About: I have been an animal lover and had an interest in animal welfare since I was a child. I support a number of animal charities, have been vegetarian for 30 years and owned dogs for 35 years. All of my dogs have been rescues/unwanted dogs who came to me for their forever home. My two elderley dogs have passed away over the last 2 years so I currently have no pets in the home. I do now own 2 horses which is a significant financial responsibility so have decided not to take on any more pets for the time being. I do miss having a dog around the house. I work from home full time and own some land which is perfect for exercising dogs so I do have a good lifestyle and environment for a canine companion! I have my own business which I run from home full time. I also own a 4 acre secure paddock where I keep my horses. It is perfect for exercising active dogs who need a good run or for dogs who are best excercised away from other dogs. I have a good sized secure garden and plenty of space within the home. I am usually home most of the day and evening. If i do need to go out its 2-3 hrs max. I use a reward based approach rather than disciplining dogs. I aim to provide a calm and engaging environment I only take one households dogs at a time so your dogs will get full attention and there is no need to worry about any incidents with other dogs in the house.

About: Your dog’s safety and wellbeing are my priority. I’m fully insured and DBS checked, giving you extra peace of mind when booking with me. I’ve had horses and dogs my entire life, worked on a professional polo yard of 18 horses for 6 years and have lots of experience caring for animals of all different shapes and sizes! Your pet is my utmost priority, when they are in my care you’ll never have to worry about your furry little family member❤️ I am currently on maternity leave with my son, I am available 7 days per week for walking, drop ins, boarding, dog walking etc. Short notice is welcome, I understand things pop up and I will do my best to cater to whatever you need. I treat every animal how we treat our own. With love , care and plenty of cuddles and treats! No animal is “too much” and their care and happiness is my utmost priority.
“Charlotte was brilliant with our puppy, Remy. Remy is so excitable and will literally smother you as soon as she sees you and Charlotte dealt with this brilliantly. She sent plenty of videos and pics our girl on her walks which are so cute but also help to put our mind at ease as no one else had looked after her before. Hope to use Charlotte many more times, thanks again 💛”

“Molly has taken my dog Effie out for a walk whilst I am in the office and she was brilliant. Effie is very reactive to cars and other dogs and Molly was very happy to still walk her as she has experience of dealing with reactive dogs. I am so pleased she was able to walk Effie and let me know it all went well. I will be booking on the regular from now on! 😁😊🩷”

About: Me and my partner Ben have grown up with dogs in the family. We love dog sitting for our families and friends. Due to our shifts we can’t commit to a dog full time, so would love taking care of others when we can! Even though me and my boyfriend work shifts, and often we’re not working the same days each week, it means that we have bulk days off so we do have some flexibility. However, it is unusual for these days off to be as long as a week. We have a fenced garden attached to our house, and we have a vehicle to be able to take on walks. No small children or other pets

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by animals, and I always feel a real sense of comfort and joy when I'm around them. My love for dogs started when I spent lots of time with my grandad's lovely dog, Dooley. I’ve always considered myself a “dog person” because I enjoy building trust and forming bonds with them. Additionally, I completed a Level 2 Animal Care qualification, which deepened my knowledge of animal welfare, safe handling, and everyday care routines. I also had the wonderful opportunity to work in a cattery for a month, gaining practical experience caring for cats—feeding, cleaning, monitoring their wellbeing, and making sure they felt comfortable and relaxed. Plus, I share my life with my adorable Jackie Bichon, Annie, which has given me firsthand insight into the responsibilities, routines, and attention that pets need daily. Pet care fits nicely into my routine because I’m used to being organised and planning my time. I usually attend college on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays, but on other days I’m flexible and happy to help with pet care. On college days, I can do evening check-ins depending on what’s needed, and I always make sure I only accept bookings I can reliably handle. I have experience working in a cattery, so I’m familiar with routines such as feeding, cleaning, and regularly checking on the animals. I naturally carry those habits into how I manage my time now. On my days off, I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, or longer stays, and I always ensure pets receive proper attention and care without feeling rushed. Overall, I plan my schedule to ensure pets are well cared for, and their routines stay as normal as possible. When caring for pets, I always make sure they’re safe, comfortable, and kept to their normal routine as much as possible. At my home, I have a fully fenced garden, which helps ensure dogs can safely spend time outside. I make sure pets are always supervised and never left unattended, and I keep everything calm and secure so they can relax and settle in properly. I also make sure pets are fed good-quality food and follow their usual feeding routine exactly as provided by the owner. I take walks and outdoor time seriously, and the goal is always to get the dogs out a couple of times a day, depending on their needs, energy levels, and usual routine. When I’m in someone else’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions carefully. I stick closely to feeding times, walk schedules, and any specific care needs so the pet’s routine stays consistent and stress-free. In both cases, I focus on keeping things calm, simple, and familiar for the pet so they feel safe and well cared for while their owner is away.

“Megan turned up bright and early to meet Dexter and Darcy and seemed instantly very comfortable with them at ease with dogs in general. She also met Lily our little dachshund. She took Dexter and Darcy for a walk locally to get to know them and everyone was fine. We would be happy to let Megan look after/or walk our dogs again and will be booking her services again.”

About: I have not only grown up with my family dog, Lucy the Dalmatian for 16 years of my childhood, but I have constantly been surrounded with all types of animals and looked after different breeds, sizes and personalities of dogs. I am a trusted dog walker, feeder and sitter of my friends/family pets and I ensure to take care of them as if they are my own and I hope to do the same with yours! I am currently at university (University of Manchester) studying Adult Nursing. Although I take my studies very seriously, I love to use my free time to go on walks, hikes and to the park. With my love of dogs, this free time would be even better spent looking after your dog and having a long, stress-free walk! With the experience of having my own dog, I am knowledgable about potential safety issues and risky environments that they may be exposed to. To ensure this is not a problem, I will take on any information you may have about your specific dog, avoid particular places they may find triggering/give a reaction and be cautious and aware at all times during our walks!! I am also DBS checked!
About: I have looked after many different animals since 8 years old. I have volunteered in rescue for over 5 years! I have cared for loads of different animals, all shapes and sizes. I have cared for dogs with behavioural issues such as reactivity, so due to this I treat every fur baby as if they are reactive as any dog can bite if given the reason! I do have a full time job therefore I will not be available for pet sitting. This also means I take on jobs based off my main jobs rota and times. All care happens at your home, where your pet can relax. I walk your pet around your area. Due to not having current insurance, I will not take your pet in my vehicle or dog parks.

I had peace of mind knowing that Charlotte was walking my dog whilst we were away for a week. He can be reactive with other dogs but with great communication I could see that he was doing well and relaxed with her on his walks. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Charlotte again if we ever need her. Thank you xx

A huge thank you to Daniel! He saved the day by stepping in last minute and was such a pleasure to work with. My dog had the best time, which I could see through the photos and videos during the walk, which made me and friends smile, and it was clear my dog was loving every minute. Communication throughout was exceptional, and he showed genuine care for my dog. I’ll definitely be booking again!
Marshall had an amazing time with Ellie and he was so happy on all the photos Ellie sent to me. Lots of smiles and zoomies. I felt really comfortable with Ellie walking him and had lots of updates on the walks. He was a very happy boy and loves being out with Ellie and that makes me happy 😊😊😊🐾🐾🐾🐾 I will definately be using Ellies services again 😊
