“Winnie had another fantastic stay with Catherine and her family. We were kept updated with how Winnie was during her stay and knew she was receiving the best care while we were away.”
“Linda is just amazing. She kept us updated with lots of messages, photos & videos & it looked like she had a wonderful time. Linda is such a lovely lady, really gentle & loving and instantly gelled with Sneaky. It was amazing to go away knowing she was in such safe hands. Thank you so much Linda!”

“My dog is very needy , but Angelicka with help from her husband Gary made my dog feel at home. They even got him sleeping in a crate which we have never been able to do. I highly recommend Angelicka if you need your dog looking after. Lots of updates videos and photos put my mind at rest whilst I was on holiday. Thank you to you both we shall be back. Windsor said thank you.”
“Unfortunately, just before our holiday, our dog had to have an operation. This meant that extra care was needed as Alfie had to wear a buster collar and go back to our vet to have his stitches out. Helen took all of this in her stride. She sent us an update every day and I was completely happy that he was in her safe hands. I would thoroughly recommend Helen to look after any dog. I will use her again without hesitation. Debbie & Alfie”
“Nessa had a lovely time with Fiona and was very well looked after. Fiona carefully manages introductions to other dogs and copes fine with all Nessa's quirks. Very happy and will certainly book again!”
“Alex was outstanding in her care and attention to our Bailey. He clearly had a wonderful time and came home a contented boy! She kept in contact during his stay with pictures and we felt happy knowing he was safe and being looked after. We have no hesitation in recommending Alex and her 5 ⭐️ care.”
“This was my first time going on holiday since I got my boy and I was a bit nervous about it. I've left him with Shelley and Dave a couple of times before and the experience was very good so it made sense to use them again. Honestly I don't think I'd trust anyone else now. I received updates and pictures and I loved to see my puppy playing with their children. He was very well looked after. And when I picked him up he was waggy and happy :)”
“Humphrey was well looked after by Nathalie and her family and was well chilled out. He loves Tilly and they have great fun. Be very happy for Humphrey to stay again . Thanks Nathalie!”
“Jennifer took great care of our Kobe, she sent lots of pictures during her stay and Kobe came back very happy. We will definitely book again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Jennifer.”
“Rose and her husband were great to deal with. Our dog seemed to be very happy there for 9 days. We got plenty of photo updates of the dog out on walks and pictures of the dog at the foot of their bed. Garden was secure and it seemed the dog had free reign of the house. Would highly recommend and will likely use Rose again.”
“Amanda was very welcoming and Ruby was happy meeting the other dogs. Amanda kept in touch over the next four days, sending photos of Ruby out on walks. When we picked her up Amanda had everything ready and reassured us that Ruby had met and enjoyed meeting other dogs.”
“Sarah is always smiling and loves receiving our dogs. She has a great love for the dogs. We get regular photos and videos of the dogs while we are away reassuring us that they are ok. One of our dogs in on medication and Sarah ensures she gets it all on time. We have used Sarahs dog services for 3 times now and will be back. Thanks Sarah great job.”
“Bodhi had a lovely time with Claire, He was very well looked after and was very happy with his time there. The children were fab with him also will not hesitate to book again! ☺️”
About: Some of my earliest and kindest memories are of growing up with two amazing black labs. Not a year has gone by since without dogs playing a big part in my life. From having then as pets through to dogsitting as I grew up, I adore spending time with our furry four-legged friends. I have a friendly and sociable labradoodle called Ellie who will put any visiting friend at ease; be it playing in the garden or snoozing together on the sofa while I read. I'm currently working flexibly from home so am able to spend most of my day with your dog. I have several parks nearby where I can take them for walks however often they need, plus a back garden they can relax in. We have a very pet-friendly home (it was necessary for our own dog, Ellie!). The back garden is fenced with both sun and shade. I'll always tailor the environment to suit your dog, ensuring they are comfortable and happy while staying - be it a quiet space to sleep, or if they prefer sleeping in the bedroom with me.

She looked after Winnie so well, making sure she was happy, fed, and getting plenty of attention. Kept us updated while we were away. On top of being great with Winnie, Bethany left the flat tidy and clean, which we deeply appreciated coming home to. She is reliable, respectful, and a true professional. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a cat sitter!”
About: Hi, I’m Erica – a proud cat servant and lifelong cat lover 🐱 Originally from Hong Kong, I’ve been caring for cats for over 6 years and understand that every cat has their own personality (and their own rules!). I’m patient, gentle, and very happy to spend time playing with them, keeping them company, and making sure they feel safe and loved while you’re away. I currently have a very adorable and energetic ginger cat who runs the household, so I’m very used to living under feline management. I work for local government and mostly from home, which means I have flexible time to visit and give your cat proper attention – not just a quick food refill. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely loves cats and will treat yours like family, I’d love to help.
“Tilly has been amazing, we had a few last minute changes due to our flight being cancelled and she was very helpful and understanding of this. Her communication was very thorough and would definitely recommend to anyone needing their pets looking after!”
About: My name is Lucia and together with my fiancée Lara, we offer dog walking, pet sitting and house sitting services. Since I was a child, I have always been around animals and my family owned anything from gerbils, rats, hamsters, to cats, dogs and even a horse. I have studied veterinary nursing for 4 years and worked at vet clinic, pet shop, doggy day care, and volunteered at animal shelter. I have experience with different breeds and sizes of dogs, all kinds of temperaments, and rescue dogs and cats, as over the years I have fostered many puppies, dogs and kittens. I really enjoy working with animals, as it’s something I have always wanted to do. If you entrust me to take care of your beloved pet, I will make sure they are having great time and treat them as my own. Currently this is my main job, and I am very flexible with my time, so I will have plenty of time to spend with your furry friends. I live in a flat next to a park, and woods close by, so there is plenty of dog walking routes near by. I have very friendly dog that can keep your dog company while in my care.

“Fiona was welcoming, organised and clearly knows and loves the dogs she looks after alongside her own dog. Warm and friendly she encouraged a meet and greet before Jaspers first day with her and took the time to get to know him. He had a great first day today with her today and will definitely be coming again. So glad we have found you. Thank you Fiona.🙏🏻”
“Snoopy was so happy with Sarah and her lovely dogs and had a great time! We had been worried he might be a bit unsettled being with someone new for the first time but we were completely reassured by Sarah’s updates throughout the day and he came home a very happy chappie who slept very well that night. Would definitely recommend Sarah to all”
“Leigh came to meet my dog before my dog’s stay - much appreciated. The weather was extremely hot so she kept her cool and safe. Leigh kept in touch during the day and was considerate and flexible with pick up time.”
“It’s always a pleasure to have Abigail and her partner look after our dog, Kiki. She always comes home happy, clearly well cared for, and full of energy from plenty of walks and attention. Abigail keeps us updated with photos and is always happy to accommodate Kiki’s needs. We couldn’t ask for a better sitter and always return to Abigail and her partner ☺️”
“Tigger really enjoyed his time with Jennifer. Jennifer was so quick to respond to messages and kept me updated with pictures of his day! Thank you for looking after Tigger so well and he is looking forward to seeing you again next week!”
About: Had pet dogs all my life. I've been working with hearing dogs for deaf people for 12 years as a volunteer, training dogs through from puppy to fully registered assistant dog. I work part time from home with a flexible routine. I can adjust my day around your needs if required, but mornings are my preference. Routine is important, so I aim to fit in with your pets normal routine. Dogs love a chat and a bit of company which I am happy to do.
“Lydia has cared for our 1 year old crazy Cockapoo a couple of times now - and she has come home sleepy from all of the walks, playtime and cuddles! I know I don’t have to worry when she is there 😊”
“Heidi was very friendly and our dog Aika had a great time with her. Communication was good and she updated with photos throughout the day. I would recommend Heidi to anyone who wants to leave their doggies ;-)”
“Benji had a great time with Sarah. From arrival he felt comfortable to stay and came back happy and tired. I very much appreciated the updates and pictures I received throughout the day which gave me comfort that he is safe and well. I hope to make Benji’s stay with Sarah regular.”
“We took Barney, who is blind, to visit Laura in her own home. Barney was really happy to meet her and Troy again and he enjoyed exploring the garden and coped well with the new surroundings. Laura is extremely kind and patient and we feel she would go out of her way to ensure Barney is safe and happy when he is staying with her.”
“Porridge seemed like he had a great day with Polly and Maisie. We had a little meet and greet before to make sure they’d be ok together - pick up and drop off were super easy. Thanks Polly!”
About: I’ve looked after my neighbours dog when I was younger for money. My partner had always had dogs. His is now 5 and had him since he was a pup so went through the training. We look after him when his parents are away as well as our other family members and friends dogs too! My partner and I both work full time on weekdays however one of us is always home or only gone for a couple hours at most. We would love a dog ourselves but we are not ready for that currently so looking after dogs temporarily is a perfect solution for us dog lovers! We have a secure fenced garden. We don’t have any other pets so your dog/s will be our sole focus on making sure they are happy and healthy
“Pepper had a lovely time with Rosemary & Shaun! She relaxed straight away and went for a nice long walk in the woods. She had lots of treats and came back very happy! Will definitely be booking with them again - thank you!”
“A fantastic dog sitter who was so accommodating and kind. This is our second time booking and we will definitely be booking again. We were updated throughout the day with photos and a couple of videos and it was so lovely to see. She is very responsive to messages and has taken superb care of our boy. Thank you again! He had the best day 🐶 🐾 ❤️”

“This is the first time I have used Jodie for a dog walk, after an initial greet and meet of my 12 month old cockapoo. I can tell my dog loves Jodie and feels comfortable with her, as she has such a natural calm kind way of interacting with him. I really appreciate the photos and video which was also sent. Great service and will definitely be using Jodie again!”
“Lydia was great, we felt very at ease leaving our German Shepherd in her care while we were away. She did everything we asked of her and more and was always professional, friendly and polite. Took fantastic care of our dog who was very happy with her. Would not hesitate to recommend Lydia! Will definitely rebook. Thank you”

About: I have 6 years of practical experience working with all sorts of dogs and cats from gray hounds boxers Labrador to short haired, tabby and ragsolls cats I have also volunteered at a dog daycare for two years caring for many kinds of dogs with many different temperaments and personalities I am currently am currently working part time but I am free on all week days and I am flexible and I am hoping to work with animals full time For dog walking I use a GoPro to record my walks for security purposes for example if I was walking a dog and someone falsely accused the dog of attack another dog I can easily prove they did not I am also dog first aid trained and always carry a first aid kit For house sitting I make sure the animals environment is safe for example if there is and broken items or any food left that could be toxic and if there is a garden I will make sure there is nothing that has been blown in from outside
About: I have had dogs all my life, I have fed them, walked them, played with them and looked after them while my parents have been away, I would take good care of any type of dogs and I’m understanding of different types of behaviours I am currently working full time but work from home 3 days a week so I am mostly flexible. I am free every evening during the week and most weekends and would love to help out where I can. I have a fenced nice sized garden and a friendly golden retriever that can play all day long! I love spoiling her with treats and toys for her to play and eat!
About: I have been dog walking and dog sitting for over 13 years now. I have been walking and looking after my own dogs since I was 8. My dad taught me how to care for dogs and how to walk them. The first dog I professional dog sat was a teacup pug named Tinkerbell, who was adorable! My own dogs are called Dexter and Teddy. Dexter is a Beagle and Teddy is a Puggle. I love spending time with my dogs, however because i’m at university, I haven’t been able to see them as often. This is why I am dog walking and dog sitting, because I love spending time with animals. I am free all days, as long as I don’t have a university class. I have classes for an hour or two on mondays, tuesdays and thursdays. But leave me a text and I can check my schedule! I care for other’s pets and my own by making sure they always have enough water and feeding them twice a day; morning and night. I also give my own dogs a lot of attention so they don’t get lonely.
“Our meeting with Laura was great. We wanted to introduce her to our blind westie so that she could understand what his needs are. She is very kind, patient and knowledgeable about dog behaviour. We look forward to meeting up again soon.”
About: I've always had cats and dogs from a young age. Our family have rescued a greyhound and husky over the years and know firsthand the amount of unconditional love that these animals can give you. I have experience with big dogs and little dogs and appreciate that all dogs have different temperaments. I want to get to know your dog as if it was my own and give it the love that it deserves! I can walk your pooch in the mornings and evenings and weekends. I've dogsat for people in the past and am able to do this but the current rescue we have is not good with other dogs so it would have to be at your house. I work from home with a flexible schedule so I'm always on hand to provide walks and pets! I'll schedule work around any additional needs your pet may have too. I also know the art of emailing with one hand and petting with the other! I know the importance of routine and respecting the boundaries of each pet as an individual. I'll get to know your pet in their own environment and make sure they feel safe and secure with their comforta.
About: I love all dogs and have looked after a few different breeds over the years. Due to my passion in travel I haven't had the chance to have a dog of my own. I have taken care of family dogs (2x German Shepards and a Cockerspaniel) whilst house sitting for 3 weeks at a time since I was 15. In the past I have fostered 4 dogs for LUNA (animal rescue based in Letchworth), they stay with us until they find their forever home. My parents live with me so there is always someone to give dogs lots of cuddles, playtime and attention. I will send picture updates during dog stays so don't be surprised if you see a parent in the background :) I'm currently working from home with flexible hours although I'm in a London office once a week. I'm available almost any time with notice, any day of the week. I'm also available to do home visits if needed but will need more than a day's notice. I am Canine First Aid Level 2 Certified for peace of mind to ownes. Even if your dog has good recall I keep all dogs on a lead on walks. Please ensure your vet info is updated on your profile in case of any emergencies.
About: Growing up surrounded by dogs and cats, caring for animals has always come naturally to me. Over the past 6 years I've become the go-to sitter for my sister's dogs — regularly looking after them for weeks at a time while she's on holiday. And it's not just family — back in London during grad school, I also looked after my neighbours' dogs, so I'm well used to understanding different dogs' personalities, routines, and quirks from the get-go. Friends and family have always trusted me to give their pets that extra bit of love and attention when they're away, and that's something I genuinely take pride in. I work from home full-time with a very flexible schedule, which means I'm around most of the day and able to give dogs the company, attention, and routine they need. Weekdays, evenings, weekends — I'm available and happy to accommodate whatever works best for you and your pup. I'll always tailor my care to your dog's needs — whether that's gentle walks and a calm environment, specific feeding schedules, or longer play sessions for a more energetic dog. My priority is always making sure every pet in my care feels safe, loved, and right at home. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine — I work from home full-time and never need to go into an office, which means I'm available around the clock, seven days a week. Weekdays, weekends, no problem at all. Dogs in my care will never be left alone for long stretches — I'm always home and happy to give them my full attention. My home is a calm, loving environment where pets are treated like family. I have a small backyard where dogs can go potty and get some fresh air, and I'm lucky to live close to some beautiful parks that are perfect for walks and a good run around. I always respect the owner's instructions to the letter — whether that's diet, exercise levels, medication, or any other specific routine — so dogs feel as safe and settled as they do at home.
About: I provide loving, reliable home from home care backed by real handson experience with dogs of different temperaments and needs. Having two black Labradors of my own, including a blind reactive rescue I adopted three years ago, I’m especially confident with nervous, rescue, reactive, and special-needs dogs, offering calm, patient, and understanding care that helps them feel safe and settled. I currently work from home, which allows me a high level of flexibility throughout the day to provide regular walks, attention, and consistent companionship. At weekends, I have complete flexibility, meaning I can fully adapt to your dog’s schedule and ensure they receive attentive, personalised care. I care for pets in their own home by maintaining their normal routine and creating a calm, reassuring environment while their owner is away. This includes playtime, enrichment, and teaching new tricks to keep them engaged, as well as regular toilet breaks and walks around the neighbourhood if requested. I also ensure they are fed according to their usual schedule and that their water bowl is always kept clean and topped up. I make sure they receive plenty of companionship, affection, and cosy cuddle time so they feel safe, happy, and well cared for in familiar surroundings.

“Will & Caitlin were absolutely brilliant, from start to finish! We booked Benny in for our wedding weekend after a booking with someone else was cancelled.

“Abigail really took care of our puppy well and was extremely helpful throughout.

“Jess took exceptional care of Charlie, ensuring he was well-fed, exercised, and loved. Daily updates and photos gave me peace of mind while I was away. My dog was happy and relaxed when I returned, a testament to the attentive and caring service provided. Highly recommended!”
