“James was fantastic with Buddy and made him welcome in his home and like one of the family. Communication throughout was excellent and we felt reassured Buddy was in good hands. Definitely would recommend”
“Dodger had a lovely stay with Jackie! Jackie was caring, very attentive and her own dog Oreo was the perfect host. Lovely lady! Dodger was a very happy pooch so would definitely book again!”
“Absolutely wonderful experience! ❤️ Teddy was so well looked after and clearly felt completely at home. I received regular photos and updates throughout the week, which was so reassuring that I genuinely didn't worry about him at all. They were incredibly kind, caring and attentive, and I could see how happy and relaxed Teddy was with them. I think he had such a lovely holiday of his own that he wasn't particularly keen to come home! 😂 I couldn't have asked for better people to look after him and would happily leave Teddy with them again. Highly recommend! ❤️”
“It's always a pleasure to book with Zoe. Very easy & straightforward process. We always get lots of photos & videos to show how our little darling is getting on. Kobi very much likes staying with Zoe.”
“Minnie had a wonderful time with Kay. We felt at ease instantly, as Kay was so thorough when asking about Minnie’s needs and showed her lots of love from the get go. She has an amazing garden which Minnie wasted no time in enjoying! Kay sent lots of updates with photos and videos to put our mind at ease too which was fab. We would recommend to anyone who would like a kind, loving home away from home for their pup, we will certainly be using Kay again.”
“Vicky and Michael were very helpful and friendly to us and our dog Bolo took to them immediately They gave us great updates and photos of Bolo loving playing fetch on the nearby beach I would not hesitate in leaving Bolo with them in the future They have a secure outdoor area which was a bonus and I could tell they loved dogs”
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’m a dedicated pet lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages and personalities. I have owned 3 dogs in my lifetime so far which has given me a deep understanding of daily care, routines, and the importance of trust and consistency. I’ve also spent a lot of time working alongside a close friend who runs a very successful dog care business. Watching her passion, professionalism, and genuine love for what she does inspired me to start my own journey in pet care. I treat every dog as if they were my own, with patience, attention, and plenty of love. I am looking for dogs who will match my dogs energy, I own an Airedale Terrier named Ida who is 1 year and 7 months old, she has two walks a day, is VERY playful and LOVES other dog! Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. I run a small business from home, which gives me plenty of flexibility and time to dedicate to the dogs in my care. I already walk my own dog every day, twice a day and they love having company, so welcoming other dogs into our routine felt like a natural and brilliant fit. It allows me to give every dog the time, attention and companionship they deserve without rushing or juggling busy schedules. I care for pets either in my own home or in their own familiar environment, depending on what works best for them and their owners. I always follow each pet’s individual routine closely, including feeding, walks, playtime and rest. I treat every home with complete respect and care, making sure everything is left exactly as I found it. My approach is calm, patient and attentive, and I take the time to build a trusting relationship with each pet so they feel safe, comfortable and well cared for at all times.
“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”

“Amy was fantastic! She was very communicative throughout, sending us updates and photos, and was wonderful with Iggy and Jiji. The cats were clearly comfortable with her, and we felt totally at ease knowing they were in such good hands. Highly recommend!”
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.

“Natassha was superb from the get go! She took meticulous care when gathering our cats needs, sent us lots of updates and pictures whilst we were away.

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.
“Sally was brilliant. She helped me out over Christmas and visited Olive everyday - always keeping me informed of her wellbeing with photos and messages. Thank you again Sally for all your help! ☺️”
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.
“Gheorghe took great care of our three cats. He bonded very well with our youngest cat & kept us updated with pictures. He was also very accommodating with any requests we had & would highly recommend his service 👌”
About: Every since I've been young family and friends have always had cats and I've always been around them. I love going to cat cafes and my friends cats always sit on my lap and fall asleep whilst I stroke them
About: We commit ourselves to offering the best care possible for your cats by creating a comforting and clean environment.

We are qualified in administering medications and will happily follow any schedule the cats require for their health needs. We always ensure the cats have a pristine environment, especially the litter box which is cleaned at least twice a day.
About: I've worked with cats of all shapes and sizes being a registered veterinary nurse, so providing them with their daily needs is extremely important to me. I have 2 cats of my own, and spend many hours rotating between cuddles and hyper play with toys. I can administer any and all medications needed, and provide daily enrichment
“***Superstars*** Really can’t thank Jane and Lee enough for house sitting for us and looking after our two cats. We have come home to our house being cleaner than when we left and our two cats happy and stress free! - we had regular picture updates of our cats and lines of communication if we needed it. Highly recommended! (Lee even fixed our hoover which broke just before we left)”

About: My experience with dogs started when I was born. The family dog was one year old so I have grown up with dogs which installed a deep and meaningful bond with dogs. I have fostered many rescues from the UK and Romania, as well as adopting. I love all dogs and care for them as if they were my own and have owned and have experience with puppies, reactive dogs and seniors so have experience with a wide variety of different breeds and ages. I currently work part time from home, so will have plenty of time to play with your dogs, walk them and look after any of their needs from brushing to tear stains and feeding and/or medication. I will still be able to take your dog all day as I can work around their needs. I have a 6ft fenced garden and 3 friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company if they want. Dogs have free roam of the house and garden and are welcome to sit on the sofas or beds, but am also able to provide crates/beds if needed for your pet. I am a short drive away from Marske beach and a wonderful wood so your dog will get a nice variety of walks twice a day depending on time spent at my home. Water bowls are placed in every room so they will have plenty of access to water at all times and will never be left more than 3 hours at a time if boarding overnight. At weekends our dogs are our passion so all days out are worked around dog friendly walks and cafes/pubs if needed. Your baby will also be able to enjoy weekend adventures if you would be happy for us to take them along.
“Kay and her husband were fantastic… Norman had all the loving today whilst I was at work, I received a picture and video of his day. As expected I got the cold shoulder from Norman on the way home, but I can tell he enjoyed the day with them. I will most definitely be back again and I’m sure Norman will look forward to it to! Thank you Kay ❤️”
“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 love dogs and have 4 years of experience caring for my Cockapoo, as well as 1 year of experience looking after a friend’s puppy. I also work in a charity that helps dogs, which has given me even more experience and a strong understanding of how important it is to provide dogs with kindness, patience and care. I enjoy spending time with dogs and keeping them happy and active. I can play fetch with them indoors or in the garden, take them for walks on a lead, brush their coats, and clean their paws after walks or when they’ve been outside. I’m also happy to clean them up after they’ve done their business. I’m a caring, responsible and patient person, and I will treat every dog as if they were my own. I want every dog in my care to feel safe, comfortable, loved and well looked after. 🐶❤️ I’m currently working from home and I will walk my dog at 10 am on weekdays. If I have work to do offline such as at schools or store, I will walk him at 7 am. I have plenty of time for afternoon or evening when I finish work or have a break from work to look after pets who need toilet breaks or feeding. I have a fenced garden in a semi-detached house and a park within 5 minutes walk from the house. I love walking dogs in the park and playing balls with them for a bit. I also like playing hide and seek games with them in the house and let them use their energy for a bit after their treats and naps.
About: Hi! 👋 I love dogs, having trained 3 of my own and helped family and friends train theirs. I know how hard it is to leave your dog with someone else, hoping they will have a good time. 🥺 I got my start volunteering with a family friend who rehabilitated dogs. I specialise in looking after small to medium dogs. I enjoy stick/ball throwing. And have previous experience watching other people’s dogs. I have a medium-sized fenced garden with a big lawn perfect for zoomies! 🐕💨🍃 I would love to provide a comforting, safe and gentle presence for your fluffy baby when you are away, looking after them like they’re one of my own ❤️ 🐾🐕🤗 I have experience with flat faced breeds (such as pugs & frenchies). As well as experience with senior dogs, and dogs that need medications and special diets. I have experience administering vet prescribed medications as pills, powders and using oral syringes. I have house-trained multiple dogs, and raised puppies so am happy to work with dogs that need puppy pads. 💦 I have supported dogs with cancer who need gentle & responsive care. ❤️🩹 Please let me know your doggy’s support needs including any behavioural quirks as I do have 2 very friendly and chill doggies who will be in the house. I work from home and can give your doggy lots of snuggles and attention. We also have plenty of toys for them to play with. My schedule is fairly flexible provided I get advanced notice.

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 on weekends. I can organise longer stays/visits upon request. For clients 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. In my home, dogs have 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 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.
“Amy was absolutely amazing with our 8-month-old Golden Retriever, Albert! I reached out only a few days before we needed daycare, and Amy replied immediately and was happy to help. Since I wasn’t sure how Albert would react to new people and other dogs, we even arranged a quick meet-and-greet beforehand, which made me feel really comfortable and reassured. Amy was reliable, flexible, and incredibly easy to communicate with throughout the entire process. She kept me updated during the day with messages and photos, which I really appreciated. Even though Albert is still a puppy and not fully trained yet, she was very patient and welcoming. Her dog Jasper is lovely as well, and the two dogs got along perfectly. It was also really nice to see how much care and attention Albert received during his stay — Amy even took him on a long walk, which he clearly enjoyed a lot. Amy is super friendly, open, and genuinely caring. I would trust her with Albert again anytime and will definitely book with her again.”
About: I’ve been around animals all my life, growing up with family pets - from frogs to dogs! When I left home and my family dog of 7 years, I knew I needed a furry companion, so along came Crumpet! My 2 year old Golden Retriever. Crumpet has been with me from being 12 weeks old so I am very familiar and confident with caring for young animals. My dog is my baby so I fully understand how much people love their pets—because I feel the same way about mine. My dog is truly part of my family, and that’s why I treat every pet I care for with the same love, attention, and respect I give my own I’m a full-time teacher who’s passionate about pets and available to care for yours during evenings, weekends, and school holidays. When I’m not in the classroom, I’m dedicated to giving your furry friends the love and attention they deserve When caring for someone else’s pet, I treat them as if they were my own—with love, patience, and attention to their unique needs and routines. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, walks, or quiet companionship, I make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved while their family is away
“My pup Beni really enjoyed his day. This was his first day without immediate family around. Sitter, Frances, advised he was a good boy. Enjoyed playing in their home and was comfortable with her. Will continue to use as Beni likes her. Hoping to have a sleep over soon. Thanks again.”
About: 🐾 A Home Away From Home for Your Best Friend! 🐾 Hi! I'm a lifelong dog lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of every age, breed, and personality. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, so I understand that every pup is unique and deserves plenty of love, patience, and individual attention. From energetic puppies learning the ropes to gentle senior dogs needing a little extra care, I'm experienced with it all. I've helped with puppy training, supported older dogs with arthritis and mobility issues, and cared for every stage in between. Whether your dog is full of zoomies or prefers a slower pace, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy during their stay. I've looked after dogs of all shapes and sizes—from tiny Jack Russells right up to gentle giants like Dogues de Bordeaux—so no matter how big or small your four-legged family member is, they'll be welcomed with open arms. Your dog will have plenty of room to make themselves at home in our spacious house, with lots of cosy spots to relax, nap, or simply potter about. Outside, we have a large, secure garden where they can stretch their legs, play, sniff, and soak up the fresh air. We're also surrounded by beautiful countryside, making it the perfect place for exciting adventures, leisurely strolls, and plenty of sniff-filled walkies. Sharing our home is our lovely spayed female Golden Retriever, who absolutely adores other dogs. She's friendly, gentle, and always happy to make new friends—whether that's a game of chase in the garden or simply lounging together after a long walk. I know how important it is to leave your dog with someone you trust, and I'll care for them as if they were one of my own. Whether they're staying for a day, a weekend, or a longer holiday, you can relax knowing they'll receive lots of love, attention, playtime, cuddles (if they enjoy them!), and updates so you can see what they've been getting up to. I can't wait to meet you and your furry friend! I work from home full-time, so caring for dogs fits naturally into my daily routine. My schedule already revolves around my own Golden Retriever, meaning your dog will always have company, attention, and plenty of opportunities for exercise and relaxation throughout the day. Our mornings start with breakfast (our Goldie would never let us forget it!), followed by a long walk through the beautiful nearby woods and countryside. If anyone comes home a little muddy after their adventure, they're more than welcome to enjoy a quick rinse before settling in. While I work, the dogs can relax wherever they're most comfortable, with free access to our spacious, secure garden whenever they fancy a sniff or a potter outside. I take regular breaks throughout the day for playtime, cuddles, toilet breaks, and, of course, the occasional well-earned treat! In the afternoon, we head out for another walk before winding down for the evening. Whether your dog loves exploring, playing, snoozing, or simply being close to people, they'll enjoy a relaxed, home-from-home environment with lots of love, attention, and companionship. Your dog's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. We have a large, fully secure garden with high fencing, giving dogs plenty of space to run, play, explore, or simply relax in the fresh air whenever they like. I also make sure that any plants within their reach are dog-safe, so you can have complete peace of mind. Sharing our home is our friendly, spayed Golden Retriever, who absolutely loves the company of other dogs. Whether it's a game of zoomies around the garden, exploring together on walks, or curling up for a well-earned nap, she's always delighted to welcome a new furry friend. Inside, our home is spacious, calm, and relaxed, and dogs can settle in wherever they feel most comfortable. Whether your dog is playful and energetic or prefers a peaceful snooze after a walk, they'll have plenty of space to feel safe, loved, and right at home.
About: I grew up with pets and own 2 golden retrievers who I adore! they’re the most friendly dogs I have ever met in my life, I wfh and have the flexibility for play time, toilet breaks, multiple walks a day and have lots of love to give. I’m an easy going person and very honest. I understand the struggles of not being able to go on holiday or not trust someone to have my pet, or kennels not accepting not neutered/unspayed/in season pets as as such I am here to make a difference, regardless. Happy to have you check my home and garden, and meet in public too ☺️ I work from home and have a dog, I’m very happy to accommodate other pets if that helps their owners. I will accept over night care too if needed Pets have no restrictions in my home, should they wish to sleep on any bed or sofa they will be able to ☺️They will have access to a fenced and secure garden and lots of love and cuddles
“Catherine was wonderful with Biscuit and Oreo, taking them out for a wonderful walk along the cliff tops. She also gave us some helpful dog tips for the local area as we were visiting for the weekend.”
“★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Thank you so much for looking after Odie! We were down for a wedding and it was so nice to not have to worry about the dog for the day. Was also lovely to have frequent photos and updates. Would definitely recommend. :-)”

“Vicky sat for Bonnie for us for the first time today. She took Bonnie for a walk and gave her her tea. We loved the updates and photos and Bonnie clearly enjoyed her time with Vicky. It gave us peace of mind knowing Bonnie had some company; we knew we didn’t need to worry about her. We won’t hesitate to book Vicky again - a lovely lady, very friendly and clearly loves dogs. Bonnie sat on her foot five minutes after she met her. That’s definite acceptance in Border Terrier language!”
“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! :)”

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: Myself and my partner Timmy, have both taken care of several dogs over the past three years, all of different breeds. This has involved walking, feeding and boarding. We absolutely love animals, the outdoors and going for walks. We are both very active. We currently live in Prestwich but like exploring new walks. We both own a car and can drive to take your dog further afield to a more secluded place if needed.😌 I am currently a primary school teacher full time and live in the North East. Myself and Timmy are both available after work, most evenings from 4:30 onwards and free on weekends for long walks/ boarding. We have a large garden that is fenced and gated at the front with both patio and grass. There are no other pets or children in my home. It is also a smoke free house.
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.
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 experience with everything from daily care routines and special dietary needs to administering medications. I’ll care for your pets with love and attention, just as if they were my own, and make sure they get plenty of engaging playtime. I work from home, so I’m available for drop-in visits/walks in the morning, at lunch, or in the afternoon/evening. I’m even more flexible with timing on weekends. Please don't hesitate in contacting me. I will treat your home with upmost respect, – I’m naturally clean and tidy! I’ll make sure to stay out of any rooms or areas you’d prefer to keep private. If needed, I’ll clean litter trays, sweep and tidy up any little messes, and keep food bowls clean. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos if you’d like. I live in a three-bedroom house, which has a decent garden that is high and has a secure gate. That can accommodate your pet. Currently, we have two cats at home now, Floki (4 years) and Moshi (3 years) so we (me and my fiancée ) can look after other cats or some small dogs that are cat-friendly.
About: With 21 years of hands-on pet care experience, I offer calm, home-style boarding and sitting. I’m experienced with energetic dogs, anxious pets and seniors, and I stick closely to your instructions and routine. Safety comes first: secure doors/gates, lead rules, and careful supervision. I can support basic training habits (sit, stay, lead manners) and I’m happy to send frequent updates so you feel confident while you’re away. I work remotely, so I’m at home most of the day and can give pets plenty of attention, comfort and supervision. This means I can stick closely to your pet’s routine for feeding, toilet breaks, play and rest. I’m flexible with drop-off and pick-up times (with notice), and I’m available for weekday and weekend bookings depending on dates. Because I work from home, pets are not left alone for long periods and are supervised throughout the day. I keep a calm, safe home environment and follow your instructions closely (feeding routine, walking preferences, medication, and house rules). I’m careful with doors and safety checks, and I’m happy to send regular updates and photos so you feel reassured while you’re away.
About: I have had pets for many years and love being in and around them. Always makes me smile. I am reliable and a good communicator. I have flexible work arrangements, so can discuss your needs and what you require for your pet care requirements. Any queries feel free to ask I have a safe secure home, with a garden and am willing to travel to pet owners homes. Happy to discuss any requirements the customer may have
About: I've looked after my sister's large dog since she was a puppy, fed her and took her out for walks and minded her when my sister went away. I love when my friends bring their dogs when we go for walks so I can give them lots of attention and cuddles. When out in public I always stroke dogs with permission and talk to them Currently I have more free time than usual and I am available during the week and weekend for hourly/ daily visits and for overnight stays. I live in Hartlepool so I'd be willing to do drop in visits and walks for anyone living within 10 miles of me and I would stay in your home up to 35-40 miles away from where I live. But please ask as I might be able to make exceptions I can do walks/stays after 17:30 in the teesside area and potentially could do a drop in visit during the day depending on where you live I'd care for the pets in the owners home and follow the instructions they gave me about keeping their pets safe, hopefully this would make life easier for the owner
About: I've taken care of dogs of all kinds, growing up with large breeds from being a young age has made me confident with dogs of all temperaments and backgrounds. Being a registered veterinary nurse, I have worked with dogs of all life stages and can provide the essential care they need tailored to them. I work weekdays, but can provide late night check ins for short walks or feeding. I am also available for weekend visits at all times to provide any and all daily requirements I always ensure pets are kept safe, making sure they are kept in a fenced area away from other dogs and people. When on walks they stay close to my side and away from any roads
