“Nutmeg had a great few days. She looked very happy when we picked her up, and had obviously been so well looked after by Vicky she had settled in to her weekend home! Thank you very much”

“Erin and Andrea did an excellent job of looking after our little pug Peanut whilst we were on holiday. Andrea sent regular updates with photos and videos throughout the week and Peanut had a great time on walks, playing games and hanging out with Püs their pug. Erin and Andrea were also helpful and flexible about pick up and drop off times despite us having to change these last minute due to delays with our flights and trains. Thank you both for everything - we would whole heartedly recommend them :)”

“May was absolutely wonderful! Our shiba stayed with her for 10 days. She took great care of our pup. May sent lots of updates including a daily schedule, photos, and videos. May is also a dog trainer and helped to reduce how much our dog pulls on the leash. I’ll definitely book her again when I need a dogsitter.”

“Tatyana was very flexible and took in our dogs at short notice and had great communication throughout their stay. They were cared for well and we were very satisfied with her service.”
“Steven was an absolute pleasure to deal with. I recieved lots of photos and regular updates. He also went above and beyond to make sure Indy felt at home and had a wonderful stay, with lots of walks and pampering! I would highly recommend and will certainly be rebooking with Steven again.”
“Amazing experience, we felt Ella was in safe and loving hands. Before Ella went to stay, Suey sent over a form to get to know Ella. During the stay we had several updates every day of what she was up to. She looked like she had a great time! This enabled us to relax and enjoy our holiday knowing Ella was with such caring and dog focussed people.”
“Janet had a lovely home to take care of Lobo in. She was relaxed and friendly and Lobo who can be nervous when we leave her, was happy to be there. Janet took her plenty walks and took good care of her. Would definitely use Janet again.”

“Kinga was fantastic and I would recommend to anyone. She kindly took our late booking and asked lots of questions, making sure our boy would be as comfortable as possible. Our dog got along great with Rai, he is definitely missing her a bit after going home! It was clear that our dog was in great hands and had a good time with Kinga.”
“Thank you Paul - Rosie was comfortable and felt at home immediately. Paul kept me updated regularly which I really appreciated. Great guy and really cared about Rosie - will definitely be booking again”

About: I’ve been around cats my entire life, so caring for them comes naturally. Growing up with cats has given me experience with a wide range of personalities, from confident and affectionate lap cats to nervous and senior cats with more complex needs. I understand that every cat is different and can adapt to different temperaments. Alongside my life long experience with cats, my policing background has shaped me into a dependable, observant and trustworthy person. As a cat sitter, this means you can rely on me to follow your instructions carefully and fully, to respect your home, notice any changes in your cats behaviour and keep you informed with clear updates. Trusting someone with your pet and home is a huge decision, and I take that responsibility seriously.
About: Hi! I'm a 30-year-old cat lover based in Cambridge and I work from home, giving me a flexible schedule to care for your cat. I have a cat of my own and regularly look after friends' cats while they're away. I'm experienced with feeding, playtime, litter box cleaning, giving plenty of attention, and respecting each cat's unique personality. Whether your cat is playful, shy, or simply enjoys a quiet companion, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away.
“Emily was our absolute assurance that Dottie Lou would be very well cared for during our absence. She sent us messages and photos for each visit which showed that our treasured little rescue kitty had found a new friend. We are so grateful to have found Emily … she’s wonderful!”
“We're repeat customers of Larissa's, and we will certainly be using her again. Our cat Flash loves her and has from the moment they met. Though Flash is getting on in years, Larissa always coaxes her into playing with her toys - something we can't get her to do - and also spends time cuddling with her. Larissa also goes above and beyond the call of duty: When our flight back home was delayed once, she remained on standby, waiting until she got confirmation from us that we were back. She's a conscientious, responsible, and amiable young woman. We can't recommend her highly enough.”

About: We’re Alice and Josh - a calm, reliable married couple. We’ve grown up with dogs. We currently have a friendly rescue Lurcher called Mona who we trained ourselves. We’re experienced with walks, enrichment, basic training and play. We work from home and love getting out before work, at lunch and after work for nice walks. We are keen to welcome more dogs into our home and introduce Mona to some friends. We work from home most week days and have flexible jobs. One of us is always at home with our Lurcher Mona. We go out for a morning, lunchtime and evening walk and love getting outside into nature around Sawston. We do enrichment and training as much as we can. We have a small secure fenced garden. We have plenty of nice walks on our doorstep around Sawston including Orchard Park, Babraham Forest and the Whittlesford loop. We live down a quiet driveway. We have a large open plan living room kitchen which is where Mona sleeps and at least one of us works, with space for another dog. Dogs are allowed on our sofa.

About: My name is Kinga and like many people I grew up with dogs and have had dogs throughout my adult life. I love living with dogs, looking after them and simply being around them.I have experience of caring for dogs of various breeds such as Greyhounds, Golden Retrievers, Labradors, Labradoodle, German Shepherds, and Cane Corso, to name a few. As a dog owner I know how important it is to have your pet looked after by someone who is reliable, dependable and trustworthy and who will make your pet feel safe, comfortable and happy. I’m happy to help look after your pet/s whilst you go away or when you are at work. I’m patient with animals and confident with looking after dogs of all sizes and ages. I’m working from home and therefore will be around to look after your pet 24/7 and can be flexible to accommodate your pets needs. I love walks with the dogs and snuggles on the sofa. I have a medium size, secure garden where your pet can chill in the sun or have a playtime. The safety of your dog is paramount when out and about thus I am mindful what areas and walks I chose.
About: I’ve been looking after dogs for the past 7 years and absolutely love it! I’ve cared for a wide range of breeds and sizes, including puppies who were still learning to be toilet trained. I’m happy to help with feeding, walking, playing and bathing, and I love taking dogs on fun adventures to the beach, parks and new walking spots. I’ve received lovely feedback from owners and always enjoy building a special bond with every dog I care for. 🐾💕 I’m currently on a break for the next couple of months, so I have lots of free time for plenty of walks, playtime and cuddles! I’m available all day, both weekdays and weekends, for dog walking and boarding. I have a large, fully fenced garden and a lovely local park right on our doorstep, which is popular with lots of dog walkers. There are also bigger, quieter parks nearby for longer walks and adventures! I have plenty of space in both the living room and bedrooms, so your fur baby can have their own cosy bed wherever they feel most comfortable.

“Tahiana took great care of Cooper and was kind, caring, and communicative throughout his stay. She made me feel reassured that he was in good hands and was very patient with him. Cooper came home happy and well looked after.”
About: Hello! My name is Aleksandra (or Sasha), and I’m a huge dog lover with plenty of hands-on experience caring for dogs. As a dog owner myself, I know how difficult it can be to find someone you truly trust to look after your beloved furry family member, so I’m always happy to answer any questions you may have about me or my experience. I have a 12-year-old dog whom I adopted from Japan over eight years ago, and I’ve also spent many years looking after other people’s dogs, whether hosting them in my home, doing drop-in visits, or taking them for walks. My dog has become a bit of a bossy and stubborn old lady, but she gets along well with other dogs, especially younger ones. I work as a scientist and have a flexible hybrid schedule, which means I can work from home several days a week and adjust my hours when needed. This allows me to check in on your dog, take them for walks during the day, or provide company while you’re away. I’ll always do my best to make sure your pup feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Drop me a message and I will be happy to chat! I have a hybrid schedule and work from home 2-3 days a week. My office days are usually Monday and Thursday, but can be adjusted if needed. My weekends are usually free, so I can easily help out with walks, drop-in visits, or dog sitting when needed. I live in a secure apartment building, so any dogs staying with me will be in a safe and supervised environment. I only take on a limited number of dogs at a time so that I can give each one plenty of attention and make sure they feel comfortable. I’m also available for house sitting, drop-in visits and walks within Saffron Walden, and I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual routine as closely as possible. I have a 12-year-old dog who gets along well with most dogs, although she can be a little bossy sometimes. For that reason, I would prefer to arrange a first meeting in a neutral open space, such as a park area, before any stay in my home. I find that this helps dogs get to know each other more comfortably and makes the experience much smoother for everyone. I’ll always keep you updated with messages and photos, and I’ll make sure your dog is treated with the same care and attention that I give my own.
“I had a great experience with Carmen. She accepted my last-minute booking request, which was a huge help, and took very good care of my dog.

“Giselle was absolutely fantastic with Stella. Stella has quite a nervous disposition, but she took to Giselle straight away, she engaged great with her and updated us on how she was doing. Stella settled in great, far faster than I expected her too which was so reassuring to see. I would definitely recommend and will be booking with Giselle again in the future!”

“Steven looked after our cockapoo Alfie really well and he came back a happy chap. During the day Alfie had a nice long walk. Steven is really attentive, took some great photos of Alfie and let us know how Alfie got on during the day. Very happy to recommend Steven.”

About: Dogs have always been at the heart of my life and caring for them has never simply been something I do - it is who I am. For me, this is not just a service, it is a privilege. I understand that every dog is a cherished member of the family and I treat each one with the same love, patience, kindness and unwavering devotion that I gave to my own. For 13 wonderful years, I was blessed to share my life with my beautiful Cavapoo, Colby. He was my constant companion, my best friend and I will always feel incredibly honoured that he chose me every day. The bond we shared shaped the way I care for animals and reinforced my belief that every dog deserves to feel safe, understood, loved and completely at ease. Following Colby's passing, I found myself deeply missing the daily joy of giving that love and care to a dog. It is this, more than anything, that inspired me to begin this new chapter. My aim is not simply to offer dog boarding, walking and house sitting, but to provide a home-from-home experience where every dog receives genuine affection, individual attention and the highest standard of care, as though they were my own. My experience extends well beyond everyday care. During Colby's later years, he bravely lived with heart failure, requiring an extensive and carefully managed medication regime. I administered multiple medications with precision, consistency and dedication while closely monitoring his health, comfort and changing needs. This experience has given me invaluable confidence in caring for senior dogs, administering medication and supporting dogs with ongoing medical conditions, always with patience, compassion and meticulous attention to detail. When you dog is in my care, they will be treated as my own family - with warmth, gentleness and genuine affection. My promise is to provide not only a safe and reliable service, but a nurturing environment where you dog feels secure, loved and truly at home 🐶❤️ I provide full-time, dedicated care tailored entirely to your dog's individual needs and routine. Whether they enjoy long walks and playtime, gentle companionship, plenty of cuddles and love, or simply a quiet place to relax, my focus is always on ensuring they feel safe, happy and loved. I offer house sitting in your home, boarding, drop in and dog walking throughout the week, including weekends and I am committed to maintaining your dog's usual routine as closely as possible to provide comfort, consistency and complete peace of mind while you are away. Safety, trust and a calm, secure environment are at the very heart of my care. I have no other pets or children in the home, ensuring a peaceful and undisturbed setting for your dog. My property benefits from a walled, secure garden and I am fortunate to be situated in a beautiful village with a country park and woodland walks right on my doorstep, offering safe, enriching and varied outdoor experiences in nature.
About: I had a dog when I was really young for 12 years so I am very used to having them around me. I have looked after my family members 3 dogs and I have a puppy of my own. I am working part - time so I have a lot of time in the week to walk and look after your dogs. I absolutely love animals but dogs are my favourite. I will always keep your dog on a lead whenever I go for a walk and the places I will go I know very well and are safe.
“Brilliant! The level of communication was perfect & the photos reassured us that all was well. Tofi is only 4 months so we asked a friend to house sit & Charlotte walked Tofs twice a day. We will definitely use Charlotte again as we felt confident that she would look after her.”
About: I grew up on a farm caring for a variety of dogs and cats, which has given me confidence with different breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I also completed two years of work experience at a vet practice, gaining hands-on knowledge of animal health and safe handling. I’m reliable, caring, and truly passionate about making pets feel safe and happy. I’m currently on my gap year working part time as a lifeguard, so I have plenty of time to care for your pets at any time in the day, seven days a week! Anima safety and comfort are always my top priority. I respect each owner’s home and follow all care instructions closely, keeping routines consistent to help pets feel secure. On walks, I’m attentive and cautious, always using safe handling practices and staying aware of my surroundings. I’m reliable, trustworthy, and happy to provide regular updates so you can feel confident your pet is in safe hands.
About: I’ve had the pleasure of growing up with dogs of all breeds, ages, and personalities, giving me a wealth of experience and confidence in caring for them. Over the years, I’ve dedicated many hours to dog sitting and walking for friends and family, as well as taking on paid opportunities Currently I have almost full flexibility for walks, drop ins and house sits around Cambridgeshire before I relocate. Overnight house sits welcome with decent notice Unfortunately I cannot host pets at my own home. My main priority is to keep your pet safe and comfortable on walks and inside their home

“Stella was an incredible sitter for our 3-year-old golden, Breck! She sent lots of photos, gave plenty of updates, and gave him so much attention and exercise. I could tell she and her partner loved looking after him and I will definitely be using them again when we travel. Highly recommend!”
“Monty had a WONDERFUL stay with Caroline and Steph!! She sent photos and videos every day so we could see he was happy and loved whilst with them. We also had a late return and they were very accommodating with that, which was very kind. To top it all off, Monty has come back super well behaved - it’s amazing! No more jumping and he’s been so relaxed and good as gold which only confirms how well cared he was. We won’t hesitate in leaving him with Caroline again. Thank you both for loving our baby as one of yours!”
“Gemma and her dog Herbie were really lovely and I felt very relaxed to leave our dog Bonnie with them both. Communication was excellent and Gemma sent regular updates and videos/photos which was very thoughtful. I would definitely recommend and I hope Gemma is available next time we need someone to take care of Bonnie!”
About: Hello! My name is Aleksandra (or Sasha), and I’m a huge dog lover with plenty of hands-on experience caring for dogs. As a dog owner myself, I know how difficult it can be to find someone you truly trust to look after your beloved furry family member, so I’m always happy to answer any questions you may have about me or my experience. I have a 12-year-old dog whom I adopted from Japan over eight years ago, and I’ve also spent many years looking after other people’s dogs, whether hosting them in my home, doing drop-in visits, or taking them for walks. My dog has become a bit of a bossy and stubborn old lady, but she gets along well with other dogs, especially younger ones. I work as a scientist and have a flexible hybrid schedule, which means I can work from home several days a week and adjust my hours when needed. This allows me to check in on your dog, take them for walks during the day, or provide company while you’re away. I’ll always do my best to make sure your pup feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Drop me a message and I will be happy to chat! I have a hybrid schedule and work from home 2-3 days a week. My office days are usually Monday and Thursday, but can be adjusted if needed. My weekends are usually free, so I can easily help out with walks, drop-in visits, or dog sitting when needed. I live in a secure apartment building, so any dogs staying with me will be in a safe and supervised environment. I only take on a limited number of dogs at a time so that I can give each one plenty of attention and make sure they feel comfortable. I’m also available for house sitting, drop-in visits and walks within Saffron Walden, and I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual routine as closely as possible. I have a 12-year-old dog who gets along well with most dogs, although she can be a little bossy sometimes. For that reason, I would prefer to arrange a first meeting in a neutral open space, such as a park area, before any stay in my home. I find that this helps dogs get to know each other more comfortably and makes the experience much smoother for everyone. I’ll always keep you updated with messages and photos, and I’ll make sure your dog is treated with the same care and attention that I give my own.
“Jan & Bruce are brilliant, very caring and made sure my dog Ted was happy and safe. He had a lovely time with them, lots of walks and games in their garden, and snoozing on the sofa. Great communication and updates on how Ted was - we will definitely be back to see them again soon! Thanks J&B!”
“Alice was absolutely wonderful! She was very quick to respond to all messages, and even accepted our last minute boarding request. Our dog can be a little nervous and shy, but she warmed up to Alice very quickly. Alice also sent lots of photos and videos, which was very much appreciated.”
“I felt really comfortable leaving Floki with Stephen and family, seemed like a home from home for Floki. He seemed to love it and got on well with their dog. I would be more than happy to ask Stephen to look after Floki again.”
