“I highly recommend Joshua. He is a very competent pet sitter, he followed all my instructions and he loves animals. Next time I’ll book him again for my pets. Thank you for your patience and your help.”


“Stephanie looked after my cat, Rupert and went above and beyond. Rupert really took to Stephanie and enjoyed her company. He got plenty of fuss and cuddles. I got daily updates on how he was doing with lots of photos. I’ve returned home and he seems more calmer after I’ve been away. I totally recommend Stephanie to look after your cat/dog needs while you’re away.”


About: My partner and I have been raised alongside furry friends our entire lives, sadly we lost our pet of 14 years a while ago and whilst we are not ready to have another of own just yet, we do have a lot of love, snuggles and care to give whilst your away from them. I currently work from home so have plenty of time to care for your furry friend. If required, we can provide 3 walks per day with frequent toilet breaks during the day in a secured walled/fenced large garden. The morning walk will be before 08:0 with a walk at lunch (20 mins) and a longer walk in the evenings once my partner Martin returns home. We have parks locally and some fantastic long walks around Thrapston lakes. We have looked after a variety of dogs (and cats) and totally understand that every dog is different with their unique quirks, needs, wants and levels of attention, every visit is tailored to their needs whether just for the day or boarding overnight. We will ensure your dog is cared for as if our own and provide video/picture updates if required. I have completed a CPD Dog First Aid course and we have a doggie first aid kit on hand for any emergencies. I also have Pet Business Insurance with Protectivity, please ask if you would like to see a copy of the policy. The day would start with a walk before work (before 08:00) then your pets would be settled with me whilst I work from home. They will have access to the whole house and can lay peacefully on the couch in my study or in their own comfy beds if they want company or can retreat into their own space and watch the world go by out of the bay windows in the lounge. They would have frequent toilet/play breaks, lots of fussing and attention and a short lunchtime walk before a longer evening walk after work. My partner and co carer, Martin will join us on this evening walk which is usually taken around the local lakes or nearby parks. Snuggles and playtime in the evening before final toilet break, treat and bedtime. I have a fenced and walled garden which is totally secure, we currently do not have any pets of our own so yours will be our priority and we will only take pets from the same family in one booking. We will only bored dogs that have completed a meet & greet and the opportunity to walk on lead. This to make sure both your dog is as happy with us as we are with them. Whilst we will always try to accommodate a home from home experience and have toys/beds/treats available please ensure you pack their favourite toy/blanket or even an item of clothing that gives comfort to your pooch whilst your gone.

“Tracey was excellent with communication and I loved receiving pictures and updates. A lovely, friendly, trustworthy sitter who I would not hesitate to recommend to others. Pepper was happy when I got home but had clearly been looked after.”


“Saffron was very reliable and looked after Oakley well. We received regular updates after every visit and the photos were also reassuring. I would definitely ask Saffron to look after Oakley again in the future. Oakley also enjoyed her company.”


About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs — including my own Persian cat and family dogs while their owners were away. As an empath, I connect easily with animals and understand their needs. I’ve never not been around animals and regularly house sit my sister’s Cockapoo’s. Running my own business gives me the flexibility to be reliably available for your pet, with plenty of care and attention. As a self employed business woman, I have the freedom of picking and choosing my hours. With grown up children, my availability is more open. I have a fenced secure garden in a quiet area. Available to crate any dogs required. An outdoor cat who has his own space to roam.

“It was great to have Kirsty look after our two girls, she was very enthusiastic and lovely. Both cats gave her the seal of approval which can be difficult as one of them is very nervous of strangers. I would definitely recommend and use again.”


About: I have been pet visiting for over 4 years and have loved many pets of my own over my lifetime including dogs,cats,rabbits, birds and guinea pigs. I am caring, capable and dependable when it comes to your pet’s care and needs. I have my own liability insurance and am DBS checked. I offer a free meet and greet , where we can discuss all your pets needs. I offer a visiting service which can include feeding, giving medication, toileting, litter tray cleaning , hutch cleaning and of course lots of love and affection for your pets. Weekends and evenings are where I have most of my availability. References upon request. As I’m already busy with visits in the day I thought I’d add evenings and weekends to my schedule. The evening idea came from working with an owner who does shift work, it made me realise not all pet care is done during the day and I like to be versatile when it comes to pet care. I am owner lead when it comes to the safety of their pets . I will follow all instructions on gate closure, crating, stair gates , garden security and door locking . If medication is to be given I will follow and perform precise instructions from the owner.

“Can’t thank Lauren enough for looking after our cats and tortoise whilst we went away. She was extremely flexible and went above and beyond to make sure they were looked after and given plenty of company . Updates were great and our cats settled with her straight away! Highly recommend x”


“Olivia took bc care of Bertie and Brian very well, and posted some wonderful photos. The cats were calm and stress free, being able to stay in their own home while we were away. Highly recommended sitter”


About: I’ve looked after dogs for years, from terriers to spaniels and Labradors. I’ve worked with gundogs and small dogs too! I love them all ! I’m currently only working part time, from home so am happy to have your lovely dog to stay, or looked after in your absence ! My garden is totally secure, with absolutely no escape! There is no way to get to the front from the back - no escaping !

About: I am an experienced home boarder of over 9 years, licensed by North Northants Council (License Number 21/00355/AWBH), and have been awarded a 5 ⭐️rating. I've been raised alongside dogs. I have an abundance of repeat customers with happy dogs. I often see the owner having to drag them away from my door because they want to see me which is a testament to my treatment of them. Always plenty of walks, lots of fuss, cuddles and playtime. DBS checked. Also experienced in house sitting, pet visits and dog walking. I have looked after many dogs over the years with behavioural and/or walking issues and I always endeavour to try to get to the root of their issues with lots of reassurance, love and common sense. If house sitting, I am happy to cater for any other pets also at the property at the time of visiting. All dogs for home boarding or doggy daycare must have an up-to-date vaccination certificate. Also, dogs staying in excess of 3 nights, will be subject to a trial night beforehand to ensure that we bond together well (usual rate fee to be paid). Please also remember that my fees include the additional cost of my licence from the Council with all relevant updating and approvals carried out, full and comprehensive public liability insurance, plus the fact that I am not caring for your dog as an additional second income, or because I’m working from home- it’s because I’m passionate about dogs and their welfare 🐾🐶💕 Bookings are already being taken for 2024, so please book early to avoid disappointment. All meet and greets are free of charge, available at a convenient time for you, even at weekends. My days are entirely devoted to your dogs. I occasionally have other dog walks for Clients, but I will include your dog, if at all possible. It is unusual for dogs to be left alone for more than an hour as my partner and sister are on hand to help. All dogs are treated as part of the family. If allowed on furniture at home, then they are at mine. I endeavour to stick to the owners routine and requirements at all times but, ultimately, its the happiness and welfare of the dogs that is important to me.


About: We’ve always had dogs but recently lost ours to old age and a stroke. The kids love animals but our family travels and we felt it would be better to help others with their dogs than get another for ourselves while the kids are young. We love walks and have a 2 acre garden which is perfectly suited to any type of dog large or small! We both work from home so have lots of cuddle time available for the dogs we care for as well as ample time available for lots of walks in the huge amounts of Countryside Surrounding our home. With walks in Tywell hills and Dales, walks to the Drayton Estate, and onwards to other surrounding villages your pet will never be short of exercise! As a dog owner i’ve trained dogs in agility, flyball and obedience and consider myself to be an experienced handler of Collies, Staffordshire bull terriers and British bull dogs. We are open to any breed but they need to be happy to be around children and not nervous.

About: Have loads of years looking after family, friends and neighbours pets, aswell of my very own pets of course! Being around animals is a gift to me! I work a 4on 4off work, starting at 6am and finishing at 7pm on work days, will be more than happy to do as much as possible when not at work! I have work as a carer before, as home visits caring for people, so I'm quite familiar with keysafes and alarms. I'm also aware that each house, person, and pet will have their own requirements and I'm happy to follow any rules, or requests.

About: I’ve had animals in my life since I was born so I understand the love and responsibility it takes to look after your pets. I’ve had about 3 years experience of pet sitting and live at home with my family with 5 dogs! So I have lots of experience caring for animals. I’m a hybrid worker so I’m in the office on Tuesdays and Wednesdays and work from home the rest of the week. If you’re local I can do drop ins and walks before work, on my lunches (when I’m working from home) or in the evenings. I can do overnight stays any day of the week. I will care for your pets in your home, treating them as if they were my own and making sure they’re comfortable and feel safe with me! I am fully insured.

She would always go out of her way to make sure the dogs were comfortable, I very much doubt any other sitter would show this much care”
