“Christine stayed at my home to look after Skye. She kept me updated and sent pictures. Skye really enjoyed spending time with her especially because she brought home made treats and took her for walks. Would definitely recommend and use again. Thank you Christine”

About: I have a dog, an 11 year old cockapoo called Charlie who've looked after since little. I've also looked after poodles and chihuahuas for friends before. I love going on long walks and playing with Charlie and Id love to do the same with your dog too ! I'm currently a full-time student so I'll be able to walk your dog really any day of the week ! Just give me a heads up and I can be there quick as possible. I have a gated off back garden and a building only people with keys can get access into so it's a very safe and secure area. Also, when it comes to walking dogs in different areas, I'm aware constantly of different potential safety issues (such as roads). Since I've been walking dogs for so long I'm aware of all the little problems like this that might come up whilst on a walk which means that I can prevent any accidents or problems occurring.

“She is truly responsible and has great skills in handling dogs! During the pre-meeting, I could already tell that she was very experienced and comfortable with dogs. ☺️ She walked our dogs and made sure they stayed happy while we were away. She is the best pet sitter! 👍”

“Kay gave us all the information we needed. She met early to discuss & view the house. Bella was very comfortable with her. Kay took her out for a walk & sent a photo to us . That reassured us & made us relaxed for the evening. Bella was sitting on her knee when we returned ,so calm & happy.”

“Lyndsey is nothing short of incredible. She didn’t just look after Dottie, she treated her like her own and cared for her exactly the way I would. She stayed at my house for around a week and took the time to truly listen to all of Dottie’s very specific, very her ways, handling everything with so much patience, love, and understanding. Dottie doesn’t like anyone, so coming home to find her genuinely bonded with Lyndsey, relaxed, happy, and completely herself honestly blew my mind. As an added bonus, Lyndsey left the house cleaner than when I left it, which just says everything about the level of care she gives. I trust her completely and will be using her loads this year, now that I know Dottie is in the absolute best hands possible. 🐾💖”

“Gemma was the best sitter we could have hoped for! She is a lovely and caring person and was so nice with our dog, he can be awkward but she handled him superbly and managed to walk him better than we can! We would not hesitate to use her again in the future!”

“Sophie looked after Monty and Lily amazingly, they instantly took to her at the first meet and greet. Sophie was calm and gentle in her approach with them and was keen to hear all about them and their specific needs. It was the first time leaving Monty and Lily with a non family member therefore I was quite anxious, however Sophie put me at ease and was very understanding. I received photos and updates during my time away which helped massively. I would highly recommend d Sophie and wouldn’t hesitate to book her again.”

About: Hello 👋 I am Ruth, 34 and have a 9 year old mix Pip. She is a rescue and through endless love and training she has blossomed over the years from a nervous, shy, quivering pup into a friendly, confident and loving dog. She is in excellent health for her age and loves nothing more than to zoom around a field! I have trained 3 of my own dogs and believe in a loving, positive approach with sensible boundaries. I am extremely active so your dog will get plenty of exercise! I have experience with dogs from 12 weeks to senior. I am self-employed so have plenty of time to give pets the time and attention they deserve. I am very flexible and can work around you and your furry friend as I can't work from anywhere at any time.

About: I’ve always had a genuine love for animals and have experience caring for both dogs and cats. I provide dog walking, puppy visits, and cat care tailored to each pet’s individual needs.

This means I can often accommodate a range of visit times throughout the day. Pet care is a regular part of my daily routine, and I plan my schedule carefully to ensure each pet receives reliable, consistent care. I also have my own pets, so I understand the importance of balancing time and making sure every animal gets the attention they need. I’m happy to discuss specific timings and requirements to find what works best for you and your pet. All pet sitting takes place in your home, so your pet can stay in a familiar, comfortable environment and stick to their usual routine. This is especially important for both cats and dogs, helping to reduce stress and keep them settled while you’re away. I take the time to follow your pet’s individual routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any specific care instructions. Whether it’s a relaxed walk for your dog or a calm, quiet visit for your cat, everything is tailored to suit their needs and personality.

I’m fully insured, DBS checked, and always respectful of your space. Regular updates and photos can be provided so you can feel reassured and connected while you’re away.
About: Hello. I'm Dan, 34 years old and a lot of free time giving me the opportunity to help you and your pets. I'm an avid animal lover of all types and would welcome all invitations to walk, watch over and treat your best friends as mine too. I like to stay active, keeping a regular walking distance everyday and would happily welcome company on those walks.

I am a licenced first aider with lots of experience fostering dogs and cats in the past with severe medical conditions and other special requirements. In those situations I'm well trained to remain calm under pressure and skilled at assisting your pet in times of need.
“Zoe was absolutely incredible as our house and cat sitter. She sent us so many videos and updates every single day, which we really appreciated- it made such a difference while we were away. She treated our home like her own, and we came back to it absolutely sparkling. It gave us total peace of mind knowing everything was being so well looked after. Most importantly, Percy and Merlin clearly adored her. You could tell from the videos that she’d taken the time to play with them, give them lots of cuddles, and really build a bond... they’d genuinely made a new friend! Zoe is such a warm, lovely person who truly cares. We couldn’t recommend her more - she’s the best person you could trust with your fur babies, and she made our holiday completely worry-free.”


About: I’ve been around animals all my life, growing up with family pets - from frogs to dogs! When I left home and my family dog of 7 years, I knew I needed a furry companion, so along came Crumpet! My 2 year old Golden Retriever. Crumpet has been with me from being 12 weeks old so I am very familiar and confident with caring for young animals. My dog is my baby so I fully understand how much people love their pets—because I feel the same way about mine. My dog is truly part of my family, and that’s why I treat every pet I care for with the same love, attention, and respect I give my own I’m a full-time teacher who’s passionate about pets and available to care for yours during evenings, weekends, and school holidays. When I’m not in the classroom, I’m dedicated to giving your furry friends the love and attention they deserve When caring for someone else’s pet, I treat them as if they were my own—with love, patience, and attention to their unique needs and routines. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, walks, or quiet companionship, I make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved while their family is away
“5 stars. Can't say enough good things about Jatuporn. My dog is big, young, and nervous...not easy! But TJ was very patient and understanding with her, accommodating Jo Jo's sensitivity to get her trust. She quickly found the way to Jo Jo's heart by throwing the football with her (endlessly). And they made progress in trust while I was away. She kept me informed via text throughout my trip so I was never worried. I would recommend her without hesitation to other dog owners who need someone to take care of their dog while they are away.”

About: I absolutely adore pets, especially dogs. I have always been surrounded by dogs between friends, family, and my own dog who sadly passed away recently. I love going on walks or just keeping dogs company at home. Pets are so important, so it’s key to look after them properly. I am moving home for the summer break from university and am looking for some extra money doing something I love. I work for a catering company so my schedule is incredibly flexible. I live with my parents and have a fenced garden. There are multiple parks within half and hour and I love going for walks! My parents both adore dogs, and I have previously looked after dogs in our home.

About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life, caring for numerous dogs of all different types and sizes. I am finishing up my PhD in genetics, I have a passion for animals and have volunteered in multiple animal sanctuaries and I especially love taking care of dogs.

Your dog will get lots of love and everything will be done to make sure your pet has a wonderful stay. Look forward to hearing from you! :)
About: I have taken care of my friend's dogs for over 4 years now, dogsitting, walks and vet appointments, and I feel confident to look after your pets whenever you need.

Paris was absolutely amazing! I was given regular updates every day, I felt really relieved knowing Monty was being looked after so well, and I’d recommend Paris’s services to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, reliable and caring. Paris came to meet Monty before the sit and really took the time to understand his routine, and my home was immaculate when I came back. It was clear Monty had the time of his life while I was away! Thank you, Paris! :) 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
