“Thank you so much Alfie for making our time away stress free knowing our dogs and home were well taken care of. Alfie cared for our dogs and home as if they were his own. We came home to two happy pups and clean and tidy house. He kept us informed throughout. This kind of personal care and attention makes leaving your precious pups for a holiday so much easier. We will definitely be calling on his services again 😊”


“We'd booked to have our dog Dennis watched for a few hours while we were out as he can't be left on his own. Eddie was very friendly and understanding of his needs, came when we'd asked and sent us updates while we were out on how he was doing. Came home to a happy, well fussed dog. I'd absolutely recommend to anyone needing a dogsitter and I know we'll be booking again”


“Brittney superbly looked after our 2 dogs and they had a great time. Plenty of play and we were kept well informed. House was spotless when we returned. Definitely would book again.”


About: I’m experienced in handling large dogs (any size/breed welcome) and have a deep understanding of the needs and quirks of anxious and reactive dogs and the care and patience they require through my experience with my extremely nervous rescue German Shepherd who was in very bad mental and physical condition when I adopted him. Sadly, he passed at the end of 2024 after many happy years together. Personally, I found it extremely difficult to trust others to walk or care for him during our time together so I’d like to reassure those in a similar position that I can take care of their best friend when they need it and I’ll always be as careful, understanding and vigilant as I was with my own. My garden is secure with full, well-maintained fences and walls and a padlocked gate, I have blinds on all public facing windows which can be closed if dogs are triggered by people walking by. Everyone is welcome to supply any toys, beds or anything that makes your dog feel more comfortable and of course I will stick to their usual walking schedule and dietary requirements. I live directly next to a large park which is not typically very busy and offers numerous trails from the main paths to avoid others when caring for reactive dogs. I will never let anyone’s dog off the lead during a walk (unless I have booked a secure field) and always clip leads to a strong walking belt as extra security, walk in shaded areas on hot days and carry water at all times. I mainly work from home so when boarding and pet sitting your dog will be with me all day with regular opportunities to play, go in the garden and for walks in the morning, lunch time and evening. I’m available for walks morning, lunchtime and evenings during the week and all day Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday. I only care for dogs from the same household on walks and in my home unless they are friends who have already spent time together. This is for the best possible wellbeing of each dog. I’d rather provide quality and complete confidence than take on as many dogs as possible as I believe in giving them the individual care and attention they deserve with as few stressful triggers as possible. I work from home so dogs will not be left unattended or outside for prolonged periods. I only endorse the use of positive reinforcement / reward-based training and treat all dogs with respect, understanding and care tailored to their specific needs. I’m happy to discuss your requirements, answer any questions and arrange a pre-stay meet and greet if required. I have also completed a certified DBS check through my employer.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was a kid. Neighbours, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and look after their pets. I grew up with Frenchies and I am familiar with the needs of brachycephalic breeds such as bulldogs, pugs, Boston terriers etc. I also volunteer in a dog's shelter and I have fostered many dogs, till they get adopted. I am a full time employee, working from home few days per week. I love walks in the park and I would enjoy to have a four legged companion with me. I have a fenced garden and my house is dog-friendly, I have fostered senior dogs in the past, as well as ones that dealt with health issues and needed to take medicine at certain times of the day. However, I am not fostering any dog at the moment.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was a teenager for friends and family, including large sight hounds, medium and small sized dogs and cats. I work full time but my job has flexible hours so I’m able to drop in and care for your pets whenever you need me to. I am neat and tidy and am happy to care for your animal in your home or take them outside for walks if and when needed.

About: Hi, I’m Raychl! Im 31 years old and have been caring for animals of all breeds, shapes and sizes for as long as I can remember. From tiny basset hounds to giant Newfoundlands, i have experience with a variety of breeds. I have spent many years training, handling strong dogs, managing separation anxiety etc. Recently I have had to leave my previous job due to a health issue and this has given me a lot more free time to spend caring for pups who need a home away from home when their parents are busy. If you need a safe space with plenty of company and cuddles for your pup, please reach out! Im currently working part time fully from home so I have all the freedom to look after your pups. I only work a few hours a day from my laptop at home so we will also have time for plenty of walks and playtime in my garden after the couch cuddles have had their time. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. When caring for dogs in their own home, I stick closely to their normal routines—feeding, walking, and playtime—so they feel secure and relaxed. I make sure doors and gates are always properly secured, and I never let dogs off-leash unless in a safe, enclosed area. When pets stay with me, they have a calm, nurturing environment where they’re treated like part of the family. I provide plenty of love, walks (including beach strolls when suitable), fresh water, and a cozy space to rest. I’m also trained to watch for any signs of stress or discomfort, and I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel at ease knowing your furry friend is happy and cared for.

About: I had fogs when I lived at home with my parents and when I moved out I lived in a small house so adopted 2 brother cats. We have now moved to a bigger home and our children and us have a cat and a dog who are great friends. I am a stay at home parent so other than fitting around the school run i am free to walk/visit/feed your four legged friend at any time. I have a large garden with a patio, deck and grassy areas. The fences are high and sturdy so your fur baby will be safe and have fun to run around with my best friend Frankie.

About: I’m Sian and I’m my late 30s and I work from home. In 2024, I sadly lost my beloved 11-year-old German Shepherd and am now looking for dogs to share in some daily walks and enjoy some doggy companionship. I have plenty of experience with dogs, as they’ve always been a part of my family, and have had 2 rescue dogs of my own, so have lots of experience with anxious pooches. Don’t have any children, so I have plenty of time and attention to give. I love hiking and would be thrilled to have a dog join me on outdoor adventures! I work from home all week so I have plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your animals. Happy to have them overnight too! Don’t have any children and a big house and garden, so plenty of space to run around and play. Your dog will love running around or chilling at my house.

“It was nice to know our ‘kids’ were being well looked after. Coming home was a dream! The house was perfect, and the pets were so happy! Their routine was maintained, and they just loved on us when we walked in and gave Jon a cuddle before he left too. It was very clear that he cared for them. We would deffo recommend.”

I like to help other people and dogs and understand the hectic life we all have at times so I’m happy to help I take my dogs every morning at 8am to park so other doggies could come with me. I can also get my partner to help to keep things separate if I’m dog sitting at a house or taking them out I have a fenced garden and would look after your dog like it’s my own as I know how important our fur babies are to us

“I have known Michael for many years. He is a kind person who is always willing to help. He is real dog lover and has a really nice way with dogs and all animals alike. I regularly walk my dog Ollie with him and his dog Frankie. Michael helps me at school pick up times so I can go onto the school yard by looking after Ollie for me at the gates.
