“Natalia, was amazing with my dogs, I was able to relax on my holiday because i knew it my dogs in good hands. Highly recommend Natalia, she is amazing and very nice person ❤️”


About: We are a dog loving family, with over 10+ years of experience with dogs, from puppy to senior dogs. We take safety of your dog very seriously and will ensure your pooch relieve the care and attention they deserve. Me and my husband both work from home with flexible working hours so are able to provide plenty of cuddles and play time for your fur baby. We will treat the dog however you do at home and can provide as much potty breaks and walks as required. We have a 10 month old labradoodle called Nala who is very spoilt doggo, she can be excited when first meeting another dog but calms down after a short period. It's important to us that the dogs get along so would prefer to have a meet and greet for boarding and day care.

“Cannot thank Yudi and Nicky enough for looking after our cats, Linhope and Connie 🐈🐈⬛ We really weren't sure whether we felt comfortable going away for Christmas and leaving our cats at home, but on meeting Yudi and Nicky, they instantly put our minds at ease. They absolutely over delivered on taken care of them whilst we were away and were sent regular photo/video updates. Cannot recommend them enough! 谢谢!”


“Well done Ellie. On my return I found happy and healthy cats, what more could I want!! The photos she sent were lovely. The cats had their play time, she didn’t just feed them and go. They were very content when I got back so I must highly recommend Ellie for her cat sitting skills”


About: I'm used to reactive dogs having a rescue dog for a number of years now. I have always been around energetic dogs and have had small pets for many years. Namely hamsters, rabbits, pet mice and pet rats. I'm currently transitioning from a 9 to 5 office job and so have flexibility to assist people with their pet's need. I do have dog walking and sitting commitments at the moment but I will find a way to ensure I keep my commitments. I have always worked in fields where DBS checks were essential and have gone through a DBS check again which I can produce as requested. I'm a very trust worthy person and treat other people's property with the upmost respect it requires.

About: With over 4 years pet care experience and 6 years experience caring for my own pets (I have been walking dogs since I was fourteen), I offer expert dog walking and drop-in visits for dogs, cats, and small mammals. Skilled in handling various breeds; including rescue dogs with special needs, I also provide in-home care for selected pets on a case by case basis. I have references and letters of recommendation available, and I offer discounts for clients within my postcode or within a one-mile radius and can negotiate prices. For added peace of mind, I hold an Enhanced DBS Check, ensuring that I am a trustworthy and reliable person to do carry out drop-in visits and in-home care for your pets. Pet care is an integral part of my daily routine, as I prioritise the well being of all the animals I care for. I dedicate time each day dog walks, ensuring that all my furry clients receive regular exercise and companionship. I also have a spacious garden where dogs can play and explore on a lead in safety. Currently studying part-time, I have plenty of time to commit to each pet’s needs, scheduling in drop-in visits around my other commitments ensuring consist attention, especially when their owners are away. My passion and love for animals drives me to be flexible and responsive, making pet care not just a job, but a fulfilling part of my every day life. I have a large and spacious garden that can fenced off if need for your dogs to play and explore, and I live near parks where I can take your dogs to play with other friendly dogs and explore. I can drop in three times daily to feed, play with, and groom your furry friends while you are at work or on holiday. For added peace of mind, I hold an Enhanced DBS Check, ensuring that I am a trusted and reliable choice for drop in visits and in-home pet care.

“Brilliant, cats were calm and happy when we returned. Barely noticed we had been away. Barbara loves animals and does all she can to make sure they are in their routine while you are away”


About: Since I was a child, I have lived in a household with various breeds of dogs. Terrier's, Spaniels, Chihuahua's, Beagle's and a beautiful (& massive) Weimaraner. Not all at once of course! Unfortunately due to work commitments, I am unable to have a dog of my own. For this reason, it brings me great joy to look after other peoples dogs, taking care of them, walking them and making sure they're happy and comfortable. I am the first port of call for all of my friends when they need help with their dogs, and would love to extend that help to others. I am currently training to be a Primary school teacher and I have a job due to commence from September. However, from the end of June onwards I will be lucky enough to have the opportunity to look after your dog! I have a small cosy house which I share with my partner (another dog lover!). We have a small garden which is fully enclosed, close to two of the best dog walking parks in Leicester.

About: Growing up on a farm, I’ve cared for cats and dogs my whole life—offering expert attention, love, and personalised care for your pets’ unique needs. I offer fully flexible scheduling to meet your needs. Whether it’s early mornings, late nights, or weekends, I’m here for your pets! I currently work within the legal field so work from home. However I do attend appointments from time to time. I will advise you if this is the case. I provide trustworthy, respectful care for pets in their own home, ensuring a comfortable environment. I’m always tidy, maintaining your space while giving your pets loving attention.

About: Part of my childhood was inseparable from dogs. In the year I came here, I often took care of a ten year old Yorkshire terrier and a nine year old cockapoo. I am currently a student. So I have a lot of free time. However, the time I can provide depends on the busyness of my schoolwork. Therefore, please be sure to make an appointment in advance. When I am responsible for taking care of pets, I will ensure that their diet, hygiene and health are properly taken care of. This includes feeding on time, keeping the environment clean, and providing enough exercise and play time. In this process, maintain communication with the pet owner and inform the pet of its condition and any key information in a timely manner.

“Amelia did a drop in visit for me while I had to go into the office. She did some fab training with Otis and even managed to get him down for a nap to avoid him being over tired. Absolutely ideal!”


About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life, I love cats and dogs! I have 4 cats of my own, all absolute nutters with varied personalities. I would love to have a dog of my own soon, at the minute the kitties own the place. Looking forward to meeting some great dogs 🐕 I’ve a self employed film maker, so my time is more free than not! I’d love to fill it with some lovely pets and help pet owners out. I’ve very considerate and take my time to ensure the pets are comfortable with me. I’ll be ensuring I learn what I can from the owners to tailor my service. I’m a clean person, considerate person in other peoples homes

“Excellent service, my cats were very relaxed when I came home. I was given detailed updates every visit with accompanying photos. Very pleased and would use Anya again. Highly recommended !”


About: Back in my hometown I take care of my dog and my two cats so I am very reliable when it comes to taking care of animals! Since growing up with animals I have always been able to fit into my schedule taking care of pets as i am a very organised person. in the UK pets do not come in my home very often I said do not have a pair of my own but back home I have so many animals in my home.

About: I have taken care of different kinds of dogs since young just by taking family and friends pets out for a walk and my own. I’m currently working part time and in university. I’m most definitely free Mondays 1pm onwards and before 11am, Tuesday before 9am and in the 12 afternoon onwards, Wednesday, Thursday all day, Friday before 1pm and after 4pm. Saturday, Sunday all day I have a fenced yard and a loving dog to take care off called Eric he is very playful and loves to mess around, I love playing with animals. He regularly goes on 3 walks a day and he’s very energetic

About: I have had a cat since I was little. Originally I come from Latvia and I had a cat who lived (18) years. She was so loved every single day. Now that I am in the UK I have 2 cats. Leo and Lulu, they are my babies and I would do anything for them. I understand how stressful and sad it can be leaving your loved pet behind when you need to go away or abroad for a week or two. Because I understand this worrying feeling, I will do everything to make sure you have a nice, stress free holiday and your pet would not even notice that you were gone. My work usually starts at 2pm. I understand that many cat owners like to feed their cats in the morning, so this would be the perfect fit for my schedule. I finish my work at 10pm and if necessary, I can stop by later in the evening to give good night kisses to your pet and maybe a treat (or two). I have 2 cats of my own. I do not let them outside as I live very close to a busy road. So I know the best how to make sure that all the windows and doors are closed. Also, I know how to take necessary precautions to avoid pets getting out. The litter tray is being cleaned every day. I know that cats can get a depression if their litter tray is not clean. When I arrive home, I give them treats, as an apology that I had to be away from them all day.

About: I have more patience and can handle the tantrum of the pets as well, would also make sure that he/she would be properly feed and have a good time when I'm around. I'm currently studying, so I would be having enough times on weekends to play and take out them on long walks. And make sure they have a good time when out. I had made an personalised dance for my pets at my house and I can easily make one for yours as well. And use toys while playing with them so that they can trust me more.
