About: I volunteered for a year in a dog kennel and cattery looking after different breeds and ages. I catered my care depending on their needs, health conditions and temperaments. I’ve grown up with dogs big and small, from Japanese Chins and to an Alsatian. I’ve looked after a young pup of 10 months to wonderful Staffies who’ve lived to 16! I know every dog is different and special. I work from home Mondays and Fridays and am available most weekends. My work schedule on work from home days are flexible around a couple of meetings. I will follow your instructions and requests around your beloved pets. Safety and security is of the utmost importance and I will provide pupdates so you can feel reassured of their happiness and safety.

About: I've had my own cats and looked after friends and families cats for 20 years. I love looking after cats and giving them the care, time and attention they really need when their owners are away. I work term time so have plenty of availability during the school holidays as well as evenings and weekends! I'm currently free from 4pm on weekdays, all weekends and most of the school holidays. I can visit more than once on the weekends and holidays. Contact me for more details of how I can best take care of your cat while you're away. I care for other people's cats the way that I care for my own. Taking the time to build up trust between myself and your cat is my priority, helping them feel safe as well as fed, watered, clean and happy.

About: With over five years of experience caring for family and friends pets, I bring a wealth of hands-on knowledge and a genuine love for animals to every sitting job. I'm comfortable with a variety of pets and their unique needs. I’m currently working part-time, so I have lots of time and flexibility to be taking care of your wonderful animals. I can be available on weekends, and weekdays. I have a lovely fenced garden and toys to keep your pups occupied, I also drive meaning I can take your pup out for long enjoyable walks :)

About: I have been looking after dogs for a few years now, for friends and family and through borrow my doggy. I have been doing borrow my doggy for a few years, walking and looking after dogs but now I'm looking to do more of this, expand my services and make more little doggy friends - or cats if needed ☺️ Sadly I do have a 9-5 job but I am always free at lunchtimes for walks or to I do work a 9-5 but work from home 4 days a week, I am happy to do morning, lunch or evening walks or you can have your little pal hang out with me all day at home for some company and cuddles between work calls I have a medium sized garden that is fenced off all the way round, I don't have children or any other pets too so your doggy can have full room to roam, chill or play

About: For the past two years, I have lived in two different households with dogs. I cared for a 14-year-old female Husky and currently take care of a 2-year-old male Dalmatian. This experience has given me a broad understanding of different dog ages and genders. Although I wasn't paid by my landlords to take care of their pets, they saw how caring and attentive I am with dogs. As a lifelong dog lover, they trusted me to look after their pets, often leaving them in my care for days at a time. I currently work a full-time remote job from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM on weekdays. However, I am quite flexible with my breaks and can easily attend to your pet’s needs, whether it’s checking in, playing, feeding, or walking them during boarding or pet care services. For dog walking services, I'm available to pick up your dog after 5:00 PM on weekdays. On weekends, I'm free all day for walks! When walking dogs, safety and trust are my top priorities. I always use sturdy, secure leashes and harnesses to ensure the dogs are safely under control. I stay vigilant, keeping an eye out for potential hazards like traffic, other animals, or unsafe terrain. I follow any specific instructions from the pet owners regarding their dog’s behavior and preferences, ensuring the walks are enjoyable and stress-free. I also carry essential items like water, waste bags, and a first-aid kit to handle any situation that might arise. Building trust with the dogs is crucial; I use positive reinforcement and maintain a calm, confident demeanor to make them feel secure and happy during our walks. This approach not only ensures their safety but also strengthens the bond of trust between us.

“I am so pleased I found Hannah. From the meet and greet it was so obvious that she is so passionate to look after animals. I was so relaxed through my holiday, as she informed me about my kitty everyday pictures, videos. My dear furry family member was not so welcoming but Hannahanage to break the ice and built a good “friendship” with her. I can highly recommend her.”


“Alice was excellent. Carried out the visits across the festive season exactly as agreed. Photos and updates kept us feeling happy and confident Suki, our cat, was being entertained and cared for while we were away with family. Thank you Alice.”


About: I am a fur baby mother to three wonderful pet (the names are a long story- feel free to ask) Bruce (7 year old black and white Maggie), Dog Jeff (6 year old Caviller King Charles Spaniel) and Cat Geoff (10 year old ragdoll) I have a large amount of experience around cats, having grown up with them all of my life. I have always been able to connect with cats and understand their behaviours and needs. I am learning with dogs as I go :) I have experience of cat sitting in house, looking after a 20 year old diabetic boy with arthritis so I’m used to giving insulin, feeding appropriately and giving pain medication both in oral tablet form and liquid. I can manage anxiety well in animals both behavioural and separation. I have experience of understanding different breed of cat, what they need to eat, how and when. (Especially picky eaters!) I would love to talk more about looking after your animals. To me they are family and will want for nothing in your absence :) I work on an agency as a teaching assistant so will only need a weeks notice as I take bookings daily. My own pets will be looked after by my husband, as we regularly do when I cat sit for my mother in law- so I’m quite free! Please be reassured your pets will be safe in my care, along with your home. I am DBS checked and have previously worked in care- therefore have training in health and safety. With my own animals, I ensure they all have what they need! My dog gets along with my cat and is very placid! He suffers from separation anxiety- I have a camera to keep an eye on him and have gradually been leaving him longer, with great success. My black and white moggie also has anxiety and installing a robust routine around food, play and cuddles has helped him significantly. Cat Geoff has always been an anxious and picky eater- he has specialised food in a feeder so he can graze and wet food fed to him on top of his cat tree (his choosing). When cat sitting, I listen to the instructions left for me and keep my mother in law updated with an adventure of the day photo and daily update. We have agreed a vet plan if necessary.

About: We have always had dogs in the family so grew up up taking care of our family pets which continues to do this day looking after any of the family dogs, walking them, dog sitting etc. I always try my best to keep dogs entertained, active and with plenty of company (if they want it ofcourse!) I work Monday - Friday but spend a few of these days working from home. I am always off on the weekends so am always happy to lend a hand then! I have a spacious and cozy flat with space for the dog to feel at home and have a shared garden for the building. We have plenty of great spots nearby for walks!

About: I have looked after animals all my life, have housed multiple cats, I will also be caring with my partner who is also an animal lover, shes a dog lover and I'm a cat lover. I have DBS and previously SC cleared as per my jobs requirements, so you can be rest assured your house and pet will receive the best love and attention. Afternoons and Evenings would be best. Happy to stay in homes when you're away and care for your pet. Weekends are always best but my schedule can be freed up for walks, I can house sit 7 days a week and for as long as you need. I am always attentive to my cat and the needs of other pets, sadly I recently had my cat become quite unwell quite quickly and I rushed him to the vet as I wanted him to have immediate care as keeping him healthy is very important to me.

“Paige was an instant success with our cats from the introductions onwards! She was very helpful, very knowledgeable, reliable: a really good cat conversationist and carer. Thank you very much Paige!”


About: I specialise in caring for pets with additional needs, such as: separation anxiety, reactivity, disability, or nervous disposition. I am confident administering medication and adhering to personalised instructions. I appreciate that every pet is different, and always treat them as individuals. During a sit, I will provide regular updates and photographs or videos of your pets for added reassurance. During a sit, your pet(s) will be my sole focus. I will only leave them home alone for short periods should I need to run an errand or similar. As a former Estate Manager and Nanny/Govorness, I have many years experience living and working in other people's homes. I am clean, tidy, and respectful of personal space and belongings; do not cook smelly food; and am a lifelong non-smoker. Rest assured that your beloved pets and home will be left in safe and trustworthy hands whilst you enjoy a guilt and worry-free holiday.

“Alice was very honest, responsive, helpful, reliable and Teddy and Lincoln enjoyed her taking them for walks, feeding them and giving them a fantastic Christmas, which enabled all of us to have peace of mind knowing the were both well cared for a million thanks 😊”

“Freya looked after our staffie Lenny for 3 weeks over Christmas and fell in love with him (and he fell in love with her) We have a problems with Lenny and his allergies but she followed all our instructions, like a meat only diet, allergy pills and putting cream on his little dry paws every day. I think he may have sneaked in a few days in her bed too! She gave us daily pictures and updates with what he was getting up to and how he was doing and we genuinely could see he was super settled and happy. If you're thinking of having your dog stay with Freya I would highly recommend. I would absolutely use her time and time again.”

I have never left them with anyone outside the family, particularly as one dog is 11 years old and fully blind and has always been nervous being left! Shirley was accepted by all animals straight away, so much so that whilst we were away all of them cuddled her, even the older dog who has always been aloof to begin with. My animals were cared for so well they were always excited to see her. She is so empathetic and a lovely person and we are sad she has moved away but wish her all the best and would welcome her here anytime.”
