“My anxious dog, Annabelle had her first stay with Millie and I couldn’t have wished for a better place for her to stay. Millie answered queries very quickly before the visit, and kept me up to date with photos and videos during the visit. It really felt like a home from home for Annabelle. We are looking forward to her second visit in March. Would highly recommend Millie.”
“I picked up our Boston Terrier, Edie, today after an overnight stay with Simon, and it was another very positive experience. Once again, I found him to be highly responsible, professional, and kind. He was eager to learn about Edie's habits, likes, and dislikes, and nothing seemed to be too much trouble. I provided a list of her commands, routine, and little quirks, but I felt that even if I had forgotten something, he would easily handle whatever came up. Simon was also incredibly helpful when I accidentally left a couple of Edie's things behind, generously offering some of his own for her to use. When I collected Edie, she was bright and happy, and they had just been outside playing in the garden together. Additionally, his house and neighbourhood are very safe environments. I didn't worry about her getting into trouble inside because his home is so organised and tidy. The neighbourhood has plenty of green space for walks and feels like a close-knit community. I have already booked Edie in for another overnight stay with Simon. I expect it will go just as well, and I know Edie will be happy to see him again!”
“Probably the best home care available. Ann gets to know your dogs full routine and needs, then adheres to it. She clearly cares about providing excellent care for the dogs she takes in and looks after them extremely well, whilst keeping you informed on a daily basis of how they are settling and getting on. Going forward should I need my dog boarded, Ann will be 1st choice.”
“Laurie is a superb dog sitter. She's got the perfect house for it and she asked all the important questions about my dog, which showed that she is clearly experienced with dogs and really cares about them. I'd 100% recommend her and will use her again next time I'm in the area. Thanks Laurie!”
“Liga was great once again, taking perfect care of our little pup (big pup now!). Marley is such a gentle giant with her too. Would highly recommend and Hunny will come and stay again ❤️”
“This was our first time using a dog sitter, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience! From the start, communication was great, and we got daily updates with pictures and videos of him playing with the other dogs — that put us at ease knowing he was enjoying himself. He came home happy, tired, and clearly well cared for. We’ll definitely be booking again!”
“Margot our Vizsla had a fabulous stay with Cat. She came back having had lots of lovely walks and had obviously enjoyed herself. Cat was fabulous at keeping us informed of how Margot was getting on - with text and pix too. Would thoroughly recommend Cat for dog boarding.”
“Jakub and family always make our dog feel at home. They've looked after our dog 4 or 5 times now and communication & updates are always good. We trust them to care well for our dog. Thanks!”
“Andrew and his partner Fran took great care of my bull terrier Ed. Fran always kept me updated with pictures and messages on how Ed was doing. I felt at ease as soon as I dropped Ed off as he settled straight away. I chose Andrew due to his profile in dog training and bull terriers need to be in the best of hands due to their full on nature, you need to be firm with this breed! Ed cannot wait for his next stay with you!!”
“Rebecca was brilliant with Twiglet! Went above and beyond to ensure she was happy and well fed! Thank you for everything Rebecca! Also enjoyed seeing the pictures throughout of Twiglet playing with Rebecca's dog!”
“Paige is fab! Betty had a great stay with her, exploring lots of new things and I felt really at ease knowing she was being looked after by someone who has so much love and care for animals. Communication was great, lots of photos/videos. Would definitely recommend.”

About: I have had cats for as long as I can remember, growing up with them from a very young age. Over the years, I’ve developed a deep understanding of their behaviour, personalities, and individual needs. Currently, I have three cats of my own and two dogs, so caring for multiple cats and managing different temperaments is something I’m very comfortable with. I absolutely love cats—honestly, I’m a bit obsessed. I enjoy spending time with them, whether that’s playing with energetic kittens or giving gentle attention to older, more relaxed cats. I’m experienced with cats at all stages of life, from young, playful kittens to senior cats who may need a quieter, more attentive approach. I’m committed to providing a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment for any cat in my care. I understand that every cat is different, and I’m more than happy to accommodate their individual routines, preferences, and needs—whether that means sticking to specific feeding schedules, administering basic care, or simply giving them the space or affection they require to feel at ease.

“Angie was absolutely amazing with our cat Chandler. From the very first visit, it was clear she genuinely cares and takes her responsibility seriously. She kept us updated during every drop-in with messages and photos, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Chandler was clearly comfortable and well looked after, and we couldn’t have asked for better care. We would 100% book Angie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and thoughtful sitter.”

About: I’ve been taking care of pups & dogs for the past 12 years. I enjoy taking them for a walk and just spending as much time as I can, it’s simply therapeutic for me! I first started pet sitting back when I was a student, mostly because I missed my own dog back home and loved any excuse to spend time with furry friends. Over the years, it’s become more than just a way to fill that gap. It’s something I truly enjoy. Now that I work from home, I have the flexibility to give pets the time, attention, and care they deserve. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I’d love to help make your life easier and keep your pets happy while you’re away! 🐾 Happy to do drop-ins or stay at your home. I also offer boarding (spacious garden) for pets who are comfortable with their own routine and downtime.
“Dilsathnisha was so kind and attentive to my two cats during the week. She sent lovely updates and was responsive with messages too. I felt relaxed and comfortable leaving my cats with her and would definitely book again!”
About: I am currently looking after a dog for a friend on a weekly basis, often going to the park, looking after him overnight, and sometimes day trips. I have raised my family dog since he was a puppy, so am fully aware of what that entails. When I go back home, I walk and take care of him. I live with my boyfriend who has had cats in the past, so I am used to having them in the house and how to take care of them. With this, I have lots of experience of walking, feeding, bathing, and keeping pets happy! I'm currently working from home full-time, so can look after pets at any time! My hours are also very flexible so I'm able to go for walks during my working day. I live in a flat, with a secure back garden that is fenced in. The front door to the flat block is always kept locked. I am happy to do whatever is needed to keep your pet safe and happy!
About: I’ve been involved with animals ever since I can remember! From owning 3 horses and 2 beloved rescue dogs! I know how to adapt and change to each animal understanding not all of them are the same. I am also a qualified nurse so from my animal experience and nursing experience I’ve learnt how to communicate with both owner and animal. I work as an nurse as hoc and have enjoyed taking a break from the hospital!! And I have a wide range of availability and will most likely be free! I can communicate effectively with you the owner to understand where your pet is allowed. From owning two rescue dogs I’m also aware of certain dogs being afraid or aggressive to other dogs so I would walk on other side of the path to keep dogs away. I have had a huge experience around poorly pets- My current rescue has to have regular medication including injections and eye drops, I have also had experience with strokes amongst dogs and post operative care. My being a vet has enabled me to pick up critical information for dealing with emergency’s and the general health and well being of animals. I am also aware that dogs love company and like other dogs so I’m suited to all pet needs. I also give great cuddles and I seem to have a good track record with pets and they seem to always want more! I have plenty of time to play with your pups or cats due to being a newly graduate from university. I am available weekdays, weekends and all times of the day. I will ensure your dog remains in eye contact to make sure there’s no escapes. My sister is a qualified vet and my experience and knowledge of emergency care has grown from her. I will have your vets contact number in my phone before any visit/sitting.

I currently own a retired working dog, called Rocco, a 6 year old LabX and a Belgian Malinois, Arya, who is a year old. My dogs are very well behaved and tolerant of all temperaments. They are a playful, high-energy bunch however will respect a dogs space if they are more timid.

About: I’ve had experience with a variety of dogs throughout childhood, but have raised labradors from puppies in my adult life.

Please feel free to get in touch, even if just for a chat! My long term plans involve completing my studies to become a mental health practitioner, so I have a lot of home availability and wanted to fill my time with something that I’m really passionate about. I have a fenced garden, security cameras and a friendly Labrador to keep your dog company and entertained! I’m always attentive to making sure Toby is fed, has access to water bowls, and acknowledging communication and signals for their biological needs and play schedules! Very happy to do a meet and greet to see how you, and perhaps most importantly, your dog feels in our environment!
“Carl and Clare went above and beyond to have Henry at short notice during a family emergency. I was reassured the minute I met them - the very definition of 'dog people'! Very thorough pre brief and kept me updated with photos on the day. They took away a lot of stress for me during a very stressful time. Henry had the time of his life with his new gang and slept so long I had to wake him up for his breakfast the next day (unheard of!)”

“Cordelia has looked after our dog Dino since his first overnight stay at 16 weeks old. I was quite nervous to leave him when he was so young, but I had no need to worry. We had a meet and greet with Cordelia and her dogs ahead of Dino’s stay and I felt confident that he was in safe hands. I received messages and photos throughout his stay and he had the best time! Since then, Dino has had many day visits with Cordelia and I would highly recommend her to all. Dino always has the most wonderful time and I can see it does him a lot of good to have a proper dog day with his pals!”

If I’m walking a dog from your home, I’ll always research the local area to find the best walks and love nothing more than discovering new paths with a four-legged fur baby for company!
“Liga is caring and welcoming, she took the time to find out about my dog's needs and was very accommodating. The house is lovely with a large garden, so a great environment for dogs :)”
“Cora had a great day with Ingrid. Ingrid was very welcoming and Cora took an instant shine to her and I picked up a very happy and content dog at the end of the day. She was responsive over message before and during Cora's stay. I would highly recommend Ingrid - thank you so much!”

About: With a lifetime of experience caring for all manner of animals, I provide home-from-home care tailored to each pet's unique needs. I’m skilled in administering medication and always treat any pets in my care as if they were my own. I will always follow your pets’ routines in your absence, in order help them feel safe and secure. I’m accustomed to caring for animals of all ages; from the very young to the more senior, I love them all and their gorgeous unique personalities. I thoroughly enjoy making connections with my furry friends and their owners alike. I have many returning clients and go above and beyond to ensure both your pets and you are completely satisfied with all the services I provide. I have received many five star wonderful reviews from pet owners over the years. One of my greatest pleasures is walking in nature with the dogs in my care; whether it’s a woodland adventure or a splash by the water, I offer diverse walks for your fur babies to enjoy, that include opportunities for socialisation with other dogs and humans. I am home full time as I have an online tutoring business working with students around the world. This enables me to be very focused on the animals in my care throughout the day as my lessons are spread out across the working week. My home is ideally set up to care for your fur babies. I have a large enclosed garden perfect for your fur babies to run around in; they have full access to the garden as they desire as my back door is rarely closed. I have crates, should your pet need crating or you may of course provide your own. I adhere strictly to any special requirements you have regarding the care of your pet. I also have my own private walking field where all dogs are safe to run freely.
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs and have always been a big animal lover. I always am first to volunteer to look after family & friends dogs - I have a lot of love to give! I understand the importance of consistency, patience, and positive reinforcement, which I use to help dogs feel comfortable and cared for. Whether it’s energetic puppies who need structure or older dogs who need gentler care, I know how to adapt to their needs. Having raised two dogs of my own with my parents, I treat every pup as if they’re family ◡̈ Right now, I do work a 8.30-5 Mon-Fri job, however I can give your pets plenty of time and attention when I am not working whether that be in the evenings or at weekends.

“Justin was excellent with Vinny. Vinny really took to him on their meet and greet. This is a great app with photos and updates of the walks. I wouldn't hesitate to use Justin again.”
“Today Oscar visited us again, my dogs recognised him immediately and were very happy of seeing him again. This time after walking my 2 boxers together he also helped me to teach them how to use a special stair for the car boot which I have recently purchased. I can tell that the whole experience was very positive. I learn a lot from Oscar every time on how to interact with my dogs, how to create an easy going environment for the future. Visibly he has a wealth of knowledge on training dogs and control them with kindness, calmness and good energy.”
About: Save £30 on your first booking with my promo code ZOEC43917! Just enter it at checkout to claim your discount. I have experience looking after dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities, from energetic puppies to senior pets and those who are a little more nervous. My priority is making sure every pet feels safe, relaxed, and comfortable in their own environment while sticking as closely as possible to their usual routine. I take the time to get to know each pet and their individual needs, whether that’s taking things a little slower on walks, keeping to a structured routine, or giving extra care and patience to older or more anxious pets. Occasionally, my partner will join me during a house sit to keep me (and the pets!) company. If that isn’t something you’re comfortable with, or you think it wouldn’t suit your pet, just let me know beforehand and I’m more than happy to work around it. While you’re away, I’ll keep you updated with regular photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pets are happy and well looked after. I always make sure they get plenty of attention, companionship, exercise, and affection, so they feel settled until you’re home again. I’m reliable, punctual, and genuinely love caring for animals. I’ll always treat your pets and your home with the same care and respect as if they were my own. I am currently working and studying from home so I am available for all pet needs and services. Caring for pets is already apart of my daily routine having many pets myself. I’m able to care for pets both in my own home and in the pet owner’s home, depending on what is most comfortable for the pet and preferred by the owner. When caring for pets in the owner’s home, I aim to keep their routine as normal as possible. This includes feeding, fresh water, litter tray cleaning, playtime, and any specific instructions such as medication. I also make sure the home is left clean and secure, and I provide regular updates with photos so the owner has peace of mind. When caring for pets in my own home, I provide a safe, calm, and pet-friendly environment. I ensure they have a comfortable space, follow their usual feeding routine, and give them plenty of attention, exercise, and supervision. I treat every pet as if they were my own and make sure they feel relaxed and cared for during their stay. In both cases, my priority is always the pet’s wellbeing, comfort, and safety.
About: I'M BACK! After taking 6 months off to breed and train my next generation of Rhodesian Ridgebacks, I am happy to say that I am available again! I own two dogs, one cat and two horses, some of whom you can see on my profile! I would definitely say that I am an animal person haha! Over the years, I have learnt dog training skills such as how to remedy a dog who pulls on the lead or jumps up. I am experienced in administering medication for both dogs and cats and can even bathe them for you if needed! I am more than happy to do drop-ins for cats to feed and top up their water when needed if you don’t need me to stay over night! If you have any other small pets, I'm more than happy and experienced in looking after them for you whilst you're away (I grew up with mice, rabbits and Giant African Snails)! If you have horses, there is no need to put them into livery either, as I can look after them too when you go away! A bit about myself: I work from home which fits in great with dog sitting, as all I have to do is remember to bring my laptop with me! Don't worry, your pets will get plenty of exercise, socialisation and of course lots of love and care with me! Working from home means I am able to be around your pets all day, as long as I remember to bring my laptop with me! Our home has a fully secure terraced garden with 6ft+ old stone walls, so there is no escaping! We have many wonderful walks on our doorstep and our house location is quiet and safe. We take the dogs on secure, off-road country walks, and especially enjoy going for walks in the woods!

My experience includes caring for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and needs, as well as hands-on work in dog shelters in Mexico and Australia. Confident in handling multiple dogs, maintaining routines, and ensuring each animal receives attentive, individual care. Working full-time ( mon- fri) with a remote job, the job is not very demanding and doesn’t need me at my desk the whole time so in between tasks I can play around and let them out for a potty break. I care for pets in the owner’s home by maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible, keeping feeding times, walks, play, and rest consistent to reduce stress. I make sure they feel comfortable in their own environment by giving them attention, exercise, and mental stimulation suited to their personality and energy levels. I keep the home clean and organised, follow any specific instructions closely, and monitor their health and behaviour throughout. I also provide regular updates so owners feel confident their pet is safe, settled, and well cared for in their absence.
About: I love dogs and have cared for many over the years, including 4 lovely rescue dogs. I have also owned 5 dogs in my lifetime having lived in different countries and am able to look after all ages including adults and puppies. Good with medicines or any other routine they have, walking, grooming, cuddles, tricks and making your dog feel comfortable and relaxed during their stay. I love playing games with them and make sure they have fun. I learn from each dog and enjoy walking and taking care of them, I am an active person so it compliments my lifestyle. I have a two story house perfect and a garden for your dog to run around in, with beautiful grassy areas around to take them on walks- as many as you request. I have experience in training dogs of all ages, including puppies and also seniors and aim to make your dog feel as at home, comfortable and happy as possible during their stay and walks. I work from home part time with alot of breaks, so your dog will always be entertained, supervised and well cared for. I am an active person and can go for 2- 3 walks per day so your little one will get lots of exercise, kindness, fun and attention. I have a two story house that your dog can happily run around and play in, with a private courtyard garden area at the back. There are also many grassy areas and walks for your dog to play in and get some exercise.
About: I have experience working with dogs of all ages and needs from raising my own puppy to caring for our elderly family dog. I’m passionate about animals and believe they deserve the same level of care and attention as any family member. I work from home with a highly flexible schedule, which allows me to provide consistent care and companionship for your pet, whether that’s in your home or mine. My property includes a secure, fenced garden and I have one friendly dog who loves company. I offer a safe and loving environment, with plenty of space to accommodate your dog’s needs. I’m happy to follow any specific instructions regarding exercise routines, training methods, or feeding plans to ensure your pet feels comfortable and well looked after. Schedule – Fitting Pet Care Into My Routine Caring for pets is naturally woven into my daily routine. From morning walks to regular feeding, playtime, and cuddles, I make sure dogs in my care receive consistent attention, exercise, and affection throughout the day. I structure my schedule to allow plenty of time for one-on-one interaction, whether it’s a quick pop-in visit or a full day of care. Week to week, I plan around each dog’s individual needs, maintaining routines that keep them happy, healthy, and comfortable just like they would be at home. Safety, Trust & Environment – Caring for Pets Whether working from my own home or visiting a client’s, the safety and well-being of pets is always a priority. I understand that pets are beloved members of the family, and I take great care to ensure they feel safe and comfortable during appointments. In my home, I maintain a calm, clean, and secure environment, keeping treatment areas free from hazards and pet-safe at all times. If I’m visiting a pet owner’s home, I respect their space and routines—avoiding any products or practices that could be harmful or disruptive to animals. I’m always happy to discuss any specific needs your pets may have so we can create a relaxing and worry-free experience for everyone involved.
About: Hi, my name is Sim, I'm 25 years old, I work full time but on shifts so I have a range of availability based upon my shift patterns. I've got experience in sitting and walking different breeds, and I'm a big breed lover having my own 3 at home! (3 German shepherds!) Currently I do occasionally dog sit for friends and family, typically their dogs stay over with my 3 dogs who love having friends over! So what sets me apart from other walkers and sitters? Well, I love dogs, I've had 5 years of experience (on and off), all my dogs have been adopted and rehomed - so I've worked with a variety of different dogs with different needs. Recently fostering a dog for 3 months and got her trained up before she went to her new home which she's succeeding in! I own a car so I'm happy to travel. And with your permission if you leave your dog with me over night or for a few days, I can take them to locations such as the Peak District to get some quality time in, otherwise to the local parks and nature reserves. 😁 I do have a really big garden which is fenced off. If we require use of a create then we can encourage that with your dog, we just request to provide a bed or item that your dog is currently familiar with to keep in the crate if crate time is required, we want to keep the environment as familiar as possible to help reduce anxiety. My house has multiple cameras situated throughout the property, inside and outside for peace of mind. I work full time but I work different shifts weekly but I know what I'm working well in advance, and I have my partner to lend a hand. Large garden fenced off, cameras around the house and the outside the house so we have eyes on the property at all times. But someone will always be home.
About: 10 years of military dog training, animal first aid trained. Animal welfare consultant for several charities and public services, Puppy trainer and novice gun dog trainer I have spent most of my adult life working with animals mainly dogs, but have experience with cats and scary birds, it’s a passion for me Generally Entering into an Animals house for the first time is challenging for the Animal, by letting the animal come to you allows for the Animal To build trust
About: I grew up with cats and dogs. My family was in the pet industry, and I’ve been around animals my whole life. I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I plan my day around feeding, walks, playtime, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable. Ilove them like you I care for pets with patience, attention, and respect. I always follow the owner’s instructions, maintain a calm environment, prioritize safety, and make sure pets feel comfortable, secure, and loved.
About: Extensive and secure garden, full access to the house. Great countryside walks in all directions! I spend all day everyday caring for animals and believe in attention to detail and a lot of fun ☺️ I grew up around animals, and am very proficient in animal care. Walks in the countryside every morning and evening to suit dog's needs. We have great access to rivers, forests and beautiful hills. I study part time and have a lot of free time to devote to caring for lovely dogs! I have a large wall garden (photographed) with electric gates. Very secure. Dogs have access to the whole house and access to the garden at all times. Smaller dogs or dogs with different preferences can do less and have constant supervision. Over the past few years I have fostered dogs, had hound puppies in for summer training, cared for elderly and disabled dogs; as well as full time care of my lovely collie.
“Harleen’s lovely and so sweet with our baby boy. Winter loved her and had a great time during their walk that when they came home, he didn’t want her to leave yet so they could play inside some more. 🥰 Thanks, Harleen! Winter’s looking forward to spending time with you again.”
About: I have cat sitted several times over the last few years for other owners and thoroughly enjoy it! I have also dog sitted and walked dogs of all sizes. I offer services from dog and also cat boarding to drop in visits/house sitting and dog walking. I have a family pet cat who I adore so much! I adopted Milo since he was 10 weeks old and he always makes me smile everyday. (He does live with my family) if I were to look after your cat or dog I could either attend to them where they live or to my flat (where I live alone with no pets) I enjoy being around cats and although I have not had dogs as a pet before, I have been around friends who do have some. I think having pets always cheers people up as they’re full of life. I groom my cat, bathe him, comb his hair, clean his food tray, litter and also feed him twice daily. I have dog and cat sitted before so have experience doing both. Please get in touch and feel free to ask any questions! Thank you I am on here to look after cute pets that need taking care of and would be more than happy to help out the owner. I would describe myself as someone who is caring and outgoing. I currently reside in Leicester near Glenfield and they’re are a lot of nice parks nearby for the doggies (also me). I would also be interested in house sitting, cat or dog sitting, day care and also walking. Can take last minute bookings and if needed my services for a longer period of time more than a week, I could negotiate the rate. Currently working for the NHS but over the holiday Christmas period I’m available to sit. I could work around my schedule. I genuinely love pets and it’s nice to unwind to have a little play time and to care for them. I have a family cat that if full of energy, loves going out to play in the garden! Everyday is a routine when looking after Milo and first thing making sure his food bowl is cleaned and he is fed.. grooming everyday as his hair sheds a lot. Days consist of lots of cuddles and neck scratches and making sure he is well looked after.
About: Hi! I'm Sarah and I've been sitting for over 10 years, no pets or children, I drive and ideally looking for house sits. I would be home full time. I have an Enhanced DBS certificate (highest clearance) on the DBS Update Service and am sitter insured. Pet/house sat all over. Grew up with dogs, cats, fish, hamsters and turtles (not all at the same time!). Happy to meet beforehand to see how we gel. That's about it really. Any questions, feel free to ask. Happy hunting! When I am looking after your pets, I am not working so my focus is completely on your pets and your homes. Look forward to meeting you 😁 I do not have any pets so there are no issues if you're pets are a bit shy or want all the attention for themselves!

“I picked up our Boston Terrier, Edie, today after an overnight stay with Simon, and it was another very positive experience. Once again, I found him to be highly responsible, professional, and kind. He was eager to learn about Edie's habits, likes, and dislikes, and nothing seemed to be too much trouble. I provided a list of her commands, routine, and little quirks, but I felt that even if I had forgotten something, he would easily handle whatever came up. Simon was also incredibly helpful when I accidentally left a couple of Edie's things behind, generously offering some of his own for her to use. When I collected Edie, she was bright and happy, and they had just been outside playing in the garden together. Additionally, his house and neighbourhood are very safe environments. I didn't worry about her getting into trouble inside because his home is so organised and tidy. The neighbourhood has plenty of green space for walks and feels like a close-knit community. I have already booked Edie in for another overnight stay with Simon. I expect it will go just as well, and I know Edie will be happy to see him again!”
“Liga was great once again, taking perfect care of our little pup (big pup now!). Marley is such a gentle giant with her too. Would highly recommend and Hunny will come and stay again ❤️”
“Margot our Vizsla had a fabulous stay with Cat. She came back having had lots of lovely walks and had obviously enjoyed herself. Cat was fabulous at keeping us informed of how Margot was getting on - with text and pix too. Would thoroughly recommend Cat for dog boarding.”
“Andrew and his partner Fran took great care of my bull terrier Ed. Fran always kept me updated with pictures and messages on how Ed was doing. I felt at ease as soon as I dropped Ed off as he settled straight away. I chose Andrew due to his profile in dog training and bull terriers need to be in the best of hands due to their full on nature, you need to be firm with this breed! Ed cannot wait for his next stay with you!!”
“Rebecca was brilliant with Twiglet! Went above and beyond to ensure she was happy and well fed! Thank you for everything Rebecca! Also enjoyed seeing the pictures throughout of Twiglet playing with Rebecca's dog!”
“Paige is fab! Betty had a great stay with her, exploring lots of new things and I felt really at ease knowing she was being looked after by someone who has so much love and care for animals. Communication was great, lots of photos/videos. Would definitely recommend.”
About: I am a registered veterinary nurse with 6 years of experience, including 4 years serving as a veterinary nurse in the army. During this time, I worked with a wide range of dogs, including large and high-energy working dogs, giving me strong handling skills and confidence in different environments. I have experience administering medication and providing care at all stages of a dog’s life—from young puppies through to senior dogs with more complex needs. I am also trained in canine first aid, so your dog’s health and safety are always a top priority while in my care. I’m available for boarding, please contact for availability. Your pet will never be left for more than a couple of hours, so your pet will have plenty of attention and care Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I have a fully secure garden with a 6ft fence, providing a safe outdoor space for play and exercise. I also have two friendly dogs at home who are well-socialised. However, I understand that every pet is different, so I’m able to keep them separated if needed to ensure your pet feels relaxed and secure at all times. I aim to provide a calm, caring environment where your pet can feel at home while you’re away 🐾
“Laura was absolutely amazing. She kept us updated on how Stan was throughout the weekend and sent us pictures. Stan settled in extremely well and looked extremely comfortable. All I can say is thankyou Laura and that I highly recommended anyone using your services.”
“Piggle had an amazing stay at Kates, lots of updates , plenty of exercise and lots of love. She is an brilliant homeboarder , with lots of experience and I will book again. Thank you so much for all your help”
“Absolutely excellent dog-sitter. India was attentive, welcoming of my pups into her home and customer focused. Really super. Will definitely be using India’s services again! x”
“So looked after, great to get photos and updates of how he was getting on throughout his stay. Looked like he had the best time and came back super chilled and happy. Really grateful and will definitely be booking again in the future as needed.”
“Our 11 year old cockerpoo was unable to attend our wedding, and we needed a environment that gave her a home feel. This was definitely provided by Hilly, who made her feel very welcome. We recommend Hilly to anyone who needs their dog to be made to feel at home and cared for.”
“Steve and his family were delightful and gave Maimie a lovely ‘home from home’ stay. Steve couldn’t have been more helpful. He gave us confidence from the moment we met him and his lovely dog Laszlo. He was a great communicator and sent through lovely updates and pictures while we were away. Best of all he clearly loves and understands dogs. It’s so great to find someone who is clearly adored by his canine friends! Thanks Steve and family!”
“Indy was very well looked after and cared for during his stay. Cordelia took time to find out everything about Indy, his personality, likes and dislikes so we could feel at ease whilst we were away. He had lots of lovely walks and fun and we had regular updates and photos. I would definitely recommend Cordelia as a dog sitter and I’m sure we’ll leave Indy with her again. Thank you for taking such good care 🐾🐕”
“Many thanks for the great experience! Ayse is fantastic; Polly was very happy with the care and attention she received. Very friendly sitter and great communication, would highly recommend!”
“Mango had the best time and was well looked after. We received updates and pictures and if dogs could smile Mango certainly was! The setup is perfect for dogs with a secure fence and perfect for dog walks. It made us feel a little less guilty for having a night away without her. We could relax knowing she was in safe hands. Would definitely recommend and will be rebooking in the future if we are in the area.”
“Alice was amazing! We had never left our dog before and she gave me all the reassurance I needed. We did a pre visit which was lovely and Alice kept us up to date with as much information as we wanted. He came back looking super shiny in his coat and was fully worn out from playing outside. We could not be happier with the care Alice gave.”
“After dropping Latrell off I received regular updates and photos from Paige which really put my mind at ease and it was clear Latrell was happy and having lots of fun with her and her extremely cute cockapoos Malibu and Cleo. When I picked Latrell up he was relaxed and in no rush to leave which was great to see. I’m very grateful for the updates and attention Paige gave to Latrell throughout his stay. I will defiantly book again when I needs someone to look after him and I would highly recommend Paige to anyone looking for someone that they can trust to look after there dog like there own.”
“Shaun and his family looked after my dog so well - he had a wonderful time. They are very caring and they were very happy to walk and play with my dog. I am very grateful and I will certainly be calling on them again. Thank you!”
