“We could not be more pleased with Joana staying to look after our girls. She agreed to meet us and the cats ahead of time, which really put us at ease for her overnight stay ahead. During the stay, she was attentive to the girls needs (especially in the heat) and even was shown so much affection by Pixie, our timid cat who is slow to open herself to people. It just goes to show how amazing Joana is with animals! The frequent photo updates were also great, so we could see how happy and healthy the girls were. We would absolutely trust her again with our cats and are so thankful she stayed to look after them overnight. Thank you, Joana!”


“Jason and his wife were brilliant. They were great at keeping us updated about the cats and sending us photos. And the cats seemed quite happy with them!”


“Ada was great! I have a very tentative cat but I could see he was comfortable with her. She has a very calming presence which I think is very good for the pets. She sent me several pictures and put me to ease too. Great job!”


About: For the first time in both our lives, childhood included, our household doesn’t have a dog in it. We have lots of experience working with dogs having spent 2 years working as full time dog walkers so are comfortable walking and looking after a whole variety of dogs, big and small, from our seniors in their twilight years to the puppies who need reminding of what their commands are! As a student, Jess has a pretty flexible schedule, it often varies but she spends lots of time at home studying and a study break to walk a dog is always welcomed! Ben works full time and looks after dogs on his days off. When making a booking, you will always be informed whether it is one of us providing your pet’s care, or both of us. We don’t have an enclosed garden but all that means is lots more trips outside. Our home is fully dog safe, we used to have a dog ourselves so we still have plenty of toys and bits and pieces.

“Megan made a home visit to check in on my dog. She communicated very well, before, during and after the visit. Tickey was very well cared for and I have no qualms about recommending her.”


About: Lifelong experience, living with and raising family pets . Big and small we have loved them all. Cuddles and walks galore your fur baby will never want for more I currently work just 2.5 hours a day, Monday to Friday, and I’m available 7 days a week — so I have plenty of time to give your pet the attention they deserve. Whether it’s walk time for dogs or quiet companionship and playtime for cats, I’m home the rest of the day to keep them happy and comfortable. I can stick to your pet’s usual routine and provide lots of love, care, and company throughout the day. Pets in my care are treated like family. At home, we have a fully fenced garden for safe outdoor play and a cozy, calm indoor space where pets can relax. Our friendly French Bulldog loves company, and our two cats are dog-friendly and used to having other animals around. I always do slow, supervised introductions to make sure everyone feels safe and comfortable. Whether your pet is staying with us or I’m caring for them in your home, their safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities — along with sticking to their usual routines and giving them lots of love and attention.

“Poppy looked after our cat Cilly for just over a week and would recommend! She reassured us instantly through both understanding routines and being caring and attentive toward our cat. She shared regular updates whilst we were away, our cat needs medication am & pm and Poppy kept us up to date with messages to share an update each time she visited on this and other details. Would definitely want poppy to look after our cat again!”


“When I say Robert really went above and beyond I mean it - he was so knowledgeable about animals in general and just brilliant with our cat Jolene. He took excellent care of her over the Xmas period, sending frequent updates, pictures, and administering her medicine and all care. She absolutely adored him and seemed happy and relaxed when we returned. I really can’t recommend Robert highly enough. He was also really flexible and patient with us when we were unsure whether to leave her for Xmas or not (due to health issues). We’ll definitely use him and again and also plan to hire him for help with dog care too. Excellent experience all round, thank you Robert!”


“Amy was amazing and Angus loved her. She spent time playing with him and made sure he had clean water and food. Amy kept me posted regularly on how he was doing. Angus was a happy cat when we got home. Highly recommend and will definitely use again.”


About: I’ve been taking care of animals from a young age and I’m very passionate about them, I took to volunteering at a dog hotel because I wanted to be in that environment and learn to care for them, and have been caring for peoples pets for a long time ! I’m currently on my summer break before my final year at university, however I have been taking care of peoples pets during my term times and always make time to ensure the animals feel love and cared for especially while their parents are away ! I have a small garden but easy access to grass areas and enriching walks if needed and have a lot of experience with caring for animals in their home or my own

About: From an early age I would always beg my family & friends to be able to walk their dogs, and would be out for hours walking & playing with their dogs when they let me. I would make the lengthy trip to stay with my gran so that I could cuddle up to her two labradors. I would always be out in the garden playing with them, and I helped care for them when they got ill. When my friends go away I tend to go over and look after their dogs, feeding them, washing them, walking them, and having fun with them! I work part time, so can fit all dog walking around my schedule in order to benefit you & your pet! This also means I can be available last minute. Whether it’s an early walk, a late walk or any time of the day, I will ensure they get a lengthy walk, some good exercise, have some fun, and not come back too dirty! From my experience of looking after animals and pets I know how important it is to follow the owner’s instructions, as they know best, in order to keep the pet safe and comfortable! Whilst walking your pet they will always have my full attention, especially on main roads and when off leash. I will care for them as if they are my own!

About: I have a 4 year old Italian Spinone Truffle, 12 year old main coon cat Boris and 2 Rabbits. I regularly look after pets for friends and family and also host pets in our house which has a secluded garden. I take dogs on long walks in local parks mornings and afternoons I am currently working part time. I take dogs on long walks in local parks mornings and afternoons. I do let dogs off the lead if they have a good recall and with owners consent. My family house has a well fenced off secluded garden and numerous parks nearby for dog walks. I can look after pets at our house or visit them at yours.

About: For over a decade, I’ve cared for my own dog, giving me deep, personal insight into what pets need to feel safe, happy, and loved. From daily walks to vet visits, picky eating habits to playtime routines, I’ve handled it all with patience and care. Pet care is a meaningful part of my routine. After spending 12 wonderful years caring for my Shetland Sheepdog, I developed a deep love for animals and an understanding of their needs. Although my dog has passed, I still find comfort and joy in caring for pets as if they were my own. As a housewife with a flexible weekday schedule, I’m available for dog walks, check-ins, or companionship during the day. Whether your pup needs exercise, affection, or just someone to keep them company, I’m here to help with kindness, reliability, and genuine care. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. In a pet owner's home, I always follow their instructions closely, maintain their pet’s usual routine, and treat their space with respect. I make sure doors and gates are securely closed, walks are done with care, and pets are never left unattended in unsafe situations. I provide regular updates and photos so owners feel at ease while they’re away. I create a calm, loving environment where pets feel comfortable and secure—just like I did for my own dog for 12 years.

About: I am currently a Uni student that loves animals, while I would love to have some, unfortunately I can't, as I am currently living in accommodation, to get around that I decided to try and find some to take care of! :) I have had a few pets ever since I was little, from hamsters, tortoises, birds, dogs and so on. I have taken care of quite a few pets, such as cats, dogs, birds, etc, mostly of these pets were dogs as I am more familiar with dogs and they are my favourite animal. I try my best to spoil the pets, by buying them toys, their favourite snacks and so on. I can do weekends, just contact me to arrange the times as I am usually working. Rest assured that you'll leave your pets in safe hands. I am currently working part time and studying full time, therefore I might need to check my calendar before confirming any bookings, but I am always willing to walking/taking care of your pet(s). Apologies for that! I have experience with many dogs, small, medium and big. I will always make sure that the needs of your pet(s) are fulfilled as well as ensuring a safe environment for them to play/roam around.

About: With over 10 years of experience caring for my family and friend’s dogs (of various ages and breeds), I provide loving, dependable care. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or cleaning up mess, your dog will be in the right hands! I work part time (freelance) so my schedule is very flexible. I can easily work around my job in order to be there for your pet, however I will need at least a week in advance for bookings! I only offer pet care in the owner’s home (as there’s too much going on in my house!) I can either drop in and out for feeding, walks, toilet breaks, or I can stay over/house sit. Whichever you prefer!

She’s incredibly respectful of our home, always leaves things tidy, and even takes care of cleaning the litter for our indoor cat.
