I would recommend Sue to anyone looking for someone to leave their precious pets with - you're in more-than-safe hands. We'll have Sue back any time we are away in the future! Thank you ever so much, Sue xxx”

“Jill was great with Ruby. Ruby really settled in with her and was sad when she left! Jill kept us updated with how she was and what they were doing which was great to see everything was going well for the both of them.”

“I can wholeheartedly recommend Fabiana and her partner Mateo for dog/ house sitting. We are always nervous about leaving our dog when we go away but they stayed in our home and ensured that he was properly looked after whilst we were away; they even worked their shifts together to give him his usual number of daily walks and not disrupt his routine. We will definitely ask Fabiana first before we go anywhere else. Thank you so much for the videos, updates and peace of mind!!!”

“I decided to try housesitting as my cat has struggled with my previous arrangements during holidays. I was very nervous about it as I’ve never used a house-sitter before. I’m so glad I found Jordan and booked him. He was wonderful. Jordan took very good care of the house and made sure my cat was happy. I received lots of updates and pictures which gave me enormous peace of mind. My cat had a lovely time hanging out with Jordan and was sad when he left! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Jordan or book him again in the future 😊”

“Maisie looked after our puppy for the day, and she was brilliant with him. Excellent communication leading up to the day, and he was very happy to be left with her. Look forward to having Maisie sit for us again.”

Doggy daycare with a hint of boarding for your pooches. My Italian greyhound has the sweetest friendliest temperament which calms new dogs on their first visit especially those that are anxious to new places. I have daycare dogs most days who are all treated like my own, they have run of the house and garden and are all calm and friendly in temperament and I wish I could adopt them all. I would have a clan of dogs if I could, but for now this is the next best thing. I will treat your dog like they are part of the family they won’t know you’ve gone. Plenty of treats walks and attention. I always do a meet and greet and I am happy to do free trial hours for those doggy’s that need a little extra to be reassured they’re in a safe space.

About: I grew up with dogs in our household and for the last 20 years I've had my own dogs but lost my last one, Sanza, a Toy Poodle, in June 2025. I dog sit two Dachshund sisters aged 15 regularly and enjoy it very much. I love dogs and would treat your dogs as if they were my own. Your pet's comfort, happiness and safety is my priority. I have experience of giving medication via injection as my dog was diabetic and had to have insulin injections twice a day as well as oral medication. I also have experience of looking after senior dogs as I have cared for dogs who are 14 and 15 years old. I am available to look after your dogs in my home or at your home so they have as little disruption to their routine as possible. I am retired so I'am at home all day so can look after your pets whenever you need me. I'm very flexible and can adjust my schedule to fit in around your needs. I have an enclosed garden which is fully fenced/ brick wall. The garden is very secure. I live in a semi detached bungalow so there are no stairs to climb. I have lots of toys for your dogs to play with. I am available to look after them in their own home or at my home. I am retired so I am around all the time to look after your dogs. I prefer to look after small dogs but will look after medium sized dogs as long as they walk well on the lead as I walk with a crutch so can't manage to walk large dogs who pull or lunge too strongly when they react to other dogs. I do not look after large dogs for safety reasons.

About: I’ve been lucky enough to spend my life surrounded by animals of all shapes and sizes – from playful pups and cuddly cats to tropical fish, and even bees! 🐝 Animals have always been a huge part of my world, and caring for them comes naturally to me. I have hands-on experience looking after dogs, cats, and fish. I’ve also trained my own dogs, which means I understand how important patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement are. Whether it’s a puppy learning the ropes, or an older dog who needs a gentler pace, I adapt to each animal’s unique needs. With bees, I’ve learned the importance of calm handling, respect, and attentiveness – skills I bring to all the pets I care for. Safety, trust, and making sure your pet feels comfortable are always my top priorities. Your furry (or finned!) family member will be cared for as if they were my own – with love, attention, and plenty of fun. A Day in My Care 🐾 • Morning Walks (7am – 9am): A refreshing start to the day with plenty of exercise, sniffing, and tail wags. Perfect for dogs who like to burn off energy first thing. Session length can be discussed. • Midday Visits (11am – 2pm): Feeding, toilet breaks, playtime, or a calm walk — tailored to your pet’s routine. • Afternoon Adventures (3pm – 5pm): Shorter walks as welcome as the longer ones, or quieter sessions in the garden depending on your dog’s needs. • Evening Check-Ins (6pm – 8pm): Dinner, toilet breaks, and some quiet companionship to wind down. Your pet’s safety and happiness always come first. I understand how much trust it takes to let someone else care for your furry family member, and I take that responsibility seriously. • Safety: I keep walks controlled, calm, and enjoyable. I only use secure leads and harnesses, avoid unsafe areas, and always pay attention to your dog’s comfort and limits. It’s always good to get to know your dog beforehand so let me know what they’re like both inside and outside, any behavioural quirks or anything else you might think useful. • Trust: Animals respond best when they feel safe and respected. I will take time to get to know your pet’s personality so they can relax and enjoy themselves while you’re away. • Environment: I adapt to your pet’s routine and surroundings to reduce stress and keep things familiar. Walks can be energetic adventures or calm strolls, depending on what your dog needs. You can feel confident knowing your pet will be cared for with patience, consistency, and kindness — as if they were my own.

About: I’ve had dogs and small animals all my life, I also have a level 3 BTEC Deploma in animals management and was chosen for a two week work experience trip in St Lucia where I worked in stables and a dog shelter as well as learning from locals about how they do there part to protect wildlife, as well as this I also did a two year work experience at Matlock farm park where I working with both large and small animals including alpacas, wallabies, sheep, goats, meerkats, rabbits and guinea pigs. I’m currently a second year university student studying zoology and conservation at Bangor University and I’ve just been to Florida as part of my studies looking at conservation and land management across different habitats. I’m currently at university so while im off for Easter and summer break I would be free all day to sit for you pets and give them lots of attention and play time. Before pet sitting I’d ask you about your pets temperament and daily routine as well as any medical conditions and medication as well as dietary requirements. I’d also check to make sure that any outdoor areas are safe and sucure. If walks are permitted I’ll ask how far they like to walk and which routes they like to go on.

About: I've had a wide range of animals since I was a baby, so 28 years now. I've had small and large dogs so I'm comfortable with all, as well as a range of different types of cats. This will be my first year without my own animal and I'm definitely missing the personality they bring to the house. In my photos you will see my recents pets and how much I love being outside. I am a self employed hairdresser and set my own hours so can create lots of free time. With being a hairdresser I spend lot's of time inside, but love to be outdoors. I don't have a garden but around me I have lot's of fields and a dog park, I love walking so this is the perfect job for me.

About: I’m a warm, friendly and reliable pet sitter, and together with my partner Lauren, we offer caring and dependable pet sitting for animals of all ages and personalities. As pet owners ourselves, we understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust to care for your pets and keep them happy, safe and comfortable while you’re away. Having rescued my own dog in the past, Lily, I know how much patience, trust and gentle care can mean to a pet. Through helping with her training, building her confidence and understanding her individual needs, I’ve developed a calm and compassionate approach to animal care. Together, Lauren and I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality, routine and needs so we can make them feel settled and well cared for. Whether your pet enjoys playtime, quiet companionship, sticking to a familiar routine or needs a little extra patience and reassurance, we always adapt our care to suit them. We’re especially understanding with young pets who are still learning, as well as older pets who may need a softer, more attentive approach. Pet care fits really naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I run my own business, so I have a flexible schedule and can plan my time around the pets I’m caring for. This means I’m able to offer visits, walks, and sitting at times that work best for each pet and their owner. My partner Lauren also helps with sitting and works remotely, so together we’re able to be really flexible and make sure pets get plenty of care, company, and attention throughout the day. We love creating a calm, caring environment and tailoring our service to suit each pet’s individual routine and needs. We offer pet sitting in the pet’s own home, as we find this is where they feel most comfortable, settled, and secure. Staying in their familiar surroundings helps keep their routine as normal as possible and can make the whole experience much less stressful for them. We always take the time to get to know each pet’s usual routine, from feeding and walks to playtime, rest, and any little habits that help them feel at ease. Our aim is to make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away, with plenty of attention, reassurance, and love.
