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: From a young age, my passion for our furry friends has blossomed, and today, I find joy in extending that love to your precious canine companions. At the center of my canine universe is a charming Old English Sheepdog, a beloved member of my family. Her warm and friendly nature reflects the kind of care and attention I bring to every furry friend I encounter. For me, caring for dogs isn't just a job – it's a fulfilling hobby that brings immense joy and satisfaction. Your canine companion is not just a client to me; they become a part of my extended fur-family. With a genuine love for dogs and a passion for their well-being, I am here to make sure your dog receives the utmost care and attention, turning each interaction into a tail-wagging experience. I am committed to ensuring your dog's well-being and happiness. Regular, lengthy walks are a staple in our routine, providing ample exercise and stimulation for your furry friend. I understand that every dog has unique dietary preferences, and I am flexible to accommodate any feeding schedule or dietary requirements your pet may have. I have a large garden with no escape routes and and a home which has plenty of space for any dog. Your companion will not be restricted from my family, as much as I am obsessed with dogs, so is my family.

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: 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 have had dogs in my family since the age of 13. We had a Briard, Teddy for many years who was an huge dog and was loved very much! My partner has also had dogs in his family since the age of 10 and his family currently have an adorable Shei Tzu called Cookie. We are both active people who go on a walk at least once a day so we would love to assist in taking pressure off of you to walk your dog. We also have already been helping to dog sit for our friends and family when they go on holiday. Your pet will be staying with myself and my boyfriend Charlie. We stay in most weekends (will just need notice). We both work from home in the week and one of us are always home every day of the week. As mentioned we are both active people and walk everyday so would fit in with our schedules. We have a fenced garden which can be used. We have lots of downstairs space with a living room, dining room and kitchen. We can use a crate if needed.

About: I’ve been a cat and dog owner for most of my life! From schnoodles to Irish red setters, to domestic snow leopards and moggies, I’ve loved all of them and provided great care. Whilst I’m not in a position to own a pet right now, I’d love to still nurture and care for other pets and help out my community. I’m currently working part time and remotely so I’m generally home all the time. Pet care will fit into my schedule easily with a little bit of notice! I live in a two bedroom house, with a small fenced in garden with deck and astro turf. There are also plenty of lovely walks around me!

About: I’m a reliable and caring dog lover with years of experience around dogs of all sizes and personalities. Having grown up with dogs my whole life, I understand how important it is for owners to feel confident that their pets are safe, happy, and well looked after while they’re away. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs — from long walks and playtime to cuddles and keeping them company throughout the day. I also have a friendly dog of my own, so your dog will have plenty of attention, interaction, and a comfortable home environment during their stay. I’m patient, trustworthy, and happy to follow your dog’s usual routine to help them feel settled and relaxed. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or prefers a quieter environment, I’ll make sure they receive the care, affection, and attention they deserve. I work from home full time, which means your dog will have plenty of attention, care, and company throughout the day. I take dogs on two walks daily, usually between 35–60 minutes each, depending on their energy levels and needs. I live in a flat with access to a garden for toilet breaks, along with plenty of nearby green space and woodland areas for longer walks. I always aim to provide a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every dog in my care. Walks can be on or off lead depending on your preference and your dog’s usual routine.

About: As pet owners, we understand how challenging it can be to leave your pet. We will ensure we understand your needs and offer your dog the most comfortable stay. We have a 4 year old cockapoo so we already have a routine in terms of walking, feeding, etc. However we are happy to adapt to your needs if you have special requests. We walk and feed our dog twice a day and one of us always works from home so the dog is always in good company. We also have a 8 year old daughter so we are very mindful of our environment and we keep a safe place for both kids and pets. IMPORTANT: Please note we will not be accepting bookings without a meet and greet, we want to make sure it works for both your dog and our family.

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

Marta was fantastic whilst we were away for 6 nights abroad. She met the cats before and instantly they bonded with her and we knew we had picked the right person. Marta sent us videos each day when she had come round which was lovely and we knew both Autumn and Pebbles were in good hands. Thank you so much for looking after them and we will be booking you again in the future. 😊
