“Lucy was amazing! Fred had a fantastic time with her and she was extremely responsive to any messages, took great care of my pet and my home, no hesitation in recommending Lucy!”
“Sybil lived Grainne instantly and I felt very comfortable leaving her. Accommodating of a last minute and late request, would definitely be happy to leave Sybil with Grainne again!”
“Imogen did such a great job sitting for our dog, Sandy. She came for a meet and greet beforehand, communication was great throughout, and we knew Sandy was being really well looked after. Sandy can sometimes be a little nervous with new people, but she was happy and comfortable around Imogen straight away. Highly recommend!”
About: I’m an experienced pet sitter who’s looked after all kinds of furry friends through other platforms and have years of personal pet care under my belt. As a lifelong dog owner, I know how important it is to keep them happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. I’m now looking for some daytime walking companions or overnight sits nearby. Happy to adapt to each pet’s routine and personality. I’m an experienced pet sitter and lifelong animal lover who’s cared for cats with every kind of personality. Whether they’re the type that wants snuggles all day, or just food put out and to be left alone, I can work around their unique style. I'll make sure each cat feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. On their terms, of course. I always treat your home and routines with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. I’ll follow any house rules you set, keep things tidy, and make sure your pet's space stays calm and familiar while you’re away.
“Thank you so much to Jamie, her partner and Carlton for taking such good care of my little Bondi boy! I felt so relaxed knowing he was with you🫶🏼 thank you for the updates and pictures and for keeping me posted the whole time ❤️ This was the second time Jamie has taken care of Bondi, and just like the first time, everything went so smoothly and perfectly❤️”

About: I have had dogs since I was born and couldn't imagine live without them! I have looked after family and friends dogs throughout my life and love meeting new doggies to spend time with :) I currently work from home 2 days a week, but can be flexible. I also often have spare time on the weekends where it would be lovely to have some company in the form of a four-legged friend. My flat allows dogs and I live near the marina which is ideal for doggies. I don't have any pets myself and have experience looking after all types of dogs!
About: I’m a reliable and caring pet sitter based in Manchester who genuinely loves spending time with animals. I have a dog who lives in Jersey, and since moving away I really miss being around pets, which is why pet sitting is such a great fit for me. I have experience caring for both cats and dogs and can provide testimonials from previous owners. Unfortunately, I’m unable to have pets of my own where I currently live, so I truly value every opportunity to look after and spend time with animals. I also hold a clean DBS check and, as a university student, I’m flexible and able to fit pet sitting around my studies. Your pets will be safe, well cared for, and given plenty of attention and affection while you’re away. I am currently a student at university so looking to do pet sitting around my studies. I am at university 3 times a week. Monday, Tuesday and Thursday and will have extra availability when the university is closed for break. if I am caring for someone’s pet I ensure that there pet is safe from harm at all times and ensure that there is nothing out that would harm their pet and that the doors are securely locked to prevent their pet from escaping.

We received plenty of photo and video updates as well as regular check ins. You can tell that Kayley really cares for all the animals she works with, which is great for pets and owners. Thanks again!”

“This is the second time we’ve had Sendy look after our two dogs! She is absolutely fantastic! She keeps us updated with pictures, and both dogs absolutely adore her! She always leaves the house lovely and tidy! Huck and Penny can’t wait to see her again in October!! X”
“Ferlin came and sat with our poorly dog so that my partner and I could go out worrying free to a long planned event. Our dog is a grumpy little thing but Ferlin was great with him. They arranged a pre-sit meeting to meet our dog and make sure everyone knew what was needed/expected which was really helpful. We got an update half way through our evening with a picture and our dog was happy and safe when we got back. We were very pleased and will absolutely call upon Ferlin again if we need another sitter.”
“Our dogs had a great time with Katherine. She was really helpful in the build up and on the day. We got lots of pics and updates. This is the 2nd time we’ve used her and we absolutely will again.”
“Gabrielle is great! She’s so prompt at communicating, we get lots of messages and photos when we are out and costi is always so excited to see her. She’s now our go-to sitter 😊”
About: I’ve had the chance to care for all kinds of pets — from energetic puppies to sweet senior dogs who just want a calm companion. I grew up with a Rottweiler and a German Shepherd, so I’m very comfortable handling larger breeds as well. I’m quite calm and patient, which helps pets feel relaxed around me. I adjust to their personality — whether they need playtime and stimulation or just quiet company and cuddles. I live in a 2b2b flat plenty space for them to play I also sell natural meaty treats for dogs and cats (freeze-dried and air-dried). If you book with me, you’ll get a discount on treats — and for longer bookings, I’m happy to include some for free 🐾✨ Dm for more info pictures 🐔🦆🐮🐟🐥 For first-time bookings, I offer 15% off — feel free to message me for details 😊 Hi! I’m a recent graduate with a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to give your pet the attention they deserve. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company, I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making them feel safe and happy while you’re away. Your pet’s comfort and routine are always my priority. Whether your pet stays with me or I come to your home, their safety and comfort always come first. If they’re staying with me, I’ll make sure they have their own cozy space to relax, along with their bowls, toys, and bedding so they feel secure. We’ll stick to their usual routine as much as possible — regular walks, playtime, feeding times, and of course plenty of attention and cuddles. I always supervise play and keep the environment calm and safe. If I’m caring for them in your home, I’ll follow their normal schedule closely so everything feels familiar and stress-free. I respect your space, keep things clean and tidy, and make sure your pet feels comfortable while you’re away. My goal is always the same — a happy, relaxed pet and total peace of mind for you.

Nadine looked after our slightly anxious three year rescue for the weekend and I’d fully recommend her to others. She was friendly, super communicative and our dog loved her so much that she cried when she left. We’ll definitely be rebooking her when we next go away.
We had a great experience with Enriketa. This was our first time using a dog sitter. Enriketa came came round twice to meet our dogs and us. She is really friendly and puf us at ease that we were leaving our dogs and home with someone who was capable and we felt we could trust with our dogs and home. Enriketa kept us informed of what was going on and sent daily pictures. We would certainly use Enriketa again and would be more than happy to recommend her to friends.
Sofie is a wonderful Dogsitter. Carson, our very anxious and reactive whippet, took to her immediately. Sophie just had a gentle and relaxed way with him that meant he attached to her and trusted her completely. She was also super helpful when we got stuck abroad cos of the weather and couldn’t get back to UK on time. Flexible and communicative, Sophie is the ideal person to book!
Francesca is amazing! She looked after our siberian cat over the xmas period and he's never been better cared for. She kept us updated with plenty of photos and videos and formed a real bond with Biscuit, who is a cat who craves company and cuddles. Couldn't recommend her more!
I cannot recommend Lily enough, she was so friendly and accommodating and we so appreciated her coming to sit the two dogs over the holidays. She is very gentle and patient with the dogs (one of whom is very big!) - and they seemed completely happy and settled with Lily. We are already hoping to book with her again for future stays. Thank you so much Lily xx
Thank you so much to Jamie, her partner and Carlton for taking such good care of my little Bondi boy! I felt so relaxed knowing he was with you🫶🏼 thank you for the updates and pictures and for keeping me posted the whole time ❤️ This was the second time Jamie has taken care of Bondi, and just like the first time, everything went so smoothly and perfectly❤️
Helen was absolutely amazing looking after our home and 2 kittens over Christmas. It was our first separation so we were nervous, but it couldn’t have gone better! Helen is attentive, thoughtful and super communicative. She sent us lots of pictures and updates throughout the stay. We will 100% use her again and can’t thank her enough!
Helen and Jakob were amazing looking after three attention seeking dogs. They sent photos and kept in contact throughout our time away. We met them beforehand which was a nice touch, and the puppies loved spending time with them. I would definitely recommend them 🐾
Daisy was so great at looking after my kitten, he is super fussy and doesn’t often cuddle anybody apart from me and my partner and he absolutely loved her. He was even cuddling her on the sofa ! Knowing he was super happy with her from the updates and pictures she sent, it ensured I could then relax and enjoy my weekend away! I would 100% recommend and will be booking her again! ☺️ It feels so good to have found a great cat sitter!
