucky to have found such a lovely family and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy dog sitter.”

“Laura was a great host looking after our dog for a weekend. Our dog Harley had a lovely stay with her enjoying some nice walks. We received some lovely photos over the weekend which set our mind at ease. Very quick to reply to messages and good price. We will definitely use Laura again next time we go away and thoroughly recommend her to anyone wanting a home from home for their dog.”
“What can I say..absolutely brilliant. Sarah and her partner went above and beyond! I can leave my dog with peace of mind knowing he's well looked after. He was super happy being there and loves them both which is incredibly rare as he never leaves my side. If I could give more than 5 stars I would! Thank you both.”
“Suzanne and her husband were amazing with Belle over the weekend she stayed with them. Belle can be quite cautious around new people and dogs and it was the first time I'd left her with someone she didn't know well but at our first meeting Suzanne medee feel Cofindant the Belle would be looked after, there were Plenty of photos and updates and On picking up Belle she behaved like she'd had a better weekend break then my partner and I did 😅. Will definitely use Suzanne again and after this experience I would be very reluctant to use any one else”
