“Curtis was amazing with Maple, he gave frequent updates of how she was doing and left the house cleaner than I left it! Maple loved him and Curtis had no problem walking her (even though she's a very excitable teenager) Thanks so much - I will definitely be using the service again :)”

“Alison house sat my 5 dogs and 1 cat. She is such a lovely, conscientious lady and as soon as I met her, I knew my pets would be in good hands. She kept me updated with lots of photographs and correspondence. Not only were the pets extremely well looked after but my house was immaculate on my return. I would definitely use her again and recommend her 100%.”
About: Hi! I'm Alison. I've been in the pet sitting community for almost 10 years, and look after dogs and cats, old and young. I'm a homeowner and live in a 3-bed terraced house, so there's plenty of room for your pet to roam. And there's a garden - no grass, but it's spacious and secure. I don't have any pets of my own. I'm fit so I can take your dog on a lovely long walk where needed. I'm confident administering medication if necessary. I have insurance to cover boarding, dog walking, drop-ins and sitting in your home. Let me know if you’d like to know more about that. I'll look after your pet as if they're one of the family! I can provide testimonials if required. I work mainly from home, and I'm fortunate to have a lot of flexibility, so I'm here 24/7 to cater to your pet's needs. I need to attend the office occasionally, but that's built into my calendar ahead of time My house and garden are secure, so your pet will be safe. It's just me at home so your pet will have my undivided attention.

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 Stars – Would 100% Book Again! We recently left our two dogs, Esmae and Gizmo, and our two cats, Luna and Lyra, with Destiny while we went away for a couple of nights to celebrate my partner's birthday. Like many pet owners, our animals are family, and I find it incredibly difficult to trust someone else to care for them. Destiny arranged a meet-and-greet before we confirmed the booking, which really helped put my mind at ease from the start. Destiny was friendly, professional, and punctual. Our little Gizmo took to her straight away, which is always a good sign! Esmae is a bit more of a diva and can take her time warming to people, and Luna is much the same, so I wasn't expecting instant friendships. Before our trip, Destiny took the time to ask lots of questions and make sure she fully understood everyone's routines, personalities, and needs. It was clear she genuinely cared about getting everything right and wanted the animals to feel as comfortable as possible while we were away. While we were away, we received regular updates, photos, videos, and voice notes, which made such a difference and really helped me relax and enjoy our time away. Esmae, our typically sassy and slightly standoffish Chihuahua, was completely won over by Destiny in less than three days and was happily cwtching up with her. Esmae also has epilepsy and unfortunately experienced a seizure while we were away. Thanks to all the conversations beforehand, Destiny recognised what was happening, understood the changes in Esmae's behaviour afterwards, and supported her brilliantly. What could have been a very stressful situation was handled calmly and confidently, and I felt reassured throughout thanks to Destiny's communication and updates. They both handled it like absolute champions. Gizmo, who is usually full of life, was clearly missing us while we were away. Destiny gave him plenty of TLC, reassurance, and attention, and took everything at his pace. He really enjoyed his walks with her and was clearly very well looked after. As a multi-species household, we also appreciated how well Destiny managed the different needs of both the dogs and cats. Lyra absolutely loved all the fuss and attention, and even Luna—who I'm still trying to win over myself—was happy spending time with Destiny! The biggest compliment I can give is that I spent less time worrying about the animals and more time enjoying our holiday because I knew they were in safe hands. Coming home to four happy, relaxed, and settled pets confirmed we'd made the right choice. I honestly can't recommend Destiny highly enough. Knowing our pets were safe, loved, and cared for as individuals meant the world to us. We would absolutely book with her again and, for the first time in a long while, feel confident about taking little trips away knowing we have someone we can truly trust to look after our animals. Thank you, Destiny, for taking such wonderful care of our little family. ❤️🐾🐶🐶🐱🐱 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Would 100% recommend and will definitely be booking again.”

“Chantalle was amazing with my dog Rexy. She took the time out of her day to come and visit him beforehand to make sure he was comfortable being around her. I was sent plenty of videos and photos while I was away keeping me in the loop with all the play time, dog walks and visits to the dog parks. Rexy even made a new best friend in Freddie. I would highly recommend Chantalle for anyone who’s looking for a dog sitter!”


“Jenni had my little puppy Ziggy overnight in my home. Jenni kept us updated throughout the day with messages & photos of Ziggy. Everything that I set out for Ziggy including feeding / playing etc was followed by Jenni, we were very grateful that Jenni could help us out in such short notice. Very reliable, loving and friendly. Will definitely keep Jenni in mind for future visits, and would highly recommend her service! Thank you 🐶”


About: Our family have been around and owned dogs our entire lives. My husband and I have been looking after family and friends dogs together for nearly 5 years. We are newly established as a licensed home boarders taking 2 doggy guests at a time alongside our two neutered boys, and we want to offer as much flexibility and tailoring as possible for you and your pets comfort! I work from home weekdays so dogs have plenty of company! We can do walks at breakfast, lunch and dinner time, and weekends we can go for nice long and more adventurous walks (weather and dog dependant!) We have a large fenced back garden, half grass and half stone/slabs, and a smaller fenced front garden with grass and stone, the dogs can go anywhere in our home except my daughters room in case of teddy theft! We have a huge sofa so there is plenty of space for cwtches! We are pretty relaxed, flexible and happy to make accommodations to make sure all dogs are as happy as possible.
“Sucheta looked after our 3 year old cockapoo for 2 weeks whilst we went on holiday. Sucheta took amazing care of Ted, we had daily updates, pictures and videos which was so reassuring. It was clear that Ted was happy and very well looked after. She would reply promptly to messages. I would highly recommend Sucheta to anyone and will definitely use her again. Thanks so much x”

About: I have grown up with dogs ever since I was young. My family work closely with a dog rescue charity and I have volunteered at it for 5 years, working with all breeds I have just finished my first year of university, meaning I’m very flexible and can work any time needed and can communicate very well I would love to house sit for you. As I’m in university I cannot have fur babies come over but I’m happy to travel as far as needed to deliver exceptional care
About: I've had black labradors in my family since I was 9. My parents have always relied on the to look after them by taking them on walks, feeding and generally being their best bud as they were to me. I currently own a house rabbit named Merlin who is king of his lair,but he is very sociable and playful. I am very confident in taking care of our fur babies, and I will give 100% love, care and attention to them. At the moment I am taking time out of work so I have flexibility to work around you and your pets. Weekends I am happy to do and weekdays. I don't have much of a garden, it's more of a yard, so no animal can escape. I have lovely parks in my area and loads of nice walks. I don't live on a main road but it can be busy
About: i’ve taken care of many dogs since i was younger, that’s including my own, family and friends. i enjoy doing activities with pets and showing them care i’m currently in college 3 days a week so i’ll have plenty of free time to give a hand in looking after anyone’s pets! x My dog is trained well, she always gets taken on walks and gets let out frequently, i love entertaining her and i will care for the pets unconditionally

Chloe is a star. We had travelled to a wedding and needed someone to look after Maggie in an unfamiliar setting. Maggie is an anxious reactive dog but Chloe was calm and Maggie settled really quickly. We got some lovely pupdates in the form of photos and videos so we could enjoy the night knowing Maggie was in safe hands. Thanks so much and looking forward to seeing you again in the future.

Chloe was brilliant. She is kind, gentle and so obviously adores dogs. Remy fell in love with Chloe and cried when she left. Chloe kept me updated throughout the day with messages, photos and videos. I felt so relaxed knowing that Remy was being so well looked after and cared for. Thank you so much Chloe. X
