About: As a lifelong dog lover, I’ve spent years around all breeds. I understand that every pup is unique and tailor each stay to their comfort and routine. From energetic puppies to slower-paced seniors, I offer patient, attentive care that helps dogs feel safe, happy, and at home. I work from home, which means your pup will never be short of attention, snuggles, or potty breaks! My flexible schedule allows me to stick closely to your dog’s usual routine - whether that means morning walks, midday playtime, or quiet afternoon naps by my desk. Because I’m home throughout the day, your dog will get plenty of company and supervision, making their stay feel relaxed and familiar. I offer a relaxed, loving home with a fully enclosed, secure garden - perfect for safe outdoor play, sniffing around, or soaking up some sun. Inside, your dog will have free roam of the house, with cozy spots to rest and plenty of attention throughout the day. I have a gentle, well-mannered 9-year-old Cavachon who enjoys the company of other dogs, making playtime a fun and friendly experience. I take introductions slowly, follow your pup’s usual routines, and always respect their comfort zones. Whether they’re full of energy or prefer quiet cuddles, I make sure they feel right at home.

About: Premise: my experience is mainly dog-related and I am unable to look after dogs less than 1 year old. My family always had a dog when I was growing up, my first memory would be time with my dad’s Rottweiler, named Bullet. During my teenage years, we adopted a mixed race dog that my youngest sister named Barbie! They had different needs, be it attention, care, exercise or health, and very early on I have been taught to look after our furry companions as part of the family: respect them and their space too. More recently, I have helped many families by boarding their pet while on holiday and I have also had regulars for day care: mainly dogs that cannot be left alone due to anxiety. At this time, I am solely offering dog walking and drop-in visit services as I have only recently moved to Peterborough and also rescued a puppy that is yet to achieve the medal for being “fully socialised”. I am a hybrid worker who spends 80% of her working time at home, during which I am flexible and can work with your timetable. Thank you for reading this far, I hope to meet you and your pooch soon! Being mainly based at home for work, I am flexible and can fit dog visits and walks throughout the day: morning until 3pm, 7 days a week. I would like to meet your dog for a walk at least once before committing to a walk or visit. This is mainly for mer to understand your pet’s behaviours and character, so I can match their energy and ensure we work on bonding and trust. Also, for you to see whether I would be a good fit for your dog.

About: I've had pets for about 15 years. I've had rabbits, guinea pigs and family dogs. Ive looked after family and firends dogs when they have gone on holiday and I have looked after neighbours pets when they have been away. We have a lovely cavalier king charles spaniel. He is very friendly with other dogs, very energetic and playful. I feel like I'm good at helping train puppies as the dogs I have had, have learnt really well with command's. Me and my partner bith work hybrid jobs so we will always have plenty of time to give to your dog, as one of us will always be hime. I Will normally take short notice bookings as I understand things can be planned last minute. We have a kitchen/diner that has patio doors straight onto the garden. The garden is all enclosed. Every dog I have looked after, runs around with Bailey playing in the garden. We love going on long walks and walking around the lakes. If they get mucky then I'll be happy to give them them a quick bath or just wash their paws.


“Very much recommended. Took really good care of my cats while we were away. Asked questions, came to visit us to go through the schedule and sent lots of updates. Instructions followed and all lovely and clean when we got back.”


“Elizabeth was absolutely incredible! She was very attentive and made sure to talk to me so we were both on the same page with our dogs. Her assistance on looking after our pups relieved so much stress off our family’s shoulder, I recommend her for anything with elder pups, like us! She’s absolutely amazing!!”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who grew up with cats and now have two very different dogs of my own. Lando, a stubborn but lovable Rottweiler, and Rolo, an anxious little dachshund with a big heart. I trained both of them myself and often get compliments on how well behaved they are. Rolo’s journey especially has taught me so much we’ve worked hard to build his confidence and help him feel safe, and the progress we’ve made is something I’m really proud of. I understand that every dog is different, and I’m patient, calm, and tuned in to their individual needs. Whether they’re shy, reactive, energetic, or just need a little extra love. While I’m new to pet sitting and dog walking professionally, I bring real life experience, a deep love for animals, and a commitment to treating your pets like family. Belly rubs and treats are always included! Right now, I’m not working a traditional job, which means I have the time, flexibility, and energy to focus fully on pet care. My days already revolve around walks, playtime, training sessions, and snuggles with my two dogs, Lando and Rolo. I’m used to managing different needs and routines, and I genuinely enjoy giving animals the attention and care they deserve. While I don’t offer care in my own home, I take caring for pets in their own space seriously it’s where they feel safest and most comfortable. I always follow your instructions closely, whether it’s feeding routines, medications, walk schedules, or just how your pet likes to be greeted. I take the time to earn their trust, keep things calm and positive, and make sure they get plenty of love, attention, and play (or quiet time if that’s what they prefer). I treat every pet like they’re my own!

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by pets and have always loved caring for them. Over the years, I’ve looked after neighbors’ and friends’ pets, making sure they are well-fed, walked, and loved as if they were my own. I have plenty of free time, and I want to spend it doing what I love most — caring for animals. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or simply giving pets the love and attention they need, I’m happy to make pet care a natural part of my routine. I create a safe, clean, and loving environment for every pet. I follow owners’ instructions carefully, provide food, water, and attention, and make sure pets feel happy, secure, and cared for like my own.

“Tom took great care of my cats again. Good to know they are looked after while we are away and came home to a neat and tidy kitchen with all instructions followed. Thanks again!”


About: Not had pets of my own for years Daughter off to university and I'm currently self employed working from home looking for four legged company and an excuse for a walk Working from home I'm here for cuddles company , loo breaks and walks no more school run to do and fairly flexible routine to fit around needs I'm am early riser and have a big open space downstairs along with a courtyard and an enclosed garden with a park nearby for walks

About: I’ve looked after family dogs from the age of 12 until present day, I helped train both my childhood dogs in puppy classes and regularly walk my dog while at home. My mum has a dog grooming salon attached to my childhood home and so I have encountered dogs of every kind and enjoy helping her out when I’m home if the dogs are a-bit of a handful! I have personal experiences doing day sitting for a wonderful pair of labradoodles. I have also done overnight, week and two week ,house/dog sitting for owners going away. I have looked after a cockerpoo, labradoodle, shitzu , cavapoo, Labrador and even a mixed breed Hungarian rescue! I love dogs of all ages, sizes and breeds and will respect all boundaries/training in the home to provide consistency for your gorgeous pooch. I offer a meet and walk , where I will accompany you and your furry friend on a walk, I feel this is a perfect way to build a bond with your doggy with You in their company in neutral territory and gives a great opportunity to show me your dogs walking habits and even a local route they may be used to taking. I currently work part-time as a children’s support worker and I’m training to be a children’s play therapist, so my availability can vary slightly from week to week — but I’m usually able to plan ahead and can often request specific days off for bookings. I’m open to all kinds of care: whether it’s regular weekly walks, evening visits, house sitting while you go away. I’ll always do my best to help with last-minute requests too if I’m free! I just appreciate a bit of notice where possible so I can make sure everything runs smoothly and your pet gets the time, care, and attention they deserve. Your pet’s comfort and safety are always my top priority, so, I like to take things at their pace. When we’re first getting to know each other, I find that a walk or initial meeting with yourself present prior , can be a great way to build trust without stepping too far into their personal boundaries straight away. I’m confident with feeding, walking, brushing(having a mum who’s a dog groomer helps!), and even a good wash in the bath if needed. I’m more than happy to follow any specific care instructions you have. I’ll always respect your home, your pet’s routines, and any boundaries you set. Whether it’s double-checking gates, making sure your dog doesn’t attempt a runaway mission on a walk, or just keeping curious paws out of cupboards, I’m on it. I treat every pet like they’re my own, because I know often I’m not working with simply pets, they’re family. I genuinely care about keeping them safe, happy, and feeling loved while you’re away, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly.

About: I have been relied upon for the last 10 years by friends, family and neighbours to look after their pets while they have been away. I have looked after hamsters, rabbits, gerbils, guinea pigs, cats, dogs and once a lizard... I show each and every animal that I take care of the same amount of love as I show my own pets. I currently work part-time as a carer. I usually have a max of 4 hours work in a day and drive all around Peterborough so can easily pop in to your pets and can make time for walks before and after my work. Please send me a message regardless of what my calendar looks like, I am always willing to work something out that will benefit me, you and your pet(s). I have an Old English Sheepdog puppy who is 6 months old, if you would like, I can take your dog(s) out on walks with Daisy or I can take them alone. Let me know what you prefer and I will adhere to your wishes! Whatever the animal, I will show them as much love as I show my own pets.

Emily D.
“I completely trust Emily in my home with both my dog and cat. She’s brilliant with energetic or nervous dogs, calm and reliable when giving medication, and always sends regular updates and photos for peace of mind. Emily has looked after my cocker spaniel, Obie, many times while I’ve been away, as well as taking him on walks when I’m busy with work. Obie can be quite energetic and sometimes nervous with new people, but with Emily she put him at ease so quickly. Shes fantastic at keeping him exercised, calm, and happy ,whether on or off the lead as he can be abit tricky sometimes as he gets so excited! She also cared for my tabby cat, Millie, who needed daily medication at the time, which she handled so well, which really reassured me. I completely trust Emily in my home and with my fur babies! She always sends updates and photos to our my mind at rest, which makes being away so much easier. I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter or dog walker.”


Jessica D.
“Jessica is a reliable and trustworthy person. She always takes great care of my cat and he loves when she comes over to look after him while I’m away. Jessica constantly sends updates when she’s pet-sitting which means I can relax and focus on my holiday. She plays with his favourite string toys whenever she is round and always seems to know when enough is enough. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter while they are going away.”
