“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:)”
“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.”
“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!!”
About: I have over 20 years of experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes and personalities. I’m patient, attentive and always follow each owner’s instructions carefully. I focus on making dogs feel safe, comfortable and well cared for in a calm home environment. I have a flexible daily schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of time, attention and companionship. I’m able to adjust to each pet’s routine, including feeding times, walks, playtime and quiet rest. I’m available on both weekdays and weekends, and I always make sure pets are never left alone for long periods. I provide a calm, clean and safe home environment for pets. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions and respect every pet’s individual needs and boundaries. I supervise pets closely, keep doors and windows secure, and make sure they feel comfortable, relaxed and well cared for during their stay.
“This is the third time we have used Simon. We left Rumble for a longer holiday this time. We received regular photo updates and Rumble was clearly very happy and relaxed. Both drop off and pick up were very well organised and professional. Rumble is now settled back home with no signs that he’s been away, Simon gave him a real home from home. Brilliant x”
“Issy had a wonderful time with Shaun and his family.he was excellent with our energetic Staffie and we were really confident leaving her with him. They supported our routines as well as including her in their family life. He sent regular updates and the meet and greet beforehand was really beneficial and made us feel really comfortable that she would be well cared for. A very experienced family who looked after our Issy really well.10/10 would recommend.”
“Annalise was fantastic to communicate with before during and at the end of our dogs stay. We were at ease knowing our dog was in great care! Will reserve a stay again with Annalise.”
About: Having either coveted or owned pets since childhood, and recently experienced my daughter hosting dogs in our family home before flying the nest on her next big adventure, I’ve decided to take over the family business. Yes, I know inheritance does not usually work this way but, hey, hosting your fur balls has been such a joy, and I have such a perfect space here, why not? Familiar with separation anxiety, medication administration, and all that comes with family pets. Very fond of long walks. Well aware from personal experience how daunting it can be to leave your pets in someone else’s care, and totally committed to ensuring their comfort and safety. Rest assured your pets will be well cared for - and lots of cute photos and updates will be sent. I’m self employed and work from home. My dog, Mo, and cat Gem, are well socialised and happy to accept well behaved comrades into their space. I have a big, secure fenced garden with lots of room to run around, and a comfortable living space where pets are welcome, including on the sofas. I’m respectful of other people’s needs and spaces, whether I’m visiting your home, or your pets are visiting mine, I’ll make sure their - and your - needs are met. Expect lots of photos - and possibly a short story, or poem from your pet.
“I left a domino for the first time he had been left outside of family this weekend and it was a really positive experience for both of us. Domino had a great time and was even a bit reluctant to leave his new friends. I would not hesitate to use Martin again or recommend him to others.he obviously adores dogs and has good knowledge in how to care for them.”
“Lucy loves Dogs & hit it off with Charlie. I did not have to worry about leaving him for the first time ever with Lucy. I got daily updates & pics of Charlie having fun and Lucy dealt with his medication for his ear infection which was great! Lucy is a lovely young Lady & I’ll be booking her again.”
“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.”
About: I have been around dogs my entire life quite literally, my first present as a newborn straight out of hospital was a gorgeous black ball of fur aka Tyson a German shepherd puppy and from that day on we were inseparable…. Needless to say now gsd’s are my favorite breed and will always be my favorite butttt and that’s a very big but all dogs of all shapes and sizes hold a special place in my heart. I get on with dogs better then I do humans forming special bonds and an instant attachment to any dog I lay eyes on. I can’t go anywhere without stopping whoever has a dog and asking them if I can make a fuss of them so I thought I would put this love or obsession whatever you like to call it to good use and help others and welcome your dogs into my home where they will be loved like my own and part of our pack… food bowls washed throughly after every use and water bowls washed every time it’s refilled. Long walks every day or even 2 times a day and no I’m not talking a hour at a time I’m talking 3-4 hours I believe dogs should be outside exploring not inside all day… mental stimulation is a must…in absolute no circumstances will my children be climbing pulling or disrespecting your dogs as they have been taught from a young age and are always supervised to make sure I maintain good behavior around dogs… I’m not saying I’m perfect I’m just saying I know what I’m doing and your dog/dogs will be made to feel at home, loved and as happy as my own 🥰🥰 I am currently a stay at home mum who is looking for an extra income to contribute more to my household and my family? So I have availability pretty much all day every day from 10 AM up until 2 o’clock I am free and from 4:30 till whenever you need I am free. I will have my children with me if you are happy with that I have a baby and a toddler that don’t go to school yet if it’s at the weekend, then I will be Child free. This does not affect my ability to do my job as I have pets myself and I look after them with my children. If your dogs are other dog friendly, I’m happy for your dogs to join us, if not that’s ok too I can take them separately. I have two dogs myself who are more than happy to keep your dogs company. I can crate your dog for safety, If it is needed I have a garden and children that would love to play with your dogs if your dogs are at my home or you are happy for my children to play with your dogs then my toddler is more than happy to if my other two are at school. I have plenty of fans in my house for this hot weather and they are on all the time. If your dog is at my home, there is freshwater everywhere in my home. I have no rules in my house for dogs, being toilet trained is preferred but if your dog is old incontinent or still a puppy, it is absolutely fine. I have hardwood floors and dogs have accidents happen. It’s easily cleaned up. Your dog will be more than at home here they’ll be allowed up on the sofas in our garden.
“Katy responds quickly to any enquiry. She arranged to meet Coco prior to the overnight stay and was very thorough in ensuring that she knew all about Coco. After this initial meet up Coco ran enthusiastically into Katy's house to stay overnight and greeted both Katy and her partner enthusiastically. When we picked her up it was clear that Coco had had a great time. We would certainly use Katy again.”
“Eva was absolutely amazing with Luna! From the moment we met her, it was clear how much she genuinely cares about animals. She kept us updated throughout the stay with photos and messages, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Luna can be a little particular about her routine, but Eva followed all of our instructions perfectly and treated her like she was part of her own family. When I picked Luna up, she was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. It was obvious that she received plenty of love, attention, playtime, and cuddles during her stay. Finding someone you trust with your dog is priceless, and Eva exceeded every expectation. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional dog sitter. Luna can’t wait for her next stay with Eva! Thank you again, Eva, for taking such wonderful care of my girl!”
“Karen and her husband stepped in for us over Christmas when our original plans changed due to a family matter. Our little dog Rosie settled straight in and was super well loved and looked after. Karen and her husband were super helpful at making the process of leaving our dog very easy and we were sent regular updates and photos. Rosie was super happy to be left and was allowed to treat their house as her own - which we are super grateful for. A very big and secure garden to play in. We will not hesitate to book with Karen again when needed. Thank you so so much x”
About: I’m Lee 🐾 I’ve always had a big heart for animals, and caring for them is more than a job—it’s my passion. Whether your furry friend loves long walks, playful adventures, or just a quiet cuddle, I make sure they feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. I have experience with both dogs and cats of all ages, from energetic puppies and kittens to senior pets who need extra care and patience. My approach is gentle, reliable, and tailored to each pet’s unique personality. I am currently working part-time, but soon looking to care for animals as my full time job. I am currently available most afternoons and early evenings with some weekend availability when I can. Anything considered, where I am available. I have a fenced garden, that even keeps in my very Senior cat of 19 years for her daily wander around. Along with my 2 friendly playful dogs.
“Lloyd was so communicative and Rory had a great time with him and Hudson! Lots of walks to open fields and she came home happy and tuckered out! So so happy with Rory’s care during her time with Lloyd.”
“Our boy Labradoodle, Aslan, felt immediately at home in Carolyn's house. Sometimes he takes a while to warm up to the sitters that we leave him with but that was not the case at all. She was very accommodating to our hectic pickup and drop off schedule. Though we always miss him when we're on holiday, we never felt too far away from our boy with the plethora of pictures and videos that were sent to us throughout the day.”

“Emma did a great job looking after our cat Oaty while we have been on holiday. She sent photos and videos which we loved especially our three children who were missing him. Emma communicated with us as much as needed for updates and we would definitely recommend her for looking after your pets. Thank you”
“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!”
“Marta has been excellent taking care of and playing with my cat. She gives great updates and lovely photos that give me comfort that my cat is happy while I’m away!”
“Our cat Nova is a house cat and really wary of strangers. Jack was so calm and patient with her. We came home to a happy cat. Jack will be my first point of call whenever we require someone to watch her while we are away. Thank you”
“Tessa’s been checking in on our cats for the last two years since we’ve moved to Bury. She always does a great job, even when our cat had to be on medication temporarily. Definitely recommend her!”
“Hannah was fantastic with our two cats. She was caring and thoughtful, sending daily updates which showed the cats playing, purring and very happy. My cats could not have been in better hands. ”
“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!”
“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.”
“Sarah is a reliable and caring cat sitter. She is very knowledgeable about cats and their behaviour, thanks to her experience as a veterinary nurse. We felt completely reassured knowing our cat was in such capable hands, which meant we could enjoy our holiday completely carefree. We would highly recommend Sarah to anyone looking for a trustworthy and experienced cat sitter.”
“We would 100% recommend Susan & we would definitely use her again! This was the first time we’ve ever used a house/pet sitter and we were really happy with how it all went. John was really happy and content & Susan gave us updates which we loved getting whilst being away! Our house was also left just as we’d left it and Susan looked after all our plants for us too which we were very grateful for!”
“Hannah was fantastic with Una, she kept in contact and made us feel very comfortable while we were away on holiday. She also watered our flowers which was fantastic. Would highly recommend her. ”
“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’m a 33 year old female living in a flat in Bury St Edmunds. I have a marketing job with 9-5:30 flexible hours and I’m currently working from home and free on the weekends. In my spare time I love to go out on long walks & adventures and enjoy them so much better with a dog. I don’t have a dog myself but I have house sat and boarded a range of gorgeous different types of dog on this app and we had great walks together to different parks. I’d love to help people in the area with walks or boarding / looking after their dog whenever needed :). I’d be so excited to look after anyone’s animal/s in general and to help anyone out :). I’m very independent and live by myself but I am very close to my parents in south Cambridge where we all love to go on walks together too. Please message me if you would like to know anything more or require any further information :). I work from home so I am able to offer daycare during these times and I also offer boarding and house sitting. My partner Laurie also likes to help out and is usually around when I board dogs at my place. He enjoys joining us for walks and playing with the dogs. For house sitting Laurie will also join me so your pets get all the extra attention and love. We are always happy to come by for a meet up/ introduction beforehand so you get to meet us both. I have a shared garden for regular smaller walk/ toilet breaks but during your dogs stay I will also venture out for longer walks. I’ll make sure your dog gets all the exercise, love & attention they need! Please note that I do live in a flat/apartment where there are always neighbours coming/going at different times in the area. I am aware that sometimes seeing/hearing strangers can make a dog anxious/ bark a lot. Please consider this before booking :) many thanks. Pet care fits into my routine easily, as I work from home and have a flexible schedule, allowing me to give dogs the attention, walks, and care they need throughout the day. I prioritize a safe, calm, and pet-friendly environment by following each pet’s routine, keeping spaces secure, and always treating them with patience and kindness. Whether in my home or the owner’s, I maintain trust by respecting their rules, providing updates, and ensuring the pets feel comfortable and cared for.
About: I have started looking after cats in the last 2/3 years. I am committed to making sure they live in a clean environment and will happily deep clean litter trays, food and water bowls. As well as giving them some well deserved attention and play if they are interested :)
About: Hello, I’m Lisa. I have a deep love for animals and have cared for cats for many years. I’m drawn to their innocence and sensitivity, and I truly believe cats can understand human emotions.

I’m experienced with feeding, litter tray care, and following owners’ instructions carefully to make sure every cat feels safe, comfortable and loved.

“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.”
“Matcha had a great day with Annalise - she was smiling in the photos Annalise took and she didn't want to go home when I went to collect her. It's her first day with Annalise and I'm so pleased it went well. Highly recommended!”

“Jane was absolutely brilliant! We met her and Juno in Hardwick Heath and our border collie Morris loved playing with them from the get go. Jane was amazing and very accommodating, and it was a relief to know Morris was going to be well looked after and have a dog pal to play throughout the day. Something that was particularly nice was that I mentioned we've been working on his lead walking, and Jane went over and beyond to continue working on the lead manners with Morris while he stayed with her! It was very thoughtful and extremely helpful too. We got lots of pictures of Morris and Juno playing during the day, as well as pictures of Morris just chilling in Jane's house. Cannot recommend Jane enough, we'll definitely be booking with her again”
“Natalie was more than I could’ve asked for. Her flexibility and quick responses made it so easy to ensure our pup was in the right hands! So also send tons of pictures and updates throughout the day that reassured our pup was having an amazing time! Highly recommend to anyone!”
“Pokie had a lovely pit stop with Lucy for a few hours while I was at an exam. She's a nervous girl but sounds like she settled well and she was happy and relaxed at pick up too. Thank you x”
“Alix & her husband were AMAZING. They took a last minute request and were able to watch both our dogs. She sent me pictures throughout the day, and took them on a couple walks. They were happy & exhausted when they got home - both good signs of a fantastic day! We will definitely use them again.”

“Thank you Jack, we came back to a very happy dog. We could see that Lottie had been well looked after while we were gone. It was very reassuring to receive regular pictures and updates of the walks she had been taken on and what meals and toilet breaks she’d had Very happy and would definitely ask Jack to help us out again.”
About: I have been taking care of dogs, both my own and in a daycare setting for the last 4 years. I have Five of my own and I have a distinction in animal care and basic canine first aid and I am working on a Bachelors Degree in Behaviour. I am currently starting a part time dog walking business with Treat Me Pet Services so I am looking to build my customer base. I am available between 9am - 3pm as I am working around my children. In my own home I have 5 dogs, Two of which are self trained Service dogs for health conditions. I make sure my dogs are regularly walked, flea and worm treated and groomed. When it comes to food I always weigh their food out so I know they are getting what they need and I use natural grain free treats to minimise allergic reactions. We have a decent sized garden aswell for them to play in.
About: I have worked in the veterinary profession since the early 90's and have experience of large and small animals. I have trained veterinary nurses, run puppy classes, taught basic dog training, qualified in common dog and cat behaviour problems, provided pet behaviour counselling and owned 3 dogs and multiple cats over the years. I would say that cats are my speciality as I worked at Cambridge Cat Clinic for 3 years and perfected my feline nursing skills. I am able to administer oral medications to all species and also injections if required, such as insulin. I am currently completing my training to become a counsellor (for humans) so I will be able to care for your pets around my studies and seeing my human clients. This allows me to be very flexible with regards to length of time needed to be with your pets. I will follow whatever routine has been established for your pets with regards to feeding, exercise, cuddles, grooming and any medication needed. I will have absolute respect for your wishes regarding where you want you pets to go i.e. indoors only, garden, park etc. I can provide regular updates about your pets while you are away to put your mind at rest.
“We love Lucy, she is kind, patient, considerate, and punctual. Every time the door bell rings our dog Calli gets SO excited! I’m so happy and relieved to have someone I trust to take care of my sweet girl, she really is a life saver.”
About: I have been dog, cat, and house sitting since childhood! I have volunteered at SPCA and have always found or adopted my pets. I grew up with a golden retriever and several cats. My schedule is very flexible right now, as I recently relocated to bury st Edmund's. Hoping to make the most of my time by helping out others and getting to spend time with their furry family. I have spent many years caring for pets of friends and family in their homes. I've always felt that it's easier to keep them in their home where they are familiar and comfortable and I am the one who is in their space. They are already missing their parents (owners) no need to add more stress.
“Alix walks our two dogs multiple times a week. She is incredibly patient and kind with them, especially as one is a young rescue and can be quite excitable. She has also been patient and kind with us and our crazy schedule, always willing to try to accomodate last minute changes. Highly recommend!”
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. In my free time I enjoy taking my Cocker Spaniel on long walks, spending time in the garden, and being outdoors. I work as a Cardiac Physiologist at West Suffolk Hospital. My working schedule is M-T 8:00-18:00 and Th-F 8:00-18:00. This means I’m free all day Wednesday/Weekends for your pets needs, as well as mornings and evenings on my working days. 🙂 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 as a Cardiac Physiologist at West Suffolk Hospital. My working schedule is M-T 8:00-18:00 and Th-F 8:00-18:00. This means I’m free all day Wednesday/Weekends for your pets needs, as well as mornings and evenings on my working days. 🙂 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 live and breathe pets, caring for my own dogs since I was a child, including rescues and puppies. Every pet has its own unique charms, and my extensive personal experience caring for both my own animals and others' gives me patience and understanding when getting to know them. Additionally, my part-time work is directly with pet care, giving me a wealth of professional expertise, supplemented by undertaking specialised dog first aid training. Fully DBS checked and insured. I work part time, spending the rest of my week caring for my dog and planning pet visits. Your pet's needs will always be a priority to me, and I am very comfortable being flexible around my work to meet them. Additionally, pet welfare always comes first with me, so will be available for early mornings or late nights during the summer. I will always encourage meeting your wonderful pets all together first to make sure we're a good match, with an emphasis on being bespoke and customised to your pets' needs. For dogs specifically, I can offer both 1 to 1 care or, should you prefer they spend some time socialising with others, bring along my very friendly dog Nessie. Walked dogs will always be returned washed and dried, so there'll be no nasty surprises when you get home!
About: I’m a 33 year old female living in a flat in Bury St Edmunds. I have a marketing job with 9-5:30 flexible hours and I’m currently working from home and free on the weekends. In my spare time I love to go out on long walks & adventures and enjoy them so much better with a dog. I don’t have a dog myself but I have house sat and boarded a range of gorgeous different types of dog on this app and we had great walks together to different parks. I’d love to help people in the area with walks or boarding / looking after their dog whenever needed :). I’d be so excited to look after anyone’s animal/s in general and to help anyone out :). I’m very independent and live by myself but I am very close to my parents in south Cambridge where we all love to go on walks together too. Please message me if you would like to know anything more or require any further information :). I work from home so I am able to offer daycare during these times and I also offer boarding and house sitting. My partner Laurie also likes to help out and is usually around when I board dogs at my place. He enjoys joining us for walks and playing with the dogs. For house sitting Laurie will also join me so your pets get all the extra attention and love. We are always happy to come by for a meet up/ introduction beforehand so you get to meet us both. I have a shared garden for regular smaller walk/ toilet breaks but during your dogs stay I will also venture out for longer walks. I’ll make sure your dog gets all the exercise, love & attention they need! Please note that I do live in a flat/apartment where there are always neighbours coming/going at different times in the area. I am aware that sometimes seeing/hearing strangers can make a dog anxious/ bark a lot. Please consider this before booking :) many thanks. Pet care fits into my routine easily, as I work from home and have a flexible schedule, allowing me to give dogs the attention, walks, and care they need throughout the day. I prioritize a safe, calm, and pet-friendly environment by following each pet’s routine, keeping spaces secure, and always treating them with patience and kindness. Whether in my home or the owner’s, I maintain trust by respecting their rules, providing updates, and ensuring the pets feel comfortable and cared for.
About: I currently walk dogs regularly and also work with a local busy kennels, so I have lots of hands on experience with a wide range of breeds, temperaments, and needs. Alongside this, I’m studying a diploma in Canine Welfare, Care and Behaviour, so I’m still building my knowledge and understanding. I’m fully insured, canine first aid trained, and committed to providing safe, calm, and attentive care for every dog in my care. I hold an advanced DBS check as I volunteer my time to Our Special Friends helping with the elderly and vulnerable to care for their dogs. I have some available slots throughout the week between the hours of 9.30 and 14.00, ideal for regular weekly bookings or one off requirements. I am flexible and will always do my best to accommodate a visit or walk for a dog. I only offer solo (or same household) walks so I can prioritise safety, calm handling, and communication at all times. I take the time to understand each dog’s individual needs and their routines, and any behavioural or medical considerations before walking. Dogs are always kept on lead, and I carefully choose safe, suitable and known walking routes. I’m canine first aid trained and fully insured, and I will always keep owners updated with messages and photos for your peace of mind. As I offer solo/household walks only, your dog(s) will always receive my full attention in a safe and controlled environment only.

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 looked after my cat and Yorkshire terrier in my home in Ukraine. I had to leave him with my family as I moved to the UK with my children. I miss him a lot and looking after other dogs would help me a lot. I am working part time in a local pub and looking after my two children, but I can be very flexible and adjust to your needs. I looked after pets for many years and I always take a great care of them, covering them in love and attention as if they are my own.

We have a 5 year old resident French bulldog who is extremely sociable and absolutely adores making new friends, we take lots of very enrichment filled walks along rivers, fields and woodlands. We hire enclosed fields with swimming facilities for warmer days. We have cooling mats and paddling pools in the garden along with lots of enrichment toys and activities, our evenings are usually spent snuggled together on the sofa after a fun filled day of exploring. I work from home on a very flexible schedule so your dogs will have someone with them 24/7. We have a resident French bulldog who adores all dogs.

We also visit the enclosed field regularly for a well earned strech of the legs and run for the more athletic dogs, I tailor the dogs care fully to their needs, we do a minimum of 2 walks a day ( weather dependent for certain breeds ) plus we have lots of enrichment activities at home for them to enjoy.

About: Hey! I am passionate about providing calm, reliable, and compassionate pet care. With hands-on kennel experience and years of caring for my own rescue dogs, I have a strong understanding of dogs with anxiety, reactivity, and additional care needs. I believe every dog deserves patience, love, and care that works for them as an individual. Offering dependable dog walking and drop-in visits designed to keep your pets comfortable, exercised, and happy in their own environment. I have a retired racer greyhound and a Romanian mongrel rescue and so I am very keen on looking after dogs ranging in needs and different approaches. I am happy to look after all breeds of dogs and listen to how best to take care of your dog⭐️ I work Monday-Wednesday as a Dental Nurse and am home Thursday-Sunday to offer walks and drop ins for your doggies. I can work around you and your schedule on these days to make sure your dogs are looked after and happy. I provide calm, reliable, and personalised care tailored to each pet’s individual needs and routine.

I approach every pet with patience, understanding, and positive handling to help them feel secure and relaxed. If caring for pets in my own home, I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment where pets are treated like family, with plenty of attention, exercise, rest, and one-to-one care. Obviously if they were in my home they would need to be happy to be around my two babies but as long as they’re okay mine are very friendly!
About: Dogs have always been at the heart of my life and caring for them has never simply been something I do - it is who I am. For me, this is not just a service, it is a privilege. I understand that every dog is a cherished member of the family and I treat each one with the same love, patience, kindness and unwavering devotion that I gave to my own. For 13 wonderful years, I was blessed to share my life with my beautiful Cavapoo, Colby. He was my constant companion, my best friend and I will always feel incredibly honoured that he chose me every day. The bond we shared shaped the way I care for animals and reinforced my belief that every dog deserves to feel safe, understood, loved and completely at ease. Following Colby's passing, I found myself deeply missing the daily joy of giving that love and care to a dog. It is this, more than anything, that inspired me to begin this new chapter. My aim is not simply to offer dog boarding, walking and house sitting, but to provide a home-from-home experience where every dog receives genuine affection, individual attention and the highest standard of care, as though they were my own. My experience extends well beyond everyday care. During Colby's later years, he bravely lived with heart failure, requiring an extensive and carefully managed medication regime. I administered multiple medications with precision, consistency and dedication while closely monitoring his health, comfort and changing needs. This experience has given me invaluable confidence in caring for senior dogs, administering medication and supporting dogs with ongoing medical conditions, always with patience, compassion and meticulous attention to detail. When you dog is in my care, they will be treated as my own family - with warmth, gentleness and genuine affection. My promise is to provide not only a safe and reliable service, but a nurturing environment where you dog feels secure, loved and truly at home 🐶❤️ I provide full-time, dedicated care tailored entirely to your dog's individual needs and routine. Whether they enjoy long walks and playtime, gentle companionship, plenty of cuddles and love, or simply a quiet place to relax, my focus is always on ensuring they feel safe, happy and loved. I offer house sitting in your home, boarding, drop in and dog walking throughout the week, including weekends and I am committed to maintaining your dog's usual routine as closely as possible to provide comfort, consistency and complete peace of mind while you are away. Safety, trust and a calm, secure environment are at the very heart of my care. I have no other pets or children in the home, ensuring a peaceful and undisturbed setting for your dog. My property benefits from a walled, secure garden and I am fortunate to be situated in a beautiful village with a country park and woodland walks right on my doorstep, offering safe, enriching and varied outdoor experiences in nature.
About: I really love looking after dogs, I’ve grown up with dogs in the household from as long as I can remember - a retired greyhound and a rescue whippet lurcher cross. I also have my own dog care business so have a lot of experience with different breeds, reactive dogs, rescues and other behavioural challenges. I’d would love to rescue a dog of my own in the future when the time is right😁 I am currently studying mental health nursing at university and do online work about 2-3 out of 5 days a week so would have lots of time to spend with your furry friend and give them the attention they deserve! I enjoy spending time outdoors so would love going for long walks too. I’d love to have a chat with you to see how I can help make yours and your dogs life easier! I am very keen to keep the dogs routine similar to how it would be at home, from breakfast times to walk times! Unfortunately I am not able to have pets at my home as I am not licensed by the local council but I am more than happy to pet/ house sit (in the pets home)
“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.”

“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!!”

“This is the third time we have used Simon. We left Rumble for a longer holiday this time. We received regular photo updates and Rumble was clearly very happy and relaxed. Both drop off and pick up were very well organised and professional. Rumble is now settled back home with no signs that he’s been away, Simon gave him a real home from home. Brilliant x”
“Issy had a wonderful time with Shaun and his family.he was excellent with our energetic Staffie and we were really confident leaving her with him. They supported our routines as well as including her in their family life. He sent regular updates and the meet and greet beforehand was really beneficial and made us feel really comfortable that she would be well cared for. A very experienced family who looked after our Issy really well.10/10 would recommend.”
About: Having either coveted or owned pets since childhood, and recently experienced my daughter hosting dogs in our family home before flying the nest on her next big adventure, I’ve decided to take over the family business. Yes, I know inheritance does not usually work this way but, hey, hosting your fur balls has been such a joy, and I have such a perfect space here, why not? Familiar with separation anxiety, medication administration, and all that comes with family pets. Very fond of long walks. Well aware from personal experience how daunting it can be to leave your pets in someone else’s care, and totally committed to ensuring their comfort and safety. Rest assured your pets will be well cared for - and lots of cute photos and updates will be sent. I’m self employed and work from home. My dog, Mo, and cat Gem, are well socialised and happy to accept well behaved comrades into their space. I have a big, secure fenced garden with lots of room to run around, and a comfortable living space where pets are welcome, including on the sofas. I’m respectful of other people’s needs and spaces, whether I’m visiting your home, or your pets are visiting mine, I’ll make sure their - and your - needs are met. Expect lots of photos - and possibly a short story, or poem from your pet.
“I left a domino for the first time he had been left outside of family this weekend and it was a really positive experience for both of us. Domino had a great time and was even a bit reluctant to leave his new friends. I would not hesitate to use Martin again or recommend him to others.he obviously adores dogs and has good knowledge in how to care for them.”
“Lucy loves Dogs & hit it off with Charlie. I did not have to worry about leaving him for the first time ever with Lucy. I got daily updates & pics of Charlie having fun and Lucy dealt with his medication for his ear infection which was great! Lucy is a lovely young Lady & I’ll be booking her again.”
About: I have been around dogs my entire life quite literally, my first present as a newborn straight out of hospital was a gorgeous black ball of fur aka Tyson a German shepherd puppy and from that day on we were inseparable…. Needless to say now gsd’s are my favorite breed and will always be my favorite butttt and that’s a very big but all dogs of all shapes and sizes hold a special place in my heart. I get on with dogs better then I do humans forming special bonds and an instant attachment to any dog I lay eyes on. I can’t go anywhere without stopping whoever has a dog and asking them if I can make a fuss of them so I thought I would put this love or obsession whatever you like to call it to good use and help others and welcome your dogs into my home where they will be loved like my own and part of our pack… food bowls washed throughly after every use and water bowls washed every time it’s refilled. Long walks every day or even 2 times a day and no I’m not talking a hour at a time I’m talking 3-4 hours I believe dogs should be outside exploring not inside all day… mental stimulation is a must…in absolute no circumstances will my children be climbing pulling or disrespecting your dogs as they have been taught from a young age and are always supervised to make sure I maintain good behavior around dogs… I’m not saying I’m perfect I’m just saying I know what I’m doing and your dog/dogs will be made to feel at home, loved and as happy as my own 🥰🥰 I am currently a stay at home mum who is looking for an extra income to contribute more to my household and my family? So I have availability pretty much all day every day from 10 AM up until 2 o’clock I am free and from 4:30 till whenever you need I am free. I will have my children with me if you are happy with that I have a baby and a toddler that don’t go to school yet if it’s at the weekend, then I will be Child free. This does not affect my ability to do my job as I have pets myself and I look after them with my children. If your dogs are other dog friendly, I’m happy for your dogs to join us, if not that’s ok too I can take them separately. I have two dogs myself who are more than happy to keep your dogs company. I can crate your dog for safety, If it is needed I have a garden and children that would love to play with your dogs if your dogs are at my home or you are happy for my children to play with your dogs then my toddler is more than happy to if my other two are at school. I have plenty of fans in my house for this hot weather and they are on all the time. If your dog is at my home, there is freshwater everywhere in my home. I have no rules in my house for dogs, being toilet trained is preferred but if your dog is old incontinent or still a puppy, it is absolutely fine. I have hardwood floors and dogs have accidents happen. It’s easily cleaned up. Your dog will be more than at home here they’ll be allowed up on the sofas in our garden.
“Lloyd was so communicative and Rory had a great time with him and Hudson! Lots of walks to open fields and she came home happy and tuckered out! So so happy with Rory’s care during her time with Lloyd.”
“Fantastic service! Natalie treated my dog as if it were her own, will definitely be using again. Responses were very prompt and I was kept updated throughout the stay. Thank you very much!”
“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!”
About: We have a large fenced garden and a cosy home and your dogs will be treated as part of our family during their stay. I understand the importance of routine, especially when dogs are in a new environment, and will ensure they are cared for exactly as you request with plenty of photo updates throughout the stay. I totally understand the desire for your dogs to feel loved and cared for when you are away - rest assured they will be doted on! We have 2 friendly female resident dogs who love having doggy mates, Bonnie (7 yr old cockapoo) and Inka (3 yr old Frenchie), so your dog will have some canine company. I'm currently on maternity leave and have plenty of time to be with your pup and give them lots of attention, cuddles and exercise. My husband works from home 100% of the time, so there will always be company for your dog. I have a secure, large fenced garden with plenty of grass and space for playing. It is clean and hazard free, and easily accessible from the kitchen.
“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.”
“Kezia was really accommodating and communicative from the intial enquiry right through to pickup. Lots of updates and photos throughout Sadie's stay and she clearly had a lovely time. We will definitely look to use Kezia again and highly recommend her.”
“Annie welcomed Cora from 1st minute until collected the next day. Lots of updates and lovely photos throughout the day made me feel calm that she was in safe hands and meticulously cared for. Everything went seamlessly, and would not hesitate to book again. Thank you Annie”
“Desmond absolutely loved staying at Rosy and Rich’s! He had lots of space to run at their amazing garden and R&R took care of him as their own. They shared frequent updates with us, which was great as we (the parents) were the ones with separation anxiety! There was never a moment during our time away that we felt worried! I’m really glad we’ve found Rosy and Rich and we’ll definitely use them in the future, it was the perfect place and people to care for our pup. Thank you so much!”
“Isabella look after our Archie as we expected and we had photos updated everyday with few more I formation about him. We were happy that we found the right person for our dog. We recommend Isabella in 100% as person to look your dog as well.”
“Excellent. Seth loved his 10 days with Pedro. Pedro is very knowledgeable about dogs and clearly interested in learning more about them everyday. You can tell he loves dogs. Pedro took Seth on daily walks on and off lead (with our permission) and kept up great contact, sending videos and voicenotes daily with updates. Pedro didn't mind brushing Seth's teeth daily at our request and even sent us tips on oral care. He brushed Seth's coat out without is prompting it. Seth misses Pedro already and will definitely stay again.”
