“Willow loved her stay with Bradley & didn’t seem to want to come home! Bradley was very attentive & sent numerous updates throughout the duration of the stay. Willow will definitely be back again soon :)”
“Sarah was just perfect! We were so lucky that our baby boy Billy was looked after by her. Our dogs are the most precious thing in our lives and having Sarah (and her family) was incredibly important! Plenty of updates, photos and details of his days/routine, including always being able to respond our requests too. Thanks a lot Sarah! We recommend You so much! All the stars to You! (5 certainly not enough 😊) Thanks thanks thanks!”
“Veronika and her lovely family looked after Che as if she was their own well loved family pet. She had a very nice sleepover with lots of cuddles and walks. Veronika was very kind and sent pictures and updates. I especially liked the picture of Che making friends with a cat.”
“This was Margot's second stay with Antonia. Margot had a great time again. We received regular updates, with pictures and videos. We would highly recommend Antonia.”
“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.”
“Brilliant dog sitter. We had left our cockapoo with her. She well fed him took care of him and played him reducing his separation anxiety and making him feel safe. Highly recommended.”
“My dog stayed with Julie for a week, she was amazing and went above and beyond for him. We met before the visit so Gus could see where he was staying, meet Julie and make sure he was comfortable with her. Unfortunately shortly after Gus went to stay he became ill due to circumstances out of everyone’s control and Julie was amazing at keeping us up to date throughout everything and took him to the vets when needed on multiple occasions. I honestly cannot recommend Julie enough. She is such a friendly and caring person and i would definitely use her again to look after Gus.”
“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. 💖🤗”
“Emma was absolutely fantastic with our boys! We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter. She kept us updated constantly with messages and photos, which was really reassuring, and made sure they got plenty of exercise every day with a long walk or run. It was clear from the updates how happy and settled they were, and they absolutely loved their time with Emma. We felt completely at ease knowing they were being so well looked after. We will 100% be using Emma again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to look after their dogs. Thanks again, Emma! 😊🐾”
“Really happy to have found Brooke. Beatrix seemed to have had a lovely time. Received lots of updates and videos of her enjoying herself. Would be happy to use Brooke’s service again and highly likely to at some point in the future.”
“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.”
“Teddy has had an amazing time. We have been kept updated with photos and videos throughout the whole stay. I relax and enjoy my trips because I am totally confident that Teddy is having a wonderful time too.”
“I couldn't be happier with the exceptional care that Sarah provided for our dog! They went above and beyond to ensure that our dog was comfortable, happy, and well taken care of. The regular updates and photos sent our way made us feel connected and assured that our dog was in the best of hands. Their genuine love for animals was evident, and it gave us great peace of mind to know our dog was being looked after by someone so trustworthy and attentive. We highly recommend their services to anyone in need of a reliable and caring dog-sitter. Thank you for the outstanding service!”
“Lindsey was more like family to our Ness, she took the time to look after her, make her feel comfortable and entered through their walks. Ness felt right at home from the kindness and care throughout their weekend together. Some how she even got our fussy dog to eat her food! Thsnk you so much, ant dog in her care will cared for in the most loving way possible.”
“Bethany was absolutely amazing looking after my little Rey, making sure she had her medication, had lots of amazing walks and taken to friends so Rey wasn’t left alone ☺️ Lots of communication and was lush seeing all their adventures through all the pictures sent 🤍 cannot recommend Bethany enough!”
“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.”

“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!”
“Another amazing experience with Chris! This was the first time I didn’t feel anxiety about leaving my three for a holiday as I know that Chris looks after them like his own. My cats are all completely happy on our return. Everything has been left super tidy and Chris text me every day to let me know how they are - along with an excellent sense of humour! Would absolutely recommend Chris to anyone and he is always my first port of call.”
“Sophie was the perfect dogsitter for a drop in with my crazy cockapoo Maple! She played, cuddled and took her for a walk, and I got a lot of photos too which I loved as I was so nervous to leave her. Will definitely use Sophie again the future! Thank you ⭐️”
About: I also have a great deal of experience caring for cats and understand that their needs can be quite different from dogs. Having owned cats myself, I’m very aware of how important it is to respect their individual personalities—whether that’s giving them space and a calm environment or providing affection and playtime on their terms. I’m comfortable caring for both indoor and outdoor cats, maintaining feeding routines, litter tray hygiene, and ensuring they feel safe and settled while you’re away. I’m also confident in recognising subtle changes in behaviour or appetite, which can be especially important with cats, and will always keep you updated so you have complete peace of mind. For more sensitive or shy cats, I take a patient and gentle approach, allowing them to build trust in their own time. Equally, I’m very happy to engage and interact with more social and playful cats to keep them stimulated and content. Your cat’s comfort, routine, and wellbeing will always be my priority.
About: With over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes—from tiny Chihuahuas to lovable Golden Retrievers—I’ve developed a deep understanding of each dog’s unique personality and needs. My journey started when my brother brought home a puppy, and caring for him quickly became second nature. Since then, I’ve become the go-to sitter for friends, family, and local pet owners who value my reliability, frequent updates, and genuine love for dogs. What sets me apart is that I’m home full-time during the week, giving your dog plenty of attention, long walks, and companionship throughout the day. I treat every dog like family and strive to make them feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Being home all day every day means pet care naturally fits into my routine. I’m able to give dogs plenty of attention, regular walks, and a calm, consistent environment throughout the day. Whether it’s sticking to a specific feeding schedule, providing company and playtime, or just being a reassuring presence, I’m here for it. My flexible schedule also means I can often help out at short notice—perfect for last-minute plans or unexpected changes. Your dog will never feel like they’re waiting for company—I’m here, ready, and happy to welcome them in. Safety and trust are at the heart of how I care for every pet. Whether I’m welcoming your dog into my home or looking after them in yours, I treat them with the same level of attention and care I’d give my own. In my home, I create a calm, dog-friendly space where pets can feel secure and relaxed, with plenty of love, structure, and supervised time outdoors. If I’m in your home, I respect your space and routines, making sure your pet stays comfortable in their familiar environment. I keep things clean, follow instructions carefully, and provide regular updates so you always know how your dog is doing. My goal is to make your time away stress-free—for both you and your pet.
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: 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.
“Jess C. Was an excellent sitter for Clyde. A very nice and pleasant young lady. She sent us regular reports and photographs. She left the house and a very clean and tidy state. I would not hesitate to book Jess C. In the future. And I can highly recommend her to any one else who wants a pet sitter in the future. Thank you Jess C. ?”
“Joana was such a great house sitter for my cat Freya. She kept me up to date with pictures whilst I was away and took really great care of her. Felt very comfortable leaving her in Joana’s care and would definitely book again the next time I go away”

“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 ❤️”
“We were really happy with the care our dog Willow received. She was clearly well looked after, and the communication throughout was excellent. We felt completely reassured knowing Willow was in such good hands. Would definitely recommend!”
“Angeliki has been a complete angel and taken care of our very anxious rescue dog, brilliantly. Super reliable, and flexible, very caring, she's taken him out for lovely walks in the fields and had him chilling out by the fire with calming music, sends regular photos and updates. Thank you ❤️”
About: Since having our own pet to looking after numerous friends/relatives dogs, I have gained so much valuable experience. Home from home for all our dogs. I took early retirement so I can fit in regular dedicated dog care. I love my new job of looking after my special dog visitors. For caring in your home I have lots of energy to offer your pup or dog. Fun and loving pet care with bonds formed forever.
“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 have looked after neighbours pets and family friends’ dogs for well over five years now. I also have experience in tending to senior dogs and with administrating prescribed medications, but also being attentive and stimulating with puppies! I’m currently studying at University during term time in Coventry, but living at home in Lincolnshire during holidays. I’m up to looking after your lovely pets whenever I’m available!! I can easily crate your dog in your home (if you prefer this when they’re left alone inbetween any visits) and make sure that they are comfortable and stimulated throughout any visits.
“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.”

About: Hi, I'm Sarah. I'm an experienced and qualified animal carer with more than 40 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and other animals. I hold a BTEC National qualification in Small Animal Care and have also completed training in veterinary nursing and dog grooming. I've previously worked in, and managed, a busy boarding kennels and cattery, caring for animals with very different personalities, routines and individual needs. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life. I've owned and cared for breeds ranging from Cocker Spaniels through to large and powerful breeds including Bullmastiffs, Dobermanns and Staffordshire Bull Terriers. I have also trained dogs in obedience and agility and have experience showing dogs. Because of this background, I'm confident handling dogs of different sizes, ages and temperaments. I'm equally happy caring for a lively youngster who needs plenty of interaction as I am an older dog who prefers a quieter pace and familiar routine. I also have more than 30 years' equine experience, caring for everything from ponies and foals to youngsters and large competition horses. This has given me a lifetime of practical experience handling animals safely, calmly and confidently. Care in your pet's own home I particularly enjoy house sitting and home visits because they allow pets to remain where they're happiest – in their own surroundings, following their normal routine. When I'm caring for your pet, I'll follow your instructions carefully, including feeding routines, walks, medication where appropriate, bedtime routines and all those little things that make your pet feel secure. I'm very respectful of people's homes and understand what a big decision it is to trust someone with both your animals and your property. You'll receive regular photographs and updates while you're away, so you can relax knowing how your pets are getting on. Dog walking & drop-in visits I'm also available for dog walking and drop-in visits. Walks are tailored to the individual dog rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach. I'm comfortable with large and strong dogs and understand that puppies, older dogs and dogs with different energy levels all need something different from their walks. Drop-in visits can include feeding, fresh water, toilet breaks, medication where appropriate, playtime and, most importantly, some proper company and attention. Cats and other small pets are very welcome too. Availability I currently work flexibly on a self-employed basis, which means I can often arrange visits and care around your pet's existing routine. I'm based in Sleaford and am happy to discuss requirements in surrounding villages too. I always like to arrange a meet-and-greet before a first booking where possible. It gives you the opportunity to meet me, allows your pet to get to know me, and means we can go through their routine properly before you leave them in my care. Every animal is an individual. My aim is simple: to provide experienced, reliable care while keeping your pet's routine as familiar and stress-free as possible. Pet care is a central part of my daily life, not something I fit in around other commitments. I structure my days around the animals in my care, just as I do with my own pets at home. This means regular feeding times, consistent exercise, and plenty of companionship throughout the day. I’m used to managing multiple animals with different needs, so following routines and keeping everything running smoothly comes naturally to me. Because of my lifestyle and experience, I’m able to offer a high level of flexibility and attention, whether that’s longer walks, more frequent check-ins, or simply being present to keep pets company and settled. Caring for animals has been part of my everyday routine for over 40 years, so it’s second nature to me to prioritise their wellbeing, comfort, and happiness at all times. A typical day with me is structured around your pet’s normal routine, as I believe consistency is key to keeping animals happy and relaxed while you’re away. Mornings usually start with feeding, fresh water, and a calm walk or turnout depending on your pet’s needs. I’m experienced with both high-energy dogs that need proper exercise and older pets who prefer a slower pace. Throughout the day, I provide companionship, playtime, and mental stimulation, as well as any specific care such as grooming, training reinforcement, or administering medication if required. Having worked with a wide range of animals, I’m confident reading behaviour and adjusting care to suit each individual. If you have multiple pets or more complex setups (including horses), I’m very comfortable managing different routines, feeding schedules, and environments. Evenings are kept calm and settled, with feeding, a final walk or check, and ensuring your pets are comfortable for the night. I will keep your home clean, tidy, and secure at all times, treating it with the same respect as my own. I’m also happy to carry out small household tasks such as watering plants or bringing in post. You’ll receive regular updates and photos so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away, knowing your pets are being cared for with experience, patience, and genuine affection.
About: We have been looking after friends dogs for the last few years and love the company and chance to get out, Mostly work from home so no dog will be home alone for long. Work from home 4 days a week mostly, fully secure garden and plenty of space. Happy to have dogs on the furniture and in bed at night, it’s what I do currently. Completely safe walled/fenced garden so no risk of getting out. Mostly home so will always have company Local field if not going on a walk outside the village.
About: I have plenty of experience caring for dogs through looking after my own dog, Max, back home, who I have taken full responsibility for. I have also regularly cared for dogs belonging to friends and family, so I’m comfortable with different personalities, routines and needs. I’m an active person and really enjoy going on long walks. I previously had a Whippet, so I’m used to keeping dogs active and making sure they get plenty of exercise, attention and stimulation. Most importantly, I’m caring, patient and responsible, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. I am currently a university student, but I have a flexible schedule and am free for most of the day. My university commitments are generally manageable, which means I can fit pet care around my studies. I’m able to be flexible with timings and can dedicate plenty of time to walks, playtime, feeding and giving pets the attention they need. I always make sure dogs feel safe, comfortable and cared for, whether they are staying in my home or I am looking after them in their own home. My previous dog was a Whippet, so I understand that they can be very affectionate and often love plenty of attention, cuddles and companionship. This has taught me the importance of being patient, attentive and understanding each dog’s individual personality and needs. I would make sure pets have a calm and secure environment, with regular walks, playtime, feeding and plenty of attention. I also understand the importance of following the owner’s routine and instructions, as keeping pets comfortable in their normal routine helps them settle in. I’m responsible and always keep a close eye on dogs during walks and outings, while giving them lots of love and reassurance.
About: I grew up with lots of animals like a tiny farm and since going to university, I have missed it :( I always go to my family house where there is 5 cats, 2 goldens and 10 chickens and 1 rabbit. May sound like a lot but there is never a moment of boredom. I work in Boston, 8:30-17:00 Monday to Friday. Please take that into consideration when booking me as it doesn’t not let me edit my work schedule into the app. Anytime after 17:30, if you want your dog walking I would be happy too. I really enjoy going on walks with dogs. I have a fenced garden and love going on walks. Dogs and cats are allowed on furniture so they have many places to venture and relax :)
“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.”

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!
About: I have grown up with pets my entire life. From cats and dogs to rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs and spiders! My love for my animals is like no other. As soon as I left home I knew I needed to fill that dog sized hole in my life, I now have two crazy cockapoos, four rabbits and a hamster called Dora! My friends and family are always making bets on what pet I will be getting next! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m currently on maternity leave and have made the decision to leave my previous job so I can be as present as possible for my baby. This means I have a very flexible schedule and can dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, administering lots of cuddles, or simply keeping your pets company, I can easily adapt to their usual routine. I understand how important consistency is for your furry friend, so I’m happy to work around their individual needs to help them feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed while you’re away. I offer pet care in the owner’s home as well as dog walking, and I always make sure I follow each pet’s usual routine as closely as possible. This includes feeding, exercise, playtime, toilet breaks, and any specific care instructions such as medication or special dietary needs. I understand how important consistency is for all animals, so I take the time to learn each pet’s personality and needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and settled in their own environment. I also make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, and stimulation depending on what they enjoy, whether that’s walks, play, or simply companionship. Being flexible and available means I can provide reliable, attentive care and regular updates, giving owners peace of mind that their pets are happy and well looked after.
About: I’ve house sit for many dogs and cats since I was 13, from daily drop ins where I would walk them, feed them and attend to their needs. I absolutely love meeting new pets and getting to know their personalities!! My schedule changes often, but when I am available for your pet, you can have my guarantee that I will be 100% present and around for the needs of your pet. I have a fenced garden with one old friendly dog, who sleeps most of the day! I am super organised when it comes to feeding and walk routines and can adapt quickly to suit your pet!

Pet care is a central part of my daily life, not something I fit in around other commitments. I structure my days around the animals in my care, just as I do with my own pets at home. This means regular feeding times, consistent exercise, and plenty of companionship throughout the day. I’m used to managing multiple animals with different needs, so following routines and keeping everything running smoothly comes naturally to me. Because of my lifestyle and experience, I’m able to offer a high level of flexibility and attention, whether that’s longer walks, more frequent check-ins, or simply being present to keep pets company and settled. Caring for animals has been part of my everyday routine for over 40 years, so it’s second nature to me to prioritise their wellbeing, comfort, and happiness at all times. A typical day with me is structured around your pet’s normal routine, as I believe consistency is key to keeping animals happy and relaxed while you’re away. Mornings usually start with feeding, fresh water, and a calm walk or turnout depending on your pet’s needs. I’m experienced with both high-energy dogs that need proper exercise and older pets who prefer a slower pace. Throughout the day, I provide companionship, playtime, and mental stimulation, as well as any specific care such as grooming, training reinforcement, or administering medication if required. Having worked with a wide range of animals, I’m confident reading behaviour and adjusting care to suit each individual. If you have multiple pets or more complex setups (including horses), I’m very comfortable managing different routines, feeding schedules, and environments. Evenings are kept calm and settled, with feeding, a final walk or check, and ensuring your pets are comfortable for the night. I will keep your home clean, tidy, and secure at all times, treating it with the same respect as my own. I’m also happy to carry out small household tasks such as watering plants or bringing in post. You’ll receive regular updates and photos so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away, knowing your pets are being cared for with experience, patience, and genuine affection.
About: I have always had a strong love for animals, especially dogs, as I grew up surrounded by lots of different pets. Being around animals from a young age has helped me develop a natural understanding of how to care for them, be patient with them, and make sure they feel safe, happy and comfortable. My experience as a dog sitter is something I really enjoy because I love spending time with dogs and getting to know their individual personalities and needs. I understand the importance of giving them plenty of attention, exercise, fresh air and companionship while their owners are away. One of my favourite parts of dog sitting is taking dogs out for walks. I enjoy giving them the opportunity to explore, exercise and have fun, while also benefiting from being outdoors myself. Going for regular walks with a dog helps me stay active and supports my own health and wellbeing, making it something that I find both enjoyable and rewarding. Overall, looking after dogs is something I am passionate about. Growing up with pets, combined with my experience caring for animals, has taught me to be responsible, caring and attentive. I would always treat someone else's dog with the same care and respect that I would give to my own pets. Working from home allows me to provide dogs with the attention, care and companionship they need throughout the day. Because I work remotely, I have the flexibility to take regular breaks to feed them, let them outside, give them attention and take them out for walks. Being at home also means dogs are not left alone for long periods of time, which can help them feel more comfortable and settled. I can easily fit walks and playtime around my working schedule while still making sure my work commitments are met. I really enjoy being around dogs while I work, and I believe my home-based routine is ideal for dog sitting. It allows me to give each dog plenty of care and attention while providing a safe, calm and loving environment for them. Although my garden is on the smaller side, it is fully fenced and provides a safe and secure space for dogs to have regular toilet breaks and get some fresh air throughout the day. I understand that the garden is not intended to replace proper walks and exercise, but it is a convenient and secure space for quick toilet breaks whenever needed. I also live next to a beautiful bank and walking area, which is perfect for giving dogs plenty of exercise and outdoor stimulation. I regularly take my family’s dog there for walks and really enjoy spending time outdoors with him. The area provides a lovely environment for dogs to explore, get some exercise and enjoy their surroundings. Having both a secure garden and such a beautiful walking area nearby means I can provide dogs with regular toilet breaks, exercise and plenty of opportunities to enjoy the outdoors.
About: Have had cats growing up and was absolutely obsessed with them. I have looked after a few of my friends dogs and work in a dog friendly pub, seemingly becoming just obsessed with dogs! I always seem to remember the dogs but not the humans, whoops! I’m currently changing my career to have a life I love. Cats and cute dogs have to be involved! I work as a Pilates instructor and seem to be free during the day- a time when doggos or kitty kats need that little bit of attention and love. I live in a terrace house with a garden. The front of my house looks onto a big green, which tends to be the neighbours dog walking spot! I can’t wait to join them!
About: I have looked after neighbours pets and family friends’ dogs for well over five years now. I also have experience in tending to senior dogs and with administrating prescribed medications, but also being attentive and stimulating with puppies! I’m currently studying at University during term time in Coventry, but living at home in Lincolnshire during holidays. I’m up to looking after your lovely pets whenever I’m available!! I can easily crate your dog in your home (if you prefer this when they’re left alone inbetween any visits) and make sure that they are comfortable and stimulated throughout any visits.
About: With over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes—from tiny Chihuahuas to lovable Golden Retrievers—I’ve developed a deep understanding of each dog’s unique personality and needs. My journey started when my brother brought home a puppy, and caring for him quickly became second nature. Since then, I’ve become the go-to sitter for friends, family, and local pet owners who value my reliability, frequent updates, and genuine love for dogs. What sets me apart is that I’m home full-time during the week, giving your dog plenty of attention, long walks, and companionship throughout the day. I treat every dog like family and strive to make them feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Being home all day every day means pet care naturally fits into my routine. I’m able to give dogs plenty of attention, regular walks, and a calm, consistent environment throughout the day. Whether it’s sticking to a specific feeding schedule, providing company and playtime, or just being a reassuring presence, I’m here for it. My flexible schedule also means I can often help out at short notice—perfect for last-minute plans or unexpected changes. Your dog will never feel like they’re waiting for company—I’m here, ready, and happy to welcome them in. Safety and trust are at the heart of how I care for every pet. Whether I’m welcoming your dog into my home or looking after them in yours, I treat them with the same level of attention and care I’d give my own. In my home, I create a calm, dog-friendly space where pets can feel secure and relaxed, with plenty of love, structure, and supervised time outdoors. If I’m in your home, I respect your space and routines, making sure your pet stays comfortable in their familiar environment. I keep things clean, follow instructions carefully, and provide regular updates so you always know how your dog is doing. My goal is to make your time away stress-free—for both you and your pet.
About: With a lifetime of experience caring for all manner of animals, I provide home-from-home care tailored to each pet's unique needs. I’m skilled in administering medication and always treat any pets in my care as if they were my own. I will always follow your pets’ routines in your absence, in order help them feel safe and secure. I’m accustomed to caring for animals of all ages; from the very young to the more senior, I love them all and their gorgeous unique personalities. I thoroughly enjoy making connections with my furry friends and their owners alike. I have many returning clients and go above and beyond to ensure both your pets and you are completely satisfied with all the services I provide. I have received many five star wonderful reviews from pet owners over the years. One of my greatest pleasures is walking in nature with the dogs in my care; whether it’s a woodland adventure or a splash by the water, I offer diverse walks for your fur babies to enjoy, that include opportunities for socialisation with other dogs and humans. I am home full time as I have an online tutoring business working with students around the world. This enables me to be very focused on the animals in my care throughout the day as my lessons are spread out across the working week. My home is ideally set up to care for your fur babies. I have a large enclosed garden perfect for your fur babies to run around in; they have full access to the garden as they desire as my back door is rarely closed. I have crates, should your pet need crating or you may of course provide your own. I adhere strictly to any special requirements you have regarding the care of your pet. I also have my own private walking field where all dogs are safe to run freely.
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 grew up with lots of animals like a tiny farm and since going to university, I have missed it :( I always go to my family house where there is 5 cats, 2 goldens and 10 chickens and 1 rabbit. May sound like a lot but there is never a moment of boredom. I work in Boston, 8:30-17:00 Monday to Friday. Please take that into consideration when booking me as it doesn’t not let me edit my work schedule into the app. Anytime after 17:30, if you want your dog walking I would be happy too. I really enjoy going on walks with dogs. I have a fenced garden and love going on walks. Dogs and cats are allowed on furniture so they have many places to venture and relax :)
