About: I’ve had cats and dogs my whole life! Experience from looking after young animals to older! My family has recently got a puppy that requires lots and training and looking after! Check out my new instagram: ryans_petcare I currently work full-time in the Civil Service, and while I’m relatively new to offering pet sitting professionally, I have plenty of genuine, hands-on experience with animals. I’ve had cats throughout different stages of my life and recently raised a kitten from 8 weeks old, who is now 2 years old. I’ve also spent time around dogs of different sizes and temperaments, helping with walks, playtime and general care. I’m currently building my pet care business alongside my full-time job, with the long-term goal of making it my full-time career. I’m passionate about providing reliable, caring and personalised care for local pets, while giving owners peace of mind that their animals are happy, safe and well looked after. As I grow the business, I’m also committed to developing my knowledge and skills by gaining further qualifications and undertaking relevant training in animal care. I want to continue learning and improving so I can provide the highest possible standard of care to every pet I look after. For now, I’m looking to fill my evenings and weekends by helping local owners and giving their cats and dogs the company, routine and reassurance they need while their owners are away. When I’m looking after a pet, I will focus on keeping their routine as close to normal as possible. I’ll follow the feeding schedule you set, keep fresh water available, and make sure they get the right balance of play, attention, and quiet time. For dogs, that includes regular walks, toilet breaks, and sticking to any training or boundaries you already use. For cats, I’ll handle litter changes, feeding, playtime, and give them space if they’re shy or prefer independence.

“Delenn and Jacob looked after Wilson in my home for ten days and I’m very pleased with the service they provided. The doggie was happy and healthy and the house was left tidy. Will definitely use again.”

About: I have four years of experience looking after dogs, including feeding, walking, minding them at home and keeping them in a comfortable routine. I’m calm, reliable and confident with all breeds. Whether it’s daily walks, toilet breaks or giving them attention and reassurance, I make sure every dog feels safe, happy and well cared for. I have a really flexible weekly routine, which means I can give your dog plenty of attention and proper one‑to‑one care. I’m available most weekdays from mid‑afternoon onwards, and weekends are wide open for boarding or longer stays. Because my schedule isn’t packed or rushed, I can take my time with walks, play, training and keeping your dog settled. Whether it’s regular drop‑ins or last‑minute bookings, I’m able to fit pet care smoothly into my week and make sure your dog gets consistent, relaxed companionship. I always ensure that the environment is safe and secure for the pets in my care by surveying the fencing and potential risks. I take onboard the pet owners requests with careful diligence to provide the best service possible.

“Professional, cat lover, .I am so happy I have found her .I can travel whenever I want leaving my 2 cats with her.She floors my instructors, my cats are so happy ...Highly recommend!!”

About: I am a qualified dog grooming teacher with over 10 years’ experience in training individuals to become skilled, compassionate, and responsible groomers. My teaching goes far beyond coat care — I focus on the overall health and wellbeing of dogs, ensuring learners understand how grooming plays a vital role in early detection of health issues such as skin conditions, parasites, ear infections, and behavioural concerns. I also teach safe handling, salon hygiene/biosecurity, first aid, and client communication, preparing learners for both employment and running their own grooming businesses. A key part of my teaching is upholding and promoting the Five Animal Welfare Needs as outlined in the Animal Welfare Act. I ensure the learners understand how to create a safe, low-stress environment for each dog, and how to respect their emotional and physical needs throughout. This includes recognising stress signals, understanding behavioural needs, and always grooming in a way that protects dogs from pain, suffering, injury, or disease. Over the years, I’ve proudly trained hundreds of groomers, many of whom have gone on to build successful careers. I’m passionate about raising standards in the dog world and believe that this starts with having the knowledge and skills. Dogs are able to travel to work with me and are in my care all day. They are regularly taken out for rest breaks whilst at work. They have access to fresh clean water and are walked often. During the school holidays I am at home with the dogs all day. My garden is completely secure, it is fenced off around both sides and I have a garage at the other side that is connected to my house. Dogs will also have their own safe place to go and relax.

About: I have lived on a small holding my whole life, caring for various animals including domestic, farm, and exotic pets. I have been part of the Riding for Disabled and 4 the Love of Cats (charity), as well as having experience in training Police dogs and horses. I care for my parents three dogs (two Golden Retrievers and a Cocker Spaniel) at their home when they go away on holiday. I am currently not working, so I have a flexible schedule to care for your pets at any time of the day or night, other than Tuesdays, Fridays and Saturdays. I am happy to travel anywhere within my 10 mile working radius as I have a car, and can even take your pet out on a nature trip so long as they travel well. I am flexible in my care and can abide by any rules and schedules you set as long as you write it down for me.

About: I have had lots of experience with dogs through my veterinary placements at kennels and rescue centres, as well as some with friends and families dogs growing up!

About: I have hands-on experience caring for a wide range of pets, including dogs, cats, small animals, and puppies. My background in education has taught me to be patient, observant, and highly attentive—qualities that translate directly into excellent pet care. I’m confident handling energetic pets who need active engagement as well as calmer or senior animals who require a gentler, more structured routine. What sets me apart from other sitters is my combination of reliability, genuine affection for animals, and strong communication skills. I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and stimulated while keeping owners updated with regular photos and messages. I’m experienced with basic puppy training, reinforcing positive behaviours, and maintaining consistent routines. I’m also comfortable supporting senior pets with slower-paced walks, medication reminders, and extra care when needed. My goal is always to make your pet’s time with me feel like a second home—safe, fun, and full of love. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I have plenty of availability and genuinely enjoy spending my time with animals. I’m flexible with scheduling and able to accommodate daytime, evening, and weekend bookings, which allows me to adapt to each pet’s needs and routine. Whether it's regular walks, drop-in visits, or longer stays, I’m able to give pets consistent attention, exercise, and companionship throughout the day. I plan my schedule around the pets in my care, making sure they’re never rushed and always get the time, patience, and engagement they deserve. Safety and trust are my top priorities whenever I care for someone’s pet. Whether I’m looking after them in my home or in the owner’s home, I create a calm, structured, and secure environment so pets feel comfortable and owners feel confident. In a pet owner’s home, I follow all routines exactly as instructed—feeding schedules, walk times, house rules, and any special needs. I make sure doors and gates are always properly secured, keep a close eye on the pet’s behaviour, and maintain a clean, tidy environment. I respect the owner’s space and ensure their home is left just as I found it. I also provide regular updates so owners always know how their pet is doing.

About: With over four decades of dedicated experience, I've had the joy of caring for dogs of all ages and a wide variety of breeds. My home, a comfortable 2-bedroom house, is ideally situated directly opposite a sprawling country park, providing endless opportunities for walks and outdoor adventures. I'm proud to say that the dogs I care for consistently show their happiness and eagerness to return. You can expect regular updates on your pet's stay. Every owner receives photos of their dog enjoying their time with me, typically sent via WhatsApp for convenience. I believe in keeping you fully informed and connected with your beloved companion throughout their visit. Being at home full-time allows me to fully commit to your dog's well-being. I focus on maintaining their established routines and ensuring they receive all the walks they need, treating each dog with the same love and attention I give my own. My property boasts a secure, fully fenced garden, perfect for safe play. The immediate proximity to the country park means daily access to expansive green spaces for exercise and exploration. Inside, my 2-bedroom home features practical, easy-to-clean flooring, making it perfectly suited for dogs, especially after muddy park adventures. I also have a friendly small dog who loves making new canine friends, ensuring a sociable and happy environment for your pet. Your dog's care will be tailored precisely to your wishes, and their familiar home routine will be diligently upheld. As a retired individual home most days, dog care fits seamlessly into my routine. I can provide regular walks, playtime, feeding, grooming, and companionship while managing errands. When it comes to looking after your beloved pets, I provide attentive, reliable, and loving care, whether in your home or mine. My services are tailored to meet the unique needs of your furry friends, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away.

“Bryony was absolutely wonderful with my dogs! From the very first meeting, she put both me and my pups at ease with her calm, friendly energy. She clearly has a natural connection with animals, and my dogs warmed up to her straight away. Throughout her time with them, she went above and beyond – sending me regular updates and photos that showed just how relaxed, happy, and well cared for they were. It was such a relief knowing they weren’t just being looked after, but genuinely loved and treated like her own. I felt completely confident that they were in safe hands, and that peace of mind is priceless. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter – Bryony is reliable, thoughtful, and truly amazing at what she does. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their pets as if they were family!”

About: I found. A love for dogs when my sons got their dogs. I then spent three years in Bulgaria and helped at a dog rescue. I personally saved five dogs from the street. They were almost dead from starvation and covered in ticks. All found their forever homes. I have no other commitments and I am happy to look after your pets in your own home. I am honest, trustworthy, police checked, insured and reliable, and would treat your pets as my own. 😊 I have no other job or commitments so completely flexible. I can sit for any length of time and will follow any routines and instructions.
