“Andy was loving and caring towards our two dogs! He was not only professional but easily contactable and replied promptly every time. We were not only comfortable with him looking after our dogs, we would consider visiting their family as they got along so well with our pups! We received images of the dogs and updates daily! Would highly recommend.”
“Thank you Jessica, for another week of caring so wonderfully for Kizzy. I’m sure she has really enjoyed all the lovely walks, cuddles and attention that you and your family have given her. It has given me such peace of mind, while being on holiday. Thank you again.”
“Pedro was fabulous with our dog, and looked after him as though it was his own dog. He came home relaxed and happy even though we'd been away for over a week. I'd 100% recommend Pedro.”
“Our Pup Mila stayed with Samantha for 4 nights recently. Samantha is very warm and welcoming. Very knowledgeable about dogs with helpful advice. Attentive to Mila and all her needs. Samantha updates are amazing. A lot of videos and photos sent - which I really appreciate and enjoy receiving. Contact with Samantha was immediate. The whole process starting with a meet and greet is organised and accomodating. Mila settled well with Samantha and her lovely pack of pups. We will definitely book with Samantha again.”
“Otis is a bit anxious and always very busy so we were nervous about leaving him in someone's home, but right from the start Kristy put us at ease. Krisy gave us daily updates about long walks and swimming, which, as it was our first time was really appreciated. Otis will definitely be holidaying with Kristy again!”
About: I have taken care of dogs all sizes and ages including blind and elderly dogs. If I look after your dog you can be assured I will care for them as if they are my own! I am able to go on long walks and runs if this is something your dog enjoys. I have had dogs my whole life but only started looking after and walking dogs within the past 3 years. I work from home Mondays and Fridays and free most weekends, if you need your dog looking after outside of these days, this can be arranged with prior notice. I have a fully fenced garden with secure gate, pets will be allowed to roam freely through the house with no restrictions as I want them to feel as comfortable as possible.
“Dillon in all his 13 ye ars has only ever been with me or a family member. Due to a family occasion abroad l had to find alternative accommodation for Dillon. Graig and his family were lovely ,making Dillon part of their family for the week. We went for a meet and greet and the whole family were excited to meet Dillon. He got on well with their dog Chester and the family were a perfect match. I wasn't worried about Dillon while I was away as l received endless photos and video's enjoying his week. I will definitely have them look after Dillon again .”
“Chloe was lovely to deal with and very accommodating. We needed to book in at short notice and without time for a meet and greet prior. However she was very reassuring and kind and I had no hesitation leaving my dog with her. When I arrived she was very keen to understand my dog’s needs and sent me photos to keep me updated. We would highly recommend Chloe to anyone looking for a caring, warm and friendly dog sitter who has an adorable dog of her own to keep your furry friend company!”
“Nayelly was absolutely brilliant looking after Willow. It was the first time I’ve left willow so I was very nervous however Nayelly gave me photos and videos of her having such a brilliant time and instantly put my mind at ease, I couldn’t recommend her enough !! 😊”
About: Hi everyone, My name is Maddy and I have furry babies of my own. I’ve always been good with cats and dogs, looking after and caring for them. Out of my three cats, two are rescues and I love them equally. They’re very needy. I have over ten years of experience and I’d love to provide the same level of care for your furry friends as I do for my own.
“Goofy had a very joyful time at Shreya’s , specially his companion Riley. This was our second time with Shreya and she is very good will definitely book her again and recommend always”
“Lourdes was absolutely fantastic. My mum was very nervous about leaving Marcus, but Lourdes met him first and hit it off straight away, which settled all the nerves! Throughout the process, Lourdes kept us updated with plenty of pictures and updates. Marcus looked like he was having a fantastic time. We can't thank you enough!”
About: My family has had dogs and cats my entire life. Our previous pets were a beautiful cocker spaniel and a ginger male cat. Now our home has no pets and I would be happy to help with yours! I am an equestrian specialist and have just returned from global work. My entire BSc degree and then career has been shaped around animal training and care, please get in touch for any help you need! While living in the Caribbean, I would spend some of my time off helping at the dog shelter on my street. I would take the adult dogs out for day trips at the beach (it was so sweet!). I am currently in the office two days a week (wed&thur). For the rest of the week I can choose how much work I complete! This is a great time for me to help out with pets. They are able to have my full attention. We have a grass covered garden that is well fenced in. Directly next to our house we have many fields and lovely walks. I am happy to take on any of your pets routines so they are comfortable. There is a 9 and 12 year old in my home part of the time. The time they are here will change weekly. They adore pets, and are great with animals… please be in contact about wether any boarding will be around the children or not :)
“We were very happy leaving Archie with Greg, and Archie returned very chilled and content. Greg sent regular updates and pictures which was great and he was very honest with any concerns which is appreciated. Thanks Greg!”
“Looked after our old chocolate labrador for week. No issue's at all - she was snuggled up on sofa when we returned. Veja is a dog lover having two of her own. Would use Veja again.”
“So happy with Erika! Booked in last minute and she was happy to take Nova. Received daily pictures and could see how happy my girl was. Nova definitely loved her stay and will be using Erika’s services again! Thank you!”
“Amazing! Zoe and family including the fur babies are great. Very welcoming, Henry loves going here, pulls me all the way to the door. He’s settled great thanks to Zoe being the way she is. Have no qualms leaving Henry here and I was a very nervous, apprehensive first time apart dog mum, so all these fears are gone! Thank you for you and your family welcoming Henry in xxx”

“Justina was an excellent cat sitter for Blaze while we were away. She made regular drop-ins and took the time to ensure she actually saw him and confirmed he was eating—especially important since he tends to skip meals when his routine changes. Her updates were detailed, with several photos each day, which gave us real peace of mind. We felt completely reassured knowing Blaze was in such caring hands. Highly recommend and will absolutely use her again without hesitation!”
About: I have owned dogs all my life and have experience training, walking and caring for them. I have owned several types of dogs so have learnt to handle different personalities. I have experience caring for dogs other than ones I own as well, such as babysitting for neighbours, extended family members and friends. I currently am a student at the university of York, on summer break until October. During this period I have no academic obligations, so my schedule is completely flexible seven days a week—including evenings and weekends. This open availability allows me to commit readily to regular or one-off engagements, accommodate last-minute requests, and dedicate consistent time and attention wherever it is needed. At home, I follow a consistent, safety-first routine: each of my dogs enjoys two purposeful walks every day, never less than an hour per outing. Whether we’re on-lead along busy pavements or in a secured, off-lead exercise area, I use well-fitted harnesses, high-visibility gear, and clear verbal cues to keep every dog under confident control. Years of working with energetic pups, strong pullers, and shy seniors have sharpened my ability to read canine body language and respond calmly to everything from sudden leash reactivity to distracted wandering. I proactively manage encounters with unfamiliar dogs—maintaining distance when needed, redirecting focus with positive reinforcement, and ensuring that every outing remains relaxed, enjoyable, and incident-free.
About: I have had cats since I was 15 years old and currently own two cats (Ted & Pixie). One is an outdoor cat and the other stays indoors. I have no problems with cleaning litter trays or giving medication as my eldest cat currently has medical supplements for bladder issues. I've also had many other furry friends of my own such as a dog, hamsters, guinea pigs, rabbit and tropical fish. I used to work in the pet industry and even had just under 2 years of working on a farm.
About: I’ve had dogs all of my life and would love to have one of my own one day. I work full time but am available at weekends and during the school holidays. I are very active and passionate about animals. I often look after family pets but would like to help more people looking for dog sitters. I am available at weekends and during school holidays. I are very active and will love and treat your dog as if it was my own. I have a fenced garden but will ensure that your dog is taken out into open spaces throughout the day. I have a cat but he is very used to being around dogs!
About: Us: We're a couple from Australia, experiencing a different life in the UK. We absolutely love animals, especially dogs and the companionship that they give. We're dedicated to ensuring your pets happiness and comfort and providing enough attention, affection, exercise and stimulation that they need while you're away. We will also respectfully maintain your routine, rules and training. While we both have experice with animals from a young age, we have been professionally dog sitting in the UK since November 2024 and have had lots of experience with many different breeds, temperaments and of all ages. We can provide care in our home with pick up and drop off service if required (price to be arranged based on location). Or we can house sit in your home if that is more comfortable for your pets. We will maintain and take exceptional care of your home. Wherever it be, they will be provided with the best care we can possibly give! Danny: I grew up with dogs of friends and family. I have also looked after dogs for my friends and family over the years. I have experience with young puppies and have provided palative care when it was needed. Ruby: Animals are my passion, especially dogs! When I am in the presence of animals, I instantly light up and feel happier. I hold a certificate in Dog Psychology, Behaviour and Training. I am also currently studying Animal Health and Veterinary Care in which I will soon attain a first aid certificate. I have owned pets from a young age and was a dog owner for over 14 years. I have experience in extensive special care during injury recovery of dogs, palative care and puppy care. I have also provided care for many other animals, including wildlife. Our space: We live in Silverstone which is abundant with beautiful walks through fields and forests. We also have a large grass backyard that is fully fenced. Pets are welcome on our furniture and we will often allow them on the bed, though only if this is okay with you, as we don't like to encourage unwanted behaviours. We have hard floors throughout and stairs to enter, but we are always happy to carry them up if they are not fit for stairs. Thank you for considering us for special care of your pets! Please note: When leaving your pets in our care, please ensure the pets are recently washed and clean for their stay. Please provide bedding and food bowls that are clean and don't smell. While we love animals, the cleanliness of our home is very important to us and allowing them on our furniture is upon condition of them being clean. If your pets have any nuisance behaviours that may cause damage to our home, please book housesitting instead of boarding. Please ensure your pets are toilet trained (exemption of puppies in training) and specify if your pets need to be let out for the toilet more often than every two hours. We love caring for your pets, though we appreciate your respect of our home. Ruby is studying from home so has plenty of flexible time to spend with your dog during the week. Danny is currently working full time hours on site, though can sometimes arrange work from home if needed. We are both present in the mornings, evenings and weekends in which we will spend all our time with your pets. We love walks and adventures amongst nature or just relaxing at home. We have a large fully fenced, grass yard for dogs to play in, use the toilet and have a run around. We are also surrounded by large fields. It's also fine for dogs to play inside where it's cosy. Dogs are welcome on the furniture. We also have doors to every room if needing to be confined to any areas or away from the stairs. They are safe inside and there is no way for them to escape.
About: Need someone who truly speaks 'dog'? I’ve spent my whole life surrounded by pets (including hamsters and even ducks!), so I’m well-versed in the care and quirks of all kinds of animals. My dog, Enzo, and I are looking for some new buddies to join our daily adventures! We offer a friendly, social environment—and on special days, my dad’s Mini Schnauzer joins the crew for even more tail-wagging fun. I’m comfortable with dogs of all ages and sizes, and I can’t wait to treat your pup like one of my own 😊 If your dog isnt a fan of others, thats completely fine! Im happy to walk your pup alone if needed. I do have a car if required, but I usually walk around the river or in the meadows during the week! I work full time, but in a flexible role and from home. I can work different hours, but do normally have some meetings to attend, but as I'm often coordinating these I can fit them to a schedule. I have a fenced garden and have Enzo, my Italian Volpino, to keep your pup company! I live in Central Towcester so often walk int the area.
“Lisa was very helpful when I has to asked for someone to look after Milo at short notice. She came over beforehand, learnt his routine and was patient and understanding with his awkward behaviour. She kept me updated with helpful information and pictures and I had total peace of mind knowing he was well cared for. I will be happy to use Lisa ag”
About: While most of my experience is with dogs, I’ve also looked after a few cats, including caring for my nan’s cat over time. I understand that every cat is different, so I take a calm, gentle approach and make sure they feel comfortable, well-fed, and cared for in their own home
“Alexandra has been superb 👌 our cats were so relaxed when we returned like we have never left the house. We were spoiled by pictures and videos each day we were away. I would highly recommend her services.”
“Chelsea was fantastic looking after our cat. The updates and pictures were so lovely (very talented photographer). I was worried cookie wouldn't warm to other people but he loved having Chelsea around. Looked after the house nicely. Shes such a lovely person which adds to the comfort of leaving your house and animals with her. Will 100% be using her to look after cookie again.”
“Veja was just amazing 😊 Our booking was very last minute for a poorly cat just out of surgery and we were super nervous about leaving her. We didn't need to worry though... Veja was so happy to give Claudia her meds and look after her wound. Really fab communication in a bit of a chaotic situation and we can't thank her enough. Would absolutely recommend! Thanks Veja! ♥️”
About: I’ve grown up around cats my whole life and absolutely love everything about them. Over the years I’ve cared for multiple cats at once, and currently have my beautiful long-haired tabby boy, Ed. I’ve also looked after friends’ and family members’ cats while they’ve been away on holiday, and regularly do drop-in visits for my auntie’s beautiful Ragdoll. I understand that every cat has their own personality and routine, and I always make sure they feel comfortable, relaxed, and well cared for while you’re away. I also have experience keeping cats mentally stimulated through play and enrichment, whether they’re energetic and playful or prefer a calmer approach. Having grown up with a cat that required daily medication, I’m comfortable administering oral medication patiently and gently when needed. During drop-in visits, I’m happy to provide feeding, fresh water, litter tray cleaning, grooming/brushing, playtime, cuddles, and plenty of company to help your cat feel comfortable and relaxed while you’re away. I always tailor visits to each cat’s personality and needs to make the experience as stress-free as possible.
About: I’ve always had a soft spot for cats and truly enjoy spending time around them. I cared for my own cat, Karma, for three wonderful years and she taught me how affectionate and sensitive cats can be. I would love to have one again, but my lifestyle doesn’t allow it right now, so looking after yours fills that space beautifully.
About: I’ve been obsessed with cats for as long as I can remember! Whether it’s cuddling with a sleepy kitty, playing with a curious kitten, or earning the trust of a shy cat, I absolutely love spending time with them. I understand their unique personalities and know how to make them feel comfortable and cared for.
About: I moved to the UK 10 years ago from New Zealand where I grew up in a family home full of pets including dogs, cats, rabbits and a horse. I love having animals around so would love to help anyone out with caring for their furry family members. I work from home and would love some company! I can be relatively flexible but do work the usual 9-5 even though I am at home but am happy to keep any animals who may otherwise be home alone company during the days. I can go for walks at lunch time and after 5pm and do toilet breaks more frequently during the day. I would love to care for anyone’s pets as if they were my own. Happy to answer any queries you may have and can meet you first if you would like.
About: Hey, I’ve owned pets all my life, grew up with dogs and have owned my own dogs for 5 years from a puppy. I recently rescued a young dog called Nemo, who has issues with her mobility due to a club foot. I’d love to run a doggy day care full time in the future so I’m taking the first steps towards that goal opening my home out to others. I work from home so I’m available to look after dogs throughout the day, my job involves occasional travel but I will know about this in advance, should it be a problem. I am a single mum, with a young boy called Rory. I share custody of him with his Dad so my availability varies depending on where he is. He loves dogs, and is great with them, however a toddler, my two dogs and any additional would be a bit much for me! My dogs Archer and Nemo are friendly, they absolutely love the company of other dogs and they’re always been happy to share their home when we have looked after relatives animals before. Depending on times of drop off/pick up I’m happy to take the dogs on walks along with their normal daily walks, they would love it! I currently work from home, with a small amount of travel required, which I know about in advance and can arrange pet care around this. We have an enclosed garden, stone fences all around. There is a separate dog room, to ensure maximum safety (nothing gets left lying around in there!) I work from home, so, I am on hand to let them out to play/use the toilet, and play with them as well.
About: I have over 3 years of hands-on experience working in professional dog daycare and boarding services, caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. My role involved daily supervision, structured play, feeding, and ensuring each dog’s safety and wellbeing. I’ve also worked closely with dogs on training and behaviour improvement, helping to reinforce good manners, calm behaviour, and positive socialisation. This has given me strong skills in reading dog body language, managing group dynamics, and adapting care to suit individual needs. I’m passionate about providing reliable, patient, and attentive care, making sure every dog feels safe, stimulated, and happy while in my care — whether that’s on a walk, during a drop-in, or extended stays I attend sixth form during the week, which means I have a structured routine and am very organised with my time. Outside of school hours, I have many free hours available for pet care, including walks, drop-ins, and sitting. I also work one day a week on Saturdays at a dog daycare, which helps me continually build my experience and stay confident handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I’m able to give dogs focused, reliable attention alongside my other commitmentsX When caring for pets in their own home, I prioritise safety, routine, and trust. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walking routines, training cues, and any specific behavioural needs. With over 3 years of experience in dog daycare and boarding, I’m confident reading body language, managing behaviour appropriately, and ensuring pets remain calm and comfortable in their familiar environment. I make sure doors, gates, and leads are always secure and that pets are supervised at all times. I treat every home with respect and responsibility, keeping spaces clean and tidy and providing regular updates for peace of mind. My goal is to ensure pets feel safe, well-cared-for, and relaxed while maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible

“A glowing review for Danny & Ruby: We can not recommend Danny & Ruby highly enough! From the very start, their professionalism and kindness shone through. They responded to our messages straight away and were so friendly over the phone, which immediately put us at ease. They even allowed us to meet them in person before looking after our 3-month-old puppy, Rosie, giving her the chance to get comfortable with them. During her time with them, they went above and beyond to ensure she was happy and well cared for. They kept track of her toilet times, provided her with plenty of walks, and sent us the most adorable pictures of her along the way. We are so grateful to have found Danny & Ruby and truly appreciate the love and care they showed our young pup. If you're looking for someone to care for your furry friend, look no further! Thank you very much Danny & Ruby.”
About: Hi everyone, My name is Maddy and I have furry babies of my own. I’ve always been good with cats and dogs, looking after and caring for them. Out of my three cats, two are rescues and I love them equally. They’re very needy. I have over ten years of experience and I’d love to provide the same level of care for your furry friends as I do for my own.
About: We have had dogs (mostly bulldogs!) in our home for the last 15 years & currently have an English Bulldog called Troy…who is adopted! Now our kids are a little older & we are settled in our new home, we would love to help you when you need somewhere safe, comfortable & loving to send your dog. I am a housewife & mum of 2 so I am home most of the time. Your dog will only be left alone when I have to do the school runs and errands. I have plenty of time for walks & play. I have a fenced garden & are also lucky to have plenty of options for walks including nearby woodland trails. We have a/c so your pet will be safe & cool during the summer months. I have one friendly dog to keep your pet company. Your dog will be cared for like a member of our family.
“As always, Kylo had so much fun with Sabine, he absolutely adores her. Sabine has our full trust and we couldn't wish for a better person to look after our pup! Kylo gets super excited to see Sabine! Thank you!”
“James & his dog Ruby are so lovely! Looked after my dog Willow so well, she always came home with a smile on her face & sleepy from a fun day! Thank you so much! Would definitely recommend James & will 100% use in the future! Thanks again”
“Jana was an absolute lifesaver! She agreed to look after my dog Kairo at the very last minute and was incredibly easygoing and flexible throughout. Communication was smooth, and I felt completely at ease leaving him in her care. When I picked Kairo up, he was clearly happy and relaxed — a sure sign he had a great day. I'm so grateful for her help and would definitely trust her with Kairo again in the future. Highly recommended!”
“Chloe is great! Kylo had a wonderful time and was really well looked after. Her dog Luna is the sweetest girl – they got on so well together! Chloe is super easygoing, which really put us at ease about leaving Kylo. We got updates and could tell he was having fun and felt right at home. Highly recommend!!”
About: Having owned my own dogs since childhood and cats in the last 20 years I am well versed in caring for them. I have owned a mini menagerie of animals with my own children as well as offering support to my local community to take care of dogs, cats, rabbits, rats, hamsters, hedgehogs, birds and the odd rescued creature. I am a part time student (mature) and so am at home most days during the week and weekends are certainly negotiable. I am able to base myself at another home if that suits both parties better. I love having dogs and animals in my orbit as I go for walks, enjoy snuggles and "chats" and pootling around with them - in between essay writing! I have a fenced garden and it is secure. I recently lost my labradoodle to old age sadly but I still have a cat, rats and am currently overwintering a hedgehog. I am equally happy to discuss staying at a clients home if that suits both our needs better.
About: Distinguished by a personalised approach, I go beyond happy walks – I create tail-thrilling adventures, connecting with your pet and ensuring your furry companion's joy with every step. I am currently quite busy during the weekdays, so the best days for me to provide care services are Fridays and Weekends or some evenings. I care for pets and dogs at my home as if they were my own providing personal care at all times, I love it so much.
About: I’ve had dogs all my life. Growing up on a farm I have always been surrounded by animals and at least 2/3 dogs minimum. Most recently we had our own rescue dog who had a variety of health and behavioural needs. But we managed to train him up, build his confidence and he led a happy life. Unfortunately he has now passed away and we made the decision with two young kids not to tie ourselves down to having a dog full time; so this seemed like a perfect solution. I love the idea of my kids growing up around dogs and animals; they are already used to all my extended families dogs, including two Rhodesian Ridgebacks, so they are used to big dogs. Rest assured there will be plenty of cuddles and attention for any dogs that stay with us. I work from home full time and we have plenty of space in the house and the garden. I work full time at home and am off work every Friday. Weekends tend to be orientated around getting the kids outside; which generally includes going out on their bikes, round the woods and on walks. I have a fenced in garden and am happy to accommodate to any rules/ boundaries you prefer to set. We are a fairly relaxed and flexible family and our main priority is making sure both kids and dogs alike are safe, looked after and happy.
“So happy I found Lucie to look after my doggie, 2nd visit and my dog Athena was so excited to see her I’m very relaxed when Lucie is looking after Athena, she genuinely cares and always sends updates, very reliable!”

About: Animals have always been a part of my life, and having had various pets including my own cat for 22 years, I know what it means to be a devoted pet parent. I am dedicated to providing exceptional care for your fur baby in the comfort of their own home, and offer reassurance and peace of mind whilst you are away. As an extra layer of protection, I am also fully DBS checked. I currently work from home, and am available for drop ins/home visits and walks from Mon - Sun between 7am and 7pm, up to three visits per day. I am also more than happy to do lunchtime visits if your pet just needs someone to check in on them in the day. Love and safety are my priorities, as having taken care of my own cat for over 20 years, I understand the importance of a safe and comfortable environment, and with someone you can trust. I take all aspects of your pet's care into consideration, including their individual nature, specific needs, and daily routine.
About: I’ve had dogs all of my life and would love to have one of my own one day. I work full time but am available at weekends and during the school holidays. I are very active and passionate about animals. I often look after family pets but would like to help more people looking for dog sitters. I am available at weekends and during school holidays. I are very active and will love and treat your dog as if it was my own. I have a fenced garden but will ensure that your dog is taken out into open spaces throughout the day. I have a cat but he is very used to being around dogs!

From a young age, I’ve also regularly walked and cared for dogs belonging to friends and family. i'm currently off work but usually working part time so i have a lot of time to care for your pets! good at organising so can fit to your schedule! i have a fenced big garden with a lot of space to run around. can easily cage your dog if needed. transferring my experience to your house making sure your pets are comfortable while your not there!

About: Over 25 years experience as a dog owner from puppies all the way up to adulthood, also dog sitting for friends and family when required. I do not have any work commitments and want to spend my time doing what I love most which is looking after and caring for dogs I have a fully fenced secure garden and many lovely walks nearby. My house has plenty of room for the dogs to roam. I have a senior Labrador who loves company.
About: I have had animals my whole life of all varieties. I have had pets young, old and all the in between. I am confident in giving pets medicine if they need it. I am studying to become a vet nurse in uni, but I have time to pet sit or walk at many times in the day. I am not in uni all day everyday so I will have lots of time. Taking care of our pets is important, the day to day care is especially. Feeding and watering pets and exercising them is a necessary need. At home I make sure to check on my pets very often to make sure they are okay and happy.
About: I have specialised in animal care for the best part of 3 years, working in veterinary clinics and setting up my own dog walking business in Cheltenham. We have recently relocated to Brackley. Since having a baby, I always wanted something that would enable me to be out walking every day and keeping fit. Being with dogs all day was defiantly the answer and that’s why we love Rover and the opportunity it gives us to be with all different types of doggies. I now run my own business and currently in the process of opening up our very own veterinary practice. This career switch has enabled me to be at home every day and it means I have 100% control over my day and time. As both me and my partner work from home it means there will never be a time that your little one is left by themselves, meaning we can help with dogs who have separation anxiety or just don’t like being by themselves too much. I am able to administer medication and completely cater to your doggies schedule so please let me know of any detail big or small that would enable me to make your dogs stay as special as possible with us. We have a big back garden and the door is left open pretty much all day so they can run and sunbathe on the grass all they like! I also have 2 mini sausage dogs myself who are still young so love to play but mainly enjoy a lot of sleeping and cuddles. Therefore any dog I do take on a doggy holiday needs to be friendly and well socialised with other dogs. Please be assured that we would do anything to make your dog feel as special and welcome as possible. I know we’re not able to replace you or the bond you share with your furry friend but we’re able to create a secure and loving home whilst you are away. P.S we love to keep you very regularly updated with photos and videos of their day and how they’re doing so let us know how frequent you would like updates, wether it be every few hours or every day- we understand you might need a breather aswell! Thank you for considering us to look after your little ones and we hope to meet you soon! I am available any time and also for last minute bookings, please give me a message with what you require and I will try my best to help out. We have got multiple areas for your doggy to relax on, whether it be their own quiet corner or on the sofa with us. They're welcome anywhere!
About: I moved to the UK 10 years ago from New Zealand where I grew up in a family home full of pets including dogs, cats, rabbits and a horse. I love having animals around so would love to help anyone out with caring for their furry family members. I work from home and would love some company! I can be relatively flexible but do work the usual 9-5 even though I am at home but am happy to keep any animals who may otherwise be home alone company during the days. I can go for walks at lunch time and after 5pm and do toilet breaks more frequently during the day. I would love to care for anyone’s pets as if they were my own. Happy to answer any queries you may have and can meet you first if you would like.
About: Hi, My name is Jess and I have been dog walking professionally for 3 years and before that doing it on a ad-hoc basis while I was studying. I've always had a passion for animals and have been the go-to person for family and friends whenever they needed assistance with their pets. I love taking dogs for walks and caring for cats whenever I can. When I meet a pet for the first time, I make it a priority to learn all about them—their routine, habits, and personality and any health issues. Understanding these aspects is essential for me and making sure that the pet feels comfortable with me. This allows me to provide the best care possible, tailored to their individual needs. When I take a dog for a walk, I make it a point to provide a well-rounded experience. I ensure they get plenty of exercise while also allowing them to sniff and explore their environment, as that’s just as crucial as letting them run freely. One of my favorite activities is playing the “find it” game with treats. It’s a fantastic way to help them settle down after all the excitement of running around! I have a certificate of attendance that I have completed a CPD accredited activity in dog first aid and emergency canine care. I also carry a first kit around with me. As I'm currently living in a flat sadly I don't have a dog of my own but do have 3 fishes all named Gus! Known as the Gus's my wonderful guppy fish. Along side my fish I also share custody of the family dog Pumba (mini Yorkie 11 years old!) who is a lovable dog but lacks a braincell expect when it comes to food! When I was younger we had many family pets including hampers, degus and a very grumpy rabbit. So I would be willing to pet sit for your small furry friends. Looking forward to hearing from you, Jess I'm a self employed dog walker so this is my day to day which I love! I'm available all week to help with your pets. When I take care of your pet in your home I make sure I follow their routine to keep them as happy and calm as possible.
About: Hi, I'm Kirstie, thank you for looking at my profile! I have owned animals my whole life, we are definitely a family of animal lovers! At the moment we have eight cats, Joey, Lacie, Dynamo, Kurt, Saxon, Mini Big, Ginge and Gus, two long haired and the rest short haired. They all have their own unique personalities, but mostly have one thing in common, they love a fuss and a cuddle! We do have one cat who has her 'boundaries' and so I am used to those cats who prefer their own space! I could think of nothing better than spending my days getting to fuss over lots of different animals, cats are my first love but I have a soft spot for all animals 🥰 This is my full time job so I have plenty of availability! I work to their routine, in every way. They become family to me! I work to you and your pets routine, feeding times, walk times, where they sleep etc. Pets prefer to stay in their own homes, and I will do everything I can to make sure they feel at home with me.
“Had a lovely meet and greet with Ashika! Was very nervous as my dog is a bit of a barker, but quickly settled and allowed Ashika to throw her ball and give her treats, which was a huge success! Ashika was very chatty, friendly and easy to get along with. Can't wait to see how my dog bonds with her over time!”
About: Hi All! I am just your everyday gal who loves anything on 4 legs. I have experience with all dogs of varying sizes and cats of various breeds. Rather it is just for pop-in or in need of your furry friend a place to stay, the pleasure would be all mine. At home, I have a senior basset hound who absolutely loves all dogs and super interested in cats. She’s been an only dog for many years, so when other animals are around.. she gets a little spring in her step. We would thoroughly enjoy hanging out with your furry friend or merely doing a pop-in! I currently work full time Monday - Friday from 8 - 4pm; however, I come on lunch time (11-12-ish) to let my pup roam. Completely free on the weekends. I have a fenced in garden that my pup and the furries may use whilst I am at home. Also, I do have a crate, if necessary.
About: Growing up I’ve always been around dogs, from little chihuahua‘s to Great Danes. I frequently dog sit my grandparents yorkie when they go away, and shes old and a little reactive. I can confidently say I can care for any size dog, however if your pup is on the larger side and has reactivity issues Im not the sitter for you as I don’t have the experience or knowledge to safely care for your pup. That’s not to say big dogs are a complete no! As long as they’re friendly I’ll be happy to meet a few fur friend of any size I currently work Friday mornings part time, so plenty of time for your pets needs. Im flexible with how long I can spend with your pet, wether they need to be with me 24/7 (there is an option for them to be able to come to work with me, however it involves a lot of car travel. Please feel free to ask more about this!) or just need some company for an hour whilst your busy I currently have one cat, and shes very low maintenance. I get most of my experience from pet sitting for family members or volunteer work at shelters. I currently am able to pet sit in your own home and drop-ins for any animal, as well as solo walks for dogs (group walks can be discussed if the dogs know each other well or live together!) Your pet will be played with and loved, and above all, cared for
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 16. Neighbours, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets. I am very aware of animal resources in my community such as vet clinics, pet stores and dog friends parks. I currently work a 1 on 2 off shift pattern so I have 3-4 days a week free! I know my schedule well in advance and it very rarely changes. I have a fenced front and back garden. I have 2 dogs of my own to keep your pup company. I take my own dogs on at least 2 walks a day and would do the same with your fur baby too.
About: I’ve loved animals since I was a child and now as an adult am passionate about caring for your loved one and in their own home! I understand that whilst you’re away you’ll want the best care and love for your pet and home, so rest assured I can provide this. I’ve been a trusted dog/pet and house sitter for the last ten years and pride myself on making sure your pets are happily fed/watered/walked and loved in your absence. I work part-time so you’ve no need to worry as I won't have to leave your pets alone for long periods during the day. I will be looking after your pet(s) in their own environment, so taking out all worry of new surroundings, and all ground rules will be strictly adhered to.
“Elle is so lovely. We know our dog, Dexter can be a bit of a handful when it comes to walk. But he seems at ease coming back home..Elle said he barks but that is fine, that is good to hear. We will definitely book Elle again”
About: I take pride in working with animals, I’ve been working and helping out with different breeds of dogs, cats, reptiles and farm animals! I love getting to know all their different personality, I’ve worked with dogs with different types of behaviour issues and court orders! Pet care is my priority, I will always be sure to be there for your furry friend, If you need last minute visits I will always make sure that your pets will be seen to! When your pet is in my care I treat them like my own, I have a large garden with a 6ft enclosed fence to keep all your pets safe, I have my own vehicle which is large enough to carry large breed dogs safely!
About: Experienced and reliable dog carer with a strong background in both independent and structured settings. Previously ran a successful dog-walking business before transitioning into full-time travel, where I’ve spent the past three years pet-sitting and working with dogs across Asia, Australia, Central America, and South America. 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.

“Thank you Jessica, for another week of caring so wonderfully for Kizzy. I’m sure she has really enjoyed all the lovely walks, cuddles and attention that you and your family have given her. It has given me such peace of mind, while being on holiday. Thank you again.”
“Pedro was fabulous with our dog, and looked after him as though it was his own dog. He came home relaxed and happy even though we'd been away for over a week. I'd 100% recommend Pedro.”
“Our Pup Mila stayed with Samantha for 4 nights recently. Samantha is very warm and welcoming. Very knowledgeable about dogs with helpful advice. Attentive to Mila and all her needs. Samantha updates are amazing. A lot of videos and photos sent - which I really appreciate and enjoy receiving. Contact with Samantha was immediate. The whole process starting with a meet and greet is organised and accomodating. Mila settled well with Samantha and her lovely pack of pups. We will definitely book with Samantha again.”
“Otis is a bit anxious and always very busy so we were nervous about leaving him in someone's home, but right from the start Kristy put us at ease. Krisy gave us daily updates about long walks and swimming, which, as it was our first time was really appreciated. Otis will definitely be holidaying with Kristy again!”
About: I have taken care of dogs all sizes and ages including blind and elderly dogs. If I look after your dog you can be assured I will care for them as if they are my own! I am able to go on long walks and runs if this is something your dog enjoys. I have had dogs my whole life but only started looking after and walking dogs within the past 3 years. I work from home Mondays and Fridays and free most weekends, if you need your dog looking after outside of these days, this can be arranged with prior notice. I have a fully fenced garden with secure gate, pets will be allowed to roam freely through the house with no restrictions as I want them to feel as comfortable as possible.
“Chloe was lovely to deal with and very accommodating. We needed to book in at short notice and without time for a meet and greet prior. However she was very reassuring and kind and I had no hesitation leaving my dog with her. When I arrived she was very keen to understand my dog’s needs and sent me photos to keep me updated. We would highly recommend Chloe to anyone looking for a caring, warm and friendly dog sitter who has an adorable dog of her own to keep your furry friend company!”
“Lourdes was absolutely fantastic. My mum was very nervous about leaving Marcus, but Lourdes met him first and hit it off straight away, which settled all the nerves! Throughout the process, Lourdes kept us updated with plenty of pictures and updates. Marcus looked like he was having a fantastic time. We can't thank you enough!”
About: My family has had dogs and cats my entire life. Our previous pets were a beautiful cocker spaniel and a ginger male cat. Now our home has no pets and I would be happy to help with yours! I am an equestrian specialist and have just returned from global work. My entire BSc degree and then career has been shaped around animal training and care, please get in touch for any help you need! While living in the Caribbean, I would spend some of my time off helping at the dog shelter on my street. I would take the adult dogs out for day trips at the beach (it was so sweet!). I am currently in the office two days a week (wed&thur). For the rest of the week I can choose how much work I complete! This is a great time for me to help out with pets. They are able to have my full attention. We have a grass covered garden that is well fenced in. Directly next to our house we have many fields and lovely walks. I am happy to take on any of your pets routines so they are comfortable. There is a 9 and 12 year old in my home part of the time. The time they are here will change weekly. They adore pets, and are great with animals… please be in contact about wether any boarding will be around the children or not :)

Amy provided regular updates with pictures and you could tell Luna is taken care of and happy to stay with them. Luna will miss you both and is already looking forward to her next stay!”
“Michaela was absolutely fantastic and the the best dog carer we have ever used. Oscar was extremely well looked after, taken to parks and went on walks.

About: The reason i am a pet sitter is because I love getting to know and looking after all animals of many shapes and sizes. This is my only job and I have been looking after my mums and friends dogs and cats for years but have only been doing this professionally for a year. I am available 6 days of the week but wednesday. I have always gotten along and connected deeply with animals, even when just meeting them. I dont have any issues I've your pet is hyperactive, shy, not vaccinated, or not spayed, but I would like prior notice. You'll be glad to know i have never had to deal with an emergency situation but on the off chance i will collect your vettinary service and pet insurance if applicable. When it comes to anxious pets i will let them come to me in their own time and ofcourse let them do the sniff test first. If you are considering me for looking after your fur baby in my home, please note, my partner likes to come with me and pet sit beside me and if you are not comfortable with that please let me know. I live with my partner in a flat and we have two kittens who are shy to begin with but very welcoming to new animals. I can't wait to meet your gorgeous fluff babies, I would be very happy to hear from you and to be considered to treat, play, and look after your pets. This is my current job so I have plenty of availability and time to play with your dogs and cats. I am available for all the pet care you need. I have a spacious and open living/dining room and my bedroom door is always open when boarding for pets, I work with my partner as its always good to have extra support if needed. If your pet needs crating, I dont provide that in my home and cannot do this, if I am looking after your pet in your home I am able to follow your pets routine, whatever it may entail.
