Will definitely book him another holiday with lovely Hannah 😊”

I will defiantly book again when I needs someone to look after him and I would highly recommend Paige to anyone looking for someone that they can trust to look after there dog like there own.”

“This is my second review for Coco because I can’t thank you enough for how much you have done for Luca. It’s been around 20 days we left Luca with you and I never felt so happy and satisfied. I can vouch Coco for anyone who needs a marvellous dog sitter. Luca is terribly missing you all. Thank you so much for giving Luca a wonderful stay.”
“Daniel looked after my two dogs while we were abroad, and I couldn’t be happier with the care they received. He was amazing with both of them, especially my senior dog, making sure all of her medication was given correctly and that she was comfortable and well looked after. I received daily updates and lots of photos, which gave me complete peace of mind and made it so much easier being away from them. It was clear that my dogs were happy, relaxed, and treated with genuine care and affection. I would highly recommend Daniel to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. I will definitely be asking him to look after my dogs every time we go abroad from now on. Thank you so much! for looking after Lizzie and Bella 💖🐶”

We were given plenty of updates and photos, so felt reassured they were being looked after well. Both of our dogs were happy and relaxed when we took them home. A huge thank you for Richard and Bee for their care for them while we were away!”
“Hunny had a great time with Lottie over the weekend. They went on nice long walks and she came back very worn out 😅. She was very quick to reply to messages. I would have liked more photos/communication during her stay but also I didn't ask! Over all happy and would book again :)”

“Dawn is truly exceptional! Her loving and caring nature shone through when she went the extra mile for us. She successfully medicated our cat, who isn't the most compliant patient, twice a day for 10 days straight, even when he put up a fight. Five stars are probably not enough!”

“Nikki looked after our 4 cats for 12 days providing drop in visits. We were anxious to leave them, especially as our eldest has kidney disease and needs regular medication. We needn't have worried though as Nikki took excellent care of them all and kept us updated with daily photos. She is definitely a true cat lover and a lovely person and we wouldn't hesitate to use her again or recommend her to others. 10/10 service! 😊”
About: I have had cats for as long as I can remember, growing up with them from a very young age. Over the years, I’ve developed a deep understanding of their behaviour, personalities, and individual needs. Currently, I have three cats of my own and two dogs, so caring for multiple cats and managing different temperaments is something I’m very comfortable with. I absolutely love cats—honestly, I’m a bit obsessed. I enjoy spending time with them, whether that’s playing with energetic kittens or giving gentle attention to older, more relaxed cats. I’m experienced with cats at all stages of life, from young, playful kittens to senior cats who may need a quieter, more attentive approach. I’m committed to providing a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment for any cat in my care. I understand that every cat is different, and I’m more than happy to accommodate their individual routines, preferences, and needs—whether that means sticking to specific feeding schedules, administering basic care, or simply giving them the space or affection they require to feel at ease.
“We had a fantastic experience with Mara, while she house sat and looked after our two cats for a couple of nights. From the start, she was friendly, reliable, and easy to communicate with, which immediately put us at ease. She took excellent care of our cats, making sure they were well-fed, comfortable, and given plenty of attention. It was clear they were happy and relaxed when we returned, which says a lot. She also treated our home with great respect and left everything clean and tidy. We really appreciated the updates and photos while we were away it made a big difference knowing everything was going so well. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter, and we’d be very happy to have her back again in the future.”
“Gemesia was an absolutely fantastic cat sitter! Immediately put me at ease seeing how gentle she was with Kiki at our meet and greet, as Kiki is quite timid initially. Gemesia provided constant communication throughout the stay with nice long updates, house was well looked after and I came home to a very happy, nonchalant cat which was lovely to see. Thank you so much Gemesia!! Kiki is looking forward to further visits from you in future ☺️.”

I work from home most weekdays, which means your dog will have lots of company, supervision, and flexibility in their routine throughout the day.

I’m patient with puppies and young dogs who are still learning, and I’m happy to reinforce basic training, routines, and good habits. I’m also attentive and gentle with senior dogs who may need a slower pace, extra care, or medication. Above all, I’m responsible, calm, and genuinely love being around dogs.

About: Hi there! I’m Phoebe, a qualified veterinary nurse of 5 years. I have worked within the veterinary industry for 8 years. As a vet nurse specialising in emergency and critical care, I am dedicated to catering to pets with extra or special needs. I understand the unique conditions and requirements that some pets may have, and I strive to provide the highest level of care to meet those needs. I’ve also had the pleasure of working with the Greyhound Trust, where I learned the importance of compassion and dedication in animal care. Additionally, my time at a boarding kennel has given me hands-on experience with a variety of pets, ensuring they receive the love and attention they deserve. I’m passionate about providing the best care for your furry friends and look forward to meeting them! My current schedule is 7 days on and 7 days off. So having every other week off means I spend a lot of time at home! During my 7 days on I work from 15:30 - 00:00. I can care for pets during my week when I am working too if this suits your pet’s needs. I have a 3 bedroom property with a garden that has a large fence around it. I myself have two friendly dogs. Introductions will be made to ensure compatibility with pets. While I am happy to accept raw-fed dogs, I am unable to feed them raw food during their stay with me for the safety and comfort of all pets in my care. I kindly request that raw food not be brought into my home. However, I am happy to cater to raw-fed pets in their own home to ensure their needs are met while under my care.
About: As a lifelong dog enthusiast, I'm the proud parent of a 5-year-old Springer Spaniel and 3-year-old Cocker Spaniel, so I understand the unique energy levels and needs of active breeds. What sets me apart is my commitment to professional development in dog care. I hold a Level 3 Canine First Aid certification through iPET Network, giving pet parents peace of mind knowing their furry family member is in capable hands should any situation arise. As an aspiring dog trainer, I'm actively expanding my knowledge and skills in canine behavior and positive reinforcement techniques. My experience spans puppies to senior dogs, and I understand that each dog has unique personality traits, exercise needs, and comfort levels that require a personalized approach. Working as a writer from home gives me exceptional flexibility to accommodate your pet's needs. I set my own hours and can easily adjust my schedule around dog walks, drop-in visits, and pet care sessions. My home-based work means I'm typically available throughout the day and can provide updates and photos during longer visits. I understand that pets thrive on routine, so I'm happy to work around your dog's established schedule and your family's needs. Safety is my top priority in every interaction. With my Level 3 Canine First Aid certification, I'm prepared to handle any medical situations that might arise, from minor cuts to more serious emergencies. I always carry a basic first aid kit during walks and visits. For drop-in visits at your home, I respect your space and follow your specific instructions to the letter. I'll maintain your dog's routine, use their familiar toys and feeding equipment, and ensure your home is secure when I leave. I provide detailed updates with photos so you know exactly how your pet is doing.
About: Hi, I'm an experienced pet sitter who has themselves had many cats over the years and up until a couple of years a go a lovely Labradoodle. I also spent a year working as an animal care volunteer in Derby for the RSPCA. I currently have 3 cats and often look after cat friendly dogs in my own home. I have over 5 year's of cat and dog sitting / care experience and will provide your pets with fuss on their terms, feed to your instrunctions as will administer any medication. I am happy to do walks, litter tray cleans and changers, provide play, open and close curtains and I will send daily photo and video updates so that you can see how well your pets are doing. As someone who has had cats for over 40 years as well as my own dog, I know them well and love spending time with them, regardless of their age Or needs. I am a bubbly, friendly person who will always give your pets my full attention and whilst you're away I treat them like they are my own. I'll even deal with any new friends that they might bring home. I am very experienced and with cats and have enough experience with dog's to provide your pets with a caring and safe environment when you're away. If you want someone who will give them all the love and care they need whilst you're away or out for the day then I would be more than happy to help. I cover the Cropwells and as far out as Bottesford and the surrounding area. Pet care is my full time job and I’m available 7 days. However as a single parent I won’t be available for late evening calls. I treat all animals like my own. They will always be given as much or as little fuss and love as they or you want.
About: Caring for dogs isn’t just something I do, it’s genuinely the thing that makes me happiest. I’ve been pet sitting and providing care for the last four years, but my experience with dogs started long before that. I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and honestly can’t imagine life without them in it. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routines and little quirks, and I love getting to know what makes each one unique. Whether your dog is energetic and loves adventures, enjoys long walks and playtime, or is happiest curled up having cuddles and company, I make sure they feel comfortable, safe and loved while they’re with me. I know how important it is to leave your pet with someone you trust because they’re family, not just pets. I treat every dog in my care the way I would want someone to treat my own, with patience, attention, affection and genuine care. I truly couldn’t imagine doing anything else. Spending my days around dogs, is what I love the most. I am currently working through a canine care, behaviour and welfare course from home. So I have plenty of time to love and care for your dogs as my main priority. Tell me all about your dog and their routine so I can create a home from home for them to feel safe and welcome and you to feel at ease that your fur baby is being loved and cared for. For me, trust and safety always come first because I understand that leaving your dog with someone else is a huge decision. I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing your dog is in a loving, secure environment where they’ll be cared for as if they were my own. I have four dogs myself, ranging from 4 to 12 years old, and they’ve been around all kinds of dogs over the years. They’re gentle, friendly, playful and have met dogs of all ages, sizes and personalities. They absolutely love making new friends and are great at helping visiting dogs feel welcomed and settled into the home. I live in a small, quiet village surrounded by fields, which means walks and adventures are endless. There’s plenty of space for dogs to explore, enjoy new smells, stretch their legs and simply be dogs. Whether your dog loves exciting walks and discovering new places, or prefers slower strolls taking everything in, there’s always somewhere peaceful and enjoyable for them. My home is full of experience, routine and understanding of dog behaviour. I know that every dog is different — some run in and make themselves at home immediately, while others need a little extra reassurance and time to adjust. I pay close attention to each dog’s comfort, body language and needs so they always feel safe and supported. More than anything, I aim to create an environment where dogs don’t just stay — they belong. A place where they can play, explore, relax, receive lots of affection and enjoy being part of everyday family life while you have complete peace of mind knowing they’re happy and cared for. 🐾 *i am fully insured*
About: 🐾 Hello Katie from Nature Paws! I am located in Six Hills, Leicestershire. I am a natural caregiver and adore dogs. I worked for over 10 years for Mars Petcare so have a strong connection to dogs and the care they need. I have looked after family and friends dogs. I live in the Leicestershire countryside in a beautiful barn conversion. I work from home so get out and about. Your dog will enjoy 1-1 care if they come to stay and be loved, cared for and nurtured as if they were my own. For dog walking I will visit the following villages for walking Barrow Upon Soar, Seagrave, Wymeswold, Old Dalby, Grimston, Ragdale, Sileby, Burton on the Wolds, Thrussington and Rearsby I currently work part time from home and have a flexible schedule. I go out and about frequently. You dog will have attention and care throughout the day I care for dogs in a calm, home-from-home environment where they feel safe, relaxed, and loved. In my spacious countryside barn conversion, dogs have room to explore, rest, and enjoy a peaceful routine with plenty of attention. I stick closely to their usual feeding, walking, and sleeping habits to help them settle in comfortably. For dog walking, I offer gentle, unrushed walks near the dog’s home or in the countryside—always putting their safety and happiness first. I only walk dogs in small groups (or solo if preferred) to ensure individual attention and calm companionship. With a nurturing, family-style approach and over 10 years of pet care experience, your dog is treated like part of the family—because they are.
“First time I’ve used this app, struck gold with Adam who was fantastic. He arranged a meet and greet with our dog Sammy and stayed an hour. Sammy loved him and Adam came 7 mornings to collect him for a walk whilst I’ve been away. Always on time, had a full report everyday by text including photos. Delighted, I will be using Adam again and would recommend him to all. Thank you so much.”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have always loved caring for them. I have a dog of my own who lives with my parents, and I’ve been taking care of him since I was growing up, so I’m very comfortable with the responsibilities that come with looking after a dog. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I’m happy to follow their usual schedule and give them plenty of attention, care, and affection. I’m also comfortable staying in someone’s home and making sure both their dog and home are well looked after while they’re away. I’m reliable, responsible, and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs. My priority is making sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. 🐶❤️ As a university student, I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to caring for pets. My days can vary, but I’m able to work my routine around a dog’s needs, whether that’s morning walks, feeding, playtime, or simply keeping them company throughout the day. I really enjoy having dogs around, and I’m happy to give them plenty of attention and make sure they get the exercise, care, and companionship they’re used to. My flexible university schedule also means I can be available during the day and adapt to different routines and requirements. 🐶🐾 I always want pets to feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed while they’re in my care. I take the time to understand their usual routine, personality, and any specific needs before looking after them. I’m responsible and respectful of both the pet and their home. I make sure doors and gates are secure, keep an eye on pets when they’re outside, and follow their feeding, walking, and medication routines if needed. I also keep their environment clean and tidy. Most importantly, I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and plenty of attention. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I’ll always do my best to give them the same care and love I would want for my own dog. 🐶❤️
About: I recently obtained my Level 2 certificate in animal welfare which allows me to provide an extra level of care to your dog. My understanding of their needs is much greater since accomplishing this also due to the work experience in a busy dog day care, I was quickly brought up to speed managing up to 20 dogs! I have always been passionate about dogs ever since I became a young dog mum, I took my boarder collie dog training when I was 13 and created a fabulous bond which will last a million lifetimes! She lived well into her senior age of 18 where I met all her senior needs 🥰 Unfortunately last year she passed but I loved every minute of being a dog mum so now I'm using my passions to provide a safe and loving environment for other dogs to enjoy as a fun doggy holiday. I am always walking and hiking, I am also a self employed hair dresser which means I am often at home or not far from it. I have a huge secure garden, which is often referred to as a doggy's paradise! I live in a detached barn conversion with a 360 garden. I have an open plan house, with hard floors perfect for dogs. I live 2 minutes from a park and not far from Leicester centre.
About: Hi, my name is Sim, I'm 25 years old, I work full time but on shifts so I have a range of availability based upon my shift patterns. I've got experience in sitting and walking different breeds, and I'm a big breed lover having my own 3 at home! (3 German shepherds!) Currently I do occasionally dog sit for friends and family, typically their dogs stay over with my 3 dogs who love having friends over! So what sets me apart from other walkers and sitters? Well, I love dogs, I've had 5 years of experience (on and off), all my dogs have been adopted and rehomed - so I've worked with a variety of different dogs with different needs. Recently fostering a dog for 3 months and got her trained up before she went to her new home which she's succeeding in! I own a car so I'm happy to travel. And with your permission if you leave your dog with me over night or for a few days, I can take them to locations such as the Peak District to get some quality time in, otherwise to the local parks and nature reserves. 😁 I do have a really big garden which is fenced off. If we require use of a create then we can encourage that with your dog, we just request to provide a bed or item that your dog is currently familiar with to keep in the crate if crate time is required, we want to keep the environment as familiar as possible to help reduce anxiety. My house has multiple cameras situated throughout the property, inside and outside for peace of mind. I work full time but I work different shifts weekly but I know what I'm working well in advance, and I have my partner to lend a hand. Large garden fenced off, cameras around the house and the outside the house so we have eyes on the property at all times. But someone will always be home.
About: As an animal lover and dog mum to two, I know how important it is that your pets are kept happy, healthy and entertained whatever your schedule. I've extensive experience with animals from a young age, having grown up on farms around dogs and horses. Able to offer a range of services to suit your pet's individual needs. I am available monday-friday for dog walking, pet home visits and boarding facilities. At weekends I am available for boarding/sitting. Please contact me to discuss anything outside of these hours as I will always try to be flexible! I have a large fenced garden for dogs to play in and walks will be carried out safely in local countryside and woodland and dogs will never be left unsupervised. Unfortunately I am unable to look after dogs listed on the Dangerous Dogs Act 1991
About: I am currently studying veterinary, so have undertaken many hours of work experience where I have looked after many dogs in a professional environment. I also have a dog with anxiety so understand the needs of this. During the week I have lectures periodically however can still provide services such as dog walking and drop in sessions. Over weekends I have no other commitments such as a job so can provide many walks and sufficient care for your pet(s). I am flexible to how the dog is behaved as I understand some dogs have different needs to others- I am confident to crate a dog and walk dogs on a leash.
About: During lockdown, I walked my neighbour's dog, a massive Bernese mountain dog, a few times per week. It was the best part of my week and I really enjoyed it. I then worked at an animal sanctuary for months, home to seven dogs ranging from Spanish mastiff to Australian shepherd. I walked these dogs weekly for about 5 months. Since I left home to study at university, I have missed that companionship and would like to spend my free time with four-legged friends! I study veterinary medicine and have the opportunity to arrange some parts of my schedule according to my availability. This means I can be somewhat flexible around my working hours to accommodate your pet's needs. I can take your dog on various walks around the neighbourhood. I provide provide drop-in visits, house-sitting as well as dog walking and will do my best to provide a safe and enjoyable environment for your pet.
About: I grew up with cats and dogs. My family was in the pet industry, and I’ve been around animals my whole life. I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I plan my day around feeding, walks, playtime, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable. Ilove them like you I care for pets with patience, attention, and respect. I always follow the owner’s instructions, maintain a calm environment, prioritize safety, and make sure pets feel comfortable, secure, and loved.
About: Hi! I'm Sarah and I've been sitting for over 10 years, no pets or children, I drive and ideally looking for house sits. I would be home full time. I have an Enhanced DBS certificate (highest clearance) on the DBS Update Service and am sitter insured. Pet/house sat all over. Grew up with dogs, cats, fish, hamsters and turtles (not all at the same time!). Happy to meet beforehand to see how we gel. That's about it really. Any questions, feel free to ask. Happy hunting! When I am looking after your pets, I am not working so my focus is completely on your pets and your homes. Look forward to meeting you 😁 I do not have any pets so there are no issues if you're pets are a bit shy or want all the attention for themselves!

“Phineas stayed with Hannah for 2 nights and it was definitely home from home for him. We were very confident to leave our precious year-old boy with her, leaving him for the first time overnight. He is a very lively boy to.manage but that did not daunt her and he had a lovely time with all his needs being met. I think he was sorry to leave! Will definitely book him another holiday with lovely Hannah 😊”

“After dropping Latrell off I received regular updates and photos from Paige which really put my mind at ease and it was clear Latrell was happy and having lots of fun with her and her extremely cute cockapoos Malibu and Cleo. When I picked Latrell up he was relaxed and in no rush to leave which was great to see. I’m very grateful for the updates and attention Paige gave to Latrell throughout his stay. I will defiantly book again when I needs someone to look after him and I would highly recommend Paige to anyone looking for someone that they can trust to look after there dog like there own.”

“This is my second review for Coco because I can’t thank you enough for how much you have done for Luca. It’s been around 20 days we left Luca with you and I never felt so happy and satisfied. I can vouch Coco for anyone who needs a marvellous dog sitter. Luca is terribly missing you all. Thank you so much for giving Luca a wonderful stay.”
“Daniel looked after my two dogs while we were abroad, and I couldn’t be happier with the care they received. He was amazing with both of them, especially my senior dog, making sure all of her medication was given correctly and that she was comfortable and well looked after. I received daily updates and lots of photos, which gave me complete peace of mind and made it so much easier being away from them. It was clear that my dogs were happy, relaxed, and treated with genuine care and affection. I would highly recommend Daniel to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. I will definitely be asking him to look after my dogs every time we go abroad from now on. Thank you so much! for looking after Lizzie and Bella 💖🐶”
“Richard and Bee looked after Bodie and Wanda for a 4 day weekend - we were very pleased with their service and it was clear that they really enjoyed and cared for them both the entire time. We were given plenty of updates and photos, so felt reassured they were being looked after well. Both of our dogs were happy and relaxed when we took them home. A huge thank you for Richard and Bee for their care for them while we were away!”
“Hunny had a great time with Lottie over the weekend. They went on nice long walks and she came back very worn out 😅. She was very quick to reply to messages. I would have liked more photos/communication during her stay but also I didn't ask! Over all happy and would book again :)”
“Pip had a great overnight stay with David and Angie. He was treated as one of the family as soon as he walked through the door. They followed Pip's routine ensuring that he felt welcomed and at ease and it was lovely to receive photos to keep us updated about Pip's day. We're so pleased that we've found such wonderful sitters who provide a fun, loving and caring, home from home experience. Thank you!”
“Dexter had an amazing weekend at Olivia's, he is only 4 months old so is still in his crazy puppy phase but Olivia did a fabulous job of keeping him entertained with walks, games and cuddles. All the photos and videos were brilliant and I could tell he was happy there, he will definitely be going back again.”
“Stephanie swooped in to save us when a previous booking fell through just days before our wedding. She not only stepped up and saved us in our hour of need but took care of our boy as if he was her own. He was so well looked after and we got lots of updates including photos. Honestly cant recommend Stephanie enough. Thank you so much.”
“Absolutely amazing sitter. Could not recommend enoough. Very caring sitter and sent lots of updates which I appreciated. Also extremely accommodating to changing circumstances”
