About: I’ve grown up around dogs and cats since my childhood. I’ve had many pets of all ages, adapting care to meet each of their needs attentively ! I can work from home so I am pretty much free and available any time on any day. I work until 4 on weekdays only with a lot of flexibility to provide all the care I need to. It’s not a barrier in caring for your pets at all, so I'm here should you need 24/7 care too. I care for pets safely in their own home, following routines closely to build trust and ensure a comfortable, secure comfort while respecting owners’ instructions
About: I am a huge animal lover and have owned my own dogs all of my adult life. I grew up with dogs in our family too and always enjoyed helping to look after and walk them from a young age. I have walked and looked after dogs professionally for the last 3 years but have also looked after friends and neighbours dogs for many years as well. I can be flexible with dog walks and dog sitting services. I can provide drop in visits to your home and I can provide sitting services for dogs in mine. I can also do drop in services for cats, rabbits and other small animals. I have a safe, fenced garden to look after your precious pooches! My home backs on to country side which is ideal for lovely walks.
“Danielle is a breath of fresh air. I have two beautiful rescues but its still early days with them settling down and being over excitable. Danielle was so warm and reassuring even helping with some advice and tips that I had no doubt in my mind to trust my doggies with her. She sent lovely photos, clear updates and cared for them whilst I was away for work. She is exactly what I was looking for. I will be booking again, Danielle clearly loves what she does and has a passion for animals. The relief at leaving my doggies in her safe hands is more than I can put into words. Thanks so much Danielle.”
“Melissa was really great and came and met Cub before hand to make sure he was comfortable with her coming to the house. It really gave me peace of mind knowing that when she visited without me home Cub would be happy and excited. Will be asking Melissa to come back for sure.”
“Gosia looked after our 2 cats very well. We received photos and daily updates from her. Our cats seem to love her too. She did a great job and we will happily come back to her. ”
About: Growing up I’ve always been around dogs, from little chihuahua‘s to Great Danes. I frequently dog sit my grandparents yorkie when they go away, and shes old and a little reactive. I can confidently say I can care for any size dog, however if your pup is on the larger side and has reactivity issues Im not the sitter for you as I don’t have the experience or knowledge to safely care for your pup. That’s not to say big dogs are a complete no! As long as they’re friendly I’ll be happy to meet a few fur friend of any size I currently work Friday mornings part time, so plenty of time for your pets needs. Im flexible with how long I can spend with your pet, wether they need to be with me 24/7 (there is an option for them to be able to come to work with me, however it involves a lot of car travel. Please feel free to ask more about this!) or just need some company for an hour whilst your busy I currently have one cat, and shes very low maintenance. I get most of my experience from pet sitting for family members or volunteer work at shelters. I currently am able to pet sit in your own home and drop-ins for any animal, as well as solo walks for dogs (group walks can be discussed if the dogs know each other well or live together!) Your pet will be played with and loved, and above all, cared for
“Rob was fantastic! After a last minute request, Rob came round the same day to perform a meet and greet at such short notice and having been at work the full day! We were so grateful that he agreed to take care of Maverick for an hour the following day! We received some beautiful photos of Maverick during the visit and were kept well informed… it looks like Mav had a great time and trusts Rob already! We will definitely be using your services again Rob, thank you ☺️”
About: The reason i am a pet sitter is because I love getting to know and looking after all animals of many shapes and sizes. This is my only job and I have been looking after my mums and friends dogs and cats for years but have only been doing this professionally for a year. I am available 6 days of the week but wednesday. I have always gotten along and connected deeply with animals, even when just meeting them. I dont have any issues I've your pet is hyperactive, shy, not vaccinated, or not spayed, but I would like prior notice. You'll be glad to know i have never had to deal with an emergency situation but on the off chance i will collect your vettinary service and pet insurance if applicable. When it comes to anxious pets i will let them come to me in their own time and ofcourse let them do the sniff test first. If you are considering me for looking after your fur baby in my home, please note, my partner likes to come with me and pet sit beside me and if you are not comfortable with that please let me know. I live with my partner in a flat and we have two kittens who are shy to begin with but very welcoming to new animals. I can't wait to meet your gorgeous fluff babies, I would be very happy to hear from you and to be considered to treat, play, and look after your pets. This is my current job so I have plenty of availability and time to play with your dogs and cats. I am available for all the pet care you need. I have a spacious and open living/dining room and my bedroom door is always open when boarding for pets, I work with my partner as its always good to have extra support if needed. If your pet needs crating, I dont provide that in my home and cannot do this, if I am looking after your pet in your home I am able to follow your pets routine, whatever it may entail.
“Really happy knowing our cat will be well looked after by Scarlett, already a repeat customer and will definitely be again. Great communication and lovely photos sent, thank you!”
About: As a dedicated pet lover and proud owner of a lively Maltese named Luca, I understand the joy and companionship pets bring into our lives. Since welcoming Luca, I’ve discovered the true happiness animals add to my day-to-day life, and I often find myself connecting more with pets than people. Caring for Luca has taught me patience, understanding, and the importance of nurturing a pet's unique personality and needs. This deep connection drives my motivation to become a pet sitter, where I can extend the same level of love and care to other pets as I do with my own. I know how important it is for pet owners to feel confident that their pets are safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while they’re away. With me, your pets will not only be in trusted hands but will feel like they are a part of my own family. Pet care is woven seamlessly into my week, making it just as essential (and enjoyable) as my morning coffee! Working from home means Luca is my little “coworker” most days, keeping me company and reminding me to take breaks (which usually means playtime or cuddles). Tuesdays and Wednesdays are my "away days," but I've made sure those are full of extra treats, comfy spots, and toys for Luca to enjoy while I'm onsite. On all other days, I’m here to provide all the attention he could want, from belly rubs to outdoor adventures. For other pets I’d be caring for, I bring the same level of attention and love. I work around their schedules, whether it’s feeding time, walks, or just time to snuggle. My daily routine with pets is as fun and flexible as they need, with Luca as the best assistant anyone could ask for! Living in a cozy one-bedroom home with a fenced garden gives me a perfect setup for pet care! The garden is a safe spot where pets can roam freely and explore without any worry. I love that there are parks nearby, so daily walks and a change of scenery are always on the agenda—great for stretching legs and sniffing new scents. Inside, I make the space as welcoming as possible with comfy spots to lounge, plenty of toys, and some tasty treats for rewards or just to brighten their day. With Luca’s stash of toys and our little routines, pets here can enjoy a mix of indoor comfort and outdoor fun, all with a loving companion to keep them company. Whether they’re looking for playtime or just a quiet spot to relax, they’ll feel right at home!
About: I have taken care of many dogs and other animals , however I don't think my lab when I was a kid counts. I have a terrier mix who is reactive I have helped care for since she was 6 months old, she is now 9. A rescue and my beloved baby. I also recently had my family buy a German Shepard who is currently 8 months old, and consistently help to keep her entertained, many fun walks alongside my Terrier mix and overall just have had the great experience of watching her grow into her personality! I also have a cat who has lived with me for the past 2 years and my sister recently got rats which I also help care for. Back in April 2026 I looked after my uncle's three schnauzer's, one of which was a diabetic and needed insulin ever meal, and also 2 needed medication every day also , so if you have dogs with health needs I am more then able to accommodate that ! And at the end of May 2026, I looked after my aunts dogs, a cockapoo and a crazy but lovable cocker spaniel. Many walks with those two spent mostly getting soaked and throwing a very wet ball. I have no work currently, and if I do get work it'll be part time! Looking after pets is something I really enjoy , and I believe any and all pets should be able to get the care they deserve ! Currently I have no other obligations, so I am free to come look after your pets whenever you need. Keep to routines the pets know! It can be confusing for a pet to have someone they don't fully know coming out look after them so I know sticking to the routines they are use too is a big way to help them feel more comfortable and safe. Same with if a pet has any medical issues and such, I would stick to routines with that too so they get what they need daily. Ensuring I have my eye on them when walking or if they out in a garden to make sure their safe is something else I ensure I do .
“Top class from the start with thorough preparation and excellent service while we were away. My boys were fed & fussed well. The photos sent really helped with the anxiety of leaving them behind. Definitely book Forunata again and recommend to others 💫”
About: I’ve had dogs and pets in my life since a child. I have two dogs myself that are 7 and 8 years old. I have helped family and friends with dog walking, feeding and boarding I currently do not work so I will have plenty of time during the week to pet sit, walk, feed and play with your pets I have a fenced off garden that your dogs can run around freely in. I’m happy to crate them at mine if this is what you prefer or happy for them to have a dog bed or sleep on the sofa
“Anna was a perfect solution for us . She is caring and efficient. Our cats absolutely loved her . We have already booked her for our longer holiday later in the year. She made our break so much more enjoyable knowing our cats were being cared for so well and not just fed and left. She sent us photos and updates every visit to reassure us. Best care ever from a lovely lady”
“Eve has been a professional from start to finish, punctual and proactive in communication re drop-ins on my two older dogs. Eve's support made my family feel at ease knowing our dogs are in safe hands. Cannot recommend Eve enough and for sure will book further support when will be going away.”
About: I have dog sat for my friends and i have also walked my friends dogs for them quite regularly. I have also looked after family dogs for days in a row. I am currently a primary school assistant, however i work one hour a day usually in the morning every week, i also do event work but this is not consistent and normally work in the evenings finishing around 10-11pm. I also work in a cafe every saturday starting at 9am and finishing at 4pm. I can easily care for your pets as I have had pets of my own, my family is also very pet orientated and have quite a few dogs within my extended family which I am able to look after and make them feel comfortable.
“Polly was great! very responsive on messages and our cat is very happy with her visits, will definitely be reaching out to polly for any future cat visit needs. Greatly appreciate it!”
About: I grew up around dogs and love to walk. Happy to look after both active and subdued dogs, experience looking after chatty Dachshunds to bouncy cocker spaniels. Have looked after dogs from puppy till the later stages, and understand the challenges of both. Dog First Aid Trained. Currently work at home 3 days a week, available for dog sitting, dog walking and drop ins, also available over weekends. Available for early drop off or late collections. Dog and child free home, secure garden and fields near by to walk dogs. I see dogs as part of the family, happy with them on the sofa and on the bed but equally happy to crate or leave to sleep down stairs.

Lisa has looked after our dog Margot on several occasions - dropping in to see her when we have been out for long periods. This has sometimes been at short notice, which has been much appreciated. Lisa gives great updates, lots of notes and pictures and communication is always quick and easy. Margot loves Lisa and always has a great time. Would highly recommend Lisa to anyone!
This was my first experience with a pet sitter and I was anxious to leave my pets. Adrienne was amazing since the start she tried to understand their needs and how we would make Boston get used to her. She communicates super well and seriously has put my mind at ease. My pets absolutely loved her. She was gentle, patient, and made my dog feel totally comfortable during my time away. It’s such a relief knowing my pets are happy and relaxed while I’m away. Highly recommend — the whole experience has been smooth, caring, and stress-free. I will definitely book again with Adrienne Thank you so much for all the support to my pets I am forever grateful
Caitlin come to provide company for Albie as he has separation anxiety and struggled to be left alone for any length of time. Albie really seemed to enjoy the time spent with Caitlin, which helped him to relax in the house while I was out. Caitlin was so nice, very professional, reliable and super punctual. I would definitely recommend.
Rob was fantastic! After a last minute request, Rob came round the same day to perform a meet and greet at such short notice and having been at work the full day!
