Melanie is amazing I cannot recommend her more!! She came and walked our two dogs during our wedding and we couldn't be more grateful. She took all the pressure off knowing they were in safe hands. The dogs love her and their walks. She always sends us a detailed description of how the walk went and sends us lots of adorable photos!! Thank you so so much

About: Hello there! I'm Steve - a part-time writer and full-time animal lover, based in Caerleon. I've so enjoyed looking after dogs for family and friends over the years. My fiancée's parents have a lively 10 year-old JRT x Corgi, named Hector, with whom I've built a very close bond through engaging walks and gentle play. I've also enjoyed housesitting for friends with multiple pets - dogs, cats and even a house rabbit - ensuring the comfort of routine and security of affection are maintained in their absence. My own dog, Kaya, is a sweet-hearted nine year old collie x whippet who's recently joined the family. She's a sensitive soul and, like Hector, suffers with separation anxiety. As such, I understand entirely how important consistency and comfort are for senior dogs like them. Whilst she is settling in, I'm focusing my availability between Monday and Thursday, for dog-walking, drop-in visits and day-sitting. I spend much of my week working from home, so I have plenty of time to offer care and companionship to pets who need company whilst their humans are busy. I believe in showing all our canine companions calm and consistent company, whether during an enriching walk, a quiet cuddle or just a lunchtime check-in for food and water.

Stella was done through private adoption and I had only had her for 1 week when I met Aimee. Aimee has been amazing , when we had our meet and greet she spendt a whole hour with us during our walk. She got to know Stella very well and all her behaviours , which really put my mind to rest. During her walks with Stella she always gave updates and how well she is doing these were a joy to read. She is constantly ensuring that she has the correct information on Stella before she meets her and is genuinely interested in how the progress of Stella is going. Aimee is amazing and the perfect dog walker for Stella.

About: Hi! I work from home fulltime and share my space with a playful, well behaved miniature poodle who loves making new furry friends. I've lived with animals my entire life from stick insects and chinchillas to rabbits and cats so I understand that every pet has unique needs, quirks, and comforts. Whether it’s cuddles, playtime, or calm companionship your pet needs, I offer a safe, loving, and attentive environment. Your pet will be cared for like one of my own with patience, experience, and a genuine passion for animals. I work from home most days of the week, which means your pet will have constant company and care throughout the day. My miniature poodle is a friendly, well-socialised pup who loves to play and share his toys. With a beautiful park right on our doorstep, regular walks, fresh air, and playtime are all part of our daily routine — perfect for keeping pets happy, active, and relaxed. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a secure, fully fenced garden for safe outdoor time and a cosy, pet friendly home where they’ll be treated like part of the family. My miniature poodle, Luna, is playful, sociable, and always happy to welcome a new friend. Pets are welcome on the sofa (just like Luna!), but I’ll always follow your rules and routines to make sure your pet feels right at home

About: I've lived with dogs since I was small and have lots of experience both as an owner and caring for other peoples dogs of all shapes and sizes. I work from home 4 days a week and so am around all day. Happy for early drop off and to do an evening walk before collection. I offer a warm welcome to dog and people friendly dogs in my own home and will only take one dog at a time so they will have all of my attention and find it easier to settle without needing to compete with a pack. My place is 2 minutes walk from a park, it is a terraced house with a secure back garden - I will follow the ground rules set in your own home (dogs on or off the sofa is fine with me!) I have a car with secure travel space for dogs and love to go on adventures to the hills, the beach, the woods. I will keep you up to date with your pets activities through the day. I am also an experienced house sitter and am very happy to provide care for your animal family in their own home when you are away. As well as dogs, I have experience of caring for cats, small animals (mice, rabbits, guinea pigs etc!) fish, reptiles, horses, chickens and ducks, sheep and goats. I love all animals and will treat yours with the love and care they deserve, making sure that they are happy whilst you are away :) I work from home four days a week and can provide a walk for your dog up to three times a day. I live very close to the park and the woods :) I can provide house sitting for weekends or long weekends (Friday to Monday) with longer times possible with notice. Local dog walking available morning, lunch and early evening during the week and flexible times at the weekends I have a fenced garden and access available throughout the day, dogs will be treated like a member of the family. I can do on or off lead walks and safety is first priority.

About: I studied animal management in college where I took care of domesticated animals such as rabbits and guinea pigs. I volunteered at a stables and took care of larger animals and did my work experience at 2 vet clinics, taking care of both sick and healthy cats and dogs. I'm currently a university student in Newport so I have plenty of time to play with and take care of your beloved pets. I also don't work right now so I don't need that long of a notice. I am able to provide complicated service at your home where your pet will feel the most comfortable. With a notepad and pen, I'm sure to provide excellent care.

About: My passion has always been animals, and I have never spent more than a few years of my life without a pet. I have experience with most breeds of dogs, cats, kittens, fish and rabbits. I currently own a 12-year-old Labrador, and a 6-year-old cat who are keeping me company since both my children have now moved out. I have always wanted to work with animals, and this is the year that I have decided to quit my day job, and follow my dream. I have recently quit my job in order to pursue a full time pet sitting career, so I have full time availability to care for your pets! I have a fenced garden to keep your dogs safe with a friendly Labrador that gets on with any dog. I have multiple water stations around the house, with toys and snacks available on request too. I can also crate your dog if requested.

About: I have always loved and cared for dogs since I was a child. Myself and my husband share a love of all dogs and can't resist making a fuss of them! We have looked after others dogs for long periods and welcomed them into our home wanting them to feel loved and comfortable whilst away from their families. My experience is mainly with small/medium breeds and have two Chihuahuas myself now who are loving and friendly dogs. My youngest dog Olive is only a year old so have recent puppy experience, and my eldest dog Lola is 11 so I also have experience with more senior dogs. I am experienced at medication administration as this is something I do daily for Lola, and have experience doing this for dogs in my care also. We want any furry friend staying with us to feel relaxed, comfortable and like they are at a home-from-home whilst their humans are away. We know the importance of being able to relax and trust someone else with your companion whilst you are away and love being able to offer that to others whilst they enjoy holidays or weekends away. I currently work in a flexible role where I work from home the majority of the time. This allows me to spend time with dogs whilst working and breaks usually consist of walks around the neighbourhood and out in the garden (in the nicer weather). We are mainly available for long weekend (Fri-Mon) boarding, however with some notice we can accommodate longer boarding. We have a secure home with a front gate and fully secure enclosed back garden which is small but ideal for smaller/medium dogs to stretch their legs and bask in the sun during the warmer months. Dogs will have free roam of the downstairs area and we are happy to accommodate their routines and quirks as much as possible whilst you are away. Our youngest dog is only 1 so we live in a 'puppy proofed' environment. Having small breed dogs I am very protective and aware of extra care with safety and security so your dog can relax in our home with peace of mind that they are safe. We have a child-free home and our dogs are the centre of our world so we understand that your dog is not just a pet but a family member and would treat them as we would our own.

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.

Lianne (and Jon) provided an excellent dog walking service for our 5 year old Cocker Spaniel, Hazel. I had contacted Lianne very last minute, (the day before!) however she got back to me straight away and arranged to visit my home on the same day, for a 'meet and greet'. Jon was very friendly and approachable, asking all the right questions about Hazel and her walking routine. I felt they were very trustworthy people, we discussed times for the walks and we had no issues leaving a key to the house out for them to use. During the walks, we were sent regular photos and videos of Hazel, which were lovely to see and created peace of mind. A lovely note was left upon our arrival home and Hazel seemed a very happy doggy! The entire process was stress free. We will definitely be using Lianne again and would highly recommend!

We’re so happy we found Sabrina to help us out on busy work days. She’s been walking Bako twice a week and we feel comfortable and confident that she’s well taken care of during this time. Sabrina takes the time to reach out and provide feedback on Bako’s behaviour and overall wellbeing. Communication is simple and would highly recommend her services.

Excellent dog sitter! Patrycja is such a lovely person. She was really welcoming and looked after our dog wonderfully. She took him out for a walk while he was there and sent us some great photos to reassure us. She was so understanding and flexible when we had to extend the time due to a holdup - she’s brilliant and I would recommend her highly for dog care and dog walks .
