“Murphy had the best time with Bradley. They cared for him like he was their own. Sent me loads of pics and updates to reassure me. Murphy has some quirks and is scared and anxious so he needs people attentive to things that may scare or trigger him and they were brilliant. Definately recommend and I have him booked in again already.”
“As always, Nelson was really happy staying with Sarah and Ed and well looked after. He definitely seems to settle in and treat them as surrogate parents whilst we are away. Thanks again both of you 🐾💚”
“Another very successful stay for Harvey with Antonia! Thank you very much for looking after and entertaining his Lordship for a couple of days, I really appreciate you fitting him in. Thank you for the pupdates and videos, they are always so reassuring”
“Veronika and her family were lovely and made Teddy feel very welcome. We were updated daily with lots of photos while we were away. I dont think Teddy wanted to come home.”
“I had a fantastic experience with Angeliki looking after my dog, Darcy . She's a lively bouncy little dog with a great personality and loves lots of attention. Angeliki was brilliant with her from the start, it was clear Darcy received plenty of attention, care and playtime, which suits her perfectly, I also really appreciate the updates, which made me feel completely at ease while I was away . When Darcy was collected , she was happy , relaxed and clearly had a wonderful time, it's such a relief knowing she'd been so well looked after. I wouldn't hesitate to book again and would highly recommended Angeliki to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog boarder.”
“Brooke was absolutely amazing. She had cosmo a retriever-cocker mix (the same breed as her puppy) for a day and overnight and he had the best time. She sent loads of videos and photos and he was playing with her lovely dogs sooo much!! She even washed and brushed cosmo and the pick up/ drop off service she offers is fab too. Would highly recommend Brooke and will be using her in the future for any of my doggy boarding needs.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better people to look after our dog, Layla. From the very beginning, it was clear that she was in caring, capable, and genuinely loving hands. Caroline and Andrew took the time to understand Layla’s routine, personality, and little quirks, which made a huge difference. We received regular updates, photos, and messages that gave us complete peace of mind while we were away—it was obvious Layla was happy, relaxed, and well cared for. Layla wasn’t just “looked after”—she was treated like part of the family. We’re incredibly grateful and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the couple to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and truly passionate about dogs. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of Layla—we will definitely be booking again!❤️”
“Jo and Helen were first class with Bailey. We were worried about leaving him as he hadn’t been very well and needed medication but we had no reason to. Jo and Helen took good care of him and giving him his meds didn’t phase them at all. We had full confidence in them and will definitely be using them again. Thank you!”
“Maggie and John are absolutely fantastic caring and easy to communicate with. We had no worries about our Dobby staying with them at all as we knew he would be taken good care of. We got regular updates how is Dobby doing with pictures of Dobby and he looked very happy. 💖🤗”
“Nina had a wonderful time with Jessica and Jonah. She was perfectly looked after and settled in right away. They kept us up to date with some fun pictures during our time away which made us feel relaxed and happy Nina was in safe hands.”
“Emma looked after our little Bonnie for the 2 weeks we were away in Greece, we loved receiving daily updates & photos which gave us so much reassurance & made us smile every day we were away. Bonnie loved spending time with Emma's 2 dogs, Chip & Bobby, going on regular walks with them which was so lovely for her, she had so much fun with them. Seeing Bonnie so happy & content meant the world to us. Emma treated Bonnie like one of her own, giving her so much love, care & attention. She was happy, settled & clearly very well looked after. It's obvious how much Emma genuinely loves dogs. She was amazing & we can't thank her enough! We would highly recommend Emma to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, loving & caring to look after their dog.”
“This is the first time I have tried this service for looking after dogs as an alternative to kennels. Sarah suggested that I bought Jack my border terrier to her premises before making the booking to see if there were any apprehensions, she made Jack feel at home straight away which eased any doubts I had about this type of dog sitting. Sarah has been superb with Jack throughout his stay,keeping me informed by text of his daily routine and sending me occasional photos of jack which showed him being cuddled and well attended too. I can thoroughly recommend Sarah for her care and love of dogs and I won't hesitate to use her again to look after Jack.”
“Neil is a very friendly, helpful man. When I first enquired about leaving our dog with Neil, he was able to rearrange his commitments to make it possible. He had already gone the extra mile before we made the reservation. When we dropped Walnut off with him, Neil gave as a very warm reception and we could see from who he was and how he kept his house that we had made the right choice. During Walnut’s stay, Neil sent us photo and video updates. Upon picking Walnut back up, they were snuggled together on the sofa. Neil had fallen in love with Walnut and she was totally at ease with his gentle spirit. We will now use Neil every time. We are extremely happy with everything. Thank you most sincerely.”
“Georgie was absolutely amazing with Beauden. Her communication was great the whole time — lots of updates and photos, which we really appreciated. Beauden clearly had the best time with her and came back super happy (No kidding, he even cried in the car when we were driving off, making us think he’s found his new home!) We’ll definitely be using Georgie again and can’t recommend her enough! ☺️”
“Zuzzana was excellent thank you. She Only had our 2 little dogs for 3 nights but they came back happy and content. We went for a meet and greet a couple of weeks before sending them and she was very accommodating, communicated well and sent pictures while we were away. Will definitely use her gain. Many thanks”
About: I've had pets for as long as I can remember! Dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, fish and even stick insects! (don't ask - my poor Mum!) I'm comfortable with large dogs and giving medication to pets. I can also look in on small pets too and I'll even put out your bins while you're away :) I'm available for pop-ins after 4pm, Tuesday to Friday and all day at the weekend. I'm also available for overnight boarding at the weekend too. I have a fenced garden and plenty of open space around us to stretch our legs and get a change of scenery. In your home I will follow your usual routine for feeding, play, medication etc.
“Victoria was great with Rocky, he got on well with her and I had plenty of updates showing Rocky was having a good time. 100% will stop by again when we go for our next break. Thank you Victoria!”
About: After losing our dog not too long ago, I feel like there’s a massive gap in our lives and I would love to look after your fur babies, in the way we looked after ours. We have a 6 year old and a 4 year old so they would need to be good with children. I am excited to have all kinds of different breeds in our home that may help us decide what dog we would have join our loving family in the future. We are surrounded by fields as we live in a small village, which has just as many dogs as people in, we ( myself and the dogs) will often bump into other dog walkers so the dog would also need to be sociable with other dogs and humans. I am currently working part time, with only two days a week working 8-5 and I don’t work weekends. We have some plans at weekends like most family’s do, but when booking your pets in I will make sure that the weekend is fully dedicated to your pet. I have an enclosed garden, and live on a close, quite some distance from any main roads. Your dog will be crated if needed. I will do my best to accommodate your needs the best I can, please just ask. There are no other pets currently living with us just two small children.

“Chris looked after my senior cat when I had to be away from home. Consistent visit times and regular updates really helped me feel that everything was OK with Eva while I was away. Especially as her eating had been a little inconsistent, it helped set my mind at ease.”
“Chris has been so so lovely. My cat is usually quite shy and reserved when it comes to strangers but on Chris' first visit, he was very comfortable with her. She sent us updates and was very attentive to Rio's needs. We came back to a very happy cat and we are booking with her again!”

“Fantastic cat sitter! Communication throughout was excellent, calm yet confident energy that both cats responded to very positively. Really impressed with Jaye and her way with both our special needs cats. Came home to relaxed and happy cats and that’s all we wanted. Definitely recommend and will be booking our next sit soon.”
About: I have always had cats around me since I was born, this has given me great experience in caring for cats with different needs! I have also adopted and fostered cats and kittens in the past so I can with confidence say your pets will receive the best care possible with me including lots of love and gentle cat lead affection!
About: I have lots of experience caring for cats as I currently have four of my own at home. Because of this, I’m very familiar with different cat personalities — from very playful and energetic to shy cats who prefer their own space. I understand how important it is to respect their boundaries and help them feel comfortable in their environment. I’m experienced with daily feeding routines, cleaning litter trays, playtime, grooming, and making sure cats get plenty of attention and affection. I also know how important routine is for cats, so I always try to keep things as normal and stress-free as possible while their owners are away. Whether your cat loves to play, cuddle, or simply have someone nearby to keep them company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for.
About: Me and my partner love having a dog or cat to take care of and give some love every now and then. I like to go on walks regularly and it’s nice to have the company whilst out and about. I will do my best to work around a schedule that works for you, so please get in touch so that we can discuss in more detail I am very happy to do any service that makes the owner and the pet most comfortable, whether that be at my house or their’s.
About: I’ve had a passion for animals since I was a little girl. Since graduating with an Hons degree in animal behaviour and welfare in 2021, I have been continuing to develop and share my skills within the animal industry, specifically for training and behaviour in Canines. My aim is to further use my skills and love for animals to care for beloved companions, for owners in need. Whether that be for the day; or longer-term care in their home while owners are away. I have a wide range of experience in handling, training and caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds and differing needs (medical or behavioural). Welcoming all owners and their companions to use my services. I previously worked 3+ years in a Uk canine rescue in there training and behaviour team. I am now going back to uni to further develop my skills through a master's degree in Clinical animal behaviour. My service availability extends across the week for pet sitting, with an understanding that companions being cared for, would need to be able to be left for a period of time during the days I'm at uni (Mon-Tue). Care provided would be based from the pets home. Keeping their home comforts around them while their owners are away. Day to day their routine would be based around their usual daily activities. I would be sure to include some enriching walks and activities to allow them to feel like they are having a holiday of their own.
About: We are a family of 3 who love cats! I have always had cats and have even fostered up to 30 kittens at one time, in Alaska! I cat sat in Thailand for 9 gorgeous Siamese kitties, which was so fun! I also cat and dog sat for a family in Evedon when my son was a small baby. We have 1 family cat now who is a chunky all black girl named Koshka although Orion is desperate for a new kitten! I have experience with alot of different breeds and needs.
About: I have been a military dog handler for the RAF for the past 7 years. And have experience dealing with dogs of all sizes, breeds and temperaments. Pet sitting fits well into my schedule and I am able to accomodate last minute bookings when required. I can easily fit bookings into obscure times such as late evenings and weekends. I love to ensure that pets are happy and taken care of and feel safe in their own environment. I have a dog of my own who is quite difficult so I know the reassurance it gives me to have him looked after in his own house when I am away. And I want to make other pet owners feel the same so they can go on holidays or to work and not worry that their pet is unhappy or stressed. For clarity, my house sitting appointments cover short toilet walks. A longer walk will incur the normal charge on top. During house/dog sitting I will be at your house with your dog or cat for 90% of the time, with me occasionally popping out for refreshments and to run short errands or to check on my son.
About: My experience working with dogs is extensive, having had them as pets for 20 years of my life. At my childhood home we have 3 dogs and 1 cat in the house- so an absolute a madhouse! I have been relied on to walk, feed and bathe the dogs under my care and have house sat multiple friends and family pets. I specialise in the care of small-medium size dogs as this is where my experience lies but I would be happy to look after larger dogs if you don't mind the occasional foray onto google. I have also looked after a dog with epilepsy so i have experience giving regular and emergency medication when necessary. I have looked after 4 litters of puppies and a litter of kittens, toilet training them and teaching basic skills such as sit, fetch and return. We even had to bottle feed one litter of puppies as the mother was not producing milk so I understand the full time care and responsibility that owners require to keep their pets safe and happy. I work 8-5 during the weekdays, two of which I work from home so I have some flexibility when it comes to my schedule. However, I am fully available on weekends unless stated otherwise on my calendar. In my home dogs will be treated like part of the family, given lots of love hugs and attention but still discipline when needed. I like to provide each with a safe space using soft furnishings or a crate if possible so they can retreate of needed. Usually I will crate dogs at night or if I leave the house, which is not often. They are fed and walked (for at least 30 minutes) twice a day, once in the morning and once at night with their regular food. Water is, of course, constantly available and the back door to the garden is open whenever possible. Though I should note that I let dogs out at least once every 2 hours so they can do their business and if a garden is not available then I would take the dog out on the lead outside. In regards to discipline, I usually prefer the carrot over the stick, rewarding dogs when they have done well with first treats and later just a clicker or toy. However if punishment is necessary I would only ever tap the dog on the nose and state a firm no, hitting is never required. For example, if the dog has urinated in the house, I would sharply tap them on the nose, state no, putting their nose in their urine and then simply place them where they need to be - usually outside or on a toilet training area (e.g. newspaper). In regards to safety while walking, I would either use a harness or collar and a non-extendable lead. A dog would not be left off a lead until I have walked with them at least 5 times and built a relationship with them to avoid the dog running off or back home. I usually go to a green area nearby when walking the dogs and like to let them run around wherever possible in the garden, often leaving the door open so they can run in and out. I do of course recognise that all owners have different methods for providing a home for their furry pet so I would defer to whatever rules are already in place with whomever I am hired by.
About: Hello my name is Kallum and I’ve always looked after my family’s own pets, I love animals and animals love me. I have a soft nature and enjoy spending time with animals as they make me happy. I’m currently not working so I’m fully available and can do any date to time. Whichever preference suits you. We can always discuss this further Id talk to them and treat them like they’re a pet of my own as I believe every pet deserves a welcoming face and I will play with them until their hearts content.
About: I've looked after a wide variety of dog breeds and temperaments throughout my life. This included my own personal pets but also neighbours, friends and family. I'm highly reliable and pride myself on my duty of care. I am retired and I am able to provide care during the weekdays with a range of flexibility to provide care during the weekends too. I have a fully fenced garden as well as a completely secure property. Ample space within the property and the garden for pets to enjoy.
“Jordan was great and super flexible, we had come to stay from London with our 4 dogs and needed an adhoc walker/sitter for when we went for days out. Jordan was amazing with updates and pictures and a super friendly person! Thank you so much Jordan for all of your help! ❤️”

“We had an absolutely fantastic experience with Bradley as our pet-sitter for our Maltipoo puppy, Theo. From the start, Bradley's genuine passion for animals was evident, and he quickly established a comforting connection with Theo. Throughout the day, Bradley went the extra mile, regularly sending us delightful photo updates that showcased Theo's joyful time under his care. The highlight was undoubtedly Theo's playdate with Bradley's own dog, Lincoln, providing our pup with a wonderful companion. Thank you, Bradley, for making Theo's day so special!”
About: I’ve taken care of a variety of pets, ranging from energetic zoomers to gentle and vulnerable boomers. I have every intention of ensuring every pet feels and stays safe, happy and healthy whilst their family is away. Growing up in a home with dogs, cats, hamsters, tortoises, and more, I learned early on that pets are a big part of the family. I pride myself on maintaining their routine to reduce anxiety and providing frequent updates with pictures so you’re able to travel with peace of mind. As I work flexible hours from home on weekdays, I have plenty of time to structure my day around your pet’s needs. Whether they need a midday adventure, scheduled medication, or just someone to snooze next to, I have the freedom to ensure they never feel alone or neglected. When your pet stays with me, my home becomes their home. I prioritise a safe, 'pet-proofed' environment where they can relax on the sofa or play in our fenced garden at the back. Before any stay, I do a thorough walkthrough to ensure no hazards are within reach and I stick strictly to your feeding and exercise schedule to keep their digestion and energy levels consistent.
“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”
“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!”
“Cuba had a fab time with Charlotte, Sophie & Izzy. She’s very gentle and appreciated having a quiet time, a leg stretch at lunchtime and a doze on the sofa this afternoon! Thank you for making Cuba so welcome! 🤗”
“Absolutely wonderful. My boy was so happy there that the second day he didn't even worry that I was leaving. I felt completely confident and he felt completely relaxed. Knowledgeable, friendly, and two pairs of absolutely safe hands - can't recommend highly enough.”
“I have left Reeco with Emma twice now. Never left him with anyone before. Emma was amazing made me feel at ease she kept me updated throughout the day. Emma’s dogs was so good with Reeco it’s an amazing environment for him to stay in . When he’s there Emma is also helping with Reeco training . Will not let Reeco stay anywhere else I would highly recommend”
“Sarah and her husband are a lovely couple with a lovely house and a lovely garden. The place is a very nippy drive from the centre of Lincoln and you get stunning views of the Cathedral on the way. They clearly adore animals and Sparky had a wonderful time. I wasn't expecting her to be walked because Sparky is very strong willed and rarely allows anyone else but me to walk her. However, Sarah struck up a strong rapport and did take her out. Brilliant care and very happy with all she did for her whilst I was working. An easy 5 star rating.”
“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”
“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.”
“It was the first time I had to leave my rescue dog Pearl with someone. She was very worried and anxious when I dropped her off but Suzannah was vary confident, calm & reassuring with both Pearl & me. When I returned to pick her up she was sitting on the sofa cuddling up to Suzannah's daughter. Perfectly happy and relaxed. I am so grateful to have found someone who I will have no hesitation leaving Pearl with again. Thank you both so much:)”
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 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: I’ve had lots of experience looking after my own dogs and cared for dogs for friends and family. I currently have a lively 3 year old Springer Cocker Spaniel cross called Hector who I’ve raised from being a puppy. I’ve previously cared for dogs with special health needs, and will work around any requirements you’ve got for your four legged friends. I also used to have 3 horses who required a lot of care and attention, and used to work on a yard at weekends looking after people’s horses. I know how important it is to stick to each animals needs and schedule. I work from home so I’m always around for toilet breaks and lunchtime walks. My availability is usually Monday-Friday but weekends are possible if given notice. I have one dog and no other pets at home. Hector is a lovely boy and loves to go on walks with other dogs, and we go out walking together every day. I live in a quiet area with an enclosed garden and we will make your dog feel right at home!
About: We live in a home set in 10 acres of securely fenced paddocks and parkland. We have 3 horses, and a stable cat, who does keep himself to himself, but I would prefer to avoid dogs who knowingly chase cats. We have two of dogs, a Weimerarnar and a Jack Russel. They are extremely welcoming of other dogs and we have a lot of space to roam in safety. We can go for walks around our own land on or off the lead. Your dog will sleep in the same room as my own dogs but they will have their own independent space, whilst still having company. I do not accept dogs the require to sleep on the sofa or upstairs on the bed! I do not leave my dogs for more than 3 hours at any time, so I am pretty much always at home. I understand how difficult it is to go away if you are not sure your pet is going to be happy and well cared for. I offer your pet a loving environment to ensure you can relax in the knowledge that your best friend will be looked after carefully and loved like one of the family. I will only ever accept 2 dogs from the same family. I will never mix dogs from another family during any stay, so you can be assured that your dog is my priority. I do not let dogs upstairs but they do sit with us as one of the family in the evenings. I find dogs are happier if they have some of their own belongings with them like their own bed/blanket etc. I prefer female speyed dogs but will consider small male neutered dogs. I always request a meet and greet before accepting a booking to ensure we are all happy. It is also beneficial to have a trial visit and ideally an overnight stay before embarking on multiple night stays. This ensures the dog is comfortable and stress free during its stay. For the avoidance of doubt, an overnight stay is 24 hours from the time of drop off to the time of collection. Anything over an hour additional time, will be charged at my standard day rate. I am not the cheapest sitter, (but the Ritz isn't the cheapest hotel). I do however offer an amazing service in a safe environment where your pet can have freedom, fun and become part of the family.

About: For the past year and a half I have worked professionally as a driver and daycare assistant in a busy doggy day care, this is where I received my Dog First Aid qualification and most of my professional experience caring for dogs. My responsibilities were extensive including walking and playing with the dogs as well as driving them to and from their homes at the beginning and end of the day. I have grown up in a pet filled household ever since I was born, not only did my own household have dogs and cats but my family and friends did also which I would often care for, walk and feed. As soon as I was stable enough to care for an animal myself I adopted my wonderful dog Popcorn, that was 6 years ago now and I can safely say it was the best decision I ever made, I have since fostered kittens and cats as well as taken care of dogs and cats for friends and family. I have also adopted a beautiful kitten named Pumpkin and she has become an amazing little outdoor cat. I find nothing more fulfilling than making an animals day! I am completely available for any of your pet car needs as this is my full-time occupation. I studied photography so cute pictures of your pet pending! I have lots of experience with different types of dogs with different needs! My home is a very loving one and I have done my best to make it the safest, most comfortable place for any animal to be in, my friendly fur babies will keep your pets company and I have a fenced garden so your pup can go to the toilet whenever they like safely!

Whether it’s sticking to their routine, giving extra belly rubs, or helping them burn off energy, I treat each dog as if they were my own. This isn’t a side gig for me—your pup has my full attention. My only commitments are to my dogs and yours, which means I can provide dependable, around-the-clock care with plenty of love and patience. Fully insured and always reliable, I’ll make sure your best friend feels comfortable, secure, and part of the family. Whether you need daily walks, extended stays, or just someone to brighten your pup’s day, I’m here to help. 🐾 Let’s keep those tails wagging and make life easier for both you and your dog! I’ve recently made the exciting decision to step away from part-time work so I can dedicate myself fully to caring for dogs. This is now my full-time job and passion, and my only commitments are to my own dogs and the pups I look after. Dogs have always been such an important part of my life, and I’m thrilled to give them all of my time, energy, and love. In My Home: When pets stay with me, they become part of the family. I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment where they can relax, play, and stick to their normal routines. I follow each pet’s feeding, exercise, and sleep schedule closely, and make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, and mental stimulation. Whether it’s a cozy nap spot or a game of fetch in the garden, I make sure they feel right at home. In the Owner’s Home (if applicable): When caring for pets in their own home, I maintain their usual routine to reduce stress and keep them comfortable. I ensure they’re fed, exercised, and given lots of love and companionship while you're away. I also keep your home tidy and can send updates so you know your pet is happy and safe. Dog Walks (Group & Solo): I offer both group walks and one-on-one walks, depending on your dog’s needs and temperament. Group walks are perfect for friendly, social dogs who enjoy companionship and play with others, while solo walks offer focused attention for dogs who prefer a quieter stroll or need special care. Every walk is safe, structured, and full of fun, and I always ensure your dog gets the exercise and enrichment they need
About: Me and my partner love having a dog or cat to take care of and give some love every now and then. I like to go on walks regularly and it’s nice to have the company whilst out and about. I will do my best to work around a schedule that works for you, so please get in touch so that we can discuss in more detail I am very happy to do any service that makes the owner and the pet most comfortable, whether that be at my house or their’s.
About: I regularly look after pets, usually smaller to medium sized dogs. I’m happy to look after any size. I’m 21 and have several years experience with looking after dogs and walking I’m at uni but can look after pets around that. I have plenty of free time to take care of your dogs. Your pet will be the priority I have a fenced large garden that dogs can play in. I’m used to looking after dogs as I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life
About: I have looked after dogs from puppy's to 14 years old, from Spaniels to terriers. From house sitting on my own to training. From long walks around the river to short walks. Even though I have a job it's really the animals I want to be around at all times. My job is not full time so therefore I have time to spend with animals of all sizes. I care for animals by providing food and water, enrichment, playtime, toilet time, walks, chill time. To health checking visually from a distant. Animals know who are animal people the moment they see you.
About: I’ve had a passion for animals since I was a little girl. Since graduating with an Hons degree in animal behaviour and welfare in 2021, I have been continuing to develop and share my skills within the animal industry, specifically for training and behaviour in Canines. My aim is to further use my skills and love for animals to care for beloved companions, for owners in need. Whether that be for the day; or longer-term care in their home while owners are away. I have a wide range of experience in handling, training and caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds and differing needs (medical or behavioural). Welcoming all owners and their companions to use my services. I previously worked 3+ years in a Uk canine rescue in there training and behaviour team. I am now going back to uni to further develop my skills through a master's degree in Clinical animal behaviour. My service availability extends across the week for pet sitting, with an understanding that companions being cared for, would need to be able to be left for a period of time during the days I'm at uni (Mon-Tue). Care provided would be based from the pets home. Keeping their home comforts around them while their owners are away. Day to day their routine would be based around their usual daily activities. I would be sure to include some enriching walks and activities to allow them to feel like they are having a holiday of their own.

About: I have been a military dog handler for the RAF for the past 7 years. And have experience dealing with dogs of all sizes, breeds and temperaments. Pet sitting fits well into my schedule and I am able to accomodate last minute bookings when required. I can easily fit bookings into obscure times such as late evenings and weekends. I love to ensure that pets are happy and taken care of and feel safe in their own environment. I have a dog of my own who is quite difficult so I know the reassurance it gives me to have him looked after in his own house when I am away. And I want to make other pet owners feel the same so they can go on holidays or to work and not worry that their pet is unhappy or stressed. For clarity, my house sitting appointments cover short toilet walks. A longer walk will incur the normal charge on top. During house/dog sitting I will be at your house with your dog or cat for 90% of the time, with me occasionally popping out for refreshments and to run short errands or to check on my son.

Animal welfare consultant for several charities and public services, Puppy trainer and novice gun dog trainer I have spent most of my adult life working with animals mainly dogs, but have experience with cats and scary birds, it’s a passion for me Generally Entering into an Animals house for the first time is challenging for the Animal, by letting the animal come to you allows for the Animal To build trust

“Murphy had the best time with Bradley. They cared for him like he was their own. Sent me loads of pics and updates to reassure me. Murphy has some quirks and is scared and anxious so he needs people attentive to things that may scare or trigger him and they were brilliant. Definately recommend and I have him booked in again already.”
“As always, Nelson was really happy staying with Sarah and Ed and well looked after. He definitely seems to settle in and treat them as surrogate parents whilst we are away. Thanks again both of you 🐾💚”
“Another very successful stay for Harvey with Antonia! Thank you very much for looking after and entertaining his Lordship for a couple of days, I really appreciate you fitting him in. Thank you for the pupdates and videos, they are always so reassuring”
“Brooke was absolutely amazing. She had cosmo a retriever-cocker mix (the same breed as her puppy) for a day and overnight and he had the best time. She sent loads of videos and photos and he was playing with her lovely dogs sooo much!! She even washed and brushed cosmo and the pick up/ drop off service she offers is fab too. Would highly recommend Brooke and will be using her in the future for any of my doggy boarding needs.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better people to look after our dog, Layla. From the very beginning, it was clear that she was in caring, capable, and genuinely loving hands. Caroline and Andrew took the time to understand Layla’s routine, personality, and little quirks, which made a huge difference. We received regular updates, photos, and messages that gave us complete peace of mind while we were away—it was obvious Layla was happy, relaxed, and well cared for. Layla wasn’t just “looked after”—she was treated like part of the family. We’re incredibly grateful and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the couple to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and truly passionate about dogs. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of Layla—we will definitely be booking again!❤️”
“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.”
“Jo and Helen were first class with Bailey. We were worried about leaving him as he hadn’t been very well and needed medication but we had no reason to. Jo and Helen took good care of him and giving him his meds didn’t phase them at all. We had full confidence in them and will definitely be using them again. Thank you!”
“Nina had a wonderful time with Jessica and Jonah. She was perfectly looked after and settled in right away. They kept us up to date with some fun pictures during our time away which made us feel relaxed and happy Nina was in safe hands.”
“Monty stayed with Linnet for 4 nights, he came back happy. Communication was brilliant throughout. I would definitely bring Monty again and would recommend to anyone!!”
“This was my first time using boarding for my dog as she’s quite nervous but Charys was amazing. She helped my dog get settled right in with plenty of treats and fusses and sent me update messages/pictures. I’d definitely recommend Charys!”
“Michael and his family were lovely and very accommodating. Great with our 8 month old puppy, took her for a long walk and sent us regular updates. She seemed very happy when we picked her up and had a great day.”
“This is the first time I have tried this service for looking after dogs as an alternative to kennels. Sarah suggested that I bought Jack my border terrier to her premises before making the booking to see if there were any apprehensions, she made Jack feel at home straight away which eased any doubts I had about this type of dog sitting. Sarah has been superb with Jack throughout his stay,keeping me informed by text of his daily routine and sending me occasional photos of jack which showed him being cuddled and well attended too. I can thoroughly recommend Sarah for her care and love of dogs and I won't hesitate to use her again to look after Jack.”
“Jasper had a brilliant time with graham and his dog wilf. Graham sent daily videos and photos of Jasper on his walks and playing with wilf .which were very reassuring. Would definitely use graham again. 💯 recommend”
“Georgie was absolutely amazing with Beauden. Her communication was great the whole time — lots of updates and photos, which we really appreciated. Beauden clearly had the best time with her and came back super happy (No kidding, he even cried in the car when we were driving off, making us think he’s found his new home!) We’ll definitely be using Georgie again and can’t recommend her enough! ☺️”
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.
About: I have always had dogs and cats in the house until last month when my 23 yr old cat died. I don’t want another dog/cat of my own because, having recently retired, I am at that stage of life when I can travel whenever I want to however, I already miss the companionship that an animal brings to a home and feel that giving your dog a home from home experience will serve two purposes; firstly it will give you piece of mind that your dog is being lovingly cared for and secondly it will fulfil a need in me without impacting my wanderlust! The experience I can offer is purely from having my own pets, all of whom were rescued, the first being back in 1994 when I adopted my first dog from Battersea Dogs home. During my career I have held positions of responsibility within the RAF, local Education and most recently the NHS before retirement. I am recently retired and are therefore mostly at home which means that your dog would have all the love, fuss and company it needs. I have a large walled garden most of which is laid to grass. Unfortunately I have had to remove the gates as they were rotten so there is open access to the garden. In the interests of safety, I would ensure that your dog is kept on the lead whilst outside. I live on a one way, single lane street in a quiet area of the village with immediate access to some great country walks which I am looking forward to exploring more.
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: I've had pets for as long as I can remember! Dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, fish and even stick insects! (don't ask - my poor Mum!) I'm comfortable with large dogs and giving medication to pets. I can also look in on small pets too and I'll even put out your bins while you're away :) I'm available for pop-ins after 4pm, Tuesday to Friday and all day at the weekend. I'm also available for overnight boarding at the weekend too. I have a fenced garden and plenty of open space around us to stretch our legs and get a change of scenery. In your home I will follow your usual routine for feeding, play, medication etc.
