About: I have been looking after animals for most of my life, and would be happy to help with other peoples furry friends. I have a 3 legged cat and a young (ish) friendly dog. I like an active house, and am always happy to go out for extra walks, and will get out in any weather for some fresh air and a run around. I have experience with dogs of all ages and from small to large breed, and am confident and calm with nervous dogs or those who have come from rescue and need a little more special tlc. I can look after your loved furry friend Monday to Friday in the afternoons and evenings in term time with more flexibility in the school holidays. The family pets have the run of the house, and also have an outdoor run to go into when the weather is good. Our dog has a blast out in the woods in the morning before breakfast to work up an appetite and then a walk or run later in the day. We also have a large garden and attached woodland for exploring and to keep active brains busy

About: I’ve had dogs within the family looking after them and giving them the care they need. I’ve looked after active, laidback, elderly and young dogs. The services I offer are 1:1 & group walking (if in the same area and the dogs get a long with each other) the walks are tailored to each dog and I sometimes take them in the car to go explore new areas for them to sniff. I’ve worked in kennels and a dog daycare in the past so have good experience with different dogs. I’m available most of the days if there isn’t another pet sit booked but this can be discussed further when bookings come up, the dogs are tend to be left for 4 - 5hrs at a time and then I stay with them for an hour before I go back out again. My schedule varies week to week depending on what I’ve got booked in that day. I am happy to fit in your dog in the surrounding area and give them the best care. Whilst pet sitting in your own home I ensure that the dogs routine is followed. I will take in your post and on my departure I’ll ensure that you home is left clean and tidy.

Grace has done a great job taking care of our cats. They can be quite nervous of new people and one needs extra care as she’s diabetic so also needed insulin injecting. Grace met all their needs and we’d highly recommend her, we’ll definitely book her again next time we go away!

Emily made us feel at ease and worry free when leaving our cats for a few weeks. She updated us on her visits and sent pictures so we could see how they were doing and put our mind at ease.

So glad I discovered Kelly. My cat, Barry, and I instantly bonded with her. I got some lovely and amusing updates, with some great photos. I think Barry took a real shine to her & was subsequently quite disappointed to see me walk through the door upon my return. Kelly was happy to stay over her allotted time to make sure Barry had everything he needed. Communication has been great. Really happy with the service provided. I have already rebooked Kelly & have no issues in using her again if required in the future…..I know Barry will be delighted 😀

About: Starting early, I did work experience in a kennels and animal sanctuary at school and progressed on to Animal Care college at 16. Since then I've had my own animals from dogs to cats, chickens to rats...and looked after many others from dog walking to overnight stays. A qualified teacher now enjoying a slower pace of life! I'm self employed and work as a Jewellery designer and tutor so I am very flexible. I live in a beautiful area away from too many people and traffic. I'm a huge nature fan so I walk every day with my own dog and would love to have more company of the furry variety to enjoy my strolls! I have a 3 year old Border Collie who we had as a puppy from the dogs trust. We also have two cats, a Gecko and three chickens. We live on a private woodland estate. I work self employed so I'm flexible with timings however early mornings are tricky due to school runs. I generally work in my studio from 11-4 but again, I'm flexible. I have a Collie who you could say is spoilt, however I would say he's loved to bits! I also have two cats, one 14 and one 7 as well as 8 hens and 5 cockerels. Huge animal lover who prefers animals to people! 🤣

Karolina was amazing all the way. Her helpfulness to get us out of a sticky situation to providing plenty of information about timing, for when we could drop him off. She was amazing at keeping our cat Dave active and entertained. My partner was delighted to receive plenty of pictures and videos of our happy cat playing and being swamped with attention

Helaina did two 30 minute visits to look after my Ruby. Ruby seemed to really warm to Helaina and seemed as though she had a good time. Ruby is an anxious puppy and Helaina really helped her come out of her shell a bit 😊 would definitely use Helaina again!

Lauren has been such a find! Having never used pet services before, it’s a bit worrying handing your keys over to a stranger and having them look after your pets. Lauren made me feel at ease from the start. I’ve had photo and text updates on the status of my pet, which has been reassuring. She has also been very accommodating. My life, at present, is a little chaotic and she has been very patient with me, changing dates, last minute requests etc. I’m really delighted with the service she has offered and will definitely use her again in the future.
