“Bethany took real good care of my fur baby who was calm and relaxed when I got home. She went above and beyond making sure he recieved his medication and treatment of a medical condition. Bethany also took care of my home and left it clean and tidy.”


“My little Daphne is obsessed with Hayley. Her little tail wags as soon as she sees her Hayley knows so much about animals and really takes care of Daphne We are hoping this becomes a regular thing”


“Ashleigh was fantastic with our staffy Bobbin! We needed someone very last minute to look after Bobbin and Ashleigh was more than happy to look after him at such short notice. She came round the house beforehand to meet him and listened carefully to Bobbin's care instructions. Ashleigh kept us up to date with messages, pictures and videos and he had such a wonderful day with her! Bobbin can be a bit anxious but he settled really well with Ashleigh and I know she took amazing care of him. He had lovely walks, playtime and cuddles 🥰 I would 100% use Ashleigh again to look after Bobbin and would recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, reliable dog sitter 😊”


“The first time Ying-Ying has met Bowie and sat for the evening and I am very happy and comfortable letting her look after him. Lovely young lady, very friendly and made a big effort to gain Bowie's trust and took great care of him. Ying-Ying also kept in touch letting me know how Bowie was getting on, sending photos and videos. I would definitely recommend x”


“Georgia was a wonder! She kept my animals happy and well taken care of without any worries, my house was perfectly clean when I returned home from my holiday and she always kept me provided with pictures and updates. I would very much recommend her and use her services in the future. Thank you Georgia!”


About: I have to be the right fit for the family helping build a strong bonds of loyalty and trust. I treat each baby like they were my own as I know that is what I looked for with my own fur baby. I’m currently working a mix of home and office work always free weekends. Can be flexible and very accommodating to suit the family needs and desires. If you’re happy I’m happier. I have a large home (live on my own) with large fenced back garden. Happy to walk and care indoors and outdoors for your fur baby.

About: I've been house sitting for over 10 years in Australia and the UK and have looked after dozens of dogs and cats. I've also cared for a heard of sheep & cows, a pair of turkeys, a flock of ducks & chickens and even a special frog in a London pond! I work from home a couple of hours a day, so have ample time for long (if the pet likes it) walks and lots of animal care. I have cared for elderly pets who require medication numerous times a day and have stayed up all night with a particularly nervous dog one night when there were fireworks. My dream is to live on a farm, and I'm slowly working towards buying my own land to make this happen. Until then, I adore making sure your pets are cared while you're away. I work a couple of hours a day (flexible time, but typically 10-1pm) so can adjust my work around the pet's routine. I'm a relatively early riser so am more than happy to go for a walk around 8-9am in the morning. I used to own and operate a guest house in Australia, so am very used to caring for a home and do my best to leave every home I stay in as clean (if not cleaner) than I first found it. I'm happy to water plants and tend to gardens: Good practice for me when I buy my land.

About: I grew up in a household in which there were always animals around: cats, dogs, guinea pigs, hamsters, fish and even stick insects! I am now living with my family and we currently have 3 gorgeous dogs: Molly, Dotty and Maia. I feed them, take them for their walks, play with them, bathe them, trim their claws, and give them any medicines they need. I love animals so much, and joined this app to meet all the pups and cats! I am currently unemployed so have lots of availability! I was previously working in environmental education in Dublin, but moved back to Wales last year and taking a break before seeking my next employment. From september onwards I’ll be doing horticulture training one day a week, day to be confirmed. Being a pet owner and also my experience working in the education and childcare sector, I treat health and safety with the upmost importance. I am very observant and will keep a constant eye on your pet, tuning into their behavioural cues. I love being outside, particularly going on hikes- if your dog is also a big walker i’d be happy to take them and bring along everything they need to stay happy and safe!

About: Since I was quite young, I have owned a variety of animals, with a porcupine being one of the more unusual choices. Over the years, I have owned numerous dogs and cats, as well as rabbits, guinea pigs, and budgerigars. In the past decade, I have owned rabbits, a hamster, and eventually, Stella, my French Bulldog. At present, I am engaged in full-time employment, making weekends the most suitable option. However, this situation will shift in July when I transition to self-employment, allowing me to be accessible on most days throughout the week. While I am at your home, I will adhere to all established rules with respect. I will adhere to the instructions provided. I will make certain that your pet remains secure and content.

About: I have had pets in my family home for the last 10 years. At one point there was 7 dogs, 2 cats and chickens! I love all things animal and have a kind caring nature. We would love to open our home and give love and attention to your beloved pets as we haven't got one of our own since buying our first home! Now also offering a grooming service with Real friends Grooming so your beloved pet can look there best before home time. Please message me upon making a booking if you want a quote for a groom. Nails, bath and cuts available. I work a typical 9-5 schedule and my partners hours change regularly with the typical shift being 6am-11am/12. I can also have pets in my office or work from home where needed! There is always someone home throughout the day. I have a fenced garden and live in a quiet cul de sac. The only cars that enter are typically living here or to use the local shop. We can offer a safe space for your pet with plenty of room to roam in our 4 bed house. There are plenty of lovely fields and walks for daily exercise.

About: I've taken care of animals of all kind. I've spent lots of time volunteering in kennels, animal rescues, and catteries, as well as helping to walk and feed family and friend's pets. I am currently working part time, mostly in the evenings, which gives me plenty of time to spend with your pets, making sure they are well looked after! I will make sure your pet is well looked after, to any specifications. Weather they just need a quick drop in or a long walk, your animals happiness is my priority.

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 have always grown up with dogs (from british bulldogs to cockapoos) and now own two cats of my own! I also have experience with amphibians and with leopard geckos as my boyfriend keeps reptiles! Masters student completing my dissertation so I have all the flexibility in the world! Am available any time of the week for drop ins or dog walks etc! I don’t offer for pets to visit my home as i have my own cats and i wouldn’t want them or your pet to be spooked by eachother!

“Claudia was absolutely amazing. Made us feel at home straight away as we were so nervous letting a stranger into our home let alone looking after our precious bundle and Kayla took her immediately as well. Claudia was very professional, friendly and helpful. We will definitely be using Claudia's services again and definitely recommend her to other potential clients. Thanks Claudia!”


About: Having grown up on a farm, I have a lifetime of experience looking after a wide range of animals of all ages both indoor and outdoor. I work from home a lot of the time and have flexibility in my life to either look after pets in my own home or spend some time at your home where your pets are more comfortable. I have a fenced garden and a suitable car to take any pet around. I also have most experience pet sitting (often in different countries) and will treat your home with care and respect to ensure it is in the same state (if not better) than when I arrive.

About: I have 2 small Romanian rescue dogs who I couldn't love more, I have taken care of them plus family and friends dogs over the past 3 years during holidays and love getting to know them, playing, walking, teaching new tricks and then at the end of the day cuddling up with them with blankets, I'm a passionate dog owner and care about the protection of animals and want to ensure dogs can have the best life. I currently work from home full time so have rhe flexibility to have dogs in my home alongside Mt 2 furry friends, so if your dogs like to play with others and want someone who is engaged and playful then please reach out. I have a fenced garden more than 6ft high. Plus 2 small dogs myself under 10kg so they will have lots of time to play and explore whilst here.

About: My passion for animals has been life long. Not only have I always owned dogs throughout my life , I have also worked with animals . I've worked in riding schools, pet shop and kennel. I think my experience of working deferent animals both large and small is invaluable. But most of all I think it's love and good common sense My daughter is 18yrs old and at college full-time. I am a 51yr old lady with to much 'free time', the afternoon early evening, I will take my dogs to the stable yard where they have 7 acres of fenced in land to romp, whilst I tend to my horse. I have far too much "free time ' so doing pet care for others is perfect for me. At home I have 2 dogs both bitches. A Jack Russell's and a chow. As well as 2 rescue chickens. I live in a ground floor maisonette with laminate and tiled flooring. Out back garden is a large patio area with high fence panels all round. When looking in on other people's pets I would prefer to have access to a key lock to enter. Dog or baby gate in place to ensure that when entering your pets are safe. Would appreciate written instructions left on what you require in plane sight ie please, close this door, barny need his medication today, etc.

“Sabrina was brilliant right from the start! She stepped in with a last minute request to look after my dog for the weekend and after a meet and greet I was happy to leave him with her. She was reliable, easy to communicate with and clearly knew what she was doing. I returned to find a happy dog and a spotless house. I would highly recommend”

Alisha is such a caring and sweet person, I would 100% ask her to look after my precious boy Jesse again if I ever need to go away.

It’s such a relief knowing they’re in such good hands. On top of that, Elise is super supportive and caring, not just with mine and my family member’s pets, but with her own too. They are her world and she loves them immensely which you can see so clearly- I honestly couldn’t recommend her enough.”

"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”
