About: I grew up around dogs so they have always been a large part of my life. Along with my own, I often care for friends+family’s pets. I have experience with dogs of all ages - towards the end of his life, my senior dog was unable to use his back legs so he required special care and attention. Due to this, he also became incontinent so I am especially skilled with senior care. However, I am currently the owner of a pug puppy and so, I am perfectly capable of keeping up with the demands of an active puppy as well! As I am currently available all the time, he has my undivided attention, as will your dog also! I am available all the time which means constant love and care for your dog and plenty of playtime! I can also provide walks as often as needed. I have a large fenced garden which is perfect for playtime! I also have a friendly pug puppy who loves to play with other dogs and will be more than happy to share his toys & treats! There is plenty of space for your dog to run around, and also relax when it’s time to wind down. I have an aircon unit in my living room which has been very helpful in cooling the house down, especially during the high temperatures we’ve been having. I can also accommodate to any specific needs!
“Can't recommend Pricilla enough for dog boarding! Cleo is small and shy dog, so I was really nervous. But Pricilla was amazing from day one — sent daily photos and updates which kept me sane, and Cleo actually seemed to enjoy herself. She really got Cleo's shy personality. When we picked her up she was relaxed and happy, not stressed at all, which is huge for such a nervous dog. If you need someone trustworthy for an anxious dog, go with Pricilla. We'll definitely book again!”
“Julia was absolutely amazing with Safia ❤️ From the very beginning, she was caring, attentive, communicative, and incredibly thoughtful. She kept me updated throughout the stay with detailed messages about walks, food, water, playtime, and how Safia was doing emotionally, which gave me so much peace of mind, and the most thorough report about her day. She even washed and dried Safia’s blanket after a little accident without hesitation, such a kind gesture that truly shows how much she cares! Safia clearly felt comfortable and loved with Julia and her family, and it made me so happy to hear how well she got along with everyone 😊 I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better person. I would trust Julia again without a second thought and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, warm, patient, and genuinely loving with dogs. Thank you again for taking such wonderful care of Safia 🐾”
“Rosie, our Old Tyme Bulldog, stayed with Amanda and her family for a week while we went on holiday. We would highly recommend her. Amanda and her family clearly love dogs and Rosie had a great time. Amanda sent us regular updates, photos and videos throughout the week so we didn't have to worry whether Rosie was okay as we had videos of her enjoying herself. It was really reassuring. Great communication throughout. Rosie will definitely be staying with Amanda again and we'll be checking her availability before we book our next holiday :-)”
“I can’t thank Sonia enough for stepping in at the very last minute to look after my French Bulldog, Pablo. With no time for a meet and greet, I was a bit nervous leaving him with someone new — but Sonia immediately put me at ease. She was incredibly responsive, professional, and most importantly, kind and calm with Pablo, who can be a bit of a diva sometimes! I got regular updates and photos, and it was clear he was relaxed and happy in her care. Finding someone so reliable and caring on such short notice is rare, and I feel very lucky to have found Sonia. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again — highly recommended!”
“Tereza was a brilliant host for our dog Rossi. She is super-calm and immediately won over Rossi. She was great with communications and sent loads of photos. 100% recommended!”
“Five stars isn't enough for Sotiria! She took care of our dog, Bandit, during the bank holiday, and she was absolutely brilliant. Professional, caring, and Bandit clearly adored her. Kept us well updated and sent lots of cute pictures as well! We're so grateful and will definitely be using her again!”
“Bruiser absolutely loved his stay with Victoria. He has come home so happy and we can tell he had the most wonderful time. Victoria was so kind and always was in touch with photos and videos. Can’t recommend Victoria enough.”
“Avgi once again looked after Gizmo, and I can only say that she is just absolutely brilliant, Gizmo I know was looked after so well, when I dropped Gizmo off yesterday morning Saturday 14th, she asked a few questions as just to make sure that Gizmos needs and routine was met, I really admire Avgi and the job she does in looking after your pet. Well done Avgi and thank you for looking after Gizmo for me, I have no worries at all 👍🐶❤️xx”
“Elly was absolutely brilliant with my greyhound Nev- he had such a good time with Dolly and friends that he was reluctant to leave when I came to pick him up!! I received regular updates throughout and would absolutely book Nev in with Elly again!”
About: I’m a caring, trustworthy and patient pet sitter with experience caring for puppies, senior dogs and post-operative dogs who need extra attention and gentle support. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine and needs, so I always take the time to help them feel safe, comfortable and relaxed while in my care. I provide a calm, clean and loving home environment where dogs receive plenty of attention, affection, exercise and supervision throughout the day. Dogs are never left alone for long periods maximum 2-3hrs only when necessary and I make sure they have regular toilet breaks, playtime, walks and rest based on their individual routine and energy levels. I’m confident caring for energetic puppies who need patience and structure, as well as senior or recovering dogs who may require a slower pace, medication support, or extra comfort. I carefully follow all owner instructions to maintain routines and ensure pets feel settled and secure. Safety is always my top priority. Although I do not have a fully fenced yard, all outdoor time and walks are closely supervised, and dogs are always kept safely on leash when outside. I also carefully manage introductions and interactions if caring for multiple dogs at once to ensure every pet feels comfortable and safe. It is really rare that I will look after multiple dogs at once as I do prefer to look after one dog so I can provide him a safe place and comfort, unless it's from the same household. I know how important communication is when you’re away from your pet, so I provide regular updates, photos, and messages to give owners peace of mind throughout the stay. In the event of any emergency or concern, I would contact the owner immediately and seek veterinary care if needed. I am currently undertaking a first aid course for dogs. For safety reasons, I only accept vaccinated pets into my home. I treat every dog as if they were my own and always aim to give them the love, care and attention they deserve. As a student with a flexible schedule, I have plenty of time to spend with the pets I look after. I understand how important routine, attention, and patience are when it comes to animal care. Each pet is unique, and I always do my best to understand their personality and needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and at ease in my care. I care for pets in my home in a safe, calm, and loving environment. I live in an apartment with access to a large, secure fenced garden where dogs can enjoy supervised play and exercise off lead, but only with the owner's permission. I understand that every pet has their own routine, so I always follow the owner's instructions for feeding, walks, sleep, and any special requirements. Throughout their stay, pets receive plenty of attention, cuddles, playtime, and regular exercise to help them feel comfortable and at home. I'll also keep owners updated with photos and messages so they can have peace of mind while they're away.
“Lovely dog sitter! She kept me updated with pictures throughout and was really accommodating, even letting me drop Ralph off earlier than originally planned. Ralph had the best time and came home very happy! Would definitely recommend. Thank you so much! 🐶😊”
“It was a great relief leaving Ragnar with Steven, it’s the first time we have left him with anyone who isn’t family but I felt totally at ease. I got regular updates and pics, I would highly recommend him. He looked after our boy like he was their own.”
“Eugene had the best time! Thoroughly spoilt and looked after so well! Both Konrad and his partner a clearly dog lovers who really know their stuff! They took on board all the little details and quirks about Eugene's behaviour and sent lots of updates, messages, photos and videos. Would highly recommend. If I could give higher than 5* I would.”
“Athinoula provided amazing care for our 6 year old cocker spaniel, Hazel. She took the time to arrange a pre visit to ensure Hazel got along with her dog and it was clear that she loves dogs and provided lots of care and attention. I had regular updates and photos of Hazel at her home and on outings with the family. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Athinoula for anyone looking for a caring and professional dog sitter!”
About: I have had cocker spaniels for many years at one point having three together. I love dogs and currently besides my own dog I foster a dog and also regularly look after family members dogs I work part time as a nurse and so am able to board for long weekends or day care on a Friday but please enquire if you are looking for something else as I may be able to accommodate I live in a house with a secure garden with a park over the road aswell for lots of walks. Your dog will have free rein of the house and treated as one of the family
“Want to thank Holly for looking after Tilly for us for a week whilst we went on holiday. Holly took really good care of her and was nice to receive regular updates and photos. Tilly clearly enjoyed her time with Holly (and Missy). Would happily book again with her and recommend to others. Thanks again!”
About: I have been around animals all my life and was lucky enough to grow up with dogs, cats, horses, rabbits and hamsters- to name a few. I am a very loving, relaxed and laidback pet owner and love being around animals. I happily share my sofa and bed with my pets, so if that is something your dog would like, they would feel right at home when staying with me. My dog Oscar is a friendly and playful British bulldog and I also have 2 x 10 year old cats so any dog visiting would have friends to play with. I also have experience looking after puppies as well as older dogs. I work 4 long day a week but am free over the weekends to look after your dog. I generally walk Oscar once a day for an hour but sometimes he gets an additional half hour walk as well so can easily offer this for your dog. I have a large enclosed garden and space in the house to keep any dog separate from Oscar at nighttime if needed. There is also space for a crate if you prefer your dog to sleep in a crate.
“Fantastic sitter for our Frenchie Peggy, we booked Peggy in for 9 night, whilst we went on a family holiday abroad, and wanted a home from home environment, and that is exactly what Anna provided. We went for a meet a greet, prior to Peggy staying with Anna, to make sure they got a long, Anna sent us lots of photos and updates during her stay, she took Peggy on lots of walks, all in all assured us Peggy was being looked after well. Would highly recommend Anna, and will booking Anna in next time we plan to go away. Thank you Anna.”

“Chloe has anew friend...Peanut! This was the first time we used cat in a flat and a great experience. Chloe sent us pics and videos to keep us up to date... much appreciated. Sure we'll return! ”
About: I’m a caring, patient and experienced cat owner with a genuine love for cats. I have a two-year-old half-Siamese, half-Ragdoll who is very active, energetic and definitely keeps me on my toes! Looking after him has given me plenty of experience understanding different behaviours, personalities and needs, including caring for a high-energy and more demanding cat. I’m very patient and attentive, and I understand that every cat is different. I’m happy to take the time to build trust with your cat and make sure they feel comfortable, safe and well cared for while you’re away. I’ll treat your cat as if they were my own and make sure they receive plenty of attention, care and affection.
“Christina has been brilliant looking after our 2 cats while we were on holiday. She has gone above and beyond, not only feeding them but playing with them, giving some fuss and making sure everything was clean before our return. Daily photos gave us peace of mind. Ray and Ivy clearly loved her visits with the added opportunity for a meet and greet. We won’t hesitate to rebook Christina in the future. Thanks again 💙🩷”
“We always try to get Judith to look after pets whilst we are away. Really takes care to check on my cats and chickens. sends photos of them giving me piece of mind whilst I’m away ! Highly recommend.”
“We are so grateful to have found Elaine to look after our kitty when we were away. Really excellent service, care and attention given, great communication and an all round lovely lady. Also kindly offered to water plants and get some food in for when we came home which was really appreciated. Highly recommended!”
“Lois was brilliant and so thorough with her updates for us. Made me feel relaxed knowing Jaffa was ok. She was good with his personality issues too, and I appreciated her caring attitude towards him, even though he hissed and tried to swipe a few times. Thanks so much Lois, we will definitely book you again 😊”
“Ria dropped in on my kitten, Luna and I could immediately tell they had a great time. She played with her and fed her and when I returned, Luna seemed really happy. I would definitely be using Ria again to look after Luna. Thanks again!”
“This was the first time Inga had looked after my dog, communications prior to arriving were faultless and Inga asked all the relevant questions. Inga arrived on time and was calm and patient with my nervous dog, Inga sat with my dog while I left for a two hour appointment. Inga was gentle and kind with my dog which suffers from separation anxiety, Inga kept me informed while I was away and I was confident that my dog was being well cared for. I would use Inga again for dog sitting and would recommend.”
About: I have a Pet Sitting and Dog Walking Diploma - CPD certified - I am insured and I have a DBS check. I take caring for pets seriously and provide them with safety, care and affection while you're away.
About: Me and family have owned various cats over the years of different breeds. I have cat sit family and friends cats while on holiday and daytrips so have plenty of experience of cat needs.
About: I’ve had cats all throughout my life, including my current ginger Terry, each has been different and all have taught me to understand their behavioural and husbandry needs whether it be space or attention, respect or responsiveness. I’ve completed a degree BSc in Animal Science specialising in Pet Behaviour and Welfare so I can guarantee to bring an educated approach to caring for your cat(s). My dissertation was a look at Feline behaviour in outdoor and indoor cats, I’m always learning more about these amazing animals. I have had feral cats and kittens, trained and nurtured them to trust and feel safe, along with elderly cats with disabilities such as my previous cat Felix who was deaf.
“Gemesia has been a fantastic cat sitter from the very beginning. She came to meet us and Loki beforehand, let Loki set the pace, and asked lots of thoughtful questions about his habits and routine. Over the weekend we were away, she kept us well informed with videos both morning and evening, letting us know exactly what Loki was up to and how he was doing. Gemesia made the whole process easy and reassuring, at a time when leaving your pet can be really anxiety provoking. We've already booked her again for our next trip away - highly recommend!”
“Jack has been amazing with my cat, when I came home after 3 days everything looked tidy and on top of everything my cat was happy and chilled 🥰😍 I don't think he missed us so much 😅 and it's just because Jack looked after him so well! Thank you again Jack.”
“Clare has done an excellent job with taking care of our Riley! She even took it upon herself to give him a bath (checking with us first to make sure it was ok and what shampoo to use) after he found something (!) extra smelly to roll in! Thank you, Clare!!”

About: I have always cared for pets at my home from dogs to cats, stick insects to gerbils, you name it! And my passion for animal care led me to completing my BSc Animal Science (Pet Behaviour and Welfare) degree at university for four years. I have the practical and theory skills to handle all kinds of pet care, including veterinary work and husbandry experience. My pet behaviour pathway at university gave me the opportunity to work for a pet behaviour clinic for a year specialising in dog behaviour and training, so I know the patience and love required to care for and train the most anxious pets. It can take time to build trust and my policy is always to do so with a gentle hand and maybe a treat or two! I'm currently working part time so have a flexible schedule for your pets' care including weekend stays, day visits, walks, feeding and more. I’m happy to stay for longer/ overnight visits so you don’t have to worry for your pets while you’re on holiday. I'm very happy to take instructions from you on what care you believe your pets require or anything you wish to request of me during my time with them. Whether this means using crates or not, treats, outdoor time...etc.
About: I am very patient and attentive to the animals in my care and very protective towards them. I treat them like I treat my own dog. I am retired and am at home all the time. I am available every day of the week but would need 3 days' notice. I am quite flexible with my time. My garden is fully enclosed and safe from any dangers like the wrong plants or chemicals. The nearest park to me is a very secluded and safe place.

“It was Buddy's first time with Sonia (and Bailey) and he was completely at home from the moment he arrived. Sonia sent updates and photos throughout the day so I could see Buddy was really settled and having fun. I would definitely recommend Sonia and we have already rebooked for a day next month.”
“I honestly can’t thank Elly enough for taking such amazing care of Albert. He’s a Border Collie x Lab and quite a nervous dog, and this was the first time he’s ever been left away from me, so I was really anxious about it. Elly was absolutely brilliant from start to finish – so patient, kind and understanding with him. I got regular updates and photos which really put my mind at ease, and it was clear Albert was in safe hands. When I picked him up after Monday to Friday, he was happy, settled and comfortable, which says everything. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Elly to anyone, especially if you have a nervous dog. I’ll definitely be booking again!”

“Steve was fantastic with our puppy Hugo. We needed someone fairly close by and able to take a puppy, as he’s too young for kennels. Steve was really friendly and has an obvious love for animals. He kept us updated throughout the day and whatsapped some great videos. Thanks Steve, will use you again in the future!”
About: I’ve had pets since childhood — including dogs, cats, and rabbits — from energetic puppies to senior animals who need extra patience, care, and attention. For me, pets are family, and that’s exactly how I care for them: with love, respect, and dedication. I have hands-on experience with feeding, medication, hygiene, and understanding animal behavior, always adjusting to each pet’s individual needs. I’m passionate about animals and truly believe in the unconditional love they give us. For me, caring for them is a joy — and also a great responsibility that I carry out with the affection they deserve. I work flexible hours for a company based in another country, which allows me to take on walks or pet visits at scheduled times without any problem. During the week, I’m available in the mornings or after I pick up my daughter from school, which is also a great time for park visits and walks. I’m available to care for pets both during the week and on weekends, including for longer periods if needed, always with love, responsibility, and full attention. When I care for a pet in their own home, I always respect their space and routine, following the owner's instructions closely to keep everything as familiar and stress-free as possible. I'm very mindful of safety — paying close attention to doors, gates, windows, and anything that could pose a risk. During walks, I always keep pets on a leash and go at their pace, ensuring they feel comfortable and secure. I value open communication with pet owners and provide regular updates, photos, and notes so they feel confident and at ease while I’m with their pets. For me, the animal’s safety, comfort, and well-being always come first.
About: I grew up with many cats, from the age of 3 until today. My first cat, Scampi, I had for 20 years from age 3-23 and we had many more through out that time. My current lovely cat babies are Leonardo DiCatrio (Leo) and Norma Jean. I have been looking after my sister’s cockapoo puppy for almost a year now when she is away and friends have relied on me to look after their dogs many times throughout the years. I have experience with small dogs such as a Jack Russell, medium dogs like my friend’s Australian Shepherd and Golden Retriever, as well as big dogs like Rottweilers. I have always been an animal lover and with my parents, we have fostered around 50 pregnant, injured or orphaned kitties for the rspca in their transitional period (from rescue until they are ready to find their forever home) ❤️ I am also used to administering oral medication and eye drops I have a flexible working schedule with work from home often an option and sometimes work evening events meaning I can care for pets both in the day and in the evening. I always make sure pets have access to a secure and familiar space so that they have a place to go to feel safe. I am calm, quiet and confident with pets and always willing to be patient with a pet as I am a new person coming into their home and recognise that this can be scary for them.

About: I’ve spent years caring for dogs who had no one. I have hands-on experience caring for 9–12 dogs daily, including feeding, walking, playing and providing basic medical care. In India, I was responsible for looking after stray dogs—ensuring they were safe, healthy, and never hungry. This taught me patience, responsibility, and how to understand different dog behaviours, from shy and nervous to energetic and playful. I’ve handled: Daily walks and exercise routines Feeding schedules and hygiene care Basic medication and health monitoring Dogs with different temperaments and needs I truly love dogs and naturally connect with them. I’m calm, attentive, and always focused on making sure every dog feels safe, happy, and loved. Now based in UK, I’m excited to give the same level of care and dedication to your pet. I have a very flexible schedule and can accommodate: Morning, afternoon, and evening walks Last-minute bookings Regular daily walks or long-term care I’m happy to adjust to your dog’s routine and needs to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I can tell my own experience- Before relocating to the UK, I ensured that all the dogs I cared for were responsibly handed over to local authorities so they would continue receiving proper food, medical care, and protection. I take long-term responsibility seriously and always put the well-being of animals first.
About: We have always had dogs. I love taking care of them (and if I could I would have 100)! Whether it’s energetic pups who love long walks, senior dogs who need a gentler pace, or shy pets who require patience and reassurance, I adapt my care to each dog’s unique needs. I understand the importance of trust when it comes to your furry family member, so I treat every pet as if they were my own. I am currently working full-time so my flexibility is limited through week days. However I am fully flexible on weekends and more than happy to take care of any furry angels! I live by myself in a flat which is spacious enough for small and medium dogs. We have a backyard where the dog can play and I love taking the dogs on walks. No one will be involved in dogs’ care but me.
About: A bit about me: I had a beloved dog, Mely, for 10 years. When Mely fell ill, I was by her side every step of the way, ensuring her comfort and well-being. This experience gave her a deep understanding of prioritizing a pet’s health and happiness. I grew up surrounded by dogs and cats, I adore every single one of them. For the past 10 years, Veris, my oldest cat, has been a cherished member of the family. I've also rescued and cared for an injured stray cat, covering all the veterinary costs to nurse it back to health. Hello! I'm Kyriakos, Master’s student at DMU and passionate animal lover. As pet enthusiast I'm here to make life easier for you and your furry family members.

Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or overnight stays, we’ve got you covered! Dependable, detail-oriented, and deeply passionate about animals, we treat every pet as if they were our own. I'm committed to building trust with both you and your pets, creating a bond that ensures their comfort and your peace of mind.

“Sotiria is amazing! She is so kind and treats our little Archie with such care. She picked him up and took him to her place when we were away and was available on short notice when something unexpected came up. Archie adores her and she feeds him and sends lots of updates and pics. 5 stars :)”

“When we had an event in the area we left our golden retriever Loki, with Dimitri and her family for the day. Dimitri met with us the before to ensure everyone was comfortable. It was clear from the start that Loki was in the best hands. We got photo updates all day and it was clear he had the best time. Cuddles with the family, exploring the garden, a long walk in the countryside, a trip to the beer garden and all the treats a pup could wish for. We wish we lived closer! We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to anyone. Thank you again Dimitra and family!”

“Lewis has been so kind and lovely with our Cavapoo, Snoopy - both walking and offering daycare at very short notice. His love of animals shone from our first communication and I was immediately at ease (as was Snoopy). I would highly recommend Lewis, and without hesitation, we'll certainly be calling on him again soon.”

I have experience with dogs of all ages - towards the end of his life, my senior dog was unable to use his back legs so he required special care and attention. Due to this, he also became incontinent so I am especially skilled with senior care. However, I am currently the owner of a pug puppy and so, I am perfectly capable of keeping up with the demands of an active puppy as well! As I am currently available all the time, he has my undivided attention, as will your dog also! I am available all the time which means constant love and care for your dog and plenty of playtime! I can also provide walks as often as needed. I have a large fenced garden which is perfect for playtime! I also have a friendly pug puppy who loves to play with other dogs and will be more than happy to share his toys & treats! There is plenty of space for your dog to run around, and also relax when it’s time to wind down. I have an aircon unit in my living room which has been very helpful in cooling the house down, especially during the high temperatures we’ve been having. I can also accommodate to any specific needs!
“Emily was a great help to us in walking our dog Hamish. She is personable, punctual and Hamish loved his walks with her. I would recommend her to anyone looking for some support with their dog.”
About: I've helped train and care for pets from a young age, both my own and wider families, having sat for family friends in the past on an occasional basis. I have various other commitments to my ongoing university degree and voluntary organisations including Air cadets, but am incredibly flexible on time and can work around any schedule With some experience caring for unruly (although small in that case) dogs, I feel confident to look after dogs of any and all shapes, sizes and personalities, on walks and in any home
About: I’ve always been a huge animal lover 🐾 and love getting to know each pet’s personality…. whether they’re full of zoomies, a bit shy, or just want cuddles and company. I’ve had my own Whippet and Jack Russell, so I’m used to different sizes, energy levels and temperaments. I also have my own cat, so I understand routines, boundaries and helping pets feel safe and settled 🐶🐱 I studied animal care for a year, volunteered at a dog groomers and have experience with dog walking, feeding, fresh water, playtime, litter changes and basic clean-ups. I’m happy to send photo updates and will treat your pet like my own with patience, kindness, care and plenty of compliments! 🥰 My availability varies depending on the service required, but as a general guide: Saturday: flexible all day Sunday: flexible all day Monay - Friday: available after 6pm 🐾 Please message me directly with the service, date and times you need, and I’ll be happy to confirm whether I’m available I’ll care for pets by keeping them safe, comfortable and as close to their usual routine as possible. At home, I have a garden for fresh air and toilet breaks, and I also have a cat, so pets staying with me would need to be comfortable around cats. I’m happy to help with feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, toilet breaks, litter changes, cuddles and company. If I’m caring for pets in their owner’s home, I’ll follow instructions carefully, respect the home, and send photo updates if wanted
About: I have a Pet Sitting and Dog Walking Diploma - CPD certified - I am insured and I have a DBS check. I take caring for pets very seriously and provide them with safety, care and affection while you're away. I am a uni student, so I have plenty of time to look after your pets outside of my studies. I am quite flexible. I am able to look after pets on some weekdays, evenings and weekends, and I am available full-time outside of term time. Due to my flat's pet restrictions, I only provide pet care services in my clients' homes, such as house sitting and home visits. This also helps your pets feel more at ease as they remain in a familiar environment while you are away.
About: I have always cared for pets at my home from dogs to cats, stick insects to gerbils, you name it! And my passion for animal care led me to completing my BSc Animal Science (Pet Behaviour and Welfare) degree at university for four years. I have the practical and theory skills to handle all kinds of pet care, including veterinary work and husbandry experience. My pet behaviour pathway at university gave me the opportunity to work for a pet behaviour clinic for a year specialising in dog behaviour and training, so I know the patience and love required to care for and train the most anxious pets. It can take time to build trust and my policy is always to do so with a gentle hand and maybe a treat or two! I'm currently working part time so have a flexible schedule for your pets' care including weekend stays, day visits, walks, feeding and more. I’m happy to stay for longer/ overnight visits so you don’t have to worry for your pets while you’re on holiday. I'm very happy to take instructions from you on what care you believe your pets require or anything you wish to request of me during my time with them. Whether this means using crates or not, treats, outdoor time...etc.
About: After my westie passed away 8yrs ago, it took me a while to figure what I wanted to do with my life, I’d lived with various dog breeds and cared for them, so the natural path for me to pursue was working with animals, this bought me great happiness and joy, it healed my heart. This is my full time calling, I dog walk on certain days and diary allowing I pet sit, I cover Leicester but I also do ad hoc sits. I always do a meet and greet, get a full history of the pets, walk them with the owner. I get a full rundown of the home. Typical questions: age, breed, allergies, medication, walks, food & treats, vets details, where they sleep, when they were last groomed and vaccinations.
“Sapphire was really quick to respond and made herself available to walk Tato on very short notice which was a big help! Tato had a great time and came back tired out and ready to wind down for the evening. Thanks again!”
About: Having cared for a mixture of dog breeds of differing sizes most of my life, I have the experience needed to cater for the most loved dogs around. Services include long, exciting walks in the finest natural areas Leicester has to offer.

I can be flexible with house sitting and will make sure to create a fun and safe environment for your pet with lots of play.
About: I have had cats since I was 5 years old and dogs for 3 years. I have handled everything from feeding and cleaning to birth and feeding newborns every two hours. I even have experience nursing a cat with congenital heart failure. I have a trained Afghan hound who can be off leash, so I am no stranger to stubborn active “untrainable” dogs. I am currently free with no commitments and so if needed can take on same day booking for walking and check ins. I will always update my availability. I will always follow the instructions and requirements given by owners. I understand the level of trust placed by owners to anyone they entrust the care of their beloved pet or their home environment and therefore understand that communication is vital. I will always give a report about the walk / check in and will update owners on any injury or out of the ordinary behaviour. My vast experience permits me to recognise canine and feline body language paying attention to the small details.
About: I've has dogs, cats, rabbits, fish and hamsters all my life and I've been a proud parent to dogs, cats, bunnies, hamsters and fish my whole life.

About: I have experience with dogs through my business Dig&Dog, by helping out family and friends, and through voluntary work abroad. I have taken care of lots of different breeds, sizes and ages and therefore can cater to any needs! I have my own business offering a variety of pet services including house sitting, dog walking & drop in visits. I often house sit overnight and work in the garden in the day, but often have availability for dog walks/drop-ins, especially in the autumn/winter. I have grown up with two cats and surrounded by the dogs and cats of family/friends, meaning I am very comfortable pet sitting and have lots of experience, which creates a relaxed atmosphere for pets to feel safe and most importantly happy!

“Julia was absolutely amazing with Safia ❤️ From the very beginning, she was caring, attentive, communicative, and incredibly thoughtful. She kept me updated throughout the stay with detailed messages about walks, food, water, playtime, and how Safia was doing emotionally, which gave me so much peace of mind, and the most thorough report about her day. She even washed and dried Safia’s blanket after a little accident without hesitation, such a kind gesture that truly shows how much she cares! Safia clearly felt comfortable and loved with Julia and her family, and it made me so happy to hear how well she got along with everyone 😊 I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better person. I would trust Julia again without a second thought and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, warm, patient, and genuinely loving with dogs. Thank you again for taking such wonderful care of Safia 🐾”
“Rosie, our Old Tyme Bulldog, stayed with Amanda and her family for a week while we went on holiday. We would highly recommend her. Amanda and her family clearly love dogs and Rosie had a great time. Amanda sent us regular updates, photos and videos throughout the week so we didn't have to worry whether Rosie was okay as we had videos of her enjoying herself. It was really reassuring. Great communication throughout. Rosie will definitely be staying with Amanda again and we'll be checking her availability before we book our next holiday :-)”
“Elly was absolutely brilliant with my greyhound Nev- he had such a good time with Dolly and friends that he was reluctant to leave when I came to pick him up!! I received regular updates throughout and would absolutely book Nev in with Elly again!”
About: I’m a caring, trustworthy and patient pet sitter with experience caring for puppies, senior dogs and post-operative dogs who need extra attention and gentle support. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine and needs, so I always take the time to help them feel safe, comfortable and relaxed while in my care. I provide a calm, clean and loving home environment where dogs receive plenty of attention, affection, exercise and supervision throughout the day. Dogs are never left alone for long periods maximum 2-3hrs only when necessary and I make sure they have regular toilet breaks, playtime, walks and rest based on their individual routine and energy levels. I’m confident caring for energetic puppies who need patience and structure, as well as senior or recovering dogs who may require a slower pace, medication support, or extra comfort. I carefully follow all owner instructions to maintain routines and ensure pets feel settled and secure. Safety is always my top priority. Although I do not have a fully fenced yard, all outdoor time and walks are closely supervised, and dogs are always kept safely on leash when outside. I also carefully manage introductions and interactions if caring for multiple dogs at once to ensure every pet feels comfortable and safe. It is really rare that I will look after multiple dogs at once as I do prefer to look after one dog so I can provide him a safe place and comfort, unless it's from the same household. I know how important communication is when you’re away from your pet, so I provide regular updates, photos, and messages to give owners peace of mind throughout the stay. In the event of any emergency or concern, I would contact the owner immediately and seek veterinary care if needed. I am currently undertaking a first aid course for dogs. For safety reasons, I only accept vaccinated pets into my home. I treat every dog as if they were my own and always aim to give them the love, care and attention they deserve. As a student with a flexible schedule, I have plenty of time to spend with the pets I look after. I understand how important routine, attention, and patience are when it comes to animal care. Each pet is unique, and I always do my best to understand their personality and needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and at ease in my care. I care for pets in my home in a safe, calm, and loving environment. I live in an apartment with access to a large, secure fenced garden where dogs can enjoy supervised play and exercise off lead, but only with the owner's permission. I understand that every pet has their own routine, so I always follow the owner's instructions for feeding, walks, sleep, and any special requirements. Throughout their stay, pets receive plenty of attention, cuddles, playtime, and regular exercise to help them feel comfortable and at home. I'll also keep owners updated with photos and messages so they can have peace of mind while they're away.
“It was a great relief leaving Ragnar with Steven, it’s the first time we have left him with anyone who isn’t family but I felt totally at ease. I got regular updates and pics, I would highly recommend him. He looked after our boy like he was their own.”
“Eugene had the best time! Thoroughly spoilt and looked after so well! Both Konrad and his partner a clearly dog lovers who really know their stuff! They took on board all the little details and quirks about Eugene's behaviour and sent lots of updates, messages, photos and videos. Would highly recommend. If I could give higher than 5* I would.”
About: I have been around animals all my life and was lucky enough to grow up with dogs, cats, horses, rabbits and hamsters- to name a few. I am a very loving, relaxed and laidback pet owner and love being around animals. I happily share my sofa and bed with my pets, so if that is something your dog would like, they would feel right at home when staying with me. My dog Oscar is a friendly and playful British bulldog and I also have 2 x 10 year old cats so any dog visiting would have friends to play with. I also have experience looking after puppies as well as older dogs. I work 4 long day a week but am free over the weekends to look after your dog. I generally walk Oscar once a day for an hour but sometimes he gets an additional half hour walk as well so can easily offer this for your dog. I have a large enclosed garden and space in the house to keep any dog separate from Oscar at nighttime if needed. There is also space for a crate if you prefer your dog to sleep in a crate.
“Thank you so much for looking after LEXI. She enjoyed all the attention and cuddles. Thank you to Sam for taking her on walks too we appreciate the love and care you all share. Lexi looks forward to her next holiday with you all in February.”
“Dimitra and Family were the perfect hosts for my Lily whilst I was away with work. Communication from the point of enquiry was always great and I had the pleasure of being able to visit Dimitra and Family at their home prior to making the booking, which left me well at ease and I was greatful to be able to see where Lily would be staying whilst I was away. Throughout my time away, Dimitra sent me regular updates, along with pictures, detailing Lily's daily activities etc which really helped to keep my mind at ease. It was my first time leaving lily for a prolonged period of time but Dimitra really took the time to make sure that Lily was really well cared for. I would highly recommend Dimitra to anyone looking for a comfortable stay for their furry friend and will certainly be using Dimitra again. Lily had the BEST time! Thank you again so much!”
“Amazing communication, through out! Eugene had the best time staying over, and was a very happy puppy when he came home. Lots of fab photos of walks, cuddles, and play. Richard and Bee clearly both love dogs and know a lot about them! Would definitely rebook!”
“Polly and her family took care of Luna our big Rottweiler for a week. Polly kept us regularly updated with photos of Luna and how she was doing. Polly is a superb dog sitter and I would 100% use her again. Thank you! X”
“Bethany really looked after our cockapoo well, he was welcomed into their home and we were kept updated with regular pictures. He looked right at home! 💙. I would definitely trust her to look after him again. Thank you.”
“Our little Doggy can be sneaky and tricky to look after (can't be let off the lead and will escape given the chance) so we are always fearful when leaving her with new people. However, Claire was fantastic! She really put our minds at rest and took great care of our awkward dog. She's did everything we asked and more and I would highly recommend her. Thanks so much Claire. I think Brody was missing you today. x”
“What a diamond this woman is. She took our baby for just over a week and gave her nothing but good times and love. We first met Shayna for a walk with her two Spaniels to check how they were together. We then agreed it was all good and then, when the day came, Shayna first ensured we met outside the property, had a very quick walk for the dogs to get acquainted once again then let us stay and look around as much of the property as much as we wanted. We felt very safe to leave our little baby dog there! Since we left her, we had numerous updates and constant reassurance that our dog was being well looked after. We even received videos and pictures. Best of all, our pup was taken to an agility course AND a doggy swimming pool! She’s had the time of her life and cannot thank Shayna enough for the amazing service and looking after our dog.”
“I can’t recommend Dipali and her husband enough! They were absolute lifesavers when our original dog sitter canceled on us last minute, just before our holiday to Morocco. Despite never having met us or Pablo before, they kindly agreed to take him in without a meet-and-greet, and at such short notice. From the moment my brother dropped Pablo off on Friday evening until we picked him up on Tuesday, Dipali and her husband provided the most loving and attentive care. They kept me updated with regular photos and messages, which gave me total peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that Pablo felt completely at home—he was so happy and comfortable that he’s actually crying the front door wanting to go back! Dipali and her husband truly have a passion for dogs, and their kindness and dedication shine through in the way they care for them. I’m beyond grateful for their help and will definitely be booking with them again. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Pablo!xx”
“Ginny was so relaxed with Agnieszka and her family. Agnieszka put our minds to rest with regular messages and photos. We can’t recommend enough and will definitely be using again.”
About: I have cat sitted several times over the last few years for other owners and thoroughly enjoy it! I have also dog sitted and walked dogs of all sizes. I offer services from dog and also cat boarding to drop in visits/house sitting and dog walking. I have a family pet cat who I adore so much! I adopted Milo since he was 10 weeks old and he always makes me smile everyday. (He does live with my family) if I were to look after your cat or dog I could either attend to them where they live or to my flat (where I live alone with no pets) I enjoy being around cats and although I have not had dogs as a pet before, I have been around friends who do have some. I think having pets always cheers people up as they’re full of life. I groom my cat, bathe him, comb his hair, clean his food tray, litter and also feed him twice daily. I have dog and cat sitted before so have experience doing both. Please get in touch and feel free to ask any questions! Thank you I am on here to look after cute pets that need taking care of and would be more than happy to help out the owner. I would describe myself as someone who is caring and outgoing. I currently reside in Leicester near Glenfield and they’re are a lot of nice parks nearby for the doggies (also me). I would also be interested in house sitting, cat or dog sitting, day care and also walking. Can take last minute bookings and if needed my services for a longer period of time more than a week, I could negotiate the rate. Currently working for the NHS but over the holiday Christmas period I’m available to sit. I could work around my schedule. I genuinely love pets and it’s nice to unwind to have a little play time and to care for them. I have a family cat that if full of energy, loves going out to play in the garden! Everyday is a routine when looking after Milo and first thing making sure his food bowl is cleaned and he is fed.. grooming everyday as his hair sheds a lot. Days consist of lots of cuddles and neck scratches and making sure he is well looked after.
