I really love spending time with dogs and have experience in taking care of them, we have 2 dogs in the the family home. an American akita and a blue staff, both very energetic so I know how to handle over excited dogs. They won’t be with me at any point whilst taking care of your dog so don’t worry if they’re not animal friendly.

About: Hi, I’m Amy. Alongside my partner I have owned and run my own dog walking business Barking Pad for the past 5 years, both in the UK and over in sunny Australia! From Chihuahuas to Great Danes, Staffies to German Shepards, we’ve cared for them all - each one as much an adventure as the next. I am fully insured by Pet Business Insurance, which covers Public Liability, Loss of Keys, Animal Illness and Care Custody of up to 6 dogs per walk. Along with a cleared DBS check, I also have an OFQUAL Level 3 qualification in Canine First Aid and Emergency First Aid training, with having attended the Rachel Bean First Aid course. You’ll receive texts and photos with updates, and can even follow along on our social media pages too! A typical day will always start and end with lots of cuddles, with plenty of adventure in between! For dogs that love to make friends we have a lovely group of doggies just waiting to play with, and for those that enjoy their own space we always prioritise a nice solo adventure with lots to sniff and see. I always make sure to get as much detail from our owners as possible, to ensure their pets are as safe and happy as can be. With updates and pictures throughout their time to give owners full peace of mind.
About: Hi, my name is Dawn and I have a deep love for animals! Growing up with dogs, cats, and small pets, I learned how to care for them with patience, kindness, and responsibility. My motivation to be a pet sitter comes from my genuine joy in spending time with animals and ensuring they feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. I have experience pet sitting for friends, family, and clients, handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments.

I have experience caring for various pet personalities and understand their unique needs. My work schedule is flexible enough that I can adhere to your pet's routine, ensuring they are fed on time and have ample opportunities for play and relaxation. You can rest assured knowing that while I’m working from home, I’ll be fully dedicated to keeping your dog happy and healthy during their visits. I have a secure back yard where your dog can stretch their legs, and a large playing field about half a mile away where they can play and have a good run depending on recall.

“Outstanding service. I was very nervous leaving my cat, Pip, with a sitter for the first time but Olivia put my mind at rest and even agreed to add further drop ins at the last minute. Well worth the money and the updates at every visit were very welcome. Pip was quite content when we got home. Will definitely look at booking again.”

About: During your dogs stay, my home is their home. They will never be left unattended. I have always looked after dogs of all ages & breeds of small to medium in size. During their stay, all needs will be met, diet, walks, medication, cuddles etc. Since a child every dog I have owed has been rescued, my current little guy is called Milhouse who is a very welcoming little Parson :) I will always make myself available for a meet & greet at an owners request.

About: I work as a paralegal with a flexible, hybrid schedule, which allows me to plan my day around the needs of the pets I’m caring for. Because I’m not tied to a strict 9–5 in the office, I can accommodate morning, afternoon and evening visits, as well as spend quality time with cats who need extra attention or companionship. I’m used to managing my time carefully, so fitting in feeding routines, playtime, and check-ins is something I can do consistently and reliably throughout the week. I tailor my care to each cat’s individual needs and routine, whether I’m visiting in the owner’s home or caring for them in my own. In a pet owner’s home, I aim to keep everything as familiar and stress-free as possible by sticking closely to their usual feeding schedule, litter box routine, and playtime habits. I take time to understand each cat’s personality—whether they’re social and playful or more independent—and adjust my approach to make them feel comfortable and secure. I make sure all essentials are taken care of, including fresh food and water, clean litter trays, and plenty of attention, enrichment, and affection where welcomed. I’m also attentive to any changes in behaviour or health and will keep owners updated with regular messages and photos for peace of mind. If caring for a cat in my own home, I provide a calm, safe, and clean environment where they can settle in at their own pace, with plenty of cosy spaces and gentle interaction. My priority is always to ensure each cat feels relaxed, well cared for, and as happy as possible while their owner is away.
About: We always had our families pets around us and for the past 5 years we've been taking care of our own - Nero a 3 year old GSP and Oreo a 5 year old cat.

Also we have a park 5 minutes walk from our house where our Nero is doing in daily exercise.
About: My names Amy & I have two beautiful dogs called Narla and Mika! Narla is an XL Bully and Mika is a Patterdale Terrier. I have loved animals ever since I was only a few years old, ranging from Cats, dogs, gerbils, degu’s, skinny pigs and many more! I have worked with many different breeds with many different temperaments. Every dog is different and that’s what makes them all special in their own little way. I’m currently working part time, meaning I have time both before and after my shift to care for your pets. Whether that’s for a cuddle or a feed! I am DBS checked, have pet first aid and many other animal qualifications meaning my knowledge of pets wellbeing and what to do in the harder situations is advanced!
“Victoria is great with Humphrey and really accommodating. I get lots of pictures and videos of the chaos Humphrey is causing ??and will definitely be using Victoria on a regular basis! Humphrey has made a new pal in Fatty too ♥️”

“Megan has been fantastic with drop-in visits for my cat while we’ve been away for the week. Each day came with slightly different — and sometimes quite complex — instructions and timings, but Megan took everything in her stride and handled it all perfectly without needing any prompting. She was reliable throughout, and we always received detailed updates, which gave us real peace of mind. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her or book her again whenever we’re away.”

About: With over 6 years of hands-on dog training experience, I specialize in behavior support, puppy training, and senior pet care.

I’ve worked with assistance dogs, nervous rescues, and reactive pets, using positive reinforcement and compassion in every interaction. I also offer feline care—understanding cat behavior, routines, and the importance of a calm, clean environment. Whether it’s giving medication, enrichment, or specialized walks, I ensure your pet is treated like family. Pet care is a core part of my daily life—I run a dog training business, so I’m highly flexible and accustomed to adapting my routine around pet needs. I offer weekday and weekend availability, with consistent check-ins and quality time with each animal. Your pet’s routine becomes part of mine, and I make sure they feel safe, engaged, and loved every day. I maintain your pet’s routine, ensure a clean space, and follow all safety protocols, including secure lead handling and safe transport if needed. In my home, pets enjoy a calm, enriched environment, supervised socialization, and structured activities that promote their mental and physical well-being.

Suraya was an absolutely fantastic catsitter. She was very prompt, kind and had great communication. She kept us appraised of our cat while we were away, which gave us peace of mind. Would 100% recommend her to anyone and everyone, your pet will always be in safe hands with Suraya. THANK YOU! :)
Sally was amazing from the introduction visit to looking after Bella she was great. Bella who is timid normally, went straight to Sally! Sally sent a video & photos during my time away (only a couple of days this time ). Clearly Bella trusted Sally & that was very important to me. I shall definitely use Sally again.

Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.
