About: Hi, I’m Maria! 🐾 I am home full-time with my dog Teddy by my side. We love canine company and would be delighted to welcome your furry friend into our home. I'm available for full day care, and possibly overnight stays. Our home is calm and child-free, making it an ideal environment for dogs who need a peaceful space. Teddy is a small dog who is great with other dogs and enjoys having playmates to share his day with. We have a secure garden where they can play safely. Since I'm here around the clock, your dog will receive plenty of attention, care, and companionship throughout their stay -they'll never be left alone for long periods. I’m at home all day. My little dog is walked by 10am most mornings and then has the use of the garden for the rest of the day. In the nicer weather he may get more walks!! I have a secure garden for dogs to enjoy, including a safely fenced-off pond area so they can explore while staying protected. Safety is always my priority.
“When it comes to sitters Sarah is 5*. He kind and caring nature makes you feel at such ease that your pet is being taken care of! Daily updates with pictures of what they have been up too that day! We will always be asking Sarah to look after our Otis when we require!”
About: I have grown up surrounded by animals - from little hamsters and bunnies to all sorts of dogs! I've got lots of experience around different sized dogs so understand their temperaments, behaviour and overall fun nature. I absolutely love dogs and taking them for woodland adventures around our home. I have a baby at home too who absolutely loves meeting new furry faces! I am relied on to look after family and friend dogs, to keep them well fed and entertained, often exhausted by the time they return home! I'm currently on maternity leave and when I return to work I will be working from home so will be highly available for both weekdays and weekends! I'm currently on maternity leave, so I have plenty of time to cater to and play with your dog! Myself and my partner take our baby out on daily walks and like to switch up the locations to give her good stimulation - these include going to fields, parks, forests and river walks - so why not have your little furry friend come along and enjoy the fun? Being on maternity leave with the ability to work from home on my return enables me to be quite available and flexible with my time. I own a 3-bedroom/3-story house with a fenced garden, so there is ample space for your little fur ball to run around and explore! Having a baby at home ensures that everything is kept clean and tidy, so your dog will have enough space for all their kit!
“Martin looks after Pippa whenever we go away. I trust him and know that Pip has an amazing time in the home from home environment at Martins. I cant thank or praise Martin and his family enough for the love and care they give to Pippa, and the total peace if mind this gives to me. Thank you Martin we will see you again soon.”
“Inga is highly recommended by us!! Herself and her family treated our dog as their own and gave her so much love and attention. We received regular updates and pictures which showed us how much our dog was enjoying herself. We would definitely use Inga as a sitter again:)”
“What a wonderful boarding experience for myself and River. I was updated daily with pictures and videos of a very happy River enjoying herself with her hosts. I cannot express how good Sarah and Christian looked after her for 2 weeks with no incident. I think River had a better holiday than we did in Cyprus! We will be referring and using Sarah again in the future.”
“I would absolutely recommend booking with Monica. Communication was great, with updates and photos. I felt very comfortable leaving Murphy as from our initial meeting I knew Murphy was going to get lots of care and attention. I would definitely book again when needed.”
“Everything went really well from start to finish with Dee. Doug was so happy living with his new buddy Ron that I'm not sure if he really wanted to come home. I would highly recommend.”
“Chelsea was lovely. She was cheerful and friendly and we knew that Bluey would be well looked after and have a good time. We would definitely recommend Chelsea and would gladly have her look after Bluey in the future.”
“Champion and Cinnamon were very well cared for. They were happy to be with you. You were very professional and loving with the puppies. We hope to see you soon. Thank you so much for the care you gave my puppies.”
“We feel lucky and very relieved to have found Karen and Anthony. They looked after our 2 girls, a spaniel and a terrier for 5 days. Millie is a very nervous little girl but she soon relaxed, as we saw on the photos they sent us. In fact it was evident that both the girls' behaviour was much the same as at home. Karen had found out all their individual foibles and little habits, like Bess'habit of lying on our head when it's time to get up. The dogs were free to go wherever they wanted in the house, as well as on the furniture and the bed. Karen was honest about how their stay went, telling us about a couple of little hiccups and how they were resolved. The garden there is very big, and adequately fenced, even a tiny dog like Millie was safe. They had nice walks and games in the garden like retrieving balls and finding hidden snacks etc. They enjoyed playing with toys belonging to Bodie, their own spaniel as well. When we collected the girls they were their usual self, relaxed and happy. They looked well and shared their attention between Karen and us, treating us all much the same. We are extremely happy with Karen and Anthony's understanding of dogs, and with their intuitive recognition of individual needs and likes. We feel that we have found the ideal "dogsitters", which enables us, for the first time, to go away without the dogs.”
About: I have previously dog sat solidly for about two years back in London and have now moved to the countryside where I have the perfect farm set-up to give your dog a break. Theres plenty of outdoor space to explore, a fully fenced field and garden, and lots of great local walks. I do have dog-friendly children and cats as well as chickens and pigs that are fenced separately. I have had our my dogs for years but don’t currently have one. I work from home, so there’s always someone around. The back door is always open so they are very much free to roam and plenty of company when they want it. I have a large fully fenced garden with a separate fenced section within it. Theres lots of space and room to explore - it is a quiet area with no traffic or noise.
About: I work from home and live with my little 3 year old Labrador. I’ve looked after many dogs previously and quite often end up with my families dogs coming to stay as well. I’m up and out by 7ish with my Labrador, and she gets 3 good walks a day, either at the park or the beach or longer on a weekend when we can go exploring I have a fenced garden with grass and patio, my dog is very friendly and sociable so will play nicely along with others. I work from home so plenty of toilet breaks and multiple cuddles during the day
“This was our first time using Cayman and we will definitely be using her again! She was very easy to communicate with to schedule a meet and greet and was absolutely amazing with our pups for the week she had them. Thanks again for such a great experience!”
“Lubomira spoilt my Maya rotten! I was showered with photos and videos the whole time I was away to keep me at ease and let me know what she was up to! Maya thoroughly enjoyed her stay. I have already rebooked!! Thank you very much for looking after my fur baby so well :)”
About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life. I grew up with family dogs and was lucky enough to own a lovely Spaniel myself, so I understand just how much our pets mean to us. I also have spent eight years working alongside working dogs in the Civil Service, which gave me great experience around dogs with different personalities, needs, and routines. Above all, I genuinely love animals and enjoy spending time with them. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the sofa, or simply having company throughout the day, I’ll make sure they feel happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work Monday to Friday and have the flexibility of working from home on certain days. However, when I agree to look after your dog, I will ensure that I am not working so that I can give them the time, attention, and care they deserve. I enjoy being active and love going on long walks, so your dog will have plenty of opportunities for exercise, enrichment, and outdoor adventures. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I have a secure, fenced garden where dogs can safely enjoy time outdoors, and I live just a 5-minute walk from a large open playing field, perfect for walks, exercise, and playtime. I take great pride in caring not only for dogs but also in maintaining a clean, safe, and welcoming home environment.
“We can highly recommend Lloyd. We left our two dogs with him and they had a Brilliant time. He sent us messages and photos of the boys and left totally safe leaving them with him”

“Jenni is just amazing with our two little Cats, we have used her quite a few times now. It’s lovely to receive pictures of our two furry creatures and Jenni keeps us updated, would definitely recommend 🥰”
“This was the second time Grace has looked after my cats. As before, she was efficient and friendly. Even my shy cat Arthur put in an appearance and she sent me photographic evidence to prove it. 😸”
“Michaela was absolutely wonderful. She’s incredibly kind and warm, and our kittens took to her immediately which says everything. Her attention to detail was spot on; she followed all instructions perfectly and checked in regularly with thoughtful updates. If she was ever unsure about anything, she asked rather than guessing, which we really appreciated. We also came home to a spotless house, exactly as we left it... which, with two kittens, is no small feat. On top of all that, she’s genuinely easy to talk to and very reassuring. We wouldn’t hesitate to book her again and would recommend her without reservation.”
About: I have owned cats my whole life! I am cat obsessed and own 2 cow cats myself. I have had experience of working with long hair and short haired breeds as I have regularly taken care of my mums ragdoll cat who requires lots of brushing and walks in a pet stroller (he’s very spoilt).
“Skye did an overnight cat sit with our cat Lilith for one night. Skye was communicative, sent photo updates and followed all instructions very well. I would recommend Skye for catsitting and would definitely rebook again. Thank you Skye!”

“Really happy with Mia looking after our two cats. One can disappear for a couple of days at a time but she managed to get her in every day while we were away. Daily photo updates too! We'll definitely ask her again!”
“Brilliant pet sitter, went above and beyond to look after my cat and the house, flexible to changing plans and just a lovely person. Would definitely recommend and will be rebooking for future trips away. :)”
“Tania was a wonderful cat sitter for us whilst we went away, she came in at short notice, did everything we asked, did her best to bond with our 2 cats despite them being very shy around new people. The daily updates were perfect & put us at ease as we had never used a service like this before. Cannot recommend Tania enough :)”

“Charlotte was brilliant and so wonderful with Rusty, it was the first time we have left him and had someone come in to see him and let him out. Even though he was a little nervous Charlotte communicated with me straight away and encouraged him gently out into the garden for a wee and a play. 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”
“Lucy looked after our cat Lilith for a weekend. We were able to meet with Lucy before the sit, which was helpful and put our minds at ease. Lucy was communicative during the sit, followed the intructions accurately, sent us photo updates, and left the house in great condition for us to come back to. I was confident leaving Lilith with Lucy and would definitely recommend this sitter.”

“It was obvious Miguel had an amazing time with Becky from the way he has been so chill coming home but also the way he was leaning against her and wanting a fuss when we were leaving! Becky was excellent at communicating on Miguel and we felt totally at ease to leave him to have a doggy daycare. Thanks so much again Becky and we will all look forward to seeing you again 🥰”
“Benji had an absolutely amazing time with Maria and her little dog. He came home very happy and tired. Maria was lovely and very caring. I would highly recommend Maria to anyone wanting a doggie minder!”
“Always a real pleasure to leave Benji with Simon and Emma. He always has a fantastic time (we get pics throughout the day) and he comes home suitably pooped and ready for a good sleep. Buddy (their pooch) is fantastic, and just an all around pleasure. Highly recommend. Is our go-to!”
“First time Rory stayed with Amy. It went very well. He walked straight into her house. He was made to feel so welcome. He was already settled in the living room when I left. He had, by all accounts, a great day if the photos are anything to go by, with a couple of walks, and endless ball games. When I picked him up, he was his usual happy self which tells me he had a great day. Will definitely be asking Amy again when the need arises. Thank you so much Amy”

About: I've always adored dogs, ever since I was a child begging my parents every day for one. Dream granted when I was 10! We had a tri-coloured rough collie, and I have been infatuated ever since. I've helped family administer medication orally or via syringe to our old sausage dogs who had diabetes, walked and played with the border collie and rough collie, and currently assist with walking the elderly greyhounds in my new residence. Dogs make my day better, and I am still prone to pointing out every dog I see in public! I am currently exploring new career paths (previously working in IT for 4 years), so am currently available most days! Please reach out and ask - I can probably make it work :) There are two elderly greyhounds in my new home so I cannot host any other pets at my house. In an owner's home, I would ask if there are any specific requirements for the pet(s) and make notes on this. I tend to speak a lot in a soft voice to animals that are nervous, and give them space if needed. For more outgoing pets, I can act more rambunctious and play! If they like cuddles, I'm all for that, too!
About: I’ve grown up around a range of different animals and have my own Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and British Shorthair cat, so I understand caring for both playful puppies/ kittens and also older dogs/ cats needing gentle handling.

I hold level 2 qualifications in Animal Nursing, Animal Management and Dog Grooming, and level 3 Dog Grooming.i also have experience working in a mobile zoo with a range of different animals so im comfortable with a lot of different animals and will be happy to take care of any extra pets in your home. ⚠️⚠️⚠️ I offer a 30 mile radius from both Stowmarket Suffolk or Diss Norfolk (as i live at both) for house sitting and overnight care, but for shorter services like dog walking and drop-ins, I prioritise local bookings around a 15 mile radius to keep travel time fair and affordable. Please feel free to message me !! I’m very happy to discuss and see if I can help Pet care fits well around my weekly routine. I currently offer late evening after my job ( i finish around 4-6) but mainly weekends, friday’s and overnight services, i also have i enjoy caring for animals and look forward to making more time for pet sitting, walking and grooming 🖤 I treat every pet in my care as if they were my own with lots of love, patience and attention to their individual needs. I’m mindful of routines, dietary needs, and preferences, and I take time to build trust with each animal so they feel comfortable and secure.

About: Hi! My name is Ty and i’m a pet sitter (also dog whisperer on the side as i’ve been told!) I’ve had dogs my whole life and am very good with understanding body language, keeping them entertained and happy. I have looked after bigger pups such as rottweilers ans bull terriers, down to the little pups like jack russels and pugs! I am also happy with cats and small animals such as fish, lizards, rabbits etc, alongside larger animals like horses, farm animals etc. I’m happy for any requests and will do my best to accommodate you and your pets! Will send lots of updates whilst I am there and keep you fully updated with what’s going on. IMPORTANT: I do now work a roughly 24 hour work week. I will try my absolute best between me and my partner to provide care, and will let you know days/hours I am working and any times where me or my partner will not be there (so the pet will be alone.) IF you are only looking for a day or two, there’s a good chance they will not be alone. For the reason above I can no longer offer constant 24/7 care, and pets must be able to be left alone for a couple of hours on their own. Please do message me if you have any requests or questions! I only work a 24hr week, which allows plenty of time to fit in the needs of your pet/s. I have always had pets at home too and absolutely understand what they need. I offer pet sitting at your home, I will follow any instructions given no matter what they are, and can try anything you ask of me, like tricks, special requests such as specific walks, medicine, foods etc.

About: I have taken care of friend’s dogs for years and had the joy of getting my own last year. I’ve also tried to be helpful to local organisations when I can. I’m currently working self employed so I’m happy to discuss days. Plus free all day on Mondays and Tuesdays. Looking forward to working with owners on a schedule that works best for us both. I have a fenced yard for my dog Eko at home and a big enough garden for her to run around in. I won’t be taking dog’s back to my house but wanted to let you know the situation there.
About: I’ve been raised around dogs my entire life and have experience with all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. My mum was a licensed 5-star dog breeder, and I spent years helping her with rearing puppies, daily care, socialization, feeding, cleaning, and handling dogs at all stages of life. This lifelong exposure has given me strong confidence, hands-on skills, and a deep understanding of dog behavior and needs. I’m calm, reliable, and comfortable managing different personalities, energy levels, and care routines. Dogs have always been part of my life, and I treat every one as if they were my own. I am currently the owner of two dogs, my pride and joy. I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember and couldn’t imagine a world without them. I’m very knowledgeable in almost all aspects of pet care, and I take great pride in providing safe, loving, and responsible care. Animals aren’t just a job to me — they’re a genuine passion, and I treat every pet I look after as if they were my own.

About: Most recently l worked for a dog sitting company and had lots of different sizes and abilities of pooches, staying with me. I am no longer able to offer boarding at my home, however l have recently started housesitting in the pets own Home, l am green fingered so can look after your plants and garden too. I want you to have peace of mind while you are away, l am very house proud and so will take good care of your home and your furry friend. I think it’s really important for you to return from your break to find your furry pals with the same behaviours and routines as you left. And they’ll have plenty of walks and cuddles whilst with me. I love to run and keep fit so if you’re pooch is able that can come too. I am currently house sitting at the moment for 3 characterful cats. I’m currently taking a break from the 9-5 so l can offer your pet all my attention, so keeping their normal schedule and plenty of belly rubs included I will care for your pets exactly how you do, hate to say it but they won’t even notice you’ve gone … that is until you return!
About: I have been around dogs since I was young, I bond with them really easily and my dog at home is my responsibility, from feeding to washing ! Currently unemployed uni graduate living at home with tonnes of spare time. We have a big big field, 1 horse and one Shetland pony! Plenty of space for playing!! Currently unemployed post grad uni student. I decided to move back home with my parents after living in London for 4 years for my mental health and dog sitting would be a great pass time! I put them play with them make sure they’re entertained clean them, feed them and make sure that they are in the house before dark (rabbits we had, but have now passed)
About: I currently live in the countryside with my partner and our cocker spaniel Albie! I have grown up around animals my whole life and couldn’t see a lifewithout them! I would love to be able to be an extra companion for your dog, cuddle buddy, walk mate or someone you can rely on when life gets busy! I am keen to help with walks, drop in visits and at home stays. Due to my experience with animals my whole life, I am comfortable with animals of all ages. I look forward to meeting your fury friends! I work nights as a carer so most days I am free to assist with your pets. Due to my sleep pattern, a few days notice is preferable but I am happy to help at short notice where I can! I am happy to adhere to any safety adjustments you have set for your pet, whether that be crate training when staying in your home or using safety leads. I never walk my pets in areas I am unfamiliar with to avoid any safety concerns when out and about.

“Simon put us at ease straight away and Jeffrey was at home from home. Jeffrey appeared to settle in well and Simon sent regular photos. We were very happy with the care Jeffrey received whilst staying with Simon and we would definitely book him again in the future. Thank you Simon and family”
“When it comes to sitters Sarah is 5*. He kind and caring nature makes you feel at such ease that your pet is being taken care of! Daily updates with pictures of what they have been up too that day! We will always be asking Sarah to look after our Otis when we require!”
About: I have grown up surrounded by animals - from little hamsters and bunnies to all sorts of dogs! I've got lots of experience around different sized dogs so understand their temperaments, behaviour and overall fun nature. I absolutely love dogs and taking them for woodland adventures around our home. I have a baby at home too who absolutely loves meeting new furry faces! I am relied on to look after family and friend dogs, to keep them well fed and entertained, often exhausted by the time they return home! I'm currently on maternity leave and when I return to work I will be working from home so will be highly available for both weekdays and weekends! I'm currently on maternity leave, so I have plenty of time to cater to and play with your dog! Myself and my partner take our baby out on daily walks and like to switch up the locations to give her good stimulation - these include going to fields, parks, forests and river walks - so why not have your little furry friend come along and enjoy the fun? Being on maternity leave with the ability to work from home on my return enables me to be quite available and flexible with my time. I own a 3-bedroom/3-story house with a fenced garden, so there is ample space for your little fur ball to run around and explore! Having a baby at home ensures that everything is kept clean and tidy, so your dog will have enough space for all their kit!
“Martin looks after Pippa whenever we go away. I trust him and know that Pip has an amazing time in the home from home environment at Martins. I cant thank or praise Martin and his family enough for the love and care they give to Pippa, and the total peace if mind this gives to me. Thank you Martin we will see you again soon.”
“What a wonderful boarding experience for myself and River. I was updated daily with pictures and videos of a very happy River enjoying herself with her hosts. I cannot express how good Sarah and Christian looked after her for 2 weeks with no incident. I think River had a better holiday than we did in Cyprus! We will be referring and using Sarah again in the future.”
“Everything went really well from start to finish with Dee. Doug was so happy living with his new buddy Ron that I'm not sure if he really wanted to come home. I would highly recommend.”
“Champion and Cinnamon were very well cared for. They were happy to be with you. You were very professional and loving with the puppies. We hope to see you soon. Thank you so much for the care you gave my puppies.”
About: I have previously dog sat solidly for about two years back in London and have now moved to the countryside where I have the perfect farm set-up to give your dog a break. Theres plenty of outdoor space to explore, a fully fenced field and garden, and lots of great local walks. I do have dog-friendly children and cats as well as chickens and pigs that are fenced separately. I have had our my dogs for years but don’t currently have one. I work from home, so there’s always someone around. The back door is always open so they are very much free to roam and plenty of company when they want it. I have a large fully fenced garden with a separate fenced section within it. Theres lots of space and room to explore - it is a quiet area with no traffic or noise.
About: I work from home and live with my little 3 year old Labrador. I’ve looked after many dogs previously and quite often end up with my families dogs coming to stay as well. I’m up and out by 7ish with my Labrador, and she gets 3 good walks a day, either at the park or the beach or longer on a weekend when we can go exploring I have a fenced garden with grass and patio, my dog is very friendly and sociable so will play nicely along with others. I work from home so plenty of toilet breaks and multiple cuddles during the day
“This was our first time using Cayman and we will definitely be using her again! She was very easy to communicate with to schedule a meet and greet and was absolutely amazing with our pups for the week she had them. Thanks again for such a great experience!”
“Lubomira spoilt my Maya rotten! I was showered with photos and videos the whole time I was away to keep me at ease and let me know what she was up to! Maya thoroughly enjoyed her stay. I have already rebooked!! Thank you very much for looking after my fur baby so well :)”
About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life. I grew up with family dogs and was lucky enough to own a lovely Spaniel myself, so I understand just how much our pets mean to us. I also have spent eight years working alongside working dogs in the Civil Service, which gave me great experience around dogs with different personalities, needs, and routines. Above all, I genuinely love animals and enjoy spending time with them. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the sofa, or simply having company throughout the day, I’ll make sure they feel happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work Monday to Friday and have the flexibility of working from home on certain days. However, when I agree to look after your dog, I will ensure that I am not working so that I can give them the time, attention, and care they deserve. I enjoy being active and love going on long walks, so your dog will have plenty of opportunities for exercise, enrichment, and outdoor adventures. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I have a secure, fenced garden where dogs can safely enjoy time outdoors, and I live just a 5-minute walk from a large open playing field, perfect for walks, exercise, and playtime. I take great pride in caring not only for dogs but also in maintaining a clean, safe, and welcoming home environment.
“We can highly recommend Lloyd. We left our two dogs with him and they had a Brilliant time. He sent us messages and photos of the boys and left totally safe leaving them with him”
“Friendly & welcoming. Gitana is lovely & very professional. Our dog Loki is quite large but Gitana is an extremely capable of looking after larger breeds. Was also kept up to date with some lovely photos. Will absolutely use Gitana the next time I need a dog sitter. Cannot recommend highly enough.”
“Serena was brilliant with our dog. We had an initial meeting beforehand so that we could all meet before the stay. This helped to put us at ease and familiarise our dog with Serena and her home and also gave Serena chance to meet the dog and she what she was like before having her stay. During the stay we had regular updates, our dog was well looked after and had plenty of attention and walks.”
“Philip was absolutely brilliant looking after my greyhound, Coco. She came home very calm and settled after her stay. He took her on some really nice walks and sent plenty of photo updates, which was very reassuring. Philip and his wife have a lovely home and it was clear Coco felt comfortable there. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with him again and would happily recommend him to others. Thank you very much!!”
“We cannot recommend Bob & Sue enough. They treated our dog like he was their own and we will definitely be booking them again. Our dog can be a little funny with strangers but he straightaway took to them both so we knew he would be happy there. We got a message with a photo or video each day which was lovely. And i think they have even given him a bath 😊 thank you very much Bob & Sue!”
“So lucky to have found Laura. Wonderful communication from start to finish, photos and videos and updates sent throughout the stay Bear was obviously very well taken care of. Would not hesitate to recommend Laura”
