“Libby took a good care of my cats Anakin and Frida. She slept two nights at my place. She was very proactive sending pictures and videos and she also answered quickly to my texts. She was the first person boarding in my place and I'm very happy with the experience.”


About: Hi we are James and Hannah. We just adore animals, we’ve looked after a huge range in various homes around the country but we haven’t sat a reptile yet but I’m sure that will be ticked off soon! I (Jamie) have had 4 Border Collies, from pups to old age, once you know a Collie that gives you highly transferable skills to look after other breeds, plus Collies do develop your own 6th sense when it comes to dogs. Cats we know well and we know they are the boss! We are highly experienced and reviews from another pet platform will support this, more than happy to discuss this further if applicable. Pets are just so rewarding to look after whilst developing that bond and trust for in us is special. On to the practical stuff, price can be negotiable dependant on any factors that you want to discuss. Thank for reading Jamie and Hannah We are flexible to be in your home full time during the sit. It’s important for us that the pet has the availability of human interaction during the day. By only looking after animals in their own surroundings it’s comforting for them to have the security of their home. We will always follow the house owners instructions for their loved ones to the letter. We have sat at over 20 homes now and reviews on other sites will testify that the owner’s always come back to a happy herd!

“I cannot recommend Ellie enough. This was the first time we'd used Rover as our puppy is only 7 months old and we were extremely nervous leaving her for the first time. We received regular updates which massively settled my nerves and meant we could enjoy our holiday. Came home my house was spotless and our dog had the best time and didn't even miss us!🤣🤣 would 100% recommend Ellie.”


About: I’ve grown up around animals and have experience caring for pets of all ages, from playful puppies to senior dogs and cats who need a little extra TLC. What sets me apart is my attention to detail, patience, and ability to adapt to each pet’s unique personality and needs. Whether it’s administering medication, following a specific routine, or just providing a calm, comforting presence, I always go the extra mile to make sure your pet feels safe and loved. I’m confident with basic training, including reinforcing good behaviour and helping puppies learn routines. I’m also very comfortable with pets who are a bit shy, nervous, or have special care needs. You can count on me to treat your pet like one of my own—with care, kindness, and lots of cuddles! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine—I’m an early riser and love starting my day with a walk or playtime. I study with a flexible schedule, which means I’m often home and can provide lots of attention, regular potty breaks, and companionship throughout the day. Weekends are just as pet-friendly, with extra time for longer walks, cuddles, or any special routines your pet might need. Whether it’s sticking to a feeding schedule or just making sure they feel loved and secure, I’m happy to fit their needs into my everyday life. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in theirs, safety and trust are always my top priorities. I create a calm, secure environment where pets can feel comfortable and relaxed. I follow any specific routines or instructions closely—whether it’s feeding times, medication, or favourite walking routes. I always keep a close eye on pets, making sure they’re safe, stimulated, and never left alone for too long. In a pet owner's home, I’m respectful of the space and routines, keeping everything clean and as you left it. I also provide regular updates with photos, so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and in good hands while you’re away.

About: I've grown up around animals, having family dogs and my mum pet sitting for friends and family. I have always loved being around them. I currently have a 1 year old rescued stray cat, she’s been with me for 6 months and has taught me a lot about patience and building trust. She’s gone from being an anxious kitty to loving nothing more than head scratches. I have also cared for multiple cats including one for 5 weeks while their owner was away, making sure they felt safe and well looked after. When it comes to dogs, I regularly care for dogs of friends and family, taking them for walks, providing day care and having sleepovers. I’m comfortable with different energy levels and always make sure pets feel comfortable, happy, and at home. I treat every pet how I would expect mine to be looked after, with patience, attention, and genuine care. I take time to understand their routines, quirks, and what helps them feel secure. I’m reliable, respectful of your home, and always keep you updated. I love both a cuddle session or an energetic walk, and I’m here to make sure your pet feels loved and cared for while you’re away. My job is remote so I can work from anywhere, I’m also very flexible with my work schedule so can take time away to focus solely on your pet when needed. I work mon-fri so weekends are also completely free. Having my own cat, pets will need to stay at your home, which I find helps with their anxieties. Homes will be kept clean and tidy and I’m happy to take on any small household jobs during my time with your pets such as watering plants and taking them for walks bins out. House keys will be kept in a safe and never given to anyone without your written authorisation.

“Georgia was a pleasure to work with, Flo was very happy when we got back and we had cute photo updates while we were away. House was immaculate when we got back. Highly recommend!”


“This was my first time leaving my two dogs and my home in the care of someone I didn’t know, and I was very anxious about it, especially with being away for 10 days. I’m so glad I found Reece and his girlfriend Lucy through this website. Reece took the time to visit me and meet my dogs at my home before I made the booking, which really helped put me at ease. He was polite, friendly, and reassuring, and my dogs took to him right away. While I was on holiday, Reece kept me updated with photos of my dogs, which was such a comfort. When I returned, my home was tidy and my dogs were happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for. Thanks to Reece and Lucy, I was able to truly relax on my holiday knowing my dogs were in good hands. I’ll definitely be booking them again!”

“Helen was fantastic, we would highly recommend her as a house/pet sitter and we will be using her again. Our dog Shelby had a lovely time whilst we were away for 2 weeks, and the house was immaculate when we returned! We received regular updates from Helen, she was friendly, professional and very attentive when caring for Shelby. Thank you Helen! X”

“Charlotte looked after our Beau. This was the first time my partner and I used a dog sitter and wow what can we say. Charlotte was amazing, her experience with dogs really shows. Beau has separation anxiety, Charlotte took great care of him for the day. The updates were a great touch, we will definitely be asking for Charlotte's services again. Extremely kind and polite and Beau really was calm around her. 10/10”


About: I have grown up around dogs and always had a love for animals. I have previously worked at vets and loved every minute of it. However I wanted to see the animals more and see them happy so what better job than to take care of them. I left my job and set up my own dog walking and pet sitting business. I have since completed a level 2 pet first aid course and set up private insurance specifically for the business. Please have a look on Facebook and Instagram to see some happy dogs! I am available full time as this is what I do for a living. I just require as much notice as possible so I can fit you into my schedule. As I do this as a business I’m not currently licensed to board pets at my own home. This is why I only offer pet sitting services in your own home. Personally I think this is a better set up as it’s stressful enough when you go on holiday then to have your animals moved to either another house or kennel can just add to the stress they already feel. All owners will be asked for some basic information about their pets this ensures I have a better knowledge of them. All dogs that come out for walks with me will be kept on a lead until I am confident in their recall ability. This ensures their safety and gives you that peace of mind as well.

“Absolutely brilliant. Claire was asked to look after two Border Collies, one elderly and one ‘quite lively’. She kept them company in our house for 3 nights and gave several updates and photos each day. It was obvious from her feedback and the condition of our Collies that Claire had done a very caring and professional job. We have never left any of our Collies, both past and present, in kennels or alone until now, but should we have to in future, we will rest easy and confident that they will be safe and well. Claire is a professional with tons of affection and it shows. Well done Claire and many thanks for your reassuring help.”

Whenever she visits, he gets so excited to see her — a great testament to how well she treats him.
