“Alison took care of my cat Bella for two weeks and I can’t sing her praises enough. What a lovely caring lady, my cat settled in well which was a great relief as I’d not left her before.

“Lucy was incredible start to finish. We were unfortunately let down 5 days before our wedding and were left with no sitter for our lovely Alfie. We met Lucy ahead of the date with her gorgeous family and all our reservations and worries were put to ease. She’s been nothing short of amazing sending regular updates and pictures and saved us in a time of need! We would highly recommend Lucy and her family, they really did treat our Alfie as one of their own! What a stunning family! X”

About: I’ve been around dogs most of my life, and for 13 wonderful years I cared for two family dogs who were truly part of our home. I miss them every day, and they’re a big reason why I love having dogs around they bring so much joy, energy, and comfort. These days, I look after friends’ dogs, and I make sure each one feels like family while they’re with me. Whether it’s going for walks, playing, or just relaxing together, I enjoy every moment I get to spend with them. I’m attentive to their routines, personalities, and needs, and I always aim to create a warm, safe environment where they feel happy and loved. With years of personal experience and a genuine passion for caring for dogs, I’m dedicated to giving every pet the same affection and attention I gave my own. I work from home, which makes it easy to incorporate pet care into my daily routine. I have plenty of time throughout the day to play with the dogs, take them out for walks, and give them attention whenever they need it. Because I’m home, they’re never left alone for long and can enjoy a relaxed, comforting environment. I’m available to board on weekends and on weekdays from 9 AM, and I’m happy to discuss scheduling if a little flexibility is needed. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I enjoy having dogs around as part of my day. In my home, pets are cared for in a safe, comfortable, and attentive environment. I have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can play and get fresh air securely. If your dog is used to being crated, I can easily accommodate that and follow whatever routine they’re most comfortable with. I’m also experienced in giving medications exactly as prescribed and caring for senior dogs who may need a little extra patience and support. My goal is to make every pet feel relaxed, loved, and well looked after while they stay with me.
“Lauren was absolutely amazing with my dog cooper I was so nervous about leaving him but she reassured me I was sent photos everyday and she looked after him well. I will be using Lauren again fantastic!”

About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my strong background in animal care combined with years of hands-on, real-life experience. I studied Animal Care at college for almost five years, which gave me a solid understanding of animal behaviour, welfare, and the importance of proper daily care. Alongside my studies, I have spent much of my life caring for my own dogs and cats, as well as looking after pets for friends and family who trusted and relied on me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their animals while they were away. This experience has taught me how important routine, patience, and individual attention are for keeping pets happy and relaxed. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all care. Every pet is different, and I take the time to understand their needs, personalities, and routines so they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for in my hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. Although I work full time Monday to Friday, I have plenty of free time before and after work, allowing me to give pets the attention, care, and consistency they need. I’m available for boarding on weekdays after 17:00, as well as throughout weekends, when I can dedicate even more time to walks, play, and companionship. My routine is calm and structured, which helps pets settle quickly and feel comfortable in my care. Mornings and evenings are always focused on feeding, walks, playtime, and one-to-one attention, ensuring pets never feel rushed or overlooked. Weekends offer even more flexibility, making them ideal for longer stays, extra walks, and relaxed time together. Whether it’s weekday evenings or weekend boarding, your pet will be welcomed into a safe, caring environment where their routine and wellbeing always come first. Your pet’s safety and wellbeing are always my top priority. My home is fully fenced, providing a secure outdoor space where pets can enjoy fresh air safely under supervision. I also have CCTV cameras both inside and outside the property, offering an extra layer of security and constant monitoring for complete peace of mind. While in my care, each pet will be fitted with an AirTag, allowing their location to be tracked at all times. This added precaution ensures that, should the unexpected ever occur, your pet can be located quickly and easily. In addition to these measures, I closely supervise all pets, follow their usual routines, and take time to understand their individual needs and boundaries. My aim is to create a safe, calm, and secure environment where you can feel confident knowing your pet is protected and well cared for at all times.
“Chloe looked after our Esme this past week in her home. We couldn’t be happier with her and the way in which she’s treated Esme. Our dog suffers with anxiety as she was a rescue. Chloe clearly knows what she is doing in this area. We had daily updates and photos. Esme was so happy there and we couldn’t have asked for more. I would recommend Chloe to anyone”

About: I offer reliable and loving pet sitting services. Our home is pet-friendly and welcoming, and I share it with my gentle and friendly Labrador, who gets along wonderfully with other pets. Whether you're heading out of town or just need a helping hand, you can trust that your furry family member will be treated like one of our own in a safe, happy, and caring environment. I am friendly, responsible, and passionate about animals—your pet’s comfort and well-being are my top priorities. I own a spacious home with a large, secure garden where pets can play and relax freely. I am also lucky to live near several lovely parks, which I visit daily for long walks with my Labrador—morning and evening. Your dog will enjoy plenty of fresh air, exercise, and attention during their stay with me. Pet care is a daily priority—feeding, walking, grooming, and playtime. It keeps us grounded, builds routine, and strengthens our bond with our lab companion . I maintain routines, give lots of attention, ensure clean spaces, administer meds if needed, and create a calm, loving environment whether at our home or yours.

About: I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, providing daily walks, feeding, playtime, and lots of affection. I treat every dog like my own. I work shifts that are very random with lots of time off so I always have time to visit your pets when I am needed.

About: We have our own little dog, Juno, who is two and I have been caring for and walking my nephew dog for 8 years as well. When I was a kid I would walk my neighbour's dog. My partner, who I'm setting this account up with, has many many years of experience of all kinds of pets - everything from ferrets, to pigeons, to our lovely dog. She also has experience with rescue and rehabilitation. So your animal friends will be safe and cared for in our hands I work from home, so my schedule is flexible. We live in Powys and Caerphilly, travelling between the two frequently, so we can cover a wide range of areas We have a fenced garden and a very friendly little dog, called Juno, who is two. If your cat is dog friendly, Juno would also love the chance to befriend a cat. It might be her lifelong wish to become a cat, in fact. We have lots of toys, dog beds, feeding bowls, treats, etc. Animals are allowed on the furniture and bed and we would of course check diet and other needs with you first.
“First time leaving Jake my senior rescue dog (11 yrs old) for a couple of days. Gage was amazing he took a real interest in Jake and his needs. I was kept up to date with his stay and Gage asked important relevant questions when needed. Gage appeared to understand Jake’s personality and allowed him to settle and readjust at his own pace. Good amount of time spent out walking/exercising which Jake appeared to have loved 🥰 Would certainly recommend and would book again especially with Jake’s rescue background. Home comforts and human contact allowed Jake and me to have a lovely break away. Thank you Gage 😃”
