About: I’ve had family dogs my entire life and they really are a part of the family. Looking after and spending time with my dog is one of the highlights of my day. The saying dogs are a man’s best friend really is true. I have experience in puppy training and senior dog care and everything in between I currently work full time, Monday - Friday, starting my day at 9:30 and finishing at 5:30, with a 30 minute lunch break which I can take at any point during the day. My job is very flexible and I work in a very central Northampton office, meaning most places aren’t too far from me. I don’t have many other obligations so would be able to dedicate all my free time to looking after your furry friends. Your pets safety will be my top priority. I can easily but dogs and cats in crates is necessary. I am an extremely observant person and nothing goes unnoticed.

About: I’m patient, calm, and observant, which helps me notice small changes in behaviour or needs. I also have a flexible schedule and access to a car, so I’m available at short notice and can respond quickly in case of emergencies. Whether it’s a long walk, playtime, or quiet cuddles, I adapt to your pet’s routine and personality. I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care throughout the week. Whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening cuddles, I’m able to plan my day around each pet’s needs. Since I work independently and have access to a car, I can easily accommodate last-minute bookings or regular visits, depending on what suits you and your pet best. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or theirs, I always aim to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow the owner’s instructions closely to stick to their usual routine—whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, or quiet rest.

About: I can work and handle all breeds of dogs I have 3 rescue dog that each have different problems with others that I can manage and can accommodate other dogs with issues I have currently come back from uni and would like to use my degree ( zoology ) and help owners with their pets. I have 2 reptiles and 3 dogs of my own I have 3 dogs in my own home as well as 2 reptiles that I care for. I have also done 2 weeks of home sitting and drop in visits and dog walking for friends and family, as well as taking their pets to grooming appointments.

About: I’ve trained puppies, raised them and kittens. I am able to provide anything you need to make sure your beloved family member is looked after I work remotely and am free to care for your animals at anytime as long as there is a WiFi connection! Things are very relaxed so I have no issues getting up whenever to take your pet to the the bathroom or on a walk I’ll always make certain your pet is safe, on a lead, fenced in etc. nothing is more important than your pets safety to me, as a pet owner myself I completely understand

“Abbie was excellent with Basil and Peaches and was really brilliant to work with. Lots of pictures and updates and you can tell she really cared for our dogs - fully recommended.”


About: Taking care of dogs is something I very much enjoy and have been doing since I was 10. I’ve grown up with having 2 dogs of my own and always helped other family care for theirs. 3 years ago I got a dog of my own, therefore I’ve had practice in full time puppy training and care. I’m a full time student, this means that past 3pm on weekdays I have plenty of time to play with your pups and help you in keeping them healthy and entertained. Im openly available for over nigh sitting. I’m also fully available on most weekends if earlier times are what you are looking for. Ensuring your fur baby is kept entertained and safe will always be a top priority. They will never go hungry or thirsty around me and will have constant attention so they can’t do anything mischievous. Despite showing a lot of love to your dogs I will also be able to discipline when necessary such as putting them in a crate if needed.

“We were so scared leaving our 4 month whippet puppy along with our 5 year old asthmatic cat while we went to visit family in Italy for a week. We booked Danielle from The Arc and we really did not need to have those sleepless nights before we went. Danielle kept us updated throughout everything with amazing photos and little updates. It really reassured us that we made the right decision in choosing Danielle. Our puppy has even learnt loads more commands which is fantastic and totally unexpected. Danielle took care of our pets and our house like her own. Our pets were so calm when we got back and we even had a lovely baked gift as a welcome back. Danielle even offered if we wanted any essential shopping done for us getting back. Would we book again? 100% yes.. we already have.”


“Sarah and her daughter agreed to a last minute live-in sit for us after our arranged sitter left with no notice. Both were excellent with our dog, keeping to our routines and rules and so reassuring to our cats who were feeling very unsettled. They left the house exceptionally clean and tidy and provided updates every day. They didn't mind that my messages might arrive at 3am (time difference!) and when we thought we might be late back due to a time delay they were understanding and offered to remain until we got back to do a handover. Would 100% recommend and use again. Thank you both!”


About: I rescued a labrador who had a fab last 6 years of her life. More recently i'm dad to a very energetic rescued staffy. I frequently care and sit for my friends dogs, including a Spanish water dog and a rottweiler. Always happy to hear your house rules but more importantly instructions on how to specifically help care for your dog. I'm always willing to give them a walk too, will only treat the what you tell me to and follow your way of interacting with them 😊 I work full time but am free most Fridays and weekends to help pet sit and walk. I do have a staffy of my own but my wife cares for him when I'm out and vice versa. Our garden is fully closed off. Fenced 6ft high and bricked 6ft high so unless your dog has mad hops it's not going anywhere 😂

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!

“Reece was brilliant. He stepped in last minute to look after our Cavapoo and did a great job. He made us feel really comfortable and I’ve booked him again for a longer stay!”


“Sarah was great looking after our pooches - they’re not the easiest being rescues and Bobby and Poppy needing daily medication but Sarah took this in her stride and was happy to administer and take the time to let them warm up to her.”

Ieva P.
“She was absolutely amazing—responsible, kind, and incredibly attentive. From the moment they met, it was clear that she had a natural connection with my dog. She kept him happy, active, and well cared for, and I was consistently reassured with regular updates and photos. It was such a relief knowing he was in good hands. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone in need of a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. She truly went above and beyond.”


Riana C.
“Riana has regularly cared for my dogs, cat and house for extended periods of time. She is thoughtful, considerate and shows a genuine love for all the animals. My reactive rescue dog has developed a very positive relationship with Riana and this is very reassuring given his specific needs. Riana is happy to follow instructions regarding routines and nothing is ever too much trouble. I would highly recommend 😊”


Jock P.
“Jock is warm, kind, patient, and friendly, and is a natural with dogs. We have used Jock’s services on a number of occasions - including overnight care in our home. Our Colckapoo adores him and attaches himself to Jock as if he is his owner! I would not hesitate for a second to recommend Jock to look after your dog!”


Abbie H.

“Abbie was excellent with Basil and Peaches and was really brilliant to work with. Lots of pictures and updates and you can tell she really cared for our dogs - fully recommended.”


Ellina Q.
“Ellina has taken care of my 2 golden retriever dogs on countless occasions. She never fails to give them lengthy walkies with lots of playing and sniffing time. Within the home she’s always playing with them and giving Marley and Bella a nice caring time. She does more than simply watches them, she ensures that they are feeling entertained and not just waiting for me and my partner to get back. My dogs mean the world to me and leaving them in someone’s hands needs a lot of trust. I would heavily recommended Ellina for someone to make your dogs safe and comfortable whilst you are unable to be with them.”
