Charlotte was fantastic with her drop ins with our fur babies, even meeting us beforehand so they knew her...had their walk and cwtches as normal, always turning up on time..making sure they had their food when needed and their water was filled up...

Such a positive experience as a first time user of support for my Border Terriers. Alison was professional punctual and communicative which all made the experience very smooth..but more importantly my dogs took to her and her home instantly and the videos and pictures made me fear they may not want to come home! Next stay is already booked 😁

About: I've always had animals growing up varying from cats and dogs to hamsters and fish so I understand the care and trust required to taking care of them. I have taken care of animals with my family from a young age including cat and dog sitting as well as daily check ins, socialising and feeds. Most recently I have been on standby for relatives pets when I'm available, usually during school holidays however decided that it's time to offer my services to the wider community. I have had experience training two of my own puppies as well as providing senior care to my relatives dog when sitting, including providing medication. Typically in term time, I am a teacher meaning my availability shortens to evenings and weekends however from June - September I work from home and can therefore be flexible to work around what's best for you and your pet. During school holidays my availability will become larger rather than being evening and weekend based. I'm currently working on a zero hour contract therefore my weekly schedule is super flexible as I work from home. I have my own dog so tend to take him out twice a day alongside a morning and evening feed with lots of playing in between! Due to my flexibility I can work around your schedule to ensure your furry friends are cared for. I am happy to come over for a home visit prior to your first booking to meet yourselves as well as your pet(s) to ensure they have a level of familiarity with me upon the first time we go on a walk or pop in for a visit. This allows you to see how comfortable your pet(s) will be in my company for peace of mind along side allowing me to gain any information from you such as feed times / amounts / walking routes your pet is most comfortable with or toys they enjoy playing with the most.

Tegan was very flexible and available at short notice today. She was accommodating to my needs for dog sitting and showed up on time. Tegan made a real effort with my dog and kept me updated on how the sitting session was going! Tegan is a lovely person and I felt like I could trust her in my home and especially with my dog I will definitely be a regular customer. Thank you ❤️

About: I’ve cared for dogs for many years, beginning with family and friends’ dogs, helping with walking, feeding, and day-to-day care. Four years ago, after a change in jobs, I welcomed my own dog, Booby a English Springer Spaniel so I’m very familiar with high-energy breeds and the importance of regular exercise, mental stimulation, and routine. Daily walks and outdoor time are a big part of my life. I’m calm, reliable, and attentive to each dog’s individual needs. I understand that energetic dogs need both structure and patience, and I’m happy to tailor walks or visits to suit their personality, pace, and routine. I’ll always treat your dog as if they were my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I work full time, so I offer dog walking and drop-in visits during evenings and at weekends. This fits naturally into my routine as I already spend much of my free time outdoors walking with my own dog. I’m organised, reliable, and happy to stick to agreed times and routines. Your dog’s safety and wellbeing are always my top priority. I carefully follow owner instructions, keep dogs secure on leads during walks, and make sure they feel comfortable and settled during visits. I’m calm, attentive, and respectful of your home, and I’m always happy to provide updates and photos for peace of mind.

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up on the Gower with a country-farm lifestyle meant daily life with all sorts of companions! From the little ones (my hamster was called Ray Charles) to the ones with wings (chickens and pigeons) through to kitties, dogs, goats and even horses. That upbringing shaped my passion for compassionate, patient care, especially for rescue animals who need a little extra understanding. I’m confident with different temperaments and ages, happy to follow detailed instructions, and committed to welfare-first - it is always stress-free care. I treat every pet like family as that’s what they deserve! I work remotely and currently work from home Wednesday - Friday, which means I have plenty of time for fuss, play, and pop-in visits across the week. I’m a very active person, getting some fresh air at lunchtime and after work to mentally reset - furry friends are essential companions! Weekends I’m very flexible and able to provide longer term sitting solutions, including overnight care. I currently have two beautiful (and probably a little spoiled) tabby cats and a lively cocker spaniel puppy! My cats spend time indoors and outdoors with a designated safe and quiet space in my attic with lots of cosy cubbies, cat towers and toys. I have a fully enclosed garden with lawn (which is great for snuffle activities) with a level patio for play with toys and little games of fetch.

About: My family and I had a West Highland terrier who lived till the ripe old age of 21! We adopted him from my grandad when he passed, who also had 5 previous westies all called skye-original I know!! I am a very active person who lives the company of a dog. I would be quite often found walking on the south west coastal path or along a beach somewhere. Unfortunately I work full time so it would be impractical for me to have my own. Most recently my parents welcomed the most beautiful working cocker spaniel, Stan, into their lives, who I also adore. I work full time Monday -friday but free after 5pm on week days and all day weekends. However, please message me as I can be flexible. We have an enclosed walled garden, with a gate. We also have full wooden flooring on the first floor of the house. Easy to clean!

About: Hey! We’re Shan & Jam we’re a 28 year old couple & we’re about to be your dog’s new best friends!👋🏻 We’re on a mission to soak up all the doggy cuddles we can this year, not just because we’re obsessed with dog’s (which we are) but because we’re warming up for PAWrenthood 🐾 So, instead of impulse buying a terrier on a Tuesday (which we absolutely were close to doing) we’re channeling our love into looking after other people’s furbabies for now!👀 You can also find us on FB & Insta by the name “The Woof Watchers” 🔍 Jam has had experience in owning a dog full time, for 4 years as she took on her dad’s Staffordshire bull terrier, Max back in 2016 until he sadly passed in 2020. Therefore now has history with this breed & their loving but sometimes crazy nature🤪 Shan has had experience, being a co-owner to Coco, a Shihtzu cross for 8 years, who was a yappy madam🤭 We both have cared for other dogs such as Buddy the Yorkie, who we fostered for a year🥹 Dolly the frenchie who we rehomed, who was Shan’s Grancha’s beloved dog🥺 And, we’ve had the pleasure of spending time with our family & friends dog’s over the years, walking & watching them. Therefore combined, we have a fair amount of experience with dogs☺️ ‼️ Please DON’T book us until we confirm the booking after we’ve met your dog in person. We have a lot of time on our hands, due to not having children & working from home, which makes us available most days, dates & times to suit your needs. But please message us to enquire 📅 We will be caring for your dogs in a cozy yet spacious flat with our own front door (not a shared block) & a private, fenced off front garden perfect for zoomies & bathroom breaks. We’ve even added extra security with chicken wire for those extra small doggies👀 While it’s not Buckingham Palace, it’s clean, comfy & 100% dog-approved! ✅ If stairs are tricky for your pup, no problem they’ll get the full VIP treatment (yes, we do offer a personal carrying service)👩🏻‍✈️

Would highly recommend Charlotte. She was great with Ruby. Ruby is quite nervous with strangers but Charlotte soon helped her overcome that by day 3 Ruby was letting Charlotte give her cwtches. Will definitely use Charlotte again

Chloe recently looked after my dog Star whilst I was out with work. She let her out for toilet breaks, gave her food, and made sure to spend time playing with her. Star clearly enjoyed the company and was well cared for. It’s a relief as a dog mum knowing she’s in safe hands. I’d definitely recommend Chloe to anyone looking for a dog sitter.
