“Olivia has been amazing. Friendly, understanding and very kind. My dog had a great time with her. She is fully committed to attending the needs of the dog that is staying with her. I am so grateful and would absolutely use her services again and definitely recommend her.”
“Sheena took great care of my dog over the New year and I couldn’t be more happy. She was brilliant communicator keeping me informed with loads of photos and texts. She followed his routine and even did extra walks. Charlie was very happy when I picked him up. I would be happy to recommend her and will be using her again. Thanks Sheena”
“Looked after Mylo to the highest standard. Was welcoming, lovely and compassionate. I will be using you again to look after Mylo. You catered for his needs and looked after him as if he was your own. I appreciate the short notice and thank you again! 😊”
“Manuela was absolutely great! She replied always very fast, it was really easy to communicate with her. She took great care of my little Charlie whilst I was away, always sending us pictures and updates. I could tell my dog had a lot of fun with her. I totally recommend to leave your furry kids with Manuela?”
About: I’ve had dogs all my life, and currently have a golden retriever two years old, called Sam. I work from home Monday Wednesday Thursday and can do weekends. Sam is playful and friendly and would love the company of another dog too, I have a spacious garden, and a cool house in summer. I work from home so can look after your pup. I am saving for a new house so I’m pretty much home all the time! a lunchtime walk and access to a large fenced garden and a cool living room/kitchen. I spend most of the day with a golden retriever so can offer human and mutt company for your pup!
“Leah was brilliant with our Frank, an older boy, they made sure he was well taken care of. Went a little off his breakfast with the heatwave but Leah couldn’t have been more helpful, even picking up particular foods to help him. Lots of pictures and updates to put us at ease. A regular for us now no doubt ☺️”
About: I've taken care of dogs of any kind since. I do my best to make dogs happy. I would love to take care of your dog. I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your dogs. I'm available for boarding at weekends. I have a fenced garden and some toys to keep your fur friend busy. I can easily crate your dog if needed. I always take dog for a walk.
“Jamie and Andrea were fabulous with our two. They made us feel really comfortable, and were really flexible when our pick up situation needed to change. They were really communicative and we loved seeing pictures of our girls on their holidays!”
About: Your dog will be apart of our loving family with lots of cuddles, playtime, walks & treats (if aloud by owner) When we look after your beloved dog we will ensure their needs are put first. Unfortunately, we lost our bulldog Bonnie recently and this has given us the passion and desire to look after other peoples dogs. We always found this difficult and a challenge knowing who to trust with Bonnie and my goal is to help others feel at ease. We as a family have experience being around a variety of breeds including young & old dogs. I currently work full-time in the community, however I work from home majority of the working week. Also, if I am not home my mum is at home as she only works part-time. At the weekends everybody in the house is home. Your dog will not be on their own longer than a couple of hours at a time. I have a private secure back garden where dogs will have access to safely and securely. I will care for your dog as if they were my own. I am honest, trustworthy and have a genuine love & care for animals especially dogs!
About: I have experience caring for cats, as I own one myself. As for dogs, I have never owned one, but I volunteered at a dog shelter for a long time. Currently, I work at the hospital from Monday to Wednesday. From Thursday through Sunday—unless I have plans to travel out of town—I am fully available to look after your dog or cat. . I have a CAT of our own, but he won’t have access to your pet; firstly, he likely wouldn't want that, and secondly, he is an elderly fellow. I am also the mother of a fourteen-year-old boy who, just like me, loves animals. I have a very decent garden, well-secured against a pet potentially escaping or uninvited guests from neighboring yards.
“Emily had a lovely time with Tarnya and her family! Everything about her stay was perfect! She seemed very happy and content and we were sent daily feedback on her progress which was very comforting for both of us. Thank you for a lovely stay and we can highly recommend for any future visits! Thanks again X”
“It's wonderful to hear that Rufus had such a great time with Silvia, playing with Milo, and making new friends. Having someone care for your pet and provide updates can bring peace of mind while you're away. ?? Silvia was definitely amazing with Rufus!!! A must dog sitter your pet will be loved and very safe. Thank you again for Rufus’s great time, he literally didn't move last night and snoring was included ?, that's how much of a fab time he had. You will be seeing us again!! ❤️”
“I couldn't recommend her enough! She looked after my kitten, Nico, overnight, and I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such caring and capable hands. She kept me updated, was so kind and welcoming, and it was clear that Nico was well looked after and comfortable during his stay. When I picked him up, I could tell he'd been given lots of love and attention. It was such a relief knowing he was being cared for by someone I could trust. I'll definitely be booking with her again whenever I need a cat sitter. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Nico!”
“Millie was well settled for her overnight stay and had lots of fun. Jordan consistently updated me with photos and videos of Millie. Jordan was very helpful in our meet and greet too and answered any queries I had. I definitely recommend booking with Jordan!”
“Used Rachel again after she had Patch for the day and he had a great time. Rachel and her partner provide such great care for dogs in their care, they treat Patch like their own and they even took him for his swimming lesson. Rachel is such an enthusiastic person about dogs and couldn’t ask for a better service.”
About: I have 20 years + experience of caring for dogs, I am DBS checked and first aid trained ( human). Now I have more time on my hands I would love to care for your pooch. I enjoy taking long walks with my own little fella and love being outdoors. I have experience with puppies, nervous and excitable dogs. I enjoy the socialisation puppy and dog ownership brings and love nothing more than engaging with our dog walking community. I offer short walks, long walks, cuddles, play, interaction with your precious and loyal companions. Whatever the weather you will find me walking my own fur baby, teaching him to talk and having fun. I would love to walk more pooches and give them the attention and love they deserve.
About: Hello, We are a family of five, with a 14-year-old and 5-year-old twins. Dogs have always been a big part of our family. I (Louis) grew up with our family dog, Bruno, and both my mum and sister have dogs of their own, Ed and Stan, who we spend lots of time with. My partner, Ellie, also grew up with several dogs, including Stanley, Macca and Lola, and her family currently has Rufus the Dachshund. We're absolutely ready to give all our love and care to a dog of our own. However, as Ellie and I are currently in the early stages of launching our own businesses, we've decided that caring for other people's dogs is the best fit for us right now. It allows us to enjoy spending time with dogs while making sure we can give them the attention and care they deserve. We'd love the opportunity to look after your dog and look forward to hearing from you. Kind regards, Louis, Ellie, Theo, Marcie & Daphne Pet care fits naturally into our routine. Ellie and I both work flexibly while building our own businesses, so we're able to plan our days around a dog's needs. Daily walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention would all be part of our schedule. As a family, we also enjoy spending time outdoors, so any dog staying with us would get lots of exercise, company, and affection throughout the day. We treat every dog as if they were our own. We'll always follow the owner's routine for feeding, walks, medication (if needed), and any house rules to help them feel comfortable and settled. Whether in our home or yours, we'll make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, playtime, and exercise, while keeping you updated with photos and messages so you know they're happy and well cared for. Our garden has fences on 2 sides and a bush on the other. Dogs are able to get through with some persistence but we just put dogs on a lead when sniffing around or going to the toilet. No incidents to date.

“My cats adore Laura! Even my usual shy cat is first to greet her when she arrives. I get daily pictures and she spends ample time with them during her drop-by visits. Can’t recommend enough, never worry about my cats when I know she is looking after them.”
“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!”
“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. ”
“Second time we have booked with Laura and I’m so happy with the service she provides 😁 my cat is sometimes on the shy side with other people so it’s lovely to receive photo updates throughout the visit of her playing. Excellent communication, punctual and friendly! Would defo recommend”
“Can't praise Kat enough, a genuine cat lover, trusted her completely with my boy. Went above and beyond, followed everything to a T and sent loads of lovely pics to put my mind at ease. My boy was content and relaxed on my return. Would 100% recommend 🙏😻”
“Hannah was fab. This was the longest we’d left our cats with someone who wasn’t a family member and they took to Hannah very quickly. She was communicative and reliable and did a few additional requests during the booking which was very much appreciated. I would recommend Hannah!”
“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!”
“Aliyah, looked after our cat for two weeks with drop-in visits while we were on holiday, leaving food and water plus also dealt with the post. Our cat wasn't used to visitors but he took to Aliyah really quickly and there were lots of cuddles. Vary happy and would certainly recommend.”
“Rhiannon came for a pre-visit and collected the key. We talked about our cats needs and schedule. Rhiannon then arrived, on time, each day she was visiting Shadowfax and Wesley and sent us lots of photos and updates. Would definitely book Rhiannon again to look after Shadowfax and Wesley.”
“Devon was absolutely brilliant with Kuda. He was reliable, calm, and clearly confident with dogs, which put me at ease straight away. Kuda was well cared for, happy, and relaxed during the visits, and communication throughout was great. I really appreciated the updates and the care shown — it’s clear Devon genuinely loves what he does. I wouldn’t hesitate to book again and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive sitter.”
About: I know cats have their own personalities—some love constant play, while others just want a calm presence and a clean litter box. I take time to understand your cat’s routine, so they feel safe and cared for even when you’re away. 🐾 Fresh food, water, and litter box cleaning every visit 🧶 Playtime and enrichment for active cats 💕 Gentle companionship for shy or senior cats 📸 Daily photo/video updates so you know your kitty is happy
“Alice and her Partner have been absolutely brilliant. They have looked after Winnie so well, even taken her out for longer and to the Pub for tea with them! They genuinely love your dog like you would want them to and they have handled her well when she can be a bit tricky around Cats! I can’t recommend them enough.”
“Shani was amazing with my elder cat, which has very particular needs, including letting her in and out of the garden which involves a lot of patience. She brought gifts and toys for her and most important of all, she kept her company and as happy as possible while I was away for more than 2 weeks. She sent loads of photos so I could see how Tilita was doing and suggested other ideas to increase her well being. It is not easy leaving your furry family alone but Shani always left me at ease and I couldn't be more happy with how she took care of Tilita and the house.”
“Wonderful cat sitter, super reliable, super friendly, clearly has a special connection with cats (ours can be aloof and they love Vivian!). Sent photos every day and really reassured us that our cats were in good hands. Thank you Vivian!”
About: As a lifelong animal lover, I have always been deeply passionate about nurturing and caring for not only dogs and cats but also parrots, hamsters, rabbits and fish. Growing up in a household brimming with furry friends, including a Dalmatian, a German Shepherd mix, and a number of rescue dogs; we also had cats that I always had a special bond with even with the independent nature they have. I still remember the warm feeling when I would take a break during the day and lie down in bed and there would always be one of my cats quickly following me to take a nap on my stomach. My natural ability to connect with pets has only grown stronger over the years. My expertise extends beyond my family's pets, as I've had numerous opportunities to care for a variety of breeds belonging to friends and neighbors. I've been trusted to look after dogs such as Rottweilers, Huskies, Boxers, Newfoundlands, Bulldogs, and even an American Akita while their owners were out of town. In addition to hands-on experience with dogs at various life stages, I have also had the privilege of assisting in the birthing process for a litter of American Cocker Spaniel puppies – an unforgettable experience indeed. As someone who thoroughly enjoys providing love and care for animals while their owners are away or in need of additional support, I wholeheartedly look forward to the opportunity to get acquainted with your beloved pets. My experience as both a sitter and walker promises to deliver not only outstanding care but also the chance for your four-legged friends to form new bonds as well. I work from home with a very relaxed schedule most days so the pets will have my full attention while they are under my care. Trained pets are welcome in my home and in the garden. If in a pet owner's home, I will happily follow the house rules and any requests.

“Manuela was amazing with Simba and he had a great time at her place. I was shared photos and videos of his day which kept me at peace and I was very confident leaving Simba with her. Would highly recommend her 🙂”
“Here’s a warm, polished review you could post: We needed someone to look after Rupert due to a change in our work commitments, and we’re so glad we found Olivia. Olivia was absolutely fantastic with Rupert. It was clear from all the photos and videos that he had an amazing time and really enjoyed spending time with both Olivia and Jasper too! Seeing how happy he was throughout the day gave us complete peace of mind. Communication was excellent from start to finish, and Olivia kept us updated with plenty of photos and videos. They really made me smile during my workday and reassured me that Rupert was having the best time. Thank you so much, Olivia, for taking such great care of Rupert. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with you again and would highly recommend you to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter.”

About: Friendly, Responsible & Caring - Here for your Home-Sitting, Dog Walking & Pet-Caring peace of mind & needs! I am a 48 year old, professional female, with my own location-free business. My life and lifestyle means that I can be anywhere in the world, and take breaks whenever I can and choose. I love adventure, am used to adapting to new people and situations (I've lived and traveledin many countries), and love new experiences. :) I have come back to the UK after having returned to the US in 2018, and previously lived in the UK from 2002 to 2016 - and spent close to 4 1/2 years travelling around Europe, the US and UK, primarily while house and pet-sitting for home owners and their families. I am here to help you - to give you assurance and peace of mind as YOU travel and experience new things, too! I am here to be of service as you vacation, holiday and take time away! (**A quick note to please ensure you let me know any house rules at the start of each house sit position - I will remember to ask as well! - to save any potential misunderstandings that could lead to difficulties :) ) Any questions, please don't hesitate to let me know and get in touch. I thank you for your time and look forward to being a part of your home and pet-sitting needs! Why I want to house sit I have been home and pet sitting professionally since 2015 (and taking care of fur babies far longer :) ), and love every single new experience and opportunity that comes. I love the chance to see new and interesting places, as well as have city adventures near where I already live when those arrive also. I love the flexibility and chance to be of help and support to beautiful people (like you!) as well as their pets if they have any. (I am mildly allergic to cats, so consider assignments with cats on a case by case basis - I can take allergy medicine as needed, too.) I'm very happy to pet-sit and care for most animals during assignments - having grown up with family dogs, I also greatly miss having my own!) I am lucky in that my work affords me the time and flexibility to travel more, also, which means house-sitting and pet-sitting is a perfect accompaniment to it all. Anything I can do to also help YOU with peace of mind and assurance, so that you can just enjoy yourself and RELAX :) while you are away means the world. It's a win-win, for all of us and both sides, really! My experience Having grown up with pets I also miss not having my own - I look forward to being a caring friend and caregiver to yours, if you have them, while you are away at work, vacation and holiday, or during the day. I'm glad to take on local dog walking opportunities, for instance, and am very happy to assist with health care, medicine and so on if they need anything continued while you are away. (I also have dog obedience experience, and so am very happy to continue up any routine you have for the animal's consistency.) I am additionally very happy to help with any light household duties or gardening needs, so you can rest easily knowing those will also be taken care of for you. I have some Spanish and French speaking skills, and also greatly love the opportunity to test and strengthen my language knowledge. Therefore, non-English speaking locations will not be a problem for me, and I welcome and get excited with the opportunity when available! A responsive and responsible person, I am also very happy to give regular updates if you'd like, on how things are going and/or if there is anything that comes up that needs your notice - such as bills or any important phone calls and so on. I am very happy to assist with references should you like any, in addition to those on my profile here. When house and pet-sitting, I am able to give pets bathroom breaks as often as the owners wish. I have put in that I can do so every 0-2 hours, however I am happy to amend this to whatever you rather! I greatly appreciate your time, attention and consideration of me with and for your house and pet-sitting needs, and am here to help should you have any thoughts or questions you'd like help with. Thank you!! :) I work from home, and so as long as I have access to wifi, I can be anywhere in the world! This means that I can also be there for your home and furry loved ones - and be their substitute family while you are away! I house and pet sit in your home. This means that I'm able to give loving, responsible care for your home and fur babies - just like you! I replicate your routine, send you regular updates with photos, and give your furry loved ones the VERY best in fun, love and care! (Along with your home!!) All so that YOU can rest, relax and enjoy your time away - knowing all your loved ones are safe, loved and well cared for... For them AND you!!!
“First stay with Jamie and hopefully will not be the last. My dog was very well cared for and he was content on picking up. Jamie and his partner were considerate and made sure they understood his behaviours. I would happily leave my dog in their care again.”
“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: 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.
About: I owned two dogs when I was in Italy. I was responsible for caring for my dog since I was 13. My dog lived 15 years and the second is now 12 but he is in Italy with my sister. We went for walks in the forest and loved going to the park to play with other dogs. I have experience in walking different sizes of dogs. I also have 8 years experience in looking after guinea pigs. I have 2 cats that can be separated from pets boarding in a different room I am currently off work until the middle of July, so I will be at home most of the day. This means I can provide regular walks, plenty of playtime, toilet breaks, feeding, medication if needed, and lots of attention and companionship. Your pet will not be left alone for long periods and will receive consistent care throughout the day. Lots of cuddles and stimulation. Always supervised and have a pet camera. I make sure to follow the pets routine and keep owner up to date with messages and pictures
“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 😊”
“Laura was absolutely fantastic. Treated Nala to a lovely day of walks and an all round pleasant day, keeping me informed throughout. Would 100% recommend Laura to anyone in the Nottingham area if they need someone to look after their dog. Thanks Laura!”
About: Hi, we’re Leah (you can call me Leah – my legal name is Youngkyung) and Cameron, a cat loving couple based in Nottingham! 🐱💕 Cameron grew up with his beloved cat, Tiger, who was by his side for 22 wonderful years. Tiger taught Cameron the true meaning of love and care, and I (Leah) joined his life 5 years ago, having the privilege of caring for her as well. Even in the short time I spent with Tiger, I learned how special the bond between a person and their pet can be. As Tiger became a senior, we developed our skills in caring for older cats, learning to provide specialized attention to their unique needs. This includes administering medications, understanding dietary requirements, and ensuring they have a comfortable and safe environment. I am currently dedicated to full-time Rover cat sitting, while Cameron works full-time in retail management. This arrangement allows me to promise full availability and a reliable backup plan, ensuring your precious kitty receives the personalized attention they deserve whenever needed. One of the greatest benefits of choosing us as your kitty’s sitters is our heartfelt commitment as a couple to provide flexible and loving care. We’ve both missed having a furry companion in our lives! We live in a cozy, cat-friendly flat, perfect for welcoming your kitty into a quiet and safe space. Our flat especially has a door separating the living room from the entrance to ensure a secure environment for your cat. We’re non-smokers, and our home is peaceful and warm. Ideal setting for your pet to feel relaxed and cared for! 🌿☀️ Let us be your kitty’s next best friends! We can’t wait to meet them and give them all the love and attention they deserve. With us, your kitty will always feel right at home! 💓💓 P.S. I can take the best pictures of your kitty while you’re away!
About: I am a very friendly and athletic female. Enjoy long walks and even jogs with dogs, very careful and responsible. Absolutely convinced that a dog is a pupil's best friend. Am very motivated to create a bond with every dog I meet Used to walk two border-terriers for about 3 miles around the golf course which is an amazing path for the dogs. Would love to take care of your dogs and have a nice playful time with them! Working from home Monday to Friday, have plenty of time to go on a walk during the day. I have a pretty laid back schedule I have a big garden for a dog to enjoy, big gate and fencing, I live at Mapperley park with a lot of parks and greenery outside
“Silvia took good care of our Bella when she stayed for the day. Bella enjoyed playing with Silvia’s dog Milo and she came home happy & tired. Would be happy to leave Bella with Silvia and her family again. Communication was excellent from Silvia and she would always reply quickly.”
“My partner and I came down from Canterbury for the CrossFit European championships and were looking for someone to mind our dog Shadow. Rhiannon saved us as we thought we were going to have to leave him behind. Rhiannon was great with Shadow! He stayed with Rhiannon Saturday and Sunday day and was excited to be back on Sunday, which was lovely to see. Rhiannon lives with house mates and they all got on so well with Shadow. Can’t recommend enough, they were so accommodating to Shadow and sent me lots of updates and pictures. Shadow got lots of cuddles and walks during his stay and was tired both days we picked him up, which meant we could relax! Thanks again Rhiannon, Shadow had a blast!”

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.
“Devon walked my dog Toby every day while I was away on holiday. It was very reassuring to know that he was someone I could absolutely trust, and have great confidence in him knowing how reliable he is, and also having the knowledge, experience, and affinity with dogs that Devon obviously has.”
“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.”
About: Hi! I’m a caring and reliable pet sitter with a genuine love for animals and helping people. I’m currently looking after a 13-year-old King Charles Spaniel on a temporary basis. She’s a lovely, quiet older girl, and I enjoy giving her the calm, gentle care she needs at this stage of life. I also gained lots of hands-on experience helping at my partner’s mum’s home, where she has dachshunds, huskies, and puppies. I regularly fed them, cleaned out their spaces, let them out for walks, and gave them plenty of attention and playtime. I’m comfortable with different breeds, energy levels, and ages – from lively young pups to calm seniors. As a carer by nature, I’m patient, responsible, and attentive. Whether it’s a daily walk, feeding, playtime, or just keeping your pet company while you’re away, I treat every animal like my own. I’m happy to look after dogs. I’d love to help you and your furry friends! Im currently unemployed so have a lot of free time to care for your pet! I will care for them as needed, they will be fed, go on walks and have a lot of fuss! I have a big back garden where the dogs will be able to run around, enjoy themselves! They will be able to go on many walks with myself at the local park which is 5 minute walk away
About: I have experience with rescue dogs and building bonds and trust. I know the importance of understanding what your dog needs no matter the temperament. I enjoy training new tricks and taking them for adventures. I believe I can offer your dog fun and make their stays like a holiday I work from home most of the week. My mornings start by walking maple first thing in the morning, on my lunch break and after work. With plenty of playtime in between. I am very lucky to be living with a veterinary nurse who is always on hand to help where needed. I am very flexible to your dogs routine and will aim to mirror this. Maple is very adaptable and loves having other dogs as company. Most days I aim to take them out together. If your dog prefers walks alone then this is available
About: 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

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.

About: As a lifelong animal lover, I have always been deeply passionate about nurturing and caring for not only dogs and cats but also parrots, hamsters, rabbits and fish. Growing up in a household brimming with furry friends, including a Dalmatian, a German Shepherd mix, and a number of rescue dogs; we also had cats that I always had a special bond with even with the independent nature they have. I still remember the warm feeling when I would take a break during the day and lie down in bed and there would always be one of my cats quickly following me to take a nap on my stomach. My natural ability to connect with pets has only grown stronger over the years. My expertise extends beyond my family's pets, as I've had numerous opportunities to care for a variety of breeds belonging to friends and neighbors. I've been trusted to look after dogs such as Rottweilers, Huskies, Boxers, Newfoundlands, Bulldogs, and even an American Akita while their owners were out of town. In addition to hands-on experience with dogs at various life stages, I have also had the privilege of assisting in the birthing process for a litter of American Cocker Spaniel puppies – an unforgettable experience indeed. As someone who thoroughly enjoys providing love and care for animals while their owners are away or in need of additional support, I wholeheartedly look forward to the opportunity to get acquainted with your beloved pets. My experience as both a sitter and walker promises to deliver not only outstanding care but also the chance for your four-legged friends to form new bonds as well. I work from home with a very relaxed schedule most days so the pets will have my full attention while they are under my care. Trained pets are welcome in my home and in the garden. If in a pet owner's home, I will happily follow the house rules and any requests.
About: I grew up in a household with dogs, so dog sitting as a teenager was a natural first job. It has been a consistent part of my livelihood ever since, and I'm hoping to continue now that I'm living in a new location. I have experience with all sizes and temperaments of dogs and cats, and I love them all equally. I have a part time job at the moment, so I'm able to be quite flexible with scheduling. I teach classes in the evening a few times a week, so the longest block of time when I would be away is 3 hours. I can not provide any services at my home, as I live in pet free housing, but I have many years of experience with housesitting and dog sitting within homes, and I am courteous and respectful of your property. Nobody wants to come by to a messy home, so I always make sure to keep your spaces tidy and your pets happy!
About: With extensive experience in training puppies and providing specialized attention to senior dogs, I ensure each furry friend receives the personalized care they need.

This includes designated areas for play, rest, and meals, along with regular exercise and enrichment activities tailored to their needs. I maintain open communication with pet owners, providing updates and photos to keep them informed and reassured.
“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 ☺️”

“Leah was brilliant with our Frank, an older boy, they made sure he was well taken care of. Went a little off his breakfast with the heatwave but Leah couldn’t have been more helpful, even picking up particular foods to help him. Lots of pictures and updates to put us at ease. A regular for us now no doubt ☺️”
About: Your dog will be apart of our loving family with lots of cuddles, playtime, walks & treats (if aloud by owner) When we look after your beloved dog we will ensure their needs are put first. Unfortunately, we lost our bulldog Bonnie recently and this has given us the passion and desire to look after other peoples dogs. We always found this difficult and a challenge knowing who to trust with Bonnie and my goal is to help others feel at ease. We as a family have experience being around a variety of breeds including young & old dogs. I currently work full-time in the community, however I work from home majority of the working week. Also, if I am not home my mum is at home as she only works part-time. At the weekends everybody in the house is home. Your dog will not be on their own longer than a couple of hours at a time. I have a private secure back garden where dogs will have access to safely and securely. I will care for your dog as if they were my own. I am honest, trustworthy and have a genuine love & care for animals especially dogs!
About: I have experience caring for cats, as I own one myself. As for dogs, I have never owned one, but I volunteered at a dog shelter for a long time. Currently, I work at the hospital from Monday to Wednesday. From Thursday through Sunday—unless I have plans to travel out of town—I am fully available to look after your dog or cat. . I have a CAT of our own, but he won’t have access to your pet; firstly, he likely wouldn't want that, and secondly, he is an elderly fellow. I am also the mother of a fourteen-year-old boy who, just like me, loves animals. I have a very decent garden, well-secured against a pet potentially escaping or uninvited guests from neighboring yards.
“Emily had a lovely time with Tarnya and her family! Everything about her stay was perfect! She seemed very happy and content and we were sent daily feedback on her progress which was very comforting for both of us. Thank you for a lovely stay and we can highly recommend for any future visits! Thanks again X”
“It's wonderful to hear that Rufus had such a great time with Silvia, playing with Milo, and making new friends. Having someone care for your pet and provide updates can bring peace of mind while you're away. ?? Silvia was definitely amazing with Rufus!!! A must dog sitter your pet will be loved and very safe. Thank you again for Rufus’s great time, he literally didn't move last night and snoring was included ?, that's how much of a fab time he had. You will be seeing us again!! ❤️”
“Millie was well settled for her overnight stay and had lots of fun. Jordan consistently updated me with photos and videos of Millie. Jordan was very helpful in our meet and greet too and answered any queries I had. I definitely recommend booking with Jordan!”
“Used Rachel again after she had Patch for the day and he had a great time. Rachel and her partner provide such great care for dogs in their care, they treat Patch like their own and they even took him for his swimming lesson. Rachel is such an enthusiastic person about dogs and couldn’t ask for a better service.”
“George had a great second time staying with Pui Yan. I received many videos and photos of George having a ball. Pui Yan even taught him a few new tricks (touch and paw) and gave him some puppy perfume. He slept like a log when he got back home!”
“This was the first time our 9 year old Dalmatian has stayed with anyone other than family and the stay would not have gone better, he settled straight away. Really appreciated the updates we received and the love that was shown by Patrycja and partner. Thank you so much.”
“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.”
About: Since I was young, my family have been breeding bull dogs and I helped out a lot. Growing up we have had many dogs that I have loved to take on long walks. Currently we don’t have any at the moment which has left me wanting to go out and be with dogs again! I love long walks, hiking and being outdoors. I am currently waiting to enroll on a pets first aid course! Pet care is the perfect way to fill my week with something I truly enjoy, while making sure your furry friend gets the attention they deserve. Whether I’m walking dogs or house sitting for any type of pet. My priority is always their safety, comfort, and happiness. I’m trustworthy, reliable, and respectful of your home as everything will be exactly as you left it. I make sure pets are never put in unsafe situations, follow their routines closely, and give them plenty of attention and care while you’re away. You can relax knowing your home and your pets are in good hands.
“Grace recently looked after our reactive rescue staffie Daisy when we went away for the weekend. We did a meet and greet , which was easy to organise and Grace was very welcoming. We hadn't used Grace before for daycare, so we were a little anxious about Daisy stopping overnight as her first visit but she settled really fast and had a great time. We received regular updates and photos (where we could tell that Daisy was genuinely happy!) and our advice regarding Daisy's routine was followed well 🙂 we will definitely be asking Grace to sit Daisy again in future and would recommend her to anyone.”
