About: I am currently studying veterinary nursing in Newport south wales university. I have a staffy and Chihuahua so am very experienced in looking after and caring for different dog breeds. I have 4 years of experience when it comes to looking after animals so therefore I am able to attend to their individual needs. This is something I am passionate about and I enjoy doing. Due to my studies being post of the weekdays. I am available on Wednesdays, Thursdays aswell as weekends. This is where I will be able to spend my time looking after and proving care for your animals I am living in a student accommodation so unable to have the pet in my own home however this is where I am able to offer dog walking, drop in visits and house sitting for owners if requested. When at an owners house I am able to carry out any requests they need. For example, feeding them certain diets at certain times, keeping house tidy, walking them etc

“Aimee is an outstanding dog walker, truly the best we’ve ever encountered! Her dedication and genuine love for dogs shine through in every walk. She takes the time to understand each dog’s unique personality and needs, ensuring they are happy, safe, and thoroughly exercised. Aimee’s warm and professional demeanour makes her a joy to work with, and our dogs absolutely adore her. Her attention to detail and personalised care set her apart, making us confident that our pets are in the best hands. We wholeheartedly recommend Aimee for her exceptional service and loving care!”


8. Gill W.

“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 :-)”

12. Maddie B.
“Maddie has looked after my dog Willow on multiple occasions when I have been on holiday, for up to weeks at a time and she does a wonderful job every time. Willow absolutely loves and trusts her, which is amazing considering she can be an anxious dog. Would definitely recommend Maddies dog sitting!”


13. Sabrina F.

“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.”

16. Jessica W.
“Jessica has looked after our cat and dog multiple times when we have gone on family holidays. 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!”


17. "Karen" Kathleen W.
“I am pleased to provide a strong recommendation for Kathleen as a pet caregiver. I have had the privilege of knowing Karen for 30 years, and during this time, I have witnessed their genuine love and care for animals. Karen has always demonstrated an exceptional ability to connect with pets, ensuring their well-being and happiness in every situation. Whether it’s feeding, walking, or simply providing companionship, Karen approaches every task with the utmost responsibility and compassion. They possess a keen understanding of animal behavior and are highly attentive to the specific needs of each pet in their care. I have personally seen Karen take care of my own pets, and it’s clear that they treat them with the same love and respect they would show their own family members. What sets Karen apart is their reliability and trustworthiness. I have always been able to count on Karen to follow through with commitments, and their professionalism in handling both routine care and unexpected situations is admirable. They communicate openly and keep pet owners informed, ensuring peace of mind when leaving pets in their care. I am confident that Karen will be an asset in any pet care role, and I wholeheartedly recommend them for this position. Their passion for animals and dedication to providing excellent care make them the ideal candidate for looking after your pets. Sincerely, Dannielle weir”




18. Julie E.

“Julie sent lots of photos with her updates which gave us the reassurance we wanted that our three cats were being well looked after whilst we were away. Before sitting for us Julie came to meet us and our cats, and it was clear she was an animal lover and would be ideal for us. I’ll definitely have Julie as our sitter again and have no hesitation in recommending her services.”


19. Emma E.

“Emma really helped us out and put our minds at ease looking after our two cats just before christmas! She came to visit beforehand, kept us updated during her stay, sent us pictures and left the house spotless. Would 100% book her again! Thank you so much, Emma! 💖”


20. Rose P.
“Rose has been an animal lover since she was little when she brought an injured wild rabbit home when she was out playing for us to make better. Rose has always supported animal charities and has recently adopted a 15 year old cat to give her a wonderful life in her old age. Her pet Hamster used to follow rose everywhere and jump up onto her legs to be carried and hugged.. Rose is used to dogs as we have always had them when she was growing up. Rose is calm and loving and was always their favourite. Whichever dog Rose looks after will have a forever bond with her.”
