About: I am a compassionate, reliable, and experienced animal care professional with over 8 years of experience working as a Veterinary Nurse, alongside my current role as an Ambulance Clinician. Caring for others has always been at the heart of what I do, and animals have been a lifelong passion of mine. My veterinary background has given me extensive experience caring for animals of all breeds, ages, and temperaments, including those with medical needs, anxiety, or additional care requirements. I am confident administering medication, recognising signs of illness, and ensuring pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Working as an Ambulance Clinician has strengthened my calm, responsible, and trustworthy nature, especially in high-pressure situations. I understand how important it is for owners to know their pets are in safe hands, and I treat every animal with the same care and affection I would give my own. Whether it’s walks, feeding, overnight stays, playtime, or companionship, I provide attentive, personalised care and genuinely love building bonds with animals I currently work shifts as an ambulance clinician, when I schedule pet care it will not be during my working days. My days when I am providing pet care will revolve around the animals normal routine or as close as I can. I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment for every pet in my care. I follow each pet's normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise, medication (if required), and any special care instructions. I make sure pets always have access to fresh water, a secure space to rest, and plenty of attention, enrichment, and supervision. I have a fenced garden and have access to open fields with wooden fencing. When caring for pets in an owner's home, I respect the home and maintain the pet's usual routine to help them feel comfortable and reduce stress. I keep owners updated with regular messages, photos, and reports. Safety is my priority, so I monitor pets closely during walks, playtime, and interactions with other animals, and I follow all instructions regarding health, behavior, and emergency contacts

“Can't say enough good things. First time leaving my 4yo Husky with a seater, I was a nerve rack but Ivy made it easy, constant updates, she made my holiday feel better by keeping me at ease the whole time. My pup was happy the whole time, couldn't ask for more.”

“Laura was absolutely amazing. She kept us updated on how Stan was throughout the weekend and sent us pictures. Stan settled in extremely well and looked extremely comfortable. All I can say is thankyou Laura and that I highly recommended anyone using your services.”

About: Hi, I’m Maria. My husband and I live in Hanwood Park, and together we offer a calm, loving, home-from-home environment where dogs and cats are truly treated as part of the family. I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs of many breeds and personalities — Schnauzers, Cocker Spaniels, Shih Tzus, Boxers, Lhasa Apsos, Weimaraners, and more — as well as cats. Over the years, friends and families have trusted me with their pets again and again, knowing they’ll be loved, understood, and cared for with patience and attention. What matters most to me is that every dog feels safe, relaxed, and emotionally settled while they’re with us. A Home Built on Trust, Not Just Care I know how hard it can be to leave your dog with someone else — they’re family, not “just a pet.” That’s why I’ve always focused on building long-term trust and familiarity with the dogs I care for, rather than quick, one-off stays. Because my husband and I work as a team of two, your dog benefits from: 🐾Constant human presence 🐾Consistent routines 🐾A calm, stable home environment 🐾Never left alone for long periods 🐾Plenty of affection, cuddles, and gentle play 🐾Walks tailored to your dog’s routine and energy level 🐾Access to a garden for fresh air and relaxed time outdoors 🐾Care adapted to your dog’s personality — playful or quiet, young or senior 🐾Regular updates, photos, or videos if you’d like We especially love caring for dogs whose owners are looking for consistency and continuity — a familiar home they can return to whenever you travel, work, or need support. When a dog stays with us, they’re not just being looked after — they’re welcomed into our home and cared for with patience, kindness, and respect. If you’d like to arrange a meet & greet or ask any questions, I’d be very happy to hear from you. We look forward to welcoming your dog My husband and I both work from home, which means your pet will have plenty of company, attention, and supervision throughout the day. We naturally build pet care into our daily routine, including walks, playtime, cuddles, feeding schedules, and quiet rest time. We’re available for boarding during weekdays, weekends, and longer stays, and we always aim to create a calm, loving environment where pets feel safe, relaxed, and part of the family. We provide a calm home environment with a secure garden, consistent routines, and lots of gentle attention and affection. Because there are two of us, pets are never left alone for long periods and always have someone nearby for reassurance and care. We take time to understand each pet’s personality, habits, and needs so they can feel settled, comfortable, and truly at home with us.

About: DBS checked. Doggy first Aid trained. History of being a Dog walker /Pet sitter in the Rutland Area for many years. I have had my own family pets since I was a young child and can look after nearly any pet. I have previously looked after small-holdings which included animals such as Pigs, chickens, horses, goats etc. I am a weekday worker so i do most of this pet care around my full time job so usually update my availability around days off which now tends to be just weekends and bank holidays. Regular walks, toilet breaks. Never left alone for more than 4hours. Meals twice a day morning and evening. Regular stimulants - pre-agreed with dog owner. Arrangement of toys and play if the dog enjoys this.

About: ​Since the age of 10, my life has been dedicated to animals. Growing up on a farm in Portugal, I was surrounded by the heartbreaking reality of stray animals, which sparked a lifelong mission to help. I couldn't turn a blind eye; I brought home every animal in need—from dogs and cats to injured birds. ​Eventually, after endless ignored "no more animals after this one" pleas, my parents finally accepted their fate and helped me build dedicated kennels on our farm. Together with the local community, we provided food, medical care, and a safe haven for these animals until we could find them their forever homes. Through these 17 years of rescue work, I didn't just provide care; I studied animal behavior deeply, learning how to communicate with and comfort dogs of all temperaments. ​Currently, I am the proud parent of two dogs—a Husky and a rescue Collie/Lab—who are my entire world. I know how difficult it is to leave your fur-babies behind, which is why I treat every guest like a member of my own family. ​When your dog is with me, they can expect: * 🌟 Endless Love & Cuddles: No shortage of affection and sofa time. ​🌟 Active Adventures: Frequent walks and play tailored to their energy levels. ​🌟 Paddock Time: I live 10 minutes away from a secure paddock where I take my dogs all the time; I'm happy to take yours for a run there too! ​🌟 A "Spoilt" Experience: I promise to love and spoil your pups just as much as I do my own. ​I truly miss the feeling of being surrounded by "fur" and making a difference in an animal's life. I can’t wait to meet your best friend and give them a home-away-from-home experience! I'm currently studying full time from home so your fur baby will never be alone. Walks 3x a day - morning after and evening I go paddocks often especially in good weather and I am happy to take yours along. ​I offer a safe, loving environment with a fully fenced-in garden for secure playtime. My two friendly dogs provide great company, ensuring your pet never feels lonely. I am experienced with crate training if needed for sleeping or quiet time. Whether in my home or yours, I prioritize a consistent routine, plenty of supervised exercise, and constant attention to keep your fur baby happy and secure.

“Yvette is such a good find, I cannot praise her highly enough. She is a lovely friendly lady and took such good care of Rosie. Rosie loved Yvette and her children and had the best time.”

“I had the absolute pleasure of having Xue look after my two beloved dogs, Dottie and Daisy, and I couldn't be more thrilled with the care she provided. It was evident that Xue had a genuine passion for animals. Dottie and Daisy instantly warmed to her, and it was clear that they felt comfortable and at ease in her presence. Throughout the entire experience, Xue went above and beyond in every way. She not only took care of their basic needs but also showered them with love and attention. I greatly appreciated the daily updates she sent, which included adorable photos and videos. These updates put my mind at ease and allowed me to enjoy my time away without any worries. What truly stood out about Xue was her dedication to ensuring that Dottie and Daisy not only felt safe but genuinely enjoyed their time with her. She took them for long walks and played their favorite games. It was evident that Xue wasn't just a dog sitter; she was a true companion to my pets. I wholeheartedly recommend Xue to anyone in need of a caring, responsible, and devoted pet sitter/boarder. Dottie and Daisy loved her. Thank you, Xue, for taking such wonderful care of my furry family members. We look forward to having you care for them again in the future.”

About: I’ve taken care of my dog Nala since she was 11 weeks old so I have trained her and seen her personality grow since then. Covering her medical needs, I groom her myself and take care of her general day to day care I have also taken care of family and friends small dogs when they’re on holiday and things As Nala is my first pet, haven’t had much experience with older dogs but more than happy to learn and love an old soul I work from home 3-4 days a week so on those days I have a rough schedule that allows me to walk Nala 3 times a day and unlimited time in the garden in between, for example; First walk around 7:30-8am Breakfast Lunchtime walk around 12:30-1:30pm Lunch after Early evening walk around 5:30-7pm Dinner Maybe a last quick toilet run around 8/9pm depending on the day I don’t work on the weekend so if I don’t have anything planned, we can go for long walks or spend the day playing in the garden My husband may also be home on some days working in his office. It’s just the two of us so we will be providing all the care If you trust us with your fur-baby, you can expect them to receive endless hugs and kisses, regular meal times and treats, and the high level of love and care our own dog receives daily We also have lots of family friends with children who may also come for a small time to share the love (we will always say in advance) You can also expect regular and detailed updates about your dog to give you peace of mind while you’re away

“Cassandra was really nice when she took care of Dio for the week we traveled. She was flexible with my time when we met prior the sitting. She was attentive and kept me updated and sent me pictures so it gave me a piece of mind during my Easter holiday. I would definitely recommend her.”

About: Hi, I'm Oli! While I am just starting out with professional pet sitting, I have loved, owned, and cared for animals my entire life. For me, pets aren't just a hobby - they are family, and I know exactly how tough it can be to leave your four legged best friend behind. I am always looking after my friends' dogs when they go away, and I’ve proudly become their reliable friend who they know they can always count on. I also have my own 7 years old Beagle named Barney, so your pup will have a very friendly, experienced companion to hang out with. Whether your pup is a high energy explorer who thrives on long, active walks or prefers belly rubs and lounging around, I adapt completely to their personality and your specific routine. Since I work from home, I am around throughout the day to provide constant company, regular potty breaks, and plenty of attention while I work. You can have total peace of mind knowing they are in a great environment, as I have a spacious house with plenty of room for dogs to relax and stretch their legs, alongside a big, fully secure garden that is absolutely perfect for zoomies and playing fetch. Your pup will never be short on attention, affection, or companionship. I’m reliable, attentive, and fully committed to keeping you updated with plenty of photos and messages throughout their stay so you always know how they are doing. I can't wait to meet your dog and give them the best day ever! My daily and weekly routine is built around an active lifestyle and plenty of pet companionship. I am a first line technical support specialist, and because I work from home, I am around throughout the day to provide constant company and regular potty breaks between my incoming calls. My days start and end with movement. I am very active and I love walking, which means your pup will join me for dedicated, refreshing walks right before I log on for work and immediately after I finish my shift. During the workday, guest dogs hang out with me and my friendly 7 years old Beagle, Barney. They have total peace of mind in a spacious four bedroom house with plenty of room to stretch their legs, alongside a big, fully secure garden that is absolutely perfect for play time. Because I treat guest dogs exactly like family, your pup will enjoy a balance of active outdoor time,and endless daytime companionship. When pets stay in my home, they are fully integrated into a stable, welcoming family environment. Because I work remotely, my setup allows me to provide consistent, background companionship throughout the day while managing my tasks. When I care for pets in the owner's home, my approach is all about minimising their stress by keeping them in familiar surroundings. For drop-in visits, I use my midday break or after work hours to pop in, refresh food and water, clean litter trays, and offer one-on-one attention. If an owner requires overnight house sitting, I stay at their property to provide security and comfort through the night, and I can easily bring my laptop to work right from their space during the day to keep their pet company if required. No matter the setting, I keep owners completely connected to their pets by sending regular, detailed updates alongside plenty of photos and messages.

About: I’ve had dogs since I was 2 years old. I had a German Shepard and a golden retriever. I now have my own cocker spaniel. I absolutely adore animals especially dogs. I had my cocker spaniel trained by 12 weeks old. I’m patient and love getting out with them. I’m sympathetic and care a lot. My dog is my world so know your dogs would be loved and cared for just as much as mine is. Playing, walks or a cuddle they can have it all. I am currently in the middle of a career change so I will have plenty of time to play with your dogs, have cuddles or go for lovely walks! I have a fenced garden with locked gates. The doors are always locked for safety unless the dogs are in the garden where they will be monitored. I have one dog myself she is 3 years old and not spayed. Dogs are never left alone for longer than a hour if I have to pop to a shop and will be let out for the toilet every 2 hours unless needed earlier and will be taken for walks twice a day or three times a day. Dogs will be kept on a lead while on walks regardless of recall for their safety. If dogs are to go in a car to go to a country park for a walk with permission from owner, the dog will always have a dog seatbelt attached to a harness.

“We went to greece last week, and left our French bulldog lucky with Darcey for the week, lucky was well looked after and we was kept up to date with photos and messages and always replied instantly I will definitely be leaving my dog there again when I go away. Thankyou!”

About: Hi, we’re Harry & Dale. We’ve both grown up with dogs and, as a couple, cared for two very different personalities: Max, a high-energy Patterdale Terrier, and Molly, a gentle senior Black Labrador. That experience means we’re comfortable adapting care to suit individual dogs - from energetic walks and play to calmer routines, medication awareness, and senior needs. We’re patient, attentive, and good at reading behaviour, routines, and cues, helping dogs settle quickly and feel at home. Harry works from home most weekdays, so dogs are rarely left alone and can enjoy company, supervision, and regular comfort breaks throughout the day. Our routine is flexible, calm, and built around the dog’s usual feeding, walking, and rest schedule. Our home is relaxed, clean, and dog-friendly, with a secure garden for supervised outdoor time. We keep routines clear and consistent, follow owner instructions closely, and only take on dogs we’re confident we can care for safely and attentively. We don’t have children, and visiting family is always considered carefully around any dog in our care. Clear communication, regular updates, and your dog’s comfort and wellbeing always come first.
