“Kellie and Andy were great and our black lab Alfie absolutely loved his time with them. They were very quick to reply and also asked questions to understand what Alfie needs in order to take best care of him. We got daily updates which were lovely - Alfie seemed so happy. It went so well that we’ve rebooked for our little boy to stay with them again. Would definitely recommend them, they are lovely 🐾 ♥️”
“We had full confidence in Jackie and Amanda the moment we met them. They are obviously experienced and genuine animal lovers. They took care of our treasured Cocker Spaniel Louis for 10 days whilst we were abroad and kept us fully updated with photos and messages each day which gave us complete peace of mind. I would absolutely recommend! Thank you again Jackie and Amanda.”
“Very friendly and relaxed dog sitter, which was great for my more anxious dog. I got regular updates and my dog came back after clearly having a great time. Over three days my mind was absolutely at ease with Jas taking care of my dog. He was also very flexible when I was caught in traffic and late for pick up. Overall, I couldnt rate his professionalism and care of Joiner any higher.”
“Pippin was very well looked after by Leonidas and seemed to have a lovely time and came back very happy and tired out! We appreciated the daily updates and easy communication. Many thanks!”
“Third time leaving Brooklyn (3yr gsd/husky mix) with Lauren and Matt. Second time for an extended period. Everything was just perfect. Highly recommended. Thanks again Lauren and Matt!”
“Nathalie was absolutely amazing with Nala while I was on holiday, she took care of her like her own and Nala had a great time. We got daily updates and she even went above and beyond to train Nala off the lead. Thank you! Highly recommend and would 1000% use again x”
“10/10! Pablo was so well looked after, we felt so comfortable with him staying with Angelika from the moment we dropped him off. We received regular updates and photos. Will 100% be reaching out to book him in for holidays again! Thank you 😊”
“As always, Teddy had an amazing time. Teddy can't wait to visit again. It's nice to know that we can go away and relax knowing he is safe and having fun. I would recommend to anyone.”
About: I’ve looked after dogs with all sorts of personalities, from playful and energetic pups to gentle, cuddly companions. I enjoy getting to know each dog and making sure they feel comfortable, settled and happy in my care. 🐾 I’ve always loved animals and enjoy spending time with them. I love getting to know each pet — whether they’re playful, cuddly, energetic or a little shy! 🥰 I work from home full time and am also home on weekends, so your pets get plenty of walks, playtime & cuddles throughout the day! I’m happy to follow their usual routines and make sure they feel safe, settled and at home. I treat each pet like one of my own and make sure they have a fun and comfortable stay. 🐶🐾❤️ I want every pet to feel safe, relaxed and completely at home during their stay. I’ll also keep you in the loop with regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your little one is happy, comfortable and being well looked after. 🐾
“Dotty really enjoyed her stay with Anna. She’s very professional and you can tell that she really cares about dogs. She kept us updated with lots of pictures and videos throughout her stay. Will be using her again 😊”
“Pippin was as well looked after and cared for as ever! We love the photos and never have any concerns. Pip almost pulled our arm off she was so happy to arrive and see Jess.”
“Fiona was fantastic! Her and her family were really welcoming and we felt very safe leaving Lenny with her. Lenny is an incredibly energetic, adolescent puppy who needs structure and boundaries to help manage his excitement and she was brilliant at maintaining this for us. She gave us lots of reassurance and really helpful training tips too - we could tell she had plenty of experience in raising happy, well behaved dogs. We would highly recommend her and will definitely be using her services again!”
“Fantastic, thank you Jude. Bella seemed to be perfectly looked after and it was lovely to receive photos of her whilst we were away. Highly recommended, in fact we've already booked Bella's next stay!”
About: Both my wife and I grew up with dogs, have loved and looked after them our whole lives, and are the proud dog paw-rents of our miniature poodle called Walnut. Prior to getting a dog of our own, we spent years eagerly looking after dogs of our friends, family, and strangers who were kind enough to let us play with their furry friends. It is safe so say we are both highly experienced in looking after dogs, and have looked after breeds of all types and sizes over the years (Golden Retrievers, Poodles, Terriers, Dachshunds, Border Collies, Havanese, German Shepherds, French Bulldogs etc. etc. the list goes on!) We both now have very flexible jobs that allow us to work from home and give our dog and yours the love and attention they need throughout the day. We live in a large house with small garden, in a quiet leafy neighbourhood a 5 minute walk from Ravenscourt Park, and only a 1 minute walk away from Wendell Park. If we're lucky enough to look after your special friend we can assure you they will get plenty of walks, playtime, cuddles and attention throughout the day! I work full time from home, but have plenty of time in the day to take your furry friends for walks in the park and to make sure they're happy and looked after. Our large 5 bedroom home is dog friendly and safe, and includes a fenced garden. Our dog Walnut is very sweet and calm, and gets on very well with other dogs and people.

“Eleanor was so lovely, she was really communicative and kept me up to date with pictures. Betty had a wonderful time with her, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to others.”
About: My family had cats the past few years, but since I don't have any right now, I miss them terribly and just love being around them. I would be happy to care for your cats right in their own home while you are away on holiday, or even drop by to keep them company while you are at work. You can trust me to keep them thoroughly entertained, pampered, and updated with regular photos so you can relax and enjoy your day.
About: I’ve cared and owned cats for as long as I can remember. I’m comfortable with cats of all different kinds. I’ve owned bengals, moggies, kittens, elderly cats so I have a lot of knowledge on different cats needs however I know every cat is an individual so I will care for your pet as you wish. They will get fuss, play, or just some strokes and company. I will respect their routine. I am reliable, trustworthy and will treat your home and animals with all the respect they deserve.
“Kelsey was great looking after our furbaby during a heatwave. She sent regular photos and asked us if there was anything else we needed to tackle the heat. We’ll be booking her again :)”
About: I offer reliable drop-in visits for cats, giving owners complete peace of mind while they are away on holiday or at work. I have cared for cats throughout my life and understand how important it is to respect their unique personalities, boundaries, and routines. In addition to personal experience with household pets, my background in animal husbandry and welfare gives me a calm, patient approach to feline care. During drop-in visits, I handle fresh food, water, litter box cleaning, and gentle play or quiet companionship—depending on whether your cat loves attention or prefers their own space. I am dedicated to keeping your cat safe, happy, and relaxed in their home environment.
“Jackie looked after our cat Jamu for a week and voluntarily decided to split the one hour visit into two half hour visit as she thought that was better for Jamu who on the first day seem anxious. This was very nice and much appreciated”
About: Although I’m new to professional pet sitting, I’ve always been very comfortable around cats and have spent plenty of time caring for and interacting with them. I’m patient, attentive and respectful of their individual personalities, and I understand that some cats love attention while others need a little more space and time to feel comfortable. I’m reliable, caring and will treat your cat as if they were my own, making sure they’re happy, safe and well looked after while you’re away. I’m also very happy to follow your usual routines and instructions so that their time without you feels as normal and stress-free as possible.
“charlotte & molly are simply amazing - taking notes upon first visit and very attentive to all the little details, sending updates and spending quality time with the cats, keeping them happy and myself at ease knowing they will take care of everything ”
“Ellie was very good when I had to leave my two Yorkies home alone for 3 days over Christmas. Ellie came in in the morning to administer meds, walk and feed the 2 dogs. Then she returned twice more during the day, even on Christmas Day, to give meds and feed when necessary. i enjoyed received photo updates, and Ellie always put a little note with the photos. I would definitely use her again, especially as she is so local”
About: I have a Foundation Degree and Level 3 qualification in Animal Management, with a strong understanding of feline welfare, behaviour and care. I’ve also regularly cat sat for friends, family and others over the past eight years, caring for cats with a range of personalities and needs.
“I couldn't be happier with the care my three cats received from Marsela! From the moment we met, it was clear that Marsela genuinely loves animals and takes her responsibilities seriously. She kept me updated with regular messages and photos, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. All three of my cats were happy, relaxed, and clearly very well looked after when I returned. Marsela took the time to understand each of their individual personalities and routines, and it really showed. My home was left spotless, and I felt confident throughout my holiday that my cats were in the best possible hands. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Marsela to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional cat sitter. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of my furry family, Marsela!”
“Everything you could hope for. One of the cats isn't exactly friendly so it would have been difficult to pay him too much attention but the other clearly enjoyed a little love and play and they are both still as chonky as when I left so food was definitely had! Jessica keeps you up to date throughout brilliantly and I am glad she is coming back next weekend for more of the same.”
About: I’m Sophie, 28 and love animals! I work in construction but around early mornings and late evenings. I would happily provide care, treats and cuddles while you are away! I have a Labrador who is 3, and a spoilt boy so I understand how important it is to know your pet is in good hands!
About: Growing up I have always lived in a household full of loving dogs. I have learnt a lot about training puppies and dog care and will look after the ones that matter the most to you as though they were my own pets. I will take the dogs for solo walks unless you have multiple dogs from the same household and will always come prepared with my own bio-degradable poop bags as a pawcaution. Satisfaction Guaranteed; I'm always prepared for any dog's needs and ensure that your fur baby will received the best care and love. Their happiness and health is my priority. Reliable and Trustworthy; When you live a busy life, it is hard to consistently provide the attention and care your dog may demand. You can rely on me to provide the highest quality care while you're away.
About: I am lucky enough for my friends and family to have chosen me to care for their furry friends when they are away from home, some local, some further way. For many years I volunteered at Woodgreen Animal Shelter and Cats Protection helping care for their animal guests. I love walking outside in nature with my doggie friends, come rain or shine and having cuddles with cats and other animals when they decide its human time. I love the unique personality each animal has and seeing that grow as they become confident around me. I am currently self employed and can adapt my schedule to ensure I have plenty of time to walk, and play and care for your animals. I feel its very important to follow your guidance for the care of your animals, (and your home) and ensuring consistency of the day such as rules, meal times, walks, medication times, etc. I am very confident in caring for a range of animals with differing needs and temperaments. I have worked with animals for over 20 years in a range of capacities including owner, carer, healer and animal communicator. I am qualified in Animal Healing (& teach this), Bach Flower Remedies for Animals and Animal Communication.
“Megan looked after our cat Mabel recently and we cannot thank her enough! Megan went above and beyond for Mabel and treated her like royalty! As if Mabel were her own cat. Megan spent time playing with Mabel, brushing her fur, giving her treats and even got her some new toys. We will most definitely be booking Megan again when we next go away and will recommend to family and friends. Thank you again Megan!”
About: I've had my own cat, Milo, for 4 years now, he is truly part of the family. He has a very big personality, and, like most cats, he is convinced that he owns the house, and to be honest, he is right. We simply live here and follow his rules. Having Milo has taught me how much cats have their own little personalities, routines and ways of showing affection. I love getting to know each cat's unique character and making sure they feel happy, comfortable and cared for.
About: I have been lucky enough to share my life with pets since I was little. My family currently consists of me, my partner, our two cats and two gerbils (so those relationships need managing well!) I regularly look after other animals as well including cats, kittens, dogs, puppies, and rabbits. The tasks I do when caring for them include feeding, playing, cleaning, cleaning up after, walking, and cuddling! I am attentive and always aim to ensure the pets are healthy, and feel loved and happy. I work from home and my schedule is very flexible and determined by me, so I have plenty of time to set aside to care for your animal(s)! I am adaptable, so should you wish me come to your house to care for your pet(s) I will ensure I have a full list of any requirements so they are well cared for. If you wish for your pet to stay with me in my home, they can socialise with my fur babies or I can keep them in separate rooms from my cats if necessary. If you have a dog that sleeps in a crate I am happy to accommodate that too.
“Chloe was a brilliant cat sitter to our cat Bella. Excellent communication, very reliable. We booked her last minute but she managed to pop round to meet us before we went away. We had lots of photos and updates while we were away and Bella sat on Chloe’s lap which is a mark of approval!”

“Leigh came to meet my dog before my dog’s stay - much appreciated. The weather was extremely hot so she kept her cool and safe. Leigh kept in touch during the day and was considerate and flexible with pick up time.”
About: We have both been around dogs for as long as I can remember and have cared for all kinds of personalities — from bouncy, energetic walkers to calm, cuddly sofa companions. Friends, family and neighbours have trusted us to walk, feed and look after their dogs, and we genuinely love spending time with them. We have my own rescue pup who is around 9 years old and happy to have company. We are reliable, patient and always make sure dogs feel safe, happy and relaxed whilst you are away. Whether your dog needs long sniffy walks, playtime, routine and structure, or just plenty of fuss and reassurance, they’ll be treated like one of our own. We have two children 8 and 14 who are very happy to throw and ball and give extra fuss. Both children understand the boundaries with unfamiliar dogs and we are careful to make sure that they are always supervised with your dogs. We offer home boarding in a relaxed, family environment where dogs are truly part of the household. We work opposite shifts meaning dogs are never left for long periods and always have company, routine and attention. We are very lucky to have various outdoor areas around our house that dogs can explore freely. It is secure so even on hot days where a walk isn’t possible, we have a large secure sheltered paddock where we can walk and play with the dogs. I am a wellbeing dog handler for Hertfordshire fire and rescue so I have had the best training from dogs trust in various areas and have up to date skills and knowledge from all up to date research. Daily walks/play and cuddles are absolutely non-negotiable. Your dog’s safety, comfort and happiness are our top priorities. Our home has ample space, including additional separate areas if a dog needs extra room, quiet time or a slower introduction. We have a 9-year-old dog, Rolo, who is playful, friendly and happy to have company with the right introduction. All introductions are done calmly and carefully, and dogs are never left unattended together. If needed, dogs can be comfortably separated in their own space. We follow routines closely, are careful with feeding, walks, doors and supervision, and we always provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your dog is safe, settled and well cared for.
“Jackie was amazing throughout Nova's day with her and kept me informed with lovely messages and photos. Nova bonded with Jackie straight away and had a brilliant time. I thoroughly recommend Jackie and will definitely be booking her again. Thanks so much.”
“Sam looked after my golden retriever puppy again for her third daycare and as always, Poppy had a great time. She got lots of extra long walks and I got lots of lovely photos. Poppy loves going to spend the day with her!”
“Shakira had the best day with Elena. Walking, swimming, meeting other dogs, lunch outdoors, visiting horses. Elena kept her physically and mentally stimulated. She sent loads of pictures and videos throughout the day and she has taken the greatest care of my fur baby. I would definitely recommend Elena! Thumbs up!”
About: Available week days and weekends to look after your dog or cat. Love walking / running and socialising. Previously owned two dogs, but I have for many for friends. Unfortunately unable to have one full time due to our work in London but keen to help you when needed! Please give me notice so I can make arrangements! Pet care fits into my weekly routine as I am frequently exercising (walking / running). I work from home so will not leave your dog or cat unattended. Enjoy staying in, socialising with friends and working out. Have an enclosed garden and live on a quiet road. So I can provide outdoor space to your dog. Own a car and able to drive for emergency assistance if ever required. I also live close to outdoor fields and trails which are great for long walks.
About: Experienced Pet Care with a Love for Animals Growing up on a house surrounded by a variety of animals, I’ve been caring for dogs since I was young. My love for nature and long walks makes dog walking a perfect fit for me. I was previously a full-time dog sitter, and thanks to my dedication and love for pets, I was always fully booked. After taking a break, I’m excited to be back, offering services such as Dog Walking, Drop-ins, and House Sitting at your place. I’m passionate about being around dogs and cats, and I have a special love for horses. If you’re looking for a caring and experienced pet sitter, feel free to message me to book a meet and greet! 🐾🐈🐶 Pet care is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine, as it aligns perfectly with my lifestyle and passion for animals. I structure my day around the needs of the pets I care for, ensuring they receive consistent attention, exercise, and care. Morning walks are a great way to start the day, providing both the dogs and me with some fresh air and physical activity. Throughout the day, I schedule drop-ins and additional walks, depending on the needs of each pet. Evenings are often reserved for house sitting or another round of walks, making sure each pet feels comfortable and settled for the night. My love for being outdoors and spending time with animals makes pet care a fulfilling and enjoyable part of my routine, allowing me to stay active and connected with nature while ensuring the well-being of the pets I look after. When caring for pets in a pet owner’s home, I focus on creating a comfortable and familiar environment for them. I follow the pet owner’s instructions closely, maintaining the pet’s regular routine, including feeding times, exercise, and any special care they require. I ensure the home is safe and secure, and I spend quality time with the pets, providing them with attention, playtime, and affection.
“A fantastic dog sitter who was so accommodating and kind. This is our second time booking and we will definitely be booking again. We were updated throughout the day with photos and a couple of videos and it was so lovely to see. She is very responsive to messages and has taken superb care of our boy. Thank you again! He had the best day 🐶 🐾 ❤️”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life, with two chihuahuas, a border collie, golden retriever and Jack Russell in my family, so I’m very comfortable with dogs of different sizes, personalities and energy levels. I am particularly familiar with and interested in working and herding breeds such as collies and shepherds. Over the past five years, I’ve also looked after dogs for friends and neighbours, including walking, feeding, playing with them and making sure they feel happy and comfortable while their owners are away. I currently share a retired military Belgian malinois, Charlie, with my aunt and uncle, which has given me even more experience with intelligent, energetic and active dogs. He stays with my aunt and uncle on any days that I’m dog sitting, so he won’t be present at the home while I’m caring for your dog. He may join us on walks if this is something you are happy with. I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual routine, whether that means energetic walks and playtime or plenty of cuddles and company. I’ll treat your dog with the same care and attention I’d want for my own, and I’m also happy to provide regular updates while they’re in my care I work flexibly from home and have plenty of time for walks and playtime. I am available all day Tuesday to Thursday. I will have no other dogs at home during these times. Pets will be under my supervision at all times. I have a secure, fenced garden and I only look after one dog at a time. I don't let dogs off lead until I can be confident in their recall with me. This will often involve taking them to a secure field after getting to know them for a while, and practicing recall. I keep a well stocked canine first aid kit at home.
“Fiona was great with Rocky! She made us both feel at ease from the moment we met her and Rocky had a great day. He is looking forward to his next play date and his little holiday there in a few weeks! Highly recommend.”
“Junique was great with Lexi who immediately took to her. Junique kept me updated with regular updates & pictures throughout day & Lexi appear very happy & settled when collected her. Would definitely use again knowing Lexi in very safe hands.”
About: I am currently on maternity leave so have the time to spend with your furry babies! Cats are my favourite animal and I have my own fluffy girl called Binky. I can’t walk past a cat in the street without kneeling down and psst pssting them for a cuddle. I have experience caring for dogs and frequently help out friends with drop ins and dog walks when needed. Your doggy can expect countryside walks and lots of fuss and attention. I’m currently on maternity leave so have a lot free time to care for your furry babies! I already spend a lot of time out walking so it would be great to have a furry companion and explore some different areas. I’m available for one off bookings or longer term arrangements depending on what you need. I will follow the instructions you provide and take the time to earn your pets trust inside and out of your home. I’ll provide updates and ensure clear communication of any issues.
“Snoopy was so happy with Sarah and her lovely dogs and had a great time! We had been worried he might be a bit unsettled being with someone new for the first time but we were completely reassured by Sarah’s updates throughout the day and he came home a very happy chappie who slept very well that night. Would definitely recommend Sarah to all”

About: With over 13 years of experience as a dedicated dog owner, I’ve cared for pups of all shapes and sizes – from cuddly Cavalier King Charles Spaniels to energetic Labradors. I’m the go-to pet sitter and dog walker for my family, always ready for a stroll, playtime, or a cozy cuddle session. I understand the importance of routine, trust, and personalised care, and I treat every dog like part of the family. Whether your pup is playful, shy, or senior, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well-exercised while you’re away. Your pet’s comfort and routine comes first. I work from home Mondays and Fridays, so your pet gets plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I’m also flexible on evenings and weekends, making it easy to work around your pet’s routine. Whether they need long walks, playtime, or a calm companion, I’ll tailor my schedule to meet their needs. When your pet is with me, they’re treated like family. I understand how important it is to feel confident that your furry friend is safe, loved, and well cared for. I’ll take the time to get to know your pet’s routine, personality, and needs – whether they love long walks, gentle play, or just quiet company. I’m patient, reliable, and always prioritize your pet’s comfort and happiness. From giving plenty of belly rubs to keeping them active and engaged, I aim to make your dog feel right at home. I also keep you updated with photos and notes, so you always know how your pet is doing. Clean, calm spaces, fresh water, regular potty breaks, and lots of love are all part of the experience. Whether I’m walking your pup or watching them for the day, I treat every pet as if they were my own.
About: I work part-time so I am very flexible. I have experience walking and looking after a variety of dog breeds for family members and friends (including: border collie, dachshund, Dogue de Bordeaux). I own a border collie so I am comfortable with high energy dogs. I have experience volunteering at dog centres across South East Asia, walking and caring for multiple dogs at one time. I’m currently working part-time, I am available daytime a few days a week. I can also be available for evenings or longer stays. I have a car if needed to transport your dog for walks. I am happy using crates if your dog is comfortable in one. I am happy to meet up prior to walking your dog to gain trust and make sure the dog feels comfortable.
About: Hello! I’m the proud dog-mummy of a beautiful beagle (and 2 humans!). I’m a reliable and caring animal lover offering dog walking and pet sitting services. I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m experienced with dogs of different sizes, and energy levels, and I’m happy to tailor walks and care routines to suit your pet’s individual needs — whether that means long active walks, slower paced strolls, playtime, feeding routines, medication support, or simply providing companionship and reassurance. I pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and attentive. I’ll always keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands. Services I offer include: • Dog walking • Drop-in visits • Pet sitting • Feeding and fresh water • Playtime and companionship • Regular updates and photos I know every pet has their own personality and routine, and I take the time to make sure they feel comfortable, secure, and cared for. I work from home so am available at short notice and for regular visits. Can’t wait to hear from you! I work from home Monday - Thursday and can happily fit in walks or pop ins during the day. I would also be happy to keep your pets company for longer periods during the day (so long as I can use your wifi and you are happy for me to bring my laptop!). I can be available evenings and Friday-Sunday on request but would need some more notice to fit this in. I have experience training and walking my incredibly lively beagle. I am confident with any care instructions, feeding and toileting habits (no judgement here!). I would treat your home and your pet as if they were my own!
About: I have had family pets since I was a little girl, we have had fish, guinea pigs, cats and dogs so I've experienced all different ways of looking after all our friends! I am a qualified dental nurse so I am very used to caring for people in my day to day life, handling medication, dealing with high stress situations and following instructions as led by you. My aim is always to create a calm and zen atmosphere to reduce anxiety and bring the fun and games when needed, I am also training in yoga which implements a joyful energy into all aspects of my life. I understand how important routine and structure is for animals, I am trustworthy and will promise to treat your furry friends as if they are my own. I just came back from a 4 month trip around Southeast Asia which ended with me gaining my Yoga teacher certification. I am currently not in a Dental Nurse role and am planning to start teaching yoga part time to gain experience, this means I have a lot of free time and flexibility each week. I am able to drive and travel to your house to come and look after your pets however, I am currently living in my family home with two of my own pets (a cat and a dog) so I am unable to board pets in my own home currently.
About: I previously had a wonderful senior dog, so I understand that not every dog wants (or can manage) long walks. As he got older, we adapted his routine to suit him, with shorter, gentler walks and plenty of time to sniff and explore at his own pace. He was also deaf in his later years, so I became very aware of how important it is to approach dogs calmly and thoughtfully to avoid startling them. That experience taught me to be patient. Whether your dog is young and full of energy or enjoying their senior years, I'll always take the time to get to know them and make sure they feel safe, comfortable and happy. I'll be available Friday to Sunday evenings, making me a great option for weekend walks, drop-in visits or evening care. I'll always make sure your pet gets the time, attention and care they deserve, and I'll keep you updated throughout. Your pet's safety and happiness will always come first. I have a fully fenced, secure garden where dogs can safely enjoy some outdoor time. I'll always follow your pet's usual routine, whether that's feeding times, medication, favourite walking routes or any little quirks that make them unique. I understand that every pet is different, so I'll take the time to get to know them and make sure they feel safe, comfortable and loved while they're in my care.
“Kelsey was great, Willow really liked her, she was great at helping her get over her nerves at the beginning of the walk. Really punctual, Willow seemed to have a lovely time, would definitely recommend :)”
“Our pup Kina had a great couple of walks with Ffion! She was very easy to communicate with and was flexible to fit our schedule. Kina obviously loves her walks with Ffion and we have no reservations having her look after Kina in the future.”
About: I offer reliable local dog walking and drop-in visits, keeping your pets happy, active, and well cared for while you are away or at work. I have owned and loved dogs for years and have personally fostered rescue dogs, including assisting with specialized hydrotherapy and physiotherapy care for a foster dog's rehabilitation. In addition to caring for household pets, I have practical hands-on experience in animal husbandry through my volunteer farm work, which has a strong focus on animal welfare and hands-on education. This rich background gives me great confidence, patience, and a calm, clear understanding of animal behavior, special medical or physical needs, and routine. Whether it’s an energetic walk or a quiet drop-in visit to check food, water, and play, I treat every dog with the highest level of care and attention. As a single mum, my pet care schedule is designed to fit perfectly around school hours. I am primarily available for dog walking and drop-in visits during the daytime on weekdays. This setup allows me to give your dog my full, undivided attention while you are busy at work. I am flexible, reliable, and will always do my best to accommodate your dog's regular feeding, walking, and toilet routines. Because I offer walking and drop-in visits, your dog stays completely comfortable and secure in their own familiar environment. When visiting your home, I am highly respectful of your property and security routines. On walks, your dog's safety is my absolute priority. My background in farm animal welfare, fostering, and canine rehabilitation (including physiotherapy) means I am highly vigilant, patient, and completely confident handling dogs with special medical or behavioral needs.
About: I may not have formal “professional” experience yet, but I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life, from pugs to German Shepherds, and have always loved caring for them. I’ve looked after my own two dogs, who are 13 and 8 years old, so I’m very comfortable with the day-to-day care, routines and different needs that come with looking after dogs. I’m hoping this is the beginning of a future career working with animals, as my long-term dream is to become fully qualified and eventually have my own doggy daycare. I’m excited to gain more experience, meet lots of lovely dogs and, most importantly, make sure every dog I look after feels happy, safe and well cared for 🐾 I’m currently working full time but work from home Mondays and Fridays. My weekends are free and I can usually be available in the evenings too :) I am only able to to have one pet in my own home as I live with my parents, but if offering care in your house I will treat it with the utmost respect and according to whatever rules you set!
“Noah seemed to have a great time on his walk, and it was super helpful for me while I’m at work. It’s also great to get quick replies when my work can change around last minute”
About: I have been lucky enough to share my life with pets since I was little. My family currently consists of me, my partner, our two cats and two gerbils (so those relationships need managing well!) I regularly look after other animals as well including cats, kittens, dogs, puppies, and rabbits. The tasks I do when caring for them include feeding, playing, cleaning, cleaning up after, walking, and cuddling! I am attentive and always aim to ensure the pets are healthy, and feel loved and happy. I work from home and my schedule is very flexible and determined by me, so I have plenty of time to set aside to care for your animal(s)! I am adaptable, so should you wish me come to your house to care for your pet(s) I will ensure I have a full list of any requirements so they are well cared for. If you wish for your pet to stay with me in my home, they can socialise with my fur babies or I can keep them in separate rooms from my cats if necessary. If you have a dog that sleeps in a crate I am happy to accommodate that too.
“Sonia was lovely with my mini-schnauzer Lola and took her on some nice gentle walks. It was great getting the little updates after each walk. I really appreciated Sonia’s flexibility and kindness when my plans changed at the last minute, and will definitely be asking her for help with Lola in the future.”
“Henry was brilliant with our rescue dog who can be a bit nervous around people and new dogs. He kept us updated throughout and was reliable walking our dog as planned. Thanks so much!”
About: I'm a remote worker with a flexible schedule, which means I can commit properly to house sits. There's no rushing back and forth, and no leaving pets alone for long stretches. Since I work from wherever I am, your home and animals get consistent company and attention throughout the day. I grew up around animals of all kinds, including dogs, cats, horses, rabbits and more, so caring for pets isn't new to me, it's second nature. On the dog side specifically, I've got hands on experience across the full size spectrum, from sausage dogs to Great Danes, so whether you've got a lap sized companion or a gentle giant, I know how to look after them properly, from exercise needs to feeding routines and everything in between. I have my own car, so I'm happy to travel to sits further afield, handle vet runs or emergencies if needed. I also offer cleaning as an additional service ahead of your arrival home. I'm happy to provide references on request. I'm an active person, so pet care fits naturally into my day. I like to start with a walk before my working day begins, then fit in another towards the end of the day, adjusting timing and length depending on each pet's exercise needs. Throughout the working day itself, since I'm remote, pets have company and I'm on hand for feeding, playtime, or anything else that comes up. Whether I'm in a pet owner's home or my own, my priority is keeping to the animal's normal routine as closely as possible. Changes in environment can be unsettling for pets, so I make a point of sticking to their usual feeding times, walk schedule, and any habits they're used to, rather than imposing my own. Before a sit, I like to go through everything with the owner: feeding amounts, any medication, behavioural quirks, vet details, and emergency contacts, so I'm fully prepared and know exactly what to do if something unexpected comes up. I treat the home with the same care and respect I'd want shown to my own, keeping it secure, tidy, and exactly as I found it. I'm happy to send regular updates and photos during a sit, so owners have peace of mind while they're away. And since I have my own car, I can get to a vet quickly if there's ever an emergency.
About: Hi Everyone, I know how important it is to have your furry family members looked after when you’re away from home. It can be a very anxious time. I decided to offer a dog sitting service so I could help other owners like me have a trusted and experienced animal lover look after their dogs with the love and care they deserve. Speaking from experience, when you're away from home, you want to know your fur babies are being loved and treated as if you were there! My mum, Jackie has joined me on this venture and so no matter what, we will always be available to help! We both work remotely in Finance and luckily have extremely flexible hours to suit your needs. We have 4 cats of our own (Luther, Wilbur, Phoebe and Doris). We rarely ever call them by their names as we’re always talking silly with them! Luther is a diabetic so we’re experienced with administering medication and injections. We also have 2 dogs that are rescues from Romania! I’ve previously volunteered at Blue Cross helping the various cats and kittens - such a memorable experience! We’re happy to cover Baldock and many surrounding areas so do get in touch. Your furry guys will be treated as if they were our own and I can tell you now ... they live better than we do!! :) During our visits, we would spend as much time as needed making sure your doggos were happy. We'd have a long play and a cuddle but along with that would go feeding, water bowl changing, giving treats (if allowed of course!) and pictures and video updates while you’re away. We will happily provide the best service that will keep your mind at ease about your fur baby. We will also send multiple updates per day as well as adorable pictures of your adorable pup!
About: I’ve had 30 years of experience of being a dog owner. Ranging from small breeds such as a westie to a Rottweiler. I regularly walk and sit my sisters Australian labradoodle. Pet care fits comfortably into my routine, allowing me to give your dog my full attention during visits and walks. I aim to be flexible where possible and communicate clearly about availability to ensure reliability and consistency. Your dog’s safety and wellbeing are my priority at all times. I follow routines carefully, respect feeding and medication instructions, and ensure secure handling on walks. I take a calm, attentive approach and always assess environments for safety. If your dog is comfortable travelling in the car, I’m happy to incorporate walks in nearby green spaces for variety and enrichment. Transport would always be discussed in advance and carried out safely. Clear communication is important to me, and I will keep you updated so you feel confident and reassured while your dog is in my care.
“Jessica walked our dog Mikey while we were away for a couple days. She was always very easy to communicate with, sent lots of pictures and made us feel at ease. Will be using her in the future. ;)”
About: I am currently on maternity leave so have the time to spend with your furry babies! Cats are my favourite animal and I have my own fluffy girl called Binky. I can’t walk past a cat in the street without kneeling down and psst pssting them for a cuddle. I have experience caring for dogs and frequently help out friends with drop ins and dog walks when needed. Your doggy can expect countryside walks and lots of fuss and attention. I’m currently on maternity leave so have a lot free time to care for your furry babies! I already spend a lot of time out walking so it would be great to have a furry companion and explore some different areas. I’m available for one off bookings or longer term arrangements depending on what you need. I will follow the instructions you provide and take the time to earn your pets trust inside and out of your home. I’ll provide updates and ensure clear communication of any issues.

“Kellie and Andy were great and our black lab Alfie absolutely loved his time with them. They were very quick to reply and also asked questions to understand what Alfie needs in order to take best care of him. We got daily updates which were lovely - Alfie seemed so happy. It went so well that we’ve rebooked for our little boy to stay with them again. Would definitely recommend them, they are lovely 🐾 ♥️”
“Very friendly and relaxed dog sitter, which was great for my more anxious dog. I got regular updates and my dog came back after clearly having a great time. Over three days my mind was absolutely at ease with Jas taking care of my dog. He was also very flexible when I was caught in traffic and late for pick up. Overall, I couldnt rate his professionalism and care of Joiner any higher.”
“Third time leaving Brooklyn (3yr gsd/husky mix) with Lauren and Matt. Second time for an extended period. Everything was just perfect. Highly recommended. Thanks again Lauren and Matt!”
About: I’ve looked after dogs with all sorts of personalities, from playful and energetic pups to gentle, cuddly companions. I enjoy getting to know each dog and making sure they feel comfortable, settled and happy in my care. 🐾 I’ve always loved animals and enjoy spending time with them. I love getting to know each pet — whether they’re playful, cuddly, energetic or a little shy! 🥰 I work from home full time and am also home on weekends, so your pets get plenty of walks, playtime & cuddles throughout the day! I’m happy to follow their usual routines and make sure they feel safe, settled and at home. I treat each pet like one of my own and make sure they have a fun and comfortable stay. 🐶🐾❤️ I want every pet to feel safe, relaxed and completely at home during their stay. I’ll also keep you in the loop with regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your little one is happy, comfortable and being well looked after. 🐾
“Dotty really enjoyed her stay with Anna. She’s very professional and you can tell that she really cares about dogs. She kept us updated with lots of pictures and videos throughout her stay. Will be using her again 😊”
“Pippin was as well looked after and cared for as ever! We love the photos and never have any concerns. Pip almost pulled our arm off she was so happy to arrive and see Jess.”
“Fiona was fantastic! Her and her family were really welcoming and we felt very safe leaving Lenny with her. Lenny is an incredibly energetic, adolescent puppy who needs structure and boundaries to help manage his excitement and she was brilliant at maintaining this for us. She gave us lots of reassurance and really helpful training tips too - we could tell she had plenty of experience in raising happy, well behaved dogs. We would highly recommend her and will definitely be using her services again!”
About: Both my wife and I grew up with dogs, have loved and looked after them our whole lives, and are the proud dog paw-rents of our miniature poodle called Walnut. Prior to getting a dog of our own, we spent years eagerly looking after dogs of our friends, family, and strangers who were kind enough to let us play with their furry friends. It is safe so say we are both highly experienced in looking after dogs, and have looked after breeds of all types and sizes over the years (Golden Retrievers, Poodles, Terriers, Dachshunds, Border Collies, Havanese, German Shepherds, French Bulldogs etc. etc. the list goes on!) We both now have very flexible jobs that allow us to work from home and give our dog and yours the love and attention they need throughout the day. We live in a large house with small garden, in a quiet leafy neighbourhood a 5 minute walk from Ravenscourt Park, and only a 1 minute walk away from Wendell Park. If we're lucky enough to look after your special friend we can assure you they will get plenty of walks, playtime, cuddles and attention throughout the day! I work full time from home, but have plenty of time in the day to take your furry friends for walks in the park and to make sure they're happy and looked after. Our large 5 bedroom home is dog friendly and safe, and includes a fenced garden. Our dog Walnut is very sweet and calm, and gets on very well with other dogs and people.
“Corinne did a fantastic job watching Poppy. She gave frequent and detailed updates with pictures and videos. I could tell that Poppy was being cared for well and that Corinne was attentive to her needs. Thank you so much for watching our lil Poppy 😊”
About: I previously had a wonderful senior dog, so I understand that not every dog wants (or can manage) long walks. As he got older, we adapted his routine to suit him, with shorter, gentler walks and plenty of time to sniff and explore at his own pace. He was also deaf in his later years, so I became very aware of how important it is to approach dogs calmly and thoughtfully to avoid startling them. That experience taught me to be patient. Whether your dog is young and full of energy or enjoying their senior years, I'll always take the time to get to know them and make sure they feel safe, comfortable and happy. I'll be available Friday to Sunday evenings, making me a great option for weekend walks, drop-in visits or evening care. I'll always make sure your pet gets the time, attention and care they deserve, and I'll keep you updated throughout. Your pet's safety and happiness will always come first. I have a fully fenced, secure garden where dogs can safely enjoy some outdoor time. I'll always follow your pet's usual routine, whether that's feeding times, medication, favourite walking routes or any little quirks that make them unique. I understand that every pet is different, so I'll take the time to get to know them and make sure they feel safe, comfortable and loved while they're in my care.
“Buttercup had a wonderful time boarding with Dajana, and Dajana's communication was brilliant: it was lovely to receive updates on all the fun things Buttercup got up to. She clearly felt very much at home and was very well looked after.”
“Our Jack Russell had a great time with Emily (as evidenced by all the photos we received throughout his stay!). We felt very settled knowing he was in safe hands and will definitely be coming back.”
“Lydia was amazing with Miso! Lydia is very experienced in looking after dogs and provided Miso plenty of mental stimulation. Got pictures throughout as he was enjoying his day with his walkies and sniffies”

About: I have just returned from travelling Southeast Asia for 6 months!🌍 For my last month I got the opportunity to volunteer at a dog rescue in Thailand (Mae Phim Foundation) which was one of most rewarding experiences caring for 300+ rescue dogs along with following the daily feeding route feeding the street dogs 🥺 I’ve had 15+ years of experience caring for a variety of animals throughout my life. I have looked after many clients, neighbours and friends' dogs & puppies! I have experience with dogs (including a wide variety of breeds), cats, rodents, reptiles and many more. During my 3 month trip to Thailand at the start of 2024, I was also able to help out with a lovely local animal rescue, feeding many stray dogs. In addition, I have achieved a Level 2 Certificate in Animal Care 🐶 and also graduated with a 1st in Psychology. I also am DBS checked & have recently completed a basic first aid course ✅ I live in Shefford/Befford and am currently very flexible so I have lots of time to play with your pups! I will be available most weekdays, and weekends. I am mainly available for house sitting (within the owner's home), drop-in’s & dog walking 🐶 For care within a pet owner's home, I can regularly play with, feed and walk your pets, in addition to cleaning up any mess! I can house-sit for full days/overnight and can provide potty breaks all through the day. Within my own home, I live in a large and fully secured detached house with a large garden with plenty of room for your pet to run around.
