Olivia arranged to come round prior to the booking and was really calm and confident with our 5month old goldendoodle. Olivia sent regular updates and pictures of Daphne playing and relaxing. 10/10 recommend Olivia :)

About: I have plenty of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats through family, friends, and neighbours. I regularly walk, feed, and spend time with dogs in my community, and I’ve also provided overnight stays at a friend’s house to keep pets comfortable in their own routine. I’m often trusted to look after family members’ dogs and cats during both short breaks and longer stays, which has given me experience with pets of different ages, temperaments, and needs. What sets me apart is my reliability, genuine love for animals, and the attention I give to making sure each pet feels happy, safe, and cared for—whether that’s through daily walks, playtime, or extra cuddles. Since I work from home and drive, I can offer a great deal of flexibility, making it easy to fit in visits, walks, or overnight stays that suit your pet’s needs. Since I work from home, I have the flexibility to easily fit pet care into my daily routine. I’m available throughout the day for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, or playtime, and I can also offer overnight stays when needed. Because I drive, I can adjust to different schedules and locations, making it simple to accommodate each pet’s individual needs. When caring for pets in their own home, I make sure they feel safe and comfortable by keeping to their usual routines and surroundings. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely for feeding, exercise, and any special requirements. I take the time to build trust with each pet so they feel secure and relaxed in my care. At home, I live with my three children (ages 10, 15, and 16), two friendly cats, and a tortoise, so I’m very used to a busy, pet-loving household. This gives me plenty of experience managing different animals’ needs calmly and confidently. Pets in my care are never left unattended for long periods, and I keep a close eye on their safety during walks and playtime. I’m reliable, respectful of your home, and committed to ensuring both pets and owners have complete peace of mind.

About: I’ve cared for animals my whole life and have hands‑on experience with dogs, cats and small animals of all ages and temperaments. As a mum‑run service, I bring a calm, gentle and patient approach to every pet I look after. I’m fully insured, DBS checked and committed to providing one‑to‑one, homely care that helps pets feel safe, relaxed and loved while their owners are away. I also accept other animals please enquire further if needed As a full‑time mum and an early riser, my days start bright and early, which means I’m available for morning walks and visits before most people are even up. I train at CrossFit in the mornings, keeping me active, strong and ready for a busy day with pets. After that, my schedule is fully dedicated to pet care, allowing me to offer flexible daytime visits, lunchtime walks and afternoon check‑ins. My routine is structured, reliable and built around giving each pet calm, one‑to‑one attention while still balancing family life. Myself or my husband will be doing overnight stays as we split this depending on commitments I care for your pets according to your recommendations. Every animal differs to the type of care they require and I can fit and alter that to your animals needs in your home or on our walks.

About: I have a huge love for animals, for as long as I can remember I have always helped friends and family with pet care needs and would love to help others too. I work full time but have occasional work from home days one day a week at least, weekend availability and dog walking opportunities as I also take my own dogs for walks of around 2-3.5k twice daily. I have a house with 2 gardens that are enclosed, 2 small dogs myself to keep your fur baby company and for that extra social interaction, I also live within short walking distance of fields and woodland areas to take your dog on some lovely long walks!

Katie is an obvious dog lover! She arrived exactly as expected and followed all dog instructions as asked. I know Scamp was well looked after as he’s exhausted! I’d be delighted to have Katie look after Scamp if she is able and willing.

About: My family have always had pets! I have been brought up with cats, dogs, hamsters, guinea pigs. Animal care is my passion! My close family have cats and dogs, so if they’re busy or at work I do tend to help them out by taking them on walks. I have one cat, and I’m currently in the process of convincing my partner to rescue a dog with me! We both love animals so this is certainly the first step! I do work full time in a school, so I get all of the holidays off the same time as the students. However on the days that work, early morning walks/check ins or evening walks/check ins would be no issue at all. And of course there’s weekends that I’m free as well. My cat is super super loving and calm, my garden is fairly big and there’s a fence all the way around so there would be no safety issues

About: With years of hands-on experience as a devoted dog owner, I bring a deep understanding of canine behavior, needs, and communication. What makes me unique is my intuitive approach to individual dog personalities. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all care. Whether it’s building trust with a rescue, managing high-energy breeds, or creating routines that support both mental stimulation and calm, I tailor my approach to each dog’s temperament, age, and background. From daily walks and training reinforcement to grooming, nutrition, and health monitoring, I treat every dog as if they were my own. Over the years, I’ve cared for puppies, seniors dogs, gaining practical knowledge in everything from socialization to medication management. I’m not just experienced—I’m passionate. Dogs aren’t just pets; they’re companions, and family. That belief drives my commitment to giving them the best life possible. I am available morning noon and night I can also come and walk your dog whenever you need. I can also do long or short term boarding. I’m an active, animal-loving woman with a real passion for spending time with dogs. I have a secure, fenced garden that’s perfect for safe outdoor play, plus I’m lucky to live near beautiful open fields—ideal for long, enriching walks and plenty of sniffing adventures! I truly understand that dogs are sensitive, social animals who don’t enjoy being left alone. That’s why I’m committed to giving them plenty of attention, companionship, and care throughout the day. I love to play, cuddle, and simply be present with them, making sure they feel relaxed, happy, and loved at all times.

About: I’ve always been passionate about pets since I was very young and I couldn’t wait until I got older so I could get a dog of my very own. Almost 7 years ago I got my sweet cockapoo Nala she has changed my life in the most amazing way. She is reactive and it has definitely been a journey working with her to help give us both a better quality of life. Through my journey with Nala I have learned a lot of patience, compassion and empathy I’ve also learnt how to be extremely alert. I have cared for many of my family’s pets and am passionate and ready to help the wider public with the knowledge and skills I have gained in almost 5 years. I have also recently completed and achieved extensive knowledge through a trusted pet sitting and dog walking course. I’m nearing the end of my dog trainer course through The Dog Training college a positive reinforcement company giving me extensive knowledge on dog behaviour. I’m DBS checked and covered with Rover Insurance I’m happy to say I am available most days during working hours after I finish work at 12 so normally (12-7) with enough warning I’m quite flexible to help when needed for overnight stays and visits. I offered pet visits and pet care in your home and I will care for your pet like it’s my own I will ask for the pets routine and where the pet stays while you are away and I will follow those instructions to give you peace of mind while away from your pet. With my near qualifications as a dog trainer it helps me to assess and make sure your dog is as safe as possible.

Leanne provided excellent care for my cat while I was away. She was reliable, helpful, and kept me updated with regular photos. My cat was very well looked after and seemed to really enjoy her company which meant we could relax knowing she was in good hands. I would definitely recommend Leanne to others looking for a trustworthy cat sitter.

Eleonora was the perfect carer to our girls while we were away. She was very attentive to their needs and I especially loved the pictures I got sent through to see they were happy and enjoying the attention. My skittish cat came out of her shell sooner than I expected which is a result of Eleonora’s kind nature. I will definitely be booking with Eleonora again. Thank you!

Beverley was a wonderful cat sitter for Alpha! She was caring, reliable, and made sure Alpha was happy and comfortable while I was away. I really appreciated the regular updates and photos — it gave me peace of mind knowing my cat was in such good hands. Alpha seemed relaxed and content when I returned, which says a lot! I would definitely recommend Beverley to anyone looking for a trustworthy and kind pet sitter, and I’ll happily book with her again in the future.
