“Alvin absolutely loves Charlotte and is always excited for his walks with her. Charlotte is lovely and arranging suitable dates/times in advance is always easy. Alvin would be lost without his walks either Charlotte!”
“Another drop in for our 3 today… no walks as too hot so some fun in the garden with the paddling pool instead. Great peace of mind for me knowing the dogs are getting well looked after…”


About: I have had dogs all my life. I have had small and large dogs and experience of walking and caring. My dog Luna now is a great Dane and enjoy walking up mountains and to rivers. I have a good level of fitness so able to take dogs on similar walks if wanted. I work full time as a nurse but looking for enjoyment on my days off I currently work full time as a nurse. I do shift work so am able to dedicate time to something I really enjoy. I love being outdoors and have a good level of fitness. I have experience of looking after dogs and have my own dog since a puppy. She initially was a very nervous puppy but with patient she is a fab dog now who enjoys being out and with my children.
About: I've taken care of dogs my whole life as we've always had one as a family pet. I've also taken friends and neighbours dogs for walks along with dog sitting them. I always make a lovely bond and always make sure all animals are well looked after as they are more family than animals Pet care becomes a natural part of my own daily rhythm it’s woven into my schedule almost like clockwork. Here’s how it typically fits in: Morning: Wake-up nudge: Your dog might be your alarm clock. First task? A quick potty break or walk. Feeding time: You prep their breakfast while maybe grabbing your own. Grooming check: A quick brush, paw check, or wiping off muddy paws if needed. Midday: Exercise/play: Whether you're on a lunch break or home during the day, this is a chance to stretch legs and play fetch or tug. Mental stimulation: Maybe a puzzle toy, a training session, or even just some one-on-one time. Evening: Walk or play session: A wind-down activity that burns off energy. Feeding and clean-up: Dinner and water refill, along with any tidying up. Affection/cuddles: Pets need emotional care, too. This could be snuggle time on the couch while you relax. Before Bed: Bathroom break: One last trip outside. Health checks: You might slip in a quick ear check, teeth brushing, or meds if needed. I have a fenced off garden front and back due to having my own dogs with a side gate, dogs will not get out alone
“Robyn came over to meet my dog Jasper before the walk and he took to her straight away. The photos and videos show he had a great time and it was great for me to see him happy in my absence. I will definitely be booking Robyn again!”

About: I grew up around working dogs and will be looking to get my own dog soon! I love dogs and I always have, myself and my partner have also got two spoiled cats in our house so I have experience with cats also. I have dogsat for friends and family and wholly loved the experience, I also trained all of my own dogs growing up so I fully understand that every animal has their own unique traits and personality. I'm always available to pop in and take care of your pets! Be it a short toilet break and water check or a good long walk, I'm happy to learn your rules and expectations and make sure that your animal is as happy as possible while I'm around. And if they're not the social type - thats fine too! I'll always have water with me on walks to make sure we both stay hydrated. I'll keep your dog on a lead at all times and am happy to take less social dogs out at quieter times to ensure they get a good walk in. I'm also happy to film and photograph both home visits and walks so you know your pet is receiving the best care possible while you're away. I also 100% encourage a meet and greet beforehand for you and your animal, so they can get a sizing of me and so you know who you're dealing with!
About: Hey! I have more than 10 years of experience taking care of domestic and farm animals of all kinds across a number of platforms and countries! There's been pets in my family home for as long as I can remember. Our first pets were stray kittens that my sister and I found at the bottom of our garden when I was around 8 and that's what started us off on our cat craze! Teddie the golden lab joined us in my early teens and lived in harmony with the cats. I love to travel and have been blessed enough to look after amazing animals throughout Europe in the last 4 years through a number of platforms to great success. Everything from ducks and chickens to goats and donkeys to cats and dogs of course, have been under my care in every regard from eating, sleeping, napping, training and medical needs. Anything specified by the owners is always carried out by me with the utmost of care like they're my own :) I have a car and love to travel, so I am super flexible and available. My schedule is extremely malleable around any particular routines your pet has whether that be medical, or feeding, sleep or exercise related. I absolutely adore canine and feline company and that's what I'm here for. They will always have my utmost focus and be my absolute priority. Until I have pets of my own again, I relish this opportunity to spend quality time with some new lovely furry friends. The only killer is when I have to leave and I've gotten so attached to them :( I do my utmost to assimilate into your pet's life so maximise comfort for them while you're away and absolutely miminise disruption to what feels normal to them.

About: Hiya, I’m a 23 year old girl living away from home and missing her family fur baby, I’d love the chance to walk or sit with any pets as I’m missing mine. I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 14, raising a golden lab and German shepherd from puppies along with dog sitting for multiple family friends. I’ve dealt with all the puppy raptor teething and teenage years but I’ve also cared for my lab towards the end of his life, administering medications and carrying him upstairs so he can sleep in my bed or even bringing my mattress downstairs to sleep with him on the floor when he couldn’t make it up (as seen in pictures). I have lots of training experience as both dogs were rescued as strays and needed training, our German shepherd is a very nervous reactive boy who required some specialist training. My German shepherd is also hypoallergenic so I have an extensive knowledge about pet food ingredients and safety. I’ve also dog sat for multiple family friends where I got to take care of a gorgeous pitty and a golden doodle for multiple days taking them on regular walks, bonding with them, following feeding rules/schedules, and lots of belly scratches of course. I work hybrid so I am only away from home 2 days a week. I have a park less than a 2 minute walk from my front door that I love going to. I’m usually up for a run (or walk depending how lazy I’m feeling) in the morning then a walk on my lunch break and then out again after work. My weekends are full of fun hikes and adventures that I would love some company for. I have an enclosed flat with lots of space your fur baby to roam, I have a park around the corner from me for potty breaks and games of fetch. I am happy to crate your dog or have a cuddle buddy in my bed whichever you prefer I’m happy to accommodate accordingly on anything.

I have lived with and looked after a variety of breeds and have experience with larger dogs too.

Currently only offering pet sitting in their own home. It’s important to me that your pet is safe and comfortable in somewhere they know. I will ask all about their routine and how best they usually like to spend their days, so I can continue to make them happy and comfortable when you’re not there.
About: I love dogs and grew up with a Bedlington terrier for 14+ years, I also worked day to day with a Cavachon for 1+ years.

About: Taken care of many dogs since growing up , from family sheep dogs on the farm to walking neighbours dogs while away and friends dogs while on holiday or a emergency I work as a free lance so most weekends are currently free and can be taken for short walks or long hikes for the day. I have a massive lake that’s 5 min fromthe house where I can take for walks alongside a big open field, plenty of open spaces in around , so could potentially drive them to different places depending on preference of the owner.
