“From the moment I picked her up from her three night stay with Rebecca, it was clear that Luna had had a lovely time. She was relaxed and happy and had bonded well with Rebecca, who had dealt calmly and sensitively with Luna's anxiety about having her harness put on or removed by someone she doesn't know. Beccy clearly loves dogs, is eager to accommodate their needs and preferences. She has a lovely way of relating to them and building trust. I would have no hesitation in bringing Luna to stay again.”
“We can’t thank Allan and Hil enough for taking such wonderful care of our little dog, Poppy. From the moment we left her with them, we felt completely reassured that she was in safe, loving and caring hands. They treated Poppy as if she were their own, giving her plenty of attention, affection and care. It was clear that she was happy, relaxed and thoroughly spoiled during her stay! Their kindness, communication and genuine love for animals made the whole experience completely stress-free for us. We would highly recommend Allan and Hil to anyone looking for exceptional, trustworthy pet sitters. Thank you both!”
“I had a fantastic experience leaving Rosie for two nights. Communication was excellent throughout, with regular updates that really put me at ease. Our sitter went above and beyond by kindly sorting Rosie’s food when I forgot to drop it off, which was hugely appreciated. Rosie was clearly well cared for and very happy when we collected her. I wouldn’t hesitate to book again and would highly recommend.”
About: I have taken care of family and friends dogs for a long time. I also walk an elderly ladies dog through the Cinnamon Trust. I love spending time with dogs. I'm currently taking a summer break from work after 20 years, therefore I have plenty of time to spend with your animals. I enjoy walking dogs in the park right by my house. I have a fenced decent sized garden for pets to enjoy. I enjoy a walk in the local park and fields for them to enjoy. I enjoy spending time with pets and I' very trusted to look after and care for them.
“We can't fault the care Wida showed our dog. We were worried as her dog Peanut was larger but he is very soft, playful and gentle. Our dog went on long walks with plenty of well taken photos which reassured us and they accommodated him into their home without any stress for anyone. He was very chilled when we got him back.”
“Beth was a great host, I felt totally confident leaving Alfie in her care for 2 nights. She sent me regular updates and photos of Alfie on his walks, totally putting my mind at rest that he was being well looked after. When I dropped him off he was at ease in her company straight away making the whole process so much easier.”
“Francesca was very flexible as we had to change the dates around, this was not a problem. Went above and beyond to look after Flint. He was only 9 months old and suffered from separation anxiety so would not settle easily. Francesca ensured that he was accompanied 24/7. Flint enjoyed his time there and came home a very happy boy. I would highly recommend Francesca to anyone.”
About: I’m a caring and reliable dog owner with around 3 years of experience looking after dogs. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine and needs, and I’m always happy to adapt to make them feel comfortable and at home. I can provide plenty of company, attention and supervision throughout the day, and I won’t leave your dog alone. I enjoy daily walks, and we have fields and woodland close to our home, as well as plenty of opportunities for playtime and cuddles. At the same time, I’m happy to respect dogs who prefer a quieter and more relaxed environment. I can follow individual feeding, walking and medication routines where needed. My home is a relaxed and caring environment where your dog can feel safe, comfortable and treated as part of the family. I work from home, so pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. I’m home throughout the day and can provide regular company, attention and supervision, rather than leaving dogs alone for long periods. I usually start the day with a walk in the fields close to our home, followed by time at home for relaxing, play and cuddles throughout the morning. I normally go for another walk during my lunch break and then another one after 5pm, but I can also fit in additional walks or toilet breaks throughout the day depending on each dog’s usual routine and needs. I’m happy to adapt my routine to match your dog’s normal schedule so they can settle in quickly and feel comfortable while staying with me. My priority is always to make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable and well cared for while staying in my home. I keep a calm and clean environment and make sure doors, gates and the garden are secure at all times. I would always follow the owner’s instructions regarding feeding, walks, medication, routines and any specific needs. I also like to understand a dog’s personality and habits before their stay, including anything they may be nervous around or any behaviours I should be aware of. I’m happy to keep owners updated during their dog’s stay with messages and photos, so they can have peace of mind knowing their dog is happy and settled. I also have my own dog, Bailey (Cavalier King Charles), so I would always make sure any new dog is comfortable around him. For me, trust is really important, and I want both the dog and their owner to feel completely comfortable while they are in my care.
“Bruce had another wonderful stay with Artur and Wioleta. He was so happy to see Wioleta again he ran straight into the house and made himself at home. Artur and Wioleta are such a lovely couple who absolutely love dogs and they took great care of Bruce throughout his stay, sending lots of videos and photos.”
“Loretta watched my dog for 23 days, and she was absolutely wonderful! She took fantastic care of my fur baby, sent regular updates, and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. My dog was so happy and well-cared for. I couldn't have asked for a better sitter. I highly recommend Loretta and would definitely book with her again!”
“Mike was absolutely wonderful with my anxious dog - all the “problems” I’d had elsewhere with my very active collie, Mike completely took in his stride, and had several solutions for. My dog was not just cared for, he was also entertained, exercised, stimulated and snuggled - he loved his time there and I would not hesitate to use Mike’s services again.”
“Buster had a great time. We were so grateful Patricia could accommodate him last minute while we were away for the week! We had regular updates and Buster was very well looked after x I would 100% recommend Patricia x thank you so much x”
“Samantha and her family were amazing! Great communication throughout organising the pet sitting and while our sausage dog Rupert was staying with them. We received daily photos and updates of how Rupert was getting on. We got lots of photos of Rupert hanging out with the family and he got to play with their dog Roxy. I can’t fault Samantha at all. Highly recommend Samantha and her family :)”
“Sinead and her family are lovely. They sent lots of updates and took great care of our spaniel, including lots of walks on frosty and snowy mornings. Tilly came home a happy girl”
“Gabrielle and the whole family did a great job of looking after Milo while we had a week away. They took such good care and were especially mindful of the effect of the heat as his stay fell during a uk heatwave. We will use you again, thank you so much!”

“Melanie was fantastic with our boys! I would 100% recommend her. She sent pictures and an update every day. She was able to administer Tony’s insulin injections - he was only diagnosed the week before we went away and Melanie put us at ease that he would be well taken care of. Even with the new diagnosis its the most relaxed I’ve been on holiday in the last couple of years. I felt as though she took care of my babies in the same way I would and they were clearly very happy in her company. Will absolutely book her again”
“Nia came highly recommended by some of my best friends, when she met my three cats she was very sweet and understanding if they were nervous- when visiting she took lots of photos of each of them to show they were all doing well, as well as updates showing them being fed etc will definitely book with Nia again and recommend!”
About: Cats have been part of my life since I was a teenager, and I've been caring for my own for over 10 years. I'm currently owned by Pickles, my 11-year-old rescue moggy who's embracing his senior years with real granddad energy. He loves a good snooze after dinner but will absolutely let you know when it's time for a fuss! I've also grown up with family cats of all personalities, including a couple of particularly spicy strays, so I'm no stranger to a cat with strong opinions. I've cared for cats from kittenhood through to their senior years, including indoor-only cats, administering tablet medication and following individual feeding routines. I know that every cat is different. Some want cuddles and playtime, while others would much rather observe you suspiciously from across the room! I'm patient with nervous cats and believe in letting them approach on their own terms, however long that takes. During visits, I'm happy to handle feeding, fresh water, litter trays, playtime, cuddles (when invited!) and plenty of company, all tailored to your cat's personality and routine. I'll also send photos and updates so you can relax knowing they're being looked after. What I love most about cats is getting to know their little quirks and personalities. There's nothing quite like earning the trust and affection of a cat, especially one who's made you work for it!
“Leah gave an excellent first impression and was indeed as competent as she appeared. The cats got on very well, and she was patient with my more nervous feline and made friends. I would be very pleased to have Leah look after my cats again.”
“Kristine has taken care of my cat Snowdon the past couple of times that I’ve been away. She is great at keeping me updated on how he’s doing, and I trust her to ensure that he takes his medication and is being well looked after in my absence. Thanks Kristine for the brilliant service and knowledge that Snowdon is in good hands😊”
“If we could have given more stars, we would have. Heather came into a really difficult situation in that we had just lost our cat Purdie. She was really great looking after Maddie and provided such good updates and pictures about how Maddie was, her eating and interacting. Thank you Heather”
“Isabella is a pleasant young woman and obviously loves animals. She looked after our 2 tabbies, including giving one of them medication, while we were away for a few days, and kept us up to date with photos and videos. We returned to happy, well cared for cats.”
About: I have over three years of dedicated experience caring for cats of all ages and temperaments, including volunteering at a local cat rescue. During that time, I provided daily care, socialisation, and medical support to cats in need—administering medications, monitoring health, and ensuring a clean, stress-free environment. I’m passionate about creating a calm and loving space where each cat feels safe and understood. My attention to detail, patience, and commitment ensure every cat is happy, healthy, and comfortable under my care.
About: I’ve taken care of family friends cats and cared for my own cats in the past. I adore all animals, and understand how to make cats feel safe and comfortable in my presence. I have studied animal management, and currently study animal welfare, giving me knowledge and experience on animal behaviour and care. I have worked in the pet care agency for 2 years now.
“Ellena was amazing! She spent quality time with our cats, giving them love and affection. Her constant updates and photos put our minds at ease. Everything was handled professionally and with a friendly touch. Highly recommended! Thanks, Ellena!”
About: I've owned two Bengal cats for four years and then one for another four years. Bengal cats are energetic and require a lot of attention. I'd like to say I understand the needs and can play really well with these sorts of cats and give them all the love they deserve. My cat Simba who I owned for four years had a medical health condition, which required me and my mother to give him medication everyday. If this is needed I can help.
“Francesca was great with my cat, Pepper. She had great communication, sent pictures daily and gave Pepper lots of attention and fuss. Would recommend and will be booking for future visits. Thank you ☺️”
About: I have been a cat sitter once before for a senior cat Willow and grew up with one adorable tabby cat! I understand how important it is to look after your babies so I make sure to always keep an eye on them if they are outside and am happy to walk them on a leash and harness if that’s something you do! I am more than happy for snuggles and play time but also understand if your cats are a little reserved!
“Thank you Tarrah for house sitting for Jess whilst we were away! We got lots of updates with photos and videos and conract if there were any concerns. Tarrah took the time to let Jess come to her on her terms as she is a timid cat and I think they were firm friends by the end of the week. We returned to a settled cat and clean home. Thanks again 😻”
About: Most of my experience lies with cats. I grew up with 5 cats, bottle-feeding a litter and ensuring they went to loving homes whilst in my teens, and caring for my roommates' cats since then. I adore all kinds of cats, from social extroverts to those who prefer their own space, and I always respond to their individual personalities and needs. I’m happy to handle everything from basic care, like feeding and litter maintenance, to grooming and interactive play. My focus is always on keeping cats comfortable, happy, and engaged, so you can feel confident your feline friend is in caring hands.
“Thomas accommodated my last minute booking and set my mind at ease leaving my cats for a few days. He is very attentive and the cats loved him! I will always book Thomas when I go away. I couldn't be happier. He is really nice and I came home to happy cats and a clean area!”

“We left yogi with Chris to visit Chester Zoo which is only about 10 minutes or so from their house. Yogi had a blast and loved every minute of his visit. They provided lots of water and treats and made him feel right at home. Will definitely book again when we visit next! Thanks Chris!”
“Absolutely brilliant, we can’t recommend Patka highly enough. Finley loved his time with her and was looked after to the highest standard. We felt very reassured knowing Patka was looking after him, and will definitely use her again in the future.”
“Francesca was amazing with my Puppy he had the best day with Francesca and her 8 month old golden retriever puppy, perfect for socialisation for my 14 week old puppy being with the older dog. Francesca has a beautiful home and large safe garden perfect for any puppy or dog to stay. I had a lovely update with photos to show me that Dixie my pup was doing ok which was nice to see. I will be using Francesca again 🐶 Highly recommend Francesca 🐶💙”
“Thank you to Jenna, she was very welcoming of our little dog, took on all our requests and kept other dogs seperate until our dog acclimatised. Kept in touch during the day and Coco had a nice time. We highly recommend and happy for to her mind Coco the next time we are near Chester.”
“This was the first time we had left Misla with someone other than family or friends and we were nervous. However on meeting Bilgen we were soon put at our ease. She sent us a video and pictures of a happy Misla during the day while we are at a close friends 50th wedding anniversary celebration. On the basis of our experience we would highly recommend Bilgen. She helped make our day.”

“Alan did an excellent job looking after my dog. He was friendly, reliable, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. From the moment we met, I felt confident my dog was in safe hands. My dog came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for. I really appreciated Alan’s kindness and professionalism throughout. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their dog, and I’ll definitely be using his services again.”
About: Since loosing my beloved doggy Winston earlier in the year, I have made the decision to care and love other people’s fur babies rather than get another dog. I absolutely love dogs and care for them to a very high standard. I have been on websites such as Borrow my Doggy and due to my popularity on this site, I have begun the process of setting up an official dog boarding service. I could spend every day with a dog and be very happy! Winston had diabetes and went blind. I have experience in caring for dogs who require daily injections and diet management aswell as sensory support. I have cared for dogs who are deaf and dogs both young and old. I love to walk and will tailor walk lengths to the dogs capabilities. I live in a detached house with large rear garden that is secure. I can offer both week day and weekend support. I also like to go the extra mile for those I meet and the dogs I care for. I have cared for a dog with ongoing medical needs and understand how costs can be crippling. I would be happy to offer support at short notice or services such as an extended day support or pick up and drop offs. I have cared for a variety of different breeds and love them all! I can support owners with more than one dog 🐾🐶 I can offer overnight support across week days and weekends, day care support and walks. I will also support over bank holidays if I am available. I cannot offer day support on a Wednesday or night time support on a tuesday night. This can be adapted if your dog can have periods of time unsupervised (for example they are staying for a few days whilst owners are on holiday). I have a large secure rear garden where your dog can play and get some fresh air. My house is detached and we have no issue with barkers ! The downstairs is open plan which is positive for doggy supervision. I offer home from home services and will tailor my support to what you need. I live by a nice park where I will walk the dogs or if possible, take them slightly further afield to the race course or places such as loggerheads. I’ve catered for dogs who have slept on the bed as this is what they do at home 😂 I will adapt the support I provide to what your dog does at home.
“Michael was very flexible and a responsive communicator. He looked after our dog during the day when we had a long day out with family and were worried about leaving her for too long. We needn’t have worried, she had a lovely time and he was very responsive to her needs. We got her back happy and relaxed, we would book with him again.”

About: We are mad about dogs! With over 40 years of experience owning and caring for dogs, from tiny puppies taking their first steps to much-loved elderly companions enjoying their quieter years, we truly understand what it means to care for your dog. We’ve welcomed pedigrees, rescues and wonderful mixed breeds of every shape and size into our family, each with their own unique personality, quirks and needs. Our dogs have never simply been pets - they’ve always been cherished members of the family, treated with love, patience, kindness and plenty of fuss. We’re genuinely mad about dogs and believe they deserve to feel safe, happy, loved and thoroughly spoiled! In fact, we’d probably fight over who gets the cuddles, fuss and playtime! When your dog is with us, they’ll be cared for as one of our own, with lots of love, attention, companionship and plenty of tail-wagging adventures along the way. Pet care will be a big part of our daily routine, with 2 adults at home 24/7. One works part-time from home, so is around for the majority of the day, while the other is available every evening and at weekends in addition to this.

Our garden is fully fenced around its boundaries, with all gates kept securely locked. We currently have no pets of our own, meaning your dog will receive our full attention and care. We have a park close by for regular walks, while our secure back garden provides a safe space for playtime, relaxation and toilet breaks. We aim to make every dog feel comfortable, safe and very much at home.

I’ll treat your dog as if they were my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I’ve cared for a range of dogs, including Collies, Labradors and Shih Tzus, so I’m comfortable with different sizes, personalities and energy levels. I also have experience caring for elderly dogs and understand that they may need a gentler pace, extra patience and plenty of comfort and attention. I love spending time with dogs, whether that’s going for walks, playing, giving lots of cuddles or simply keeping them company. I’ll always follow your dog’s usual routine and treat them with the same love and care I’d want for my own.

About: We are experienced pet sitters with over five years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. Dogs have always been a big part of our lives, and caring for them comes naturally to us. My husband and I both work from home, which allows us to spend most of our time with the dogs in our care. This means they receive constant supervision, companionship, and attention throughout the day rather than being left alone for long periods. We are outdoor people and genuinely enjoy taking dogs on regular walks, adapting activity levels to suit each dog’s needs. We are comfortable handling dogs who may be anxious, nervous, or not immediately friendly, and we take a calm, patient approach to help them feel safe and settled at their own pace. Every dog is different, and we make it a priority to understand their routine, personality, and preferences. Our goal is to provide a secure, loving, and structured environment where dogs feel comfortable, cared for, and happy while their owners are away. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I work from home, which gives me the flexibility to give dogs the attention and care they need throughout the day. Whether it’s taking them out for a walk, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company, I’m able to be present and responsive to their needs. My job allows me to structure my day around their schedule, so they’re never left feeling lonely or bored. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a pet owner’s home, my goal is always to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved. In my home, I create a calm and cozy space where they can relax, play, and feel at ease. I stick closely to their usual routines—mealtimes, walks, play, and rest—so the transition is as smooth as possible. If I’m in the owner’s home, I respect their space and make sure to keep everything just as they left it, while giving their pet the same attention and care they’re used to. I’m attentive to their behavior and needs, and I always keep communication open with pet parents through updates and photos.
“Rebecca did an excellent job. The hound was very happy with her. The second day when we took him again to her house he went in with a waggy tail. Rebecca was easy to communicate with and she sent photos to reassure us that he was having a nice time. Would highly recommend.”
“We had the best rover experience with Rosie! She made us feel so comfortable leaving our nervous dog Lady for the day. She was so welcoming and sent loads of photos and videos throughout the day. She gave Lady a wonderful time, playing in her garden and going for a walk in the countryside. Thank you so much Rosie.”

“Couldn't recommend Nia enough. Punctual, professional and always likes walking the dogs. She has gained a regular customer in me so if you're wondering definitely give Nia a try”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 10 years, looking after not only my own pets but also those of neighbours, friends, and family. My experience includes feeding, walking, playtime, drop-in visits, and overnight stays, ensuring pets feel happy, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I’m also a proud dog owner myself. My 8-year-old French Bulldog, Monty, has taught me just how important it is to find someone trustworthy and reliable to care for your pet. I treat every dog as if they were my own, providing plenty of attention, affection, and personalised care to suit their individual needs. As I work remotely and manage my own schedule, I have the flexibility to be available for daytime walks, drop-in visits, companionship throughout the day, and overnight stays. This allows me to give your pet the time, care, and attention they deserve while keeping their routine as consistent as possible. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine as I work remotely and have a flexible schedule. This allows me to plan my day around the needs of the pets I’m caring for, whether that’s morning walks, daytime check-ins, playtime, feeding, or overnight stays. As a dog owner myself, caring for animals is already a big part of my everyday life. I enjoy being active outdoors and spending time with dogs, so making sure they receive plenty of exercise, attention, and companionship throughout the day is something I genuinely enjoy. My flexible working hours also mean I can adapt to your pet’s usual routine and provide consistent, reliable care while you’re away. I provide pet care both in the owner’s home and, where suitable, in my own home. I generally prefer caring for pets in their own home, as it keeps them in a familiar, comfortable, and low-stress environment and allows them to maintain their normal routine. I also have an 8-year-old French Bulldog, so my home is shared with another friendly dog, which can be a great fit for sociable pets. At my home, I have a secure fenced front and back garden with space for dogs to play and go to the bathroom, as well as close access to local walking trails for regular walks and exercise. For boarding, I can also offer stays at a second, dog-free home when needed, providing a calm environment for pets who prefer space without other dogs around. In all cases, my priority is making sure each pet feels safe, settled, and well cared for, with plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship.
About: I have worked with dogs for 3 years and adore them. I always make sure to put their comfort and experience first. I have worked as a dog groomer and gained my Canine first aid qualification, as well as in a dog rescue, giving me experience with nervous dogs and those with behavioural issues. I currently walk dogs in Chester and have experience sitting and walking a variety of breeds, I am excellent at adapting to ages, energy levels and any medical issues that need to be accounted for. I am a University student, so I am able to offer walking, house sitting and check in services. I am currently a University student so I am available for drop ins, walks in the day and also house sitting for any amount of time. In an owners home, I make sure to fully introduce myself to the pet before entering their space and home. I am extremely empathetic and compassionate in my care for animals, and know how to make sure they feel safe, enriched and well cared for.
About: I've had pets since I was a toddler - both cats and dogs of all sizes. I have experience with medically monitored pets and pets with behavioural issues. I have helped to train animals. I am generally a lover of all animals! I am currently unemployed and so I will have plenty of time to put in to caring for your animals, however much time they require. Once I know I will be sitting for you, I will ask for any house rules/training rules you establish for your pet. I will follow these to the best of my ability to make the transition for your animal as easy as possible. My focus will always be the comfort of your animal as a guest in their home.
About: I’ve been a reliable dog sitter for friends, family, and have always had dogs in the house since I was little! I have experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and energy levels, providing walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of affection. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, interactive play, or simply relaxing with company, I'm happy to tailor my care to what makes them feel comfortable and happy 😊 I work from home as a freelancer, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to be available throughout the day for pet care. I can easily accommodate morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend visits. My flexible routine means I can adapt to your pet's schedule and ensure they receive reliable, attentive care while you're away. I will always follow the owner's instructions carefully to keep their routine as consistent as possible. I also have a large fenced in garden with lots of open space for them to play and roam, as well as being next to lots of walking areas. I provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away.
“Kristine has started walking my very excitable, boisterous staffy. And he adores her! She is brilliant at communication, reliable and took great care of Doug. I would absolutely always trust her with him.”
About: I have had cats since I was 15, and I babysitted a guide dog for 2 weeks when I was 11. Since then I've done Animal Management Level 2 B-Tec and Animal Management Level 3 B-Tec getting a Double Merit grade. Alongside my educational journey I was required to look after many different types of animals, give them appropriate medications as well as food preparation and providing correct enrichment. I have also worked approximately 2 years in Pets at Home as a retail assistant fully trained in selling animals. This gives me the full understanding of dietary requirements as well as trained in health checking animals when required. I am currently on Summer Holiday and have a lot of free time to look after anyone's pets. Open to try new things and I'll be communicating effectively to give the care needed. This means ever school holidays I'll be back home and ready to look after any pets. I have a large room needed for any reptiles and amphibians, my cat spends a lot of time outside. I'm good with cats in other people's homes as I find them very passive.
About: I’m a caring and reliable dog owner with around 3 years of experience looking after dogs. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine and needs, and I’m always happy to adapt to make them feel comfortable and at home. I can provide plenty of company, attention and supervision throughout the day, and I won’t leave your dog alone. I enjoy daily walks, and we have fields and woodland close to our home, as well as plenty of opportunities for playtime and cuddles. At the same time, I’m happy to respect dogs who prefer a quieter and more relaxed environment. I can follow individual feeding, walking and medication routines where needed. My home is a relaxed and caring environment where your dog can feel safe, comfortable and treated as part of the family. I work from home, so pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. I’m home throughout the day and can provide regular company, attention and supervision, rather than leaving dogs alone for long periods. I usually start the day with a walk in the fields close to our home, followed by time at home for relaxing, play and cuddles throughout the morning. I normally go for another walk during my lunch break and then another one after 5pm, but I can also fit in additional walks or toilet breaks throughout the day depending on each dog’s usual routine and needs. I’m happy to adapt my routine to match your dog’s normal schedule so they can settle in quickly and feel comfortable while staying with me. My priority is always to make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable and well cared for while staying in my home. I keep a calm and clean environment and make sure doors, gates and the garden are secure at all times. I would always follow the owner’s instructions regarding feeding, walks, medication, routines and any specific needs. I also like to understand a dog’s personality and habits before their stay, including anything they may be nervous around or any behaviours I should be aware of. I’m happy to keep owners updated during their dog’s stay with messages and photos, so they can have peace of mind knowing their dog is happy and settled. I also have my own dog, Bailey (Cavalier King Charles), so I would always make sure any new dog is comfortable around him. For me, trust is really important, and I want both the dog and their owner to feel completely comfortable while they are in my care.

About: Hi! I’m a reliable and caring pet lover based in Chester, currently working as an animal keeper, so caring for animals is a huge part of my everyday life. I have hands-on experience working with a variety of animals and understand the importance of patience, routine, and making pets feel safe and comfortable. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, administering basic care, or simply giving them lots of attention and affection, I’ll treat your pet like my own. I’m confident with different breeds, sizes, and personalities, and I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in safe hands.

Outside of work, I care for my own pets, making sure they receive all the love, attention, and structure they need to stay happy and healthy. Balancing professional animal care with personal pet sitting keeps my days full of purpose, compassion, and happy paws. When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping them comfortable, secure, and happy in their familiar environment. I follow each pet’s established routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions, ensuring minimal disruption to their normal schedule. I provide plenty of affection, enrichment, and attention while also keeping their space clean and safe.

About: Hey! I’m Rebecca a longtime animal lover and professional photographer, I’m very privileged to work with dogs in my line of work, so rest assured your pets are in safe hands! I have previously looked after dogs for family and friends including nervous dogs. I also love to go on walks so would be willing and able to take your dogs for long walks. Plus you get the added benefit of some very cute dog pictures! I’m currently a student going into my master which is one day a week, however I am on summer break at the minute so have all the time in the world to look after your little darlings! I am experienced with nervous dogs so I know when to let your pet have some downtime! I check in regularly and make sure they are okay and happy.
About: I'm a 29-year-old woman who currently works as a street performer which gives me excellent flexibility when it comes to giving your dogs their much-needed energy release. I have a huge love for dogs due to me having lived with four dogs for over a year and I have a particular soft spot for french bulldogs. (I mean, who doesn't?) Big or small I will walk your pooch until they are tired enough to give the ground a smooch! I have volunteered at my Grandmother's animal shelter in New Zealand years ago so I am sufficient in caring for animals, even when there are a lot of them. I go to the gym almost daily so I am physically fit to walk any animal big or small, young or old. I also have volunteered with helping charities raise money and I've used my many artistic skills to help do this. I am perfectly happy to pop into your home and feed the dog(s) before or after the walk if that is required of me, or I can stay overnight at your home to give your pet some extra company for a charge of £25 per night. I hope you find me a good candidate for walking for your furry friend(s)! Hope to hear from you soon! Ellena Mackay. I am self employed and have pet sitting as my main form of income as I squeeze busking and gig work around it. I walk and take public transport so as long as you are nearby I am happy to take care of your pets! I will not be dog boarding as I live in a rental, I will follow any instructions for pet care in their own home where they will be the most comfortable.
“Dev was brilliant with my dog Millie , she looked after Millie for a week and kept us updated each day sending us pictures of Millie. I will definitely recommend Dev and I will definitely use her in the future. Dev kept our home very clean aswell ..”
“Could not recommend Hannah more! Having never met us or energetic 1 year old GSP and with only 2 days notice Hannah met us and our pup, took her for a short walk and then came back the next day, when we were out for the majority of the day to walk, play and then settle her all while we were not in. Hugely helped us out on such short notice and couldn’t trust Hannah more in our home or with our dog!”

“From the moment I picked her up from her three night stay with Rebecca, it was clear that Luna had had a lovely time. She was relaxed and happy and had bonded well with Rebecca, who had dealt calmly and sensitively with Luna's anxiety about having her harness put on or removed by someone she doesn't know. Beccy clearly loves dogs, is eager to accommodate their needs and preferences. She has a lovely way of relating to them and building trust. I would have no hesitation in bringing Luna to stay again.”
“We can’t thank Allan and Hil enough for taking such wonderful care of our little dog, Poppy. From the moment we left her with them, we felt completely reassured that she was in safe, loving and caring hands. They treated Poppy as if she were their own, giving her plenty of attention, affection and care. It was clear that she was happy, relaxed and thoroughly spoiled during her stay! Their kindness, communication and genuine love for animals made the whole experience completely stress-free for us. We would highly recommend Allan and Hil to anyone looking for exceptional, trustworthy pet sitters. Thank you both!”
“I had a fantastic experience leaving Rosie for two nights. Communication was excellent throughout, with regular updates that really put me at ease. Our sitter went above and beyond by kindly sorting Rosie’s food when I forgot to drop it off, which was hugely appreciated. Rosie was clearly well cared for and very happy when we collected her. I wouldn’t hesitate to book again and would highly recommend.”
“We can't fault the care Wida showed our dog. We were worried as her dog Peanut was larger but he is very soft, playful and gentle. Our dog went on long walks with plenty of well taken photos which reassured us and they accommodated him into their home without any stress for anyone. He was very chilled when we got him back.”
“Francesca was very flexible as we had to change the dates around, this was not a problem. Went above and beyond to look after Flint. He was only 9 months old and suffered from separation anxiety so would not settle easily. Francesca ensured that he was accompanied 24/7. Flint enjoyed his time there and came home a very happy boy. I would highly recommend Francesca to anyone.”

“Bruce had another wonderful stay with Artur and Wioleta. He was so happy to see Wioleta again he ran straight into the house and made himself at home. Artur and Wioleta are such a lovely couple who absolutely love dogs and they took great care of Bruce throughout his stay, sending lots of videos and photos.”
“Loretta watched my dog for 23 days, and she was absolutely wonderful! She took fantastic care of my fur baby, sent regular updates, and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. My dog was so happy and well-cared for. I couldn't have asked for a better sitter. I highly recommend Loretta and would definitely book with her again!”
“Buster had a great time. We were so grateful Patricia could accommodate him last minute while we were away for the week! We had regular updates and Buster was very well looked after x I would 100% recommend Patricia x thank you so much x”
“Sinead and her family are lovely. They sent lots of updates and took great care of our spaniel, including lots of walks on frosty and snowy mornings. Tilly came home a happy girl”
“Absolutely fantastic dog sitter! I booked with Abbey at very short notice, just the day before, and she was so accommodating and happy to take my dogs in. From the photos and updates, it was clear they were having a brilliant time and were very well looked after. She took them for walks, played with them, fed them and made sure they were settled and comfortable. It was such a relief knowing they were in safe hands, and I really appreciated how flexible and caring she was. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Abby and would definitely book with her again. Thank you so much for looking after my dogs!”
“Sarah was amazing with our nervous dog, Boo. She doesn’t normally warm to strangers very fast, but with Sarah, Boo took to her instantly. You could tell Sarah was patient and had a calming energy about her, which Boo really responded to. During the week-long stay, we received regular updates, and at no point were we worried about Boo. We knew she was well looked after. We will definitely be trusting Sarah with our Boo again. Usually, we worry about leaving her behind when we go away, so it’s lovely to find someone we know Boo is happy with. We honestly can’t recommend Sarah enough!”
About: I have 5+ years veterinary experience with a passion for animal welfare. I have previously trained puppies for hearing dogs for deaf people and I love teaching new tricks! I work rotating early and late shifts in small animal veterinary care, so my schedule can be flexible. I am happy to board over weekends and alternate weekdays after 3pm. I am happy to pet sit at your house or mine, wherever your pet will feel most comfortable. I have a large fenced in garden and a no pet household.
“Ellen is absolutely wonderful! We left our Labrador, Millie, with her for a two-night stay, and it was truly a home-from-home experience. Ellen’s deep experience with dogs shows from the moment you meet her—she treated Millie like family and made sure she was completely comfortable, happy, and loved. Having total peace of mind knowing Millie was in such a warm, welcoming home was priceless. We will definitely be booking with Ellen again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a top-tier dog sitter!”
“Tanya looked after my staffy for two weeks while I went on my honeymoon. I was so nervous about leaving him - he's incredibly needy, energetic and definitely a handful. But he adored Tanya, she looked after him so well and dealt with all of his issues, she sent pictures every day which was so reassuring and she gave me lots of really good advice. If you're thinking of booking Tanya, your dog couldnt be safer or happier with her. Thank you so much”
About: Dogs have always been a huge passion of mine, and I’ve spent many years owning, working with and caring for them professionally. My experience began working as a Veterinary Care Assistant, where I gained valuable experience caring for dogs and understanding their health, wellbeing and individual needs. I’m now a professional dog groomer and home-from-home dog boarder, running my own business, Cosy Canines. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds, ages, sizes and personalities, and I love getting to know each dog as an individual and making sure they feel safe, happy and comfortable in my care. I’m also about to begin a degree in Canine Behaviour and Training, as I’m passionate about continuing to learn more about dogs and developing my knowledge of their behaviour, communication and wellbeing. I’m canine first aid trained, licensed and insured, and I treat every dog in my care as one of my own. My aim is to provide a genuinely loving, relaxed home-from-home experience, while giving owners peace of mind that their dog is in safe and experienced hands. 🐾❤️ I work as a full-time dog groomer from my purpose-built grooming cabin in my garden, so I am home throughout the day and able to give dogs plenty of care, attention and supervision. My grooming schedule is flexible, allowing me to fit walks, playtime, toilet breaks and plenty of cuddles around my working day. Dogs staying with me are part of the family and have company throughout the day rather than being left alone for long periods. Your dog’s safety and wellbeing are my top priority. I provide a calm, clean and secure home-from-home environment where dogs can settle in and feel part of the family. I have two friendly dogs of my own who are well socialised and used to having visiting dogs around. I also have two dog-savvy children who understand how to behave respectfully around dogs and their boundaries. All interactions are supervised, and I always make sure each dog has space and quiet time when they need it. With over 10 years of experience working with dogs, including my previous experience as a Veterinary Care Assistant and my current work as a professional dog groomer, I am confident recognising changes in behaviour and wellbeing and providing individual care based on each dog’s needs. I am also about to begin a degree in Canine Behaviour and Training, further developing my knowledge and understanding of dogs.
