“John & Teresa looked after our ‘giant teddy bear’ Calli for 8 nights in February while we went abroad. We had previously had a one night trial to ensure all went well. Leaving a dog is a big decision - but with John & Teresa, we knew all would be well as soon as we first met them. They are true dog lovers who ensured that Calli was well looked after and given long and varied walks to keep her happy. When it came time to collect Calli, it was very clear that she had made a special bond with John & Teresa and that was lovely to see. We have already booked another 8 night stay in April. Thanks John & Teresa for taking such good care of Calli-Bear.”
“Lauren was amazing at looking after Parsley, couldn’t have asked for anything more! We felt super comfortable the entire time knowing that parsley was having a really lovely time. It was so nice to get updates every day! Thank you again!!”
“It was our first time having a sitter for Spark and I felt really reassured when meeting Tarnya. She clearly has alot of experience with dogs and I knew that Spark would be well looked after. Thanks so much for looking after him, I'm sure he will be back soon!”
“Charlie stayed for a week and it was lovely to not worry about her. We knew she was being well looked after and had regular picture updates. She was clearly happy and felt right at home. It’s not the first time she has stayed with Jamie and it won’t be the last.”
“Leah was absolutely fantastic, Willow was super happy to stay. I was nervous about leaving her for the first time but Leah made me feel super confident! I was updated regularly and had photos too!”
“Granger loved her time with Manuela. She was such a happy pup when we fetched her. We got videos every day of all the activities she was up to. Thank you Manuela for loving our ‘fur baby’ while we were away ❤️”
“I recently used dog boarding service from Youngkyung, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! From the moment I dropped off my 8 month old Pearl, Youngkyung and her partner made us both feel completely at ease. They were warm, attentive, and genuinely cared about Pearl's comfort and happiness. Throughout the stay, I received regular updates—photos, videos, and quick messages—which gave me and my family total peace of mind. Pearl enjoyed plenty of playtime, socialisation, and affection, and I could tell she was being treated like family. I highly recommend Youngkyung to anyone looking for trustworthy, professional, and loving care for their dogs and cats. I’ll definitely be returning!”
“Aphrodite had a lovely weekend with Gary. She loves going to his place and really enjoys the company of the other dog who was staying too. Hopefully he won't be too busy when we need him next 👍👍👍”
About: I’ve taken care of a range of different dog breeds ranging from large to small. Some of these dogs have been nervous or reactive to other dogs as well as some with people. :) I am currently completing a PhD focusing on cancer research so I am fairly flexible during the week and available the majority of weekends. I would love to meet your doggies 😊 I have a 6 foot fenced garden all the way around expect for the neighbours which is about 3/4 foot. The garden is fairly big with space to play fetch.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs since I was 10 and have always been involved in caring for them. I’ve helped raise and train puppies, including feeding, walking, playtime, and teaching basic routines. As all of my family have dogs, I’m very comfortable around different breeds, sizes, and personalities, and I understand how important it is to give them patience, attention, and care. I currently work full time, but have Thursday and Sundays off with the chance of finishing the rest of the days at 15:30pm. From Thursday to Sunday I can board the dogs from 5pm. I have a large outdoor space at the back of my flat which is perfect for dogs to safely enjoy freedom, playtime, exercise, and relaxation. I will provide a calm, caring, and secure environment where pets feel comfortable and well looked after. We have space in the flat for a crate if this is what your dog needs.
“Donna was a great cat sitter for our boy while we went and visited family over Christmas. She made sure he always had food, played with him, gave him fusses and made sure he had company. He was so relaxed when we came back and it makes all the difference knowing he was okay while we were gone. She did an initial visit and took down so many details to make sure he was well catered for. Thank you so much for taking care of him!”
“Negin was amazing, being available last minute and giving Cardi much needed safety and love during a difficult few days for me and her! Easy to communicate, always kept me updated on how things were going and I could see how comfortable she was able to get Cardi to be. Totally recommended.”
“Ahmadou was perfect for my little Leo. Leo was walked theee times a day so plenty of exercise to stimulate him as he is very energetic. Leo made a friend with Bailey (dog) and deffo will be asking for more play dates in the future.”
“Coco was great with Flash, he was absolutely hyper when we arrived and she took it all in stride! She sent us photos and videos throughout the day and took really good care of him! She answered all our questions and acknowledged all of the care instructions etc, we couldn’t have asked for more 😊”
About: Since I’ve loved dogs all my life, I’ve read a lot about their behaviours in my spare time. We have one dog and look after other dogs including senior dogs of family, regularly. Both me and my partner Alex have had dogs since we were children. Experience with training dogs and puppies too. We have a large secure garden for roaming and sniffing. We love to go for morning and evening walks every day and there’s a great walking path close by, perfect for dog walks. On the weekends we tend to go to local parks for fresh air whatever the weather! If your dog needs a loving holiday home with a stable routine for a while, plus a very friendly happy well behaved dog and two children who adore dogs but give them space, then we would love to welcome your fur baby from your home to ours. Get in touch :) I work from home with opportunity to play, cuddle and look at your fur baby. I have dog called Jasper, who loves to have friends over so will keep your dog company. We love being at home and one of us is always around. A typical day would be a morning sniff and runaround the garden first thing, or walk and then breakfast. Around lunchtime is also treat time and a little play and fuss, 5pm we’re in the kitchen/garden, and it’s playtime before dinner for dogs as and when adjusted to their needs. Finishing the day with an after dinner walk and snuggles on the sofa. I have a large fenced garden to keep your dogs safe, with my dog loving company. I can happily crate your dog if needed. We have a few areas downstairs if dogs would like their own time/ sleep without being disturbed too.
“We had a pre-board meeting so our dogs could meet, so we could meet, and so my dog could meet Sylvia and it all went well. I received updates, some photographs, which is really valuable when you leave your pet with someone in my opinion, and is reassuring. When I picked him up he seemed happy and well. Pick up and drop offs were mutually agreed, with some leeway for traffic, so from my perspective this was really very successful and positive and I would be happy to repeat.”

“Laura is absolutely fabulous! She has watched Gidget and Dobby a couple times now, they absolutely love her. She gives them lots of attention and is so attentive to their care, never missing a feeding or a litter scoop. Highly recommend! ”
“I highly recommend Donna; first of all she is absolutely lovely, and she took great care of our kitties. We got photos and updated for every visit which we really appreciated and have already asked her to cat sit for us again :) ”
“Emma provided many pictures and updates on each visit with descriptions on how both my pets were getting on! With it being my first time using a pet sitter these updates were super helpful and stopped me from worrying about them both! Emma is super friendly and was prompt at replying whenever I messaged on how to deal with any worries/small problems! An added bonus of using Emma is that her daughter comes along with her so it means both pets got some play time too! Would definitely use her services again and recommend to friends and family :)!”
“Shani saved my holiday. I booked a cat sitter who was supposed to show up the day before I fly and never did. I found Shani and she came round the following day, could do everything I asked and send some amazing updates. Thank you for taking such good care of my cat!💜”
“Hiu Yee did drop in visits to my place to take care of my cats while I was away for 2 weeks. She was very flexible, open to communication and did a really great job ! I would definitely engage in her service again.”
“Laura was really amazing with my cat Phoenix. She looked after him exactly how I asked and I felt very reassured. She also sent me pictures of Phoenix everyday which made my travel much more stress free. I could tell she created a good rapport with Phoenix too, which made me really happy. I’m very pleased with her service and will definitely book her again soon.”
“I am definitely booking with Rebecca again when needed. She replied my messages super quick, explained all I needed. She was superb with Stormy, provided in details updates and sent me loads of pictures. Reliable, caring and professional. Definitely a cat expert :) super recommended!”
“Kerenza did a wonderful job looking after our two cats over the long weekend. She was tidy, consistent, and communicative. I felt throughout that our cats were in good hands! I will definitely try to book her again the next time we need a sitter!”
“Second time booking Rhiannon to keep an eye on my cats. They were both happy to see her and were both very relaxed on my return, making going away a bit less stressful. Would recommend :-)”
“Paulina has done a fantastic job looking after my cat whilst I was on holiday. I’ve received daily updates with images every day. This really put my mind at easy that my cat is in safe hands and well cared for. Thanks again!”
“Aliyah did exactly what we needed and kept us updated throughout, which meant we could relax on holiday knowing our cat was in good hands. We wouldn't hesitate to book Aliyah again.”
“Yi-Fan was absolutely lovely and provided a professional service in taking care of my beloved cat with daily updates. I was super impressed with how my Charles was at ease with them when they interacted (normally, she doesn't like strangers). This reassured me immensely for future bookings. Thanks, Yi-Fan!”
“Natalie looked after my two cats while I was away and I came home to them happy and well. I have a 17 year old cat who requires medicine by mouth and Natalie was able to administer her medicine reliably. Natalie is very polite and punctual and I thank her very much for looking after Wolfie and Hetty. ”
About: Ever since I was a very young child I have loved cats, and have had cats of my own since I was 8. Taking care of them gives me great joy, and I have close bonds with both of my cats. When I’m home from university, I work at a local cattery, where I am responsible for feeding the cats, cleaning their pens and ensuring their general well-being, as well as giving them lots of fuss! I find my job very rewarding, which is why I am looking to extend my skills into cat sitting, a job which I believe my experience from work would make me well equipped to do. I have experience dealing with cats of all kinds of temperaments, from painstakingly shy to aggressive, and I feel confident in dealing with whatever a cat could throw at me. I also have experience in administering medications in food and water, as well as some types of oral medications, so I would be more than happy to provide this service if your car required it.

“Great care for Charlie. She was really happy to be dropped off in the morning and was clearly well looked after. Will definitely rebook if we need someone again in the future.”
“Toby loved his first stay and can’t wait to have more, two walks, cuddles and treats. Jordan and her parents are brilliant and Toby was so well looked after. Pictures and updates were fab x”
About: I am a Volunteer foster carer for an animal shelter and have taken care of multiple dogs over the last couple years. My experiences mainly focus on small-mid sized dogs, such as Pomeranian, Bichon, Yorkshire terrier, Staffordshire, Doberman, etc. I have a cat myself so I fully understand dogs’ and cats’ everyday needs, I have the right mindset for understanding their behaviours and am equipped with basic training skills. I’m working part time so am reasonably flexible. I live in NG5 area, but I could travel further as I drive. I’m open to short notice booking too. My partner (who’s also a volunteer foster carer) is home most of the time, although I will be the main carer giver in terms of walking the dog or playing with them. The house has a fenced garden, a spare room for the dog if they prefer, and it’s ideal for dog that doesn’t cope with being alone very well. Except from our bed, doggies are welcome in all around the household.
About: I have a gap in fostering dogs right now and would love to offer help with your furry friends so you can feel at ease while you’re away. I have my own business and work from home so am pretty flexible to whatever your pets requires to feel at ease. I’m often around and can pick up last minute requests. I’ve joined rover as a sitter because I usually foster dogs and have struggled to find reliable, local sitters and so understand the importance of what is needed when you leave your loved one with a sitter while you are away. Whether it be while you’re at work or on holiday, rest assured your baby will be loved and cared for. I have a small but enclosed garden with 6 foot fencing which is perfect for a run around. I offer a tailored service so we can talk about what best suits your dog when we meet.
“From the off set Odeta was very friendly and welcoming. You can tell she loves dogs and they love her. Louie had a great day with her, nice big walk and lots of opportunities to rest in between. Odeta kept me up to date through out the day and sent lovely photos. I would highly recommend her. Thanks again xx”
“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. However, Laura’s incredible experience, enthusiasm, and genuine love for puppies instantly put me at ease. Knowing he was in such caring hands made all the difference. I couldn’t recommend Laura highly enough—we’ll definitely be coming back!”
About: Having had our dog, Koda, since last August, we have experience looking after a highly energetic little dog. As one of us is always working from home, we are able to provide ample care both inside and outside. We are able to provide pet care at any time providing there is enough notice for our dogs to meet first. One of us will always be at home so your dog will never be unaccompanied. We have an enclosed garden that is a nice size for a small run around. We also live a few minutes walk away from a number of parks that are very dog friendly.
“Enola had a fabulous time with Rachel. She was really great at communicating before and during the visit and gave a really detailed update in the report card which I thought was so nice! I’ll definitely be using Rachel again and would really recommend her too 😊”

I’m happy to answer any questions and queries you may have.
About: Hi, I have had dogs as a child and now I have my 6 year old cavvie. Before I got him, I also used to look after the neighbour's dog while he was away. My boy is super friendly so can only accept other dogs that are frindly as I don't want him to be bullied. He is intact, however, he is very chilled and not territorial. All dogs can be considered if up to 15kg as long as friendly but I would avoid looking after girls that are not neutered for obvious reasosns. I work from home full time. I currently have a dog, so a typical day would look like this. Take the dogs out first thing in the morning. Then time for breakfast and relaxing till midday. Then time for lunch break walk and relaxing after. Then pre- bed quick outing for the dogs to do their business. While at home, I will also play with the dogs so they don't get bored. I have a velcro cavvie that is my baby and intend to treat your baby the same. I will ensure your dog is looked after to the same standart as mine (which is extremely high)
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.
About: Since being a little girl, I have found so much peace being among animals. I have owned nearly every furry under the sun (dogs, cats, rabbits, guineas, mice, hamsters and more!) and love the unique personality each animal has. I have a soft spot for rescues, most of my pets have been strays and love being able to show them that the world can be a good place with the right people in it! A few years of my working life was spent in a kennels and cattery, and have recently been running a Nature School for children, where we explore and care for wildlife, animals and the world around us. It has been great to pass on my love for the animal world, to the next generation. All ages and stages of life are welcome, from pups and kittens, right through to the OAPs - and the care I offer is tailored to each animal as an individual. I will ensure I follow your instructions and care plan to ensure everyone is as happy as they can be. I've spent my entire life working with animals and children - and yes maybe you do need to be a little crazy to do that! But I do thoroughly enjoy the chaos and pure love they bring everyday. I'd be honoured to care for your beloved pets, and give you peace of mind for when you can't be there. From July, I will be working from home, so can offer the flexibility you desire. I have my children's school run twice a day, so have ample time between 9am and 3.30pm to accommodate your furry friends. I will also be available most evenings for later visits and walks if required. Weekends I can also be flexible. My large car can fit any size dog in, so can drive to green spaces for walks if desired! I have a large tiered garden, consisting of artificial turf, a bark area and decking. The house is a detached 3 bed, with 2 downstairs sitting areas, so your pets have plenty to of space to choose where they feel most comfortable.During warm weather, dogs can access an outdoor animal friendly paddling pool, and our outside space has plenty of trees to provide natural shade and a cooler temperature.
“My dog was extremely happy and anxiety to have some play buddies for a couple of hours! He was well looked after and I’m extremely grateful especially when it was such short notice! Thankyou so much! Highly recommend”
“Oscar had a great time today with Sarah and Monty! The weather was hot and they played very nicely together. Sarah was very thoughtful and took Oscar for walks and watched over as they played in the garden. Thank you very much for looking after him.so well.”

“Devon is walking our rescue dog Harley💙 with separation anxiety on a regular basis we can see Harley bonding with Devon as he is a gentle knowledgeable kind person who keeps us informed of progress Devon is reliable, trustworthy and I wouldn’t leave my dog with just anybody He has taken time to build Harley’s confidence with him and as a result Harley leaves happily for his walks with Devon😊”
“Emma and Will have been fantastic with Loki, who can be a handful. They communicate really well and provide lovely updates from their walks with Loki. They've been amazing at working with Loki's pace, as quite a nervous dog we weren't sure about getting a walker, but Emma and Will have gone above and beyond to make us feel reassured.”
“Absolutely smooth and great experience! My two kids were enjoying with Paulina. She is so professional with handling dogs, and encouraging them for a quick wee during the midday. Excellent!”
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.
“Negin took such amazing care of our little girl! She has an amazing approach, even though our girl is a nervous one. They had a great walk together, and Bridget was really happy afterwards. Will definitely book again xx”

About: Hello! I am a Nottingham Trent University student raising money for Meningitis Research Foundation. I grew up with dogs (Jack Russell terriers, a golden lab, and a German pointer mix) and I was a dog walker for about a year many years ago. I am also a runner, so if you would prefer I take your dogs for a run, just let me know! I’d love to get to know you and your doggies :) I currently work part time at an art studio and am studying for my masters in fine arts at NTU, but my schooling is quite flexible and my work is less than 20 hours per week so I am able to find time around these responsibilities. For walks I care for the dogs by allowing them to stop and explore when they want and by bringing water and a small bowl for if they get thirsty on a longer walk. I also will take the dogs for a run if that is something you would like. For dog sitting I will let the pups out every couple hours or when they want, I will feed them when needed, fix them with clean water, take them for a walk at least once per day, and of course play with them and give them lots of pets
“Marium was superb. Communicated with us extremely well before the walk and gave us lots of information afterwards. Was extremely helpful tidying up some mess in the house too, and made sure that Luigi had a wonderful time out on his walk!”
About: I live on my own and own a very active Cockerpoo. I've looked after and taken friends and family dogs for around 10 years. I live next to woodthorpe Park which is ideal for your dog to have a adventure day ! If it's a case of me looking after your dog/dogs on there own then that is totally fine. I have family that would be more than happy looking after ziggy for a while if you dog isn't comfortable around others. I currently work part-time so, so have plenty of time to play with your dogs! I am available during most of the week and also weekends I have a fenced garden which has lots of grass and greenery to run around in. I also live close to woodthorpe park which is ideal for your dog to run around and have adventures.
“Very happy with the walk we had booked with Rebecca! Our dog is quite anxious and reactive, and Rebecca made sure to cater to our dog's needs, keep us updated with a photo and some videos and also gave a good overview of the walk. It was our first time using a dog walker and she definitely made us feel safe about leaving our dog with her! Thank you ☺️”

About: I have had a dog walking job as a teenager (I am now 23 with no pets!) I’ve grown up with animals my whole life, gained experience with ex race greyhounds and with smaller more energetic dogs Would love to see regular dogs and create a friendship between dog, owner and sitter. I work 3/4 days, Working as a chef! I study along side my work. I am happy to sit dogs on my days off to keep me company and fit- I love going on walks; so I’d have a partner to accompany me. I have a ground floor flat with a small private garden, live close to the arboretum so can go for walks around the park. My flat is very clean and tidy, we used to have a cat in the flat so we are used to sharing the space.

About: I am a reliable, caring, and passionate dog carer who loves spending time with animals. I provide safe and enjoyable dog walks tailored to each dog's needs, helping them stay active, happy, and healthy. I also offer drop-in visits, where I can feed your dog, refresh their water, provide companionship, play with them, and ensure they are comfortable while you're away. Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine as I have my own cats at home. I make time each day for feeding, cleaning, exercise, and spending quality time with my animals to ensure they are happy and comfortable. I am organised and reliable, so I can easily fit pet care visits, walks, and check-ins into my weekly schedule while giving each pet the attention and care they need :) I care for pets by following their usual routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. This includes feeding them on schedule, providing fresh water, cleaning litter trays or living areas, giving them plenty of attention and playtime, and ensuring they get any exercise they need. In a pet owner's home, I respect their instructions and keep them updated on how their pet is doing. My priority is always making sure pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away!
About: Caring for animals has been a huge part of my life. I’ve fostered dogs for over two years and previously volunteered at a cat and dog rescues for four years. During that time, I’ve cared for pets of all ages—from tiny puppies and kittens to seniors needing extra love and patience. I’ve looked after a wide range of breeds, each with their own personality and quirks, and I always take the time to understand what makes each pet feel safe, happy, and loved. I’m also experienced with administering medication and supporting pets with special requirements, whether it’s a strict diet, mobility issues, or extra cuddle time. I treat every pet like they’re my own, and I know how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member in someone else’s hands. You can count on me to be reliable, loving, and fully dedicated to their care and comfort. Pet care fits naturally into our daily routine. My partner Tommy and I both work flexibly and in a hybrid setup, which means there’s always someone at home to give pets the attention, care, and company they deserve throughout the day. We plan our schedules around the pets we care for, making sure they’re never left alone for long stretches and always feel safe and relaxed. We also live in a pet-friendly area with lots of nearby parks and green spaces—perfect for regular walks, fresh air, and fun outdoor time. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in their own, I always aim to create a calm, loving, and safe environment that matches their routine as closely as possible. In my home, pets have their own cozy spaces, plenty of playtime, and lots of attention throughout the day. I make sure their needs—whether that’s feeding, medication, or just some quiet cuddle time—are always met with care and consistency. When I’m in a pet owner’s home, I respect their space and follow any instructions closely to keep their pet’s routine familiar and stress-free.

“Lauren was amazing at looking after Parsley, couldn’t have asked for anything more! We felt super comfortable the entire time knowing that parsley was having a really lovely time. It was so nice to get updates every day! Thank you again!!”
“It was our first time having a sitter for Spark and I felt really reassured when meeting Tarnya. She clearly has alot of experience with dogs and I knew that Spark would be well looked after. Thanks so much for looking after him, I'm sure he will be back soon!”
“Leah was absolutely fantastic, Willow was super happy to stay. I was nervous about leaving her for the first time but Leah made me feel super confident! I was updated regularly and had photos too!”
About: I’ve taken care of a range of different dog breeds ranging from large to small. Some of these dogs have been nervous or reactive to other dogs as well as some with people. :) I am currently completing a PhD focusing on cancer research so I am fairly flexible during the week and available the majority of weekends. I would love to meet your doggies 😊 I have a 6 foot fenced garden all the way around expect for the neighbours which is about 3/4 foot. The garden is fairly big with space to play fetch.
“Ahmadou was perfect for my little Leo. Leo was walked theee times a day so plenty of exercise to stimulate him as he is very energetic. Leo made a friend with Bailey (dog) and deffo will be asking for more play dates in the future.”
“Coco was great with Flash, he was absolutely hyper when we arrived and she took it all in stride! She sent us photos and videos throughout the day and took really good care of him! She answered all our questions and acknowledged all of the care instructions etc, we couldn’t have asked for more 😊”
About: Since I’ve loved dogs all my life, I’ve read a lot about their behaviours in my spare time. We have one dog and look after other dogs including senior dogs of family, regularly. Both me and my partner Alex have had dogs since we were children. Experience with training dogs and puppies too. We have a large secure garden for roaming and sniffing. We love to go for morning and evening walks every day and there’s a great walking path close by, perfect for dog walks. On the weekends we tend to go to local parks for fresh air whatever the weather! If your dog needs a loving holiday home with a stable routine for a while, plus a very friendly happy well behaved dog and two children who adore dogs but give them space, then we would love to welcome your fur baby from your home to ours. Get in touch :) I work from home with opportunity to play, cuddle and look at your fur baby. I have dog called Jasper, who loves to have friends over so will keep your dog company. We love being at home and one of us is always around. A typical day would be a morning sniff and runaround the garden first thing, or walk and then breakfast. Around lunchtime is also treat time and a little play and fuss, 5pm we’re in the kitchen/garden, and it’s playtime before dinner for dogs as and when adjusted to their needs. Finishing the day with an after dinner walk and snuggles on the sofa. I have a large fenced garden to keep your dogs safe, with my dog loving company. I can happily crate your dog if needed. We have a few areas downstairs if dogs would like their own time/ sleep without being disturbed too.
“We had a pre-board meeting so our dogs could meet, so we could meet, and so my dog could meet Sylvia and it all went well. I received updates, some photographs, which is really valuable when you leave your pet with someone in my opinion, and is reassuring. When I picked him up he seemed happy and well. Pick up and drop offs were mutually agreed, with some leeway for traffic, so from my perspective this was really very successful and positive and I would be happy to repeat.”
“Patrycja was the perfect dog sitter. She gives everything when looking after our springer, taking him on lots of walks, giving him lots of playtime but also relaxing cuddles in the evening. Her set up is well suited for dogs of different sizes and needs. She also sends lots of cute photos of our dog! We certainly trust Patrycja to look after our pooch very well.”
About: I have had a dog walking job as a teenager (I am now 23 with no pets!) I’ve grown up with animals my whole life, gained experience with ex race greyhounds and with smaller more energetic dogs Would love to see regular dogs and create a friendship between dog, owner and sitter. I work 3/4 days, Working as a chef! I study along side my work. I am happy to sit dogs on my days off to keep me company and fit- I love going on walks; so I’d have a partner to accompany me. I have a ground floor flat with a small private garden, live close to the arboretum so can go for walks around the park. My flat is very clean and tidy, we used to have a cat in the flat so we are used to sharing the space.

About: Since being a little girl, I have found so much peace being among animals. I have owned nearly every furry under the sun (dogs, cats, rabbits, guineas, mice, hamsters and more!) and love the unique personality each animal has. I have a soft spot for rescues, most of my pets have been strays and love being able to show them that the world can be a good place with the right people in it! A few years of my working life was spent in a kennels and cattery, and have recently been running a Nature School for children, where we explore and care for wildlife, animals and the world around us. It has been great to pass on my love for the animal world, to the next generation. All ages and stages of life are welcome, from pups and kittens, right through to the OAPs - and the care I offer is tailored to each animal as an individual. I will ensure I follow your instructions and care plan to ensure everyone is as happy as they can be. I've spent my entire life working with animals and children - and yes maybe you do need to be a little crazy to do that! But I do thoroughly enjoy the chaos and pure love they bring everyday. I'd be honoured to care for your beloved pets, and give you peace of mind for when you can't be there. From July, I will be working from home, so can offer the flexibility you desire. I have my children's school run twice a day, so have ample time between 9am and 3.30pm to accommodate your furry friends. I will also be available most evenings for later visits and walks if required. Weekends I can also be flexible. My large car can fit any size dog in, so can drive to green spaces for walks if desired! I have a large tiered garden, consisting of artificial turf, a bark area and decking. The house is a detached 3 bed, with 2 downstairs sitting areas, so your pets have plenty to of space to choose where they feel most comfortable.During warm weather, dogs can access an outdoor animal friendly paddling pool, and our outside space has plenty of trees to provide natural shade and a cooler temperature.
