About: I’m a qualified veterinary nurse and have had animals all my life :) grown up with cats, dogs, guinea pigs and rabbits. I Work daily with cats and dogs- can administer all kinds of medications confidently and someone you can trust I am currently working full time but with my schedule I do have some days off during the week and available most nights after work When pet sitting your pets I will ensure I do everything in my best possible interest to make sure your pet is happy and healthy.I Aim to make sure they have fun while their owners are away, which for some will be a very stressful time for them

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

“Madison always keeps us up to date with what she is doing with Ziggy. Our springer always has lots of fun and loves having a walk with her. Madison is reliable and responds to messages promptly.”

About: Although I have only had my own pet for a year, I have looked after multiple dogs of friends and relatives in my adult life. I have a working male cocker spaniel who I have trained from being a puppy so have had experience of all age ranges. I have looked after older dogs who only need light activity to younger high energy dogs. I will try to help out in any way I can whether it be a walk to over night stays. I work part time and can alter rota if needed to help scheduling. I can mostly do Friday, Saturday and Sunday so you can enjoy long weekends away. I can do the odd day during the week depending on schedules for dog sitting and walking during the day. I have a fenced garden and a one year old male cocker spaniel dog who LOVES other dogs. Both me and him will do the most to make your pets feel the most comfortable from walks to overnights stays.

“We have left our two dogs (a Puppy and an adult dog) with Smarika while sightseeing in London for Daycare on 2 days in a row. We met Smarika directly infront of HMS Belfast and infront of the Tower of London. Smarika took very well care of both, handled them professionally and was very receptive and caring regarding the needs of the dogs. While caring for the dogs, Smarika sent lots of pictures and information about the dogs wellbeing. Smarika is very trustworthy, polite and professional and satisfied our needs 100%. I would definitely recommend her to everyone who is looking for a loving care of their dog(s).”

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.

About: Hi, I’m Joe. I’ve dedicated over a decade to animal welfare, working in leadership and frontline roles with a Pet Rehoming Charity across Yorkshire and the North of England. I currently lead client services within a rehoming centre, overseeing admissions, adoptions, and volunteer support. Alongside my practical experience, I hold a BSc (Hons) in Animal Behaviour and Training, and I’ve worked as an Animal Behaviour Coordinator delivering coaching support, training advice, and support for pets with a wide range of behavioural needs. I also have experience of fostering. I have fostered Cats, dogs and a variety of small animals. I have experience with Rabbits, Guinea Pigs, Hamsters, Chinchillas, Rats and Mice. I have a deep understanding of each species’ needs, temperaments, and welfare requirements. Animals are not just my passion — they are my profession. I’m confident with Pets of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments, and I take a calm, structured, reward-based approach to care. Because of my background, safety and wellbeing are always my priority. I take time to understand your pets routine, triggers, and comfort levels. I use positive, evidence-based handling methods.I provide clear communication and updates. I remain calm and consistent — particularly important for under confident pets. I treat your pet as an individual. I have supported hundreds of adopters through life-changing journeys with their pets, so I understand how important trust is when leaving your animal with someone new. Pet care fits carefully around my professional work schedule. To example, mornings, evenings, weekends and during periods of leave. I only take on pets whose needs I can fully support alongside and or outside my work schedule, ensuring they receive consistent, attentive care. I provide a safe, calm, and secure environment for every pet, whether in my home or yours. I carefully observe each animal’s behaviour and needs, adjusting interactions and routines to ensure they feel comfortable and confident. Safety is a top priority, I supervise play, follow feeding instructions, and ensure pets aren’t left in situations that could compromise their wellbeing. I keep open communication with owners, providing updates and guidance so pets feel secure and owners feel confident their animals are cared for responsibly.

About: Since childhood, I have always had a family dog, so being around and caring for dogs has been a big part of my life. I’ve been volunteering most weekends at Holly Hedge Dog Sanctuary, whenever my work schedule allows. During my time there, I’ve had the opportunity to work with a wide variety of dogs, each with different personalities and needs. This experience has not only shown my love for animals but has also helped me develop a strong confidence in looking after dogs and understanding their behavior. It's something I really enjoy and feel passionate about. My work schedule changes each week, so feel free to send me a message! Your dog will always be my top priority, and I will make sure to find time to give them the attention they deserve. I’m currently living in military accommodation on Catterick Camp. While my living area isn’t very spacious, I can guarantee that your dog will receive plenty of attention and care. I’ll make sure to take them out for walks in a secure and safe environment where they can enjoy themselves. Your dog's well-being is important to me, and I want to ensure they have the exercise, love and attention they need.

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! 🤣

“Our dog Pepe loved his waiks with Megan and co! Wouldn't hesitate to ask Megan D to help us out againl A lovely lady who genuinely loves animals and is also very professional in her approach. Thank you!”

About: We have taken care of many animals some on a long term basis and other for just a day. We love having them to stay. I currently spend mornings walking the dogs and spend afternoons ironing peoples clothes at home so I have plenty of time to spend with animals. My garden is very secure and is fully fenced. I have a large living area for the pets to relax and they are rarely alone.
