“Excellent service from Leanne and Kane. Both were very warm and I felt reassured they would take good care of our cats. They were interested in their different personalities and and what each cat liked. Really good communication whilst we were away with daily updates with lots of photos. Would strongly recommend and would use them again”


“Ilinka has been absolutely fantastic. After our long standing cat sitter moved away we have been a bit worried finding someone new to look after our cat. But Ilinka has been super reliable and doing everything we have needed her to do. We now have peace of mind to go away more and I would recommend her to anyone”


“Really happy with Katie. My cats are an odd bunch and can be quite selective. However they seemed to warm up to her pretty quickly. Visits were done as agreed and I got an update every time. Would most definitely book with Katie again.”


About: I've worked with a number of different animals, mostly cats and dogs, but have experience with small mammals, birds and lizards as well. I do have my own pets which has helped with learning when to look out for a change in health and body language. I can administer any medication if necessary, with direction from the owner, and can provide entertainment and nourishment for each and every animal. I like to keep a clean environment as much as I can, so any messes or incidents I can clean up fine with no issue. I usually have a very flexible schedule, so can work around your day to day plans. I can do short or long term stays, the shortest I've stayed is 1 day and the longest I've done is 2 weeks. I always put the animals needs above all else, their health is my top priority. I can follow instructions and directions from the owner if there any "do's" or "don'ts" they have for their pets. I like to be clear in my communication with any owner and update them whenever I can, so if any problems occur, I will be quick to inform them.

“Excellent service - sent regular photos to reassure our cat we given A* service and well cared for. We had a separate issue with our house and she went out her way to help. Felt very safe with Louise, she knows how to work around our very shy cat and we will definitely lose her again.”


About: My sister has a dog that I take care of regularly. He is a Malshi (Maltese shih tzu mix) and he is now 13 years old! I have trimmed his fur and bathed him multiple times over the years. I take him for walks, to the park and to pick up my nieces from school. I also grew up with a Great Dane. He was my neighbours dog and I used to take him for walks all the time. I work remotely during the week so I can be flexible. I can easily house/pet sit. I am happy to discuss a schedule that suits everyone best I have two cats of my own. I make sure the litter box is always clean and the litter is replaced every few days. There is always fresh water available as well as dry food to graze on throughout the day and wet food pouches given twice daily.

About: I have always had dogs and cats in my house but since losing our last girl I have decided to care for others for a while. I worked for 10 plus years with animals of all kinds and am excited to meet more pets. Your animals board will be tailored to your dog. I have a nice size house and fully secure garden. I allow pets on our sofa and in our bedroom. Alternatively i have a spare room for the more independent of pet. Dogs will be walked twice daily but entertainment and love will be never ending. I am dog nutritionally trained and am an animal first aider. Other than a 20 minute round trip to the school your dog will never be alone. Your dogs routine will be built into our routine. Your dogs care will be tailored by you. I have space for a crate or space at the end of my bed. My garden is fully secure.

About: I’ve taken care of my family’s dogs every Easter ever since I was younger and I’ve absolutely loved it, I love taking them for long walks and teaching them tricks I’ve just graduated uni and am working part time so have plenty of spare time to chill with your furry companions. I love spending my time with animals. I always endure I know whether animals are allowed out into the garden or not, and always double check doors and windows, making sure no one pulls a disappearing act.

About: I've taken care of dogs, cats, rabbits, rodents and exotic animals including amphibians, reptiles and inverts from a young age. I have experience with various breeds, sizes and temperaments and am confident with challenging behaviour in dogs. I'm comfortable caring for all sorts of animals from cats and dogs to tarantulas and centipedes! My routine is very flexible- I have my own elderly dog who now needs much less exercise and a couple of very low maintenance tarantulas- so I am able to provide a diverse range of care depending on your pet's needs. I can provide care in your home as well at pet sitting and dog walking services! However, I am currently unable to board in my home.

About: I am currently a Uni student that loves animals, while I would love to have some, unfortunately I can't, as I am currently living in accommodation, to get around that I decided to try and find some to take care of! :) I have had a few pets ever since I was little, from hamsters, tortoises, birds, dogs and so on. I have taken care of quite a few pets, such as cats, dogs, birds, etc, mostly of these pets were dogs as I am more familiar with dogs and they are my favourite animal. I try my best to spoil the pets, by buying them toys, their favourite snacks and so on. I can do weekends, just contact me to arrange the times as I am usually working. Rest assured that you'll leave your pets in safe hands. I am currently working part time and studying full time, therefore I might need to check my calendar before confirming any bookings, but I am always willing to walking/taking care of your pet(s). Apologies for that! I have experience with many dogs, small, medium and big. I will always make sure that the needs of your pet(s) are fulfilled as well as ensuring a safe environment for them to play/roam around.

About: I’ve grown up around animals my whole life—dogs, cats, even the occasional foster pet—and caring for them has always come naturally to me. Whether it’s going on long walks, keeping up with feeding schedules, or just sitting quietly with a shy cat, I love getting to know each pet’s personality and making sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while their humans are away. I’m calm, patient, and genuinely enjoy being around animals—they bring me peace, and I do my best to return the favor. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine—I enjoy making time for walks, feeding, play, and keeping pets happy and comfortable. Being around animals brings me peace, so caring for them easily fits into my day I focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved—whether in my home or theirs. I follow their usual routines closely, give them lots of attention, and make sure they have a clean, calm space. I always respect any rules the owner sets and stay tuned in to how the pet is feeling so they stay happy and relaxed

About: I've been looking after other people's pets as well as my own for many years. They always take to me and we get along well. I only work part time, so have plenty of free time to look after pets of all kinds. I'm happy to house sit, take dogs for walks or pop in for feeding and cuddles. I'm not able to accommodate pets in my home due to my cat disliking having his home invaded. I'm happy to stay in your home overnight if this would be helpful.
About: I have dog experience for just over a year now I have looked after my families and friends dogs over the year with walking, dog sitting giving them food while they have been away or general walking the dog if the person not able to walk the dog for any reason I have looked after small and medium dogs size I currently work full time during the weekday and my shifts are rotate every week from early one week to late the following week. With this in mind I’m flexible before work so I can do early walk or a late walk and general drop in visit before I am fully available and flexible on weekends I'll will ensure your pets are safe, loved, and well-cared for, providing constant supervision, following routines, and creating a secure, comfortable environment for your pets

About: I grew up around cats, I currently have two of my own, with all care dependant on me. I also used to help my sister walk dogs too (using Rover!) I am able to administer medication like tablets to small breeds but larger breeds may take some getting used to. I am currently in university so pet care is a very ideal option for me, as I still have a lot of availability. I love animals so this is a perfect opportunity. I am fully available on Thursdays, Fridays and weekends and afternoon onwards on Mondays and Wednesdays. We can put any safety steps that you would like me to do, into place, whether that involves using crates, keeping windows/doors closed, etc… if your pet is wary of strangers, I’m more than willing to take the time to build trust with them.

About: Dogs are the best pets in the the world! We sadly lost our family dog last year, however the 14 years she was with us were truly the best years and we miss her immensely. Dogs become an extremely loved member of your family and deserve to be treated with the same love, care and happiness they bring us! I am a teacher who works locally and really enjoy being outdoors given any opportunity! I am looking to fill my time with one of my favourite hobbies - dogs and being outdoors! I will do my best to be flexible and work round you and am happy to drive to where you live to walk your dog. I am very observant and will ensure the safety of your dog is my top priority. I have a dog myself so I know the importance knowing they are safe.

About: I’ve lived with dogs my entire life, but sadly I can’t have one of my own where I rent at the moment, so I am looking forward to meeting other people’s dogs while providing a service at the same time. I can do after 7pm weekdays and anytime on the weekend. I don’t mind long walk, as I love walking and am comfortable walking multiple dogs at once, assuming they aren’t too large. For over twenty years, I have shared my home with multiple dogs, and during that time, they have become an integral part of my life. My bond with them has deepened my appreciation for animals, and it’s safe to say that I am a true dog lover at heart. Having these loyal companions by my side for so long has given me a deep understanding of their nature, and my passion for dogs has only grown stronger with each passing year.

About: Hi! I’m Millie – a lifelong animal lover with a soft spot for both cats and dogs. I grew up with cats, regularly look after my brother’s dogs, and have been the go-to pet sitter for friends over the years. Whether it’s walkies, playtime, or just making sure your pet feels relaxed and cared for while you’re away, I genuinely love it all. I work from home Monday to Friday and really miss having a pet around, so your furry friend will get plenty of attention and company. I also love getting out for walks, so if your dog’s a fan of exploring, we’ll be a perfect match. I’m naturally cautious and caring – your pet’s safety, routine, and comfort come first, and I always treat animals as if they’re my own. Looking forward to meeting your lovely companion! I work from home Monday to Friday, so your dog won’t be left alone and will have company throughout the day. I take regular breaks, which means time for walks, toilet breaks, and lots of play or chill time, depending on what your dog likes. Mornings usually start with a walk, and lunchtime is a good chance to get out again or just hang out together. My evenings are quiet and flexible, so I can fit around your dog’s routine easily. Whether they’re energetic or more laid-back, I’m happy to adapt to what works best for them. I live in a clean, secure flat with plenty of space for your dog to relax and feel at home. While it’s not a house with a garden, it’s a calm environment with enough room for play, naps, and all the essentials. I’m also very safety-conscious — windows and doors are always kept secure, and I only ever take pets out on leads unless we’re in a safe, enclosed area. There are lots of green spaces nearby for regular walks, and your dog will never be left unsupervised. Comfort and safety always come first.

Shelby M.
“Shelby regularly comes and stays at my home whilst I'm away, and has done for over 2 years. She looks after my animals (including chickens and cats) and my home, which can be a challenging space as it's a converted bus, so requires extra attention (it's very hot in the summer and very cold in the winter). I trust her, and am always delighted to come home and find the space clean and welcoming, and the animals very well cared for- they're always so pleased to see her when she arrives, and are calm and relaxed when I get home. She goes the extra mile, always doing more than I've asked for, and the animals enjoy her company so much that I feel like she's a co-parent! She is a prompt communicator, enthusiastic, flexible, and has good boundaries and is able to say no when she can't do something. She also now pet+ house sits for several other members of my family. Shelby is an absolute dream, and I would highly recommend her as a pet and house sitter.”

Throughout our time away, Thomas provided regular updates, ensuring us that our dog was in great hands. When we returned, it was clear how well our dog had been cared for—he was as happy and healthy as ever, with his usual playful energy.
