About: Hi, I'm Caitlin, a new sitter and I am a huge dog lover with over 14 years of experience caring for my own pups! Unfortunately my fur babies have reached the rainbow bridge now and so I have so much love and affection to give! Over the years, I've raised and looked after two of my own fur pups, as well as multiple friends/family pets, giving me firsthand experience in providing the love, attention, and care that all dogs need. I understand that every dog has their own unique personality and needs, and I will always tailor my care to fit their routine. Your pup will be treated like family, because that's what they deserve! I have experience with dogs at all sizes and ages, and I am also able to administer any oral medication that might be necessary (even if it’s hidden in a yummy treat!) I'd love to meet your fur baby and give them the best loving care possible. I work night shifts on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, but I have plenty of time on my days off to provide attentive, loving care for your pups! My main availability is Tuesday-Thursday but still feel free to message if your inquiry is out of these days. I respect your fur baby’s space and will stick to their familiar routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions you usually provide. I live on a ground floor flat with my partner that has direct access to the outdoors, so potty breaks will be no issue!

“Carol was lovely looking after my dog Milo. Carol sent me messages, photos and videos throughout the day. Milo had a great time with her dog Milo I would definitely recommend 😀”

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life. Coming from a very dog loving family I’ve had a lot of experience with different breeds from Shih tzus to Dobermans. For years now I’ve been taking care of dogs for friends and neighbours, walks while they’re at work or longer periods while they go on holidays. Now that I’ve moved to a different city I miss daily walks with my dogs, so Rover is the perfect solution! I have a lot of free time everyday, so I would love to fill up my days with some walks. I’m currently a university student meaning I have a lot of free time! I can fit the pet care around my lectures which isn’t a problem as I only have a couple hours of lectures each week with most days completely free! So I am nearly always and I also have all my weekends free! I will follow any instructions you give me to keep the usual routine your dog follows while pet sitting in your home. I want this to be a good experience for both the dog and owner so whatever the owners preferences are I’ll do my best to fulfill them. I send frequent photo updates of your dog and how everything is going to keep you relaxed while you are away from your pet!

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: 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. My partner, Tom, often joins me on these adventures and he’s a dog lover too! 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 work from home 3 days a week so am usually available all day/lunchtimes when I’m at home, 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

“Rudy had a lovely time in Christine's care, and we couldn't be more grateful! She made sure to send us regular updates and photos, which was really thoughtful. Would thoroughly recommend!”

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life. Growing up with them has given me a natural understanding of their needs, behaviors, and unique personalities. Whether it’s going for long walks, playtime at the park, or just keeping your pup company while you're away, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for. I'm currently working part time and have a plenty of time to take care of your pet and provide care, love they need. I have a park nearby for walks and play time.

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.

About: My friends say that I love animals more than people. I believe they are God's voiceless creatures. You can be sure that I will take excellent care of them. I’m retired, so I have plenty of time to spend with your beloved companions all day long. Besides, they are a true source of life and joy for me. I have a spacious, fenced-in backyard, and I never leave your pets alone — not even in the garden. Safety comes above all else when it comes to your pets.

“Maisy was a really terrific sitter. Replied to our messages and also was able to step in at late notice which was much appreciated. Brian clearly loved exploring and somewhat rearranging her garden and had rather made himself at home when we arrived to collect him. At no point did we have any concerns and we expect Brian to spend more time in this comfortable Northampton home in the coming weeks. Thank you from Brian, Kerry and Paul.”
