“A big thank you to Catherine and her family for looking after Benji so well! It was his first time staying away from us and he's clearly had a wonderful time, enjoying lots of fuss and cuddles. The environment was perfect for him, a loving family home. We would thoroughly recommend Catherine as a sitter - nothing phased her and we were kept regularly updated with photos throughout his stay. He's looking forward to coming again!”
“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!”
“Fiona is an experience and knowledgable dog handler. We were very pleased with Monty's stay and would not hesitate booking another stay.......if Fiona would have him !! We were sent lots of photos of Monty during his stay and we were given lots of useful feedback and tips on our return.”
About: I've owned dogs all my adult life. I recently lost my beloved Cavachon Winnie and feel this is the right time to become a sitter. I miss the company of having a dog and feel this is the ideal solution I'm retired so your pet will fit into my routine easily. I have a huge park literally across the road where I take your dog for a good run or leisurely walk My house is dog friendly in every aspect. The garden is fully enclosed. If you dog sleeps on the bed they sleep with me. If your dog is allowed on the sofa he's allowed on mine. Home from home is my home
“I couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter! From the very beginning, they were professional, reliable, and genuinely caring. It was clear they truly love animals, and my cat warmed up to them much faster than expected, which says a lot. They kept me updated with regular messages and photos, which gave me real peace of mind while I was away. I came home to a happy, relaxed cat and everything exactly as I left it. It’s such a relief knowing my pet was in such safe and attentive hands. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate cat sitter, and I’ll definitely be booking with them again in the future!”
“Lachie was well looked after. Donna was incredibly kind and accommodating. Lachie settled well and Donna kept me updated with plenty of photos. The dog looked very content and got lots of attention. Would definitely use Donna again and would highly recommend”
“Sarah was great. Stanley, our cocker spaniel, had a wonderful time and we loved seeing the photos and videos that Sarah sent on almost a daily basis. He’s was exhausted when we got him home 😊”
“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.”
“Jasraj was very warm and friendly and very professional. He sent photos everyday and it was clear he walked the dogs everyday. He always got back to us right away when we messaged him. 100% would hire him again and recommend fully to anyone else.”
“Left my baby with Arron for a few days. She was well looked after well cared for and loved. We met before hand for a meet and greet and that went well. I will be booking again instead of using any kennels. Thankyou again Arron”
“Veronika took care of my 2 year old Frug for a week as a very last minute request. The care and attention given to him during his stay was outstanding, Veronika is so kind, attentive and tuned in to all of the needs of the animals in her care. It is very clear to see she has a deep love and appreciation for dogs, and hours of planning goes into their stay. He was given long walks, tried new foods, lots of cuddles and understanding and space plus fun. I received lovely pictures and videos throughout his stay, and she has continued to check on his wellbeing since. I cannot recommend Veronika highly enough. Not only is she an incredible dog boarder, she is a genuinely kind person too.”
“We have used Nathalie three times now and our dog Milo just loves going there! He adores Nathalie's dog Tilly, who has a lovely temperament, and we just know that he is good hands because both Nathalie and her husband are such dog lovers. Milo has also stayed over twice there now and he was very settled both times. I will certainly use Nathalie again and would definitely recommend her.”
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’ve cared for dogs and cats since I was a child and have always been comfortable around animals of different sizes, breeds, and personalities. Friends and family have regularly trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and look after their pets while they were away. I understand how important patience, attention, and routine are to keeping pets happy and comfortable. I’m currently working from home, so I have plenty of time to look after your cats and dogs. I’m available for boarding during both weekdays and weekends. We have a fenced front garden where pets can safely play and enjoy some outdoor time. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, medication, and routines, to help pets feel comfortable and at home. Since I work from home, I’m able to supervise them throughout the day and keep them company.
“Kellie and Andy were great and our black lab Alfie absolutely loved his time with them. They were very quick to reply and also asked questions to understand what Alfie needs in order to take best care of him. We got daily updates which were lovely - Alfie seemed so happy. It went so well that we’ve rebooked for our little boy to stay with them again. Would definitely recommend them, they are lovely 🐾 ♥️”
“Sarah and Leigh looked after our dog Chip for 1 night whilst we went away. They were absolutely brilliant! Sarah listened to all our requests and really took the time to understand Chips personality and little ways. I felt 100% reassured that he was in great hands. They sent messages and pictures to update us on what he'd been up to which was lovely. I'd have no hesitation in recommending this lovely couple to look after your fur baby. And Chip cannot wait to go back! Thank you Sarah and Leigh for taking such good care of our precious boy! ❤️”
“10/10! Pablo was so well looked after, we felt so comfortable with him staying with Angelika from the moment we dropped him off. We received regular updates and photos. Will 100% be reaching out to book him in for holidays again! Thank you 😊”
About: I have a dog 3 year old female mini pincher. Love taking care of her and playing with her. I trained her as a puppy as well. I am working 3 days from the office a week. There are couple of green areas around as well that would be great for playing. My dog is with my parents in another country but I would love to take care of other dogs occasionally here. Your dog will be in good hands.
“I could not have left my puppy in safer hands. Heidi and her husband took such love and care with our puppy he had no issues being away from home for the first time. Heidi even managed to give him some play dates as well as some wonderful walks. She communicates promptly and put my mind at rest by sending us regular photos of his day. I would not hesitate to have Heidi care for our little one again. She really does know what she is doing and she gives your dog her undivided attention. Beau had a fantastic time with you Heidi. We can’t really thank you enough, no words can express our sincere gratitude. Thank you so very much! Sonia xx”

“It was lovely to meet Shelly and her family and they did a fantastic job of looking after our cats! The visit report cards were excellent, and we are very pleased that our cats were so clearly happy and well cared for during their visits. Thank you very much for cat sitting for us 🩷”
“It was the first time I’ve used a cat sitter and I can say that Suzanna is the best! She always kept me updated and sent me pictures of my baby. I am very satisfied with her service. Definitely, I will ask her to look after my cat next time. Thank you ❤️”
“Julia has been nothing short of amazing. She has made us feel so comfortable leaving our girl in her care. Julia provided frequent updates and photos packed with information! Our lovely shy girl took to Julia so quickly, clearly showing how genuinely kind natured Julia is. We cannot thank you enough for everything you have done, and I am sure Leela will be so excited to see you again soon x”
“Jodie was a fantastic sitter! She left our house spotless and we came back to a very happy cat. We really appreciated her updates and felt at ease whilst we were away knowing Humphrey was in her care.”
About: I’ve lived with cats my entire life, so I know that every one of them has a completely different personality. Currently, I have a British Shorthair, so I’m very used to the "independent but affectionate" type. Whether your cat is a social butterfly or prefers to hide under the bed until I leave, I’m happy to work around their mood. I’m experienced with everything from kitten energy to senior care, and I’m meticulous about keeping litter boxes clean and water bowls fresh.
“Sophie was incredible taking our cat Zara in with such last-minute notice. She shared updates with us and Zara seemed to really love her and not want to leave. Would highly recommend and would book her again.”
About: I’ve had cats throughout my life, including two when I was younger and my lovely rescue cat, Lola, who passed away seven years ago. I still miss her very much. Lola was quite a nervous rescue, and caring for her taught me a lot about being patient, gentle, and understanding with all types of cats. I just genuinely love cats and feel comfortable with all personalities, from confident and playful to shy and sensitive. I always take my time to make sure each cat feels safe, calm, and cared for.
“Amazing pair and we could have never asked for better people to look after our fur babies. All of 3 of them got so comfortable with Fabio and Giada to the point where Yanzee drools whenever he gets excited seeing them lol. They are so caring and passionate about what they do. They will now be our go-to! Will definitely rebook them! Thank you! 🫶🏼”
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats since I was a child and have always been comfortable around animals of different sizes, breeds, and personalities. Friends and family have regularly trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and look after their pets while they were away. I understand how important patience, attention, and routine are to keeping pets happy and comfortable.
About: I have had pets my whole life, I now have my own cat called Reggie and I also help to walk my parents dogs. I also look after my neighbours animals if they go away which ranges from fish to turtles, Guinea pigs, rabbits, cats and dogs! I am completely reliable and very caring. I love all kinds of animals and can’t wait to meet your fur baby’s! I am currently only working part time Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays until 2 in the afternoon so will be available every day after 2 or all day Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays! We have a high fenced large garden and live in a very quiet area backing onto big fields so if your pooch needs a walk I could take them for a lovely field walk
About: I've been fortunate to share my life with three cats over the years, each with their own unique personalities. My most recent cat, Gizmo, was full of fun and energy often sprinting down the garden and climbing trees, showing just how lively and playful she was. Gizmo was diagnosed with chronic kidney disease, so I gained hands-on experience managing specific dietary needs, including feeding renal-based foods and sticking to a routine that supported her health. Sadly, she later passed away from lymphoma, but caring for her through this time taught me patience, attentiveness, and the importance of gentle, loving care. For eight years, Gizzy used a litter tray by choice (she was quite the little princess!), so I’m very comfortable with litter tray care and keeping things clean and fresh. I understand how important a tidy, comfortable environment is for cats. I also have experience caring for a neighbour’s cat while they were away on holiday, as well as spending lots of time with the friendly cats in our neighbourhood who often visit our garden. I genuinely love cats and treat each one as if they were my own, ensuring they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Really pleased at how Sian looked after Mimi. She was very informative, caring and sent nice pictures. It enabled us to relax and not worry whilst we were away. I would definitely recommend.”
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my whole life — growing up with family dogs taught me how to care for pups of all personalities, sizes, and energy levels. Whether it's cuddling on the couch or going for long walks, being around animals has always been a big part of who I am. What makes me different from other sitters? I treat every dog like my own. I take the time to get to know their unique quirks, routines, and needs, so they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’m dependable, communicative, and genuinely passionate about making sure your furry friend is well cared for. Whether your dog is playful and energetic or calm and cuddly, I’m here to give them the attention and care they deserve. I’d love to meet your pup! I currently work part time right now in the NHS, WFH on Wednesdays, I’m free Thursdays and Fridays for looking after your fur babies! Willing to be free for cuddles and attention! I have a fenced garden and I have a very friendly and playful Cavapoo who loves company! The big woods is down my road for walkies! Also I have a neighbour with a dog and a puppy who loves to come out and play too. I will update you with pics throughout the day!

“Shelley had my labradoodle last minute for me whilst I went to work. She sent lots of photos all day to update me with how he got on. He looked like he had a lovely day and would definitely use Shelley again! Thankyou so much xxx”

About: While I'm newer to professional dog-sitting, I've spent years building real hands-on experience with dogs. For years, I lived with my family's Shih Tzu (Simba) and took an active role in his daily care including regular walks, feeding and making sure he felt loved and comfortable. I've also taken care of other family dogs including labradors and a cavapoo. These experiences have given me a genuine understanding of a dog's routine and needs. I'm a careful, attentive caregiver who treats every dog like family and I'm excited to bring that same warmth and dedication to your pup! I am typically at home during weekdays with plenty of time to take care of your pet(s). Availability on weekends is also possible on request. I love an active lifestyle so happy to take dogs for a walk anytime if day. I have a fenced garden for your dog(s) to run around and let off some steam. Different rooms inside the house for activity/spending time or quieter places for rest and relaxation for your dogs.
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all kinds since I was 10. Neighbours, friends, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and keep their pets safe and comfortable. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to follow routines exactly for meals, meds, crates, and house rules included. I always send regular updates and photos so you feel at ease. Pet care fits easily into my routine because I plan my days around walks, feeding times, and check-ins. I’m available for morning and evening visits, and I can also do longer daytime stays when needed. I’m consistent, on time, and I’ll keep your pet’s routine the same. Safety is my top priority. I follow instructions exactly (leash rules, feeding amounts, meds, and house routines) and I keep doors and gates secure. I monitor your pet closely, avoid unsafe areas or off-leash situations unless you request it, and I send regular updates with photos.

I absolutely love dogs and now have more time to devote to other dogs..We have 2 extremely gentle and friendly Golden Retrievers who love walks in the Countryside and we have bred dogs so have many years experience with young and old dogs. Any dog staying with us will have 2 walks a day and one of us at hand all the time. One of our dogs is a Therapy dog and I have had previous therapy dogs, proving that I have a lot of training experience with dogs. We are around virtually all the time between us, in the day and evenings and weekends. They would fit in to our dogs routine of walks and meals We have a totally secure fenced garden looking out onto open fields in our rural setting here in our village near Baldock, Letchworth and Stevenage. They will have full run of downstairs and our secured garden.
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.
“Sarah is great and Stanley, my cocker spaniel loves being with her for walks and lots cuddles. Sarah is very friendly, responds quickly to my questions and is very flexible. She is a great find.”
“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!”
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.
“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: My partner and I have grown up with dogs and had them in our families our entire lives. From spaniels, to labradors and most recently our own Viszla Riley. We love all types of dogs, from chilled to crazy and from small to large. Any dog will be well looked after with plenty of space to run in the fields on our doorstep. I work from home 2-3 days a week. Usually these are Tuesdays Wednesday and or Fridays but I can be flexible and move things around quite easily. When I’m at home I’ll be downstairs making sure they’re ok with regular attention, toilet breaks and a walk on my lunch break. If they stay into the evening I can offer a second walk. We have a fenced garden for safe garden exploration. We have a 3 year old viszla called Riley. Hes a sweet boy that gets on with all dogs. Whether they want to play with him or not!
About: I’ve had pets since I can remember and have always had a dog in the family home. My partner Declan and I are the go-to dog sitters for our friends and families, looking after dogs of all shapes and sizes from cuddly cockapoos to energetic springer spaniels! My family dog was a rescue and so I’m familiar dealing with dogs who are anxious on the lead/need a little more care than some others. We live in an apartment and are unable to get our own permanent dog just yet, but love taking care of other people’s to fill the puppy shaped hole! As we are in an apartment however we’re unable to take on any pets that aren’t fully toilet trained. We understand the value of routine and love to take care of every dog as though they were our own, with long walks both in town and through the surrounding countryside. Your dog will feel safe and at home with us, and you’ll get regular pup-dates so you can be sure they’re enjoying their stay! I work from the office two days per week but can be flexible with this to accommodate mid-week bookings. I’m available for boarding on weekends and weekdays after 5pm. We have an outside area for bathroom breaks and your dog will be supervised whenever they are outside. We love cuddles on the sofa but do ask for medium/large dogs to sleep on their own bed rather than sharing ours!

“Walked my dog for me very last minute as I was feeling unwell, Bru had a brilliant time and Shelley was lovely and communicated throughout. Thank you so much x”
“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!”

“Our dog Sandy is shy when new people come to the house. Lottie was great with her, she was patient and made sure she gave enough time to Sandy to adjust. She sent regular updates to me and Sandy was really happy to be with her. Lottie sounds really positive and happy to be with Sandy.”

About: Over the years, I’ve been extremely lucky to be trusted to care for friends’ and family members’ dogs while they’re at work, away for weekends, or on holiday. I’ve looked after a variety of breeds, including Labradors, Shiba Inus, and mixed breeds, and I understand that every dog has their own unique personality and needs. Some dogs are happiest relaxing quietly, others love long walks, some enjoy hours of belly rubs, and others just want to play and cuddle. I take the time to really listen to owners and learn about each dog’s routine, preferences, and personality, which helps me provide care that feels familiar and comfortable for them. This individual approach is what has led to trusted, ongoing dog-sitting relationships. I truly believe no two dogs are ever the same, and I care for each one as if they were my own. I currently work full-time Monday to Friday, but I’m available for local walks or drop-ins during my lunch breaks. With notice, I’m also available from Friday evening through to Sunday evening, to help care for your pets. I’m reliable, organised, and happy to plan ahead to make sure your pet’s needs fit comfortably into my routine. I had my cat Gizzy for 8 years in our 3-bedroom home, where she was free to roam and enjoy our large, fully fenced garden. She loved spending hours basking in the sun on our decking during the spring and summer months. Inside, she had full access to furniture and especially loved relaxing on the sofa. When caring for friends’ or neighbours’ pets, I follow their instructions carefully and respect their home and routines. I’m often entrusted with a key and any special requirements their pets may have. I prioritise safety, comfort, and creating a loving environment so every pet feels secure, happy, and well cared for while in my care.
“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 taken care of older pups who need extra help and spritely pups who need extra tiring out! I have spent most of my life around cats and dogs including my house neighbours houses and friends homes. Currently I have a part time job on weekends and a creative job in the week which leaves me with plenty of free time to help with fluffy creatures Every pet is different I base my care of each individual based off the information you give to me for example I know some escape artists who need a little extra caution regarding open doors.
About: I come from a family of dog lovers and have a dog of my own, so have had plenty of experience with dogs of various breeds and sizes from a very young age, including training, walking, and pet-sitting. I have been providing dog walking, sitting, and drop-in services for several years now, including transporting them safely to and from our walk locations. I like to vary the routes we take to ensure each walk is a stimulating and enriching experience for the dogs. I can also provide tailored training during 1-to-1 walks, for things such as leash pulling and recall. I am also fully insured and DBS-checked. I provide pet care services full time, so am able to walk dogs or provide drop-in visits on a daily basis at various times throughout the day, and have good availability and flexibility for pet sitting. I provide pet sitting services in the owners home, following the routine/rules laid out by the owners to ensure consistency and that the dogs have the comforts of their own home and routine.
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’ve cared for dogs and cats since I was a child and have always been comfortable around animals of different sizes, breeds, and personalities. Friends and family have regularly trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and look after their pets while they were away. I understand how important patience, attention, and routine are to keeping pets happy and comfortable. I’m currently working from home, so I have plenty of time to look after your cats and dogs. I’m available for boarding during both weekdays and weekends. We have a fenced front garden where pets can safely play and enjoy some outdoor time. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, medication, and routines, to help pets feel comfortable and at home. Since I work from home, I’m able to supervise them throughout the day and keep them company.
About: I have had pets my whole life, I now have my own cat called Reggie and I also help to walk my parents dogs. I also look after my neighbours animals if they go away which ranges from fish to turtles, Guinea pigs, rabbits, cats and dogs! I am completely reliable and very caring. I love all kinds of animals and can’t wait to meet your fur baby’s! I am currently only working part time Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays until 2 in the afternoon so will be available every day after 2 or all day Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays! We have a high fenced large garden and live in a very quiet area backing onto big fields so if your pooch needs a walk I could take them for a lovely field walk
“Amy is very kind and patient. She took great care of Poppy and Mabel and they were very happy dogs when I returned home. I will definitely ask Amy to look after my dogs in the future and I highly recommend her.”
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.
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all kinds since I was 10. Neighbours, friends, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and keep their pets safe and comfortable. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to follow routines exactly for meals, meds, crates, and house rules included. I always send regular updates and photos so you feel at ease. Pet care fits easily into my routine because I plan my days around walks, feeding times, and check-ins. I’m available for morning and evening visits, and I can also do longer daytime stays when needed. I’m consistent, on time, and I’ll keep your pet’s routine the same. Safety is my top priority. I follow instructions exactly (leash rules, feeding amounts, meds, and house routines) and I keep doors and gates secure. I monitor your pet closely, avoid unsafe areas or off-leash situations unless you request it, and I send regular updates with photos.

“A big thank you to Catherine and her family for looking after Benji so well! It was his first time staying away from us and he's clearly had a wonderful time, enjoying lots of fuss and cuddles. The environment was perfect for him, a loving family home. We would thoroughly recommend Catherine as a sitter - nothing phased her and we were kept regularly updated with photos throughout his stay. He's looking forward to coming again!”
“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!”
“Fiona is an experience and knowledgable dog handler. We were very pleased with Monty's stay and would not hesitate booking another stay.......if Fiona would have him !! We were sent lots of photos of Monty during his stay and we were given lots of useful feedback and tips on our return.”

“Jasraj was very warm and friendly and very professional. He sent photos everyday and it was clear he walked the dogs everyday. He always got back to us right away when we messaged him. 100% would hire him again and recommend fully to anyone else.”

“Kellie and Andy were great and our black lab Alfie absolutely loved his time with them. They were very quick to reply and also asked questions to understand what Alfie needs in order to take best care of him. We got daily updates which were lovely - Alfie seemed so happy. It went so well that we’ve rebooked for our little boy to stay with them again. Would definitely recommend them, they are lovely 🐾 ♥️”
About: I have a dog 3 year old female mini pincher. Love taking care of her and playing with her. I trained her as a puppy as well. I am working 3 days from the office a week. There are couple of green areas around as well that would be great for playing. My dog is with my parents in another country but I would love to take care of other dogs occasionally here. Your dog will be in good hands.
“Corinne was brilliant with Poppy. It was reassuring to be sent photos every day and I could see how happy she was. Corinne went out of her way to make sure that Poppy felt settled and happy and I would 100% recommend her.”
“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!”
“Karen and her family were absolutely amazing looking after Teddy and Oscar! They made them feel so comfortable and at home and I could tell from the pictures the boys had such a lovely time. While we were away it was such a relief to know they were with such a loving family. Really grateful to have found Karen. 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”
“Sue and James were incredible looking after our pug, Loki. They kept in contact with us regularly while we were away on holiday, sending us photos and videos and giving us updates on how Loki was doing. They also have two beautiful dogs, who have a lovely temperament, which I am sure helped to put Loki at ease. Highly recommend!”
“Our puppy Waffles, was well looked after and so spoilt. Charlotte kept us updated and sent photos and videos of Waffles, he looked very happy and settled. Happy to leave him with Charlotte again in the future.”
“My dog had a great time with Mylinh. Mylinh kept me updated and sent me lots of pictures through out my dogs stay with her. Easy to communicate with and always got back to me quickly. I would 100% reccomend Mylinh.”
“Harry, my Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, had a wonderful time staying with Sarah. He loved her other Cavaliers and enjoyed great walks and lots of cuddles. He was so chilled when we arrived back to pick him up that he barely lifted his head from the comfiest, softiest bean bag that I've ever seen! We had a wonderful holiday knowing that Harry was being cared for with kindness and love. We can't thank you enough and look forward to seeing you soon!”
About: Antonia and I are both dog lovers looking for extra company on walks and in the holidays. I have had 2 Border Collies growing up as a child, one of which my parents still have now called Lily. I helped to train her from a pup, and have confidence with helping other dogs recall. I was also on borrow my doggie looking after other people dogs which have varied in size, breed and one had a disability. This went well and kept me busy in the school holidays however it was only a voluntary role. I am a teacher therefore will be busy on most days from 7am to 4:30pm School holidays or weekends would be a great time to care for your dog I have a fenced garden which is secure. Opposite the house there is a large green and small forest perfect for walks. In the house the dogs will be cared for as you wish. We are happy to have the dogs on the sofa and upstairs or in a crate if you prefer We often look after my mums dog so there are treats and toys in the house already
“Cannot fault Stanley’s overnight stay with Abigail! She was sending me pictures every few hours to tell me how he was settling in. Given this was our first time leaving our boy we was apprehensive but we had to convince him to leave with us! Will definitely be going back :)”
