About: Me & my partner run our own dog boarding business 🐾 I have always been an animal lover since i was a child and always had dogs in the family home, and since owning my very own Labrador, Pepsi, who is nearly 4, our heart's have just been so full of love. Part of my motivation also comes from knowing how challenging it can be to leave a dog in kennels or find a suitable home for them to stay, as we struggle with this ourselves when we go on any family holiday. This understanding drives my commitment to ensuring every dog would be safe and happy in our care. My partner Andy and I both work from home at staggered hours, ensuring that our home is always filled with love and companionship. We have a beautiful Labrador named Pepsi, who is so lovable with all dogs and humans, and our nearly 9-year-old daughter is completely dog-obsessed, which means your furry friend will receive plenty of attention and care during their stay with us. I have had the privilege of caring for the pets of many clients, friends and family members over the years, and I cherish every moment spent with them. The only downside is saying bye when they have to return home! We live in our lovely family home with a spacious open plan downstairs and fully fenced garden to the rear, which is more than big enough for your dog to have fun, our dog's personal favourite is the doggy paddling pool. Your dog can sleep anywhere they feel most happy, even upstairs with us.

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 16 years old and have even been best friends with my animal obsessed best friend (now a qualified vet) for 11 years. I have joined her on work experience and have always loved animals. I have trained puppies and always had working dogs, so I am aware of the needs they have as well as older more quiet dogs. I have just left my teaching role to do full-time tutoring and would love to incorporate my love of animals and nature into my new routine. I treat my own pet (Sage) as my pride and joy and happily treat every animal. as I would treat him! I love seeing their different personalities and ensuring they're enriched. I always ensure that they are on lead, in safe areas and are checked after walking for any tics/cuts etc.

“Evie was an excellent dog sitter for our dogs! She was responsive and easy to communicate with, arrived on time and did everything we asked her to do. We felt really safe leaving our dogs in her care, and came home to them fast asleep! Would definitely recommend Evie and would ask her to dogsit for us again!”

“Chris was absolutely fantastic with our boy Charlie! He really made the effort to get to know him and spend time with him and make a fuss of him. Great updates, photos and videos for the whole week while we were away which meant I could really enjoy my holiday safe in the knowledge thst Charlie was being looked after so well. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Chris, a definitive big fat 5 out of 5 star review and I'll definitely be using Chris's pet sitting services again.”

About: With over 20 years of experience caring for both dogs and cats, I’ve had the joy of growing up surrounded by pets thanks to my family’s love for animals. This has given me a deep understanding of their needs, behaviors, and unique personalities. I’ve also had hands-on experience caring for pets with special needs, such as a British Shorthair cat with a heart condition, ensuring their comfort, safety, and well-being at all times. What makes me stand out as a pet sitter is my lifelong dedication to animals and my ability to provide attentive, personalized care. I bring not only experience but also empathy and patience, making pets feel secure and loved in my care. I’m comfortable with senior pet care and can handle the specific challenges that come with medical needs or administering medication. My approach prioritizes the happiness and health of every pet as if they were my own. As someone who works from home, I have a highly flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate ample time to caring for pets nearby. My daily routine revolves around creating a calm and loving environment for pets, ensuring they get the attention, care, and companionship they deserve. Whether it’s regular walks, feeding, playtime, or keeping their spaces clean and comfortable, I’m able to seamlessly integrate pet care into my day-to-day activities. My flexibility also means I can accommodate specific needs or schedules, providing reliable and personalized care that fits around the pet and owner’s requirements. When caring for pets in my home, I create a safe, clean, and pet-friendly environment, ensuring they feel comfortable and secure at all times. I carefully remove any hazards, such as toxic plants or small objects, and provide plenty of space for play and relaxation. Their well-being is my top priority, so I maintain a consistent routine for feeding, walks, and playtime, tailored to their specific needs. When looking after pets in their own home, I prioritize respecting the owner’s space while ensuring the pets feel at ease in their familiar surroundings. I follow detailed instructions regarding feeding, exercise, and care routines, while also keeping the home tidy and safe. Building trust with both pets and owners is essential, so I maintain open communication and provide regular updates, giving peace of mind that their furry friends are in caring and responsible hands.

“Georgia was amazing with Simba and went an extra mile to make sure he is comfortable while we are away. Will definitely book again!”

“Matthew was fantastic with drop ins for my cats! He kept me so updated and it really alleviated my travelling stress. I came home to 2 happy cats and had a relaxing time away knowing they were safe. He even went above and beyond cleaning up after them.”

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.

“Leanne did an amazing job looking after our two cats for a week. They went over and above to care for them and made additional trips to the vets for our cats medicine. Updates and pictures daily and great communication. I would highly recommend. Thank you!”

“Danielle is lovely and obviously really cares about animals. She gives really detailed updates after each visit which is very reassuring. I know Stanley is in very good hands when she drops in on him”

“Ashleigh came to do a meet and greet with me and my Border Collie, Casper, and took him for a walk. He seemed to love her straight away and she had a great skill and confidence in getting my cheeky dog to behave! Really looking forward to Ashleigh taking care of Casper again and have booked further dog walks and house/dog sitting with her.”

“Very happy with this, more importantly so was Monty. He got to play, two walks, fed, and well looked after. Would definitely recommend Grace!”

About: I have been taking care of dogs since around the age of 12. Between neighbours and friends cats and dogs I love walking, playing and cuddling them! I am especially fond of big dogs Currently at university in Lancaster, I have a lot of free time depending on the days, and mostly spend this free time walking around town and discovering new places! I particularly enjoy playing with dogs and seeing them have fun. I am ready to do the necessary to make the dog comfortable and happy in the hands of a ´stranger’

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.

“Jason is a lovely guy, very friendly and looking after people's fur babies are obviously a passion for him. He did an absolutely fantastic job looking after my cat Charlie. He spent time with Charlie to play with him and give him attention which was really appreciated. The photos and videos at each visit were great and the messages for each visit letting me know exactly how Charlie was doing. It was very reassuring knowing that Charlie was being looked after so well whilst we were away. I'll most certainly be booking Jason when we have our next trip away. Definitely a 5 star review!”

About: I had been volunteering in dogs shelters, wildlife centres for 2 years in order to improve my application for veterinary medicine. I have incorporated animal handlings skills which could be applied to dogs that require different levels of attention. Being a veterinary medicine student studying in University of Edinburgh have further trained me to handle your pets safely and providing them lots of fun. As I am a university student, my timetable changes depending on the week however I am generally available on the weekends. I will update my availability constantly to avoid confusion. It will be great if you could message me beforehand just in case of sudden change of schedule. I will spend plenty of time entertaining your pup and I can guarantee they will be in safe hands, as I have plenty of experience in walking larger breed dogs which have not been lead trained.

“Charlotte was a great cat sitter, very reliable and the cats seemed to enjoy her visits. She sent great photos every visit”

Our dogs are used to lots of walks, playtime and lots of cuddles during the day and your dog will be treated as one of our own. We have a two friendly dogs and two cats who enjoy our secure, enclosed garden. All our pets are allowed everywhere in the house and yours will be no exception, they will be welcomed as part of our family and cared for as if they are one of our own. Our pets are a huge part of our lives, fully involved with all specks of family life and we would include your pet in this too.

About: I have taken care of both my own dogs and other peoples for 10 years, I also have experience in cat sitting and have previously owned Guinea pigs. Throughout my time looking after dogs I have dealt with both senior and puppies making me well suited to accommodate the specific needs of individual dogs. I am currently studying at university and have plenty of time both to walk dogs and make home visits, as well as overnight stays so am very flexible in terms of how many hours I can work as well as when those hours are. Both at home and in another pet owners home I make sure that Gates leading out of the property are properly shut so that all pets remain safe. I also make sure that the needs of all pets including food, water and attention are met so that the pets in question are not only well looked after but are also happy.
