“This was our first time using anyone outside friends and family to look after our dog & 2 cats and Ebony was the perfect person to do so! I am a horribly anxious pet owner and Ebony didn’t judge me at all with the 45,000 things I told her “just incase” 😂 also came to meet us twice before the actual date which was no problem for her at all! She done everything we asked of her and even more, sent photos and told us what they had been upto, I even think the house is cleaner now than before we left! We will definitely use Ebony again when her services are needed. Thanks so much for looking after our hairy babies as if they were your own 💕”


“Jennifer is a wonderful pet sitter who is trustworthy, reliable and friendly. My 15 year old Bichon Frise, Millie was so well looked after when Jennifer stayed in my home whilst I was away for a few days. Jennifer sent me regular updates, photos and videos showing how settled Millie was with her. I can highly recommend Jennifer to anyone looking for a sitter who truly cares and has a genuine love of animals.”


“Robyn was amazing! My cat and dog were well looked after when she stayed at our house. House was well looked after as well! Can’t wait to book her again.”


About: I have 3 sausage dogs that I treat like my own babies. They get the best walks and snacks, and we love a snuggle under the blanket. I’m lucky that my husband and I work remotely and never need to leave them alone for too long. I decided that I can provide that reassurance to other dog owners, knowing that their pups are also safe and snug with someone while they’re away ❤️ I work remotely and choose my own hours, which is great for flexible pet care and managing a dog’s routine. If they have specific walk times, feeding times etc it’s no problem at all. I care for pets in their own home so that they’re always in a familiar space, surrounded by their own comforts. They get to keep their own bed! I’m also a qualified paramedic so I am comfortable with medication and additional needs.

About: I’ve been a dog person since I was 11, when my first dog Lady came into my life unexpectedly and utterly changed it. She was re-homed with us when her family moved abroad and from the moment she arrived, she became my dog. That bond was instant, magical, and honestly addictive. Since then, I’ve owned, loved, boarded, walked, and cared for dogs of all shapes and sizes and my life is fuller for it. I believe dogs are basically permanently furry toddlers. They need love, routine, reassurance, stimulation, and above all someone who treats them with the same care you’d give your own child. That’s exactly the kind of care I provide. I offer a calm, safe, affectionate home environment with plenty of company, structured walks, and space to relax. I take time to get to know each dog’s personality and routine so they feel secure and at ease while you’re away. Whether they’re a nervous first timer or a seasoned house guest, I tailor care to suit them. I’m happy to stay overnight, keeping your dog comfy, safe, and spoiled in their own space. You can relax knowing your dog is safe, happy, and genuinely cared for like one of the family. My regular availability for boarding is Friday evening from 7pm to Monday evening at 7pm, ( I can collect) perfect for weekend getaways or short breaks. I also have extra time during the summer holidays and festive periods, so feel free to reach out, I’m always happy to help if I can! If boarding with me your pet will have access to a secure, fenced garden for outdoor time and play. While I don’t have crates myself, I’m more than happy for your dog to bring their own bed, crate, blankets, or comfort items, whatever helps them relax and feel at ease.

“Chrissy kindly came to sit our 11 month old Labradoodle for a night and we couldn't have wished for anyone better! Chrissy was amazing with her communication, came for a meet and greet beforehand, and sent us lots of photos of them having fun together whilst we were away. We felt really reassured about leaving Kip with Chrissy, even with some of his bad behaviors (jumping up and food stealing), which she seemed to handle really well. We'll definitely reach out to Chrissy if needed again.”


“Cloe looked after Lilo for a long weekend while I was away home! She was confident in taking on a reactive girl & made me feel really assured she was okay with this. Cloe keep in touch & provided updates & photos! My house was also pristine when I came home! I’d highly recommend Cloe & will absolutely be using her in future ☺️”


About: As a 4th-year veterinary medicine student at the University of Glasgow, caring for animals isn’t just what I do—it’s who I am. I’ve managed a cattery, looked after my own beloved dogs and cats, and regularly cared for pets belonging to friends and family. Over the past four years, I’ve gained hands-on experience in various veterinary practices, deepening both my clinical skills and my understanding of what pets truly need to feel safe, loved, and comfortable. Whether it's cuddles, playtime, or medication support, I treat every pet like my own—with patience, compassion, and genuine care. I'm currently off university for the summer, so I'm available most days and times unless I'm on placement. During term time, I'm free most evenings and weekends, except for Wednesdays and Fridays. I provide attentive, loving care tailored to each pet's needs, whether in my home or the owner's. This includes feeding, walks, playtime, and keeping to their routine to ensure they feel safe and comfortable.

About: I’m a secondary teacher so I love dog sitting in the school holidays or at weekends. I live alone and it can be quite lonely - dog sitting is a great way to keep busy and have lots of cuddles! I love all dogs but primarily bigger ones. I grew up with a black lab for a lot do my childhood then had a terrier when I was in my earlier twenties. I’m a full time teacher so only available weekends or school holidays. I usually don’t take dogs when I’m at school as this would be unfair on the dog. I basically let the dogs go wherever they want in my house. No area off limits unless I’m out. Dogs can be on my furniture, I have blankets on my sofa. I also allow dogs to sleep in my bed at night. Even when they have their own bed, dogs always opt to cuddle up with me haha! My front garden is fenced and perfect for a quick morning pee but I usually walk dogs round to the football grounds 10 mins away from the house. I usually choose 3 walks a day and go to bed around 10pm so the final toilet outing is at 9.30pm.

“Thank you so much for looking after Phoebe, Charlie & Floki. You really are amazing and I loved the messages and photo and video updates. I’ve never left my dogs with anyone other than family before but you’ve been amazing. I know they’ve had so much fun with you. Thank you 💕”


About: I have been surrounded by dogs my whole life from a young age. I have lived with 2 amazing rescue greyhounds, walked friends wonderful whippets and looked after 2 loving Labradors I am currently a University student on my summer break. I am generally free at all times this summer from June-September. Just let me know what you need and I will try my best to be there! I stick to routine, making sure feeding and walking times are consistent. I am happy to play in or outside and taking long walks or short walks when needed. I am able to assess dogs comfort and emotions and take the correct approach to make sure they are always the happiest they can be!

About: I've taken care of small animals all my life and grew up with dogs. I'm a fully qualified vet nurse and have worked in the veterinary profession for almost 4 years. Animals are my life and I care for them for a living as well as my own at home. I'd also care for small furries if given detailed instructions. I'm currently working full time as an RVN so my schedule may be quite difficult to manage. I am available most evenings and weekends for walking/home sitting. I unfortunately can't offer services in my own home as I have a reactive German Shepherd who appreciates her own space. I would love to care for animals in their own home and stick to their normal routine as much as possible. I also give loads of hugs but I can give them their space if needed.

About: I have experience caring for pets of all sizes – from dogs and cats to guinea pigs! I’ve looked after both energetic puppies and senior dogs, tailoring their care to their individual needs. I'm confident with feeding routines, walks, playtime, and administering basic medications. Your pet will be in safe, loving hands. I work full time and available after 6 pm with some flexibility to work from home, and I’m mostly available on weekends for daytime care or overnight stays. I live in a secure, pet-friendly flat with a large, fenced garden – perfect for safe outdoor time. I'm also just a 3-minute walk from a lovely big park for walks and play. I'm happy to crate your dog if needed and always make sure they feel comfortable and cared for.

About: I grew up on a farm so have an all round love of animals in general. I currently have Nevis a 4 year old, one eyed English Bulldog and also previously had a Samoyed, Shih Tzu and Boxer so have varied breed experience. You can see in my photos I cared for a litter of puppies which gave me great experience but taught me I was not destined to be a breeder. As you can see in the photos all of the puppies are very close to us and I see them regularly. Happy to look after any animals following owners usual routine. All requests will be assessed to ensure I can meet your needs and I will not commit if I am not right for you and your pet. All areas and dates between those above considered. I am insured, DBS in progress and registered with National Association of Registered Pet Sitters and Dog Walkers. My current career is in pharmaceutical and life science auditing and compliance so training and legislation is a key aspect aspect to me. Any pet sits would be fully assessed before commiting to ensure they are my priority and can have my full attention. I follow owners schedule requested. No change to pet's daily life. If i cannot fulfill the owners requests then I will not commit. I treat pets exactly as owner requests following their own routine in the comfort of their own home. My goal is for the pet to feel safe, relaxed and loved.

About: I’ve previously owned dogs, cats and horses and work in a doggy day care. I’m understanding of any breeds and personalities of all kinds of dogs I currently work Tuesday- Friday and off the weekend and Mondays to do some extra shifts playing and taking care of more dogs around the area I love to walk for hours so why not use that benefit and help you walk your dogs in lovely areas when timing in a struggle especially in winter

About: I retired from full time work a few years ago, so I now have loads of time on a daily basis to allocate to dog walking/sitting/drop-in visits/boarding. I have been a dog owner/carer since 2010. In that time, I have cared for my dog, Cody. Cody had epilepsy and also a heart condition. Therefore I also have experiance in administering oral medication to a rather reluctant dog. I was lucky enough to be Cody's owner for almost 12 of the best years ever. When Cody and I went for a walk, it was very much Cody taking me for a walk rather than the other way round. I believe that's the way it should be. It's the dogs time to do what a dog needs to do, it's the Owner's responsibility to ensure the walk is done in a relaxed and safe manner. I'm now the owner of a very lovable Maltese Terrier. Toby had been my Sister-In-Laws dog since birth and is now 7 years old. I have been Toby's owner since August 2024. So, if you're looking for a reliable dog carer with loads of time for your dog, then let me know. I retired from full time work a few years ago, so I now have loads of time on a daily basis to allocate to dog walking/sitting/drop-in visits/boarding. I have a very friendly 7 year old male Maltese Terrier to keep your dog company. As with my own dog, your dog is free to roam anywhere within my house and within my fenced in back garden. My house is a bungalow, so no stairs to worry about. I can and do spend a lot of time ensuring my dog is as safe and comfortable as possible. I will do the same for your dog.

“Denise and her partner were great sitters and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. Our dog and cat were very happy with them, and Denise sent us daily updates. The house was spotless when we returned - the bedding was even laundered and fresh towels put in the bathroom. They even thought to leave us bread, milk and butter. So thoughtful, communication was excellent and it felt good to know our home and pets were so well looked after.”
