“Rosie, our Old Tyme Bulldog, stayed with Amanda and her family for a week while we went on holiday. We would highly recommend her. Amanda and her family clearly love dogs and Rosie had a great time. Amanda sent us regular updates, photos and videos throughout the week so we didn't have to worry whether Rosie was okay as we had videos of her enjoying herself. It was really reassuring. Great communication throughout. Rosie will definitely be staying with Amanda again and we'll be checking her availability before we book our next holiday :-)”
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.
“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!”
“We have just picked up our little fur baby after he spent some time with Steven and his family! Woody clearly enjoyed himself and we got plenty of updates about Woodys adventures. We couldn’t of asked for a better family to look after our little boy, Steven asked questions and for information on Woody to make sure that he made Woody feel as comfortable as he possibly could on his stay and dealt with Woody being anxious at first. Thankyou for everything you and your family have been truly amazing. I would give you 100 stars if I could!!!”
“I can’t thank Sonia enough for stepping in at the very last minute to look after my French Bulldog, Pablo. With no time for a meet and greet, I was a bit nervous leaving him with someone new — but Sonia immediately put me at ease. She was incredibly responsive, professional, and most importantly, kind and calm with Pablo, who can be a bit of a diva sometimes! I got regular updates and photos, and it was clear he was relaxed and happy in her care. Finding someone so reliable and caring on such short notice is rare, and I feel very lucky to have found Sonia. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again — highly recommended!”
“Another happy holiday for Poppy with Victoria. Due to breakdown on route home we could not get back to collect Poppy at the scheduled time. No worries with Victoria around. She saved the day by having Poppy another night and waiting for us to return. Can’t beat the at for care and consideration can you? Lots of photos and updates of their expeditions together in the fields and trips to the village. Hoping Victoria will be free next month for another holibob.”
“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 🐕😊”
“Another booking and once again everything was perfect - Karma just absolutely loves it with Demi and family… we are so overjoyed!! Lots of pics sent by Demi for us and plenty of walks for Karma!!”

“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.”
“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 🐾”
“Aleksandra and her partner did such a wonderful job looking after my 6 month old puppy! I was regularly updated and treated to pictures and videos of all the lovely experiences and interactions they gave him. I would 100% use them again, thank you so much. PS. Their cat is awesome!”
“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!”
“We needed last minute boarding for our two dogs and Robert & Amy saved the day! We got plenty of pics and updates while we were away so we knew they had settled in. Very much appreciated the flexible and friendly service and would recommend.”
“We couldn't be happier with the care Bethany provided! Milo was so happy and settled the entire time he was with her. We appreciate her brilliant service a lot and would definitely recommend Bethany to anyone looking for a reliable dogsitter.”
“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.”
“First time my dog has stopped with chloe and from my first encounter chloe was so lovely and welcoming. I knew my dog was in great hands. She came back extremely happy and well looked after. Will definitely be booking again”

“Christina was lovely. She is a very caring and knowledgeable cat sitter. She sussed our cat's two very different characters straightaway. Good communication and photos after every visit.”
“Lois was excellent, despite our kitty deciding he wasn’t going to be his usual friendly and playful self, Lois still visited every time and completed all that was asked and even above and beyond what we would have expected! If you need a sitter for your pet and are worried about leaving your furry friend with a stranger then look no further, Lois is great and we would definitely use her services again (if she will have our naughty cat!)”
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. Looking after him has given me years of hands on experience with feeding, grooming, administering basic care, recognising changes in behaviour, and ensuring he is happy, healthy and comfortable. Alongside caring for my own cat, I have regularly looked after friends and family members cats.
“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!”
“This was our first time away since getting our cats so we were a little nervous. We received an update from each visit with photos and returned home to a tidy house with two very relaxed cats waiting on the windowsill as we walked in. Really happy and would definitely use Rachael again”
“Sapphire was great with my cat Whiskey! She was very reliable, and gave us a peace of mind while we were on holiday by providing regular updates on him & his activities including eating habits. We will definitely rebook Sapphire again in the future! (:”
“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 .”
“Cannot recommend Becky enough. She came over to meet our cat, Twinkle, before our trip and took notes and let Twinkle have a good sniff. When we were away it was such a weight of our shoulders knowing that Becky would be visiting. She sorted her food water and litter and also spent time giving Twinkle some fuss. She updated us daily with lovely photos and to let us know Twinkle ate and drank. Most importantly, Twinkle seemed to get on super well with Becky. I will definitely be using Becky again and will be telling all our friends and family about her service!!”
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: Me and family have owned various cats over the years of different breeds. I have cat sit family and friends cats while on holiday and daytrips so have plenty of experience of cat needs.
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.
“Gemesia was absolutely wonderful with our cat. Our shy girl completely loved her and was spoiled with play and cuddles. She kindly sent daily updates and we had a completely stress free holiday knowing our cat was being lovingly cared for. We cannot overstate how grateful we are🐱💛”
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

Sonia sent updates and photos throughout the day so I could see Buddy was really settled and having fun. I would definitely recommend Sonia and we have already rebooked for a day next month.”
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.
“Absolutely amazing, frankie loved going to doggy day care with Demi and her family. We are so lucky to of gained such a lovely family to have our little fur baby - hopefully be back with them all next year with our newest addition to the family too ❤️❤️❤️”
“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!”
“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.”
“Steve was absolutely brilliant. He helped us out at late notice when we were desperate and was so accommodating. He clearly loves dogs and gave Rolo everything he needed to feel at home!”
“My dog Leah settled in really quickly with Megan and I felt completely at ease leaving her with her. She sometimes can bark at new people or take a while to warm up but she didn't at all. Would definitely recommend Megan and ask her to have Leah again!”
“Dropped Leia off yesterday for the first time. Wasn’t sure how she would be as she doesn’t like being left with just anybody but she was fine. Chloe took her for a walk and gave her dinner as requested and Leia seemed happy. Was in contact leading up to the booking and on the day, so good communication. Will definitely book again.”

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’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.

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: 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.

I have grown up with two cats and surrounded by the dogs and cats of family/friends, meaning I am very comfortable pet sitting and have lots of experience, which creates a relaxed atmosphere for pets to feel safe and most importantly happy!

“Rosie, our Old Tyme Bulldog, stayed with Amanda and her family for a week while we went on holiday. We would highly recommend her. Amanda and her family clearly love dogs and Rosie had a great time. Amanda sent us regular updates, photos and videos throughout the week so we didn't have to worry whether Rosie was okay as we had videos of her enjoying herself. It was really reassuring. Great communication throughout. Rosie will definitely be staying with Amanda again and we'll be checking her availability before we book our next holiday :-)”
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.
“We have just picked up our little fur baby after he spent some time with Steven and his family! Woody clearly enjoyed himself and we got plenty of updates about Woodys adventures. We couldn’t of asked for a better family to look after our little boy, Steven asked questions and for information on Woody to make sure that he made Woody feel as comfortable as he possibly could on his stay and dealt with Woody being anxious at first. Thankyou for everything you and your family have been truly amazing. I would give you 100 stars if I could!!!”
“Another booking and once again everything was perfect - Karma just absolutely loves it with Demi and family… we are so overjoyed!! Lots of pics sent by Demi for us and plenty of walks for Karma!!”
“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 🐾”
“Aleksandra and her partner did such a wonderful job looking after my 6 month old puppy! I was regularly updated and treated to pictures and videos of all the lovely experiences and interactions they gave him. I would 100% use them again, thank you so much. PS. Their cat is awesome!”
“We couldn't be happier with the care Bethany provided! Milo was so happy and settled the entire time he was with her. We appreciate her brilliant service a lot and would definitely recommend Bethany to anyone looking for a reliable dogsitter.”
“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.”
“Elly was absolutely brilliant with my greyhound Nev- he had such a good time with Dolly and friends that he was reluctant to leave when I came to pick him up!! I received regular updates throughout and would absolutely book Nev in with Elly 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!”
“Polly was so lovely and accommodating. Made a real effort with our dog. He wanted to stay when we went to pick him up!!! Will certainly be staying with Polly again if she’s available.”
“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”
“Bobby had a great time with Agnieszka. He doesn't normally like to be away from me, but he was really well looked after and made to feel at home. He even ate all of his dinner which is great considering he is a fussy eater. I was kept up-to-date with photos too. From now on Bobby will only stay with Agnieszka!”
“Milena looked after my dog Kara for a day & night and I couldn’t have asked for better care. She sent me plenty of updates and photos throughout, which gave me real peace of mind. Kara had a wonderful time playing with her dog Sky and her kids, and got lots of cuddles too. Kara is double-coated so struggles in the heat, it was 28 degrees so I was especially impressed that Milena was so thoughtful- she used a cooling blanket and even gave her some frozen blueberries and watermelon to keep Kara comfortable. It’s clear Milena genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. I’d happily leave Kara with her again and would recommend her without hesitation”
“Yuvi and her husband are lovely. Left teddy in Yuvi’s care overnight and he had a lovely stay with plenty of walks. Yuvi kept sending photo updates of Teddy throughout the stay and he looked happy and calm. Would definitely recommend ???”
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.
“Levi looked to have a great time, I received lots of photos of Levi on walks and relaxing with lots of toys and dogs to play with. Will certainly reach out when I need another sitter. Thanks for having him and providing a great week for Levi”
“Claire was able to help us out last minute which we were incredibly grateful for. She was super quick to respond to all my messages and I felt really confident our boy was in very safe hands. Our boy, Charlie, had a lovely holiday where he seemed to be welcomed as one of the family! I would have no hesitation recommending Claire and we will happily book again in the future.”
