“Mango was with Taffany (Siu Yung) for 2 days and she took excellent care of him. She took him for walks through out the day and kept us informed with regular updates with pictures and mesages. She took him out during the rain as well and blow dried him. One could only imagine if someone can be so loving and caring. Taffany and her family kept Mango super happy during his stay. Mango came back super happy after the stay. I would definitely recommend Taffany to anyone and everyone and looking forward for another stay in the future. Thank you so much for taking such a good care of Mango. Much appreciated 🙏”
“I booked a last minute boarding request with Indy for three days for my large dog. 5 stars doesn’t even cut it! My dog is a rescue and can be nervous at times, but she loved every second. Even though the request was last minute, Indy still accommodated a meet before booking anything, which went well. Layla was so very well looked after and cared for by the family, I had constant updates via text with pictures and videos, she was having the best time. I couldn’t recommend Indy enough, I’ll absolutely be rebooking when the time comes that Layla needs boarding/ dog sitting again”
“Thank you very much Kim for looking after Leo again! Very flexible and accommodating with times and days Plenty of photos and kept us updated the whole time! Highly recommend”
“We left our dog Goofy with Gabriella for 3 days and we honestly couldn’t have chosen better. She took amazing care of him, kept us updated with photos and messages, and made sure he felt comfortable and loved. It gave us real peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. We truly appreciate her care and would 100% recommend her. 🤍🐶”
“Leonor is a fantastic cat sitter! Super attentive, communicative, and genuinely caring. It was such a relief knowing my cat was in good hands. I will definitely book again 🙌”
“I felt very comfortable leaving Hetty with Diana. She also has a lovely dog so was great company for Hetty. Diana and her husband made sure that Hetty felt safe and comfortable the whole time and I had daily updates, photos and videos. Would definitely leave Hetty with Diana again.”
About: Animals have always been part of our everyday life. We grew up with cats and dogs and recently said goodbye to our much-loved 20-year-old cat. Since moving to the UK, we have a very real pet-shaped gap in our lives and would love to shower another furry friend with care while we settle in. We’re happy with pets of all breeds and ages. I’m home four days a week and my partner is home in the later afternoons, so there’s plenty of time for company, cuddles, and attention. Lunchtime walks are already part of our routine, and we’re lucky to live near lots of dog-friendly parks. I have a hybrid work schedule and am available for walks on my work-from-home days (morning, lunchtime, or late afternoon), as well as weekend pet sitting. I’m especially happy to support pets who enjoy consistent, every-other-day walks. I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of walks, attention, and care. If overnight stays are needed, I don’t have any pets of my own, so your pet will always be my main focus. I’m also happy to pet sit or house sit in your home, where your pet is most comfortable.
About: We have both had small and medium sized dogs growing up, including both senior and puppies needing training. We absolutely love looking after our friends dogs. Since we work full-time, we don't have a dog of our own yet—which means when we’re with your pet, they get 100% of our undivided attention, energy, and affection. We both work full-time, so will always make sure our available time is when we are home, giving your pet 100% of our attention when required. We have a fenced 90ft garden so lots of space to run and play fetch. We don't have any pets in our home so if your animal is a little nervous with other animals that's nothing to worry about.
“Elisa looked after my dog so well that my dog didn't even want to come home with me. I was so relaxed while I was away knowing Elisa looks after my dog and she sent photos daily to keep me updated.”
About: I’ve been around dogs since I was 10 years old and caring for them has always been a big part of my life. I previously had a Chihuahua who sadly passed away two years ago, and I now have a 4-year-old Maltipoo who is loving, playful and very sociable with other dogs. I fully trained her from a puppy myself, which gave me hands-on experience with potty training, basic commands, and building good routines. I’ve also dog sat multiple times in the past, including overnight stays, and I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and giving lots of attention and affection. I work from home, which allows me to be very flexible and attentive to your dog’s needs throughout the day. I’m available for boarding, daycare, and overnight stays. Because I’m home daily, I can provide regular walks, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship. Your dog won’t be left alone for long periods and will receive plenty of attention, care, and supervision. I can easily adjust my routine to suit your dogs schedule Your dog’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I have a really big secure garden where dogs can safely run around and play, as well as a park just a two-minute walk from my home for regular walks and exercise. My 4-year-old Maltipoo is friendly and well-socialised, making her a great companion for visiting dogs. I always introduce dogs slowly and supervise playtime closely. I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual routine and can crate if needed. Because I work from home, your dog will always be well supervised and cared for in a loving, calm environment. My goal is for your dog to feel completely at home here - safe, happy and loved.
“Maria and her husband did an amazing job looking after Molly. Molly was made to feel at home and got multiple walks. Updates very plentiful throughout the day and I would highly recommend Maria for pet sitting!”
“Our Shih tzu Willow settled in very nicely with sisters Nicola and Kerry and their mum. I was sent messages and photos throughout the whole weekend which was so reassuring. They really looked after Willow, took her for long walks over the park and gave her plenty of cuddles. They also have a very large garden for Willow to run around in. I would definitely recommend this family to pet-sit your dog 🐶”
“Sayo recently took care of my dog, Roux, and I couldn't be happier. His love for animals and professionalism stood out. He followed Roux's routine, provided updates, and sent adorable photos and videos, putting my mind at ease. She was so excited to have another doggo to play with as well, Cassie is the sweetest and so so patient. Sayo was communicative, and accommodating especially with my being late for pick-up. Roux adores him and Cassie. I returned to a happy and well-cared-for pup. I highly recommend Sayo as a fantastic dog sitter. Thank you, Sayo, for taking such great care of Roux!!!!!”
“Alix was amazing with Coco. She took the time and effort before the day to find out more about Coco. On the day she regularly sent us photos and videos of Coco to put our minds at rest. When we collected Coco she was happy and exhausted ready for bed. Would definitely leave Coco with Alix again.”
“Maria had a lovely time with Crumpet and came back super happy! Maria sent us lots of updates and photos which was great and was really quick to respond to us. We will book again!”
“This was our third time with David, and we continue to feel completely comfortable and at ease leaving our dog with him. David is caring and reliable, and our dog clearly enjoys her stay. Thank you again!”

“Naomi took fantastic care of my 2 cats. She kept me updated of how they were and I loved the little photos she sent. I felt reassured and the cats were happy when I came home. 100% recommend :)”
About: I've been around cats for as long as I can remember and have experience taking care of three cats of my neighbours since I was 16, I'm now 20 and have two fur babies who I have the privilege of taking care of myself and calling my own (one boy who's a menace and one girl who's the sweetest muffin ever). I take pride in making sure my cats are well looked after by: Brushing their teeth, cleaning their litter boxes daily, staying on top of their health via taking them to the vets, administering oral and topical medications (such as flea/tapeworm medication), keeping their pretty faces clean using pet safe wipes, grooming them by brushing often, applying moisturising ointment to their toe beans and paw pads to make sure they are healthy and doing my best to feed them the best food available with the highest meat content whilst also giving them supplements like salmon oil and PlaqueOff powder to help keep their coats shiny and their gums healthy. I am going into my third year of my Masters in Pharmacy at King's but taking care of cat's is my passion and my dream is to be able to establish a cat shelter in the future as I believe all cats deserve a home. My background in healthcare (and my love for my little babies) is what makes me want to do my best to make them happy and healthy). The effort I put in for my cats is no different to the effort I'll put in for your's as I truly believe all animals are deserving of love and care, even if they don't seem to want it sometimes as my boy cat Nimki never fails to remind me. I'm a quick learner and am enthusiastic about doing my utmost for cats, I've spent a lot of time learning about cat behaviour and health and will take care of your cat with the same love and care that I have for mine.
“Excellent service from Leanne and Kane. Both were very warm and I felt reassured they would take good care of our cats. They were interested in their different personalities and and what each cat liked. Really good communication whilst we were away with daily updates with lots of photos. Would strongly recommend and would use them again”
About: I am currently a Uni student that loves animals, while I would love to have some, unfortunately I can't, as I am currently living in accommodation, to get around that I decided to try and find some to take care of! :) I have had a few pets ever since I was little, from hamsters, tortoises, birds, dogs and so on. I have taken care of quite a few pets, such as cats, dogs, birds, etc, mostly of these pets were dogs as I am more familiar with dogs and they are my favourite animal. I try my best to spoil the pets, by buying them toys, their favourite snacks and so on. I can do weekends, just contact me to arrange the times as I am usually working. Rest assured that you'll leave your pets in safe hands. I am currently working part time and studying full time, therefore I might need to check my calendar before confirming any bookings, but I am always willing to walking/taking care of your pet(s). Apologies for that! I have experience with many dogs, small, medium and big. I will always make sure that the needs of your pet(s) are fulfilled as well as ensuring a safe environment for them to play/roam around.
“I can't recommend Louise highly enough. It was my first time using Rover and leaving my cat with someone I didn't know so I felt a bit anxious but Louise put me completely at ease from the very beginning. She was friendly, professional and clearly very experienced with cats and I felt confident that my cat was in safe hands. Throughout the time I was away she was very communicative, sending regular updates and photos, which made such a difference and really helped me relax. I came home to a happy, well-looked-after cat, and I wouldn't hesitate to book her again. Thank you so much!”
“I felt completely at ease leaving my cats in Sara's care. Regular updates, great communication, and I came home to happy, relaxed cats and a spotless home. You can tell they genuinely care. Would 100% recommend!”
About: We’ve recently moved to the area but don't have pets with us yet and miss their company! In our family home, we have three rescue cats (one three-legged) and two rescue rabbits. Between us we have previously owned dogs of various breeds, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, fish and hamsters We have a genuine love of animals and take great pride in making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy. Whether it’s playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply being a calm presence, we always treat pets as part of the family. With over 15 years’ experience, we regularly pet sit for family and through TrustedHousesitters, looking after cats and dogs in their owners’ homes (see reviews in photos). We’re confident handling nervous rescues and pets with health issues, experienced in administering medication, and passionate about giving animals a safe, trusted, and loving environment. Please drop us a message if you have any questions. Pet sitting fits perfectly with my flexible remote work, allowing me to care for pets during days, long weekends, or quick visits around my schedule. I prioritise safety, trust, comfort, wellbeing, and happiness. Prefer caring for pets in their owner’s home due to space, but happy to adapt if needed.
“Tori was great and made a fuss of our cat James during her visits, while we were away on holiday. Great communication, both prior to the cat sitting, and during. Would highly recommend for all cat sitting needs.”

About: Dogs have been the heart of my home for nearly two decades. After 14 wonderful years with my beloved Staffy, Tyson, I welcomed Titan into my life three years ago.

Safety & Supervision First As a stay-at-home mum, I am home throughout the day. My husband Gurpal works from home two days a week, this means your dog will rarely, if ever, be left alone.

Our days are filled with: Active Play: Frequent garden games and mental stimulation. Daily Walks: Regular outings to stretch our legs and explore.

“Our Bonnie had a woof-tastic day with Nicola and Kerry. She settled right in after her Meet & Greet session,and we felt reassured during the daycare with photos and updates throughout. Thank you x”
“Kim has been absolutely amazing with my dog, Lulu. This was the 4th time she’s cared for her, and as always, she went above and beyond! Kim kept me updated throughout the day with adorable photos and videos, which always gives me such peace of mind. She even did some crafting with Lulu – how thoughtful and creative is that? It’s clear that she genuinely loves and cares for Lulu like her own. I couldn’t ask for a better sitter. Thank you, Kim, for being so wonderful! Highly recommend her to anyone looking for top-notch care for their furry friends. 🐾”

I’m organised, punctual and happy to provide photo updates after every walk for peace of mind.

About: I have always had a strong passion for animals and a natural ability to care for them. From the age of 14 to 16, I regularly walked dogs around my neighbourhood, building experience with different breeds and temperaments. I grew up with Rottweilers, so I am confident handling larger, strong dogs as well as smaller pets. I currently have a cat, who I have successfully trained to sit for treats, showing my patience and understanding of animal behaviour. I have also volunteered at animal rescues, further developing my hands-on experience and compassionate approach. I provide a loving, safe, and attentive environment for every pet in my care. My cat is both dog- and cat-friendly and has previously lived with a Rottweiler who is his best friend and still sees regularly, so I am happy to host pets that are comfortable around cats. I am also more than happy to care for dogs of any temperament in their own home, ensuring they feel relaxed and secure in a familiar environment. I have a flexible and reliable schedule, as I currently work part-time while my partner is at home full-time. This means there will always be someone present to give your pet plenty of attention, care, and supervision throughout the day. Together, we have lots of time to play, provide companionship, and ensure your pet feels comfortable and loved at all times. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping them company, your pet will never be left feeling lonely and will receive consistent, attentive care. I offer a safe and comfortable environment for pets, with a large, fully fenced garden where they can play and explore securely. I live on a quiet, non-busy road, making walks calm and stress-free. I can also provide a crate if needed, whether for training, rest, or to maintain your pet’s usual routine. My home is a relaxed, pet-friendly space where your pet will feel safe, settled, and well cared for.

About: Hi 👋🏼 I’m Anisha! I live in Gidea Park and offer dog walking, check-ins, sitting and boarding services across the Havering/Romford areas . I’ve loved and cared for dogs for over 12 years and since moving out of my family home, I’ve really missed having dogs around. Looking after them brings me so much joy!

About: I am a passionate and reliable dog lover with over six years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds, and personalities. Throughout this time, I have looked after puppies requiring training and close supervision, energetic adult dogs needing regular exercise and stimulation, as well as senior dogs requiring patience, medication management, and specialised care. I understand that every dog has unique needs, and I take pride in providing attentive, compassionate, and personalised care to ensure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable while their owners are away. Whether it is daily walks, feeding, playtime, administering medication, or simply providing companionship, I always treat every dog as if they were my own. I am responsible, trustworthy, and committed to maintaining clear communication with owners, including regular updates and photos for peace of mind. My goal is to create a positive and stress-free experience for both pets and their families, ensuring each dog receives the love, attention, and care they deserve. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine as I currently have a very flexible schedule and am available throughout the day. This allows me to provide pets with plenty of attention, companionship, exercise, and supervision rather than leaving them alone for long periods. I am able to accommodate regular walks, feeding schedules, playtime, medication administration if required, and any specific routines that help pets feel comfortable and settled. My flexibility also means I can adapt to the individual needs of each pet, whether that involves multiple walks a day, extra companionship for anxious pets, or more active engagement for energetic dogs. Because I have the time to dedicate to pet care, I can ensure that every pet receives the attention, affection, and personalised care they deserve. When caring for pets, I always aim to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable, secure, and happy. I take the time to understand each pet's individual needs, including feeding schedules, exercise requirements, medication, favourite activities, and any behavioural quirks or anxieties. In a pet owner's home, I ensure pets receive plenty of attention, companionship, playtime, and exercise while respecting the owner's instructions and maintaining a clean and tidy environment. I provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel reassured that their pets are happy and well cared for. When caring for pets in my own home, I provide a safe, clean, and welcoming environment where they are treated as part of the family. Pets receive regular walks, enrichment activities, affection, and supervision throughout the day. I pay close attention to their wellbeing and behaviour to ensure they remain comfortable and stress-free during their stay. Above all, I believe every pet deserves patience, kindness, and individualised care, and I treat each animal as if they were my own.
“I booked with Sayo quite last minute and he was incredibly accommodating and reassuring throughout. He took such great care of Noodle, I felt really at ease knowing he was in safe hands. It’s lovely that he has his own dog, Cassie, who Noodle was a big fan of I think haha! Thank you again, Sayo, would definitely recommend and will be booking again when needed!”
“Nicola was great with Zaya. Zaya had so much fun, Nicola updated me with photos and messages. I will definitely ask Nicola’s help again. I can recommend her to pet parents as she was great.”

About: I’ve always loved animals and have had wonderful memories of our childhood dog Bobby. I understand some pet owner’s anxiety about leaving their dogs at kennels, whether or not they are getting proper one on one attention. I’d love to offer my time for walks or boarding at our home for planned holidays. I am a stay at home mum and now my two children are in school full time, I am free to help you walk or board furry family member at our home for special occasion out / planned holidays. We have a full fenced garden and a large grass area just outside the house. This gives super easy access for doggie toilet trips when needed!
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals since I can remember, ever since I was a kid, I encountered lots of different pets such as frogs, newts, hamsters, tortoise ect. However we had two staffs, I cared for them with my dad, from birth till I was 12. Having two staffs alongside many other animals has helped me gain knowledge on how to care and raise animals. Aside from my own pets, being an animal lover I naturally took on the role of walking my family’s dogs. I also worked in a farm for a few years doing voluntary work, this further expanded my experience beyond dogs and pets you’d have at home. I cleaned them out, fed them, and made sure everything is how it’s supposed to be to ensure they’re comfortable. At the moment I am unemployed and out of education, because of this I will have plenty of time to cater to walking your dogs! I would make sure the dogs needs are met, I would take time to get to know each dogs needs specifically. I would ensure the dog is always in my sight and never left unattended.
About: My sister Kerry and I have many years experience of living with dogs. We have owned a West Highland White Terrier and our most recent, a border collie. We sadly lost our border collie to a brain tumour last year and since then wanted to give other fur besties all the love & fun they deserve! 💕 We’ve spent the last year looking after friend’s & family’s dogs and with the growing interest decided to expand to others. Our home is your dog’s home and will be treated as we would our own. They have total freedom in our house with full access to a lovely, big garden. There will be no cages & no crates used unless you say otherwise. We take the time to gain your dog’s trust as we want nothing more than for your dog to feel as safe & happy with us as they do with you. You can expect plenty of play time, daily walks and a lot of love, as we treat them just like we would our own. We aren’t the only ones that deserve a holiday, your dog does too! Interested in knowing what your dog is getting up too whilst you’re away? No problem! You will receive daily updates and photos to keep your mind at ease 🐶 There will always be someone at home with your dog. Even though I, Nicola, go out to work at times, Kerry and I work together and is around during the day so will always be available in case your dog needs the toilet, to take them on their daily walks, and of course to play! 🎾. We live a 5 minute walk from the park so your dog will never miss a walk, after all, that is their favourite time of day! We try to make our home feel like your dog’s home. Your rules are what we follow. If you keep them in a crate over night please bring it with you. If they’re not allowed upstairs we’ll make sure they stay downstairs. If you allow them full access in your home they will definitely have that here too! We also have a big, fenced garden they have full access too as well. Meet & greet always welcome and advised which gives you a chance to meet us, we can meet you and you can see where your dog will be staying.
About: Animals have always been part of our everyday life. We grew up with cats and dogs and recently said goodbye to our much-loved 20-year-old cat. Since moving to the UK, we have a very real pet-shaped gap in our lives and would love to shower another furry friend with care while we settle in. We’re happy with pets of all breeds and ages. I’m home four days a week and my partner is home in the later afternoons, so there’s plenty of time for company, cuddles, and attention. Lunchtime walks are already part of our routine, and we’re lucky to live near lots of dog-friendly parks. I have a hybrid work schedule and am available for walks on my work-from-home days (morning, lunchtime, or late afternoon), as well as weekend pet sitting. I’m especially happy to support pets who enjoy consistent, every-other-day walks. I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of walks, attention, and care. If overnight stays are needed, I don’t have any pets of my own, so your pet will always be my main focus. I’m also happy to pet sit or house sit in your home, where your pet is most comfortable.
“Kimberly was fantastic when walking Max. She communicated really well and was very reliable. Although Max was booked in for 30 min walks Kimberly made an effort to make sure these were varied and interesting. She went above and beyond in taking him to the beach and dog fields. He was a very happy and tired dog ! Will definitely use again”
“We have been using Leanne and Kane now for a few months and I couldn't recommend them enough. Our dogs love them and they are always very professional, punctual and have followed our instructions perfectly as our dogs can be reactive around other dogs during walks. With my chihuahua who is quite nervous, they've taken the time to allow him to settle with them, and been very patient and gentle with him and now he loves them. Absolute 5 star dog walkers”
About: I’ve been around and owned horses and dogs from a young age so for many years and currently own two extremely well-loved French Bulldogs, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet. I love animals more than people my partner often refers to me as ace Ventura 🤣 I have experience with dogs of different sizes and personalities I love the crazy ones! I’m strong and I am confident with walks, feeding, playtime, administering basic care and keeping routines consistent. I’m active, reliable and will always treat your dog as if they were my own. Whether your dog needs a fun walk, company during the day or overnight care, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy and well looked after while you’re away, I can even spam you with photos if you like. I work full-time from home (apart from a Tuesday I go to the office in Brentwood) during the week and am available for walks before and after work, evenings and weekends. I also offer drop-in visits and house sitting with advance notice. I’m active, reliable and happy to work around your dog’s usual routine to keep them happy and comfortable. I know every dog is different, so I always take the time to understand their routine, personality and any specific needs. Whether I’m walking your dog, visiting them at home or house sitting, I’ll provide plenty of care, attention and regular photo updates so you know they’re safe and happy. I’ll always respect your home, follow your instructions carefully and treat your pet as if they were my own.
About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them comes naturally to me. I’m currently a proud dog dad to a six year old French Bulldog who is full of personality, energy, cuddles, and hilarious zoomies. He genuinely believes the world revolves around him, and honestly, he’s probably right. From being my little shadow to my built-in doorbell making sure nothing goes unnoticed, the love and joy dogs bring is something I truly value every day. Before my Frenchie, I grew up with a German Shepherd in the family, so I’m very comfortable with both small and large breeds, different temperaments, and understanding each dog’s unique needs. Over the years, I’ve also looked after friends’ pets including Eurasiers, Chihuahuas, and cats, giving me hands on experience with a wide range of personalities and care routines. What sets me apart is the level of genuine care, patience, and attention I give every pet. Whether it’s daycare, overnight pet sitting, long walks, playtime, cuddles on the sofa, vet visits, administering medication, injections, or making sure anxious pets feel calm and safe while their owners are away, I’ve got it covered. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone else, because I’d want the exact same peace of mind for my own dog. My goal is always to make pets feel loved, comfortable, safe, and treated like family. I’m a freelance interior designer, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of free time between projects to give pets the attention, care, walks, and companionship they deserve. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I already structure my days around my own dog, Ted, my energetic and lovable French Bulldog. If I’m caring for your dog, don’t worry, Ted will be with my partner, so your pup will always get my full attention and dedicated care. I’m available most days of the week for pet sitting, daycare, and walks in the mornings, afternoons, or evenings. I especially prefer staying at your home when pet sitting, as I truly believe dogs feel safest and happiest in their familiar environment and routine. As a dog dad myself, whenever I travel abroad, I make sure Ted stays at home and has someone stay with him rather than moving him somewhere unfamiliar. Our little angels can already feel anxious when we’re away for long periods, so I believe keeping them comfortable in their own space helps reduce stress and gives both pets and owners peace of mind. When caring for pets in their own home, my priority is to follow the owner’s routine, rules, and preferences as closely as possible so your pet feels comfortable, safe, and settled while you’re away. Every dog is different, and I completely respect how each owner chooses to raise and care for their pet. Whether your dog is crate trained, allowed to freely roam, enjoys sofa cuddles, or has certain boundaries around furniture, balconies, or garden access. I will always follow your lead and instructions carefully. I’m also very mindful of each pet’s individual needs, including dietary requirements, allergies, medications, health conditions, exercise levels, and behaviour patterns. Safety is extremely important to me, so I always make sure hazardous items, unsafe foods, or small objects are kept out of reach, and that pets are supervised appropriately both indoors and outdoors. My goal is to maintain your pet’s normal routine as naturally as possible, giving them plenty of care, companionship, playtime, walks, and reassurance while giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in safe and caring hands.
About: I’ve had cats all my life and currently we live with two feline friends who rule the roost. I have hands on experience with dealing with elderly and poorly cats of my own and also from previous volunteer work in vets and shelters. I am happy to look after other animals within the home as part of the visits (we also have a dog and chickens and have previously had reptiles, rodents, sheep and horses) as well as water plants, close/open curtains and blinds and generally make sure your place is ok in your absence.
About: I am currently a Uni student that loves animals, while I would love to have some, unfortunately I can't, as I am currently living in accommodation, to get around that I decided to try and find some to take care of! :) I have had a few pets ever since I was little, from hamsters, tortoises, birds, dogs and so on. I have taken care of quite a few pets, such as cats, dogs, birds, etc, mostly of these pets were dogs as I am more familiar with dogs and they are my favourite animal. I try my best to spoil the pets, by buying them toys, their favourite snacks and so on. I can do weekends, just contact me to arrange the times as I am usually working. Rest assured that you'll leave your pets in safe hands. I am currently working part time and studying full time, therefore I might need to check my calendar before confirming any bookings, but I am always willing to walking/taking care of your pet(s). Apologies for that! I have experience with many dogs, small, medium and big. I will always make sure that the needs of your pet(s) are fulfilled as well as ensuring a safe environment for them to play/roam around.
About: I have looked after family pets, dogs, cats, a parrot & rabbits for many years but would love to help others as well. I love walking and am happy to take dogs for a long walk. I love cats as well, I would be happy to keep them company for a while, administer medication & feed them. Recently I have looked after 5 cats which was an interesting experience. Luckily they all had name tags so that I knew who was who! I would be happy to stay overnight if necessary. I have recently retired from my teaching job (food technology) so I'm now available day & night to care for your pets or to walk your dogs. I have a very safe bungalow, the garden is fenced securely in which I can look after your dogs and plenty of room inside if the weather is bad.
About: We’ve recently moved to the area but don't have pets with us yet and miss their company! In our family home, we have three rescue cats (one three-legged) and two rescue rabbits. Between us we have previously owned dogs of various breeds, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, fish and hamsters We have a genuine love of animals and take great pride in making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy. Whether it’s playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply being a calm presence, we always treat pets as part of the family. With over 15 years’ experience, we regularly pet sit for family and through TrustedHousesitters, looking after cats and dogs in their owners’ homes (see reviews in photos). We’re confident handling nervous rescues and pets with health issues, experienced in administering medication, and passionate about giving animals a safe, trusted, and loving environment. Please drop us a message if you have any questions. Pet sitting fits perfectly with my flexible remote work, allowing me to care for pets during days, long weekends, or quick visits around my schedule. I prioritise safety, trust, comfort, wellbeing, and happiness. Prefer caring for pets in their owner’s home due to space, but happy to adapt if needed.
“Anisha walked our dog Charlie while we went on holiday for 10 days and we couldn't be happier. She was punctual, professional, and great at communication—I always got a detailed update after every walk. It's a huge relief to know Anisha treats our pet like family and I'm happy to have found her. I will definitely book Anisha again. 5 stars fantastic.”

About: I have always had a strong passion for animals and a natural ability to care for them. From the age of 14 to 16, I regularly walked dogs around my neighbourhood, building experience with different breeds and temperaments. I grew up with Rottweilers, so I am confident handling larger, strong dogs as well as smaller pets. I currently have a cat, who I have successfully trained to sit for treats, showing my patience and understanding of animal behaviour. I have also volunteered at animal rescues, further developing my hands-on experience and compassionate approach. I provide a loving, safe, and attentive environment for every pet in my care. My cat is both dog- and cat-friendly and has previously lived with a Rottweiler who is his best friend and still sees regularly, so I am happy to host pets that are comfortable around cats. I am also more than happy to care for dogs of any temperament in their own home, ensuring they feel relaxed and secure in a familiar environment. I have a flexible and reliable schedule, as I currently work part-time while my partner is at home full-time. This means there will always be someone present to give your pet plenty of attention, care, and supervision throughout the day. Together, we have lots of time to play, provide companionship, and ensure your pet feels comfortable and loved at all times. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping them company, your pet will never be left feeling lonely and will receive consistent, attentive care. I offer a safe and comfortable environment for pets, with a large, fully fenced garden where they can play and explore securely. I live on a quiet, non-busy road, making walks calm and stress-free. I can also provide a crate if needed, whether for training, rest, or to maintain your pet’s usual routine. My home is a relaxed, pet-friendly space where your pet will feel safe, settled, and well cared for.

Currently unemployed meaning I am available fulltime to look after the pets that need to be cared for which is always a good thing for pet owners Nice big fenced off garden with currently no pets at the home. My cat stays with my ex gf mostly so the house is free of pets

“Mango was with Taffany (Siu Yung) for 2 days and she took excellent care of him. She took him for walks through out the day and kept us informed with regular updates with pictures and mesages. She took him out during the rain as well and blow dried him. One could only imagine if someone can be so loving and caring. Taffany and her family kept Mango super happy during his stay. Mango came back super happy after the stay. I would definitely recommend Taffany to anyone and everyone and looking forward for another stay in the future. Thank you so much for taking such a good care of Mango. Much appreciated 🙏”
“I booked a last minute boarding request with Indy for three days for my large dog. 5 stars doesn’t even cut it! My dog is a rescue and can be nervous at times, but she loved every second. Even though the request was last minute, Indy still accommodated a meet before booking anything, which went well. Layla was so very well looked after and cared for by the family, I had constant updates via text with pictures and videos, she was having the best time. I couldn’t recommend Indy enough, I’ll absolutely be rebooking when the time comes that Layla needs boarding/ dog sitting again”
“Thank you very much Kim for looking after Leo again! Very flexible and accommodating with times and days Plenty of photos and kept us updated the whole time! Highly recommend”
“We left our dog Goofy with Gabriella for 3 days and we honestly couldn’t have chosen better. She took amazing care of him, kept us updated with photos and messages, and made sure he felt comfortable and loved. It gave us real peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. We truly appreciate her care and would 100% recommend her. 🤍🐶”
“Leonor is a fantastic cat sitter! Super attentive, communicative, and genuinely caring. It was such a relief knowing my cat was in good hands. I will definitely book again 🙌”
About: Animals have always been part of our everyday life. We grew up with cats and dogs and recently said goodbye to our much-loved 20-year-old cat. Since moving to the UK, we have a very real pet-shaped gap in our lives and would love to shower another furry friend with care while we settle in. We’re happy with pets of all breeds and ages. I’m home four days a week and my partner is home in the later afternoons, so there’s plenty of time for company, cuddles, and attention. Lunchtime walks are already part of our routine, and we’re lucky to live near lots of dog-friendly parks. I have a hybrid work schedule and am available for walks on my work-from-home days (morning, lunchtime, or late afternoon), as well as weekend pet sitting. I’m especially happy to support pets who enjoy consistent, every-other-day walks. I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of walks, attention, and care. If overnight stays are needed, I don’t have any pets of my own, so your pet will always be my main focus. I’m also happy to pet sit or house sit in your home, where your pet is most comfortable.
“Elisa looked after my dog so well that my dog didn't even want to come home with me. I was so relaxed while I was away knowing Elisa looks after my dog and she sent photos daily to keep me updated.”
“Maria and her husband did an amazing job looking after Molly. Molly was made to feel at home and got multiple walks. Updates very plentiful throughout the day and I would highly recommend Maria for pet sitting!”
“Our Shih tzu Willow settled in very nicely with sisters Nicola and Kerry and their mum. I was sent messages and photos throughout the whole weekend which was so reassuring. They really looked after Willow, took her for long walks over the park and gave her plenty of cuddles. They also have a very large garden for Willow to run around in. I would definitely recommend this family to pet-sit your dog 🐶”
“Maria had a lovely time with Crumpet and came back super happy! Maria sent us lots of updates and photos which was great and was really quick to respond to us. We will book again!”
“Henrietta was absolutely amazing with Percy. She took such good care of him and the joy and love of dogs shines through from her. I felt so reassured leaving Percy with her - she clearly devotes a lot of time and love to the dogs she looks after. She kept in touch regularly with updates and was so thoughtful and clearly cared a lot about Percy’s welfare. Her communication was amazing from start to finish. Honestly I can’t thank her enough and would happily leave Percy with her again anytime.”
“My Dog went to stay with Lucy on Saturday, 1st time with a dog sitter, absolutely perfect. He was nervous a little at 1st Lucy said but settled, he came back happy and content and well looked after, i would highly recommend. Thank you Lucy for looking after my boy.”
“Our red fox lab woody had a lovely time at Elizabeth’s at the weekend he was really well looked after and lovely to see photos and videos throughout his stay would definitely recommend her and would use again xx”
About: I've been around dogs as long as I can remember. I cared for my Frenchie from a puppy until a senior, as well as taking in other people's pets whilst they are away or aren't able to care for them. As a very active person, I love to go for long runs and adventures through forests or parks but am just as happy caring and hanging out with them when they need it. I have been pet sitting for years, however I began working with other people's pets as a part time job (I'm a professional dancer!) in 2022. Since then, I absolutely love it! I am a professional dancer and pet-sitting is my side job since I lost my beautiful dog of 12 years in 2022. I am quite available however I do leave the country occasionally to tour (this is always updated in my calendar in advance). My brother, who used to work in dog shelters in Bulgaria, is often available to cover me incase of ill-health, injury or unforseen circumstances. I have a fenced garden and a doggy door that gives pets free range to use the outdoor/indoors as they please. This can also be locked if necessary. I do have two cats who grew up with my dog for 5 years and got along with her very well. One of them is mainly outdoors, and the other is usually wherever people are. There are many beautiful parks in this area too that are safe for dogs and I regularly walk dogs around.
“Superb! Will definitely be booking again; communication throughout Kane’s stay and his needs were accommodated with no hassles. Danielle allowed for Kane take home a toy, he will now not put it down - his new favourite teddy. Couldn’t be more pleased with the service received; would recommend to anyone a bit anxious about being away from their pets, they will be in safe hands here guaranteed :)”
About: Hi! I’m 22 years old and have been around animals my entire life. I have looked after big breeds like bullmastiffs and cats regularly, so I’m very comfortable with both large dogs and the individual routines and loveable quirks of cats! In the past, I’ve also owned and cared for rabbits and bearded dragons which has given me experience with a wide range of temperaments and care needs. As a masters student, I attend university only twice a week, so aside from my lectures, I can dedicate all my time to caring for your pet. If your dog is sociable, I can arrange safe introductions with friendly pets of my neighbours or nearby family members. If your pet prefers a quieter environment, they’ll have my flat to themselves, ensuring they never feel overwhelmed. I’m available for boarding any day of the week and on Mondays and Wednesdays before 11am and after 4pm for drop ins or visits! Your dogs safety and comfort are my top priority. My flat has a secure balcony with high fencing, providing safe ventilation if your dog needs fresh air while I step out briefly. I have a crate suitable for all sizes, including large breeds like a bullmastiff, so your dog can rest securely when needed. For exercise and outdoor fun, I live next to a beautiful countryside field with a lake, perfect for safe, scenic walks. Every aspect of their environment is designed to keep them happy, secure and cared for.
“We couldn't be happier with Darwin as a dog sitter for our chocolate labrador, Mango. He truly understands the specific needs of labradors: providing Mango with plenty of exercise, attentive care, and, importantly, being firm about food rules (which we really appreciate!). Mango was clearly very happy and well looked after. Darwin also kept us updated with regular messages and photos, which meant so much to us and especially our kids, who were missing Mango terribly. Highly recommended!”
“Lauren and her family are an absolute dream. They are kind and caring and took great care of my two little doggies. Despite one being quite anxious, they both settled in quickly and felt immediately at home. Lauren has a fab house and big garden so the doggies have plenty room to run around and explore. I will definitely be booking again :)”
“Amazing host looked after and cared for my kitten beautifully. Lives in a lovely environment I felt safe leaving my pet there. A true animal lover and kept in touch each day perfect !!! Will defo use again”
