“We didn’t have long to find someone to come in and sit with Nellie for an hour. Tais was fantastic - very friendly and incredibly professional. She kept us updated and sent photos. We’ll definitely book again.”


“We had to find a sitter last minute and found Erin to be a friendly and professional sitter. Erin popped in for an hour to let Nellie out in the garden and play ball with her. We’ll definitely use Erin again.”


“1st visit from Greg and all was well. He came for a visit to meet my two lurchers before the our first booking and they clearly liked spending time with him. Thanks Greg!”


About: I've grown up around animals and have always loved being around them. While I don’t have a pet of my own right now—mainly due to living in a flat and a busy schedule—I still jump at any chance to spend time with them. I used to dog sit regularly for a lovely pup until he (and his family) moved out of the area, and I’ve missed it ever since. As a remote worker, I have the flexibility to spend the whole day with your dog, giving them company, cuddles, and care while I work—just as long as there’s reliable Wi-Fi! Whether you need someone to walk your dog, keep your dog/ cat company during the day, or just drop in for feeds, I’d be happy to help. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine as a remote worker. I can either work from your home to keep your dog company throughout the day or pop in for walks and feeds—depending on how much time and attention they need. My weekdays are generally flexible, making it easy for me to build in regular visits or full-day stays. Weekends tend to be a bit busier, but if you give me as much notice as possible, I’ll always do my best to adjust my plans and be there for your pet when you need me. Let me know what their routine is and I'll stick to it as closely as possible to provide them as much comfort as possible. I'll treat your home with respect and safety of your pet and your home is of upmost importance to me. Please let me know if there are any behavioural issues, health needs and emergency contacts so that I'm prepared for all eventualities. I pride myself on being a calm and trustworthy person.

“Hannah was so helpful and efficient! She instantly established a rapport with our cats, one of whom can be a bit tricky. She administered a complicated medicine regime and kept us well informed and reassured. Thank you, Hannah.”


About: I have been caring for pets personally and professionally for over 14 years. I have worked as a cat sitter, caring for cats in their own homes when their families are away, and have been fully trained as a dog walker. I am confident working with dogs of all shapes and sizes and am familiar with young, training puppies, as well as senior pets who require special medications, feeding schedules, or mobility issues. In addition to my professional experience caring for pets, I got my very own first cat, Simon, at the young age of 7. Since then, I have been 'mummy' to 2 other cats and one lovely dog, in addition to being the legal guardian of several furry nieces and nephews whom I've cared for on countless occasions. Pets give me a genuine joy unlike anything else in this world and I love spending and sharing my days with them. I am currently working on a freelance basis, which opens me up wonderfully to the world of dog walking and cat sitting. Typically, I am available anytime between the hours of 10am - 4pm, Monday to Friday. I believe in keeping a pet in their familiar surroundings whenever possible. Home is the most comfortable place for all of us and when families are away, the consistency of staying at home is important for a pet. I like to be a guest in the pets home, letting the cats take control on social time, and being quick and discreet when picking up a dog for a walk and bringing them home again.

“Alycia was really helpful with looking after my dog at short notice. She put my dog at ease even though it was their first time meeting and she was lovely with him which was really appreciated. I got some great pictures and update on how the visit went. Thank you!”


About: I have always had pets as a child and now as an adult! Animals bring so much joy to life and I love my furry friends. Our beloved Labrador passed recently and we miss having a dog in the house, but aren't ready to replace yet, so cant wait to enjoy caring for other dogs whilst their owners are away! I live moments from the river wey so your furry friend can expect a lovely walk along the river to stoke lock through to Guildford nature reserve. I work flexible hours from my office at home, which means I have plenty of time to care for your pet and make sure they get the attention they need - plenty of play, walks and food! I have a fenced garden where there is space for your dog to be outside. Whilst I am working your dog will sit with me in my home office and provide welcome distraction from my IT role! I will walk dogs in the morning, lunchtime and evening as needed to suit your pet.

“Theo was wonderful. This was my second time booking with him and hopefully won't be the last. He is so caring and he keeps me well informed about my boy when I'm away from home which is such a comfort as I do worry. Thank you again Theo and for all that you do.”


“Alexandra is simply brilliant. I've always been nervous about leaving my two kitties, but Alexandra put my mind to rest immediately. She sent daily updates, with loads of photos, including videos. She spent so much time playing with them. She also hoovered, (one of my cats is molting), which wasn't a request, but what a lovely surprise. To top it off, she asked if she could leave a gift for Baxter, who ADORES playing with shoes laces and string, what a lovely thing to do. She clearly loves cats and was mindful and attentive to their needs. One of my cats is a little nervous and gets stressed easily, but both kitties were happy and relaxed on my return. I will definately be contacting Alexandra in the future! :)”


About: I’m Pet First Aid trained and have been around animals my whole life. I’ve raised both cats and dogs since childhood, and for the past 18 months, my wife and I have been raising our chocolate Labrador, Bella. I know firsthand how important it is to find someone who will care for your dog as if they were their own. Your dog’s safety, wellbeing and happiness are my top priorities. I’m calm, patient and empathetic with all animals, and I understand how to adapt to their moods, needs and energy levels. Whether your dog is excitable, anxious or in training, I’ll tailor my approach to suit them. I’m also happy to continue any training routines you have in place. I pay attention to the small but important things like the weather, how much rest your dog has had, and whether they’re feeling bored, energetic or unsure. I adjust how I interact with them to make sure they feel safe and supported. If any issues arise, I stay calm and make sensible decisions with your dog’s best interests at heart. Whether you’re at work or out enjoying your day, you can relax knowing your dog is in safe, caring and capable hands. I’ve recently been impacted by redundancy, so am reasonably flexible as to when I can be booked. If I’m sitting for or visiting your dog, they will have my full focus, I won’t be working or leaving them unattended. I’m not looking to do this to make money, but to keep myself and my brain active and spend as much time as possible with the best creatures on earth. If visiting in your home, I would treat it with the utmost respect. Fully able to play with your dog in the garden if you have one and if not, happy to take them on a long or short walk as needed. If I’m feeding a dog I will make sure they have had the right break before and after exercise to lower the risk of bloat. They’ll always have fresh water topped up and will be in the right temperature to be safe and comfortable.

“Cleo had a wonderful experience with Sara-Jane and we returned to a very happy cat. Great communication and we felt at ease with all the lovely photos we were sent while on holiday.”


“April took excellent care of our dog Leo while we were on holiday. She was amazing with him in every way—very attentive, caring, and loving. She didn’t only take him out for walks, she spent lots of quality time with him, and he absolutely adores her. We’ll see each other soon again!! Thank you April 🙏🏼”

Louise has decided to wait before getting another dog but has decided she would like to take this time to care for other people’s dogs while they are on holiday or have work commitments. Any dog she looks after will be treated as one of the family and extremely well looked after. There will be plenty of good walks in the nearby nature reserve and local countryside.”

Ece E.
“In my experience, Ece is naturally attuned to the needs of different animals. When she first met my three dogs--a golden retriever, a saluki, and a lurcher--one of whom has been re-homed, and another a rescue, she was immediately able to recognize their varied dispositions and sensitivities. Ece could match my golden retriever's energy and playfulness, whilst also offering clear and firm boundaries, especially during walks. With my saluki, Ece respected his preference for space, allowing him to come to her, but also ensuring he was always included and watched over from afar. And with my lurcher, who has suffered from previous, irresponsible handling, Ece was patient and nurturing, slowly building trust over time without overwhelming her. I would not hesitate to entrust my animals to Ece's love and care. I know she would respond to them, and anyone's pets, with the utmost respect.”


Natasha L.
“Natasha has always been very caring and thoughtful. She is a extremely trust worthy individual to look after your pets and I would recommend her services to all”


Rebecca C.

“Rebecca was lovely. She always sent photos as requested and was very communicative. Thank you!”


Rica Mae-Lei Rapanut N.

“Rica helped us out with a last minute sitting. Her communication was really clear and positive. She cares about getting it right for your pet. Came home to a calm puppy.”
