“It was mikeys first time away from home. Sandy made us feel better by keeping us updated with photos of his day. He enjoyed his stay very much will definitely stay with Sandy again 👍🏻”


“Jana was an absolute lifesaver! She agreed to look after my dog Kairo at the very last minute and was incredibly easygoing and flexible throughout. Communication was smooth, and I felt completely at ease leaving him in her care. When I picked Kairo up, he was clearly happy and relaxed — a sure sign he had a great day. I'm so grateful for her help and would definitely trust her with Kairo again in the future. Highly recommended!”


“We left Bailey for a day with Nadine and Michael- From arriving to leaving, Bailey was welcomed and we felt he was very well looked after. We had regular welcome updates with photos which helps put your mind at ease to enjoy your day out. Upon collecting Bailey he was awarded a rosette for Good behaviour and a wonderful goodie Welcome bag which was most unexpected - Overall I would totally recommend Nadine and Michael”

About: For over 20 years, I’ve provided personal pet care rooted in love, patience, and commitment. Having cared for our own dog from playful pup to wise senior—right through to fifteen and a half cherished years—I understand what it means to truly support a dog throughout every life stage. What sets me apart? I offer compassionate, tailored care based on real-life experience. Whether it’s building trust with nervous pups, keeping routines for older dogs, or simply being a calming presence, my goal is to make every dog feel safe, happy, and loved. I also take pride in caring for pets as individuals, recognising the quirks and comforts that make them feel at home. Based in Abington, I’m here to offer local, reliable pet sitting that’s grounded in empathy and understanding. With “Wags, Plays & Stays,” your dog is welcomed not just as a guest—but as part of the family. - 🦴 Daily walks and exercise routines tailored to your dog’s energy level - 🥣 Feeding and fresh water according to your pup’s schedule and preferences - 🐾 Playtime and companionship, from energetic pups to relaxed seniors - 💊 Medication support (as needed) - 🧘 Gentle care for nervous or elderly dogs, with patience and understanding - 🛋️ Home visits and drop-ins to maintain routine and comfort - 📸 Visit updates with messages and photos, keeping you connected - 🌟 Support across life stages, from puppy basics to senior needs After being recently made redundant, I chose to focus on what truly matters to me—companionship, community, and care. Pet sitting isn't just a new venture; it’s a heartfelt return to the things I’ve always valued. Having looked after our own dog for over 15 years, from playful pup to loving senior, I’ve experienced the full journey of pet care in a deeply personal way. What I bring is lived experience: patience, empathy, and attentiveness. My care is always tailored to suit each pet’s personality and needs, with a calm and reassuring approach that puts them first. Now based in Abington, I offer reliable, flexible services for both dogs and cats through Wags, Plays & Stays.

I leave things tidy and calm, ensuring pets feel at ease while you're away. 🚶 On walks, I choose routes based on each dog’s temperament and needs—avoiding busy areas for anxious pups and sticking to secure leads or harnesses with close supervision. Above all, I offer trustworthy, heart-led care, right here in Abington.

Absolutely! We have a secure, fully fenced garden that’s ideal for play, fresh air, and safe outdoor time during both day care and boarding stays. Can you accommodate crate-trained dogs? Yes—we’re happy to provide crate space if your dog is used to that comfort. Just let us know their usual routine and setup so we can recreate it here. What about dogs who sleep at the end of the bed? If your pup prefers snuggling near you at night, we’re happy to continue that routine. Our priority is to make them feel relaxed and at home, however they’re most comfortable.

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!

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!

“Vicky and her partner looked after Basil for the day. They took really good care of him and Basil was super relaxed and comfortable in their home. Vicky sent lots of updates and photos throughout the day too - Basil looked like he had a lovely day. Thank you again Vicky!”


“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.”


“Mustafa and his wife were great dog sitters for my male 10 month old old border collie cross pup Jerry today. I’ve never used this service before so I was a little nervous, but as soon as he went into the house and garden I could tell he felt very at home & I felt relaxed and comfortable to leave Jerry with him. Mustafa obviously has a great love for animals and I’d happily use his services again.”


“Stacey and her family were brilliant with Milo. He seemed very happy to go to them and we were so happy with constant updates and contact that we had throughout the day. We would definitely love to go back to Stacey whenever we need help with our fluff ball Milo. Thank you once again Stacey x”


“Julia and Ged looked after Otto and were absolutely brilliant. They gave him the space he needed to settle and were really patient with him. They took him on a lovely long walk where he could get some energy out and have a nice time. Would recommend highly and they are lovely people too. Millie their dog is lovely as well.”


“Ziggy (our dog) had a wonderful day with Diana. Communication was excellent, well organised and she was very accommodating. I can not rate her enough. See you on Saturday morning with Ziggy.”


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.
