“Alix was great from start to finish. Great communication with plenty of photos for reassurance. Chewy loved her stay and came home really happy and well exercised.”
“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.”
“Buddy had a great time here and loved playing with a friend and enjoying the outdoors and weather. He came back absolutely knackered and is missing his little play friend! Would definitely recommend and book again!”
“Wade and Michelle took amazing care of our very nervous and quite high maintenance dog, Cookie. They very kindly met Cookie in advance, and during the stay sent regular updates and photos of them on walks and snuggling on the sofa. They are a lovely family and we will be using them again.”
“Winter's second stay with Inga and her family. You could tell she was well cared for in the regular pictures and updates we received. We will definitely use Inga again in the future :)”
“Golnar was wonderful with our dog, Scully. We appreciated her regular updates and photos during the weekend we were away. Scully was clearly happy, enjoying lots of walks and cuddles on her dog holiday! We really appreciated how accommodating Golnar and her husband were—dropping Scully off at our home since we don’t have a car. Would definitely board Scully with them again!”
About: I first became a "dog Mum" 15 years ago to our Westie, Elland, who sadly we lost recently. I sadly was that annoying "Dog Mum" who had pictures of her on my desk and booked holiday for her birthday each year. I took voluntary redundancy nearly 6 years ago so have been fortunate to spend quality time at home with her and take her out and about on our own or with her other doggy friends. Unfortunately she lost her hearing about 3 years ago so learnt quickly how to communicate with her with some basic sign language. She also developed dry eye disease so I had to administer drops 5 times each day. Two of these were determined by time so I had to ensure I was available to give her these on time. The last 5 months of her life, her arthritis worsened so I bought a buggy to help her whilst out for daily walks/sniffs. I have also looked after family dogs whilst they have been on holiday and have accomodated raw feeding for one of family dogs. I live with my husband in a bungalow. He still works but is here in the evenings and at weekends. I work during examination periods at a local college but can accomodate pet sitting around this as dates are known well in advance. My contract with the college is ona casual basis so dog sitting will be my priority. We have used a local dog sitter who stayed in our home when we went on holiday. I therefore understand the importance of providing important information to the pet sitter when leaving the pet. When I first stopped working I volunteered for a local hospice helping support a family who used their services, by walking their dog on a weekly basis to give them some respite and also encourage the dog to socilise. I did this for 12 months. I also volunteered at Wood Green Animal Charity during Covid restrictions. Although I was there to help in the fundraising office, we often had dogs who weren't settling in kennels, come and sit with us in the office for the day. Some were quite withdrawn so I learnt how to slowly gain their trust. I am retired so home all day. My husband works full time but is home in the evenings and at weekends. I do some casual exam invigilating but I know dates for this in advance so will not take on any work if pet sitting is booked. I am happy to be led by the owners on when and what activity their dog (s) are used to so am pretty flexible. I have acess to my own car so can take the dog to any appointments if required. I have a fully fenced in garden (6ft) I live in a village with lots of access to quiet walks in the countryside if required, as well as walks within the village itself. I am happy to book out local secure dog fields if agreed with the owner but this will involve driving to nearby fields. As previously mentioned we live in a bungalow so no stairs. We are based in a quiet cul-de-sac so if your dog is reactive to traffic, should not be a problm here. I have space for a medium size crate if required.
“We are so incredibly grateful to Suey for how she looked after our dog. This was a very last minute booking and Suey was so gracious through the whole process. Ettore was well looked after, happy, all his needs were met and my husband and I were worried that he wouldn’t want to come home! Thank you so very much! We will most certainly ask Suey to look after Ettore again!”
“Caroline provided care for our dog during our recent holiday for a week. Our dog is a good boy but he has a tendency to bark and struggles with some other dogs. Caroline went above and beyond with making us feel comfortable about leaving him with her for the week and provided plenty of videos and photos of him during our time away. We are now totally confident in using her services and will do so next time we want to go away.”
“May is absolutely amazing! She is a true animal lover and an incredibly trustworthy dog sitter. We are so happy we found her,she is an absolute diamond! She looked after our dog, Kuma, for five days while we were on holiday, and we couldn't have asked for better care. Kuma absolutely loves her, and it was clear she treated him as if he were her own dog. May went above and beyond anything we expected. She brushed him every day, cleaned his teeth, washed him with suitable products, and even spoiled him with delicious treats. Most importantly, she kept us updated throughout our trip with regular messages and photos, giving us complete peace of mind. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog, and we couldn't be more grateful. We highly recommend May to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and dedicated dog sitter. Thank you so much, May!”
“Rocio took great care of our dog during an overnight stay. She has a big backyard and plenty of toys to keep the dogs entertained. Our dog instantly took a liking to her and was very reluctant to come back home ?”
“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 :)”
“Janet and Bruce are just extraordinary. Their love of dogs is reflected clearly in the care and attention they gave my boy. I was nervous to leave my dog as he’d only been away from me once before, but I have no hesitation in saying I would ask them to watch Jack again in a heartbeat. They are calm and experienced, and sent photos and videos during his stay, as well as making sure he was happy as can be with lots of exercise, play, and cuddles. It was obvious how much Jack loved his time there when it was time to collect him, too. I highly recommend them if you want a couple who will care for your dog(s) as if they were their own. I couldn’t be happier and wish I could give them extra stars! Thank you both so much.”
“Florence was as excited to see Maria as she is when greeting us. This was wonderful to see and is the biggest recommendation for how Maria looks after her. Thank you Maria, you're absolutely amazing.”
“Lauren is great! Very easy to communicate with, and her family looked after Momo very well with lovely long walks and lots of cuddles. Will definitely book again. Thank you”
“Holly had a wonderful stay with Sasha this week! Sasha was lovely, and came to meet us in advance so we would all know who we were trusting with Holly. During her stay, Sasha sent photos of Holly nearly every day - these reassured us that Holly had settled in and was having a good time. I'd give Sasha more than 5 stars if I could, and we will definitely look to book her again next time we need a dog sitter.”

“As always, Jasmine took great care of my babies. I arrived home to happy kitties and I always get updates and pictures. :-) she's so lovely and takes great care. Highly recommended. Thank you Jasmine x”
“Becky was a great cat sitter for our cats over Christmas. They both used to be feral, so strangers make them very nervous however, Becky was very respectful of this and looked after them without giving them any extra stress. Becky also went the extra mile when we were delayed getting back due to the storms. Will definitely book again!”
About: Caring for animals has always been important to me. I’ve spent time looking after dogs for family, friends, neighbours, plus my own, in the past. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved whilst their owners are away. From daily walks and playtime to maintaining routines. I provide reliable, attentive care and treat every dog as if they were my own. I am currently a stay at home mum, with both of my children at school. Therefore, I can be flexible and my days are free for long walks and playtimes. I have a large, safe and secure back garden. Dogs are free to roam all parts of the house except the bedrooms. Dogs are allowed on sofas for cuddles if needed.
“It was a relief to have Nichola look after my babies whilst I was away! She kept me updated regularly and was an absolute star sorting out my fiddly timed feeders bless her. Would definitely recommend 😊”
“Rhian did an incredible job housesitting over the Christmas period, she kept in communication, sent us lots of photos of our cat being well settled and happy. It was the calmest we’ve ever seen the cat after we’ve been away for a period - I would absolutely recommend Rhian to others! Thank you so much for all your help!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my whole life and have been personally caring for them for over 10 years. I trained my own Labrador from a puppy into the lovely adult she is today, so I’m confident with puppy behaviour, routine and gentle guidance 🫶🏼. Unfortunately I had to leave my Labrador, Maisie in the care of my parents, as I moved from Ireland to here in the UK, which has left me missing her terribly and wanting to give that love to other’s dogs 💗 I’ve also cared for senior dogs, including my childhood dog who was deaf and partially blind, which taught me patience and attentive care. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I treat every pet as if they were my own! I currently work part-time, which means I’m fully available for walks and drop-in visits on Tuesdays and Fridays between 9am–8pm. I’m happy to accommodate morning, afternoon, or evening visits within those hours and will always aim to be flexible where possible. I always stick closely to their usual routine to keep them feeling safe and comfortable. Whether it’s walks, feeding, toilet breaks or playtime, I make sure they get plenty of attention and care. I’ve raised my own Labrador from a puppy, so I understand how important consistency, patience and positive reinforcement are. I aim to leave both pets and owners feeling happy and reassured.
“Thank you again Stacey-Leigh! Stacey-Leigh has looked after Pippa several times now when we've been away, trust her completely and goes great peace of mind when travelling that Pippa is in safe hands”
“We really appreciated Alix's check in everyday for our two cats. She sent pictures daily and let us know that they were doing well, and cleaned their litter trays properly etc. Very happy with the service, would definitely recommend and would be very happy for Alix to look after our cats in the future.”
“Louise is a wonderful cat and house sitter. She is very responsive to communicate with online. She had no issues looking after our cat (including medicating him in our absence). She also kept us well informed during our absence, with cat updates, and of course plenty of photos. We will definitely be asking her to sit for us again, thank you Louise :).”
About: I have taken care of cats for a few years now and know that some can be very loving and friendly and some like their distance. Whatever the case I will always try and interact by playing with them or petting with them to see if they like it.
About: Hi there, My name is Alanna and I am a research nurse in Cambridge. I currently live in Newmarket but I am originally from Lancashire. I have grown up with many pets over my lifetime from rabbits, to dogs, to cats. I love all animals but cats share a special place in my heart. So much so that once I got my own place it wasn’t long before my partner and I adopted two cats of our own; Bella and Albie. When we adopted them they were semi-feral but with a lot of love, time and patience they have come out of their shells and are now permanently by our sides. I know how stressful it can be leaving your fur babies at home and I understand how important it is to feel like you have left them in good hands.
About: I've grown up always having cats around. First it was Minty, who my parents adopted just as I was born. She lived a very happy 16 years. And when I was 14 we took on 2 wonderful black sister kittens- Inka and Misty. They are still happy and thriving to this day at my mum's house in Soham. I live in Newmarket now, but when my mum and her hubby go away, they always turn to me for the cat sitting, knowing they've left the house in very capable hands. And, knowing that the cats will be in very cuddly arms! 2 years ago my mum adopted the senior cat Mabel. She has a few issues, the poor thing. But, she's an absolute delight and I always look out for her, and give her the special treatment that she deserves.
“Deborah looked after Dawn for a couple of hours for two days last week. I was very happy with her care. We kept in contact on rover. So conscientious as thought she had left one of the inside doors open so went back to check. Followed all instructions given. Will boom again 🐾🤗”
“Layla was an absolute star, looking after our cat Halo while we were away. From the photos Layla sent us through the app, we could see how much fuss she made of Halo and how Halo warmed to her very quickly. Layla also coped admirably with having to medicate Halo twice a day, which was a big relief for us. We won't hesitate to ask Layla to help us out again with drop-in visits when we're away. She was utterly trustworthy, completely reliable and we are soooo glad we found her!”
About: I’ve taken care of cats since childhood. We had a few stray cats in the neighbourhood, and I used feed them and play with them whenever I had time. I’ve also taken care of friends cats and always enjoyed it.
About: I've taken care of over 50 pets and I've lived in a house surrounded by pets so they get used to me quite easy. I sometimes attract pets outdoors.💖 I am quite flexible with my schedule so I can also sit last minute. Currently rent so I can't take them in my house but I can visit coffees or parks I normally enjoy playing with the animals, feed and clean after them. I am quite creative so it won't be boring, usually focusing on the pet

“Archie stayed for just the day today. I have one very tired, but happy boy 🐶🥰. I would deffo recommend a stay with Alix for your puppy - she is very caring and well organised. (And you get plenty of photos 😊)”
“It’s obvious Sharon is a natural with dogs and very easy to talk to. This was Milo’s first time for day care with Sharon and she kept me updated throughout the day with pictures and messages. He had a lovely walk by the river. Milo must have felt at home as he actually ate all his dinner which he won’t always do when we’re not around. Would highly recommend and have no hesitation booking again. Thank you Sharon.”
About: Hi my name is Steve and I have years of experience looking after friends' dogs and cats. I grew up with a labrador and (together with my wife and daughter) have been the proud owner of Sam, our (now almost) 7 year old cockapoo. Sam is very friendly, loves nothing more than chasing a tennis ball and cuddling on the settee with a blanket. I work from home and enjoy going for daily walks with Sam around the village and nearby Country Park, so your pet will have plenty of company and exercise during their stay. Your dog will also have full access to our enclosed rear garden, with plenty of space to play, and free access to the downstairs of the house. I am available for day care and boarding in our home, during the week and on most weekends. Before committing to any new bookings, I would like to meet your dog to ensure that your dog is happy to settle with our dog. Please contact me for any questions. I work from home and enjoy taking our dog for daily walks around the village and neaby Country Park, ensuring your dog will have plenty of company and exercise. Your dog would have free access to an enclosed rear garden with plenty of space to play and would also have full roam of the downstairs rooms (inluding access to comfy settees and blankets).
About: I am a psychology student with a flexible schedule. I have had pets my whole life, most notably my German Shepard, Zara and Staffordshire bull terrier, Byson but some honorable mentions include Minnie and Molly the mice and Alice and Rosalie the twilight themed bunnies. I also walked a small dog for money during my gcses. I live in a 4 bedroom flat with a balcony but there are grassy areas outside and a big park near by for walks, we are all pet lovers. I am completely free on Tuesdays, fridays and weekends for pet sitting and I can fit walks and drop ins around my lectures on Monday. I do not drive so dogs would either have to be dropped off or willing to ride the bus with me :)

“Amira loved her time with Inga & Bonnie. Amira is always scared around new people but she’s gotten used to Inga very quickly, which is great! Inga has been very patient with Amira’s constant demands to be petted.”
“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. She was reliable, caring, and made me feel confident that my dog was in good hands. I really appreciate her flexibility and would happily recommend her to others. Thank you!”
About: I’ve got 2 loving golden retrievers so who love attention and walks, our time is dedicated to our gorgeous dogs and yours would be treated the same. I currently work from home Monday through Friday, I do have to pop out on occasional appointments. I have 2 goldies at home with me who have 2 walks a day. Your dog would need to be ok with large dogs I have large fenced garden with plenty of running space, we have a dedicated boot room for the dogs. Charlie and Teddy are my 2 retrievers who love big playful dogs, I would like to meet any dog before having them stay.
“Jack has been excellent from start to finish with communication and care of our little staffy. Really accomadating throughout the stay and provided regular updates with pictures and our doggo seemed super happy. Highly recommend Jack to everyone!”
About: We are a family for four with a clean, tidy home, hard floors, rugs, and a good-sized, securely fenced garden that’s perfect for zoomies or gentle strolls. We’ve owned dogs for over 22 years, both small and medium breeds, and they have always been cherished members of our family. We have previously bred a litter, which we thoroughly enjoyed, and we’re experienced in puppy training, agility, nutrition, and caring for dogs with chronic health conditions. We’re also confident in recognising emergencies and knowing how to respond. Whether your dog enjoys long walks to burn off energy or shorter potters for your golden oldie, we’re happy to adapt to their individual needs. Our love of dogs extends beyond our own home— we organise an annual village dog show and are passionate supporters of animal rescue. We do have consistent house rules: dogs aren’t allowed on sofas, beds, or upstairs. If your dog already follows similar boundaries, we’ll happily maintain them during their stay. No limits on cuddles, tickles and attention. Over the past few years, we’ve sadly gradually said goodbye to our entire pack, all of whom lived to wonderful old ages. They gave us countless adventures, companionship, and treasured memories. Although we’re not quite ready or in a position to welcome another dog of our own just yet, our home feels empty without them, and we miss the joy, fun, and comfort that dogs bring. We’d love the opportunity to give your dog the same love, care, and attention that we’ve always given our own. We both work full-time, but one of us works from home with flexible hours, while the other works just a few minutes away and regularly pops home during the day. This means your dog will enjoy plenty of company, attention, and regular comfort breaks throughout the day. Our evenings and weekends are largely spent outdoors, whether relaxing and playing in the garden, kids activities, exploring local walks, or spending time with our horses. Dogs staying with us will be included in our active family life, with walks, playtime, adventure, and lots of human companionship, while a meeting their routine, exercise, and rest needs. Secure, fully fenced garden for safe play and exercise. We’re happy to follow your dog’s usual routine, whether they’re crate trained or not. If they prefer a cosy den rather than a crate, we have a comfortable ‘dog’ room where they can relax. You’re also very welcome to bring your dog’s own bed, blankets, or favourite things to help them feel settled and at home during their stay. In fact we’d think it odd if you didn’t.
“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!”
“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: I love dogs and cats, they love me in return. They contribute to my mental health. I've always been surrounded with pets. I've recently lost my best friend, Falco, you can see him on most of the pictures. I'm still grieving him so I wouldn't be able to get another dog. But I still need to be in contact with pets, hence this profile. I don't have many reviews because I created this profile a month before adopting Falco and I only came back to the UK in July! I like to believe Falco had the best life, we lived in England and France together, our bond was magical. He was part of my everyday life, I've chosen my job so that I would have a lot of free time to take care of him and go on long walks. He was part of every plan : going to the café, going on holidays, going to parties, he lived them all. You can count on me to take good care of your loved ones. I am a teacher, so I have a lot of free time. I've chosen to do this job to spend most of my time with my best friend Falco, he died six months ago. I usually work 8 to 4 but not every day and I have a lot of holidays! I would never give less than 4 walks a day to a dog, with at least 2 long walks (unless asked differently). I live in a 45m² one bedroom flat in a quiet village. There's a park literally in front of the house, and a forest next to it. The river is close, I have a car. We're going to have so much fun!
“My dog loves going to visit Bibiana and her family. It's a warm, safe environment and they clearly are 'dog people'. He sleeps for England when he comes home, he's had such a good time!”
About: I started dog and cat sitting for friends in 2020, and now have 6 years of experience. I’m patient, kind, and genuinely caring with every pet I look after. I grew up in a family with dogs, cats, and rabbits, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my whloe life. I have experience with a wide range of dog breeds, especially Shiba Inus, Akitas, Golden Retrievers, Shih Tzus, German Shepherd and Bichons. I am working in hybrid with 4 days at home. I have regular hobby morning/evening run. I might run slow but I love to running with dog. If your dog is not big fans of running, we can also have a walk around to explore the big park near my home. ☀️☀️ We also have AC at home to keep the temperature in 23°C during the heatwave, so your doggy will also be stay with cool and chill during their stay. 🧊🧊 I have a fenced yard and locked garden door to make sure the safety of the dog. I am also a person with full of energy, so if your pup love to play with me in the garden I will love to.

“Shani is excellent - luckily for Saffie she was available at short notice to walk Saffie whilst we were away for a few days. She was always on time, kept us updated and Saffie loved her walks with her. I would thoroughly recommend Shani and we would décousue her services again. Thanks Shani 🐾”

I love the outdoors so dog walking is my perfect past time. I’ve just retired so have loads of spare time on my hands to help look after your four legged loved ones. I walk my dog every day, but would ideally offer a one on one dog walking service to begin with and possibly introduce your dog to mine ? I am very trustworthy and reliable and respect other people’s property so I can genuinely say you’ll be completely satisfied with my services.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was about 9 years old, I would be left alone at home to care for 2 dogs and they ranged from small dogs (French bulldogs) to big dogs (English mastiff’s). I have a deep love for dogs, they have always been a big part of me and I’ve always had a dog growing up and would always be playing with them every chance I got! I am currently looking for work so I am available pretty much all the time! Would love to take car and walk some dogs to fill my time and so other people have the chance to go out and do things! I unfortunately cannot care in my own home as I have a cat who does not like dogs at all and for the dogs protection I would like to keep them away from my home as I would not like them to go home with any scratches or injuries. The dogs safety is what matters and I wouldn’t like someone else’s dogs having injuries, I have never looked after a dog and they be left with injuries. I make sure that I protect pets with my life as I am very much an animal based person!
About: I’ve always been a huge animal lover and understand just how important pets are as part of the family. Growing up, I had six cats and a Golden Labrador, and I now have a lovely Cocker Spaniel of my own, so I’m experienced with both cats and dogs and comfortable caring for pets of different ages and personalities. I work full-time as a Cardiac Physiologist at West Suffolk Hospital, and in my free time I enjoy taking my Cocker Spaniel on long walks, spending time in the garden, and being outdoors. I’m available for pet care in the mornings and evenings before and after work, as well as throughout the weekend. I can also offer overnight pet sitting when needed. If you’re looking for a reliable, caring, and experienced pet lover to look after your furry family members, I’d be delighted to help whenever I’m available. Please feel free to send me a message — I’d love to hear from you! 🙂 I work Monday - Friday 8-17:00 at West Suffolk Hospital, so am available mornings and evenings. I also have full availability on weekends, so please message me to find out more info. 🙂 I know how important it is to have someone reliable looking after your pets, and I’ll treat your cat with the same care and attention I’d give my own. Whether your cat loves cuddles and company or prefers their space, I’m happy to adapt to their personality and routine.
About: I have 8 years of experience dog sitting, house sitting, and baby sitting. I have also had a summer job working at a dog hotel. I have worked with old and young dogs and a variety of breeds so I am prepared to offer any care they require. I will also send you plenty of photos of you dog and our adventures. I will care for your dog as I would like mine to be cared for. I work for a charity and can work from home at least 3 days a week, but I can take more days at home if I am dog sitting. I will walk my dog during my lunch break and in the morning/after work so your dog can join in on these walks. I live in the countryside so there are plenty of lovely, quiet walks around me. On the weekends I will usually drive to the beach or a park for a longer walk. I feed my dog twice a day with a treat at night but happy to fit into your dogs schedule. In my home: - Dog safe garden, fully fenced off - Friendly dog (4 year old Parson Russel Terrier) - Dog treats, food, and plenty of toys - Dog beds and lots of space inside the house - Consistent food time and walk time to ensure routine - Dog shampoo to wash dogs if they are muddy - Dog seatbelt in my car In someone else's home: - I will follow the rules of the house - Make sure when I go, it looks like no one was there to stay - Clean the house every day - Tidy up dog poo in garden - Ensure your dog has a similar routine - Administer any medication required - Take bins out and other home tasks - Walks, food, play time, and cuddles with your dog - I will bring your dog a cute toy when I arrive
About: I have loved dogs ever since I can remember and have grown up taking care of them, including a diverse range of breeds. I have been a dog walker and pet sitter for neighbours in the past. I adore dogs and aim to give them the best experience as possible. I will care for them as if they are my own, giving them all the cuddles and walks a dog could dream of. I’m currently at home from university and so I have plenty of free time to care for your dog. I am available to walk your dog any days of the week and will give them plenty of cuddles and treats (only if their mom or dad allows it ofc!). There is also a large nature reserve two minutes away from which is the perfect place for your dog to sniff to their hearts content. I have a fenced garden for your dog to roam around in as well as a dog of my own to keep them company. His name is Louie (Lou Lou) — the most lovable dog you will meet. He is incredible sociable with other dogs but would also respects their space. He is only a young cockapoo! Our days are spent with lots of cuddles and belly rubs.
About: I’ve taken family friend’s dogs on walks and love to have a good play session with them! I have two beautiful cats and worked in a zoo for a year so I understand the importance of making sure everything adheres to their schedule! I’m currently at university and on break! Until September I’ll be free anytime and will be able to do evening drop ins after then! I’m careful to ensure fenced environments are safe and that the area is safe and clean for your dog! I understand that pets have varying needs and will make a checklist for all your pets specific needs so you will know what time everything has been done!
About: I have over 15 years experience looking after other people’s pets aswell as my own. I am pet first aid trained aswell as having full insurance and DBS checked. I currently run my own pet sitting & dog walking business and have regular dog walking clients so all my walks / pet sitting services will fit around that. I look after pets within their own home to ensure they are comfortable and familiar with their environment. I also ensure I meet the pets and their owners before starting any walking or pet sitting services.
About: I’m a dedicated and compassionate animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for a wide range of pets. I’ve successfully completed a Pet First Aid Level 2 course, equipping me with the skills to respond confidently and effectively in emergency situations. Raised with a deep respect and love for animals, I’ve cared for birds, fish, rats, guinea pigs, rabbits, chameleons, tortoises, dogs, cats, and hamsters. Whether it’s walking, playing, feeding, or simply spending quality time with them, I go the extra mile to make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved. I pride myself on being reliable, trustworthy, and passionate about what I do. You can count on me to treat your pets as if they were my own—always putting their well-being first and ensuring you receive the care and attention you expect. Throughout my life, I’ve cared for a wide variety of pets of all species and ages. During the COVID-19 pandemic, I dedicated much of my time to pet sitting and dog walking, providing essential care and companionship when it was needed most. Being around animals brings me genuine joy—I thrive on making them feel happy, safe, and loved. My top priority is making sure every pet feels happy, safe, and respected. I take the time to play with them, offer attention when they seek it, and always honour their individual boundaries and comfort levels. Whether they’re energetic or shy, I adapt to their needs to keep them engaged and content. Every animal deserves to feel loved and secure—and I’m committed to providing just that.
“Finding someone who treats your dog with love and dedication is rare, which is why I'm thrilled to have found Freya who not only ensures my dog is happy but also goes on long walks to make sure she expends all her energy while I'm at work. It's a relief and a joy to know my furry friend is in such good hands.”

“Caroline provided care for our dog during our recent holiday for a week. Our dog is a good boy but he has a tendency to bark and struggles with some other dogs. Caroline went above and beyond with making us feel comfortable about leaving him with her for the week and provided plenty of videos and photos of him during our time away. We are now totally confident in using her services and will do so next time we want to go away.”
“May is absolutely amazing! She is a true animal lover and an incredibly trustworthy dog sitter. We are so happy we found her,she is an absolute diamond! She looked after our dog, Kuma, for five days while we were on holiday, and we couldn't have asked for better care. Kuma absolutely loves her, and it was clear she treated him as if he were her own dog. May went above and beyond anything we expected. She brushed him every day, cleaned his teeth, washed him with suitable products, and even spoiled him with delicious treats. Most importantly, she kept us updated throughout our trip with regular messages and photos, giving us complete peace of mind. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog, and we couldn't be more grateful. We highly recommend May to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and dedicated dog sitter. Thank you so much, May!”
“Rocio took great care of our dog during an overnight stay. She has a big backyard and plenty of toys to keep the dogs entertained. Our dog instantly took a liking to her and was very reluctant to come back home ?”
“Janet and Bruce are just extraordinary. Their love of dogs is reflected clearly in the care and attention they gave my boy. I was nervous to leave my dog as he’d only been away from me once before, but I have no hesitation in saying I would ask them to watch Jack again in a heartbeat. They are calm and experienced, and sent photos and videos during his stay, as well as making sure he was happy as can be with lots of exercise, play, and cuddles. It was obvious how much Jack loved his time there when it was time to collect him, too. I highly recommend them if you want a couple who will care for your dog(s) as if they were their own. I couldn’t be happier and wish I could give them extra stars! Thank you both so much.”
“Lauren is great! Very easy to communicate with, and her family looked after Momo very well with lovely long walks and lots of cuddles. Will definitely book again. Thank you”
“I chose to take Chase to Stephen because his first question was if we can have an introductory meeting before we take him there. It was reassuring to me and the rest of my experience with him remained the same. Stephen and his family gave a loving home environment to our Chase. He was allowed to stay on the settee, got walks and got a friendly doggie company in their dog, Sam. Stephen kept me informed with messages and photos, he was transparent and told me that Chase was a little nervous initially, but then settled down so I didn’t have to worry, I knew he was in good, trustworthy hands. I will book with Stephen again when we’re going away.”
“We keep on rebooking with Stella as she and her partner take great care of our dog Astrid. She sends us updates and our dog doesn’t want to leave their place when we pick her up! Thanks both so so much 🙏”
“Jack took such wonderful care of my little Pinta 🐶🫶 I could tell from the very beginning that she was in the best hands. He sent regular updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while she was away from me. Pinta is a very spoiled little girl and definitely needs a lot of attention and affection, so I’m always a bit careful about who I leave her with. But with Jack I could see she was truly comfortable, happy and very well looked after. It meant a lot to know she was getting so much care and attention. I’m incredibly grateful and would recommend Jack to anyone who wants their dog to be looked after with genuine kindness and love. We will absolutely be coming back to him again. Thank you so much, Jack! ✨🐾”
“Shaun & his family were amazing! They couldn’t have been more accommodating and were really flexible through out. We received plenty of updates and she was made to feel right at home with them. They are an absolute credit to dog lovers and you can guarentee they will be spoilt the whole time. Thank you so much, we will certainly book again.”
“We are so grateful to Vicky & Amber for hosting our lovely Mini during our vacation! It’s been last minute request and all went so well at the end! Mini was taken a good care, with daily photos and videos shared with us. We were so pleased to see her enjoying her time and lots of play with Mowgli mastering tug of war 😆🐾”
“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.”
“We decided on a last minute trip out of the country. Anna worked with us every step of the way and made sure we were always in the know with our girl. She would send daily updates and photos. It was a peace of mind while we were away to know our dog was being loved and cared for by such a lovely family. Will use Anna again for boarding in the future.”
“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.”
“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!”
“We are so grateful to Claire and Ross for looking after Ava so well and like one of their own. She had a great holiday with them and Syd! We had a great holiday knowing she was being so well cared for, we enjoyed the regular updates, photos and videos of her enjoying her time with them - thank you both so much!”
“Otto had a great experience and we were so happy with our Rover host. Excellent care, communication from a host who really treated our dog like their own. Would really recommend.”
