About: I’ve had dogs surrounding me since i was 2 years old where i got my first dog, Rudie. I’ve then gone on to have all surrounding family and friends have dogs and have always been more than happy to look after them. I currently walk dogs for family friends but looking to explore more options for this through summer. I will listen to all your preferences and follow them best to my ability. I am currently not working other than this so will be free most of the time should you need someone short notice. Will do early mornings and late nights. I have a lovely old boy, Rudie who is unbothered by all dogs but enjoys some company to keep him young. I may occasionally have a young cocker spaniel to look after who is full of love and just wants to play. I have a fenced garden and live close to open fields and a forest with a river.

“Thank you, Laura, for checking in on our cats whilst we were away. Even if they didn’t show it, we know Ripley & Felix appreciated all of your efforts.”


5. matthew s.
“Matthew is a natural with pets. He is loving and caring whilst providing safe boundaries. He is experienced with looking after both dogs and cats from puppies & kittens through to older age too. He has cared for my dog and cat on numerous occasions and is my go-to pet sitter when I am planning to be away. He is trustworthy and has not let me down. I can highly recommend him.”


6. Sophie G.
“Sophie is great with dogs and has had lots of experience caring for them. She is very responsible and practical too. Would highly recommend her.”


7. Mairita E.

“Mairita is clearly an animal lover and Sally enjoyed her company on her visits. Initially Sally was a little shy but then loved the attention and cuddles as the daily photos and videos showed. I would happily invite Mairita to cat sit again and would not hesitate to recommend her.”


8. Steve H.

“Steve and Sandra were really great and our 6 year old springer Jimmy took an instant shine to them. It was great that he could also socialise with another dog, Tommy, on the walk. This service was invaluable as I needed to go to London with work at short notice and it was great peace of mind to know that Jimmy was well looked after.”


9. Heather T.

“Fantastic, absolute lifesaver helped me out at very short notice. Hounds loved her and I ever got a cute video which was massively reassuring having never left them with anyone but granddad before”


10. Lauren R.
“When we go on holiday several times a year, Lauren has regularly looked after our two cats. She has also walked and cared for her cousins black labrador. She is kind and reliable and enjoys taking good care of pets.”


11. joanne p.
“I've known Joanne for many years and know at first hand, her long experience of being a conscientious and diligent carer for dogs. In Joanne's home, dogs benefit from being in a home away from home. She will take the time to listen to your needs, understand your dog's preferences and will continue with boundaries around behaviour management that you want maintained in your absence, making sure your dog feels safe, loved and happy. Joanne will ensure your dog is well exercised in line with your expectations and will take the time to get to know how your dog relates to other dogs to make sure they are always safe in any environment.”


12. Chloe R.
“Chloe is a natural with animals and cares for Fred like he’s her own. She’s walked Fred since he was a puppy, and even looked after him overnight. He’s always happy to see her and definitely enjoys the post walk cuddles! If you are looking for a dog Walker or sitter, I’d highly recommend Chloe!”


13. Abigail K.
About: My first job as a teenager was walking and sitting neighborhood dogs and I’ve lived with cats, dogs and other animals my whole life. I now volunteer at a rescue and vet practice and study pet first aid too I usually work weekdays from 9-3 so all visits will be after 3. For overnights I will arrive around 3:30-4:30 and leave in the morning around 8:30. I am able to do multiple drop ins after work and depending on location I can do early morning visits too. Walks are always on afternoons unless it’s a weekend. I am a very laid back person who has a calm and approachable nature with animals. I am trained in safe handling of animals, pet first aid and have years of experience dealing with all types of pets. You can count on me to always be attentive, calm and in control.


14. Isabella N.
About: I have looked after pets all my life. When I was younger me and my dad had our down dog walking and border service! I have a range of experience between healthy and ill animals, dogs to cats to fish to horses. I am very attentive and will follow instructions well. I am also very calm and gentle and animals tend to trust me very easily I am very flexible when it comes to schedules. I am currently free both weekends and weekdays making me available for all your needs. Happy to do drop off and pick ups on an evening and weekends! I have a courtyard around the back and front of my home however this is not fenced. All animals would be kept leashed for their own security! We are very lucky to live right opposite a huge field/forest with miles and miles of walking - we also have a lovely shallow stream perfect for those who like a swim :)


15. Sarah G.
“I have known Sarah her whole life. She was a very kind, loving, caring, and generous child who has now matured into a kind, loving, caring, generous and responsible young woman. She has looked after my dog Holly many times over the years, both in her own home (when I left Holly with her while I went away on holiday) and in my home when she has visited me and my family. She also helped me care for my son Rory's 2 dogs, 1 cat and 1 hamster in his home when he went abroad on holiday last year. She is a very conscientious carer; always making sure that the pets she is looking after are well fed, watered and living in a clean environment and that the dogs have good walks and all 'dog poo' is picked up and discarded appropriately! Whilst studying, she has worked on a temporary basis at a local Cafe and I understand she has received compliments from the Cafe Manager about both her work ethic and customer service. I think Sarah will be an absolutely wonderful Pet Caregiver.”


16. Lavinia D.
“Lavinia has been taken care of my cats (2) for a while now on a regular basis, and I am always super happy to book her as I know my cat's are in fantastic hands. She sends regular updates and follows instructions (what to feed, how and when etc) which helps my cats to continue having a routine while I am away. She even was able to bond with our super shy cat who usually hides under every sofa the moment the door bell rings. Will certainly book her in the future again!”


17. Emily W.

“Emily has been an amazing drop in visitor for my puppy Bucky. He loves her and enjoys spending time playing with her. She is so reliable and speedy to reply to bookings. Has a lovely, positive and friendly demeanor and is very trustworthy. Thank you Emily!”


18. Rosie S.

“Rosie was fantastic with my tortoise Edith, always sent me photo updates and little messages letting me know how she was getting on for each visit. Over all very reliable and had great communication which really put me at ease, will definitely be booking with Rosie again in the future!”


19. Nika W.
About: Hi there! My name is Nika, and I’m excited to offer loving and personalised care for your furry friends. There’s nothing better than being part of a pet’s day and making it a little brighter and more fun! Over the years, I've had the pleasure of sitting for a variety of dogs, from energetic Cockapoos to tiny Chihuahuas, each with their own unique personalities and needs. I understand that every pet has their own routine and energy level, whether it's a long walk, a play session, or simply some cuddles on the couch. I also have experience taking care of cats, and I know how to give them the attention and care they need. Whether your pet is calm and low-energy or playful and active, I’m committed to making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved in my care. I'm currently working part-time, so I have plenty of flexibility in my day to fit pet care into my routine. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just hanging out and keeping your pet company, I can easily find a time that works best for both of us. I love building a routine that helps pets feel happy, relaxed, and cared for. I believe in tailoring my care to the specific needs of each pet. I provide personalised care and will follow any special instructions to make sure your pet's routine is maintained. I also adjust based on what your pet requires each day—whether it's a longer walk, extra playtime, or some quiet relaxation. I aim to provide a safe, nurturing environment where your pet can feel at ease and enjoy their time with me.


20. Ilona D.
“I can highly recommend Ilona as a dog sitter/dog boarder. We have used Ilona on multiple occasions and always found her helpful. She follows the instructions you leave her with and she also keeps you updated with messages & pictures throughout the stay and I find that super helpful as it puts my mind at rest seeing my dog being happy with other people while we are away.”
