About: Compassionate pet sitter with over 4 years of experience providing attentive care to a variety of dog breeds. Successfully increased client satisfaction ratings through regular communication with pet owners. Proficient in administering medications, managing dietary needs, and ensuring safe exercise routines for pets. I am out on walk 2x daily.

“Elena has been incredibly helpful checking in on our dogs at short notice. She's friendly and professional, and clearly loves getting to know the animals she's entrusted with. We'll very likely seek her service again in the future.”

About: I personally have 4 pets, I own a dog as a boarder collie and two cats that I love and have taken care of since I was young. My eldest is my cat and she is 14 years old while my smallest is my dog and she is 3 years old. I have watched over pets before for friends and family and I have always gotten back positive reviews as I love animals and have always been around them. Furthermore, I have personally trained my dog and she is able to do many different skills and commands. I am currently an A-Level student with flexible hobbies so I have plenty of time to take care of any pets that I am asked to care for. I ensure that the pets I own are always happy, fed and played with as they are very important and a big responsibility within a household

“I can’t thank Isobel enough for taking such great care of Bonnie and Clyde. She kept in touch with me daily with photos and videos. She not only took care of their daily needs, she took the time to play with them and give them love. Thank you so much ! I feel for the first time ever that I can go on holiday knowing my cats will receive the very best of care. I would highly recommend Isobel and I will definitely be using her for my future holidays .”

About: I’ve been a cat owner for nearly four years and currently have three cats of my own – Belle (Domestic Long Hair), Elsie (Ragdoll) and Dobby (Domestic Short Hair). Caring for them has given me hands-on experience with cats of different personalities, temperaments and needs. I grew up around rabbits, guinea pigs, dogs and cats, so I’ve always been surrounded by animals. While I now only own cats, I still have experience caring for my family’s dog, so I’m comfortable around dogs as well. I also have experience caring for cats with medical conditions and administering medication. My Ragdoll, Elsie, was unwell for an extended period and required daily medication before she was successfully weaned off it. She now has a specialist gastrointestinal diet, so I’m confident following feeding plans, administering medication and monitoring a cat’s health. In addition to caring for my own cats, I’ve helped search for missing and stray cats alongside a local cat rescue. I’m passionate about animal welfare and believe every pet deserves to feel safe, loved and well cared for. I will always treat your pets with the same love, patience and attention that I give my own. I currently work fully remotely, with core working hours of 10:00am–3:00pm. Outside of these hours, I have the flexibility to manage my workload, allowing me to fit pet visits and care around my schedule. I also have my own car, so I’m happy to travel to care for your pets. I’m based in Trentham, Stoke-on-Trent, but I’m willing to travel to surrounding areas to provide reliable, loving care for your furry family members. I live in a two-bedroom semi-detached home with a secure, fenced garden, providing a safe outdoor space if required. My home is situated in a quiet residential area with plenty of local walking routes nearby, making it ideal for calm and enjoyable walks. I’ll always follow your pet’s usual routine, including feeding schedules, medication, exercise and any specific care instructions, to ensure they feel comfortable, safe and settled while in my care.

“Charley was amazing and really went above and beyond. My cat is usually cautious with strangers, but Charley was able to gain her trust from the very first visit. She sent me updates and photos every day, so I always knew everything was fine and my cat was in good hands while I was away for two weeks. She also left the house clean and tidy. I will definitely book Charley again and would highly recommend her.”

About: I have a Level 3 Diploma in Animal Management, where I learned about animal care, behaviour, and welfare. I’ve also volunteered at a variety of kennels, gaining hands-on experience caring for dogs of different breeds and temperaments. I have walked dogs for other people, ensuring they get the exercise and attention they need. I also grew up with a cat from when I was born until I was 12, which gave me a good understanding of cat care and behaviour. I work full time during the week, but I’m available for overnight stays from Friday evening after work, all day and overnight on Saturdays, and Sundays until late evening. I’ll always make sure pets get plenty of attention, care, and routine during the time I’m with them. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding routines, walks, medication if needed, and any house rules. I take a calm and patient approach so pets feel relaxed and secure, and I make sure they are always supervised and well cared for. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel reassured while they’re away.

About: Recently relocated from Buckinghamshire! We have always had animals at home of various types. I have worked with animal for the past 12 years in various roles, most recently as a dog trainer for 8 years I work full time but can arrange to work from home on occasion. I do not work weekends so am fully available from Friday evening through the weekend for pet care. Can discuss weekdays and evenings for a few hours up to overnight stays if required but would not be in your home all day so pets must be able to be left if a weekday booking for up to 4h. I will care for your pets in your home as to your standards. I will aim to follow your walking, feeding and care schedule. Can discuss any personalised requirements on enquiry

“Ruby was great dropping in whilst we were away. Regular comms and pics and regular updates every day. Came home to a very chilled and cared for cat. Would highly recommend and will use again in the future if available.”

About: I have taken care and walked dogs for as long as I can remember, whether that’s my dogs or family, friends or people who live near. Having 3 of my own I understand the needs required for your dogs. I have also trained all 3 of my own dogs and currently still training the smallest one as well as taking them to hidden gems for long walks. I currently work full-time but I have a work from home day and half a day every week, meaning I am free every evening from 4:30-5:30 and once a week from 1:30-2:30 and then every weekend anytime :) I have 3 dogs of my own that can roam the garden as well as the house as it is fenced and the gate can be locked. Equally, I have a section of the garden that can separate my dogs from yours or if you prefer they can be kept separate. I am also able to put them in a crate if that is required.

About: I have been walking and looking after pets from a young age having grown up with a variety of cats, dogs, horses and hamsters. I volunteered to walk dogs for the elderly neighbours when I was still at school I have since then worked with horses and within farming. I set up on my own as a dog walker and pet sitter last year giving up my full time job to do that. I still keep my hand in with the odd milking and bit of calf rearing on the farm. I have two working spaniels myself so have experience with energetic high prey drive dogs. Where I can I foster for a rescue and volunteer at a couple of dog rescues with their training and assessments. I am fully insured and DBS checked, I have my first aid and I’m currently completing a course in canine training, behaviour and welfare. Your pets will be cared for as if they were my own and their individual needs met to a high standard at all times. This is now my full time job and I work my daily routine around my bookings. I started my own business just over 12 months ago now and I love spending every day with some amazing pets. I endeavour to follow the pets routine as it would be when their owners are home so as to not unsettle them. I always treat each pet as if they are my own and love and spoil them all the same.

About: I am a hands on, enthusiastic animal lover who has cared for animals for over 30 years including dogs of all sizes, cats, reptiles, horses and hens. I have undertaken pet sittings in particular for over 15 years for friends, family and clients and ensure that your pets are cared for to the highest standard. I hold a DBS check, Driving Licence and am committed to the needs of the pet(s) within my care. Depending on the breed and age, I am patient, attentive and committed to ensuring that your pet's routine is adhered to as well as ensuring any medication requirements are met. I currently work part time undertaking administration for my wife's business which is done remotely via laptop therefore I have as much time that's required to care for your pet(s). I may have regular dog walks throughout the day however this would be minimal if you required me to be present constantly for your pets. For a pet sit in your home, I am open to adhering to the requests in which you set yourselves to fit into your pets timetable. It is important to me to ensure that any pet sit undertaken is smooth with minimal disruption to their daily routine.

About: Hi, I’m Beth 👋 I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs my whole life, there’s always been at least one (more often than not, two) in the house, so caring for them is second nature to me. I have a genuine love for all animals but dogs hold a special place in my heart. I have a particular soft spot for small dogs, having owned and cared for several throughout my life, so I understand their unique personalities, needs and quirks better than most. I’m also experienced with anxious and reactive dogs. My own dog is reactive and has anxiety, so I understand the patience, calm and careful handling these dogs need. If your dog is nervous or doesn’t always get on well with others, you’re in safe hands. I treat every dog in my care as if they were my own; with patience, love and plenty of attention. Your dog’s happiness, comfort and safety will always be my priority, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages during every walk so you can see they’re happy and well cared for. I offer walks on weekday evenings from 5pm and across most weekends, making me a great option for owners who need reliable cover outside of standard working hours. Whether you need a regular evening walk or weekend adventures for your pup, I’d love to help. I offer solo or small group walks in safe, familiar routes around the local area. I don’t currently offer home boarding or pet sitting at my property due to my reactive/anxious dog Bambi, but I am fully focused on providing the best possible experience during walks, giving every dog my complete attention and care.

“We booked with Paul again as he was amazing with Daisy and Oscar. We were sent lots of pictures and updates whilst we were away which we really appreciated. Paul was was great and we will be booking again ☺️”

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life, both in the home and outdoors, so caring for them comes naturally to me. For the past 5 years, I’ve been a proud owner of Zara, my Golden Retriever, and for 8 years I’ve had my cat, Feli. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every animal with patience, love, and attention, just like my own. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or simply keeping them company, I make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for at all times. I work from home while my two children are at nursery (morning–5 PM), so I have plenty of time to care for dogs, provide walks, and give them constant attention in a calm environment. I offer a safe and secure environment with a fully fenced garden. My dog is friendly and well-behaved, and my cat is calm and used to other animals. I always supervise pets to ensure a safe, relaxed, and loving atmosphere.

About: Im a professional, insured pet carer, I have run my business Spend a Penny Pet care for 5 years covering Staffordshire Moorlands area. I am here for your pets needs and have my own transport! I’ve taken care of a range of dog breeds from small to large and care for each client like my own. I have worked with nervous dogs and find that so rewarding. Also I’ve worked with puppies and elderly dogs even a blind dog. I work full time in the week with pet care business and I will work weekends too if needed, also evenings are available too if needed I have a secure house for doggy day care and great walking routes by me to take the dogs, I can’t provide dog boarding, I have a garden

About: I have taken care of a whole manner of animals and had a passion for animal care since I was 10 years old, which is when I started dog walking. Since starting my vet school training, I have looked after both cats and dogs, as well as working in both a cattery and kennels. I have lots of experience with both puppies and senior dogs as I have owned dogs myself throughout the years. I am happy to cater to any needs owners or dogs may have. Any animals that are in my care will be treated like my own and can sleep on my bed whenever they like. I am the kind of person to take your furry friend around with me all day. I love to take dogs out in my car to explore somewhere new. I love to have a companion to come running with me as well as take them with me to a coffee shop afterward! I have lots of previous experience with bully breeds as I have owned them myself, so I understand their quirks and how they wouldn’t be suited to kennels boarding! Any questions or specific dates needed, feel free to get in touch. I am currently at vet school, so during the day, I am at university. However, I live 5 minutes away from where I am studying, so I can travel back to take animals out for a walk or for the toilet when needed. I have an active lifestyle and go out running nearly every day, so dogs that love a walk will be happy with me. Any animals that are in my care will be treated like my own and can sleep on my bed whenever they like. I unfortunately dont have a garden however there is a large park across the road from where i live so I can take out for the toilet and a sniff round when needed.
