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.
“Amanda and her family looked after our Frenchie really well. I had lots of lovely updates and pictures too. He enjoyed all the cuddles. We wouldn’t hesitate to send him to stay again :)) x”
“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!”
“This was the firsts time we have used this service and the Steve and his family was excellent. Regualar updates and Luna my dog was looked after to high standard, which allowed us to enjoy wedding we was at knowing she was in safe hands many thanks 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 🐾”
“Highly recommended! Aleksandra took care of my 1yo dog for a week and I couldn’t thank her enough for communicating daily of how Leia is doing and providing the best service!”
“Just picked Nellie up after a weekend with Lewis. Love the home from home environment where she was well cared for and was sent updates and photos of her stay. Would definitely recommend Lewis. Thank you so much for looking after her 🐕😊”
“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.”
“Ivana looked after our Jack Russell/Staffy cross Brian for two nights this week, and she (plus her lovely husband and superb assistant Andrew!) were wonderful with him : ) He's not always the easiest dog to get to know as he can be wary of new people, and Ivana and Andrew showed patience, kindness and humour with him (you need humour with Brian at times!) Needless to say by the time we collected him he had made himself right at home! We're very grateful to them both and are already arranging our next holiday! Thanks so much x”
“Chang had looked after my two cats for a week when my family went abroad. When we went to see her she was very nice and friendly and was open to listen to any specifics about how the cats should be kept or what they eat. Whilst away, she kept me constantly updated and let me knew how the cats were getting along, how much they were/weren’t eating and if there was any litter issues etc. Though my cats hadn’t stayed with others before they seemed very comfortable and she made sure they were constantly well looked after. If I’m ever away for a period of time again, Chang is someone who I would trust to look after them again.”
About: Dogs have literally been my whole world. Growing up... I had everything from my mum's sassy little sausage dog to big, bouncy German Shepherds. My proudest moment? Adopting a retired police dog... and at one point, having three large dogs under my roof all at once. I live for the chaos! Love playing, training, talking to them (full conversations, obviously!), and walking them endlessly until their tongues are hanging out. Here's the thing... I'm petite. But walking these big, powerful dogs actually gives me the bravery to explore Leicester properly. Dogs show me pathways and hidden spots I'd never find alone... and in return, I keep them safe, exercised, and happy. Now I'm settled on Vaughan Way, right in the city centre, and I've been loving discovering Abbey Park, the riverside, and every green patch Leicester has to offer. I'd genuinely love for your pup to be my next walking buddy. I'm actually out of work right now, so my schedule is completely open! I'm on this whole healthy self-betterment wave, and honestly, breaking up my day with a good dog walk would be amazing for both of us. Noon or night, I'm totally flexible and happy to fit around your pup's routine. Let's get those tails wagging! Safety is literally my number one priority. I've had three large dogs at once, including a retired police dog... so I know how to read their body language and keep them out of trouble. On walks, I stay totally focused on the dog, no phone scrolling, just me and your pup exploring Abbey Park, the riverside, or wherever they love to sniff. I keep them on a lead unless you say otherwise, and I always carry poop bags and water. Honestly, I just want them to feel safe, happy, and completely themselves while you're away.
“We had a great experience with Maria taking care of our potato, Rupert. She was responsible, communicative, and very loving toward him. It was clear that Rupert felt comfortable and happy with her. Maria gave us great peace of mind while we were away, and we would absolutely trust her again in the future.”
About: I genuinely treat every pet like family—caring for them with love, patience, and attention to detail. I’m comfortable caring for senior pets, and keeping up with energetic puppies. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine and personality, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. You can count on me for regular updates, photos, and peace of mind! I work as a researcher during the day at the University of Leicester, and since I live on my own, pet sitting is a wonderful way for me to enjoy companionship during the evenings and weekends. I genuinely love spending time with animals—it’s relaxing, rewarding, and brings a sense of balance to my routine. I’m also currently raising funds for a medical mission trip to Uganda, so pet sitting allows me to contribute to a meaningful cause while doing something I truly enjoy. Your pet will be in caring, responsible hands, and you’ll be supporting a good cause too! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or at the owner’s home, my approach is always the same: make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I stick closely to their usual routines for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest to reduce any stress or anxiety. I give each pet plenty of attention and make sure their space is clean and cozy. If I’m in the owner’s home, I treat it with the utmost respect—keeping everything tidy and sending regular updates with photos, so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. Their wellbeing is always my top priority.
“Simba stayed with Demi, Leonard and Philip for 2 nights and we were sent daily photos and messages throughout the day and we were able to enjoy our sons birthday weekend not having to worry about him, Simba loved his time with Demi and the family Simba really enjoyed his stay has he started to whine as we drove off. Only a family who loves dogs would leave so much affection on to a dog. All in all a absolutely fantastic vacation for the pup. Already booking for October. 100% i am now a repeat customer A+******”

About: I’m currently a student home for summer and have grown up with cats my whole life, so I have lots of experience caring for them. I am always the first to say hello to any cat I encounter. I was the primary carer for my two elderly cats during my gap year before University as well as looking after them when I was home. This included helping them go up and down the stairs, help at meal times and administering medication. Growing up I always played with them and frequently came up with new games so your cats will always have fun with me! I would ensure your cats are well looked after and given the attention and love they deserve when their owners are away!

“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.”

Would have no hesitation in booking Rachel again and would definitely recommend. Thank you Rachel .”

“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!”

Can’t recommend her enough! I know I’m going to come back - I say you choose her too!!”

About: I have always been surrounded by animal's growing up and have a deep love and care for them. I often look after friends and families pets either staying in their home or the dogs come here.

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.
“Snoopy spent the entire day with Aliya. She was fantastic in keeping me posted on how snoopy is doing throughout the day; accompanied with pictures. It definitely showed that snoopy was comfortable and being looked after well. Will definitely recommend her and use her her services whenever needed. Top class.”
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.
“Dropped Leia off yesterday for the first time. Wasn’t sure how she would be as she doesn’t like being left with just anybody but she was fine. Chloe took her for a walk and gave her dinner as requested and Leia seemed happy. Was in contact leading up to the booking and on the day, so good communication. Will definitely book again.”
“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 :)”
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. I understand that every pet has its own unique personality and needs, which is why I provide personalized care to ensure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. 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. I can’t wait to meet your furry friends and give them the love and care they truly deserve!
About: Big dog fan, but I can’t get my own due to work commitments in the week as I commute to work. Happy to look after yours and walk them or let them chase me on a run. I might even manage to teach them to give me a high five! I’ve got a terrace house with a comfy sofa and a garden to sniff around. I’ve had a dog for a year and learnt so much about caring for them and picking up any unhappy dog noises. I live near two big parks which are great for long walks and meeting other dogs for a chase. Preferably no dogs who like to chew or eat the sofa or cushions. Other than that my house is clean and tidy.
About: I have many years of hands-on experience caring for animals, both through volunteering at an animal shelter and privately for friends and family. Working with animals has always been an important part of my life – something I truly enjoy and find deeply rewarding. I currently dedicate most of my free time to animals, simply because I love their company and genuinely care about their well-being. 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. Your pet will have full access to my home. I also have a quiet, private room where pets can relax whenever they need their own space – a great balance between comfort and calm. Whether it’s an energetic dog that needs long walks or a shy cat who prefers a cozy corner, I adapt to what makes each animal feel best.
“Absolutely amazing couple. Communicated with me throughout the day, sent lots of photos and videos. Welcomed Lulu into their home Asif she was their own. And also took her to an enclosed park so she was nice and tired for when I picked her up. Will 100% book again if needed. Thank you so much for taking care of Lulu 🥰”

“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.”
About: Hello everyone! My name is Martina, an italian girl just finished her PhD in Genetics at University of Leicester. I have had a lovely Yorkie for 14 years (Maya, in the pic). She has always had health problems (she underwent three surgeries and was suffering of seizures and food allergy) which means I am well trained to take care of any kind of need your dog might have (I learned how to do injections, clean wounds, give a bath, administrate pills or other medicaments on a daily basis and respecting the time). Since I moved abroad I have missed her a lot. Even though she is not with me anymore I still have a lot of love and care to give and so i thought the best way was to become a pet sitter which not only might help someone in need but would also help me to do one of the things that i love most! I am not going to the lab at the moment as I just submitted my thesis which means I am quite flexible about days and hours. About me, I consider myself a very friendly and easy-going person. In addition I fluently speak Italian, English, Spanish a bit of Arabic. I also have a car. If you think I could be a good temporary companion for your pet, do not hesitate to contact me. :) I have just finished my PhD and I am currently unemployed so I am very flexible and can accommodate all your needs and those of your pet too of course! I live in a residential area with many parks close by to walk the dogs. My flat is small (2 bedrooms flat) but I have a big living room with space for the dog.

About: I’ve had my dog, a Jack Russell, for 6 years & have built on very strong & close relationship with her.

I have my own transport and I don’t mind travelling to different locations for pick ups and drop off. I also have experience looking after rabbits and small mammals. My priority is to provide safe and loving care to every animal and to provide excellent communication to clients for peace of mind. Duties include feeding, providing fresh water, cleaning litter trays, grooming, socialising, offering regular playtime and showing care and love to pets. I always send regular photos, text updates and follow all instructions left by clients for their fur babies. My recent experience includes boarding a kitten for two nights in my home, boarding a British shorthair cat for three nights, boarding a ragdoll cat for eight nights and providing home visits for many different cats. I believe that a relationship of trust is crucial between a pet owner and caregiver. I ensure that the clients pet is safe and comfortable at all times when I care for them in my own home. I aim to follow the routine set out by pet owners and ensure that their pet has a clean environment, fresh water, food, naps and playtime at the correct time. I also understand the importance of playing games and offering stimulation for pets to avoid boredom and offer an outlet for their predatory instincts. I absolutely love spending quality time with cats. Look forward to hearing from you. Many thanks I can fit pet care in to my daily schedule and I’m available for home visits during term time and school holidays. I also offer boarding in my home and can manage to give your pet lots of attention. I believe that a relationship of trust is crucial between a pet owner and caregiver.

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 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.
“Amanda and her family looked after our Frenchie really well. I had lots of lovely updates and pictures too. He enjoyed all the cuddles. We wouldn’t hesitate to send him to stay again :)) x”
“This was the firsts time we have used this service and the Steve and his family was excellent. Regualar updates and Luna my dog was looked after to high standard, which allowed us to enjoy wedding we was at knowing she was in safe hands many thanks 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 🐾”
“Highly recommended! Aleksandra took care of my 1yo dog for a week and I couldn’t thank her enough for communicating daily of how Leia is doing and providing the best service!”
About: Dogs have literally been my whole world. Growing up... I had everything from my mum's sassy little sausage dog to big, bouncy German Shepherds. My proudest moment? Adopting a retired police dog... and at one point, having three large dogs under my roof all at once. I live for the chaos! Love playing, training, talking to them (full conversations, obviously!), and walking them endlessly until their tongues are hanging out. Here's the thing... I'm petite. But walking these big, powerful dogs actually gives me the bravery to explore Leicester properly. Dogs show me pathways and hidden spots I'd never find alone... and in return, I keep them safe, exercised, and happy. Now I'm settled on Vaughan Way, right in the city centre, and I've been loving discovering Abbey Park, the riverside, and every green patch Leicester has to offer. I'd genuinely love for your pup to be my next walking buddy. I'm actually out of work right now, so my schedule is completely open! I'm on this whole healthy self-betterment wave, and honestly, breaking up my day with a good dog walk would be amazing for both of us. Noon or night, I'm totally flexible and happy to fit around your pup's routine. Let's get those tails wagging! Safety is literally my number one priority. I've had three large dogs at once, including a retired police dog... so I know how to read their body language and keep them out of trouble. On walks, I stay totally focused on the dog, no phone scrolling, just me and your pup exploring Abbey Park, the riverside, or wherever they love to sniff. I keep them on a lead unless you say otherwise, and I always carry poop bags and water. Honestly, I just want them to feel safe, happy, and completely themselves while you're away.
“Simba stayed with Demi, Leonard and Philip for 2 nights and we were sent daily photos and messages throughout the day and we were able to enjoy our sons birthday weekend not having to worry about him, Simba loved his time with Demi and the family Simba really enjoyed his stay has he started to whine as we drove off. Only a family who loves dogs would leave so much affection on to a dog. All in all a absolutely fantastic vacation for the pup. Already booking for October. 100% i am now a repeat customer A+******”
“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”
“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.”
“We couldn't be happier with the care Bethany provided! Milo was so happy and settled the entire time he was with her. We appreciate her brilliant service a lot and would definitely recommend Bethany to anyone looking for a reliable dogsitter.”
“Polly was so lovely and accommodating. Made a real effort with our dog. He wanted to stay when we went to pick him up!!! Will certainly be staying with Polly again if she’s available.”
“Levi looked to have a great time, I received lots of photos of Levi on walks and relaxing with lots of toys and dogs to play with. Will certainly reach out when I need another sitter. Thanks for having him and providing a great week for Levi”
“Seb was with Milena for a night and most of a second day, Seb absolutely loved it! Milena was very attentive to Seb’s needs and she kept in touch with me throughout the time with updates including pictures. Milena is highly recommended, would not hesitate to book again!”
About: I bloody love animals. No, really. Working with animals is probably the only career I could get out of bed for on a daily basis. I've looked after pets of all varieties for about 20 years. Dogs, cats, budgies, chickens, ducks, hamsters, guinea pigs, rabbits - I even rode horses once. I am a psychologist by profession, and have a BSc and MSc degree. I work full time as a researcher in the Leicester/Nottingham area, and work primarily with mental health and personality disorder. It is because I'm a psychologist that I realise how important it is to spend time with animals. Just their presence is invariably good for psychological well-being, and come on, a dog skidding around on a floor is better entertainment than any TV. I think these dogsitting sessions would be fantastic, as it gives me a chance to help you while your pet brings a bit of joy to someone else. I am trustworthy, responsible and hardworking, and I live in a stable home with my partner; I am fully DBS checked and have experience working with children and vulnerable groups. Anything I can do to reassure you your pet is in good hands - I will. Drop me a message and let's work something out.
“Ria was a fantastic dog sitter for our pooches. She was accommodating, flexible and they clearly loved spending time with her. Ria kept me in the loop with what they were getting up to, with plenty of pictures too. I will absolutely be rebooking with her. Thank you Ria!”
