“Andrew as ever was a star looking after Woody. Brilliant to see that when we dropped Woody off, he ran straight to Andrew, very excited to see him, ran indoors and made himself at home. Woody spent 4 days with Andrew, who sent pics and updates in our absence, as well as giving us a full update of Woodys stay when we picked him up. Andrew's a great sitter and more importantly, a friend to Woody.”

She goes above and beyond to ensure every pup feels at home, and the frequent updates and photos are a wonderful touch that gives us peace of mind. She’s now our go-to for dog care, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone. Thank you, Clare, for the incredible love and attention you give to our much-loved puppy. We’ll definitely be booking with you again!”

“Thank you Laura and Troye for making Ally feel so welcome in your home … it seems like she enjoyed the company and it was nice to hear you did lots of walks and she had cuddles on the sofa and I know she would have enjoyed sitting with Troye watching out of your big picture window and exploring in your garden ..Great communication from Lara confirming everything and not having local family or friends it’s nice to be able to book someone when you need a sitter”
“I cannot recommend Jenette enough, Gianni looked the happiest he had been when staying with a sitter, constantly updated with videos and photos with lovely long walks, sofa cuddles, he was treated just like he had not left home, and I think his company was enjoyed too. We had a meet and greet beforehand which was really nice as it made it all very comfortable and puts any worries at ease in to where he was going to stay. Thank you Jenette and Stuart for the wonderful and caring attention that Gianni recieved, and a definate rebooking without a doubt in the future”
“My dog had a great time with Bea. I received regular updates and the communication was great. Lovely family environment, nice house & garden and their dog Luna is super friendly too. Thanks again Bea & family!”

About: We have had family dogs for the last 11 years, we currently have 2 bearded collies, Merlin (11yrs) and Griffon (5yrs) and they are regular visitors to our new home we recently purchased! There is plenty of room for fun in the fenced garden and other very friendly dogs in the neighbourhood we may bump into on walks. I work from home so there will always be someone around for your furry friend. I work remotely full time, however I have a very active lifestyle and go for walks in the morning, lunch times and evenings. I also have a flexible work schedule and with enough notice can make day time walks work if required Our family dogs do not live with us, they are with my in-laws, however as retired parents should be, they are very keen travellers and we are very happy dog sitters! As mentioned, we have a fenced in garden and lots of surrounding areas for dog walks. I work from home so am around to monitor and keep fluffy friends company.

“Veronica is the perfect sitter. We received regular photos and updates with each visit, and all instructions were followed perfectly. She also respected our nervous cat’s space and gave her the time she needed to build trust, which was hugely appreciated.”
“We’d never left our cats to be looked after by anyone before. Upon meeting Diana we were very confident that she would take good care of our boys while we had a week abroad. We were not disappointed. Diana provided little updates and photos while we were away. Upon our return we could tell Benny and Fredo had been well loved in our absence. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Diana and would definitely book her again next time we go away if she’ll have us. 😊”

About: I have grown up with cats all my life at home, ranging from Tabbies to a Norwegian Forest Cat. I have been trusted on my occassions to cat sit / drop-in visits to feed neighbours and friends cats. I love how independant cats can be but always know where home is for food and a cuddle. Used to cats of all ages from kittens to senior cats

She documented her visit with loads of pictures and clear communication which I really appreciate. I feel much more relaxed knowing my cat will be alright at home until I’m back!”
About: I have studied animal care for 4 years now. I have a Level 2/3 & 4 Diploma in Animal Care! Also have completed a Level 3 Diploma in Animal Psychology! I have looked after friends cats for 3 years now. Whether that’s been feeding, grooming or even popping in for playtime! Especially cats of all temperaments!
About: I’ve have been around cats since young and have always helped out family and friends when needed. I had recently started to offer my services to others and would love to meet your lovely pets 😻❤️ Happy to chat sit, do drop in visits or any other required services please don’t hesitate to message me ☺️
About: Cats have always held a special place in my heart. Ever since I was young, I’ve naturally gravitated toward them. I used to look after neighbours’ cats whenever they were away, and I quickly became the “go-to” person for reliable, loving care. Whether it was feeding, playing, or just giving them company, I’ve always found joy in caring for them. Every time I see a cat in the street, I can’t help but stop and say hello—often offering a bit of affection if they’re open to it. And when I’m on holiday, most people head for the beach or the shops—while I’m making sure the local cats are fed and comfortable. I always go the extra mile, especially for those that seem unwell or injured, making sure they get to a vet if needed. We also adopted a cat many years ago who didn’t have a regular home- despite our efforts to return him to his original home he kept coming back, therefore we took him in and he soon became a part of our family. Knowing that I can make even a small difference in a cat’s wellbeing is something I take very seriously. Over the years, I’ve become confident in understanding feline body language, and adjusting my care to meet the needs of each individual cat. I understand that no two cats are the same—some are shy and need patience, while others are bold and crave attention. I always take time to build trust and provide the right balance of comfort, stimulation, and calm, depending on what each cat needs. I’m also meticulous about cleanliness and routine. I ensure that litter trays are thoroughly cleaned and changed regularly, and food and water bowls are always fresh and hygienic. A clean environment is essential not just for their health, but also for their sense of safety. At home, I have a Ragdoll cat who is, quite literally, my baby—He’s spoiled in the best way: daily grooming sessions, playtime, high-quality food, and of course, endless cuddles. He has his own personality and I always make sure his emotional and physical needs are fully met. Caring for cats isn’t just something I do—it’s something I truly love. Their unique personalities, their quiet presence, and their trust mean everything to me. Whether it’s a nervous rescue cat needing gentle reassurance, or a confident cat who wants constant play, I’m always ready to provide attentive, compassionate care.

About: I had a dog and many cats thoughout my life. Being brought up in Borneo and constantly surrounded by snakes and monkeys, I developed a strong passion and interest for everything nature and wildlife. I have worked as a veterinary nurse for two years, where I worked with everything under the sun; from hamsters to birds to lions! I've also worked as personal dog carer for a royal family in the middle east for about 6 months. I love all animals and promise to treat them as I would my own! I have a way of getting on with animals of all shapes and sizes! I very much look forward to making friends with all the pets I can!

Played in the garden throughout the day and went on a nice walk too. It was so nice to receive update photos and messages while I was at work and I felt happy knowing she was being cared for and I didn’t have to worry. Thank you Carina, Jeanie looks forward to her next stay with you 🥰”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Amazing Dog Sitter! Sebastian was incredible with our dog, Bailey! From the very first meet & Greet, it was clear how caring and attentive he is with her. He took the time to learn about Baileys routine, preferences, and weird quirks, and kept me updated with stunning photos and messages throughout the day. I would fetch a very happy and tired pup at the end of day — it’s obvious Sebastian treated Bailey like his own. It definitely gave me such peace of mind knowing our furry family member was in such capable, loving hands. And a massive shout out to Bao! Baileys new friend 😊 Bao welcomed Bailey with open paws into her home. Bailey has been having such a blast ! Highly recommend Sebastian and Bao 😊 Dream Team!”

When I picked him up he was happy and had bonded with Sarah which is great to see. Thanks Sarah for a great day and we’ve already booked for a future service.”
About: I’m a mum of two teens and I’ve been surrounded by animals all my life, growing up with dogs, cats and rabbits and now being a proud dog mum to my black Labrador, Cooper. 🖤 I regularly look after friends’ dogs when they’re away and absolutely love having them around. I’m confident and comfortable caring for both dogs and cats, and understand how important it is to know your pet is happy, safe and well cared for while you’re away. Your pets will be treated like one of our own, with plenty of love, attention and fuss! 🐾❤️ Mostly I work full time from home as director of dental urgent care for the NHS then the weekends are spent watching my two boys play football. I have a large fenced in back garden, space to crate your dog if your preference or need, can also use stair gates for added safety, plus I have friendly Labrador for company.
About: I've been looking after dogs for family and friends for the past 8 years, from cockapoos to collies and spaniels. I'd love to have my own when the time is right, but for now I'm happy to care for other pooches! I work in a hybrid role, so 2 days a week I'll be available for all day sitting. These can be worked out as needed. Weekends are also fine. The only day I'm unavailable is Monday. The flat I live in has plenty of room with outdoor space to get some fresh air. Dogs I'm sitting for will get at least 2 walks a day and lots of attention.
About: I’ve had dogs all my life, so caring for them comes naturally to me. I looked after my two family dogs throughout every stage of their lives, including into their senior years, giving me experience providing patient, attentive care and adapting to their changing needs. I also have experience handling nervous and anxious dogs, and I understand the importance of taking things at their pace, helping them feel safe, comfortable and secure. I have experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes and energy levels, and I always tailor my approach to suit each dog’s individual personality and needs. I understand how important it is to stick to your dog’s usual routine, including feeding, walking and any medication schedules, to help them feel comfortable and settled. I’m patient, kind and always use positive reinforcement, never harsh training methods, to build trust and encourage good behaviour. I know how much owners miss their pets while they’re apart, so I’m always happy to provide regular photo and video updates, giving you peace of mind that your dog is happy, safe and enjoying their time with me. Above all, I treat every dog as if they were my own, so you can feel confident they’re in caring, reliable hands.

“Jess has been absolutely fantastic. She’s been walking our boy regularly for the past month and it’s been such a positive experience. He took to her straight away and always looks like he comes back from his walks happy, which says it all. We’ve been so impressed that we’ve also booked her to look after Monty while we’re away. She’s reliable, flexible, and incredibly accommodating - especially when we’ve needed to change our usual day or time at fairly short notice. Couldn’t recommend her more highly.”

About: Hi, I’m Amy! 🐾 I’m a passionate animal lover who has grown up with dogs my entire life, so caring for them comes naturally to me. Over the years, I’ve had lots of experience dog sitting for family and friends, looking after everything from energetic puppies to older dogs who need a gentler routine. My priority is always to make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’m reliable, patient, and committed to keeping their routine as consistent as possible—whether that’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just lots of cuddles. I know every dog (and owner!) is different, so I’m happy to work around your pet’s individual needs. Please feel free to enquire for times so we can match up and make sure your pup is well looked after. ☺️ Pet sitting fits really well into my schedule as I’m able to work flexibly and adjust my time around the needs of the dogs I care for. I have availability most weekends and can often work around weekday requests too, depending on your requirements. I’m happy to discuss times so we can find the best fit for both you and your pup. 🐾 I have a quiet, pet-friendly home with a large garden, and I’m conveniently located near green spaces and plenty of parks—perfect for lots of lovely walks and outdoor adventures.
About: While I’ve spent a lot of time caring for cats, my love for dogs is just as strong—and I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments through sitting for friends, family, and neighbours over the years. From playful puppies to older dogs who need a slower pace, I’ve cared for them all. I understand how important consistency, calm energy, and clear communication are when it comes to looking after dogs—especially when they’re adjusting to someone new. Whether it’s sticking to a regular feeding routine, administering oral medication, or making sure they get enough exercise and attention, I’m dedicated to giving every dog the personalised care they deserve and acknowledging when your pet requires nurturing, affection and play time. I’m confident with walking, feeding, basic grooming (like brushing and wiping muddy paws!), and giving your dog the companionship they need while you’re away. I also make sure to learn each dog’s individual personality and preferences—some love long walks, others prefer cuddles and quiet time—and I adjust my care accordingly. Although I don’t currently have a dog of my own, it’s always been a dream of mine—so caring for yours is truly meaningful to me. I’ll treat them like part of the family, ensuring they’re safe, comfortable, and most importantly, happy! I currently have a commitment which durates to just 3 hours a day, Monday to Friday (3 PM – 6 PM), which leaves me with plenty of time and energy to care for your furry family members! 🐾 I’m available and flexible every day—including weekends and bank holidays—and I’m more than happy to work around your schedule. Whether you need early morning check-ins, midday walks, evening cuddles, full-day care or even overnight stays, I’ll do my best to accommodate your needs. Your pet’s comfort and routine come first, and I’m here to make things as smooth and stress-free as possible for both the family and your pet. At home, I have one very spoiled Ragdoll cat who even has his own house attached to ours! While he’s a house cat, we’ve created a safe, secure outdoor space so he can explore freely. He’s treated like royalty—endless cuddles, enrichment, and affection—and I bring that same level of care and compassion to every pet I look after. Although I don’t currently have a dog of my own, I’ve always dreamed of having one. So caring for your baby will genuinely fill a little hole in my heart 💛 Whether it’s long walks, playtime in the garden, or just a comfy cuddle session, I’m ready to give your pet the same love and care I give my own. Although I understand that every pet is different, I acknowledge their individual needs and always provide the best possible care for them. Whether your pet is shy, energetic, senior, or needs medication or special attention—I adapt to their personality and routine to ensure they feel completely safe, relaxed, and happy while you’re away.
About: I've been among dogs all my life. Whether it's my own family dog or my parents dogs. I love all kinds. And long, long walks. My daughter's dog comes to stay when she comes to stay. And at other times. She clearly enjoys her time here. We have plenty of space for running around here and adventure. And a huge grassy area used by dogs that has no surrounding busy roads. And dogs regularly meet. I like to offer variety on my walk routes, but the grassy area is a great way to start a walk and make new friends or me old favourites. I work from home and in the events industry. My work dates are arranged in advance. So that I can easily fit my dog care around it. Almost limitless amounts of space here to work off some energy. And plenty of sofa space for naps or sleeps. No other animals live here and it is very quiet and peaceful. There's plenty of space in the car and I can provide a crate if needed.
About: Dogs are the best furfwends in the world. I am loving, caring and my dog always comes first. It is important to always put your dogs needs before yourself. Dogs come first. I can offer all the cuddles and kisses to you pups. I work from home 4 days a week so it works perfectly and I am here with the dog all day to let them out. I also live right near a green area to take them out before and after work but also on my lunch break. I have a open living space with a balcony with grass on for dogs to sit on and watch the world go by. My dog loves to do this. He also sleeps on the sofa and bed which your pups are welcome to do!

I currently work part-time in the care industry. I would be available Monday from 2:30 pm. Thursday-Sunday. I might be available for drop ins depending on what time you need. Your pet always comes first, I am more than happy to play with, walk or feed your pet. I know plenty of dog friendly areas.

About: I’ve spent many years caring for my grandparents’ dogs and have always enjoyed being around dogs of all sizes and personalities.

“Chip had an awesome time with Dan! We got lots of updates from him and we could tell that our dog was really happy and well looked after. We highly recommend Dan as a dog sitter and would book him again any time.”
“Andrew as ever was a star looking after Woody. Brilliant to see that when we dropped Woody off, he ran straight to Andrew, very excited to see him, ran indoors and made himself at home. Woody spent 4 days with Andrew, who sent pics and updates in our absence, as well as giving us a full update of Woodys stay when we picked him up. Andrew's a great sitter and more importantly, a friend to Woody.”
“Holly has been poorly lately so I was a bit nervous about leaving her however Melody was amazing! She was incredibly kind and understanding of Holly’s condition and gave her lots of extra attention and reassurance for me. I would highly recommend Melody”
“Sarah has been brilliant with our two boys, they were made to feel instantly at home and we had no worries about leaving them. Sarah provided regular updates and photos while we were away, keeping in touch with us. Both Bruno and Gus will be looking forward to their stay with Sarah again in June and we can leave them safe in the knowledge they are being truly cared for. Thank you so much Sarah x”
“Sebastian was amazing with Nala! She stayed overnight and really enjoyed herself with his dog Bao, they have become best friends 🥰 They played for hours and Nala had great fun! Sebastian was very reliable and kept me updated with photos and regular updates of how Nala is doing and what she’s been doing. I was able to relax knowing she is safe and happy. I also met Candice his wife who is lovely and you can see they both love dogs very much. Thank you both so much and Nala will definitely be staying with you again soon! 💗🙏🏼”
“Lisa looked after our two dogs overnight. Lisa dealt with our timid spaniel very well. Our terrier apparently became part of the family straight away! We will definitely be using Lisa again.”
“Oana was brilliant. It was Jax’s first ever overnight stay without someone without us and she was so supportive. Not just for Jax but for us. She sent me regular updates so we weren’t stressing and was so calming and caring for our pup, especially at such short notice on NYE! Jax seems so happy!!! 100% recommend and hopefully will see Oana again soon (I know Jax would want to!)”
“Winona and Charlie looked after my dog for just over a week and I couldn’t be more happy with the stay. I got pictures and videos daily as well as updates on how my dog’s day has been. I was able to take my dog round for a first meet where I was able to ask any questions and discuss the dogs routing, which was followed for the duration of the stay. My dog was welcomed into their family and I could not be happier or recommend Winona and Charlie more.”
“Buster has been to Isabelle before for a day stay, but this was our first time leaving him overnight with anyone other than friends or family. Isabelle made us feel completely reassured from the start. She has a lovely home, kept us updated throughout his stay, and it was clear Buster was very well looked after and settled. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Isabelle again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter. Thank you so much!”
“Will & Caitlin were absolutely brilliant, from start to finish! We booked Benny in for our wedding weekend after a booking with someone else was cancelled. From the moment we met Will, Caitlin & Riley, we could tell Benny was going to fit in well. We were sent photos and updates throughout the weekend and reassured that Benny was in safe hands. A huge thank you to you both for helping us during such a special weekend.”
“Highly recommended! Otto had a great stay with Genevieve and her dog Ginny for a few days while we were away. Really well looked after, great communication and Otto will definitely be staying with them again in the future.”
About: I’m a mum of two teens and I’ve been surrounded by animals all my life, growing up with dogs, cats and rabbits and now being a proud dog mum to my black Labrador, Cooper. 🖤 I regularly look after friends’ dogs when they’re away and absolutely love having them around. I’m confident and comfortable caring for both dogs and cats, and understand how important it is to know your pet is happy, safe and well cared for while you’re away. Your pets will be treated like one of our own, with plenty of love, attention and fuss! 🐾❤️ Mostly I work full time from home as director of dental urgent care for the NHS then the weekends are spent watching my two boys play football. I have a large fenced in back garden, space to crate your dog if your preference or need, can also use stair gates for added safety, plus I have friendly Labrador for company.
“Wisha had a lovely time with Lidia on his two night stay - we were sent lots of pictures where he looked very comfortable and happy. He is not a good eater but Lidia managed to get him to eat twice a day which shows he must have been very relaxed. Lidia was very responsive to all our requests which resulted in Wisha having a great stay.”
“I honestly could not recommend Ellie and Ben more, even if I tried!!! From meeting them prior, they made me and my precious girl feel so so welcome and comfortable. Ellie and Ben had Lulu for a long weekend, sent regular updates, photos and videos, and showed her so much love - just like they would their own. Both work with dogs for a living, so you just instantly feel so comfortable leaving your precious fur babies with them!! I know Lulu has had the best time, and I’m sure she cannot wait to go back. Thank you so much both of you, you will always be top of my list 🩷”
“Our 12 year-old cockatoo, Lexi, had a great overnight boarding experience with Nick and his family. She came back very happy but also was very comfortable with them when I picked her up. We are so happy we have rebooked him for September!”
“Thank you so much Abigail and James for taking such great care of Bella! Bella can be anxious but Abigail is very experienced and was incredibly understanding and accommodating of her needs and our requests. I felt completely confident leaving Bella in their care, Abigail let us know how she was doing and she had a very happy and relaxed stay! We feel very lucky to have found such kind people to look after her and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Abigail and James to anyone looking for a dog sitter, including those with anxious or reactive dogs :)”
“Lucy was absolutely wonderful with Amba. She kept me updated with photos and messages, which really put my mind at ease. Amba looked happy and settled, and it was lovely to see how well she got on with Lucy’s dog, Babs. It was clear she was well looked after and had a great time. I wouldn’t hesitate to leave Amba with Lucy again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter. Thank you so much!”
“Wholeheartedly recommend Andrea to look after your dog!! Gino had a great stay with Andrea & while I was away, stayed in contact sending over pictures & videos. Gino isn’t really away from me for long periods of time but I’m so glad I left him with Andrea as he really had a home from home and thoroughly enjoyed his time there! Thank you again Andrea, he will be back!! 💖”
