About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 10 years old and have always had a passion for animals. Having grown up around dogs and cared for my own, I have developed a strong understanding of their needs, routines, and behaviours. I am home full-time and available seven days a week, which gives me plenty of flexibility for dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting. I understand that every pet has their own routine and personality, and I always take the time to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for. I have my own Lhasa Apso called Romeo, who I walk twice a day, so I understand the importance of regular exercise, mental stimulation, and companionship. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, shorter strolls, playtime, or simply having company, I am happy to tailor my care to their individual needs.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs being a huge part of my life and have always loved looking after them. I’ve regularly cared for dogs belonging to family, friends and neighbours, and genuinely enjoy getting to know each dog and their personality. I’m currently home from university, so I have lots of free time and a really flexible schedule. I’m available throughout the week and at weekends, and I’m more than happy to work around your pet’s usual routine. I can give them plenty of attention, walks and company throughout the day. I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual routine, including walks, feeding and medication, while providing a calm, caring environment and always prioritising their comfort, wellbeing and safety.

About: I have always had cats growing up. I currently have my own called Milo who is a very loving clingy cat. I have done dog sitting for family members while they are on holiday. I have a lot of experience with both cats and dogs. This is my full time job so I am available anytime and anyday. I will respond to you within the hour and answer any questions you may have. I have a cat bed in my bedroom for my cat Milo and loads of cat toys that he loves! I have a cat flap on my front door so he can go in and out as he pleases.

About: As a child our small house was bursting at the seams with animals. Everything from hamsters and guinea pigs to cats, dogs and sometimes a lizard or two. I live for animals both wild and domestic and love spending my time observing them and caring for them. Working remote full-time gives me plenty of time to work at my own pace, and to tend to pet duties between whatever dull meetings I have that day. I treat my own cat like my child. She has health insurance, plenty of toys and stimulation, high quality food and lots of cuddles (when she permits it). I would treat anybody else's pet like I would their child, since I know how important companionship is to us all.

About: I'm currently a student Occupational Therapist who is really missing my family's pets while I'm at uni! 🐾 I love animals and know how important they are as valued members of the family! As a teenager I volunteered for the Cats Protection League and would clean litter trays for people in my local area who couldn't do so themselves. I would often dogsit for neighbours, and have even looked after someone's pet frogs before! 🐾 I adapt to whatever style of care your pet needs - some pets value calm and slow paced interactions, and some pets seem to have unlimited amounts of energy! My goal is to keep your pet happy in a style that is closest to their normal. 🐾 I am a very clean person, who will send regular updates via text and video. I have a fully enhanced DBS, and solid references :) 🐾 It's currently the summer holidays at University, so my schedule is completely flexible! I am doing a lot of studying at the moment, which can be done with your pet if they need extra company or supervision 🤓📖 I volunteer at my local community garden for a few hours a week, but this is flexible. I'll happily send update videos and pictures, and will always make sure you know what's going on. I understand that pets feel upset when their family leave for a trip, so I try to make the experience a positive one!

Trust is key, and I always communicate openly with owners to keep you updated and confident that your pet is in loving, responsible hands.

“We are absolutely delighted with the care Claire provided for our cats. She stepped in last minute after our original sitter cancelled, and we couldn’t be more grateful. Claire came every day on time, gave us regular updates with photos, and most importantly, took the time to play with the cats and make them feel comfortable. Even Oliver, who is usually very shy, warmed up to her quickly — which says a lot! It’s clear she genuinely cares, and our cats absolutely love her. We’re so happy with the service she provided and will definitely be using her from now on. Highly recommended!”

About: We are a couple who love animals. We have recently spent 6 months house/petsitting in Australia which has set us up with experience looking after other peoples pets and we would love to continue this back in the UK. We have a 6 year old French bulldog, Leighton who will also be in our care however he doesn’t need to join on walks or drop ins if preferred. We absolutely adore all dogs and would welcome any opportunity to spend more time with them. I work from home for the most part so have a lot of flexibility with my time. We both have jobs with varying flexibility and therefore will ensure your pet isn’t left alone. I work from home and Ami is a professional athlete so tends to either be away travelling when she plays or is training a couple of hours a day. We don’t have a garden, however live close to the expanse of Meanwood park so you can expect that your dog will be kept very active on lots of local walks !

About: I’ve grown up around both cats and dogs and caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. While I don’t currently have pets of my own I miss having animals around and love giving them plenty of care, attention, and affection. I work from home which means I’m flexible and able to spend quality time with your pet throughout the day. I’m also a keen walker, so dogs will get plenty of fresh air, exercise, and stimulation. I live in a spacious, pet-friendly flat with access to a secure fenced garden, no carpets, and no other pets, so your cat or dog will have my full focus in a calm, safe environment. I’ll treat your pet as if they were my own and make sure they feel happy, comfortable, and well looked after while you’re away 🐾 Pet care fits really naturally into my routine. I currently work part-time from home which gives me plenty of flexibility to give pets attention, playtime, and company. I’m available for boarding, walks, drop-ins, and sitting any time. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in a spacious, calm flat with a garden and no carpets, making it ideal for pets. I don’t have any other animals in the home, so your pet will have my full attention. I always follow owners’ routines closely, keep environments clean and secure, and provide regular updates for peace of mind.

About: Dogs always had an affinity for me as a child (my sister tells me it must be how I smell??) We had cats growing up so could never own a dog, however I always volunteered to walk my neighbour, cousin and auntie's dogs (spaniel, akita, labradoodle) as I loved being around them as they calm me. I love to learn a dog's personality but understand the vigilance and caution a dog walker needs to have as animals can be unpredictable. I currently work full-time from 9-6, but am available in the early mornings or evenings for busy pooch owners. Weekends are fully open for me. I will always talk to a dog owner about their pet's needs. This includes dietary restrictions, health conditions, personality or behavioural factors, and anything else that's vital to keeping a dog safe and content.

About: I grew up around dogs and have always loved being around animals. I’ve spent years helping take care of family and friends’ pets, including walks, playtime, and general care. As a student-athlete, I’m very active and enjoy getting outside, which makes dog walking a perfect fit for me. I’m reliable, energetic, and always make sure dogs feel safe, happy, and well cared for. As a student-athlete, my weekday schedule is busy, but I’m available for dog walks and drop-ins on Wednesdays. I’m also fully available on weekends, which gives me plenty of time to take dogs on longer walks and make sure they get great exercise and attention. Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I make sure every walk is safe, controlled, and enjoyable, keeping dogs on leash and paying close attention to their behavior and surroundings. I’m reliable, responsible, and treat every dog like my own. I’m also happy to send photo updates so you can feel confident that your pet is in good hands.

About: I had a cavalier kings charles spaniel for 10 years who I trained, looked after and loved immensely. All my family and friends have dogs of all breeds and ages who I have looked after many a time so very familiar with being around dogs. I have pet sat and dog walked in Australia and England over the last few years. I have recently returned to England from 2 years in Australia, so my schedule is pretty clear. Excited to look after your dogs weekdays, weekends and evenings :) I have a fenced garden at my family house, will take on board instructions provided to me by owners ensuring the safety of your pet is a constant priority.

About: I have taken care of dogs ever since I was a child. I have had a Cane Corso and a French Bulldog. I am extremely responsible and treat all dogs I sit as my own. In the past year I took full time care of a French bulldog whilst his owner was at work. This included looking after him 7am - 5pm involving everything from feeding, walkies, playtime to bathing, brushing and sleepovers. My schedule is flexible as I work from home most of the week. I can also sit during the weekends, overnight or do stays when you go on a holiday. I always ensure maximum safety for my dogs. Depending on their personality, I remove objects they might chew / eat. I have them on the lead unless it is safe for them to be off and you give me prior permission. I ensure they have access to water at all times. I do not leave them alone at any time to ensure they are safe and are well taken care of.

About: From the age of 5 I had always been around large dogs as my Grandma used to breed and show Dogue de Bordeaux’s. I would help deliver puppies and care for them until they were ready for their new homes. I have since had my own dog which I rescued, so I have had experience with puppies, rescue and senior pets. I currently own a bearded dragon & a ferret so I have a lot of knowledge on smaller animals and reptiles. I currently work with animals and love to be around them all day. I would love to continue to look after others pets outside of work after around 3pm on weekdays and all day on weekends. I have my own transport, own car seat covers, pet seat belts, own accessories and small pet carriers. I’m happy to accommodate any requirements :)

About: I have extensive experience caring for both cats and dogs, regularly looking after the pets of family and friends. While living in Mexico, I rescued two puppies at around eight weeks old and successfully raised and trained them. I’m passionate about animal care and highly interested in dog-training strategies. I truly enjoy meeting a dog’s needs through play, exercise, enrichment, and consistent training. I am currently working from home on a fairly flexible schedule, which allows pet sitting to work well for me. i can work around the pets routines, for walks, toilet breaks, or can also house sit I ensure that the pet's needs are met and that I fulfil the responsibilities agreed to with the owners. I treat the home with respect and ensure that the owners return to a happy pup.
