She seemed very happy and content and we were sent daily feedback on her progress which was very comforting for both of us.

“Jamie and Andrea were fabulous with our two. They made us feel really comfortable, and were really flexible when our pick up situation needed to change. They were really communicative and we loved seeing pictures of our girls on their holidays!”
“Leah was brilliant with our Frank, an older boy, they made sure he was well taken care of. Went a little off his breakfast with the heatwave but Leah couldn’t have been more helpful, even picking up particular foods to help him. Lots of pictures and updates to put us at ease. A regular for us now no doubt ☺️”
“George had a great second time staying with Pui Yan. I received many videos and photos of George having a ball. Pui Yan even taught him a few new tricks (touch and paw) and gave him some puppy perfume. He slept like a log when he got back home!”
“Manuela was absolutely great! She replied always very fast, it was really easy to communicate with her. She took great care of my little Charlie whilst I was away, always sending us pictures and updates. I could tell my dog had a lot of fun with her. I totally recommend to leave your furry kids with Manuela?”
About: I’ve had dogs all my life, and currently have a golden retriever two years old, called Sam. I work from home Monday Wednesday Thursday and can do weekends. Sam is playful and friendly and would love the company of another dog too, I have a spacious garden, and a cool house in summer. I work from home so can look after your pup. I am saving for a new house so I’m pretty much home all the time! a lunchtime walk and access to a large fenced garden and a cool living room/kitchen. I spend most of the day with a golden retriever so can offer human and mutt company for your pup!
“Edwina and her partner were absolutely fantastic! We had updates each day of our boy Vinnie and he looked completely content and happy in the pictures received. Communication was great and she made sure to have a full breakdown of Vinnies needs and preferences prior to our booking. Would definitely recommend Edwina to anyone in need of a dog sitter 😊”
“From the moment we met David and Angie at our initial meet and greet, I knew that Chester would feel right at home with them. They clearly have a love for dogs and really enjoy looking after them. Their communication was excellent from start to finish and I absolutely loved the fact they wanted to know every detail about Chester in order for him to be relaxed and comfortable and to stay as close to his normal routine as possible. I could tell when we picked him up that he had had a great time and I really appreciated the photos and updates we received. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with David and Angie again. Thank you!”
“Gary took excellent care of our two dogs from the 7th August till the 10th as we had a short break. its the first time the dogs have been away from our home (they are aged 9&7) so it was a big deal for them and us, but Gary made friends with the girls and put our minds at ease about leaving them for the first time. Gary has a secure back garden and his kitchen door gives access to the rear garden all day for the dogs use, even then one of the girls left a number two on the rug just after we left, but Gary handled it well and said it was just part of the settling in process. I took a printed sheet with me with feeing guidlines etc. so that Gary knew the quirks of our dogs and Gary said that was appreciated. We will use Gary again next time we go on holiday as the dogs seemed to love being at his home.”
“I couldn't recommend her enough! She looked after my kitten, Nico, overnight, and I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such caring and capable hands. She kept me updated, was so kind and welcoming, and it was clear that Nico was well looked after and comfortable during his stay. When I picked him up, I could tell he'd been given lots of love and attention. It was such a relief knowing he was being cared for by someone I could trust. I'll definitely be booking with her again whenever I need a cat sitter. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Nico!”

About: What sets me apart is the range of hands-on experience I’ve had with animals.

Growing up with two cats of my own has also given me the patience and understanding to make pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved.

About: I've grown up with cats my whole life and have always loved being around them. I also regularly help friends and family care for their cats when they're away, so I've had the chance to get to know lots of different personalities. I understand that every cat is unique and take the time to make each one feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own way.
“Szilvia was brilliant! She and her lovely son took such good care of our little Kiko; spending time with her, playing with and cuddling her. We received daily updates, along with photos and videos. She also kindly helped our plants survive while we were away. Would highly recommend her! Thanks again Szilvia!!😄”
“Ella has been great looking after the monsters during a heatwave. She kept them cool and well looked after, and I returned to happy healthy kitties. She sent daily updates and photos which helped me to enjoy my holiday without worry.”
“Nikki looked after our 4 cats for 12 days providing drop in visits. We were anxious to leave them, especially as our eldest has kidney disease and needs regular medication. We needn't have worried though as Nikki took excellent care of them all and kept us updated with daily photos. She is definitely a true cat lover and a lovely person and we wouldn't hesitate to use her again or recommend her to others. 10/10 service! 😊”
About: I grew up with cats, having five at once for a period as a child. Raised with good expectations of cat care, learning to feed them and clean their litter from almost the same time as I learned to walk! I believe I have the ability to read cats and their feelings exceptionally well, and understand both their needs for affection and alone time!
“Rebekah was really quick in responding to my request which was helpful. She arrived on time and followed all instructions for Mimi's food and care which I appreciated. Mimi my cat adjusted well to Rebekah and I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter. She also left the apartment clean and tidy and was in general an easy going sitter.”
About: I know cats have their own personalities—some love constant play, while others just want a calm presence and a clean litter box. I take time to understand your cat’s routine, so they feel safe and cared for even when you’re away. 🐾 Fresh food, water, and litter box cleaning every visit 🧶 Playtime and enrichment for active cats 💕 Gentle companionship for shy or senior cats 📸 Daily photo/video updates so you know your kitty is happy
“Devon was absolutely brilliant with Kuda. He was reliable, calm, and clearly confident with dogs, which put me at ease straight away. Kuda was well cared for, happy, and relaxed during the visits, and communication throughout was great. I really appreciated the updates and the care shown — it’s clear Devon genuinely loves what he does. I wouldn’t hesitate to book again and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive sitter.”

“First stay with Jamie and hopefully will not be the last. My dog was very well cared for and he was content on picking up. Jamie and his partner were considerate and made sure they understood his behaviours. I would happily leave my dog in their care again.”

“David and Angela are a lovely couple who are so attentive and kind to our young dog Bramble. He came home a happy dog and a tired boy after his day with them. Also photos to show of his time with them which is lovely.”
“Laura was absolutely fantastic. Treated Nala to a lovely day of walks and an all round pleasant day, keeping me informed throughout. Would 100% recommend Laura to anyone in the Nottingham area if they need someone to look after their dog. Thanks Laura!”
“Very happy with Emil. Had to leave our dog for the day, somewhat last minute. Felt confident leaving him in Emil's capable hands, and Apollo came back a happy dog. Would have no hesitation leaving our dog with him again”
About: I've grown up with dogs all my life, I've never had a year go by without them! I've had experience with elderly dogs I've volunteered walking rescue dogs for 3+ years, and helped out with walking and watching elderly people's dogs and house sat with cats. I've just recently graduated from university and am currently looking for a work-from-home job in the comics industry, I am fully at home and present and will be able to give your beloved family members the attention they deserve! I have a fenced garden and no pets living here, although there is a dog in the family who visits, upon request. I can separate your pets if they need space as our house is nice and big, there's plenty of room for them to stretch their legs, and a park in close proximity.
About: My boyfriend and I both grew up with family dogs, and ever since moving in together had our own dog. We trained her via doggy school since she was a little pup and took her on many adventures that went as far as moving to the UK with her. We regularly looked after our families dogs as well when they went away on holiday. We unfortunately had to say goodbye to our little girl recently due to age. While we are looking for our next sweetheart, we have an abundance of love, walks and empty spots on the sofa for your furry friend! I work from home, but I occasionally have to travel for work and my partner is only 10 minutes away - both with flexible hours. This allows us to plan our days around your dogs needs! We live less then a minute walk from a big park and can easily go for multiple walks a day if they’re up to it. We also have a fully enclosed garden with space for running around. We’re flexible with your dogs needs, whether they require a crate to sleep in, prefer to sleep on the couch or on their doggy bed, just let us know. Near the end of her life, our dog became blind with different health issues. Going through this gives us experience to also take care of (senior) dogs who have a complex medical history. We have full flexibility for how we plan our working days. Whether we wake up early to go for a walk before breakfast, use our lunch break, or swap our evening sports for a long walk, we will adjust based on your dogs usual routine. With our enclosed garden, there’s plenty of playtime opportunities as well! In the weekend, we are able to make sure one of us is at home for most of the day if required. The garden is spacious and dog friendly. The house has enough room to place the dog’s personal bed or crate if needed. They are more then welcome to join us (and sleep) on our sofa as well. Feeding and walking are arranged to what they are used to, no matter how many times a day. Different medical routines are easily incorporated - experience with eye drops as well as regular pills.
“Natasha was absolutely amazing. She took such good care of our dog, was super flexible with timings, responded to messages quickly and was so lovely. I trusted her completely and will definitely be asking her to look after our dog again!”
“Here’s a warm, polished review you could post: We needed someone to look after Rupert due to a change in our work commitments, and we’re so glad we found Olivia. Olivia was absolutely fantastic with Rupert. It was clear from all the photos and videos that he had an amazing time and really enjoyed spending time with both Olivia and Jasper too! Seeing how happy he was throughout the day gave us complete peace of mind. Communication was excellent from start to finish, and Olivia kept us updated with plenty of photos and videos. They really made me smile during my workday and reassured me that Rupert was having the best time. Thank you so much, Olivia, for taking such great care of Rupert. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with you again and would highly recommend you to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter.”
About: Friendly, Responsible & Caring - Here for your Home-Sitting, Dog Walking & Pet-Caring peace of mind & needs! I am a 48 year old, professional female, with my own location-free business. My life and lifestyle means that I can be anywhere in the world, and take breaks whenever I can and choose. I love adventure, am used to adapting to new people and situations (I've lived and traveledin many countries), and love new experiences. :) I have come back to the UK after having returned to the US in 2018, and previously lived in the UK from 2002 to 2016 - and spent close to 4 1/2 years travelling around Europe, the US and UK, primarily while house and pet-sitting for home owners and their families. I am here to help you - to give you assurance and peace of mind as YOU travel and experience new things, too! I am here to be of service as you vacation, holiday and take time away! (**A quick note to please ensure you let me know any house rules at the start of each house sit position - I will remember to ask as well! - to save any potential misunderstandings that could lead to difficulties :) ) Any questions, please don't hesitate to let me know and get in touch. I thank you for your time and look forward to being a part of your home and pet-sitting needs! Why I want to house sit I have been home and pet sitting professionally since 2015 (and taking care of fur babies far longer :) ), and love every single new experience and opportunity that comes. I love the chance to see new and interesting places, as well as have city adventures near where I already live when those arrive also. I love the flexibility and chance to be of help and support to beautiful people (like you!) as well as their pets if they have any. (I am mildly allergic to cats, so consider assignments with cats on a case by case basis - I can take allergy medicine as needed, too.) I'm very happy to pet-sit and care for most animals during assignments - having grown up with family dogs, I also greatly miss having my own!) I am lucky in that my work affords me the time and flexibility to travel more, also, which means house-sitting and pet-sitting is a perfect accompaniment to it all. Anything I can do to also help YOU with peace of mind and assurance, so that you can just enjoy yourself and RELAX :) while you are away means the world. It's a win-win, for all of us and both sides, really! My experience Having grown up with pets I also miss not having my own - I look forward to being a caring friend and caregiver to yours, if you have them, while you are away at work, vacation and holiday, or during the day. I'm glad to take on local dog walking opportunities, for instance, and am very happy to assist with health care, medicine and so on if they need anything continued while you are away. (I also have dog obedience experience, and so am very happy to continue up any routine you have for the animal's consistency.) I am additionally very happy to help with any light household duties or gardening needs, so you can rest easily knowing those will also be taken care of for you. I have some Spanish and French speaking skills, and also greatly love the opportunity to test and strengthen my language knowledge. Therefore, non-English speaking locations will not be a problem for me, and I welcome and get excited with the opportunity when available! A responsive and responsible person, I am also very happy to give regular updates if you'd like, on how things are going and/or if there is anything that comes up that needs your notice - such as bills or any important phone calls and so on. I am very happy to assist with references should you like any, in addition to those on my profile here. When house and pet-sitting, I am able to give pets bathroom breaks as often as the owners wish. I have put in that I can do so every 0-2 hours, however I am happy to amend this to whatever you rather! I greatly appreciate your time, attention and consideration of me with and for your house and pet-sitting needs, and am here to help should you have any thoughts or questions you'd like help with. Thank you!! :) I work from home, and so as long as I have access to wifi, I can be anywhere in the world! This means that I can also be there for your home and furry loved ones - and be their substitute family while you are away! I house and pet sit in your home. This means that I'm able to give loving, responsible care for your home and fur babies - just like you! I replicate your routine, send you regular updates with photos, and give your furry loved ones the VERY best in fun, love and care! (Along with your home!!) All so that YOU can rest, relax and enjoy your time away - knowing all your loved ones are safe, loved and well cared for... For them AND you!!!

I enjoy spending my free time with animals, so fitting pet care into my day feels natural. I’m happy to work around your schedule and make sure your pets get the time, attention, and care they need. For drop-ins, I make sure pets have fresh food and water, a potty break, and some playtime or cuddles so they feel happy and comfortable while their owners are away. I always check that everything is safe and secure before I leave. For dog walks, I focus on giving each dog the right balance of exercise and fun, whether that’s a brisk walk or a slower pace for older dogs. I keep walks safe by using secure leads, being aware of surroundings, and tailoring the walk to each dog’s needs and energy level
“Very happy with care Jackie provided for my pup Luke, although I didn't get any updates throughout the day. I could see that he was happy on the photos. He didn't want to leave as he fell in love with guinea pigs. Will definitely book again.”
About: I love all animals and I have taken care of dogs and cats for over 20 years. I also look after family and friend's pets often. I work from home 5 days a week (mon-fri) and I can fit visiting/walking your pets easily. I am very flexible over the weekends and late afternoon/evenings. I will respect your home whilst I keep company to your pet. I will follow your instructions on how to get to your house and look after your pet.
About: I’ve always had a pet growing up and couldn’t be without them. I have two indoor cats and two sausage dogs. I love having company! I work from home and have flexibility. I can walk the dogs with my dogs or separately. Happy to do 2-3 walks a day for the pooches I have a huge crate, fenced garden, and lots of nice local walks. My two sausage dogs love company. I treat pets like family members at my house!
About: I owned two dogs when I was in Italy. I was responsible for caring for my dog since I was 13. My dog lived 15 years and the second is now 12 but he is in Italy with my sister. We went for walks in the forest and loved going to the park to play with other dogs. I have experience in walking different sizes of dogs. I also have 8 years experience in looking after guinea pigs. I have 2 cats that can be separated from pets boarding in a different room I am currently off work until the middle of July, so I will be at home most of the day. This means I can provide regular walks, plenty of playtime, toilet breaks, feeding, medication if needed, and lots of attention and companionship. Your pet will not be left alone for long periods and will receive consistent care throughout the day. Lots of cuddles and stimulation. Always supervised and have a pet camera. I make sure to follow the pets routine and keep owner up to date with messages and pictures
About: Hi, we’re Leah (you can call me Leah – my legal name is Youngkyung) and Cameron, a cat loving couple based in Nottingham! 🐱💕 Cameron grew up with his beloved cat, Tiger, who was by his side for 22 wonderful years. Tiger taught Cameron the true meaning of love and care, and I (Leah) joined his life 5 years ago, having the privilege of caring for her as well. Even in the short time I spent with Tiger, I learned how special the bond between a person and their pet can be. As Tiger became a senior, we developed our skills in caring for older cats, learning to provide specialized attention to their unique needs. This includes administering medications, understanding dietary requirements, and ensuring they have a comfortable and safe environment. I am currently dedicated to full-time Rover cat sitting, while Cameron works full-time in retail management. This arrangement allows me to promise full availability and a reliable backup plan, ensuring your precious kitty receives the personalized attention they deserve whenever needed. One of the greatest benefits of choosing us as your kitty’s sitters is our heartfelt commitment as a couple to provide flexible and loving care. We’ve both missed having a furry companion in our lives! We live in a cozy, cat-friendly flat, perfect for welcoming your kitty into a quiet and safe space. Our flat especially has a door separating the living room from the entrance to ensure a secure environment for your cat. We’re non-smokers, and our home is peaceful and warm. Ideal setting for your pet to feel relaxed and cared for! 🌿☀️ Let us be your kitty’s next best friends! We can’t wait to meet them and give them all the love and attention they deserve. With us, your kitty will always feel right at home! 💓💓 P.S. I can take the best pictures of your kitty while you’re away!

About: Hello! I’m a lifelong pet lover who simply adores being around animals. While I don’t hold official professional certificates, I offer something just as valuable: over 10 years of genuine, hands-on experience looking after dogs from playful puppies right through to sweet seniors. I’m lucky to have a natural bond with dogs—they usually sense my love for them straight away! It’s a running joke that usually female dogs end up giving me kisses on our very first meeting. Back home, I'm a proud owner of two lovely bunnies, so my life truly revolves around animal welfare and happiness. My Doggy Experience • A Decade of Love: I’ve spent the last 10 years learning exactly what dogs need at different stages of their lives, from high-energy pup play to gentle senior strolls. • Breeds I’ve Loved & Looked After: I used to own a wonderful Mongrel in Hong Kong and have plenty of experience dog-sitting Poodles and Shiba Inus. How I Can Help You • Holiday Dog Sitting: I’ll stay at your home to keep your furry friend company while you’re away, ensuring their routine doesn't change and they feel completely safe. • Dog Walking: Reliable, fun walks to stretch those legs and burn off some energy. A Little Note from Me: I might not have a piece of paper qualification, but I have a huge heart and a home-from-home approach. I promise to treat your dog like a member of my own family! I work for a consulting firm with highly flexible working hours and a remote-working environment. I could control over my schedule and can easily work from your home while keeping your dog company. Mirror their usual day-to-day life : Before you head away, I will make sure to fully understand your dog’s exact daily routine—including their precise feeding times, favourite walking routes, sleeping habits, and any specific quirks. Your furry friend won't be left alone for long periods; I will be there to offer tummy rubs, toilet breaks, and attention throughout the day while I work!
About: I've grown up around dogs all my life and they've always been part of my family. While I haven't owned a dog myself as an adult, I regularly care for my sister's dog, both in her home and in my own flat, so I'm comfortable with day-to-day routines, walks, feeding, playtime and providing plenty of attention and companionship. I work remotely from home, which gives me plenty of flexibility throughout the day to care for pets. This means I can accommodate daytime walks, drop-in visits, feeding schedules and toilet breaks, rather than being limited to mornings and evenings. For dogs boarding with me, they will have company for most of the day and won't be left alone for long periods. I can provide regular walks, playtime and attention alongside maintaining their usual routine. I'm also available for house sitting and can work remotely from your home, allowing me to spend more time with your pet and minimize disruption to their normal environment and schedule. Your pet's safety, comfort and wellbeing are my top priorities. I live in a first-floor flat in a quiet area and take care to provide a calm and safe environment for any dog in my care. Although I do not have a garden, I live next to a canal, with plenty of nearby green space and walking routes, making it easy to provide regular exercise, enrichment and outdoor time throughout the day. As I work remotely, I am able to keep a close eye on pets in my care and ensure they receive plenty of attention and companionship. I understand that every dog has different needs and routines, and I will always follow your instructions carefully to help them feel settled, happy and secure while you're away. I'm also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind that your pet is being well looked after.
About: Hi I am the proud foster Mummy to a lovely tabby cat called Charlotte. She is my world ♡ Charlotte got lost at Skegness a while back for 27 days, but after a lot of hard work, tears and sleepless nights I found her and she was brought safely back home. I look forward to meeting you and looking after your fur babies when you and they need some extra help with lots of fuss and cuddles xx Any of my friends can tell you I adore cats. I always carry around a packet of cat treats in my car as I'm driving around for work providing social care rehabilitation in the community, just incase I see any feline friends on my travels. I have a full DBS check and will promise to give your little one(s) as much love, care and attention as I do my own. One thing I love about my job is the opportunity to meet new people and their pets :) I live in Mapperley and have my own car so I can travel a little further afield. I have experience administering medications onto food and applying eye drops. I'm not confident in giving oral medications or injections, but if shown I'm sure I will be fine :) I can do drop in visits for your fur babies at your own home so your cat feels comfortable in their own surroundings or I can look after them at my property. I am already a registered cat sitter on Cat in a flat.
About: I have experience with rescue dogs and building bonds and trust. I know the importance of understanding what your dog needs no matter the temperament. I enjoy training new tricks and taking them for adventures. I believe I can offer your dog fun and make their stays like a holiday I work from home most of the week. My mornings start by walking maple first thing in the morning, on my lunch break and after work. With plenty of playtime in between. I am very lucky to be living with a veterinary nurse who is always on hand to help where needed. I am very flexible to your dogs routine and will aim to mirror this. Maple is very adaptable and loves having other dogs as company. Most days I aim to take them out together. If your dog prefers walks alone then this is available

About: I've always loved dogs and have been a volunteer dog walker for the Cinnamon Trust charity for the last 3 years, walking 3 dogs of different ages and abilities. I walked each of these for different owners, with some dogs able to do long walks and others only a short distance due to age. I'm always happy to be flexible to the dog or owner's needs and like to make sure both a comfortable with me before setting off on a walk. I'm an avid watcher of Crufts and have been to the NEC for the past 3 years to discover all things dogs. I love watching the agility and obedience training, as well as petting lots of fluffy friends around the arena.

I can walk dogs evenings and weekends, with some flexibility to be able to walk mornings or late afternoons if you live nearby! I'll do my best to work around your needs 😊 I'm not allowed pets in my flat, so can't offer pet sitting or fostering unfortunately! But through the Cinnamon Trust I have visited dogs in their home and have helped get them ready for walks, as well as have a post-walk play!

I’m caring, patient, and I love spending my evenings curled up on the sofa with a dog for company. I have a high-energy, cuddly cavapoo at home and a little boy who adores dogs, so I am very used to playtime, walks, and lots of cuddles I am home all week and on weekends, so your dog will have company and won’t be left alone for long. Routine is important to me and I am happy to follow whatever schedule your dog is used to.

We can do two shorter walks a day, or one longer country walk — we’re really close to some lovely countryside here in Cotgrave. Your dog’s safety and comfort is my top priority.

About: I have just qualified as a vet, and am having some time off over summer, and I’m looking for some animal company over this time! I have grown up around animals and always had a passion for pet care. My time on the vet course has given me experience looking after a large range of breeds from the very small to very big. It has also given me plenty of experience with medical care for animals, and I may be able to accommodate to pets with more complex medical needs. I have also have experience taking care of puppies, including orphaned new borns, and of senior dogs. Please feel free to message me with any more specialist needs your pet may have :) I enjoy walking and spending time outdoor and it would be lovely to have a furry friend to come with me. I have an elderly pet dog at home who likes her own space, so will only be doing housesitting, drop ins and walks. Currently having a break after finishing vet school. Have some plans in summer which I would love to care for pets in between, so may be able to accommodate longer stays as well as short. Happy to meet prior to stays, to ensure I get on well with pets! I will stay with pets as much as is required for them and ensure lots of photos are taken to keep you updated on long stays.

A regular for us now no doubt ☺️”
“George had a great second time staying with Pui Yan. I received many videos and photos of George having a ball. Pui Yan even taught him a few new tricks (touch and paw) and gave him some puppy perfume. He slept like a log when he got back home!”

Communication was great and she made sure to have a full breakdown of Vinnies needs and preferences prior to our booking. Would definitely recommend Edwina to anyone in need of a dog sitter 😊”
“From the moment we met David and Angie at our initial meet and greet, I knew that Chester would feel right at home with them. They clearly have a love for dogs and really enjoy looking after them. Their communication was excellent from start to finish and I absolutely loved the fact they wanted to know every detail about Chester in order for him to be relaxed and comfortable and to stay as close to his normal routine as possible. I could tell when we picked him up that he had had a great time and I really appreciated the photos and updates we received. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with David and Angie again. Thank you!”

“Daniel looked after my two dogs while we were abroad, and I couldn’t be happier with the care they received. He was amazing with both of them, especially my senior dog, making sure all of her medication was given correctly and that she was comfortable and well looked after. I received daily updates and lots of photos, which gave me complete peace of mind and made it so much easier being away from them. It was clear that my dogs were happy, relaxed, and treated with genuine care and affection. I would highly recommend Daniel to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. I will definitely be asking him to look after my dogs every time we go abroad from now on. Thank you so much! for looking after Lizzie and Bella 💖🐶”
About: Your dog will be apart of our loving family with lots of cuddles, playtime, walks & treats (if aloud by owner) When we look after your beloved dog we will ensure their needs are put first. Unfortunately, we lost our bulldog Bonnie recently and this has given us the passion and desire to look after other peoples dogs. We always found this difficult and a challenge knowing who to trust with Bonnie and my goal is to help others feel at ease. We as a family have experience being around a variety of breeds including young & old dogs. I currently work full-time in the community, however I work from home majority of the working week. Also, if I am not home my mum is at home as she only works part-time. At the weekends everybody in the house is home. Your dog will not be on their own longer than a couple of hours at a time. I have a private secure back garden where dogs will have access to safely and securely. I will care for your dog as if they were my own. I am honest, trustworthy and have a genuine love & care for animals especially dogs!
About: I have experience caring for cats, as I own one myself. As for dogs, I have never owned one, but I volunteered at a dog shelter for a long time. Currently, I work at the hospital from Monday to Wednesday. From Thursday through Sunday—unless I have plans to travel out of town—I am fully available to look after your dog or cat. . I have a CAT of our own, but he won’t have access to your pet; firstly, he likely wouldn't want that, and secondly, he is an elderly fellow. I am also the mother of a fourteen-year-old boy who, just like me, loves animals. I have a very decent garden, well-secured against a pet potentially escaping or uninvited guests from neighboring yards.
