About: Having grown up with animals my whole life, I love spending time with pets of all shapes and sizes. I grew up with two cats and I currently live with my own chatty kitten, so I’m more than comfortable with them and practically fluent. I also have a lovely Border Collie, so I know how important it is to give energetic dogs the exercise and mental stimulation they need. Additionally, I have 4 years of experience walking with borrow my doggy. Thanks for your consideration:) Pet care currently fits perfectly into my daily routine, especially as a recent graduate with a flexible schedule and no major commitments right now. Available for anything from quick walks to overnight stays:) While I’m unable to bring any pets back to my own home due to my cat, I’m more than happy to look after yours in the comfort of their own environment. Of course, I’m fully respectful of your home and will always leave it as I found it, whilst prioritising the safety and happiness of your pet.

About: I have been a devoted pet lover from a young age, growing up with two dogs — a Maltese and a Yorkshire Terrier — which gave me a deep understanding of canine behaviour and needs. I have also been a cat owner since 2023, caring for two beautiful cats, a Ragdoll and a Golden British Shorthair. This experience has taught me to understand different pet personalities and provide attentive, loving care. Friends and family have trusted me to look after their pets, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I take pride in keeping owners updated with regular photos and messages, so you can enjoy your time away with complete peace of mind.

I will keep all doors and windows secure, follow any specific instructions you leave, and send regular photo and video updates throughout the day so you always know your pet is happy and safe.
“Gabriella is really professional and communicates well. Even took time to come and meet us prior to the walk. She quickly bonded with Leia. I will use her again for sure in the future.”


About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience caring for animals. I grew up on a farm surrounded by a variety of animals, which taught me from an early age the importance of patience, kindness, responsibility and understanding each animal’s individual needs. I know that every dog has their own personality, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable and loved while in my care. I’m currently taking a career break, which gives me the flexibility to make pet care a meaningful part of my daily routine. I really enjoy spending time with animals and have the time to provide them with the attention, companionship and care they deserve. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding routines, medication, or simply keeping them company, I’m able to offer a calm and reliable presence while their owners are away. I provide a safe, calm and caring environment for every pet. Having grown up on a farm surrounded by animals, I understand the importance of patience, routine and treating each pet as an individual. I take the time to follow their usual routines and make sure they feel comfortable, secure and well looked after.
About: ✨Passionate and Experienced: I’ve always had a deep love for animals. I spent a lot of time caring for my grandfather’s two dogs, feeding them and making sure they were happy and healthy. During my time working at a private café, I also helped my boss care for two dogs and three cats, handling their daily meals, activities, and walks. This hands-on experience has taught me so much about animal care. I’ve even looked after some stray dogs near my home, offering them comfort and companionship. These experiences have made me realize that each pet has its own unique personality and needs, and my goal is always to make them feel safe and happy. ✨Natural Affinity: Animals of all kinds have always come naturally to me—not just dogs and cats, but also rabbits, ducklings , hamsters, turtles, and so on.I treat them as true friends and companions, with patience and genuine care. ✨Patient and Genuine: One of my most memorable experiences was with a Corgi named Puff, whom I cared for regularly. His owner, concerned he might run off but unable to find the time to care for him properly, had kept him tied up in the backyard, which made him quite restless. I took him out to the park every day, bought him toys, and taught him how to play. Over time, he became much more cheerful and confident, even initiating interactions on his own. Seeing Puff’s transformation was truly rewarding. ✨Attentive and Responsible: Before caring for different breeds, I make a point of researching their specific needs, from diet and exercise to health considerations, so I can give them the best possible care. For example, I know that smaller dogs need extra warmth in winter, while larger dogs benefit from ample exercise space. I believe every animal is unique, and I strive to cater to their individual needs. ✨Energetic and Dedicated: I have plenty of energy and rarely get tired, so I can keep up with energetic dogs during playtime or walks, ensuring they get enough exercise and enjoyment. 🫡Reassurance: When caring for pets, I will keep owners updated with regular photos and short videos if they need , so they can feel connected to their pets even while away. For me, this is more than just a job—it’s a joyful journey of building a meaningful bond with each little life I care for! 🥹❤️ ⏰ Right now, I don’t have any other work commitments, so my schedule is very open and flexible. I’m usually available from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day to care for pets. So I can easily adjust to each pet’s routine, giving them the attention they need at the times that suit them best 🐶 Currently, I’m focused on offering dog walking and pet care in the owner’s home. For Dog Walking 🌳🦮 I will tailor outing based on the dog’s age, energy level, and personality, choosing safe, pet-friendly spots like local parks or green spaces. For younger or less active dogs, I opt for shorter, slower-paced routes, while more energetic dogs get longer walks to help them burn off energy. For Drop-In Visits 🏠🐕🐱 I‘ll make sure to follow the owner’s advice to keep the pet’s usual routine—whether it’s feeding, playtime, or rest. For pets with special needs, like puppies, senior dogs, or those with health concerns, I can adjust the activities according to the owner’s guidance to make sure they’re comfortable and safe. 📲I also keep in touch with owners regularly, sending photos or short videos after each visit so they can feel connected and know their pet is doing well 🐶😸

“Olivia is absolutely smashing it with my rescue pup. He loves her company and always comes back happy and tired (yay!!!!) she is always really communicative and took the time to put my mind at ease as my pupper has reactivity issues. His wee report card after walks is brilliant. Would highly recommend”

About: I have several years of experience caring for both dogs and cats. Growing up, I had my own dog, a poodle, which taught me the responsibilities of daily pet care such as feeding, walking, grooming, and giving them the attention and exercise they need. Currently, I have two cats at home, so I am very familiar with their routines, including feeding, litter box cleaning, grooming, and playtime. Caring for my own pets has helped me understand how important patience, consistency, and a calm environment are for animals. In addition, I have experience looking after cats and dogs through another pet-sitting app, where I provided reliable care through drop-in visits and walks. I always focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and well looked after while their owners are away. Pet care fits naturally into my current routine as I am currently taking a career break, which gives me a very flexible schedule. This allows me to be available throughout the day for drop-in visits and dog walks, ensuring pets receive the attention, care, and consistency they need. With the extra time in my schedule, I am able to plan visits carefully and make sure each pet is looked after properly without rushing. I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owners are away. I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and trusting environment for every pet I care for. I understand how important it is for pet owners to feel confident that their pets are in reliable and responsible hands. I offer drop-in visits and dog walking services, ensuring pets receive proper care, attention, and companionship while their owners are away. I do not provide boarding services. I also have prior experience caring for both cats and dogs through another pet-sitting app, which has helped me build strong skills in understanding different pet personalities and maintaining their routines in a comfortable and secure environment.

“Emma is a great carer. We've worked together on Carbee's regular weekly walkie and she also stayed in our flat to look after Carbee while we are away for weekend. Emma has been very trustable, patient and with great communication! Definitely recommend her services”

“We booked with Carlin for a walk with our young puppy and he was very communicative throughout the process, attuned to the puppy’s attitude and made sure he had multiple toilet stops. Everything we needed while we were out for a few hours. Carlin’s care was top notch.”

Sam has been an amazing dog walker, highly recommend! As our first ever dog walker he’s taken so much worry off us with his genuine care for our dog, always on point and great communication. He understands our dogs needs being more reactive and has handled this incredibly making her very happy and us stress free :)
Eve is just fab as always, took on a very last minute booking and was such a help and very flexible. Riley seems to really warm to her and I always get amazing full updates and pictures of their walk. So lovely to know he's in such good hands and she even said hello to the cat too whilst we were out. Thank you!

I recently had the pleasure of meeting, Zaynah who has recently started her dog walking service in the M14 area , and I couldn't be more impressed. We arranged a meet and greet for my 10-year-old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Ruben. As an older dog, Ruben is very set in his ways and can be quite stubborn at times. However, the moment he met Zaynah, his tail was wagging and he immediately wanted lots of cuddles, which spoke volumes to me. Zaynah took the time to ask plenty of questions about Ruben, including his likes and dislikes, any medication he takes, how he interacts with other dogs, whether he enjoys playing games, and if he can be trusted off the lead. Her thorough approach and genuine interest in understanding Ruben's needs immediately put my mind at ease. We then arranged for Zaynah to take Ruben out for a walk. As they were still getting to know each other, Ruben did give her a bit of a run-around, but she handled it with patience, kindness, and good humour throughout. Zahan is a charming, confident, reliable, and trustworthy young lady who clearly cares about the dogs she looks after. I would have no hesitation in recommending her to anyone looking for someone special to care for and walk their fur babies. Knowing Ruben is in such capable hands gives me complete peace of mind.

Zara has been an absolute god send for us. At short notice after our previous dog walker let us down she has managed to fit Vera (our little but very boisterous pug) into her routine. Zara walks Vera three times per week, is always on time, communicates with us frequently and is confident and professional in her interactions. We have complete trust to let Zara into our home and to look after Vera. We would highly recommend her services and couldn’t have hoped for a better person to look after Vera. 5 stars all the way.

Brooke is a fantastic dog walker. She handled our dog-reactive large greyhound (Thomas) expertly. She was always prompt picking him up. She responds quickly to messages and communicates very well. She provides the CUTEST pictures and updates from the walks. Thomas absolutely adores her. Only downside is his little heart will be broken tomorrow when he realises Brooke is not coming to take him for his morning walk. We would have been lost without her this week!

Reus had such a great time with Ching—he looked genuinely happy in every single picture! I was getting updates constantly, which made me feel really at ease. You can tell he was well cared for and enjoying himself the whole time. I’d 100% recommend him and will definitely be booking again.

Alex has been wonderful with my rescue dog. She took time to understand my dog’s needs and behaviours and her wealth of experience shows. Alex is very responsive and communicative with bookings, pick-ups, drop offs and how their walk went. She has gone out of her way to take my dog on walks/places she enjoys despite her mobility issues. Thanks, Alex 🐶

Daniela is great with our dog Yuki, he is wary of new people, but got comfortable very quickly with Daniela and enjoyed his walk. We received pictures throughout the walk and full report on what was he up to 😊 we are booking some more walks with Daniela for next week😁 thank you!
