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.
“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: I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs since I was around 8, from family pets to friends who needed somewhere for their dog to stay while they went away. I truly love these animals, I don’t think I’ve met a dog I didn’t adore. My girlfriend and I both work from home for round the clock supervision, care and attention for your furry friend. Both of our schedules are completely flexible so your dog will want for nothing! We have a walled garden with room to be free and feel comfortable on a nicely sized detached property with no worry about your dog being cramped (and if they’re noisy, also no worry about disturbing neighbours 😂) We have a dog of our own who is chill and friendly and will be incredibly happy to keep yours company or give them space, like I said, he’s the chillest dog known to man.
About: I have experience maintaining a pet’s routine to help them feel safe and secure, including regular exercise, playtime, and companionship. I’m attentive to signs of stress or illness and always prioritize a pet’s comfort and safety. I also understand the importance of keeping owners updated and following specific care instructions closely. I am currently mostly at home. Therefore, I have plenty of time to play with your loved furry friend and to prioritise his needs and safety. I always prioritise a pet’s safety, comfort, and routine, I live alone in a one bedroom apartment with a large balcony with hight walls and there are no kids or other dogs. I take time to understand each pet’s specific needs, habits, and any instructions provided so I can create a familiar and stress-free environment.
“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 have taken care of many dogs and other animals over the years since i was 16. 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 10 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 can work with dog walking any dog of any size, having grown up walking dogs of all sizes all my life. I know about medical routines any dogs may need and can stick to them. Also with dog walking i know how to tire a dog out so they are happy without it being a stressful experience for them. 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. I am DBS checked and have insurance ! Also have basic pet first aid knowledge and i' on a course for pet sitting and dog walking. 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 .
“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 had pets all of my life and that’s not an exaggeration. Throughout my life I have been around many types of pets including lizards, snakes, hamsters and different breeds of dogs and cats. Personally I have raised 4 dogs in my life and too many cats ☺️. I have volunteered in shelters and on a farm, said hi to pretty much every dog I see and been to puppy classes and dog groups with my own dogs. I have looked after friends dogs when needed and I know not every dog is the same, they all have different needs and personalities and I’m excited to learn every single one. Right now, I'm on a six week break until September 3rd, which means I have quite an open availability for drop ins, long walks, or Day pet sitting. Starting in September, my work with school transport means I'll be free every weekday during my mid-day break from 10:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. (perfect for lunch-break visits) and anytime after 6:00 p.m. for evening care. I’m available to offer attentive, dedicated care for your pets to make sure they get plenty of love and attention. We will gladly spend time with them in your home, caring for them just as we would our own, and planning our day so all their needs are met. If your pets have any specific routines or requirements, I’m more than happy to follow them so they feel safe and content. On occasion, if my husband isn't home, I may pop out for short breaks to check on our own dogs, but I always plan this carefully so the pets in my care are safe, happy, and never left for long.

“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: 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!

“I would really recommend Briony, she was absolutely amazing with our Kitten Sooty. She sent me daily updates with photos which really put my mind at ease and allowed me to enjoy my holiday without worry. I could tell from the updates that my cat was very comfortable with her. She is a lovely person and I will definitely book again in the future. X ”

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.

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.

About: Hi, my name is Joshua and I have a great affection for all dogs that I have had the pleasure of meeting or owning. During my childhood, I had the pleasure of caring for a rottweiler, golden retriever, Shih Tzu, and pug whom I adored deeply. It was heartbreaking when I had to leave them behind when I moved to the UK. Over time I have gained vast experience in various dog-related services such as caring for pets, taking them on long or short walks, providing shelter, and to some degree, training as well. Additionally, I am proficient in administering medication to dogs of different ages and breeds. Do you have any particular requirements for your dogs? You need not hesitate to let me know. I am more than happy to welcome your pets onto my bed and couch but if you prefer otherwise, I respect your wishes. I guarantee that your pet's water bowl will always be full, and their overall health and happiness will be my top priority. I am currently working a part-time job, so I will have plenty of attention and time to give to your dog(s). I am available for boarding on weekdays and walks every day. Just let me know when you'd love me to meet your dog! I have a fenced yard in my apartment and also plenty of space in the house for your dog to play around but also just enough to keep an eye on, as your dog's safety is very important to me.

About: Hi! I’m a friendly, caring and reliable animal lover who has grown up around pets my whole life. I’ve always had dogs and have also cared for cats, hamsters and rabbits, so I’m very comfortable looking after all kinds of pets and understand that every animal has their own personality and needs. I’ve regularly dog-sat for neighbours, friends and family, including both day sits and overnight stays. More recently, I’ve also helped care for two new puppies in my family, giving me plenty of hands-on experience with the extra attention, patience and care puppies need. I genuinely love being around animals and would treat your pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, happy and well cared for while you’re away. I currently have a very flexible schedule, as I’m taking some time away from work to study Pilates and focus on building my own business. This gives me plenty of free time and flexibility throughout the week, which makes pet sitting a great fit for my lifestyle. I’m able to dedicate lots of time and attention to the pets I’m caring for, whether that’s daytime visits, longer stays or overnight sitting. I’m also able to be flexible around individual routines and can work around feeding times, walks and any specific care your pet needs. I really enjoy having animals around, so pet sitting is something I’d genuinely love to incorporate into my day-to-day life. I always aim to keep pets as close to their normal routine as possible, as I know this helps them feel comfortable and settled. I make sure they have regular toilet breaks, plenty of fresh water and lots of opportunities for play, exercise and stimulation throughout the day. I’m very happy to spend plenty of time keeping pets company, whether that’s playing with them, giving them cuddles or simply being around them so they don’t feel lonely. I’m also comfortable using crates when this is part of their usual routine and would always follow the owner’s instructions around crate time and sleeping arrangements. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual needs and personality, and I’m happy to follow their usual feeding, walking, sleeping and play routines. Most importantly, I want them to feel safe, happy and cared for while their owners are away.

Danielle was brilliant! So lovely and so friendly too. We needed a dog walker really last minute due to other people cancelling on us. She's been great with communication and accommodating what we needed. Simba🐶 warmed to her straight away and you can tell she really loves animals like theyre her own. Would be our first choice to use her again, and would definitely recommend! ☺️☺️

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.
