“Michael has been brilliant throughout the process from booking to the actual sit. Jed is a very anxious and reactive dog with new people, particularly in the home. This was explained to Michael and he listened to all our advice and made a great effort to understand Jed’s needs. He gave up his time to come for a meet and greet, plus meeting us for a dog walk, to meet Jed and try build an early bond. Jed was unfortunately a little reactive on the walk, but this never swayed Micheal to his credit. He’s a really friendly and attentive person and it’s clear his enjoys being with dogs. The sit went well and considering Jed isn’t that easy at first, he persevered and by the end of it Jed seems to have relaxed a tad with him. The lovely long walk he took him on would’ve certainly helped :) Communication with Michael is very easy and he sends lots of updates throughout, including nice pictures and videos. All in all it was a great experience and I hope we will be using him again, so he can continue to forge a friendship with Jed :) I would absolutely recommend Michael, an honest and reliable dog sitter, which on this app is not easy to find. We look forward to seeing Michael again.”

“Lili is very communicative and knowledgeable. She was punctual and my dog took to her straight away! She clearly has an affinity with dogs. She looked after him at her house and sent regular pupdates which was lovely and very reassuring. My dog came home very happy. I would recommend Lili and will definitely be asking her for her services again”

About: I study animal care and have very good companionship with dogs always have and I am always happy to help people in need with sitting I do go to college except from weekends and Friday but get back at around half 4 so after that I’m free to help always I’m very good at keeping animals calm and collected as well as them having fun and eating and sleeping ill always do my best of my ability
About: Whether you're away for a few hours, a weekend, or a longer trip, I provide attentive, compassionate care to help your pets feel safe, comfortable, and happy in their familiar environment. I have hands-on experience caring for a wide range of animals, including dogs, cats, and horses. Growing up on a farm, my background has given me confidence in handling different personalities, temperaments, and care requirements, from energetic dogs who love long walks to independent cats who prefer a calm companion, as well as horses that require consistent routines and attentive care. My experience includes: Dog walking and exercise Feeding, fresh water, and medication administration (where required) Overnight and drop-in pet care Caring for puppies, senior dogs, and dogs with individual needs Cat feeding, companionship, litter box maintenance, and playtime Horse feeding, grooming, mucking out, turnout, and general stable care Monitoring animal wellbeing and recognising signs of discomfort or illness I pride myself on being dependable, patient, and attentive to each pet's unique routine. I understand how important it is for owners to feel confident while they're away, so I'm happy to provide regular updates, photos, and messages throughout your booking. Whether your pet enjoys adventure filled walks, quiet companionship, or specialised care, I'll make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and professional care. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I work remotely, so I have freedom to align with your pets routine. I am an early riser, so if your pet requires an early breakfast, that's fine with me. I love a morning walk come rain or sunshine and equally I enjoy a late day walk to get my step count in too. I can work with your pet's routine for indoor/outdoor time and play and rest time. I am very mindful of pets that have clockwork routines. Equally, I am mindful of pets coming to me in their own terms, whether that be for a brush/grooming session or cuddles when they are ready for a pamper.
“Grace is really excellent!! She manages my 2 very lively and quirky Collies with absolutely no problem and even took the change in raw food preparation without any issues. Great with animals and a lovely lady 😊”

About: Since 2014 I have owned two lovely beagles: one named Archi and the other Marley. Unfortunately Marley passed recently, but with Archi and Marley, I have experience with caring for puppies, toilet training, feeding, sleeping, walking, and playing. I am retired, so I am available to meet any pet needs or requirements. Also since Marley’s passing, I have plenty of love, energy and time to play with pets, care for them and support their needs. All days of the week I can be called upon and ready to help in any way I can. I have a fenced garden that my previous dogs were safe in. I have a gate in my lounge entry that ensured my previous dogs were safe and secure when I answered the door or people entered.
About: I have grown up around dogs for as long as I can remember. My family started with two Labrador Retrievers, both incredibly affectionate and energetic, alongside a black cat. Since then, we have owned a rescue Labrador and a rescue Central Asian Shepherd weighing around 70kg. Having lived with and cared for large breeds throughout my life, I am confident handling dogs with a wide range of temperaments, from reactive and nervous to friendly and outgoing. Family and friends regularly trust me to look after, walk, and care for their dogs, and I am comfortable managing dogs of all sizes and personalities. I currently work full-time during the week, but my weekends are usually free. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs, so whenever I have the opportunity to care for, play with, or walk them, I make the most of it. I am available on Saturdays and Sundays for dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, with flexible availability throughout the day to suit your dog’s needs. Unfortunately, due to my own dog being reactive around other animals, I am unable to take in additional pets within my home. However, I am very happy to provide care in your home, including letting your dog out, walking, feeding, and spending quality time with them. I will also provide regular updates after each visit so you can feel reassured while you’re away.
About: I work from home and so can be flexible with visiting times for daily visits. This also means that should you require me to house sit, I will be with your pets 24/7 as I can work remotely from your home whilst keeping them company and looking after them. As my job is remote working, should you require me to house sit I can be with your pets 24/7 allowing me to keep them company and looking after them in their own home
About: Being part of a family that has fostered about 20 rescue dogs now, I can comfortably say that I have experience caring for dogs of all natures, especially those that are very shy or frightened :) Im currently a full time student at university, but while home for summer (June-September) I will be fully free to fit pet care in at any time! I would be able to care for your pets however you describe, whether they need constant attention or if they need to be left alone.
“Rosie was amazing with staying to look after Effy and Ninja. Effy especially enjoyed being taken out so much and being treated like an additional family member. There are lots of videos and photos of the fun times they had as well. Thank you so much Rosie ☺️”

I have a nice size fenced, back garden with a safe environment for everyone.Enough space to run around and have fun , or just relax.
“We cannot recommend Amii highly enough! 🌟 She looked after our two very lively girls (a bouncy 2-year-old Staffy and an energetic 1-year-old Rottie) for three weeks while we were abroad for our wedding, and she was nothing short of incredible. From long adventurous walks, to snuggles on the sofa, to brain-training and fun activities — she truly went above and beyond to make sure they were loved, stimulated, and completely happy. It was such a comfort knowing they were in such safe and caring hands, especially being such high-energy pups. Ami kept us updated with photos and messages, so we could enjoy our wedding without worrying for a second. We came home to two very content, relaxed, and clearly well-loved dogs. If you’re looking for someone who treats your fur babies like family — Ami is the one. ❤️🐾 10/10, would book again without hesitation!”

Well what can I say we had never used a dog/cat/ house sitter before but Phillip was first class he put us at ease straight away and Alvis our Labrador was immediately happy with him and seemed to have an instant connection.Phillip sent us daily updates with photos or short videos which was lovely and we could tell Alvis was a happy dog. When we returned home Phillip had not only cleaned the house but had stripped his bedding and placed in the washing machine, he had also done a couple of small jobs in the garden without being asked. We would definitely use Phillip again and would happily recommend him to anybody looking for a first class dog/ house sitter
Grace was a godsend! We were let down last minute by someone and I was in a panic looking for someone else. We met beforehand and she instantly made us feel at ease with how warm and relaxed she was. I will definitely book Grace again without a doubt. No issues and good communication.

Lili was an ideal sitter and I can’t speak highly enough about her. The two dogs loved her and Lili sent me photos to let me know they were ok. I had a lovely weekend knowing they were well looked after and the house was immaculate when I returned. Thank you so much Lili.

Maisie has already spent time with our two little ones on several occasions, and each time she has been absolutely wonderful. She’s gentle, reliable, and always keeps us updated, which really puts my mind at ease. The dogs clearly adore her — they greet her with excitement every time, and we always come home to two calm, happy pups. 🐾💛 We’re always happy to have her back — highly recommend!

Jake is a consummate professional when it comes to pet & House Sitting. We took off to India for 3 weeks, safe in the knowledge that our high energy, mischief seeking ,Working Cocker Spaniel would receive the best of care. We loved daily Whats App Video updates and came back to a home which Jake had left in an immaculate state.

Michael was brilliant with our German Shepherd Akira. We were nervous of leaving her with someone else, but he was so good with her. He gave her plenty of exercise and really clocked on to what she does and doesn’t like. Will definitely use Michael’s services again!
