Hollie was professional and friendly, obviously very experienced with dogs, and trustworthy. Took the booking at short notice, and she sent lots of updates and followed the care instructions, felt very happy and relaxed knowing she was dropping in through out the day...highly recommend.

About: As a Registered Veterinary Nurse, I have trained for years doing what I love, caring for animals. I have experience pet sitting for work colleagues, friends and neighbours, attending to a variety of needs and requirements. This includes strict medication schedules, different daily walking requirements, and much more. I have experience caring for animals great and small, so no matter your pet, I can assure you they will be in great hands with me. I am looking forward to getting to know and caring for you fur babies! As a full time worker, I am available Monday evenings (after 7pm) Tuesdays all day, Thursday evenings (after 6pm) and Weekends. I will occasionally be required to work a Saturday shift which I will put up on my availability calendar. My work schedule can sometimes change so I will keep my availability calendar up to date. If unsure just message and I will happily do what I can to accommodate you! I am happy to travel to your home within 40 mins drive for house sitting, and 30 mins for a drop in/walk. but do not take pets into my own home due to having my own pets that like their own space.

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.

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: 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: I’ve always been a huge animal lover and genuinely love spending time with dogs of all personalities. I volunteered for 2 months with Soi Dog Foundation, where I spent my days walking, caring for, and giving attention to lots of different dogs, including some nervous kennel dogs who needed extra patience and love. In my free time, I also look after my auntie’s cheeky Border Terrier, so I’m very used to energetic walks, playtime, cuddles, and making sure pets feel happy, safe, and spoiled while their owners are away 🐾💕 I choose my own shifts, so I’m usually available with just a few days’ notice! I also only work 3 days a week, which means I’ll have plenty of time during the day for walks, playtime, cuddles, and giving your cute little ones all the attention they deserve 🫶🐾 For your pet’s comfort and safety, I currently offer walks and house visits in your home rather than boarding. I’ll make sure your pets feel happy, cared for, and comfortable in their familiar environment 🫶

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.

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!

We found Kate to be a wonderful sitter and were lucky to find her for our visit to Harrogate. Kate always responded quickly, was adaptable to our needs when our timings changed, nothing was too much trouble. A very kind and caring young lady who we will be happy to book again, and would have no hesitation in recommending her for sitting your pet(s). Thank you Kate.

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.
