“Great weekly dog walking service from Mark! He's taken time to build trust with our dog who can get anxious around new people, and now gets absolutely excited about the walks with him, and his updates are always lovely and timely. Thank you so much xx”


“Amanda is super reliable and has helped us out a couple of times with our pup Jarv who looks like he has the best time with her. My partner and I are super grateful - thank you!!”


“Montisha and Eric have been amazing with Pepper over the last couple of visits. She had a couple of walks scheduled but was quite anxious and didn't want to go, so they both adapted to Pepper and stayed home to play and have cuddles instead. Thank you both for being so patient with her and we know she will be in safe hands while we're away.”


About: I've spent 10+ years caring for playful puppies to shy cats, I make sure each pet feels safe, loved and happy while their owners are away. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, or just extra cuddles! I'm a full time stay at home mum, pet care is just part of my everyday life. I plan my day around feeding times and walks depending on what each pet needs. I make sure they get attention, playtime, and any special care, like medication. It’s something I really enjoy, so it doesn’t feel like work to me. I just build it into my day, whether that means early mornings, evenings, or weekend visits. I have a fenced garden, which furry friends can access. I make sure every furry friend feels safe and cared for, I stick closely to the owner’s instructions regarding feeding times, walks, medications, and any special routines. I keep their space clean, provide fresh water, and give them plenty of attention and playtime to keep them happy. I will update the owner regularly to give them peace of mind if required.

About: I’m an experienced in-your-home pet and house-sitter (day and night) which I enjoy and love to do at the same time! Read on to find out more about me and see if I’m a good match for you! I’ve been lucky to have pets to love and care for all my life and having a pet is something I really miss (I cannot have a pet of my own due to my home tenancy being “no pets”). After taking early retirement I am not ready to slow down and this means I have lots of time and love to give! I find the love and affection from pets so rewarding and this is why in the absence of my own I decided to become a pet-sitter - starting out with sitting for friends and family and expanding from there. My pets have been dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters - and not forgetting two very vocal budgies and lots of tropical fish! Two of my beloved dogs were rescues and the breeds/cross-breeds have been from Corgis to German Shepherds, Labradors and mixed breeds. I do have in my life a delightful - and cheeky - Mini Dachshund “grand-pup”! I’ve cared for dogs of various other breeds and many animals with different needs - young, old, small, large, cross-breed, rescue, pedigree and those with medical conditions and special and / or senior needs. I’ve also looked after many cats (indoor and outdoor) and other pets. I’d love you to check out my photo gallery of my own precious pets and those that I’ve cared for. I have no work commitments but I do the occasional craft fair and enjoy visiting friends and family. I have lots of availability throughout the whole week. I offer pet sitting for the day, evenings and overnight. I’m an in-your-home pet-sitter, I will travel to you and look after your pet in your home - and also look after your home at the same time. I can ensure that your dog gets lots of stimulation and movement within your home space and garden. I will never leave your dog alone in your home unless you specify that this is OK and normal for them. I know how hard it can be to trust someone with your beloved pet and know very well how special and very unique the needs of pets can be - I want to reassure you there is no silly request or need I won’t understand. With lots of house-sitting under my belt, I pride myself in how I treat other’s homes and precious things like their pets and home security. I am happy to spend time introducing myself and getting to know you and your pets and to travel to you. I am flexible to your needs and how you like communication to be - happy to follow all guidelines and requirements for your pets and home and to send you updates and photos as regularly as you’d like. "Qualifications and checks" Clear and recent DBS check Personal insurance cover above Rover’s insurance provision (Currently obtaining Canine First Aid Certified and Comprehensive)

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with plenty of hands-on experience caring for pups of all sizes and personalities. I grew up with a big Bouvier des Flandres, and now I regularly look after my parents two golden doodles whilst they are away. I also regularly care for my brother’s speedy little Whippet, so I’m confident handling both gentle giants and high-energy breeds. Whether your dog loves long walks, cuddles on the sofa, or a bit of playtime and structure, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’m patient, observant, and treat every dog like they’re my own. I also understand that every dog has their quirks, so I’ll always follow your instructions carefully and keep you updated with photos and messages. I know how important it is to leave your dog with someone you trust so please drop me and message and let’s chat to see if I’m a good fit for your pup. 🐾 I am currently freelance and usually work 2–3 days a week, so I have the flexibility to fit this in on the days I’m not booked. I have a secure garden and my dogs are extremely friendly and love when other dogs visit. I also live next to a huge park perfect for walks.

About: I have experience in taking care of family and friends dogs including house sitting and taking them on their required walks. I am also more than happy to look after cats and potentially any other animals if required :) I am current studying at uni a few days a week so I have a lot of free time to come take care of your pets giving them the attention they need. To ensure your pets are safe I will follow any given instructions and requirements. I can also send you updates and pictures via your preferred contact method

About: I first became a dog parent 13 years ago to Kevin and George. Kevin has since passed but George is still here snuggled up on the sofa next to me. I have two boys (Rory 11 and Albie 7) who absolutely love all breeds of dogs. I'm not able to commit to owning another but I would love to bring some more furry friends into their lives. We have a lovely woodland walk and a large park just at the top of our road so we don't need to venture far. It gives us the best reason to get out and about. I work full-time as a primary school teacher. I'm about to offer care from Friday evening through to Sunday evening. As a teacher I'm also available in the school holidays. My two boys have all plenty of energy for throwing balls for fetch, family dog walking and all the stokes and cuddles your furry friend could ever wish for! We have our own dog (George) who is nearly 12 years old but everyone still mistakes for a puppy. We have a nice sized home and a good sized fenced garden. George is allowed on furniture and sleeps in my bed. Our home is very pet friendly, he is treated like one of the family.

About: being known as the “ animal one “ of the family my whole life definitely was a great resume for my 12 year old self to start walking, sitting and taking care of dogs. Although i would say my dog experince is 21 years, due to me growing up with dogs as a constant in my house hold, technically from an employee perspective, it’s 8, coming on to 9 years. This time frame working with various breeds, allowed me to gain confidence to go volunteer at a dog rescue shelter in Zagreb, Croatia, which houses over 500 dogs of all shapes, sizes and backgrounds. This experince allowed me to further learn how to work with dogs that need more care and patience, and to truly hands on learn how the care that is provided directly impacts both the dogs future and present. i have just finished my final year of uni so luckily this means my pervious uni timetable is no longer an issue and i can finally look after animals whilst doing no work, like before, but now guilt free ! i understand how important a animals routine and enviroment is, and how it is their territory before it is ever mine, and therefore i will make sure to listen to routine and implement it, and also respect how the animal wants to behave in its home, whilst keeping them safe and secure.

About: Grown up around animals. Had cats and dog my whole life. No longer have a pet after moving out of the family home but I often dog sit for our family dog plum. Happy to look after dogs and make them feel at ease I can do evenings or weekends or weekdays im off. Just message me to see if im free. I will be at home in the evenings and weekends. Live in ground floor one bed flat, I have a small courtyard outside the flat which can be used to let dogs out on their lead. No hazards in my environment and there is open space within the flat. I also live near a park which is great for dog walks

About: Lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on care. Reliable, calm, and attentive—your pet gets personalized attention, not just a walk. Trust built paw by paw.

Dena G.
“I wholeheartedly recommend Dena as a dog sitter! She’s an amazing person who I trust completely with my three dogs – Skye, Lola, and Stitch. From the moment she met them, it was clear how naturally she connects with animals.

Dena is reliable, warm, and genuinely loves what she does. Your dogs couldn’t be in better hands!”

When Emily looks after my pets, I have complete peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands.
