About: I have been around animals all my life and was lucky enough to grow up with dogs, cats, horses, rabbits and hamsters- to name a few. I am a very loving, relaxed and laidback pet owner and love being around animals. I happily share my sofa and bed with my pets, so if that is something your dog would like, they would feel right at home when staying with me. My dog Oscar is a friendly and playful British bulldog and I also have 2 x 10 year old cats so any dog visiting would have friends to play with. I also have experience looking after puppies as well as older dogs. I work 4 long day a week but am free over the weekends to look after your dog. I generally walk Oscar once a day for an hour but sometimes he gets an additional half hour walk as well so can easily offer this for your dog. I have a large enclosed garden and space in the house to keep any dog separate from Oscar at nighttime if needed. There is also space for a crate if you prefer your dog to sleep in a crate.
“Just picked Nellie up after a weekend with Lewis. Love the home from home environment where she was well cared for and was sent updates and photos of her stay. Would definitely recommend Lewis. Thank you so much for looking after her 🐕😊”
“Tereza was a brilliant host for our dog Rossi. She is super-calm and immediately won over Rossi. She was great with communications and sent loads of photos. 100% recommended!”
“Five stars isn't enough for Sotiria! She took care of our dog, Bandit, during the bank holiday, and she was absolutely brilliant. Professional, caring, and Bandit clearly adored her. Kept us well updated and sent lots of cute pictures as well! We're so grateful and will definitely be using her again!”
“Athinoula has been absolutely brilliant in looking after our mini dachshund whilst we were away for our wedding 💍 we were given constant updates, reassuring us he was having the best time! Would highly recommend for anyone looking for a loving family to look after their pooch 😊 thank you so much!”
“Dimitra and her family have been absolutely amazing when they’ve looked after our boy. He’s always so happy to go there and it gives me such peace of mind knowing how well he’s going to be looked after. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”
“Poppy stayed with Victoria for a little longer this time. In new surroundings , she has been happy and sociable. Taken walks and lots of playing. Slept in Victoria’s bedroom so making it a real home from home. It was lovely to be able to relax and know Poppy was safe and well cared for. Her next holibob with Victoria is already booked! Thank you x”
“Julia was absolutely amazing with Safia ❤️ From the very beginning, she was caring, attentive, communicative, and incredibly thoughtful. She kept me updated throughout the stay with detailed messages about walks, food, water, playtime, and how Safia was doing emotionally, which gave me so much peace of mind, and the most thorough report about her day. She even washed and dried Safia’s blanket after a little accident without hesitation, such a kind gesture that truly shows how much she cares! Safia clearly felt comfortable and loved with Julia and her family, and it made me so happy to hear how well she got along with everyone 😊 I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better person. I would trust Julia again without a second thought and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, warm, patient, and genuinely loving with dogs. Thank you again for taking such wonderful care of Safia 🐾”
“Really amazing person . Always keeping me update about my puppy by sending me pics of him. Blaze was so happy and comfortable with him. He did a great job with blaze. I’m gonna keep my dog with him whenever I need someone to look after blaze. Thanks again”
“Ivana and her family get on so well with our dog Brian and we never have concerns leaving him there. They go out of their way to ensure they understand his needs, and accept his nature, which often involves time spent on his own. They give him his own space when he requires it and welcome him into their own lives when he's ready each day. We really appreciate the care and attention they give Brian and have a repeat booking in the calendar which is the highest praise.”
“Highly recommended! Aleksandra took care of my 1yo dog for a week and I couldn’t thank her enough for communicating daily of how Leia is doing and providing the best service!”

“I couldn’t have asked for a better experience for my first time using the app! Holly looked after my Winnie for 5 days and was absolutely brilliant from start to finish. She gave me regular updates, took him on lovely walks, and even treated him to a new toy, which he adored! Most importantly, she was so reassuring and responsive, which really helped ease my nerves about leaving him. You can tell she genuinely cares about the dogs she looks after. I’m so grateful for the love and attention she gave Winnie, I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again!”
About: I genuinely treat every pet like family—caring for them with love, patience, and attention to detail. I’m comfortable caring for senior pets, and keeping up with energetic puppies. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine and personality, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. You can count on me for regular updates, photos, and peace of mind! I work as a researcher during the day at the University of Leicester, and since I live on my own, pet sitting is a wonderful way for me to enjoy companionship during the evenings and weekends. I genuinely love spending time with animals—it’s relaxing, rewarding, and brings a sense of balance to my routine. I’m also currently raising funds for a medical mission trip to Uganda, so pet sitting allows me to contribute to a meaningful cause while doing something I truly enjoy. Your pet will be in caring, responsible hands, and you’ll be supporting a good cause too! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or at the owner’s home, my approach is always the same: make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I stick closely to their usual routines for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest to reduce any stress or anxiety. I give each pet plenty of attention and make sure their space is clean and cozy. If I’m in the owner’s home, I treat it with the utmost respect—keeping everything tidy and sending regular updates with photos, so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. Their wellbeing is always my top priority.
“Steve took great care of my dog. He is a kind and gentle dog sitter. He updates my dog regularly so I don't have to worry about my dog. I will definitely use Steve's services again in the future. Thanks Steve.”
“Eugene had the best time! Thoroughly spoilt and looked after so well! Both Konrad and his partner a clearly dog lovers who really know their stuff! They took on board all the little details and quirks about Eugene's behaviour and sent lots of updates, messages, photos and videos. Would highly recommend. If I could give higher than 5* I would.”

About: A proud owner of 7 cats and a dog. I have grown up around cats and kittens, with a huge love for cats and the love and comfort they can give us. I am the type of person who spends hours looking for my neighbour's cats if they ever go missing, because I genuinely care about the welfare of all cats. I have never been one to regularly donate to a charity, but I have consistently donated to Cats Protection because of their motive of having all cats treated with kindness and understanding their needs. A variety of my friends and neighbours will ask me to watch their cats on a regular basis, one of whom has 7 cats all with different needs. Some are indoor cats turned outdoor cats, indoor cats, or have free reign of the whole area.
About: I have cared for cats since I was 5 years old. I have kept cats for several years adding to my family. I have cared for cats with a range of issues from severely ill with congenital heart failure to perfectly healthy cats who live to play and cuddle. I have even reared several litters including premature kittens. I love cats of all sizes and temperaments and would be happy to look after your loved one.
“Beth looked after our furry family beautifully. Cats were happy and the kitchen clean. Great communication and photos while we were away. Will definitely be booking Beth again in future. Highly recommended. ”
“We are so grateful to Judith, she was wonderful. We were sent photos and a little update every day and our cat was really well cared for. Such a relief to find a reliable and caring person for our cat at short notice. Very happy!”
About: If you’re looking for a reliable and caring cat sitter, you’re in the right place. I’ve been around cats my entire life and they’ve always been a big part of my home and heart. From curious kittens to calm older cats, I understand the unique personalities and needs that make each cat special. I currently live with several cats of my own and have years of experience with everything from feeding and litter tray cleaning to grooming and playtime — always making sure they feel happy and secure. While studying animal care, I also had the chance to help raise a litter of kittens in a classroom setting. As a group, we were responsible for their daily care — feeding, cleaning, and keeping them entertained as they grew and learned. It was a great experience that helped me understand feline behaviour better and strengthened my skills in handling cats of all ages. Whether your cat is playful and active or prefers a quiet corner and some gentle company, I’m happy to adapt to their routine and preferences. I know how important it is for cats to feel comfortable in their own space, and I’ll make sure they get the same attention, respect, and care I give to my own pets. You can feel confident knowing your cat is in safe and loving hands while you’re away
“Elaine looked after our kitty again last week and did a fantastic job! Great communication and so good with cats, is great for our peace of mind when we are on holiday, highly recommended!”
“We had Rachel come and look after our cat Felix for the first time bank holiday weekend. Was so impressed from the moment we met her on the meet & greet. Rachel done a great job looking after our boy, she followed all our instructions, sent photos of him and left the house very tidy. When we returned Felix was a happy boy. Would have no hesitation in booking Rachel again and would definitely recommend. Thank you Rachel .”

About: I have around 3 years of experience caring for cats and really enjoy spending time with them. I’m happy to help with feeding, litter cleaning, playtime and check-ins. I’m patient and attentive, and I always make sure cats feel safe, comfortable and relaxed while their owners are away.
About: I have had cats all my life and currently have a 11 year old cat who has been a much loved member of my family since he was a kitten.

About: I am very patient and attentive to the animals in my care and very protective towards them. I treat them like I treat my own dog. I am retired and am at home all the time. I am available every day of the week but would need 3 days' notice. I am quite flexible with my time. My garden is fully enclosed and safe from any dangers like the wrong plants or chemicals. The nearest park to me is a very secluded and safe place.
About: I grew up with many cats, from the age of 3 until today. My first cat, Scampi, I had for 20 years from age 3-23 and we had many more through out that time. My current lovely cat babies are Leonardo DiCatrio (Leo) and Norma Jean. I have been looking after my sister’s cockapoo puppy for almost a year now when she is away and friends have relied on me to look after their dogs many times throughout the years. I have experience with small dogs such as a Jack Russell, medium dogs like my friend’s Australian Shepherd and Golden Retriever, as well as big dogs like Rottweilers. I have always been an animal lover and with my parents, we have fostered around 50 pregnant, injured or orphaned kitties for the rspca in their transitional period (from rescue until they are ready to find their forever home) ❤️ I am also used to administering oral medication and eye drops I have a flexible working schedule with work from home often an option and sometimes work evening events meaning I can care for pets both in the day and in the evening. I always make sure pets have access to a secure and familiar space so that they have a place to go to feel safe. I am calm, quiet and confident with pets and always willing to be patient with a pet as I am a new person coming into their home and recognise that this can be scary for them.
“I honestly can’t thank Elly enough for taking such amazing care of Albert. He’s a Border Collie x Lab and quite a nervous dog, and this was the first time he’s ever been left away from me, so I was really anxious about it. Elly was absolutely brilliant from start to finish – so patient, kind and understanding with him. I got regular updates and photos which really put my mind at ease, and it was clear Albert was in safe hands. When I picked him up after Monday to Friday, he was happy, settled and comfortable, which says everything. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Elly to anyone, especially if you have a nervous dog. I’ll definitely be booking again!”
“Today was the first time my 5 month old puppy had been left with anyone. However I needn’t have worried, Demi and Leonard took really good care of her and kept me updated with photos during the day. Molly has come home a very happy puppy and we look forward to seeing you again soon.”
“Steve was fantastic with our puppy Hugo. We needed someone fairly close by and able to take a puppy, as he’s too young for kennels. Steve was really friendly and has an obvious love for animals. He kept us updated throughout the day and whatsapped some great videos. Thanks Steve, will use you again in the future!”
“I left my very nervous little dog with Amanda for the first time but the photos and videos I received during the visit put my mind at rest, she was obviously having a great time playing with Amanda’s dog Milo. Looking forward to seeing you again soon.”
“Couldn’t fault Alexandros, took Lulu on so last minute, she’s also in season and was wearing a nappy so she didn’t bleed all over the house and he took it off so she was more comfortable. Gave me constant updates throughout the day! Will book again”
“My first time with any dog sitter. Chloe was very attentive to my dog’s needs and communicated very efficiently. She was taken out and photo supplied to show Mochi happily sitting in her sling carrier. Will definiately be using Chloe’s services in the coming months.”

About: We have always had dogs. I love taking care of them (and if I could I would have 100)! Whether it’s energetic pups who love long walks, senior dogs who need a gentler pace, or shy pets who require patience and reassurance, I adapt my care to each dog’s unique needs. I understand the importance of trust when it comes to your furry family member, so I treat every pet as if they were my own. I am currently working full-time so my flexibility is limited through week days. However I am fully flexible on weekends and more than happy to take care of any furry angels! I live by myself in a flat which is spacious enough for small and medium dogs. We have a backyard where the dog can play and I love taking the dogs on walks. No one will be involved in dogs’ care but me.
“Sotiria is amazing! She is so kind and treats our little Archie with such care. She picked him up and took him to her place when we were away and was available on short notice when something unexpected came up. Archie adores her and she feeds him and sends lots of updates and pics. 5 stars :)”
About: I’ve had pets since childhood — including dogs, cats, and rabbits — from energetic puppies to senior animals who need extra patience, care, and attention. For me, pets are family, and that’s exactly how I care for them: with love, respect, and dedication. I have hands-on experience with feeding, medication, hygiene, and understanding animal behavior, always adjusting to each pet’s individual needs. I’m passionate about animals and truly believe in the unconditional love they give us. For me, caring for them is a joy — and also a great responsibility that I carry out with the affection they deserve. I work flexible hours for a company based in another country, which allows me to take on walks or pet visits at scheduled times without any problem. During the week, I’m available in the mornings or after I pick up my daughter from school, which is also a great time for park visits and walks. I’m available to care for pets both during the week and on weekends, including for longer periods if needed, always with love, responsibility, and full attention. When I care for a pet in their own home, I always respect their space and routine, following the owner's instructions closely to keep everything as familiar and stress-free as possible. I'm very mindful of safety — paying close attention to doors, gates, windows, and anything that could pose a risk. During walks, I always keep pets on a leash and go at their pace, ensuring they feel comfortable and secure. I value open communication with pet owners and provide regular updates, photos, and notes so they feel confident and at ease while I’m with their pets. For me, the animal’s safety, comfort, and well-being always come first.
About: I have many years of hands-on experience caring for animals, both through volunteering at an animal shelter and privately for friends and family. Working with animals has always been an important part of my life – something I truly enjoy and find deeply rewarding. I currently dedicate most of my free time to animals, simply because I love their company and genuinely care about their well-being. As a student with a flexible schedule, I have plenty of time to spend with the pets I look after. I understand how important routine, attention, and patience are when it comes to animal care. Each pet is unique, and I always do my best to understand their personality and needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and at ease in my care. Your pet will have full access to my home. I also have a quiet, private room where pets can relax whenever they need their own space – a great balance between comfort and calm. Whether it’s an energetic dog that needs long walks or a shy cat who prefers a cozy corner, I adapt to what makes each animal feel best.

About: A bit about me: I had a beloved dog, Mely, for 10 years. When Mely fell ill, I was by her side every step of the way, ensuring her comfort and well-being. This experience gave her a deep understanding of prioritizing a pet’s health and happiness. I grew up surrounded by dogs and cats, I adore every single one of them. For the past 10 years, Veris, my oldest cat, has been a cherished member of the family. I've also rescued and cared for an injured stray cat, covering all the veterinary costs to nurse it back to health. Hello! I'm Kyriakos, Master’s student at DMU and passionate animal lover.

About: I’ve been caring for pets for years, and I do it alongside my girlfriend, so your furry friend will have double the love and attention 🐾. We’ve cared for animals of all ages – from mischievous puppies to wise, senior dogs – and know how to make them feel safe, happy, and part of the family. Every pet is unique, and we make sure walks, playtime, and cuddles are tailored to their personality. With us, your dog or cat won’t just be looked after – they’ll be spoiled a little, loved a lot, and always treated like part of our pack. ❤️ Pets are always part of my daily routine 🐾. Mornings usually start with a walk or some playtime to help them burn off energy and feel happy. Mealtime, cuddles, and mental stimulation are also key parts of the day, making sure every pet feels loved and cared for. Since my girlfriend and I both work from home, pets are never left alone and are fully included in our daily rhythm. Walks, games, training, and quiet time together are all part of our week, keeping them happy, comfortable, and engaged. I make sure feeding times are on schedule and strictly follow the owner’s instructions. Walks are done at a pace that suits the dog – whether it’s a power stroll or a sniff-around adventure. And when the dog’s had enough running and fetching, we can always chill out together and watch Lassie Come Home – emotional support goes both ways, after all. Safety and trust are our top priorities. Whether caring for pets in our home or yours, we make sure they are always in a secure environment, with routines followed carefully so they feel comfortable and happy. We treat every animal with patience, kindness, and respect, just like they were our own. In our home, we have a fully fenced garden where pets can enjoy safe, supervised playtime. 🐾
“Thank you Richard, I can tell Safia had a lovely day. Richard kept me updated with pictures and messages throughout the day, you can see the level of care and attention. Would definitely use again.”

“Lewis has been so kind and lovely with our Cavapoo, Snoopy - both walking and offering daycare at very short notice. His love of animals shone from our first communication and I was immediately at ease (as was Snoopy). I would highly recommend Lewis, and without hesitation, we'll certainly be calling on him again soon.”
About: Hi! My name is Rosie, and I’ve been passionate about caring for animals for as long as I can remember. I’ve gained hands-on experience through nearly a year and a half of voluntary work at a doggy day care, where I helped with feeding, cleaning, and keeping the dogs happy and entertained. What began as school work experience quickly turned into a long-term opportunity, as the staff invited me to stay on after I finished school. I also spent three months working on a farm, where I handled, fed, and cleaned a variety of animals as part of my training. I’ve completed my Level 1 Animal Care qualification and began working toward Level 2 before taking a job in retail, with plans to return and complete my studies. Alongside my practical experience, I’ve always had animals in my life — currently, I share my home with several dogs and cats, and have grown up around animals since childhood. I’m kind, reliable, and truly love caring for animals, which is why I’m excited to offer my services as a pet sitter. You can trust that your pets will be treated with the same love and attention I give my own x Even though I currently have a part-time job, caring for animals is still a big part of my everyday life. I take full responsibility for my own pets at home, making sure they’re fed, clean, healthy, and happy. Pet Care fits perfectly into my routine as it allows me to continue doing what I love — working with animals — even while balancing another job. My goal is to eventually pursue a full-time career in animal care, and this is a great step toward making that dream a reality. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always treat the space with respect and aim to make the animals feel safe and secure. I follow any routines or instructions provided closely, as I know consistency is important for their well-being. I take time to build trust with each pet, using calm body language, gentle handling, and positive interaction. I make sure the environment stays clean and hazard-free, always keeping an eye out for anything that could affect their comfort or safety. My priority is to make sure both the pets and their owners feel confident and relaxed while I’m in their home.
“Beth was absolutely fabulous with my puppy and, like others have said, the best walker we've found on Rover. Enzo took to her really quickly and she was amazing at keeping us updated during her visit with him with videos and photos. Highly recommend!”
About: Hi I'm Bethany, I am located in Great Glen and have 10 years pet experience. I look forward to hearing from you and can't wait to meet you and your pet! This is my full time job, your pet will have one to one care always. All pets have different needs and wants, and I’m here to make sure they are met. When looking after a pet in their home I’m happy to stick to their routine, I’m there one to one for whatever they need whilst you are away.
“Sapphire was really quick to respond and made herself available to walk Tato on very short notice which was a big help! Tato had a great time and came back tired out and ready to wind down for the evening. Thanks again!”
About: Having cared for a mixture of dog breeds of differing sizes most of my life, I have the experience needed to cater for the most loved dogs around. Services include long, exciting walks in the finest natural areas Leicester has to offer. I currently focus exclusively on pet care so I can commit all my time towards providing the best service needed for your beloved pets :) I am located just outside of Knighton Park, giving me a perfect place to take your dog out for long walks to burn off all your dogs energy. I can be flexible with house sitting and will make sure to create a fun and safe environment for your pet with lots of play.
About: I have had cats since I was 5 years old and dogs for 3 years. I have handled everything from feeding and cleaning to birth and feeding newborns every two hours. I even have experience nursing a cat with congenital heart failure. I have a trained Afghan hound who can be off leash, so I am no stranger to stubborn active “untrainable” dogs. I am currently free with no commitments and so if needed can take on same day booking for walking and check ins. I will always update my availability. I will always follow the instructions and requirements given by owners. I understand the level of trust placed by owners to anyone they entrust the care of their beloved pet or their home environment and therefore understand that communication is vital. I will always give a report about the walk / check in and will update owners on any injury or out of the ordinary behaviour. My vast experience permits me to recognise canine and feline body language paying attention to the small details.
About: Alongside caring for my own cat, I have regularly looked after friends and family members cats and dogs. This has included feeding, providing fresh water, cleaning litter trays, taking dogs for walks, playing with pets to keep them mentally stimulated, providing companionship, and following any specific care instructions or routines. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, so I always take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I currently work full-time, but I work from home three to four days each week, which gives me flexibility to provide walks before work, during my lunch break, and after work. I am also available on weekends and can dedicate quality time to caring for pets during those periods. Working from home also means I can be responsive and reliable when arranging visits and communicating with owners. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust the person looking after your pet. I will always treat every animal as if they were my own, ensuring they receive plenty of care, patience, attention, and affection. I am reliable, responsible, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. Whether it’s an energetic dog who loves long walks or a cat who prefers quiet companionship, I will always adapt my approach to suit their individual needs and help them feel relaxed and happy while you’re away.

“Celeste helped me out last minute by walking my pup. Communicated really well and took him on a great walk. Clearly knows a lot about behaviour and training. Would highly recommend. Eugene isn't always the easiest to walk due to his age and size and she was great!”

“The lovely Nadia, and her equally lovely daughter, walked Stan for me this morning, and did such a great job! It was my first time using this app, and she really put me at ease. They popped round to meet Stan the day before (and got on like a house on fire), so he was mega excited to see them again this morning! I'll definitely be hiring Nadia again, and would highly recommend her services! Stanley has 2 new best friends :)”

About: I have been around animals all my life and was lucky enough to grow up with dogs, cats, horses, rabbits and hamsters- to name a few. I am a very loving, relaxed and laidback pet owner and love being around animals. I happily share my sofa and bed with my pets, so if that is something your dog would like, they would feel right at home when staying with me. My dog Oscar is a friendly and playful British bulldog and I also have 2 x 10 year old cats so any dog visiting would have friends to play with. I also have experience looking after puppies as well as older dogs. I work 4 long day a week but am free over the weekends to look after your dog. I generally walk Oscar once a day for an hour but sometimes he gets an additional half hour walk as well so can easily offer this for your dog. I have a large enclosed garden and space in the house to keep any dog separate from Oscar at nighttime if needed. There is also space for a crate if you prefer your dog to sleep in a crate.
“Dimitra and her family have been absolutely amazing when they’ve looked after our boy. He’s always so happy to go there and it gives me such peace of mind knowing how well he’s going to be looked after. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”
“Julia was absolutely amazing with Safia ❤️ From the very beginning, she was caring, attentive, communicative, and incredibly thoughtful. She kept me updated throughout the stay with detailed messages about walks, food, water, playtime, and how Safia was doing emotionally, which gave me so much peace of mind, and the most thorough report about her day. She even washed and dried Safia’s blanket after a little accident without hesitation, such a kind gesture that truly shows how much she cares! Safia clearly felt comfortable and loved with Julia and her family, and it made me so happy to hear how well she got along with everyone 😊 I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better person. I would trust Julia again without a second thought and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, warm, patient, and genuinely loving with dogs. Thank you again for taking such wonderful care of Safia 🐾”
“Highly recommended! Aleksandra took care of my 1yo dog for a week and I couldn’t thank her enough for communicating daily of how Leia is doing and providing the best service!”
“Bethany really looked after our cockapoo well, he was welcomed into their home and we were kept updated with regular pictures. He looked right at home! 💙. I would definitely trust her to look after him again. Thank you.”
“Eugene had the best time! Thoroughly spoilt and looked after so well! Both Konrad and his partner a clearly dog lovers who really know their stuff! They took on board all the little details and quirks about Eugene's behaviour and sent lots of updates, messages, photos and videos. Would highly recommend. If I could give higher than 5* I would.”
“Highly recommended. Our Oakley had a great time with Polly and her 2 teenagers. He instantly took a liking to her, which for Oakley is rare. Oakley came back to us relaxed and happy. We will certainly use Polly again in the future!”
About: Dogs have literally been my whole world. Growing up... I had everything from my mum's sassy little sausage dog to big, bouncy German Shepherds. My proudest moment? Adopting a retired police dog... and at one point, having three large dogs under my roof all at once. I live for the chaos! Love playing, training, talking to them (full conversations, obviously!), and walking them endlessly until their tongues are hanging out. Here's the thing... I'm petite. But walking these big, powerful dogs actually gives me the bravery to explore Leicester properly. Dogs show me pathways and hidden spots I'd never find alone... and in return, I keep them safe, exercised, and happy. Now I'm settled on Vaughan Way, right in the city centre, and I've been loving discovering Abbey Park, the riverside, and every green patch Leicester has to offer. I'd genuinely love for your pup to be my next walking buddy. I'm actually out of work right now, so my schedule is completely open! I'm on this whole healthy self-betterment wave, and honestly, breaking up my day with a good dog walk would be amazing for both of us. Noon or night, I'm totally flexible and happy to fit around your pup's routine. Let's get those tails wagging! Safety is literally my number one priority. I've had three large dogs at once, including a retired police dog... so I know how to read their body language and keep them out of trouble. On walks, I stay totally focused on the dog, no phone scrolling, just me and your pup exploring Abbey Park, the riverside, or wherever they love to sniff. I keep them on a lead unless you say otherwise, and I always carry poop bags and water. Honestly, I just want them to feel safe, happy, and completely themselves while you're away.
“Seb was with Milena for a night and most of a second day, Seb absolutely loved it! Milena was very attentive to Seb’s needs and she kept in touch with me throughout the time with updates including pictures. Milena is highly recommended, would not hesitate to book again!”
“Amazing communication, through out! Eugene had the best time staying over, and was a very happy puppy when he came home. Lots of fab photos of walks, cuddles, and play. Richard and Bee clearly both love dogs and know a lot about them! Would definitely rebook!”
“I can’t recommend Dipali and her husband enough! They were absolute lifesavers when our original dog sitter canceled on us last minute, just before our holiday to Morocco. Despite never having met us or Pablo before, they kindly agreed to take him in without a meet-and-greet, and at such short notice. From the moment my brother dropped Pablo off on Friday evening until we picked him up on Tuesday, Dipali and her husband provided the most loving and attentive care. They kept me updated with regular photos and messages, which gave me total peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that Pablo felt completely at home—he was so happy and comfortable that he’s actually crying the front door wanting to go back! Dipali and her husband truly have a passion for dogs, and their kindness and dedication shine through in the way they care for them. I’m beyond grateful for their help and will definitely be booking with them again. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Pablo!xx”
About: I bloody love animals. No, really. Working with animals is probably the only career I could get out of bed for on a daily basis. I've looked after pets of all varieties for about 20 years. Dogs, cats, budgies, chickens, ducks, hamsters, guinea pigs, rabbits - I even rode horses once. I am a psychologist by profession, and have a BSc and MSc degree. I work full time as a researcher in the Leicester/Nottingham area, and work primarily with mental health and personality disorder. It is because I'm a psychologist that I realise how important it is to spend time with animals. Just their presence is invariably good for psychological well-being, and come on, a dog skidding around on a floor is better entertainment than any TV. I think these dogsitting sessions would be fantastic, as it gives me a chance to help you while your pet brings a bit of joy to someone else. I am trustworthy, responsible and hardworking, and I live in a stable home with my partner; I am fully DBS checked and have experience working with children and vulnerable groups. Anything I can do to reassure you your pet is in good hands - I will. Drop me a message and let's work something out.
