Dog Sitting Marshalswick

About: I’ve done lots of pet sitting and dog walking in the past, and worked on the dog society committee at my university which involved walking and taking care of 2 gorgeous chocolate labs each week! I own a car so can travel and have 2 cats so plenty of experience with those. I am a recent university marketing graduate, so I am very flexible to what time and schedule suits you best. Whatever it is just let me know I am completely flexible with arrangements and happy to take dogs on as long walks as needed! I like to interact with animals as much as possible, whether that’s walking or playing.

“Emma was a great sitter - she was very friendly, clearly loves dogs and was reliable so we didn’t have to worry whilst we were out! Would definitely recommend her and use her again!”

About: Hi! I've had animals my whole life, and i can't wait to meet yours! I have been providing holiday care for other people's pets for a few years now, including cats, puppies and old boys. I have a cat who is used to these animal vistors, but the house is big enough that if they dont get along i cam keep them separated and happy. I also have two rabbits, but they're safe in an enclosed run in the garden! The garden is also a decent size for your doggy to sniff about happily. My children are all very respectful of animals and their space, but love a snuggle and a play when the animal is willing! I am home most of the day and would love to explore the many local parks with your dog. I tend to not leave the dog alone at all, instead taking them with me on my outings and errands. If your four legged friend wants a fun, family home with lots of friendliness then this is the sitter for you! I work part time from home. I don't like to leave dogs alone at all, and cats will not be alone for more than a couple of hours (not that they mind as much!) Animals who come to stay become part of the family. They eat before us, dogs come put with us, and cats stay cosy indoors with the house to explore. The garden is a good size, pets are allowed on the furniture , and maybe the beds if they're irresistable. I can go on walks as long as your dog needs, and will happily follow your instructions on how to play, interact or discipline your pet.

About: I have always loved animals, and specifically dogs. I got my lovely dog Max, when I was 16. I trained him, took him to the vets and have been obsessed with him ever since! I love taking him for long walks and playing endless fetch with him. After moving to university to do a zoology degree I missed him terribly so started walking a neighbours dog to fill the gap. Since then I’ve graduated from Newcastle with a BSc in Zoology, worked on a farm for two years and then worked at an emergency Vet hospital and referral practice. Ultimately, this inspired me to apply to go back to uni to study veterinary medicine which is what I’m doing now! I currently am a veterinary student studying at the Royal Veterinary College in London. My availability with vary term to term depending on my lectures etc. However, I love an early morning or evening walk so will be happy to organise walks and visits around my studies. I am unable to sit pets in my house. However, in a pet owners home I would foster safety and trust by quietly spending time with the animal until they were comfortable with me, before spending some time in the garden/ outdoors getting to know the animals personality and temperament. After this, if we are both happy, I would take them on a local walk.

“Imogen was so great at looking after our cat Barry! She understood exactly what he needed and took the time to play with him and give him lots of attention. Barry was so excited to see Imogen and even got the zoomies! We felt completely reassured knowing Barry was in such good hands, and we’ve already booked Imogen again. We’d definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone caring and reliable to look after their pets!”

About: I’ve owned dogs and horses my whole life. I currently have a small very well trained dog who I trained myself. She has lots of tricks and I am quite good at teaching these to new dogs. I’m currently not working so am very flexible and generally home most of the day. I will be getting back to work part time at the end of the summer however the days I am not in my partner usually is. I have a fenced in garden and 1 little dog to help keep yours company. She is very timid and gets on well with other dogs.

“Another stress free series of visits from Zahra. She responded quickly and helped me out when I had to go away for work. I won’t hesitate to have her look after my cat again.”

“Louise and her partner were absolutely brilliant! It was the first time I had ever left Rodney in hands of someone I never met before. He was super happy and excited to meet them and they reassured multiple times that he was ok, went to the toilet, fed him dinner & sent pictures of him out on a walk and in the garden so I was left at ease and able to enjoy my evening out for my partners birthday. Thank you both xx”

About: As a dedicated animal lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs of all shapes and sizes, I’m comfortable handling everything from daily walks to overnight stays. Growing up with my own pets and regularly assisting my mum, a professional dog walker, has equipped me with the skills I need. Having recently returned from travelling I now have a flexible schedule with availability on weekdays weekends and even last-minute bookings. I understand the trust you place in me and promise your pets will always be in safe loving hands. Having recently returned from travelling, I’m currently in between jobs which means I have a completely open and flexible schedule. I’m available any day of the week, including weekends and bank holidays, and am happy to accommodate last-minute or short-notice bookings. Your pet will always have my full, undivided attention! At home, I have my own pets and a warm welcoming environment with a garden so your pet will have plenty of space to relax and play. I’ll treat them just like one of my own, maintaining their usual routine as closely as possible including feeding walks and any medications or special requirements. I’m equally happy to come to your home which means minimal disruption for your pet. They’ll stay in their familiar environment with all their home comforts. I’ll take care of everything from feeding and walks to keeping them company and sending you regular updates so you’re always in good hands.

About: I have been around dogs my whole life, as my family have always had them, and I have had my own dog since I was 8 years old. He is now 15, so I also have experience caring for senior dogs and understand the extra patience, gentleness, and attention they can need as they get older. Alongside this, I have plenty of hands-on experience walking and caring for other people’s dogs. In the past, I regularly walked many dogs, including helping to walk two puppies for four years from when they were little during lockdown. I am also a regular dog sitter for trusted clients, and I always treat every dog as if they were my own. I am energetic and playful when needed, so I am more than happy to match the energy of lively or excitable dogs, but I also know when to slow things down and adapt to dogs who are older, calmer, or just want to relax. I also spend a lot of time with my partner’s cats, so I am very comfortable around cats too and genuinely love animals of all kinds. What makes me stand out is how naturally caring, attentive, and adaptable I am with animals. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I always aim to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable in my care. Pet care fits into my routine really naturally, as looking after animals has always been part of my life. I genuinely enjoy making time for walks, play, feeding, and company, and I am good at organising my week so pets get the care and attention they deserve. It never feels like a chore to me, it’s something I really love doing. I am currently finishing up my psychology degree and will have lots of free time to work around any pet sitting or dog walking needs, until I start my masters in January, then I’ll need to update my availability. I care for pets in an owner’s home by making sure they feel as relaxed and comfortable as possible in their usual environment. I always stick closely to their normal routine with feeding, walks, play, and rest, and I take the time to understand each pet’s personality so I can care for them in the way that suits them best. I also treat the owner’s home with great respect and would make sure it is kept clean, tidy, and secure at all times.

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and have always loved caring for them. Growing up, my mum always had dogs, and she still has a lovely black Labrador who I spend time with regularly. We’ve also had parrots and snakes, so I’m comfortable around different types of pets and understand that each one has their own needs and personality. My children have grown up with animals too and are kind, gentle and respectful around them. Although we don’t have a pet of our own because we enjoy travelling and wouldn’t feel it was fair to leave one behind, it means I genuinely enjoy looking after other people’s pets and giving them the love, attention and care they deserve while their owners are away. My brother works from home, so pets are rarely left alone and can enjoy plenty of company, cuddles, playtime and toilet breaks throughout the day. I’ll always treat your pet as if they were part of our own family, keeping them safe, happy and sticking to their usual routine as closely as possible. I run my own cleaning business, which gives me flexibility throughout the week, and my partner works from home full-time. This means pets staying with us would have plenty of company and wouldn’t regularly be left alone for long periods. We can provide regular toilet breaks, walks, playtime, feeding and lots of affection, while keeping to your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible to help them feel settled and secure. Your pet’s safety and happiness will always be my top priority. We have a fully enclosed, spacious garden where dogs can safely play and stretch their legs, and we’re lucky to have the beautiful Alban Way walking trail just a five-minute walk from our front door, as well as open fields directly behind our garden for lovely walks and plenty of sniffing adventures. Our children have grown up around animals and are gentle, calm and respectful with them, always understanding when pets need their own space. We’ll carefully follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, medication and any special requirements, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, loved and well cared for while you’re away.

About: Animals have always been at the heart of my life and my passion goes far beyond the home. When travelling abroad, I visit local dog shelters in Greece to donate and walk the dogs. I've explored a rabbit rescue café in Poland, and I regularly donate to rabbit shelters here in the UK, because rabbits are often one of the most overlooked and neglected pets. Caring for animals isn't just something I do, it's who I am. Over the years I've shared my home with an incredible variety of animals — a cat, two dogs, and currently two beloved rabbits. I've also cared for gerbils, tropical fish, a hamster, a gecko, and two pet rats. That breadth of experience means I'm comfortable and confident with all kinds of pets. What I offer - Medication admin - Grooming - Dog walking - In-home sitting - Pet enrichment - Litter tray care I have hands-on experience cat sitting and dog sitting in clients' homes and can provide references. I'm equally at ease with smaller animals: hamsters, fish, and more. References are available on request. Favourite regulars ❤️ 🐾 Pomeranian 🐾 Cockapoo 🐾 German Hunting Dog 🐱 Russian Blue 🐱 British Shorthair I'm flexible and available most of the day, which means I can adapt to your pet's routine rather than the other way around. Whether your dog needs a midday check-in or your cat prefers company in the afternoon, I can work around what suits them best. I'm happy to discuss timing in advance so we can set up a schedule that gives you complete peace of mind. I care for pets exclusively in your home, so your animal stays in the environment they know and love, no upheaval, no unfamiliar smells, no stress. I treat every client's home with the utmost respect, keeping things tidy and secure at all times. I'll always follow your specific instructions for routines, feeding, and any particular habits your pet has. With experience caring for a wide range of animals — from dogs and cats to rabbits, fish, and small mammals, you can trust that your pet is in safe, experienced hands.

About: Had 4 old English sheepdogs and used to training from young puppies stage. Know many other local dog owners and walkers and walk regularly around the whole area. Recently left my job so have more time now to concentrate in dog day care snd walking. Can't do Mondays normally as also do childcare that day. Would mainly do walking or care in owners home, and have many years experience raising nd looking after sheepdogs and occasionally family pets and animals.

“Ben & Aimee are very nice people and great at communicating! They dropped in twice every day for my dog Kobe while I was away for a few days. Really grateful for their help!”

About: I regularly dog sit for family and friends and have done for many years. I have cared for dog with simple needs and also more sensitive dogs with complex needs and thoroughly enjoy both. I feed, walk, bathe and interect with them with the care and attention as if they were my own. This makes me their number one choice for a dog sitter. I work full-time in London and so only have weekends to care for pets, but I am commited to spending my time off caring for animals. I love to be active and spend my time off exercising and exploring the local area. I live in an average sized flat with no garden but am surrounded by green space and exciting dog walks and go outside regularly, even without dogs. The flat has a decent sized lounge which makes an excellent home for a dog.

About: Dogs need us but sometimes we can't be there all the time. During this time you need someone you can trust to care for them in the comfort of a loving home, and make them feel secure in your absence. Allow me to provide this for you. I work 1 or two weeks per month for several months. The rest of the time I am off and full time mummy so have plenty room for a furry four legged baby during those times. Garden is fully fenced and secure. I've always had dogs growing up. Cavalier King Charles. They were always one of the family. Your dog will be treated like it's our own

“We were let down by another sitter and booked Emma to look after our cat, Scarlett, at short notice. Emma did a fantastic job: she provided detailed, daily updates, which reassured us that Scarlett was okay. We wouldn't hesitate to book her again.”

“Georgie was absolutely fab! Very communicative and gave us updates when popping in to see the cat. Came home to a very happy cat. Thank you Georgie!”
