About: i have had and cared for dogs and cats from a young age, so understand just how important it is to feel comfortable and confident leaving your furry family members in someone else’s care. I treat every pet as one of my own, providing a loving, caring and safe home-from-home environment where they can feel relaxed, happy and well looked after. I know that every pet has their own personality, routine and needs, and i am happy to follow their usual routines as closely as possible. Whether they love long walks, plenty of cuddles, playtime or simply curling up somewhere cosy, I will make sure they receive plenty of attention, love and care while you’re away. 🐾❤️ Your pets’ happiness and wellbeing is my priority, and want you to have complete peace of mind knowing they’re in a loving home. I currently work Tuesday to Friday, 9am–3pm, so I’m available to care for dogs from Friday to Monday and can look after cats Monday to Sunday. I’m flexible where possible and happy to discuss your pet’s individual needs and routine. 🐾❤️ I have a fenced garden and a 11 year old to keep your pet company. I can easily crate your dog if needed. I love going for walks and spend a lot of our time at parks and the beach

“Esme took Harley for a lovely walk and he looked very happy and relaxed in his pictures. As a newcomer to the App, Esme has been very accommodating and I found the report card very reassuring. I wouldn’t hesitate to request Esme again.”

About: I'm self-employed, so I have a flexible schedule to take care of your pet whenever you need me to. I work from home a lot, so I can work anywhere. I provide in-home pet care and professional dog walking services. As a dedicated animal enthusiast, I assure you that your pets will receive the utmost care and attention under my supervision.

“Martine and Teresa were absolutely great start to finish. They replied to our initial request very quickly and were able to drop round for a chat the same day. They were both very friendly and evident animal lovers which gave us great confidence in them. They sent frequent pictures while we were away and gave updates about what our cat Ollie was up to. Highly recommend and would be happy to book again.”

About: The companionship of animals has always been part of my life. Growing up in the countryside our dogs, Kimmy & Lady - Rough Collies & Tramps a Lab/Alsatain cross were apart everyday life and my best friends. For the last five years I've regularly looked after friends' dogs, so I have become accustom to the different rhythms a dog can have, the ones who want a good long walk to settle, the ones who just want you near, the ones who take a little longer to trust a new face and the ones who don't. There's a particular kind of trust that builds slowly over time with an older animal too, a language of small signals, and a practice of paying real attention, which one learns to read. I've also shared my home with cats for most of my adult years, two of whom lived a good life all the way to 21 and 23, so I'm well practiced with the needs of aging pets generally, not just dogs. Right now I share my home with a 12 year old moggie/Norwegian Forest cat, who came to me as a rescue at six and settled beautifully once he felt safe. So I know what it is to live alongside family pets who have their own mind, their own rhythm, and their own way of letting you in. Whether it's a puppy full of energy or an old soul who moves a little slower these days, I meet each animal as they are. No rushing, no forcing, just quiet attentiveness and the kind of care I'd want for my own. If you're picturing your dog settled, unbothered, still themselves while you're away that's exactly what I'm here to give them. I am a self employed sound and movement coach and manage my own appointments & sessions accordingly, so bookings vary from day to day and at various times throughout the day.I also deliver my services online so can be at home so variety, flexibility is why looking after pets works in synergy with what I do, . I find out as much as possible about your pets likes & dislikes, habits and the things you know work well. I'm there to make sure that your home and pet is cared for as if you were there, so keeping things as normal and familiar as possible. favorite toys, sleeping & eating patterns. Discipline & routines eg, re allowed or not on furniture, sit & wait before receiving food. no begging or tip bits, etc.

About: My kitten of 18 years passed away last year, so I now have an empty nest. I know from experience how hard it is to find someone you trust to leave your baby with when you need to go away, so I'm offering a home from home for your pet. I have experience in giving all types of medication, and understanding different behaviours... and most important of all, your pet will be welcome up on the couch for cuddles. I am home all day so they will not be left alone, and can send you updates and photos as often as you wish :) I work from home, so your pet will have my attention whenever they want or need. This also means I can fit in any feeding or medication schedual. I will also be free to contact any time. I am home all day, so your baby will not be left alone... unless that's their thing! If they're young and want play time, I'll be there to play... or if they're a bit older and just want to lay on the couch and get stroked I can do that too :)

About: I have owned and taken care of dogs for most of my life and in the last 5 years have started to take care of friend's cats too. I have experience with rescue dogs, young, and elderly dogs, and cats, and other small pets as well as those with medication needs. I am currently working full-time and completing a degree apprenticeship which allows me flexibility with working from home and one study day a week which is online meaning I am at home. I do not work evenings or weekends and have breaks throughout the day for walks and visits. I have a fenced garden at my home with my rescue dog, Oscar (9) who is friendly and playful and 2 guinea pigs, Bueno and Rolo who have their own secure room upstairs. I live opposite a large country park where Oscar and I go for walks.

About: I currently have a cat, who I have been the loving parent of and caring for, for 5 years now. I also grew up with Boxer dogs, helping to raise them, look after them and train them from the young age of junior school until and including now, nearly 20 years later! I get on very well with dogs and cats, I love to be around them and I’m more than happy to play, feed, and help in other ways. I’m very reliable and can have availability on short notice! I have a very flexible schedule as I can move most things around, and can be available at fairly last minute notice too. I don’t do any boarding but I’m happy to stay at your home in the day or overnight as well as (or alternatively) I can do drop in visits. Monday and Tuesday evenings as well as Tuesday mornings I cannot do but any other time is quite flexible. On the dog side: I have experience with larger breeds as well as puppy’s and very excitable and jumpy breeds. On the cat side: My cat was a rescue stray so I know all about giving them their time and space and I’m very understanding about how overwhelming changes can be for them. I would love too have a conversation about your furry friends needs so that I can provide the best care for them! I’m also more than happy to put medication on food but not to administer injections, inhalers or pill swallowing.

“Jenna took wonderful care of my cat while we were away. She gave her lots of special attention and is clearly great with animals. I really appreciated the photos and updates too.”

“Sophie has been great, she comes to let my dog out while I'm at work. My dog has had some ongoing medical bits going on and Sophie has taken it all in her stride. She leaves great updates so you don't have to worry. I would highly recommend!”

About: My mum and I have lived with dogs and cats are whole lives. We have a sausage dog named Charlie who is the beloved baby of the family. We also have two cats: Lola and Leo. Charlie and the cats gets along wonderfully with small dogs- the more little doggos around, the merrier! We provide a calm, cozy, and pet-friendly environment where your dog will be treated like family. My mum and I both work from home, so there will always be someone around to give your dog attention, playtime, and regular toilet breaks. I’ll be starting my Master’s program in September, but she’ll be happily continuing with dog sitting while I study. Our fenced garden offers a safe space for outdoor time, and Charlie enjoys popping in and out through the cat flap. I’ll be home everyday to take the dogs for walks if desired and give them plenty of playtime and cuddles. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I’ll follow your routines closely to help your dog feel comfortable and secure. I treat every home and pet with the same respect and care I would want for my own.

“Tanya did a great job looking after our cats and left detailed reports each day. Highly recommend!”

About: I volunteered in a dog groomer parlour when I was younger, since then I have got my own dog whom I love dearly. I puppy trained her myself. I have been responsible for neighbours pets also, from cats and dogs to horses! I have just qualified as a paramedic and therefore have some time off where I am extremely flexible and would love to work with animals everyday. I live in an apartment but surrounded by greenery, it is lovely and cozy! I am more than happy to do walks, games and toilet breaks regularly! I also have a car and drive so can travel to pick up and drop off your fluffy friends.

About: Hi! I’m Eszter and I’m a reliable and caring animal lover based in Southwater. I’ve always been around dogs and genuinely enjoy spending time with them—whether that’s long walks, playtime, or just keeping them company. I understand that every dog has their own personality and needs, and I’ll always make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while they’re with me! I’ll treat your dog like my own and keep you updated with photos and messages so you have peace of mind. 😊 My work schedule is very flexible and I have plenty of days off to look after your fur baby! I also have a car and I don’t mind if it gets dirty after a big walk. I live right next to a park so it’s super easy to go for big walks. I also have a small garden if your dog wants some fresh air!

About: I have always been around animals, growing up my mum had her own pet sitting/ dog boarding business around 18 years ago which she did for 10 years. Therefore my school holidays I used to go along with her to help care for all sorts of animals, from pugs to bearded dragons! I then went onto have my own dog walking business when I was 15 which I did for 3 years. I've had numerous animal related jobs, kennels, dog groomers, pet shops and all have positively commented on how much of a natural I am around animals. I am now in my career job as airline cabin crew, however to get the both of best worlds, I have returned to my work with animals on days I'm not at 38,000ft! I care for all animals as if they are my own, and how I'd expect someone to treat my animals if they was in someone else's care. That is with love, affection, plenty of attention, and meeting all their individual needs, wether it is behavioural or extra tlc such as medication I am more than comfortable to cater for different needs. I am a short haul flight attendant however as winter draws in hours are less than higher season months, therefor I am very flexible and can care for pets on my days off/whilst working as hours are shorter. I treat each pet to its own individual needs, I believe all pets have their own differences, some need more time to trust people where as others may need more exercise or gentle love and care. With your home, I treat it with the same respect and morals I'd expect someone to stay in mine with, staying clean and organised.

About: I come from a large family that has always had both cats and dogs, and it was a requirement that everyone in the family help out, but I always found myself drawn to be the one who took care of the dogs. This has continued to be true and whenever friends or family needs a dog sitter I'm the first to volunteer. I have experience with walking dogs on many different types of leads and collar/harness'. I also have experience with crate training dogs. I've currently taken a sabbatical from working in childcare to work on my book. This gives me lots of time to play with dogs and cats, and doing so will keep my enthusiasm high. I have experienced multiple different dog training programs over the years and one thing I've learnt is that all dogs have their own unique foibles that have to be catered for. At the same time all dogs that I've met are always happiest when kept within a routine that they can recognise. This is why I will always be willing to hear how you care for your dog so that I can ensure that they are as happy as possible. Whether that simply means ensuring a certain blanket is always visible or having a particular treat at a special moment.
