“Sidonie is a great dog walker! She has walked my German Shepard Cleo many times and has been incredible every time! She can handle any dog ranging from smaller dogs like daschunds and pugs to German shepherds or spaniels. Would highly recommend sidonie as your dog walker. She truly loves dogs and takes amazing care of them. All dogs feel very content when walking with her and listen as she takes great control of the walk.”

About: Dogs have always had a special place in my heart. Right now, I’m lucky to share my life with two amazing dogs—Nala, who’s with me from a past relationship, and Betty, who’s with my new partner and her mum. They both bring so much joy and love into my life. We still all share them, so they’re with me sometimes, and other times they’re at their other homes. I love the moments we get to hang out, whether it’s walking in the woods, soaking up nature, or just chilling on weekends with their happy energy and wagging tails. They remind me daily how lucky I am to have such loyal companions around. I work from home with a pretty flexible schedule, so I’m around a lot of the time. My girlfriend is a nanny, so she’s usually home by the afternoon. Between the two of us, there’s always someone here to hang out with the dogs and keep things chill. It works out great, especially since we can both give them attention whenever they need it. When I care for pets, whether it’s in their home or mine, it really depends on the dog’s personality and needs. Some dogs might need a bit more quiet time, while others are all about play and adventure. Either way, my focus is always on making sure they’re happy and comfortable. I give them the attention they need—whether it’s playtime, walks, or just cuddles. It’s all about making sure they’re having fun and feeling cared for, no matter where they are.


7. Zoe C.
“Zoe pet sat with my cat Jackson and safe to say he loved it! Glad to know my cat was left with somebody trust worthy and provided a lot of enrichment for him. I also asked that Zoe do his flea treatment and maintain his fur by brushing it. Zoe went above and beyond with her service, Could not recommened her enough, very happy with the service provided.”


8. Estefania V.
“Estefania has been an absolute blessing! Google (my dog) loves Estefania and does a happy dance upon her arrival. She is prompt, reliable, and trustworthy and we can't rate her highly enough. We'd definitely recommend her!”

11. Gemma B.
About: I was brought up and still live on an active farm. I have my own working sheep dog and have cared for a range of animals. A big plus side to living on a farm is that i have been able to spend lots of time around the dogs and farm animals throughout my life (about 15 years experience). In the past I have had a dog with medical requirements and regular medication so am comfortable in this area. I am currently a student at university and play semi-professional rugby. I am very active, so sitting still is hard for me and walking dogs is a way to release this energy. I am happy to work around/with timings. Timings of day may change dependant on training and University work but I am more than happy to get a routine time sorted. I have a small garden at my student house but would mainly be taking the dog for walks in external areas to keep them stimulated. I would also be keen to be able to take your dog along to rugby matches (dog friendly) but open to arrangements. My house mate currently has a small dog in our house at the moment (5month old) but she is friendly.


12. Eva J.
About: Dogs have always been a part of my life. There has never been a point where I’ve been without a companion. I’ve handled all ages from puppies to seniors and also many breeds from labradors to French bulldogs! I am a 3rd year student who has just graduated from Trent with too much spare time on her hands. I am completely flexible and also have a car so can drive anywhere that’s needed! I also run this account with my mum as she is as much of a dog lover as me. So any dates I can’t do, she’s ready to snatch them up! I have 2 acres of land for dogs to run freely and have all the space their hearts desire! My land is all fenced to keep them safe. I also live with my family so any dog that I take care of will have extra love!


13. Trudi P.
About: I've grown up with dogs then had dogs of my own including 3 rescues ranging from boxers to Jack Russell's. I can do puppies also I will be at home so I will look after your dogs like my own. Home stays available any time weekdays or weekends whatever suits I have a secure garden with grass, also I've got a crate if needed. I will be with them the majority of time keeping safe


14. Nirantara M.
About: I have grown up around animals - dogs, cats and horses! I have 3 dogs of my own and bred a litter of 9 from one of them. I volunteered at an animal shelter in India for 5 years before moving to the UK and fostered several dogs and puppies in my home ranging from Pomeranians to Dobermans! I have taken care of several family members' dogs by taking them on walks and pet sitting! I love being outdoors and will every walk with your dog enjoyable for them! I hope to get my own dog in England sometime this year and will be happy to include him in walks if preferred. I work part time and am a university student with a very light schedule so I will have lots of time to make your pups feel like the centre of attention! My own home has a fenced in yard with space for dogs to run around and play. I will happily follow any instructions provided by the owner to best take care of their dog




15. Joanne R.
“Jo has always shown a real connection with our dogs, she has three of her own and is confident with ours one of which has issues with other dogs. I would recommend Jo to anyone, she is of a genteel nature and has a natural talent with animals, and a great personality and polite.”


16. Holly P.

“Holly was great with our bunnies and their medication. She went the extra mile and spent time playing with them which makes the world of difference when we are not around.”


17. Ginoveva I.
“Ginoveva watched my dog (Bentley) for a week while I was out of town, and has been over to walk my dogs multiple times. When I was away she sent me updates daily on my pup who looked happier than even when I was there! I came back and picked him up and he was bouncing around wagging his tail and clearly had the best time of his life with her. When she walked the dog I knew that she was good because as soon as her car pulled up after a couple walks Bentley recognized her car and would start wagging his tail and begging to run out to see her. He loves having her show up, and knows that he is about to have a great time. I would recommend Ginoveva for any pup, for wither walks or extended stays!”


18. Sophia T.
“I have been using Sophia for the past 2 years, everytime I drop off my dog he bounces over to sophia as if they have known each other his whole life. I've got 0 complaints everytime I collect he is clean and you can tell he is well looked after. I highly recommend Sophia she is lovely and has a huge love for dogs.”


19. Ophelia R.
“Ophelia has always loved animals. She loves dogs and is always happy to play with them. She has been involved with looking after and caring for animals for over a decade and is very responsible. She has looked after my dog for years and always takes him to his favourite spots.”
