“Great service, sent me pictures of our dog to reassure me. Was able to do my dog sitting at short notice. Also my dog can be naughty on the lead but James was able to handle her no problems. 👍”
“We have used Tracey and Maya twice before, so when it came to leaving our dog and home in safe hands again , there was no hesitation. Our dog is clearly happy when in their company. Our house is left clean and tidy. We get lots of pictures and updates. We will be planning any future holidays where we can’t take our dog around Tracey’s availability. Thank you as always.”
“Lauren, you are brilliant! Thank you so much. Twink was very calm and happy to have us home. She clearly enjoyed her time with you as she did not seem anxious or clingy! Sending photos of her made my day whilst on holiday. She’s looking forward to seeing you again in October 👍”

About: I have a dog and 3 cats of my own. I will leave your house clean after I'm done with sitting. I can take care of your furry friends all around Kettering. Im currently not working so I'm available everyday all day including weekends. Feel free to leave me a message, I'll get back to you as soon as possible. I have a fenced garden, one dog and 3 cats of my own. I unfortunately currently am unable to take care of animals at my place cuz a family member is allergic.
“We appreciate Grace taking care of our cat Hayley while we were away. She was communicative throughout the pet-sitting period, always replying to my messages on the same day. Our cat seemed reasonably happy overall, though she was a bit scared when we returned and hadn’t really eaten her wet food during our absence (which is not like her). That said, it’s not unusual for her to be shy with new people, and we believe the sitter handled things with care. We appreciated the clean space when we got home. Overall, a positive experience.”
“Helen was wonderful with Izzy & Boots and to be honest I think Izzy was a little sad when she left! Our house was beautifully cared for, we couldn’t have wanted for more. We definitely recommend Helen and we will be contacting her again soon. Thank you ?”
About: I’ve taken care of my own dogs for 5 years now and I’ve looked after family friends dogs on multiple occasions. Having pets with health and dietary needs I understand the importance of maintaining routine to ensure their needs are met. I’m currently a student and work part time over the summer so will have plenty of time dedicated to car cuddles and playing with puppies! When house sitting I’ll always ensure your comfortable sending you updates from your fur babies and photos to let you know what they’re up to and how they’re doing. Having two small and delicate breeds of dog I know that safely is vital when handling certain dog breeds and will ensure that your pups are always safe!
About: I have had pet dogs all my life and have had 2 dogs as an adult that I have trained with support of puppy and dog classes. I love spending time with dogs and enjoy going for long walks with them, playing in the garden and snuggling up on an evening. I enjoy brushing and ensuring a dog's coat is in good condition. I work full time at a primary school term time only but am home by 3.30 every day. I am very flexible during school holidays. I have a fenced off garden where dogs can safely play outside, I do have a crate available if needed but am happy for dogs to roam free within the home too
About: Since a young age I have grown up taking care of cats and dogs. My huge passion for animals led me to my first job working as a Veterinary Assistant & Receptionist at Vets4Pets, so I'm well seasoned when it comes to taking good care of four legged friends. I’m responsible and confident with administering medication, grooming and prepared for any situation as I have seen and learned a lot during my time at Vets4Pets. Since then, I have switched careers to corporate but I still share a huge love for looking after pets and have my own goofball at home, a ragdoll kitten called Moose. I was also a proud dog mum to my husky Tibbs (until he sadly went over the rainbow bridge last year at the age of 13). Having a ragdoll and a husky, I am no stranger to looking after very high maintenance and dramatic pets so you can feel safe in the knowledge that your fur babies will be thoroughly spoilt in my care! I work remotely so I'm at home majority of the day and have plenty of time to take good care of your four legged friends and spoil them with lots of walkies, play time and cuddles. Pets are welcome anywhere in my home and can snuggle up on furniture and on the bed with me for plenty of cuddles. I have a large fenced garden and plenty of room to run around and play. I also know from my own experience just how tough it can be to leave your precious fur babies in someone else's care when you go away, which is why I will always send you lots of regular photos and updates during the whole time they are in my care so you never have to worry or wonder if they are okay!
“Isabelle made me feel so comfortable and our dog absolutely LOVES her. Wouldn’t hesitate to rebook. So worth it for the peace of mind that your fur baby/ies are safe and looked after.”

I see myself as the 'cool fun aunt' to many peoples dogs! 🐶 I'm currently working part-time so have plenty of hours each week to help those who are in need of my services. Whether that be a quick toilet break, a dog walk or sitting in for the night, I will try my best to be available. I drive my own vehicle so am able to attend homes easily and can pick up and drop off pets if needed. I can bring supplies of my own, poop bags, water bottles, treats and toys.
