“This was Ollie’s second (and longest) stay with Csilla. Ollie is an anxious rescue dog and was immediately comfortable with Csilla. I was so grateful for the photos and updates, and how much Csilla fell in love with him. On pick up the feeling was obviously mutual and he would have been quite happy to stay! I highly recommend Csilla as a boarder and will definitely be booking again.”
“Adele is amazing!! This was Stanley’s first time away from home looked after by someone other than a family member so we were all understandingly nervous! Adele welcomed Stanley into her home like one of her own! He was cuddles and kissed, walked and stroked - he didn’t even want to come home! She kept us up to date with pictures and videos to put us at ease and it was clear Stanley was enjoying his holiday too! We would definitely book Stanley in with Adele again and recommended her 100%”

I was sent pics and vids throughout his stay for the night, and by the looks of it, all 3 of them had the best time, it made me jealous! 😂 Kat and her husband are some of the kindest people I’ve had the pleasure of dealing with for dog boarding and will 10000% be using them in the future. Thank you again!! ☺️”
About: Hi I love playing with cats and dogs and have cared for friends and family members pets. I am an ex teacher who is reliable, responsible and trustworthy.

I have no other pets and a lovely fenced garden that is secure. I do not mind allowing your pet full access to my home and is allowed to sit in furniture.
About: I have over twenty years of experience in the pet industry and I now work from home on a freelance basis, collaborating with vets, behaviourists and other pet professionals on a regular basis. I offer a calm and quiet child and pet free home with one dog at a time, or two dogs from the same household when suitable, so each dog can settle, relax and receive individual care and attention. Dogs settle quickly here because the home is calm, quiet and designed around their comfort. With one dog at a time, or two from the same household, they never have to compete for space, attention or reassurance. They get a peaceful environment, predictable routines and someone who understands stress signals, confidence building and gentle enrichment. Most dogs enjoy the relaxed coastal walks, the cosy resting spots around the home and the steady rhythm of the day. They can nap on the sofa, stay close by while I work from home, or explore the garden at their own pace. I follow their usual routines and keep everything low noise and low pressure so they feel safe, understood and fully relaxed. Dogs love staying here because it feels like a calm home, not a busy boarding environment, and they receive individual care from someone who has spent years working with vets, behaviourists and pet professionals. Please message me with any questions you may have. I work from home in the pet industry and collaborate with vets, behaviourists and other pet professionals, so I am here throughout the day. This means your dog has company, supervision and a calm routine.

My focus is on creating a predictable and peaceful stay where your dog feels secure and understood. I provide a calm and quiet home designed for dogs who benefit from a peaceful environment. Only one dog stays at a time, which removes noise, competition and overstimulation. My home has safe resting areas, controlled access to rooms and a steady atmosphere that helps dogs settle quickly. I work from home in the pet industry and stay connected with vets, behaviourists and other professionals, which helps me understand each dog’s needs and follow the owner’s guidance with care.

“Oscar looked after my two cats (18 months and 6 months old) whilst i was away on holiday dropping in twice a day. He followed instructions perfectly and wasn’t phased by one of them being a little litter tray sensitive. He updated me with pictures and videos which gave peace of mind and both of my babies were in great spirits when I returned. Would absolutely book again!”
“This was my first experience with Cat in a Flat, and I was very hopeful that Spot would have a much less stressful time staying in her own environment than the usual cattery. I arranged to meet Amy beforehand, because who leaves their pet in the hands of a stranger. She's totally lovely, obviously an animal lover and Spot took to her straight away. She asked all the right questions and made sure she had all the information she needed in order to do the best job possible. Why I was away she sent me photos and updates, and when I returned it was like she'd never been there and Spot was totally chilled, whereas usually she'd be quite unsettled after a stay at the cattery and the journey home. Amy will be looking after Spot again at the end of the month for a week, and I am 100% confident that Spot will be taken excellent care of and I won't spend a week worrying about if she's OK in the cattery. I could not recommend Amy enough!”
“I can't recommend highly enough - If I could give 6 stars, I would! Fiona looked after Harry, my Ginger Tom cat at very short notice due to unforseen circumstances in his arranged care while we were on holiday. Fiona was exceptional, a meet and greet was arranged promptly and Harry warmed to Fiona immediately. He couldn't have been in better hands while we were away, we looked forward to the daily videos and photos (some of the best photos taken of him) Usually an outdoor cat, Harry unfortunately came off worse in a scrap with a neighbourhood cat, following antibiotics and steroids, the wound was still healing and we were advised by our vet to keep him indoors and continue to leave a buster collar on to avoid him scratching the area - Fiona made sure the collars were changed regularly for fresh ones and updated us on the wound. Fiona made sure Harry's mind was occupied, bringing a feather wand and catnip toy box which he loved. Videos show him waiting to greet Fiona at the door with excited chirps and waiting eagerly to be let into the living room which Fiona renamed to the 'play room'. We arrived back to the house looking as we left it and smelling fresh - full litter change, new buster collar on, benches/sink clean and bin changed but most importantly a happy cat! I would book Fiona again in a heartbeat, we're extremely grateful for the care to Harry and our home. Massive thanks!”
“Anna has been a super sitter for us and our two cats. Kept us updated with messages and pictures to help us know everything was great back home. We highly recommend if you need a sitter. Thanks again Anna, you're an absolute star!”
“Lydia was so great at communicating and sending photos and also went the extra mile to do us a favour while we were away and pick up a parcel that had been delivered. We were super grateful, thank you! ”
“We have been using Julie to look after our cat for many years now. She is very reliable and will go out of her way to accommodate us if we have a last minute trip. Thank you!”
About: I have grown up with cats all mine live I have had 2 tabby males and 4 tuxedo females all with there own personalities and quirks I have rescued and rehomed cats that have been abandoned on the streets or just not wanted and I took them In without a second thought.
“Amela is very reliable and gives great updates on my cat when I am away. Also has lots of common sense, when something didn't work the way she expected it to she immediately contacted me. I have no reservations to recommend her on her reliability and common sense attitude.”
“Tasha was great with our cats having so much experience with her own we felt like our two would be right at home with her and we were right :) It was a last minute booking we needed but she made time to visit us the day before to meet our cats and go over their needs (as fitz especially is a weird one and bee hasn’t been dealing with the heat too well) She sent the most photos we’ve ever gotten from a cat sitter which really put our minds at ease. Thank you so much!”
About: I’ve grown up around cats my whole life and have experience with all kinds of personalities, from playful and affectionate to shy and independent. Even ones that have never had human contact. I’ll treat your cat like my own, giving them plenty of care, attention and cuddles while respecting their individual routine and needs. 🐱🐾
About: Hi, I’m a dedicated and compassionate cat sitter who truly understands that every cat has a unique personality and routine. Whether your cat is playful and energetic or reserved, I take the time to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. With a strong sense of responsibility and attention to detail, I follow feeding schedules carefully, keep litter boxes fresh, and make sure your cat gets the right balance of playtime, enrichment, and quiet companionship. I’m patient with shy cats, attentive to seniors, and happy to keep you updated with regular messages and photos for peace of mind. For me, cat sitting isn’t just a job — it’s about building trust with both pets and their owners. Your cat’s well-being, happiness, and comfort are always my top priority. 🐾
About: I have my own cat call Leo! Through this, I am used to taking care of cats. I have taken care of friends cats with various temperaments and needs. Such as specific diets, routines or medicine administration. I am aware of the importance of proper stimulation and play, if appropriate.
About: I've taken care of cats from a very young age. I currently have 2 young cats, 1 is still a kitten who was semi-feral when first adopted. Now she is very playful and affectionate, as is my other cat who is 1 year old. They are both house cats, but love to play out in our secured back garden. I used to work in a veterinary practice so have experience of all types of cats, from nervous to feral. All of the cats I have owned have been rescues.
About: I’ve loved and cared for cats for as long as I can remember! Currently, I’m the proud owner of Dolly, a energetic 4-year-old Bengal. Caring for a high-energy breed has given me plenty of hands-on experience with play, routine, and attentive care. Friends and family have always relied on me to pop in, feed, play with, and comfort their cats while they’re away. I’ll treat your cat with the exact same love and attention I give my own!

“Can't thank Lauren enough, very thorough and clearly loves dogs. Met prior to go through any questions and to meet Fable, she asked all the right questions and made sure I was aware of the plans regarding walks (where, when on lead/long line). Her home is clean, tidy and smelled amazing. She put me at ease about leaving my pup. Updates/photos were sent throughout the day. Will definitely be booking again, and would 100% recommend! 🐾”

About: I have taken care of my own dogs since was able to walk, I take my own dogs into daily and always love the company. Walking is my safe space and dogs are too which is why this job is so well fitted for me I look after my own dogs daily so it’s routine for me. Normally I go to gym early then walk the dogs before lunch and at tea time. I leave close to the sea so a beach trip is manditory! I have a fenced garden with one friendly cocker spaniel at home, she loves running and especially the. beach and playing on a field, I’m always happy to bring her along with me!
About: I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision because I’m exactly the same with my own dog, Roo. She’s my daughter, and I would only ever leave her with someone I completely trust. That’s the standard of care I strive to provide for every pet I look after. As a professional dog walker, I hold a Level 3 qualification in Canine Behaviour and a Level 4 qualification in Canine First Aid. Combined with my hands-on experience professionally working with dogs since the age of 14, these qualifications allow me to understand canine body language, recognise signs of stress or illness, and provide safe, enriching care tailored to each dog’s individual needs. Whether I’m taking your dog for a walk, pet sitting during the day, or providing overnight care in your own home, I’ll treat them with the same love, patience and respect that I give Roo. I’ll take the time to learn their routine, personality and preferences so they feel safe, comfortable and happy while you’re away. I know how important peace of mind is, so I’ll keep you updated with regular messages and photos throughout my time with your pet. My priority is always their safety, wellbeing and happiness, giving you confidence that they’re in caring, knowledgeable and professional hands. Pet care is my full-time focus, so I plan my days around the pets I look after. This allows me to provide reliable walks, pet sitting and overnight stays without rushing, ensuring every dog receives the time, attention and enrichment they deserve. My own rescue dog, Roo, is at the heart of my daily routine, so I understand how important consistency, exercise and companionship are. I carefully organise my schedule to meet each pet’s individual needs, whether that’s sticking to their usual walking routine, feeding times, play sessions or simply providing company and reassurance while you’re away. I believe every pet deserves patient, attentive care, and I treat every dog as if they were a member of my own family. Your pet’s safety, comfort and happiness will always be my priority. I take the time to get to know every dog as an individual, understanding their routine, personality, likes, dislikes and any medical or dietary requirements, including allergies. As a professional dog walker with a Level 3 qualification in Canine Behaviour and a Level 4 qualification in Canine First Aid, I’m trained to recognise canine body language and behaviour. This allows me to assess how a dog is feeling and adapt my approach to ensure they remain relaxed, comfortable and happy throughout their time in my care. I’m experienced with crate training and understand that some dogs benefit from having a safe, familiar space to relax. I can also provide quiet, calming areas where dogs can choose to rest away from other animals if they need time to themselves. Every dog is different, and I always respect their individual needs and boundaries. I have a secure, fenced garden for safe outdoor time and share my home with my rescue dog, Roo, and my two cats. However, I appreciate that not every dog is comfortable around other animals. If your dog is nervous or prefers their own space, I can cater to their individual needs and carefully manage their environment to help them feel safe and secure. I know how much our pets mean to us because I feel exactly the same about Roo. She’s a member of my family, and I provide every dog in my care with the same patience, kindness, respect and attention that I would want for my own pet. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind, knowing your companion is in safe, experienced and caring hands.

At home we play stimuli games and I have dog puzzles too. I have a daughter who is in school but loves dogs too and already has a great understanding. She has been around dogs her entire life as I dog sit, board and walk dogs for friends and family. The health and happiness of the dog is priority and I make sure they’re kept to the best standards.

About: I have been pet sitting for almost 2 years and it has been something I fall in love with every day. I care with all the love and affection and meet each pet’s needs. I have plenty of time with your puppies. I’m just managing my kids school time which takes about 30 minutes for dropping them off and pick them up but if you dog can’t be left alone I can definitely take it with me without any problem. I have a fenced big garden so your puppy will be very safe here with a big place to play. They are allowed to go to my bed if they feel safer in that way.
About: Every dog and cat needs their own level of individualized care. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all sitting—each animal has their own routine, personality, and needs, and I make sure those are respected and followed closely. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages, from energetic puppies and kittens to senior dogs and cats who may need extra patience, medication, or mobility support. For younger pets, I can reinforce basic training and good habits like leash manners, crate comfort, potty routines, and calm behavior. For seniors, I provide gentle care, close monitoring, and a calm environment so they feel safe and supported. I also pride myself on being reliable, observant, and communicative. I pay attention to subtle changes in behavior or health, keep pet parents updated with photos and notes, and treat every home and pet as if they were my own. My goal isn’t just to “watch” your pet—it’s to make sure they feel happy, secure, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. I'm currently working full time as a dog walker and I absolutely love the job. It suits me perfectly and it keeps me and the dogs fit as well 😀 I care for pets like they’re part of the family—whether they’re in my home or yours 🐾💛. Here’s how I make sure they’re happy, safe, and comfortable in either setting: Respecting your routine I follow your instructions closely—feeding times, walking routes, training rules, and house guidelines. Comfort in familiar surroundings Keeping their normal environment, toys, and sleeping spots just the way they like. Daily care & enrichment Meals, walks, playtime, litter box or yard cleanup, meds if needed, and lots of affection.
About: I have been surrounded by and caring for animals my entire life. From a young age, I have had the pleasure of living with and looking after a diverse range of pets, including dogs, cats, horses, and parrots, to name just a few. This lifelong experience has provided me with a deep understanding of the unique needs and personalities of various animal companions. Currently based on the Fish Quay, I share my home with my own beloved snow bengal cat, Dolly. This personal experience as a pet owner further reinforces my commitment to providing compassionate, responsible, and attentive care to all animals. I am dedicated to ensuring the well-being and comfort of your pets while you are away. I am available at anytime and usually on the day for your pet sitting needs. Reach out to me and I can try my best to fit into your routine. As I currently offer pet sitting services exclusively in your pet's own home, my care is entirely focused on maintaining their routine and ensuring their comfort and well-being within their familiar environment.

About: Hi! I’m Martha, and I’ve been around dogs for as long as I can remember. I’ve grown up with both big and small dogs, so I’m comfortable caring for all breeds, sizes, and personalities. Dogs have always been such a big part of my life, and I genuinely love spending time with them. Whether it’s going on long walks, playing, giving lots of fuss and cuddles, or simply keeping them company, I’ll make sure your dog feels happy, loved, and cared for while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I’ll always treat your dog like they’re my own and follow their usual routine to help them feel as comfortable as possible. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind, knowing your furry friend is in safe, caring hands. I can’t wait to meet you and your dog! I currently work part-time and work am shifts. I work from 2am - 8am and I get home before my partner leaves so there is always someone in the flat and I get the rest of the day! We will have at least 2 long walks per day and live next to a big field where we go and chuck the ball on too. I have a big field next to my building to let the dogs run round and chase a ball, and also a long walks down by a nice river next to us which is perfect for the pooches! I have one small male dog who is the most comfortable and friendly dog! He has never had any incidents with other dogs and is super friendly and playful to other dogs. He knows to keep a distance from not so confident dogs and is very well trained!

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by animals, including dogs, cats and other pets, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routines and little quirks. Whether it’s a playful dog who needs plenty of enrichment, a nervous pet who needs patience and reassurance, or a cat who prefers calm and consistency, I take the time to understand what makes each animal feel comfortable and safe. I’m attentive to the small details — changes in behaviour, body language, preferences and routines — because I believe great pet care is about more than the basics. It’s about creating trust and making sure your pet feels happy and cared for while you’re away. I’d love to welcome your dog or cat into a calm, caring environment where they receive the attention and respect they deserve. I work from home, which allows me to build pet care naturally into my daily routine and provide regular attention throughout the day. My days already include structure, including daily walks and time dedicated to being active and outdoors, so caring for a pet fits naturally alongside my existing routine. I enjoy creating a calm and consistent environment where pets can feel comfortable and settled. When caring for pets alongside my own cats, I prioritise their comfort and safety. I would provide separate spaces where needed, allowing each pet to have their own area, routine and time to relax. For example, visiting cats would have their own dedicated space while they settle in, with individual time spent with them throughout the day, while my own cats have their familiar areas. For dogs, I would take a similar approach by managing introductions carefully and making sure each pet has the space and attention they need. I believe pets are happiest when they feel secure, respected and able to adjust at their own pace. My goal is to make pet care feel like a natural part of my day while ensuring every animal receives personalised attention, routine and companionship. My priority is creating a safe, calm and comfortable environment where every pet feels secure. My home has a fully fenced garden, providing a safe outdoor space for pets to enjoy fresh air and supervised time outside. I always prioritise safety, including being mindful of each pet’s behaviour, needs and comfort levels. As I have my own cats, I take introductions and boundaries seriously. I would provide separate spaces where needed, allowing each pet time to settle and feel secure in their own environment. Any interactions between pets would always be carefully considered, gradual and supervised, based on the individual temperament of each animal. I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, respected and understood. By maintaining clear routines, providing individual attention and adapting care to each animal’s personality, I aim to create a positive and stress-free experience while they are in my care.
About: I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years. Available Monday to Sunday every week, I have two cats at home which get along with other animals and could be two potential new friends to your pet. I have a fenced backyard for your pet to play in, multiple animal beds and sofas for relaxation time and live next to plenty of open fields and nature trails for adventurous walks with your loved animal companion

About: I have cared for dogs since I was 11 years old and currently have a two-and-a-half-year-old Cockapoo in the UK. Alongside caring for my own dog, I have experience looking after both small and large breeds, as well as raising cats and rabbits in my home country. Dogs staying with me will enjoy daily visits to the nearby park, with at least two 30-minute walks or play sessions each day. With the owner’s permission and where it is safe, they can also enjoy off-lead play. I am patient, attentive and always take the time to understand each dog’s individual personality and routine, treating every pet as part of my own family. I believe every dog deserves to feel safe, loved and at home while their family is away. I am a PhD student with a flexible schedule, and my partner is at home full-time, so dogs staying with us will have plenty of company, attention and supervision throughout the day. Our usual routine includes three outdoor trips at around 9 am, 3 pm and 8 pm, with walks, playtime, sniffing and games of fetch in the large park just two minutes from our home. Between walks, dogs are free to relax, play and spend time with us at home. We also do our best to follow each dog’s usual feeding, walking and sleeping routine, so they can settle in quickly and feel comfortable and at home. We live in a spacious two-storey house with plenty of room for dogs to relax, play and move around comfortably. A large park is only a one-minute walk from our home, making regular exercise and outdoor time easy. Dogs are not routinely kept in crates, although we can follow their usual crate routine if requested. All guest dogs are welcome on the sofa, and dogs under 30 kg may sleep on the bed with the owner’s permission. We carefully follow all care instructions and make sure every dog is well supervised throughout their stay. I also keep detailed records of your dog’s daily routine and wellbeing, including their meals, walks, toilet habits, mood, behaviour and any other important changes, so you can easily keep track of how they are doing. Regular photo and video updates are provided throughout the stay, together with detailed status updates, so you’ll always know your dog is safe, happy and having fun. Photos are shared in a way that allows owners to easily view and save them as lovely memories of their dog’s stay.
“I almost don’t want to leave a review as when something you’ve found I so good you want to keep it to yourself. That wouldn’t be fair in Anna or the other dogs out there that need a home from home with a family who adores dogs. Oscar had the time of his life and I will be using Anna and her family for Oscar a lot! Thank you Anna.”

About: I have over twenty years of experience in the pet industry and I now work from home on a freelance basis, collaborating with vets, behaviourists and other pet professionals on a regular basis. I offer a calm and quiet child and pet free home with one dog at a time, or two dogs from the same household when suitable, so each dog can settle, relax and receive individual care and attention. Dogs settle quickly here because the home is calm, quiet and designed around their comfort. With one dog at a time, or two from the same household, they never have to compete for space, attention or reassurance. They get a peaceful environment, predictable routines and someone who understands stress signals, confidence building and gentle enrichment. Most dogs enjoy the relaxed coastal walks, the cosy resting spots around the home and the steady rhythm of the day. They can nap on the sofa, stay close by while I work from home, or explore the garden at their own pace. I follow their usual routines and keep everything low noise and low pressure so they feel safe, understood and fully relaxed. Dogs love staying here because it feels like a calm home, not a busy boarding environment, and they receive individual care from someone who has spent years working with vets, behaviourists and pet professionals.
