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.

“So before we met kay we were really unsure about leaving our boy reggie for a week while we went on a family holiday. Myself and my mrs and reggie went to meet kay and her partner at her home and straight from the start she put us at ease.. our reggie loved being around kay instantly and that was lovely to see. While on holiday kay has sent us daily updates and that was lovely as we could see he was very loved and cared for. I would recommend kay to anyone and we will definitely be using her again to care for our reggie. What a lovely family.”

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: We’re a caring and reliable couple who absolutely love dogs. While we don’t have may years pet-sitting experience, we’ve spent the last five years looking after our own cockapoo, friends and family's so we’re very familiar with daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, and plenty of cuddles. I work as a paramedic, and between the two of us, one will always be at home during the day and night. This means your dog will never be left alone for long and will always have company, supervision, and attention. We understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and we’ll treat your dog as if they were our own—making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while in our care. Pet care is already a big part of our daily routine as we have our own 5-year-old cockapoo. Our day is structured around walks, feeding times, play, and relaxing at home together. Due to my work as a paramedic and my partner’s schedule, one of us will always be home during the day and overnight. This means we can provide consistent supervision, regular toilet breaks, walks, and plenty of attention throughout the day. We’re used to planning our routine around a dog’s needs, so any dog staying with us will fit in comfortably and be treated like part of the family We have a big, fully fenced garden where dogs can safely play and explore. They’re welcome anywhere in the house and will be treated like part of the family, just like our own dog. We’re really close to parks and open fields, so there are plenty of good walking spots nearby. We also enjoy the occasional trip to the seaside for a change of scenery, if your dog enjoys that. We’ll stick to your dog’s usual routine as much as possible and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well looked after while they’re with us!

“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.”
“Vanessa is our favourite “go to person” to look after our cats whenever we’re away. Our cats love her! Every time we come back, our cats looked well cared for and happy. She sends us daily updates, always easy to talk to, makes sure the litter tray is filled, monitors both intake and output for both cats. We don’t ever have to worry about anything.”
About: I've loved cats for as long as I can remember and for the past 15 years I've been lucky enough to share my home with them. Living with cats has taught me that every one is different – some want to play and chat, others would much rather observe you from afar! I'm happy to take the time to get to know your cat and care for them in the way that suits them best. By day, I run my own business, so being organised, dependable and communicating well with people is second nature to me. I understand that inviting someone into your home and trusting them with your cat is a big decision, so I pride myself on being reliable, respectful and treating every home with care. During my visits I'll make sure your cat has everything they need, keep to their usual routine as much as possible and send regular photo and message updates so you can relax knowing they're happy and well. I'm also happy to water plants, bring in post and keep an eye on your home while you're away. I hold an enhanced DBS check and cover Norton, Wynyard, Billingham and the surrounding areas.
“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 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.
“Mary (Ivett) did such a great job looking after our Ebony! This was the second weekend we have asked her, and she has been brilliant, ensuring Ebony has some attention and all the food and water she needs every day. It us also so nice to get videos and pics of Ebony each visit! Will definitely ask Mary again! ”
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.
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 work full time as a support worker, i tend to do 3 to 4 shifts a week but each shift are 14hours long so days I work I am unavailable. I joined this app to help pets feel comfort 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: 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.
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 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 any day of the week. 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. 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.
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.

“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.”
“Ellie has been amazing with Enzo and me. She always offers to come collect him at drop off time and drop him back down for pick up. She gave me updates and photos daily too. Enzo loved going to her on a morning and I would 100% use her again.”
“My dog is very anxious and nervous so obviously was a bit worried about his first stay with Kay, soon as I met Kay and her husband I knew he would be fine, they made him feel at home and could tell they just wanted my dog to be happy & safe, he came home worn out as had plenty of walks & play time, would definitely recommend and will be using them again”
“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.”
“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: 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.

“Aslan loved his stay with Sarah and her family. He was very well looked after and loved and even had a holiday! We were given some great pupdates which was really reassuring for us. We will definitely take our fur baby to stay again on our next holiday. Thank you Sarah and family x”

About: I have had dogs in the family since I was 11 years old. I have experience of caring for old dogs and have had our current dog since he was 12 weeks old. My own dog is very friendly and would welcome another dog into the home. I work full time however both remote and in the office. Our weekends are spent dog walking mostly in the local area particularly on the beach. We have a fenced and gated medium sized garden. We have one male dog who is 5 years old and is neutered. He is extremely friendly and would be a lovely companion to any dogs staying in our home. We live close to the beach and countryside. We don’t currently have any children in the home.
“Dave and his family were welcoming, professional, and excellent communicators throughout Paddy’s weekend stay. We’d happily recommend them to family and friends and would be glad to book with them again! Thanks so much!”
“So before we met kay we were really unsure about leaving our boy reggie for a week while we went on a family holiday. Myself and my mrs and reggie went to meet kay and her partner at her home and straight from the start she put us at ease.. our reggie loved being around kay instantly and that was lovely to see. While on holiday kay has sent us daily updates and that was lovely as we could see he was very loved and cared for. I would recommend kay to anyone and we will definitely be using her again to care for our reggie. What a lovely family.”
About: We’re a caring and reliable couple who absolutely love dogs. While we don’t have may years pet-sitting experience, we’ve spent the last five years looking after our own cockapoo, friends and family's so we’re very familiar with daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, and plenty of cuddles. I work as a paramedic, and between the two of us, one will always be at home during the day and night. This means your dog will never be left alone for long and will always have company, supervision, and attention. We understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and we’ll treat your dog as if they were our own—making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while in our care. Pet care is already a big part of our daily routine as we have our own 5-year-old cockapoo. Our day is structured around walks, feeding times, play, and relaxing at home together. Due to my work as a paramedic and my partner’s schedule, one of us will always be home during the day and overnight. This means we can provide consistent supervision, regular toilet breaks, walks, and plenty of attention throughout the day. We’re used to planning our routine around a dog’s needs, so any dog staying with us will fit in comfortably and be treated like part of the family We have a big, fully fenced garden where dogs can safely play and explore. They’re welcome anywhere in the house and will be treated like part of the family, just like our own dog. We’re really close to parks and open fields, so there are plenty of good walking spots nearby. We also enjoy the occasional trip to the seaside for a change of scenery, if your dog enjoys that. We’ll stick to your dog’s usual routine as much as possible and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well looked after while they’re with 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”
