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: I have helped raise a gorgeous little dachshund (she's the dog on my profile), and I loved every second of it. I adore all dogs, of any size, and treat them with love and respect as if they were my own. I provide a safe and comfortable space for them to stay; the right amount of exercise for what your dog needs will be provided; they will be fed exactly according to your instructions. Most importantantly, I can provide you with the peace of mind that your dog will always be in safe, loving hands when you trust me to look after them. I am currently in between jobs, so I will have plenty of time to give your dog the care, attention and play it needs. I can easily adapt my schedule to start early or stay up late to meet your dogs' needs. I live in a spacious two bedroom flat that can comfortably house up to two dogs at once. Whilst I do not have a private garden, there is plentiful walking and green space on my estate for them to go to the toilet, or have a quick walk to burn off some steam. If I am to stay inside your home, I will respect all of your boundaries and requests. I provide updates throughout the service with how your dog getting along, as I know it would definitely rest my mind if I entrusted my dog with a stranger. I take great pride and responsibility when it comes to the care if dogs, and it is also my cherished responsibility to get to know yourself a little bit before you make a decision to let me watch over your dog. An introduction prior to any boarding (provided it is not the first time your dog is staying with me), would be very ideal, not just for your dog to become used to my presence, but for yourself to see me interact with your dog and see first hand the attention and fun we will have!
“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 💛”

“Kate walked my dog Charlie several times this week, and I couldn't be happier with the care she provided. She followed all of my instructions, kept me updated with messages and photos after each walk, and it was clear Charlie had a great time. He always came back happy and well looked after. I would definitely recommend Kate and wouldn't hesitate to book her 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: 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

“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: Hi I’m Maxine a 50 year old Mum of 3 older children, 1 stubborn Tibetan Terrier and 2 lazy cats. I had my own dog walking business for 3 years from 2017 until it ended in COVID. Since recently being made redundant I have returned to dog walking part time and I’m loving being back outside walking. I’m happy to walk dogs on or off lead, solo or very small group walks. My own dog Ralph is reactive and anxious so I’m comfortable adapting to your own dogs needs. I’m currently a full time housewife with 3 teenagers so have plenty of spare time on my hands. I do like to be finished work by 3pm as I still have after school activities. I’m afraid that I don’t offer home sitting or boarding I’m afraid as this wouldn’t suit my cats and dog at home.
About: I have over 6 years of experience pet sitting, caring for a wide range of animals with different needs, temperaments, and routines. Alongside this, I work as a Veterinary Care Assistant, which has given me hands on experience in animal health, behaviour, and welfare. I’m confident handling everything from energetic puppies to senior pets, as well as small animals and more specialised care requirements. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and well looked after while their owners are away, and I always aim to keep their routine as consistent as possible. Whether it’s administering medication, managing nervous behaviour, or just making sure they get plenty of attention and exercise, I approach every pet with patience and care. I’m reliable, attentive, and genuinely passionate about animal welfare. References are available on request. Pet care fits easily into my routine, allowing me to provide reliable and consistent visits throughout the week. I finish work at 4:30pm Monday to Wednesday, so I’m available for evening visits, feeding, and check-ins on those days. On Thursdays, I don’t start work until 11am, which means I’m available for morning visits as well as later in the day. My weekends are completely free, giving me full flexibility for multiple visits, longer stays, or more tailored care depending on your pet’s needs. I live in a house with an enclosed garden, although it’s not very big and there’s no grass. There are many grassy areas and a big field nearby though where I love to take your furry friends on walks! I have two kittens who are still cautious around bigger dogs, but are getting used to them as I do a lot of dog sitting.

About: I love being around animals and have had dogs and horses all my life. Being outdoors is daily life so not matter what the weather I will be out. Happy to work evening and weekend work. I currently work with horses first thing in the morning but then have the day and evening to be flexible with working around people’s needs. Available for dog walking and home checks. I can do home checks where I will be able to spend some time with them in your home. Walking will be done in local areas to the house. Sooo walks unless dogs from the same house hold.
About: Myself and my partner Alex are both animal lovers, from both growing up in pet-filled households, we have looked after all animals from dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters and recently a parrot! We have looked after and had experience with numerous different dog breeds, all shapes and sizes, from Dachshunds to Labradors. We love learning about different breed behaviours and each dogs unique personalities which helps us to care for your pets in the right way. We live in a semi rural area with a large dog field a stones throw away. Our garden is a good size and very secure with grass, perfect for any sized dog. We are currently living without any pets of our own for the first time which is very boring! This is our perfect opportunity to spend time with your furry friends and we can treat them like they are our own. We only take one booking at a time so each dog has our full attention & care like they would in your home. We offer both boarding in our home and house sitting. Both myself and Alex work from home during the week and Alex takes an hour lunch, meaning walkies can be given multiple times a day depending on your dogs needs. We live a stones throw away from a huge doggie field which has multiple trails, perfect for long daily walks. Weekends are usually spent on walks/hikes so can easily include your dog in some fun activities (if wanted) happy to take dogs in the car if comfortable with this for days out. Doggie seat belts/crates can be used if required. Some of our doggie clients have been on trips to Wales and the Peaks with us! We can offer a home away from home for your pet and wish to create a comfortable environment where your dog will be settled and you can feel reassured your pets are being cared for throughout. We are happy to allow dogs on the furniture and have lots of snuggles (if wanted). I can use a crate at night time if that is what you are happy with. With a large secure garden, dogs will have access whenever needed. Fresh water and lots of treats will be on hand at all times, I will work with you to make sure food requirements are met.
About: Will adapt to whatever each individual dog needs and wants, nothing is too much. Any special requirements can be catered for. When I’m with your dog they will have my undivided attention for the entire time I’m with them. I’m a mature student at Open University studying from home. So I’m flexible with my time. Weekends no problem early morning to late evening I’m available twenty four seven. I will walk your dog as many times a day as needed, unlimited toilet breaks all through the night and day. Will give all the love needed.
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!
