About: I started house/pet sitting for a family friend while they went on holiday so they didn’t have to send their dog somewhere else. Since then I have cared for both dogs and cats ranging from 18 weeks to 14 years old. I have my own Jack Russell so I understand how important our pets are and know how valuable it is to go away knowing your pet is safe and happy. I provide a service that will match exactly what you do, I have the flexibility of working from home and have a clean driving license which means I can travel. I’m a role where I can work from anywhere that has WIFI. The company I work for are very supportive and I have the ability to manage my own time to meet the needs of the pets and their owners. I work 9 to 5 Monday to Friday with weekends off so plenty of time before and after work to meet the needs of pets and provide the best care and company. I can break off throughout the day to provide the care needed. I try and replicate exactly what owners do to keep pets as calm and in a routine where possible. For example I will copy the same meal times, how long they go for a walk, where they’re allowed to sleep, if they shouldn’t be left, if the pet is currently puppy training etc. My purpose is to make pets feel as safe and happy as possible until their owners return, my role is to give them as much love and fun while maintaining the same routine.

“Tamsin was really good with our shy cat! He has been a bit out of sorts since moving house but Tamsin was really respectful of his boundaries and I knew he was in safe hands 😊 Will definitely be rebooking with her again next time! Thanks again 🥰”


“As usual Justyna gave lots of updates and made us feel confident Tinker was being well looked after. She is reliable and was able to help us out last minute when we had a change of plans!”


About: As the owner of a happy 8-year-old British Shorthair tomcat, I have extensive knowledge about cats, their needs, and behaviour. I would be happy to take care of your cat or other small pets 🐾 I also have experience looking after dogs, so your furry friend will be in safe and caring hands 🐶✨ I can take care of your pets during weekends, however, in the case of pets that do not require constant supervision, I can visit them twice a day, also during the week, e.g. in the morning and in the evening. I've owned many pets, including fish, hamsters, a turtle, parrots, a dog, and a cat. Knowledge and the well-being of my pets have always been my top priority.

“I could not recommend Andrea enough. She did a remarkable job. My cat is super high maintenance and I always fear what state she'll be in when returning from a holiday. However, she is in the best spirits she's ever been after a break due to Andrea's affinity to animals. I almost feel bad that the cat won't get to see her new BFF for a while!!”


“Matthew looked after our 12 week pup Fred at last minute which we were really grateful for. We felt very comfortable leaving Fred with Matthew as he updated us regularly during his stay, sending us pictures and updating us about feeding etc. He also stuck to our requests in caring for Fred which was great in terms of keeping him in a routine. We came home to a very happy and relaxed pup and will certainly be contacting Matthew in the future to look after Freddie :)”


“Saffron was the sweetest person for the job!! She always made sure to show up, care and play with Yuri! Very attentive also. I would definitely recommend her to anybody thats looking for a trusted sitter :) Can’t wait to book again!”


About: I am a Zoology student at the University of Leeds, and have always had a life long love for animals. I have grown up around dogs and currently have two of my own back home, both of whom I have helped raise and train from birth. Over the years I have gained hands on experience working with animals, and participated in numerous conservation projects related to my course. For example, I volunteered on a project with a tribe in Thailand in which I studied elephant behaviour. In addition I have interned at a veterinary clinic, where I helped care for dogs and cats post-surgery and assisted with walking and observation. Finally, during school I worked as a dog walker and house sitter in my neighbourhood. Overall, I have experience caring for animals, both big and small, and am a reliable choice for your pet care! As it is currently summer holidays for university I have a very flexible schedule. I am available to look after your pet from Monday to Friday (and certain weekends). When University starts back after September, my schedule will still be flexible and negotiable. When caring for pets in their own home, I feel it is best to allow them to follow their usual routine to ensure they feel as relaxed as possible. I will tailor my care to each animal’s needs, including walks, feeding schedules or administering medication. Moreover, I will always respect any specific instructions you provide regarding your pets care. For dog walking, I can adjust the pace and length of the walk to the dog’s age, energy and personality, which includes their reactivity to other dogs (I have experience with this). I would aim to make every visit and walk calm and enjoyable!

About: I’ve been an animal lover my whole life, having grown up with two cats, Tiger and Jet, who we got when I was 10. Sadly, Jet passed away after a year, but Tiger lived a long and happy life, reaching the grand age of 18 before passing in January 2024. These days, I’m the proud mum of two Spanish rescue dogs: Bobby, who joined our family in January 2024, and Juan, who we adopted in October 2024. They’ve completely changed my world and taught me so much about the joys (and realities!) of full-time rescue dog life. Back in high school, I did work experience at a cattery and kennels, and for over 10 years I’ve lovingly cared for my best friend’s retired racing greyhounds: Lady, Reuben (her son), and now Honey - whenever they go on holiday. I still dog sit Honey to this day, and I love her so much. She is part of my family and I’m part of hers! I’ve also dog sat many times for my brother’s gorgeous working cocker spaniel, Goose, having her to stay for days at a time. She’s full of energy and personality, and we’ve had so many fun adventures together, from long walks and countryside rambles to relaxed pub visits and cosy evenings on the sofa! I’m fun, kind, reliable, and I genuinely prefer animals over people! Whether it’s cuddles on the sofa or long walks in the fresh air, your pet will be loved like one of my own ❤️ I work remotely from home, so I’m always with my two boys. They get at least three walks a day, plenty of cuddles, tasty treats, and lots of chill time while I’m in meetings or working at my computer. I know how important routine, love, and companionship are for pets - because I live it every day. I live in a cosy flat with a small balcony that has a tall glass wall. My two dogs love spending a bit of time out there, but I’ll only allow guest dogs on the balcony if their owners are happy with it - and I’m more than happy to supervise them at all times for safety and peace of mind. Inside, your pup will feel right at home. I have a crate available if needed, plus plenty of soft dog beds to snuggle up in. The sofa and bed are absolutely not off limits - comfort is key, and cuddles are always welcome! I do prefer looking after dogs in my own home, as my dog, Juan, is a nervous rescue and doesn’t feel comfortable in unfamiliar environments or around strangers. That said, he gets on brilliantly with other dogs and loves having a furry friend or two around! I’m also happy to pick up local dogs to join us for walks or toilet breaks - since we head out every day, it fits naturally into our routine. And with enough notice, I may be able to dog sit overnight in your home without my two dogs, as long as my partner is available to stay with them while I’m away.

“Georgia was amazing from start to finish. My cats really enjoyed her company and I loved getting the detailed visit cards with pictures while I was on holiday. I'll definitely be getting in touch again!”


“Natalie popped in to see our two cats for half an hour for 3 days. We had lovely updates and pictures which kept our mind at ease while we were away. Natalie even managed to entice our shy cat downstairs for some treats from which shows how much they liked her. I'd definitely book with Natalie again.”


“Abbie was so good with little Erik. Erik took a shine quite quickly to her. She was prompt and on time and everything was so tidy when we got back. We enjoyed her messages each day she looked after him too. Would highly recommend her ☺️”
