About: I provide extra attention and care to pets. Because of how meticulous I am, I easily and quickly notice changes in their personalities or moods which is very necessary in picking up signs of health issues or any distress. I believe it is very important to treat animals with love and provide them with all the care possible. I have catered for different kinds of pets so I am very aware that different pets require personal attention and care specific to them because temperaments and behavioural patterns are different. That helped me understand better how to train pets based on their individual/personal circumstances. Every pet is a new joyful experience for me. It warms my heart to care for them which makes me feel like they do more for me. I love them.
“What can I say from start to finish I have been absolutely thrilled with the service Sarah provided. Great communication throughout, doggy updates daily but most of all our dogs were truly made to feel at home and superbly looked after. I wouldn't hesitate to use Sarah again in a heartbeat”
“Pete and Emma were lovely and treat Teddy like their own. We had a few get to know walks and practice stays. Whilst we were away we received regular updates from them and he looked very settled and happy. He had plenty of walks and activities. It put our minds at ease knowing Teddy was enjoying his time away from us and would definitely use them again to look after Teddy. Thank you so much Pete and Emma.”

About: I’ve grown up with both dogs and cats and have over 20 years of experience caring for my own cats. Alongside this, I have around 10 years of hands-on experience looking after dogs for extended periods, often for weeks at a time. I’m very comfortable with animals of all personalities and needs, and I genuinely enjoy providing them with a safe, happy, and loving environment while they’re in my care. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine as I’m not currently working, which means I have plenty of time and flexibility to give pets the attention they deserve. I’m home most of the day, so I can maintain consistent feeding schedules, provide regular playtime, and ensure pets feel comfortable and settled. I’m able to adapt my routine around each pet’s needs, whether that’s multiple walks for dogs, quiet companionship for cats, or sticking closely to specific care instructions. Because of my availability, I can offer a calm, attentive environment and won’t need to rush or leave pets alone for long periods. I provide attentive, reliable care whether pets are in my home or in their owner’s home. In my home, I create a calm, safe, and welcoming environment where pets can settle in comfortably, sticking closely to their usual routines for feeding, play, and rest. I make sure they get plenty of attention, stimulation, and affection so they feel relaxed and at home. When caring for pets in their owner’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions carefully to maintain the pet’s normal routine. I ensure feeding schedules, walks, litter or garden care, and any specific needs are met consistently. I also keep owners updated for peace of mind, so they know their pets are happy and well looked after while they’re away.
About: Hi, I’m Dave. I’ve had dogs all my life and have experience caring for both large and small breeds with different personalities and energy levels. At home we currently have Scout, our friendly 10-month-old German Shepherd and Golden Retriever cross, so your dog would have a sociable companion during their stay. We also have an older cat who sleeps upstairs out of the way. Our home is family-friendly, so any dog staying with us would need to be comfortable around secondary school-aged children. I understand how important it is for dogs to feel safe, relaxed, and part of the family while their owners are away. Your dog will receive plenty of attention, companionship, exercise, and a caring home environment during their stay. There is always someone home for company.I work full time night shift so will be in with your pet through the day whilst my wife works day shift so is in through the night plus our 2 sons who are always about. We have a fully fenced and secure garden where the dogs can safely play and relax. Scout loves digging up the garden, so part of it is sectioned off — if your dog is a digger too, don’t worry, ours is as well lol. Scout gets three walks a day along with plenty of playtime and attention from the family in between, and your pet would be treated as part of the family too.
“Absolutely fantastic service ,was kept fully up to date and got some amazing videos and pictures, highly recommend and definitely will continue to use Damian for the future ! Couldn't of asked for anyone better to watch my pooch”
“Kay and her family gave Lady a home from home experience. With regular updates and photos of the fun they have had while Lady was in their care. Kay made me and my partner feel very comfortable and reassured Lady was in safe and loving hands. I am wholeheartedly thankful for Kay for making not only Lady’s but our experience so blissful. As it was our first time leaving Lady since we took ownership of her when my partners mam sadly passed a year ago. We could not recommended Kay more.”
“Nicola and Kevin were a good choice. Our old dog had regular walks in his pushchair and on the lead. He was happy and settled from the moment he arrived. We would be happy for him to stop again. Thanks Nicola and Kevin”

About: I have experience in dog boarding for my external family on a regular. My flexible working schedule would allow me to spend more time with dogs. I’m surrounded by woodland that is great for dog walking. I work 4 days a week . I work from home majority of the time. I have 2 children who love dogs, they are aged 7 and 8. I have a fenced back garden. My house has 4 bedrooms with a large kitchen and a large living room so dogs have plenty of space.
“Having been let down by another sitter we found Andrew what impressed me was the personal write up on his profile, due to the fact we have 2 rescue dogs we thought Andrew’s previous experience would be perfect and this turned out to be correct Dexter & Holly have just returned after a one night trial and all has gone well, before booking this we went through with the dogs to see if we could introduce them and see how it went Due to Andrew’s perfect calm nature the dogs settled to our amazement really well and Holly fell in love with Andrew The overnight stay has gone well even though the dogs seemed more anxious when dropping off Dexter who we thought may be an issue settled straight away but through patients and staying away Holly settled after 2 hours I would highly recommend Andrew but reluctant as I don’t want him to become too busy so we can’t get back booked in 😂 It has been a pleasure dealing with Andrew and his lovely partner Sian we feel blessed to have found such a lovely caring perfect dog sitter and now booking up for our dogs when we go on Holiday Regards Colin & Nicky”

About: As a devoted cat owner, I've gained valuable hands-on experience caring for my own cat and understand just how important it is to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment. I've also had the pleasure of caring for other people's cats, taking the time to understand each cat's unique personality, routine, and needs. I've travelled with my own cat, ensuring he remained calm, comfortable, and well looked after throughout the journey. This taught me the importance of patience, preparation, and helping cats feel secure in unfamiliar situations. One of the most rewarding experiences I've had was caring for my cat during an illness. I carefully monitored his behaviour, followed his care routine, made sure he stayed comfortable, and gave him plenty of love and attention throughout his recovery. Thankfully, he recovered quickly, reinforcing the importance of being attentive, gentle, and responsive to a cat's needs. I know that every cat is different—some are playful and affectionate, while others prefer their own space—and I always adapt my care to suit their personality. Working from home allows me to spend plenty of quality time with the cats in my care, so they receive lots of companionship and are never left alone for long periods. I also maintain a clean, calm, and tidy home to create a relaxing environment where cats can feel safe and at ease. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your cat with someone else, and I don't take that responsibility lightly. I'll care for your cat as if they were my own, following their routine closely and providing regular updates and photos so you can enjoy complete peace of mind while you're away.
“Amy was amazing looking after our cat Arthur for 3 days! she communicated at each visit (2x a day) with photos to keep my mind at ease and Arthur loved her! She’s super reliable, will be using her again 😊 Recommend!”
“Susan was fantastic with Ivar, she did everything perfectly and was lovely enough to do a drop in the day before to have a chat with us and find where we live, would recommend :)”
“Evie was great. We felt comfortable trusting her to look after Shadow (our cat) as soon as we met her. Shadow also took to her straight away which is rare! We got updates and photos every day so didn't have to worry while we were away. This was the first time we had left Shadow with a sitter and we will definitely be trusting Evie again!”
About: I’ve always loved cats and really enjoy spending time with them, whether that’s keeping them company, playing with them or simply giving them a calm and relaxed presence while you’re away. I understand that every cat has a different personality, from confident and affectionate to shy and independent, and I’m happy to go at their pace and follow their usual routine.
About: I love cats! They're my favourite pet, had cats all throughout my upbringing, baby kittens, older cats. I know just exactly how they act and what they like, and I'm sure that they'll like me as much as I like them!
About: Hello. I'm Dan, 34 years old and a lot of free time giving me the opportunity to help you and your pets. I'm an avid animal lover of all types and would welcome all invitations to walk, watch over and treat your best friends as mine too. I like to stay active, keeping a regular walking distance everyday and would happily welcome company on those walks. Whether that be short routes around the neighbourhood or a much longer trek in the hopes of tiring them out by the end of the day. I am a licenced first aider with lots of experience fostering dogs and cats in the past with severe medical conditions and other special requirements. In those situations I'm well trained to remain calm under pressure and skilled at assisting your pet in times of need.
“Louise was brilliant and I highly recommend her. Communication was great, our cat loved her and I had had great peace of mind while I was away. Really pleased with the service as a whole.”
About: I love all animals and have extensive experience looking after dogs, including having fostered a dog abroad with my partner and having cared for friends and neighbours dogs in the UK and overseas Flexible and adaptable to your pets needs, however full time attention will be given due to being in between jobs after working overseas for the past 4 months. I am a very respectful person who has stayed in many places across the world. I have great reviews and would treat your dog as if they were my own!
About: I have owned dogs all my life. I have a whippet cross currently and my parents have a patterdale that I look after regularly. I have an understanding with all kinds of dogs especially reactive! I mainly work evening/night shifts so have a lot of time through the day for walking/spending time with my dog. He’s very dog friendly so would love some new friends. I have a fully fenced back garden, and my dog is very dog friendly. However I do have the time for dogs that need to be alone also.
“Thank you hun very much appreciated, by the photos ash enjoyed your company once again thank you definitely recommend , photos are such a nice touch ps however I would of appreciated if you could of asked me if it was ok your boyfriend could stay with you instead of just inviting him in for an hour without my knowledge”
About: I’ve had cats for over 20 years and have extensive experience caring for them at all stages of life. I’m very comfortable with their individual personalities, from playful and energetic to shy or independent. I understand the importance of routine, patience, and creating a calm, safe environment. Whether it’s feeding, litter care, playtime, or simply giving them space and affection on their terms, I’m confident in providing attentive and loving care for every cat I look after.
“Vanessa is hands down one of the best cat sitters we’ve ever had. The cats like her as well, there was no hiding or shyness from them. You can really tell that she loves taking care of cats. She went above and beyond with making sure the litter box was filled and she also tidied up! What a gem! She sends us pictures and updates everyday. Our fave!”
“Casey was great taking care of our cat, Steve. She sent us daily updates about how he was doing and how much he had eaten. Casey noticed about the house being too warm so opened up the windows while there.”
About: I've cared for cats for most of my life and currently share my home with my own much-loved cats. Friends, family and neighbours have trusted me for many years to feed, care for and spend time with their cats while they're away. I understand that every cat is different, from playful kittens to elderly cats who need a quieter approach. During each visit I provide fresh food and water, litter tray cleaning, playtime, cuddles (if wanted!), and a welfare check to ensure your cat is happy and healthy. I also provide photo and message updates after every visit, giving owners peace of mind while they're away. As someone who has worked in the NHS for over 20 years, I understand the importance of reliability, trust and compassionate care.
About: As a pet owner myself I am an excellent sitter and I have also cared for friends and families pets while they have been away on holidays. I can provide your pets with the best quality of care as I would with my pets and keep them well entertained. Each experience with a pet has lend me to understand each pet individually so make sure they have a stress free time while you are away. I am currently away from home to attend University. I’m originally from Newcastle and have a couple of pets at home which I miss terribly but being a student in student living I am not allowed to get any sort of pets which is hard as I am pet lover. I joined this app to help pets feel comfort while you are away and for me to experience the enjoy of pets love again. I can help you provide and keep your pets on their schedules of their daily activities such as walk to stretch their legs and keep them active, being feed and water, play time and also a time to rest.
About: I’m experienced in handling large dogs (any size/breed welcome) and have a deep understanding of the needs and quirks of anxious and reactive dogs and the care and patience they require through my experience with my extremely nervous rescue German Shepherd who was in very bad mental and physical condition when I adopted him. Sadly, he passed at the end of 2024 after many happy years together. Personally, I found it extremely difficult to trust others to walk or care for him during our time together so I’d like to reassure those in a similar position that I can take care of their best friend when they need it and I’ll always be as careful, understanding and vigilant as I was with my own. My garden is secure with full, well-maintained fences and walls and a padlocked gate, I have blinds on all public facing windows which can be closed if dogs are triggered by people walking by. Everyone is welcome to supply any toys, beds or anything that makes your dog feel more comfortable and of course I will stick to their usual walking schedule and dietary requirements. I live directly next to a large park which is not typically very busy and offers numerous trails from the main paths to avoid others when caring for reactive dogs. I will never let anyone’s dog off the lead during a walk (unless I have booked a secure field) and always clip leads to a strong walking belt as extra security, walk in shaded areas on hot days and carry water at all times. I mainly work from home so when boarding and pet sitting your dog will be with me all day with regular opportunities to play, go in the garden and for walks in the morning, lunch time and evening. I’m available for walks morning, lunchtime and evenings during the week and all day Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday. I only care for dogs from the same household on walks and in my home unless they are friends who have already spent time together. This is for the best possible wellbeing of each dog. I’d rather provide quality and complete confidence than take on as many dogs as possible as I believe in giving them the individual care and attention they deserve with as few stressful triggers as possible. I work from home so dogs will not be left unattended or outside for prolonged periods. I only endorse the use of positive reinforcement / reward-based training and treat all dogs with respect, understanding and care tailored to their specific needs. I’m happy to discuss your requirements, answer any questions and arrange a pre-stay meet and greet if required. I have also completed a certified DBS check through my employer. We do not have any children or pets of our own in our home.
“Great care given to my two precious little cats Vivienne and Vincent. Excellent communication. Very reassuring. Upon my return the cats seemed calm and content. Looking forward to my next trip knowing my cats are look after with lots of attention and love. Big thank you to Slyvia 😃👌❤️”

About: 📸Instagram: hemkysfriendsclub I have been around dogs ever since I was a baby and I grew up with Rottweilers and mixed breeds. I also have an 11 year old miniature poodle back home in Portugal (living with my mom), and a friendly 6 month-old cockapoo living with me and my partner. I’m comfortable with different breeds and routines, as long as you provide me with this information beforehand so I can provide a warm, relaxed home where your pets will be treated like family. I work from home full-time, so pets are part of my daily routine with regular walks, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. I live right next to a green area for quick and frequent outings, and on weekends I enjoy longer walks to parks or the beach for extra exercise and enrichment. I am available for weekday meet-and-greets and onboarding either before 8am or after 5pm. Pets staying in my home will be cared for in a calm, safe, and relaxed environment. I have a secure fenced garden for supervised outdoor time and toilet breaks. My friendly 6-month-old cockapoo puppy is also at home and can provide company and gentle social interaction, helping visiting dogs feel comfortable and settled. If required, I can also keep pets in separate rooms to ensure everyone has their own space to relax and feel at ease. I always aim to follow each pet's routine and individual needs as closely as possible.
“Bonnie and Blu had an amazing day! I loved the regular updates and photos – it gave me so much peace of mind. They looked so happy and well cared for the whole time. I can tell they were truly loved. Highly recommend!”
“Beth is great and so caring, Kobe suffers from severe anxiety, but Beth was very patient with him and he was well looked after. Beth is happy to go the extra mile and has offered to help work on Kobe's anxiety, I would highly recommend her, thanks again.”
“Jasper loved staying with Sian for day care and was so excited on the second day as soon as we got to the house. He made himself right at home from the minute he walked in and I was kept up to date during the day which was really appreciated. Will definitely be booking again.”
About: Hi I’m India! I’ve owned dogs my whole life from chihuahuas to alsatians and everything in between. At my family home we have an assortment of pets from horses to cats and dogs. Over the summer months I will be back home with lots of free time so I’d love to play care and love your pets when you’re at work or going away. We have lots of space including, enclosed fields, fenced gardens and dog runs as well as rooms inside to keep your pet separate from other dogs if that’s what you would prefer! Im a kind, patient person and I’m capable of handling dogs that may need a slightly stricter approach, my husky for example pulls on her lead very badly (I’m trying to train her out of this though!) Thank you for reading and please keep me in mind :) Your pets needs would dictate my routine. I’m happy to accommodate older pets who may not need lots of exercise or the opposite and take your pet out to play and walk all day. We have lots of space including, enclosed fields, fenced gardens and dog runs as well as rooms inside to keep your pet separate from other dogs if that’s what you would prefer!
“So glad I found Andrew. Was the first time using Rover and first time leaving Jasper with anyone other than family so I was more than a little nervous. Andrew sent me updates and photos to put my mind at rest. Jasper settled in straight away and will definitely be booking again.”
About: I have taken care of pets for the majority of my life. I couldn't imagine my home without them. I have had dogs for almost 10 years and they mean the absolute world to me. I am a very overprotective dog parent!! So you can be assured your dog(s) will be in safe hands and I will take care of them as if they are one of my own. I have a dog of my own called Willow. She is a Cockapoo and is the friendliest, most loving dog you will ever meet! She absolutely adores being around other dogs and will definitely enjoy a playmate. Currently I work from home the majority of the time so looking after your dog will fit perfectly in to my daily schedule. I am self employed also, so walks, playtime and feeding will work around what suits your dog best and will take priority when they are in my care. I have a secured and large back garden with lots of grass. There is no plants/shrubs/flowers which are unsafe for dogs. I also live over the road from two large fields and I am more than happy to take your dog on a walk around the park. I have a good sized car with a dog gate which is suitable for your pup to travel in. Your dog will recieve my full attention and lots of love and fusses!
About: I have loved and cared for dogs my entire life and have grown up in a dog loving home. My family has a French Bulldog who is now 12 years old, and I have been closely involved in his care throughout his life from a little pup all the way to a senior dog. I regularly look after him when my family are away, ensuring his daily routines are maintained and that he feels comfortable and well cared for. In addition to this, I frequently care for other family pets while they are on holiday, providing walking, feeding, and general day to day care. I am attentive, patient, and reliable, and I understand how important it is for owners to feel confident that their pets are safe, happy, and cared for as they would be at home. I am available for dog boarding, doggy daycare, dog walking, and drop in visits from Fridays through to Mondays. I can organise longer stays/visits upon request. For those that choose dog boarding/dog sitting, I live with my partner who will also be in the house as he works at home full time. I provide a calm, safe, and attentive environment both in my home and in a pet owner’s home. My home is spacious and comfortable, allowing dogs plenty of room to relax, and I also have a large, fully fenced garden where they can safely play and get fresh air. Outside of my home, I have access to lots of green spaces, which allows me to take dogs on regular walks in quiet, natural surroundings. When caring for pets in an owner’s home, I follow all instructions carefully to maintain their normal routines, including feeding, walking, and any specific care needs.

We now both work from home together, which means your dog will never be alone. With flexible structure to our day to day we can accommodate your dogs routine and requirements. Your dog will have access to a large, secure garden and the entire ground floor to relax and play. We're committed to offering a safe, loving environment—and peace of mind for you—whenever your dog needs a home away from home.
“Harvey spent the day here and was very chilled when we collected him. He was very well looked after and had obviously enjoyed the day. Kay is lovely and we will definitely be booking again and it was so nice to not worry about him and know he was being so well cared for.”
“Scooby, my six month old Cavachon went to Eve’s for doggy day care on the 3rd May, 2023, for the first time. Booking through Rover is a breeze but Eve goes the extra mile adding a personal touch. Communication & promptness to reply, asking questions about Scooby’s likes & dislikes, walks/if he was aloud off the lead, everything & more was covered & catered for. I cannot fault or rate Eve highly enough, pure perfection, I have rebooked a further five days, this time with boarding. Please anyone considering booking with Eve, don’t hesitate , you will not be disappointed.”

About: I’m a young, enthusiastic animal lover. Working with animals since I was only 15. I’ve done everything from dog walking, to a kennel and Cattery worker, to working in a groomers, a hydrotherapy and doing a 2 year animal management course at Askham Bryan College. I have taken an animal first aid course and I have experience dealing with dogs/cats who have a medical condition and need medication. My passion is to care for animals of all shapes and sizes, and of all ages. At home I have 3 dogs, a chalkie, yorkipoo and patterdale, and I’m also close with 2 staffies which my dad owns. Currently I have fish and a crested gecko too. However, in the past I’ve also owned Syrian hamsters. In my spare time I enjoy going for long dog walks to either the beach or woodlands. Of course dogs will need bathing after these walks which is something else I enjoy doing.

About: I've grown up in a pet friendly house caring and looking after every type of animal, from cats, dogs, rodents and birds, any shape or size animal was welcomed in our house. I currently work part time as I'm a uni student so I have plenty of time to look after pets, even on days I work I have plenty of time to spare. I currently live in an apartment but with access to a shared garden and massive field. Plenty of walking opportunities for dogs and lots of attention for cats.
About: I've had pets ever since I was a little kid, I've had dozens of connections with cats of my own and I love them, the same going for dogs too! I have a very good sense and closeness with animals that can ensure that your pet is well cared for and looked after. I am currently a student finishing up the end of his year, meaning I have plenty of spare time to care for all your pets in need while you're away! I'm available almost anytime throughout the week and I'm spontaneous with taking care of them, and I can take care of them overnight on weekdays for when needed! I'm a very gentle pet handler, I'll make sure that their happiness and wellbeing is held to just as high a standard as their safety is, with that being top of the line. I can always keep my eye out on them and be attentive at all times for when the situation calls for it.

About: I’ve started caring for animals since I was 10, starting with small rodents like hamsters and rabbits, even having fishies multiple times. Since 13 I’ve looked after my two Jack Russel Terrier mixes who are inseparable. They have PTSD and have come out of their shell amazingly and are now older dogs but still loving all the same. I also now have a Cockapoo who has major separation anxiety when away from my mom and I keep her so happy and entertained. I’ve cared for manny animals for others in the last 4 years, from a French bulldog with dietary requirements, special walking needs and anxiety to a bigger golden retriever who is caring all round. I’ve fostered a handful of kittens and cats before finding them a loving and caring forever home, I’ve looked after manny dogs and even smaller pets like reptiles and rodents. I am currently in University however it doesn’t take up every day of my week, this means most days of the week I will always be free. As for weekends, I can move things around to suit your best needs! When it comes to your home, I will be with the animal all hours of my time there, minus my own toilet breaks of course ahaha, and will be walking them as needed or letting them out into the back garden to go toilet. I will make it my too priority if your fur baby has any special requirements they are met on time and at the best quality I can give.
About: I grew up rearing, raising, and training XL dogs on a farm South Africa, from puppy to old age. I have rescued many dogs. Our sheep dog is a rescue. We have a sheepdog and 2 poochons who are super friendly and love making friends. My wife will probably spoil your dog just as much as she spoils our own. My wife is now a qualified dog trainer making us a great pair to ensure your dog is safe and happy during their stay with us. My wife and I both work from home. We're really flexible and we take our dogs for a walk 2 or 3 times a day. We have a walled garden and we have plenty of experience walking dogs. We have a large open plan kitchen/diner with laminate flooring, so easy to clean any mess, and your dog is welcome to chill with us in our lounge on our sofa's. Our house is your dog's house.
About: I’ve grown up with both dogs and cats and have over 20 years of experience caring for my own cats. Alongside this, I have around 10 years of hands-on experience looking after dogs for extended periods, often for weeks at a time. I’m very comfortable with animals of all personalities and needs, and I genuinely enjoy providing them with a safe, happy, and loving environment while they’re in my care. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine as I’m not currently working, which means I have plenty of time and flexibility to give pets the attention they deserve. I’m home most of the day, so I can maintain consistent feeding schedules, provide regular playtime, and ensure pets feel comfortable and settled. I’m able to adapt my routine around each pet’s needs, whether that’s multiple walks for dogs, quiet companionship for cats, or sticking closely to specific care instructions. Because of my availability, I can offer a calm, attentive environment and won’t need to rush or leave pets alone for long periods. I provide attentive, reliable care whether pets are in my home or in their owner’s home. In my home, I create a calm, safe, and welcoming environment where pets can settle in comfortably, sticking closely to their usual routines for feeding, play, and rest. I make sure they get plenty of attention, stimulation, and affection so they feel relaxed and at home. When caring for pets in their owner’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions carefully to maintain the pet’s normal routine. I ensure feeding schedules, walks, litter or garden care, and any specific needs are met consistently. I also keep owners updated for peace of mind, so they know their pets are happy and well looked after while they’re away.
About: I have owned dogs all my life. I have a whippet cross currently and my parents have a patterdale that I look after regularly. I have an understanding with all kinds of dogs especially reactive! I mainly work evening/night shifts so have a lot of time through the day for walking/spending time with my dog. He’s very dog friendly so would love some new friends. I have a fully fenced back garden, and my dog is very dog friendly. However I do have the time for dogs that need to be alone also.
About: As a pet owner myself I am an excellent sitter and I have also cared for friends and families pets while they have been away on holidays. I can provide your pets with the best quality of care as I would with my pets and keep them well entertained. Each experience with a pet has lend me to understand each pet individually so make sure they have a stress free time while you are away. I am currently away from home to attend University. I’m originally from Newcastle and have a couple of pets at home which I miss terribly but being a student in student living I am not allowed to get any sort of pets which is hard as I am pet lover. I joined this app to help pets feel comfort while you are away and for me to experience the enjoy of pets love again. I can help you provide and keep your pets on their schedules of their daily activities such as walk to stretch their legs and keep them active, being feed and water, play time and also a time to rest.
About: Hi, I am a student currently studying a Zoology degree at Hartpury University. I love all animals and I have lots of experience working with them. I have worked at a doggy daycare in the past and have a lot of experience caring of them. I also have experience with elderly dogs and dogs with special needs, as my family dog had diabetes which required daily insulin. He was also deaf and blind but went through cataract surgery so I have a lot of experience with eye drops too. I am currently a university student so my availability will change depending on my schedule. But I am not in university all day every day so I have lots of availability. I offer at home visits where I can visit your pet during the day while you’re away. I will give them some play time and make sure that they’ve gone to the toilet while I am there. I will also make sure if there are any accidents that they have been cleaned up.
About: Hi I’m India! I’ve owned dogs my whole life from chihuahuas to alsatians and everything in between. At my family home we have an assortment of pets from horses to cats and dogs. Over the summer months I will be back home with lots of free time so I’d love to play care and love your pets when you’re at work or going away. We have lots of space including, enclosed fields, fenced gardens and dog runs as well as rooms inside to keep your pet separate from other dogs if that’s what you would prefer! Im a kind, patient person and I’m capable of handling dogs that may need a slightly stricter approach, my husky for example pulls on her lead very badly (I’m trying to train her out of this though!) Thank you for reading and please keep me in mind :) Your pets needs would dictate my routine. I’m happy to accommodate older pets who may not need lots of exercise or the opposite and take your pet out to play and walk all day. We have lots of space including, enclosed fields, fenced gardens and dog runs as well as rooms inside to keep your pet separate from other dogs if that’s what you would prefer!
About: I’m experienced in handling large dogs (any size/breed welcome) and have a deep understanding of the needs and quirks of anxious and reactive dogs and the care and patience they require through my experience with my extremely nervous rescue German Shepherd who was in very bad mental and physical condition when I adopted him. Sadly, he passed at the end of 2024 after many happy years together. Personally, I found it extremely difficult to trust others to walk or care for him during our time together so I’d like to reassure those in a similar position that I can take care of their best friend when they need it and I’ll always be as careful, understanding and vigilant as I was with my own. My garden is secure with full, well-maintained fences and walls and a padlocked gate, I have blinds on all public facing windows which can be closed if dogs are triggered by people walking by. Everyone is welcome to supply any toys, beds or anything that makes your dog feel more comfortable and of course I will stick to their usual walking schedule and dietary requirements. I live directly next to a large park which is not typically very busy and offers numerous trails from the main paths to avoid others when caring for reactive dogs. I will never let anyone’s dog off the lead during a walk (unless I have booked a secure field) and always clip leads to a strong walking belt as extra security, walk in shaded areas on hot days and carry water at all times. I mainly work from home so when boarding and pet sitting your dog will be with me all day with regular opportunities to play, go in the garden and for walks in the morning, lunch time and evening. I’m available for walks morning, lunchtime and evenings during the week and all day Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday. I only care for dogs from the same household on walks and in my home unless they are friends who have already spent time together. This is for the best possible wellbeing of each dog. I’d rather provide quality and complete confidence than take on as many dogs as possible as I believe in giving them the individual care and attention they deserve with as few stressful triggers as possible. I work from home so dogs will not be left unattended or outside for prolonged periods. I only endorse the use of positive reinforcement / reward-based training and treat all dogs with respect, understanding and care tailored to their specific needs. I’m happy to discuss your requirements, answer any questions and arrange a pre-stay meet and greet if required. I have also completed a certified DBS check through my employer. We do not have any children or pets of our own in our home.

About: I've always grown up in animal-oriented households. Along with this and an animal care-based degree, I can offer passionate and knowledgeable care for your pets. My studies gave me knowledge in animal care and behaviour as well as practical experience, so I can offer the best care and adapt to your pet's needs. I can offer care for a whole range of animals, including dogs, cats, birds, rodents and reptiles. I'm passionate about giving animals the best life possible. I look forward to meeting all of your furry, feathered and scaly babies! I am currently enrolled in an online course, so I have full flexibility to suit your and your pet's needs. I also drive, so I am not limited in terms of travel either. I have training in handling and reading the behaviour of a variety of animals so can keep myself, your pet and others safe. 💕 💕
About: I’ve been an animal lover since childhood and have experience caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes from extra large breeds to tiny companion dogs. I own two working breed Labradors who are incredibly fun, friendly, and well-socialised with other dogs. Living with high-energy working breeds has given me a strong understanding of the importance of structure, exercise, mental stimulation, and breed-specific enrichment. I love creating engaging walks and activities that keep dogs happy, fulfilled, and mentally enriched whether that’s scent work, retrieval games, exploring new environments, or simply giving them the attention and interaction they need. I understand that every dog is different and tailor care to suit their personality, energy levels, and routine. I also have a special interest in senior dogs and dogs with medical conditions. I cared extensively for my elderly diabetic dog who also had an immune condition, giving me hands-on experience administering medication, monitoring health needs, and providing calm, patient, compassionate care for dogs requiring extra support. I currently work part time and can offer walks during weekday daytimes up until 5pm. I can also work weekend daytimes until 6pm and can provide daycare on weekends from early morning until 6pm I am not currently offering boarding or daycare, however I am more than happy to provide enrichment, feeding and any other care such as medicine etc, at your home after walks or in place of a walk for special needs.
About: I have had many pets over the years. From a donkey, goats, chickens and of course dogs! I stumbled across offering care for other people's dogs by accident really, but it works really well. I care for our extended family and friends dogs in my home while they go away on holiday. I lost my gorgeous dog four years ago and miss him terribly. I decided this would be a great way to enjoy having the company of a dog again. My dog was a whippet so I know what a good walk looks like! I am are registered on trusted house sitters and have five star reviews from all my sits. I have no dogs myself so your dog would be the only dog to be cared for whilst with me. You can go away knowing your dog would be having a lovely holiday with me while you are having your own holiday. They fit in as my pet for the duration of their stay. If I stayed in your home you could rest assured I know how to look after a home. I have been married for over 40 years. I have an acre garden so grass cutting does not faze me either.
“Helena was lovely. She arrived early and ensured Finn had his full hour walk. I was sent photos and a video of his time with Helena which were great to see - Finn had a great time at the beach and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Helena. We will certainly be booking again! Thank you for taking care of him! :)”

“What can I say from start to finish I have been absolutely thrilled with the service Sarah provided. Great communication throughout, doggy updates daily but most of all our dogs were truly made to feel at home and superbly looked after. I wouldn't hesitate to use Sarah again in a heartbeat”
“Pete and Emma were lovely and treat Teddy like their own. We had a few get to know walks and practice stays. Whilst we were away we received regular updates from them and he looked very settled and happy. He had plenty of walks and activities. It put our minds at ease knowing Teddy was enjoying his time away from us and would definitely use them again to look after Teddy. Thank you so much Pete and Emma.”
About: Hi, I’m Dave. I’ve had dogs all my life and have experience caring for both large and small breeds with different personalities and energy levels. At home we currently have Scout, our friendly 10-month-old German Shepherd and Golden Retriever cross, so your dog would have a sociable companion during their stay. We also have an older cat who sleeps upstairs out of the way. Our home is family-friendly, so any dog staying with us would need to be comfortable around secondary school-aged children. I understand how important it is for dogs to feel safe, relaxed, and part of the family while their owners are away. Your dog will receive plenty of attention, companionship, exercise, and a caring home environment during their stay. There is always someone home for company.I work full time night shift so will be in with your pet through the day whilst my wife works day shift so is in through the night plus our 2 sons who are always about. We have a fully fenced and secure garden where the dogs can safely play and relax. Scout loves digging up the garden, so part of it is sectioned off — if your dog is a digger too, don’t worry, ours is as well lol. Scout gets three walks a day along with plenty of playtime and attention from the family in between, and your pet would be treated as part of the family too.
“Absolutely fantastic service ,was kept fully up to date and got some amazing videos and pictures, highly recommend and definitely will continue to use Damian for the future ! Couldn't of asked for anyone better to watch my pooch”
“Kay and her family gave Lady a home from home experience. With regular updates and photos of the fun they have had while Lady was in their care. Kay made me and my partner feel very comfortable and reassured Lady was in safe and loving hands. I am wholeheartedly thankful for Kay for making not only Lady’s but our experience so blissful. As it was our first time leaving Lady since we took ownership of her when my partners mam sadly passed a year ago. We could not recommended Kay more.”
“Nicola and Kevin were a good choice. Our old dog had regular walks in his pushchair and on the lead. He was happy and settled from the moment he arrived. We would be happy for him to stop again. Thanks Nicola and Kevin”
“Zoe was fabulous with Kobi who settled very well. We were provided with loads of photos & videos. It looks like Kobi had a great break, as much as we did. We will be booking with Zoe again. A BIG Thank You from all of us”
“Sian made me feel comfortable and at ease to leave Reggie with her she was very welcoming and nice Reggie absolutely loved it she kept me up to date with pics and messages and this helped a lot knowing he had settled absolutely perfect sitter !”
“Having been let down by another sitter we found Andrew what impressed me was the personal write up on his profile, due to the fact we have 2 rescue dogs we thought Andrew’s previous experience would be perfect and this turned out to be correct Dexter & Holly have just returned after a one night trial and all has gone well, before booking this we went through with the dogs to see if we could introduce them and see how it went Due to Andrew’s perfect calm nature the dogs settled to our amazement really well and Holly fell in love with Andrew The overnight stay has gone well even though the dogs seemed more anxious when dropping off Dexter who we thought may be an issue settled straight away but through patients and staying away Holly settled after 2 hours I would highly recommend Andrew but reluctant as I don’t want him to become too busy so we can’t get back booked in 😂 It has been a pleasure dealing with Andrew and his lovely partner Sian we feel blessed to have found such a lovely caring perfect dog sitter and now booking up for our dogs when we go on Holiday Regards Colin & Nicky”
