“We have been using Aimee for a couple of weeks now, and she’s been nothing short of amazing with our two little babies! Keeps us updated with pics and gives us a little message on how their day went. Very thorough with what dates she can do, and lets us know well in advance days she can’t do. Thank you so much Aimee for looking after our little ones.”


About: I am conscientious by nature, and I'll always go the extra mile to make sure that your pet is well looked after whilst in my care. I pride myself on excellent attention to detail, so I'll be sure to follow any special instruction and requirement to make your pet's time with me perfect. I'm currently taking some time out from my career to study, so I am able to be extremely flexible and generous with my time. I am an active person, so I naturally spend a lot of time outdoors, and would love to have some furry company for this! I will look after your pet exactly as you'd do yourself, with plenty of love and attention given at all times, just let me know what they need :-)

“A very kind, reliable & lovely person/sitter. Was updated with vids & pics after missing my cat so much! Followed my instructions to perfection and left the flat in great condition as my cat is known to mess things up 🤣 Highly recommend 👌 Thanks Ying!”


About: Hi! I'm a lifelong dog lover with over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for pups of all personalities and needs. I've owned two wonderful dogs—one I raised from a puppy and the other a rescue—so I truly understand how different each dog can be. I'm patient, reliable, and calm, even in unexpected situations. Whether your dog is playful, shy, energetic, or needs extra care, I’m here to provide a safe, loving environment that feels just like home. I’m also flexible with schedules and always happy to accommodate your pet’s routine. Looking forward to meeting your furry family member! We’re just about to welcome two adorable puppies into our home, and after recently being made redundant, I’m looking to earn some extra income while doing something I truly love. Caring for dogs keeps me happy, active, and mentally engaged—there’s nothing better than spending time with fluffy friends! Having balanced work life with raising my own dogs for years, I understand how important it is to have a reliable, trustworthy, and caring dog sitter. I aim to be exactly that for you and your pup! I understand how important it is to feel completely comfortable with someone caring for your pets and staying in your home. I'm a respectful, tidy, and reliable guest who treats your space with the same care I would my own. Your pet’s safety and happiness are always my top priorities, and I’ll make sure your home stays secure and well looked after while you’re away. You can trust me to follow your instructions closely, keep things clean, and give your pet plenty of love and attention.

“We booked 10 visits with Dominika, and I can’t begin to express how incredibly grateful we were to have found such a lovely person to take care of our furry ones. She has not only fed them and played with them, but also established a relationship with them. I could see in each picture Dominika sent how my initially very shy Luna started to be more and more confident and play instead of hiding away, as she would normally do with strangers. Absolutely incredible to see! We will definetely recommend Dominika and we will contact her again in the future too.”


“Maria was such a great help when I needed someone to check in on my cats. I received lots of pictures from her visit and updates on how my boys are, she fed them and played with them. They can be a bit wary of new people but Maria understands that a slower approach with cats is needed sometimes and they quickly got used her. This was the first time I’ve used Maria but will definitely keep her in mind for future when needed. Highly recommended, thank you!”


“Georgia ,was kind enough to step in at minutes notice to look after Bill and Ted .she went above and beyond caring for them including cleaning up a poorly bills cat sick ! And his thank you gift of a mouse ! I honestly cannot recommend her enough .I am definitely calling on her services again .Carey edwards”


“Dora was fantastic. She said yes at very short notice which was brilliant and cared for my cat and 2 rabbits very well with photos and messages to confirm. She was punctual, professional and really lovely. Couldn’t reccomend her enough and will definite be using her again in the future. Thanks Dora”


About: I’ve looked after many dogs for friends and family, including my parents’ German Shepherd, working Cocker Spaniel, and Jack Russell. I have experience with both small and large breeds and enjoy adapting to each dog’s needs — from energetic playtime to gentle care for older pups. I can’t have my own dog at the moment because I sometimes travel for work, so caring for other people’s pets is something I genuinely love and take seriously. I work Monday to Friday so my main availability is evenings and weekends. This depends on the week though. Sometimes I may be available. On weekends I can take dogs on longer more interesting walks! I live right next to Glebelands Park in Newport, which is my go-to spot for daily walks — I usually take dogs there in the morning and evening. There’s also Turner Street Park nearby, plus a large grassy area right outside my flat for quick playtime or bathroom breaks. My car has a spacious boot, so on weekends I love taking dogs on longer, more exciting adventures to different parks and trails.

About: I’ve had both cats and dogs since the age of 7, I’ve always been an animal lover. I regularly take care of relatives and friends pets and have been trusted to do so from about the age of 10. I am so happy to have discovered this app, nothing makes me happier than spending time with animals and being out in nature, I find it very beneficial for my mental health. I currently have a very free and flexible schedule since finishing uni, so plenty of time to play, walk and take care of some doggos! I’ve had experience with all different breeds and sized dogs. I consider my dogs to be members of my family, so I would always treat other people’s pets as I would my own and shower them with love and attention.

About: With over 4 years experience looking after my own Pomeranian, i have built a deep understanding of what dogs need to feel safe, loved and happy - whether it’s on a walk, during a stay, or just for a quick drop-in visit. I am confident with a range of personalities, from shy snuggle-bugs to high energy zoomers. I have good attention to detail, a calm and gentle approach to nervous pups, and am able to read dog body language to ensure every interaction is safe and stress free. I will always send regular photo updates so you know your furbaby is in safe hands! With over 4 years of hands-on experience caring for small and medium-sized dogs, I’ve built a deep understanding of what pups need to feel safe, loved, and happy—whether it’s on a walk, during a stay, or just for a quick drop-in visit. I’m confident with a range of personalities, from shy snuggle-bugs to high-energy zoomers. What sets me apart is my attention to detail, my calm and gentle approach with nervous pups, and my knack for reading dog body language to ensure every interaction is safe and stress-free. I will be sending regular photo updates so you know your furry friend is in good hands! Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I share my home with my lovely housemate Asha—also a fellow dog lover who works a 9–5—so there’s always a calm and caring presence around. While my Pomeranian, Ollie, stays with my mum when I’m away flying, he’s very much a part of my daily life when I’m home, and he absolutely loves his walks through the secure back gate that leads straight into a big open field. Our home is fully dog-safe with a secure garden and gated entrances, so you can feel confident knowing your pup is in a safe and loving environment. Whether we’re indoors relaxing or outside exploring, I make sure every dog feels safe, settled, and right at home.

About: I've loved animals for as long as I can remember, spending most of my childhood with my best friend and her dogs. I've done walking for friends, family, house pet sitting for colleagues, including feeding, playing, walking with lots of cute photos! I'm currently working part time so am able to be more flexible with bookings, choosing which days I would like to work. On working days I finish at 3:30 so will still be available every afternoon and evening. I do not have a crate however have lots of toys. I live on the waterfront so lots of fresh air and scenery for walks and movement breaks:)

“Gill was brilliant at looking after our poorly cat while we were away and we couldn't praise her highly enough. She is very caring and clearly loves animals. Her communication was great and we felt very reassured and safe with her popping into our home. We were so impressed and grateful at her commitment and how resourceful she was at expertly giving medication to our very reluctant cat- she had a 100% success rate with all the pills! Thank you so much Gill :-)”


“Sabrina has now looked after Katyusha overnight twice, and made plenty of time when collecting keys to chat about the previous and upcoming visit. She keeps me informed of Katyusha's meals, activities and mood, which again seems to be very relaxed with Sabrina. It has made essential overnight trips away feasible, knowing Katyusha was in good hands. I would have no hesitation in recommending Sabrina.”

India M.
“India takes care of my two cats Jules and Ralph whenever I am out of town for a few days and always makes me feel comfortable leaving them in her care. They are pedigree house cats who are used to me being around most of the time since I work from home. India showers them with affection and treats them as her own as well as sending me pictures of them which always puts my mind at ease. She plays with them and makes sure they have all that they need when I am away and she is a very reliable capable and caring pair of hands for any pet. I would not hesitate to recommend India to anyone for cat/dog sitting, walking or any other assistance you may require.”

Charlotte has looked after our two dogs in our home while we were on holiday, she's been available for last minute pop-ins and she's walked our dogs for us if we're out for the day, on many occasions. Charlotte is a wonderful, caring animal lover and our dogs adore her. The welcome she gets when they see her says it all!

I didn’t like the thought of kennels and would’ve otherwise cancelled holiday plans however Jessica did a wonderful job looking after our Bruno and Bella, she sent us lots of photos, regular updates and played with both of them every day. I would recommend Jessica and am sure she will be pet sitting for us in the future!”
