About: I have cared for dogs for the past 32 years, and am particularly experienced in looking after anxious dogs, and dogs who require medication. We are grieving the recent loss of our 13 year old family dog, so are keen to welcome other fur babies into our loving home. I am a stay-at-home house wife, so I have plenty of time throughout the week and weekends to care for your doggos and give them the love and attention that they deserve. I have a very large and secure garden for your dogs to run around and get plenty of exercise. My home is cozy and open plan therefore I can always keep an eye on your furry friend. Having lived my whole life with pets, I understand how much your dog means to you and how daunting it can be to leave them when you go away. Therefore I will do everything I possibly can to make sure your dog is comfortable, cared for and loved until you return.

“Kim was very good with my older cats and I had peace of mind while I was away. She sent me updates, pictures and cute videos. They were well looked after and she made sure that Milo had his medicine twice a day. I will definitely be booking Kim again. Thank you Kim.”

Owners can stay informed about their pets through this app, WhatsApp, text messages, Facebook Messenger or Skype.

I maintain a personalised routine for each dog during their stay and conduct daily health checks and cleaning with the owner's approval. I pay special attention to puppies under one year old, accepting only one at a time, providing support for house training and direct access to the garden. Thank you for trusting me to care for your beloved pet. With my dedication and experience, you can be assured that your pet will receive the best possible care while you are away. I look forward to the opportunity to meet and care for your furry friend. I live only with my husband, I don't have childs or pets. I live in a beautiful house there are 4 bedrooms with a private fenced garden and access to nearby parks that facilitate the dog's proper recreation.

About: I’m a 21-year-old lifelong animal lover who has always been surrounded by pets. I’ve personally owned and cared for German Shepherds, Pomeranians, Jack Russells, French Bulldogs, and Labradors—so I’m very familiar with different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 10, and for over 5 years, I’ve helped friends, family, and neighbors by walking, feeding, bathing, and giving lots of love to their pets. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs. I’m patient, trustworthy, and treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I’m currently studying online, which gives me 100% flexibility with my schedule. I’m available 24/7 for pet care and can easily adjust my day to fit your pet’s needs—whether that’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, or overnight stays. Being home most of the time means your furry friend will get constant attention, love, and care. Pet care fits naturally into my daily life because spending time with animals is truly one of my favorite things to do. I always make sure each dog’s specific needs are met—whether that means sticking to their feeding schedule, administering medication, frequent walks and bathroom breaks. In your home, I follow your rules exactly and treat your space with respect, always prioritizing your pet’s comfort and safety at all time.

About: For the past 3 years, I've had the joy of caring for amazing animals while working as a pet sitter and dog walker at LFKK in South Africa. Building trust is my top priority, ensuring both pets and their owners feel comfortable and relaxed. This includes keeping entrusted homes sparkling clean. I've consistently received positive feedback, thanks to the exceptional care I provide for a variety of furry friends. One example that highlights this is a long-term dog walking client I cared for over 2 years. We built a wonderful connection, and I ensured their pups received not only exercise but also plenty of love and playful adventures. My passion for animals stems from growing up with dogs my whole life. Recently, I adopted a wonderful cat who has opened my eyes to the unique world of feline friends. These experiences have given me a deeper understanding of animal behavior and the importance of creating a safe, comfortable, and enriching environment for all our furry companions. As I've recently moved to the UK, I'm currently seeking new opportunities. This allows me to offer my services as a pet sitter and dog walker. I have experience caring for animals and ensuring their well-being, and I'm passionate about keeping them healthy and happy. Currently, I can provide exceptional in-home pet care. Due to living arrangements, bringing pets into my temporary residence wouldn't be ideal. This also ensures a comfortable environment for both my existing cat and your furry friend. I'm a highly dependable individual who prioritizes maintaining a clean and comfortable environment. You can be confident your home will be left exactly as you found it.

About: I have had my own dog (who has now sadly passed away) which has Degenerative myelopathy (DM) so I have had experience with dogs with disabilities. I now have a indoor/outdoor cat (not living in Liverpool - at home in essex) which i am always looking after at home :) I am a student at University of Liverpool with a low demand degree (business management) so i am often available and only unavailable during easter and summer break as I will be returning to my home city. I have fenced garden with nice open rooms for your pet to roam while I can keep an eye on them. I live with 6 other university students who are all huge pet lovers and owners (including a veterinarian student). I will take your pet outside for frequent toilet breaks and a walk while giving them lots of cuddles and love too!

About: Growing up in Italy, dogs were an integral part of my life. With two German Shepherds by my side, I learned the joy and loyalty these furry companions bring. At 13, we welcomed a mixed-breed pup from a shelter, who became family for a remarkable 17 years, teaching me compassion and responsibility. Twelve years ago, I moved to the UK, but my love for dogs never waned. I often found myself dog-sitting for friends, cherishing every moment spent with these amazing creatures. Two years back, I made another trip to Italy, this time to rescue a dog from a shelter. Now, this furry friend brings happiness not only to my life but also to my parents'. My motivation to be a pet sitter comes from a genuine passion for dogs and a desire to give them the love and care they deserve. With a lifetime of experience and a heart full of affection for these furry pals, I'm committed to ensuring their well-being and happiness while their owners are away. Being a pet sitter isn't just a job; it's a way of life fueled by my lifelong bond with dogs. I work from home most of the time, allowing me to provide attentive care for your dog throughout the day. I am available from 7 AM and can feed and walk your dog before starting my work. During my lunch break, I take them out for a short walk, and after 5 PM, I give them a longer walk. I can also provide dinner if needed. Your dog's well-being and happiness are my top priorities. I have a medium-sized, fenced garden that is completely safe for dogs of all sizes, including small breeds. I do not use pesticides in my garden and ensure that there are no hazardous materials or items either outside or inside the house. Your dog's safety and well-being are my top priorities, and I take every measure to provide a secure environment for them.

“Great experience! Sze Ling was super patient and nice with Bruno given that he could be a bit timid. My flight was cancelled so it was really short notice when I needed Sze Ling’s help in extending the services but she’s amazing and very accommodating ☺️ super happy!!”

They are both rescues, and power breeds, which some people find difficult, he handled everything with ease. We would recommend him to everyone, for all kinds of animals. He is patient and gentle with the animals. He is for sure an 11 out of 10”

Manuela takes the time to actually *be* with our little guests: playtime, going for walks, she relates and talks to them, and I can see how the dogs seem to easily establish a nice connection with her. She is experienced in what she does and has a caring but secure approach, that makes our furry guests feel at ease when they spend time here... And their humans too!”
