1. Andrea C.
“Andrea has been taking care of my beloved Border Terrier/Jack Russell cross for over 3 years now. It’s so reassuring to know that when work demands, that she has a home from home to go and stay at, where she’s treated as one of the family. I often get updates and videos of the stay which helps me miss her that little bit less, whilst reassuring me that she’s having an enjoyable time whilst away from home.”


2. rebecca h.
“We have 2 collie x dogs that Rebecca has walked frequently for us and also looked after them while we have been on holiday. She is incredibly responsible and caring. We have always found get to be trustworthy and incredibly conscientious in looking after our dogs and our home. We couldn’t have asked for anyone better to look after our dogs. I would highly recommend.”

4. Danielle S.

“Danielle was kind enough to accept us last minute, and saved the day when I desperately was looking for someone to take care of IO. She sent me some photos during the walk, my puppy looks happy and smiling, that is the best sign that he enjoyed the walk with Danielle and felt safe. Will definitely reach out to her again. Thanks you so much Danielle!”

7. Hollie K.
About: Welcome to our family and dog friendly home! I am available for boarding, dog walking and dog sitting day services. I have 3 older children (7-12), and 2 dogs at home; an old slow pug and a lively sprocker! Both dogs are v.friendly and enjoy the company of other dogs. I have a large rear enclosed garden and access to many road or country walks. I have a well set out space for any muddy pups that may need to dry off, and the dogs are welcome throughout the house. I am fully insured and genuinely really enjoy each dogs unique personality! As I am based from home, I have a flexible approach to dog walking and dog care. It means that dogs are not left alone for any extended period of time and they have great access to both walks and outside space throughout the day. All dogs are catered for based on their individual needs, whether this be meal requirements, feeding or sleeping separately where required and walks in line with their capability. For example, our old pug only likes a small walk around the park but the sprocker likes to go for hours! As we have a large rear enclosed garden there is plenty of space to play and easy access for toilet breaks. Dogs have full access throughout the home and are treated as part of the family during their stay.

“Sofi and Dave thank you once again, you are so reliable and kind. Buster enjoyed his walk with you and the photos and update received of his little adventure were great. Looking forward to using you again in the future 🐶”


9. Lindsey C.
About: My name is Lindsey, I’ve always had little dogs in my home since I was born, so I’m a very experienced. I’ve had my own chihuahua for 6 years now, Buffy is my substitute baby! She loves having her “cousins” over (my mum and dads dogs, which are also chihuahuas) I have 2 lovely cats who pay no attention to the dogs whatsoever! I have my mums dog over lots, she’s a chihuahua too, she’s a very needy little dog, always wants a treat for just stepping outside! My cats are very calm, if they want to be left alone they know go take higher ground! I have a 2 year old boy who loves his pets, but not “loves” them too much! He’s totally normal around them, and they are good to him. I have my 12 year old daughter, the pets just magnetise to her, mainly because they know she won’t move once she’s playing her Xbox for a few hours. Buffy sleeps on my bed, but I always keep a puppy pad down at night just incase. Buffy loves walks to find squirrels in the park, she would love a friend to catch them with! I work Monday to Friday from 8am until 4pm, I only work a few minutes from my home and come home for lunch most days to let our dog out. I work in a school so I’m off for all of August and throughout the year. The house has a completely fenced garden, part of this is fenced off for the tiny human so he doesn’t walk into anything he shouldn’t! There is a piece of real grass specifically for the dogs!


10. Vicky C.
About: Despite currently being unable to have a dog of my own, I’ve been walking and caring for others’ dogs for many years as I love spending time with them and find the whole experience very enjoyable, and a great excuse to discover new areas. I volunteered for two years at an animal sanctuary back home in Norfolk where there were a variety of dogs of numerous breeds and sizes, many who were reactive/had behavioural issues. As well as friends and family, I’ve also helped care for work colleagues’ dogs and those in my local area, covering many breeds such as Labradors, French Bulldogs, Cocker Spaniels, terriers, and an Akita to name just a few :) Besides walking, this has included: feeding, bathing, light grooming (brushing/filing nails) and administering medication I currently work full-time but am usually available 3 weekday lunchtimes a week, as well as most evenings and weekends. I will always try to be as flexible as possible to accommodate differing needs. I’m more than happy to accommodate your dog’s current routine/preferences, and will discuss these with you prior to our first walk, e.g. no dogs/no off lead/loves to play fetch etc/can or can’t have treats etc


11. Ash R.
“Ash has a real connection with all animals, but especially dogs. Ash always puts the needs of dogs first and is kind, gentle and patient. Ash obviously really enjoyed being around pets and they obviously trust Ash back. Ash is very trustworthy and reliable and I would not trust anyone else with our dogs (who are family to use!).”


12. Molly L.
About: With over 15 years of experience caring for dogs, I offer a warm, home-based environment where your pup will feel like part of the family. As a work-from-home mum of two (ages 6 & 10), I provide round-the-clock attention, plenty of companionship, and daily walks with my own dog, Rudy, a friendly 6-year-old mini dachshund who is in his element with other dogs. Whether your pup loves playtime, snuggles, or just a calm space to relax, I tailor care to their needs. Your furry friend will be in safe, loving hands! 🐾💛 My day revolves around a pup-friendly routine, ensuring plenty of attention and activity for your fur baby! Mornings start with the school run (8–9 AM), followed by a dog walk in the 118-acre park next door. I then work from home until 3 PM, meaning your pup will have company all day with plenty of wee breaks whenever needed. After the afternoon school run, there's time for more play, cuddles, and relaxation before the evening wind-down. On weekends, we love getting out in nature as much as possible, so dogs in our care can enjoy long walks in the woods and local parks with us, perfect for adventure-loving doggos! Your dog’s comfort and safety are my top priorities. My home features a fully fenced, secure garden for safe outdoor play, and inside, there’s plenty of space (including cosy sofas for snuggles!). I take regular walks in the park next door and tailor care to each dog’s needs, whether they love playtime, company, or a quiet spot to relax. With 15+ years of experience and a friendly resident dachshund, Rudy, your pup will be in a loving, home-from-home environment.


13. Kara O.
“Kara often looks after my 3 cats at home, one being elderly, and she cares for them all equally. She not only feeds them but sits with them for a while and shows them lots of affection. I have every trust in Kara looking after my cats. She cleans up after them as well and just takes excellent care of them. She is trustworthy ,reliable and kind to all animals.”


14. Poppy K.
“Poppy is a wonderfully kind soul who adores animals! She has taken an animal care course through college and knows much about what is good for many animals physically and mentally. Our family dog Bella adores Poppy and is so excited when she visits and I'm sure the same will be true with your pets!”


15. Asna S.
About: I've always loved dogs and have taken care of them since I was a child. My first dog was a puppy we rescued, a mini dachshund. I've also taken care of senior dogs and given them the care they require. I'm a student and have lots of free time to play with pets. I'm available on Mondays, Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. I'm currently not doing any boarding but I'm happy to do pet sitting at yours. I'll have your pets safety as my priority. When pet sitting at a client's home, I'll make sure to adhere to all the instructions given to me. I'll ensure that the pets feel safe and happy with me while their owners are away.


16. Lucy R.
About: I have spent a significant portion of my life caring for animals. Since my mother is a breeder of dogs and cats, I have accumulated many years of experience with both. From assisting with newborn puppies to tending to aging cats, I've been involved in it all. I also have my own cherished fur baby named Lulu, a Persian cat who means everything to me. I understand the importance of trusting someone with your beloved pet. My responsibilities include cleaning litter boxes and administering medication. I currently have a job where i can choose my hours of work so can easily fit around you. I only ask to walk dog while it is light outside. I will feed your pet, change their water, play with them, clean the litter trays, give any necessary medication, and provide plenty of cuddles. Additionally, I will water your plants and ensure that your home remains safe and secure while you’re away.


17. Fynn K.
“Further to your recent email, I am writing to say that Fynn would make a very good pet sitter/dog walker and would give great customer service. All his life he has had dogs in the family and looked after them well. He has shown great care and love for my dogs too. I would fully trust him to be left in charge of my pets and show them the love and care they deserve.”
