“Absolutely fantastic! Contacted Helena very last minute after being let down and she was amazing. My mum never gets to leave the house with her needy doggo but he didn’t even miss us one bit. My mum got to spend the day with her grandson who lives in London. Something she rarely gets to do. Brilliant sitter and all the updates put an anxious owner at massive ease. Thank you so much!”
“We are so happy we chose Lou to look after our dog and cat while we went away to get married. Lou is friendly, kind, thoughtful, helpful and capable. We couldn't have asked for better. The pets were happy and relaxed when we got home and had clearly spent a lovely time with Lou. Lots of photos and videos and updates helped us feel relaxed and happy that all was well. Looking forward to having Lou back the next time we go away. Thanks a bunch Lou! :-).”
“Torrie was communicative right from the initial contact and kept me updated with daily messages about our two cats throughout the week we were away. The cats clearly thrived in her company! We came home to a clean, tidy house and, most importantly, two very happy cats. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.”
“Irena was absolutely fantastic looking after my cat, Bryan! She sent me daily updates with photos and videos, which really put my mind at ease. It was clear she played with him and gave him all the love and attention he deserved while I was away. Knowing he was in such good hands allowed me to truly relax and enjoy my holiday. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter!”
About: I have started a business dog walking and pet sitting. Dogs are the best friends you could have! I have experience looking after dogs big and small and know how to cuddle on the sofa as well as run around the fields with high prey driven dogs. I have my own business pet sitting and dog walking, I will soon be starting a dog grooming course which will be one evening a week so I am very flexible with my availability. At home we have 2 cats, one is 8 and the other is 2. They both have different interests and needs and I know how to deal with them. I know how to adapt my routine to different animals having my own cats and looking after dogs during sits and walks.
About: I have looked after a parents greyhound whilst they're away by walking and feeding him. I enjoy playing with him and giving him stokes and treats. I mostly work from home so can be flexible with times of going and visiting houses and pets. I can be free on weekends too. I mostly wouldn't be able to go Friday during the day as I work from the office l but I am free friday after 5pm. I can offer a calm space for a pet to feel at ease with a stranger. I enjoy them sitting with me on the sofa or in bed for some extra cuddle time.
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.
About: I’ve always loved animals and have experience caring for dogs of different breeds and temperaments. I’m patient, attentive, and make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I can help with feeding, walking, playtime, and keeping routines consistent. I’m also mindful of body language and know how to respond calmly to keep pets happy and stress-free. I’m available on weekdays after 5:30pm and fully available on weekends. I’ll have plenty of time to give your pet attention, playtime, and care while keeping their routine consistent. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I create a calm and loving environment and pay close attention to their needs and body language. I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual routine and make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for while you’re away!
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and genuinely love caring for them. I grew up with both dogs and cats in the family, so I’m very comfortable with different personalities, from playful pups to independent or shy cats. I also studied animal care and husbandry at college, which gave me a great understanding of pet behaviour, safety, and wellbeing. I currently have two cats of my own, so I know how important it is to have someone trustworthy and caring looking after your pets. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, or just keeping them company, I treat every pet like they’re my own ❤️ I'm a nurse at the local hospital so I usually have 3 or 4 days off a week, so plenty of time for feeding, playing, fighting, and cuddling the cats! And cleaning the litter tray ofc. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet and your home in someone else’s care. I only provide services in the owner’s home, helping your cat stay comfortable in a familiar environment. I’m reliable, tidy, and treat both your pet and home with the utmost respect, keeping you updated throughout.
“Laura was great, prompt and kept us updated throughout the day with pictures. Both Tank and Russ were happy and comfortable with her. Will definitely ask her to dog sit again”
“Ruby looked after my 2 staffies Ruby & Frank for the weekend. My dogs can be a handful at times, especially when playing together as one is getting older whilst the other still a puppy. Ruby met both my dogs prior to the house sitting weekend in my home. Both dogs took to her immediately and I loved the fact she instantly interacted with them. Frank the younger of my dogs especially took to her and didn't want her to leave. Ruby sent regular updates on how they were doing as they can fret a little and get anxiety when I'm not home, but they were perfectly fine and looked happy. It was lovely to see how Ruby is with dogs and you clearly see that she adores them. I will definitely be booking in the future with her.”
“I don’t even know where to start with how brilliant Courtney is!! I hate leaving my 3 year old dog Teddy even for a few hours so holidays have always been hard for me, I felt relaxed within the first few hours of Courtney having him, she sends regular updates and so many photos, I could tell Teddy loved her and is still looking for her a few days after we have got back, the house was spotless 100% recommend Courtney she is truly fantastic xxx”
“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.
“From the very start, Jodie was reliable, communicative, and genuinely caring. Pepper was relaxed and happy when I returned, which says everything. I really appreciated the regular updates and photos, it put my mind at ease knowing Pepper was in such good hands. It’s clear Jodie truly understands and love cats, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again or recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive sitter.”
About: There hasn't been a time in my life without dogs. I currently have 2 rescues from the RSPCA; a Dachshund and a Shih Tzu cross Pomeranian. Growing up we had 3 Dalmatians and a Doberman. I am also an experienced small pet owner from gerbils, hamsters and rats through to guinea pigs and rabbits. I know how much your pets mean to you but also how sometimes you go places that aren't best suited for them and just need a helping hand to watch over them. I will always ensure the best care for them and some may say spoil them a bit too much! I work an office job 9-5 so I am available mornings, evenings and weekends. I can do short visits on lunch times if located within nearby proximity. I have grown up with dogs and small pets my whole life so I am well versed in animal care and what they need. I have had dogs of varying temperaments. Most of my dogs have been rescues so all come with their own quirks and needs. I understand how some pets require a little extra t.l.c and some need their own space.

About: I’ve spent over 6 years living and working in a dog hotel, where I cared for pups of all sizes, ages, and personalities every single day. From playful puppies to senior dogs with special needs, I’ve learned how to make every dog feel safe, happy, and loved. I’ve also grown up surrounded by a variety of breeds my whole life, so I’m comfortable understanding their different temperaments, energy levels, and care needs. Whether it’s going for walks, giving belly rubs, or keeping a consistent routine, I treat every dog like part of my own family. My schedule is very flexible! I work from home most of the time, which allows me to give plenty of attention and care to your pup throughout the day. My weeks are usually very open, so I can easily work around your dog’s specific needs — whether that’s regular walks, playtime, or just extra cuddles and company.

We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter than Laura. She looked after everything perfectly for the 10 days we were away on our honeymoon, and we had complete peace of mind knowing our home and pets were in such safe, caring hands. Laura was reliable, responsible, kind, and incredibly thoughtful — she kept us updated, followed all instructions, and went above and beyond what we expected. We came home to happy pets and a beautifully cared-for home, which made the end of our honeymoon even more special. Thank you so much, Laura!
