It was immediately clear that Mary is super comfortable with any challenges a dog might throw at her, and I had no worries at all about her taking Romy on off lead walks. Mary was flexible and very understanding about the fact that Romy didn't allow for much sleep during her stay. The house was also left perfectly, and we got regular updates. Very reliable and lovely. Thanks Mary!

Pavan came and spent a day with the dogs, he is very polite and well educated and demonstrated to genuinely love dogs. He paid attention about their food and medication needs so she can do it in the future and showed a very good attitude.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 12, both in Portugal and England. From energetic puppies to gentle senior dogs, I’ve looked after a variety of family pets over the years. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime, and giving each dog the individual attention they need. Caring for dogs has always been a natural part of my life, and I treat every pup as if they were my own—patiently, lovingly, and with plenty of cuddles. I’m currently working part time, i have time in the afternoon and evening also nights to take the dog for a walk or stay at your home with the dog. I can also look after more than one and also cats. I stay with your dog in the comfort of their own home, keeping their routine consistent and giving them plenty of attention, affection, and supervision. Daily walks tailored to your dog’s energy level, whether it’s a gentle stroll or a fun, active walk. I follow your dog’s feeding schedule carefully, ensuring they always have fresh water and the right meals at the right time. Engaging play sessions, mental stimulation, and activities to keep your dog happy and entertained I’m young and active. I can handle simple care tasks like brushing, wiping paws, and giving oral medication if needed. Light household tasks such as bringing in mail, watering plants,also cleaning (as I work in private homes as a cleaner), and keeping things tidy while you’re gone.

About: I have lifelong experience caring for dogs and studied canine behaviour for two years. I am responsible, caring, and consistent in my approach, and I work hard to support positive behaviour. While not a specialist, I have strong foundational knowledge and ensure every dog in my care is well-behaved and well-looked-after. Pet care is a core part of my daily routine. I work full-time as a dog walker/handler, so my days are structured around walks, feeding, training, and providing consistent care. I also have two small dogs of my own—Sheeva (12) and Poppy (11)—which keeps me experienced and engaged every day. Caring for dogs isn’t something I fit in around life. It is my routine, and I truly enjoy giving each dog the attention, structure, and affection they need. I mainly provide care in my own home, where dogs enjoy a clean, tidy, and comfortable environment. There’s plenty of indoor space for them to relax, as well as a fully fenced, safe garden for toilet breaks and supervised outdoor play. I maintain a calm, structured routine and make sure each dog receives the right balance of attention, exercise, and affection. I treat every dog as if they were my own, ensuring they feel secure, welcomed, and well cared for throughout their stay.

Anna is not just a great pet sitter, but she is also an amazing and kind person! She kept us updated all day with videos and photos of our baby. Loullie is not just a pet for us, she is like our daughter and it is wonderful to know that we found a person who cares and not just understand that, but also treats her with all love and attention she deserves. We will trust Anna to look after Loullie always we need!

Joe stepped in and really saved our holiday by agreeing to house sit Millie for us. We exchanged several messages and pictures whilst we were away which reassured us everything was ok. When we got home we found Millie was quite happy and had obviously been well looked after. Would definitely use Joe again - thank you so much Joe.

Alex is absolutely wonderful, inside and out! We cannot recommend her enough. We felt very comfortable having Alex dog sit our cockapoo in our home and received daily pictures and updates, which was very lovely to see our pooch so happy and loved whilst being away. We returned to a very happy dog and clean, warm home. She certainly went the extra mile for us. Thank you again so much Alex, we are certain Nellie will miss you and look forward to using your wonderful services again soon.

Katherine was fantastic with Gromit while we were away. She was very communicative and kept our home very tidy too! She ensured that he had everything he needed and even took him to play with her own puppy which he enjoyed a lot! Our trip was completely stress free knowing he was in such good hands. We will definitely have her back to help with him again!

About: I am absolutely crazy about animals and am so happy to now be able to combine my love of animals with a job I am so happy to go to day in day out. I can't go anywhere without stopping to chat to and stroke any cats and dogs I meet along the way and have a natural affinity to animals. I offer a very personal service and treat all my ‘furry, customers as I would Chessie and Crispy, my own cat/hamster. A lot ot of my customers say I give their pets better treatment than they even give themselves. I live in Borehamwood, Hertfordshire and cover Borehamwood, Radlett, Shenley Well End and can do other local areas too for an additional fee to cover travel etc Happy to provide references on request. I am a self employed pet sitter so I have lots of time to look after your pets. I work during the day, weekends and evenings & can do some overnights too. I look after all pets in their own home as I strongly believe this is where they're most happiest and it means I can follow the same routine as you do too in a familiar environment.

I couldn’t be happier with how Debra and Bearsac looked after Bella and Sasha while I was away. Debra was incredibly patient and attentive, and it really shows - both girls looked happy, relaxed, and very well cared for when I returned. It gave me real peace of mind knowing they were in such loving hands. The house was spotless, everything left just as I’d hoped (or better!), and the communication throughout was brilliant. I received regular updates, which made me feel totally at ease while I was away. Thank you, Debra and Bearsac, for treating Bella and Sasha like your own. Highly recommended!

Requested a puppy-sit in my home while I went out for the evening. My little puppy was clearly comfortable when I returned, despite being shy when I first left. Jess gave me an update with a photo mid-evening, which helped me feel relaxed (and less guilty!) When I got back she talked about everything they'd done together - including practicing sit and learning 'lay-down'. Very happy with her help for the evening, especially given it was a somewhat unusual request.
