About: We have been fostering dogs for around 6 years now and have also adopted 3 dogs of our own. Our dogs welcome every foster dog we have had and easily adapt. i am from a medical and caring background so you can be sure your loving dog is in safe hands. We have 3 lovely dogs and now I'm only part time ( just 2 hours in the morning from 6-8am) I have plenty of time to take care of your pet. We treat all pets as if they are our own, and include them into any activity we undertake. Our garden is fully enclosed and the safety of your pet is our promise to you.

About: I have taken care of my pointer since he was a baby. I am also a qualified dog groomer, and have confidence when handling dogs. I currently work part time, so I am available during the day and at evenings. I am also flexible to offer weekend doggy care. Any availability you are looking for, I will always try to cater for. I will discuss any requirements beforehand, such as on lead/off lead walking. Also home safety when I am sitting, this will be required to be shared by dog owner. I like to know as much information about your doggy , what they like, what they don't like etc.

“Sam looked after our cats and dogs. He was professional and provided a great service. He and Melissa own a cat and dog so they know their stuff! Highly recommend their service”

About: I have looked after pets informally for the last year for friends and neighbours. I have a level 3 diploma in animal management and I'm happy to look after other animals as well as dogs and cats. I am currently looking after a puppy for a few hours each week whilst their owner is at work. I have 2 medium sized dogs of my own and I have had dogs since I was a small child. One of these now has arthritis so I am also used to dealing with older dogs. I help out in a local pet shop so I am familiar with all different types of pet food. I would love the opportunity to look after your pets and give them pawsitive care. I am fully insured and have references available if you would like them. I am looking to start to build up a client base as I would love to do this type of work full-time. I have recently finished college so I'm available most of time, except when I have prior commitments. I am trustworthy and will be able to attend to your pets needs in their own home. I will be able to offer overnight stays, or visits to let your pets out or take them on a walk. I promise to give them the highest degree of care that I can, so that your furry friends are looked after while you are away.

“Was grateful to Brad who answered our call at relatively short notice. He is punctual and very clear in his attitude towards his service. We couldn’t have asked for more. Little Jim requires a fair bit of attention which he received. Wouldn’t hesitate to use Brad again. Thank you.”

About: I always do my best to duplicate the manner and behaviour of the owner with their pet, to maintain familiarity, discipline, trust and love, and help the dog know they are being cared for I am a single guy, working from home much of the week, so have a lot of availability and can be flexible around your needs Can walk and feed them at their regular times. Will accompany them in the house and garden so they will be watched and cared for at all times

“Leanne was absolutely wonderful! From the very first message, she was kind, professional, and so easy to communicate with. During the stay, she kept us updated with lovely messages and photos, which made us feel completely at ease while we were away. Our doggy was so happy, relaxed, and clearly very well cared for. Everything went perfectly, and it’s such a comfort to know we’ve found someone we can trust. X We’ll definitely be booking with Leanne again in the future. Highly recommend! ❤️🐾”

About: Prices may vary based on client needs and level of care. Walks and drop-ins offered at a standard hourly rate. I have experience of working with animals of all shapes and sizes, from cows and horses to axolotls and guinea pigs. I enjoy getting to know their unique personalities. I have experience with nervous or reactive pets and use desensitisation and counter-conditioning with positive re-enforcement to help them feel calm, confident and accomplished. I’m especially passionate about enrichment, using games, puzzles, and activities that engage an animal’s natural skills. Enrichment not only keeps pets mentally and physically stimulated, but also strengthens the bond between pet and carer and helps prevent boredom related or problem behaviours. I aim to provide care that keeps animals happy, confident, and thriving while you’re away. I am extremely passionate about animals and will do everything I can to make their experience the best it can be. From researching new innovative ideas to combatting their anxieties, or new fun games to play to battle boredom and creating training plans to giving the best cuddles! 🐾💛 A Little Piece of My Heart — And Why Animals Mean Everything to Me I’ve always felt a deep connection with animals, as if they understand me in ways that words often can’t. Their gentle nature, calming presence, and unwavering loyalty have been my rock, providing comfort, connection, and joy throughout my life. They have a way of reaching places in us that need healing, understanding, and peace. As a neurodivergent person, my bond with animals has been especially profound. They accept me without judgment, offering a sense of belonging and calm in overwhelming situations. They’ve helped me regulate, reconnect, and find peace on days when the world felt too loud. Animals are not just my passion, they’re my safe haven, my joy, and the reason I started Chester's Angel. I wanted to create a pet care service that’s more than just standard care. I strive to offer tailored support that fits your pet’s individual needs, honouring the unique bond between you and your pet. I volunteer with various organisations on a part time basis including Derbyshire Mind and The Cinnamon Trust so I have a very flexible routine perfect anyone looking for a new pet nanny or walker. I am able to offer house and pet sits in the home for both long and short stays, and will send daily 'pupdates' for you to enjoy, so you can be assured that your pet is in the best hands! I offer walks both long and short based on the pets individual needs and preferences. One hour is offered as standard to both walks and drop ins. I like to offer experiences rather than a generic 'walk' or drop in so will incorporate enrichment in everything I do. I will take your pets on a sniffari or play games with them. I love to incorporate enrichment into everything that I do from visiting new places, to meeting new dogs for a playdate. Every package is bespoke to your pets needs, and tailored with you and your pet in mind. If you book with me for a stay, I will offer a proposed plan in which I will outline everything that I will do while with your pets. From feeding and medication schedule, to places we hope to visit together. I will endeavour to meet all your requests and will work with your pets on basic training and commands to ensure that we maintain consistency in their routines. I am not able to offer boarding in my accommodation due to insurance

About: With 6 years of experience caring for my own Greyhound and regularly looking after my neighbor’s dog, I provide loving, reliable care you can count on. I work in the office two days a week and from home the other three, which gives me plenty of time to play with and care for your pups! I’m available for boarding on weekends and on weekdays when I’m working from home or after work hours. At my home, your pup will enjoy a secure, fenced garden and the company of my friendly resident dog. I make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved—whether it’s playtime, walks, or just relaxing together. I follow your care instructions closely to keep your dog’s routine consistent and stress-free.

“This was the second time we left Willow in Jayne and Brian's excellent care, this time for just over 2 weeks. We could see form the daily video and message "pupdates" what a fabulous time Willow was having❤️. Jayne and Brian also looked after our house really well and we came back to a very happy and relaxed dog as well as a clean and tidy home. Because of Jayne and Brian we were able to really enjoy our holiday as we could see our furbaby was so well looked after. We can't recommend them highly enough - and we have already booked a repeat stay.”

About: I’ve been looking after dogs, cats and small animals in people’s homes for the past 3/4 years. I am fully qualified in animal care and have also worked in professional environments like catteries and doggy day cares. I work full time so any drop ins and walks can be scheduled in to work round this, and house sittings can take place on weekends :) I always keep owners updated on how your pets are doing, what they've done on our walk or my visit, and stick to their daily schedule as much as I can for them and you! :)

“Theo has been absolutely amazing whilst me and my mum went away for a few nights. It was our first time leaving our cats + budgies home alone since getting them and Theo calmed our nerves with so many pictures (we requested as many as possible and Theo delivered) We can’t thank you enough and hope to use you again soon!! xx”

About: Together, my partner Chris & I have over 20+ years of looking after dogs. We have trained 3 dogs since puppies between us, so can manage and enjoy any aged dog. We have looked after dogs of all temperaments and have experience with rescue dogs. Both of our cockapoos love doggy friends, so your dog will need to be ok with other dogs company. Narla is very playful & Bonnie is quite reserved but so loving. We both work full time, so would only be able to pet sit over the weekend from Friday to Sunday and bank holidays. Our weekends are dedicated to taking our dogs on satisfying, interesting walks (for all of us!). We have an enclosed garden with a 6 foot fence, so your dog will be secure. We also have a crate if your dog needs this over night. We can also sleep the dogs in separate rooms if needed.

About: I have owned a dog all my adult life and come from a family of dog lovers, we have all different breeds and sizes which as a family we all care for together, we often meet up and socialise them together. Having had dogs myself I have cared for them from puppy to their final years. I have 2 Frenchies and a cat of my own, after recently being made redundant I decided to work for myself dog walking as I love Dogs, walking, and understand the stress this takes on working dog parents. I offer a free meet up for all new dogs and complete a questionnaire to understand your pets specific needs. I offer a variety of walking services all listed on my website.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for the most of my life. Recently got a dog that I nearly solely take care of. Excellent at keeping dogs entertained and happy. I’m currently working part time so can care for all dogs most of the time. Going to be starting new work soon so that will cut into weekdays untill approximately 2pm. Keep the dog out of areas they shouldn’t be in. And make sure they don’t make a mess and let them out to play and do their business constantly.

About: I’m a part time dog trainer and have worked in rescues so I’ve seen the calmest to the most aggressive of dogs, your dog will be in safe hands with me as a walker/sitter due to the variety of temperaments I’ve cared for. As a part time dog trainer, I do a session in the morning with my clients and late afternoon, so I am free all day to give your pooch a nice long walk to stretch their legs and play with some toys! I cannot provide care in my home. When in the owners home, I provide daily updates via texts and videos of how your dog is doing, almost like a holiday dairy for them to fill you in on their activities from today.

“10 star service!!! Jackie was absolutely brilliant in looking after our spaniel Rolo on thd day of our daughters wedding. We had a meet beforehand which assured we had made a great choice. This was then proven with a punctual arrival. Great communication and 110% care and attention to make Rolo's day special too. Jackie instinctively knew how to care for Rolo while keeping him part of the wedding morning prep. She took Rolo on wonderful walks, fed him and sent pictures of Rolo's day which was a wonderful reassuring touch. Jackie also helped the wedding party depart our accommodation and said leave the tidying up to her. Absolutely wonderful genuine carer who helped make our day perfect. We may live 60 miles away but we will not blink in using Jackie again. THANK YOU so much Jackie your are a star 🌟 Andy and Louise”

“Georgina was great! She popped round for a meet before the sitting, she was friendly and asked important questions I wouldn’t have thought of. On the day she turned up on time, helped with Cleo’s medication and took her for walks. I had such peace of mind knowing she was at home. I would highly recommend!”

About: Having had dogs throwing life and having had my own for the past 10years and been a regular sitter for those of friends and family too I love the joy that a dog can bring to you home and your life overall. I really enjoy the time out and the mindfulness of walking a dog and in the comfort and care you get from them in return when chilling at home afterwards. Although full time employed I routinely work from home and a can adapt my day to suit the potential needs of any booking. I can work remotely while dog sitting in your home or arrange to walk your dog as part of my days routine. I would consider being your dog into my own home if they are sociable and gel with my own cocker poo Martha. I am caring and considerate and would respect your home as my own if caring for you dog in your own home. I would follow all instructions given. If bring them to my home I have a securely fenced garden should the care be in my own home. I also know of many wonderful walks int he area that are safe and dog friendly.
