About: I’m a mum of two teens and I’ve been surrounded by animals all my life, growing up with dogs, cats and rabbits and now being a proud dog mum to my black Labrador, Cooper. 🖤 I regularly look after friends’ dogs when they’re away and absolutely love having them around. I’m confident and comfortable caring for both dogs and cats, and understand how important it is to know your pet is happy, safe and well cared for while you’re away. Your pets will be treated like one of our own, with plenty of love, attention and fuss! 🐾❤️ Mostly I work full time from home as director of dental urgent care for the NHS then the weekends are spent watching my two boys play football.

About: My family and I have spent our entire lives surrounded by cats and dogs, and animals have always been an essential part of our world. Moving to a new country meant leaving behind that constant daily connection with pets that we love so much. Because we miss that companionship deeply, we would be genuinely thrilled to look after your animals with the utmost warmth, responsibility, and care. Importantly, my mum has a medical background in animal care, so you can rest assured that any necessary treatments or medications will always be administered precisely and on time. We will surround your pets with love and make sure they feel completely happy and safe while you are away. My schedule flexible and my mum is also at home, your pets will never be left unattended or lonely. There is always someone around to give them love, attention, and proper care throughout the day, ensuring they feel completely looked after and secure at all times. Our home is a safe, warm, and secure environment. We have a small, fully fenced private garden where pets can safely enjoy the fresh air under close supervision. Safety is our top priority, so doors and windows are strictly managed and never left open unattended. We live with my mum, and she has a medical background in animal care. We also live with my gentle 7-year-old daughter who deeply respects animals' boundaries. Your pet will receive all the love, comfort, and precise care they need in a completely hazard-free space.
“Very fortunate to have MyLinh care for Moses again. He knows as soon as he jumps out of the car at MyLinh’S place that he’s in for a vacation of his own. He gets loads of TLC and we get regular detailed updates of what they’ve been up to for the day. Thank you again.”
“We couldn't be happier with Elizabeth's care for our dog, Charlie! Over the 5 days we were away, she was incredibly communicative and responsive. We always knew exactly how things were going, and she sent so many wonderful photos that genuinely put our minds at ease. She was gentle and kind from the very start, and her accommodating nature made the whole experience completely stress-free for us. It was clear Charlie was in loving, capable hands the entire time. Elizabeth is without a doubt a great dog sitter, and we will absolutely book with her again. We recommend her without any hesitation! 🐾♥️”

“Kathleen looked after our cat Penelope while we were away and I highly recommend her. I am a nervous cat mum and had never left her alone before so I was scared.

Perfect for a loved pet. I highly recommended this cat sitter. Thank you Kathleen!”

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
“Louise has been absolutely amazing looking after our cat Minnie whilst we have been away. She has been reliable, patient with our cat who can be very anxious, friendly and has provided regular updates. She even waited around several times when Minnie was out in case she came back so could have some company. Thanks so much Louise!”
“Heidi was amazing. Thorough updates every day, loads of pictures and lots of cuddles with our cat. We cannot recommend her enough and will certainly be using her the next time we go away.”
About: Although we don’t currently own a cat, they’ve always had a special place in my heart. We had a lovely cat when I was younger, and after she passed away, we just couldn’t bring ourselves to replace her. More recently, my sister returned from Australia with a little moggy she’d rescued and cared for while she was there, which sums up the kind of family we are. We believe every animal deserves kindness, patience and a loving home. My children have grown up respecting animals and are gentle and caring around them. My partner works from home, so any cat staying with us would have plenty of company throughout the day, as well as a calm, safe environment to relax in. I’ll always take the time to follow your cat’s usual routine, making sure they feel as comfortable, secure and loved as possible while you’re away.
“Natalia took incredible care of our 4 babies. She fed them twice daily, and played with them for an hour or so a day. They opened up to her like with no one else before. She kept us updated with regular updates and we found the place nice and clean. Huge fan, and we will be coming back! Thank you for the awesome work Natalia!”
About: Hi! I’m Bethan and I’ve lived with cats for several years and have recently been looking after cats for friends and family for the past few months. I adore cats and all kinds of animals but unfortunately live in rented accommodation which doesn’t allow pets at the moment. I work from home with flexi hours and am able to do drop in visits at a variety of times. I’m comfortable giving medication and feedings for cats of all ages.
“Lovely lady who understood my cats. She sent me lovely photos/videos of each visit and gave my cats fuss and attention. She also questioned me on anything she was uncertain of, or on anything I had not made clear. Very much appreciated.”
“Hannah is a superstar and took amazing care of my two kittens. They are normally very shy towards people other than myself and partner, but by the end of the week they both let her stroke them and play with them! Feeling so lucky to have found Hannah.”
About: I’ve always been a cat person. I have had cats all my life, and currently have two young cats who were strays and so are full of personality. All my cats have been very different- some shy, some needy, some grumpy and some that just want to play 24/7. I am able to administer medicine, can clean litter trays and give us much or as little loving as your cat needs.

“Tigger really enjoyed his time with Jennifer. Jennifer was so quick to respond to messages and kept me updated with pictures of his day! Thank you for looking after Tigger so well and he is looking forward to seeing you again next week!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!”
“Bobby had a great stay with Jane. It was his first time there but he settled in straight away! Bobby was well looked after, so much so he barely noticed me when I went to collect him, he was too busy playing with Jane's lovely mum in the garden! I wouldn't hesitate to use Jane again, she clearly loves dogs very much and Bobby came home happy and very chilled.”
“Sara took care of my puppy Luffy and she was very caring and loving for our puppy Luffy. Luffy loved going there and playing with her kids especially the little one!:) Highly recommended Sara !”
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and have always loved caring for them. Growing up, my mum always had dogs, and she still has a lovely black Labrador who I spend time with regularly. We’ve also had parrots and snakes, so I’m comfortable around different types of pets and understand that each one has their own needs and personality. My children have grown up with animals too and are kind, gentle and respectful around them. Although we don’t have a pet of our own because we enjoy travelling and wouldn’t feel it was fair to leave one behind, it means I genuinely enjoy looking after other people’s pets and giving them the love, attention and care they deserve while their owners are away. My brother works from home, so pets are rarely left alone and can enjoy plenty of company, cuddles, playtime and toilet breaks throughout the day. I’ll always treat your pet as if they were part of our own family, keeping them safe, happy and sticking to their usual routine as closely as possible. I run my own cleaning business, which gives me flexibility throughout the week, and my partner works from home full-time. This means pets staying with us would have plenty of company and wouldn’t regularly be left alone for long periods. We can provide regular toilet breaks, walks, playtime, feeding and lots of affection, while keeping to your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible to help them feel settled and secure. Your pet’s safety and happiness will always be my top priority. We have a fully enclosed, spacious garden where dogs can safely play and stretch their legs, and we’re lucky to have the beautiful Alban Way walking trail just a five-minute walk from our front door, as well as open fields directly behind our garden for lovely walks and plenty of sniffing adventures. Our children have grown up around animals and are gentle, calm and respectful with them, always understanding when pets need their own space. We’ll carefully follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, medication and any special requirements, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, loved and well cared for while you’re away.
“Benji had a great time with Sarah. From arrival he felt comfortable to stay and came back happy and tired. I very much appreciated the updates and pictures I received throughout the day which gave me comfort that he is safe and well. I hope to make Benji’s stay with Sarah regular.”

“Leanne was amazing with my dog Toffee! From the get go, Leanne was extremely warm and welcoming. We was able to form a bond with Leanne before Toffee started day care. Toffee really got along with Leanne, her partner, kids and her lovely dog Sonny. Toffee loved it there and would be happy to go back! I would 100% book with Leanne again.”
“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 currently own my own cat and also dog sit for my parents dog when they go abroad.

There is no animal too challenging for me and able to give my help to.

I would be happy to come to your home to make visits and also take dogs for walks as and when. Currently I am not able to facilitate dogs in my home due to not having a garden.

I have before children had a corn snake, a dog, my cat had 4 litters which we kept them all but now there is only 3 left which reside at my mothers. I have had birds also. I am used to animals and if they like to chill, then we leave them to chill. If they want a cuddle, then we are here to cuddle them. Some like to run so my eldest loves to run with them. Some like short or long walks. Some are on medication. Some miss there owners and others don't. Whatever the needs of your pet; I am experienced enough to be there for them and cater to there needs.

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.

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.

If required, we can separate animals to ensure everyone feels comfortable and stress-free. With our friendly dogs, your pet will feel welcome and well-cared-for at all times.
About: I’ve been walking and sitting dogs for friends and family for the past 2 years. I’m comfortable handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with them. As a personal trainer, I’m naturally active and love being outdoors, so your dog will get a proper, energetic walk. Pet care fits perfectly into my schedule as I work flexibly as a personal trainer. I’m available most days for walks and drop-ins, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I can accommodate last-minute requests and am always easy to reach if plans change. Your dog’s safety is my top priority. I keep dogs secure on lead (unless you specify otherwise), stay alert to their surroundings, and ensure they’re comfortable throughout. I’m reliable, punctual, and communicate clearly with photo updates so you have complete peace of mind. I treat every dog with care and respect as if they were my own.
About: I have grown up with dogs and cats all my life. I passed level 2 animal care with a merit and handled a variety of species within this. I worked at a dog kennells and dealt with a variety of breeds. For a short time I also worked at a dog groomers as a washer/drier. I can provide lots of walks and cuddles. I can also administer medication, flea and worm treatments. I am fully insured outside of Rover and have my own dog walking/ pet sitting business. I have added a few photos of some of the animals I have looked after or walk regularly. I have a strong passion for this line of work as I love animals and love working with them. I do some training with some of the dogs I walk, I am not qualified but I love teaching new tricks. I'm working part time currently so have plenty of free time to pop into your pet. I am also available to stay at your property if needed as I drive. I will make sure all doors are locked and the animal is safe. I will find out from the pet owner information such as are they a house cat? Is the dog allowed in the garden etc
About: I have personal experience with looking after and training my own dog and I regularly look after my friends and family dogs. All dogs are returned very happy and relaxed when they are collected from my home. I have built a positive reputation which is often spread by word of mouth, following the delivery of a reliable service. Whilst dog sitting, I offer doggy playtime, dog walking, grooming (bathing, combing and drying) and obedience training. Currently work from home, I have a good work home life balance therefore I am able to care for your dogs and give them love. I have a beautiful 3 bedroom house, a large fenced garden, a lovely lounge, kitchen for feeding and a baby gate for stairs for safety.
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.
About: We've owned and cared for friends and family pooches over the past six years, my wife works from home and we treat any of of four legged friends as if they were are own, with lots of care, affection and snuggles. With a country park literally right on our doorstep, your pooches can be assured that they can have as much or as little exercise as they want. My wife works from home and can provide regular toilet breaks, attention, affection and exercise when needed for your pooches so they can feel relaxed and welcome in this home from home. We have 2 Italian greyhound boys, aged 4 and 2. Our property has an enclosed rear garden with 6ft fences and also a gated and fenced front of house with netting to avoid those escape artists taking their chances.
About: I’ve had pets most of my life and regularly look after friends and families pets. I bought a house next to Sherrardspark woods so I could enjoy walking my dog there every day. I would love to look after your pets as if they were my own. I currently work Mon-Thurs so am usually free to dog sit Fri-Sun or I can dog walk in the evenings on my working days. My wife works from home so we can be pretty flexible if needed. I have a fenced garden with room to play and would normally walk at least twice a day. I also have experience with senior dogs who need more care (medication etc).
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and have always loved caring for them. Growing up, my mum always had dogs, and she still has a lovely black Labrador who I spend time with regularly. We’ve also had parrots and snakes, so I’m comfortable around different types of pets and understand that each one has their own needs and personality. My children have grown up with animals too and are kind, gentle and respectful around them. Although we don’t have a pet of our own because we enjoy travelling and wouldn’t feel it was fair to leave one behind, it means I genuinely enjoy looking after other people’s pets and giving them the love, attention and care they deserve while their owners are away. My brother works from home, so pets are rarely left alone and can enjoy plenty of company, cuddles, playtime and toilet breaks throughout the day. I’ll always treat your pet as if they were part of our own family, keeping them safe, happy and sticking to their usual routine as closely as possible. I run my own cleaning business, which gives me flexibility throughout the week, and my partner works from home full-time. This means pets staying with us would have plenty of company and wouldn’t regularly be left alone for long periods. We can provide regular toilet breaks, walks, playtime, feeding and lots of affection, while keeping to your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible to help them feel settled and secure. Your pet’s safety and happiness will always be my top priority. We have a fully enclosed, spacious garden where dogs can safely play and stretch their legs, and we’re lucky to have the beautiful Alban Way walking trail just a five-minute walk from our front door, as well as open fields directly behind our garden for lovely walks and plenty of sniffing adventures. Our children have grown up around animals and are gentle, calm and respectful with them, always understanding when pets need their own space. We’ll carefully follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, medication and any special requirements, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, loved and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I’m a mum of two teens and I’ve been surrounded by animals all my life, growing up with dogs, cats and rabbits and now being a proud dog mum to my black Labrador, Cooper. 🖤 I regularly look after friends’ dogs when they’re away and absolutely love having them around. I’m confident and comfortable caring for both dogs and cats, and understand how important it is to know your pet is happy, safe and well cared for while you’re away. Your pets will be treated like one of our own, with plenty of love, attention and fuss! 🐾❤️ Mostly I work full time from home as director of dental urgent care for the NHS then the weekends are spent watching my two boys play football. I have a large fenced in back garden, space to crate your dog if your preference or need, can also use stair gates for added safety, plus I have friendly Labrador for company.
“Very fortunate to have MyLinh care for Moses again. He knows as soon as he jumps out of the car at MyLinh’S place that he’s in for a vacation of his own. He gets loads of TLC and we get regular detailed updates of what they’ve been up to for the day. Thank you again.”
“We couldn't be happier with Elizabeth's care for our dog, Charlie! Over the 5 days we were away, she was incredibly communicative and responsive. We always knew exactly how things were going, and she sent so many wonderful photos that genuinely put our minds at ease. She was gentle and kind from the very start, and her accommodating nature made the whole experience completely stress-free for us. It was clear Charlie was in loving, capable hands the entire time. Elizabeth is without a doubt a great dog sitter, and we will absolutely book with her again. We recommend her without any hesitation! 🐾♥️”
“What a lovely family! Gabriella truly made Lenni feel part of the family which is just what we needed with our rescue pup. We got regular updates and brilliant photos of Lenni integrating with the family on fun walks out. We are booked back in for 2 weeks in summer and we are filled with confidence and know Lenni will be thrilled to go back. Thanks Gabrielle and brood xx”

“Francesca was fantastic with Pepper! 🐶 Pepper came home super happy and relaxed, and it was clear she had been very well looked after. Francesca kept us updated throughout the day with lots of lovely photos, which gave us real peace of mind, and she took great care to make sure Pepper was comfortable and happy. She was friendly, reliable, and clearly loves dogs. We felt completely at ease leaving Pepper with her and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to others. We’ll definitely be booking with Francesca again soon. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of our little girl!”
“Ciara was absolutely fantastic looking after my mad dog, Woody! I was honestly more worried for Ciara than for him, as he’s a bit of a character, but she handled him brilliantly. She kept me updated with loads of photos and was completely professional from start to finish. Woody clearly had a great time, and I had total peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. I’ll definitely be using Ciara again — highly recommend!”
“Megan was absolutely amazing with our little lad, Winston! Kept up to date with pictures and her communication was on point! We had a last minute booking as we had a wedding to go to and she was more than happy to accommodate. He was absolutely spoilt rotten with his walks and cuddles and we couldn’t have asked for anything more. Megan, her partner and family (special mention to them) were treating him as if he were their own, so much so I think Winston would’ve been happy to stay longer! We would be happy to have them look after him again 😊 thank you so much from us and Winston 🐶”
About: My husband and I have always been fond of any animals really, and we are also full time parents of a young Dalmatian, Cooper. We have both gone through rigorous pet training classes in order to learn how to raise our dog as a happy, well behaved, social dog. We go through various training sessions everyday, and live right next to Verulamium Park, which Cooper would be more than happy to play with a friend in. We can also accommodate any requirements you nay have, regarding food, sleeping arrangements etc. Finally, we have two cats who are more than used to dogs and can also help socialising a young dog. We will both take care of the dogs, my husband Nicolas and I to ensure everything goes smoothly and your dog had a great time with us. We currently organise ourselves so that someone is always at home. Our day is fixed around our own dog who gets two long walks a day, one first thing in the morning and one in the afternoon/evening, and plenty of attention in between. We have a fenced garden and Cooper is a very social, happy dog who will be more than happy to have a friend with him. We can also easily crate your dog if needed and can accommodate for different sleeping arrangements.
