About: I have had many pets over the years. From a donkey, goats, chickens and of course dogs! I stumbled across offering care for other people's dogs by accident really, but it works really well. I care for our extended family and friends dogs in our home while they go away on holiday. I lost my gorgeous dog four years ago and miss him terribly. I decided this would be a great way to enjoy having the company of a dog again. My dog was a whippet so I know what a good walk looks like! I am are registered on trusted house sitters and have five star reviews from all our sits. I have no dogs myself so your dog would be the only dog to be cared for whilst with me. They would fit in as my pet for the duration of their stay. If I stayed in your home you could rest assured I know how to look after a home. I have been married for over 40 years. I have an acre garden so grass cutting does not faze me either.

About: As a dedicated animal lover, I bring genuine passion and care to pet sitting. My deep affection for animals ensures that every pet under my care receives the love and attention they deserve. I understand the importance of their well-being and go above and beyond to create a safe, nurturing environment. With experience and a natural rapport with animals, I provide reliable and attentive pet sitting services, making sure each pet feels happy, comfortable, and cherished. I work normal 9-5 hours, Monday to Friday. My social life is almost non existent anyways which means as soon as work is done I am free! I take exceptional care of my cat, ensuring she has a comfortable and loving home. From providing a balanced diet and fresh water to maintaining a clean litter box, I prioritize her health and hygiene. Regular playtime and affection are part of our daily routine, fostering a strong bond and keeping her active and happy. I stay vigilant about her health, scheduling regular vet check-ups and promptly addressing any concerns. My cat's well-being is my top priority, and I strive to create a nurturing environment where she feels safe, loved, and content, and I hope to provide the same with your furry friends!

About: Hi, I’m Raychl! Im 31 years old and have been caring for animals of all breeds, shapes and sizes for as long as I can remember. From tiny basset hounds to giant Newfoundlands, i have experience with a variety of breeds. I have spent many years training, handling strong dogs, managing separation anxiety etc. Recently I have had to leave my previous job due to a health issue and this has given me a lot more free time to spend caring for pups who need a home away from home when their parents are busy. If you need a safe space with plenty of company and cuddles for your pup, please reach out! Im currently working part time fully from home so I have all the freedom to look after your pups. I only work a few hours a day from my laptop at home so we will also have time for plenty of walks and playtime in my garden after the couch cuddles have had their time. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. When caring for dogs in their own home, I stick closely to their normal routines—feeding, walking, and playtime—so they feel secure and relaxed. I make sure doors and gates are always properly secured, and I never let dogs off-leash unless in a safe, enclosed area. When pets stay with me, they have a calm, nurturing environment where they’re treated like part of the family. I provide plenty of love, walks (including beach strolls when suitable), fresh water, and a cozy space to rest. I’m also trained to watch for any signs of stress or discomfort, and I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel at ease knowing your furry friend is happy and cared for.

The fences are high and sturdy so your fur baby will be safe and have fun to run around with my best friend Frankie.

Michael H.
“I have known Michael for many years. He is a kind person who is always willing to help. He is real dog lover and has a really nice way with dogs and all animals alike. I regularly walk my dog Ollie with him and his dog Frankie. Michael helps me at school pick up times so I can go onto the school yard by looking after Ollie for me at the gates. He offers his help whenever he is there. His own dog is lovely and very well trained and very sociable. He would be someone I would trust to take care of Ollie if I was needing this service. I know Ollie would be well cared for and loved as his own.”


Chloe H.
