About: I've grown up in a pet friendly house caring and looking after every type of animal, from cats, dogs, rodents and birds, any shape or size animal was welcomed in our house.

About: I’ve started caring for animals since I was 10, starting with small rodents like hamsters and rabbits, even having fishies multiple times. Since 13 I’ve looked after my two Jack Russel Terrier mixes who are inseparable. They have PTSD and have come out of their shell amazingly and are now older dogs but still loving all the same. I also now have a Cockapoo who has major separation anxiety when away from my mom and I keep her so happy and entertained. I’ve cared for manny animals for others in the last 4 years, from a French bulldog with dietary requirements, special walking needs and anxiety to a bigger golden retriever who is caring all round. I’ve fostered a handful of kittens and cats before finding them a loving and caring forever home, I’ve looked after manny dogs and even smaller pets like reptiles and rodents. I am currently in University however it doesn’t take up every day of my week, this means most days of the week I will always be free. As for weekends, I can move things around to suit your best needs! When it comes to your home, I will be with the animal all hours of my time there, minus my own toilet breaks of course ahaha, and will be walking them as needed or letting them out into the back garden to go toilet. I will make it my too priority if your fur baby has any special requirements they are met on time and at the best quality I can give.

About: Hi I’m India! I’ve owned dogs my whole life from chihuahuas to alsatians and everything in between. At my family home we have an assortment of pets from horses to cats and dogs. Over the summer months I will be back home with lots of free time so I’d love to play care and love your pets when you’re at work or going away. We have lots of space including, enclosed fields, fenced gardens and dog runs as well as rooms inside to keep your pet separate from other dogs if that’s what you would prefer! Im a kind, patient person and I’m capable of handling dogs that may need a slightly stricter approach, my husky for example pulls on her lead very badly (I’m trying to train her out of this though!) Thank you for reading and please keep me in mind :) Your pets needs would dictate my routine. I’m happy to accommodate older pets who may not need lots of exercise or the opposite and take your pet out to play and walk all day. We have lots of space including, enclosed fields, fenced gardens and dog runs as well as rooms inside to keep your pet separate from other dogs if that’s what you would prefer!
About: I’m experienced in handling large dogs (any size/breed welcome) and have a deep understanding of the needs and quirks of anxious and reactive dogs and the care and patience they require through my experience with my extremely nervous rescue German Shepherd who was in very bad mental and physical condition when I adopted him. Sadly, he passed at the end of 2024 after many happy years together. Personally, I found it extremely difficult to trust others to walk or care for him during our time together so I’d like to reassure those in a similar position that I can take care of their best friend when they need it and I’ll always be as careful, understanding and vigilant as I was with my own. My garden is secure with full, well-maintained fences and walls and a padlocked gate, I have blinds on all public facing windows which can be closed if dogs are triggered by people walking by. Everyone is welcome to supply any toys, beds or anything that makes your dog feel more comfortable and of course I will stick to their usual walking schedule and dietary requirements. I live directly next to a large park which is not typically very busy and offers numerous trails from the main paths to avoid others when caring for reactive dogs. I will never let anyone’s dog off the lead during a walk (unless I have booked a secure field) and always clip leads to a strong walking belt as extra security, walk in shaded areas on hot days and carry water at all times. I mainly work from home so when boarding and pet sitting your dog will be with me all day with regular opportunities to play, go in the garden and for walks in the morning, lunch time and evening. I’m available for walks morning, lunchtime and evenings during the week and all day Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday. I only care for dogs from the same household on walks and in my home unless they are friends who have already spent time together. This is for the best possible wellbeing of each dog. I’d rather provide quality and complete confidence than take on as many dogs as possible as I believe in giving them the individual care and attention they deserve with as few stressful triggers as possible. I work from home so dogs will not be left unattended or outside for prolonged periods. I only endorse the use of positive reinforcement / reward-based training and treat all dogs with respect, understanding and care tailored to their specific needs. I’m happy to discuss your requirements, answer any questions and arrange a pre-stay meet and greet if required. I have also completed a certified DBS check through my employer.

About: Hi! I’m someone who truly loves being around dogs and caring for them as if they were my own. I’ve grown up with dogs and have always been very hands-on with their care — from daily walks and feeding routines to giving them plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. Sadly, I lost my own dog this past Christmas, so I really understand how much they mean to us as family members. Looking after other people’s dogs feels very natural to me and something I genuinely enjoy. I’m reliable, patient, and attentive to each dog’s individual needs. Whether your dog is energetic and loves long walks or prefers a calmer, relaxed environment, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I’ll always keep you updated with messages and photos for peace of mind. Your dog will be treated with kindness, respect, and lots of love 🤍 I’m currently work from home most of the time but I am very flexible as it is my own business! So I can do what is best for you ! I have a very large fenced garden and lots of space. I have many rooms within my house to make your pets feel comfortable and looked after.
About: Growing up on a dog kennels and cattery, I am very familiar with all different breeds, temperaments and ages. I have taught dogs many tricks and even taught a cat to sit. I am not scared of big breeds as I had 2 Newfoundland dogs myself. I am studying a healthcare course at University on Wednesday for half a day so have the half day free as well as being off from university on Thursday. All pets are welcome in my home. I have a backyard which the dogs can use and quite a large house. There’s a local park for walks also.

About: I’ve grown up with both dogs and cats and have over 20 years of experience caring for my own cats. Alongside this, I have around 10 years of hands-on experience looking after dogs for extended periods, often for weeks at a time. I’m very comfortable with animals of all personalities and needs, and I genuinely enjoy providing them with a safe, happy, and loving environment while they’re in my care. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine as I’m not currently working, which means I have plenty of time and flexibility to give pets the attention they deserve. I’m home most of the day, so I can maintain consistent feeding schedules, provide regular playtime, and ensure pets feel comfortable and settled. I’m able to adapt my routine around each pet’s needs, whether that’s multiple walks for dogs, quiet companionship for cats, or sticking closely to specific care instructions. Because of my availability, I can offer a calm, attentive environment and won’t need to rush or leave pets alone for long periods. I provide attentive, reliable care whether pets are in my home or in their owner’s home. In my home, I create a calm, safe, and welcoming environment where pets can settle in comfortably, sticking closely to their usual routines for feeding, play, and rest. I make sure they get plenty of attention, stimulation, and affection so they feel relaxed and at home. When caring for pets in their owner’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions carefully to maintain the pet’s normal routine. I ensure feeding schedules, walks, litter or garden care, and any specific needs are met consistently. I also keep owners updated for peace of mind, so they know their pets are happy and well looked after while they’re away.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, including my lovely little Lhasa Apso, Marley Moo, who’s been part of our family for over 15 years! Having him has taught me everything about how to love, care for, and look after a dog through all stages of life. As he’s gotten older, Marley has sadly gone blind and partially deaf, which has definitely been an adjustment for us all but we’ve taken it in our stride and found new ways to keep him happy, playful, and full of life. It’s taught me a lot about patience and caring for dogs with extra needs. Marley now currently lives separately with my dad so I don’t have any pets at home! Aside from Marley, I’ve looked after lots of dogs for friends and family over the years and always jump at the chance when someone needs a sitter! I’ve cared for all sorts of breeds and ages, doing everything from dog walks and day care to overnight stays. No matter what, I always make sure they’re having fun, getting plenty of cuddles, and feeling right at home. Some have even refused to leave… but don’t worry, I promise you’ll always get your dog back 🥹 I currently work a very flexible shift pattern. My days will vary each week and given enough notice I can change/move around my schedule to fit your needs :) I live in a large spacious house and have no other pets or children so no need to worry if your dog doesn’t do well with either of these. I have access to a back yard and a few parks nearby. My home is super pet friendly and I’m more than happy to take on requirements/adjustments to suit your pet if needed!
