“It was a day sit, they got there when they said they would, sent updates during the day and Elsie seemed very chilled when I got home. Thanks guys!”

About: I have over two years of experience caring for animals, including both big and small dogs as well as cats. I grew up raising an Alsatian and a Belgian Malinois and so I am confident, caring and patient around animals, and genuinely enjoy spending time with them. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, companionship and following each pet’s individual routine. I treat every animal with the same care and attention I would want for my own. My pet will fit naturally into my routine alongside work as an Actor, residential care practitioner, caring for children and elderly, with daily care, attention and love. I care for pets in their own home by following their routine, providing food, walks, playtime and companionship, while keeping their environment clean, safe and comfortable.

“Every thing went perfectly. It’s the first time we have booked a pet sitter to stay with our dog and cat who are elderly and Hayley was great, keeping us updated and taking great care of our pets and our home. I would recommend her to anyone. Thank you so much,”

“Caroline did a fantastic job looking after my Bruno for a week. She is a pleasant and chatty lady who clearly loves animals. She sent me updates and pics every day. She is so good I have booked her again. Highly recommended”

About: We are a friendly, reliable couple with a genuine love of dogs, animals and the outdoors. With three dogs of our own, dogs are very much part of our everyday lives, and we understand how important it is to find someone you can genuinely trust with a much-loved member of your family. Alongside our practical experience, Shirley holds a Canine Communication Diploma, awarded with Distinction by the Centre of Excellence. This complements our hands-on experience and helps us to understand canine communication, behaviour and the individual ways dogs express themselves. We also have experience through Pawsome Treks Adventure Services, our dog-walking service, which focuses on giving dogs stimulating outdoor experiences rather than simply a quick walk around the block. We love the outdoors and enjoy giving dogs opportunities to walk, explore, sniff and enjoy plenty of enrichment. We have three dogs ourselves and are fortunate to have access to private fields giving us fantastic opportunities for outdoor exercise and enrichment. We are also developing dedicated indoor and outdoor spaces to provide a comfortable environment for different dogs and their individual needs. Having two of us means there is plenty of opportunity for companionship, supervision and individual attention. We understand that every dog is different — from energetic adventurers to older dogs who simply enjoy a gentle wander and plenty of affection — and we adapt our approach accordingly. Above all, we want you to be able to leave your dog with us knowing they will be treated with kindness, patience and respect. We don't just look after dogs — we want them to genuinely enjoy their time with us. 🐾 Caring for dogs fits naturally into our everyday life. We have three dogs of our own, so walks, feeding, play, exercise and companionship are already part of our normal daily routine. We both enjoy being outdoors and can structure our days around the dogs in our care rather than trying to fit them into a busy schedule. Having two of us also means we can share responsibilities and give each dog plenty of individual attention, supervision and companionship. Through Pawsome Treks, we are used to planning our time around dogs and their individual exercise needs. Whether your dog enjoys a good outdoor adventure or a quieter routine with shorter walks and plenty of company, we are happy to adapt our day to suit them. Safety and trust are extremely important to us. We understand that leaving your dog with somebody new can be worrying, so we want owners to feel completely comfortable and confident about the care their pet will receive. We have access to private fields with no general public access, providing a fantastic environment for exercise and enrichment away from busy public spaces. We are also developing dedicated indoor and outdoor areas so dogs can have appropriate spaces for activity, rest and relaxation. We will always follow your instructions regarding feeding, walking, leads, routines, interaction with other dogs and any individual requirements. We never assume that because something is suitable for one dog it will be suitable for another. As we have dogs ourselves, introductions and compatibility are important to us. We want every dog in our care — including our own — to feel safe and comfortable. We are happy to discuss this fully and arrange an introduction before a stay where appropriate. We will provide responsible supervision, plenty of attention and a calm, caring environment, with your dog's welfare always coming first.

“It was our first time using Carrie to look after our dog, Arlo. She sent lots of pictures and videos of Arlo & Bella playing in the fields together, gave plenty of updates and was always easy to contact. The house has been left spotlessly clean including bed sheets and towels all washed for our arrival which was not expected at all. I think she even bathed our dog too which again completely exceeded my expectations. I’ll be very grateful and happy to use Carrie again in the future and would recommend her to anyone. Thanks so much Carrie & Bella xx”

“Samantha was great - she followed Caspian’s routine and kept me updated with loads of photos. He was very happy when I got home and if I’m honest I think he’s been missing her since! Will definitely ask her to look after Caspian again in the future, as he clearly had a great time. Would enthusiastically recommend Samantha to anyone considering a sitter!”

Danni C.

“Zara was brilliant. My pup has never been left before and I used Zara. She was on time and sent plenty of photos and videos. Her calmness and experience certainly turned my mischevious pup into a very calm and settled pup. She respected my home and could not fault her. Walking schedule was stuck to perfectly. Would definitely use Zara again!”

“Milo had a lovely overnight stay with Debbie whilst she stayed in our home with him. He is so well looked after and spoilt in her care a trip to the beach he thoroughly enjoyed her company. Debbie is such a great person to leave your pets with the best! Thanks as always.”

“Rachel was excellent; she did a first-class job of looking after our three dogs whilst we were away on holiday. Rachel shared regular photographs, videos and messages to keep us up to speed on how the dogs were doing, setting our minds at rest. I'd have no hesitations in recommending Rachel if you need a top notch dog sitter”

Ian M.

“We are so pleased to have found Mollie, she is great with our three rescue dogs, who each have very different needs in terms of energy and sociability. She is great at keeping us informed and communicating in general. Thanks for looking after our gang Mollie :)”

About: Since starting pet sitting in April'19, I have now completed over 157 weeks of care, from the -30'C Canadian winters to the near 50'C summer in Dubai, remote Caribbean island to the hustle of capital city. Dogs & cats are equally loved, from Mini Dachshund to Bernese Mountain dogs, sleepy Pug to energetic Collie pups. So many happy memories and stories to tell. I feel honored and proud of my 5* feedback & references which are all far more important than anything I could write in my profile, and I have completed all verification available to me on this forum. Please help me to help you & your furry friends whilst you are away. Get in touch and we can arrange a call, skype, What'sApp or Zoom to make sure we would be a perfect fit. Communication is key. During my career as a Quality Manager, I always operated with the upmost professionalism, with integrity and in an open & honest way, and endeavored to instill these values to all of my team. Your house sit would be no different. I have been used to global pet sits of 1 to 2 months at a time, but equally, as I type, I'm sharing the sofa with a new furry pal in Suffolk for the week. It is unlikely that I would take any offers below 7 days. I am looking for pet sits during vacation from work. As such, my schedule would be adaptable to best match that of your beloved pet. I'm happy to explore the local woods & surroundings for up to 3hrs, dependent on the needs of your dog, and would keep to all of their normal scheduled meal / rest times. I like to pet sit to be with the pets, it is that simple. I could fly away and lay on the beach for a week or so, or maybe take myself away to the nearest ski resort, but that is nowhere near enjoyable as plotting a route to explore the woods using Ordinance Survey Apps with a new pal by my side, or playing fetch, tug or grooming. And I don't know why, but a nice pint in a quintessential British pub always tastes better with a pal at your heels.

About: I’m new to professional pet sitting but I’ve always been comfortable around animals and grew up with a pet dog. Through my previous work in domiciliary care, I was also regularly around clients’ cats and dogs in their homes, which helped me become comfortable around different household pets. I’m a caring, patient and reliable person and I understand how important it is to treat someone’s pet and home with respect. I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual routine carefully, including feeding, walks, playtime and providing plenty of company and attention. I’m looking forward to gaining more experience and getting to know each pet and their individual personality. I also have experience spending time with my brother’s dog, Alfie, giving him attention and accompanying him on walks with my mum. I currently work Monday to Friday, so I’m mainly available for pet care at weekends. I’m happy to dedicate my Saturdays and Sundays to looking after pets, including drop in visits, walks and spending time with them. I’ll always make sure I have enough time available to give each pet the attention and care they need. When caring for pets in their owner’s home, I will follow all instructions and routines provided, including feeding, walks, playtime and any house rules. I’ll treat both your pet and your home with care and respect. I’ll make sure doors and gates are secure, keep an eye on your pet’s wellbeing and contact you if I have any concerns. I’m also happy to provide updates while you’re away so you know how your pet is getting on.

“Rowan was brilliant with our two cats, who instantly took to them and clearly felt safe with them. Rowan stayed overnight in our home with the cats, and left it clean, without any concerns. Rowan sent regular updates for how the cats were getting on, including photos. Rowan followed everything we asked of them, which we're very grateful for! We'll be booking Rowan again - thoroughly recommend!”

“Nicola is fantastic! She was brilliant with our 3 month old puppy and gave her the care and attention she needed when we were away for the evening. Her knowledge and experience with dogs is exceptional, and her kind and friendly nature is great for owners. Will definitely be using Nicola again and would highly recommend to others! Thank you! ☺️”

“Ada was absolutely fab! She came to house sit my dog whilst I was at work, and it went completely smoothly. I was really nervous about leaving my dog, but she was really reassuring, sent me lots of updates throughout the day and made sure my dog was happy and relaxed. I’m really pleased with how it went and have booked again with Ada! Yay my dog has a new friend!”

“Imogen house/pet sat for us for a week while we were away on holiday. She looked after our dog and 2 guinea pigs brilliantly, keeping me in the loop with how they were and sending regular photo updates. She also did a fantastic job of looking after the house and went above and beyond to ensure our early hours return was stressful free. It was wonderful to be away and not worrying about how our fur babies were. I eould highly recommend Imogen and will definitely be requesting her services when we go away in the future.”

About: Hi, I’m Gabby! I’m 30 years old and a lifelong dog lover. I’ve grown up around dogs and I’m now the proud owner of my own cockapoo, Marley, who is 14 months old. Dogs are a huge part of my everyday life, and when I say my life revolves around them, it genuinely does! I love giving dogs the care, attention, exercise and affection they need to feel happy, relaxed and loved. Alongside caring for Marley, I regularly look after my dad’s two cockapoos (aged 14 months and 2 years old) when he’s working or away, as well as occasionally helping with my sister’s dog. I’m very comfortable caring for multiple dogs at once and understanding that every dog has their own personality, routine and individual needs. Marley is a very friendly, playful and sociable dog who loves meeting and spending time with other dogs. He is used to being around different breeds and personalities, which means any dog staying with us will have a friendly companion to enjoy walks, playtime and relaxation with (where appropriate). My dogs are walked several times a day, with at least four walks daily, alongside plenty of playtime, enrichment and outdoor adventures. I love being outdoors and spend a lot of my free time exploring the countryside, walking in the Lakes and going on hikes, so your dog will have plenty of opportunities for fun adventures and stimulating walks. I understand that dogs need more than just exercise — they need companionship, patience, mental stimulation and lots of affection. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of different temperaments and energy levels, from energetic dogs who love exploring, to those who prefer a calmer environment with lots of reassurance and cuddles. I work from home full time, which means I can offer lots of company, attention and flexibility throughout the day. Your dog will be welcomed into a caring environment where they can feel safe, comfortable and part of the family, with very little time spent alone. I know how much trust is involved when leaving your dog with someone, so I’ll always treat your pet as if they were my own. I’ll make sure they are happy, settled and well cared for, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you have peace of mind while you’re away. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your dog and provide them with a fun, safe and loving experience! **A typical day with me** Your dog can expect a fun, relaxed and loving home\-from\-home experience that fits around their usual routine. I do understand every dog is different, so I’ll always take the time to learn their personality, habits, exercise needs and any little quirks! My day with Marley usually involves plenty of outdoor time, with walks in the morning, afternoon, evening and a final walk later in the evening. Walks are typically around 30–40 minutes and include plenty of opportunities for sniffing, exploring, play and enrichment. Where appropriate and with your permission, I’m also happy to include safe off lead time in suitable areas. I have a large fenced garden which gives dogs plenty of space to relax, play and enjoy some fresh air throughout the day. As I work from home full time, your dog will have lots of company, attention and regular interaction rather than being left alone for long periods. I love being outdoors and spend a lot of my free time walking, hiking and exploring the countryside, so dogs who enjoy adventures will have lots of fun! Marley is also very friendly and sociable and loves having other dogs around, so your dog can enjoy the company of a canine friend if they are comfortable with that! Throughout the day there will be a balance of walks, playtime, enrichment, cuddles and relaxing. I will keep the routine as normal as possible to the home life so they feel safe, happy and settled while they’re with me. I understand that leaving your dog with someone is a big decision, and I know how important it is to feel confident that they are in safe and caring hands. Having grown up around dogs and being a dog owner myself, I understand that every dog is unique and has their own personality, routine and individual needs. I always take the time to get to know each dog and make sure they feel comfortable, settled and cared for. Your dog will be joining a calm, dog-friendly home where Marley is the only dog living here. He is a very happy and friendly dog who enjoys having canine company. We also have a large, fully fenced garden that dogs can enjoy safely, and there are no children in the home. Your dog’s safety and wellbeing will always be my priority. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, including feeding routines, exercise preferences and any specific requirements that help your dog feel happy and secure. I know how much dogs mean to their owners, so I’ll treat every dog with the same love, patience and attention that I would want for my own. I’ll keep you updated with regular messages and photos, giving you peace of mind that your dog is enjoying their time with me and receiving the best possible care.

“Vanessa stayed in my house whilst I was away for a week. She kept us updated with videos and msgs. She had plans for a day out in the week which we knew about. As Ted hadn’t been left alone all day before, and the weather was hot, she kindly cut her day short to make sure he was ok. We were very grateful for her kindness doing that and showed us how much she cared for Ted. It was lovely to see Ted happy and settled with her. Vanessa looked after him so well and I know he will miss her. We came home to a clean and tidy house, and a very content dog. Thankyou Vanessa.”
