“I was really nervous about leaving my dog with strangers for the first time but with regular pupdates of how Rosie was & the fact they stuck to her routine put me at ease. The fact they had a friendly dog themselves made Rosie’s stay much more fun I would definitely use this couple again.”
“We had such a great experience leaving Vader with them and honestly couldn’t have asked for better care From the start they were friendly, polite, and really easy to communicate with, which made the whole process feel stress-free. While we were away, they kept us updated with regular photos and videos, which we really appreciated, and it was so reassuring to see how happy and settled he was. It was obvious Vader was completely comfortable and having the best time (I genuinely think he would’ve happily stayed longer!!) They really embraced his personality as well, even his obsession with bringing his collection of sticks in the house lol, which made it feel like he was properly understood and cared for, not just “looked after.” When we picked him up he was absolutely exhausted, which says everything; clearly lots of walks, playtime, and attention. We wont hesitate to book with them again and would 100% recommend them to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and genuinely great with dogs”
“Lauren was absolutely amazing with Wilf, it is the first time we have left him with him only being 4 months old but he could not of been in better hands. She sent us regular updates and he had an absolute blast. Lauren is just the loveliest person and we have already booked her again for when we go on holiday, I can not recommend her enough ❤️”
“Lyudmila has been professional though out Dizzie stay with message also pictures and walks . Lyudmila listened to Dizzie when she’s needed go to the toilet also for her walks . Nothing was a problem to Lyudmila she made me so comfortable for Dizzie to stay at her lovely home . Also it’s home to home for Dizzie . I will be booking again for Dizzie at Lyudmila .”
“This was our first time leaving our dog overnight with someone other than family but Andrew put us at ease by sending updates, and everything went very smoothly. Would definitely recommend.”
“As soon as Juno, our border terrier, met Jessica at the meet and greet, it was clear that they were going to get on. She then showed no anxiety when I left her for our week away. Jessica then sent me photos and updates and I was completely reassured that she was enjoying her stay. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Jessica as she clearly loves dogs.”
About: Before coming to the UK, I was basically a mom of 7 dogs. Spending time with them is never tiring . Aren't they little angles ✨ I have flexibility since its summer and I have no school. Pet care just kinda slips into your day—like feeding your furry overlord when you wake up, going on poop patrol during walks, and brushing enough fur to make a second pet. Once a week, it’s spa day When I’m caring for pets—whether in my home or someone else’s—it’s all about creating a safe, cozy vibe they can trust. I pet-proof the space (no sneaky snacks or chewable cords!), stick to their routine so they feel secure, and shower them with affection
“We really appreciated being able to meet Connie before our 2 year old Terrier stayed with her. It was reassuring for us that she has a good understanding of terriers' quirks and personality ( and clearly enjoys them!) Our boy came home happy and relaxed from a two night stay. We also appreciated the photos she sent during his stay, particularly the ones of him smuggling up for cuddles with her....he looked so chilled out! We will certainly be asking her to take care of him again”
“Jake was an excellent sitter and so kind too. We had to find somewhere for saffy to go whilst my partner was in hospital giving birth. Jake was so good, he listened to instructions, he fed her properly, he was so flexible and he even gave us a gift to congratulate us on the birth of our son. Will definitely be using Jake again. Thanks Jake.”
“Nala had another great stay at Rebecca’s, this time for a week! There were no issues at all and communication was great. I would 100% recommend, and Nala will be visiting more often 😁”
“Cocoa had another fantastic stay with Erin and Alex. They are both so lovely and accommodating, and kept us updated with photos and updates. Cocoa had the best mini holiday. Thanks again guys :)”
“Jessica is a lovely, warm and friendly person and has an obvious love and enthusiam for dogs. Our dog Dexter had an overnight stay with Jessica when we visited Gateshead and he had a wonderful time, going for walks and making friends with Jessica's own dog. We had great communication before and during Dexter's stay. As we left Dexter was virtually hugging Jessica goodbye! I'm only sorry we live so far away as I would use Jessica on a regular basis and will do so if we visit the area again, I can't recommend her highly enough.”
“George has had an 11/10 weekend thanks to Julie and her lovely family. Gorgeous home and he’s been up to loads of activities and fun walks. He seems depressed to be home, thanks again ❤️😂”
About: I’ve grown up caring for dogs, including my own Shih Tzu, so I understand their needs and personalities deeply. I’m gentle, patient, and great with both playful pups and senior dogs. I focus on comfort, trust, and keeping each dog happy, safe, and loved—just like they deserve. I work part-time on weekends from 7 a.m. to 12 p.m., so I’m free most afternoons and weekdays to walk, play, and care for dogs. Spending time with them fits easily into my routine—it’s something I truly enjoy and look forward to every day! I treat every dog as if they were my own. In a pet owner’s home, I follow their routine carefully—feeding, walking, and playtime just as instructed. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved, keeping their space clean and cozy while giving them plenty of attention and affection.
“I left our did Buddy with Laura for seven nights due to holiday being booked.Ive never left him with anyone before,but Laura and her partner were so kind and helpful;they left videos and updates every day to reassure me he was ok.I would definitely use this service again and recommend them to others.”
“We booked our dog Lucy in with Phoebe for two nights, while we attended our daughter’s graduation. All our communications with Phoebe, ahead of the booking and over the two day stay, were excellent. She was clear, understanding and genuinely interested in getting to know our dog. She looked after our dog perfectly, and we would have no hesitation in asking her to look after Lucy again. Phoebe is a lovely, warm and friendly person. Highly recommended.”
“Yuen was absolutely amazing in taking care of Eddie and always sending lots of photos of him. I would strongly recommend her services if you’re looking to leave your dog with someone.”
“Truffles had such a great time at Avi's place! We were immediately reassured at the meet and greet, and Avi and his wife shared regular photos and updates. She settled in so well and we had no worries while we were away. Thank you :)”

“Morris is a perfect cat sitter. We left our kitten with him for 6 days and he came every day and played with him so he wasn’t lonely. He provided very detailed reports and even brought our kitten some toys. Our kitten was very happy and comfortable with him and they bonded quickly!”
“Katie was absolutely amazing, and I'll definitely be recommending her and booking her again. Her communication was excellent throughout. She provided detailed Rover cards and always kept me up to date with any changes or concerns. She took fantastic care of Cleo and made me feel completely comfortable leaving her in Katie's care. Even though Cleo is a very shy cat, Katie was patient enough to gain her trust, and within a few days she was able to pet and play with her. When Cleo managed to get out through an upstairs window, Katie handled the situation calmly and kept me updated throughout. She followed the plan we agreed to make sure Cleo could get back inside safely, and I really appreciated how reassuring and proactive she was. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Katie to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and communicative pet sitter.”

Through my studies and personal experience, I understand feline behaviour and the importance of creating a calm, safe environment for cats of different personalities and needs. I’m reliable, attentive and genuinely enjoy caring for animals.
“Emma has done drop-ins to check on my cat, Vader, several times now - Vader always looks forward to Emma's visits and is left happy, fed, watered and with a clean litter tray. She always sends picture updates so I know that she's doing okay, which is reassuring and appreciated. Vader can't wait for her next Emma visit!”

About: I am a trustworthy and reliable student who adores animals and would love to help someone out. I have plenty of experience looking after a range of animals for my neighbours. I am currently in university and have a part time job but I am not in all day everyday and can be flexible to your needs. I will always share my availability of that week with you for full clarity! Learn their personality so I don’t push boundaries they aren’t comfortable with, I aim to do this initially through communication with owners about needs, expectations etc.
“Great communication and reliability from Lettie. Felt very confident leaving Ruby knowing that Lettie was going to pop in and keep her company. Will definitely use Lettie again - returned to a happy and settled hound. Thanks Lettie!”
“Nat was great, she was very accommodating in adjusting to late changes and sent updates and pictures every day. She was very attentive to my cats requirements and did an excellent job of looking after her. ”
About: Hi! I’m a cat lover with over 5 years of hands on experience caring for cats. I’ve fostered several cats in the past and often look after my friends’ cats when they are away. I truly enjoy spending time with all kinds of kitties and thankfully they seem to love me too! I currently live with my own lovely black cat who I adopted five years ago. She is my little baby and we spend time all together which builds a strong bond between us. Because of that, I completely understand how hard it can be to leave your furry baby behind when you are away. That is why I always make sure every cat I care for feels safe, loved and relaxed. Whether your cats need cuddles, quiet companionship or just someone to keep their routine going smoothly. I’m here to help!
About: I would be a great cat sitter because I have two cats of my own, so I understand their needs, routines, and personalities. I’m experienced with feeding, litter cleaning, playtime, and making sure cats feel comfortable and safe in their environment. I know how important patience and trust are with cats, and I always take the time to let them settle and come to me in their own way. I treat every cat with care and attention, just like I do with my own, ensuring they are happy and well looked after while their owner is away.
“Colie was great with our cat Bennie and she kept us up to date with photos and information. Bennie warmed to her straight away and we loved seeing the pictures of how happy he looked! We will definitely be asking Colie to cat sit for us again! Highly recommended?”
About: What sets me apart as a cat sitter is the combination of patience, attention to detail, and experience caring for cats with different personalities and needs. I understand that every cat has its own routine, comfort level, and boundaries, so I focus on creating a calm, stress-free environment while keeping their routine as consistent as possible.

About: I have previous experience as a dog walker and cat sitter. I have grown up with multiple animals in the home and trained my family dog to pass his therapy dog exams last year. I am currently working part time so I have plenty of time to entertain your pets! I am also on a very flexible schedule so can adapt if your pets have any special requirements or if I am needed to be there for constant care. I have two cats in my own home so I am unable to house pets in my house as I don’t want to cause them or your own pet any undue stress!
About: What distinguishes me from other sitters is the level of personal care and love I provide to each creature. I treat each dog and cat as if they were my own, ensuring that they are secure, happy, and well-cared for. I'm dependable, adaptable, and take the time to understand each pet's own routine and personality. Whether it's long walks, extra fun, or simply quiet hugs, I go above and beyond to ensure that both pets and owners are entirely comfortable. As a student, I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of free time to dedicate to pet care. This means I can give your pets lots of attention throughout the day, whether it’s playtime, walks, or just making sure they feel comfortable and loved. I enjoy spending my breaks with furry friends, so caring for pets fits naturally into my daily routine. When caring for pets at my home, I make sure they are safe, comfortable, and happy. I spend plenty of time giving them attention, walks, and cuddles. For pets staying at their owner’s home, I follow their routine closely, making sure they are fed, exercised, and cared for just as they are used to. I’m happy to provide any care the owner requests, as long as I can do it safely and responsibly. I also send regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are happy and well looked after.

“Hannah looked after my 11-week-old puppy for two days, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. As it was my first time leaving such a young puppy with a dog sitter, I was a bit anxious, but Hannah put me completely at ease from the moment we met. She kept me updated throughout the day with messages and photos. It was clear that my puppy was well cared for and in safe hands the entire time. I’ve already booked with her again for a few weeks time, I would recommend to anyone looking for a dog sitter ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Laura and her husband were absolutely wonderful with Henry! Even on such short notice, they welcomed her in for the day without any hesitation. From our very first meeting, they were warm, friendly, and incredibly responsive — it really put my mind at ease leaving Henry in their care for the first time. You can tell they genuinely love what they do. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter!”

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, not just something I “look after.” I currently have my chihuahua, Bean, and my cat, Tonks, and previously owned a golden retriever, Aston, so I’m very confident with different breeds, sizes and personalities. What makes me different is my hands-on experience with horses as well as pets. I spend much of my spare time at the yard, so I’m used to responsibility, routine, and understanding animal behaviour on a deeper level. I’m confident with everything from high-energy dogs that need proper exercise to more sensitive or nervous animals that need patience and calm handling. I genuinely enjoy long countryside walks, so your dog won’t just get a quick walk , they’ll get proper time, attention and enrichment. I treat every animal like my own, making sure they feel safe, relaxed and cared for while you’re away. Flexible uni schedule = happy pets!

You can relax knowing your furry friend is in caring, experienced hands!
About: I absolutely love animals and have grown up around them - having a cat, a horse, and now two dogs (a Fox Terrier and a Jack Russell x Pug). I’m a friendly, bubbly person who is responsible and reliable, with regular experience dog sitting and walking both young and older dogs. This has helped me build confidence in handling different temperaments, sticking to routines, and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’m very comfortable with different breeds and personalities. I enjoy playing with them, going on walks, and giving them plenty of attention and cuddles. I’m also lucky to have a park right outside my house, so your pets would get lots of fresh air and exercise. As a university student, I have a flexible routine that fits really well around pet care. I’m used to planning my schedule, so I can prioritise walks, feeding times, and giving pets plenty of attention throughout the day and nights. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and it’s a great balance alongside my studies, so I’m always happy to build my routine around their needs. In my home: I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment where pets can feel comfortable and settled. I stick closely to their usual routine, including feeding times, walks, and any specific care instructions. I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and affection, always keep the owners updated, while also monitoring their pet’s behaviour to ensure they’re happy and healthy. In an owner’s home: I respect the owner’s space and follow all instructions carefully to maintain the pet’s normal routine. I ensure feeding, walks, and any medication are given on time, keep the home tidy, and I always give regular updates for peace of mind. I focus on keeping pets relaxed in their familiar environment, giving them lots of care, attention, and consistency.

“Rory (8 months old mini dachs) really enjoyed his time with Amanda and Dylan. He was always excited to see them. Amanda was welcoming, very flexible and clearly loves dogs. Rory is keen to come back for more.”
About: Both of my dogs are rescues therefore I have experience with timid dogs, who need extra love and care. Also, I have looked after my family member’s pets independently for multiple days. I’m currently working a part time job so I will have a large proportion of my time free to care for the dog. I am also home from university until September so I will be available for multiple stays if that is needed. I have a fenced garden giving your dog enough space to play. As well as two dogs, one who is very relaxed and another who is playful so your dog will have a companion at all times.

I'm confident with all kinds of dogs and am very adaptable. I work well with shy, rescue dogs or bouncy, outgoing dogs, and as a runner I'm comfortable walking energetic, active dogs. As a uni student I also have a flexible schedule and availability. I'm currently a second year uni student, meaning I have plently of time for caring for your dogs! I'm available any time on weekends and weekday afternoons and evenings (apart from Mondays). As a uni student I can't care for pets in my own home, but I'm more than happy to work in your space and abide by whatever works for your home!

“We had such a great experience leaving Vader with them and honestly couldn’t have asked for better care From the start they were friendly, polite, and really easy to communicate with, which made the whole process feel stress-free. While we were away, they kept us updated with regular photos and videos, which we really appreciated, and it was so reassuring to see how happy and settled he was. It was obvious Vader was completely comfortable and having the best time (I genuinely think he would’ve happily stayed longer!!) They really embraced his personality as well, even his obsession with bringing his collection of sticks in the house lol, which made it feel like he was properly understood and cared for, not just “looked after.” When we picked him up he was absolutely exhausted, which says everything; clearly lots of walks, playtime, and attention. We wont hesitate to book with them again and would 100% recommend them to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and genuinely great with dogs”
“Lauren was absolutely amazing with Wilf, it is the first time we have left him with him only being 4 months old but he could not of been in better hands. She sent us regular updates and he had an absolute blast. Lauren is just the loveliest person and we have already booked her again for when we go on holiday, I can not recommend her enough ❤️”
“This was our first time leaving our dog overnight with someone other than family but Andrew put us at ease by sending updates, and everything went very smoothly. Would definitely recommend.”
“As soon as Juno, our border terrier, met Jessica at the meet and greet, it was clear that they were going to get on. She then showed no anxiety when I left her for our week away. Jessica then sent me photos and updates and I was completely reassured that she was enjoying her stay. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Jessica as she clearly loves dogs.”
“We really appreciated being able to meet Connie before our 2 year old Terrier stayed with her. It was reassuring for us that she has a good understanding of terriers' quirks and personality ( and clearly enjoys them!) Our boy came home happy and relaxed from a two night stay. We also appreciated the photos she sent during his stay, particularly the ones of him smuggling up for cuddles with her....he looked so chilled out! We will certainly be asking her to take care of him again”
“Jake was an excellent sitter and so kind too. We had to find somewhere for saffy to go whilst my partner was in hospital giving birth. Jake was so good, he listened to instructions, he fed her properly, he was so flexible and he even gave us a gift to congratulate us on the birth of our son. Will definitely be using Jake again. Thanks Jake.”
“Nala had another great stay at Rebecca’s, this time for a week! There were no issues at all and communication was great. I would 100% recommend, and Nala will be visiting more often 😁”
“Cocoa had another fantastic stay with Erin and Alex. They are both so lovely and accommodating, and kept us updated with photos and updates. Cocoa had the best mini holiday. Thanks again guys :)”
“George has had an 11/10 weekend thanks to Julie and her lovely family. Gorgeous home and he’s been up to loads of activities and fun walks. He seems depressed to be home, thanks again ❤️😂”
“I left our did Buddy with Laura for seven nights due to holiday being booked.Ive never left him with anyone before,but Laura and her partner were so kind and helpful;they left videos and updates every day to reassure me he was ok.I would definitely use this service again and recommend them to others.”
“Truffles had such a great time at Avi's place! We were immediately reassured at the meet and greet, and Avi and his wife shared regular photos and updates. She settled in so well and we had no worries while we were away. Thank you :)”
About: I grew up with Dobermans and at one point we had three in the house. I love dogs and regularly look after my friends pets both sitting and walking. Had experience of dog training, both small and bigs breads, from a border terrier to a German shepherd. Happy to go on adventurous walks, or a walk round the block and open my home up for sitting too. I work full time but have every other Friday off and can work flexibly from home for 2 days a week. I am more available at weekends however can adjust my work from home days to sit around the weekend for longer sitting opportunities. Dog walking can be before work, after work or during a lunch time on a WFH day and weekends any time. I have no pets of my own just yet. I have a garden at my home, 3 bed house with plenty of space and space downstairs for dog beds, crates or whatever is required. I am super respectful and will always follow the dog owners wishes for caring for their dog.
“We were visiting the area from down South for a wedding and arranged the stay well in advance. Gabe was very helpful and communicative throughout. Our 8 month old puppy had a wonderful time and got all the exercise, enrichment, attention and space she needed. She got on well with Gabe's lovely dog, Lyra. Gabe sent us updates and photos and we had complete peace of mind about Zelda staying there. 100% recommend!”
“Dillon was on only his second ever sleepover, his first since the pandemic and his first with Ros and Charles. At only 2 yrs old he was understandably anxious but very excited. Ros & Charles were very understanding and accommodating, helping Dillon overcome his separation anxiety and settle in. They clearly enjoyed having Dillon stay and despite the inclement weather he enjoyed a couple of walks in the beautiful srroundings. The change of surroundings did upset his meal routine and he didn't eat a lot, but he was quickly back to normal when he returned home, and I'm sure that on a longer stay this would not be a problem. Dillon is returning for a full weeks holiday in March and we feel very reassured that he will be in safe and very welcoming hands.”
