“We had a good experience with Irena as our house and dog sitter. She was friendly, accommodating, and available on short notice, which we really appreciated. This was her first time house sitting, so we walked her through a few things, and she picked everything up quickly and efficiently. Would love to see more pictures throughout the day but it's ok. When we returned, everything was just as we left it, and our dog was happy and well taken care of. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her!”


“Definitely recommended. My labradoodle absolutely loved Florence, my dog is normally weird after being left with a sitter and this time she was perfectly fine and herself afterwards. I will definitely book Florence again”


“Honestly could not recommend Angel enough! Our old Romanian rescue dog Amos took to her right away! He's usually nervous around new people but he absolutely loves her! Angel was great at giving us updates and sending lots of pictures! I know that Amos was really well looked after and I won't hesitate to ask Angel to look after our doggos in the future!”


“Couldn’t fault Ellie before and again couldn’t fault her this time. She has gone above and beyond for my trio and allowed me to have a first family holiday in over 5 years!! Was recommend and will definitely use her again”


“Laura is an amazing cat sitter. She kept me updated throughout with photos, I’m usually quite worried when I leave my cat but Laura made me feel completely at ease. I definitely will be booking Laura again”


About: I have always had animals to take care for from being a small child. This has ranged from many animals including hamsters, cats, dogs and horses. I am very comfortable taking care of cats and dogs. I have experience with a range of different size and temperament dogs. I currently have two American bullies who are big softies. I take great joy in making sure the animals I care for are looked after in the best possible way. I am able to do any day or time until mid July when I plan to go on maternity leave. I would be very happy to continue working with clients after a short break for maternity leave When visiting a pet in their home I can either spend time with them giving them lots of cuddles and allowing them some freedom in the garden or I’m happy to take them for a walk, however long required

“Caysey was a great help & paddy seemed to enjoy his time there - got plenty of photos and updates! Would definitely recommend Caysey to anyone!”


About: Many years being around and looking after friends and family's pets as well as my own beloved furbaby to extremely high standards- I got my doggy as a abused frightened and anxious dog but loved and cared for him until 14 years later in this time I've picked up on numerous social ques and learnt alot. I looked after my dog all throughout his life coming across lots of common and uncommon problems and being able to deal with minor things on my own without having to go to vets, we had amazing times together and even better walks with lots of love thrown in. However my baby has sadly passed away now due to old age and cancer. I do have two children who will always be supervised around you're furbaby but they are well aware of giving dogs space and not to over stimulate them, they have been around numerous dogs throughout their life and understand. Lastly I'd like to thank you for viewing my page and hopefully I can build an amazing bond with you're dog and have some lovely walks. Having fallen out of love with my pervious career (Childcare - due to lack of support, micromanagement and lots of other reasons) I've come to the conclusion that my family and having a routine suited to us is better therefore I'm at home 24/7 minus the school runs which means I can cater on your pooch without leaving them for extended amounts of time. I do have two children who also love animal but know their boundaries and will give your dog space. During term time Sunday evening to Thursday morning it will be between school hours for walks, dogs are more than welcome to stay at my home during this time and I cannot offer staying at your home during this time but Thursday after morning school run to Sunday evening I am free as and when needed. I have two gardens front and back which both are gated and fenced which means so escapees. Usually the back door is always ajar leaving your pet free to come in and out whenever they want. I have a large park 3 minutes walk from where I live and a huge woodland work 10 minutes from where I live, past the woods are fields and fields for your dog to walk that are very quiet. I enjoy off lead walking but this would depend on the dogs recall and what you're wishes are. I would like you to bring/ I'll collect the dogs comforts like their bed, toys, blankets etc as well as any dietary requirements and follow the routine you give with extra cuddles in there.

About: I have experience caring for pets of all ages, ensuring they are fed, exercised, and given plenty of attention. I can follow specific care instructions, provide basic grooming, and monitor for any health concerns. I prioritize creating a safe, loving environment so pets feel comfortable while their owners are away. I’ll have plenty of time to care for your pets, ensuring they get attention, exercise, and companionship. I’m available for boarding on weekends and can accommodate regular visits during the week. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, or just keeping them company, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable and loved while you’re away I prioritize safety, trust, and a comfortable environment for pets in both my home and the owner's home. I follow all care instructions, provide a secure space, and ensure pets feel relaxed and loved. Whether through supervised play, routine feeding, or maintaining a clean environment, I create a stress-free experience. I also respect the owner's home, keeping it tidy and ensuring pets are safe at all times.

About: I have grown up around animals having multiple pets in my 19 years of existance .

“Charlotte was brilliant looking after my pup Teddy! Great communication and sent pictures and updates! Will definitely use again xx”


“Very good experience. Kelly was really friendly and great with our 2 dogs. They had a great time, and it went far better than I expected. Thank You.”


About: I've spent over a decade caring for dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments — not just as a sitter, but as a true companion. From high-energy puppies to senior dogs with special needs, I understand their unique care requirements. You'll never wonder how your dog is doing. I provide regular photo updates, check-ins, and stay in close touch so you're always in the loop. Pet care is a meaningful and regular part of my weekly routine. I dedicate time each day for walks, feedings, litter box cleaning, and quality time with the animals I care for. I carefully plan my schedule to ensure I’m fully available for each pet — whether for daily check-ins, overnight stays, or weekend visits. Even with other responsibilities, pet care remains a top priority. When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on maintaining their routine as closely as possible to minimize stress. I follow detailed instructions regarding feeding, medications, walk schedules, and any special quirks or preferences. I respect the pet owner’s home, clean up after the pet (litter box, food area, accidents if any), and provide updates with photos or videos. My goal is for the pet to feel safe and relaxed in their own familiar space — and for you to feel confident while you're away.

“Lee a stepped in at short notice and I couldn’t have wished for a more lovely person. My dogs loved her and I would definitely recommend her to anybody”


About: I love dogs and cats, having both (and rabbits) makes my household quite a fluffy one! Izzy (my English bull terrier cross with a lurcher) who after a long walk lounges around all day. She has to have a very unique diet after being a stray she has a very sensitive stomach so I'm used to dealing with different types of dogs! I am also a Butternut Box employee so I work with dogs a LOT which is lovely 🐕 I understand how important it is to give yourself peace of mind that your pets are all fed and looked after while on holiday, away or just busy! So I am free almost all the time we can start a conversation and work on a time that fits you! I feed my dog 3 times a day and cats 2 times a day. I always make sure I give them fresh water at multiple points in the day and brush all the animals once a day just to keep their fur free from any outside sticky plants etc

“I can thoroughly recommend Chris as a dog sitter and walker following him sitting at our house looking after our dog and cat. Chris responded promptly when I first contacted him. We were trying to arrange quite short notice dog and cat sitting due to a previous arrangement breaking down. Despite this he was as able to work around our dates to be able to provide the care we needed. Our dog can be anxious and has a tendency to resource guard. Chris was excellent at arranging to visit our house to meet our dog to get an idea of his needs and accompanied mr on a walk with him. He then, also, arranged to take our dog out on his own, for a walk. This provided Chris and us with the confidence to go ahead with the sit. Chris provided daily updates (messages, photos and video) whilst we were away which was great feedback. I know our dog loved the care he received. Chris is engaging, thoughtful and caring of the animals he is looking after. His calm demeanour was great for both our pets and ourselves! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Chris as a sitter and to ask him to sit again in future.”


About: From the age of around 11 I’ve looked after dogs and cats as well as Ferrets. I’ve also been around dogs my whole life and love to spend time getting to know new furry friends. I have a Mini Dachshund girl Penny and a Boy cat Stanley. Whilst both being very friendly and loving in harmony penny only really appreciates other dogs her size so we only take in small dogs for overnight stays/doggy day care with us. Walks - As for walks I am open to any dogs for this and I have a car for travel to appropriate walk destinations. Home Visits - I am able to visit any size or age pets within a 10 mile radius. The amount of times I visit and the length of visit will have to be negotiated upon booking. I am a very flexible person I do not have a 9-5 job I work for myself at home. My days consist of walking my own dog and having a lot of time in the garden playing with Penny. I have a fenced off garden that is located just off the back of a big field so it’s perfect for dog walks. I have one girl dog and one boy cat but as cats do he stays out of the way and is very dog friendly due to his sister being a dog. I am only able to accept crate trained pets for overnight services and a crate must accompany your pet on arrival as I do not have a spare unfortunately. I would appreciate a list if I was looking after your pet in your home so I can do exactly as you do.

“Ella is very friendly and helpful. Nothing too much when it comes to leaving instructions! Ella is flexible and adapted as our plans were tweaked. Our dog was happy spending time with her.”


“Jessica was absolutely amazing with Scotty. She understood his needs and was able to make him calm and settled. He was given lots of treats and cuddles from her. Would absolutely recommend”
