About: Promo Code: PRIJET47161 - for £15 off. Having cared for my own Chow Chow for three years, I understand the patience, consistency, and special attention that certain breeds require. Chow Chows are known for their strong-willed personalities, unique grooming needs, and loyalty, and through my experience, I’ve learned how to care for dogs with independent temperaments. I’m comfortable handling different dog breeds, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and well-cared for. Whether it’s providing regular feeding, companionship, or playtime, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I also understand the importance of routine, socialisation, and positive reinforcement, which helps dogs feel at ease when their owners are away. I’m passionate about giving pets the best care possible, and I know how important it is for owners to feel confident that their furry friends are in good hands! I have flexible availability, with most of my free time dedicated to caring for pets. I am mainly available on weekends, as well as some evenings during the week. This allows me to provide reliable and consistent care, ensuring pets receive the attention they need while their owners are away. I’m happy to discuss custom schedules based on your pet’s needs, whether it’s a one-off visit or regular check-ins. Feel free to reach out, and I’ll do my best to accommodate! While I no longer have a dog of my own, I’m still very much around dogs, my partner and her family have one, and I love spending time with him! He’s a chilled, friendly dog, and I always enjoy playing with him and giving him attention. When caring for pets in an owner’s home, I always prioritise safety, trust, and comfort. I make sure to follow any specific routines, feeding schedules, and exercise needs to keep your pet happy and stress-free. I also respect your home and ensure everything is left just as you expect. Every pet is different, so I take the time to understand their personality, likes, and needs, ensuring they feel comfortable while you’re away. Whether they love playtime, belly rubs, or just relaxing company, I’ll make sure they get the care they need.

“Volodymyr stayed at our house with our 2 dogs for 10 days and we were so impressed! From the very beginning, he was very communicative, gave regular updates, and wasn’t afraid to ask questions. One of our dogs has reactivity issues and Volodymyr handled him with ease. When we got home, our home was spotless and in pristine condition, and our dogs were very happy and well taken care of! We are very thankful for Volodymyr and we look forward to working with him again in the future! Highly recommend!”


“Great guy, super polite and took great care of our dog. Turned up on time and super flexible with his availability. Highly recommend and will use again 😊”


About: I bring a wide range of experience caring for many different types of animals including dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, fish, and small mammals. I’m confident handling pets with all kinds of needs, from playful puppies and curious kittens to gentle, senior dogs who may require extra patience and care. What sets me apart is my ability to adapt to each animal’s unique personality and routine. I’m patient, reliable, and always attentive to their wellbeing, whether that means sticking closely to feeding schedules, administering medication, or providing plenty of playtime and affection. I treat every pet as if they were my own, and I’m committed to giving them a safe, happy, and stress free experience while you're away. I current work full time as a Research Technician for the University of Leicester in the in Cardiovascular Science department. I currently have 1 day a week where I work from home, usually a Thursday. I am therefore free to help with pet sitting on Thursdays during the day, providing I can work from your home. I am also free over the weekend for pet sitting duties. For drop in visits and dog walks I am available all week, before 9am and after 5pm. When caring for pets in their own home, my top priority is making sure they feel comfortable, secure, and loved in their familiar surroundings. I always take the time to understand their usual routine, including feeding times, walks, play, and rest. I understand how leaving our beloved pet can be an anxious or nervous time, therefore, I endeavour to maintain a sense of normality and minimise any stress while you're away, for both yourself and your fur babies. I’m respectful of both your pet and your home. I ensure I keep everything clean and tidy, follow all instructions closely, and ensure your pet gets plenty of attention, affection, and supervision. Whether it’s cuddles on the sofa, quiet time for older pets, or fun play sessions, I tailor my care to suit their needs and personality. I also believe clear communication is key, so I’m happy to send regular updates and photos to give you peace of mind.

“Chanel was an absolute dream of petsitter ! We were away for 1 week for our wedding and she left us absolutely “worry free”! She sent pictures everyday and updates on how they were doing and when we came back they were so chilled and happy that it seemed like they had a holiday too. They were treated like king and queen and I will absolutely be looking to book Chanel again when need to in the future. Recommend her to everyone she is really lovely !”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbours, friends, and family have always trusted me with their pets—whether it’s walking, feeding, playing, or giving them a warm bath. I’m naturally patient, energetic, and passionate about animals, and I always treat each pet like my own. Even though I’m new to professional dog walking, I bring genuine love and attention to every pup I meet. I’m currently working part-time, so my availability is flexible and varies week to week. I’ll always make sure your dog gets the time, attention, and care they deserve. I’m available most weekdays (especially afternoons and evenings), and I can also offer weekend walks or drop-ins with some notice. I’ll always do my best to accommodate your pup’s routine! Your dog’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. Whether I’m walking your pup or watching them at your home, I’ll follow all your instructions carefully and treat them like my own. I’m always calm and gentle, and I’ll keep your dog’s routine consistent to reduce stress. I’m reliable, tidy, and respectful of your space—your pet and your home are in safe hands.

“Nicole is outstanding. A wonderful warm human that is beyond capable and competent. My boys absolutely love her and I know they’re safe and happy. She helped out in a family emergency too and took such a load off my mind about the dogs. I can’t recommend Nicole enough!”


“Went away for 4 nights, Sam looked after my jack Russell/Yorkshire terrier mix. He seemed very happy when I arrived home, house was as tidy as I left it, good communication and pictures also! Will happily use Sam again.”


About: I first fell in love with dogs when I began walking my neighbours Jack Russel, Alfie, in 2019. I have been unable to adopt a dog myself since my cat is quite afraid of them. Therefore I would LOVE to take your dog on entertaining and exciting walks through the beautiful country surrounding Leicester. I am a very active person so can cater to high energy dogs who are in need of long and tiring walks as well as shorter more relaxed walks, depending on your dogs needs and temperament. I am a recent graduate so I have ALOT of free time. Therefore, my schedule is relatively flexible so we can choose a time for walks or stays that suite you! I ensure to keep the dogs in my care on leads until we have a good enough bond that I can trust them to return to me after a run around. I am happy to work with you to ensure your dog has the best possible experience with me; if you inform me as to any likes/dislikes or special requirements of your pup, I'm happy for us to work together in order to for you to revive the best possible service.

About: I am a dog auntie haha! I am not personally a dog or pet owner myself however that does not go to mean I do not absolutely adore and love animals and doggy’s to bits. I’m mainly available during weekends or evenings of the weekdays after 6pm due to work commitments and schedules. However, weekends i am much more flexible throughout the whole day as long as there’s enough notice:) I personally do not have pets of my own, however that does not mean i am not an animal doggy lover myself! I have always loved dogs cats you name it, you would find me in the corner away giving treats, cuddles and pets to the house dog or cat!

About: I have spent most of my life in homes that were full of love for the many different pets that we have cared for. I love all types of small pets, cats and dogs. Whether they are cute, cuddly, playful, sleepy, energetic, lazy or timid, I take time to understand their character and their individual needs so that I can give them the love and care they deserve. I have hands-on experience with puppy training using positive reinforcement, helping little ones build confidence and good habits from day one. For senior pets, I provide thoughtful, attentive care—supporting mobility, administering medications, and offering a calming presence. For the pet's owners, communication is king. I keep in touch regularly so that you can make the most of your time away knowing that your beloved pets are getting the best and most loving care. I've now given up all other employment so that I can earn a little pocket money doing something that I truly love and enjoy - walking dogs and caring for cats and small pets in your absence. Of course, I have hobbies and time out occasionally, but and I am very flexible with no specific hours of work. If I'm free - then I'm available for your pet. At the moment I am unable to offer home boarding for pets of any kind; hopefully I will be adding this service in the near future. I offer a house/pet sitting service where I will stay in your house and look after your dogs, cats and/or other small animals when you're away. Currently though, I am only able to do one or two nights (subject to availability of course); I'm usually unable to accept longer stays. I pride myself in being a true gentleman; trustworthy, honest and reliable. I'm DBS certified, I have business and public liability insurance and I have undertaken training in pet care, pet-sitting, dog walking and pet first aid. Equally importantly, I'm honest about my limitations. If I don't feel perfectly comfortable and confident that I can provide the service you need, I will politely decline and assist you in finding someone who can.

Saffron S.
“When we entrusted our beloved fur babies to Saffron Smart, we didn’t just find a cat sitter—we found a guardian angel for our whiskered wonders. From the moment she stepped into our home, her gentle demeanor and genuine love for animals were undeniable. Our shy babies, normally hesitant around strangers, were purring in Saffron’s lap within minutes—a miracle we never thought possible! She not only tended to their needs with meticulous care, but she also showered them with affection, playtime, and the attention they deserved. The daily updates and adorable photos she sent us brought so much peace of mind, turning our time away from home into a guilt-free experience. Saffron didn’t just keep our cats fed and entertained; she made them feel safe, loved, and cherished. Coming home to happy, relaxed cats was proof of her magical touch. It’s rare to find someone who treats your pets like their own family, but that’s exactly who Saffron is. If you’re looking for someone to go above and beyond for your furry friends, look no further than Saffron. She’s more than a cat sitter—she’s a true blessing. Thank you, Saffron, for giving us the priceless gift of peace of mind and for loving our kitties as much as we do! ❤️🐾”
