“Bagheera was happy and well looked after. He can sometimes be unsure of men but took really well to maxines husband. I would be more than happy to leave Bagheera with them again. Thank you for looking after him while we was away.”
“Lianne and David are the loveliest of people. Kind and caring and real dog lovers. My Mabel was thoroughly looked after (spoiled 🥰) with lots of love and attention. Definitely recommend and we will be back! Thank you, Px”
“Just picked the dogs up. They both seem very relaxed and happy. Shirley-Ann has sent me pictures etc every day and looked after one the dogs ears for us. I’m sure they will be happy to be back there later this year.”
“Nina and her family welcomed Teilo into the home with warmth and reassurance. Nina is experienced with, and knowledgeable about dogs and has a calm, confident and affectionate manner with them. Teilo settled in very quickly and got lots of walks, play and attention. It was great for him to be with Nina's two dogs who were friendly and accepting of Teilo in their home, as he doesn't often get time with other dogs. I got regular communication and lots of photos. I will be using Nina again and recommend her to anyone looking for a five star sitter.”
“My little dog absolutely loved staying with Sarah at her farm, she was so well looked after and especially liked running after the tennis ball, playing with Harvey their Labrador and exploring the vast garden at her home. We were updated regularly and sent a video during Fifi’s stay leaving us feeling extremely reassured and able to enjoy our time away. We cannot wait to use Sarah again! Highly recommend 😊”
“Tabitha and Ben looked after Bosley so well, as if he was part of their family. I knew that while I was enjoying my holiday, he was enjoying his. Thank you both for taking my boy into your family.”
About: I’ve taken care of our family dog, who was in my life for 17 years. I loved nothing more than spending time with him; playing games in the garden, and going on lovely walks. At current I occasionally look after my brothers dog - I often pick him up to have a nice walk and a sleepover! In my area I have beautiful walks where there’s space to let dogs off the lead if they can be, with the beach just around the corner. I house/dog sit for my auntie around 3 times a year for3 labs who all love attention, cuddles, play and walks! We enjoy nice evening cuddles on the sofa watching some TV. I currently work full time, so am only available fully on weekends. During school holidays, I’m able to work from home for half the week, which will give me more flexibility/availability. At home we are fully fenced in, with an easily accessible garden, from double doors leading from the kitchen. This is perfect for any doggies coming to stay! I’m used to having to crate in one dog I’ve dog sat before, so am happy to do that.
“Heidi recently looked after our lively little Cavapoochon overnight. Bingo clearly had a great time and seemed very at home when I collected him. Bingo will definitely be staying with Heidi again and I would wholeheartedly recommend Heidi to anyone looking for a welcoming, caring home from home for their dog.”
“Amazing couple, with a clear love of animals. I was so nervous leaving cain, but he had a wonderful time, which was clear in the regular updates received. Highly recommend.”
About: I’ve had a dog ever since I was little and absolutely love them! 8 years ago I became a qualified Dog groomer which I still love doing, before this I done 2 years at college in animal care. Being a dog groomer has gave me the experience with handling or sorts of different dogs. I’m currently at work on Mondays. I’m at home for the majority of the week with my daughter so that gives us plenty of time to spend with your doggies Our garden is completely fenced off with two gates. If you’d like your dog to be crated we are happy to do so but would need to be supplied.
“Such a kind and thoughtful woman. Our dog is allergic to Christmas trees, and Andrea was so accommodating, that she moved her tree away from any areas our dog had access too. We got the feeling that nothing was too much trouble for her, and we're very grateful that she could take in our dog at such short notice. We would definitely recommend Andrea and her beautiful dog.”
“Lewis has been brilliant with my dog. He seems to make a lot of effort to get to know the pets he looks after and learns quickly about the specifics of breed. Lewis has very calm nature and wonderful aura around him and my boy seemed to settle with ease when boarding and he had wonderful time with plenty of walks and adventures. I Will definitely use Lewis service again and I’m sure my doggo can’t wait to see him again!”
“So pleased with Jasmine and how she looked after Athena! It was her first time staying with Jasmine and it was clear that she was a very happy girl when we picked her up and was looking after! Jasmine was very sweet and professional and provided us with updates about what they were up to! Will definitely use Jasmine again for longer stays when we are next away. Thank you! 😊”
About: I grew up with pets so I know what it takes to keep them happy & healthy. I am very energetic and good at keeping control of the leash during walks. Beagles have a special place in my heart. I have owned birds, bunnies, guinea pigs, cats, fish, and dogs. Dogs are the world's greatest friends. Having me as a dog walker/sitter will make you feel at ease because you know your dog is safe with me. I am very reliable, and have good references. I am available any day and time. I work from home, which provides a lot of flexibility and allows me to spend time with my dog and take care of others. I have a friendly beagle to keep your dog company. Dogs are allowed upstairs and on the furniture. My home is there home! There are quiet spaces provided if your dog prefers to be in its own environment.
“Sue and Tim was looking after our dog Toby for 9 days while we were on holiday. Sue accepted my request last minute, as we were let down by someone few days before our flight. And by the look of it Tony had the best time. He was walked few times a day, also Tim and Sue was taking Tobi to the cafe and pub also to the seaside, so he wasn’t left at home alone. Toby was very happy and relaxed when we picked him up ☺️ Definitely 5 stars!!”
“I would 100% recommend Gemma and her family. Gemma responded really quickly to my request, invited us over, listened and understood our tricky spaniel and his anxieties. They were not phased at all and Chester loved their dog straight away and they were off in the garden running around. They took him on adventures to the park and also for a lovely beach day, and sent lots of photos. I honestly could not have felt happier leaving him anywhere. Such a lovely friendly family and their children loved Chester and made a fuss of him too.”
“Monique and her husband took great care of Rainey. They were both so kind and welcoming, and I could tell Rainey had a wonderful time with them. Monique always responded quickly to my messages and kept me updated, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. Thank you both for taking such good care of Rainey. I would definitely recommend Monique to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter!”
“Definitely recommend Bonnie and her family. She kept me up to date with pictures and what Chrio was up to during his overnight stay. Chrio was being very spoilt and could see that he was being well looked after. She definitely made me feel at ease. Thanks again. 😀😀”
“Rarely do I find two people who genuinely care for the dogs they look after like Jaques and Anne. My dog was really at home with them and we will definitely be back. They really made an effort to understood her personality which made it easy for her to settle in. Regular updates were also much appreciated.”

“Leanne was excellent. She kept me informed each day and sent me photos. It was so nice to have the reassurance that my elderly cats were doing so well while I was away. I would wholeheartedly recommend Leanne and will be asking her to look after them again on my next trip.”
About: Growing up in a family house we always had some sort of animal like a cat and mostly big dogs. Such as 3 newfoundlands and also recently lost our giant St Bernard. I have moved back to Lowestoft after living in south London for a couple years and do miss the loving interaction so I am open to giving attention to dogs and cats that need it. Very gentle to those dogs that are more elderly, but can also bring the energy for those puppies that need to be worn out. I do work as cabin crew working 5 on and 4 off so would be doing this on my days off. I can mark this in my calendar. Can do early or late as I do drive too. I can’t have pets in my flat unfortunately so I would be coming to your home or taking them on a walk due to my landlords rules.
About: I have taken care of pets for 8 years now, previously having two cats and currently having an adorable fluffy dog which I time share with my parents due to rental restrictions. I used to work on a farm working with horses, cows and goats which was quite a challenge! I now volunteer for an elderly couple in my village to walk their senior dog to make sure she stays active in her older years. I am used to feeding, bathing and performing grooming tasks for both dogs and cats (alongside some big farm animals too!). I am currently working full time in local government, meaning I don't get much time to spend with cute friendly faces in my social life. Therefore providing these services outside of my normal work hours is a true passion of mine. I am happy to have a weekly routine with your pet if this is something you would prefer, and I can work this around my job based on your request. The same goes for any kind of house sitting arrangement, so please do ask! I am extremely respectful with the different training styles and any feeding, grooming or house arrangements that each individual pet and owner have. I am used to handling lots of animals of different behaviors, sizes and medical needs; so i can adapt to what is necessary for each animal in my care.
About: I’ve been caring for cats for over 20 years, from family pets to friends’ cats, as well as working in a rescue centre and a cat boarding facility. My experience ranges from confident, social cats to more nervous or independent personalities. I’ve even worked with big cats (lions, tigers oh my!), giving me a strong understanding of feline behaviour and body language. I’m confident with feeding routines, medication, litter care, and creating a calm, stress-free environment while owners are away. I treat every cat in my care with patience, respect, and individual attention.
“Saffron has been absolutely brilliant. We were away for 2 weeks and had peace of mind knowing our cat and rabbit were being well looked after. We had regular updates and pictures and she even took in parcels for us. We will definitely be using her in the future!!”

About: I am a reliable and responsible cat sitter based in a tiny village near Norwich where I live with my cat St John. I am clean, quiet and do not drink, smoke or throw parties. I have lived with cats my whole life so have lots of experience looking after all life stages from kittens to elderly, as well as both long and short-haired breeds. I also have experience with rabbits, guinea pigs and fish. I offer live-in house and cat sitting services, as well as drop-in visits, in and around Norwich, Lowestoft and the villages in between.
About: I have had pet dogs and cats since the age of 10 and have also spent lots of time caring for friends and family pets. For 15 years I ran a smallholding with goats, pigs, sheep and various types of poultry and also farm sat on a regular basis at a 100 head goat farm. Experienced in milking and kidding. I love all types of animals, love spending time with them and treat them all as if they were my own. I'm happy to house sit and care for your animals throughout the UK and Europe. I am currently working part time but this is very flexible and from January 2026 I'll be available for full time pet sitting. I can't wait. I will look after your pets and your house as if they were my own. I am very reliable and trustworthy and have a DBS check.
About: Level 3 canine carer. I am DBS checked. Have lived with staffies for 20 years. Worked in multiple dog care jobs and rescue centres. Absolutely nothing I love more. I currently work zero hour so I am very flexible with what hours I do. We can figure out whatever time is suitable for the three of us☺️ To start I will do a drop in session with you and your pet to have a chat and find out a bit more about their characteristics from you and places they love to walk! I completely understand how nerve wracking it can be leaving your pet in someone else’s care, as a dog owner myself I only want the best for my dog which is why I think it is best to meet and greet first before doing any solo walking or sitting!
“Hannah took on our challenging pets and managed them well. We have a blind Bengal and a very wild Savannah cat. She gave lots of updates and I was able to enjoy a night away without worry.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and other pets from a very young age, giving me years of hands-on experience with animals of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. From daily walks and playtime to feeding, basic training, and lots of love and attention, I understand how important routine, safety, and trust are for pets and their owners. I’m confident handling energetic puppies, gentle seniors, and everything in between, always making sure each dog feels happy, comfortable, and well cared for while in my care. I carefully balance pet care alongside my work and college schedule by offering set, reliable time slots that fit naturally into my daily routine, such as mornings, afternoons, and evenings. This allows me to provide consistent walks and check-ins without overbooking or rushing visits. I always communicate my availability clearly, so owners know exactly when to expect me, and I make sure every pet gets my full attention, care, and time. Being organised helps me give dependable, loving care while maintaining a busy but well-managed schedule. When caring for pets in their own homes and on walks, I always follow each owner’s specific instructions to keep routines familiar and stress-free for their pets. I make sure pets are fed on time, given fresh water, plenty of attention, and any basic care they need, such as cleaning bowls or refreshing litter areas. On walks, I focus on safety, positive handling, and fun exercise while keeping dogs secure on leads and away from hazards. I treat every home with respect and every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel happy, comfortable, and well cared for at all times.
“Lucy has done such a lovely job looking after our senior cat again - he loves her and we’ve come home to a very happy and relaxed cat! The updates were brilliant and we’d recommend her 100%. Thank you Lucy!”
About: Me and my partner work from home full time and would love the company of a four-legged friend. I only ever take in one dog at a time, this means your dog gets 100% of my attention, the best spot on the sofa, and a routine that doesn't change just because they aren't at home. I keep my client list small and exclusive to ensure I can be available when you need it most. My home is a calm and quiet space, I have no dogs or kids of my own and live it a very quite estate on the edge of norwich. Whether we’re heading out for a long afternoon walk or just hanging out while I’m at my desk, your dog will be treated exactly like my own. They’ll have the run of the house and plenty of belly rubs. I have a completely fenced garden which they have access to as much as needed. I have a very cosy office with a sofa they have exclusive use of.

About: We had our own beautiful border collie for 8 years, who has sadly passed. We have also looked after dogs for friends and love getting out walking with them. We have the beach, woods, parks and fields on our doorstep. We would love to give your dog a comfortable stress free home whilst you are away. We would prefer to meet them first to decide if we, you and your dog would be happy for us to care for them. My husband and I are both retired. We have no other commitments so your dog would be our priority. There would always be someone here, so the dog would never be alone. We have a small fenced back garden and spacious living room area. We also have a crate if thats what your dog is used you.
“Absolutely perfect. It was my first time using Rover. I was so undecided whether to bring Odin for our weekend away as he gets a bit fed up being dragged around on lead but didn’t want to leave him in kennels. I felt doggy daycare for a couple of afternoons would be the best of both worlds. Maxine & hubby was so lovely, booked us in at short notice, responded to messages super quick and we felt 100% comfortable leaving him. Without a doubt if we come down this way again we would love Maxine to look after him. Thank you for being so wonderful!”
About: Hey, I'm Lewis (my pals call me Zeus), I'm a 29 year old post graduate that loves music, books and most importantly, nature. I have worked with dogs, large and small, cats, chickens, snakes, bearded dragons, guinea pigs and rats, and have enjoyed every second of it. I love to get to know each animal and see their personality shine through! I believe that every animal deserves to be cared for the way we'd care for our own, as such I like to make sure that when I'm visiting or sitting for a pet that they get the best possible service from myself. This includes sticking to any schedules the pet may have or are used to with you the owner. I've been told that I'm polite, thorough and that people's pets love me! I'm used to working with a variety of animals, all with wildly different needs from puppies & kittens to older pets to animals that are anxious. I offer a variety of services including visits, walking and day boarding, however petsitting at their own home is preferred as my own dog is a very old scottie! You'll find me professional, friendly and tidy with a focus on your pets needs. I'm currently trying to work up a regular clientele as most jobs have been one offs or last minute favours but I have found that I truly enjoy working with animals and would like to make a business of it! I hope to hear from you soon! I've recently moved into the area from Brighton, as such I'm having to start from scratch with my pet-sitting service, as such I've all the time in the world to dedicate to your furry (or finned, feathered or scaled) friends. Our current house has a fully fenced back garden and a small green space in the front garden. The house is warm and typically quiet, with a lot of vertical space for exploration. I also have the luxury of being in close proximity to the Marshes for dog walking.
About: My husband and I have an expansive house with a large enclosed garden. We have many pets and are huge animal lovers. Our pets are completely spoilt and get treated like kings and queens under our roof. I’m a nurse and my caring nature comes naturally. I love spending all my spare time with animals and enjoying walks with my spaniel. I’m extremely lucky that my job as a nurse allows me to work some days from home. My husband also works from home but goes into London once a week. I don’t work 5 days a week and often have more days off as I work long shifts. However, when I do work from home your pet will have lots of cuddles and will have a long walk during my lunch break Animals are allowed free rein of the house and are allowed on sofas and beds. They have a 0.75 acre panoramic garden which is enclosed and gated for safety. It has many smells, trees and sticks which makes it great fun for dogs to explore
About: I provide attentive, personalized care that helps pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I take the time to learn each dog or cat’s routine, personality, and needs so they receive care that feels familiar and stress-free. Whether it’s keeping up with puppy training, administering medications, caring for senior pets, or giving extra patience to shy animals, I treat every pet like family. I also keep owners updated with regular photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your pets are in caring, dependable hands. I am currently working flexible hours during the week so I am able to suit around your animals needs and availability is totally free on weekends. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, comfortable, and welcoming environment. I make sure each pet has a designated space for rest, access to fresh water, and meals provided on their regular schedule. I maintain a clean and pet-friendly space, free of hazards, where they can feel secure and relaxed. I provide plenty of playtime, walks and enrichment activities to keep them happy and stimulated. If a pet has special dietary needs or requires medication, I follow the owner’s instructions carefully. I also ensure that pets receive lots of affection and attention, so they feel right at home while in my care. When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on maintaining their familiar routine and environment to minimize stress. I make sure they are fed on schedule, have access to clean water, and are given proper exercise through walks and playtime. I also follow any specific instructions provided by the owner, including administering medications, maintaining grooming routines, or using specific training cues. In addition to caring for the pet, I respect the owner’s home by keeping it clean and secure. I make sure the pet’s living areas are tidy, and I provide updates to the owner so they feel reassured that their pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

About: I’ve have pets most of my life and have raised several dogs from the puppy stage and cats from kittens. We live in a property far from a main road over a stream and on the edge of a lovely big meadow. We also have an enclosed secure garden. My husband and I are both retired so your pets would have plenty of company and exercise. We are retired so happy to give your pet as much exercise as they need. We would typically walk dogs first thing in the morning and then additional walks as needed. We have a secure garden and are on the edge of a large meadow. We have space for crates if your dog prefers to sleep in a crate.
“We hadn't left our Sprocker Spaniel doggies with anyone until we found Heidi......she was relaxed, they were relaxed and we were relaxed. They had a lovely time and we will be leaving them back with Heidi another time to be cared for, loved and spoiled!!!”
About: I have looked after pets ever since I was a little boy, whether that was my own or a family or friends. When I was younger I helped my parents puppy train the dogs we had and I have done the same with mine ever since. My passion lies with animals and giving them all the care, love & attention they deserve. Working from home means I can do this :) I currently work full time from home so I can give your pet all the care and attention in the world along with plenty of playtime and love! I have a 4 bedroom house with a fenced garden where your pooch can feel at home. There are plenty of shaded areas also. When the weather is nice I can take playtime outside for them or at your wishes! I lost my 2 of my fur babies earlier this year and August of last year and have been devastated ever since. I now currently have just a small miniature poodle who is coming up to a year old. He is lovely & he loves all dogs and would love a friend to play with. If you would like your dog kept separate then that is of course fine as well. We have plenty of toys and treats here but feel free to bring your own if that makes them feel more comfortable :)

About: We’re lifelong dog lovers and take a considered, personal approach so each dog receives plenty of individual attention. My husband and I both work from home full time, meaning dogs in our care are rarely left alone and enjoy consistent company throughout the day. During the week, our home is particularly calm as our two children (aged 6 and 8) are at school. We share our home with our own 3-year-old dog, who is relaxed, friendly, and well socialised with other dogs. Our children have grown up around dogs and are gentle and respectful, understanding when a dog needs space. We are best suited to dogs who are comfortable in a family environment and around children. Our home is spacious, with several quiet areas where dogs can rest if they prefer their own space, as well as the option to stay close to us in our home office. We also have a secure, fully fenced garden for safe outdoor time. Sleeping arrangements are flexible and tailored to your dog’s usual routine. We follow a calm, consistent daily routine, including at least one walk a day, and we’re happy to maintain your dog’s normal feeding, medication, and care.

We’re always happy to arrange a meet and greet to make sure it’s the right fit for everyone.

As already mentioned, you can rest assured your dog is in safe hands - our garden is fully fenced. We can also go for on-lead walks for your peace of mind.

About: Hello, I am Alison and live with my husband and two daughters, aged 10 and 14, on an 8 acre small holding near Pulham Market. I have had dogs for the past 15 years. I have free range chickens and three barn cats who do not come into the house. Please note that although these are outside animals, they are still our pets and loved dearly. I do not currently have any dogs as our lovely whippet Megan passed away in January from old age. I have had all our dogs since puppies so I am experienced with all age dogs from puppy to old age. My mum has a retired greyhound which I look after, and my brother has a golden retriever and a rescued Portuguese street dog which again I look after when needed. I work part time from home so there is always someone in the house. I particularly love long dog walks and enjoy having a companion with me. My mum's retired greyhound is very nervous and reactive so have experience with anxious dogs and rescues. I will only have one dog stay at a time (unless they are from the same household, of course) so I can tailor the activities (ie long walks, short walks etc) to suit your dog's needs and requirements. On a side note, and I appreciate this isn't everybody's cup of tea, but I am also Reiki Master and have had wonderful results giving Reiki to animals. I have treated a 13 year old labrador which back leg issues with incredible results. Apart from physical ailments, Reiki can also provide effective relief from anxiety and really helps to calm dogs down. I would be delighted, with your permission, to provide Reiki to your dog, if needed, whilst in our care. I will provide regular photos and video updates whilst your dog is with us. Just to be clear, I will be the primary person taking care of your dog but my husband and daughters will also be in the house with your dog. Please note, I am 5'4" and weight 52kg so I am pretty small. Please bear that in mind especially if you have a large dog or your dog pulls on the lead as I'm unlikely to be the right person for your dog. I work part time from home so I are available for sitting and day care every day of the week including weekends. I welcome both long and short stays. I would go for walk first thing each day and in the evenings plus a mid day walk if needed and they can have as many personal needs breaks outside as wanted. This will obviously be tailored to each individual dog and their specific requirements I have a large dog crate which can be used if needed but your fur baby will have access to the whole house, apart from my Pilates studio. I have dog beds dotted around the house plus plenty of blankets and towels to make your dog comfortable. I live on an 8 acre small holding but due to the other animals (including deer, hares, pheasants, rabbits, chickens, barn cats etc) I would keep your dog on a lead for their safety. Walks would be through fields, lanes and the local woods. I’d need to know their dog’s routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any medical or behavioural requirements. It’s also helpful to know how they are with other dogs and people, whether they’re house-trained, and if there are any fears, triggers, or special comforts they have. This helps me make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for.
“Duggie loved his stay with Charlotte. After an initial visit, we were very confident that it would work out well. Charlotte is very warm, friendly and knowledgeable about dogs and Duggie was comfortable with her immediately. Everything in Charlotte’s home and garden is set up to be dog friendly and she was very flexible about delivery and pick up times. During his stay, Charlotte sent me regular updates and pictures- he was clearly having a fab time. Duggie came home a very chilled and happy boy and a lovely touch was that Charlotte sent him home with a little diary of his holiday with her. We will definitely send Duggie to Charlotte again in future and would recommend her very highly.”
About: Hi I’m Kelly, I have had animals since as long as I can remember, they have always been a huge part of the family. I work from home and so this enables me to give the animals constant love and attention. We live in an area full of beautiful places to walk the dog’s, we also have a big enclosed garden with tall fences. The animals have full roam of the house. We have one cat and one lovely dog called Mini - they live in harmony together. We do have a door that can separate the house into two areas if the animals that we look after don’t get along. Animals are my passion and I would love to be the house away from home for your fur baby whilst you are away. I would love to hear from you so please message me if you have any questions. References available I have experience looking after pugs (my mum has pugs too) french bull dogs, German shepherds, huskies, Labrador’s, labradoodles and jack Russell’s.

“Laura was an absolute life saver for me, she came very last minute to walk my spaniel and she was very communicative and friendly. Bramble had a wonderful walk with her and she sent me lots of photos. Thank you so much!”
About: Growing up in a family house we always had some sort of animal like a cat and mostly big dogs. Such as 3 newfoundlands and also recently lost our giant St Bernard. I have moved back to Lowestoft after living in south London for a couple years and do miss the loving interaction so I am open to giving attention to dogs and cats that need it. Very gentle to those dogs that are more elderly, but can also bring the energy for those puppies that need to be worn out. I do work as cabin crew working 5 on and 4 off so would be doing this on my days off. I can mark this in my calendar. Can do early or late as I do drive too. I can’t have pets in my flat unfortunately so I would be coming to your home or taking them on a walk due to my landlords rules.
About: My husband and I have an expansive house with a large enclosed garden. We have many pets and are huge animal lovers. Our pets are completely spoilt and get treated like kings and queens under our roof. I’m a nurse and my caring nature comes naturally. I love spending all my spare time with animals and enjoying walks with my spaniel. I’m extremely lucky that my job as a nurse allows me to work some days from home. My husband also works from home but goes into London once a week. I don’t work 5 days a week and often have more days off as I work long shifts. However, when I do work from home your pet will have lots of cuddles and will have a long walk during my lunch break Animals are allowed free rein of the house and are allowed on sofas and beds. They have a 0.75 acre panoramic garden which is enclosed and gated for safety. It has many smells, trees and sticks which makes it great fun for dogs to explore
About: I have been volunteering at the NASAT dog shelter for 5 months and i have also been studying for a little over a year to become a dog trainer I’m currently between jobs whilst I’m looking to move houses so I have plenty of time to take care of dogs during the day I have a 2 year old highly trained alaskan malamute who takes part in sledding, finding training and obedience training which helps him to have a great quality of life and I plan to use my knowledge to help others during the time I spend with them

I’ve cared for pups who are deaf, require medication, or just need a little extra patience and love. Confident with cats too, from independent explorers to cuddly lap cats. I’ve also looked after fish, lizards, and other small pets, and as a dedicated plant lover, I’ll make sure your greenery thrives while you're away. Reliable, calm, and always happy to keep you updated with plenty of cute photos! Hi, I’m Lauren!

I’m also super active and love morning runs, hiking trails, and exploring new cities—so if your pet enjoys an adventure, I’d love to have them join me! Since I work from home, I’ll be around a lot for extra attention and care. Plus, as a big plant lover, I’ll happily take care of your houseplants too! I’m very clean, tidy, and a respectful guest. I don’t smoke or vape, and I’ll always treat your home with care. If you're looking for a friendly, reliable sitter, I’d love to chat!

About: I’ve taken care of our family dog, who was in my life for 17 years. I loved nothing more than spending time with him; playing games in the garden, and going on lovely walks. At current I occasionally look after my brothers dog - I often pick him up to have a nice walk and a sleepover! In my area I have beautiful walks where there’s space to let dogs off the lead if they can be, with the beach just around the corner. I house/dog sit for my auntie around 3 times a year for3 labs who all love attention, cuddles, play and walks! We enjoy nice evening cuddles on the sofa watching some TV. I currently work full time, so am only available fully on weekends. During school holidays, I’m able to work from home for half the week, which will give me more flexibility/availability. At home we are fully fenced in, with an easily accessible garden, from double doors leading from the kitchen. This is perfect for any doggies coming to stay! I’m used to having to crate in one dog I’ve dog sat before, so am happy to do that.
About: I provide attentive, personalized care that helps pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I take the time to learn each dog or cat’s routine, personality, and needs so they receive care that feels familiar and stress-free. Whether it’s keeping up with puppy training, administering medications, caring for senior pets, or giving extra patience to shy animals, I treat every pet like family. I also keep owners updated with regular photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your pets are in caring, dependable hands. I am currently working flexible hours during the week so I am able to suit around your animals needs and availability is totally free on weekends. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, comfortable, and welcoming environment. I make sure each pet has a designated space for rest, access to fresh water, and meals provided on their regular schedule. I maintain a clean and pet-friendly space, free of hazards, where they can feel secure and relaxed. I provide plenty of playtime, walks and enrichment activities to keep them happy and stimulated. If a pet has special dietary needs or requires medication, I follow the owner’s instructions carefully. I also ensure that pets receive lots of affection and attention, so they feel right at home while in my care. When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on maintaining their familiar routine and environment to minimize stress. I make sure they are fed on schedule, have access to clean water, and are given proper exercise through walks and playtime. I also follow any specific instructions provided by the owner, including administering medications, maintaining grooming routines, or using specific training cues. In addition to caring for the pet, I respect the owner’s home by keeping it clean and secure. I make sure the pet’s living areas are tidy, and I provide updates to the owner so they feel reassured that their pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

I have completed (and passed) specific exams at university in regards to safety around all kinds of animals, including dogs and cats. I am currently a full-time student however during both my summer break and term time, I have a wide range of availability due to my flexible schedule between university and placements. I have lots of experience with dogs (and animals in general) of varying temperament and have been taught how to handle and care for them all. I will be sure to give your pet plenty of love, however I will also remain aware of any behavioural signs which suggests they are uncomfortable or anxious, and act accordingly! The welfare of your pets is always at the forefront of everything I do.
“Hannah and Rob were fantastic at looking after Bear. This is the first time we have used a dog walker. They arrived on time and often walked him for more than the allotted 1 hour. Hannah sent lots of photos and messages. It was great to see Bear so relaxed and happy. I highly recommend Hannah and Rob and will not hesitate to use them in the future.”
About: Since I was 7 years old my mum was a dog breeder and so I have always been surrounded by dogs. This included years of dog walking, grooming, taking care of puppies as well as our senior dogs. When I was 17 I got a job at a dog kennel where I gave dogs their medications, walked them daily, cleaned and gave them all the fuss and love I could! I now have two dogs, a poodle and a cocker spaniel who I love with all of my heart! I am currently working self employed as a massage therapist, lash tech and cleaner. Whilst I gain clients in those areas I thought why not use my passion and love for animals to become a dog walker/sitter! My daily routine includes lots of walks and anything outside! This job would fit well around my routine due to being self employed so I control my working hours, I am also available quite often for this role. I will treat your dogs as I treat my own. They will get all of my attention, I will ensure they are safe, happy and hydrated! They will be supplied with endless cuddles and walks (as long as it’s not too hot!)
About: Level 3 canine carer. I am DBS checked. Have lived with staffies for 20 years. Worked in multiple dog care jobs and rescue centres. Absolutely nothing I love more. I currently work zero hour so I am very flexible with what hours I do. We can figure out whatever time is suitable for the three of us☺️ To start I will do a drop in session with you and your pet to have a chat and find out a bit more about their characteristics from you and places they love to walk! I completely understand how nerve wracking it can be leaving your pet in someone else’s care, as a dog owner myself I only want the best for my dog which is why I think it is best to meet and greet first before doing any solo walking or sitting!

I will look after your pets and your house as if they were my own. I am very reliable and trustworthy and have a DBS check.
“I am very overprotective with my 2 pups and was very anxious to let someone else see to them. Trafford however was amazing! He took my girls out on 3 walks today, he let me know when he finished each walk and double checked with me about things that he didn’t want to assume was okay! Very polite and updated me on my girls throughout the day. Highly recommend and will be using again!”

“Bagheera was happy and well looked after. He can sometimes be unsure of men but took really well to maxines husband. I would be more than happy to leave Bagheera with them again. Thank you for looking after him while we was away.”
“Nina and her family welcomed Teilo into the home with warmth and reassurance. Nina is experienced with, and knowledgeable about dogs and has a calm, confident and affectionate manner with them. Teilo settled in very quickly and got lots of walks, play and attention. It was great for him to be with Nina's two dogs who were friendly and accepting of Teilo in their home, as he doesn't often get time with other dogs. I got regular communication and lots of photos. I will be using Nina again and recommend her to anyone looking for a five star sitter.”
“My little dog absolutely loved staying with Sarah at her farm, she was so well looked after and especially liked running after the tennis ball, playing with Harvey their Labrador and exploring the vast garden at her home. We were updated regularly and sent a video during Fifi’s stay leaving us feeling extremely reassured and able to enjoy our time away. We cannot wait to use Sarah again! Highly recommend 😊”
“Tabitha and Ben looked after Bosley so well, as if he was part of their family. I knew that while I was enjoying my holiday, he was enjoying his. Thank you both for taking my boy into your family.”

“Heidi recently looked after our lively little Cavapoochon overnight. Bingo clearly had a great time and seemed very at home when I collected him. Bingo will definitely be staying with Heidi again and I would wholeheartedly recommend Heidi to anyone looking for a welcoming, caring home from home for their dog.”
“Amazing couple, with a clear love of animals. I was so nervous leaving cain, but he had a wonderful time, which was clear in the regular updates received. Highly recommend.”
“Such a kind and thoughtful woman. Our dog is allergic to Christmas trees, and Andrea was so accommodating, that she moved her tree away from any areas our dog had access too. We got the feeling that nothing was too much trouble for her, and we're very grateful that she could take in our dog at such short notice. We would definitely recommend Andrea and her beautiful dog.”
“Lewis has been brilliant with my dog. He seems to make a lot of effort to get to know the pets he looks after and learns quickly about the specifics of breed. Lewis has very calm nature and wonderful aura around him and my boy seemed to settle with ease when boarding and he had wonderful time with plenty of walks and adventures. I Will definitely use Lewis service again and I’m sure my doggo can’t wait to see him again!”
About: I grew up with pets so I know what it takes to keep them happy & healthy. I am very energetic and good at keeping control of the leash during walks. Beagles have a special place in my heart. I have owned birds, bunnies, guinea pigs, cats, fish, and dogs. Dogs are the world's greatest friends. Having me as a dog walker/sitter will make you feel at ease because you know your dog is safe with me. I am very reliable, and have good references. I am available any day and time. I work from home, which provides a lot of flexibility and allows me to spend time with my dog and take care of others. I have a friendly beagle to keep your dog company. Dogs are allowed upstairs and on the furniture. My home is there home! There are quiet spaces provided if your dog prefers to be in its own environment.
“Definitely recommend Bonnie and her family. She kept me up to date with pictures and what Chrio was up to during his overnight stay. Chrio was being very spoilt and could see that he was being well looked after. She definitely made me feel at ease. Thanks again. 😀😀”
“Alison and her family were absolutely amazing with my doggo Daisy! She is nervous around new people and they made the extra effort to meet her and understand her before her stay! Throughout the whole trip I received so many photos of her amazing walks and care! I really could not recommend Alison more and will definitely be booking Daisy in for a staycation again :)”
“Ivy seemed to have a lovely time with Lisa. She kindly offered a quick meet and chat at her home prior to booking, which made me feel very comfortable leaving Ivy for the weekend and Ivy dragged me to Lisa’s house when I dropped her off 🤣👍🏼 We will definitely be booking Lisa again in the future. Thank you 😊”
“Kobe had such a wonderful stay with Mat and his family. Prior to boarding we arranged a pre-stay meeting which was great and really helpful, from that initial meeting I knew Kobe would be very well looked after. Throughout his stay Mat kept us updated with Kobe's progress and sent lots of pictures which was so lovely. Would definitely recommend and will definitely be using Mat again for boarding, so long as the crazy pup is welcome ??. Thank you all so much for looking after our boy.”
“Well what a great time Misty had with Abigail. The beach, paddling pool and lots of attention. And even a record card of how misty enjoyed herself was lovely to receive. We cannot recommend Abigail enough. And look forward to her having Misty again. Thank you so much 😊”
“Thank you so much Lillia & family. Milo & Ranger have been very well looked after & spoilt too by the sound of things. Thank you for all the cuddles, which makes them feel very happy & secure. Very confident in leaving them both with Lillia who was very attentive & observant with their personalities & needs. Kept us updated with messages/photos as necessary, and very quick to respond to messages. Highly recommended and, as long as Lillia can take them, would definitely rebook. Many thanks to you & your family.”
