“A huge thank you Shelby, Boris and the cats had a great time with you 🤗 I missed them all but I knew I didn't need to worry because I knew they were in capable hands. Also regular updates on how they was doing, put my mind at ease. This is the first time I have left my animals in someone else's hands and am just so glad it has been a positive experience. Thank you Shelby!”


“Dog Sitting (Clients Home) Booked Kate at short notice - despite an early start, Kate was very accommodating Kate asked all the right questions re medical history, food and walk routine and provided regular updates via WhatsApp which was lovely to receive and reassurance that my dogs were happy and being well looked after. Can be trusted in the home and with a key. DD, Roxy (and their family) were very happy with the service. Highly recommend and would use again. Thank you”


About: I grew up with dogs, I beleieve their first language is love. They can feel it. A life without dogs is lifeless, I've been told my house is the 'Dog Rehab' They always leave feeling better. I work in media from home,i need walks as much as my dog because I beleieve it's essential to take a break from the screen and refresh my mind. Pets get alot of love and frequently rewarded in my home for just being beautiful animals. I have lots of treats. They love to be around me, but I do give them freedom to explore the home. Nothing dangerous around the flat as it's a pretty minimalistic w comfy rugs in the living room and dog beds in my room.

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.

“Leanne and Kane kindly looked after our 2 Beagles whilst we were away on holiday. It’s always a little apprehensive leaving your house and importantly your dogs in the care of others but Leanne and Kane are exceptional. We had regular updates and photos of how the dogs were getting on and they were both very respectful of our home and the routine the dogs have. The dogs are the best judge of character and you can tell they both loved being with Leanne and Kane- so much so, we think they wanted to leave with them when we came home! No hesitation in recommending and will use again, thank you guys”


“Ruth's nature calms me! So knowing Mabel is going to have a lovely time let's me go about my day with peace of mind. And of course Mabel is Ruth's biggest puppy 🐶 fan ❤️🐕 Many thanks from us both Ruth 🐾😁”


About: At Fluffy Floofs, your dog’s happiness, safety, and well-being come first. I'm Rosie, a lifelong dog lover turned professional dog walker & sitter. I’m certified by the Modern Dog Walkers Association (MDWA) & trained in Canine First Aid. Whether it’s a fun-filled walk, drop-in visits, home boarding or tailored care for your pup’s unique needs, I treat every dog like one of my own. I’ve completed various specialist courses, and I’m always learning new ways to support your furry best friend. Based locally, fully insured & DBS checked, I offer a friendly, flexible, and professional service that’s built on trust, love, and a whole lot of tail wags. 🐶 I work part time from home, so I’m available to give your furry bestie attention and supervision all day. I start each day with a morning walk and breakfast for the floofs in my care. Throughout the day, I offer plenty of playtime, training, toileting, and quiet time depending on each pet’s energy level and preferences. In the evenings, we wind down with a gentle walk and some cuddle time. On weekends, I love taking dogs to local parks or trails for extra exercise and enrichment. I also do weekly grooming checks—brushing, nail trims, and ear cleaning if requested. Whether your pet is high-energy or prefers a calm environment, I tailor my routine to make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. In my home, pets are treated like family. I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment with plenty of space to play and relax. Daily routines include morning walks, regular toileting in my fully fenced garden, feeding on schedule, and lots of playtime and cuddles. I maintain a calm atmosphere and follow any specific instructions you provide, including dietary needs or medication schedules. I also offer enrichment activities like puzzle toys, basic training reinforcement, and socialization (if appropriate) with my 2 friendly floofs. Your pet will have access to cozy sleeping areas and supervised outdoor time. When caring for pets in your home, I aim to keep their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I follow your instructions closely—whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or administering medication. I respect your space and ensure your pet feels safe and comfortable while you're away. I will also provide updates with photos and notes so you know how your pet is doing. For house sitting, I maintain your home’s security and cleanliness, and I’m happy to take care of small tasks like bringing in mail or watering plants. I’m a proud registered member of the Modern Dog Walkers Association (MDWA), and I’ve completed their Professional Dog Walkers Course, including passing the assessment. I’m also trained in Canine First Aid, so your pup is in safe hands in case of emergencies. In addition, I’ve completed several basic dog training courses, including loose lead walking and recall masterclasses. I’d be more than happy to incorporate these skills into our walks if that’s something you’d find helpful! 🐾 I’m fully insured and DBS checked, so you can feel confident that your pet—and your home—are in safe, trustworthy hands. Your pet’s safety and your peace of mind are my top priorities.

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 lived all my life around animals , especially dogs and cats and would be lovely to have some pet company in our house . We are a frendly quiet family I am a mom not working at the moment. I stay home with my nearly 2 years old daughter. So we are full time free for pet sitting . My fiance, Gabriel, is working full time job and when coming back home normally we go for walks or parks for half hour , one hour depends on the whether . We have a spacious house and a lovely fenced garden. I don’t provide any toys or food for dogs or cats. But they can easily play with old baby toys haha

“Ina is wonderful. I’ll get straight to the point. She’s reliable, attentive and caring. An absolute pleasure to work with. She took fantastic care of my two Frenchies. I’ll definitely contact her again if I have to go away and I would recommend her to anyone and everyone looking for someone to care for their dogs.”


“David stayed at my house & looked after my senior dog. I was extremely anxious about leaving him for a week. David arranged to visit my dog 3 times before I went away. Despite being a senior, my dog is still very excitable & can be a “bit much” when he meets new people. However this did not phase David who took it all in his stride. I received regular updates & adorable photos while i was away which put my mind at rest. There was a few days of extreme heat while I was away but David made sure my dog was kept cool & out of the heat. My dog clearly felt happy & relaxed with David & the photo of my dog cuddled up with David proved that. My house was clean & tidy when I returned. I would recommend David to look after your dogs & would certainly book with David again.”


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: I was an au pair in Australia looking after three kids and three dogs, two toy poodles and one regular sized poodle, the large poodle had issues with other dogs so learnt how to deal with that. Was the main care giver for them during the week and made sure they were fed,walked and happy. I have since cat sat for a number of friends who have gone abroad, from 4 days up to 3 months. I work from home full time, my housemate has a dog so he is home with me during the day. My work is very flexible so I can go for walks at anytime during the day when I don't have a meeting. I do have to go into the office on certain days during the month but I will inform you if you visit coincides with one of these days. I have a small fenced backyard so am able to let the dogs our into the back for a run around, I also live a short walk from the forest which I love to go walk around. I'm happy to have dogs/cats in my room if they are more comfortable sleeping with someone or happy to set up a crate if this is better for the dog.

“Terisa looked after our elderly dog overnight and we were very happy that his needs were well catered for. Terisa took care to make sure he was happy and kept us updated throughout the stay. We would happily re-book Terisa”


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.

I provide loving, personalised care by looking after pets in their own home, giving them the comfort and routine they’re used to without any added stress.

About: I grew up with a Frenchie named Coco—she was truly part of the family. Since her passing, I’ve missed the joy of caring for a dog.

I’d genuinely rather spend my time with dogs—it’s something that brings me joy and keeps my days meaningful.
