“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.”
“Eleanor looked after my two cats for the first time this week and they liked her immediately. She looked after them really well, spent time with them and kept me regularly updated with info and photos / videos. ”


About: Hi, I’m Sammy! I’m a responsible, animal-loving professional based in the UK, with a calm and patient approach to caring for dogs of all personalities. I currently work in a busy hospitality environment, which has made me highly organised, attentive, and great under pressure — all skills that translate perfectly into pet care. I understand how important routine, safety, and trust are when it comes to looking after your dog. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or more relaxed and needs a gentle approach, I adapt to their individual needs to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. From 7th April, I’ll be fully available seven days a week, providing flexible, reliable care including walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays, tailored to your needs. Your dog will be looked after in a safe, clean, and calm home environment. I live in a second-floor apartment Windows are secure (important for safety) I provide a relaxed, low-stress environment Plenty of attention, affection, and supervision I’ll follow your dog’s normal routine as closely as possible — including feeding times, walks, and any specific instructions.
About: I’ve owned dogs since I was 11 & have owned my own lovely, little dog (Arthur) for 6 years. Arthur loves new friends & loves hosting other dogs for him to play with so I thought it would be great to up my home to boarding. Our home is clean, safe and warm with a small enclosed courtyard garden & enclosed communal space with lots of areas nearby to walk your pup! Arthur is very friendly & loves to play and share his toys with his new friends and would welcome new small dog friends into my home. He likes dogs of all ages & sizes but prefers smaller to medium sized friends. My apartment is a decent space but probably wouldn’t be suitable for large dog breeds. I look forward to hosting your doggo! I currently work part time but I am available most weekends and changeable weekdays for boarding. I wake early & walk my dog, we play during the day and take another walk in the evening. I have plenty of free time at home in the day for wee breaks & I am generally at home all day. I have a fenced garden, hedged communal space and large sub level apartment with a lovely little poochon called Arthur. Arthur loves new friends & would be delighted to host more friends here for him to play with. I am at home most of the time so available to give your dog lots of attention, walks and love. I would treat your dog like I treat Arthur (like a prince!)
About: I have grown up around dogs since the age of 10. With 2 family cocker spaniels I am used to the craziness that having a dog brings to a household. I no longer live with my family dogs and miss being around them. I have experience with elderly dogs, one of my family dogs died this year at the age of 14 and she needed full time cars for months. We had a litter of puppies when I was younger, so I am experienced with younger dogs as well. I graduated from university 2 years ago and now work from home almost full time (I tend to go into the office once a week, but this is flexible). I would care for your dogs in the same manner you would. Whatever they need I am able to provide. I understand all dogs are different. I love long walks and they can accompany me daily.
“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”
About: Hi there – we’re Katie & Rob! We’re a family of five (plus our friendly Cockapoo, Roxy) and lifelong dog lovers. Both of us grew up with dogs and couldn’t imagine life without one. Our kids absolutely adore animals and are gentle, respectful, and playful around them. We live in an area with fantastic access to dog-friendly walking routes – from wooded trails and open fields to safe, pathed walks – and we make the most of them daily. Roxy enjoys two walks a day and would love the company of a doggy friend. She’s great with other dogs – happy to play or just snuggle up for a snooze. We have a secure garden, and since we work from home, your dog would have regular access to outside space for toilet or sniff breaks throughout the day. We’re always happy to throw a ball or enjoy a chilled-out cuddle session. If your pup enjoys companionship, outdoor adventures, and a home full of love and attention – they’d fit right in here. There’s always someone at home, day and night — Rob works remotely full-time, and Katie works from home two days a week. Your dog will never be short of company, cuddles, or attention! We take our Cockapoo, Roxy, out for walks every morning and afternoon, and we’re more than happy to add a third walk into the routine for any extra-energetic pups. We have a fenced garden so it’s fully safe and enclosed. Roxy has a tracker on and we have a spare we could always add to collars whilst they stay with us.
About: My whole life I grew up with animals !!! I don’t know a life without an animal and now that I have moved out of my family home I myself am longing for a furry friend of my own. My love and passion for animals and taking care of them is very obvious and you will not regret introducing your furry friends to me. I will ensure your animal is happy and safe, fed and been to the toilet. I enjoy cuddles and play time with animals and happy to spend time with them. In college I used to be a dog walker and look after a neighbours cat. Although I was in college I was truly missing animal love being away from my family house and therefore picked up dog walking and cat sitting in college. Please don’t hesitate to message me, I am happy to answer any questions at all ! Thank you :) I currently work full-time in a busy hospital environment. Animals bring me so much joy and love and I’m longing for my own furry friend especially after finishing a busy shift. Therefore I am available any weekday after 5pm as soon as I finish work to give some love to an animal. In the meantime my partner is at home and happy to look after the animal if we were to have an animal staying with us :) on the weekends I am available all day ! I am all about an animals safety and will provide it that necessary support. In my own home my front garden is fenced off as well as the back which means your animal cannot escape. In my own home it is only myself and my partner and no other obstacles that may impact on your animal. In your own home I will always ensure your animal is safe and protected check doors are locked etc. I am happy to stay contactable and message as much as necessary with the owner to ease the mind that your furry baby is happy.
About: I’ve participated in volunteered dog walking for the elderly and disabled for many years and have cared for dogs at home while family friends have been away, but most importantly I know what it’s like to care for my own pets as I’ve had two cats. My schedule is flexible as I work a part time job with varying hours. Very much depends as to what is happening week to week. We are in a secure terraced house and have a fenced garden patio area outside. But most importantly we are a minute away from a massive open communal green space surrounded by trees.
About: My 4-year-old daughter and I absolutely love animals — especially dogs and cats! We’d love to have our own one day, but since we travel often, it wouldn’t be fair to leave a pet behind. Instead, we’ve found the next best thing: pet sitting! I work part-time and mostly from home, which means I have plenty of time for snuggles, walks, and playtime. Both my daughter and I adore the extra company — a home always feels happier when there are pets around to brighten the day. 🐾💛 Because I work part-time and mostly from home, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets consistent care and attention throughout the day. I build regular walks, playtime, and feeding into our daily routine. Whether it’s morning walks, mid-day breaks, or evening cuddle time, caring for pets fits naturally into our rhythm. In our home, pets are treated like part of the family. They’ll get plenty of love, playtime, and snuggles throughout the day. We keep their routine as close as possible to what they’re used to — including walk times, feeding, and any special needs or preferences. We do our best to make them feel comfortable, relaxed, and happy from the moment they arrive.
“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!”

Very professional and friendly, she consistently sent updates and photos, as well as when food ran out and an issue occurred with delivery on my kibble subscription, she went and picked up extra food. Above and beyond care for my pet, I will definitely be hiring her again.
