Thank you Grace so much for walking Dakota this week. Well not just walking her but even trying to train her a little bit. Really appreciate the effort and communication you put in. She was waiting by the door for you this morning.

Helen was great. My pooch seemed happy and well when I got home after a long day at work. Helen even put one of our escaped hens away - going above and beyond the dog walks we'd asked her to do. I'll definitely book Helen again 😊

Ayanna was absolutely amazing with our two dogs, doing drop ins and walks whilst we were away. She went above and beyond, sending lots of pictures, videos and even mopped to help with any overnight accidents. We are so grateful and will definitely book again, thank you!!

Donna-Lee is very experienced with working with dogs and has an air of authority that definitely caught my husky Zelda's attention! Zelda is typically a laid back and happy girl but can pull when she's excited or fidget when waiting to cross the road. When Donna-Lee and I did our meet and greet I was given some complimentary pointers on how to better manage her as a new dog owner, which have definitely helped! I feel very comfortable leaving Zelda with her. ☺️

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: What sets me apart is my 8+ years of hands-on experience caring for dogs & cats of all ages and personalities. I started in Manchester and now that I’m in Kettering, I’m excited to meet and care for new friends in the area. I offer more than just sitting—I can help with basic training for young dogs & cats provide gentle and attentive care for senior pets, as well as grooming and regular walks. I’m confident handling different temperaments and always adapt to each dog’s and cats needs to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy. I treat every dog& cat as if they were my own, giving them plenty of attention, patience, and care while keeping their routine as consistent as possible. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine as I’m home full-time, which means I can provide constant supervision, attention, and care. I’m available throughout the week and weekends, so pets are never left alone for long periods. I plan my day around their needs—whether that’s walks, playtime, feeding, training, or simply giving them companionship. Being at home allows me to be flexible and responsive, ensuring each pet gets the time, care, and attention they deserve I provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for pets in my home. I have a secure fenced garden where dogs can play, exercise, and enjoy fresh air. Inside, there’s plenty of space for them to relax and feel at home. I also have two small, friendly dogs who are used to being around other pets, including cats, and they provide great companionship. I always supervise interactions to ensure everyone feels safe and comfortable.

About: I love going on long dog walks, keeping them and me healthy! I’ve always looked after my family’s dogs when they go on Holliday and enjoy it so much. I am a full time student, so I would be looking to walk in the weekends and possibly evenings in the summer when it’s light. I am happy to do anything to accommodate for your little pal, I know how special dogs can be in our lives and would treat yours with the respect and love needed.

I have had my own family pets since I was a young child and can look after nearly any pet.

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.

With my current kittens I make sure no windows are open that they can get to and check where they are often so they don't get up to mischief and it will be no different with your fur babies.

About: I understand how important it is for dogs to feel safe and happy while their people are away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, I’ll make sure your dog feels loved I’m taking a break from my career to focus on happiness — and what better way to do that than spending time with animals I adore. I care for pets in their own home by keeping them happy, following their routine, giving plenty of love, playtime, and attention, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away

About: I’ve always loved being around animals and caring for pets has been a big part of my life for many years. Over the past few years, I’ve gained hands-on experience pet sitting for families while they travel, including longer stays where I’m fully responsible for daily routines, feeding, walks, playtime and general wellbeing. I’ve looked after a variety of pets with different personalities and needs — from confident, energetic animals to more nervous or independent ones. I’m patient, calm and attentive, and I always take the time to understand each pet’s routine so they feel safe and settled in my care. I treat every pet as if they were my own and make sure owners feel completely at ease while they’re away, with regular updates and photos if requested. At the moment, I have a very flexible schedule, which means I’m able to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care. While I’m currently looking for a more permanent role in animal care, pet sitting fits perfectly into my daily routine and allows me to focus fully on looking after pets. I’m available throughout the day for feeding, walks, playtime, companionship and check ins, and I can easily adapt my schedule to suit each pet’s needs and routine. I always aim to provide a calm, safe and loving environment where pets feel comfortable and well cared for. Whether I’m caring for pets in my own home or in an owner’s home, I make sure routines are followed closely and that each pet’s individual needs and boundaries are respected. In my home, pets have a secure, relaxed space with access to a large garden for fresh air and play (always supervised and in line with owner instructions). I also live very close to a variety of walking routes, which means I can tailor walks to suit different energy levels - from short, gentle strolls to longer, more active walks. I have a friendly cat at home who spends much of their time outdoors or visiting a neighbour, so I’m mindful of introductions and always prioritise safety and comfort. I would only care for pets in my home if they are happy around cats and if owners are fully comfortable with the setup. When caring for pets in an owner’s home, I treat the space with complete respect and make sure pets feel secure in their familiar environment. I keep owners updated with regular messages and photos for peace of mind.

I have a large garden with a fence all around, the dogs and cats that I care for love running and playing in the garden.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and helped care for our two family pets — a loyal German Shepherd and a mixed breed who’s now 14 years old and still going strong! These experiences gave me a strong foundation in pet care, but it’s my own rescue pup, Theo, who’s truly taught me the meaning of patience, love, and connection. He’s full of character and reminds me daily how special every animal is. Whether it’s lively walks or calm companionship, I care for every pet as if they were my own. I currently work part-time with flexible hours, so I’m mostly at home and able to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. Whether it’s for walks, playtime, or just comforting company, I make sure pet care is a priority. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, their safety and comfort come first. I create a calm, pet-friendly environment with plenty of space, fresh water, and a consistent routine. I follow any instructions given carefully and keep communication open so you feel at ease. I understand the importance of building trust with animals and always give them the time and patience they need to feel secure and loved.

About: I absolutely love spending time with dogs and cats -they’ve always been a big part of my life. I grew up with dogs at home, and for the past 3 years I’ve been walking and sitting dogs here in London. So far, I’ve cared for 15 lovely dogs and cats, and I’m proud to say we’ve always had a great time together! 

I’m experienced with all kinds of personalities — from bouncy and playful to reactive or anxious. I know that looking after pets isn’t just about loving them (though I do that a lot!) — it also takes patience, understanding, and the right approach.

 I work from home Monday to Friday, which means I have a flexible schedule for walks, pee breaks, or just spending quality time with your pet. I love going for long walks and hikes, so I usually walk for 1–2 hours depending on the weather and what your dog enjoys.

When I look after pets, I always send daily updates with pictures and videos — so you can relax and enjoy your time away, knowing they’re happy and well cared for. 

Looking forward to meeting you and your furry companion! I work from home from Monday-Friday. My work schedule is 9AM-5PM with 1 hour lunch break at 12:00. I’m happy to do dog-walks 2-3 times a day. I enjoy taking long walks in the park with dogs so I can guarantee enough daily exercise for your beloved pets. Weekends available too. I live with my cat and my partner in a house with a fenced garden. My cat gets along with any friendly dogs. Dogs are welcome on my sofa and all the rooms.
