“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 💖🐶”

“Leah was absolutely fantastic with my girls! She kindly came over a couple of times beforehand to meet the girls and gain some comfort around the house which made me feel so much calmer for my first time using a cat sitter.

“It was my first time leaving Saylee(my cat) alone so I was understandably nervous especially as she’s very shy/cautious around people and don’t” trust” easily. However I had anything to worry about.Evie came to meet Saylee a few days before I left on holiday and she took to Evie immediately. Evie provided constant feedback and photos of Saylee whilst I was away which really eased my mind. I came back to a very well fed,well looked after and happy little cat. I will 100% use Evie again.”
“Excellent service, communication was amazing, I received pics/vids of my cat throughout the day. You can tell she is a very nice person and truly loves animals. Thank you💕x”

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’ve been around dogs my whole life, and they’ve always been a huge part of mine. My family have had all sorts over the years, from spaniels and lurchers to poodles and everything in between! Now that I’ve moved out and can’t have a dog of my own just yet, I’m definitely missing having a four legged friend around. So, I’d love to fill that little dog shaped hole in my heart by looking after your pooches! 🐶 Whether it’s a long walk around the local area, a drop in visit while you’re out, or simply some much needed cuddles and playtime, I’ll make sure your dog gets plenty of attention, love and fuss while you’re away. I’m lucky enough to work for a company whose whole ethos is built around flexible working anytime, from anywhere. That means I can easily fit pet care around my schedule and be where I need to be for your pup. It’s the best of both worlds- for me and your furry friend! 😊 Whether I’m caring for pets in my own home or yours, I always tailor everything to suit your dog’s routine, needs and personality. I make sure they feel comfortable, safe and love. If that means long, energetic walks, playtime or a calm, quiet space to relax. I’ve learnt so much about reading dog behaviour and understanding what they need, from space and reassurance to stimulation and affection. I keep things consistent with how you do them at home, feeding times, walk routines, rules, and preferences- so your pet feels right at home.
About: I have over 15 years of personal experience caring for cats, from growing up with my family’s 12-year-old senior cat to co-owning a cat for 4 years. I truly understand feline behavior, boundaries, and how to make them feel safe. I've even successfully trained cats to walk on a leash and play treat-guessing games! I am a regular, trusted cat sitter for my friends' pets, and I recently completed a wonderful month-long boarding stay for a cat at my place. I live on my own in a large, quiet house with a big garden, making it a peaceful, stress-free environment for your pets. I have a lot of love to give and plenty of free time right now to focus entirely on your furry friends, whether they stay at my home or I visit yours. While cats are my specialty, I am also very open to hosting or visiting calm, friendly dogs to expand my care experience!
About: I’ve grown up with a wide variety of pets including dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, chickens, fish etc. and enjoy spending time with all animals. We currently have a cat called Murphy who is very independent and enjoys lots of time outdoors. We offer a loving home with plenty of social interaction for your dog. Care will be tailored to your individual pet and their specific needs and routines. (Licenced by Rushcliffe Borough Council for Home Boarding of Dogs AWL-0090) I’m a mum of 3 who is currently on maternity leave so I’m available pretty much every day. I enjoy walking and getting out in the fresh air so your dog will get plenty of exercise. I have a secure fenced off garden for lots of time outdoors. There are also plenty of parks nearby as well as our allotment. Happy for your pet to be part of our family during their stay with plenty of time for love, attention and play.

“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.”

“As a first-time puppy owner, I was very anxious about leaving Frankie for the day since it was his first time away from home.

I couldn’t recommend Laura highly enough—we’ll definitely be coming back!”

About: Me and my partner, Myles, are lifelong dog lovers and the designated dog sitters for all of our family and friends, now looking to open our home up to more dogs. After losing our senior rescue chihuahua last year, our house feels very empty without the pitter patter of paws following us around! We have many years of experience with a vast array of breeds and ages and I have also previously volunteered at a doggy daycare centre. We really do just love dogs of all sizes, shapes, temperaments and age and we would love to take care of yours! Please send me a message for more info about me or if you have any questions. I work from home on Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays and Myles works from home all week. We are free most evenings and weekends and available for long-term boarding We live in a semi detached house which your dog would have free roam of and a secure fenced off yard. We already have many dog beds and blankets for your dog to get comfy in, along with a few sofas and an armchair that they would be welcome to take a snooze on. Your dog will never be left alone in the house, we understand it may take time for some dogs to trust new people and we are experienced and knowledgeable on building up trust safely with new dogs. Your dog will never feel pressured by us, and in turn we hope this means you will trust us with your dogs too!
About: As a couple we love to have dogs in our lives and routines 🐶🐾 Bruno grew up with dogs being part of the family and, from a young age, was used to looking after them. I didn’t have the chance to have a dog of my own until a few years ago, mainly because my living arrangements were not ideal for pets. Over two years ago, when we bought our home, we started looking after dogs for friends and neighbours. We really enjoyed it and soon realised how much we wanted to have our own furry companion. So, six months in, we welcomed our little Faye into our family. Even then we continued looking after other dogs. It has been a lovely way for Faye to socialise, while also giving us the chance to meet more four-legged friends and their owners in our local community. We’ve looked after dogs with a wide range of personalities — from excited young pups who need plenty of attention, play, guidance and boundaries, to older dogs who prefer a quieter environment and a slower pace. We know that every dog is different, so we are committed to adapting to their usual routines and needs as much as we can. Most importantly, we want every dog staying with us to feel comfortable, safe, cared for and part of the family. I work from home and Bruno is currently home all day too, so your dog will not be left alone. As we also have our own dog, feeding, walks, playtime and cuddles are already a integral part of our day. We would start by introducing your dog to our home environment and giving them some time to feel comfortable and settled in. We’ll always keep their safety and wellbeing in mind and make sure they feel secure in their new environment. We understand that trusting your dog to someone can be difficult and feel like a big decision, especially for the first time. So we want to make sure we provide a calm, caring and safe environment for all dogs staying with us. To give you some peace of mind, we are happy to send updates 📸 as frequently as you’d like. We can agree on this together when making the booking. We only take dogs from one household at a time, to ensure they get all the care and attention they need, while also reducing the risk of dogs not getting along with each other, becoming anxious around unfamiliar dogs or having interactions forced upon them. As we are always home, your dog will never be left alone and will have plenty of company and attention. Because we have our own dog, Faye, we take introductions seriously. Faye is very friendly with all the dogs she comes into contact with, but we never expect two dogs to become best friends immediately. We allow them to meet calmly, give them time to get used to each other and always pay attention to their body language and comfort levels. We are also able to keep your dog and Faye separated within the house if they need some quiet or alone time. Our Home & Environment 🏠🌳 Our main living space is an open-plan living, dining and kitchen area leading to a fully enclosed garden. Providing it’s not raining or extremely cold, we tend to keep the door to the garden open so dogs can access the garden whenever they like. We also have at least three different parks within walking distance of the house, and a couple of others within a 5–10 minute drive.
About: Since moving out, I’ve really missed having my family dog around, so I love any opportunity to spend time with a new furry friend! Whether it’s walks, playtime, training, or plenty of cuddles, I’m always happy to give dogs the attention and care they deserve. I work from home most weekdays, which means your dog will have lots of company, supervision, and flexibility in their routine throughout the day. I grew up with dogs and have always been very comfortable understanding their different personalities, needs, and behaviours. I’ve looked after a wide range of breeds and sizes, from small dogs to very large breeds. At the moment I regularly care for a Cockapoo, a Staffordshire Bull Terrier, and even a Great Dane, so I’m confident handling dogs with very different temperaments and energy levels. I’m patient with puppies and young dogs who are still learning, and I’m happy to reinforce basic training, routines, and good habits. I’m also attentive and gentle with senior dogs who may need a slower pace, extra care, or medication. Above all, I’m responsible, calm, and genuinely love being around dogs. I’ll always treat your dog like they’re part of the family and make sure they feel safe, happy, and well looked after. My home feels far too quiet without a dog around! I currently work from home in a flexible role, allowing me to provide care and attention to pets during weekdays. I can schedule walks/playtime/drop ins during breaks and lunch. I am also available in evenings and at weekends. I provide safety for pets in their own homes by ensuring i have a clear understand of the pets needs and the owner’s instructions. I engage with the pet to build trust and strengthen my bond with them.
“Its so wonderful having a warm loving home for my darling Lulu to go to when I'm away with work. Odeta is so good with her; Lulu's always so happy to see Odeta when she arrives. Pictures and videos throughout the day assure me Lulu's walked, cuddled, fed, and gets lots of attention and play time. Odetas home will be for sure, a place for Lulu for a long time to come 🙏🥰”

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.

“Defo a FIVE stars for Yeru!!! She always spend overtime with the dog because she genuinely enjoyed spending time with dogs and cared for them. I got lots and lots of updates and photos from her and I could tell from the videos my dog was genuinely excited in her walks. It was a big reassurance for me from Yeru’s care when my regular dog walker is on holiday. I would defo recommend her to anyone who needs dog care and I look forwards to booking more sessions with her in the near future!!! Thank you Yeru for your commitment for our book sessions!!!”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have always loved caring for them. I have a dog of my own who lives with my parents, and I’ve been taking care of him since I was growing up, so I’m very comfortable with the responsibilities that come with looking after a dog. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I’m happy to follow their usual schedule and give them plenty of attention, care, and affection. I’m also comfortable staying in someone’s home and making sure both their dog and home are well looked after while they’re away. I’m reliable, responsible, and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs. My priority is making sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. 🐶❤️ As a university student, I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to caring for pets. My days can vary, but I’m able to work my routine around a dog’s needs, whether that’s morning walks, feeding, playtime, or simply keeping them company throughout the day. I really enjoy having dogs around, and I’m happy to give them plenty of attention and make sure they get the exercise, care, and companionship they’re used to. My flexible university schedule also means I can be available during the day and adapt to different routines and requirements. 🐶🐾 I always want pets to feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed while they’re in my care. I take the time to understand their usual routine, personality, and any specific needs before looking after them. I’m responsible and respectful of both the pet and their home. I make sure doors and gates are secure, keep an eye on pets when they’re outside, and follow their feeding, walking, and medication routines if needed. I also keep their environment clean and tidy. Most importantly, I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and plenty of attention. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I’ll always do my best to give them the same care and love I would want for my own dog. 🐶❤️

Now that I’ve moved out and can’t have a dog of my own just yet, I’m definitely missing having a four legged friend around. So, I’d love to fill that little dog shaped hole in my heart by looking after your pooches! 🐶 Whether it’s a long walk around the local area, a drop in visit while you’re out, or simply some much needed cuddles and playtime, I’ll make sure your dog gets plenty of attention, love and fuss while you’re away. I’m lucky enough to work for a company whose whole ethos is built around flexible working anytime, from anywhere. That means I can easily fit pet care around my schedule and be where I need to be for your pup. It’s the best of both worlds- for me and your furry friend! 😊 Whether I’m caring for pets in my own home or yours, I always tailor everything to suit your dog’s routine, needs and personality. I make sure they feel comfortable, safe and love. If that means long, energetic walks, playtime or a calm, quiet space to relax. I’ve learnt so much about reading dog behaviour and understanding what they need, from space and reassurance to stimulation and affection. I keep things consistent with how you do them at home, feeding times, walk routines, rules, and preferences- so your pet feels right at home.
About: Iv taken care of my neighbours dogs since I was 13 and have been doing so ever since then. Also taken care of family friends dogs. I’m currently working part time at a restaurant on the weekends so on weekdays I can come over and look after your pets if needed. I have a fenced garden that is huge and has lots of grass. I have Dog bowls for their food and water. Also have a wide array of dog toys.
About: I used to walk my neighbours dog 2 times a week and would occasionally dog sit too. I was even involved in the training process with a proper trainer when this dog was still quite young, so I have experience in dog training. Especially to stop them pulling on the lead, which is the issue my neighbours had with their dog specifically. I thoroughly enjoyed all aspects of walking, training and dog sitting and would love to have something similar to do here. I am free everyday apart from Monday. I can even do Monday evenings if needed. My schedule is very flexible and I can do my uni work anytime. I would always keep a dog on a short lead when walking on pavements/around roads and only let them on a long lead when in the safety of a large grassy area/park. I would also play with your dog and keep them company.
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: As an avid dog loved, and having had dogs all my life, I understand the importance of finding someone trustworthy and caring to look after your furry friends. I have extensive experience in caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes. My approach to dog sitting is rooted in compassion and understanding, ensuring your pup feels safe, loved and engaged whilst you’re away. I currently work from home 5 days a week and love going on walks, so looking after your furry friends does not impact my routine. I have a fenced back garden, and no current dogs of my own so your dog will have my undivided attention and will be safe at all times.
About: I’ve been an animal lover right from the start but have always been drawn to looking after dogs specifically! I have a dog myself, she is 11 years old and i don’t remember a life without her, she’s truly my best friend. Therefore i have experience looking after dogs from puppies all the way to senior dogs. I’ve always loved caring for her aswell as my neighbors and friends dogs! I’m currently working part-time on weekends so i have plenty of time during the week to give your pooches plenty of attention! I’m available for boarding monday to thursday nights and monday to thursday daytimes, however i’m able to shift around my schedule sometimes if this doesn’t quite work for you so drop me a message! I have a big, fully fenced garden and 1 eleven year old cocapoo who’s so lovely and would happily keep your dog company! However, i’m always happy to do what makes you feel most comfortable including crating.
About: I’ve taken care of puppies, as well as 4 dogs. I’ve also done multiple dog walking and dog sitting jobs over the years. I also have years experience taking care of cats, fish, rabbits and hamsters. I’m generally available mornings, afternoons, and evenings by arrangement, and I’m happy to discuss your pet’s individual needs to make sure they receive the best possible care. During home visits, I can stay for 30 minutes, 1 hour, or overnight, depending on your pet’s needs. Visits include feeding, providing fresh water, cleaning litter trays or small pet cages, letting dogs out for toilet breaks and walks, playtime, companionship, and plenty of attention. I’ll ensure your home is kept tidy and secure and keep your pets’ routine as consistent as possible. I can also administer basic oral medications if required, collect mail, water plants, and take out the bins while you’re away.
About: I have years of experience looking after pets, I grew up around cats and dogs and even looked after a family friends tortoise when they went on holiday. Nowadays I have my own cat and dog who I love and take care of every aspect of their lives, from playtime, walkies, litter trays, feeding, and administering medication. I also have experience working on a farm and assisting with looking after the farmyard animals and am attuned to their unique needs and feeding schedules. I am currently studying at university full time so I have plenty of free time to help with walks or check-ins. I keep my calendar up to date and on my days off and weekends I am flexible I take your guidelines very seriously and your pets safety is my priority. I will ensure that your dog is kept on the lead at all times and maintain good road safety. I make sure to keep them away from other dogs. I will ensure there are no escape routes from the garden when letting your cat/dog outside and that the house is secure so they cannot get into rooms they shouldn’t have access to. I keep your pets in my sight at all times and can provide updates for you.
“Malaya- Skye is new to Rover and truly a rare undiscovered talent, she has a fantastic grasp of both canine training principles and execution, is flexible and willing to heed instruction(s). If you are seeking a dog walker whom has the ability and skill to either introduce, or build upon core training for and upon behalf of your furry friends, then look no further than Malaya-Skye. She and my little Cadbury have built a fantastic relationship thus far, and I know that he is in safe hands during walks. I was impressed by the fact that for each of our four scheduled walks Malaya came with a loose training plan, led by the needs of the dog, asked about reactivity and allergies ahead of time, arrived with treats and thereafter asked me if Cadbury perhaps had any toys that she could utilise during their walks together. Cadbury and I fully endorse Malaya- Skye. Woofs and wagging tails. :)”
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.

“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 💖🐶”

I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who truly treats your pets like their own!”

“Bethany and Jonny have been absolutely amazing with our staffy Alfie! We received so many pictures and reassurance messages throughout his 3 night stay, and if I messaged to see how he was doing we received a super quick response. They have been so good with him and Alfie looks so happy and settled in all of the photos, which is so lovely to see! Would absolutely recommend to anyone who needs a dog sitter, and will definitely book these guys again in the future. Thank you so so much!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, so caring for animals has always been a huge part of my day-to-day life. I currently have a young greyhound puppy of my own, which has given me plenty of recent hands-on experience with puppy care, including toilet training, lead walking, building confidence, establishing routines and positive reinforcement. My family dog is now a senior, so I also have experience caring for older dogs and understand that they can require a gentler pace, extra patience and care tailored to their individual needs. I’m also a cat owner to my 3-year-old cat, Spot, who I’ve had since he was a kitten. This has given me experience with both kitten and adult cat care, so I’m very comfortable looking after both dogs and cats. Having pets of my own means I completely understand how important it is to trust the person caring for them. I’m patient, reliable and attentive, and I’ll always treat someone else’s pet as I would my own. I’m happy to follow their usual routines, accommodate individual needs and make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection and reassurance while in my care. Pet care already plays a big part in my everyday routine as I have pets of my own, so fitting walks, drop-ins and pet sitting into my week comes very naturally. I’m organised and flexible with my time and will always make sure I have plenty of time for each pet, rather than rushing visits. I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual feeding, walking and toilet routine wherever possible, as I know how important consistency can be for keeping them happy and settled. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my priority. When caring for pets in their own home, I’ll follow your instructions closely and respect their existing routine, environment and boundaries. I’ll take the time to get to know their personality and allow nervous or shy pets to approach me at their own pace. On walks, I’ll keep dogs securely on lead unless specifically agreed otherwise and pay close attention to their behaviour, surroundings and interactions with other dogs. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy and receiving plenty of attention and affection while they’re with me. 🐾
“Rachel was absolutely amazing! Her gentle nature with Rufus made it obvious that she treats your pets like her own family members. She shared plenty of photos and videos and is a great communicator. I would definitely recommend her, and we will absolutely be back. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of Rufus he had a great time! x”

“Rachel looked after Bella for a week for us. Bella was unsettled at first but with Rachel’s care she soon settled. Rachel sent photos and updates almost every day and was very responsive when we contacted her to check on Bella. Bella had some lovely walks over the bank holiday weekend. I would definitely recommend Rachel. Thanks for taking such good care of Bella.”
