“Had great communication and a meet up with Ciara before the visit. Maple was really happy going in for her stay and it was clear from the photograph updates we received that she was made to feel very welcome & quickly made herself at home! We received updates letting us know that she was fine, which were much appreciated. Very grateful to Ciara for taking such good care of Maple, and would most definitely recommend!”
“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!”
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.
“Erminia is absolutely brilliant! Dotty my cockerpoo had an amazing time whilst in her care. Dotty settled straight away and I received updates and photos which was lovely. Highly recommened for anyone looking for someone to look after their dogs. Thanks Erminia!!”
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.
“Darcy was really well cared for by Lorretta and her Family. She has come home very happy and tired from all the fun. Thanks Lorretta for taking such good of our Fur baby we know she can be a handful. Thanks for the photos and updates it put us at ease knowing she was okay and settled in.”
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.
“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.”
“Maestro had the best 2 day holiday ever! He was really spoilt by Sarah - and her family! He had lots of walks and a lovely trip out. Sarah sent us lots of messages and photos so we weren't at all concerned about leaving him! He looked really happy in all the photos and came away ready for a good sleep! Thank you, Sarah ! You enabled us to be able to enjoy my birthday trip to the zoo without worrying about Maestro!”
About: A few things about why I like to take care of pets, particularly of cats? This is just because I have a real, natural instinct and transparent purpose, as unfortunately I cannot have a cat due to my circumstances, however, I feel that something is missing so I found this more like a playful game for your pet, you and I. By spending high-quality time with them, so I can somehow fill that void of emptiness and need of having a pet (I would love a cat though) in my life. I would love to connect with every cat, but I reckon is not possible, because they are just cats, but I know I can do my best to gain at least their attention while you are away. I grew up surrounded by cats, always had cats around my home when I was a little and I have an immersive love for them! 🥰 Currently, I am offering services in Chester area (I can travel up to a max. 4-5 miles away). I'm here to help taking care of your furry/furries family member(s) and meeting all their needs while you're away. I will treat them like they are my own babies. For a personalised price, which might drop in most cases, please feel free to reach out. 😊 Thank you for reading my bio. I truly appreciate it! Currently I am working part-time from home, so I can easily adapt to your pet care routine. Your pet will come first, then my freelance projects, which does not have always a deadline. Even in those circumstances, I will adapt my schedule to fit your pet needs. Unfortunately, I cannot provide pet in my home offer. This service is not currently available due to my circumstances, such as private renting, where no pets are allowed.

“Completely over the moon with this service. Poppy was so well looked after and we received regular updates putting our minds at ease. They also put lots of energy in to making sure she was played with and walked plenty. I would recommend this family to anybody and Poppy would definitely love to come back. Thankyou both again 🙂”
“Michael and Val were exceptional hosts for our Jessie, she was treated very well and we had regular updates of all of the walks they went on. Would very much recommend. Thanks again.”

“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 😻”
“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”
“Perfect thank you so much for feeding Smudge !! It was lovely meeting Nia before her visit so we could get to know her and give her a key, and the photos of Smudge were lovely to see while we were away 🥰”
“Kristine was amazing, she looked after Bella so well and gave me regular updates. She made sure Bella had cuddles and she even stayed longer to keep her company. Thank you, will definitely use again in the future ☺️”
“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: 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!
“Your a Star! Not only did Matt come over before I went away to get the key, say hi to Bunny, and see where the cat food was kept etc. Matt while I was away, gave my cat some fuss, washed the cat feeder boles and also helped me with a sudden fly invasion to which I'm so grateful for. Thank you Matt!”
“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 ☺️”
“Morag was absolutely wonderful looking after our indoor cat, she was really intentional about making sure she learnt about him beforehand and that we were a right fit for eachother, and sent plenty of updates and pics while we were away. Couldn’t recommend more!”
“I'd been apprehensive about having a cat sitter come into my home but Ellena was highly recommended to me by a colleague. Ellena has just looked after my fur babies for a few days and I couldn't be happier with her communication and care for the cats. The cats certainly seem to have had fun with her! I'll be using Ellena in future over the cattery.”
“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!”
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.

“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!”

“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 🐶💙”
“Jenna agreed to a Meet and Greet beforehand so Ria knew where she was going. Ria is very nervous. Jenna sent a message to indicate she was settling and responding to Jenna and her family which was good. The photo on the Report card unfortunately just shows as black.”
“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.”
“We unexpectedly had to find somewhere to look after our 14 week old puppy for the day. Friends had recommended Rover but my first time. I took time to read lots of reviews and opened up communication with Tom. Briefly met him the day before and then dropped Rio for a very long day. Had great commendation throughout the day and Tom was very undertaking when our return journey had traffic delays. Would highly recommend and for sure will be using 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. This means your dog will have plenty of company, attention, interaction, walks, playtime and cuddles, with someone always available to make sure they feel settled, happy and well cared for. 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.
“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.”

“Benji had a great day with Oliver and Milo. I was updated every few hours with photos and videos and he seemed very happy with them even though it was his first time. I will book him again for sure. Thank you!”
“After one of my dogs spending a weekend with Rosie and it being such a success, I went ahead and booked all of the dogs in for daycare. They’ve had the most lovely time and I have received updates throughout the day. Having used the services of a couple of other dog sitters previously, Rosie is a completely different experience for many reasons and we’re so delighted to have found her!”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fiona was fantastic with Willow, and we would happily book with her again. We reached out with only a couple of days' notice when we were planning a visit to Chester Zoo, and Fiona was incredibly accommodating from the start. She was flexible with timings, allowing us to drop Willow off towards the later end of our agreed window and collect her at the latest possible time, which made planning our day so much easier. Throughout the process, Fiona was friendly, responsive, and easy to coordinate with. Willow spent the day with Fiona, her own dog Luna, and another dog she was caring for called Rosie. While we were naturally a little cautious about introducing Willow to new dogs, Fiona's confidence and experience gave us reassurance, and she was absolutely right. Luna and Rosie turned out to be the perfect companions for our energetic one-year-old Golden Retriever, providing a great balance of play and calmness throughout the day. Fiona kept us updated with regular photos and videos, which allowed us to see just how much fun Willow was having and helped us relax and enjoy our day out. The updates, combined with Fiona's obvious understanding of dog behaviour and group dynamics, gave us complete confidence that Willow was in excellent hands. The biggest sign of how successful the day was came when we picked Willow up. She was calm, happy, relaxed, and pleasantly tired after a day of fun and stimulation. It's clear that Fiona genuinely cares about the dogs she looks after and creates a safe, positive environment for them. If we're ever back in Chester, Fiona will be one of the first people we contact for dog care. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, reliable, and caring sitter.”
“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.”
“Anna was great, Sherlock was a very happy boy after his day. Anna helped us out at very last minute, even when she already had plans but made it work and looked after Sherlock perfectly, he went straight to sleep the moment we got him home.”

“Nia was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Milo! He's usually a bit nervous around new people, but Nia showed such patience and kindness, really taking the time to make him feel comfortable and win him over. Milo clearly loved his walk with her! Nia was incredibly professional, and we’ll definitely be booking with her again. Highly recommended!”
“Our baby, Hazel, is a little skeptical about new people. But Christine has such a lovely energy; she was so friendly, and both of them acted as if they had been doing it for years. She was punctual and professional. I can’t recommend her enough.”

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. Pet care is a natural and rewarding part of my daily routine. As an animal keeper, I’m already dedicated to providing consistent, high-quality care for animals every day. 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: 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.

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. 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’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 a Level 3 Extended Diploma in Animal Management where I achieved the highest possible grade of triple Distinction*. This diploma gave me two years of experience caring for and training all types of animals. I also have work experience in various dog groomers, doggy daycare, a vet practice, and city farms. I also volunteer at university as a dog walker for elderly/disabled people. I've had both dogs and cats for my whole life and care greatly about their welfare! I am also studying bioveterinary science at university where I have done projects focusing on animal welfare. I am currently a student who is on summer break until October with no prior commitments so have plenty of free time to care for, play with, and walk your pets! I will host pets safely in their home by following their routine, pet-proofing the space, monitoring their health, and communicating daily with the owner.
“We have just started working with Hannah and she has been fantastic, her communication and care for our dog is so clear and our dog seems to really enjoy his time with her. Will definitely recommend and keep using her services”
About: I have grown up with cats and dogs and I currently have two maincoons Minnie and buzz, they are mum and son. I run my own cleaning business and I also look after my clients furbabies when they are away or working long shifts, I have built up a good relationship with both clients and their pets. Because I run my own business I am able to work my schedule around any pets I need to care for which makes it flexible. As my job already requires high levels of trust I have keys for my clients homes so I am able to tend to their pets.

About: I’ve grown up around different breeds of dogs all of my life, friends and family always rely on me to look after their fur babies whenever they need and I have trained my family dogs from puppies. I have also dog sat different types of dogs, from puppies to older in age and from smaller breeds to big friendly giants as seen in my photos. Stays with me consists of, walking, playing, feeding, sleepovers and of course lots of cuddles🥰 I know that leaving your dog with someone new can feel daunting, so I’m more than happy to keep you updated with messages and photos during their stay, so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry friend is happy and being well looked after. I also offer meet & greets prior to your dogs stay 🐾📸 I work from home Monday - Fridays but my hours are very flexible meaning I can adapt to your pooches schedule and it also allows plenty of time to play, go for walkies and for cuddles & loves. I have a good sized back garden with lots of grass for playing, ball throwing and of course, to do their business! It is secured with new fencing all around, to ensure safety. I am at home all day to make sure your dog has company and I am happy for your dog to have free range of my living room/kitchen area which is spacious and can fit a crate if desired.

“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!”
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.
“Erminia is absolutely brilliant! Dotty my cockerpoo had an amazing time whilst in her care. Dotty settled straight away and I received updates and photos which was lovely. Highly recommened for anyone looking for someone to look after their dogs. Thanks Erminia!!”
“Darcy was really well cared for by Lorretta and her Family. She has come home very happy and tired from all the fun. Thanks Lorretta for taking such good of our Fur baby we know she can be a handful. Thanks for the photos and updates it put us at ease knowing she was okay and settled in.”
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.
“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.”
“Maestro had the best 2 day holiday ever! He was really spoilt by Sarah - and her family! He had lots of walks and a lovely trip out. Sarah sent us lots of messages and photos so we weren't at all concerned about leaving him! He looked really happy in all the photos and came away ready for a good sleep! Thank you, Sarah ! You enabled us to be able to enjoy my birthday trip to the zoo without worrying about Maestro!”

“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!”
“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”
“Tiffany and her partner were absolutely amazing with my dog, Edi. From the moment we met them, it was clear how caring and attentive they both are. They took such great care of him and made him feel completely at home, which gave me real peace of mind while I was away. I will definitely be bringing him back again, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for a fantastic dog sitter. Diolch 🥰”
“Sarita was amazing with out puppy. It was the first time leaving her but she had the best time. We had daily updates of what she was up to and felt relaxed that she was in safe hands.”
About: I have looked after dogs for just over 5 years, frequently looking after my parent’s Labrador and beagle and my Aunties French Bulldogs. I have also done payed work looking after dogs and cats for family friends. I have recently graduated from university and am looking for extra work doing something I love! I have a large house with lots of garden space and a full UK drivers licence making me available for walks, drop-ins and pet care. I am currently not working, so I have plenty of availability and flexibility for pet care. I can offer walks, drop-in visits and pet boarding throughout the week. I’m happy to work around each pet’s usual routine and make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise and company. I have a large garden with plenty of space for dogs to enjoy, although it is not fully secure, so I would always supervise pets closely and would not allow them to roam freely outside. I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual routine and any specific instructions you provide. I understand that every dog is different and will make sure they are comfortable, safe and well cared for. I also have a full driving licence, giving me flexibility for walks and visits.
