About: Hi my name is Jade and I’m a massive animal lover. I adore dogs and have lots of experience of caring for dogs, both my own as well as my family and friends pets. I often become friends with dogs whenever I go - if that’s during work visits, holidays, walking trips etc. I own a dog myself called Bear who is my best friend. I lead an active lifestyle with me and Bear going on many adventures together, I live close to a large park and there are lots of local walking routes I.e riverside, beach, lakes and woods in the town I live in. I work for home meaning I’m able to spend time with your pet during the daytime, my work colleagues are used to seeing dogs appear during virtual video calls 🐾 I live on my own in a spacious two bed maisonette with access to my own private garden. Your pet will be treated as an extended family member during their stays with me, with regular photos and updates. I hope to hear from you soon I often start my day with a walk around the park with Bear, before I start working virtually at home. I will break midday and go on another walk around the park, alongside letting Bear out into the garden during the day time in between my virtual meetings. In the evening I will often take Bear to the beach in the next town over from where I live and go to the gym. My home is a clean and tidy environment where dogs are welcome to make themselves at home. Bear and his four legged visitors are allowed on my sofa and can sleep in my bed. The dogs get lots of attention, play time (Bear is a keen fan of fetch throughout the day) and cuddles.

About: I have lots of experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes and temperaments, including rescue dogs and those who are reactive or anxious. I’ve offered dog walking and sitting services for several years and have worked with everything from high-energy pups to older dogs who prefer a slower pace. I always take the time to understand each dog’s individual needs and personality, and I’m calm, confident and patient in any situation. I’ll follow your guidance closely, keep you updated, and make sure your dog feels safe, happy and well cared for every step of the way. I’m currently not working, so I’m available seven days a week, at any time that suits you. I can offer up to two visits a day, whether that’s for dog walks, cat cuddles or both. I’m happy to fit around your schedule and your pet’s routine, and I’m always reliable, calm and gentle with animals of all kinds. When caring for pets in their own home, I always prioritise their comfort, safety and routine. I follow any instructions carefully, keep things clean and secure, and make sure your pet feels safe and relaxed while you're away. I never rush visits and take time to build trust, especially with shy or anxious animals. You’ll receive regular updates and photos, so you always know how your pet is doing. I treat every home and pet with the same respect and care I’d want for my own.

About: I personalise my approach to each dog’s needs, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while in my care. I have experience with various aged and sized dogs, especially senior and anxious dogs. I also send daily pupdates and photos of your dog on adventures or up to their old tricks to ensure you are also at peace of mind they are in the best hands. I currently work 4 on and 4 off shifts, 2 days and 2 nights. This means I have plenty of time to take care of your pet and have more availability compared to someone working 9-5. Looking after your dog (s) in your own home, mirroring every aspect of their routine ensures they are in an environment they feel comfortable and safe in. Your dog (s) would be the only pets I would look after so will have 1-1 attention and care. I can walk them anywhere they like, even take them on hikes if they enjoy this! I would ensure your home is safe and secure whilst you are away. I can also help with any other favours you may need whilst you are away from the property such as watering plants/bins out etc!

“Fantastic communication and service provided. Buster looked very content in his photo.”


About: Your dog will get 1-on-1 VIP treatment with me – no other dogs, just pure attention and cuddles! 🐾 I’ve looked after dogs since I was 6. I volunteer at The Dog and Cat Shelter and cared for my gorgeous border terrier Toby who lived until he was 17 years old. I work from home with flexible hours so I’m available at any time of the day. I’m free weekends, school holidays and bank holidays/Christmas time. Your dog/dogs will get 1-1 committed care with no other pets in my home or other dogs boarding with me. Although we live in a flat we have green areas right outside to take your dog out for the toilet. We also have beautiful walks nearby and I drive so can also take them to their favourite spot. With working from homeI’m in the flat 24/7 so your dog won’t be left at all and we have very little clutter for your dog won’t be able to chew on or eat anything! When caring for pets, we prioritise their safety by ensuring the environment is secure and pet-proofed. I will always offer to meet you and your dog/dogs in advance to get to know you both. I’ll follow your instructions closely, creating a routine that makes them feel comfortable and at ease. Building trust through regular communication with yourself and ensuring they feel loved and cared for is essential to me.

About: We understand that you want to feel confident that your dog is happy and looked after when you go away, and that's what we aim to provide. We have a wealth of experience in caring for dogs, and have a Jack Russell of our own who is friendly and always happy to have a play mate. Dogs in our home are treated like family and can be sure to get lots of attention and cuddles, and you can rest easy that we will get to know your dog and listen to what you tell us about them- after all, you know your dog best! A work from home job means that your dog won't need to be left on their own, and they can expect long walks as long as they are up to it. We encourage you to keep in touch and will send regular pupdates if you would like them. Tasmin works from home most of the week and James works part time with early finish times, so we are available for dog care most days of the week. We are able to provide daytime, evening, night and weekend dog-sitting. Dogs visiting will be treated like they are our own. We can accommodate dogs with various routines and will listen to what you tell us. We know that knowing your dog and their likes/dislikes is important for keeping them happy.

“Nicole and jack kindly arranged a meet and greet with us before the walk. After being very anxious about finding a new dog walker they were very understanding and took all of the dogs needs and any concerns of ours onboard. We were kept updated and provided with report, recorded map of the walk and photos. Thank you ☺️”


About: I have grown up around dogs for the majority of my life and so I am very comfortable in their company! My family dog is a 5 year old boxer dog called Solomon, who I looked after as a young puppy very regularly and so I understand the level of care and attention that dogs can require! I also regularly dog sit for my sister who has a golden retriever named crumpet, therefore I am happy attending to larger dog breeds. I live near the coast and multiple parks and woodlands which is perfect for long walks to help tire them out! I also work flexible hours so I am happy to try and make adjustments in certain circumstances if necessary I work flexible hours, I usually work 7am-3pm but this can be adjusted if needed. I do not have any kids and so my weekends are mostly free as I only own cats which can be left during the day. I am very attentive to an animals needs due to having experience with both dogs and cats, so rest assured your animal will be in very good hands. I am also happy to send any pictures and videos over whilst the animals are in my care just for peace of mind if you miss your pets as much as I do! I am extremely clean and tidy and dogs are also welcome in my car if needed for longer walks out.

About: I grew up with three cats and two dogs. I have a 1 year old lab called Nelly who is the most excited little thing! I’m very used to dogs being strong on the lead! I have experience with reactive dogs as well as puppies, friendly dogs and dogs with specific dietary requirements. I am very experienced in taking dogs on wonderful adventures, hiking, playing in the park or going on a quick walk on lead. I understand how nerve wracking it can be leaving your furry friend with a new person, which is why I can guarantee that I will treat your pet and home with the utmost respect and care. I currently work as a teaching assistant so am free in all summer holidays and half terms. I am also available to look after your pets in the afternoons and weekends during term time. I currently don’t offer boarding at my own home but I do offer home sitting and drop in services. When looking after your pet I use the upmost care and respect when in your home. I give your pets the care they need whilst looking after your home. I leave everything clean and tidy and exactly how it was left. My top priority is that your furry friend is comfortable in their own environment with someone there to look after them and keep them fed.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs from a young age and even spent my whole life around varied amount of pets, I understand timidity many may face when meeting new people but also the range of energy many face Im currently looking at going into part time work but have a strong passion for pets and would love to continue in enjoying this passion while working I own a 7 metre fabric lead and serval spare leads and trackers while caring for them; this allows a pet a sense of freedom while not of reach

“Nelly was out for the full 30 minutes and came back with the biggest smile on her face! Chelsea is incredible, she filled me with so much confidence in her ability to handle Nelly and she was friendly, kind and really sweet with Nelly. Thank you!”


“Amy stepped in at short notice to walk Floyd whilst he stayed with my mam as I had been let down by my dog boarder. She was super friendly, always on time and Floyd loved her! She kept in touch daily sending pictures and videos. Fab would 100% recommend.”

About: I have grown up around dogs and had my own since I was 18 and left home. I currently have just two puppies , a mini Doxie and a Weimaraner so one very little and one very big. They are both super socialised and will be in with your pets unless you provide a crate for them to be split. I work part time , from home and that’s 3 days a week so it may be that I work 8-5 while looking after your pet if it’s a week day but I live with my partner and she only works nights (so she can look after during the day) I do not work weekends I have a fenced front garden and a walled rear yard , I have cctv and ring door cameras. I have 2 dogs and a cat of my own but the cat just sleeps on my bed !

“Fantastic service Thankyou.”

Katie D.
“We honestly couldn’t recommend Katie highly enough. Katie was incredibly reliable and consistently went above and beyond, always sending us plenty of photos, videos, and updates so we were completely at ease while we were away. She looked after our cats for years and treated them as if they were her own - something that meant the world to us as crazy cat parents! Our fur babies are extremely standoffish with anyone but us, however would always get so excited when Katie arrived and came running to greet her. Going away used to be such a stressful experience, but Katie truly solved that for us. Her care, attention to detail, and genuine love for our cats gave us such peace of mind every time. We were absolutely devastated when she moved back home - our cats were too. We still miss her dearly! If you’re lucky enough to have Katie looking after your pets, you’re in the very best hands :)”

Grace was very slow with the introduction to the pets as they didn’t know her, this built their confidence quickly. Very very happy with the service and was very trusted, the house was left very clean after the stay as-well, she would also message us to update on how the pets are doing which is very reassuring when you are leaving your pets with someone new. Would recommend to a friend.”
