“Mac’s stay with Emma was great. I think he had a nice holiday while I was away on my holiday. He settled back into his routine at home quickly and he is very happy so that shows he was well looked after by Emma and her family. Thanks Emma.”

“First time booking with Hannah we had a pre meet obviously nervous leaving our lab with someone we’d only meet through the booking site. When we dropped her off our lab tottered off had a wonder round greeted by all the family loved the attention she made herself at home and I felt at ease she’d be okay we had daily updates with photos and videos she looked happy on all them. We look forward to booking with Hannah again she certainly gave 5 star top class service. Thank you Hannah and family.”

“Words can’t say how happy I was with Chester’s care. It truly was home from home. I could see that he was treated as one of the family including the children. I liked that he could cuddle on the sofa in the evening with Jodie as he does with me at home and he had the freedom of the house. I would 100% recommend her. fabulous family environment”

“Diamond had a wonderfull stay she was so well looked after by Jill & Keith.When they had any problems they did not hesitate to contact you to check any detail no matter how small.Diamond will look forward to many more holidays.Thank you.”

“Tom looked after Enola (our 18 month old flat coat retriever) and she had a great time. Tom was super flexible and kept us informed about our dog happiness with overwhelming us with information! We were able to kick back and enjoy a local festival (that did not allow dogs)!!”

“Judit and her lovely family made my dogs so welcome. They really looked after them and we received regular updates, photos and videos and it was so reassuring to see them having such a lovely time. I would definitely recommend them 100% and would definitely use them again in the future. Thank you guys :) xx”

“Laura is always wonderful with our elderly dog. She's very caring and understands the needs and habits of the individual dogs. We're always confident and relaxed leaving Lipa in Laura's care.”

“Jenny looked after our puppy cockapoo (who is very hyper) for a night and done a fantastic job! Sent updates as she knew I was nervous leaving Betsy for the first time and invited us over for a meet and greet before the stay which I loved! When Betsy come home, it’s safe to say she was sulking and wanted to go back and play with little honey (Jenny’s pug). Would recommend to anyone who wants to leave their dog without constantly worrying, will use Jenny moving forward every time!”

About: I’m a huge dog lover with over 4 years of experience caring for my two dogs since puppies and I also volunteer with a dog rescue, so dogs really are a massive part of my life! Having two dogs myself, I know how difficult and stressful it can be finding someone you trust to look after them, which is why I’m here to help! I’m a proud mum to my daughter, a huge cuddler, and I’ll make sure your dog feels safe, happy and loved while they’re with me. Every dog in my care will be treated just like one of my own and I promise to send you updates so you feel at ease leaving them with me❤️ I’m currently on maternity leave, which means I’m around most of the time and can be really flexible with times, including those last minute plans! 🐾 In the New Year, I’ll be returning to full time work, but I’ll only be in the office 2 days a week and working from home the rest. Your dog will never be left uncared for. Me and my two cockapoos are always ready for walks, playtime or, most importantly, cuddles!❤️🐶 Your dog’s safety and happiness will always come first! I have a fully enclosed garden with 6ft fencing, giving your dog plenty of safe space to play and explore. I also have two friendly cockapoos who absolutely love to play and will be more than happy to keep your dog company! Inside, I have a baby gate so dogs can be safely separated when needed. Dogs will have access to downstairs and will only go upstairs when accompanied by me, so I always know where they are and what they’re up to. I’m more than happy to take your dog out for walks during their stay. For their safety and your peace of mind, any dog in my care will always be kept on a lead when out on normal walks, regardless of how good their recall is. I also regularly hire a fully enclosed private dog field, where they can safely come off the lead, have a proper run around and play with my two! And of course… treats are never far away😂 I always have treats to hand, but if your dog has a favourite brand, allergies or specific dietary requirements, please bring their usual treats along so I can keep everything familiar and safe🩷

Charlotte communicated with me the whole time she was with Rusty and really reassured me that he was okay! Thank you for being so lovely and brilliant with Rusty”

About: I am fully insured (including the Dangerous Dog Act), DBS checked, and trained in canine first aid, so safety always comes first. I also use GPS tracking to ensure dogs safety. Whether it’s a lively group outing, a gentle solo stroll, or a quiet visit for a puppy or senior dog, I tailor every service to your dog’s needs and personality — treating them as if they were my own Pet care is at the heart of my daily routine. I structure my days around my walks and visits, ensuring each dog gets my full attention and unhurried time. I limit the number of bookings I take so I can provide consistent, high-quality care — whether that’s a mid-morning solo walk, a sociable group outing, or a quiet drop-in visit. Your pet’s needs always come first, and I adjust my schedule to fit them, not the other way around. When I’m caring for pets in their home, my priority is keeping them comfortable, safe, and relaxed in their familiar environment. I follow your routines closely — from feeding times and walk schedules to any special instructions you provide. I make sure they have fresh water, a clean space, and plenty of company, whether that’s playtime, cuddles, or quiet companionship. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos, so you can see your pet is happy and cared for while you’re away
“Megan was reliable from the start and was flexible when our plans changed at the last minute. She came to the house to meet Doodle beforehand and listened to me rabbit on about what he needs/likes. Megan kept us updated on Doodle whilst we were away and even cleaned up after he had a couple of accidents, which I didn’t expect. She spent time with him and sent pictures each day, which were nice to see and put my mind at rest that he was happy, having some company and was being looked after. We would certainly book her again in the future.”

“Steph was absolutely amazing while looking after my cat Hettie during my holiday. Her communication was brilliant throughout—regular updates, thoughtful messages, and the loveliest photos that really put my mind at ease. She went above and beyond in every way, and it was clear how much care and attention she gave. I came home to a very happy, relaxed cat, and I’m so grateful. I couldn’t recommend Steph more highly.”


About: I’ve had cats in my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with cats from the day I was born, so caring for them has always been a natural part of my life. I now have a cat of my own, who is very much part of the family and means the world to me. I understand that every cat has their own personality, routines and preferences, and I’ll take the time to get to know yours and care for them in the way they’re used to. Friends have also trusted me to look after their cats while they’ve been away. This has included visiting their homes to feed them, clean litter trays and make sure they’re happy and comfortable. I always spend time with them too, including playing with them and giving them attention and company rather than simply popping in to put food down. I know how worrying it can be leaving your pets when you’re away, so I’ll treat your cat with the same care and attention I’d want someone to give mine.

“What a find Lauren is. She clearly loves cats and made such a fuss of my 3 at the meet and greet. She is reliable and happy to go the extra mile if needed. The daily photos and videos were well received and my cats loved her. Even my unsociable one. Would strongly recommend Lauren to anybody looking for a reliable, caring and wonderful cat sitter ”


“Eloise is just perfect. She did an excellent job with Kaya and Coco, was always on time, and was willing to change the schedule last minute when necessary. Great updates and photos. Would recommend highly!”

About: I’ve helped my parents walking our dog since he was a puppy. I’ll feed him on time and company him when his family aren’t around. I’ll make sure he has a familiar person during thunderstorms and fireworks. I’m currently working part time and will be free most days of the week. I’m an animal person so they fit in perfectly with my free time. I have a fenced and good sized garden where my dog can safely play and have fun. I make sure my dog has a walk and playtime. He has his food accordingly and a relaxing evening before bed.

About: I’ve been around and caring for cats since I was young and understand that every cat has their own personality, routine and boundaries. I’m confident caring for cats of different ages and temperaments, including older cats who may need a little more patience, attention and a quieter approach. I’m happy to follow feeding routines, clean litter trays, give medication where required, provide play and enrichment, and of course give affection on their terms. I know some cats can take time to feel comfortable with someone new, so I never force interaction. I let them come to me and make sure they feel safe and settled in their own home. I’m reliable, attentive and happy to send regular photo and message updates so you can relax knowing your cat is being properly cared for while you’re away.
About: I’m a fun, caring animal lover who just wants the best for all animals! I currently volunteer at the Blue Cross and I’ve previously run a kennels & cattery so am confident with dogs and cats of all shapes, sizes and breeds. I’ve also worked for 2 zoos - one a mobile zoo with smaller animals such as reptiles and meerkats and the other a large zoo with everything from penguins to zebras so I’m used to a whole host of animal traits and characters, as well as meeting their needs. My work is very flexible and I work from home most of the time - if I do need to go out I often take the dog/s staying with me along, so they can enjoy a walk somewhere new at the same time🙂 My approach to looking after your pets? With love! Having had my own dogs since I was a child and more recently lost my elderly Mastiff cross Bordeaux, I know what it’s like as an owner to leave your pet with someone else. I therefore aim to make both you and your pet as comfortable as can be while you’re away and am very flexible to meets yours and their needs.

“Hannah has been absolutely fantastic with Teddy and they really bonded. Teddy loves it when we tell him he's going to Hannah's. I can sincerely recommend Hannah to look after your dog.”

“Jill was prompt to arrange a pre-meet and took lots of details ahead of the actual booking, and took time to learn about Monty ahead of his stay. On the actual day, Jill sent lots of photos and messages reassuring us that he was settled and enjoying himself. Would definitely use again.”

About: What sets me apart is the constant care and attention your dog will receive. I spent a lot of time with our family bulldog Drax, who has since passed, so I have real, hands-on experience with daily dog care and a deep understanding of their needs. I work from home, so dogs are never left alone and get plenty of companionship throughout the day. Depending on the age and health of your dog we can make walks on my lunch break longer or shorter, and adjust any weekend activities! I have a sunny, fenced garden with patio doors so your pup can enjoy being indoors and out, we also have a field at the back for nice walks.

“This was Rylee’s first visit to Jill. She kept me updated on how she was settling. Rylee seemed to settle quickly, going out for a walk first thing, enjoying cuddles and watering the garden. Wonderful experience, thank you x”

“It was lovely meeting Jenny. She is a lovely lady with an adorable pug. It was the first time we used Jenny and our 4 year old Bichon Bentley was very happy and relaxed with her and enjoyed his stay. Jenny kept us updated with photo’s which was a great help. Perfect for us and we will definitely be using her services again. Thanks Jenny”

About: Working from home on my product brand means either laying in the sun or cuddled up on the sofa. Being available all day means my dog Marco gets constant attention, it’s just a shame he’s more interested in other dogs affection. Your dog gets genuinely real constant company. I’m fully available to pay as much attention as the dog needs, I work around my dogs need for affection. We like to, cuddle, train and go for long walks on the beach. I have an enclosed garden with patio and grass for playing in. Marco is happy to share his toys. The house is a free for all for my dog.
About: Hi, I Qualified as a Veterinary Nurse in 2011, since then I’ve worked with lots of pets. I’m no longer in practice and have a home business so I’m home all day to take care of your pets. We have a large family home, enclosed garden and super dog walks right outside our front door. Our dogs are a huge part of our family, I always struggle to find someone who will love my girls as much as I do when we go away, so I thought why not provide someone with peace of mind when they go away! We have two daughters, Two Dalmatians and an elderly chihuahua. Our dogs are super friendly but we have a large enough home that any dogs that do need space or a more quiet break I can happily accommodate. Needless to say I’m happy with providing all required medications to your pet, including pets that are recovering from surgery. If you’d like to ask any questions please don’t hesitate to contact me I currently have a home business that I typically work from my office in our home around 1-2 hours a day. No set hours and I am my own boss so I set the rules! I have a good sized back garden that is fully fenced and secure. Lovely big house and has minimal clutter! I’m happy to accommodate all ages of dogs. I do have a large crate that can be set up in our second living room for any dogs that require a crate.
About: I have been caring for dogs of all kinds since I was 14 years old. Neighbors, friends, and family regularly rely on my help when it comes to pet sitting, feeding, and taking dogs for long, active walks. In 2021, I gained experience working at a dog daycare for six months, where I learned how to manage groups of dogs and care for their diverse needs. I have experience with both energetic puppies and senior dogs. I treat every pet individually, prioritizing their safety and well-being. Dogs are my passion, and spending time with them brings me genuine joy. Unfortunately, I don't currently have any pets. I would like to have a dog in the future but I can't afford it right now. I am currently studing, which allows me to be very flexible with my schedule. I attend classes only on Fridays and Saturdays, so I am fully available to care for your pets from Sunday to Thursday. I am dedicated to my personal growth and treat pet sitting with great responsibility, ensuring I have plenty of time for walks, play, and proper care throughout the week. Safety and trust are my top priorities. When caring for pets, I ensure a secure and calm environment tailored to their needs. I am a person who constantly learns and develops new skills to provide the best possible care. Whether in my home or yours, I maintain a strict routine, keep a close eye on the animals at all times, and make sure they feel comfortable and loved while their owners are away. If I am carrying for owners dogs I usually send pictures every single day to show that their pupils are safe and happy.

“Emma has been amazing! Emma walked our dog Lola while she was staying with my parents who can’t walk her as she is too strong. Emma is reliable and very friendly! It’s been a great peace of mind knowing Lola has had her own fab holiday with walks with Emma. We will definitely be using Emma again when Lola stays with my parents!”

“Charlotte was brilliant with Rusty again, great communication and fab pictures! He always looks like he’s having a great time and Charlotte keeps me up to date and reassured that he is okay whenever she is with him. Thank you!”

About: Whether it’s early morning walks, cozy cuddle sessions, or just being a calm and consistent presence, I believe every pet deserves love, respect, and a safe environment. I pay close attention to their needs, love learning about animal behavior, and always treat them like part of the family. Nothing makes me happier than seeing a wagging tail or hearing a happy purr! Pet care is a natural and essential part of my daily routine. I start my mornings by feeding and spending quality time with my pet—whether that’s a walk, playtime, or just some quiet bonding. I build my schedule around their needs, including regular exercise, grooming, and vet check-ups. Even during busy weeks, I make sure to carve out time for interaction and enrichment, because I believe pets thrive on consistency, love, and attention. They’re not just animals—they’re family. I care for pets with the same love and attention I give my own. Whether in my home or the pet owner's, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment. I follow feeding routines, provide fresh water, ensure regular exercise and playtime, and offer plenty of affection. If I’m in the owner’s home, I respect their space and stick to the pet’s usual schedule to reduce stress. I also send regular updates and photos to keep owners reassured and connected while they’re away.
About: I have a genuine love of animals and practical experience of caring for neighbours, friends and family pets. I also have theoretical knowledge a level 3 extended diploma in animal management. I am confident with daily walks, feeding schedules, following care instructions and making sure pets are safe, happy and always looked after whilst in my care. I am reliable, trustworthy and caring and will treat dogs as if they are my own. From Mondays to Fridays I currently volunteer for the Essex Wildlife Trust so I am flexible and free to dog walk and house sit your pets including at weekends. I train and play football for a local club but am happy to accommodate looking after your much loved pet around these commitments. From the beginning I will want to get to know your pet so I will spend time bonding with them, playing, talking and keeping them company. I know that pets like consistency so I will stay close to their normal routine which I will ensure I fully understand by asking for clear instructions from you. This includes knowing feeding times, portion sizes and any dietary needs and health requirements, where and when they are walked and their comfort toys and sleeping habits. I will add details of your vet to my pet plan should a medical emergency arise. If your pet uses your garden I will check that the gate is closed and the fences are secure before letting them out and I will then supervise and clean up their mess. I will send you regular updates and photos and of course report anything of concern immediately. I appreciate that it's not only your pet that I am responsible for but also your home which I will do my best to keep clean and tidy and follow any house rules that you give me.

About: We’ve had dogs since I was 5 years old including my own dog for 7 years. I’ve looked after friends & families dogs when they’ve gone away and regularly let my sisters dog out. I’ve been around dogs of all sizes, from a pug all the way up to a Great Dane. I currently work part time, so off Monday, Thursdays and Friday. Your dogs will be loved and looked after as if they were my own, with lots of company while you’re at work. I will give your pups the love and attention they need whilst your away, catering walks to their needs, whether it’s a short walk round the block or hours playing over the field and adventuring round the area.

About: I have owned dogs my entire life and am used to caring for and training active working breeds. I also have experience with senior dog care, as well as dogs with specific behavioural needs such as anxiety or reactivity. I am currently working part time managing my own holiday rental property. I have a young child in school. My schedule is very flexible so I will almost always be able to fit around your pets needs. As a pet sitter coming to your home you can expect me to ensure the environment is left safe and clean for your pet as per your instructions. I have been a holiday rental cleaner for AirBnB for many years and am used to all types of houses, so you can rest assured that your home is safe with me. Your pet’s wellbeing is always my priority and I will ensure that they are content before leaving your home.

About: I've always lived with dogs and times when I've lived with cats too! We often had a litter of puppies about when I was growing up! I now have a pug who is my fur baby. I understand that pets aren't "just a pet", they're family, so they all have their own needs and quirks and how important it is for you to have someone trustworthy. I'm not currently working at the moment so am flexible when I can offer my services to suit you and you fur baby's needs. I've got a friendly pug if your pet would like canine company, or I can care for them alone if preferred. Im often down the beach but can adapt to whatever your pets needs are. If they prefer someone to pop in and give fuss and less keen on exercise, I'm happy to do that too!
About: I’m a 19-year-old university student who has grown up surrounded by animals and genuinely loves caring for them. I have plenty of free time around my studies, so I’m able to offer flexible and reliable pet care. I’ve spent many of my summer holidays walking dogs for family and friends, keeping myself busy while doing something I truly enjoy. I’m also on my own fitness journey, so getting out for longer walks is something I actively enjoy — making dog walking a perfect combination of exercise, fresh air and spending time with animals. I’m comfortable around animals of all ages and personalities, and my experience goes beyond dogs: my cat has kittens several times a year, so I’m very familiar with caring for young, delicate animals and understand the patience, gentleness and attention they need. Most importantly, I’ll treat your pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, happy, loved and well cared for while they’re with me. As a university student, my schedule can be more flexible than a typical 9–5, meaning I can often give your dog plenty of time and attention throughout the day. Pet care serves as a wonderful break from my studies and allows me to spend time with animals which is my favourite hobby. I have a fenced garden, safe home and smoke-free environment. My cat is outdoors for most of the day, but is friendly and has been around dogs many times before with no issue. Whether your dog wants a two-hour adventure, a game of fetch in the garden, or simply someone to curl up beside, I’m happy to work around what makes them comfortable. If you choose me to take care of your furry friend, I guarantee regular updates, photos, my undivided attention and fast reply rates.
About: Hi, I’m Steph :) I have been bought up with dogs all of my life; when I was a baby I had our pet Rottweiler by my side 24/7. Then throughout my childhood we had red setters, retired greyhounds & staffy’s as part of the family. I currently have a little staffy named Blue. She is almost 9 years old and is a complete softy who needs cuddles all day long. Which is why she needs three walks per day, to have a break from the cuddles ;). I absolutely love animals, dogs especially because their personalities are so bubbly and unique. I love keeping active so dog walking/sitting is an absolute dream of mine, and seeing doggos happy makes me so happy too. I hope to shake paws with you soon 🐾 I currently work independently for myself from home, so I am flexible for all timings, 7 days per week. All I ask is to have 1 week notice for all bookings. Ideally I would like to have some homes that I can visit on a regular, long term basis so I can really get to know your pets and they get to know me :) All of my services will be home visit based and I will gladly provide all of the care and attention your pet needs for the duration of the time I am with them. I am very caring and attentive when it comes to animals, so you will return to a very happy pet when you come home. I am happy to feed and walk and provide any extra attention that your pay needs.
About: I’ve grown up around animals and have been caring for pets since I was around 10 years old. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats, as well as pets of different ages, personalities and routines. I know how important it is to feel completely comfortable with the person looking after your pets, so I always take the time to understand their normal routine, likes, dislikes and any individual needs. I work from home, which gives me lots of flexibility and means I can spend plenty of time with the animals in my care rather than leaving them alone for long periods. I’m happy to follow feeding and walking routines, provide lots of playtime and attention, and of course give plenty of cuddles to pets who want them! My aim is for your pet to feel safe, settled and loved while you’re away and for you to be able to relax knowing they’re in good hands. I work from home which gives me much larger availability to care for my own animals and to give me time to care for others. I live at home with my mum so thankfully we also have someone in for my dogs/cats and I am able to do the same for someone else. I work full-time from home, which gives me plenty of flexibility throughout the day. I can easily work pet care around my schedule, including regular feeding, toilet breaks, walks, playtime and lots of company. This also means pets in my care won’t be left alone for long periods. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I’ll follow their usual routine and any instructions you provide, including feeding, medication, walks and household rules. I make sure their environment is secure and pay close attention to their behaviour so I can spot if anything seems unusual. I also treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own.
“Eloise is a great dog walker. She is extremely friendly and easy to get on with, yet is professional and able to make an instant connection with dogs. She clearly is a dog lover. My dog Chico clearly reciprocates the affection and enjoys his walks and contacts with Eloise. I highly recommend Eloise.”

About: I’m a fun, caring animal lover who just wants the best for all animals! I currently volunteer at the Blue Cross and I’ve previously run a kennels & cattery so am confident with dogs and cats of all shapes, sizes and breeds. I’ve also worked for 2 zoos - one a mobile zoo with smaller animals such as reptiles and meerkats and the other a large zoo with everything from penguins to zebras so I’m used to a whole host of animal traits and characters, as well as meeting their needs. My work is very flexible and I work from home most of the time - if I do need to go out I often take the dog/s staying with me along, so they can enjoy a walk somewhere new at the same time🙂 My approach to looking after your pets? With love! Having had my own dogs since I was a child and more recently lost my elderly Mastiff cross Bordeaux, I know what it’s like as an owner to leave your pet with someone else. I therefore aim to make both you and your pet as comfortable as can be while you’re away and am very flexible to meets yours and their needs.

“First time booking with Hannah we had a pre meet obviously nervous leaving our lab with someone we’d only meet through the booking site. When we dropped her off our lab tottered off had a wonder round greeted by all the family loved the attention she made herself at home and I felt at ease she’d be okay we had daily updates with photos and videos she looked happy on all them. We look forward to booking with Hannah again she certainly gave 5 star top class service. Thank you Hannah and family.”

“Words can’t say how happy I was with Chester’s care. It truly was home from home. I could see that he was treated as one of the family including the children. I liked that he could cuddle on the sofa in the evening with Jodie as he does with me at home and he had the freedom of the house. I would 100% recommend her. fabulous family environment”

“Tom looked after Enola (our 18 month old flat coat retriever) and she had a great time. Tom was super flexible and kept us informed about our dog happiness with overwhelming us with information! We were able to kick back and enjoy a local festival (that did not allow dogs)!!”

“Judit and her lovely family made my dogs so welcome. They really looked after them and we received regular updates, photos and videos and it was so reassuring to see them having such a lovely time. I would definitely recommend them 100% and would definitely use them again in the future. Thank you guys :) xx”

About: Hi, I Qualified as a Veterinary Nurse in 2011, since then I’ve worked with lots of pets. I’m no longer in practice and have a home business so I’m home all day to take care of your pets. We have a large family home, enclosed garden and super dog walks right outside our front door. Our dogs are a huge part of our family, I always struggle to find someone who will love my girls as much as I do when we go away, so I thought why not provide someone with peace of mind when they go away! We have two daughters, Two Dalmatians and an elderly chihuahua. Our dogs are super friendly but we have a large enough home that any dogs that do need space or a more quiet break I can happily accommodate. Needless to say I’m happy with providing all required medications to your pet, including pets that are recovering from surgery. If you’d like to ask any questions please don’t hesitate to contact me I currently have a home business that I typically work from my office in our home around 1-2 hours a day. No set hours and I am my own boss so I set the rules! I have a good sized back garden that is fully fenced and secure. Lovely big house and has minimal clutter! I’m happy to accommodate all ages of dogs. I do have a large crate that can be set up in our second living room for any dogs that require a crate.
