Throughout my stay I got daily updates and pictures and felt constantly reassured he was happy whilst I was enjoying my holiday. I would book them again without a doubt and highly recommend them!”

This reassurance allowed me and my family to relax and enjoy our trip abroad. I highly recommend Tanirika if you ever need someone to look after your dog.”

“Wonderful experience with Mylinh who got along famously with Ezra, immediately putting him at ease and making him feel at home. We were thrilled with how well she got to know Ezra and look after his needs and we received many detailed updates (including pictures) which really put our minds at ease. Will definitely look to use Mylinh again and would fully recommend.”
“Absolutely 5 star, she gave such a good care to my dog! Easy to communicate to her and clearly love looking after animals. 😊 Highly recommend and definitely will book with her again.”
About: I have been around dogs since childhood and have had a Border collie from a pup up to senior years. I have looked after my Daughters Hungarian Vizsla since he was a puppy and he is now 3 years old, I still have him a couple of days/nights a week since she has moved house. I am very confident with high energy dogs( you don't get much more energetic than a Collie and a Vizsla!😄. I love dogs of all breeds and ages (although I do have a soft spot for the oldies) and prefer their company to humans as I'm sure most dog owners do🥰. I have taken early retirement from a busy office job and love spending my mornings going for a walk at the local parks and woodland which I am very lucky to have close by. I have a good size garden for playtime and dogs are welcome for a snuggle on the sofa with a cosy blanket. I'm no longer working so will have plenty of free time with your pups for walks, play and cuddles. I am flexible throughout the week and weekends for boarding when available. I have a fenced in garden and am around all day if your dog is anxious and needs company. Also have a bouncy 3 year old Viszla to hand for playtime if they are happy to do so.I have a large crate available if this is what your dog is more comfortable using for sleeping and chill time.
“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!”
“Elizabeth looked after my French bulldog Lily for four days and was amazing. I found her last minute, and she made me feel at ease straight away that Lily would be in good hands. She sent regular updates, took Lily on walks, and made sure she had plenty of fresh air in the garden. It was clear Lily was very well cared for. Thank you so much, Elizabeth!”
“Wow! What’s a wonderful, kind and generous person. We are so lucky to have found you. Alfie has been looked after so well I think he is sad to have come home. I’m sure he will drag me to your house the next time we go for a walk. The photos and little messages are so reassuring. We would definitely recommend you to any potential doggy parents. Absolutely perfect 🤩 I would give more stars if I could! XX”

“Thank you, Natalia. You looked after our cat, Suki, very well, and we know she really enjoyed your company and cuddles. I appreciated the pictures and videos of her whilst I was away, thank you X”
“Julia was wonderful with Ginger! She took the time to visit beforehand to get to know us and understand Ginger’s routine. She was also very flexible and available at short notice. I came home to a very happy cat, and I’ll definitely be using her services again soon.”
“Sherry looked after my cat for a week while I was on holiday. Jessie is nearly 18 and has not been left for over 10 years so I was a bit anxious about leaving her. Sherry was so reassuring and I felt she could be trusted to take care of Jessie, I could tell she was an animal lover. I received daily updates which was lovely and eased my worry enabling me to enjoy my holiday. Jessie had a few accidents in the house but Sherry cleared up all the mess. She also gave an additional update at the end of the week and left a diagram of where Jessie had her accidents. I would not hesitate to use Sherry again and highly reccomend her.”
“Another amazing cat sitting experience from Mathilde- loved the daily updates, and Tink is clearly a huge fan of Mathilde’s care, chin scratches and string playing skills! If I could give more stars I would!”
“Tilly provided great care while looking after my cat for few days, as a last-minute request. This was my 1st time booking Tilly but felt at ease leaving my cat, Poupette, in her hands. Her background as a veterinary nurse was especially reassuring, as Poupette had recently experienced some health issues. I would highly recommend Tilly for any pet care needs and I'm already in the process of rebooking her services.”
“Emma was great, kept me updated and sent me photos whilst I was away for the evening. Would highly recommend and will certainly ask her to take care of my boys again. Thanks so much Emma 🐾🩶”
“Louise and her partner were absolutely brilliant! It was the first time I had ever left Rodney in hands of someone I never met before. He was super happy and excited to meet them and they reassured multiple times that he was ok, went to the toilet, fed him dinner & sent pictures of him out on a walk and in the garden so I was left at ease and able to enjoy my evening out for my partners birthday. Thank you both xx”
“Thank you Hannah you were great! Reliable, friendly and brilliant with Thomas, my affection and hungry cat! Would definitely recommend you to others and use your services again.”
“Mel continue to be a reliable sitter for us - we always use her for drop-in visits for our cat while we are away on holiday, and she always visits on time and makes sure that Kona is well looked-after. Thanks Mel!”
About: I have been a devoted cat owner for over 6 years. My own cat is my family—she has even moved across borders with me, so I understand deeply how important it is to ensure their comfort and safety during any change. I have experience caring for friends' cats and, above all, a lifetime of understanding feline behavior. I will provide your cat with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own, along with daily updates so you can travel with peace of mind
About: I have lived in Welwyn Garden City for 5 years now and absolutely love it here. I grew up in North West London with a dog (Sammy) and a cat (Eliza) which was magical. They became best of friends which was lovely to see. I previously had my own dog boarding business part time however I now have a dog and a baby so I'm too busy to continue this. I have missed being in the presence of cats however I do look after friends when they go away on holiday so I can still get my cat fix!
About: I have taken care of dogs since very young. Starting with a family dog, a border collie, who we were lucky enough to have from a pup to 14! To now, I have a 3 year old vizlsa who I have had since 9weeks.. I have trained him since he was a tiny puppy and now have my very own Velcro dog! However if your fur baby prefers to be the only pet, I have my parents living local that love to take care of my Barney. I also look after friends dogs when they are away, these range in size and age from a 8 year old kelpie to a 2 year old cocker poo. I love dogs of all shapes and sizes, and will welcome them into my home like they are my own 🐶 I currently work as a serving firefighter, my shift pattern allows me a lot of time off. However each week is not the same for me, I work an 8 day rotation so each week is slightly different. Please feel free to message me with queries. I have a small securely fenced garden. I also have 3 different walks on my doorstep, some of which are very quiet! I also have a large crate/ bed that can be used if you wish.
About: If you’re looking for someone that puts quality care and respect at the forefront of the service they provide, for the cat, the owner and the property, you’re in luck! I am insured for peace of mind to everyone involved. Service details listed further down in my profile :) A bit about me: I have always been an animal lover, but cats are just unmatched! I get absolutely overjoyed getting to meet my friends’ cats so you can imagine how ecstatic I was when, after years of convincing, I finally got my own at the age of 15. My tuxedo, Kiko ❤️ I didn’t let anyone help me while he was a kitten, I wanted to take that responsibility myself and we developed such a special bond (I was clearly his favourite). I would even put a present under the tree for him on Christmas and celebrated every birthday of his with a mini cat-safe makeshift cake. He was only with us for 5 years due to developing terminal kidney problems, but he will always have a special place in my heart. I am so grateful to have had to opportunity to care for and spoil him, and I would love to do that for cats who really need it while their owners are away. You can trust me to treat your cat with the same care as I would my own (including knowing when they just want to be left alone😂).

“Simba had a lovely time with Mylinh. He went out for a couple of walks and Mylinh kept me updated throughout with lots of pictures. I have already rebooked her again in August.”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Amazing Dog Sitter! Sebastian was incredible with our dog, Bailey! From the very first meet & Greet, it was clear how caring and attentive he is with her. He took the time to learn about Baileys routine, preferences, and weird quirks, and kept me updated with stunning photos and messages throughout the day. I would fetch a very happy and tired pup at the end of day — it’s obvious Sebastian treated Bailey like his own. It definitely gave me such peace of mind knowing our furry family member was in such capable, loving hands. And a massive shout out to Bao! Baileys new friend 😊 Bao welcomed Bailey with open paws into her home. Bailey has been having such a blast ! Highly recommend Sebastian and Bao 😊 Dream Team!”
“Heidi and Phil were very approachable. My dog Pippa was well looked after. She was taken for nice long walks and came home tired and happy. I hope this is the start of a long relationship.”
About: I may not have professional experience as a sitter, but I’ve spent over 15 years caring for my own pets, rescue animals, and pets of friends and family.

Since I’m usually at home, I can provide regular attention, playtime, walks, and a calm presence—perfect for pets who need company or a consistent routine. Pet care is already a natural part of my daily life, so it fits in easily with everything I do. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. At my home, we have a fully fenced, spacious garden for safe outdoor time, as well as plenty of cozy cat and dog beds, toys, and quiet spots for rest. I use GPS trackers during walks for added peace of mind, and I have a cat door for easy, secure access in and out. I’m also happy to share updates and photos, and I can use a pet camera if requested. Whether your pet stays with me or I visit your home, you can trust they’ll be cared for with love, attention, and a calm, safe environment.

About: Caring House Sitter with a Heart for Animals | Welwyn GC · Hatfield · St Albans, Hertford, Hatfield With three years of experience as a devoted pet caregiver, I genuinely understand the importance of providing loving and respectful care for your furry family members. My approach emphasises creating healthy boundaries while ensuring plenty of fun and companionship. I deeply respect not only your space but also the unique personalities of dogs and cats, treating them with the kindness they deserve. As a true animal lover, I'm committed to ensuring that every pet feels safe, happy, and cherished in my care. Mon–Fri: 7–9am · 12–2pm · 5–8pm (walks & drop-ins) Weekends: Flexible daytimes + overnight house sitting Cats: AM/PM routine is ideal (feed, litter, meds, quiet company) Dogs: Solo walks matched to age/energy; enrichment on rainy days I keep my calendar up to date and respond promptly; all bookings include photo updates. How I care for pets (and your home) Your pet’s routine is my script. I follow your instructions exactly, feeding, meds, walk times, play, and quiet time, so cats and dogs feel safe and settled while you’re away. I’m gentle, tidy, and keep communication clear with notes and photo updates every visit. In your home (house sitting & drop-ins) Security first: I double-check doors, gates, windows and keep leads by the door. No visitors, no parties—ever. I respect your privacy and only use agreed areas. Calm, consistent routine: I match your pet’s normal schedule and preferred style (shy cats get quiet company; playful pets get enrichment). Hygiene: Fresh water every visit, bowls washed, surfaces wiped. Litter scooped/reset each visit; waste disposed of properly. Medication: Comfortable with oral/topical meds when clearly explained; I log each dose in your Rover thread. Home care: Lights/blinds as instructed, plants/bins/mail handled, everything left clean and secure. Dog walks (solo only) Lead policy: I use a secure harness/collar you provide and a fixed lead. No off-lead unless you’ve given written OK and the area is safe and enclosed. Safe routes: I avoid hazards, busy roads at rush times, and stressful dog clusters; I adjust for heat, cold, or rain and bring water on longer walks. Accountability: You’ll receive Rover Cards with timing, route, and a short summary. Cat care specifics Doors and windows stay closed; I check common hide spots so indoor cats don’t slip out. I refresh water, litter, and feeding stations, then match their vibe—quiet company, play, or brushing if allowed. Multi-cat homes are fed separately as needed. Emergencies & consent I keep your vet and emergency contact details on hand. If anything seems off, I contact you immediately, follow your instructions, and, if urgent, seek vet care while keeping you updated. Trust & communication I reply quickly, keep my calendar accurate, and send clear updates (photos + what we did). My goal is simple: a safe, calm environment where your pet’s day feels normal—and you feel fully informed.

When I picked him up he was happy and had bonded with Sarah which is great to see. Thanks Sarah for a great day and we’ve already booked for a future service.”
“Ziggy and Bella had the best time spending the day with Tanirika and her flatmates. They seemed to settle really well and seemed very happy.

“Our dog Aika had a wonderful time with Lisa and her family (including her dog) Lisa was very good with communication and updating us with photos throughout the day. I would recommend Lisa to any paw parents :-)”

“I highly recommend Gigi!👍🏻 Due to an unexpected family emergency, I needed a pet sitter for my dog, on very short notice. I was so grateful to find Gigi.

About: I have always grown up surrounded by animals and couldn’t not imagine a household without, they are what make a house complete! Cats and duds have always been apart of my life so where i can help others with there’s i’m more than happy to. I currently work from home monday to friday 9-6 so i am in most the time so i am available to tend to your animal as much as they need. on weekends i am around most the time as i do like to spend these relaxing so only the odd occasion would the animal be at home but not for long. When caring for a cat, whether in my home or the owner's, it's important to maintain their usual routine to help reduce stress. This includes feeding them at their regular times, refreshing their water daily, and cleaning the litter box at least once a day. Cats also need social interaction, so spending time playing, petting, or simply sitting with them can help keep them happy and engaged which is exactly what i offer. If the cat requires medication or has special needs, administering care as instructed by the owner is essential and i am happy to follow this. Over time i have also learnt it’s important to respect their space by keeping things clean and secure. If the cat is staying in my hime, I provide a quiet, safe area with familiar items like their bed, toys, or a scratching post to help them feel comfortable.
About: I love all animals, but most of my experience is with cats. That being said, I’ve cared for many dogs in the past, as well as other small animals such as hamsters. I do my best to match the energy I get from the animals. If they are shy and quiet, I won’t push them to the point of discomfort. Equally if they are playful and cuddly, they will get as much cuddles and playtime as they need! I am currently on maternity leave with my 3 month old baby, and we go on walks multiple times a day, so would be great to take a pet with us! If not a walk, I have plenty of time each day to feed pets/provide company! My approach is to match the energy the pet gives me; I won’t push a pet out of their comfort zone, and will respect their wishes as much as possible.
“Pheonix is a great dog walker, it’s the first time I’ve ever needed a walker for my dog Ed and I’m so happy a chose Pheonix. Ed was happy to see her and go out for walks with her. I loved getting the updates after each walk. I would definitely recommend Pheonix.”

“Catherine treated our Lenny like one of the family while we were away for a week, it was clear he really liked her and also that she liked him. He came home so calm and happy, we worried he’d want to stay with her, poppy, and her girls. We will definitely be using again.”
“Absolutely wonderful care. Karen and her family are so kind and Teddy loves every moment of his stays with them. We all love receiving the reassuring messages and photographs which Karen sends throughout the stay.”
“Our dog Chai had a wonderful time with Tanirika. He stayed over for 5 days and was well looked after. Tanirika gave us regular updates throughout his stay and we could see he was thoroughly enjoying himself and was in great hands. This reassurance allowed me and my family to relax and enjoy our trip abroad. I highly recommend Tanirika if you ever need someone to look after your dog.”
“Sebastian was amazing with Nala! She stayed overnight and really enjoyed herself with his dog Bao, they have become best friends 🥰 They played for hours and Nala had great fun! Sebastian was very reliable and kept me updated with photos and regular updates of how Nala is doing and what she’s been doing. I was able to relax knowing she is safe and happy. I also met Candice his wife who is lovely and you can see they both love dogs very much. Thank you both so much and Nala will definitely be staying with you again soon! 💗🙏🏼”
“Wonderful experience with Mylinh who got along famously with Ezra, immediately putting him at ease and making him feel at home. We were thrilled with how well she got to know Ezra and look after his needs and we received many detailed updates (including pictures) which really put our minds at ease. Will definitely look to use Mylinh again and would fully recommend.”
“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!”
“Elizabeth looked after my French bulldog Lily for four days and was amazing. I found her last minute, and she made me feel at ease straight away that Lily would be in good hands. She sent regular updates, took Lily on walks, and made sure she had plenty of fresh air in the garden. It was clear Lily was very well cared for. Thank you so much, Elizabeth!”
About: I may not have professional experience as a sitter, but I’ve spent over 15 years caring for my own pets, rescue animals, and pets of friends and family. All of my animals have been rescues—found, saved, and given loving homes. I currently live with two cats, one stray who visits daily, and my sweet 8-year-old dog. I have a deep compassion for animals and a calm, gentle approach that helps pets feel safe and cared for. I understand their body language, respect their space, and treat each one as if they were my own. I work from home and run my own small business, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for pets throughout the day. Since I’m usually at home, I can provide regular attention, playtime, walks, and a calm presence—perfect for pets who need company or a consistent routine. Pet care is already a natural part of my daily life, so it fits in easily with everything I do. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. At my home, we have a fully fenced, spacious garden for safe outdoor time, as well as plenty of cozy cat and dog beds, toys, and quiet spots for rest. I use GPS trackers during walks for added peace of mind, and I have a cat door for easy, secure access in and out. I’m also happy to share updates and photos, and I can use a pet camera if requested. Whether your pet stays with me or I visit your home, you can trust they’ll be cared for with love, attention, and a calm, safe environment.
“We had a great experience with Nick and Jia. We really appreciated meeting you guys beforehand to understand where Coco would be staying and the messages of reassurance and photos of Coco during his stay. Thank you both very much for taking such good care of him. I would definitely recommend to others.”
“Another lovely stay for Tiffy with Gabriella. Lots of fun walks, plenty of ball play and even a trip to the zoo where she saw animals beyond her imagination for the first time. Thanks again Gabriella.”
“Sarah took great care of our springer spaniel Bruno while we were away for a week - he was really happy and at ease with her straight away and had a great time while we were away, we came home to a very happy dog! Sarah was great at providing updates and photos so we knew how we he was getting on, she took his energetic and loving nature in her stride and he was treated like one of the family. I’m so grateful to her as we had to find someone to look after him at short notice and she responded immediately, and I’m so glad we found her - would definitely recommend and we’ll be reaching out to her again next time we need someone to look after Bruno!”

“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 :)”
“Beata was very responsive and sincere. She requested a Meet & Greet to see Cooper dilute to his size. After the quick meet and greet she agreed to take care of him in short notice. Very proactive to send pictures and timely updates. Will surely looking to use her services again. Thank you 🙏”
“Ethan and Lauren have cared for our dog, Pinky, multiple times (daytime and overnight). They are so generous, lovely, and caring. We were worried about leaving Pinky overnight for the first time but he pulled us to get in to see Ethan and Lauren which made his feelings clear! We are very pleased to have found them (as is Pinky).”
“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.”
“We left our nervous rescue dog with Andrea for a week to attend our son's wedding abroad as we knew that he would find a kennel environment distressing. We had been able to meet and greet before we left and it was clear that Andrea had a lovely calm manner with Django, giving him the time to relax with her. We dropped him off the evening before we left, feeling confident that he would be in good hands. We were kept updated with photos and video clips of Django whilst we were away from which we could see that he was happy, relaxed and well cared for and when we picked him up on our return, his greetings and attentions were shared equally between us all, including Andrea!! It is clear that Andrea is kind and reliable and has a genuine love of dogs. We would not hesitate to leave Django with her again (we are already discussing our next trip!) and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter. Thank you, Andrea for taking such wonderful care of Django. Until next time!”
About: I have taken care of dogs since very young. Starting with a family dog, a border collie, who we were lucky enough to have from a pup to 14! To now, I have a 3 year old vizlsa who I have had since 9weeks.. I have trained him since he was a tiny puppy and now have my very own Velcro dog! However if your fur baby prefers to be the only pet, I have my parents living local that love to take care of my Barney. I also look after friends dogs when they are away, these range in size and age from a 8 year old kelpie to a 2 year old cocker poo. I love dogs of all shapes and sizes, and will welcome them into my home like they are my own 🐶 I currently work as a serving firefighter, my shift pattern allows me a lot of time off. However each week is not the same for me, I work an 8 day rotation so each week is slightly different. Please feel free to message me with queries. I have a small securely fenced garden. I also have 3 different walks on my doorstep, some of which are very quiet! I also have a large crate/ bed that can be used if you wish.
