“Rhi was so polite and caring. She was amazing with Bertie. I came home to a very happy puppy. Have already planned for her to come again. Would highly recommend her. Thank you so much Rhi, it was so nice not having to worry about my little one. Cannot thank you enough”


About: I’ve owned dogs and other animals my whole life, training them from both 8 week old puppies and rescue dogs of various ages. I currently don’t have the capacity to own my own pet but still want that unconditional human animal interaction. I’m more than happy to train young pets and take your pets on as long a walk as you’d like. I’m new to the pet sitter career but I’ve been looking after pets unpaid my whole life. I also work in conservation so my heart is in animals and wildlife. I’m currently working 9-5 weekdays in conservation but I can give my whole weekend and Friday evening to your dog, taking it on walks, training it or just letting it chill out. I live in a very quiet area with my partner with a garden and a big green behind my house. Your dog would even have its own sanctuary bedroom for it to have some of its own time to decompress if needed. I have a fenced garden but unfortunately not dog proof yet but I can take your dog on plenty of walks and runs and out on the village green on a lead. Your dog would be my main priority and I wouldn’t leave it alone if you didn’t want me to.
“I can’t say enough great things about Tamara. From the moment we met, it was clear she genuinely loves animals. She followed all my dog’s routines, gave them so much attention, and sent regular updates that made me feel completely reassured. I returned to a clean home and very happy dogs. Tamara goes above and beyond, she’s truly exceptional! Will definitely be recommending Tamara to our friends and booking with her again! Thank you Tamara.”

“When I first met Nell I knew that my dog would be in good hands. Good communication and happy when plans changed due to my disorganised son! Would recommend and will definitely try to use again if she is free.”

“Allana looked after out six-month puppy Laszlo (he can be a handful!). It was our first dog-sitting experience. Allan did a brilliant job - she was reliable and friendly and most importantly, Laszlo really enjoyed her company - judging by his reaction to Allana leaving. We will definitely be asking Allana for help with our pup again.”


“Imogen did a brilliant job looking after our Greyhound Bob. I know he was happy because he'd eaten his lunch and he tends to not eat eat when he's anxious. Imogen went above and beyond to organise Bob sitting as I was struggling to find anyone who could do the hours. Would definitely book again and recommend.”

“Danielle was absolutely amazing looking after our Frenchie, Buster, while we had to rush our other Frenchie, Remi to the emergency hospital. It was a very stressful time for us, but knowing Buster was in such caring hands gave us real peace of mind. She was incredibly friendly, kind, and patient, making sure Buster felt calm, comfortable, and relaxed throughout her stay. It was clear she genuinely cared about him and treated him like one of her own. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter during such a difficult situation. Many thanks Danielle 🐾 🐾”

“Paula was so very kind and caring towards our cat and helped very much even when he was unwell. She kept in touch and sent pictures and videos of him. We were so grateful to have her here with him for peace of mind. She even cleaned the house before leaving which was so thoughtful. We will definitely use her again in the future.”

“Thank you much for looking after max you are a fantastic and max loved it I. I got pictures and texts to let me no how max was which made me not worried about him it was my first time having a dog sitter and I would use it again Julie is a fantastic person and put me at ease thank you again”

“Izzy has been great with our new puppy who absolutely loves her and gets so excited when she walks through the door. She has remembered and taken into account every little detail we have told her about our puppy and kept that in mind whilst looking after him. I know he has such a great time every time she is here.”

About: I’ve had my own dog for five wonderful years, and he truly opened my heart to all living creatures. We trained him ourselves from a puppy, and he has amazing recall and lovely manners. That experience taught me patience, consistency, and how important trust is with dogs. I regularly look after friends’ dogs of all sizes, small, medium, and large and I’m confident handling different temperaments and energy levels. I provide daily walks once or twice a day, sometimes including a run for more active dogs, and longer walks at the weekend for extra adventure and stimulation. Your dog would be cared for as if they were my own, with attention, affection, and plenty of exercise. 🐾 As I work from home, dogs in my care are rarely left alone and always have company throughout the day. I tailor walks to each dog’s needs, offering one or two walks daily depending on their routine and energy levels. There are always plenty of cuddles, attention and gentle supervision.. 🐾 Your dog’s safety and wellbeing are always my top priority. In my home, I provide a calm, secure and loving environment where dogs are treated as part of the family. I take time to understand each dog’s routine, preferences and any special requirements so they feel settled and comfortable. I maintain consistent boundaries, supervise interactions, and ensure doors and outdoor spaces are secure at all times. Walks are carried out safely, with close attention to surroundings and other dogs. I only allow off-lead time where recall is reliable and agreed with the owner.🐾
About: Whether it's 4 days, or 4 months, your pets deserve to feel safe and loved. When with them, they are my number 1 priority 💖 What once started as a fun hobby, turned into something I realised I'm actually really good at, and could make a living from! 5 years ago I started volunteering to walk dogs via BorrowMyDoggy, in London, then it became looking after dogs and cats in their homes. Then I moved out of London, to Norfolk, and found a wonderful community built on trust and friendliness. I made friends and naturally offered to look after their pets when they're away. My big realisation happened when I did a house/pet sit for, in total, near on FOUR MONTHS. It was two dogs (Cockapoo & Beagle-Pitbull), and two cats, with one cat being poorly, which was a steep learning curve for me. I made friends with the client's dog walker, Paula (of Paula's Pawsome Dog Park!), who asked me if this is something I'd consider doing again, and so got me thinking. I then went on to do my first sit through her for a sweet old Basset Hound, Pippa, and a cute cat, Blossom. Then two weeks for Hamish & Mollie, both Romanian rescues, who enjoyed our evening walks! Then one day with Marley the cocker spaniel, while his parents attended a wedding. The next month was a back to back week of Perrie & Bailey Cockapoo Mum & Son full of big adventurous walks in the forest and splashing in ponds, then a very different week with elderly Zippy & Narla. I view animals like people, they have their own quirks and preferences, and I always feel honoured to be able to share their space and be part of their lives, even for just a couple days, I am always so grateful. I'm currently working part-time at a pub in Attleborough, and dabble in hypnotherapy and tarot reading. I do like to get out and explore, however, when I am with your pets, I dedicate as much time as possible with them. I find being with animals so much fun, so it's something I look forward to doing. Before looking after your pets, I make sure we have discussed and shared anything that I need to know to ensure your pets are safe and well looked after.

About: I have owned cats all my life, from very sociable, playful cats, to timid, shy and anxious cats. I currently have two gorgeous bengal savannah cross kittens at home that are 4 months old. I know how important it is to make sure that even when we go away, and get that kitty parent guilt, there is someone to give that love and attention to your fur babies.

“We’re so glad we found Cassie! We felt so at ease knowing our cat was being looked after by her. She was great at giving us updates and we came home from our holiday to a very happy and loved little cat.”
About: I currently live in the countryside with my partner and our cocker spaniel Albie! I have grown up around animals my whole life and couldn’t see a lifewithout them! I would love to be able to be an extra companion for your dog, cuddle buddy, walk mate or someone you can rely on when life gets busy! I am keen to help with walks, drop in visits and at home stays. Due to my experience with animals my whole life, I am comfortable with animals of all ages. I look forward to meeting your fury friends! I work nights as a carer so most days I am free to assist with your pets. Due to my sleep pattern, a few days notice is preferable but I am happy to help at short notice where I can! I am happy to adhere to any safety adjustments you have set for your pet, whether that be crate training when staying in your home or using safety leads. I never walk my pets in areas I am unfamiliar with to avoid any safety concerns when out and about.

“Imogen is an excellent house sitter. She is conscientious and clearly passionate about animals. She took the time to fully understand what was required to care for our three pets and kept me informed throughout. Imogen is self sufficient, tidy and reliable. I’d have no hesitation recommending Imogen to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”

“Zoe was fantastic,, she arrived ontime and as soon as she arrived put us and Miffy at ease. Spent lots of time with Miffy before we left. About 1/2 hour after we left she messaged and sent a photo us to say she was very happy and curled up on the sofa with Zoe. We were in a holiday cottage for a wedding, but would definitely use her again if in Norfolk or recommend her to anyone. Thank you Zoe”
